Chapter 76
The sky gradually darkened, and the cold wind was blowing.
Gu Lan has been looking in the direction of City N with her binoculars for almost half an hour, and she didn't say a word during that time.
Jiang Qing had already calmed down after arguing with the gray bird for a while, and had already walked away to check around.
It was very cold, about ten degrees below zero, and Xiaohan had already had his hands and feet numb from the cold. He had already wrapped his body in thermal underwear, sweater, down jacket and so on. And Jiang Qing and Gu Lan only wore two thin clothes for the convenience of movement, but looking at them now, it seems that they are not cold at all.
After a while, Gu Lan finally put down the binoculars and jumped off the roof, then she looked at Xiaohan and said, "I'll stay here tonight." "Okay,
I'll clean up the other rooms too." Xiaohan After agreeing, he hurriedly ran to other dilapidated iron houses.
This is the suburb in the southwest of City N. Gu Lan and the others chose to stay at a flour mill. However, this place has long been patronized by countless survivors, and apart from those machines, there is no food left.
After following Gu Lan and the others for ten days, Xiaohan's combat power has improved a lot after being extremely uncomfortable at the beginning, and he can barely keep up with the team. It is no problem for Xiaohan to deal with more than a dozen junior zombies by himself.
After Xiao Han left, Jiang Qing suddenly appeared: "I, go in first and have a look." His brows were tightly frowned, as if he had nothing to say.
Gu Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, knowing that Jiang Qing was talking about City N. In her impression, Jiang Qing always had something to say, or most of the time he had no other needs at all other than asking Gu Lan to help him remove the toxins in his body, let alone have any thoughts of his own. But now, he obviously has his own ideas.
Since he didn't want to say it, Gu Lan didn't ask, but nodded, which means he agreed.
After watching Gu Lan enter the room, Jiang Qing turned around and left.
"Ah, master, you really don't care what this damn guy is doing?" Bai Lu landed on Gu Lan's lap, chattering there through her spiritual sense.
"Didn't you always want to get rid of him, why are you so concerned now?" Gu Lan snorted coldly, and after glancing at Bai Lu, she took out two bundles of vegetables and some rice noodles, and waited for Xiao Han to cook later.
"Uh, it is necessary to get rid of him. There are so many zombies in the place ahead, and this guy is probably needed to be the vanguard, so let's get rid of him after passing through City N!" Bai Lu said with a grin. He turned his back and stuffed two crystal nuclei into his mouth while Gu Lan didn't see it. Get rid of him? Gu Lan frowned slightly, she knew what Bai Lu was thinking, she was just afraid that she would think it was useless and not want it, just to compete with Jiang Qing for favor, but some things she said were very reasonable. For example, Bai Lu was right when she said that she couldn't keep carrying this zombie that she was getting more and more out of control! Because Jiang Qing's IQ is getting higher and higher, now he has his own ideas, and he is advancing faster and faster, but her cultivation is progressing slowly. It has been two months in this world before she practiced At the sixth level of qi, it has been a long time since she was able to build the foundation. You must know that in the former cultivation world, she built the foundation in three months. And with Jiang Qing by his side, she walked so smoothly and smoothly that she didn't encounter any danger at all. The larger group of zombies was controlled by him to disperse early, and occasionally she encountered one or two mutant animals. It's not enough for him to kill himself. She basically hasn't made a move in the past ten days. If this continues, she will only become weaker and weaker! "Sister Gu Lan, I've checked it once, and it's safe here." Xiaohan ran in, her face flushed from the cold. "Let's make dinner, we'll leave after eating." Gu Lan said lightly, then sat down cross-legged, suppressed the chaotic emotions in her heart, and forced herself to enter the state of cultivation. "Ah...will you leave in a while..." Xiaohan stammered a bit, but seeing Gu Lan's eyes closed, he could only swallow the words in his throat.
He took a bunch of ingredients prepared by Gu Lan, took them aside and began to process them, but until he finished the food, Gu Lan had no intention of speaking, and Brother Jiang Qing was nowhere to be seen. It's completely dark outside, let alone starting out at this time, even going out for a stroll is very likely to kill you, let alone crossing such a big city. Xiao Han scratched his head, only wishing that he had heard wrong just now.
However, Gu Lan opened his eyes the next moment, and after taking a light look at him, he said coldly: "You still have a quarter of an hour to eat." Xiaohan nodded, and finally asked loudly: "
Gu Lan Sister, it's already dark, if we set off now, can we go to City N at night, at night?"
