Chapter 37
writer:临渊慕鱼      update:2022-07-22 17:49
  After visiting the exchange market again, Yan Hanqing’s hand had a machine gun and a type 54 pistol. The majority of police officers within the country used a 9mm revolver pistol. The killing ability of this kind of gun was practically a pain in the butt. It had an effective firing range of fifty metres. People struck from five metres or more basically would not fear any deadly wounds, not even mentioning firing it against zombies.

  Compared to a type 54 pistol, a 9mm revolving pistol was basically pistol suited for a daughter from an influential family. After walking around in a circle, did Yan Hanqing fish out a type 54 pistol from within a pile of 9mm revolver pistols.

  Actually, Yan Hanqing was very dissatisfied. He was accustomed to using guns like the m500 where they had tremendous firing power. Now having to change to a type 54 pistol he really wasn’t able to adapt to it. However under these circumstances, just having a gun for self protection concerning people with no superpowers, was already pretty fortunate.

  Besides, Yan Hanqing and Gu Panpan were able to find a battlefield blade. Gu Chuan was able to exchange back a clasp knife, but the one who had the largest harvest was Shao Qing. She was able to exchange back a ‘mad dog’. This was a sabre that every country’s special military forces would try to obtain. Shao Qing had also possessed one before, but since crawling out from the hospital’s morgue, the set of things that she had on her body were all missing.

  Therefore, this time being able to find the mad dog, Shao Qing was simply ecstatic. At that moment she immediately attached the scabbard to her outer thigh to carry it on her body.

  Besides weapons, they were also able to exchange for some fresh fruits and vegetables and so on. After all, since they have been out for so many days, they have been eating rations every single day. No one would be able to stand it.

  Finally, Shao Qing also bought Shao Tong an outfit suitable for a young lady. A skirt with flowers all over it and suspenders to match. It was extremely cute.

  Shao Qing wasn’t able to give much to Shao Tong. The only things she could possible offer her that was within her capabilities was to treat her better. To speak callously, if they did encounter any dangers, if it was up to Shao Qing’s choice, she would choose to abandon Shao Tong.

  Just as what she said at the beginning, she really couldn’t give much to Shao Tong. Besides the things within her capability, there was just the ability to die with dignity, that’s it.

  Returning back to their residence, Shao Qing saw Shao Tong wearing an apron and doing some housework. Her movements were awkward, but she was very earnest. Her delicate countenance was brimming with indescribable happiness.

  Within Shao Tong’s eyes, Shao Qing was a good person. She had saved her, didn’t mistreat her, gave her things to eat, and had also given her a name.

  Afterwards, she had also gained a family. Everyone here had treated her nicely and gently. This was literally taking her from hell to heaven in one night.

  She didn’t know how to express her own happiness. The only thing she knew she could do was to just clean up the place.

  Once seeing Shao Qing and the rest return, Shao Tong’s eyes immediately brightened. But since she rarely interacted with others, as a result, her cheeks turned a bright red and she wasn’t able to say a single word.

  “Ah Tong is really good.” Shao Qing rubbed Shao Tong’s head. Pulling Shao Tong over to the where they stayed, when she pulled out the skirt out, Shao Tong’s eyes were gleaming with delight and excitement.

  Every girl had that dream of being a princess, even if they were a masculine woman. They would all yearn for that flowered tutu skirt and for Shao Tong, since she was young all her nicest clothing were made from her mother’s old clothes thus, she had always thirsted for new clothing, but if she mentioned that she would only be beaten and scolded.

  “Try it on to see if it fits.” Shao Qing spread the skirt out. Shao Tong very carefully went over and touched it, her eyes continuously sneaking looks over at Shao Qing.

  “I’m giving it to you, wear it.” Shao Qing couldn’t help but let out a soft comment. After quite a while, Shao Tong finally built up the courage to take off her old clothes to try on the new skirt. Shao Qing’s eyes immediately widened. She saw that from head to toe on Shao Yong’s body, there was no single piece of skin that didn’t carry a scar. Numerous densely packed old scars covered her frail pale body. From the back to her chest, from her arms to her legs it was a ghastly sight.

