◎The binding was very strong, she couldn't break free.◎
The speed was fast and accurate, and the supernatural power released by the frightened Mimiyan missed, and the lightning hit the trash can next to it, and the trash can instantly turned into a ball of charcoal.
"Let's go!" Shangguan Yu threw the box in his hand backwards.
Long Qingyu took it steadily, and moved away with the box, leaving the original space empty.
Rong Xiao's speed was so fast that it seemed as if there was no outline. She hooked her hands around Shangguan Yu's chest and carried him directly out of the bubble barrier like hanging a piece of clothing.
Crackling——
The sound of lightning hitting his ears was so sharp that it hurt, and the strong light made it impossible for people nearby to open their eyes. Long Qingyu, who was closest to him, covered his face with his elbow. When the surroundings became quiet, he moved his arm away. Rong Xiao was standing in front of him, dragging Shangguan Yu.
Both of them were unharmed, but Shangguan Yu's face didn't look very good and he looked a little irritable.
"Can you try to be more friendly next time?" Shangguan Yu struggled to get up and stand firmly, his face flushed as he lowered his head to tidy himself up.
The last time she caught Shangguan Huai dodging bullets, she knew how to grab his hat and switch it to him, hooking it around his chest and dragging him out like she was putting on clothes.
The movements were quick, and he fulfilled his request perfectly, but that posture...
Shangguan Yu glanced at them with a sullen face and found that the others nearby were already laughing.
Rong Xiao completely ignored their laughter and nodded with satisfaction as he watched the progress bar moving forward.
"Xiao Yu, when you were brought out just now, you looked like a coat," Shangguan Huai was the first to laugh the loudest. "I told you to eat more, eat more. You're almost as thick as a coat, and you're too skinny."
Tian Yichuan chuckled, unable to suppress his laughter, and patted Shangguan Huai's shoulder vigorously: "It doesn't matter. After all, he's quite tall, and at least he's wearing an extra-long windbreaker."
"Hahahahahahaha, you guys are going too far," Ling Xi punched with her left hand and slapped with her right hand, her words completely different from her expression. "Hahahahaha, stop laughing at me, we have business to attend to now!"
Squinty-eyed and the octopus man had already pounced on the bubble barrier. No matter how hard they hit it, the barrier remained hard and unbreakable, blocking them from escaping.
He took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes and forced a smile: "What do you want? We can negotiate any conditions, but the box must be returned to us."
Shangguan Yu looked up with dissatisfaction, and the look in his eyes made the narrowed-eyed and octopus man's hearts skip a beat.
Those eyes seemed to convey a lot of information silently. Even though he didn't say anything, the two of them felt a sudden chill behind them, as if a pair of cold ghost hands were stroking their backs.
She squinted her eyes, bit her lip, took a few steps back, and without paying any attention to the octopus man beside her, she used her supernatural power to shoot at the barrier.
The lightning flickered continuously, and Rong Xiao stared at it stupidly for a while. Suddenly, a pair of hands covered her eyes and took her to the open space nearby.
The hand was warm, and the movement of covering her eyes was light and gentle. The voice beside her ear spoke with a smile: "Don't look at the strong light, it's not good for your eyes."
"Have you completed your mission?" Even without seeing his face, Rong Xiao already knew that it was Yan Jue. He grabbed his hand away, and a plastic box that made noises appeared in front of him.
Yan Jue smiled and handed her the box: "It's done, this is something good I found, chocolate balls, have you tried it?"
"No! Is it sweet? I remember... chocolate is sweet!" Rong Xiao was about to open it when Yan Jue clapped his hands to stop him.
He looked at the squinting eyes and the octopus man who were glaring at him fiercely, and deliberately pointed at the box in Long Qingyu's hand: "What's in this? I'm so curious, can I open it and take a look?"
After saying that, Yan Jue's gaze drifted past Shangguan Yu, as if he was curious about why he would think of turning back to grab the box.
The gazes around him were very cautious, even pretending to pass by him occasionally. Shangguan Yu could feel it clearly.
Shangguan Yu took the box from Long Qingyu and patted it on the surface. Without looking up, he said, "If their mission had been completed, they wouldn't be so nervous. If they had, and we took the box, at most we wouldn't be able to get the items they needed. That squinty-eyed guy is a lightning-type esper. You can tell he's very confident in his abilities. How could he be so nervous just because he didn't get the items he needed? Even if he's upset that we stole their things, he should be more angry, not... a kind of unconcealable cautiousness."
