HCB Chapter 618 Apocalypse Zombies 8
Chapter 618 Apocalypse Zombies 8
Qin Yanshi, a biomedical PhD, has always been interested in various viruses. Before the apocalypse, he often spent his time in the laboratory conducting experiments, oblivious to everything else.
His parents were both biomedical experts, but they both passed away some years ago.
After the apocalypse, he was conducting experiments at his own research institution when he discovered that humans had mutated. Instead of finding it frightening, he was quite interested in it.
Qin Yanshi tied up a zombie that was actually a lab employee and began to study it, but before he could produce any results, he was taken to the base.
The people who came to pick him up this time were from the Northern Base.
The members of this squad were all mercenaries who worked for the country before the apocalypse. They received a mission from their superiors to bring Qin Yanshi back safely.
The Northern Base—isn't that on the same route as them?
Shen Wenyu and the other person were going home. The nearest base to their home was the Northern Base.
The Northern Base was established by the national higher authorities and is the most stable of the four bases, with the most complete forces, materials and equipment, and the most secure.
When Shen Fu returned, she saw Ayu lost in thought and asked, "Ayu, it's all over outside. What are you thinking about?"
Shen Wenyu snapped out of her reverie and shook her head: "It's nothing."
Shen Fu was about to say something when she suddenly saw the middle-aged man who had spoken to them that afternoon leaving with his men again.
The two of them stopped talking and looked outside.
That team has finished dealing with the zombies and is now refueling their vehicle.
The middle-aged man led his men over and talked to them for a while, then received a bag from the leader of the group, a man in his thirties.
Shen Wenyu had just overheard the middle-aged man implying that they were the ones who had worked hard to clear the zombies here.
They said the gasoline here isn't free; to put it simply, they want something in return.
Of course, he didn't speak so directly; his words were roundabout and indirect, clearly indicating that he was a skilled and eloquent person who could navigate social situations effectively before the end of the world.
The leader probably couldn't be bothered with him and impatiently gave him some things to get rid of him.
The three of them entered the supermarket with their belongings. The middle-aged man then looked at Shen Wen and his companion, his expression no longer as friendly as before.
"Young ladies, you should also pay for the gas!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Fu's eyes widened: "Hey, uncle, didn't you say before that this oil wasn't yours and that we could add as much as we wanted?"
"We cleared out all the zombies here. We should give you some compensation for your hard work by letting you stay overnight. Otherwise, where would you find such a safe place to rest?"
"Why didn't you say so sooner? What were you planning before?"
Seeing that they were being rude, the bald man became impatient: "Old Qiu, I told you not to waste your breath on them. Are you afraid of two little girls? I can handle them by myself."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man, Old Qiu, turned cold: "Young ladies, don't say I didn't warn you. Are you going to give it to yourselves or are we supposed to do it ourselves?"
After he finished speaking, he stared at the two women, waiting for them to be sensible and take out the items.
"Old Qiu, and their car too," the thin man reminded him.
Old Qiu nodded. He was a smooth talker after all, and didn't want to completely break off relations, so he feigned concern and said:
"Here's what we'll do. Don't say I'm making things difficult for you. I'll use your car and the food in one of your bags to cover the gas and overnight expenses. You can keep one bag for yourselves."
When Shen Wenyu and the other person got out of the car, they each carried only one bag, and put the rest into their personal space.
Shen Fu was not surprised to see them reveal their true colors.
Her expression turned cold: "You wish! If you want our things, then let's see if you have the ability to get them."
We've already given them the car, so what's this nonsense about gas fees? It's utterly unreasonable and ridiculous. Do you think we'd give them gas after we robbed them?
As for the overnight fee, this gas station doesn't belong to them. Even if it did, in the apocalypse, it's all about who has the stronger fist.
The key point is that they openly threatened to steal things, so why should they obediently hand them over?
Shen Wenyu didn't speak, but it conveyed the same meaning: although these three were just the vanguard, there were others who hadn't stepped forward yet.
But so what? Even if there are two other people with superpowers, she still doesn't take them seriously.
She could tell that these people had originally planned to do something, but because they were afraid that the outsiders would cause a big fuss and ruin their plans, they suddenly changed their minds and started openly threatening each other for benefits.
Those people outside all reeked of blood and had clearly taken many lives. They only dared to ask for favors politely and naturally didn't dare to push their luck.
When they got to them, the two girls started making outrageous demands, wanting both a car and food—wasn't that just a pipe dream?
Old Qiu: "Since you don't know what's good for you, then don't even talk about bullying you."
The bald man leered at them, saying, "They're all good-looking. I'll let them play with me first before I kill them. They're probably all college students... Ahhhhh!"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly screamed and covered his two bleeding eyes with his hands.
"Li Tie, what's wrong with your eyes?" Old Qiu was startled by his commotion.
"My eyes, my eyes are broken." The bald man was a tough guy; although he was in a lot of pain, he could still grit his teeth and speak.
He endured the excruciating pain and opened his eyes a crack, immediately seeing bits of flesh and blood falling out.
"Did you do it?" The thin man took a step back, pointing at Shen Wenyu and the other man with some fear and vigilance.
Upon hearing this, Shen Fu secretly glanced at Shen Wenyu, knowing that it was she who had done it.
"Hmph, we didn't lift a finger, so who knows what's wrong with his eyes?"
"Not you? You must all be people with superpowers, right?" Old Qiu was also a little scared; he didn't want to go blind.
Thinking of this, his gaze drifted to the shelves; they also had people with superpowers on their side.
"You bitches, I'll kill you all." The bald man pulled out a knife and swung it at Shen Fu with a ferocious expression.
He can't see now, he can only locate things by sound.
When Shen Fu saw him coming towards her, she panicked for a second but immediately calmed down.
She activated her supernatural power, and the ground beneath the bald man's feet suddenly began to freeze, completely freezing his feet, and then the ice spread upwards.
At the same time, a long icicle shot toward his heart.
The series of actions happened so fast that before anyone else could react, the bald man had already been killed by having his heart pierced.
Having just dealt with the bald man, Shen Fu was somewhat pleased and turned around to speak to Shen Wenyu.
"Be careful." Shen Wenyu suddenly grabbed her arm, lifted her up, and the two jumped onto the cashier counter.
At the same time, several long and hard earth spikes rose from the ground where they had just stood, their sharp tips looking like they could pierce a person directly.
