Although it was a thrilling experience, fortunately, everyone was fine and their strength had improved. Among them, Yan Hanqing's injuries were the heaviest, but he also gained the most.
He had a special ability, and it was the famous lightning ability.
Originally, Yan Hanqing didn't say anything, but he felt inferior in his heart. After all, he was the only one without a special ability. He said that he wanted to repay Shao Qing, but he couldn't do anything. Until now, he really had the ability to fulfill his promise.
Er Dai, who was discovered, became more active. He ran and jumped in the forest, and used the bloody cloth to attract a lot of zombies. After that, he nimbly got into the car. Yan Hanqing quickly released his lightning ability. Suddenly, a large number of zombies were like epilepsy, twitching for a long time before lying down.
Shao Qing went forward and tried. She found that the zombies weren't dead yet, so she waited on the side. After a while, the zombies regained their ability to move. She and Gu Panpan quickly dealt with the zombies.
"After our experiment, we found that if there are one or two zombies, we can kill them in one hit. If there are too many of them, we can only make them temporarily lose their ability to move. Ordinary zombies will be affected for about ten seconds, and level two zombies will only be restricted for three to five seconds. The zombies within ten meters won't be able to escape, and the effect will be even worse if they are further away." Shao Qing rationally analyzed, "But Hanqing is only level one now. When his level increases, the corresponding power will also increase."
Yan Hanqing didn't feel dispirited. After all, being able to have a special ability was already a great progress. He should be able to help Shao Qing more as he slowly leveled up.
Shao Qing distributed the crystals to everyone, and then looked at the map, "We will soon reach Hanqing's hometown. Let's eat something. There is a fork in the road ahead, so we won't stop to rest at noon."
Shao Qing didn't need to eat, so she was responsible for driving. The others ate in the back. Shao Qing also fed Xiao Bao some food. There was a big river in front of them. The bridge across the river collapsed, blocking the road. Shao Qing had to ask Yan Hanqing, "Is there any other way?"
Yan Hanqing thought for a moment and said, "After passing the mountain in front, we will reach the cemetery in our village. It is said that the fengshui on the mountain is very good. Someone even rented the land in our village to build a cemetery. So, the road on the mountain should be able to walk."
Shao Qing nodded and turned the car directly into the mountain. The mountain road wasn't wide, just enough for one car to pass. If there was a car coming from the opposite direction, the wrong car wouldn't be able to pass.
Shao Qing didn't encounter anything along the way, and safely crossed the mountain. When she reached the other side of the mountain, she saw the cemetery that Yan Hanqing had mentioned.
The location of the cemetery was next to the cemetery in their village. Later, it was contracted by someone, and the cemetery was built in the name of good fengshui. There were many people who came here to buy a cemetery. They were all rich people who wanted to bury their dead in a place with good fengshui.
Because of the end of the world, this place was deserted. When Shao Qing passed by the cemetery, she took a look. Many graves had been dug up, and there were white bones on the side. They were probably eaten by the beasts in the mountain.
The construction of the cemetery was very grand, but the cemetery in Yan Hanqing's village was much colder. They were all small mounds, and the rows were not neat. Yan Hanqing quickly found his father's grave and knelt in front of it.
"Father, I'm back."
Yan Hanqing suddenly remembered that a long time ago, he had told his mother, "It doesn't matter, I will protect you on behalf of my father." However, he didn't do it.
Yan Hanqing's mother's body was well preserved. Except for a layer of frost, it looked like she was still alive.
Yan Hanqing dug the grave bit by bit with his bare hands. After nearly dying once, his body's tenacity and other aspects had become a lot stronger.
Shao Qing and the others didn't help Yan Hanqing. They just watched him dig up the grave, because everyone knew that Yan Hanqing needed to vent. This was the best way.
There was only an urn in the coffin. Yan Hanqing put his mother in it, and then put the urn on his mother's chest. After looking at it for a long time, he slowly closed the coffin and buried it.
Finally, Yan Hanqing knelt in front of the tombstone, and used a military knife to carve his mother's name on the tombstone, side by side with his father's name.
At that moment, Shao Qing felt that Yan Hanqing's back had collapsed. She could imagine how Yan Hanqing had carried his mother on his back and struggled to survive in the end of the world. Finally, he saw hope, but …
His mother should be all his hope and motivation. That was why Yan Hanqing was so lost when he buried his mother.
The lost Yan Hanqing looked at Shao Qing, and then he slowly calmed down, as if he had a goal to live on.
Shao Qing always felt that people like Yan Hanqing lived too tirelessly. His whole life was lived for others. Thinking about it carefully, wasn't she the same? Wasn't it her family that supported her to live on?
"Let's go …" Yan Hanqing looked at his palm. The fingertips that had been scraped by digging up the grave had already healed. That kind of strange recovery speed was almost comparable to Er Dai.
"Let's stay here for two days." Shao Qing shook her head. "I saw that many graves in the nearby cemetery were dug up, and the corpses were dragged out and eaten. I'm worried that there might be some beasts nearby. In case … we should stay and observe."
Yan Hanqing looked at Shao Qing and the others with some gratitude. He was a little embarrassed that they kept delaying because of him, but he wouldn't say thank you out loud. He would remember this friendship in his heart.
"Let's go to my house first." Yan Hanqing suggested. "My house is just beside the village, so it's convenient to come and go."
"Okay." Shao Qing nodded and led the group in the direction of Yan Hanqing's house. The single-story houses here were all in the courtyard, which was what the local dialect called the patio. They were covered with stainless steel covers, plastic films in winter, and gauze nets in summer to prevent mosquitoes, rain, and snow.
Yan Hanqing's house was the same, so they couldn't climb the wall without the key. They could only open the door by force. Gu Panpan wanted to open the door by force, but she was stopped by Gu Chuan. He took a military knife and cut the lock.
The house had been empty for a long time, so dust and cobwebs were everywhere. When the door was opened, the dust flew up arrogantly. The few of them covered their mouths and noses and walked in.
"Mom used to plant some vegetables in the courtyard, but we took them away when she left …" Yan Hanqing recalled the past and smiled. They walked into the courtyard and saw a few wilted vegetables standing crookedly on the piece of land in the middle of the courtyard that had been set aside for planting.
"They actually … grew again." Gu Panpan's eyes widened, and she clapped her hands. "Let's cook the vegetables tonight!"
Shao Qing pushed open the door to the central room. "Don't just focus on eating. Let's settle down and assign who to look after the cemetery tonight."
