Chapter 241 The survivors of the supermarket

had a good night's sleep.

The next day, before dawn, the two got up. After washing and cooking noodles, they extinguished the fire and prepared to return to the team.

When they went out, it was already dawn. It started snowing at some point, and the road in front of the supermarket became white again, completely erasing the traces they had left.

Zhang Yi noticed that the sign of the Fuyuan Supermarket was gone, and he was puzzled. Before he could ask, Nan Shao smiled and said, "I put it away yesterday morning." In order to avoid attracting people.

As he spoke, he pulled down the rolling door, then squatted down and locked it with a key he found somewhere.

Zhang Yi understood Nan Shao's thoughts. In fact, even he himself was reluctant to leave this place. Thinking that someone else would break in in the future, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. There were still a lot of supplies in the storage room on the second floor, but neither of them wanted to move them, let alone tell the team to move them. Even though they knew that this place would be discovered by the team or other survivors sooner or later, and then everything that could be used in it would be moved away. But there was always a glimmer of hope, so Nan Shao took down the supermarket sign and put it away.

"Bring Yangyang here next time." He said, cheering himself up. But he knew in his heart that this next time was actually a vague promise to comfort himself. He and Nan Shao had to be thick-skinned to steal this day and night. When they returned, they would go to clear out the zombies.

"Okay." Nan Shao locked the door, clapped his hands, and stood up to say. But he answered seriously.

The two looked at each other, and then leaned forward slightly in tacit understanding and kissed each other tenderly. After parting their lips, they looked back at the cold roller shutter door of the small supermarket and the balcony on the third floor with nostalgia, and then stepped into the wind and snow without hesitation, fearlessly facing the unknown and dangerous long journey to the end of the world.

Back at the gymnasium, the team members had already eaten breakfast and were getting ready to go.

Zhao Cheng was very happy to see the two people come back in time. After asking them if they had eaten, he ordered the team members to get on the car and set off.

Today they are still taking the same route as the day before yesterday. In addition to filling up the remaining cars yesterday, Yun Ze found a stack of maps of Longren City from somewhere and distributed them to the captains of each team. He outlined the routes and areas that each team was responsible for on them to avoid wasting manpower and time due to repeated searches.

Each team had only one off-road vehicle, which was occupied by the escort soldiers and the captain who led the way, and the rest of the people sat in the military truck. After getting on the car, Yun Hao's eyes involuntarily slid back and forth between Zhang Yi and the other two several times, and then a trace of doubt flashed across his eyes. It was obvious that he was not sure who was the one below, or that they did not leave the team to do that kind of thing as he guessed.

Seeing that he was always looking over here, Nan Shao was not happy. He slightly turned sideways to block Zhang Yi. At the same time, he exuded a faint irritability and warning message, just like the reaction of a beast to someone coveting his property, which attracted the attention of the guards in the same car.

Zhang Yi also noticed Yun Hao's curious and inquiring eyes, but he didn't care. Nan Shao used his supernatural power to massage and repair his body. With a good night's sleep, the discomfort in his body had almost dissipated. Only when he walked, he might show a slight abnormality, but it was not obvious and he didn't worry about being noticed. Moreover, in his opinion, the other party was still a young boy who had not grown up, so he unconsciously became more tolerant. But he didn't expect Nan Shao to react so strongly. He quickly reached out and pressed the back of the man's neck who suddenly became irritable, and gently stroked it twice like stroking hair, and successfully turned his attention back to himself.

The hostility in the air came suddenly and dissipated quickly, making many people think it was their own illusion. Only Yun Hao turned pale and hastily retracted his gaze, warning himself to control his eyes and curiosity in the future.

"Relax..." Zhang Yi whispered. He wanted to ask him why the ant transformation had not subsided, but he held back. It would be better to ask him in private. I didn't feel it before, except when he was very emotional, I could vaguely feel that he was affected by the beast transformation, and most of the time it was normal, but now it seems that there is a serious trend.

Nan Shao said nothing, just grabbed his hand and played with it with his eyes down. Sometimes he stroked the thick calluses on the tiger's mouth from holding the knife with his fingertips, and sometimes he scratched the neatly trimmed nails, and finally interlocked his fingers with his, holding tightly, silently declaring his sovereignty.

Zhang Yi stared at his handsome and elegant eyebrows for a moment, and suddenly his heart moved. The fingers that were clasped tightened, so it was no surprise to see him raise his eyelashes and show a happy smile to him. He

really has a childish temper! Zhang Yi sighed, and his heart softened a little.

At this moment, the truck suddenly braked and stopped. After the people in the car staggered around, they looked out and found that they had not reached their destination, so they were a little alert.

"Don't panic, everyone, there are survivors stopping the car." Soon a member of the escort team came over to say hello, and was immediately caught by everyone. After talking to each other, they soon figured out the matter.

It turned out that the survivors who hid in the underground supermarket they met the day before yesterday suddenly rushed out to stop the car and said they wanted to go with the convoy. As for why they refused before and now took the initiative to ask for help, everyone understood when they saw the people.

There were eight people in their car, and it was said that there were nine more in the car behind. The eight people in front of him included an old man in his seventies, two women, and the remaining five were young men. The old man had a pale face, a hunched back, and his clothes were put on one after another, but he was still shaking, making people worry that he would fall down in the next moment and never get up again.

The two women were both in their twenties, one with an ordinary appearance and the other very beautiful. Although their complexions were not as bad as the old man, they were not much better. They were frighteningly pale and timid. When they got on the car, they first quickly glanced at everyone in the car, then lowered their heads, and were scolded by the men with them, and finally shrank into a corner. The five men also looked pale, which was because they had not seen the sun for too long. Compared with the old man and the woman, their mental state was still good, but compared with the people in the team, they lacked the perseverance and fierceness cultivated after the end of the world. Even the people in the corpse-luring team were more calm than them. As soon as the few people got on the bus, a strong stench hit them in the face. Even though the people in the team hadn't showered for a long time and felt that their sense of smell had deteriorated, they still changed their faces slightly.

When one of the men took the initiative to greet the people in the car, everyone knew that he was the one who came out to deal with Zhao Cheng that day and tricked everyone.

The man was not tall, but very strong and had an ordinary appearance. He was the kind of person who could not be found in a crowd. According to him, his name was Zhang Hua. He used to be a security guard in the supermarket. After the apocalypse, there were zombies eating people everywhere, but there were few people in the supermarket. He couldn't go home, so he lived in the supermarket directly. Because he was familiar with the supermarket, had some strength, and knew some boxing and kicking, he finally became the leader of the survivors who came to the supermarket for refuge.

"You haven't left since you hid in the supermarket?" Someone asked incredulously.

"Yeah." Zhang Hua nodded, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and passed them around. Only two people took them. He lit up the cigarette, took a puff, and then blew out the smoke from his nose before continuing, "We originally wanted to wait for government rescue, but we had to wait for half a year. It was only because we had enough food and drink in the supermarket that we would not have been able to stay there. Later, it rained heavily. Although the supermarket was underground, it was not flooded, so we did not move. Who knew that the mutant plants would block both exits of the supermarket, and we could not get out..."

"The roots of those mutant plants have penetrated the ceiling of the supermarket and hung down, making it look like a forest. We couldn't cut them down, and it was disgusting. Fortunately, you came, otherwise we would have starved to death in there."

Everyone was listening to the scriptures, and they never expected that there would be such a scene under the supermarket.

"Aren't there more than 50 of you? Isn't there anyone with superpowers?" asked the man who took his cigarette.

"Superpower?" Zhang Hua was slightly startled, and then he flicked his finger, and a fist-sized flame appeared out of nowhere. He asked with a rather smug look on his face, "Are you talking about this?" However, the flame did not last for a few seconds before it dissipated.

The man nodded, "Superpowers can deal with mutant plants, especially your...fire power." When he said the word "your", he glanced at the other's face, which was pale and slightly sweaty because of the use of superpowers, and hesitated slightly. It was really rare to see such a weak fire power now. But thinking about the other party who had been hiding in the underground supermarket after the end of the world, it was normal for the superpower to improve slowly.

"Yes. I can make fire, one can control metal, and another can release water." Zhang Hua said with a refreshed look. They have been isolated from the world and have limited knowledge of superpowers. Judging from the other party's tone, he obviously knows more than them. Naturally, they don't want to miss the opportunity to inquire, and consciously confess a lot in their words.

The matter of superpowers is not a secret, so the man was open about everything. He told them the classification of superpowers, how to use crystal cores to enhance superpowers, etc., which made Zhang Hua feel like he had been enlightened. At the same time, he secretly regretted that there were still a few zombies lying in the supermarket, and they didn't even think of digging up their brains to take a look.

"By the way, why are there only a few of you? Where are the others?" After talking about superpowers, the man asked casually.

"Oh, they... they didn't want to come, saying that, hehe... they were worried. Fuck their mother, according to me, you are all the people's soldiers, serving our vast masses of people wholeheartedly. Every time there is a disaster, you are the ones who take the lead. What's there to worry about, don't you think, brother?" When mentioning this, Zhang Hua's eyes rolled around and he began to talk nonsense, with a hint of temptation in his tone.

It turned out that because the mutant plants hanging in the supermarket had strong roots but did not attack people, they did not take Zhao Cheng's warning seriously. When they came out, they would not avoid the mutant plants that looked beautiful and harmless. They thought that the danger was gone and vented their excitement and excitement of escaping from the cage. It was easy to imagine what would happen. In fact, in the end, only the dozen people escaped, and the others died.

Seeing that he was not sincere, the man who talked to him sneered in his heart, and the sincerity in his tone was a little less. He said lightly: "There were soldiers in the team, but that was in the past. Now I can't take care of myself, so how can I take care of others. It's just that you are lucky to meet Mr. Song's team, who will not treat the weak as pigs and dogs. You should try other teams. So, people, it's better to rely on yourself than on others." Hearing this

, Zhang Hua's face changed several times, but he smiled and nodded repeatedly, saying that was right.

As he spoke, the destination had arrived. Everyone got off the car one after another. Except for a few people who stayed behind to guard, the rest of the guards had already started to clear the zombies trapped in the mall and possible dangers. They saw the other nine people who got off the car behind with Zhang Hua. Except for three young women, the rest were young and strong men. Probably because they stayed underground for more than a year, their health did not look very good.

Zhang Hua called a young man with glasses and introduced him to everyone: "Xiao Zheng is the water-type superpower. Thanks to him, we can hold on until you come." As for the gold-type superpower, it was a middle-aged man in his forties. Then he pointed out the more capable men in the team one by one, looking eager to show their strength and then seek a place in the team.

Those ordinary people were fine, but the two superpowers who were introduced had a hint of arrogance in their expressions. They were a little indifferent to everyone. Only when facing the guards, their attitude was better.

Although most of the people who were dedicated to collecting supplies were unawakened, there were also some people with special abilities among them. They were only arranged to collect supplies because they were seriously injured in the previous battle to defend the base and had not fully recovered. Not to mention them, even ordinary survivors who could survive to this day were not Yi Yu's people. Seeing the situation of the two people, they couldn't help but reveal a sarcastic look in their eyes. Although they didn't make trouble, they subconsciously stayed away from them.

Zhang Yi and Nan Shao didn't care much about these things. They just listened to them. Just as they were about to walk into the mall, two or three shrill screams suddenly sounded behind them, which caught them off guard and scared them. Looking in the direction of the sound, it turned out that a zombie was kicked by the guards and fell on the glass wall of the mall. The hideous face was facing the people outside. The new women saw it and screamed in fear.

"Hey, what are you doing? Have you never seen zombies killed?" The people from the supply team scolded angrily. Everyone knows that when walking outside, one must be careful and cautious, and walk quietly and quickly. Who dares to scream like a fool now? Even if they want to die, they will not do that. Fortunately, almost all the zombies and mutants in the city have come out, otherwise they might have died here today. Bang

! Zhang Hua slapped the beautiful woman closest to him, and then smiled at the complainer as if nothing had happened: "Women, they have never seen the world, just teach them a lesson."

His move not only frightened the women and shut their mouths, trembling, but also the people in the car team changed their faces. You know, even in the corpse-luring team, there will be no such thing as bullying women openly.

"Why the hell are you hitting people? Are you still a man?" Someone couldn't help but say something.

"What's wrong with me hitting my own woman? She deserves to be hit if she does something wrong." Zhang Hua still said with a smile, and pulled the woman who was hit over and patted her face with the back of his hand, "If you don't believe me, ask her if she deserves to be hit?"

"I was wrong, I was wrong... I deserve to be hit! I deserve to be hit!" Before anyone else could say anything, the woman had already raised her hands to hold her head, trembling all over. The other women with her retreated cautiously, and in addition to fear, there was even a hint of gloating in their eyes. As for the other men, they watched with a smile. Only the old man stood farther away with his body hunched, his head lowered, making it difficult to see his facial expression.

"Fuck!" The man who spoke before cursed angrily, too lazy to meddle in other people's business, and strode into the mall, but when he passed the door, he still kicked the counter next to him angrily.

Zhang Yi's face was not very good, but he didn't say anything. He just called Fu Dan, Wu Qing, and Yun Hao to his side and asked them to follow him and Nan Shao closely, "Stay away from those people." He warned the three teenagers. As for whether bringing these people back to the team would cause trouble, that was Song Yan's concern.

And the fact proved that he was right not to take the lead, because after entering the mall, seeing all kinds of expensive jewelry on the counter, those women, including the one who was just beaten, immediately forgot about the previous things, rushed up excitedly, tried them on and put them in their bags, and even fought for them. The clothes on the second floor and the shoes on the third floor also won their favor. The people in the team frowned, but they were not considered members of the team yet, and Zhang Hua didn't care, so naturally no one would persuade them.

The supermarket was on the first floor underground, and the tea restaurant was on the sixth floor. The target of the material team was these two places. Except for a few women, everyone else in Zhang Hua's group was moving with them, including the trembling old man. What people couldn't see was that the old man was moving a lot of things. Seeing them take the initiative, everyone looked much better.

After emptying some of the inventory in the supermarket and the tea restaurant, the two cars were almost full, and there was still room for people, so Zhao Cheng decided to go back to the gymnasium first. When everyone was retreating, they saw several women wearing stilettos more than ten centimeters high, skirts inside, fur coats outside, dazzling jewelry, and dressed up gorgeously, and suddenly they lost the urge to speak.

Zhao Cheng scratched the back of his head, vaguely feeling that he seemed to have brought back big trouble for the team. But he didn't know that the matter was far more than that.

After getting on the car, Zhang Hua's dozen people gathered together, closely guarding the things they carried into the car, and took out biscuits, snacks and other things to eat there.

"Supplies are to be distributed uniformly by the team." Someone couldn't help but remind.

"How can the team be interested in our things?" Zhang Hua smiled. The tone was quite polite, but the meaning revealed in the words made people frown. It turned out that they were so active in moving things not to help, but to compete with the team for supplies.

Everyone was angry, but they had to hold it in because the guards made a gesture to silence them.

Zhao Cheng was in the off-road ahead, so the person maintaining order on the military card was another person. This person was also a soldier, also in his early twenties, but not as shy as Zhao Cheng, with hard features and a hard expression. He neither stopped Zhang Hua and his group from eating nor scolded them, but just gave them a cold look. It was this look that made Zhang Hua shudder and subconsciously restrained himself a lot.

Chapter 242 Different People

In addition to Zhao Cheng's team, there was another small team that encountered a group of hundreds of survivors. They lived in an air-raid shelter dug during the Anti-Japanese War in a certain center in the south of Longren City. There were men and women, old and young. Unlike Zhang Hua and his team, these people were all very brave. They almost got into a fight with the people in the convoy for supplies. Later, the people in the convoy took a step back and the situation was resolved peacefully.

These people were trapped in the city center at the beginning of the apocalypse and failed to escape in time. It is said that at the beginning, there were thousands of people, but they were all consumed in escaping, collecting supplies, heavy rains and sudden mutations of creatures. The remaining people, even the youngest children and the elderly, dared to rush up with knives to fight the mutant animals. Of course, the casualty rate was also quite high, so they never left the city occupied by zombies and mutant creatures. This time the zombies and mutants came out of their nests, but they didn't want to leave, but took the time to collect supplies, so they ran into the convoy.

"At first, I wanted to escape and find a safe place to live with military protection. Now I don't have that intention anymore. Our home is here, and all the people in our family, relatives and friends are dead. Let alone whether we can find a place without zombies and mutants alive, even if we can, what's the point? Let's live one day at a time." The person who spoke was a middle-aged man in his forties. Although the words were depressed, anyone who had seen them grabbing supplies with knives would not think that they stayed here to die. They just changed their way of life.

"It's just that we old guys don't care, but these kids still have a long way to go in the future, and they shouldn't be wasted here." There were more than a hundred of them in total, but only about thirty of them came to the gymnasium with the middle-aged man, almost all of them were teenagers in their teens and twenties, and there were a few men in their thirties who looked very capable. As soon as they arrived at the gymnasium, they had a clear understanding of the surrounding terrain and the current people in the convoy, and they were also very careful about the other small teams that would come back later. As for the middle-aged man who spoke, he went straight to Yun Ze and talked to him.

"The little ones are ignorant and have bad tempers, so they are prone to getting into trouble, so we asked them to come and look after you, so as not to cause you any trouble." Pointing at the vigilant men, the middle-aged man explained with a smile. His words sounded nice, but he did not hide his worry. It was obvious that after a year of getting along, their members had developed a very deep relationship. They were worried that the children would suffer in the team, so they sent a few adults to look after them.

Yun Ze did not feel disgusted by this approach, but just nodded to indicate that it was okay. After a pause, he said indifferently: "Our convoy will be stationed in Hulugou outside Zhang County for a while until the Yunzhou base is relieved. As for where we will go in the future, it is still uncertain. During this period of time, you can come over at any time."

The middle-aged man showed surprise on his face, but before he could be happy, Yun Ze had already said: "However, the convoy does not keep idle people. Those who are capable must help to eliminate zombies and mutant beasts, and those who are not capable must also participate in collecting supplies. If you can't do it, it's better not to go with us. The convoy has its own rules. If you don't follow the rules, don't blame us for being unkind." At this point, he glanced at Zhang Hua's group of people indifferently, especially at a few women for a few seconds, his eyes became colder, and he said meaningfully that few people could understand: "Mr. Song's temper has not been very good recently."

"It's as it should be. They are not spoiled brats. Comrade PLA, don't worry. These brats are no worse than any other when it comes to killing zombies." The middle-aged man agreed with this, but after thinking about it, he became a little confused: "Are you trying to fight your way out? Although the High-tech Zone is surrounded, the roads to Zhongzhou and Dongzhou should not be blocked, right? Why don't you change direction?" He had learned from the people in the convoy that there was a base in the High-tech Zone a few kilometers away from the city, and the base was now surrounded, and the zombies and mutants in the city went there.

"It's not for this." Yun Ze shook his head, and then roughly explained that the convoy wanted to rescue the Yunzhou base.

The middle-aged man touched the stubble on his chin, thought for a long time, and asked: "How long will you stay in the city?"

Yun Ze looked at the truck outside that was not yet fully loaded, and said: "We will search for another day tomorrow, and then we will return to the camp. But we will come again..." When he said the word "come again", he paused slightly, obviously thinking about what to do with these survivors who refused to leave if the convoy searched the city for all the supplies. So he changed his words uncertainly, "Maybe he will go somewhere else."

The middle-aged man laughed and waved his hand and said: "Then I will come to you again tomorrow." As for what he was looking for them for, he didn't say. Instead, he turned around and called the people he brought with him, and told them to follow the rules and not to act impulsively, and then left casually.

"Master Wang!"

"Master Wang, call everyone to go together."

The people who followed him couldn't help but shout loudly. But no matter how they shouted, the middle-aged man didn't turn back.

"He will come again tomorrow." Seeing this scene, Yun Ze couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, but he said it.

"Put them all away, as long as you little bastards are alive and well and kill a few more zombies, it will be a face-saving thing for the people in the air-raid shelter and for Master Wang." Perhaps he didn't want to leave a bad impression on the people in the team, and a burly man with a bumpy face immediately shouted.

He obviously had a lot of prestige in the team. When he spoke, the young people couldn't help but fall silent, but there was still a strong sense of nostalgia in their expressions.

Yun Ze smiled, thinking that this was good, at least he didn't have to spend energy to integrate them. The team did not prohibit the existence of small groups, as long as you had enough strength, you could even have a say in the decision-making meeting. Of course, the reason why they dared to do this was because they had the capital. You know, the core personnel in the team, in addition to the soldiers who escaped from various troops, were Song Yan's original subordinates, who were veterans of hundreds of battles. Even if these people did not have superpowers, their individual combat capabilities could suppress ordinary superpowers, and they also had steel-like discipline and strong cohesion. Such a team would not be afraid of anything.

After calling someone to arrange for them, Yun Ze finally turned his attention to Zhang Hua's group. Zhao Cheng had already told him about what happened on the road. Looking at the clothes of the women and the spirit of the whole team, he already had an idea in his mind, but his expression did not change.

"What are your plans?" he asked Zhang Hua.

"Plans? Ah... From now on, everything will depend on you comrades in the People's Liberation Army. Following you, we have nothing to fear. Don't you think so? Haha..." Zhang Hua was stunned, then immediately laughed and said as if it was a matter of course.

Yun Ze didn't smile. He looked at him seriously and repeated what he had said to the middle-aged man before: "The team doesn't support idle people. If you want to join us, some of you will have to kill zombies. Those who can't kill zombies will help collect supplies and do other chores. If you collect supplies, you can't hide them without permission, otherwise you won't get a share when the team distributes food. If you don't want to do anything, you need to find a car by yourself. You can follow the team, but the team will not take you or protect you. After arriving at the camp, you must find a place to stay by yourself." In fact, he could have killed these people who didn't recognize the reality and were extremely selfish, but the sense of responsibility and honor of the soldiers still made him choose to lay everything out. If they still can't put themselves in the right position, then he won't be polite. According to Mr. Song, the team can regard rescuing survivors as a responsibility and obligation, but there is a premise, first of all, to ensure the safety of the team members. Especially when the survivors are unwilling to cooperate, they can completely give up saving people.

"What? We still need to kill zombies? Let us go kill zombies, why do you need soldiers?" It was not Zhang Hua who said this, but the water-type mutant with glasses.

"Yeah, isn't it your job to protect the people?" The men who came with them also chimed in, looking indignant, as if Yun Ze had said something extremely evil.

"Everyone, please be quiet. The PLA comrades definitely don't mean that. How can the PLA comrades let us ordinary people kill zombies?" Zhang Hua said slowly after the noise was almost over.

Yun Ze put his fist to his lips and coughed, then put his hand down and said indifferently: "I'm sorry, I've been retired for many years. Now I'm also one of the masses. Well, you can also regard us as mercenaries. If someone is willing to pay you, maybe we can consider it..." At this point, he shrugged, "But I think no one can afford us now." Such words would be shameless for a young man like Zhao Cheng who had just been in the army for a short time, but when Yun Ze said it, he had a sense of righteousness that could not be questioned. Of course, if it was Song Yan, he would not bother to talk nonsense and directly asked people to fork out the people in front of him.

Zhang Hua choked, obviously not expecting that this person was different from the captain he met before. Although he had the smell of an iron-blooded soldier, his heart seemed to be as cold and hard as steel.

"So what you mean is that if we don't kill zombies and don't hand in the collected supplies, you won't take us with you?" The man with the gold-type superpower simply shook it off and asked directly in a bad tone.

"Very good, there are still people who can understand me. That's true." Yun Ze's lips curled up slightly, and he raised a smile without any smile. At the beginning of the apocalypse, countless soldiers in the team died in order to save those who didn't understand the situation. After that, they didn't abuse sympathy.

"Fuck you!" The gold-type superpower man had probably been the king of the underground for too long, and he wanted to fight as soon as he disagreed. However, before his hand touched Yun Ze's collar, he was blocked by an ice wall. It was Zhao Cheng who took action.

It turned out that the people were brought back by Zhao Cheng's team, and he felt that these people were a little unreliable, so he had been watching from the side. When he saw that the other party was about to attack Yun Ze, he subconsciously used his superpowers.

Zhang Hua and his friends never expected that the young man who always looked easy to bully was actually a superpower. Moreover, seeing him easily create an ice wall, it was as natural as eating and drinking, not as strenuous as himself, and his face changed. Before, when dealing with the zombies in the mall, the guards didn't even use their superpowers, so they had an illusion that they were very powerful to have three superpowers on their side, and they should be the ones to be won over. Now it seems that it is not what they imagined.

"That might be a bit difficult." Yun Ze was not angry when being scolded. He leisurely released a fire dragon, and in a blink of an eye, the ice wall in front of him was vaporized, and he answered at the same time. Although his body was still recovering, compared with the people in front of him, it was no problem for him to crush them.

"Since you are unwilling to protect us, there is no point for us to stay." Zhang Hua said with a pale face, and then motioned for others to follow him.

It turned out that after seeing Yun Ze and Zhao Cheng display their superpowers, the first thing he thought of was not the strength of the team and that following them would be safe, but that he was worried that they would swallow up the people under their command, and that he would not even be able to become a small leader, and would have to be controlled by them. If that were the case, it would be better to stay in this city, at least he could live a more comfortable life.

The other two superpowers obviously had the same idea as him. As for the other men in the team, they were also afraid of being sent to kill zombies, so no one had any objections and they all followed them out. The women were a little hesitant, looking at Yun Ze and then at the women in the team, but before they could say anything, Zhang Hua's scolding had already come over. They gritted their teeth and finally hurriedly chased after them. Only one person did not move.

The old man in his seventies trembled in front of Yun Ze, coughed a few times, and said in a hoarse voice: "I didn't hide anything. I can also kill zombies."

Yun Ze looked at him as if he would fall at any time, speechless, and Zhang Hua and the others didn't seem to care about the old man, and no one cared whether he followed or not.

After a while, Yun Ze asked someone to bring a good down jacket, scarf, hat and thick cotton boots for the old man to put on, "You... just come with us, you won't starve." As for asking such an old man to kill zombies, he felt that if he really did it, he would definitely be struck by lightning.

The old man grinned, revealing a mouthful of missing teeth, and hugged the clothes tightly, as if holding a priceless treasure, but before leaving, he still said: "I can kill zombies."

Yun Ze touched his forehead, not knowing how to answer, so he could only smile. In a blink of an eye, he saw Zhang Hua and others moving the supplies they had found before under the car, and shook his head to stop the guards from coming forward to stop them. After they left, he said to Zhao Cheng and others lightly: "They should come again. You should be alert. These people are inexperienced. Don't let them attract any danger."

The people of the corpse-luring team watched the farce come to an end, feeling quite unsatisfied. In fact, in the end of the world, there is no other entertainment except killing zombies and taking things for free. It is also an interesting pastime to see how others commit suicide. Of course, they decided to forget that they had such a naive and foolish day. Seeing these people repeating their old ways, they inexplicably felt a sense of superiority as experienced people. However,

the people who entered the team later, such as those from Yunzhou Base and other survivors found in the city, have a clearer understanding of their own positions because of this, which saved the team a lot of trouble. Nan Shao was repairing Fu Dan's right hand. Li Muran had asked him to do this a long time ago. Since he could do it, he would not refuse. There was nothing to do at the moment, so he did it. Otherwise, he didn't know when he would have time when he returned to Hulugou. Zhang Yi and others were watching from the side, but they didn't pay much attention to what was happening over there.

After learning that his hand could be cured, Fu Dan was always excited, especially during the treatment process. His expression of both anxiety and expectation affected the bystanders, and they unconsciously became nervous, fearing that the result would not be satisfactory.

If Fu Dan had such an injury a few months ago, it would have taken at least one night, even if it would not take several days and nights to treat Zhang Yi, who was seriously injured and dying. But now Nan Shao only took an hour to completely repair his contracted tendons.

The boy carefully straightened his arms, then bent them, straightened them again, and bent them again... Repeating this several times, he enjoyed it so much, and then laughed foolishly, and then howled with his voice changing voice, wiped his tears after a few howls, bent his knees and was about to kneel down to Nan Shao. Zhang Yi

had been paying attention to him, and seeing him laughing and crying happily, he couldn't help but smile, so when he was about to bend his knees, he had guessed what he was thinking, and hurriedly grabbed him, saying helplessly: "You are so young, there are so many things to learn, but you are so soft-hearted that you kneel down at the slightest provocation?"

"No, brother... uncle, I..." Fu Dan couldn't help but get nervous when he heard this, and wanted to defend himself, but he was stuck on how to address Zhang Yi. With Nan Shao's life as a foundation, Zhang Yi looked very young despite his white hair. The boy subconsciously called him brother, but then he felt it was wrong and changed it to uncle. However, he still felt awkward and didn't know what to call him. This struggle immediately diluted the excitement of his hand returning to normal.

