Chapter 291: The Swamp of Death
Lance was very good at conversation, and he seemed a little unfinished talking until late at night.
If it weren't for Amelia. Marlowe entered the house and insisted that he go to bed on time, and Qin Nuannuan felt that she would probably accompany him to fight until dawn.
The Chicago base did not treat her special because of her special status, but arranged a guest room for her on the edge of the base.
The room was damp with a biting cold wind, the quilt on the bed was moist, Qin Nuannuan sealed all the windows and doors, and flashed back to the space.
It was late, and Qin Nuannuan was not ready to return to the base through the fourth door, but hung up the hanging headphones and dialed Su Yibai.
"Qin Nuan?"
Qin Nuannuan took out the freshly squeezed orange juice from the refrigerator, took a sip and replied, "We are now at the Chicago base, and we are safe for the time being." ”
Su Yibai, who was bathed in the moonlight, put the folder in his hand aside, and replied lightly: "Didn't you say that you will leave as soon as Xie Xi is delivered?" ”
Qin Nuannuan: "I also planned to do so, but the people here are too enthusiastic, and something unexpected happened." I'm just telling you peace, and I won't tell you more, we'll leave early tomorrow morning. ”
Su Yibai: "Well, you can sleep." ”
Qin Nuannuan didn't plan to sleep outside, she ate something casually and then climbed onto the soft bed and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Qin Nuannuan woke up on time under the continuous ringing of countless alarm clocks.
Out of the space, even though she was still in the house, she could feel the cold wind blowing in her face.
She wrapped a soft woolen scarf tightly around her neck, put on her gloves to protect against the cold, and put away the iron plates in front of the door and window.
Everyone greeted each other as they walked out of the room. With a smile on his face.
"Charles, I heard that you hit the most zombie crystal nuclei yesterday."
"Ellie has fresh jam for sale today, why don't you go buy some?"
"The Chicago Guardians are recruiting, let's go together."
"Good morning, what a great day."
Qin Nuannuan listened to everyone's small talk and greeted the people who were smiling kindly.
"Miss Qin, thank you for the food you gave us yesterday."
"Miss Qin, thank you for your favor."
"Miss Qin, good morning." "Good morning." ”
Qin Nuannuan walked all the way to the restaurant, because Qin Nuannuan and the others were guests. They have a separate area for them to eat. Qin Nuannuan easily found Xue Dong and his party who were dressed similarly.
"Nuan Nuan, are you up?"
Qin Nuannuan nodded and took the hot porridge handed over by Xue Dong, "Breakfast is over and ready to go." ”
Xue Dong: "Our things have all been packed, and we can set off directly after eating." ”
Qin Nuannuan scooped a few spoonfuls of clear porridge. Then simply put down the spoon and drink it directly. Purse your lips. Looking up at Xie Xiyi, "Professor Xie, we will leave this morning, and there will be about five people left with you." If you're done, go back to base under their escort. ”
Xie Xi nodded, "Okay, I'm sorry for you, Xiao Qin." ”
Qin Nuannuan: "No. ”
Everyone moved quickly, and after fifteen minutes everyone had everything sorted out, and the team left the Chicago base.
Their goal is a swampy area in the opposite direction of Chicago, and according to previous team reports, it is where Su Yubai and Guo Ruicheng are most likely to appear.
However, the quickest way for them to get there was not to travel around the human base, but to fly straight over the Zombie Plains.
Well, although this behavior is crazy.
But.
For the Stranger who has been dancing on the tip of a knife, living on the edge of life and death.
They may be more of a thrill and excitement than they are afraid.
",, the feeling of zombies at your feet is so cool!!"
"This feeling, I feel really awesome."
Qin Nuannuan's face was faint, "Haven't you flown from the zombie group in so many missions before?" ”
Everyone glanced at the endless vines that spread out with Qin Nuannuan as the center, "I didn't dare to be so presumptuous before. ”
The sky above the zombies is not completely safe, the bouncing nature of the zombies is not for fun, and similarly, the zombie birds never act alone.
Aerial targets will appear more visible than on the ground, and the danger factor will soar.
Qin Nuannuan didn't look at the zombies jumping high, and waved the vines directly.
The strong wind with sharp barbs made the zombies directly shoot back to the ground without any resistance.
