Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 141: Chapter 141 Orange Protective Light Retreat

Zhou Qiang finished speaking, his eyes closed, and he fainted.

Long Yongjun glanced at Zhao Gang:

”What do we do?”

”Nonsense, carry him and bring him back to the cave first.”

Long Yongjun immediately carried Zhou Qiang back to the cave, where Yang Xiao and others gathered around.

Zhou Qiang had been to Kongming Academy many times before, so many people recognized him.

”Isn’t that Zhou Qiang?”

”What happened to him?”

”He seems to have gotten a lot thinner, doesn’t he?”

”His body is covered in blood, and he has wounds, what happened?”

...

Zhao Gang relayed what Zhou Qiang said to Yang Xiao:

”Boss, Zhou Qiang said ’Xianan University is in danger, hurry and save us’.”

”Did he say anything else?”

”No, he fainted after saying that.”

”Hmm, looking at him, he seems to be starving. Do we have any leftover wolf meat soup? Give him a few sips, it’s cold outside, get him warm on the heated bed.”

A moment later, Zhou Qiang had a dream where he saw a big pot of wolf meat and ate voraciously. He mumbled,

”Damn, finally had a full meal, I was starving to death.”

”Hey, Zhou Qiang, wake up, come have some hot soup.”

Long Yongjun brought a bowl of wolf meat soup.

Zhou Qiang opened his eyes, saw Yang Xiao, and others felt warm all over, looked down and realized he was lying on the heated bed, then smelled the aroma of wolf meat, saw the bowl of wolf meat soup in Long Yongjun’s hands, took it without a word, and gulped it down.

”Holy shit, is he reincarnated from a starving ghost? Don’t rush, it’s hot.”

Zhou Qiang didn’t care if it was hot or not, drank it all in one breath, and asked pitifully:

”Is there any more? Give me some meat!”

Yang Xiao smiled and said:

”Get him a big basin of meat, add two potatoes.”

Xu Nanqiang already brought it over, placing it in front of Zhou Qiang.

Seeing the basin full of wolf meat, Zhou Qiang immediately grabbed and eagerly chewed on it, oblivious to the curious glances around him.

Deng Xiao, still worried about his cousin Xia Luo’s safety, ran over and asked,

”Zhou Qiang, where’s my cousin? How is he?”

Zhou Qiang, busy eating voraciously, wanted to speak but couldn’t manage, ate too quickly, choked on a piece of meat, eyes rolling back.

”Water, give him some water. Zhou Qiang, don’t rush, eat slowly,

Deng Xiao, stop asking for now, let him eat a bit,

Sigh, I guess the situation at Xianan University isn’t good, last time I reminded Xia Luo to prepare for the coming of winter, he didn’t care, thought that his body had evolved and could resist the cold, but he never expected this winter to last so long,

Seeing Zhou Qiang like this, I’m afraid Xianan University ran out of food long ago.”

Yang Xiao said.

Zhou Qiang took a couple of sips of water, swallowed the meat stuck in his throat, placed the meat basin beside the bed, and jumped off the bed, kneeling in front of Yang Xiao with a thump:

”Yang Xiao, please save our brothers and sisters at Xianan University, they are all starving to death...”

Zhou Qiang said this, recalling the tragic situation of Xianan University, and choked up with tears.

Yang Xiao was shocked and quickly reached out to support Zhou Qiang.

How proud was Zhou Qiang before? He would never kneel unless it was a last resort.

Zhou Qiang didn’t get up and grabbed Yang Xiao’s hand, saying:

”Yang Xiao, there were misunderstandings between us before, my brothers have even killed people from your school, I apologize to you, I admit my wrongs, even if you kill me for revenge, please, save our brothers from Xianan University!”

After Zhou Qiang finished speaking, he kowtowed three times loudly, stunning Yang Xiao.

”Zhou Qiang, stand up and talk.”

