Chapter 21 New Home

When he arrived at the rented house, Li Muran had already tidied it up. Except for not scrubbing it with water, it looks more or less the same. The town has its own small hydropower plant, which is built right next to the river, so buildings like this are still supplied with water, but it is unpurified water, mainly used for flushing toilets. If you want to use it for other purposes, of course no one will care. Electricity is limited, come for an hour every morning and evening. Utilities are charged separately.

As soon as he entered the house, Zhang Ruiyang ran around happily, paying no attention to every corner, even the yard, exclaiming from time to time, his voice full of happiness. His favorite was the yard at the back. It was very wide and there was an old-fashioned three-legged wicker chair in it. He got under the lame leg of the wicker chair and called into the room his father, and then his handsome uncle and fat uncle. and aunt, but only one person was called out.

In the room, Li Muran had already started treating Rou Ta Chen's wounds. Zhang Yi was helping. Nan Shao saw that he could not help and heard Yang Yang shouting, so he walked out. When I saw the little guy hiding under the wicker chair and winking at him, he was so happy that he couldn't help stroking his forehead. When he saw nothing, he raised his head and looked at the backyard.

The backyard is more than 20 square meters, half of it is paved with cement, and half of it is exposed. It shows gray-brown soil that has been cracked by the sun, with withered plants leaning on it. It will break with a light step. It should be from the past. Planted by the homeowner. In addition to the broken wicker chair, there were some rotten mops, brooms and other debris in the yard. The courtyard is connected to the foot of the mountain, and there is a small door, which is locked from the inside. The mountains should have been covered with shrubs before, but now they were all withered and without any greenery. When he continued to look up, he saw a scene that surprised him. It turned out that there were three two-meter-wide overpasses connecting the roof of the building and the mountain wall, leading directly to the middle of the mountain. I don't know whether it was there when the building was built, or whether it was built after the end of the world. No wonder those people want to live upstairs. There is such a way out.

The screams of Meat Chen Ouch came from the room. Zhang Ruiyang, who was having fun, was startled. He crawled out from under the wicker chair and was about to rush into the room, but Nan Shao reached out and caught him.

"Don't go in. Auntie and Dad are treating Fat Uncle's wounds. Don't interrupt. We are playing outside."

"But, Fat Uncle is yelling..." Zhang Ruiyang hesitated, stretching his neck to grab Nan Shao's shoulder. He said while looking into the room.

"It's okay. Being able to call means that Uncle Fatty is in good spirits and will get better soon." Nan Shao touched the little guy's head, then squatted down, put him on the ground, and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Zhang Ruiyang's His attention was immediately diverted and he shook his head. He reached into the bag in front of his pants and dug through it. Then he took out an apple-flavored lollipop and handed it to Nan Shao, "Uncle Handsome, I still have a lollipop." Candy, do you want to eat it?"

Nan Shao recognized at a glance that it was what he had brought to him in the morning. He suddenly felt an indescribable taste, and there was a hint of fondness in his eyes. He took the candy and tore it open. With the candy wrapper stuck on it, I glanced at the child who was staring at his hand, then smiled and stuffed the candy back into his hand, saying, "Eat it, uncle there are many more. But you can only eat one piece a day, otherwise your teeth will have to eat." There are worms." After saying this, he couldn't help but feel miserable. I'm afraid that worms will become a luxury disease in the future.

Zhang Ruiyang held the candy in his hand and glanced hesitantly into the room, as if he was considering whether to take it in first and give it to his father to taste.

"Eat this one yourself. I'll give one to each of Dad, Fat Uncle, and Aunt Mu Ran later." Seeing his thoughts, Nan Shao sighed and promised.

"Is there any handsome uncle?" The child had a good memory. He read it again with his fingers and immediately found that one person was missing from the people who could get the candy.

"Yes." Nan Shao was very pleased, feeling that his pain for this little guy was not in vain.

So Zhang Ruiyang was satisfied. Probably out of habit, he held the candy and tried to get under the wicker chair. Fortunately, Nan Shao quickly caught him with his quick eyes and hands. "You are not allowed to crawl on the ground when eating in the future." There is no need to wash your hands now. It was convenient before, otherwise he would have taken the child into the house and washed it thoroughly.

Zhang Ruiyang blinked his big black eyes, twisted his body uncomfortably, and finally sat down on the stone stairs next to Nan Shao, sucked in the saliva that was about to drip out, and took out the candy.

"I know, grandma wasn't allowed to crawl on the floor before." The child replied loudly, but when he mentioned grandma, his mood suddenly dropped.

Nan Shao couldn't help but put his arms around his shoulders and used the magic of changing the topic again, "My name is Nan Shao. From now on, call me Uncle Nan and Uncle Shao. Don't call me Uncle Handsome anymore."

"Uncle Pumpkin!" Zhang Ruiyang was stunned for a moment. , then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked up at Nan Shao, but he could only see his chin covered with green stubble. He couldn't help but stretched out his little hand and touched it. The palm of his hand was pricked, so he giggled. got up. "Same as dad's."

Uncle Pumpkin... Nan Shao's face froze for a moment, and after a while he said slowly: "It's Uncle Nan Shao." It's okay to call him by his full name.

The child said oh, took back his hand, and concentrated on licking the candy.

Nan Shao was relieved, but he didn't know that he was relieved too early, so that the name Uncle Pumpkin followed him for a long time.

In the room, Li Muran was wearing gloves and skillfully sewing up the wound on Rou Ta Chen's left side. The wound on the left side was grazed by the bullet, so there was no bullet casing left in it, and no major blood vessels were damaged. Although it looks scary, it can be sutured and bandaged after cleaning it. As for the right side, it is relatively more troublesome, so I left it there. Processed later.

When the apocalypse occurred, Li Muran was interning at the Zhongzhou Provincial People's Hospital. He had just arrived in general surgery for a few days, and had previously rotated in burns and plastic surgery, surgery in bone surgery, and surgery in urology. I have done a lot of debridement and dressing change, and I have also performed many surgeries. Although I always have three assistants and four assistants, knotting and suturing are common. If you encounter a teacher who performs the surgery, you will also have the opportunity to perform surgery. Use the knife. Of course, this was my first time doing something like dealing with a gunshot wound, so I really didn't have any confidence, but in the current situation, I could only do my best.

Sweating profusely, Li Muran rubbed his head on his shoulder, clamped a few pieces of gauze to cover the sutured wound, then handed it to Zhang Yi and asked him to tape it up while he took off the dressing and spread it again. On the wound on the right leg. In the past, she would have been scolded by the teacher for doing this, but there was only one debridement bag, so there was no condition for her to perform strict aseptic operations.

The wound on the right leg must be incised, and then the necrotic tissue must be removed along the trajectory of the bullet to find out the bullet or shrapnel left inside, and at the same time check whether the femur is broken. This series of things seems simple, but it is extremely tedious to do. You need to be familiar with the anatomy of the leg to avoid damaging blood vessels or nerves. Even an experienced orthopedic surgeon will spend a lot of time, not to mention Li Muran, who is a good hand. .

The sky was getting dark, and Li Muran had no confidence to finish it before dark. Even if the power supply was added for another hour, it might not be enough, so he could only say to Zhang Yi: "Find me some candles, the more the better. "

Li Muran is too busy here alone, so Zhang Yi called Nan Shao in again and gave him this task.

Nan Shao was stumped. Even before the end of the world, he might not know where to get candles, let alone now.

"Look in this room first. If you can't find it, go to the trading market and see if anyone is exchanging." After hearing his question, Zhang Yi thought for a while and said.

Nan Shao decisively followed his instructions and rummaged through every corner of the room, cabinets and drawers, and he actually found two half-sections of white candles as thick as a thumb. But this was not enough for surgery, so he grabbed a few corpse crystals and prepared to go to the trading market to look for them. When he was about to walk out the door, he stepped back and poured the remaining water from the bottles of several people into the original owner's basin. He also washed the bottles and took them with him. He then put his hands on the back door frame and looked into the house. Yangyang brought him along.

"Didn't I tell you not to peek? Why did you peek?" Nan Shao asked, carrying the little guy on his shoulders.

"I didn't peek." Zhang Ruiyang immediately shook his head and denied it, but he felt guilty, so he added in a low voice: "I just watched a little bit."

"Are you afraid?" Nan Shao was helpless.

Zhang Ruiyang shook his head, but soon realized that Uncle Pumpkin couldn't see him, so he said, "Don't be afraid, I have seen monsters eating people, and dad killing monsters." When Zhang Yi fell ill and was in a coma, he would often move a small stool to the window. Look at the scene of zombies eating people outside. Later, Zhang Yi escaped from the county town with him on his back, and scenes like this became inevitable. He was still young and couldn't understand what those meant, so even his fear was very limited.

After hearing these words, Nan Shao finally realized that his thoughts were a bit hypocritical. If people who are still alive now, whether they are adults or children, are afraid of blood, how can they live long. He suddenly thought of Nan Wei, and felt a little worried in his heart. He had protected him tightly before, but now that he was gone, how would he survive. Then he suddenly realized that he had already died once, so why worry about it anymore? Considering how much Nan Wei disliked him, she must have rather died than accept his care.

"Nan...Uncle Pumpkin, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Ruiyang felt uneasy when he saw that he didn't speak for a long time, thinking that he was angry with him.

The sticky little hands touching his face, as well as the dumbfounding title, instantly wiped away the discomfort that had just emerged in Nan Shao's heart. He raised his hand and grabbed the little hand covered in sugar water, and lifted it from his face. He took it away and reiterated again: "It's Uncle Nanshao."

"Oh." Zhang Ruiyang obviously didn't take it to heart. He turned his eyes and saw the front and became excited, "Uncle Pumpkin, look, there are so many people."

Nan Shao was speechless, but the trading market had arrived and he no longer thought about correcting.

At this time, there are more and more teams returning to the town, so the trading market is more lively than before. There is everything from food to various daily necessities and weapons. It can be seen that the superpowers are really powerful and can get everything. Nan Shao and Zhang Ruiyang spent a long time squeezing through the crowd, and finally found a candle exchanger.

Nowadays, the weather is long, it darkens later and lights up earlier, and people have to go out to the city to hunt corpses during the day. People usually go to bed after dark, and few people have the need for candles, so there are several large packages of candles placed there, and no one cares about them. Nan Shao directly used a corpse crystal to get them all. Just as he was about to leave with Zhang Ruiyang, his attention was attracted by a fist-sized black stone on the stall.

"What is this?" he asked, pointing to the thing.

The stall owner was an ordinary person, so the things he got for exchange were not of much use. He pointed at them and couldn't help but reveal an awkward smile on his face, "I don't know, I picked them up in the woods outside the town. If you like them, give them to me." Two biscuits will do... one will do too."

Nan Shao didn't bring anything to eat except a few corpse crystals, but he felt the fluctuation of life energy in the black stone and really didn't want to let it go, so he was thinking of using one. When the corpse crystal came over, he felt something shaking in the corner of his eye. Zhang Ruiyang, who was sitting on his shoulder, stretched out his hand, and there was a biscuit on it.

After successfully getting the black stone, Nan Shao didn't ask until he left the crowd: "What else did you bring with you?" There were candies and biscuits, and he suddenly had the urge to go through the child's bag.

"There's nothing." As if sensing his thoughts, Zhang Ruiyang took the initiative to take out his entire wallet and spread his little hands.

"Next time, uncle will give you a bag of biscuits." Nan Shaodun felt guilty, so he made a promise.

"Okay." Zhang Ruiyang was not polite at all.

By the time the two of them returned home with candles, water and bran cakes, it was already dark and the light in the room was on. It was a 60-watt incandescent lamp. The light was not particularly good. Liang was blocked, causing Li Muran to always turn his head away to wipe his sweaty and dazzled eyes.

Seeing how many candles Nan Shao brought back, Zhang Yi immediately asked him to light a few candles around them, barely functioning as shadowless lamps.

"Fortunately, you are fat and have a thick layer of fat, which offset part of the impact of the bullet and did not damage the bones." After inserting his finger into the incision and touching it carefully, Li Muran breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the man who was also sweating profusely and had a pale face. Meat Tower Chen said. The anesthesia conditions were insufficient. She only used two tubes of lidocaine for local infiltration anesthesia that she had brought in the debridement bag. You can imagine the pain she suffered.

Routa Chen grinned, gasped and said: "That's...our flesh...can't grow in vain...right...haha..."

Li Muran didn't say any more, and his eyes returned to his hands. Go up and carefully remove a small piece of shrapnel from it. Because it was a pistol bullet, it exploded as soon as it entered the flesh, and the injury inside was much more serious than it looked on the outside. The shrapnel is not in the same place, so you need to find it all. Otherwise, if one or two pieces are missing, it will be enough for the meat tower to suffer.

No one knows exactly how long it took. Anyway, the power was cut off and a second round of candles was lit. Zhang Ruiyang was already lying on the bed and fell asleep, so Li Muran placed the drainage strip and called it a day.

After mopping the wet floor twice, the exhausted people ate something hastily and rested. That night Rou Ta Chen slept on the sofa, Li Muran and Zhang Ruiyang slept on the bed in the bedroom, and Zhang Yi and Nan Shao found beds and mats in the house and spread them out in the yard to sleep.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Yi opened his eyes alertly and found Nan Shao sleeping next to him with his hands behind his head, his eyes open and not sleepy at all.

"What? You can't sleep in the open air? You can sleep in the house after tidying up tomorrow."

He had just slept, his voice was a little hoarse, and he looked inexplicably sexy in the dark night. Hearing Nan Shao's heart beat slightly, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at him. Instead of answering the question, he whispered: "I'm thinking, if this continues, how many ways do we have to survive."

