Stealing Pens: Travelers from the End of the World

Chapter 253 I’m still alive

The two quickly exchanged information and got in the car together to return to the base.

The vehicles that were driving far away from the base were all modified trucks with wide cargo beds that could carry both people and cargo, and the target of two vehicles was smaller than that of a group of vehicles.

Qin Yuchen, Xiao Lu and twelve other people sat in the truck at the back, while the car in the front was responsible for leading the way.

Everything went smoothly in the morning, but in the afternoon, a wave of zombies came without warning and gradually surrounded them.

The two cars separated at a fork in the road, taking large groups of zombies to different paths.

The people in the car where Qin Yuchen was located had already skillfully set up their guns to stop the zombies from rushing up from all directions.

The atmosphere in the carriage was very depressing. Qin Yuchen sat in the innermost part, neither speaking nor giving any orders.

He stroked the patterns on the dagger in his hand, watching the zombies being knocked down by machine guns and rushing up again. Finally, the next second when two people's eyes met, he threw the dagger and pierced one of them's neck.

This sudden change scared the remaining eleven people so much that they all looked over, especially the one who had looked at each other.

He was surprised to realize that Qin Yuchen had discovered something. As he watched Qin Yuchen slowly walking towards him, he felt a warm current flowing through his neck before he aimed the gun he had just raised.

At the same time, the two people beside this man also started to make trouble.

Qin Yuchen drew his knife and kicked the body kneeling in front of him out of the car. He dodged the stabbing knife by turning sideways, grabbed the man's collar and blocked it in front of him, avoiding another man on the right who raised a gun and fired.

He quickly raised his knife to block the incoming knife, kicked the man over and pierced his heart, then turned around and saw—

The remaining eight people also turned against him collectively, and the black muzzles of guns and cold knives all fell on him.

The corpse blocking his way was no longer of much use, and there was no place to hide in the narrow carriage.

There were piles of zombies outside, and Qin Yuchen was completely trapped in this small area.

Blood splattered all over the clothes on his chest, and the blood beads hanging on his eyelashes slid down his cheek in the blink of an eye. Qin Yuchen rubbed his chin on his shoulder, and his eyes fell on Xiao Lu who was sitting in his original position without moving.

He exhaled and laughed, "Brother, you chose the perfect time to turn against us."

"What are you talking about?" Xiao Lu also laughed and expressed his innocence.

"How can Xiaochen say that?"

"Really? Then it seems I killed the wrong person?"

"No, no, no, Xiaochen's intuition and observation skills have always been very strong." Xiao Lu's smile widened, and he was finally willing to move around. He stood up and wiped off the blood splattered on his body with disgust.

"Look, there are more than a dozen of us surrounding you, with so many guns pointed at you, and you can kill four people. I have never doubted your ability.

I’m even very optimistic about you, for me…”

Before he could finish his words, Xiao Lu raised his eyebrows at them, and the carriage, which had been silent for a moment, began to sound again.

Qin Yuchen tried his best to use his men to block the bullets, but no matter how powerful he was, it was just too much of a struggle now.

The arm being hit by a knife and almost cut off was the beginning, and the bullet and knife penetrating the chest at the same time was the end.

Qin Yuchen's knife was only half an inch away from Xiao Lu, and blood was oozing from Xiao Lu's neck. But it was in this half inch that his heart was pierced by the black knife he often used.

But the man still felt it was not enough, so he drew out the black knife and stabbed it into the same position again.

All sounds were drowned in the sticky blood, and Qin Yuchen was kicked out of the car.

The last thing I saw was the zombies that surrounded me in an instant.

He died at the age of twenty-five.

"Qin Yuchen!"

The piercing pain made Zhang Qiling open his eyes suddenly. He turned around and tightened his arms to hold the person next to him tightly.

The familiar smell and the sound of light breathing became more substantial, but the heartbeat as intense as a drum could not be calmed.

It was a dream so real that it was suffocating. Zhang Qiling only felt his brow bones ache. He tried his best to make it disappear from his sight and did not want to recall it again.

But it didn't have much effect. When I blinked, I saw Qin Yuchen lying in a pool of blood. He was still breathing. His life was so tenacious that he could still breathe slightly even with such serious injuries and being bitten by the zombies.

Zhang Qiling could only watch quietly as Qin Yuchen finally took his last breath in peace, and then the dream disappeared as he cried out.

He was powerless in the dream. His conscious reaction was always to help Qin Yuchen, but those directions seemed to be predetermined and he could not interfere.

At this time, a soft, wet kiss fell on his collarbone, and the touch on his back was light and slow. It was Qin Yuchen who was patting his back to coax him.

Zhang Qiling tightened his arms even more and whispered Qin Yuchen's name softly.

"Having a nightmare?"

A soft and gentle voice sounded, and Qin Yuchen seemed to open his eyes.

The feeling of his eyelashes brushing against his collarbone reached his heart. Zhang Qiling closed his eyes and replied softly:

"Ah."

"It's just a dream." Qin Yuchen moved his body to ask Zhang Qiling to use less strength.

Zhang Qiling refused, so Qin Yuchen had to move again.

This time, he was free from his restraints as he wished. He sat up, lowered his eyes, and gently stroked Zhang Qiling's hair, comforting him, "It's all the opposite."

“…” Zhang Qiling was speechless.

"Well, it seems like a terrible nightmare." Qin Yuchen chuckled, leaned over and kissed the corner of Zhang Qiling's mouth, and lowered his voice.

"Can you tell me what the dream was about?"

Zhang Qiling's heartbeat had not slowed down. Qin Yuchen had no idea what he dreamed about, but he couldn't just leave it alone, so he had to comfort him as much as possible and ask as many questions as possible until he was willing to talk about the matter.

"You." Fortunately, Zhang Qiling was not like before, keeping everything in his heart. He took the initiative to mention what happened in the dream and said a word. Qin Yuchen instantly knew the content of the dream.

"Why did you suddenly dream about this?" The gentle tone remained unchanged, only with a hint of doubt. "Is it because you have so many connections with 007 and that thing?"

A very strange thing.

Qin Yuchen frowned and instinctively attributed this phenomenon to 007.

Zhang Qiling then sat up and pulled the quilt up to cover Qin Yuchen, not knowing why.

This dream came without any warning. Even when he discovered Qin Yuchen's abnormal behavior and wanted to know the past, the dream did not come to him.

However, no one believed that this was an accident.

Qin Yuchen's intuition was very accurate, but he was only half right.

It was related to the contact with 007 and Qingyu, but the main reason was because of the strong emotions that Zhang Qiling himself knew.

The two are just a connecting line, and what forms the connecting line is Zhang Qiling's unconscious exploratory psychology, even though he seems to have let go of his strong thoughts.

"I don't believe it was a dream."

Zhang Qiling said this.

"It's not a dream." Qin Yuchen admitted frankly. He held Zhang Qiling's hand and gently pressed the tiger's den to relieve his excessive emotions. "But I'm still alive."

Those were just the past, he was still alive.
