Chapter 47: Disaster Prevention and Betrayal
This restaurant is not a traditional Western restaurant, of course it also has a traditional hall, that is, there are many tables placed in a hall, and there are people performing violin, piano and so on on the stage.
The most interesting box.
Walking through the hall to the backyard is the artificial landscape created by the owner himself.
There are flowing water under small bridges, rugged rockery and winding streams.
An artificial lake about two meters wide meanders through the entire corridor. Standing in the wooden corridor and looking out, you can see the crystal clear lake water, emerald green leaves, and lotus flowers that are in full bloom or about to bloom.
The most interesting thing was that Ji An actually saw many red mutant koi fish about one meter long in the artificial lake.
After the apocalypse, animals mutated, and even the gentlest little white rabbit turned into a violent King Kong rabbit, the kind that could burst a person's internal organs with one kick.
Even docile fish like koi can become cannibalistic, or carnivorous, after mutation.
Many people think that koi have no teeth, but this is not true. Koi teeth are quite special. They grow in the pharynx of koi. Their scientific name is pharyngeal teeth. They are in a V shape and arranged symmetrically on both sides. There are five teeth on each side, for a total of ten teeth①.
As long as the mutant koi grow big enough to swallow humans, they will swallow them without hesitation.
Some mutant koi misjudge the size of their prey and can't swallow it halfway through, and may even get stuck and die.
The restaurant owner saw Ji An's surprise and proudly introduced: "Just for these mutant koi, our family specially hired a trainer to take charge. These koi will be served in the dishes in a while."
As they were talking, they walked to the door of the private room. The room had a typical Japanese architectural and decoration style, and one had to take off shoes before entering to eat.
Fortunately, Ji An and Gu Jinsheng are both people who can afford the water fee and can get water to wash their feet every day, otherwise the smell of their stinky feet would be enough to make a dish of fried stinky tofu tasty enough.
Ji An discovered that there was an artificial lake in the box, which ran from their box to the boxes on the left and right, and it was a continuous lake. It not only reflected the artificial lake outside the box, but also penetrated each other to form a ring.
The restaurant owner smiled and said, "We will serve you two dishes through this artificial lake in a moment."
Although it is a bit inappropriate for a Western restaurant to be decorated in Japanese style, this can probably be called a unique feature of the end of the world.
This is how it is in the apocalypse. The decoration style has nothing to do with what is sold in the store.
The main reason is the shortage of food in the apocalypse. It is not that if you want to sell steak in a western restaurant, you will definitely have mutant beef today, and it is not that if you want to sell Japanese food in a Japanese restaurant, you will have seaweed rice rolls. It is even possible that you can't even get rice.
It mainly depends on what ingredients the store can get. Generally, they cook whatever is available in the store. For example, it is very common to eat fried rice and braised pork in a western restaurant.
As for the decoration style, it is the main feature of this store and is highly recommended.
Whether you can eat it depends on luck. This is the end of the world.
So this can be considered a unique decoration style in the end times, a mix and match.
Ji An and Gu Jinsheng ordered their food, and soon a meter-long koi fish swam over steadily with a tray on its head.
In order to prevent guests from taking the wrong meals, a box number plate is placed on the tray.
Guests only need to take away their plates, and the mutant koi will push the tray below back on its own.
As for whether to return by the original route or swim back via the circular artificial lake via the previous route, it depends on the mutant koi's own mood.
"It's a very interesting way to dine." As expected, as long as you have money, no matter what time it is, whether it is the end of the world or not, life will be just as carefree.
"It's very romantic and artistic." Gu Jinsheng also said.
After a while, the red wine they ordered arrived. The red wine was not brought by the mutant koi, but came on a small boat the size of a palm.
Sitting at the stern of the boat was a fisherman wearing a straw raincoat and paddling with both hands.
Ji An took the red wine, poured himself a glass, and poured a glass for Gu Jinsheng. He raised his glass to Gu Jinsheng with a bright smile and said, "Gu Jinsheng, congratulations on your ability being promoted to level six. At the same time, I also wish you to achieve the legendary top ability, level seven, as soon as possible."
