Chapter 219: The Sword-Blocking Beauty in the End Times (18)
"I...I don't want you to die..." Gu Zhen spoke intermittently, but she came to her senses in just a few seconds.
Just now, Qi Qingyuan actually controlled my mind!
Qi Qingyuan's face turned pale, but what he had thought in his heart had been confirmed. The supernatural power he awakened should be of the psychic type, which not only deeply developed his brain, but also could bewitch people's hearts.
"Professor Qi! I'm saving you out of kindness! How could you use this method on me?" Gu Zhen's face was tense and she looked uneasy. It was a good thing that her ability was not strong after she had just awakened, otherwise whatever she had in her heart would have been taken away.
Qi Qingyuan smiled innocently, "I'm sorry, I was just trying out my powers, and I stopped before Miss Gu finished talking. I'm sorry, I promise I won't do it again."
Gu Zhen was angry and turned her back to ignore him. Qi Qingyuan smiled behind her.
She just said that she didn't want him to die, but Qi Qingyuan didn't remember that he had known Gu Zhen before, so where did this feeling of reluctance come from?
The two sat in silence until it was time to eat, and then Gu Zhen stood up and said, "I'll make something to eat. You need to replenish your nutrition."
Qi Qingyuan was also with her. There was no place to cook in the laboratory, so three meals a day were delivered to them, but fortunately there was electricity.
Gu Zhen rummaged through the space and took out a small pot and a portable gas stove. She had rice, vegetables, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, so she could live here for a year without any problems.
But they must recover as soon as possible and get back on the road, because there are two people waiting for her to shark!
They simply cooked a meal and stewed a pot of vegetables, and Gu Zhen and Qi Qingyuan ate everything up on the spot.
"Boiled eggs, here you go!" Gu Zhen handed over the eggs, "One a day!"
Qi Qingyuan actually didn't like eating eggs, but he still took it and ate it in small bites. He felt that in Gu Zhen's eyes, he was like a fragile vase that needed to be carefully protected.
"Professor Qi, do you have the confidence to save this apocalypse?"
Qi Qingyuan finished eating the eggs and wiped the corners of his mouth elegantly. "Humanity is in trouble. We need everyone to work together to overcome the difficulties. What can a few researchers do?"
"Maybe a year, maybe ten years, maybe decades. In short, we will not give up, and the end of the world will eventually end." Qi Qingyuan said lightly. He had been locked up here for a long time and knew almost nothing about the outside world.
Apart from studying a few zombies every day, he has no access to any information.
Gu Zhen didn't ask any more questions.
The two of them settled down temporarily in the laboratory. Apart from practicing each other's abilities every day, they ate and slept. Gu Zhen and Qi Qingyuan gradually became familiar with each other.
Qi Qingyuan is indeed a genius researcher. He knows everything about astronomy and geography, is knowledgeable and talkative, and Gu Zhen never feels bored.
After resting for about half a month, Qi Qingyuan felt much better, and Gu Zhen decided to leave here early.
It's really tormenting not to see the sun all day.
Gu Zhen walked around the secret passage and used the space to clear a path. She did not find the two female assistants, but did find the bodies of Long Yuan and Ling Ling.
Two people were killed by stoning.
Gu Zhen was finally relieved. Since the female assistant was not in the laboratory or the secret passage, there must be a way out.
After discussing with Qi Qingyuan, the two of them searched the room carefully.
Qi Qingyuan was familiar with this place after all, and he found a hidden door behind a shelf where equipment was placed.
Gu Zhen came here twice to look for it, but he didn't find any. There was an open door on this wall, which was almost seamlessly integrated with the wall.
Qi Qingyuan fumbled for a while, not knowing how he did it, the door made a click and slowly opened inwards.
"Let's go, this should be the only way."
Gu Zhen nodded and followed, then realized that she must have been tricked by the two female assistants. They probably didn't know the way out, but just didn't want to tell her.
There was a narrow passage behind the door. After Gu Zhen went in, the door closed quickly. When he tried to open it again, it would not move anymore.
The two of them climbed in, and a dark and damp smell hit them in the face. They must be connected to a sewer or something like that. After climbing for about 20 minutes, the road turned, and Qi Qingyuan stopped and whispered, "There's something ahead."
Gu Zhen motioned Qi Qingyuan to move aside, crawled over to him, shone the flashlight, and was immediately horrified: "There are zombies in here, be careful!"
Aren’t the two people lying in front the two female assistants? They were obviously bitten to death by zombies, their heads were chewed to pieces, and only the clothes on their bodies could be identified.
Gu Zhen turned carefully and the road ahead opened up. This should be the underground sewer of Tianjin City. It was dirty and smelly, and the stench of decay was nauseating.
After looking around and not seeing any zombies, Gu Zhen pointed to the ladder on the wall next to him and said, "There's a manhole cover above. Climb up."
Qi Qingyuan didn't hesitate. He wasn't as skilled as Gu Zhen, so it was a wise choice for him to go up first.
When he was almost reaching the manhole cover, Gu Zhen also jumped hard and climbed up the ladder. Before she put her feet on it, she heard a series of footsteps in water behind her.
Gu Zhen quickly turned around to look and saw several zombies pushing and shoving their way out of a passage. There were many openings in this passage and no one knew how these zombies got in or where they were hiding.
"Go up quickly!" Gu Zhen shouted.
Qi Qingyuan climbed to the manhole cover, used all his strength, gritted his teeth and pushed the manhole cover open. He flipped out and reached his hand in: "I'll pull you up!"
Gu Zhen was using his special powers to attack the zombies, but perhaps because they had been in the sewer for too long, they were struggling to climb the ladder.
She didn't care anymore and climbed up, throwing some super powers down from time to time. Several zombies were tripped by the branches and their speed slowed down a lot.
Gu Zhen grabbed Qi Qingyuan's hand and used his strength to climb up. When she got out of the manhole cover, she found that this place was not far from Long Yuan's villa, which had become a ruin.
There were hundreds of zombies wandering around, and they smelled their scent and moved towards them frantically.
"The Light Base has lost order, and those psychics who are tortured by drug addiction have now become food for the zombies." Qi Qingyuan sighed, looking at the group of zombies feasting not far away.
Gu Zhen released the motorcycle. It was not advisable to stay here for long. It would be better to go to Beijing as soon as possible.
Qi Qingyuan sat behind her. Gu Zhen tied them both tightly with vines, started the motorcycle, and passed by several zombies.
There were a few fast-moving zombies that were about to catch them, but Qi Qingyuan's eyes became stern and shone with a brilliant light. The zombies' movements immediately became slow and they stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
Others were controlled and turned around to bite their companions. Qi Qingyuan's supernatural powers were not strong now, so he didn't dare to consume too much mental energy, but he came to help out of nowhere and made the situation of the two of them less dangerous.
The psychic ability can indeed control the zombie group. Gu Zhen was a little scared. Fortunately, Qi Qingyuan did not become the zombie king.
It’s better to keep his brain for scientific research!
