The words ceased.
The man's eyes gazed at the grayish-white sky, his breath gradually fading.
Xu Qian pressed her temples, taking a deep breath.
"Jin Tian, burn it."
If the body was left here, it would soon be dismembered by mutated beasts and zombies.
She couldn't even repay him, so at least she could leave a complete corpse.
"Alright."
"Hello!"
Suddenly, a head popped out of the car window of a jeep in the distance. A middle-aged man waved at them.
That monster earlier was too enormous; they hadn't dared to get close.
Xiang Jin Tian waved back, signaling that everything was fine on their end. Only then did the two cars drive over.
The group alighted. Cao Jun's expression was grim as he stared at the motionless giant. What kind of thing was this?
Such a massive person?
"Boss, boss."
His subordinates calling him snapped him back to reality.
Cao Jun's face broke into a smile, and he quickly extended his hand to shake theirs.
"Thank you for saving Jun Jun Base. I'm Cao Jun, the leader of Jun Jun Base."
Xiang Jin Tian shook his hand back, "Xiang Jin Tian, this is my lover."
Cao Jun chuckled, "A perfect match! Amazing!"
The man was truly handsome. Her face was obscured, but her aura suggested she was no ordinary person.
Xu Qian: ...
Xiang Jin Tian: ...
"Jin Tian."
Xiang Jin Tian understood her meaning immediately.
Xiang Jin Tian nodded at them, and the two began collecting dry leaves and twigs nearby, piling them on top of the body.
Cao Jun asked in confusion, "You're... going to burn it?"
Xiang Jin Tian didn't stop his actions, responding, "He was our friend. He saved us, so..."
Cao Jun was stunned. He hadn't expected this giant to be helping them!
He thought another monster had arrived...
Cao Jun immediately ordered, "Everyone, go pick up branches!"
"Yes!"
Everyone, including Cao Jun, bent down and began gathering branches. Fortunately, this was a park square, and many trees had been planted around it, so there were plenty of branches and leaves.
With over a dozen people picking them up, it was certainly different from just two. Soon, the body was covered in leaves.
Xu Qian's mood calmed. She softly thanked him, "Thank you."
Her tone was cold, but she softened it slightly for the sake of thanking them, making it sound soothing.
The group waved their hands, quickly saying it was nothing.
After pouring gasoline on his body and igniting the branches, the body quickly caught fire.
Flames soared into the sky, and white smoke billowed.
Xu Qian squinted as she watched until the flames slowly died down before turning to leave.
The group waited in their cars. Seeing her about to depart, Cao Jun jumped out and called out to her.
"Hello, why don't you come to our Jun Jun Base? We'll provide food and accommodation."
Such capable individuals were definitely worth keeping.
Xu Qian gently shook her head, "We have a base."
Cao Jun sighed regretfully. What a good person, poached by another base.
"You are welcome to visit Jun Jun Base anytime."
Jun Jun Base was located in the northern part, and most of its residents were originally from the north. Those near City A usually went directly to Guangming Base. Therefore, Jun Jun Base had very few skilled individuals.
The two acknowledged his words and turned back to their car.
Since the bat had been dealt with, they needed to return to the research base to collect data and destroy it.
The journey was smooth. Most of the animals in the laboratory had already corroded into puddles.
The two barely had to lift a finger.
They searched the interior for two laps but couldn't find the location of the data room. They only found scattered documents on the experimental tables.
Every research base had a data room. How could this one not?
