Extra 18
So, they went to the roof of the apartment with their rifles. It has a great view and you can clearly see your surroundings. They cautiously poked their heads out and watched the movement around them. After confirming that no zombies were approaching, they began to try to shoot.
The sound of rifle gunfire echoed through the empty streets, and the two nervously waited for the results. Luckily, the rifle performed well, albeit a little old, but it was fairly stable to shoot. This gave them a boost of confidence and hope for the future of survival.
After returning to the room, the two began to discuss their next plans. They decided to settle down here first, and then slowly gather supplies and find more weapons. At the same time, they must also be vigilant at all times to prevent zombie attacks.
As night fell, Jiang Sheng and the woman lit a fire in the room, and the firelight flickered, bringing a touch of warmth to this dark world. The two sat around the fire, enjoying simple but hard-won food and water.
"We have to make a long-term plan." Jiang Sheng broke the silence when he spoke, his eyes were extremely firm in the firelight, "We can't always hide in Tibet like this, we need to find a more stable way to survive." ”
The woman nodded in agreement, "You're right. We need to find a steady source of food and water, as well as gather more weapons and equipment to improve our survivability. ”
"And we can't stay here forever." Jiang Sheng added, "The number of zombies is increasing, and sooner or later this city will be occupied by them. We need to find a safer place, preferably one far from the city, where there are fewer people and fewer zombies. ”
However, Jiang Sheng's kindness was not rewarded.
"You mean, you can feel the power of fire in this hedron?" Jiang Sheng asked curiously.
He had never believed that human nature could change suddenly.
"Starting tomorrow, we'll have to start building the Vault." Jiang Sheng broke the silence, his eyes flashing with determination, "Although it is relatively safe here, we can't take it lightly. ”
But such happy times did not last long.
Faced with the other party's coercion, Jiang Sheng almost laughed angrily.
With a large bag of spars, Jiang Sheng left here.
For the same injury, it takes more than ten days for a woman to recover, but it only takes him less than a day.
The two discussed for a while and decided to set off for the mountain the next day. They know it's going to be a difficult and dangerous journey, but they're ready and determined to find their own place to live.
Jiang Sheng and the woman sat on the ground panting, supporting each other. They were all covered in blood and dirt, but luckily, they were all alive.
"It's a mutant beast!" Jiang Sheng said in a low voice, his face becoming solemn, "We must be careful. ”
Just like the mantis monster they encountered in the residential building before.
Through the radio, Jiang Sheng and the woman learned more about the survivors.
100 days after the outbreak of the apocalypse.
The woman nodded, her eyes flashing with excitement: "Yes, when I hold this hedrome, I can feel a warm power, like a flame. Also, I seem to be able to feel a fire-related ability, as if I was able to control the flames. ”
Jiang Sheng nodded, he knew that it would take time and practice to slowly explore. However, he is also happy for women because she has gained a new ability that will undoubtedly enhance their ability to survive.
The woman pondered for a moment and said, "I know a place that might suit us. It's an abandoned mountainous area, with few people and zombies, and there are streams in the mountains that can solve our water problems. ”
But.
They knew that their strength was very different from Jiang Sheng's, and the slightest resistance could lead to death. In this apocalyptic world, strength is the confidence to speak, and Jiang Sheng undoubtedly has the strength that they can't match.
"I can hand over some of the hedrons, but not all of them." Jiang Sheng said calmly, "We need to work out a distribution plan together to ensure that everyone can get enough spars to survive." ”
This encounter made the two more deeply aware of the dangers of the apocalyptic world. They know that if they want to survive in this world, they must constantly improve their strength and abilities. So, in the days that followed, they began to train and study harder, hoping to be better able to deal with the dangers that might arise.
However, regardless of the reason, Jiang Sheng decided to cherish this special ability and make the most of it to improve their survivability. He began to work harder on his body, hoping to master this ability better and get the most out of it when it mattered.
And under the infection of the X virus, many beasts have mutated.
In the days that followed, the woman began to try to master and wield this new flame ability. She discovers that she can control the form and strength of the flames through her mind, and can even attack and defend with the flames. This made her more comfortable in battle, and it also made it easier for her and Jiang Sheng to survive.
Jiang Sheng heard the woman's words and showed a surprised expression. He put down the training equipment in his hand, walked over to the woman, and looked at the crystal stone taken from the body of the mutant beast in her palm, which was crystal clear and emitted a faint red light.
Jiang Sheng's discovery surprised him very much, and at the same time, it also brought greater security to their survival. He realized that this ability to shield the beast's perception might be a special talent in his body, or a new ability that was created by combining with hedron energy.
Hand over all the hedrons.
In the face of Jiang Sheng's strength, those survivors had no room for resistance, and could only obediently obey Jiang Sheng's orders.
