Chapter 155: Apocalyptic Crisis (6)
Jiang Chengjun and the others really haven't slept so comfortably for a long time, and now they are lying on the soft bed, covered with a fresh and warm quilt, and they are also enjoying the 'luxury' treatment of a single room, and it is almost noon after they wake up.
Gu Yunqing knew that they shouldn't get up this morning, anyway, it was all physically demanding work in the afternoon, so let them rest well in the morning. So Gu Yunqing didn't call them, made breakfast by himself, and after eating, he took a book on the balcony to read.
"Yun Qing, got up so early?" Jian Xinyu was the first to come down, and she was a little surprised when she saw Gu Yunqing, but when she looked at the time of the clock on the wall, she touched her hair embarrassedly, "Huh? It's because we're up late. ”
Gu Yunqing put the book down and smiled, "It's okay, I understand." If you're hungry, eat something first, they may not be able to get up. ”
"Do you want it?" Jian Xinyu nodded and asked Gu Yunqing.
Gu Yunqing picked up the book and continued to read, "No need, I've already eaten it." ”
Originally, Jian Xinyu thought that Gu Yunqing asked them if anyone could cook, because Gu Yunqing couldn't cook, so she wanted to find someone who could cook. Now I heard that Gu Yunqing had breakfast by herself, and she was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, breakfast was relatively simple, and she didn't ask anything more.
It wasn't until later, after Jian Xinyu ate Gu Yunqing's own cooking, that she knew that it wasn't because she couldn't, but because she was too lazy! And eating Gu Yunqing's cooking, she regretted very much that she didn't find out the fact that Gu Yunqing was a hidden chef earlier!
After Lin Yu'an and a few people got up one after another, after a few people had lunch, Gu Yunqing was ready to take them out. In the last days, go out to fight monsters, no, it's fun to go out and fight zombies!
"You're all full, aren't you?" Gu Yunqing asked with a smile.
A few people nodded.
Gu Yunqing snapped his fingers, "Very good, let's go, take you to fight monsters!" ”
"Okay." Several people were more excited, and there was a feeling of playing games to break through the level.
"But before I go, I'll make a few requests." Gu Yunqing said, "Before leaving, you can choose a weapon to take advantage of, and after you meet zombies, unless your life is in danger, you must not use the ability, you can only use the weapon you choose." ”
"Okay!" Xu Fangning took the lead and said, "I was originally a spatial ability, and I couldn't use it when I was fighting zombies. But Yunqing, do you still have a machete? I want one too. ”
After hearing Jiang Chengjun's description of Gu Yunqing killing the Quartet with a machete, Xu Fangning fantasized that one day he could also kill zombies, so after hearing Gu Yunqing's request, he immediately responded.
“······ And also. Gu Yunqing was a little speechless.
Jiang Chengjun and Lin Yu'an also chose a machete, Jian Xinyu hesitated, and chose a mace that seemed to be more lethal, and Lin Nianyu chose a thinner iron mallet.
"Yun Qing, are you sure we can use this to kill zombies?" Lin Nianyu hesitated for a while, but still asked.
Gu Yunqing nodded, "Don't worry, there is me." ”
Hearing Gu Yunqing's words "with me", a few of them were like taking a reassuring pill, and their hearts were not panicked, although they didn't know why they had a mysterious trust in Gu Yunqing.
Gu Yunqing and the others drove over, parked the car in a private garage, and then went down to find zombies.
They came to the commercial street, and there were more zombies, and when they first arrived at the commercial street, they ran into a few zombies after they walked for a long time.
"Mainly attack the head of the zombie, the harder you smash it, the better, preferably the kind that goes straight to the head." Gu Yunqing sat on a chair outside a shop on the commercial street, not ready to participate in this battle, and gave tactical guidance on the side, "Go, I believe in you." ”
Looking at the oncoming zombies, Jiang Chengjun swallowed nervously, held his weapon tightly, and took a few deep breaths, as if cheering on himself.
