Chapter 37. (1/2)

Bai Qing Qing saw the strange pimples on Yang Li’s face, resembling plant spores, and felt a chill run down her spine.

-That woman’s mutated form.

“Get out of the way! Or you’ll be shot too!”

Soldiers would never allow infected individuals who posed a threat to humanity to enter the base, even if that person was currently human, they could turn into a monster at any moment.

After the mutated species outbreak in Wucheng, within just a few days, a safe zone became a monster’s paradise, littered with human corpses and limbs, rotting zombies destroying everything.

Mutated species are more terrifying than ordinary zombies. Ordinary zombies only bite humans aimlessly, while mutated species possess superpowers and a bloodthirsty instinct; their burst of attack power is difficult even for superhumans of the same level to deal with.

Moreover, mutated species can infect their companions during the incubation period, leading to an uncontrollable outbreak.

The human survivors were right before them. Zhou Hang and his girlfriend had endured countless hardships to reach this place full of hope, only to be turned away.

Six months of expectation were shattered in an instant, and despair and sorrow engulfed them.

He had to get in! They were human, not infected, not monsters; they were fellow humans, they wanted to go home!

Soldiers in military combat protective suits surrounded them, guns raised, the dark muzzles pointed at Yang Li’s head.

Zhou Hang shielded his girlfriend behind him, his sorrow turning to hatred, and roared, “I said, she’s not infected! Look carefully!”

No one believed him, nor dared to believe him.

Wang Feifei and her boyfriend, a long-haired man, looked frightened, moving away from Zhou Hang and Yang Li, their hearts filled with panic and resentment, praying they hadn’t been infected.

Bai Qing Qing was pushed back by the crowd. The couple, whose faces had shone with hope yesterday, now faced death. The post-apocalyptic environment was indeed cold and cruel. The soldiers trusted only the testing equipment, no amount of explanation from Zhou Hang could change their minds.

“Get out of the way! I’ll give you three seconds. If you don’t move, we’ll all be dealt with!”

Bai Qing Qing gripped Cheng Rui’s hand tightly, a pang of sorrow welling in her eyes—for the couple, and for the survival of humanity.

Cheng Rui glanced down at her, then pulled her close, offering silent comfort.

Yang Li’s eyes were empty and filled with despair. Facing the surrounding gun barrels, her heart ached with suffocation.

“Don’t kill him!” she pleaded, tears streaming down her face. “Only I’m infected. Execute me alone, please.”

Zhou Hang, his eyes red, turned back to her and said, “Don’t talk nonsense! I said I would bring you into the base!”

He had promised her that no matter how the world changed, he would give her a future, a home.

Some in the crowd sighed, some complained that he was acting on emotion and would harm everyone, urging the soldiers to quickly deal with the infected and those who disobeyed orders. “Zhou Hang, I…I…” Yang Li trembled violently, letting out a strange growl, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Zhou Hang noticed Yang Li’s unusual change and anxiously supported her, asking, “Lili, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Bai Qing Qing said softly, her emotions complicated, “She’s starting to mutate.”

Cheng Rui was no stranger to mutants; he watched indifferently. The city gate guards were all of high rank, and dealing with a second-tier mutant would be easy.

The soldiers immediately opened fire on Yang Li. Zhou Hang instantly used his sand-type ability to block the bullets, protecting himself and Yang Li.

“Scatter!” a soldier ordered the people in line.

Bai Qing Qing and Cheng Rui moved with the crowd to the edge of the iron cage passage. The soldiers kept firing at Zhou Hang and Yang Li, but the bullets were all blocked and couldn’t penetrate.

“Ugh!” Zhou Hang suddenly clutched his neck and cried out in pain.

The sand wall lay scattered on the ground, revealing a horrifying scene. Yang Li’s eyes were pale and bluish-white, her face a terrifying purplish-blue. Her limbs were tightly wrapped around Zhou Hang, and she bit his neck from behind like a wild beast.

Zhou Hang didn’t instinctively resist. Instead, he stroked her head, a look of despair and sorrow on his face.

Soldiers surrounded them, intending to strangle them. Zhou Hang roared, carrying the most important woman in his life on his back, and rushed off in one direction.

Bai Qing Qing’s heart pounded violently as she stared intently in that direction, her mind a jumble of unspoken thoughts.

“Ahhhhhh!” people screamed in terror.

The commander barked, “Quick! Don’t let them escape! Chase after them!”

No one had expected that Zhou Hang, who had desperately hoped to enter the base, would choose to flee for his life with his future wife while being torn apart by her.

Staying behind meant not being able to enter the survivor base, escaping meant becoming a mutant.

Ultimately, death or survival became their own kind—that was the outcome they chose.

This happened almost daily at the base’s checkpoint. Those queuing to enter panicked, while the checkpoint staff were numb, urging people to undergo checks again.

Before parting with Bai Qing Qing, Cheng Rui instructed, “Wait for me at the entrance after you go in.”

He still remembered Bai Tian Tian running around and being sold into an auction house.

Bai Qing Qing nodded, “I know.”

The check was quick, completed in half an hour, and the two entered the base near nightfall.

Upon entering the Yaoyang Base, regardless of their status, everyone had to live in the quarantine zone for two days before being allowed to move elsewhere. Ordinary people and those with superpowers remained separated.

Those with superpowers could be used by the base, usually hunting zombies and scavenging for supplies. Their living quarters were better than those of ordinary people.

Bai Qing Qing and Cheng Rui were assigned a good room, which they moved into that night.
