Chapter 24: Recuperation

After the excitement, the soldiers counted the spoils of war and treated the wounded. In this battle, more than a dozen people were killed by the vines, and dozens of people were injured by their own people who were confused.

Cheng Haowen walked to the place where Xiao Lianyou's two-handed sword fell and picked it up. After a few more steps, she put away all her knives. handed it to Xiao Lianyou, and let her go back to rest.

Xiao Lianyou did not refuse. She needed to digest the spiritual power of the big poplar tree, so she put the sword into the scabbard as she walked, and put away the flying knife.

As she walked back, the warriors looked at her with admiration, and everyone who knew her greeted her with a smile.

Xu Qing followed Xiao Lianyou and walked all the way to the car she was sitting in.

Xiao Lianyou turned her head and saw her starry eyes: "Xiao You, Xiao You." You're too mighty today. Such a powerful tree still has spiritual power, you have defeated it. ”

Her eyes full of adoration reminded her of the small class teacher in the unit. is also chattering with her like this, how to admire Xiaoyou, what troubles to solve, and how long-winded the child's grandmother is, as if there are endless words.

Xiao Lianyou couldn't help laughing: "Why did I defeat it? Without the attack of the warriors, how could I deal with those vines and small poplars?"

After speaking, Xiao Lian smiled apologetically and said, "Xu Qing, I'll go back and rest first, and we'll have a good chat when we're rested." ”

Xiao Lianyou returned to the car, immediately sat cross-legged in the back seat, and entered the sea of knowledge.

The spiritual power ball in the sea of knowledge has expanded a lot, and the purple electric ball is still floating in the spiritual power, and the surrounding area of the sea of knowledge is pitch black. Only the spiritual power and the glimmer of light emitted by the purple electric ball.

From time to time, a few black threads floated in the darkness, which were the remnants of the spiritual power of the big poplar tree. Xiao Lian contemplated, clearing the dark emotions of the residual spiritual power little by little, and then transforming them into her own. It's not difficult, but it's a lot of work.

Xu Qing stood in front of Xiao Lianyou's car, standing guard for her, and thought, "My performance today is really bad." was confused by Yang Hua, it was useless. Look at Xiao Yu again, a girl of the same age, she can't compare to her at all. Thinking about it, he patted his head in frustration.

Suddenly, a male voice in my ear: "Why are you standing here and patting your head?"

Xu Qing was so frightened that she almost screamed, remembering that Xiao You was still resting in the car, she immediately covered her mouth. Staring at the person with round eyes.

When he saw it, he immediately whispered: "Captain Cheng, Xiao You said to rest, I will stand guard here and not let people disturb her." ”

Cheng Haowen smiled and said in his heart: Just you, who can you watch? But he still said with a straight face: "You go back to your car, it's time to go." ”

After saying that, getting into the car, the driver and the soldiers got into the car one after another, and set off again. Along the way, there were more and more zombies. Adepts and warriors keep getting out of the car to clean up the zombies. Until the west slope of sunset, the convoy walked to the South District Plaza of Qingshan Town, not far from Wal-Mart.

Once a haven for the residents of the neighborhood to rest and entertain, it is now a hellish sight.

The fountain in the middle of the square was no longer a colorful fountain, but a rotting and stinking corpse, and the water was covered with a flowing black-red liquid. Flies flew over these liquids and corpses from time to time. Cars that were smashed, plastic bags and newspapers flying all over the sky, and garbage littered all over the ground except for the skeletons. On the billboard that was knocked down on the side of the road, there was still a glamorous beauty, still looking around with a smile. But someone didn't know who pressed a bloody handprint on the beautiful woman's clothes.

As soon as the convoy drove into the square, zombies crawled out of the side of the car and the corridors on both sides of the road. Cheng Haowen divided the team into four teams, each with four or five abilities and dozens of fighters. One team fought first, the other teams were on guard, and the pistols and submachine guns of the fighters were equipped with silencer equipment, and they quietly took turns fighting, so that a good speed of advance was maintained.

When advancing to the square, two zombies suddenly crawled out of an office building on the left, these two zombies were smaller than the other zombies, their hands and feet were completely degenerate, their claws were sharper, and their long tongues stretched out for two meters. One of them had long hair and a shawl, unkempt like straw.

I saw two zombies jumping down and rushing towards the crowd, as fast as lightning.

After a burst of machine-gun fire, the zombies were not touched even a single hair. But they had already reached the crowd, and they saw like a tiger entering a flock, and the tongue of the zombie wrapped around the neck of a warrior, who was dragged over and dismembered before he could scream. Others looked frightened.

A gold-based supernatural had just sent out a round of steel spikes, and the long-haired zombie had already pounced in front of him, and he only had time to wrap his body in metal before the zombie's claws grabbed his arm. The tooth-sore metal crunch sounded continuously, and the face of the gold-based mutant became whiter and whiter, and a power-type mutant next to him grabbed an iron bar on a roadside railing and hit the zombie's face with a snap, and the zombie roared angrily and stretched out its long tongue, wrapping up the power-type mutant and rushing upward, and the attacks of the other abilities failed.

Cheng Haowen asked the other teams to clean up the ordinary zombies, let Liu Yifei take his place to command first, and he himself picked up the dagger and became invisible in an instant.

When he reappeared, he was in front of the male speed zombie, which was dodging a fireball of the fire ability, and its eyes were about to hit the tip of Cheng Haowen's dagger.

The zombie temporarily changed direction and jumped back, and its body spun and pounced on the crowd behind it, and Cheng Haowen followed closely at a very fast speed. Keep stabbing the zombie's head and eyes with a dagger.

The first-level zombies already have the perception of danger, and in order to prevent the dagger from stabbing the head, the zombies have no time to eat people, and they constantly have to dodge.