Gu Lan glanced at him coldly, did not make a sound, but picked up her rice bowl and began to eat.
Seeing that Gu Lan didn't speak, Xiaohan could only eat quickly. Based on his understanding of Gu Lan, he knew that Gu Lan was a man of one word. If he talked for a quarter of an hour, she would really leave after a quarter of an hour. wait for him.
In a quarter of an hour.
Xiao Han was carrying a big backpack, and followed Gu Lan in the direction of City N.
The dark shadowy high-rise buildings in front of them are like monsters with huge mouths, just waiting for them to throw themselves into the net. Xiaohan really thinks that Gu Lan is crazy, why is this good guy suddenly going to set off at night, and not waiting for that Jiang Qing, obviously that big brother Jiang Qing is so powerful, even if he is in a hurry, the chances of the three of them surviving together Also bigger!
Just when Xiao Han was thinking of something to do, suddenly there was a "poof", a puddle of sticky stuff splashed onto his face.
"Next time, I won't save you!" Gu Lan's icy voice came, and Xiao Han shivered violently, before kicking the mutated cat that was beheaded by Gu Lan's sword to the distance . Just now, he didn't find anything just now, if it wasn't for Gu Lan, he, he would have died!
He has just entered the edge of the city, and he has already walked around the edge of the gate of hell, and crossing N city, even if it is a straight-line distance, only counting the route they planned from the beginning that can directly go around to the expressway , but also more than ten kilometers.
During the day, it would take about seven or eight hours to walk the ten kilometers, and at night, it would be even more difficult to walk.
However, Xiaohan didn't dare to be distracted anymore, he restrained his mind, held a dagger tightly, and concentrated his mental power to a high degree, otherwise, next time, maybe Gu Lan would really not save him again!
In the dark night, the air is full of the rotten smell of zombies, the surrounding is a bit abnormally quiet, and in the distance, the looming roar of zombies and some strange sounds float over and disappear suddenly from time to time, some plastic bags Old newspapers and old newspapers were blown by the wind and made a rustling sound, and occasionally they would be smeared directly on the face if they were not paying attention.
After just walking for about ten minutes, Xiaohan's body was already covered in cold sweat, and he was frightened several times by those plastic bags.
Gu Lan in the front, if it wasn't for Xiaohan who could still see her, she would have thought that Gu Lan had left him and left by herself, she was so quiet that she couldn't hear her breathing and footsteps, the only thing she could hear most clearly was him walking by himself The slight rustle and the pounding of his heart.
Suddenly, "Crack", Xiaohan seemed to have stepped on a soda can, and the sound made when the soda can was crushed made him froze, because the sound was too loud in the middle of the night, and he was afraid that it would be heard Far away, it is estimated that the zombies will be alarmed!
As soon as she thought this way, Gu Lan suddenly said coldly: "Get down!"
Xiaohan dared not hesitate for Gu Lan's order, because Gu Lan had saved her at critical moments several times in the previous ten days. He lay on the ground almost at the moment when Gu Lan's words sounded, a gust of wind rushed past his head, followed by several loud bangs of "bang bang bang". Only then did Xiao Han dare to look up.
It's okay if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, you will be frightened and dumbfounded. There are dense scarlet everywhere, looking like the eyes of some mutated animal, and the number may be as many as one or two hundred.
"Take care of your own life!" Gu Lan said coldly, and then she rushed out, the sound of bang bang bang was endless, it was Gu Lan killing those monsters.
Xiaohan also discovered at this time, this is a group of mutant mice!
In fact, he should have thought about it a long time ago. This city is so big, not only is there a lot of zombies, but also those snakes, insects, rats and ants living in the gutter. Will be infected, this group is probably just the most inconspicuous group of countless mutated animals, right?
But even so, if he meets him alone, there will be no bones left that will be gnawed in the blink of an eye!
Fortunately, those mutated animals seemed to be particularly interested in Gu Lan. They rushed towards Gu Lan in a swarm, and only a dozen of them rushed to Xiaohan's side. He rounded his backpack in a panic and smashed it back and forth. The dusty little bird on the road also helped kill a few of them, and it turned out to be able to protect himself for the time being without any danger.
As for Gu Lan, it was very uncomfortable. Ever since she stepped into this city, she had always had a feeling of being stared at. She thought it was the mutant cat before, but after killing that cat, she felt this feeling all the time. It hasn't disappeared, including now, this feeling still exists all the time.
But even so, she doesn't regret it, ever since she made up her mind to rely on her own strength to cross City n, she has already thought about all possible things that might happen, even the worst possibility!
