"What, why did it suddenly explode?" Xu Fang was startled and his mouth became bald.
Shen Xiuze snatched the meteorite that Lin An had already held in his hand: "Don't eat it yet. Wait until we get to Baize City and study it."
Lin An stared at the snatched meteorite with tears in his eyes: "But , but I already ate it last time."
There was no problem last time!
"Don't take chances. It might have been an accident last time. Your body happened to be short of energy, so you ate meteorites to replenish the missing energy. It didn't explode due to excess energy. It's also possible that the composition of each meteorite is different. In short, it can't be Eat." Shen Xiuze was not swayed by Lin An's aggrieved expression.
Others also advised him one by one. If Lin An ate a meteorite and it really exploded, then where would they cry?
Lin An reluctantly watched the meteorite being handed to Wu Duo by Shen Xiuze, and then put into the space, and its breath disappeared immediately.
He knew that everyone was doing it for his own good, but when he saw the meteorite, he was like a hungry man who saw roast chicken. Although he knew that eating roast chicken would cause diarrhea, when he was hungry, he wanted to take a few bites even if he had diarrhea. .
Shen Xiuze couldn't bear it, but he wouldn't take risks.
Lin An was depressed all morning because of this matter. After a few people finally discussed it, after they left the Eye of the Desert, they temporarily gave Lin An the meteorite as big as his head.
Not letting him eat, just letting him hold.
Lin An would need to bite such a big meteorite for a long time if he wanted to eat it, so they would stay nearby. Once Lin An couldn't control himself and wanted to bite, the meteorite would be taken away and put back into the space.
Therefore, Lin An had to restrain himself if he wanted to hold the meteorite all the time.
The energy escaping from the meteorite is good for both zombies and superpowers, so that everyone's superpowers can also be improved.
Lin An agreed. Since he couldn't eat it, holding it and taking a look at it would satisfy his craving.
The hungry little zombies can only boulder to satisfy their hunger.
The next day, all the weapons were put into Udo's space, and they packed their luggage and prepared to set off.
It was still a cloudless day today, and the temperature was slowly rising. Lu Li, wearing a mask, stood there indifferently.
Ouyang Dong glanced at him again and again. He already felt hot, but when he saw Lu Li in full armor, he felt even hotter. What was wrong with him? He was dressed like this on a hot day, so he wasn't afraid of getting prickly heat.
When everyone got in the car, Shen Xiuze looked out the window and said coldly: "Let's go, no need to send you off."
"I'm not sending you off." Lu Li's dull voice came from under the mask, and he was beaten by Shen Xiuze again. And it was specifically aimed at the face, so he finally understood. This guy Shen Xiuze is just pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. What kind of A-level superpowers? What A-level superpowers beat S-level superpowers every day until they are unable to fight back.
He suspected that this guy did it on purpose and deliberately said that he was Class A just to beat him up.
Must be jealous of his looks!
His smoky gray eyes glared at Shen Xiuze several times angrily, and then looked at Lin An, who was sitting in the back row. His eyes instantly softened. Shen Xiuze had been so defensive these days that he failed to find a chance to talk to him. Lin An talks again.
He asked his teammates about the situation at that time, and he was sure that the person he saw was Lin An, but he came too late. How could this guy Shen Xiuze be so lucky? Except for his height, everything was a little bit stronger than him.
He was a little sad that his budding love had died before he could even express it. Although the window was only opened a crack, he knew that Lin An inside could hear him.
"Lin An, actually Desert Eye is very good. The people here are as warm and hospitable as me. If you want to stay..." Before he could finish his words
, the off-road vehicle suddenly kicked the accelerator and rushed out, filling the sky with sand. Dust flew up towards Lu Li.
Lu Li: ...Despicable Shen Xiuze.
Looking at the dust rising from the rear of the car getting further and further away, Luo Yuan, who was standing behind Lu Li, looked at the captain hesitantly. He had discovered something in the past few days, but because his captain had a good relationship with Shen Xiuze, it was difficult to say anything. .
"Captain, I've noticed that Lin An of Shen Xiuze's team is not normal these days."
The only person in the team who knows Lu Li's true nature is Luo Yuan. Lu Li no longer pretends to be in front of him, but his sense of alienation is especially noticeable in front of his teammates. Neng Zhong: "Why is it abnormal?"
He thinks it is normal. There are no other shortcomings except bad eyesight.
Luo Yuan had a solemn look on his face. At first, he felt that Lin An was out of place in the team, timid and timid, but it was only in Dune Town that he realized that he was very capable. Luo Yuan even felt that if the captain and Lin An fought, the captain might not be able to win.
So after leaving Dune Town, he had been observing Lin An and discovered many problems.
"He never eats or drinks water, and I saw his eyes before... they were red."
This is the eye color that only zombies have, and his various behaviors and abnormalities are very similar to zombies. If it weren't for the fact that Lin An had always been very calm and stayed in the tent most of the time, and even if he came out, he would always follow Shen Xiuze, he would have taken action earlier.
"So what." Lu Li looked indifferently, with a disapproving expression.
"Captain, can't you see? He might be a zombie." Luo Yuan didn't believe that the captain didn't notice anything.
Lu Li raised his head, his smoky gray eyes calm and firm: "Luo Yuan, before zombies lose their minds, they are also human beings. They are our compatriots, parents and brothers. They do not become zombies voluntarily. The same goes for Lin An, he is No one has eaten anyone in the base. To me, he is our companion, no different from us. What's more, he saved everyone's lives. I am very grateful for their coming." How could
Lu Li not know that after knowing that After the individual is Lin An, those crimson eyes have already shown the other person's abnormality. He has reason and memory. He can control himself not to eat people, can save people in dangerous moments, can rely on his teammates, and can be afraid of others. What is the difference between a zombie like this who is timid and has a very lively dog?
