Chapter 11 Departure
It's another morning, and the air is filled with the scent of earth.
Luo Chen was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window at the moment, looking into the distance. It is a small town with a population of about one million. There should be about 200,000 people who survived, maybe less!
Luo Chen felt that he was different from most people, he had incredible abilities, and he had three at the same time. Perhaps, it was given to me by God.
In Luo Chen's view, the stronger the strength, the greater the responsibility. So, I should do my part! Luo Chen clenched his fists.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Luo Chen calmed down for a moment, then turned around and walked over to open the door.
"Good morning. Yu. The captain held out his thick hand.
"Luo Chen. Can I help you? Luo Chen politely returned the salute.
"There is indeed something that needs your help...... Cao Yu was a little anxious.
"Let's go have breakfast first! Chat while eating. Without waiting for Cao Yu to finish speaking, Luo Chen interrupted.
"Okay." Cao Yu sighed.
"Hello Chief!" When Luo Chen walked into the restaurant, everyone called out from the bottom of their hearts.
"Hmm." Luo Chen responded one by one.
Luo Chen and Cao Yu sat opposite each other.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Luo Chen asked while eating the hot tiger meat buns.
"I would like to ask for your help in escorting Dr. Zhang to the gathering place in Chengdu." Cao Yu said quickly.
Luo Chen continued to bury his head in eating delicious buns and did not speak.
"Of course, when you get to the gathering place, as a reward, the military will pay you handsomely." Cao Yu looked at Luo Chen and said.
"Well, well!" Luo Chen raised his head and said. In fact, Luo Chen also guessed that they would come to him for help. If they encounter mutant creatures as strong as yesterday's mutant tigers on the next journey, they will have to go to Huangquan Road to report. At present, only I can safely deliver them to their destination.
"Actually, I need your help. My parents are in Chengdu, I don't know if they survived? So, I'd like to ask you to help me search. Luo Chen continued, a hint of loneliness flashing across his face.
"No problem, as long as they're alive, they'll be able to find it!" Hearing Luo Chen's affirmative answer, Cao Yu said happily. It seems that the completion of this mission is not a problem.
"Eat steamed buns! Such delicious buns can't be wasted. Luo Chen, whose mouth was stuffed with buns, said.
"Hmmm! Eat steamed buns. Cao Yu hurriedly stuffed a bun into his mouth.
"That's right. How many people are there in Chengdu now? Luo Chen asked casually.
"Hmmm! Delicious indeed! Cao Yu stuffed another bun into his mouth and ate it in one bite.
"Oh." Cao Yu reacted, and Luo Chen was asking himself a question.
"About two million!" Wiping his mouth with his hand, Cao Yu, who was still unsatisfied, replied.
"Actually, I was just a new lieutenant. After the end of the world, our army also suffered heavy casualties. My former commander also died, so I took his place. Cao Yu sighed.
"It's good to survive." Luo Chen comforted.
"Hmm. It's good to survive. Cao Yu smiled bitterly.
Outside the gate, Luo Chen and the five of them sat in the Dongfeng warrior. The military car was solid, and it was slapped away by the saber-toothed tiger's claws, but only the rear door was dented, and the whole car was intact!
"Let's drive!" Luo Chen, who was huddled with the doctor and a soldier, said.
Immediately, in the mellow roar, the Dongfeng warriors started and drove towards the ring road.
Li Hu and the others stood at the door and watched the Dongfeng warriors slowly move away until they disappeared.
"Let's go back! It's not like Luo Chen won't come back. If all goes well, you should be able to meet him tomorrow. Shi Dakai said to the people who were still standing still.
After hearing his words, several people turned around in unison and walked back to the camp a little lonely.
On the road out of town, cars that have been involved in car accidents are placed haphazardly. Some cars crashed into the store, the rear of which was still exposed. Some cars were overturned. Several other cars crashed into each other, blocking the road.
The car door opened, and Luo Chen and Cao Yu got out of the car.
Cao Yu is a power evolver. He walked to the blocked intersection, and with a hard foot, grabbed the chassis of a car close to the side of the road with both hands, and suddenly lifted it up with great force. With only one side of the force being applied, the car rolled forward and crashed into another car a few meters in front of it with a "bang". Then the two cars slowly stopped and quivered in a tooth-aching grinding sound.
Luo Chen stood in front of the Dongfeng warrior with the Tang knife in both hands, and looked around with a wary look. Suddenly, the walking corpse attacked from behind Luo Chen, and the speed was faster than the human race running with all his might. Luo Chen heard the sound of running behind him, and with a reversal of his right hand, the walking corpse was split into two from top to bottom.
The dismembered walking corpse is not completely dead. Only the upper body of the walking corpse struggled to crawl forward, mouth open, trying to bite the food in front of it. Luo Chen turned around slightly, and with another knife, the head of the walking corpse was split in half, and a milky white evolution bead fell.
"It's a second-order walking corpse." Luo Chen muttered to himself. Along the way, through talking with Dr. Zhang, Luo Chen learned that there is a theory of hierarchy. The evolution beads of the first order are pale white, the second order is white, the third order is creamy white, and the fourth order is pale red. The saber-toothed tiger that Luo Chen killed yesterday was a fourth-order, and it seems that he is currently also a fourth-order, while Cao Yu is a third-order.
The third and fourth orders are a hurdle. If the fourth-order is an adult, then the third-order is just a 7 or 8-year-old child. There are only a few dozen third-order evolutionaries in a large gathering place like Chengdu, and only a few fourth-order evolutionaries. Among them, there are some people who have no special abilities, and most of them are soldiers. Of course, under the same level, the ability is stronger, and even kills the average evolutionary in seconds.
After clearing the obstacles, the car started again. Due to the fact that there are some cars that have been involved in car accidents scattered on the road, the speed of Dongfeng Mengshi is not fast, turning left for a while, turning right for a while, and moving forward like a snake. The soldier driving in front was not in a hurry, his face was relaxed, and he had long been used to it.
The bumps along the way made Dr. Zhang drowsy, and his eyes had to be closed.
"Dr. Zhang, you can sleep for a while!" Cao Yu said.
"Hmm!" Dr. Zhang replied, and then his eyes closed completely. After a while, the snoring sounded.
Behind the car, several walking corpses were in hot pursuit, about ten meters away from the car. These are several first-level walking corpses, with intact bodies and can already move like normal people, but with greater strength and stamina. They hadn't eaten fresh flesh and blood for two days, and they were hungry now.
Luo Chen didn't care about them, holding the Tang knife in both hands, closing his eyes and recuperating. As long as you don't catch up, don't care.
The speed of the car has not been very fast. There were more and more walking corpses attracted by the roar, there were about dozens of them, all of them were first-order walking corpses.
Now the number of walking corpses has dropped sharply, and most of the zero-order walking corpses have starved to death because they have no flesh to eat, especially the walking corpses who are locked in the car. And some of the surviving walking corpses began to eat the brain marrow and evolutionary fluid of the dead walking corpses, but they never ate the flesh and blood of the dead walking corpses. These walking corpses gradually began to evolve into the first order, some evolved to the second order, the third order was relatively rare, and the fourth order did not know if there were any.
As they evolved, their nails grew longer and their bodies became more flexible and powerful. At the same time, their wisdom is slowly growing. As you can imagine, the direction of their evolution: the Assassins. With their nimble bodies, they lurk behind their prey and plunge deep into their prey with their short, dagger-like sharp nails