"Thank you!" Gu Jinsheng took the initiative to clink glasses, "I also wish you an early promotion to level 4 supernatural power, and further advancement in scientific research!"
Ji An also thanked him, and they both drank the wine in their glasses at the same time.
"Are you in a good mood?" Gu Jinsheng asked.
Since coming here, Ji An has had a smile on his face, as if he had picked up money.
"Yes." Ji An smiled.
Ji An was happy that everything he saw and felt today was his invention. They, all the people, even the people at the bottom of society, were slowly getting better. There was hope on everyone's face and anticipation for tomorrow.
This is the prosperous tomorrow that Ji An wants!
He didn't care whether his name would be remembered by these people. What he cared about was whether more people would survive and whether more people could live better.
Gu Jinsheng seemed to know what was in Ji An's mind. He looked at Ji An with a gentle gaze. Ji An accidentally met Gu Jinsheng's gaze and immediately lowered his head, not daring to look.
Recently, the more Gu Jinsheng looked at him, the less she was willing to suppress her emotions and the more tender her eyes became.
"You, do you still remember those children we rescued last time, Little Stone and Little Rose?" Ji An hurriedly changed the subject, looking a little embarrassed.
Gu Jinsheng looked at Ji An meaningfully, but did not continue to pester him. Instead, he looked away, looked out the window, and replied, "Remember, you went to see them?"
"Yeah. Little Stone..." Ji An told Gu Jinsheng what happened in the orphanage in the past few days, and also told him the story of Yuan Mingan.
"I know, that's why I asked her to take care of those children." Gu Jinsheng said, "Sure enough, she took good care of them."
"I hope she can be reunited with her daughter one day," Ji An sighed.
"I hope we can be reunited." Gu Jinsheng said.
Gu Jinsheng asked Ji An, "Do you feel wronged by what happened just now? It was obviously because of the nutritional supplement you invented that everyone's life became better, but in the end, no one recognized you as the biggest contributor!"
"I don't feel wronged." Ji An shook his head, "I just hope tomorrow will be better than today, just better."
Gu Jinsheng looked at Ji An and said, "The glory that belongs to you will be returned to you one day. I will let you stand on the top of the tower and be admired by all eternity."
Ji An's heart was pounding, not because of the scene that Gu Jinsheng promised, but because of the emotions that Gu Jinsheng expressed so directly. He really felt from the bottom of his heart that he should be treated like that, and he really wanted to help him get that kind of admiration immediately.
While the two were having dinner, Ji An's heart was still a little unstable. Fortunately, Zhou Qin called in via video after a while.
As soon as Zhou Qin saw clearly where Gu Jinsheng was, he started screaming in a funny way.
"Boss, you actually ate at this western restaurant. The environment there is super nice and very romantic. It's especially suitable for young couples to eat there, but it's too expensive." Zhou Qin said with a pained look on his face, "Last time someone introduced me to a date, I treated them to this restaurant, which was super expensive and cost several thousand credit points. Ahhh, that's fine, but the relationship still fell through. If I had known, I wouldn't have eaten at such an expensive restaurant."
After Zhou Qin finished speaking, he winked at Gu Jinsheng in an ambiguous way, "Boss, you would never go to a place like this to eat. Tell me, is the person sitting opposite you Ji An?"
"Yes." Gu Jinsheng nodded directly, admitting it straightforwardly without any pretense. This made Zhou Qin scream in a strange way.
Both of them were fine, but Ji An was really troubled and almost choked on the water he drank.
Gu Jinsheng quickly handed over a handkerchief and patted Ji An's back. After Ji An calmed down, he said to Zhou Qin expressionlessly, "You scared Ji An."
Zhou Qin rolled his eyes at Gu Jinsheng, "Boss, it turns out you can tell jokes too! Why don't you say that he scared me?"
