Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Cave

-Elysian Valley-

Dozens of jeeps and large transport trucks were parked within the blockade. Next to the vehicles, teams wearing the combat uniforms of the Paradise Guild were busy moving back and forth, looking nervous.

From their expressions, it can be seen that this mission is quite difficult.

This is the closest passage to the inexplicably created "corpse cave", and they need to walk the rest of the way.

As the product of the second round of zombie virus mutation, the research and understanding of "corpse cave" is relatively mature.

They appear out of thin air on the skin of the earth, like anthrax that will not heal on its own. At first, it is just a very tiny hole. As time goes by, it continues to expand outward, devouring the surrounding land, plants, water sources, and all living things it encounters.

The creatures that inhabit these corpse caves are zombies. Compared to the zombies that live in zombie nests and are directly transformed by humans, these zombies born from the caves are faster, more destructive, and more dangerous.

What's even more terrifying is that they seem to have the terrifying reproduction ability of the Zerg. As long as they break through the critical point of outbreak, they will erupt on a large scale and attack everything they encounter.

Fortunately, there is a dormant period from the embryo to maturity of the corpse hole, and the duration of this period gives humans or bases living near the suddenly appearing corpse hole enough opportunities to react.

Get rid of it, or stay away from it.

It is reported that 80% of the reasons for the entire migration of human survivor bases on the mainland are related to corpse caves.

Bases that have the ability to deal with corpse caves usually choose to nip them in the bud once and for all.

However, bases or individuals that are unable to deal with the corpse cave can only choose to hide far away and continue living in another place.

Therefore, in this world, the wilderness far away from human habitation is not a peaceful paradise.

Maybe one day in the deep mountains and forests, you will accidentally come across a terrifying zombie cave in its mature stage. Before you can react, you will be dragged into the cave entrance by the zombies in the cave and devoured.

The best choice for ordinary people without superpowers is to survive by relying on human survivor bases, especially large bases with a large number of superpowers and strong comprehensive combat capabilities. The superpower guilds in these large bases have their own powerful superpowers and organizational capabilities to cope with these natural disasters and provide them with shelter.

The Paradise Guild has dealt with cancer like the "Corpse Cave" many times, and their guild has never relocated.

However, just as human psychics evolve, the zombie virus is also in a constant state of mutation. The zombie caves today are different from those of a few years ago. Even with more experience, the success rate of a one-time clearing will always be lowered to 80%.

The remaining 20% ​​of uncertainty constantly stirs the nerves of the major guild bases, making people worry whether the world's timeline has entered the third round of large-scale zombie virus mutation process that has been widely rumored...

We are almost ready, let’s get started.

Suddenly, the sound of vehicles driving was heard on the mountain road nearby.

Even he couldn't sneak away quietly under the noses of so many people with special abilities.

Wow——

A wall of fire rose from the ground, blocking the way ahead.

There is only one outcome for those who try to rush forward: they will be melted into a pool of molten iron under the scorching heat of the flames.

The visitor had no choice but to get off the bus.

Facing the president of the Paradise Guild and the pairs of surprised and confused eyes behind him,

Si Mu was speechless.

Unfortunately, he had to pass through here to get where he wanted to go.

Lu Suye's voice was emotionless. "I remember you resigned?"

Although in the previous combat meeting, he appointed Si Mu as the commander of the operation.

Of course, now it has become He Yongqiang.

Therefore, the fact that someone who was supposed to stay in the base and not go out appeared in a place where he shouldn't be must have indicated that something had happened.

"Where's Jiang Xi?"

Lu Suye's eyes gradually turned cold.

"Explain clearly."

-

Bubble machine, balloons, grandma... and,

Cat teaser?

My head hurts so much, it feels like it's going to split open.

The scenes before she lost consciousness flashed through her mind.

She remembered that she was sitting on the stone bench at the entrance of the market, waiting for Si Mu to come out.

The reason why Si Mu felt comfortable leaving her alone was that before he went in, he set up a mental barrier in the area at the entrance of the market.

With this barrier, passers-by will subconsciously ignore her, unless she is deliberately pointed out, then such a person will appear in other people's sight.

In addition, when Jiang Xi came here, she was already dressed as a man, so no one would pay attention to her.

The amount of mental energy injected into Si Mu's mental barrier was not much, but it was enough to achieve the effect he wanted in restricting ordinary people without special powers. If it was more, it might cause irreversible damage to the brains of ordinary people passing by the market entrance today.

No matter how psychics fight each other, even if it's a fight to the death, they all have one consensus, which is not to bully "mortals".

On the one hand, ordinary people without superpowers would never dare to provoke those with superpowers. On the other hand, if those with superpowers bully ordinary people who have "no ability to resist" and bully the weak, they will also be despised and excluded by other people with superpowers.

Normally, people with special abilities in Paradise Valley will not use their abilities in the Anle Zone. This is clearly written in the rules and regulations, giving ordinary people peace of mind to live here.

However, for ordinary people, there is no way to have sufficient mental restraint to cover the brains of people with special abilities at the same time and to give them suggestions and control.

so……

"Little girl, would you like a balloon?"

The old lady was smiling happily with a bunch of treasures in her hands.

Jiang Xi: "No need."

"Do you want a bubble secret?" The bag in the old lady's hand was like a treasure chest.

Jiang Xi: "No."

It turns out these little gadgets are also sold in Anle District?

