I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

Chapter 1148 Shocking Changes on the Continent

"Is it noon yet?"

After spending half the night comforting Sun Xiaoyan, Qin Zhong had a good night's sleep. When he opened his eyes, he realized that it was already noon.

Qin Zhong was slightly surprised. Although he knew he had slept for a long time, he did not expect to sleep until noon.

You should know that since his evolutionary level has improved, his sleep time has become shorter and shorter. Although he is not yet at the point where he does not need sleep, he only needs to take a short nap for two hours every day to restore all his energy.

Perhaps it was because I was back in my own territory and completely relaxed, plus I had worked hard all night, that I slept for so long without realizing it.

After tidying up quickly, Qin Zhong and Sun Xiaoyan went out together to get some food.

When Qin Zhong arrived at the cafeteria, he was surprised to find that Wang Boshen and the others were not eating there, but were gathered together, seemingly discussing something.

At the same time, Qin Zhong also noticed that the number of sentries patrolling around the base seemed to have increased significantly.

This feeling of impending doom made Qin Zhong frown, a bad premonition rising in his heart.

Has something happened?

"Brother Qin, you're finally up! We were just hesitating whether we should go and wake you up!"

Upon seeing Qin Chong arrive, Wang Boshen and the others immediately surrounded him, and then said with grave expressions, "Brother Qin, we just received news that something big has happened on the mainland!"

"event?!"

Upon hearing Wang Boshen's words, Qin Zhong raised an eyebrow, frowned, and asked, "Tell me slowly, what is this big deal, and how did you find out?"

"The message was brought by You Keliang from the Military Intelligence Department. He only said a few words about something happening on the mainland before he was seriously injured and passed out. Even Li Hailan's healing superpower couldn't wake him up."

Hearing Qin Zhong's words, Wang Boshen calmed himself down and said, "Li Hailan said that he fell into a coma because he overused his superpowers. This kind of coma can only be awakened on its own. No matter how much life force is poured in, it will be of no use."

"For You Keliang to risk crossing the ocean to deliver this message, something truly significant must have happened on the mainland."

Upon hearing that it was You Keliang who had come to deliver the message and was still unconscious, Qin Zhong's face darkened. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Let's go, take me to see You Keliang. Perhaps I can wake him up."

"Yes!" Upon hearing Qin Zhong's instructions, Wang Boshen nodded and led Qin Zhong toward the medical room.

Upon arriving at the medical room, You Keliang was found lying unconscious on the hospital bed.

Upon seeing Qin Zhong, Wang Boshen, and the others enter, Li Hailan immediately came over. Qin Zhong chatted with Li Hailan briefly, and sure enough, You Keliang's situation was largely the same as what Wang Boshen had described.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Chong went directly to the bedside and saw that You Keliang's already fair face now looked even paler, without a trace of blood.

Even his originally azure hair seemed to have turned dull, and his whole being was filled with an aura of powerlessness and despondency.

"His energy is extremely depleted right now; he's lucky to be alive. It will be difficult for him to wake up without at least ten days to two weeks of recuperation!"

Just as Qin Chong frowned and observed You Keliang, Li Boshen's face showed an unusual solemnity. He said, "In his situation, either he was seriously injured on the shore and then dragged his injured body across the ocean to come here; or he wanted to get here as soon as possible and unleashed his power without restraint to speed up his journey. Whatever the reason, he is probably in big trouble on the mainland."

"What you said is exactly what I was thinking."

Qin nodded, then frowned and said, "But we'll only know what exactly happened when he wakes up. However, perhaps I can help him wake up sooner..."

After saying that, Qin Chong flipped his hand and took out a meteorite essence from his spatial ring. This time, he had swept through the League of Legends' secret vault during his trip to the United States and reaped a great harvest.

In the past, Qin Zhong would have been reluctant to give the meteorite essence to You Keliang, but now, with his deep pockets, Qin Zhong didn't care anymore in order to get the information as soon as possible.

As a meteorite essence was injected into You Keliang's body, layers of faint blue light began to appear on the surface of his body, and his complexion visibly became rosy.

"This must be the essence of a meteorite! Giving it to him is such a waste!"

Seeing You Keliang slowly recovering after being given an injection by Qin Zhong, a look of regret immediately appeared on Li Hailan's face.