Yan Jue smiled and seemed to agree with Shangguan Yu's analysis. Communication between smart people is very simple and does not require too many questions and words.
Even a glance or a small gesture can be easily understood.
"Besides, I know you're coming," Shangguan Yu said with a nonchalant smile, "Even if we can't handle it, you'll still help for Rong Xiao's sake. Those two guys rely on their powerful abilities, so the things they need must be useful and good, not garbage."
"Oh, you really understand me." Yan Jue said in a strange and exaggerated voice.
Shangguan Yu's smile was unkind: "That's true, but our Rong Xiao is also very capable and doesn't really need your help."
"You're being so formal," Yan Jue patted Shangguan Yu's shoulder in a familiar manner, but he let go of his hand. "We're old friends, there's no need to distinguish between you and us. Good brothers are like family, right?"
"Come, let's open it and see what good stuff is inside." Shangguan Yu ignored him and smiled as he looked up at the squinting-eyed and angry octopus man lying on the barrier. He was so sinister that even his companions around him couldn't help but want to move aside.
He deliberately adjusted the position of the box so that the two people trapped inside could see what good things were inside.
No matter how the squinting eyes used their special powers to chop, or how the octopus man used things to smash, the barrier remained solid and intact.
The lightning power was like lighting a lamp, making the box brighter and clearer.
The box this group had was larger than the one they had received, and it was filled with a bunch of stuff, which was bulletproof vests.
"Brother Long, it's a bulletproof vest!" Ling Xi was shocked at first, then saw Shangguan Yu pull out two other things from inside. "Holy shit, there's also a car key! Is there still a car to drive??"
After he finished speaking, Shangguan Yu tried to press the car key, and a van on the side of the road made a "biu" sound and flashed its lights.
"You actually have a car..." Yan Jue's face was full of envy, and his shrewd eyes seemed to be calculating something. Rong Xiao suddenly bumped into his sight, extinguishing the trace of bad intention that was bubbling up in his mind.
Shangguan Yu retracted the hand that pushed the person, as if he had calculated that Yan Jue was going to fall for it, and used Rong Xiao to stop his evil thoughts in time.
Having had contact with him before, Shangguan Yu knew that everyone in Yan Jue's team was very strong, and it would be easy to obtain some items unless the objective conditions were very difficult to come by.
A car that can be driven normally is indeed very tempting, not to mention that they are planning to go to Yidong City.
If you have a car, or a van that can seat six people, it is at least easier than walking.
The squinty-eyed and octopus-man next to them were so angry that their eyes turned red. Even though their lips were trembling, they controlled their temper and asked Shangguan Yu in a gentle voice to throw the box in and let them try to get out.
Shangguan Yu handed the things he had found to Long Qingyu, glanced at the box on the ground with a half-smile, and kicked it in a farther direction.
That look was clearly a provocation. Squinty Eyes and Octopus Man had hurt them a lot before. Although leading the zombies into the room accidentally helped them complete the task, they deliberately used electricity to electrify all the metal in the room, clearly wanting to kill them all in Room 6174.
Shangguan Yu would not show any kindness to those who wanted to kill him.
"Oh, how can you be so cruel? There are two lives at stake!" Tian Yichuang walked over and scolded, raised his hands to hug Shangguan Yu's shoulders, and accidentally kicked the box farther away.
His previously cool, narrowed eyes could no longer hold back, and he stared intently at the box, his hands scratching haphazardly at the barrier.
Ling Xi slapped her thigh, put the knife behind her, and leaned forward to say seriously: "You're right, don't be too extreme in life, just be good enough, right?"
As she approached, the box was pushed further away.
Yan Jue smiled, then pulled Rong Xiao mysteriously and said, "Let's play a game. If you win, I'll give you this super delicious hazelnut chocolate. How about that?"
As soon as he heard about the game, Rong Xiao immediately became excited: "Okay, okay, what should we compete in?"
"Who of us can kick the box farther?"
After Yan Jue finished speaking, the two people lying on the barrier gasped, and their previous threatening and fierce tone changed to a humble and pleading tone.
But no matter what they said, Yan Jue still moved his hands and feet and walked to the box. Without any unnecessary preparation, he raised his foot and kicked it -
The box flew more than ten meters away.
The two of them swallowed and almost burst into tears.