After hearing this, Zhang Yi fell silent . a long time.

"Are we all going to be like this in the future? Being bullied by people with superpowers, and also by those who are not superpowers, like dogs..." What happened during the day has been stuck in Nan Shao's heart, and in the dead of night, Without the interference of other things, everything emerged again. He used to be at the top of society, with only others rushing to please him and curry favor with him. How could he have thought that one day he would be reduced to this situation. Even during the post-apocalyptic period, he never suffered this humiliation. Even though he was well versed in the rules of the jungle, he still couldn't accept this psychological gap for a while.

"Survive first before we can talk about anything else." Zhang Yi smiled and reached out to touch his leg, which had never stopped hurting. His smile contained indescribable desolation. When he was in prison, in order to get out alive, wasn't he just like a dog? He had scary sharp teeth and he also knew how to flatter and please. Even the team members he once led happened to see him when they happened to see him in the prison, and they didn't believe that it was him who was once upright. He still remembers the disappointment and contempt in his eyes, but he doesn't care anymore. What is strong is easy to break, and the words of the ancients need to be taught through blood and tears before we can truly understand them.

"Can you still live?" Nan Shao asked.

"Yeah." Zhang Yi actually didn't know, but he still answered without hesitation. As long as he didn't get to the last step, he would always answer like this.

Nan Shao felt better. He found that Zhang Yi seemed to have the power to make people feel peaceful and stable. Turning over, he put his head on his hands and asked, "Brother Yi, how old are you?"

"Thirty-four. What about you?"

"Twenty-nine." Nan Shao finally felt that Brother Yi's shout was not unjust. Although no one forced him before. "How did you hurt your leg?" He suddenly had the urge to understand this man.

"I was interrupted in prison." Zhang Yi is actually not that shy about the past, but he just doesn't like to mention it most of the time.

"Ah?" This answer was beyond Nan Shao's expectation, because he couldn't tell that Zhang Yi seemed to have been in prison.

"I was in prison for five years, and I didn't come out until the end of the world..." Zhang Yi smiled and said, but later, when he thought of the scene he saw when he was released from prison, he felt so sad that he suppressed his voice.

"Why did you go in?" It was dark, and Nan Shao didn't notice anything unusual about him, so he continued to ask.

"Dereliction of duty." After a moment, Zhang Yi answered.

"Did you offend someone?" This was Nan Shao's first reaction.

Zhang Yi laughed twice and then said, "It's all in the past. It's not interesting, so I won't mention it anymore. Go to sleep, you can't sleep when the sun comes up." After saying that, he turned over and said after a moment There was a gentle snore.

Nan Shao also lay down, but his heart could not be calm for a long time. He didn't know that there was another person in the bedroom with his eyes open and his mood up and down. Li Muran woke up alertly when they started talking. Since she awakened her powers, her ears and eyes have been much more sensitive than ordinary people, so even if the two of them spoke in a lowered voice, she still heard everything.

She finally realized that she was not the worst offender after all. Her parents were divorced and her father wanted a son, so he abandoned her to her mother. Her mother remarried and gave birth to three children for her stepfather. The stepfather had no good intentions towards her, but she still protected her intactly and went to college. As long as she graduates from college, she can completely leave that so-called home. Who would have thought that the end of the world would suddenly come. Her mother and stepfather went to school to pick up a few younger siblings and returned to her stepfather's ancestral home in the country, but they left her alone in the same city. So not knowing where to go, she could only flee with the other survivors...

She raised her hands to cover her eyes, unwilling to think about what happened next. The sound of Xiao Yangyang's sleeping breathing came to her ears, which gradually calmed her down, and she unconsciously thought of what Zhang Yi said before.

Survive first, then talk about other things. Yes, survive first!

Chapter 22 Improving abilities

The next day, several people did not go out hunting, but completely tidied up the house. Since the three men all had to sleep in the living room, they moved the sofa, coffee table and other things to one side. When they slept, they laid mats and sheets from the cupboard directly on the floor. The weather is hot, this way not only cools you down, but also allows you to stretch your body. With a meaty body shape, after sleeping on the sofa for one night, I couldn't stop shouting. Zhang Yi and Nan Shao are both very tall, so naturally they don't want to sleep on the small sofa. As for Yangyang, he can sleep wherever he wants. As long as he doesn't wet the bed, no one will dislike him.

Zhang Yi and Nan Shao found some relatively flat stones from the foot of the mountain behind the yard, and built a small firewood-burning stove in the yard for cooking. The original owner used to use a gas stove, but the gas tank had long been confiscated. Of course, Zhang Yi was almost all doing it, and Nan Shao was not good at it, so he could only help out and contribute. Then they went to the back mountain to collect a lot of dry firewood and hay, occupying half of the yard.

Li Muran used the newly built small stove to light a fire and cooked the rice they brought back into a small pot of dry rice. Each person could fit a small bowl. Even so, with pickled peppers, it was the best meal they had had in several and half years. Yes. Even the vanguard team does not have the ability to spend a lot of water to cook meals for the team members. When eating dry food, it would be good to have a sip of clear soup with oil and salt. Of course, the captain's treatment will definitely be better.

There are pots, bowls and chopsticks in the house, but it takes a lot of water to clean them, plus the ones used for cooking, which really consumes a lot of corpse crystals. If it weren't for the fact that the rent was only 300 corpse crystals, plus the thirty-odd crystals they bribed the fat man in charge, there would still be about 200 corpse crystals left in exchange for the medicine, and there were still a dozen or so that they had earned before. How dare you waste it like this.

"When we get back some more corpse crystals tomorrow, let's cook porridge and drink it." Li Muran looked at Zhang Ruiyang, whose mouth was red from the heat of the pickled peppers, and who kept drinking water. He looked very happy with his meal, with a slight smile on his face and said . She actually hesitated when she started cooking. Although less rice was used to cook the porridge, more water was needed. After much thought, she still didn't want to pour in a few more bottles of water.

"Yeah." Zhang Yi poured half of the rice in his bowl into Zhang Ruiyang's bowl and touched his son's head in response.

"Dad, I'm full." Zhang Ruiyang looked at the extra white rice in his bowl, then secretly glanced at Zhang Yi's empty bowl, and pouted.

"Save it for when you're hungry." Zhang Yi said, and then stopped others from wanting to save food for Yangyang, "Don't spoil him."

"I still have biscuits." Zhang Ruiyang shook his head and raised the small bowl. It's about to be put into Zhang Yi's bowl.

Zhang Yi hurriedly caught it, thinking that with the cooperation of several people, it would be possible to cook something to eat, so he no longer forced himself.

"Not only corpse crystals, but also rice noodles and canned pickled vegetables." Nan Shao said that they attacked Xiaodian Street the day before yesterday and they didn't want to rob others. They didn't bring back anything good except rice noodles and bags of pickled peppers scattered on the ground.

"Then we need to plan carefully." Zhang Yi said, handing a piece of bran cake to Rou Ta Chen, knowing that the small bowl of rice was just a toothpaste, and it would definitely not be enough for Rou Ta Chen.

Rou Ta Chen was not very embarrassed. He was just eating free rice now, so how could he have the nerve to eat more than their hard-working people?

"Take it. Eat enough, get well soon, and come with me to kill zombies." Zhang Yi put the bran cake directly into his bowl and said calmly.

Hearing this, Routa Chen no longer wanted to refuse, so he hugged the bran cake and began to chew it silently, which was very different from his chattering yesterday. Because he lowered his head, no one could see that his eye circles were red.

Of course Nan Shao and Li Muran had no objection to this. They also knew that when Rou Ta Chen got better, it would be a great help to them. They are not in a tight situation now, so they bought a lot of bran cakes in exchange for them. They can store them there even if they don't finish eating them, so they are not afraid of spoilage and are prepared for any trouble.

Of course, the appetite of several people was not enough for a small bowl of white rice, so they all took a piece of bran cake and gnawed it dry with water, or broke it into pieces and put them in a bowl, soaked them in water until soft, and ate them slowly. No matter what, the body will become strong only when it is full. Only when the body is strong can it resist diseases and have the strength to fight more zombies and obtain more supplies. This is a truth that everyone understands.

"On the edge of the county, although it is easier to escape, most people are gathered there, unable to get supplies, and the number of zombies to fight is limited." Zhang Yi said while sipping water. He is the most familiar with the county and certainly has the most say.

"In places like commercial streets and farmers' markets, although there are a lot of supplies, there are also a lot of zombies. Once you enter, you may be blocked. Because the harvest is relatively large, it is a place where people with supernatural powers like to go. There are few of us, and there are no supernatural beings. Can..." Having said this, he paused slightly and glanced at Nan Shao, obviously remembering his useless superpower. "We can only inherit the wisdom of our ancestors and play guerrilla with zombies, so the place we choose does not have to be too lucrative, but it must allow us to advance and retreat freely." Therefore, the strong have their own way of survival, and the weak have their own way of survival. road.

The other two are not ambitious people, so they agree with Zhang Yi's idea. Next, Zhang Yi drew a rough map of the county, and finally the few people discussed where to go tomorrow.

There is a residential area at the junction of the old and new cities. Because it was built earlier, it is not surrounded by walls like the later communities, and there are also gatekeepers. The floor is not high, because it is adjacent to the old city, and there is only a narrow alleyway between the building and the old flat at the back. If necessary, you can jump directly from the upstairs to the roof of the old city, and then choose another way. escape. Zhang Yi was not sure if anyone had been there, but he thought it was worth a trip.

"Nan Shao has awakened his plant powers, and Xiao Chen has a speed mutation. I want to take some of the corpse crystals I hunted to help them improve their abilities." Finally, Zhang Yi proposed, of course to Li Muran. Only when the overall capabilities of the team are enhanced, their chances of survival will be greater and their lives will be better.

Nan Shao's ears were slightly hot, feeling sorry for his useless power, but he couldn't bear to refuse, because he was still unwilling to accept it. After all, he had finally awakened his power, and he always wanted to see if there would be any surprises if his ability improved. role. While hesitating, he heard Li Muran speak.

"I...I also have superpowers." Li Muran raised his hand and rubbed his face, feeling a little embarrassed.

As soon as these words came out, several other people were stunned. The first words that came to their minds were the words "waste power", otherwise why would they never see her use it.

After looking at their expressions, Li Muran looked slightly embarrassed: "I don't know what kind of superpower it is... I was pushed into the zombie group by them, thinking that I was bound to die, but who knew that he suddenly appeared here. I We were praying for the market in Yunzhou at that time. "

Nan Shao stopped drinking water. Zhang Yizheng turned his head to avoid Zhang Ruiyang's passionate kiss. He paused when he heard this and was kissed on the mouth by his son. The meat was exposed. The bran cake fell into the bowl.

The distance from Yunzhou to Zhongzhou is thousands of kilometers, and it takes an hour or two by plane. How could they cross it in such a short time?

"God..." Routa Chen murmured, looking at Li Muran with eyes filled with admiration. "You can just go wherever you want?"

Li Muran smiled bitterly, "I don't know how to use it. I don't even dare to try again, for fear of bad luck and falling into a pile of zombies, or falling into another strange place. "So having superpowers means not having them.

There was a hint of sympathy in Nan Shao's eyes, thinking that at least he could control this, while hers was simply a matter of luck. Zhang Yi coughed dryly and said, "Then you can practice with them. If you master this ability well, it will be quite useful."

Li Muran nodded silently, not really daring to hold out much hope.

After discussing the matter, the meal was almost finished. Everyone rinsed their bowls and chopsticks with water, then put them away for use next time. Li Muran put away the meat tart for him. Due to limited conditions, it is impossible to spend a lot of water washing dishes every time. Zhang Ruiyang refused Zhang Yi's help and walked around the kitchen for a long time holding his small bowl and chopsticks, and finally hid in a place that he felt was very private.

It was still early, so Li Muran and Routa Chen each took a corpse crystal and began to absorb it. Nan Shao originally thought about it, but when he saw Zhang Yi carrying Yang Yang towards the back mountain, he followed him by accident.

"Find out the terrain clearly. If there is any accident, you can easily deal with it." Zhang Yi saw him following him, so he told his purpose.

Of course Nan Shao understood this truth. He had also done this in the past. Everywhere he went, he would ask people to check the surrounding environment clearly, so as not to panic and fall into a desperate situation when danger occurred. But since meeting Zhang Yi, he found that he was lazy and unwilling to use his brain at all. He would do whatever the other party said. He knew that this was related to Zhang Yi's arrangement of everything, but it was also related to him being a little frustrated. But he is not completely decadent, because he is still trying to improve his abilities.

"Without the fragrance of flowers, there are no trees as tall..." After walking for a while, Zhang Ruiyang suddenly started singing, and his young voice broke the silent journey. Although this sentence was repeated over and over again, it was out of tune and he walked to the Pacific Ocean, but it was full of happiness.

"It sounds good." Nan Shao held back a smile and looked at the little guy who was singing so engrossedly on Zhang Yi's back. He felt that the song was quite suitable for the occasion.

Zhang Ruiyang smiled and buried his face on his father's back with some embarrassment. But he quickly raised his head and said proudly, "Grandma taught me this!"

"Grandma is so awesome." Nan Shao continued to compliment. He hadn't heard this kind of song full of memories of the times for a long time. Hearing it at a time like this makes me a little sad.

"Of course. Grandma can sing many, many beautiful songs, and she can cut many, many beautiful flowers..." Zhang Ruiyang began to shake his little body, showing no modesty at all, especially about his favorite grandma.

