34. Alchemy
"There will be a break ahead. Uncle Zhou, take care of Dr. Qi, Xiao Yu and I will go around and have a look. ”
The old housekeeper nodded, and watched Shen Jin and Shen Yu leave before entering the earthen cultivation room with Qi Rui and Chu Yan that Shen Jin had signaled just now. Now that the two young masters are gone, he is the one with the highest force value, and he has to protect the safety of Qi Rui and Chu Yan.
Fortunately, after more than two months on the road, several people have also developed a little tacit understanding, and the old housekeeper went outside the door after checking that there were no safety hazards in the house. Chu Yan and Qi Rui were busy cleaning up the house and cooking inside.
After Qi Rui and Chu Yan cleaned up and steamed the meal, they took out the textbooks in the car.
Chu Yan was only nine years old and came to the end of the world, and Chu Wei was not good to Chu Yan before the end of the world, so Chu Yan only learned a little knowledge. Shen Yu felt that Qi Rui was idle along the way anyway, so it was better to find something to do for Qi Rui, so when he was passing by a town, he and Shen Jin bought some teaching materials at school for Qi Rui, so that Qi Rui could teach Chu Yan that child in his spare time along the way.
Qi Rui has devoted himself to research all his life, and he is in his forties and has no children. Seeing Chu Yan so sensible and brave, I originally liked it. And there is no condition to be real for him along the way, he is obviously a character who eats and drinks for nothing in the team, and even Chu Yan can occasionally kill zombies. In contrast, Qi Rui felt that he was superfluous more than once.
Now it's okay, Shen Yu asked Qi Rui to teach Chu Yan knowledge. Qi Rui seemed to have found the backbone, and he was very concerned about this matter, plus Qi Rui originally favored Chu Yan, and he did his best when teaching knowledge. No one expected that such an accident would teach Qi Ruisheng the youngest "ghost talent" in the scientific community who was famous in later generations.
Chu Yan followed Qi Rui all the way to study, although his previous knowledge and opinions were very narrow, but he couldn't bear that Qi Rui was a "ghost talent", and Chu Yan himself was also smart and diligent. Gradually, he kept up with Qi Rui's ideas and insights.
When Shen Yu and Shen Jin came back from cleaning up the zombies around them, they saw that the topic of "whether the zombies will evolve and regain their perception when they were human beings" was discussed strictly. Xiao Chuyan's face collapsed tightly in Qi Rui's explanation, obviously disagreeing with Qi Rui's statement that zombies are already dead people, and there will be no fairy tales of resurrection. But frowning and not knowing how to refute him as a teacher.
"How's it going today?" Shen Yu stepped forward, touched Chu Yan's head and asked with a chuckle.
"I think zombies can re-perceive the world through guò evolution. You see, now the zombies we encounter are more powerful than the other, and the zombies didn't know how to run at the beginning, but now the second-level mutant zombies can jump and make simple judgments. Who knows if the zombies in the future will break through the shackles of the mutilated body and re-perceive the world when the ultimate change occurs? Looking at Shen Yu standing beside him, Xiao Chuyan said his opinion in one go.
Shen Yu's chuckle on the corner of his mouth couldn't be maintained a little when he heard this, and his brows furrowed. When he died in his previous life, he heard that there was a level 7 mutant zombie. That attack on the base was nothing short of a devastating blow. The more advanced the zombie ability, the stronger the ability, the zombie below the fifth level is not obvious, once the hurdle is crossed, the ability is more and more indistinguishable.
Zombies of level 6 and above can command zombies of lower level than themselves to obey their orders. And from level 6 onwards, the zombies' intelligence has significantly improved.
Before he died in his previous life, he seemed to have heard that the level 7 zombie called on the zombie army to break through a medium-sized base with a population of hundreds of thousands in the south. After that, Shen Yu said that it was unknown.
Qi Rui looked at the puffed Chu Yan and didn't refute it, but just said to Shen Yu, "Xiao Yan's courses can keep up, and I also took the time to popularize the knowledge of the biological gene chain for him, Xiao Yan is very smart and has unique insights." ”
"Really? Xiaoyan is so smart? Hearing this, Shen Yu didn't worry about the zombies anymore, and touched Chu Yan's brain again and asked with a little surprise.
Chu Yan straightened his small chest, a little proud.
"Proud now? Can you do a real yàn independently? ”
Chu Yan was a little discouraged, is he still a child! It's only been more than 2 months since I studied with Uncle Qi, okay?! Uncle blackface is the most annoying!
Shen Yu looked at Shen Jin funny, his brother always likes to tease Chu Yan.
"Xiaoyan is still small, and it will definitely be able to do it in the future. In the future, Brother Yu and other Xiao Yan and Dr. Qi will work together to study the thinner of zombies, okay? ”
"Yes! Xiaoyan will study hard! Chu Yan glared at the black-faced uncle Shen Jin, and nodded obediently along with Shen Yu's words.
In a word, it is a proverb. No one could have imagined that Shen Yu's words that he just comforted Chu Yan would really become true in the future.
"Okay, in order to reward the little scientists in the future, Brother Yu will make you a good meal today?"
"Can I eat Gong Bang Rabbit Ding? And roasted eggplant! Chu Yan's eyes lit up.
"Yes, you and Uncle Qi are studying for a while, and Brother Yu will do it for you." Shen Yu chuckled, and didn't shy away from the room, so he took out the ingredients from the space in the house.
The matter of space was gradually revealed to Qi Rui after about half a month after following Qi Rui on the road. It's just that the awakened spatial ability, although Qi Rui is curious, he has also seen Shen Jin's thunder and lightning ability, and he is not so surprised at the moment.
