Volume 3 Chapter 16 Extreme Sorrow turns to joy
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
As if something had been exposed, Shao Qing bowed her head silently and looked at the two bodies. Er Dai and Yan Qiyue had already come over and buried them both.
The one-stop service for killing and burying, it can hardly be better.
Shao Qing tried hard to make herself look kinder: “I could never accept something like cannibalism. The two of them are stubborn. Unless I am forced to give up on discussion and need to use strength, I am usually gentle. “
Only a fool would believe that? However, Gao Xiang and the three of them originally disliked these two islanders. After seeing some things, they had just chosen not to watch or participate.
As for the murder by Shao Qing, in fact, all three of them were secretly applauding and praising her. They just had not expected that Shao Qing would be so shameless.
With her eyes open and saying she was blind, she even spoke it in an earnest manner.
In the end, their lunch consisted of wild vegetable soup with bacon saved by Shao Qing and some dried food pancakes since they were too lazy to go hunting again.
The two women were frightened. Afraid of being eaten and very grateful to Shao Qing, they helped to clean things up with great speed.
At first, they did not dare go to the table to eat. They only watched from the side and looked very pitiful.
Shao Qing called for them and seeing that they were still afraid to come, she set up a small table for them. She scooped up some soup and let them eat on the side.
With these two girls, they were responsible for the logistics. This included washing dishes after meals, cleaning up the kitchen utensils and the like.
In the evening, they camped outside. When Shao Qing took out the tent and went to find something in the space again, the two girls had already propped up the tent.
The fast-moving Shao Qing was a little dumbfounded. She was just flipping through things and when she looked up, the tent was already standing in front of her.
In the evening, the two girls were also very obedient, doing this and that, tidying up everything.
They were probably afraid that they would be abandoned, so it would be more useful to show off their good sides.
Early the next morning, they arrived at the place they wanted to go to, an occupied island town. This town used to be a relatively prosperous town, where many people lived. Thus, after the end of the world, there were more zombies.
It was even rumoured that someone has seen a zombie king here. Shao Qing wanted to just prepare some high-level zombie crystal nuclei to supply Er Dai. So she actually hoped to meet a zombie king.
Shao Qing didn’t regret it until she entered the town. She had seen sporadic zombies before. But, she didn’t see much, thus she didn’t feel this way. But now that she went to a place with a lot of zombies, the rows of zombies made her feel nauseous.
Not knowing whether it’s because of the radiation or not, the zombies here in the island country were particularly ugly. They were much more ugly than the ones from China. Many zombies had big poxes on them, all of them were transparent and filled with water as if it were ready to pop.
This could kill people with intensive phobia.
Moreover, the zombies here had a high degree of decay. The skin surface, besides the rotten meat were poxes, pustules and the like.
It looked particularly disgusting, many times worse than zombies in China.
Is this the legendary, “where there are disgusting people, it must be a disgusting place”? Has this country reached the point where zombies were more disgusting than zombies in other places?
Anyway, Shao Qing was disgusted and it was not light.
If it wasn’t for the fact that she couldn’t go back empty-handed, she really wanted to go back.
“Then let’s start. Everyone don’t disperse, stay close. It is easier to take care of each other that way.” Gao Xiang mainly told Shao Qing that as a “newcomer”. After all, this town was more dangerous than usual. Gao Xiang had a very good impression of this fellow mainlander, Shao Qing, so he didn’t want anything to happen to her.
Shao Qing nodded and they officially entered the town. The zombies of the island country were not only uglier than the ones in China, but also more fierce than them. As soon as they entered the town, they were immediately besieged.
Smelling the humans, zombies rushed over instantly in groups. Gao Xiang has formed this squad for a long time, so the tacit understanding was naturally high and they immediately responded. They turned on their superpowers and stood back to back to prevent the encirclement of zombies.
Shao Qing stood beside Gao Xiang and the others. When the zombies flew, Shao Qing quickly took out the Guang Guang she had just received.
Guang Guang grew out in the middle of them. The canopy was lush and the branches slowly hung down, forming the shape of an umbrella cover, protecting everyone in the middle.
Anyone who was shrouded in a canopy immediately felt that they were full of energy, with unstoppable strength. At the same time, countless vines had drilled out and started strangling the zombies nearby.
Er Dai was injured so he could only be aggrieved to become a logistics person, specializing in picking up crystal nuclei.
As soon as a zombie was killed, he quickly stepped forward and dug out the crystal nuclei. He was very active on the battlefield.
