There is no place to rest, there was originally a sofa in the living room, but a muddy dog occupied the entire first floor, and everyone could only find a random place on the second floor and sit on the ground.

Lu Yan, the owner of this house, didn't let people in, Qin Zhen pushed open the door of the baby room, saw the blood on the ground and in the crib, and closed the door silently.

Everyone sat down in the corridor on the second floor.

Finally out of danger and safe for the time being.

Everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed, and they all leaned against the wall with some prostration, breathing a long sigh of relief.

Lu Yan brought some food and water to them.

A few people hadn't eaten for a long time, so they were not polite, and reached out to take it.

When Lu Yan gave the water droplets to Ren Yu, his head was buried very deeply, and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, so he just whispered:

"Thank you."

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows, he actually had a good impression of this young man, he did not lack the decisiveness to do things, and at the same time he was sincere to his companions.

Lu Yan thought that if they were companions, he would actually be willing to give his back to this young man.

"You seem terrible, if you don't mind, you can talk to me later."

Except for the gloomy kid at the back, these students are actually quite good, and Lu Yan is now willing to pull them wherever he can.

When Ren Yu heard Lu Yan's words, his body stiffened obviously, but he didn't speak, he just buried his head lower.

Qin Zhen bit the bread in his mouth, drank the water in a big gulp, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes when he looked at this situation:

"Lu Yan, do you know each other?"

Lu Yan nodded: "We have met before, and we have taken them for a short distance." ”

Qin Zhen didn't ask again after hearing this, of course he knew that with Lu Yan's temperament, it was already the maximum to be willing to take unrelated people for a while, and it was impossible to take them all the time.

"Cold-blooded bastard." Qin Zhen muttered.

"I hear you."

Lu Yan's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, Qin Zhen was startled, and hurriedly raised his head, looking at Lu Yan's slightly ridiculous and cold eyes.

Qin Zhen said angrily:

"I heard it, I heard it, what, is there a problem with what I said?"

Lu Yan shook his head.

Qin Zhen snorted coldly.

But he knew in his heart that Lu Yan was different from him, and since he was transferred a few years ago, they have been completely different.

The country needs him to defend the country and the people, and it is his responsibility to protect the safety of the people.

also needs Lu Yan like this, the task is the first, life and death are out of the way of the secret operation force, for Lu Yan, completing the task is the highest priority, followed by himself.

Therefore, although he only complained in his mouth, he did not feel strange in his heart.

Lu Yan leaned against the wall, his eyes were distracted, and he didn't know what he was thinking, Qin Zhen sat next to him and suddenly reached out and patted his leg.

Lu Yan lowered his head, Qin Zhen handed over a cigarette, and said with a smile:

"What's the matter, I haven't smoked it for a long time, and I was lucky in the last days, and I just brought a few in the car."

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, his expression was a little dazed, but he still took it after a while.

Qin Zhen touched his pocket and found that the lighter had dropped, so he beckoned to Ren Yu next to him:

"Boy, come here."

Ren Yu sighed helplessly, got up from the ground, rubbed his thumb and index finger, lit a fire for Qin Zhen, hesitated for a while, and stretched out his burning finger in front of Lu Yan.

Lu Yan lit a cigarette on his fire and said lazily:

"Thank you."

Ren Yu shook his head and sat back.

Lu Yan took a hard breath, the familiar bitterness penetrated into his throat, and the nerves that had been tense finally relaxed a little.

The entire second floor was filled with smoke for a while.

Mu Tang finished the mud downstairs, walked upstairs briskly, and smelled the smell of smoke all over the room as soon as he came up.

"What are you doing?"

As soon as Lu Yan heard Mu Tang's voice, he subconsciously poked the cigarette in his hand on the wall!

A small black mark burned out on the white wall, and the spark was instantly annihilated.

Qin Zhen looked at his movements, gasped in distress, and hurriedly reached out to get it:

"Eh, you're ......"

Lu Yan avoided his hand and hid the cigarette behind him.