Zhou Qiang continued to choke up:

”Yang Xiao, please, for the sake of us all being the same kind, save the people from Xianan University. More than a thousand people from our university have died, most of them starved or froze to death, we haven’t had a full meal in two months, not to mention suffering from cold...”

Zhou Qiang spoke, remembering the familiar friends, classmates, and acquaintances he used to greet every day, each of them dying tragically, and he himself could only watch his brothers and sisters die, helpless, and couldn’t help but burst into loud cries.

The miserable situation was naturally empathized by Yang Xiao and others; since entering this apocalyptic world, most people in this cave had experienced the taste of hunger and faced the threat of death at every moment.

Zhao Gang originally harbored hatred towards Zhou Qiang for killing his classmates last time, but seeing Zhou Qiang like this, his heart also felt uneasy.

In this post-apocalyptic world, they not only faced competition between humans but also a life-and-death struggle between humans and other mutated creatures.

As the saying goes, ’When one rabbit dies, another grieves,’ and with humans facing attacks from mutated creatures, the hatred between people can gradually weaken, and even require everyone to forget the hatred and join hands to fight against other mutated creatures.

Yang Xiao helped Zhou Qiang up,

”Zhou Qiang, don’t worry for now, have some food first, and tell us about your situation.”

Zhou Qiang stood up and gobbled down a large bowl of wolf meat, ate several potatoes, drank a bowl of soup, and then belched satisfyingly.

Man is iron, food is steel; miss a meal, and you’ll panic!

A full meal immediately made Zhou Qiang fully revitalized, his spirit re-energized, and filled with fighting spirit.

Zhou Qiang briefly mentioned the situation at Xianan University,

”...Just when our last bit of food was about to run out, the day before yesterday, suddenly, a group of giant mutated wolves came and surrounded our classroom building from the outside, you know, our classroom building is protected by the orange glow from the Genetic Store, those wolves dared not come in, the wolf pack just surrounded us from a distance,

Xia Luo decided to take a risk with us, to hunt the mutant wolves outside, rather than starve or freeze to death, it was better to die fighting,

In the first battle we were lucky, killed eight wolves, everyone had a full meal, and even obtained five pieces of Snow Wolf Armor, which actually have the effect of withstanding severe cold, and it’s warm when worn.”

As Zhou Qiang spoke, he unzipped his coat, revealing the Snow Wolf Armor inside, and proudly patted it, not knowing that Yang Xiao already had thirty pieces of the same Snow Wolf Armor.

”Isn’t that good? With meat to eat and clothes to wear, why suddenly come to ask for help?”

Zhao Gang taunted.

For Zhou Qiang, his heart still felt somewhat unhappy, after all, they were once enemies, though he later avenged himself by killing some of Zhou Qiang’s brothers, but such hatred isn’t easily dissipated.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qiang’s face immediately turned somber, and he sighed:

”Alas, those Snow Wolves are very cunning, and their evolution level is very high, among them is a large silver Snow Wolf King, probably already at the Enhanced Gene Stage, very powerful,

The first battle of the Snow Wolves was just a test of our strength, during the second battle, apart from the Snow Wolves confronting us head-on, don’t know from where, but more than a hundred Snow Wolves appeared, led by a new Wolf King,

The two groups of Snow Wolves joined forces to fight us from front and back, we suffered heavy casualties, in that battle alone, more than a hundred Elite Soldiers died, countless injured, we couldn’t even grab a Snow Wolf’s corpse, and had to hastily retreat back to the classroom building.”

As Zhou Qiang mentioned this, he recalled yesterday’s fierce battle, still filled with lingering fears and great trepidation.

”What happened next? And my cousin, Xia Luo?”

Deng Xiao asked urgently.

Zhou Qiang’s eyes dimmed, saying:

”There is a bigger crisis after, the owner of the Genetic Store told us, since I haven’t traded Genetic Fragments with them for over three months, the orange protective glow from the Genetic Store will retract by thirty meters, do you know, retracting thirty meters will just leave our classroom building out of protective circle.”

”Ah!”

Yang Xiao and the others cried out in shock.