"We finally have a real home." Jiang Sheng said with emotion.
The woman looked at Jiang Sheng in surprise and said.
When night fell, the two of them lay on the simple bed, but they couldn't sleep for a long time. They are all thinking about what to do in the future and how to survive in this apocalyptic world.
Jiang Sheng also began to rush towards those people at the moment of the gunshot.
The two silently waited for the beast to leave, but the beast seemed to sense their aura and began to slowly approach them. Jiang Sheng and the woman glanced at each other and decided to take the initiative. They surged out of the bushes and toward the beasts.
They quickly packed their bags and brought the necessary supplies and weapons. They also double-checked the room before leaving, making sure nothing was left behind. After all, in this post-apocalyptic world, any negligence can be fatal.
Otherwise, let him see it again, and he will be killed!
But he understands now.
Seeing this, Jiang Sheng hurriedly rushed forward and started a fight with the beast. He wrestled with his rifle and the beast, all while looking for the right opportunity to deliver a fatal blow. After a fierce battle, Jiang Sheng finally found his chance, he aimed at the beast's throat and pulled the trigger.
There were more than a dozen of them, and they were fighting the mutant beasts in the mountains.
The woman shook her head, "Not yet, but I'll keep trying and exploring." ”
The woman, who had always been hiding in the shadows, learned about the life of the leader of those on the other side with one shot.
Of course, this is only temporary.
But compared with women, Jiang Sheng never felt anything.
Hearing the woman's words, Jiang Sheng said after thinking carefully: "I agree with you, but the nearest survivor camp here is less than thirty kilometers, and I think we should still get in touch." Of course, it's not for us to be a part of it, it's just to reach out and learn more about it. ”
Thinking of this, Jiang Sheng raised his right hand slightly, and then snapped his fingers in midair.
Jiang Sheng ignored his provocation and continued, "We can distribute the hedron according to each person's contribution and needs. For example, those who perform well in this battle can be rewarded with more hedrons; And those who need hedrons to heal injuries or improve their strength should also get a corresponding share. ”
The woman nodded, nervously clenching the dagger in her hand. She knew that the power of this mutant beast was far from comparable to that of ordinary beasts, and once it attacked, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Over the next few days, they began their busy construction work. Using the surrounding trees and stones, they made planks and stones, and then began to build the framework of the shelter as planned. Although they encountered many difficulties in the process, they overcame them one by one with tenacity and wisdom.
And Jiang Sheng was not idle, he began to study how to use the power in the hedron. He found that different hedrons contained different powers, some could enhance physical strength, some could improve perception, and some could enhance mental strength. He began to try to apply the power of these hedrons to his training, hoping to further improve his strength.
The woman thought for a moment and replied, "I feel as if I have become stronger, like I have a new ability. However, I still need time to get used to and master this power. ”
And through the information broadcast on the radio, they knew that many survivors had now gathered together and set up survivor camps.
After Jiang Sheng quickly killed the four most powerful people, he looked at the remaining ones who had given up resisting.
The two cautiously returned to the shelter and began to treat their wounds. Although the wound on the woman's shoulder was deep, fortunately it did not hurt the artery, and after a simple bandage, the blood flow gradually stopped.
After several hours of arduous trekking, they finally reached the entrance to the mountains. The terrain is steep and the trails are rugged, but it's the terrain that makes them feel at ease. Because of such a place, it is difficult for zombies to gather on a large scale.
The woman nodded, her eyes flashing with happiness: "Yes, this is the result of our joint efforts. ”
They made their way up the mountain road, enjoying the magnificent scenery of nature along the way. Although everything around them seemed so desolate, in this mountainous area, they felt a rare sense of tranquility and serenity.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, and then said, "I collected these hedrons at the risk of my life, and I didn't give them without effort. And I don't intend to monopolize them, I just want to make sure we all survive and be safe. ”
Rather, it preserves the ability to think for itself.
As for the changes in his body, Jiang Sheng also had a guess.
Facing Jiang Sheng's inquiry, the woman just thought silently for a moment, and then said directly: "I won't go, I think even if I go there, it won't improve us much, and it's not even as good as us here." So, I want to stay here. ”
But without exception, he recovers countless times faster than a woman every time.
Over time, the shelter took shape. They also dug a deep trench around the shelter as a first line of defense. At the same time, they also made some improvised weapons and traps in case they needed them.
Just like a woman can control fire, maybe it's her natural talent, or maybe it's luck.
And when it comes to luck, his luck has never been good.
"We need to get back to the wounds." Jiang Sheng said, he helped the woman to stand up, "It's not safe here, there may be more mutant beasts appearing." ”
Jiang Sheng's words made the atmosphere at the scene instantly tense. Those survivors obviously didn't expect Jiang Sheng to respond to their request so directly, and their faces showed expressions of surprise and dissatisfaction.
