100.Chapter 100
Wave after wave. For a whole day, Luo Xun and the others had been repeating the crossbow-ability-crossbow shooting action. It wasn't until night that the zombies, barely able to see the tail of the team, were brought into the trench outside the fortifications, which had finally been completed......
The bright red mushroom liquid was poured into the "moat" and poured on the heads of the zombies, and the screams and screams of the zombies were heard from inside. After this round of zombies were dried up by mushroom juice, the zombies who had just fallen into the trap ushered in a ferocious gasoline fire......
Luo Xun and the others sat in their cars, away from the metal walls around them that were licked by the flames - there was no way, this time the trench trap had to surround the entire fortification, they had no fortifications to rely on other than that.
They were right in the middle of that large circle of firelight, if it weren't for Song Lingling, a water-based girl, who could help cool down, and Zhang Su, a wind-based powerhouse, who could get fresh air in. Then they will either be roasted to death or suffocated by lack of oxygen.
Li Tie and the others were reading a few novels by the light of the fire, and Xiao Xinran was lying on Xu Mei's lap, covered with a blanket, and sleeping sweetly with a few picture books in his arms.
These books were scattered in a building when they stumbled upon them on their way here. They don't know what the building was supposed to do, but it's definitely not a bookstore or newsstand or anything like that. Luo Xun and the others suspected that this was probably a warehouse or a transit center. Anyway, they found a lot of books here, although they didn't find two formal textbooks, but these books can also relieve everyone's boredom and teach Xiao Xinran to read and write.
Luo Xun's computer at home still has a lot of online novels and literature. Li Tie and they found out of nowhere to get a WIFI back, and got a sharing in the building, everyone usually uses their mobile phones to download a lot of novels to pass the time occasionally. These things can be seen by Xiao Xinran when she is older. Now...... Or these books for young people and books for learning are more suitable for her.
There was a crackling sound outside, and it was the sound of the wind and fire in the night, like a fire in the wilderness. After the night, it was scorched outside.
First climbed to the metal shelf that Yan Fei had set up and looked around, making sure that there was no trace of zombies within the range of vision, and all the zombies in the trench next to him had been completely burned to death, Luo Xun breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and climbed down: "Open the door!" Pack your things! β
This time, the harvest is still not bad, although the number of crystal nuclei is only more than seven thousand, but the second-level crystal nuclei that can't stand it account for a full half!
Now the price of the second-level crystal nucleus in the base is almost ten times that of the first-level crystal nucleus, and if they exchange the second-level crystal nucleus that they can't use for the first-level crystal nucleus, then the income this time is obviously much better than the previous two times.
A group of people gathered around the car and began to divide the spoils directly, leaving a part as the total income of the team, and the rest were distributed before discussing the rest of the matter.
"Do you want to fight a little longer? Or just go back? "This harvest is good, everyone's mood is even better, although there are a lot of second-level zombies outside, but because they have mushroom weapons - this time the mushroom juice is more than twice as much as when it came out before! Don't forget that they didn't come out last month.
Luo Xun thought for a while and looked at everyone, then looked up at the sun in the sky, and decided: "Go back." He smiled at everyone, "This time everyone's harvest is good, but it's almost noon now, if we don't want to take a blood test and enter the base when we go back, we will have to wait in the waiting area for a while." β
Indeed, although it is true that if you continue to go deeper, you can indeed hit some crystal nuclei, but the time to go back is difficult to say, if you are surrounded by zombies like before, then maybe you will toss until midnight like the previous time, and you may not be able to go back. Although they have one more day off tomorrow, it may be better to have an extra day off than to work hard outside!
After glancing at each other, everyone decided very sensibly and unanimously - go home directly!
They each began to pack their things, and Yan Fei folded and plated the metal materials he needed on their respective cars and loaded them into their cars. Where they were, there were still some trees that had been knocked down a while ago, and Luo Xun and the others easily got a few relatively intact pieces of wood and loaded them into the car, and then drove the car in the direction of the base.
The rest of the metal material was "hidden" in the circle of traps around it according to the old rules, and of course, the traps still had to be sealed and covered. Zhang Su also deliberately made a pile of broken stones and rotten wood on top of it this time, which didn't look obvious different from other ruins.
