"Boss, how long will it take to reach Muling City?" They walked from the dim sky to the bright sun. Xu Fang looked up at the mottled sunlight in the shadow of the trees, sweat even dripping from his forehead, Finally couldn't help but ask.
"About three days." After
hearing this, Xu Fang's shoulders slumped. Although he was very excited when he first entered the forest, everything felt fresh and interesting, but after looking at it for more than ten days, there were trees and grass everywhere. Tired of it, now he can't wait to go to Muling City to see it.
"There is a stream ahead, let's rest and eat there." Shen Xiuze heard the sound of running water and walked towards it faster. Compared with everyone who looked tired, his mental state was very good? As a professional adventurer Or, he is very adaptable to any harsh environment. Now he is just walking in the forest, which is already very easy.
The lush forest is full of new spring green, and even the stones by the stream are covered with tender green moss.
We found a stone to sit down and rest. The gurgling stream brought a bit of coolness and soothed everyone's fatigue and anxiety.
Xu Fang looked at Lin An, who was sitting quietly on the stone. His sitting posture was very regular, not as carefree as the others. He had to lie down immediately, with his hands on his knees. The thick greenery behind him seemed to have become... ?Background board.
He suddenly noticed something and whispered to Ouyang Dong next to him: "Is my brother An's mysophobia cured? After getting out of the RV and walking, he seemed to be quite adaptable and didn't feel dirty at all. "There is no use in getting through the waterspout."
Although there is not as much dirt in the forest as in the city, there is a thick layer of rotten leaves, and sometimes you can feel a slippery feel when you step on it. Sticky feeling, as well as spider webs, animal feces, bug corpses, etc., are also often seen. According to Lin An's previous habits, he will deliberately avoid these, or use a waterspout to roll them up. Walk.
But I rarely do that during this time.
"Haven't you noticed yet?" Ouyang Dong looked at him and asked in surprise.
"What did you find?"
"Oh, look carefully?"
Xu Fang stared at Lin An's profile seriously, eyes widening and looking carefully.
Lin An, who was sitting there quietly, felt Xu Fang's fiery gaze. His eyes wandered around, his hands casually placed on his knees curled up, and then he turned at a slight and slow speed until his back was turned. other side.
Xu Fang: "I didn't see it, but Brother An is really good-looking."
Ouyang Dong reminded: "Don't just look at the face, look at the whole, the whole."
Xu Fang continued to stare. Looking at his back, although Lin An lowered his head, his back was straight. He was wearing a light blue coat today. The hazy blue seemed to make the whole person blurred, and the people in the background were. The woods appear more clearly.
Why does Brother An look a little weak? Ahem, no? Yes, it should be said that it seems to have been given a layer of soft light.
Xu Fang looked again and compared with others. Sure enough, only Lin An was like this.
"You see, Xiao An used his superpower to cover his whole body with a thin film of water, so he can walk freely in the forest. We have discovered it a long time ago, but you only thought of this problem today."
Xu Fang is not such a careful person. How could he pay attention to this? However, speaking of it, he did not find the water film because Lin An's control of supernatural powers has reached a very fine level.
Now that Lin An has self-awareness, he can no longer use water powers as he did before. In addition to water used in daily life, the only thing he uses is water film.
But it is very difficult to maintain that extremely thin water film without letting it break or become uneven in thickness.
Compared with those powerful ultimate moves, it tests the concentration and control precision of the superpower user.
But Lin An used it freely.
As both persons with special powers, Xu Fang and Ouyang Dong knew that such abilities were already several levels higher than theirs.
Ouyang Dong sighed: "We have to seize the time and work hard, we can't be a hindrance all the time."
Xu Fang nodded, looking at Lin An's back as if sparks were igniting: "I definitely won't do it. Lost to Brother An and the boss!"
Lin An: ...Okay, don't you want to see him again?
There are several boxes of pure water in Wu Duo's space, which she and her grandma hoarded when they went out to look for supplies at the beginning of the apocalypse.