  Shao Tong joyously changed into the pink t-shirt and the suspender skirt. Letting her sit down, Shao Qing helped tie her long hair into two braided pigtails.

  The happy Shao Tong looked very pretty. Shao Qing softly stroked her head, her heart feeling pained, all of a sudden she bubbled forth: “Just like a princess.”


  She could imagine how bitter and hard Shao Tong’s childhood was. Just like when she was at the orphanage, just for a small piece of pastry, a bowl of congee, she would always be covered all over with cuts and bruises.

  Yet for Shao Tong, she didn’t even have the ability to rebel. Instead she was treated as a plaything for venting one’s anger, something that can be sold at anytime.

  Her life was simply a tragedy.

  Lifting her skirt up a bit to show it off, she merrily twirled around in front of Shao Qing. After finishing her twirls, she suddenly became expressionless again and unwillingly was about to change into her old clothes again.

  Her mood was clearly written on her face, thus Shao Qing couldn’t help but toss her old clothes to the side. “Don’t be scared to get it dirty. If it does get dirty, I’ll just buy you a new one. Wear it, I think it looks good. I like it.”


  Shao Tong’s face started to light up again, she was too easy to please.

  When Shao Qing pulled Shao Tong out, Yan Hanqing was already making dinner. Er Dai was carrying Xiao Baozi on the sofa while Xiao Baozi kept on trying to crawl out from Er Dai’s hold to crawl onto the table to grab some grapes.

  Bright green grapes that still had some water droplets on it. It appeared fresh, green and tasty. On the side there were also a few bright red apples though the skin was a bit wrinkly.

  Gu Panpan was in the midst of using her new knife to slice the apples into slices, then placed it onto the plate to resemble a flower.

  In brief, the atmosphere within the living room was extremely good. No one would be able to tell that they were about to welcome the bloody moon which stood for the full moon.

  The reason why they called the full moon as the bloody moon was because a few small bases during the full moon time were breached by zombies. The entire base became a massacre leaving nothing behind.

  After two days people would investigate those bases to discover that the breached bases, besides the zombies, there were only skeletal remains of the corpses.

  Therefore gradually, the full moon slowly became referred to as the bloody moon.

  At present, the base that Shao Qing and the rest were at couldn’t be counted as a large bse. Adding up the entire base, there was probably around a thousand people, probably around the same as a medium sized village.

  The only thing that was a bit better was that the base was quite far from the cities that were densely populated with zombies. Thus even if there were a bloody moon and the zombies would launch an insurrection, there still wouldn’t be too many zombies that would approach the base.

  However it was better safe than sorry, the higher ups of the base didn’t do much. Just early in the morning, they allowed the members of the base to start strengthening the perimeter walls.

  By the time Shao Qing and the rest came back after going to buy some items, they could see that quite a few base members were lifting wire nettings and were adding it to the outside of the base as another defensive line.

  Yan Hanqing made four dishes and one soup. His cooking skill was pretty good, everyone was happy and content. After dinner, the entire group ate some fruit, on one hand chatting while on the other they were waiting for the bloody moon to arrive.

  No matter if it was during the day or during the night, the skies were dark. It was only when the round disk like moon lifted up, that there was a eccentricity coloured haze giving off a dull red glow, no wonder it was called the bloody moon.

  From a far there were zombies that were howling that could be vaguely heard. Shao Qing was sitting on the sofa and had Xiao Baozi confined between her legs. When the moon had risen, Shao Qing could feel that the blood within her body was flaring up, the only thing was that the extent of the flaring up was not that big, thus she was able to endure it.

  While Xiao Baozi was rubbing against her leg, it was probably because he could feel the influence as well. However, the one who felt it’s influence the most was probably Er Dai. Having his head lowered, he was curled up on the sofa, completely silent. But, occasionally you would be able to see his back slightly shudder.