Zhang Yi slapped his butt with his backhand and said, "If you keep moving around, get down and walk by yourself."

"Okay." The child was in a restless mood. When he heard this, he got what he wanted and twisted around, trying to slide to the ground. .

Zhang Yi's face turned dark. He glanced at his son's shoes with his big toe exposed, and realized that the bottom of the soles had been worn thin. It would be strange to feel pain when walking on this mountain road. Seeing this, Nan Shao quickly reached out and picked him up and put him on his shoulders, "Let's sit on uncle's shoulders."

"Uncle Pumpkin is so kind!" The child's attention was immediately diverted, and he held Nan Shao's head with his little hands and lowered his head. She kissed him on the forehead. She obviously liked this high position, especially Nan Shao's hands and steps were very steady, which made the child feel excited but not scared, unlike when he was always on Zhang Yi's back. Somewhat bumpy.

"It's not...pumpkin..." Nan Shao sighed, unable to correct himself.

Zhang Yi laughed.

>> Chapter 23 CaveThe mountain at the back was not very high, but when they climbed to the top, they found that there was still a mountain behind, with one level connected to the other. If the trees had not withered, they should have been lush and green all the way to the sky, but now they were all dead brown and black.

"It seems that there is no need to worry about zombies coming from this way." Zhang Yi said, squinting his eyes slightly and thinking carefully about where that direction was. Then it suddenly dawned on him, "It should be the Jingnan Natural Scenic Area over there. It was hot when the apocalypse happened, so there should be a lot of people vacationing there."

Nan Shao didn't take this to heart very much. He teased Zhang Ruiyang while He responded casually, then suddenly pointed to the recess in the mountain and said, "Look, there is a cave over there. Do you want to go and have a look?"

"Go, go, dad, let's dig into the cave." Sitting on Nan Shao's shoulders Zhang Ruiyang became excited when he heard this and started jumping up and down.

"Don't move, it's about to fall." Nan Shao hurriedly grabbed the swaying child, sweating profusely.

Zhang Ruiyang suddenly calmed down, but still looked at Zhang Yi eagerly, his eyes that were darker and brighter because of the sunshine were full of expectation.

"Let's go, but we can only look outside." Zhang Yi felt soft-hearted, and he really wanted to know how deep the cave was, so he relented.

Zhang Ruiyang cheered and kissed Nan Shao again. Nan Shao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but I have to say that it was quite useful.

The road to the cave was not easy to walk. It was covered with thorn bushes and dwarf beech trees. There were no traces of people walking on it. Even the cave was only revealed because the plants had withered and fallen. It took a lot of effort for the three of them to get there, but the easiest one was Zhang Ruiyang. His little face was flushed by the sun, but his energy was still so good. When he thought about it, he would yell at Sister Liu that Hong Kong's words were too unreasonable, or maybe A chicken in the left hand and a duck in the right hand. Eventually, even Zhang Yi couldn't hold himself any longer. Since he was released from prison, he had never seen the little guy so excited, and naturally he was not lucky enough to hear such a cute howl. As for Nan Shao, he had already endured the pain in his stomach from laughing and dropped the child on the ground. The children looked at them with a puzzled look on their faces. They probably thought they were working so hard, so why weren't they praised? But his attention was soon drawn to the cave, and he had no time to pay attention to the strange expressions of the two adults.

The cave is not big, and the entrance only allows two people to enter side by side. The inside extends diagonally downwards, and the ground is covered with gravel. Standing at the entrance of the cave and looking in, you can only see that the space has expanded a dozen meters down, and what it looks like further back cannot be clearly seen because the light cannot reach it and it is getting darker.

"Okay, you can't go in without a flashlight." Zhang Yi coaxed the child who was leaning in at the entrance of the cave, eager to try.

Zhang Ruiyang was just curious and wanted to come over and see what the cave was like. Now that he saw the darkness inside, he was actually a little scared. When he heard Zhang Yi's words, he immediately said "Oh" and couldn't answer any faster.

The cave was surrounded by thornwood and there was nothing interesting about it. The three of them returned within two minutes. On the way back, Zhang Ruiyang recovered from his low spirits and fell asleep on Nan Shao's back. Zhang Yi took off his shirt and covered the child's head to block some sunlight. These clothes were not worn when going out to fight zombies. They smelled heavily of sweat and contained Zhang Yi's unique smell, but there was no zombie rotting smell. It drifted into Nan Shao's nose and made him dizzy for a moment.

"Brother Yi..." He coughed and then shouted, without stopping.

"What's the matter?" Looking at his son who was already asleep, Zhang Yi couldn't help lowering his voice in response.

"Cave." Nan Shao only said two words.

"I know." Zhang Yiling reacted immediately.

At this point, the brief conversation between the two ended. When they returned home, Routa Chen and Li Muran were still practicing. Zhang Yi took the sleeping Zhang Ruiyang off Nan Shao's back and placed him on the mat on the ground. He still covered his son with his shirt, and then went to get the clothes he wore when going out.

Nan Shao took a look at his naked upper body, which was tanned by the sun and still covered with stains. He noticed that although he was a little thin, he could still feel the strength and beauty of the swollen muscles. He couldn't help but take a second look, thinking that Yi's figure was really good.

"Let's go." Zhang Yi put on his clothes and walked back.

Nan Shao went to get a lighter, and the two found their usual lighter in the yard and walked to the cave in the back mountain again.

It turned out that the two of them had noticed a rotten smell at the entrance of the cave before, but because Zhang Ruiyang was there, they didn't say anything more, but kept on guard. Fortunately, nothing happened. There is such a place in the back mountain. If they don't figure it out, how can they rest assured? After all, if something goes wrong, their residence will be the first place to be threatened.

On the road, I used a machete to cut down a few dead branches as thick as my wrists. When I got to a place in the cave where there was no light, I lit one for lighting. It is really not easy to find a flashlight at this time, and generally no one uses it. If they are not seeking death, or if they are powerful and confident, no one will go hunting at night.

In the cave, as they saw at the entrance, there was a wide cave hall more than ten meters away, covering an area of ​​more than two hundred square meters. The floor of the cave hall is also covered with large and small stones. At first glance, there is no cave leading to anywhere else. However, they searched the entire cave hall but could not find the source of the rancid smell, so the two of them did not believe that the cave was only as big as it looked. After careful inspection, I finally found a cave entrance behind two heavy rocks that could only allow one person to pass through. The rancid smell there was stronger than elsewhere, confirming their thoughts.

The two of them looked at each other and were a little hesitant. Because the cave was too narrow and they didn't know what was going on inside, it was too dangerous to go in rashly. But if we just turn back like this, then this trip will be in vain, and we will never feel at ease in the future.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Yi suddenly picked up a sharp stone from the ground and scratched his arm, and blood instantly emerged.

"Brother Yi!" He moved so fast that it was too late for Nan Shao to stop him, but he felt a little ashamed because he had never thought of solving their current problem in this way. In other words, except for Nan Wei, he was not used to giving to others.

Zhang Yi shook his head, saying it was okay, and then stretched his bleeding arm to the entrance of the inner cave. The smell of humans is already very attractive to zombies, not to mention the effect of fresh blood on them. If there were zombies inside, they would probably go crazy if they smelled this smell. However, after they waited for a long time, nothing came out, not even a sound.

"You can go in. But be careful." Zhang Yi concluded. He lit another torch and prepared to go ahead, but this time Nan Shao beat him to it.

"Pull your sleeves higher so they don't touch the wound." Nan Shao stretched the burning stick in front of him and said without looking back, actually trying to hide his discomfort.

Zhang Yi hummed, put out the wooden stick in his hand, took out his free hand, and rolled up his sleeves as instructed. No one knew how long the zombie virus would survive after leaving the human body, so he didn't dare to take any chances. As for the wound on the hand, we can only wait for the blood to clot on its own.

The cave was not deep, and not long after walking, Nan Shao stopped. Zhang Yi saw that he remained motionless and silent for a long time, thinking something was going on, so he quietly stepped forward and looked inside from his shoulder. But at this moment, Nan Shao turned around, as if wanting to talk to him, and their faces immediately bumped into each other.

Zhang Yi felt as if his lips had touched a very soft place, so he took a step back and asked in a low voice with some embarrassment: "Are you okay?" This "nothing" contains two meanings. One is to ask if there is any danger in the cave, and the other is to ask if there is any danger in the cave. Just ask if it hurt the other person.

Nan Shao's eyes flashed, and after a while he replied: "It's okay." After a pause, he added: "There is a zombie inside."

Zhang Yi knew that if it was just a zombie, it would not be possible for him to be stunned for so long. Yes, it's a pity that I couldn't see clearly what was going on inside just now.

"A zombie tied to a stone pillar." Nan Shao continued without waiting for him to guess further. "There's still a lot of food." He said as he walked in.

As soon as he got out of the way, Zhang Yi immediately heard the familiar breathing sound of the zombies. He sounded a little weak, and he didn't know if he was hungry. It would definitely be a good thing for zombies if they were really going to be starved to death. With this in mind, he walked in and was immediately shocked by what he saw.

>> Chapter 24 Cave MasterThe cave inside is not big. If Nan Shao raises the burning stick in his hand higher, the firelight can illuminate it roughly. Half of the fifty-square-meter area is filled with things like rice, noodles, cans of biscuits, salt, and bottled mineral water. The other side is divided into two parts. Pots, pans, gas stoves are placed on the outside, and the inside is separated by a thin wooden board. Open it, and you can vaguely see a bed, a small bookshelf and a simple desk.

The zombie Nan Shao was talking about was located in the innermost part of the narrow passage left in the middle. There was a stone pillar supporting the roof of the cave. It was thick with both hands. The zombie sat on the ground leaning against the stone pillar, and a rope was tied around his chest and abdomen to the pillar. . Seeing the two people coming in, it weakly waved its two free paws in an attempt to pounce. The rope tied to it didn't look too tight, but it was strong, so it could only struggle in vain.

Zhang Yi thought the rope was tied strangely at first sight. It wasn't until he got closer that he realized that the knot of the rope was tied in front of the zombie, as if it had tied itself up.

"No one has been here for a long time." Probably with the same suspicion as him, Nan Shao looked around carefully, wiped the simple desk with his fingers, looked at the dust on his fingertips, and said.

Zhang Yi walked over and saw the notebook spread out on the desk. He couldn't help but reach out and pick it up. Under the firelight, he saw the date written in black gel pen on it: June 13, 2015 in the lunar calendar.

It was more than five months ago? He couldn't help but read along.

"Friday.

I'm going to die.

Today is Friday. Every time I came to this day, I would be extremely excited, because I would have two days of rest soon, and I wouldn't have to see those annoying little cubs anymore. However, from the darkest day of the last day until now, only It lasted for ten days, but it seemed like I had endured it for a month, a year, or even longer. When I think about the past, it feels like it happened in a previous life... The wound is so itchy... Am I about to become like that? Monster...

if I do it again, I will never bring that dead woman back! Damn the mayor's daughter-in-law!

I will chop her into pieces! Give it to the monsters in the town, but it's still too late. I slept with her, and her nails scratched my back. I couldn't see it. She thought I didn't know...she thought. I'm a fool, damn, there's such a green and black scar on her leg that doesn't bleed, I'm blind so I can't see it, damn!

The wound seems to be numb, no, not just the wound, the whole back seems to be numb... ...I'm so hungry...I don't want to die...

If I turn into that kind of monster and run down the mountain, someone will definitely kill me...I don't want to die...Maybe I can awaken powers like those people, I want to tie myself up Get up, yes, tie it up...the rope...just use that nylon rope...

I can't hold on anymore, I'm so hungry...I can think of images of Adan being hacked to death. Those pieces of blood and meat look so delicious. , it would be nice if they didn't throw it down the mountain, it would make those guys cheaper... No, I don't want to say this, what I want to say is... what... By the way, if anyone sees this diary, please help me provide it For the sake of so much food, don't kill me... I don't want to die."

The text stopped abruptly, without a period, and only a few drops of black liquid blurred the writing. It was hard to tell whether it was tears or something else. Zhang Yi exhaled and looked at Nan Shao, who was looking around in the cave. He didn't know when he inserted the burning stick into the gap between the stones.

"No one else should have been here." Except for this unlucky cave owner.

Hearing his voice, Nan Shao looked up and pointed at the pot: "There is half a pot of broken rice in here. There are blood stains on the knife...and on the ground, but the cutting board is clean."

It seems that the diary Everything recorded there is true. Zhang Yi raised the diary in his hand at him. Nan Shao was stunned for a moment, walked over, took it, glanced at it quickly, and flipped through the previous contents before returning it to Zhang Yi. Then he walked to the zombie sitting on the ground and avoided it. Open its claws and raise the pickaxe twice to eliminate it.

"The moment he turned into a zombie, he was no longer the master of these things." After digging out the corpse crystal from the zombie's brain, Nan Shao raised his head and found Zhang Yizheng looking at him, perhaps because he was carrying the light of the fire. His eyes looked a little dark, and he couldn't help but explain, as if he didn't want the other party to think that he was an ungrateful person. "If he hadn't been ill-intentioned towards that woman, he wouldn't have died. Besides, he didn't show any mercy when he killed the zombies his parents turned into." Seeing that Zhang Yi still didn't speak, he suddenly felt uneasy and started to do it again. Baba said: "It's not safe to leave it here, and it's easy for others to find it."

"Yes. We need to get it outside." Zhang Yi finally answered, and Nan Shao breathed a sigh of relief, and thought about it again. I didn't even know what I was nervous about in the scene just now.

