Chapter 70: Revisiting the Old Place
CHAPTER XXXI
Revisit
Two days later, Rocky and Pony embarked on their own journey, in these two days we deliberately avoided the topic of him and Pony leaving, just silently prepared for their trip, Qi Yuhang, Pony and Lu Fengqiu modified a flat-headed truck, installed two cannons and two rocket nests on it, and added a radio station removed from the plane, Pauline was also surprisingly gentle to Rocky in the past two days, and made this kid happy, and secretly told me in private, This may be the most tender period of Pauline to him in this life, and I am really speechless when I look at his stupid happiness and virtue.
When we said goodbye, everyone calmly said goodbye to each other, as if they were saying goodbye to each other at the end of the party, until Rocky and Pony drove away from our sight, Pauline couldn't help but lean on Wen Na's arms and cry bitterly, Qi Yuhang waved his hand and shouted loudly in the direction they left: "You must come back......"
Looking at the eight people and a dog left around me, I couldn't help but feel a sense of loss when I thought about the lively scene of a large group of us in the past, but at this time I could only cheer up and say to everyone: "Let's all go back, I believe they will come back, we can't just be idle, the training that should be done still can't be left behind, everything will return to normal from today onwards, don't think about being lazy." ”
"Okay~" A group of people agreed weakly before walking back, Wen Na handed Lele and Chen Xin to Bao Lin, who was calmer, and then quietly pulled me, I willingly slow down The two of us soon fell behind everyone, and I looked at the distance from everyone before I asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
Wen Na pursed her lips tightly, frowned slightly, and said, "In the past two days, I have examined the samples left by Lao Chen and Zou Ming, as well as the zombies you destroyed, and found some problems. ”
I looked at her strangely and said, "Didn't your equipment blow up?" How can it still be tested? ”
Wen Na glanced at me and said, "I am now a third-order evolution, and I can conduct a preliminary test and distinguish the genes, which means that it is impossible for someone like Luo Miaomiao to blend into our team again." ”
"Oh," I asked, "what did you find?" ”
Wen Na hugged her arms and lowered her head and thought for a while: "I found two problems, first, our collective evolution this time is not a normal evolution, it should be interfered by external factors, even your evolution may be interfered with by this factor, second, those zombies' genes have been strengthened, although they have not reached the level of mutation, but compared to before, these ordinary zombies are stronger and more aggressive, they are probably not confined to one place as long as they are not stimulated as before, and they are likely to start large-scale autonomous wandering." ”
I couldn't help but be shocked when I heard Wen Na's words, the first point Wen Na said I had already been prepared, after all, everyone evolved for no reason, which is not normal in itself, but the second point I was not mentally prepared at all, if it was really like Wen Na said, we and Rocky would be in big trouble, especially Rocky They are no different from sending them to death when they act alone now, I said with annoyance: "Why didn't you say it earlier." "I ran to the tower, and I was going to call them back by radio.
Wen Na grabbed me and said, "What are you going to do?" ”
I turned around and said, "I'll call Rocky and the ponies back, it's too dangerous for them to go out like this." ”
Venna dragged me and said, "I've already told Rocky about this, and he won't let me tell you about it first." ”
I said angrily, "How can you hide this from me? What if Rocky had a three-long and two-short one? ”
Wen Na asked me very calmly: "If I stopped you from fighting Luo Ao alone, would you agree, you men are not all virtuous, there are always things that must be done by yourself, we can't stop you, can you stop Rocky them?" ”
Wen Na's words made me lose my temper immediately, and Rocky also told me the same thing, it seems that if you want to control others, you must first control yourself, otherwise anyone can make you speechless, I scratched my head anxiously and said, "Then what should I do?" Just watch them go on adventures? What are we doing here? ”
Wen Na chuckled: "Things are not as dangerous as you think, at least the liliang increase of ordinary zombies is not very large, and they are all second-order evolved people, there shouldn't be any problems, but there is one thing I don't know whether to say or not." ”
I looked at Wen Na a little embarrassed, and I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart, looking at her and said gently: "Didn't I say that I will handle anything, no matter what you ask, I will do it." ”
Wen Na smiled shyly when she heard this, her face suddenly covered with a layer of redness, and she looked at me and said, "This is not something you can do alone, you need everyone's help, but the danger is too great, I don't know how to tell everyone." ”
I frowned and asked, "Tell me about it first." ”
Wen Na thought for a moment and said, "I need a batch of equipment so that I can further study the current situation of genetic evolution, especially I want to find out the cause of this genetic mutation, otherwise I am afraid that we will face a greater danger and that unknown danger." ”
I said why Wen Na is so hesitant, the equipment she wants is in the city and now this situation is undoubtedly extremely dangerous to enter the city, I thought for a while and said: "You are very right, we must figure out our current situation, if we just silently accept these unknown changes, we will be finished sooner or later, I will tell you about this matter, you don't have to worry." ”
Wen Na nodded and said, "I know that this matter is very dangerous, if everyone disagrees, forget it, after all, I can't let everyone take risks because of my speculation." ”
I shook my head and smiled, "Don't worry, they'll understand." After saying that, I walked side by side with Wen Na to the tower.
