Ch. 37

The truck stopped on the Bai Ze Expressway for a temporary rest.
　　

The adjutant had a brief conversation with Yin Chong, then went back to discipline the group of healthy recruits and silently distributed bread and water to them.

The fingers that Lou Ai raised trembled slightly, and when they fell on the Sanshi's shoulders, they were indeed gentle and firm.
　　

"Let's go." Lou Ai said softly.
　　

"Okay." Sanshi stood up with Lou Ai without any hesitation and walked out, his fingertips stained with an ominous blue-gray color.
　　

Lou Ai hugged him and jumped out of the car, then ran quickly in the direction away from the convoy.
　　

Only after running far enough did Lou Ai stop and look at the guy with the crewcut head. Her eyelids twitched, but she had no tears.
　　

"Sister Lou Ai, am I going to become a zombie?" Sanshi smiled bitterly, the muscles on his face twitching unnaturally. He raised his hand and rubbed his face, staring at his fingers in a daze. "I can't feel the temperature anymore. It's so strange. It turns out that the process of becoming a zombie is so uncomfortable. No wonder Grandpa Xia deliberately pretended to be a human. I just thought about it for a moment, but it's useless to just fight for the right to become a human a little bit. I also have to gnaw on my companions' bodies. I don't want to become like that. I don't want to become that kind of monster. Sister Lou Ai, kill me now. I want to go on as a human."
　　

The guy kept mumbling, wishing he could say everything he had to say in his life: "Actually, I secretly opened my eyes just now, and I saw some of my companions turned into zombies. I also saw you taking away the bodies of several of my companions. You must have killed them, right? Well, I hope to die with dignity, so Sister Lou Ai, please let me kill them with one knife!"
　　

"Okay." Lou Ai said in a hoarse voice.
　　

"Also, my injury has nothing to do with Xia Xing. It was my own carelessness. If I had your strength, Sister Lou Ai, I wouldn't have been tricked by Yun Xi."
　　

"If he really feels bad, he should go visit my sister more often." The crewcut-haired man took out his trouser pocket and handed all the sundries inside to Lou Ai. "Sister Lou Ai, my belongings are all in the tent and I can't take them out. Here are a few crystal cores, please give them to my sister. If she doesn't have to support me, my brother-in-law will definitely not be so unhappy all the time."
　　

"Okay." Lou Ai took them.
　　

"I'm getting more and more unwilling to give up. Let Sister Lou Ai come here." The guy with the crewcut head began to twitch uncontrollably.
　　

Lou Ai clenched the spear in her hand. Among the whole five-member team, she taught Little Sanshi the most. Yang Yang used his superpowers, Xia Xing was good at using firearms, Little Glasses and Xia Lu had relatively mediocre fighting talents. Only Little Sanshi was of the same stick heritage as her, so naturally, she devoted the most effort to teaching him.

"Or you can choose to live." Lou Ai said impulsively, "Don't worry about turning into a zombie. High-level zombies are intelligent. We will definitely be able to research a zombie vaccine by then. I will find you, give you the injection, and let you return to human society."
　　

"What are you talking about, Sister Lou Ai? After I become a zombie, I will be your enemy." The crewcut-haired guy shook his head and said, "I never want to stand on the opposite side of humans. Sister Lou Ai, please say hello to Yang Yang and the others for me, and help me build a grave. When I think about not having a grave after I die, I feel uncomfortable all over. Isn't it often said that the best thing to do is to be buried in the ground? I can't live without a grave! I will be very satisfied with this."
　　

"Yeah." Lou Ai responded. Sanshi was fighting the zombie virus. He could no longer stand, so he simply lay down on the road.

"Okay, then my wish has been fulfilled. Sister Lou Ai, hurry up and kill me with one ruthless blow." The crewcut-haired guy closed his eyes, "I'm ready."

Lou Ai felt a lump in her throat, frowned then smiled, and replaced the spear in her hand with a machete, the tip of which was very sharp.
　　

