Qi Xing's words left no room for negotiation.
Bai Xiaoling's emotions immediately flared up, and she shouted, "You're talking nonsense! Bai Xiaoqing was just over a month ago, he… a month ago…"
That's right, she and Bai Xiaoqing had lost contact over a month ago.
What Bai Xiaoling didn't say was that the words on the note were written in blood.
The writing became more and more frantic, repeatedly emphasizing that she shouldn't go out, and shouldn't open the door for anyone.
When Bai Xiaoling received the note, her face turned deathly pale, and her whole body went cold.
But she refused to believe it, refused to believe that Bai Xiaoqing could be in trouble.
Bai Xiaoqing was in his prime, young and promising, his father's most proud child, the most promising person in their family. How could he have died so carelessly?
Bai Xiaoling covered her face with her hands, blocking the tears that streamed from her eyes.
Listening to the conversation between Qi Xing and Bai Xiaoling, Jiang Zhaosu also recalled something.
It seemed there was a plot point like this in the novel she had read.
A high-level mutated species had led a large horde of zombies to break through Hurricane Base's defenses in the middle of the night, attacking the base.
The battle that night was extremely fierce. Almost the entire base of survivors was wiped out, with only a few survivors with abilities escaping to seek help from Chasing Moon Base.
Chasing Moon Base dispatched Pei Chixuan to lead a team of Rank A Ability Users to exterminate the zombie horde.
Unexpectedly, the mutated species had evolved intelligence. Not only did it occupy the base, but it also understood how to deploy combat plans. For a time, even Pei Chixuan couldn't defeat this mutated species. In the end, it was thanks to the Female Lead Cen Jiao's heaven-defying space ability that she pulled out a rocket launcher and blew it to smithereens.
When Jiang Zhaosu saw Cen Jiao pull out the rocket launcher, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy shit."
I mean, it's one thing for the Female Lead to pull out a car or a gun from her space, but how could she pull out a rocket launcher?
Where did she stock all these things?
Besides, Cen Jiao had always been a delicate, sickly beauty, timid and easily frightened, panting after just a few steps. How could she suddenly be able to carry a rocket launcher?
At the time, she thought the plot was a bit ridiculous.
However, the author later tried to cover it up, saying that Cen Jiao had casually picked it up when Pei Chixuan took her to inspect the base's armory.
Although Jiang Zhaosu also found this reason far-fetched, she grudgingly accepted it and continued reading.
Cen Jiao had fired one rocket launcher, blasting the mutated species into nothingness. Logically, zombies, which couldn't survive without a head, should have died for sure. But what Cen Jiao and Pei Chixuan didn't know was that this mutated species also possessed a heaven-defying ability.
It could not only control the minds of other zombies but also transfer its will to other zombies.
There were too many zombies, and Pei Chixuan and the ability user team hadn't eliminated all of them, allowing this mutated species to survive. It began to develop stealthily and later became a mini-boss in the story.
Much higher level than Qi Xing's boss.
Qi Xing wasn't even a mini-boss; he was just an insignificant villain from the eighteenth tier who didn't even have a name.
"No, I'm going to the base to find Bai Xiaoqing. I don't believe he's dead!"
Bai Xiaoling suddenly shrieked madly, "I, who want to die, am still alive! How dare he die! How dare he live so comfortably!"
Bai Xiaoling, limping, was about to run out of the city but was dragged back by Qi Xing with a vine.
"You're Fugui's Reserve Food, where do you think you're going?"
Qi Xing comforted her, "It's okay, didn't you just say that hell is warmer than this world? Your brother has already gone down, and we'll send you down soon, so you can be reunited with your brother in hell."
Jiang Zhaosu: "……"
Sympathetic, but not much.
Good.
Jiang Zhaosu watched Bai Xiaoling rolling and crying on the ground like a caterpillar, and a sudden idea popped into her mind.
She had been bothered by the incident where Xiao Chuxi had cracked her neck and almost killed her.
If they took advantage of the fact that the mutated species hadn't finished its stealthy development yet, and she and Qi Xing killed it and consumed its Crystal Core, wouldn't she no longer have to worry about the previous situation?
That mutated species had taken nearly a year to develop into a mini-boss.
It had only been a month now, and the mutated species was severely injured and definitely still in a weakened state.
The protagonists were completely unaware of this and wouldn't pay attention to this abandoned base.
With such favorable timing, location, and human factors, it was the perfect opportunity for her to swoop in and reap the rewards.
"We, go, to the base, find, your brother."
Jiang Zhaosu opened her mouth and spoke slowly.
"Huh?"
Bai Xiaoling on the ground and Qi Xing beside her looked at her simultaneously.
"What are we going to Hurricane Base for?" Qi Xing asked confusedly. "I heard from people in the team that it's all ruins there, nothing useful."
Jiang Zhaosu looked at Bai Xiaoling on the ground and tugged Qi Xing's sleeve.
Qi Xing followed her a few steps to the side, bent down, and listened as she whispered in his ear.
Jiang Zhaosu told Qi Xing the information she knew about Hurricane Base, and also explained how she knew Pei Chixuan and Cen Jiao.
"Oh, so you were originally a survivor from Hurricane Base, and you turned into a little zombie back then."
As a former member of Chasing Moon Base, Qi Xing had also heard about Pei Chixuan being sent to Hurricane Base on a mission: "No wonder you were so afraid of that Pei guy."
"That's not right." Qi Xing suddenly became alert. "Didn't you say you knew them before you were zombified?"
Jiang Zhaosu:?
How did Qi Xing remember everything she said so clearly?
"I've seen them before, too."
Jiang Zhaosu swallowed, coming up with a casual excuse: "He, handsome. Impression, deep."
Qi Xing: "..."
"How is he handsome?"
Qi Xing suddenly began to critique the other person's appearance with very poor manners: "His skin is dark, and he has so much hair. He looks rough."
Jiang Zhaosu: "..."
Was that the point?
The point was, she needed to get the Crystal Core from that Mutated Species!
Jiang Zhaosu clenched her fist, a devil whispering: "Mutated Species, kill. Crystal Core, obtain."
Anyway, they had enough supplies now. Qi Xing indulged her: "Alright, alright, let's go then."
The zombie and the person, with their two heads close together, whispered for a long time before finally turning around and looking again at Bai Xiaoling, who was still lying on the ground behind them.
Qi Xing cleared his throat. Although he wasn't going for Bai Xiaoling, he still had to give her some face: "My Fugui is a rather kind-hearted little zombie, and he was moved by your sincerity in wanting to see your brother. Let's head to Hurricane Base now and see if we can find your brother."
