Chapter 89: The Situation Deteriorates
On the city wall, a burst of cheers erupted.
Under the starry sky in the dark night, the cool breeze of the autumn night blew Xiao Lianyou's clothes and hair, she stood on the watchtower, watching the last zombie wolf fall under the ability, but there was not even a trace of joy on her face.
From three days ago Haowen led the team to Qingshan Town Farm to collect grain, this is the fifth large-scale invasion of zombies, especially the invasion in the middle of the night tonight, in addition to zombies, there are also zombie animals, although in the end under the protection of the mercenary group and the troops, the final victory, but the human side has also suffered heavy losses.
The most important question is: where are the mutated animals?
In the past, mutated animals and plants were also fighting zombie animals to compete for living space. And now, no one dares to set foot in Daqing Mountain, because it has already become a world of zombie animals.
Without the job of hunting and gathering, life is even more difficult for many small teams of Adepts and ordinary people. As more and more survivors flee from Dong'an to safety, the food crisis is getting worse.
Exhaling lightly, Xiao Lianyou looked into the distance, hoping that Howen could return smoothly from this trip, and more than 900 acres of farmland should be able to recover a lot of grain, right?
Zheng Xingchen put down the binoculars and looked back at Xiao Lianyou, with a solemn expression: "This time the zombies actually know how to use the dark night to sneak attack, if you didn't predict their arrival in advance and were rushed into the safe zone by them, the consequences would be unimaginable." ”
Xiao Lianyou frowned: "Brother Zheng, a large number of survivors have come to the safe zone recently, and we have prepared for many zombies that have followed them. However, the behavior of the mutant animals in Daqingshan is very abnormal, and I always feel that there will be a greater crisis. This time Howen led the team back, I want to go to the mountain to see, ask the old pine tree, maybe there will be a harvest. By the way, I went to pick some mountain delicacies and wild herbs. ”
"It's okay, Howen and I will guard the safe zone, but you'd better not go for too long, after all, no one can sense the danger in advance better than you. ”
Xiao Lianyou nodded, "Don't worry, I mainly want to ask questions this time, and it won't take too long." That's right. How is Chen Yan there? The thought that the one-and-a-half-month deadline was now only three weeks made her nervous.
"Chen Yan is like crazy, the vegetables and fruits in the field are ripe recently, and he takes the ability and a few old farmers out to harvest every day. He really received a lot. ”
"Let Lao Li and the others take the wood-based supernatural to harvest quickly in the nearby farmland, and the ones that are not ripe are ripe. In the mercenary union, the task of recovering is announced, and a large number of wood-based abilities are recruited, and it is best to collect all the land that can be harvested in the vicinity within a week...... Also, pay attention to strengthening vigilance. Prevent people from taking advantage of the chaos. ”
The sense of urgency in Xiao Lianyou's voice made Zheng Xingchen raise his head, and seeing the anxiety between her eyebrows, Zheng Xingchen also had a premonition.
"Okay! I'm going to set up a task. ”
Xiao Lianyou nodded, watched Zheng Xingchen get off the watchtower, and drove away, Xiao Lianyou turned her gaze back into the distance.
The dark night was like ink that could not be dissolved, smeared on the sky.
The safe zone of more than 10,000 people is as quiet as a ghost town. The only thing that could make people feel reassuring was the gentle chatter of a team of warriors who had gone out of the city to dig crystal nuclei under the city wall that had just finished the battle.
Closing her eyes, Xiao Lianyou let her spiritual power pass through the city. Fly into the distance. The crisp sound of seeds growing and the rustle of leaves in the night breeze are all clearly distinguishable from the grass and trees within a radius of 5,000 meters.
She suddenly opened her eyes, and there was a gleam in her eyes, and she thought of something: Are there no rats in the last days? Where are all the rats? Even if there are no rats, what about the worms?
She didn't go down the watchtower again, but just sat down and started her daily evening class: yoga first, practicing her flexibility. Reabsorbs crystal nuclei and increases mental energy.
There was another group of warriors under the tower, and they all looked at the woman on the tower with admiration, she had always worked hard. Even if it's late, finish the day's exercises.
The dawn of dawn lifted the veil of night, and when the first rays of sunlight shone on Xiao Lianyou, she woke up from her slumber.
Getting up with a full body of morning dew, she walked down the watchtower.
A large force of the Hurricane Mercenary Regiment arrived, although they thought that they would reveal the fact that they were not themselves because of the long contact. But there are some things that cannot be left undone.
"Go to the Hurricane Mercenaries. Xiao Lian said faintly to the little soldier who was driving.
In the car, she rummaged through the memories of Grandma Yu Yiran and other relatives in the gym, and silently recited it a few times.
These memories are like a book to her. just chewing on other people's joys and sorrows, love and hate, in the end, only to get a sigh.
Hurricane mercenary group, the restaurant is full of people eating.
An old woman with gray hair sitting on the throne touched Yu Yiran's face: "Ranran, Ah Xuan has been found, you can rest assured now, why have you lost so much weight!" the old man said distressedly.
Yu Yiran knelt in front of the old man's knees, put his head on her knees, and shouted affectionately: "Grandma, how can I be thin? ”
"I heard Xiaowei's mother say that Ah Xuan doesn't want to go with us?
Yu Yiran turned his head to look at Ning Wei, who was snuggling beside his mother, with a flash of boredom in his eyes, and then turned back to pull the old man and said, "Who said that?" Ah Xuan said that there was something to do, and he would go with us after a while. ”
"I don't think so, I've heard that she is empathetic, and she has a good relationship here, or the commander of the safe zone! Can she go with you?" Ning Wei's mother scrimmed.
The others who were eating in the restaurant were all interrupted by this sharp voice and looked back at Ning Wei's mother.
Ning Wei's face was flushed, and she reached out and gently tugged at her mother's sleeve. She threw him away.
"What's wrong with our Xiaowei? Follow you wholeheartedly, you are still protecting that little vixen, she is about to run away with others! Why are you still so dead-eyed?"
Seeing the relatives of his teammates who were talking about it, and then looking at his grandmother who was waiting for him to explain, thinking of Ah Xuan's unwavering attitude, he shouted in annoyance: "I just like Ah Xuan, and she doesn't empathize with her......"
"Yiran," a cold voice interrupted.
When he looked up, the person who had been thinking about it day and night stood in front of him, holding the demon's arm and looking at him quietly.
He was overjoyed, and there was no one else in his eyes, and rushed over to hug her.
Xiao Lianyou looked at the people who were staring at her, her body moved, and she didn't dodge.
Gently pushing Yu Yiran away, Xiao Lianyou walked in front of the old woman, and also learned from Yu Yiran to kneel on the ground, and gently called "Grandma......"
This voice was different from the coldness of the past, thinking of this respectable old man in her memory, her voice was full of sadness and admiration. The old woman stretched out her hand, stroked Xiao Lianyou's hair, and said "Hey!" with relief, "My Ah Xuan has grown up and is getting more and more beautiful." ”
Everyone's eyes were focused on her, looking at her who couldn't tell where she had changed.
Today, Xiao Lianyu has long hair and a shawl, wears a violet stand-up collar shirt, and a milky white casual suit, with the delicate pattern of the shirt exposed on the collar and cuffs, and the whole thing is still the same as before the end of the world, beautiful and delicate, and there is no change in sight.
But her demeanor was cold, her eyes were firm, her eyes were no longer delicate and cowardly, but there was a sense of coercion, and everyone was swept away by her gaze, only to feel that their hearts were seen through. (To be continued.) )
