The car turned around not long after it drove away, because I received Li Huaiqing's brainwave signal, which was different from the direct exchange of conversational messages, similar to language messages.

He said that he had been trying to contact me since dawn, but the black market's netting system had cut off his abilities, and he had to leave me a message with his newly discovered skills.

Li Huaiqing told me that they didn't rob Long Tao halfway, but followed Mei Lin back to her camp, and Gu Yu felt that Mei Lin's camp might have something I needed.

According to the time indicated in his message, they should have already mixed into the camp of Mei Lin's family at this time, and Li Huaiqing also listed the detailed route they carried out in the message.

Gu Yu hoped that I would be there, saying that if they couldn't get that kind of thing, I would do the same.

There aren't many things that help me, corpse vanilla is one, and then there's corpse mist, both of which are now extinct, and from the information recently gathered, it is revealed that after the third wave of mutation, corpse vanilla has disappeared.

The corpse mist is a specialty of Minghe City, and there is no second group in other places, so there is only one thing left to help me - the source stone!

Gu Yu and I had previously thought that the source stone was an extraterrestrial meteorite, and most of the meteorites fell in groups, and there was probably more than one source stone mine.

Thinking of this possibility, I manipulated the puppeteer to speed up, and there was nothing more important than improving my strength at the moment.

As for the parents, there is food on the helicopter, they have no problem waiting there for a few days, with Zheng Chao and Ah Ying protecting them, and ordinary zombies can't get close to the roof.

"Mommy, baby is hungry." Just as I was thinking about it, the little boy in my arms suddenly spoke.

"What are you going to eat?" I glanced at the puppet driving the car and Xie Xin in the back seat.

"Ingot Treasure."

"What?"

"Ingot Treasure!"

"You want to eat gold?"

"No, paper folded, ingots, golden, burned and eaten, I like it."

I froze when I guessed what the little boy meant, pinched the little boy's blue face, and made sure that it felt cold and textured, not illusory, and I asked the puppeteer to reverse the car back to a town we had passed.

There is a shroud shop in the town, which has ready-made gold and silver paper ingots, all packed in large plastic bags, and I still feel very mysterious when I walk to the side of the street with two large bags of paper ingots.

After a little hesitation, he lit the brazier with the little boy's expectant expression, poured a little wine into the brazier, and then quickly took out the paper ingots and threw them into the fire.

The little boy squatted obediently on the edge of the basin, opened his mouth wide to inhale the black smoke from the combustion, and smiled contentedly, this scene was absolutely stress-free to make a horror movie, thanks to my little heart is now strong enough to run away without screaming.

About a dozen paper ingots were burned, and the little boy hurriedly waved his hand at me, "Mom, I'm full, don't burn it." ”

Rubbing his stomach as he spoke, he said in a tone like a little adult: "Save some food, life is not good now." ”

I looked at the small town I was in, there were no zombies or people in this place, it was very suitable for release, so I said to the little boy: "Baby, it's safe here, you play here first, mom has something very important to do, I'll pick you up in a few days, you wait for mom to come back." ”

The little boy was stunned, and then quickly turned into a leather collar and wrapped it around my neck, the size of the collar was exactly the same size as mine, and it would have to bleed a little to break it.

The 'collar' shouted aggrievedly: "If you don't behave, I won't behave, you said the same last time!" ”

The child's thinking is very simple and rude, he was deceived once, and the next time he uses this trick it will not work, he was thrown by his mother once, and was sold by the person entrusted by his mother once, and it is normal to be extremely panicked and rebellious at the moment.

Thinking about this, I think that the words just now must have stimulated him, and besides, most children are difficult, and I cut the collar for fear that he will continue to lean on me.

Or killed?

Even I was startled by this thought, the little boy didn't hurt me, it was his credit to be able to escape from the black market, when did I become so ruthless?

If it was just a fleeting thought, I wouldn't have thought so much, but I knew that when I thought about this way of getting out, I really had a murderous intention.

Whether it's bloodthirsty desire/longing, or cold killing intent, these previously unfamiliar feelings seem to run out from time to time to find a sense of existence these days.

"Mom... Mom is angry? The baby is obedient, don't eat anymore, Mom, don't want me to ......"

The little boy was undoubtedly pitiful, but unfortunately he was unlucky, and at the moment my heart was dominated by a coldness, and although I broke off the idea of killing him, I did not sympathize with his plight in the slightest.

Fear belongs only to the weak, and I was worried that the son who raised the enemy would eventually develop a grudge, and I was worried that the little boy would know that I had killed his mother and would bite me in the future.

Now that I think about it, how can there be so much to worry about, as long as I am always stronger than him, wouldn't it?

"Your mother has become bad, she has been killed by me, I learned her magic, that's why you think of me as her." I would never have been able to say such cold words before, especially to a child.

The 'collar' was silent for a long time, I thought he didn't understand, and repeated: "Your mother is dead, she won't come to pick you up, she was killed by me, do you want to avenge her?" ”

That being said, I didn't expect a child to understand what revenge meant, and to use him to tell him such a cruel truth, it was as if my heart had been cut in two.

