Chapter 38: Happiness on the Back
He should have woken up and felt the changes in his body, An Lin reluctantly came to this conclusion.
Although his own problem was solved, An Lin's impulse to go to the Tongxin Martial Arts Hall did not decrease but increased.
An Lin had heard Zhou Tao say that the effect of the awakened person's cultivation on their own was very poor, and supplementing it with exercises and cultivation was the best choice. Only by cultivating with the assistance of the exercises can you get twice the result with half the effort, and at the same time, you can avoid detours.
"Stop, stop..."
In front of me, there was a huge rift, about three zhang wide, which was bottomless and its length did not know where it extended.
Everyone didn't know what to do for a while, if it was to build a bridge, there were no suitable materials around, and if it was a detour, they didn't know when they would go.
Just when everyone was worried, a scream accompanied by the barking of dogs staggered sound.
Maybe it was too far away, and the crowd didn't notice any human or dog figures.
"There were a lot of footsteps coming. Lu Tian lay on the ground and listened, frowning a little: "Isn't such a loud voice afraid of attracting mutants." ”
"Mutant?" This was the first time An Lin had heard such a name.
"We call those who are dead but inexplicably resurrected mutants. Lu Tian explained. "They are no longer human in themselves. ”
Those infected by the plague do not seem to have a way of thinking other than instinctive devouring. An Lin thought about the scene of fighting the mutant, even if he cut off his hands and feet, he didn't feel pain at all, which is very similar to the zombies that appear in some movies, and the name of the mutant is also said in the past.
"Look, over there. Wu Hao looked into the distance with wide eyes.
"That's?"
"People. ”
"No, it's all mutants behind that. ”
An Lin looked fixedly, only to see the ruins in the distance appear one after another to lose their minds, and only mutants are this kind of performance,
And at the very front of these mutants, sparse figures are constantly running, mixed with these various animals.
"Captain. A soldier in a white lab coat was clearly asking for instructions.
"Run along the edge of the crevasse. ”
Lu Tian didn't dare to tell everyone to fight for life and death with those mutants, even if he watched those people and animals being caught up by the mutants behind little by little, and drowned in the wave of mutants, he could only choose to evacuate without hesitation, just kidding, his own people were probably not enough to plug their teeth.
Everyone walked along the cracks, and in the uneven ruins, some people fell from time to time, but in order to survive, they stood up again and again, and no one fell.
Gradually, An Lin and his party moved farther and farther away from the mutant trend, until they completely disappeared on the human horizon.
"Whew!"
Everyone couldn't help but let out a long breath.
"It's scary. A slightly chubby young man in the team patted his chest and said with some fear.
"Look, someone has escaped. Yuan Hao pointed to the back, there were about a dozen people, and there were also a few unnamed dogs in front of these dozen people.
"We should be glad that those mutants are so stiff that they can't run fast at all. Lu Tian also breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, except for a few people in the team, such as An Lin, the others almost bumped all the way, looking embarrassed, and even a few people even had colors on them.
"How about it, do you still hold on?"
An Lin came to Shen Xiaoxiao, to be honest, it is really admirable that a girl can persist until now.
An Lin was sure that Shen Xiaoxiao should have become an awakened person like himself, and he also understood that for them who had just awakened, the current status of an awakened person could not increase even a little physical strength for themselves.
A newly awakened person can simply absorb the life energy around them, but the absorbed life energy does not act on the body, but all of it is gathered in the brain, and it seems that there is no special ability.
"It's okay, thank you. ”
Shen Xiaoxiao remembered that when he fell before, An Lin pulled him.
"It doesn't matter, everyone is teammates, and it's okay to take care of each other. An Lin touched the back of his head.
"Anyway, when you arrive in Rong City, are you interested in coming with me? ”
The only one who knew that An Lin had the Awakened Practitioner Technique was Hua Yuning, and maybe Zhong Ming and the one called Master Lin Feng also had it, but none of those people were in Rong City at this time, and they didn't have such a big face.
Shen Xiaoxiao heard An Lin say this, her face was slightly gloomy, how could this person be like this.
"Well, don't get me wrong, I mean there's a way to make you stronger. Seeing Shen Xiaoxiao's face change, An Lin didn't know that he had misunderstood what he meant, and hurriedly explained.
Shen Xiaoxiao's face softened slightly, and he said firmly: "Exercising is not overnight, I can do this myself, and I won't bother you." ”
"Whatever?" An Lin waved his hand indifferently, this kind of thing can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences, and it is estimated that not many people will believe it.
"Not good. ”
A teammate who had just gasped for breath pointed into the distance and let out a frightened sound.
In the direction of his finger, about a hundred meters away, a dog was barking wildly.
It was one of the survivors who everyone thought was entangled with a dog, and the other "survivors" ran towards it indifferently.
When they got closer, everyone saw that it was not a survivor at all, but a mutant with a mouth full of blood.
The dog that was being chased in front seemed to be frightened and ran harder.
"Run. ”
Although there were only a dozen mutants, the mutants that appeared at this time were a little different from the others, and everyone did not dare to attack rashly.
I don't know how long it took, but finally someone was exhausted.
"No, I can't. "It's not the way to run.