Mu Tang came over in a hurry, curiously stood on his toes and glanced behind Lu Yan, and asked suspiciously:

"What's behind you?"

Lu Yan's face did not change color, his fingertips loosened, and the remaining half of the cigarette fell to the ground, and he was trampled on the soles of his feet in an instant:

"Nothing." Then he spread out his hand and shook it in front of Mu Tang.

Qin Zhen looked at the cigarette butt showing a corner of the sole of his shoe, only to feel that his heart hurt even more, and he couldn't wait to break his foot now.

Mu Tang was a little disbelieving, and looked down again.

Lu Yan silently crushed the cigarette butts on the soles of his shoes a few more times.

Qin Zhen was about to cry next to him, and pleaded in his heart:

"Little Ancestor, don't look at it and go quickly."

Mu Tang couldn't hear his heart, but Lu Yan seemed to hear it and looked down at him.

Qin Zhen's eyes almost set Lu Yan's feet on fire.

Lu Yan estimated that after a while, he was really going to come over and lift his feet, turned his head and said to Mu Tang:

"Mu Tang, everyone is tired, go down and let the mud be honest, let the sofa out, let them rest, I'll talk to Lao Qin for a while."

Mu Tang stretched out his hand in front of Lu Yan, and his chin nodded.

Lu Yan didn't react for a while:

"What's wrong?"

Mu Tang looked at his face aggressively and muttered:

"You said you brought me crystals."

Lu Yan couldn't cry or laugh, it turned out that the snacks were gone.

took out a bag of crystals from the space and put them in Mu Tang's palm, then touched her head, and said with a smile:

"Go ahead."

Mu Tang happily walked downstairs with a group of people.

And Qin Zhen on the side had already forgotten the cigarette under Lu Yan's feet, and watched Mu Tang go downstairs with a bag full of crystals in a daze, and said in a daze:

"Holy shit, that's a crystal?"

Lu Yan didn't care much about "um".

"You give her so many crystals to play with?!" Qin Zhen's voice rose suddenly.

Lu Yan glanced at him strangely:

"It's not playing, crystals are for absorption."

"What are you kidding, such a big bag is enough for her for half a year!" Qin Zhen said in disbelief.

"Half a year?"

This time it was Lu Yan's turn to be surprised, after all, such a bag of crystals usually lasted for two days at most when it arrived in Mu Tang's hands, and Mu Tang could eat them all.

Qin Zhen took out a yellow crystal from his pocket and handed it to Lu Yan:

"This is a second-order zombie crystal, I absorb it quickly, it will take a week to absorb a piece."

"Second Order?" Do these zombies still have an evolution level?

Qin Zhen glanced at Lu Yan strangely:

"You don't even know that? How long has it been since you had contact with the base?! ”

Lu Yan did not answer, but said:

"You go on."

Qin Zhen glanced at him hesitantly, and then said:

"A month ago, we found out that zombies have an evolutionary trend, and the degree of purification is different, so we divided them into levels."

"First-order zombies are the zombies we first saw, they have no intelligence, and the crystals are transparent."

"Second-order zombies are like children who have just been enlightened, with a little sense of self, and they are beginning to have a differentiated personality, some will become more manic, and some will not take the initiative to attack people, at this time their crystals are yellow."

Lu Yan suddenly thought of the group of zombies he saw in the shopping mall, and there were indeed zombies sitting in the corner, not daring to step forward.

"The consciousness of the third-order zombie has begun to mature, and it has the ability to think simply and independently, and at the same time, it has the same abilities as us, and even more lethal, and the crystal is green."

"Next is the highest-order zombie we found, the fourth-order zombie, and the crystal is blue. The consciousness is no different from that of an adult, but the destructive power is a hundred times that of a third-order zombie, and they have the ability to regenerate. ”

Qin Zhen's face was full of solemnity, and he said in a deep voice:

"There is an individual case of a 40-person team being slaughtered by fourth-order zombies in the base, if there are no high-level abilities in the team, encountering fourth-order zombies is equivalent to encountering death."