Zhang Yi smiled and patted the boy on the shoulder: "Call me Uncle Yi." Then he pointed to Nan Shao and said with a little teasing, "Uncle Pumpkin." He said to the other two boys, "You guys should call me that too."

The three boys were embarrassed, and Nan Shao was helpless, but seeing Zhang Yi was happy, he didn't say anything. So under this deliberate interruption to get closer to each other, Zhang Yi lightly brought up the matter of kneeling. Fu Dan was still very grateful in his heart, but at this time he had changed his mind and secretly made up his mind to treat Yang Yang better in the future and repay Nan Shao.

After learning that Fu Dan's hand was healed, the other members of the team came over to congratulate him, and at the same time, they looked at Nan Shao with more enthusiasm. After all, in this end times, who can guarantee that they will not be injured, big or small? If they have a good relationship with this person, the probability of their disability can be infinitely reduced. In other words, they did not know that Nan Shao could save people who were bitten by zombies, otherwise they would have gone crazy.

Then nothing happened overnight. The next morning, the team was preparing, but before they went out, the middle-aged man named Wang Ye in the air-raid shelter came again, with a large group of people behind him.

"Since you want to kill zombies, count us in as one." Wang Ye said with a smile. Then he pointed to the people behind him and said, "Everyone's parents, relatives, wives and children have either become zombies or been killed by zombies. Maybe we can see many familiar people in the past. Whether it's revenge or looking for relatives, let's send them off for the last time." It turned out that he had an idea when he heard Yun Ze say that he wanted to eliminate the zombies yesterday. After going back and discussing with others, he decided to help the team eliminate the zombies.

Hearing his words, not only Yun Ze was surprised, but also the other busy people in the team couldn't help but cast their eyes over, and the young people who came to the air-raid shelter yesterday cheered.

Looking at the men, women, old and young who were wearing tattered clothes and holding all kinds of strange weapons such as kitchen knives, machetes, hammers, etc. behind him, Yun Ze opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. Finally, he stood at attention and saluted them.

Snap! All the retired active-duty soldiers in the team put down what they were doing at the same time, stood at attention and saluted. Cheers to these respectable people!

Chapter 243

: There were suddenly more than a hundred people on the battlefield in Zhang County. Yun Ze, who had planned to stay in the city for a day, had to change his mind and decided to return to the camp immediately.

An hour later, when the convoy slowly drove into Hulugou, several children rushed over with a huge black mutant insect beast. This scene would be played out in the ditch every time a car came back in the past few days.

The fastest runners were Zhang Ruiyang and Dudu, followed by Wu Ziran, and finally Li Yuanzhuo, who was carrying a two-year-old little girl. It was impossible to spare someone to be a nanny for the little baby, so the task of taking care of Wu Lan was given to Li Yuanzhuo and his friends who were also children. Hardships make people mature early. Not to mention Li Yuanzhuo and Wu Ziran, even Zhang Ruiyang would take special care of this little sister who was three years younger than him, and would give her a piece of candy he had hidden from time to time. Only Dudu refused to let little girl get close. Because every time little girl got close, she would grab its tentacles, buckle its wings, kick its soft belly and climb onto its back. It hurt so much, but she couldn't lose her temper. It was just a small ball, it could swallow it in one bite, but it didn't have the courage. Song Yan was not there, Nan Shao had left, but there was still the sick ghost. Even though it couldn't even see his shadow at ordinary times, it could still feel the deterrence.

"Dad!" Seeing Zhang Yi and Nan Shao getting off the car, Zhang Ruiyang rushed over like a gust of wind, wanting to throw himself into Zhang Yi's arms. As a result, he was picked up by Nan Shao first.

"What about me?" Although he was teasing the little guy, Nan Shao still tilted the half of his face that had turned into an ant slightly to the side to avoid scaring him.

Zhang Ruiyang didn't struggle either. He raised his hands to hold Nan Shao's face, kissed it heavily, and laughed and shouted: "Uncle Pumpkin."

Nan Shao's heart was about to melt, but he still had to make an unsatisfied expression, and said in a deep voice: "Why don't you call dad?"

Zhang Ruiyang was stunned, and subconsciously looked at his father. Zhang Yi was also stunned for a moment, then he chuckled and said to Zhang Ruiyang who was looking at him eagerly: "From now on, call Uncle Pumpkin Dad." This can be regarded as a name for both parties. He thought. As for what the people around him would think, it was not as important as giving Nan Shao an explanation.

"Oh." Zhang Ruiyang was a little confused, not knowing why he should call Uncle Pumpkin Dad, but he still obediently called: "Pumpkin Dad."

Nan Shao just said it casually, and didn't expect Zhang Yi to really agree. However, before he had time to be happy or excited, he was immediately hit by Zhang Ruiyang and all the atmosphere was gone. It seems that he will never leave the word pumpkin for the rest of his life.

"This... is also easy to distinguish." Zhang Yi couldn't help laughing.

Nan Shao wiped his face, resignedly slapped Zhang Ruiyang on the butt lightly, and finally handed him to Zhang Yi. As soon as he got into Zhang Yi's arms, the little guy immediately went crazy, kissed his father on the face several times, and suddenly said, "Dad, you smell so good."

People who had just taken a bath and changed clothes the day before really stood out in the smell of not taking a bath for a long time. Zhang Yi felt a little hot inexplicably, twisted Zhang Ruiyang's little nose, and said, "I'll give you a bath tonight." They still have to go to clear out the zombies later.

"If you wash it clean, people will catch it and eat it..." Zhang Ruiyang shrank. It can be seen how serious the psychological shadow left on him by the scene of cannibalism at the beginning of the apocalypse, and he still believes it until now.

"Don't be afraid now, Dad is here." Zhang Yi touched the little guy's head with some heartache, and said softly but solemnly. At that time, he had a disabled leg and no special powers. It was very difficult for him to take care of the child alone. He couldn't eat enough food, and he didn't have enough water to drink, let alone take a bath. Now he has strength, water is no longer scarce, and even antifreeze cream has been found. Why should he continue to wrong his son?

"Oh." Zhang Ruiyang always has full trust and reliance on his father, unlike when he was in Song Yan's hands, asking him to take a bath was like killing him.

On the other side, Li Yuanzhuo and Wu Ziran had already discovered that Fu Dan's right hand had healed, and were chattering about it. Fu Dan was in a good mood and answered patiently one by one. Wu Qing, who came down with him, saw that they came to pick up people and brought his sister with them. He couldn't help but smile, his heart full of warmth, and was once again glad that he had taken his sister with Song Yan and the others to leave, although he had no choice at the time. With

so many people joining at once, and more people will be taken out of the base in the future, so building housing is an urgent matter. Under the command of the person in charge of the garrison camp, the earth-related ability immediately started construction, while others moved the materials they brought back into the warehouse. After finishing the work, they joined the work of building houses. The newcomers to the air-raid shelter took the initiative to participate without waiting for people to say hello. There are many people with special abilities among them, and those who have not awakened are also fierce. Even if they don't kill zombies, they can be regarded as a considerable force in this kind of physical labor, which makes the team members feel much easier.

In addition to the place to live, fuel and gasoline consumed every day have also become problems that must be solved, but these are all matters of the supply team. Nan Shao and Zhang Yi have already moved to the zombie battlefield, and there are several children going with them. As for the people in the air-raid shelter, they have to wait until the problem of accommodation and heating is solved before Song Yan will arrange for them to go to the battlefield.

The battlefield is divided into three points. One is the intersection of Zhang County leading to the base, where the wall was built last time to meet Li Muran. One is the junction of Longren and the base. The last one is much farther away, which is the intersection of Longren, Xinlong, and the base. The first two points are okay, but the last point is too far away. It is not realistic to go back and forth every day, so the people who go there simply stay there, but the food, fuel and other supplies need to be sent by the camp. The convoy will be sent there, and every ten days, another team will replace them.

Knowing that Routa Chen and his group were in Zhang County, there was no need for the camp to send a special car to take them. Zhang Yinan and Shao found a van in the nearest town, filled it with a barrel of gasoline brought from the camp, and drove to the battlefield with a group of little guys. The identities of the two were quite special. Just like sick ghosts, the people in the team did not restrict them. Of course, this was also related to the fact that the team had enough people, and they were not lacking in collecting supplies or killing ordinary zombies. Therefore, they only needed to tell Yun Ze who was in charge.

"What's wrong with you two?" Fu Dan suddenly asked after the car drove out for a while.

Nan Shao and Zhang Yi, who were sitting in the driver's seat and the co-pilot's seat, chatted from time to time. Zhang Ruiyang, Li Yuanzhuo, Wu Ziran, and Fu Dan were squeezed in the last row. Wu Ziran was heard chattering non-stop. Li Yuanzhuo and Zhang Ruiyang would occasionally respond to her. It was obvious that the little guys were not nervous at all about killing zombies. On the contrary, Yun Hao, who was sitting in the front row, and Wu Qing, who was holding his sister, were silent and tense, so they stood out in the relaxed atmosphere. Fu Dan was less than two years older than them, and they had been on missions together, so they had a good relationship. He couldn't help asking when he saw them. As

soon as he opened his mouth, everyone else in the car looked over. The two big boys' faces flushed red, and they seemed a little helpless. Finally, Wu Qing scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I'm a little nervous... I haven't killed many zombies before." It turned out that although he escaped with his sister, he followed other survivors along the way, and was protected by Uncle Chen who had awakened his superpowers. After arriving at the Beijing base, he had been squatting in the base to do some odd jobs and never went out, so he had hardly killed zombies with his own hands.

"Yeah, I don't know if I can do it." Seeing him speak, Yun Hao loosened his hand that was tightly holding the machete, wiped the sweat on his pants, and then laughed self-deprecatingly. With his previous identity, he didn't have to face zombies at all. He just had to serve those men well, and compete with those young men and women like him. If he hadn't followed Chang Han in the end and got rid of that kind of life, he felt that he would never be able to become a real man.

Of course, Zhang Yi asked their wishes before leaving, and then brought them with him. In Zhang Yi's opinion, the best way to take care of them in the end times is to let them face this cruel world, learn to fight, and learn to protect themselves. Now that he and Nan Shao are here, let alone ordinary zombies, even mutant beasts and mutant zombies appear, as long as the number is not too large, it is completely no problem to protect the safety of several children. It is rare to encounter such a large-scale clearing activity, so it is just right to put the children in to temper them. As for the little girl, it was because Wu Qing was embarrassed and did not trust others to take care of her, so he simply let him take her with him.

As for Wu Qing and Yun Hao, they didn't want to rely on others all the time, so even though they were extremely scared, they still agreed to follow them out.

"What's there to be afraid of? Xiao Zhuo and Zi Ran can kill them." Hearing this answer, Fu Dan was a little surprised and laughed. Normally, he wanted to use the youngest Yang Yang as an example, but in his heart, Yang Yang was already beyond ordinary and was completely on a different level from them, so he naturally didn't mention it.

"Yeah, it's a pity that I'm too short, otherwise I would dare to kill zombies alone." Unexpectedly, there are people who are less courageous than him. Wu Zi Ran suddenly became energetic, stood up and grabbed the backrest of the seat in front of him, and said with a bit of boasting.

Li Yuanzhuo glanced at her, resisted the urge to complain, and turned his face away to look out the window.

"I can do it too." Zhang Ruiyang added. He was small, so Fu Dan directly held him on his lap and sat him, and the seat in the back was spacious.

Wu Qing and Yun Hao couldn't help laughing when they heard the little guy's words, and their originally nervous mood suddenly relaxed a lot. Zhang Ruiyang saw them laughing and laughed too, not knowing that they didn't take his words seriously at all.

Fu Dan had a strange smile on his face, and he resisted the urge to help Yangyang confirm it, looking forward to the shocking scene of the two people with a bit of malicious intent.

Zhang Yi, who was driving, glanced at the rearview mirror and didn't say anything to comfort them. This process is necessary. Of course, if the two teenagers want to back out at the last minute, he and Nan Shao will also send them back safely, but they probably won't interfere in the future.

It's only a dozen kilometers from Hulugou to the Zhangxian battlefield. There have been vehicles coming and going in the past few days. The road has been swept very clean, and even the snow is a thin layer, which is obviously newly fallen. Ten minutes later, buses, off-road vehicles, and armored vehicles began to appear in a long line on the roadside ahead. There were black muzzles on the roofs and in the compartments, and people were walking back and forth on them.

Seeing Zhang Yi and his team's car coming, the people standing on the roof of the bus immediately raised their hands happily, gesturing for them to stop fifty meters away, and then someone jumped off the bus, jogging over, carefully checked the inside of the car, as well as the roof, rear and even the bottom of the car, before directing them to drive forward and finally stop on the side of the road.

"The mutant zombies are cunning and good at hiding. For everyone's safety, we have to be careful." The people in the team basically recognized Zhang Ruiyang and the children, as well as Dudu squatting on the roof. In addition, Zhang Yi and Nan Shao had special appearances, and it was difficult to forget them once they saw them. Most people knew that they had a special relationship with Li Muran, so they explained it.

Walking along the way, there were sentries on the roof of each car, with the barrels of the guns facing the mutant forests on both sides of the road to prevent anything from approaching from both sides. Walking further, you can see people sitting around the fire to rest. Seeing a few children and teenagers coming, those people were a little surprised, but they still smiled and greeted them, and teased Zhang Ruiyang a few words.

Farther away, the battle was going on, with swords and axes, and super powers all unleashed. Zombies were falling one after another, covering the muddy snow. As time went by in the apocalypse, even those who had not awakened had undergone subtle changes in their bodies. Although they were still far behind those with super powers, their eyesight and hearing were much sharper. Therefore, even though they were hundreds of meters away, Zhang Yi could still see at a glance the meat tower Chen and others who were back to back, working together to kill the zombies.

There were 500 people in the Zhang County battlefield. Because it was closest to the convoy base camp, it was convenient to retreat and seek help. In addition, due to the limitation of the venue, there were more than 200 fewer people in the arrangement than in the other two battlefields. Song Yan led the team personally. Song Yan divided the people into five groups of 100 people each. Every two groups took turns to go on the field together. The remaining group was responsible for luring the zombies and cleaning up the zombie bodies. The five groups took turns so that everyone in each group could get enough rest.

Li Muran was also there, and she naturally formed a team with meat tower Chen and the others. Everyone had cooperated before, and now there was just one more person, Xu Jing. She was originally a person who could cooperate with others very well. She might be a little uncomfortable at the beginning, but it didn't take long for several people to cooperate very well. Song Yan did stare at her a few times, but in the end he didn't keep her by his side, probably because he felt that apart from her superpowers, her skills were still too poor. In his opinion, superpowers are the last choice after all, used to save lives, and strengthening one's own strength is the fundamental. He had feelings for her, but he didn't want to turn her into his appendage. Things in the world are unpredictable. He has the ability to protect her, but he can't protect her anytime and anywhere, especially in this end of the world. Depriving her of the opportunity to enhance her abilities is no different from indirect murder. So even if he was a little unhappy, he still restrained his overbearing temper.

When there were no more zombies standing in front and the zombie killers were walking back, the group responsible for finishing off the zombies and cleaning up the corpses to collect the crystal cores immediately split into two groups. Most of them began to clean up the battlefield and collect the zombie corpses to burn. The other group, which consisted of only a few people, drove two cars to lure the zombies a few miles away, and then used the earth-based ability to build a wall to cut off the zombie tide, and the other two groups of people who had rested for a while to clean up.

They did not dare to get too close to the zombie tide, in case of unexpected situations that they could not respond in time, so they would rather use this method of nibbling away at them piece by piece to weaken the number of zombies.

Chapter 244 Fighting Fighting

"Hey, Brother Yi, you're back?" Meat Tower Chen, who had just come down from the battlefield, saw Zhang Yi and the others and greeted them from a distance with a big grin.

When he got closer, he carefully looked the two energetic people up and down, and couldn't help but sighed twice, smiling ambiguously, "It's different to take a vacation." Then he suddenly turned to Xu Jing on his left and said with a grin, "How about, Sister Xu Jing, let's go collect some supplies?"

Hearing his words, Jie Chen and Shi Pengsan, who were closest to them, subconsciously stepped aside a few steps, but Xu Jing didn't react violently like before, but replied expressionlessly, "Okay."

Meat Tower Chen, who had been prepared to be kicked in the butt, was stunned for a moment, and then shuddered, "Boss, I... I'm kidding, you're not serious, are you?"

"Tomorrow." Xu Jing said lightly as if she didn't hear what he said.

Meat Tower Chen sucked in a breath of cold air with a hissing sound, as if he was about to be raped. He looked at Xu Jing fearfully, and without even a polite word, he quickly ran away, shaking his fat body that was already very thin.

Seeing his dejected look, everyone laughed. As for why the children came, no one asked. Everyone had been together for a long time and knew each other's thoughts to some extent.

"The mutant plant forest has grown completely in the past two days, and the situation in the base has improved a lot." Li Muran and Nan Shao roughly told the two about what happened in the past few days when they were away. Everything else was expected, but this change made people alert. "But the mutant beasts seem to be a little confused and started to attack each other. We guess that it may be that they cannot catch enough humans as food, so they shifted their targets to their own kind." "Are there any signs of

those mutant beasts dispersing?" Zhang Yi immediately grasped the key point. Since they began to break the principle of not attacking each other because of hunger, it should be a matter of time before they disperse. After all, mutant beasts are different from zombies. It is impossible for them to be alive and kicking without eating for a long time.

"Not yet." Li Muran shook her head. Ever since the mutant beasts started killing each other, she has been paying attention to the situation near the base to avoid being caught off guard. Song Yan even forbade her to use up her supernatural powers early every day. You know, the battlefield is now scattered. Once the mutant beasts disperse, if the people in the other two battlefields cannot be notified in time to retreat to the safe area, it may cause unpredictable losses.

Hearing that they were prepared, Zhang Yi didn't say anything more.

Before they could talk for a few words, the engine roared on the bend in the distance, and the two cars that went out to lead the corpses appeared in everyone's sight with a pile of corpses. The people who were originally sitting by the fire picked up their weapons and prepared to go to the battlefield, while the people who had just fought before occupied the fire while talking with a relaxed expression.

"Come with me." After Zhang Yi greeted Song Yan, he turned back and said to the children.

Yun Hao and Wu Qing's faces, which were already a little pale, became even paler. In such a cold weather, there was a faint sweat on their foreheads. On the contrary, the younger ones looked eager to try.

Routa Chen and the others also stood up and wanted to follow them just in case, but Zhang Yi shook his head and refused: "Nan Shao and I are enough, you guys take the time to rest."

According to Song Yan's meaning, everyone should be in the best condition at any time to deal with emergencies. So each group was only allowed to rest after killing a round of zombies. Therefore, for those who have experienced countless long battles, a round of battle is just the beginning of the activity. In the case that the mutant beasts may leave the base at any time, this can indeed ensure that the team is in the strongest combat power at any time.

Zhang Yi did not want to break this situation just because he brought the children out for training. Moreover, too much protection would make people dependent and unable to arouse bloody fighting spirit, so he and Nan Shao were all fine. He even concealed the fact that Nan Shao could treat zombie scratches and bites, just to let the children do their best to adapt to the battle with zombies.

Understanding what he meant, Routa Chen and the others no longer insisted, but still unconsciously walked closer.

At this time, two off-road vehicles had already roared through the road that everyone had made way for, without waiting for the zombies to catch up. Being so close, the smell of people and the various noises that were not deliberately suppressed were enough for the zombies to catch up. Twenty earth-type mutants, escorted by wood-type mutants, hid in the mutant forest. After a considerable number of zombies had passed, they found a place with fewer zombies and exerted their strength at the same time. In the blink of an eye, a wall of earth with a width of five meters and a height of four meters rose up to cut off the flow of zombies, and then quickly retreated. There

were thousands of zombies that were cut off, and because the width of the road was limited, it seemed very crowded. Since the heavy rain, they can run like ordinary people. Although they have not evolved after more than half a year except for a very small number of mutant zombies, it still looks quite shocking to see thousands of zombies running over like this. Those who run slowly will be knocked down by those who run fast behind them, and then countless feet will trample on them. However, even so, they will not fight or riot with each other, but always keep their eyes on the place with fresh people in front.

Seeing this scene, not to mention Wu Qingyunhao's breathing becoming more and more rapid, even Fu Dan and others became a little nervous. In other words, people who have been on the battlefield for a long time can still remain calm, holding weapons in hand, waiting for the moment of attack.

The place here is too narrow. If the attackers are people, it will be easier to defend. But if it is replaced by zombies who are not afraid of death or pain, and are highly contagious to humans, and such a fierce and dense attack, it is not conducive to group fighting and defense. If they are allowed to rush to the front, it is likely to be a crushing like a herd of elephants. Therefore, the team adopted the method of having the superpowers attack from a distance, forming a superpower blockade line, blocking the zombies fifty meters away, and those who escaped were killed by some of the unawakened people in front of the superpowers. When the superpowers of the superpowers were almost consumed, some zombies were cleared and the distance between them was widened, so that they were no longer as dense as at the beginning. At this time, they rushed up in groups, found the target, and either cooperated with a few people or fought alone to fight the zombies in close combat.

Zhang Yi and Nan Shao, with a few children, stood behind the superpowers like most of the unawakened people, calmly watching the fireballs, ice arrows, wind blades, lightning and other superpowers like gorgeous but murderous fireworks falling among the zombies, without any emotional fluctuations. The few children who were originally a little nervous were stunned by this spectacular scene. Only Yun Hao and Wu Qing's legs were shaking uncontrollably, and their whole bodies were as tense as strings.

When the superpowers retreated and the shouts of killing rang out, Wu Qing felt as if something in his brain had suddenly snapped, and his body involuntarily followed the crowd and rushed out, until the ugly and twisted face of a zombie clearly appeared in his eyes. A huge fear rose from the bottom of his heart, and he screamed like crazy, slashing the knife in his hand in front of him randomly, but it did not cause any damage to the zombie. Just as he was about to be caught by the zombie, a foot suddenly stretched out from the side, kicked the zombie away, and hit another zombie that pounced on him. The two fell and rolled together, and Wu Qing was grabbed by the collar and pulled out of the battlefield.

"Calm down." Zhang Yi's voice sounded, calm, composed, and revealing a gentle but firm strength, penetrating the mist of fear that covered the five senses, and Wu Qing, who was in a frenzy, finally stopped screaming. He looked around blankly, only to find that the other few people who came with him did not move.

"Did I kill it?" He felt as if all his strength had been used up. His legs softened and he sat on the ground. However, he still remembered that he was chopping zombies just now. He couldn't help asking in a hoarse voice.

Yun Hao's face was pale and sweaty, as if he had just gone up to kill like Wu Qing. Even Zhang Ruiyang and others were frightened by his crazy state. They stood there in a daze and forgot to rush forward.

"Kill it." Zhang Yi patted him on the shoulder and smiled.

Wu Qing's eyes lit up. Although he couldn't stand up yet, the fear in his heart seemed to have subsided a lot. Just as he was about to find the zombie he had killed on the battlefield, Zhang Yi spoke again: "Don't worry."

This sentence was not only said to Wu Qing, but also to Yun Hao.

"Be brave, be careful, and be calm. You have to remember these points. Killing zombies comes second, but you must protect yourself first." Zhang Yi said to them calmly, "You two should stay here and watch how others kill. Yangyang, you guys go up and kill outside, don't go inside." He knew from Li Muran that Fu Dan and his friends could kill zombies. On the way here, he saw that the children were not afraid, so he wanted to let them go up and give it a try. As for Yun Hao, it seemed that he could not move his legs at the moment, so he decided to let him get used to it first.

When the little ones heard that they could finally go up, they couldn't help but respond happily, and then ran to the battlefield more than ten meters away. Among them, Zhang Ruiyang ran the fastest.

The little guy was holding the dagger that Qiao Yong had given him, and was later strengthened by Shi Pengsan and Song Yan in turn. The small figure was as nimble as an ape, wandering around the crowd of people who were fighting. He soon found his target, and with a light flip, he gently kicked the waist of a zombie that was rushing towards a soldier fighting other zombies. The next moment, he had climbed onto the zombie's neck and hung it on its back. The dagger in his other hand pierced through its eye socket sharply and accurately, and fell to the ground before it fell, and then began to look for the next target.

"I... I'm... I'm..." Wu Qing, who was originally shocked to see Zhang Ruiyang rushing up and wanted to stop him, saw this scene, and changed from sitting to kneeling. He raised his hand as if he wanted to rub his eyes, but put it down again, muttering.

Yun Hao's legs also forgot to tremble, and he unconsciously took a step forward, as if he wanted to confirm whether he had seen it wrong.

The two teenagers remembered what the little guy said when they were in the car at the same time, and instantly felt that this world was a fantasy.

Not only them, but also Song Yan, who was giving instructions to his men, the people in the convoy who used to treat Yangyang as a treasure, and the others who joined later, except for those who didn't see it, were all stunned. At that moment, the entire battlefield seemed to stagnate for a moment, and then returned to normal.

"Yangyang seems to have improved more than before." Zhang Yi was certainly not surprised, but he was happy that his son not only did not become timid during the time they were apart, but his ability has greatly improved.

He and Nan Shao followed the children step by step. If they encountered a zombie that slipped through the net, they would kill it at will and chat leisurely.

With Zhang Ruiyang's good start, Fu Dan and the other two were not to be outdone, and each had their own gains. Fu Dan had learned to kill zombies when he was with Li Muran. Later, he practiced what the sick ghost taught him, and his right hand was fully restored. When killing zombies, he could be as fast and neat as an adult. Li Yuanzhuo and Wu Ziran, who used to need to use ropes and traps to kill zombies together, have also made great progress. Li Yuanzhuo was very calm. Because of his height, he couldn't cut the zombie's neck, so he tried to lead the zombie to a relatively open place, and then cut off its two arms that could hurt people, and then rolled on the ground to trip it and take its head. As for Wu Ziran, she ran and screamed as usual, causing a group of zombies to chase her. In the end, they all fell down the slope outside the road and were entangled by mutant plants. She crawled to the side and poked them with a knife from a distance. She actually killed several of them, and her efficiency was higher than others.

Chapter 245: Continue the Fight

Cheers rang out, and those who were resting gathered together.

"I didn't expect the little guys to be so awesome!"

"Yeah, especially the youngest one. He's so agile that I'm afraid I can't even compare to him."

"That's Yangyang. See, that mutant insect beast is his. At the beginning, these two were so bold as to run away from the convoy and wandered outside for a month. We were so anxious, but the little guy didn't get hurt at all and even found his dad. With this ability, killing a few zombies is nothing?"

"Damn! Do you have to be so exaggerated? Does he have any special abilities? Like Li Muran. Or is he a mutant? Let me see... is it a mutation of speed, agility, or strength?"

"It doesn't seem so. Tsk! Don't make a fuss. There are so many powerful people in our convoy. Do you know that sick man who is dying?"

"I haven't seen him. He is dying, and the convoy still brought him?"

"Tsk, you're just surprised by what you've seen... But you've only been in the team for a few days, and he stays in the house all day long. It's normal that you haven't seen him before. Hehe, you'll know after a while. I tell you, you can provoke anyone, but don't provoke that person."

"What do you mean? Didn't you just say that the man was sick and dying?"

"Oh! What do you mean by sick? He just looks like it. Anyway, he has been with the team for several months, without food or water, and he hasn't died. Do you see these kids in front of you? I don't know what they were like before, but there was a period of time when they were taught by that sick ghost..." There

were gasps around, and they were basically all people from the Yunzhou base. They were seriously injured and dying at the time, and they were still confused when Li Muran took them to Hulugou, but when the team's healing ability users pulled them back from the brink of death, they were grateful. Later, when they killed zombies with the team, they felt unprecedented ease and safety, so they couldn't help but think about staying in the team. Now seeing several children so brave and fearless, and outstanding in skills, and a strange man who has never been seen before but is extremely mysterious, plus Nan Shao and Zhang Yi who follow the children to protect them, Li Muran who rescued them, and the team's attitude towards newcomers, although not enthusiastic, but not bullying, all these things make them want to stay more and more strongly. Besides, they have no relatives or friends, so when they were injured, no one took care of them, and they were gathered together by Yun Hao and then brought out by Li Muran. So even if they don't return to the Yunzhou base in the future, it shouldn't matter.

