Lou Lan couldn't see his expression clearly, and struggled for a while, but to no avail. In the end, there was no choice but to rest on his chest. Now this skill is also the first time she has tried it since she had an idea, and she didn't expect it to cost so much.

In just three or four minutes, the already full mental power was about to be exhausted. The cost of supporting such a large area of ice ability outside was not as simple as she had imagined.

I struggled a little to change into a more comfortable position. When Lou Lan had nerve pain in her brain, she had to be glad that the back seat of the car was big enough to allow her to lie so sideways without the slightest discomfort.

At this time, Tong Le in the driver's seat suddenly said: "It seems that the front can rush out." ”

"Can you see with your eyes?" This was Lou Lan's first reaction.

Tong Le's eyes can't see, strictly speaking, it's because of her, but the situation was urgent at that time, and there was really no time to remind her. Therefore, Lou Lan was very guilty about Tong Le's eyes.

"It's still a little vague, but it's probably clear." As a childhood sweetheart, Lou Lan asked this sentence, Tong Le knew what she was thinking, and said indifferently: "It's okay to estimate it later, it's none of your business." Come and see if there are a lot fewer zombies in front. ”

Lou Lan and Tong Le have had a tacit understanding since childhood, and after he said this, the guilt in his heart suddenly disappeared. She endured a headache and was about to look up to see ahead. But he heard the voice of the land realm in his ears.

"The number of zombies in front of us is at least twice as small as the number of zombies around the car now."

Mai Chuan also chimed in: "Yes, it can be distinguished with the naked eye. ”

"How could it suddenly be so much less?" The more time passes. Lou Lan's face turned paler, and she struggled to get up and glanced ahead, and found that it was indeed as they said. Just twenty meters ahead, there was an invisible cordon, clearly separating the zombies on both sides.

"Elder Lou, quickly collect your magical powers, it's only twenty meters, I'll rush over directly in one go." Tong Le said suddenly, obviously seeing Lou Lan's pale face from the rearview mirror.

Lou Lan was indeed a little unable to hold on at this time.

As Tong Le said, it is only twenty meters. Cars with strong horsepower are added to the maximum yardage. Twenty meters is only a second. After silently calculating in her heart, she began to slowly withdraw the spiritual power she had been supporting.

And as her mental power was retracted, the ice abilities outside also began to retract at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The first to change is naturally the outermost part.

The ice melts at a rate visible to the naked eye, revealing what was previously encased beneath it. Flowers. Tree. And countless zombies. The ice turned into water and was left behind. There were even ice slags left on the bodies of those zombies, but not far away, seeping out of the car, Lou Lan's flesh and blood aura had already attracted them to act.

It's just that they can't get close to the car yet.

The closer you are to the car. The more zombies, the slower the ice melts. These zombies, who have not yet melted and gained freedom, block their "descendants".

And with the clothes of these zombies that were still frozen, in just a few seconds, Tong Le drove the car through this area at the fastest speed.

Passing through this area is as if a seal has been breached.

If there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in the back, then there is the singing of birds and flowers in front. Although there are still a lot of zombies, they are no longer enough to surround the car.

Seeing this situation, everyone in the car, including Mai Chuan's children, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are there so few zombies, is there something strange about this?" Tong Le asked as he drove.

"I don't know, but I think it has something to do with the people in the [Adeptus] team. Look around, it's not that there are fewer zombies here, but that the encirclement that should have been crowded with them was broken by some external force. Lou Lan pointed to the land outside the window and said.

Tong Le and Mai Chuan in the front seat looked in the direction she was pointing and found that there were indeed many zombie corpses on the ground, and there were also traces of some abilities used.

Fires, small holes, everything in the ground.

It's just that the distance was too far before, and these traces were also partially covered by the zombies' footsteps, so they didn't notice it for a while.

"Those people in the [Alien Squad] have such powerful abilities? They didn't seem to be very strong when they opened the road in front of them before, could they ......" Tong Le showed a hesitant look on his face.

