Volume 3 Chapter 22 Return Home
The day that Shao Qing chose to leave was also the most critical time for Shiramizu Mochizuki’s plan. It was unknown why, but Shiramizu Mochizuki did not come to send Shao Qing off, only Itoji Muzi and Abe Jingxue came.
The boat was prepared by Shiramizu Mochizuki, there were several sailors in it. It was large and comfortable. When Shao Qing took the two men and Feng Lan on the boat, Itoji Muzi sat down on her knees dignifiedly, very pious and kowtowed.
She was grateful. If it were not for Shao Qing, she might have died at sea. If it was not for Shao Qing, even if she returned to the island country, she would be struggling on the verge of death. She would never have been able to live like this.
People should be grateful.
Itoji Muzi was very content.
“Go back.” Shao Qing turned back at the moment before boarding the ship and waved at Itoji Muzi, but she said to Abe Jingxue: “I hope you can tell Shiramuzi Mochizuki… forget it.”
She got on the boat, waved her hand again and said goodbye to the whole island country. This country really gave her a bad impression, but there were some things that left a deep impression.
For example, Abe Jingxue. For example, Itoji Muzi. For example…Shiramizu Mochizuki.
Abe Jingxue gathered his sleeves and stood for a long time, until the ship turned into a small black dot: “You obviously came, why not show yourself? Don’t you want to say goodbye to her?”
Shiramizu Mochizuki came out from the dark slowly. His eyes were red, but there were no tears, because the tears had all but run out last night.
“There is nothing to say.” Shiramizu Mochizuki’s voice was a little hoarse. He stood for a long time, looking in the direction of Shao Qing’s departure. He was the last person to lower his head, then he slowly, slowly, slowly walked back.
He had been abandoned by his master.
Although Shao Qing never admitted to being his master. In Shiramizu Mochizuki’s twists and turns, but completely in control life, Shao Qing was the uncontrolled, unpredicted accident. She had broken into his life fiercely, disrupting his plans and all order. She had forcibly pulled his heart from his chest. Yet, after taking it out, she refused to take it and threw it back to his feet.
After doing everything, she just clapped her hands and left.
Shiramizu Mochizuki felt that he hated Shao Qing. Hated how ruthless she was, but Shiramizu Mochizuki knew that as long as Shao Qing nodded her head, he would willingly leave everything, all the glory and wealth that were at his fingertips and follow her, even if he was just to be a slave.
Sometimes he spurned his own pettiness and lowliness, but he couldn’t help thinking how cruel that woman must be to not even give him a little bit of hope.
After walking a long way, Shiramizu Mochizuki stopped. He turned around and asked Itoji Muzi: “How about we make a deal?”
Itoji Muzi looked at Shiramizu Mochizuki suspiciously. The pale and stubborn teenager twisted his mouth, then said: “Be my empress, in name only.”
Within the whole country, except Abe Jingxue, only Itoji Muzi would remember her alone. It didn’t matter, he will collect all the memories about her.
All of it.
As for what Shao Qing hoped, he will do it. He will make the whole country orderly because this is what Shao Qing wanted to see.
Shao Qing didn’t know this at all, that there was a teenager who was desperate and helpless because of her departure. Even if she knew, she would only say something lightly. Why suffer from a long pain rather than a short pain.
Shao Qing was very strange. She could be very gentle to the person she loved. It can be said to be as tender as water. But to people she didn’t love, she could be so cruel.
The representatives of the former were Er Dai and Yan Qiyue, while the latter was Shiramizu Mochizuki.
No wonder someone in their memory of her asked if she had a heart?
Yes, to someone she cared about.
As for who asked her… well, forget it. It must be an unimportant person.
The way back was a lot smoother than when they came, especially with the sailors. They didn’t have to care about the direction of travel and just waited.
So Shao Qing’s life consisted of eating her meals, sleeping, and beating Yan Qiyue…
Basically, boredom.
She couldn’t be more bored, when she actually broke through. When she was destroying the Gaizo base, she realized that she was going to break through. At that time, she was already on the verge.
But without any movement, Shao Qing broke through naturally. Unexpectedly, she had broken through to rank 6 when she was bored and dazed.
The feeling of rank 6 was not the same as that of the peak of rank 5. She even felt that it was okay for her to face the entire Gaizo base now and that would not be a problem.
That kind of breakthrough was a kind of suppression in the realm. Just like at rank 5, she could easily single out a group of rank four superhumans. Now at rank six, she could single out a group of rank five superhumans, no problem.
People encountering happy events would feel invigorated and soon there would be two happy events. After days of laziness, they finally returned to China.
When she stepped back on the land of her country, her heart was in a mess. Shao Qing had a thought now. She wanted to go home, she wanted to go back to see her baby and her friends!
When she got off the boat, the helmsman stopped Shao Qing and handed her a letter. He was told to give it to her when they returned by Shiramizu Mochizuki.
Shao Qing wanted to open the letter directly after leaving the ship, but the most important thing now was to send Feng Lan back.
She first placed the letter into her space and took Feng Lan back to the base where he lived.
She also carried a tuna that was longer than humans. This fish was too big. It was estimated that it would be enough for Feng Lan and his family to eat for the first half of the month. Then they can directly turn it into salted fish.
Before approaching the base, Shao Qing felt something was wrong. She smelled a faint bloody smell. At that time, Shao Qing was alert and made a gesture to tell them to stay a little bit closer and slowly approached the base.
