Chapter 8: Out of the City
As for the crystal body that Dong Xiaxue held in her hand, Gong Moyue, who had read the novel, knew that it was a primary crystal nucleus that could allow the ability to absorb power, although it was disgusting to dig it out of the zombie's head, but she was very interested in digging some to study and study, if the crystal nucleus was also useful to the cultivator, she didn't need to hide in the space to cultivate.
Quickly adjusted her mentality, her eyes returned to a calm look, no longer startled, and her tense body was ready to meet at any time.
Because they were worried about being led by others, Dong Xiaxue and their team specially parked the reinforced off-road vehicle in the relatively remote garage behind the building yesterday.
Out of the building, the group quickly changed formation to protect Gong Moyue in the center, still Dong Xiaxue opened the road, Liu Junyan broke off, and moved towards the parking garage where the off-road vehicle was parked.
As soon as the zombies who were scattered and wandering aimlessly on the street smelled the smell of fresh meat, they immediately gathered in the direction where they were.
In the face of a few ordinary zombies who were slow to follow, in order to avoid the sound of gunfire from attracting more zombies who had not yet noticed their existence from a distance, Liu Junyan did not immediately use the M14 rifle in his hand, but straddled the rifle behind him, quickly pulled out the military broadsword sandwiched in the backpack, and with the strength and speed that was much higher than ordinary people after activating the ability, he waved his hand to cut off the heads with terrifying expressions.
Although he is not optimistic about Liu Junyan, Wu Hao and Li Feng, who are guarding Gong Moyue, are still very cooperative to cover for him, although the level is very low, Li Feng's spiritual attack can still make the actions of those zombies who attack up slow down for a moment, with the few seconds won like this, Wu Hao has easily taken off the head of the zombie that Liu Junyan has no time to take care of with the earth thorn.
Compared with the three of them, Dong Xiaxue, who opened the way in front and whose strength was also the highest in their team, was much more majestic, with the big knife in hand, it looked very energetic, and the one that was cut off made up for a few ice spikes in time, because the body transformed by the space spring water was obviously much stronger than Liu Junyan, who had the best physical strength in the team, and the ice spikes that came out were much tougher and more durable than Wu Hao's earth thorns.
This is the difference between a cultivator and an alien, Dong Xiaxue is still at ease with a dozen points of ice stabbing in a row, but Wu Hao is not good, while using the ability, it takes time to recover, which is very difficult.
Gong Moyue saw that it was quite easy for them to deal with it overall, and she was surrounded in the middle and it was difficult to make a move, so she didn't make any more moves, just vigilantly observed the situation around her.
Within a few minutes, they went around to the back of the building, dealt with the two zombies in the garage, and made it back to the buggy.
There were only four cars parked in the garage, one was Dong Xiaxue's off-road vehicle, the windows of the other two cars were covered with dried blood, and the appearance had been scrapped, and one was parked next to the off-road vehicle, a dusty black Chevrolet, and there were two young men and women in their twenties sitting in the front seat of the car.
Seeing them walk to the side of the off-road vehicle, after the two made eye contact for a while, they immediately got out of the car nervously, and when they came to Dong Xiaxue, who was the leader at a glance, the man opened his mouth first, "Hello, we are residents living in this building, my name is Chen Xianyu, and this is my wife Li Lu." ”
Dong Xiaxue smiled friendlyly, stretched out her hand and shook the man's hand, "My name is Dong Xiaxue, and several of my teammates behind me are them." ”
Seeing that the two of them had thin faces, waxy yellow skin, and obviously looked malnourished, Dong Xiaxue probably knew that they must have run out of food, and they were so hungry that they had no choice but to come out of here, which is not difficult to understand, the end of the world has come for more than a month, and those who have the courage and strength have already fled from their homes to various survivor bases, leaving behind some hiding at home, either waiting for the food to run out and being starved to death, or risking death to seek a glimmer of life.
Sure enough, the man continued, "Well, we heard the government radio that there is a survivor base called Suzaku closest to City A, are you planning to flee there?"
"The fact that we came out of there, we are now on a mission. ”
When the woman heard Dong Xiaxue say this, she immediately asked excitedly, "Are you the rescuers sent by the government?"
"No," Dong Xiaxue smiled apologetically, and looked meaningfully at Gong Moyue, who was protected by them in the middle, never moved, and was wearing "gorgeous" clothes.
The husband and wife, who had been secretly observing their team on the balcony of the house since yesterday, immediately understood what Dong Xiaxue's meaningful eyes meant, and immediately felt a little disgusted with the girl who looked like the eldest lady, Li Lu muttered dissatisfiedly, "Everyone is an equal person, why can the government send a team of supernatural people to rescue her for her alone, but no one will save us poor people?"
In the face of Dong Xiaxue's meaning and Li Lu's complaint, Gong Moyue just glanced at them coldly, and then looked away, even if she saw it in her eyes, she didn't bother to keep it in her heart, villains like to be ambitious, how could she not fulfill them, if she was unhappy one day, she cut it, why bother.
