Following the team, Lu Ping's head was dizzy, and then he arrived at the place where the team lived, but the living environment was even worse than imagined.

This is an old building on the outskirts of the slum, very close to the disaster area, only more than 50 ordinary meters in a small three-story building, which is divided into more than a dozen small rooms, living in 50 or 60 people. The first floor is assigned to the Spark team, and the second and third floors are inhabited by the other two teams, who share the expensive rent.

After all, a safe living environment is very important in the apocalypse, Night City is not a charity, it will not provide you with protection for free, only if you pay the monthly base living fee, you are eligible to continue living in the slums, otherwise you will be forcibly driven to the lifeless disaster area, live in the garbage heap, maybe you will wake up the next day to find that you have fewer arms and legs.

After returning to the small building, everyone in the team breathed a sigh of relief and went back to their rooms to rest, while the captain Nomen and Lin Shigong exchanged the little materials collected today for food and water to prepare for the continued hunt tomorrow.

Everyone went back to their rooms without even saying hello, only Lu Ping stood in the corridor, not knowing what to do for a while, silently looking at the crowded small space of more than ten square meters, not entering, but not knowing where to go.

Here, it is no longer the familiar world that it once was, different cultural styles, and the monsters that fill the world have completely collapsed Lu Ping, and it is difficult to accept the recent tragic encounter for a while.

Surrender to the present, it seems that it does not work in the face of these encounters, you say that it doesn't matter if you find eye cancer, after all, the development of human beings has made cancer more and more common, and it is not unacceptable to suffer from it suddenly, birth, old age, sickness and death are normal. 100 million yuan, this has not yet arrived, although I regret it, I don't necessarily have to get it, and I won't care about it after a while. These are unlucky enough.,But God doesn't seem to have played enough.,Actually got yourself into this super terrifying world.,You can come here.,But it's too stingy.,Even Goldfinger doesn't prepare one for yourself.,It's clear that it's not the protagonist's life.。

"Lu Ping, why are you standing here stupidly? Come in quickly, and I'll assign you a bed. "Oh, oh, thank you, thank you." Although the Mandarin of the Ascending Spirit Fire was difficult to hear, it was like a natural sound at this moment, which instantly pulled the confused Lu Ping back, and his heart was on fire, and he no longer paid attention to his miserable experience, and hurriedly squeezed into the dormitory, letting a few people arrange everything.

The next day, before the sky lit up, Lu Ping was woken up by the spiritual fire, and he didn't even figure out what the situation was, after eating two steamed buns, carrying a worn-out backpack from Linshi Palace, and carrying a strange woodcutter, he followed the team out of the city to start the first hunt, and he didn't even have time to look at the city.

On the streets, the early hunters walked together, rushing out of the city in groups of three or five, hoping to catch up with more roads as soon as possible, so as to earn more food expenses today, for Lu Ping, who didn't know anything, only by following closely behind Lin Shigong could he have a sense of security.

For this world, after the initial confusion, Lu Ping felt new about everything here, and when he was in a hurry, as long as he encountered something he had never seen, he would take a closer look and ask various questions to the ascension spiritual fire.

"Hey, it's a plant, strange, Nightfall City is surrounded by a mountain range, and the soil looks fertile, why don't you see any plants?"

"You guy, after all, you don't even know this."

Along the way, Lu Ping asked some brain-dead questions, which made the Ascending Spirit Fire wonder if this guy was an alien, otherwise how could he not even know these most basic knowledge. said so, but the Ascending Spirit Fire still explained to the other party: "At that time, the end happened too suddenly, and the whole world was completely unprepared, and everyone was busy running for their lives at that time, so how could they have time to stock up on food and water. After escaping from the city, I found out these problems, without food, everyone was crazy looking for something to eat, some hungry guys went crazy, directly dug the roots of the tree and gnawed it, and then more and more people couldn't help but join, resulting in the small mountains near Night City were eaten up, and finally Night City was built, and the situation improved. ”

"Then why don't you go to a nearby town to grab food, with the number of troops in the city, it should be no problem to occupy a small town, right?"