At dinner, I told everyone what Wen Na had told me, and at the end I said to everyone: "It's very risky, but I think it's still necessary, we have to control our own destiny, I won't assign anyone this time, I hope you can volunteer." With that, I glanced at the crowd.
"I'll go." The first one to raise his hand turned out to be Liu Xu, he put down his hand and said: "My liliang can control zombies, and it will help you a lot." ”
I smiled and nodded to him, and Qi Yuhang whispered beside him: "Damn, let him take the lead." "It was a whisper, but everyone present heard it.
I picked up the chopsticks and threw them at him and scolded with a smile: "What are you doing weird, you kid have the final say on whether you go or not, and if you don't want to, you can give me an honest cat." ”
Qi Yuhang dodged the chopsticks I threw over and said with a smile: "How can I not go!" For so long, that operation was missing me? I was just thinking about what equipment I needed for this operation to let Brother Liu take the lead, otherwise I would have raised my hand a long time ago. ”
Looking at Qi Yuhang's rogue expression, I said helplessly: "You kid talk a lot, stay honest with me, and you will definitely be indispensable when the time comes." After speaking, I looked at everyone and said, "Is there anything else you want to attend?" ”
Everyone relaxed a lot after being stirred up by Qi Yuhang, and after a while, everyone raised their hands, even Lele and Chen Xin, two little children, raised their little hands and kept dangling in front of my eyes, I smiled and pressed my hands to signal everyone to put their hands down, and then said: "This operation will not need too many people, and there can't be no one to guard here, since everyone agrees to participate, then I will assign tasks, I hope everyone can be prepared." ”
Everyone agreed after listening to my words, and then we carefully analyzed the content and steps of this operation, Zuihou decided that I, Qi Yuhang, Liu Xu and Lu Fengqiu would go into the city to find the equipment that Wen Na wanted, and the others would stay to guard the airport, the reason why Uncle Bao was left behind was because we felt that it was safer for one physical strength evolver to match two mental power evolutionaries, in fact, the two little guys Lele and Chen Xin were no longer a burden to us now, Chen Xin was a first-order physical strength evolver, His Liliang is already very amazing, he has the ability to protect himself, Lele is even more of the second order of the evolution Dao, she can now disguise the entire tower, she can't see what is here from the outside, and even when necessary, she can make the entire tower invisible, of course, the consumption of this seems to be greater for her, and then with the addition of a Mu Flute who is also a second-order evolution, their safety can still be reassured.
As for the four people who participated in the operation, Qi Yuhang belongs to the electromechanical expert, he is already a second-order, and now he is not just controlling the electromechanical equipment, as long as the performance of the electromechanical equipment that he touches will show different degrees of improvement, and now he can use mental power to control the operation of the equipment, think about his ability before he was still the object of ridicule and now he has become the absolute main force, I estimate that as he continues to advance, the role of this kid Qi Yuhang may exceed all of us.
Liu Xu needless to say, his audio control is not only very effective on zombies now, but can even have an impact on ordinary people, although it will not reach the level of control, but it will make people unable to concentrate, of course, it has no effect on me, a third-order master, but it is definitely a headache for people of the same level or low level as him, on the contrary, I and Lu Fengqiu, two people who have evolved physically, are more like fighters in this operation, but it doesn't matter that I have always been the ultimate combat force in the team, I'm used to this kind of identity, as for Lu Fengqiu, he is just a first-order rookie, so he can only follow behind as a little brother.
After everything was ready, the four of us took a flat-headed truck with enough fuel to the direction of the city, the reason why we didn't choose to use a helicopter was because Qi Yuhang also had to bring back some equipment and materials, and the helicopter couldn't fit so many things, so we chose a military flat-headed truck, after going on the road, Qi Yuhang showed us his powerful ability, I saw him sitting in the driver's seat with his eyes slightly closed, and his hands around his chest, but the car could drive quickly and steadily, and the steering wheel rotated on its own. The sound of the engine is no longer the roar of a truck, but the low beep of a car, and it can be seen that this kid's ability is really not covered.
