Pearl Plaza is now ushering in its first batch of normal people today.

Jiang Xi and Bai Xuan quickly crossed the square and reached the southeast corner, where the lake where the mutant fish were caught was located.

Although on the way, there were also a few scattered zombies. But apparently they are just fish that have slipped through the net after being cleaned up, and they are not worth mentioning.

"It's a little weird. I always felt like someone was watching us. Jiang Ji said.

The square is surrounded by no obstruction, except for a circle of green trees, and only a row of residential buildings 100 meters away.

It was the building that Wang Lao Wu destroyed with special items before.

But half of the building itself was hit by a doomsday meteorite, and there are still sporadic flames that have not been extinguished. Most of the gases produced by the combustion of construction materials are harmful to people, and people with a little common sense will not hide in them.

As for the other nearby buildings, which is their own way of coming from - the Convergence Hotel is a high-rise building.

It seems that there are really people living in the hotel, and at this time they are staring at the two of them condescendingly.

The gaze that can produce a clear perception is obviously mixed with a lot of emotions.

She subconsciously looked back at the hotel, and the tofu-like windows seemed to be staring at her with wide eyes. After such a cursory glance, it was impossible to see which person was behind the window.

"Don't be too nervous." Bai Xuan looked around vigilantly, compared to the distant scrutiny, she was currently more worried about a zombie or mutated animal coming out from behind the grass. "Did you find anything? It smells stronger here than it was yesterday. ”

No, but in one day, the smell of this artificial lake is even stronger.

The two women couldn't help but wear their scarves on the stench, but the foul smell still drilled through the cracks in the fabric and into their nostrils, reminiscent of dozens of soccer players crammed into a cramped room that had just taken off their shoes.

Bai Xuan suddenly thought of something, and said in a humming voice: "If he knew that we fished fish from the stinky ditch for him to eat, would he be angry?" ”

"It's hard to say." Jiang Ji said. "It's a question of whether you can catch one now."

The two of them were already standing at the water's edge, but they shivered together.

The water that had been red became so clear that you could see the bottom of the water at a glance—dozens of dark shadows about the length of an adult facing the shore.

Sensing the approaching creatures, several mutant fish jumped out of the water and rushed towards them, and at that moment, they could see the steel-like fangs in their gaping mouths.

If it weren't for Jiang Xi, she felt something was wrong the moment she got closer, and pulled Bai Xuan back as soon as possible. I'm afraid that both of them will be dragged into the icy lake by this group of things at this moment.

With a missed blow, the mutant fish wagged their tails violently and retreated into the water in a strange twisted position. Very decisive.

Compared to the chaos of the previous day, they were unusually calm this time.

Not only in terms of size and attack power, but also in terms of the IQ of this mutant fish.

They have given up killing each other, instead choosing to stay together by the lake and wait for their approaching prey.

It's no wonder that it took a year after the end of the apocalypse to eat mutated animals to become the main source of power, and at present, it seems that with the evolution speed of animals, the evolution speed of humans in the early days cannot be compared to it. Not only is there no ability to fight, but at this moment, there is a vague trend of the identities of the hunter and the hunter.

"Luckily they can't swim up. Otherwise, we—" Bai Xuan wished to move farther away from the water, patting his chest and rejoicing.

Jiang Xi didn't talk. Because she knew that the content of Bai Xuan's rejoicing was only temporary.

If the food in the water does not satisfy the mutant fish, sooner or later they will also come ashore to hunt in order to survive.

In the apocalypse, there are a lot of evolutionary factors in the air, and it is only a matter of time before fish evolve the ability to "breathe in the air".

At this moment, Bai Xuan was a little trembling, I don't know if it was cold or afraid, she looked at Jiang Xi with a thoughtful face, and said softly: "Let's give up." "At this stage, any more insistence will only cost you your life.

Jiang Xi stared at the surface of the water and was silent for a long time, she seemed to be able to feel that the group of mutant fish were staring at her with the same gaze underwater.

She suddenly said, "Don't you still have two grenades there?" ”

Before the apocalypse, Bai Xuan was still an ordinary student in the university school, but in half a month, she had to adapt to her new identity - bombardier.

Although she kept reassuring herself, it was okay, she just had to pull the bad away and throw it into the water.

- At least that's what Jiang Ji told her.

"If you throw it in the water, will it go out?" She couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Ji said: "No." One is because of the design, it doesn't come in so quickly. The second is that some grenades do not require air to explode. ”

"Okay." Bai Xuan told herself that she would succeed. But the hand holding the grenade couldn't help but tremble. It's winter, and there are a lot of sweat stains for a while. She was embarrassed, "I want to brew it." ”

After brewing again, Li Jin has to stop cooking.

Jiang Xi wanted to say, why don't you let me come.

But looking at Bai Xuan's meaning, he insisted on doing it himself.

It's finally a little useful, so do you deliberately show it?

This is a conjecture obtained from Bai Xuan's behavior. But this thought only flashed in her mind, and she crushed it.

She waited patiently for a while, then nodded to Bai Xuan encouragingly.

