Chapter 21: The Lady with a Light Sigh (57)
"Is it a young-looking man, and dressed a little out of place for your time?" For me, this is undoubtedly the best news I have ever heard since I came to this apocalyptic world hundreds of thousands of years ago.
If I'm not mistaken, the young man who can fly in the sky that Shen Lin said in his mouth will not only definitely not be a person from this world, but also very likely a person I know well, yes, that person. Because I really can't imagine anyone other than that person I know who could fly freely in the sky. And this person is known as the most powerful person in the world with magical talent, Viren.
I'm sure that the person Shen Lin said is definitely Vilen. However, one thing that surprised me was that even before, Viren hadn't used flying for a long time. During the dozens of days I was still in the cave, I used to specifically explore whether the ecological environment of this world hundreds of thousands of years ago was similar to the world we had hundreds of thousands of years later. Fortunately, the world we live in hasn't changed much, at least in the meantime. Perhaps that's why Viren is still able to use magical energy.
"Yes? I, I don't seem to know. Shen Lin was taken aback by my sudden excitement, but she quickly knew that the young man I asked must have something to do with me, so after thinking for a while, she quickly added: "By the way, that young man stopped to look at me when he flew over my head, and then I saw him smile at me." In addition, the clothes he was wearing were those worn by the base in Tiandu City, hundreds of kilometers away. But there's one thing I don't understand. ”
"I don't understand?" I know, that's where the point comes in. Perhaps Shen Lin's next words will determine whether I will be able to find Viren in the future, and then decide whether I can return to our era through Viren. "Did you notice something wrong with that young man? ”
Shen Lin nodded lightly: "I think there is not just one unbelievable place, but there are many more, I want to think of a few key points to say, I don't know if these clues can help you." Although, I don't really want to help you in my heart, maybe if I help you, you will leave. ”
I patted Shen Lin on the shoulder and comforted, "Don't worry, Shen Lin, I said that if I can let you settle down, I will definitely let you settle down." Don't say anything that doesn't die, understand?"
Shen Lin smiled helplessly: "Madam, I understand your words." But for now, I've decided that I'll end my life when you return. Also, I thought about what was wrong with the young man. First of all, there was something wrong with him, he was the first person I had seen in more than thirty years who could fly, and from what I know about our history, I have never recorded anyone who could fly. But you're an elf, no, no, you're an undead, and you're from hundreds of thousands of years later, so I think this mysterious young man should be from the future like you. Also, I think one thing is a little different. Because, in the post-apocalyptic era, after the survivors have experienced a series of disasters, most of the survivors choose to unite together, even if they act alone, when they meet other survivors, they will often exchange materials that are extremely scarce for each other, and then form a team or part ways again according to the situation. But something was wrong with this young man, and although I was a little frightened to see him flying in the sky at the time and didn't say hello to him, he just smiled coldly at me and turned away. This is even the same as the character of the bad guys in the early days of the disaster. In the end, I read a lot of emotions in the eyes of this young man, some silent, some anxious, and some sad. But no matter what it is, I don't see the slightest positive emotion in it. In the end, he was obviously wearing the clothes of the Tiandu refugee camp, but he was flying in a completely different direction from Tiandu. If this young man is your friend, then you should be careful, his situation does not look very good right now. ”
I see, I nodded. Maybe Viren has experienced a lot more things than I have, and has seen more, so he naturally becomes indifferent. Alas, no matter what, I still hope that he will be well.
At this time, Shen Lin suddenly asked, "You, are you going to leave now?"
I laughed dumbly and replied directly, "I don't know where he is now, how do I want to leave." But that's how I planned to go. ”
Shen Lin's eyes dimmed in an instant. "Looks like I'm going to be ready for the rest of my life now," he muttered. ”
"You woman. Shen Lin's words made me a little crying and laughing, so I had to comfort: "I said that you are a woman, if I were to leave, I would have left a long time ago, how could I have waited until now? My eyes have been healed for a while, you know? I went out this time to find you a good meal! Didn't I run away! You know? I said that when I recover, I will find the food, have you forgotten?"
Shen Lin nodded with some concern and asked, "Are you sure you won't leave at this time?"
I nodded and promised, "Trust me, I won't leave like this." I'm not a woman who breaks my word, and as soon as I find food, I'll be back. ”
Shen Lin looked at me seriously, nodded as well, and then walked past me, came to the entrance of the cave, opened the secret door and said to me, "Okay, I believe in you." It's morning, and if you don't come back by the time the sun goes down, then I'll die in this cave. ”
Alas, this woman. What should I say to her? I didn't answer again, but followed the entrance of this cave to the outside world, and after stepping on the outside land, I hesitated for a moment, but still said to Shen Lin: "Don't worry, within the time you specified, I will definitely come back, and I will definitely not break my word." You have to believe in an undead spirit. The undead have no heart to lie. Then, watching Shen Lin remove the wooden stick that supported the secret door at the entrance of the cave, I took the first step to become familiar with this world.
