[MTL, BL] The Little Beauty was Forced to Raise a Cub for The Corpse King

9

Ignoring the pain in their bodies, a group of people quickly shuttled through the jungle of buildings.

As the noise caused by the zombie king became louder and louder, more and more zombies were approaching.

They passed by zombies several times along the way, and once they even collided head-on with them. Fortunately, Ji Yanqing reacted quickly and quickly dealt with them before making any bigger noise.

They ran for nearly forty minutes at a stretch. It wasn't until the buildings in front of them gradually became sparse and green vegetation that was different from the reinforced concrete buildings that they could vaguely see that everyone slowed down.

The edge of the city is far less prosperous than the city center. The buildings are old, low and have narrow facades. There are even shacks selling breakfast on the narrow streets.

There are zombies on the streets, many of them.

The explorer came back and silently pointed to a row of buildings on the left, where there were fewer zombies.

Ji Yan glanced at the zombies wandering on the street and led the people there.

After quickly crossing the street and reaching the building on the left, he walked forward and ran more than five hundred meters in one breath to reach the building at the edge of the town. Ji Yanqing did not leave the city directly but found a place to hide nearby.

In the garage where the door was wide open and the car was being repaired, several people looked out from the door while breathing heavily.

To the left of the car repair shop is the road, and on the opposite side of the road is farmland, which extends all the way to the foot of the mountains nearly two miles away.

It has been more than half a year since the virus broke out, and the farmland has long been uncultivated. Now it is overgrown with weeds and looks green from a distance.

This should have been a lively scene, but now it makes people's scalp numb, because the rice that they were familiar with and once relied on for survival in the farmland is now taller than a person and shaped like corn.

The rice ears at the top, as thick as an adult's arm, eagerly sprouted branches before they matured, and blossomed into clusters of white powder-like flowers.

The gaps between the rice plants seem to hide something extremely dangerous, which is daunting.

It was definitely not the rice they were familiar with.

"I'm going to see if there are other roads nearby." A tall, bald man in the team headed towards the road between the car repair shop and the farmland.

The entire open space between the city and the mountains is full of farmland. Unless they can find a road leading directly from the city to the mountains, they can only cross the farmland.

If possible, they don't want to go into that patch of rice. Who knows what's in there?

"Be careful." Ji Yan gently warned.

After watching the bald man leave, a group of people checked the wounds on their bodies.

They were all more or less injured, and they had only had time to simply stop the bleeding.

After Ji Yanqing quickly checked himself, he checked Ji An and another child.

Ji An was very obedient and let Ji Yan gently touch his head and belly.

The other child was very nervous and immediately hid when Ji Yan approached him lightly. However, he was placed in the backpack and had nowhere to escape. Seeing that he couldn't escape, he closed his eyes tightly.

After confirming that the two little ones were not injured, Ji Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Lan Zi was seriously injured. Her right hand was dislocated. She was sweating all the way and there was no blood on her lips.

"Be patient." Xia Chenshu grabbed Lan Zi's hand.

Lan Zi didn't ask Xia Chenshu if he would answer it, and just gritted his teeth and turned his head sideways. She had no other choice.

Xia Chenshu took action the moment Lan Zi turned his head.

He did have a moment and successfully took his hand back, although Lan Zi's whole body was curled up in pain on the ground.

"Okay." Xia Chenshu looked at the hand he took back and felt a sense of accomplishment, feeling vaguely nostalgic.

Ji Yan looked over and saw that Xia Chenshu didn't look like a doctor. Doctors didn't know how to use guns.

At this moment, the bald man came in from the door.

Everyone looked around.

The bald head shook his head, "There is a road at the entrance of the town, but it seems to be a national highway. There are cars on the road..." When

the doomsday comes, the first reaction of people in the city is to drive away, but there are many people and cars, and many people have no time to drive. When you leave the city, you are directly stuck on the road. This directly causes various highways and national highways to become high-risk places next to schools and hospitals.