Of course Zhang Yi would not blame Nan Shao for killing a zombie. He was just thinking about how to deal with the materials in the cave, so he responded a little slowly.

It turns out that this zombie was a primary school Chinese teacher before the apocalypse, and lived in the building where they live now, but on the top floor. I have a dog at home, and I discovered this cave when I was looking for the dog. He has a withdrawn personality. Apart from going to work, he likes to squat at home and surf the Internet. He is particularly interested in things like apocalyptic disasters and alien civilizations. He has fantasized countless times about how he would be so arrogant if the apocalypse happened. In a mediocre situation, he recruited a younger brother to build a harem to dominate the world, and the first person he considered to be included in the harem was his first love, A Dan, who kicked him out to marry the mayor's son, causing him to fall into despair. So when the eschatology became rampant due to frequent natural and man-made disasters, he began to collect materials and find space, and even quietly used the money his parents had saved for his retirement and for marrying him a wife. He was so secretive that even his family didn't know.

It must be said that he was quite lucky, because when he spent all his and his parents' savings to prepare everything, the end of the world really came. But at the same time, his luck is not that good, at least not as good as that of the protagonist in the apocalyptic novel, because among the jade stones he bought, none of them can recognize its owner and provide him with supplies and tools that can be cultivated to become stronger. space.

After seventy-two hours of darkness, his parents became the first people to become zombies. He killed them without mercy when they still had a trace of reason left and were unwilling to hurt him, and then packed up the things he needed. He quietly hid his belongings in the cave prepared long ago in the back mountain. Even his married brother and sister who lived nearby didn't even think of taking care of him. In his opinion, those who achieve great things should not stick to trivial matters and must be cold-blooded enough. If he goes to find his elder brother and sister, he will have to raise them with their relatives who are not involved. He is still too weak now and does not have enough supplies, so I still can't accept so many useless people. He told himself that it would be okay to go to them after he became stronger and take proper care of them.

It's a pity that the imagination is rich, but the reality is too skinny. How could a person who was extremely cowardly and incompetent before the end of the world become stronger just because the end of the world has come and he has some food in hand? When he saw the zombies roaming everywhere in the town, which was no different from hell on earth, he backed down decisively. He thinks this is a matter of assessing the situation.

He had nothing to do all day long. At first, he would practice chopping in the big hole outside with the Tang Dao he got, and then he would run and jump and do tiger push-ups to exercise his physical strength. However, for a person who was too lazy to move before the end of the world, this kind of training was absolutely boring and hard. So after two days, he began to make excuses for himself and slowly stopped training. There was no computer or training, so reading and writing diaries became what he used to pass his time. He was even complacent about this, thinking that he had foresight and had prepared everything, even living in a cave for a year or two would be no problem.

The notebook only recorded the events of the ten days after the apocalypse, as well as some memories of the past. In the first few days, the words were full of vitality and ambition, but later on, it became more depressed and decadent. Perhaps he had begun to Realize that there is something wrong with the goals you have established. So on the tenth day, he took Tang Dao and decided to go down the mountain for a look. Unexpectedly, he met his first love A Dan who had fled to the mountain for refuge. What happened next is recorded in the diary. Although it is not detailed enough, it is enough to give a glimpse of the general situation.

Zhang Yi really couldn't sympathize with this person, even if they were about to benefit from his actions.

"Look at this knife." He learned from the diary that there was a Tang knife. After killing the zombies, Nan Shao began to search in the cave and found it under the quilt. However, it looked rusty at first glance, which made him a little suspicious.

Zhang Yi took it and tried it. He found that the knife was a little sluggish, and it could be seen that it was not the original scabbard. However, when a bit of the blade was exposed, the light like snowflakes under the fire made the two people immediately know that the sword was not extraordinary.

With a boring sound, Zhang Yi pulled out the entire knife, then turned his wrist and slashed the footrail of the folding wire bed at an angle. Wherever the knife passed, it was as if there was nothing there, and the hollow iron railing did not move at all. He was stunned for a moment, but Nan Shao reached over and pushed it, only to find that it had been broken, but it still maintained its original shape. The two looked at each other, surprised and excited.

"He can actually get such a good knife!" Nan Shao couldn't help but sigh. Having such a good knife, but still being trapped in this cave, really makes people don't know what to say.

Zhang Yi put away the knife and said, "Let's move the body outside first. As for these things, what do you think?"

"Get some of it, and keep the rest here." Nan Shao answered without hesitation, After speaking, he suddenly paused and asked, "You don't want to hand these over to the town, do you? Or do you want to share them with others?"

"I look like that kind of selfless person?" Zhang Yi was stunned.

"Like." Nan Shao nodded.

Zhang Yi felt dumbfounded. He didn't know how he had left such an impression on him. If it was before he was imprisoned, he might have some ideas. After all, he had a strong sense of justice in his heart and always wanted to help others. But after experiencing so much, he could no longer retain his selfless, upright and bloody temperament. He will not harm others, but when his own interests cannot be guaranteed, it is impossible to help others for free.

"That will only bring trouble." He answered, shaking his head.

Chapter 26 Meeting Zheng Kun again"Xiao Chen started to say that you don't look well... Just be fine." Zhang Yi breathed a sigh of relief and explained.

Only then did Nan Shao realize that they were worried about him. He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart and said with a smile: "Something really almost happened just now." Then he talked about the influence of the black stone and the changes caused by absorbing the corpse crystal, and finally said: " What I'm a little unsure about now is whether it's the effect of the black stone that caused this improvement, or the effect of practicing after using up his powers."

Routa Chen's eyes lit up when he heard it. After he finished speaking, he immediately spoke: " Brother Shao, let me try." In fact, in terms of age, he is two or three years older than Nan Shao, but Nan Shao has a stronger aura than him, and he doesn't feel aggrieved when he calls him brother.

Nan Shao originally wanted him and Li Muran to help verify it, but after hearing this, he got up and delivered the black stone to him. However, after holding the meat pagoda for a long time, Chen's face turned red, but there was no reaction at all. In the end, he could only open his eyes in frustration: "I am a mutant, so it may not be useful. Let Miss Muran try it." While talking, Called Li Muran loudly twice.

Li Muran walked out of the bedroom. She had heard the conversation between several people before, and now she did not pretend not to know. She directly took the black stone from Routa Chen's hand and sat down cross-legged on the spot. About half an hour later, she opened her eyes and returned the black stone to Nan Shao, saying: "It's useless." After that, she added: "The superpower can't be transferred in." She only felt the superpower in her body after absorbing the corpse crystal. existence, the mobilization was a bit sluggish, so it took so long. It's a pity that her superpower was bounced back as soon as it touched the black stone, and she didn't have the feeling of encountering a black hole like Nan Shao's.

"Currently, it seems that it is only useful for your special powers." After a moment of silence, Zhang Yi said, then reached out and patted Nan Shao on the shoulder, "Be careful, it is better to be slower than to be impatient. Everything is about stability."

Nan Shao . Shao hummed. Then he spent a whole night studying the use of the black stone, and found that the black stone could endlessly absorb the powers input from the outside world, but he could not endlessly absorb corpse crystals to supplement and enhance the powers. After absorbing the third After a corpse crystal, he felt an uncontrollable pain throughout his body, making him afraid to continue.

"How did you end up like this?" It was early in the morning, and Zhang Yi woke up as soon as he moved. When he saw him, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"What does it look like?" Nan Shao was at a loss. Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that his palms were sticky. When he raised them, he saw that they were full of blood. He quickly stood up and walked to the bathroom. He looked in the small mirror hanging on the wall. There was blood on his face and neck, but it was not as heavy as an injury, but more like sweat.

Zhang Yi also followed him, stood at the bathroom door and watched him look in the mirror, and asked: "What's going on? Is he injured somewhere?"

Nan Shao lifted up his sleeves and trouser legs to check, and explained the feeling of practicing just now. , and finally said: "Maybe my body can't bear the intensity of this kind of training. It's okay, but I need to clean it with water. It's not okay to go out like this." The smell of blood all over his body, isn't that a living target for zombies?

So Zhang Yi had to run a few more times, change a lot of water, come back, let Nan Shao wash his face, wipe his body, and put on the clothes they got back from the public bathhouse. Although there are clothes in the back cave, the original owner should be relatively short. Except for Li Muran and Yang Yang, who has not yet grown up, the three grown men can't even wear them.

The movements of the two people had already alerted Li Muran and Routa Chen. Li Muran walked past the bathroom door and said lightly: "Brother Shao, if the water is not too dirty, you can soak your clothes in it and rub it."

Routa Chen directly said He shouted in a fuss, "My brother Shao, why did you get like this even when you were in the house? Fortunately, you were not outside, otherwise the scene would have been spectacular."

Nan Shao remained silent and ignored everyone, quickly Clean yourself up. But it had been too long since I had taken a shower, and the water in the basin was so dirty that I didn't want to take another look at it, so I had to give up the idea of ​​washing clothes. It seems that I can only find more clothes to change when I go out.

This morning, everyone ate rice that was semi-dry but not watery, and was served with pickled peppers and mustard. The portion was very generous. After all, there was no need to save money in the short term. Then the three people packed up, picked up their weapons and backpacks, and went out.

As soon as I closed the door, I saw someone coming down from upstairs. There were about five or six people, both men and women, all young and middle-aged, wearing very ordinary clothes. Most of them were shirts, T-shirts, jackets and trousers. There were a lot of stains on them and there was an obvious rancid smell, but these people had no smell at all. Ordinary people are timid, cautious, and full of sorrow, but their expressions look relaxed and full of confidence. When they saw the three of them, they smiled and said hello.

"People with super powers don't seem to be as defensive as ordinary people." After those people walked away, Zhang Yi whispered to Nan Shao and the other two. He had no previous experience of getting along with people with superpowers, and he didn't know much about their relationship. At this time, it seemed to be very similar to what it was before the end of the world.

"It's just the surface." Nan Shao said calmly. In the large base where he used to be, the competition among superpowers was particularly fierce. They competed for supplies, corpse crystals, status, and territory... It was much crazier than before the end of the world. In comparison, ordinary people are too tired to survive and don't care about anything else, so their relationships are much simpler.

The three of them chatted casually and soon left the town and arrived at the place to catch a ride. They saw Zheng Kun and his group in the car, and it was too late to get back, so they could only act as if nothing had happened and sat in the back. But obviously Zheng Kun's men had some impression of them. One of them walked up to Zheng Kun and whispered a few words in his ear. Zheng Kun turned back and glanced at them, his eyes only fixed on Nan Shao for two seconds. , then a disapproving smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he played with the gun in his hand and said something, so the subordinate returned to his seat and did not come to cause trouble.

"He said that we participated in the attack on Xiaodian Street the day before yesterday. He also said that Brother Yi has a relationship with Routa Chen. If we could escape, Routa Chen must have tipped off the news. He also said that Routa Chen is here with us." Nan Shao stared forward, his lips moved imperceptibly, and repeated what he heard in a very low voice. He found that his ears and eyes had become much more sensitive since he awakened his powers, and this change was especially obvious today, probably related to last night's practice.

Li Muran glanced at him in surprise. Although she could vaguely hear some sounds, she could not hear the content clearly.

"Zheng Kun said he would find an opportunity to kill us." Nan Shao continued, lowering his eyelashes to cover up the flash of murderous intent.

Zhang Yi leaned his head back on the seat and looked at the reinforced roof. When he heard this, he didn't even move his eyebrows. He just said, "We'll talk about it after we get down."

When the superhuman escort came up, they stopped talking. . After getting off the car, Zheng Kun took the lead to leave with his people, while Zhang Yi and the others lagged behind. They did not relax until they were sure that the two parties were not going in the same direction.

"It seems that I have to be more careful in the future." Zhang Yi frowned and felt a little irritable. Facing the threat of zombies every day is already exhausting, and now you have to be careful of being tricked all the time, which will not be fun for anyone who has your turn.

"They have guns. We can't guard against them, no matter how bright or secret they are." Nan Shao said calmly.

Zhang Yi heard the deep meaning in his words and turned to look at him. Li Muran still lowered his head, as if there was gold on the ground.

"Instead of having no peace day and night, it is better to strike first." Nan Shao's eyes fell on a certain point in front, and his words were extremely cold. He has always been like this. Anyone who dares to take advantage of him will definitely pay back double the amount.

Li Muran raised his head, but Zhang Yi didn't answer for a long time. Of course they know what the best solution is, but after struggling in the apocalypse for half a year, although they have seen many examples of cannibalism and have been killed themselves, they have never thought of killing someone with their own hands one day. Unfortunately, there are things you don't have to do just because you don't want to do them.

"It's enough to deal with Zheng Kun." When zombies began to appear in front of him, Zhang Yi finally spoke. He was still unwilling to get too much blood of the same kind on his hands.

"And the one who snitched." Nan Shao said calmly, rubbing his thumb twice on the sheath of the Tang Dao in his hand. He had never killed anyone, but he didn't mind setting a precedent.

Zhang Yi was silent and agreed.

Li Muran said, "Count me in." This matter also involved her, so she couldn't stay out of it.

Nan Shao looked at her with a smile on his lips: "Good girl!" After saying this, he whipped out his Tang Dao and took the lead to face the zombies that were rushing towards him.

>> Chapter 27 The mysterious young manThe avenue into the city has been cleared, and the vehicles that were once blocked on the road have been towed to the side of the road, leaving a passage in the middle for vehicles to enter and exit. But even people with super powers generally don't dare to drive directly into the county town, because no one dares to clean the roads in the county town. Driving in and being blocked is a dead end. The senior officials of Wangyang Town are planning to dredge the road inward until the entire county is finally opened. By then, many materials can be transported directly by car, and maybe the county can be recovered. Before that, those who could advance to the inner city would naturally get more good things. Therefore, those with some abilities set their sights on several major shopping malls in the center of the county. As for the better places around, they were all taken away. I have visited, but not many people care.