After finishing some things, the convoy was on the road again, although it was a bit far from the base, but everyone still wanted to hurry and wait until they returned to the base to have lunch, and wait to enter the city.
The result was a lot of stuff in the car -- a trail of dust, but when they got to the vicinity of a former main road, they saw another puff of smoke and dust.
"Zombies, and cars." Yan Fei put down the telescope in his hand and said in a deep voice to Luo Xun, who was driving beside him.
Luo Xun nodded slightly, his expression flashed in a trance, and then he said in a deep voice: "Drive over and act when the opportunity arises." β
A car followed closely, there were more zombies on the road than they had been yesterday, and combined with the cars that seemed to be parked there not far ahead, it was not difficult to imagine the reason - they must have been brought by these cars, or there were other cars passing by before them.
This road is one of the several main roads leading into City A, from where you can reach several other cities all the way south, and at least half of the bases that are said to have been broken at the beginning of June will go to City A!
Luo Xun: Where they are now, after the bombing, there is only one way back to the base - who left them without off-road vehicles and unable to walk those ruin-ridden paths? And although there are a lot of zombies on this road, it is nothing for a more experienced team. Luo Xun didn't use up all the weapons, ammunition, mushroom juice, and gasoline, and the things left in their car were enough to burn zombies on a large scale again, and they were only prepared to continue hunting zombies for safety and time reasons.
As they got closer, they could see what was going on - a large truck had overturned to the ground, where a group of zombies were tearing at the car and snatching out the people who were still alive. The other car was obviously blocked by the car in front of it, and some people were desperately beating the zombies with sticks, iron pipes, etc., and fleeing as they went. All the people's faces and eyes were full of despair, until they saw Luo Xun and their car!!
"Kill." Luo Xun grabbed the crossbow placed on the front panel with one hand, shook the window and pointed at the zombie who turned his head when he heard the sound in front of him.
These zombies and these two cars are completely blocking the road, and they can't avoid this place unless they turn back and find another way out. And if you want to get through here, you can only find a way to kill all these zombies.
Yan Fei was ready when Luo Xun continued to drive to the side of the car that had the accident, and the people in the cars behind him were also ready to fight at any time, and immediately launched an attack after seeing this.
A zombie dodged a crossbow arrow and jumped at the car Luo Xun was in! It jumped up to three meters high! But the zombies who were doing free fall in mid-air were facing a "gang" head-on and crashing into an iron plate! At the moment of collision, the iron plate seemed to come to life, unfolding, wrapping, twisting in mid-air, and with a snort, the zombies inside turned directly into flesh.
After eliminating the zombies outside the car, Luo Xun and the others opened the door and got out of the car, and gathered together with Li Tie and others, Xiao Xinran pointed to a place on the side of the road that quickly deserted, Zhang Su raised his hand, and even the sand with gravel and rubble, and the large and small fire balls that Xu Mei instantly turned into were kneaded together, and suddenly burst out in front of him.
When the people in the two cars saw that these people really got out of the car to help them, their eyes burst out with a strong desire to survive. A person shouted loudly: "Everyone, work hard! Hold on and persevere! "Some young and strong people, who had already thought of running away when they saw that the situation was inviolable, immediately threw themselves into the battle with all their might.
With the help of a well-armed otaku squad that has long been adapted to combat, these zombies were quickly cleaned up. It's a pity that many people in these two cars were injured before, some of them were zombies on the spot, and a few people with wounds on their bodies, sitting on the side of the road with their faces covered in despair, and there was no ** to survive at all.
Luo Xun glanced at the few people sitting on the side of the road, and turned to walk towards the remaining people who were not injured: "Where are you from?" "From the condition of their clothes and cars, it can be seen that they are definitely not the team that came out of City A to do tasks, these people's clothes are tattered, their faces are yellow and thin, and they are obviously completely different from the base in City A, where the living conditions are quite average. What makes him even more so is that these people don't even have a weapon in the real sense of the word.
Some of them had bladed blast axes pinned to their waists, and most of the rest were metal that had been removed from nowhere.
Everyone hurriedly explained: "We are from City C." β
"We're from M City."
"We are ......"
A middle-aged man in his forties explained: "There are several people from the base in our team, all of whom are ready to come to City A after the base was broken, and everyone's original means of transportation are broken before they get together......
