Chapter 458: Elegy for Nightfall
Evening.
A massive portal opens through the entrance of the rescue center, so large that it makes it seem like a van is about to open inside.
But in fact, there were only two people who came out of the portal, Yang Feng and Liu Qingling, and behind Yang Feng pulled a large freight cart with a hemp rope, on which food boxes were stacked three or four meters high like Tetris.
"Oh, I thought someone had bought off a food wholesaler again...... "The high priest came over to greet him jokingly, and helped Yang Feng take the thick hemp rope.
Just when they were wondering why Yang Feng hadn't closed the portal yet, three more figures came out of the door, and they saw three identical Yang Feng clones walking out of it, they walked to the high priest's side, and with the same movement, they took out a small stack of bank cards from their pockets and handed them to the high priest.
"This ...... It's a little flattered, as if the son-in-law is giving a bride price. The high priest looked at the eight hands in front of him, smiled awkwardly, and waved his hand for a few soldiers to come and take the bank cards.
"To be precise, we really bought off a wholesaler, and the situation in the city is much better than we expected, at least there is no such incident of people killing each other for food as some time ago. Yang Feng said, walked to the back of the freight cart, and helped the high priest push the freight cart full of food in the direction of the rear parking lot.
"Some time ago, where did people kill each other for food?" said the high priest, looking back at him in astonishment.
Yang Feng was also stunned for a moment, only to realize that he had said something wrong, "Oh, I'm sorry...... That's in the Overworld...... These two worlds are so similar that I remember them wrong......"
The High Priest nodded lightly and looked around with a worried expression, "I really didn't expect you to get so much food, we don't have a place to put it here......"
"Do you want to put it indoors?" Yang Feng said, pointing to the back door of the rescue center on the side.
"No, it's crowded enough now, and if you put it in again, there's no room to walk, I'll see...... If you look for a small pantry or something like that, food is the most valuable resource for us these days. The High Priest said, fixing his gaze on a small bungalow beside him.
"It's not all food, there's a box of medical supplies, anti-inflammatories, syringes, disinfectants, everything, I can't remember which box. Yang Feng said, turned on the perspective to look around, and saw that there were no residents living in the vicinity of them within about seventy or eighty meters.
"Then this house, this one is closer to us. The high priest said, letting go of the hemp rope in his hand, and walked towards the bungalow.
The bungalow in front of it looks very backward, and there are many such low-rise bungalows in Yang Feng's old home; although this bungalow doesn't look big, it can completely live in a small family, but what Yang Feng didn't expect was that the high priest raised his leg and kicked the door open directly after seeing that the door of the bungalow was locked.
It was not the first time that Yang Feng had seen this side of the high priest, and Yang Feng also knew that the owners of these buildings with locked doors around them should not be here now, some of them wanted to escape from here to join their relatives or family members when those flying machines that could turn people into people were prevalent some time ago, and then they became the targets of those flying machines on the way;
But these people didn't know that during those two catastrophes, they were safer at home than they were to go to anyone, and these locked houses would never have waited for their owners to return, if nothing else.
"There are a lot of people in that city, can they all line up to buy things?" After putting down the boxes, the high priest turned to Yang Feng and asked.
Yang Feng shook his head, "No, I have hardly seen people in other places, that is, the places where I found these foods are still lined up to buy things, and there are no shadows of people in other places." ”
"Oh, that shouldn't be...... It's been quite peaceful recently, except for Liang Feng and those two Yuan Dynasty rebels who have tossed around in our place, there is no big movement, why don't people go out?" The high priest squinted suspiciously at a residential area in the distance and said, "When I went out on patrol at noon today, I also saw a funeral venue, and the whole street was just their family, wearing filial piety clothes and blowing trumpets, and everyone else was watching from home. ”
"Oh, is there such a thing?" Yang Feng was a little surprised, and said that the city next door to the people had been too peaceful for so long, and people didn't dare to come out, and the people in this city had just been tossed by Liang Feng and the two rebels of the Yuan Dynasty, and there were still people who dared to come out for a funeral.
