Chapter 13: The Crystal Nucleus
Li Hongtian looked at Jiang Li with a vigilant expression, he would definitely not put the thin Jiang Li in his eyes before, but since he experienced a crazy escape all the way, he has also seen many unarmed women and children who have become crazy and excited because of being infected.
Even some animals have begun to mutate and attack people, so even though he has now returned to his hometown, he still feels palpitations and fear of the scene he has always seen, which also forces him to be wary of the others around him.
Jiang Li also swept Li Hongtian vigilantly, there was no obvious wound on her exposed skin, but she still did not let go of the vigilance in her heart.
"I have no malice, I'm here to find Granny Zhou'......"
Hearing this, Li Hongtian frowned, showed the axe pinned to his waist, and looked very unappetizing with bloodstains, Li Hongtian interrupted her in an unkind tone, "What are you looking for her?" ”
Seeing this, Jiang Li had already rolled to his mouth to remind, but at this time, he was in no mood to say it again, looking at the middle-aged man's appearance as if he was facing a great enemy, Jiang Li didn't have to bother to guess whether they had already encountered mutated zombies and animals.
At this moment, Granny Zhou, who was healthy and fast, just walked out of the door with a vegetable basket on her shoulder, and saw her son looking at the girl a few steps away with a fierce face, no matter how she looked at it, it looked like her son was bullying other girls.
Granny Zhou frowned, and said as she approached with a vegetable basket, "Li Hongtian, what are you doing?" ”
"Mom......"
Li Hongtian looked back and hurriedly protected Granny Zhou from coming forward, and was about to open his mouth to let Granny Zhou go back to the house, when he saw Granny Zhou's originally frowning brows suddenly unfolded, and there was a smile of surprise on her kind and kind face.
"Isn't this little ginger? Oops! What did you come back from, boy? Granny Zhou stuffed the vegetable basket into Li Hongtian's arms, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Jiang Li.
The rough but warm big hand patted the back of Jiang Li's hand, and Granny Zhou's face was full of a genuine smile, "Little Jiang, why don't you say a word to your mother-in-law when you come back?" I heard my family Hongtian say that it's chaotic outside now, you have to pay attention to safety when you are a little girl! ”
Granny Zhou's words of concern made Jiang Li's heart warm, grandma had a very good relationship with Granny Zhou in the same township before her death, although one lived on the left bank and the other lived on the right bank, but the two old sisters have always been very affectionate, and they even took special care of Jiang Li.
Jiang Li softened his eyebrows, "I also just came back from school, and there was an accident in the town, I originally wanted to come and tell you." ”
Granny Zhou smiled and held her hand, "You kid has a heart, don't worry about us, my Hongtian family is also back, there are many people in the family!" No matter how chaotic it is outside, can it still come to our small village? ”
"It's not safe for a girl of yours to run outside......" Granny Zhou's words were not finished, and the next second was interrupted by a male voice.
"Hey, hey, hey, Aunt Zhou, if you're worried, it's better to let my little sister live in my house, and my third brother can also be a companion for little sister Jiang!"
Hearing this, Granny Zhou's face changed suddenly, she stepped forward to block Jiang Li behind her, and snorted fiercely at Qian Laosan, who was speaking, "I'm sorry!" Qian Laosan, you haven't sobered up yet? You dare to say anything bastard! And don't look in the mirror to see what virtues you have! ”
Jiang Li stood behind Granny Zhou and looked at Qian Laosan, who appeared on the side at some point, Qian Laosan's family is a well-known scoundrel and lazy person in Nanshuiwan, and the family of five has nothing to do all day long, except for playing cards and gambling money.
Qian Laosan is an old bachelor who is nearly forty years old, not only looks obscene and scary, but also broke a leg because he gambled when he was young.
At this time, Qian Laosan was unceremoniously scolded by Granny Zhou, and there was no anger on his face, and he was still gags with a hippie smile, and his greasy eyes fell on Jiang Li's body from time to time, as if he was targeted by a disgusting and sticky poisonous snake, which caused Jiang Li to frown uncomfortably.
"Hey! Aunt Zhou didn't say that, they are all from Nanshuiwan, I have to take care of my third sister, what's wrong with Sister Jiang? ”
Jiang Li didn't want to pay attention to Qian Laosan, but she didn't want this person to be shameless and wanted to come up, but fortunately, Li Hongtian on the side pushed Qian Laosan away.
