Chapter 55: Self and Outsiders

The next day, early in the morning.

The sky was darker than yesterday's, and there was a cool breeze blowing with occasional light rain.

It seems that there are only two kinds of weather in the last days, either cloudy, rainy, or snowy in winter.

And twenty kilometers outside the exit of the base.

The location of the city's highway entrance.

With the sound of the 'boom' engine, a 'large armored truck' was leading the way into the city, followed by twelve small modified vehicles, and further behind, an equally large armored truck pressed into formation.

"Tell the car in front and keep going deeper."

Zhao Zhou stood on the roof of the last armored truck, holding a longbow in his hand and a steel bar on the string, and asked an evolutionary with a homemade intercom next to him to inform the driver of the 'armored car' in the convoy to move on.

And the purpose of going deep into the city today is that Zhao Zhou wants to use the 'distress radio message' transmitted in this section of the city to rescue some industry talents, and then gather some evolutionaries who are not yet dead, and expand the scale of the base, so as to hunt evolved beasts on a large scale, cultivate Tai Sui, and ensure the supply of medicinal materials in the future.

In this way, there is a stable rear, a stable supply base for medicinal herbs.

Zhao Zhou can also occasionally go to various large base cities, or go to the big forest to venturize, without killing an evolution beast, he has to wait in front of the corpse for several months to protect Tai Sui's safety.

"Manpower will eventually run out. Although I alone can navigate the last days, I can't make the most of the resources here. But if there is a large cultivation base to provide me with the Tai Sui after cultivation. If I kill the Evolution Beast, it can be used as a picnic meal, or I can go to a city once in a while, find some good wine, and have fun. ”

Zhao Zhou was concentrating on two things, thinking about the future Tai Sui plan, and at the same time observing the situation of the convoy at any time to prevent anyone from escaping or mutiniing.

Similarly, all the people in this convoy were all evolutionaries, beast tamers, and ordinary survivors who wanted to besiege Zhao Zhou yesterday.

Except for a few people who escaped last night and on the way out today, they were all here.

Now, no matter how resentful and regretful they are, they looked at the longbow in Zhao Zhou's hand, anyway, they didn't dare to run away, they listened to Zhao Zhou's words very much, and marched towards the city safely, searching for talents who were more useful than them.

'Stampede'

After the convoy completely got off the highway and continued to go deeper into the somewhat dilapidated city streets for a kilometer or two, there was a roar accompanied by scattered footsteps.

Many zombies with hollow eyes and dry eyes also walked out of the shops on both sides, or in some small alleys, wandering in the middle of the road where the weeds suddenly cracked the ground, and looked at the convoy of Zhao Zhou and others, there were more than 100 of them.

However, with armored trucks out of the way, the hundreds of zombies on these streets pose little threat at all.

As soon as they approached the front of the convoy, they were easily taken by the open truck, crushed into mud, blood splattered on the old and rusty vehicles all around.

Puff –

The convoy behind pressed again, some of the dead on the road, and the struggling zombies were crushed by the multi-ton modified vehicles, squeezed by the huge force, the black and red blood in the abdominal cavity mixed with the internal organs burst, covering the ground, the weeds wheels were also crushed, and the bloodstained branches and leaves were dotted with holes.

But also with the smell of blood permeating the city with the convoy.

The sound of 'stampeding' footsteps and bursts of roars grew more and more intense.

After three or four kilometers into the city, the wheels and bodies of the trucks that opened the road were full of minced meat, and the front was already full of zombies densely surrounded, and the distance was still coming, and there were more than a thousand of them!

This is still on the edge of the city, there are still more than 30 kilometers away from the city center, and the zombies have already begun to increase, and there is a faint roar in the distance, it should be that other zombies have also heard the roar of the convoy and are rushing in this direction.

For a while, it was a bit difficult to move an inch.

"Die!"

With a roar, many of the evolutionaries opened the windows of their cars a little, drew their weapons, and slashed at the hordes of zombies that were striking the vehicles.

But more people are timid in their hearts and don't know what to do.

"Master Zhao, there are more and more zombies now, aren't we..."

