Chapter 321: Blood Rain
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was not too late to defeat the 'Sky Eye', so I discussed with Gu Yu and asked Hu Tao to take the others back to the small city first.
I channeled my energy to Hu Tao, and his earth-based ability was quickly promoted to Tier A, so that he could take Long Tao, Gao Yan, and Fang Xu home through the underground passage.
It can avoid the road, and you can also directly enter the interior of the building to ventilate and rest, and the chance of being found is small.
I always felt unsteady in my heart, and before parting, I gave all the energy I was hiding and absorbing to Long Tao, Gao Yan and Xun Bishan, the stronger their ability, the safer the small city.
I also asked Xun Bishan to take the little wolf cub back, the little guy was reluctant, but I couldn't take it, it was safer to follow Hu Tao and them from the underground.
We were separated in Kang County, which borders Sichuan Province, and Hu Tao took the others to go underground, and Gu Yu's plan and I were to move along the coastline.
Even if someone is watching, they don't know our real destination, leaving Tibet, passing through Yun Province, and then entering the territory of Western Province, this road is quite difficult, last time there was a teleportation egg to help, this time we can only walk.
The accident happened on the day we saw the blockade line, which separated the western province from the Guangzhou province, which was also the corpse wall that Xun Bishan said.
The total population of Western Province is only half of that of Quang Province, and it can be seen from the number of zombies on both sides of the blockade line that it is obviously much less on the Western Provincial side than on the Canton Provincial side.
Last year, I listened to survivors in the small town discuss whether zombies will rot and die naturally, and now I look at the corpses still hovering on both sides of the power grid, and I secretly sigh that this world really can't tolerate the slightest naivety.
After turning over the power grid that had already been cut off, Gu Yu and I entered the territory of Guangzhou Province along the road, and when we were resting in the village at night, something unexpected happened to us, it rained blood at night, and it rained heavily for three days.
The bloody rain smelled of rust, and Gu Yu and I hid in a private house to avoid the rain, Gu Yu was worried that the rain was poisonous, and we never left the house for three days.
The rain came like another unavoidable disaster, and after the heavy rain, the weather cleared, but I found that my abilities were suppressed.
I mean, it didn't disappear, it just couldn't be used, and not only me, but zombies, humans, and mutant beasts didn't escape the side effects of this blood rain.
I know because we met a few survivors along the way, some of whom were earth-based anomalies, who had been hiding in the mountains and making a living by digging traps and hunting mutant beasts.
After a rain of blood, their abilities were suppressed, and they could not hide underground, so they had to flee down the mountain to find another way to live.
However, the rain of blood did not go away, it would visit the world every few days, and every time when our abilities were about to recover, there was no such coincidence in the world, it was certainly not the rain produced by nature.
After losing our abilities, we need to fight normal zombies, and zombies are not interested in me, but they haven't eaten a living person for too long, so we live every day like something out of a movie.
I think it's someone doing an experiment, and the humans and zombies in the experimental field are being beaten back to the prototype, back to the original starting line.
Gu Yu's ability was also partially suppressed, but as I had always suspected, his ability was not entirely an ability, or not entirely an ability, so he was still a superpower mixed in the middle of a bunch of ordinary people and zombies.
When we encountered zombies attacking their own kind, his ability saved us several times.
After decades of hard work, once I returned to the pre-liberation period, this is a true portrayal of my present moment.
Every time it rained, I hid inside the building to avoid the suspicious rain of blood, but I found that this trick didn't work at all, as if the rain had some element in it that was inhaled through breathing.
Maybe it was the faint smell of rust that was causing trouble, Gu Yu also thought of this, he found two sets of gas masks, but unfortunately it was useless.
This strange rain is not known to be good or bad for humans, at least while people lose their abilities, zombies and mutant beasts also lose their abilities.
For this reason, Gu Yu and I had a serious discussion, thinking that this was an experiment conducted by a certain force against several large cities occupied by high-level zombies.
The most prosperous cities are occupied by zombies, and good resources can't be taken out, and someone will always find a way to solve this problem.
Gu Yu thought further, and he asked me what the other party would do next after suppressing the abilities of all creatures, assuming that Red Rain was man-made.
"Transporting resources?" I replied.
"And then?" Gu Yu asked.
"And then?"
"When the effect of the suppression ability wears off, the high-level zombies will still be a threat to humanity, right?"
"Yes, if it were me, I would definitely take this opportunity to wipe out the high-level zombies!"
Gu Yu nodded, took out the map and spread it on the table, we are looking for weapons and ammunition in a county police station at the moment.
Gu Yu's ability has to be saved for critical moments, and since he has returned to the era of heat/weapons, it is necessary to find guns and ammunition.
The map was spread out on the dusty desk, and Gu Yu asked me if I remembered the dust bombs used by Shangguan's family, and I said of course I did, but Shangguan Mo said that the number of bombs that were broken by cattle was not much, and it must be used sparingly.
