209: Chapter 29 A Pool of Blood

Before the outbreak of the Post-Apocalyptic World, Ye Qingqing had actually watched many post-apocalyptic themed movies.

Before the disaster arrived, it seemed as if survivors were always with The Authorities or the Army.

It seemed as if most ordinary people could survive.

However, the reality was that when the disaster truly arrived...

The valuable group of people had already left first.

The remaining survivors could only be left there forever.

It was the same even for the Official Base.

It wasn't a lack of will to save them, but rather that it was simply impossible to do so.

Just like the current Insect Plague.

Even though Ye Qingqing and Huo Sixian had come to search for survivors.

But how many survivors could actually survive from this Official Base?

Ye Qingqing lacked confidence because, as her Electric Scooter crossed the ruins swallowed by Black Worms, she smelled it.

She smelled the bloody scent of those melted onto the ground.

Layer upon layer, as if the stacking would never end.

The sound of planes flying overhead became more frequent.

These sounds also attracted the zombies outside the base to surround them.

The buildings within the base had already been swallowed by the Black Worms.

From a distance, the base now looked like a flat plain.

Everything was visible at a glance.

If not for the sky being so dark and gloomy.

Ye Qingqing and the others should have been able to see survivors long ago.

But now, they could only advance through the darkness like blind men feeling an elephant.

Along the way, they didn't see a single person.

Although the distance wasn't long, the three of them felt as if they had walked for a century.

When they finally saw the light ahead.

All three felt as if they had lived through many long years.

Ye Qingqing couldn't help but wonder in her heart.

Could humanity really survive what came next?

What patterns did the outbreak of this Post-Apocalyptic World follow, or rather, when would this Post-Apocalyptic World finally end?

It had been nearly a year since the outbreak of the Post-Apocalyptic World until the current Insect Plague.

Ye Qingqing had experienced so many things during this year.

The experiences were so extensive that they almost made her forget the events of her past life.

Ye Qingqing's train of thought was snapped back by Mo Wangchuan's exclamation.

At this moment, a person bitten by a black insect lay before Mo Wangchuan.

At first glance, nothing seemed particularly special about the person.

But as Ye Qingqing, Huo Sixian, and the others approached, they discovered a small bulge darting beneath the person's skin.

Mo Wangchuan's Healing Type Ability was doing its best to mend the areas on the person's body that had been swallowed by the Black Worms.

However, the effect was not good.

With only a single Black Worm, the person who had been bitten still deflated instantly like a punctured ball.

The person simply shriveled up in Mo Wangchuan's arms.

Incredulity flickered in Mo Wangchuan's eyes.

"No!"

"Don't!"

Mo Wangchuan was so anxious he was on the verge of tears.

In just a flash tonight, many people had already died before Mo Wangchuan.

Mo Wangchuan had been saving lives for many years, but recently he had encountered too many things he was powerless against.

So many that Mo Wangchuan began to doubt himself.

Last time it was Wang Xiaoman, and this time it was the Insect Plague.

The light gradually faded from Mo Wangchuan's eyes, and so did hope.

Huo Sixian watched as the person in Mo Wangchuan's arms was about to turn into a pool of blood.

And that Black Worm was about to crawl out from the shriveled person's chest.

And the next target of the Black Worm's attack would be Mo Wangchuan!

Huo Sixian swung the Metal Chain in his hand.

Moving the shriveled, melting corpse away from Mo Wangchuan's arms.

Then he used the chain to encircle Mo Wangchuan's body.

At the moment Huo Sixian pulled Mo Wangchuan's body, the black insect had just darted out from the shriveled corpse.

If Huo Sixian had been a step slower, Mo Wangchuan would have been bitten by that Black Worm.

A nearby Fire-type Ability User directly cast a fireball over it when the Black Worm darted out.

Although ordinary Fire-type Ability Users couldn't compare to Huo Sixian's Superpower.

It was still sufficient in this Insect Plague.

Ye Qingqing was very angry seeing this.

She directly slapped Mo Wangchuan's face.

"Mo Wangchuan!"

"What are you doing!"

"Pull yourself together!"

"Now is not the time for you to be wallowing in despair!"

Ye Qingqing could tell that there was no longer any hope for life in Mo Wangchuan's eyes.

A person with no light in their eyes also lacks the will to live.

But the current situation did not give Mo Wangchuan much time.

At this moment, Ye Qingqing was standing on a piece of metal ground manifested by a Gold-element Ability User.

These Black Worms would bypass the metal ground upon contact.

But there were simply too many of them.

From beneath the ground, Ye Qingqing could still clearly feel the vibration frequency of those Black Worms moving under the metal surface.

Every Black Worm was searching for a breakthrough, intending to swallow the humans here whole.

And on the other side within this range.

Another group of zombies was approaching.

Huo Sixian looked at Meng Hangfei, who had stayed behind.

"How's the situation now?"

Meng Hangfei sat on the ground, gasping for air.

His eyes revealed a complex mix of emotions.

He had seen it with his own eyes.

He saw a group of people die instantly before him.

And then turn into a pool of blood.

A few seconds before Huo Sixian and the others arrived, the metal ground had not been fully laid out.

So there were still casualties occurring.

At this moment, Meng Hangfei sat on the ground, taking several breaths.

After taking deep breaths for a while, he finally spoke: "Dead... they're all dead."

Seeing Meng Hangfei like this, Huo Sixian didn't need to ask to know the general gist of what happened.

At that moment, Zuo Yuxing arrived.

"Get on the plane quickly, the last plane is ready."

Seeing this, Ye Qingqing pulled up Mo Wangchuan, who was squatting on the ground.

And shoved him into the Aircraft Cabin.

However, at that moment, the zombies caught up.

The zombies, which everyone hadn't taken seriously before, suddenly surged forward like a flood through an opened gate.

Ye Qingqing and Huo Sixian exchanged a look.

They were no longer in a hurry to board the plane, instead staying behind to knock down the zombies trying to climb onto it.

But things often don't go smoothly.

Now, the group had to busy themselves with attacking the Black Worms on the ground while also keeping an eye out for zombies to avoid being injured by them.

In this battle, Wang Xiaochun was at a distinct disadvantage.

For almost the entire time, Wang Xiaochun could only follow behind Meng Hangfei.

Because Wang Xiaochun was a close-quarters fighter, she had no elemental way to resist these Black Worms.

Although Meng Hangfei had an Earth Element Ability, he could directly use sand and soil to block the attacks of the Black Worms for a while.

But in doing so, he seemed a bit overwhelmed by the zombies' offensive.

Moreover, Meng Hangfei had to look after two people.

At this time, the combat between Wang Xiaochun and Meng Hangfei appeared exceptionally well-coordinated.
