Back to the end of the world: Metaphysics bosses hoard supplies for infrastructure construction

Chapter 25 The Awakened

Ruan Qingqing followed the sound and was almost hit by three or two children as soon as she turned around. Fortunately, Yun Fangchang pulled her from behind.

I saw the five children running in a group, with gray faces, laughing at the panting girl behind them: "Come after me!"

The middle child also moved a plastic bag containing medicine around.

You must know that this medicine is very valuable in today's environment. How can it be allowed to be trampled on by a group of children?

The girl who was chasing them turned pale, and after walking a few steps, she started gasping for air and had difficulty breathing. She looked like she was just a high school student.

When Ruan Qingqing looked over, he fell to the ground.

"Hey, it's really boring." The children looked disdainful, as if they saw a boring toy broken.

When he saw the girl fall, he wanted to throw away the medicine in his hand, but his hand was suddenly grabbed by someone.

"Who allowed you to fool around here?" Yun Fangchang took the medicine from the child mercilessly and looked at them with a sullen face.

The children looked stunned and burst into tears when they saw that the sunlight in front of them was blocked.

Even though Yun Fangchang didn't attack them, they still pushed Yun Fangchang away angrily: "Whoa, whoa, someone is bullying a child!"

Yun Fangchang has received professional training before, and the chassis is very stable.

The children didn't push, and instead they fell to the ground.

This time, they cried even harder!

"You bullied me, I have to go back and tell my dad!" The child got up from the ground and pointed at Yun Fang and cursed.

But no one dared to stay in Yunfang for so long, so they all ran away.

Yun Fangchang was so noisy by them that his ears hurt, so he stopped chasing after the medicine was brought back.

He came to Ruan Qingqing.

At this time, she was helping the girl who was twitching due to poor breathing to stand up, unbuttoned a few buttons on her chest, and stood in front of the girl.

Yun Fangchang took the initiative to avoid it until the girl's breath floated, and said with difficulty: "Medicine."

He closed his eyes and carried the plastic bag and asked Ruan Qingqing to pick it up.

After breathing in oxygen, the girl calmed down.

"Thank you, thank you." The girl calmed down her breath and reluctantly thanked her.

It was also at this time that sirens suddenly sounded from all directions.

Ruan Qingqing knew something was wrong before she could discern it.

The girl's face turned pale again: "This is the siren sound of a mutant attack. You must hide quickly."

When the alarm sounded, the residents who had just been idle on the streets all swarmed to hide in the villas, while all the villas that had not been pried open were avoided.

They had already made quite a number of moves, and they did not spare Yun Fangchang's residence where the windows had been smashed by mutants.

In the chaos, some people fell down and were trampled mercilessly by those behind them.

Ruan Qingqing tried her best to protect the girl's safety and hid in her yard.

"Can the door still be opened?" Yun Fangchang asked.

Ruan Qingqing remained silent and followed her line of sight. There were strong people in the bunker not far away looking at them eagerly.

It seems that his subordinates are hiding something.

"It's a gun, QMB... anesthesia gun." Yun Fangchang frowned and stood in front of Ruan Qingqing.

If they open the door now, they will most likely be intercepted by them.

In her previous life, Ruan Qingqing said that some people would rob police supplies during riots to rob the resources of the rich.

Their most direct method is to stay at the rich man's house when the mutants are about to arrive...

"We can't open the door yet." Ruan Qingqing said, "They are targeting us." "What should we do now?" Yun Fangchang asked.

"When they leave, we can open the door of the villa without being discovered by them." Ruan Qingqing said.

She hugged the girl and hid behind the flowers with Yun Fangchang.

"Boss, it seems like they can't get in. Should we escape first?" Several people squatting at the opposite intersection couldn't help but become worried as they listened to the alarm getting louder and louder.

Their leader grabbed the pistol and stared in Ruan Qingqing's direction without saying a word.

Finally, when a mutant appeared, he yelled to retreat, and several of them escaped in different ways——

Some people just moved their legs and disappeared. Another person stood on the wall with both feet and climbed up like Batman...

Ruan Qingqing watched secretly. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she couldn't believe that they could do it without any tools, and their physiques didn't look like they had received special training.

Are they the awakened ones?
Ruan Qingqing was shocked when the mutants discovered their existence.

When they hit the fence and prepared to come in, she and Yun Fangchang quickly opened the door and hid in the villa.

"Did you just see it? How did they escape just now?" Ruan Qingqing asked Yun Fangchang.

They had only left here for a week. Not only had the area around the villa become a safe zone, but there were also people who had awakened their own special abilities.

The so-called awakening means that after being bitten by a mutant, he did not mutate. Instead, he awakened a power that ordinary people cannot match. For example, some viruses can stimulate leg muscles, allowing people to run faster than a leopard.

The Awakened Ones were originally reported three months after the mutation wave occurred.

I don't think they have appeared now.

Yun Fangchang's expression looked particularly solemn at this time.

"Is it possible that we received a false signal?" he speculated.

Ruan Qingqing was shocked after hearing this: "If they awaken their abilities, they can create false signals."

She suddenly recalled the conversation Yun Fangchang had with her when they were about to leave the Taoist temple.

The safe zone was attacked repeatedly by mutants a week ago. How could it be possible to establish a safe zone so quickly to protect residents now?

Since it is officially a safe zone, how can it be attacked by mutants nearby?

Even they also saw the awakened ones.

At the beginning of the mutation wave, there was a precedent for the safe zone established under the leadership of the Awakened.

They were really tricked back by the signal.

"You are the owners of this villa." After the girl was rescued, she looked at Ruan Qingqing seductively.

Her real name is Su Diyin, and she is a high school student. She has been hiding at home since she received the notice to attend classes.

Both her parents had already died in the mutation wave.

Su Diyin sat on the sofa with some restraint: "I was tricked into coming here. When I heard the news that the safe zone was fortified, I came over without thinking much."

Unexpectedly, the mutation wave here was even more serious than she originally thought.

She was crowded into a villa without any protective measures with a group of strangers.

In order to lure away the mutants who come, an unwritten rule has been formed here——

The residents of each villa must distract their attention before the mutation wave occurs to ensure the safety of other people in the villa.

The so-called awakened ones did not protect them like Chen Nuo.

They are also asked to defraud the official relief grain.

If someone among the people gathered was infected with the mutated virus, he would either be shot directly, or he would be found to be an awakened person and arrested by the people above, and his whereabouts are still missing.

"My child is also an awakened person, and he took the initiative to expose his identity in order to change my medicine." Su Diyin said in a timid voice.
