Chapter 160: Quiet Time
Looking at the invisible blade quickly sharpening the originally messy tree roots, I knew that this was Gu Yu's ability to improve again, and walked to him and stood still, but I couldn't read a word of the typed manuscript in my stomach.
Gu Yu is not a taciturn person, he is just more serious, when I first contacted him, I felt that this person was very unkind, but after getting along for a long time, I couldn't help but sigh that he was too 'human'.
"Hey, this wooden wall, it's like a bandit's cottage." The words of comfort rolled around my mouth a few times, and finally I swallowed them back, and what came out was a pretended light-hearted joke.
"Yes, the owner of the village." Gu Yu cleaned up the branches and forks and glanced at me very facelessly.
His personality has changed significantly since he met me, and although he is in a bad mood at the moment, he still knows to cooperate with me to liven up the atmosphere.
From the first time I met Gu Yu, he was the core of the team, my backbone, and with him, I could always relax my brain and even let myself go.
He is not a porcelain doll that needs to be cared for, not to mention the knot in his heart, others can't help if they want to help, so he can only wait for him to figure it out himself.
"I forgot to tell you that I don't have those abilities I used to have." I said and paused deliberately for a moment, waiting for Gu Yu's reaction.
He really stopped what he was doing, his bright eyes first dimmed, and then he was replaced by perseverance: "It's okay, I'm here." ”
I felt that I couldn't sell Guan Zi anymore at this time, so I took the initiative to hold his arm, shook my head and smiled: "What are you doing?" Don't be in a hurry to feel sorry for me yet, I'm a blessing in disguise this time, do you know the psychic ability? ”
"I know, Xiao Li was injured by a psychiatric ability, and no one has awakened this ability during the first and second mutation waves."
"That's right, and even after the third mutation, there are very few people who awaken this ability, so few that it can be ignored, and the few who exist are very difficult to level up, because they can't level up by devouring their own kind or zombies."
"You controlled the psychic powers?"
"Ah, when I was outside the cave, there was a kid who sneaked up on me, and I was turned back, and by the way, I put some mutant cells out, I know myself and the other, Mei Shao has two spiritual abilities under him, both of them are D-level, fortunately Li Huaiqing met D-level, otherwise... It is estimated that Shenshui will not be able to save him. ”
"What about you, are you hiding something from me, that four-sided zombie, I heard Xiao Han say that it was a king-level zombie, I'm sorry."
I'm sorry what, I'm a little annoyed, it's not something he can control when he encounters a king-level zombie, so why should he take responsibility for himself?
"Gu Yu, if I am a person who needs to be protected all the time, I died early in the early stage of the disaster, and now this world still expects to be a flower and be protected by people for a lifetime, and people will not live long, everyone is trying to become as strong as possible, and it is good for me to have the opportunity to face king-level zombies."
Perhaps it was that there had never been such a serious expression on my face before, Gu Yu was stunned, and smiled bitterly with a hint of shame: "I'm sorry." ”
"You're not sorry for anyone, you're not God."
Gu Yu lowered his eyes, and when he looked at me again, the corners of his mouth finally pulled into a faint smile, and he said something irrelevant: "You are not only cunning, but also powerful." ”
At the sudden compliment, I blushed and hummed, 'Of course,' and then the two of them looked at each other and chuckled, and the atmosphere seemed to be warmed by the warm sun of early spring.
Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, I said, "Spiritual abilities are rare, and spiritual zombies are even rarer, and the good news I want to tell you is that I have swallowed the spiritual abilities of zombies on all sides, and I roughly estimate ...... It's a first-class class that dominates one side. ”
After going around for a long time, I just wanted to show off his new ability to him, and I also wanted him to be happier when he learned the news.
The so-called 'dominant' is an adjective I figured out after listening to the science of the dude in the dark market, and if the range of the ability can affect the entire city, then it should be appropriate to use the metaphor of the dominant side.
"Congratulations, congratulations." Gu Yu pulled out the arm that I was holding, grabbed my shoulder instead, and said, "My ability has also been upgraded, let's work together, and we can dominate both sides." ”
I put my arms around his waist and smacked him in the face, thinking that it was a blessing that the mother stone didn't hurt him, but I didn't dare to ask him about his abilities on the way, who would have expected such a big surprise to fall down.
Thinking about it, the experience of the two of us this time is quite similar, before the strength was promoted, there were times when I couldn't use the ability, although I was by devouring the zombies on all sides, he was through the mother stone, but the way to the end is the same, and the result is gratifying and stronger than anything else.
After the surprise attack, we went our separate ways, there were always emergencies to worry about, and we were busy taking care of the sick for the past three days, and now we were hugging our beloved, and that kind of outright longing began to come back.