"Sizzle." The slightly gray blood from the aorta spurted out from the neck of the man, and flowed all over the ground without being able to be covered.

"I'm sorry, I may not be able to do what I promised you." Lou Ai stuffed the crystal cores that the man gave her into his mouth one by one. She also added a few crystal cores from the superpowers and took a small purple flower from the star maker and stuffed it into his mouth. His cheeks were now bulging like a flour bag that had been filled with a lot of things. "This is a little selfish wish of mine."

Lou Ai glanced at the wound. If he turned into a zombie quickly, the wound would not be fatal, and the crystal core in his mouth would be just the basis for upgrading.

If the blood sheds first, then you are truly dead as a human being.

It was a pity that there was no grave. Lou Ai took out a white down jacket from her own space, covered the man with it, and tucked in the corners of the jacket.

Lou Ai stood there silently for a long time, until the pressure from her body scared the zombies around them so much that they dared not come over. Then she said goodbye and turned away. One thing was certain: even if Sanshi turned into a zombie, the chance of them seeing him again would be pitifully small.
　　

Not long after Lou Ai left, a three foot high little ghost zombie came up to the guy with the crewcut head and babbled, tilted his head and made two "ah" sounds, then found Lou Ai nowhere to be found and made two more "ah" sounds in confusion, then sat down with a plop, picked out a crystal core from the guy's mouth, and swallowed it. After eating, he smacked his lips and sat down next to the guy with the crewcut head, looking very happy.

Lou Ai naturally didn’t know what had happened to the little brat, as she had just returned to the convoy.
　　

What he saw was the crazy Xia Xing, who pulled out a pistol like a madman.
　　

"Damn it, you did it on purpose. You deliberately pulled Sanshi down, you despicable villain." Xia Xing got to know Yun Xi after he joined the army. Although he had heard of General Yun's grandson before, he had never met him. After they met, he took good care of him because Yun Xi's health was not as good as his.
　　

"F#ck it, if you think I did it on purpose, then I did it on purpose?!" Yun Xi's cheeks were flushed with anger, "Is it wrong for me to be afraid of mice? I was just careless. How could I have known that it would cause such serious consequences? I already blame myself enough." Yun Xi covered his face and cried, "Shoot me, kill me, I did it on purpose." Yun Xi's hands trembled slightly. He just couldn't stand Xia Xing. Why did his father never praise him, but praised Xia Xing again and again? He just couldn't stand it.

　　

"Xia Xing, put down your gun. This is not a joke." A new recruit next to him kept trying to persuade him.
　　

Yun Xi clenched his fingers into fists, why why?
　　

Yun Xi rushed forward, snatched the gun from Xia Xingxing's hand, and then punched Xia Xing.
　　

Xia Xing started tearing and biting, abandoning all fighting techniques, and started punching Yun Xi to vent his anger.
　　

——Don’t blame Xia Xing, it’s not Xia Xing’s fault.
　　

But if he hadn't arranged it that way, Sanshi would definitely not have been injured. With Sanshi's abilities, he would definitely have survived this war.
　　

Lou Ai could understand Xia Xing's feelings, so she did not stop Xia Xing and Yun Xi from fighting.
　　

Yin Chong also did not stop them, but just ordered: "After they are done fighting, apply medicine to them and send them to our wounded vehicle."
　　

Lou Ai hugged her spear quietly, the spear helped her calm down.
　　

When Xia Xing and Yun Xi got in the car, they were almost unrecognizable. The adjutant had studied medicine, so he gave the two of them a quick check-up and left them alone since there wasn't any major problem. After the two got in the car, they quietly sat at the two farthest corners of the car.
　　

"Sister Lou Ai, I will definitely avenge Sanshi in the future." Xia Xing was silent for a long time, then said, "Zombies, rats, and Yun Xi are not good people."
　　

Lou Ai embraced Xia Xing, took out medicine from her backpack, and carefully applied the medicine to Xia Xing.
　　

"Oh, it hurts so much." Xia Xing muttered, tears streaming down his face.
　　

