The other shops on both sides of the street, Chen Xin, did not plan to continue the search, and the few remaining shops around him, at a glance, knew that they had all been looted by the survivors, but he could find a can of milk powder in this street, whether it had expired or not, Chen Xin felt that the harvest was enough.

This can of intact milk powder should be the two zombies in the mother and baby store and the blood stains on the can, so that this can of milk powder survived.

Looking at the zombies gradually surrounding in the distance outside the window, Chen Xin picked up the machete again and walked towards the gate of the community.

The wrought iron gate, which was more than four meters high, collapsed in the middle of the road at the moment, and the commercial vehicle that knocked it down was also stuck on the lifting post not far from the entrance.

Chen Xin bypassed the business car, looked at the greenery in the door of the community, and found that it was very different from the appearance of the old era, but he could vaguely see the design style of the year, all kinds of high and low plants, and a path could be faintly seen inside, but they had been covered by new vines.

There is a swimming pool not far in front of the gate of the community, which can be seen as a super large infinity swimming pool, and there are some arms, stumps and heads floating on the water surface of the pool, which I don't know whether they are zombies or humans.

The water that should have been clear and blue is now floating with a layer of dark green duckweed, and a very strong stench is emitted.

Chen Xin didn't dare to approach the pool, this kind of pool looked calm, and there were several extremely difficult evolved zombies hidden under the pool.

The roads in the community are more complicated than the streets, and there are already two or three people of shrubs in many places, which obscure a lot of sight, and when you look closer, there will even be some smell of bushes and groves.

Chen Xin's tactical leather shoes stepped on the middle of the human-tall grass, making a slight "rustle" sound, and the grass was also swaying back and forth as Chen Xin advanced, Chen Xin's head kept turning, vigilantly looking at every grass that might hide zombies.

Zombies are aggressive to all living life, although the movement is slow, but after a year, except for mutated creatures, animals that can run, jump and scream are basically extinct. In the quiet community, coupled with the obscuration of the field of vision, Chen Xin had a feeling that he had fallen into a trap and was stared at by something.

Although at present, most of the zombies' bodies have been very corrupted, and their athletic abilities have deteriorated greatly, but you should still be careful, especially there are many evolved zombies that do not decay at all, have bright and white skin, and have been transformed into a new creature by the virus, and they may also be ambushed here.

Chen Xin didn't plan to go deeper into the community garden, there was a faint danger lingering in his mind, whether the shops on the street were dangerous or not was clear at a glance, but the garden of the community was luxuriant, and it was a bit stressful to maintain 120% concentration at all times.

It is precisely because of this that there are many houses in the community that have not been looted by the survivors, and most of the houses in the community are equipped with anti-theft iron doors, and the risks and benefits of exploration are not proportional to ordinary people, and it is very chicken, and most of the survivors will not search for materials inside. But for Chen Xin now, it is a good place to go, like a low-content gold mine to be excavated.

Chen Xin returned to the gate along the original road, and began to move along the inner wall of the community, on the way he found that this community can still see some traces of human activities, especially some fragmented zombie corpse pieces, with wounds that are obviously caused by sharp weapons, there should be a strong cleaning team that has been active in the community, looking at these corpse parts, Chen Xin said secretly, "It seems that the danger of this community is not as high as I imagined." ”

Groping for the downstairs of the high-rise residential unit, Chen Xin observed the entrance of the unit building, and it could be seen that this community was a relatively high-end community before, and the entrance of the unit building was a closed access control system composed of glass doors.

The glass access control system was not supported by electricity, the door lock had failed, and Chen Xin pushed open the glass door that was still intact and walked in.

The elevator is definitely not usable, even if it can be used, Chen Xin does not dare to use it, fortunately, the lighting of the high-rise building is also well designed, even if there is no light, the fire corridor is still very bright.

Walking to the second floor, the fire door on the second floor was still closed, and Chen Xin knocked on the door a few times with a machete, making some harsh sounds.

"If there are zombies, they should be attracted out, right?" , Chen Xin muttered to himself. Sure enough, there was a sound of "tearing Lassa" from the other side of the fire door, like the sound of fingernails scratching the door.

Chen Xin looked around, there were a lot of abandoned bedside tables and other sundries in the fire escape, which looked quite thick, so he started to pile up a simple fortification.

After testing the walking passage, Chen Xin opened the latch attached to the back of the fire door, and immediately a black hand stretched out along the crack of the door.

