Chapter 17: The Missing Man
A nest of swallows almost drove the survivors of the end of the world to madness, Zheng Yifan thought it was the wild goose before the end of the world at first, but Zheng Yifan asked carefully and knew that it was an ordinary house swallow.
Only then did he realize how much of a joke he had made, the geese before the end of the world lived in groups according to ethnic groups, and the number was very large, so that the survivors could not understand it.
But Jiayan, Zheng Yifan has really seen it in the real world, Bai Juyi's Qiantang Lake Spring Trip once described this kind of bird, several early warblers compete for warm trees, and whose new swallow pecks the spring mud was forced by the teacher to memorize it when Zheng Yifan was a child.
I can't forget that the bird that was so ordinary before the end of the world, it can't even be said to be a bird of prey, if it is a bird of prey, it is definitely an insult to the eagle.
It's just such a weak-looking bird that has already pushed humans into a corner, and these guys can only be fed to qualify for the botanical garden.
It sounds incredible, but Zheng Yifan is not ready to challenge the experience of being human, since they say that an adult swallow can be comparable to a fifth-order superpower, although he has not really seen a fifth-order superpower.
But those people don't know. They can only infer higher superpowers from third-order superpowers as much as possible.
Even so, in their minds, the fourth-order superpowers were already considered superpowers, and the fifth-order superpowers were only afraid to be compared to the gods in their minds. In this way, they still use the god in their minds to evaluate the nest of swallows.
"We're heading to the Botanical Gardens, so let's have a companion together. But I want you to put all your little thought away, and I don't want to have infighting before I even enter the botanical garden. Everyone is here to buy something, and the essence fruit is not just waiting for us to pick it. Zheng Yifan immediately agreed to go along. Then get ready to camp on the spot, have some breakfast before moving on.
Zheng Yifan then found an RV. Violence broke down the door and put the girl down on the bed inside. The Huang brothers behind him were even more attentive to cover the girl with a thin blanket in Zheng Yifan's backpack.
A few cans of eight-treasure porridge were placed on the table in front of the RV sofa, and the girl could naturally get better food, and Zheng Yifan had already prepared hot porridge for her.
Even he himself can't always drink hot porridge outside.
But the girl obviously couldn't accept the cold eight-treasure porridge, her stomach had been hungry for too long and needed to recuperate slowly, Zheng Yifan also thought about using a bottle of essence for her directly, but after thinking about it, she gave up, this girl is not her subordinate, and she has not risked anything for the hope gathering place, and she also depends on whether Zheng Yifan has enough essence in his hand. For example, the botanical garden that I am going to now is the production place of the essence fruit in Anshi, there is a large number of garbage essence fruits, and no one even wants to pick them, you only need to use a large batch of grain to exchange huàn, and you can pack and take away the garbage essence fruits there, and today's target is the botanical garden, but the main trading location may change. After all, it has been occupied by a nest of swallows, and if other people are really allowed to trade, I believe many people will not come.
But if he found a place near them to trade, many more merchants would come and make a fortune on him.
Two hours of time. Zheng Yifan's whole person was resting, and the RV was almost filled with the five of them, and everyone was lying down and resting.
The next thing they have to face is not zombies. It's a beast.
The beasts of the end times are extra terrifying, terrifying enough to be frightening.
"Big brother. It's almost the number, it's time for us to go. "Hu Laosan outside, they have obviously found a good manpower. Zheng Yifan, who was ready to set off, was only notified.
When Zheng Yifan went out, everyone was ready, most of them were ordinary people, carrying large bags and small bags, and there were a large number of them, and those superpowers would not dare to take advantage of the fire to rob. And they also know their mission, they are going to be cannon fodder, there are many people, the swallows have little appetite, they can't eat much and are full, and no one knows if they are one of those unlucky eggs.