When it was Rong Xiao's turn, she happily did a few squats as a warm-up. In order to win back the chocolate, she kicked with all her strength!
In her eyes filled with a desire to win, the reflection of the box flying away became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared in some unknown corner.
Yan Jue clapped his hands in a sly manner: "Wow, that's amazing! I lose, the chocolate is yours!"
"Stop playing around, we have to leave," Shangguan Yu walked up and patted Rong Xiao on the shoulder, then walked towards the van nearby. "Mr. Yan over there, I'm afraid there isn't enough room in our van. Bye."
"Wait a minute, I have prepared something interesting." As he said that, Yan Jue took out a small notebook and handed it to Rong Xiao, repeatedly telling her not to open it until an hour later.
After watching the van drive away and inhaling its exhaust fumes, Bei Ran leaned over to speak to Yan Jue with particular discernment: "Brother Jue, do you know them?"
"Yes." Yan Jue stared intently at the direction the car left without turning his head.
"Oh, luckily my rescue was not in vain. I saw them in trouble before, so I used my superpower, but my superpower... needs to cool down. After using it, it took a long time to cool down. I was scared to death. Fortunately... fortunately, Brother Jue came!"
Su Ming: "Hey, hey, hey, I'm here too. Do you think I'm dead?"
Bei Ran ignored Su Ming, secretly made a face, and only spoke to Yan Jue: "Brother Jue, have I passed the test? My mission is completed!"
Bei Ranke knew very well that Su Ming had many complaints against Yan Jue, but Brother Jue was his savior, so he would not talk to someone like Su Ming who was not a fellow traveler.
"Oh, you saved them," Yan Jue's gaze finally shifted to him, which made Bei Ran suddenly proud. He puffed out his chest, his eyes shining. "Okay, go back. You are one of us now. You are great."
"Hey!!" Su Ming shouted, "Who allowed you to make this decision?"
"Are you stupid?" Yan Jue turned his head and gave him a slapping look. "Before Xu Ting asked me to rescue him, he had already decided to let Bei Ran stay with us temporarily."
Su Ming: "..." Not daring to refute the captain's decision, he decided to keep his mouth shut.
But when Yan Jue said this, it sounded so annoying.
The van that was leaving was driving very slowly. There were many obstacles on the road, and it couldn't speed up as it kept going around in circles.
Rong Xiao held the thing Yan Jue gave him for a long time. When the time was almost up, he opened the package and found out that it was a notebook.
She was very familiar with the cover of that notebook. It was exactly the same as the cover of the notebook that Teacher Mosaic gave her in her dream.
Gently stroking the cover with her fingers, Rong Xiao suddenly thought of the scene in her dream. The excitement in her heart did not make her open the book immediately. Instead, she hesitated and waited for a while before opening it carefully as if it were a gift she cherished.
On the first page of the notebook, a cute Q-version character was drawn in pencil. The character was dressed exactly like Yan Jue, but his style had nothing to do with him.
He looks absolutely nothing like "cute". The little man has his characteristics, but is round and cute, lying on a round ball in a particularly adorable way. There is a dialogue box next to his head: I draw, you guess!
"Oh my god, is this the notebook Yan Jue gave you?" Rong Xiao and Tian Yichuan were sitting in the front and back seats. He only needed to lean forward to see the situation in Rong Xiao's seat. With a serious expression, he reached out and turned back to the cover. "He drew this himself, right? I didn't expect he could actually draw, and...he draws really well."
"Hey, don't move. That's Rong Xiao's thing." Ling Xi, who was sitting next to Rong Xiao, slapped Tian Yichuang's hands hard several times until he obediently retracted his claws.
The claws were retracted obediently, but Tian Yichuan's head popped between the two chairs again: "Lingxi, do you think that Yan Jue has been trying to get close to Rong Xiao? It must be a bit..."
"It's normal," Ling Xi raised her hand and touched Rong Xiao's head, smiling proudly, "Our Rong Xiao is beautiful and so capable, it's normal for her to like her! Otherwise, does she like you?"
"...Is this what Yan Jue meant?" Tian Yichuan scratched his head. "I always feel like he has some conspiracy."
Ling Xi held up her head and looked at him as if he were a fool: "Brother Chuan, maybe you should learn something about love?"
"Tsk, not really interested. It's the end of the world. It's good enough to be alive!" Tian Yichuang instantly lost interest in gossip. He sat back with his hands folded, leaned his head on the back of the chair and prepared to sleep.