No one knew that the scene of several children killing zombies would have such an effect, but the onlookers began to look at them differently because of the children's outstanding performance, and even felt that it was not a bad thing to take in more children. After all, children are indispensable for human development, otherwise the current strength is just a castle built of sand and soil, and there is no future to speak of.

Song Yan stopped discussing things with his men, stood up straight, looked at Zhang Ruiyang and others, his eyes were deep, and I don't know what he was thinking. Li Muran, Routa Chen and others were smiling, and their expressions showed no disguising their pride. Only Xu Jing, who came later, was somewhat surprised by the agility and strength of the little guy who was not even as tall as her legs.

Just as everyone was thinking differently, the battle was over.

There were thousands of zombies and two hundred fighters. After a small number of them were initially killed by the psychics, the number of zombies each person had to deal with was less than five. This was not difficult for those who had been fighting for a long time. Not to mention the others, even Wu Ziran, who had just entered the game, had already dealt with this number. On the contrary, Zhang Ruiyang, Fu Dan, Li Yuanzhuo and others who were more skilled, because they had to find the target and remembered Zhang Yi's instructions, did not dare to go too deep into the battlefield, but killed less.

From the beginning to the end of the battle, it took less than half an hour, and all the zombies fell. The people who participated in the battle did not retreat immediately, but patrolled the field where they had just fought, and then finished off the zombies that were not completely dead. The earth-type supernaturalist ran to the place where the zombies were blocked before, lowered the earth wall, filled the pit formed by the lack of soil on the other side, and buried the zombies that fell into the pit. The zombies that had not retreated immediately rushed over. Although the number was not as many as those intercepted at the beginning, there were still hundreds. So a new round of war broke out.

Ten minutes later, the battlefield finally returned to calm. The people who were fighting began to retreat, and the team responsible for miscellaneous tasks took over and prepared to clean up the zombies' bodies and crystal cores. In the absence of mutant zombies, such a battle would hardly cause casualties because of good control.

Several children came back with a smile. Although they were sweating profusely, they were in good spirits and looked like they could continue to fight. However, they soon blushed in the thumbs up and praises and encouragements from the crowd, and shyly hid behind Zhang Yi and Nan Shao. Fu Dan was older, so he didn't hide, but his ears were red and his eyes were full of joy.

Later, Yun Hao and Wu Qing, who had been watching from the side, were both envious and frustrated. At the same time, they also had an urge to be impatient, wishing that they could also chop zombies as easily as chopping watermelons like their younger brothers and sisters.

"Wait a minute, you guys go up, is that okay?" Zhang Yi asked the two uneasy teenagers, stroking his son's little head who was leaning against him.

"No problem." Perhaps inspired, Yun Hao and Wu Qing did not hesitate this time, nodded and agreed loudly.

Zhang Yi nodded, said no more, and did not teach them how to kill zombies. How to kill zombies is something everyone knows, but how to kill them, you have to figure it out yourself. As for systematically learning close-range chopping movements, cramming at the last minute is not a good idea. Not only is it useless, but it will also restrict your hands and feet. You can only wait until you have time to go back and teach them slowly.

Cleaning up the corpses of zombies will take a lot of time. It takes a long time to burn hundreds of corpses. If they are not handled in time, the piled up corpses will be a big trouble. Moreover, the crystal cores must be collected and then distributed. Otherwise, the superpowers will not be able to recover their superpowers in a short time.

When the fire and smoke rose, the vehicles that lure the zombies set off again.

The corpses turned into ashes, and a tornado arose, blowing the ashes to the mutant forests on both sides. In the end, only pearl-like crystal cores were left in place. A dense layer, flowing with a milky white halo, looked quite luxurious.

More than a thousand crystal cores were not much, and they could be put in a large backpack, but the corpses they represented could be piled up into a small mountain. People have long lost their feelings about this, because those things were only human beings in the past, but now they are cannibalistic monsters and enemies of mankind. People want to eradicate them and rebuild their homes, so how can they have the mind to sympathize with them?

The sound of engines in the distance, another round of battle is about to begin.

Bang! Wu Qing's machete got stuck in the zombie's neck and he couldn't pull it out. He panicked and let go and turned around to run. After running two steps, he realized that this wouldn't work. He looked back and saw the zombie with a knife stuck in its neck chasing him. He gritted his teeth, squatted down suddenly, grabbed the zombie's ankles and lifted them up.

Bang! Dust flew, and the zombie fell heavily to the ground with its back to the sky. The original ho-ho low roar stopped, and its head rolled to the side. It was because the back of the machete hit the ground when it fell, which was equivalent to a heavy hammer. It actually hit the machete and cut its neck directly.

Wu Qing was dumbfounded. He obviously didn't expect his luck to be so good. He reacted after a moment and became excited. However, he still carefully leaned forward to pick up the knife that had fallen on the ground. He poked the headless corpse and saw that it was indeed no longer moving. He was about to turn back to look at Zhang Yi Nanshao happily when he heard Zhang Yi's voice: "Pay attention to the zombie's head and give it another knife."

Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, and as instructed, he used the knife to pick up the zombie's head to the front. Seeing that the zombie's mouth was still opening and closing, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly took the knife to chop it, but the knife got stuck again. Fortunately, it was just a head. He lifted it up with the knife, and then knocked it hard on the ground a few times. The knife finally penetrated the skull and completely solved it.

Zhang Yi, who had been following him, couldn't help but smile when he saw this. Although the boy's movements in killing zombies were very clumsy, he had a good start after all. As for the skills, he would be able to figure them out after a few more times. With them around, they might not be able to do more things, but it would be no problem to provide a safe space for these children to grow up.

On the other side, Yun Hao was flustered because it was his first time facing zombies. He didn't pay attention to his feet and tripped to the ground, and then was pressed by the zombies that pounced on him. At this time, he was supporting the zombie's chin with one hand, trying his best to prevent it from biting him. As for the zombie's hand tearing his clothes, he didn't care. With his mind blank, he didn't care whether it was useful or not. He just used the other hand holding the knife to stab the zombie's belly, so that its intestines and internal organs fell all over him. The onlookers could hardly bear to watch it, but Nan Shao, who was responsible for protecting him, did not move and forbade others to help.

Cold sweat soaked into the boy's temples along his forehead. His originally handsome face became extremely ferocious. He suddenly shouted, avoided the zombie's claws with the knife in his hand, and slashed it hard on the neck. I don't know if this knife was slashed out in despair, but it actually cut the zombie's neck in one go, leaving only a layer of flesh and skin, and the head drooped to one side. The hand that was against the zombie's chin suddenly broke into the air, and the zombie seemed to lose power and fell heavily on the boy, almost vomiting out the food he had eaten in the morning.

The boy lay on the ground with his hands wide open, staring at the gloomy sky with red eyes, his chest heaving rapidly, and it took a while for him to catch his breath, gritted his teeth and pushed the zombie's body on him aside. He knelt up panting, picked up the knife and stabbed it straight into the zombie's open mouth, piercing the skull base.

"Good job!" Nan Shao's cold voice came into his ears, Yun Hao raised his head and grinned.

The boy's clothes were tattered and his body was covered with zombies' blood. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked as miserable as a beggar, but he looked more pleasing to the eyes than ever before. In

the whole battle, the two boys only killed one zombie each, but no one looked down on them for this. When they came down from the battlefield with the others, they still received cheers from the crowd. The red faces of the two were not obvious under the stains, but their bright eyes and straight backs showed their excitement.

Although it was just an ordinary zombie, not many, nor a mutant zombie, let alone a mutant creature, it had extraordinary significance for the two boys who had always relied on others for protection, because it meant that they had finally embarked on the road to independence. Even if they only took half a step, there were still countless difficulties waiting for them.

"Think about how to use force to prevent the knife from getting stuck, and what went wrong in the previous battle. You don't need to do it in the next battle. Watch carefully how others kill zombies." Zhang Yi handed the crystal core dug out from the heads of the two zombies to the two and said. He also called Zhang Ruiyang and others away to prevent them from disturbing the two, and then took away the broken knives of the two and went to find Shi Pengsan to repair and strengthen them.

Holding the crystal core that they had worked so hard to get, Wu Qing and Yun Hao looked at each other, and then smiled foolishly at each other. Even with Zhang Yi's instructions, it was still difficult for them to calm down the excitement of killing zombies and think about the messy battle just now. But when they set their eyes on Zhang Ruiyang and others who had already entered the battlefield, and saw their agility and their ruthless, accurate and quick movements without any superfluous or wasted moves, the slight sense of pride that had just risen up in their hearts instantly disappeared, and their hearts of joy and excitement seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water. They finally calmed down, and began to calmly compare themselves with others and learn from their experiences, but they had a deeper understanding than before they went into battle.

Chapter 246 Uninvited Guests

For the next half month, except for the occasional appearance of one or two mutant zombies, the clearing activities were almost peaceful. The children were making progress every day. After obtaining the consent of Bing Gui, Fu Dan publicly disclosed his method of absorbing dark and filthy air to change his physique in the motorcade. Jie Chen was not private either, and he presented the skills left by his ancestors. Even the Five Animals Exercises practiced by Zhang Ruiyang were well known. However, except for the skills created by Bing Gui, the other two were difficult to see the effect, especially the Five Animals Exercises. Except for Zhang Ruiyang, no one else could practice it, including the youngest Wu Lan. So everyone finally chose the former to practice. Of course, those who practiced were basically unawakened.

On this day, it snowed heavily, and two uninvited guests came to Hulugou. A young man and a donkey, without a car, came on foot.

Such a combination is as conspicuous as Dudu flying in the sky with Zhang Ruiyang in the current world, so the guards at the outpost at the exit of Hulugou immediately became alert and quickly passed the news to the guards stationed in the camp.

"Don't be nervous, this donkey is not a mutant animal." The young man noticed the tense body of the soldier in the high outpost and stopped with a chuckle. His expression was indifferent and unintentional arrogance, which was obviously formed by being in a superior position for a long time. Just like Song Yan, just like Nan Shao. "I heard that someone here can enter the Yunzhou base, I... Tsk!"

Before the young man finished speaking, the donkey had already started to bump against the closed door, as if something inside was attracting it. In addition to the surprise, it was immediately embarrassed. He spread his hands helplessly to the sentry and tried to explain: "This thing is not..." It's not his, it doesn't listen at all.

"It's my friend." A slightly unfamiliar man's voice inside the gate interrupted the young man's words and stopped the sentry from launching an attack.

The voice may be unfamiliar, but when several sentinels turned around and saw the thin and weak figure that looked like it could be blown down by the wind, they immediately recognized him. It was the sick ghost who rarely showed up and talked to people, but everyone in the convoy knew him.

Seeing him, the sentinels subconsciously stood at attention and saluted, and then realized that the other party was not their superior. They felt a little embarrassed, but they did not show it on their faces. They just opened the door immediately and let the young man and the donkey in. Obviously, they thought that the friend the sick ghost was talking about was the young man.

Before the door was completely opened, the big blue donkey rushed in and went straight to the sick ghost not far away, then rubbed against him, and called out coquettishly, without any arrogance. The young man who came in later saw this scene and suddenly felt a toothache. It followed me all the way with a shameless face. I don't know how many dangers it has blocked. It didn't let me touch it. I thought it was like this by nature, but I didn't know that it ran to others to flatter. Is it so shameless?

"Ahem... did he throw you in here too?" The sick ghost ignored the young man who was emitting a strong resentment, stroked the big blue donkey's head, and asked in a low voice.

The donkey cried a lot, and its clear big eyes were full of tears. The sick ghost wiped it away very gently with his palm, scratched its ears, and then turned back. He didn't need to shout, the donkey followed him step by step.

"It doesn't matter if the root veins are destroyed, as long as you are alive... Ahem... No matter what his reason is, in the future... Ahem, I will leave him a way out..." said the sick ghost.

I don't know if the donkey understood what he said, it cried loudly, and then suddenly bit his sleeve and pulled it.

The sick ghost turned around and saw that the donkey suddenly opened its mouth, the donkey's lips turned up, the white teeth were exposed, and the throat muscles contracted for a while. The next moment, several shiny stones fell to the ground. Each one was as big as a fist, flowing with strange brilliance, as if covered by fairy mist.

"Huh? There are treasures hidden here, what are they?" The young man who followed them and had no time to speak saw it and was slightly surprised. He took a quick step and bent down to pick up the stone to study it carefully.

He moved quickly and unexpectedly. This was his usual way of doing things when he saw something good, and he had never missed it. However, this time, he watched the man pick up the stones. His movements were not hurried or slow, and he was quite calm, but with his skills, he could not even touch the edge. For a moment, he even thought that the other party had pressed his acupoints, otherwise how could such a strange thing happen. Unfortunately, his body was in motion, and he also clearly felt that his speed was not slow, so the only explanation was that the man was too fast, so fast that people had the illusion of slowness.

"Thank you very much for sending Daqing here, but this original crystal is very important to me, I'm sorry I can't give it to you." The sick ghost put away the stones, then turned his eyes to the young man and said lightly.

The young man put his outstretched hand back into his pocket and twirled his fingers. He knew that he might not be able to snatch it by force, so he simply gave up the idea for the time being and asked with a smile: "What is the original crystal? What is its use?"

The sick ghost stared at him for a moment, then suddenly turned around and left, without any intention of answering the two questions just now. Da Qing raised his head, looked at the young man arrogantly, as if laughing at his ignorance, and then followed him with a clatter of hooves.

Damn! The young man cursed in his heart, and felt more and more that the stone must be a treasure. He was not willing to give it up like this, so he hurriedly took a few steps to catch up, "My name is Leng Fengchen, what's your name, buddy?"

Leng Fengchen, 20 years old, from Beijing, just graduated from university before the end of the world, and took the civil service exam in Zhongzhou. He originally applied for a civil servant in a municipal unit in Chang City, but later he was kicked to a township family planning office in Ziyun County for some reason. He didn't care, and went to report with his gift. He looks like a person in a painting. Although he seems nonchalant to everyone, he has a noble aura in his bones, which naturally attracts women. Of course, the more women like him, the more men hate him. In addition, if someone else were to do his job, they would definitely have to run away after just a few days. But he managed to hold on until the apocalypse broke out. As for how it felt, probably only he knew it.

After the apocalypse broke out, he was not in a hurry to leave Ziyun and return to the capital. He still lived a leisurely life like before the apocalypse, until he felt that it was boring to stay any longer, so he packed his bags and embarked on the journey of the apocalypse. He was very sure that if he ran back home at the beginning of the apocalypse, his grandfather would definitely break his legs. It would be better for him to hang out outside for a few more days.

"Sick ghost." This time the sick ghost answered. In fact, if Li Muran or Zhang Ruiyang asked about Yuan Jing, he would answer without reservation. However, the person in front of him was not simple, and there should be a huge force behind him. Although he was not afraid, he did not want to cause trouble for the team, so he chose to remain silent.

Leng Fengchen choked, and finally found that there were people in the world who were more arrogant than him. He was not annoyed. He took two quick steps and walked side by side with Binggui. Because Binggui walked slowly, he had to suppress his walking speed. "Binggui, I heard that someone here can enter the Yunzhou base. Is it true?" It turned out that he met someone from the team in Longren and found out about the Yunzhou base. He wanted to go into the base to take a look. At the same time, he was also very interested in the ability to cross long distances in an instant, so he found this place.

"Yes."

"Hey, I said, I served as a bodyguard for your donkey all the way, and you just said thank you and that's it?" Leng Fengchen has always been the only one who takes advantage of others, and no one has ever let him suffer. He had always tolerated the donkey following him and taking shelter with him, just because he thought it was very intelligent and thought that he would kidnap it sooner or later. Now he found out that it already had an owner, and this owner was also very cold. He only answered one question after three questions, and he spoke one word at a time, which could make people angry. He was not willing to work for nothing, so he simply did not ask about other things, but asked for payment directly.

Hearing this, the sick ghost finally set his sights on him again.

"First of all, I can accompany you to the Yunzhou base. Secondly... ahem... I have a man from Wuzong here. He was captured for attacking the people in the convoy and is now a forced laborer. I can let him go..." The reason why he had to accompany him personally was mainly to prevent the other party from holding Li Muran hostage by force. As for Yuan Jinshu, his greatest use to the people in the convoy was to have a way to prevent the injured from turning into zombies, but that method was extremely clumsy for him. If he dared to let him go, he would naturally have a way to compensate the convoy in other ways, and he would definitely make sure that they would feel satisfied.

"A man from Wuzong? What's his name?" Leng Fengchen was a little uneasy.

However, the sick ghost did not answer him and continued his words, "Ahem... In addition, I see that there are some problems with the martial arts you are practicing, and I can help you make some corrections. But you can only choose one between releasing people and correcting the martial arts." If

it weren't for the sick ghost showing off his skills when he was snatching the original crystal, Leng Fengchen would definitely think that he had met a psychopath when he heard this. Of course, he didn't believe the other party at the moment, and just thought that the sick ghost was talking nonsense. After all, he had never shown his kung fu from beginning to end, and the other party was not a god, so how could he see that there was something wrong with his practice? Moreover, his practice was taught to him by his grandfather himself, and passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation by the ancestors. It has never been lost and has stood the test of time. If there were any problems, someone should have seen it long ago, but no one has ever heard of it. Therefore, he couldn't help but suspect that the other party had ulterior motives.

"Tell me, what's wrong with my practice?" He sneered in his heart, but asked.

How could the sick ghost not see the sneer in his eyes, but he didn't care, and said lightly: "The skills you learned, if you practiced to the extreme, you could abandon the mortal world and enter the Tao, half a step to the true immortal... cough cough... but then some parts were tampered with, so that... cough cough... no matter how hard you work, you can only stop at... the mortal realm, and there is no possibility of entering the Tao."

"True immortal?" Leng Fengchen raised his slender eyebrows and sneered. Obviously, he didn't believe in immortals or gods. Even if there was a record in the sect that a certain generation of ancestors broke through the void and left, it was just a legend beautified by later generations to him, just as absurd as ascending to enlightenment and becoming a Buddha in broad daylight. The

sick ghost touched the big blue head that leaned over to nod at him, and while he was talking, he had already arrived at the room where he lived. It was not until the two of them went in that he sat on the sofa, took a breath, and spoke again: "You can choose." He didn't intend to explain too much, and he didn't care whether the other party believed it or not. He just wanted to solve this matter as soon as possible.

Da Qing sniffed and rubbed around in the room, seeming to be annoyed by the narrow space. He kicked over a lot of things and finally stood behind the sofa where the sick ghost sat, sticking his big head out from the back of the sofa. If someone who didn't know came in, they would definitely be scared at first sight.

"I want it." Leng Fengchen found a single sofa and sat down. He didn't follow the sick ghost's words, but pointed at the arrogant donkey and said.

Da Qing obviously understood human words. Upon hearing this, before the sick ghost spoke, it rolled its eyes, stretched its neck, turned up its lips, and made a few puffs, spraying saliva all over the face of the young man who was sitting not far away.

Damn, this stupid donkey! Leng Fengchen was caught off guard and jumped up from the sofa. Even though he didn't have mysophobia, he still had the urge to kill Da Qing and eat his meat.

"Ahem..." The sick ghost showed a trace of helplessness, patted Da Qing's head, then raised his chin slightly and nodded, "There is paper there. Da Qing is my partner, I can't give it to others. You change the conditions."

Leng Fengchen knew that this was impossible, but he just wanted to piss off the ungrateful donkey. Who knew that he would be unlucky in the end? He took out the paper and wiped his face carefully, but he still felt a stink. Finally, he couldn't stand it and went to find water to wash his face. Only then did he feel better.

The sick ghost watched from beginning to end without saying a word. In fact, Da Qing is a spiritual creature, and he doesn't eat ordinary food. His saliva doesn't smell bad, but such behavior would make anyone unhappy, so the other party's disgust is completely understandable.

"If you practice according to the method you revised, can you ascend to become an immortal?" Sitting back on the sofa, but this time he chose the farthest seat, Leng Fengchen skipped the donkey's question and continued the previous topic.

"Become an immortal?" The sick ghost was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and shook his head, "It's just leaving the mortal realm... ahem... embarking on the path of cultivation, it can't be considered as becoming an immortal... but for ordinary people, being able to fly and hide is also an immortal,

right?" Hearing this, Leng Fengchen still frowned, as if he didn't believe it, but his waist unconsciously sat up straight. However, the sick ghost stopped, closed his eyes, and his chest rose and fell obviously, as if he had used up all his strength just saying those few words. Leng Fengchen wanted to ridicule him for having the nerve to teach others to cultivate immortality with his physique, but for some reason, thinking of the scene of picking up the original crystal before, he didn't say it after all.

After a short rest, the sick ghost continued: "Now this place is refined and sealed. Even if you practice the skills I revised and reach the top level... cough cough... you can't break through the air to other realms, but you can prolong your life. Once this place is unblocked before the end of your life, you can immediately break through the space barrier... cough cough cough cough... go to a place suitable for cultivation... Becoming an immortal or a god depends on each person's aptitude and opportunity... and the degree of effort, which cannot be created by skills."

Leng Fengchen felt like he was listening to a fairy tale. He opened his mouth and couldn't even say a sarcastic word. He began to wonder if he was too lucky to help the psychopath donkey find its psychopath owner.

This was not the first time that the sick ghost had seen this kind of eyes. When he talked to Li Muran about the reason why the base was surrounded, although Li Muran tried her best to restrain her face, her expression still showed her disapproval. And Yuan Jinshu, who was listening next to him, had an even more exaggerated reaction. He had no regrets, nor anger, but just a sigh. The environment determines the vision of human beings. He could not and had no intention to force them to open their eyes to see the world outside this cage. That kind of vastness may only exist in the imagination and legends of the people here.

In the end, Leng Fengchen made no choice, and he did not even ask the name of the captured Wu Zongren. Perhaps he had completely regarded the sick ghost as a madman. In order to wait for Li Muran to come back, and not wanting to be in the same space with a madman, he had to go out and knock ice cubes on the frozen river in Hulugou, waiting for the return of the outgoing convoy.

So the sick ghost and his old friend Daqing finally got a precious space to be alone. You know, when the convoy comes back, the children will come back with them, and then the house will be full of people.

Although Daqing kept urging, the sick ghost still didn't want to use the original crystal, even if it was very good for his body.

"This can only make me feel better... cough cough... It can't repair the broken spiritual root, it's a pity to use it... Maybe we have to rely on it to leave..."

Da Qing can't speak now, let alone transform into a human form, but the sick ghost can understand its cry, after all, it is an old partner who has been together for tens of thousands of years. He learned from it that Qin Xuan destroyed its demon pill, so now except for life span and wisdom, there is no difference between it and an ordinary donkey. This is also the reason why it wants to follow Leng Fengchen.

He and Da Qing came from a place called God's Domain, which is not the same realm as this place. And because of the suppression of the rules of the realm, the people of the God's Domain were too powerful and could not come here. Until hundreds of years ago, the people of the God's Domain discovered a realm loophole in the ancient god battlefield, and this realm was connected to it. So the powerful people of the God's Domain regarded this place as a hunting ground, salvaged planets with life from the realm loophole, and then refined it into their own world of living beings. This kind of game relies on luck and strength, but the harvest is actually of no value to the people in the God's Domain. Even the Dark Beast King that Qin Xuan cultivated here is just a low-level slave beast in the God's Domain, and even the few pieces of raw stones that Da Qing brought him are not worth it. It's like fishing for humans, it's just a fun game.

Of course, this meaningless thing is just a diversion in the long and boring life of the God Realm. Unless it is a pervert like Qin Xuan, more people will soon forget this low-level interface. After all, in the God Realm where strength is respected and military action is often used, constantly enhancing one's own strength is the most important thing. Otherwise, one might be trampled underfoot or even die one day, and then the long life that has been cultivated with great difficulty will be wasted.

Qin Xuan is obviously a special case. He plays this game with great pleasure and refines dozens of living worlds. There are not many human worlds among them, and it seems that there are only a few. For this, the people in the God Realm, including the sick ghost, will only think that he is too boring, and no one will sympathize with the life on the refined planet, because the life in the low-level interface is to them like the meaning of ants to humans. Until he was plotted against by Qin Xuan, his spiritual roots were destroyed and he was thrown onto this newly refined planet. He saw that the humans on the wasteland did not succumb to the disaster, but stood up to resist. He saw their joys, sorrows, pain and hatred, helplessness and howling, mutual help and friendship. He gradually changed his mind about the creatures on this interface.

Qin Yan did not kill him directly, but threw Da Qing in. He was just sure that their roots were broken and they could not practice. He wanted to see them struggling in despair. If he had not practiced the body refining technique to the highest level of level nine, even if his body was damaged and dropped to level four, it would still be enough to protect himself here. Otherwise, this time with his spiritual roots damaged, he would probably be worse than ordinary children on the wasteland, and would be bullied by people. This was exactly what Qin Yan wanted. In fact, when he first arrived here, because there was no spiritual energy here, even he himself felt that he might be imprisoned here forever and could not turn over. He did not expect that in an unintentional deduction and divination at the Dongzhou base, he actually felt a glimmer of hope, which led to his leaving Dongzhou with Li Muran and others.

There is a not-too-big space bag in Daqing's stomach. This is natural to it and does not need spiritual energy to open it. When it was in the Great Thousand Worlds, it liked to put spiritual stones in it. After arriving in the Immortal World, it changed to putting immortal crystals. When it arrived in the God Realm, it began to put original crystals. In fact, it itself has no use. This is completely a habit developed when the man and the donkey were just practicing and were so poor that they treated even a piece of low-grade spiritual stone as a treasure for fear that it would be robbed. Qin Xuan did not know. Of course, even if he knew, he would not care. After all, a few pieces of original crystals were almost useless to him with a broken spiritual root.

Touching those pieces of original crystals, the sick ghost knew very well that with this, his hope of leaving here changed from zero to half. There was another half in the northwest direction. He could feel that there was something there that could repair his spiritual root. Apart from this, the remaining nine floors will probably fall on Zhang Ruiyang, the little kid.

Just as he was thinking about it, the sound of a car horn came from the ditch entrance, and a convoy returned. The sick ghost did not move, and there was no need for him to move, because there was nothing he could do for the time being. He felt that the matter of the Yunzhou base would probably be resolved soon, and Qin Xuan would not be bored enough to keep staring at this place, especially after the people at the base and the convoy found a way out. As for competing with mortals, unless he also participated, Qin Xuan would not lower himself to this point, just like an adult would not play with ants all the time. But before the end, there might be a big trouble.

The sound of children laughing and playing was getting closer and closer. His eyes fell on the open door and saw Zhang Ruiyang running in with Wu Lan, followed by the jumping Wu Ziran, and then the more calm Li Yuanzhuo, Fu Dan, and Wu Qing. Every day when they returned to the convoy, these children would run here for a circle, and he was a little used to it.

"Uncle Bing, hello... Hey, big horse!" Zhang Ruiyang was attracted by Daqing before he finished his routine greetings. Although the child could not tell the difference between a donkey and a horse, it did not affect his curiosity and excitement at all.

"Big horse, horse." Wu Lan's big eyes also lit up, but she refused to follow Zhang Ruiyang closer. Instead, she pulled back her little hands, hugged her chest and squatted on the ground, as if she was afraid of being pulled over.

"What horse? That's a donkey. I have a little donkey's little donkey..." Wu Ziran tilted his head and looked at it for a long time, and suddenly said, and then sang. "I have a little donkey, but I never ride it. One day, I had a sudden urge to ride it to the market. I had a small whip in my hand, and I was feeling proud. I don't know how, but I fell and got covered in mud..."

Zhang Ruiyang, who was about to run to Daqing, stopped when he heard the singing and looked at Wu Ziran in surprise. Wu Lan, who was squatting on the ground, had stars in her eyes. She raised her little head and looked at her big sister in admiration. When she heard the happy song, she also waved her little hands.

Li Yuanzhuo silently walked around Wu Ziran, walked into the house, stood next to Zhang Ruiyang and observed the donkey from a distance. Fu Dan and Wu Qing couldn't help laughing, and felt that as long as Wu Ziran was there, the atmosphere would hardly become heavy.

"Don't get any closer, the donkey will kick you." Zhang Ruiyang, who had turned his attention back, wanted to move forward, but was stopped by Li Yuanzhuo, who warned him seriously.

As soon as he finished speaking, Daqing cried out, and indeed pawed and kicked in protest, firmly refusing the children to approach.

The sick ghost suddenly found this scene quite interesting, and he changed from lying to sitting. He originally wanted to see Da Qing's joke, but he didn't expect that this move immediately attracted the attention of the children to him, and they all gathered around him.

"Uncle sick, are you feeling better?"

"Do you want some water? Are you hungry?"

"What do you want? I'll get it for you."

