Chapter 201 Escape and Counterattack (1)

While Zhang Yi and others were searching for the missing Nan Shao, Li Muran and his group were in the worst predicament.

"What is this place?" Song Yan looked around with a calm expression, not letting anyone know that he was suffering from intermittent amnesia.

"Renhuai City, it should be thousands of miles away from Changlin." Li Muran, who was sitting beside his bed, answered quickly, "The Wu Zong's men have been chasing us and can't get rid of them. You have a high fever, and He Ru'an, Ye Jian, and Xie Qiusheng went to look for food nearby and haven't come back yet."

In the past twenty days, Song Yan was in a coma most of the time, and woke up very briefly. Every time he woke up, Li Muran would quickly explain their current situation to him. Others thought she was too long-winded, but they didn't suspect that Song Yan had a problem with his memory.

Renhuai, the capital of Beizhou Province, is a famous city with a long history and culture. It is close to Xiwu Lake and is located in the lower reaches of Nucang River. There are rivers and lakes in the south of the city, and hills in the north of the city. The main mountain ranges are Yushan and Qishan. The city covers an area of ​​nearly 30,000 square kilometers, with a permanent population of more than 20 million. It has beautiful scenery and a developed economy. However, even in such a place, and even in the entire Beizhou Province with a population of over 100 million, there is no survivor base. There are only scattered small gathering communities, with a few people and no more than 500 people. The reason seems to be related to the overly dense population and the interweaving of water networks. The flood caused by the heavy rain during the second natural disaster once submerged more than two-thirds of the area of ​​Beizhou Province. The area that was not submerged was the mountainous area. After the heavy rain, mutant plants grew overnight, and it was impossible for the mountainous area to leave living people.

The soaked city was filled with a musty and cold smell. Countless huge plants rose from the ground, covering the skyscrapers. Various mutant animals shuttled through them. The once prosperous city turned into a jungle wilderness in just one year. Humans were no longer the masters here, even though humanoid objects could be seen everywhere.

In order to escape, Li Muran and his companions did not enter the city center, but stayed in a car repair shop on the outskirts of the city with less traffic and smooth roads. Perhaps because of the geographical location, or perhaps for other reasons, there were not many zombies in and around the car repair shop. It was just that no one had taken care of it for more than a year, and a thick layer of dust had already been laid.

"Kill him!" Song Yan's sober time was getting shorter and shorter. After figuring out their situation, he didn't even have time to make more arrangements. He just uttered this sentence, and his eyelids seemed to be hung with lead blocks. No matter how he resisted, he closed his eyes helplessly and fell into darkness. The few

people who gathered around looked at each other, and finally returned to their respective positions, falling into a helpless silence.

How easy is it to kill that person? If they could kill him, they wouldn't have to run away like they are now.

Time goes back to more than 20 days ago, in that roadside house, Qin Zurong, who was sucked by the ghost beauty mutant butterfly and only had half of his body left, had just finished cursing Wu Zong. With a burst of sinister laughter, the door was kicked open, and a man with handsome features, but pale face, shadows under his eyes, and a look of excessive drinking and sex walked in. He didn't wear the long gown of Wu Zong, but he held a sword in his hand and looked arrogant. At first glance, he was the same as Lu Lin and his group.

He slowly scanned the crowd, and then said with satisfaction: "Yes, they are all here, not one less, saving me from looking everywhere." While speaking, his eyes paused for a moment on Li Muran, and he flashed a look of disgust without disguising it, shaking his head, "You are so ugly, and you have the nerve to come out and embarrass yourself!"

The information revealed in these few words was shocking, and the last sentence made everyone change color. On the contrary, Li Muran, who was despised, didn't feel much. Since the beginning of the apocalypse, she saw the originally gentle and polite male classmates suppress those pretty female classmates at the cost of protection, and she wished that she could look more hateful. Of course, she didn't look down on those female classmates who were forced to compromise. Everyone just wanted to survive, but she chose a more difficult path. Hearing the man's words, she shrank her body and moved closer to the boy and his sister, looking even more cowardly and unbearable to look at. At the same time, Song Yan moved slightly and blocked them in front of them without a trace.

Everyone looked at the newcomer with cold hostility. If the other party dared to come alone to chase them, it was because he didn't know much about them except the number of people, then he really had the strength to do so. Perhaps both possibilities were true.

"Are you from Wuzong?" Song Yan asked in a cold tone. He didn't expect that Wuzong's people would really chase him, and they came so quickly. But no matter how capable the other party was, it didn't mean that he would swallow his anger and watch his companions being humiliated.

"Yes, yes, buddy is quite perceptive!" The man laughed nonchalantly, and then his expression suddenly changed, and he said grimly: "But I hate it most when others talk to me like this!" Before he finished speaking, a sword light rushed towards Song Yan.

Song Yan had been prepared for him to take action, but he still didn't expect it to be so fast. The moment he felt the danger, his body shook slightly out of instinct. He wanted to dodge, but he stopped abruptly. Just this hesitation, his right shoulder suddenly felt light, blood spurted out, and then there was a severe pain. Song Yan was stunned for a moment, looked sideways at his empty right shoulder, then looked down at his arm that fell to the ground, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then his face changed slightly, and he decisively metalized the broken surface of his right shoulder to stop the bleeding, and at the same time several thunderbolts fell on the man who had retreated.

The man's figure was as elusive as a ghost, and he shook twice, barely noticeable, and easily dodged the dense lightning that Song Yan had sent out with hatred, and he did not forget to laugh arrogantly: "You dare to show off your tricks!" As he spoke, he had retreated to his original place, reached out and took out a snow-white handkerchief to wipe the blood on the sword, and then threw it away lightly, as if he had done something insignificant. It

took only two or three seconds from his attack to Song Yan's counterattack. It was not until then that other people reacted. Li Muran cried out softly, and her body was faster than her brain. She took a step forward, bypassed Song Yan who was blocking her, and leaned over to pick up the arm that was still dripping with blood.

The man just sneered, but did not stop him.

"Fuck your mother!" Sun Zhen and others who were sent to escort them were furious, cursing and attacking at the same time. They were not good people to begin with, and they were extremely in awe of Song Ting. Now Song Ting's brother's arm was cut off under their noses. If they didn't cut the other party into pieces, how would they explain to the leader?

The six people who came this time, Sun Zhen has water ability, Li Jing has fire ability, Ke Changfeng has gold ability, Ye Jian has wind ability, He Ru'an has healing ability, and strength mutation, and Xie Qiusheng has wood ability. In addition, before awakening, they had all undergone special physical and combat training. Whether it is single-soldier combat or joint combat, their ability is very strong. Any one of them can walk sideways in the end times. Shen Chi and Dongfang took great pains to make such an arrangement, taking into account all aspects that might be encountered on the road. However, even with such a combination, the five people joined forces and did not get the slightest advantage in front of the man.

Because of the blood loss and pain, Song Yan's face was as pale as snow, but his eyes were as calm as ever. He withdrew from the metalization and let He Ru'an stop the bleeding for him, then took the broken arm from Li Muran's hand and tried to connect it, his eyes watching the fighting people without blinking. After a moment, he turned to Li Muran and said, "You take the two children to the room inside immediately." When he said this, he tightly grasped Li Muran's eyes, his eyes were sharp and full of meaning, and the word "immediately" was particularly emphasized. After a pause, when he saw that she seemed to want to say something, he shouted again, "Go in!" Then he turned his head and ignored her, showing that he could not doubt it.

The two of them had cooperated many times and had already developed a tacit understanding. Li Muran understood what he meant almost in an instant, and resisted the idea of ​​asking him to go in together. He stretched out his hand and pulled the clothes of the boy who was trembling with fear, motioning him to pick up his sister and go with him, while she went to drag Qin Zurong.

"No, I won't go in. I'm going to cut this damn bastard into pieces!" Qin Zurong refused to cooperate and struggled and roared.

What the hell, don't you see that so many people can't do anything to him? Li Muran cursed in her heart, she really didn't want to care about this guy, but she still pursed her lips and dragged Qin Zurong to the inner room. She vaguely understood that he didn't want to live anymore, but everyone was together, she couldn't really watch him die, especially when Song Yan and others stayed to fight with that man.

Boom - a fireball suddenly hit, Li Muran was caught off guard, and reflexively hugged Qin Zurong and rolled to the side, barely dodging it, but it was extremely embarrassing. Before she could get up, she heard the man's sinister smile: "What I like most is to be cut into pieces, don't worry, let's take it slowly!"

Li Muran looked up and found that he was able to handle the attack of five people with ease. Whether it was the fierce fists and feet, or the dense blade power like rain, wherever he went, he seemed to have the ability to predict the future and barely avoided it. It looked more like others were chasing after him, and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't catch up. During this time, his sword occasionally left light or heavy wounds on the five people. The fireball he had just thrown was the fireball that Li Jing had used to attack him. Even if Li Muran was slow, he could see that this man was playing with them. When he had enough fun, everyone would die. No wonder Song Yan asked her to leave. He had obviously seen the difference in strength between the two sides. She didn't dare to delay any longer. She grabbed Qin Zurong and almost half-carried him into the room. Uncle Chen, who was with the two children, thought about it and walked over to block the door.

Although the boy was so scared that his legs were weak, he still entered the room before Li Muran and the others. At this time, he was huddled in the corner with his sister and shivering. The little girl might have been accustomed to the end of the world. Even though she was scared to tears, she huddled in her brother's arms and didn't dare to say a word.

This was a bedroom, but it had been searched thoroughly by the survivors. There was nothing inside except the bed frame and empty cabinets. Even the curtains were removed. It was dark outside the window, as if some ferocious beast was crouching there, ready to devour anyone at any time. Li Muran quickly scanned the outside of the house with his mental power and found that there were no other enemies guarding outside. He felt a little relieved and helped Qin Zurong walk to the two children. He reached out and grabbed the boy's arm, determined the destination, activated his supernatural power, and the next moment the four of them appeared in an apartment building 20 kilometers away.

Chapter 202 Escape and Counterattack (2)

There was no light, and the apartment was completely dark. Nothing could be seen. The young man uttered a low cry, as if he did not understand what was happening. Qin Zurong also stopped struggling. In fact, even Li Muran herself was a little surprised. It turned out that she just wanted to try to see if she could bring three people out. Unexpectedly, she actually succeeded, and it seemed that she still had strength to spare. She just didn't know if she could bring everyone out. Even if she could, it might not be that easy. Thinking of this, she had a headache, but she didn't have time to think about it. She sent out her mental power and paid attention to the situation on Song Yan's side.

"Sister, where are we?" The young man asked timidly in her ears.

"I don't know, but it should be safe for the time being." Li Muran answered distractedly. She just searched as far as possible to find a place to stay. She was not familiar with the capital, so naturally she didn't know where it was. "The kitchen is over there, go and look for it, maybe you can find something. But be careful and don't make any noise." After saying that, she ignored them.

Uncle Chen, who was standing at the door, was shocked to find that the four people were missing. He rushed into the house, but found that the windows were closed. He searched every corner of the house, but there was no trace of the people. He hesitated, unable to judge whether they were taken away by the enemy silently. He was afraid that if someone on his side ran away, it would attract the attention of the enemy. He was very puzzled and worried. He turned back to the door. There was a fierce battle outside.

The young man from Wuzong seemed to like the cat and mouse game very much. With his ability, he could have killed everyone at the beginning, but he didn't do it. Instead, he slowly tortured a few people, stabbing them with a sword from time to time, and every move drew blood, but he was able to ensure that their ability to move was not damaged. Obviously, he was not afraid of their backlash or taking the opportunity to escape. Sun Zhen and his men had been through many battles. Although they were frustrated at the beginning and could not even touch the corners of the enemy's clothes, they had a buffer and found some tricks after a while. They began to consciously shrink the battlefield, attack ruthlessly, without hesitation, and had the posture of exchanging injuries for injuries. Facing a powerful enemy with speed, they could not be more agile, so they could only rely on this bloody and stupid method.

With a muffled groan, Xie Qiusheng tightly grasped the long sword that pierced his waist and ribs, and the wood-type supernatural power was activated. The surrounding mutant plants broke through the roof, walls and floor and entangled the man. With just a slight delay, Li Jing's fist, Ke Changfeng, Ye Jian and Sun Zhen's knives had already fallen. Several people knew that such an opportunity was rare. Once the opponent was careless, it would probably be their death, so they all fought with all their strength, hoping to kill the enemy with one blow, or at least seriously injure the opponent. It's not that they don't have confidence. If it were someone else, even a strong man with three types of supernatural powers, they would have the confidence to chop him into several pieces under such circumstances. However, facing this person from Wu Zong, they had no confidence at all. Facts have proved that this feeling is correct. The man sneered, and the action of pulling out the sword in his hand changed from pulling to pushing. With the force of Xie Qiusheng's grab, he forced the sword that had only pierced his body shallowly. At the same time, before the mutant vines were entangled, he jumped up, kicked Xie Qiusheng with one foot, and kicked with the other foot to kick all of them out.

Xie Qiusheng's palms were cut by the sharp sword, breaking his bones and muscles. He was hit by a fatal blow. The hand holding the sword had no strength left. When he fell out, he could only watch the sword slip out of his body, bringing out a column of blood that was still steaming. The mutant plants that lost their supernatural control were chopped to the ground in the blink of an eye.

"Tsk! Is this all you can do? I am so disappointed." The young man from Wu Zong seemed a little dissatisfied. He held up his bloody sword and looked at the people who were kicked to pieces by him and couldn't get up for a long time. Finally, he stopped his eyes on Song Yan and He Ru'an who were still standing.

"Go see Xiao Xie." Song Yan stopped He Ru'an from wasting his superpowers on him. His right arm was broken at the bone. It was not an easy task for the healing superpowers to connect it, especially in the current situation.

"Okay." He Ru'an hesitated and agreed. Although their mission was to protect Song Yan and they were ready to lose their lives at any time, when they really saw their comrades seriously injured and dying, they couldn't control their selfishness.

Song Yan pulled out his belt and tied his right arm, which had already been joined together, around his waist. Before He Ruan left, he said without looking up, "Take Xiao Xie to the room inside." After that, he used his left hand's supernatural power to transform into a sword and attacked the young Wu Zong with a disdainful look on his face.

The young man made a frivolous sword flower, sneered, and did not stop He Ruan from saving Xie Qiusheng, obviously he was sure that they could not escape from his palm, "Very good, come one by one, it will be more fun this way!" As he spoke, the tip of the sword raised and just touched Song Yan's metal palm, and then slid to the side before being caught, and stabbed the arm that he had cut off again, fiercely and swiftly.

Song Yan seemed to be a little slow to react, and saw that his right arm was about to be cut off again. At this moment, a thick electric light suddenly came out from his shoulder, like a silver snake, along the long sword, and hit the opponent directly. The sword's guard was also made of metal, and it could not block the current at all. This move was so sudden that even the young man who had never taken everyone seriously was caught off guard. In addition, he was unwilling to let go of the sword and was actually shocked by the electric current. Song Yan's attack was full of energy. If it were an ordinary person, he would be turned into charcoal. The young man quickly drew his internal force to protect his body. Although he was not as miserable, he was also electrocuted so that his hair stood up, his face turned blue, and his whole body was paralyzed for a few seconds. Uncle Chen, who had been watching, immediately took action when he saw this. He stomped his feet and activated his supernatural power. The concrete floor cracked, the soil rolled, and finally turned into the hardest stone to firmly fix the young man's feet. Song Yan seized the opportunity and turned the metal claws into sharp thorns, going straight to the opponent's heart.

"Good! Good! You're quite capable of hurting me. I like you. It's not a wasted trip. Such a rare good stuff, let me think about it... Well, why not crush your bones inch by inch, peel off your skin, cut off your tongue, dig out your eyes, make them into meat worms and take them back to raise... What a good idea, it makes me tremble with excitement just thinking about it!" The young man had recovered by now, smiled sinisterly, there was no anger in his eyes, but instead revealed an irrepressible excitement, but his tone of voice was still slow, the hand holding the sword did not move, and the other hand lightly slapped the metal spike that had reached his heart. Although he didn't see how hard he tried, Song Yan felt his arm tilt unconsciously, and the metal spike pierced into nothing, and then his chest was hit hard, his body flew out uncontrollably, hit the wall, and fell dizzy.

There was a sweet taste in his throat, and a fishy-sweet taste came up. He tried to suppress it and disperse his supernatural power. He supported himself with his left hand and tried to stand up, but there was a sharp pain in his chest. He choked and fell back, sweating like oil.

His ribs were probably broken, and it seemed that there was more than one. Song Yan raised his hand and touched it, and calmly concluded that he immediately ordered others: "Retreat to the room inside!" He gritted his teeth and stood up against the wall. He took the lead in retreating inside, and thunderbolts fell on the young man, shouting: "Muran!" In just a moment, he had judged that the damage caused by his previous attack to the young man was not as serious as he had imagined, and Uncle Chen's supernatural power could not trap the other party for too long. Unless a miracle happened during this period, they would not be able to kill him anyway, so the wisest choice was to take advantage of the limited knowledge of the other party and use Li Muran's supernatural power to take away some of the people who were unable to protect themselves. As for the rest of the people, whether they fought hard or ran away, they could be carefree without being dragged down. He was not worried at all that Li Muran would not understand what he meant.

In the living room, besides Song Yan and Uncle Chen, there were only Sun Zhen, Li Jing, Ke Changfeng and Ye Jian. They were all injured, and Ye Jian was the most seriously injured. When he fell out, he bumped into the metal flower stand, and the broken metal branch pierced into his back. Although he was wearing thick clothes, which reduced some of the force, he just didn't die immediately. Hearing Song Yan's words, although they were puzzled, obeying orders was instinctive. The three who had just stood up and wanted to continue fighting retreated to the inner room without hesitation. Ke Changfeng was closer to Ye Jian, so he took him with him.

"Run? Can you run?" The young man's feet were fixed, and he was hit by lightning and was in a mess. Although he was not injured, it was obvious that he didn't like such a passive situation, and his tone became very cold. With just a low roar, the layer of soil that was as hard as rock and trapped his feet suddenly shattered into pieces. Uncle Chen spat out blood, his face turned pale, and he staggered back.

Boom! A chain of fire rolled towards the young man. Li Jing and Sun Zhen stopped and asked Ke Changfeng to help Ye Jian into the inner room. Song Yan arrived at the door before them, but did not go in. He just stretched out his hand and pushed Uncle Chen in.

In the room, He Ru'an did not care about the disappearance of Li Muran and others. He was rushing to use his remaining supernatural powers to save the dying Xie Qiusheng, fearing that if he was a little slower, the person would die. Song Yan called Li Muran, Ke Changfeng, Ye Jian and Uncle Chen to come in at the same time. It was a long story, but in fact it took less than half a minute. Li Muran really lived up to Song Yan's expectations and returned to the room after they came in.

The only person who knew about Li Muran's ability was Shen Chi, who didn't come with them. The others knew nothing about it, so they were really shocked when they saw her appear out of nowhere. But she didn't have time to explain. She grabbed Xie Qiusheng with one hand and Ye Jian with the other, and then said to the remaining three men who were looking at her in shock, "Hold my hand tightly." In fact, after bringing three people with her once before, she was not sure how many people she could bring at most, and she didn't even know if she could make another trip after this time. The only thing she could do was to try her best. She thought this was what Song Yan wanted her to do, even if he might be left here forever in the end.

Uncle Chen thought of the missing boy and his daughter, and without hesitation reached out and held Li Muran's arm. Ke Changfeng opened his mouth to ask, but was pushed by He Ruan, and closed his mouth in dismay, but his expression was inevitably a little hesitant. After the three people were caught, Li Muran activated his ability.

Chapter 203 Escape and Counterattack (3)

The children's low cheers came to her ears. Li Muran suppressed her surging blood and counted the number of people in front of her. One, two, three... Five?

Five! Her eyes suddenly widened. The slight pain in her head and the buzzing in her ears seemed to disappear, replaced by an indescribable surprise. However, this surprise was fleeting, because she thought of Song Yan who was still in danger.

"Your ability is actually this..." Ke Changfeng was surprised and happy, and he was indescribably envious. However, Li Muran no longer had the energy to listen to him. She lowered her head and walked unsteadily to the sofa to sit down, then closed her eyes.

He Ruan was also surprised, but he didn't have time to ask more questions. He took out a crystal core from his pocket and absorbed it while rushing to treat the two seriously injured companions. In fact, he was already at the point of exhaustion, but he had to force himself to continue to squeeze out the last bit of energy in his body.

During the time when Li Muran was away, the young man had already started a fire and blocked all the windows with curtains and other things to prevent the flames from leaking out. Little Nannan fell asleep and was placed on the bed, covered with a thick quilt. Uncle Chen was relieved to see that both of them were fine, and his expression was much more relaxed. Qin Zurong sat against the wall, staring at the dancing flames in a daze, wondering what he was thinking, but his expression was no longer as hysterical as before. If there were not three people still in danger, this scene could be considered peaceful.

"Li... Li's sister..." Worried about Song Yan and the others, Ke Changfeng saw that Li Muran was sitting there without moving, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He was about to ask her to run again, but before he could say anything, the person in front of him disappeared. He was not used to this situation yet. He was stunned for a moment, then he exhaled heavily and felt a little relieved.

Crack! Song Yan's left foot bent and fell to the ground, but the kneecap was broken by the young man. It turned out that after suffering a loss, the young man learned his lesson and his moves became erratic and unpredictable. Song Yan could no longer use his old tricks and was injured one after another. Sun Zhen and Li Jing were not much better than him. Both of them had at least two fractures, and all of them were in their lower limbs, as if to prevent them from escaping. As he said before, every time he attacked, he only broke their bones, and no longer cut off some parts as roughly as when they first met. It's just that the meaning revealed in his tone before was only directed at Song Yan, but now it includes the three people present.

"Tsk tsk, you are really tenacious!" Seeing the three people who had already fallen to the ground, the young man laughed arrogantly, but with a hint of dissatisfaction. Not only is he strong, but he is also extremely abnormal. He likes to torture people and watch their fear, panic, begging for mercy, and even killing each other before they die. He likes to watch the pain and danger of death torture people beyond recognition. But until now, Song Yan and his group not only retreated the rest of the people into the inner room in an orderly manner, but also showed no fear or retreat. He naturally felt that it was not enough, but at the same time, it also aroused the primitive desire to conquer in his heart. "But don't worry, wait until I catch everyone inside and then we can play slowly. Hey! You are sensible and didn't run away, otherwise... Hey, that's not right!" Before the voice fell, the man had already rushed into the inner room. He had excellent hearing, so when Li Muran and others retreated into the inner room before, he did not stop them, because he could sense the movement at any time. As long as they pushed the window to escape, he could immediately stop them. It was also because there was no sound from inside that he had the leisure to slowly tease and torture Song Yan and others, while causing psychological pressure on others and accumulating fear. But it was not until this moment that he suddenly realized something was wrong. He had been paying attention to the sound made when people escaped, but ignored the disappearance of the sound.

It was too quiet! It was as if there was no one inside. This was not normal at all.

At the moment when the young man passed through the door frame, Li Muran appeared again, but this time he bumped into Song Yan.

"Director." She said in a low voice, and at the same time, she threw her body to the side and reached out to grab Sun Zhen's feet, who was some distance away.

Sun Zhen and Li Jing, who had already made up their minds to die and were preparing to find an opportunity to gather the remaining superpowers in their bodies and attack with all their strength, were startled by her sudden appearance. However, after a moment of shock, Song Yan quickly put his good hand around her waist.

"Li Jing, grab Sun Zhen. Sun Zhen, water." Song Yan said in a deep voice, and then calmly transformed all the superpowers in his body into a lightning bolt, which fell towards the doorway leading to the inner room. At the same time, Sun Zhen, who understood his meaning, shot out a water curtain, and arrived first. The lightning stagnated in the air for a moment, and then fell on the water curtain, forming an interwoven electric net, which barely blocked the young man who was about to retreat.

The water curtain electric net could not last long, and this small barrier could not stop the strong young man, but it could stop him for one or two seconds, and this one or two seconds was enough for Li Muran to take the three people away.

"Damn it!" The young man turned around immediately after hearing Li Muran's voice, but when he forcibly broke through the water curtain electric net and swung his sword, although it brought out a burst of blood, he was ultimately unable to keep the people. He was so angry that he swung his sword and cut the TV not far away in half.

"Do you think you can escape like this?" He was furious, and faced the empty room, he smiled grimly.

In the apartment 20 kilometers away, the four people appeared in the open space inside the house in a mess, causing others to sigh in relief, but when they saw their situation clearly, they turned solemn again.

The worst condition was Song Yan. In addition to his broken right arm and broken left knee, he also blocked the sword energy of the young man from Wu Zong who slashed at Li Muran. He was almost cut in half and was dying. Although Li Muran was in a slightly better condition than him, blood was oozing from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose. He was already in a semi-comatose state. It was unknown where he was injured. Sun Zhen and Li Jing, who had broken both legs, seemed to be less injured. Of course, this was only relatively speaking.

He Ruan had been saving people one after another, and his supernatural power and mental strength had long been depleted. But when he saw Song Yan's injury, he had to force himself to continue absorbing crystal cores while trying to save his life with supernatural power despite the needle-like headache. Each of them would carry a certain number of crystal cores with them to prevent emergencies like today.

