Chapter 204: Stalling for Time

I expected the city to be attacked, but I found that when Gu Yu left, I could only be responsible for directing and protecting the safety of others.

I was the only Class A Adept in the camp, and I had to rush to the front in battle, but I didn't have the slightest anxiety or fear, but there was a killing intent and excitement in my heart waiting to break through the defenses of reason.

I knew that this was the influence of the demon pill starting again, so I restrained myself again and again, resisted the urge to go out and start the slaughter immediately, closed my eyes and stabilized my mind.

The town has an alarm system, which is installed in the house, and when the survivors hear the alarm, they will gather in an empty house in the west of the city, where there is a secret passage leading to the mountains outside the city.

Just in case, I asked them to hide in the dark tunnel first, there is an ability elimination device inside, no matter if the enemy has earth or wood abilities, they can't hurt the people in the dark tunnel.

Watching my parents and Grandpa Han enter the dark passage one after another, I and all the strangers came to the main gate of the small city, the moonlit night was dim, we turned off the flashlight, and waited for Shangguan to come back in the dark.

The food harvested every day in the city is stored in the underground storage room before dinner, and only the crops planted in the field cannot be moved, so that the loss can be minimized in case of emergencies.

A few minutes later, Shangguan Li turned back and said that the other party's level and number of people were about the same as ours, and there were no first-class abilities in the team, and they were coming straight to the small city for the purpose of grabbing food.

Straight to grab food? This shows that the other party is prepared and knows our details.

I asked Shangguan Li how these people knew that we had food, Zhou Li monitored the movement outside the city every day, and it was impossible for someone to spy on him nearby without noticing.

Shangguan Li said that they didn't think about this matter, I'm afraid they have to ask in person to know, Gu Yu is not there, Hu Tao and they are all waiting for me to make a decision, I already have a plan, but looking at the faces of the people around me, and those eyes full of trust, I swallowed back the words that came to my mouth.

changed his words and said: "You first retreat to the secret passage to protect the old and weak, Shangguan Li and Li Huaiqing go out with me, everyone wait for our news, don't act without permission." ”

As soon as Hu Tao wanted to speak, he was stopped by Gao Yan, and Ah Ying was stopped by no one, so he asked, "Can you three handle it?" I'm going too! ”

Hu Tao nodded, indicating that he also had such a question and wanted to go with me, and the others also responded, and I waved my hand to stop them from talking.

"If my ability can't be solved, you will only increase casualties if you go, and your combat power is gone, what about ordinary survivors?" I raised my voice, my eyes sweeping over the faces of the crowd.

Ah Ying closed her mouth, looking a little aggrieved, I softened my tone and pressed her shoulder: "Shangguan Li said, they are equal in strength to us, but we have old and weak children, so we must ensure their safety first, understand?" Obedient, withdraw. ”

My tone was gentle but could not be refuted, Ah Ying bit her lip and replied 'yes', Wang Qi and Cao Baoyang are already in the secret passage, they need someone to take care of them, Ah Ying has always been sensible, she can understand the reason for my decision.

My carelessness has put Nini in danger and can't let anything like this happen again.

Originally, I wanted to use this attack to train the team and see how the abilities of the strangers in the small city were able to cooperate with the battle during this time, but it was precisely because I thought of Grandpa Han and Wang Qi that I temporarily changed my plan.

When I can quickly resolve the battle, I shouldn't risk Ah Ying's personal safety, let alone let my parents lose their last protection.

I didn't do this out of personal heroism, but out of the safest and quickest way to solve problems.

A small city of less than 100 people, the combat power cannot withstand the attrition, at least now is not the time, the fortifications around the city have not been completed.

Seeing Hu Tao and them retreat to the west of the city, I took Shangguan Li and Li Huaiqing to teleport to the front of the convoy attacking from the front, and at the same time used a spiritual attack to sneak attack the other two convoys.

Depending on the level of the ability, the amount of energy it takes to kill the opponent is also different, and the higher the level, the stronger the mental will, but fortunately, there are no first-class abilities among the comers, so I didn't have much effort to deal with them.

The spirit body flame that I 'picked up' last time was hooked up by Zheng Chao, and he absorbed and fused it, and I didn't see the effect for the time being, but we all believe that it must be beneficial, but it's a pity that there is no target for me to experiment with in this group of attackers.

I packed up the convoy on both sides, leaving only the team at the main gate, hoping that Shangguan Li could read more information from these people, they must have their own camp, I want to know where their nest is, and how they know the details of the small city, so I must give them a chance to speak.

A mile from the wooden wall, three jeeps were parked in the middle of the road, their headlights casting two dazzling pillars of light in the darkness, and four people jumped out of the head car and walked towards us against the light.

Walked to about three meters in front of us before stopping, looked at each other, the four people on the opposite side did not immediately move, the head of the beard, with a strip of red cloth tied on his forehead, strangled a messy hair, the beard almost covered the entire face, a pair of tiger eyes burst out of a fierce light, he made a special gesture, arched his hand towards me.

