Volume 3 Chapter 37 Visiting a foreign country
Shao Qing finally had her lucky break. Although they encountered a storm, fortunately, after the storm pa.s.sed, their boat was still safe and sound.
This was a great luck within a misfortune. Even Qin Zixi laughed at Shao Qing. Although her crow mouth was accurate, her character was still good.
At least they were still safe. After the last storm, they never encountered a second natural disaster or man-made disaster. But, everyone besides Qin Zixi and their group wanted to hack Shao Qing.
This was because life at sea was like this. Every day they would be forced to chew on dry food. In order to prevent scurvy, they would eat their own fruits. Each person would only dare to eat a little at a time because the quant.i.ty was not large.
Shao Qing’s life was very different from theirs. Every day they would discuss what they would eat and eat new dishes in a variety of ways. When they were pitifully eating dry food, they were eating seafood, barbecue, three different meats and a soup.
Besides being angered to death, what else can they say?
They couldn’t defeat her so they didn’t dare to scold her. Some that were more brazen attempted to approach to eat. However when they came close, Er Dai would stare at them with a big grin. That mouth, that look, how could it be so fierce and malevolent?
So they gave up honestly.
Wise people wanting to buy something from Shao Qing, after listening to the price, would honestly give up because they couldn’t afford it.
Some people secretly cursed Shao Qing behind her back, but when you think about it, the price was actually quite fair. After all, the prices of fresh vegetables were very high on land, including meat and seafood. Although seafood is very common at sea, fierce beasts were more common at sea.
There were few people who dared to go to the sea to find food, except Shao Qing.
Vegetables and meat, which are expensive on land, were definitely more expensive when they were at sea. After all, things that are more rare are more expensive. Besides, there are processing fees. Isn’t it necessary to pay for her cooking?
If you think carefully, it would be very expensive QAQ
So what can they do? They can’t forcefully buy it or steal it. If they can’t afford it, they could only watch.
But the point was that Shao Qing was too much. Couldn’t they hide their meals and go back to their room, so they don’t have to see it!
Even if you don’t want to eat in your room, can’t you avoid the narrow places? You can eat on the deck. Can you stop seducing them?
The scent of the dishes and people praising it deliberately, it was as if they were afraid that they would not know how delicious the dish was.
How shameless!
Therefore, everyone except Shao Qing’s gang was living in dire straits. Shao Qing’s life was like heaven.
This gap made people feel the urge to kill every minute.
While they were enduring, they finally arrived at country M. Tthe moment when they saw the sh.o.r.e, the group of people were cheering. The cheers were terribly loud and Shao Qing was dumbfounded.
Their days of drifting on the sea were not long. This group of people really couldn’t endure hardships, that’s not good ~
Not realizing that she had been abusing their spirits, Shao Qing shook her head, helpless. Young people nowadays were not as hard-working as her generation.
The boat was stopped on the sh.o.r.e and anch.o.r.ed to prevent the boat from drifting away. Then the group of talents formally landed on the sh.o.r.e.
As soon as they got ash.o.r.e, they noticed the difference between Country M and China. Country M was too desolate. In China, even on the coast, there were many survivor bases and lively crowds.
For example, Feng Lan’s base was built by the sea. For country M, the first thing they wanted to do after they landed was to quickly find a base, eat a big meal, and satisfy themselves after Shao Qing’s abuse.
As a result, after walking for a day and slowly penetrating into the territory of country M, apart from some building debris, they did not even see a person, let alone a survivor base.
Completely desolate, Shao Qing felt like the entire country M had fallen under the zombies’ claws, which was not a good thing.
“It’s getting dark. Let’s stay here for a while.” Qin Zixi looked at the sky and said.
Since they were in another’s territory, they had to be vigilant and careful. Otherwise, they would not know how they died. Let alone these people, even Shao Qing didn’t dare to run around at night in a strange foreign country unless she wanted to die.
So these poor people could only continue to accept Shao Qing’s spiritual abuse when they were so full of hope.
They rested for one night, and continued to move forward the next day. After two more days, they saw a living person for the first time.
The living person was a man and a woman, surrounded by zombies, it looked precarious. Shao Qing just pa.s.sed by and saw it.
Originally, they were not prepared to save people. After all, why would I go out of my way to help two foreigners?
Then Shao Qing suggested: “I think we should save them.”
“There are so many zombies and they are foreigners. Why do you want to save them? Just to be kind? Then you go save them.” One of the two civilian staff said bluntly.
Shao Qing ignored him and said: “We can’t just fly blindly like headless flies. If we are able to rescue the two of them, since they are natives, they should know the situation in their country better than we do. They might be able to show us the way.”
Everyone agreed as well. They hadn’t met anyone after two days of walking. If they were not saved, they could be like headless flies blindly charging to different areas and who knows how long it would take to find the survivor base.
With two locals leading the way, it would naturally be more convenient.
But some people were still stubborn: “With the effort required to save them, we may have found the survivor base already.”
“Then you can find it yourself.” Shao Qing said lazily, then she took Er Dai and took the lead to join the battle. Once Er Dai and her went over, Qin Lixi and Zhu Mochen followed.
Immediately after that, before she also joined the battle group, Wu Jiaojiao glanced at the civilian who spoke: “I haven’t seen someone who chirps more than a girl.”