No one thought that Song Yan could survive his injury, including He Ruan who did not give up on treating him. However, the facts surprised and shocked everyone. Song Yan had a high fever, and the injured part actually secreted a black mucus at a speed visible to the naked eye, which glued the broken internal organs, muscles, bones and tendons together and wrapped them up. Half an hour later, his breathing stabilized. During this period, He Ruan's ability did not work.

"What's going on?" Ke Changfeng asked, frowning. Now, of the twelve people, only he, He Ruan, Uncle Chen, and the two children are safe and sound. This shows the tyranny of the young man from the Wuzong sect, and also indicates that their future journey may be dangerous.

The house was filled with the smell of wood smoke. Although it had been dispersed a little through the slightly open window, it still made people's eyes sore. In addition, there was only a small fire to provide light, so it was really not very clear. He Ruan was so exhausted that he didn't bother to study what the black or dark red secretion was. As long as the person didn't die, it was fine. He shook his head and said, "I don't know. Let's get him to the bed first."

Because Song Yan was almost cut in half, they didn't dare to move him. They were afraid that if they moved, his intestines and liver would fall out. At that time, it would be really difficult for the gods to save him. So Li Muran, who was pressed under him, could only lie there. Fortunately, she had fainted, otherwise she would be uncomfortable. Sun Zhen and Li Jing were carried to the side by Ke Changfeng and Uncle Chen, and their leg bones were connected. They didn't expect to wait for He Ruan. They were personnel of special national institutions before the end of the world. Because they often had to perform some special tasks with high risk, they would receive corresponding training in first aid and handling various traumas before taking office. Bone setting was not a difficult task for them, but it was not as effective as the healing ability.

"No injuries, probably caused by overuse of superpowers." He Ru'an said after trying to check on Li Muran. It turned out that Li Muran had been reluctant to take He Ru'an and others with him before, and the next trip was completely overdrawn by overdrawing mental strength and superpowers. Before she went, she already felt that she was powerless. She shouldn't have made this trip. The most likely result was that not only could she not save the people, but she herself would be trapped. But she still chose to go, without thinking too much, just thinking that she should go. That is, her superpowers have been improved. Before absorbing the crystal core, even if she wanted to overdraw, she couldn't do it. At least half of the people here could not be saved.

"Will there be sequelae?" Ke Changfeng was a little worried. If Li Muran hadn't been there this time, they were afraid that no one would be able to escape. That was fine. After all, walking in the end times, they had been prepared to die at any time, but before that, they had to suffer torture and humiliation, which was the most unacceptable. That was why he was full of gratitude to Li Muran and didn't want her to be in trouble.

"I don't know." He Ru'an sighed. He had never encountered such a thing before, so he had no answer. This time they were in trouble. Although they had known about Wu Zong's power for a long time, the fact that he beat eight of them without any chance to fight back was still too depressing.

"It's me who implicated you." Qin Zurong suddenly spoke. He finally realized the huge gap between himself and Wu Zong. Not to mention the current state, even when he was in good health, it would only take a few minutes for the other party to crush him to death. No matter how much he hated it in his heart, there was probably no hope of revenge. For a moment, he couldn't help but feel discouraged, but at the same time, he felt that if it weren't for him, Song Yan and the others would not have provoked such a fierce god, and he couldn't help feeling guilty.

"It's meaningless to talk about this now." Ke Changfeng waved his hand and said bluntly, "If you are a man, you should take responsibility. Don't blame me for speaking harshly. Your body can't even use healing abilities. I'm afraid it will be the only way in the future. Since it's a fact, you might as well adapt as soon as possible. Are your abilities still usable? We are not out of danger yet, and there are only a few people left who can fight. You should hurry up and find a fighting method suitable for this body. It can help a little, which is much more useful than an apology. Besides, you don't want to rely on others in the future, right?" After saying that, he turned to Uncle Chen without caring whether the other party listened or not. "I'll go out and feel the situation around. You keep an eye on this place."

He Ru'an's mental strength, physical strength and abilities were all overdrawn at this time. Even an ordinary person could defeat him at this time. As for the boy and his sister, neither of them were awakened and were young, so they couldn't be relied on at all. Only Uncle Chen, although he was also injured, was the only one available compared to others. Ke Changfeng had no choice. If he didn't figure out where they were, how far away they were from the house where they met the young Wuzong man before, and the surrounding terrain, once the enemy caught up with them, so many people would probably be waiting to die.

Chapter 204 Escape and Counterattack (4)

"Okay, be careful." Uncle Chen cheered up and responded. If he had any doubts and dissatisfaction before, they were all dispelled after the young man appeared. From the first words that the young man said when he saw them, he knew that Wuzong's revenge would punish all the people involved was not a bluff. If he and the two children had not followed, they would probably have become three corpses by now. Out of gratitude, or even to save his life, he should do his best.

He Ru'an nodded, touched the pistol in his coat pocket, and then quickly flashed out of the apartment with a machete.

Nothing happened that night. Ke Changfeng came back in the middle of the night and confirmed that this place was Tuyuan City, which belonged to the Qizhou interface. The distance from the town last time should be more than 20 kilometers. It was not far, but because there were no traces left when they came here, it would not be easy to find them, so he was relieved and waited until the next day to go out to find a car and medicine. After all, it was too dangerous to run around outside in the dark night. If something happens to him again, this house will be in ruins, and the little ones will be in ruins. I'm afraid there will be no hope for

them. Li Muran woke up in the evening of the next day. After waking up, he had a splitting headache and walked staggeringly. He couldn't keep his balance at all, let alone use his superpowers. Song Yan was in a coma and had a high fever. On the contrary, the others were much better because He Ruan's superpowers recovered after a night's rest and they received further treatment. During this period, the boy actively helped to cook and boil water and take care of the injured, as if he was trying to prove that he was also useful. Qin Zurong seemed to have listened to Ke Changfeng's words. In addition to helping to keep watch and taking a short sleep, he spent the rest of the time practicing his superpowers and trying to act without the help of others. Ke Changfeng went out again at dawn and got a luxury bus, as well as some food and medicine. He originally planned to leave with everyone immediately, but after a walk outside and finding that there were almost no survivors in Tuyuan City, he gave up the idea. After all, Tuyuan City is not small, hiding here is safer than running away recklessly and leaving people tracking traces. Besides, the danger on the road is not necessarily smaller than that of the Wuzong youth. It is really difficult for him and Uncle Chen to take care of so many injured people, and it is better to wait for Ye Jian, Xie Qiusheng, Li Muran and others to recover completely before leaving.

It took Li Muran two days for her body to return to normal, but there seemed to be something wrong with her domain ability. She could only detect it mentally and could no longer cross it. She didn't know whether this was a temporary phenomenon or permanent, and she was very scared for a while until Song Yan, who woke up halfway, said something to her after learning about it.

"You can't walk without your ability, right?"

Song Yan was in a bad mood because of the high fever. His eyes were bloodshot and he had a violent aura that made people tremble with fear. This was something he had never seen in him before. Fortunately, when he looked at Li Muran, he still retained some clarity, but the words he said were really unpleasant.

Li Muran felt a little wronged. After all, she was in this state just to save him. She didn't expect that she was not comforted but scolded. But she also felt that she might have some masochistic tendencies. Although she was depressed after being scolded, her mood was much calmer and she was no longer trapped in the mood of gain and loss. Song Yan was right. The superpower was just a means for her to survive. If she lost the superpower, her confidence in survival would be extinguished. That would be really putting the cart before the horse. After understanding this, although she still felt lost, she was no longer so uncomfortable. To be a little more A Q, at least her mental detection ability was still there, and she had all her hands and feet. She was not disabled like Qin Zurong and the others. This was lucky enough. But... she suddenly thought of the sick ghost. She hadn't done what she promised him, and it seemed that she couldn't explain it when she went back. So she still felt uneasy in her heart.

Others were mostly regretful and guilty about this, because Li Muran had to save them and ended up like this. In the end times, superpowers are the guarantee of survival, especially the superpowers that can cross space. Losing superpowers is equivalent to losing half of one's life. How can they not feel guilty? But they are all pragmatic people, and they can't say those empty words. They can only remember in their hearts that they will always protect her more in the future. After all, it is not easy for women in the end times, let alone losing superpowers.

Li Muran was still unaware of this. She never thought that she would have such a big good relationship. You know, the situation was urgent at the time, and she had no time to think. If she was given half a minute more, it would be unknown whether she would run the last trip. After all, the moment Song Yan shouted at her and hinted that she should take the others away, he and she had already prepared for him to not leave.

The group stayed in Tuyuan City for three days. Even though the others were seriously injured, they were mostly healed because He Ruan took turns to treat them. Only those with broken bones needed to recuperate for a while. However, Song Yan's condition was very bad. He Ruan's ability was useless to him, and the medicine made by Ke Changfeng was useless. The persistent high fever made everyone worried. Even though he would occasionally wake up, this worry did not diminish at all. What was even more terrifying was that although his waist and left arm, which had been broken, had grown together, the skin at the broken part began to turn black and harden. At first glance, it looked like it was covered with a layer of scales, and this black color was still spreading to both sides. No one knew what was going on, but they knew that if this black color continued to spread, it would definitely not be a good thing.

It was urgent to leave to find help. But there was another disagreement on which direction to go.

"Let's go back to Ruzhou. Ruzhou is close." This was what Ke Changfeng meant. After all, Ruzhou was their base camp. As long as they went back there, they would not be afraid of Wu Zong's bastard. Of course, there was also the idea of ​​letting Song Yan's brother see him for the last time.

"No. The Wuzong people were able to catch up so quickly, so they must have figured out our origins. If they can't find us, they will wait for us on the way to Ruzhou. If we go back now, it will be like walking into a trap. Even if they didn't know we were from Ruzhou before, if we go back to Ruzhou now, it will bring trouble to the base." Surprisingly, it was He Ruan who opposed the idea. "What's there to be afraid of?

If we really go back to the base, we won't be afraid even if the entire Wuzong people come. Humph, then we can teach them that men are not easy to bully!" Ke Changfeng replied in a rough voice. Speaking of this, he felt very aggrieved. He couldn't swallow this anger when he saw that he was beaten like dogs by one person.

"I'm not afraid of a real fight, but if the other party plays dirty and launches a sneak attack on the top leaders of the base, can you stop it, or can guns and artillery shells stop it?" He Ru'an thought further, or maybe his loyalty to Song Ting and the base surpassed everything, including his own life, so he would rather put himself and everyone else in danger than bring trouble back to Ruzhou Base.

Ke Changfeng was speechless, thinking of the abnormal skills of the young Wu Zong. If the other party didn't want to play with them and kill them, they would have killed them as soon as they came. Now it's a question whether any of them are still alive. There must be more than one Wu Zong of this level. Not to mention many, just three or five sneaking into Ruzhou Base would be enough for them to drink a pot. Thinking of this, he scratched his scalp and said irritably: "I don't understand your twists and turns. Anyway, I only know that Song Er is dying, and we have to let them meet each other. And there are so many capable people in our base, there will always be someone who can save him!"

"I can't explain it clearly to you, a reckless man, anyway, I don't agree to go to Ruzhou!" He Ru'an was angry. "Besides, this matter is not something that can be decided by just you and me, let's just vote!"

"Vote then..." Ke Changfeng slammed the table and growled. Although they were arguing, fortunately he knew to keep his voice down.

"Go to Dongzhou." Just as the two were arguing, a hoarse, weak but unquestionable voice interrupted and made the final decision. It was Song Yan who had woken up for a while and happened to hear the conversation between the two.

The two who were arguing were stunned for a moment. A trace of guilt flashed across He Ru'an's face, but he didn't say anything. Ke Changfeng wanted to persuade them with a sense of disappointment: "Do you know what's going on with you now? Otherwise, find a way to cure it quickly..."

"My team is still over there." Song Yan didn't want to explain, but he was afraid of making a noise, which would make him impatient and unable to control the desire to tear everyone into pieces, so he tried to restrain his violent emotions and said something, but his eyes began to turn red, revealing murderous intent.

Li Muran, who was guarding beside him, was the first to feel it and said quickly: "I have a friend who has a very special ability. Maybe he can cure the director." She was referring to Nan Shao. Nan Shao's ability was life, and maybe it could really restrain this black thing that looked like death. She didn't say anything before because she felt that Song Yan's brother was the head of a base and should have great power. If he went to Ruzhou, Song Yan would have a greater chance of being rescued. Even though she wanted to return to the children as soon as possible, human life was at stake, and she could still distinguish the importance of this. So when she heard He Ruan's words, she was very angry, so she would never say a word and let them fight. Now she agreed with Song Yan, which meant that she knew that Song Yan's decision was basically impossible to change, and his temper was on the verge of exploding. If he didn't send him away quickly, who knew what would happen.

I don't know if Ke Changfeng accepted Song Yan's explanation, or because of Li Muran's words, anyway, he didn't talk any more, just shook his head and went to the living room. He Ruan told Li Muran to call him if he needed anything, and then he left. He probably felt a little sorry for Song Yan, so he barely made eye contact with Song Yan.

The apartment had four bedrooms and two living rooms. In addition to the living room and a study, the other three were bedrooms. There was a small bed in the study, and with the sofa in the living room, it didn't feel crowded for twelve people. The owner of the apartment might not be at home when the apocalypse happened, so there were no zombies inside, and the things were well preserved, but the food in the refrigerator was no longer edible. In addition to a pile of foreign wine and coffee, the only thing that could be eaten was a small bag of pearl rice, so Ke Changfeng and Uncle Chen went out to find food for the past two days. Only

Song Yan and Li Muran were left in the room. They shared this bedroom with He Ruan. Because they had to take care of Song Yan, Li Muran and He Ruan had to take turns to keep watch, so it was just right that three people lived in one room. As for special care for women, there was absolutely no such thing. There was no condition.

Chapter 205 Escape and Counterattack (5)

"My left hand hurts so badly, can you show me?" Song Yan said. His waist and abdomen were injured, and they had not been treated or sutured. Even though he knew that they were glued together by some black substance, he still had some shadows in his heart. He would not move if he could, so as not to cause the wound to burst. Moreover, his ribs were broken and his knees were shattered, so he could not move even if he wanted to.

Li Muran stood up, leaned forward slightly, and lifted a corner of the quilt covering him. After just one look, his hands trembled slightly, and he almost threw away the corner of the quilt he was holding.

Because Song Yan's left arm had been cut off and his waist and abdomen were seriously injured, in order to facilitate observation of the wound, his upper body was naked. At this time, the entire left arm from the shoulder to the wrist had become dark and swollen, and the blood vessels on it were bulging, coiled like earthworms, as if they were about to break through the skin. The most terrifying thing was that his fingers were swollen and bent, with black and sharp scales emerging from them, vaguely like the claws of some beast.

"What's wrong?" Noticing that her expression was not right, Song Yan asked. Because he was lying flat, he could not see the situation of his left hand that was not very obedient.

Li Muran did not answer, but held back the fear in his heart and pulled the quilt open a little. As expected, his originally muscular waist and abdomen also turned black, and scales were growing outward. She remembered that she had checked it when she got up early, and it was not like this. It was obviously a sudden mutation in a short period of time.

"Wait a minute, I'll go get a mirror." Li Muran covered the quilt again, thought about it, didn't know how to say it, but didn't want to hide it from him, so she said, and then walked away quickly, and soon moved a mirror as tall as a person, which she had removed from the dressing mirror. Now is not the pre-apocalyptic world, there is room for white lies. Only if he clearly understands his situation can he come up with a way to deal with it as soon as possible.

Song Yan looked at himself in the mirror like a monster, and didn't speak for a long time, but the hostility in his eyes became stronger.

"Why is this happening? I'll go call He Ru'an." Li Muran was trembling in his heart because of that look, and said softly.

"No need." Song Yan stopped her, and then closed his eyes, as if he fell asleep.

Li Muran knew that if He Ruan had a way, he would have done it long ago, and he would not watch his condition worsen helplessly, so he did not insist and sat back, but his heart was a little confused. She couldn't figure out why this happened. Was there something wrong with the young man from Wuzong, or were the mutant animals beginning to infect people? But they hadn't encountered any powerful mutant creatures during this period. Or mutant zombies?

"Go get me some clothes. Also, don't let anyone get close to me when I'm not awake in the future." Just as she was worried and thinking about it, Song Yan, who was thought to have fallen asleep, suddenly spoke, and then fell silent again.

Li Muran looked up and found that his eyes were still closed, his face was very calm, and there was no change in emotion. He sighed silently, responded, and walked out. In fact, until now, her mind is still lingering with the scene she saw before, and her heart is numb, not to mention that he feels even more as the person involved. Not showing it doesn't mean it's not uncomfortable. But she has always been a patient person, and of course she would not be so self-righteous as to say some comforting and considerate words at this time.

Song Yan is tall, and the men's clothes in the apartment are more than one size smaller, so he can't wear them at all. In the end, Li Muran found a sweater and coat of similar size in the apartment downstairs, and also took two pairs of leather gloves. Because there was only one zombie in the apartment, and it had not evolved, she didn't spend much time, and Song Yan was still asleep when she returned.

"Put it on me." He said, and seemed to no longer care whether the wound would burst due to the action of dressing.

"I'll call someone to help." Li Muran said. It's not that he was shy or anything, but with one more person to help, the action would be lighter, and the involvement of the wound would be less.

"Do you have amnesia, or do you want everyone to know that I have become a monster?" Song Yan said coldly, with a flash of terrible murderous intent in his eyes. Li

Muran was stunned for a moment, a little unable to react. She didn't say anything, so how did she offend him? She was a little depressed, but she didn't feel particularly angry. She thought that anyone who became like him would be very uncomfortable. It was normal to have a bad temper, not to mention that he had a bad temper to begin with. She was not sure how other people would react when they saw his situation, and if she insisted on calling others, she felt that he might really do something to kick her out as well.

"Okay, I won't call anyone, but don't use your waist." She compromised, seemingly not taking his words to heart, but his eyes just now kept appearing in her mind, and she felt a little uneasy, as if she was being stared at by a beast in the dark.

"I'm not going to fuck you, why should I use my waist?" Song Yan seemed a little impatient, and the words he said were even more unpleasant.

Li Muran froze, and then glared at him angrily. If he didn't think this was the time to vent his anger, he would have turned around and left, but he felt that he was a little abnormal, and this abnormality seemed to be more than just a strange change in his body and a bad mood. She didn't say anything else to avoid being scolded more. However, when she just helped Song Yan sit up, she suddenly felt a tightness on her back. She was hugged. Because she didn't dare to touch his left arm, she reached through his right armpit to help him. The two of them were already very close to each other, and her upper body suddenly fell on him, and her face was pressed against his naked right shoulder. After being stunned for a moment, she felt the heat and sweat on her face, as well as the tense muscles that seemed to contain endless power. The indescribable ambiguous atmosphere made her blush.

"I'm sorry!" Song Yan's apology came to her ears. Maybe because of the posture, it sounded a little low, and there was an indescribable sultry sexiness. Li Muran felt a little flustered, but also embarrassed. Even if you want to apologize, you don't need to say it like this.

Fortunately, after saying these three words, Song Yan let her go. He looked down at his left arm and abdomen, his eyes flickered, and he said, "The Dongzhou base was once injected with extracts of mutant creatures, so this should be the cause of the outbreak... Lin An... Lin An..." He whispered, and at the end, he repeated Lin An's name several times lightly, as if he wanted to deeply engrave this name in his mind so as not to forget it.

Li Muran suddenly realized, but still felt a little awkward. He just stood up silently, quickly took the pillow towel to wipe the sweat off his body, and then put on warm clothes and sweaters. Because his left hand was inconvenient to move, he did not put it into his sleeves, but pulled the triangular scarf that Ke Changfeng and the others found to bandage his left shoulder. He bent his arm in front of his chest and hung it. Then she noticed in surprise that the hand seemed not as thick as before, and the scaly condition was also reduced a lot. If you don't look closely, you can't see it. Even the palm and five fingers have returned to normal.

"Huh?" She exclaimed softly.

"What's wrong?" Song Yan answered very quickly this time.

Li Muran didn't look at him, and whispered, "Your left hand is much better than before." She still felt a little uncomfortable. In some ways, she was very thin-skinned. Although he had apologized, she couldn't immediately become nonchalant after being scolded like that.

"Maybe it has something to do with my mood." Song Yan said softly, looking at the girl with her head down, with a flash of annoyance in his eyes. Even though fatigue surged up again at this moment, he still tried to explain clearly. "Sometimes in the future, I may not be able to control what I say or do. If I ask you to leave, or if you notice it yourself, you must stay away from me immediately, and don't let others get close..." His voice became lower and lower, and he spoke slower and slower, and finally he fell asleep while sitting.

Li Muran was silent, standing there for a while before helplessly laying him down gently and putting gloves on him. When everything was done, he looked up again and found that his face was blue, his lips were pale, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. He didn't know whether it was because the wound was affected by the clothes he put on just now, or for some other reason. After thinking for a while, she gently lifted his clothes and took a look at his stomach. Seeing that the wound was not broken, she was relieved. She took the bandage and carefully wrapped his waist and abdomen, which not only protected the wound but also concealed the scaling. When everything was done, she was already exhausted and panting.

Sitting on the sofa not far away, she was slightly absent-minded when thinking back to what he said.

He couldn't control what he said and what he did, which explained his abnormality before, but why did this happen? If he kept doing that in the future, it would be difficult.

Li Muran had a headache, but he was helpless. Not long after, Ke Changfeng and He Ruan came in. The car and supplies had all been loaded into the car, and the others also got in the car. They were here to carry Song Yan. Li Muran put a coat on Song Yan, and the group left the apartment where they had lived for two days and headed for Dongzhou.

"Sister, where are we going? Is it far?" The boy asked, holding his sister and squeezing into the seat next to Li Muran. His name is Wu Qing, he is thirteen years old, and his sister is Wu Lan, who is only three years old.

"Dongzhou, the director's men are over there." Li Muran replied, paused, and said, "Maybe Yunzhou." Who knows if Song Yan's convoy is still in Dongzhou Beichen, maybe they have left after waiting for them for a long time. Her eyes were somewhat dim, because she didn't know if the people in the convoy would treat the children badly or even ignore them because Song Yan was not there.

"Will we be safe once we get there?" Wu Qing asked again. There were twelve people in the group, and apart from Uncle Chen, who he was more familiar with, the only one he felt most willing to get close to was Li Muran. Maybe because she was a woman, or maybe because she had saved them.

Li Muran hesitated for a moment, and then slowly hummed. She couldn't really say whether it was safe or not, but it should be better than what they are doing now.

"Auntie, have some candy." Little Nannan leaned out of her brother's arms and stretched her little hand in front of Li Muran. There was a piece of wet and sticky candy on it. No one knew where it came from, but it had obviously been licked.

"Stupid, call me sister." Wu Qing patted his sister's head and said.

Nannan raised her little head and looked at her brother innocently, as if she didn't understand why she was being beaten. At this moment, Ke Changfeng's voice came from the front: "Everyone, pay attention, get ready to clean up the zombies."

Chapter 206 Escape and Counterattack (6)

The road out of the city is difficult to travel. Not only are there zombies blocking the road, but there are also many abandoned vehicles and mutant plants. People often need to get out of the car to clear the road. Hearing the shouts, Li Muran picked up a machete and jumped out of the car with Ke Changfeng and others. Even Wu Qing joined in. Ye Jian held the back of the chair and sat in the driver's seat. The others who could not get out of the car also sat by the window and used their supernatural powers to deal with the mutant plants and the denser zombie groups in the car.

Li Muran and Wu Qing were relatively weak, so they were responsible for the scattered zombies in the car or between cars. Ke Changfeng, He Ruan and Uncle Chen were responsible for pushing the car aside to make way, and from time to time they had to clean up the zombies and mutant plants and animals that escaped. They

kept going and stopping, and had to look for gasoline and collect supplies from time to time on the road. At the end of the day, they did not walk more than 50 kilometers. Song Yan woke up once during the trip. Li Muran was worried that he would say something unpleasant again. Fortunately, he just looked at everything around him indifferently and fell asleep again not long after. When he woke up again, they had already found a place to stay for the night and settled down.

"Muran, bring me some food." When he woke up, he subconsciously wanted to get up, as if he had forgotten that he was injured. But he felt something was wrong after moving a little. He looked around and found that the place was unfamiliar, but he couldn't remember why he was here. He guessed that he had lost his memory again, so he shouted.

Li Muran was not a petty person, but what happened in the morning still made her feel a little uncomfortable, but she didn't show it again. She came over with a bowl of boiled water and said, "You have injured your abdominal organs. It is not recommended to eat these days." Even if it is water, you should take a sip.

Song Yan didn't respond. He just waited for Li Muran to put down the bowl and came to help him, and then he whispered, "How did you get injured?" He remembered that they were still in the Imperial Capital Base, and he had forgotten the rest. Fortunately, he still remembered that he had a problem of memory loss, so he was not very surprised.

Li Muran glanced at him, and expressionlessly recounted the events from the time they arrived at the Imperial Capital Base to the time he was injured, but he skipped the events of the morning.

Song Yan fell silent, and waited for the bowl in Li Muran's hand to wet his dry mouth and throat, and then raised his right hand to touch his waist and abdomen and left shoulder.

"My intuition tells me that if I don't eat, I will definitely starve to death first." After a moment, he smiled bitterly. At the moment, his whole body was in pain, and he felt that the pain was more like the pain of his joints being stretched, but in the severe pain, he also felt extremely hungry, which was far from comparable to being hungry for several days. He had a hunch that if he didn't eat, he would definitely not survive this night.

