Chapter 520 The Death of Qin An
Li Na, who was carried on Qin An's back, fell to the ground because of Qin An's sudden fall. Her wound touched the ground and she let out a painful cry, attracting everyone's attention.
Liu Ru was the first to react, because her gaze had already landed on Qin An. When she saw that Qin An had fallen, she hurriedly rushed forward. She first helped Li Na, who was lying on the ground, up, and then nervously said, "Qin An! What happened to you? Why did you fall?"
Wang Hui and Wang Yunzhi arrived. When they arrived at Qin An's side, they shouted anxiously. Then, the two of them discovered that Qin An was unconscious at all. Wang Yunzhi tentatively placed her hand under Qin An's nose, and then her face turned pale and bloodless.
At this time, everyone also gathered around. Liu Ru temporarily entrusted Li Na to Liu Tian's care. Then, she moved to Qin An's side and asked Wang Yunzhi, "How is Qin An? Did he faint? Why did he faint? Haven't the strength of the alcohol I drank with him last night passed? Why is your face so pale?"
When Liu Ru asked this question, she also went to check on Qin An's condition. From Wang Yunzhi's expression, she could tell that Qin An's current situation seemed to be somewhat inappropriate.
Wang Yunzhi's voice trembled as she said, "Sister Liu, hurry up and listen to Boss Qin's heartbeat. I... I don't dare to listen!"
Hearing Wang Yunzhi's words, everyone present was shocked.
Liu Ru raised her eyebrows and her face turned blue. She lowered her head and put her ears on Qin An's chest. After a long time, her body began to tremble. Then, she slowly raised her head and finally sat down on the ground.
Wang Hui hurriedly asked, "How is Qin An? Liu Ru, you should speak!"
Liu Ru's lips instantly became dry and her face was even whiter than Wang Yunzhi's. She stared blankly at Wang Hui and then whispered in a hoarse voice, "Qin An … he doesn't have a heartbeat anymore!"
"What!?"
Wang Hui, Jesse, Li Na, Gong Xue, and Lu Fei all shouted these two words at the same time.
They didn't believe Liu Ru's judgment at all.
As a result, the five of them crawled to Qin An's side almost at the same time, and then made a move to confirm Qin An's life state.
In the end, they found that Qin An really did not have a heartbeat, no breathing, no pulse, his body was cold, his face was pale, it was obvious that he had died!
What exactly was going on? Why did Qin An die so suddenly?
The few people who were familiar with Qin An didn't even have the mood to cry because what happened suddenly was too strange. They didn't dare believe what they saw.
...
Northwest China, where Qinghai, Xinjiang and Gansu provinces met, was a sparsely populated area before the apocalypse, but after the apocalypse, it became a good choice for refugees to build large cities. Hence, this was another place where humans gathered after the apocalypse. There were more than a dozen large cities and dozens of small cities built here. They were known as the northwest city-states.
Where the crowd gathered in the apocalypse, it was necessary to build a city wall. Otherwise, they would always be attacked by various crises.
Because the northwest city-state region was relatively close to the Tibetan west base, most of the cities had already accepted the government's title and nominally belonged to the Tibetan west government's leadership. In reality, however, they acted independently, and there were even some battles that would occur frequently in order to compete for resources. People in crisis know better that they can live longer if they get more. In the apocalyptic world, people were often more greedy than before, and were more willing to pay for what they wanted. Therefore, the battles in the northwest city-state region were extremely cruel and bloody.
The Tibetan government was busy dealing with the zombie horde that was constantly raiding the border from the Indian side, so it had no time to interfere in the affairs of the northwest city-state.
Tang City was one of the dozens of small cities in the northwest city-state. It was built at the foot of the Nine Dragons Mountain Range in Gansu Province. Built by the mountains, Tang City could obtain some of the resources in the mountains. This geographical location also placed Tang City at the forefront of the storm, and there would often be other powers from other cities looking for trouble.
This small city with a population of 30,000 was slightly different from other cities in the Northwest City-State. Its leader was a woman! Tang City was naturally a feminist city! As a result, the population ratio in Tang City was very inconsistent. Of the 30,000 people in the city, 23,000 were women, and only about 7,000 were men.
In the northwest of April, sooner or later, it was also very cold. On the ten-meter city wall of Tang City, two women wearing white fur coats were standing upright and looking outside the city.
Their beautiful appearances made it impossible to tell their real age, but their mature and steady temperament made it clear that the two of them should not be little girls of seventeen or eighteen years of age.
Then, one of these two people was Tang City's City Lord, Tang Yu! The other woman was the deputy city lord of Tang City, named Gu Li. She was a beauty of the Uighur nationality.
The cold wind blew in the morning and lifted the bangs in front of Tang Yu's forehead. She couldn't help but tighten her fur coat and felt a little cold.