"Tsk..." Baldhead cursed.

"Where is the reservoir?" Ji Yan looked at Xia Chenshu lightly.

Xia Chenshu pointed to the opposite side of the farmland.

Ji Yan frowned slightly.

It might be possible to walk across the field ridges between the fields, but that would not be much better than walking directly through the fields.

"Are you going to Shengfeng Reservoir?" The man who had been rescued by Ji Yanqing outside the school was full of surprise.

"You know?" Xia Chenshu raised his eyebrows.

"I used to live in this city." The man's face was momentarily abnormal, mixed with surprise, pain, resistance, and some incomprehensible emotions.

He quickly figured it out and continued: "I've been there before. I can show you the way. The reservoir is very deep and there should be water."

Ji Yanqing and Xia Chenshu looked at each other without comment.

Although they saved the person and let him escape with them all the way here, whether to let the other person join them and whether to save the person are two different things.

People like Sun Haifeng have never been in the minority.

The man saw the hesitation of several people, and also saw that Ji Yanqing, who had an astonishingly beautiful face under the goggles, was the core of the entire team. He immediately said to Ji Yanqing: "I went to have a barbecue with my friends around the reservoir before. , that place is quite far from here, and it takes more than two hours to drive there. If you walk, even if you walk on the road, it is easy to get sidetracked without someone to guide you." "

You'd better really know the way." Ji Yan Lightly.

Even if there is still water in the reservoir, there will definitely not be much water left. Maybe there will be only the bottom. In this case, it will be difficult for them to find it on their own, and they have no time.

It's a little faster now, the hottest part of the day has passed, the air is no longer aggressive, but the moisture they lost will not come back.

Their lips were chapped, and their throats were burning with pain.

The worst case scenario is that they won't make it until noon tomorrow.

"Don't worry!" The man breathed a sigh of relief, "My name is Zhang Guxian."

Ji Yan glanced at him lightly, then took the lead to tie up his trousers and cuffs, "Try not to let the skin be exposed."

Put the younger child into the backpack and then After tying up the cuffs of Ji An's trouser legs, Ji Yanqing took the lead to the rice plant, which was much taller than a human.

After making sure everyone was ready, he took the lead and headed towards the farmland.

The rice plants are so tall that they have to look up to see the top while walking inside. The farmland ground has long been dry and cracked.

Rice is mutated, with finger-thick rhizomes spiraling intricately on the ground. The half-human-long leaves kept scratching on the clothes, making a rustling sound. The wheat ears swayed as they moved, and the pollen on the tops flew.

There was no air circulation and it was extremely hot.

Everyone was paying full attention, always on guard for something to jump out at them. Because they were so nervous, almost everyone had sweat overflowing from their foreheads.

However, after walking nearly two miles in one go through the entire farmland and into the woods at the foot of the mountain, they did not encounter any danger.

In a false alarm, everyone looked at each other and let out a long breath.

"Continue." Ji Yanqing took the lead towards the mountain without giving everyone any time to rest. This place was not far enough from the city.

No one spoke, everyone just gritted their teeth and followed.

The world has collapsed, and a lot of common sense can no longer be used. This also applies to this mountain forest.

This mountain forest, which was not far from the city and was not supposed to be lush, has grown into a thousand-year-old forest in just half a year. The forest is full of huge trees that require several people to surround them.

There are not enough gaps between trees, and many trees are directly swallowed by other surrounding trees before they have time to grow.

Looking from a distance, I don't know if it was their psychological effect, but the trees that were swallowed up and twisted in them looked like people screaming in pain.

There was silence all around, and everyone's nerves, which should have been relaxed because they were far away from the city, became more and more tense in the strange environment.

Gritting his teeth, he walked forward for more than an hour. It wasn't until everyone's physical strength was completely exhausted and their mouths were so dry that even breathing became painful, that Ji Yanqing finally asked to rest.

After hearing Ji Yanqing's words "rest where you are", the next moment everyone felt like deflated balloons and collapsed to the ground without any image.