Everyone finally discovered the peculiarity of this group of mutants, which was different from the stiff limbs of ordinary mutants, and the running speed had barely reached the level of ordinary people, and there seemed to be no signs of ordinary people being exhausted.
From time to time, the sound of dogs roaring was heard as everyone ranched, and it was conceivable that these mutants had exhausted the dogs.
"If we continue like this, we'll be exhausted. Lu Tian stopped with a gloomy face.
"Captain, look. Wu Hao was suddenly excited at this time.
I saw that the crack in front of me, which was three zhang wide, was gradually narrowing, and I expected that I would be able to walk through it alone not far away.
"Let's go. Lu Tian's eyes lit up.
This huge crack was a huge obstacle that prevented everyone from entering Rong City, and now there was finally hope to cross the past, and everyone's instinct to survive was stimulated again, and the few people who were already paralyzed in the ruins and gasping for breath were instantly refreshed again.
Although Shen Xiaoxiao was already sweating, she didn't seem to show signs of exhaustion, and it is estimated that she usually exercises, otherwise she would not have persevered until this moment.
After a few hundred more meters, the crack had narrowed too much, and a soldier in a white coat jumped up and jumped across the rift to the opposite side.
An Lin frowned, and made a visual inspection, even the current crack was nearly a foot wide, which may not be a big problem for a soldier who has been training for a long time, but it may be very challenging for the rest of the team, let alone when he is almost exhausted.
Sure enough, only a few people in the team jumped through the crack, and a few people hesitated, as if they were measuring their abilities.
As the captain of the army, Lu Tian's strength was of course undoubted, but he did not choose to jump over with those people, but continued to move along the rift with everyone.
Of course, the most relaxed estimate among the crowd is only An Lin, although it can't reach the level of walking on the ground in this ruin, but its casual and brisk steps are enough to prove that An Lin can run with ease in such an environment.
"Ahh
An Lin was thinking about whether he should jump over or not, when an exclamation came from behind him.
"Let's go. ”
Zhang Cheng passed by An Lin and did not forget to remind him.
"Look, I'm too busy to take care of myself now, don't expect me to help you. A tall, thin man with glasses passed by Shen Xiaoxiao.
The tall and thin man with glasses quickly ran in front of An Lin, and walked around without looking at it.
"How did you do that?" An Lin saw that one of Shen Xiaoxiao's feet was stuck in the stone, and he could vaguely see a trace of blood in the gravel.
Finally someone paid attention to himself, and Shen Xiaoxiao, who was already waiting for death, seemed to have vitality in his eyes.
"When I was running, I just encountered this piece of rubble collapsing, and it was crushed. Shen Xiaoxiao knew that time was pressing, and he didn't dare to say more.
An Lin had a gloomy face, this stone was very big, and its sharp corner had already pierced Shen Xiaoxiao's calf, if he didn't move rashly, there would be a second injury, and then Shen Xiaoxiao's leg would probably be useless.
An Lin looked at the mutant who was getting closer and closer, her face changed, and now she didn't move this stone, only death awaited her.
"It's okay, you can do it, I'll bear it. As if seeing An Lin's reason, Shen Xiaoxiao showed a firm look.
This is the first time An Lin has seen that kind of gaze in the eyes of a girl who is beyond the degree of life and death, and a strong desire to protect arises spontaneously, An Lin knows that he must escape from here with this girl.
"Bear with it. ”
There were no superfluous words, at this moment An Lin showed a solemn expression, took a deep breath, and An Lin adjusted his state to the best.
The power of the will penetrated the whole body, and An Lin seemed to want to vent his strength without reservation, only to see the half-square stone moving slowly.
I thought that An Lin would move the slightly smaller stone next to him, but he didn't expect An Lin to directly lift the largest one, Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't be surprised, and hurriedly retreated.
An Lin gasped, there was no way, in order to save time, he had to move the largest stone.
Shen Xiaoxiao's leg was saved, but walking had a great impact, and he saw that those mutants were coming.
"Come up. An Lin pointed to his back.
"Me. ”
Shen Xiaoxiao wanted to speak and stopped, but then lay on An Lin's back very obediently.
As the two softness attacked, An Lin took a deep breath, he didn't have the heart to experience that feeling, and hurriedly used his mental power to carry Shen Xiaoxiao all the way forward.
At this time, Shen Xiaoxiao's whole head was buried in An Lin's broad back, and his two faces were like ripe apples, of course, An Lin couldn't see it.
An Lin quickly caught up with the advancing team, while Lu Tian and the others looked at An Lin who was slowly following with wide eyes at this time.
"Damn, is this still human?" Wu Hao couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.
Indeed, everyone only has a weapon in their hands, and they can only move forward with difficulty in this mess of stones, but An Lin, on the other hand, has an axe at his waist, and the most important thing is that he still has a person on his back, which seems to be easier than everyone else.
"Little brother, your body is okay, it's a pity that you don't come to be a soldier. Saying that, Lu Tian also pretended to sigh regretfully.
At this time, Shen Xiaoxiao pillowed An Lin's shoulder with her head sideways, for a moment how she wished that time would always be frozen at this moment, this moment seemed to be the beginning of her happiness, but she was getting farther and farther away from herself.
