Chapter 12: Crossing the River

Before you know it, three weeks have passed since the beginning of the cataclysm.

Nowadays, almost all towns across the country are occupied by zombies.

In Area A and Area C, at the bus stop point, there is a teenager who closes his eyes and recuperates, and he seems to be waiting for the bus there?

Jun Zilan, who was sleeping comfortably, suddenly felt that something bumped into her.

Rubbing his eyes, he realized that it was a zombie, but the level was only a dozen levels, and it was impossible to cause harm to himself.

Of course, there are far more than one or two zombies, and just on the wide road, there is already a dense patch, and there are countless of them.

Most of them are rotten and stinking, and they have many obvious wounds on their bodies, so they probably suffered a lot of damage before they died.

"Ha......" Jun Zilan yawned boringly.

He left the fortress and went out to hunt alone, but he walked around the city for most of the day and didn't see any high-level zombies.

looked at the large number of zombies gathered around him, and then as if he didn't see it, he hid himself with a shield, and followed along the road together, walking aimlessly.

I don't know how long it took, but a river blocked the way, and the bridge connecting the two areas was destroyed in the middle.

Junzilan could feel that there seemed to be a town ahead.

There is a large amount of life breath gathered inside, and at the same time, there is also a large amount of death qi, and there is a faint Alz.

I saw countless zombies gathered at the bridge, and then poured into the water one after another.

Seeing this scene, Jun Zilan was about to follow and prepare to swim across the river when she found a freighter not far away.

The smooth metal shell makes it impossible for zombies to climb up from the water at all.

The freighter moved slowly towards the opposite bank, and the propeller stirred the river one by one, causing ripples.

"Survivors again? It's really interesting. Jun Zilan stood at the head of the bridge and looked there with interest.

I saw a man who resembled a boatman, holding a long iron rod in his hand, checking the situation on the bow of the boat.

Suddenly, under the water, there was a toad-like zombie, which shot out with its tongue in its mouth, and directly swept a person on the freighter into the water.

There was a girl in the cabin, who immediately felt something strange and shouted: "Alert, alert, there is a monster attacking." ”

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Uncle Kai, who was wearing a yellow life jacket, immediately rushed outside.

The sound of tuk-tuk footsteps on the deck sounded, and many sturdy men were already ready to wait.

With a powerful strange force coming from underwater, the entire freighter was directly swept out, but fortunately, the center of gravity was relatively stable and did not overturn.

Uncle Kai frowned: "Third child, how did you plan the route, didn't you say that it was safe?" What a bad luck! ”

"It can't be helped, there are so many floats in the water, it is inevitable that there will be one or two troubles." The person who was called the third child immediately defended.

At this time, a girl's voice came from the cabin: "Be careful, that thing down there is going to attack again." ”

As she spoke, a slender girl opened the hatch and stumbled to the side of the boat.

"Girl, can you handle it?" Uncle Kai asked.

The girl glanced at him, ignored him, and motioned for the boatmen to continue turning the bow.

The toad zombie would not let the food in his mouth escape, so he stretched out his long tongue and wrapped it around the lifebuoy on the side of the boat.

"A sword sacrifices the cold of Kyushu, and the sword comes." A long sword appeared in Jun Zilan's hand with the summoning of Jun Zilan.

With just a swing of the sword, a fierce sword aura was generated, cutting off the tongue of the toad zombie.

Seeing someone helping, the people on the boat looked up one after another, and just saw Jun Zilan's figure.

"Grab, seal." The girl didn't show weakness at all and immediately activated her abilities.

She spread out her palms, her five fingers were slender and powerful, and she knew at a glance that she didn't look like an ordinary girl.

Above the sky, a giant hand appeared, pulling the zombie toad to where it went.

"Look, that guy is waving at us." The third child looked at the shore and immediately shouted to everyone.

Uncle Kai's face was a little unhappy, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't be nosy, that is the place where the zombie outbreak is most serious, who knows if he is infected!" ”

"Rest assured, those who have awakened their abilities will not be infected by the zombie virus." The girl didn't bother to pay attention to him, and commanded the crew Junzilan to approach.

Uncle Kai snorted coldly, and his gaze towards the shore was still full of vigilance.

Before the cargo ship could get closer, Jun Zilan got up and jumped on it: "It's not safe over there, you better not get close." ”

The girl looked into his eyes and asked without showing weakness, "Not safe?" Do you think I'm weaker than you? ”

"No, I didn't say that." Jun Zilan hurriedly waved her hand, indicating that she didn't mean that.

"I called, go to Jiujiang City for refuge, what about you?" The girl snorted coldly again.

"Jiujiang City! Is it safe over there now? Jun Zilan asked.

"I heard that the army has formed a security line, but I don't know very well." The girl shook her head.