No one spoke, and the woods stopped breathing.

Ji An was hugged by Xia Chenshu. As soon as he landed on the ground, he ran towards Ji Yanqing to be next to him.

Xia Chenshu saw him lying on the ground and muttered, "You have no conscience."

Ji Yanqing found a place to sit down, and after taking out the child from his backpack, he took out the dried red dates and mushrooms he had found earlier and threw them to Xia Chenshu for him to share.

Seeing that there was food, Xia Chenshu quickly stood up from the ground. Seeing the two packs of dried red dates and mushrooms that were not edible at all, he felt helpless.

"You guys eat this." Ji Yanqing took the small bread and two small bags of fish and tofu that he had given to Ji An and the others.

Ji An looked at Ji Yanqing and took the fish tofu.

When another child saw the bun, his Adam's apple slid uncontrollably but he didn't dare to reach out to take it.

Ji Yanqing put his buns and fish tofu on the ground without forcing himself.

"How long have you been there?" Ji Yan asked Ji An lightly.

When asked, Ji An, who was holding fish tofu in both hands and was reluctant to eat it, thought about it and pointed out five tiny fingers.

"Five days?" Ji Yan was slightly surprised.

"He knows nothing..." The bald man eating red dates was amused, "I'm already dead of thirst in five days."

Under such high temperature, five days without drinking water, let alone a three-year-old child, even a group of adults like them can't hold it. live.

"Really..." Ji An was a little anxious. He knew how to count, and he could already count to a hundred.

Bald head looked.

Ji An was immediately too frightened to speak and hid behind Ji Yanqing.

Ji Yan suddenly remembered the blood and holes in another child's clothes. He had changed the clothes in the dark without anyone else knowing.

"What's your name?" Ji Yanqing looked at the other child.

The child didn't speak, but looked at Ji Yanqing and the others in fear.

"Why are you there?" Ji Yanqing asked again.

"Mom told me to wait for her there..." The child said this time before Ji An could say anything. He spoke a little hastily and turned his head to try to find her as he spoke.

When he found that his mother was not around and the place became unfamiliar, he flattened his mouth and pretended to cry.

If he leaves, mother will not be able to find him when she goes back.

Thinking that his mother might not be able to find him, he felt so aggrieved that tears fell down in big drops.

He had a bald head and a flat mouth, and was completely impatient with the child, but he didn't say anything, because the child, like Ji An, was only three years old but he didn't dare to cry even if he cried.

"You eat first. When you are full, I will take you to her." Ji Yan coaxed.

The child looked at Ji Yanqing with tearful eyes, and the tears fell even more fiercely. He tried hard not to make a sound, and his whole chest heaved with sobs, which was heart-wrenching to watch.

"She's fine, you'll see her soon." Ji Yan said lightly.

The child was holding on to the T-shirt that Ji Yanqing had put on him with both hands. He was crying more and more out of breath. His small chest was rising and falling rapidly, as if there were too many sorrows and grievances in it. I can hardly hide it.

Ji Yan was speechless, not understanding why he cried more and more as he coaxed her.

Ji Yanqing was thinking about what to say, but when he spoke, his mind suddenly turned around. He suddenly understood that the reason why the child kept crying might not be because he couldn't find his mother, but because he already understood that he would never be able to find his mother again. He couldn't see his mother either.

He already knew that he was thrown away.

Before being found, he and Ji An had been hiding in that building for several days. Although they were still young, that long time was enough for them to figure out many things.

Ji Yan's throat felt sore.

He reached out and picked up the child and held him in his arms.

"Cry, you've cried enough this time, don't cry again in the future." Ji Yan paused lightly, "You will be called Ji Le from now on."

Being hugged, he felt the warm and reassuring strength on Ji Yanqing's arm, and listened. With the words ringing in his ears, the child couldn't hold back after all, and cried out "Wow".

The silent woods were filled with his heart-rending cries for a while.
