Chapter 220: The Sword-Blocking Beauty in the End Times (19)
It was three days later when we arrived in Beijing.
The chaos in Tianjin City was even more serious than when the end of the world just came. Along the way, Gu Zhen and Qi Qingyuan saw many military personnel who were cooperating with the psychics to wipe out the zombies.
It should be the Beijing city officials who stepped in.
When they arrived in Beijing, they found that it was indeed the country's political center. Compared with the Guangming Base, it was both formal and humane.
The official base is named "First Base". Vehicles or people passing through only need to register and do not need to pay tickets. People with special abilities and ordinary people also live separately, but the conditions are not much different.
Everyone can take on tasks to earn redemption coupons, which are a bit like the food coupons of the 1960s and 1970s, and are still very standardized.
The missions, in addition to killing zombies and taking crystal cores, also include simple tasks such as clearing roads and planting crops, which are very suitable for ordinary people who have no self-protection ability.
In the early stage of the apocalypse, normal life of human beings was well guaranteed. Although other disasters continued to come in the middle and late stages, this buffer period also bought everyone time to resist.
Gu Zhen is very satisfied with this place.
Qi Qingyuan is still a little thin now, but fortunately he is not so skinny. He looks like a handsome and weak young man, fair and clean, standing there coldly and attracting attention.
Gu Zhen also changed into clean clothes. It took them three days to walk such a short distance from Tianjin to Beijing, which showed how difficult it was. Her clothes were dirty and stained with scraps of meat.
Compared to her simple and rough way of killing zombies, Qi Qingyuan's method was much cleaner. All he needed was a pair of sharp eyes to make the zombies kill each other obediently.
Gu Zhen was very envious and jealous about this.
The two men parked the car and walked to the entrance of the base to register. When the staff there heard Qi Qingyuan's name, their mouths opened wide and they screamed "Ahhh" for a long time before picking up something like a walkie-talkie.
"Professor Qi is back!"
Gu Zhen curled her lips at Qi Qingyuan and said, Beijing City has been waiting for Professor Qi to come back. Look, everyone in Beijing City probably knows Qi Qingyuan's name.
Qi Qingyuan smiled gently and rubbed Gu Zhen's hair.
After spending these days together, he has gotten to know Gu Zhen. She is a girl who looks delicate but is actually very resilient. She is kind-hearted but principled. Sometimes she is naive and ignorant of the ways of the world, but she is very clear-headed when it comes to big things.
"I will probably be joining the research institute in Beijing. I will be very busy in the coming time, but I will find time to come and see you."
Qi Qingyuan went to university at the age of fifteen and entered a secret research institute in China at the age of twenty-two, where he devoted himself to research for five years. However, all his results were leaked by corrupt senior leaders, leading to this disaster that destroyed all mankind.
He had never met a person of the opposite sex like Gu Zhen in his life, but after just a dozen days, he was reluctant to part with Gu Zhen.
Gu Zhen tidied her bangs, apparently she was used to Qi Qingyuan messing up her hair from time to time.
"You go ahead and do your thing. I also have a lot of things to do!" Gu Zhen had wasted a lot of time for him. Although it was still a long time before Feng Lin's death in the plot, she didn't want to worry about it any longer.
And the heroine Shi Ran, I don’t know how strong she has become.
Qi Qingyuan looked at Gu Zhen tenderly with a smile in his eyes. After he was settled, he would strive to get some benefits for Gu Zhen within his ability.
"Oh, by the way, when you go back, you must pay more attention to the changes in the end times," Gu Zhen said seriously, "I always feel that it won't be so easy for humans to win."
Qi Qingyuan understood. He was aware of his research results. The current zombie mutation was only the first step. They would continue to evolve, and animals and plants would also mutate to varying degrees.
Even the weather seemed a little strange.
He remembered that when he was imprisoned, it was just the beginning of summer. It should be autumn now, but the temperature was still very high and there was no sign of coolness at all.
Seeing that he knew what was going on, Gu Zhen didn't say much. He was a smart man.
After the two of them had registered, they were chatting and laughing while waiting for the base officials to pick them up, when a loud excited shout came from inside the base gate.
"Ahhh Zhenzhen! You're still alive!"
Gu Zhen was also very surprised. She turned around and saw that it was Ning Ning. She had become tanned again, and her black and white eyes were full of joy after a long separation.
Standing next to Ning Ning, besides Jiang Yi, Zhuang Heng, and Duan Yanpu, there was also a beautiful woman with a ponytail, an oval face, and big, round eyes.
Gu Zhen's eyes darkened. Isn't this Shi Ran? Did she meet the male lead's team again?
There was no time to take care of her at the moment, because Ning Ning had already rushed over and gave Gu Zhen a big hug. Listening carefully to her voice, she was still a little choked.
"Zhenzhen, it's great that you're still alive! I thought you died in Jincheng. You little bitch, if you dare to act on your own again, I'll skin you alive!"
Gu Zhen's eyes were sore, and she hugged Ning Ning tightly: "I'm sorry Sister Ning, I made you worry, I won't dare to do it again!"
Ning Ning pinched Gu Zhen's chubby face fiercely, still not satisfied, and twisted her waist again: "You were so anxious that I couldn't sleep for several days!"
Gu Zhen's eyes were filled with tears, and she hugged Ning Ning and acted coquettishly and naughtily.
Jiang Yi and his companions could not hide their excitement and came over to greet Gu Zhen, especially Jiang Yi, whose face, which had been as cold as ice for thousands of years, finally showed some emotion.
The longing and worry in his eyes became real. He stared at Gu Zhen closely, one hand clenched tightly in his trouser pocket. Thousands of words were stuck in his throat, and finally turned into one sentence: "Are you okay?"
Gu Zhen wiped her tears and pulled over Qi Qingyuan who was standing silently beside her: "I'm fine. Look, I brought Professor Qi back!"
Jiang Yi and Qi Qingyuan looked at each other, and then somehow looked away from each other.
Duan Yanpu smiled and poked Gu Zhen on the forehead: "You, couldn't we have gone to rescue together at that time? You had to act on your own. Do you know how sad we have been these days?"
Gu Zhen clasped his hands together and said pitifully, "I know I was wrong, Brother Duan. I'm back safely, right?"
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Zhuang Heng touched his bald head naively. He was also worried about the safety of this little sister.
"This is Professor Qi. You are finally back. The highest bounty mission in our base is to find your whereabouts. Now, Zhenzhen has done a great contribution!" Duan Yanpu took the initiative to extend his hand and shake hands with Qi Qingyuan.
Qi Qingyuan smiled calmly: "This time, thanks to Zhenzhen's help, otherwise I would have died in Tianjin. I will ask my superiors for credit for Zhenzhen."
Duan Yanpu smiled even more happily.
Gu Zhen didn't listen to their conversation carefully. She had been secretly paying attention to Shi Ran. Seeing that she was pretending not to know her and standing aside, there was a flash of shock in her eyes.
He must be wondering why she didn't die?
Gu Zhen snorted inwardly and pretended to be surprised: "Huh? A Ran! Why are you here?"