She heard from her grandma that she would pass through a desert in the future, where water was the most important thing. Although they had Brother An's superpower, if the superpower ran out or other situations occurred, they would need her space. The water inside is gone.
At the same time, there were many empty bottles in her space. She had been carrying them with her before she met Lin An. She had never encountered a source of water on the road, so she had not taken out these bottles. It was not easy to encounter them. A small stream just fills these bottles.
The reason why Lin An was not asked to use the water power to fill these bottles was because he was not familiar with it at first and hesitated to open his mouth after becoming familiar with it. Lin An was dumbfounded at that time, and many times he was confused. I was immersed in cleaning myself, in a daze, and couldn't understand what I was saying.
Although she could understand it now, she felt that Lin An had to do too many things every day, such as taking care of Xiaofu, filling water bottles for everyone, adding water when eating and washing vegetables, etc. Identifying plants, having to use my powers to wrap myself up at any time, etc. These extra tasks are really too much to bother him anymore.
Squatting by the stream, Wu Duo took out an empty bottle and put it into the stream. The mouth of the bottle was bubbling.
Lin An saw it, stood up and kept wandering behind Wu Duo, holding his fingers and wanting to say something, but he didn't have the right intention to call the other person, so he could only struggle behind.
At this time, Xu Fang also walked to the stream and squatted there, holding a pool of cool stream water with both hands and preparing to drink it.
As soon as his mouth came to his hand, the stream in his hand moved away like a living thing.
Xu Fang: ...
Look at a large piece of empty space in his hand, showing an irregular shape of stream water. Xu Fang licked his lips and looked at Lin An: "Brother An, what are you doing?
" The water turned into this shape, no need to think too much, it must be Lin An's doing.
Lin An shook his head eagerly at him: "No? Drink."
"Ah? Is this water drinkable?" Xu Fang immediately sprinkled the water and shook off the remaining traces of water in his hand.
And Wu Duo also looked over.
Lin An pointed upstream and made gestures for a long time, but the more anxious he became, the more speechless he became.
Shen Xiuze originally planned to look for prey around him. When he saw Lin An's actions, he immediately strode over and said, "Is there anything upstream?" Although the
five senses of the superpower are very strong, Lin An, as a person, Only zombies have much stronger senses of smell and hearing than they do.
Lin An nodded immediately. He smelled a faint odor in the stream, and the odor was more obvious upstream.
Shen Xiuze looked upstream and said, "I'll go over and take a look. You guys stay here." "
Let's go there together. In case there is another zombie beast or zombie plant, it's just right for us to go together. " Practice." Ouyang Dong wiped the sweat from his head and walked over.
Finally, everyone walked upstream together. After walking about two hundred meters, they suddenly saw a person floating in the stream.
The gurgling stream was filled with smooth stones, and the man fell into the stream and was stopped by a stone, floating in the water.
Xu Fang saw it from a distance and immediately ran over to save people.
But soon he ran back again: "It's a zombie."
Because it was face down, all you could see in the distance was a person and his long hair rippling with the water.
As you get closer, the gray-black skin becomes very obvious.
"Brother An, your nose is really good. You can smell the smell of zombies from such a distance. Do you think if I drink water, will I be infected and turn into a zombie?"
Xu Fang came closer to observe and found that The opponent was wearing clothes made of linen. The clothes had long since become tattered, and the zombie's exposed skin had become soaked and swollen.
"Let's fish it out. Keeping it in the water is not the answer." The animals around the stream must still drink. If they drink too much, they will eat a few more zombie beasts. ?Oh no.
Shen Xiuze looked at the zombie that seemed to be dead, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it towards the zombie.
A small stone hit the zombie on the back? The next moment, the zombie suddenly raised its head and roared at everyone with a ferocious expression.
This sudden move scared everyone else present. Lin An shrank and shivered. Xiaofu was so frightened that he stepped back and screamed at the zombies.
Xu Fang was closest to the zombie, and when he saw the swollen gray-black face at close range, his heart stopped for a moment.
"I'm scared to death. It's so sudden."
"This zombie didn't cut off its head, so it must still be alive." "
Then why was it lying in the water before? Not moving, pretending to be dead?"
