Chapter 81: The World's First Stranger (3,000 Words for Follow-up Votes)
Chen Ji's car encountered a situation as soon as it left the villa area.
The mutant big cat came running again at some point, following with a leisurely pace, the pace looked very slow, but the car that couldn't stand Chen Ji was also slow - it was icy and snowy, and the road was slippery.
The big cat looked at Chen Ji's car as he walked, scratching his cheek with his paws from time to time.
Chen Ji rolled down the window and glanced at it, with a strange face: "Is this cat following me, or following the light?" ”
"I think it's following you~"
Zhou Wan looked at him and smiled happily.
"Forget it, leave it alone."
Chen Ji closed the window and concentrated on driving, it was the first time he drove on this kind of road, fortunately, he didn't have to worry about the problem of small collision scratches, as long as he didn't break down.
The car was driving at a speed of less than 20 kilometers per hour, and when a damaged car blocked the road, Chen Ji first used a ball of light to dissolve the big ice slag, and then Mu Xiao's "power ability" pushed the car away.
Fortunately, with the big cat following, most of the mutated creatures that were attracted to it would be chased away, or several mutated creatures would fight among themselves.
A small number of people who couldn't get rid of it were made by Zhou Wan, rolled down the window and threw a fruit knife over.
Within twenty or thirty meters, there were basically no mutated creatures that could dodge this kind of attack, either being injured and fleeing, or being stabbed to death.
Huang Yuwen and the others finally roughly guessed what Zhou Wan's ability was, and they looked at each other for a while, becoming more and more in awe of the ability.
But at the same time, I was also glad that I hugged my thighs.
The car entered the Third Ring Expressway from the fourth ring road of Haishi according to Zhou Wan's suggestion, and the road conditions suddenly improved a lot.
It was not the picture that Zhou Wan sent him before, but witnessed it with his own eyes.
The whole world was dark.
Only when the lights of the car sweep in can you see the scene in the distance.
Dozens of floors of residential and commercial buildings stand in the cold wind, crumbling, with broken windows and ice and snow piling up.
The shops, houses, and factories on both sides of the road have long been deserted and empty.
Everywhere Chen Ji looked, there was not a single tree, I am afraid that even the roots of the trees had been dug out to keep warm, and all kinds of plastics, clothing, wood, paper, etc., were either covered with ice and snow, or burned clean.
This kind of apocalyptic scene of the extinction of all things, cold and dead silence, really makes people despair at a glance.
Zhou Wan and these people in this world are okay, they have experienced the apocalypse step by step, they have seen the madness of the crowd at the beginning of the apocalypse, and they have also seen the scenes of people dying in front of their eyes, so that a large number of corpses are piled up.
Chen Ji was silent for a while.
He thought of Astana.
The Divine Grace Continent may be even more miserable than the apocalyptic world in front of them, and Astana and the others are left with only one city, and the rest of the world has long been occupied by evil gods and polluters.
"Even in the Nine Domains, I have never seen such a scene."
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke.
Chen Ji glanced back at her, and Zhou Wan also turned her head sideways and looked at the empress of the Nine Domains.
Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes kept looking at the world outside the window, and said in a cold voice: "The Nine Domains are very large, and there are also a few cursed dead and silent places, such as the Yellow Spring Realm in the depths of the Ghost Domain, which is also barren. ”
"However, the dead silence is limited to those places, and most of the Nine Regions are still thriving."
"It's not like here, where the living is almost extinct!"
Mu Xiaoxiao clenched her fists, and was aroused by the scene outside: "If my strength recovers, I will definitely rush to the sky, tear open this black curtain, see who it is, what is covering the world, and pull out the black hand behind the scenes and kill it!" ”
Zhou Wan was surprised and moved.
Chen Ji was also a little surprised, it turned out that the irascible empress had a kind heart.
Back then, she slashed the immortal gate, not only because she wanted to rebel against the Upper Three Domains, but also because she wanted to give justice to the creatures of the Lower Six Domains, she launched a war against the Upper Three Domains alone, and finally killed many strong people in the Upper Three Domains, so she was called the Empress of Destiny.
"The withering of a civilization is indeed depressing."
Chen Ji said with emotion: "I hope that the emergence of the Alien can bring changes to the current grim situation. ”
Zhou Wan looked at him, then at her white palm, thoughtfully.
Even Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him a few more times, and seemed to be thinking about something.
The car continued to move along the Third Ring Expressway, and the light emitted could be seen from afar.
"There's someone up ahead."
Mu Xiaoxiao, who was looking out the window, suddenly said.
"Anyone?"
Chen Ji perked up, he endured a few bad guys who robbed at this time, at least a little changed.
Soon, Chen Ji saw clearly who the person in front of him was.
Exactly.