The children's concern for him started after he killed a mutant zombie in the camp in Gelao Township, provoking the remaining vitality in his body, impacting his broken spiritual roots and causing him to fall into a coma. After that, they kept an eye on his body. Although it was useless, his emotions were gradually affected and fluctuated.

"It's Da Qing, my friend, you can call it Da Qing...brother." He stopped the children from serving him too enthusiastically, and introduced his old partner to them, which was also a kind of recognition.

Hearing him speak, Da Qing, who had been holding his head high and looking at these human cubs in front of him with disdain, immediately swept away his arrogance, stretched his neck from behind the sofa, lowered it, and almost hit Zhang Ruiyang's face. Zhang Ruiyang's "Ah!" startled him unexpectedly, but he was not frightened. Instead, he giggled and stretched out his little hand to touch Daqing's nose tentatively.

"Brother Daqing... isn't he a big horse?" He didn't mind what he was called, and he shouted it out immediately, but the next sentence was to ask the sick ghost.

"Yeah." The sick ghost replied.

Zhang Ruiyang was a little disappointed. Perhaps it was the influence of TV. Children always have an extraordinary yearning and love for horses. They think it is very impressive to be able to ride a horse. As for donkeys... the little guy quickly recovered his spirits. It's okay to have a donkey without a horse, not to mention it's a beautiful donkey... brother.

"Can I ride it?" The little guy asked, and he had already started to climb onto the sofa.

Daqing's ears stood up all of a sudden, and he stepped back two steps, fearing that the child would really ride it for a few circles. How would this donkey ancestor survive in the future?

"No." The sick ghost said lightly. He regarded Daqing as a relative. Not to mention letting others ride it, even he himself had never ridden it again after building his foundation. Of course, the child in front of him was a child after all, and if Daqing was willing, he would not stop him.

"Oh." This time Zhang Ruiyang was really disappointed, but he was always sensible and would not pester him to achieve his goal. He just lay on the back of the sofa and looked at Daqing with envy. "So handsome..."

Daqing tilted his head to one side, pretending not to see the child's pitiful eyes. After a while, he tilted his head to the other side again, and his front hooves unconsciously dug on the ground. Suddenly, he stretched his head and turned his lips to reveal his big teeth, bit the child's clothes on his chest, picked him up in one go, and then walked out with a tap. It's not allowed to ride, but it should be no problem to take the little guy for a walk.

Everyone was dumbfounded, including the sick ghost, and Zhang Ruiyang didn't react until Daqing was about to step out of the door. He raised his hands and feet and struggled twice, but to no avail. He thought it was fun, so he calmed down and hummed the song that Wu Ziran had just sung.

"I have a little donkey, and I never ride it..." He learned quickly, but he only knew this sentence over and over again.

Da Qing's nose was almost bent by anger. If it were someone else, he would have been bitten. It was all because of the indulgence of the sick ghost, so it looked at the little guys differently.

While the children were circling around Da Qing like watching a peep show, Nan Shao and his group also bumped into Leng Fengchen, and they even exchanged a round of moves. Now the Tang sword that had been robbed was in Nan Shao's hand.

In fact, Leng Fengchen no longer remembered Nan Shao and his group. Or perhaps, he didn't see the appearance of the person he robbed at the beginning, and didn't think they could get the sword back, so he was attacked unexpectedly. As for Nan Shao, Nan Shao didn't care about the Tang sword, he cared about the man's face, so even if the sword was of little use to him, he still chose to take it back.

"The sword is mine. It has been with you for a long time. Now it's time to return it to its original owner." Looking at the young man with a cold face, Nan Shao said lightly. He was very angry when he lost the knife, but now that he got it back, he didn't feel excited at all. His only thought was that he had finally recovered the debt.

To his surprise, the young man, who had a cold face and a storm in his eyes, suddenly smiled when he heard this sentence, "So it's you. Since you have the ability to own it now, take it back." After saying that, he passed by several people who were tense and on alert. After walking a distance, he seemed to remember something and turned back to give them a thumbs up, "It's amazing that you can improve so quickly!"

Looking at the young man's back as he left, Nan Shao and Zhang Yi looked at each other, with a hint of helplessness in their eyes, and then smiled bitterly. Originally thought there would be a fierce battle, who knew it would end so lightly. It really felt like using all my strength to lift an empty pot.

Chapter 247 The sudden change

. The night fell, and the camp of Hulugou was lit up with dim lights. People who had fought outside for a day began to prepare dinner. Laughter and chatter came faintly from some houses. Without the dullness of the day, everyone seemed very relaxed after returning to the camp. Of course, this was also because they had not encountered much danger, although they were clearing out zombies every day.

At the same time, the outer area of ​​the mutant plant belt of Yunzhou Base was not so peaceful.

The wildly growing mutant plants successfully protected the shrunken base and the surviving humans. Only a very small number of mutant flying beasts and thin and flexible mutant zombies could cross this line of defense and pose a threat to humans. However, these mutant beasts and zombies that successfully crossed the line would soon be cleared out by the team composed of masters of the base who were on standby, and would not cause much damage. The mutant beasts that stayed outside the mutant plant belt lingered for a long time for some unknown reason, but they had no food to eat. They were violent and ferocious by nature, and when they were extremely hungry, they finally set their prey on their own kind. This situation has been going on for nearly a month.

Fierce fighting and devouring each other, the ruined outer base occupied by zombies and mutants is like a huge meat grinder. The mutants that were wounded in the previous moment had just torn their opponents apart and swallowed them, and the next moment they had become someone else's prey. The survival rules of the end of the world are condensed here into shocking scenes of blood and cruelty due to the squeeze of the venue.

For humans, such things are naturally welcome. It is best for the mutants and zombies gathered outside to kill each other. In that case, not only will the siege of the base be solved, but the security around the base will also be raised by several levels. It can completely form a safe zone covering several cities, providing the surviving humans with enough breathing space.

However, the reason why imagination is beautiful is because there is a cold reality as a contrast.

In the bleak night, a bison-sized mutant dog was swept away by a giant octopus-like mutant creature with a tentacle as thick as an adult's thigh. It was about to fall into the mutant beasts and be torn into pieces. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew around the mutant dog, holding its body steadily in the air. The mutant beasts that had originally pounced on it all stopped their momentum, with a little fear in their eyes. It was the mutant dog that had burst out with superpowers in the crisis, and its level was one level higher than that of ordinary mutant beasts.

However, just as the mutant dog's eyes shot out bloody murderous intent and wanted to rush towards the mutant octopus that knocked it away, the entire chaotic battlefield suddenly stagnated, as if someone had pressed the pause button. The mutant beasts of all sizes, zombies, and mutant zombies, regardless of whether they were fighting for life or death, all paused for a few seconds at the same time, and then returned to normal, fighting as they should, howling as they should, as if nothing had happened. Even the members of the base who had been monitoring the movements of the mutant beasts missed this scene because of the short time and darkness.

However, the mutant dog that had awakened its superpowers stopped its action of rushing towards the mutant octopus beast in time. The murderous intent in its eyes was still strong, but it was a little more sober. After carefully comparing the difference in strength between the two sides and the current situation, it decisively chose to withdraw from the battlefield and finally disappeared into the darkness.

The same scene was staged in the vast area occupied by mutant beasts and zombies outside the plant belt of the base. At first, it was the mutant beasts and mutant zombies that had erupted with superpowers, then the ordinary mutant beasts, and finally even the crowded ordinary zombies began to disperse at an extremely slow speed. Only the part of the zombies closest to the base and the few mutant beasts that were able to enter the base were still wandering in the original place.

——In

Hulugou, Nan Shao, who was stirring the pot with a spoon, paused, with a look of doubt in his eyes, threw down the spoon, walked outside, and looked at the night sky.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yi noticed that he was different, followed him out and asked.

"Do you feel suddenly refreshed?" Nan Shao hesitated, then asked.

"Hmm?" Zhang Yi was stunned, probably because he didn't expect to hear such a question. He didn't answer immediately, but concentrated and felt it carefully. Like Nan Shao, he looked up at the dark sky that didn't change at all. After confirming that there was nothing special, he spoke, "It's still the same." After a pause, he smiled and said, "Is it because I got the Tang sword back and got rid of a worry, so I feel relaxed?"

Nan Shao shook his head, his expression was very sure. Looking back at the other people in the room who were doing their own things and didn't notice anything unusual, he frowned and thought, "Something must have happened."

Zhang Yi looked at him and didn't interrupt. After getting along for a long time, they naturally knew that neither of them was a person who would shoot without purpose.

"I now suspect that what the sick guy said might be true." Nan Shao was silent for a moment, and said softly, with a solemn emotion in his eyes. "I always felt very depressed before, especially after I came to the vicinity of this base, but just now, that feeling of depression suddenly disappeared..." In fact, after his body was transformed into a beast, he became more acute in terms of spiritual perception. Influenced by the overall atmosphere of the end of the world, he never took that feeling of depression to heart. After all, facing drastic changes, coupled with dangers everywhere, and facing death at any time, no one's mood would be too relaxed. Until just now, the string that had been tense in his mind suddenly loosened, and the whole person seemed to be free and clear. With the comparison, he naturally noticed the abnormality before.

Zhang Yi's expression became serious. If it were someone else, he might still speculate whether it was an illusion or something like that, but since the words came from Nan Shao, he had to face the matter squarely.

"Why not ask Muran again..." He thought about it and felt that no matter how true the words of the sick ghost were, he should find out first. However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Song Yan who strode in.

"Li Muran!" Song Yan did not enter the door, but shouted directly outside. His facial expression, which was not gentle at ordinary times, seemed even colder at this moment.

Li Muran was just serving the bowl when she heard the shouting. She walked out somewhat inexplicably. She saw that not only Song Yan, but also Nan Shao and Zhang Yi were there. She was very puzzled. She looked at Song Yan's unhappy face and asked cautiously, "Director, what's the matter?" Her mind was quickly recalling what happened that day. Did she do anything wrong?

Song Yan glanced at the bowl in her hand and frowned slightly, but did not comment on it. Instead, he directly ordered, "See if there is anything unusual around the base."

Seeing that it was just this matter, Li Muran breathed a sigh of relief, responded, and investigated as he was told. Nan Shao and Zhang Yi looked at each other and had some guesses in their hearts.

The three of them were not in the mood to talk, and waited quietly. Soon, Li Muran's surprised cry came, which made their hearts lift up all of a sudden.

"The mutants are starting to disperse..." Li Muran first noticed the mutants that were running faster, but then he realized that it seemed to be more than that, "The zombies are also leaving."

The people in the house had already paid attention to the outside when Song Yan shouted. When they heard this, they were immediately shocked and put down their bowls to look over. Routa Chen and Pei Yuan ran out directly and asked repeatedly: "What's going on? What happened?"

Li Muran did not answer them immediately, but checked again carefully, and then nodded affirmatively: "Yes, they are starting to disperse, and there are fewer mutants fighting each other. The mutants are fast, and the zombies are slow. It's a mess over there."

"Oh, this is a good thing!" Routa Chen patted his fleshy thighs and was very happy, because it meant that they could return to Ronghe soon. Although he didn't stay in Ronghe for a few days, he did regard it as his future home. Going back early and building a home with everyone would make him feel more at ease. However, "Why is this happening?"

"Yes, why is this happening?" Pei Yuan followed up with a question. The boy's eyes were filled with eagerness, and he had obviously thought of the possible meaning behind this matter before Routa Chen.

This time, Li Muran did not speak, but turned his gaze to Song Yan, because he was the first to discover it.

"I don't know." Song Yan's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip. However, his eyes swept over Nan Shao and Zhang Yi, guessing that they should have also noticed this matter. But he didn't bother to ask more questions now, but said to Li Muran in a slightly hurried tone: "We must notify the third team immediately, you send me over." As he said that, he reached out and grabbed Li Muran's arm.

The zombie extermination was divided into three teams. The first and second teams were located in Zhang County and Longren City respectively, not far from Hulugou, and could go back and forth every day. Only the third team was in the direction close to Xinlong City. Because it took too much time to go back and forth, they were directly stationed there until the rotation. Now that the zombies and mutant beasts are spreading, they are the first to bear the brunt. If they can't evacuate early, they may be trapped or even wiped out.

"Hey, who can help me take the bowl..." Li Muran didn't dare to delay, and wanted to find someone to pass the bowl and chopsticks to him.

"Take it and continue eating over there. Hurry up!" Song Yan urged impatiently. He knew very well that the evacuation would not be so smooth when he got there. Even if he had dry food to fill his stomach, it would not be as good as a bowl of hot soup in this cold night.

Sensing his urgency and unquestionableness from the force on his arm, Li Muran looked at the others helplessly and had to use his mental power to locate them.

"If I can't get back before tomorrow morning, you go and tell Yun Ze that the operations of exterminating corpses and collecting supplies will be temporarily stopped, and no one is allowed to leave the camp." Before leaving, Song Yan said to Nan Shao.

Nan Shao was silent, which was considered an agreement. The two had always disliked each other, but at this moment they were no longer in the mood to find fault with each other.

Until the two disappeared in the night, the rest of the people knew that they could not help at this time, so they all went back to the house. As for Nan Shao's feelings, Zhang Yi only mentioned it briefly, and waited for Li Muran and Song Yan to come back and talk in detail after understanding the situation.

Li Muran and Song Yan teleported twice before reaching the destination. In fact, it takes about 100 to 200 kilometers to reach the temporary camp of the Third Battalion from Hulugou along the main road, but Li Muran took a straight line, and she had considered her teleportation distance when choosing the station to facilitate emergency contact, so the place where the two appeared was just outside the station. Of course, Li Muran had to be thankful that she delayed sending Leng Fengchen to the base until the next day, otherwise she would be helpless when she really needed to use her superpowers.

"Who is it?" The sentry at the temporary camp of the Third Battalion was very alert, and the two were discovered as soon as they appeared. With a low shout, a strong light column came over.

"It's me." Song Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not extend his hand to cover his face. After a moment, when the other party should have confirmed his identity, he said again: "Gather everyone and prepare to leave. Where is Xiao Sheng? Take me to see him."

"It turned out to be Mr. Song. Brother Sheng is in the second house from here. Please wait, I'll..." A figure poked out from the light source. Although he recognized Song Yan at first sight, he still looked at him carefully for a few more times, even Li Muran next to him, before responding and signaling for someone to open the door.

"Forget it, I'll go find him myself. You quickly notify the others and tell them to hurry up. We have to leave as soon as possible!" Song Yan interrupted him, gave a few urgent instructions, and then pulled Li Muran's arm and walked inside.

At the same time, the sentry blew the whistle to assemble.

Chapter 248: Distress on the Return Journey

The camp of the Third Battalion was set up in an abandoned village 20 kilometers away from the corpse hunting battlefield, right next to the highway. Because it was planned to be used for a long time, a small half of the houses were enclosed to build a protective wall, and doors were opened on both the front and back sides for vehicles to enter and exit, in case of accidents and delays in escaping by opening the wall. The teams stationed here were rotated, and this round was the battalion led by Xiao Sheng.

After a day of fighting, Xiao Sheng was sitting by the fire, waiting for dinner. As a result, the assembly whistle sounded before the meal was served. Everyone in the room was startled and reacted very quickly. Those standing had already drawn their weapons, and those sitting jumped up. You looked at me, I looked at you, all a little puzzled, and finally all eyes fell on Xiao Sheng.

"What's going on?" Xiao Sheng frowned. He was the person in charge here. Without his order, the assembly whistle could not be blown casually, not to mention that he didn't know anything about it beforehand. He felt somewhat dissatisfied and slightly uneasy, so he walked out with a knife in hand, and bumped into Song Yan and Li Muran who were hurrying in from outside.

"Mr. Song?" Seeing them, Xiao Sheng showed a look of surprise in his eyes, but then he realized that something big might have happened, otherwise Song Yan would not have come in person, and his face immediately became serious.

"Check the situation." Song Yan did not speak to him immediately, but spoke to Li Muran.

Li Muran nodded slightly to Xiao Sheng as a greeting, and then extended his mental power, and said after a moment: "No zombies or mutant beasts have been seen approaching within a radius of 20 kilometers."

Song Yan's expression slowed down slightly, and he signaled her to eat quickly, and then he explained to Xiao Sheng about the zombie group and the beast tide.

From noticing the abnormality to arriving here, the process seemed to be tortuous, but because of Song Yan's swift and resolute action, there was no delay in between, and Li Muran's ability was activated in just a moment, so when she started eating, the bowl of noodle soup was still warm, which was barely a pleasant surprise.

Now she had nothing to do, so she could hurry up and finish the noodles, but Xiao Sheng and others didn't have this blessing. After Song Yan's concise explanation and order, the whole camp quickly moved, packed up their bags, and started the car. Although the news was abrupt, no one panicked. The retreat in the night was quiet and orderly, showing the unique qualities of soldiers.

"We set up an interception wall on the road when we were withdrawing, and ordinary zombies shouldn't be able to get through." After getting in the car, Xiao Sheng said while eating. When they left, they took a bowl of food that was almost cooked in the pot, and there was no waste, and Li Muran had finished eating when he got in the car.

The car was filled with the smell of food, mixed with the smell of gasoline and leather. It was really not pleasant, but at this time, there was no need to care about much. It was good to be able to eat hot food after a day of hard work. Who knows what will happen next? You have to recover your strength as soon as possible. As for those who didn't get hot food, they can only eat dry food.

More than 20 vehicles carrying more than 200 people drove onto the highway one after another. The beams of light from the headlights pierced the deep night, like a light snake that sometimes meandered and sometimes crawled straight on the road slowly, which was extremely eye-catching in the darkness.

Traveling at night in this doomsday full of dangers is not a good choice, but whether it is zombies or mutants, they do not rely solely on their eyes to determine their targets. Smell is their biggest threat. In order not to be surrounded by scattered mutants and zombies, they can only choose to hide from the limelight temporarily until they are exhausted and exhausted. Fortunately, Li Muran was there to warn and minimize the danger as much as possible.

Song Yan was responsible for driving, giving others time to eat. As for himself, a little bit of food was of no use at all, so he simply didn't eat. Li Muran sat in the co-pilot seat and began to explore the road conditions and look around with a familiar look. It seems that she has taken on this responsibility since she rescued Song Yan from the institute. Now, except for occasionally sending people and things across space, she is completely dedicated to this. However, she knew that her strength was limited. If she encountered mutant zombies and animals, she would have no choice but to give up. So she was not unwilling to do so. She would try her best to do everything she could, and would not take it lightly just because she thought it was too easy and less dangerous.

Song Yan did not comment on Xiao Sheng's words. In fact, the zombies that were of concern at the moment were not ordinary zombies. Even if there was no interception wall to block them, it would take more than one or two hours for ordinary zombies to walk 40 to 50 kilometers. The mutant zombies and mutant beasts that were of concern were not only sensitive to smell, but also quick and agile. The temporary unguarded interception wall was useless to them. Once they caught up with them, the consequences would be disastrous.

The journey was relatively smooth. Although the road back was mostly occupied by mutant plants because no one had walked for several days, everyone had experience in dealing with mutant plants, so there was no great danger. It just delayed a lot of time. It was not until they were about to arrive in Longren City that Li Muran's face changed slightly.

"There are already mutant beasts entering Longren City..." It is about 120 to 130 kilometers from the temporary camp of the Third Battalion to Longren City, and the base is only 25 kilometers away from Longren City. The speed of mutant beasts is not much slower than that of the vehicles. Not to mention that the convoy has to clear mutant plants on the road, even if there is no obstacle, the time consumed is enough for the mutant beasts to run back and forth from Longren to the base several times. So this should be a predictable situation, but Li Muran is still a little frustrated, but Song Yan and others react calmly.

"The specific number cannot be detected clearly for the time being." Li Muran cheered up and continued to report. "A group of mutant beasts came from the direction of the second battlefield. They are not big and look a bit like dogs... maybe wolves. There are probably hundreds of them. There is a high possibility that they will appear on the road ahead of us."

Everyone in the car was shocked. Song Yan turned his head slightly and asked, "Are they coming for our convoy?"

Li Muran did not answer immediately, but observed for a moment before answering uncertainly, "Not really. I feel that they should not have noticed the existence of the convoy. They may just be passing by, but it is hard to say if they are closer."

"What is the possibility of bypassing?" Song Yan continued to ask.

Li Muran followed his instructions to explore other routes. Half a minute later, he sighed and shook his head, "It's impossible. Except for the road we are walking on now, the vehicles blocking the other roads have not been cleared. We don't have time." Obviously, because this area is far away from Zhang County, the large team collecting supplies has not been able to clear it. The only passable road is the one that the corpse-killing convoy goes back and forth.

Song Yan did not ask again, but flashed the lights to convey the message to other vehicles in the form of light language. The convoy drove directly into Longren City without any pause.

Because it was planned to take a long time to clear out zombies and mutants here, fixed rotation routes had been cleared from Hulugou to Zhangxian, and then to Longren, and even to the third battlefield. Abandoned vehicles and collapsed buildings on this road were pushed to the sides, and only the rapidly growing mutant plants always stubbornly and persistently attempted to occupy all the open space. However, during this period, all zombies and mutant animals were concentrated around the base. The lack of various active food sources made the growth and combat power of the mutant plants nearby weaker and weaker, and they were no longer a threat.

"More than ten kilometers behind the mutant wolf pack, a mutant flying beast appeared. It was very large..." Li Muran was doing the reconnaissance work diligently. This work was very easy for her after her ability was improved, but her expression was not relaxed. After a pause, she added, "There were also mutant animals within 20 kilometers behind us."

The expressions of the people in the car became more and more solemn, but no one was surprised, let alone panic. After walking in the apocalypse for a long time, people's psychological tolerance for crises has become stronger and stronger, and they have gradually become abnormal. If they return to the pre-apocalypse at this time, I am afraid that few things can move them again.

Song Yan calmly used the light language to order the convoy to prepare for battle, and then changed seats with Xiao Sheng in the back seat, took off the two oversized gloves he was wearing, revealing his claw-like hands covered with black scales that had never returned to their original state. His eyes fell on it, thoughtful.

Originally, only one hand was transformed into a beast, but in order to buy time for the plant-based supernatural power at the Yunzhou base, he took the initiative to transform into a beast, and it became like this now. Although it didn't get worse, it didn't seem to be a good sign. If it's always like this in the future... Song Yan's mind floated the image of himself touching Li Muran with such a pair of claws, and a drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead, and his heart was horrified.

In fact, it's not just him. Since that time, Nan Shao's face, which had originally fully recovered to human form, once again wore half of the ant armor. The difference is that Zhang Yi and Nan Shao have long been in love with each other. Even if Nan Shao's whole body is transformed into an ant, Zhang Yi may feel distressed and worried, but he will never dislike it. He and Li Muran are nothing. With her temper and personality, she naturally won't show him a strange look, but she has no obligation or responsibility to accept him like this. This is also one of the reasons why he has not pierced that thin paper for a long time.

"We've been discovered, they are rushing towards us." Li Muran's deliberately low voice sounded in the car.

Song Yan took his eyes away from his hand, paused for a moment when he glanced at the side face of Li Muran sitting in the front seat, and then ordered in a calm tone: "Notify everyone, don't stop the car, just rush over." There was no light in the car, but he could see everything clearly. Li Muran's profile was not very delicate and beautiful, but her eyebrows were calm, and her nose was straight and beautiful, which made people feel indescribably comfortable. I don't know since when, he actually fell in love with these eyebrows and eyes, wanting to get closer, but he was afraid of scaring her who was as timid as a mouse.

As if she felt his gaze lingering, she turned her head sideways, and he did not move his eyes away immediately, but waited until his eyes met hers, then he stretched out his hand to push the car door, turned over, and flashed out.

The people sitting in the car could clearly feel the roof of the car sink, confirming that he was on the roof.

Li Muran's eyes did not have the ability to see in the dark, so she could not be sure whether Song Yan was looking at her just now, but her cheeks were inexplicably hot, and she felt that it was for no reason. Even if the director was looking at her, what was the matter? Although she thought so, she still felt a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, she was about to collide with the mutant beasts and could not afford to be distracted. So she quickly calmed down and put the matter behind her.

Chapter 249: Escape for Life

Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several fireballs the size of footballs rolled over and hit the convoy directly, and the darkness seemed to be ignited. Without using mental power, Li Muran could also see the mutant wolves running wildly, led by a purple-red wolf, which seemed to be burning under the light of the fire. Her heart tightened and she subconsciously shrank back.

She was in a hurry and had nothing to bring except a bowl of noodles. At this moment, she didn't even have a weapon to make herself feel at ease. Looking at Xiao Sheng who was driving to avoid the fireballs with full vigilance, and the other two people in the back seat who were ready to fight at any time, she still resisted the idea of ​​asking to borrow something. She knew that she could kill a few ordinary zombies, but if they were mutant beasts and mutant zombies, it would be useless to carry a rocket launcher because the reaction could not keep up. Distracting them at this time would only harm others and yourself.

You have to believe in the director and Brother Sheng. She said to herself, looking at the mutant wolf rushing towards the car, trying to stay calm, but her face had turned pale, and sweat was faintly oozing from her forehead. It is not something that can be done by saying that you can completely put your own safety in the hands of others.

"Sit tight!" At this moment, Xiao Sheng shouted in a low voice, turning the steering wheel with his hand, and the car just passed the edge of the two fireballs.

A burnt smell came into her nose, and Li Muran was stunned for a moment, only to find that it was the car door that was burned red, and even her sleeve next to the car door was burned. Fortunately, it was cold and she wore more clothes, otherwise her arm would probably be burned. She hurriedly moved to the driver's seat, and at the same time, she had a very deep understanding of the high temperature of the fireball spit out by the mutant wolf.

The person in the back seat suffered, because he was holding the car door with his hand ready to open the door and fight at any time, and his fingers were immediately burned and blistered. It was still because he reacted quickly and stopped in time, otherwise it would probably be directly disabled. Even so, he didn't cry out in pain when he was caught off guard, but just whispered to remind the other people in the car not to lean against the door.

Xiao Sheng, who was holding the steering wheel, was not affected at all. He skillfully weaved between the fireballs and the mutant wolves that pounced on him. The sharp scratching sound of the wolf's claws scratching the car body was heard from time to time, and it was accompanied by violent shaking. There were several times when it was almost overturned, but it never stopped.

Li Muran began to worry about Song Yan on the roof of the car. She didn't know if he would be thrown out by such speed and bumps, or caught by the mutant wolf. Thinking about it, she extended her mental power and saw a scene that surprised her.

Song Yan was lying on the roof of the car like a gecko, completely unaffected by the speed of the car. Whenever a mutant wolf or a fireball fell on the roof of the car, he would be swept away by his claws. The high temperature of the fireball seemed to be nothing to him. When Li Muran's mental power extended over, he was inserting a claw into the belly of a mutant wolf. As if he had sensed something, his eyes suddenly looked over to where she was. Perhaps she remembered her special ability, so she quickly turned away and put her attention back on the mutant wolf pack that was attacking aggressively.

However, in just such a short moment, Li Muran was already scared out of her wits. The pair of eyes that had just looked over were no longer as sharp and calm as usual, but were replaced by cold, ruthless, and vicious, like two black hurricanes containing powerful forces, ready to swallow people at any time. They didn't look like human eyes at all.

After a long while, Li Muran swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and her stiff neck regained its mobility. She raised her hand and stroked her chest to suppress the horrifying feeling. A faint worry arose in her heart. Song Yan's transformation

into a beast seemed to be more serious than before. But now was obviously not the time to think too much. Just as she was distracted, she heard a dull bang. It turned out that a car behind her couldn't dodge in time and was overturned by two mutant wolves.

Xiao Sheng saw what happened in the rearview mirror, his face changed slightly, and he was about to turn the car around to save people, but he heard Song Yan's cold voice without any human emotion coming from the roof of the car: "Notify everyone, do not stop, keep driving forward!" As he spoke, the car body shook slightly, and he had already jumped down, pouncing on the overturned vehicle like an ancient beast. At the same time, the purple-red wolf finally noticed his presence, howled angrily, and chased after him.

Xiao Sheng gritted his teeth, conveyed the order in light language, and then stepped on the accelerator. The car, which had slowed down a little, rushed out with a bang, just in time to collide with a mutant wolf that pounced on it. The mutant wolf was hit and turned over in the air, but it was not hurt at all. It shook its fur and rushed up fiercely again.

The car cannot stop. If it stops, the entire convoy will be trapped here, and then surrounded by an endless stream of mutant beasts, and then a group of zombies. Of course, the premise is that they can hold on until then. It was precisely because of this understanding that Xiao Sheng could only harden his heart and ignore it even though he knew that his comrade who had overturned the car was in danger of death. And in this process, the only thing that made him less painful was that he didn't have to make this decision. Of course, if Song Yan asked him to stop and save people, even if he knew what the consequences would be, he would do it without hesitation.

