Chapter 12: Peach City! The Great War is coming!
Early morning.
Grandpa's room.
Beside the roaring fireplace.
Li Tomato and Iron Head, side by side, looked at the same book.
Grandpa sat across from him, pointing to books and teaching them to read.
Grandpa reads a sentence, and they read a sentence.
"One to two or three miles."
"One to two or three miles."
"There are four or five smoke villages."
"There are four or five smoke villages."
That's right, the book they read was the first volume of primary school Chinese.
In front of the windowsill, Bai Kabu hugged his laptop.
The little girl Bai Chino, her head rested on her brother's shoulder.
After the death of the Corpse King, the settlement quickly returned to its former peace.
There are still so many zombies in the industrial park.
One by two, white kabu can be easily solved.
If dozens or hundreds of zombies pounced on him together, he still couldn't beat them.
The system has not published any more tasks.
He has no way to become stronger.
All the cans that can be opened are opened.
The weather is getting colder and colder.
But Bai Kabu always felt that his heart was empty, as if something was missing.
The siblings are browsing the official website of the Rescue Group.
Homepage, first article, "The Battle of Peach City".
“……
According to the judgment of experts, after half a month, the sleeping Taocheng Ancient Corpse King will wake up!
Mr. Stopwatch personally decided, the hour hand manager led the team, and the Corpse King's crusade department was dispatched, a total of eighty evolutionaries, and they must kill the Ancient Corpse King of Taocheng!
……”
Enter the chat room.
The messages scrolled by quickly, and it was very lively.
"The network signal of the Taocheng battlefield is connected!"
"Bronze Evolvers equipped with smartphones can come and chat in the group!"
"More and more ordinary zombies have become corpse kings."
"Zombies are everywhere, and there are as many corpse kings as dogs."
"Are we enough?"
"It's not just us, the Violet Society, the Fortuna Studio, and the Wasteland Gas Station all have people coming."
"And a lot of evolutionaries from small settlements."
Suddenly, an administrator pins a message.
"It is suspected that the white-scaled corpse king has been discovered! Everyone, be on your guard! Don't enter the inner city of Taocheng just yet! ”
The chat room was quiet for a long time.
This corpse king, codenamed White Scale, is very weird!
It had fallen under the encirclement of the salvation group.
But he broke through the encirclement and ran away.
The weirdest thing is that this guy, as a zombie, can actually speak!
It's crazy when you think about it!
"Don't be afraid, we have a needle manager here!"
"I'm afraid that there will be a lot of corpse kings from all walks of life."
A user with the nickname "Iron Army" sends a message.
"Our trio has rushed to the outskirts of Taocheng."
"The Iron Army went to Peach City? Is the heart empty? ”
Tie Jun made a laughing emoji.
"That's right. We don't mix with the crusade of the corpse king, just on the periphery, cleaning up ordinary zombies. ”
Bai Kabu sat in front of the window, holding the computer, watching intently.
Tietou and Li Tomato beside him are still learning to read.
Ding——
【Super Mushroom System】
[Mission: Cultivating Spore Revolver (0/1)]
[Quest Item: Spore Revolver Spore x1, Steak Mushroom Spore x1, Sprite Mushroom Spore x1]
[Deadline: None]
[Mission Description: The Spore Revolver is an even more powerful super mushroom, but only corpse embryo cells can help it grow.] Ask the host to collect two kilograms of cadaveric embryonic cells and successfully cultivate them. 】
[Reward: For every gram of corpse embryo cells obtained, the agility attribute is rewarded with 0.05]
Bai Kabu was stunned.
The long-awaited mission is finally here!
But two kilograms of necrosis cells?
Isn't this amount too exaggerated?
The corpse king who was killed before has a total of 50g in his body.
The system asks him to kill forty corpse kings?
Spore revolver, it looks, like a good thing.
Agility attribute is even more good!
He thought about it.
Since there are as many corpse kings in Taocheng as dogs......
Why don't you take a trip to Peach City?
Open the Rescue Group's digital map.
The Star Cotton Mill is already registered on it.
Taocheng, and Xingxing Cotton Mill are in the same fruit province, located two hundred miles south.
Two hundred miles? How does this go?
There is a van!
"I don't know if that car can still be driven."
Even if you can drive, the car has to burn oil?
There are gasoline mushrooms!
What to eat along the way?
Steak mushrooms!
What to drink along the way?
Sprite mushrooms!
"System, steak mushrooms, Sprite mushrooms, gasoline mushrooms, how do you grow them?"
[Unless otherwise specified, the spores provided by this system are all based on zombie carrion.] 】
Zombie?
This stuff is everywhere!
"Peach City ......"
……
Click.
Click.
Cracked roadside.
The white kabu broke the canned vines that wrapped the van one by one.
Although the canned vine was as hard as an old tree root, at this time, his strength was enough for a hundred points.
It's a breeze!
A few minutes later, the van was stripped of its clothes and appeared in front of him.
Streamlined body, with a few more dimples.
The silvery-white paint peels off in a large area, revealing rusty sheet metal, like a skin disease.
But the kind of industrial beauty that came from before the catastrophe still made Bai Kabu sigh.
"It's kind of handsome!
"The headlights are like two big eyes!
