Chapter 25: Awkward Follow-up Questions
Seeing the flamethrower in Bai Xuan's hand out of thin air, Wang Lao Wu, who had been staring at them, was startled at first, and then scolded.
Sure enough, this slut gets her own baby!
But he felt that something was wrong, and there seemed to be a wind blowing behind him, as if someone was blowing.
Turning his head, he saw only the walls of the black hole and found nothing.
"Sooner or later, I'm going to have to change this body."
In his opinion, this body is not good-looking, not to mention, it is not particularly strong. And unfortunately, this is an evolutionary who has just awakened his abilities.
What's so good about an evolutionary, you can't use that baby!
Unconsciously, he hated Bai Xuan a little more: "It looks silent, it turns out to be so dishonest." Lao Tzu must make her look good. ”
Thinking like this, a premonition that made him uneasy resurfaced.
Again, he couldn't help but look back.
In the late apocalypse, there were scholars who specialized in human evolution, and generally summarized human evolution into three evolutionary directions, namely strength, agility, and intelligence. Although, in each direction, according to the circumstances of each evolutionary, various abilities of unidentified attribution are extended. But the general effect is the same.
Strength: Increases strength, physical strength
Agility: Increases speed and sensitivity
Intelligence: Enhances perception and mental power
And Zhang Wei's body is an evolutionary in the direction of intelligence, and his ability to perceive danger is higher than that of other evolutionaries at the same stage. But Wang Lao Wu didn't understand this ability, and was sure that there was nothing behind him, so he didn't say anything nervous, but was a little irritable: "Is there something wrong with this body?" ”
He attributed his uneasiness to his incompatibility with this body, but he didn't expect that it was this body that reminded him of danger.
However, at this moment, something suddenly grabbed his feet in the darkness.
His heart was pounding, and he was terrified to kick the thing away.
But how can a predator easily let go of his prey?
When Bai Xuan distributed all kinds of things in the toolbox to Jiang Xi, and the two of them counterattacked the zombie group in a similar way, she suddenly heard something say: "Someone is screaming." ”
Jiang Xi single-mindedly dealt with the zombies, trying to light a bottle downstairs. There are twelve of these things in a group, and when they are used up, they are less than one by one, so they have to save some use. After lighting a small piece of zombies downstairs, she had to reply: "What did you say?" ”
What happened to Wang Lao Wu, the two of them didn't know, and they didn't have time to care.
At that time, they try to make the best use of the resources they can to fight the danger in front of them. As for the result, the two of them dare not think about it.
Thanks to the diligence of Gao Qiang in the past, he cleaned up the zombies around him when he had nothing to do, so as not to make the zombie group in front of him endless.
When he came back to his senses, the east was white, and the zombies that rushed over were also scattered, and all he could see were mutilated corpses. They sat down exhausted and vomited.
It's just that the belly has long been empty. No matter how much you spit it out, it's only bitter water.
This most urgent night can be regarded as surviving.
"We've got to get them out of here." Jiang Xi wiped her face and jumped down from above.
Bai Xuan nodded hurriedly.
The two didn't have time to rest, so they had to work together to push open the big cabinet blocking the door.
pushed it open, only to see Qin Meifei holding Li Jincai and holding the rabbit Xiaoyu waiting breathlessly behind the door.
Seeing Jiang Xi, Concubine Qin opened her mouth, and her tears were even more turbulent: "Sister, I thought..."
She didn't feel well this night, Li Jin only had a fever in the middle of the night, she was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on, so she had to keep cooling him down. The rabbit Xiaoyu was also stunned in her sleep, closed her eyes and bit her leg with her front teeth, and as soon as she tore it off, it pounced viciously, so frightened that she didn't dare to close her eyes at all. In fact, I can't sleep with my eyes closed, there is fire and explosions outside...
Jiang Xi never liked this kind of stickiness, took Xiaoyu and touched it, feeling that its breath was more stable than yesterday before relieving her heart, and commanded Concubine Qin Mei: "Go and pack up some food and water, we have to leave quickly." ”
Last night's movement was too big, and there must have been a lot of survivors watching the excitement in the dark. At that time, the zombies were too dense, and they might not dare to approach. At this time, the sight is good at dawn, and the zombies are almost cleaned up, seeing that this group is weak and sick, maybe there will be people with dirty thoughts.
Taking advantage of this time to catch her breath, Bai Xuan opened her mouth to say something, Jiang Xi waved her hand to stop her, she had reminded Bai Xuan before that Huaibi was guilty, and it was not suitable for them to discuss this in front of others.
Bai Xuan wanted to speak and stopped, so he had to bite his lip.
Exchanging the items in the toolbox is not free, but requires the user to pay a price.
In addition to precious stones, agate, gold and silver, and scarce metals as exchange chips, parties can also use their own lifespans.
When he was surrounded by zombies before, Bai Xuan didn't have time to worry about this.
When the dust settled, the twenty-four items in the toolbox, including one B-class special item, two C-class special items, and twenty-one ordinary items, cost her a total of ten years of life.
Trade ten years of life for a chance at life. Whether this account can be paid or not, Bai Xuan knows very well.
It's just that how many decades does she think a person has?
She wanted to return this "universal toolbox" to Jiang Xi. For her, exchanging her life for supplies is the same as making a deal with the devil.
