The system pits me and destroys the heroine

Under the clear water, corpse puppets are emerging one after another. They frantically chased the living people on the partition, flopped several times in a row, sank again, stepped on the body of their companions, and surfaced again.

Xia Ningle leaned in Si Qinglian's arms. The moment she fell just now, she felt for a moment that she would not survive, and would be pressed and bitten under the water like the previous guards. The rest of her life at this moment made her whole body trembling.

This is the second time that death is so close to him. After Xia Ningle calmed down his fear, he stood firm and said, "I'm fine, thank you, Your Highness."

Si Qinglian let go of his hand and shouted, "Get out of here quickly, and don't pay attention to the corpse puppets."

The guards yelled yes, they hit the corpse puppet's head with the clapboard feet, and then moved quickly. Although the short [-]-meter journey was difficult, fortunately, the corpse puppet also crawled in the water besides holding the clapboard. Not coming up, after being hacked to death by the guards, everyone left smoothly.

The corpse puppets that were thrown off could only flap their limbs, and then some corpse puppets sank under the water again, waiting for the living people passing by next time. Xia Ning was happy to see this scene, and frowned deeply.

Those corpse puppets had wounds on their bodies. It stands to reason that with so many corpses sinking in the water, the water source should be infected. Even if fish can avoid infection, it doesn't mean that people will be fine after drinking the water.

"Drink some water!" Si Qinglian handed her the water bag.

While thinking, Xia Ningle drank the water Si Qinglian handed over to her. Seeing her absent-minded look, Si Qinglian asked, "Scared?"

"No, Your Highness just noticed that the number of these corpse puppets is enough to infect the water source in this area, but the fish we ate raw last night were directly fished out of the sea, but we were fine."

Si Qinglian nodded.

Xia Ningle went on to say: "Maybe if the disease source on the corpse puppets wants to survive, they can only stay in a specific environment. At least they cannot survive in water, but the human body can make them grow."

"It makes sense." Si Qinglian said.

Many people around her could hear her words very clearly. Those students especially felt that Xia Ningle was very observant, but they couldn't be sure that the water was safe just by guessing.

One of the students said, "Let me try." He reached out to catch some water in the sea and drank it directly.

The people around him didn't have time to stop him, so he waved his hand and said: "I have been studying for several years in order to serve the country. Now that our family and country are in trouble, we are all responsible. If I become a monster, you don't have to show mercy. "

Xia Ningle was deeply impressed by the students' lofty ambitions. At least they really wanted to save the country, even if they sacrificed their own lives. He just wanted to go home, but he never wanted to die.

She said: "There are many ways to serve the country. If you die, how can you save the country? If you want to know whether the water source is infected, we can catch some small animals for experiments in the future. Don't be so reckless in the future. You are still young and are the country's leader." future."

The student was taken aback, thinking it made sense, but in this way, if he himself was really going to be infected, wouldn't he be called stupid and reckless, and there was a bit of crying in his words: "Miss Xia is right, Then I... I won't be so reckless in the future."

Xia Ningle smiled, as a reassurance to the other party: "It will be fine." At least in the novels currently provided by the system, there is no problem with the water source.

Si Qinglian felt that Xia Ningle was too dazzling and suppressed her radiance, but she didn't hate it, on the contrary, she admired it very much. She looked down at the water bag in her hand. Ning Le drank it, and was drunk by herself more than once.

I feel that the tasteless water is very sweet.

Want to drink a few more sips.

The next waterway was fairly smooth. At night, Si Qinglian still used Xia Ningle's legs as pillows. Dong'er sighed at Si Qinglian's changes from time to time, which made Xia Ningle feel very embarrassed.

In the middle of the night, when it was Xia Ningle's turn to rest, she had a nightmare, dreaming that the young faces of the two of them turned into blurred lumps of flesh, biting her, and she biting Si Qinglian again, and finally completely annihilated.

This nightmare was like the lingering trouble in Xia Ningle's heart, so that she trembled all over, and when she opened her eyes, she still hadn't recovered for a long time, fearing that the dream would come true in the future.

"Is it okay?" Si Qinglian asked, staring at her pale lips.

Xia Ningle sat up, feeling weak and tired. The clear nightmare seemed to have scared her out of her mind. She shook her head after a long time and said, "I'm fine."

"Your Highness..." Dong'er suddenly covered her stomach, "I ate too much raw fish last night, my stomach hurts... I want... to go to the bathroom."

After she finished speaking, she let out a loud and long fart. Dong'er's face was flushed, he hesitated and couldn't speak, Xia Ningle made a rescue in time, and said, "Let's go ashore. We've been floating in the sea. It's really dangerous." Inconvenient, besides, I also want to go to the bathroom."

Si Qinglian nodded: "Go ashore."

There was still a day's journey away from the North Sea, but everyone had to go ashore early due to their personal health. Geng Zhi and the guards were guarding around the forest, and everyone looked for a place to relieve themselves.

It took the longest time for Dong'er to have a stomachache, and Chun'er was not far away to accompany her. Fortunately, the bushes in the forest were quite tall and became a natural barrier, otherwise Dong'er would definitely die of embarrassment.

