Chapter 52 Evil thoughts!
The houses here collapsed severely, and all the Yuanshi were buried under the smoke and dust. It was quite a laborious task to find them one by one. Not only Bai Qianqian and Fang Yuxin extended their mental power as far as possible, but Qu Qianhe, Fang Jintang and Fang Yuyang also tried to release their mental power. The three of them were not mental power psychics, and unlike Fang Yuxin, they did not have immortal cultivation techniques. Their mental power could only be released seven or eight meters away, and ten meters was the limit.
The five people searched for the Yuanshi separately. To prevent the zombies from attacking, they did not dare to disperse too far. Angela stood on a broken wall, tilting her round head and looking at Fang Yuxin curiously. When she saw her dig out a black stone from a pile of rubble, she called out and began to imitate Fang Yuxin and search around.
They were all superpowered people, and their attraction to zombies was much stronger than that of ordinary people. Not long after they arrived, zombies began to gather around one after another, following the smell in the air.
At this time, the positions of the five people were also very particular. Fang Yuyang and Fang Yuxin were relatively close, while Qu Qianhe and Fang Jintang were guarding not far from Bai Qianqian. So when the zombies came, Fang Jintang and Fang Yuyang were the first to greet them, while Qu Qianhe stayed behind to continue protecting Bai Qianqian.
Fang Yuxin took a look and saw that there were not many zombies, and they were all primary zombies. Fang Yuyang and Fang Jintang should be able to handle them. She did not plan to attack, but continued to look for the Yuanshi. Bai Qianqian also did not attack. He was digging a Yuanshi with a bayonet.
The Yuan Stone was embedded in the ground, quite deep, and there were many pieces buried on it. Bai Qianqian dug it out after a while. This Yuan Stone was the size of an adult's fist, and it was very heavy. Bai Qianqian had to use both hands to hold it. He took off his backpack and put the Yuan Stone in it. Just as he was about to put it on his back again, his spiritual power suddenly sensed a living person!
His face suddenly changed, and then he extended more mental power along the direction he had just sensed. This time, his perception was more obvious. Two cars drove over, and he could even vaguely "see" seven or eight blurry figures in the cars.
Bai Qianqian immediately said, "Mom! Someone is driving over here!"
Hearing this, everyone else was shocked, but when they listened carefully, they discovered that there were indeed faint voices mixed in with the zombies' roars.
"Did you hear that? There seems to be the sound of zombies ahead. There are zombies ahead! Let's not... let's not go over there, okay?"
"What are you afraid of? Even if there are zombies, so what? Just kill them! Don't forget, this area is full of food processing factories. As long as we find food, we will be rich!"
"But this place is in ruins. Can we find anything to eat? Even if there is food inside, we can't eat it, right?"
"Don't say such depressing things, let's go check it out first! Take away everything you can before other people notice this place! With so many factories, you can always find something to eat!"
…
The voices continued, but they didn't want to listen any more. The car must have stopped, otherwise it would have come over earlier. At this time, more and more zombies were attracted by Fang Yuxin and his group.
Fang Yuxin made a prompt decision and said, "Let's hide first!" Everyone else had no objection and followed her into the Qingmu Spiritual Palace. Angela, holding a Yuan Stone in her mouth, threw herself into Fang Yuxin's arms and was taken in by her.
As soon as they disappeared, the zombies that had gathered became confused, wondering why the food just disappeared. At the same time, people in the car in the distance heard the zombies' voices. One of the young men frowned, cursed, and said to the driver: "Forget it! Turn around! Enter from another entrance! Damn, why are there so many zombies here!"
He was the leader of these people. As soon as he spoke, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief. The driver immediately turned the car around and drove back to another road. There were eight people in total, both ordinary people and people with special abilities, who came here for the food.
But they hadn't even seen any food yet, and they didn't want to go out and fight a group of zombies right now. It would be best if they could avoid it.
Some zombies smelled the scent of these people and chased after them. However, the zombies had just evolved not long ago and their movements were not very flexible. These people drove the cars and quickly left the zombies far behind.
After they left far away, Fang Yuxin and his friends came out of Qingmu Spiritual Mansion. At this time, the zombies had not left yet. As soon as they appeared, the zombies immediately surrounded them with roars.
Fang Yuxin and Qu Qianhe stayed behind to protect Bai Qianqian, while Fang Yuyang and Fang Jintang rushed towards the zombies. The two of them moved swiftly and knocked down two or three zombies in one encounter. They could still handle it for the time being and there was no danger.
Fang Yuxin held the Miao Dao in his hand and said to Bai Qianqian, "Qianqian, try to use your mental power to confuse these zombies and see if you can confuse them. Don't force it, just treat it as training. Be careful when you release your mental power and avoid your own people."
Bai Qianqian responded, his face tense and serious, his eyes fixed on the zombies not far away. Invisible mental power filaments stretched out from his brows, extending rapidly forward, but when approaching the battlefield, the speed slowed down, trembling several times, and finally turned a corner at a certain point, then successfully bypassed Fang Yuyang and Fang Jintang, and attacked the zombies!
Primary zombies are not simply walking corpses. Although they have no wisdom and only the instinct to crave flesh and blood, they still have consciousness. However, their consciousness is only a little bit to control their actions. Bai Qianqian controlled his mental power to pierce the zombie's forehead, and then he saw the zombie's sea of consciousness.
Its sea of consciousness was completely different from that of humans. It was completely silent and shrouded in a dark and strange energy. In the center of the sea of consciousness floated a crystal, emitting a faint fluorescence. It was the only "alive" existence in this dead silence.
Bai Qianqian tentatively moved the thin thread of mental power closer to the crystal, but as soon as it touched the fluorescent layer on the surface of the crystal, it was as if something exploded. Then, Bai Qianqian felt a strong sense of malice and despair, which entangled his thin thread of mental power and even quickly attacked him along the thread!
It was the first time that Bai Qianqian encountered such a situation, and he felt a little panicked. Seeing that the evil thought was getting closer and closer to him, he finally regained some rationality and cut off the thin thread of mental power when the evil thought was about to invade his forehead.
Without the guidance of this thin thread of mental power, the evil thoughts suddenly lost their support and gradually dissipated.