He was not the only one who was frightened by Ji An's three arrows that day. Zhou Qin dared to guarantee that at least 80% of the people present would have a shadow in their hearts and would be afraid of all psychics from then on.
Gu Jinsheng's face was grim, and his eyes did not have the tenderness they had when facing Ji An. He said calmly and even a little coldly: "Talk about the matter."
"I know, I know, big robot, I can't call you to chat if I don't have business." Zhou Qin complained.
Gu Jinsheng did not answer, but the condescending look in his eyes revealed a meaning that could not be more obvious.
If the person opposite him wasn't Gu Jinsheng, Zhou Qin would have definitely cursed.
Zhou Qin took a deep breath and imitated Gu Jinsheng's expressionless face and said in a businesslike manner: "Boss, recently many psychics in the base have privately exchanged zombie crystal cores and upgraded. These psychics have just upgraded and their abilities are not stable, so they want to go out and fight.
I was thinking that since the four of us have upgraded our abilities, should we also go out and gain experience to consolidate our strength? "
"Okay." Gu Jinsheng agreed without thinking too much, "But we can't go out at the same time, so you count the number of people who are upgrading this time. If there are many low-level psychics, you and I, as well as Kong Zhongcheng and Wan Xueying, can take two teams of low-level psychics to go out for training in rotation.
In addition, intermediate and advanced psychics can form their own teams."
"Yes." Zhou Qin agreed, then turned around and said with a smile: "Then I wish you a happy date, boss!"
"Thank you." Gu Jinsheng replied.
After hanging up the video, Ji An said, "Can I be included in the mission? Although I am a level 3 peak psychic, I can challenge higher-level opponents. You know my ability. I will definitely not hold the base back."
"Of course I know your abilities." Gu Jinsheng said, "You are a person with mental abilities, so you don't need to..."
"But I want to go." Ji An said firmly: "You should know that I am not a dodder that grew up in a greenhouse. As much as I like doing scientific research, I hate being powerless."
Gu Jinsheng looked into Ji An's eyes, and Ji An reiterated his determination, "And I also want to stabilize my superpowers. My superpowers have increased too quickly since I came to the base, and I need to fight to stabilize them."
"Okay." Gu Jinsheng finally agreed.
It was decided to hunt zombies tomorrow. After dinner, Gu Jinsheng sent Ji An back to rest, while he went to the command center to confirm with Zhou Qin tomorrow's route, the personnel to be brought, etc.
Maybe because he had a mission the next day, Gu Jinsheng didn’t come back too late and arrived home a little after ten o’clock in the evening.
Ji An had fallen asleep, but he got up again when he heard the noise. Although there was nothing for him to do, he still came out to greet Gu Jinsheng.
"Everything has been planned. We will set off at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. There will be ten of us, you, me, Zhou Qin, Gou Chong, three level three psychics, and three level four early psychics."
Gu Jinsheng explained: "There are no high-level zombies in this mission. Zhou Qin and I are leading the team, so we will take some low-level psychics with good performance to practice."
"Okay, I'm fine with everything. I'm also a low-level psychic." Ji An said.
"You don't count." A superpower who can shoot a level 6 superpower into an idiot with three arrows cannot be measured by level. "Go to sleep."
"good."
Ji An thought that they would take a nutritional supplement and then set off on their journey the next morning, but he didn't expect that he would be awakened by the smell of food.
When Ji An came out, Gu Jinsheng said, "Wash your face and brush your teeth. This is the last dish. We can eat soon."
When Ji An came out after washing his face and brushing his teeth, he saw two large bowls of mutant beef noodles on the table.
The mutated beef is cut into large pieces, stir-fried with chili peppers, and made into sauce. It is poured on the hand-rolled noodles you make yourself. It looks red and very appetizing.
Next to it is a platter of ham, intestines, and beef tendon, as well as a plate of stir-fried shredded tofu.
Gu Jinsheng sat down, poured a glass of water for Ji An and said, "Drink some water before eating. Fortunately, we now have nutritional supplements, so many ingredients are easy to buy."