"Hehe, there's nothing to regret. As long as it can be used in the right place, it's not a waste!" Hearing Li Hailan's words, Qin Zhong shook his head with a faint smile and shifted his gaze to You Keliang.

After being injected with the essence of the meteorite, You Keliang's depleted energy began to recover rapidly. Although it was impossible for him to return to his full strength in a short time, it was enough to awaken him from his slumber.

……

"Cough cough cough..."

Sure enough, not long after, accompanied by a violent cough, You Keliang suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight.

The headache caused by energy depletion made it impossible for him to focus his consciousness for a while, and he had no idea where he was.

After a long while, You Keliang's scattered gaze finally focused, settling on Qin Zhong. He trembled and exclaimed in surprise, "Qin Zhong, you're back? That's wonderful! I was just wondering how to contact you! Something terrible has happened on the mainland! Eight survivor settlements, including our military intelligence base, have been completely destroyed in just a few days! The purpose of my trip here is to ask you for help!"

"What? Including your branch base, eight settlements have already been destroyed?" You Keliang's words shocked everyone present.

It should be understood that the settlements that have survived from the early days of the apocalypse to the present day, through the survival of the fittest, are far superior to those settlements in the early stages of evolution in terms of both the number of evolved individuals and their military strength.

Any settlement could easily handle tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of zombies, yet these bases, which had survived countless dangers, were completely destroyed in just a few days.

Thinking about it this way, what a terrifying and enormous force must have destroyed these settlements!

"Have you figured out who the enemy is? Are they zombies, Devil Mountain, or even aliens from Planet X?"

After a moment of contemplation, Qin Chong frowned and asked, "Aside from the zombies, the Demon Mountain, and the X-stars, who else could destroy so many settlements in just a few days with both the ability and the motive?"

"I don't know, but the first settlement to be destroyed was located near Shanghai. When we received the news, we immediately sent a reconnaissance corps to investigate. However, the entire reconnaissance team was wiped out, and not a single person returned."

At this point, You Keliang paused for a moment, then continued, "We then dispatched a second reconnaissance team. This time, the team leader and deputy leader were both level five evolvers with very powerful awakened superpowers. However, after they entered that area, they seemed to have vanished without a trace, and no news came back."

"And then? Are you sending any more people?" Qin Zhong asked with a gloomy expression.

You Keliang shook his head and said with a solemn expression, "Given this situation, Minister Chen asked me to go to your ministry for help. After all, it must be extraordinary that so many people couldn't even escape alive. But on my way to your ministry for help, several enemies who looked like children suddenly blocked my way and attacked me."

At this point, You Keliang's expression grew increasingly grim. He frowned and said, "They're called children, but their bodies have clearly undergone biochemical modifications. They possess claws similar to T-type zombies and long tongues like L-type zombies. They're incredibly fast, incredibly strong, and skilled in combined attacks. If it weren't for the large river nearby, I probably would have died at their hands long ago. But even so, I was seriously injured..."

"Near Shanghai? A bio-weapon created by combining humans and zombies?"

Upon hearing You Keliang's words, Qin Zhong's heart sank. The only one capable of possessing such technology and strength was undoubtedly Demon Mountain. It seemed that in order to eliminate humanity as soon as possible, Demon Mountain, or rather the X-star people, were truly going to any lengths.

At the same time, the situation in Shanghai also made Qin Zhong worry about the safety of Song City. After all, Song City was not far from Shanghai, and if such a problem occurred in Shanghai, he wondered if Song City was in danger.

Thinking about this, Qin Zhong couldn't sit still. After all, there were hundreds of thousands of survivors in Songcheng, and his woman Chi Xinru was there too. If something happened there, he couldn't bear the consequences.

Most importantly, communication is not smooth in the post-apocalyptic world; otherwise, we could still communicate by phone.

After pondering for a while, Qin nodded and said, "You Keliang, you stay here to recover from your injuries. I'll go back to the mainland by myself. The rest of you, start preparing for battle and be ready to provide support at my command. I have a feeling that this turmoil has only just begun and will escalate. You must be on high alert at all times to prevent a sudden enemy attack."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Qin Zhong's words, Wang Boshen and the others nodded in unison. Given the current uncertain situation, they could not rashly follow Qin Zhong to the mainland, so they could only stay at the base and await Qin Zhong's orders at any time.