Gu Li sighed and said, "Little sister, there are people from other city-states everywhere outside the city! As long as our female soldiers leave the city, they will kill them! If they are caught, it will be even worse, and they will become the playthings of those stinking men! Sigh, even though we are backed by the mountains, we can no longer obtain any resources! What should we do in this situation?"
Tang Yu's expression was somewhat exhausted. After a long time, she said, "Sister Gu Li! Back when I came to this city in distress, you changed the name of the city to Tang City and made me the city lord. But now, I have put this city in danger! Sister truly feels ashamed of you!"
Gu Li smiled miserably and said, "Sister, don't say that!" I was an ordinary female company commander before the end of my life! After staying in the army for a long time, the army is my home! Perhaps I know how to lead troops to war, but I am unable to cope with such a chaotic situation in the Northwest City-State! After my sister came to the city, I was fortunate enough to discover your leadership skills! Naturally, he had given way to the Virtuous! You have lived up to your mission. In a short period of time, the population of this small city has grown to 30,000 people. Moreover, Tang Cheng had the ability to stand here in a situation where a pack of wolves surrounded him! If I were the city lord, the sisters in the city would probably have been devoured by the pack of wolves long ago! "
Tang Yu sighed, "So we women are the pitiful ones in the apocalypse! I have the ambition to create a space for women to survive in the apocalypse. It's really hard, really hard! Sister Gu Li, as a queen, I want to find a man to embrace for warmth and protection. Don't you think I'm wrong?"
The sadness on Gu Li's face dissipated. She chuckled and said, "If you say those words in front of others, then it would naturally be wrong!" Now, everyone in our city sees you as their spiritual sustenance. The source of their faith in you is because you are a true queen! How could the Queen say that she wanted to enter a man's embrace for warmth and protection? "If you show weakness to a man, it would be tantamount to abandoning all the beliefs of the people of Tang City!"
After a slight pause, Gu Li continued, "However, there is no need for you to hide your sincerity in front of me!" You and I have been together for so long. At the very least, I treat you as my biological sister. This is fate between people. I just like you! Tang Yu, while there's no one here, tell me, before the apocalypse, didn't you have a man you liked? "
The man you like?
Tang Yu's heart skipped a beat, her face slightly flushed red, and then she slowly said, "There is a man that I like! Unfortunately, he was a married man before the apocalypse, and after the apocalypse, he no longer knows where he is!"
Gu Li was slightly stunned. Actually, she only asked casually, but she never thought that Tang Yu would actually have a man she liked.
Then what would a queen like Tang Yu look like when she fell in love with a man?
Just as Gu Li was about to ask something, Tang Yu's personal bodyguard Sun Yue ran up the stairs in panic.
Tang Yu turned her head and looked at Sun Yue. Her expression turned gloomy as she asked, "What happened? You're so steady. I've never seen you panic like this before."
Sun Yue had already hurried to Tang Yu and Gu Li's side. She panted slightly and said in a trembling voice, "Queen, something bad is going on!" These past few days, I've sent some male soldiers to dress up as vagrants and scout around the city walls! Just now, a soldier came back and reported that a large number of people had gathered in the eastern part of Dunhuang City! From afar, it was estimated that there were tens of thousands of people! "I'm afraid that several small cities nearby have joined forces. Perhaps the purpose is to attack our Tang City!"
Gu Li's expression instantly turned ugly. She turned her head to look at Tang Yu and said worriedly, "Although there are 30,000 people in our city, most of them are women!" After receiving the training, he became a female soldier plus a male soldier, and his combat strength was only 4,000 to 5,000 men! If these nearby small cities really join forces and prepare to attack our Tang City, how can they resist? "I wonder if the news is reliable. Are they really so vicious that they insist on forcing us to a desperate situation?"
Tang Yu let out a long sigh before saying, "Perhaps it's true!" In the northwest city-state territory, the largest city in the past was Pangu City. It was the 23rd gathering place established by the government after the eruption of the apocalypse. Originally, it was guarded by people from the Lanzhou Military Region! Last month, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians of Pangu City had already moved southward to the west of Tibet, retreating from the territory of the Northwest Federation! This caused the northwest to become even more chaotic. The walls of Pangu City were fifty meters tall, and the construction inside was complete. The other big cities naturally want to take it for themselves, so they will definitely not have the time to pay attention to the movements of the small cities around us. Because of this, these small cities nearby have the courage to eat Tang City! Once Tang City is destroyed, they will be able to openly split up the iron mine in our back mountain. "There is another important spoils of war that you can obtain, and that is the women of the entire city!"
Hearing Tang Yu's words, Gu Li and Sun Yue became silent, because they didn't know what to say or do to avoid the crisis in front of them.
Tang Yu didn't say anything either. On the surface, she looked calm, but her heart was already boiling like boiling water. What should she do? I'm really tired! She really wanted to rest and find a strong shoulder to lean on. Could it be that Tang Cheng was really doomed?
