The objective law of development of things will never change, unless it can be changed in essence.

It's a pity that the base in City B didn't have such good luck and failed to solve its problems from the roots, history always repeats itself, and the base in City B finally coincided with the trajectory of another world after struggling for so long, and it was about to collapse because of the collapse of the base, and the high-level decision-makers had the intention of fully relocating, and sent a special expedition to the southern base.

It is said that it is a friendly exchange, but it is not for negotiation.

The base of City B is an absolute large base, In the last days for so many years, the pattern has basically stabilized, and it will never be a simple decision to move all of them - you know, there are not only people with abilities in the large base, but also ordinary people, The old, weak, sick and disabled and other groups that cannot be counted in combat effectiveness, once the population is large, it is dangerous to migrate, and they may be besieged by the zombie army at any time, Zhong Zizhen and they were also worried about this problem, he still remembers that when there was a rumor, City B began to panic, Many are afraid of being left behind, and many are reluctant to relocate......

For the leadership, it is even more difficult and entangled, if they take refuge in other bases, it is obvious that they can no longer maintain their original position in the bases, they will be subject to more constraints, and it is not impossible for the power to reshuffle.

In the later stages of the apocalypse, it will also become a game of power, when will there be no shortage of such people, facing crises and human disasters? People caught up in the power game obviously don't care about it, just as it did when the end times didn't happen. Some people who really want to do something for the people will be regarded as a stumbling block to be removed, and the benefits will be shared, and the party will naturally fight against differences.

So much so that sometimes in order to ensure the safety of themselves and their loved ones, in order to control their own destiny, they also have to climb up to the top of the pyramid in order to breathe out with peace of mind. Because he had expected it, he now stood here, as the leader of the Southern United Base, to greet a poor compatriot full of ambition and ruthlessness, on behalf of tens of thousands of survivors for help.

Of course, the people are not guilty, but they are not good.

In his previous life, he never had the intention of fighting for power with Qiao Quan, but he just took the responsibility that was in line with his ability, so he was the first to start, and he saw clearly that Qiao Quan was a shameless villain, and he also saw Qiao Quan's wolf nature.

Just like Qiao Quan. Zhong Zizhen's eyes flashed with a cold light, he didn't blame Qiao Quan, he was the loser in the game, and naturally he should accept the punishment of failure, he only had a feeling for Qiao Quan—simple and direct—hatred and the endless killing intent brought by hatred.

There are not so many twists and turns, it is true that he is sitting in this position now, just to wait for Qiao Quan's visit. Good and evil will be rewarded, and now the time has finally come.

The team has arrived at the perimeter of their base for security checks. Zhong Zizhen took his entourage to Du Yiming to meet in front of the building, exchanged a tacit look, and then walked towards the direction of the visitor.

Compared with the smug face he saw for the last time in his previous life, Qiao Quan is now smiling modestly and enthusiastically and politely, and he is really a gentleman who is in the wind of a jade tree. Zhong Zizhen was in a trance for a moment, Qiao Quan and Josh's appearance was not similar, probably Qiao Quan looked like their suave father, his face was angular and handsome, but Josh was the same as his famous and beautiful mother.

The only similarity is probably that when he laughs, his demeanor has a trace of the same charm, which is too similar at the moment when the corners of his mouth move slightly, but then it is completely different, Qiao Quan is unconsciously perfunctory and just right, confident and natural, and can get a good first impression to shorten the distance between people; Josh, on the other hand, is restrained, even if he smiles, he feels a sense of distance and gentle rejection. It's probably Josh's mom that always used Josh to ask Josh for Josh when Josh was a child, and then corrected it like this.

These are guesses from Josh's diary.

But in an instant, Zhong Zizhen recovered, shook hands with Qiao Quan, and put on a just right smile on his face, Qiao Quan naturally couldn't tolerate it, but there weren't too many people in their base. At this time, Qiao Quan didn't know that in the eyes of Du Yiming and Zhong Zizhen, he was already a dead man.

Here it is......

It's like slowly sinking to the bottom of the water...... It's so heavy...... It's so dark...... Why, he felt like he was going to be unable to catch up with his breathing, and he was going to suffocate to death? Or is it a terrible nightmare?

Wake up! Wake up! I'm running out of oxygen!

