Chapter 6: Seeing the Big Rat Again
Li Huiyin clapped her hands and said cheerfully, "What a coincidence! We're going to the capital too! Want to cooperate, big brother?"
Without waiting for Zhu Ci's reply, Li Huiyin continued, "My name is Li Huiyin, and he is Xu Xiaoyang! We are the four good young men of our motherland, with a good family background and good family pedigree! We are good people! Don't worry!"
Zhu Ci felt that he was too much of a burden and refused coldly: "No need, I can reach the imperial capital by myself."
Xu Zhiyang was unhappy and smiled coldly: "I'm sorry for being nosy just now. I shouldn't have dragged you into this. Otherwise, you would have arrived in the imperial capital by now, right?"
Zhu Ci frowned, probably not expecting that the young man in front of him would directly confront him.
"Let's go, the rat should have left." Xu Zhiyang pulled Li Huiyin's wrist, opened the door and went out.
As she passed by to give a congratulatory speech, Li Huiyin smiled and waved goodbye.
Not far from the public restroom, Li Huiyin curiously looked at Xu Zhiyang and said in surprise, "You can still be angry? I've never seen you angry in all the years we've been classmates."
"I'm not angry, I just don't like him." Xu Zhiyang glanced at the time. It was already past one in the afternoon.
"Let's walk along and find a place to stay for the night."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
There are not many zombies on the small path by the river after getting off the bridge, but there are more zombies going up the stairs to the main road.
Li Huiyin sighed, "Fortunately, these zombies don't like to go up the stairs, otherwise we wouldn't have the chance to enjoy the scenery and take a walk."
"Be alert, for fear that the rat will come back." Xu Zhiyang came out of the public toilet with a crossbow in his hand, his whole body tense.
Don't blame him for being sensitive, but every time you have a bad premonition, there is a high probability that it will really happen.
Li Huiyin was still in low spirits, and at this moment she was even leaning on Xu Zhiyang as she walked.
Xu Zhiyang noticed that something was wrong with her and touched Li Huiyin's forehead. "You have a fever, don't you know?"
"I don't know... I just woke up early this morning feeling nauseous and dizzy. I thought it was from the scorching sun..."
"You really have a big heart."
Xu Zhiyang bent down and carried her on his back, whispering, "Hold on for a while, I'll take you to find a place to rest."
"No problem... no problem..." Li Huiyin smiled foolishly and leaned on Xu Zhiyang's shoulder. After being confused for a while, she suddenly remembered that there was something she hadn't asked.
"By the way, why can you create fire?"
Xu Zhiyang flipped her up and said, "The superpowers I gained are from eating that black fruit."
"Oh... so..." Li Huiyin lost focus, "I thought what you ate was a dung ball."
Xu Zhiyang: “…”
Li Huiyin chuckled and said enviously, "That's pretty awesome, though. I want to get superpowers too."
"It will happen." Xu Zhiyang said softly, "Soon."
"Really?" Li Huiyin laughed, "It feels like you know everything."
"Well, I can predict the future."
"So, are my abilities awesome?"
"Awesome, really awesome."
Xu Zhiyang raised his small crossbow and shot an arrow that went straight through a zombie's head.
The sign of gaining superpowers is an inexplicable fever, but you may not notice it even after waking up.
Generally, people with special abilities discover their special abilities at life-or-death moments.
Li Huiyin was one of the most powerful comrades in the previous life, and Xu Zhiyang knew that she would be fine.
Suddenly, Xu Zhiyang stopped and sensed a familiar energy body.
Li Huiyin felt him stop, opened her eyes and asked, "What's wrong..."
"Don't make a sound!" Xu Zhiyang turned around, carried Li Huiyin on his back, and lay down in the dense flowers beside the river.
A familiar "squeak" sound was heard.
Sure enough, the mouse came back!
Xu Zhiyang and Li Huiyin looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes.
Xu Zhiyang pulled out the arrow and put it into the quiver, then looked warily at the river path through the gaps in the flowers.
What's more, what scared them even more was that the rats made so much noise that they attracted zombies on the street.
The foul-smelling zombies stumbled up the steps and walked down the slope to the riverside path. So many pairs of feet were only one or two meters away from where the two were hiding.
Xu Zhiyang and Li Huiyin were so nervous that they held their breath. Xu Zhiyang reached out and slowly pulled the long flower branch to cover herself and Li Huiyin.
However, the chaotic footsteps became more and more frequent.
One can imagine how many aimless zombies on the road followed the large group down to the river.
The zombies' feet would occasionally kick the crawling branches around the two of them, which was terrifying.
Xu Zhiyang was still somewhat thankful that there were so many zombies around, the smells were mixed, and the stench could cover up the smell on their bodies.
Otherwise, if the mutant rats smell the scent, both of them will be dead.
I don’t know how long I waited, but the zombies’ footsteps gradually moved away.
Xu Zhiyang and Li Huiyin breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Zhiyang was just about to turn over and stand up quietly, but when she raised her eyes slightly, she saw a pair of red eyes emitting a cold light through the gaps between the messy branches.
——was staring at him intently.
Xu Zhiyang's scalp almost exploded in an instant, and her heart seemed to stop beating at this moment.
This mouse has evolved to this point!
It is...
How long have you watched them...
Xu Zhiyang was stunned for only a second, and subconsciously reached out to pull Li Huiyin up and jumped backwards, away from the flowers.
The big rat that was originally lying on the grass observing them also slowly stood up.
"Huiyin, when that rat comes rushing up, you must immediately climb up the tree and not come down!"
Xu Zhiyang stared at the mouse and didn't dare to look back.
Li Huiyin knew that she could not help at all and could only agree.
As soon as he finished speaking, the mouse rushed towards Xu Zhiyang like an arrow!
"Swoosh!" The sharp arrow hit the mouse with a sound of breaking through the air!
"Fuck!" Xu Zhiyang cursed softly.
After the mouse evolved, it was not only fast, but its fur was also very tough, and an arrow only penetrated the tip.
Xu Zhiyang quickly mobilized all his energy, and purple lightning appeared in the palms of his hands. Although the two lightning balls were not big, they were useful.
Hitting a two-meter-tall mouse can cause it to twitch a few times.
Xu Zhiyang took out the dagger hidden at his waist and stabbed the mouse's eyes hard!
However, the mouse reacted very quickly, turning its head to the side. The dagger only cut off its gray fur, and it turned around with a claw and slapped the ignorant human in front of it away.
"Xu Xiaoyang!" Li Huiyin exclaimed, jumped off the tree without hesitation, and rushed towards Xu Zhiyang.
Xu Zhiyang's abdomen was cut by the rat's sharp claws, and blood flowed out through his fingers.
"careful!"
Li Huiyin was very angry, and energy quietly emerged between her palms. Without any guidance or instruction, she squeezed the bicycle thrown on the road into a ball and hit the mouse!
The mouse was knocked to the ground, squeaking angrily.
Li Huiyin knelt beside Xu Zhiyang and pulled open his clothes, her eyes filled with fear: "What's wrong? Just hold on... I'll take you back to find that big brother to save you!"
"It's okay." Xu Zhiyang had stopped bleeding. Li Huiyin was stunned to see that the wound was healing slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
