Home/ Stopping the Handsome and Tragic Male Lead After 404/ Chapter 50 (Part 1)
Cheng Yu accompanied Sister Ying to review all the fortifications, topographic maps, traps, personnel deployment and other related matters of the Black Wolf base. When it comes to these kind of military affairs, both of them were highly focused.
“Sister Ying, this place needs to be strengthened. I passed by here when I arrived and felt that this place can completely become the real first line of defence.” Cheng Yu said.
“Is that so? Let me see? What method should I use?”
“Use zombies.” Cheng Yu said in a deep voice, “Zombies are natural protection.”
Yan Ying nodded.
Cheng Yu pointed to the dam, “There is still something here.”
Yan Ying frowned, “Is this necessary…”
“Grandpa used to say ‘take one step, look forward three steps, and look back two steps’. As long as the Holy Army is still there, you can’t assume that this place will always be safe.”
Yan Ying raised her eyebrows and said: “I haven’t seen you for a few years, and you have grown even better. The people at the White Wolf Base are really ignorant. They really lost such an outstanding talent like you.”
“I’m already an Awakened, so I can’t be with them. It’s my good luck that they failed to kill me in time.”
“You are really lucky. I know who Lao Gao is, and it must not have been easy for you to escape from him alive.”
“It’s because Shi Qin was there at the time, otherwise I would probably be taken back to the base as an experimental product.” Speaking of this, Cheng Yu was slightly taken aback, always feeling unaccustomed to Shi Qin not being around him.
“It’s ridiculous that the grandson of the person who established the base would be treated as the experimental subject of an old pedant in the Academy of Sciences. But it’s good that your stubborn brain can figure it out. According to my understanding of you, shouldn’t you return to the base with all your heart?”
“Because Shi Qin said…”
“Ah, ah, yes, I know! Why do you always think about Shi Qin, are you conjoined twins? I just can’t figure it out. When you were with Guo Yi before, I never saw you being so inseparable. By the way, Guo Yi…”
Yan Ying frowned and said, “Shouldn’t that kid follow you? Even if you became an awakened.”
Cheng Yu said: “He has his own life. Perhaps if we meet again, it will be a matter of life and death between us.”
Yan Ying was taken aback for a moment, and she heard a different meaning from these words. Then she smiled and said, “That’s good though, you have finally grown up. In fact, even if you didn’t become an awakened, you might be doomed for such a catastrophe.”
Cheng Yu looked at Yan Ying in puzzlement.
Yan Ying smiled and said, “Only when all living beings are equal can they live in harmony! To be a top notch person in the base, one must have both background and strength. In the past, losing one’s background and strength didn’t mean much, and at most, you will only suffer a little grievance. However, in the end of the world, it’s equivalent to losing your life. You were strong and had no background to rely on, and you still didn’t know how to hide your strength. Perhaps the people in the base who took over your grandfather’s work didn’t give you any food to eat.”
Cheng Yu didn’t complain, but Yan Ying had already guessed everything.
Yan Ying smiled and patted Cheng Yu’s shoulder, continuing: “Excellent people like us are destined to take a different path, so it’s better to come out and develop freely.”
Cheng Yu smiled faintly, “Sister Ying, is this a way to praise yourself?”
“So, do you know what’s good about me?” Yan Ying blinked ambiguously, “Do you want to be the boss here? If you want to, I will definitely abdicate and make way for you.”
Cheng Yu pretended not to hear and put away the map, “Alright, the review is over.”
Yan Ying smiled and relaxed her muscles, “I didn’t expect it to take so long. I still want you to teach the new recruits a lesson.”
“It’s too late, there will always be opportunities in the future.”
Yan Ying smiled slightly: “As long as you are willing, there will always be opportunities. Let’s go, I will take you back.”
“No need, I’ll walk by myself. I’ve already taken note of all the paths.”
“But I want to stay with you for a while.”
“Sister Ying…”
“Let’s go, let’s go, don’t refuse me…”
“No… what I want to say is, I am not going this way.”
“But here is the accommodation…”
“I am going to the activity centre. I don’t know if Shi Qin is done with his work there. I’ll go and have a look.”
Yan Ying said speechlessly: “I really have serious doubts now. What you care about is not Wen Shi or Wang Yan, but that brother Shi Qin. He is not weaned yet, so you always remember him, huh?”
Cheng Yu remained silent.
On the other side—
When Wang Yan saw Shi Qin taking care of Wen Shi, she couldn’t help but remind him: “Do you have any thoughts about others? Have you forgotten the man you saw this afternoon?”
Shi Qin looked at Wang Yan speechlessly, “I know very well.”
Shi Qin was surprised, he was just more gentle towards delicate girls, so why was he regarded as coveting women, aren’t they getting along very well.
Although he has no experience in love and longs for love, at least currently he is not in a situation where he can fall in love freely.
Wang Yan snorted coldly: “Just remember it.”
“What are you talking about?” Wen Shi asked curiously.
Shi Qin used sign language to help her understand.
Wang Yan replied with a smile: “We are curious about you and Jiang Yue.”
Shi Qin’s mouth twitched.
Wen Shi blushed directly.
The elderly people who were watching the excitement next to them started gossiping. After seeing Wen Shi avoiding them in embarrassment, they began to talk about the love story between Wen Shi and Jiang Yue.
Wen Shi was an awakened. In the beginning, when there were not many people available at the base, she used to follow Boss Yan out to run errands. Once when she went out with people, they arrived at an area and the others went out to search for supplies, leaving only Wen Shi to watch over things. As a result, she accidentally saw Jiang Yue surrounded by zombies.