He knew that he couldn't hand over the hedron easily, otherwise he would not only lose his security, but also cause even more trouble.
This time, the beast finally fell. It lay motionless on the ground, its red eyes losing their brilliance.
Jiang Sheng's brows furrowed, he knew that these people would not easily give up their desire for spars. He looked around and saw that the other survivors were also staring greedily at the hedron in his hand.
Jiang Sheng met with other survivors except the woman.
It's like playing an online game, where the neutral monster doesn't attack itself.
That is, after he was injured and fell unconscious, it is likely that he was bitten by a zombie.
It's just that for some reason, I didn't become a new zombie like everyone else.
Although there are not many zombies in the mountains, there are many wild beasts.
After reuniting with the woman and returning to the sanctuary they had established, they began a new day of assimilation again.
The two began to discuss plans to build a shelter. They decided to start by looking for the right building materials and then design a structure that was both sturdy and functional. Although the task is daunting, they are confident that they can accomplish it.
Just when they were in danger, Jiang Sheng appeared to help them through the crisis.
He was both glad and confused by the change. Thankfully, he didn't turn into a zombie, otherwise he and the woman wouldn't have been able to survive in this apocalyptic world. Confused, he didn't know why he had such a change or if it would have had other effects on his body.
Jiang Sheng was not without harvest during this time.
These monsters are even more terrifying than zombies.
Every time they absorb the hedrons, it is the happiest time of the day.
The early morning sun shines through the window and sprinkles on Jiang Sheng and the woman's faces, waking them up. The two opened their eyes and smiled at each other, their hearts full of anticipation for the future.
The two began to set up temporary shelters. They built a simple tent out of trees and foliage, and a simple fence with stones and branches to prevent wild beasts.
"Of course we know you saved us, but that doesn't mean you can have all the hedrons to yourself!" A burly man stood up and said, his eyes revealing greed and hostility.
Now he is facing the countless zombies in the city, even if he does not have the ability to shield his perception, he can calmly retreat.
Right at the foot of the hill where they had refuge.
And although these people in front of them are different from zombies, the difference is not too big.
Because they can clearly feel the continuous growth of their own strength, this feeling of being elevated from the depths of their genes, makes them ecstatic.
But what Jiang Sheng didn't expect was that after the crisis passed, these people did not express their gratitude to themselves, but focused all their attention on themselves for the first time.
The two of them immediately became alert, clenched the weapons in their hands, and cautiously approached the source of the sound. They hid behind a dense thicket of trees, observing the situation ahead through the gaps. I saw a huge beast standing at the intersection, its eyes red and its body exuding a terrifying aura.
In the end, although Jiang Sheng did not start to end the lives of these people, he still scraped all the spars on their bodies.
On the eightieth day after the zombie outbreak.
Jiang Sheng fell into deep thought after hearing this. He knew that in this apocalyptic world, many things had gone beyond common sense. The appearance of zombies and mutant beasts, as well as the special powers contained in the hedrons, are unprecedented and bizarre phenomena. And now, the fact that a woman can feel the power of fire from the spar is undoubtedly a major discovery.
In the process of construction, the tacit understanding between the two is getting deeper and deeper. They support each other, face difficulties together, and become each other's most solid support.
In the days that followed, Jiang Sheng began to try to understand and master this ability more deeply. He found that when he used this ability, he seemed to enter a special state, as if he had reached an invisible pact with the zombies and mutant beasts around him, and they would not actively attack him.
Not everyone can comprehend it.
Jiang Sheng's eyes lit up: "That's really a good place!" We'll leave tomorrow and go there. ”
In the apocalyptic world, strength is the most important thing, and Jiang Sheng obviously has a strength that they can't match.
He also made great discoveries about the peculiarities of his body.
He found that his body's ability to recover seemed to be very strong.
Jiang Sheng's guess gave him a deeper understanding of the changes in his body. He began to think back to the moment when he was injured by a zombie and fell unconscious, trying to find a possible cause. He guessed that perhaps for some special reason, he did not become a zombie after being bitten by a zombie, but retained his ability to think.
"Jiang Sheng. I seem to be able to feel the power of fire! ”
Early one morning, Jiang Sheng and the woman went out to search for food as usual. They walked along the familiar mountain path, vigilantly observing their surroundings. However, just as they were about to reach a wild fruit forest, a low roar suddenly came.
"Spar is our common resource, you take so much alone, it's too selfish!" Another survivor chimed in, his tone filled with resentment and jealousy.
"Distribution? Who do you think you are? Why is it up to you to make it? The burly man said dissatisfiedly.
At the same time, he also began to pay more attention to his physical changes. Every day, he carefully observes his physical state and records any possible abnormalities. In this way, he hopes to be able to better understand his body and prevent possible problems.
