This zombie looks different
Chapter 36 Zhong Qiuchen is becoming less and less like a person...
001.
In the car, in the silence, Chen Xiaochen and the one-armed zombie beside him exchanged glances.
No matter what Guangyi they encountered, that thing would definitely not be the corpse king, but what would it be if it wasn't the corpse king?
Both were lost in thought.
In the car, no one spoke anymore, only Xue Erwei's face changed from blue to white. He wanted to speak several times, but finally swallowed it back.
They set off at five o'clock in the morning and headed along the highway.
After eight o'clock, the rain that had been raining all night stopped completely, the sun came out, and the sky washed and washed by the heavy rain was as blue as the sea and cloudless.
When the car drove near a lake at around ten o'clock, the car stopped, Xue Weiwei and Hai Yin changed shifts, and at the same time, everyone came out to get some air.
The lake water is clear, reflecting the blue sky, and the sky and water are the same color from a distance.
The sun at ten o'clock in midsummer is already very venomous, and the skin feels aching when it shines on the skin. The water vapor left in the air from the heavy rain last night has not completely dissipated, and the combination of the two forms a strange sense of freshness after the rain.
The lake is far away from the town, and there are no zombies nearby. Everyone is completely relaxed, and even in a broad sense, they feel a little more comfortable.
Mo Ansen didn't urge him immediately, he found a place to sit down and rest, quietly watching Zhong Qiuchen who was playing by the water like a child.
Zhong Qiuchen walked around the lake in the shallow water with bare feet. He hadn't seen the scenery outside the city for a long time, which made him feel strange and excited.
In midsummer, the feeling of cold lake water passing through the insteps and insteps is very comfortable, and what makes people feel more comfortable is the fine sand under the soles of the feet, which makes the soles of the feet itchy and soft when stepping on them.
Zhong Qiuchen lowered his head and looked at his feet while walking.
Behind him, two figures, one big and one small, followed each other step by step, stepping on his footprints with every step.
Zhong Qiuchen noticed it and looked back.
Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen immediately turned their heads in tacit understanding and looked into the distance.
Zhong Qiuchen frowned, striding forward, trying to stay away from the two of them.
When Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen turned their heads, they saw that Zhong Qiuchen was far away from them, and was still glaring at them ferociously. It seemed that if anyone dared to go over, he would immediately scratch their faces, and both of them couldn't help feeling wronged.
Can't follow Zhong Qiuchen, one big and one small look at each other, the two look at each other and hate each other, separate and ignore each other.
After getting rid of Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen, Zhong Qiuchen walked around the lake for a while. After playing enough, he took his shoes and walked to Mo Ansen and sat down.
Without words, the two quietly looked at the lake ahead.
At eleven o'clock, everyone had an early lunch on the grass by the lake, and at twelve o'clock, everyone set off again.
They didn't let generalized people take over the car.
In the afternoon, Xue Weiwei and Wu You took turns driving. After Xue Weiwei and Wu You finished their shifts, Hai Yin took over in the evening and drove forward for more than two hours.
The car didn't stop until after seven o'clock at night, when the moon came out.
There were a lot of them, so they didn't choose to park near the village, but chose a flat land next to the mountain.
It was supposed to be a dry farmland, but six years had filled the field with weeds, and it was almost the same as a meadow.
At night, people lit a fire.
Zombies have phototaxis, and under normal circumstances they will never create light in the dark, and only in the wild far away from cities and villages do they dare to take risks.
In front of the fire, under the light of the fire, a group of people seemed to have lost their previous barriers, talking and laughing.
Zhong Qiuchen listened quietly, while also paying attention to Mo Ansen beside him.
He found that the more people there were, the quieter Mo Ansen was. Everyone seemed to be consciously avoiding Mo Ansen, not even mentioning him.Even if it is mentioned accidentally, it will be avoided.
The same is true of Mo Ansen himself.
When it was just him, Xue Weiwei and the others, Mo Ansen would still speak occasionally, but after there were so many people, he almost never took the initiative to speak again.
"What's on my face?" Mo Ansen turned his head.
Zhong Qiuchen was stunned for a moment, the outline of Mo Ansen's face under the firelight became deeper and deeper, but the color of his pupils became lighter, from black to a light transparent amber.
"No." Zhong Qiuchen looked away.
Mo Ansen glanced at Zhong Qiuchen, then turned around and continued to stare at the fire in front of him.
After a while, Mo Ansen turned his head again, and asked again, "After the Paradise falls, do you want to form a permanent team with me?"
Zhong Qiuchen looked over, "Team formation?"
"In the park, after joining the exploration team, you have to go out regularly to search for supplies. Most people will choose a fixed team, so that after going out, they can cooperate better and take care of each other in case of accidents." Mo Ansen explained.
In the last days, it can be said that there are lawless places everywhere. Without restraint, the trust between people becomes weak. It is common for each other to stumbling each other for the sake of benefit. Under dangerous circumstances, it is common to frame each other and push each other out to block the gun. Fixed team formation can minimize these situations from happening.
After figuring out what was going on, Zhong Qiuchen was slightly surprised, but not so surprised.
Hearing Mo Ansen's words and Mo Ansen's invitation, the other people beside the fire who were talking and laughing couldn't help but stop, turning their heads to look at Mo Ansen and Zhong Qiuchen.
There was surprise in everyone's eyes, and they had to be surprised that Mo Ansen had never had a fixed team for so many years.
It's not that no one invited Mo Ansen. There were countless people in Paradise who tried to invite him, and many of them were willing to pay a high price. After all, the presence of Mo Ansen represented the survival rate.
But Mo Ansen never paid attention to it, and only joined the team when needed, so that for six years he was never alone.
After a long time, they have become accustomed to Mo Ansen's solitude. They never thought that Mo Ansen would join the team one day, or they would propose it themselves.
Xue Weiwei, Hai Yin, and Wu You recovered quickly after being slightly startled. They were more or less used to it. Mo Ansen treated Zhong Qiuchen differently, but the group of people beside Guangyi became even more astonished when they recovered.
It's not uncommon for the exploration team to find people outside, but it's different if they find living people in the place of origin. Besides, Zhong Qiuchen's thin figure and face are even more strangely beautiful, even though he doesn't talk much all the way. No one can ignore his existence.
They had already noticed Zhong Qiuchen, but Zhong Qiuchen didn't talk much, so they could only be curious from afar.
"I'll be with you from now on?" Zhong Qiuchen looked over.
"Yeah." Mo Ansen nodded.
"Is there anyone else on the team?"
"No."
Zhong Qiuchen thought about it seriously, "Okay."
Among all the living people he has come into contact with now, Mo Ansen is the one he hates the least, because Mo Ansen is the first living person he has met in five years, and because of Mo Ansen's character itself, he doesn't hate him.
No matter what others think of Mo Ansen, in his opinion, Mo Ansen is not an annoying person, or even a pleasing and trustworthy person.
If he had to act in a team, he would never choose Guangyi and the vest man. He would rather stay with Mo Ansen.
"Hmm." Mo Ansen's mouth curled up, as if he was smiling.
On the opposite side of the fire, Xue Erwei moved his lips and leaned forward, wanting to say something, his gaze swept across Mo Ansen's expressionless face before swallowing it back.
Xue Weiwei didn't dare to speak, Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen looked at each other and hurriedly said, "We will join too!"
Zhong Qiuchen and Mo Ansen looked at each other, and met two expectant faces, Zhong Qiuchen had black lines, Mo Ansen pursed his lips and remained silent.
"No." Mo Ansen refused.
Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen immediately wanted to say something more, but Xue Weiwei was so stimulated that he yelled, "I want to join too!"
"What you say doesn't count!" Chen Xia is not afraid of Mo Ansen, his attention is all on Zhong Qiuchen, and what Zhong Qiuchen says counts.
"That's right, Captain Mo, what you say doesn't count, Zhong Qiuchen does!" Xue Weiwei quickly followed suit.
