It was already morning when I walked out of the house, a little after seven. The rising sun was bright but not yet very hot.
Zhoujiawu is very quiet, a quiet that is eerie.
This time, not only Lin Luo Yunshu, but also Grandma Zhou and Grandma Yao came together. Except for Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai who were left behind to look after the house, it can be said that all the people went out.
To be on the safe side, at Zhou Guangzong's suggestion, everyone except Lin Luo held a weapon in their hands, including a kitchen knife and a wooden stick, which were sponsored by Lin Luo.
The moment they walked out of the mental shield, a trace of discomfort appeared on the faces of several people. It felt like coming from a clean and fresh forest to a big city with turbid air.
Lin Luo did not explain anything, but continued to lead the group towards the village entrance.
Not long after, a few hundred meters away, a swaying figure walked towards Lin Luo and the others with precise aim.
"What the hell is that?!" Lan Yueyin couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Her eyesight was good and she could clearly see the thing with rotten skin, eyes with only whites but no pupils, and fingers with shriveled nails but very long... thing?
"Zombies! Damn! They're really zombies!" Zhou Xiang felt a little physically uncomfortable when he saw the creature that looked very similar to the one in the movie, especially when he saw it walking straight towards them. His first reaction was to turn around and run away.
But when he saw that the others did not move even though they were afraid, Zhou Xiang secretly cursed himself and tightened the wooden stick in his hand, as if this could give him strength.
"Mom, Mom." Zhou Mengjie held Lan Yueyin's hand. Her performance was better than Lin Luo expected. At least she didn't scream in fear.
"This is a zombie, the most basic type of zombie. It moves slowly, has no thoughts, and basically acts on instinct." In just a few words, the zombie was less than a hundred meters away from them.
Zhou Guangzong took out his gun and shot the zombie in the heart!
Bang——
A loud bang echoed throughout Zhoujiawu. The powerful impact knocked the zombies to the ground, and they seemed to be dead.
Gun? Where did the gun come from?
How did the uncle (son, Guangzong) get a gun? And he seemed very skilled at it, shooting the zombie in the heart with one shot.
Grandma Zhou, Lan Yueyin and others all had puzzled expressions on their faces. Among the Zhou family, only Zhou Yaozu had some idea of what Zhou Guangzong had done. The others thought he had gone abroad for business.
However, before anyone could ask their doubts, the zombie that was knocked down actually sat up slowly again!
"After becoming zombies, the heart is no longer their fatal part." Looking at Zhou Guangzong who was still firing, Lin Luo finally spoke, "Boss, it is!"
She didn't seem to make any movement, and the zombie that had just stood firm suddenly had its head separated from its body. Fortunately, no blood splashed out, making the scene a little less terrifying.
Zhou Guangzong showed a hint of anger on his face, anger at himself. The zombie's weakness was the head, which had been emphasized long ago, but his first reaction just now was still the heart.
——I am not as calm and strong as I imagined.
"vomit--"
Lan Yueyin on the side finally couldn't help but retching a few times. It was really because after the zombies were shot in the head, an extremely unpleasant smell spread out, which made her nauseous just by smelling it!
"Either headshot or beheading, that's their biggest weakness."
In fact, Lin Luo didn't need to go through so much trouble to take action. Her mental power could already tell her where the most deadly core in the zombie's head was. She just needed to pierce it with the mental power needle.
However, for most of the current superpowers, they have not yet reached this level.
Hearing this, even Zhou Yaozu showed a hint of discomfort on his face. He had only killed chickens and ducks before, but now he had to kill zombies. The leap was too big and it was really hard for him to accept.
"It's my third uncle." Grandma Yao suddenly murmured. Although his face was almost rotten, she could still tell who the zombie was from his clothes and body shape.
As soon as these four words came out, even Lan Yueyin suppressed the urge to retch, and a trace of discomfort appeared on her expression.
She was not familiar with her third uncle at all, but this was a living person. Now they were asked to kill him. It was really...really!
Soon, they were no longer in the mood to worry about these things.
The gunshot Zhou Guangzong made just now was so loud that it directly attracted the remaining dozen or so zombies in the village.
After the murder happened, most of the villagers left Zhoujiawu, but some elderly people stayed. Given their physical fitness, it was almost a hundred percent certain that they would turn into zombies!
Lin Luo's mental power had already sensed this situation, but she said nothing until everyone saw another zombie staggering towards them.
Soon, the third one, the fourth one... slowly surrounded Lin Luo and his group from all directions.
Lan Yueyin and the others' first reaction was to look at Lin Luo. Unknowingly, she had become their backbone.
Lin Luo put his hands behind his back and said, "You need to deal with these by yourselves. It's not difficult to deal with just a dozen primary zombies."
"You know, it won't be long before they evolve. They'll be faster, stronger, and even able to think. I can't always be there to protect you."
Lin Luo's words made them reveal a hint of despair on their faces.
But the next second, Yun Shu moved.
In his right hand, he held the long sword weighing dozens of kilograms that Lin Luo had taken him to buy. This time, Yun Shu only brought this one out.