"Are you sure?" Li Muran hesitated. Common sense told her that it would be best for him not to eat at this time, so as to avoid leakage, aggravating his injuries and causing other complications, but there was no condition to give him a nutrition bag at the moment. If he didn't take in any energy, his injuries would be difficult to heal. Just looking at these three days, apart from the abnormal arm, he has lost a lot of weight. If he continues like this, it is hard to say how long he can hold on.

"Sure." Song Yan was helpless. He wanted to endure it, but he couldn't. He even felt that Li Muran in front of him and a group of people not far away exuded an alluring fragrance. If he hadn't been rational, he would have pounced on them.

Li Muran looked at him quietly for a moment, then nodded slightly and got up to get the food. As soon as she left, Song Yan picked up the bowl that had become warm on the side and drank the water in it. Anyway, they were going to eat, so they didn't care about having an extra bowl of water.

During the time when Li Muran took out the eight-treasure porridge and heated it up, He Ruan, Ke Changfeng and others came to see him, but they couldn't do anything except ask him how he felt. Seeing that he seemed a little impatient, they all walked away with understanding.

Li Muran originally planned to feed Song Yan only a can of eight-treasure porridge to barely fill his stomach, but he said it was not enough. After he finished drinking it, he asked for another can. After that, he refused to eat porridge anymore and insisted on eating meat. Li Muran had no choice but to cook noodles again and added canned ham to make it soft. As a result, he ate the whole bowl, but he was still hungry. Li Muran began to scratch his head and simply gave up and went to get him something else. This tossing and turning alarmed everyone else. Some people thought that his ability to eat was a sign that he was getting better soon, while others were a little worried that something might happen if he continued to eat like this. But no matter whether others persuaded or agreed, Song Yan insisted on eating another five bottles of canned meat and five or six pounds of noodles before stopping. He stopped because he fell asleep again.

No one felt sorry for the food, but everyone looked at his obviously bulging stomach in horror, afraid that it would burst the next moment. Finally, Li Muran found a way to change his posture to a slightly safer one. Of course, that slightly safer one was just a psychological comfort. What made everyone feel relieved was that after a night, Song Yan's bulging stomach slowly calmed down, and he did not show any other abnormalities. He still had a high fever like the previous two days.

"It seems that we need to collect more food." Ke Changfeng said, touching his chin. The cars and supplies they brought out from the base were abandoned in that small town because they were hunted down. They did not stay in Tuyuan City for a long time, and they did not have enough manpower. There were not many things they collected, which were only enough for one or two days. Now Song Yan's way of eating, if they did not get more, everyone would go hungry.

This goes without saying. He Ruan was too lazy to answer. His eyes fell on the sleeping Song Yan, thinking.

So the next day, the group stayed in the original place for another day. Although Xie Qiusheng and Ye Jian were the most seriously injured at the time, because they did not have fractures, they recovered the fastest under He Ruan's treatment. It is estimated that they will be able to recover in another day. So the two of them took up the responsibility of defense. Li Muran, Uncle Chen, Wu Qing, Ke Changfeng and He Ruan, who were all safe, went out to collect food, while Wu Lan was looked after by the others.

This area may not have been visited by a large number of survivors, so although some supermarkets and stores have signs of being broken into, there are still many things left. With Li Muran's mental detection warning, the collection process was relatively smooth, and there was no major danger. As for the small groups of zombies and mutant plants that popped up from time to time, this was unavoidable and was the norm in the end of the world. It was not difficult for several people to deal with it. They just didn't dare to drive because the noise was too loud and it was easy to attract zombies to gather, so they had to make more trips. Fortunately, they got a lot of things in a day. Even if Song Yan was a big eater, it was enough to deal with it for a while. After a

tiring day, they ate something casually at night, and several people fell asleep. Li Jing and the others took turns to guard the night. Although their legs were broken, they were after all superpowers, and their hearing was much better than that of ordinary people, so it was not a problem to guard the night. Fortunately, Song Yan did not wake up all day, and his condition did not worsen, so he did not delay anyone's work.

In the middle of the night, Li Muran suddenly woke up because of a heart-pounding feeling. She subconsciously looked over to Song Yan and found that he was still unconscious, but she was still worried. She got up and walked over to him, checked his breath, and looked at his wounds, but found nothing unusual.

At this time, Li Jing and Qin Zurong were on guard. They were a little surprised to see her get up, but when they saw her check on Song Yan's condition, they understood. They thought she was worried about Song Yan's condition, so they did not ask. Everyone else was sleeping soundly. The little girl nestled in Wu Qing's arms was pouting, and it was unknown whether she was dreaming of breastfeeding or something. After a while, she hummed softly and kicked her legs, but failed to kick off the quilt wrapped around her body. Apart from that, the surroundings were quiet, and even the two people on guard did not talk for fear of disturbing them. Li Muran was a little confused and couldn't figure out where the uneasiness came from, so she used her mental power to explore the situation outside. It was very quiet within a kilometer radius, and there was no danger approaching. She shook her head, thinking that she was just being nervous. She was about to go back to sleep, but she felt uneasy, so she checked again carefully, not just the surroundings. Unexpectedly, this look really made her see the problem.

"Don't sleep, get up quickly, that man is chasing us!" She sat up straight with a layer of white sweat on her back. It turned out that on the way they came, about ten kilometers away from here, a figure was rushing towards them in the night. She looked carefully and it was the young man from the Wuzong sect who beat them all without any chance of fighting back. Judging from his speed, it would take less than an hour to catch up here.

Except for Xiao Nannan, everyone else was very alert even if they were asleep. When they heard her warning, they sat up and asked what was going on while putting on their coats. Li Jing and the others also reached out for their makeshift crutches, but no one questioned her.

When Li Muran finished telling them what she had found out, the group had already packed up and were ready to go out. They put all the supplies they collected in the car outside, except for food for the evening and some in their backpacks, which saved a lot of time.

"How did that bastard get here?" Li Jing gritted his teeth in hatred.

No one could answer this question. Ke Changfeng got in the car first and started the car. Uncle Chen and He Ru'an were responsible for carrying Song Yan. Xiao Nannan, who was wrapped in a thin blanket and held up, hummed twice like a kitten because she was disturbed by the noise, and then lay obediently in her brother's arms. The escape experience before entering the Imperial Capital Base had made the little kid, who was less than three years old, lose the pampered nature that a child should have. The rest of the people helped each other out, instead of just sitting there waiting for someone to carry them. Li Muran fell behind and collected all the bedding, compressed and tied it up, and then carried it to the car.

The sound of the car starting up spread far away in the dark night, causing the zombies wandering in the darkness to stir and gather towards the place where the sound came from.

Uncle Chen and He Ru'an carried Song Yan into the car and came to pick up the others. After all, it was the reaction and speed forced by the end of the world. When everyone got in the car and the car drove onto the road, it took less than five minutes in total.

More than ten kilometers away, Yuan Jinshu seemed to have a pair of night eyes, and was not affected by the darkness at all. He moved up and down, agile and swift. Because the road from Tuyuan had been cleared, he had no obstacles. Actually, it was Li Muran and his crew's bad luck. He had lost track of them, and because he was too embarrassed to go back and report, he just wandered around nearby to see if he could find any clues. Unexpectedly, he met a team of survivors. He fell in love with a pretty girl in the team and chased them to Tu Yuan. As a result, he found traces of Li Muran and his crew, so he chased after them without hesitation.

Chapter 207 Escape and Counterattack (7)

Humans are naturally slower than cars, but Li Muran and his team had to clear the road while driving forward, which took a lot of time. In addition, they only collected food during the day and did not prepare gasoline. They had to stop from time to time on the road to search for gasoline to prevent the oil from running out and being killed. This slowed them down. Fortunately, Ke Changfeng and his team had received professional tracking and anti-tracking training. While refueling or clearing the road, they would also do some tricks on the way or the side roads, so as to create a confusing array and add a lot of trouble to Yuan Jinshu, so that he did not catch up quickly.

This time they drove day and night, and only stopped when necessary. Everyone took turns driving, whether eating or sleeping in the car, in order to rely on the tireless machine to throw off the people who were tracking them with their feet. At the very least, they had to increase the distance between each other to buy more time. Li Muran could not drive, but he had special abilities, so he was responsible for monitoring the other party.

In the next twenty days, they spent their lives escaping. Song Yan woke up less and less frequently, and for shorter and shorter periods of time. Every time he woke up, he had to eat a lot, but fortunately he didn't change his face or say anything harsh. Until he entered Beizhou Province and arrived at Renhuai City. After running for more than a thousand kilometers day and night, everyone was a little bit unbearable, so they simply took the opportunity to throw Yuan Jinshu out of Li Muran's perception range again. They found a car repair shop to rest, and at the same time modified the car that was hit and on the verge of falling apart, replaced it with new tires, and prepared for the next long-distance trip. After this period of time, except for Song Yan, everyone else recovered under He Ru'an's treatment. As long as they didn't encounter a pervert like Yuan Jinshu again, it shouldn't be a big problem to safely reunite with Song Yan's convoy.

"A bunch of trash!" After learning that everyone was still being hunted by that Wu Zongren, Song Yan spat out these words almost viciously. No, it should be said that he woke up once before, and said "What is this place" and "Kill him", and then ate a bunch of canned food, fruits, fish, and vegetables, and then fell asleep helplessly. But this time he didn't sleep for long, and woke up again unexpectedly. Before anyone could feel happy for him, he said something that offended everyone.

Li Muran's scalp numbed, knowing that he might have lost control again, but it was too late to isolate everyone at this time, and he didn't know how to make peace for a while.

"Fuck, are you talking human words? If it weren't for you, would we be chased like stray dogs?" Because of that sentence, everyone's face turned ugly. Ke Changfeng had the most impatient temper and cursed angrily.

"Song Er, remember, we are just here to see you off, not your subordinates, who can be insulted and scolded at will!" Even He Ruan, who was always calm, was angry and reminded in a deep voice.

No one else said anything, but their eyes turned unfriendly towards Song Yan. Only Qin Zurong lowered his head, because he was the cause of the whole thing, so he thought he had no right to be angry.

Song Yan sneered, his eyes emitting an evil and contemptuous light. He seemed to want to say something, but his expression froze. He struggled for a moment, and then fell asleep again unwillingly.

"This bastard!" Li Jing cursed. Not only him, but everyone else felt as if they had been punched hard by someone, and when they wanted to fight back, they found that the puncher had already escaped.

"Well, that... He wasn't like this before..." Li Muran wanted to explain awkwardly, but Song Yan didn't want others to know about the mutation, and she couldn't guarantee that others would be able to accept it, so she felt weak and powerless to explain.

"It's okay. We understand. Anyone who becomes like him will become eccentric." Surprisingly, Ke Changfeng, who was originally furious, actually smiled and said, "Besides, Song Er is right. Even if we were not a bunch of trash originally, we became trash after fighting with that Wu Zongren... We were scared trash. Otherwise, we wouldn't have fled without even the thought of resistance when we heard him chasing us." At this point, he shook his head in self-mockery and turned back to where he was. "It's fucking embarrassing!"

"Yeah." He Ru'an responded in a low voice, as if thinking about something. "We can't run away anymore."

Regardless of what they thought in their hearts, a group of people finally gathered together and began to discuss how to deal with Yuan Jinshu. Since they couldn't beat him with real swords and guns, they had to use their brains. At least this time, they had foresight and time. Li Muran, who was still in the same place, checked Song Yan's body and found that as he had guessed, his left arm hidden in the loose clothes had become thicker and scaly again, and the situation seemed to be more serious than last time. Even his neck and left chest had a tendency to turn black and swell, and the blackened area of ​​his waist and abdomen had exceeded the range of the gauze bandage. She was a little worried, wondering if he would completely turn into a beast and eventually lose his mind.

——After

chasing for more than 20 days without catching up with the target, Yuan Jinshu was not unirritable. The more irritated he was, the more angry he became with Song Yan and his group. He had thought of hundreds of ways to torture them. He liked to torture and kill people, so when he heard about what happened to Lu Lin and the others on the street, he took the initiative to take the matter, just to get a few people back to play. But he didn't expect that there was someone in the other team who could teleport, which made him suffer a great loss. Now that he knew that it was that woman who was causing trouble, when he caught up with them, the first thing he would do was to kill her. Anyway, she was not beautiful, so there was nothing to regret. Then, let's see how they can escape from his palm.

But these dirty rats are really good at running, damn it!

Looking at the dead silent city shrouded in a layer of dusk in front of him, Yuan Jinshu pouted, dusted off the snow dust, and decided to find a comfortable place inside to rest first, and then continue chasing after him after he has enough energy. Although all the traces indicate that those people have not come out after entering the city, but with the lessons learned from the past, the more obvious it is, the less he believes it.

"He went into the supermarket." In the underground garage of a shopping mall a few streets away, Li Muran, Ye Jian, Wu Qing and Wu Lan were sitting in a luxury business car, and the sleepy Song Yan was placed horizontally on the back seat. Li Muran closed his eyes and leaned against the back of the chair, saying.

Yuan Jinshu came quickly, and they were not fully prepared, so they asked a few people who could not help much to stay in the garage ready to drive to pick them up at any time, while the others continued to make arrangements. Li Muran was responsible for monitoring Yuan Jinshu. Once he was spotted coming towards their location, she asked Ye Jian, who possessed wind powers, to notify the others and everyone to retreat immediately. It was better to give up the arrangements that had been made than to act in a hurry, so as not to alert the other party. It would be troublesome if they had to act again next time.

"He came out, holding a lot of food in his hand... He came this way..." Seeing Yuan Jinshu carrying a large bag of food and walking across two street corners in a dignified manner, as if he was walking towards their location, Li Muran became nervous, and the people who were listening to her broadcast also held their breath nervously.

"He entered a hotel." A heavy sigh sounded in the car. Li Muran was distracted, opened her eyes and looked to the side, meeting the eyes of Wu Qing and Ye Jian. After a moment of surprise, the three of them laughed at the same time, and the solemnity in their hearts was relieved a little.

After laughing, Li Muran continued to monitor.

"He is boiling water... uh, it seems that he is preparing to take a..." bath! Half an hour later, she awkwardly withdrew her mental power, but she was alert not to utter the last word, so that others would not associate it with themselves and become wary of her. In fact, it was at this moment that she realized that her mental detection ability seemed... a little vulgar.

"Wash what?" Wu Qing subconsciously asked.

"Wash your face." Li Muran replied quickly with a blank expression. The image of the man taking off his clothes appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but grin and make a face in his heart.

Ye Jian looked at her strangely and didn't say anything.

The muscles on Li Muran's face stiffened slightly, and he looked forward, pretending not to know. After waiting for about five minutes, he gritted his teeth and focused his attention on the luxury suite of the hotel again. After confirming that the person was still there, he stopped his mental power outside the door until the person put on his clothes and came out, and then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"He's making food... vermicelli, black fungus, mushrooms, canned meat, canned fish, canned vegetables... hiss... he's cooking hot pot..." Li Muran looked at the boiling red soup and swallowed her saliva. Suddenly, she wanted to eat fresh vegetables more than ever before. Chinese cabbage, Chinese cabbage, chrysanthemum, spinach, rapeseed, pea tips, lettuce tips, small melons, potatoes, and all kinds of fresh mushrooms were put into the soup... She couldn't think about it anymore. She looked out the car window, the garage was extremely dark, there was a faint smell of rot in the air, and there were faint zombie howls coming from a distance. There were no noisy human voices, and no horns honking one after another. The shadow of death shrouded the whole world. It was good enough to be full, so how could she be qualified to order food.

"Sister, can you not broadcast it in such detail?" Wu Qing wiped his saliva with a tissue, and wiped the girl in his arms twice, complained, and then said eagerly: "After we kill that bad guy, let's have hot pot."

Ye Jian coughed twice to cover up his saliva secretion. He didn't want to participate in such a childish topic, but he couldn't help it in the end: "We can get more canned beef and mushrooms. Get some vegetable seeds. Old Xie has wood-type abilities, so let him grow some green leafy vegetables. It's a pity that there is no tofu..." His tone was full of regret. "We

need to put more chili and pepper, so it will taste better. Oh, by the way, we need to get more vegetables. We haven't eaten fresh vegetables for a year." Wu Qing sucked his saliva with a hissing sound, and added with bright eyes, as if he had already eaten the hot pot.

"It takes a lot of energy to produce seeds. I estimate that Old Xie can only produce half a pound of chrysanthemums, or one or two cabbages. But in the future, we can ask him to produce a little every day. After a few days, we should be able to eat as much as we want." Ye Jian thought seriously and said.

Li Muran restrained his gloomy mood and listened with relish to the two people's discussion on how to make a delicious hot pot with limited resources. He also made one or two suggestions from time to time until Yuan Jinshu finished eating.Chapter 208 Escape and Counterattack (8)

"Asleep?" Ye Jian asked doubtfully.

"Hmm."

"Could he be faking it?" Wu Qing said.

"No, unless he knows we are watching him." Li Muran shook her head, paused, and then said, "But with this man's arrogance, even if he knows we are watching him, he will probably do whatever he wants." After she finished

speaking, the three of them fell into silence. Although the other party's sleep meant that they had more time, they couldn't help feeling a little uneasy when they saw him so leisurely.

"I'll sleep for a while, call me in five minutes." Since the other party had already fallen asleep, Li Muran naturally didn't need to continue to monitor him. Moreover, in the past twenty days, she had to use her mental power to check the other party's whereabouts all the time. In the last twenty kilometers, she didn't dare to withdraw her mental power for a moment. At this time, she was already exhausted. Anyway, she couldn't guess what the man was thinking, so she might as well take a nap. But she didn't dare to be too careless after all. She calculated that five minutes would not allow the man to reach their location anyway.

Ye Jian agreed. Not to mention that he had a watch on his hand, even if he didn't have a watch, he could still tell the time accurately.

Li Muran fell asleep almost as soon as she closed her eyes. Seeing the heavy shadow under her eyes, Ye Jian felt a little reluctant. If he wasn't really afraid of Yuan Jinshu, he would have wanted her to sleep a little longer.

Five minutes later, Li Muran woke up with a start. It turned out that Ye Jian called her. She didn't hear it, but she woke up reflexively. Most people living in the end times have this kind of alertness, and they will not sleep so hard that they don't react to the movements around them because they are too tired. She forced herself to be alert, glanced at Yuan Jinshu, and found that he was still asleep, so she couldn't help but feel relieved. So she said hello to Ye Jian and the others, and went back to sleep. After tossing and turning for more than an hour, she was sure that the other party would not leave the hotel in the short term, so she extended her sleep time to one hour. Until Ke Changfeng and others finished the arrangements and returned to the garage, the man did not get up. At this time, Li Muran had already had a good sleep, so he took up the responsibility of vigilance again and asked others to take time to rest.

However, this time, Li Muran woke everyone up after only an hour.

"He got up!"

"Act according to the plan!" He Ruan ordered that he would temporarily take charge of the team until Song Yan recovered. As

soon as the voice fell, everyone dispersed and went their own way.

Yuan Jinshu was not a person who was willing to treat himself badly. He had to eat the best food and live in the best place. Even when chasing the enemy, he always made himself comfortable. This was the main reason why he had not caught up with Li Muran and his group after more than 20 days of chasing. Although Li Muran's ability made him suffer a loss, due to his nature, he did not look up to Song Yan and his group because of this. He thought that when he caught up with them again, as long as he got rid of Li Muran first, the others would naturally be easy to catch, so he did not pay too much attention to it.

In just one night, the outside of the hotel was already crowded with zombies. Looking at the ugly face pressed against the glass door, Yuan Jinshu wiped his nose with a handkerchief in disgust and turned to leave through the hotel's staff passage. It's not that he couldn't handle it, but he liked the fear of living people and the sweet smell of blood. These zombies had long been dead, not only were they unconscious, but even their blood was black, dirty and smelly. He didn't want to dirty himself.

The hotel environment was quiet. From the staff passage, there was a quiet path through a small garden, which was naturally occupied by mutant plants at this time. Compared with the dirty and rotten zombies, the mutant plants, although cruel but colorful and very good-looking, were easier for him to accept. With extremely agile body movements, he easily passed through the mutant plants. Outside was a commercial street. There were many zombies on the road, but compared with the situation in front of the hotel's main entrance, it was much better and could not cause any trouble to him at all.

After crossing two streets, he originally wanted to go back to the entrance of the city to look for clues and determine the tracking direction, but he didn't expect to find the traces left by Li Muran and others. The corpses of zombies that had been hacked and killed could not have been more than five days old, and the fragments of the burned mutant plants were so obvious that he almost suspected that this was another deliberate attempt by the other party to deceive him. Until he followed the trail to a five-way intersection, he saw a bus that had obviously become dilapidated after a long journey, which had to stop in the middle of a pile of vehicles because the traffic ahead was too serious and there was no way to clear the road. Although they were both tattered and old, and covered with white snow, the long-abandoned ones and the newly used ones could still be distinguished at a glance.

Yuan Jinshu hissed, took out a handkerchief to hold his nose, and stepped onto the bus with two or three steps with the door wide open. He kicked away the zombies that were attracted by the remaining smell of living people in the car and were wandering around in it without their target. He glanced at the empty carriage with nothing left, snorted coldly, and turned around and got off the bus.

Do you want to change cars, or do you plan to stay in this place? After discovering that every road connected to the five-way intersection had traces left by people, Yuan Jinshu stood on the roof of a car with a long sword on his back, looking at the zombies squeezing towards him from the gaps between the cars, thinking. The information he had was limited. Apart from the situation of the boy and his patron, he knew almost nothing about the rest of the people, let alone their final destination, so he had this question. After all,

it was not an important matter, and he threw this question behind his mind in a blink of an eye. When he was about to set off to eliminate the forged traces one by one, a warning sign suddenly appeared in his heart, and his eyes swept towards the power building on the right like a sharp sword. He saw two points of fire falling from the fifth floor of the building like a meteor, hitting his position. He thought it was a fireball thrown by the opponent's fire ability, but when he looked closely, he found that it was two beer bottles on fire. Two figures stood by the window on the fifth floor, one lighting a fire, and the other continuing to throw bottles. They were two of the group of people he was chasing. He remembered that his legs were broken by him, but now they seemed to be healed.

Do you think you can kill him with a few broken bottles? He thought sarcastically, but he was not careless. Instead, he jumped far away to avoid the bottles and ran towards the power building, intending to capture the two alive.

From his position to the main entrance of the power building, there were only two cars that crashed into each other and a crosswalk, which was only about ten meters away. Even if there were three zombies in the middle, drooling and rushing towards him, it would only take him two or three seconds to cross. However, in this short moment, two bottles fell to the ground and exploded. With a bang, the flames and thick smoke rose up, more than two meters high, and then quickly spread to the surroundings, sweeping everything within a radius of five or six meters, including cars, zombies, long wooden chairs on the roadside, and trash cans.

Yuan Jinshu dodged quickly, so only the clothes on his back were burned and a few hairs were scorched, but he was not burned. Even so, he was still furious, but before he could fully express his anger, he heard several more sounds of broken glass. The front of him was already a sea of ​​fire, and at the same time, something exploded with a rumble. Huge air waves, flames, and many sharp fragments flew everywhere. The explosion affected the entire Wucha intersection, and even the roadside buildings were not spared.

"Cough!" Yuan Jinshu pressed his handkerchief to his mouth and coughed out a mouthful of blood. Although he had tried his best to avoid it, he still suffered a considerable impact. Not only were his body burned and scratched in many places, but even his internal organs were injured.

Looking at the bloody marks on the snow-white handkerchief, he threw it away casually. The previous anger on his face disappeared, but his eyes became extremely gloomy. Dusting off the dust on his body, he took a breath and jumped up, chasing to the fifth floor like lightning.

After Ye Jian and Ke Changfeng threw the eight simple incendiary bottles they brought and detonated the homemade bombs they had planted the day before, they immediately climbed to the opposite building along the rope tied to the other window without looking at the results. Ye Jian had the ability of wind and was fast, so he walked in front, while Ke Changfeng stayed behind. When Yuan Jinshu arrived, Ke Changfeng was still hanging on the rope, about five or six meters away from crossing. Hearing Ye Jian's shout, he immediately made a decisive move, wrapped one leg around the rope twice, tightened the rope with one hand, and transformed an extremely sharp metal blade with the other hand, and cut it in two with one knife.

The two ropes fell at the same time and hit the walls of the building they were tied to. When Ke Changfeng was about to hit the wall, his foot that was not tied by the rope suddenly kicked against the wall, and the rope swung out again. He took advantage of the situation to straighten his waist and grabbed the rope above his legs, and then climbed up very neatly. After jumping into the window, he looked back, but he didn't see Yuan Jinshu. Just as he was confused, Ye Jian pulled him, "He's downstairs! Go!"

It turned out that Yuan Jinshu originally wanted to chase him along the rope. He knew Qinggong, so he could naturally arrive first. Maybe he would be caught up by Ke Changfeng before he arrived at the opposite side. Unexpectedly, Ke Changfeng was very decisive and cut the rope immediately, so that he lost the leverage and wanted to fly directly to the opposite building from the air. It was impossible, so he simply grabbed the falling rope and fell to the ground. It was only the height of the fifth floor, and the broken rope went straight to the second floor. Jumping from the second floor, unless the luck was too bad, ordinary people would not be seriously injured, let alone him. It saved him the time of going downstairs.