"Then let's go and have a look, let's take care of each other." The third child immediately accosted him, but he was frightened by Uncle Kai's look and shut up obediently.

"With me here, I'm sure you're absolutely safe." Jun Zilan patted her chest and packed the ticket.

"Hehe, bragged." The girl gave him a blank look, then got up and went back to the cabin.

If it weren't for the fact that these two people were very strong, Uncle Kai wouldn't have given him any face.

After all, today's world is in chaos, not to mention just seeing death and not saving it, even if you kill someone, the police won't take care of it.

Uncle Kai and the third child were originally sailors on a cargo ship.

Before the cataclysm came, the two of them, because they lived on the cargo ship, were lucky enough to hide from batch after batch of zombies.

Now the plague of the living dead is rampant, zombies are sweeping across the banks like a tidal wave, and the fuel tanks of cargo ships are about to bottom out.

was also forced to be helpless, so they had to flee towards Jiujiang City.

There were still some fleeing people on the ship, not because Uncle Kai was kind enough to take these people in, but because the girl asked for it.

The girl's name is Xuanyuan Qingqing, and she originally came here to travel, but she encountered a catastrophe.

If it weren't for his own awakening ability, it is estimated that he would have died.

Along the waterway, you can directly enter Jiujiang City, but now there is a sluice gate.

And only the army in the city has the right to open it.

It is precisely because of this strict lockdown that it has temporarily become the last safe zone.

"In Xia Junzilan, thank you girl for saving me." Entering the cabin, Jun Zilan hugged her fists and saluted.

"No thanks." Xuanyuan Qingfeng said lightly.

Seeing that she didn't know how to lift, Jun Zilan still smiled and nodded, and then turned around and went outside to blow the wind.

Before you know it, it's getting late, and as the afterglow of the setting sun sinks into the western mountains, the surrounding rivers become more and more silent.

There was no one on the boat, and the atmosphere was tense, like the heaviness before a storm.

Suddenly, the sound of the propeller stopped, Jun Zilan frowned, glanced at the control room obliquely, and felt a little strange.

At this moment, a slender jade finger reached out and pressed against his lips.

"Don't make a noise, it will attract more than anything else." Xuanyuan Qingqing whispered softly, "It's not safe here at night. ”

Insecurity? Jun Zilan blinked, and no one could see his expression clearly in the dimness.

It's just that the corners of his mouth are slightly hooked, and a strange smile floats, which seems to be mocking and joking.

Is there anything more dangerous than him in this whole area?

It's just that Jun Zilan still sat silently on the deck, letting the freighter move slowly with the dark river.

Occasionally, something underwater seemed to hit the hull of the ship, making a soft "thump" sound.

Due to the learning of insight skills, the darkness has no effect on Junzilan, and now he no longer needs eyes to see.

Suddenly, I felt a little itchy in my palm, and when I looked down, it was Xuanyuan Qingqing who drew a word in his palm with his fingers: sleep.

He frowned, how could he sleep in this situation.

What will be in the water? Is it scarier than zombies? A trace of curiosity arose in Jun Zilan's heart.

So he got up, and walked silently to the bow of the boat and sat down.

A pair of eyes were blue and deep, staring at the bottomless darkness below.

As if in response to his expectation, bubbles suddenly floated in the water.

Seeing this, Jun Zilan's expression was a little disgusted, and her body exuded a fierce sword aura, and she suddenly cut through the water surface silently.

Then I saw the color of blood, silently dyeing a river red, which did not belong to the beauty of the sunset at all.

It's a pity that no one can appreciate this night when you can't see your fingers.

"Woo, woo, woo、、、" cry? Hearing this voice, Jun Zilan was slightly stunned.

Immediately, in the cabin, the mother's voice comforting the child sounded.

Uncle Kai glanced at everyone fiercely, and immediately covered their mouths: "Cry again, I'll throw you out." ”

Unfortunately, it was too late, and the sound had already alarmed those things outside.

An eerie night breeze blew, and the hull of the freighter shook violently from side to side.

Several men slammed into the planks and screamed in pain.

Then a child cried, and a woman exclaimed, Uncle Kai scolded in a low voice, and the voice was noisy for a while.

On the deck, Jun Zilan immediately became vigilant, and he could seem to feel that something very dangerous was slowly approaching.

I'm afraid that there are monsters nearby that are more terrifying than the corpses, and I can't perceive them.

A translucent bony hand slowly climbed onto the freighter, like a demon from hell.

At the moment when the monster showed its head, Jun Zilan had not seen the appearance clearly, but she heard a swish in her ear.

From Xuanyuan Qingqing's hand, a tiny silver light flew out and knocked it down.

"Tsk," Jun Zilan looked at the other party with some complaint, she was almost about to figure out what it would be.

I saw Xuanyuan Qingqing's palms, pinching six silver needles, and entering a posture of being ready to fight at any time.