The place Nanshao and the three were going to was no longer on the edge of the county, but it wasn't too deep either. However, abandoned vehicles, wandering zombies and corpses could be seen on the road at any time. The shops and restaurants that appeared from time to time on both sides have been robbed, the tables and chairs have been overturned, and the glass shards reflect the sun's rays, as dazzling as diamonds.

Nan Shao took the lead, Zhang Yi was on the left, and Li Muran was on the right. The three of them moved forward step by step. When they saw zombies, as long as they were not too numerous, they would immediately kill them. Of course, it would not work if they did not kill, because then they would easily be surrounded and it would be difficult to look at the beginning and the end. But in this case, there will not be enough time to take the corpse crystal. After all, they do not have the ability of superpowers to kill and take it instantly.

"Advance to the community and then drag the body." Nan Shao said decisively. The Tang Dao in his hand became smoother and smoother, and he could easily cut off the zombie's head with one strike. He found that his physical strength was more than twice as good as before, and his skills were more flexible. He knew that this was the reason for the improvement in his powers, so he felt that even useless powers were still useful.

This was not the first time for Zhang Yi and Li Muran to face zombies. They understood what he meant as soon as they heard it. If no zombies from other places were attracted and gathered, then they would have enough time to drag the hacked zombies to any door of the community. In front of the unit, not only can the smell of the zombies be masked with their rotting stench, but the zombie crystals can also be easily obtained. Of course, if other zombies have been attracted, you can only give up the corpse crystal.

The three of them had worked together before, and now they showed a tacit understanding. In the silence, they saw swords flying and pickaxes flying, and soon they saw the first unit building. This kind of building is seven stories high, with red tiles on the surface. Security doors are installed at the stairwells of the units. They are all closed tightly, making it unclear whether anyone has been here.

The zombies wandering around the community heard the noise and gathered over. There were quite a few of them. Zhang Yi did not dare to delay any longer. He quickly took out the thin wire he carried and started to open the door. Li Muran stood guard next to him, and Nan Shao took advantage of this opportunity to open the door. Li Muran removed the heads of the zombies he killed relatively close and carried them in his hands. When he hit the third one, Zhang Yi had already opened the door, so they didn't waste any more time and stepped in one after another, slamming the door shut.

There was no sound of zombies in the corridor. The three of them went up to the first floor and saw that the doors on both sides were closed. Nan Shao threw the unloaded zombie head on the ground and smiled at Zhang Yi and said, "Although this Tang sword is It's useful, but it's a pity that I don't dare to carry the severed head with me because it will bite people." As he said this, he took Zhang Yi's machete and squatted down to take out the corpse crystal. It's not that he is too stingy and refuses to let go of a few zombies, but because his cultivation flower has more corpse crystals than others, so of course he wants to get more.

Zhang Yi knocked on the security door of the house on the left. After waiting for a moment, there was no sound from inside. He knocked twice more, still the same, then he bent down to open the door and answered Nan Shao: "It's not easy to get the corpse crystal." , Later we will find a way to let some zombies in, and then kill one and take one." As he spoke, the security door at the entrance of the corridor was banged by the zombies that gathered, but the door was very tight. It doesn't look like it will break in a short time.

"Okay." Nan Shao took the three corpse crystals in his hand and wiped them on the clothes of one of the zombies that looked relatively clean. As a result, he tore the clothes with a sizzle, and he frowned. : "If the sun continues like this, sooner or later, people will be exposed to the sun."

Regarding this topic, the other two people are not willing to talk about it, because if the facts really develop like this, they will have no choice but to move to find other places suitable for survival. However, now that there is no network communication, how do you know where to live?

When the door was opened, there was indeed no one or zombies inside, but it was filled with the stench of feces and urine. Apparently, when the end of the world came, this family would still survive, because there was a water and power outage in the county, so excrement piled up. . Although the room was messy, there was no blood, so it was likely that no one in the family had turned into a zombie.

The three of them searched and found that there was nothing edible left. As for clothes and other items, there were no clean ones and dirty ones were scattered everywhere. Finally, Zhang Yifan found some tools such as screwdrivers and wrenches and threw them into his backpack.

"Maybe it will be useful." Facing the questioning looks of the other two people, he said.

There were two zombies in the house opposite, an old woman and a child who looked to be three or four years old. When he saw the scene in the house, Zhang Yi closed his eyes and couldn't help but think of his mother and son. The hand holding the machete could not be swung out. Fortunately, Nan Shao pulled him to the side and avoided turning into a zombie. end.

"Why are you so dazed at this time!" Nan Shao was furious and quickly cut off the head of the old zombie with a knife. When he saw that the little zombie was solved by Li Muran, he yelled. For some reason, when he saw the old zombie's nails about to touch Zhang Yi, he felt that his whole scalp was going to explode, and he is still scared to this day.

"Sorry!" Zhang Yi raised his hand and wiped his face and said.

Seeing that he was still in a daze, Nan Shao was so angry that he kicked the door and entered the house. Li Muran pursed his lips and said, "Brother Yi, you actually made such a low-level mistake. If you die, no one will help you take care of Xiao Yangyang." After saying that, he also followed in.

Zhang Yi looked down at the black, rotting corpses of an old man and a young child lying on the ground. He closed his eyes, squatted down and knocked open their heads, took out the corpse crystal, and then dragged the corpses aside and laid them side by side. After doing all this, my throat felt extremely dry, but my eyes became colder and harder than before.

The family is in good condition, and most elderly people like to store food. There is still a lot of food left in the house. Apart from the spoiled and inedible food, they still collected some rice, noodles, mung beans, dry goods, pickles, and snacks for children. There are a lot of clothes and shoes for children, so Zhang Yi found some suitable for Zhang Ruiyang. Ling Ling Zong Zong, three people's backpacks took up most of them.

"My mother made a lot of kimchi and pickles. One day we will go there and bring them all back." Zhang Yi said when leaving the first floor. After leaving home, no matter how difficult his life was, he never thought about going home. Firstly, he couldn't carry anything alone, and secondly, he didn't want to get hurt again.

Seeing that he finally returned to normal, Nan Shao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. On the next two floors, I encountered seven zombies. Fortunately, they were separated, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with them. Unfortunately, most of them were young people. Apart from a few pieces of clothing, I didn't gain much. Even my bags were gone. Couldn't fill it up. No wonder no one patronizes this place. People with super powers don't even bother with this kind of harvest. As for ordinary people, the danger is greater than the harvest. Naturally, this place is not the best choice, otherwise it won't be Zhang Yi's turn.

When he arrived on the fourth floor, Zhang Yizheng was about to open the door on the left. The door on the right suddenly opened and a young man walked out. The three of them were startled and looked at him defensively.

The young man is extremely handsome, wearing a white shirt and jeans, with hair reaching his neck, a tall and slender figure, and looks very clean. He carried a small travel bag on his back and walked downstairs as if he hadn't seen the three of them. But after passing by Nan Shao, he stepped back and stretched out his fingers on Nan Shao's wrist holding the knife. With one flick, Nan Shao felt his wrist go numb, and the Tang Dao had fallen into the man's hand.

"This knife is pretty good. If you can't keep it, why don't you give it to me." He said a few words, and he climbed over the handrail of the stairs and landed lightly on the next floor. In a few seconds, the figure disappeared, but the voice was especially loud. The three of them echoed in their ears, not even asking for the scabbard.

His movements were so fast that the three of them had no time to react. After coming back to his senses, Nan Shao's face turned gloomy for a moment, but soon became expressionless and did not make any outbursts. After experiencing the renting incident, he has fully understood his situation and knows that if he is not strong enough, such things will happen frequently in the future, and anger will not help at all.

"Let's see if there are any usable weapons here first." After a moment, Zhang Yi spoke, but did not say any words of comfort. He is a man, so he naturally knows that any comforting words at this time will sound like ridicule to his ears, so he might as well think of a solution.

"Yeah." Nan Shao gave him face and responded.

The three of them walked into the open door and found the body of a female zombie lying on the ground inside. It looked like she had just been killed, and it must not have been more than two days old. There is a small hole in the middle of the zombie's eyebrows, and there are no scars elsewhere. They are obviously the first batch of mutations in the end of the world.

Zhang Yi squatted down and smashed the zombie's head open, but after digging for a long time, he couldn't take out the corpse crystal.

"The corpse crystal is gone." He looked up at the two people searching the house, and felt a chill in his heart. He never believed that it was because this zombie was special, so the only reason was that the corpse crystal had been taken away.

Nan Shao and Li Muran came over and rummaged through the dry and hard brains, but they couldn't find any milky white corpse crystals.

"What kind of superpower is this?" Li Muran took a breath and asked. You must know that even those with more powerful superpowers have to cut open the zombie's head to get the corpse crystal, but the speed is much faster than ordinary people. It is unheard of to just open a small hole and take away the corpse crystal. Of course, no one can answer this question. She looked at Nan Shao: "Brother Shao, I think it's not a bad thing for him to take the Tang Dao away, otherwise he might have killed us. Although this man is a bit domineering, he is not too big to us. Malice, otherwise the three of us together wouldn't be enough to kill him."

Nan Shao nodded slightly to show his understanding. Li Muran can think of this, and of course he can think of it, but as a man, it is extremely shameful to have a weapon taken away from someone's hand, no matter what the other party's intentions are. He couldn't let go of the matter until he took the Tang Dao back from that man's hand.

"He doesn't live here." It was impossible to study a zombie whose brains had been turned over twice for too long. Zhang Yi stood up, inspected the situation in the room, and made a conclusion.

Except for the guest bedroom, which showed signs of sleeping on it, the rest of the place was covered in dust. It was obvious that the young man was just staying here. Most of the things in the house were untouched, and there were still some rice noodles, convenience foods, plums, pickled peppers, chicken feet and other snacks, which could easily fill the backpacks of three people. Li Muran found a pack of women's underwear and several packs of sanitary napkins, and put them away. As for clothes, she didn't want any.

Nan Shao couldn't find any useful weapon, so he took a kitchen knife, but he also knew that the only purpose of this thing was to give himself some comfort.

"Let's look at other families..." Zhang Yi said. He actually felt a little guilty about Nan Shao because his poor thinking almost caused a disaster. It's just that it's too late to apologize, so it's better to find a way to make up for it.

"Those zombies are coming!" Li Muran suddenly pointed at the open door with wide eyes and shouted with a panicked look, interrupting him.

Zhang Yi and Nan Shao looked over and saw a zombie climbing slowly on the stairs. They were shocked and immediately guessed that the zombies were let in because of the young man's departure.

"Let's go to the rooftop!" Zhang Yi said without caring about anything else. After saying that, Nan Shao, who had no lethal weapons in his hands, ran to the front, Li Muran was second, and he was last.

Fortunately, the zombies moved slowly, and after running two floors, they were left behind. The road leading to the rooftop from the seventh floor was blocked by an iron gate. Zhang Yi walked over and opened the lock. After the three of them entered, he locked it again and breathed a sigh of relief.

After this run, Zhang Yi's legs began to hurt again, and he could only sit down and rest for a while. Although Li Muran had awakened his powers, his physical strength was still not as good as that of a normal man, and he lay down panting. Only Nan Shao walked around the rooftop to see if the iron doors in other corridors were locked, and then looked around to see what was going on downstairs.

"There are about fifty or sixty zombies downstairs, and there are zombies gathering elsewhere, but not many." He returned to sit down next to the two of them and said. "There may be dozens of people entering the corridor. If you want to escape, you can only evacuate through other corridors. But I suggest you practice killing zombies here." When he said this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a hint of "no" in it. The evil spirit coming out of him, it was obvious that the fact that his weapon was taken away made him finally no longer want to muddle along any longer.

Zhang Yi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement. As for Li Muran, as always, he had no objections. The three people quickly discussed countermeasures. Finally, before the zombies climbed up, Zhang Yi opened an iron door, but it was not the one they came up from, but the door of the last unit, so that they could leave quickly if they couldn't hold on. I believe that even if there are zombies climbing up there, there won't be too many and they can easily deal with them.

"The three of us take turns to rest, and we also take turns to use weapons." Zhang Yi glanced at the zombie who had already thrown himself on the iron door and salivated at them, and said. "Nan Shao, you come first." He said, turning the machete over in his hand and passing it the handle. His legs hurt at this time, so he couldn't do anything.

Nan Shao took it and walked towards the iron gate. He raised his right hand and the sword reflected the sunlight in a dazzling arc. The two claws extended by the zombie fell to the ground with two snaps, and then the blade passed through the iron railing. In the gap, from top to bottom, the zombie was split in half with a knife like firewood.

>> Chapter 28 Preparation

"Don't waste your energy." Zhang Yi knew that Nan Shao was feeling depressed and needed to vent, but he had to remind him, otherwise he would be in trouble when he ran out of energy.

Nan Shao didn't respond, but he obviously listened to his words. He calmed down a lot the next time he took action, his eyes were extremely calm, and the knife in his hand was focused on cutting the elbow joint. Just because the zombie's face was almost pressed against the iron door, the horizontal machete couldn't use enough force to cut off the head. In the end, it had to be chopped from top to bottom. It was only because of his awakened superpower and the two days of training that he was very strong that he could do this. If it were Zhang Yi, it would be impossible to split the hard skull with one knife. Even so, after killing six zombies, he softened his grip and stepped back.

