―――――――――――――――

When Mo Li woke up from a half-asleep state, the choking dust and the pungent rancid smell stimulated her sensitive sense of smell, forcing her to think about it all night, and her heart became tense again.

"Hmm...... Ah sneeze-" Rubbing her nose and unable to restrain the itchy feeling, the demon fox sneezed very boldly, and the air flow stirred up more dust and almost choked her cough. Looking around at the new and definitely the worst environment he had ever seen, Mo Li slowly stood up and looked around to be alert to possible hidden dangers while identifying his surroundings -

The gray room looks like a dilapidated room that has been abandoned for several years, and the layers of cobwebs in the corners of the walls make this lifeless room even more lifeless, of course, the layout of the room is still very familiar...... Because Mo Li found himself lying on a couch with dust that might be as thick as a fingernailβ€”and it was here that he pressed "yes" on his phone.

"Every time I come back, the location is reset to before entering the world of reincarnation...... It's a hassle. Now, I guess it's been a year and a half. Mo Li stood up and patted the dust on his body so choked that he couldn't even open his eyes, groped in front of the window and pushed the window open very roughly, or directly violently demolished the window, Mo Li propped his hands on the window and looked down at the city of zombies in the ruins.

The time when Mo Li came happened to be daytime, and there was no timekeeping tool here, so I could only estimate that it was about noon. The buildings are invariably pale in the sunlight, the surface of the buildings is dilapidated, like a disaster area that has not been repaired after an earthquake, and the roads are potholed and abandoned vehicles are parked haphazardly.

And this has always been a lively neighborhood in Moli's impression. All that remains is the countless walking dead swaying aimlessly.

Suddenly, a zombie seemed to be keenly aware of the change in the air current, raised its head to reveal its dry and crawling face full of maggots, and "looked" at Moli's location with cloudy eyes, opening its already chapped mouth and roaring.

Unlike the zombies I saw "very early" in my memory, they no longer decayed and seemed to maintain their dry skin, exuding a rancid stench.

"Roarβ€”"

This hoarse beast-like roar immediately resonated with the surrounding zombies, who gathered and roared in the direction where Mo Li was, and even some zombies stretched out their hands that stopped decaying but cracked and grabbed at the sky, as if they wanted to drag the demon fox down from several stories high.

Mo Li was a little troubled, and now the danger to himself from the virus zombies had been minimized. It can be said that a random fox fire can burn them down. However, what has changed in the last year, and will there be any supernatural beings in the human race like a novel? And whether these zombies have mutated and appeared in first-order, second-order and other levels, and will they produce upgrading weapons such as "crystal nuclei"...... The sick "homesickness" emotions that she originally aroused because of Hua Jianxian's sentence "Zhao Zhijie is dead" gradually cooled down in the roar of a group of zombies.

[Ah...... Back to square one, it's a question of whether my miserable sense of direction will get me out of the city, and even if I do go out and meet human survivors, what will I do...... I used to want to try my luck and see if I could meet relatives and friends I knew, but now I don't even have the confidence that there will be human survival...... Am I really stupid?! 】

The depressed demon fox jumped down through the window. The eyes that were a little depressed just now immediately turned into golden fox eyes full of fighting intent in the wind, and Mo Li quickly fell headfirst into the group of zombies that surrounded him, and a circle of dark blue fox fire erupted just now, and the spiral flames were overwhelming like fireworks exploding in the air, and the zombies on the ground were instantly engulfed by the fox fire, and the flames were like a tide rushing around, and then splashed like a tide when encountering the obstacles of the buildings, and suddenly the whole street was overflowing with sparks.

Mo Li gracefully adjusted his body in the flames, and finally landed with his feet, and then the sinking center of gravity and the recoil of the fox fire stood steadily in the blue firelight. The flames didn't last long, and as the demonic power disappeared, they immediately disappeared without a trace. The bones of the zombies that were still roaring just now were gone, and the steel cars were deformed in the flames, although they were not burned to the point of vaporization, they were almost a pile of broken copper and iron.

"Chirp~" The immortal bird Chirp emerged from Mo Li's pocket, and since discovering the benefits of being smaller, it gave up its body that had grown to the size of a white crane and turned into a small sparrow. Settle in Moli's pocket or sleeve for a long time. The unfamiliar environment and the stale smell of the air made the undead birds a little restless, and even more uneasy when they saw a large area of completely devoid of greenery.

"Next...... Where is the destination? Say good search and rescue team, say good survivor base, say good special ability...... Is there really no one in the real end times? Mo Li rubbed Xiao Jiu's head with her hand, she didn't take the zombies lightly because they were weak compared to herself. If she encounters a large sea of zombies mixed with some more peculiar mutant zombies, she will not be optimistic that she will be able to survive until seven days later and return to the god space.

"Chirp? "I don't know if the immortal bird understands what Mo Li's complaint means." Its little wings, which were trying to flap its flesh, flew up, and it looked as if it would be blown away by the wind at any moment. It began to fly forward along the street, and found that the demon fox was standing in place and looked at it a little blankly, and screamed twice in dissatisfaction and continued to fly forward at a speed that normal people could catch up.

Mo Li exhaled, and lightly followed the immortal bird as it continued to jump forward on the wreckage of the car.

The road ahead is very quiet, except for the zombies that occasionally come out of the car or the surrounding shops, it is rare to see a dense group of zombies similar to the city ruins in the American drama "The Walking Dead".

Standing on the roof of the newspaper kiosk and looking at the silent scene around him, Mo Li really felt that he was in a dead city with no people, facing the zombies that could pop up at any time and the anxiety of not being able to see humans, if it was an ordinary person, he might have collapsed long ago.

