Chapter 51 Ambition.

Not to mention the dual mutation of speed and strength, the spatial ability is enough to shock everyone. The spatial ability is almost a legendary ability, just like the psychic who discovered the purpose of the corpse crystal.

Qiao Yong thought more, that is, the girl came earlier than them, why are the zombies in the lobby still there? Or in other words, why didn't they see even a zombie corpse, did she not encounter it, or did she avoid it because of her fast speed? There are not many zombies in the lobby, which makes sense. But it is an extremely difficult thing for her to come here alone. Ask yourself, he can't do it.

Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, the girl thought that the other party was doubting her ability, so she reached out and touched a chair next to her, and then in full view of everyone, the chair disappeared out of thin air. She smiled and glanced at everyone present. Her eyes paused for two seconds when she swept over Nan Shao, then she returned the chair to its original place. At the same time, she held a fresh apple in her hand and walked towards Zhang Yi and Nan Shao. Then she handed it to Zhang Ruiyan, who was staring at her curiously with his eyes wide open: "Little brother, this apple is for you to eat."

When the big and red apple that looked like it had just been picked from the tree appeared, everyone's pupils shrank. Zhang Yi's eyebrows frowned imperceptibly, and then he smiled and said: "This is too precious, girl, you can keep it for yourself." A fresh apple was nothing before the end of the world, but now it is difficult to exchange it for any amount of corpse crystals. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is precious.

Zhang Ruiyang, who had been looking up at Zhang Yi eagerly, heard this and buried his head in his father's arms, trying not to look at the big apple that exuded a fragrant and sweet taste. As for the saliva in his mouth, he couldn't control it and could only swallow it secretly.

A hint of surprise flashed in the girl's eyes, but she was a little indifferent, but she still smiled and said, "It's okay, I still have some." Then she took Zhang Ruiyang's hand and stuffed the apple into it, then found a sofa nearby and sat down, looking at Qiao Yong with a fixed gaze.

Zhang Ruiyang was in a dilemma, not knowing what to do. He looked at Zhang Yi with tears in his eyes, but Zhang Yi didn't let go. He exchanged a look with Nan Shao, and finally just nodded slightly at the girl. He didn't thank her, but took the apple from Zhang Ruiyang and put it on the table in front of him. The eyes of others followed the apple, stopped, and then turned away.

Again, the girl dared to be so high-profile, she must have something to rely on, and she was not afraid of others' ideas, just like she could come to the hotel alone, and her ability was obviously several levels stronger than those present. So Zhang Yi didn't bother to persuade her to be a little restrained in front of everyone. Of course, there was another reason for this, that his impression of the girl became a little bad when she took out the apple to give to Zhang Ruiyang. Of course, it's not particularly bad. After all, in his eyes, the other party is at most a little girl who is not very sensible. Some of her actions are understandable. Anyway, try to avoid her in the future.

"Girl..." After thinking for a long time, Qiao Yong coughed and was about to speak.

"My name is Han Ling. Uncle, you can just call me by my name." The girl interrupted him. Obviously, she didn't like the word girl, but she certainly didn't like the word young lady.

Qiao Yong paused before saying, "You are so capable, why do you want to join us?"

"Of course, it's because I think you are good." Han Ling answered quickly, so quickly that it made people feel a little perfunctory.

This was probably meant as a compliment, but the people present, except for Xiao Yangyang, who knew nothing, became happy all of a sudden, even the teenager named Pei Yuan, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, curled his lips in disdain, not to mention the other experienced men. Everyone has fought for their lives to this day, and there is no need for others to make such a condescending judgment, even if the other party is better than them.

Qiao Yong smiled, not showing any displeasure, but did not answer Han Ling immediately. Instead, he turned to look at the others and said, "I have understood what I should understand. I have no objection. What do you think?" At this point, he smiled apologetically at Han Ling again, "We have agreed before that if we want to recruit more people, we need everyone's consent." This girl appeared strangely and acted too high-profile. If possible, he wanted to refuse, but given their current situation, everyone was in the same hotel, so it was better not to offend her. After all, she was young and full of energy. If she was given face, who knows how much trouble she would cause. As long as she didn't do anything wrong in the future and continued to get along, it probably wouldn't matter. As for whether the other party had any ulterior motives, he had considered it, but it was precisely because of this that he would feel more at ease if he kept her under his nose.

Han Ling was capable and beautiful. Although she had an uncomfortable arrogance in her words and deeds, it was also related to her age, so the others did not speak out to object and said they had no objection. So the matter was settled.

Han Ling's eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction, and she obviously thought it was a matter of course. In her opinion, with her ability, she wanted to join this uneven team, which should be what the other party wanted, so how could she be rejected? Therefore, Qiao Yong thought about it for so long, which made her feel a little unhappy. If not... she would have turned around and left long ago.

"Now that everyone has reached a consensus, let's talk about the captain's issue next." Qiao Yong said, "There are only a dozen of us. The reason why we need a captain is mainly to have someone who can play a starting role at the critical moment, so that we won't be too scattered. Since everyone has known each other for a short time, it is estimated that no one will obey each other. I will take over temporarily. When we get familiar with each other in the future, I will definitely have no objection to changing people." He said this casually, and obviously he didn't take the position of captain too seriously. If he hadn't been the team leader before, he still had some prestige when he spoke, and he didn't want everyone to be distracted by the position of captain of the newly established small team from the beginning, he would not bother to care about such a thankless task. In the final analysis, it's just a sentence, just to increase the chips for survival.

At this point, he glanced at everyone and found that everyone was lazy and didn't seem to be interested in who would be the captain. Only the newly joined Han Ling moved his lips, but he seemed to be forcing himself to hold back and didn't speak. So, he smiled and said, "If anyone disagrees or has his own ideas, please speak up quickly. If you complain later and affect unity, don't blame me, Old Qiao, for killing him."

He has always been so arrogant, and everyone else has gotten used to it. Some even joked, "Okay, no one dares to make trouble when you know that your beard is upturned, Qiao. By the way, it's the end of the world now, how do you maintain your beard? Do you have to spend half a day trimming it in front of the mirror every day?" Hearing this

, Qiao Yong's eyes widened, but Shi Pengsan, who was sitting not far from him, couldn't help laughing. It turned out that Qiao Yong did carry a palm-sized small mirror and a shaving knife with him, otherwise how could he keep his two small mustaches from deforming?

Han Ling felt that they were playing a little tricky in forming a team. The fact that they never left each other at the beginning was ridiculous. As for the captain later, it was even more reckless. In her opinion, walking in the end times cannot be taken lightly. Although she looked high-profile, it was because she had the ability and was not afraid of others' ideas. These people did not have that ability at all. They dared to be loose and scattered. They were simply looking for death. As for never leaving each other, if the team members were already injured and disabled, keeping them would only drag down others. These people obviously did not understand the cruelty of the end times. They were really naive.

After thinking about it, she finally decided not to stand up and fight for the position of captain at this moment. When they were frustrated by their naive ideas in the future, she would come forward and it should be easier to win them over. After waiting

for a while, seeing that no one objected, Qiao Yong finally slammed the table and ended the topic of forming a team. The next step was to clean up the hotel. At least before the rain stopped at dawn, they were unlikely to leave this place again, so it was important to make the living environment safer.

The hotel has seven floors. The first floor is the lobby and the Chinese restaurant. The second to sixth floors are guest rooms. The seventh floor is a western restaurant, a bar, a coffee shop, and sauna and other leisure facilities. Han Ling said she lived on the top floor, but it was actually a business suite on the sixth floor. For safety reasons, Qiao Yong did not divide the people too much. Including Han Ling, there were a total of eighteen people. Of course, Zhang Ruiyang was just a small group at this time. The real combat effectiveness was still seventeen people. He divided these seventeen people into two groups, each sweeping a floor.

Everyone just got together, and everyone's strength was not particularly clear, and it was difficult to arrange, so they were allowed to form their own teams on a voluntary basis. Zhang Yi and the other four would definitely not separate, and then Zhao Chun joined, and it was unknown whether the monk Jie Chen was real or fake, a middle-aged man in his forties named Tan Kuifeng, and Han Ling. There were a total of ten people with special abilities, and regardless of whether the special abilities could be used, they were evenly distributed according to this number. In this way, Nan Shao and his team only had four special abilities, and one was missing, so Shi Pengsan, who was always inseparable from Qiao Yong, was kicked over. In this way, they would have one more person, but no one cared, after all, it was either too much here or too much there, and there was no way to divide it evenly.

Since the cleaning began, they naturally didn't care about saving electricity. The lights in the corridor were turned on, and the elevators were powered on. There were actually several zombies trapped in the four elevator cars, as well as several white bones with scattered limbs, and some black rotten substances that could no longer be identified. Probably to prove his strength to everyone, without waiting for others to make a move, Han Ling held two long swords that appeared out of thin air, and he was as fast as the wind, and he solved the zombies in a few moves. At the end, he put the swords into space, and there was not a drop of dirty blood on his body.

Too strong! Everyone who had not yet separated was a little stunned, thinking that they had seen the legendary martial arts master.

Han Ling looked back at the others, not hiding his arrogance, and then took the lead in stepping into the elevator, with a sense of being the leader of the crowd. After the rest of the people were stunned, they also entered the two elevators separately, but others didn't know what they were discussing.

The second floor had been cleaned, so they went directly to the third and fourth floors.

"Brother Nan Shao, your superpowers are very powerful." When everyone else was silent, Han Ling finally spoke and chatted with Nan Shao casually.

Nan Shao looked at her in surprise, thinking that he seemed to have never introduced her just now, so how did she know his name, but he replied indifferently: "What's so great about the wood-related ability?"

"Wood-related ability? How is that possible? Isn't it a life ability?" Han Ling blurted out, and then she realized that she seemed to have said something wrong. She could only make amends awkwardly: "I heard it from others." The more she explained,

the worse it was.

Chapter 52 Doubts

Before this, only Zhang Yi and a few others knew that Nan Shao had awakened his superpowers, so it was impossible to hear from others. Han Ling's words gave people a big illusion that she knew Nan Shao and knew some things about him.

"What is life power?" Nan Shao did not show his doubts in his heart. He just asked a question that he cared about. In fact, he was not the only one who had this question. Almost everyone present, except Zhang Ruiyang, had this question. After all, life power was a superpower that had never been heard of. The elevator arrived

with a ding. Han Ling did not answer again, but just said: "I will talk to Brother Nan when I have a chance. Now deal with the zombies first."

Before the elevator opened, in case zombies heard the sound and rushed over, or if there were too many zombies outside to deal with at once, the people inside put their weapons across their chests and stood on both sides. One person put his hand on the door closing button, ready to respond at any time, and Zhang Ruiyang was blocked by Zhang Yi behind him. Han Ling was quite surprised to see their quick and agile reactions, but more happy.

The elevator door slowly opened, but no zombies rushed in. There were three zombies in the corridor. Judging from their clothes, one was a hotel waiter, and the other two were probably guests. Their clothes were a little torn and bloodstained, and their faces or bodies were bitten to pieces, revealing their white bones. At this time, they were too far away, so they couldn't rush over in time to block the group of people in the elevator.

Before the others could react, Han Ling had already rushed out and killed the zombies in a few moves. Zhang Yi felt a little regretful. He was still thinking about how to get back the feeling he had last night. There were not many zombies now. If this continued, he wouldn't be able to touch a hair. Fortunately, after killing a few zombies, Han Ling said to the others: "Everyone clean the guest rooms separately, and gather here again."

Her attitude of assigning things as a matter of course made the others feel a little uncomfortable, but it was not easy to argue with a little girl, and there was no need to argue, so they separated in twos and threes.

"Brother Nan, come with me." She called Nan Shao.

Nan Shao didn't even bother to look at her. He held the pickaxe in one hand and put his other hand on Zhang Yi's shoulder. With Zhang Ruiyang in between, the three of them walked side by side to one of the guest rooms that no one went to. If he had wanted to get some information about life abilities from her at the beginning, he no longer had that idea at this time. He was impatient to serve such a self-righteous woman.