He looked out and saw Yuan Jinshu had already entered the building where they were. His speed made Ke Changfeng's hair stand on end. He dared not delay any longer and hurriedly chased after Ye Jian and fled along the route that had been planned long ago. After passing

another building, he went down to the second floor through the elevator shaft. From a room on the second floor that had been opened and cleaned, he jumped into the deep alley between the two buildings, and then entered a cross street in front of him, running wildly along the right sidewalk. Although they took the initiative, they had no choice but to let Yuan Jinshu's speed far exceed that of ordinary people, and his ears and eyes were very sharp, and he kept chasing them.

"It's bad!" This street had been cleaned by them, and they used the sound and the smell of blood to attract the surrounding zombies as far away from this place as possible. Although there were zombies wandering behind, they were only a few scattered ones, and it was expected that they would not affect their escape. But at this time, a group of zombies that were attracted from nowhere appeared at the corner of the street in front of them. There were at least thirty or forty zombies, and they were rushing towards them with great momentum and excitement. Under normal circumstances, the two of them could handle it, but now there is a killer following behind them. Not to mention fighting their way out of the horde of zombies, even if they delay for a moment, they will probably fall into the opponent's hands.

Chapter 209 Escape and Counterattack (9)

"Charge!" Ye Jian shouted firmly, and at the same time, his supernatural power was activated, forming a small tornado behind them. Their mission was not yet completed, and they must not give up halfway, even if it meant death. If they could not kill that Wu Zong man this time, when he launched a crazy counterattack, all of them combined would not be able to stop him.

The tornado blew up the snow on the roof of the car on the ground, forming a snow mist. Although it did not pose a threat to Yuan Jinshu, it effectively blocked his vision and slowed down his pursuit speed to some extent. Ke Changfeng's hands turned into sharp blades, and he rushed into the zombies first, slashing, kicking, and charging forward with unprecedented ferocity. Ye Jian followed closely behind him, gritting his teeth to support the tornado, buying them more time. No matter what, they had to lure the people over.

Hearing Ke Changfeng's muffled groan, Ye Jian's heart sank slightly, and he asked distractedly: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Ke Changfeng responded quickly, and his speed and momentum did not seem to weaken, but seemed to be even more fierce. After all, ordinary zombies have no wisdom, do not know how to fill the vacant position in time, and do not know how to cooperate with each other, so under the two people's desperate charge, they quickly opened a gap and rushed through. Although the road they rushed out was soon filled up by the remaining zombies, it had no effect on them.

After rushing through the zombie group, Ye Jian withdrew the tornado. His superpowers were not enough to support him for too long, especially when he was still running wildly. The zombie group split into two groups, one chasing after them, and the other running towards Yuan Jinshu who had already caught up.

"Looking for death!" Yuan Jinshu had been annoyed for a long time, and he didn't care whether it was dirty or not. He drew his long sword out of the sheath, as fast as thunder and lightning, and with the cold light jumping, more than a dozen zombies turned into a pile of rotten corpses in an instant. But it was only a moment's delay. Ke Changfeng and Ye Jian in front had already turned the corner and disappeared. Only a few zombies were left behind, indicating that they had not run too far. He looked at the black rotten flesh on the sword with disgust, and accidentally caught a glimpse of the bloody drops on the trampled and dirty snow in front. He sneered and jumped to catch up.

Turning the corner, he caught a glimpse of the two people running a hundred meters away. The zombies had been left behind by them for a distance, and because of his approach, they turned back and pounced on him. Anyway, one group will be killed, and two groups will be killed too, so he might as well kill them all to avoid being annoying like flies. By the time he finished dealing with these zombies, Ke Changfeng and the others had already run two hundred meters away.

Now there is nothing that can stop him from catching people! Yuan Jinshu raised a mocking smile and sped up suddenly. The distance between them was shortened at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, just as he was accumulating strength in his right sword, waiting to get closer to intercept him, he suddenly heard a rustling sound in his ears, like a snake crawling. His body stagnated slightly, and he saw countless green vines pouring out from under the roadside cars, in the shops, and in the windows upstairs. In a blink of an eye, they blocked his way forward and backward, and gradually wanted to entangle him. Yuan Jinshu cursed a few words in a

rare way. He knew that these mutant vines were much harder to cut than ordinary zombies. He was also worried that the people hiding in the dark would repeat the same trick and detonate a few more bombs. By then, even if he was agile, he would not be able to dodge in time. So he did not dare to take it lightly. He immediately poured his internal strength into the sword body, without any fancy moves, just slashing horizontally and vertically, with a clean and neat technique, and in a moment, he chopped the mutant vines into pieces.

The surroundings were cleared, but he still stood there, listening for a moment, and then he ran after Ke Changfeng and the others, who had stretched the distance between them to more than 200 meters. He knew that there must be a wood-type supernatural person nearby, but he did not change his goal to find the person, but stubbornly stared at Ke Changfeng and the others. However, just as he was about to catch up, the person who was running for his life in front of him suddenly disappeared.

A trace of anger appeared on Yuan Jinshu's face, thinking that they had used the ability of teleportation to escape again. It was not until he got closer and saw the entrance to the underground passage that his expression eased slightly. As long as it was not teleportation, it would be fine.

But when he was about to go down, he paused, glanced across the street, and then walked in slowly. After about half a minute, he popped his head out again, and his eyes swept around fiercely.

Xie Qiusheng, who was hiding behind the counter of a beauty salon next to him, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If He Ruan hadn't caught him just now, I'm afraid he would have collided with the other party head-on.

When Yuan Jinshu entered the passage again, He Ruan pulled Xie Qiusheng, and the two quietly walked out. Without checking the situation in the passage, He Ruan directly picked up a small car from the roadside and threw it into the passage, while Xie Qiusheng directed the mutant vines that were previously controlled and huddled on both sides to move to the edge of the passage. As long as someone rushed out, the passage would be sealed immediately.

Yuan Jinshu went down to the underground passage and found that it was filled with all kinds of debris, shelves, tables and chairs, plywood with dry cement, cargo boxes, cardboard, etc., which made the middle road almost impassable, and the other exit on the same side was blocked so tightly that the light inside was very dim. After walking a few steps inside, nothing could be seen.

"Damn, a group of cowardly and dirty rats!" Yuan Jinshu spat, took out a flashlight from his backpack and turned it on. When he came out, he thought it would not be a big deal, so he didn't bring anything. This flashlight and some necessities in the backpack were obtained later.

The beam of light from the flashlight flickered in the pile of miscellaneous items. Yuan Jinshu listened carefully for a moment, and when he was sure that there was a low breathing sound in front of him, he followed the gap between the items and walked inside. Unexpectedly, after walking about ten steps, there was a loud noise behind him, as if something had rolled down from above into the passage. He knew something was wrong and wanted to turn back, but because the place was narrow and curved, it was difficult to turn around, and his speed was hindered. He heard the same noise several times again. When he finally rushed over, he found that the exit had been blocked by several cars. Only a little light came through the gaps between the cars, indicating that if he wanted to get out, he had to move all the cars away. Although he had the ability to push a small car, he could only sigh helplessly when faced with several piled up cars. At this time, he knew that he had been lured into someone else's trap step by step. His mind raced, and he suddenly rushed deep into the passage, wanting to catch the person hiding in it as soon as possible. It was just that the debris was tripping over them, and they couldn't increase their speed. They hadn't run two steps when a fire suddenly burst out in the passage, blocking the way ahead.

When several thunderous roars came from the bottom of the passage and the ground shook, He Ru'an and Xie Qiusheng, who were standing outside, cheered, clapped their hands, and quickly retreated.

In the garage, except for Wu Qing, Wu Lan, Qin Zurong, and Song Yan who had never left, everyone else came back one after another. The last to arrive were Uncle Chen, Ke Changfeng, and Ye Jian. The engines started, and the two cars drove out of the garage one after another, following a relatively quiet road and heading out of the city. Everyone was very excited, because they had finally gotten rid of the enemy who had been nagging them. In the future, they only had to deal with zombies and mutant creatures on the road, and no longer had to run for their lives day and night. It turned out that

after deciding to fight back, they broke into the warehouse of a blasting company, got a lot of explosives and detonators from it, and made a dozen Molotov cocktails with alcohol and gasoline. The explosives were placed at the five-way intersection where the bus stopped, and at two underground passages. The first location was chosen because if the enemy came after them, they would definitely stop there to check because they saw the bus, so they could surprise them with the explosives. However, considering Yuan Jinshu's abnormal skills, they did not dare to think that it would work in one shot, so they set the real killer in the underground passage, and the bait was Ke Changfeng and the other two. In order to fill the underground passage with things, they really spent a lot of effort, and finally even dismantled some of the surrounding cars to stuff them in, just to limit Yuan Jinshu's speed and body movement, so that he would not run out when the first car was thrown down. As for the other three entrances and exits of the passage, they had all been blocked long ago. After throwing the Molotov cocktail, Ke Changfeng and Ye Jian escaped through the tunnel opened in advance by Uncle Chen, who had the earth-related supernatural power. This time, even if that person had the ability to reach the sky, I'm afraid he would be reduced to ashes. The whole process took place in a very short time. Both the people who escaped and those who blocked the way did their best and were not fake at all. Although they could not completely avoid suspicion, they hardly gave the other party time to think, which increased the chance of success. In fact, this plan had many loopholes because of the hasty time. They were not sure that Yuan Jinshu would fall into the trap. A considerable degree of luck was involved in achieving the goal.

Because many zombies were attracted to the two streets where the explosion occurred, the group encountered almost no major obstacles on the way, which made people feel that the disaster had passed and the sky was clear and bright.

"We still need to get a small truck. With Song Er, a foodie, it is definitely not enough to bring so few things." Ye Jian said. The

off-road vehicle was leading the way in front. Sun Zhen, Li Jing, He Ru'an and Xie Qiusheng were on it, and the rest of the people were in the commercial vehicle at the back. The atmosphere was relaxed, and even the little girl who always hid in her brother's arms would occasionally hum a few songs that others couldn't understand. She was just over one year old at the end of the world, just learning to speak. After hiding and escaping for a year, it was good enough for her to learn to speak fluently, not to mention singing.

"Hey, you still remember that he called you a waste? You paid it back so soon!" Ke Changfeng replied with a smile.

Ye Jian groaned and was about to say something, but suddenly realized that Ke Changfeng's laughter seemed a little erratic. He glanced at him and saw that his face was pale, his lips were black, and his temples were soaked with sweat. He was startled and had an ominous feeling in his heart.

"What's wrong with you?"

Hearing his words, the others in the car subconsciously looked at Ke Changfeng and immediately saw that something was wrong with him. Ke Changfeng's lips trembled, and a struggle flashed in his eyes. After a moment, he smiled and said, "I'm afraid I can't go with you."

"Asshole, what did you say!" With a creak, Ye Jian stepped on the brakes, turned sideways and grabbed Ke Changfeng's collar, asking viciously, as if this would force back those hateful things.

Ke Changfeng smiled bitterly, turned slightly sideways, and lifted the sleeve of his right hand. He saw that a piece of flesh was missing from that arm, and most of his hand was soaked in blood, but at this time the wound was no longer bleeding, but began to turn black and smelly.

Chapter 210 Escape and Counterattack (10)

"Aren't you wearing thick clothes? How did you get bit here? Where's your gold ability?" Ye Jian didn't shy away. He grabbed his hand and bit it with his teeth. After questioning him repeatedly, he didn't wait for his answer. Suddenly, a sharp look flashed in his eyes and he said fiercely: "Cut off this hand!"

The off-road vehicle in front drove a distance before realizing that the car behind had not caught up, so it stopped. Sun Zhen leaned out and gestured to ask what happened. Everyone in the car was shocked by Ke Changfeng's condition, so naturally no one paid attention.

"It's been too long." Ke Changfeng shook his head and rejected the proposal. With his decisiveness, he had thought of this idea as early as when he was bitten, but the situation was special at the time. If he broke an arm, it would drag Ye Jian down, and even make the whole plan fail, so he didn't do it in the end. After the matter was resolved, he could feel that his body had changed. It didn't matter whether his arm was broken or not.

Later, he laughed again, the struggle in his eyes had dissipated, and his tone was very relaxed: "It's not a loss anyway, but you must give me a quick death when the time comes." Thinking of Yuan Jinshu who should have been buried in the underground passage, he felt that it was worth it. Besides, it's the end of the world. Being alive is lucky, and dying is normal. Not only him, I'm afraid that most people who are still struggling to survive have this awareness. There is really nothing to be sad about. It's just a pity that I haven't been able to find his brother.

"Get out! You fucking..." Ye Jian's eyes were red and he roared.

"Ye Jian, drive! Drive quickly!" Sun Zhen's shocked and angry voice came over, interrupting Ye Jian's roar.

Several people have a tacit understanding. When they heard the shout, Ye Jian didn't even have time to turn around to confirm what was going on. He started the car immediately, but only heard a bang, the car body shook, and something fell on the roof of their car. Everyone in the car was frightened and took out their weapons. Ye Jian stepped on the accelerator and rushed forward, trying to get rid of the things on the car.

The SUV in front had moved aside and slowed down. The four people sitting inside were ready to attack the things on top of the commercial vehicle as soon as it passed by.

Ziz——Accompanied by the harsh sound of metal scraping, a long sword that was blackened by smoke and fire penetrated straight down from the roof of the car. If Li Muran had not dodged quickly, he would have been pierced by a candied haws. When seeing this sword, except for the ignorant Wu Lan, the others turned from surprise to horror.

It was the man from Wu Zong! He is not dead!

"It's him!" Li Muran broke out in a cold sweat on his back. He quickly scanned the roof of the car with his mental power and exclaimed, confirming the most terrible guess in everyone's mind.

If he can't be killed like that, how can he be killed! At that moment, everyone couldn't help but feel depressed and desperate, but reality did not allow them to think more. Qin Zurong quickly stretched out his good hand and pressed it on the car body. The gold system ability was activated, trying to reseal the roof cover pierced by the sword and weld the sword body. However, at this moment, the window on the side where Li Muran was sitting was smashed by a punch, and a hand reached in and grabbed her directly. At the same time, the speeding car seemed to be pressed down by a heavy weight on the left side, and the right wheels were suspended in the air, almost overturning, and Ye Jian had to slow down.

Because of this sudden attack, the car was in chaos, and the four people in the off-road vehicle were unable to help. Seeing that Li Muran was about to be caught by the powerful claw, Wu Qing, who was sitting in the front, screamed, and his sister Wu Lan was so scared that she burst into tears. Uncle Chen has earth-related abilities, but his hand skills are not good, not to mention that there are seats and people between them, so he can't help at all. There is a sword on one side and a claw on the other. Li Muran has no way to avoid it, and can only use a knife to block it. But her reaction and speed are obviously not as good as that hand. She only felt a pain in her wrist holding the knife, and the knife was taken away, and then chopped back at her.

Li Muran's right wrist drooped limply, the intense pain distracted her mind, the opponent's move was so fast that she didn't even notice the cold blade reaching her neck, until her right ear suddenly hurt slightly, something hard and cold brushed past her cheek, then there were two clangs, and her left and right legs were hit by something, before she could see what happened, an arm across her chest pressed against the back of the chair, and at the same time, she heard the sound of fists hitting each other.

A very surprised sound came from outside the car window.

"Hey, your mother!" Song Yan's familiar voice sounded in the car, but it was a little more frivolous and irritable than usual.

Li Muran only felt a strong force coming, and the whole person was pulled to the right side of the seat. With a bang, the left door was knocked open, and a figure flashed out. Song Yan, who was originally lying on her right, was gone, and at the same time, fierce fighting sounds came from the roof of the car.

"What monster?" As Yuan Jinshu's feminine voice sounded, the fight quickly fell from the roof to the ground behind the car, and then quickly went away at a speed that ordinary people could not match, covered by the heavy snow that began to fall at some point.

From the window breaking to Song Yan's attack, everything happened in a short moment of lightning and flint, and the people in the car didn't even see how Song Yan made his move. Ye Jian hurriedly stopped the car, and the snow and the abandoned car in front blocked the road, so he couldn't drive any further. The off-road vehicle stopped at the same time. Except for Ke Changfeng and Qin Zurong, everyone got out of the car and looked in the direction where Song Yan and Yuan Jinshu disappeared. However, the heavy snow blinded them and they couldn't see anything.

"What's going on?" The snow was too heavy, and He Ru'an and others were at a distance, so they didn't understand what was going on at all. Or in other words, they didn't dare to think that someone in Li Muran's car would dare to jump onto the roof and challenge Yuan Jinshu.

"Isn't Song Er lying there unable to move? When will he get better?" This was Ye Jian's doubt. During this period, Song Yan had to be carried by others when getting in and out of the car. Suddenly, he became so agile that it really made people feel like they were dreaming.

Everyone's eyes turned to Li Muran, because she was the closest to Song Yan. Li Muran survived the disaster and was still in shock. When she heard the question, she looked back at the car door that was knocked off, shook her head, and couldn't answer. Her mental power had already extended to the direction where Song Yan and the others disappeared.

About 500 meters away, two figures were swooping in and fighting each other. One was swift and fierce, and the other was arrogant and domineering. When the fists and swords intersected, violent energy burst out, rolling up the snow powder like waves, and burying the two figures in it.

Li Muran took a breath of cold air, because she saw that Song Yan was shirtless at this time, and his entire upper body, including the left arm and even his face, was covered with black scales. His left hand was as dark and sharp as the devil's claws. Sparks flew when it collided with Yuan Jinshu's sword, and he was not at all inferior.

"That man is too powerful. We can't let Song Er fight him alone. Let's go back and take a look." He Ru'an's voice came to her ears, and Li Muran was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. She didn't care to continue watching the two people fighting. She retracted her attention and her mind raced, not knowing how to stop them. Her intuition told her that Song Yan would definitely not like them to see him like this. Then she heard He Ru'an continue to say: "Old Ye, you stay here. If you find that something is wrong, take the others and leave quickly."

In order to stop Yuan Jinshu, Ye Jian's superpowers had been exhausted. In addition, Ke Changfeng was in a bad condition. Li Muran and his men couldn't help much in such a battle, and they would die in vain, so Ye Jian didn't object.

After the explanation, He Ru'an and his men returned to the car. Li Muran's scalp was numb, and he watched the off-road vehicle start up, and the tires spun and kicked up the snow. He gritted his teeth and was about to say something to delay time, when he saw a tall figure walking out of the wind and snow with a dragon and a tiger step, holding a person in his hand. With a creak, the car that was about to turn around stopped again.

Li Muran and the others who were still standing there looked over at the same time, stunned for a moment. They saw Song Yan with his bare arms, his left hand behind his back, holding the young man from Wuzong who had chased them in a mess with his right hand, and walking towards them calmly step by step. In such cold weather, his entire upper body was only wrapped in bandages on his shoulders and waist, but he didn't seem to feel cold at all. Of course, this was not what surprised everyone. They were surprised that Yuan Jinshu was actually held in his hand like a dead dog. This was simply an incredible thing.

"Girl, bring me some clothes and gloves!" He spoke before he even got close. The others had only known Song Yan for a short time, so they didn't think there was anything wrong with his tone, but Li Muran, the person being instructed, felt as if she was struck by lightning. She didn't even think about how he had taken down Yuan Jinshu when she was distracted for a moment.

Girl!!!

She looked up at the sky speechlessly, got into the car resignedly, and searched for spare clothes and gloves for him.

"He has a way to stop people infected by zombies from mutating. Let him try. If it doesn't work, kill him!" Song Yan threw Yuan Jinshu in front of He Ru'an, "You treat his injuries, and don't worry about the broken bones."

Yuan Jinshu, who was originally arrogant, was now lying on the ground like a rag doll, with both legs broken and a bloody hole in his abdomen. Because it was too cold, not much blood flowed out, but if he was not rescued immediately, he might not live long. Seeing him like this, those who had been seriously injured by him and had broken legs felt relieved and wanted to kick him a few more times.

"What do you mean by zombie? I think we should just kill him..." He Ru'an and the others didn't know that Ke Changfeng had been bitten by a zombie. They thought that this person was too dangerous and that leaving him here would only bring disaster.

"Old Ke was bitten by those ghost things!" Ye Jian said hurriedly. He had been worried about Ke Changfeng's condition, but he didn't expect that there would be a glimmer of hope. Not to mention that the other party was just a disabled person, he would be willing to give it a try even if it was a mutant zombie or a mutant creature.

"What?" He Ru'an and the others were startled. They just realized that Ke Changfeng was not there, and they all looked inside the car.

Ke Changfeng was sitting in the passenger seat. At this time, he was leaning back on the chair with his eyes closed, his hands clenched into fists and resting on his legs. His whole body was tense and trembling faintly, as if he was trying his best to resist something. No wonder he didn't react at all when Yuan Jinshu attacked him before. Just by looking at his face, they knew it in their hearts. He Ru'an didn't delay any more, and quickly carried Yuan Jinshu into the car to treat his severe abdominal injury.

Now that Yuan Jinshu has been captured and the crisis is over, there is no need for them to leave in a hurry. At this time, Ke Changfeng is in trouble and the car door is damaged, so it is natural to find a safe place to stay first. So everyone got on the car as soon as possible and turned back to the city.

Chapter 211: The Alienated Song Yan

Because of Ke Changfeng's injury, even if Yuan Jinshu was caught, the situation in the car was still very dull. But Song Yan's change was too obvious, and it was impossible to pretend not to see it.

"Song Er, what's wrong with you?" Ye Jian couldn't help asking after glancing at Song Yan, whose face still had a faint tattoo-like black scale pattern in the rearview mirror.

Others couldn't help but prick up their ears. Even He Ru'an, who was treating Yuan Jinshu's injuries, and Yuan Jinshu, who was on the verge of death, slightly diverted their attention. Especially Yuan Jinshu, he felt that he was really confused and wronged this time, so how could he accept it. Now that he can escape for the time being, he must find out the reason. Song

Yan had already put on his clothes and sat in the back seat. With a hint of arrogance in his expression, he sneered: "Have you never seen a master? Idiot!"

"Fuck!" Ye Jian was furious. As soon as he stepped on the brake, he wanted to turn around and punch Song Yan. In fact, not only him, but also the others in the car were a little stunned, and then the idea of ​​violence also arose in their hearts. Yuan Jinshu laughed out loud. Although his laughter caused his abdominal wound to move, causing him to cough uncontrollably, his laughter never stopped, attracting many angry glares.

"It's a superpower! It's a superpower!" Li Muran grabbed Song Yan's arm and stood between them, saying urgently. She had seen the violent and fierce flames in Song Yan's eyes, and was afraid that Ye Jian would anger him and cause unpredictable consequences. "The director has just awakened a superpower. Let's drive quickly. If there is anything, wait until Ke Changfeng is better." Ye Jian snorted

, turned around, stepped on the accelerator angrily, and the car rushed out. Snowflakes poured in from the broken door and splashed all over Song Yan's head and face, who was sitting at the edge.

Li Muran was speechless, and couldn't help but look at Song Yan worriedly, fearing that this easily angry person would have a tantrum. Unexpectedly, she met his cold eyes, as if he could see through her thoughts.

"For the sake of you being my woman, this is just this once, and it won't happen again." He said coldly.

Li Muran's heart was pounding, but it was not because of the words that she was his woman, but because of the tone of his voice and the words "never again". She didn't know whether he meant that she shouldn't meddle in other people's business or that Ye Jian beat him up. What made her tremble even more was that the way he looked at her and the tone of his voice made her feel like she was being stared at by an evil ghost, as if she would be devoured if she resisted a little, so that she didn't even pay attention to the previous sentence he said.

The car suddenly fell into silence. The instinctive sense of danger made everyone subconsciously stop talking. After a while, Song Yan frowned and looked at Li Muran, who had withdrawn his hand and lowered his eyebrows and eyes with a hint of fear. He suddenly turned around and jumped out of the open car door, and disappeared in the wind and snow in a blink of an eye.

"Director!" Li Muran turned his head in surprise.

"What's wrong with him again?" Ye Jian was irritable, but he still stopped the car.

He Ru'an, who was treating Yuan Jinshu's injuries, looked up at him and seemed to want to say something, but he held back. The most important thing now is to stop Ke Changfeng's condition from getting worse. Everything else can be put aside for now.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Song Yan didn't come back. The wind and snow were pouring into the car. Even the superpowers couldn't stand it. The two siblings, Wu Qing and Wu Lan, were so cold that their faces turned blue and their lips turned white. In addition, staying outside for too long would easily attract zombies. In the end, they decided to find a place nearby to stay. They believed that with Song Yan's current ability, there shouldn't be much danger, and it wouldn't be difficult to find them

. In order to facilitate the repair and modification of the car, everyone finally chose the auto repair shop where they had stayed before. When they arrived at the place, Yuan Jinshu was no longer in danger and could barely move. As for curing him completely, that was absolutely impossible. This person was too powerful, and no one dared to take the risk.

"I will use a special method to stimulate the potential in his body. The process will be very painful. As long as you get through it, you will be fine." Yuan Jinshu said, coughing once or twice from time to time. At this time, he was no longer as carefree as when he was chasing people. In addition to the hole on his abdomen caused by Song Yan's hand, his clothes were also burnt in many places. His originally handsome face was also smoked black, and half of his hair was singed. Obviously, the bombing in the underground passage was not completely useless.

