Chapter 160 (Catching Bugs)
Just as Ji Wan and the others said, because the floors were high and the zombies they encountered from the first floor upwards were dealt with by them in advance, this hot pot did not bring any danger.
But no one relaxed, and no one thought that the danger from zombies would stop there.
Moreover, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and traveling during the day is already hindered. But at night, not only do you have to guard against zombies that may suddenly attack from any corner, but your vision is also obstructed. So, people with flashlights can always be the brightest and most delicious ones in the middle of the night.
So after a brief discussion, a group of half-grown children decided not to go out first, but to organize the people who were still alive in the building.
"When the time comes, we will go together. Although we will encounter zombies, it will be much easier to deal with them together. We can also avoid other dangers as much as possible with so many of us." The squad leader said in an orderly manner, paused, and added: "Of course, if we are lucky enough to come across an empty room, we can find some supplies we need and collect them back. We will distribute them together then."
Ji Qing interrupted and said, "Squad leader, should we distribute according to work or equally?"
The squad leader hesitated for a second, then said decisively: "Distribute according to work! Those who do more work will have higher priority when distributing supplies."
It's just like opening boxes and stealing gold in a game copy. Whoever contributes the most gets to choose first.
As for those who didn't do anything, the monitor thought for a moment and said, "It's not that I'm just talking nonsense because I have special abilities. Everyone can think about what they can do. We have lived so long and have grown from buds of the motherland to pillars of the country. It's not that we can't make any contribution to the team, right?"
No one else had any objection to this, and they all agreed with this distribution method after hearing it. Moreover, they had escaped from the university town where zombies were densely populated, and they had relied entirely on the squad leader and Xiao Si's detection abilities along the way.
The class monitor could vaguely sense the location of the zombies, and Xiao Si had a similar ability to infrared detection, able to sense the living people hidden inside the buildings. Everyone relied on each other's special abilities to escape from the school with great difficulty, otherwise they would probably still be hiding in the classroom, jealous of other students who were lazy and didn't show up for class and thus escaped, while facing the ubiquitous teachers and classmates who had turned into zombies outside.
I don’t know how my classmates and teachers in this school and nearby schools are doing now.
The school is like a closed zombie paradise. I hope the national military rescue can arrive soon, otherwise the entire army might be wiped out.
After simply determining the distribution model, everyone quickly found their own division of labor.
Ji Wan's superpower is healing, Du Qing's is strength, class monitor Li Yajun and fourth grade Zou Jiakai both have detection abilities, Gu Jiangan has thunder abilities, Li Huan can both cook and is a water ability user, Gu Jiangyuan and Gu Jiangxin have not yet awakened their superpowers, and the other two classmates have not yet awakened their superpowers, but after escaping all the way here, they have been able to muster up the courage to pick up a baseball bat and a shovel to hit the zombies on the head.
"Then let's split into two teams and set off." The squad leader quickly made the decision, and in the end, only Mrs. Gu was left at home.
Gu Jiangyuan looked at his mother, then at his elder brother who was bound to "help out", feeling a little embarrassed, but still said: "I'll go with you next time. My mother is home alone, and I'm worried."
Everyone understood this, so the rest of the people took their weapons and divided into two teams and went upstairs to search for survivors and unclaimed supplies.
Ji Wan also knocked on Yun Jinshu's door and told her not to panic if she heard any noise.
Yun Jinshu watched this group of students who couldn't stop at all and were always actively trying to survive leave, shook his head, and locked the door again.
She had enough supplies and was worried about leaving Mianmian alone at home, so she hoped that the children could return safely.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and even the noisy cicadas disappeared due to the heat.
The whole world seemed to become quiet in this steaming heat.
Yunmian lay on the mat with her legs spread out, fanning herself with a small fan in her hand almost all the time, but the sweat on her forehead was still very dense, and it would soon reappear after being wiped with a wet tissue.
"Mom, it's so smelly and hot..." The child couldn't stand it anymore and sat up, covering his nose and wrinkling his face and whispered, "It stinks, I feel like vomiting."
She really wanted to vomit. The heat accelerated the decay of the corpses, and the heat spread the stench into every inch of the air. No one knew how many people had died in the entire community, and no one had dealt with their bodies. If they were left in the heat for a while, a contagious plague might occur like in ancient times.
Even though my mother closed all the doors and windows, the disgusting stench still continued to seep into the house bit by bit.
In addition, there was a power outage and the air conditioner could not be turned on, and there was no indoor air circulation system. Yunmian had been unable to bear it since this morning. She didn't even eat a few bites of food. She curled up uncomfortably on the mat, controlling her breathing with a listless mouth.
Yun Jinshu wet a handkerchief with water and wiped the sweat off his daughter's body. Hearing this, his brows furrowed and he felt a little more anxious.