He originally had a fixed team before, but most of them were at the place of origin. Now he wants to follow Zhong Qiuchen.
Zhong Qiuchen is so nice, if he doesn't look at Zhong Qiuchen, he will definitely suffer!
"That's it." Chen Xiaochen made a final decision in a childish voice.
Mo Ansen's thin lips were slightly pursed, and his eyes swept over the eager faces of the three people, feeling a little uncomfortable. The only person he wanted to invite was Zhong Qiuchen.
His eyes fell on Zhong Qiuchen's face, Mo Ansen was dumb again, he didn't say anything, and let Zhong Qiuchen decide.
"Zhong Qiuchen..." Xue Erwei looked at Zhong Qiuchen expectantly, wagging his tail.
"Mid-Autumn Morning..." Chen Xia followed suit.
"Zhong Qiuchen..." Chen Xiaochen's big and clear eyes blinked, and if Zhong Qiuchen didn't agree, he would cry.
Zhong Qiuchen looked at Xue Weiwei, "Xue Weiwei can."
After a pause, Zhong Qiuchen looked at Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen who were beside him with extremely eager eyes, "You don't want it."
When Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen heard the words, they seemed to have suffered a great blow, the expectant expressions on their faces froze, and immediately petrified and cracked.
Seeing the messy and weathered appearance of the two people in the wind, Zhong Qiuchen couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen saw Zhong Qiuchen's crooked eyebrows, instantly forgot what happened before, and immediately laughed foolishly.
Their king is so cute.
"Yeah!" Xue Erwei was very excited, he moved from the opposite side of the fire to sit next to Zhong Qiuchen with his gun in his arms.
Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen were originally sitting next to Zhong Qiuchen, but when Xue Weiwei came, he immediately pushed them away from Zhong Qiuchen's side.
"Go away!"
"Here is my place."
"Don't be so stingy, besides, this piece of land doesn't belong to your family..." Xue Weiwei looked back and fought with Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen.
Zhong Qiuchen watched from the side and did not stop her.
He actually doesn't dislike Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen. He can feel that although their minds are a bit different from others, they are not the kind of people in a generalized sense or the vest man who only want to use everything for their own profit, at least not to him. .
But they acted so frantically and frantically that it made him uncomfortable.
Looking at the three people huddling together beside him, Zhong Qiuchen turned his head to look at Mo Ansen on the right. The team belonged to Mo Ansen.
Mo Ansen looked helpless, Zhong Qiuchen agreed, what can he do?
Knowing that Mo Ansen agreed, the corners of Zhong Qiuchen's mouth rose uncontrollably, his eyebrows and eyes were curved, and his smile was refreshing.
Seeing Zhong Qiuchen like that, Mo Ansen froze for a moment, distracted for a moment.
Opposite Mo Ansen, He Yin and Wu You, who had a panoramic view of all this, looked at each other. Both of them had the urge to speak, but in the end they both chose to remain silent.
If possible, they would also like to join the team. I am afraid that no one in the whole paradise can refuse this team just with the word "Mo Ansen", let alone Zhong Qiuchen.
The rest of the Guangyi team didn't know what happened to Zhong Qiuchen, but they did.
They may not be able to trust Mo Ansen absolutely, but Zhong Qiuchen, they can give up their lives, because of Zhong Qiuchen's ability and because Zhong Qiuchen will never be the one who actively betrayed and abandoned.
Looking at Xue Weiwei and Zhong Qiuchen and Mo Ansen who were fighting against each other, Wu You gritted his teeth, his face changed unpredictablely, and there was jealousy that could not be concealed in his eyes.
Not to mention Mo Ansen, Zhong Qiuchen's ability is definitely a sought-after existence in the paradise. If he can be invited to join the team, the team's survival rate will definitely be greatly improved.
Zhong Qiuchen first rejected his invitation about the "certificate", and now he was invited by Mo Ansen to become an even more untouchable existence for him.
Beside Wu You, Heine's eyes were also full of jealousy, but her expression was more frankly envious and lonely.
She touched the gun on her lap with her fingers, feeling a bit bitter in her throat.
It's not that she doesn't understand why Xue Weiwei and Mo Ansen like Zhong Qiuchen, it's because she understands that even she likes Zhong Qiuchen because of this, so she feels even more uncomfortable.
She couldn't do what Zhong Qiuchen insisted on. If she was really in danger, she couldn't guarantee that she would choose to save people instead of running away.
She knew this very well, so she even felt that she was unsightly in front of Zhong Qiuchen, like a mouse in a stinky gutter.
On the side, Guangyi's group of people were surprised even in Guangyi's inner eyes. They knew about Mo Ansen, so they didn't understand what it was that made Mo Ansen so special to a person he picked up outside.
With this interruption, everyone became absent-minded, and after a few hasty chats, everyone went to bed early.
002.
At dawn the next day, the car started again before five o'clock.
The car moved forward quickly and entered a mountainous area.
In the midsummer season, there is heavy steam in the early morning in the mountains. Driving on the winding mountain road, looking at the thick fog outside the car, everyone has the illusion that they are in a dream.
That feeling lasted for a long time until they came down from the mountain.
When they went down to the foot of the mountain, they were greeted by a town with a rather wide area, at least tens of thousands of households, and a large population.
The town is on the highway, and they need to go through nearly a fifth of the town.
Seeing the town from a distance, everyone in the car was immediately alert.
Seeing everyone in the car checking their weapons, Zhong Qiuchen got up too.
"There are zombies in the town. We were attacked when we came here before. There were so many of us at that time, and the convoy passed through directly. At that time, we were chased for a long time." Xue Weiwei explained.
When they went to the place of origin, there were more than a dozen vehicles with sufficient firepower, so it would not be a problem to pass through with great fanfare, but now they only have one vehicle with limited firepower, so it will be a tough battle.
"Try to control the range." Mo Ansen opened the door of the station, and he reached out and grabbed the roof of the car to get on the roof.
Zhong Qiuchen followed, and after Mo Ansen got on the roof, he grabbed the roof and dangled, and jumped on it.
The car moved forward rapidly, and the wind hummed on the roof.
Zhong Qiuchen's clothes were turned up, and his gaze was like a torch.
Not long after they were ready, the car drove to the front of the town. Almost when they were about 500 meters away from the town, there was movement in the town.
The zombies on the side of the highway were attracted by the sound of the car engine, and they gathered towards the highway one after another. But in a short time, more than a hundred zombies appeared as far as their eyes could see.
Everyone in the car held their breath and did not shoot immediately.
Once they shoot, the sound will spread immediately, and the zombies in the whole town will be attracted to them.
The car drove into the town, and Wu You, who was driving, gritted his teeth and slammed on the accelerator to speed up. The zombies rushing towards them on the highway were directly knocked into the air and crushed.
The car is a high-powered container truck, and the general zombies are not opponents at all, so there is no need to worry about the front, but the sides of the car have become the hardest hit areas, and countless zombies on both sides of the highway pounce on them when the car passes by.
Those zombies had no reason at all, and they were not afraid of being hit or crushed by the wheels. They rushed towards the car like crazy.
On the roof of the car, Zhong Qiuchen drew out his axe, and with his backhand, he slapped the zombie who had jumped in front of him away with the axe.
He was so powerful that the zombie that was shot by him flew far away.
Seeing the zombie flying 70 meters away, Zhong Qiuchen weighed the ax in his hand, looking for a new and suitable strength.
After waking up from the previous coma, his physical fitness has been improving like crazy, and his strength is now more than twice what it was before.
On the side, Mo Ansen kicked the flying zombies, and summoned a clothes-drying iron rod from the nearby building, and used the rod as a weapon to directly shoot most of the zombies on the roof of the car under the car.
The wheels ran over, the body shook, and at the same time there was a scalp-numbing "click" sound.
Inside the car, everyone waited with bated breath.
One second, two seconds, three seconds, the car went straight through the town and rushed out of the town, and at this time, there were at least a few hundred figures following behind the car's rear.
"Wait a little longer..." Someone in the crowd reminded, for fear that someone in the car might not be calm.