This world is really a doomsday world, and I just officially set foot in this world for only ten minutes, and I officially met the zombies that Shen Lin talked about. I have to say that these zombies are even more disgusting compared to those apostles. Although, I can see from the bodies of these zombies that the parts that still belong to humans, such as the body, at least more than 90% of the body is still consistent with the human body. Of course, there are differences, such as nails becoming sharper, moving slower, brains becoming dumber, changing from omnivores to carnivores, and looking uglier and uglier.
It's really hard to imagine that these things will later become the new human beings who will replace the humans of this era, and occupy the leadership position of this continent for hundreds of thousands of years. It seems that life is constantly evolving.
This is a group of small-scale zombies of about 100 people, well, if these weak things were placed in our time, it is estimated that they will be the sweets in the eyes of the rookie adventurer team. What? They are able to use their own blood to mutate their victims into new zombies? Please, is this scary? This is not scary at all, is it?
Still, I'd like to test the damage of these zombies, maybe they have a lot of things I haven't noticed.
With the idea of giving it a try, I summoned two skeletons. Well, how could the size of humans in this era be so small, and these two little skeletons actually only reached the position of my shoulder. And for some reason, the two little skeletons did not hold any weapons in their hands, but with their bare hands. What does this mean? Is it so rare for people in this age to even have a sword that can barely be seen in the past?
I tried a few more times, and summoned a team of about ten or so skeleton soldiers. But I was a little disappointed with the results. Not only did each of the skeletons I summoned no different in size from the previous two, but they also had no weapons in their hands.
Suddenly, a sense of frustration rose from my heart. These dozen skeletons are probably the weakest skeletons I've summoned since I became an undead. However, there is no way, I can't go to other places to find a weapon for these little skeletons to take advantage of, right? In desperation, I had no choice but to urge these dozen little skeletons to "rush" towards the poor zombies who were slow on the opposite side. Well, the speed of these dozen or so little skeletons is also pitifully slow.
After I waited patiently for a full two minutes, a dozen skeletons finally came into contact with this wave of zombies. However, when they just collided, the situation was a little incomprehensible to me. Hesitating, these dozen or so little skeletons directly obeyed my orders, so after my order to annihilate these zombies was given, although they were slow, unarmed, and looked weak, these dozen or so little skeletons finally attacked those zombies.
With no weapons, they can only use their two bone claws as weapons. In this process, they also wanted to bite with their own teeth, but what made me feel very embarrassed was that when a small skeleton tried to bite a zombie's arm with his teeth, he hesitated that his physique was too fragile, so his head was actually broken by himself, becoming the first "dead" person in this zombie and skeleton soldier battle. Hehe, it's an exaggeration to say that they died in battle, after all, they are dead things in that sense.
However, what really surprised me was yet to come. Although these dozen or so little skeletons had no attack power at all, under the persistent attacks, there were still about five or six zombies who were finally smashed in the head by the little skeletons with their bone claws. And what about the zombies? They're just weird. Because except for those zombies who are attacked by the little skeleton and will fight back because of instinct, the other zombies are all blind to the little skeleton, and they are still moving aimlessly towards their predetermined goals.
Huh? This is strange, why didn't these zombies fight back? Looking at the zombies that were getting closer and closer to me, I made a bold decision to take the initiative to approach these zombies. Actually, it's bold, but it's not really there. Because now I've more or less guessed a little bit of why these zombies didn't attack the little skeletons, and if my reasoning is correct, then these zombies won't attack me either. Besides, even if these zombies attack me suddenly, they won't hurt me at all. Can they break through my defenses? Can they keep up with my speed? The answer, of course, is impossible. So, without any hesitation, I slowly approached them.
As I expected, sure enough, when I approached these zombies, the zombies ignored me just as much as they did to the little skeletons. And at this time, under the unremitting attack of the little skeletons, there were already twenty or thirty zombies buried under their "claws". And here I also saw a weakness about the zombies that Shen Lin didn't have time to tell me, that is, compared to other methods, directly chopping up the heads of these zombies can make them die.
Alas, it's really not interesting. After knowing these things about zombies, I was very puzzled why these zombies were able to replace humans in this era. Logically speaking, human beings in this era who have embarked on a completely different path from magic should not be so vulnerable, right? Why did they become so vulnerable in front of such a weak zombie, and even withdrew from the stage where they had ruled for tens of thousands of years?
However, it was at this time that I felt a hint of danger. And such danger has always been my instinct. That is to say, there is a powerful being that is pressing towards my position, and this existence is certainly not Viren.
Interestingly, I smiled and walked towards the being.