Li Muran's mental power subconsciously followed Song Yan. Seeing that he was surrounded by several mutant wolves, her hands on both sides of her thighs couldn't help but grab the cushion under the seat, until the metal door next to her was pierced by the claws of the very persistent mutant wolf, she suddenly withdrew her attention.

Turning her head and seeing the hideous wolf head attached to the glass window with dense cracks, she realized that it might not be a mutant wolf. At least she had never seen a wolf with a face very similar to that of a human. At this time, the face was grinning at her, drooling, and very excited.

I never thought that there would be something like this under the long hair. Li Muran's scalp exploded. After entering the apocalypse, she had seen many strange and scary things, but this was the first time that she felt creepy from the bottom of her heart, just like watching a ghost version of a horror movie. It even made her lose the ability to react for a moment, and even the scream was blocked in her throat.

Bang! The door of the back seat was pushed open, and the warrior who had been prepared for a long time released a wind to bind the mutant monster, and then leaned out and hit it on the head with an iron rod.

Li Muran recovered, although he was uneasy, but he didn't care about Song Yan at this time. He forced himself to focus on the surrounding situation so that he could give an early warning. At the same time, he had to take into account the road conditions and mutant creatures in the distance to prevent the convoy from being surrounded.

Fortunately, because there was a battlefield not far outside Longren City, the second group of convoys would go back and forth once a day, so this road was very smooth, and there were no mutant plants. Otherwise, if the road is slightly blocked, the convoy will be blocked by hundreds of mutant human-faced wolves, plus the mutant animals that come from other directions. Even if they rush out, it is hard to say how many people can survive.

Bang! The mutant monster clinging to the car door was hit by the iron rod and its brain burst. After hanging on the speeding car like a rag for a few seconds, it fell to the ground and was crushed into meat paste by other vehicles following closely behind.

Li Muran raised her hand to wipe the brain splashed in from the broken window on her face. She almost vomited because of the strong fishy smell. This was because she had long been accustomed to the rotten smell that could be smelled everywhere in the end of the world, otherwise she might not be able to bear it.

"Be careful..." Halfway through wiping, her face changed slightly and she warned in a startled voice. Because she was too nervous, her voice changed a little.

Before she finished speaking, Xiao Sheng had turned the steering wheel to the right. There were only two bangs, and the car body shook and almost overturned.

"Up there! Up there! Two!" Li Muran subconsciously lowered his voice and said hastily.

Everyone looked up. Although the light was dim, they could still see the deformed roof and the many punctures on it, with sharp claws like metal sticking in.

Bang! At this moment, the roof shook again, and then a claw shape protruding downward appeared. It was obvious that the mutant human-faced wolf wanted to penetrate the roof and attack the humans inside directly from above.

Li Muran's breathing was short. Apart from the ability to detect spirits, she had already used up all her super powers for today. In this situation, she could do nothing but sit and wait for death. However, the two soldiers in the back seat reacted quickly. They communicated briefly with gestures in tacit understanding, and then turned over at the same time. Soon, the sound of fighting came from the roof. As for Xiao Sheng, who was driving, he was completely unmoved by everything around him, and his hands on the steering wheel were as steady as a rock. After

looking at him, Li Muran's originally nervous mood was inexplicably relaxed a lot. She knew that compared with these veterans, she, who had seen and experienced something in the end of the world, was still far behind. Of course, this was also related to her own combat ability and the exhaustion of super powers. After all, whether you have capital in your hands is closely related to whether you have confidence in your heart.

A few minutes later, the two soldiers returned to the car, both of them were injured, but not too seriously.

Boom - after avoiding a mutant human-faced wolf, the front suddenly opened up, but they rushed out. Several people in the car, including Xiao Sheng, who had been unusually calm, were stunned for a moment, and then they reacted and smiled. However, no one cheered, because they knew that as long as they didn't return to the camp, it would not be over.

"The nearest mutant flying beast has entered the range of five kilometers. Judging from its flying speed, it will arrive here in five minutes at the latest. Nearly two kilometers behind it is a group of smaller bat-like mutant flying beasts, with a number of about five hundred. Behind them and around them, no other mutant animals were seen." Li Muran didn't feel relieved at all, because the speed of these mutant creatures was really too fast, and there were too many of them.

The two people in the back seat gasped and their scalps tingled when they heard this. Xiao Sheng didn't react. He was still staring intently at the road conditions under the illumination of the headlights in front of him, and asked in a deep voice: "What about other situations?"

Li Muran felt his mouth was a little dry and bitter. He swallowed his saliva and answered in a dry voice: "The mutant beasts that have entered the city have not been alarmed yet... A mutant giant python more than ten meters long with branch-like protrusions all over its body appeared on the way we came. It seemed to have smelled the scent left by us when we passed by, and is chasing us closely. It is very fast and may arrive here in less than ten minutes." So they have no time. In addition to keeping moving forward and moving forward with all their might, they also have to pray that they don't encounter any obstacles on the road, or that the car has one or two problems, otherwise being surrounded is almost inevitable.

Chapter 250: Comprehensive Mutation

"What about Mr. Song?" Xiao Sheng continued to ask, and calmly signaled the vehicle behind him to speed up in an emergency, but he stepped on the accelerator hard. The modified military off-road vehicle rushed into the darkness ahead like lightning. It bumped into something from time to time, but it just whizzed past it in a crushing posture and was not affected too much.

The vehicles behind followed closely, and at the same time, they passed the message in succession through the headlights. Of course, except for the overturned vehicle.

Li Muran was about to speak, but Xiao Sheng suddenly remembered something that everyone had ignored. Cold sweat flowed down his spine, and he hurriedly stepped on the brakes. Because he stopped without any signs, no matter how fast the car behind reacted, it still bit the butt of their car. Li Muran and the two people in the back seat who were caught off guard suffered a little loss.

"Linzi, you drive." Xiao Sheng said as he pushed open the door, "Muran, you find a suitable place nearby and take everyone there. Hurry up and build the fortifications. Daxing, get off with me." He didn't even have time to explain why he did this, nor did he give Li Muran and others time to ask questions. He took the soldier named Daxing and ran in the direction of the mutant human-faced wolf that had been thrown away. "

Brother Sheng, what's wrong?" Someone in the car behind leaned out of his head, covering his nose and asking in confusion. It was obvious that he was hit hard in the rear-end collision just now.

Xiao Sheng ran back and waved at them, "Except for the earth and water system, all other superpowers get off the car to kill the mutant beasts, hurry up! The rest of you follow the car in front..."

The people in the team were used to obeying orders. Although they didn't understand what was going on, they still acted quickly.

It turned out that Xiao Sheng suddenly thought that even if they were lucky enough to successfully break out of Longren City, they would probably be blocked when they arrived in Zhang County. You know, Zhang County is closer to the base than Longren City, only about 15 kilometers away. At that time, I am afraid that there will not only be mutant animals, but also zombies. Instead of running away while being divided and surrounded by mutant beasts that may appear at any time, fighting each other, it is better for everyone to work together to kill the mutant beasts in front of them, find a place nearby to defend, and then think of a way. After all, they have entered the urban area of ​​Longren, where reinforced concrete buildings stand in rows, and the defense is better than the lonely abandoned village in the temporary camp. It

was also thanks to him that he made this decision temporarily, because in addition to the overturned car before, there were four cars behind that were forced to stop for various reasons, and then surrounded by mutant human-faced wolves. Two of the cars were hit by fireballs, and large holes were melted in the glass and car shells. Gasoline leaked out, burning in the cold night, emitting billowing smoke.

Some people were injured, but fortunately, there were no deaths for the time being. Everyone has been working together for a long time, and most of them are from the military, so they are good at teamwork. After abandoning the car, they moved while fighting with the mutant human-faced wolves, and finally gathered together one after another. Although not all of them are superpowers, there is strength in numbers, so they can hold on for a while. Moreover, more than half of the mutant human-faced wolves gathered to Song Yan's side because of the call of the head wolf, which relieved a lot of pressure on them.

Xiao Sheng brought people in time, and with the addition of a large number of superpowers, the mutant human-faced wolves surrounding the crowd were quickly eliminated. On the other side, Song Yan also came over with the body of the mutant human-faced wolf king, covered in blood. The rest of the mutant human-faced wolves, without the restraint of the wolf king, have already fled or died, and none of them are left.

Seeing Xiao Sheng, Song Yan's cold pupils shrank slightly, obviously dissatisfied with the other party for not executing the orders he issued. Xiao Sheng wanted to explain, but before he could speak, he saw Song Yan's expression condensed and looked up at the sky.

"Leave here first!"

Although they were moving fast enough, the mutant human-faced wolves were not chickens or ducks after all. Even if they were chickens or ducks, it would take some time to kill more than a hundred of them, not to mention mutant animals. It had been five minutes since Xiao Sheng got off the car, which was longer than Li Muran's estimate. The huge mutant flying beast had already arrived and was attracted.

"Go this way!" Xiao Sheng said, and then took the lead and led everyone to run wildly in the direction where Li Muran and the others had left. Song Yan fell behind.

However, before everyone ran far, they felt a gust of wind coming down from the top of their heads, and an indescribable chill enveloped everyone. Everyone was startled, their hair stood up, and they subconsciously looked up at the sky. At this moment, a team member in the crowd suddenly rolled to the ground, barely avoiding the sharp claws that fell from the sky, but it was the keen intuition for danger cultivated by long-term battles that saved his life. At the same time, Song Yan threw the mutant human-faced wolf king's corpse over, trying to stop the mutant flying beast and buy some time for the targeted team members and others.

With a dull roar, the mutant human-faced wolf king's corpse froze in mid-air, but was caught by the mutant flying beast that swooped over again, and then torn into two halves and thrown to the ground.

The body parts, internal organs, and uncoagulated blood fell like rain. Because of the darkness, everyone could not avoid them. The lucky ones only had some blood on their bodies, and the unlucky ones were almost knocked unconscious by the body parts. The scene was in chaos for a moment.

"You go first!" Song Yan's eyes, which were always staring at the sky, narrowed slightly, emitting an excited light of desire for battle. He spit out a few words to the others coldly, and then suddenly rushed forward a few steps, jumped up, and grabbed the mutant flying beast that was about to continue to pounce on the crowd.

Xiao Sheng paused for a moment, without saying much, and asked people to carry the injured and speed up. He knew that he was helpless in the dark against this mutant beast that flew silently, was completely black, and could hide in the night sky. Others were not much better than him, but Song Yan, who had transformed into a beast, was different. Therefore, he did not delay time hypocritically, after all, it was related to nearly a hundred lives.

But where were Li Muran and the others? He led everyone to run forward along the main road, his eyes patrolling in the darkness, praying that the foothold that Li Muran found would not stray too far from the main road. The only two flashlights in the team swayed left and right due to running. Beyond the beam of light was deep darkness. In such a dark night, they did not play a big role, which was better than nothing.

Fortunately, a fire soon lit up in front, guiding the direction for everyone.

Li Muran found an underground parking lot in a shopping mall. Fortunately, it was morning when the apocalypse happened, and there were not many cars, so it was not so difficult to clear the circular driveway to enter. It was very empty inside, with traces of flooding, which reminded people of the heavy rain that had fallen for many days.

After confirming that there were no mutant plants and animals or zombies hiding in the dark, the people who arrived first did not relax, but took out the emergency lights from the car and checked the entire underground parking lot. Everyone divided the work, reinforced what needed to be reinforced, blocked what needed to be blocked, and patched what needed to be patched, to reduce the possibility of it being breached by mutant animals as much as possible.

When Xiao Sheng and others arrived, the two exits of the parking lot had already been raised with four-meter-thick stone walls, and the same was true at the entrance, but only half of it was done. The team had a lot of earth-related abilities, but time was short, and it was too late to build a circle of defense walls outside, but it was still easy to build a few such stone walls. As

Xiao Sheng and others entered, the ten earth-related ability users waiting at the entrance used their abilities at the same time, slowly widening and extending the earth wall, and then turning it into stone, leaving only a passage that could accommodate only one person, and they would close it all when Song Yan came back. The fire not far from the parking lot was still burning, and a piece of light broke through the suffocating darkness, which might attract more mutant beasts, but no one wanted to extinguish it because there was still a person who was waiting behind to ensure the safety of everyone's escape.

Li Muran, who was helping to check for loopholes with her mental power in the parking lot, smiled when she saw Xiao Sheng and the others coming back, but when she found that Song Yan was not among them, her smile faded.

"We dealt with the mutant wolf pack, and were attacked by a flying beast on our way back. Mr. Song asked us to go first, and he stayed to deal with the flying beast." Seeing the subtle change in her expression, Xiao Sheng explained in a straightforward manner. After that, he did not stay any longer and went straight to his own business. Treating the wounded, dividing the defense, distributing food, keeping warm and resisting the cold, etc. There are many things, and they are extremely cumbersome, and they directly affect the time they can hold on here. If they are not arranged as soon as possible, there will inevitably be trouble.

Li Muran's lips tightened slightly. Although she was a little irritable, she did not ask any more questions. Instead, she immediately restrained her thoughts and decided to seize the time to continue with her own work, hoping to finish it as soon as possible, and then personally check the situation on Song Yan's side. And just as she turned her eyes away, she actually caught a glimpse of Yuan Jinshu's face that made her very disgusted, in the crowd who came back later. She was a little surprised, but did not stop because of this.

At the same time, two blocks away from here, a fierce battle was taking place.

Song Yan's leap was five or six meters high, and just touched the feet of the mutant flying beast. Because it was too sudden, the mutant flying beast was startled and screamed, fluttering up more than 20 meters, and then circling in the air. I don't know if it was angry or found that the prey in front of it that dared to attack it was more delicious than the others. It actually watched Xiao Sheng and others leave without chasing, but took a moment to judge the danger level of the prey below, and then shot down like a swift arrow, taking advantage of the moment when Song Yan's ability to grab the air and roll on the ground was at its lowest.

Song Yan rolled several times on the snow that had been trampled into pieces. Minus the impact of falling from a high place, before he stood up, he already felt the huge threat from the air, but he did not avoid it. He propped up his two scaly claws on the ground, jumped up again, and punched the mutant flying beast that swooped down.

Bang! The man and the beast collided with each other. Song Yan's fist hit the claw of the mutant flying beast, and he heard the sound of bones breaking. At the same time, the mutant flying beast's shrill and angry cry sounded, and his left shoulder was also grabbed by the opponent's other claw, sinking deeply into the flesh. The huge force and reaction force made the man and the beast fly in their respective directions, but because Song Yan was tightly grasped by the flying beast, the two forces offset each other. In the end, the size and strength of the flying beast took advantage, and after flying him back for a distance, it stabilized in mid-air.

There was a severe pain on his shoulder, but Song Yan seemed unaware of it. He was about to attack again, but the mutant flying beast suddenly bent its tail and stung him hard on the back. A sharp burning pain that seemed to melt and decompose him came violently, making Song Yan's brain dazed, but also made the ferocity that had been suppressed in his body completely unleashed. His eyes filled with endless darkness burst out with a crazy bloodthirsty look, his body suddenly swelled, and the cold scales suddenly covered his whole body, and the outline of his face vaguely showed the shape of some kind of beast. Ignoring the claws on his shoulders and the claws in the air, the two scales suddenly raised up and grabbed the two claws of the flying beast. With a cold snort, the arm muscles bulged, and he pulled hard to both sides, and actually tore it in half, just like when it tore the body of the mutant wolf king before.

Chapter 251 The Lost Person

Boom! As the mutant flying beast was torn apart, Song Yan also began to fall rapidly to the ground.

Falling from a height of more than ten or twenty meters, even a man of steel and iron would be seriously injured. However, just before landing, Song Yan suddenly threw the two halves of the flying beast's body that he still held in his hands to his feet, and then stepped on them, and then rolled on the ground. The still soft huge beast corpse and the thick snow layer reduced the impact of falling from a height by 60 to 70 percent. The remaining force was nothing to his current physique. But when he stood up, his body still shook.

He looked very scary at this time. His body was more than twice as big as usual. His clothes and shoes were stretched out and hung on his body in tatters. They were blown around by the cold wind and got in the way. He impatiently tore them off. His body, as strong as a beast, was covered with scales. The left shoulder was bloody and the scales were turned up, and the white bones inside could be vaguely seen. It was obvious that the claw of the flying beast had caused him considerable damage, but the real killer was the sting, which was highly poisonous and made him a little unstable.

He stood in the darkness, not far away from the car that was still burning, and the air was filled with the smell of blood. He closed his eyes and took a greedy deep breath. A huge feeling of hunger swept over him. When he opened his eyes again, he was filled with a strong desire to eat. He shook his confused head and staggered to the front of the flying beast's corpse not far away. His feet softened and he knelt on the ground, then he tore and gnawed desperately.

The fresh blood and flesh in his stomach made him look much better, but if the survivors saw him eating like a beast, they would probably be scared.

While eating, he suddenly stopped and looked in the direction they came from. His eyes once again showed the excitement and eagerness of seeing prey, and he was unaware that he was still seriously injured. But soon he turned his head and looked in the direction of the second battlefield. Something was approaching quickly there. He was a little unwilling, but in the end, the remaining ray of reason made him choose to avoid it. But before leaving, he found the mutant flying beast and the head of the mutant human-faced wolf king, broke it open and took out two walnut-sized worms from it, and also took away a piece of flying beast meat.

Not long after he left, the giant mutant python that Li Muran had seen appeared there. The mutant python wandered around for a while, but did not see the expected prey. Finally, it could not bear the hunger in its stomach and opened its mouth to swallow the remaining mutant flying beast corpse.

A group of mutant bats followed, and after feeling the strong pressure from the mutant python, they quickly dispersed into the darkness.

——Because

of the attraction of the fire and the human smell emitted from the entrance of the driveway that was not completely closed, many mutant beasts soon gathered outside the underground parking lot. However, it was different from when they surrounded the Yunzhou base. Each of them seemed to have intelligence. The weaker ones wandered around the periphery, or quietly left to find other prey, or tried to find other entrances, trying to avoid conflicts with more powerful mutant beasts; the strong ones tested each other, and then showed their strength to compete for ownership. Of course, this was a very bloody process. Compared with the Yunzhou base completely surrounded by mutant plants, the prey that looked within reach was obviously more tempting.

The people hiding in the underground parking lot seemed to be birds in a cage and turtles in a jar, and they were already regarded as their prey. Until this time, Song Yan had not returned.

Some people could not sit still. After all, Song Yan was not only the leader they respected, but also the last one to leave for their safe evacuation. Anyone with a conscience would not remain indifferent.

"Brother Sheng, let me take a few people to pick up Mr. Song." Someone couldn't help but suggest.

"Yeah, count me in."

"I'll go too."

Many people responded immediately, including some non-superpowers, but without exception, they all came from the army before the end of the world, and they can be regarded as Song Yan's direct line.

"Shut up, no one is allowed to go out." Xiao Sheng said in a low voice. In fact, he was also very anxious, but the situation outside, if they went out, they would be delivering food to those mutant beasts, so Song Yan's efforts would be in vain. He looked at Li Muran who was sitting in the corner with his eyes downcast, "Muran, can you see Mr. Song's situation?"

Li Muran started to use her mental power to explore the situation on Song Yan's side after she finished her work, but she had not found Song Yan's influence until now, which made her very anxious. When she heard Xiao Sheng's question, she shook her head and her face was not very good. After speaking, she did not give up. She estimated the time and the speed that Song Yan could reach at the moment, determined the farthest distance, and continued to search.

Xiao Sheng fell silent and began to think about whether to send someone out to look for him. You can go through the commercial building above the parking lot instead of the entrance... However, there is no doubt that the people sent out will definitely be in danger of death. He knew very well that those who volunteered were not afraid of death, but was there any value in going out to die in the dark? Mr. Song handed the person to him, so he had to take up the responsibility, even if he wanted to go out and look for him himself.

He was a little addicted to cigarettes, and subconsciously reached into his pocket, but found nothing. Then he remembered that it was the end of the world, and where would he get those things to spend his money. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, retracted his hand, and pressed his eyebrows.

"Brother Sheng, block the entrance." At this moment, Li Muran suddenly spoke up, freeing him from the torment.

"Is Mr. Song back?" He was happy and stood up unconsciously.

The people around him also looked at Li Muran at once, their eyes full of expectation.

Li Muran hesitated, then nodded slightly, raised his hand and pointed upwards. She didn't say anything, but in that very short pause, Xiao Sheng saw that there must be something hidden, so he didn't ask any more questions and immediately asked someone to notify the earth-type ability guarding the entrance to block all the exits.

"I'll go up to see Mr. Song, Muran, you come with me." After arranging everything, Xiao Sheng said to Li Muran, who was already fidgeting. Song Yan's return made him feel relieved, and as for other things, they were not a problem in his eyes.

"Call a healing psychic." After walking a distance, Li Muran whispered to him.

Xiao Sheng glanced at her and saw that her expression was a little difficult to describe. Knowing that the situation might be a little complicated, he didn't ask much, and turned around and called: "Wu He, you come too." Wu He was a soldier under his command before the end of the world. His temperament and personality were very reassuring. I believe this is also the reason why Li Muran asked him to choose someone.

A very energetic short young man responded, jumped up, and trotted to catch up with them. His eyebrows and eyes were still a little immature, but he had already faintly revealed the iron-blooded spirit of a soldier.

Wu He was only eighteen years old, younger than Li Muran, so he shyly called her sister. Li Muran was used to being called sister, but she still felt soft in her heart. Sometimes the relationship between people is actually very simple, and a simple name from the heart can bring people closer.

The three of them walked up the escalator leading to the shopping mall, which had stopped running. The main entrance of the mall had been closed and sealed with metal. In addition, a large number of mutant beasts gathered at the entrance of the underground parking lot, so it was unlikely to be attacked from this side in a short time. However, to be on the safe side, the three of them turned off the flashlight when they reached the first floor on the ground, and relied entirely on Li Muran's guidance to move forward.

This shopping mall has seven floors, two underground floors and five above ground floors, not including the underground parking lot. The three of them went up to the fifth floor through the stairwell. This floor has a cinema, a restaurant and an ice and snow park. The remaining zombies had been cleared out before, and the whole floor was so quiet that it made people feel creepy. Through the glass wall, you can see the supernatural light emitted by the mutant beasts fighting outside, with an indescribable cruel beauty.

The mutant beasts have awakened their supernatural powers, which is completely worse for the already difficult human beings. However, at this time, they didn't have time to think too much. The most important thing at the moment was to be able to return to Hulugou alive and join the main force.

Li Muran stopped outside the third screening room of the cinema. She seemed a little hesitant.

Xiao Sheng didn't know what she was worried about. Just as he was about to ask, she whispered, "I'm not sure if he wants to see us."

Hmm? Xiao Sheng was surprised, but it was very dark here, and he couldn't see Li Muran's expression at all, but he couldn't just stand there like that, so he said, "I'll try." As he said that, he stepped forward, touched the door of the theater and wanted to push it open, but was stopped by Li Muran.

"Wait, you can't go." Li Muran's back was covered in cold sweat. She could clearly see that the "person" sitting in the theater began to get restless when Xiao Sheng approached, and seemed to be a little excited, but also seemed to be resisting, which made her feel bad.

"What happened?" Xiao Sheng paused, and finally couldn't help asking.

Li Muran swallowed, not knowing how to say it, or whether she should say it. She couldn't make a decision for Song Yan.

"Let me do it. You wait for me outside, and come in when I call you." In the end, she chose to keep silent about this matter.

"Is there any danger?" Xiao Sheng sensed something was wrong from her previous performance, and pulled her back with some concern.

"No, the director is inside." Li Muran's smile was a little forced, but she answered quickly and confidently, enough to make the two people beside her feel relieved. However, she herself was actually uneasy. Song Yan's current situation was not good, but someone had to contact him, and there seemed to be no better choice except her. After all, she was the one who knew his transformation into an alien beast the best.

"Then be careful." Xiao Sheng let go of her hand, because in his eyes and even in the eyes of most people in the team, she and Song Yan had long been a couple, so there was nothing wrong with her going in first. "

Sister, don't close the door, call us if you have anything." Wu He, who had been very quiet, suddenly said.

"Yeah." Li Muran felt warm in her heart, responded softly, and then gritted her teeth and pushed open the heavy soundproof door.

She had been focusing on that "person", and seeing that he did not have any violent reaction, she stepped in tentatively. The door of the theater closed silently behind her, and no one noticed.

The theater was filled with a strong smell of blood and a suffocating oppression, as if a beast from the ancient times was crouching there. Li Muran took two steps and felt her legs go weak. She stopped and whispered, "Director," holding onto the back of a chair beside the aisle.

Chapter 252: Beastiality

The two words were so light, but it seemed to have unlocked some kind of magic ban. The person sitting in the front row suddenly stood up and walked towards her. Although his steps were a little unstable, his heavy breathing and his tall and majestic figure still gave people a great sense of oppression.

Li Muran subconsciously held her breath, her nerves were stretched to the extreme, and she didn't dare to let her mental power aim randomly, after all, the man was not wearing anything. Until the other party got closer and closer, she suddenly felt something was wrong. The increasingly heavy breathing conveyed a kind of urgency and excitement, just like a hungry beast seeing sweet blood food. Knowing that something was wrong, she didn't dare to wait any longer and turned around and ran.

The door was only two or three steps behind her, not far away, but such a short distance was like a natural chasm for her. At the moment when she showed signs of turning around, the half-human, half-beast creature had already jumped up and pounced on her like lightning.

Li Muran fell to the ground with a thud. The thick carpet swallowed up the heavy sound of a human body hitting the ground and also alleviated a little of the impact, but she was still confused. She reacted quickly and started to crawl forward before she had fully recovered, trying to struggle for a chance of survival.

However, the next moment, she felt her fragile neck being caught by a cold and sharp claw, which seemed to be twisted off at any time. Even if it was not so rough, as long as one of the nails gently scratched the position of the carotid artery, her blood would gush out, and there would be no possibility of rescue. She froze her body and dared not move again. For

a moment, Li Muran began to regret why she had tried to show off her ability and broke in alone. But this thought was only fleeting, and she was soon frightened by the wet and hot feeling lingering on her neck and almost fainted. Is

it going to start from the neck? This is better, it should be less painful. She comforted herself unwillingly, but her whole body was shaking uncontrollably, and she gritted her teeth and resisted the desire to call for help. She didn't know if she could be saved after calling for help, but she knew that inviting Xiao Sheng and Wu He in would only harm them. She never thought she was great, but she couldn't do the thing of dragging teammates into the water.

"Director... I... I am Li... Muran..." After a while, she felt that her neck and face were licked all over, but there was no pain. She couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in her heart and stammered.

The panting beside her ears became more rapid and heavy, but there was still no answer. The claws that were stuck on her neck were just removed and began to tear her clothes.

Li Muran was frightened and didn't think about anything else. She didn't realize that the claws had tried their best to reduce the force. She subconsciously believed that the other party wanted to strip her naked and eat her. As soon as her neck was freed, she struggled desperately, but the body pressing on her back was too majestic and heavy. Even if she awakened her superpowers, her strength was still not enough.

"Don't...don't...Director, let's...let's bite her neck first..." She struggled several times but couldn't move forward even half an inch, instead provoking a more intense reaction from the person on her body. She was about to cry. Thinking of being eaten alive, she was about to collapse and had no idea what she was saying.

"...I haven't taken a shower for a long time...it's dirty...and smelly..." Li Muran scratched the carpet under her in vain, and found that her previous life-saving ability had no reaction at this moment, and she was even more desperate. However, as she was talking, she suddenly found something wrong.

It turned out that Song Yan, who was transformed into an alien beast, seemed to have retained a glimmer of rationality and refused to hurt Li Muran. After trying a few times but failing to grab the clothes off, he gave up and rubbed her through the clothes.

Feeling the huge stick-like object randomly hitting and rubbing between the hips, waist and thighs, and the unbearable panting in her ears, but never feeling the pain of being bitten, Li Muran, no matter how slow she was, reacted to what was happening now. The expression on her face froze for a moment, and then she suddenly started to have a fever.

She was dumbfounded. She was a little panicked, and even more afraid, but she didn't feel disgusted like when she was a teenager and found out that her stepfather was peeping at her bathing. She didn't know whether it was because she had just survived a disaster and couldn't think too much, or because it was Song Yan. But she didn't want to be raped for no reason. But

the current situation didn't seem to let her decide whether she was happy or not.