The youngest in the team was a monk with a good temper, and there was Li Muran. The others were almost all men over 30 years old. Even if they thought something in their hearts, they would not show it. Li Muran always kept aloof from things that did not concern him, so no one showed strange eyes, but just walked away in pairs. The young monk Jie Chen wanted to invite Han Ling to join him and Zhao Chun with the idea of ​​being kind to others, but after seeing the girl's red and white face, he wisely gave up the idea. She had already demonstrated her super ability before, and she didn't need to cooperate with others at all. Although he had to recite the Four Elements Are Empty every day, he still didn't like being looked down upon. If the master was here, he would probably still pretend to do it, but since the master was not here, forget it.

Han Ling did not expect Nan Shao to be so disrespectful. She was so angry that she suppressed her anger. Then she thought, did the other party not hear what she said? Then she felt that this possibility was very high. After all, with her appearance and ability, it was not that she was conceited. She had never been rejected by a man in her life. Even if he was not interested in her, she would maintain her proper demeanor. So she was relieved, but also decided not to take the initiative like this in the future. When he knew what kind of opportunity he had missed, he would be so upset.

Thinking of this, a sly smile appeared at the corner of her lips, making her already very beautiful face look more lively, but unfortunately no one saw it.

"Why didn't you answer her?" Zhang Yi asked Nan Shao only after kicking open a guest room and seeing no zombies inside. After all, the information Han Ling revealed was too important, and it was not appropriate to offend her now.

"Annoying." Nan Shao answered very straightforwardly. He rarely wronged himself to do anything unless it was necessary.

Zhang Yi shook his head and did not try to persuade him. He thought that at most he could help him find out about the life power. After breaking into two guest rooms, he encountered a zombie. Zhang Yi did not let Nan Shao take action. He chopped it twice by himself. Unfortunately, he did not find the clean and neat feeling of the previous night.

Seeing that he frowned and seemed to be thinking about some difficult problem, Nan Shao thought he was worried about the previous things, so he said: "I think she is weird. It's better to stay away from her. As for the power she said, who knows if it is true or not, and even if it is true, I don't believe that I can't figure it out. At most, it will take more time. After all, it is my own thing, and I should know more about it than outsiders."

Zhang Yi looked at him in confusion. His thoughts had not been completely collected, so he didn't react to what he was saying for a while.

"Why did she come to the hotel? How did she get here? Why did she stay so clean? And the fresh apples and her space ability... It's not terrible for a person to have secrets, but if this person has too many great secrets and doesn't know how to restrain them, it will be very dangerous." Nan Shao spread his hands and gave the ultimate explanation for his impatience. "I can understand the decision made by Qiao Tou'er, but in fact we don't have the capital to be high-profile." The implication is that if they continue to be teammates with the girl, they will probably be dragged down by her.

Zhang Yi finally came back to his senses, touched Zhang Ruiyang's little head who was looking up blankly to listen to Nan Shao's words, and hummed. He had thought about these things, but he felt that there was no need to let go of the opportunity in vain. Anyway, he would be teammates with Han Ling for a while, and no one could predict how things would develop in the future, so it would be best if the relationship was not awkward.

"I understand." He replied, "Let's go, they should be about the same." It is not appropriate to discuss this topic more now, and it is always bad to be heard by others.

The three of them came out of the guest room and found Han Ling waiting at the elevator. Others also came out from other rooms one after another.

"There are not many zombies." Routa Chen and Li Muran came over one after another and complained. Fewer zombies means that their source of corpse crystals has also decreased, which is not a good thing.

"When the apocalypse happened, it was daytime, and most people were outside. How many people could be in the guest room?" Nan Shao replied indifferently.

After a simple conversation, the group got on the elevator and went straight to the fifth floor. Qiao Yong's team arrived earlier than them and was already cleaning. The two teams were faster together and checked all the rooms in less than ten minutes. Han Ling lived on the sixth floor, so there was no need to clean it again. Finally, it was the seventh floor.

Surprisingly, there were quite a few zombies on the seventh floor, about a hundred. Judging from the blocked corridor, it seemed that there were survivors who had hidden here, but in the end, no one knew what happened and they all turned into zombies.

As soon as the elevator sounded, zombies rushed in, and all kinds of superpowers were used together to deal with the first batch. Zhang Yi walked out with a machete in one hand and his son's hand in the other. He should have put the child in the elevator and let him go back to the second floor first, but he thought that he would often encounter such scenes in the future and would have to get used to it sooner or later, and the current situation was much better than on the street, so

he finally gritted his teeth and took the child with him. The zombies here are all adults, and it is not easy to hurt the short Zhang Ruiyang. "Follow Dad, pay attention to the ground, don't be bitten by the zombies." He ordered.

"Okay." Zhang Ruiyang nodded. Facing so many zombies that suddenly appeared, he was actually not as scared as many adults. Sometimes, children's adaptability is stronger than adults.

Nan Shao and others subconsciously gathered around Zhang Yi. The four of them stood back to back, surrounded Zhang Ruiyang, and protected him as much as possible. Zhang Yi was moved, but he no longer said thank you. He raised the machete in his right hand and faced the zombies that rushed over.

Chapter 53 Knife Force

When the zombies rushed over, Zhang Yi's first reaction was to dodge, but then he thought that there was not only Zhang Ruiyang behind him, but also Nan Shao and the other two. If he dodged to the side, he might hurt others. In the end, he had to bite the bullet and face it head-on.

The zombies were of medium height. Even if the length of the arms grabbing him was shorter than his, it was only one or two centimeters. Whether it was to cut the cervical vertebrae or split the skull, the point of force had to be at the back of the machete blade. The machete blade was a little over 40 centimeters long. Excluding other factors that might shorten the distance, he only had about 20 centimeters of space to attack, less than half a step away, and he had to strike within this half-step distance and be effective. Even if there was a slight mistake, the zombie's claws might scratch him or the people next to him.

These numbers flashed in his mind for a moment. The next moment, he had already raised his foot and kicked the zombie's abdomen to stop it from moving forward. Then, with a loud shout, he swung the machete from top to bottom, splitting the zombie's head with a thud. Then, the blade turned at the neck, and with the remaining force, half of the head flew out, while the zombie fell straight to the other side.

The knife was clean and sharp, without any unnecessary consumption. The people who were fighting zombies nearby were shocked, and Nan Shao and Li Muran were the most surprised, because it was not the first time they saw Zhang Yi kill zombies, but they had never seen him as fierce and fierce as before, as if he had changed his mind.

Zhang Yi's heart was pounding, and he felt that he had caught that feeling again. He didn't care to think too much and said, "Everyone, spread out a little." Then he let go of Zhang Ruiyang's hand and faced another zombie.

Nan Shao and the other two obviously also felt the disadvantage of being too close to each other and being inconvenient to fight the enemy. As soon as Zhang Yi said this, they naturally distanced themselves from each other. Of course, they were still careful not to let the zombies rush into the area they had circled. Zhang Ruiyang looked at his father's back with admiration, squatted next to the dead zombie, hesitated for a while, and then imitated the adults, holding a dagger to look for shiny stones in the dissected head.

Zhang Yi was immersed in that mysterious feeling, forgetting everything around him, staring at the nearest zombie, drawing his knife, chopping, spinning, drawing his knife, chopping, spinning... The movements were mechanical and single, and even boring to others, but they had to admit that the effect was outstanding. Unlike cutting off the neck, there would be potential dangers that needed to be paid attention to at all times to prevent being bitten.

It seemed like just a moment, and apart from his teammates with complicated expressions, he could not see any standing zombies. Zhang Yi stopped, and his eyes were still vigilantly searching around, when he felt a sinking on his shoulders. Before he realized what was happening, the machete in his hand had already swung out.

Nan Shao didn't even have a chance to think about it. When he felt the murderous aura coming at him, he leaned back instinctively and barely avoided the move that was almost a sure kill for the zombies, but he was also scared and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Brother Yi!" Meat Tower Chen and Li Muran were also shocked.

Zhang Yi came to his senses and realized that it was Nan Shao who patted his shoulder. He couldn't help but feel a little scared. He knew very well what state he was in just now. If it was Meat Tower Chen or Li Muran, he might not be able to avoid it.

"Sorry! I was a little nervous just now." He raised his hand to wipe his face and whispered apologetically.

"I almost suspected that I had offended you in some way, so you wanted to take the opportunity to kill me." Nan Shao patted his shoulder and joked.

"Of course not." Zhang Yi also laughed, but he was still frightened.

"As expected of Brother Yi, he's so awesome!" Meat Tower Chen also came over and said admiringly. Although he had worked with Zhang Yi on the street cleaning that day, he had not worked with Li Muran and the others as many times, so he thought Zhang Yi had not fully exerted his strength at that time.

Hearing his words, Zhang Yi looked around and found that the zombies had been cleaned up. Some people were talking together not far away, some were digging for corpse crystals, and some were looking at him as if he were a monster. He smiled bitterly and did not explain. Instead, he began to look for Zhang Ruiyang with some worry. He seemed to have forgotten his son just now.

Zhang Ruiyang was squatting not far away, looking like a small ball. If it weren't for the horror of what he did, he would be very cute.

Zhang Yi was relieved, and then he felt his hands shaking, and he couldn't even hold the machete. It seemed that he was out of strength, and it seemed that he almost killed Nan Shao by mistake just now. Before the machete fell to the ground, Nan Shao leaned forward slightly to take it, "You can't put this knife in your hand anymore, or you'll hit me again."

"Thank you." Zhang Yi understood his good intentions. After he calmed down, he couldn't help but recall the feeling of killing zombies before. He felt that it was best to hurry up and go back to experience it, otherwise, after it disappeared, he didn't know when it would appear again. So he said, "Help me watch Yangyang, I'll go down first." After saying that, he hurried to the elevator without waiting for an answer.

Nan Shao was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, the elevator had already closed. He looked at the others and found that they were similar to him, all confused. So he coughed, and walked towards Zhang Ruiyang, who didn't realize that his father had left, holding a machete in one hand and a pick in the other. He was still seriously looking for corpse crystals in the zombies' brains.

"Brother Yi killed at least one-third of the zombies." Routa Chen and Li Muran also walked over and whispered at the same time. The other one-third was solved by Han Ling, and the rest was the joint achievement of others. "Was he so... so crazy before?" You know, he was almost bitten by a zombie because he was too shocked just now. This was really dangerous.

Li Muran shook his head and said nothing more.

"Could it be that he has also awakened his superpowers?" The fire of gossip in Routa Chen's chest was burning fiercely. Even if Li Muran didn't cooperate, he was excited to guess alone.

"I don't think it's superpowers." When Li Muran was too lazy to nod or shake his head, a gossiping friend who shared the same interests as Routa Chen finally appeared. The little monk Jie Chen squeezed over and whispered, "I... I think Mr. Zhang must have learned some peerless martial arts." Not far away, Pei Yuan, who was only sixteen years old, was approaching quietly, and then pricked up his ears to eavesdrop on their discussion. He didn't awaken his superpowers, so he hoped that Zhang Yi didn't have superpowers, so that he would have the hope of becoming that powerful.

Routa Chen rolled his eyes at the little monk and said unhappily, "Do you think you are writing a martial arts novel, and peerless martial arts are common? Aren't you a Shaolin disciple? Why don't you look so powerful?"

"Amitabha, monks don't lie. I am not a Shaolin disciple. I am the last disciple of the abbot of the White Horse Temple in Shitou Village, Wangyang Town. Speaking of unique skills, my master's feather duster can also be considered a unique skill, but because I haven't accepted any disciples yet, I haven't been able to learn it." When he said this, he showed a look of disappointment on his face, as if he felt it was a pity.

He called himself chaotic and spoke incoherently, which made Routa Chen's teeth ache. Pei Yuan on the other side was already grinning, regretting that he had eavesdropped.

"What closed disciple? Aren't there just two poor monks in that broken temple, you and your master?" Qiao Yong, who was walking over here and wanted to inquire about Zhang Yi's strength from Li Muran and others, happened to hear these words and sneered.

"Amitabha, we are not poor actually. We have installed a computer, a Lenovo brand." Jie Chen lowered his eyes and explained seriously.

"Have you installed the network cable?" Routa Chen asked casually.

"Yes, it is very useful. But the abbot always fights with me for it. If he can't win, he will use a feather duster. Alas!" Jie Chen sighed helplessly. "

A feather duster is made by plucking feathers from chickens. How can you monks use it?"