When everyone came back, Geng Zhi took the two of them to carefully inspect the surroundings. After confirming that it was safe, he picked a lot of wild fruits. Xia Ningle's system identified each of these wild fruits and confirmed that they were all edible. So I ate it with confidence.

After eating sashimi for two consecutive days, the sweet fruit in my mouth undoubtedly satisfied everyone's taste buds. Occasionally, a few sour fruits became a good condiment.

The students who drank seawater are still alive and well. Xia Ningle pondered for a moment. She was thinking that since mammals can be infected, only the brain is suitable for the survival of the zombie virus. Destroying the head is equivalent to destroying their living place. Animals such as chickens, ducks and fish may not only have brains that are not suitable for survival, but may also be unable to survive because of other physiological structures.

When Xia Ningle was thinking about these things, the system also recorded and analyzed her. More specifically, she had to catch a corpse to see, especially why infected pregnant women gave birth to healthy children. wonder.

"What are you thinking, so engrossed?"

Xia Ningle briefly narrated what was in her heart. She looked around the quiet forest, and said, "Let's continue on the waterway!" This forest felt more dangerous than the waterway.

After hearing Xia Ningle's conjecture just now, Si Qinglian also knew why she suggested taking the waterway. She said, "Everyone take a break first, and we will continue to take the waterway later."

"Yes."

During the break, Geng Zhi was not idle. He cut some branches, wrapped them in rags, and made simple torches. However, the team did not bring much oil, so they could only make six.

Xia Ningle took off her shoes and socks and drifted at sea for two days. Her clothes never dried. Everyone imitated her by taking off her shoes and socks and baking them next to the bonfire with branches. Everyone's feet were soaked If you get pale, you will naturally be able to do it for a while at the moment.

Si Qinglian's feet were beautifully shaped, and her round fingers were soaked pale, as if she had suffered a serious illness, which made people feel a little distressed. Chun'er took a clean veil and placed it under her feet to care for her carefully.

When the sun went down, Geng Zhi lit the torch, everyone put on their shoes and socks, and was about to go up the partition, when there were some weird sounds in the silent forest, as if something was approaching here leisurely.

Geng Zhi looked back with a torch, the farther away the fire was, the more difficult it was to illuminate, which made the depths of the forest look like a huge abyss, eerie.

"Your Highness, there seems to be something in the water."

Geng Zhi shines the light of the fire on the water surface again, the corpse puppets from the upper reaches of the river are slowly floating, intermittently, I do not know how many more, one of the corpse puppets grabs the partition while flapping its limbs, and is thrown into the water by Geng Zhi with a stone.

"Your Highness, these people seem to be the people of Northern Xinjiang."

It will take at least two days for the corpse puppet to float down from Northern Xinjiang. In other words, a large-scale infection has already broken out in Northern Xinjiang at this moment. It is no wonder that Northern Xinjiang has not sent people to pick up Si Qinglian for so many days.

Si Qinglian's eyes looked deep: "There is no way to go through the waterway, take the partition and follow me into the forest."

"Yes."

Geng Zhi walked in the front and was responsible for leading the way, the guards carried the partitions and walked on both sides, and the students held torches to light the way.

Si Qinglian glanced at Xia Ningle, the fire reflected on her face, the looming red lips appeared more vivid and attractive, Si Qinglian looked away, and said, "Do you still remember the formula I taught you earlier?"

"Well, remember."

"This formula can be used not only for running to adjust breathing, but also for archery or when you are nervous. This is a skill that all martial arts practitioners will know. Let it become a part of you and it will be of great use in the future."

What Si Qinglian meant was to let Xia Ningle practice the formulas all the time, no matter what he did, so that they would be engraved on his body instead of in his mind.

"I see."

Xia Ningle gradually adjusted her breathing, allowing her steps to follow her breath, Si Qinglian's eyes did not hide her approval.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps, Geng Zhi pulled out the knife at his waist, pointed the torch forward, and a figure appeared suddenly, Geng Zhi swung the knife without hesitation.

"Ah! Don't..."

The voice belonged to Song Yuhang, he seemed excited and frightened, and perhaps there was a lot of sadness, his words became incoherent: "It's me... I'm still alive... Woooo..."

Song Yuhang's face was covered with mud, and his clothes couldn't be seen as bright as before. He was still holding a sheep in his hand, and then sat on the ground howling and crying. Xia Ningle ran up and saw that Yu'er in his arms was safe and sound, he was relieved At the same time, my heart was full of doubts.

She asked, "Why are you here? Where are the others?"

"Wow!" Song Yuhang cried and said, "Don't mention it, He Shikun is not a person. He killed all the people in the boat. The village chief and I escaped together. Who knew there were a group of ghosts in the sea. I swim fast. ...but the village chief just..."

The implication is that the village chief is also dead.

Xia Ningle's heart sank for a while, and in the end, there was still no one alive in the entire village, the only difference was that Yu'er was still alive, which was the greatest comfort to her heart.

She thinks that everyone's destiny can be changed.
