Chapter 20: The Stars Sleep
Li Changfeng patted his chest with palpitations, and breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the head of the Heavenly Star Research Institute who had completely collapsed not far away. There was a commotion in his back, and the Heavenly Star who had just been suppressed by the Corpse Mother and passed out gradually woke up after the Corpse Mother left Celestial Star City.
"Mom, run!" Tianxing, who had just woken up, spoke eagerly, but found that there was no more terrifying suppression of the corpse mother around, and looked at Li Changfeng suspiciously, "Mom, are you leaving?" ”
Li Changfeng patted Tianxing's back with relief and said, "Well, let's go, it's okay." Seeing that Tianxing was still terrified, Li Changfeng helplessly pointed to the Tianxing Research Institute that had collapsed into a wasteland in the distance and continued to speak: "Look, it's really gone. You can feel it yourself. ”
"But why is Mom gone?" Skystar's IQ does not understand the corpse mother's behavior of not devouring herself when she leaves. Li Changfeng pointed to his nose and said, "I, forget it, it's okay anyway." ”
Li Changfeng felt that even if he told Tianxing the truth about the corpse mother's eyes, Tianxing would not understand, and would continue to ask, so he simply coped with Tianxing's inquiries casually to avoid Tianxing's continued chatter. Hearing this, Tianxing looked at Li Changfeng's eyes full of admiration, and suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Changfeng.
Li Changfeng's brain hurt, and he helped Tianxing up from the ground again and said, "What are you doing?" What are I doing kneeling for no reason? The night gradually dissipated, and the light of the morning light fell on the earth again, and Tianxing seemed to be extremely afraid of the morning light, hiding behind Li Changfeng and faintly speaking: "Light, it's time to sleep." ”
Seeing this, Li Changfeng stretched out his arms, and the figure fell to the ground, providing a shadow area of more than one meter for the celestial star. Turning his back to the Celestial Star, he said, "Go back quickly, I'm going to the Celestial Star Tower, and I'll come back to you at night." ”
Then Li Changfeng kept his arms open and escorted Tianxing back to the place where the starglow stone was dug before, Tianxing dug out a deep pit in the earth, lay down in it, and dragged a steel plate to cover the pit with the bandage on his body.
After Li Changfeng watched the Celestial Star fall into a deep sleep, he did not immediately get out and go to the Celestial Star Tower, but instead sat on the spot and fell into a long contemplation. If the corpse mother had been hiding in Tianxing City before, even if Li Changfeng had killed the zombies of the Tianxing Research Institute at that time, the corpse mother would have continuously created a wave of zombie outbreaks in the future.
But in the ruins of Celestial Star City now, except for the mutated zombie Tianxing who buried himself in the deep pit in front of him, Li Changfeng did not find any trace of other zombies. If there were still a large number of zombies hidden in the ruins of Celestial Star City, once it broke out, the survivor camp of the Poison Dragon Cliff would not survive for half a day at all.
Li Changfeng made up his mind, and decided to send them back to the survivor camp after finding Tianyi and the others, and when he finished dealing with the affairs of the new city, he must return to Tianxing City to find the hidden zombies, if they are ordinary zombies, they will be slaughtered, and if they all have a certain self-consciousness like Tianxing, they must be controlled.
Hiding in the Heavenly Star Tower, the five people stayed awake all night, seeing that the day was coming, there was still no trace of Li Changfeng, and the huge movement in the city last night sounded, and everyone had a very bad guess in their hearts. The black lines on the neck of Tianyi loomed under the mood fluctuations, and the whole person exuded the breath of not entering, and a pair of red pupils stared at the path under the tower, looking for Li Changfeng's figure.
Tianyi's hands subconsciously grasped the entire iron fence into a depression, Chen Hong noticed Tianyi's state at the moment, and slowly stretched out a hand to hold Tianyi's hands. Tianyi turned his head in an instant, and a suffocating coercion rose into the sky, shaking Chen Hong and the others away.