Since the establishment of the first base, Qin Nuannuan has hardly been on a mission, and most of the people present have cooperated with Qin Nuannuan for the first time.
Led by Qin Nuannuan, you will suddenly feel that the mission is such an easy thing, her ability is like a big net, and the vines are the most solid protective barrier.
Everyone didn't speak all the way, but kept hurrying, from the sun turning out the white of the fish's belly to the scorching sun, although the sun hung so brightly, as if scattering endless light and heat, but in fact, the cold air was still pouring in.
Xue Dong stretched out his hand, and an icicle instantly took shape in his hand.
Then a hint of cruelty flashed across his face, and he waved his hand.
The icicle was nailed directly to the zombie's head, and the headshot was shot with one blow.
Xue Dong rushed out, stretched out his hand and very skillfully caught the crystal nucleus that fell from mid-air, and his body fell back into the team with a bend in the air. "In about an hour, we'll be able to cross the plains to the swamp behind."
Qin Nuannuan nodded and stretched out her five fingers and suddenly closed, the dark green vines flashed dark color, and then the original struggling and roaring zombie body slowly lost weight, and finally left a shriveled skin.
Qin Nuannuan's face remained unchanged, and he commanded the vines to flexibly rush into the zombie's head and roll out the crystal nucleus, and replied, "Take a break for a while." ”
Xue Dong was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "I can't find a place to stay now." There are zombies everywhere, and where there is a place to stay, it will be good to be at the edge of the plain in an hour. ”
Qin Nuannuan turned her head and glanced at him, "Wouldn't it be good to use corpse exorcism powder." ”
Xue Dong considered that it was the first time that Qin Nuannuan came out on a large-scale mission, and moved the aircraft to stand beside Qin Nuannuan, "Corpse repellent powder has no effect in such a large group of zombies. ”
"Really?"
Xue Dong nodded subconsciously, "Yes." ”
But in the next moment, he was completely shocked by everything in front of him and was speechless.
Xue Dong was not the only one who was speechless.
The expressions of all the people who had evoked a kind smile just now because of Qin Nuannuan's reckless words froze, and then slowly turned into horror and disbelief.
What unfolded in front of them was a completely impossible scene. But it just happened so hard and naturally.
The group of zombies on the ground that was originally overlapping slowly dispersed and dispersed again. A circular open space was left in the zombie group.
The snow-white ground was so dazzlingly white, it was in stark contrast to the zombies.
A feeling that bordered on absurdity rose in their hearts.
It seems that as long as Qin Nuannuan is there, then anything will become omnipotent.
Because of physical reasons. So when they left, they asked for a chair for Qin Nuannuan to sit on.
Right now. She sat there quietly. The expression was as indifferent and casual as ever, but everyone looked at her.
Everyone seems to think that she is now like a monument that will not fall, and she is full of radiance!
Qin Nuannuan was a little creepy by everyone's eyes. He frowned, "What's wrong?" ”
Xue Dong: "How did you do it?" ”
Qin Nuannuan's eyes seemed to become a little contemptuous when she heard this.
Xue Dong couldn't figure it out.
Qin Nuannuan explained: "Didn't the small shop once sell a black energy crystal nucleus? Whipping it into powder will have such an effect. ”
Black crystal nucleus, everyone has bought a lot of this.
Because the introduction above the shop is written to be the most suitable aircraft energy crystal nucleus.
Everyone used it according to the rules and regulations of the manual, and they didn't expect that the crystal nucleus could have such an amazing effect when it was powdered.
Sure enough, it's not right to simply trust the use of the manual.
Qin Nuannuan: "I didn't expect you to really do exactly what the shop said, and you didn't try it yourself." ”
The function of the black crystal nucleus, the manual has indeed never been mentioned, this function is only discovered by Qin Nuannuan himself, this kind of thing is not a particularly difficult thing, not a chemical reaction and you have to see if the functional groups can react, how to combine carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, but it is just a very simple physical action.
This kind of thing, she felt that even if she didn't mention it, the supernatural should find out for herself.
However, she didn't know that in the hearts of all the supernatural people, "there is a small shop" has long been completely deified, and everyone worships the words inside like a holy decree, how can anyone question the authenticity of the words inside.
Qin Nuannuan didn't argue with everyone about these things, she just said lightly: "Take a rest and set off in half an hour." ”
The swamp behind the Zombie Plains has a nickname called "Death Swamp", and the swamp here did not exist before the end of the world, but a lake of good water quality.
