Chapter 5: The Alienated
Chapter 5: The Alienated
Nothing was said all night.
When the morning sun rose and the orange-red glow spread all over the earth, Zhang Shen's door was knocked and someone came to inform the assembly.
After resting for half a day and a whole night, although Zhang Shen still felt a little tired, there was no problem with normal movements. From the mouth of the visitor, knowing that he was about to follow the ten-person team to Beacon Town, Zhang Shen was a little excited.
The meeting point is on the main road in front of the main entrance of the hotel, where everyone is resting. Ten minutes had passed since the thirty-two newcomers had assembled, and the search team had arrived late.
Their membership structure surprised Zhang Shen.
Ten people, including six women! And among the remaining four men, two of them look like laborers who are only responsible for moving things, and the other is also five big and three thick, and nine times out of ten they play the role of meat shields.
Zhang Shen naturally didn't mean to look down on women, but in the post-apocalyptic novels and movies he had read, because of physical factors, men were the main force in the battle, and women often played auxiliary roles except for a few. And now, a squad that is out searching for supplies is able to present such a structure, and the amount of information hidden in it is enormous.
Either this squad is different, composed of strong women and female men; Either in this world, because of the "plant-controlling master", the status of women is not inferior to that of men, or even higher than that of men.
The woman in this team, the first image of Zhang Shen is weird!
This "weirdness" does not refer to their looks or temperament, but to the way they dress.
In Zhang Sen's cognition, in the apocalyptic times full of dangers, in order to facilitate movement, even if it is not a sportswear, it should at least be looser. However, their dress is the style of the pre-doomsday period, the pursuit of fashion and beauty.
"What kind of world is this...... Zhang Shen muttered secretly.
The leader of the team is a woman in her thirties, her face is serious, giving people a sense of not being angry and arrogant. She glanced at everyone a few times, but did not express a few "opinions" and put forward a few "requirements" as everyone guessed, but just made a brief introduction, and then said to Xie Dingguo and the others, "Be careful to follow" and turned away, leading the way in front.
The name of the team is "Carp", and the captain is called Zheng E.
The next moment when the departure is announced, the qualities of the human elite of the last days are fully revealed.
Two strong men in brown leather armor and holding black broadswords walked in the front, two men suspected of being coolies were in the middle and rear, two on each wing, Zheng E was at the back, and in the middle was a girl with a ponytail, Zhang Shen remembered that her name was Liu Shujie.
Their formation looks loose, but they are on guard in front and on both sides, and there are no dead spots.
In addition, Zhang Shen noticed that they all had a green pattern on the back of their left hand, Zheng E and Liu Shujie were dark green, and the other eight were all light green.
Zheng E's original purpose was to go to Yuyang City to search for supplies, but in order to take care of Zhang Shen's group of "rookies", they not only gave up the original plan, but also changed the return route, took a small road back to Fenghuo Town, avoided large towns, and only passed through three small villages, although they took a long detour, it was safer.
"Ahead is Pei'an Village, everyone be careful!" After walking for nearly half an hour, Xie Dingguo reminded the members of the team.
Zhilu said...... Everyone's answers were a little weak, and all of them didn't look good.
Although the path Zheng E chose was relatively remote, she still encountered several wandering zombies on the road.
The red eyes bulged out like goldfish, the yellow-black teeth like a beast, the mutated claws, the dry flesh, and the dull roar of "ho-ho" and "woo-woo" from the mouth, like a revived dried corpse, hideous and terrifying.
Especially when Zhang Shen and the others entered their perception range, disgusting liquid suddenly flowed out of the corners of their mouths, and they rushed towards everyone with their teeth and claws, and the speed was even faster than that of ordinary men in the last days.
"Disgusting thing!" With a disgusted scolding, Zheng E and the others lit up with green light, and immediately, strange green plants appeared in front of them.
It is about half a meter tall, with two finger-thick stalks, two fat wide leaves, and a green cavity like a cannon barrel, which looks like a small cannon.
What is this? Zhang Shen was a little dumbfounded.
Immediately, the thought moved, and the probe was released.
[Pea Shooter (Derivative): A pea that has absorbed the amount of mysterious power and mutated, can shoot out green energy balls to attack, the attack distance is 1~15 meters, and it is impossible to choose the target to attack independently, so it needs to be manipulated by mind]
[Pea Shooter (Body): A pea that has absorbed the amount of mysterious power and mutated, can spray a green energy ball for attack, with an attack distance of 1~25 meters, has a primary consciousness, can automatically select the target to attack, and adjust the attack strength according to the strength of the target]
The one who has the "body" of the pea shooter is Zheng E, compared to the "derivatives" of others, this shooter is darker in color, the main body is thicker, and there are light green lines on the "cannon barrel".
"Attack!" Zheng E gave an order, and the pea shooter's jet port lit up with green light, and after about 1 second of energy accumulation, fist-sized turquoise energy balls shot towards the attacking zombies.
Bang bang bang!!
None of the energy balls missed, smashing on the zombies, making an impact sound, and at first glance, it seemed that green fireworks were blooming, which was very beautiful.