Li Hongtian naturally didn't look down on Qian Laosan, his burly body blocked forward, and scolded in a rough voice, "Qian Laosan's mouth should be cleaned up for Lao Tzu, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for breaking your other leg!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a brown mud ball, which flew out from behind with a snort, hitting Qian Laosan's stinky mouth full of yellow teeth.
"Ahem...... cough" The muddy dumplings with a strong earthy smell were so caught off guard that Qian Laosan coughed so hard that Li Hongtian and Granny Zhou turned their heads and looked at Jiang Li behind them.
I saw Jiang Li patting his muddy hands slowly, looking coldly at Qian Laosan, who was squatting on the side and retching, and the corners of his mouth lifted, "Take care of your size!" ”
Jiang Li saw a lot of people who ran trains with their mouths full of mouths, and according to her years of experience, she either didn't pay attention to this kind of person in the face of it, or completely tore his mouth apart!
Jiang Li coldly retracted her gaze, and walked out straight after saying goodbye to Granny Zhou, Li Hongtian looked at her back as she left, touched her head and muttered in a low voice, "Looking at Si Swenwen, his temper is quite big." ”
Granny Zhou, who was beside her, glanced at her son when she heard this, and pouted, "What's wrong with a big temper?" Should a little girl be bullied? If Su Fang was still there, he would have to rush up and draw money from the face of the third child when he heard this! ”
After speaking, he looked at Qian Laosan, who was spitting mud out, and couldn't help but sneer, "Phew!" Deserve! After snatching the basket from Li Hongtian's arms, he turned around and walked towards the vegetable field, and Li Hongtian hurriedly followed.
Song Qun squatted under the shade of the tree and waited for Jiang Li to come back, and when he saw Jiang Li, who had not been in long ago, walked out, he stood up and greeted him, looked behind him and asked, "It's over so soon?" ”
Then his eyes fell on Jiang Li's hand again, and he looked strange for a while, "...... your hand?" Not only did they not believe it, but they also fought with you, right? ”
As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Li carefully, but he didn't see the embarrassment after the fight, and there seemed to be a little regret in his eyes that was not easy to be noticed.
"Gone!" Jiang Li glanced at him a little speechlessly, bypassed Song Qun, who had a strange face, and got into the car.
Song Qun looked at the car and concentrated on driving, and finally couldn't help but ask, "What the hell is going on?" ”
"There are a lot of cars parked in the village, and it is estimated that they have fled back from other cities, and they probably told their families what they could say, and I came out." Jiang Li replied casually while driving.
Hearing this, Song Qun's face suddenly changed, "In that case, wouldn't it be that mutated zombies have also appeared in other places?" ”
Jiang Li glanced at Song Qun on the side, "It's possible, otherwise, these people wouldn't have driven all the way back." ”
For a while, the two people in the car did not speak again, but cooperated on the road to solve the two zombies that came out of nowhere, and when Jiang Li pulled out the military shovel from the zombie's head, he saw a blur of flesh and blood, and a bright green light flashed.
"Ding! Is the first-level crystal nucleus of the zombie found collected? ”
The sound of the system sounded without warning made Jiang Li, who just wanted to leave, stop, and Song Qun on the side looked around vigilantly, seeing Jiang Li squatting down, and then reaching out to poke at the head of the bloody zombie, this action was so disgusting that Song Qun's face turned white.
"Hey! Why don't you leave? Song Qun didn't dare to speak loudly, so he could only shout in a low voice.
Jiang Li didn't answer, endured the nausea of the impact, reached out and picked up the coin-sized green crystal nucleus, and before she could see it clearly, the green crystal nucleus disappeared from sight in the next second.
Immediately afterwards, the system sound sounded again: "Ding!" Successfully collected the first-level crystal nucleus, which has been automatically stored in the backpack, and the host can view it at any time! ”
"Ding! The collection reward has arrived, please pay attention to the host! ”
Song Qun stepped forward with a white face, "Hey! What are you doing? What are you doing touching the head of a zombie? Isn't it disgusting? ”
Jiang Li subconsciously held the empty palm, and replied with a normal face, "It's nothing, I just want to see if the zombies still have brains." ”
After saying that, he walked straight away, Song Qun glanced at the bloody zombie head, quickly covered his mouth and nose to suppress the urge to vomit, and quickly got into the car with a white face, and no longer looked at the two zombie corpses.
