On the way back to the base, you will pass through the city of T, which has a population of 800,000, and in order to avoid the hundreds of thousands of zombies inside, the base clears the high-speed viaduct that crosses the edge of the city.

They were going to walk up the viaduct, and below the bridge was a crowded crowd of zombies.

So they had to go straight to the viaduct from the fork in the road twenty kilometers in front of T City, and when they passed the T City section, they had to be as quiet as possible.

Of course, if they are unlucky, they may encounter high-level zombies, and then they will not be able to avoid a battle.

Qin Zhen and Yan Mingxu left with the troops, and now there are only a few people left in Lu Yan's car, Mu Tang and Ren Yulin.

"The way back is not as easy as it sounds, is it?" Ren Yu said hesitantly.

Lu Yan held the steering wheel and did not answer.

Out of the corner of his eye, he watched Mu Tang, who was sitting in the co-pilot, leaning on the car door and drowsy, still holding half a bag of uneaten crystals in his hand.

The bag was about to fall to the ground as the fingers unconsciously loosened and loosened.

The corners of Lu Yan's mouth unconsciously hooked up a smile, and while looking at the road ahead, he reached out and took the crystal from Mu Tang's hand and put it into the space.

At this moment, the roof slammed down, a familiar "creak" sound came from the chassis, and a big fluffy tail hung from the outside of the rear window.

It's the mud that gets tired, so sit up and rest.

Mud sat on the roof of the car with his head up, his mouth wide open and his tongue sticking out, but he didn't gasp.

The habits of life are still left in the body, and when you are tired of running, you will stick your tongue out.

It's been a long time since it's been like this, and its tail hanging outside the window is flicking, and it can be seen that it's in a good mood.

Mu Tang was awakened by its jump, rubbed his eyes and sat up straight in a daze, muttering:

"Are we there?"

Lu Yan touched her head and said softly:

"It's still early, you can sleep a little longer."

Mu Tang shook his head and exhaled:

"I don't sleep."

The mud on the roof sensed that the owner was awake and poked the tip of his tail into the window.

Mu Tang subconsciously hugged his big fluffy tail and sucked hard, and the next second the mud flicked his tail excitedly, and the carriage was full of its hair.

One of them even landed on the top of Lu Yan's head.

Lu Yan sighed helplessly, and let the two bear children have a friendly exchange, and finally suddenly thought of something, and called Mu Tang in a low voice:

"Mu Tang."

Mu Tang was tugging on the mud's tail to prevent it from moving, when he turned his head when he heard the voice, and Lu Yan's advice came from his ears:

"Don't expose your mental restraint abilities unless you are forced to do so."

Mu Tang tilted his head, and finally nodded obediently:

"Okay."

Then he asked strangely:

"Why?"

Lu Yan's voice was a little dull, with a hint of mockery:

"Something that is different often attracts the covetousness and defense of others, and even plunder."

Another thing he didn't say was that the zombies they had seen so far, in addition to the natural abilities, the other was a spiritual influence similar to Mu Tang.

And all the abilities that humans possess are natural.

He couldn't guarantee that the spiritual ability was unique to zombies, and coupled with the strange man Mu Tang said, he had to raise his vigilance to the extreme.

The base has the largest database that humans can have now, and by the time we get to the base, many puzzles will be solved.

As he spoke, the entrance to the viaduct was already in sight.

The long convoy in front slowly made it up the viaduct from the entrance.

In order to ensure safety, the army sent three teams of seven people to take the lead in breaking away from the team and exploring the way.

The twenty-one people who explored the path were all third-order abilities, and if they were in danger, they could at least escape, and then return to the large army to report the situation.

Qi Yang instructed the convoy to reduce its speed by another ten yards and to be quiet.

The speed at which the entire convoy was moving can now be described as a turtle speed.

The first fifteen kilometers of the road were quite normal, but as the convoy moved, the temperature around them plummeted, and then the sky that had been shining with the sun suddenly became overcast.

Black clouds rolled and curled in the sky, and it looked like a downpour was about to fall.

The sudden gloomy weather, like a black curtain, enveloped everyone's hearts and overwhelmed people.

As the convoy progressed, the surrounding temperature could already be described as a cold winter, the edges of the windshield window were faintly frosty, and tiny droplets of water were pouring out from the inside of the glass.

If it could be understood as the cause of the weather change just now, then it is obviously abnormal.

Lin Wanwan stretched out his hand and touched it, and the water droplets flowed down his fingertips into his sleeves, arousing a coldness.