"Kill it." Zhao Zhou, who was in the convoy, looked at the surrounding streets, and saw the corpses pouring around, and they also suddenly stepped on the roof of the car, fell into the corpses, reversed the bow, stroked, and slammed, the bone cracking sound of 'click', the zombie's limbs were shattered, and a circle with a diameter of two meters was drawn in the range where it landed.

Then, Zhao Zhou kept killing again, holding the bow obliquely, killing all the way from the rear, and easily killed a bloody way from the group of more than a thousand corpses and came to the front of the convoy.

But these people in the rear, when they just came and marveled at Zhao Zhou's skills, thinking that Zhao Zhou would help them open the way, but when they saw Zhao Zhou coming to the front of the convoy, they didn't look back and continued to kill in the direction of the few corpses, but in just a dozen seconds, they rushed out of this corpse group, ignored them, and then slaughtered in front.

"He...."

"Oh yes! I knew that even if I died on the road, I wouldn't come here to feed the zombies! ”

The angry scolding sounded, and all the evolutionaries saw Zhao Zhou's actions, how could they not know that Zhao Zhou wanted to kill them, and still remember yesterday's grudge!

To put it bluntly, Zhao Zhou just wanted them to drive these vehicles in, so that he could leave safely in the car after collecting the survivors, and by the way, he would give these evolutionaries who had a grudge against him a ride, so as to reduce the dilemma of not having enough seats at that time.

After all, these people once had murderous intentions against him, whether they were forced or voluntary, there was always a barrier.

Even if they sincerely take refuge now, or if they have some careful thoughts, in the last days, people's hearts are unpredictable, and there are not so many lucks.

If something happens, it's too late to regret it.

The heart of the heart is separated from the belly, and it is not plain to say.

Zhao Zhou's affairs are cumbersome, and he doesn't have time to figure out their thoughts, so it's better to let them make some contributions, and if they die, there will be messy infighting in the province in the future, not to mention delaying the development of the base, but also more affecting Tai Sui's pregnancy plan, as well as his own plan to travel around the world.

"Look at this day, it should rain in the past two days, and when the time comes, I will save some talents who are useful for cultivating the Tai Sui plan, and I can return to the base on a rainy night as I did two months ago, which is very safe."

Zhao Zhou is not an indecisive person, after killing the corpse group and seeing that the people who were overwhelmed by the zombie group were sure that they could not survive, he immediately put away the longbow aimed at them, hugged the spirit, and passed by another path.

'Roar! Many zombies passing by nearby also turned a blind eye to Zhao Zhou, making the desperate people who saw this scene through the corpses in the distance even more full of resentment and surprise in their eyes.

But none of this matters to Zhao Zhou.

Then there was the sporadic light rain of 'da-da', and the roars of humans and zombies.

After passing through this street, he entered the top floor of an uninhabited residential building, took out a large map of the city from the space, and began his rescue plan.

The map is marked with hundreds of black dots, written with a pen, and there is a line of small print on the back, which records the survivor information collected from the base some time ago.

'Survivor: Yan Yan. Stage name: Guoguo. Gender: Female. Occupation: None. The radio signal was sent last night. The location is on the 4th floor of the Emperor Lake Hotel....'

'Survivor: Li Tong, gender: male. Occupation: General employee of construction site. The radio signal was sent half a month ago on the top floor of the Hangli Building. ’

'Survivors: Zhou Ming, male. Profession: None, accidentally eats the flesh and blood of the Evolution Beast and becomes an Evolutionary. Leading a few survivors, is in the No. 5 courtyard of the Yuanlin Community, Building No. 7....'

The small print is dense, let alone hundreds, and all the records are such 'distress messages'.

Zhao Zhou skimmed the information in the residential building, and based on the information of these people, he began to screen some of the people who want to be saved now.

First of all, it must be the evolutionary and the beast tamer who have the ability to fight first.

Various industries followed.

If you don't have any special skills, you can only wait for death.

Of course, the scientific research talents of some large companies are also the top priority, far more important than the evolutionary.

