For a moment, he suspected that he was possessed by Tian Yichuang.
On weekdays, it seems that nothing can arouse his strong emotional changes, and he rarely gets angry. Only Rong Xiao has this ability.
"It seems... not... right." Rong Xiao stared at the back of his hand for a while, then raised both hands high to show him.
Shangguan Yu turned on the flashlight and shone it on her hand: "Turn it over, and then look at her arm again."
The obedient Rong Xiao did everything she was told. As expected, there was nothing on her hands except a little blue stain, which disappeared with a gentle wipe.
"Don't you feel anything is wrong?" Shangguan Yu's tense shoulders relaxed and he flew towards her.
"No," Rong Xiao shook his head, touching his stomach. "I'm just a little hungry."
Shangguan Yu: “…” Please don’t say such things at this time!
Are you trying to scare people to death?
"Can we continue?" Shangguan Yu asked.
Rong Xiao looked at the back of his hand again, raised his head, and regained his previous excitement: "Okay!"
"Then... be careful," Shangguan Yu said, his tone unconsciously emphasizing, "If you get bitten and mutate, I won't care about you and will run away immediately."
"I know."
Rong Xiao continued to walk and stop on the street, following the route specified by Shangguan Yu, and successfully found at least 6 black boxes.
In order to prevent the box from being reused by the mastermind behind the scenes, Shangguan Yu signaled Rong Xiao to destroy it from high in the air.
With one kick, she crushed the black box into pieces.
Shangguan Yu had no intention of dismantling all the black boxes nearby. After all, those things were small, and Rong Xiao would have to be close enough to discover them. It would be too difficult to clear them all.
After checking several roads leading to the community, Shangguan Yu felt that he had done everything he needed to do and was ready to take Rong Xiao back.
After the black box was removed, the zombies wandering nearby seemed to have lost their guidance in an instant. They no longer rushed towards the community, but wandered around aimlessly.
Some even walked back the way they came, going further and further away.
Shangguan Yu carried Rong Xiao back to the top floor of the office building in the same way he came.
Zhu Shuo and Ertong were not there, nor was Long Qingyu, but all the others were present.
"How is it? Are you okay?" Tian Yichuang immediately sat up from his boss chair when he saw them coming back.
"It's okay." Rong Xiao shook his head lightly and went over to ask Ling Xi for food.
After all, they hadn't had time to eat dinner yet. Every day when it was time for dinner, Rong Xiao's stomach would growl with hunger. Now it was dark, and she still hadn't eaten pitifully.
Shangguan Yu took advantage of Rong Xiao eating and quietly moved to Shangguan Huai's side: "Pay attention to Rong Xiao."
"Huh? Why?"
"I suspect she was captured by zombies."
"Ah?!" Shangguan Huai screamed, attracting everyone's attention.
Shangguan Yu covered his mouth, and using his height advantage, he hooked Shangguan Huai's shoulder and led him aside: "Although there are no visible injuries on her body, I think it's a bit strange. Anyway, be careful."
"If... there's no mutation by tomorrow morning, then everything should be fine, right?"
"Maybe, maybe."
Shangguan Huai was almost crying: "Xiao Yu, can you give me a more stable answer?"
"No," Shangguan Yu ruthlessly denied. "Find a chance to tell the others to be careful."
Shangguan Huai nodded and found an opportunity to tell others about this.
Tian Yichuang was stunned on the spot, Ling Xi almost cried, and she grabbed him to confirm it several times.
Finally, he went to Shangguan Yu for confirmation.
Shangguan Yu explained the situation at that time, and Lingxi also felt that things did not sound that simple.
The others all kept a distance from Rong Xiao. After all, she was the most powerful fighter in the team. Now that she had not mutated, it was not appropriate to take isolation measures.
"Are you full? Xiaoxiao, do you want to eat something else?" Ling Xi not only did not keep a distance, but walked forward, sat cross-legged next to Rong Xiao, raised her hand and gently touched her head.
She didn't know why, but every time she touched Rong Xiao's head, Rong Xiao would squint his eyes, and even when he was eating, he would smile happily at her.
When Lingxi thought that she might never see that kind of smile again, her heart was broken. Tears welled up in her eyes several times, but she tried hard to hold them back.
Don’t cry, don’t scare Rong Xiao.
"Sister Xi, I want to eat some jelly, is that okay?" Rong Xiao asked eagerly.
"Sure, what flavor do you want?"
"……strawberry!"
Lingxi took out some jelly and gave it to her. She watched Rongxiao take spoonful after spoonful with satisfaction, and finally bit off most of it as if he was eating a steamed bun.
After finally eating, Rong Xiao raised his head and found that everyone in the room was looking at him: "What's wrong? Did I accidentally eat your food?"
"No, no." Shangguan Huai shook his head timidly.
"By the way, where is Brother Long? And Zhu Shuo and the others, are they going to kill zombies? I want to go too!" Clapping his hands, Rong Xiao drew out his big knife and smiled faintly, but the shape was weird and scary.
Especially Shangguan Huai, who felt as if he was about to be sacrificed, and hid behind.