What Gu Jinsheng didn't mention is that the price has also increased. Obviously, nutritional supplements and gourmet food are now targeting two different customer groups. One is for the poor, and the other is for the high-end customer group.
As nutritional supplements become more and more popular, this phenomenon will become more and more serious. But it doesn't matter. Luxury high-end consumption will always exist, as long as the lower-class people can have enough food and warm clothes.
"You got up very early, didn't you?" Ji An was a little embarrassed. He didn't believe that Gu Jinsheng didn't do it for him. According to Gu Jinsheng's personality, if it wasn't for him, he would have urged the team members to hurry up. What kind of food should they eat? Just give each person a nutritional supplement on the way.
No matter who faces such sincerity, it is impossible not to be touched.
"Thank you." Ji An said.
"As long as you like it." Gu Jinsheng said.
After dinner, Gu Jinsheng drove Ji An to the headquarters. Although they had eaten breakfast, they were not late, as a few people had not arrived yet.
Zhou Qin's nose, like a dog's nose, circled around Gu Jinsheng and Ji An.
"It smells so good. You must have cooked this morning. Let me smell what it is." Zhou Qin sniffed and said, "It smells like beef and chili peppers. It doesn't smell like spicy beef. It should be sauerkraut. What else? Ham, intestines, beef tendons. There should be another thing that I can't smell. The onion smell is so strong. Could it be onions stir-fried with dried tofu shreds?"
All of them were correct, Ji An looked up at the sky in silence.
God has given the psychics developed five senses, and Zhou Qin uses them to smell what other people are eating?
Gu Jinsheng had a blank expression on his face, and was unmoved, as if he couldn't hear anything.
"No way, Ji An, you are spoiling the boss too much?" Zhou Qin exaggeratedly held his heart and said, "It's so early and time is so tight, and you still get up to make beef noodles for the boss?"
"Ji An, you are so skilled, so brave in battle, and so virtuous. Why don't you give others a chance to live?"
The other psychics present secretly glanced at their boss, with envy in their eyes and jealousy that they dared not show.
Gu Jinsheng finally responded. He said, "I did it."
"What!" Zhou Qin's voice was broken. The other psychics were secretly looking at the two of them. They were so surprised when they heard the words that they suddenly looked up at Gu Jinsheng. They looked so hard and forcefully that several psychics had their necks cracked and then screamed.
Ji An nodded innocently.
Zhou Qin's eyes were filled with disbelief. "Boss, besides killing zombies, you can also cook with these hands? Is the food you cook really edible?"
Gu Jinsheng tilted his head and asked Ji An, "Is it delicious?"
Ji An nodded obediently like a little hamster, "The world is absolutely beautiful."
Gu Jinsheng looked back at Zhou Qin, and Ji An inexplicably felt that he seemed a little arrogant.
Zhou Qin looked dreamy, "Boss, I seem to remember that you didn't know how to cook before."
"Learned it."
"From whom?" Zhou Qin gritted his teeth. Who secretly taught Gu Jinsheng how to cook but didn't tell them? Traitor!
"My mother."
Zhou Qin suddenly wilted, "Ah, Auntie? Do you know who you cook for and why?"
Gu Jinsheng frowned, "Of course. I'm not a scumbag who plays with people's feelings."
The two of them were talking indifferently, but Ji An's ears turned red secretly.
Ji An thought of the scene when he first walked into the house after arriving at the base. When he first saw Gu Jinsheng's mother, he felt that she was a very gentle woman.
Later, Gu Jinsheng's mother was too busy to say hello to him, so she came back specially and gave him a can of fish sauce.
The fish sauce was very delicious, and it tasted just like what my classmates’ mothers had said it tasted like.
Did Gu Jinsheng's mother notice something at that time? Otherwise, why would she come back to greet him, a stranger, and give him a gift?
Thinking that it was actually a disguised meeting with the parents, Ji An's heart began to pound unsteadily.
But it is obvious that there is nothing between him and Gu Jinsheng, and they are still friends to this day.
