Chapter 502: The Last Tribulation (2)
The valley was the same as when Jiang Guilan left, Xiaotu found Jiang Guilan's coffin in a pile of pine and cypress treesβshe originally wanted to lie down in the coffin, but she sadly found that the wooden coffin, which was already somewhat decaying, had been clumsily dismantled into pieces by Jiang Guilan.
She thought about it, and could only drag the bottom of the coffin, trying to find a slightly smoother place to rest for her recent period.
After looking for a long time, because Jiang Guilan's limbs were stiff and not very coordinated, her speed was really slow, so when Xiaotu finally saw a cave not far away that she didn't know what it was, she was suddenly excited, and dragged the coffin board over in a hurry.
However, as she was about to get closer, she suddenly stopped.
At the entrance of the cave, a young man sat on the ground with a pale face, holding a pistol and pointing it at himself with a trembling hand.
Xiaotu stretched out his free hand weakly.
"Don't be impulsive, boy!"
The boy looked stunned, and seemed to continue to be more and more frightened.
"Yes, talking zombies!"
Xiao Tu's stiff flesh shook on his face and explained, "No, I'm not a zombie. Don't be impulsive, boy! Put down the gun, we have something to say!"
Seeing that the expression on the young man's face was a little loose, she quickly seized the opportunity and explained: "Although I don't look like a normal person, it's just because I was poisoned, and after a period of time, when the toxicity subsides, I will return to normal." β
The young man hesitantly raised his gun and squinted at Xiaotu seriously, and asked Chi Qian, "Really?"
Xiaotu nodded firmly: "Really!"
The young man was still suspicious, but he was not as vigilant as he was at the beginning.
- Actually, he has also seen zombies, in terms of appearance, Xiaotu is quite different from ordinary zombies, not to mention that Xiaotu is still very calm and rational.
He was slightly relieved in his heart, but he still did not relax, he pointed a gun at Xiao Tu and said, "Don't get close, stay away." β
Xiaotu looked at him aggrievedly: "But it's getting dark, I want to find a place to rest, I have found a lot of places, and there is only one cave here." β
The young man paused, his expression still very persistent.
"No, this is what I found out first, this is my place, you leave quickly!"
Xiaotu "tsk", this pit daddy child, if she wasn't immobile now, she would definitely have to smoke him.
She glared at him angrily, in exchange for the little boy's more vigilant movements, and then turned around helplessly to leave, when suddenly a soft female voice came to mind behind her.
"Wait. β
Xiaotu turned around, and a young girl of about twenty years old stood against the wall of the cave, and showed a weak smile at Xiaotu.
The muscles on Xiao Tu's face twitched.
- Well, she wanted to raise an eyebrow, but unfortunately the muscles in her face were too stiff, and the effect she wanted obviously didn't work.
When the young man saw the girl coming out, he immediately took a few anxious steps over and helped her up: "Sister, why did you come out!
Xiaotu stared at the girl hesitantly, watching the boy and the girl push and shove one by one to come out and the other not to let them out, and then opened his mouth: "That...... Are you hurt?"
The girl's pupils shrank suddenly, and the boy reacted even more violently, pushing the girl behind him violently, and then pointed the muzzle of the gun at Xiaotu.
Xiao Tu resisted the urge to pout, and made a harmless movement: "Don't get excited, I just smelled the strong smell of blood on her body." β
The coffin board she was carrying in her hand fell to the ground with a "pop" because of her movements, and there were bursts of dust.
After the dust dissipated, Xiaotu tilted his head and added: "Speaking of which, I have quite a bit of research in this area, and I have taken the professional qualification doctor's certificate before. β
- but it's not this world.
Xiaotu showed his sincerity with a serious face.
Before the boy could say anything, the girl walked out from behind the boy, and with a very happy smile on her face, she took a few steps towards Xiaotu and said, "Really? I'm so lucky, I'm still worried about what will happen if I can't survive Xiaohu!"
The young man shouted loudly in the back in a hurry: "Sister!"
The girl turned back to him and smiled slightly: "It's okay! β
As she spoke, she turned her head to Xiaotu and smiled, "Right?"
