Ye Ziyu and Wang Congyi walked the entire village from house to house, and only found a few bags of rice that could be eaten, and the rest were either bugged or moldy.

However, Ye Ziyu was also very happy with these bags of rice, so that she could exchange the good rice in the space for these sinking rice, and she would not attract the attention of others.

During the search, Ye Ziyu always followed behind Wang Congyi, the purpose was to quietly put the big iron pot used for cooking in every household into the space when he went out.

If he had fallen behind in the past, Wang Yuyi would definitely turn around and blow to her, but this time he didn't even look at it, he just said a few words to Ye Ziyu while walking in front, as if he was making sure that she was not lost.

On the other side, Dai Meitong and Pom-pom stayed in the car with wide eyes, waiting for Ye Ziyu and the others to come back.

The pom-pom stretched out boredly, then jumped up and down in the car, as if stretching his muscles.

Dai Meitong frowned slightly, she felt uncomfortable at the thought that this fox hadn't bathed for a while, but it was still bouncing in front of her eyes, and its tail could always hit her.

Dai Meitong couldn't bear to shout at the pom-pom: "Can you stop jumping, the car is full of dust and hair on your body!" ”

As she said this, the pom-pom jumped off the steering wheel and landed on the back seat.

It clung to its headrest with its four paws, and its body was slightly arched, and it easily maintained its balance.

Dai Meitong kept staring at it.

However, the pom-pom just glanced at Dai Meitong lightly, rolled his eyes arrogantly, and continued its muscle-revitalizing exercise.

"Oops, it's really annoying, don't you like to sleep the most, why don't you continue to sleep!" Dai Meitong shouted angrily.

Pom-pom was startled by her roar, and suddenly fell on the seat, and after stabilizing its body, it bared its teeth at Dai Meitong, "Wow" and roared. seems to be warning Dai Meitong that she is not qualified to manage it.

Although Pom-pom is a special mutant beast that can understand human speech and human commands, it is a beast after all. Dai Meitong couldn't really go against it, and after shouting, she cracked her mouth at the pom-pom, and she could only helplessly turn her head away.

From time to time, zombies will walk back and forth outside the car window, and those with a keen sense of smell will find Dai Meitong's breath and knock on the car window.

Fortunately, the car is still strong after all kinds of disasters.

Those terrifying faces were posted on the glass of the car, and Dai Meitong, who was sitting inside, clenched her hands into fists.

It's not because I feel so close to zombies. Instead, I thought about whether my parents would have slapped passing cars like them, whether they would also be restless when they smelled the breath of the living, and whether they had already killed people and drank the blood of the living.

The face on the car window gradually changed to what her parents looked like after they became zombies.

Tears swirled in her eyes, and Dai Meitong unconsciously raised her hands to stick to the glass, slowly circling along the contours of a zombie's face.

When the zombie in front of her turned into the appearance of her parents, although she was still ugly and still had green fangs, she didn't feel scared at all.

She thought suddenly. If one day you try all the methods you can and still can't find your original parents, then you can become a zombie and return to them again and live with the two of them.

Her right hand slowly slid down, and her fingertips touched the button that rose and fell from the glass window, and she suddenly wanted to press it, so that she would be scratched and bitten by these zombies, and then she would soon become one of them, and she could immediately return to Yisu City to reunite with her parents, and she didn't have to wait for Ye Ziyu to be strong, and she shouldn't accompany her on such a long and dangerous road.

Just when her fingers had a tendency to press downward. The pom-pom jumped up from the back of her head, jumped onto her shoulder, lowered her head, and took a bite on the wrist that was on the window button.

Although the skin was not broken at all, Dai Meitong's wrist was really painful.

Dai Meitong suddenly came to her senses. What happened to me just now? It's like a ghost.

If you do open the car window, the consequences are really unimaginable.

Cold sweat trickled down Dai Meitong's forehead.

The pom-pom snorted contemptuously at her, and began to bounce around in the not-so-spacious space again.

This time, Dai Meitong never made any more remarks.

The sound of a fight could be heard not far outside the car.

Is it Ye Ziyu and Wang Yuyi who are back?