"You know the consequences of deceiving us!" He Ru'an warned coldly. If Ke Changfeng's situation was not too critical and there was no other way, he would not be willing to take this risk. He did not trust Wu Zong's people.

"I know, I don't want to die yet. Get me a set of clothes first, this set of clothes is really dirty!" Even at this time, Yuan Jinshu did not show the slightest humility, and even still had a little arrogance, but he was much more restrained than when they first met. Obviously, he is not a person who is blindly arrogant and inflexible. When it comes to life and death, he also knows to bow his head. Otherwise, he would not use the ability to prevent zombies as a bargaining chip to make a deal with Song Yan to temporarily save his life. He was quite depressed. He thought that as long as he could catch up with the others and get rid of Li Muran who could lead people away silently, the others would be his meat on the chopping board. He could do whatever he wanted. But he would step into the trap of the other party step by step. If it weren't for his internal force to protect his body and the cave entrance that was hastily sealed after Ke Changfeng and his friends left, he would have barely escaped. Even so, he was still seriously injured, but he was more convinced that Song Yan and his group were not strong enough, otherwise why would they play these conspiracies and tricks? He felt that he could easily take them down even if he was injured. In addition, he was furious and didn't care about his appearance. He chased after them as soon as he got out of the underground passage. He never thought that Song Yan, who had been seriously injured by him, would suddenly become so powerful. If he was not injured, he might not be afraid, but the internal organ concussion caused by the explosion was revealed when he used his internal force to fight the enemy, which slowed him down and eventually defeated him. Fortunately, he was quick-witted. He recalled the bloodstains he saw on the ground when he was chasing Ke Changfeng and the other two. He guessed that one of them might have been injured by zombies, and hurriedly shouted that he could save them. Otherwise, he might have been torn into pieces by the devil-like man. As long as there is green, there is no need to worry about firewood. He would not think it was shameful to show weakness and beg for mercy from the enemy. The most important thing was to survive. Only by surviving could he get back all the debts that should be collected.

"Damn it!" Ye Jian was angry and wanted to beat him up, but Ke Changfeng was in danger. At this time, saying one more word to him or delaying for one more second might cause endless regrets. Therefore, not only him, but even Qin Zurong, who hated Wu Zong the most, did not dwell on this point and suppressed his anger. Wu Qing quickly found a set of clothes and threw it over.

"You are so ugly, how can you be worthy of me!" Yuan Jinshu muttered dissatisfiedly, but fortunately, knowing his own situation, he did not dare to go too far and still changed his clothes.

The veins on the foreheads of several people in the room were bulging. If it weren't for the emergency, they would probably have beaten him up. He Ru'an glanced at him coldly, his eyes revealing that his patience had run out. He didn't say anything, but it was more effective than urging.

Yuan Jinshu didn't delay any longer. He barely gathered his internal strength and slapped Ke Changfeng's Baihui, Fengfu and other places on the top of his head, and then stopped. Ke Changfeng's body shook, and then shook violently. His face became uglier than before. He even let out a low and suppressed roar like a wounded beast in his throat. It was obvious that he was in great pain.

"What did you do to him?" Li Jing's face changed, and he grabbed Yuan Jinshu's collar and asked angrily.

"I remember I said it very clearly, buddy, are you old and your ears are not working well?" Yuan Jinshu slapped Li Jing's hand, but failed to slap it away, so he let him grab him, and said lazily without fear.

Seeing his reckless look, Li Jingya couldn't help but gnashing his teeth, but he still held back, loosened his hand, and said coldly: "You'd better pray that he's okay." For them, saving the other party's life was for Ke Changfeng. If Ke Changfeng couldn't pass this test, then it didn't matter whether the other party really wanted to save him or not.

Yuan Jinshu grinned, nonchalant. He was not afraid of threats, he was just seeking a glimmer of hope for himself. This method of stopping zombies from alienating was discovered by him accidentally when he was killing others. Later, he experimented many times and the success rate exceeded 50%. However, he was an extremely selfish person and did not make this method public, and even did not tell his master. It was only now that he needed to save himself that he revealed it, otherwise he would rather watch others die than think of taking action.

Since he was no longer needed, everyone threw him into the corner. Because he hated him so much, Li Jing, who was carrying him, dragged him over by his arm. Although he stumbled all the way and was in pain and sweated coldly, Yuan Jinshu still had a nonchalant smile on his face. After a while, he could even lean against the wall, grit his teeth, bend over and realign his broken leg bones.

"Hey, little... guy, help me find me some sticks and bandages." He panted and raised his head, looking at Wu Qing not far away, and said. His pale and handsome face was stained with smoke and black ash, and his slightly long hair was stuck to his cheeks by cold sweat. The pursuit of more than 20 days was almost like self-cultivation, which made him lose his alcohol and sex spirit and look much more pleasing to the eye. Although he was still rebellious, he was still practical. When he ordered Wu Qing to do something, he promptly changed the "little bastard" or "little bastard" he wanted to call to "little guy", and his tone was also much more polite, so some people became more decent and not so annoying.

Wu Qing, who was called, looked at him, then looked at the others, and hesitated between his expressions. In the end, he was soft-hearted and quietly went to find a wooden stick and a cloth.

The others' minds were on Ke Changfeng. Although they saw him, they didn't say anything. In their opinion, whether Ke Changfeng got better or not, this man could not be kept, even if he was asked to connect the broken bones now.

Just when everyone was worried about Ke Changfeng, Song Yan was standing in a shopping mall, his eyes bloodshot, surrounded by zombie body fragments. After a moment, he grabbed a piece of cloth and wiped the black blood off his hands. Then he smashed the counter with his fists and looted all the jewelry inside.

Chapter 212 A Mind Moved

"I heard that women like these things... and clothes." He muttered to himself, curled his lips, and walked to the second floor.

It didn't take long for him to clean out the entire mall. When he came down, he had changed his clothes and was carrying several large bags of things. The black scales on his face were looming, lighter than before. When he arrived outside the repair shop, they had completely disappeared.

"Crazy, what a mess." He stopped and looked down at the things in his hand, smiled bitterly, and threw them away. But after walking a distance inside, he exhaled heavily, turned back, squatted on the ground and searched for a long time, took out an off-white women's coat, hesitated, and changed into a camel-colored one.

"Did I really fall in love with that little girl?" he asked himself, then shook his head, somewhat helplessly, and sighed: "The taste is a bit strong!" You have to know that Li Muran is more than ten years younger than him, and he has never looked at her as an equal. In addition, the girl's clothing and appearance are very different from his ideal woman. He really didn't expect that he would have feelings for her. He treated her as his own person, his own person, and gave her the greatest trust. He could fight side by side and protect her, but he never thought of her as his woman. But her behavior after the body changed clearly told him that she "should" still be his woman.

It turned out that whenever his body changed, his mind was actually clear, and he could feel the black desire to destroy everything in his heart, and the worst and most harmful side of his nature that was stimulated and infinitely expanded by it, but he couldn't control himself. He knew that was also himself, not a second personality. It's like everyone has both good and dark natures, but when evil thoughts arise, most of the time we know that it's wrong and can suppress bad thoughts with reason. But now his situation is that the dark power in his body completely stimulates his negative emotions and expands infinitely, which is completely beyond the control of reason, so he becomes like before. At this time, he has merged the abilities of some mutant creatures, and his strength is much stronger than usual, but at the same time, he is also much more dangerous. If he hadn't been able to barely maintain his reason and not attack his own people, I'm afraid there would be a big disaster. This is also one of the reasons why he suddenly left the team. The only thing to be thankful for is that his mutation is not stable at the moment. As long as he tries to control his emotions and not get too excited, he may be able to hold on for a while. He

touched the hand holding the coat through the gloves, which was like a beast's claw and could no longer return to normal, and then touched his face. He lowered his eyes and strode into the repair shop.

"Are you back?" Uncle Chen and Xie Qiusheng were alert. They were not surprised to see him come back. They poked their heads out of the dark and greeted him.

Song Yan nodded to them without stopping.

"It seems to be back to normal." Xie Qiusheng looked at his back and murmured, and he and Uncle Chen smiled bitterly. This Song Yan really gave them a headache.

Ke Changfeng's painful wail came from inside, which made people shudder. You have to know that they are all people with extremely strong wills who have undergone special training. Even he couldn't bear to scream, so you can imagine how painful it was. Although they have seen many deaths, it still makes people feel uncomfortable when this happens to their friends.

"Changfeng, Changfeng...Hold on, we still have a drink together."

"Yes, Changfeng, think about your brother, maybe he is still waiting for you to save him somewhere."

"Lao Ke, we are still single, are you willing to die like this? Come on, brother, after we get through this, we will find a beautiful sister to be his wife, give birth to ten or eight children for him, and make a contribution to the development of mankind."

Except for the one in charge of vigilance, the others surrounded Ke Changfeng, holding him down to prevent him from hurting himself, and encouraging him one by one, hoping that he could hold on. No one knew if this would work, but even if there was only a little hope, they would not give up.

Li Muran sat by the fire holding Wu Lan, watching helplessly.

"Why do you care what he does? Isn't that scumbag hurting us enough?" Qin Zurong was scolding Wu Qing. Among all the people present, he should be the one who hated Wu Zong the most. Ever since he saw Song Yan bring Yuan Jinshu back, he had a gloomy face. If he hadn't had a say, he would have killed Yuan Jinshu from the beginning.

Wu Qing scratched the back of his head and laughed, without refuting or defending. He was good at observing people's expressions, and at this time, he would never say that he felt that the other party was quite pitiful. After muttering for a while, there was no response. Qin Zurong felt bored and stopped, but dark thoughts could not be suppressed in his heart. He hoped that Ke Changfeng would not be able to survive this level, and then Yuan Jinshu would not be able to survive. Not only would he not be able to survive, he would probably have to suffer torture.

However, he was destined to be disappointed. In the wailing, the zombie transformation of Ke Changfeng's body really stopped slowly. Although it did not return to normal immediately, it still gave hope to everyone.

Li Muran was the first to find Song Yan coming in. She was surprised and was about to stand up, but suddenly remembered his cold eyes in the car. She trembled in her heart and froze in place.

Song Yan glanced at her, said nothing, just threw the coat in his hand to her, and then walked towards Ke Changfeng.

"How is he?"

He Ru'an and the others turned around and saw that it was him. They were all stunned. They did not answer immediately, but looked at his expression carefully to make sure that he was still normal at the moment, and then said: "It is temporarily stable..." There was no more words after that. Perhaps the more hope he saw, the more uneasy he became. He was afraid that saying one more word would blow away the luck that was like a gossamer. It would be better to wait in silence. After

getting a not-so-bad answer, Song Yan stood for a moment and turned away, went to find rice and flour to rinse the pot, and prepared to make something to eat. His alienation would consume a lot of energy, and he was already hungry at this time.

Seeing this, Li Muran hesitated, wrapped Wu Lan with the coat that he got inexplicably, and then stood up to help.

Song Yan showed a subtle smile at the corner of his lips, and he knew that this girl was timid but broad-minded, and was easily soft-hearted.

"You did a good job." He suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Li Muran was a little surprised, not knowing what he was talking about.

"You were right to stop me at first, and you should do the same in the future." Song Yan explained and added.

Li Muran blinked, a little uncertain, "But..." You said it wouldn't happen again?

Li Muran didn't think that what Song Yan said now could represent him when he was alienated. What if she really believed it and meddled in other people's business, and he broke her neck, who would she cry to?

As if knowing her concerns, Song Yan turned his head slightly and looked at her gently, and said softly: "Don't worry."

Li Muran felt that his eyes were a little strange, and her face suddenly turned red for some reason. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it at this time, so she had to lower her head and do her own thing.

This guy is really thin-skinned, and he hasn't done anything yet! Song Yan sighed, but didn't continue to embarrass her, and fell silent.

After eating, Song Yan went to bed again. But this time he didn't sleep as deeply as before, and woke up again when he heard the noise beside his ears. It turned out that Ke Changfeng had passed the danger. Others were happy for him, and at the same time, they had a dispute over how to deal with Yuan Jinshu. The noise was not loud, and they tried to keep it down. After all, no one wanted to attract zombies or other things. It was just that his hearing was infinitely magnified in his silent sleep, so he felt noisy.

Some people felt that Yuan Jinshu was no longer needed now, and keeping him was a disaster, so he should be killed immediately. Those who supported this included Qin Zurong, He Ruan and others, but another group of people felt that Yuan Jinshu had the ability to stop the alienation of zombies, and it would be a pity to kill him. Keeping him could save more people. Those who held this view were Ye Jian, Xie Qiusheng and others. As for Li Muran, Uncle Chen and the two children of the Wu family, they did not participate. They did not think they had a say in such matters. If Qin Zurong did not hate Wu Zong's people, he would not have said anything.

"Keep it." After figuring out what they were arguing about, Song Yan spoke up, and at the same time, his gold-type supernatural power was released, and a pair of metal cuffs suddenly appeared on Yuan Jinshu's wrists. At the same time, he said lightly: "Break his legs once every once in a while." This was considered a final decision.

Since he had spoken, He Ru'an and others did not say anything more. Qin Zurong was dissatisfied, but he knew that he had to rely on them now, so he could only shut up angrily.

Yuan Jinshu sat in the corner and listened to them decide his fate. Even when he heard that his newly connected legs would be broken again every once in a while, he did not show a look of fear and resentment, but just laughed, as if it had nothing to do with him. At this point

, the trouble was finally solved. As for what Wuzong would react to, they were now far away from the capital, so naturally they could not care so much. If the other party sent people to catch up because of Yuan Jinshu, as long as they reunited with the convoy as soon as possible, what would they be afraid of? They could kill them with guns alone. They did not believe that Wuzong's people were so perverted that they could not be knocked down by bullets and bombs, let alone the extremely perverted Song Yan.

The following days went very smoothly. It took five or six days to find a new car, modify it, collect supplies, and then set off again. They also met several groups of survivors along the way. Although they were on guard against each other, there was no conflict. Wu Zong's people did not catch up. Yuan Jinshu seemed to have been forgotten by his sect, and he did not seem to care. Because he had suffered a great loss at his hands, almost no one in the team looked at him well. Qin Zurong insulted and beat him whenever he found an opportunity, as if he wanted to vent his anger. Only Wu Qing felt sorry for him and took care of him from time to time. At this point, everyone turned a blind eye and did not stop him. The end of the world wipes out human nature. If there is still good thoughts in your heart, it is better than seeing darkness in your eyes. If the farmer and the snake really happened, it would be a lesson for growth. With them watching, nothing big would happen.

Groups of zombies, gorgeous mutant plants, and ferocious mutant animals have become common sights in the world. With Li Muran's reconnaissance ability of up to 20 kilometers, the group can go around them as much as possible and try not to fight them head-on. Occasionally, if they can't go around, they can get through with their strength. Although it's not easy, it feels much more secure than when they were chased by Yuan Jinshu. Fortunately, until they arrived in Beichen, they didn't encounter a single mutant zombie. From this, it can be inferred that although mutant zombies have appeared, their number is probably very rare. This made everyone who knew about the existence of mutant zombies feel a little relieved. The world is difficult now. If mutant zombies appear in groups again, how can humans survive?

Chapter 213 Arrival at Beichen

When arriving at the ground of Beichen City, Li Muran was so excited that she almost cried. Finally I can see Yangyang and the others! In fact, they have been separated for only two months, but she feels like more than ten or twenty years. Too many things have happened during this period of time, and she even lost her life-saving ability. No wonder she feels this way.

After such a long time, the zombies that were originally intercepted outside the valley have dispersed. There are only a few hundred zombies on the dozens of kilometers of highway and the road leading to Ge Lao Township. They did not gather in groups, but were sparsely distributed. Even though some zombies were attracted from behind when the car passed by, they could not cause trouble to the group.

However, when they saw the ice and earth wall blocking the valley and the huge deep pit in front of it with many living zombies hidden, they couldn't help but curse. Damn, how can we get through this!

"There's no way to fill this up. Once the soil goes down, the zombies inside will have to climb up. That's fine, but it's such a big pit, it will take me three to five days to fill it up by myself." Uncle Chen smacked his lips and said. He was the only earth-type ability user in the team. If he wanted to push the wall to fill the pit, he would naturally be the first to step forward.

"Go up the mountain, I'll open the way." Xie Qiusheng said. He has a wood-type ability, so it's still possible to open a path through the mutant forest. The slopes on both sides are not very high, but they are occupied by mutant plants. Although it is dangerous to pass through them, it will definitely not take a day, which is better than waiting here for a few days. After all, it is the end of the world now, and no one knows what will run out in the next moment. One more day of delay will increase the danger. It is better to reunite with the team as soon as possible to feel at ease.

Everyone knew this, so no one objected, but the car could not drive over, so in order not to waste time, Yuan Jinshu, who had a broken leg, and Qin Zurong, who had half of his body useless, needed to be carried by someone. Qin Zurong was still okay, but Yuan Jinshu was hated by everyone, and no one was willing to take him. In the end, Ke Changfeng carried him on his back.

"Follow me." Song Yan said to Li Muran. His sleepiness had greatly decreased, but his personality would change from time to time, and he would be bloodthirsty, evil, and highly aggressive. Fortunately, he could still barely control himself and not attack his own people. Whenever this happened, the zombies and mutants along the way would suffer. Regardless of whether his personality changed or not, he took care of Li Muran as always.

Li Muran's domain ability had not been restored until now. Apart from being able to conduct reconnaissance, his ability to save his life was only slightly better than that of the two children, so when he heard his words, he stood behind him without hesitation. In fact, not only her, but also Wu Qing and Wu Lan, Ke Changfeng and Uncle Chen who were carrying Yuan Jinshu and Qin Zurong were surrounded in the middle. Everyone abandoned the car, and Xie Qiusheng led the way in front, slowly and steadily climbing up the hill next to him.

The hillside is dominated by mutant thorn vines and bone-burning wood. The mutant thorn vines are only as thick as fingers, covered with fine thorns and ice-blue leaves, very delicate, and are not worth mentioning compared to the huge and towering plants in the apocalypse. Instead, they are more like species before the apocalypse, but their flexibility is comparable to lightning. Once a creature approaches within ten meters, it will quickly bounce up and wrap around, and at the same time produce countless smaller tendrils, piercing into the mouth, nose, and ear holes of people, and directly into the brain. The attack power is more terrifying than many seemingly ferocious mutant plants. The bone-burning wood looks like an old willow, but it has no skin and leaves, and is white like a dead bone. On the hanging branches, there are tumors the size of a baby's fist. Once they are absorbed, the flesh and blood will soon melt and become a skeleton. These two mutant plants are not easy to deal with. After all, the branches and vines of the two are intertwined and connected to each other. It is not so easy to clear a path. If you are not careful, you may be hit. Therefore, the wood-related ability is particularly important at this time.

Under Xie Qiusheng's control, the entangled thorn vines retreated, revealing a gap between the bone-burning wood. Xie Qiusheng could control plants within a range of ten meters at a time. Of course, this was also related to the level of the plants. The higher the level of the mutant plants, the harder it was to control. The two types in front of him were not too difficult for him. He just reminded everyone not to touch them when passing by, and not to be scratched by rocks and bleed. Once the mutant plants smelled blood, it would be difficult to control them.

Walking silently, time passed quickly. Seeing that the sky was about to fall, there were still hills and countless mutant plants in front of them. Everyone couldn't help but feel a little worried and regretful. It was already afternoon when they arrived at the mouth of the valley. The day was short at this time. It would be dark in two or three hours. They should wait until the next morning before setting off. After all, walking in the mutant plant jungle late at night was not a good choice.

"We are almost there. Go over the hill in front and go down to the road." Li Muran couldn't help but use his mental power to explore the situation ahead and said. Unexpectedly, this distraction, coupled with the dim light, caused her to step on a loose rock, slip, and roll into the mutant thorn vines below, causing several exclamations. The people behind her couldn't hold her back even with their hands. Before

Xie Qiusheng, who was walking in the front, could react, Song Yan had already jumped down and tore off the thorn vines that were wrapped around her body and were about to drill into her nose and ears. His movements were so easy that it seemed like they were ordinary vines.

"You are so stupid!" He cursed with a dark face, and checked her body very rudely. He found that except for a few scratches on her face, she had no other injuries. It should be because she was wearing enough clothes. So he was relieved and lifted her up on his back without saying anything. He moved too fast,

and Li Muran didn't even have time to react to her fall. After being startled, she was embarrassed and struggled to get down: "Director, I can walk by myself, I will be careful..." She was not a little girl, and she didn't really fall and hurt, so how could she have the nerve to let someone carry her.

"Shut up! Otherwise I'll let you warm the bed tonight!" Song Yan shouted coldly, with a hint of violence in his tone, but his words were speechless.

Li Muran's face suddenly flushed red, and when she noticed that there were traces of black scales on the left side of his ear and face, she knew that this person had changed again. The best thing to do at this time is to shut up, otherwise it will be even more embarrassing for her. But being carried like this in front of everyone, it's really... so embarrassing! There

were more than one person laughing from behind, and then Ye Jian said, "Muran, what are you afraid of? If Song Er wants to carry you, let him carry you. Are you so distressed that you can't bear to crush him?" After getting along for nearly two months, they are already very familiar with each other. In addition to their gratitude to Li Muran, the good and bad talkers in the team have become closer to her, and occasionally they will joke with her like this.

Li Muran was embarrassed to death, but it was difficult to answer this question, so he could only lower his head, almost burying it in Song Yan's back, and his face was so hot that he could fry an egg. She couldn't get angry. Some things might not be clear at the time, but they would slowly come to her senses after a while. That day, when Yuan Jinshu's sword stabbed at her, she clearly saw Song Yan's body shaking, but then stopped, and then his arm was cut off. Everything happened too fast, and she didn't care at first. Later, she realized that if he had dodged at that time, she would have suffered. He blocked a disaster for her. Moreover, they failed to plot against Yuan Jinshu later, and he caught up with her. She almost died at his hands. If Song Yan hadn't woken up in time to block that claw, she would probably have been buried with the soil now. Whether before or after the mutation, he had nothing to say to her, especially after the mutation. Although he always said some unpleasant words, he didn't do anything too excessive. Even just now, if it wasn't for him, she would have lost a layer of skin even if she didn't die. She is not ungrateful, how could she be angry about this?

It's embarrassing, she endured it! Finally, Li Muran gritted his teeth, hardened his head, and tried to look calm with a face that was about to smoke.

Fortunately, they walked out of the mutant forest soon and saw the road at the foot of the mountain.

And just as they stepped onto the road, in the temporary camp of Gelao Township more than 20 kilometers away, the eyes of the sick ghost who was resting against the wall suddenly opened.

"They are back!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence in the room, and then cheers rang out. Soon the cheers spread to the street and finally resounded throughout the camp. Then there was the sound of cars starting, and several military off-road vehicles roared out of the camp and headed in the direction where Song Yan and the others came from.

"Beep, let's go pick up auntie!" In the chaos, a small figure ran out of the house quickly and climbed onto the back of a black mutant insect that was bigger than a calf.

By the time Fu Dan and the others caught up, the mutant insect had already flown into the air with the child on its back. It wasn't very high, but it was extremely fast. It caught up with the car in front like lightning, and then left it far behind, causing a lot of angry and funny scolding, as well as worried shouts.

Flying in the air saved a lot of detours, and soon Zhang Ruiyang saw a group of people rushing on the winding road. He had good eyesight and spotted Li Muran in the crowd from a distance. He couldn't help but wave his hands happily: "Auntie! Auntie Muran!"

The first person to hear the shout was Song Yan, or rather, the moment Dudu appeared in his sight, he raised his head and looked over with sharp eyes, with a strong smell of blood and a hint of inexplicable excitement.

Li Muran heard it later. When she saw what was happening, she was not surprised, but she was almost scared to death: "Yangyang, don't move..."

Unexpectedly, before she finished her words, Dudu, who was almost flying close, seemed to have seen something extremely scary. He let out a rare scream, turned around and ran away, faster than when he came, as if a ghost was chasing him. He disappeared in the blink of an eye.

This scene was beyond everyone's expectations. Li Muran still had her mouth open and was stunned. It was not until she took a sip of cold air that she reacted and ran after him in a hurry. Unfortunately, even a car could not outrun Dudu, let alone a person. He could not even touch his shadow.

Song Yan's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he murmured, "It's smart." Then he followed slowly.

The others looked at each other in bewilderment, apparently not expecting such a special welcome ceremony. Nannan lay in Uncle Chen's arms, uttered a cry, clasped her hands together, looked up, and stared with eyes wide open, looking confused, as if she didn't understand what was flying in the sky, or why her little brother could fly in the sky. As for Wu Qing, his eyes were full of envy, and at the same time he was vaguely relieved. There were children here too, so he and his sister shouldn't have a hard time.

Chapter 214: The Escaped Dudu

It wasn't long before the car that came to greet them arrived. Without time to reminisce, the group got on the car and quickly turned around to chase in the direction where Dudu disappeared. After all, no one could guarantee that the unreliable bug would not abandon Yangyang halfway.

"Dudu should be back to the camp." The people who came to pick them up were neither Xiao Sheng nor Long Xia, but a few people who looked unfamiliar to Li Muran. She was just beginning to have doubts when she heard the man sitting in the passenger seat say, "Brother Sheng and Miss Long Xia took people to clear the road to Yunzhou. The zombies nearby have been almost cleared, so there are not many people left in the camp."