Lying there in panic, Li Muran didn't dare to speak out to provoke the man who seemed to be unconscious and acting on instinct. She could only endure those unspeakable actions awkwardly and try not to stimulate him to do more excessive things. After a long time, she actually felt the eager desire from his actions, but the emotions that she tried hard to suppress. Inexplicably, she felt a little soft-hearted, so the other party's hot breath and strong and powerful movements became clear, and a strange feeling gradually arose in her heart.

Outside the screening room, Xiao Sheng and Wu He leaned against the wall and waited, but there was no response for a long time, and they couldn't help but worry.

"Muran..." Xiao Sheng called out in a low voice tentatively, and naturally no one answered. The uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger. He raised his hand and touched the door of the projection room along the wall. When he touched the closed door, he couldn't help but said, "Oh no." He didn't care about much anymore and pushed the door open to break in.

But soon his movements froze. He couldn't see with his eyes, but he heard the ambiguous panting in his ears. As a man, how could he not know what was happening. However...

"Get out!" Song Yan's hoarse voice sounded in the darkness, with strong anger.

Xiao Sheng's old face flushed, and he quickly retreated. He didn't forget to pull Wu He, who was following closely behind him, out, and then closed the door again. Then he laughed at Wu He's confused questioning, stretched out his hand and slapped the boy on the back of his head, and his mood was completely relaxed.

Li Muran wanted to die, feeling the wetness and fishy smell coming from her buttocks through her pants, and she wanted to cry but had no tears. Just now when Xiao Sheng broke in, Song Yan actually pushed between her legs and ejaculated, and the stuff was all on her pants. She didn't know how to get down later.

"I want to fuck you for real once!" Song Yan suddenly leaned over and whispered in her ear, his voice was low and sexy, with a rare ruffian nature.

Li Muran was a very conservative girl, how could she stand such rogue words, plus what happened before, she felt ashamed, annoyed and embarrassed. She didn't reply, but just tried to push him away silently, and then leave here quickly. Maybe Song Yan was different to her. If it was another person, she might have to fight him to the death. You know, when she was in Wangyang Town, she killed a person who tried to violate her, castrated him and threw him outside to warn other people with bad intentions. Of course... it is not ruled out that she is a little short of strength now.

"Don't move, let me hold you for a while." Song Yan didn't intend to let her go just like that. But the tone of his voice was no longer frivolous as before, and he was much calmer. He probably knew that she was thin-skinned, and it would be bad for him if she was really annoyed.

Li Muran struggled but couldn't move. The person behind her was pressing her down like a rock, so she knew that this sentence was not a negotiation. She was depressed, but she could only lie there obediently.

"Good girl..." Feeling her helplessness, Song Yan laughed softly, rubbed her neck, and praised her in a not-so-serious way. His voice was low and gentle, and the ending tone was trembling, which was very seductive. Li Muran's scalp tingled, thinking that he was going to say something messy and nonsense again, but who would have thought that his tone suddenly changed and became very sincere: "Thank you."

Li Muran was confused and bewildered, and didn't understand why he said such a sentence without any reason. Thinking back to the two of them meeting, it seemed that this was the first time she heard these words. Although she was a little annoyed by his previous behavior, she seemed a little embarrassed to care about it after being disturbed by this sentence.

Li Muran would not understand how heavy the content of this thank you was, and Song Yan would not explain it to her.

It turned out that after he turned into a beast, his mind was not very clear, and he found this shopping mall completely by instinct and the guidance of the fire. The team members waiting for him at the exit of the underground parking lot had an incomparable attraction to him who seemed to be hungry at all times, but he still retained a trace of rationality and knew that he could not hurt the people inside, so he bypassed them, climbed up to the top floor from the wall on the other side, and hid in it, hoping to use the isolation of distance to restrain his bestiality.

But if no one finds him, and this continues, the little humanity left in his body may be slowly worn away by hunger, desire, and hostility, and he will eventually forget who he is and become one of the many mutant beasts outside. If it was Xiao Sheng or Wu He who came in to find him, he would probably be unable to suppress the ferocity in his body because of the human smell on the other person, and would directly swallow the person into his stomach, thus accelerating his beast transformation process.

Only Li Muran, her specialness in his heart and the smell of female hormones emanating from her body stimulated his unprecedented sexual desire and suppressed his desire to eat. Even so, if she resisted too fiercely and crazily at that time, I am afraid he would still not be able to control the ferocity in his body and tear her into pieces.

So it can be said that her familiar smell, the information conveyed by her body, and her female identity saved her life and redeemed him. And he was able to maintain a trace of reason when he was completely beasted, without causing substantial harm to her, nor killing a member of the convoy. With this self-control alone, few people can match him.

"It's good that you're okay." After a long time, Li Muran finally couldn't stand the ambiguous atmosphere gradually intertwined by the darkness, silence, the two bodies pressed together, and the strange smell in the air, and spoke with difficulty. She had to admit that she was very worried when she saw him become like that, otherwise she wouldn't dare to come in alone. But since both of them were like this, how would they get along in the future?

After saying that, she moved uncomfortably, and her ears were burning hot and urged: "Brother Sheng and the others are still waiting outside. You are injured, let Wu He treat you..."

Before she finished speaking, she felt her hair being touched, and then the whole person was turned over and her lips were blocked. The soft, wet and hot tongue stretched into her mouth, ravaging as if no one was around. Her eyes suddenly widened, but she couldn't see anything without using her mental power. The tingling feeling spread through the tip of the tongue to her whole body, instantly draining her strength, her body was soft and hot, and she even forgot to refuse.

"Muran, I will become like a normal person." Song Yan rubbed her lips with his lips, as if he was promising something.

Li Muran was so dizzy from the kiss that she couldn't help but frown when she heard him talking. She tilted her head to the side. The way she tried to wake up made Song Yan eager to move again. But he restrained himself in the end because he didn't want to scare her.

In fact, Song Yan's current condition was not good at all. It was just that his body, which had grown rapidly before, had recovered and was a little taller than usual, but the scales on his body and face had not faded, so the original outline could be barely seen, which was more serious than Nan Shao's. If he walked out like this, he didn't know how many people would be scared. He didn't care what others thought, but he didn't want to see her fear and alienation.

"... Let's go out." Li Muran finally came to her senses. She felt the hard object against her lower abdomen. How could she dare to stay any longer? There was already a pleading tone in her tone.

"Okay." Song Yan didn't embarrass her anymore, and his tone was unusually gentle.

Chapter 253 Chilling on a Cold Night

Song Yan didn't go down to the underground parking lot in the end. When he went out to meet Xiao Sheng and Wu He, he found that, except for Li Muran, he would be full of anger, irritability, and an uncontrollable hunger when facing other people, and he was extremely eager to see death and blood on the ground.

He stayed on the seventh floor. Looking down at the various mutant beasts outside the building through the glass wall, he was ready to vent his violence on them.

His wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the toxins injected into his body were also decomposing rapidly. It wouldn't be long before he could recover to normal. All of this was due to the strong physique of the mutant beasts. However, he was not proud of it. Because it meant that the difference between him and humans was getting bigger and bigger.

He was a human, not an animal. Not to mention a monster.

Xiao Sheng took Wu He, who was useless because he couldn't get close, down first. He had to take over the overall situation instead of Song Yan. Li Muran couldn't go with them, not because Song Yan didn't allow it, but because of the dirty pants. She had to find a pair of pants to change, and she was really embarrassed. What was more hidden was that she was still worried about Song Yan and couldn't bear to leave him here alone. Although his previous behavior was a little scary, it didn't really hurt her after all.

When getting the pants, Li Muran specially helped Song Yan find the largest size sportswear. Because of his hands, he only put on a pair of pants, which he put on very reluctantly. However, they were too tight and too short, and looked very uncomfortable. She had no choice. She didn't know how to alter clothes. She could only hope that he would return to normal soon.

"Are you hungry? I'll go down and get some food." Remembering that Song Yan was very hungry when he first transformed into a beast, and it seemed that he could never be full no matter how much he ate, Li Muran endured the discomfort in her heart and asked.

"No need." Song Yan refused without thinking, and let her stay here. He left quickly, and soon brought up two silk quilts and a pillow, put them on the sofa, and said to Li Muran, "Go to sleep."

Li Muran froze for a moment, and after a moment she realized that he didn't mean anything else. A little embarrassed, she had to ask, "What about you?"

"If you want to invite me, just say so." Song Yan's gangster nature was revealed again.

Li Muran didn't dare to speak, and didn't even take off her coat, and got into the quilt. This is a habit developed in the end times. Who knows when she will be attacked by zombies and mutants, and it will be too late to get dressed then.

Unexpectedly, before she lay down, she was pulled out by Song Yan again, and his claws clumsily tried to pull down the zipper on her clothes. Just when Li Muran was frightened by his action, he said, "Take off your coat, or you'll be cold when you get up." After a pause, he added two more words, "Don't worry, I'm here."

It was obvious that he would not give up unless she cooperated. In order to avoid other unexpected situations, Li Muran had to obey. Fortunately, he really didn't have any other thoughts. Seeing that she was obedient, he let go of her hand and stepped aside. In fact, he was also guarding himself, so as not to lose control and become beastly. It was not

until Li Muran fell asleep that he slowly walked over and sat down next to the sofa where she was sleeping. Relying on her breathing and breath to keep himself calm.

Li Muran thought she would be too nervous to sleep, but she had to sleep. She had to recover her supernatural powers as soon as possible, otherwise everyone would be trapped here and didn't know when they could return to the camp. However, she fell into a deep dream almost as soon as she touched the pillow, without even turning over. Maybe it was because she was really too tired, or because even if Song Yan had turned into a beast, his presence could still bring people a great sense of security.

Hearing her smooth and even breathing, Song Yan turned sideways and raised his hand as if to touch her face, but stopped when he saw his black claws. He just lowered his head, his lips almost touching the tip of her nose. He paused for two seconds, then quickly stood up and went to the roof.

There, he felt a mutant beast attacking.

——In

Hulugou, Zhang Yi and Nan Shao had not slept. It was long past the expected time, and Song Yan had not been able to bring the third brigade back. It can be imagined that they were in trouble.

The two were not too worried about this. After all, the strength of the team was there, and with the addition of Song Yan and Li Muran, even if they could not withdraw safely, they would have no problem finding a place to hold on. As long as Li Muran had time to recover his supernatural powers, they would be able to get the news and then find a way to support him. The coal stove

was burning, and the kettle on it made a long and thin sound before it was about to boil. Because the weather was too cold and it was not popular to heat the kang here, they could only burn the iron stove overnight to keep the room warm. They only had to get up once or twice in the middle of the night to add coal.

Several children were attracted by the sick donkey and stayed there. Even Zhang Ruiyang didn't stick to his father anymore. Only Dudu ran away from home again. Anyway, it had a criminal record and was very good at escaping, so no one was worried.

"If there is really an existence that we can't fight against and is controlling all this, what can we do?" It was Zhang Yi who brought up this taboo topic, because no one wanted to think about it, and it seemed that even thinking about it was a mistake. Pei Yuan had made blind guesses in this regard before, but after what happened tonight, even he remained silent.

It's fun to think about it, but when it becomes a fact, it's a nightmare that can't be escaped. But some things have to be faced after all, and escaping can't solve the problem, so Zhang Yi solemnly brought this conjecture to the surface for the first time. If this is really the reason for the end of the world, they can at least be mentally prepared to face the worst case scenario, and if not, then what else do they have to be afraid of?

"Become stronger than him." Nan Shao blurted out.

Zhang Yi was choked and looked at him helplessly, not sure whether he was joking or really thinking so.

Nan Shao was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"Then how long do you think it will take to become stronger than him?" Zhang Yi laughed, and his depressed mood suddenly became much brighter. He jokingly followed his train of thought and asked.

To his surprise, Nan Shao really calculated seriously. After a long while, he raised his head and said very seriously: "I have never seen his strength, so I can't guess. But if we only consider controlling all the mutants and zombies on the earth, combined with my current superpower growth rate, the evolution of zombies and mutants, and the influence of various external conditions, it may take 700 to 1,000 years. Well... this is the most ideal result. For the clouds and climate that cover us, my superpowers can't do anything for the time being. But when my superpowers evolve to a certain extent, maybe related abilities will appear. Even if I don't, there are other humans."

Zhang Yi was stunned. He felt that the hypothetical dilemma was told by Nan Shao, as if... it seemed not unsolvable. But they... oh, no, it should be humans who need time, after all, they can't live that long. Do they have time?

"Can you live that long?" At this moment, Shi Pengsan, who was sleeping on the sofa, suddenly spoke.

"After you die, let's not talk about whether there will be other life-powered people. Even if there are, they will have to practice and upgrade again, and they will die again when they reach or even before they reach your level. Unless you can be like Xiaoyaozi in Tianlong Babu, and pass on your life's skills to your successor before you die." Someone else coldly replied, but it was Xu Jing who came out of nowhere. She sat against the wall, playing with a 95-type short rifle in her hand.

Nan Shao was silent. Since the ant-shaped mutation, except for Zhang Yi and Zhang Ruiyang, when other people talked to him, he would decide whether to respond based on his mood.

"Even the dead can walk around, who can say for sure that we can't live a few hundred more years." Routa Chen yawned and walked out of the room, then wrapped his clothes tightly and squatted by the stove, shivering. Getting up at night in this season would be too cold to bear. "Why don't you sleep? Still here in the middle of the night meeting..." What's wrong? Of course, he didn't dare to say the last few words.

"Wait for Muran and the others." Zhang Yi replied.

"Hey, Sister Muran hasn't come back yet? Nothing will happen to her, right?" Routa Chen's eyes suddenly widened and he asked worriedly.

"With Mr. Song here, there shouldn't be any danger." Zhang Yi still believed in Song Yan's strength.

"Then what are you discussing?" Routa Chen rubbed his face hard, yawning repeatedly, very puzzled.

"Just chatting, anyway, I don't have to go out tomorrow." Zhang Yi smiled and told his previous hypothesis, and at the end, he asked: "What do you think?"

Routa Chen was startled and completely sobered up. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head. Just when everyone thought he would say something unrealistic, he spread his hands and said calmly: "Do whatever you want, anyway, I don't have any tricks. Either live well, or die together, anyway, we won't be lonely." As he said that, he suddenly turned his head and grinned at Xu Jing: "Right, Sister Jing."

"You big-headed ghost. You useless guy!" Xu Jing scolded angrily.

"This matter can't be solved by my ability." Routa Chen felt very aggrieved. "How about that? What's your idea? I'm determined to follow your vigorous and coquettish pace."

Xu Jing snorted coldly and didn't say anything. In her heart, she secretly decided to practice the Jie Chen Sect's skills and the methods proposed by Bing Gui as soon as possible, and beat the fat man's face swollen sooner or later. She also knew that she didn't have superpowers now, and she was not like Xiao Yangyang and Jie Chen, who had already practiced superpowers like internal strength... or any other strength. Even though she was proficient in guns and had great skills, she was about to be classified as a waste in the current environment where zombies evolved and mutant animals were rampant. Regardless of the cause of the apocalypse, she had to improve her strength first, and then talk about other things.

"No way." At this time, Shi Pengsan spoke again. It turned out that when others were talking, he was thinking hard, trying to find a ray of hope. "It is impossible to come up with a corresponding solution if you know nothing about the enemy. This assumption is based on a completely unknown situation. There are too many variables, and there is no condition to come up with a reliable solution."

Zhang Yi hummed, agreeing with his statement, but he did not stop talking about this topic.

"Amitabha, my master once taught me to drink today...ah, no, it should be focused on the present." Jie Chen, who even slept in a meditation posture, had been sitting in the corner wrapped in a quilt. Because he did not speak from beginning to end, he was almost ignored by everyone. When he suddenly spoke, he scared the others. "Heaven and earth are not kind, and treat all things as straw dogs. In the past, it would snowstorms when it wanted, and it would thunderbolt whoever it wanted. Now, just treat it as a more cruel guy. We can't see God, so no matter how many ways we have, it will be useless. So, live well first, and then rebuild our home. If God destroys it again, as long as people are still alive, we can rebuild it. Hasn't it been like this since ancient times?"

Chapter 254 Visiting the Sick Ghost

Everyone fell silent. No matter what, the unknown existence is like the doomsday prophecy that was once so popular. It may be true or false. Regardless of whether it is true or false, they are helpless. The only thing they can do is to try their best to survive. Everyone will die. This result has actually been predetermined. What the world has is only the process between life and death. This is true before the end of the world and after the end of the world. It has nothing to do with the cause of the end of the world. Perhaps what they are unwilling to do is that their fate is controlled by others, but when did the fate of mankind take control of their own hands?

My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of God. This sentence itself is a joke. After all, your birth is not something you can decide, and you can't decide your own life and death. You can only struggle in it. Of course, if you are irresponsible and want to commit suicide, you can indeed decide your own death, but suicide itself is because you have lost the courage to live because of being played by fate.

Therefore, in the face of absolute power, Zhang Yi and his people actually have no choice but to try their best to live, live better, and prolong their survival time as much as possible. To achieve this, they can only continuously improve their own strength. Of course, restoring the earth to its original appearance, letting the sun, moon and stars reappear in the sky, and allowing humans to multiply and prosper, this will also become the goal of their and even all the surviving humans to work together. If one generation cannot accomplish it, then the next generation will come. And in this process, maybe one day humans will really confront that unknown existence. Unless before that, "he" destroys the entire earth.

"Okay, I'm afraid I won't be free tomorrow, now everyone go to sleep." After a long time, Zhang Yi stood up, picked up the kettle, and began to add coal to the stove. Since it has been confirmed that everyone will not be negative because of the unknown existence, he doesn't have to worry anymore. What is coming will come, just face it.

Because he was in a safe place, Pei Yuan, who unconsciously revealed his sleepy side as a teenager, missed this extremely brief meeting, and no one mentioned it to him later. One reason is that he felt it was unnecessary, after all, it was just a guess, and the other reason was that he didn't want to talk about it at all. It's still taboo, as if as long as you say more, it will become a fact. I believe no one wants to have a thing squatting over their head that can decide their life, death, honor and disgrace.

This night seemed very short and very long. It was short for Zhang Yi and the others, as it seemed that the day had just come as soon as they lay down on the pillow; it was long for Li Muran and the others, as too many things happened, and some people even walked between life and death. When it was almost dawn, Li Muran finally appeared in the camp with six unawakened team members. The situation over there finally became clear. Yun Ze also received the order to gather everyone and defend the camp.

The materials collected this month have not been transmitted to the Yunzhou base in time, and they are all stored in the newly built warehouse in Hulugou, which can fully meet the consumption of the convoy for half a year. They naturally do not need to retreat for half a year, but it is necessary to avoid the peak of this wave of beast tide and corpse tide to avoid unnecessary casualties.

Li Muran first went to see Yun Ze and conveyed Song Yan's intention. Originally, Song Yan had entrusted this matter to Nan Shao, but since Li Muran was going to send people back, she took care of it as well. Nan Shao didn't like dealing with others anyway. Then she went back to the Yangyang team and said hello to everyone, but declined the offer of assistance. After all, the Third Squadron had sealed all the entrances and exits of the underground parking lot, and the mutant beasts were not like when they first arrived outside the Yunzhou base, not attacking each other and working together to deal with them, so the situation was temporarily stable, and there was no need to drag other people in at this time.

There were about 300 people trapped, and she could send 30 people out a day, which would take about ten days. The only problem was food, but the Third Squadron had already brought some, and she should be able to solve it if she thought of a way. Shui had water and ice abilities, so there was no need to worry. The only thing they needed to do was to strengthen their defenses and resist the waves of attacks from the mutant beasts, waiting for Li Muran to send everyone away, or for the mutant beasts to disperse impatiently.

Before leaving, Li Muran suddenly remembered something and felt it necessary to tell them so that they could be mentally prepared.

"The mutant beast has developed superpowers."

This sentence was like a thunderbolt, shocking Zhang Yi and others. The mutant beasts without awakened superpowers were already difficult for the survivors to deal with, and now they have evolved superpowers...

"I'm leaving. Director Song's body has completely transformed into a beast because he is covering for everyone. He is afraid of hurting the people in the team, so he has isolated himself from the others. I have to ask Brother Bing if there is any way to solve the problem of the beast transformation." Speaking of this, Li Muran couldn't help but think of what Song Yan had done to him after he transformed into a beast. His face couldn't help but get hot, and he turned around and was about to leave. Then he remembered something and looked back at Nan Shao, "Brother Shao, do you want to come?" Facing Nan Shao and the others, she seemed much more casual, and was not worried that saying this would annoy people.

Nan Shao touched his face, hummed, and then reached out and held Zhang Yi's hand, obviously wanting Zhang Yi to go with him.

"I'll go too." Routa Chen thought of the conversation last night, his eyes lit up, and he said immediately.

Then, the silent Shi Pengsan, the smiling Jie Chen, and Xu Jing, who always carried a gun, all stood beside him. Li Muran was stunned for a moment, thinking that they were concerned about Nan Shao, so she was relieved. She was just muttering in her heart, wondering if taking such a large group of people would cause trouble. However, she and Routa Chen had a different relationship, so she naturally would not refuse.

Just when everyone was about to leave, Routa Chen stopped the team again, ran into the room and dug out Pei Yuan, who was still wrapped in a quilt and sleeping soundly. While putting clothes on him, he said, "Don't say that I don't care about you. If you miss this opportunity, you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life."

Pei Yuan would only sleep soundly when he felt safe. After all, he had been in the end times for so long, and he woke up quickly after being awakened. No matter what the matter was, he put on his clothes quickly, picked up his weapon and ran out with Routa Chen.

"What happened? Are zombies attacking?" The boy ran and yelled, until he saw a few people standing outside with a leisurely look, then he slowed down his pace, looked at the sky that was not yet completely bright, and asked in a daze: "What's wrong? Aren't we not going out to kill zombies today?" Later, he saw Li Muran and hurriedly greeted her: "Sister Muran, you are back."

Everyone was very happy, thinking that young people should be full of energy like this, instead of being lifeless like them.

"Let's go see the sick ghost." Routa Chen patted the boy's shoulder with his chubby palm and said with a grin. "Are you going?"

"Go! Go!" Pei Yuan's eyes lit up and he said repeatedly. He was afraid that he would not have enough time to go back to the house to wash up, so he simply grabbed two handfuls of snow from the stone platform next to him and wiped his face like this, and that was it. He was full of curiosity about the sick ghost. He finally had the opportunity to get close to him, so he was not willing to let it go. It was that Routa Chen knew his little thoughts, otherwise why would he pull him out of bed so eagerly.

When they were almost there, Zhang Yi realized, "Is it too early for us to go now?"

"Anyway, no matter when we go, Brother Bing is sleeping." Li Muran was stunned for a moment, and thought that her intuition should be correct. Of course, the most important thing is that since they met, she seemed to have never seen Bing Gui show any displeasure, so even if they woke him up in the middle of the night, it would probably not make him unhappy.

Hearing this, everyone was speechless. It was not until this time that they suddenly realized the specialness of Bing Gui in the team. He did not participate in the elimination of zombies, did not help collect supplies, and of course did not participate in the distribution of supplies. Except that he occupied a house, had a servant with superb force, and later ran a donkey himself, this person had almost no sense of existence. However, it was such a person who was greatly respected in the team, which was also a miracle.

Since Li Muran said so, the few people who had countless questions in their hearts and could not bear it no longer worried, and at most they said they were here to pick up Yang Yang.

The door was slightly ajar, not closed tightly, Li Muran knocked twice and then pushed the door open. She knew very well that it would be better for the sun to rise from the west than for the sick ghost to say "Come in".

When everyone entered, the scene they saw made them speechless for a while.

The sick ghost was still lying on his side on the sofa where he usually slept, and on the other sofa was a donkey lying on its back, with its four legs facing the sky, sleeping soundly. When everyone came in, it opened one of its big eyes and glanced over lazily. It originally didn't intend to pay attention to them, but when it saw Li Muran, it was so scared that it rolled over and fell to the ground, hiding its crotch thing that was originally exposed outside.

The sick ghost rarely showed a faint and almost invisible smile, and then looked at Zhang Yi and others.

"What do you want to ask?" He didn't get up, but asked very straightforwardly, not wanting to listen to those so-called euphemistic nonsense.

He was not angry or impatient. The first thought that came to the minds of the people who were asked was this, and then they remembered the purpose of their coming here. However, the other party was lying down, and it was always not good for them to stand so high, but it was obviously impossible to wait for the sick ghost to invite them, so they had to find a place to sit down first.

"Brother Bing, how can we restore the beast-transformed people to normal?" Li Muran was in a hurry, so he didn't delay and asked his question first.

Bing Gui glanced at her, and that glance seemed to see through everything, which made Li Muran feel a little unnatural, and his ears became hot unconsciously. He slowly said: "It may not be a bad thing." After saying this, he rested for a while before continuing.

"Beast-transformed people have human wisdom and the powerful abilities of the mutant beasts they merged with, and the speed of their evolution is far faster than that of humans."

He began to rest again.

Pei Yuan's eyes sparkled when he heard it, and he wanted to speak, but was stopped by Shi Pengsan who was sitting next to him. Obviously, Bing Gui hadn't finished speaking.

"The most basic beast-transformed people can transform between humans and beasts at will." After a long while, Bing Gui finally spoke again. He glanced at Nan Shao, who had half an ant face, "He, and Song Yan, are not beast-transformed people. Far from it."

Nan Shao looked back at him, and a trace of hostility flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"To become a beastman, in addition to merging with the mutant beast, the most important thing is the confrontation between beast and human nature." At this point, the sick ghost slowly closed his eyes, and after a long time, he continued: "If human nature wins, the beastman will become a human; if beast nature wins, the human will become a beast. No one else can help."

Chapter 255 The sick ghost confessed

that everyone seemed to understand what he said, just like the four meditations and eight concentrations. At first glance, they all understood, but how to actually achieve it was still confusing. Only Nan Shao, who had experienced it personally, showed a thoughtful expression.

"According to what you said, in addition to Nan Shao and Song Yan, are there other people who will also become beasts?" It was Xu Jing who asked the question. She sensitively guessed this meaning from the sick ghost's tone.

The sick ghost didn't even raise his eyelids and hummed softly.

Hearing this, several people showed a slightly relieved expression on their faces. If this was the case, Nan Shao and Song Yan would not be regarded as monsters, and humans could not be said to be helpless against the evolution of zombies and mutant beasts.

As if knowing what they were thinking, the sick ghost pondered for a moment and felt that it was necessary to remind them: "If a person who has transformed into an animal cannot suppress his animal nature, he will be worse than zombies and mutants."

However, the people present did not pay much attention to this. After all, they have not encountered any other animal-transformed humans except Nan Shao and Song Yan, and the two of them have not hurt their own kind at least until now. Even Nan Shao was attacked by a strange survivor as a mutant and a monster, but he did not attack and hurt anyone. Therefore, they subconsciously believed that it was not difficult for human nature to suppress animal nature. The worries about the two people naturally subsided a lot.

"There is one more thing I want to ask you." Zhang Yi told him about Nan Shao's feelings last night and what happened at the Yunzhou base. Then he noticed that the sick ghost did not show any expression of surprise on his face. His heart sank slightly, but he still asked his question. "Excuse me, do you know what the reason is?"

"Tsk! Do you think he is a god? You ask such questions. You might as well ask him how the end of the world came about!" A playful voice suddenly sounded, with obvious disapproval.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and saw that Leng Fengchen had appeared in the hall at some point, leaning against the wall with his arms around his chest, looking at them coldly and sarcastically. His expression was as if he was facing a group of psychopaths.

Seeing that it was him, Nan Shao, who was still thinking about what the sick ghost had said before, suddenly tightened his hand on his knees into a fist, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged. But the next moment, Zhang Yi's hand had covered his fist, gently holding it, and then ignored the man, just looking at the sick ghost. I had never talked to the sick ghost face to face like this before, so when I heard what Li Muran said, I subconsciously thought that this person was mentally abnormal. Until this moment, Zhang Yi realized that as long as the sick ghost was willing to speak, you would unconsciously think about every word he said. You think it's absurd and unbelievable rationally, but in fact, you have already taken his words seriously in your subconscious. No wonder Li Muran was so entangled at the beginning.

Under Zhang Yi's comfort, Nan Shao regained his calm, but he looked at Leng Fengchen with a very unfriendly look.

Others had no good feelings towards Leng Fengchen, but after being in the apocalypse for so long, they would not get into conflicts with others for a few words, so Routa Chen and the others were doing their own things, completely treating him as air. However, Da Qing, who had already stood up and looked like he had forgotten the past, raised his donkey lips and sprayed two mouthfuls of saliva at Leng Fengchen.