Everyone in the car looked at the zombies who were chasing after the car, their Adam's apple slipped, and cold sweat overflowed from their foreheads.
The town is huge, but the highway only passes through the outermost fifth of the town, and fortunately, only a small number of zombies were disturbed by them.
Everyone waited with bated breath. Five or six minutes later, when the car drove out of the town to a distance of nearly a mile away from the town, gunshots rang out.
Those zombies fell down quickly after chasing after the car, but more zombies became more and more crazy because of the stimulation of gunshots.
After nearly 5 minutes of shooting, everyone in the car stopped until there was no zombie behind.
On the roof of the car, Zhong Qiuchen took care of the last zombie lying on the wall of the car, went around the car to make sure there were no other zombies in the car, and got off the roof one after the other with Mo Ansen.
After confirming that it was safe, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The horror of zombies is not all because of their madness and enhanced speed and physical fitness, but also because they can't afford to lose, even once.
They can shoot zombies with countless shots without them dying, but the zombies only need to bite them and they are finished, so every time they encounter a zombie, it is a trip to the death gate for them.
"It will take more than three hours to reach the city." Wu You, who was driving ahead, reminded.
I was reminded that a group of people in the car looked at Guangyi one after another, and Guangyi had been sitting in the car without moving since the beginning.
Xue Erwei flat-mouthed, thin and tall, they are subject to Guangyi, so they have to serve him, but they are not his subordinates, why do they have to work hard when Guangyi sits?
"We got off at the edge of the city." Guang Yi said.
Xue Weiwei heaved a sigh of relief, he really didn't want to stay with Guangyi.
A group of people in Guangyi heard the words and packed their things in advance.
The three hours were not long or short, and everyone took a nap after packing up, and the car stopped.
Wu You didn't drive the car directly to the edge of the city, but stopped on the road away from the city.
The car stopped at a bend in the mountain, and beside it was a bare loess hill with no grass. The hill was not high, but it was enough to cover the car.
The car stopped, and a group of people got out of the car.
Everyone climbed to the top of the hill and looked towards the city in the distance, and Zhong Qiuchen followed suit.
The cities in the distance are different from the two cities Zhong Qiuchen visited before.
The line they took when they left the city, the edge of the city is a large old city and industrial area.Later, the place where they entered the second city was under construction, and there was a new urban area nearby that was full of high-rise buildings but no one lived there.
This city is more similar to the combination of urban and rural areas. Looking from their side, the first thing they see is a not too prosperous urban area. Opposite the town is the bustling urban area, which stretches as far as the eye can see.
There is a river between the town and the larger city on the opposite side. The river is very wide and there are several bridges in the middle.
"The gas station you are going to is across the river. After crossing the bridge and walking along the main road for half a mile, you will be there." The big man who had offered to exchange conditions before pointed to the left end of the river that crosses the city. .
After finishing speaking, he looked back at Mo Ansen, "You have Team Mo, be careful not to disturb the zombies on the road, sneak over, and get more gasoline at a time, so that it will be easier later."
Xue Weiwei looked at it with a smile, "I didn't realize that you are still a good person."
The big man froze for a moment, his expression gradually becoming weird.
He glanced at Guangyi at the side, then at Xue Weiwei, hesitant to speak.
"Let's go." Guangyi said.
The general people on the top of the hill did not hesitate, and immediately turned and went down the hill.
The hill was not high, and they went down quickly to the bottom.After gathering on the expressway, a group of people headed towards the front of the expressway, intending to enter the city.
Zhong Qiuchen and the others stood on the top of the hill and watched them leave quietly. They didn't look away until they watched them go away.
Several people looked at Zhong Qiuchen and Mo Ansen one after another, waiting for them to make up their minds.
"Rest first, we'll go there later." Mo Ansen said.
Zhong Qiuchen looked at the congested vehicles at the front of the highway from a distance, the convoy was very long, Guangyi and the others were already approaching the convoy.
"Did you go through the city when you came?" Zhong Qiuchen asked, the road ahead didn't seem to be walkable, and entering the city by car meant that they were going to ostentatiously pass through the city, which would definitely attract countless zombies.
"No, how is that possible. We try to avoid big cities when we come here, so we came around from outside the city." Heine said.
"We had enough gasoline back then, but it's different now." Wu You glanced at Zhong Qiuchen and Mo Ansen, and reminded, "We don't have much to eat anymore."
Mo Ansen brought back a bunch of food before, and they ate a lot on the way, and used up some of it when exchanging bullets with Guangyi, and now there is not much left.
They had to replenish their food, or they would be looking for food again after two days of finding gasoline.
"Do you think what they said is true?" Zhong Qiuchen looked at Mo Ansen.
Mo Ansen glanced at the direction where the gas station was pointed by the big man before, and shook his head slightly, "The matter of the gas station should not lie to us."
Zhong Qiuchen nodded, he thought so too.
The thing about the gas station should be true, but it's just that the thing about the gas station didn't lie to them. Guangyi must have something else to hide from them.
They had already noticed it, but even if Guangyi and the others were really hiding something from them, they had to go this time. Without gasoline, they couldn't move a single step, so they didn't point it out.
"What, those bastards lied to us?" Xue Weiwei came to his senses after realizing it, with an angry expression on his face.
Hai Yin and Wu You looked at each other, as if they were looking at an idiot. Thinking about it before, Xue Weiwei thought that the big man was a good man, and both of them couldn't help sighing. It is definitely a miracle that Xue Weiwei can survive till now.
"We will enter the city in the afternoon and avoid them. After entering the city, we will get gasoline and food as soon as possible and leave as soon as possible." Mo Ansen said.
A group of people looked at each other and returned to the highway.
It was still early, after ten o'clock, a group of people dispersed after sharing food in advance.
Mo Ansen, Wu You and Hai Yin were catching up on sleep in the car, and they were destined not to have a good rest tonight.Xue Weiwei was still angry about being cheated, eating while angry.
Zhong Qiuchen couldn't sleep and didn't want to eat. He was about to go to the top of the hill to look at the city and prepare for the night action. When he looked up, he found Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen standing on the top of the hill mysteriously. Mumbling something.
If it was someone else, Zhong Qiuchen wouldn't be surprised, but Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen hardly took their eyes off him all the way down, and now the two of them are sneaking around uncharacteristically, which makes people feel strange no matter how you look at it.
Zhong Qiuchen hesitated for a moment and went up the hill.
Zhong Qiuchen only walked near the top of the mountain, and Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen immediately looked back as if aware of something.
"Aren't you resting?" Chen Xia asked with a smile.
Looking at Zhong Qiuchen, Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen had exactly the same smiles, their eyes were gentle but extremely fanatical.
Especially Chen Xia, it's like looking at her own child who doesn't take a nap at noon in the summer and gets up to play, with a bit of helplessness in her gentleness.
"What were you talking about just now?" Zhong Qiuchen ignored the word "you".
Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen looked at each other, they were a little troubled, they didn't want to deceive Zhong Qiuchen, but it was impossible to say that they were actually the corpse king and felt that there was something in the city.
"Huh?" Zhong Qiuchen asked.
Chen Xia glanced at the container truck under the hill. Mo Ansen and the three were still sleeping in the car, and Xue Weiwei was still eating and angry, almost blowing himself up.
Chen Xia withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhong Qiuchen. He hesitated for a while, but he still said, "There are things in the city, maybe it's better for us not to go in."
"Is there something?" Zhong Qiuchen frowned.
"It's a very strange thing." Chen Xiaochen was a little nervous, this was a rare opportunity for him to talk directly with Zhong Qiuchen.
Before, he always wanted to get close to Zhong Qiuchen and wanted to talk to Zhong Qiuchen, but when he really got close and talked to Zhong Qiuchen, he became uneasy and blamed himself instead.
The fact that he almost caused Zhong Qiuchen to be hurt twice has always been a thorn in his heart. He wants to tell Zhong Qiuchen that he wants to plead guilty to him. Even if Zhong Qiuchen kills him in anger, he will not resist and will accept it calmly. of.