Dai Meitong looked through the gap between the zombies around the car, but saw a ragged and unkempt man fighting with a group of zombies.

Are there still living people in this village?

The man was petite. But because of the dirty hair, the face and the exposed parts of the whole body were extremely filthy, and it was impossible to distinguish between men and women for a while.

After the man eliminated all the zombies surrounding the car, he walked straight to the front of the car, leaned on the front of the car, and looked into the car from the windshield.

Seeing Dai Meitong's surprised face sitting in the back seat, and the fear that had just calmed down, the man only said that Dai Meitong was scared because the car was surrounded by zombies.

The man knocked lightly on the car window first, and then waved his hand at Dai Meitong. His lips and jaws moved, as if he was saying something to Dai Meitong. However, because the person was not loud and the sound insulation of the car was also good, Dai Meitong couldn't hear what the person was saying.

The man saw the doubt on Dai Meitong's face, and began to dance again to express his meaning.

The pom-pom stopped jumping when he saw the stranger suddenly appear, and was quiet all on the table behind the back seat.

It curled its whole body together, and its tail was tucked under it, and at first glance, it looked exactly like a pillow with the head of a small animal like a puppet.

Pom-pom saw the stranger's sudden movements and twist around, and couldn't help but be vigilant, and rubbed it down behind the windshield, startling the dirty guy and taking a few steps back.

The man stepped back for a distance, and after seeing the white-haired creature that suddenly appeared, he hurriedly stepped forward again, this time the man slapped directly at the car window on Dai Meitong's side, and shouted, "Open the door!" Come out of here! Do you know what you're with! ”

This time, Dai Meitong heard it clearly, and understood that this person had obviously misunderstood and regarded the pom-pom as a powerful mutant beast in the mountains and forests.

She didn't dare to lower the window, even though the other party looked very worried about her safety. So she also learned to shout loudly in the car: "Thank you, it's just a pet, don't worry." ”

The man was stunned for a moment, obviously not coming back to his senses, according to his own experience. It can be judged that the white-haired animal in the car is definitely a mutant beast, and even a mutant beast can be tamed, and it seems that this person is by no means simple. I just don't know why I was surrounded by a few ordinary zombies here, and I was still sitting in the back seat. How scary it must be.

"You come out! Feel relieved! I'll protect you! The man looked concerned. These zombies have been killed by me, and now while there are no zombies coming, you can come out and follow me quickly. ”

Dai Meitong shook her head, afraid that the person wouldn't be able to see it, and shouted again: "I'm fine." Thank you, you can go. ”

The man only distrusted himself and continued to shout: "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person, there is a shelter not far from here, the living people around here are all there, you come out, I'll take you there!" ”

Dai Meitong only felt that this person was very persistent, and it seemed that he would not leave alone if he didn't take himself away.

Although she was still shouting polite words to the man, she began to slowly become vigilant in her heart.

Knowing people, knowing faces, but not hearts. Who knows if this man is really just trying to save himself or if he wants to get the car and its contents.

The two were at a stalemate, one resolutely letting the people in the car follow him, and the other indicating that he would never get out of the car.

At this moment, Ye Ziyu and Wang Jiyi each carried two bags of rice in their hands and rushed back.

"Huh? There was a person standing next to the car, looking strange. Ye Ziyu's eyesight was higher than that of those at the same stage, and he first found the figure next to the car.

"Who's that?" Saying that, she hurriedly rushed over, and Wang Yuyi also followed closely.

"Who are you?" Running closer, Ye Ziyu pointed at the man and asked.

The man didn't expect anyone to show up, and was obviously taken aback. "Mom," exclaimed. When I saw Ye Ziyu and Wang Congyi standing behind me, one was beautiful and the other was charming, obviously not from this village, let alone those zombies who had lost their human appearance. Only then did he exaggeratedly caress his chest.

Huh? Why do I describe a man as charming? The man unconsciously scratched his equally dirty hair with his dirty black paws.

"You two are with the people in the car?" The man did not answer Ye Ziyu's question, but asked rhetorically.

"You haven't answered who you are." Ye Ziyu continued to ask.