"There's never been a better time to use it." Gu Yu pointed at the provincial capital city of Guangzhou Province with his fingertips, "We have to get around here, the farther away the better." ”
"However, what if the people who are spying on us have nothing to do with the Shangguan family or Xin?"
"Missiles."
"Tsk~ Hearing you say this, I feel that it is not safe anywhere, okay, let's bypass the big coastal cities."
The route was re-agreed, and before we could set off, the blood rain began to fall again, and the eyes were all red, and the houses and streets were painted red.
These things stain the zombies red, and I try not to get them on my skin, and even if I do, I will wipe them off or wash them off immediately.
I know that doing it doesn't stop it from working, but I just can't help it, and sometimes the psychological cues of people are really powerful.
Because of the long-term lack of food, around the city where a large number of zombies gathered, the mutant beasts have been preyed and eaten, and the smarter ones have fled the zombie city.
In such a city, zombies began to kill and eat each other like the zombies I had seen in the factory at the beginning.
My zombie identity is gradually losing its advantage, and as long as I enter such an area, there will inevitably be a bloody battle.
Because there are too many zombies, I can't kill them all, and Gu Yu's ability is very precious, I don't want him to waste it on killing zombies, so I thought of a way and got a tricycle with a shed.
This is a great way to shelter from the rain and get away from the city, but the rain has made the dirt roads in the countryside muddy, and it takes a lot of physical effort to ride it.
Gu Yu is worried that this rain will have an impact on crops, and if blood rain is harmful to plants, it will be the ultimate nightmare for mankind.
"Didn't those people say that the blood rain is only falling in the coastal areas, and they are all retreating to the inland areas." I sat in the back of the tricycle and wiped my gun, and when I heard Gu Yu, who was pedaling hard, express his worries, I hurriedly comforted him.
"Once humans can control the weather, the disaster on the coastal side is just the beginning."
"Didn't you shoot rain bombs into the sky when it rained? There was this technology before the disaster, but there are still many places where the drought is severe, and the weather is controlled? Hmph, the weather forecast is inaccurate. ”
"Don't forget, the development of science and technology after the end of the world is advancing by leaps and bounds."
His words finally made me look up and think about it seriously, and the ability can indeed solve the problems that humans can't overcome before the end of the world, such as spatial ability and mind manipulation.
Gu Yu went on to say that the people who developed the suppression potion must have a fairly advanced level of technology, and even they may be a team composed of cutting-edge scientists, so it should only be a matter of time before they develop an antidote to the zombie virus.
"It's a good thing for humans, why are you bothered about it?"
"Hopefully, I'm thinking it's complicated."
"Well, I'm still a little out of your train of thought, you're suspicious, the person who put the ability to suppress the potion... Even humans want to be wiped out? "I can't think of anything worse than throwing tons of missiles to blow up the continental plate.
"It's not enough to be wiped out, but it's more likely that a large part will be sacrificed and only a small part will be saved." He said in a deep tone, "They can work out an antidote, but they may not give it to ordinary survivors." ”
"Won't it? What did you discover that led to this conclusion? ”
"Premonition."
I was surprised to hear these two words from Gu Yu's mouth, he has always spoken with facts, rarely makes unfounded speculations, and now he actually believes in the sixth sense?!
"OK, I hope your hunch isn't right."
Although the two of us didn't discuss the actual results, my mind has been disturbed by him, and the person who led us to the snow mountain base to send us to death, and the person who parachuted the blood rain, could it be the same group?
The New Human Alliance started with abilities, and suppressing them was never something they did, and other forces that relied on them would naturally not do it.
So there is another force that we never knew about, which has been engaged in scientific research in a low-key manner, striving to be a blockbuster if it is not a blockbuster?
After figuring out the identity of the new enemy for a long time, I had to turn my attention back to the front of me, the zombies in the south became extremely fierce, and they were very difficult to deal with without a high-level zombie leader.
The same is true of some human beings, who have become more terrible than all beasts of prey because of the harsh conditions they live in.
So not only do we have to avoid zombies and mutated animals, but we also have to stay away from the people who have gone crazy in the human race, they don't care about the friendship of our compatriots, Gu Yu and I are just a delicious meal in their eyes.
The north has experienced a zombie march, and the number of people and zombies has decreased sharply at the same time, Long Tao They estimate that they will go more smoothly than us, and there is no harm if there is no comparison, and now it seems that the sparsely populated primeval forest has become a blessed land.
Although it was winter, the winter in Guangzhou Province was particularly warm, and Gu Yu and I worked at night, pedaling a tricycle, riding for 18 hours a day, just wanting to go back to the three northern provinces as soon as possible to find Tumu.
On this day, it was my turn to be on the night shift, I replaced Gu Yu to let him rest, and after riding for less than an hour, I saw the sky in the distance suddenly brighten, and a red ball of light rose in an instant.
Then there was a strong explosion, the earth shook, and the rising clouds were like giant beasts rushing out of the ground, and my legs froze nervously.
Losing his ability, his body was as fragile as duckweed in the wind compared to a missile, Gu Yu jumped out of the car and blocked me behind him, but then he said:
"It's okay, the shockwave can't get here."
