When Lu Yan took Niba to clean up the zombies in the base, he passed by the communication station where Xiao Yan died.
When he walked in, the ice left by Qi Su had not moved at all. The thick cold air turned the entire communication station into a huge icehouse. When he walked inside, he felt the cold air penetrate into his body, and his bones were frozen. Aches.
Although this is a murder weapon, it is precisely because the ice left behind frightens the surrounding zombies that some high-level zombies passing by do not dare to stay here.
A combination of circumstances made this unclaimed land safer.
Walking into the main building of the communication station, the red blood tree carved with Xiao Yan's blood was still in place, with dense branches and leaves that stretched and wrapped around the entire space.
The crystal clear red looks strange and sad.
Lu Yan doesn't intend to let this place stay. When Qin Zhen enters the base, he will definitely not be able to help but come here. When the time comes, he will be stimulated by what he sees.
So Lu Yan used his powers, and then summoned Niba to eradicate the blood tree that represented Xiao Yan's life bit by bit.
During the eradication process, he suddenly remembered that in order to avoid Qi Su's discovery, Mu Tang left a spiritual imprint on the tree to deceive Qi Su.
When the little cleverness succeeded, Lu Yan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth with the cunning and excited expression on his face, but he quickly put it down.
Sighing, he reached out and touched the cold ice branches inch by inch with his fingers. The places where his fingertips passed slowly turned into blood, and then slowly evaporated.
On the other side, Mud smashed the other half of the blood tree, swung his tail and returned to Lu Yan, lowered his head and rubbed him hard.
Lu Yan patted its nose.
When the last inch of the blood tree disappeared, Lu Yan retracted his hand and walked out of the communication station with Niba.
Before leaving, he turned around and scanned the empty buildings again, feeling as if he had forgotten something.
After thinking for a long time, I didn't think of it. I didn't have time to delay. In the end, I could only suppress this doubt in my heart and continue to clean up the zombies elsewhere.
At dusk, for safety reasons, Lu Yan and the others did not stay at the base, but returned to the temporary camp.
From a distance, I saw Qin Zhen at the entrance of the camp, smoking a cigarette non-stop. When I got closer, I found that he had seven or eight cigarette butts accumulated under his feet.
Ever since Niba yelled at Qin Zhen in the tent that day, he now doesn't want to see him. He has a bad expression when he sees him, and sometimes he even yells a few words.
For example, now, Niba was staring at Qin Zhen fiercely, his two front feet restlessly scratching the ground, and a low growl came out of his throat.
Lu Yan quickly touched its head and whispered to comfort it:
"Okay, Niba, this is Qin Zhen. Didn't you like to play with him the most before?"
Niba let out a "woo", turned his head to one side in anger, and flicked his tail impatiently, clearly refusing to communicate with Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen seemed a little guilty when he saw this scene. He smiled dryly and raised his hand to touch his nose, then lit another cigarette and took a long puff.
Lu Yan frowned, jumped off Niba, walked over and patted him on the shoulder:
"It's good for you to recuperate. I see that your addiction to cigarettes is getting bigger and bigger, doubling your smoking. Look at you, how do you look like a sick person?"
Qin Zhensan laughed twice, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Lu Yan:
"Whether you want to smoke or not, it's the last two. Once you smoke them, you don't have to smoke anymore if you want to."
Lu Yan didn't answer. He was in no mood to touch this now. He pressed Qin Zhen's hand and sent the cigarette back:
"I don't need it. You can keep it for yourself. It's just two sticks. Just be honest when you finish smoking them."
Qin Zhen no longer forced himself, nodded and put the cigarette back into his pocket, observing Lu Yan calmly.
On the surface, Lu Yan could still joke with him and seemed to have come out of the haze, but if you look closely, you can see his red bloodshot eyes and black eye sockets.
It was obvious that he couldn't sleep at all at night and was still suffering from insomnia.
Moreover, Lu Yan is obviously paying more attention to Niba now. He spends every night grooming Niba without sleeping.
For such a big dog, he has to comb his fur before sleeping. Even when he sleeps, he stares at the ceiling with his eyes open.
Qin Zhen couldn't sleep several times. When he woke up, he saw Lu Yan holding a dog hair comb and sitting next to the mud in a daze in the middle of the night.
If this continued, he was afraid that Lu Yan would die first before he died.
Just as I was lost in thought, I suddenly remembered Lu Yan’s question:
"Old Qin, you just stood at the gate of the camp waiting for us. Is there something wrong?"
Qin Zhen stood there fiercely and turned to look at Lu Yan. He opened his mouth several times and hesitated to speak, but finally shook his head:
"No, I was just worried about your safety, so I stood at the door waiting for you."
Lu Yan looked at Qin Zhen up and down for a long time with his patrolling gaze, and finally took it back:
"Okay, don't be so anxious. Aren't you still worried about me?"
