Chapter 75: Two Fools
"Look! What is that?! ”
In the crowd, I don't know who shouted, and the people present couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw the scene in front of them.
I don't know when the junction between the wall and the high platform has been covered with dense infects. But just as people subconsciously raised their weapons to resist, the newly transformed infected people roared and rushed towards their kind.
The infected, and the infected, tore and scuffled with each other, and the pressure that enveloped everyone for a while suddenly decreased a lot.
"They even kill each other." Shuying found a gap and came to Qiu Xuan's side, and said while recovering the consumed mana.
"yes." Qiu Xuan took a breath and sat on the ground casually, her face looking even whiter than Shuying. In fact, the excessive number of transformations and orders has caused her mental and physical strength to be depleted rapidly, and now she is only trying to prevent people from discovering the clues.
"Here, energy liquid." Someone sat down next to her, reaching out and handing her a bottle of a strangely colored liquid. Qiu Xuan turned her head, and the pigtailed mercenary Ander was smiling at her with a big face.
"I'll just ask, don't tell the boss that I came to you." He scratched his head, "How did you meet the boss?" ”
Qiu Xuan thanked him, took the bottle and drank it all, and then really felt that the physical strength consumed was recovering little by little at a slow speed.
Ender: "Wow, you're too unvigilant, you dare to drink anything from strangers!" ”
"I know what I know." Qiu Xuan symbolically mentioned the matter of danger induction, and didn't talk about it further, "I ...... before Qin Jiuyuan I don't know. ”
"Who are you fooling, I don't know that the boss can give you his precious knife, but I have seen it all. To be honest, did you break up, and now the boss is begging to get back together? ”
"Do you see the old man who is doing acrobatics over there," Qiu Xuan glanced at him and returned the empty bottle to him, "You can go and make a pair with him, you two can make a complete book of my 'former love life', and remember to talk to me about the money you earn when the time comes." ”
"Don't do that, you'll ......"
"Is there nothing to do?" Familiar voices sounded behind the two of them. Ander turned around a little embarrassed, "Well, I just wanted to talk to this sister, I think she might be scared when a girl sees this." ”
Hearing this, Qin Jiuyuan didn't speak, just stared at Ande like this for a long time.
"I see, I'll get out."
So Qiu Xuan watched Qin Jiuyuan and his natural sitting down in Ande's place, her eyes swept over the Zimu knife in her hand, and asked in a very natural tone, "Is it still easy to use?"
"That's it." She muttered as she rubbed the hilt of her knife.
"Okay."
The atmosphere was silent for a long time.
"This one is yours." Qin Jiuyuan suddenly spoke, and he stretched out his palm in front of Qiu Xuan, and there was a ring lying on it with a simple style that could not be seen from the material. "I saw something fall when you just passed by a corpse, and I didn't have time to bring it to you."
“…… It's mine, thank you. ”
"......" The man stroked his hair a little irritably, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke, "I take the liberty of asking, are you ...... Already engaged? ”
Qiu Xuan raised her eyebrows, "No." ”
"That's right." As if relieved, Qin Jiuyuan's tone relaxed a little, "The ring is very good-looking, did your boyfriend give it to you?" ”
"It's a selfish and affectionate person who has been trying to coax me, and after the matter is revealed, I have to confess to give gifts to please me, but I still have no remorse in my heart."
Qin Jiuyuan: "......"
Qin Jiuyuan: "You actually left the ring given by this kind of person until now?!! ”
"yes, who knows." Qiu Xuan retracted her gaze and looked at the blood-colored sky where the sun wheel had not risen for a long time. "Maybe I'm a big fool too."
She sat in place for a while, feeling the strength in her body regain a moment, and Qiu Xuan stood up. "Brother Yuan." She said.
Qin Jiuyuan was stunned for a moment, "You...... Call me what? ”
"Dasha/, let's go." Qiu Xuan rolled her eyes angrily, "Don't be lazy here, the world is still waiting to be saved." ”
“……”
"See, this is what happens to licking dogs." On the other side, Ender looked at the smirk on the man's face with disgust, and turned to say something to the people around him. "You, don't be like our boss."
Ling You squatted on the ground and tied the gauze on his arm tightly, "Are you really okay with nothing?" She kicked Ender, "If you have nothing to do, help burn those corpses, I always feel that the source of the infection came from there." ”
After finishing the last infected person who rushed towards the crowd, Zhao Mingsi landed steadily on the high platform, retracted the metal wings behind him, and looked at the scene of cannibalism in front of him with an inexplicable expression.
After staring at it like this for a while, Zhao Mingsi stopped An De's desire to burn the corpses, and turned his head to the adjutant and said, "Ask someone to dispose of these corpses, and by the way, organize the evacuation of the residents in the town, and gather them together to protect them." ”
The adjutant nodded in obligation. While they were evacuating the residents, Qiu Xuan was following Shuying and them to do the final finishing touches. In fact, this work should not have been done by her, just for the sake of insurance and not to let people discover the reason for the transformation of those new infected people, Qiu Xuan could only mix in the crowd and pretend to be an ordinary team member.
She had closely observed the "infected people" who had been transformed by her own hands, and they were no different from the infected people in the general sense, the only possibility was that they could be "controlled" by mental power.
Perhaps because Qiu Xuan is the "source" that gives them an alternative new life, they can be controlled and given orders.
Qiu Xuan didn't know what kind of trouble this ability to spread the plague — or more appropriately, "curse" — would cause her. And just when she thought she had glimpsed the shadow of the bits and pieces of truth at this moment, a haggard woman was rushing towards her crying.
Ignoring the obstruction of the soldiers around her, the woman rushed straight to the corpse lying horizontally behind Qiu Xuan. She carefully flipped the corpse, her gaze finally shattering when she touched the bright red straps that were tied around the arms of the black corpse.
She sat on her knees and hugged the corpse in a daze, and after a while, she looked up, tears scouring her dusty face with two marks.
"You killed him." She stubbornly raised her head to look at Zhao Mingsi.
"You're going to pay the price."