She had considered a lot before and thought she had considered everything, but when the doomsday really began, she found that her plans and ideas were full of unknown loopholes.
At this rate, the mother and daughter would not be able to stay here for long before being forced to leave.
The more people die, the more difficult this place becomes for the living.
In addition, all systems in the city are almost paralyzed, and no effective defense measures can be taken.
Fresh corpses and blood will accelerate the growth of zombies, while rotten corpses will allow many small animals such as insects and mice to spread the germs carried by the corpses over a large area.
No one was able to collect and bury the dead.
It seems that letting zombies devour fresh corpses has even become a beneficial means of allowing living people to have more living space.
But the consequences are endless.
Yun Jinshu thought of the body in the "small dark room" upstairs that she had stuffed into a sealed box. After thinking for a moment, she lowered her voice and said to the child who was having difficulty breathing, "Mianmian, hold on for another day. If no one comes to rescue us tomorrow, then mommy will take you away from here, okay?"
"..." Yunmian grabbed her mother's clothes and huddled on the mat. She nodded listlessly after hearing what she said. She finally pulled herself together and asked gloomily, "Mom, where can we go?"
Uncle System said there are monsters everywhere outside.
If you leave home, can you still have a second home?
There won't be any more monsters?
"To go to the countryside, starting from our house, if the driving is smooth, it will take about half a day. If there is a traffic jam on the road, it won't take long for us to walk there." Yun Jinshu recalled the map of the surrounding areas of Lan City that he had recorded before, and his goal gradually became clear.
What's more, there are vehicles for transportation everywhere on the streets, including motorcycles, bicycles, batteries, private cars, etc.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for this group of half-grown children to escape all the way here from the university town so safely.
"What if someone comes to save us?" Yun Mian started fanning herself and her mother with the small fan again.
Yun Jinshu touched his daughter's sweaty hair and said gently, "Then we will follow everyone and go to a new place. They will protect our safety on the way, which is much better than leaving on our own."
Yunmian nodded, not quite understanding.
Although she didn't quite understand why there were two different choices, when her mother was willing to explain things to her bit by bit, she would have a sense of accomplishment that she was a little adult and could help.
I hope to leave with you all soon.
I hope everyone can be safe and stop smelling the stinky air.
Yunmian turned around and pressed her belly against the cool bamboo mat through her clothes, lying there motionless for a long time.
In fact, the silk thread at her fingertips was flowing up and down in the building. She could see everything the top of the silk thread "saw", so she knew much more clearly than those college students how many living people and zombies were left in the building.
But Yunmian told no one.
She looked at Gu Jiangan, who claimed to be her father, and saw a bright flash of lightning appear above the palm of his hand. Then the zombie that rushed towards him had its hair stood up by the electric shock. After being stunned for a moment, it suddenly fell backwards and fell onto the hard floor.
It hurts just looking at it.
But Yun Mian inserted the silk thread into the zombie's head without hesitation.
She was not looking for the crystal core, but saw the second zombie head that was hit by lightning.
The blow was fatal, and the flesh of the zombies inside that was protecting the crystal core was burnt by electricity.
Gu Jiangan also walked over and cut open the zombie's head with a knife. After finding that there was nothing inside, he frowned a little puzzled, but did not care too much about the gains and losses that depended on luck.
Yun Mian just watched the scene of him killing zombies and then wound the silk thread in another direction without any interest.
She was looking for something to give to her mother, and if she found it, she would wrap it up in silk thread and bring it back secretly.
This is Yunmian’s newly discovered method of using silk thread. When the corpse was transported before, the silk thread wrapped the corpse, and the corpse disappeared little by little.
The little girl's clever head was enlightened, and she used this method to secretly take a lot of things home in the past two days.
However, Yunmian also listened to her mother and did not go to houses where people lived to get things. Instead, she poked around in empty rooms, and only when she found something she was interested in would she wrap it up and bring it back like a treasure.
In this way, another day passed slowly in the heat of midsummer.
Yunmian followed her mother's instructions and pushed the silk thread down further and further until it reached the basement parking lot.
"Mom, I found our car." Yunmian looked up at her mother excitedly.
Yun Jinshu touched his daughter's head and said to her, "Mianmian, take another look at the zombies below. Are there many?"
Hearing this, Yun Mian nodded obediently and started searching the parking lot with the silk thread again.
After about five minutes, she replied: "Mom, there are only nine zombies, but..."
The child wrinkled his face, as if he had encountered some problem that he couldn't figure out.
"But what?" Yun Jinshu asked patiently.
Facing her mother's gaze, Yun Mian pursed her lips and asked in confusion: "But mom, I saw a zombie uncle, it was opening the car door..."