  Shao Qing took a look at the time, it was already 9pm. “Er Dai seems like he’s not feeling too well, I think I’m going to take him to our room. If there’s anything you need from me, just call me.”


  Lifting up Xiao Baozi onto her back, she directly princess carried Er Dai. Shao Tong also wanted to come along, but was held back by Gu Panpan. Gu Panpan stuffed a slice of apple into her mouth, not allowing Shao Tong to bother Shao Qing.

  Once Shao Qing lifted up Er Dai, she was able to see Er Dai had an extremely pale face, a pair of dark black pupils appearing as if it was being contaminated by the blood moon.

  Er Dai curled up against Shao Qing’s chest. A pair of canines coming out from his upper lip. Er Dai’s fangs were different from a zombies fangs that shredded meat. He only had two small canine like fangs. It didn’t look the least bit scary, on the contrary it looked quite adorable.

  After bringing Er Dai into the room, Er Dai let out a sigh of relief, unable to resist burying himself against Shao Qing’s embrace.

  His skin temperature was already changing. Normally, a zombie was like a dead corpse, therefore their bodies would be icy cold and wouldn’t feel warm at all. Er Dai was like this as well, however at this moment, Er Dai’s skin was slowly becoming feverish.

  Even more was that Shao Qing could hear that something within Er Dai’s body which could be either the flaring of his blood or the throbbing of his pulse.

  Once again she was aware that perhaps zombies were constantly evolving. Later on they might become more and more human like with both their intelligence and their appearance.

  In that way, her, Xiao Baozi, Er Dai might sooner or later have a day where they could become something like a regular person with no difference at all.

  Right when she was indulging in her own imagination, Er Dai unexpectedly tumbled out of her embrace. Sharp fingernails began to grow out, almost creating a hole in the bed.

  Volume 3 38 Encountering an embarrassing situation again

  The M country people retreated in defeat and finally gave up the survivor bases on the edge. Instead, they all gathered in the center with only the three largest bases currently remaining.

  Besides these three survivor bases, few bases exist. This was why they hadn’t found a survivor base after so long.

  In addition to these three survivor bases, there were many individual households in country M. That is to say, these people tend to live in relatively remote areas with their family, or one or two people and are self-sufficient.

  It is not at all similar to the current situation in China.

  Under the enthusiasm of the two foreigners, the group of people walked together. Their current location was a little far from the nearest base.

  Shao Qing specifically asked them: “Do you know which base has more Chinese people?”


  The male immediately said: “Oh, of course. The original Chinatown was established into the Chinatown survivor base after the end of the world. Their power is quite large, even now. It is also one of the three remaining bases. Do you want to go there?”


  Shao Qing nodded. Reportedly, these overseas Chinese contacted Jing Du and wanted to return home. The reason they hadn’t come over in part was due to this.

  The man hesitated and spoke after a while: “Well, I will take you there. I know some people there. Now that the Chinatown survivor base is under martial law, most people can’t get in.”


  “Thank you.” Shao Qing thanked him seriously, then they headed towards the Chinatown survivor base.

  One day was not enough for them to walk to the Chinatown survivor base, so by afternoon/ evening, they had to set up camp.

  The afternoon was short, and it was fine, but there was one person who couldn’t help but want to take a nap……

  That was Er Dai. For some reason, Er Dai has been able to sleep well very recently and the amount of crystal nuclei absorbed every day has also greatly increased.

  Shao Qing laughed at him: “You’re able to eat more and more now. Soon I won’t be able to support you if you continue this way.” While clearing the inventory, she took out all the high-quality crystal nuclei and gave them to Er Dai.

  Before, Er Dai didn’t sleep no matter if it was day or night. But now it was more than just night time. Even during the day, he would stop to take a rest. When Shao Qing was cooking, when she looked over, he would have nodded off and fell asleep.