"That's right, that's what you think." Lou Lan's face turned pale, but the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking smile, and said, "That group of people deliberately hid their strength at the beginning. ”

"Are they crazy!" Tong Le shouted in disbelief: "This is a place in the zombie pile, where it is easy to be wiped out if you are not careful, and they dare to keep their hands?!" ”

Mai Chuan and Lu Jing, who had been silent, also frowned.

Lou Lan moved her body and changed her posture, and then sneered: "What's impossible." Otherwise, why do you think we can't even see their shadows so fast on the same journey? ”

"A bunch of neurotics." Tong Le spurned.

"They think they have strong manpower, so they naturally don't take these low-level zombies seriously." Lou Lan's face was even more sarcastic, and he sneered: "Don't worry, when they arrive in the populated Q City, they will be able to see what the real 'doomsday' is." ”

The larger the population, the greater the chance of high-level zombies appearing. First-order, second-order, or even third-order zombies may appear.

If none of these zombies can destroy them......

Lou Lan smiled lightly.

At that time, it was time for them to strike.

……

Two flowers bloom, one on each branch.

This wing Lou Lan and his party began to get out of danger and went to Q City, and in the commander's mansion of B City, they were still carrying out their daily greetings and send-offs in an orderly manner.

There were constant people in suits and leather shoes coming and going in this small building, looking closely at their faces. It can be found that most of them are faces that are often seen in the news broadcasts of country Z before the end of the world.

Before the apocalypse, these people and people from the military department rarely came to play, but now the world is different.

Because of the emergence of the zombie virus, the total human population has decreased dramatically, and in addition to basic order, human society does not actually need such a thing as "politics".

As a result, the "politicians" lost their jobs.

In a world where life disappears at any moment, it is the military department that has regained power that has previously held "force".

And Lou Hongqing is the "head" of the military department.

Every day, people kept coming to him, either because of the distribution of materials or because of the lack of positions. Or is it just for the sake of simple ...... Alive.

The innermost office of the Commander's Palace.

It is used exclusively by Lou Hongqing. It is supervised 24 hours a day by the "good hands" of the military department, and unless Lou Hongqing personally calls it, it is just like the description in those exaggerated novels -- not even a large mosquito can fly in.

At noon, just after 12 o'clock.

There was a knock on the office door.

Lou Hongqing, who was buried in the papers, didn't even raise his head. Just the left hand pressed the bell on the table that was within reach.

"Jingle bells."

A crisp bell rang.

There was a soft sound outside the door. It seems that someone is searching for something that someone is carrying.

But soon. The office door was finally opened. Behind the door, there was Nie Haochu, who was tall and even. He holds a tray in his hand with a hemispherical metal lid.

He walked slowly into the room. Then he whispered the door shut.

"Commander, it's time for lunch." Nie Haochu put the tray in his hand on the coffee table on the side, opened the metal lid on it with one hand, turned around and respectfully bent down to Lou Hongqing and said, "It's time to rest, respected commander." ”

Lou Hongqing looked up at the clock on the wall, frowned, and finally threw away the pen in his hand.

"Time flies." He grumbled as he stood up and walked over to the coffee table.

Nie Haochu smiled, pulled out a chair for him, and replied, "It's not that time flies too fast, it's that there are too many things you need to deal with." ”

"yes." Lou Hongqing rubbed his forehead, sat on the chair, and sighed: "I am in my sixties and almost seventy this year, but I still have to deal with so many things every day. ”

"That's because you haven't raised someone you can trust." Nie Haochu still had a smile on his face, and said, "Maybe as long as you wait for another ten years, and the second young man grows up, you will be much easier." ”

I don't know if it was intentional, he ignored Lou Hongqing's own son Lou Jiande and jumped directly onto Lou Chung.

Lou Hongqing didn't blame him at all, and sighed: "Ten years, how long." He touched his graying sideburns and smiled bitterly, "And even if I can wait for ten years, can humans wait?" ”

This time, Nie Haochu didn't answer again, the smile on his face was put away, and he just handed the dishes and chopsticks to Lou Hongqing silently.

