◎Why not just join?◎
Rong Xiao had already walked past the living balcony and was not interested in the washing machine, but the sound of the zombie jumping out immediately attracted her attention. In a flash, she grabbed his collar from behind and threw him back out of the balcony.
The zombie fell to the ground, howling as it got up and tried to attack again, but the balcony door was ruthlessly closed by Rong Xiao.
The living balcony is at the innermost corner and is L-shaped. If you just put things in the cupboard, you won’t notice that there is a balcony there.
"What's wrong?" There was a lot of noise in the kitchen, and Long Qingyu walked in with an axe.
Rong Xiao pointed at the balcony next to him and made faces at the grinning zombies inside.
Long Qingyu: “…”
If you don't look at the zombies over there, Rong Xiao's relaxed and casual look makes him look like he is playing hide-and-seek with ordinary people, with no fear in his eyes.
Ling Xi, who was standing by the door, wasn't in such a good state. She covered her chest, her breathing rising and falling heavily. After a long while, she stammered, "It was Rong Xiao, it was Rong Xiao who saved me! Damn it, I didn't even see there was a balcony over there!"
Long Qingyu ignored the zombies hitting the glass door and saw blood on the handrail of the balcony outside. There was also blood on the handrail of the balcony of the neighbor's house not far away.
The blood extended from the inner room opposite to the balcony handrail, and then to the small balcony on this side.
It looks like the resident next door was bitten by a zombie and crawled over here before he mutated.
Seeing that Long Qingyu hadn't returned for a long time, Shangguan Yu pushed the door open with an ice pick, leaving a small gap and asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"
"A zombie just jumped out and almost bit my neck!" Ling Xi gestured excitedly, but Shangguan Yu was completely unaffected by her mood and listened with a blank expression.
She didn't expect Shangguan Yu to say anything comforting. It was good enough that he didn't have a harsh tongue. However, having just jumped back from the brink of death, she couldn't help but want to speak to relieve her tension.
"Oh, but I'm glad you're okay." Shangguan Yu rarely said anything irritating. He folded his hands and said something that sounded like comfort but not really comfort.
Ling Xi pulled Rong Xiao closer, cupped her hands around her face, and rubbed it, "It was Rong Xiao who saved me. She reacted so quickly, it's amazing! She's so amazing!"
Without seeing it with his own eyes, Shangguan Yu thought this was an exaggeration. He didn't even agree with it. He glanced at the instant noodles that fell to the ground and said, "Sister Xi, let me help you move your things."
"Oh oh yeah, pack your things and go!"
Long Qingyu and Shangguan carried all the things they collected into the glowing square on the ground. The things disappeared in a flash and were all safely stored in Lingxi's space.
"Okay, let's go!" Ling Xi closed the entrance to the space and walked out waving a kitchen knife.
When she reached the door, she suddenly thought of something, ran into the study like a whirlwind, and came out flying with a piece of paper.
"Bang!" Ling Xi pasted the paper on the door outside, and deliberately chose a lower position.
Rong Xiao thought she was playing something, so he squatted beside her, pointing at the words and reading them one by one: "There are two zombies in the house, one is in the yellow door, and the other is on the kitchen balcony."
The pinyin is also thoughtfully marked on it.
"It seems that the child of this family hasn't returned yet." Ling Xi patted the note a few more times to ensure it was firmly attached, fearing that it would fall off. "If he really returns alive, I hope to give him a reminder and a chance to make a choice."
"boom--"
Just as the group was about to leave, there was a sudden loud noise, like the sound of a door being broken down.
There was a clattering sound of footsteps downstairs.
With such a cheerful pace, it is impossible for someone to be alive.
"Fuck, the door is broken, run upstairs!" It was actually the voice of a living person.
However, the footsteps interspersed among them did not sound like those of a living person, and there was also the familiar growl of the zombies.
"Go to the rooftop." Without hesitation, Shangguan Yu was the first to rush out and lead the way, running to the rooftop.
The rumbling footsteps accompanied by the zombies' roars were getting closer and closer to them, and in a blink of an eye they were within a set of stairs.
There were two men running ahead of the zombies. They were so tired that they were almost out of breath, but they were still supporting themselves with their knees and mechanically moving their almost numb legs.
When they reached the rooftop together, Long Qingyu immediately locked the door.
"Thank you...thank you!" The two of them thanked weakly while vomiting.
Long Qingyu just nodded, not having time to exchange pleasantries with them, and led the others towards the rooftop entrance of the next unit.
"With such a big commotion just now, Old Tian should have realized what was going on, right?" Ling Xi said as he took out a sky rocket from the space, lit it, and fired it in the opposite direction of their escape.
It rushed into the air with a "chirp" and exploded in mid-air, with fireworks scattering.
"Sister Xi, what are you doing?" Rong Xiao was running hand in hand with Ling Xi. She looked back at the sky rockets exploding in the air, and her hands were itching to pick one up to try playing with it herself.
Ling Xi ignored the desire she saw in those eyes and just explained, "Send a signal to Lao Tian downstairs. He knows we're in trouble and needs to retreat via the second route. He should be on his way to meet us by now."