"Brother Long just arranged everyone's tasks," Tian Yichuan was the first to recover his composure and began to relay Long Qingyu's instructions before he left. "I'll go to the rooftop closest to the community and help them stabilize the front line at any time. Dahuai will go inside the community to ensure that if the wall is breached, no one will die from unexpected events other than mutations. Lingxi and Rongxiao will be responsible for collecting supplies. I've given you the list. As for Shangguan... well, he'll be responsible for transportation."
Shangguan Yu looked numb and said, "I knew it." He folded his hands and glanced coldly at Rong Xiao.
At least I don't have to deal with that time bomb, so I'm... lucky?
"Wow, Sister Xi! This is our first time doing a mission together!" Rong Xiao was excited, and Ling Xi was also excited. At least she could watch this girl the whole time.
If Rong Xiao continued to follow Shangguan Yu, she was really afraid that if Rong Xiao behaved a little differently from usual, he would think that he was about to mutate. What if he acted on impulse... Although he might not be able to kill Rong Xiao, it would not be good for anyone if unnecessary damage was caused.
"Alright, split up," Tian Yichuan clapped his hands, signaling everyone to take their positions. "When you need Shangguan, just turn on the flashlight to show the direction. Shangguan needs to pay attention."
"Oh." Shangguan Yu said in a muffled voice.
It wasn't a firm agreement, and the voice wasn't strong, but this was Shangguan Yu's usual style, and no one was surprised.
Although Tian Yichuang hated his half-hearted look, he had to admit that Shangguan Yu was always reliable and never let down his team.
"Let's go, let's go." Ling Xi took Rong Xiao out first.
When they arrived at the street, Rong Xiao was responsible for protecting Ling Xi, while Ling Xi only needed to collect all the items on the list, as many as she wanted.
Rong Xiao used his supernatural powers to transfer the gasoline from the roadside and put it in a plastic barrel. Ling Xi immediately took over and put it into the space.
Large pieces of glass, cut-resistant gloves, ordinary gloves, elastic bands from sporting goods stores, slingshots from toy stores, all metal, sharp long-handled objects, anything that could be used as a weapon was stuffed into the space by Ling Xi.
Ling Xi and Rong Xiao quickly searched several nearby streets, but found nothing else for the time being, so Ling Xi turned on the flashlight in her hand.
Less than five minutes later, Shangguan Yu descended from the sky, glanced at Rong Xiao beside him, and said, "I can only take one person with me."
"I'll wait here, you guys go quickly!" Rong Xiao nodded without any hesitation.
Ling Xi's face was filled with the worry of an old mother. "Then please don't run around. Just wait for us here, or... you can find a safe place nearby to hide and wait. Be careful. We... hey hey hey?"
Without waiting for her to finish, Shangguan Yu picked her up and left. Soon, Ling Xi was left with only a thin black shadow in the air.
Rong Xiao was left alone there.
She looked to the left and then to the right, and suddenly a zombie came out from behind her, howling.
With a slight sigh, Rong Xiao picked up the trash can on the ground and pushed the zombie into the abandoned vehicle next to him.
"Hey, I'm so bored. Can you chat with me for a while?" Rong Xiao stood beside the car and talked to the zombies inside.
"Ahhhh."
"Do you think Zhu Shuo and the others can make it?"
“Ah…”
"I also hope they can make it, but it seems difficult. If..." A familiar face suddenly appeared in front of him. Rong Xiao took out the apple he hadn't eaten yet from his backpack. "If only Yan Jue was here. There's Bei Ran in their team with earth-related abilities who can reinforce the wall. Yan Jue can also use metal..."
"Ahhhh."
Rong Xiao felt bored as he spoke, so he wiped the apple with his sleeve and took a light bite.
The apples have been stored for quite some time and are slightly wrinkled on the surface, but they are sweet and delicious, a rare delicacy in the end times.
For fear of wasting the flesh, Rong Xiao only spit out the seeds and ate the rest, leaving nothing behind.
Thinking of the vegetables planted in the community, Rong Xiao carefully collected the apple seeds and put them in his pocket. Suddenly, there was a loud bang not far away, as if something heavy had collapsed.
Could it be the wall...
Rong Xiao was stunned and rushed over there.
A fire line has been set outside the wall, but there seems to be not enough gasoline, so it can only take care of the side with the most zombies.
The wall on the left that had a crack before has collapsed halfway inward, and the zombies outside are all rushing in.
Some people inside the wall were injured by the collapsed rocks.
Rong Xiao saw Zhu Shuo and Er Tong through the gap. They were helping to clear the stones that were pressing on the injured person, and Shangguan Huai was using his special powers to help with the treatment.
After finally digging out a gap, the zombies rushed towards the gap even more excitedly. There were too many of them and they were stuck in the gap, giving the defenders the opportunity to deal with them.
"No, we can't let the zombies in. Let's use the method we agreed on before."
Kong Jiaming walked out with a serious expression, raised his hand and patted Zhu Shuo, who had a desperate expression.
But his words made another kind of fear emerge in Zhu Shuo's eyes.
"Brother Jiaming, no, it's not time yet!"
"If we really wait until then, it will be too late." Kong Jiaming was holding a non-motorized vehicle helmet in his hand, with something tied to his body and dripping sound. "Let's push the zombies out before they mutate. You guys hurry up and repair the gap. It should buy us a lot of time."
"No, no..." Zhu Shuo grabbed Kong Jiaming tightly, but his fingers were pried apart one by one by strong hands.