Anyway, they all went together with a fluke heart, Zheng Yifan naturally walked at the front of the team, next to him was the strong man, he was also the temporary leader of this group, the people in that group were all superpowers, they couldn't tell Zheng Yifan's superpowers, but when facing the Huang brothers, that feeling was definitely a second-order superpower, so Zheng Yifan and they would be so valued.
If it was normal, it would have been grabbed directly, and no one would have done the loss-making business.
"Let's go! Everyone set off, be careful, life and death are rich and noble, and I don't need you to remember my good if you get benefits, if you accidentally lose your life, you can go to Hades to sue me Hu Laosan, but listen to it, no one is allowed to lead zombies indiscriminately, there are two hard-hit areas next to it, if anyone attracts zombies, Lao Tzu doesn't need zombies to bite you to death, kill you first! Hu Laosan explained the precautions for everyone, and even explained the route.
It's definitely not a straight line, they analyze a lot of routes, and they are clearly marked along the way, obviously having been walked and marked along the way.
These people are responsible for feeding the nest of swallows and then allowing them to enter the botanical garden safely.
The closed botanical garden is actually more profitable, and the contents cannot be shipped out smoothly, so they can only be sold cheaply to attract superpowers to buy and redeem huàn.
In this way, they have all their possessions ready, ready to come out and make a lot of money at any time, although the superpower has begun to gradually become popular, but it is still the strong man of Anseong, and a large number of ordinary people who have obtained a windfall are waiting to buy a piece of essence fruit.
"Follow me, be careful not to be eaten by swallows, especially you! 10,000 steps! You're an auxiliary superpower, so don't lose your life here, I hope you can make me two planes to play with! Zheng Yifan glared at the drunkard viciously.
I'm not very old, and it's like I can't live anymore without wine.
"Don't be afraid! I've got a defense for myself, and if that thing dares to come, I'm going to have to shoot it blooming. "Wanbu, this guy actually demolished the door of the RV. I don't know when the whole door was inlaid with mourning crystals, and the inscriptions were painted one by one. Those inscriptions Zheng Yifan didn't know what they did.
However, it seems to be more high-end and atmospheric than the formation of the formation mage.
The two supers are different usages, and the formation is good at grand and majestic arrangements. The inscription master is to miniaturize the formation and engrave the most inscriptions in the smallest space.
Wan Bu obviously understands the truth, and the entire door has been carved by him with almost no blank space, and he is almost relieved to arrange another layer of formation on the formation.
The team is advancing, and all the people hate that they have a hundred legs, and they can run faster, and the zombies don't care whether they are superpowers or not, which zombies are counting, even Zheng Yifan is counted. It's just their food. There is no mercy in the face of food.
How many times have you encountered a zombie horde? The 10th? Or the hundredth time.
Anyway, Zheng Yifan already disdains to count, and there is no need to count, the Huang brothers next to him have taken over almost all the zombies around Zheng Yifan, a total of not far away, but it is really frightening to walk, every turning point and intersection has been carefully calculated, most of the time they have walked through the alley, almost no time they pass by the main road.
More than a dozen people under Hu Laosan even flew off the wall, constantly inquiring about the situation in front of them, and gradually drifted away. Zheng Yifan also appreciated the relatively central location of the city.
They can't get into the real city center, which is a paradise for zombies, but for some reason, the zombies have not spread.
Maybe it's the demonic plants that annoy them. The plants in the streets and alleys really blinded Zheng Yifan's kryptonite eyes. The demonic plants are almost all over the street, and as long as you are on the street, you can see the garbage essence fruit. Although the number is scarce, it has always been a zài. Just waiting for people to go and pick.
Zheng Yifan really saw the tourist city of Anseong, the city with the theme of ecology and green, and the new year in the apocalyptic world. In the deep mountains and old forests, zombies will not enter, they will not get enough nutrition, and the demonized plants will not have the conditions to give birth to essence fruits.
Only a city like Anseong has enough zombies and enough demonized plants, and the zombies are even trapped in the center of the city by demonized plants, constantly providing nourishment for demonized plants.