Six corpses were piled up in front of the iron gate. They were trampled by the zombies coming up from behind and were pushed to the side. Li Muran held his pickaxe and walked around the door. Just as he was about to start, he suddenly found that the gap in the iron door was too small for the pickaxe to pass through. In desperation, he fell back again.

"Brother Yi, it would be nice if you brought your steel bars." She asked for the machete and sighed.

No one expected this, she just said it casually. He walked to the door with a machete, then imitated Nan Shao and chopped off the zombie's outstretched hand first, and then finally chopped it to the head. It's just that her strength is not as strong as Zhang Yi, and sometimes her aim is wrong, and she hits the iron railing, causing sparks to fly. It takes six or seven chops to kill a zombie, and she is already panting from exhaustion.

"It's terrible. You can practice your strength this way, but you don't have to cut with the machete." She walked back and threw the missing machete to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi shook his head with a wry smile, picked up the machete and was about to walk towards the iron gate, but was grabbed by Nan Shao: "Let's go, come back tomorrow." He was angry for a moment, then calmed down, and immediately thought of the consequences of this going on. .

Zhang Yi and Li Muran looked at each other with smiles in their eyes, knowing that he had finally sobered up from the anger of having his weapon taken away. Based on their current situation, it is of course better to leave immediately, otherwise the biggest possibility is to lose another weapon, which will add trouble to their evacuation.

Now that they had made the decision, the three of them ignored the piles of corpses huddled in front of the iron gate, picked up their bags and quickly left through the corridor that had been opened before. There were several white bones with separated bodies and heads lying in the corridor. They were obviously chopped down by the survivors of this unit when they left, but there were no living zombies. The three of them went down to the ground floor smoothly. After confirming that there were no zombies outside, they immediately opened the door and stepped out. Then, before the concentrated group of zombies on the other side of the building noticed them, they rushed into the narrow passage between the old house and the upstairs room next to them.

There was not much trouble on the way back. Zhang Yi and Li Muran would deal with the occasional zombies they encountered, with Nan Shao standing by to give them a kick or two. By the time we arrived at Wangyang Town, it was already past three in the afternoon. Not much had been done and all the time was wasted on the road. Most of the zombie crystals that were killed had no chance to be dug out. After counting, only fifteen were found. Excluding the fare and the town entrance tax once every three days, it's not even enough to pay one day's rent. On top of that, a good knife was lost.

The three of them were all a little depressed. If they hadn't gone to the hospital to get some medicine the day before yesterday, and then met a wealthy woman who made a huge fortune, and also discovered the supplies in the cave behind, they would have been starving and thirsty.

Back home, Zhang Ruiyang was on his hands and knees with his butt stuck out and he didn't know what he was playing, while Routa Chen was adjusting the radio they brought back. The rustling sound of electricity echoed in the house, mixed with Routa Chen's murmurs from time to time. Hearing the knock on the door, two people, one large and one small, looked up at the same time, and then showed surprise expressions at the same time. That interesting scene made the three people who were depressed couldn't help but feel better. No matter what, everyone was fine, and that was the most important thing.

"Dad!" Zhang Ruiyang got up and rushed over like a cannonball, but he couldn't tell clearly at the moment and hugged Nan Shao's thigh.

Nan Shao finally laughed, bent down and picked him up, and said, "Hey, little Yangyang is so good, come on, let daddy kiss him!" As he said that, he kissed the sweaty little face with a loud bang. .

"Yeah!" Zhang Ruiyang realized that he had called the wrong person, and immediately felt embarrassed. He shyly put his head into Nan Shao's arms, then got into his armpit, and finally got out from behind the armpit, After finding his father, he whispered for help: "Dad..."

Everyone laughed, sweeping away the previous haze. Zhang Yi reached out to take his son from Nan Shao's hand, kissed his forehead, and asked, "What are Yangyang playing at?" The gesture was so strange, he had never seen him so naughty before.

"Big tiger!" As soon as Zhang Ruiyang returned to his father's arms, he immediately returned to his usual appearance. While answering, he stretched his two little hands like tiger claws and clawed back and forth, and imitated a tiger's roar in his mouth.

It turned out that he was playing this. Zhang Yi was relieved, but then he thought that except for humans and microorganisms, other species seemed to have disappeared. Children born in the future would not know about tigers, but cats, dogs and other common animals before the end of the world. No chance to see it again. For a while, he lost the mood to continue asking, so that for a long time he didn't know that the tiger his son learned was based on the Five Animals play he picked up.

"I've been tuning in all day, but I haven't received a single channel." Routa Chen said frustratedly, looking at the three people who were putting down their backpacks to rest. If you can't receive the channel, you won't know the news from the outside world. It is difficult to support a tree alone, and without the help of other forces, Wangyang Town cannot survive for long in such a harsh environment.

After hearing this, the three of them were a little disappointed, but it was not too serious. After all, they didn't have much hope before.

"Where do the Pioneers live?" Nan Shao suddenly asked.

Routa Chen was stunned for a moment and didn't understand why he asked this, but he still answered honestly: "There are more than thirty people in the vanguard, so we rented a self-built house for local residents at the end of the town."

Nan Shao asked a few more questions and found out Zheng Kun's specific room and the situation of the vanguard's night watch. He nodded, got up and left to pick up a few machetes he brought back last time and sharpen them in the yard. At the same time, he found A strong wooden stick, ready to be whittled and attached as a handle.

"Brother Yi, what is Brother Shao?" Routa Chen felt that Nan Shao seemed colder and silent than the previous two days, and he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Li Muran had already gotten up to make dinner. They hadn't eaten at noon. It was not too early to cook at this time, not to mention there were things to do in the evening. Zhang Yi briefly talked about what happened in the car, and of course did not hide their intention to kill Zheng Kun.

"This son of a bitch Zheng Kun! It's a pity that my legs are not healed yet, otherwise I would have to kill that bastard with my own hands." After hearing this, Routa Chen cursed loudly, but he didn't expect that Zheng Kun would kill them all, not even his friends. Pass. At the same time, I felt a little guilty, thinking that I had brought disaster to Zhang Yi and the others. "Brother Yi, I..." No matter how much he apologized, it was of no use. He swallowed it before he could say it, but brought up another matter, "Brother Yi, Zheng Kun and the others had guns in their hands. They were in Xiaodian Street that day. In fact, the real target of the operation was the Public Security Bureau. A policeman in the team told Zhengkun County Bureau that they had just raided an arms smuggling gang before the end of the world and had confiscated a lot of guns and ammunition, but they had not yet had time to hand them over. Such big cases are rare in a small county like Ziyun County, but one of them was solved before the end of the world. Unfortunately, the end of the world has come before the merits can be rewarded. Knowing that these things are still in the old bureau There were not many people, and the people were so busy walking around that it was left idle for more than half a year.

"Approximately how many?" Because he had already guessed it, Zhang Yi did not show surprise, but asked.

"Ten pistols, and the rest are 95 automatic rifles. The exact number is unclear, but there should be hundreds. There are ten boxes of bullets. I don't see what the other two boxes are, but I think they are very likely to be grenades."

"I remember there seems to be a vice-captain in the vanguard?"

"Yes, the vice-captain's name is Wang Yuanwei. He's not bad."

"What's his relationship with Zheng Kun?" Before taking action, Zhang Yi naturally wanted to find out what happened if Zheng Kun died. What kind of consequences will it cause? Will there be a counterattack by the vanguard, so that we can prepare in advance.

"Zheng Kun is headstrong and evil-minded, and he monopolizes all the power in the team. Wang Yuanwei is just a decoration. But in fact, Wang Yuanwei is cheerful and tolerant, treats his teammates well, and has great skills. Privately, he is more popular than Zheng Kun. If it weren't for Pioneer The team was founded by Zheng Kun, and it was not his turn to take the captain's position. Wang Yuanwei usually kept a low profile and did not compete with him, so the vanguard team was not divided." Routa Chen replied while thinking. He was very serious, for fear that he would miss something and get Zhang Yi and the others killed.

"That means the relationship between the two is not good?" Zhang Yi grasped one point keenly, but he didn't know Wang Yuanwei, so he couldn't judge what kind of person he was.

"Yeah. Zheng Kun dislikes Wang Yuanwei very much, but he never finds a chance to kick him out of the team." Routa Chen nodded, and then shook his head, with regret in his eyes, obviously because Wang Yuanwei was not worth it.

"Zheng Kun is dead, it should be a natural thing for Wang Yuanwei to take the position of captain." Zhang Yi said thoughtfully.

"It's very possible." After hearing this, Routa Chen's eyes suddenly lit up. At that moment, he wished that his legs would be healed immediately so that he could participate in the operation to kill Zheng at night.

If Zheng Kun and Wang Yuanwei are really at odds with each other as Routa Chen said, then if Zheng Kun dies, Wang Yuanwei will definitely not go all out to avenge him after taking the position of captain. Of course, this is just a possibility, and the most ideal result for Zhang Yi is that Zheng Kun dies and the Vanguard is disbanded, so there is no need to worry about their revenge.

Zhang Yi would not think too optimistically about things, so this operation must be carefully planned, so that no one can find any clues, so that even if the other party wants to retaliate, they will not be able to find the target.

>> Chapter 25 Handling of MaterialsNan Shao and Zhang Yi buried the cave master's body some distance away from the cave. Then they carefully cleaned up the materials and found that the cave master was quite prepared.

There are fifty bags of twenty kilograms of rice, the same amount of flour, a hundred handfuls of five kilograms of dried noodles, some dry goods and vegetables, some canned fish, meat and fruits, fifty boxes of chocolate, candy, compressed biscuits and instant noodles, and some salt, soy sauce and peanut oil seasonings. , fifty barrels of bottled water, several sets of clothes for each season, dozens of underwear and socks, only two types of shoes, sports shoes and military boots, five pairs of each, five or six cotton-wool duvets, various toiletries, and lighting. Utensils, sealed with several commonly used medicines.

In the end, when the two left, they only took two canned fruits, five packs of mustard, a radio, a box of batteries, a razor and the Tang knife. They chopped two bundles of firewood in the mountains and hid the things inside and carried them. Up the mountain. Before leaving, I made some disguises for the cave so that it would be difficult to be discovered unless I was looking for it intentionally.

Back home, Li Muran and Routa Chen were still absorbing corpse crystals. Last time Nan Shao spent nearly a whole night absorbing a corpse crystal, I believe they both spent a lot of time. Yangyang, on the other hand, slept with his belly turned upside down and his arms stretched out, looking very uncomfortable. The two of them didn't bother them. Zhang Yi went to find a whetstone and started sharpening the machete they brought back the day before yesterday, while Nan Shao picked up a razor and cleaned the beard that hadn't been shaved for several days in the bathroom.

This was not the first time for Routa Chen to practice using corpse crystals. Although his abilities improved slowly, the speed of absorption was faster than that of Li Muran who absorbed it for the first time. When he opened his eyes full of energy, Zhang Yi and Nan Shao were chopping firewood in the yard, and Zhang Ruiyang followed them like a little tail, chattering without knowing what they were talking about. He looked at the roof and felt that he had not felt this peaceful and peaceful in a long time.

In the evening, I had crushed noodle soup with some crushed mustard in it. The reason why it is called broken noodle soup is because the noodles that Nan Shao and the others brought back were broken a lot, so they cooked them first when eating. This time it was Zhang Yi who cooked, and he made enough portions. The supplies in the back cave gave him confidence. At this time, having a full stomach and keeping everyone strong has become the most important thing. After the meal, everyone was given a piece of yellow peach.

When they saw the piece of yellow peach falling into the bowl, Li Muran and Rou Ta Chen were both dumbfounded.

"Brother Yi, isn't this too extravagant?" Routa Chen Qiqi said, but there was a rumble in his throat and he swallowed.

Zhang Yi motioned for them to start eating, and then slowly told the two of Houshan's findings. Originally, he and Nan Shao thought not to tell them first, so as not to make them slack off, but after discussion, they finally decided to tell them. After all, if so many things are not used, who knows what will happen in the future. Don't waste it in vain, and if it is used, it is impossible to hide it if everyone lives together. Instead of doubting each other in the future, it is better to say it clearly from the beginning. At the same time, you can also see everyone's personality clearly from this matter. By nature, it is also easy to make plans for the future.

"My dear..." Routa Chen shouted, his eyes filled with excitement. If it weren't for his legs being unable to walk, he would have run up the mountain to have a look.

Zhang Ruiyang thought he was being called, so he held a small piece of peach meat in his mouth and raised his head to look at Rou Ta Chen. However, after waiting for a long time, Rou Ta Chen kept calling him, but said nothing. Zhang Ruiyang had a confused look in his eyes. It took him a while to realize that the fat uncle was not calling him, so he lowered his head and treated the peach meat in the bowl with great care. He licked it for a long time, then took a small bite and put it in his mouth. Hold it in your mouth until it's tasteless before swallowing it.

"With so much supplies, we won't have to go out for a long time." Nan Shao gave half a piece of peach meat to Zhang Ruiyang, and finished the remaining half piece in one bite. When Zhang Yi finished speaking, he said something casually .

"There are more and more zombies, the land is poisonous and cannot be planted, the weather is dry and there is no rain... There is no guarantee that we can live a lifetime with that little thing." After the initial joy, Li Muran quickly regained his senses and heard Nan Shao couldn't help but frown, feeling that if everyone had such thoughts, she would rather not have discovered those things.

Routa Chen said nothing because he was not qualified to speak at all now.

"Xiao Chen, what do you think?" Zhang Yi did not let him go and directly named him.

