Chapter 5: Facing the Cruelties of the Apocalypse

Xu Ying instantly woke up and scrambled to her feet. She was a little scared because the noise was a little loud.

[Peach Blossom Land is under zombie attack. Electric fence protection has been activated.]

Xu Ying leaned on the surveillance camera at the door and saw seven or eight strong men with injuries. There were also two people who were unconscious and covered in blood. The rain scattered the blood on the ground, making everything in front of her look shocking.

Xu Ying was shocked, but when she saw their neat attire, she quickly opened the door. They were the Wasteland Reclaimers! It was probably because they were injured in a dangerous mission, and it was too late to return to the base, so they could only get close to Peach Blossom Land.

Xu Ying respected them very much. If the Wasteland Reclaimers were not there to clear the zombies and collect supplies, the survival of the base would only be worse. "Come in quickly!" She shouted.

The group of people did not have time to think and rushed in. The blood mixed with the rain made a mess in Xu Ying's living room. After entering, a man with healing ability began to treat the most seriously injured person. His palm that was emitting a green light brushed across the hideous wound to stop the bleeding and heal the wound. However, the patient was too seriously injured. His stomach had been emptied by zombies. After all, superpower users were humans, not gods. There were limited things they could do ...

This was the first time Xu Ying had seen someone die right in front of her…She froze on the spot and forgot to scream. The blood in her body flowed backward. This was the first time she faced the danger of zombies in the apocalypse! Although her past days had been miserable, she had never left the Vermilion Bird Base. The worst things she had seen were all kinds of twisted human nature…

The healer pounded the ground hard and laid on the corpse of his teammate, crying silently.

Everyone was silent for half a minute. The man in the lead, wearing a black military uniform, wiped the rain and blood off his face and said to Xu Ying, "I am Wei Qiyan, the captain of the Seventh Team of the Wasteland Reclaimers Elite Team. Today, we encountered two high-level zombies on a mission and seriously injured my vice-captain. Also ... this teammate of mine. If it wasn't for the electric fence outside helping us hold back the zombies when we retreated, we would have all died." Then, he suddenly stood still and gave Xu Ying a standard military salute to express his most sincere gratitude.

Xu Ying was overwhelmed and didn't know what to do. This was the first time she had encountered something like this, or rather, the first time she had received someone's gratitude. In the end, he could only say dryly, "I ... My name is Xu Ying."

"And then ... I'm sorry that someone died in your house and dirtied the floor. But don't worry, we'll take care of it. Sorry for the trouble." As Wei Qiyan spoke, his eyes turned sour for a moment, but he quickly regained his usual calmness and iron will.

Only then did Xu Ying recover a little and quickly said, "I'm fine! You guys can rest here for the night." As she spoke, she left the empty living room for Wei Qiyan and the others, and returned to her room.

However, she didn't sleep well that night. She even had the nightmare of zombies breaking through the Peach Blossom Land's electric fence. When she woke up the next day, she was covered in cold sweat. Only then did she realize that she had been locked up at home for too long. She only had eyes for the world and was far from aware of the dangers outside.

When she came out, she found that Wei Qiyan and the others had already cleaned up the bloody living room, and the bodies of their dead teammates had been put into the body bags they carried.

"Are you leaving?" Xu Ying asked.

Wei Qiyan was reloading his gun when he heard this and said, "Yes, go back and take revenge."

He spoke calmly, but Xu Ying could hear the hatred in his tone. After washing away the blood from yesterday's face, she could see his face clearly. His skin was a little rough after surviving in the wild for a long time. However, in the post-apocalyptic world, not many people had good skin. His facial features were standard red phoenix eyes and a delicate nose bridge. There was a scar on his left eyebrow, like a knife that had cut off the peak of his eyebrow, making him look a little fierce. He had a very contradictory temperament…

Xu Ying felt that he was no older than thirty.

"Oh right, I saw that you guys seem to be running an inn when I went out just now?" Wei Qiyan asked.

Xu Ying nodded. " I guess so. I currently have a room for rent. It's a daily rental. "

"Your parents opened it? Who are your parents?" Wei Qiyan asked directly. It was too chaotic last night, so he didn't have time to think too much. However, to be able to open a hostel in such a large safe zone, it must be some unknown big shot. However, from last night until now, he had only seen this little girl who seemed to be underage.