One is guilt, self-blame, and moral condemnation.

One is callousness, indifference, and disdain for old moral standards.

It's just that the cold one has the upper hand at the moment, and the collar around my neck is a little tighter, and I don't mind cutting it off with metal, and I can't die if I bleed a little more anyway.

I imagined that he would cry, curse, and use all the tricks of a child, but I got an unexpected rhetorical question:

"That's... Can you be my mom? ”

This voice is timid and weak, as if I am afraid that I will refuse, to say how deep and terrible a five or six-year-old child is, how to endure humiliation, and steal birth, that is a bit ridiculous.

"Why did you want me to be your mother?"

"My mother didn't come to pick me up, she didn't want me anymore, and my aunt didn't want me either, she said I was a monster, a bad boy, put me in a cage with a dog, and never hugged me."

The little boy said and suddenly changed back to his original form, his hands tightly around my neck, and although my eyes were faint, I still made a gesture of hugging him.

"You're not afraid of me, and you don't care about me, give me food ingots." The little boy counted my 'good points' and said, "Still hugging me." ”

It seemed that the last one was the key reason for him to recognize the thief as his mother, the little boy frowned in confusion, and added: "I do magic, Aunt Sun is very scared, I don't know why, but you are not afraid, you like my magic." ”

"As long as you are obedient, I can take you." Maybe one day in the future, the little boy will understand the true meaning of the revenge of killing his mother, but who guarantees tomorrow?

Tomorrow maybe we'll all die, and there's no point in dwelling on these future variables, at least for now his abilities work for me, and I can provide him with a home.

"I'm obedient! Mom~" The little boy excitedly welcomed and turned into a collar again......

I was afraid that this insecurity would not be eliminated in a day or two, so I went with him and got into the car with all the gold ingots and gold paper that I could bring with me in the shroud shop.

In fact, there are no hungry zombies that my blood can't feed, and if one meal doesn't work, I will have two meals, but the little boy is not like Zheng Chao and Long Tao, who are companions who have experienced hardships and life and death with me.

This son who picked up by hand remains to be seen, and for the time being, he can only be allowed to eat normally, but the zombies that eat ingots are really rare, and I now suspect that he has ghost blood.

"What's your name?" Sitting in the car, I asked the puppeteer to continue on his way.

"Cao Baoyang, everyone calls me baby."

"Baby, from now on, you have to be quiet, don't speak, I won't call you your name, you are not allowed to move."

"yes, okay."

Cao Baoyang's ability is very special, he may be a Dao life amulet, so he must be used at the right time to play an important role.

On the way out of the black market, we encountered other vehicles, and even pedestrians on foot passed by our cars, which gave me the illusion that order was being re-established, and these cars and people were heading in the direction of the black market.

Of course, the illusion of prosperity only appears in the area near the black market, because the zombies within a hundred miles of the surrounding area have either moved north or have been cleared, and vehicles and pedestrians can pass with confidence.

Although there are so few cars and pedestrians that we didn't even notice when we came yesterday, it's a rare thing in today's world, especially if you meet someone of the same kind who hurts each other without seeing each other.

The highway from the Black Market to Merlin's camp is fairly clean, which means that there is very little traffic and the towns on the way are just as scarce.

More than 400 kilometers of driving, usually it takes about 8 hours to drive, but now the snow has slowed down the speed, but fortunately, there are no other cars on the road, let alone speed limits, and puppets are not afraid of deducting points and paying fines.

But the gas stations on the road were all scrapped, and the car turned off halfway through, and there was still a long way to go before the last stop where Li Huaiqing marked the coordinates.

I looked at Xie Xin and her bodyguards, pushed the car door and stepped out of the car, two metal spikes suddenly pierced their necks, the windows were stained with blood, I closed the car door and used teleportation to continue moving towards the destination.

I thought that Cao Baoyang would be unable to help but make a sound when I killed someone, at least surprised, but he was very quiet and really obedient.

Shigang City is one of the important mining areas in the north, and my destination is a large mine outside Shigang City, with family areas nearby, as well as schools, hospitals, shopping malls and other living places.

This mine is completely different from the one in the mountains, one is large and the other is regular, and the Merlin family uses this area as a camp, and the living conditions are much better than other places.

Because of the use of teleportation and shadowing, and because it was dark again, the barricade outpost outside the camp didn't notice me at all, and Gu Yu's situation was unknown, so I had to sneak in first.

Drifting into the living quarters where people were moving, looking at the festive decorations lit up everywhere, I vaguely heard the person in charge of setting them up say that someone was getting married tonight.

Then the more I listened, the more I felt that it was wrong, what Miss Merlin, what new handsome guy?

"But no, the boss is about to vomit blood, what do you say is good about that kid, why did he get into Miss Merlin's eyes?"

"Hehe, the boss is a sister control, Miss Mei Lin will vomit blood to whoever she marries!"

"Who do you say, Merlin is going to marry?" I floated over to the two of them who were hanging red lanterns and asked quietly.