After the end of the world, I don't know why this area is always unable to form thick ice.
However, although there is no way to freeze, the cold air moistens the air and land in this part of the area.
When the river flowing down from the mountains carries sediment into the lake, the water surface suddenly widens and the water flow slows down.
The ability of the current to carry sediment is weakened, and the sediment is deposited on the edge of the lake, forming shallows.
There are also tiny materials that drift to the width of the lake with the current and are deposited to the bottom of the lake.
Over time, the lake becomes shallower and shallower. And at different locations in the depth of the lake, various aquatic plants gradually multiply.
After the end of the world, the original lake was gone, and it became a swampy area that was intimidating to all the supernaturals.
Before the end of the world, it was a paradise for many birds.
However, after the end of the world, such a place has nothing to do with the word heaven at all.
Mutants are powerful.
Zombies are powerful.
Mutant plants have weird skills.
The environment is unknown and dangerous.
Everything was laid out in the position of the swamp.
Qin Nuannuan took off the soft gloves on his hands while packing up his scarf, and changed into leather black combat gloves while speaking: "If you encounter a zombie in a while, you will kill it directly, if it is a mutant beast, scare and scare first, if you really don't leave, if you have a strong intention to attack, it is not too late to do it at that time." ”
After everyone nodded their heads in understanding, everyone's faces became serious, and they buried themselves and touched into the forest in front of the swamp.
Qin Nuannuan's main task was to go to Su Yubai and Guo Ruicheng, looking at the map as she walked, constantly excluding places where they were not there.
Ten days later.
Qin Nuannuan's team had almost completely eliminated most of the maps, and gradually narrowed the encirclement.
In the evening, the sky gradually turned gray, and the team of Strangers began to raise the fire of the flame crystal nucleus in an orderly manner to keep out the cold, and several people in charge of the team's logistics began to set up tents to rest at night in an orderly manner.
Xue Dong sat down beside Qin Nuannuan, and asked while handing her compressed biscuits, "Is Su Yubai's location confirmed?" ”
Qin Nuannuan took a bite of the compressed biscuit, and muttered an unclear answer: "It's almost, it's the swampy area in front, everyone be careful later." ”
Xue Dong looked a little worried, he hesitated, "Is it okay with your body?" ”
Qin Nuannuan shook her head, "It's okay, it's okay, according to what I said before, don't keep your hands for a while." ”
Xue Dong: "Don't worry, I've practiced many times before, and there won't be any problems." ”
Jiang Jialiang walked over silently and sat beside Qin Nuannuan.
Qin Nuannuan glanced sideways at him, "What's wrong?" ”
Jiang Jialiang glanced at Qin Nuannuan silently, and then handed over a leaf full of words: "The list of those on duty tonight." ”
The night shift is divided into the upper and lower night shifts, and there are about five people at a time, taking turns.
Qin Nuannuan took the leaves and swept them, and was about to say something, when a person suddenly ran out from the side.
Qin Nuannuan frowned and glanced at him, "What's wrong?" ”
"Sister Nuan Nuan, at the edge of the swamp in front of you has the noctilucent photons from the list you gave before."
It is impossible to verify what kind of plant the noctilucent photon was before it mutated, and humans named it nocturnal because of its current appearance.
Because during the day it is like a weed, and only at night does it emit a very beautiful white glow, accompanied by a very intoxicating floral scent, similar to the smell of lavender, intoxicating and fragrant.
But the effect of the nocturnal photon is not as good as it seems on the surface, it is classified in the category of poisonous flowers, because the hypnotic effect and the effect of inhibiting the respiratory system are too strong, and after a long period of contact, you may die quietly without knowing it.
The number of such flowers is relatively large, and humans have almost picked them by mistake several times, and many people have paid a heavy price for it.
Almost everyone knows about their functions, and there is not much value in picking.
Qin Nuannuan returned almost without thinking: "That, you can just pull a little bit back." ”
There was some hesitation.
Noctilucent is not difficult to pick at all, and it does not need to be carefully preserved, and its vitality is surprisingly strong.
Qin Nuannuan: "Do you have any questions?" ”
"It's not a matter of picking, it's something else, we probably won't be able to camp here at night." (To be continued......)