"How can it be so simple, it's only been half a year, and the zombies are a lot stronger, without heavy weapons, we can't beat them at all, otherwise we won't just look for food in the nearby villages."

"Getting stronger?" Lu Ping was stunned, retracted his gaze into the distance, and asked the Ascending Spirit Fire who was walking in front, "Will the zombies also become stronger?" ”

"Of course." glanced at each other strangely, and the ascension spirit fire didn't care, and casually said the reason.

"After humans become zombies, their strength has more than doubled, and it is easy to hunt humans who have no power to fight back, otherwise half of them will not escape and die in the hands of zombies on the day of the apocalypse. It's only been half a year, and I heard from the hunters who came back from the city that there are many powerful evolutionaries who encountered very powerful zombies when they robbed some small towns, and they didn't even have a chance to escape, and the whole team was wiped out. ”

When the Ascending Spirit Fire spoke of those evolutionaries, his face was full of yearning, obviously envious of the great power that those humans could have.

"Evolver? Are they the ones who have mastered superpowers? How strong are they? ”

Evolver, this is the first time Lu Ping has heard of the existence since he came to this world, this kind of character that only exists in the twenty-first century web novel, but he didn't expect it to really exist in this world, no wonder the Ascending Spirit Fire would show that kind of envious expression.

"Well, I don't know much about this, you better ask Brother Gong, he has an evolutionary friend, he should know this."

After learning that Lin Shigong knew this, Lu Ping ran to the other party without saying a word and asked everything about the evolutionary, Linshi Palace smiled and said: "Well, I also heard from a friend, I heard that after the end of the world carried an unknown virus, more than seventy percent of the world's people have become zombies, and only a very small number of people who survived have undergone unknown changes, after research, people found that these people actually have superpowers, and can easily kill zombies and mutant beasts, And as they continue to grow stronger, these abilities become more and more powerful, even ordinary guns can no longer hurt them, and mortals are simply vulnerable in front of them, for this reason, they call themselves evolutionaries. Under the subdivision of evolutionaries, it is divided into two categories: abnormal type and evolutionary type, and under the two categories, it is divided into multiple subcategories, as for how to divide it, I don't know very well, after all, my friend is only a first-order evolutionary, and he doesn't know much. ”

"Oh, what about zombies?"

"Zombies, I heard that there are some different types of zombies in those big cities nowadays, which are roughly divided into two categories: evolutionary and mutant, but I haven't seen it, and I don't know how to distinguish it."

"I advise you to see it as well, if you really see it, then you must not be scared to death."

Nomen on the side smiled slightly, and joked, telling the team members about the latest news they heard yesterday.

"This animal is getting more and more powerful, in addition to the mutant beast, I heard that a new fierce beast has recently appeared, and the military calls it a xenomorph, so we have to be careful when we go out recently."

"Xenomorph, how terrifying is it?" Someone in the team asked, obviously worried.

"It's terrifying, I heard that an army of evolutionaries was dispatched in the city, and in the end, I didn't catch that xenomorph with heavy losses, and a lot of strangers died."

As soon as Nomen said this, all the members of the team immediately took a breath, and many of them looked around, as if they were worried about what happened to them and others.

Seeing that the surrounding environment was getting stranger and stranger, and it was getting farther and farther away from Night City, Lu Huadai said with some unease: "Captain, where are we going this time?" Wouldn't it be a little unsafe to be so far away from Nightfall City? ”

"There's no way, the vicinity of Nightfall City has been swept away, and I can't even find a grain of rice, so I can only go farther away to take a look."

After a hard day's work yesterday, the team also found more than a dozen packs of biscuits and dozens of corpse crystals, after excluding the food expenses, there is not much left, if this continues, it will not be able to maintain the consumption of the team, so today Yemen plans to go farther away to see if he can gain something.

The 300,000 people in Night City eat and drink a day, and the consumption is naturally not small, and the surrounding area of the base has long been swept by those big forces, except for some zombies and animals that have missed orders, there is no major danger, until the team is two or three kilometers away from Night City, and the nearby environment begins to be dangerous.