Lu Yan suddenly remembered the zombie whose head was twisted and cut off by Mu Tang, with a powerful ability, crystal green and blue, and should be about to evolve to the fourth order.

From this point of view, Mu Tang's level seems to be higher, but she doesn't seem to have any other special abilities except for the great improvement of her physical functions.

At this moment, Qin Zhen next to him suddenly smiled bitterly:

"But based on data monitoring, we speculate that zombies have most likely produced fifth-order zombies, and we boldly speculate that they can easily break through the base's defenses."

His face was full of bitterness:

"Heh, Lu Yan, I sometimes wonder if God wants to format human beings, but now in this situation, it is already difficult to live, and it is even more impossible to restore the world to its original state."

As he spoke, he spread his hand in front of Lu Yan, and the crystal in his hand suddenly emitted a faint light, and then turned into dust little by little, turning into his palm.

"You know what? Compared to zombies, it's really too difficult for human beings to improve, such a crystal, it takes a week to absorb it, and I'm still fast. ”

"But zombies don't need to, they can evolve by eating people, and they can be purified by cannibalism, which is much easier than us."

Lu Yan was in a trance, and in just a few minutes, he had a new understanding of the current world.

The crystal in Qin Zhen's hand, Mu Tang only needed to throw it in his mouth and chew it and swallow it, and it was only a few seconds for him to absorb it.

I didn't expect it to take a week for them to absorb.

Is it that he has been going too smoothly all along, so he doesn't realize that it is difficult for others to live in this world?

Qin Zhen stuffed the crystal in his hand back into his pocket, suddenly turned his head and asked:

"By the way, I just saw you give crystals to your daughter-in-law, have you awakened your spatial ability?"

Lu Yan didn't have the strength to argue with him about whether Mu Tang was his wife or not, so he just nodded, and Qin Zhen's eyes suddenly showed a trace of disappointment:

"People like you have only awakened the spatial ability......"

There are so many abilities awakened in the end times, but the spatial ability is quite weak, it can't improve combat effectiveness, and at the same time, it can carry very few things, and it can only be used as logistics.

Qin Zhen didn't expect that Lu Yan, a person with such strong ability, would only awaken such a chicken ability, and he was very sympathetic in his heart, and couldn't help patting Lu Yan's shoulder:

"It's okay, the spatial ability is also good, you can bring more supplies, anyway, you have good skills. By the way, how much space do you have......"

Lu Yan's perception of this world has begun to waver, thought about it, and said tentatively:

"A hundred ......?" Actually, it's two football fields.

"What?!! 100 to flat!! Qin Zhen screamed fiercely, his face full of disbelief:

"Are you sure?!"

Lu Yan: "......" Is this less?

Qin Zhen had already shouted: "The comrades with the highest spatial level in our base only have about twenty square meters, and you actually have more than a hundred square meters?!" ”

Twenty flat?! So little.

Qin Zhen's depressed mood just now had been swept away, and he stood up excitedly and patted Lu Yan's shoulder, laughing and laughing:

"Hahaha, worthy of being my brother, just amazing, top-notch in everything. When you go out in the future, you don't know how much ammo you can bring, so good!! ”

Speaking of this, something suddenly came to mind, and he continued:

"By the way, which base are you, I'll go back and let the lieutenant general contact you and let you transfer to our base!"

Lu Yan remembered the matter of the base, and still had no contact with the base, hoping that Qin Zhen would know something, so he said:

"I've lost contact with the base, and I haven't received a response for a long time."

Qin Zhen's face, which was still laughing heartily just now, froze suddenly, and only after a while did he ask tentatively:

"Xiao Lu, what is the base you belong to?"

"Base of Tomorrow."

At this time, Qin Zhen had no smile on his face at all, and Lu Yan's heart sank when he looked at his expression.

At this time, Qin Zhen's gloomy voice came from his ears:

“…… Tomorrow's base, which fell half a month ago. ”