But now Zhong Qiuchen doesn't know anything, so he can't say anything.
He couldn't be punished for doing something wrong, and even got a chance to get close to Zhong Qiuchen because of it, which made him both excited and more self-blame and uncomfortable.
"Corpse King?" Zhong Qiuchen was thoughtful.
Since waking up from a coma before, his physical fitness has greatly improved, and his current perception radius has reached ten meters.
His perception is already very strong, but even so he can't perceive what is in the city a few miles away, but Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen are talking about it.
"It should be, but it's a little different." Chen Xia didn't know how to describe the feeling in his heart, his heart, his body, and his instincts were all crazily clamoring for danger.
No matter what was in the city, that thing was definitely stronger than him and Little Short Legs, even if the monster had never given them such a feeling before, it might be a real three-evolution existence this time.
"Where is he?" Zhong Qiuchen looked towards the city.
"It's hard to say, we just feel it, do you want to look for it?" Chen Xia also looked into the city.
"Looking for it? Can you find it?" Zhong Qiuchen became more and more confused.
"I'm just saying..." Chen Xia was dumbfounded.
Zhong Qiuchen looked suspiciously.
Seeing that Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen stopped talking, Zhong Qiuchen looked at the distant city again and went down the hill.
Later, the three of Mo Ansen woke up, and Zhong Qiuchen told the four of them.
"How do you know?" Wu You asked, and the other three also looked directly at Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen.
"Feeling." Chen Xia shrugged.
"Feeling?" Wu You and the others looked at each other.
"That's how it feels." Chen Xia insisted.
Wu You and the others frowned, Chen Xia's statement was too unreliable.
Although Chen Xia has been behaving a little abnormally, he did survive alone in this apocalyptic environment, and even brought a bottle of oil with him.
If there is nothing special about Chen Xia, it seems even more unacceptable.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling a little overwhelmed for a while, the previous two cities were enough for them, if possible, they didn't want to come again.
The one who broke the silence was Mo Ansen, "No matter what it is, we can only go in. The remaining gasoline is not enough to support us to go back."
Looking around at the few people, Mo Ansen continued: "If you don't want to go back and just go around, you have to walk for at least ten days, and it will take at least ten days from this city to the next city."
In this way, they would have to spend nearly a month on the road alone, and this did not take into account the situation of finding food, and their food was running out.
They have no other choice.
Not only the road ahead, they never had a choice in this doomsday environment, and even the paradise is no longer safe.
"Leave at two o'clock." Mo Ansen said.
No one refuted, and everyone silently went to the side to pack their things.
Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen looked at each other, but they didn't feel much.
The feeling of danger being shouted from all over the body did make them uncomfortable, but they didn't care that much.
Regardless of whether it is the corpse king who has evolved several times in the front city, as long as he sees the king, he will definitely understand it immediately.
Chen Xiaochen hadn't officially met Wang before, but just because Wang entered his territory, he immediately felt that the existence in the city in front of them was stronger than them, and he would definitely know Wang's more clearly than Chen Xiaochen. exist.
Before leaving, Mo Ansen moved the car away from the highway and put it behind the hill.
As soon as two o'clock arrived, several people headed for the city.
The sun at one or two o'clock in midsummer is the most vicious. Walking on the highway with no cover, everyone feels that their scalps are scorching hot.
Fortunately, there are congested convoys not far in front of the expressway. In some places, the cars are high and can provide shade.
In order to prevent zombies, their speed was very slow, which caused them to be covered with sweat only halfway through the road.
In the crowd, several people looked towards Chen Xia.
Seeing Chen Xia's winter down jacket, the muscles on everyone's faces couldn't help twitching, and seeing Chen Xia's forehead without even a drop of sweat, everyone was dumbfounded.
Chen Xia's abnormality has spread from the brain to the whole body?
"Strange, why didn't you see any zombies?" Xue Weiwei looked around with a gun in his hand as he walked.
With his previous experience, he was extra cautious about the traffic jam at this kind of highway intersection, but they didn't encounter zombies at all along the way.
"Don't let your guard down, you might be drawn into the city." Heine reminded.
Xue Weiwei was noncommittal, he always felt weird.
The situation was really strange. At first they thought that the zombies were being attracted to the edge of the city, but when they reached the edge of the city, they still didn't see a single zombie.
Not just on the edge of the city, but from what they could see, looking into the city, the whole city seemed to be completely dead, without even a single zombie.
"Look, I just said it was weird, but you still don't believe it." Xue Weiwei raised his voice. They always said that he had a bad mind, but he was obviously very smart.
"Shut up." Mo Ansen's eyes were as cold as ice.
Xue Weiwei, who was still arrogant just now, was suddenly discouraged. He pursed his mouth and dared not speak again.
"Could it be attracted away?" Zhong Qiuchen guessed that the village they went to before was like this, because they didn't see any zombies, and they were shocked at that time.
"This is the only possibility." Heine agreed.
Arriving at the edge of the city, a group of people did not enter the city directly, but began to move to the left at the edge.
Now that they know there are things in the city, they should avoid contact with the city as much as possible.
On the edge of the city here are some residential buildings. Judging from the planning, it should be the early planning model of the city. Most of the houses are not high, and there are some aging fitness equipment in the gaps between the residential buildings.
Several people walked cautiously along the residential building, and walked out for more than half an hour in one breath. After finding a place to rest again, Xue Weiwei couldn't hold back immediately.
"Why is there not a single zombie?" Xue Weiwei was surprised.
"It's kind of weird."
"How could this be? Even if you are attracted away, it's impossible not to leave a single zombie."
This time, not only Xue Weiwei, Hai Yin and Wu You also paid attention, because they didn't see a single zombie for half an hour.
Mo Ansen frowned and pondered for a moment, but couldn't figure out why, then turned to look at Zhong Qiuchen, "What do you think?"
"I've only seen this kind of situation once, in the industrial area where it originated." Zhong Qiuchen looked at Chen Xia, who was somewhat similar to the one-armed zombie he knew, and what he thought about was the one he named before. A monster that acts as a flying snake.
Being reminded, Mo Ansen came back to his senses in an instant, and broke out in a cold sweat at the same time.
The monster at the place of origin ate up the surrounding zombies, so the entire industrial area was empty, exactly the same as here.
"Industrial area?" Hai Yin and Wu You looked at each other, they were the only ones who had never been to the industrial area, and Xue Weiwei had also been there when he followed Mo Ansen to find Zhong Qiuchen.
"The monster at the place of origin devoured all the zombies around him in order to evolve," Xue Weiwei said.
Hai Yin and Wu You were dumbfounded, and at the same time, chills ran down their spines.
Listening to the conversation of several people, listening to several people discussing and guessing them in this way, Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen looked at each other, feeling extremely complicated.
What Xue Weiwei said was correct, but not entirely correct.
Devouring other zombies can indeed give them strength, but not every zombie king needs to eat countless zombies to evolve. Whether to evolve or not depends on oneself. Chen Xia was able to evolve a second time before because of the stimulation of the Soaring Snake.
"Then the corpse king in this city is the same as that monster, a corpse king that evolves in the direction of physical strength?" Hai Yin frowned, and the fear brought about by the creation of the monster in the place of origin swept over again.
"Eight/nine out of ten, and this time it has evolved three times, which is more terrifying than the previous one." Xue Weiwei turned his head and looked at the dead city shrouded in sunlight all around him, his back was cold under the bright sunlight.
"Go." Mo Ansen took the lead to leave their hiding place and ran directly towards the main road between the two buildings.
Seeing this, the others immediately followed.
Instead of continuing to slowly grope forward among the buildings, everyone let go and ran wildly on the road, their speed increased, but they ran a long distance in a moment.
Zhong Qiuchen was the fastest. While running with a group of people, he looked around leisurely, and from time to time he could even run to the front corner to explore the road ahead of time.
Looking at Zhong Qiuchen like that, Xue Ersan, whose face was flushed, ran away in just a moment.