Looking at the rice that Ye Ziyu and the others were carrying, the man grinned, and a row of white teeth immediately appeared on his black face.

"I guess you must be together. How can I leave my companion alone in the car, I don't know how dangerous it is, if I don't come over and get something. By the way, deal with these zombies, and your companions are going to be terrified. ”

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to have malicious intent, Ye Ziyu lowered his vigilance slightly, took two steps forward, and carefully looked at the people in front of him.

However, this man was dressed in tattered clothes, his face was covered with mud, and he couldn't see his true appearance clearly, although he couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman from his appearance, but judging from the fact that he deliberately lowered his voice to make his voice hoarse, this person should be a woman.

It stands to reason that the other party is a woman, and at this time, it is usually Wang Congyi who will talk to the other party first, but this person is really a mess, and Wang Congyi is a master who pays attention to appearance, although he has already judged that this person is a woman when he first saw him, but he didn't want to talk to each other at all.

"Thank you for helping us deal with these zombies, this is for you as our thank you gift." Ye Ziyu stretched out his hand, and there were two cleanly processed transparent crystal nuclei spread out on his palm.

The woman's eyes lit up.

The corners of Ye Ziyu's mouth curled slightly, she really guessed correctly, this woman is the original resident of this village, and there are few people in this village, and there are not so many zombies, and there are even fewer high-level zombies who can produce crystal nuclei.

Therefore, the crystal nucleus should be the most suitable meeting gift.

However, the woman just stared at the crystal nucleus in Ye Ziyu's hand for a few glances before retracting her gaze, raised her chin, and said with some shame: "Who said that I want the crystal nucleus, it's just that I killed a few zombies, are you looking down on me?" ”

This chin lifting action reminded Ye Ziyu of Zhong Ling, but obviously the woman in front of her was not as pampered as Zhong Ling. But what is certain is that this woman should not be very old.

"Nothing else, just thank you for protecting our friend. Since the girl doesn't want to accept it, then we won't force it. Ye Ziyu withdrew his hand and put away the crystal nucleus anew.

The woman still raised her chin, and her eyes that weren't enough to glance revealed that she actually cared about the two crystal nuclei very much, but she just couldn't pull them down.

"What are you doing in our village? There are no more living people here. There's no food, but how did you find these four sacks of rice? The woman looked down at the rice in the hands of Ye Ziyu and the others, and her eyes were as eager as if she had seen the crystal nucleus before.

"We were just passing by, so we got out of the car to see if we could find some food, but we didn't expect it to be there, we can only say that we were lucky." Ye Ziyu said truthfully.

"That'...... That...... Since you found this rice from our village, you should give us half of it. When the woman said this, she also felt embarrassed, and after speaking, she looked left and right and pretended to observe whether there were zombies around.

"Of course, no problem, we should be grateful for the rescue of our friend. These two bags of rice should be regarded as our reward. Ye Ziyu happily put the two bags of rice in his hand in front of the woman's feet.

The woman didn't expect the other party to agree so quickly, so much so that she was a little at a loss.

Sure that Ye Ziyu was not joking with her, the woman happily tied the mouths of the two bags of rice together, and then seemed relaxed, but in fact she left one of the bags of rice behind her with great difficulty.

The woman with two bags of rice on her back looked even more petite.

She had just taken two steps, suddenly stood still, turned around, and said to Ye Ziyu and the others: "My home is near here, and almost all the surviving people in the surrounding ten miles and eight villages are there, if you also want to stay and have a stable place, you can also join us." ”

"Huh? Is there a base around here? Why haven't you heard of it? Wang Yuyi seemed to be interested and asked out loud.

"It's either a base, it's a shelter we've built ourselves. Without relying on government relief, you can still survive strongly. It's just that there has been a shortage of food recently, and many people can't eat, so I have to take the risk to try my luck here again to see if I can find some more food. ”

"It turns out that not only the government is not only a base, but also a shelter built by people on their own!" Ye Ziyu said with emotion.

"Of course, there are many such shelters, once a zombie attacks, everyone will spontaneously take up arms to fight, which is much more united than the people in the government base." The woman said proudly. (To be continued.) )