Xiaotu: "......"
- In other words, although Jiang Guilan has indeed lived for hundreds of years, yes, she was only a teenager when she died, my sister!
She subconsciously raised her hand and touched her face, unsurprisingly touched the rough and stiff cold skin of her hand, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but tremble slightly, and said, "Ah, that's what I said......"
She put down her hand sadly, looked up at the sky, and said, "It's late, although there are no people in this valley, but occasionally there are some beasts or something, let's go into the cave first." β
- She has to hurry up and cultivate, not to mention how powerful her cultivation is, at least she must cultivate her human form first!
The girl nodded and said, "Well, there have indeed been traces of seeing wild beasts moving before. Let's go in, little tiger. β
The young man named Xiaohu glared at Xiaotu fiercely, and then helped the girl into the cave.
The cave is very small, and it looks like it is indeed the cave of some kind of large beast, but at this time, in this kind of valley not far from the city where humans gather, the real large beast has already become extinct, so at this time, a few people are not worried that the real owner of this cave will suddenly return.
In the cave, three people sat at opposite ends of the cave, and the girl was very close to Xiaotu, but the young man was quite wary of Xiaotu.
Xiao Tu stiffly sat down cross-legged on the ground, and then looked at the two of them: "The smell of blood on your body is very strong, were you cut by some sharp weapon?"
The young man's pupils shrank suddenly, his eyes were slightly red, and he suddenly lowered his head.
The girl patted his hand, and the smile on her face was inexplicably bitter.
"It was scratched by zombies. β
"Oh, that's right. β
Xiao Tu nodded, and the expression on his face did not change at all.
The girl couldn't help but look at her with some surprise for a long time, and then pondered the vocabulary and said, "You ...... Don't you feel scared?"
Xiaotu tilted his head a little confused: "Afraid, why are you afraid?"
Xiaohu suddenly looked up at her, and said in a suppressed voice: "Normal people who are scratched or bitten by zombies will gradually become the same as zombies over time, so aren't you afraid?"
Xiaotu nodded suddenly in realization-no wonder these two people came to this kind of place, they should be worried that this girl will also become a zombie.
Thinking about it, she glanced at the boy and asked, "Then were you also bitten by zombies?"
Xiaohu's face was stunned, and then he lowered his head: "I didn't." β
Xiao Tu gave him a strange look, and then began to think about how to detoxify this girl - in Xiao Tu's eyes, this so-called medicine that turns people into zombies is just a relatively strange virus.
Suddenly, there was silence in the cave.
After a long while, the girl suddenly laughed again, "By the way, I haven't asked you what your name is? My name is Zhang Jiaxin, and his name is Zhang Jiahu." β
"My name is Jiang ...... My name is Seamo. β
She originally wanted to say Jiang Guilan's name, but then she thought that no one knew Jiang Guilan here, so it was more comfortable to say a name that she was more familiar with, so she said the name Ximo instead.
Unexpectedly, after her name was said, the expression on Zhang Jiaxin's face suddenly became a little strange.
"Your name is ...... West Ink?"
When she said this, even Zhang Jiahu, who lowered his head as if he was very depressed, couldn't help but look up at her: "You are Ximo?"
Xiaotu was really a little surprised this time: "What? Have you ever heard the name Ximo?" Or do you know someone called Ximo?"
Zhang Jiaxin subconsciously shook her head: "No...... We haven't heard anything about Symo. β
Xiaotu glanced up at her.
She didn't miss Zhang Jiaxin's obviously surprised look when she said she didn't know her.
However, she didn't dwell more on this matter, and directly pretended not to find anything, and changed the topic freely.
Xiao Tu asked some more about some of the symptoms that Zhang Jiaxin was experiencing, and then closed his eyes and began to cultivate.
Although she was cultivating, she looked like she had fallen asleep against the wall.
The cave was quiet for a while, and Zhang Jiahu suddenly called Xiaotu's name softly: "Ximo, Ximo?"
Xiaotu heard, but she closed her eyes and didn't answer.
After a few more minutes, Zhang Jiahu whispered again: "Sister, are you asleep?"
