84.Chapter 84
The construction of the wall began again, and the four men were tasked with keeping the four Adepts safe, and the rest of the men confirmed that there was nothing else to do before they each picked up their weapons and fired under the walls. After a night and an afternoon of gathering, a large group of zombies gathered under the city wall, and at first glance there seemed to be at least two or three hundred.
Luo Xun quietly took out his special crossbow and arrows last night while others were shooting, and took the opportunity to shoot a crossbow in the attack of others.
Squinted and stared down for a long time, until Yan Fei touched him lightly, he came back to his senses: "How is it?" ā
"Uh...... The wound is being pressed underneath, I'll try again......"
The distance between the top of the city wall and the bottom is indeed a bit far, especially after those zombies are shot, the wounds are often pressed and blocked by themselves or their companions, even if they are not pressed, what is in the wounds of the injured zombies is not clear for a while.
What makes Luo Xun slander the most is that the zombies' bodies are already rotten here and broken there, even if the poisonous mushrooms can corrode their bodies, they can't be seen at all in those large and small scars!!
Yan Fei saw that he wanted to continue shooting zombies, and hurriedly reminded: "Don't shoot at the head, try somewhere else." "Luo Xun's crossbow is so accurate, so accurate that every time it goes straight in the direction of the crystal nucleus, even if the juice of those mushrooms can't corrode the body of the zombie, he can put it down at once. But now is not the time to shoot zombies, but the time to shoot mushroom juice!
Luo Xun suddenly realized, and quickly adjusted the direction of the crossbow and shot at the shoulder of a zombie at once, at first he couldn't see anything, even if the zombie was shot in the shoulder, he still raised his arm straight and continued to wave its claws, as if Luo Xun had just shot everything. However, after about twenty or thirty seconds, the arm that was waving upwards "clicked...... It broke.
Luo Xun blinked, pointed to the zombie below who was missing an arm, and asked uncertainly, "That arm...... Is it because of mushrooms? Or is it not sturdy in the first place? ā
Where can Yan Fei distinguish clearly? He didn't know if the zombie's arm was really boring? So I can only continue to build yƬ: "You try it somewhere else." ā
So that zombie can be regarded as having fallen into blood mold for eight lifetimes, and after Luo Xun broke one arm, the other was not saved, and then its two legs, waist, and finally even its head fell off, which completely consumed the few crossbow arrows that Luo Xun prepared last night.
"It seems to have a real effect, but the effect is a little slower." Luo Xun touched his chin and nodded vigorously, if this thing wants to corrode the body of the zombie, it must have a time effect, right? It's just that I have to wait so long every time to get an effect, and it doesn't feel so powerful.
Yan Fei shook his head with a smile and said in a low voice, "I'll try." As he spoke, he took out a tightly metal-wrapped hollow bullet from his pocket that he had filled with mushroom juice last night while no one was noticing, and shot it at the top of the head of a zombie beneath the city walls.
The metal bullet easily penetrated the top of the zombie's head, and then exploded in its head under Yan Fei's control! Soon, the "slow speed" that Luo Xun complained about before no longer existed under the attack of this bullet! As far as the two of them could see, the wound on the zombie's head gradually spread and became larger, and it didn't take long for the zombie to lose half of its head!
But because the position of the bullet is still some distance from the location of the crystal nucleus, the zombie body that has not lost the crystal nucleus control can still move, so from above, how can the zombie with half of its brain missing still continue to act.
Yan Fei was very satisfied with this, although the zombie was missing half of its head, all the liquid that flowed out of the exposed wound was the same color as the pus flowing from other parts of its body, and the bright red liquid color extracted from the mushroom was completely indistinguishable, which would not attract the attention of others.
Even the people who were shooting down nearby didn't notice the strange appearance of the zombie - if only there wasn't even a faint mist.
Today's real yĆ n is very successful, which proves that the previous prediction of the two is accurate, and can also allow Yan Fei to make further attempts after he returns. At this moment, the troops in charge of cleaning up the zombies came from the other direction and began to clean up the zombies blocking the city walls.
The zombies that were killed by Luo Xunshi and had their brains opened by Yan Fei were finally mixed with other zombie corpses and taken away, and they didn't attract the attention of others when they were burned. Just as Luo Xun complained before and Yan Fei observed before, the wounds and corruption caused by the mushroom juice did not look any different from the rotting wounds of the zombies themselves, even if they were dissected and incinerated, they would be found to have crossbows, arrows, and metal in their bodies...... But that's not good, is it? It is normal for the catapult to stay near the corrupted wounds after being ejected into their bodies, and no one would be genius enough to guess that the ** wounds of these zombies were caused by these things.