Although he was far away, Leng Fengchen still subconsciously dodged for a moment, and then he felt embarrassed and looked at Da Qing with a look of burning donkey meat. Da Qing shook his tail coldly and took a few steps closer to Leng Fengchen.

The sick ghost seemed to be oblivious to the interaction between the man and the donkey, and said calmly: "I feel it. There must be something else that diverted Qin Xuan's attention."

"Who is Qin Xuan?" Zhang Yi asked immediately.

"A cultivator in the Divine Realm." The sick ghost answered indifferently, without any intention of hiding anything. Of course, this is also related to the fact that he must use the other party's son in the future.

"Where is the Divine Realm?" Zhang Yi unconsciously brought out his previous mistakes when interrogating prisoners. Although his tone was still respectful, he threw out questions one after another without stopping.

"Another realm..." The sick ghost lowered his eyes, thought for a while, and added: "In your words, it is above the Nine Heavens. A higher realm than the fairyland."

Zhang Yi choked and felt that he couldn't ask any more. The others were also stunned, only Pei Yuan showed an excited look on his face. If he was not afraid of interrupting Zhang Yi's question, he would have interrupted long ago.

What is he asking? What else is he going to ask... Zhang Yi's mind turned quickly, not wanting to miss this opportunity. Who knows when this person in front of him will be in a bad mood and ignore the people around him like usual. However, this conversation has been running wildly in a direction that is completely beyond the understanding of modern humans, and Zhang Yi feels a little bit out of control.

"Are you also from the Divine Realm?" At this moment, Shi Pengsan suddenly spoke.

The sick ghost hummed as an answer.

Then why did you end up here and become such a ghost? This is the question in everyone's mind. Of course, the question is based on the premise that the "God's Domain" really exists. But no one asked it out. Whether it was true or not, the other party was not their enemy, let alone a criminal. They were completely disdainful of poking people's scars and asking about their private affairs, even if they were extremely curious.

"Is the Earth's current state related to that Qin Xuan?" With a buffer, Zhang Yi finally found his rhythm again. And this question is actually the main purpose of their coming here.

The sick ghost did not answer immediately, but put his hand on the back of the sofa, sat up slowly, and then panted there as if he had done something very hard.

Would this look be a "god"? Can it kill mutant zombies? Doubts arose in everyone's hearts again. However, the children who practiced the exercises he taught during this period of time made obvious progress, and even their appearance changed a lot. Other people who practiced this kind of exercises could also feel their own improvement, but these could not be deceived. So the sick ghost became more and more elusive in their eyes.

"Dad." Just as everyone was waiting for the sick ghost to slow down, a childish voice came from the door on the right side of the living room. Then there was the sound of running footsteps, and the next moment Zhang Ruiyang had already pounced on Zhang Yi's back.

Zhang Yi held the little guy's butt with his hand, and felt the little guy leaning over to kiss his face. He couldn't help but smile, turned his head slightly, and asked: "Did you sleep well last night? Were you cold? Were you hungry?" The man who was originally calm and steady suddenly became as nagging as an old woman.

"I slept well. I slept with brother Yuanzhuo, sister Ziran, and Nannan. There was a thick and warm quilt to cover me, so I wasn't cold at all. I was hungry." Zhang Ruiyang answered each question seriously, and then he greeted the others with a smile, calling out a string of uncles and aunts, and it was rare that he didn't stutter. Even Daqing was lucky enough to be called brother. Only when he saw Leng Fengchen, he paused, a little unhappy, but still called him uncle. The little guy could keenly feel that everyone didn't like Leng Fengchen, so he decided to follow suit, but he still had to be polite. Grandma doesn't like rude children.

Hearing that the child was hungry, Li Muran subconsciously reached into her body and quickly took out two chocolate bars and handed them over. These were what she had found in the mall that morning. There were other people who did the same thing as her, but some of them found nothing and looked embarrassed, while others found a few biscuits, a few candies, etc., and then stuffed them all into the pockets of the little guy.

Zhang Ruiyang was so happy that he slid his bulging clothes bag from Zhang Yi's back to the ground, and then ran to the inner room to share with other children.

The sick ghost's eyes followed the back of the little guy who was too thin to be his peers, until he could no longer see him, then he retracted his gaze and fell on Zhang Yi: "What you eat now can't meet the growth needs of children at all... You must get mutant beasts and mutant plants for them to eat, otherwise as they grow older... their bodies will become thinner and thinner." After a pause, he added: "You'd better change your food, the sooner you adapt to this world, the better it will be for you."

"I see. Thank you." Zhang Yi knew that he was kind-hearted and thanked him quickly. In fact, they themselves had noticed it without being reminded. Their abilities were growing, and their appetites were also growing. They seemed to always be hungry. Not long after eating, they were hungry again. Before, they were thinking whether they were lacking meat and oil. Now, after hearing the advice of the sick ghost, they understood a little.

The sick ghost waved his hand and didn't take it to heart. Instead, he began to answer Zhang Yi's previous question: "In the eyes of the people in the God Realm, the earth you live on is just a very low-level world of creatures... Qin Xuan has refined this place and reset the rules... So there is no sun, moon, stars, and no climate other than rain and snow... Because the Dark Beast King can only be cultivated in such an environment."

At this point, he stopped. It seemed that he was waiting for everyone to continue asking questions, but Zhang Yi and others were completely stunned by this answer, and they didn't even think of asking questions. Even Leng Fengchen, who had been standing there with a nonchalant expression on his face as if listening to the story, had a strange expression on his face. So after a while, the sick ghost, who felt that he had rested enough, continued to speak.

"You have so-called high technology here, but all of this has been sealed by Qin Xuan using rules, especially weapons of mass destruction... and high altitude restrictions..." At this point, he showed a smile without any smile, "This is a cage, imprisoning you, and me... imprisoning all mutant creatures and zombies."

Everyone went from being stunned to now having pale faces, which looked really weird. In fact, if the sick ghost didn't say it, although the current living environment is bad, they would not think that they are people trapped in a cage. After all, humans have lived on the ground for thousands of years, and airplanes and spacecrafts have only appeared in the past hundred years. The earth is our home, how can it be a cage? But now... they don't want to describe the uncomfortable feeling in their hearts.

"You are also from the God's Domain, is there no way to get out?" Meat Tower Chen couldn't help but asked.

"This is his world of living beings. The rules are set by him. He has left a mark on me... There is no way to leave. But the level of this world is too low... He can't come in either. You don't have to think about killing him... You can't see him at all, and you don't have the ability... It will be the same even if you are given another thousand or ten thousand years..."

In this way, it is a supreme existence that can never be defeated, which is similar to what they guessed last night. Zhang Yi and his friends were mentally prepared. Although they felt depressed, they were still within their tolerance range. As for Pei Yuan, who did not attend the small meeting, he did not show any despair or frustration. Instead, the excitement on his face became more and more obvious. It was obvious that he listened to it as a story of cultivation and did not realize the truth and seriousness of this matter.

"Then when will he turn his attention back again? Will he kill all humans?" Zhang Yi spoke again, asking a question that made everyone hang in the balance. After all, according to the sick ghost, it would only take a snap of the fingers for that "god" to destroy humanity.

"I don't know." The sick ghost shook his head, "Maybe today, maybe tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years later...some of you will be able to feel it." At this point, his face seemed to be even paler than before, and he said a little tiredly: "You go, I'm tired. I'll find you later." As for whether mankind will be destroyed, he obviously didn't want to answer it anymore.

Without waiting for everyone to leave, he lay down again, closed his eyes, and his breathing became vague in an instant. Everyone had no choice but to leave, and took the children who had already woken up to have breakfast. The only consolation was that the last sentence the sick ghost said made them know that they still had a chance to talk to him like today. However, this sentence also made them feel very subtle, as if there was something waiting for them in the future.

Leng Fengchen was listening with great interest, and didn't want the topic to stop like this. He was a person who was used to being arrogant, so how could he bear it? As soon as everyone left, he came to the sofa where the sick ghost was lying and said loudly: "Hey, don't pretend to sleep, get up and let's talk...well, talk about the divine realm you mentioned." He was really interested in that.

The sick ghost seemed to be completely asleep, without any reaction. However, there was an angry look in his big blue eyes, which were clearly black and white, and he opened his mouth to bite Leng Fengchen.

Leng Fengchen shook his body and easily avoided it. He curled his lips and said, "You didn't let me disturb him, but I did. Who told him to whet my appetite?" As he said that, he was about to reach out to grab the sick ghost.

Bang! The next moment, Leng Fengchen found himself flying out of the house and fell in the snow. During the whole process, he couldn't even react. This was something that had never happened since he had mastered the martial arts of his family. He was stunned and just sat in the snow, staring blankly into the house.

"Dare to touch me again, you will die!" The sick ghost, who had already fallen asleep, opened his eyes, still maintaining a sleeping posture, with a flat tone and a serious lack of human emotions. After saying that, he closed his eyes again, but his face seemed to be worse.

In the day of minus ten or twenty degrees, Leng Fengchen broke out in a cold sweat for no reason.

Chapter 256 Ronghe Related

Li Muran was in a hurry to return to the mall where the third team was hiding to tell Song Yan about the beast transformation and bring back a few more groups of people, so he came out of the sick ghost, said goodbye to Zhang Yi and the others, and left in a hurry, leaving the others to return to their residence.

At this time, the sky was completely bright, but it was covered with thick clouds as usual, and it was gray and gloomy, making people feel like they were in the underworld. It didn't snow, but the remaining snow on the ground could still easily cover the knees.

"Pumpkin Dad, where is Dudu?" Zhang Ruiyang, holding Zhang Yi's big hand, stepped forward in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, looked up at Nan Shao, and asked. Obviously, although Daqing could temporarily attract the little guy's attention, what really worried him was the fat worm that had walked with him through thick and thin, timid but would protect him.

"Nearby..." Nan Shao paused, and added a not-so-appropriate word: "Playing." It's always bad to make children worry. He began to think about whether to call the stupid bug back, and then he heard the quick-talking Wu Ziran ruthlessly tell the truth.

"I think that coward Dudu must be afraid of Daqing, so he ran away. It was after Daqing came yesterday that Dudu disappeared." The little girl struggled to pull her feet out of the snow, taking off her boots to control the snow that fell into them, and said confidently. She did not forget to refuse Shi Pengsan who wanted to pick her up because she was walking so hard, "Thank you, Uncle Shi San, I'm twelve years old, I can't let adults hold me anymore. Li Yuanzhuo will laugh at me."

Li Yuanzhuo, who was struggling with the snow, raised his head inexplicably. What does it have to do with me? Among

the four children, only the little girl, who was just over two years old, was carried on the shoulders of Routa Chen, and the other three walked by themselves. Even though Zhang Ruiyang was still young, Zhang Yi did not pick him up. If the weather is like this in the future, the children must get used to it sooner.

"Brother Daqing is so handsome, what's there to be afraid of?" Zhang Ruiyang didn't understand at all.

"Because it is Uncle Sick Ghost's mount. Dudu is afraid of Uncle Sick Ghost, so he must be afraid of his mount." Wu Ziran said as a matter of course.

"Dudu is afraid... Hehe..." Little Wu Lan, who was dressed like a ball, heard their conversation and slapped Routa Chen's head with her gloved hands. Her legs were shaking, and she was so excited for some reason.

"Oh, my little ancestor, don't hurt your little slap." Routa Chen hurriedly took the little girl down and clamped her directly under his armpit to prevent his hair from being ravaged.

The little girl's big eyes with long eyelashes flickered twice, but she was not in a hurry. She giggled again in the horizontal position, as if she thought it was very fun.

"Another little guy who doesn't like to cry, but she doesn't talk much." Routa Chen, who was ready to coax the child, pouted and looked at the others. "

She was only about one year old when the apocalypse happened. Her brother was already young, and he had to take her to survive. Where would he have time to teach her to talk?" Zhang Yi answered. At this point, he subconsciously looked down at Yang Yang. Due to the environment, Yang Yang was not as fluent as other children when speaking. It was only after he was separated from him and met more friends that he got better.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh. The damage and changes caused by the end of the world to mankind were too great. Children like these who were supposed to be held in the palm of their parents' hands and protected had to take up weapons to face ugly and brutal zombies and mutant creatures. Even one or two-year-old children knew to hold back their voices and dare not cry when they were scared, not to mention that there were more children who died early in this disaster. If everything was really done by the god realm cultivator named Qin Xuan mentioned by the sick ghost, even if this person was torn into pieces, it would be difficult to eliminate the hatred in the hearts of humans.

"Brother Daqing is not Uncle Bing's mount... I think Brother Daqing is Uncle Bing's good friend, just like Dudu is my good friend." On the other side, the two children were still arguing.

"Oh my, Xiao Yangyang, you are done for. How can sick uncle be good friends with a donkey? If sick uncle hears it, he will be very angry and spank your butt."

Hearing about spanking, Zhang Ruiyang subconsciously covered his butt with his hand, but quickly reacted, "No way. I'm not wrong. Dudu is my good friend."

"But Daqing is not Dudu. Daqing is a little donkey." Wu Ziran followed up.

"..." It seems so. Zhang Ruiyang was at a loss and had completely forgotten the point of their previous argument.

Li Yuanzhuo looked at him sympathetically. He wanted to help bring the topic back, but thinking about Wu Ziran's ability to change the subject, he finally decided to remain silent.

The adults couldn't help but smile when listening to the childish talk of the two little guys. Their originally extremely depressed mood seemed to have improved a lot.

"We must inform Lao Qiao and the others as soon as possible about the zombies' superpowers."

Back in the house, Zhang Yi poured hot water for the children to wash up, Nan Shao and Routa Chen helped, Pei Yuan rushed to get the pot for cooking, and began to add water to it, preparing to cook noodles, while Jie Chen took the bowls and chopsticks. Xu Jing returned to the house and stretched her waist and legs. Shi Pengsan sat there alone in silence for a while, and suddenly said.

Zhang Yi handed the water and towel to the children and ignored them. Hearing this, he turned around and did not directly reject Shi Pengsan's proposal, but calmly analyzed it to him: "Now is the peak time for the zombies and mutant beasts to spread around the Yunzhou base. It's no different from sending us to our deaths if we go out, let alone delivering the message. The Third Battalion is trapped in the city, and the damage caused by a head-on confrontation is too great. They can only rely on Muran to send them back. She can't spare the time to help us at this time. If we delay a few more times, no one can guarantee whether the price paid will be several or even dozens of lives. On the contrary, on the other side of Ronghe, because of the geographical environment of the county, It should be safe in the short term. If we go back now, let's not talk about whether we can arrive smoothly. Even if we arrive, will it attract more zombies and mutants? "

Shi Pengsan wiped his face with his hand and said in a low voice: "I am impatient." It's not that he doesn't understand these things, but he can ignore other people, but Qiao Yong is his life and death brother, and most of the people he brings are old, weak, sick and disabled. There are really few who can fight, especially more than half of them are unawakened. Seeing these zombies and mutants are getting stronger and stronger, how can he not be anxious.

"I know, Brother Shi San." Zhang Yi could understand his mood, walked over and patted his shoulder comfortingly, saying: "As soon as the peak of the zombie beast tide recedes, we will go back immediately."

Apart from this, it seems that there is no other way. Shi Pengsan reluctantly pulled his lips and thanked Zhang Yi. Nan Shao

glanced over here and kicked the meat tower Chen who was wiping Xiao Nannan's face. Routa Chen staggered and turned back in confusion. He was about to ask himself why he had provoked this gentleman again, but when he glanced at Zhang Yi and Shi Pengsan, he immediately reacted and said loudly to Shi Pengsan: "Brother Shisan, don't worry. At worst, Muran can take us with him when he goes back next time, and we will wait in Longren City. Then let Muran send us 20 kilometers away, and we can drive back by ourselves. The road is a bit dangerous, but wasn't it dangerous when we came here? There's nothing to be afraid of." At this point, he patted the little girl in front of him who was waiting for him to wipe her face obediently, "It's a pity that I can't take the little guys with me. Maybe I will miss them when I go back..." Then he pinched the little girl's tender face and teased her: "Little darling, will you miss Uncle Fatty?"

"Yes." The little girl looked at him naively, having no idea what they were talking about, but still opened her mouth to answer.

"Oh, you're so good. You might as well just be my daughter." Routa Chen was very happy and kissed Xiao Nannan on the face.

Xiao Nannan raised her little hand to rub her face which was stung by the stubble, and then lowered her head to play in the water.

Zhang Yi pondered, thinking about the feasibility of what Routa Chen said. It would be a lie to say that he was not worried about Qiao Yong and those people in Ronghe, but he had a son and a lover after all, so he couldn't help but have more concerns. And this time when they go back, Li Muran must not go with them. After they return to Ronghe, it will be difficult for them to come back. What should Li Muran do? These are all problems. Even if they want to leave, they have to think carefully.

Before he could figure it out, Shi Pengsan had already refused: "No, I'm just too concerned. In fact, as long as it's not a tide of zombies like this, Lao Qiao should be able to deal with it with his ability." Knowing that he was going to die, he still led his teammates forward, which was pure murder. There

might be no vehicles blocking the road, but the snow and mutant plants would slow down the journey. If they encountered a group of mutant beasts and zombies that were spreading, no matter how powerful Nan Shao was, plus Shi San's ability, plus Zhang Yi's knife, they would not be able to withstand it. And this situation would definitely happen unless he won the jackpot. As for going alone, he would not even think about it. It's not that he was afraid, but he knew he didn't have the strength.

At this time, Nan Shao came over, sat on the long sofa next to him, and pulled Zhang Yi over by the way.

"Notifying Team Qiao that the mutant animals have awakened their abilities is secondary. I think you should consider another thing first." He said.

"What is it?" Zhang Yi was slightly stunned and asked. Even Shi Pengsan, who was full of worry, turned his eyes to Nan Shao, because he knew that Nan Shao would never shoot without a purpose.

"Our team is hiding in the Rong River, isolated and helpless. How long can we last in the end times?" Nan Shao said.

When this question came out, everyone was silent.

At the beginning, they couldn't stand the exploitation of the Bowei Base, so they chose to leave and then wanted to build a place to live. If they had stayed in the Rong River, they might not have had any ideas, but since leaving the Rong River, the crisis along the way, plus the incident at the Yunzhou Base this time, and the words of the sick ghost, all these made them finally understand how ridiculous it was to want to live a stable life in a corner with dozens of people in the end times. Especially since most of their team is old, weak, and unawakened.

"What do you mean?" Shi Pengsan frowned and asked.

Nan Shao put his arm around Zhang Yi's waist, shrugged, and said indifferently: "I don't mean anything. I will do whatever Ayi wants."

Shi Pengsan was speechless. This man is obviously intelligent, resourceful, and powerful, but he doesn't care about anything and only wants to be his good husband. It's a wonder. Fortunately, Zhang Yi is not a fool, otherwise it's hard to say how many terrible disasters he would have done.

"We can't go back to the Bowei base." Zhang Yi was unaware of it. While thinking, he said, his body subconsciously leaning against the back of the sofa, and Nan Shao moved slightly, and fell directly into his arms. Zhang Yi had something on his mind, and he had long been accustomed to Nan Shao's intimacy, so he didn't notice anything wrong, and just continued to say: "The Yunzhou base is too far away, and the road is too dangerous. Not everyone may be willing to come. Moreover, the geographical location of the Yunzhou base is really not safe. If we are surrounded again next time, I'm afraid no one will come to rescue us."

"I do have an idea." Xu Jing wiped the sweat off her face and walked out of the house. Without waiting for anyone to ask, she started talking: "Mr. Song's convoy can't stay in Hulugou forever. It's too narrow. They have to find a place to stay. It's better to persuade them to

go to Ronghe." "I heard from Muran that they are going to the northwest border of Yunzhou." Zhang Yi did have this idea, but because Li Muran had mentioned the destination of the convoy, he quickly gave it up.

"Maybe we can give it a try." Thinking that if the Song family convoy went to Ronghe, with their strength, the safety of the Ronghe base would be guaranteed. Moreover, after such a long period of cooperation, Shi Pengsan still has a good impression of this team with strong discipline, clear division of labor and no discrimination against non-awakened people. When he heard this proposal, he couldn't help but be excited and said.

Chapter 257: The Situation of Ronghe River

Zombies are mindless and without human control. Unless they are attracted by the smell of blood, popularity and sound, they will just wander aimlessly. There are tens of millions of zombies gathered around the Yunzhou base. Although the Song family team has been clearing them out for nearly a month, the manpower is meager and the number of zombies killed is less than one-tenth. Except for some zombies that are still wandering around the Yunzhou base, the rest will not obediently return to the city from which they came, but will only block the roads.

To go to the southwest of Yunzhou, whether from Gaogu City or by detouring to Xinlong, you must make a passage through the dense group of zombies. This is no easier than the previous clearing work. You know, as long as they move, it is easy to attract all the zombies that have begun to disperse.

The previous clearing of zombies was to relieve the siege of the Yunzhou base. Now that the mutant beasts have begun to disperse, the siege of the base has been mostly lifted. The rest is to wait for the zombies to slowly disperse. No one knows how long this process will take, maybe one or two months, maybe one or two years. In any case, these zombies are no longer a big threat to the survivors of the base. The only thing they will cause is a food crisis. But if we take into account the use of mutant plants and animals and the high-speed reproduction and growth ability of mutant plants, this may not be a big deal. In addition, with the remaining more than 100,000 people in the base, it is not difficult to use the base as a barrier to pass through Zhang County, or Longren, Gaogu, etc. to open a way out. It is just a matter of time. So, seriously speaking, the existence of the convoy is no longer so important to the base.

If Song Yan leads the convoy just to build a base where he can customize the rules by himself, instead of going to someone, it is not cost-effective to spend a lot of time, manpower and materials on the road. Because this world is changing at any time, the conditions will become worse and worse, and the mutant creatures that are naturally opposite to them will evolve too fast. If they do not settle down and seek development as soon as possible, they will only be more and more unable to keep up with the rhythm of the end of the world. Although fighting can make people stronger, people will be tired, especially long-term mental tension. Especially for the convoy that has experienced a long journey.

Therefore, Shi Pengsan believes that it is feasible to persuade Song Yan to take the convoy to Ronghe to take root and establish a base. You have to know that Ronghe is a county town. The original resident population plus the tourist population is several hundred thousand. Of course, there are probably several hundred thousand zombies now. Because of the remote location and the dense zombie population, the supplies in the county town have hardly been touched. And there are only two entrances and exits, one leading to the highway, and the other exit directly to the towns and villages at all levels. It is not like the Yunzhou base, which is well connected, nor is it like the narrow and self-trapped Hulugou. More importantly, it is also next to the main traffic road. It can echo with the Bowei base when going to Zhongzhou, and it can connect to the Yunzhou base when going to Yunzhou, so it will not be blocked from information. It is better than the military location in the wilderness where most ordinary people can't even find the direction to absorb survivors.

What is the most important condition for human survival in the end times? Strength and population. Only strength, lack of population, is just a tree without roots, and will dry up and die sooner or later. With population but no strength, it is a piece of tender fat meat, and everyone will want to take a bite. Only with these two can we move forward steadily step by step in the apocalypse where human life is as shaky as fluff.

Just when Shi Pengsan, who was always taciturn, was rarely discussing the pros and cons and feasibility of leading the Song family convoy to Ronghe County with Zhang Yi and others, something happened to Ronghe, which they were concerned about. After

Zhang Yi and others left, Qiao Yong led the remaining people to build a camp and collect supplies. Occasionally, they encountered several groups of survivors who failed to escape in time after the apocalypse, but there were not many people. The largest number was only eight people, who were neighbors in a building, and the smallest was only one person, a total of 25 people. When they found those people, they were so thin that they looked like humans, and no one knew how they survived.

The camp accepted everyone, except for one who survived by eating human flesh. Qiao Yong killed that person himself. At that time, Qiao Yong said this to the new survivors who were trembling with fear and all the old people.

"Relying on cannibalism to survive, what's the difference between zombies and mutants?"

In his opinion, since they have lost their humanity, they should not be regarded as human beings. Of course, before taking action, Qiao Yong had confirmed that the man was killing and eating people, not eating the bodies of dead people. If it was the latter, he would turn a blind eye. Because he knew that sometimes in order to survive, many things are forced. Sometimes, the dead have to make way for the living.

Apart from this infuriating incident, in general, the development of the new camp was very smooth.

One month after Zhang Yi and his team left, Ge Ayi and Nan Wei, who were out looking for food, were caught by Liu Xia and others who were collecting supplies. For Nan Shao's sake, Liu Xia brought the man back to the camp, and then Qiao Yong recognized Ge Ayi. In the end, the four of them, old and young, followed and moved into the camp. There was finally some guarantee of safety.

Most of the old people didn't like Nan Wei, but they didn't want to embarrass him. Instead, they liked Ge Ayi, who was able to survive with an old man and a little girl. Although this child always swore.

After getting along for a long time, Ge Ayi's heart, which was always worried that they would be bullied, gradually calmed down. Except for Qiao Yong, who always appeared out of nowhere and knocked on his head to teach him a lesson when he cursed, he felt that such a life was still very good. At least it was much better than when he lived in someone else's house. As

for Nan Wei, he was no longer as timid as when he first joined the team. He showed some pride in his bones from time to time in his humbleness. He wanted to integrate but couldn't find a way. He just often sat in a corner alone in a daze. He would only be a little spirited when Ge Ayi scolded him. Most of the time, he didn't say a word, and buried his head in what he should do. His back looked bleak and lonely.

Everyone has his own thoughts and everyone has his own tragic past. The sixty or so survivors, old and new, in the camp did not even look at him, let alone sympathize with him. They were busy, hoping to build a stable and safe home as soon as possible. They cleared out zombies and dangerous mutant plants, hoping that the county would be clean one day, just like before the end of the world. They no longer dared to think about more, such as abundant food, national rescue, the survival of loved ones and relatives, and the return of order and stability to the world...

They wanted very little, and were ready to achieve it with their own hands and lives. However, this insignificant desire was eventually cruelly deprived.

There is a very large mutant tree in the county town of Ronghe County. Zhang Yi and his team had seen this tree when they first came. It was the tree with fruits that would explode, and the roots that could stir the concrete ground like mud and swallow zombies. At the beginning, Zhang Yi and his team were worried that if the tree swallowed too many zombies, it would take the entire county into its territory. Unexpectedly, the fleeting thought at that time became a reality after several months.

The tree did not grow into a towering tree that covered the entire county, but its roots had already occupied the underground of the entire county. It was unknown when this happened, perhaps before Zhang Yi and his team arrived, or perhaps in the last month. The survivors were optimistic and actively building their homes, and knew nothing about it until one day when the team that went to the closed cave behind the air-raid shelter accidentally discovered the densely coiled and twisted roots like a giant python above their heads, and then they knew what kind of danger they were in.

Only one person from the team that went to explore that day escaped, and the remaining four died inside. The startled roots of the giant tree showed its terrifying and violent side, directly piercing a team member who could not dodge, then twisting it into several sections, and finally sucking it clean with skin and bones. This scene still appeared from time to time in the dream of the person who escaped many years later, and he screamed and could no longer fall asleep.

This person is Zhao Chun. He was able to escape because he was unwilling to become a burden to the team because of his broken arm, and he trained his legs, one arm, and the strength, speed, and coordination of his whole body in a self-torturing way every day. In the underground maze with many winding passages, he relied on his daily hard work and the powerful potential stimulated in critical moments, and with an incredible ability to distinguish directions, he still accurately found the exit in the darkness after the flashlight fell.

Because of his escape, he saved the lives of the people still in the air-raid shelter.

After that, Qiao Yong only listened to half of Zhao Chun's words, and then he made a prompt decision, asked everyone to get on the car, and started to flee. And the facts proved how wise his decision was.

The giant tree revealed its other side that was cunningly hidden under the calm. The huge roots began to emerge from all over the county. For a time, houses collapsed, the ground sank, and other mutant plants were uprooted, as if the doomsday disaster had come again.

Fortunately, Qiao Yong and his team were familiar with most of the roads in the county when they collected supplies, and they also cleared out several commonly used roads. There were also locals among them to show the way. In the end, the team rushed out of the county at the fastest speed. Naturally, they did not go to the end with the poisonous stone wood, but to the end leading to the township. Even so, they still lost nearly one-third of their people. Among them, there were several people who had been together since the Bowei.

Because of the haste of the matter, they didn't even have time to bring food and gasoline, so not long after leaving the county town, they ran out of gas before even reaching the nearest town, and finally had to flee on foot. On

the first night, they stayed in a farmyard in Qingping Township. They didn't find any food, and finally had to look for mutant plants to fill their stomachs.