In the car, in the silence, Chen Xiaochen and the one-armed zombie beside him exchanged glances.
No matter what Guangyi they encountered, that thing would definitely not be the corpse king, but what would it be if it wasn't the corpse king?
Both were lost in thought.
In the car, no one spoke anymore, only Xue Erwei's face changed from blue to white. He wanted to speak several times, but finally swallowed it back.
They set off at five o'clock in the morning and headed along the highway.
After eight o'clock, the rain that had been raining all night stopped completely, the sun came out, and the sky washed and washed by the heavy rain was as blue as the sea and cloudless.
When the car drove near a lake at around ten o'clock, the car stopped, Xue Weiwei and Hai Yin changed shifts, and at the same time, everyone came out to get some air.
The lake water is clear, reflecting the blue sky, and the sky and water are the same color from a distance.
The sun at ten o'clock in midsummer is already very venomous, and the skin feels aching when it shines on the skin. The water vapor left in the air from the heavy rain last night has not completely dissipated, and the combination of the two forms a strange sense of freshness after the rain.
The lake is far away from the town, and there are no zombies nearby. Everyone is completely relaxed, and even in a broad sense, they feel a little more comfortable.
Mo Ansen didn't urge him immediately, he found a place to sit down and rest, quietly watching Zhong Qiuchen who was playing by the water like a child.
Zhong Qiuchen walked around the lake in the shallow water with bare feet. He hadn't seen the scenery outside the city for a long time, which made him feel strange and excited.
In midsummer, the feeling of cold lake water passing through the insteps and insteps is very comfortable, and what makes people feel more comfortable is the fine sand under the soles of the feet, which makes the soles of the feet itchy and soft when stepping on them.
Zhong Qiuchen lowered his head and looked at his feet while walking.
Behind him, two figures, one big and one small, followed each other step by step, stepping on his footprints with every step.
Zhong Qiuchen noticed it and looked back.
Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen immediately turned their heads in tacit understanding and looked into the distance.
Zhong Qiuchen frowned, striding forward, trying to stay away from the two of them.
When Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen turned their heads, they saw that Zhong Qiuchen was far away from them, and was still glaring at them ferociously. It seemed that if anyone dared to go over, he would immediately scratch their faces, and both of them couldn't help feeling wronged.
Can't follow Zhong Qiuchen, one big and one small look at each other, the two look at each other and hate each other, separate and ignore each other.
After getting rid of Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen, Zhong Qiuchen walked around the lake for a while. After playing enough, he took his shoes and walked to Mo Ansen and sat down.
Without words, the two quietly looked at the lake ahead.
At eleven o'clock, everyone had an early lunch on the grass by the lake, and at twelve o'clock, everyone set off again.
They didn't let generalized people take over the car.
In the afternoon, Xue Weiwei and Wu You took turns driving. After Xue Weiwei and Wu You finished their shifts, Hai Yin took over in the evening and drove forward for more than two hours.
The car didn't stop until after seven o'clock at night, when the moon came out.
There were a lot of them, so they didn't choose to park near the village, but chose a flat land next to the mountain.
It was supposed to be a dry farmland, but six years had filled the field with weeds, and it was almost the same as a meadow.
At night, people lit a fire.
Zombies have phototaxis, and under normal circumstances they will never create light in the dark, and only in the wild far away from cities and villages do they dare to take risks.
In front of the fire, under the light of the fire, a group of people seemed to have lost their previous barriers, talking and laughing.
Zhong Qiuchen listened quietly, while also paying attention to Mo Ansen beside him.
He found that the more people there were, the quieter Mo Ansen was. Everyone seemed to be consciously avoiding Mo Ansen, not even mentioning him.Even if it is mentioned accidentally, it will be avoided.
The same is true of Mo Ansen himself.
When it was just him, Xue Weiwei and the others, Mo Ansen would still speak occasionally, but after there were so many people, he almost never took the initiative to speak again.
"What's on my face?" Mo Ansen turned his head.
Zhong Qiuchen was stunned for a moment, the outline of Mo Ansen's face under the firelight became deeper and deeper, but the color of his pupils became lighter, from black to a light transparent amber.
"No." Zhong Qiuchen looked away.
Mo Ansen glanced at Zhong Qiuchen, then turned around and continued to stare at the fire in front of him.
After a while, Mo Ansen turned his head again, and asked again, "After the Paradise falls, do you want to form a permanent team with me?"
Zhong Qiuchen looked over, "Team formation?"
"In the park, after joining the exploration team, you have to go out regularly to search for supplies. Most people will choose a fixed team, so that after going out, they can cooperate better and take care of each other in case of accidents." Mo Ansen explained.
In the last days, it can be said that there are lawless places everywhere. Without restraint, the trust between people becomes weak. It is common for each other to stumbling each other for the sake of benefit. Under dangerous circumstances, it is common to frame each other and push each other out to block the gun. Fixed team formation can minimize these situations from happening.
After figuring out what was going on, Zhong Qiuchen was slightly surprised, but not so surprised.
Hearing Mo Ansen's words and Mo Ansen's invitation, the other people beside the fire who were talking and laughing couldn't help but stop, turning their heads to look at Mo Ansen and Zhong Qiuchen.
There was surprise in everyone's eyes, and they had to be surprised that Mo Ansen had never had a fixed team for so many years.
It's not that no one invited Mo Ansen. There were countless people in Paradise who tried to invite him, and many of them were willing to pay a high price. After all, the presence of Mo Ansen represented the survival rate.
But Mo Ansen never paid attention to it, and only joined the team when needed, so that for six years he was never alone.
After a long time, they have become accustomed to Mo Ansen's solitude. They never thought that Mo Ansen would join the team one day, or they would propose it themselves.
Xue Weiwei, Hai Yin, and Wu You recovered quickly after being slightly startled. They were more or less used to it. Mo Ansen treated Zhong Qiuchen differently, but the group of people beside Guangyi became even more astonished when they recovered.
It's not uncommon for the exploration team to find people outside, but it's different if they find living people in the place of origin. Besides, Zhong Qiuchen's thin figure and face are even more strangely beautiful, even though he doesn't talk much all the way. No one can ignore his existence.
They had already noticed Zhong Qiuchen, but Zhong Qiuchen didn't talk much, so they could only be curious from afar.
"I'll be with you from now on?" Zhong Qiuchen looked over.
"Yeah." Mo Ansen nodded.
"Is there anyone else on the team?"
"No."
Zhong Qiuchen thought about it seriously, "Okay."
Among all the living people he has come into contact with now, Mo Ansen is the one he hates the least, because Mo Ansen is the first living person he has met in five years, and because of Mo Ansen's character itself, he doesn't hate him.
No matter what others think of Mo Ansen, in his opinion, Mo Ansen is not an annoying person, or even a pleasing and trustworthy person.
If he had to act in a team, he would never choose Guangyi and the vest man. He would rather stay with Mo Ansen.
"Hmm." Mo Ansen's mouth curled up, as if he was smiling.
On the opposite side of the fire, Xue Erwei moved his lips and leaned forward, wanting to say something, his gaze swept across Mo Ansen's expressionless face before swallowing it back.
Xue Weiwei didn't dare to speak, Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen looked at each other and hurriedly said, "We will join too!"
Zhong Qiuchen and Mo Ansen looked at each other, and met two expectant faces, Zhong Qiuchen had black lines, Mo Ansen pursed his lips and remained silent.
"No." Mo Ansen refused.
Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen immediately wanted to say something more, but Xue Weiwei was so stimulated that he yelled, "I want to join too!"
"What you say doesn't count!" Chen Xia is not afraid of Mo Ansen, his attention is all on Zhong Qiuchen, and what Zhong Qiuchen says counts.
"That's right, Captain Mo, what you say doesn't count, Zhong Qiuchen does!" Xue Weiwei quickly followed suit.
He originally had a fixed team before, but most of them were at the place of origin. Now he wants to follow Zhong Qiuchen.
