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

Chapter 696: Dead on Horseback

"boom!"

Driven by the shock wave, Qin Zhong's speed soared again. With a loud bang, he slammed through the railing of the top-floor stairs, and then fell heavily into the stairwell.

"puff!"

As soon as he landed, Qin Zhong spat out a mouthful of blood. In order to save the lives of Xiao Li and others, he tried his best to withstand the shock wave during the ascent.

At this moment, when he looked inside, he saw that his internal organs were damaged and a large amount of blood began to accumulate in his chest.

"Congeal!"

However, for Qin Zhong, who possesses the superpower of metal mimicry, this degree of internal organ damage is not too serious.

He quickly activated his special ability and reshaped his internal organs. As the golden light flashed, the cracks in his internal organs healed instantly, and the blood accumulated in his chest was also reabsorbed by him.

"Phew, that was close. If it was more serious, I would have suffered a lot!" Feeling his injuries slowly recovering, Qin Zhong sat on the ground and took a few deep breaths.

In fact, if it was just him just now, he would not be injured so seriously. After all, he used most of his energy to protect Xiao Li and others, which led to his serious injuries.

However, he also has a bottom line. After all, he has abilities that are different from ordinary people, and this is also his way to save his life.

"Old Five, Old Five, wake up!"

Just as Qin Zhong was recovering from his injuries, Xiao Li's wails suddenly reached his ears.

"what happened?"

Hearing Xiao Li's cry, Qin Zhong turned his head and saw Xiao Li, with burn marks all over his body, holding his subordinate named Lao Wu and wailing continuously.

Qin Zhong hurried over to take a look, and his heart sank. It turned out that a palm-sized charred piece of wood had been stuck in Lao Wu's chest at some point.

At this moment, a large amount of blood was seeping out from under the wood piece, and then dripping onto the ground, forming a small pool of blood.

"Cough cough!"

Hearing Xiao Li's call, Lao Wu opened his eyes with difficulty and coughed heavily twice. A large amount of blood foam covered Xiao Li's face as he coughed.

But Xiao Li didn't care. He just held Lao Wu's hand tightly and asked, "Brother, it's okay. You have to hold on!"

"This time, well, I'm afraid it really won't work, cough cough..."

Hearing Xiao Li's words, Lao Wu's face suddenly flushed. He coughed twice and cursed, "Damn it, what bad luck! That piece of wood... is like it has eyes... cough cough... It actually bounced back to me. It seems that this time... I really can't hold on, cough cough cough..."

Having said this, Lao Wu couldn't continue and started coughing violently.

"No, no..."

Looking at the bloodied Old Five, Monkey and Langya beside Xiao Li also burst into tears. Langya suddenly looked at Qin Zhong and begged, "Qin Zhong, Brother Qin, you must have a way to cure him, right? Please, save him!"

"I'm sorry, I can't help it..."

Looking at Xiao Li and the others with sad faces, Qin Zhong shook his head helplessly, and said with a hint of regret: "However, I have a crystal core here. If you are not afraid of turning into a zombie, you can give it a try! Maybe..."

Qin Zhong didn't say anything else, as he believed that the other party could understand what he meant. Then, he flipped his hand, and a second-level crystal core appeared in his palm.

……

"This……"

Looking at the crystal core in Qin Zhong's hand, Xiao Li hesitated. He understood what Qin Zhong meant. At this time, if he used the crystal core, there was indeed a chance that he could give it a try and perhaps successfully advance to the second-level evolver.

But the probability of such promotion is extremely low, so low that it is almost impossible to see. Xiao Li didn't know for a moment whether to help Lao Wu make this decision.

"Give it to me, I'll try!"

Lao Wu raised his hand tremblingly. Qin Zhong placed the crystal core in his hand after hesitation, then turned and looked outside, as if he couldn't bear to watch any longer.

"No, there must be another way, Lao Wu!"

Seeing Lao Wu raising his hand to insert the crystal core into the wound, Xiao Li's face turned pale, then he shook his head, grabbed Lao Wu's hand, and shouted: "Lao Wu, this is too dangerous, if you..."

"Haha, Captain..." Lao Wu stared at Xiao Li, smiled painfully, and said weakly: "If I really turn into a zombie, then please kill me! I am willing to die at your hands!"

"Lao Wu!"

"brother!"

After hearing what Lao Wu said, Xiao Li, Lang Ya and others burst into tears, but they also knew that if they didn't fight at this time, they would be dead.

Then, Lao Wu made up his mind and stuffed the crystal core into his wound. As soon as the crystal core entered his flesh and blood, it quickly melted and disappeared.

As the crystal core entered his body, Lao Wu's expression gradually relaxed, and he seemed to have fallen asleep.

Everyone stared at Lao Wu's expression, hoping for a miracle to happen. Soon, everyone saw that Lao Wu's body began to tremble slightly, and the trembling was getting more and more intense.

This is?

"Laowu, Laowu, then wake up!" Xiao Li patted Laowu's shoulder nervously, hoping that his brother would open his eyes.

But unfortunately, the next moment, Lao Wu did open his eyes, but those eyes were no longer the eyes of a living person, but a dead look. When he saw Xiao Li, he opened his mouth wide and bit him.

Langya and Monkey saw this and quickly held up Lao Wu, who had turned into a zombie. Langya shouted to Xiao Li in pain, "Captain, Lao Wu, Lao Wu is beyond saving. Please give him a ride!"

Xiao Li's face was gloomy. Looking at Lao Wu who was struggling in front of him and trying to bite him, he sighed deeply. He knew that Lao Wu in front of him was no longer his brother. In this case, he might as well send him off!

"Pfft!"

The next moment, Xiao Li had a saber in his hand, and he stabbed it into Lao Wu's head from his chin. Soon, Lao Wu died after struggling slightly.

At the moment of death, Xiao Li and others seemed to see a look of relief on Lao Wu's face.

"Lao Wu!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

For a moment, Xiao Li and others burst into tears. Who said that men don't shed tears? It's just because they haven't reached the time to be sad.

"I am sorry for your loss!"

Looking at Lao Wu's body, Qin Zhong couldn't help but feel a pity in his heart. These soldiers, even in the end times when order collapsed and morality fell, still adhered to their inner beliefs.

This kind of person is the most respectable one.

"It's okay. Dying on the battlefield is the fate every soldier must face."

After hearing Qin Zhong's words, Xiao Li, who had calmed down, shook his head, wiped away the tears from his eyes, and said solemnly, "We are lucky that the building didn't collapse. However, it should be difficult to kill the monsters downstairs with just this explosion. We should think about what to do next!"

“Crack!”

Just as Xiao Li finished speaking, the building suddenly shook violently twice, and then the sound of metal twisting and tearing rang out from all over the building.

Fortunately, the whole building only shook for a moment and then quickly returned to calm.
