Qin Hehuan first glanced at the zombies that were constantly grabbing at the air through the railing, and then turned her gaze to Cheng Yuqiu, quietly waiting for the other party to continue.
“Nie Qingyun hasn’t caught up yet…” Cheng Yuqiu stood up in pain:
"According to the previous agreement, we should wait for him for at least... at least half an hour."
Upon hearing this, Qin Hehuan raised an eyebrow slightly, looked into the distance as if sensing something, and only withdrew her gaze after a long while. Without saying a word, she turned and walked into the depths of the corridor, leaving behind only a row of bloody footprints.
Just as Cheng Yuqiu was about to press for more information, she was interrupted by other people nearby.
"Get up quickly, we still have things to do."
"But……"
"Do you still think you're the pampered young lady you once were?!" A boy suddenly interrupted Cheng Yuqiu with a fierce glint in his eyes and a low growl.
The other people present didn't look too good and all remained silent.
They certainly knew that what Cheng Yuqiu said was true.
Because Qin Hehuan wouldn't be foolish enough to directly tell people to go to their deaths, even using women and food as "rewards" wouldn't be enough to embolden most people; she wanted to leave these people with hope.
Therefore, an agreement was made from the beginning that the team would wait for anyone who went out to carry out a mission in a safe place for a period of time.
But the situation is different now. One end of the corridor is completely blocked by zombies. Even if Nie Qingyun can come back, this isolation wall will not be opened, otherwise everyone will become food for the zombies.
These things are clearly not suitable to be discussed openly, but this young lady doesn't know how to read between the lines.
Cheng Yuqiu was startled by the other party's fierce gaze.
Such a drastic change in attitude made it difficult for her to adapt. Before, everyone had been very polite to her, but ever since she entered the small room with Nie Qingyun, everyone's attitude towards her had become cold.
No one cared about her feelings anymore, and no one was willing to offer her any concern. Everything that had happened before now seemed like a fabrication woven from lies and delusions.
She had never felt the oppression of loneliness so acutely as she did now.
People nearby left one after another, leaving Cheng Yuqiu standing there in a daze.
The grievances in her heart turned into warm tears that welled up in her eyes, and her vision began to blur. Just then, a slightly thin figure walked over.
Upon seeing who it was, a hint of joy appeared in the young lady's eyes.
Liu Zhenyu was one of her many suitors, but he didn't have a prominent family background and wasn't usually high-profile. Cheng Yuqiu had a fairly good impression of him, so even though she knew that a relationship between the two of them was impossible, she didn't hurt him too much.
The fact that he was able to care about her now warmed Cheng Yuqiu's heart.
But then she immediately realized that things were not quite as she had imagined.
The boy, who had never dared to look her in the eye before, was now staring intently at her chest. Even through her clothes, Cheng Yuqiu felt a chill run down her spine and instinctively hugged her chest.
The other person's eyes were filled with naked desire, and even their expression was unusual, no longer gentle and refined, but strange and gloomy.
"Don't come over..."
"Tsk tsk tsk," Liu Zhenyu chuckled and clicked his tongue, scanning Cheng Yuqiu up and down with a strange laugh:
"I never thought you'd end up like this. To be honest, I'm even a little envious of Nie Qingyun."
"By the way, you've slept with that guy, haven't you?"
"What?" Cheng Yuqiu was stunned for a moment, and only reacted to the blunt and strongly insulting words a second later:
"You, you shouldn't talk nonsense!"
"It's a pity that guy has probably already been eaten by zombies," Liu Zhenyu said, while greedily looking at Cheng Yuqiu, then suddenly leaned closer and took a deep breath:
"I wonder what it would feel like for a noble young lady like you to 'use' it..."
"Why are you hiding... It's such a waste not to use such a lewd body to make people feel good."
If this were in the past, anyone who dared to say such things in front of Cheng Yuqiu would have been taken to the Security Bureau's underground jail by a group of guards with riot shields. Unfortunately, this is the end of the world, and she can't even fight back.