The nails of the withered hands are much sharper and longer than those of normal humans, and Chen Xin's biological instinct immediately attacked, assessing whether the sharp and slender nails grew the day after tomorrow, or because the soft tissues gradually dehydrated and atrophied. There were many rotting wounds on the blackened fingers, round, uneven, and oozing some black mucus that stuck to the crack in the door.

While Chen Xin was observing on the door with one hand, he did not stop with the other hand, lifted the machete, and stabbed the half-stretched black hand.

With a "click", the withered black hand fell to the ground with his wrist attached.

Suddenly, the zombie behind the door let out a roar like a ferocious beast that had been injured, the sound was not loud, but the strength of the top door instantly became several times that of just now.

Chen Xin does not have a hard top, and zombies are more than staying power, which is purely self-inflicted, the activity mechanism of zombies is completely different from that of humans, and they can mobilize more than half of the energy of the whole body to move, while humans have too many organs that need to be supplied at the same time.

Chen Xin gave it a push, and then he didn't hesitate to use his physical strength, activated the ability of "Agility Enhancement", took a step back, followed the passage he had just tested, and hid behind the cabinet.

The fire door was all opened immediately, and the zombie had no place to be forced, and suddenly fell to the ground, plus one hand was missing, and he didn't keep his balance on the ground, and he flipped to the ground sideways.

In this book, the zombie lying on the ground on his back is a good opportunity for Chen Xin to go up and mend the knife, which is also the actual combat experience that Chen Xin has gained with a lot of wounds along the way.

It's just that Chen Xin is not sure how many zombies there are behind the door, if it is plural, rash attacks can only make him lose his advantageous position.

The zombie was obviously not stingy with physical strength, but still roared a few times, quickly struggled and reversed, a withered black hand and a broken wrist, propped up on the ground, like a jumping bobcat, and pounced in the direction of Chen Xin.

The zombie crashed into the wooden cabinet, and the whole cabinet shook as if it were about to fall apart. The simple fortifications made of the cabinet can allow Chen Xin and the zombies to see each other, but the material of the solid wood is still relatively heavy, which just blocks the impact of the zombies, and it seems that it can hold on for a while, but the zombies hit the door but couldn't touch Chen Xin, and they hurriedly put their heads into the cabinet, desperately trying to bite Chen Xin behind the cabinet.

Chen Xin kicked back with his right foot, stepped on the stairs, and jumped high with the strength of his other arm. Since the "Agility Enhancement" ability has been activated, for Chen Xin, the time spent in the air is enough to adjust the balance in the air. At the same time, he also glanced at the wooden cabinet at the door and the zombies behind the wooden cabinet, and determined that there was only one zombie.

Before the person fell, the knife in Chen's new hand had already adjusted its direction and aimed at the zombie's head. Taking advantage of the speed of falling, the knife edge was brought out with a loud sound, and it was slashed in the middle of the zombie's head.

Zombie skulls are not fragile, and machetes are not professional bone blades. All of a sudden, it was stuck in the middle of the zombie's skull, and it couldn't be pumped out.

Seeing that the zombie had not lost his mobility, the remaining hand was about to grab the knife stuck in the skull, Chen Xin turned sideways and kicked his right foot sharply, which happened to kick the zombie's face. The muscle fascia on the zombie's neck was also rotten to a certain extent, and the head that was kicked by Chen Xin actually "clicked", broke off from the neck, flew backwards, and hit the fire door at once, and rolled on the ground sideways for half a circle.

Chen Xin's knife was still on the zombie's head, but Chen Xin didn't pick it up immediately. Although Chen Xin didn't want to waste bullets, just in case, he still picked up the rifle behind his back and aimed it at the fire door that had been wide open, and waited for a while, seeing that no other zombies came out again, Chen Xin walked to the door and pulled out the machete stuck in his head.

When I walked inside, I found that the security door of one of the houses was open, and when I looked through the door, the house was in a mess, and the floor was littered with items and bloodstains.

The zombie who was kicked in the head by Chen Xin just now probably ran out of this house, but I don't know if it was hiding here after the outbreak of the virus, or if it was the original owner of the house.

There were a lot of snacks scattered on the ground, but they were all stained with blood stains and the black body fluids of zombies, Chen Xin carefully strode among these items, carefully searching for any uncontaminated food.

The TV in the living room also flipped to the floor, and a portrait of a family as tall as a person hung diagonally on the wall, with one corner hunched against the sofa. The difference is that there is not much black mucus on the group photo, but there are a lot of blood clots that have clotted slightly blackened, apparently touched by the owner of this room with a wound when he was still conscious.

