I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

After hiding in the office for two days, Qin Zhong and Xiao Yingyong finally recovered their strength and returned to their peak condition.

Of course, he was not idle during these two days. First, Qin Zhong asked Xiao Yingyong to stay and he went to Monkey Mountain alone. After all, Xiao Yingyong was injured, and it would be easier for Qin Zhong to escape if he encountered danger if he was alone.

Compared with the aquarium, under the shadow of the end of the world, Monkey Mountain has long lost its former vitality and vigor, and has fallen into a deep depression.

In Monkey Mountain, Qin Zhong found the ring according to Sun Xiaoyan's reminder, which also proved that Sun Xiaoyan's previous guess was reasonable.

Secondly, Sun Xiaoyan returned to Kyoto and took advantage of the continuous thunderstorms to send some of the supplies he had collected, as well as some crossbow arrows and steel balls, to Qin Zhong via his mobile phone.

This is also thanks to the heavy rain in recent days. I don’t know if it is God crying for the misery of human beings in the end times.

On this day, the well-educated Xiao Yingyong couldn't resist her active nature and insisted on going out to take a look. Qin Zhong couldn't stand her, so the two of them had breakfast, took enough crossbow arrows and steel balls, picked up two high-powered flashlights, and left the office and came to the corridor.

At this time, the typhoon outside had passed, and the dome sky was a clear blue, with a few birds occasionally flying by. Looking through the transparent glass on one side of the corridor, one could see the depths of the entire aquarium, which was still as dark as ever.

Leaning against the window and looking deep into the aquarium, Xiao Yingyong saw a number of zombie corpses floating on the surface of the water. He muttered to himself, "Those crocodiles bit the zombies to death, why don't they eat them?"

Qin Zhong touched his chin, thought for a moment, and said uncertainly, "You don't think zombie flesh tastes bad, do you?"

Xiao Yingyong nodded in agreement, thinking that Qin Zhong's words might be the real answer, but then she frowned and said, "Brother Qin, if crocodiles and pythons don't eat zombies, what else do they have to eat?"

Qin Zhong walked to a piece of transparent glass, shone the flashlight downstairs, and soon got the answer. Not only were there corpses of zombies floating on the water, but also the mutilated bodies of sharks and other marine fish.

Needless to say, it seems that pythons and crocodiles must be eating these dead marine creatures these days.

"These guys are so picky..."

Xiao Yingyong suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and shuddered. He looked at Qin Zhong with a terrified look in his eyes: "Brother Qin, after they have eaten the dead fish, they won't come up to eat us, will they?"

Qin Zhong smiled and raised the crossbow in his hand: "Do you know why I didn't take you with me when I went to Monkey Mountain? Because we didn't have complete equipment, and we only had enough to arm ourselves. Now that we are fully equipped, we are not afraid of them in the water, so what are we afraid of now?"

Qin Zhong's words cheered Xiao Yingyong up. Seeing a crocodile lying on a large rock downstairs, he aimed through a piece of broken glass and said, "Yes, I'll kill this crocodile first."

Qin Zhong pressed the crossbow that Xiao Yingyong was aiming at and said with a smile, "Don't worry."

"why?"

Xiao Yingyong looked at Qin Zhong curiously, not understanding why Qin Zhong didn't let her kill the crocodile.

Qin Zhong's brows relaxed as he pointed at the dead fish floating in the aquarium and said with a smile, "Let them act as scavengers first. Otherwise, just imagine how many dead fish there would be in such a large aquarium? If it stinks... hehe... we'll both stink to death!"

In order to obtain prey more conveniently, these giant pythons and crocodiles almost all stayed in the aquarium, which had almost no impact on the two people in the office area on the second floor.

Qin Zhong considered that he would have to stay here for a few days, so there was no need to provoke these big guys. The last experience in the water made him understand one thing: even if he had Sun Xiaoyan to replenish his equipment, he could not waste it indefinitely.

Otherwise, like last time, you will encounter some unexpected events and all your equipment will be wasted, which can be fatal.

……

"Brother Qin."

Seeing Xiao Yingyong seemed to be hesitant to speak, Qin Zhong patted her head and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you always speak your mind? Why are you being so shy?"

Xiao Yingyong hesitated for a moment, then looked at Qin Zhong and said, "Brother Qin, my injuries are all healed. I want to go to the Hang Lung Building right away."

Qin Zhong glanced at Xiao Yingyong and sighed, "Xiaoying, there's something I want to say, even though you may not like it. Your mother won't be there."

Xiao Yingyong did not reply, but just pursed her lips and stopped talking. It was obvious that deep down she was unwilling to believe that this statement was true.

Qin Zhong shook his head and advised, "Look, the water on the road is almost as high as a person after the rain a few days ago. Stay for two more days. After the water recedes, I'll go with you to take a look."

At this moment, there are fewer zombies outside the aquarium, and they are basically scattered throughout the zoo. Qin Zhong calculated that it would take at most two days for the water on the road to recede, and then they could set off.

After walking around for a while, the two returned to the office and turned on the camp light that Sun Xiaoyan had sent over, illuminating the entire office. Because the office only had one security door, as long as it was closed, the place would be airtight and there was no need to worry about light leaking out.

It’s a pity that the camp lights use lithium batteries and cannot be turned on all the time, otherwise there is no place to charge them. After all, half a year after the end of the world, the electricity in most areas of the Magic City has been cut off.

Although Sun Xiaoyan could also get a generator, this was just a temporary base after all, so there was no need to go through so much trouble.

Qin Zhong looked at the various ingredients piled on the table, then looked at Xiao Yingyong and said with a smile, "Xiaoying, let's have hot pot tonight."

Sun Xiaoyan had put a lot of thought into preparing supplies for Qin Zhong. He had all kinds of supplies, even fresh vegetables, bean sprouts, meat, ham, luncheon meat...

If Qin Zhong and his companions had limited space to carry, Sun Xiaoyan would have wanted to empty the entire supermarket and send it to Qin Zhong.

Xiao Yingyong just said "hmm" absentmindedly. Qin Zhong knew that she couldn't let go of her mother, and he didn't know how to comfort her. He thought that only time could slowly dilute the emotion, and people always have to face reality.

After dinner, the two had nothing to do, so they played the playing cards that Sun Xiaoyan sent them, and they played until late at night.

The next day, after waking up, Qin Zhong opened his eyes and looked at his watch. This luminous watch was specially prepared by Sun Xiaoyan. It was said to be a world-famous brand with many functions, the most important of which was waterproof.

When Qin Zhong looked at the time on the watch, he was slightly surprised. He had slept for such a long time that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

"Xiao Ying."

Qin Zhong stretched his limbs and slouched. In the pitch darkness, he lazily called out, "Are you up yet?"

The office was completely silent. Qin Zhong called out twice more, but when no one responded, he couldn't help but mutter, "Why are you sleeping like a dead pig?"

After saying that, Qin Zhong fumbled to turn on the camp light. The light filled the room. He saw that there was no one sitting on the sofa in the opposite corner, only a piece of white letter paper on the sofa.

Seeing all this, Qin Zhong was slightly startled, and a thought flashed through his mind: "Oh no, things are going to get bad."

Qin Zhong took the letter with a serious expression. Sure enough, there were only a few words on the paper: "Brother Qin, I went to Hang Lung Building to see my mother. Don't worry, I will be back in three days at most."

Furious, Qin Zhong crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it on the ground, cursing, "You little bitch, you really don't know your place. You think you can do whatever you want just because you killed a few zombies. You really don't know how terrible the end of the world is."