Zhong Qiuchen is so nice, if he doesn't look at Zhong Qiuchen, he will definitely suffer!
"That's it." Chen Xiaochen made a final decision in a childish voice.
Mo Ansen's thin lips were slightly pursed, and his eyes swept over the eager faces of the three people, feeling a little uncomfortable. The only person he wanted to invite was Zhong Qiuchen.
His eyes fell on Zhong Qiuchen's face, Mo Ansen was dumb again, he didn't say anything, and let Zhong Qiuchen decide.
"Zhong Qiuchen..." Xue Erwei looked at Zhong Qiuchen expectantly, wagging his tail.
"Mid-Autumn Morning..." Chen Xia followed suit.
"Zhong Qiuchen..." Chen Xiaochen's big and clear eyes blinked, and if Zhong Qiuchen didn't agree, he would cry.
Zhong Qiuchen looked at Xue Weiwei, "Xue Weiwei can."
After a pause, Zhong Qiuchen looked at Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen who were beside him with extremely eager eyes, "You don't want it."
When Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen heard the words, they seemed to have suffered a great blow, the expectant expressions on their faces froze, and immediately petrified and cracked.
Seeing the messy and weathered appearance of the two people in the wind, Zhong Qiuchen couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen saw Zhong Qiuchen's crooked eyebrows, instantly forgot what happened before, and immediately laughed foolishly.
Their king is so cute.
"Yeah!" Xue Erwei was very excited, he moved from the opposite side of the fire to sit next to Zhong Qiuchen with his gun in his arms.
Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen were originally sitting next to Zhong Qiuchen, but when Xue Weiwei came, he immediately pushed them away from Zhong Qiuchen's side.
"Go away!"
"Here is my place."
"Don't be so stingy, besides, this piece of land doesn't belong to your family..." Xue Weiwei looked back and fought with Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen.
Zhong Qiuchen watched from the side and did not stop her.
He actually doesn't dislike Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen. He can feel that although their minds are a bit different from others, they are not the kind of people in a generalized sense or the vest man who only want to use everything for their own profit, at least not to him. .
But they acted so frantically and frantically that it made him uncomfortable.
Looking at the three people huddling together beside him, Zhong Qiuchen turned his head to look at Mo Ansen on the right. The team belonged to Mo Ansen.
Mo Ansen looked helpless, Zhong Qiuchen agreed, what can he do?
Knowing that Mo Ansen agreed, the corners of Zhong Qiuchen's mouth rose uncontrollably, his eyebrows and eyes were curved, and his smile was refreshing.
Seeing Zhong Qiuchen like that, Mo Ansen froze for a moment, distracted for a moment.
Opposite Mo Ansen, He Yin and Wu You, who had a panoramic view of all this, looked at each other. Both of them had the urge to speak, but in the end they both chose to remain silent.
If possible, they would also like to join the team. I am afraid that no one in the whole paradise can refuse this team just with the word "Mo Ansen", let alone Zhong Qiuchen.
The rest of the Guangyi team didn't know what happened to Zhong Qiuchen, but they did.
They may not be able to trust Mo Ansen absolutely, but Zhong Qiuchen, they can give up their lives, because of Zhong Qiuchen's ability and because Zhong Qiuchen will never be the one who actively betrayed and abandoned.
Looking at Xue Weiwei and Zhong Qiuchen and Mo Ansen who were fighting against each other, Wu You gritted his teeth, his face changed unpredictablely, and there was jealousy that could not be concealed in his eyes.
Not to mention Mo Ansen, Zhong Qiuchen's ability is definitely a sought-after existence in the paradise. If he can be invited to join the team, the team's survival rate will definitely be greatly improved.
Zhong Qiuchen first rejected his invitation about the "certificate", and now he was invited by Mo Ansen to become an even more untouchable existence for him.
Beside Wu You, Heine's eyes were also full of jealousy, but her expression was more frankly envious and lonely.
She touched the gun on her lap with her fingers, feeling a bit bitter in her throat.
It's not that she doesn't understand why Xue Weiwei and Mo Ansen like Zhong Qiuchen, it's because she understands that even she likes Zhong Qiuchen because of this, so she feels even more uncomfortable.
She couldn't do what Zhong Qiuchen insisted on. If she was really in danger, she couldn't guarantee that she would choose to save people instead of running away.
She knew this very well, so she even felt that she was unsightly in front of Zhong Qiuchen, like a mouse in a stinky gutter.
On the side, Guangyi's group of people were surprised even in Guangyi's inner eyes. They knew about Mo Ansen, so they didn't understand what it was that made Mo Ansen so special to a person he picked up outside.
With this interruption, everyone became absent-minded, and after a few hasty chats, everyone went to bed early.
002.
At dawn the next day, the car started again before five o'clock.
The car moved forward quickly and entered a mountainous area.
In the midsummer season, there is heavy steam in the early morning in the mountains. Driving on the winding mountain road, looking at the thick fog outside the car, everyone has the illusion that they are in a dream.
That feeling lasted for a long time until they came down from the mountain.
When they went down to the foot of the mountain, they were greeted by a town with a rather wide area, at least tens of thousands of households, and a large population.
The town is on the highway, and they need to go through nearly a fifth of the town.
Seeing the town from a distance, everyone in the car was immediately alert.
Seeing everyone in the car checking their weapons, Zhong Qiuchen got up too.
"There are zombies in the town. We were attacked when we came here before. There were so many of us at that time, and the convoy passed through directly. At that time, we were chased for a long time." Xue Weiwei explained.
When they went to the place of origin, there were more than a dozen vehicles with sufficient firepower, so it would not be a problem to pass through with great fanfare, but now they only have one vehicle with limited firepower, so it will be a tough battle.
"Try to control the range." Mo Ansen opened the door of the station, and he reached out and grabbed the roof of the car to get on the roof.
Zhong Qiuchen followed, and after Mo Ansen got on the roof, he grabbed the roof and dangled, and jumped on it.
The car moved forward rapidly, and the wind hummed on the roof.
Zhong Qiuchen's clothes were turned up, and his gaze was like a torch.
Not long after they were ready, the car drove to the front of the town. Almost when they were about 500 meters away from the town, there was movement in the town.
The zombies on the side of the highway were attracted by the sound of the car engine, and they gathered towards the highway one after another. But in a short time, more than a hundred zombies appeared as far as their eyes could see.
Everyone in the car held their breath and did not shoot immediately.
Once they shoot, the sound will spread immediately, and the zombies in the whole town will be attracted to them.
The car drove into the town, and Wu You, who was driving, gritted his teeth and slammed on the accelerator to speed up. The zombies rushing towards them on the highway were directly knocked into the air and crushed.
The car is a high-powered container truck, and the general zombies are not opponents at all, so there is no need to worry about the front, but the sides of the car have become the hardest hit areas, and countless zombies on both sides of the highway pounce on them when the car passes by.
Those zombies had no reason at all, and they were not afraid of being hit or crushed by the wheels. They rushed towards the car like crazy.
On the roof of the car, Zhong Qiuchen drew out his axe, and with his backhand, he slapped the zombie who had jumped in front of him away with the axe.
He was so powerful that the zombie that was shot by him flew far away.
Seeing the zombie flying 70 meters away, Zhong Qiuchen weighed the ax in his hand, looking for a new and suitable strength.
After waking up from the previous coma, his physical fitness has been improving like crazy, and his strength is now more than twice what it was before.
On the side, Mo Ansen kicked the flying zombies, and summoned a clothes-drying iron rod from the nearby building, and used the rod as a weapon to directly shoot most of the zombies on the roof of the car under the car.
The wheels ran over, the body shook, and at the same time there was a scalp-numbing "click" sound.
Inside the car, everyone waited with bated breath.
One second, two seconds, three seconds, the car went straight through the town and rushed out of the town, and at this time, there were at least a few hundred figures following behind the car's rear.
"Wait a little longer..." Someone in the crowd reminded, for fear that someone in the car might not be calm.
