Chapter 48: Night Wanderer

"Don't you stop them?"

"I'm not a babysitter, and besides, they're not three-year-olds." Li Xin stretched out his hand to open the curtains, stared at the girl's distant back through the window, until her figure disappeared into the night, put down the curtain and walked to the table to prepare food. He pulled out his dagger and slice a strip of meat that had been baked and heated, which was the food for the two of them today.

Yayun took a small saucer with spices, and a small bottle of soda drink, poured some on the two glasses, and then made it next to Li Xin, turned his head sideways and asked, "Do you think this may be a conspiracy by other camps to annex this refuge?" ”

"Maybe, maybe not, who knows" Li Xin picked up the meat slices and dipped them in the seasoning saucer, put them in his mouth, and it tasted good. Most mutant beasts live on carrion corpses, and their flesh contains a sour taste. The meat of the Fire Armor Beast is somewhat similar to beef, and in this era of food scarcity, it is definitely a high-quality and delicious ingredient.

The two silently ate a large number of slices of meat on the plate, and after Li Xin took a sip of the drink, he suddenly said, "I want to leave here alone for a while."

Yayun turned her head and looked at each other with a facial expression, and asked, "Why?" ”

Li Xin reached out to his mouth and replied contemplatively: "I feel that my body has reached a certain limit, and now I need an opportunity, an opportunity to break through the limit."

Yayun silently got up to sort out her equipment, and after a while, she appeared in front of Li Xin in a coat and armed body, and said calmly: "I want to go with me, don't you want to leave me alone"

The two sides looked at each other and were silent for a long time. After a full minute, Li Xin finally broke the silence and nodded the same, "Okay, I'll go pack up my things, rest for a while, and come out in half an hour." With that, he turned and walked into the bedroom, leaving the hall with a look of triumphant joy.

From the time Li Xin walked out of the building until he walked out of the camp gate, he encountered four patrol teams.

The news of the mutant rat colony's attack on the survivors' camp caused everyone to panic, and the security around the camp was raised considerably. However, it is no wonder that everyone is afraid, although it is not to attack the camp where they live, it is rare to hear of the caution of a large camp being attacked before, and since it has set a precedent, it means that there is also a risk of being attacked here.

I have just learned that 300 volunteer rescue units organized by soldiers and capable people are already out, and I am afraid that these 300 people can come back alive and alive.

The defenses at the main entrance have also been reinforced, with three heavy machine guns and a heavy tank and armored vehicle added to ensure that the defenses of the main entrance will not be breached in the first place in the event of a mutant attack.

The black snow has stopped, the snow on the ground has not melted, and the temperature outside the house is still frighteningly low. The rescue force went in the direction of the northeast, and the road opposite Li Xin was full of disorganized snow, these people didn't have any discipline at all, they were completely a bunch of miscellaneous troops, he was still not optimistic about this group of people, once they encountered danger, the first thought that came to everyone's mind was probably where to escape and save their lives.

The two of them walked all the way to the quilt, crossed the 1o3rd street, and then advanced more than a hundred meters to the right, walking for eight minutes, and there was still no shadow of the mutant beast. Li Xin's original target was the center of the city, after the black snow, all the mutated creatures were extremely terrifying, and that area undoubtedly became a hell of death, undoubtedly the fastest place for him to break through the limit.

But now it's different, Yayun follows him, so he has to change his destination, and no one wants his woman to follow the adventure.

The dark streets had come to an end, the ruins of several overturned cars were piled up with a thick layer of snowflakes, and the forked intersection was in front of him, an area he had never set foot on. On the right hand side, some messy footprints on the floor attracted Li Xin's attention, Li Xin squatted down, pinched a handful of bloodstained snowflakes and gently twitched them in his fingers, sniffed the bloody breath that remained in the air, and learned: There was once a melee here, and the battle had just ended

"Where" Yayun suddenly pointed to a bloody corpse not far away.

"It should be the corpse of the rat monster" Li Xin covered his mouth to endure the stench emitted from the internal organs, judging from the size of the bones, the person being hunted should be some kind of more dangerous creature, and the loss of the mutant rat group in this battle was not strict, and the prey was subdued at the cost of the lives of a few rat monsters. As for the corpse of the rat monster, it should be eaten by other companions.

"I already know what the mutant rat swarm is attacking." Yayun stood up and put her right hand in front of Li Xin, and after spreading her fingers, there was actually a slender hair inside. She turned and pointed to the marks of the snow under the rubble of a bus on the right-hand side that had crashed its head, "There are still traces over there, it's a human, a human woman, or a small team, no one survived the attack, the corpses were dragged away, when the mutant rat swarm needs to stock up on food."