"Really?" Rong Xiao was shocked and curious. "But, how can just putting something there convey so many things?"
"Of course," Ling Xi proudly raised his thumb and patted his chest, turning to look at Long Qingyu and Shangguan Yu who were leading the way. "We are an excellent team, and we have tacit understanding!"
team.
Awesome team.
Awesome team with mobile stoves and carts!
"The first rule for survival in the apocalypse is to join a strong and reliable team."
This sentence sounds familiar. Who said it?
Rong Xiao thought very hard and finally remembered that this was what Teacher Mosaic was teaching tonight.
She never doubted what Teacher Mosaic said. In this world, the person she trusted most must be him.
Rong Xiao was busy drawing and playing games tonight. She didn't pay much attention to what Teacher Mosaic said at the beginning, but was suddenly enlightened by Ling Xi's words.
His sight was unconsciously drawn to the dazzling figures in front of him, and Rong Xiao suddenly realized that this was the powerful and trustworthy team that Teacher Mosaic had mentioned!
Long Qingyu, who took the lead, wielded the axe with great vigor and shot with great accuracy. She was much more powerful than those who attacked her.
Shangguan Yu is really smart. He always notices details that she cannot find, and can analyze the key information given in the game to successfully lead everyone to complete the task.
Although the carefree Chuan Ge isn't a thinker, he's the only one on the team with offensive abilities. He's reliable in critical moments, and while he looks fierce, he's actually quite interesting. The key point is that he can generate fire! He's like a mobile stove; you can even roast a bird with him!
Sister Xi is a beautiful and kind person. She also has an invisible shopping cart to carry things, and there must be a lot of food in it.
She had wanted to rob them before, but now she thought, why should she rob them?
Why not just join?
Isn’t this exactly the strong, reliable and delicious team that Mr. Mosaic talked about!
Her palms were warm, and Rong Xiao held her hand tightly while recalling everyone in the team.
From the beginning, Lingxi never let go of her hand, and her palm was warm, just like the sun's rays.
Her style is different from everyone else in the team, but Rong Xiao likes the feeling of her and feels happy even just talking to her.
Apart from Teacher Mosaic, this was the first time Rong Xiao was willing to stay with someone all the time.
"Swish-bang!" The sound of firecrackers was also heard downstairs, and it rang twice.
Ling Xi snapped her fingers: "Old Tian has taken care of it, the downstairs is safe."
After he finished speaking, Long Qingyu and Shangguan Yu nodded at the same time to show that they understood.
The rooftop door was broken down in less than 10 minutes. Dense swarms of zombies ran across the rooftop and were temporarily blocked by the door of the entrance to the next unit.
Long Qingyu led everyone to kill their way down. The doors of each floor were closed. There were charred zombies along the way, and there were charred marks on the walls.
There was heat in the air, as well as an indescribable burnt smell. Rong Xiao was choked so much that his facial features were squeezed together.
Every door was closed and the zombies in the corridor were cleared. The conditions created by Tian Yichuang allowed everyone to return to the first floor smoothly and successfully meet up with him.
After escaping from the community, they rushed to the edge of the bubble without stopping, and the two people who escaped with them also followed closely behind.
Occasionally there are zombies on the streets, but they are just a few scattered ones and not a big problem.
When they came to the street, it was Rong Xiao's turn to perform again. It was the first time for her to stand in the starting lineup with Long Qingyu, and she felt proud as a leader.
Rong Xiao was responsible for informing them of the route, while Long Qingyu took the lead in judging and clearing the area. They soon arrived at the edge of the bubble.
A huge bubble emitting faint light merged with the ground, dividing the world into two indistinguishable worlds.
Long Qingyu and Shangguan Yu exchanged glances and tried using the axe first. The axe did come out, but it was hard to say whether the person could get out.
Not wanting to waste time being afraid, Long Qingyu, after making sure that the axe could get out, directly crashed into the bubble, as if passing through a layer of obstructing water waves. His body was gently squeezed by an invisible force, and he got out safely.
"No problem." Long Qingyu made a gesture, and Shangguan Yu stepped out without hesitation, as easy as walking through an automatic door.
Seeing that Long Qingyu was fine, the other two rushed towards the bubble one after another, but were bounced back from the spot and could not get out.
"What's going on?" The two were stunned.
Shangguan glared at him with disdain: "Has the mission been completed? If the mission is not completed, bubbles are indispensable."
After forming a team, their tasks are bundled into one. As long as everyone works together to complete the task, they can get the required items and leave the bubble.
a bolt from the blue!
The two stayed where they were, looking at the person leaving the bubble with envy.
Ling Xi followed closely and couldn't wait to go out. When he got outside, the bubbles in front of him suddenly lost their luster, becoming dim like an extinguished light bulb until they disappeared completely.
Ling Xi knew that Rong Xiao was interested in all kinds of weird things, and just when she wanted to tell her not to miss this interesting change, her tightly clenched hands loosened silently.
Turning around, Rong Xiao, who was still in the bubble, was strangled by someone, with a shiny knife pressed against her vitals.
"What do you want to do!!" Ling Xi screamed, "Don't be impulsive, talk it over nicely! If anything happens to her, I'll fucking kill you!"