Luo Xun nodded, pointed to the car in front of him and asked, "Your team is only these two cars?" β
The man's face became a little ugly, and the others also looked a little unwilling: "Our convoy originally had more than 20 cars, all of them gathered together on the road, even if they encountered zombies, they could find a way to resist." But when I drove here today, the car in front of me broke down, and there were a lot of zombies on the road...... Originally, if you usually encounter this situation, everyone would stop and wait for a while, find a way to eliminate the zombies, or try to save people out before leaving, but today ......"
It's not far from City A, but I didn't expect the convoy to encounter a lot of second-level zombies when it drove here, plus the southwest base of City A is said to be not far from the front, and the cars in front are unwilling to delay time, afraid that they will also be sacrificed in their cars. Although there were a lot of people in the last two cars, they were all ordinary people in these two cars, and there were no half-ability people at all, and they were originally used as cannon fodder by the people in front of them at the end of the team, so in this case, they simply left them and left.
Luo Xun understood the situation and turned his head to look at Li Tie behind him, Li Tie and the others had already packed up the dead zombies around them and dug out a small bag of crystal nuclei. Seeing Luo Xun looking at them, he hurriedly handed it over: "Sixty-four." β
Luo Xun took the bag and divided half of it and handed it to the man in his forties: "Half is yours." As he spoke, he handed over the bag to Zhang Su beside him, "The southwest base of City A is not far ahead, do you want to go back with our car or go by yourself?" β
The man was stunned for a moment, and quickly looked back at the other people who were traveling with him. The men were a little moved, and a young man suddenly asked, "Are you going anywhere else?" β
Luo Xun glanced at him a few more times, vaguely felt that he was a little familiar, shook his head and said, "Let's go back to the base directly." β
Seeing that Luo Xun and their car seemed to be carrying a lot of things, those people guessed that they should be the team that came out of City A to do the task, and after a little discussion, the man in his forties smiled and said: "It's best to go back with you, you can also see it, the people in our car ...... They are all ordinary people, and they don't have much ability to protect themselves......"
Luo Xun shook his head and smiled: "It's nothing, there are incentives in the southwest base, if you can save the survivors back, we also have rewards, so you can prepare." β
After everyone discussed, Yan Fei took a step forward, directly "pumped" out the metal on the car that had been destroyed and lost its original shape, and melted it into the periphery of the truck where these people were sitting directly, not only filling the original hole in the car, but also reinforcing the car body.
As for the rest of the materials for that car? They were dumped on the roadside wasteland.
Half of those people who were bitten by zombies were directly zombieized when everyone was talking and preparing, and no matter how much they couldn't bear to leave them in their hearts. The rest of the wounded sat in a more corner, their eyes eager but unable to offer the desire to follow the convoy. It's not that they don't want to live, it's not that they don't want to seek help from others, but in just half a year, they have seen too many people end up in the fate of zombies on the way to City A.
One of the men was clearly a ruthless character, and after his arm was bitten by a zombie, he immediately cut off his own. Just don't know if it's the wound that is contaminated? Or is the zombie virus really spreading amazingly fast? It didn't take long for him to become a zombie like the first round of zombies.
Seeing that those people had already climbed into the truck, Luo Xun suddenly pointed to the road ahead to the few people who were still sitting on the side of the road waiting to die: "Follow this road and keep going, and you will be able to see the wall of the southwest base of City A in about thirty minutes." If you haven't been zombieized yet, you can go in and get treatment as long as you check and make sure you are not infected with the zombie virus. "But if the zombies are turned into zombies, what awaits them is the guns of the defenders.
The car drove all the way in the direction of the base, and after registering at the gate, it was indicated that the people in the car behind were rescued by them halfway, and Luo Xun and they came to the waiting area after getting some more points.
Sitting in the waiting area silently waiting for the passage of time, Luo Xun silently nibbled on the vegetable dumplings prepared by Xu Mei the day before yesterday, Yan Fei, who had not spoken much, suddenly pressed his hand on the back of Luo Xun's hand: "What's wrong?" Your love for today is not right. "Something has gone wrong with his love since he entered June. It's just that it wasn't obvious before, and today this kind of expression is even more obvious after seeing those who are surrounded by zombies.
Luo Xun talked a lot more today than usualβwhen facing strangers. And most importantly, Yan Fei could feel that something was wrong with his feelings.
