Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Task of Collecting Salt (2)
"Hello, I'm Liu Yu, and like you, I'm an evolutionary who acts alone." A young man in his early twenties sitting across from Ma Yafei and Xinyu spoke, "Because I have participated in four military missions and two defensive battles besieged by zombie hordes, this time I was hired by the military as an instructor to introduce everyone's responsibilities for this mission. ”
Ma Yafei looked at Liu Yu, feeling a little helpless, originally he and Xinyu were not going to get on the car, but the military people will not reason with you, and they will be disqualified from participating in the mission without taking the car, and let them obediently sit on this truck specially prepared for lone evolutionaries. After all, it will be a month before the summoner is upgraded, and although it has become a great sword, food is still needed.
Liu Yu saw that everyone did not speak, and then said: "This time we are going to the salt factory in Xiangxian, and I believe that everyone is very clear about the task in the general direction, and what we need to do is to cooperate with the military troops to clean Xiangxian, and then cooperate with the military to patrol and guard the salt when civilians carry salt." Of course, our main job is to patrol, and when we patrol it is very easy, we basically look for small supermarkets to collect food and fresh water. ”
He said this, he smiled a little and then said: "Actually, everyone knows this, the military people and the blue sword people will divide part of it to collect it in large supermarkets, and those scattered supermarkets are our target." Remember, if you take as much as you can, if you take too much, you will be charged a certain amount of commission by the military! If you find a large amount of food or other substances, you can come back and report them to the military, who will determine the needs of the base, and if you think you can collect them, they will send a team to carry them, and you can get one-fifth of the materials you reported. ”
"If all goes well, we'll meet around 7 p.m., and if you don't come back by then, we'll be sorry, you'll have to go back to the base alone."
After Liu Yu finished speaking, the other people in the car began to coax: "Xiao Liu, why are you the instructor every time?" I can get so many benefits every time, and sure enough, having a good sister is different! ”
"What do you say! Xiao Liu can be regarded as doing his best for all of us, when did we have something that Xiao Liu didn't help? What's wrong with someone having a good sister? If you have the ability, you can also find a good sister! ”
Everyone else laughed, Liu Yu seemed to be used to this kind of ridicule, just shook his head and smiled and said: "Now there are still more than ten minutes to go from Xiangxian, everyone will take advantage of this to quickly adjust the state, there are too few zombies on the way, I'm afraid we have to deal with more than just zombies when we get to the place!" ”
A middle-aged woman in her forties said: "Even if there are survivors in Xiangxian County, it doesn't matter, the military plus Blue Sword has survivors in that place to fight?" There are more than 300 of us who are walking alone, I'm afraid they are birds! It's even better if there are mutant beasts, the muscled meat of zombies always makes the old lady feel that she is eating people, don't rob me if there are mutant beasts! ”
The middle-aged woman's fierceness surprised Ma Yafei, who was worthy of being a person who could defend against the base of the zombie group, and there was a feeling of contempt for the world in her words, but unfortunately the summoner did not react at all now, otherwise you can take a look at the evolution level of this aunt, I think it should be a high-level evolutionary of the fourth level or above.
Careful Yu has not been sitting because of the size and the length of the big sword, and now when she heard that she was about to arrive at the place, she jumped on the front of the car, and sure enough, there were some vaguely visible buildings in front of the road, she happily turned back to Ma Yafei and shouted: "Dad, look! There's a tall tower over there! ”…,
Liu Yu heard the careful shout, and jumped to the front of the car without saying a word, and sure enough, he could see a very tall tower in those buildings from a distance, and he had some doubts in his heart and asked the people in the car: "Why don't I remember that there is such a tall tower in Xiangxian?" Who of you knows about this tower? ”
Someone in the car immediately replied: "I am from Xiangxian County, and we have never built a tower!" Could it be that it was built after the outbreak of the virus? ”
As soon as the people in the car heard this, they began to mess up, many people stood up and looked over the front of the car in the direction of Xiangxian, the tower became clearer and clearer as the car got closer and closer to Xiangxian, and when the convoy stopped in the suburbs of Xiangxian, everyone could see the appearance of the tower clearly.
The tower that appeared inexplicably is hundreds of meters high, because it is in Xiangxian County, the bottom layer has not yet appeared in the eyes of everyone, the tower body seems to be made of a kind of black metal, reflecting a cold light in the sun, this light makes everyone feel a feeling of being watched.