There were three or four zombies, smelling the smell of the living and coming straight to Jiang Chengjun and them.
Jiang Chengjun, Xu Fangning, and Lin Yu'an gritted their teeth, took the lead in rushing forward, and took the machete to cut directly at the zombie's head. At the beginning, they were a little hesitant to hit the first hit, but when they found out that they had slashed at the zombie's head, the zombie suddenly stiffened for a few seconds, and they didn't hesitate to cut it.
And the more I fight, the more excited I become, and I feel that all the depression and worry in my heart since the end of the world have been cut out, although while hiding, I am still a little embarrassed to hide, and I hit the zombie's head hard, but this feeling is completely different from when I used the ability!
Jian Xinyu and Lin Nianyu hesitated, and hurriedly rushed forward with their weapons, although they were a little scared, but this was what they had to face after all. And they couldn't watch Jiang Chengjun and the three of them fight zombies indifferently, so the two of them rushed forward without hesitation.
Several people became more and more excited, and gradually entered the state, but there were more and more zombies, that is, none of the zombies came to attack Gu Yunqing, as if there was no such person as her.
"Left!" Gu Yunqing instructed on the side, "Hit him on the head, be careful······!"
After observing that the physical strength of several people had been almost exhausted, Gu Yunqing began to say, "Now that Xu Fangning has withdrawn, the others are trying to wrap the ability around their weapons······"
According to Gu Yunqing's guidance, several people quickly adjusted their combat methods, released their abilities, and then went to fight zombies, and then! They were surprised to find that not only was the ability attack very strong, but it was also very provincial, so if it continued, the ability consumption would definitely be much slower, and the time to fight zombies would naturally last a lot!
"Alright, that's all for today." Gu Yunqing looked at the zombies lying on the ground, and said with satisfaction, "Now feel what changes have occurred in your abilities?" ”
"Yun, Yunqing! My abilities seem to be more stable! There is also a tendency to strengthen! Jiang Chengjun shouted excitedly.
"Me too!" X4
Gu Yunqing smiled, "This is the purpose of calling you out." "Ability, I still need to practice.
"Wait a minute, Yunqing, I seem to have found a ······" Jian Xinyu said with some surprise, "Come and take a look, what is this?" I've never seen it before! ”
Gu Yunqing walked over and took a look, "Crystal nucleus??? ”
I didn't expect that now the zombies have evolved to have a crystal nucleus, although it is not pure enough, but it can still improve the ability! "Quick! Look for it, find all this kind of thing! ”
Although the other few people didn't know what the crystal nucleus was, they knew from Gu Yunqing's tone that this thing called the crystal nucleus must be very useful, and several people didn't hesitate and hurriedly looked for it in the loss.
They fought a total of twenty or thirty zombies, but the crystal nucleus only found ten.
Gu Yunqing looked at it and knew that this zombie evolution should be a part, so he probably knew it in his heart, "Let's go, go back first." ”
"What? Does this thing boost abilities? Jiang Chengjun couldn't believe what he heard, but when he saw Gu Yunqing's serious expression, he knew that this should be true.
Originally, they were going to get some supplies after fighting the zombies today, but they didn't expect Gu Yunqing to bring them back in a hurry, and his face was still very solemn, as if something big had happened.
Although the few of them didn't know what was going on, their trust in Gu Yunqing had already made it all up to Gu Yunqing without asking. After a few people arrived home, Gu Yunqing gathered them together, took out the things that had just been dug up from the zombies, and told them about it.
"We humans have abilities, but zombies are also evolved, and there may even be a zombie king. As you may have noticed, the zombies were weaker at first, but now they are getting stronger because they are evolving. Gu Yunqing said.
Seeing a few people nodding, Gu Yunqing continued, "And the crystal nucleus exists in the brains of zombies, and there was no crystal nucleus in the brains of zombies at the beginning, but with the evolution of zombies, what they have in their brains has crystal nuclei. And the higher the level of the zombie, the greater the energy contained in the crystal nucleus. ”
"Then how should we convert the energy in the crystal nucleus into our own use?" Lin Yu'an asked the key in one sentence, if this is really the case, then wouldn't their ability improve faster than others?
