bloody water

The next morning, it was still snowing outside.

Lou Tiannan did not show up, so Zhu Liang briefly told everyone about the upcoming itinerary.

He said, "I will take people to the West District to conduct a preliminary reconnaissance. If everything is OK, we can continue our journey this afternoon."

The survivors naturally had no objection. Seeing the safe zone getting closer and closer, they all prayed for safety.

After Zhu Liang finished giving his instructions, he left the warehouse with Zhou Yu, Lu Jia and others.

Standing guard at the door were Song Yan and other members of the Third Military Defense Team.

Zhu Liang had been gone for about an hour when Lin Bai heard someone ask Song Yan, "Why haven't we seen Captain Lou all morning?"

Song Yan replied formally: "Team Leader is resting. He will take over the shift tonight."

Is it a break or the beginning of a susceptible period? Lin Bai guessed silently.

Near noon, Zhu Liang and his team returned covered in snow. They looked like they had just fought a fierce battle. As soon as he came back, he hurried to the warehouse compartment, which was the lounge where Lou Tiannan was.

He stayed inside for a while before coming out, his face not quite relaxed. He told the survivors, "The situation in West District 1 is not good. There are a lot of zombies, and the roads are blocked by ice and snow. We can't set out today. We have to wait until the ice on the road melts."

In fact, Zhu Liang didn't need to say anything. In the morning, some people saw the layer of snow piled outside the warehouse, which was more than ten centimeters thick. At that time, some people were worried about whether they could set off smoothly in the afternoon.

After hearing Zhu Liang's words and seeing the battle marks on his combat uniform, the atmosphere in the warehouse became depressed.

Zhu Liang said: "Don't worry, we will set off as soon as the ice melts."

In the afternoon, Zhu Liang took his men out again, but Lou Tiannan still did not show up.

Someone in the warehouse saw Xiya doing various exercises, and was inspired to stretch their muscles as well.

It was not until nightfall that Zhu Liang returned with his men. If one ignores the dejected look on Zhu Liang's face and the traces of fighting on his combat uniform, then this day could be considered to have been spent quite peacefully.

Late at night, when everyone was soundly asleep, Lin Bai got up and just as he sat on the container outside the warehouse, someone called out, "Who?!"

At the same time, a beam of flashlight shone on Lin Bai.

Lin Bai calmly looked at Zhou Yu, who was shining a flashlight at him, and said, "Your vigilance isn't good enough. But isn't it Captain Lou who's on duty tonight? Why is it your turn?"

Seeing that it was Lin Bai, Zhou Yu's expression eased a little, "Captain Lou is not feeling well..." Halfway through his words, he seemed to remember something and changed the subject: "Why are you out here so late at night? It's so cold."

"I slept too much during the day."

Seeing that Lin Bai really had no intention of sleeping, Zhou Yu thought of asking Lin Bai for some private lessons. Seeing that this was the perfect opportunity, he pushed himself up and sat on the container. He said to Lin Bai, "Lin Bai, please teach me again. The place you pointed out to me the other day really made my superpowers much stronger. Is there any way to make my superpowers even stronger?"

"If you pay the tuition, I will teach you." Lin Bai was very direct.

"Tuition? What do you want?"

"Just your lump of supernatural metal. I want to make something."

"That's it? No problem!" Zhou Yu agreed without hesitation.

Seeing Zhou Yu agreed, Lin Bai curled his lips and said, "Okay, let's get started."

Her hand was still on Zhou Yudao's chest. It was not known whether it was because the temperature outside was low or because of Lin Bai's hand, but Zhou Yudao shivered even through his clothes. However, the teaching opportunity was rare, so he gritted his teeth and endured it.

Tsk, this temperature is still not as comfortable as Lou Tiannan's. Lin Bai felt a little disgusted, but he still taught in a serious manner: "Go find the core of your superpower. Everyone's superpower core is located differently, but it's usually in the back of the head, chest, or abdomen. Just channel your superpower energy. Is this right?"

The last time Lin Bai tried to press Zhou Yudao's chest, the supernatural metal he used was strengthened, and it was basically certain that Zhou Yudao's supernatural core was in his chest.

"Yes, yes, yes! That's it!" Zhou Yu knew the core of the supernatural power, but the supernatural metal he had used before was not as powerful as what Lin Bai taught him last time.

"Although supernatural energy is exerted from your core, it is also affected by the surrounding environment. This area is very suitable for you to exert it. Just imagine that the supernatural energy is like bread, and then you can knead it into a ball in your core area. Come on, try it."

"Bread? Knead it into a ball?" Zhou Yu listened to Lin Bai's description and slowly exerted his supernatural power from the core area of ​​his chest. A faint silver light flashed, and a piece of metal appeared in his palm.

Looking at the metal, his eyes lit up, "Hey! It really worked!"

"What's wrong? Let's do it again!" Lin Bai threw the metal block aside in disgust and let Zhou Yu continue.

Zhou Yu had no choice but to obey orders, again and again...

This night became Zhou Yu's nightmare.

Until the sky brightened with rosy clouds, Lu Jia and other members came to relieve Zhou Yu's post according to the schedule. Seeing Zhou Yu's lifeless eyes and unshaven beard, as if he had been squeezed dry, he waved his hand with a pale face and said to Lin Bai: "I can't do it anymore, I really can't do it anymore. I can't come again! I will die if I come again!"