Luo Xun and the two came to the conclusion they wanted, and after returning home from a long day's work, their good impression of the mushroom wooden doors in the nursery room naturally went to a higher level.
"We can take this ammunition with us next time we go out...... Is it easy to put the juice of mushrooms in a crossbow and arrow? Luo Xun checked the mushroom wood in the nursery - sure enough! When they are put back, they grow poisonous mushrooms much faster with the company of other plants! The little quails hatched at home today are all normal!!
"It's not difficult, but I have to study how to make the bullet explode automatically after being shot into the corpse, otherwise you can only use the previous soaking method to process the crossbow arrow, which is too wasteful of time and the effect is not good." Yan Fei has been thinking about this question today.
"Do you want to refer to the real sub|bomb? Won't those bombs explode on their own when they enter the target's body? Luo Xun hurriedly said.
"The reason why those bullets explode after hitting the target is because there is gunpowder in them." Yan Fei explained with a smile, "I want to make the kind that will explode on its own once it hits, even if there is no gunpowder and only rely on the impact...... Anyway, we still have time, and I want to find a way to do it these days. ā
Luo Xun pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "Actually, you just need to make the crossbow arrow not so strong, or a certain part of it is not so strong, and it will crack after being blocked by a certain force?" We don't need to let the crossbow and arrows explode inside the target like real bullets, but as long as they can crack and let the mushroom juice flow out, we can achieve a similar effect. ā
Yan Fei's eyes lit up: "That's right, but you still have to calculate what kind of strength and how far away the target will have this effect after shooting, and it can't be broken at the first touch, so it will be dangerous to carry......"
The two of them once again devoted themselves to the discussion of a new type of crossbow and arrow. Yan Fei had made all of these crossbow arrows solid in order to make more powerful crossbows and arrows, and now he also needs to refer to the bullet structure contained in his own pistol to study this kind of hollow bullet.
But they don't have much to do right now anyway, as long as they have the results before the end of the month and make a batch of ammunition in advance.
Luo Xun used some of the mushroom juice left over from yesterday's real yĆ n to make other real yĆ n when Yan Fei began to try to make suitable ammunition - see what this thing can corrupt?
After a night of tossing, Yan Fei found out the appropriate thickness of the ammunition, and prepared to wait for the mushrooms to be mass-produced before loading them. Luo Xun, on the other hand, roughly tried the range of things that mushroom juice could corrupt.
In general, metal, glass, and rubber don't react to it, but wood, cloth, and all kinds of food in the house, including bones, can't contaminate it. Although Luo Xun had strong doubts about why wood could not touch this thing, but this kind of thing grew out of wood, for now, as long as the sap of this thing did not come into direct contact with such things.
In addition to this, he confirmed another very important message: "The crystal nucleus will not react to this thing, and a large amount of water will completely wash this thing away." "So, if one day they accidentally touch the juice of this thing, they can rinse it off immediately with plenty of clean water and it will have no other effect.
Yan Fei nodded and took a crystal nucleus that Luo Xun used to make the real yĆ n, there was nothing on the crystal nucleus, and he couldn't see that Luo Xun had gotten the mushroom juice on it before, so he could safely attack the zombies with this kind of ammunition, without worrying that even the crystal nucleus would be dissolved after killing the zombies.
"The new crossbow arrows have been tried, and when the mushrooms are planted, they will be able to make that kind of crossbow arrows." Yan Fei smiled and said to Luo Xun, "In addition, I have decided to try to use those two metal second-level crystal nuclei tomorrow. ā
"Almost?!" Luo Xun looked at him excitedly.
Yan Fei nodded: "Plus the crystal nucleus that will be given to me when I go to the city wall tomorrow, tomorrow night I will consume all the crystal nuclei stored at home, and I should be able to use those two second-level crystal nuclei." He wasn't sure what would happen after using those two second-order crystal nuclei, so he endured it and decided to try it tomorrow night after making sure that the number of crystal nuclei in his hand was enough and that he would still have a certain amount of wealth after using them.
He was afraid that if he used up the second-level crystal nucleus and would really "upgrade", what if he needed more crystal nuclei to replenish the consumption of spiritual power after upgrading? At that time, if there is no crystal nucleus in the hand at all, I am afraid that there will be a big problem.