"That's a good question." Gu Yunqing smiled, "Let me ask you a question first, how do you think the ability should be improved?" ”
"You should practice more, after all, practice makes perfect." Jian Xinyu said with some hesitation, she didn't know much about it originally, but thinking of what Gu Yunqing took them out to do today, she made a bold guess.
Gu Yunqing glanced at Jian Xinyu with a smile, "That's right, practice more." ”
Then he immediately said with a serious face, "I do know the method of absorbing crystal nuclei, and I can tell you." ”
Looking at the unconcealed happiness on the faces of several people, Gu Yunqing continued, "However, you must promise me one thing. ”
"What's the matter? You just have to say it. Xu Fangning said quickly.
"First, don't rely too much on the Nucleus to boost your abilities, the tasks I've assigned to you must be completed." Gu Yunqing said.
"That's nature." Several people also tasted the sweetness today, knowing that Gu Yunqing's method was really useful, of course a few people had no other opinions.
"Second, the method of absorbing crystal nuclei cannot be easily told to others, unless it is a companion that we agree with." Gu Yunqing said. It's okay to say that she is selfish, anyway, she is not so kind, and she tells others such an important thing casually. There aren't many nuclei right now, but there are few people who know that they can increase their abilities, so you can get more now.
A few people nodded, it was originally Gu Yunqing's method, she was willing to tell them that it was already precious, they were not white-eyed wolves, nor were they Holy Mother, so naturally they would not spread this matter, otherwise wouldn't it hurt Gu Yunqing?
"Don't worry, we will never tell this matter, if there is any violation, you can deal with it."
Gu Yunqing saw the seriousness on their faces and smiled, "Okay, then I'll tell you the method, this is a crystal nucleus, one of you two, after eating, go to the room to absorb it yourself." ”
"All to us? What about you? Lin Nianyu asked, "We are together, of course we have yours, and thanks to you, we know that this thing is useful, how can we not give it to you?" ”
Several others also said.
Gu Yunqing waved his hand, "Now the energy of these crystal nuclei is not of much use to me, you can use them first, when there is a stronger level of crystal nuclei, I will not be polite." ”
Several people felt Gu Yunqing's seriousness, and they also nodded, and said in a firm voice, "Don't worry, we will definitely find a higher-grade crystal nucleus for you in the future." ”
"Okay, then I'll wait for you." Gu Yunqing said with a smile.
"Now, empty yourselves and concentrate your consciousness on the crystal nucleus in your hands······"
Jiang Chengjun and the five of them each held two crystal nuclei, listening to Gu Yunqing's guidance, trying to feel the feeling she said. It didn't take long for them to feel something, as if there was a mysterious power surging towards them in the crystal nucleus.
"I, I seem to feel it!" Lin Yu'an said in surprise.
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
Several people opened their eyes and looked at Gu Yunqing in surprise.
Being watched by them, Gu Yunqing felt as if she was about to melt into their gaze, and waved her hand with some disgust, "Okay, hurry back to your room and digest it." ”
Jian Xinyu and Lin Nianyu walked to Gu Yunqing's side and hugged Gu Yunqing, "Thank you, Yunqing!" ”
"Alright, let's go!" Gu Yunqing said.
Jian Xinyu and Lin Nianyu glanced at each other and kissed Gu Yunqing together.
Gu Yunqing was sneak attacked, and wiped the place that had been kissed by the two of them, "Okay, okay, kiss me with saliva on my face." ”
"Hahaha~" The two of them smiled and went back to the room.
As soon as a few of them entered, they didn't come out for two days, without eating or drinking, if Gu Yunqing couldn't feel the fluctuations of energy in the air, he would have thought that they were going to go crazy!
On the third day, Jiang Chengjun and the others finally came out one after another.