  Shao Qing did not know whether to cry or laugh. The only thing she could do was to get everyone to take a nap together. What? Refuse to sleep? What? Feel like we’re wasting time and taking a nap? What? Must go?

  Come, let’s compare moves with each other. I was just getting a little itchy recently.

  After that discussion, no one raised any objections.

  Shao Qing felt that she was still very democratic!

  Both male A and female B were new to the team. They didn’t know how cruel Shao Qing was, so they were still rather close to Shao Qing, their benefactor.

  When Shao Qing was cooking at noon, they also kindly provided some ingredients, which came from poisonous bees. These poisonous bees have a high ability to kill people but have a higher ability to make honey.

  Queen bees require a lot of energy to lay eggs. For queen bees, the best thing was human flesh, which could replenish a lot of energy. The only thing that could barely be replaced for human flesh was nectar.

  The worker bees tend to hoard a lot of nectar in the pond in the nest. The bloody pond that the explorers saw was actually nectar that had been deposited for a long time.

  The nectar provided by the two foreigners was the nectar that they obtained from the poisonous bee’s belly. The nectar was rare, but it was much sweeter than the average honey.

  Shao Qing used it to make honey glazed chicken legs and wings. Because the two people provided the ingredients, Shao Qing allowed them to eat together.

  Shao Qing’s cooking skills instantly conquered the two foreigners and the two foreigners cried as they ate. They probably hadn’t had such good food since the apocalypse. Moreover, China’s 5000+ years of culinary skills couldn’t be compared with country M’s hundreds of years.

  The expressions of the foreigners showed that they just wanted to hold onto Shao Qing’s thighs and never let go.

  What do you seek in life? Isn’t it just to eat and dress warmly, and then satisfy the little one?

  In the apocalypse, not speaking about clothes, at least following Shao Qing meant they would be fed well!

  It’s a pity that Shao Qing was not going to accept two foreigners as younger siblings. After finishing things, she was going to leave. She couldn’t just bring them along. Let’s not even talk about whether they agree or not, just them not speaking the language was a big enough problem.

  So in order to avoid all troubles, it is best not to take them in.

  Two days later, they finally arrived at the Chinatown Survivor Base. The Chinatown Survivor Base was not located in the original Chinatown. The base was named Chinatown Survivor Base just because almost all the people in the base were Chinese and 80% of them came out of Chinatown.

  And it has been used thus far with no intentions to be changed, it is estimated that the person who named it was also a handicap at naming things.

  The guards outside the base of Chinatown were very strict. If you want to enter the base, you must go through many checks. This was because the poisonous bees could carry the zombie virus.

  As long as they were stung, they would have a great chance of becoming zombies. They have suffered so much, so they had to be extra cautious. Thus, all ordinary people had to go through examinations that were several times more complicated than before.

  Shao Qing arrived at the door, and the two foreigners immediately stated that they knew acquaintances and could simplify the examination procedures.

  Shao Qing smiled, then said: “Leave it to us, this matter will not be bothersome.”


  One of the two civilians immediately stepped forward to the gatekeeper: “Please tell your base chief that the guests he invited are here.”


  Although they were coming here honorably, they should always guard against the leadership of Country M. It would be safer to reveal their identities to Country M after the matter has been settled.

  The guard at the gate froze for a moment. Luckily, he was unlike the condescending guards from some novels and honestly went inside to report the news.

  The head of the Chinatown survivor base coincidently had the surname of Tang*. Hearing that someone coming from outside said that they were a guest he invited stunned him at the time. His first reaction was that someone was pretending and thought about it carefully. Then he recalled that he had contacted China not long ago.

  * same first word as saying chinese people

  Immediately, he jumped up and said to the person who reported: “Go call the deputy base commander and several commanders, all of them!”


  Then he hurried to change his clothes to at least look a bit more appropriate. He didn’t want to make people think that he was looking down on the people coming from China.

  He was one of the groups of people who especially wanted to go back to China. Getting older, he always wanted to return to his roots. Even if he died, he wanted to die on the land he was dreaming about.