Everyone in the car looked at the zombies who were chasing after the car, their Adam's apple slipped, and cold sweat overflowed from their foreheads.
The town is huge, but the highway only passes through the outermost fifth of the town, and fortunately, only a small number of zombies were disturbed by them.
Everyone waited with bated breath. Five or six minutes later, when the car drove out of the town to a distance of nearly a mile away from the town, gunshots rang out.
Those zombies fell down quickly after chasing after the car, but more zombies became more and more crazy because of the stimulation of gunshots.
After nearly 5 minutes of shooting, everyone in the car stopped until there was no zombie behind.
On the roof of the car, Zhong Qiuchen took care of the last zombie lying on the wall of the car, went around the car to make sure there were no other zombies in the car, and got off the roof one after the other with Mo Ansen.
After confirming that it was safe, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The horror of zombies is not all because of their madness and enhanced speed and physical fitness, but also because they can't afford to lose, even once.
They can shoot zombies with countless shots without them dying, but the zombies only need to bite them and they are finished, so every time they encounter a zombie, it is a trip to the death gate for them.
"It will take more than three hours to reach the city." Wu You, who was driving ahead, reminded.
I was reminded that a group of people in the car looked at Guangyi one after another, and Guangyi had been sitting in the car without moving since the beginning.
Xue Erwei flat-mouthed, thin and tall, they are subject to Guangyi, so they have to serve him, but they are not his subordinates, why do they have to work hard when Guangyi sits?
"We got off at the edge of the city." Guang Yi said.
Xue Weiwei heaved a sigh of relief, he really didn't want to stay with Guangyi.
A group of people in Guangyi heard the words and packed their things in advance.
The three hours were not long or short, and everyone took a nap after packing up, and the car stopped.
Wu You didn't drive the car directly to the edge of the city, but stopped on the road away from the city.
The car stopped at a bend in the mountain, and beside it was a bare loess hill with no grass. The hill was not high, but it was enough to cover the car.
The car stopped, and a group of people got out of the car.
Everyone climbed to the top of the hill and looked towards the city in the distance, and Zhong Qiuchen followed suit.
The cities in the distance are different from the two cities Zhong Qiuchen visited before.
The line they took when they left the city, the edge of the city is a large old city and industrial area.Later, the place where they entered the second city was under construction, and there was a new urban area nearby that was full of high-rise buildings but no one lived there.
This city is more similar to the combination of urban and rural areas. Looking from their side, the first thing they see is a not too prosperous urban area. Opposite the town is the bustling urban area, which stretches as far as the eye can see.
There is a river between the town and the larger city on the opposite side. The river is very wide and there are several bridges in the middle.
"The gas station you are going to is across the river. After crossing the bridge and walking along the main road for half a mile, you will be there." The big man who had offered to exchange conditions before pointed to the left end of the river that crosses the city. .
After finishing speaking, he looked back at Mo Ansen, "You have Team Mo, be careful not to disturb the zombies on the road, sneak over, and get more gasoline at a time, so that it will be easier later."
Xue Weiwei looked at it with a smile, "I didn't realize that you are still a good person."
The big man froze for a moment, his expression gradually becoming weird.
He glanced at Guangyi at the side, then at Xue Weiwei, hesitant to speak.
"Let's go." Guangyi said.
The general people on the top of the hill did not hesitate, and immediately turned and went down the hill.
The hill was not high, and they went down quickly to the bottom.After gathering on the expressway, a group of people headed towards the front of the expressway, intending to enter the city.
Zhong Qiuchen and the others stood on the top of the hill and watched them leave quietly. They didn't look away until they watched them go away.
Several people looked at Zhong Qiuchen and Mo Ansen one after another, waiting for them to make up their minds.
"Rest first, we'll go there later." Mo Ansen said.
Zhong Qiuchen looked at the congested vehicles at the front of the highway from a distance, the convoy was very long, Guangyi and the others were already approaching the convoy.
"Did you go through the city when you came?" Zhong Qiuchen asked, the road ahead didn't seem to be walkable, and entering the city by car meant that they were going to ostentatiously pass through the city, which would definitely attract countless zombies.
"No, how is that possible. We try to avoid big cities when we come here, so we came around from outside the city." Heine said.
"We had enough gasoline back then, but it's different now." Wu You glanced at Zhong Qiuchen and Mo Ansen, and reminded, "We don't have much to eat anymore."
Mo Ansen brought back a bunch of food before, and they ate a lot on the way, and used up some of it when exchanging bullets with Guangyi, and now there is not much left.
They had to replenish their food, or they would be looking for food again after two days of finding gasoline.
"Do you think what they said is true?" Zhong Qiuchen looked at Mo Ansen.
Mo Ansen glanced at the direction where the gas station was pointed by the big man before, and shook his head slightly, "The matter of the gas station should not lie to us."
Zhong Qiuchen nodded, he thought so too.
The thing about the gas station should be true, but it's just that the thing about the gas station didn't lie to them. Guangyi must have something else to hide from them.
They had already noticed it, but even if Guangyi and the others were really hiding something from them, they had to go this time. Without gasoline, they couldn't move a single step, so they didn't point it out.
"What, those bastards lied to us?" Xue Weiwei came to his senses after realizing it, with an angry expression on his face.
Hai Yin and Wu You looked at each other, as if they were looking at an idiot. Thinking about it before, Xue Weiwei thought that the big man was a good man, and both of them couldn't help sighing. It is definitely a miracle that Xue Weiwei can survive till now.
"We will enter the city in the afternoon and avoid them. After entering the city, we will get gasoline and food as soon as possible and leave as soon as possible." Mo Ansen said.
A group of people looked at each other and returned to the highway.
It was still early, after ten o'clock, a group of people dispersed after sharing food in advance.
Mo Ansen, Wu You and Hai Yin were catching up on sleep in the car, and they were destined not to have a good rest tonight.Xue Weiwei was still angry about being cheated, eating while angry.
Zhong Qiuchen couldn't sleep and didn't want to eat. He was about to go to the top of the hill to look at the city and prepare for the night action. When he looked up, he found Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen standing on the top of the hill mysteriously. Mumbling something.
If it was someone else, Zhong Qiuchen wouldn't be surprised, but Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen hardly took their eyes off him all the way down, and now the two of them are sneaking around uncharacteristically, which makes people feel strange no matter how you look at it.
Zhong Qiuchen hesitated for a moment and went up the hill.
Zhong Qiuchen only walked near the top of the mountain, and Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen immediately looked back as if aware of something.
"Aren't you resting?" Chen Xia asked with a smile.
Looking at Zhong Qiuchen, Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen had exactly the same smiles, their eyes were gentle but extremely fanatical.
Especially Chen Xia, it's like looking at her own child who doesn't take a nap at noon in the summer and gets up to play, with a bit of helplessness in her gentleness.
"What were you talking about just now?" Zhong Qiuchen ignored the word "you".
Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen looked at each other, they were a little troubled, they didn't want to deceive Zhong Qiuchen, but it was impossible to say that they were actually the corpse king and felt that there was something in the city.
"Huh?" Zhong Qiuchen asked.
Chen Xia glanced at the container truck under the hill. Mo Ansen and the three were still sleeping in the car, and Xue Weiwei was still eating and angry, almost blowing himself up.
Chen Xia withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhong Qiuchen. He hesitated for a while, but he still said, "There are things in the city, maybe it's better for us not to go in."
"Is there something?" Zhong Qiuchen frowned.
"It's a very strange thing." Chen Xiaochen was a little nervous, this was a rare opportunity for him to talk directly with Zhong Qiuchen.
Before, he always wanted to get close to Zhong Qiuchen and wanted to talk to Zhong Qiuchen, but when he really got close and talked to Zhong Qiuchen, he became uneasy and blamed himself instead.
The fact that he almost caused Zhong Qiuchen to be hurt twice has always been a thorn in his heart. He wants to tell Zhong Qiuchen that he wants to plead guilty to him. Even if Zhong Qiuchen kills him in anger, he will not resist and will accept it calmly. of.
