C-6 Polystyrene, a chemical fusion agent—an irritating and toxic industrial compound. Once introduced into a dead body, it would be fully absorbed? Then awaken the latent consciousness of the Living Dead, bringing them back to life? Xiao Qiang carefully analyzed, recalling the pungent smell in the air, and concluded that this toxic gas was likely mixed with solidified gasoline.
Continuously analyzing and speculating repeatedly, he paced back and forth, leaving Wu Yi feeling dizzy.
Dick Qiang and Martin were completely dead, and they had no idea how to handle the bodies. To be safe, they tied the two corpses together with rope and moved them to a corner, waiting for Gui Ye to return before making any decisions.
As silence fell, they anxiously awaited Gui Ye. After calming his emotions, the two sat on the only bench available. Finally, Xiao Qiang voiced his lingering question. "How did you meet Gui Ye?" He asked this to ease the previous tension.
"I don't really know how it happened..." As he spoke, Wu Yi took off the Chain from around his neck and solemnly handed it to Xiao Qiang. "It was Lin Yu who instructed me to personally deliver the Chain to you, so I've been keeping this in mind."
It turned out that after seeing Matt take Lin Yu away, Wu Yi had no idea where to find Xiao Qiang. On his way back, he was ambushed by Li Hang and Wen Kai.
A fierce battle was inevitable. With matters on his mind, Wu Yi fought without much desire for combat and took down Li Hang and Wen Kai. From them, he learned that after the incident that day, only one woman remained in the car while Xiao Qiang disappeared when the vehicle rolled into the riverbank.
Wu Yi went to the spot where the car had overturned that day and searched for the hanging Chain of the Dandelion. He scoured the ground inch by inch, through weeds, hoping to find any trace related to Xiao Qiang, but he couldn't help but lament how everything had changed significantly after the Nuclear War, affecting all living beings and plants here to varying degrees.
Just like this Dandelion, which used to be very small—no bigger than a palm. After developing antibodies against Nuclear Radiation, it had grown several times larger; if one didn't look closely, they might mistake it for a small sapling.
The riverbank was covered with intertwining creeping grass, with thick stems as wide as a person's pinky finger. The river flowed gently, with a crooked tree leaning out over it. A cold wind blew mournfully, causing the leaves to sway in the breeze. Yet there was no sign of Xiao Qiang, leaving his fate unknown.
Wu Yi gazed sorrowfully at the river's surface, twisting the Chain in his fingers. He remembered how Xiao Qiang used to do this. Silently murmuring: "Qiangzi, where are you?"
Suddenly, a flash caught his eye as a whirlwind rose from the ground, swirling up dry branches and leaves along with dust that rushed towards him. He could only close his eyes in fear of looking closely. He knew that inadvertently activated the Reincarnation Card, silently wishing—Xiao Qiang, I will definitely find you.
In fact, at that moment when Wu Yi was taken by the Reincarnation Card, someone emerged from below the riverbank. He would never have the chance to see this person—someone whom Xiao Qiang recognized.
However, this detail remained unknown to anyone else, which is why Wu Yi did not mention it.
"You sound like you're telling me a tale from the Arabian Nights..." Xiao Qiang's tone was flat, his complex gaze clearly showing disbelief in Wu Yi's words.
"Come on, do you suspect I made this up?" Wu Yi felt his rebuttal was weak; it seemed Xiao Qiang harbored some resentment towards him. "Qiang, I need to tell you something important," he said, shifting slightly to get closer.
Xiao Qiang showed his distaste for Wu Yi's familiar gesture, appearing indifferent as he glanced at the doorway. He pretended to unconsciously move away a bit before looking up and questioning, "What is it?"
"The International Rescue Team has ties with Professor R. Their members come from various countries. They occupy two-thirds of the territory, doing whatever it takes to achieve their goals, secretly committing murder and theft. Outwardly, they present themselves as a legitimate rescue group, but I..."
"How do you know this?" Xiao Qiang had never heard of a rescue group before. He didn't dare to make bold statements about Professor R's character, but he didn't think it was anything good either.
"The rescue group is searching for a rare mineral that seems related to cosmic meteorites. They go looking for it and end up killing countless people wherever they find it. I couldn't stand it and wanted to leave, but they wanted to eliminate me."
"And then you struck first?"
Wu Yi's face twitched slightly. "How did you know that?"
Just as Xiao Qiang was about to respond, hurried footsteps echoed from the entrance. "Shh! Whatever it is, let's talk about it when we get back to the future world. You understand the current situation."
"Yeah, I get it." Wu Yi nodded, wisely shifting away from Xiao Qiang while still trying to keep as much distance as possible.
Gui Ye returned, looking utterly exhausted. Without taking a moment to rest, he hurriedly explained why he had been delayed.
It turned out that half an hour ago, a major incident had occurred at the hospital that caused quite a stir. Armed forces were deployed with heavy firepower to suppress the situation; those who had awakened from death were ultimately no match for them and were mostly eradicated.
Xiao Qiang felt uneasy about Gui Ye's mention of "mostly eradicated." He couldn't shake the feeling that things weren't this simple. However, before coming here, Matt hadn't mentioned any unexpected situations. Everything would have to wait until the child recovered before they could find a reason to leave.
Gui Ye said that the child's condition was not looking good and wanted to follow the original plan to bring him back. Someone suggested taking him to a clinic to see if it would help.
There was a private hospital several dozen miles away, and the responsible doctor there was an old friend from years ago. Due to his self-destructive behavior and decline, his friends had distanced themselves from him. Now, he sought out this friend to save a life, and to his surprise, the friend readily agreed to help the child.
Wu Yi was very interested in the child that Gui Ye mentioned.
Xiao Qiang seemed to have some reservations and called Gui Ye outside. The two of them whispered back and forth for a while, with the former appearing quite agitated. The latter was earnestly assuring him, swearing promises...
Wu Yi found it strange and followed them outside. Xiao Qiang and Gui Ye immediately fell silent, leaving Wu Yi feeling frustrated as he returned inside. The others also stopped talking about the child.
The topic of the child abruptly ended, and Wu Yi felt it inappropriate to press further, leading to a flurry of wild guesses.
A series of labored breaths came from a corner where Dark was, drawing everyone's attention. Xiao Qiang then remembered that there were still two special individuals that needed handling.
Xiao Qiang said to Gui Ye, "Their situation is a bit unusual; you should go take a look."
Gui Ye went over to check, and what he saw was truly terrifying. The two looked like real-life specimens of the Living Dead, their faces ashen with lifeless eyes devoid of emotion. They stared at him with a feral glint, mumbling indistinctly, "Brain Essence."
