"ah!"

Ziqing was frightened by the strange sound and screamed, immediately raised the gun in her hand and shot into the bushes.

"Bang bang bang..." Ziqing fired several shots into the bushes randomly.

A figure immediately jumped out of the bushes, raised his hands, and shouted:

"Ziqing, don't shoot, it's me, it's me."

"Lei Ming? Why is it you?" Ziqing put down the pistol.

Lei Ming looked helpless and touched his left arm.

"Lei Ming, did I hit you just now?" Ziqing looked panicked and looked closer.

"It's okay, it's just a scratch."

"Why are you hiding here?"

"I didn't hide here on purpose. I have been looking for you before. I finally found you, but I saw Jiang Feng and you together. I thought that you might be having a tryst, so I hid for the time being."

"What do you want from me?"

"Let's sit down and talk."

Lei Ming looked left and right and saw several large wooden piles next to the lake, with more than a dozen growth rings on the wooden piles.

The two people came to the wooden pile and sat down respectively.

"Tell me, you have something on your mind, right?"

"Ziqing, why have you not had much contact with us in the past two days? Instead, you have so much contact with Jiang Feng? Rumors have spread that Jiang Feng secretly went to find you in the middle of the night and was beaten by his wife the next day."

"Do you believe these rumors?"

"I just don't believe it, so I took the time to come find you."

"Then let me tell you, Jiang Feng did come to my room, but we just chatted and did nothing."

"Do you like Jiang Feng?"

"Yes."

After hearing Zi Qing's affirmative answer, Lei Ming's face suddenly darkened.

Seeing this, Ziqing quickly explained:

"Don't get me wrong, it's not the kind of love between a man and a woman. Jiang Feng has a wife, and I don't want to be the third party."

"What's that like?"

Ziqing turned to the lake, looked at the sparkling lake, and said with emotion:

"It's better to rely on me than to like him. Jiang Feng has the shadow of my brother. Looking at him, it's as if my brother is still by my side. It's an inexplicable sense of security, and I can't even explain it myself."

"I am also very powerful, and I will also protect you."

"I know, but you are not strong enough. I know you like me, but, I'm sorry, let's continue to be friends."

Zi Qing's words were very direct and deeply hurt Lei Ming's heart.

Lei Ming also turned his eyes to the lake, clasped his hands and fell silent.

Looking at Lei Ming who was silent, Zi Qing didn't know what to say.

Recalling the time at the military base, Lei Ming would often bring the hard-earned food to Zi Qing and try his best to be nice to Zi Qing.

However, in Ziqing's heart, she always regarded Lei Ming as her younger brother.

Zi Qing knew Lei Ming's thoughts, so she had always been very confused.

Tonight, Ziqing finally rejected Lei Ming with cruel words. She hoped that Lei Ming would just give up.

Lei Ming was in pain after being rejected, but Zi Qing was not in pain either.

I obviously don't want to say those hurtful words, but I have to say them. For Lei Ming's sake and for my own sake, instead of getting entangled, it's better to confess directly. The long-term pain will be worse than the short-term pain.

"I will become stronger, I can do it." Lei Ming suddenly grabbed Zi Qing's hand hard.

"Don't do this, you won't understand. I don't want to bear the pain of losing my loved ones anymore. If possible, I don't want to have anything to do with anyone now."

After Ziqing finished speaking, she forcefully shook off Lei Ming's hand.

"Are you really not giving me any chance?" Lei Ming became a little excited.

"I am 20 years old and you are only 17. Our emotions are not at the same pace. If you just want to fall in love, I suggest you find a girl who is the same age as you or a little younger than you."

Zi Qing's words this time were even more unpleasant than before. While Lei Ming was hurt and frustrated, a little anger was rising in his heart.

Seeing Lei Ming's hair slowly stand up, Ziqing was so frightened that she stood up and kept backing away.

Lei Ming immediately pulled his hair down and said, "Ziqing, don't be afraid, I'm not angry."