It seems that the small energy ball is very strong, and the attacking zombies are beaten back again and again, and they can only roar in vain.
The attack power of the energy ball is extraordinary, and the penetration power is also very strong, just two or three, and a total of five zombies will be destroyed.
Vomit............ However, the zombies either had their heads and hands cut off, or their intestines were rotten, and the blackened blood and colorful internal organs and gray-white slurry flowed all over the place, and suddenly more than a dozen newcomers couldn't help but spit it out, and Zhang Shen was also churning in his abdomen for a while, and his face turned blue.
"Can you attack differently?" After continuing on the road, Xie Dingguo and several people asked everyone to negotiate with Zheng E and others, hoping that the latter would not be so disgusting.
Zheng E's expression was cold, and several other people also faintly showed contempt: "I'm sorry, the pea shooter only has this one way to attack, if you can't stand it, you can go back to Fenghuo Town by yourself." ”
After receiving a reply from Xie Dingguo and others, everyone immediately felt resentful.
Everyone thinks that this is deliberately done by Zheng E and others, and as for the purpose, most of them are "dismounting" and the like.
However, the situation is stronger than people, and in order to reach Beacon Town safely, you can only endure it.
Invisible barriers have arisen.
The strange atmosphere lasted until he was about to arrive in Pei'an Village.
There were still kilometers to Pei'an Village, Zheng E's team suddenly stopped, and she personally ran over to warn. "According to our investigation, there are dozens of zombies in Pei'an Village, which is very tricky, and it will take a certain amount of time for us to wipe them all out."
"Now there are two options. First, you wait at the entrance of the village, which is estimated to be several hours. Second, you are also involved in the destruction of zombies, but as explained in advance, our team has formed a fixed pattern, and it will be difficult to take care of you at that time, and there will be certain dangers. ”
Choose the second one, don't let them underestimate it!
Under the excitement of the crowd, except for three or two people, everyone else chose to fight, so that Zheng E and others could see their strength.
"Good! Just let them see how much we can do! "Along the way, Xie Dingguo and Huang Hao also breathed a sigh of relief." However, for the sake of safety, this time we will not be separated, we will act collectively. ”
"Those who don't have combat skills are in the middle, I, Huang Hao, and Bi Luhai respectively led a few people to open the way in front, those with vigilance skills followed us, and the others scattered around."
After simply assigning tasks and building a rough formation, Thirty-Two slowly moved forward.
There is only one "food-making" Zhang Shen naturally in the middle (the role of the cake is not promoted by Li Jing), and Li Jing can only manipulate the water flow and cannot create the water flow out of thin air, which is too affected by the terrain and basically cannot play a role at the moment, and Zhang Shen is together.
Although he was in a state of "being" protected, Zhang Shen did not relax his vigilance, holding a hollow steel pipe in his hand and scanning around.
"It's a pity that detection can only detect what the eyes see, otherwise it can be used as radar."
Zombies found! After a few steps, a message came from ahead, and the steel pipe in Zhang Shen's hand was held tighter, and his eyes were wide open.
Li Jing didn't care: "Don't worry, it can't get to us." Besides, I'm here, don't worry! After speaking, she showed Zhang Shen two 1L Coke bottles filled with water that she had gotten at some point.
Zhang Shen admired the wit of the female man and shared a bottle for her. "There are only two bottles, will it be a little less?"
"It's enough for the time being, and it can be blocked for a while. Anyway, it's also used for emergencies. ”
A hundred meters ahead, Xie Dingguo and the others exchanged hands with the attacking three-headed zombies, and it was a completely one-sided slaughter.
Flames, frost, wind blades, rock thorns, under the tension, all kinds of attacks smashed up one by one, and the three zombies didn't even have time to roar a few times, they were knocked to the ground without resistance, burned, frozen, pierced, and torn apart.
Fortunately, everyone on the road has experienced a similar scene, and their resistance has improved a lot, although they are still nauseous, but there is no more vomiting.
"That kind of attack, it's actually an alien." In the hidden corner, someone took everything into their eyes and reported it to Zheng E. "It's weird that there are so many aliens."
"Forget it, leave him alone, it's not a big deal. No matter how powerful the alienated ones are, they don't have the power to resist in the face of the senior plant control masters, and they can't make much waves. After thinking about it to no avail, Zheng E gave up the move of finding the root cause.
The so-called "alienator" is almost the meaning of the supernatural. The end came, and under the stimulation of mysterious power, a group of human beings underwent mutations and acquired strange abilities. These abilities are varied, some strong and some weak. At the beginning of the apocalypse, the Aliens were regarded as the pride of the heavens, however, the appearance of the Planters proved that they were nothing more than a product of failure in the evolutionary path.
Because, all aliens cannot condense the seed of life!
Even, a large part of them can't even sense the life force, so they can't use plants to fight, and are finally eliminated by the tragic apocalypse!
However, now, it is rare to see alienated people, which is why Zheng E is very surprised.
"It's these idiots, they're just three junior zombies, and they make such a loud noise, they're dying!"
