Chapter 139: The Store

No longer dwelling on the reptilian corpses, we entered the building from the rooftop. It is a large-scale general store, spacious, atmospheric, and with a wide range of items. Of course, there are also zombies all over the place, the three of us hid at the staircase leading to the hall on the fourth floor and looked inside, nearly 2,000 square meters of area was divided into nearly 100 different areas by various commodity shelves, but the gap between these shelves was also very large, there was no way to provide us with enough cover, as long as there was a little movement, the zombies in the entire hall would swarm towards us.

"What should I do?" The pony retracted his head and whispered, "If it doesn't work, let's go down outside." ”

"It's easy to get the attention of the zombies on the street from the outside, then we'll have to deal with more zombies, and the best way to do this is to clean it up, so it's easier next time." I whispered as I stared at the zombies wandering outside.

"You're crazy!" Ouyang Lizhi whispered nervously, "There are at least two or three hundred zombies here, how are you going to clean them up?" ”

"Be quiet!" I covered Ouyang Lizhi's mouth and whispered, "You want to kill us!" ”

"How's it going?" I dragged Ouyang Lizhi behind me and asked the pony who was observing the movement outside.

The pony didn't answer me, just made a safe gesture, I put my mind at ease this time, I turned my head to Ouyang Lizhi, who was a little overwhelmed, and said, "Can you not be surprised!" Isn't it just two or three hundred zombies? Is it worth all the fuss you make? ”

"But you said you want to get rid of all these zombies, can the three of us do it?" Returning to the original topic, Ouyang Lizhi was much more confident.

"Not the three of us." I patted Ouyang Lizhi on the shoulder and said, "I'll go with the pony, you stay here, if there is any accident, run to the rooftop, we will go there to find you." ”

After saying that, I threw the rifle to the stunned Ouyang Lizhi, pulled out the spear on my waist, walked to the back of the pony and patted him lightly on the shoulder, and the pony nodded knowingly. Standing my rifle against the wall and holding the spear in my hand, I smiled and looked at the zombies in the hall and whispered, "You are on the left, I am on the right, see who has killed the most." ”

Pony grabbed the gun in his hand and stabbed, "Alarm the other zombies and lose." ”

I nodded and agreed to the pony's terms, and the two of us sprang out like cheetahs, and I approached a zombie with my back to me at a rapid pace, and the moment I approached him, I raised my hand, and the spear flew out of the back of the zombie's head, and the zombie that was shot immediately wilted and fell. But before he could fall to the ground, I rushed to him, reached out to catch his body, and gently lowered him to the ground. He pulled out his gun and stabbed Xiangxia a target......

The same thing happened on the other side of the mall, and the pony was not to be outdone when he saw that I had succeeded, but we were both very light and agile. With shelves and merchandise in the way, we cleverly maneuvered between the zombies, letting them rest in complete peace before they found us.

After more than 20 minutes of competition, Pony and I appeared at the other end of the hall on the fourth floor of the store almost at the same time, and we both looked at each other and said, "How many did you kill?" ”

"124," I said with a smile.

The pony "117" reported his results with some frustration.

However, just as I was about to comfort him, the pony raised his pistol and stabbed it out of his hand and flew across my cheek. I looked back and saw that it was a saleswoman standing in the middle of the model, who had been stabbed in the forehead by a pony.

"Hell!" I couldn't help but rub my forehead and complained, I didn't expect a small negligence to let the victory in hand fly like this, maybe this is how a boiled duck can fly.

"Phineas. Do you miss a deal too? Pony pulled the spear off the zombie's head and smiled triumphantly at me, "I've got a blow this time, I'm afraid Team Luo hasn't beaten you, right?" ”

"It's just an extremely rare accident, you can't use this as a bragging rights, right? Why don't we try again? "I'm trying hard to salvage the situation. Otherwise, if Rocky's unscrupulous guys know, they won't laugh at me.

"It's not comparable, winning you once is enough to prove my excellence, this is called maintaining honor." The pony smirks as he puts his gun back into its scabbard. He refused me without hesitation, and walked off the escalator.

"Hey, pony, you can't do that! Competitions? How can you get two out of three games, right? I hurriedly chased after him and argued, how could I not let this kid take advantage of him like this.

"There's no need to compare, I took the initiative to admit defeat in the next two games, and I only need to win this one." The pony is going to be a scoundrel to the end.

"When did you kid become such a scoundrel? Who did you learn this from? I said with a blank face.

"Team Luo." The pony only spat out two words, and I was completely speechless, and I couldn't help but lament that this kid had also learned badly.

Seeing that the pony said that he would no longer compete with me, I had no choice but to reluctantly accept this unfortunate reality, and then we continued to work hard to clear the third layer as well. To be honest, we had good luck this time, the third floor of the store is for food, and the huge hall is divided into a fruit area, a vegetable area, a wine area, and a grain and oil area, and the variety is very complete. It's also very neatly arranged.

We searched on the third floor for a while, and found that there was nothing useful here, not to mention the fruits and vegetables, all of which were rotten, but even the bottled water, grain, oil and even wine had disappeared, which was a bit too much to say, looking at the bare shelves, I couldn't help frowning, it seems that we are ready to make some new friends.

