134: Xu Jingzhe's new ability

Xu Jingzhe's Second-level Alloy Battle Suit exploded, leaving a large hole in his back, exposing a bloody, mangled mess that made it impossible to distinguish between blood and flesh.

Fresh blood dripped down the Second-level Alloy Battle Suit, staining the ground red.

In contrast, Bai Binger was unscathed, except for the damage to her fair, oval-shaped face; her Second-level Alloy Battle Suit remained intact.

Qin Shuang looked at the severely injured Xu Jingzhe, wiped away her tears, and resumed her duties as captain.

"Yang Shuang, coagulant, strengthening needle, nutrient solution!"

"Zheng Peng, check Binger's injuries."

The three of them divided their tasks efficiently and proceeded with the treatment in an orderly manner.

Qin Shuang knelt halfway on the ground and removed Xu Jingzhe's tattered Second-level Alloy Battle Suit; ignoring the social norms between men and women, she first checked Xu Jingzhe's breathing and heartbeat.

Next, she checked his chest, taking a finger-thick, transparent, viscous object from within her own battle suit and applying it evenly.

The Second-level Alloy Battle Suit on her hands emitted a faint blue light, scanning Xu Jingzhe's chest, and a palm-sized, rectangular LCD screen appeared.

Heart: Good.

Lungs: Good.

...

Qin Shuang breathed a sigh of relief; this was the detection function equipped in her Second-level Alloy Battle Suit.

The Second-level Alloy Battle Suits of all five people were custom-made according to their physical fitness and positions.

"Cough, cough..."

Just then, Bai Binger woke up, leaning against a broken tree, coughing loudly.

She had clearly seen the Grim Reaper beckoning to her!

However, someone had stepped on seven-colored auspicious clouds, wearing five-colored battle armor; he had suddenly arrived, tightly grasping her hand and snatching her back from the hands of the Grim Reaper.

In that moment, she admitted that her heart had skipped a beat.

She looked at Xu Jingzhe lying on the ground and murmured, "Did... did Lu Fei save me?"

Qin Shuang nodded and said in a deep voice, "He saved all of us."

"Yakos was carrying a bomb. As a loser, he tried to drag the person who defeated him down with him, which violated the Alliance regulations. I have already informed the family and reported this to the Alliance."

"Although Lu Fei is seriously injured, his life is not in danger."

Several of them breathed a sigh of relief, their tense nerves relaxing as they slumped to the ground.

The first battle of the Qin Zhan Wushuang Squad could only be described as tragic; this was bad news, hitting their confidence hard.

Xu Jingzhe, in his sleep, was condensing the tenth ring of his Golden Contamination Core due to repeatedly stimulating his potential and breaking through his physical limits, combined with the ten jin of Moon Soil Evolution Fluid Pure Liquid he had absorbed earlier.

Inside his body, the energy of all his cells was surging into the Golden Contamination Core.

The condensation speed of the tenth ring was accelerating, its color significantly more radiant than the previous nine; the golden ring was like a sun inlaid with a gold rim, impossible to look at directly even with sunglasses.

Dawn broke, and the sun rose in the east.

The commotion here attracted quite a few zombies; they dragged their feet, making "hungry," "hungry" sounds in their mouths.

Further away, a zombie leader paused and watched from afar; realizing these were people they couldn't afford to provoke, it retreated silently.

"Let's go, find a secluded place. The battle here has already attracted many onlookers."

"Yang Shuang, you're in charge of leading the way."

Yang Shuang nodded; a detection machine about the size of a hummingbird flew from his right shoulder, its wings beating silently, and it vanished in an instant.

They were still on the periphery of the Pollution Zone, where radiation in the air was relatively low, having little impact on signals.

Soon, the hummingbird transmitted high-definition images, which Yang Shuang received.

"Follow me, there are only insignificant zombies on this path," Yang Shuang said, leading the way.

Zheng Peng carried Xu Jingzhe, his eyes dark.

He felt a blockage in his heart; he knew he didn't get along with Lu Fei because of Qin Shuang, yet the person who saved him was still Lu Fei, which felt even worse than losing to Lu Fei earlier.

Ahead, an abandoned unfinished building appeared, with many zombies walking around it.

The group entered the nearest building, and Zheng Peng set Xu Jingzhe down.

"Zheng Peng, Yang Shuang, check the surrounding abandoned unfinished buildings to see if any Contaminators are living there."

"Binger, rest well and check your heavy sniper rifle."

"Since we know we are weak, we will train properly in the Pollution Zone; we cannot let people look down on us."

The failure of the first battle did not dampen Qin Shuang's fighting spirit; instead, it ignited her determination. When had their Qin Family ever been weaker than other families?

As a core member of the Qin Family, she carried the family's mission; being behind was not terrible, but knowing you were behind and just lying on the ground without running was.

Qin Shuang sat beside Xu Jingzhe, looking at his peerlessly handsome face, her heart aching.

Why was he always getting hurt? Last time it was an anti-aircraft gun that cost him half his life, and this time it was a bomb... Fortunately, he was wearing the Second-level Alloy Battle Suit.

Ten minutes later, the two returned.

Zheng Peng brought bad news: in a building not far away, he had discovered signs of Contaminators living there.

In one of the buildings, on the thirteenth floor, there was a large pile of acorns and a campfire.

"The Contaminators on the periphery of the Pollution Zone are not strong; killing them is meaningless. As long as they don't bother us, let them be," Qin Shuang said.

In the distance, on a small hill with lush foliage, Zhang Manyue was lying there with a heavy sniper rifle on her back, quietly watching everything near the abandoned unfinished building.

Deep in her pupils, points of light shone, even more radiant than before.

Since separating from Xu Jingzhe, she had been wandering the Pollution Zone for several months, still not finding her "true" self; as for why she wanted to protect Xu Jingzhe, she also hadn't found the answer.

In the 8x scope, blue, tiny numbers for wind speed, humidity, and distance were displayed; she slowly moved the muzzle, aiming at Qin Shuang.

A person was lying on the ground, just blocked by Qin Shuang's back; only the lower body was visible.

Zhang Manyue's index finger moved slightly, holding her breath; just as she was about to pull the trigger, Qin Shuang stood up.

She saw that peerlessly handsome face lying on the ground!

Her index finger remained very steady, staring blankly at him.

In his sleep, Xu Jingzhe had a dream again; a large, furry hand gripped his neck, and even though he struggled desperately, it was useless; his neck was snapped off.

The person who saw his own neck being snapped off was still himself, sitting on a chair, leisurely drinking tea.

Then, the self drinking tea was shot in the head by someone; the self eating a chicken leg on the side watched with his own eyes as the tea-drinking self was shot in the head, eating until his mouth was full of grease...

Xu Jingzhe opened his eyes abruptly!

He stared fixedly at the dilapidated cement slab above, covered in a thick layer of dust and spiderwebs.

In his mind, the system's voice sounded simultaneously.

System: "Ding."