Chu Yan's healing ability was still hidden from Qi Rui, and Shen Yu subconsciously didn't want to tell Qi Rui about it. The healing system was really too rare, and he really didn't want to take this risk.
Although Chu Yan was learning knowledge with Qi Rui, he was obedient to Shen Yu's words. Except for the time when the cat warms up and groomes the black-faced uncle on the black-faced uncle every day!
After a while, Shen Yu and the old housekeeper made all the meals. Called Shen Jin, who was guarding outside the door, and several people sat on the wooden table in the earthen cultivation room to solve lunch.
After lunch, Shen Jin took out the map, pointed to City C and where they are now, and said, "At our speed, I'm afraid it will take more than a month to reach City C." After this village, you should be able to get to X Town in a few days, and now the zombies have evolved very quickly, and we have also encountered a lot of second-level mutant zombies along the way. Cities and towns are population centers, and the more zombies there are, the larger the base of mutations. ”
"You mean, I'm afraid there will be a level 3 mutation here?" Shen Yu was a little surprised, this can't be, right?!
"Just conjecture. I'm only about to reach the peak of the second pole now, and if I encounter a level 3 mutation......"
Shen Jin's words were not finished, but Shen Yu understood. Killing zombies by leaping the level is not a simple matter. The second-level zombies that were killed at the police station, Shen Yu now thinks that they are really lucky.
Seeing that the people at the table were a little low because of their conjectures, Shen Jin cleared his throat, "Not really, my ability is thunder and lightning, and it seems to have the function of restraining zombies." Even if there really is a third-level zombie, it is not impossible to kill it. ”
Qi Rui is a complete ordinary person, even if his brain awakens, he is not anywhere else, but he has improved his professional knowledge again. Therefore, he didn't have a general understanding of the zombie advancement, but he knew very well that even a strong person like Shen Jin was afraid of a third-level zombie, which must be terrifying.
The old butler understood the horror of the third-level zombies better than Qi Rui. He is now being raised by Chu Yanwen every day, and he can smash the head of a first-level zombie with a stick. But second-level zombies, that's incomprehensible.
Chu Yan and Qi Rui were in a similar situation, except for awakening the healing ability, he was just a child. Seeing that the black-faced uncle who usually likes to come out to make trouble when he is close to Brother Yu is worried, Chu Yan's heart is not very comfortable. He clenched his little fist and secretly decided to double the amount of time he spent on recuperating and grooming his abilities for Uncle Blackface from today!
"Don't be bitter, go to sleep. Old and young, do you still need to worry about these things? Don't worry, it's so difficult, we've all come over, how can we overturn the boat in the gutter of X County. ”
knew that Shen Yu was comforting them, but they were not ignorant people. Originally, the main force in the team was worried, and they couldn't find the main thugs unhappy anymore. Then they broke up and went to rest.
When everyone dispersed, Shen Jin looked at Shen Yu, "Xiao Yu, don't worry, I'm here." ”
Shen Yu nodded, and stopped thinking about the affairs of the town. After all, this is just their conjecture, how can a third-level zombie be so easy to have.
After resting for the night, everyone hurried off again. It's been almost three months since the end of the world broke out, and the supernatural ones are gradually appearing on the stage of this world. Coming out of the small village, I saw a lot of teams along the way, and there were more or less one or two supernatural people in the team.
Four days later, the group drove to the town of X.
"There's something weird about the town." Shen Jin got out of the car and looked at the town in front of him, which was full of zombies and had no human activity, and said hesitantly. "Even if it's getting dark now, it shouldn't be so deserted, right? We saw a lot of people when we came over. ”
Shen Yu followed and got out of the car, and frowned when he looked at the zombies that were staggering towards them.
Isn't it true that the whole town has turned into zombies?!
Just when they were in doubt, a young man came running in a panic on the side of the path next to the entrance of the town.
"Guys over there, let's go, mourning...... The zombies are catching up. Run, run, run! The young man who ran out of the trail obviously didn't expect that someone was going to enter the town so late, so he hesitated and kept running this way, shouting at Shen Yu and them as he ran, wanting Shen Yu and them to leave here.
"Quick...... Whew...... Come on! Why are you stupid? The young man ran in front of Shen Yu and them almost instantly, scolding Shen Yu who didn't run while bending over and panting roughly. Seeing that Shen Yu and Shen Jin still looked at him without speaking, he cursed secretly, threw a water balloon at the zombies chasing behind him, and continued to run forward. "I can remind you, don't look for me if you don't run away!"
Looking at the zombies chasing over here, Shen Jin pulled Shen Yu into the car and drove backwards. After a while, they caught up with the teenager who had just reminded them.
"Get in the car!" Shen Yu leaned closer to Shen Jin, opened the door of the co-pilot and shouted to the breathless young man.
The boy was stunned, then reached out and grabbed the car door and ran in.
"Thanks, buddy. I...... Huhu, my name is alchemy, thanks to you today, otherwise Huhu, or I will run to death. The young man took a breath, arrogantly occupied Shen Yu's passenger seat, condensed a small water ball in his hand with his ability, and drank water with both hands.
Shen Yu, who was squeezed and could only lean towards Shen Jin, was a little speechless, this guy was so rude!
Shen Jin was driving, and Shen Yu couldn't take a good look at the front, so he had to reach out and hold Shen Yu in his arms. At this time, Shen Yu, who was forced to sit on Shen Jin's lap, really wanted to kick the young man who was still snorting and panting in the passenger seat!