"Roar-" Another zombie rushed out of the newsstand, Mo jumped down and kicked it on the head with a shake of his hand, and the crumbling head with no muscles connected to it was kicked like a ball by her and smashed into the battery car on the side. The tires of the battery car were already out of gas, and after being smashed like this, they shook a few times and smashed to the ground, making a loud noise.

[Oh noβ€”]

Mo Li frowned a little embarrassed, with a few innocuous battles, she found that the zombies in the city after a year had changed significantly - the zombies stopped rotting, and they no longer looked like slimy corpses full of rotten flesh, but inevitably breeded, maggots crawled around in the empty body holes, they became agile, all of them were zombies, Liu Xiang's 110-meter hurdle, the dilapidated body was unexpectedly stress-free. His eyesight is obviously degraded to the point where he can't function, but he is unexpectedly sensitive to smells and sounds, and the slightest sound can lure any zombie within 10 meters.

And now, a battery car reversed, hitting the ground with a rather harsh sound, at least Mo Li's shoulders were shaking.

The calm before the storm lasted less than five seconds.

"Roar-roar-" A roar unique to zombies coming from the abdominal cavity came from far and near, accompanied by a spectacular stampede. It's dense and creepy. The quick-hearing demon fox can bet on a D-grade medal of honor, and the scale of the zombies she attracts will definitely not be smaller than the zombie sea in "Resident Evil 4" or the zombie group in "The Walking Dead 1", which is a collection of zombies in a city.

"Lean ......"

Mo Li didn't want to jump into a car and make a steel crash again, and threw out some red pepper-like fruitsβ€”long-lost Demon Plants. Although Han Hong's lethality is now so low that Mo Li has basically forgotten about it. But as a practical Demon Realm plant, it can still play a role at this moment.

"Bang-bang-bang-" As soon as the irascible and explosive Demon Realm plant touched the hard steel shell, it immediately exploded violently, and the sound of the explosion was endless, making people's scalps tingle.

Mo Li quickly escaped at this moment, using his super agility and balance ability to jump on the rooftops of cars and shorter small functional objects, the wind howling in his ears, and even the rancid smell in the air faded a lot with the surging airflow. The landscape in her eyes changed rapidly. The gray, agile zombies could be seen running towards the source of the explosion, somewhat ignoring the demon fox that jumped over their heads.

Occasionally, one or two zombies turned their heads in the direction of Mo Li's escape, but they didn't have time to chase the breath of the living before they lost their goal again, and could only follow their instincts and run towards the place where the loud sound was made.

Mo Li didn't know how far he had escaped, but the buildings were becoming sparse and older, and some of the shorter, older houses began to replace the ruined central city complexes. And here the relative wreckage of the car has become very rare, and there are also some imprints of wheels. What's more, those zombies have also become more rare, and there will even be some fallen zombie corpses on the ground, some crows are pecking at the carrion on the corpses, feeling someone approaching, "quacking" and flying indiscriminately.

[Something is wrong...... The variety of zombies is so single. Even at the beginning, there were mutated creatures such as creepers, but now they are all agile zombies of the Liu Xiang type? 】

"Chirp-" Some of the immortal birds that couldn't keep up with the speed changed their little sparrow size and changed back to the size of a white crane, just flying by Mo Li's side.

"Ah...... ...... here? Mo Li squinted his eyes and felt that the scenery around him was somewhat familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he could still recall that he had once pretended to be a pig and eaten a tiger when the end of the world had just come, and he had taken a survivor's vehicle and passed by this place at that time.

It was in that car that she met the strong man who was second only to sorrow after the seven deadly sins. The greed of the Quetzalcoatl bloodline.

"Dada-"

Mo Li stopped in disbelief and shook his hand to fly the two zombies running over beside him, and made a "silence" gesture to the immortal bird, listening intently...... Very familiar sound. The sound of machine guns, and ...... Human voices!

The previous pessimistic speculation of human extinction was immediately overturned, Mo Li suppressed the excitement in her heart, retracted the immortal bird and rushed towards the place where the machine gun sounded, of course, she couldn't reveal her identity at the beginning, because in the real end times, the abilities of all awakened people are limited, and the use of abilities in front of ordinary humans will suffer a certain punishment unless you kill all those who see your abilities, from deducting points to erasing skills.

――――――――――――――――

"Shet!" A sturdy man in a camouflage uniform carried a machine gun while shooting at the huge zombie that was more than three meters tall like a rotting ** collective, while constantly retreating. The fire support provided by his teammates was nothing to stop the zombies from advancing with the foul smell of rotting food.

And in such a group of men, a petite figure is particularly eye-catching. The sound of machine gun fire on the scene drowned out her voice, and she held a megaphone and unhurriedly stepped back to command.

"Back off-give me all back-yes, I'm talking about you throwing away your gun, bastard, do you want to be a zombie fertilizer?" The long-haired woman, who can be called a girl, pointed at the man who was scolding just now in a rude tone, and at the same time the gun in her hand accurately hit the eyes of the round zombie. The zombie covered its eyes in place and roared, temporarily halting its action.

"Enraged." There was a woman in a kimono standing next to the long-haired girl, and she said coldly when she saw the roaring zombie, and at the same time clenched the weapon in her hand.

"Uh-huh~ I'm afraid it will stay in place and stay motionless." The long-haired girl smiled happily, her smile was as cunning as a cat, she raised the megaphone and just wanted to give an order, she suddenly blinked, turned her head to look around, and finally locked her gaze in the direction where Mo Li was standing.

ps:

I almost exploded the word count, uh-huh meow woo = v = ordinary miscellaneous soldiers are a scum in front of Mo Li, let me think about what is so powerful
