Chapter 330 Dodder in the Apocalypse 39
The woman looked at Feng Yan and the others and said, "I just heard you say you were going to a military base? I visited that military base not long ago."
"If you're thinking of joining the army, forget it. That base has already been taken over by a powerful mutated plant."
She glanced at the grass as she spoke, then added, "It's a bloodthirsty mutant plant."
Feng Yan frowned, his expression turning somewhat grave.
Yun Qing held the bowl and looked at the woman, smiling as she said, "Thank you for reminding me, sister. Sister, that dim-witted pretty boy just now is no match for you at all. Next time, find someone more handsome and well-behaved!"
The woman was taken aback.
While no one would say anything about her keeping a gigolo and changing him from time to time, she still received a lot of strange looks.
She thought that someone like Yun Qing, who was pampered and naive, and who was always in love with her boyfriend, should look down on her and think that she had tainted their beautiful love.
But judging from her attitude, she was quite calm, showing no disgust, contempt, or criticism.
Moreover, despite her seemingly naive and innocent appearance, she appeared to have already grasped her intentions.
When she said that, wasn't she just trying to distinguish herself from the gigolo she used to keep, implying that they wouldn't hold her responsible for what he did, and that the feud was over?
She wondered if she was overthinking things, and glanced at Feng Yan again.
However, Feng Yan had no time to worry about past grievances. He stared at Yun Qing, his voice heavy, "Qingqing, you..."
Before he could even speak, Yun Qing immediately picked up a piece of meat for him and quickly said, "You're the most handsome, the most obedient, and I love you the most!"
Feng Yan was shut down by her. He frowned and looked at her for a while before she managed to coax him back.

After a short rest, the woman led her team away. The mall had already been cleared out by Feng Yan and his men, and they would gain nothing by staying any longer.
Feng Yan did not change his route because of the woman's words; he still decided to go to the military base.
Yun Qing noticed that he seemed to have something on his mind.
When they were alone at night, Yun Qing sat cross-legged on the bed and asked, "What's wrong?"
Feng Yan isolated the space, casually tossed the grass out, and then sat down on the bed. He glanced at Yun Qing, hesitating slightly, mainly because Yun Qing was timid and he was afraid he would frighten her.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yun Qing lowered her eyes and asked in a low voice with a look of disappointment, "Am I really useless?"
"I can't do anything, I'm incapable of helping you with anything, no wonder you're unhappy and don't want to talk to me about anything..."
Feng Yan reached out and pressed his finger against her forehead. "Stop."
Yun Qing sniffed and looked up at him. "So, are you going to tell me or not?"
Tears were already welling up in her eyes, and they could fall at any moment.
Feng Yan: ...
"I won't say anything if you cry."
Yun Qing immediately wiped away her tears and put on a show of listening attentively.
Feng Yan sighed and said, "The military base is full of trained soldiers, and they also have weapons and equipment. Even if there are more zombies at the beginning because of the concentration of people, it is not possible for it to fall easily."
"Among those who survived, there will definitely be a group of people with superpowers."
"Even if that bloodthirsty mutated plant is very strong, the army should not have been completely wiped out and the base should have been captured when facing it."
Feng Yan paused for a moment before continuing, "I now suspect that the base was already deserted before it was taken over by the mutated plants. So, where did all those soldiers go?"
"It's been so long since the apocalypse began, and we've seen all sorts of people along the way, but we haven't seen a single soldier yet, which is quite strange."
“Under normal circumstances, they should have come out to help the people long ago.”
"So... I have some bad suspicions."
Yun Qing pursed her lips and asked, "Do you think they have something more important to do?"
Feng Yan nodded. "The apocalypse we are seeing now is one where zombies eat people, and the zombie virus can infect normal people, animals, and plants."
"But what if there are even more terrifying things happening in places we can't see? So terrifying that all soldiers have to go all out to secure a glimmer of hope for the people?"
"For example, what was the reason for the sudden arrival of the apocalypse?"
Yun Qing felt a little heavy-hearted; Feng Yan's guess was not without reason.
Given the conduct of Chinese soldiers, in a world facing such a massive catastrophe and with people suffering so much hardship, it would be impossible for soldiers not to step in and organize a rescue effort under normal circumstances.
Feng Yan reached out and patted her head, comforting her, "Don't be afraid, these are just my guesses, maybe I'm overthinking it."
Yun Qing nodded, her face serious, and said, "I will work hard to cultivate!"
In essence, the original novel's plot can be summarized as follows: the female protagonist is reborn, and together with the male protagonist, they kill zombies, fall in love, improve their strength, establish a survivor base, create a small haven in the apocalypse, and force other survivor bases to submit to them. Then, the two live happily ever after, and that's the end of it.
Although it was mentioned that human life would get better and better, the novel didn't go into the specifics of what would happen next.
The male and female protagonists had never thought that far ahead.
I never imagined that in a country as rich in talent as China, it would end up with two students becoming the highest leaders.
After all, the female lead is a chosen one who is reborn and has a spiritual spring space, and the male lead is also exceptionally talented. He is the strongest superhuman besides the female lead, who is a bug in the system. It seems reasonable for them to become leaders of humanity.
Oh, we can't directly call them human leaders, because the novel doesn't mention the situation abroad at the end.
?
Yun Qing kept her word; she not only began to cultivate diligently herself, but also urged the others in the team to do the same.
Early in the morning, Qi Renyang and Zhou Yue were fighting over meat buns when Yun Qing walked up to them and asked quietly, "Little Qi, Brother Zhou, have you mastered any new moves? Have your superpowers been upgraded? Have you awakened any new superpowers?"
Qi Renyang and Zhou Yue looked at each other, then the two of them, with four hands, held the meat bun and handed it to Yun Qing, saying, "Sister-in-law, please eat!"
Yun Qing: ...I'm telling you to work hard to improve yourselves, not to steal your steamed buns!
She turned and walked over to Big Yellow, saying, "Big Yellow, you see how hard our team works every time we harvest zombie cores. You can put your psychic abilities to good use!"
"You can try controlling the crystal cores to fly out on their own. At first, try controlling just one. Once you're skilled, you can try two or three flying out at the same time. In the end, with just one thought, thousands of crystal cores will fly to you. Just imagine how cool that would be!"
Big Yellow stuck out its tongue and panted, seemingly persuaded by her, and barked excitedly.
Yun Qing then turned to Yao Xi, "Sister Yao, aren't you quite sensitive to supernatural abilities? With some training, you should be able to determine the type and level of someone's supernatural ability just by looking at them, right?"
"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle!"
After saying that, she picked up a blade of grass at her feet and said, "Little grass, you have to work hard too, you know? Don't just think about giving me your energy, you have to improve yourself too."
Xu Yang was initially dismissive of Yun Qing's long string of nonsense, thinking that she was just trying to show off her status as the captain's wife.
As she listened to the end, she suddenly became alert.
What kind of energy? What kind of energy could that weed give her?
The energy that can be used to enhance its own power is the spiritual energy in its space, isn't it?
Xu Yang was so angry she almost vomited blood. So, all this time, that weed had not only been absorbing the spiritual energy from her space, but it had also been using her spiritual energy to nourish Ruan Yunqing?!