Inhale violently, but not cool the slightest stream of water down the nasal cavity, instantly the chest is hot, the lung lobes are about to blow up, regardless of the moment of choking cough, the clear water continues to bubbles, in the calm blue water played a music, the ripples on the water surface are getting bigger and bigger, the ripples are getting wider and wider, but for a moment, a drowning figure appeared on the calm water surface, fortunately, the water in the pool is not deep, the range is not large, people staggered and embarrassed to step to the edge, lying on the shore and coughing fiercely.

A few white clouds floated leisurely, the sky was pure blue, as if the early spring sun shone on this place where the scenery was excellent like a paradise country, a few wisps of breeze swept across the water, stirring up ripples on the water surface, and it seemed to greet a new partner - it was a thin figure, the prominent outline of the shoulder blades was beautiful like a butterfly about to take off, the broken hair over the ears was stained with water to cover his face, the skin was very fair, and the color difference between the black messy hair stimulated people's senses, and the transparent water droplets slid down his smooth back, Refracts crystal light in the sun.

Nature gave birth to elves, and this is just such a scene.

Josh gasped for air, and though it made his choking and his trachea more painful, he had to...... It's like holding his breath for two minutes, he has reached the limit, and he can't bear the lack of oxygen. But despite this, even if he breathed harder, it seemed that the oxygen inhaled in his body was still very limited, so he felt extremely uncomfortable, and there was always a sense of urgency to suffocate, and it became more and more intense, and the scene in front of him began to ghost......

The oxygen available is limited, Josh has to start to control his movements, replace the sharp inhalation with long breaths, and the violent heartbeat can also be slowed down, in short, no matter what this weirdness is, it is important to make sure that you are safe first, calm down, every cell is quiet, and the efficiency of the use of oxygen inhaled in the body will become higher!

Although it was still uncomfortable, Josh quickly adapted to it, and he had to figure out the situation quickly, otherwise the danger would increase exponentially! Josh looked at where he was—green grass, green leaves, flowers, blue sky, clear water, light clouds and light breeze, was this a dream?

After the invasion of the last days, where is there such a good place without a little pollution? No, it should be said that even if there is no end times, such a beautiful place is very rare, and there is no trace of buildings as far as the eye can see...... Josh frowned violently, the end times, wait?

A thought became clearer and clearer, almost pausing Josh's thoughts, and the difficult breathing also stopped for a moment - he, isn't he? So, what's going on now? Do people really have souls? Josh looked down and looked at his hand, the palm lines were clear, and the texture was terrifying, and he raised his hand to touch it, and the warm feeling of his palm made Josh stunned......

Authentic. Too true.

The touch of his hands, the coolness of the water, the unpleasantness of his wet hair sticking to his neck, even the rough ground that his skin touched, and even the suffocation due to not breathing enough, were all real and terrifying.

What's going on? Where is this again?

Breathing is getting more and more difficult, the lack of oxygen has made him have a specific itch in his throat, and the cough seems to be in his mouth, but Josh knows that he can't, it is just drinking to quench his thirst, the problem of suffocation is not only not relieved, but it will make the body more hypoxic, biting the tip of his tongue, Josh sat against the pool wall in pain, weakly put his head on the shore, and wrapped his arms around his body, trying to alleviate the discomfort of his body, now, what should he do?

Just when Josh thought that he would suffocate to death like this, the air suddenly lightened, the difficulty of breathing disappeared instantly, and a large amount of air rushed into his mouth and nose...... It's like accepting him.

Yes, it is to accept him and admit him.

Josh couldn't help but smile a little, half-squinting at the sparkling water in the sun, stroking the hair on his forehead, Josh stood up, the water droplets fell from him, he was about to get out of the pool, but his heart suddenly moved slightly, something was telling him, something...... It's going to happen.

Or rather, someone is coming. But he did not reject it, and it seemed that there was no danger at all, as if he was aware of it, Josh turned around, and a figure suddenly appeared at the edge of the empty spring.

The wind was far away, only the sound of the water droplets on Josh's body falling into the pool, the sun did not hesitate to its warmth and color, enveloping this quiet and beautiful place, Josh looked into the eyes of people like that, lost all thoughts in an instant, words were sealed, thoughts were frozen.

At this moment, even the air is still.

Smack...... Something dripped along with the water droplets on the tip of his hair, and at the same time fell into the pool, Josh's face turned pale instantly, his hands clenched at his sides, and his nails tingled his palms - does sunlight have weight, too? This is a fatal repression that follows us. Sure enough, he will never be able to, he can't escape, the black mountain and the nightmare, come again.

The hands and feet were covered with black shackles. Noble God, please send down a just judgment again.