Luo Yuan also knew this in his heart, so after discovering Lin An's identity, he never told anyone else.
"Go back. If they hadn't passed by here, the Zombie King and the special zombies would have attacked the Eye of the Desert one day. No one would be able to survive by then. Don't mention Lin An's matter again, and don't tell anyone else." Lu Li finally said He glanced at the direction they were leaving and turned around to leave.
He seemed to have returned to the strategizing, decisive and calm captain. Perhaps it was only in front of Shen Xiuze and his group that he would relax and stop thinking about his responsibilities.
Luo Yuan hummed and followed the captain towards the Desert Eye. That was their home and the place they wanted to protect. Even though most of the zombie crisis has been resolved, they still have a lot to do in the future. If we want to return to the living standards we had more than a year ago, we still need to work together.
"Luo Yuan, I feel a little uncomfortable."
"What's wrong, captain? Is the injury still not healed?"
"You know, I'm broken in love."
"Captain, haven't you always been single?"
"...Forget it, go back. ."
"Oh."
Lin An sat in the car, happily holding the meteorite as big as his head, his eyes narrowed in comfort.
To his left and right were Wu Duo and Grandma Wu, who were watching eagerly. In the front seat of the car was Shen Xiuze, who was constantly supervising from behind, completely eliminating the possibility of Lin An stealing food.
Being stared closely at by three pairs of eyes, even Lin An, who was super happy holding the meteorite, felt a little uncomfortable. However, the temptation of the meteorite was too great and outweighed the social fear. He lowered his head and closed his eyes while holding the meteorite, pretending not to notice. Everyone's sight.
There were always zombies attracted by meteorites along the way, and there were a lot of them in total. They were all solved by Xu Fang and Ouyang Dong in another car.
Afterwards, we passed through a no-man's land, and the zombies were almost extinct.
Lin An could hold the meteorite all day long, but his arms were a little tired. He didn't have much strength. Holding such a big stone would probably have paralyzed him if he wasn't sitting in the car.
Grandma Wu thoughtfully found a piece of cloth from the space and sewed a strap for him to tie in front of him so that he could hold it without using his hands.
Shen Xiuze always felt that he had seen the style of that strap somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.
"Hahaha, when I was taking care of my children more than ten years ago, I used a sling that I sewed myself. It was similar to this style." Grandma Wu looked at Lin An who tied the stone in front of her body. She did look a bit like a child-rearing child. The dad immediately burst into laughter.
When I took care of the children more than ten years ago, wasn't she the one who took care of them? Udo was speechless.
Shen Xiuze couldn't help but look back many times, and the car drove into a pit: no wonder, he said it looked familiar.
Lin An: "..."
Lin An blushed at the teasing, but even after being teased like this, he still did not put down the meteorite.
After driving for three days, they finally arrived at the canyon Lu Li mentioned before.
To say it is a canyon, it is more like the earth is split in two. The gap in the middle cannot be seen from south to north, and the bottom of the canyon is bottomless.
This gap is about ten meters long and cannot be passed without a stone bridge.
But that's just for ordinary people.
Before anyone else could take action, Lin An stood on the edge of the cliff holding the meteorite, and an ice bridge stretched from his feet to the other side.
The ice bridge is very wide, allowing two vehicles to drive side by side, and its thickness has been increased so that it will never collapse halfway. There are even thoughtfully cast fences on both sides, making it look very luxurious.
"Have Brother An's powers become more powerful again?" Xu Fang looked at the extremely strong and delicate ice bridge. He was able to make such a structure in just one minute. It was much better than before when he could only use ice cubes. It's much more powerful when you look at it.
It's probably the energy of that meteorite.
Even if they can't enter, the energy escaping from the meteorite can promote their superpowers. In this way, everyone's strength will be improved, and the chance of surviving danger will be higher.
Grandma Wu looked at the ice bridge with a smile: "Everyone should wear thicker clothes after crossing the bridge, the weather will get colder and colder."
Xu Fang looked up at the still hot sun above his head. Isn't it August now? How cold can it get?
The two vehicles drove onto the ice bridge one after the other, and the ice bridge was indeed very load-bearing and passed through the canyon smoothly.
Xu Fang sat in the passenger seat and chatted with Ouyang Dong who was driving: "Has Grandma Wu recovered from her illness? I think she is more energetic than before in the past two days. She is just as energetic as she was when she first left Chuxi City. It's incredible."
Ouyang Dong concentrated on driving. The stone bridge was very strong, but if someone slipped and fell from the ice bridge, it would be a big joke.
After crossing the ice bridge, he replied with a "hmm".
In fact, he always felt uneasy in his heart. Alzheimer's disease would not heal on its own. Even before Shen Xiuze said that Baize City had a special medicine, there had been no good treatment for this disease, and the number of people suffering from the disease would only increase. The more serious it is.
Grandma Wu couldn't even recognize her granddaughter before, but she suddenly regained her energy and always felt that it was strange, but he couldn't say it. Maybe everyone else except Xu Fang realized it.
The road after the canyon slowly turned into the Gobi desert, and they drove faster. The Gobi desert slowly disappeared, and snow began to accumulate on the continuous mountains. Then the snow covered the area more and more.
Ten days later, Xu Fang finally understood why Grandma Wu said to wear thicker clothes, it was too cold! It's really too cold!
He might freeze to death here.