Gao Xiang was a little bit stunned. They were all ready for the preparations. When they saw the zombies coming, they were also ready to shoot. Then Shao Qing and Yan Qiyue showed them a perfect combination.
One was responsible for trapping zombies and one was responsible for killing. They were so dazzling and so fast that no zombies could get close to the protective circle of light.
They came out to hunt zombies, not to just do nothing!
But …there was no need for them at all. Shao Qing and Yan Qiyue had already solved it.
They didn’t even need to clean the battlefield, because there was Er Dai who was like the wind.
So …… they just led the way?
The trio responsible for leading the road hesitated for a while. The first wave of zombies had been completely wiped out and Er Dai came back with a bunch of crystal nuclei.
Shao Qing counted half of them and handed it to Gao Xiang. Gao Xiang waved his hands repeatedly: “You were the only ones who did anything, you don’t need to share it with us.”
Shao Qing was also very honest: “We said it very clearly before leaving. No matter how much, all are to be allocated according to the number of people. Unless you were planning on not sharing the crystals you get in the future?”
“No … ” Gao Xiang was preparing to explain, but Shao Qing had already handed the crystal nucleus over: “Okay perfect, let’s move on.”
So for the next three hours, Gao Xiang felt that they had hit the biggest bottle of soy sauce in the world*.
* basically saying they minded their own business entire time
They didn’t do anything except follow Shao Qing’s footsteps throughout the journey. To be precise, they weren’t able to do anything.
Because as soon as they met the zombies, Shao Qing and Yan Qiyue took the lead. There was basically no chance for them to strike and the zombies were all cleaned up …
Even when they encountered several rank 4 zombies, they weren’t able to do anything.
When the zombie jumped out, Li Yangyang exclaimed: “Rank 4 zombies! Everyone be…” His heart hadn’t even finished beating before overwhelming vines had flown out, easily trapping the zombie. When Yan Qiyue lifted his hand, several rank 4 zombies had turned into patties.
Er Dai then stepped forward and dug out the crystal nuclei.
Li Yangyang: = 口 =
He suddenly did not believe what Shao Qing told him at the time, she was only rank four? How is it possible!? Can a rank 4 superhuman kill a rank 4 zombie in seconds? More than one!
Shao Qing was at least rank five! At least!
The three people who were still a little worried at the end could only continue from the beginning to the end with a dumb face, they could not intervene at all.
So when they swept around and returned to the town and Shao Qing wanted to give them crystal nuclei, they refused to take it.
Without using any effort and still wanting to split half of the crystal cores of others, is this a thing done by humans? Shao Qing felt that since they had agreed before they should follow it. Gao Xiang and the group felt that they had not contributed, so they refused to take it. In the end, both sides took a step back. Gao Xiang and them took a small portion, probably equal to ‘leading the way’’.
In Shao Qing’s words: “without you leading the way, we would not have been able to find the place, let alone killing zombies, so you must get some.”
Gao Xiang immediately had a feeling that the three of them had formally changed into tour guides instead of being a superhuman squad.
With the crystal nucleus in hand, it was time they should go back. The harvest of this trip was not much for Gao Xiang, but also not a little.
After all, they did not take any risks and they got a lot of crystal nuclei. It was already very profitable.
These crystal nuclei would be enough to last them for a long time. Gao Xiang and the others felt very grateful for this. Shao Qing also gave the two sisters to them: “The two in my family will get jealous. Even when I leave a little they become unwilling, so you take these two people back. You can decide the arrangements.”
She happily dumped this burden to Gao Xiang.
Then she returned. Don’t forget, when she left, she cooked two meals. It was the next day and Shao Qing was a little worried.
The speed of when they returned was faster than when they left. Shao Qing took her little friends and ran all the way back. After reaching the survivor base, she temporarily separated from Gao Xiang.
When Shao Qing went back, she realized that she over-thought things. The two living at the house were very comfortable, after all, she had left a lot of vegetables and fruits, as well as crystal nuclei.
Whether they were cooking it for themselves or going out to buy, it was enough.
They wouldn’t be hungry at all. With the crystal nucleus and dealing with some matters, Shao Qing was ready to go to Mt. Fuji.
The wound on Er Dai’s body was like a time bomb. Who knows when it will explode, it’s better to fix it first.
Other things can wait until Er Dai’s wound is cured. Moreover, going to Mt. Fuji this time, after finding the item, they still need to do some research on how to cure it. Once Er Dai was completely healed, a duration of time would have passed.
This period of time would be enough for Shao Qing to do a lot of things.