"My master made it himself. We raise chickens and occasionally kill one. The master said that there is no one to take care of us here, so we don't have to be so strict in observing the precepts. Besides, I am only abstaining from anger, not meat." Thinking of the chicken stewed with wild mushrooms, Jie Chen felt his saliva begin to secrete. It has been a long time since he had eaten it.

This time Routa Chen was completely speechless. Pei Yuan could no longer bear it and reminded him, "Aren't you talking about why Brother Zhang is so powerful?" Why are you so off topic!

Of course, with their strong ability to change the subject, even if someone brought the topic back, it was unrealistic to discuss Zhang Yi's problem to a conclusion. So in the end, not only Pei Yuan was disappointed, but Qiao Yong was even more desperate, wishing to kick them out of the hotel to get caught in the cold rain.

Nan Shao and Li Muran couldn't say anything, and Zhang Ruiyang, with his dirty hands, replied: "Dad is awesome!" Dad is awesome at all times. As for Zhang Yi leaving first, after Nan Shao told him, he just said "oh", looked at everyone else and lowered his head to do his own thing.

"This little guy is good, aren't you afraid?" Movie star Liang Guanlun squatted down beside the child who was focused, and asked with some surprise and curiosity.

When Zhang Ruiyang saw the corpse crystal, he put the dagger aside, then stretched out his little hand to pick up the corpse crystal, wiped it on his body, and put it in his other hand. He already held three crystals in that hand, and it was a little too big to hold this one. After thinking for a while, he put the corpse crystal in the bag of his clothes, then looked up at Awu's father, nodded, and shook his head.

Liang Guanlun laughed. He wanted to touch the little guy's head, but found that his hands were stained with zombie blood, so he had to give up. "Are you afraid or not?"

"I was afraid before, but I'm not afraid now." Zhang Ruiyang said. That day he was forced to kill a zombie. In fact, he was very scared. He kept thinking about it in his heart, and slowly felt that there was nothing to be afraid of. In addition, he was very eager to become a powerful person like his father, so he mustered up the courage to dig corpse crystals. When he dug out the first corpse crystal, he felt a huge sense of accomplishment, so he dug more and more vigorously, and he didn't think about being afraid anymore. Naturally, he could only dig up the zombies killed by Zhang Yi. He had no ability to crack the skulls of the others. However, the ones killed by Zhang Yi were enough for him to dig.

"Yangyang is really a little man." Liang Guanlun praised.

Zhang Ruiyang immediately showed a bright smile. But at this moment, a discordant voice came, which made the smile on the child's face collapse.

"How cruel, how can you let such a young child do this?" Han Ling came over, frowning slightly, "Do you want to make his psychology twisted?" As she spoke, she pulled the child up, then took out a tissue to wipe the two dirty hands, and taught him a lesson: "Yangyang, sister tells you that these zombies were the same as us before..."

Nan Shao's face darkened. Before she finished speaking, she had reached out and pulled Zhang Ruiyang over, saying coldly: "We know how to teach us, don't bother!" After that, she carried Zhang Ruiyang into the elevator and went downstairs first, leaving Routa Chen and Li Muran upstairs waiting for Qiao Yong's other arrangements.

Han Ling's face flushed instantly, and she stood up awkwardly. For a moment, she felt as if everyone was looking at her with a smile. Her feelings towards Nan Shao slipped again. She felt that this man had no manners at all, and was so much worse than her ex-boyfriend Xiao Zhe. Thinking of Xiao Zhe, she felt very upset, and she didn't want to care about Nan Shao's attitude anymore.

"That..." Qiao Yong rubbed his face, and was at a loss for words for a moment. In the end, he decided not to get involved in this matter, but said to the others: "Leave some people to dig out the corpse crystals and clean up the corpses, and the others will come with me to collect the supplies so that they can be distributed later."

Chapter 54 Zhang Yi's Enlightenment

Nan Shao did not find Zhang Yi on the first floor, so he guessed that he might have returned to his room. After thinking about it, he did not take Zhang Ruiyang to disturb him. Instead, he went to find a basin to collect rainwater and began to wash Zhang Ruiyang's hands. In such cold weather, he should have added some hot water before washing, but who would have thought that the little guy put his hand in first.

"Not cold?" Seeing the child squatting there and rubbing his hands seriously, Nan Shao was a little surprised.

"Not cold." Zhang Ruiyang raised his head and grinned to show his white teeth, then lowered his head again, his mood was a little not very good.

"What's wrong?" Nan Shao squeezed some hand sanitizer on his palm, then grabbed the child's hand, rubbed it, and asked in a gentle tone.

"Uncle Pumpkin, is it cruel to dig out the sparkling?" Zhang Ruiyang asked sullenly. It seems that Han Ling's reaction of making a fuss still affected him.

"Do you know what cruelty is?" Nan Shao cursed Han Ling in his heart for countless times, but still spoke softly to Zhang Ruiyang. The cognition of children at this stage all comes from the indoctrination of adults and the surrounding environment. If the adults' ideas are contrary to them, they will be at a loss. Nan Shao has never taken care of such a young child, but his intuition tells him that he must be careful at this time, otherwise the child will not only grow up crooked, but he may lose his life at any moment because of the inexplicable woman's kindness.

"The emperor does not allow Xiao Yingzi and the tenth prince to be together, which is very cruel." Zhang Ruiyang tilted his head and thought for a while, and said. Because he heard them say cruelty every day on TV, he didn't understand, but he also knew that it was not a good thing.

"..." Nan Shao suddenly realized that children were not so easy to teach.

In the end, this task was given to Zhang Yi, who came out before dinner. After listening to Nan Shao's story, Zhang Yi took Zhang Ruiyang back to the room. When he came out again, the little guy was lively again.

"What did you tell him?" Nan Shao was curious.

"I just let him know one thing, zombies eat people, the more zombies you kill, the fewer people will die, and corpse crystals can improve the strength of people who awaken superpowers, so digging corpse crystals is a must. It has nothing to do with cruelty." Looking at his son following Li Muran around, Zhang Yi smiled, feeling better than ever, because he had completely integrated his previous insights and felt that his strength had improved a lot, which meant something self-evident. "Can

he understand?" Nan Shao doubted.

"Of course. In fact, you only need to tell him clearly what you want to say. Even if he can't fully understand it, he will believe you. Because you are more familiar with him." Zhang Yi answered, not worried about his son being led astray. In fact, he has always been very direct in teaching his son, first because Zhang Ruiyang can really understand, and secondly, he went to prison before his son was born, and didn't know how to talk and get along with such a young child, so he simply taught him in an adult way. Over time, the father and son also formed a habit, and there was no problem in communication.

Nan Shao was taught, and then brought up another thing he was concerned about: "You are much stronger today than before, have you awakened your superpowers?"

As soon as he asked this question, many ears around him immediately pricked up.

"No, I just mastered some skills to kill zombies." Zhang Yi shook his head. In fact, in his opinion, it was indeed a skill, but to comprehend it, it also requires rich experience and considerable luck. If it weren't for the knife that he swung out completely by intuition last night, perhaps he would not have the opportunity to discover that the knife could actually be used in this way even if he spent more time.

Nan Shao wanted to ask again, but thought that Zhang Yi might not want others to know, so he held back. Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Zhang Yi couldn't help but laugh: "There's nothing you can't say."

Seeing that he was willing to speak, the people who had stopped talking and were concentrating on eavesdropping gathered around, only Han Ling was still sitting there, wiping her two knives carelessly, with a sneer in her lowered eyes. In her opinion, no matter how strong an ordinary person is, he is very limited, and there is nothing he can teach others. The spring water in her space can fully stimulate the abilities of these people, but unfortunately they seem to dislike her. She doesn't have the habit of trying to please others, so she won't take it out now.

"It's actually very simple to say. Everyone has studied physics, and you should remember that kinetic energy is determined by the mass and speed of an object. Under the condition of a certain mass, the faster the speed, the greater the kinetic energy. For example, the faster we draw our sword, the greater the damage we cause. In the final analysis, it's just a word of speed." At this point, Zhang Yi smiled, "But speed alone is useless. You also need a high degree of unity of eyes, ears, body and mind to achieve a sword that is not in vain and can be sent and received freely. This must be practiced and experienced by yourself, not understood by talking. I have only just begun to understand the tricks now, and it is also thanks to the fact that I have always focused on training in this area before. Just like the oil seller said, practice makes perfect." Some things sound mysterious, but in fact they are just that, and there is no need to hide them. Although Zhang Yi knew that he had found the way in such a short time, in addition to hard work, there must be some other factors, such as luck, and huge pressure. Compared with other people, he was under much more pressure because he had a disabled leg and a son. However, he did not say these things. After all, they were uncontrollable factors. Speaking out would only add pressure and frustration to others.

After hearing his words, some people looked disappointed, while others were thoughtful, but after all, their curiosity was satisfied, and no one speculated there anymore.

"Brother Yi, from what you said, it sounds like a martial arts novel." Routa Chen handed over a bag of dried fruits and asked. A lot of food was found on the seventh floor. In order to prevent the same thing from happening again in the community, Qiao Yong asked everyone to take a bag of food back and share the rest. Routa Chen couldn't keep the food, so he took it out and ate it first.

Zhang Yi waved his hand and didn't want it. "It's not that mysterious." He stopped talking at the right time. If he said more, it would be a show-off. In fact, in his opinion, it is closer to the result of potential explosion, being pushed to the limit by the environment and having no way to retreat. It's just that potential sounds familiar, but when you really look into it, you feel that it is a bit empty and resigned to fate. It is better to practice makes perfect, which can be seen and touched, and can give people more confidence.

Some people believe this, and some people don't. In addition to Li Muran and a few people who are familiar with Zhang Yi, there are also Pei Yuan, the youngest, and Jie Chen, a monk who does not abstain from meat. The rest of the people, because of their age, have experienced too many things, so many that it is difficult to believe what others say without reservation. They will keep these words in their hearts, turn them over and over, and only put them into action after they are sure that it is feasible. A nice way to describe it is to be cautious, but to be honest, it actually lacks the kind of passion and adventurous spirit of teenagers. But no matter what, Zhang Yi's words still left a mark in everyone's heart, like a psychological suggestion, affecting them for a long time afterwards, until they all gained something. Of course, Han Ling is not included in this list of people, because she already has a golden finger that defies heaven, and she does not need to move forward step by step like ordinary people.

"If everyone has superpowers, we won't have to work so hard." Han Ling suddenly said this, and everyone was embarrassed, but they had to admit that what she said was true. It was precisely because they did not have superpowers that they had to rack their brains to find another way to make themselves stronger.

"Are you talking nonsense?" The older people were not good at saying her, but Pei Yuan did not hesitate and pointed it out bluntly. In fact, when he saw Han Ling for the first time, the young boy was moved, but this good impression soon disappeared under the girl's unique style of behavior, and he felt that he could not appreciate it.

"How can it be nonsense?" Han Ling did not seem to hear the unhappiness in Pei Yuan's tone, and put the knife back into the sheath with a swish, and raised his head: "It's not that there is no way."

"What did you say?" Pei Yuan thought he had heard it wrong.

"I said, if you want to awaken superpowers, it is not impossible." Originally, she didn't want to say that the space spring water can awaken people's superpowers so quickly, but when she saw the lame old man being surrounded by everyone asking questions, Han Ling felt both ridiculous and uncomfortable. In the end, it was Nan Shao's eyes looking at the man, warm and full of trust that made her make up her mind.

This sentence exploded like thunder, making everyone present look at the girl. Even if they didn't believe that she really had a way, they couldn't help but have a faint hope in their hearts.

"You are bragging, if you want to know, why don't you tell the leader of Wangyang Town, I guarantee that you will be worshipped like a Bodhisattva!" Pei Yuan's heart was moved, but he made a sarcastic and unbelieving expression on his face, and provoked him.

"Amitabha, if the female Bodhisattva really has a way to awaken people's superpowers, it would be a great and virtuous deed. I am willing to build a golden body for the female Bodhisattva and worship her for life." Jie Chen added at the right time.