Li Xin immediately walked to the place Yayun pointed to, bent down to stroke the shallow footprints on the snow, and muttered: "It seems that it is true" He suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Go to the northeast, we must catch up with that rescue force, otherwise those people are probably going to be buried somewhere, the army and the parliament are fools, they will kill everyone sooner or later." ”

"What the hell is going on" Yayun was still a little confused, and accelerated her pace to follow behind Li Xin, until now she still couldn't keep up with Li Xin's thinking jump in a short period of time.

"Someone once put forward such a hypothesis, the "experience" obtained by humans hunting mutant beasts is called the gene chain, and the so-called monster fighting upgrade is a process of absorbing each other's gene chains, don't you think that the appearance of the rat man is already very close to humans? Li Xin affirmed: "They are also evolving, and this is a cruel reality of survival of the fittest." ”

He suddenly slowed down, and several skeletons were hovering on the road of the forward route, blocking Li Xin's way. Li Xin's body protruded in vain, appearing in front of the skeleton monster before it had time to turn its head sideways, and the fist of his right hand swung out and smashed into the spine in an instant, causing a comminuted fracture, and the hideous white bone skull fell from under the neck, rolling down on the ground a few times, making a dingdong sound.

"Rush over?"

"No, detours, there's no need to dwell on them." Li Xin made a decisive decision and dragged Yayun into the alley to avoid the army of skeletons. However, it will not be as one would hope, as soon as one walked to the exit of the alley, he was greeted by an even larger army of skeletons, their scarlet eyes like burning flames, emitting a faint light in the darkness, they were like an undead army, occupying the area to the death.

"It looks like we have to turn back the way we came." Yayun understands that Li Xin doesn't want to fight hard with these skeletons, his electric shock ability is useless against the undead undead, and melee combat without sharp weapons is relatively disadvantageous.

In vain, the sound of staggering footsteps sounded in his ears, and a wandering skeleton passed by the end of the alley, looking sideways at the dark curtain of the alley where Li Xin was, and his scarlet eyes trembled in the darkness without wind.

"Follow me" A hand suddenly poked out of the darkness and carried it on Li Xin's shoulder. In the hoarse and low reproach, the other party's dissatisfied tone was faintly heard. "You shouldn't be wandering around here, it's full of undead wanderers who can cause a lot of trouble if they get the slightest attention."

"Who are you?" Li Xin looked at the man who came suddenly.

"Kira, the Night Wanderer." The man who identified himself as Kira carried a rudimentary oil lamp and led the two into the floor through a side door. "Don't make a sound, it was really dangerous, and honestly I don't want to be hunted by a bunch of damn skeletons." As they walked through the stairs, the man hurriedly spoke to stop Li Xin from raising his doubts.

Carrying an oil lamp, Kira led the two through stairs and some rudimentary defenses to his own lair.

"What is a Night Wanderer?"

"It's just my self-proclaimed name, meaning the ghost of the dead city."

"You're on your own?"

"yes, it's been a long time since I've met a living kind," he said, with a hint of excitement in his tone.

"What's going on with those skeletons down there?"

"Here, be careful, there's a trap here, just jump over it." Kira pointed to the junction of the two staircases, which was slightly concave downward.

Li Xin took a closer look, and now the stairs were actually hollowed out, and if one accidentally stepped on it, he might fall down directly.

"It's just to guard against the skeletons, you know they don't jump," Kira chuckled, his yellow teeth and unkempt head making him look a little weird.

"It's really a good idea, it's just that if you're not careful, you might even get hit by yourself" Li Xin stepped across the hollowed-out staircase, and even he had to admit that it was indeed a good idea.

"I'm used to it and remember it every time." Kira led the two through the hall where the last defenses had been built, into a small room, where they hung oil lamps on the walls.

The faint orange-red light barely dispelled the darkness around them, and the room was very messy, with all kinds of strange smells mixed together to fill the room, and there were signs of long-term habitation everywhere. Kira threw herself back into the sand of the gentle quilt and rolled several times before she sat up satisfied, letting the two of them find a place to rest on their own.

"I have limited supplies here, please forgive me for not being able to entertain you." Kira's face pulled out a strange shape in the gloom, and she euphemistically said, "Although it is a little presumptuous and unreasonable, I am willing to pay some food in exchange for the opportunity to spend one night with Miss Yayun." ”

Li Xin shook his head and rejected the other party's suggestion: "It's fair and generous, but we don't need it." ”

"Oh, that's a shame." Kira's face was so disappointed that he pulled out a lighter and lit the oil lamp on the table, his withered face becoming faintly twisted and hideous.

In the darkness, a small pinch of flame was on the oil lamp on the table, reflecting the shadow of a drag, what was terrifying was that the lamp was actually a person's head, the heavenly spirit cover had been knocked open, it was filled with lamp oil, the candlelight trembled in the darkness, the light was faint and could not dispel the darkness but made the surroundings more eerie.
