With a cold and angry voice, Fu Chen made several people feel a sense of fear they had never experienced before. Even in the face of extreme danger, he could remain calm and composed, but now he had lost control because Xiao Yang had brought Bai Qingqing onto the car.
Everyone in the team had a serious expression, and Shen Mingxuan crossed his arms, looking at Xiao Yang as if he could foresee how Xiao Yang would be beaten up with a nosebleed once Bai Qingqing was discovered.
Fu Chen had explicitly said not to bring Bai Qingqing onto the car, but this kid Xiao Yang had to go against him and bring that woman along.
Bai Tiantian blinked her eyelashes and turned to Shen Mingxuan, asking, “Captain, will he hurt Qingqing?”
She was genuinely worried about Bai Qingqing. Since the captain had decided to leave her at the survivor base, there was no need for her to insist on getting on the car. The City of Death was a place of no return, and there would be no benefit for her to follow along.
Unless there were people she cared about in the team, but didn’t she like Cheng Rui?
Shen Mingxuan’s face remained calm as he said, “When Fu Chen gets angry, even I have to be cautious around him. As for whether he will punish Bai Qingqing or not, I can’t say for sure. Liang Zhiyu, what do you think?”
Liang Zhiyu casually replied, “Bai Qingqing is Fu Chen’s sister. Even if he’s angry, he would only scold her a bit and wouldn’t harm her.”
Xiao Yang had a cold expression on his face, a hint of anger in his eyes, and he started knocking on the door again urgently. “Brother Fu, come out! I didn’t bring Qingqing onto the car.”
Although he didn’t know how Bai Qingqing had managed to hide, since Fu Chen hadn’t found her right away, it meant that she had hidden herself well. He needed to first appease the enraged Fu Chen.
There was a loud knocking sound from outside the door. Fu Chen stood inside the room, using his psychic powers to their maximum extent, searching every inch of space. However, there was no trace of Bai Qingqing’s presence in the entire modified RV.
Bai Qingqing, who was in the space, could also sense the situation outside. Fu Chen was very angry, on the verge of exploding. Fortunately, her spatial ability had reached level five, otherwise, he would have caught her.
Regardless of how angry her brother was, as long as she didn’t show herself, he couldn’t do anything to her. She decided to stay hidden in the space for now. She was afraid that the Big Boss would be so angry that he would tear her apart. Going against his orders wouldn’t lead to a good outcome.
She leisurely stayed in the space, picking up a small bucket to water the mutated fruits and vegetables she was growing. Xiao Zicao followed her, mimicking her actions with a small iron bucket in hand.
The two of them were busy watering the spiritual field in the space, thoroughly enjoying themselves, while the atmosphere outside was extremely tense.
Fu Chen remained in the cramped single room, recalling Xiao Yang’s strange behaviour over the past two days. He bent down and pulled out a box from under the bed, his gaze nearly piercing through it.
Before the Thunder Team left the survivor base, Xiao Yang had brought the box onto the car. Since each team member liked to keep their personal belongings, no one paid much attention to it.
Fu Chen stared at the box, his handsome face turning dark. This was how Bai Qingqing had been brought onto the car.
For the past two days, she had been staying and eating together with Xiao Yang. The place was so small that if she stayed in the room, she would have to sleep with Xiao Yang on the narrow bed, both of them squeezed together.
No wonder he had a bad feeling. When he barged into Xiao Yang’s room, the bed was so messy. She was lying there at that time, but when she heard the commotion, she hid herself.
Fu Chen’s eyes were filled with gloominess. If he wasn’t currently trying to find her, he would have gone out and beaten Xiao Yang right away.
How dare he? How dare he take Bai Qingqing away from the safe area and hide her?
Fu Chen gritted his teeth, his anger building up like a raging beast colliding in his heart. He had the urge to tear people apart and consume them.
“Qingqing, come out,” he restrained his anger and decided to coax her out first. He wouldn’t give up until he found her. “Brother won’t blame you.”
There was still no response in the room, as if it had never been occupied.
Outside, Xiao Yang continued knocking on the door. “Brother Fu, Qingqing is not in the room. I didn’t bring her onto the car.”
Fu Chen no longer believed his words and said in a low voice, “Qingqing, do you remember what you told brother? You said you would be obedient, you would listen.”
His tone carried an order, “Come out first. Brother really won’t hurt you, nor will he send you back.”
Thunder Team had spent some time dealing with the Ye siblings’ matter at the Yaoyang base, and the modified car was already close to Wudou. They wouldn’t be returning along the way, so if Bai Qingqing was on the car, what could he do to her?
He had learned that Xiao Yang had secretly hidden her away and had already lost control, almost going crazy. He wanted to beat Xiao Yang half to death.
His sister wasn’t obedient, she needed to be taught a lesson. But more importantly, Xiao Yang, his comrade, needed to be taught a lesson. If it wasn’t for him secretly helping, Bai Qingqing wouldn’t have been able to easily sneak onto the car.
The City of Death was dangerous, and with Bai Tiantian, an unpredictable factor, he would have heartlessly left her at the Yaoyang base.
“Qingqing, didn’t you listen to brother’s words? Resting uncomfortably with Xiao Yang on the same bed, brother can arrange another place for you to stay.”
Inside the space, Bai Qingqing put down the small bucket and doubted whether Fu Chen was trying to trick her out. He was so fierce and hateful, and upon learning that she had deceived him together with Xiao Yang, he would definitely teach her a lesson.
If she didn’t go out, she wouldn’t go out.
“Yiyiyi, master, come here,” Xiao Zicao tugged at her pants.
“Where to?”