While the two were talking, Li Tie and they also came back, Luo Xun and the two hurriedly greeted them, Li Tie and they complained to them after seeing Luo Xun: "Today we told us that there is an earth type ability who is willing to leave the base, but the reward for going out is half of all the crystal nuclei harvested by the team - half of all the crystal nuclei hit, even the crystal nuclei that need to be handed in!" And after that, he is not responsible for the mission crystal nucleus. As soon as we heard it, we refused. ā
Han Li said angrily, "Who is this?" If a team of people goes out and only fights a total of 200 crystal nuclei, he directly takes 100, and everyone has to hand over 100 crystal nuclei to the base, doesn't it mean that he goes out for nothing to help him fight crystal nuclei? It's too beautiful to think about! ā
Wang Duo also sneered disdainfully on the side: "It's not such a good thing to dream, they should honestly build walls inside the base." I've heard that the daily subsidy for the earth powerhouse is only about a dozen, and a hundred crystal nuclei is enough for him to work for several days. ā
Luo Xun and Yan Fei couldn't help laughing when they heard this request, and the two of them only had the strength to shake their heads, they couldn't afford to cooperate with this kind of lion's open-mouthed attitude.
Everyone was talking and laughing, when they suddenly heard hurried footsteps in the corridor, and someone climbed up to the downstairs floor out of breath without stopping, and continued to climb upstairs.
From the voices of the people who went upstairs, it could be heard that it was a woman's voice who went upstairs, and it seemed to be Xu Mei and Song Lingling on the fifteenth floor, but the two of them seemed to have encountered something.
Everyone looked at each other, and instead of rushing back to their respective rooms, they all waited at the door of the stairs.
Sure enough, the two figures hurriedly ran up in the dark, and when they saw that there was a light in the corridor on the sixteenth floor, Luo Xun and all of them were there, Xu Mei and the others ran up with joy on their faces.
"What's the matter?! The blood of this body! He Qiankun, who was closest to the stairs, gasped and hurriedly opened the door for them.
"Li Tie, can you lend us some medicine cloth? There are also wound medicines and antipyretics, which we exchange for crystal nuclei! As Xu Mei spoke, everyone saw that she was holding a child in her arms, a child covered in blood and could only be vaguely seen from the size of a child less than ten years old, who seemed to be a girl.
"Yes, yes!" Li Tie was not in a hurry to say anything, and hurriedly opened the door of his house to let the two women in.
Yan Fei walked at the end and directly sealed the gate with his ability, and after seeing the bloodstains on the stairs, he thought about it and opened it again, and whispered to Han Li on the side: "Get some water, wash the bloodstains on the stairs." ā
Han Li came back to his senses and pulled Wang Duo and the two of them next to him into getting water.
The group all followed the room, Zhang Su frowned and looked at the wounds on Xu Mei and the little girl who had washed the blood on her face and said coldly: "How long will it take to heal such a long wound if you bandage it casually?" ā
The mocking voice made Xu Mei and Song Lingling stunned, and subconsciously looked up at him.
Zhang Su said to Wang Duo, who came back from washing the floor beside him, with a bloody face: "Bring the medical kit in my bag." ā
Professionals are different, Zhang Su took out his own special tools to detoxify the wounds on Xu Mei and the girl, and directly took the medical needle and thread to open the stitches, because there was no anesthetic, and everyone brushed and shivered with the needle - more powerful than the trembling of Xu Mei and the girl concerned.
After brushing and brushing a few stitches, Zhang Su cut the medical thread and bandaged the wound, only to raise his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his lips hooked up a bewildering smile: "If you don't move, you can remove the stitches in a few days, and the child may not even be able to leave a scar." After speaking, he glanced at Xu Mei, "Are you...... Look at the healing. ā
Xu Mei, who was regarded as an old woman with poor recovery ability, was just speechless for a moment, and had no intention of arguing with the queen's angry perverted doctor about the speed of her skin's recovery.
At this time, Yan Fei opened his mouth and asked, "What's the matter?" ā
Zhang Su raised his eyebrows and laughed while holding the medical kit: "Don't let her snatch other people's children, right?" ā
Song Lingling's face twitched, although she was not hit, it was not far away.
Xu Mei took a deep breath before explaining, "I met me today...... Ex-boyfriend, you've met. ā
Everyone was silent in their hearts, knowing that it was the man who left her and ran away.
"He was selling this girl when I met him, and he was negotiating a price with a bunch of sneaky guys. I have a grudge against him, so I saw it and fought directly, those who wanted to buy people saw us fight and ran away with the child, we didn't have time to care about them at first, but on the way back after we beat Song Lingling heard a child crying in an alley, and when we went over, we saw those people bleeding the child, so we ...... Snatched it back. ā
As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at several people with some horror: "I don't know what they are going to do, but what was it like at the time...... They also used the child's blood to draw pictures on the ground and put them in the bowl, and it was not normal to look at it...... "If those people were just buying a child, the two of them would not have studied anything after they didn't have time to take care of it, after all, if even the child's parents don't want her in this world now, it is better for others to buy and give her a bite to eat than to starve to death, but what they encountered today is really abnormal."