"That's not the only one who lives in the city. Because the zombies in the early stage did not evolve too much, many times carefully collected materials, and it was not a problem for the survivors of high-rise housing to survive for a few months. ”

Zhao Zhou thought about it, took out a lot of food from the space and put it in the house, and marked that Yan Yan as 'useless', and then according to the distance information on the map, he went out of the house and started to search for Li Tong, who was only about a kilometer away.

As long as they are searched, they will all be arranged in this residential building, and when the time comes, they will return to the base together on a rainy night.

But.

On the way down the stairs and in the direction of Li Tong, before he walked a hundred meters away, he suddenly heard the sound of 'Qiang Qiang', like a metal clash coming from another street.

"There are survivors."

When Zhao Zhou heard this, he turned a street corner in the right lane, and came to a street where zombies were relatively rare, stared at the place where the sound came from, and saw that at the door of a supermarket about three hundred meters ahead, there was an 'evolved zombie' with a height of more than two meters, similar to a 'licker', with no hair on his body, only a bulging muscle, showing his strength.

It was now holding a steel bar, and was engaged in a grappling with a young man of twenty-five or sixteen with a sword in his hand, somewhat evenly matched.

The same 'banging' sound was also made by the young man's sword being blocked by the steel bars in the hands of the evolved zombies. And a series of sparks were sputtered from the strike position.

Zhao Zhou saw this scene, and then listened to the sound distance from his weapon, pondered it slightly, and probably deduced the explosive power of the two of them.

"Looking at the momentum, this person should have a thousand catties of strength, and the float should not exceed eighty catties. And that evolved zombie is at least twice as powerful as this person. It's just that this person's moves are smooth and remarkable, which makes the evolved zombies afraid and only dare to parry. According to the induction of the base city, this person has such strength and moves, and he should belong to the scope of ancient martial artists. ”

"And the lifting power of ordinary evolutionaries is only two or three hundred catties, and the explosive power is around six hundred catties. But this person's explosive strength is 1,000 catties, and his lifting strength is about 500 catties. ”

"Let's not talk about today's scene. Just from the comparison of strength, the evolutionary and the ancient warrior, it can really be immediately distinguished, and the upper and lower can be distinguished. In particular, the sword move used by this person is still the Tai Chi sword. It can be regarded as the same school as my teacher. ”

Zhao Zhou is proficient in the dragon and snake world, and has practiced martial arts for about 35 years. At a glance, he instantly recognized the sword move used by this young man, which was the sword posture of Tai Chi.

couldn't help but that Zhao Zhou also loved Wu and Wu, took out an arrow from the space, pulled it into a full moon with a 'crunch', and aimed at the 'evolved zombie' three hundred meters away, ready to help this ancient warrior.

And Zhao Zhou did not guess wrong, the young man in the distance is also learning the Tai Chi method in the world.

The square Tai Chi disciples, with their swordsmanship in one hand, are also perfect, and it is not an exaggeration to be regarded as the top Tai Chi disciples of this generation.

Of course, if you don't have top-notch skills, you will already become food for zombies when the end of the world comes.

In other words, two months after the end of the world, the people who can survive now, even if they are not evolutionaries, animal tamers, etc., will not be 'ordinary people' for a long time, otherwise, they would have been killed or starved to death in the cruel end times.

Equally.

This Tai Chi disciple, a young man called Chen Ping, also hid in the city for two months, and after eating the flesh and blood of the Evolution Beast in a desperate starvation situation, he found that his strength had increased, and he had been wandering outside the city, occasionally looking for supplies, trying to escape from the city.

Today, Chen Ping was also in a temporary residence, and after seeing all the zombies running towards the convoy, he went down the floor, wanting to search for food, and then hurried.

Unexpectedly, I ran into an 'evolutionary zombie' head-on.

"There is a possibility that you will die here today...."

'Bang'.

After Chen Ping once again forced back the evolved zombies, he glanced at the zombies that came nearby, feeling that he couldn't take this monster in a short time, and he also moved his mind to flee from here.

It's just that before he could continue to move, there was a 'whoosh', and the sound whistled from afar, and it came instantly.