He staggered off the container and ran away without looking back.

Seeing this, Lu Jia swallowed his saliva and said to Zhang Shan, who came to change shifts with him: "Brother Zhou won't go astray..."

"It's not impossible..."

Next to the container, metal blocks were piled up like a mountain. Seeing Zhou Yu leave, Lin Bai picked out three pieces of metal. She jumped off the container and saw Lu Jia and the others. She shook the metal blocks in her hand and said, "Do you want to try it too?"

They both took a step back at the same time, maintaining the maximum safe distance, and said politely, "No, no."

Xiya was the first survivor to wake up. When she opened her eyes and didn't see Lin Bai, she hurried out to look for him, but happened to run into her at the door. Also at the door was Zhu Liang who had just walked in.

Zhu Liang walked into the warehouse without looking away and said to the survivors, "The ice and snow outside are already melting. I will lead the team to explore the way out today."

"Okay, Deputy Captain Zhu, be careful!" a survivor warned.

"Don't worry, we will be back at noon." Zhu Liang said calmly.

Just when Zhu Liang was about to leave, Zhou Yu, who was supposed to be resting, ran over with a little panic on his face, whispered a few words to Zhu Liang, and then the two went to Lou Tiannan's lounge together.

Lin Bai soon heard the voices of Zhu Liang and Lou Tiannan talking in his ears. It was probably because they had not found the inhibitor and asked Lou Tiannan to hold on a little longer.

"I hope nothing happened to Captain Lou?" Someone suddenly said in a low voice.

Lin □□zhun recognized that the voice was Limon's.

The atmosphere in the warehouse became tense because of this sentence, and some people whispered.

When they saw Zhu Liang appear again, the warehouse immediately became quiet. They looked at Zhu Liang with expectations in their eyes that they themselves did not know about. However, Zhu Liang did not say anything more. He asked Zhou Yu and Song Yan to lead the team to stay, and he led the remaining psychics in the team to continue exploring the way to the West District.

The temperature outside is quite high today, and the snow is melting little by little and dripping from the eaves.

The survivors also moved around near the warehouse, trying to warm up.

Lin Bai sat at the door of the warehouse, slowly knocking on a piece of metal. The sun shone on her. If you didn't look at her ordinary face even with makeup, many people would mistake her back for a beautiful woman with outstanding looks. Suddenly, she paused, raised her head, and sniffed the air.

She smelled rust.

The smell of rust in the blood.

Her eyes slowly scanned the surroundings and gradually locked onto an area. It was an iron gate not far from the warehouse. Drops of snow and... blood were falling from the iron gate.

She sighed, her energy wasn't fully recharged yet and trouble came again.

Soon, the red blood was discovered by others. When they got closer and saw it clearly, they immediately shouted in panic: "There are corpses here! So many corpses!"

Members of the third team of the federal army came forward to check. The moment they saw the dozen or so unidentified bodies and the blood all over the ground, they knew they had to leave as soon as possible!

Song Yan made a quick decision and said, "Quick! Get in the car! Hurry! We need to get out of here!"

As the sun rises, the blood of the fresh corpse melts, and this fresh blood will attract zombies.

The survivors rushed to get on the car. In the chaotic crowd, Lin Bai saw Lou Tiannan, who had not appeared for a day and a night. He had his head down and looked not in good condition. He was hastily taken into another car by Zhou Yu.

Before everyone got on the bus, Wen Xia Xia shouted, "It's too late! The zombies are coming! Hide quickly."

Someone looked up in panic and saw a crowd of zombies not far from the iron gate of the warehouse.

It was obviously too late to drive at this time. Moreover, not only did zombies appear at the iron gate, but cracks also appeared in the wall that was originally reinforced by Zhou Yu and Lu Jia, and the figures of zombies could be vaguely seen outside the wall.

Everyone was in a panic and was dodging everywhere, hiding in warehouses or containers. The scene was in chaos.

The zombies attracted by the blood quickly broke through the wall and surrounded the warehouse. The crowd was too scattered, and the federal army members could not take care of both at once. They watched as the zombies gradually narrowed the encirclement, and even their sharp claws were about to reach the crowd.

Suddenly, black flames rose up, blocking the zombies' steps.

Lou Tiannan came out of the car at some point. He leaned against the car door with his head slightly lowered, and a corner of the temporary suppression patch on the gland at the back of his neck could be vaguely seen.

Under the black flames, the zombies have nowhere to escape.

In just a moment, Lou Tiannan resolved the zombie crisis. In just a short while, Lou Tiannan's head and neck were covered in sweat. If Zhou Yu hadn't supported him, he would have almost fallen.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was in a bad condition.

The survivors looked at the zombies that had been burned to charcoal with lingering fear. Just as they cautiously breathed a sigh of relief, they heard someone screaming in a shrill voice: "Ah!!!"

Everyone's heart was immediately raised to its knees before they could even calm down, and they looked nervously towards the source of the sound as if by reflex.

A survivor stared at a woman with a flushed face, and asked her with anger in his voice: "Why did you push me?!"

Even though the woman was facing sideways towards them and her face was half covered by her long hair, she was still easily recognized as Lin Bai.
