Space rebirth: I was targeted by the doomsday boss

Chapter 42 42. Swallowing the crystal core by mistake

Two hours later, the three teams searching the hospital returned to their base to rest.

Although they are all special forces, they are still exhausted under such high-intensity tasks.

Qin Zeyan sat on the floor, drank some water and ate some bread.

Thinking of the mung bean-sized thing in my pocket, I took it out and washed the stains on it with water.

It looks like a spar, and you can see something flowing in the crystal when facing the sunlight.

At this moment, he was hit hard in the back, and his body threw forward uncontrollably.

Qin Zeyan's eyes widened as the crystal dropped from his hand, and he watched helplessly as the crystal flew into his throat.

"Ze Yan! Uh, are you okay!?" Zhou Quan went to help him in annoyance.

Qin Zeyan coughed violently, but the thing was not coughed out. He reached out to clasp it again, trying to induce vomiting.

"Zeyan! Zeyan! What's wrong with you!"

Zhou Quan was frightened by this, and when he learned that his parents had survived, he felt so happy that he lost control of his actions.

"Come on! Drink some water."

Qin Zeyan retched for a long time, but nothing came out.

"roll!"

That thing was found inside a zombie. Will he also become a zombie?! The more Qin Zeyan thought about it, the more panic he became.

Surrounded by resting warriors, if they really turned into zombies, then they...

"It's convenient for me to go out!" Leaving behind Zhou Quan who looked apologetic, Qin Zeyan left alone.

The nearby zombies had been cleared away. Qin Zeyan walked across a street and randomly found a small supermarket and locked himself in. He locked the door and blocked the door with debris.

He sat on the ground uneasily. If he really turned into a zombie, then he would be trapped here so that he would not hurt his comrades.

Thinking of my parents in the imperial capital... I couldn't contact them after the apocalypse broke out. I hope they can survive, even though I can't see them anymore.

MD! I am only twenty-four years old! I don’t even have a serious girlfriend! There are still many things I haven’t had time to do!

Qin Zeyan's anger and blood surged, he was unwilling to give in!

There was a cramp in my stomach and cold sweat broke out on my forehead.

Are we about to start...

Qin Zeyan lay on his back, waiting for death to come.

The colic didn't last long, and a heat spread from the stomach and traveled to the limbs.

Hunger hit him unexpectedly, and the empty feeling in his stomach made him panic.

Getting up from the ground and rummaging for food, Qin Zeyan kept stuffing it into his mouth like a severely overeating patient.

Feeling full, he came back to his senses.

There are packaging bags and empty bottles all over the floor...are these all eaten by yourself?

I felt my belly and there was no feeling of bloating.

Standing up with one hand on the ground, there was a cracking sound under his palm, and small cracks appeared on the hard floor tiles with his hand as the center.

Qin Zeyan frowned and knelt down to touch it with his hands.

The floor tiles were fine just now, did they crack themselves?

I raised my hand and looked repeatedly, but I couldn't see anything interesting at all.

Could it be that he has become stronger?

In order to verify his idea, he pressed his hand on the ground again. "Click", this time the ground was more completely broken than before.

He then held a metal shelf next to him, and when he exerted force, several clear fingerprints appeared on the shelf.

Qin Zeyan was dumbfounded. Is this... could it be because of that stone?

Until he returned to the shooting training range, he was still in a state of wandering mind.

Zhao Muchang was quite satisfied with this operation. Twenty-two people were rescued from the hospital, including nine doctors, three professors, and the remaining eight nurses and two caregivers.

More than a hundred people were rescued in residential areas, and some soldiers even found their relatives among the survivors.

But no one in his family was spared...

At the same time, Qin Zeyan made a decision. He planned to go out alone to hunt zombies and look for that strange crystal stone again.

It's been several hours since I returned to the station. Apart from getting stronger, I don't feel any obvious discomfort.

If that thing could really improve body functions, those zombies wouldn't be anything to be afraid of.

There was no need to go out to perform the mission the next day, so Qin Zeyan stayed out through the sealed back door of the shooting training ground.

You don't have to go far, it's in a two-story building near the shooting range.

This was originally a data archives building, and the exterior has been cleaned up, but there are still sporadic zombies inside. Because the number is small and the threat is not great, no manpower has been spared to clean it up for a while.

Qin Zeyan pulled out the steel pipe stuck on the door handle, and when he entered the door, he saw a zombie wandering out from the bookshelf.

The zombie was wearing a military green shirt, with gray hair, and the reading glasses originally on his face were missing.

Qin Zeyan knew him, Lao Liu.

Lao Liu is a veteran who was unwilling to leave the army after he was discharged. He worked as a logistics worker and now works as a janitor, and has stayed at the station all his life.

I have the impression that Lao Liu is very talkative and can chat with anyone he meets for a long time.

I remember he once said that looking at the young men in the camp was like seeing his own son.

His son was also a soldier and died in the line of duty while on a mission.

It's just that now he is no longer Old Liu. He no longer has the loving eyes and hearty smile, and his wrinkled face only has a look of despair and death.

He has a new name, zombie.

Without any hesitation, Qin Zeyan aimed the three-edged thorn in his hand at the zombie's head and pierced it.

It's just that this time he didn't find a crystal in his throat. Doesn't every zombie have a crystal?

His eyes fell back on the zombie. The front was open, and the pale skin was visible under the vest. The blood vessels were like tree roots growing wantonly, but...the blood vessels seemed to be converging in one place.

Qin Zeyan took off the zombie's shirt, and black blood vessels gathered on the shoulders, like spider webs.

He stretched out his hand and pressed on the gathering point, as if he touched a hard lump.

His eyes lit up and he cut the skin with a knife.

Sure enough, an identical crystal was found in the flesh and blood.

He looked at the corpse on the ground and pulled off a piece of curtain to cover the corpse.

Return to the station, clean the stains on the crystal, and then throw it into your mouth.

This time the colic was not as severe as before, but the hunger still made him uncomfortable.

There wasn't much food at the training ground, so Qin Zeyan's appetite attracted many people's attention.

"I said Qin Zeyan, how many days have you not eaten?"

A guy who was usually at loggerheads with Qin Zeyan came over and teased him, "Now everyone saves money when they can, but you can eat and drink like crazy!"

Qin Zeyan had no time to pay attention to him and only focused on filling his stomach. But his stomach was like a bottomless pit and he ate more than before.

The way he ate it frightened Zhou Quan, thinking he had some mental problem.

There have been precedents before where people suffered mental breakdown due to being unable to accept the reality.

Although Zhou Quan did not believe that Qin Zeyan would collapse, he was still worried about him.

"Zeyan, are you okay?"

Qin Zeyan, who was finally full, sighed comfortably, "...it's okay."

The person involved here said it was okay, but someone over there turned around and made a report.

This matter concerned Zhao Muchang. Qin Zeyan was a young man he had always been optimistic about.

The apocalypse has come suddenly, and seeing your loved ones and comrades turned into zombies, it is understandable that you will have some mental problems.

However, he was not in a hurry to find someone to talk to, but sent someone to watch secretly from the side.

Qin Zeyan didn't know that he was being targeted, so he went out alone to hunt one or two zombies to get crystals to take.

After taking it for several days, he could feel that he was getting stronger, and even his vision, hearing and smell had improved.

The soldier responsible for keeping an eye on him reported his sneaking out to Zhao Muchang.