Zhou Qin was completely defeated and sighed, "No wonder I can't get my wife, it turns out I'm not working hard enough!!!"
While they were chatting and laughing, all the psychics had arrived. Zhou Qin personally counted the number of people, and they set off in a large van.
Gu Jinsheng and Ji An sat on a double row of chairs. Gu Jinsheng took out a thin blanket from the space and covered Ji An with it.
"Take a nap. The journey is not far. It's in a small countryside on the outskirts of Beijing. You'll be there when you wake up." Gu Jinsheng said.
"It's okay. I'm not sleepy now. I haven't left the base for several months. I want to see the scenery outside."
There are basically no people outside the base. There are only broken and abandoned cars and public facilities destroyed by zombies on the roadside.
Zhou Qin had already planned the route ahead, and he reviewed it with everyone on the way: "We are hunting a small group of zombies this time, with only about fifty or sixty zombies in total, and the highest-level zombie leader in the team is only at the early stage of level four.
Most of the psychics in our team are above level 4, with only three at level 3, and there are also me and Commander Gu. We can basically be sure that this trip is not dangerous and is just for fun."
The atmosphere in the car was very relaxed. Indeed, with a team like this and the level of the zombies on the opposite side, it was like a recharged VIP player meeting a newbie. It was a ruthless crush.
"However, you three level three psychics should not be careless and should not act alone. You must follow psychics of higher levels than you to avoid being left alone or being unlucky enough to encounter zombies of higher levels than you."
"Understood, Commander Zhou."
Zhou Qin said with a grin, "As for Ji An, I can only say that if I encounter a zombie like you, I'll just have to pray for my own good fortune. And if I get into trouble by accident, please save my life, big brother!"
Ji An laughed. He knew Zhou Qin was joking with him. Zhou Qin was no pushover. He was a level 4 psychic before, and now he has been promoted to level 5.
So far, the highest level of people with superpowers found is level seven, which means that as soon as the end of the world comes, that person has to awaken his superpowers and must ensure that he is promoted to a higher level every year. That is not a promotion, it's like riding a rocket.
Such a promotion speed is too terrifying and almost impossible. In fact, many people have used unorthodox means to get promoted.
The first two years were the darkest years of order and ritual. People knew nothing and were just groping in the dark during those two years. Some people with special abilities found that absorbing the crystal cores of their companions could help them advance faster without any barriers, so they started to take the crooked path and upgraded their abilities very quickly.
Later, more people did this, and the world grew longer. Two years had passed since the first mutant absorbed the crystal core of his companion.
The disadvantages of absorbing the crystal cores of psychics began to be exposed. The psychics who were promoted the fastest began to become violent and bloodthirsty, and those with low self-control even began to show symptoms of mental breakdown.
In the early days, people thought it was a side effect of super powers and were terrified.
Fortunately, by then some large bases had initially restored order, and some scientific researchers had returned to their positions and devoted themselves to scientific research again, and they discovered the problem.
Those who have drastically changed their temperament or even suffered a mental breakdown are not suffering from the sequelae of awakening their superpowers, but rather the sequelae of absorbing the crystal core of a superpower.
From then on, after seeing the miserable conditions of those who absorbed the crystal cores of other psychics, some greedy psychics became afraid and dared not absorb the crystal cores of the same kind.
Even so, it still can't stop some psychics from taking shortcuts. However, now that Xia is basically stable, all bases have their own order, so they have united to resist absorbing psychic cores. Even if someone wants to absorb psychic cores, they dare not absorb them openly and can only do it secretly.
Once discovered, they will be punished with death.
Someone who normally absorbs zombie crystal cores to improve his superpowers can be promoted to level five or six in seven years of the apocalypse. This is really amazing and is definitely a person who should not be underestimated.
Zhou Qin and Gu Jinsheng continued to remind everyone of some precautions, and then the car arrived at the destination.
Zhou Qin put the car into the space, and then took out many grenades from the space and distributed two grenades to each of the psychics present.
