Chapter 364
He happily picked up an egg by the edge of the water.
“This egg seems even bigger than the one Ling Jing found before!”
He was quite excited.
Previously, when Ling Jing found an egg, it hatched into an incredibly strong little white snake.
The one he found now was even larger. Could it contain something even more powerful than that little white snake?
He was overjoyed, already imagining the little creature inside wreaking havoc the moment it hatched.
He treated the egg like a precious treasure, carefully cleaned its surface, and cradled it in his arms.
“I’ve decided, this egg is mine.”
Ling Jing laughed and questioned, “Are you sure you don’t want to look around anymore? What if the little creature inside isn’t very strong?”
He was basically repeating the same words Nie Yizhou had told him earlier.@@novelbin@@
Nie Yizhou shook his head firmly. “Since it’s a future partner, I believe in it. I’m sure it’s incredibly strong!”
Maybe it would emerge as a king from the very beginning.
He thought to himself, his mood turning exceptionally bright.
Since Nie Yizhou was so insistent on keeping the egg, the group decided to stop searching and return to the base.
They had been out for quite some time, so it was about time to head back.
However, even after their return, Nie Yizhou’s egg still hadn’t hatched, but he cherished it dearly, never letting it out of his arms.
Two helicopters landed on the helipad of Cloud City.
Seeing the long-missed base, Yun Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow.
Finally, they were back.
As they alighted from the helicopters and headed toward the main entrance, they spotted a rusted snowmobile approaching from a distance.
None of them recognized the vehicle, clearly not belonging to anyone from the base.
“Little Chief, you’re back!”
Today happened to be Tan Meier and Liu Tao’s turn to be on duty.
Seeing Yun Xiaoxiao and the others, they were overjoyed.
“Yes, long time no see,” Yun Xiaoxiao replied with a sweet smile.
At that moment, the snowmobile arrived.
There were five people on the vehicle.
They were dressed in tattered clothes, their hair messy, and their faces dirty, making it hard to discern their true appearance.
“It’s you!”
Suddenly, one of them exclaimed as they got off the snowmobile.
Seeing Yun Xiaoxiao and the others’ puzzled expressions, the person quickly explained.
“In Rong City, you visited our school and saved us.”
Wu Yaping stared excitedly at Yun Xiaoxiao and the others.
When they mentioned the school, except for Ling Jing and Qu Xiaobei, Yun Xiaoxiao and Lu Chen immediately remembered.
Previously, during their time in Rong City, they had indeed gone to a middle school.
At the time, a teacher and a group of students had been trapped inside.
After clearing out the school of zombies, they had indirectly saved those people.
It turned out that these individuals were the survivors from that school.
However, if memory served correctly, there had been about a dozen of them back then.
Now there were only five.
It seemed the rest had met with a grim fate.
“Why are you here? And in such a state,” Yun Xiaoxiao asked.
During their assault on Rong City, they didn’t see them.
Which meant they must have already escaped from the city.
Wu Yaping helplessly revealed a look of sorrow.
“You once told us that only by becoming strong could we survive in this apocalypse.
The methods you taught us, we’ve always kept in mind and diligently practiced.
We used the school as a base, trying to gather supplies from the surrounding areas.
We also exercised daily and honed our skills for killing zombies.
But one day, a large swarm of zombies suddenly stormed the school.
We had no choice but to hastily evacuate.
As we dodged the zombies, we tried to make our way out of the city.
During this process, we lost several students…”
As she spoke, Wu Yaping’s eyes reddened.
The other four students behind her also lowered their heads.
It seemed they were recalling the tragic moments when their companions died, all of them remaining silent with heavy expressions.
“In the end, we managed to escape the city and found a farmhouse in the outskirts.
There was a vegetable patch next to the house, and we lived off those vegetables and the remaining food in the house.
Of course, we also ventured out to look for food and supplies.
Thus, we lived there for several months.
But later, the weather turned cold, and two students contracted a severe illness.
The medicines we gathered were ineffective.
To save them, we had to set out to find a doctor.
So, we packed up everything we had and left that relatively safe environment.
Next, we arrived at a place.
After explaining our situation, they claimed they had a doctor who could definitely cure my students’ illnesses.
We believed them and stayed.
But it turned out… those people were just heartless scammers!
Not only did they not have any doctors, but they also imprisoned us, confiscated all our food and supplies, and even… buried the two sick students alive!”
Wu Yaping choked up, her voice filled with anger.
“To survive, I used a ruse to sow discord between two of the guards, creating an opening for us to escape.
With that chance, we stole one of their snowmobiles, and along with four of the others, fled.
Fearing they would catch up, we just kept driving, driving, not knowing where we were going.
It wasn’t until just now, seeing the towering walls of this place, that we decided to come here.
Originally, we were still uneasy, afraid this might turn out to be another hellhole.
But we had no food, no water, and had gone days without eating, cold and hungry, so we had no choice but to take a gamble.”
To their surprise, they encountered the very people who had once saved them.
At this moment, Wu Yaping’s previously anxious heart gradually calmed down.
“Boom~”
“They’re over there!”
Suddenly, the sound of an engine revving and several men’s shouts came from a distance.
“Oh no, it’s them! They’ve caught up!”
Wu Yaping and the others immediately tensed up.
They wanted nothing more than to get back on the snowmobile and flee, not wanting to cause trouble for Yun Xiaoxiao and the others.
Understanding their intentions, Yun Xiaoxiao pursed her lips.
From following her advice and relying on their own efforts to survive this long, it was clear that they had developed strong resilience and abilities, far beyond the average person.
And after so much time had passed, they still managed to reunite—clearly, it was fate.
She naturally wouldn’t stand idly by, letting them die.
She stepped in front of them.
“You don’t want revenge?”
The group exchanged glances.
Of course, they wanted revenge.
But…
How could they possibly be a match for those people?
“I have some guns here that I can lend you. If you manage to kill those men, you can stay in this base.”
She had already quickly assessed the situation.
Those chasing after them were truly despicable scum—their deaths wouldn’t be enough to atone for their crimes.
What do you think?