The civilian stared blankly. His face wanted to scold and curse but he couldn’t.
When Shao Qing came down from the sky with Er Dai, she saw the man and the woman with a surprised expression screaming for help. Shao Qing hadn’t landed yet but her fingers took the lead and numerous vines arose first.
The vines acted as if they were alive and tightly wrapped the zombies. The two foreigners were not stupid. They quickly picked up their guns and began to shoot.
Because the zombies were trapped by the vines, they couldn’t move at all. This made it possible for them to do a headshot. Occasionally their hands would shake a little bit, but at least nine out of ten bullets landed.
The lethality of Er Dai was much higher than that of the two of them. Wherever he went it rained blood.
After Shao Qing landed on the ground, she called out Da Hua. Da Hua brought along his brother Xiao Hong and rushed into the zombies. Whenever they saw them, Xiao Hong immediately extended its tentacles out and constricted the zombies. Then it would throw them to Da Hua as filial piety.
After all, it is mainly based on blood-sucking for energy. Zombies were just a pile of garbage for it.
It might as well be used to please the big brother.
Da Hua expressed great satisfaction with Xiao Hong’s tactfulness. This little brother wasn’t taken in for nothing.
The two flowers quickly swept through. Since Da Hua had upgraded, it ate more and more. Moreover, one can see it eat, but it didn’t seem to grow.
Who knew where the food went.
By the time Qin Zixi came over, Da Hua had already started to clean the scene. There were some scattered arms and legs on the ground that it was not ready to let go. It was here just to fill it’s belly. It looked very cruel.
Shao Qing knew a little bit of Niao Yu*. She stepped forward to communicate with foreigners. The two foreigners took the lead in holding Shao Qing’s hand: “Oh G.o.d, we must have met an angel, an angel from the East. Thank you for saving us, otherwise we would have already been made into feces in the zombie’s stomach.”
* the language of M country
Shao Qing froze for a moment, then said: “You’re welcome…”
She didn’t ask anything yet and the foreigners were already showing their grat.i.tude and insisting Shao Qing to be a guest in their base.
As long as the goal had been achieved, it didn’t matter what the process was.
Shao Qing thought blankly, then she waved her hand. She brought her friends and the group of trailing people to follow the two foreigners. With the two foreigners, the male one was a chatterbox. The entire journey he spoke a lot. Shao Qing didn’t need to inquire about the intelligence at all, he sent it straight to her door.
First of all, Shao Qing knew the names of the two of them, but it was too complicated to remember. This was not the key though. She can call these two people temporarily as man A and woman B.
The situation in country M was worse than what they thought. Three months ago, an expedition found a giant worm nest in the forest similar to a hive, but much larger than a hive. The M country’s people had an adventurous natural tendency. Thus, they couldn’t go in and explore.
But the fact was that they provoked the devil.
The worm’s nest looks very old outside. After they got in, they immediately smelled a faint smell. The light was getting darker and darker, the smell was getting stronger and stronger, and there was a clicking sound under their feet.
Someone turned on the flashlight and took a photo towards the ground. There they found that the ground was covered with white bones, some belonged to animals, while some belonged to humans.
At this time some were a little scared, but they still had the courage to go deeper and deeper, while the smell became stronger.
Then they found a huge reddish black pool in the middle of the nest with a large coc.o.o.n in the pool.
They thought they had found the baby and when they were cheering ready to step forward and drag the big coc.o.o.n back, as soon as they approached, the big coc.o.o.n broke and hairy worm legs protruded from the coc.o.o.n.
The last one that crawled out was a giant queen bee. The three stunned people regained their alertness and wanted to run but it was too late.
Two of them were quickly pierced by the queen bee. The other one was rather quick and escaped. When he glanced back in a hurry, he found that the queen had put the needle into one of the people’s bodies and round eggs were continuously discharged into that person’s body. Within a few moments, there were young poisonous bees, which came out from under the person’s skin.
He felt his blood run cold and he quickened his pace.
After he left, he told this story to others, but few believed it. Who knew that this was just the beginning.
Soon after, black beetles, poisonous bees that liked to eat people, and marching ants crawled out of the forest.
They were much more terrifying than zombies. When they pa.s.sed through, let alone survivors, not even any living creatures remained.
Only a piece of scorched earth and debris.
Country M immediately organized manpower to start their resistance. They found that the poisonous bee and marching ants were afraid of fire. This should be the nature of insects, but the black bugs were not afraid of anything. They could even swallow abilities and their outer sh.e.l.ls were extremely hard. They would run along the wall to sneak into the city to eat each individual into an empty sh.e.l.l or a pile of bones.
Moreover, poisonous bees and marching ants’ fear of fire was limited. In a short period of time, the survivors of M country have dwindled a significant amount because of these three insects.
Especially this season, it was precisely the sp.a.w.ning period of the poisonous bees. Who knew how many people were parasitized. All the eggs in the body were poisonous bees and they would be eaten by the small poisonous bees that came out of the sh.e.l.l.
The Research Inst.i.tute of Country M has also been doing research day and night. They tried to find out the weaknesses of these insects, what their natural enemies were and invent things to fight against them.
But the fact was that humans were losing ground.
At least so far, that gadget has not been invented.