In an instant, he saw that the evolutionary zombie that was rushing towards him in front of him suddenly seemed to be hit by a huge force, and his body exploded in mid-air, and his body was nailed to the ground by something with a 'bang', leaving only a dying struggle.

"It's a good fight."

Before Chen Ping was stunned, Zhao Zhou came from a distance, his steps were unhurried, and the distance of ten meters in his eyes was like teleportation, and he arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye, killing a few zombies who surrounded him, and with a 'snap' kick, he smashed the head of the evolved zombie that was comparable to his strength just now, so that it would no longer struggle at all.

"You can do this kung fu. My breeding base lacks a 'hunter', I don't know if you are willing to come and go? ”

Zhao Zhou said, 'bang', took out the bow and arrow from the ground, and the barb on the arrow also flipped out a few cement stones, and there was a small pit on the road.

"I...."Chen Ping was stunned when he saw Zhao Zhou, but he also knew that Zhao Zhou had saved him.

However, although he was grateful, after looking at the corpse of the evolved zombie and the cement pothole the size of a football, he was still a little nervous, or he felt that he couldn't help himself.

And Zhao Zhou saw it, stretched out his hand, and before Chen Ping could react, his palm shook on his shoulder, and then slashed down his spine, Chen Ping sat on the ground as if he had been cut off, and sat on the ground with a cold sweat.

"This is used to push the hands to shake and cut people's muscles and veins. It's just that your strength just now was not pure, and your skills are too rusty. Otherwise, when the sword moves on its weapon, it will break all five fingers with such a shake, and no matter how you fight, it will not be your opponent. ”

Zhao Zhou was like a senior teaching a junior, the words fell, and with a palm of his hand, he lifted Chen Ping up again.

At the same time, Chen Ping was also trembling in his heart, knowing that he had no ability to resist at all, and in this stroke and mention of this seemingly Tai Chi master, it was like a clay man, flat and round.

But he also felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, knowing that the master in front of him seemed to be out of the same class as him, and he hadn't killed himself, so this should be a 'friend', not an 'enemy'.

Similarly, if Chen Ping didn't practice Tai Chi Kung Fu, Zhao Zhou wouldn't say a word, regardless of whether he lived or died all his life, and whether he was proficient in moves or not.

"Thank you...."

Chen Ping thanked him, and when he saw that Zhao Zhou's face didn't look like a bad guy, he also hugged his fists and said, "Thank you.... This senior master. ”

"My name is Zhao Zhou."

Zhao Zhou patted him on the shoulder, signaling him not to be nervous.

Subsequently.

Nothing nonsense either.

Zhao Zhou was pressed for time, and explained to Chen Ping, and asked him to go to the residential building with supplies first, and then began to search for the remaining survivors.

Because it will rain at any time during these two days, it is necessary to prepare the first survivors to go to the base as soon as possible, which is the right thing.

....

And as four days passed.

Chen Ping is not Zhao Zhou who can crisscross the sea of corpses, but he really did not run around in the residential building.

Zhao Zhou ran around the nearby area in a chaotic manner, gathering about one hundred and seventy evolutionaries and two beast tamers.

"The breeding base is composed of ancient warriors and evolved beasts. Evolvers can be used as people who take care of the base on a regular basis. ”

Zhao Zhou looked at the evolutionaries who occupied the entire high-rise building, but he was actually not afraid of these people rebelling at all, unless they felt that they had lived enough.

On the morning of the fourth day, it rained heavily, and the zombies hid in the house, and the cars that drove out of the base were basically cleaned, plus some cars were collected.

Zhao Zhou looked at the sky, and asked everyone to select a few drivers and start to go to the direction of the base.

Again, some time later.

In order to cultivate Tai Sui, Zhao Zhou often went to the city alone, or took Chen Ping to the city, searched for survivors, and then taught him the skills of using both hands.

Until, two months later.

Zhao Zhou stepped into Gangjin and burst out with four times his qi and blood before handing over these tasks to Chen Pingren, while he was pregnant and cultivating 'Gangjin' in the base.