Yun Jinshu was speechless for a moment.
My whole body felt like it was soaked in ice water, and the chilling coldness remained in the bones for a long time.
She finally found her voice and asked slowly, "Mianmian, are you sure there is a zombie... opening the car door?"
Yun Mian nodded confidently: "Yes, that uncle was wearing black clothes and walked slowly, but he just opened the car door and got in."
As her daughter spoke, Yun Jinshu felt as if her body was shaking uncontrollably. The chill that instantly ran from the soles of her feet to the back of her head made her shudder.
"Mom?" Yun Mian leaned in and hugged her mother who was not reacting properly. She rubbed her chin with her head and said softly, "Don't be afraid, mom. The zombie uncle has sealed the car and I can't get in. But when it comes out, I will definitely kill it. I am very powerful and can protect mom."
The child was completely unfamiliar with the structure of the vehicle and didn't know how to get in once the door and window were sealed. He hugged his mother awkwardly and patted her arms gently with his little hands to comfort her.
Yun Jinshu gradually calmed down in her daughter's arms.
She knew that the most terrible thing she had imagined had happened.
Zombies, like humans, also have an evolutionary direction.
Humans have superpowers, so why don’t zombies have them?
But the zombie virus itself is extremely contagious. Once the zombies possess superpowers, how can ordinary people survive when they encounter them?
Yun Jinshu didn't dare to think too much about it, and even gave up the idea of taking Yunmian to the countryside.
Humans are mostly social creatures, so why can't zombies be the same?
If that happens, she and her daughter will encounter zombies alone, with almost no chance of survival or escape.
"Mianmian, forget about it for now." Yun Jinshu tried her best to calm down and said to her daughter, "We have limited energy to use our special powers. Take back the silk thread. It's getting dark soon. Mom will make you a bowl of sweet dumplings. Eat them and go to sleep."
As for the special zombie that was obviously smarter than other zombies and even knew how to open and close car doors, Yun Jinshu forced himself not to panic because of its existence for the time being.
While she was cooking, she was wondering whether she should tell the children upstairs the news.
If I told them, how would I explain how I found that zombie?
If it wasn't absolutely necessary, Yun Jinshu would never want to expose Mianmian's special ability, because in addition to zombies, humans also have to guard against this kind of special ability.
If anyone has this kind of special ability that cannot be seen or touched, people will unconsciously stay away from him.
It's not that they are good at speculating on people's hearts with malice, but the instinct of human beings to be prepared for danger and to defend themselves for survival.
What's more, Mianmian is still young. If someone deceives her and uses her ability to do other things, the consequences will be difficult to predict.
But we can't let those kids act rashly without knowing the danger.
After making the decision, when Ji Wan and Li Heng knocked on the door with the things they had searched, wanting to ask Yun Jinshu if he needed anything and if he could exchange them, Yun Jinshu told them the news.
"I have psychic abilities." She chose to talk about her abilities, but did not explain too much. She just told them that there might be a special zombie with simple intelligence in the community, and then warned them: "If you plan to go out in the next two days, be careful. If you encounter danger, don't rush forward. Run quickly when you need to. Safety comes first."
Li Huan listened with a dazed look on his face. After returning upstairs, he said "Fuck" in a daze after a long while.
"I originally thought that zombies were the limit of what could be possible in a novel, but... zombies can actually have intelligence?!" He looked extremely surprised, staring with his eyes wide open for a long time before uttering a curse in Chinese, and then conveyed the "bad news" to others.
After hearing this, everyone fell silent for a while, and then the whole room was filled with "Fuck!" sounds from people who were unwilling to accept the fact.
“What do you think? Will there be zombies that…” The squad leader pushed up his glasses and reasoned carefully based on his own knowledge: “Zombies that disguise themselves as humans and can talk and laugh with us normally?”
"Fuck! Stop being such a pessimist!" Li Huan jumped up and covered the monitor's mouth, angrily saying, "Do you know that one of the three laws of novels is that good things don't work but bad things do? Hurry up and spit!"
The squad leader pried open his claws and obediently spat three times under the resentful gazes of everyone.
Bad luck go away, cement retreat, may Buddha bless you.
Ji Wan looked at the monitor's face, which could definitely be described as a "nerd," and his eyes became a little strange.
In the late days of the apocalypse...similar situations did occur, and not infrequently.
During that period, no one dared to walk with strangers, and would hurriedly avoid them when seeing them from afar, but countless people were still affected.
There was even a safe base that almost allowed a zombie to take the second-in-command position.
After being discovered, everyone felt insecure, and even the people closest to them became dangerous and untrustworthy.