The High Priest smiled bitterly, " Harm, there are still few people killed by those flying machines and zombie fish some time ago, the trauma of human civilization is much more serious than ours, and now we have lost some large-scale magic search equipment, if those equipment are still there, we can still look at the situation in other parts of the earth, anyway, I feel that after experiencing the two crises of flying machines and zombie outbreaks, the people on the earth have lost two-thirds of them, and this third is also the result of our best efforts to rescue, and the mysterious person who helped us gather the zombies into the underground blood pool。 ”
"Actually, it's good to be able to keep these, you haven't seen a scene in another world, to put it bluntly, I was purely forced to come to this world, because almost all the humans in that world have been extinct. Yang Feng lowered his head like a weather-beaten ronin and finished speaking, and sighed.
As they spoke, they had already walked to the gate of the rescue center, they stood on the side of the road, chatting like two passers-by waiting for the bus, waiting for the end of the day, this is the second night they have officially stationed here, although from last night's logic, those infected people should not come again tonight, but they are not prophets after all, for the sake of safety, they have to continue to be on duty tonight like last night, and their mission objectives have hardly changed, if they detect a single super infected, they will still beThe "Execution Plan" was carried out.
The east-west road was soon paved with a golden sunset, and the eastern sky had turned a deep blue, and the pressure in their hearts was gradually enveloping like the solemn night in the east, because everyone could see that they could no longer withstand much tossing.
Even the ace team of "Arbiters" has now become no different from a group of ordinary soldiers, because they have almost lost all the props and weapons that are convenient for combat, and their current weapons are the most common kind of magic staff and golden spear in the extradimensional space, and the only props they carry on their bodies are the collective teleportation device and communication crystal; except for their physical fitness and combat experience, they are no different from ordinary soldiers in the extradimensional space.
What's more, they all have injuries of varying degrees on their bodies, those wounds that used to heal in a few minutes under the means of magical healing may now take a week or two or even more to heal on them, after all, they don't have Yang Feng's self-healing ability that relies purely on blood and the recovery ability that zombies bring about by the virus.
It can even be said that in the entire Alternate Dimensional Organization, all the soldiers, including the High Priest, are not as strong in their recovery ability as Liu Qingling, because Liu Qingling is also the one who has been injected with the Desolation Enhancement Elixir now.
But Yang Feng didn't regard this as a good thing, although Liu Qingling hadn't had any related adverse reactions so far, he was still afraid that Liu Qingling would suddenly one day become a monster that could adapt to mutations at any time like he predicted in his dream, after all, ...... Any positive or negative effects of this potion cannot be reversed......
"Tonight...... If you are tired, you can spend the night here with Miss Liu today, our soldiers' injuries are almost the same, there are many people here, and it is safe. The high priest said to him.
"No need, I'd better go to my original post, in fact, to be honest, now I'm really not worried about No. 001 and Liang Feng coming again, our enemies will return this together, yesterday these infected bodies still surfaced together, let them run away I really feel a pity, next time I let them meet them, I must send them to hell with my own hands. Yang Feng said.
The High Priest smiled lightly, "Actually...... You should also know what to do in your heart is the right thing to do, right? Compared to putting Liu Qingling in danger, letting them escape is undoubtedly the most correct thing to do, and they are not stupid, I knew your strength last night, and No. 001 was also hit hard by you, if I were them, I would definitely not dare to provoke you in a short time. ”
"Alas......" Yang Feng sighed, "Actually, it's okay, they don't come, let's rest for a few days, you see that this mission has boiled up our soldiers, one by one with dark circles under their eyes, it makes people feel distressed to look at, Liu Qingling also dozed off for a day today, as if he had to fall asleep when he walked." ”
"Then let's have a good rest tonight, now we are not competing with the enemy who is more powerful, but who recovers better and faster. The High Priest smiled and patted Yang Feng on the shoulder.
Yang Feng also laughed, "Yes, it's better than anyone to recover first, but we have the two of us in the way, presumably they really don't dare to act rashly, I'm hungry after a busy day, or ...... A piece of instant noodles in the bucket?"
As soon as he heard the word "instant noodles", the high priest's eyes actually lit up, "Good boy, you really know my taste, I was hungry to death after eating instant noodles with you and Qingling last time, this time I want two buckets! If you can, three buckets will do!"
They walked towards the rescue center with their shoulders on each other's shoulders like brothers, not noticing the huge black shadow swaying in the wind like the hem of the Grim Reaper's clothes under the eastern sky......