"Maybe it was. Just wait and see, aren't we here?"
"Indeed."
While several people were talking, the zombies had crawled out of the stream and stumbled towards them.
Shen Xiuze was about to raise his hand to solve the problem, but was stopped by Ouyang Dong: "I'll do it, let everyone see my ultimate move." He stood there
, staring at the zombie. The fine moss under the feet suddenly accelerated, like thin ropes binding the feet of the zombies.
The slow-moving zombie tripped, and then Ouyang Dong took out the thorn seeds from his pocket and threw them at the zombies. As the seeds were thrown out, they grew rapidly and turned into thorns. The zombies were tied up and the more they struggled, the more blood stains they would get from the thorns on their bodies.
Ouyang Dong, who possesses plant-type powers, is at home in this forest. He collects various plant seeds and seedlings whenever he has time, and now he has accumulated a lot.
Wu Shuangxue nodded. Ouyang Dong can now activate powers from a distance. Although the number of plants he controls is not large, the effect is very good. After that, if he finds a few plants with strong attack power, he can use them in battle. ?Exhibit great strength.
The zombie looked up at the crowd and made bite movements. The swollen face looked miserable, but Shen Xiuze's attention was on the zombie's clothes.
Those clothes should be the clothes of Muling City, so this is a resident of Muling City?
But here? It takes several days to walk from Muling City. Why are zombies wandering around here?
No other traces were found around, so they finally disposed of the zombie and continued on the road. However, the probability of encountering zombies became higher and higher along the way.
The second zombie appeared while they were having dinner, and the third one only appeared at night while they were sleeping.
The number that appears each time is very small, and the clothing styles of these zombies are all very similar, and they are all the clothes of Muling City.
Zombies from Muling City appeared so far away. Everyone felt that the closer they got, the more zombies they would encounter.
Sure enough, more and more zombies were encountered after that.
From one at the beginning, to two or three later, and even in groups.
Every time these zombies appear, Xu Fang, Ouyang Dong and Wu Duo will actively kill them, as if they have returned to the days after coming out of Chuxi City?
Lin An also wanted to kill zombies. Before, he could use the waterspout to sweep away the zombies. Now it is difficult to use it in the forest. After all, there are flowers, trees and flowers everywhere, and there are too many obstructions.
In addition, he didn't know how to kill the zombies. He could only give the zombies a bucket bath with his water power, and he couldn't cut them down with a knife made by Shen Xiuze.
Lin An has a gentle personality, and he turned into a zombie in the early days of the apocalypse. He has never experienced Shen Xiuze and the others fighting zombies every day. Sometimes he will subconsciously look back when faced with zombies that are too dirty. run.
At this time, Xiaofu will closely follow his owner and run with him.
However, the zombies I encountered in the past two days were all ordinary zombies. They were not interested in Lin An, who was of the same kind. Sometimes they just chased the dog that was close to Lin An.
Wu Duo became more and more proficient in killing zombies. When he found a zombie chasing Lin An, he immediately went up and chopped off the zombie's head with a knife.
"Are you okay?" Udo asked.
Lin An saw that Wu Duo, who was only fourteen years old, could be so brave, but he still ran away. It was really embarrassing. He was so courageous and useless.
"I'm sorry." Lin An apologized to Wu Duo in a quiet voice.
"Ah? Why do you have to say sorry?"
"I'm too useless to kill zombies." Lin An looked frustrated.
"What's the point? I didn't dare to kill zombies in the beginning. It was all developed slowly through training. Brother An, you have just recovered. If you want to chop off someone's head, you must still have a mental disorder." Wu Duo looked like he had come from the past. He enlightened him, "Besides, we can handle these ordinary zombies with just a few of us. Just go and rest."
Wu Shuangxue and Shen Xiuze did not participate in the battle, but just watched them from the sidelines.
Lin An pursed his lips and nodded, then walked near Shen Xiuze.
Although he was comforted, Lin An still felt useless, standing there with slumped shoulders, and the whole zombie exuded an aura of depression.
