Chapter 76: The Lost Survivor
Hong'an Town is a small town with only more than 200 households around S City. In the middle of the town, there are rows of neat bungalows, which are basically independent courtyards. It can be seen that although the town is not big, the life of the townspeople is very rich.
But now, this beautiful town has long been reduced to a dead place.
The zombies that Li Mo brought out were not all of the town, but they were simply gathered together for those who were wandering on the streets. As for those trapped in the courtyard, naturally they don't have the leisure to care.
After all, the removal of zombies is only to pass through here, not to put down roots here. And now, the convoy is in no hurry either. It's already past noon, and everyone has just experienced another fight, so they have to rest and recuperate.
So the survivors began to get busy, gathering in groups of three or five with familiar people. There were even some well-prepared people who gathered firewood and started a fire.
Anyway, not far from here, is the Grand Canal that runs through the city of S. The flowing river water, unlike tap water, is not polluted. Even if everyone's rations are instant noodles, they are convenience foods. But even the soup and noodles are hot, which is obviously not a star and a half better than dry chewing.
And the zombies in Hong'an Town have almost been cleaned up, and the potential danger is basically lifted. Therefore, in the open area outside the small gas station, it is rare to show a sense of relaxation and peace.
However, even this short-lived relaxed atmosphere was quickly broken. Fortunately, the uninvited guests who broke were not zombies.
I heard the roar of an engine on a fork in the road about two or three hundred meters away from the gas station. With Li Mo's experience and ear power, it can be determined that it is a large-displacement off-road vehicle, and it should be Japanese.
Sure enough, I soon saw a 4.0 displacement Toyota turned out domineeringly and came straight to the gas station. But although there was only this car, Zhen Ying and the others still showed a wary look, and Gao Meng directly took Qin Yu and Liu Jin to greet them.
A moment later, the car stopped about a few meters away. Then, a total of five survivors, two men and three women, got out of the car.
These people were all young people in their twenties, but judging from their demeanor, although they were a little surprised by the guns in the hands of Gao Meng, they didn't show much concern. And the taller of the two men also holds a 92 pistol, and he is also an evolutionary.
The two sides who kept their distance were a bit like a confrontation, and the atmosphere was a little tense. But in the last days, this is also the most common situation.
After all, the survivors who have already understood the cruelty of the end times, when they meet, most of them have to estimate first, and the other party will kill and rob without saying anything.
But compared with the other party, Li Mo's side has a pressure advantage in terms of number and strength. Therefore, Gao Meng and the others were not in a hurry to speak, they were very calm.
But the other party obviously couldn't just consume it like this, and the evolutionary who led it couldn't help but open his mouth. He seemed to want to be as relaxed and natural as possible, and said with a smile: "Hehe, don't be nervous, everyone, we're just passing by." ”
It's just that the muzzle of his gun is still pointing at Lao Gao, obviously quite scruples about the 79 in Gao Meng's hand.
As for Li Mo, after seeing the person clearly, he continued to eat his fried rice, and he was stuffing the last few bites into his mouth at this time. It's not that he looks down on those people, he just wants to finish the meal first.
But to be honest, the other party is really no threat in Li Mo's eyes. Five people with one gun, even if there is an evolutionary, the evolution will reach the standard base of 1.0.
You must know that Zhen Ying's poor foundation has reached an evolution level of 1.1 after Li Mo used the mutant beast to stimulate the potential, and after injecting the evolution liquid.
And Li Mo himself has increased by 0.3 compared to the beginning, so that the evolution degree has reached 1.6. This is basically equivalent to the powerful physique of an ordinary middle-aged man, two and a half times taller.
Coupled with the giant power gene and metal magnetic ability, it can be said that the evolutionary is really not enough in his eyes. It is no exaggeration to say that a raise of a hand can kill the other party.
But he won't pretend to be B too much, otherwise he should be struck by lightning. So he pulled the last two bites of rice clean, stuffed his mouth full, and finally stood up.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, he separated the old and high people, walked to the front, and muttered, "Since you are passing by, then you can go your way." ”
And the five people found out that there was actually one hidden behind the three men with guns. It's just this, uh, why don't you swallow what you swallow before you speak slowly? The five of them looked at the "informal" Li Mo, and they couldn't help sweating.
And what Li Mo said just now really made them a little difficult to accept. The point is that they come over, and it's not just about passing by. It's just a bit embarrassing to talk about the real reason. Because of them, lost.
However, the young man at the head has already seen that Li Mo is an evolutionary. Because Li Mo did not deliberately hide his human body magnetic field like Zhen Ying. So it is naturally easy for people to see that he is the real boss of the team.
And seeing that Li Mo was an evolutionary, and his evolution was stronger than his own, the young man was surprised at the same time, and his attitude was a little more polite.
I saw him smile and said, "Hello this friend, we are all students of S University, and we have organized a convoy like you." It's just that a few of us were unlucky, and last night, we got separated from the team. I didn't pass by here today, and I met you. ”
It turned out to be left behind. As soon as Li Mo heard it, he basically saw the embarrassment of these people. I know they must have been messing around last night to get here.
However, Li Mo was a little surprised, he didn't want to be evacuated early because of his rebirth, and he actually ran into the people of the S big convoy.
It's not that there are any evolutionaries in S University that impresses Li Mo, what really makes him a little concerned is that an important person in the Xingcheng gathering place in the future seems to be from S University. The man's name was Zhang Hongxuan, and he was a professor of bioengineering.
Although before being reborn, Li Mo didn't know if Professor Zhang was the first person to discover the source power. But he knew that he was definitely the first person to conduct research on the source of genes in the gathering place of Xingcheng, and the results of the research were quite good.
You must know that in that time and space, it can be said that Professor Zhang Hongxuan's research results are an important factor in the development of Xingcheng gathering places.
However, since Li Mo before his rebirth arrived in Xingcheng, he has been struggling at the bottom, so his understanding of Professor Zhang Hongxuan is very limited.
But now, the situation is completely different. He couldn't help but be a little interested in that Professor Zhang.
So he tentatively asked, "Are you students at S University?" Then you guys, is there a professor named Zhang Hongxuan? I think he seemed to be from the Department of Bioengineering. ”
Li Mo wanted to make sure that Professor Zhang was in the convoy that these people said.
The young man at the head was really surprised, and when he met an alumnus, he couldn't help but exclaim with joy on his face: "Do you know Professor Zhang?" Are we alumni? Hello, hello, I'm Zhang Chong from the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. May I ask my friend, which department are you? ”
This boy named Zhang Chong obviously misunderstood Li Mo as a classmate. However, judging from his performance, it seems that he also wants to take advantage of this to get closer to Li Mo.