There seems to be a mirror on the spire, and the sunlight shines on the mirror surface and then reflects it parallel to the horizon, and this reflected light seems to be parallel to the horizon all the time, and it does not change direction because of the movement of the sun, which makes everyone have a guess in their hearts that the mirror is controlled by someone!
The military did not seem to have expected such a situation, but soon the military leaders gave an order to leave the original plan unchanged and wait until the salt was collected before sending someone to inquire about the situation. Everyone seemed to be relieved when they heard this order, now that zombies and mutant beasts are rampant, this inexplicable tower gives people a strange sense of oppression, it's better not to go.
Everyone went all the way to the salt factory, which was on the outskirts of Xiangxian County, and the convoy could just go along the ring road, while the strange tower was in the center of the county, so there was no need to pass by the tower. After arriving at the salt factory, the military began to arm, originally planning to clean up the zombies in the county first, but along the way only encountered a few low-level mutant beasts, and did not see a single zombie at all, so they gave up the plan to clean up the zombies, and directly began to let the civilians carry them.
The military and the Blue Sword soldiers were divided into two ways, the large army was deployed around the salt factory, and then sent a team to a large supermarket to collect living materials, and Ma Yafei began the so-called patrol, more than 300 lone evolutionaries each looked for a direction to find a small supermarket or commissary, and if they encountered a group of zombies, they had to go back to the salt factory in time to report to the military people.
After Ma Yafei separated from everyone with Careful Words, he also began to look for a small supermarket, and Careful Words obediently sat on Ma Yafei's shoulder and pointed in one direction and said, "No one has gone over there yet!" Let's go over there! ”
In fact, you don't have to be careful to say it, Ma Yafei's perception can also know that there are few people going in that direction, he is not lazy at home in the past two days, the scope of perception has expanded again, and he can perceive human or non-human movements within two kilometers, but if you want to perceive more subtle movements, such as heartbeat, breathing, blood flow and other slight movements, you must work harder to exercise your skills.
This exercise gave him a further understanding of the skill of demonic power perception, and now as long as it was within five hundred meters of him, any movement within five hundred meters of him could not escape his perception, encapsulating heartbeat, breathing, blood flow, and muscle activity. The most important thing is that he can completely control his perception, as long as he uses perception, any movement within five hundred meters around him will be perceived in an instant, if he doesn't want to, he can also completely close himself to perception, after all, there are a lot of men and women in the base, if he has been perceiving these things around him, I'm afraid he can't help but wake up!
He found a corner where no one was around, hugged and jumped directly to the top of a small three-story building on the side, and then chose a direction and began to run quickly, his idea was simple, since there was a chance to find food alone, then just find a larger supermarket and fill the space neck ring. …,
As long as he persists for this month, then he doesn't need to worry about food when the summoner is upgraded, but after this sudden upgrade, his opinion on the summoner has changed a little, and he is ready to never leave the space neck ring empty in the future, so as not to make himself and Xinyu hungry again when the summoner is suddenly upgraded again.
There are many small supermarkets on the street, most of which are locked doors, and Ma Yafei and Xinyu have already filled the space neck ring after only looking for two supermarkets. Because there was a lone evolutionary who said that he was from Xiangxian County, Ma Yafei judged that it might be because the survivors in this county had already moved to the Pingshi base when the virus arrived, and the result was that most of the supermarkets in this county were not plundered by the survivors.
However, this is cheaper, and the lone evolutionaries who came to collect salt this time, although some of the things in these small supermarkets have begun to mold, there are many foods that can be stored for a long time, and almost every lone evolutionary has found food and daily necessities in the small supermarkets to satisfy themselves.
Ma Yafei saw that the space neck ring was full, and he was about to go back to the salt factory, but was about to leave when he was stopped by careful words: "Dad, look at that tower!" It's starting to move! ”
Ma Yafei looked up, and sure enough, the strange metal tower with a height of 100 meters was actually constantly twisting, and suddenly the tower stopped distorting and turned back into a straight tower body and shrank towards the ground, this sudden change made him flurry for a moment, and he felt a direct large-scale diffusion, because he was walking directly in the direction of the metal tower in the center of the county, and their current position was only more than a thousand meters away from the metal tower, which was just within his perception range.
But there was no trace of the tower in his perception at all, and the metal tower seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and a cold wind blew, making his back chill.