The danger of the end of the world has made the team practice a super hunting skill, Lu Ping has no experience in survival in the end of the world, so he naturally doesn't know how to hide his whereabouts, so he walked swaggeringly, watching the spiritual fire and others speechless, feeling incredible how this guy lived so long in the end of the world.

Afraid that this kid would cause problems, Lin Shigong told the other party all kinds of survival skills one by one, and taught the other party how to distinguish danger. Someone taught, Lu Ping naturally listened carefully, and memorized all these life-saving skills in his heart, so that he could live longer in this world.

A loud "boom" suddenly came from a distance, and before Lu Ping could figure out what was going on, he was thrown to the ground by Lin Shigong, and was about to speak, but the other party covered his mouth, and looked at the other party's somewhat trembling fingertips, almost not scared to pee.

I saw a huge mutant beast about ten meters long, rushing towards the distance, the huge body was like a big lizard, but it had a strange dart head, although the body looked bulky, but the speed was not slow, and every time it ran, the ground shook slightly, so it was not terrifying.

However, behind the big lizard, more than a dozen three-meter-long thylacines rushed and jumped, forming an encirclement to encircle the big lizard, constantly launching sneak attacks, roaring and howling endlessly. Although this lone thylacine is not as powerful as a giant beast, it is better to know how to work as a team, a dozen of them are gathered together, and a few experienced old wolves are responsible for harassing them, and some young thylacines are the main attackers, but they also live well.

Seizing the opportunity, I saw a young thylacine take the opportunity to launch an attack, jumped up, bit on the thigh of the giant beast, trying to slow down the speed of the giant beast, and the other thylacines saw this, and launched a fatal blow to bite the giant beast around the body.

However, this giant beast is not covered, the skin is thick and the flesh is thick, and the terrifying bite force of the thylacine can bite the bones with a single bite, and it can barely break the rough skin of the giant beast, and the speed of running is not affected in the slightest. But this bite also angered this hideous beast, only to see it roar angrily in the sky, and its thick tail swept in an instant, pulling the two jumping thylacines directly out of dozens of distances, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.

This is not the end, after repelling a few thylacines, the galloping giant beast suddenly stopped, and when a dozen thylacines were defenseless, they brought their limbs closer together and rolled directly on the ground. The huge body of more than ten tons rolled, and the earth trembled a little, and the thylacine hanging on his leg and refused to let go was directly crushed to death and became a big meatloaf, which frightened the other thylacines to flee one after another.

This level of war is much more exciting than science fiction movies, Lu Ping was so addicted to watching it that he completely forgot his current situation, if it weren't for Lin Shigong, he would have been stupid and didn't know to take the opportunity to escape.

Fortunately, although a giant wolf in the wolf pack glanced at this side, he didn't chase after him, thinking that the two sides were red-eyed and had no intention of caring about anything else, which allowed Lu Ping and the others to escape from this dangerous place safely.

It's really terrifying, after the animal mutation, the physical body is extremely powerful, and the vitality and destructive power are even more terrifying and terrifying, if the two sides fight in the city, it will definitely be the trend of destroying the city, Lu Ping, who has never seen this kind of scene, was really frightened, and ran for his life, even if the physical fitness is not as good as the people in the team, but the speed is not slow, and the small universe broke out in a flash, and the direction was not clear, and he rushed directly to the front of everyone and ran away in the distance.

"Huhu, it's dangerous, Mom, I'm scared to death."

It wasn't until he couldn't run anymore that Lu Ping stopped on the side of a big road, panting for breath. Seeing this, everyone in the team stopped to rest, guarding the surroundings, and the ascension spirit fire scolded while panting: "My grass, you kid looks weak, I didn't expect to run away so badly, fortunately I ate enough this morning, otherwise I would have to feed the wolf." ”

"Okay, just your ribs, I guess the wolf will look down on you."

"you, you'll have a lot of meat."