"Doing good deeds? No, I have no interest in doing good deeds." Han Ling laughed, and her eyes seemed to casually sweep over Nan Shao. Seeing that he seemed to care about this matter, she knew that she had probably made the right move. "If I can make you awaken your superpowers, what price are you willing to pay?" She originally wanted to integrate into their group first, and then talk about this matter, but she found that she didn't seem to have the patience, or she felt that they were deliberately alienated.

After hearing this, if everyone still didn't understand that she really had a way, then they would have lived in vain, but they were not as excited as they imagined. There is no free lunch in the world. Since she said it clearly, then the purpose must be great.

"What do you want?" This time it was Qiao Yong who spoke. He is a superpower, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't want other people in the team to awaken their superpowers. Now it is obviously a negotiation, and he can't just stand by and watch.

"In one day, the darkness will end, and then ferocious mutated plants and animals will appear. This is not a place to stay for long. I am going to the northwest to build my own survivor base there. Whoever is willing to go with me, I will help him awaken his superpowers." Han Ling said lightly, standing up, "I'll give you one night to think about it." After that, he put the two swords into the space, then turned around and left.

Chapter 55 The Reborn

"Is she telling the truth?" Pei Yuan looked at this and that, and asked with a complicated expression.

Whether it is true or not, no one can guarantee it before seeing it with their own eyes, but from Han Ling's words, a message is revealed. After the human zombie mutation, another greater wave of danger is coming.

"How does she know what will happen?" Someone else wondered, after all, there is no weather forecast now.

"Don't worry about this for now." Qiao Yong stopped everyone from discussing this topic that seemed very sensitive at first glance, "It will be verified soon whether it is true or not. I will not stop you from going forward. Think about it carefully. If you have friends, discuss it with each other. As for the superpowers..." He paused, "If what she said is true, it means that she knows more things, and think about your own stay or leave." In the end times, following a person with strong abilities and who seems to have the ability to predict will save a lot of detours. Moreover, if she can make ordinary people awaken superpowers, then is there a way to make the awakened ones more powerful? This is not impossible. If he can think of it, others should be able to think of it too. Even if they can't think of it, he still reminded them, which is worthy of the past few days of getting along.

"Qiaotou, what do you think?" Liu Xia asked. He has wind-related abilities, is fast, and can control the direction of the wind.

"Me?" Qiao Yong pulled his short hair, stretched his legs and sank into the back of the sofa. "I'm not interested in fighting with a little girl." He didn't say a lot of things. We are all adults and can see for ourselves. If you can't see it, it's just because you want the benefits. Although he doesn't think highly of this girl, he can be sure that in the initial period of time, people who follow her will have a better life than others. But he is a man, and he has no worries. It doesn't matter whether his life is good or bad. Why should he bend his back just to take advantage of a little girl? Zhang

Yi also has the same idea as him. Zhang Yi really hopes that he and his son can awaken their abilities, but he is unwilling to sell his father and son to others for this. He also doesn't think highly of Han Ling. It was obvious that this girl didn't have much experience. She had no scheming and patience, and she didn't have the courage and charm to convince people. Maybe she could really gather a lot of people with her ability and foresight, and even build the survivor base she mentioned, but the most likely thing was that she would be targeted by other more powerful forces. It was a crime to possess a treasure. Just the fact that she could awaken ordinary people's superpowers was enough for her to be cheated countless times. And the people who followed her would probably be hard to please. In addition, another reason was that he was not very confident about the method of awakening superpowers that Han Ling said, fearing that there would be some unpredictable sequelae, so he decided to give up.

"I won't go with her." At this time, they had returned to the room, and several people were discussing whether to go with Han Ling to build the survivor base. Li Muran answered very straightforwardly.

"Why?" The other three were a little surprised. They thought she should be the one who wanted to be with Han Ling the most, after all, they were all women.

"Like repels like." Li Muran sat in the chair with legs bent. His answer was very straightforward. As if he felt that this could not express all his thoughts, he added, "I'm jealous of her." She is beautiful, has space, is so powerful, and lives such a good life. Most importantly, she looks arrogant. No matter how you look at it, she is born to make people jealous.

Zhang Yi and others laughed. It is indeed difficult not to make people jealous. Because Han Ling is a girl, the men don't think it's a big deal, but if the other party is a man, they will probably be jealous.

"I also want to be hit by a fireball or a thunderbolt. How cool..." Meat Tower Chen took up most of the long sofa, his legs were crossed on the coffee table, and he squinted his eyes and said with a face full of longing.

Zhang Ruiyang was sitting on the other side of the sofa playing after taking off his shoes. He looked at him when he heard this, then crawled over and pounced on his fleshy belly: "Uncle Fat, you are so handsome now."

Routa Chen screamed exaggeratedly, then tilted his head, rolled his eyes, and muttered: "I'm dead... I'm dead... I was crushed to death by you... The handsome Fat Uncle was crushed to death by Fat Sheep..."

Zhang Ruiyang laughed loudly, Zhang Yi held his forehead and was speechless, Nan Shao sat on the head of the bed with his thumb rubbing his chin, not knowing what he was thinking, only Li Muran looked at Routa Chen with contempt, thinking that he was very childish.

The originally serious atmosphere was disturbed by this, and it was immediately messed up. In the end, the few people finally reached a consensus and immediately stayed away from Han Meimei as soon as they found an opportunity to avoid being harmed or silenced.

While they were discussing, similar scenes were being played out in several other rooms. The difference was that in some rooms, several people were arguing, while in others, one person was walking around thinking alone. Han Ling in the business suite on the sixth floor was not as relaxed as she appeared. As soon as she returned to her room, she slipped into the space. After saying hello to her parents, she searched for bamboo slips in the small building in the space, trying to see if there was any way to control people's hearts. Since she thought of taking the space water out to help people awaken their superpowers, she would of course think of the possibility that others would not admit it afterwards, or even set her up. People's hearts are treacherous, she is not unaware of it, and even deeply understands it. But if you want to accomplish great things, you can't look ahead and behind. Last time, because she wanted to take advantage of the sudden heavy rain and cold, to help Nan Shao and others a big favor, and then tie them to her boat, who would have thought that Wangyang Town would suddenly issue an order to attack the county town, so that she missed the best opportunity. But she didn't expect that since her rebirth, God seemed to have been on her side, and she actually let her meet him again here, and she didn't want to miss it again.

Han Ling was reborn. In her previous life, she lived in the apocalypse for more than three years, was killed by her best friend, and then was reborn a month before the apocalypse. At first glance, being able to survive for three years in the apocalypse must be an extraordinary person, but the fact is that she was just an ordinary person in her previous life, and she did not awaken her superpowers, nor did she have a space. However, she had a boyfriend with three superpowers of wind, thunder and fire who had always protected her, so that she had hardly ever experienced the cruelty of the apocalypse. She knew that zombies eat people, that it is not easy for ordinary people to survive, and how cruel animals and plants are, but she had only seen it, and sometimes she could even sympathize with Xiao Zhe and ask him to save some people back to the team. When Xiao Zhe refused, she would lose her temper with him and scold him for having no sympathy. In fact, she only knew that the apocalypse was cruel, but she had never been hungry once, and had never been chased by zombies to a dead end, and wanted to commit suicide in the face of the stinky big mouth.

Xiao Zhe was very powerful, and the team he led was also very powerful, and had enough ability to protect his lover tightly. Xiao Zhe loved her very much, and she had never doubted this. So later, when Xiao Zhe became one of the most famous people in the Dongzhou base and started to have other women outside, she was very painful, but she never thought of leaving him. However, she didn't expect that she would block the way of others and was eventually killed. And the person who hurt her was actually the woman she regarded as her best friend. The most ironic thing is that she asked Xiao Zhe to save that woman.

After rebirth, Han Ling reflected on herself. She reflected that she shouldn't be too kind and actually saved a beautiful snake. She reflected that she shouldn't indulge a scumbag, but in the end she lost her life. So the first thing she did was to kick Xiao Zhe away. It has to be said that being able to be reborn is a very lucky thing. Han Ling is even more fortunate because she got an ancestral space because of her rebirth. There are spiritual springs, cultivation techniques, various precious medicinal materials, and even plants in the space. She came from a wealthy family. In her previous life, she had a falling out with her family for Xiao Zhe, and she never saw her parents again until she died. So this time, she bought a plane ticket and flew back home the next day after her rebirth, and then persuaded her parents to spend all her savings, and even sold several properties in her family. With those funds, she bought enough supplies for a small base to use for a year. If she hadn't had any connections, she would have even wanted to buy a batch of guns. However, when everything was ready, the end of the world came. Her parents didn't turn into zombies, but they didn't awaken their superpowers either. At that time, she remembered that the spiritual spring might improve her parents' physical condition, but she didn't expect that it would awaken their superpowers instead.

In this life, she awakened the power of thunder, and from the beginning, she practiced the cultivation method in the space. With the help of spiritual springs and many elixirs, she advanced quickly and her ability was much stronger than that of ordinary people with special powers. With the lessons of the previous life, she knew that it was unrealistic to rely on others. If she wanted to live well, she must have her own power. Of course, the apocalypse female heroes she read when she was in school before the end of the world contributed to her thinking. She was reborn, had a space, and could practice Taoism. All her experiences seemed to prove to her that she was specially chosen by God and she would make a career that would be passed down through the ages. For a girl who was nineteen years old, even if she added the three years after the end of the world, she was only twenty-two years old, it was too far away to make a career that would be passed down through the ages. However, it was a heart-stirring thing to build her own base, kill all the handsome men, make the unfaithful men surrender, and make the unfaithful men regret. Therefore, when she was free, she began to plan where to build a base, how to gather survivors, and which strong men she had seen or even known before and subdue them, how to develop the base, etc. There was nothing to do in the end times, except for cultivation, this was the most interesting thing. She wrote hundreds of pages of plans, and she had done a good job in collecting supplies, and she was still working on it. As for the rest, she would take it one step at a time.

In the second month of the end times, she let her parents enter the space, and then rushed out of the city on her own. Her family was from Changshi, and it was purely accidental that she came to Wangyang Town, and it was purely coincidental that she met Nan Shao. When she saw Nan Shao, she recognized him at first sight. When she was at the Nanzhou base, Xiao Zhe once took her to a banquet held for guests from Zhongzhou. It was at that banquet that she met Nan Shao, and from Xiao Zhe's mouth she learned that he was a very powerful person, who had awakened the rarest life power. With this power alone, he swept across the entire Zhongzhou base, becoming a person that Zhongzhou base and all the bases that could be named would never want to offend even if they could not win him over.

Nan Shao, who sold medicine in Wangyang Town, was actually very different from the man she saw at the banquet at that time. She was able to recognize him at a glance, thanks to the deep impression she had at that time. At that time, Nan Shao was shrouded in a layer of alienation, and it seemed that no one could get close to him. In order to help Xiao Zhe keep him, she tried to get close, but was immediately frightened by the indifference and hostility under the layer of alienation, and her legs trembled and she could hardly stand. In the end, Xiao Zhe came to take her away.

That feeling was too deep. Even though she had been reborn once, she still remembered it deeply, and that was why she recognized him at first sight, even if he was not the same as in the previous life. However, if it was Nan Shao from her previous life, she would not even dare to think about making a move on him. But at this time he obviously had not yet realized his powerful abilities, and was still in trouble. If she did not seize the opportunity, even God would probably be displeased.

Chapter 56 Choice

Han Ling was confident that those who had not awakened would surely be eager to agree to follow her, even those with superpowers, because she had space, could help others stimulate superpowers, and knew more about the end of the world than others. So when they met again the next day, she was a little stunned when she found that only two ordinary men were willing to follow her. One of these two people was called Tan Kuifeng and the other was called Zhou Tong. They were very good at killing zombies, but they had almost no presence in normal times.

At that moment, she was very disappointed and very angry. She really wanted to ask them if they had a problem with their brains. They didn't know how to grasp such a good opportunity, but in the end she still left proudly with Zhou Tong and the other two. Before leaving, Zhang Yi stopped her.

"Have you changed your mind?" She turned around and asked, recognizing that she was with Nan Shao, and she couldn't help but feel a little excited and expectant.