This also greatly pleased the woman who was using her body. She enjoyed it very much. She said that the air in this world was full of the sweet negative scent that she liked.
Ji Wan didn't feel happy at all.
It's creepy just to think about it.
But she didn't expect that such zombies would appear so early in this life.
In my previous life, I didn’t seem to have encountered these intelligent zombies here.
Is this my own butterfly effect again?
Ji Wan walked away from the noisy discussions, lost in thought, and sat on the edge of the bed, staring in a daze at the setting sun coming in through the window.
The rescue troops will arrive tomorrow.
At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, his body will be forcibly occupied by that woman.
In his previous life, he tried countless ways to expel that woman from his body but failed. In this life, Ji Wan didn't think he could have prevented her appearance if he had foreseen it in advance.
So after it gets dark and everyone has rested, it's time for me to leave.
Ji Wan unconsciously clenched his fingers and bit his lips, enduring the torment and struggle in his heart.
No one can face death calmly, or maybe there is, but she seems to be a little timid and afraid of death, so she can't face it calmly.
She wants to live.
I want to see my parents alive, I want to accompany everyone to a new safe base alive, I want to see everyone I saw and died with in the last life alive.
But she doesn't have much time left.
But a whole night was enough for her to think carefully about how to embrace death.
As the sun sets, bright moonlight shines through the sky, bit by bit dispelling the scorching heat left over from the day.
Ji Wan slowly stood up from the bed.
Maintaining the same posture for a long time made her body stiff, but she didn't care. Instead, she slowly walked to the balcony in the moonlight.
The college students who didn't get up from 8 am to 9 pm and didn't have any way to pass the time by surfing the Internet, except for three people who were playing poker in the moonlight in another room, all the others who were supposed to be sleeping had gone to bed.
Ji Wan walked to the balcony, lowered his head and reached out to take off the jade pendant from his neck.
She knew how powerful this jade pendant was, but she had never used it once since her rebirth.
Because she has always suspected that the soul was awakened from this jade pendant, she even suspected that the zombies that suddenly appeared in this world were the work of the woman in this jade pendant.
Because she had just bought the jade pendant the night before, and the zombie outbreak happened the next day.
She couldn't even convince herself that the timing was a coincidence.
But so what? She couldn’t escape this fate. The first thing she did after she was reborn was to throw away the jade pendant. But after a night’s sleep, it strangely appeared beside her again, like a ghost that she couldn’t get rid of.
She also tried to destroy it in various ways, such as hitting it with stones, burning it with fire, but the jade pendant was not as fragile as it looked. After all her efforts, it did not even show the slightest bit of wear and tear.
Ji Wan looked down at the teardrop-shaped, clear and lustrous jade pendant in the moonlight, but his eyes gradually became resolute and cold.
Since Yuzhui insists on following her, let's die together.
Didn't that woman want to borrow her body? Let's see how she can use her body to deceive and fool others this time.
After all, the experiences in her previous life had engraved some hysterical madness and cruelty into Ji Wan's soul. She clutched the jade pendant tightly, looked back at the quiet hall in the dark and the few people resting on the sofa, pursed her lips, closed her eyes, and reached out to climb up the not-so-high balcony.
Ji Wan was swaying on the balcony in the night, like a lone goose with broken wings about to fall into the abyss.
Yun Mian looked at her sister through the silk thread, thought blankly for two seconds, and then without caring too much, she ran to the balcony barefoot, imitating her mother's actions that day, and tried hard to look up.
The system flew beside her, and the whole ball was so nervous that it hardly glowed.
Why did the heroine suddenly want to jump off the building? !
Even if, even if this is not the heroine from the first round, but... if the heroine dies, this world will really be completely over!
The task progress bar is still 0!
But the system did not dare to urge Yunmian to save people. At this time when their lives were hanging by a thread, it inexplicably had a hunch that if it spoke, it would scare the two children and make things worse.
So it could only fly in the air, watching in vain as Yunmian stood on tiptoe and tried for a long time but still couldn't reach the height of the balcony, let alone sticking its head out to talk to the people above.
Above him, Ji Wan closed his eyes, sniffed the faint stench in the night wind, and finally made up his mind. He leaned forward and fell straight to the ground with his head down.
The system shuddered with fear.
Yun Mian gritted her teeth and stepped barefoot into the flowerpot next to her, then lay on the balcony and stretched out her hands to try to catch the falling protagonist sister.
The whistling wind in my ears suddenly stopped.
Ji Wan opened his eyes blankly, and then found that not only did he not fall, and did not face the expected death and pain, but he was actually rising up little by little? ?
Ji Wan was a little confused.
She had seen many bizarre things in her past life, but she had never seen someone stop and rise again halfway through jumping off a building?!
Where is Mr. Niu's gravity? !
