Episode 81: Crystal Nucleus, City
"What is this?"
Looking at the prismatic crystal that rolled out of the red-eyed zombie's head, Cheng Fei's face was full of curiosity, he pulled a piece of cloth from a corpse on the side, and picked up the prismatic crystal with little wings.
"Could it be that this is the crystal nucleus often mentioned in post-apocalyptic novels?"
The crystal in front of me, about the size of an adult's thumb, is an irregular prism, the whole body is light red, crystal clear, like jade, there seems to be liquid flowing inside, and it is strange in an instant.
Cheng Fei held it in front of him, looked at it and looked at it, and his brain opened for a while: "How is this thing usually used in novels?
As soon as this thought emerged, Cheng Fei hurriedly overthrew it, it was too unreliable, not to mention that there may be a large number of meteorite viruses attached to this crystal nucleus, such a big one, and hard as a stone, how could he eat it in his stomach?
"Why don't you make a hole in your body and bury it directly?"
Cheng Fei hurriedly shook his head, numb, if he did this, his brain would definitely be in water.
However, although the purpose of this crystal nucleus is unknown at the moment, he believes that this thing must have its use, but he has not yet found a way to use it. His mind moved, and at that moment, he wiped the brain plasma and blood stains on the crystal nucleus, put it into a mineral water bottle, and sealed it.
Set off again, about ten minutes later, Cheng Fei encountered a few zombies again, wandering around a broken car that was almost scrapped, this time, he was much more careful, like facing a great enemy. No way, who makes it look like an ordinary zombie is no different from a special zombie.
Progress, Raid!
Split, swing a knife!
This time, the shot was unexpectedly smooth, but with three strokes and five divisions of two, he cut all those zombies under the knife.
"Hoo .........."
While being a little disappointed, Cheng Fei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, which at least showed that there were not as many special zombies as he imagined, so it could be regarded as good news for him and for the survivors of this world.
After solving the zombies, Cheng Fei habitually stepped forward to check the car.
The car was really dilapidated, and there was a strong smell of corpses, and he didn't find any useful materials, but there was a key inserted in the car, and he tried to twist it, but he didn't expect it to really start.
"Woo woo........"
The sound of the engine starting came into his ears, and Cheng Fei was suddenly excited, and the heavy mood of the red-eyed zombie that he had encountered before disappeared without a trace.
This car came too timely, although it was a little broken and full of corpse smell, but it was not unbearable, it was a big deal to bring a mask.
He really has this thing, it was turned over in those cars on the road before, and it just so happened that there was still room for his backpack, so he simply brought it with him, and now it can come in handy.
Perhaps, it is precisely because the car is so dilapidated that it has not been patronized by passing survivors, not only can it start normally, but also there is still most of the fuel in the tank, and Cheng Fei can finally drive the car on the road.
Although the car does not even have a hood or windshield, it can still drive normally. It's just that there is no windshield and you can't open it too fast.
In fact, even if the car is as good as new, Cheng Fei doesn't dare to drive too fast, this is not the highway before the end of the world, and it can be driven unimpeded. Nowadays, on this highway, there is a possibility of damaged vehicles at any time, as well as zombies wandering around, these are all obstacles, driving too fast, is equivalent to self-defeat.
But even so, having a car is stronger than walking on two legs, and not talking about speed, at least, can reduce Cheng Fei's physical exertion.
The world is full of dangers, and it's important to try to stay at the top of your game. Plus, with a car, he can carry more supplies, of course, if he can find them.
Driving forward, stop-and-go, on the way, Cheng Fei encountered some stops, and did not forget to collect, although he had been patronized, he could still have some gains.
A quilt, a few small bags of food, some gasoline........ The most important thing is that he found himself a hood and a windshield, although only roughly closed, but at least to fill the gap in the car.
In this way, after about two or three hours of walking, there was still no sign of the town in sight, but night fell again.
This is the third night that Cheng Fei has come to this world, and with a car, he doesn't have to bother looking for a place to stay at night.
Parked the car on the side of the road, blocked the gaps in the car with the debris collected halfway, and Cheng Fei fell asleep directly on the back seat of the car.
It's not as good as setting up a tent on the roof of a gas station, but it's much better than sleeping on a tree branch.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Cheng Fei woke up, just like the previous two days, outside the car, more than a dozen zombies gathered, roaring and slapping the car, wanting to rush in.
There is no way, who has strengthened Cheng Fei's body several times, and the qi and blood of people who practice martial arts are strong, for zombies, it is simply an irresistible delicious temptation.
Therefore, the zombies passing by will inevitably be attracted to it.
Cheng Fei had already begun to get used to this, so he ate breakfast very calmly, and then pulled out the Hanguang Treasure Knife, pushed the car door, and had a fight.
The people around the car were all ordinary zombies, otherwise it would be impossible to allow Cheng Fei to sleep peacefully in the car until dawn, plus the number was not very large, and the battle lasted less than a minute, and Cheng Fei finished his work.
Returning the knife to the sheath, Cheng Fei dragged away the zombie corpse that was blocking the front of the car, and then continued to drive forward. Stop and stop all the way, until noon, the silhouette of a large city looms ahead.
On the fourth day of coming to this world, Cheng Fei finally saw the familiar human city, and although it was still far away, he still felt very happy.
After passing through the toll booth and driving forward, some high-rise buildings, factories, and residential areas had begun to appear on both sides of the highway, and Cheng Fei subconsciously slowed down his speed.
Is he hesitating to move on?
Further on, it is the urban area, in a big city like this, there will definitely be a large group of zombies, and even, there are many special zombies, in case of encountering, even with his strength, he is not sure that he will be safe and sound.
However, because of this, there must be a lot of useful things to be found in the urban area, unlike the suburbs, where the vast majority of places have most likely been swept by survivors.
"Danger often goes hand in hand with opportunity, even in order to complete the task. ”
After hesitating for a long time, Cheng Fei still made a decision to go to the city to search for supplies. However, he wasn't going to drive the broken car into town.
The engine of the car is too loud, driving into the city, it will definitely attract a large number of zombies to besiege, in the state of unclear situation, he still walks safely, with his skills, what danger is really encountered, it is also convenient to deal with.
On the side of the road, after Cheng Fei parked the car, he pulled out the key, and opened the hood and windshield that were closed thickly, which was considered camouflage, which was also a back road he left for himself, of course, if possible, he hoped that this back road would never be used.
"It's time to go!"
After sorting out his packing again, after confirming that there was nothing missing, Cheng Fei took a deep breath, and waited until the emotions in his heart gradually calmed down, and then strode towards the city!
