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

"pain……"

It was unknown how long it took before Xiao Li woke up from the cold and lonely darkness. He felt the severe pain in his head, shook his head, and tried hard to open his eyes.

Then, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a dark shadow very close to him.

Recalling what happened before he fell into a coma, Xiao Li was shocked and suddenly raised his right arm, grabbing towards the black shadow's head with an eagle claw.

"boom!"

Xiao Li's attack did not have any effect. With a dull thud, his half-raised hand was pinned to the ground by the other hand, unable to move.

Feeling that his right hand was restrained, the unyielding Xiao Li gritted his teeth and began to struggle frantically. He thought that if the other party wanted to kill him, he would have to pay the price.

It was with this crazy idea of ​​dying together that Xiao Li's struggle became more intense. At the same time, a flame of unwillingness burned even more fiercely in his heart.

"Captain Xiao! Captain Xiao! It's me, it's me! Qin Zhong!"

As Xiao Li continued to struggle, his blurry hearing gradually recovered a lot, and then a clear and loud voice came into his ears.

Qin Chong, brother Qin Chong!

After hearing Qin Zhong's call, Xiao Li's brain, which was as muddy as a paste, began to slowly wake up.

Then, he blinked hard and looked at the dark shadow. As his eyes focused, Qin Zhong's blurry face gradually came into his sight.

“Brother Qin…”

Looking at Qin Zhong's face full of concern, Xiao Li suddenly felt weak all over. Then he slowly relaxed and lay on the ground, muttering Qin Zhong's name.

"Captain Xiao, what exactly happened?"

Looking at the exhausted Xiao Li, Qin Zhong frowned and asked, "Why did you suddenly leave the team? If I hadn't heard the gunshots and rushed over, I'm afraid you would have been eaten by zombies."

"Zombies..."

Hearing Qin Zhong's words, Xiao Li turned his head with difficulty and looked around. Sure enough, less than two meters away from him, several pieces of zombie limbs that had been chopped into pieces were scattered on the ground.

"Monkey and Wolf Fang...how are they doing?"

At this moment, Xiao Li didn't care about his own escape from death at all. With a hint of regret and urgency, he asked: "Have they already..."

"Don't worry, they're fine, they were just knocked unconscious."

Qin Zhong shook his head and asked softly, "Captain Xiao, can you tell me what exactly happened to you? Also, why did you suddenly leave the team?"

"us……"

Hearing Qin Zhong's question, Xiao Li hesitated for a moment before speaking with a guilty look on his face, "We came out to look for the essence of the meteorite. Since we were going to Su City soon, we wanted to extract the essence overnight and take it with us. However, after I extracted the essence, I was stopped by a strange man. He was unable to stop me and knocked me unconscious."

"Oh my god! You're all injured, why do you want to come and collect the essence yourself? Wouldn't it be safer if we collect it together?"

Hearing Xiao Li's words, Qin Zhong frowned. "Also, you said that after you took the essence, that weirdo stopped you. So it seems that his goal is the essence in your body. Hurry up and check to see if the essence is still there and whether he has taken it away!"

"Yes, the essence!"

After hearing Qin Zhong's words, Xiao Li finally regained consciousness. He quickly reached out and touched his chest, but this touch made his heart completely cold.

It’s over, the essence is gone!

……

"Brother Qin...the essence...is gone!"

The loss of the essence of the meteorite dealt a heavy blow to Xiao Li, who was already physically injured.

Filled with shame and anger, he said something to Qin Zhong with a flushed face, then spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted again.

He sacrificed so many brothers and put in so much effort, but unexpectedly, in the end, his mission still failed!

"Captain Xiao, Captain Xiao!"

Seeing Xiao Li fainting again, Qin Zhong's heart tightened, and he touched Xiao Li's heart. It was not until he felt Xiao Li's strong heartbeat that Qin Zhong's slightly guilty heart slowly relaxed.

He silently muttered in his heart: "I'm sorry, Captain Xiao, I have my own difficulties. These six essences are just borrowed from me. If possible, I will definitely return them to you!"

Thinking of this, Qin Zhong looked up at Xiao Yingyong, Pan Hongwei and others who were following him and said, "Xiaoying, follow me. The others will send Captain Xiao back to the temporary gathering place. I'll go see if the people who attacked Captain Xiao are still there!"

Having said that, Qin Zhong winked at Pan Hongwei and others, then took Xiao Yingyong and ran towards the dark street in the distance.

"Let's go back to the gathering place!"

Having someone carry the unconscious Xiao Li on his back, Pan Hongwei looked in the direction where Qin Zhong disappeared, with a barely perceptible smile on his lips.

Brother Qin is a really good person. Not only is he loyal to his brothers, but his strength is also beyond reproach.

The most rare thing is that he is not pedantic and is scheming. Following such a big brother, those who follow him should have a much safer life in the future.

"Whoosh!"

On the other side, with the sounds of two breaking through the air, Qin Zhong and Xiao Yingyong's bodies stopped steadily on a street less than a hundred meters away from where Xiao Li was attacked.

Qin Zhong sensed his surroundings, then looked towards a five-story building on the side of the road and said, "Jumou, come out! They've all left."

"Yes, Master!"

As Qin Zhong finished speaking, a hoarse and dry voice suddenly came from the silent building on the side of the road.

Then, a short strange man carrying a huge shield slowly walked out of the building and appeared in front of Qin Zhong.

Seeing a strange man she had never seen before, Xiao Yingyong frowned slightly, subconsciously took a step forward, opened her hand, and a fireball appeared in her palm.

"One of our own!"

Qin Zhong reached out to stop her. Xiao Yingyong hesitated slightly, but out of trust in Qin Zhong, she waved her hand, and the fireball disintegrated into countless sparks and disappeared.

"your eyes?"

At this moment, Qin Zhong finally set his sights on the strange man. When he saw the flying knife stuck in his eye socket, he frowned slightly and asked, "Did Xiao Li hurt you? Are you okay?"

"It's okay. It's just a body anyway. As long as my main body is alive, I can always replace it with another one. Besides, as long as I'm here, even this body will slowly heal."

The weirdo shook his head and pulled out the sharp blade from his eye socket. He wiped the hideous wound and the gushing black blood casually without caring, then took out an ink cartridge from his pocket and handed it to Qin Chong.

"Master, I have accomplished my mission and got the things."

"Well done! Don't worry, I won't break my promise to you! Here, this is your reward!"

Feeling the life energy faintly coming from the ink cartridge, a hint of excitement flashed across Qin Zhong's face. The last three portions of meteorite essence were finally in his hands. He threw a third-level crystal core to the weirdo.

The strange man stretched his neck and swallowed the crystal core into his stomach. He smacked his lips and said with a smile, "Master, I still prefer flesh and blood. Next time, can you reward me with a flesh and blood body? It doesn't have to be human, a mutant beast will do too!"

Qin Zhong frowned slightly, but then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll remember it when I have the chance in the future!"

"Hey! Thank you, master!" The weirdo responded with a smile.