"We should try our best to defeat those we can, and if we can't, we can ask for help from our companions. If we really can't ask for help, we can use grenades, but the premise is to make sure that the range you throw will not hit your companions."
At this point, Zhou Qin's expression became very serious. "Don't ignore yourself when you are in danger, and don't care about how many companions are there. Anyway, a grenade will explode if thrown out. You are safe, but your companions will be dead."
"I'll make it clear to you in advance. Don't think that you can just do it and survive. Our base doesn't need such selfish people. In this case, even if you survive, I can guarantee that you will not suffer any consequences.
The consequences would be ten thousand times more miserable than if you died directly."
Everyone in the car shuddered when they thought of the base's punishment on the troublemakers from Country M and Country R.
It’s really scary!
"Also think about your families. The video of your execution and the reason for it were publicly broadcast on mobile TV. Can your families bear it? Can they still live in the Beijing base in the future?
I can guarantee that even if your family members move away, as long as the Beijing base says so, no base will dare to accept them.
Even if a small base in a remote area that is not familiar with the Beijing base accepts it, it will still be better than the Beijing base.
At present, we don’t know how poor and destitute the small base in Beijing is. It must be a poor mountain village. I’m afraid they still rely on cannibalism to survive.”
What Zhou Qin said was not an exaggeration at all. These people with special abilities also knew that such things could be done by the Jing City base.
Since the establishment of the Jingshi Base, Gu Jinsheng has been the commander-in-chief, and the Jingshi Base has always had this iron-blooded style of clear rewards and punishments.
"Okay, the hunt begins now, everyone get ready." Zhou Qin said, "Group in pairs, each one of you."
Ji An naturally followed Gu Jinsheng. His superpowers were only at level three, so he was a low-level superpower user, so there was nothing wrong with him following Gu Jinsheng.
Gou Chong followed Zhou Qin, and the remaining four-level psychics each brought a third-level psychic.
After everyone was divided into groups, Gu Jinsheng took out the bag of animal blood that had been injected with coagulant but had not coagulated from the space.
Gu Jinsheng looked at Ji An, "I'll throw it, and you shoot it with your mental power."
"Okay." Ji An agreed, and his mental power quickly condensed into a bow and an arrow.
The psychics who had just been promoted to level three and level four were not the core members of the command center. They were just lucky enough to be promoted with the boss this time, so they were brought out for training. Therefore, they did not know that it was Ji An who shot Cruz with great power that day.
They just thought that Ji An was a newcomer who had just been promoted, and a psychic who might want to follow in the footsteps of the big guys, so they exclaimed in surprise.
"The arrows I saw shooting at the American guys at the execution ground were made of this kind of mental power. They were extremely powerful. With just three shots, a level six psychic was turned into an idiot."
"Is your arrow the same as the boss's?"
"You are stupid, of course it can't be the same. The big boss's arrow is so powerful. This arrow will probably just scratch the skin."
"I think so too. I just heard in the car that Ji An is a level three peak psychic."
"You still need to learn from the big guys. The road ahead is not that easy."
These psychics were not trying to attack Ji An or anything. They simply thought that Ji An was a new spiritual person who admired the big guys and wanted to imitate the big guys, so they didn't think much about it.
Ji An didn't care, and these people didn't say anything. If he didn't know his identity, he would have made the same guess.
"Shoot!" Gu Jinsheng threw the blood bag far away without giving any advance warning, preparation or one, two, three or anything like that.
His throwing speed was extremely fast and far, but even so, Ji An still shot out an arrow transformed from his mental power as soon as he finished speaking.
As soon as Ji An fired the arrow, Gu Jinsheng threw out the next blood bag. This time there was not even a word of hint, and it was in a different direction.
Ji An immediately fired the second arrow, without any slowness in his movements.
The two cooperated so well that they shot three blood bags in total, dumbfounding a group of psychics who did not know Ji An's identity.
It took a long while before sporadic applause could be heard, and then gradually it grew louder and louder, mixed with cheers.
"Beautiful, Ji-an!"