Such a city is the real zombie exclusion zone.
Don't look at the fact that humans like demonized plants so much and regard demonized plants as ordinary plants, those demonized plants are devils to zombies, and they have various ways to get nutrients from zombies.
Slaughtering zombies is inferior to them, and many superpowers also lure zombies to the main street and let demonized plants kill the zombies.
But the main road is too dangerous after all, who knows what kind of zombies are hidden in the shops next to it, and there is no simple zombie that can survive under the nose of the demonized plant.
"Five hundred meters in front is the botanical garden, everyone be careful of the surprise attack of the swallows, if anyone is attacked, everyone must not help, solve their own problems, if they can't solve it, let him die there, don't mess with this group of deadly ancestors!" Hu Laosan repeated it twice.
Zheng Yifan followed closely behind Hu Laosan, his eyes were full of vigilance, this guy said that Yanzi was so terrifying, but he never felt afraid, but instead guided everyone to rush forward together, even if they were attacked, don't help.
Such a situation is all too rare.
How could the gentle and kind swallows before the end of the world be so terrifying, didn't they eat insects? Even if there are no bugs in the last days, there are still zombies, and for beasts, the taste of zombies is obviously very good.
Walking forward slowly, Zheng Yifan already felt depressed, and there was really something in the sky staring at him, if he guessed correctly, it was really the swallow that the big man said.
But why does the swallow have to keep an eye on him, and the superpowers around him have begun to gradually give up and continue to float in the sky. Instead, they followed the crowd.
Uncanny!
It's very weird, there is absolutely no normal fighting for life, but it seems to be robbing yourself, and the superpowers around you have formed an encirclement, and they will kill themselves at any time.
If he hadn't had the experience of the end times, he would never have seen this little trick, but now, Zheng Yifan really saw it, and he saw it very accurately.
That Hu Laosan definitely didn't have a good heart. I am afraid that I have become the prey of others, but my own strength is strong, and those superpowers do not dare to attack me directly.
If that's right, they'll definitely have a way to get those swallows to join in the attack.
Even if a rabbit is in a hurry, it will bite people, not to mention the mutated beasts of the last days.
Just as the team approached more than three hundred meters again and had entered the outermost gate of the botanical garden, a black dot suddenly appeared in the sky.
The tail is like scissors, the color is black, Zheng Yifan just saw the swallow in the sky at a glance, only less than a meter in size, the real combat power is probably not as terrifying as that person said, and it is probably close to the strength of the second order and the third order.
Compared with the lizard that Zheng Yifan encountered, it was really far behind.
But just such a swallow made everyone panic, and it brought with it the fear of the beasts of the end times.
It's more about the rumors of swallows, and the crowd has obviously mixed in with people with ill intentions. They shouted loudly.
"Don't attack this swallow, it's a whole nest, move one, a nest of swallows will come, and no one will be able to run away at that time."
One sentence made everyone dispel the idea of attacking this swallow, they could only dodge, not attack, otherwise Brother Huang would be able to entangle this swallow alone, not to mention that there were other superpowers in the crowd.
Working together, it was too easy to take out this swallow. But just because of his words, everyone throws a rat bogey, a swallow can be killed, but what about a nest? Who knows how many there are in that nest, and the invincibility of the swallows they boasted about along the way, the adult swallows are described as almost heaven and earth.
The crowd panicked, coupled with the panic that instigated it, they no longer had the heart to resist, and they all rushed to the botanical garden.
Outside, the swallows attacked, and the superpowers in the crowd began to secretly carry out their hands.
No one knows when, one or two people will always be lost in a panic, and no one will see the swallow's attack, but the swallow will just keep circling.
Just looking at the people in the crowd who were slowly decreasing, in the panic, the others didn't feel it, but Zheng Yifan felt it, the number of people had been reduced by half, but the closer to the botanical garden, the narrower the road was, and the figure-eight road made people almost unable to tell that the people around them were rapidly decreasing in the panic.