At this time, Ziqing and Lei Ming suddenly heard the sound of the nearby grass shaking violently.

The two people looked around and saw a middle-aged woman with a high nose and blond hair running over in a panic.

This middle-aged woman comes from the continent of Europe. She married here more than ten years ago and has a mixed-race daughter.

After the apocalypse, her husband died, but the mother and daughter were very lucky to become cyborgs and survived. Now this middle-aged woman and her daughter happen to live next door to Zi Qing.

"Ziqing, Ziqing, have you seen my daughter?"

"Are you talking about Lemu?"

"Yes, Lemu said an hour ago that she came here to pick some water lilies from the lake, but she hasn't returned to the dormitory yet."

"An hour ago? It's been almost an hour since I came here, and I didn't see Lemu."

"What should we do? She is only 16 years old, is it possible?" The middle-aged woman burst into tears.

"Don't make blind guesses. Let's find someone to help quickly. Let's look for it together."

After Ziqing finished speaking, she pulled the middle-aged woman and quickly ran towards the residential area. She seemed to have completely ignored Lei Ming and ran away without even saying goodbye.

Looking at their hurried away figures, Lei Ming could no longer control himself, and his hair kept standing up.

Lei Ming slowly walked toward the lake, and thunder and lightning were already flashing near his body.

"I swear, from today on, I will never like any woman again."

After Lei Ming finished speaking, he stretched out his hands and pointed at the lake, shouting: "Thunder is the witness."

"Pa ci pa ci..."

Countless small lightning bolts continued to strike into the lake water, and the lake water suddenly became sparkling with gold. The water waves began to surge continuously, and even the water lilies on the water were broken to pieces by the lightning.

Suddenly, with a loud "boom" sound, a giant carp jumped out of the water.

Lei Ming was so frightened that his eyes widened and he stared blankly at the giant carp flying over his head with golden light.

This carp was as big as three adults. The water it splashed was like a waterfall, instantly drowning Lei Ming.

A dull sound was heard, and the giant carp hit the ground heavily.

Lei Ming, who had turned into a drowned rat, stood up and ran towards the carp.

"You stinky fish, you even bullied me."

Unexpectedly, before Lei Ming could reach him, the carp flicked its tail and slapped Lei Ming away.

Lei Ming crashed into a big tree, cracking the trunk. All the small insects on the branches flew out with bright lights, and the whole scene was like fireworks blooming.

Lei Ming clenched his fists and stood up with difficulty.

"You stinky fish, let's see if I don't kill you!"

Lei Ming pulled out the long dagger from his waist this time, applied the effect of thunder and lightning, and ran towards the carp again.

The giant carp flicked its tail again, but this time it was not as smooth as last time.

The dagger with the lightning effect stabbed straight into the fish's tail, immobilizing the fish's tail.

After Lei Ming quickly pulled out the dagger, he rushed to the position of the fish's head and inserted the dagger straight into the fish's head.

After being stung, the carp swung its tail wildly and twisted its body, causing the ground where it was to vibrate like an earthquake.

Lei Ming's dagger was nailed to the fish's head. No matter how excited the carp was or how violently it jumped, it could not get Lei Ming away.

After nearly a minute, the giant carp twitched a few times and then stopped moving.

The giant carp is dead, but Lei Ming seems to have not recovered from his anger.

Lei Ming picked up the dagger and cut open the belly of the carp. While doing so, he shouted, "I'll kill you and eat you today for making you so arrogant."

After waiting for the fish's belly to be cut open, Lei Ming was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Inside the belly of the fish, there was a curled-up girl lying on her side. The thin vest on her upper body had been about half melted by gastric acid, and her small breasts were looming.

Lei Ming immediately pulled the girl out, placed her on the grass, and continued to perform compressions and artificial respiration.

After trying hard for a few minutes, the girl coughed up a lot of strange liquid and then slowly woke up.

After the girl opened her eyes, she saw her half-naked upper body and screamed in fright.