"By the way, did you discover anything during this mission?" Shangguan Huai looked at his younger brother, wanting to hear his new discoveries.
Shangguan Yu's tone was calm, without any emotional fluctuations. "I guess, random missions can get rewards in advance, and then complete designated tasks, but whether you can survive and leave the bubble with the rewards depends on your ability."
"Thinking about it this way, although random tasks are more likely to lead to difficult tasks, being able to get rewards in advance can also be considered a special advantage?" Shangguan Huai was as happy as a child, and was about to give a thumbs up to his best brother with a proud look on his face. However, Shangguan Yu ignored him and closed his eyes to take a nap.
Rong Xiao in the front row listened to their conversation with his ear tilted, then turned his attention to the notebook given by Yan Jue.
"Rong Xiao, don't read it while you're in the car. Read it at night." Ling Xi closed the notebook, took out a U-shaped pillow from the space and put it on Rong Xiao's neck. "Go get some sleep."
The vehicle was shaking rhythmically, and the feeling was like hypnosis, making Rong Xiao gradually feel sleepy.
There were many obstacles on the road, so the car couldn't speed up and could only move forward slowly and smoothly.
Unless he encounters a newly mutated zombie chasing his vehicle, Long Qingyu will suddenly speed up and bypass it, trying to drive on a wider road.
After falling asleep, the deserted city appeared in Rong Xiao's dream again.
Or perhaps it should be said that every time she fell asleep she would appear in the same place, as if her dreams were woven out of this city.
The city that stretches as far as the eye can see seems to be similar to the reality, with towering buildings and messy streets. The only difference is... in the dream, it is always cloudy and there is no sunshine, no zombies, no blood, and no one else except Mr. Mosaic.
By the way, Mr. Mosaic!
Rong Xiao rushed to the cafe where they always met. It was quiet and there was no one inside.
Rong Xiao moved away from the seat he always sat in class, lay on the table, opened the notebook he had left behind and started sketching on it.
Waiting for someone felt so boring, and she suddenly thought of the Q-version figurine she saw just before falling asleep, the cute doll that looked very similar to Yan Jue, but with a completely different style of painting.
Rong Xiao held a half-broken pencil and drew on the notebook based on her memory. Although her drawing was crooked, one could barely recognize what she was drawing.
After drawing on the table for a long time, Rong Xiao looked out the window from time to time, but Mr. Mosaic never showed up.
In the past, when she fell asleep, she would see Teacher Mosaic waiting for her here. Even if he was late occasionally, he would never be away for so long.
But recently, I haven't met Mosaic Teacher in my dreams for two consecutive times. The tacit understanding and rules that have always existed have been broken, making Rong Xiao feel a little uneasy.
The city outside was shrouded in dark clouds. Rong Xiao was in no mood to paint. He held his chin and looked for a while, when suddenly an idea he had never had before came to him.
Anyway, Teacher Mosaic didn't come, and she had never really explored the city, so why not take this opportunity to... go and take a look?
Turning to a new page in the notebook in front of him, Rong Xiao wrote a crooked message to Teacher Mosaic on it, saying that he was going for a walk nearby and would be back soon.
There is rarely any wind in this world. When fallen leaves hit the ground, they make a crisp, crunching sound every time Rong Xiao steps on them.
There were abandoned cars and thrown away schoolbags on the streets, and messy things scattered everywhere.
Rong Xiao walked along the main road towards a place she had never been to. Although the city looked big, there were closed doors everywhere, and there were not many places she could enter smoothly.
The floor-to-ceiling windows of the shops on both sides are intact, completely different from reality.
The weather was gloomy and dark, so that all I could see was darkness.
Rong Xiao walked for about half an hour and didn't find any other place to enter. She suddenly thought of the cafe where she met Teacher Mosaic.
There was the only place she had ever seen where the door was open and allowed her to enter.
It was more accurate to say that the first time Rong Xiao saw the open door of the cafe, it seemed as if it was inviting her in rather than allowing her to enter.
She took a deep breath, turned around and took the small path on the left. She should be able to return to the cafe from here. She had already seen enough of the area nearby. In case Mr. Mosaic had already arrived, she didn't want to make anyone wait too long.
There are eaves on the higher parts of the path, making the alley even darker.