Luo Xun was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Yan Fei in some surprise. Did he see it? Also right...... The two have lived together for so long, just as he can clearly feel his love, if there is something wrong in his love, he is also the first to feel it.
ββ¦β¦ Let's go back and talk about it, right? Luo Xun had a trace of tiredness in his eyes, he didn't know how to explain it, how to explain it. He didn't intend to tell anyone about his rebirth from the day he was reborn, but some things have been pressed in his heart for too long, and they can really make people mentally exhausted and unbearable.
Especially at the moment when the two lives coincide.
After being reborn, Luo Xun never clearly found out which road he walked when he entered Beijing, and he didn't even know what the specific date of his entry into the base was, but he didn't remember the day when the M City base where he once lived was destroyed, but after that, he ......
Perhaps because the experience is too difficult, the human brain will subconsciously make people ignore some past memories. So Luo Xun didn't remember until he drove back today and saw the two trucks that were stuck in the middle of the road - it was here that he almost died when he escaped in his last life. Here, he lost a companion who had managed to escape from City M, and the few remaining companions he met halfway to desperately flee to the southwest base of City A.
At that time, they were unlucky to meet the team that passed by here to do a mission, and in the end, after his companions were killed one by one, he and several people stumbled and fled in a terrible way, without even having the courage to look back at their former companions.
Luo Xun knew the man in his forties today, because he, like himself, was one of the last companions to escape back to the base. After being frightened on the way to escape, Uncle Chen was the first person to decide to grow vegetables at home and find a job in the base after coming to the base. Even Luo Xun had been out of the base a few times with the rest of the team at the beginning - after all, he had also been out of the base in the former M City, and he would shoot zombies with a homemade crossbow.
But the cruel reality finally told SΓΉ Luo Xun - he was just an ordinary person, low-level, a small number of zombies were easy to handle, but high-level zombies were really not something that an ordinary person like him who had nothing could play.
After Luo Xun felt that he had returned to the base to find a job, this Uncle Chen already had some farming experience at that time, and after the two met, he was introduced to the base planting base, and Luo Xun was completely an authentic otaku in the base.
As for the others...... Although a few of the people in the truck who had just come back with the otaku squad were somewhat familiar, I forgive Luo Xun for not remembering them now...... Wait a minute!
Luo Xun's eyes suddenly lit up, and the way he raised his head violently made Yan Fei raise his eyebrows in surprise: "What?" What's uncomfortable? As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched his forehead.
"Uh...... No, it's okay......" Luo Xun suddenly lowered his head with a red face, and obediently let Yan Fei's hand fall on top of his head.
He only then remembered why he had just thought that the young man in his twenties who had interjected earlier looked familiar...... He still remembers that on the way to City A, he had a friend who came. Although the two had made an appointment to live together if they were not accompanied by each other after coming to the base, the two of them did not know each other for too long.
That person's appearance was so ordinary that he couldn't see it in the crowd, and he was also a very ordinary person, so a few years after that person's death, Luo Xun had already gradually faded his impression of that person's appearance, and only remembered what the two had said. So, although I see it again today, it's just "familiar".
Yan Fei raised his eyebrows on one side in a slightly surprised way, he could feel that Luo Xun seemed to be a little weak now, but had he done anything that should be weak? And even when he asked him just now that something was wrong with his love today, he didn't show this kind of feeling. What it looks like now...... It was as if he suddenly remembered something bad he had done before.
Yan Fei, who suppressed the doubts in his heart and was about to go back to communicate with Luo Xun in a "good" manner, didn't say anything more, just calmly took him in his arms and waited for the loss of time together.
If it had been placed a month or two ago, Yan Fei's intimate actions would have attracted the attention of others, but now...... The pure men in the base have gradually accepted the tragic prospect of "no daughter-in-law and friends to make up", so no one pays attention to these two dog men who are clearly a pair and show affection in public. On the contrary, Luo Xun and their otaku team still have two girls, so they can't help but attract the people next to them to glance here from time to time.
Fortunately, Xu Mei and Song Lingling are both very careful, since the accident, they are now dressed very neutral when they go out, and even Song Lingling cut off one of her long hairs ruthlessly, and when they usually go out, they are even more neutral, how to dress up, how to dress up inconspicuous, and how to cover as many things as they can on their faces.