All I could do was try to protect my body and keep retreating.
At one point, Cheng Yuqiu suddenly felt an unusual touch on her back. When she turned around, she saw countless arms reaching out from the gaps in the isolation wall.
"Ah!" The girl screamed and jumped far away, her face pale as she began to sob.
Fortunately, someone called Liu Zhenyu's name from afar, and he walked away listlessly. Before turning around, he licked his lips while staring at Cheng Yuqiu's skirt.
"Waaah!" Cheng Yuqiu leaned against the wall and slowly slid down to the ground.
At the end of the corridor is another partition wall, dividing the corridor into an independent space.
Since the north side of this building is entirely a newly completed campus, the zombies on the other side are not very dense, and the few zombies in the isolated classrooms have already been cleared out.
It can be said that there is no need to worry about zombie invasions here for the time being.
But Cheng Yuqiu felt even more insecure. Her former sisters looked down on her, and her suitors revealed their ugly faces. They were now even more terrifying than zombies.
As Nie Qingyun said, Qin Hehuan, this cold-blooded dictator, only cares about interests and has no feelings at all.
The girl, curled up against the wall, looked as pitiful as a wounded little animal, licking her wounds alone in a dark corner.
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and quickly pulled out a neatly folded piece of paper from her small handbag.
The above is a beautifully drawn pattern in pencil.
"Waaaaah... Nie Qingyun, where are you... You bastard, didn't you promise to come back and find me?!"
"You always say irresponsible things... I hate you the most..."
Chapter Nine: Roast Chicken! What exactly did you do to my corpse?!
"call!"
Nie Qingyun gasped for breath and suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had just woken up from a dream.
While still lying flat, he felt the weight on his calves and subconsciously looked over.
The moonlight was dim, and only a blurry figure could be seen. However, the person had long, flowing hair, and judging from their figure, they should be a woman.
Before Nie Qingyun could tell whether it was a dream or reality, the female figure suddenly moved.
He grabbed Nie Qingyun's underwear and started pulling it down.
"Holy crap, what an epic turn of events!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman suddenly bent down and took... no, she bit down on something indescribable.
It was precisely because of this that Nie Qingyun was able to see the other person's face clearly in the dim light.
His pale skin was lifeless, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, and his entire jaw was a bloody mess. In particular, the eyeball of his left eye was drooping out of its socket.
Upon seeing this, Nie Qingyun felt his blood freeze. He instinctively braced himself against the other man's chest and then kicked him away.
Only then did all the memories before he jumped gradually reassemble in his mind.
He remembered that when he jumped off the building, it wasn't completely dark yet, but now it was clearly night. The time it would take to be reborn was much longer than he had expected.
A night breeze blew by, and Nie Qingyun felt a chill on his body. Looking down, he realized he was wearing nothing but his underwear.
Looking up at the female zombie in front of him again, Nie Qingyun couldn't help but imagine many inappropriate scenes.
"You beast! What have you done to my corpse!"
……
Five minutes later, Nie Qingyun adjusted his boxer shorts:
"Average." (Referring to the zombies' combat capabilities)
Suppressing the churning in his stomach, Nie Qingyun picked up a fluorescent crystal from beside the corpse. It was the same one he had found in the teaching building. As soon as he held it in his hand, detailed information flashed through his mind.
[Primal Crystallization]
Quality: lv1
Description: Basic currency, used for equipment/item enhancement and for exchanging items at [Resource Drop Points].
[Save to data space/or not]
Data space?
Nie Qingyun subconsciously selected "Yes," and then the crystal he was holding suddenly disappeared, replaced by an icon for "Primordial Crystal" in the item section of his personal information panel.
Furthermore, the items within the [Data Space] can be conjured up in your hand at any time with a thought, which is extremely convenient.
After several attempts, Nie Qingyun also learned about a new function of the [Data System] based on the tips in the [Apocalypse Survival Manual].
That's authentication.