Rong Xiao quickened his pace and walked through, and his peripheral vision was suddenly attracted by a sudden flash of light.
In her dream, she saw light other than moonlight for the first time.
The light reminded Rong Xiao of the mobile phone he had played with before. It was faint but had an unignorable presence.
Stopping, Rong Xiao looked up at the billboard high up. It was a video game store!
There were quite a few machines inside, and one of them was a game console that was actually on and stopped on an unclear interface. It looked different from the other machines.
It seemed to be tempting her to come in.
The shop door was closed. Rong Xiao thought it would take some effort to open it, but as soon as she approached, the door automatically opened to the right.
After she stepped in, the door closed automatically, as if welcoming her as the only guest.
The lit game console suddenly emitted cheerful music, and the cartoon characters on the screen began to jump, as if reading some data.
A beam of white light suddenly lit up from the top of the game console, blinding her eyes.
Rong Xiao raised his hand to block it, squinted his eyes and stepped aside, and found that the screen had entered the reading mode and a loading progress bar popped up.
The color and shape of the progress bar... are exactly the same as what she usually sees in the real world!
Is this a coincidence?
Even if it's just a coincidence, it's a special coincidence that piques people's curiosity.
Rong Xiao became interested in the machine and stopped to observe the image on the screen.
Soon the screen returned to normal, and what was displayed on it looked very much like the panel of a game character, detailed and clear, except... in the name and avatar columns, it was clearly her!
In addition to her height, weight, name, avatar and other information, the interface also has a special attribute panel.
The first category panel simply noted Rong Xiao's physical advantages, such as: quick reaction speed, strong attack power, etc. These statements were very abstract. Rong Xiao didn't recognize some of the words, and he recognized some of the words but couldn't understand them after they were formed into words.
She skipped over the seemingly insignificant part and her attention was drawn to the power section next to it that read "+1".
When the panel was opened, a new superpower was displayed: telekinesis.
Rong Xiao knew all these words, even though they were not easy to understand when put together. But after she explained the meaning of each word separately and then put them together again, she roughly understood the function of this special ability.
Move objects without touching them!
Although it doesn't sound very cool, it played a big role when I suddenly woke up in the bubble before.
Rong Xiao excitedly lay on the game console, gesturing with his fingers in the air, carefully and curiously checking every piece of information displayed below.
【Telekinesis】lv.1
Super level burst probability: 2.3%
Current status: Moving small items, ability triggering is not stable enough.
Next to the level, there is a progress bar ①, and there is a larger progress bar ② at the bottom of the screen with many numbers on it.
Rong Xiao clicked on the level bar description and found out that the number on the progress bar ① next to the level was the number of zombies she had killed. Once she killed a certain number of zombies, she could level up, which would allow her to control her superpowers more skillfully and control larger objects.
With each upgrade, the level of the ability will gradually increase.
The superpowers will become more and more powerful.
According to the numbers, she needs to kill 14 more zombies to upgrade her "telekinesis" ability to level 2, allowing her to control larger objects and her proficiency will also increase.
As for progress bar ②, there is no clear explanation.
Rong Xiao couldn't figure out what it was based on to get the progress.
It's at the very bottom of the screen and doesn't seem to have anything to do with your level of telekinesis.
At the end of progress bar ② there is a new gift box waiting to be opened.
Rong Xiao suddenly thought of something and almost leaned over the machine to take a closer look: "Could it be that after progress bar ② is full, a new superpower can be unlocked?"
There is a box at the bottom of the screen, which shows the changes in all the data about Rong Xiao, including the time when his superpowers awaken.
According to the time when "Telekinesis" appeared, it was exactly after her last progress bar was full and the gift box was opened.
He randomly tapped the screen with his fingers and used the joystick to try to open the instructions for the progress bar ②, but Rong Xiao found that this progress bar seemed like a bug that was added out of thin air, and there was really no relevant instructions.
Even though it looked the same as the progress bar he saw in reality, Rong Xiao was still unsure of its true rules.
However, every time the "game" was triggered, she successfully completed the task and the progress bar would move forward a little. The progress was different each time, as if it varied according to the difficulty of the "game".
"squeak--"
The sudden voice was like a hand, pulling Rong Xiao out of his dream.
His body was thrown forward by inertia and then pulled back to its original position by the seat belt. A slight dizziness woke Rong Xiao from his dream.
She opened her eyes and saw a large group of zombies rushing towards her at the entrance of the street ahead.
