It's a pity for Ji Wanqing.
They must have missed the news broadcast on the radio while they were chopping up the zombies.
Early the next morning.
The team next door drove away first. The short-haired girl sitting in the passenger seat smiled and waved at Ji Wanqing, "Beauty, our captain said you worked hard yesterday, so let you lead the way today!"
Otherwise, if Ji Wanqing had heard the news about the crystal core last night, he would have really believed it.
No wonder he came here on purpose yesterday to get close to me.
"Then you kids." She couldn't find any reason to refuse, so she had to agree temporarily.
After packing up the tent, Jiang Che drove down from the nearest highway exit.
"Huh? Why are you walking this way?" Ji Wanqing was surprised.
Jiang Che looked ahead. "With them clearing the way, we will save a lot of time. Why not pick zombies in the nearby town to practice? You can also collect some supplies."
Her eyes lit up. This was a good idea.
Coming down the highway, the two quickly took over a gas station and its supermarket.
This is a small prefecture-level city with few people running around, but there are many more zombies than in City A.
Ji Wanqing killed several of them cleanly and neatly, but when he pried open their skulls he found nothing resembling a crystal core.
Until I encountered the type that Jiang Che mentioned, which was particularly difficult to cut.
"Crystal core!"
Ji Wanqing tried her best, and at the critical moment, she learned it by herself, using her spirit to tie the zombie's feet, and waited for a good opportunity to chop off the zombie.
Ji Wanqing held the gray square crystal in his hand and muttered, "What use is this thing?"
Jiang Che on the first floor also dealt with the zombies upstairs. She was about to tell her that her spirit had a new effect.
Jiang Che seemed to be stepping on something and slowly descended from the first floor.
Yes, landing.
"…What are you doing?"
"Wind." Jiang Che waved his hand and condensed a wind blade that landed at Ji Wanqing's feet, lifting her one or two meters into the air.
"Ah!" The feeling of weightlessness made her unsteady and she almost fell down.
Jiang Che reached out and caught her steadily, "Looks like you need to practice more."
Flying up to the middle of the air and then falling, Ji Wanqing felt it was too exciting, "There actually is a set of palm techniques that can be performed from the sky in this world!"
Who dares to fight with him?
Can fly!
Then, Ji Wanqing told Jiang Che the new use of spiritual threads. Both of them had their abilities greatly improved. The two of them took the five newly harvested crystal cores and drove back on the road.
Thanks to the convoy ahead, they had a smooth journey and arrived at the rest area near dusk.
But this time Jiang Che did not stop. He stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
"Aren't you going to rest tonight?" Ji Wanqing asked.
"Zombies hide during the day and come out at night. Although it is dangerous to travel at night, we also have more opportunities for actual combat."
And during today's battle, Jiang Che discovered that two first-level zombies actually cooperated with each other to attack him!
This shows that their IQ will evolve as their levels increase.
It was at this critical moment that he discovered another way to use his wind abilities.
After driving thirty kilometers forward, the car stopped in a small village near the highway.
Ji Wanqing retracted his spiritual thread, "All are zombies, no living things."
"Walk."
The two of them entered the village with searchlights and killed everyone.
This place is so remote and backward that people don't know whether to lock up the mutated zombies or kill them directly. So one by one, they bite each other, and the whole village is gone.
Zombies are indeed much more agile at night than during the day.
Ji Wanqing controlled his mental thread and tried his best. As expected, the zombie in the front slipped and fell to the ground.
Jiang Che swung out a wind blade, stepped on it and slashed it with a flying knife, quickly killing it.
After that, the two cooperated well and gave each other opportunities to practice their skills.
“Huh~”
After the battle, Ji Wanqing felt mental fatigue and forehead pain for the first time. It seemed that these were the sequelae of excessive and frequent mental exercise.
"Are you okay?" Jiang Che held her tightly, but found that he couldn't hold on with one hand, so he had to hold her waist and hold her tightly in his arms.
"Something's wrong. I have a headache." Ji Wanqing leaned on his chest, feeling dizzy and dazed.
He pried open the zombie's head with one hand, picked out the crystal core, blew away the foreign objects on it with the wind, and then lifted it up and suspended it in mid-air.
"I'm really too tired, son. Just carry me to sleep." Ji Wanqing was in low spirits. He threw all the taboos about physical contact between men and women behind his mind and put his arms around his neck.
Jiang Che was silent. He reached out to take the crystal core, picked up Xiao with one hand, and walked towards the car.
Before getting into the car, Ji Wanqing fell asleep out of exhaustion.
It was already completely dark, and Jiang Che did not set up a tent or anything. He carried her to the back seat of the car and stayed in the driver's seat for the whole night.
Ji Wanqing slept until ten o'clock the next day.
When I woke up, the car was already on the road.
"Are you still dizzy?" Jiang Che noticed the movement behind him.
"Dizzy." Ji Wanqing sat up and rubbed his calf, which had been curled up and stiff. "But it's better than yesterday."
"The energy of a superpower is limited. Be careful next time."
"Yes, I know."
The car drove forward until night fell and then stopped next to a new campsite.
Jiang Che was responsible for driving and killing the zombies alone. She did not recover until the evening, and she also suffered the side effect of losing control of her mental state.
"Hi, see you again!" The short-haired girl got out of the passenger seat. "Why didn't I see you two yesterday? I thought something happened."
Ji Wanqing pinched his own leg to stop his mind from wandering away, "I rested a little ahead of you yesterday."
The short-haired girl quickly glanced at the supplies in Ji Wanqing's car and said, "Is that so?"
"Um."
"Are you guys going to City C too?"
"Um."
"Go for it?"
Ji Wanqing was a little impatient, "It's not illegal to kill him now, so go and get your revenge."
“…”
The short-haired girl finally stopped asking for information and returned to her camp in disappointment.
After she turned around and left, Jiang Che quickly grabbed her hand and loosened the flesh in his hand, his fingernails were pinched white!
“Huh~”
Ji Wanqing rubbed it with her fingertips, it hurts!
"I doubt..."
"I feel..."
They both spoke in unison and stopped at the same time.
Ji Wanqing smiled and chuckled, and Jiang Che also showed a slightly gentler expression.
"I suspect they want to attack us."
There is indeed only one highway to City C, but there are more than just two convoys on the road, and they have run into each other for three consecutive nights.
Ji Wanqing guessed that maybe they wanted to take action yesterday, but they did not stay in the service area, but went to a small village further ahead.
Jiang Che: "Great minds think alike."
Ji Wanqing was slightly annoyed, "Oh, if I had been more relaxed yesterday, I could have sneaked over and got the news."
Now her mental threads are rioting. If she loses control and is discovered, she will have to kill everyone to keep the secret.
She killed so many zombies along the way, but she had never killed anyone before.
