Chapter 354: Chapter 352: Turn into an Icy Corpse and Lie Back Down Chapter 354: Chapter 352: Turn into an Icy Corpse and Lie Back Down The ground, covered in feces and urine stains, had two young warriors’ corpses lying askew.

One of the corpses, its waist and chest stained red with a massive patch of blood, still clutched a dagger in its hand, thrust into the heart of the other body.

It was none other than Zhang Liuliu and Hu Wei, who had just come to answer nature’s call.

Zhang Liuliu’s pants zipper was half open, while Hu Wei’s trousers were pulled down to his thighs, revealing a right leg turned dark.

There, too, was a bright red stain.

Most likely, it was Zhang Liuliu who made the first move, attacking his vital region, which then led to the stab to the chest.

“This—-” Song Qian and Kong Wu also spotted them at a glance and subconsciously cocked their guns.

Song Qian walked over with knitted brows and lightly kicked the soles of the two men’s shoes:
“Zhang Liuliu?”

“Hu Wei?”

Neither of them moved.

“I’ll go call Doctor Lin.” Although she did not know whether they were alive or dead, Jiang Yan still instinctively turned and went back inside.

“Hu Wei is not breathing anymore.” Song Qian had just checked the breath of Hu Wei, whose eyes were wide, and was about to check Zhang Liuliu’s when he saw Zhang Liuliu’s mouth corner twitch, “gurgle gurgle~” and a bunch of bloody foam spilled out.

The temperature in the corridor was not as low as outside, but it wasn’t much better either.

The blood foam began to coagulate within two seconds.

“Song—-” His mouth opened weakly.

Seeing this, Song Qian no longer cared about the stench of feces and grabbed him, cautiously dragging and carrying him with the help of Kong Wu to the side.

Due to the movement, the previously congealed wounds oozed blood again faintly.

Zhang Liuliu, who had fainted, opened his eyes in pain once more and upon seeing Song Qian, the murderous intent in his eyes lessened significantly:
“Brother Song, you need to hurry back to the base.”

Song Qian urged, “Don’t talk now, Doctor Lin will be here soon.”

Zhang Liuliu managed a painful smile for a second, “I won’t make it.”

“Zhang Liuliu, what exactly happened?” Kong Wu felt that something was very off.

“He’s a traitor—-” Zhang Liuliu struggled to gesture with his mouth towards the side, and after speaking painfully, he gasped for air a few times before adding, “Soon, there will be a massive meteor shower falling. Only by getting back to the base is there a chance to avoid it.”

Song Qian’s brow furrowed, “What do you mean?”

Zhang Liuliu did not reply, but rather looked pleadingly at Song Qian and said,
“Brother Song, when I’m gone… please… cremate me. Don’t let me… be buried outside in the ice cave, I don’t want… months later… to become a floating corpse…”

“Zhang Liuliu!” As Jiang Yan and Lin Xiaohui arrived with the medical kit, front and rear foot, they saw his neck slant and the light in his eyes immediately extinguish and dim.

Song Qian reached out to check Zhang Liuliu’s breath, his frown deepening.

He took a deep breath and remained silent.

Back inside, Song Qian relayed Zhang Liuliu’s words to everyone.

Everyone fell into silence.

Zhang Liuliu and Hu Wei did not know each other before.

Therefore, the claim about him being a traitor couldn’t be verified.

Zhao Yougong spoke though, “That Hu Wei, he was indeed at Flame Base before. But that doesn’t prove anything…”

He and the others led by Song Qian had also spent some time at Flame Base.

Of course, they went there on a mission and with a purpose.

But that doesn’t mean that there weren’t any ordinary soldiers sent to Flame Base.

“The deceased should be respected; whether he was a traitor or not can’t be verified. However, what Zhang Liuliu said about the meteor shower–” Song Qian said with a frown, looking over at Song Haitao and others.

“It’s not impossible.” Song Haitao pondered for a moment before speaking, “Flame Base has previously been struck by a meteor swarm. Now, East Mountain could be waiting for the same fate.”

Beside him, a scientist known as Fu Lei, with one lens of his glasses broken, added,
“These Natural Disasters were originally triggered by the Catastrophe simulator. It’s within reason that multiple disasters occur concurrently, or that a primary Natural Disaster causes secondary disasters.”

Mo Shiyao rarely spoke, but now she said, “Even without the supposed meteor swarm, we need to head back to the base. After all, the more we delay, the more passive we become, and staying here will ultimately lead us to a dead end…”

A warrior bit his lip and questioned her, “Miss Mo, you really have no clue about the security measures and layouts here?”

“I have no idea.” Mo Shiyao glanced at him with loss in her eyes, a hint of cold light flickering.

It’s bad enough that grandfather and my elder brother betrayed us.

Why would my second brother also be guarding against me…

The warrior’s eyes shrank with intimidation, and he closed his mouth.

Su Dai felt like crying, “But how do we go back? Everything around us is icy tundra; we can’t possibly lie down and freeze into ice sculptures on our way back, can we…”

To leave meant death.

To stay also meant death.

Death, like a shadow, loomed over everyone’s hearts.

“Bang!”

Kong Wu clenched his fist and punched the metal wall, his eyes suddenly reddening, whether from pain or helplessness.

“Damn it!”

“Is Heaven trying to completely exterminate us!!”

“No, it’s not Heaven, it’s them! I must twist off the heads of these bastards!!”

Kong Wu’s voice became quieter and quieter, and by the end, he was crouched on the ground, beginning to sob.

Jiang Yan looked at him, her brows furrowing.

The first time she met Kong Wu in Anming, although they had already experienced several Natural Disasters by then, he was always cheerful every day.

Sometimes, he would even jokingly tease serious-faced people like Song Qian.

Months have passed, and what they brought was not only endless Natural Disasters but also took away the last bit of people’s confidence.

She instinctively glanced at Song Haitao, only to see that he was looking right back at her.

Song Haitao slightly shook his head, the look in his eyes clearly signaling something.

Meaning, she should keep the matter of going to Yunding Tower to herself for now.
