Xia Yan: You said it was a vacation? Where's the scenery? Is it zombies?...
Chapter 404 There is a trick
There was a loud thud and the heavy object fell to the ground.
Xia Yan quickly moved to the window and looked down. She saw the man with a thin voice rolling over to release the force. When he looked up and met her gaze, he threw the ball of dirt hidden in his hand away, then stood up and ran away.
Xia Yan dodged to the side, and when he looked out again, the man who was eager to escape had already run more than 20 meters away, and the thick dust raised by his feet almost covered his figure.
"Where are you going? You are not allowed to leave until you have compensated for your losses!" The female boss shouted, grabbing the third brother's arm tightly to prevent him from leaving.
The third brother stared at Xia Yan, shook his arms to break free, pushed with both hands, and shouted, "Get out of here!" and was about to run out.
The tacit understanding built up over the years allowed the two of them to understand each other's intentions just by exchanging glances. They fled separately, regardless of whether they were poisoned or not, and ran as far as they could. She was alone and could not be caught up.
Seeing that the opportunity had come, the two of them took action immediately.
The third brother rushed out of the door like a leopard, and without losing momentum, he jumped down the multiple steps, hit the wall, supported himself with his hands, jumped down the steps again, and ran out of the building.
Before he could feel relieved, a bone-chilling chill descended from the sky. When the sense of crisis came over him, he rolled over on the ground without thinking and dodged it. He only heard the sound of a golden spear piercing his side, only a centimeter away from his skin, causing him to shudder.
Damn, that woman jumped directly from the building!
Amidst the flying yellow sand, he watched with a trembling heart as Xia Yan swung his knife coldly and quickly through the slits of his eyes. The sunlight cast a terrifying light on the knife, which made him feel heartbroken!
This is a skilled knife player.
Suddenly, his rolling movement paused slightly, and then he felt an unbearable burning pain in his waist. He touched it with his left hand and felt a hard protrusion. He wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot, and begged for mercy in panic and fear:
"wait--"
"Puff—bang—crack!"
"ah!!!"
Xia Yan took the pair of broken legs and aimed at the thin-voiced man who ran a distance away. He swung his arm and threw it with all his strength. A beautiful parabola was seen in the air. After leaving the body, the legs quickly became wooden and became stiff and heavy, and hit the head of the man who heard the scream and looked back very accurately.
His body swayed, and he fell forward limply to the ground like a noodle just out of the pot. The dust following his steps slowly fell down, like a thin gray blanket covering him.
Xia Yan put away his professional bone-cutting knife, made sure that the third brother who was missing a leg could not move and escape, and walked towards the man with a thin voice.
The dusty man had a sunken head and a sticky liquid was flowing down along the arc. He rolled his eyes and opened his mouth, breathing with difficulty, as if he was in a deep coma.
Xia Yan remained calm as he stabbed the sword into his heart, sending him to the underworld.
She stood up and turned back to see what the third brother was doing, but unexpectedly saw the female boss in front of the small building waving at her, her hand on her mouth and shouting: "There's a big pond in the south, throw it there!"
Uh, is she supposed to dispose of the body? Standing on tiptoe, I saw a large pit not far away.
Xia Yan wiped the liquid off the sword and put it back into the system grid. He reached out and grabbed the legs and dragged them. He threw the corpse in as the female boss requested. The only zombie under the deep pit was activated, screaming and pounced on it, biting and devouring it.
She stood at the edge, wiping her hands with a wet towel, and looked at the man-made violin-shaped pit. This might be to drive away zombies. After all, such a dilapidated building could not stop the zombie army.
The female boss carrying an empty bucket walked past with a happy look on her face, followed by several half-naked residents carrying small buckets. They walked along the edge of the pit to the low-lying area, bent down, bent their legs and jumped down.
From her angle, she could only see smiling faces emerging from the ground, with excitement in their eyes as they looked at the zombies eating.
Xia Yan glanced at the third brother who was lying on the ground with his legs hugged and wailing, and decided to watch for a while.
Fortunately, she didn't have to wait long before the female boss took action.
She took out a small stick and hit the bucket, screaming. The people behind her followed suit and attracted the zombies in the blink of an eye.
She took a few steps forward and found a very sturdy iron fence standing between the two.
This is probably the most valuable thing in this hotel, but it's lying here...
The violent zombie slammed into him, its fangs bared and closed ferociously. Its cataract-like eyes were cut by the sharp iron spikes, leaking a foul-smelling liquid. Its arms covered with corpse spots passed through the gap, and the only remaining purple index finger scratched frantically, trying to stuff the fresh flesh and blood in front of it into its mouth to fill its insatiable hungry stomach.
“Hurry, hurry, hurry!”
"Catch it quickly!"
Unexpectedly, the person on the other side was not afraid of being overjoyed. He took out the pliers in the bucket, pinched the zombie's only finger very accurately, and then impatiently put the bucket under the finger.
At this time, someone stabbed the zombie hard in the abdomen. The furious and mindless zombie allowed them to pinch its fingers, roaring and biting the iron fence continuously.
"Poke it a few more times!"
“Roar—roar!”
“Here it comes!!”
A group of people were in a frenzy. Xia Yan walked over to take a look and saw a trickle of clear water flowing out from under the zombie's fingers, gathering more and more at the bottom of the bucket.
It turned out to be a water-type zombie with superpowers.
"Is this water drinkable?" she asked.
Perhaps because she had replenished the zombies' energy and benefited herself, the female boss's complexion brightened considerably. She began to explain, "It certainly can't be drunk directly. It needs to be filtered and exposed to the sun. There are so many steps involved, it's hard to explain in a few words."
The residents standing next to her smiled with wrinkles on their faces, not caring at all where the water came from or how much they could drink in the end. This was the way of survival they had figured out bit by bit, and everything was for the sake of staying alive.
The zombies, with sufficient energy, threw out a lot of water, and almost every bucket was full. However, the zombies had no consciousness and could not feel the physical discomfort caused by excessive use of superpowers. Their reaction was very direct -
boom!
——Falling directly to the ground and not moving.
On the way back, everyone was very careful, using their thin arms to protect the hard-earned water, even the female boss did the same.
Xia Yan caught the third brother who was still unwilling to give up and was trying to escape by moving his knees. After the portal opened, he kicked him in.
In front of the small building, they had already started the first cleaning process in an orderly manner. They looked at her and the constantly rotating portal from time to time, wondering why she didn't go in yet. There was nothing worth remembering here.
Xia Yan hesitated for a moment, then took out a flyer and handed it to the female boss.
"You might consider it. It's not a bad idea to get a points card. At least you can have three meals a day. With a healthy body, you can continue to wait."
After saying that, she walked into the portal without looking back.
When the milky white light completely disappeared between the sky and the earth, the busy residents gathered around, looked at the flyers in her hands, and touched the stunned owner.
"I don't think she's a scammer. She even helped us get rid of the bad guys. If that thing is still there tomorrow, can we go in and take a look together?"