"Do you know what kind of superpower life power is?" Zhang Yi asked instead of answering, and omitted words such as "can you tell me" and "can you tell me", trying to shorten the question as much as possible, so that people subconsciously feel that they should answer. Because he knew very well that if he asked her in the normal way, she would definitely not tell him. Her intentions towards Nan Shao were too obvious.

"Life power is the ability to control all living things and affect their growth..." Han Ling was thinking that she might be able to pull Nan Shao over through Zhang Yi. When she heard the question, she answered reflexively. She didn't realize it until she was halfway through her sentence. Her pretty face suddenly sank. "If you want to know, let Nan Shao come to me himself." After that, she stomped on the floor and walked away without looking back.

Expected reaction. Zhang Yi touched his nose, feeling a little regretful, but also a little bit of gain. He hoped that it would be inspiring to Nan Shao. Nan Shao had been seizing the time to practice because he had the corpse crystal in his hand. He didn't even come out for breakfast, but Zhang Yi left it for him. Now the food is limited, and it is his share. Even if he doesn't eat this meal, he can't refuse it. Besides, Zhang Ruiyang's rations still depend on the savings of the adults.

The crowd didn't have too many thoughts about Zhou Tong and the other two's departure. First, they didn't have a deep friendship with each other. Second, they were all adults and could understand each other's choices. Just like they were willing to follow them to risk leaving the community the day before just because of Nan Shao's intuition about danger, everything was just for survival. So far, the remaining people were basically trustworthy in terms of character. Because no matter what the reason was for them not to choose Han Ling, at least they didn't pretend to approach her and plot against her because of the various benefits she showed. Most of the people present were smart, and it was not difficult to plot against such a girl, even if the other party was very powerful.

"We don't plot against others, but we have to guard against being plotted against." Qiao Yong crossed his fingers and held them on his abdomen. He was obviously talking about serious things, but he suddenly blinked mischievously and said in a strange tone: "Because you know too much!" Han Ling exposed so many secrets in front of them, and they were not tied to the same boat with her, so it was hard to guarantee that she would not have the intention to kill her.

"She lacks cruelty and probably has never killed anyone, so as long as we don't get too upset with her, it's unlikely that she will kill us directly." Zhang Yi analyzed. He had seen many prisoners who killed people for various reasons, and he had formed a very keen sense of people who had killed people. Han Ling obviously did not belong to this category. "Maybe we should go to the warehouse first." You can't blame him for judging them with a mean heart. In his opinion, if you don't want them to reveal the secret alive, in addition to killing them directly, there are many roundabout ways.

Hearing him mention it, everyone remembered the use of the girl's space ability, and they were shocked. Pei Yuan jumped up and rushed to the elevator after catching Jie Chen. The warehouse is on the second floor below ground. They also went in to check yesterday and killed a zombie who should be the warehouse manager. There is a lot of food in the warehouse. Even if a lot of fresh meat and fruits have gone bad due to the power outage, the remaining food is still enough for more than a dozen people to eat for a long time. So they planned to wait for Han Ling to leave with Zhou Tong and the others, and then use earth walls to seal off the hotel and build a temporary residence. But if all the supplies were taken away by Han Ling using the space, that would be too bad.

"I'll go with them." Shi Pengsan stood up, obviously afraid that the two would suffer.

During the time they were away, everyone lost the mood to talk, worried that the facts would be as Zhang Yi guessed, and then they would either swallow their anger or confront Han Ling directly, neither of which they wanted.

Ten minutes later, Pei Yuan and the other two came back, looking normal.

"The things are not moved." Seeing the inquiring eyes of the crowd, Pei Yuan answered.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but did not dare to relax. After discussion, they finally decided to divide the things with Han Ling, and then put the part that belonged to them in another place, because her space ability was really a huge threat to everyone. As for secretly hiding some of the supplies before the other party remembered it, this idea only flashed through their mind and was quickly thrown into a corner by everyone. After all, the relationship with the other party has not yet become strained, and doing such a thing is too tasteless. It's okay if it's not discovered, but it might be bad if it is discovered. Food is scarce now, but everyone is not so greedy as to try to steal other people's things. Otherwise, why not go directly to the girl who obviously has a lot of good things in that space, and then find a way to control her, so that the harvest will definitely be greater.

"Move all the things that need to be distributed up here, everyone stays here, talk, play cards, practice, and if you want to sleep, put the sofa, table and chairs together. If you want to go to the toilet or do something, find two companions, don't be alone." Qiao Yong said, it's not that he is too careful, but that Han Ling's actions are too fast. Not to mention ordinary people, even if they join forces with several superpowers, they may not be able to deal with it. If everyone is together, she will have to think twice before she wants to take action. Then he looked at Zhang Yi: "Where is your son, and Nan Shao, let them all come down. The girl seems to be particularly interested in Nan Shao." When he said the last sentence, the expression on his face suddenly became ambiguous, causing several men to laugh.

"Yangyang and Nan Shao are in the room. I'll go call them." Zhang Yi stood up. He felt a little uncomfortable because of that sentence, but his expression did not change.

Routa Chen and Li Muran also stood up, obviously intending to go up with him. Zhang Yi was about to refuse, but was interrupted by Qiao Yong: "Let's go together. It's not a big mistake to be careful." Zhang Yi didn't say anything else. Although he thought Han Ling would not attack them for the time being, who knew if the girl would suddenly do something unexpected. There was no need to risk his life to verify his judgment.

The three of them did not take the elevator, but walked directly from the stairs. Zhang Yi walked in front, followed by Routa Chen two steps later, and then Li Muran. They did not talk to each other until they entered the room where Nan Shao was, and their tense nerves relaxed. It can be said that Han Ling's appearance caused them a lot of pressure. It was not that they believed that she was a vicious and murderous female devil, but that the secrets on her were too shocking. As Qiao Yong joked, they knew too much, even if they didn't want to know at all. If you know secrets that you shouldn't know, you must be prepared to pay the price for it at any time.

In the room, Zhang Ruiyang was wearing autumn clothes and lying on the ground with his hands and feet. He stretched his body, sometimes turning his head to the left, while lifting his right foot and stretching it backwards, and sometimes turning his head to the right, putting his right foot down and stretching his left foot. It was obvious that he was learning the Five Animals Exercises again. Zhang Yi saw that he was not wearing an outer coat and was about to scold him, but he stopped suddenly when the words came to his lips. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but at that moment he actually felt a sense of peace and lightness from the child as if he was swimming in nature, just like a little deer looking left and right while leaping lightly in the woods.

"Dad." Zhang Ruiyang turned around and saw them coming in. He immediately stopped and jumped up and rushed over, shouting softly.

"Why aren't you wearing any clothes?" Zhang Yi picked him up and asked softly. He glanced at the bed and saw Nan Shao sitting cross-legged at the head of the bed, holding the corpse crystal in one hand and the black stone in the other. He was still practicing, so he didn't disturb him. He and Routa Chen walked to the sofa, intending to wait for him in the room and help guard him.

Zhang Ruiyang slept with him and Nan Shao last night. Because it was dark all the time and he couldn't go out, he didn't wake up his son when he got up in the morning. He didn't expect that the little guy would be able to enjoy himself after waking up by himself. Looking at his son's big, black eyes like a little deer, he suspected that he had the illusion just now because of these eyes.

"Not cold." Zhang Ruiyang laughed and put his hand on Zhang Yi's face. It was warm and sweaty.

Zhang Yi was relieved, but still went to get pants and clothes to put on the child.

"Brother Yi, I think the Five Animals Exercises that Yangyang is practicing seem a bit weird." Li Muran, who rarely spoke up, suddenly said.

Zhang Yi had just put one of Zhang Ruiyang's hands into his sleeve, with the other hand still outside his clothes. He raised his head when he heard it, but before he could open his mouth, Zhang Ruiyang spoke first: "It's not weird, Aunt Muran." As if he was afraid that Zhang Yi would not let him play anymore, he widened his eyes nervously and continued to argue: "Every time I imitate the big tiger and the big bear, I feel warm all over. It's so comfortable. It's not weird at all."

Li Muran glanced at him indifferently and did not respond, but continued to say to Zhang Yi: "Let Yangyang do the full set of Five Animal Exercises for you, and you will understand."

"I forgot how to do it. I'm wearing so many clothes and can't do it." Zhang Ruiyang shook his head like a rattle, quickly put his other little hand into his sleeve, and then zipped up his clothes neatly, for fear that after his father saw it, he really didn't want him to imitate the big tiger again.

Seeing him anxious and lazy, Li Muran couldn't help but smile, but said slowly: "I think this Five Animals Play seems to be quite good, just like the Deer Play just now. When Yangyang was practicing the Tiger Play yesterday morning, I even felt a unique beast king's fierce aura emanating from him... Although it is still a little tiger with bared fangs and claws, it may be very beneficial to keep practicing." She herself is a medical student. Although she is a Western medicine clinic, she has also been exposed to Chinese medicine. Naturally, she knows that the Five Animals Play is just a health and fitness exercise. So when she saw Zhang Xiaoyang actually learned the charm and characteristics of animals, she was a little surprised. Logically, it would be good for such a young child to be able to perform all the postures according to the diagram. How could he understand breathing, thoughts, etc., but he actually gave her such a big surprise.

Zhang Ruiyang was dumbfounded, thinking that he didn't seem to understand. Aunt Muran seemed to be praising him. Was it a compliment? So should I learn the tiger to show my father now? He was a little uncertain and a little shy. Just when he was struggling, he heard Zhang Yi say: "Yangyang, can you imitate the big tiger for daddy?"

"Okay!" This time Zhang Ruiyang agreed very readily, probably because he felt that this should not be a bad thing. "I have to take off all my clothes, I can't move." He twisted his body and muttered, as if he wanted to prove that he had not lied before.

Zhang Yi helped him take off the coat and pants he had just put on. The child stood on the ground. Usually he ignored the people around him and rolled around as much as he wanted. At this time, facing the piercing eyes of three adults, he was embarrassed and hesitated for a long time. It was not until Zhang Yi turned his head and pretended to talk to Li Muran and the others that he lay on the ground and started to do it.

As soon as the poses were put into place, the child's whole temperament and charm became different, and he seemed to have forgotten everything around him. For the first time, he performed a whole set of Five Animals Exercises in front of everyone. The tiger's might, the bear's strength, the crane's lightness, the deer's tranquility, and the agility of the ape were like a vivid picture of nature unfolding in front of the three people, making people immersed in it. It was not until the little guy jumped onto Zhang Yi's knees like a monkey that they came back to their senses.

"My goodness, Zhang Xiaoyang, what kind of magical kung fu are you practicing? Brother Yi, why do I feel that you and your son have become like martial arts masters these two days?" Meat Tower Chen exhaled, looked at Zhang Ruiyang, who was expecting praise from adults, with shining eyes, and said excitedly.

Zhang Yi intuitively felt that what his son was doing was somewhat different from the ordinary Five Animals Exercises for fitness, and that it might have other better uses. In addition to improving his health, he couldn't help but feel very happy. He wiped the sweat off the little guy's forehead with his palm, and praised him with a smile: "Not bad." Then he looked at Routa Chen: "Look, the secret book is there." As he said that, he nodded his chin at the Five Animals Exercises that Zhang Ruiyang was spreading on the sofa.

Routa Chen was moved, and reached out to take the book. Just as he was about to say hello to Zhang Ruiyang, he heard a loud snap, as if something had exploded.

Chapter 57: Earth Dog

Nan Shao looked at the cracked black stone in his palm, and the thing that crawled out of it and was waving its tentacles, his expression was a little stiff. He never thought that after all the anticipation and feeding with his supernatural power for so long, this thing would come out. It

has a pale yellow body, six legs, a pointed head, two short tentacles on it, and two black bean-like eyes. Its abdomen is soft and bulging, with circles on it, and it is unclear whether it is a ring or a pattern. There are also two long thorns on its buttocks. What the hell is this thing? Nan Shao wanted to throw it away, but Zhang Yi grabbed his hand.

"Earth Dog?" Zhang Yi blurted out, looking surprised, firstly because the black stone actually hatched something, and secondly because it has been too long since he saw a living creature other than humans and zombies.

"Earth Dog." Zhang Ruiyang twisted Nan Shao's big hand, looked at the little creature on it with freshness and curiosity, and shouted after his father. His tone was familiar and excited. Not to mention other people, even Zhang Yi thought he had seen it before.