Shenglinghuo scolded that guy angrily, and quarreled with this guy again, everyone was already used to it, and they didn't bother to pay attention to these two guys, and they were on guard.

"Shut up, are you trying to attract mutants so loudly? Aren't those big guys scary enough? Seeing that the two guys were getting more and more noisy, Yemen suddenly scolded, and then looked at the surrounding environment with Lin Shigong to determine where the team was now, after all, Lu Ping ran around just now, and he didn't know where he took everyone.

This time, it can be regarded as a complete sight of the horror of the apocalypse, to be honest, this world is more dangerous than imagined, as a person in the twenty-first century, when has Lu Ping encountered such a terrifying situation, it is already good if he is not scared.

Even if he has escaped from that area, he can still feel palpitations, not afraid of encountering even more terrifying mutant beasts. But fortunately, after looking around for a long time, I didn't see any other animals, but there were a few corpses lying on the side of the road, obviously dead for a long time.

When you meet a dead person, go up and pick up the corpse, well, this is what Lin Shigong just taught, Lu Ping really wrote it down by heart, no, without saying a word, he ran to the corpse, squatted down and prepared to search it, to see if he could get something good. Although he felt a little hairy in his heart, and even felt weird, he still endured his nausea and stretched out his hand to the corpse.

It's just that he just touched the corpse, but unexpectedly, the dead corpse suddenly opened his eyes, hissed with a "roar", opened his rotten mouth full of maggots, and showed a terrifying smile to Lu Ping.

"Oh my god, it's a corpse." Suddenly, he deceived the corpse, almost scared Lu Ping to death, and instantly sat on the ground and involuntarily cried out. Seeing that the zombie was about to pounce on him, under the conditioned reflex, he instantly kicked his right leg and kicked the zombie away, and he crawled on the ground again, avoiding several other zombies that pounced on him, and ran towards the team more than ten meters away.

"Grass, this guy is really a waste material, he can't even handle a few zombies, and he was scared to pee." Lu Huadai despised Lu Ping fiercely, tightened the spear in his hand, and after a few strides to increase the distance between the two sides, he quickly stabbed the spear in his hand and stabbed at the several zombies that rushed in.

Ordinary zombies are about one or two times stronger than ordinary people, and they are still easy to kill with sharp weapons, not to mention that the team has survived in the apocalypse for half a year, and has long honed a strong physique, and the combat experience is even more powerful.

After the zombies hung up, Lu Huadai did not stop there, but took out a knife pinned to his waist, broke the heads of several zombies one by one, and took out a few corpse crystals the size of peanuts.

The white brains splashed everywhere, and Lu Ping, who saw it, was sick to his stomach, and hurriedly stayed away from Lu Huadai and the others, and ran to the side to spit out the gastric juice in his mouth. This scene made many people in the team feel amused and showed disdain.

But Lu Ping doesn't care, it's just fear, it's nothing that he doesn't dare to admit, after all, people will have this kind of emotion, which is passed down from the ancestors, from the genes in the bones, even if it is hidden deeply, as long as it encounters unknown horror things, it will be completely exposed, so there will be this kind of cowardly performance, this is not a shameful thing, only by accepting cowardice can we overcome fear.

After Lu Huadai and several people collected the corpse crystals, they wiped them clean before handing them over to Yemen.

This corpse crystal is something that will only appear on zombies after the end of the world, although it is not known what a big effect it has now, but it has become one of the circulating currencies in Night City for no reason, and many small hunting teams often choose to hunt lonely zombies in exchange for food and various substances without finding food.

After carefully counting the few corpse crystals in his hand, Yemen put them into the cloth bag, and then said to everyone: "There are zombies around here, I think there should be scattered villages, let's search around to see if we can find food and water." ”

"Captain, we've only been a few kilometers away from Nightfall City for a few kilometers before we encounter that terrifying group of mutant beasts, wouldn't it be too dangerous if we were going outside?"

One of the members of the team was obviously frightened by the mutant beast just now, and was a little worried that Nomen would continue to go farther, so he couldn't help but persuade him.