Shao Qing saw a lot in Fukiage survivor base. If the island country has become like this, then what about other places?
It must be even more chaotic.
Shao Qing didn’t think she was a savior, she was just a person possessing some abilities and should do things within her power.
After all, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility.
This responsibility was not forced, it was entirely voluntary. If you do not want to do it, no one will force you. You just have to look at your conscience.
Before leaving, Shao Qing had a separate talk with Shiramizu Mochizuki. This time, Shiramizu Mochizuki didn’t do any nonsense and had a very serious conversation with Shao Qing.
Shao Qing expressed only two things from beginning to end. First, she also felt that the island country was too chaotic. There really needed a change in power to remediate things, but she was just an ordinary superhuman and could not help Shiramizu Mochizuki.
Second, she has urgent things to do, so she hopes that Shiramizu Mochizuki will not rely too much on her.
Shiramizu Mochizuki also spoke to Shao Qing seriously. His plans, his backers, and what he would do if he can succeed and how he would change the country.
He knew how to speak and his description moved Shao Qing. If he can really do what he said, then it might be possible to help him.
In the past, Shao Qing didn’t believe in merits or retribution. After all, she had killed many people. Regardless of whether they were bad people or not, they were all human lives and it should be detrimental to merit.
But after having children and having Er Dai and the group, Shao Qing began to believe a lot of things that she wouldn’t have believed in before. This can be considered accumulating a little blessing for her family and friends.
Shiramizu Mochizuki did not leave when she left. Shao Qing rented the house for a month and let him stay there. Then she took her little friends to Mount Fuji.
When they get back, Shiramizu Mochizuki will probably contact his people. After passing through the survivor base, Mount Fuji was not far.
When they reached the bottom of Mount Fuji, it was the season of cherry blossoms. The mountains and the wild were full of cherry blossom trees, which looked very beautiful and romantic.
Because of the anxiety in her heart in regards to Er Dai’s matter, Shao Qing didn’t have much thoughts when she saw the cherry blossoms. She took her little group and ran all the way up the mountain.
Mount Fuji was an active volcano, but it has not erupted for many years. Except for volcanic ash on the top of the mountain, there was only dried magma.
At the top was a magma pool, but there were only some dry stones remaining.
Shao Qing looked around and didn’t see any green plants. She was a little anxious: “Where are the things needed for Er Dai?”
Yan Qiyue also frowned: “According to research, there should be some special vegetation near the crater. Even if the plants have mutated after the apocalypse, it is impossible for them to all run off with legs.”
He lifted his feet and kicked the stone on one side, then directly went down to the dried magma pool. The last eruption of Mount Fuji was many years ago. The magma here has dried up ages ago.
Yan Qiyue looked around and didn’t see any green. He couldn’t help but feel discouraged: “Can it be only found near the crater when it has just erupted?”
This requirement would be very difficult. A volcano that has just erupted is very rare, even if they could find one, they would not dare go up to search.
If at that time, the magma was still active, maybe when they were searching, the volcano might erupt a second time. At that time, their lives would be immediately forfeit.
Shao Qing was even more desperate. They had used so much hard work to find a volcano, yet there was no use? They did not even see a little green.
Is it really necessary to find a way to go to other places to find an active volcano that has just erupted?
“It doesn’t have to have just erupted, as long as it hasn’t been inactive for a long time. A volcano that hasn’t been active for a few years should do.” Yan Qiyue was silent for a long time and unwillingly told Shao Qing about this.
Shao Qing’s efforts can be seen in his eyes. Yet, when the place was found, what they really needed was not in sight.
How could she resign herself to this.
Yet, there is no other option. Er Dai was still waiting for them to find the plants they needed to solve the strange power on the wound.
Yan Qiyue lifted his foot ready to leave, but kicked a stone and the stone rolled down accidentally smashing a volcanic ash that was about to evolve into a fossil. Then, a light green color was exposed.
Yan Qiyue’s raised foot fell back down and he quickly pulled out a dagger and picked out a thick piece of volcanic ash, exposing the green, mossy-like plants below.
Yan Qiyue’s eyes lit up immediately. There are plants here!
After he told Shao Qing of this discovery, a group of people began to squat down and start picking on the shell formed by volcanic ash.
Picking and picking all the way to the center of the magma pool, Shao Qing found that the sound after picking here was wrong. It was as if there was a vacuum under this volcanic ash layer.
She asked Yan Qiyue and all of them to retreat. Then she inserted her knife tentatively.