It turned out that during the time when Li Muran and the others were away, the people in the convoy were not idle either. They cleared all the dangers around them, and then took turns to send people out to explore and clear the road, contact the survivors in the surrounding area, and prepare to draw a map of the survivor community and the distribution of residual supplies from Dongzhou to Yunzhou, understand the situation, and prepare to establish a base in the future.

"Our people have already reached Dihe and set up a temporary camp there. Miss Longxia and her men are stationed there to protect this section of the road, while Brother Sheng is continuing to open up the road to Longfu. They are expected to arrive soon."

Listening to the movements of the convoy during this period, Li Muran's mental power extended outward, always following the Dudu carrying Yangyang, until he was sure that it was indeed heading towards the camp, he was slightly relieved, but he did not relax and continued to pay close attention.

Song Yan leaned back on the back of the seat with his eyes closed, not knowing whether he had heard it or not, until the driver talked about the mutant zombie that attacked the camp and killed many people, and was finally captured by the sick ghost, he hummed and opened his eyes.

Li Muran was slightly startled, turned his head and took a look, and noticed that the scale-shaped pattern behind his ear on the left side of his face had gradually faded, secretly sighed, and continued to stare at Dudu.

"Dudu, Auntie is over there, why are you running here?" Zhang Ruiyang was also frightened by Dudu's sudden escape. He didn't react until he flew a long way. He anxiously patted Dudu's back with his little hands, trying to ask it to turn around.

Dudu just ran away, ignoring the insignificant pats to it. Its little heart is still trembling now, and it's impossible to ask it to go back.

"Dudu! You don't listen!" Zhang Ruiyang sighed and complained, lying on the back of the big insect in frustration, watching Dudu take him back to the camp. What frightened him even more was that when Dudu flew over the camp, he didn't even stop, but went straight through and continued to escape. When the people in the camp reacted, they only saw a black shadow disappearing outside the rocky mountain bend that was tightly sandwiched between the only road in Gelao Township, and they couldn't catch up.

Hearing the screams and chasing sounds of the children waiting outside, the sick ghost walked out of the house, squinted his eyes for a moment, and finally said nothing. His body was still the same, sick and crooked, as if he could fall down with a gust of wind, but it was much better than the days when Zhang Ruiyang was watching him take medicine.

"Oh no!" Li Muran suddenly sat up straight, his face changed color.

"What's the matter?" Song Yan, who had been silently listening to his subordinates' reports, spoke for the first time, looking at her with concern.

"Dudu flew out of the camp." Li Muran was so anxious that sweat broke out on the tip of her nose. She was afraid that Yangyang had been lost by Dudu again when she just came back. Accidents again and again have made her like a frightened bird.

"No way, Dudu always only takes Yangyang to play in the camp, and never goes outside. Today, he flew out only after you came back." The man in the passenger seat said hesitantly. It was obvious that he didn't know Li Muran very well, and it was inevitable that he would have some doubts, but because of the other party's identity, he didn't show it too obviously.

Song Yan glanced at him, without explaining, and just ordered: "Drive faster!" Then he turned around to comfort Li Muran: "Don't worry, there are so many of us, we can find the person back." In fact, he said this with a guilty conscience, otherwise he would never say comforting words with his personality. It turned out that when Dudu appeared, he was still in alienation, and he could clearly feel that he or the mutant creature that alienated him should be the natural enemy of the little bug. He had a feeling that as long as he was there, it would be almost impossible to get the ghost spirit to come back obediently.

But Li Muran didn't know. Li Muran trusted him very much, and he couldn't help showing a grateful look in his eyes when he heard it. The experience she had had made her always remember that no matter what the relationship was, if others were willing to help you, it was a favor, and if they were unwilling to help, it was their duty, so even if the two of them went through life and death together, she would not take it for granted that Song Yan should do anything for her.

Song Yan touched his nose awkwardly, looking forward, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, worried that if the person really couldn't be found, the girl would be heartbroken. And Yangyang, that little guy, if something happens to him because of him, he will not forgive himself. As for Dudu, it's better not to be caught by him, otherwise he can't kill it!

The car sped up all the way and soon arrived at Gelao Township. At this time, Dudu had completely disappeared from Li Muran's perception. After entering the camp, the car that Song Yan was in did not stop for long, and directly whizzed through the road that runs through the whole township and chased forward. The rest of the people stayed and were received and arranged by the people in the camp. It was

not until midnight that Song Yan and his friends turned back. Seeing Li Muran's depressed mood, they knew that they had not found anyone. Fu Dan and the other two, who had been holding back their sleepiness and waiting eagerly, saw that the joy of reunion had faded before it could rise.

"Sister Muran..." They shouted, and seeing Li Muran's tired and anxious look, the three words "Where is Yangyang" were swallowed. Finally, they suddenly turned around and rushed into the house and ran to the sick ghost.

"Uncle Bing, please help us find Yangyang. He is still so young, he must be scared." Fu Dan begged. After more than two months of getting along, they were not only full of awe for Binggui, but also more dependent on him. It seemed that as long as he was around, nothing could not be solved. They firmly believed this.

Binggui was leaning on a rattan chair, his eyes closed, his feet on the footrest, slowly rocking back and forth, making a creaking sound, and he didn't seem to care about the lost child at all.

"He went far away and can't be found." Hearing the request, he didn't even open his eyes and said lightly.

It seemed that only the three children and Li Muran believed his words, because they had witnessed his accurate prediction ability more than once. When they heard the words, their faces became panic and gray, and they were unwilling. Song Yan frowned, turned around to arrange the remaining people in the camp to continue searching for Zhang Ruiyang and Dudu, and at the same time sent people to the front road overnight to inform Xiao Sheng and Long Xia, and let them search separately.

"Sick brother..." Li Muran had been traveling all day and looking for someone for most of the night. She was exhausted physically and mentally. She shouted in a hoarse voice, wanting to say something but stopping herself, with a hint of pleading.

The sick ghost exclaimed, opened his eyes and looked her up and down, and a rare smile appeared on his face: "Not bad, your superpowers have improved." Then he looked at Song Yan who was standing at the door assigning things, and a hint of understanding appeared in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Improved? Li Muran froze for a moment, and then she remembered that she couldn't use her superpowers. She thought the other party was speaking sarcastically. She felt guilty and knew that she couldn't explain this matter, so she looked a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry, the beast Dudu will definitely return to find his master in fear. Yangyang will go there safely, without any harm and with joy." Perhaps in a good mood, the sick ghost couldn't help but say a few more words, and then closed his eyes and ignored everyone.

The room returned to silence, with only the creaking sound of the old chair shaking. After Song Yan finished arranging things at the door, he looked back and saw Li Muran looking respectful and nervous in front of the sick ghost, and he felt unhappy.

"Muran, come here."

Li Muran was thinking about the sick ghost's uncivilized words. Hearing the call, he subconsciously walked over, "Director?"

"I have asked someone to find him. Go to sleep for a while. When you wake up, there should be news back." Song Yan suppressed his displeasure and said in a deep voice.

Li Muran shook her head. How could she sleep after such a thing happened? But she didn't want anyone to worry about her, so she forced a smile and said, "Bing Ge said that Dudu went back to find its owner. Dudu was hatched by Shao Ge, so its owner should be Shao Ge..." If Yang Yang could find Yi Ge and Shao Ge, it would be a good thing, but before that, what would the little guy do? Could he find food? Would he be cold? What if he encountered mutants and zombies? What if he encountered someone with bad intentions... She didn't dare to think about it any further.

Song Yan frowned even more. He didn't believe the words of the sick ghost at all. He thought that the other party was talking nonsense, but he didn't want to ruin Li Muran's idea, so he just reached out and patted her shoulder. "Nan Shao and the others are in Zhongzhou. I have sent someone to greet Xiao Sheng and the others in front and let them follow to look for it. The little guy is smart and will be fine." He thought of the dirty little ghost hanging on his arm and refused to take a bath. He couldn't help but feel sorry. Even if it wasn't for Li Muran, he would do his best to find the person back.

And just when the whole team was mobilized to search overnight, on a mountain range hundreds of kilometers away from Gelao Township, a child and a mutant insect as big as a calf were huddled in a soil cave halfway up the mountain, helplessly looking at the dark forest and the flying snow.

"Dudu, I seem to be a little scared. Are you afraid?" Zhang Ruiyang asked in a low voice. This soil cave was dug by Dudu. The exit is low and the inside is high. The wind and snow can't get in, so it's not too cold. But in this desolate mountain and wilderness, not to mention a child, even an adult would probably feel scared.

Dudu touched Zhang Ruiyang with his tentacles, as if to comfort him.

"Dudu, why don't we go back?" Zhang Ruiyang stretched out his hands to hold Dudu's big head, yawned, and asked sleepily.

"Dudu, Aunt Muran is back. You know Aunt Muran. She is very... very good. Don't be afraid of her. I miss Aunt Muran so much... Let's go back. If we don't see each other, Aunt Muran... and Brother A'dan will be worried." The child was still trying to persuade his friends to return to the camp, but he yawned repeatedly, making his words intermittent and not so clear. It was already midnight, long past his bedtime.

Dudu moved his huge body and turned his butt towards the child to show his refusal.

"Dudu, I'm so hungry." Zhang Ruiyang didn't feel disappointed. He touched his stomach with his little hand, his eyes were almost unable to open, and he spoke incoherently.

Dudu's tentacles moved, and then he slowly turned around, crawled out of the cave, spread his wings, and disappeared into the darkness in a blink of an eye. Zhang Ruiyang had already curled up on the ground and fell asleep, and he didn't notice it.

Chapter 215 The Sorrow of Losing a Friend

A fierce fight in the snowy night began silently and ended silently. The black mutant insect carried a mutant plant root as thick as an adult's thigh through the wind and snow back to the earth cave, kicking the sleeping child awake.

"Dad..." Zhang Ruiyang rubbed his eyes and sat up in a daze. He seemed to have forgotten that he was outside. He yawned and woke up slightly. "Dudu? Are we going back?"

Dudu pushed the thick plant root in front of him.

"What is it?" There was almost no light in the cave, and Zhang Ruiyang couldn't see clearly. He touched it with his little hand and felt that it was like a big ice block. He shivered and took his hand back and put it inside his clothes. "It's so cold!" Dudu

took a bite and pushed the plant root in front of the child again, indicating that he should eat it.

"Is it edible?" Zhang Ruiyang was completely awake at this time, and asked doubtfully: "Can it really be eaten?"

So Dudu took a few more bites and chewed it.

"Thank you." Zhang Ruiyang understood, leaned over and picked up the root tuber that was still at least ten pounds after being bitten by Dudu, and nibbled on the edge in the dark. Um, spit... there is sand.

"I think it's a little bit unpalatable." The child spit out the sand in his mouth, and the bitter and astringent taste made him frown and whisper. Even so, he still pulled his little eyebrows and ate until he was full before stopping. He is not picky, especially after experiencing the taste of hunger more than once.

Dudu moved his huge body to block the entrance of the earth cave, blocking most of the cold and danger, allowing the little guy to sleep peacefully.

After more than ten days of searching, they found nothing, and Dudu showed no sign of returning. Li Muran and his team had to leave Gelao Township and head to Dihe to meet up with the rest of the team, rushing to Yunzhou while looking for people along the way.

At about the same time, Zhang Yi, Routa Chen and others left the hotel with sadness and loneliness after searching for Nan Shao for nearly two months without success, and headed for Yunzhou.

Meng Zhan had already left with his team a month ago. In Meng Zhan's opinion, Nan Shao must be gone, and it would be a waste of time to continue waiting. He also had to take care of the thoughts and safety of his brothers, so he had to leave. However, before leaving, he thought of Nan Shao's feelings and tried to invite Zhang Yi and others to go with him, but was rejected. He had no choice but to leave two cars and tell the other party where they might go, which was considered a way out.

"A Shao, wait for me to come back." Zhang Yi took a last look at the dilapidated and half-ruined hotel, with deep pain and darkness in his black eyes, and then turned around resolutely and never looked back. He originally had only a few strands of silver hair on his temples, but now his hair was already white, but it became like this in the first month of Nan Shao's disappearance.

No one thought Nan Shao was still alive, except Zhang Yi. But for Yangyang, Zhang Yi couldn't wait any longer. He had to go find Yangyang. When he found Yangyang, he would come back, either with Yangyang or alone, waiting here, waiting for Nan Shao to appear. He knew that as long as Nan Shao was not dead, he would definitely come back here, because they had agreed.

The snow flakes fell, and it seemed that they would never stop. The fields that were eaten clean by flying ants two months ago were soon filled with colorful mutant plants. Even though it was hazy with heavy snow, there was still a sense of vitality. But no one liked this kind of vitality. Humans missed the dark gray winter before the end of the world when everything withered. Spring brings life, summer brings growth, autumn brings harvest, and winter brings storage. This is the normal law of the operation of heaven and earth. Now everything in the world violates this law, and human survival has become so difficult.

"I don't know if there will be a day when I can see the sun." Looking at the sky covered by heavy snow outside the car window, Routa Chen said with a feeling in his heart.

Nan Shao's disappearance was a big blow to them. Not to mention the feelings of mutual support, they had an extra layer of worries when facing zombies in the future, and there were also difficult mutant creatures. No one could pull them back when they were on the verge of life and death. Although they knew this when Nan Shao was here, they didn't feel it deeply. Now they know how lucky they are to have such a person in the team, and how much loss it is to lose him. But no matter what, they have to keep going. Maybe most of them will fall down halfway, and maybe one or two people will be lucky enough to see the light.

Everyone was in a bad mood, so no one responded to Routa Chen. The car stopped when passing through the tunnel. Several people got off the car and stood there for a long time before getting on the car again and leaving. They knew that this might be the burial place of Nan Shao, but they didn't want to extinguish the faint hope in Zhang Yi's heart, so they didn't say anything, but only silently paid tribute and said goodbye in their hearts.

Passing through the tunnel, they drove into the snow again. In this vast world, the two cars were as small as ants crawling on the snow, as if any gust of wind could overturn them.

From Meng Zhan's mouth, they learned that the Yunzhou base was built in a high-tech zone 20 kilometers away from the suburbs of Longren City, Yunzhou Province, about 300 kilometers away from their current location. The high-tech zone was established by officials for political achievements, but it was not good at attracting investment. It was almost abandoned before the end of the world and was very deserted. There were many vacant factories and office buildings, as well as flattened farmland and villages. The population was sparse. Unexpectedly, it became the best place for refuge after the end of the world.

The area within nearly 50 kilometers from the tunnel may have been swept by mutant flying ants. Although the mutant plants have grown again after two months, there are almost no traces of zombies and mutant animals. So on the first day, they didn't encounter any trouble except shoveling the snow. But from the second day, it was not so smooth.

With a silver light, another battle ended. Zhang Yi didn't even look at the result. He walked towards the car with the machete that was condensed with black blood. Behind him, a zombie fell to the ground with a bang. There was a knife mark on the zombie's head from the top of the head to the center of the eyebrows. It was cut very accurately, not a centimeter off the side, and not a centimeter beyond the yintang and Baihui.

"We are about to enter the city, everyone, be careful." Shi Pengsan, who was in charge of driving, said. Since Nan Shao disappeared, Zhang Yi has not spoken much. Meat Tower Chen, who likes to joke the most, has also become quiet. The atmosphere of the team is indescribably dull, which makes him, who usually doesn't like to talk, seem a little noisy.

Zhang Yi lowered his head and wiped the blood and brain tissue on the knife with a cloth bit by bit to avoid affecting the sharpness and service life of the knife.

Pei Yuan was in the same car with them. He was sitting in the co-pilot seat. Seeing that Zhang Yi didn't answer, he hurriedly responded loudly, and then sat upright, causing Shi Pengsan to look at him in surprise.

"Don't be so nervous."

Pei Yuan chuckled twice in embarrassment, touched his head, and stole a glance at Zhang Yi who was wiping the knife with his head down in the back seat. Seeing the white hair, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his mood became low again. He still clearly remembered the helpless shock and sadness when he watched Yi's hair turn white day by day during the initial days of looking for Shao Ge. Shao Ge disappeared, and Yi Ge, who had always been gentle, became taciturn, gloomy and indifferent, which made him feel that the atmosphere of the team suddenly became cold. Everyone was doing their own things silently, looking at each other, and smiling reluctantly. Sadness grew silently in their hearts. Even if it would be buried one day, it would never be erased. That was the sorrow imprinted on them by the end of the world, which could not be forgotten or succumbed to.

The wheels threw up the snow and drove into the small county town that was blocking the road like a turtle. This is the only way to Longren, but for some reason, the road is very bad, and the buildings are all gray, low and short, with no buildings higher than six floors. Normally, even if there are zombies in such a place, the number is limited, but after the car drove in for a distance, it was found that there were zombies blocking the road in front, and there were thousands of them. When they heard the sound of the car, some zombies rushed over with a roar, and they were so scared that they had to reverse and retreat to the outside of the city immediately.

"There shouldn't be so many zombies." After retreating to a safe enough distance, the six people gathered together, and Shi Pengsan frowned and said.

Because Meng Zhan and his men also came from this road, they didn't hear them mention this situation. Even if there were survivors passing by later and attracted a large number of zombies, they should have dispersed after a period of time. It's like this now, unless...

"Are there survivors trapped?" Xu Jing raised her eyebrows and guessed.

"Is there someone controlling the zombies again?" Pei Yuan thought of their experience in Xiaojie Village and said with lingering fear.

Being reminded of bad memories, Xu Jing's face flashed a trace of anger, and she said decisively: "Go and see and you will know. You wait here." She was about to leave.

"Hey, wait, I'll go, I'm fast." Routa Chen hurried over and stopped her.

"You?" Xu Jing looked up and down at his fat body with contempt, suddenly stretched out her hand and pressed on the chubby face in front of her, and pushed it to the side: "Stay here honestly." After that, she ran towards the city with a light and agile figure.

"Me? What's wrong with me?" Routa Chen scratched his head, pouted his lips and tried to imitate Xu Jing's voice in a soft voice, then snorted and said unhappily, "I'm not willing to go yet." Jie Chen

glanced at him, his eyes clear, as if he could see through his true feelings, but he only said "Amitabha". Shi Pengsan took out a pack of cigarettes, threw one to Zhang Yi, who leaned against the car with his hands in his pockets and said nothing, and then gave some to Routa Chen and Jie Chen, and finally took one and lit it himself.

Jie Chen pinched the cigarette and clasped it in his hand and said, "Brother Shi San, can I borrow a light?" Then he squatted on the side of the road and started smoking.

Pei Yuan stared at the little monk, speechless for a while. He was surprised when he saw Jie Chen smoking for the first time, but later he learned that this guy learned to smoke when he was twelve or thirteen years old from the boys who went to the mountains to chop wood. Later, he would occasionally save two yuan for incense oil and buy the cheapest cigarettes to smoke secretly. It is said that he has never been discovered by his master. Such a monk... Pei Yuan really didn't know what expression to use to face him.

Xu Jing came back soon, looking normal. It was obvious that the situation in the city was not beyond expectations. "It's a group of survivors trapped inside."

"There are too many zombies." Shi Pengsan was a little helpless. Whether they wanted to save people or not was secondary. There were thousands of zombies, and they were just a few people. How could they handle it? Not to mention killing them, they would be squeezed to death if they were blocked.

"Then how do we get through?" Pei Yuan said worriedly. Not to mention that they had to pass through the small county town in front of them to go to Longren. Even if they could take a detour, they were not familiar with this place and didn't know how to get around. What's more, there were many zombies blocking the road here. Are there no zombies in other places?

Just when everyone was thinking hard about a good plan, Zhang Yi flicked the cigarette butt in his hand, took out a machete, tightened the cloth belt on his hand, and said: "I will lead some zombies out. You get ready. If there are too many zombies, drive away immediately."

"I'll go with you." Shi Pengsan said.

"Brother Yi, I'll go too."

"And me."

Routa Chen and the others rushed to answer one after another. It was not because they were brave and fearless, but because they were worried about Zhang Yi. In the past few days, whenever he encountered zombies or mutants, he would go crazy and rush forward without caring about his life. It would be fine if there were few zombies, but there were so many now. What if he was still like that and got scratched if he wasn't careful?

"It's just to attract zombies, not to kill them. Why go with so many people? It's better to have enough energy. You'll be busy later." Zhang Yi glanced at them and said lightly, as if he didn't know what everyone was thinking. After speaking, he turned and left.

Although his steps were still steady and calm, his solitary back was shrouded in a deep loneliness and sadness, which made the few people watching sigh.

"I'll go and take a look. Be careful." Finally, Shi Pengsan moved his finger joints that were a little stiff due to the cold and said to the others. After all, I'm still worried if I don't watch. Now I can try my best to protect as many as possible.

Until Shi Pengsan's figure disappeared in the snow and fog, Routa Chen and his men jumped into the car and prepared to pick up the two.

The zombies were besieging a three-story department store. The zombies were blocking the front of the store and the road nearby. When Zhang Yi saw this scene, he couldn't help but think of the same scene when they were in the hotel in Ziyun County. It was just that Yangyang was there, Muran was there, and Nan Shao was there... Thinking of Nan Shao, he couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his heart, and his upright body hunched slightly. But in just a moment, he stood up again, and the sadness on his handsome face disappeared, replaced by a cold murderous intent.

Kill! He stretched his arm holding the knife slightly, and his footsteps quickened, and he rushed into the zombie group.

I knew it would be like this. Shi Pengsan, who was following behind, saw this and couldn't help but sigh. Metal spikes appeared on his hands and followed closely. After getting rid of several zombies that surrounded him, he stood back to back with Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi seemed to be unaware of his arrival. He chopped and chopped with the machete in his hand. It seemed clumsy, but it seemed to carry the power of wind and thunder. Every time he chopped, a zombie fell down. Each zombie that fell had only one scar, from the top of the head to the brow. He did not defend at all. He was like a lone wolf who had lost his mind. He rushed into the zombie group, which gave Shi Pengsan a headache. He cursed him as a madman, but had to use all his strength to keep up with his pace and block the danger behind and on both sides for him. After a while, he found that it seemed that... it seemed that no zombie could get within his arm's range.

"Let's go." Just when Shi Pengsan, who had an awakened physique, could not bear it, Zhang Yi, who had been killing silently, uttered a word softly, and then took the lead to retreat outside the city.

It was finally over. Shi Pengsan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, kicked away the zombie hanging on the metal spike on his right hand, and jogged after it.

Behind them was a ground of zombie corpses and a group of zombies chasing them out.

Chapter 216 People in the Mall

"Look, over there!" Someone shouted on the roof of the department store. Four or five figures gathered and stood on top of it, looking at a road near the mall. There was a commotion among the dense zombies there. Two people could be vaguely seen fighting inside. It was like a drop of cold water dropped into boiling oil, and the whole zombie group was boiling.

"It seems to be two people."

"Why would someone rush into the pile of zombies?"

"Could it be that the people in the cave came to rescue us?"

"Impossible. How did we end up like this? Have you forgotten?"

After watching for a while, several people couldn't help but gasp.

"Did you see it? They didn't use superpowers. Those two guys didn't use superpowers? They killed all the zombies and couldn't get close to them... How perverted are they!"

"Should we go to help?"

"Let's wait and see."

The glass doors and windows on the first and second floors of the department store were sealed with wooden boards, steel bars and other things. More than 20 people lived on the third floor. Although their clothes looked brand new, their faces were really not good. Anyone who is surrounded by thousands of zombies and waiting to die would look unhappy. As for the clothes, they were changed after entering this place, and the original ones were no longer wearable.

Hearing that someone appeared, they gathered together, unable to hide their excitement. There were twenty-seven people, none of whom were women or elderly, but not all of them were middle-aged men, and there were also a few young men who looked thin and handsome.

"I don't know if they are passing by or coming to the county to find supplies." They pondered and speculated, "Maybe this is our one chance, we must think of a way." It may be the only time, because they have been trapped here for more than a month.

"What can we think of? There are only two of them. Only a fool would plunge into the zombie tide to save irrelevant people." There are many people who hold this opinion, even the person who proposed to find a way, because there is no room for compassion to survive in the place where they were before.

"But if we miss this opportunity, we don't know when the next person will pass by." The person who first proposed it said, and at the end, he added: "There is not much food left." This county town is a must-pass place for people traveling from the south to the north. Before they arrived, they didn't know how many survivors had passed by, and the supplies had naturally been looted. They were able to hold on for so long, relying on the food they collected from farmers along the way.

"But what can two people do?" Someone hesitated, thinking that even if there were awakened people with several types of superpowers, if there were only two people, they would not be able to splash even a wave if they fell into the zombie group below.

"I can't care about so much, let's first try to see if we can get them to help us lead the zombies away." Although the people who defected from the cave still had a conscience, they were not so pure and kind. When it came to their own life and death, they didn't mind sacrificing others.

"What do you mean by leading? Everyone is gone." The man who had been observing the situation outside suddenly spoke in a bad mood, obviously very disappointed.

The people who were discussing fiercely stopped talking, looked at each other, and saw the regret in each other's eyes. It was superfluous to say anything now. No matter who escaped from the zombies, they would not come back. It seemed that they had to find another way to leave here.

However, what surprised and excited everyone in the mall was that the two fierce men came again the next day. They had also tried to attract the other party's attention, but no matter whether they shouted or said anything, the two men ignored them, which made the zombies even more irritable and almost smashed the mall door. In the end, even if they were unwilling to give up, they dared not make any more noise. At least in this way, the other party would lead some zombies away and relieve them a little pressure.