It was also on this night that they decided to go to Yunzhou. Because they heard more than once from the survivors' convoy passing by that there was a Yunzhou base there. After experiencing what happened in Ronghe County, they also realized how difficult it was for such a small number of people like them to find a place to live in the end times. They must find more survivors, and then stay with them to resist the emergencies that may occur at any time. Otherwise, the next time they encounter such a thing, they will have no choice but to escape.

Chapter 258 Another wave of people

However, Bowei has now changed beyond recognition, and the base is not big. In addition, the person in charge is unpredictable, so going back is not a good choice. So they decided to go to Yunzhou Base to have a look. It is said that there are more than 200,000 people living there. This number may be the population of a small town before the end of the world, but now it is a remarkable number for them. Since so many people have gone there to seek refuge, it means that this base should be pretty good.

And there is another reason, that is, maybe they can meet Zhang Yi Nanshao and others. In the hearts of most old people, Nanshao has become a stabilizing force.

Without a car or food, it is undoubtedly an extremely difficult task to walk from Ronghe to Longren City in Yunzhou. There are children aged four or five, elderly people in their sixties and seventies, women with weak physical strength and disabled people in the team. Such a combination is obviously not suitable for such a long journey. However, the decisive factor that supports them to make this choice is that they want to see more people.

Some of them have stayed in Ronghe for more than a year after the end of the world, and some have stayed for several months. The feeling they all have is loneliness. A kind of loneliness that came from the bones, as if there were only a few dozen of them left in the world. This feeling became particularly obvious after the giant tree tore off the mask of calmness, and reached its peak when they staggered and fled in the cold snow, prompting them to have a desire to get closer to the crowd.

Find more people, whether it is the Yunzhou base or somewhere else. It is better to have a lot of people, even if they are wary of each other, rarely talk, or even have disputes and strife, than to struggle alone like now.

Qiao Yong wanted to solve the problem of the car. After all, walking not only requires great physical strength, but also faces more dangers. However, it is not difficult to find a car, but it is difficult to find oil. They searched for a long time near Qingping Township, but they couldn't find any oil or food. There were not even a few zombies. This place was like being combed by a comb, and nothing was left.

Not going to waste time going to other towns, Qiao Yong finally decided to search while walking, but he didn't have much hope in his heart.

They took a long detour to find the highway from Zhongzhou to Yunzhou. In the process, they still couldn't find a car, but they got some food, salt, and some pickles. The quantity was not much, but it was better than nothing. Especially the salt. Then almost everyone carried more or less wood and coal on their backs, so as not to find firewood to make a fire when they rested at night. In such cold weather, it was tantamount to waiting to freeze to death.

Since they got on the highway and went all the way, because there were often survivors coming and going, the road had been plundered cleanly. Food and heating became the main problems of the Ronghe team. Unknowingly, the mutant plants had become their main food.

Qiao Yong felt that he had lived for more than 40 years, and he had never had such a difficult time as this time. He had wandered between life and death countless times before, but because he was alone, or his companions were guys like Shi Pengsan, so he would not feel helpless no matter what. However, now, watching the elderly and children in the team walking hard in the snow, he always had the urge to roar to the sky and vent all his irritability and helplessness.

Since these people escaped from the terrifying attack of the mutant giant tree, he wanted to take them safely to the Yunzhou base, or some other base. But the road ahead was covered with heavy snow and he was not sure at all.

The only thing that comforted him was that the superpowers in the team did not complain about taking care of these old, weak and disabled people, nor did they mean to go their separate ways. It seemed that after living in Ronghe for several months, they valued and cherished their companions who had walked with them more.

However, when Qiao Yong and his team struggled but hoped to move towards Yunzhou, they could not imagine that the danger there was no less than that of Ronghe County.

At the same time, another team was also heading towards Longren City, Yunzhou. Or in other words, their destination should actually be Yuling at the junction of Yunzhou and Chengzhou.

This team consisted of five vehicles, all armored vehicles, including three "Wild Dog" 2 and two transport vehicles. The route they took was almost the same as the one Song Yan's convoy had taken, except that they took a detour in Gelao Township because of the zombies. Even armored vehicles would only be overturned when facing a dense group of zombies. They didn't dare to be stupid and think they could just run over them.

"Wouldn't it be too arrogant to go like this?" In the first "Wild Dog" 2, a man wearing a big cotton coat, a Leifeng hat on his head, and his hands in his pockets, half leaning and half lying on the seat, asked the person sitting next to him. This person's appearance was not unusual, but his lazy look was unforgettable. It was Shen Chi who had met Song Yan at the Beijing base.

"Arrogant?" The person next to him was wearing a winter combat uniform, with his hands on his knees, sitting straight, staring at the front, and didn't even move his eyelids when he heard the question, but just replied in a very simple and straight manner.

"Of course, with all the noise, how can we not attract attention wherever we go? Isn't it obvious that someone is going to rob us?" Shen Chi pouted and chatted in boredom, even he himself felt bored.

"I don't think so." The man replied.

"Fuck! Cong San, it's so boring to talk to you." Shen Chi raised his foot in frustration and was about to kick the other person.

His movements were fast, but the man called Cong San was even faster. He raised his hand and poked Shen Chi's waist, and Shen Chi only raised half of his leg before falling back.

"Fuck, bastard, do you have to be so ruthless?" Shen Chi felt sore and numb in his waist, and his entire right leg felt like it was bitten by ants, making people want to cry and laugh.

"It's your fault!" Cong San said, still not looking back at him.

"Fuck..." Shen Chi raised his hand to rub his waist and legs with a grin, and it took a while for the sore and numb feeling to subside. "If I continue to stay with you, a bastard, I will definitely be in trouble."

Laughter came from the front. A man in combat uniform turned his head, showing his white teeth, gloating: "Let your legs be cheap!"

Shen Chi felt his legs itchy again, and he wanted to leave a big foot on that annoying face. The man obviously saw his desire, and did not avoid it. He just looked at him with a smile, looking very expectant.

Shen Chi finally did not dare to lift his feet, but just stretched them weakly in the seat in a twisted big shape, looked up at the roof, and moaned: "A bunch of perverts... bastards!"

Puff! The man in front laughed again. He seemed to love laughing.

"Hey, Old Shen, why don't you let us tie up Song Er and take him back? That would be much easier. Why do you want us to stay with him?"

"Tied up?" Shen Chi sneered, "Do you think you dare to tie up Song Er and take him back?"

"I don't dare, but Cong San dares." The man laughed, and at the end, he did not forget to throw a wink at Cong San, who had an expressionless face: "Right, Cong San?"

Cong San ignored him.

Shen Chi laughed and finally felt mentally balanced. He kicked the back of the chair in front of him, "Hey, Miss Loulan, tell us more about the situation outside. Is the Sun Country really gone?"

Hearing the words "Miss Loulan", the man sighed, and suddenly raised a orchid finger towards Shen Chi, cursing softly and coquettishly: "Hateful, dead face!"

Although he had long been accustomed to the other party's behavior, Shen Chi still shuddered and felt numb all over his body, which was even more severe than Cong San's finger.

Miss Loulan, whose real name is Lou Nan, I don't know why his father gave him such a name. I am a pure man, but my friends often jokingly call me Loulan girl. I was depressed at first, but later I learned how to fight back like a woman and finally defeated everyone. Of course, now I am completely immune to this name.

"Gone. After the rainstorm, the whole country sank into the sea." He said with a serious tone and a complicated look. China and the Sun Country have had a deep hatred in history. I don't know how many Chinese people have imagined dropping a few atomic bombs to sink it, but when it was really swallowed by the sea in this world disaster, he didn't feel too happy. The only thing he felt was how insignificant human beings were in front of nature. At the beginning of the apocalypse

, after discovering that the communication was cut off and it was impossible to contact the outside world, Song Ting immediately sent out 20 small teams of 200 people, all of whom were the most elite talents of the second department, to various places at home and abroad to investigate the specific situation. However, only a few people have returned so far, and Lou Nan is one of them. He went to the Sun Country and could not take a plane, but only a fishing boat. There were ten people who went with him, but he was the only one who came back. He witnessed the sinking of the Sun Island and was almost left there.

The zombie situation in the Sun Country was worse than that in China. When they went there, they didn't meet many living people. When the island finally sank, no one escaped. Of course, he was running for his life at that time, and he really didn't care whether there were any survivors.

And this seemed to be good. There were at least survivors in the Sun Country before this, but according to reports from people who came back from other countries, they didn't even find a single living person. It seemed that the whole country was in death. In addition to zombies, there were mutant creatures. Wide roads and modern cities were all blocked by mutant plants, making it very difficult to enter or exit. There were no survivors who killed zombies, and no camps where survivors gathered. The whole country seemed to have become a paradise for mutant creatures and zombies. In the small country adjacent to the sea, except for the occasional one or two roofs emerging from the water, telling that the country once existed, nothing was left, including zombie humans.

In fact, not only foreign countries, but also most of the cities near the sea in China were submerged. It's just that China has a vast territory, and before it was submerged, the survivors were able to flee inland. Although it was difficult, there was still a glimmer of hope.

Maybe there are some places they have not been able to explore, and some news cannot be sent back, but from the information collected so far, it seems that China is the only country in the world that still has survivors, and unlike the Sun Country before the sinking, the number of people is very small. Although this number is insignificant compared to the total population of China, it is much better than the lifelessness of other countries.

If the above speculation becomes a fact, it will be a very terrifying thing.

Therefore, Song Ting will send his elites to find Song Yan. Although there is an intention to protect his only remaining relative, the more important thing is to pass on the news and let Song Yan build a base as soon as possible to accommodate more survivors, responding to him in the south and the north, and saving more seeds for mankind.

Chapter 259 Garage Incident (1)

"What about the Northern Bear Country? Who went there? Has anyone returned?" Shen Chi sat up straight, his expression unconsciously solemn. As soon as he returned to Ruzhou, he was immediately sent out by Song Ting. At that time, he only heard someone mention that Little Sun was gone, and he didn't have time to ask for details. After he came out, it was only when Lou Nan accidentally mentioned it that he learned that some of his colleagues who he thought had not escaped the zombie transformation had actually gone abroad.

Lou Nan shook his head. In theory, the Northern Bear Country borders China, so there is no need to take a ship like going to the Sun Country, and it is slightly safer. He was able to escape and return under extremely harsh conditions such as the sinking of the Sun Country and the huge tsunami. There is no reason why his colleagues who went to the Northern Bear Country were wiped out.

"Those who went to the Jade Country and the Ginseng Country have not returned either." He whispered, his expression somewhat miserable. You have to know that those who were selected to go out are the top elites in their department. If they were gone just like that, it would be more than a loss.

"The ones who came back..." Shen Chi wanted to know if there were any of his friends among the people who came back. Before he could finish his words, he felt the car body shake, as if he was hit hard by a huge hammer, and there was a moment of tinnitus.

"We were attacked by mutant beasts!" The companion in charge of driving reminded loudly while turning the steering wheel rapidly, trying to keep the car body stable and avoid the attack coming from an unknown direction.

The people in the car did not wait for the vibration to disappear, and quickly prepared for battle.

-

Boom! A cone-shaped head with a diameter of about two meters suddenly jumped out from the ground. In the splashing of stones and soil, a round and long armored body of similar thickness came out. Then, like a magic trick, the head and body opened up branch-like protrusions like an umbrella, making the originally smooth body become jagged. The

team members who were originally in piles and groups scattered in various places in the underground parking lot had already stood up with weapons in their hands the moment they heard the sound of breaking the ground. When they saw this scene, they couldn't help but be shocked.

"Non-awakened people retreat and hide, awakened people fight!" Xiao Sheng reacted the fastest. While giving orders, he rushed forward first. He used his supernatural power to smash the mutant beast that broke in.

The team members had cooperated for a long time and had developed a certain degree of tacit understanding. Before Xiao Sheng finished speaking, the team members had passed the initial panic, retreated, advanced, and became more defensive.

Yuan Jinshu snorted in his heart, glanced around, and finally climbed up along a concrete square column, hiding his figure in the shadow of the metal bracket on the top. Since they said that non-awakened people retreated, he was not an awakened person, so there was no need to fight forward. The consumptive ghost couldn't blame him. When he

thought of the consumptive ghost, he was full of anger and fear. At the beginning, his hands and feet were broken every once in a while, but he was not afraid. He just restrained his temper and wanted to find an opportunity to escape. He even thought about taking revenge with the most cruel means before escaping. Just because he couldn't beat Song Yan didn't mean he couldn't deal

with his men. He never thought that there was a more terrifying monster in Song Yan's convoy. In front of that consumptive ghost, he couldn't even raise the consciousness of resistance, and was forced to recognize his master with blood.

He didn't take it seriously at first. Nowadays, people swear as easily as eating, and only fools take it seriously. At that time, he even thought that after his bone injury healed, he must take the consumptive ghost in front of him back and raise him as a dog. Who knew that when the healing psychic in the convoy really healed his injury, it was the beginning of his nightmare.

I don't know what kind of magic the consumptive ghost used. As long as he had the idea of ​​harming others or escaping, he would feel the pain of being sucked out of the soul and refined into bones, and he would rather die than live. Although this pain was only a short moment, it was enough to make him unforgettable. If he had doubts at first, after a series of lessons, he could only put away his claws obediently.

In fact, until now Yuan Jinshu still didn't understand whether the consumptive ghost really knew what he was thinking. If it was, why did nothing happen when he cursed the other party in his heart or thought about how to plot against him and torture him; if it was not, why did he capture his thoughts so accurately and punish him, so that he dared not act rashly. Regardless of whether it was or not, Yuan Jinshu was really scared. Although he was still unwilling, he could only obey and do whatever he was told before finding a way to get out of it.

In this situation, he didn't dare to have the intention of harming others, but it didn't prevent him from watching coldly. After all, Xiao Sheng didn't speak, so he could just treat it as nothing to do with him.

Thinking of this, Yuan Jinshu raised a sneer on his face, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and slowly wiped his dusty hands while watching the people below fight the mutant beast that suddenly broke in.

The mutant beast was more than ten meters long and looked bulky, but it was very flexible. Fortunately, there were many vehicles parked in the parking lot, which caused a lot of obstacles to it, otherwise Xiao Sheng and others would suffer. However, this mutant beast had also awakened its special powers. The branch-like protrusions on its body always came with a burst of lightning when you least expected, making people flustered. The only thing to be thankful for was that it seemed that it had awakened its special powers not long ago, and its power was not too strong. Being hit by it would only cause numbness for a while, but not death. However, with its terrifying speed, the pause after paralysis was no different from committing suicide.

In just a few minutes, three people were injured. If it weren't for the tacit cooperation and quick rescue by the comrades in the same team, I'm afraid they would not only be injured.

Bang! The military truck carrying supplies was swept by the mutant beast's raised tail, the body of the car broke, the whole car overturned, and the rice, flour and various packaged foods inside were scattered all over the ground.

Everyone's face changed, and they rushed forward, trying to get rid of the mutant beast before the food was spoiled, or lead it away. If the food was gone, they would have no way to defend it.

Boom! With a very subtle sound, something passed through the air and disappeared in a flash.

Yuan Jinshu narrowed his eyes, and the next moment, the extremely arrogant mutant beast suddenly let out a shrill howl of pain, and slid back several meters as if being pushed by something. When it stopped, everyone found that there was a big hole in its body, blood was flowing out of it, mixed with fragments of internal organs, and it was obviously seriously injured. They all cheered up and took advantage of the situation, wanting to seize the opportunity to kill it.

The mutant beast rolled on the ground in pain, and its tail swept towards the fire, and the burning firewood splashed everywhere. Xiao Sheng and others secretly cried out that it was not good. If the fire went out and the surroundings fell into darkness, they would be at a disadvantage. Therefore, they did not avoid it, and despite the danger of being hit by firewood and burned, all kinds of superpowers rained down on the mutant beast.

Yuan Jinshu felt that the beast was dead, and withdrew his gaze with some disappointment, and began to look for the person who had just made the move. Thinking about what superpower was so powerful, when he saw it clearly, he felt speechless.

The man was behind the pillar at his feet, carrying a rocket launcher on his shoulder, still aiming, and obviously ready to fire another shot. He had excellent eyesight, and he remembered this man, because apart from the young man named Wu Qing, this man was the only one in the convoy who had ever called him to eat.

Well, that is, to call him to eat. Everyone else treated him as if he didn't exist... No, it can't be said that they treated him as if he didn't exist. They should be guarding against him like a class enemy, but completely ignoring him, as if he was poisonous air, guarding against him, but unable to see him. If he ran away, perhaps they wouldn't care. Then whether he ate or not was naturally none of their business.

Because he understood this, he didn't want to be hungry, so he always took the initiative to eat. The people in the convoy wouldn't say anything, they didn't deduct or insult him, and they wouldn't say that they wouldn't let him eat enough. However, if he missed the meal, he couldn't expect anyone to call him or save it for him.

Therefore, one cannot always expect everything to develop according to one's own wishes. For example, he once wanted to slowly torture Song Yan and others, and have some fun while collecting debts for his fellow disciples. Who would have thought that he would fall into the hands of the other party and become their fun. For example, he, who always had a good stomach, was constipated that day. When he came out after solving the problem, the group he was in had already eaten. With his original character, it was impossible for him to give up, but because of the constraints of the sick ghost, he could not conflict with the people in the team, so he could only swallow his anger. So he had planned that if the person in charge of food refused to bring out more food, he would have to go hungry.

Who would have thought that as soon as he entered the house, the person below pointed to a small bowl of food placed by the fire and said to him: "Eat."

Just these two words. He remembered this person. There is no gratitude, just an impression left. In his arrogant heart, basically, he would not keep other people's appearance, except for those who are stronger than him, such as sick ghost, Song Yan. And Li Muran, whose supernatural power is very interesting. He thought that if he could escape, he would definitely take the woman back to study her.

Therefore, he thought that he could remember the person below, and the other party should feel extremely proud of this.

Yuan Jinshu did not throw away the dirty handkerchief, but still held it in his hand, because he had used up all the handkerchiefs he had with him, and this was the last one. Before finding a replacement, he could only make do with it.

... Maybe it can be washed. He thought so. Then his lazy and lifeless eyes suddenly shone, and he jumped down almost without thinking, and at the same time, he made a lightning move, grabbed the back collar of the man who was still carrying the rocket launcher, and took him away from the spot.

Boom! The concrete stone pillar was hit by lightning, and the huge but extremely agile body of the mutant beast had already shot up following the lightning. If Yuan Jinshu had not reacted quickly enough, the man would have been in the beast's belly.

It turned out that the mutant beast was very vengeful. Although it was seriously injured, it was not fatal. It rolled on the spot just to find the person who hurt it. Once it found it, it immediately launched an attack like lightning, and Xiao Sheng and others had no chance to stop it.

"Ang——" After missing the attack, the mutant beast howled in anger and chased after him relentlessly. It completely ignored the attack from behind, and looked like it would not be able to vent its anger until it swallowed the person who hurt it.

"Fuck!" Yuan Jinshu's body movements were like a ghost, erratic, and he was able to handle the mutant beast with ease. However, he was a little unhappy, thinking that there was no need for him to cause this trouble. Because it was easy to attack, but it was difficult to stop. He knew very well that if he had just stood by and ignored it before, it would be fine, and the sick ghost probably could not blame him, but if he threw the person away now, the end would be miserable.

Chapter 260: Garage Incident (2)

Boom—the people led by Yuan Jinshu were startled at first, but then they were not panicked at all. When the mutant beast approached, they slightly adjusted the rocket launcher on their shoulders and fired again at the target.

At the moment of seeing the flash of fire, Xiao Sheng and others who were chasing after the mutant beast dodged to the sides at lightning speed. The next moment, the armor-piercing bullet hit the mutant beast's head, breaking a big hole. At the same time, the huge impact force pushed its huge body back several meters, and then fell heavily, crushing a military off-road vehicle into pieces.

In order to prevent it from dying, the people who had just dodged approached again, and fireballs, ice cones, lightning and wind blades fell on the mutant beast one after another. Only when they were sure that it was dead, did they relax.

The earth-type mutant didn't rest, and quickly rushed to check the hole that the mutant beast had made, to see where it led to and whether it needed to be blocked. Others, except for those responsible for vigilance, went to clean up the battlefield, repair vehicles affected by the battle, and study the strange-shaped mutant beast.

"My name is Mo Jin, Caotou Mo, today's Jin. Thank you for saving me!" The man who stood back on the ground put down the rocket launcher, stomped his feet on the spot, waited for the weakness to dissipate, stretched out his hand to Yuan Jinshu, and said with a smile.

Yuan Jinshu was wiping his hands with a dusty handkerchief in disgust, looking at the other party's outstretched hand, not knowing what he was thinking, and didn't respond for a long time.

"Do you have mysophobia?" Mo Jin waited for a moment, seemed to see something, and was not angry. He took back his hand and asked directly.

"No." Yuan Jinshu answered quickly this time. He really didn't think he had mysophobia. He liked to torture and kill others, but it didn't mean he liked to torture himself. Mysophobia was a kind of self-abuse in his eyes.

Mo Jin smiled and didn't care, and continued: "I owe you a life. If you need anything, just ask."

Yuan Jinshu narrowed his eyes and studied his facial expression carefully with suspicion, wondering how much falsehood there was in it. It doesn't matter if it's false, as long as there is a bit of truth, he will make a profit.

Mo Jin's expression was very serious, and it didn't seem like a polite remark.

Yuan Jinshu's mind was turning quickly, thinking that if he asked this person to directly ask the sick ghost to let him go, he didn't know how likely it would be to succeed. However, this thought flashed through his mind and he chose to give up. First, he felt that this person's status was too low. He had no special abilities and was not a battalion commander, platoon leader or company commander. Song Yan would not give him face; secondly, with the bad character of the consumptive ghost who looked down on everyone, it was estimated that he would be in trouble before this person opened his mouth.

After thinking about it, he felt that this person seemed to be of no use for the time being. So he raised his chin slightly, snorted proudly, and turned away. Of course, this does not mean that he gave up the right to ask the other party to repay his life-saving grace. He wrote down this account.

Mo Jin rubbed his nose. He was not annoyed by being looked down upon. He just thought this person was a little funny. When you think he is a self-righteous bastard and want to kill him, he knows the situation and can bend down. When you talk to him about being polite and kind, he insists on being high and mighty, making you unable to be grateful. You say he is cunning, but he is very direct whether he likes or dislikes him. You say he is not cunning, but he seems to be calculating something at all times. If it weren't for the high danger, he would be a very interesting person with a flash of hostility in his eyes.

"How is it? Are you hurt?" At this time, Xiao Sheng came over and asked.

"It's okay, Brother Sheng, this time it's all thanks to Comrade Yuan. If it weren't for him, you would have to find me in the mutant beast's belly by now." Mo Jin joked. The previous shock didn't seem to have any effect on him.

Xiao Sheng glanced at Yuan Jinshu who had walked to the corner and hid in the shadows, pursed his lips, and finally reminded him: "Be careful, this man... is very dangerous." In fact, what he wanted to say was that this man was not a good person, but considering that the other party had saved his comrades after all, he should not be too harsh in his words.

Mo Jin laughed, "After today, every day I live is a lucky day, what is there to be afraid of. He saved my life, even if he wants to take it away, it's nothing." At this point, he noticed that Xiao Sheng frowned, paused, his expression became more serious, and added: "But if he wants to harm the team or hurt other people in the team, I will not agree." "It's good that

you know it in your heart." Xiao Sheng patted his shoulder and didn't say more about this issue, "It's thanks to your action today, otherwise I don't know how much damage it would cause." Not to mention the casualties, even those cars might be scrapped.

Mo Jin touched the rocket launcher in his hand and sighed silently: "Now the places where they can be used are getting smaller and smaller." Various artillery is inconvenient to carry, and the amount of ammunition carried is also limited. The lethality to zombies is limited, and it is basically ineffective against agile mutant creatures. The rocket launcher is also powerful, but it is a waste of talent to kill ordinary zombies. It can't catch up with mutant zombies and mutant beasts. It is because the space for activities in this underground parking lot is relatively small, and the mutant beast just now is too large, so he caught the opportunity. That's it, if it weren't for Yuan Jinshu, he would have been finished.

Xiao Sheng felt the same way. They came out of the army. At the beginning of the end of the world, hot weapons and excellent skills were once their survival. But when mutant zombies and mutant beasts appeared, hot weapons gradually tended to be eliminated. Of course, this is also largely related to the lack of logistical supplies. The ammunition is used up a little bit, and it cannot be manufactured and replenished. Sooner or later, it will run out. Because they realize this, whether they are superpowers or non-superpowers, they put down their hot weapons early, picked up cold weapons, and used actual combat to improve their abilities and adapt to this new environment.

"It would be great if the unawakened could also evolve." Xiao Sheng couldn't help but sigh. Although there are more people who survive in the army than in most ordinary industries due to physical factors, they don't have much advantage in awakening superpowers. More than half of the soldiers in the convoy are non-awakened. They can get to where they are now, relying on nothing more than outstanding skills and a rock-hard will. But now, everyone can feel that it seems to be getting more and more difficult to walk in the end times with only these two things.

Mo Jin rubbed his nose and smiled, but his smile was full of helplessness and bitterness. "Maybe one day it will be possible." He said a self-comforting word.

"After passing this level, maybe we can recruit some scholars, professors and scientific researchers to let them concentrate on research..." Xiao Sheng looked at the team members who were dissecting the mutant beast to take the crystal core, and began to plan for the future in thought. He knew that Song Yan probably didn't have the heart to think about these things during this period, so this burden would fall on him and Yun Ze.

"Brother Sheng, a mutant beast broke in?" Li Muran's voice sounded beside the two of them, and at the same time, her figure also appeared.

Although it was not the first time he had seen her superpowers, Xiao Sheng couldn't help but sigh: "Your superpowers are really good." Mo Jin's eyes showed envy without concealing it.

Li Muran smiled embarrassedly, and then looked at the behemoth not far away. She remembered that it was the mutant beast she had detected last night. She asked with some concern: "No one was injured?" In fact, what she wanted to ask was whether anyone died. As for injuries, it was not a problem with the healing superpowers.

"Five team members were injured, and no one died." Xiao Sheng understood what she meant and answered.

Li Muran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but then frowned again: "How did it get in? Is it not safe here?" It seems a bit troublesome. Her superpowers are not enough to take everyone away in a short time.

"It digs a hole underground. But I think there shouldn't be many guys like it that can dig underground. If there's only one like this at a time, we should be able to deal with it in the narrow space here." Xiao Sheng explained, and then smiled and said, "That's good. We can just get rid of them one by one. We have nothing to do anyway."

Seeing him speak so easily, Mo Jin and Li Muran couldn't help but laugh. Li Muran originally wanted to go up to find Song Yan first, but his eyes swept over the huge body of the mutant beast again. He was moved and remembered what the sick ghost said, "Brother Sheng, the meat of this mutant beast might be edible." After that, he roughly repeated what the sick ghost said about food after the end of the world.

"I don't know if it's poisonous?" Xiao Sheng said in a deep voice, but thinking of the sick ghost's ability, he finally made a decision: "Let's try it." If it's edible, then their food problem is solved.

In fact, eating mutant beasts and mutant plants started a long time ago. When they were still in the Dongzhou base, they had been studying the edibility of mutant creatures. It's just that those who eat this are generally those survivors who can't find food, and most of them are mainly mutant plants. As for mutant beasts, it is said that the taste is difficult to swallow. Only a very small number of them are relatively delicious, but that is completely unattainable. The team is very strong, so naturally they would not touch these at that time. Now, it is time to try. After all, the food left before the end of the world will be eaten up sooner or later. Even if it cannot be eaten up, it will spoil. Therefore, finding new food to replace it is a must.

"If ordinary people eat mutant animals and plants for a long time, can they become stronger?" Mo Jin suddenly asked. His eyes were fixed on Li Muran, full of expectations, and he obviously wanted to get a positive answer from her.

Li Muran was stunned and wanted to shake her head, but after a slight hesitation, she said: "I don't know, but it should slowly change our physique. If combined with the training method taught by Brother Bing, it will probably become stronger and stronger." At the end, she couldn't help but add: "In fact, those who have not awakened can also be very strong, like..." She wanted to say Brother Yi, but thought that the other party might not know him, so she changed her words: "That... surnamed Yuan." Not only strong, but terribly strong. She felt that Brother Yi might not be able to beat him.

Mo Jin was refreshed, and obviously thought of Yuan Jinshu, his eyes became bright: "Yes, you are right. Those who have not awakened can also become very strong."