"Does Yangyang know it?" Nan Shao suppressed the creepy feeling in his heart and lowered his hand so that Zhang Ruiyang could see it more clearly.

Zhang Ruiyang shook his head.

Routa Chen groaned, stretched out his chubby fingers, poked the hard shell behind the head of the dog, and said, "This is a bug, it doesn't look like a dog at all." The tentacles on the head of the thing called the little bug moved, and then took a few steps back, obviously not happy to be poked.

"The scientific name of the mole cricket is mole cricket. It likes to dig holes in the ground and chew on the roots of plants. When we were young, we often caught it to play with." Zhang Yi smiled and picked up the mole cricket with his thumb and index finger. He was a little puzzled: "But I've never seen such a big one... This is still a larva. When it grows up, it will grow wings on its back."

The mole cricket was as big as a duck egg, seven or eight times bigger than the ordinary one. It probably knew that its life was in the hands of Zhang Yi's two fingers, so it folded its legs together and didn't move. It looked stupid and stupid. Zhang Ruiyang was so curious that he wanted to reach out and retracted his hand several times. The child never had many playmates. How could he not like it when he suddenly met a living one?

Nan Shao moved away with disgust and said, "Will it bite people? Let's kill it."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but when Nan Shao said the word "kill", Zhang Yi felt that the dog seemed to tremble, so he took it in front of him and looked at it carefully. He found that it was still stupid and silly. He couldn't help shaking his head and laughing that he was getting more and more crazy because of this world.

"No, don't kill it, give it to me, Uncle Pumpkin, give it to me, I'll take care of it!" Without waiting for Zhang Yi to answer, Zhang Ruiyang jumped up anxiously, trying to pick Zhang Yi and Nan Shao, probably not knowing whether to grab the insect first or get Nan Shao's consent first.

"I didn't see it bite when I played before." Zhang Yi hesitated, "It's rare to see this thing now. It's a pity to kill it. Let it fend for itself." He said to fend for itself, but he directly gave the dog to Zhang Ruiyang. In fact, there is no food suitable for mole crickets to eat now. Even if it is not killed, it is estimated that it will not live long.

As soon as Zhang Ruiyang got the dog, he hurried away, fearing that the adults would regret it.

Nan Shao followed the child with a worried look for a while, and saw that the child found a paper box and put the dog in it. It was indeed not bitten, so he withdrew his thoughts, and then found that Zhang Yi and the other two were looking at him strangely, a little confused: "What's wrong?"

Routa Chen laughed out loud, "Brother Shao, you have been busy for so long, and it turns out that you are just hatching such a worm?" With one sentence, even Zhang Yi and Li Muran couldn't help laughing. This matter was really too unexpected.

Nan Shao's face darkened, and he was actually very depressed. Zhang Yi's progress and what might happen soon made him feel more urgent. He originally hoped that the black stone could bring some breakthroughs to his superpowers, but he didn't expect this result. It seems that before he finds out his superpowers, he should practice machete honestly.

Seeing that he was in a low mood, Zhang Yi coughed dryly and said with a smile: "In fact, it is not completely fruitless. At least it proves that you can not only promote the growth of plants, but also promote... cough, promote the growth of insects."

After hearing what he said, everyone realized that the dog was indeed not so cute and not so majestic, but it was a living insect, not the cabbage, radish and bean sprouts in the past, so Han Ling's statement that Nan Shao had life abilities was probably not nonsense.

Nan Shao's eyes lit up, and before he said anything, Routa Chen was already excited: "So, if Brother Shao's ability is enhanced to a certain stage, we will have meat to eat? Braised pork, big plate chicken, old duck soup..." He sucked the saliva that was about to fall, and suddenly felt that the future could actually be very beautiful.

Li Muran honestly and bluntly punctured his beautiful dream: "If one day a piglet, chicken and duckling can jump out of a stone, it is probably possible."

Nan Shao's confidence, which had just recovered, fell into the abyss again. Did his ability come from foodies?

Zhang Yi couldn't hold back his laughter anymore, patted Nan Shao on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, let's go downstairs and eat something first. Qiao Tou'er and the others are probably already busy."

Of course, Nan Shao couldn't be so easily hit. Moreover, when he confirmed that his ability was no longer a wood ability, he felt that this matter was not so simple. Although it was a bit difficult to put this ability to use, he believed that as long as he tried more, he would find a clue sooner or later. So he quickly cheered up, got out of bed, dressed and washed. During this process, Zhang Yi told him what happened downstairs before, as well as some information he got from Han Ling. When he heard the words "can control all life", his heart trembled, and he seemed to have grasped something. Seeing that he was lost in thought, Zhang Yi didn't say anything. Sometimes inspiration comes, although it may not be possible to figure it out and put it into practice immediately, as long as it is grasped, it will be a breakthrough, so it is the most important time to not interrupt.

When several people went downstairs, a lot of things had piled up in the lobby. There were a lot of goods in the warehouse. If it wasn't for the concern that the rain would not stop and the first floor might be flooded, there would be no need to move all the supplies upstairs even if they had to share the supplies with Han Ling. The dog that Zhang Ruiyang put in the paper box caused a small sensation. When there were only people and zombies left in this world, and microorganisms that could make food rot but were invisible to the naked eye, the occasional appearance of new living creatures could completely brighten people's eyes, even if it was once a big pest. I believe that even if you see a fly at this time, it will probably be protected like a rare animal.

"Brother, can you feed it biscuits?" Zhang Ruiyang asked Pei Yuan, who was squatting in front of him and teasing the dog with him with great interest. Among all the people, Pei Yuan was the youngest in age. Although he was as fierce as others in killing zombies, he was still a child who was not yet an adult and was somewhat playful.

Pei Yuan scratched his head, a little uncertain: "I think it's okay." He was a child in the city. He had never seen a grasshopper, let alone a dog. How could he know what it eats?

"In fact, you can feed it with tender grass leaves and tender vegetable sprouts." A big head with short stubble hair poked over, but forgot to recite Amitabha.

Pei Yuan glared at him unhappily, "Why don't you find a piece for us to see?" He almost forgot how long it had been since he last saw green.

Zhang Ruiyang's eyes lit up, and he stuffed the paper box into Pei Yuan's arms: "Brother, help me get it, I'll go find some vegetable leaves." After that, he ran away. The monk

and the boy stared at each other for a long time, and the boy murmured, "Did I hear it right?" The monk raised his hands and clasped them together, as if he wanted to chant the Buddha's name, but in the end he just shook his head silently, probably because he had already chanted it in his heart. So the two of them looked at each other like lightning, and in a flash, they caught up with Zhang Ruiyang who had already run to the elevator entrance, and their heartbeats uncontrollably accelerated.

Zhang Ruiyang asked Xiong Hua who was waiting by the elevator to move things: "Uncle, can I go down to Uncle Pumpkin?" After Nan Shao had breakfast, he went down with Zhang Yi and Routa Chen to move things. Only Li Muran was driven aside by Qiao Yong because she was a woman. She didn't waste time and found a place in the restaurant to absorb corpse crystals for cultivation. Zhang Ruiyang didn't run around, but he kept an eye on his father's movements at all times.

Xiong Hua touched his head and found that it was actually quite good to have such a child in the team, at least it wouldn't be so lifeless, "Wait until we move the things out, then you can go in."

"Okay." Zhang Ruiyang showed a bright smile, then stood aside obediently, waiting for the elevator to come up.

The numbers on the four elevators changed one after another, and the ding sound rang continuously. The doors slowly opened, revealing that they were filled with supplies, but there was no one inside. The people waiting on the elevators walked over and started to move things out. When Zhang Ruiyang saw some scattered things, he followed the adults and helped to carry one or two. His serious look made people who passed by him couldn't help but lower their heads to take a look, and then walk aside to avoid accidentally bumping into or hitting him. Although it took more effort, a smile of love appeared on his face. Zhang Ruiyang didn't realize that he had caused a little trouble to the adults, and he was still busy moving things.

Pei Yuan and Jie Chen looked at each other, wondering why the little guy said he wanted to find some vegetable leaves, but he started moving things. But Jie Chen couldn't stay still, and quickly got up to help move things. Only Pei Yuan held the box, and he didn't dare to put it down, for fear that the dog would run away and he couldn't even compensate for it. They

were all grown men, and they moved things quickly. After a few trips back and forth, the elevator was empty. Zhang Ruiyang looked at Qiao Yong who was closest to him, "Uncle Hu Zi, can I go in?"

"Aren't you afraid of going in alone?" Qiao Yong already knew why the kid was so diligent in helping to move things. Hearing the question, he bent down with his hands on his knees and asked gently.

Zhang Ruiyang hesitated, then shook his head. He had never taken an elevator alone, but seeing that the lights in the elevator were bright and there were mirrors, he thought it shouldn't be scary.

Qiao Yong said, "Good boy!" Then he picked up the child and walked into the elevator. The elevator seemed to be fine, and there was only one floor, but he was still worried about letting the child go in alone.

Zhang Ruiyang was startled, but he was very happy when he came to his senses. In such a short time when the elevator went down one floor, he chattered about his purpose of going down to find Nan Shao. Qiao Yong's eyes rolled again and again, and he began to think about the supply of green vegetables in the team.

Chapter 58 The rain stopped.

Zhang Ruiyang found Nan Shao in the warehouse. Qiao Yong sent him down and went to help move things. He did not wait to see the result. Even if he had any plans in mind, he had to see the other party's strength first.

Nan Shao was happy to see that Zhang Ruiyang did not look for Zhang Yi when he came down, but ran to him first. After understanding the little guy's intention, the slight pride disappeared instantly. It turned out that he had only a little bit of merit. Although he was depressed, he still took out a cabbage seed from his jacket bag and spent a few minutes to grow it into a palm-sized seedling. He still had some superpowers left. He did not use up all of them. After all, he still had things to do. So many corpse crystals were not absorbed in vain. Compared with the beginning, his ability has been significantly improved. It's a pity that he can't use it in battle.

Zhang Ruiyang got the cabbage seedling, happily hooked Nan Shao's neck, kissed him on the face, and ran away happily without even caring about his father. Qiao Yong took special care of him. He went up with the child before the elevator was full. When he saw the green leaves, his eyes began to glow green. If he hadn't been concerned about his face, he would have snatched them and handed them to the cook to wash, chop and cook into porridge. Now he can only watch the child happily feed the little bug with the leaves, and sigh in his heart that people in this world are not even as good as bugs.

A touch of green just passed under everyone's eyelids, attracting all their attention. When they were sure that it would eventually fall into the belly of a newly hatched bug, they couldn't help but sigh.

Pei Yuan couldn't sit still for a long time. Although he had a childish mentality, he went to high school before the end of the world. How could he bear to face such a bug that kept pretending to be dead? When he saw Zhang Ruiyang coming back, he immediately stuffed the box back into the child's hand and ran away like a fly.

"Brother, don't you watch the little dog eat the leaves?" Zhang Ruiyang asked puzzledly, obviously not understanding why his elder brother ran so fast.

"No, no, you play by yourself, I'm going to help." Pei Yuan said without turning his head. His original interest in green leaves was also completely worn out during the waiting. Besides, everyone was busy. Even if they didn't say anything about his young age, he couldn't be ignorant. After all, he no longer had parents to support him. Others couldn't always give in to him. It was not easy for everyone. If he didn't work hard, he would be eliminated sooner or later. Thinking of his parents, he couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe his eyes. His eyes were a little red, but he didn't cry. If he wasn't useless, his parents wouldn't die. He had already cried at that time, and he wouldn't cry again, but would live well according to his parents' wishes.

Zhang Ruiyang was a little disappointed, but his attention was soon attracted by the local dog who became lively because of his return. Maybe the local dog also knew who was the most reliable, so it had been pretending to be dead before, but now it began to crawl around in the box. It didn't eat the cabbage seedlings it encountered from time to time, but when Zhang Ruiyang pushed it over, it liked to touch his fingers with its tentacles, which made the little guy very happy.