That night, Lin Ze, Meng Langlang and Meng Linlin came to find Lou Ai and Yin Chong.
　　

Lou Ai silently drew some features that they had not noticed on the paper that Meng Langlang took out.
　　

If the country had known about the crisis in Daejeon County in advance, perhaps many dangers could have been avoided.
　　

Yin Chong's army returned to Qiang'an base in the evening of the next day. As soon as they returned to the base, Xia Xing and Yun Xi were picked up.
　　

The location where Yin Chong’s army was isolated was not the same as Lou Ai’s.
　　

Lou Ai received the tent number and sat quietly in the tent. When she left, the appearance of the Qiang'an base had changed a lot. The animals and plants that could be seen everywhere were gone. Looking over from the tent, the surrounding trees had shifted back nearly the distance of a football field. Looking around, there was only bare mud all around, and only the central avenue was paved with fine gravel.
　　

The Qiang'an base has become uglier, but also safer.
　　

Forty-eight hours later, the next morning, Lou Ai returned to her rental house tiredly. There was no sign of Xia Lu in the house. Xia Lu should still be outside and had not returned.
　　

Lou Ai covered her cheeks tiredly, flopped back onto her big bed, and rolled herself into the quilt.
　　

After two hours of silence, the doorbell rang.
　　

“Ding Dong~” 

“Ding Dong!”

Lou Ai sighed, got up and opened the door, and saw two unfamiliar men outside.

One of them was wearing a military uniform and looked very nervous, while the other was wearing a casual coat. When both of them saw Lou Ai, their eyes suddenly lit up.
　　

"Who are you?" Lou Ai asked.
　　

"Hello, you must be Lou Ai, right? I'm from the superpower team at the Qiang'an base."
　　

"I am a soldier in the military." The two men stretched out their hands without giving in to each other.
　　

Lou Ai looked at the two hands in front of her, raised her left and right hands at the same time, and shook them.
　　

The young man in the jacket spoke first, "I have heard of you for a long time. The person in charge of our base has arranged the environment of the Qiang'an base according to the conditions you gave. People in our special ability team often discuss in private that your special ability is divination-type."
　　

The man in military uniform also put on a proper smile: "Hello, our army's Yin Chong squadron recommended you to us. I was sent here to contact you. He said that you are very powerful with a long gun and are very suitable for training new recruits. If you join the military with a recommender, you don't need to start from the bottom. You can directly serve as an instructor."
　　

"F#ck, you're too cruel to offer her to directly become an instructor." The man in the bread coat touched his nose, "I can also help you become a team leader."

　　

The two men looked at each other, and Lou Ai seemed to see sparks flying in the void.
　　

"How about you come in and sit down and talk?" Lou Ai said.

　　

"No need, Lou Ai. Our special ability team is well-treated in the entire base." The man in the flat jacket said, "Not only do we get rice and noodles every month, we also get free water. Those who need to queue up can use this privilege to get in directly. The most important thing is that everyone in our special ability team is superstitious. Your special ability will definitely become our most popular special ability. You are so beautiful, you might even become our team's flower."
　　

"As for the various benefits he mentioned, our army's benefits are no less than those of the superpower team. We also have various mechanical firearms that can be obtained for free, and various medical facilities that can be tried for free. Our army is definitely the safest place." said the man in military uniform.
　　

Lou Ai looked at the neighbors walking up and down: "..."
　　

"Have you seen the current environment of the base? There is not a single bug to be found within a ten-mile radius. This is all done by our superpower team." The man in the coat straightened his chest and never mentioned any complaints while working. "If you had joined the superpower team in time, you could have inspected the environment of the base in advance!"

"Did you find the wrong person? I didn't give this order." Lou Ai said in surprise, "My ability is not divination."

"Heh." The man in military uniform chuckled, "Lou Ai, your strength abilities will definitely be fully utilized in our army."
　　

"Wait." Lou Ai had a blank expression on her face. "Who told you that I have superpowers?"