According to the manual, once humans activate the [Data System], everything they can touch and hold can be stored in the [System Space] through the [Authentication] function.
It perfectly solves the problem of carrying various items, but it seems that [Certification] requires [Primal Crystal].
So Nie Qingyun picked up the baseball bat he had casually picked up, tried to mobilize his mind, and then lines of detailed information appeared in his mind.
Baseball bat
Type: Blunt
Quality: F
Power: 15
Authentication cost: 20
Description: A very ordinary baseball bat. If you don't have a better option, just take it.
When Nie Qingyun saw the authentication consumption section, he suddenly felt an urge to vomit blood!
The number 20 refers to the quantity of [Primal Crystals].
According to information retrieved from the "Apocalypse Survival Handbook", items that can be certified are generally divided into nine levels from F to SSS, with most of the items that can be found easily belonging to the lowest level, F.
Only equipment with a quality rating of D or higher can truly be considered a powerful piece of equipment.
As for the EX rank, it is independent of the regular rank system, and the manual does not describe it in detail. It only says that it is very rare and represents a possibility.
These items or skills usually have a significant difference between their upper and lower limits. Sometimes they can have unimaginable effects, while other times they are completely useless.
Only now did Nie Qingyun truly realize how lucky he was; the [Data System] had just been activated and already came with two EX-level special items.
This can no longer be described as a mid-level general; it's like emptying the prize pool in one go.
After that, Nie Qingyun made several more attempts, from roadside pebbles to clothing, and even casually broken tree branches could be certified, each consuming about 20 [Primal Crystals].
It seems that 20 is the minimum cost for certified items.
Since Primal Crystals don't drop every time you kill a zombie, it means that even if you want to certify a useless "junk" item, you need to kill at least 20 zombies.
This is obviously difficult for ordinary people, but upon closer inspection, the price is justified.
You can retrieve items from the [Data Space] anytime, anywhere. It may not seem very useful to explain this in words, but in the apocalypse, you can't predict what situation you will face. Carrying more weapons means having an extra layer of protection.
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Nie Qingyun looked around. It seemed that the power supply system of Linjiangtai had not completely collapsed; at least the streetlights near the old school building were still on.
Behind them was a complex of several twenty-story teaching buildings. According to Qin Hehuan's previous plan, they were to go to the eighth floor and then take the sky bridge connecting the two buildings to the experimental building where the media experimental classroom was located.
The distance is neither long nor short, and whether you can arrive safely depends entirely on the number of zombies you encounter along the way.
Time was pressing for Nie Qingyun; he had to find a way to take control of the radio station before Qin Hehuan and the others arrived.
Only in this way can we take our destiny into our own hands and ensure that we have a spot in the first team when rescue arrives.
However, before that, he needs to improve his strength as soon as possible.
His fight with the female zombie just now was the first time he had killed a zombie head-on based on his own will.
Dealing with one is not difficult for him, but if two or three or more attack at the same time, then he can only run away.
Moreover, Nie Qingyun now has a deeper understanding of his rebirth ability, which, to some extent, does indeed match the description of EX-level items in the "Apocalypse Survival Manual".
You might say it's not strong, since it can save your life in any situation, but you might also say it's not entirely strong.
Nie Qingyun's first thought was that if his enemy possessed such an ability and was not particularly strong, he could capture him, put a rope around his neck, and hang him from a tree, thus trapping him in a cycle between life and death forever.
Thinking about it from a darker perspective, it could even be considered "food to feed the whole village".
What if this ability user happens to be a beautiful young woman in the prime of her life...
hiss!
I dare not think about anything reckless, I dare not think about anything reckless.
Looking back one last time at the brightly lit teaching building, Nie Qingyun couldn't help but recall the scene when he had just escaped from the classroom.
Through the horde of zombies, one could see Cheng Yuqiu's eyes, a mixture of light and shadow, and the longing and hope brewing within them, culminating in a pale smile that bloomed like a fleeting ephemera.