When he came up, he said hello, which was very inconsistent with his image, and I thought he was the kind of reckless man who didn't say a word and started fighting when he came up.

"Everyone, excuse me, our brothers are here for nothing else, now the son is sad, the villagers in the big hometown, just borrow some food for us to save the emergency." He was very polite.

I laughed: "I'm sorry, but the landlord's family doesn't have any surplus food." ”

Shangguan Li sent me a message through Li Huaiqing, saying that this person came to delay time, as for why he delayed time, this person did not know, his superiors arranged it this way, and it was just by the way to grab grain.

I was secretly puzzled, and I didn't answer his words, and asked directly, "How did you find out about our camp?" ”

The single-knife and straightforward way of asking is the most convenient for Shangguan Li to read the real information, but the bearded man did not hesitate, and immediately said: "It was a few brothers who were hunting in the forest, and found that someone was also active in that forest, and it was estimated that there should be a camp nearby, so we sifted through a few places from the map and found them one by one." ”

He answered smoothly and sounded seamless, but this just showed that he had thought of this set of rhetoric in advance, and the truth Shangguan Li told me was that they had met Lin Ruoshi.

The bearded man learned from them that there was a fat sheep here, that there were ordinary people to restrain him, and that the head of the camp was not at home, which was a godsend, and whoever didn't come to pick up the cheap was an idiot.

My anger exploded instantly, and my face became more and more calm as water, but the bearded man was stunned, and he stared at my face with a somewhat suspicious look.

I guess my eyes changed color, and when I thought about it, I smiled calmly and said, "What? Haven't seen a zombie yet? ”

The bearded man's face sank completely this time, and he didn't seem to expect me to admit it calmly, and then he realized something, and his face became even more ugly.

I sneered in my heart, confessing the identity of the zombies, of course, I didn't want them to leave alive, no matter how much humans fight, they are still humans.

If a zombie-run territory suddenly pops up on this land, it will inevitably become a thorn in the side of other human camps, and if you don't do it, you will unite these scattered forces and bring us down first.

The bearded man understood that something was wrong, and I had already unfolded the rebound cover, smiling and waiting for them to make a move, but the bearded man just stood there with an ugly face.

The younger brother beside him glanced at him several times, obviously urging him to give an order, but the bearded man did not say anything, and he turned a blind eye to the younger brother's eyes.

I suddenly understood something, and asked with a smile, "Can't contact anyone else?" ”

The bearded man was secretly contacting the other two convoys in his way, and as soon as I asked, his thick brow immediately furrowed, and I knew I had guessed correctly.

This is a cautious person, and unlike his rugged appearance, he is very steady, without the cooperation of his companions, he will not act rashly, for example, his accomplices have not caught our survivors, there are no hole cards in hand, he will not act rashly.

It can be said that his caution saved the lives of their team, but it was temporary, because they did not move, but I moved.

"Where's your camp? The number, level, and type of Abilities? I slowly asked the final question.

The bearded man hurriedly said: "We are just here to borrow food, if it is inconvenient, we will leave immediately." ”

Shangguan Li shook his head at me slightly, I was a little surprised, he actually didn't read the information we wanted, I looked at the bearded man, and eight more people jumped out of the two cars behind the head car.

The bearded man still did not give the order to attack, I pulled out my pistol from behind my waist, although I hadn't used it for a long time, but I practiced whenever I had time.

People can't always predict what will happen tomorrow, even if Nini is a prophet, her prediction is not based on the sky, and many self-preservation abilities are always not lost.

I showed my weapon, and the other side immediately stared at me with full vigilance, and the man who got out of the car saw me draw a gun and aim it at the bearded head, he was faster, more professional and more trained than me.

In an instant, he pulled out his gun, took aim, and shot it, and the bullet was discharged at a speed that was indiscernible to the naked eye, and it was fired at me.

I could see that the bearded man wanted to stop this person from making a move, as well as Shangguan Li and Li Huaiqing's slightly moving bodies and lips, which should have reminded me to avoid it, all words and movements were not as fast as bullets.

The bullets flying at high speed pierce the rebound shroud, which is why the curly-haired man and the twins used guns to fight the members of the mysterious organization in the first place, the bounce shroud only reflects the ability, not against normal bullets.

But it's a pity, this person may be too nervous, he didn't aim at my head and fired, but just pierced my chest, blood splattered Li Huaiqing and Shangguan Li, I glanced down at the blood hole in my chest.

"I've only been wearing this dress for a day." I whispered and grumbled, looking up and smiling at the bearded man.

The latter took a step backwards, the person who shot had already fallen, and at the same time as he shot, I also released a mental attack, and the bearded man wanted to stop the people around him from fighting back, but it was too late, they saw that their companions had fallen, and they used their own abilities, and the output energy reached the extreme, so they were bounced back by the rebound cover without any suspense.