  Thus he was so cautious about the people who came from China. Even if the other party might not have come from China, he would have to go and see.

  The base director hurried to the entrance with his people and saw the unfamiliar faces that belonged to Shao Qing’s group. At this moment he knew that these people had a great possibility of coming from China.

  First of all, they were all Chinese. The Chinese people in the country M, although he didn’t know them all, he had at least seen them. So even if he didn’t recognize them, he would think they looked familiar. For these people, he can be sure that he has seen none before.

  Then they must have come from China.

  As soon as the head of the base came over, one of the two civilians greeted him and took the other’s hand in a friendly manner: “Are you the head of the Chinatown Survivor Base? We are from your native place.”


  Once he said so, the head of the base was clear and quickly said: “Please come in and speak! It won’t do for us to stand here, otherwise people will say that I’m treating guests poorly.”


  The group of people entered happily and Shao Qing walked behind, carefully looking at the higher ups of Chinatown Survivor Base.

  She felt that everyone wanted to go back to China. After all, in country M, they already have certain foundations. The huge Chinatown survivor base was one of the three largest bases in country M. Such foundations were hard to give up, The average person wouldn’t be able to do it.

  Even if Tang Yaozu can do it, what about the others? Can the deputy base director and other senior executives say that they will give up just like that?

  Even if they say they can, Shao Qing didn’t believe it. Who are you trying to cheat?

  There are only three things that have attracted men since ancient times. Power, fame and beauty. While staying in the survivor base in Chinatown, these three things were at their fingertips. If they return to China, everything would have to start from scratch again.

  As long as they had the slightest ambitions, they would know what to choose.

  Shao Qing didn’t like to guess people’s hearts, but that was the fact. Tang Yaozu led the people back with him, certainly some people would like to go back with him and some people would not.

  It would depend on what kind of thoughts they have. But as long as it had nothing to do with Shao Qing, she would be good.

  Tang Yaozu took them to the living room of the main building and made tea. After everyone was seated, Tang Yaozu said excitedly: “I have waited for you for a long time.”


  The communication with Tang Yaozu was naturally handed over to two clerical staff. The role they were brought for was diplomacy.

  There were also things like negotiations that the two of them were more reliable for.

  It can be seen with the naked eye that they were good at talking, at least Tang Yaozu laughed all the way through. Finally, after Tang Yaozu decided to return to China, some people wanted to leave, and some wanted to stay.

  Tang Yaozu also needed some time to arrange things after he leaves, such as who the entire base will be handed over to.

  With so many people leaving, the strength of the base will definitely decline. In case of repeated mutant animals attacking the survivor base, their defensive strength will definitely decline and they might even get destroyed.

  Therefore it would be best to deal with this in advance as they must not leave a mess for the next base chief.

  It happened that Shao Qing also needed time to complete other tasks, so the matter here was put aside.

  However, while they are being extremely hospitable at the base, they should still prepare to leave in a day or two and restock the inventory of vegetables and fruits.

  There were many vegetables, fruits, and crop planting places in the Chinatown Survivor Base. Many ordinary people worked here to earn their daily expenses.

  So even if there were many zombies and sieges, the Chinatown survivor base could still be self-sufficient for a long time.

  This model was very good and was very suitable for China. The only problem with China is that most of the bases are now inside the city. The land inside the city was relatively small, making it difficult to achieve self-sufficiency.

  Most of the bases were living in the city and some safe planting sites were established. However, once a zombie siege occurs, their situation was not as good as the model in the Chinatown survivor base.

  Of course, none of this has anything to do with Shao Qing because in Jiangcheng, most were zombies, only a small part of them were humans. By starting a small vegetable garden, they can live a self-sufficient life.

  Thinking in this way, becoming a zombie had its benefits. You don’t have to worry about your livelihood. You never have to worry about starving to death or being eaten by the zombie.

  It’s great to think so.