Xiao Lianyou woke up at this time, she noticed the commotion outside, and immediately opened the car door and walked out.

The little soldier of the driver just wanted to come over to explain the situation, Xiao Lianyou only glanced at it, and immediately waved his hand, and the flying knife immediately appeared in his hand, and he rushed straight towards the beauty speed zombie.

The beautiful zombie was wrapping her tongue around a warrior and throwing it into her mouth, and Xiao Lianyou's flying knife had already reached its mouth. With a snap, the knife stabbed his tongue and stuck it on the ground. The beautiful zombie immediately shook off the warrior, and with a strong tongue, the knife flew up, rolling towards Xiao Lianyou. The warrior was thrown out and fell to the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Xiao Lianyou didn't have time to save this person, she knew that the speed couldn't match this zombie, so she took out all eight flying knives and threw them at the zombie. Eight knives line up in a circle in the air, surrounding the zombies. Xiao Lianyou used her spiritual power to lock the zombies, and used the method of freezing space to make the zombies slow down.

With such a single-minded and dual-purpose purpose, if it was in the past, Xiao Lianyou would definitely not be able to bear it. But now that she had just absorbed the spiritual power of the old poplar tree, it was the time when it was full, and the eight flying knives flew back and forth, and the mutant zombie only felt that the air around her was viscous, making it difficult to move. Several throwing knives kept slashing over the zombie's head, and each time it narrowly avoided it.

Cheng Haowen and Xiao Lianyou each entangled a mutant zombie, and the pressure on ordinary soldiers and strangers was greatly reduced, and they continued to clean up under the command of Liu Yifei until they temporarily cleaned up all the zombies near the square.

Cheng Haowen was invisible again, and the male zombie immediately pounced on the crowd when he saw that he was gone. Just as it was traveling, Cheng Haowen suddenly appeared, and the dagger stretched forward. The huge inertia caused the zombie to fall directly through the eye socket and fall to the ground.

He looked at Xiao Lianyou. Xiao Lianyou kept shrinking the space around the zombie, getting smaller and smaller, the zombie became more and more irritable, just when it was about to howl loudly, Xiao Lianyou's eyes were cold, her hand made a posture of retraction, and several flying knives were all inserted into the zombie's head.

Xiao Lianyou raised her head and smiled at Cheng Haowen. She walked towards the zombie, endured the nausea and pulled out the knife, and used the knife to find the crystal nucleus on the zombie's head and pick it out. Cheng Haowen also took out the crystal nucleus of the zombie he killed.

It was already evening, and Cheng Haowen asked the troops to start preparing dinner. Some people were busy all around, some set up tents, some took down the cauldrons, found wood in nearby houses, and lit a fire.

After a while, the square was cleaned up, and the aroma of food wafted in the air, Cheng Haowen walked up to Xiao Lianyou and said, "Xiaoyou, thanks to you today." Are you tired or not, let's go and eat together. ”

Xiao Lianyou nodded, and walked to the front of a pot with Cheng Haowen. Noodles were cooked in the pot, and some Chinese cabbage and some canned beef were placed in it. In front of her and Cheng Haowen, there was also a plate of pickled cucumbers that others didn't have.

Xiao Lianyou was also hungry, so she was not polite, and took the noodles handed by Cheng Haowen and ate them in a big gulp. Cheng Haowen saw that she was eating so fragrantly, and he also began to eat. There was silence all around, except for the sound of eating.

After eating, Cheng Haowen arranged to be on duty for the night, and the others rested.

Xiao Lian sat quietly on the bench under the statue in the square, silently looking at the statue. This is a scene of a girl with long braids kicking a shuttlecock, and the shuttlecock wants to fly on the girl's feet. This girl reminded her of her sweetness.

Suddenly, Xu Qing sat beside her, smiled, and said to her, "Can you sit here?" Xiao Lianyou smiled and nodded, Xu Qing always made her feel good.

After sitting for a while, Xu Qing suddenly said: "My house is not far from the Washington World in front, every week during the school holidays, my mother takes me here to buy things, a lot of food, and makes a jar of pickles for me to bring to the dormitory." The sisters who slept with me rushed to eat the delicious food I brought back every time, and I thought that I would live a quiet and happy life like this forever, but who knows......"

She choked up, tears glistening in her eyes. Xiao Lianyou looked at her sympathetically and listened to her quietly.

"Dad was infected as soon as the meteor shower fell. Became a man-eating monster.,Mom was bitten in order to protect me.,I finally escaped.,But I found that there were monsters everywhere that went crazy like this.,I thought it would be okay to be eaten like this.,But the monster ignored himself.。 Later, I realized that I had also awakened an ability, but it was just such a useless skill. Xu Qing shook her head self-deprecatingly.

Xiao Lianyou suddenly spoke: "There are no useless skills in this world, only people who can't use it. Xu Qing, if you play this skill well, you can protect many people. Won't you be able to protect the four of you from the monsters now, and if you work hard, you might be able to protect a city in the future!"

Xu Qing was very happy, she was praised by her idol, she was so happy that she was about to fly. She secretly resolved not to let her idol down.

Xiao Lianyou naturally didn't know that her casual words had such a big effect, and she had become accustomed to encouraging children in kindergarten.

The two were chatting happily, when suddenly it was dark in front of them, and they saw Cheng Haowen standing in front of the two of them covering the firelight.

He said, "What are you talking about so happily?" said to the two, but he only looked at Xiao Lianyou.

Xu Qing looked at this, looked at that, suddenly felt that he was redundant, immediately stood up, pulled Cheng Haowen to sit down with a smile, and said: "Captain Cheng, now that electricity is very precious, I won't pull the light bulb, you talk first, I'll go." ”

After speaking, he squeezed his eyes at Xiao Lianyou, smiled and ran away.