Long Qingyu braked suddenly and turned around, turning to another small road on the right. Shangguan Huai next to him was looking at a hastily drawn stick figure map, showing him the way.
Although the road here is very narrow, there are no extra scrapped vehicles blocking the way, so we quickly turned onto another road and continued along the new route.
"Let's find a place to rest for a while?" Shangguan Huai suggested in the afternoon, stroking his rumbling stomach. "It's almost dark, so let's find a place to spend the night before it gets dark."
The road conditions in the city are very bad, and sometimes there are cars and debris blocking the road, and they have to stop to clear them.
After driving slowly for a whole day, we still hadn't left Zhizhou City.
Long Qingyu looked at the tall buildings around him. Inside the office building, there were zombies in suits lying on the floor-to-ceiling windows and scratching at them. There were also zombies in the small shop next to it who were desperately beating the zombies to get out. It seemed that no place was safe.
Slowing down the car, Long Qingyu put one hand on the car window and looked sideways at the environment outside, as if he was choosing a suitable place to spend the night.
It was almost dusk when the car drove into the parking lot of a small restaurant with a sign saying "Under Renovation".
After entering, Long Qingyu did not get out of the car immediately. He observed the general environment in the car and waited for a few minutes before turning off the car.
The parking lot of the small hotel has two doors, front and back. The back door is temporarily closed. There is a small path outside, and the two doors are facing each other.
In order to facilitate leaving in an emergency, Long Qingyu parked the car in the open space on the left side of the entrance, asked Shangguan Huai and Ling Xi to temporarily cover the door, and the others went into the small building with weapons to check the situation.
Shangguan Yu walked at the end. He had no interest in things like killing zombies and exploring the way. He was only willing to do things that only required thinking.
After the previous operations, Rong Xiao also became the main combat force. She followed behind Long Qingyu, holding the iron hook in her hand, and followed everyone's serious look to check the rooms upstairs one by one.
"There should be people in this small restaurant." After saying that, Shangguan Yu pointed to two pieces of clothes drying on the balcony on the second floor.
One of the white coats was covered in mud and dust, and it was obvious that it had been hanging outside for a long time.
The other black T-shirt is very clean. It is a women's style and it looks like it has been exposed to the sun not long ago.
It’s hard to say whether it’s a living person or a zombie.
Shangguan Yu raised his hand and touched it. It had been cloudy recently, with little sunshine, and his clothes were a little wet.
"Bang--"
The door on the left suddenly opened, and it was like a wild beast rushing out at an extremely fast speed.
Rong Xiao was walking in front. The moment the sound was heard, his body reacted in advance. He jumped up and stepped hard on the balcony handrail to gain leverage. His body slammed hard against the door panel, trapping a bloody hand that was trying to reach out in the crack of the door.
The zombie's horrifying face flashed before his eyes, making Shangguan Yu's heart beat like a roller coaster. When he came to his senses, the zombie had been pinned down by Rong Xiao in front of him with the door panel.
The poor hand was stuck in the crack of the door, and the screams in the room never stopped.
For some reason, Shangguan Yu suddenly felt that the zombie was quite pitiful.
Just like an actor who was kicked off the stage just after entering the stage and had no chance to show his face, the blame lies in Rong Xiao's speed and movements being too fast and violent.
Long Qingyu calmly pulled out the axe from his back and signaled Rong Xiao to let go and let the zombies inside come out.
Nodding, Rong Xiao quickly let go and jumped onto the concrete handrail, leaving space for Long Qingyu to perform.
With a raised axe, the zombie that rushed out was hit directly, and the roaring sound stopped abruptly.
The zombie had long hair and a face covered in blood. It should be a woman. Judging from her figure... the clothes drying on the balcony should be hers.
Shangguan Yu, who was afraid of being splashed with blood, had already retreated to the corner at the back. He waited until it was over before he tiptoed and chose a place to step over.
"Be careful, there may be other zombies that have not been discovered."
The store has two floors and is quite spacious. The second floor is a hall filled with tables and chairs. It is dark and empty except for some dead objects, and even the footsteps echo.
Long Qingyu cleaned the private room on the second floor, closed the door again, and walked towards the hall next door.
There is a bar on the left, which must have been looted. There are a lot of debris scattered around, and all the drinks are gone, only some empty bottles.