  They settled in the Chinatown survivor base. The things they had to do everyday turned into eating, sleeping, and walking, which was very leisurely.

  Especially Shao Qing. People who knew her did not dare to be close, so apart from two foreigners, few dared to come to her every day to eat and drink.

  For Er Dai, he continued to eat and sleep every day. If he wasn’t practicing, he was sleeping every day.

  Seeing this, Shao Qing was very worried.

  Er Dai should have been promoted in rank already. Every time he acted abnormally, he was about to advance. This should be the same. He had been at the peak of the fourth rank for a long time.

  No one can help him in such a promotion of rank. All Shao Qing can do is to take out all her advanced crystal nuclei.

  There were not many crystal nuclei in her hand suitable for Er Dai. She had left a lot of crystal nuclei in Jiangcheng to provide Gu Panpan for their cultivation. Then during this time, she did not go out to hunt zombies. The crystal nuclei in her hands were not a lot, especially since the two people have used it a lot these days.

  Er Dai’s sleeping time slowly lengthened and Shao Qing’s worries slowly increased. She examined Er Dai’s body and found that because he absorbed energy quickly, his body couldn’t fully handle it, thus he went to sleep.

  During his sleep, he would digest the energy a lot faster than usual.

  This was a good thing for Er Dai.

  But the lack of crystal nuclei in hand was a problem. Shao Qing had a terrible headache, so she called Qin Zixi to come: “I am going to go out and hunt for some crystal nuclei, can you help me guard Er Dai? You know Er Dai’s situation, I can’t relax if I leave it to anyone else.”


  Qin Zixi actually wanted to go out with her, but when Shao Qing said that, he had to stay: “Okay, Qing Jie, you should be careful outside.”


  Shao Qing nodded, then left. When she went out, Zhu Mochen happened to be sitting at the doorsteps and wiping his knife. Hearing that Shao Qing was going out, he followed: “Let’s go, together, I’m bored.”


  One more person equals more strength. Zhu Mochen was not weak, so Shao Qing agreed. The two foreigners also wanted to follow, but Shao Qing did not allow it. The two didn’t even have powers, they were too weak. If they followed, they would just hold them back!

  After leading Zhu Mochen out, Shao Qing ran into another person. This person was standing among the higher ups of the Chinatown Survivor Base that day. Presumably he should be the higher ups of the Chinatown Survivor Base.

  He looked similar to Tang Yaozu, but he was younger, only in his twenties. He was probably a relative of Tang Yaozu, probably his son.

  Even if he wasn’t his son, it should be a relative with a closer blood relation.

  Tang Yaozu looked more generous and kind, but the young man’s eyebrows were a bit harsh. Shao Qing didn’t like him at first sight.

  Shao Qing was heading out with Zhu Mochen when they were stopped by the smiling man: “Yesterday, I had a chance to meet this miss. My name is Tang Tiande, my father is Tang Yaozu. I don’t know if Miss……”


  You’re a miss and your whole family is a miss.

  Why is he speaking like that, who does he think he is? Shao Qing remained expressionless, but she had to give some face to Tang Yaozu’s son.

  “I am Shao Qing, this is my friend Zhu Mochen.” Shao Qing briefly introduced themselves and was about to leave. She still had something to do. How could she be free to go round and entertain this young kid here?

  “Ms. Shao, please wait. Where might you be going? Could it be that you want to go around the Chinatown Survivor Base? Since I am the host, you should call me for such a thing!” Tang Tiande said with a smile.

  Although he was smiling, his smile was annoying, at least Shao Qing hated it. This was because Tang Tiande looked like a lecher.

  “I just want to go out to hunt for zombies.” Shao Qing smiled and said: “Host, do you want to go together?”


  Tang Tiande changed his face at that time.

  A splendid woman, one with such a beautiful appearance, how can her hobby be so unique? Isn’t it fine to enjoy going out to eat, drink and chat? Instead she wants to hunt for zombies!