Chen Xianyu, who has always been more stable and calm than his wife, saw that the one who could make the government special protection was definitely not an ordinary person, if he offended now, even if he had the opportunity to reach the survivor base in the future, he was afraid that life would not be much better, so in the face of his wife's complaints, he still stopped her with his eyes, and then said to Dong Xiaxue in a sincere tone, "Can you take us with you?" We promise not to cause trouble to you." ”
Without waiting for Dong Xiaxue to speak, Chen Yuxian immediately raised his right hand and condensed a small whirlwind in his palm, "And I have a wind ability, I can protect my wife, I just ask you to let us follow all the way." ”
"This ......" Dong Xiaxue was a little embarrassed at first, but her eyes lit up immediately after seeing the ability of the other party, that is a wind ability, if she can grow up in the future, her strength must be immeasurable, if she takes them back to the base, she can not only sell them a favor, but also if Chen Xianyu can be brought under her command at that time, she can also strengthen the strength of her team, which will undoubtedly be of great help to her in the future to buy people's hearts and exaggerate her power.
Thinking so, Dong Xiaxue no longer hesitated, anyway, she was the captain, and the decision-making power of this team was in her hands, so she didn't ask for other people's suggestions, and nodded immediately, "Okay, you just follow us, our car is provided by the base, it is relatively strong, we go ahead on the road, you follow behind, just pay attention to the point." ”
After speaking, Dong Xiaxue was afraid that her sincerity was not enough, so she took two bottles of mineral water and a box of instant noodles from the trunk in front of everyone and gave them to Chen Xianyu and his wife.
The couple who received the food and water were simply grateful to Dong Xiaxue, and looked at her like looking at an angel.
Liu Junyan is not good at talking about his girlfriend or anything, in this troubled world, everyone is already too busy to take care of themselves, let alone help others, but this approach still makes his Xue'er's image in his mind suddenly much more perfect.
Seeing that the food that everyone had collected desperately was taken away by Dong Xiaxue and given to others on his own initiative, Wu Hao scratched Dong Xiaxue a few times, although Li Feng was dissatisfied, he did not attack because of his introverted personality, and Gong Moyue was a cold bystander from beginning to end, anyway, she didn't have to eat their food, those things that didn't taste good at first glance couldn't be compared with the food cooked by her family.
After this period of friction, seeing that the low roar of the zombies was getting closer and closer outside the garage, they didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately got into their respective cars.
According to the original discussion, Wu Hao drove first, and when the time came, Liu Junyan, another person who could drive in the team, took turns to drive, and the co-pilot seat sat in the co-pilot seat to deal with sudden changes in the situation at any time, Dong Xiaxue, who could poke out from the sunroof of the car to launch a long-range attack, Gong Moyue in the back seat was sandwiched between Liu Junyan and Li Feng, and Chen Xianyu's Chevrolet kept a distance of two cars from them and kept following behind.
In order to change shifts with Wu Hao a few hours later, Liu Junyan waited for the car to start and leaned on the window to make up for sleep, Wu Hao drove a reinforced off-road vehicle, and the zombies that could be avoided along the way were avoided, and if they couldn't be avoided, they were directly knocked down and crushed, Dong Xiaxue used binoculars to observe the road conditions along the road from time to time, and if he saw a dense group of corpses blocking the road, he would help shoot and clean up.
Gong Moyue, who was sitting in the back seat, took this opportunity to continue to exercise her divine sense, with last night's preliminary cultivation, her divine sense would no longer be as dark as when she came, but the current range of exploration is still very small, and it can only extend to within a hundred steps.
Now that she was using her divine sense outside for the first time, Gong Moyue was surprised to find that the bodies of those zombies had a turbid aura flowing, and the most concentrated of these qi was in the brain, and it seemed that due to some force, the aura gathered in the brain would gradually condense into a crystal nucleus.
And the aura in those crystal nuclei has a tendency to gradually increase, although the process is extremely slow, but there is no doubt that even ordinary zombies that have not evolved abilities will become stronger the longer they survive.
Therefore, if the humans of this world do not find an effective way to contain them as soon as possible, this planet will be occupied by zombies sooner or later.
Li Feng, who was sitting on the left hand side of Gong Moyue, faced the cold air around Gong Moyue, and he was very sensitive, and he felt a little flustered inexplicably, but the smell of Gong Moyue's body was very good, I don't know what kind of flower fragrance it was, fresh and natural, since the end of the world, he had never met a person who could still have a fragrance on his body, so ignoring the indifference she gave people, Li Feng still wanted to be friends with her, but he didn't have the courage and didn't have the time to speak.
Liu Junyan, who had already slept to death, couldn't distinguish between north and south at this time, and only felt very uncomfortable sleeping against the car window, and naturally turned his head to the other side in his sleep.
Gong Moyue, who was originally exercising her consciousness with her eyes closed, only felt that the car shook, and a head pressed against her right shoulder, making her body stiff, and she opened her eyes in disbelief and looked at the head of a strange man who was leaning on her shoulder and rubbing it because of comfort.
Can Lao Tzu cut down this surnamed Liu? Lao Tzu is not familiar with him, right? How dare he be so "presumptuous" on her shoulder!