"A house that can run!"
Check it out.
The tires are stiff, not aging, and not even leaking.
Climb in through the sunroof and find the key in the driver's seat.
He doesn't know how to drive, but he can learn.
In his arms, he took out a book, which had been opened from the can, "Car Driving Guide".
Screw the key and start.
The car did not respond.
"Huh? Is it broken? ”
He opened the "Car Driving Guide" and flipped through it.
"I can't start, what's going on......
"What's the matter if you can't catch fire......
"Oh, probably, the battery is dead!
"Battery backup is needed."
In the wasteland world, where to get batteries?
He looked at the color pictures on the pages of the book, and suddenly felt that this thing called "battery" was a little familiar.
"Is that thing in the trunk?"
I got out of the car and went to the trunk, and sure enough, I found a black box, which was similar to the battery picture in the book.
"Well, thank you for leaving me this car!"
Pick up the black box, follow the instructions in the book, and start changing.
He didn't have a wrench, but he had a lot of hands.
There is no screwdriver, but there is a western knife.
Spread out the book in the van seat, take a look at the explanation in the book, and operate it once.
"Open the engine compartment......
"Loosen the negative joint nut......
"Disassemble the negative connector......
The book is full of pictures and texts, and although the car in the picture is not exactly the same as this van, Bai Kabu can understand it.
Not long after, get the battery.
In the trunk, there was also a barrel of unopened gasoline.
Thanks again to the big brother who left this car!
Also follow the instructions in the book, open the gas tank and fill it with some gasoline.
Wipe your hands, get into the driver's seat, and twist the keys.
The roar of the engine, sounded.
White Kabu grinned.
"It can really be opened!"
Refreshing.
"And then?"
He spread out the book and put it on the wheel.
"Step on the clutch ......"
"Clutch? Under the soles of the feet? Which piece?
"Gear......
"Is this it?"
"Turn on the turn signal ......"
After tossing for half an hour, the van stalled several times, and finally got off to a successful start and ran slowly onto the road.
White Kabu grinned, revealing his big white teeth.
"Successfully won!"
Based on the experience over the years, choose the road with the fewest zombies and drive to the settlement.
The driving skills are rusty, and driving feels amazing.
But fortunately, the road is relatively empty.
Along the way, there are still more than a dozen zombies attracted by the sound of cars.
"Just need zombie carrion."
Or kick the accelerator, crash into the air, and run over again.
Or roll down the window, stick out your arm, and shoot the mushroom.
When he returned to the vicinity of the settlement, the roof of his car was full of two large woven bags of zombie carrion.
"Mushroom medium, there it is!"
Hide the van outside the grass field.
Take a trip back to the settlement.
After a while, the brother and sister came out.
Wear all your clothes and bulge.
Bai Kabu carries an electric frying pan in his left hand and two fast food cups in his right hand.
White Chino hugging a quilt.
When they came to the van, the brother and sister made some operations to put things in.
Then go to the zombie carrion on the roof of the car and plant mushroom spores.
It was nearly dusk.
"I'll leave early tomorrow morning."
"Oh."
……
Under the night sky.
Peach City, Central Square.
Hundreds of years ago, there was a musical fountain here.
There were singers who sang, there were frolicking children, and there were lively square dances......
But by this time, it had turned into a huge pothole.
The concrete floor cracked into countless pieces.
Scarlet mist evaporated.
The mist drifted away with the night wind, diluted into the air, and gradually lost its color.
But they still exist after all.
They float through the streets and alleys of Peach City.
They burrowed into the nostrils of one ordinary zombie after another.
Some zombies immediately decomposed, collapsed, and turned into meat scraps.
There are also zombies, in the roar, bear the pain, mutate out of the corpse embryo cells in the body, get the surrender of other zombies, and be promoted to the corpse king!
Then, each of the new corpse kings turned around and faced the central square.
As if under command.
As if it were supposed to be.
Take big or small steps.
At a faster or slower pace.
There are roads to walk, but there are no roads to break walls.
Go, Central Square!
On the periphery of the central square, there are more and more corpse kings, more and more.
Form a wall of corpses first.
Then form a moat.
The corpse kings were standing, sitting, or lying, some stacked on top of each other, some riding on the necks of other corpse kings, and some burrowing under the crotches of other corpse kings...... It's messy, it's dense.
To the northwest of the square, dozens of floors and hundreds of meters of high-rise buildings still stand.
Roof.
A young man in a crisp suit, standing with his chest crossed.
The corpse king under the tall building is densely packed, and only a vague outline can be seen in the night.
The smell of corpses wafted to his nose.
When the Salvation Group found out, the corpse kings had already gathered in a horde, and they could no longer be cleaned up.
I had to temporarily attack the newborn corpse king in the city.
"This group, after that, and the ancient corpse king, will be served in a pot."
He frowned and muttered softly.
On the right wrist, a watch, a luminous dial, emitting a glowing green light.
He is the manager of the Rescue Syndicate's crusade department, named Hour Hand.
He's waiting.
Wait for the Ancient Corpse King to wake up, and wait for the Ancient Corpse King to break through the ground.
The Ancient Corpse King, who had just broken the ground, was the most vulnerable.
It must be killed on the spot and left in Peach City!
