End of the World Cycle

The closer you get to your destination, the worse the road conditions become. Two hundred kilometers may not seem like a long way before the end of the world, but now it seems like an insurmountable chasm.

Many places along the way were closed to vehicles, making it difficult to transport goods back to the base. The three men carefully recorded the places where the roads were broken, and it took them three days to walk the 200 kilometers, stopping and starting.

Along the way, apart from He Tianqi's small base, there was no one to be seen. Although the surrounding vegetation was lush, the dilapidated buildings made it look desolate.

Because it was so quiet, all noises were very obvious. When the car roared, Xie Qin instantly caught sight of the movement three hundred meters away.

There were quite a few people, 21 of them, all of them were psychics, and all of them were rank or above. One of them was even a rank dual-system psychic. Such people were rare at this time.

You have to know that there are only a few officials who are above level 5 except for the core members of their own base. So this group of people is most likely from the official side.

Maybe because he had a filter for official people, Xie Qin didn't take much precautions and went straight towards the group of people.

The road condition was bad, so the three of them drove a small off-road vehicle towards that direction, until they turned around the foot of a mountain, and the group of people appeared in Xie Qin's eyes, and his pupils shrank.

They were a group of well-equipped people driving armored vehicles. Although they were all wearing camouflage combat uniforms, there was no logo of any military region. The logo on the body of the vehicle was a white tiger's head, and the badge on these people's right arms was also a white tiger head.

[If I remember correctly, the base that Ning Cheng and the others later established was the White Tiger Base, right? ]

[Yes, that fifth-order dual-element psychic is Jiang Shan, the male protagonist of Ning Cheng's book.]

Jiang Shan also noticed Xie Qin and looked over here, but the sunlight was too glaring and he couldn't see clearly what was going on in the car. Xie Qin stopped where he was and Jiang Shan had no intention of coming over.

The group was resting in place, and everyone was eating lunch boxes. Xie Qin looked at them and could tell at a glance that Jiang Shan's physique was different, and it was obvious that he had been transformed by the spiritual spring water. Ning Cheng should still be recuperating in her space. The child was already grown up, and even induced abortion would cause irreversible damage to the body.

Ning Cheng could also feel that the baby in her belly was strong. Plus, she had been pregnant for so long that she felt a little reluctant to give it up. Since it was only about a month left, she planned to give birth to the baby.

Therefore, Jiang Shan and Ning Cheng should still be out of touch at this time. His physique could only have been transformed by Ning Cheng more than two years ago.

He built a base even without Ning Cheng, and it seems that he was out hunting crystal cores. The Jiang family was a famous arms dealer before the end of the world, and as the chosen male protagonist, his personal physique and external conditions are also impeccable.

There are also various supporting players, such as Jiang Shan’s aunt, who is a famous biologist and has her own team. At this time, she should have also developed something similar to supernatural supplements.

Although the purity is not very high, it is still very useful for low-level psychics.

It was half past ten, not even time for lunch. The group was resting at the foot of the mountain, and a few were sorting out their equipment, giving Xie Qin the feeling of preparing for battle. If you have doubts, ask for confirmation.

The powerful mental force went up along the foot of the mountain and began to capture the anomaly. Sure enough! There was a fourth-level mutant plant in the mountain. Xie Qin didn't plan to spend time to get the fourth-level mutant plant, after all, he had other things to do.

But just as he was withdrawing his spiritual power, he saw a group of fast-moving things running down the mountain. As he watched more carefully, he realized that the number of them was astonishingly large, as if they were coming out from the ground one after another.

The mental fluctuations are different from zombies, humans, and mutant plants, so there is only one possibility! It is a mutant animal.

"Back up! Go." There were too many of them, and Xie Qin suddenly felt something was wrong.

"It's too late." Amu said, motioning Xie Qin to look back.

Xie Qin looked back and saw densely packed crawling things surrounding them from behind. Jiang Shan and his group also noticed it. The scene instantly became chaotic. These mutant animals were coming for them.

Looking closely, they were red ants the size of an adult's palm. They were all first-order animals that had just mutated. The pair of curved prongs on their mouths were reflected by the sun and looked very sharp. Although these ants were not very lethal, they were so numerous that they could easily get caught if one was not careful.

Looking at the ants pouring out from the mountains and the ground, Xie Qin felt like he was going to have intensive phobia. He thought about just going straight into the space.

But Xie Qin couldn't ignore the noise coming from afar. There were fire-type mutants on the opposite side, and several walls of fire had protected the group of people, but the walls of fire were not made of iron after all. The ants kept rushing in, and they couldn't burn them all. The people inside used lightning and wind blades to cut them, but there was no situation like the previous small base with mutants flying around.

Instead, they cooperated and killed them alternately, and it seemed that they were not struggling. Fortunately, these ants were also sane, and the ants that had already climbed onto the car body were easily controlled by Shui Limu and retreated.

After the car body was clean, Shui Liqing put his hands on the car body, and instantly the ants seemed to be unaware of them and flew under the car towards Jiang Shan and the others who were not far away.

There was no threat, so Xie Qin just liked to watch the fun. Watching the people fighting in the distance, from being at ease to being exhausted, this process made Xie Qin dare not underestimate these ants.

Finally, Jiang Shan's gaze fell on Xie Qin. The distance was not far, only about a hundred meters, but he was tall and stood on the roof of the car, so he could see Xie Qin clearly. He watched those ants passing through Xie Qin's car without any intention of attacking. He always felt that it must be safe next to Xie Qin.

Seeing that some of the team members had been bitten by red ants, he was sure that if he didn't find a way to leave, he might not be able to leave. Looking at the tires that had been bitten by red ants, Jiang Shan frowned. There was still a car in the space of the space team members, but seeing that there were ants around about 200 to 300 meters, it was undoubtedly impossible to let it out and escape in the car.

Then he took another deep look at Xie Qin and decided to take a gamble! He bet that the area around the SUV was safe!

Xie Qin watched as a huge ball of lightning burst out, bouncing away the surrounding ants. Twenty-one people gathered together and were all wrapped up in the ball of lightning.

Just when Xie Qin was wondering what Jiang Shan was trying to do by struggling to support the lightning barrier, she saw this huge ball of lightning running towards her!

As the distance got closer, the power of the lightning ball became weaker and weaker. At the beginning, the ants would be electrocuted into charcoal when they touched it. In the end, the lightning ball was almost covered with ants and turned into an ant ball. It stopped in front of his car.

After the thunder ball weakened, several fire pillars spurted out from it, scattering the ants. A group of people neatly surrounded Xie Qin's car. They were very close.

Sure enough! These ants lost their target in an instant and stopped where they were. The ants with antennae waved their antennae as if they were looking for something, but they couldn't find anything. They were busy circling in the same place.

Jiang Shan heaved a sigh of relief. He almost fell down on the front of the car. But he didn't dare to leave the car. He had a hunch that if they didn't touch the car, the money ants would definitely find them.

Before he could catch his breath, the car suddenly started. Jiang Shan had no time to react, so he held the front of the car to the driving position and anxiously tapped the window.

The car windows are anti-peep glass, so I can't see who is inside.

Shui Limu turned on the car lights and looked back at Xie Qin, asking her what she meant. Seeing Xie Qin nodded, he then opened the car window.

A pair of gray eyes fell into Jiang Shan's eyes, and Jiang Shan's heart tightened. No matter how good-looking the man in front of him was, he could tell at a glance.

This is a zombie!!!