Because Chen Hong was closest to Tianyi, the corners of his mouth were bleeding under the impact of coercion, and he still said half-propped up: "Tianyi calms down, Brother Li will definitely be safe." Liu Shi and the others didn't dare to approach Tianyi at this moment, so they could only stand far away and echo: "That's right, that's right, the Li family brother Jiren has his own natural appearance, and there will definitely be no situation." ”
Tianyi looked at the blood spilling from the corner of Chen Hong's mouth, recovered from his angry and abnormal emotions, suppressed the restlessness of the black lines on his neck, and helped Chen Hong up from the ground and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, Aunt Chen, I didn't mean to." ”
Chen Hong looked at Tianyi gently and said softly, "It's okay, it's okay." Then she looked at Tianyi's appearance and was stunned, if her child was still alive, she would be about the same age as Tianyi.
"Look, it's Brother Li, he's back." Seeing that the crisis was resolved, Lu Zhuang also leaned on the window in the tower and looked down, just in time to see Li Changfeng's figure hurrying over in the direction of Wang Tianxing Tower.
Li Changfeng turned his back to the rising sun and came towards the Heavenly Star Tower, and the sunlight behind him shone behind him, dragging out a long oblique shadow.
The rest of the people also came to the window when they heard this, and when they saw Li Changfeng waving at them, their hearts were completely relaxed. Liu Shi half-sat with his back against the wall and laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, I will say that the Li brothers will be fine." ’
When Li Changfeng was in the team before, everyone was very relaxed, even if they were exploring in the ruins of the dangerous Star City, they didn't seem very frightened, because even if there were great difficulties, there would be Li Changfeng in front. And in the whole dark night without Li Changfeng's protection, listening to the roars of mutants coming from everywhere under the tower, everyone seemed to be helpless and desperate as if they had lost their backbone.
Although Li Changfeng was actually embarrassed at the moment, because the corpse mother suddenly appeared, Li Changfeng broke through to the mortal stage and had no wisps on his body, and it was not until he sent Tianxing back to the sleeping ground that he found a tattered sheet in a collapsed house and barely wrapped it around himself.
Tianyi and Liu Shi and everyone went down to the tower to meet Li Changfeng, and when they looked at Li Changfeng who was draped in tattered sheets, Chen Hong couldn't help blushing, it was really Li Changfeng's eagerness, and after putting them on, he came to Tianxing Tower, not noticing that the sheets were too tattered, and the whole buttocks were exposed.
Li Changfeng saw Chen Hong's blushing cheeks, stopped and noticed that his buttocks were cold for a while, and he squatted down in embarrassment, and said embarrassedly: "Something went wrong, I lost my previous clothes." Don't mind, haha. ”
Everyone's mood that had been dull all night was dissipated in Li Changfeng's embarrassed two laughs, and at this time, Lu Zhuang's stomach gurgled and screamed. Li Changfeng sat on the ground and pulled Tianyi to his side, stroking his little head affectionately and looking at everyone: "It's relatively safe now, let's go to the truck to get the food back, let's go back to the camp." ”
When he came to the truck location and opened the compartment, Lu Zhuang took the lead in rushing to the carriage and picked up the ham that had not been eaten before and devoured it, while not forgetting to throw the food to Li Changfeng and others, and said vaguely: "I'm starving to death." ”
Liu Shi sat in the cab, turned his head and asked Li Changfeng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, with a curious face: "Brother Li, how did you come here last night?" ”
Li Changfeng replied half-jokingly, "I met a zombie who called me a brother, and he ruled over those mutated creatures. Later, I ran into a zombie mother who wanted to marry me. As an ordinary human being, Liu Shi gave a thumbs up when he heard Li Changfeng's answer and said: "It is worthy of being a brother of the Li family, and sure enough, even zombies can't hide from it." ”
"But Brother Li, I know this zombie, what is the zombie mother?" Liu Shi asked.
"Harm, this zombie mother, it's a zombie!" Liu Shi completely lost interest in continuing to ask when he heard this, and Li Changfeng's answer was the same as not answering. In his opinion, Li Changfeng must have experienced a tragic battle last night to escape with his life, otherwise why would he have lost his clothes, and now he looks fine, I am afraid that he will suffer serious internal injuries.
Thinking of this, looking at Li Changfeng's eyes was dyed with deep worry, Li Changfeng didn't say it, I'm afraid he didn't want everyone to worry. Liu Shi became more and more convinced that his guess was the truth, and decided to tell all the survivors in the camp about it.