Ren Yu also realized that something was wrong, and looked around vigilantly through the car window, holding Lin Wanwan's hand tightly in the palm of his hand with one hand.

Now there are only about two kilometers left from the bridge in T City, and people can even smell the faint rancid stench from the wind.

The team in front suddenly stopped, and Lu Yan stepped on the brakes.

Many of the survivors poked their heads out of the carriage and looked left and right in horror, and one or two suddenly pointed behind them with frightened faces.

Immediately afterwards, some people got out of the car one after another, looking at the direction behind the convoy with a pale face.

Lu Yan looked through the rearview mirror and found that the lane where there was nothing just now was already foggy at this time, and the visibility was not even fifteen meters.

The smog that used to be ordinary in life has now become a giant beast that does not know its true face, entrenched in their retreat path with teeth and claws, waiting for people to enter the beast's mouth.

A soldier rode a military motorcycle all the way back and shouted:

"Go back to the car and don't talk! Get back in the car!! ”

Suddenly there was a sound of heavy footsteps beside the car, and then a huge furry figure appeared next to the jeep—

It's the mud that's back.

It seemed to have something in its mouth, and lowered its head to put the army-green figure in front of the car window.

The man twisted his neck uncomfortably, and then knocked on the window of the mist-covered car.

Lu Yan pressed the car window, it was Qi Yang.

Qi Yang poked his head into the car window, and his voice was full of heaviness:

"Something is wrong with the situation, the people who went to explore the path before have not returned, and they may have been more than lucky. You've seen what happened next, we couldn't stay where we were, we had to go back to base, so we had to keep going. ”

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows and motioned for him to continue.

Qi Yang's expression was a little embarrassed, but he still spoke:

"We want to take off the things it carries, and carrying too many things will constrain its movements."

His eyes were fixed on the mud.

Although it is not explicitly stated, the meaning is obvious.

Lu Yan didn't intend to give him this face, so he directly made his words clear:

"You want the mud to help you find your way?"

Qi Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"I'm not cheeky to this point, I mean, untie the things on its body, in case it really encounters a high-level zombie at that time, it can also be convenient to protect itself."

After a pause, he said in a difficult tone:

"If that time comes, it will also bother us to help us protect some of the wounded."

When Qi Yang said this, his face was hot.

After all, his statement on the mud has always been suspicious and wary, and he has never touched it and approached it like other fighters.

Everyone knows how dangerous high-level zombies are, and if one is not careful, there will be no corpse.

But he still borrowed it from Lu Yan with a skewed face, and asked it to fight against high-level zombies for a group of people who were not friendly to him.

Lu Yan shook his head, unable to hear what emotion he said:

"I'm not its master, I can't be the master, not to mention that it understands everything you say, you can ask it yourself if it's willing."

This answer made Qi Yang stunned, communicating with the mutant beast?!

He turned around stiffly and stumbled into the mud:

"I'd like to ask you a favor...... I'd like to ask you to take care of the wounded for us later, do you know what a wounded person is? The wounded are ......"

The mud tilted his head and looked at the person in front of him dancing and saying some strange things to himself, and whispered impatiently:

"Wang-" You don't need to explain it to me, I know what it means, it's a half-dead human like Qin Zhen.

However, Qi Yang obviously misunderstood its meaning, thinking that it was unwilling, and turned his head to look at the people in the car rather helplessly.

Mu Tang flashed his big eyes, laughed, and finally stood up to help him out:

"Mud, do you like those green people?"

This time the mud understood, tilted his head and thought about it, and touched Mu Tang's hand stretching out the window with his wet big nose.

Those people were the same as Qin Zhen, Mud could feel their kindness, and he had a good impression of them.

Mu Tang then asked:

"He wants you to wait with them to protect Qin Zhen and the people who are with him, are you willing?"

Mud flicked his tail, stood up and touched Mu Tang's hand with his nose again.

Mu Tang turned his head to Qi Yang and said:

"It says 'yes.'"

Qi Yang looked at them in a daze, and when he heard this, he almost didn't react.

After coming back to his senses, he hurriedly and solemnly saluted the mud:

"Thank you."

The mud squirted out of his nose and sprayed on Qi Yang's face.

Qi Yang didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly turned to Lu Yan and continued:

"Most of the stuff on its back can be discarded, but there's a small mechanical radar and a thermal imager, can you put it in your car?"

Even the mud agreed, and Lu Yan didn't agree to this little thing, so he nodded.

Then beckoned Ren Yu to get out of the car, and quickly unloaded the things on the mud with Qi Yang.