Mobile vendors are also a major feature here and a means of making a living.

The things sold by the old lady in front of her made Jiang Ting dream back to the gate of the zoo she visited as a child.

Ding ding ding——

The sound of a string of bells jingling.

Jiang Xi looked up.

"Where's the cat toy?" He persisted and used different ways to lure the cat.

Must sell one.

Jiang Qian stared blankly at the string of pink feathers, and thought of Jiang Yongzhuang stretching out his soft and cute little paws, trying hard to reach it, and her heart began to waver.

How about buying one?

Besides, it is not easy for an old man of such an old age.

"good."

Jiang Xi pulled the crumpled 100-yuan note from her pocket and handed it to the old lady. "No need for change."

She has no use for the money anyway, so she might as well leave it to someone who really needs it.

Seeing such a large-denomination banknote, the old lady's eyes lit up, she thanked him repeatedly, and left with a happy smile.

Holding the cat toy in your hand, a gust of wind blows over, and the pink fur trembles in the wind.

What does it smell like? It smells delicious.

What happened next...

Jiang Xi didn't remember anything at all.

-

In the past few days, the number of people with special abilities appearing in the Anle Zone has increased dozens of times compared to before.

What are these people here for?

"Fuck! I can't hold it anymore!"

"If you can't hold it in, die."

"Yeah, will you suffocate to death if you don't do this kind of thing? You don't even have this little bit of resistance. I don't know how you've been through all these years?"

"I can drive you crazy! I feel like I'm already crazy."

The willow leaves accidentally disturbed the spring water.

The figure that suddenly appeared in the Paradise Guild area some time ago will never be forgotten by anyone who has seen it.

Not to mention the wonderful performance we had the privilege of listening to live at the Guild Hall that day, which drove those who weren’t there crazy with envy!

Even more excited than those who were present and listening!

Human imagination is unlimited.

It’s not a pleasant feeling to wash the sheets every day.

"No matter what, I have to have fun today!"

"Hey, are you trying to kill yourself? If you become a cripple and get kicked out of the base, I won't help you..."

"Of course not. Just bear with it for a while."

"Hold on! Tell me, is this reasonable? He must have done it a lot every day with such a beautiful woman in his arms, so how come Lu Suye is fine?"

It's really confusing.

"Is the mental power level too strong? Is it related to supernatural powers? Or is it that one or two times is actually okay?"

"Fuck, if you say that...it makes my heart flutter."

"Let's go. If you feel like it, let's go together. I've wanted to go for a long time."

"I say! Can you guys be more rational? We finally found a new guild, so I think we should be cautious and bide our time."

"That's right, those Jile guys are very defensive. They haven't treated us as their own people at all. They are on guard both openly and covertly. It won't be too late to take action after we get inside."

"Eh? What do you think? Could it be that the woman has a special physique? I think the safest way right now is to kill her and verify it."

“…”

“…”

"Insure you!***!"

"My goodness, are you really even crazier than me? You actually want to mess with someone who is not your father's? Then I'd rather go to Fengyue Street and find someone to try."

"Is anyone going with me?"

“Who’s for and who’s against?”

No one objects.

"Captain, what do you say?"

"Okay, help me find a woman too."

"Okay!!!" It's better to die today than to wait for another day. If we are going to die today, let's die together.

"Someone who is older." (Additional explanation)

"Huh???" Surprised, confused, shocked (there doesn't seem to be any older people there, who wants one!) Yan Jing asked, "What age do you want?"

“The bigger, the better.”

“…” Such a strong taste?

-

The original plan was abolished and the emergency plan was implemented.

Lu Suye and Si Mu left in a hurry, taking with them several top psychics with special abilities.

Behind him——

He Yongqiang: wo cao (lip shape)

"Get ready!"

He can only rely on himself from now on.

If you want to bypass the checkpoints, break through the blockade, and sneak someone out quietly, you must take an unusual route.

At least, it is a path that most people with special abilities cannot take.

There is only one option, base moat.

No matter how daring someone is, the guild leader's deterrent power is still there. No one dares to do evil openly in his territory. Isn't that the same as waiting to be caught?

Not to mention, there is such a terrifying psychic in the comfort zone at this time, so the first reaction after succeeding is to take the person out.

Mixing in with the places where the psychic power is most abundant and rich will greatly reduce the psychic's perception of "information".

The most dangerous place is also the safest place.

-An abandoned corpse cave in Paradise Valley-

After the corpse cave was properly dealt with, the exploded source gold ore has been mined.

So, now this place is no different from an ordinary cave.

The entrance of the cave faces the sky, and dim light shines in, making it impossible to tell whether it is morning or dusk.

In front of the burning bonfire was the back of a man with his arms folded.

Jiang Xi couldn't see clearly, but she instinctively wanted to step back.

But behind her was a stone wall.

She sat on the ground, unable to stand up. The rugged and uneven stones made her feel uncomfortable.

The soil beneath her hands was damp and soft, and a long, multi-legged worm crawled between her fingers.

She screamed in fright and quickly threw her hands away.

The sound startled the shadow.

The man turned and walked towards her, squatted down, and looked at her expression with interest.

"Oh, finally awake? You're so sleepy."

Looking at this face and the expression on it, when Jiang Xi remembered where she had seen it before,

She immediately grabbed her collar in panic and took a defensive stance.

Even my breathing is trembling,

"What are you going to do?!"