It's just that after hearing this, Yemen shook his head a little, and sighed: "No way, the food and zombies near Night City have been swept away recently, if we don't look for food farther away, I'm afraid we won't even be able to pay the entrance fee to the city, so we can't go away." ”

"This?"

"What is this, turtle, when did you become so timid, if you don't dare to go, go back by yourself, no one will stop you."

Saudi Arabia directly interrupted the guy's words and urged the team: "Captain, I'm dying of hunger, hurry up and find something to eat." ”

A few people were noisy, but most of the team decided to look for it nearby, and a few people had to obey the captain's arrangement and touch the neighborhood, Lu Ping wiped his mouth, picked up the woodcutter that fell to the ground, and hurriedly ran to Linshi Palace.

"Are you alright?"

The other party asked with concern, Lu Ping shook his head, saying that he was fine, but said with some complaints: "Brother Gong, what you said about touching the corpse is too dangerous, I was almost bitten by a zombie." ”

"Hehe, who told you to touch zombies stupidly, it's strange if it's not dangerous."

"How do I know it's a zombie, aren't the zombies standing? When will you lie down and sneak attack? It's not scientific. ”

"Who said it wasn't normal."

Seeing that Lu Ping really didn't know anything like that, Lin Shigong had to patiently explain: "This zombie is the same as a human, it needs to eat to maintain the needs of activity, and when there is no fresh flesh and blood to eat, in order not to consume energy and destroy the advancement, this group of zombies will stand still, stand still or lie down, and enter a dormant state, looking no different from a dead person." Once a living creature passes by, it will revive again and hunt it like crazy. Therefore, not all corpses can be touched, this must be seen before you can do it, otherwise it will be a tragedy if you encounter a super powerful zombie. ”

Well, I always thought that zombies were a group of guys who kept wandering around, but I didn't expect to be able to lie down, Lu Ping had to admit that he was deceived by the deepening crisis and almost lost his life, but fortunately he reacted in time, otherwise he really had to play mahjong with Lord Yama.

The road is very wide, and many dilapidated mechanical spiders are discarded in the middle of the road, and some of them that collide with each other are scattered into a large pile of debris, rolling down everywhere, and weeds have grown in the center of many broken roadbeds, which looks a little dilapidated.

On both sides of the road, it seems that it used to be a farmland of uneven heights, but now it is overgrown with weeds, and it is extremely desolate at a glance, and there is no half of a person in sight.

"Captain, look, there are a few small manors on the hillside over there." Lu Huadai's eyes were sharp, and he saw the houses in the distance from a long distance, and said to everyone.

"Let's go, touch it."

Ye Men waved his hand and led the team to touch it, Lu Ping learned the appearance of ascending spiritual fire, bent down and sneaked behind everyone, the woodcutter in his right hand was tightly held, and he was vigilant against any wind and grass around him.

On the hillside, there is a manor house covering several acres, with a slightly strange architectural style, surrounded by a circle of fruit trees, and the trees are wrapped around a circle of thin wires like steel wires to protect the manor.

The door to the courtyard was wide open at the moment, and the team easily touched it in, and quickly searched the various rooms, but the room seemed extremely chaotic and empty.

"Captain, it seems that someone has been here and nothing has been left."

"Let's go, look around and see if there are any other estates." Nothing was found, and Nomen's face was a little unpleasant, and after saying a word, he took the lead and walked outside the manor.

After seeing that everyone had left the house, Lu Ping looked at the gold and jade discarded everywhere on the ground and was a little stunned. This thing is not cheap in the 21st century, I didn't expect it to be discarded everywhere like garbage now, but it is understandable that this is the end of the world, except for food and materials that can be exchanged for food, these things that can neither eat nor save lives are simply more garbage than garbage, and no one will want to waste precious time collecting these useless things.

I don't know what kind of thoughts I have, even if I know that I can't go back, Lu Ping still quickly picked up the gold and all kinds of gems scattered on the ground into his backpack, and then ran out of the manor and quickly rushed in the direction where everyone left.
