◎Oops, I almost got caught.◎

"It's just a little girl, it's no big deal." Tian Yichuan, who was carrying two long-handled hammers, put his weapons on his shoulders and pointed his thumbs at the place behind him. "Rong Xiao, right? You can follow me when the time comes. It won't be dangerous."

"Thank you!" No matter what Rong Xiao answered, there was always a cheerful emotion in his tone, which was particularly supportive.

It is like a beautiful little bird that has never seen the world. It looks fragile, beautiful and delicate, making people want to protect that fragile beauty.

The outside world is full of turmoil and danger, but she lives in her own ivory tower and seems unable to ever understand the turmoil and danger.

They were quite envious of Rong Xiao's situation. Just surviving in the apocalypse was already tiring, and there were so many immeasurable dangers lurking. It felt like the scythe of death was hanging around their necks every day.

The relatives and friends who were chatting and laughing in the last second may no longer be able to wake them up in the next second.

No one can truly live an easy life.

However, Rong Xiao gave them a different feeling, just like in a dry and diseased forest, there was still a young sprout trying hard to grow happily in the corner.

Ling Xi knocked her fist against Tian Yichuan's chest to emphasize to Rong Xiao, "Just follow us in a while. We will definitely not let anything happen to you."

Rong Xiao nodded obediently, and Long Qingyu quickly opened the team-forming interface and added her to the team.

The team, which had originally had a dull atmosphere, suddenly became lively.

When Rong Xiao moved around holding the iron box, there was a rustling sound inside. Long Qingyu subconsciously raised his hand to signal, but Rong Xiao immediately changed his expression and dodged in alertness.

"Sorry, I don't want to take your box. I just want to ask if you need us to help you pack it?" Pointing to the backpack behind him, Long Qingyu kept a certain distance and did not approach Rong Xiao's box.

Rong Xiao didn't have a backpack, and she was holding a box in her hand all the time. It seemed to contain the blue syringes she had collected before. They made a rustling sound when she walked, and would attract the attention of zombies on the roadside.

The matter of communication still needs to be left to Lingxi.

Walking forward with a smile on her face, and after patiently dispelling Rong Xiao's guard, Ling Xi finally persuaded her to temporarily hand over the box to her and put it in the space.

Tian Yichuang and Ling Xi flanked Rong Xiao on the left and right, Long Qingyu led the team in front. Shangguan didn't want to walk with the noisy group in front, so he stayed at the end of the team, silently alert to the surrounding situation.

With Rong Xiao leading the way, they didn't take the wrong path and found the destination of the mission in more than ten minutes.

The gate of the community was half open, and there was a zombie trapped in the security room next to it, howling. It seemed that it had been trapped for a long time and moved very slowly. It was lying on the window, rubbing it slowly as if it was wiping glass.

The exterior walls are peeling due to wind and rain. There are not many buildings, probably only 2, and every two units are connected. The total height is only six floors, and there is no elevator.

"Same as before." There was no need to say much. Long Qingyu just needed to simply throw out a sentence and everyone immediately understood what they should do.

But this time is different from before, they have an additional Rong Xiao, a key protected person.

The gate of the community is electrically controlled and only opens about a person's width. I can vaguely see a swaying figure downstairs, but I don't need to look closely to know that it is definitely not a living person.

Long Qingyu was the first to go in. Suddenly a zombie jumped out from the left side. The zombie was not moving fast, so he kicked it away as expected, and then he used the fire axe in his hand to chop the zombie open steadily.

After clearing the blind spot threat, Long Qingyu made a hook shot, and the others followed closely.

The greenery in the community is too lush, and the weeds and trees are not trimmed, growing wildly. The tall green creates many blind spots, and the risk factor increases instantly.

"You said...are there any other people coming to complete the mission besides us?" Ling Xi held up a kitchen knife and communicated in his habitual whisper.

Shangguan chuckled softly: "Sometimes people are more troublesome than zombies."

"Tsk," Ling Xi turned back unhappily, "Shangguan, do you have a problem with me?"

"What's wrong with me?" Shangguan Yu looked confused.

Ling Xi looked suspicious: "It's okay, why are you laughing?"

"When Shangguan smiles, it feels like he's being sarcastic." Tian Yichuang rushed to speak with an "I understand, I understand" look on his face.

