(This is a small side story in which the male protagonist travels back in time to a time before the female protagonist has traveled through the post-apocalyptic world.

On the desolate sandy ground.
Qin Yao finally knocked to death the mutated lizard that was covered in pustules and had a huge odor.
There wasn't a single cloud in the blue sky.
The scorching sun is radiating its heat unbridled.
Qin Yao, who was wrapped in the heat wave, was still sweating like rain on her exposed head, even though she was wearing a close-fitting protective suit made of special cooling materials.
Large beads of salty sweat rolled down from the tips of her hair, and disappeared as soon as they touched the hot sand.
The dead mutated lizards exuded a stench like dead fish.
The huge body, which is six meters long, makes the stench difficult to dissipate for a long time.
Qin Yao has long been accustomed to this smell.
After all, she had just fought with the mutated lizard for half an hour, and she didn't smell much.
Rested for a minute.
Qin Yao put the gauze scarf around her neck on her head, covering her head and face, revealing only a pair of cold and ruthless eyes.
She wiped the flesh and blood off the stick with sand and put it away.
He took out a boning knife and a sealed bag from his travel backpack and walked towards the dead mutant lizard.
Disembowelled.
A large amount of green slime gushed out mixed with a pile of guts.
Qin Yao frowned slightly, took out a piece of meat that looked like a lizard's heart from the pile of disgusting things, and put it into a sealed bag.
This thing can be exchanged for a bottle of clean water at the trading stall at the base.
Using the sand to get rid of the liquid on his hands, Qin Yao put her travel bag on her back, holding the stick in her hand, and continued walking eastward along the road that was once built in the sand but was now devastated.
The desert environment is not suitable for animals and plants to survive.
The original living population was also small, and humans who were infected into zombies were easy to clean up.
So the surviving humans built their base underground in the desert.
However, there are still mutated birds that will form groups to invade human bases, as well as a few species of animals and plants that are originally adapted to the sandy soil environment.
But compared to other forest basin and river valley areas, the living environment in the desert area is already considered friendly to humans.
The only bad thing may be the shortage of food and drinking water resources.
I heard that biological companies are already researching ways to make mutated animals edible. It may not be long before humans will no longer worry about food shortages.
But for Qin Yao, she might not even be able to wait for that day.
Lo and behold, there were several human-shaped black figures in front of them, glaring at her with their empty, dry, beadless eyes.
Not only people are hungry, zombies are also hungry.
Especially those rookie zombies who can't defeat mutated animals.
Qin Yao slowly took out the thermos bottle from her backpack, opened the lid, and took a sip of cool water to replenish her strength.
It was so hot today that people would be roasted, and these zombies jumped out from nowhere.
Qin Yao put away the thermos pot and rushed forward with a stick.
"Bang, bang, bang," five consecutive blows, and a shriveled head followed immediately after the stick fell.
Qin Yao put away her stick, clicked her tongue twice, kicked away the zombie corpses blocking her feet, and was about to move forward.
There was a sudden exclamation in my ears.
"Lady?"
"My wife, it's really you!"
"It's me, madam, madam!"
"Madam, madam."
The sound of stumbling footsteps came through the sand on the left side of the road.
Qin Yao could make an immediate judgment without looking back - he was someone she could crush to death with one finger.
She stood on the devastated road, her figure as tall as a pine tree, turned slightly sideways, and looked over against the setting sun.
Although he couldn't see the face of the woman on the road clearly, Liu Ji could recognize the familiar scent as his wife at a glance.
He bet a hundred ngawang that it must be her!
Liu Ji didn't know why he took a nap in his courtyard and woke up in a desert filled with yellow sand. Just when I was wondering if it was a dream, there seemed to be several beast-like roars not far away.
He got up from the sand and looked out, looking right into the zombie's sunken, beadless eyes.
I was so frightened that I almost screamed.
But soon, very soon.
He felt relieved.
Isn't the person holding a black stick with a monster in his hand the same as his wife?
Before he fell asleep, she was still enjoying the cool air in the rocking chair in the courtyard.
With his wife here, he won't be afraid even if the King of Heaven comes.
The heat wave hit hard, and Liu Ji, who was wearing a long gown, was so hot that he almost fainted.
He stepped over this stretch of sand, one step at a time, and finally came to the cracked black road (asphalt).
A dry hand suddenly stretched out from the crack and grabbed Liu Ji's foot.
His whole body froze, and he looked down at a skeleton-like humanoid monster with a toothless mouth, roaring at him, and his mouth was full of saliva.
Liu Ji's eyes widened instantly, his mouth reacted faster than his brain, and he screamed and shouted:
"Honey, save me!!"
A black stick fell from the sky and hit the withered arm hard.
Liu Ji felt that the ground beneath his feet was shaking, making him dizzy.
When he regained his composure, the monster in the crack had already been stabbed through the head with a stick.
Qin Yao took out her long stick and raised her eyes to glance at the strange, squeaking human in front of her.
Why do you say he is strange?
Because he doesn't look like someone who has lived in the apocalypse at all.
He looks to be in his late thirties or early forties, with a rosy and shiny complexion.
His teeth are straight and his skin is in incredible condition.
The meat is also very filling, as if you can eat every meal, and the nutrition is balanced.
He was also dressed strangely. In a high temperature environment close to 60 degrees, he actually dared to hike in the desert without wearing protective clothing.
Her hair is still long and fixed with a jade ornament. She looks like someone from a costume TV series.
Qin Yao has not seen anyone so human-like in ten years.
The man in front of her was so good-looking that she couldn't believe he was human.
But recently, I haven't heard from researchers from biological companies that they have discovered such mutated animals and plants that look like humans or advanced mutated zombies.
After looking at the other person again to make sure it was just a human.
Qin Yao turned around and left.
I never expected that the person who just screamed and didn't know what he was shouting was.
Suddenly he reached out and took her hand.
Qin Yao almost subconsciously took out the dagger and stabbed it.
Unexpectedly, the man dodged her attack.
It was as if he was already familiar with her attack methods and attack paths.
There is no skill in hiding, it is all instinct.
She frowned, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
As if frightened by her cruel look, the man froze on the spot and did not move any further.
Qin Yao then sheathed her sword and continued to move forward.
But not long after she walked out, there were footsteps behind her.
Since this man was not threatening, Qin Yao did not waste any energy and went back to kill him.
Liu Ji was so hot that he could hardly think.
If he read it correctly, the woman just now really wanted to kill him without any hesitation.
So is this really his wife?
She looked nothing like his wife.
It's not like forgetting it, he just got close, and when he took a closer look, he was actually bald!
Fortunately, Qin Yao couldn't hear his voice, otherwise Gao Xiao would have retreated and given him a knife. (End of chapter)