But now Zhong Qiuchen doesn't know anything, so he can't say anything.
He couldn't be punished for doing something wrong, and even got a chance to get close to Zhong Qiuchen because of it, which made him both excited and more self-blame and uncomfortable.
"Corpse King?" Zhong Qiuchen was thoughtful.
Since waking up from a coma before, his physical fitness has greatly improved, and his current perception radius has reached ten meters.
His perception is already very strong, but even so he can't perceive what is in the city a few miles away, but Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen are talking about it.
"It should be, but it's a little different." Chen Xia didn't know how to describe the feeling in his heart, his heart, his body, and his instincts were all crazily clamoring for danger.
No matter what was in the city, that thing was definitely stronger than him and Little Short Legs, even if the monster had never given them such a feeling before, it might be a real three-evolution existence this time.
"Where is he?" Zhong Qiuchen looked towards the city.
"It's hard to say, we just feel it, do you want to look for it?" Chen Xia also looked into the city.
"Looking for it? Can you find it?" Zhong Qiuchen became more and more confused.
"I'm just saying..." Chen Xia was dumbfounded.
Zhong Qiuchen looked suspiciously.
Seeing that Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen stopped talking, Zhong Qiuchen looked at the distant city again and went down the hill.
Later, the three of Mo Ansen woke up, and Zhong Qiuchen told the four of them.
"How do you know?" Wu You asked, and the other three also looked directly at Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen.
"Feeling." Chen Xia shrugged.
"Feeling?" Wu You and the others looked at each other.
"That's how it feels." Chen Xia insisted.
Wu You and the others frowned, Chen Xia's statement was too unreliable.
Although Chen Xia has been behaving a little abnormally, he did survive alone in this apocalyptic environment, and even brought a bottle of oil with him.
If there is nothing special about Chen Xia, it seems even more unacceptable.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling a little overwhelmed for a while, the previous two cities were enough for them, if possible, they didn't want to come again.
The one who broke the silence was Mo Ansen, "No matter what it is, we can only go in. The remaining gasoline is not enough to support us to go back."
Looking around at the few people, Mo Ansen continued: "If you don't want to go back and just go around, you have to walk for at least ten days, and it will take at least ten days from this city to the next city."
In this way, they would have to spend nearly a month on the road alone, and this did not take into account the situation of finding food, and their food was running out.
They have no other choice.
Not only the road ahead, they never had a choice in this doomsday environment, and even the paradise is no longer safe.
"Leave at two o'clock." Mo Ansen said.
No one refuted, and everyone silently went to the side to pack their things.
Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen looked at each other, but they didn't feel much.
The feeling of danger being shouted from all over the body did make them uncomfortable, but they didn't care that much.
Regardless of whether it is the corpse king who has evolved several times in the front city, as long as he sees the king, he will definitely understand it immediately.
Chen Xiaochen hadn't officially met Wang before, but just because Wang entered his territory, he immediately felt that the existence in the city in front of them was stronger than them, and he would definitely know Wang's more clearly than Chen Xiaochen. exist.
Before leaving, Mo Ansen moved the car away from the highway and put it behind the hill.
As soon as two o'clock arrived, several people headed for the city.
The sun at one or two o'clock in midsummer is the most vicious. Walking on the highway with no cover, everyone feels that their scalps are scorching hot.
Fortunately, there are congested convoys not far in front of the expressway. In some places, the cars are high and can provide shade.
In order to prevent zombies, their speed was very slow, which caused them to be covered with sweat only halfway through the road.
In the crowd, several people looked towards Chen Xia.
Seeing Chen Xia's winter down jacket, the muscles on everyone's faces couldn't help twitching, and seeing Chen Xia's forehead without even a drop of sweat, everyone was dumbfounded.
Chen Xia's abnormality has spread from the brain to the whole body?
"Strange, why didn't you see any zombies?" Xue Weiwei looked around with a gun in his hand as he walked.
With his previous experience, he was extra cautious about the traffic jam at this kind of highway intersection, but they didn't encounter zombies at all along the way.
"Don't let your guard down, you might be drawn into the city." Heine reminded.
Xue Weiwei was noncommittal, he always felt weird.
The situation was really strange. At first they thought that the zombies were being attracted to the edge of the city, but when they reached the edge of the city, they still didn't see a single zombie.
Not just on the edge of the city, but from what they could see, looking into the city, the whole city seemed to be completely dead, without even a single zombie.
"Look, I just said it was weird, but you still don't believe it." Xue Weiwei raised his voice. They always said that he had a bad mind, but he was obviously very smart.
"Shut up." Mo Ansen's eyes were as cold as ice.
Xue Weiwei, who was still arrogant just now, was suddenly discouraged. He pursed his mouth and dared not speak again.
"Could it be attracted away?" Zhong Qiuchen guessed that the village they went to before was like this, because they didn't see any zombies, and they were shocked at that time.
"This is the only possibility." Heine agreed.
Arriving at the edge of the city, a group of people did not enter the city directly, but began to move to the left at the edge.
Now that they know there are things in the city, they should avoid contact with the city as much as possible.
On the edge of the city here are some residential buildings. Judging from the planning, it should be the early planning model of the city. Most of the houses are not high, and there are some aging fitness equipment in the gaps between the residential buildings.
Several people walked cautiously along the residential building, and walked out for more than half an hour in one breath. After finding a place to rest again, Xue Weiwei couldn't hold back immediately.
"Why is there not a single zombie?" Xue Weiwei was surprised.
"It's kind of weird."
"How could this be? Even if you are attracted away, it's impossible not to leave a single zombie."
This time, not only Xue Weiwei, Hai Yin and Wu You also paid attention, because they didn't see a single zombie for half an hour.
Mo Ansen frowned and pondered for a moment, but couldn't figure out why, then turned to look at Zhong Qiuchen, "What do you think?"
"I've only seen this kind of situation once, in the industrial area where it originated." Zhong Qiuchen looked at Chen Xia, who was somewhat similar to the one-armed zombie he knew, and what he thought about was the one he named before. A monster that acts as a flying snake.
Being reminded, Mo Ansen came back to his senses in an instant, and broke out in a cold sweat at the same time.
The monster at the place of origin ate up the surrounding zombies, so the entire industrial area was empty, exactly the same as here.
"Industrial area?" Hai Yin and Wu You looked at each other, they were the only ones who had never been to the industrial area, and Xue Weiwei had also been there when he followed Mo Ansen to find Zhong Qiuchen.
"The monster at the place of origin devoured all the zombies around him in order to evolve," Xue Weiwei said.
Hai Yin and Wu You were dumbfounded, and at the same time, chills ran down their spines.
Listening to the conversation of several people, listening to several people discussing and guessing them in this way, Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen looked at each other, feeling extremely complicated.
What Xue Weiwei said was correct, but not entirely correct.
Devouring other zombies can indeed give them strength, but not every zombie king needs to eat countless zombies to evolve. Whether to evolve or not depends on oneself. Chen Xia was able to evolve a second time before because of the stimulation of the Soaring Snake.
"Then the corpse king in this city is the same as that monster, a corpse king that evolves in the direction of physical strength?" Hai Yin frowned, and the fear brought about by the creation of the monster in the place of origin swept over again.
"Eight/nine out of ten, and this time it has evolved three times, which is more terrifying than the previous one." Xue Weiwei turned his head and looked at the dead city shrouded in sunlight all around him, his back was cold under the bright sunlight.
"Go." Mo Ansen took the lead to leave their hiding place and ran directly towards the main road between the two buildings.
Seeing this, the others immediately followed.
Instead of continuing to slowly grope forward among the buildings, everyone let go and ran wildly on the road, their speed increased, but they ran a long distance in a moment.
Zhong Qiuchen was the fastest. While running with a group of people, he looked around leisurely, and from time to time he could even run to the front corner to explore the road ahead of time.
Looking at Zhong Qiuchen like that, Xue Ersan, whose face was flushed, ran away in just a moment.