Rou Ta Chen coughed dryly, rubbed his hands, and showed his usual flattering smile: "Brother Yi, Brother Shao, Sister Mu Ran, little darling Yangyang... You don't treat me, Rou Ta Chen, as an outsider. It's really disappointing. I am so moved that my life will be ruined from now on..."

"Stop talking nonsense," Zhang Yi scolded angrily.

Routa Chen chuckled, "Brother Yi, don't you see, I'm used to this." After saying this, his expression straightened up, and finally he no longer looked playful, "I still rely on all of you for help. Only then can I sit here, otherwise I might end up in the stomachs of those hungry men..."

After hearing this, Nan Shao couldn't help but think of the men surrounding him when he went to rescue him yesterday, and his stomach couldn't help but churn. Almost vomited. Only then did he realize the purpose of those people.

"Logically, there is no room for me to speak here, but since Brother Yi asked, let me tell you. Putting aside what Sister Muran said, if we don't go hunting for a long time, we will live better than those with super powers. Okay, this will definitely attract others' attention. I believe everyone can guess what will happen then."

Zhang Yi and Nan Shao looked at each other and smiled.

"Since you all say so, then how we were before will be what we will be in the future." Finally, Zhang Yi spoke. "The room is too hot to keep the food, so we'd better leave it in the cave and we'll go up to get it when needed." As he said that, he put the Tang Dao on the table, "Which of you will use this? We tried it, and it was pretty good."

"I'm used to using a pickaxe, and I can't use a knife, so you don't need to give it to me." Li Muran was the first to refuse. Although she knew how rare a sharp weapon was, she had finally mastered the pickaxe and was really unwilling to switch to a knife that she couldn't use at all.

"I don't want it." Routa Chen replied more simply. When he said this, his eyes lit up and he pointed at the big hammer weighing more than ten kilograms placed in the yard outside the house. "Give me that one, that one is suitable for me." With this size, he must be very majestic."

Zhang Yi looked at Nan Shao silently, and Nan Shao nodded: "Okay." He didn't think he had the strength to swing such a heavy hammer to kill many zombies. Well, if someone wants it now, that is naturally the best, and it will save him the trouble of using it as he wants and not waste it.

"I think the pickaxe is good. Brother Yi, your steel bar is not suitable for chopping. Why don't you change it to a Tang knife." Nan Shao continued. Another point he didn't say was that Zhang Yi has bad legs. Having a good weapon will improve his survival a lot. Rate.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yi shook his head and rejected his proposal, "I use the machete, and you use the Tang Dao. You are very skilled, and given time, you will be able to exert the maximum power of the Tang Dao. The stronger you are, the better our safety will be." Guaranteed. My legs are weak. No matter how powerful the weapon is in my hands, I can barely protect myself. I have no power to help others. The machete is enough." At this point, he paused and then added: "But. , I'm afraid it will be hard on you. "With greater ability comes greater responsibility. For a moment, he was suddenly not sure whether the other party was willing to take over.

Routa Chen, who originally wanted to persuade Zhang Yi, couldn't help but fall silent when he heard the words. Although he hopes that Brother Yi can get the best thing, he has to say that Zhang Yi's consideration is the most beneficial to the entire small team. Li Muran still maintained the good habit of not speaking if it had nothing to do with him. He lowered his head and slowly tasted the taste of the fruit that he had not seen for a long time.

"Okay, I'll use it." Nan Shao was silent for a long time, and finally agreed flatly.

Zhang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, with a faint smile on his face. He saw Nan Shao's ability in his eyes. Although he didn't know why the other party acted indifferent to everything, but just like this, even if Rou Ta Chen fully recovered, he would not be his opponent. Although the team is small, it needs a backbone so that everyone can unite their efforts. In this extraordinary period, powerful force trumps everything. He is not good, nor are Routa Chen and Li Muran. Only Nan Shao has a lot of room for improvement. He believed that Yinan Shao's vision would never abandon them and join other forces until his abilities were strong enough, and during this period of time, he believed that others would not stop growing either.

Nan Shao looked at the smile on Zhang Yi's face with complicated eyes. Of course he understood Zhang Yi's thoughts, but just because his life was saved by the other party, he was not prepared to refuse, even if he didn't want to take on such a responsibility at all.

After the matter was said, they dispersed. Nan Shao took a corpse crystal and wanted to absorb it, but suddenly remembered the black stone that Yang Yang had exchanged for a piece of biscuit the day before, so he took it out and showed it to Zhang Yirouta, Chen and Li Muran respectively, but they didn't Special feeling. If it weren't for the life fluctuation becoming more obvious after placing it in his palm, he would have almost thought it was his own illusion.

Could this be a seed? Once this idea arose, it could no longer be suppressed, but became stronger and stronger. He is an action person, so since he thought of it, he naturally wanted to try it. He immediately sat cross-legged in the corner of the room, began to concentrate, and mobilized his powers to try to activate it. But as soon as the superpower entered the black stone, he immediately felt something was wrong, as if there was a huge black hole inside. When the superpower fell into it, there was no sound at all, and there was no feeling like a radish or cabbage seed about to sprout. What chilled him the most was that as soon as the supernatural power entered the black stone, it escaped his control, and was sucked clean in the blink of an eye. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not get rid of the suction until there was no more strange power in his body. can exist.

When he opened his eyes, sweating profusely, he saw that the sun had not set yet, but it felt like a lifetime had passed. In the yard, Zhang Yi was practicing using a machete. Zhang Ruiyang was running and jumping behind Li Muchan, not knowing what he was doing. Only Routa Chen was lying on the other side, fearing to affect his practice, so he was as quiet as ever.

"Brother Shao, what's wrong with you?" As soon as he opened his eyes, Routa Chen immediately felt something. He looked over and saw that he was sweating profusely and his face was pale, so he couldn't help but ask with concern.

Nan Shao didn't even have the strength to speak at this time. He shook his head very slightly, picked up the corpse crystal lying by his legs, closed his eyes again and absorbed it. What made him relieved was that the superpower had not disappeared, and absorbing the corpse crystal this time was much smoother than the first time. After absorbing it, he could clearly feel the surging energy in his body, unlike the first time when he just felt energetic. Just full.

While thinking about the difference and the reasons, he slowly opened his eyes, and was immediately startled to see that Zhang Yi and others were surrounding him, staring at him unblinkingly.

"Uncle Pumpkin..." Zhang Ruiyang called out, as if he wanted to pounce on him, but as if he was worried about something, he climbed forward two steps hesitantly, then stopped again.

"What's wrong?" Nan Shao was confused by their reactions.

"Are you okay?" Zhang Yi asked, looking at his face carefully by the light of the candle.

"No." Nan Shao was even more confused.

Li Muran stood up and returned to the bedroom.

Chapter 29 Night Detective

Zhang Yi and Nan Shao didn't go out until it was completely dark. Originally, Li Muran also wanted to join, but they were stopped by the two of them. Some things are not always better when there are more people.

Since entering the apocalypse, although the sun is very bright during the day, at night the sky above our heads seems to be covered with a layer of black cotton wool, and it is so sultry that it looks like there will be a heavy rain before the apocalypse. Not to mention the moon, even the stars cannot be seen. To one o'clock. In order to save electricity, there were no street lights on the road, so when the two of them walked outside, they were engulfed in darkness. Only a few windows on both sides let out sparse light, guiding them in the direction, otherwise they might not be able to find the way.

According to what Routa Chen said, they soon found the house next to Zhenwei Highway. It was an ordinary self-built house for local residents. It was three stories high, with three rooms and a toilet on each floor. The corridors opened on the side and front of the house. It was still a bit cramped for more than thirty people to live in, not to mention that Zheng Kun only occupied one room. At this time, in the entire small building, only the main room in the middle of the first floor and the room in the middle of the second floor were lit. Noisy sounds came from the lobby, and it was obvious that many people were not sleeping yet. Because the town is not only defended by tall walls, but also has people with special powers who take turns keeping watch at night. The town can be said to be very safe, so the vanguard did not arrange for anyone to keep watch.

Nan Shao and Zhang Yi quietly sneaked behind the house. This kind of house also has windows at the back, so you can explore the situation inside the house from there.

It was a hot day, so the windows upstairs and downstairs were wide open. The light from the incandescent lamp leaked from the middle window, illuminating a large area behind the house. The back of the house was supposed to be a vegetable patch, but now it has turned into a dry wasteland, with a strong smell of urine floating in the air. It is obvious that although there are toilets, many people still prefer to live in the open air.

Nan Shao and Zhang Yi stood in the shadows on one side of the lighted window, observing the situation in the house through the open window.

The main room was very large, with two tables inside. People were surrounding the tables, shouting and playing cards. There were also a few people who lay directly on the ground with nothing underneath them, snoring loudly without being affected at all. After counting, there were seventeen people in total, and the total number of vanguards was thirty-three, which meant that there were still sixteen people in other rooms. After identifying the faces one by one and confirming that Zheng Kun was not among them, Zhang Yi communicated with Nan Shao with gestures for a few seconds, then squatted down slightly, paying attention to the situation in the window, while clasping his hands and ten fingers to help Nan Shao climb up. Second floor balcony. After Nan Shao was sure that it was temporarily safe, he grabbed Nan Shao's hand that was reaching down and quietly climbed up with a little help from his toes on the window sill on the first floor.

There are two large balconies in the middle of the second and third floors of the whole house, and Zheng Kun's room is on the second floor, which is the only room with lights on besides the main room. As soon as Zhang Yigang went up, he was pulled aside by Nan Shao, letting the curtains block their figures.

The door to the balcony from the room was open, and the curtains were only half drawn, so everything inside could be clearly seen.

Zheng Kun was in the room, not sleeping. He was sitting on a couch with his shirtless body and big underpants talking to a subordinate. On the other side, a woman with big curly hair and a long skirt was lazily leaning on the sofa. He was flipping through a magazine in his hand, with an extremely indifferent expression, as if he was indifferent to everything around him.

"There is another child?" Zheng Kun seemed a little surprised.

"Yes, someone saw him with his own eyes when they moved into the bridge building that day. He was about three or four years old." The subordinate responded affirmatively. At this point, he got addicted to cigarettes and coughed twice on the side of his face. Zhang Yi and Zhang Yi immediately recognized that he was the man who snitched to Zheng Kun in the car, and couldn't help but be wary of his words.

"Isn't the fat man's leg broken? Can they cure it? Or do you want to raise a pig and kill it to eat when there is no food?" Zheng Kun reached out and scratched his lower body through his pants and asked casually.

After hearing this, if Zhang Yi and Nan Shao didn't understand that the other party was talking about them, they would be stupider than pigs. So he turned sideways and held his breath, not daring to miss a word.

"The fat man has a good relationship with the man named Zhang. It is said that Zhang used to be a member of the Criminal Police Brigade, but now he is lame."

"A lame man is of little use." Zheng Kun waved his hands disapprovingly, "But you dare to follow me, Zheng Kun If you go against him, you must be prepared to die. Tomorrow you take two people to stay. When they leave, break the hands and feet of the fat man and the little boy and throw them into the slums. I want to see this time, and Who has the courage to save them? As for the other three people..."

Zhang Yi couldn't hear the next words. If Nan Shao hadn't hugged him tightly from behind and covered his mouth, he might have been unable to control himself. He rushed in full of anger. For Zhang Yi, he can be insulted no matter how he wants, but if he dares to take advantage of Yangyang, he will not make it easy for him even if he risks his life.

"Don't be impulsive, Brother Yi, I won't let him live until tomorrow. Yangyang is still waiting at home, and Yangyang is still waiting for you to go back..." Nan Shao was afraid that he would make a loud noise, which would disturb more than just everyone in the house. People in other rooms will also attract the attention of people in other rooms, so you quickly leaned over to comfort him in a very low voice, even saying Yangyang a few times, but still waiting for you to go back, with your body tense and full of great strength in your arms. Slowly relax.

Nan Shao was heartbroken. In fact, not to mention Zhang Yi, even he felt extremely angry when he heard the other party's words. He wanted to cut the people in the room into pieces. At the same time, he was secretly glad that they came tonight and didn't do it again. Delayed for two days.

"What? Feeling sorry for that damn fat man?" Zheng Kun's words reached the ears of the two of them again. Only then did they realize that the subordinate had left at some point, and only Zheng Kun and the woman were left in the room. This sentence was obviously right. The woman said.

"How many times have I told you, it was me who found Brother Chen! It was me who found Brother Chen! What does it have to do with him? Why do you have to kill them all?" The woman threw the magazine to the ground with a cold face. explain. She was very beautiful, and now her face was covered with a layer of frost, which made her look very charming. You don't need to think about it to know that she is the Bai Mei that Routa Chen talked about.

"Get angry with me?" A dangerous look appeared on Zheng Kun's face. He suddenly stood up from the couch, walked over in two or three steps, grabbed the woman's long hair, and sneered: "I just want everyone to know that if you dare If you touch my Zheng Kun woman, I will make him beg me to kill him. Don't you just think that the fat guy is a speed mutant? I will break his legs to see how he can speed up. Let him live like a maggot, anyone can step on him..."

"Abnormal!" Bai Mei cursed in disgust.

"I'm a pervert. Don't you like me because I'm perverted?" Zheng Kun smiled and suddenly pulled the woman's hair back, forcing her to look up, then lowered her head and bit her lips roughly. .