He just took a few quick strides, without any fancy moves from Yun Shu. He chopped the neck of the zombie closest to him with his machete. With his amazing strength, he cut the zombie's spine directly, and even the head flew several meters away and rolled several times before slowly stopping.
After Yun Shu finished chopping, he looked down at his hands. Just when others thought he couldn't accept it, Yun Shu looked at Lin Luo, a subtle trace of grievance on his face, "Lolo, his neck was so fragile, I almost threw the knife away."
——This is the knife that Luoluo bought for him, he must take good care of it!
Everyone except Lin Luo: “…” He is a ruthless person!
Lin Luo laughed, "Okay, if we don't hurry up they'll be surrounding us."
Everyone came back to their senses. Zhou Guangzong was the next one to rush forward. He didn't use his gun again, but directly took the wooden stick from Zhou Xiang, who seemed to be dazed, and smashed it hard on the zombie's head. However, his strength was not as great as Yun Shu's. A large part of the zombie's head was dented, but it could still move.
Zhou Guangzong did not hesitate and hit the zombie a few more times, as if the zombie's head was a dough, and soon the zombie fell down completely.
"What are you hesitating about? Are you going to...die, or...let your wife and children die with you?"
This sentence was said to Zhou Yaozu!
Lin Luo is indeed very strong, but she is right, she cannot protect them forever.
Zhou Guangzong didn't know why Lin Luo was willing to save them once. According to the information he received, if it weren't for Lin Luo, there was a high possibility that Grandma Zhou would become a zombie.
Now, among the Zhou family, only Zhou Yaozu has awakened supernatural powers that seem to be useful. He must become stronger, otherwise how can he rely on Zhou Mengjie, who is only eleven years old?
Provoked by his brother's words, Zhou Yaozu glanced at his wife and children who were a little frightened beside him, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he also rushed forward, raised the wooden stick and smashed it hard!
puff--
The zombie's head turned into mud.
His strength is no longer that of an ordinary middle-aged man, so it is normal to have this effect.
Maybe once you get started, the rest will be easy.
There were more than a dozen zombies, but the three grown men took care of them all in less than five minutes.
Even the youngest, Zhou Mengjie, gritted her teeth and threw a small water ball at a zombie.
——Although I didn’t hit it.
But at least I have the courage.
Is Zhou Mengjie's performance even worse than Zhou Xiang's?
Looking at the zombie corpses lying on the ground, Lin Luo blinked his eyes, crushed them into a ball, and threw them aside to avoid being an eyesore.
"From now on, I will go out to kill zombies at 7 o'clock every morning. If you want to join me, just wait at the village entrance." Lin Luo didn't say anything to comfort them, but just told them his future plans.
All the zombies in Zhoujiawu have been eliminated. The only things to be on guard against are the wild beasts coming down the mountain and some mutated plants, but they will not appear so soon for the time being.
So Lin Luo will go to clean up the zombies in the surrounding villages during this period of time, at least to ensure that her living place is quiet and safe. She will go to the city after her supernatural power reaches level six. She should do it step by step and not be impatient.
"Okay! I'll go!" Zhou Guangzong gritted his teeth and was the first to respond. Regardless of whether he had special abilities or not, his skills were there, and they were indeed much better than those of ordinary people.
And with Lin Luo here, at least I don’t have to worry about my life safety. This is a rare opportunity to practice, and I must seize it!
"Yaozu, Axiang, you must go too!" Zhou Guangzong spoke almost in an imperative tone. As a man of the Zhou family, protecting women is his natural responsibility!
After taking a look at his nephew's pale face, Zhou Guangzong's mind flashed through countless methods of training new recruits.
After seeing them make up their minds, Lin Luo turned around and walked towards a house nearby. "Grandma Zhou?" She had just sensed the aura of this place with her mental power. Knowing that this house belonged to the village chief who was captured, it was obvious who was inside.
However, Lin Luo did not have a deep impression of the former village chief's wife. He didn't even know her name, so he could only call her this.
The door was opened from the inside, and Grandma Zhou came out with a wooden face. She was not infected!
"I, I'll go too." Grandma Zhou looked at Lin Luo, holding a hatchet in her hand. It seemed that she was ready to fight to the death.
Lin Luo looked at this woman who others described as cowardly and miserable, until she shrank back and dared not meet his eyes before he spoke, "Have you awakened your superpowers?"
Grandma Zhou also watched TV and knew what superpowers were.
Under Lin Luo's gaze, he raised his right hand, and saw a thin green vine appear in his palm, twisting its body happily, as if dancing.
“Is this it?”
"A mutated wood-type mutant." Lin Luo concluded.
"Mutation?" Zhou Guangzong took a look at the vine, which looked very weak.
Lin Luo nodded. "Generally, primary elementalists can only manipulate existing objects around them, just like Xiao Meng's water ball, which is also condensed from the moisture in the air."