But there is always a limit to things, less than thirty minutes after departure, Qi Yuhang, this kid ran out of mental power because of the mess, barking like a dead dog to rest, so angry that I slapped him on the head and threw him into the back seat, Lu Fengqiu took his place as the driver, but it turned out that without Qi Yuhang's control, the big truck returned to its original state, but according to Lu Fengqiu, this truck is much lighter and more agile than others, It seems that Qi Yuhang's ability will cause some permanent changes to electromechanical equipment, which is a new discovery.
At almost noon, we returned to the place where Xiang Ye and they died, that is, the bombed-up arsenal, there is nothing left here now, only a big pit, scattered around some shrapnel and some blown up garbage, and the heavy rain a few days ago made a lot of water accumulate in this deep pit, and it has not evaporated until now, forming a puddle that is not big or small, Liu Xu became a little excited when he arrived here, sitting on the ground and looking at the direction of the puddle, muttering with tears streaming down his face, as if telling something, I asked Qi Yuhang and Lu Fengqiu to be in charge of the surrounding guards, while I myself came and walked towards the puddle.
I walked to the edge of the pit and knelt on my knees, kowtowed respectfully three times, and said in a low voice: "Master, I have avenged you, and I will pass on your kung fu, so you can bless us in heaven when you are old." With that, I kowtowed three more times before I stood up.
I turned around and was just about to leave, suddenly there was a sound of water behind me, I instinctively turned to the side, a black line passed by me, I reached out to grab the tail of the black line, and suddenly felt a shock in my hand, the momentum of this thing is not small, I saw that the thing in my hand turned out to be a strange fish that I had never seen, this guy has more than a foot long full of fangs, the scales on the body have become diamond-shaped bone armor, the fins on the back are like a serrated steel knife is still opening and closing, after I caught the strange fish struggling violently, It is futile to try to break free, but no matter how much it struggles.
The movement on my side immediately alarmed the others, and the three of them immediately gathered around me with guns, Qi Yuhang looked at the strange fish in my hand and showed a disgusting expression and said, "What is this thing so disgusting!" ”
Liu Xu brushed his hair and wiped the tears on his face and said, "Where did this thing come from?" ”
I turned my head and pointed to the puddle and said, "It jumped out of there, and it looked like it was very aggressive." ”
The three of them poked their heads and looked at the puddle, Qi Yuhang shook his head and said, "Impossible, this puddle has only been formed for four or five days, how can there be such a big fish?" Besides, where did this fish come from, did it fall from the sky? ”
Lu Fengqiu pouted and looked at the strange fish in my hand and said: "As the old saying goes, thousands of years of fish roe, 10,000 years of grass seeds, when there was a drought in the past, the reservoir in the village was dry and quacked, and there were still fish fry coming out of a heavy rain, which is not unusual, but this guy is too evil, and it has grown so big in just a few days!" ”
But I wasn't in the mood to study this disgusting thing, I slapped the strange fish on the head and the thing immediately stopped, I looked at the strange thing with disgust and threw it back into the puddle, and as a result, a fish stirred up a thousand waves, and as soon as the strange fish fell into the water, more than a dozen waterlines gathered around, and there was a frantic scramble around the strange fish, and soon there was a red wave in the muddy puddle, and the puddle fell into calm as if nothing had happened.
I waved my hand to signal them to leave quickly, and the three of them followed me back to the truck as soon as they woke up, and Qi Yuhang shouted as soon as the door was closed: "This is too fucking scary, and if you run into a Xiaoqiang like this, you can eat people." ”
Lu Fengqiu sighed and said: "It's not uncommon for people to eat people these days, if you can live one day, maybe you will die one day, alas." Lu Fengqiu's lonely expression showed that the unbearable experience still had a huge impact on him.
I lit a cigarette and took a hard puff and said, "Since I don't know when I will die, our buddies will live happily, and we will die vigorously on the day we die. ”
Qi Yuhang said while driving the car: "Brother Fei is right, death is a hair!" Our buddies are going to live happily and die vigorously. ”
Lu Fengqiu was also infected by this kind of passionate emotion, clenched his fists and said: "I picked up a life at the beginning of the disaster, and I picked up another life when you came out of Luo Ao's hands. ”
"Cough~cough~cough~" Liu Xu coughed lightly a few times, we thought that he was also moved by our bold words and wanted to express some emotion, but the head of the goods did not raise his eyes and said: "Can you put out the cigarette?" It affects the air in the carriage too much. ”
"Damn," the three of us were speechless for a long time, and we gave him three stout middle rods in unison
