Rebirth in the end of the world, with space and mortal enemy win

Chapter 37 Zombies Appear

The door could block the cold wave for a moment, but it was ultimately limited.

Feeling the coldness on Qin Qi's body and the chill on his lips, Tian Ge was so frightened that he broke out in a sweat.

He pushed Qin Qi away and erected a barrier around the two of them to isolate the cold air from the outside world.

Using water-based abilities to form a water curtain is no longer a difficult task for Tiange now. With the constant flow of spiritual energy from the space into her body, it is entirely up to her to decide how long she wants to maintain the barrier.

But what surprised him was that Qin Qi was not at all curious about the fact that she could use her supernatural powers now.

He held her face with a smile on his face and shook his head.

"Don't waste your powers. I'm wearing this."

He pulled at his collar, revealing the black vest underneath.

Tiange breathed a sigh of relief. Although this piece of clothing was hard and ugly due to the immature craftsmanship, it could at least protect a person from freezing when walking on the frozen ground for a short period of time.

But when the two came out of the corridor, they found something wrong.

The entire neighborhood was so quiet that the only sound was the sound of the wind, and there was not even a whisper in the houses.

However, there were a lot of unusual movements in the corridor behind and not far away.

Every unusual movement was coincidentally mixed in with the sound of the wind, and it would be difficult to distinguish if you didn't listen carefully.

Tiange and Qin Qi looked at each other and became alert.

Intermittent footsteps began to be heard in the corridor behind me and at the door of the building next to me.

"Thump, thump, thump, thump."

The pace was slow, with many of the same sounds mixed together unevenly, forming a strange rhythm at such a moment.

She made a "hush" gesture to Qin Qi, then pulled him towards a trampled path on the community lawn.

The ice does not immediately form thick frost on the ground, but is slowly accumulated through repeated washing by mutated cold waves.

At this time, there was only a very light layer of frost on the ground, but it had already covered the ice fragments of Wen Zhaoxing's body that were shattered when he fell.

The lawns, trees, wild flowers and weeds were all instantly frozen into ice sculptures.

The two men lowered their bodies and tried to make their footsteps as light as possible, but the sound of the ice breaking on the grass was quite loud.

The place where they made unusual movements suddenly became silent as they made the noise, followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps.

Tiange Qinqi continued walking, whispering, "Don't stop, it's a zombie."

Qin Qi nodded, held Tian Ge's hand with his backhand, and the two of them continued to walk slowly towards the side door of the community.

The zombies behind him rushed out from various corridors. Most of them had intact bodies but gray skin, and it seemed that they had just mutated.

The colder the weather, the more sensitive they are to the smell of living people. They can smell the scent of flesh and blood on Tiange and Qin Qi from a long distance away.

However, the zombies that had originally rushed out of the corridor began to slow down from the first second their feet touched the ground.

The ground on the lawn became very slippery due to the accumulation of frost. One or two zombies could still move slowly towards the place where the smell of blood was, but as the number of zombies gradually increased, they rubbed against each other and fell to the ground in an instant.

Qin Qi looked back and saw a group of zombies, about forty or fifty in number, all lying on the ground and unable to get up. A light flashed in his eyes.

When the two left the community through the side door and came to the roadside, they saw that all the metal parts of the shared bicycles on the road were peeling and rusting.

Qin Qi directly pulled her into an off-road vehicle that was obviously modified at a glance.

"This car. Can it still be driven?" No matter how good the performance of this military off-road vehicle is, it cannot withstand the corrosive power of the mutant cold wave.

Qin Qi smiled and nodded, "This is all thanks to the wormhole you contributed, Xiaoge." "In addition to making a vest that can resist the mutant cold wave, the experts in the wormhole laboratory also used the same rock to extract substances from it, refined them into liquid and sprayed them inside and outside the car, allowing the car to be used normally."

Tiange also opened his mouth in surprise, "So, as long as this substance can be mass-produced and sprayed on various weapons, then both hot weapons and cold weapons can be used normally in the apocalypse!"

Qin Qi smiled and shook his head, "It's not that easy."

"The last time I led a team into a wormhole, almost all of them were wiped out. The supplies I brought out were limited. I made five vests from some of these rocks, and the rest were all refined into liquid, which has now been used up."

Tiange developed a strong interest in this kind of rock.

Even if she awakened her super powers, she still needed to stay vigilant and use her super powers to resist the damage caused by the mutant cold wave.

On the other hand, although Qin Qi's hands and face were cold, he could at least move freely in the frozen area.

Qin Qi had just driven her to the villa area when the communication device in the car rang.

Tiange took out his cell phone, which had no signal and could not be turned on at all, and sighed.

After Qin Qi answered the communicator, he did not turn his back to her, but turned on the speakerphone so that she could listen together.

It was Ji Li's voice on the other end of the communicator.

"Boss, please come back soon! Something happened at home!"

Qin Qi frowned, "What's going on?"

"After midnight, zombies inexplicably appeared in the underground base. The old man has led a team to suppress some of them, but there are still a lot of zombies in the base."

Qin Qi's face was cold. After hanging up the phone, he looked at Tian Ge and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Tian Ge.

"No need to say anything, just go back."

Qin Qi pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly pulled her head closer and gently touched her forehead with his cold lips.

"I'm going to go back and take care of things at the base. You go home first."

Tiange nodded and said, "Be careful and don't try to be brave." After thinking for a while, he continued to remind.

"Don't get hurt or bitten by zombies. This is not a novel or a movie. If you are hurt by them, the only outcome is to turn into a zombie. It's not like in novels and movies where you can survive 24 hours and then awaken special powers or something."

Qin Qi nodded seriously, and the reluctance in his eyes disappeared in the next second.

He disassembled one of the communicators and handed it to Tian Ge. "This communicator has the function of preventing magnetic interference, but the battery can only last for seven days."

Tiange happily took it and looked left and right curiously.

"Wait for me for seven days. I'll come find you once I've dealt with the matters in the base."

Tiange nodded, and before getting off the car, he suddenly thought of something and said quickly, "Wait for me for a few minutes!"

She quickly returned to the villa and ran out again after a few seconds with a bottle of mineral water in her hand.

Qin Qi took the familiar water bottle from Tiange's hand, and worry flashed in his eyes.

"Xiao Ge, you must never take this thing out in front of outsiders, understand?"

At that time, he was fighting with a water mantis in the wormhole. His arms were almost broken by the mantis's sickle, and his legs and abdomen were pierced by the mantis's lower abdominal segments.

It was because of the bottle of water that Tiange gave him that he recovered miraculously. He only had minor injuries when he came back.

　Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone.