It took a long time for Zhang Jiaxin to reply to him, and his voice was also very low: "No, what's wrong?"
Zhang Jiahu was silent for a while, and said, "Why did my sister say just now that she hadn't heard the name of Ximo?"
Zhang Jiaxin was also silent for a long time before replying: "It's nothing." β
After a long time, Zhang Jiahu said "oh" softly, and the two of them talked intermittently for a while.
"Why didn't my sister let me chase her away?"
"Didn't she say she's a doctor? Maybe it will help us. β
"But my sister was scratched by a zombie......"
"Didn't she just say there was no way?"
"Who knows if she's a liar. β
ββ¦β¦β
"What's more, she looks horrible. β
"Didn't she say it was poisoning?"
"Sister, do you believe it?"
"Why don't you believe it?"
"Sister!"
Zhang Jiahu was obviously a little angry, this "sister" called a little louder, Xiao Tu moved his limbs, and the original silence in the cave was restored.
After another period of time, Zhang Jiahu couldn't help but open his mouth again: "Sister." β
Zhang Jiaxin couldn't help but smile bitterly in the dark and sighed: "It's late, go to sleep." β
Zhang Jiahu called "sister" several times, but this time Zhang Jiaxin never answered.
Before dawn the next day, Xiao Tu opened his eyes, after a night of cultivation, Jiang Guilan's body was much more flexible than at the beginning, Xiao Tu stood up quietly, bypassing Zhang Jiaxin and Zhang Jiahu and the two out of the cave.
The sun had not yet come out, and the air was filled with foggy moisture, Xiao Tu closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and then climbed the largest tree nearby with difficulty.
The cultivation of the so-called monsters pays attention to absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, and the rising sun in the morning is the most aura moment, and the so-called purple qi from the east is talking about this phenomenon.
Xiaotu sat on the tree and struck a posture with her heart facing the sky, and then sat silently, knowing that the sun had completely come out and the fog around her had dissipated, she opened her eyes and jumped down from the tree.
When she returned to the cave, Zhang Jiaxin and Zhang Jiahu had already gotten up, and the two of them were startled when they saw her come in.
Xiao Tu smiled and raised the wild fruit in his hand and said, "Good morning, I picked some fruit, do you want to eat it?"
Zhang Jiahu stared at her silently, Zhang Jiaxin squeezed his hand, and said with a smile: "You got up so early, thank you." β
Xiao Tu handed over a few fruits in his hand, "I'm used to getting up early, the morning air in the mountains is very fresh, and by the way, I also found a few medicinal herbs that can be used." β
Zhang Jiaxin's eyes opened slightly: "You mean ......?"
Xiaotu tossed the fruit in his hand as a toy, and said, "Well, aren't you injured?"
Zhang Jiahu stood up with a "Teng" voice: "Can you really cure it?!"
Xiaotu nodded nonchalantly.
Zhang Jiahu grabbed Zhang Jiaxin's hand in ecstasy: "Sister, she said it can be cured!"
He laughed a few times, then looked back suspiciously: "If you can cure it, why didn't you show up when you were looking for biological scientists and doctors in the base before?"
Xiaotu rubbed her hair, which had become a little shiny after a night's hard work, and flickered with her face unchanged: "Well, I have been doing research in the deep mountains and old forests, and I have never paid attention to the things outside, but I just went to the nearby city before before I knew that something was wrong." β
Zhang Jiaxin and Zhang Jiahu listened to her explanation, glanced at each other, and saw ecstasy in each other's eyes.
It's been a long time. Zhang Jiahu asked cautiously: "Can you really cure it? Can you also cure those zombies outside?
He threw out several questions in a row, and Xiaotu was silent for a moment, and then answered them one by one.
"It's still in the experimental stage, and although I'm not sure if the drugs I've been given now are useful, as long as I study them in detail for a while, I'm 100% sure. β
"As for those who have become zombies, I can't help it. They have completely lost consciousness, their brain cells have all died, and they can only maintain the most basic animal-like predatory instinctsβto be exact, they are dead. β