Later, for a period of time, Gu Yunqing would assign tasks to them every day, either going out to fight zombies, or practicing fists and feet at home, as well as knife skills, so that the abilities of several people were greatly improved.
"Yun Qing, can I discuss something with you." Jian Xinyu pulled Gu Yunqing aside and said.
Gu Yunqing noticed that Jian Xinyu was indeed a little absent-minded these days, and sometimes she wanted to stop talking, but she didn't say it, so Gu Yunqing thought that she had something private about, and it was not easy to take the initiative to ask. Now that Jian Xinyu took the initiative to come to her, she can be regarded as knowing the reason why Jian Xinyu is not giving up these days.
It turned out that Jian Xinyu also had a younger sister in their neighboring province, not far away, so she wanted to find her. At first, they weren't strong enough, and she wasn't too embarrassed to speak, but now, she suddenly had confidence.
"If it's inconvenient for you, I'll go by myself, and you wait for your brother here." Jian Xinyu's face turned red, and she always felt that she had relied on others to improve her abilities, and she would have to leave in a short time, so she was really a little ungrateful.
"I'll be back soon, and if I don't find her, I'll come back to you right away." Jian Xinyu said.
Gu Yunqing raised her hand and motioned for her to stop talking, "My brother will come over for a while, in that case, I'll go with you, anyway, it's not interesting to stay here." ”
"Really?" Jian Xinyu said in surprise, a little choked, "Thank you, Yun Qing, thank you very much." ”
"We'll go too!"
Jian Xinyu looked back and saw Lin Nianyu, Lin Yu'an, Jiang Chengjun, and Xu Fangning standing behind, smiling at her. "How can this kind of thing be without us?"
Jian Xinyu had tears in her eyes, "Thank you!" ”
Among several people, except for Jian Xinyu and his family, everyone else is alone, Lin Yu'an and Lin Nianyu have also depended on each other since childhood, so they are also people who have nothing to worry about and have nothing to worry about.
After the discussion, several people were ready to leave for Jian Xinyu's hometown the next day, regardless of whether her sister was still there, at least there was still hope before the accurate result was known.
Since they knew that Gu Yunqing's space could store things fresh, their ingredients and the like were all placed in Gu Yunqing's space. And Xu Fangning's space is filled with things for their daily use, as well as some dry food for emergencies.
When a few people left, Gu Yunqing took advantage of their lack of attention and set up a small maze in front of his villa to prevent someone from sneaking in while they were away.
A house is really nothing to care about in the last days, but the original owner's brother Gu Muyun still has to come to pick her up, so after they help Jian Xinyu find her relatives, no matter what the result is, they still have to come back.
"Sister Yu, how old is your sister this year?" Lin Nianyu looked at Jian Xinyu, who was a little nervous, and was ready to chat with her to relieve her nervousness.
Speaking of her sister, Jian Xinyu's tone was very gentle, "She is 16 years old this year and is in her second year of high school. ”
"Is she alone in her hometown?" Lin Nianyu asked, they knew that Jian Xinyu had no parents since she was a child, so they were a little puzzled why Jian Xinyu's sister was in her hometown, wasn't there no one there?
Jian Xinyu shook her head, "No, she lives with my uncle's family. ”
"Then your uncle and they are pretty good." Lin Nianyu said, "No one cared about my brother and me before, we were all self-reliant, and you were still quite lucky." ”
Jian Xinyu smiled bitterly, "How can there be such a good person, I have to pay them child support regularly every month, and my sister's tuition and living expenses are all paid by myself, and they live in our family's house." ”
This is another thing she is worried about, although the uncle and his family used to treat the two sisters well for the sake of money, but I don't know if the uncle will ······ now The only thing she was looking forward to now was for her sister to awaken her abilities, so that she could have a chance to protect herself.
In fact, Jian Xinyu didn't have much confidence in going this time, she knew that this time it was simply more than lucky, and in this last world, it was really difficult for ordinary people to live. She went on a trip this time, firstly, to confirm, and secondly, to make herself feel at ease. No matter what the result is, she can be regarded as having an explanation for herself.