Zhang Yi calmed down at this time, and was about to exchange opinions with Nan Shao to see if he should seize the opportunity to take action, only to find that he was still being held by him. When two big men with almost the same height hugged each other like this, it was not only ridiculously hot, but also indescribably weird. He moved his body uncomfortably, and gently touched the chest of the person behind him with his elbow, signaling him to let go of him. However, at this moment, something crossed his crotch, and finally touched his waist and hip. between. That hard and hot feeling, as a man who even had a son, how could he not know what it was.

The atmosphere suddenly became strange. Zhang Yi didn't think much about it. He just thought that Nan Shao was a hot-blooded man after all, and he probably hadn't touched a woman for a long time. It was normal for him to react to the stimulation of the scenes in the room. But being pressed against a man's thing is embarrassing anyway. Nan Shao was obviously uncomfortable. Just as he was about to let go and step back, Bai Mei in the room actually broke away from Zheng Kun's violent kiss. Then he pointed to the balcony and said, "Oh, there is someone there."

The two of them . Zheng Kun and Zheng Kun were startled at the same time. Zheng Kun let go of Bai Mei, took out the pistol from under the pillow, and walked to the balcony. The two of them couldn't figure out how Bai Mei discovered them, but they couldn't confront Zheng Kun at this time, and they couldn't tolerate the slightest hesitation. Nan Shao stepped onto the balcony railing with one foot, and Zhang Yi held up the other foot. , climbed up to the third floor quietly, then hooked on the railing of the third floor, leaned down, grabbed Zhang Yi's hand with both hands, and pulled him up. At the same time, Zheng Kun also walked to the door of the balcony on the second floor.

"Where is he?" Zheng Kun's voice came from below, followed by the sound of his footsteps patrolling the balcony.

Zhang Yi and Nan Shao sat on the ground, leaning back against the wall, trying to slow down their breathing to avoid being noticed by the people below. As for the previous embarrassment, it has long been forgotten.

A woman's voice came from downstairs, but I couldn't hear it clearly because of the distance. But Zheng Kun cursed you bitch and walked in without asking anyone else to search. Obviously, this surprise was probably Bai Gong's prank rather than actually discovering Zhang Yi and the others. In the darkness, the two looked at each other, somewhat dumbfounded. At this moment, voices came from the room behind them, which made their hearts skip a beat because of their carelessness.

"Brother Wei, Zheng Kun seems to be looking for someone down there. Do you want to go out and have a look?"

A layer of cold sweat broke out on the backs of the two people hiding outside. They were preparing to take the risk of climbing to the roof. , and heard a deep man's voice reply: "No, it's Zheng Kun who is playing around with that woman, it's not our turn to do anything."

Zhang Yi and Nan Shao didn't dare to move anymore, planning to wait until the power went out before going down. . The room was quiet for a moment, and the previous voice sounded again: "Brother Wei, I feel uncomfortable. For a woman, he, Zheng Kun, made the fat man look like that. Everyone was a little chilled. The woman is good-looking, but She pretends to be fat, so what's the point of getting it?"

The man called Wei Ge didn't respond, but another person spoke.

"What do you think Bai Gong is? If she really likes Fatty, she won't talk about him all day long and cause him trouble. Now that she has been fucked by Zheng Kun for a few days, in addition to showing off in front of people all day long How could she tell that she was not happy with her cold princess attitude? Humph, with all his talent, why should he be so devoted to a beautiful woman? Isn't he just being treated as a stepping stone? As charming as he is, he deserves to be unlucky. If I were him, I would kill the couple first."

"Okay, let's go hunting tomorrow. Get some rest early." Something's wrong." Wei Ge finally spoke up and stopped them from continuing.

He was obviously very authoritative. As soon as he opened his mouth, the other two voices stopped. Except for the shouts coming from downstairs, the surroundings became extremely quiet. Not long after, the sound of snoring could be heard in the room.

Chapter 30 Kill Zheng

At the moment of the power outage, there was a commotion on the first floor. People who had good cards but no chance to play clamored to light candles to continue, and some people shouted to disperse. The two took this opportunity to roll over, and even if they made a slight sound when they landed, it was covered up. Besides, the two people in the room had already rolled together, so how could they notice this inconspicuous movement.

But without the light, everything around him fell into deep darkness. Even if Nan Shao's eyesight was better than before, he couldn't distinguish the surrounding objects in this situation. The two of them didn't expect this before, so they couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. But the matter has come to this, and it is no longer possible not to take action.

There were voices, coughs, and voices leaving the main room and going upstairs. The two were about to rush into the room when they heard footsteps going to the back of the house, and then the sound of running water. The two of them paused, thinking about going down from here later, and they suddenly became entangled. At the same time, Zheng Kun, who was halfway through the room, suddenly stood up, took out a candle from the bedside table, and flicked it twice before lighting it. Bai Gong said something unhappy to him, but quickly changed his mind. Became a moan. It turns out that this guy likes to work in bright places. Zhang Yi and Nan Shao looked at each other and quickly moved out of the light to avoid being seen by people peeing downstairs, but they couldn't hide their joy in their hearts. This is called Sleepy's coming and giving him a pillow. Zheng Kun is looking for death and can't blame them.

The sound of gurgling water finally stopped, and the man suddenly let out a sigh upstairs, then kicked his shoes and walked forward. Zhang Yi and Nan Shao were a little confused, but when they saw that the fighting in the room was at its most intense, they did not dare to delay any longer and rushed in. They carried machetes with them, and originally planned to use this to send Zheng Kun on his way, but when he saw the fruit knife on the TV cabinet in the bedroom, Nan Shao gestured to Zhang Yi and grabbed it.

Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what Nan Shao meant, nodded, and then followed. Just as the big bed was shaking faster and faster, Zheng Kun knelt up on the bed and put his two slender white legs on his shoulders. He thrust up his waist more frequently and gasped for breath. At the moment when he was about to reach the climax, Nan Shao seized this slight manipulation. In a fleeting moment, Zhang Yi rushed forward and covered his mouth. At the same time, he accurately stabbed his heart several times with the fruit knife in his hand. At the same time, Zhang Yi blocked Bai Mei's mouth with her clothes before she screamed in terror. .

Nan Shao is a person with super powers no matter what. His strength and speed exceed those of ordinary strong men. What's more, he picks the opponent when he is least prepared. If he misses like this, it can only be said that his luck is really bad. . But it seemed that their luck was not that bad. Zheng Kun, who was stabbed in the heart, did not struggle much before he died. His eyes were wide open because he refused to die, and he was obviously not even aware of what happened. clear.

"She killed Zheng Kun. She was afraid of being retaliated. She was desperate and committed suicide." Nan Shao probed Zheng Kun's neck vein and made sure it had stopped beating. He looked at Zheng Kun, who was looking at them with wide eyes in horror. Bai Gong, said lightly. Turning a blind eye to that beautiful and plump body that was not even covered with hair.

Zhang Yi didn't speak. He controlled the woman who was struggling even more because she understood what was about to happen. Fear and pleading appeared in her eyes. She watched indifferently as Nan Shao let go of Zheng Kun, pulled out the fruit knife, and shot out. He squeezed the blood into her resisting hand, clenched it without any doubt, and then stabbed decisively back into her left trembling breast. There was no emotion in his heart. How could he sympathize with those who harmed his son and friends.

"Let's go." Nan Shao wiped the blood off his hands on the sheets and said. The two of them discussed the gun they saw before, but still didn't take it. Once Zheng Kun's gun is lost, it will definitely arouse suspicion, and everything they have painstakingly arranged will be in vain. And without replenishing bullets, the usefulness of the gun is really limited. It is better to practice sword skills. As for Zheng Kun's subordinate who was originally planned to be killed together, now is not a good time, so he takes it easy first.

Zhang Yi took off the clothes that were covering the woman's mouth and threw them on the ground. He did not look at the two people who were stacked on top of each other and whose bodies were still connected. Instead, he used his anti-reconnaissance ability and carefully picked up the details left by the two people in the room. After the traces were erased, Shi Shiran and Nan Shao left. As for fingerprints, he is not afraid, after all, there is no condition to verify fingerprints now.

It can be believed that when the vanguard discovers the body of their captain tomorrow morning, rigor mortis has already formed. Faced with this pair of mandarin ducks who share the same destiny until death, I don't know what they will think.

When I got home in the dark, Yangyang had already gone to bed, but Li Muran and Routa Chen were still waiting nervously. After seeing them come back safely and knowing that they had indeed killed Zheng Kun, they relaxed and rested separately. Routa Chen couldn't help but feel itchy. If it wasn't too late, he would have grabbed the two of them and asked them about the whole process. However, Rao managed to restrain himself, but he kept tossing and turning, as if he had lice, and couldn't sleep no matter what.

Also unable to sleep like him were Nan Shao and Zhang Yi. The two of them had killed a lot of zombies, but this was their first time killing people. They were not afraid, just very uncomfortable. When they closed their eyes, they saw Zheng Kun and Bai Mei's eyes widening. But they know that sooner or later they will adapt, just like killing zombies, and slowly become numb. If that happens, perhaps the moral bottom line that still remains in their hearts will completely collapse. However, they have to do this because at this time, nothing can guarantee their life safety except themselves.

After lying there for a while, the two did not talk. Nan Shao took out the corpse crystal and started practicing, while Zhang Yi picked up the hatchet and walked to the yard and started swinging it silently, trying to find the most suitable chopping method for his body. They will not go out until they are sure that the vanguard will not have any more ideas about Routa Chen and Yangyang. It's still hot at night, but there's no harmful sunlight, so it's the best time to train.

Probably influenced by the two of them, Routa Chen and Li Muran, who were not very sleepy at first, also took corpse crystals and started practicing. They are so weak that anyone can step on them, which is really not a good feeling.

When she got up early the next day, Li Muran learned that she didn't have to go out, so she took Yangyang and started exercising, going up and down the mountain. When Yangyang couldn't run anymore, she went up the mountain with her pickaxe and machete. She wouldn't give up what she was used to. I have a pickaxe, but I also want to become proficient with the machete, so as not to be helpless when I don't have a pickaxe.

After breakfast, Zhang Yi went out for a trip and came back with a faint smile on his face.

"The captain of the vanguard was assassinated in bed by his lover, and the assassin committed suicide because he was afraid of retaliation. As soon as the captain died, civil strife broke out in the team, and several people died. Now the power is in the hands of Wang Yuanwei. They did not go hunting today, either. It should be cleaned up first." Having said this, he looked at Nan Shao, "The former vanguard captain's cronies were killed in the chaos, so there is no need for us to take action." The crony he was referring to was naturally the one who was always right. They are people with bad intentions.

It would be best if we no longer have to kill people. Nan Shao's face looked slightly relaxed.

Routa Chen was confused when he heard what he said. After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he took the opportunity to ask: "Lover? What lover? Brother Yi, what is going on? Didn't you kill Zheng Kun?" There was a faint feeling in his heart. Have a bad feeling.

Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he only told them the results last night, but not the process. Now they recounted the process in detail, including the conversations they overheard and the subsequent arrangements they made to frame the case.

Routa Chen was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and then he said something, lying on his back and staring blankly at the roof, obviously unable to bear the blow of the truth. He can't really say that he has deep feelings for Bai Mei, but being played around by a woman is something I believe no man would be able to accept. I could still deceive myself before, but not anymore.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Yi didn't comfort him and went out to train again with a machete. Nan Shao absorbed the corpse crystals all night, and now he reached his limit and could no longer continue, so he started to practice machete like him. In fact, Zhang Yi's skills are quite good, but he has one biggest weakness, which is that his right leg cannot be used too hard, and it will cause excruciating pain if he stands or runs for a long time. He knows that if his injured leg continues to limit him, the difference in strength between himself and the others will become larger and larger, and will eventually become a drag, so this problem must be solved.

During training, he began to carefully feel the force on his right leg when using a knife, and the impact of various postures on it. And when running, how can we achieve high speed while minimizing the pressure on injured legs? He kept groping until lunch time. Although he couldn't find a clue, he knew that his idea was not unfeasible. He had hope in his heart and his whole person looked full of fighting spirit. Even the other three were infected. .

Nan Shao didn't have such worries, so he was training on how to draw the sword the fastest and at the most appropriate angle without wasting any effort or time. He practiced chopping in the morning and exhausted all his strength. In the afternoon, he began to absorb corpse crystals. When the energy in his body was saturated, he jumped up and practiced sword skills again.

"Hurry up, hurry up." Seeing them working so hard, Routa Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis. He had no time to worry about his miserable feelings and kept mumbling to his legs.

Li Muran gave him liquid infusion for two days. After the injection was used up, he stopped and replaced it with oral anti-inflammatory medicine. It's probably because the superpower has a stronger body, but he didn't get infected, and the wound healed well, and the drainage strip has been removed. Because the leg bones are not damaged, judging from his recovery, the stitches will be removed in less than ten days. Maybe I can't exert too much strength, but I won't have any problem walking on my own.

Zhang Ruiyang was learning the crane trick from the book. He stood precariously on one leg, spread his hands to look like wings, and flapped happily. When he heard the words, he actually flew to Rou Ta Chen like a little bird, with his little fingers Rou Ta Chen gently tapped the wound covered with gauze, blew on it twice, and then said: "Get better soon. When you get better, fat uncle will be able to imitate Big Bear."

Rou Ta Chen's scalp felt numb for a while . , thinking of the weird posture in that book, I suddenly felt that it would be nice to lie down like this now.

The day passed quite quickly, until it got dark, and no one from the vanguard came to the door. The few people finally relaxed and knew that the other party had either not found out that they were responsible, or was not ready to avenge Zheng Kun. But even so, they still stayed at home for two more days, and only after making sure that the other party would really not cause trouble to them again, they went out to hunt corpses again.