Shangguan Yu: “…” I don’t really want to communicate with you mortals.

"Stop chatting and think about how to complete the task!" Long Qingyu turned around and gave them a glare.

It was clearly a tense moment, but this group of people were still in the mood to make fun of each other. They must be too relaxed.

"Do you want to play hide-and-seek?" Rong Xiao has little presence when he is quiet, but he can attract all the attention as soon as he opens his mouth.

As soon as she brought up the game, the progress bar responded immediately and entered the monitoring state.

Tian Yichuan covered his mouth with his hand mysteriously and answered in a low voice: "It's an upgraded version of hide-and-seek and eagle-and-chicken. You have to hide behind me and Lingxi. If you get caught, we will all lose. Do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand. I won't be caught." Rong Xiao's assurance always gave them a vague feeling.

"Great, keep it up." Tian Yichuang actually cooperated and gave Rong Xiao a thumbs up.

Everyone agreed that Rong Xiao had some problems with his comprehension ability, and it would be great if he could explain it clearly through a game.

Ling Xi was also clapping silently beside them, and the styles of the three people became abnormal.

Shangguan Yu felt a sense of crisis and subconsciously stepped aside. It must be because he was not stupid enough that he seemed out of place with them.

He had no intention of talking at all, and was stroking his chin as he pondered the key words given by the game.

A family of three...

Opening his backpack and taking out a notebook, Shangguan Yu took a few steps back and began to observe layer by layer and write and draw on the paper.

"What are you looking at?" Tian Yichuang came over curiously, trying to understand his plan.

"It's too much trouble to explain."

“…”

"I have identified several key rooms. There are three buildings here in total. The middle building has the most targets. Let's start from here." Shangguan Yu closed the notebook, temporarily put the pen into his coat, and stood there without moving.

The look in his eyes clearly indicated that the person leading the group should consciously walk ahead.

Long Qingyu was just about to say a few words to Ling Xi and Tian Yichuang when he suddenly noticed another falling figure walking towards the apartment building.

"Come back!" Long Qingyu dragged Rong Xiao back. After a moment of worry, he pulled him back to stand in front of him as punishment. "I said don't move before we set off."

"Okay." A big sigh revealed Rong Xiao's disappointment.

Having just successfully reached the target building without being discovered by zombies, Rong Xiao's progress bar crawled forward a little bit at a snail's pace.

The box waiting to be opened at the end of the progress bar was extremely attractive to her.

Only by constantly "playing" the game to advance the progress bar can she have the chance to know what will be found after the box is opened.

"Yichuan, take Rongxiao and guard downstairs," Long Qingyu began to make arrangements before the operation. "Just like before, regularly clear out the zombies approaching here from the periphery to ensure that our retreat route isn't blocked. Send out a signal if anything happens."

"clear!"

"Unless your life is in danger, do not leave the exit under any circumstances."

Tian Yichuan seemed to understand what Long Qingyu meant. He glanced at Rong Xiao secretly and answered decisively again: "Yes!"

With a person who carries huge uncertainties with him, any accident could happen, but for the safety of the entire team, he must not leave at will.

So far, no one has figured out why zombies attack people.

Smell? Sight? Even hearing?

But every time they entered a place, it wouldn't be long before sparse zombies would approach the place where people lived. If they were unlucky, the exit would be quickly blocked, turning it into a dangerous area that could not be broken through.

In order to prevent this situation, Lingxi and Tian Yichuang used to stay behind to act as "sweepers". This time, with Rong Xiao added, Long Qingyu made a temporary adjustment and let Lingxi go in with him.

Tian Yichuang is the only one in the team with offensive abilities, so it makes people feel more at ease to leave Rong Xiao to him.

After arranging the overall plan, Long Qingyu led the others into the building.

Rong Xiao followed behind happily until Tian Yichuan pulled her back and pointed to the corner next to her: "Girl, stand here and don't run around. If you disappear, I won't be able to find you in time."

"Aren't we going in together?" Pointing at the group of people going up the stairs in front, Rong Xiao rubbed his fingers, eager to try.

Tian Yichuang knew that she treated her actions as a game, and he was actually a little envious of her for being able to live in such a relaxed state of self-paralysis.