I immediately turned into Gu Yu's back pendant, lying on his back and watching him continue to make wooden stakes, pressing my cheek against the back of his head, not wanting to leave him for a second.
A new place of residence is in ruins, and I just want to enjoy this moment of tranquility, staring at the blue sky in a daze, and wrapping my arms around Gu Yu's shoulders.
The scenery around this county town is beautiful, facing the mountains on one side, dense forests on both sides, and a small river running through the city, but now the river is frozen, and in early summer, everything recovers, the city is full of greenery, and the river water is crystal clear, and then this almost isolated place will be our paradise.
Gu Yu naturally encircled the river into the wooden wall, the wooden wall can only block animals and ordinary zombies, for now, it is enough, there are not many high-level zombies coming in.
When we arrived, we found that it was an empty city, and the door of the inn was locked from the outside, and the sign that was closed said that the owner was in trouble.
There are indications that before the first wave of mutations, many people in the small town were infected, and there was no regular hospital in this place, and people with high fevers must have been accompanied by their families to nearby big cities for treatment.
And the ordinary people who survived at that time also packed up their things and left after the power and food were cut off, and I saw several notes left for their families alone.
So the small town we saw was quiet and peaceful, the doors of every house were locked, and it was clear that the owner did not panic much when he left.
I didn't touch the notes, leaving them in their place, and I marked the door of the person with the note, and maybe the owner of the house would come back at some point, though I knew it was very unlikely.
Surrounded by a wooden wall, Gu Yu walked back with me on his back, we didn't use teleportation, and enjoyed the world of two people for a while.
I slowly told Gu Yu about my experiences after separation, including meeting Li Duo in the black market, as well as the hidden Qin Ye, Xie Xin's fate and so on.
Of course, the security zone and the cold war in the capital are the top priority, and there are some things that Gu Yu already knows through Zhou Li's clairvoyance, but Zhou Li can only describe the picture, not the hidden situation.
Gu Yu waited for me to finish speaking before he said: "Tuya's death can't be changed, Tumu is not a high-spirited person, he will only use Tuya's death to fight for his own best interests." ”
So? So my previous thoughts were still a bit naïve, whether it was Tuya or Feiyun Concubine, they couldn't cause a war between the two giants.
"Anyway, now they both suspect each other and can't form a 'family'."
I'm a little regretful.,When I used to go to school, those people in the dormitory loved to watch what house fights、Palace fight-type TV series.,I'm not interested.,It's really 'fighting' to use less hate.。
This regret blurted out, and it was immediately refuted by Gu Yu: "In the face of absolute power, intrigue and trickery are just pediatrics. ”
"You're right, no matter who you are in the future, if you don't accept it, I will beat him into a fool and a vegetative person."
may have been stimulated by the successive losses of troops in the past few days, Gu Yu did not refute my anti-social words with a righteous attitude, and he also lowered his head and said 'good'.
I secretly laughed in my heart, and said in my heart, is the righteous hero going to take revenge on society?
Smoke rose from the small town, and Gu Yu built the wooden wall a little far away from the house, saying that this was to prevent mutated animals from breaking in, so everyone had time to prepare.
There is a homemade 'alarm' on the wooden wall, and there is about five minutes of reaction time from the time the alarm is touched to the time a possible intruder runs into the town.
Five minutes is not enough for people to evacuate, but it is enough to wake up the Ability, if a mutated animal breaks in, the Ability can deal with it, and the others cannot run.
If it wasn't an animal, but a high-level zombie or other supernatural person, it wouldn't be able to run at all, so Gu Yu's alarm was still very targeted.
The smoke we saw came from the two huts next to the inn, and the inn used a gas canister that had long since run out of gas.
Cooking in the house next to it, you can go back to the hotel after eating two steps, there is no food here, but the firewood hoarded by each family pours a lot, smelling the fireworks in the air, the feeling of wandering in the heart is gradually diluted.
My mother walked out of a greenhouse she had chosen, a house facing the street, which was originally a hairdresser, and because there was no furniture in it, she didn't have to bother to move, so she chose this store as a greenhouse.
She carried a basin with four tomatoes, each the size of a rice bowl.
She turned her head to see me and Gu Yu, and hurriedly beckoned to us: "Come on, Xiao Hu has that spring ability, look, this is what he urged." ”
Mom shook the basin in her hand, Hu Tao pushed open the door behind her, her face basically returned to normal, and she used Cangshengding boiling water to drink them in the past few days, it seems that the effect is not generally good.
Hu Tao waved at us with a smile, and his face was full of joy, what spring my mother said, it should be the spring of grass and trees, the name I chose for Qian Xiaohui's ability.
Hu Tao has awakened the second ability, which is a good thing to say anyway, and I can't tell if he has awakened it himself or inherited it from my blood.
"Awesome, Comrade Xiaohu, worthy of being our logistics minister."