After waiting for a minute or two, I saw the silly girl take a deep breath, then let out a scream, and run towards the lake with a grenade in her charge.

She couldn't help but remind: "Pull the ring!" ”

"Oh? Oh! Good. ”

"-Pull it, throw it, throw it, throw it-" Jiang Xi couldn't help but scream.

At this time, however, an explosion sounded.

She was silent.

Immediately after, he hurriedly ran towards Bai Xuan.

At the same time, a huge shockwave brought the mutant fish and the lake water into a large waterfall, pouring blood on both of them.

She couldn't care about so much, and trembled and broke Bai Xuan's body over.

Bai Xuan was already frightened, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. The grenade she threw out only two seconds before it exploded. If it's too late, the consequences...

"You? You okay? Seeing that she was still in a daze, Jiang Xi couldn't help but shake her.

At this time, Bai Xuan was a little human, hugged Jiang Xi suddenly, and then cried loudly: "It's successful, I've succeeded."

This is even more rewarding than fighting zombies all night together.

"Okay, okay, are you really okay? Is there any discomfort in your body? The distance of the explosion was too close, and Jiang Xi was still worried that there was something wrong with Bai Xuan.

"It's fine. I'm fine. Bai Xuan wiped her face and stopped sobbing.

She looked around at the scattered pieces of fish that had been blown up to the shore—some of them were still dying, and she couldn't help but ask stupidly, "It's all like this, can you still eat it?" ”

"We don't have to do it by hand. You think it's a wet market. Jiang Xi didn't feel bad, people who had already seen the pile of flesh and blood had a kind of numb habit of this kind of scene.

"Don't be stunned, take advantage of the freshness, and quickly pick it up." She took out the plastic bag she had prepared in advance and picked up a few catties in one go. In this process, you still have to be careful of the blade-like scales and bones on the fish's body.

Bai Xuan saw that she had made a sample, and she also followed behind to pick it up.

I have to say that the power of this grenade is indeed terrifying, and the fish that is blown up are divided into several sections, and the pieces of flesh and blood are blurred. To the touch, there is even a little residual heat.

The two of them picked up happily, and suddenly a roar made them turn around in unison.

But I saw a zombie crawling out from behind the flower bed not far away. Apparently attracted by the explosion just now.

This is still a power zombie, almost two meters in size. Maybe the original body had a good physique, but now that he is tall, his body is as thick as a mountain, and his exposed arms are as thick as Jiang Xi's two legs, and his head is crawling with black blood vessels as thick as earthworms. The most speechless thing is that it also has a steel helmet tied to its head.

The zombies with a big physique, strong strength, and protection from weak points, how to start?

"Don't pick it up yet, we have to go!" Jiang Xi grabbed Bai Xuan, pulled her legs and ran, suddenly widening the distance between herself and the zombie.

The zombie ran over quickly, took a deep breath in the place where they had just stayed, and the action was like that of a dog. But it was clear that something else had attracted it, and it was getting closer to the lake.

"Do zombies eat fish?" With the power of the grenade just now, I am afraid that the mutant fish in the water have suffered at this moment, even if they are immortal, they will almost be blown out - it is the meat of the fish that can be slaughtered.

However, Jiang Xuan herself is not sure about Bai Xuan's question.

All she knew was that zombies seemed to prefer to eat people to mutated animals.

In the nightmare about the last three years, the zombie horde is a headache, of course, it is not endless, and there are all kinds of mutated animals and plants that feed on humans.

And whether they will kill each other, human beings don't need to care, after all, human flesh and blood are to them like Tang monk's flesh to monsters, and the result is the same for whoever falls into their hands.

As the two looked at each other suspiciously, the zombie ran to the lake and did the same thing as them - picking up fish. However, they picked it up and pretended it, and the zombie was stuffed directly into their mouths and chewed it in large gulps.

Such a scene made Jiang Xi's body stiffen, and she had an ominous premonition.

Suddenly, Bai Xuan patted her on the shoulder, pointed to the factory not far from them, and said, "Is that a bus?" ”

The buildings in the factory area are not very tall, but it is dangerous to explore an unfamiliar area these days.

But isn't the most distressing thing about the lack of a means of transportation?

"I'll wait until I help Li Jin to go over and have a look." Jiang Ji said, "The water in our body is so cold that we can't stand it, so we have to change our clothes quickly." ”

In fact, Jiang Xi is okay, the distance is a little farther, and Bai Xuan is drenched thoroughly from head to toe.

With that, the two of them quickly returned.

Walking through the lobby, Bai Xuan went straight to the third floor to change clothes, while Jiang Xi went to check the situation of the restaurant.

But as soon as she passed, she saw two men standing at the door of the restaurant, which had been locked. One is tall, the other is short.

The two were talking about something, and when they saw her coming, they nodded lightly, which was regarded as a greeting.

One of the men understood what she was coming from and said to her, "If you want to use the kitchen, I'm afraid you'll have to go to the second floor." ”

Jiang Xi swept a scene through the gap between them—in the thin light, a large patch of crushed flesh stuck to the tiled wall. She understood what was going on inside, nodded and turned to go upstairs.