"We're late, and we're going to go home empty-handed today." Looking at the empty grain and oil area, I was a little helpless.

"It's not surprising that there are survivors in such a large city, but I'm curious how they managed to get rid of things in the middle of so many zombies." Pony is also helpless about the current situation, but he still raises his own questions.

"You can kill so many zombies, can't someone else move things quietly?" Ouyang Lizhi checked the traces on the ground and said: "These things were moved away in batches, which shows that the survivors here have evolved like you and me, but they are not as violent as you, but judging from the traces left, there is at least one of them like Lele or Wang Kai, and there should also be an idea evolver like Bao Lin, and this idea evolver should be at least at the level of Bao Lin." ”

"Impossible!" Pony first objected, "You said that there are people like Lele and Wang Kai among them, and I believe it. But how could there be an Idea Evolver as powerful as Sister Paulin? Wouldn't it be more convenient for them to kill all the zombies here? ”

"This is the difference in behavior caused by the living environment, you habitually apply all your abilities to combat, but it doesn't mean that the people here are the same as you, maybe they don't realize the lethality of their abilities." Ouyang Lizhi refuted Pony's words in his usual unfathomable tone.

"Then what evidence do you have that there are Mind Evolvers among them who are as powerful as Sister Paulin?" Pony asked, unconvinced.

"It's very simple, first of all, all the things on the top of the shelves have been removed, but there are no ladders or other footing on the side of the shelves. Secondly, when these grains were transported, they were not carried away with tools such as carts, but floated in the air, and Pauline's ability to hold up to about a thousand kilograms of objects was carried away, and they also transported nearly a thousand kilograms of grain at a time, and they could also lift and carry away a thousand kilograms of things with their minds. Do you think this person is as powerful as Pauline? Ouyang Lizhi explained.

"How do you know if they're shipped at once, or if they're shipped several times, or if there are several Mind Evolvers among them?" Pony is still unconvinced, looking for reasons to refute Ouyang's ambition, but we all know that his assumptions are a bit too far-fetched.

"Look at the traces here." Ouyang Lizhi patiently pointed to a square mark with dust in the middle of the ground and said, "There are two pieces of grain on the other side here, one of which is a little thicker on the dust, and the other is a little thinner. If you look closely at the difference between the two piles of grain, you can find that there are some scattered traces around the pile of grain that was removed first, as you said, this pile of grain was moved separately or not by one person. But there was nothing left around the second trace, and the whole trace was very neat, which indicates that the pile was carried away by one person at a time. It is customary for such a large store to be placed at least one or two thousand kilograms at a time, even if there is not so much food when he carries it. But with that in addition to the fact that there are also a thousand kilograms of other things, does this not mean that my analysis is correct? Ouyang Lizhi's analysis made me and Xiaoma speechless for a while, and I could only silently think in my heart that this thing was a monster.

However, no matter how wonderful and accurate Ouyang Lizhi's analysis is, it can't change the fact that our "procurement" Jihua had to fail because someone was on the first to get it. But since we're going to be here for a while, we can't do without enough food and water. This time we didn't take into account that there were other survivors in the city, so we were caught off guard. It seems that we have to think of other ways.

"Well, let's go and see if there's any other place to find food and water, I don't believe they'll be able to move everything." I scratched my head and came up with this not the solution.

"Maybe we can find them along the path they took to get supplies, these people should be elite-level evolutionaries, it would be useful to recruit them." Ouyang Lizhi touched his chin and said, his eyes flashing with a light called conspiracy.

"Whatever they do, let's take care of our own affairs first, if we can't find enough supplies here, we can only ship them from home, it will be too troublesome." The pony looked at Ouyang Lizhi and pouted disdainfully, then took out the receiver and remotely controlled the drone outside and began to look for the next target.

"Look here!" Just when the pony was dismissive of him, Ouyang Lizhi found something that caught our attention again, and he pointed to the high wall and said, "Do you think the traces here are familiar?" ”

I looked up and couldn't help but look at Ouyang Lizhi with some annoyance, those traces on the wall were obviously left by the kind of reptilian corpses on the rooftop, and the density was quite large, indicating that this place was also the range of reptilian corpses, but it was very strange that except for the five on the rooftop, weishenme We didn't encounter other reptilian corpses? Are those guys hiding?

But now is obviously not the time to think about this, I looked at the sky outside, it was about to get dark, I could only pat the pony on the shoulder and said, "Put the drone away first, let's get here today, let's go back first, and wait until the space evolution is finished tomorrow." ”

Pony looked at me, nodded, and said, "Got it." ”

I looked back at Ouyang Lizhi, who was a little lonely, and said with a smile: "Thanks to you today, otherwise the two of us would not be able to analyze so much information, it seems that it is a very wise choice to bring you here." ”

"You'll find out later that you're going to be inseparable from me." Ouyang is determined to be confident and authentic.

"Less, what I like is women." I laughed as I walked, and the pony controller drone laughed too, at this time the distance between us and Ouyang Lizhi seemed to be closer, but I don't know when he will really integrate into our collective. (To be continued......)