Although Jian Xinyu was driving, there were no people on the road anyway, so she didn't have to worry too much about accidents. Lin Nianyu sat in the co-pilot and occasionally talked to her, which was considered a relief. The voices of the two people were relatively low, because Gu Yunqing was sleeping in the back.
Because of this, Jian Xinyu drove as steadily as possible, perhaps because they were lucky, and they didn't meet any zombies along the way.
Jiang Chengjun and the others drove in front, but the car that was originally driving in front suddenly stopped, Jian Xinyu suddenly stepped on the brakes, and he didn't have time to see what was happening in front of him, so he hurriedly looked back, "Yunqing, are you okay?" ”
With such a sudden brake, the person sleeping in the back is the most likely to be injured, and Lin Nianyu also looked back at Gu Yunqing anxiously.
"It's fine." Gu Yunqing didn't fall asleep at all, so she sat down when she felt that there was a situation, and the brakes didn't hurt her, but her body leaned forward a little because of inertia. "Let's go down and see what's going on, shall we?"
Needless to say, Jian Xinyu and Lin Nianyu were also going down to ask Jiang Chengjun, who was driving in front, what was going on.
"What's going on?" After the three of them went down, they walked to Jiang Chengjun and their car, and saw a girl falling in front of their car, and a girl helping her beside her, is this the legendary "touching porcelain"?
Jiang Chengjun was also relieved when he saw Jian Xinyu and them, "We drove the car well just now, these two little girls didn't know where they came from, but fortunately, I braked in time, so there was no accident." ”
"What else," Jian Xinyu glanced at Jiang Chengjun, "Yun Qing was sleeping in the car just now, and this brake almost didn't hit!" ”
"Huh? Yun Qing, are you okay? Jiang Chengjun immediately asked in a panic, "It's all my fault, I didn't concentrate on driving ······."
Gu Yunqing shook his head, "I'm fine." She gestured with her eyes, "Let's deal with the matter in front of us first." ”
"Two girls, are you alright?" Xu Fangning asked with a smile, but the vigilance in his heart was not missing at all, the two girls who suddenly appeared, if he wanted to say that he was not tired, he was the first to believe it.
The girl who fell said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that my knee is broken." I don't blame you, it's because I'm too cowardly, I'm scared, it's not your car that hit me. ”
"I'll just say, I didn't hit her at all!" Jiang Chengjun said.
“······”
Jiang Chengjun found that the eyes of others looking at him were a little indescribable, he scratched his head and whispered, "I'm not wrong." ”
"Anyway, it was we who caused the two girls to get hurt." Xu Fangning said, "In this way, we still have some wound medicine in the car, so I'll give it to you, just apply it for a day or two." ”
"No, no, no!" The girl waved her hand, "It's just a little injury, but do we want to take a ride?" Just drop us down at your next resting place, we want to collect some supplies somewhere else. ”
"This ······" Xu Fangning was a little hesitant, he always felt that something was wrong.
"Let them sit up." Gu Yunqing said, "Since we were injured, let's let them hitchhike, it's not far away, there is a service area in about twenty minutes." ”
Seeing Gu Yunqing say this, Xu Fangning immediately agreed, "Those two will be our car." "The one in the back, Gu Yunqing, still has to sleep, of course it is inconvenient for them to go.
"Thank you then." The two girls said gratefully.
In this way, the group continued on the road again.
"Yunqing, why did you agree with them to get in the car? I always felt like something was wrong with them. Lin Nianyu asked.
Of course, Gu Yunqing knew that something was wrong with these two girls, two women with no abilities appeared on the road unscathed, this place is not in front of the village, there is no store in the back, it is not right at first glance.
And the two girls looked at her just now with the wrong eyes, and there was jealousy and resentment in them. Although she didn't know these two girls, she also knew that the comers were not good.
