Chapter 497: Chapter 494 This Is For You_1

After hearing what Qiongli had to say, some people nodded decisively, while others showed regret on their faces. If they had known earlier, they wouldn’t have followed Qiongli to Chenyang 169 Base. Wouldn’t it have been better to go to a closer base?

At least, they wouldn’t be constantly risking their lives. There were a thousand people when they set off, now only one in ten remained. And this was just the beginning. What would they experience on the rest of the journey? Who would be the next to die? Would it be themselves?

While Qiongli was dividing all the food into eighty-six shares, Tang Ye seemed to sense something and turned his head to look into the darkness in the distance. At this moment, a faint smell of decay wafted over. Many people frowned and sniffed, thinking they might have smelled wrong, but there was a definite stink!

This smell was like that of a rotting corpse. Qiongli’s face changed dramatically. This was the smell of a zombie!

"Not good, there might be zombies!"

Upon hearing this, everyone became alert, even Brother Zhang instinctively placed his hand on the hilt of his knife.

Tang Ye regarded Qiongli with amusement and stood up, "Don’t make a fuss." And with that, he walked towards the darkness. People watched him with strange expressions but as his figure vanished into the darkness, they began to feel uneasy.

For some reason, they all felt a sense of loss, like a protective umbrella had been removed, whenever this young man was not around.

Tang Ye headed down towards the valley. The distant darkness was like thick ink, vague movements could be seen, massive ones at that!

In fact, there was something there. The smell of a rotten corpse was emanating from it. After ensuring he was out of everyone’s view, Tang Ye quickened his pace, moving like a shadow through the darkness.

Half a minute later, he arrived at a dried-up riverbed, where a body sat coiled up, it was a corpse dragon!

Tang Ye didn’t come alone, he brought it with him to prevent him from being distracted if anything happened to Nannan.

"Did you bring it?"

He touched the hard scales of the corpse dragon and said it from his angle. The corpse dragon was half buried in the ground, clearly possessing the drilling ability of some animal!

Hehe~

With a low growl, the corpse dragon spit out a ball of saliva mixed with soil. The saliva was dark yellow, looking utterly disgusting. Then it spat out a plastic wrapped object, covered in its saliva.

Tang Ye, with a disgusted look on his face, kicked it with his foot. He picked up a tree branch to unwrap the plastic, revealing a red bag containing several packets of cigarettes and a lot of spicy flavored snacks.

"Not bad!"

With a satisfied smile, Tang Ye spoke to the corpse dragon, "Just follow me quietly. You’re not allowed to come out without my orders."

After receiving a "understood" message from the corpse dragon, its enormous head lowered and it burrowed into the ground, making a "hum hum hum" sound.

About to depart, Tang Ye seemed to remember something, he removed the bone spikes from his body and casually threw them. These things were scraped off a level 4 zombie, there were many barbed hooks on the surface, hitting them would definitely tear off a large chunk of flesh.

But after using it for a while, this bone spike could only serve as a whip, yet Tang Ye had no talent for wielding a whip.

He suddenly remembered the flesh and blood knife he had condensed from his own flesh and blood before he encountered Xu Haishui. He was initially considering turning it into a sword, but then thought otherwise.

In ancient times, a sword was regarded as the king of all weapons and had various elegant names. But in reality, a sword is not an easy weapon to wield!

Don’t be fooled by the seemingly awesome sword immortals and sword cultivator in web novels. The real deal comes with a feeling of awkwardness. Tang Ye preferred to use it as a disposable weapon to throw!

Rather than a sword, many people prefer to use blades like katana or samurai swords, which feel more convenient to handle.

Besides, the peculiar black fog technique he’d gained from Changjue and Tang Ye’s control of flesh were fundamentally the same, one merely involved a gas while the other involved a solid.

Thinking about it, a bloodline suddenly appeared on the wrist of one of Tang Ye’s hands. Then his whole hand fell onto the other hand. A new hand grew rapidly from the broken wrist, while the severed hand began to squirm, quickly turning into a ball of flesh, then slowly morphing into a blood-red katana!

Except for the handle and blade being covered with a layer of bone, three finger bones connected the two parts, the whole setup looked very eerie.

"Looks pretty good."

With a smile, Tang Ye wielded the blade, hacking around. The lush grass around him was sliced swiftly. If he had such a weapon when he was a child, Tang Ye was sure there wouldn’t be a single clump of grass within ten miles that could survive!

The blade he had now "refined", was not like the previous flesh and blood blade which would dry up once separated from his body. This blade stayed blood-red, being level 6, a piece of flesh that falls off him was still his flesh, it was still connected to him. As long as he had energy in his body, with a single thought, the fallen flesh could be reabsorbed into his body.

Apart from that, this blade could be controlled remotely by Tang Ye, just like a shadow clone.

He quickly made a scabbard out of bone particles. Once the blade was sheathed, Tang Ye grabbed his belongings and started to head back to the group.

By this time, Qiongli had finally divided all the food into eighty-six parts. When everyone received their portion, no face looked pleasant. If they ate this food freely, it could only last for one meal. What would they do after it was finished?

Many people wanted to curse Qiongli, saying "If we knew this was going to happen, we wouldn’t have followed you". But when they saw the smallest portion in front of Qiongli, they swallowed the words they were about to say.

Qiongli obviously noticed what was going on in everyone’s minds. She lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking. After a while, she lifted her head, her eyes showing determination, "Everyone!"

People lifted their heads to look at her, not knowing what she was about to say.

"At this point, we have no choice but to take a gamble. In ancient China, there was a saying - ’Burning the boats and breaking the pots’. Today we’re going to do just that. This meal is going to be our last supper. Now that we’re here, is it fair to abandon the base we’ve worked so hard to come to? So let’s eat all the food. Tomorrow morning we’ll go to the gas station to see if we can find some resources."

Everyone’s eyes lit up. However, they quickly remembered the marauding biker gangs. Wouldn’t those beasts have already looted the gas stations clean?

But thinking about it, it seemed they had no other choice. How much could they save by rationing? How long would it last? Wouldn’t it be better to eat their fill and take a chance?

"Auntie, let me give you a bit."

"Ah? No need, you eat it."

"I don’t need that much."

Bai Xinran slid half of her food towards Qiongli. Qiongli had tears in her eyes, wanting to cry but unable to do so.

Just then Tang Ye returned, he walked over to the girl and threw a bunch of food at her.

"This is yours."