It's rows of big trucks.
The lights can be seen from far, far away, and the trucks wind their way down the road like a dragon of light, and the lights shine in all directions, and there is no more exhilarating sight in the dark apocalypse!
"It's a convoy!!"
Zhou Wan shouted in surprise.
She had lived in the colony not long ago, and it was when the convoy arrived that the dead people of the colony lifted their spirits.
They are responsible for transporting supplies from the national warehouse to various cities, and they are responsible for the most important work of the apocalypse, and they are all symbols of hope.
Therefore, after seeing them, Zhou Wan was full of surprises.
Wang Caicheng and others were also excited, and Huang Yuwen's family was also relieved.
There is no doubt that finding a convoy is tantamount to finding a settlement!
Chen Ji's car and the transport team were in two opposite lanes, and the cars on both sides continued to drive forward.
It's close.
It's closer.
Both sides had already seen each other's lights from afar.
After approaching, several trucks in the front row of the transport team took the initiative to honk, and the three vehicles of Chen Ji's team also responded to the horn.
Both parties confirmed and slowly stopped the car together.
"Who are you?!"
A squad of gunmen jumped out of a truck, shouting at the three vehicles on the other side of the road, seemingly in disbelief that there were people who dared to drive on the road in addition to the transport team and the rescue team.
"My name is Chen Ji, these are my companions, I escaped from the colony attacked by mutant rats before, I luckily survived, and I am about to find another settlement."
Chen Ji used Zhou Wan's identity.
However, no one will investigate the smuggling in the last days, and no one will dare to attack this entire transport team of thousands of people and loaded with ammunition.
"I see, you're lucky enough to find enough supplies to get the car started."
Qiu Chengguo, the captain of the transport team, smiled.
Rescue teams have now rarely been able to get people back to settlements, and many have died of cold and starvation.
They were all pleasantly surprised to meet these three cars.
This proves that there are still many people who are struggling to survive, and rescue teams from all over the country still need to bring them back to settlements in various cities.
"Do you abandon the car and follow us, or do you continue to drive your car and follow us? If you abandon the car, you can drive the car to the emergency lane and bring everything you can with you, and we have a place in the car for you to sit in. ”
Qiu Chengguo said quickly, after confirming the situation, the transport team needs to set off again immediately.
Chen Ji chose to drive and follow, not wanting to sit with others.
However, after Huang Yuwen and the others heard that they could get merit points for handing in fuel, they immediately chose to abandon the car and take the fuel in the fuel tank and all the materials that belonged to them in the commercial vehicle to hand in.
Of those materials, more than half belonged to Chen Ji and the others, which was one of the rewards that Huang Yuwen promised before, and they didn't dare to be greedy for ink.
"I'll go down and help."
Chen Ji opened the car door and walked down, and Mu Xiaoxiao and Zhou Wan also got out of the car.
The "little girl" with the sword was not surprising, at most she was curious about where her exquisite long sword came from.
But.
When Zhou Wan, who was only wearing two or three thin clothes, revealing her beautiful face and long hair, stepped out of the car, Qiu Chengguo and the others on the opposite road were taken aback.
"So you don't have any clothes, come over here and I'll give you a thick coat to put on first!"
A female transport team member shouted at Zhou Wan, and the other person had already turned around to go to the car to get cold clothes, and even the doctors in the team were alarmed and prepared to get out of the car to check for frostbite for these people who had no clothes to wear.
In the apocalypse, no one can believe it, but these warriors who have worked hard to maintain the overall order of society and made great efforts and sacrifices can believe it.
"No, you don't."
Zhou Wan moved her body and smiled at the people in the transport team opposite: "I am an anomaly, I am not afraid of the cold." ”
"Adept?!"
Including Qiu Chengguo, everyone in the transport team looked at her in surprise.
"Yes, the Adept, the Spatial Ability!"
Zhou Wan raised her hand, and a beautiful dagger appeared in her palm out of thin air, slowly floated up, spun around a few times and then stopped abruptly, returning to her palm.
It is completely contrary to the scientific principles that people generally know.
Shocked a group of people.
"You don't know the ability?" Chen Ji asked with some surprise.
"I don't know, I don't know there are any supernatural beings...... You're the first one we've ever seen, we've known, the first Adept! ”
Qiu Cheng's Chinese was excited, he seemed to see something in the dagger that Zhou Wan held in his hand in the light, and suddenly said loudly: "Yes, the first, the only one, you are the only one with extraordinary abilities at the moment!" ”
It's so important!
Zhou Wan, the only anomaly, is more important than the materials of the entire convoy he escorted!
Chen Ji and Zhou Wan glanced at each other.
It's actually the first one with the ability.
"Interesting."
Mu Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes, looked up at the dark sky, and then looked at Chen Ji.