"Well done, your archery is really accurate! If you keep practicing like this, one day you will be as good as the big boss."
Another Psychic expressed his feelings and said, "Are all Psychic non-combat Psychics so strong now? If this continues, we will really become non-combat Psychics."
"Here they come." Gu Jinsheng's ears moved and he heard the sound of footsteps coming from afar. Those were the unique footsteps of zombies who couldn't lift their legs.
In fact, without blood bags, making a big noise can also attract zombies. However, it is not as fast as using blood bags, and the zombies attracted in that way are one after another, not in groups. For a purely training team like them, the intensity is too low.
The psychics huddled together in pairs, their expressions no longer as cheerful as before, and they all became serious.
Gu Jinsheng used his wind power to scatter the zombies. He found a breakthrough point and shouted, “Go!”
The superpowers worked in pairs and rushed forward. Ji An also rushed forward at the same time. He hadn't fought zombies for a long time, so this battle was quite exciting.
Arrows were released like meteors, and each arrow shot down a zombie.
He shot seven or eight arrows in succession, and every arrow hit the target.
Ji An felt that it was boring, so he put away his bow and arrow, used his mental power to conjure up a sword, and rushed into the zombie horde, attacking left and right.
Gu Jinsheng always stayed around Ji An, not too far or too close, just to ensure Ji An's safety and not suddenly intervening in Ji An's fight. He was just honing Ji An's fighting ability.
I don’t know if it was because Ji An’s group was too powerful, but after killing for a while, Ji An felt that the zombies around him seemed to have disappeared, not that they had become fewer, but that they had disappeared.
He looked over a bit dazedly and found that there was no zombie around Zhou Qin's group either, and they were looking at them in the same confused manner.
Zhou Qin was bewildered, "How come all the zombies ran away?"
Ji An pointed at the three relatively weaker groups and said, "They all ran over there."
Zhou Qin was puzzled, "Have zombies evolved intelligence now? They have learned to bully the weak and fear the strong."
"Commander Zhou, Commander Gu, help us, we are surrounded by zombies, save us!"
The three groups of psychics were surrounded by the zombie swarm and gradually began to become helpless.
"Here we come!" Zhou Qin responded and rushed forward with Gou Chong. Ji An also rushed forward with Gu Jinsheng.
Ji An used his mental power to transform himself into a giant net, which dropped from the sky and immediately caught a dozen zombies. He threw them into the air, and a gap immediately appeared in the zombie swarm.
"Run!" Ji An shouted, and two psychics ran out from the gap. Gu Jinsheng and Zhou Qin next to them used their superpowers to open two gaps for several psychics who were tied up by zombies, and all the psychics ran out.
Several psychics wiped the sweat off their foreheads through their protective suits and said, "These zombies today seem to be much more powerful than the zombies of the same level I encountered before."
"And these zombies seem to know how to seek benefits and avoid harm. They all came to our side to besiege us. Although the previous zombies also knew this, they were not so excessive. They all bullied us, the weakest ones. There were always a few who were stupid enough to go back and fight to the death with the stronger ones."
These zombies today are indeed a little different. Logically speaking, when Ji An and his team snatched food from the mouths of these zombies who only knew how to eat, it should be like snatching food from the mouths of hungry wolves. These zombies should have pounced on them like crazy.
But in fact, these zombies calmed down only after the initial frenzy. It can be seen that although they wanted to pounce on and bite Ji An and others, they did not do so.
They stared at Ji An and the others in a restrained manner, as if they were thinking about how to eat Ji An and the others.
Wait, thinking?
Ji An suddenly discovered that something was wrong with the zombies. "These zombies seem to be able to think?"
Zhou Qin said: "Don't zombies have brains? How do they think? Have they evolved intelligence?"
"Something's wrong." Ji An's eyes scanned around the pile of zombies, and suddenly his finger pointed at a shabby house behind the zombies. In the window of the shabby house, there stood a zombie. It just stood there quietly, watching everything that happened here.
"Zombie King?" Zhou Qin asked.