After the end came, she still tried to explain many things in a scientific direction, but as she saw all kinds of unexpected phenomena, it was difficult for past theories to support her cognition. Although she attributed the unexplainable phenomenon to "theology at the end of science", it did not give her relief.
This is the collapse of the beliefs of the past worldview.
Faith is a vague thing, and some people scoff at it, while others are spiritual supporters.
Bai Xuan felt that the pillar was gone.
However, there are no commands to remove the skills that have been equipped.
She looked at Jiang Xi again, the other party's face was very cold, although she had always been like this, but at this time, I don't know if it was a psychological effect, her face was even paler.
Bai Xuan couldn't help but say in her heart: "Will she think that I don't want to pay her back?" ”
"I remember there was a warehouse nearby. There was a lot of clothes in it. You're going to change clothes first? Li Jincai said.
The smell of blood in the place they were staying just now was too strong, and normal people didn't want to stay nearby except for zombies.
It's just that he didn't go far before a few sneaky figures appeared.
Li Jincai stopped vigilantly, and preemptively lit a bush next to him: "If you are not afraid of death, come here." ”
Those were ordinary survivors.
The first leader gritted his teeth, and had to say helplessly: "Wait." "These few people gradually retreated.
Bai Xuan was worried about Li Jincai's body and hurriedly asked, "Does it matter?" ”
Li Jincai's body didn't perform so well, it was the end of the crossbow just now, just to scare people.
He replied in a low voice, his face rather ugly, "I guess it won't last long." ”
This group of frail and sick people trembled and frightened to the warehouse that Li Jincai said.
It was indeed a clothing warehouse, but it had already been rummaged through when they came. There are footprints everywhere. Clothes of all colors were piled up on the ground like garbage. Some of the good ones have been picked up.
Concubine Qin Mei picked up one at random, and her delicate little face showed disgust: "What kind of person, I don't wear it myself and I don't ask others to wear it." ”
She was holding a grayish-yellow winter coat with a messy back that showed the cotton inside.
If you look closely, a lot of the clothes here are like that.
"People nowadays, it's like that. It's no good for yourself. and do not allow others to benefit. Li Jincai reluctantly accosted.
The two of them talked casually, but Bai Xuan, who was a listener, thought a little more, and looked at Jiang Xi from time to time, afraid that she would think too much.
After watching it more times, Jiang Xi felt that her cheeks were red. Fortunately, I am also a woman, otherwise I would have thought that the other party was in love with me.
Finally found a few pieces that could be put on his body, Li Jincai naturally avoided suspicion and went to the door, and Concubine Qin Mei hugged Xiaoyu and followed behind him.
Seeing that there were only two people left in the entire warehouse, Bai Xuan hurriedly spoke: "I'll take that thing." ”
"Don't worry, we'll think of another way later." Noticing that the anxiety on Bai Xuan's face had not eased, Jiang Xi continued while changing her clothes, "It's different now than before, since there are things that want people to live, there must also be things to increase lifespan." Don't be too uncomfortable, just let it be. ”
She wasn't sorry for the loss of a special item, but the other party thought it was a maggot on the tarsal bone.
Bai Xuan nodded blankly, then thought of something, and plucked up the courage to say to Jiang Xuan: "I didn't mean not to return your things." I really don't know how to get this thing down. You have to trust me. ”
"I believe in you." Jiang Ji said.
Xu is other party replied too quickly, Bai Xuan himself was incredulous: "Really... Are you sure? But seeing that Jiang Xi's expression was not fake, she breathed a sigh of relief, "As soon as I close my eyes now, I can see those dozens of grids." It's really crazy how much life it takes..."
I'm afraid that at this time, Bai Xuan hasn't realized what kind of treasure she has gotten, but instead chatters about the many unreasonableness of that thing.
Jiang Xi touched her waist, and the pistol she had changed out before was hidden under her clothes. It was to exchange for this kind of thing that was not usually seen, and Bai Xuan still didn't realize what the toolbox could bring.
If she could realize it, would she still be willing to return it?
Jiang Xi doesn't have many friends, which doesn't mean that she doesn't understand human nature.
She also went through a psychological struggle when she took out the card herself. Or in the case of the unknown properties of this special item and the critical situation around it.
Now that the dust had settled, she naturally had a longing for that thing.
Now she only needs to kill Bai Xuan with this pistol, and the universal toolbox will become an ownerless thing again, and she can turn it into a card and put it away.
But Jiang Xi just touched the pistol, and squatted down resentfully.
It happened that Bai Xuan looked over and thought she was unwell, so she asked nervously and with concern, "Are you okay?" Do you want to take a break first? ”
Jiang Ji replied, "I'm fine." ”
Bai Xuan still looked at her worriedly, and her beautiful face showed a bit of bodhisattva-like compassion: "You look very bad, maybe you are out of strength." Her gaze moved down and landed on Jiang Xi's close-fitting shirt, "Your clothes are a little thin, it's not a joke to be sick." I remember I saw a few sweaters just now, you put them on first..."
She said as she turned and rummaged through the pile of clothes.
Seeing the other party unsuspectingly exposing her back to herself, Jiang Xi couldn't tell whether she was innocent or innocent.
But she couldn't let her laugh at Bai Xuan, she was already ashamed of the idea of raising up to kill people and seize treasures just now.
It turned out that deep down, there was no difference between her and that Wang Lao Wu.