As she approached, Shao Qing was taken aback. This was because the base door was open and the gatekeepers were in a pool of blood. She quickly led the people into the base and saw a mess on the street, as if they had just been looted.
Feng Lan’s face was white. If Shao Qing had not supported him, he might not have been able to stand up at this time.
“I heard a voice, come with me.” Shao Qing took them towards the direction of the square. After approaching, they found that everyone was at the square.
There was a group of people with guns and empty-handed superhumans who surrounded the people in the base. The people in the base held their heads and squatted on the open ground. There were also several corpses in front.
Shao Qing hurried to hide her group. They had to observe what was happening before deciding their next action.
Someone was counting. After he finished, he said to someone who looked like the leader: “There are a total of one hundred and twenty-three people. There aren’t many girls, just forty-four. Boss, what should I do?”
The leader waved his hand and said: “The women can stay, the men should be killed. Good looking men can also be kept. Older ones are just a waste of food and can be killed.”
The man who counted immediately asked, “What about the children?”
“The children can be used for entertainment. Their meat is also tender. So after playing, we could eat them.” Someone immediately said with a sneer.
“Lao San* is right, kill all the men first. It happens that this place is close to the sea. There is no shortage of salt. They can be marinated into dried meat, then we don’t have to worry about eating for a short time.” The man touched his chin, and then said.
* Not his name but more like a nickname; they are calling him number three
Feng Lan saw Feng Yue guarding several children at a glance. He was so anxious that he wanted to rush out. If it weren’t for Shao Qing, he would have done so already.
“Don’t be impulsive.” Shao Qing said calmly: “Leave it to me.”
Feng Lan clenched his fists tightly and nodded.
Shao Qing looked at the wind and scattered the dodder seeds first. She was afraid that once they started fighting, some people would go crazy and kill the ordinary people first.
This must be guarded against. After all, Feng Lan’s sister Feng Yue and their brothers and sisters were still in the crowd.
The lead man was about to make an order when he suddenly smelled a faint scent. When he turned around, he saw his men tilting their heads in shock and looking behind him with their jaws dropped.
The leader turned around and saw a big tree, which appeared behind him out of thin air, still growing slowly.
The huge canopy covered the sky, stretching the branches wantonly. Tiny little lights fell down and one even landed on the tip of his nose, making him a little itchy.
What is…. this?
Just when the leader was a little stunned, a scream suddenly sounded, then warm blood splashed on his face. The leader unconsciously turned on his ability, then he saw that the vines were drilling out from under the tree and dragging his men underneath the tree.
Once his men were dragged under and were divided into pieces by the vines. The fragments of the body were then dragged by the vines under the tree to become nutrients.
The root of the tree quickly burrowed out of the ground and plunged into the corpse to absorb the nutrients.
The leader didn’t know whether he sensed wrongly, but he felt that the branches and leaves of this tree became more lush and the rustle of the branches and leaves seemed to be expressing its joy.
Just when he was shocked, one after another, people were dragged under the tree and became the nourishment of the tree. He wanted to call out for an enemy attack to prepare everyone to fight. But when his mouth opened, no sound came out.
His throat was blocked by a mass of things. Then the last scene his men saw was that the leader had a mouth full of green shoots and leaves scrambling out of his throat.
Then, there was no more.
Shao Qing clapped her hands, and she stepped out of the dark. Except for a man who had been so scared he peed himself, everyone else had become Guang Guang’s nourishment.
The man who peed himself had yellow liquid trickling down his crotch and landing on the ground. His hand was holding a gun, but the gun in his hand was then dropped into the puddle of yellow liquid.
Shao Qing threw out her vines and dragged him over. She hung him up in disgust at a distance away from her. She was planning on questioning him after cleaning up the place.
As soon as the battle was over, Feng Lan rushed into the crowd and hugged Feng Yue: “Sister, sister, are you okay, sister!”
Feng Yue was terrified. She turned back and hugged Feng Lan, bursting into tears.
When she cried, the children also cried, then the whole square cried.
After all, this group of people had been living on this coast without competition since they formed this small base. There was also nothing worthy of scrambling for nearby, so it has always been calm.
Unexpectedly, a group of robbers came today. They had burned and robbed, and wanted to turn them all into grain reserves.
If it weren’t for Shao Qing stopping the group of people in time, the woman would have been humiliated and the men would have become jerky to be marinated.
Having a new lease of life after this calamity, that feeling really could make anyone cry.
Some others cried because their loved ones had died. When this group of robbers entered the city, they had also stubbornly resisted, thus many people died in the resistance.
Feng Lan had also seen the big world and was relatively calm. After appeasing Feng Yue, he began to arrange personnel to clean up the scene.
Shao Qing still carried the tuna on her shoulder and asked, “Who are you? Why are you here? What do you want to do?”
The person was trembling, let alone talking, he was shaking like he had Parkinson.
Shao Qing said patiently: “I will give you three seconds to calm down, then give me what I want to hear. Of course you can also refuse, but I think you will not be willing to experience the consequences of that action.”
That person while shaking quickly shouted: “We are robbers. The zombie tides broke out inland and there was chaos everywhere. With no other options, we came to the oceanside to cause chaos…”
Shao Qing’s expression was cold in a flash. What happened?