Lou Hongqing stirred the rice with chopsticks, which was crystal clear and distinct. This staple food, which was so common before the end of the world, is rarely eaten now, and even he can eat it only three or four days a week.

He silently ate the rice in his bowl, occasionally sandwiching a dozen thumb-sized pieces of pork from another disc.

Nie Haochu stood beside him, waiting quietly.

Suddenly.

Lou Hongqing stopped the chopsticks in his hand and seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he asked, "Xiao Nie, what do you think of this kid Lou Lan?" ”

She? Nie Haochu was a little surprised, he thought back to the situation when he first met Lou Lan.

"I think ......," he said, after a moment's deliberation, "a pretty good boy." ”

"Good?" Lou Hongqing suddenly laughed, with a complicated expression on his face, and said, "How could she be a good child." If she were a good child, there would be bad people in this world. ”

Nie Haochu was a little dazed.

"You really don't understand ......" Lou Hongqing stopped talking, changed the topic and said: "That kid is fine, but her little Taoism is not enough in front of me." ”

Nie Haochu thought back to all the intersections with Lou Lan, and found that he really didn't find anything wrong.

"Hmph, don't look at her being submissive in front of me, in fact, she has more ideas than anyone else. Otherwise, how do you think she and that strange man came to City B from City H, and why did they suddenly say that they wanted to leave City B? ”

"Why ......" Nie Haochu was confused.

"Because I hinted that something was going to happen in her city B recently, this girl ran away. Hahaha. Lou Hongqing laughed, his voice full of pride.

It looks a lot younger in an instant.

Nie Haochu: "Recently, something big happened in City B? Most of the important documents passed through his hands every day, but he didn't seem to see any information about "big things".

"Of course not." Lou Hongqing shook his head with a smile, and said, "I lied to her." ”

"......" Even if he is as calm as Nie Haochu, he doesn't know what to say at this time.

Lou Hongqing glanced at his expression, and suddenly sneered: "I know that the son I gave birth to knows that Jiande has always disliked Lou Lan because of the Bai family's affairs, so he will definitely not let her go back." And Lou Lan also seems to have some hostility towards her father, so when I asked her to go back, she would definitely refuse, coupled with the information that I deliberately leaked that 'it would be dangerous to continue to stay in City B', she really applied to leave City B. ”

"However, it's dangerous outside City B, and those monsters ......" Nie Haochu stopped talking.

"I know." Lou Hongqing said very simply, he said: "Even if there are monsters, my granddaughter Lou Hongqing will come back alive no matter what, after all, B City, there will be more help in the future." ”

As soon as these words came out, even Nie Haochu couldn't help but be moved.

Lou Hongqing's words have been made very clear, he wants to give up the opportunity to wait for Lou Chung's growth, and give up the opportunity to go outside to find new talents. He had already made a desperate bet on the young girl, who was no more than twenty years old.

Nie Haochu couldn't help but recall Lou Lan's appearance again.

Such a thin child, it seems as if a slightly stronger wind can blow her away.

However, she is the person Lou Hongqing chose.

"If that's what you want, then I'll do everything I can to help her." Nie Haochu's right hand hung down, his body that had been standing straight was aligned, with a standing posture, his eyes were deeply fixed on Lou Hongqing, and the upper part of his body was tilted forward about fifteen degrees.

A perfect Y country nobleman bows.

Lou Hongqing smiled: "Your appearance is from country Z, don't do such actions, our most beautiful posture is to salute." As for Lou Lan, there is no need to give her any help for the time being, now is not the time. ”

"Yes!" Nie Haochu saluted a military salute, but it may not be standard because he is not skilled.

"Alright, you go out." Lou Hongqing waved his hand.

Nie Haochu nodded, cleaned up the food on the coffee table, and then walked towards the door with steady steps. (To be continued.) )