Bai Qingqing was led by Xiao Zicao around a spiritual field and arrived at another field where chili peppers were planted. In just one day, the red peppers grew to be as tall as a child of eight or nine years old. They were truly mutated plants.
These peppers became more and more like anthropomorphic plants from anime as they grew. Each pepper closed its eyes and swayed with the gentle breeze in the space. No one knew when they would ripen.
Bai Qingqing suddenly had a wild idea: Can mutated plants eat zombies?
She remembered that when Fu Chen protected her and they fell off a cliff together, there were many skeletons next to the plant he destroyed. It was obvious that they were the remains of people or animals that had been eaten.
If mutated plants could eliminate zombies, wouldn’t she be able to cultivate an army of plants?
Xiao Zicao circled around a mutated red pepper, making whimpering sounds for a while, not knowing what it was trying to convey. Suddenly, it jumped up and bit the pepper, taking a bite and then spitting it out with disdain.
“You!” Bai Qingqing was speechless and touched the bitten pepper pitifully. She flicked Xiao Zicao’s head with her finger.
Xiao Zicao’s head buzzed, and it whimpered, “Not tasty.”
Bai Qingqing held it up and admonished, “Don’t bite them randomly, understand?”
“Ouch,” a tender child’s voice suddenly sounded.
Bai Qingqing immediately looked over and saw that the pepper, which had been bitten by Xiao Zicao, opened its watery eyes and said, “It hurts!”
“!” Bai Qingqing let go of Xiao Zicao. “You’ve matured?”
Forgive her for being too surprised. The little pepper’s feet were still buried in the black soil, clearly indicating that it was not yet fully ripe. The other pepper plants were still sleeping.
The little pepper seemed to only know how to say one thing, sounding pitiful, “It hurts!”
Bai Qingqing felt helpless and glared at Xiao Zicao. She picked up a ladle to pour water on the pepper. It seemed that the water in the space had a healing effect. After pouring water on it several times, the pepper’s wounded area grew new flesh and healed.
It no longer felt pain, closed its eyes again, and swayed along with its fellow peppers, as if enjoying itself.
Bai Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and walked through her spiritual field, studying the mutated fruits and vegetables she was planting. She hoped these crops would grow quickly and become something powerful for her.
…
Xiao Yang barged into the room and saw Fu Chen standing by the bed. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked, “Brother Fu, did you find Qingqing in my room?”
Fu Chen gave him a cold glance.
Xiao Yang smiled and said, “Alright, let’s go. We’re heading to Wudou, aren’t we? If we don’t leave now, we won’t make it there by tomorrow.”
Liang Zhiyu and Shen Mingxuan looked around the empty room. Even with Fu Chen’s psychic ability, they couldn’t find Bai Qingqing. Could it be that they were all mistaken, and Xiao Yang didn’t bring Bai Qingqing onto the car at all?
Unfortunately, Liang Zhiyu thought to himself, he thought Xiao Yang would bring Bai Qingqing along. If she had come with them, the journey wouldn’t have been so boring.
Shen Mingxuan snorted coldly and went downstairs. Bai Tiantian stood at the door, glanced at Fu Chen with a touch of disappointment in her eyes, and turned to leave as well.
The modified car restarted and sped on the highway. In the distance, they could see the vast wilderness, and the magnificent city was enveloped in white mist, resembling a scene from an anime.
If people saw such a view, they would surely take out their phones and capture the beautiful scene.
However, the people in the car were not in the mood to appreciate such beauty.
True to its name, Wudou was a city shrouded in mist. It would take a long time for the psychic team to walk out of it once they entered. Wudou was rarely touched by sunlight and had become a paradise for zombies. Besides zombies, there was nothing else there. The fog obstructed visibility, and danger lurked everywhere.
…
Nightfall covered the land, and tonight, the eerie and beautiful red moon rose. The wasteland was silent.
Xiao Yang was about to return to his room when someone grabbed the back of his collar. He turned around and met Fu Chen’s cold and indifferent gaze.
“Brother Fu, what’s the matter?” He forced a smile.
“Come with me,” Fu Chen pulled him away from the car and walked a short distance.
Xiao Yang’s smile faded from his face. “Brother Fu, what do you want to say?”
Fu Chen directly punched him in the face, causing him to stagger back a few steps, almost falling to the ground.
Xiao Yang used his tongue to touch the painful cheek and sneered, his eyes defiant. “You’re taking it out on me just because you couldn’t find her? If you wanted to take her with you, you wouldn’t have left her at Yaoyang Base.”
Fu Chen grabbed Xiao Yang’s collar, his voice low and menacing. “The little wolf cub has grown up and learned how to bite. Xiao Yang, do you know why I didn’t bring her with me?”
“You will kill her.” Fu Chen’s voice was cold and stern.
Death City is extremely dangerous, and this kid has no idea. Only he knows that it will be their future grave. The most powerful and terrifying creatures in the world are there.
Only by eliminating them and finding the source of the virus can they possibly save humanity.
Xiao Yang wiped the blood off his mouth and stubbornly said, “So what? Even if I die, I want to die with her.”
He sneered at Fu Chen, his eyes filled with rebellion. “Fu Chen, Bai Qingqing is not your real sister. You have no right to interfere with her, or is it…”
Xiao Yang punched Fu Chen in the face, pressing him, “You never treated her as a sister. You’re selfish and want to possess her.”
If he had no ulterior motives, why did he lie to him and say that after they returned to Jingzhou Base, he would let him be with Qingqing, knowing that Qingqing didn’t want to be with Cheng Rui and leaving her with Cheng Rui instead?
Xiao Yang grabbed Fu Chen’s collar in retaliation, his face filled with anger as he questioned, “Am I right, Fu Chen? Tell me the truth!”