Walking around the room, Chen Xin was surprised to find that there were a lot of canned natto in the bedroom, and one can was torn open, and the smell was terrible, and Chen Xin didn't know if it was just so stinky or the smell of rotting and spoiling. Out of caution, the can of natto was still thrown aside by Chen Xin.

The rest of the canned natto was stuffed in Chen Xin's backpack, and he didn't open it anyway, so he didn't eat it himself, and it was okay to find a settlement to trade.

Seeing that there was no other harvest, Chen Xin walked up layer by layer, as just now, and when he reached the top of the building, there were few doors to open, and he only harvested a few packets of biscuits that had passed the expiration date. The zombies encountered more than a dozen, but with caution, they had all fallen under Chen Xin's knife.

Immediately on the top floor, Chen Xin felt a little tired, after all, he had used the "Agility Enhancement" ability many times today. According to the marks on the harvested materials and calculating the calories, he still hadn't collected enough food today to complete the complete second-order evolution.

The top floor is a duplex, and there is a large terrace, when he was on earth before, Chen Xin wanted to have such a duplex penthouse in the city, but with his income from his work in the laboratory, he couldn't afford it for 100 years without eating or drinking, and now, he has the opportunity to own such a house, but it is impossible to live in peace and quiet.

There are more than a dozen pots of flowers in a quaint style on the balcony, and Chen Xin can imagine the whole balcony before the outbreak of the virus. Only now most pots have nothing but dirt in them, except for the blackened dead branches.

Chen Xin walked to the glass railing and looked down at the scenery of the entire community, several high-rise buildings surrounded by a large garden, and green duckweed covered the pool in the middle.

At this moment, Chen Xin suddenly saw a piece of grass in the garden moving. Someone! Chen Xin observed for a while, and then determined that it was not a zombie.

Even after basic strengthening, Chen Xin's eyesight is already better than that of most normal humans. Looking at the past, faintly in the grass turned out to be an old man in camouflage uniform.

Looking down from above, Chen Xinneng could easily see that not far in front of the old man, there were more than a dozen zombies swaying slowly. Chen Xin really wanted to shout a reminder, if Chen Xin crossed over on the first day, he might really shout loudly. But over the course of a few weeks, Chen Xin's ideas have changed a lot, or he has begun to distrust the rest of humanity.

It's really not far away, and the old man is also very coincidental, and the direction he is walking is the direction of the group of zombies.

Then there was a scene that made Chen Xin stunned, the old man walked out of the grass, and the zombies saw the old man rushing over with his teeth and claws, huddled together.

And when the old man saw the zombies, he didn't have a surprised expression, squatted down and pulled out a dagger from his boots, and walked over facing the zombies.

The zombies didn't mean to stop, but as the old man walked towards them, the zombies all fell to the ground one by one, obviously completely losing their vitality. "Awakened to the Spell Realm?" Chen Xin was a little unsure, after all, it was a little far away, he couldn't see what was going on, and muttered.

More than a dozen zombies were already paralyzed on the ground, and the old man didn't know if he heard Chen Xin's muttering, so he actually looked towards where Chen Xin was, turned around and got into the grass again.

Chen Xin frowned, he knew that he had been discovered, looking at the path of the grass, this old man was obviously coming at him.

But he didn't know how the other party found out, and he wasn't sure what the other party was capable of and what he thought.

Chen Xin's location has more than 20 floors, except for the elevator shaft, there is only one fire escape up and down, it seems that he can't avoid meeting, although he doesn't want to meet this old man, the other party's ability is too weird.

The awakened people in every spell domain are very weird, and the use of their abilities is impossible to figure out.

Contrary to Chen Xin's expectations, it took half an hour to wait for the old man's voice to appear at the staircase.

Chen Xin stood on the second floor of the duplex, looking at the old man who was still holding a dagger, there was not much blood on his camouflage uniform, and the camouflage uniform did not look like a regular military uniform, let alone epaulettes, but it looked like the work clothes often worn by migrant workers on the construction site, but it was very structured.

The old man's hair is a flat head, most of it has turned silver, he is not tall, but his back is unusually straight, Chen Xin looked at him as if he saw a sword that was beginning to show its edge.

"Don't walk around! This neighborhood is now regulated! As soon as the old man entered the door, he found Chen Xin standing motionless on the second floor, and after seriously looking at the young people in front of him, he said firmly and slowly.