"Wood-type psychics also manipulate the plants around them, but plants like Grandma Zhou's are their own companion plants. They grow with their masters and, if given the chance, can even develop a certain level of intelligence."
This is the most special type of wood-type mutants. If they have the opportunity to grow, they will be much stronger than ordinary mutants who can only be created out of thin air after reaching level six.
I didn't expect that a mutant wood-type mutant could appear in this small Zhoujiawu.
"Then, can I go? I'm very strong!" Grandma Zhou spoke haltingly, with pleading eyes. She had finally come out of hell, and she really didn't want to die!
Lin Luo saw it, saw the stubbornness in the heart of this devastated woman.
"Tomorrow morning? Seven o'clock, village entrance." Lin Luo is willing to give such a person a chance to become stronger!
"Okay, okay, I won't be late. Thank you, thank you!" Grandma Zhou's humble look made Grandma Yao feel very uncomfortable. She also decided to go together tomorrow.
Even if she doesn't have special powers, she can't hold Luo Yatou back!
"Bring your bucket with you." They had seen enough today, too much is as bad as too little, Lin Luo needed them to digest it.
Grandma Zhou was stunned, but she immediately obediently brought a bucket of water.
"Except for sealed bottled water, don't drink running tap water, well water, or pond water. They've been contaminated. It's a little safe for people with special abilities, but it's not 100% safe. Ordinary people will be infected if they drink it."
Lin Luo's words had already been said by the leader on TV. Now the survivors in the cities outside were evacuating to safer bases in full swing. Except for some remote places that could not be taken care of, the situation was much better than in the previous life.
At least now Zhoujiawu can still receive the signal.
"You can come to me every day to fetch a bucket of water. In exchange, you will also have to give me a vegetable seed every day from now on."
Lin Luo knew the principle of gratitude and resentment. She had no relatives or friends with Grandma Zhou, and a bucket of water was enough to sustain her basic life.
With Grandma Zhou's current level of supernatural powers, nurturing a vegetable seed would probably exhaust her body's supernatural powers, and it would take several hours to recover.
"No problem! No problem! Thank you! Thank you!" Grandma Zhou repeatedly bowed to express her gratitude, and even her eyes were slightly red. She knew that she and Lin Luo had nothing to do with each other, and even... the old man had offended Lin Luo. The other party was willing to help her like this, which really made Grandma Zhou very grateful.
The group soon returned to Lin Luo's home.
Compared to the scorching heat outside, Lin Luo's home with the air conditioner on is simply a paradise.
After handing a vegetable seed to Grandma Zhou and guiding her to induce labor successfully before letting her fetch water and leave, Lin Luo turned around and looked at the other people sitting on the sofa. They all lowered their heads and looked silent.
Oh, except Yunshu.
He was listening intently to the leader's speech on TV, which was about some issues related to super powers and zombies.
Lin Luo didn't go either? She didn't want to disturb their thoughts. She called Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai to the back mountain, intending to test whether there were any changes in the two beasts so that she could make better arrangements for them.
It was almost ten o'clock when she came back into the room. Meeting everyone's gazes, Lin Luo asked, "...what did you say?"
It seemed that Zhou Guangzong had been chosen as the representative. He coughed lightly and said, "Luo girl, there are so many of us and we can't stay with you forever. We decided to go back to live with you, but can we...?"
He was a little embarrassed to speak.
Originally, people had no obligation to rescue them, but although there were still a few barrels of canned water in the Zhou family villa, they could not support so many people for a few days.
I just asked Xiao Meng, her ability can only condense about two liters of water at a time, and it will take about four or five hours to recover, which is not enough at all.
Grandma Zhou exchanged fresh vegetables for them, but they...
Lin Luo nodded. To be honest, the Zhou family had very good character. Under such circumstances, most people would have clung to Lin Luo and would not want to go back even if they had to sleep outdoors, but they still held on to their bottom line.
"How about this? There's a large piece of uncultivated land in the back of the mountain. I've protected it from being polluted. When you grow vegetables, give me... one-third."
"As for water, one bucket per person, is that a problem?"
"no problem!"
What could be wrong with Zhou Guangzong? It was obvious that someone was taking care of them. The fastest-cooking vegetables took more than a month to harvest. During this period of time, it was equivalent to Lin Luo raising them!
"Girl Luo, I..."
Grandma Yao felt uncomfortable, and she was useless. Just when she opened her mouth to say something, Lin Luo spoke first.
"Grandma, don't you still have dozens of chickens at home? They're all safe. You can just bring eggs or chickens to exchange for other things, like water and food."
Grandma Yao didn't realize there was such a trick, and she didn't ask how to change it. She went to check her precious chickens happily. Anyway, she would not let Luo Yatou suffer any loss.
Soon, only Lin Luo and Yun Shu were left in the room.
Seeing that no one was talking to Luo Luo, Yun Shu immediately gave up the TV and moved to Lin Luo's side. "Lolo, what about me? What can I give in exchange?"
Listen, you seem a little excited?
The author has something to say: Thanks to the little angel who cast the mine: All thoughts are galaxies 1;