"Captain, take the lead and explore the way. Our mission is to guard the only exit downstairs and prevent the zombies from taking over!" Afraid that she would find this mission boring and disappointed, Tian Yichuang snapped his fingers and emphasized seriously, "This is a very important mission. Whether the team can successfully leave depends entirely on us!"

"Really?" Rong Xiao was skeptical and looked like he was half convinced.

The task that Tian Yichuang mentioned did not trigger any reaction on the progress bar. Rong Xiao was not interested in it and thought that he would have to go back to the building.

Sure enough, not long after the others went upstairs, the zombies wandering outside began to move towards the entrance like dogs smelling meat.

Tian Yichuang took out a cigarette and lit it, then moved to a position with the wind down to avoid Rong Xiao. With a wave of his finger, a fireball hit the zombie, and the whole body was on fire.

"How did you do that?" It's so cool to be able to start a fire just by moving your fingers. Rong Xiao exclaimed in applause, staring at Tian Yichuang's fingers expectantly, and his fingertips also moved along, but nothing happened.

"Hahaha, this is a superpower, not everyone has it." Tian Yichuang laughed heartily when he saw her fingers trembling clumsily.

Before the laughter ended, a dark figure fell from the sky and landed heavily on the open space next to the two of them.

The screams rolling in his throat were getting closer and closer. Tian Yichuang was also frightened. He threw the cigarette at the black shadow, cursed in Chinese and threw out a fireball.

The fire did hit the zombie, but... he was not wearing any clothes.

There was nothing flammable on his body, only his hair was burning, and his already scarred buttocks smelled of barbecue, but it did not reduce the zombies' attack power at all.

"Hide aside quickly!" Tian Yichuang saw Rong Xiao standing there stupidly without moving, and was afraid that the fire would spread to her, so he raised his arms and gestured frantically.

Rong Xiao was not in any danger at all. Instead, he seemed to be playing an interesting game. He nodded cooperatively and dodged to the corner of the building like a nimble cat.

The noise here was too loud, and zombies kept coming over after hearing the noise. There were more and more zombies, but they were not out of Tian Yichuang's control yet.

He released a few more fireballs, forcing the zombies to the nearby trash can, and took the opportunity to make the fire even bigger.

Although Tian Yichuang's fire ability is aggressive, it is not so effective in dealing with zombies. After he dealt with the group of ho-ho-ho creatures, he suddenly found that Rong Xiao was missing.

Just now, when he heard Tian Yichuang telling him to hide, Rong Xiao quickly went around the corner of the building. Just as he was about to find a bush to squat in, a zombie with dirty clothes suddenly jumped out.

In a flash, she thought of Teacher Mosaic's teachings: When encountering zombies, don't confront them head-on without weapons, just run away. You should know how to run away, right?

Rong Xiao jumped up lightly and grabbed the window frame on the first floor. Then she stepped on the wall and jumped flexibly, reaching the window on the second floor with her hand. She repeated this process and successfully climbed to the fourth floor.

The zombies still shaking in the grass became as small as red dates.

Leaning on the window and looking into the house, Rong Xiao's head looked like a newly grown mushroom. After a round top slowly emerged, a pair of rolling eyes appeared.

There was no one in the house, things were overturned everywhere, the door was closed, and it seemed that there were no zombies or people.

Rong Xiao climbed in through the window. The door of the house was closed and there was a slight noise in the second bedroom.

She tiptoed to the front door as if playing hide-and-seek and opened it.

"Hehehe..." A pair of blood-red eyes shook and pounced on the door through the crack of the door.

A powerful force hit the door, but Rong Xiao didn't move at all, with his palm against the door, not at all panicked by the zombies' impact.

"Oh, I almost got caught." Rong Xiao pushed the door shut little by little with a smile on his face.

The zombies outside tried desperately to squeeze in. No matter how hard they banged on the door with their bloody hands and rammed their bodies against it, the door didn't slow down at all and closed steadily.

The door of the adjacent study opened with a click, and a cautious head popped out.

"Rong Xiao? Why are you here?" Ling Xi couldn't believe it. She rubbed her eyes several times and changed the angle to make sure whether this was an illusion.

Shouldn't she be downstairs with Tian Yichuang?

Can anyone explain this!!