Jiang Yue was a wanderer, and his companions were all killed by zombies, leaving him alone. At that time, there was only Wen Shi present in that area.
And Wen Shi couldn’t bear to see innocent people being bitten to death in front of her, so she tried to save Jiang Yue.
Although Wen Shi is a lovely and delicate girl, she is not pretentious and cowardly, relying on others for everything. She managed to lure away the zombies, fired a few shots, and blocked a few bites from the zombies for Jiang Yue.
Wen Shi finally managed to rescue Jiang Yue and took him to a safe place, waiting for Boss Yan and the others to come back.
When Jiang Yue came back to his senses, he wanted to repay Wen Shi, but Wen Shi wasn’t stupid and didn’t agree immediately. Instead, she listened to Boss Yan’s decision.
However, unless you are a relative of an awakened person who can act as an introducer, Boss Yan’s Black Wolf Base will not accept ordinary people. This is also for everyone’s safety, after all, she can’t guarantee that everyone will be the same as her without any ill intentions.
Although Wen Shi was disappointed by Boss Yan’s decision, she didn’t object.
But Jiang Yue insisted on following them. Perhaps because he was a homeless person who had nowhere to go, and was rescued by Wen Shi, he fell in love with Wen Shi at first sight.
It didn’t matter if Boss Yan didn’t accept it, Jiang Yue helped them keep watch, hunt, and search for supplies all the way. Despite encountering danger several times, he managed to survive. When they arrived near City C, the team refused to let him follow, so he guarded the only exit. Every time a team came out, he would help them, and every time he would ask people from the same team to bring something to Wen Shi. Over time, everyone in the base became aware of his situation and thought that this kid has proved his sincerity.
Boss Yan saw Jiang Yue foolishly coaxing Wen Shi to be happy, and knew that this person was really in love. After careful consideration, she discussed with Brother Qiang and finally made an exception, allowing Jiang Yue to enter the Black Wolf Base.
Jiang Yue, who entered the Black Wolf Base, also worked very hard to help everyone. He was Brother Qiang’s right-hand man and was deeply loved by residents.
So at the Black Wolf Base, everyone assumes that the two of them are a pair.
However, the two are always one step away from being together, and the reason was Wen Shi.
An old woman who knew some things told them that it was actually because Wen Shi felt inferior, not only because she couldn’t speak, but also because of the inferiority complex that was exclusive to the awakened. It was the invisible shackle formed during those dark days, wrapping around their neck tightly without any chance of breaking free. There are also various rumours that the awakened people will eventually go crazy and lose control, not knowing what will happen to them in the future.
And Jiang Yue is considered a young and promising ordinary person, so Wen Shi felt that she wasn’t worthy of him.
As soon as people stopped talking, Shi Qin finished repairing all the small items. An old man told him that there was also a problem with the water pipe of the sink and asked him to take a look.
Shi Qin felt helpless, thinking that he really became a tool man.
When he went to repair the sink, Wen Shi happened to be working there, washing children’s clothes. When Shi Qin arrived, she smiled and pointed to the side which needed to be fixed.
Looking at her blushing cheeks, she is probably still shy about what happened just now. If she had a little more courage, maybe her relationship with Jiang Yue would be settled.
Shi Qin really likes girls like Wen Shi, who are gentle and charming, neither a saint nor a fool, only sweet, always showing goodwill to others.
At this moment. Wen Shi had rolled up her sleeves to work, and one could see the ferocious bite marks on her arms, which must have hurt a lot at the time.
Shi Qin neatly fixed the water pipe, and when he turned around, he found Wen Shi staring at him blankly.
Seeing Shi Qin looking over, Wen Shi felt a bit embarrassed.
“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?”
Wen Shi hesitated for a moment and said, “I don’t know why? I always have a special feeling about you, as if… you are very familiar.”
Before she finished speaking, Wen Shi woke up in shock, “I have no other meaning, please don’t misunderstand, just pretend I didn’t say anything.” After speaking, she handed over the basket in her hand.
Shi Qin didn’t think too much about it, only thinking that Wen Shi probably felt that he was very friendly.
The basket sent by Wen Shi was full of apples, and he never ate fruit since he arrived in this world. But…can he really eat it?
Seeing the girl holding up the basket, Shi Qin wanted to refuse, but Wen Shi said that it was from everyone in the activity centre as a ‘thank you’.
Shi Qin could only accept it, planning to take it back for Cheng Yu and Wang Yan to eat.
Just as he was reaching out to take it, Shi Qin’s whole body suddenly froze. Not only did he stop moving, but even the apples in the basket were trembling slightly, as if they were about to rise into the air.
Shi Qin’s eyes rolled, and through the goggles, he clearly saw blood and tears in the corner of Wen Shi’s eye, and her whole body seemed to be frozen, as if she had lost her soul.
At this moment, there was a sudden loud shout. “What are you doing? Let go of Wen Shi’s hand!”
This sound awakened Wen Shi, who had lost control, while Shi Qin also returned to normal in an instant, only to realise that he had been holding onto Wen Shi’s hands.
Just as he was about to explain, Wen Shi’s expression became dull again. Shi Qin exclaimed in his heart, and without any delay, he knocked Wen Shi unconscious with his hand.
“Bastard!”
Just as Shi Qin supported the unconscious Wen Shi, he was punched in the face and directly hit the pool platform, and Wen Shi was also snatched away by Jiang Yue who rushed over.
The furious man wanted to strike again, but Shi Qin was still in a state of confusion because of being beaten and controlled by mental power just now. He had no time to react and was about to be punched again.
However, in the next second, the air seemed to condense for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, there was a click, it was the sound of a bone dislocating, followed by a series of painful gasps.