Hearing what the old man said, Chen Xin raised his eyebrows, the other party was obviously only one person, and he actually said anything about control, but he really didn't want to deal with the ability of the spell domain, "I'm just passing by!" ”

"Very good, everything you find here belongs to me, you can't take it with you!" The old man still looks aggressive.

Chen Xin's eyes narrowed, this was a bit of a bully, "I snatched these from the zombies!" ”

"Oh?" The old man obviously thought of the zombie corpses he saw when he climbed the stairs, and thought for a moment, "In this case, you can show me everything you have picked up, and if there is no problem, you can take it away." ”

Chen Xin was a little surprised by this answer, "There is nothing left in this building, there are a lot of natto, do you want it", Chen Xin didn't want to conflict with the ability of the spell domain, thinking that there were a lot of natto, anyway, he really couldn't eat it, and it would not be a loss to change the fate of meeting.

The old man obviously also knew about natto, but in fact, he was just looking for some clues, for fear that Chen Xin would be taken away by him after picking it up. But he didn't have a good impression of natto, and said with a disgusted face, "Forget it, you can keep it for yourself..."

“......”

"Are you from the port, or from the airport?"

Chen Xin was a little surprised, the port is not far from here, it is normal for the old man to know, but the settlement of the airport is some distance from here, it is an area occupied by the garrison of the original city, and it is also one of the few settlements in the city that is safe in the later stage, but it is very far from here, and it takes an hour to drive, Chen Xin would not know if he hadn't read the "Wasteland Survival Manual", and it was a little strange that the old man actually knew.

"Neither! I'll just walk around by myself," Chen Xin has only seen people from the port, but he doesn't want to have too much to do with the port, especially when this old man doesn't know the enemy.

The old man listened to Chen Xin's words, obviously even more surprised, to know that a person can survive in the urban area until now, it is definitely not a good stubble, looking at Chen Xin's thin arms, the old man felt that this kid was really pretending to be a good B, otherwise he would be dishonest.

But to be able to kill so many zombies in this building, his skills are also good, he feels that he still has the responsibility to help the military department recruit more good hands, although he doesn't like the current atmosphere of the military department, but decades of struggle experience tells him that he must unite all the forces that can be united!

Recently, the form has begun to deteriorate, and the zombies attacking the military headquarters have gradually transformed from ordinary zombies to evolved zombies and mature zombies, and even complete zombies have appeared! The commander-in-chief of several battle sequences has already proposed to move the military headquarters, and it seems that the relocation of the military headquarters is already unstoppable.

However, the process of migration will definitely attract a large number of evolved zombies and corpse tides, and only by gathering enough good hands can the safety of the migration process be guaranteed. And now, in order to compete for the dominance in this migration process, he didn't even discuss whether to disperse or move in clusters, and no one was convinced, and the fight was endless, which made Xie Guoping feel irritable, which was also an important reason why he came out to explore the way.

"To tell you the truth, young man, the city's garrison is going to find a place nearby to use as a new base, don't think of refusing. Whether you are from the port or the airport, you can't stop this possibility, this is the overall situation! No one can change it, the difference is only which place the military department chooses as the new base! ”

Chen Xin was a little confused, wasn't the airport originally a base for the garrison, why should a new base be built at the airport?

Suddenly, he figured out that the airport as a base for the garrison was something that would happen in the future, and the description in the book was obviously after the garrison chose the airport as a base.

A cold sweat broke out on Chen Xin's forehead instantly, "Fortunately, I didn't say anything wrong just now, otherwise I would have been misunderstood to spy on military secrets, or I could predict the future, it is difficult to say whether I would be caught by the military department and sliced and sliced." Now I may be okay to deal with three or five ordinary soldiers, but if I encounter a squad equipped with heavy firepower, I am estimated to kneel directly. ”

The old man obviously observed Chen Xin's nervous expression, but he didn't understand why Chen Xin was so nervous, could it be that he said the wrong thing just now, saying that he wanted to arrest him and shoot him back?

"Don't worry too much, lad, no matter which side you are. Although the rules of the military department are a little stricter, they also accept a lot of civilians, and everyone is doing well. You see I'm an example, I, Xie Guoping, actually retired a few years ago, and strictly speaking, I'm not a soldier. ”

Chen Xin understood it, it turned out that this old man was a veteran, no wonder he looked like a soldier.

"Wait, Xie Guoping! This old man is actually Xie Guoping! Veteran Xie Guoping! ”