On the third day, the fourth day... In the next half a month, the two men appeared, but sometimes they came every day, and sometimes they were separated by two or three days. Every time they came, they would take away some zombies, and those zombies never came back. No matter what the two men's purpose was, they knew they were saved when they saw the zombies outside the mall decreasing day by day.

On the last day, when there were not many zombies left, not only the two men appeared, but also two cars. The people in the mall opened the door, rushed out, and followed to kill the remaining zombies. Of course, they could continue to play dumb, but after being trapped here for nearly two months, the group of men had already gone crazy, and they just took this opportunity to vent. In addition, they were ready to leave this place. If they could get in touch with the people in the two cars and go together, it would be great. After all, those people didn't seem to be superpowers, but they were more powerful than each other when killing zombies. In this way, if they temporarily teamed up with them, they would not have to worry about being suppressed by the other party, and they would have a strong help.

"Hey, buddy, you are a group of big men, and you are not superpowers, how could you be trapped here?" Fortunately, not everyone in the six-man team was as cold and unapproachable as the two who came before. At least the fat man who spoke looked quite open.

The leader was about to answer when he heard the boy in the other team hesitantly shout: "Captain Chang?"

The man looked at the boy carefully, but couldn't remember where he had seen him before. He was a little embarrassed. Just as he was about to say something, his eyes suddenly swept to another familiar face.

"Shi San!" He finally knew where they came from.

It turned out that his name was Chang Han, and he had thunder-related abilities. He had stayed in Wangyang Town. He was one of the team leaders when the town organized people to attack Ziyun County. Later, he was trapped in a residential area with Qiao Yong, Xiong Hua, Li Changze, and Liu Xia. When it rained heavily, Qiao Yong and his team left, but he and Li Changze stayed. Shi Pengsan had a good relationship with Qiao Yong, and he was also a powerful person, so of course he knew him. It was just that he had never noticed it before, and he had never thought about it, so he didn't recognize it.

It was really a happy thing to see a familiar face in the end times, even if you were not so familiar with each other before, or even knew each other. But everyone came from the same place and had killed zombies together. Just based on this, even if there was a little grudge, meeting again in a strange place would give rise to some closeness. After all, after so long, there were not many people who could survive. Therefore, even the always cold and hard Shi Pengsan's expression eased a lot, and he nodded to the other party. Pei Yuan was even more excited, because he was in Chang Han's group during the attack on the county town, although Chang Han didn't remember him. Only Zhang Yi, after carefully searching the crowd on the opposite side with his eyes, did not find the face he wanted to see, and silently lowered his eyes.

It was dark at this time, and it was not realistic to leave the county town, so everyone decided to stay here for the night, but just changed the place. The mall was really a nightmare for Chang Han and others. In addition, they ate, drank, defecated and urinated in it for nearly two months. It was so stinky that no one could stay.

"Why are you here? Where are the others?" After finding a place to spend the night, the teenagers in Chang Han's team took the initiative to make dinner, and the others sat together and talked about their respective situations after they parted.

"Li Changze is dead, Wei Zhonghua is dead, everyone is dead, and I am the only one who escaped." Hearing Routa Chen's question, Chang Han smiled bitterly. He was so smart that he wanted Qiao Yong and his team to explore the way first and then make plans. Who knew that the community was flooded due to heavy rain, and many zombies floated over. Zombies will not die even if they are drowned in water, but people cannot feel the situation under the water when wading. If they are bitten, it will be a lot of fun. So in the end, they did not leave until the heavy rain stopped and mutant plants appeared. In addition to parks and some green belts in the county, residential areas are also severely affected by the growth of mutant plants. The people they left behind were caught off guard, and nearly half of them died in their sleep, most of whom were unawakened. Later, under the double attack of mutant plants and zombies, only a few people escaped. Unexpectedly, they encountered mutant animals again. In the end, he was the only one who escaped, but he was also seriously injured and dying. Thanks to the strong physique and recovery ability of the superpower, he hid in a grocery store for a few days and finally saved his life.

After hearing his words, everyone except Xu Jing sighed. If Nan Shao hadn't had a premonition and Zhang Yi had made a decisive decision to leave the community, perhaps they would have died in Ziyun County long ago. Now recalling the scene at that time, it really feels like a dream. There are really few people left around them who came out together. Afterwards,

Chang Han asked about their experiences, where they came from, and where they were going. Because he couldn't figure out the nature of these people, Routa Chen only talked about their experiences in Bowei and the things that turned into ants later, but he intentionally or unintentionally ignored the Ronghe camp.

Hearing that they were looking for a five or six-year-old child, although Chang Han didn't think that the child was still there, he looked at Zhang Yi with a flash of surprise. The existence of the lame man with a child was too special, and he couldn't help but remember it. He didn't expect that this disabled man who hadn't awakened his superpowers could survive until now and become so powerful. The scene of Zhang Yi killing zombies left a deep impression on him. He was a thunder-type superpower and had good skills, but he thought he couldn't block the opponent's knife. Too fast! So fast and fierce, there was no way to stop it.

As for the white hair, it didn't seem like a big deal against the stunning skills. In this world, the dead can eat the living, and the living can awaken superpowers, so what's the big deal about white hair?

As they were talking, a teenager who was preparing dinner came over, put his hand on Chang Han's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Everyone is tired after a day, wash your hands and eat first."

Chang Han stretched out his hand and pinched his slender waist, then patted his perky butt, "Go, let them bring it up, and eat here."

The two people's movements were very natural, and the people with them did their own things, without even giving them a glance, as if this kind of thing was normal, but the subordinate relationship between the two, or the roles played by several teenagers in the other team, still made Routa Chen and others feel a little surprised. Although they didn't show it, Chang Han still smiled and explained: "There are few women now, and it's troublesome. It's better to find a good-looking boy."

Xu Jing snorted coldly. Chang Han was embarrassed and regretted his quick words. He apologized and said: "Of course, if all women are like you, Miss Xu, we stinky men would beg for nothing."

Xu Jing was still angry, but she didn't hold on. In fact, she knew in her heart that women are naturally weaker in physical strength, and there are annoying things like menstruation on time. If you accidentally get pregnant, it will be a huge burden at this time. Even if she hadn't undergone special training before the end of the world, she would probably have a hard time now. Unless humans, zombies and mutants reach a stable balance, or have a favorable living environment, and the protector is strong enough, it is the most stupid thing to rely on the body to seek temporary stability. But she believes that women who can survive to this day should not be too weak. Perhaps they can keep pace with men in terms of ability, or they are deep enough in their scheming. In short, everyone should have found a way of survival that suits them.

Chapter 217 The Alienated Nan Shao's

dinner was just boiled noodles with some hot pepper paste, nothing else. The taste was not important, but the quantity was enough to fill you up. No one was picky now, so they ate it happily.

"Eh? I say, Old Chang, you guys are not weak either, how come you are trapped here?" It was cold, and if you were delayed for a while, the hot food would become like ice, so Routa Chen waited until he finished eating before continuing the previous topic.

"Don't mention it, it makes me angry." Chang Sheng waved his hand, with anger on his face. But in the end, he still briefly explained the whole story.

They were in a place called Dongziying, about 30 kilometers away from here. It was a village with a stone wall. It was not big, and all the people in it were only about 500. But their strength was not weak, because they were almost all young and strong men, none of them were older than 45 years old, and none were younger than 13 years old, and none of them were disabled and had lost their combat effectiveness. There were women, but very few of them, and they could be counted on one hand. They were only the leaders, and there was also a group of young men who had not yet grown up and were not strong enough to fight. They were just to entertain themselves, but no matter what, they were also men, and they were physically stronger than most women.

If it were just that, Chang Sheng, who had been accustomed to the law of the jungle in the end times, would not feel anything. He even had a child with him. After all, being threatened by zombies and mutants for a long time, coupled with the influence of food and weather, people's spirits were always tense and depressed. In the absence of other entertainment and relaxation, violence and sex became the best way to vent. He was quite open-minded about this kind of thing. However, when he saw a newborn baby being strangled to death and turned into a pot of broth, at that moment, he realized that his conscience had not been completely worn away by the end of the world, and he realized that he still had a glimmer of hope for the future.

In the Dongzi camp, the boys were jealous and scheming against each other in order to rely on the strong in the team, but they dared not go out to face the zombies; women were afraid of getting pregnant. Once pregnant, if they did not find a way to abort as soon as possible, not only would their lives be miserable, but they would also not be able to keep the baby even if they barely made it to full term; the men were like male dogs in heat all day long, either fighting or pressing on a man or a woman. Depression, blood, and erosion, these were all things Changsheng could endure. What he could not endure was that such a strong team could not see any hope and future, and there was only a dead end in front of everyone. Fearing that he would become numb like others sooner or later and just muddle through, he finally chose to leave.

He had a high status in the camp and had hundreds of followers, but when he left, only the twenty or so people in front of him were willing to go with him. In the final analysis, it was because most people were unwilling to leave a relatively stable life. After all, no one could guarantee that other survivors' camps or bases would not be like this, but leaving the current camp and embarking on a journey would definitely require great risks. He could understand, so he did not force it. However, what he didn't expect was that he offended the camp leader by leading his men away. The other party didn't fight him directly, but sent his confidants to attract zombies from nearby villages and towns, forcing them here, obviously intending to trap them to death.

"Don't you plan to take revenge?" Routa Chen asked after hearing the reason why they were trapped. His tone was very calm, without any sense of indignation. Even if he was unwilling, he and his companions' hearts were gradually numb by the various experiences after the end of the world.

Chang Han shook his head and smiled, "It's lucky to be able to save a little life. There's no need to toss it." Of course, he could also treat him in his own way and lead the zombies to surround the Dongzi Camp, but is it necessary? There are some friends who get along well with him there, and there are many innocent people. He won't be so crazy. As for finding the culprit alone, he doesn't have the time and energy, and he doesn't want to end up hurting both sides.

After a moment of silence, Routa Chen asked again: "Where are you going?"

"Aren't you going to Yunzhou Base? Let's go together." Chang Han finally had the opportunity to tell them what they had planned for a long time.

Routa Chen was not too surprised by this answer. He glanced at Zhang Yi and others and saw that they were all a little careless. Knowing that they didn't object, he showed a happy look and said with a smile: "I couldn't ask for more." The other party was not weak, and it would not be bad for them to go together. However, they were not very familiar with each other after all. It was impossible to judge the other party's character by just listening to one side. I'm afraid they would have to pay more attention on the road. After

the discussion, they didn't stay in the county town for long and set off the next day. On the third day when the group set out again, the giant stone cocoon shell on the top of the tunnel where the flying ant mother was located cracked with a sound, and a black ant leg covered with thorns stretched out from it, scratching on both sides, and the cocoon shell next to it broke and fell, revealing a head that looked like a human but not a human, and like an ant but not an ant.

Giant sickle-like jaws, antennae, a black face with a shell, but with a pair of cold and eerie human eyes and long black hair.

Crash! The hole in the cocoon shell doubled in size, and the thing fell out of it. When it was about to hit the ground, it fluttered and opened two wings on its back, tilting its body crookedly and holding it steady in mid-air. It was a humanoid creature covered with a shiny black ant shell, with three pairs of strong ant legs and a pair of membranous wings.

The creature was stunned for a moment, and a trace of confusion flashed in its dark eyes without any human emotion. Its antennae moved, and it suddenly staggered out of the tunnel. It was like a young bird that had just started to learn to fly, clumsy but eager, and it hit the tunnel wall several times. After finally flying out of the tunnel, it saw the mutant plants all over the mountains. A glimmer of light flashed in its eyes, and then it rushed to the nearest mutant plant without hesitation. With the dense sound of smacking, a seven or eight-meter-tall mutant tree was eaten up in an instant. But it seemed that it was not enough, and it spread its wings and continued to pounce on the next mutant plant.

As the mutant plants were eaten in large quantities, the body of the creature gradually changed. The huge sickle-shaped upper jaw on its head began to shrink, and the first pair of ant legs also had a tendency to transform into human arms. Half an hour later, after eating nearly an acre of mutant plants, it seemed to have finally eaten enough and stopped. At this time, it was very different from when it first came out. Except for the half mask-like black carapace on its face, the wings on the back of the antennae on the top of its head were still there, and there was a pair of slightly atrophied ant legs under its ribs. The whole body was covered with armor-like ant armor, it was not much different from a human. It had strong arms and legs, and that half of the completely human face was exactly the same as Nan Shao, who Zhang Yi and others had been looking for for two months.

He stood there, looking at the world covered by heavy snow, with a bit of strangeness and confusion in his eyes, as if he didn't know why he was here, and didn't know what happened to him. After a long time, he slowly came to his senses, and uttered two words hoarsely and slowly: "Ayi." The confusion in his eyes turned into longing and eagerness.

He was Nan Shao, who was stained with the blood of flying ants, absorbed the vitality of the ant mother, and finally devoured the ant mother in a daze, eventually becoming ant-like, which can also be called ant-shaped mutation, similar to Song Yan's unknown beast transformation. It's just that Song Yan was only injected with a small amount of mutant beast fluid at the beginning, and the beast transformation was not as serious as his. It can even be said that if he was not in danger of death at the beginning, the beast gene hidden in his body would be activated, and under the suppression of his own strong enough genes, Song Yan might never have beast transformation in his life.

Nan Shao's mind was not very clear at this time, that is, he remembered Zhang Yi, and his other memories were confused, so naturally he couldn't remember going back to the motel. He didn't wait for his memory to be completely sorted out. He flapped his black membranous wings, flew crookedly to the road, and then flew in a random direction. He went to find Zhang Yi, and he couldn't wait even a second.

"Dudu, here are some instant noodles." In a small supermarket in an abandoned city more than 200 kilometers northeast of the tunnel, Zhang Ruiyang was carrying a large backpack that was almost as tall as him, and filling the bag with food from the supermarket shelves. After being led by Dudu to wander for more than 20 days, he no longer asked where to go or when to return. Instead, he began to learn to be like the adults, getting a backpack and collecting some food in it to avoid chewing on the roots of mutant plants. However, he was still young after all, and he didn't know what to take and what not to take. He just picked up what he knew and put it in his bag. As a result, he filled a large bag, most of which were snacks, and then instant noodles and biscuits. Although it looked bulging, it was not very filling.

Dudu's body has grown bigger these days, and it is a bit difficult to walk between the shelves, so he can only squat outside. Of course, it is not interested in the things on the shelves. When it heard Zhang Ruiyang's words, its tentacles did not move at all.

Zhang Ruiyang had long been used to it and didn't care. He put all the instant noodles he saw into his backpack, including a lot of instant vermicelli. In a blink of an eye, he saw that the backpack was bulging.

"I should put some biscuits." Looking at the biscuits not far away, he hesitated, took out some of the instant noodles in the bag, and replaced them with biscuits and some puffed foods.

"Zhacai, two packs." He smacked his tasteless little mouth and found that he wanted to eat something salty.

"Toilet paper." It's for wiping the butt.

"And water... but there's no room..." Let's just eat snow. If you take it outside, it will soon freeze into a block of ice and you can't drink it at all. He didn't dare to make a fire, and he didn't know how to make a fire. He had been eating dry food all the way. When he was thirsty, he would grab a handful of snow and squeeze it into a ball to eat as an ice stick.

"A lot of candy, and chocolate." Grandma said that eating too much candy will cause small worms on your teeth... I only eat a small piece every day. The little hand picked and searched for a few pieces of candy and stuffed them into the gap of the already full backpack. After hesitating for a while, he wanted to reach out and take a few more pieces. At this moment, a loud bang sounded from the glass wall of the supermarket facing the street, which frightened him and caused the candy in his fingers to fall back into the box. Dudu,

who had been quietly guarding outside, suddenly screamed and turned around and rushed out of the small supermarket, just as it was when it saw Song Yan, it was extremely frightened. Zhang Ruiyang stood between two rows of shelves, and had not figured out what happened, but the instinct he developed after the end of the world made him cover his mouth all of a sudden, hold his breath, and carefully shrink behind the big backpack, looking through the gap between the shelves to where the sound came from.

Bang - two shelves fell down in succession, hitting the shelf next to Zhang Ruiyang and shaking it. A monster that was more than twice as big as Dudu, covered with black scales, with a head like a crocodile and a body like a lion, but with four eagle-shaped scaly claws and a four or five-meter-long thick tail, came in from the outside of the broken glass wall. Wherever it passed, the shelves overturned and bottles and jars flew everywhere. Nothing could stop it.

Zhang Ruiyang stared at it with eyes wide open, and a glimmer of fear appeared in his dark eyes. He let go of his backpack full of things and quietly retreated to the depths of the supermarket. In fact, he wanted to run outside, but he was afraid that without Dudu, his short legs would be unable to run against such a huge monster no matter how fast he ran. Of course, he didn't think too much, but instinctively felt that he couldn't run.

Chapter 218

The two cold and sinister eyes of the mutant lion-crocodile beast penetrated the gaps in the horizontal grid of the shelf and collided with Zhang Ruiyang's quietly peeping eyes. The flames of greed burned in them, as if a hungry person saw delicious food, which made people tremble. Zhang Ruiyang screamed in shock, and no longer cared about hiding his body. He got up and turned around and ran.

Bang! The shelf was overturned, and the monster's sharp and strong claws landed on it, directly deforming the iron shelf. The cruel roar in excitement rang out in the supermarket of more than 300 square meters. Every time it took a step, it was not hurried or slow, as if the fresh prey in front of it was already in its bag. The only thing that made it dissatisfied might be that the prey was too small to fill the gap between its teeth.

Zhang Ruiyang was so scared that his heart was thumping, and he moved his two short legs vigorously. Sweat slid down his forehead, stuck to his hair, and soaked several obvious grooves on his dirty face. Although he was small and light, and could flexibly move through narrow places, this advantage was completely meaningless in the face of the monster's powerful strength and rough movements. He was about to be hit by the monster's claws, and suddenly a "Dudu" sounded behind him, followed by the monster's angry roar. There

was a door in front of him, which was located at the innermost part of the supermarket. The door was closed and no one knew what it was used for. Zhang Ruiyang rushed over without looking back and pushed hard, but failed to push it open. He grabbed his little fist and hammered hard a few times in panic. While hammering, he turned his head and found that Dudu, who had obviously escaped just now, had returned and was pestering the monster. It can be seen that Dudu was very scared. He flapped his wings and pounced on the monster, making a squeaking sound, like a terrified mouse. Not daring to delay any longer, Zhang Ruiyang took out the dagger from the bag hanging on his body, stabbed it into the plywood door, then put his hands together to hold the handle of the dagger, and pushed it down with force. With a sound of "sizzle", a long cut was made, and then it was scratched diagonally. Sweat slid down his forehead to the corners of his eyes, making his eyes hurt. He didn't bother to raise his hand to wipe it. Finally, an irregular frame was scratched. He kicked it twice with his feet and finally broke the wooden board, revealing a not-too-big hole.

He looked back again, but because he was too flustered, he didn't see anything clearly. He only knew that the whole supermarket was ruined. The original rows of shelves were all overturned, and there were only two huge figures fighting there. Zhang Ruiyang knew that Dudu would definitely not be able to beat the monster, otherwise it would not have been scared and ran away at first, so he didn't dare to stay and quickly crawled through the small door hole and crawled in.

It was very dark inside, with only a little light coming through the door hole, and it was hard to see what was there. If a cautious adult were to check if there was any danger first, Zhang Ruiyang had no such concept. As soon as he got inside, he touched the door lock and opened the door.

"Dudu, this way! This way!"

Dudu had never dared to get too close to the monster. Relying on his agility, he would often retreat far away after a bite, purely harassing it and attracting the monster's attention to himself. Although the supermarket space was limited, it was not as swift and flexible as in an open space, but the monster was more than twice as big as it, and had a long tail, which restricted it even more. For a while, it was unable to do anything to it. Hearing Zhang Ruiyang's shout, it did not hesitate, avoided the monster's long tongue attack, and flew over there.

Huh? Neither Zhang Ruiyang nor Dudu, who trusted him very much, thought that the door was too narrow, and Dudu rushed so hard that he was stuck there all of a sudden.

If Dudu could sweat, he would probably be sweating like rain at this moment. It was stuck right in the middle of the body, its wings couldn't spread, and its four legs couldn't bounce around. The most terrifying thing was that its soft butt was facing the big monster chasing it. If it was bitten... the scene was too beautiful, it couldn't even imagine it.

"Dudu, come on!" Zhang Ruiyang was also anxious, holding Dudu's head and pulling it hard. But he was too young after all, and even if he had a lot of strength, it was very limited. He couldn't pull the tightly stuck Dudu at all, but he might have pulled its head off first. At this time, the monster's big mouth had arrived, and its sharp teeth were like steel knives, flashing a creepy cold light. The bloody red tongue covered with saliva licked Dudu's fat butt, and seemed very satisfied. The hacksaw-like teeth then clicked together.

Dudu shivered from being licked, and before he could come to his senses, he felt a sharp pain, and he screamed, his potential burst out, and he broke free from the confinement of the door frame and rushed in. With a clang, the door could not withstand the huge friction and was directly hung off the door frame and flew two meters away. Dudu plunged into a pile of cardboard boxes and fell dizzy.

"Roar--" The food in its mouth disappeared, and the monster roared, making people's ears buzz. Because its body was much larger than Dudu, even if the door hole had been slightly expanded, it still couldn't pass through, so it violently crashed into the wall, causing the whole building to tremble, and sand and dust fell.

Zhang Ruiyang, who was thrown to the side by the impact, quickly got up and tried to pull Dudu out of the pile of cardboard boxes, only to find that it was already dying and was seriously injured. He was very worried. The monster's red tongue was sweeping there again, and he would be caught if he was not careful, so he simply got under Dudu's belly, carried it, and used his hands and feet to move it to the depths of the room with great effort.

This is a storage room. There is a single bed near the door. There are high piles of cardboard boxes that separate the inside. Behind the cardboard boxes are messy goods. Fortunately, there is a wide enough passage in the middle, otherwise Zhang Ruiyang would have a hard time getting Dudu in. There is another door at the top corner of the storage room. It is loosely closed. When it is opened, light flows in. It is a small and clean kitchen.

Boom! The monster grabbed the door frame with one claw and pulled it off. The wall next to it also fell off in large chunks. It is obviously not safe to stay in the storage room.

Zhang Ruiyang held his breath, puffed up his little face, and dragged Dudu into the kitchen silently. The kitchen door is about the same width as the door in front. Dudu collapsed again. He didn't have the strength to rush at the beginning. The little guy dragged for a long time. Dudu was tossed to death, and he couldn't drag the part below his head through.

Bang! Bang! The monster outside used its body and strong tail to hit the door opening, and occasionally used its iron claws to pull it. Seeing the hole getting bigger and bigger, Zhang Ruiyang was so anxious that tears welled up in his eyes. He grabbed the soft yellow hair on his head and pulled it hard twice. Suddenly he bent down and turned Dudu over, and then pulled hard. This time it was successful, but Dudu's wing on the side that was already injured suffered. After rubbing and pulling, it was injured again. It didn't even protest. I don't know if it was scared or had no strength.

Bang! There was another sound. With the fall of countless bricks and wall panels, the door opening was expanded enough for the monster's entire head to fit in. It crawled a few steps in and found that it still couldn't pass through. It couldn't help but roared in anger, and shook its head, hitting the edge of the already dilapidated wall hole and collapsing a lot more.

Zhang Ruiyang's face, which had turned red from exerting too much effort, turned pale in fear. He dared not look any more. He slammed the door shut, bolted it, and found tables, chairs, and other objects that could be pushed to block the door. But he knew that he could not stay here any longer.

"Dudu, don't be afraid. I'm here." He took a deep breath and said, probably to encourage himself more than to comfort Dudu, because he was so panicked that he didn't even notice that Dudu's four legs were curled up, as if he was pretending to be dead, and both tail hairs were gone.

There was no door in the kitchen leading to the outside, only two glass windows at the height of an adult's waist, and a bathroom. Although Zhang Ruiyang was more than five years old, he had not grown much because he had not been able to keep up with nutrition, so he could not see what was happening outside. So he climbed up the windowsill neatly, only to find that it was also a street. Although it was not as lively as the front street, there were many wandering zombies.

The location of the small supermarket is in the city center. A year has passed since the apocalypse. In places where there are survivor bases or communities, the villages, towns, and the surrounding areas of counties and cities have been almost cleaned up. Even if there are occasional remnants, they are not good things and are almost useless. Only in places where there is a large flow of people before the apocalypse, such as the center of the city, or in places like Renhuai City in Beizhou Province where there are not many survivors when the apocalypse occurs, shopping malls, supermarkets, warehouses and cargo yards are relatively well preserved. Of course, damage caused by non-human factors such as time, weather, and the growth of mutant plants is not included. It is also because of this that after breaking into several supermarkets on the edge of the city without any harvest, Dudu directly brought Zhang Ruiyang to the city center full of dangers. Dudu is not afraid of zombies, let alone mutant plants. Even most mutant animals can't do anything to it, so it would rather wander around outside than go back to face Song Yan, who makes it tremble from the bottom of its heart. But it never expected that it would meet a more pure breath than Song Yan here, its real natural enemy - the mutant lion crocodile beast. This is simply a case of bad luck for insects. Even chewing on plant leaves can get their teeth stuck.