The kitchen was not far away. Long Qingyu held a gun in one hand and an axe in the other, while Tian Yichuang squatted down to check under the table, fearing that there was something hiding in an invisible place.
Fortunately, the hall was peaceful, and there were no zombies or living people in the kitchen next door. The only zombie left during the entire meal was the one that had been killed.
"Let's rest here for tonight. Let Lingxi and the others lock the door first." Long Qingyu locked the unused space and only left a few private rooms on the second floor for rest at night.
After dusk, it gets dark quickly. The window of the box faces inward, so any light would not be too obvious.
Ling Xi took out a rechargeable desk lamp from the space and turned it on, then distributed food to everyone: "Eat early and go to bed. I'll be the first one tonight. I slept in the car all the way today. Brother Long, you drive, and you can get more sleep tonight."
After taking a bite of the fish with fermented black beans out of the can, Long Qingyu found that the self-heating rice he had just cooked was ready. When he opened the lid, the fragrant aroma filled the room.
The three private rooms on the second floor all have sofas, carpets on the floor, and leather-covered chairs, all pushed together to form a bed.
After dinner, it was so dark outside that I couldn’t see anything. Only occasionally some zombies would pass by screaming.
Rong Xiao still shared a room with Ling Xi, but Ling Xi had to keep watch at night, so she moved a stool to the entrance of the second-floor balcony so that she could observe the situation at the shop entrance and the street outside.
In the past, Rong Xiao would feel sleepy after eating, but he almost never suffered from insomnia. Perhaps he was a heartless person who would never be disturbed by worries.
But for some reason tonight, she felt her eyelids were heavy, but she kept waking up from sleepiness, as if she could not sleep well.
I couldn't even dream, let alone enter the city in my dream.
Every time I was about to fall asleep, I was forcibly awakened by an indescribable feeling.
The wind was so strong outside the window that it made the windows rattle, as if a female ghost was howling outside.
Rong Xiao tugged at the quilt and was about to turn over when suddenly a faint light flickered outside the window. Almost instantly, she turned over from the sofa. The light penetrated the glass and directly hit the back of the sofa.
The familiar blue syringe appeared again, and the sense of crisis that she had almost forgotten surged in her blood again.
The glass was shattered all over the floor, and every time Rong Xiao took a step back, there was a teeth-grinding sound.
Rong Xiao looked towards the door. With such a loud noise, the other people next door must have woken up early, and Ling Xi must have heard it as well.
But it was very quiet outside the door, so quiet that her heart began to tremble uneasy.
My teammates are usually very cautious, so it makes no sense that they wouldn't wake up after something like this, unless...
The feeling of being targeted had not yet disappeared, and if she wanted to open the door, she had to pass by the window.
"Sister Xi?"
There was no response from outside the door. Rong Xiao even smelled a faint scent of blood. She didn't care about being targeted again and rushed straight to the door.
A cold light flashed through the window again, and a glowing object pierced the door panel.
It was not a blue syringe, but a thicker cylindrical object. After being nailed to the door panel, it suddenly sprayed out a cloud of gas. The smoke spread into a mushroom-like shape, immediately surrounding Rong Xiao.
The gas penetrated into his body with his breathing. Even if he only inhaled a small amount, Rong Xiao's brain became dull and heavy in an instant.
An irresistible feeling of sleepiness and weakness soon invaded my limbs.
Before closing her eyes, she saw that the sky outside was very dark and there was no moonlight tonight.
…
bite.
Ding ding.
The crisp sound of metal collision pierced his ears, making Rong Xiao's chaotic mind a little clearer.
My head hurts and feels heavy, as if I had slept for a long time without dreaming, but my brain didn't get any rest, as if all the strength had been drained away.
Rong Xiao rolled her eyes, and the strong light pierced her vision, making her close her eyes tightly and not want to open them.
"Hey, is it really okay to tie it like this?"
"Don't worry, these bindings are very strong, she can't break free."
"But if you have super powers, it should be easy to open it."
"Yuan Yi met her before and said she doesn't have any special abilities, so it's fine." The sound of metal clashing rang out again, and the strangers' conversation drifted off into the distance. "Yuan Yi will come to check on her again later to make sure she hasn't awakened any special abilities. Until then, regularly injecting her with blue medicine will keep her asleep."

Since the day she lost her memory and woke up in a pile of corpses, she has been able to deal with all dangers with ease and has never been in a desperate situation where she was controlled by others.