Everything has a head, and zombies are no exception. Where there are piles of zombies, there is the zombie king.
The zombie king is usually the most powerful one in the zombie team. Other zombies cannot defeat it and can only listen to it.
"Catch it!" said Gu Jinsheng.
Zhou Qin and Gou Chong rushed out immediately, while Gu Jinsheng and Ji An stayed behind to hold back the zombies and protect the newly promoted psychics in front of them.
The zombie king seemed to notice that Ji An and the others had discovered him, and he immediately moved away from the window. Then there was a strange roar, which made the entire zombie group restless.
They no longer wanted to fight, and even abandoned their physiological instincts to rush back the way they came, and began to evacuate in an organized manner.
Some were responsible for covering the rear, some were responsible for harassing Ji An and others, and some even knew tactics and began to attack several of the weakest psychics, trying to slow down Ji An and others.
Ji An and Gu Jinsheng had to turn back to rescue people. In just a short while, Zhou Qin and Gou Chong had already rushed into the zombie lair.
For some reason, Ji An always felt that something was wrong with the zombies today. He said to Gu Jinsheng, "Let's make a quick decision. Let's go find Zhou Qin. I always feel that there is something strange about these zombies."
"Okay, I also feel something is wrong." Gu Jinsheng immediately summoned the Thunder Dragon and Tornado, burning part of the zombies in front of him into charcoal and grinding part into meat pieces, leaving zombie crystal cores all over the ground.
After dealing with the group of zombies in front of them, Ji An and Gu Jinsheng immediately went after Zhou Qin with the psychics.
When they arrived, the zombies were fighting with Zhou Qin and Gou Chong.
With Zhou Qin's strength, he should be able to easily kill these zombies that are lower in level than him, but now he is finding it very difficult to fight them.
This was obviously wrong. At this moment, Ji An suddenly noticed that something was coming towards Gou Chong from a distance.
"Gou Chong, be careful!" Zhou Qin, who was fighting with zombies, saw this scene and immediately shouted to remind Gou Chong, while releasing his ultimate move - Eternal Night.
The overwhelming sand and gravel whistled up and smashed into the zombies in front of him.
Those were not ordinary gravels. Even though they were small, they were all summoned by supernatural powers. If a small piece hit a zombie's head, it would explode. If it hit the chest, it would leave a bloody hole.
Zhou Qin leaped up and ran towards Gou Chong, stepping on the zombies that were knocked to the ground.
At the same time, Gou Chong also discovered something flying towards him. That thing seemed to be transformed by the supernatural power of a psychic, but it had no specific shape. It was like the most primitive supernatural energy.
He raised his hand and used his wood-based ability to try to resist, but his ability hit the energy and was instantly shattered.
Ji An then shot an arrow, but without looking to see if his arrow could hit the mysterious power, he turned the arrow and shot at the zombie king hiding behind the zombie group.
Gu Jinsheng was protecting six people with special abilities who were being chased and attacked by a swarm of zombies, and he was unable to cope with all of them.
The zombies seemed to know that the six psychics were the weakest, and attacked them recklessly. That kind of fighting style was no longer as simple as a fight to the death, or a fight to the death. Instead, they would rather die than delay Gu Jinsheng for a step.
This is not an unorganized and undisciplined fight, but more like a battle with a commander.
On Gou Chong's side, the supernatural powers he released collided with the mysterious force, but were easily resolved without even a trace left.
The mysterious power was approaching, and Zhou Qin also arrived riding on the zombies. Zhou Qin raised his hand and was about to release his supernatural power, but was suddenly pulled away by a strong force. The supernatural power he just released was deviated and did not hit the mysterious power.
However, Zhou Qin was dragged by someone to face the mysterious energy head-on. It seemed that the mysterious power was about to pierce Zhou Qin's brain, and Zhou Qin had no way to avoid it.
Zhou Qin stared at Gou Chong with his eyes wide open in disbelief. He couldn't believe that the brother who had risked his life to save him from the pile of zombies was now using him to ward off disaster!