The noise of moving things downstairs did not alarm Han Ling. It was not until the evening that she came down with Zhou Tong and Tan Kuifeng. Zhou Tong and Tan Kuifeng had joy in their eyes. It must be said that Han Ling's spiritual spring was indeed very effective. In just one day, they awakened their superpowers, one fire and one water. It would be a lie to say that they were not jealous, but Zhao Chun and the others did not waver. In this doomsday, the worst thing to do is to waver. You will not know how you will die. It is better to go all the way. Maybe you can fight for your own way to survive.

Han Ling helped Zhou Tong and the others awaken their superpowers so quickly. Of course, she had her own plans. First, according to the records in the scroll, she found a spiritual plant called Lingxin Fruit in the space. After pouring a few drops of blood, the fruit produced will make others feel close to the person who dripped blood, and this feeling will deepen over time; second, she hoped to use the two people to influence others to change their minds. The Lingxin fruit is shaped like a peach and only bears nine fruits at a time. Han Ling picked them all, and the Lingxin fruit tree withered. It is unknown when it will sprout and grow again, so this thing is not inexhaustible. However, if she can cultivate nine powerful and loyal people, this power should not be underestimated. She does not need to use this method for the rest.

When she heard Qiao Yong talk about the distribution of supplies, she did not bargain and took one-third of the amount directly. Although she did not take this little thing seriously, who would complain about too much food in the end times? They were few in number, and the reason why they took one-third was that Qiao Yong divided it according to the number of zombies killed by each person when cleaning the hotel.

Seeing that she was not dissatisfied, Qiao Yong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they were many in number. If this lady insisted on asking for half or something, he would not be willing. At that time, whether it was an open dispute or a secret confrontation, it would be a waste of energy. If he had that time, he might as well sit down and absorb two corpse crystals.

Since the two sides had completely split, Han Ling was too lazy to force herself to please others. In addition, Nan Shao always kept a distance from her. She was proud in her heart and of course she couldn't get close to him. So after collecting her things and saying a few words to Zhou Tong and the others, she went back upstairs. Zhou Tong and Tan Kuifeng didn't want to stay downstairs all the time, so they chatted with others for a few words and left.

Qiao Yong and others began to move the remaining things to the Chinese restaurant, planning to wait until dawn when Han Ling and others left, and then decide whether to move them upstairs according to the situation outside. That night, everyone slept in the restaurant with their own quilts and pillows. Of course, they also carried weapons and other things with them.

Qiao Yong called Nan Shao aside and muttered for a long time. Finally, the two reached an agreement. The team would give out corpse crystals, and Nan Shao would make some vegetables for everyone when he had spare energy. It didn't matter if it was not big or small. The important thing was that it could give everyone a change of taste. In fact, when the base was first established, some people considered letting the wood-type ability be responsible for the growth of vegetables and fruits. Unfortunately, the wood-type ability is not only too weak in combat power, but also very slow in absorbing corpse crystals and improving abilities. After a month or two, it can only make small sprouts become large sprouts, and it is a single sprout, which is simply useless. In the end, most bases gave up this idea, but still provided a few wood-type abilities for future use, but more wood-type ability users were abandoned. Nan Shao's improvement speed is faster than that of ordinary wood-type abilities, and the black stone played a big role in this. Otherwise, he would at most be able to grow small cabbage sprouts into large cabbage sprouts, which is fine for the local dogs to eat, but it would not work for people.

Although Nan Shao felt a little depressed about this task, and vaguely felt that his idea in the morning had become a reality, he thought it was also a way to improve his abilities, so he agreed. So that night, while absorbing corpse crystals, he also helped to plant a few cabbage seedlings. The next morning, Li Muran chopped them up and put them in the porridge. When everyone saw the little bit of green in the bowl, they couldn't help but smile.

Although Qiao Yong said that they could get together to play cards or something, no one really wasted time. Almost everyone was doing their own things. Those with superpowers absorbed corpse crystals to improve their superpowers, and those without superpowers strengthened their physical strength and trained their skills in slashing and killing. Ordinary people like Zhao Chun and Pei Yuan used to be hungry, and they dared not consume more physical strength in other places except slashing and killing zombies. Now that there is no shortage of food and water, of course they have to seize the time to exercise.

Zhang Yi took a wooden chair to the lobby to practice the skills he had just learned. There was no light in the lobby, and the light was a little dim due to the little light coming from the restaurant. Zhang Yi's knife skills only played a very small role in vision, otherwise it would be impossible to draw the knife so quickly, so it didn't have any effect.

Probably influenced by him, several people who were practicing physical fitness also went to the lobby to avoid making the restaurant smoky and affecting the absorption of corpse crystals by the psychics. Everyone practiced their own things. Although they did not talk to each other, during breaks, they occasionally exchanged glances and smiled knowingly, which made people feel that the atmosphere was very warm and harmonious. The most frustrated among the psychics was probably Li Muran, because after absorbing saturated corpse crystals, she had no way to use them. In the end, she could only come to the lobby like Routa Chen and practice physical fitness and agility like the unawakened. Fortunately, she did not regard herself as a psychic, so compared with the unawakened, she seemed to be much luckier. At least in addition to physical training, she could also improve the quality of her body in all aspects by absorbing corpse crystals.

The night passed quite peacefully. When it was almost noon the next day, a faint light finally appeared in the sky. As the light became brighter and brighter, the heavy rain seemed to be getting smaller. Facts have proved that Han Ling's words are correct. When they realized this, everyone's face became solemn.

Mutated plants and animals, in this period when humans are chased by zombies, if these two deadly things appear, will humans still have room to survive?

"Let's save water first." Qiao Yong sighed silently and said. No one knows what to do in the future, but the problems that are about to be faced must be solved. It's still the problem of water. Once the rain stops, where can they get drinking water? Obviously, the county town is still not suitable for long-term residence. Everyone

went out and vacated everything that could hold water in the hotel and placed a large area on the roof. Then they cleaned the bathing pool on the seventh floor and filled it with water bucket by bucket. Even if they want to leave, they need some time to prepare. The longer the preparation time, the better it will be for them. During this period, it is impossible not to eat or drink water.

Han Ling sneered at their busyness and said nothing more.

It was not an illusion. The rain was indeed getting smaller and smaller, and the sky was getting brighter and brighter. On the fifth day, the rain turned into drizzle. The sky was gloomy and gray, but the light was the same as the rainy days before the end of the world. In these few days, everyone had a premonition that the rain would stop, so while there was still water available, everyone boiled hot water and washed themselves from head to toe. The dust that had accumulated for more than half a year was gone, and the whole body felt light. I felt that even if the future was bumpy and difficult, there was still hope.

That day, Qiao Yong stood on the roof, braving the drizzle, looking around, and found that the streets and alleys were still wandering with zombies, some dense and some sparse, as if there was no difference from before the rain, but the original gray and dead silence was suddenly dotted with lush green, red, yellow, blue and purple plants, turning it into a vibrant but strange picture. The area near the hotel was very monotonous, and no plants grew.

"It's time to go out and check the situation." He said to himself. Han Ling had left with Zhou Tong and the other two two days ago when the rain was still heavy. Before leaving, she had asked to talk to Nan Shao in private, but was rejected by Nan Shao. He could understand Nan Shao's thoughts. The girl was too dangerous. He didn't know how many tricks she had yet to use. Before he had the confidence to deal with her, it was the wisest decision to avoid her, even if she had enough tempting information in her hands. Thinking about how Zhou Tong and the other two followed her every step and obeyed her every word, he felt a chill in his heart. That was not normal at all. Even if he really thanked her for helping them awaken their superpowers, they shouldn't show it so obviously with their low-key and silent style. But those were not his concerns. As soon as

Han Ling left, the three earth-type superpower users in the team absorbed the corpse crystals while sealing off the hotel with earth walls, leaving only a gate. The earth wall was still rising. To prevent zombies, people with bad intentions, and perhaps some other unknown creatures.

It's time to go out and check out the situation. They can't stay in the hotel forever until they run out of food and water and face danger.

Chapter 59 Zombie Evolution

The hotel is surrounded by a wall that is only one meter high but one meter thick. Except for the main entrance, the other directions were built by the three earth-type supernaturalists in the team when they were practicing their supernatural powers before Han Ling and the other two left. The earth wall was rammed very solidly, and it did not collapse even after being washed by rain. The entrance and exit door was not opened at the original main entrance, but at the exit of the employee passage at the back. In a large room filled with broken furniture and equipment, they found a metal door, which several men installed together. Shi Pengsan, who has metal supernatural powers, strengthened it.

Because it is close to the bus station, and it is a small county town, and it is adjacent to the old city, the surrounding environment of the hotel is not good. There are no green plants and no leisure facilities. Moreover, the back door is a dirty and messy alley. It is usually a place where fruit vendors and some mobile snack stalls gather. There are many zombies, but compared with the front door of the hotel, it is not so eye-catching. After all, once there is a movement at the main door, it will attract thousands of zombies on the street. So even though Han Ling is extraordinary, he still chose to leave when it was still raining. Even if the back door was really full of zombies, the pressure they could bear was very limited because the alley was not wide.

Standing by the window of the guest room on the second floor, the situation in the alley was in full view. There were some carts, stoves, broken and faded parasols, collapsed shacks, and tables, chairs and benches scattered inside. At this time, there were forty or fifty zombies pushing and shoving at the back door. They were attracted when the door was installed two days ago.

"Put them all in." Qiao Yong looked for a while and said. This back street must be cleaned up and then separated from the front street, otherwise there will be zombies in the front and back streets, and they will be blocked and have no way to retreat.

No one else had any objection to this, and without Qiao Yong saying much, they each picked up their usual weapons. Thinking that there should not be much danger this time, Zhang Yi left Zhang Ruiyang in the hotel.

The iron gate opened, and the zombies that had been squeezed outside rushed in. Sometimes, because the gate was too narrow, a few of them were stuck. They were either killed by the people waiting inside or squeezed in by other zombies that rushed in from behind. They either broke an arm or had a large piece of meat rubbed off, but it did not affect their desire for flesh and blood. When the first zombie broke in, everyone started to fight.

"Damn, how did this zombie become so powerful?" Meat Tower Chen narrowly avoided the bite of a zombie, swung his knife to chop it down, spitted, and said hatefully.

Not only did he feel this way, but others did too. As soon as they encountered it, they almost suffered a big loss. Those zombies were actually much more flexible than before the rain, and their muscles and bones seemed to be harder. In the past, one knife could kill one, but now it takes several consecutive chops to work. Fortunately, they have never stopped training for a moment these days, otherwise it would be more difficult to deal with them. Therefore, the power of Qiao Yong's fireball and Shi Pengsan's metal spikes was revealed at this time. The two of them were extremely agile and strong, and with the superpowers, they were even more powerful, so they took on most of the pressure. Zhang Yi's swordsmanship, which he had learned in the past few days, had been perfected after splitting several wooden chairs into thin and fine pieces. If the weapon in his hand was not sharp enough, his performance would be no less than the previous two. The earth spikes fired by the three earth-type superpowers in the team could not hurt the zombies at all, and they had to build a wall later, so they did not use their superpowers, but relied on their own agility and strength to fight the zombies like the unawakened ones. Of course, compared with ordinary people, they still won. Liu Xia's wind-type superpowers at this time only made him faster, able to easily deal with the zombie group and avoid danger, but when it comes to killing zombies, he is not much better than others, and the same is true for Nan Shao, Li Muran and others. Pei Yuan was the weakest. Before the apocalypse, he was just an ordinary, spoiled high school student. All his fighting skills were accumulated bit by bit after the apocalypse. No matter his strength or on-the-spot reaction, he was not as good as an adult

. Now facing the zombies that were as flexible as normal people, he seemed a little insufficient. "Two people in a group, attack together!" No one expected that a heavy rain would change even the zombies. Qiao Yong saw that this was not going to work, so he shouted.

Before he spoke, Zhang Yi and the other four had already joined together. This was the way they were used to cooperating in battle. In the past, they attacked separately and occasionally blocked attacks from other directions for their teammates. Just now, when they found that the zombies became flexible, they naturally became one attacking while the other defended, and vice versa. It can be said that this was the tacit understanding formed between them after a long time together. If it were another person, I am afraid that he would not be able to understand the intentions of his teammates without talking and cooperate seamlessly.