Because it is in the city center, even if it is not in a busy area like the intersection of a commercial street, there is still a lot of traffic. The street behind leads to a wholesale market, and next to it are buildings like private hospitals and municipal bureau-level units. It was so lively when the end of the world just happened. At this time, many zombies have wandered away, but if the remaining ones gather together, they will be enough to gnaw Zhang Ruiyang and Dudu until there is nothing left. It is because Zhang Ruiyang is still young and Dudu is even more ignorant. They don't have this concept in their minds. If it were Zhang Yinan Shao and others, they would first understand the situation inside and outside and the surroundings after entering the supermarket, eliminate all possible potential dangers, and prepare a way to escape, so as not to be as helpless and hesitant as Yangyang is now.

Boom! A dull sound came from across the door, and a moment later, there was a crackling sound of various debris being lifted up and falling, hitting the ceiling, the wall, and other debris. It was obvious that the mutant lion-crocodile beast had broken through the door of the storage room and was approaching this side.

Although there were many zombies outside, they were nothing compared to the mutant lion-crocodile beast. After hearing the movement from the storage room, Zhang Ruiyang opened the window without thinking, but found that the two window leaves completely overlapped, and the exposed area was almost as wide as the door. It was really difficult to push Dudu out. Instead, the sound of pulling the window leaves attracted the attention of the surrounding zombies, and they began to run over here. The cold wind blew in from outside with snowflakes, and Zhang Ruiyang's forehead, which was soaked with sweat, actually broke out with fine beads of sweat again.

"Dudu, hold onto the edge of the window and turn your body sideways, and you'll be able to get through. We have to hurry, the monster is chasing us." The kitchen door had already been knocked, and he didn't dare delay any longer. He jumped down from the windowsill, and while struggling to lift Dudu up and stuff him into the open window, he shouted breathlessly, but he didn't even think about whether Dudu could hear him, or if he could understand him even if he could. Fortunately,

Dudu was stimulated by the cold wind and woke up from his coma. Perhaps he really understood what Zhang Ruiyang said. When his head was about to hit the window frame, his two front legs moved, clung to it, and just turned his body sideways, and at the same time exerted force, he fell out of the window in an instant, saving Zhang Ruiyang a lot of effort. Without the burden of Dudu, Zhang Ruiyang jumped out of the window in a flash.

At the same time, five or six zombies had gathered outside, and more zombies followed closely behind. The door of the kitchen inside the house was slammed open, and the tables and chairs blocking there were knocked away. The ferocious head of the mutant lion-crocodile beast appeared behind the door.

Chapter 219

Should the brave Yangyang kill the zombies, or lead them away with his speed? Or stand there stupidly and wait for fate to decide? This seems to be a multiple-choice question. However, Zhang Ruiyang, who was already scared to death, did not need to think too much, because he had already raised his butt to turn over Dudu, who was lying on his back, and then crawled under its belly, supported himself with his hands on the ground to carry his friend, and hurriedly chose a direction where there seemed to be fewer zombies, and ran on all fours. Because he was so small, from a distance, it looked like a mutant insect running by itself. As for the fact that Dudu's injured tail was dragging on the snow, Zhang Ruiyang really didn't know, and even if he knew, there was nothing he could do, because even if he stood up and carried Dudu, the tail would not leave the ground. But in this way, Dudu felt very excited. After two steps, the wound on his tail was frozen, but soon it was rubbed to bleed again, then frozen again, and rubbed again...

Just when the insect and the person were infinitely close to the zombies rushing over, Dudu was finally tormented to wake up completely. With a creak, he struggled to open his bloody wings that were frozen by the cold, and barely flew up. Before the zombies pounced on him, he lowered his head and picked up Zhang Ruiyang who was lying on the ground, brushed over the zombies' heads, and flew away. He only flew about 500 meters before falling headfirst again. But this was enough.

Because the zombies all ran to the window behind the supermarket, although they chased Dudu back, they were still dozens of meters apart. The zombies on the other side were far away and had not noticed the movement here before. Even if they discovered them at this time, it would take time for them to run over, so there was an open space where they fell. This street, which was nearly 100 meters long and had no zombies, faced an alley, which was across the street from the supermarket building. The so-called alley was actually a passage between two buildings that were more than ten stories high. It was only about one and a half meters wide, no more than two meters. There were no zombies in it, but there were some scattered debris. Zhang Ruiyang, who was covered in snow, got up quickly and crawled under Dudu's belly again, carrying it into the alley.

Dudu's body had a little space to enter the alley, but it couldn't get through when it encountered debris. Zhang Ruiyang used his experience to escape. When he encountered a pile of wooden boxes, he stopped, crawled out from under Dudu's belly, and then lifted the wooden boxes and other debris to block the way. One or two zombies ran the fastest, and he quickly killed them when they caught up to him. But he was too short and small, and neither the speed nor the height of the pile was enough to stop the zombies that were the size of adults and became extremely flexible. At most, he could delay them, and they would not be caught up immediately.

They walked along the way, and finally came out of the gap between the two buildings. Behind them was an old red brick building, most of which were four or five stories high. It seemed to be the staff dormitory of a state-owned enterprise that was already in recession. Some of the balconies still had clothes and sheets that had not been blown off by the storm, but they had become tattered.

Zhang Ruiyang looked at these houses, a little confused, not knowing where to go, but the zombies behind him left him no time to think. Finally, he dragged Dudu into a corridor where a resident had blocked the unit security door with bricks to prevent it from closing for easy access. After all, he did not have his father's superb lock-picking skills, and he could not enter the corridors with other closed security doors.

After removing the bricks and closing the door, Zhang Ruiyang leaned against the silent Dudu and sat slumped in the dark corridor, gasping for breath. He was strong, but he carried Dudu so far because fear stimulated his potential. If it were normal times, he would not be able to do it. Now that it was temporarily safe, he did not know what to do.

Bang! Bang! Something was hitting the door, with great force, but it was far less powerful than the mutant lion-crocodile beast. Zhang Ruiyang was startled, and he pushed Dudu absentmindedly and called out twice, but Dudu did not respond. Fear brought tears to his eyes. He stood up and pushed the door, and found that it was still tightly closed. He felt relieved and tried to drag Dudu, but he had used up all his strength before and could not drag him at all. So he put Dudu down and ran upstairs. However, until he ran to the top floor, he did not see any door open, and every house had an anti-theft door. Even if he had a dagger, he could not open the door like he did in the supermarket. Originally, he wanted to see if he could find something to prop up the door, but in the end he could only return to Dudu listlessly.

"Dudu, we may die. Are you afraid?" He leaned against Dudu's head and said softly. "Don't be afraid. I'm not afraid either. If you die, you can see grandma. Grandma is very nice. She will definitely like you very much because you are my friend. And I miss grandma so much..."

The corridor became quiet, with only zombies banging on the door. After a long time, the child cried again, "But I miss dad, Aunt Muran, Uncle Pumpkin, Uncle Fatty, Brother Adan... Dudu, I'm so scared..." Big tears fell, and then were wiped away by the little dirty hands. Even though the child was extremely scared, he didn't cry wantonly. This was almost an instinct, the instinct of humans in the end times.

Just as the little guy was silently venting his fear with tears, the window of the kitchen behind the supermarket had been smashed, and the mutant lion crocodile beast jumped out of it. Its ferocious eyes looked around, and then rushed to the alley where Zhang Ruiyang and the others disappeared at an incredible speed, but was stopped there. It was too narrow. Although there was a little space for Dudu to pass through, it was twice as big as Dudu and couldn't squeeze in even if it squeezed. As for knocking out a passage like before? After trying, it gave up. Those were two concrete buildings, not a wall. No matter how strong it was, it was useless. It

wandered in the same place for a long time. The food that was about to be eaten escaped, making it extremely angry. It killed the zombies around it and swallowed their crystal cores reluctantly, leaving the whole street empty. It was not until dark that it let out a howl of reluctance with its hungry stomach, and left in anger to look for other food. If there were other people here, they would definitely sigh at the little guy's good luck. Fortunately, the mutant beast had a low IQ and didn't know how to take a detour, otherwise they would not be able to escape hiding in the corridor.

But of course the little guy didn't think so. After a night of fear, the zombies didn't leave, but they couldn't break the tightly closed security door after all. Zhang Ruiyang was tired of crying, and fell into a daze. When he woke up, he found that he was still alive, and he was immediately overjoyed. However, his happiness only lasted for a short while, because he soon found that Dudu seemed to be a little unwell, and he was very hungry. He didn't bring out any of the food in the backpack he searched yesterday, and now Dudu was injured again. There were still zombies outside, and he didn't know how to find food for himself and Dudu.

If only the door could be opened. The little guy sighed heavily, rubbed his dry and swollen eyes, looked at the narrow stairs, and gave up the idea of ​​getting Dudu up there. He ran to the second floor and looked down through the hollow holes on the wall of the corridor. He found that the zombies gathered outside were not as many as he had imagined, only about 20 or 30. It turned out that the alley was too narrow, and Zhang Ruiyang pushed a lot of things to block it, which prolonged the speed of the zombies passing through. Those who were far away soon lost their target and dispersed, and were finally eaten as snacks by the mutant lion crocodile beast.

"But there are still too many. I have to kill them all..." The little guy muttered to himself, as if he was a little unsure whether he could do it. "I wonder if the monster from yesterday is still there. It would be great if it left on its own."

After squatting there for a long time, Zhang Ruiyang couldn't think of a way to find food without opening the door to the corridor, but his stomach was getting hungrier and hungrier. It was because he had been practicing the Five Animals Exercises modified by the sick ghost for the two months since Li Muran disappeared that his physique was much stronger than before. Otherwise, after yesterday's ordeal, he would have fallen ill due to fear, coldness and hunger.

Speaking of sick ghosts, I have to mention that after taking a lot of random medicines under Zhang Ruiyang's worried gaze, he seemed to be moved by the children's sincerity and concern, so after considering it, he decided to find a way to improve their self-protection ability. He thought about it for two days and finally gave them two options. One is that the ability will improve quickly, but there may be some small side effects, such as the appearance will gradually become weird as the strength increases; the other is that the ability will improve very slowly, but it can lay a good foundation, and it will be able to dominate the end of the world in ten or eight years. The first one is actually to use a special method to absorb the dark and filthy air of the wasteland, change the body constitution, and assimilate oneself with the biological population after the end of the world, so you can imagine the speed of cultivation and the change in appearance; the second one is similar to the ancient martial arts that already exist in this world, but the cultivation method he can provide is naturally much stronger than the existing ones, but after all, it is to temper the body and practice internal strength. It is indeed impossible to achieve something without a certain amount of time.

Fu Dan chose the first one without any hesitation. Because his right arm was disabled, practicing martial arts would be a big disadvantage, and the most important thing was that he wanted to become strong as soon as possible, which was something the latter could not give him. After careful consideration, Li Yuanzhuo also chose the first option. The beauty-loving girl Wu Ziran chose the second option, but she gave up after practicing for a few days, clinging to the sick ghost and crying and begging to follow the same path as the other two friends. Because practicing martial arts is too hard, and there is no effect after the hardship. In this crisis-ridden end of the world, it is really difficult for people who are not strong and determined to persist. Wu Ziran obviously does not belong to this category. Fu Dan can be regarded as one, but unfortunately he is not interested in this.

As for Zhang Ruiyang, the sick ghost still let him continue to practice the Five Animals Play, but he made some slight changes and asked the child to remember a few mnemonics and key points, and that was it. It must be said that he is indeed an extraordinary person. The previous children were in the caravan camp and did not encounter any danger at all, so they could not see anything. This time, Zhang Ruiyang and Dudu encountered a disaster, which showed the effect of his actions. You know, when the little guy was at the Dongzhou base, he could only move one or two stones, maybe a little more, but it was impossible for him to carry Dudu, who weighed three or four hundred kilograms. Even if the little guy's potential burst out because of fear this time, he was able to drag Dudu so far, which should not be underestimated.

Zhang Ruiyang rubbed his hungry stomach, went down to the first floor, and gently pushed Dudu. He found that it was still lying there motionless, and he suddenly became scared. He remembered that it was the same when his grandmother died. At that time, he was stupid and thought that his grandmother was just sick and would be fine after waking up. Who knew that she didn't wake up until her father came back. He was afraid that Dudu would be like that. He

had to find food and medicine for Dudu first. He thought, without hesitation, he dragged Dudu to the side to let it move a little, and he held the dagger in his hand, pulled the bolt, and then jumped onto the ladder nimbly.

As soon as the lock was opened, the zombies that had been banging against the door squeezed in through the crack of the door. At that moment, the little guy's eyes suddenly became unusually calm and clear. His small body shot out like a monkey, grabbed the zombie's arm and kicked it up to its waist. At the same time, he held the dagger in his other hand and thrust it upward, stabbing it hard into its eye socket.

Bang! The zombie fell down and leaned on Dudu, who was blocking the empty space under the stairs, while the little guy had already jumped out from behind it, jumped over Dudu, and returned to the stairs.

Because Dudu was blocking there, it was heavy and almost occupied the space under the stairs, so no matter how the zombies pushed, the door could not be opened wide, so they had to wait for the front ones to enter or fall down, and the ones behind could follow. This gave Zhang Ruiyang the opportunity to defeat them one by one, reducing the risk of being besieged, and Dudu would not be bitten a few times because Yangyang could not take care of it. It was just that because the zombies pushed the door too hard, he had to suffer more. Anyway, it has been suffering since it was carried by Yangyang to escape, and it doesn't need this little bit of pressure. After

killing three zombies, the gap in the door was blocked. The zombies outside couldn't get in, and Zhang Ruiyang couldn't get out. He thought about it, dragged the top zombie in, and threw it aside, so the upper half of another zombie squeezed in...

Thirty zombies were killed in the morning, and the stairs, the first floor door, and the stairs to the second floor were all piled with corpses. Zhang Ruiyang couldn't lift his arms. It wasn't because of killing zombies, but because of hunger.

With his hands that were shaking with hunger, he cut open a zombie's head, found a crystal core from it, wiped off the black and gray brain matter on it, and stuffed it into Dudu's tightly closed mouth.

"Dudu, eat this first, I'll go find something delicious later." He remembered that Dudu loved to swallow the crystal cores of mutant plants. He saved a lot for him when he went to Gelao Township, but he didn't bring them this time. After

the crystal core entered his mouth, Dudu, who was lifeless and seemed to have no signs of life, actually moved, swallowed the crystal core with a gulp, and then opened his mouth slightly, as if

he wanted more. Zhang Ruiyang's originally stern face suddenly showed a bright smile. He had been worried that Dudu would not react after feeding the crystal core into his mouth, just like when he fed biscuits and rice to his grandmother. Now that he knew Dudu was still alive, he suddenly became energetic, and even his stomach didn't seem so hungry.

After taking out the crystal cores of more than 30 zombies and feeding them to Dudu, Zhang Ruiyang decided to go outside to find some food. He knew that if he didn't eat something, he would soon be out of strength, and then he would not only be unable to protect Dudu, but also himself.

Children seem to grow up very fast in danger and difficulties. Before leaving, Zhang Ruiyang put all the zombies outside the door. He was afraid that the door would be locked and could not be opened when he came back, so he stuffed the brick in the crack of the door. He was also afraid that other zombies or people would come and Dudu would be in danger. He put the zombies one by one against the door, one layer on top of another. From a distance, it looked like a group of zombies were surrounding something.

After everything was arranged, he took the dagger and ran quickly to the supermarket. He wanted to see if the monster was still there. If not, maybe he could find some food. After all, he was not familiar with this place at all, and didn't know where there were supermarkets or small shops elsewhere.

Chapter 220 Growing Up

The quiet streets were covered with zombie corpses covered with a thin layer of snow. Only a few zombies could be seen wandering from nowhere in the distance. All traces left yesterday were buried by the heavy snow, as if it had always been so peaceful here. It was as peaceful as hell.

Zhang Ruiyang carefully leaned out of the wall of a building and looked out. After a while, he finally confirmed that the mutant lion-crocodile beast was not there. He showed a look of great relief on his little face, and then rushed out like a rabbit, heading straight for the back kitchen window of the supermarket that had been hit into a big black hole. Since he was blocked in the supermarket by the mutant lion-crocodile beast yesterday, he has learned his lesson. Before entering, he carefully felt the movement and breath inside. After he felt that there should be no danger, he climbed in, and then walked in, ready to escape at any time.

Fortunately, the mutant lion-crocodile beast had indeed left. Although the supermarket was ruined beyond recognition, there were still a lot of food scattered on the ground that was well preserved. Outside the dilapidated glass wall, you can see zombies wandering aimlessly, breathing hoarsely and deeply from time to time. Compared with the dead silence in the back street of the supermarket, it seems to be more lively, although this liveliness is actually an illusion.

Zhang Ruiyang held his breath and searched quickly in the mess. He saw the big backpack he collected food yesterday was pressed under the overturned shelf. He looked outside, then jumped out lightly, trying to pull the backpack out. The backpack was large, and there was a lot of ready-made food in it. If he could take it away directly, it would naturally save a lot of time. However, he only pulled it once, then gave up and quickly returned to the storage room. To pull out the backpack, you have to lift the shelf. The shelf is made of iron, and it was twisted and broken by the mutant lion crocodile beast. Just a slight movement will make a crackling sound. In the quiet surroundings, it is too easy to attract the attention of the zombies outside and other things nearby.

The little guy is now like a frightened bird. He observes the surrounding situation with every step he takes. He would rather spend more effort than be blocked by a ferocious big guy like yesterday, and almost have no way to escape. He waited quietly for a while, and after making sure that nothing was disturbed, he rushed out again to pick up the biscuits on the ground. But he put them down again after picking them up. It turned out that his hands were small, and he could only hold a pack of biscuits with one hand at most. Adding two packs in his two pockets, there were only four packs, which was not enough for him. Although he was young, he ate a lot because of practicing the Five Animals Exercises. Otherwise, how could he have the strength to carry Dudu. Besides, he also knew that it was very dangerous to always run out to find food. It would be better to bring more back every time he went out.

He first looked outside and found that a zombie was walking towards this side. He hurriedly hid in the storage room again. Seeing that it actually looked into the supermarket a few times and lingered for a long time, he couldn't help but get nervous. He was not afraid of one zombie, but he was afraid that it would attract more zombies, and then he might not be able to continue looking for food. Fortunately, it was cold and the wind was blowing in from outside, so the smell on Zhang Ruiyang's body did not spread out. In the end, the zombie found nothing and walked away slowly.

Zhang Ruiyang exhaled, reached out and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He did not dare to delay any longer, rushed out and picked up the air-conditioned quilt that was not far from the storage room. He carefully unzipped the outer packaging bag, took out the quilt, spread it on the ground, and then began to pick up the food that was spilled on the ground. At this time, he no longer cared about choosing like he did yesterday. Everything that was edible was put on the quilt, even the mineral water that touched his feet was not spared. While picking up, he paid attention to the movements around him, until he felt that he could not wrap it anymore, then he folded the quilt over to wrap it, picked it up and ran back.

Fortunately, apart from a few more zombies wandering around the back street, no other accidents happened. Zhang Ruiyang returned to the corridor where he and Dudu had taken refuge safely, holding a large bag of things.

The thirty or so crystal cores he fed before leaving had obviously worked. Dudu actually looked up when he came in, and his tentacles moved, which was obviously much better than in the morning. Zhang Ruiyang finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. As for having to sleep on the cold concrete floor and huddle in this dark and narrow corridor, he didn't care at all. For him, it was very good that Dudu was fine, not hungry, and not chased by monsters. Besides, he still had a quilt to cover himself. Although it

was located in the city center, there were not many zombies in the community, because the apocalypse happened in the morning. Most of the people living here were tenants from outside and had gone to work long ago. There were only a few retired elderly people who bought vegetables and walked their birds in the park. There were almost no people in the community, so naturally there were few zombies.

Dudu refused to eat biscuits or other human food. Although Zhang Ruiyang was strong, he could not handle the mutant plants. In the end, he could only kill zombies and dig crystal cores to feed it. So in the next few days, a small figure was seen quietly appearing in the streets around the community, like a little mouse. Whenever it encountered a lone or scattered zombie, it would rush up, and when a large group of zombies came, it would quickly flee. This is a city full of death, cruelty, and bloody competition. There are crazy plants, abnormal animals, and zombies everywhere, but it is rare to see living people. The whole city seems to be the only human being walking through it, lonely, brave, and not confused.

Zhang Ruiyang's goal is very clear, to feed Dudu and make it get better quickly. Then Dudu will take him away from here and continue to wander like before, looking for his father.

Although Dudu doesn't like the crystal cores of zombies very much, its injuries are still recovering at a visible speed day by day under the supply of a large amount of crystal core energy and the strong self-healing ability of the body. During this period, Zhang Ruiyang was already very familiar with the surrounding terrain. He knew where there would be many zombies, where he could find food, and even where he could hide when he encountered mutant animals that he couldn't run away from. If the local residents were still there, they might not know it as well as he did. It was also because of this understanding, coupled with his small and flexible body, that he was able to avoid many dangers and return safely every time he went out. Sometimes, if he was lucky, he would occasionally encounter a battle between mutant animals and mutant plants, and both would suffer, allowing him to pick up some things that Dudu liked.

Growth happened quietly and unconsciously. Although Zhang Ruiyang had suffered a lot in the past, he was protected by Zhang Yi, Li Muran, and others after all. Unlike this time, he had to face everything alone. It was also because of this that if he didn't grow up quickly in a short period of time, not only him, but also Dudu might not survive.

Seven or eight days later, Dudu's wounds not only healed, but the bitten off half of his buttocks and two tail whiskers actually grew back like a gecko. It just seemed to be left with a heavy psychological shadow, and had to look back from time to time to make sure they really existed.

"Let's go!" Zhang Ruiyang smiled and climbed onto the back of Dudu, who was squatting in front of him, and waved goodbye to the place that took them in.

Dudu flapped his wings, got used to the feeling of spreading his wings, then flapped his wings and spun a few times in place, and then flew away. It couldn't fly too high, but it was very fast. In the blink of an eye, it passed through several streets, causing the zombies below to chase in vain.

Ten minutes later, just as it was about to leave the city, there was a sound of heavy objects hitting the wall in front of it. This sound was so familiar that Zhang Ruiyang and Dudu, who had suffered a great loss, couldn't help but feel goosebumps. Before Zhang Ruiyang could say anything, Dudu had quietly turned around and prepared to escape.

"Dudu, do you think there are people who are blocked by the monster like us?" Zhang Ruiyang asked quietly.

Dudu didn't respond at all, but just flapped his wings hard, hoping to fly as far as possible.

"How about we go help him?" Zhang Ruiyang looked back uneasily and said uncertainly.

Huh? Dudu almost bumped into a building. He was silent at first, but now he couldn't help but squeak in protest.

Zhang Ruiyang scratched his head with his little hands. He was actually very scared, but when he thought about someone being chased like them and having no way to escape, he felt very pitiful. So he couldn't help but pull Dudu's tentacles and said, "Let's stay far away. When I yell, we'll run. You see, if someone helped us to lead the monster away that day, you wouldn't have been hurt."

Dudu couldn't understand the cause and effect relationship, but he still listened to Zhang Ruiyang, especially after this injury. In the past, knowing that the mutant lion-crocodile beast was in front of him, he would never go back, just like he refused to go back to the camp. So he turned around tremblingly, and then flew back at a snail's speed, which was completely opposite to the speed when he was escaping.

"Dudu, let's hurry up." Zhang Ruiyang patted Dudu's back gently and urged him. He felt that if he rushed back at this speed, the monster might have already broken through the wall and eaten the people inside. Although he was small, he knew that not everyone was as lucky as them to have other escape routes after being blocked.

Dudu reluctantly increased his speed, but stopped at least 500 meters away from the destination, and refused to fly one more meter forward. Zhang Ruiyang had no objection to this, in fact, he was also scared to death.

500 meters away was a primary school, consisting of several teaching buildings. At this time, the iron gate outside was closed, and many zombies gathered inside, mostly students, and some were faculty members. At this time, the mutant lion-crocodile beast was not outside the gate, but somehow jumped into the iron gate, circling outside a teaching building, bumping against the glass window or wall from time to time, and then stretching its claws in, as if trying to grab something.

Seeing that the white three-story teaching building was broken and bumpy, and it seemed that it would collapse at any time, Zhang Ruiyang knew that it might be too late if he didn't shout. But he opened his mouth and couldn't make a sound.

"Dudu, I seem to be a little scared..." The little guy's voice was a little dry, and he twisted his little body uncomfortably, as if he was shy about his retreat.

Dudu's tentacles trembled slightly, and suddenly screamed at the mutant lion-crocodile beast in the distance. In addition to fear, there was actually a hint of provocation in his voice. Zhang Ruiyang was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to be less scared, and then he shouted: "Monster, come here, we are here!"

These two completely different shouts sounded out of nowhere in the empty and silent street, and it was like poking a hornet's nest, not only attracting the attention of the mutant lion-crocodile beast, but also making the zombies on the street boil, and then let out excited roars and rushed towards them. There were even many mutant creatures nearby who cast cold and fierce eyes in this direction.

Roar - seeing that the food that had escaped dared to provoke it, the mutant lion-crocodile beast burst out with momentum, roaring, shaking the glass of nearby buildings, and then it gave up the prey that was about to be caught without hesitation, and rushed over here like lightning.