His words sent chills through everyone present. They begin to realize that this man is not something they can easily provoke.
The beast let out an earth-shattering roar and lunged at them. Jiang Sheng raised his rifle, aimed at the beast's head and pulled the trigger. A gunshot rang out, and the beast was hit in the head, but instead of falling, it rushed towards them even more furiously.
At this moment, Jiang Sheng understood that perhaps if he wanted to master that special ability, he still needed a certain talent.
Since the other party wants to snatch his own spare, he must accept the preparation of being snatched by others!
After getting all the spars, Jiang Sheng directly ordered them not to approach this mountain from today onwards.
If the spar in the corpse is just an ordinary energy body, then the spar in the body of the mutant beast has some more special effects.
"Survival and safety? Do you think you're the only one who cares? The burly man sneered, "We all gathered here to survive, so why should you take most of the hedron alone?" ”
The woman nodded in agreement, "You're right. We needed a sturdy shelter that would not only defend against the attacks of wild beasts, but also provide a safe place to take refuge in the event of zombies. ”
The discovery of this ability made Jiang Sheng feel like a fish in water in the apocalyptic world, and his survivability was greatly improved.
Although the chance of zombies appearing in the wild mountains will be a little smaller, it is not absolutely impossible.
"What effect do you think this power has on you?" Jiang Sheng asked.
In order to prevent injuries in some particular situation, they also plan to build a strong shelter in the coming days.
Seeing this, the woman quickly circled to the side of the beast, ready to deal a fatal blow to it. However, the beast reacted extremely quickly and slapped a claw at the woman. The woman narrowly avoided it, but a deep wound was cut on her shoulder.
"How to distribute it, we will decide for ourselves, what you have to do now is to hand over all the spars in your hands, or we will blow your head with the gun in our hands, and then get these spars from your hands ourselves!"
Night fell again, Jiang Sheng and the woman were busy all day, and they were finally able to sit down and rest for a while. The two of them leaned against the simple fence, looking up at the starry sky, and an inexplicable tranquility swelled in their hearts.
Finally, on a sunny morning, they finished building the shelter. The sanctuary is rudimentary, but strong enough to withstand the attacks of zombies and beasts. They stood in front of the door of the shelter, looking at each other and smiling, their eyes full of satisfaction and pride.
As the night deepened, the two gradually fell asleep.
Moreover, he also discovered an ability that women don't know about, and that is to shield the perception of beasts!
He can walk through zombies and mutant beasts at will without being detected by them, of course, not completely imperceptible, but will not actively attack.
Jiang Sheng's words were quickly approved by the woman.
Jiang Sheng said with a frown.
Because no one knows what they are capable of.
In addition to the body's abilities, it has been strengthened while constantly absorbing hedrons.
But.
After a day's trek, they finally found a suitable place. There is a clear stream next to a dense forest that is enough to provide the food and water they need. Moreover, the terrain here is high and the field of vision is wide, so you can find the traces of zombies in time.
Walking out of the apartment building, they carefully avoided the zombies on the street. Along the way, they saw more dilapidated scenes, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in their hearts. But they knew that now was not the time to be sentimental, and that they needed to get to that mountainous area as soon as possible and find a new place to live.
Jiang Sheng looked at these people coldly, and couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment in his heart. He originally thought that in this apocalyptic world, people would be more united and help each other, but he didn't expect these people to be so greedy and selfish.
"I don't want to kill, but I'm not afraid to kill either." Jiang Sheng said coldly, "If you want to live, you'd better be honest." Otherwise, I don't mind turning you into zombie rations. ”
Wind, fire, thunder and lightning
He had tried all kinds of spars during this time, but apart from being able to absorb the energy inside, he didn't feel any special abilities at all.
"Do you know that I just saved your life?"
Jiang Sheng began to use this ability more boldly to explore. He walks alone through the realm of zombies and mutant beasts, gathering resources and searching for other survivors who may exist. He found himself easily evading the pursuit of zombies and mutant beasts, and was even able to spend the night safely in their territory.
If it was strengthened by countless spars, Jiang Sheng's body would no longer be what he used to be.
"Do you feel any other special abilities?" Jiang Sheng continued to ask.
"What do you think?" Jiang Sheng looked at the woman beside him and asked.
Previously, after fighting the mutant beast, he often suffered some injuries.
Although the mutant beasts are more ferocious than the zombies, the harvest is also very good.
Human nature is like this, the difference is only whether there is a bondage or not.
And with the snapping of his fingers, in an instant, a crisp sniper rifle sounded.
"Okay, just do as you say! There are many people in the survivors' camp, and they may not know a lot of information. ”
Jiang Sheng nodded, and the two of them made up their minds, planning to go and have a look the next day.