After Qiao Yong spoke, the others also subconsciously found those they usually had a good relationship with and formed a two-person attack and defense formation. There were exactly fourteen people, seven groups. In this way, the originally chaotic situation was instantly reversed. Zhang Yi and his four people are needless to say. Qiao Yong and Shi Pengsan are close friends. They have crawled out of the pile of dead bodies together countless times, so the two of them can be said to be invincible when they work together to attack. In addition, the two earth-type superpowers who cooperated well were Wen Bin and He Yukun. They met after the end of the world. Because of the same superpowers and the fact that they were in the same superpower team, they had a good relationship. As for Xiong Hua and Liu Xia, Liang Guanlun and Zhao Chun, Pei Yuan and Jie Chen, they had no intersection before, and they only became familiar with each other during this period, so they were a little restrained at the beginning, but they have come this far, and they all have their own unique survival instincts, and they quickly adapted to each other's fighting methods.

Facts have proved that Qiao Yong's tactics are correct. After cooperating with each other, although these zombies were much stronger than before, they were still cleaned up in an orderly manner. Fortunately, the door was opened in a remote alley, and such a battle did not alarm the huge group of zombies in front, otherwise they would not be able to escape unscathed.

Wen Bin, He Yukun and Xiong Hua blocked the two ends of the alley with earth walls, and the group returned to the hotel. It can be said that the change of the zombies gave them a head-on blow, which was more frightening than the mutation of plants and animals. Even if they could still deal with it, they still found it difficult to accept. After all, Han Ling had reminded them of the mutation of plants and animals before, so they were mentally prepared, so when they really saw it, they were not surprised except for the increased pressure. Han Ling did not say anything about the change of the zombies, and the shock caused would naturally be very strong.

The zombies did not continue to rot, but became more flexible and more tough. This fact made everyone sitting in the restaurant silent.

"If this continues, won't those zombies become more and more difficult to deal with?" Zhao Chun shrank in the sofa with a pale face and muttered. For a moment, he was filled with despair, and even had the idea of ​​giving up on himself. Zombies are evolving, animals and plants are evolving, but only humans are still standing still. How can we live like this?

"Damn it, this doesn't give us a way to live!" Xiong Hua punched the table and cursed in extreme frustration. Not to mention ordinary people, even their superpowers can't keep up with the changes in this world.

"The situation is not that bad yet." In the depressing atmosphere, Zhang Yi spoke slowly. He glanced at Zhang Ruiyang, who was sitting on a single sofa holding a paper box and talking to Tu Gouzi. He took a deep breath and said, "We can still deal with zombies for the time being. As for the mutated plants and animals, we have to see them before we can make a judgment. If we give ourselves the psychological suggestion that there is no way out before this, then we will be truly dead." He didn't care what others thought. For Yangyang, he would crawl out a way even if he had to use his hands.

Qiao Yong coughed, drawing everyone's attention to himself, and then said, "Zhang Yi is right. He backed down before the fight even started. He is a coward! All of us who have survived to this day must be great men..."

As soon as he spoke passionately, the emotions of the crowd seemed to be gradually stirred up. When they heard this, they all looked at Li Muran at the same time, and then they burst into laughter, sweeping away the previous dull and depressed atmosphere. Although Qiao Yong didn't finish his words, the effect was achieved, so he didn't care. His eyes fell on Li Muran, and he found that this girl was actually calm, as if she was not the one being laughed at. Her Qi-cultivation skills were much higher than many girls of the same age, and he couldn't help but admire her.

"Now that we have repaired, let's continue working. We don't have time for you to be sad like a grown-up girl. First, collect the things in the alley and pick up everything that can be used." He said while the atmosphere was relaxed.

Now, they finally knew why Han Ling left before the rain stopped. The zombies have become so powerful that it is not easy to leave the city, so they can only collect supplies as much as possible, and then make this temporary residence more solid, and then work hard to improve their abilities. As for leaving, it is no longer a problem they can consider. As for Han Ling's silence, they really didn't have any thoughts. They all knew that it would only benefit her if they were trapped here, and it was normal for her to do so. If it were someone else, they might do something even more cruel. Everyone

went out, and the first thing they dealt with was the more than 50 zombie corpses in the back wall. The corpse crystal was taken out, and surprisingly, the crystal core inside was a circle larger than before, and it faintly revealed a pearl-like luster. Qiao Yong didn't put any on himself, and directly gave each person three, even ordinary people were no exception. He kept the extra ones, planning to share them together after he killed the zombies next time.

"In the future, all zombies we kill together will be divided equally according to the number of people as long as no one retreats. The corpse crystals obtained by grouping will be distributed by the people on the mission, and those who kill alone will get them individually." Qiao Yong said, and then asked, "Do you have any objections?"

Even the best zombie killers were willing to share equally, so how could others have any objections, so the matter was settled. As for privately, whether the unawakened people were willing to give the corpse crystals they obtained to others, exchange them for things, or save them for future use, it was all their own business.

Then everyone got busy again. Some people cut up more than 50 zombie bodies into pieces and hung them on the earth walls around the hotel, not even throwing away the internal organs. Without the heavy rain, the smell of humans would become obvious, so they needed to use other means to cover it up as much as possible; the other people dragged the rubbish in the alley back to the wall. The food and seasonings that were placed in the open were soaked by the rain and their original appearance could not be seen. However, there were still some gift boxes containing canned and bottled eight-treasure porridge, peanut milk, and various fruit juices and drinks that were still intact. Of course, they had to be put away. As for whether they were expired, no one had considered it for a long time. The wooden tables and stools were taken back to dry and chop wood for burning. When the electricity and gas ran out, they could only rely on these things. The wheelbarrows were kept, perhaps for use when looking for supplies in other places in the future. The woven cloth used to build the shed was pulled back and dried for use... After

a round of searching, there was almost nothing to throw away except the pots and bowls that were already in the hotel. Even the bowls and pots were broken into pieces and then inserted into the wall, which played a defensive role to some extent. Of course, this would not affect the earth-type ability users to increase the height of the wall. They had enough ability to insert those sharp objects back again after the height increase.

Chapter 60: First

Encounter with Mutated Animals In addition to the two ends of the back alley leading to the front street, there is also a narrower branch road extending into the low and dilapidated building complex in the old city. However, this place is close to the center of the county town, and it is difficult to get out even if you enter the old city. This road is exactly at the intersection of the back street and the front street, and is blocked outside the earth wall. It is precisely because it is far away that the zombies over there were not alarmed when the alley was cleaned the day before.

A hole was opened in the earth wall that could accommodate a cart. Qiao Yong and Shi Pengsan passed through first, and the others followed closely. When Wen Bin and the other three earth-type superpowers used their superpowers at the same time to build an earth wall at the herringbone three-way intersection at the fastest speed, most of the remaining people defended the entrance to the old street, and the other part was alert to the situation on the street.

How could so many people come at once without attracting zombies? The zombies in the old street were not so bad, after all, the street was narrow. Even if all of them rushed up, there were only a few zombies that could reach them. The ones in front had to lie down before the ones behind could squeeze in. Besides, there were not many zombies in the old street, so they were not a threat at all. However, there were quite a few zombies in the front street who came here because of the smell. When the earth wall was still waist-high, several of them had already rushed over.

The earth-related ability does not need to touch the wall to build a wall. Generally, it is separated by a certain distance. Of course, the shorter the distance, the less effort it takes. The source of soil actually comes from the earth. They cannot directly create soil, just like the wood-related ability cannot create plants and command plants to attack without seeds and plants. However, soil can be found everywhere, so this is also where the earth-related ability is stronger than the wood-related ability. It is precisely because of this distance that the zombies cannot catch the three people for a while, but what makes people depressed is that they are flexible and know how to climb over the wall after being flexible.

Faced with zombies that could climb over the wall, the guards were of course not polite, and they chopped down one by one. When the zombies gathered, the earth wall was more than two meters tall, and Wen Bin and the other two were exhausted, so they were sent back by Zhao Chun and others. This time, the cleaning of the old street was just a test, first to see if there would be any mutant animals, and then to see what the mutant plants looked like, so there was no need for all to go out, leaving only Qiao Yong, Shi Pengsan, Nan Shao, Zhang Yi, Jie Chen and Pei Yuan. The reason for this arrangement was to let the two boys exercise more. With Qiao Yong and the other four together, safety should be no problem. If even Qiao Yong and the others couldn't stop them, then even if they stayed in the hotel, they probably wouldn't have much of a chance to survive.

The six people took steady steps and wiped out the zombies that gathered step by step. There were not many people in the old street during the day. Most of them went out to work or do business. Those wandering on the street were either old people with grandchildren, or housewives and vagrants sitting at the door of their homes playing mahjong and chatting. So even if all of them turned into zombies, the number would be very limited, not to mention that not all zombies had mutated. Even so, several people did not take it lightly. They carefully searched all the houses they passed by, ignoring the supplies, just to avoid being suddenly cut off by something.

"Look, what is that?" Pei Yuan suddenly spoke, pointing to the roof of a building not far away.

Several people who were about to enter the self-built small building next to them stopped and looked in the direction he pointed. That was the direction of the new city. The building seemed to have four or five floors. Because it was blocked by the heavy roof, it was hard to tell whether it was an office building or a residential building in the community. At this time, on the roof of the building, a strange-looking red thing was squatting on it. It looked like a bird, because its two big wings were flapping from time to time, but the squatting posture was very much like a monkey.

"Brother, your home is here. Could that thing be a special sculpture?" The others were a little confused, but because they were a little far away, they couldn't tell clearly, so no one spoke. Pei Yuan looked at Zhang Yi and asked with a pitiful expression, naturally hoping to get a positive answer.

"I haven't seen it before." Zhang Yi shook his head. Just when he was about to say that maybe he didn't pay attention, he heard Nan Shao speak.

"It's alive. It saw us." His eyesight seemed to be better than others, and he could actually see the appearance of the monster clearly. It was not a bird or a monkey at all. Its wings and body had no fur at all. It looked like it had been skinned. Its body was blood red, covered with strong muscles and a network of blood vessels and meridians. Its body looked more like a child, but its hands tucked in front of its chest were as sharp as bird claws. When they noticed it, its eyes were looking over at them. Its blood red eyes made Nan Shao shudder even though he was bold.

This simple sentence made the hairs on everyone's necks stand up. A strong sense of danger enveloped them at the same time. Qiao Yong made a prompt decision: "Go back to the hotel immediately."

Unfortunately, it was too late. After everyone ran two steps, they heard a shrill scream like a human before death. When they looked up again, the thing had disappeared from the spot.

"It's above! Come in quickly." Nan Shao shouted, grabbed Zhang Yi beside him and rushed to the nearest open door. The others reacted quickly, and they didn't even look up to confirm before rushing over.

There was a loud bang, accompanied by the sound of glass breaking, and the whole two-story building seemed to tremble. The people who entered the room looked at each other in bewilderment, and their heads were not just covered with cold sweat. Because when they turned around, they met the blood-red eyes of that thing, and the cruel and greedy light in it really made it impossible for people to think positively. The wind from the wings came in from the door that was not closed in time and the broken window, carrying a strong fishy smell.

"What the hell is this thing?" Qiao Yong threw out a fireball and cursed at the same time to cover up his horror.

"Only the devil knows." Shi Pengsan, who was always taciturn, picked up the available metal in the house, kneaded it, and made it into a sharp long weapon. He poked it out and replied coldly.

The thing looked huge, but it was very flexible, otherwise it wouldn't have flown over their heads from a distance they couldn't see clearly in the blink of an eye, so it easily avoided Qiao Yong's fireball and Shi Pengsan's long metal spikes that were too long to operate, and at the same time, it didn't forget to use its sharp claws to grab the wall. As soon as its claws fell, a large piece of the cement brick wall was removed, and sand and brick chips fell down. It seemed that it would only take a few times to dig a big hole in the wall in front.

"This won't work." Nan Shao and the other four couldn't attack from a distance, so they could only stare at them. Zhang Yi observed calmly for a moment and said, "Pei Yuan, the two of you go and see if there is a back door. Nan Shao is ready to pick me up at any time." After that, without waiting for others to react, he brushed past Shi Pengsan with a knife and rushed out.
