Stealing Pens: Travelers from the End of the World

Chapter 250 9 years old

At the age of nineteen, Qin Yuchen was already as tall as Zhang Qiling.

They repeated their lives every day. On the day when Qin Yuchen turned nineteen, he passed by an alley and saw an old lady sitting there enjoying the cool air. She stopped him and wished him a happy birthday. Only then did he realize that he was one year older.

When they returned to the small western-style building, the three people in the building were already waiting inside. Sun Pan used the saved ingredients to make a simple bowl of longevity noodles for Qin Yuchen.

After Qin Yuchen expressed his gratitude, he shared the food with the three of them, feeling a moment of peace.

Nineteen-year-old Qin Yuchen is no different from before, except that he smiles more often than before.

When others make jokes, he will also give a very faint smile and chat with his teammates for a while.

But his attack hadn't changed at all, and was even more ruthless than before.

His teammates who often act with him also have some of his ruthlessness.

Especially a man named Xiao Lu.

This Xiao Lu was one of the first people in the base. He had a good relationship with Qin Yuchen and could always be seen around Qin Yuchen.

The three people from Suzhou South were also very nice to Xiao Lu.

I heard that he and Suzhou Nan used to be comrades-in-arms. When they met again after retiring, it was the end of the world.

Then a few people gathered together and started to act.

Xiao Lu is also very nice to Qin Yuchen. Whenever he comes across something new, he will go to the small western-style building to share it with Qin Yuchen first.

So when going on a mission, besides Suzhou Nan and the other two, there was Xiao Lu.

Zhang Qiling didn't know how to evaluate this person.

In fact, he never had a very deep impression of Xiao Lu. The first time he noticed this person was when Suzhou Nan and the other three did not act together with Qin Yuchen, and Qin Yuchen asked them to split into three groups and go in three directions.

Xiao Lu was the captain of one of the groups, so Zhang Qiling looked at him a few more times.

After that, Zhang Qiling would notice Xiao Lu from time to time, and felt that some of his unconscious behaviors were very similar to a lively version of Qin Yuchen.

When I was nineteen, something big happened.

Qin Yuchen and Meng Luocheng disappeared for a month while on a mission.

A month ago, Meng Luocheng and Qin Yuchen separated, and Meng Luocheng led a group of people to take the route they often took.

Qin Yuchen went alone to a place he didn't often go to.

The places they often go to can no longer find anything, so someone needs to explore new places.

So Qin Yuchen, as usual, went alone to open the way first, and after the road was explored, he took a team to mark it.

That's how the two teams encountered different situations.

A few hours after Meng Luocheng left the base, he encountered a zombie siege.

The densely packed zombies pushed and shoved each other, blocking two streets.

Hearing the sound of the car, the group of zombies swarmed over as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Meng Luocheng immediately ordered the vehicles to separate and drive away, so as not to let these things discover their base.

Fortunately, the cars have been modified, and there is also a small road pusher, so it is not a problem to escape the encirclement temporarily.

After breaking out of the encirclement, four or five cars stepped on the accelerator, turned into a new road, and drove away without looking back.

When the team was surrounded, some people returned alive, but several also died.

Those infected by the zombies tacitly left behind everything they had, jumped out of the car while the virus had not yet completely invaded their brains and they still had a shred of sanity, cut off the bitten parts as much as possible, and then hacked each other to death.

When the teammates who escaped from the encirclement brought back the news, Qin Yuchen and Meng Luocheng still had no news.

The usually optimistic base was lifeless. Sun Pan was guarding the gate of the supervision area, and Suzhou Nan was standing on the city wall, looking at the increasingly dilapidated houses in the distance.

And Qin Yuchen was carving a mark in the corner.

He didn't know what happened in Meng Luocheng, but his beating heart and panic made Qin Yuchen sensitively realize that something was wrong.

Qin Yuchen suppressed his panic, sat down in the corner, opened the simple map in his hand and confirmed that there were enough places for them to visit several times.

As I watched, I couldn't suppress my irritability.

Qin Yuchen let out a breath, put the map away, and simply closed his eyes to relax.

A flash of lightning split the darkness, and heavy rain swept across the earth without warning, followed by bursts of thunder.

The zombies not far away were shaken by the thunder and started roaring loudly, but the people in the corner were completely unaware.

Zhang Qiling leaned quietly against Qin Yuchen. He reached out and gently stroked Qin Yuchen's furrowed brow, even though the person in front of him couldn't see or feel him.

But he still wanted to do it.

If possible, Zhang Qiling would like to hug Qin Yuchen directly at this moment.

Qin Yuchen came to this place alone. He went to all the places he could go. He was relatively calm some time ago, but since the past two days, his frown has never relaxed.

The hostility that had not appeared for a long time reappeared in his eyes, and he saw the zombies change from deliberately avoiding him to directly picking up the knife to chop him.

This change was not without reason. Zhang Qiling understood it, and Qin Yuchen himself understood it too.

The thunder and raindrops grew louder and louder, and lightning as bright as daylight flashed outside the window. Qin Yuchen had almost recovered, opened his eyes and stood up.

He went down the stairs he had come from, killed a few zombies on the way, got into the car in the rain, and drove towards the base.

The heavy rain continued to fall, but Qin Yuchen did not go back to the base directly. Instead, he walked towards the same path that Meng Luocheng had taken.

Driving from night to day, Qin Yuchen took a short rest among a bunch of disabled cars and continued to look for Meng Luocheng.

He searched along the route Meng Luocheng might have taken. When he arrived at the place where a large number of zombies died, the emotions that he had suppressed with great difficulty surged into his heart again.

Qin Yuchen did not stop and continued to walk away, chasing the corpse.

When he came across the almost eaten remains, Qin Yuchen realized that he had not taken the wrong path.

It lasted another day and night.

Qin Yuchen arrived at a gas station and saw Meng Luocheng's car parked next to the gas tank through the hazy rainy night.

Qin Yuchen put on his hat, got out of the car and cleared out the few zombies wandering around in the rain.

Then I went to the car to inquire.

The car wasn't badly damaged by the zombies, but the rear tire was completely ruined.

There was no one in the car. Qin Yuchen tried to pull the door, but it was locked tightly.

He looked around and finally walked into the convenience store next to the gas station.

There were also piles of zombies with their heads blasted apart at the entrance of the convenience store. Qin Yuchen took a look and decisively chose to climb in through the window.

As soon as I entered, my feet were covered in sticky liquid.

Qin Yuchen frowned and was about to step on the zombie's clothes to wipe them when he heard a faint groan.

Qin Yuchen instantly tensed his back, held the knife in reverse and followed the direction of the slight movement.

Passing through rows of shelves, muffled groans were heard along with the sound of thunder, and Qin Yuchen also saw the person he had been looking for.

"elder brother."

Qin Yuchen quickened his pace and squatted next to Meng Luocheng in a second.

A thick rope connected Meng Luocheng's waist and feet. Judging from the knot marks, he should have tied it himself. His right hand was completely broken from the arm, and wrapped with clothes to serve as a simple hemostatic effect.

The left hand held a knife, but was also bound by a rope.

"elder brother."

Qin Yuchen screamed again, put down the knife and tried to deal with Meng Luocheng's injuries in a panic.