Song Lingling also explained: "I also heard them say that they want to drink this child's blood!" ā
It is not difficult for two women with special abilities to deal with Xu Mei's ex-scumbag boyfriend, after all, those people are just like Zhang Su's ex-scumbag boyfriend and scumbag teammates, all of whom are ordinary people. For the two women who have long been accustomed to fighting, it is easier to sneak attack and kill them in the dark than to cut zombies.
But the question is later.
"Where did you get your blood?" Luo Xun asked suspiciously, shouldn't it have been injured when she was desperate with her ex-boyfriend, she and Song Lingling have a fire system and a water system, how could they be so seriously injured when dealing with those people?
"It's the ones who bought the kids!" Song Lingling stood up a little excitedly, "Two of them are very good, Sister Xu was injured by them as soon as she came up, if they hadn't caught us alive, I'm afraid we would have ...... it now?" At that time, the strange scene they saw in that small alley covered with blood on the ground felt abnormal no matter how they looked at it.
To be honest, if they encounter hooligans, it doesn't matter, although that kind of thing is unbearable, after all, they have experienced similar situations before, and after encountering them, they can quickly calm down, and maybe they can take the opportunity to kill those people. But at that time, I saw strange patterns drawn with blood on the ground, and the blood of children that came out of the bowls...... The two of them had no doubt that if the two of them were caught by those people, they would probably encounter the same treatment!
"Why are those people letting people bleed??" Wu Xin's words made Li Tie and the others all look at each other.
Zhang Su also raised his eyebrows suspiciously, he knew that both inside and outside the base there was a matter of eating people if there was really no food. He understands that he can bleed before eating people, but before eating people, he first draws a picture with other people's blood...... Is this a special custom of cannibals in any country?
However, Luo Xun suddenly spoke: "They don't think that they can have abilities even if they drink the blood of the supernatural and eat the flesh of the supernatural, right?" "It's like the monsters in Journey to the West always want to eat Tang monk's meat.
His words succeeded in silence everyone in the entire room, and everyone stared at him with wide eyes one by one, making Luo Xun involuntarily take a half step back. He stiffly smiled and spread his hands: "Or can they be guilty of sincere bloodletting?" I also deliberately drew a picture. Of course, there may also be people who deliberately spread cults or something, and by the way, they preach that drinking the blood of a person with a supernatural ability, especially a little girl's virgin blood, can obtain an ability or something. When he heard this, he felt strange, and he had a vague impression.
After arriving at the southwest base in his previous life, because there was almost no one in the base who dared to let children and women go out alone, Luo Xun talked about this incident when chatting with people in the place where he once worked. I heard that the reason why you can't see children and single women on the street is because the number of women and children has dropped sharply after the end of the world, and later single women and children in the base may be abducted, sold, caught and eaten when they go out. But I've also heard that there seem to be some strange rumors in the base, such as drinking the blood of the supernatural, especially the fresh blood of the virgin and the boy to have the ability or something, so it is said that because of these reasons, the child was lost for a while in the early days of the apocalypse.
In addition, in the early days of the last days, there was an urgent shortage of meat, and women and children were the easiest to catch, so after a long time, people with children and wives at home were killed and let them go out, and they were all locked up at home for protection.
But even so, in the late apocalypse, some teams with relatively large forces, who can call the wind and rain in the base, but have no bottom line, will also do things that break into other people's homes and steal other people's women.
However, Luo Xun had always thought that these things were legends, just like before the end of the world, almost every school had rumors that the school was haunted or something, or that the place where the school used to be a cemetery, and now there are ghosts in the middle of the night, etc.
Many things are like this, although they have been experienced, they can't be remembered immediately when Luo Xun is reborn. Many things only come with their occurrence and the appearance of signs to bring back Luo Xun's memories that have been almost forgotten in the corner. No one is a genius with a great memory, and as soon as he is reborn, he can remember every day he has experienced, everything he has encountered, and every news he has heard in his previous life.
It's not people who can do this, it's computers. And even if the person using the computer doesn't ask or inquire at all, how do you know that it has all this information in it?
"So-" It seems that only Zhang Su in the entire room was not shocked by Luo Xun's "speculation", but looked at the little girl who was too frightened, pale because of excessive blood loss, and was in a coma in Xu Mei's arms, "This little Lori is a stranger?" ā
Luo Xun was also stunned, he just subconsciously said his memories of his previous life, he didn't think that this child could also be an ordinary person, and those people might think that they were vampires who could coexist peacefully with zombies. So, Luo Xun shook his head and looked at Xu Mei: "I don't know." ā
Xu Mei ......, "I don't know either. After finishing speaking, he also looked at Luo Xun - this possibility was guessed by you, what do you think I am doing?
