Chapter 82 Snowland
They set off again, with Dongfang Jin and Luo Mei driving.
This time they had to find a safe place to stay for the night, and sleeping in the car all the time was not a good idea.
Moreover, several people on Lin Fengmu's side were injured. If they followed behind, it would cause trouble for everyone.
Why don't we find a place to rest together?
Because they needed to go to places with houses, the number of zombies around inevitably increased.
So they stopped playing and making noise.
Instead, he turned on the TV opposite the sofa and observed the surveillance cameras located in all directions of the bus.
Look around and look for a suitable parking place.
After a while, we found a new rural village with only two-story buildings.
Most of the houses look good from the outside, without much damage and are clean.
Luo Mei said: "There are people in the village."
"Are there any rooms available?"
"Yes, a lot."
"What about the house at the entrance of the village? Is there anyone there?"
"Empty, but there's a zombie."
Dongfang Jin hummed, then leaned out of the passenger seat to ask Chi Heng and the others for their opinions.
Chi Heng thought about it and signaled Dongfang Jin to park the car in front of the house at the edge of the village entrance.
By the way, I communicated with Lin Fengmu through the intercom.
The two groups parked their cars in front of the house and then went into the two-story building at the entrance of the village together.
For safety reasons, they chose to live in the same house.
......
This is a very ordinary two-story house with a yard.
The moment I pushed open the door of the building, a foul odor hit me in the face.
Qi Xian and Qin Zhao, who were walking in front, both covered their noses and took a step back.
When I walked in, I found that the original owner of the house was reading a book on the sofa when the end of the world came.
However, he was bitten to death by his family members who turned into zombies, and he didn't even have the chance to turn into a zombie.
His family, who had turned into zombies, were trapped and wandering around in the house.
He was killed instantly by Qi Xian who just pushed the door open.
Jiang Yi used vines to carry the original owner's broken body to the yard, and buried him using his earth-related abilities.
Then he threw the zombie's body out of the yard.
After the group worked together to clear the first floor of the house, they were able to settle down temporarily.
There is a kitchen and two bedrooms on the first floor, one of which is used as a place to treat wounds.
Let Chen Wanjun carry the medical kit and treat the injured people carefully.
The others were resting in the living room on the sofa brought out by Yu Yao.
After he had some free time, Qin Zhao finally asked the question that had puzzled them.
"Sister Xiaoyu, where did you get that bow? It's so amazing!"
Yu Yao glanced sideways and smiled gently.
"You have to ask about privacy?"
Qin Zhao frowned and softened his tone: "Not really, I'm just a little curious. If you really don't want to say it, you don't have to."
Yu Yao smiled gently, "There's nothing to hide. I just saved an old man with a white beard a while ago. He said he thought I looked kind, so he taught me how to do it."
"......"
"Really? That old man is an expert. He can use magic tools and draw talismans."
Yu Yao blinked her big eyes and looked at Qin Zhao sincerely.
Qin Zhao: “…”
I'll just watch you write!
"Want to buy it?"
"What?"
Anyone with a brain would know that she couldn't have something good in her hands.
Then just let them know that they have a lot.
All equipment talismans produced by the system cannot backfire, and the person who assembles them cannot cause harm to Yu Yao!
This is a bit troublesome though.
But it's not without benefits. At least if I use her things, I can't hurt her.
Besides, in the near future, a small number of magical instruments with special energies will appear one after another.
It is most likely something that was well protected, from the era of cultivation, and its seal was lifted with the impact of the end of the world.
Although the number is not large, it can distract other people's attention from her to a great extent.
Anyway, there are plenty of low-level equipment and talismans, and they just take up space!
It’s not impossible to be a trader!
......
In the end, Qin Zhao couldn't resist the temptation.
Even when there are not many crystal cores.
It was only after talking with Chen Sanxu and Xu Jingci that they managed to get a few talismans and a few level 2 weapons that had some additional abilities.
Chu Chenzhou and Lin Fengmu probably wanted to support Yu Yao.
So he only kept the crystal cores he needed for upgrading, and contributed the rest to Yu Yao.
Also gained a lot.
As for Chen Wanjun and the others, the transaction was over when they came out after their wounds were treated, and they were not taken to play at all.
…
In fact, Yu Yao didn't want to expose herself so early, but things had come to this point, and no matter how she explained it, it seemed weak.
It is better to change your thinking and deal with it in a different way.
Perhaps sensing Yu Yao's thoughts, Lin Fengmu was the first to express his attitude.
"I will keep it a secret for you as long as I can."
Chu Chenzhou quickly followed up and said, "Me too, Xiaoyu, don't worry, I won't tell anyone and cause you trouble."
Lin Fengmu and Chu Chenzhou said so, and Qin Zhao and the other two quickly said that they would not tell anyone.
However, they were not the only ones present before.
It doesn't matter whether they keep it secret or not.
But the attitude is there.
......
As night fell and after dinner, the group set up a tent directly in the living room.
Yu Yao and Luo Mei each had one, and Chen Wanjun had one for herself.
The remaining men worked in pairs and took turns to keep watch.
Because the temperature was very high, everyone was just lying on the mattresses and sleeping in their clothes, or absorbing crystal cores.
But around midnight, the temperature began to drop inexplicably.
The clothes of Yu Yao and others have a certain temperature regulating function.
But the temperature difference can be clearly felt on bare hands and cheeks.
Gradually, even Luo Mei, who was absorbing the crystal core, couldn't calm down.
"Sister? Do you feel the temperature is getting lower?"
"Um."
As soon as Yu Yao finished speaking, she heard Jiang Yi, who was keeping watch outside, muttering softly, "Huh? It's snowing?"
Yu Yao and Luo Mei looked at each other, quickly opened the tent, and ran to the window to check.
It’s snowing as expected.
The heavy snow fell, and under the moonlight, covered the yard with a hazy white veil.
Everyone came out of the tent one after another, and when they saw the sudden heavy snow outside, they all frowned.
The temperature has been incredibly high recently, and everyone hopes it can be lower and more comfortable.
But it was definitely not like it is now, dropping suddenly to below zero!
Yu Yao frowned.
Something is wrong.
The extreme cold came two months earlier than in the previous life?
Chu Chenzhou cursed: "What's going on with this damn weather!"
Chi Heng said: "I'll go out and take a look."
He had just taken a few steps when he heard knocks on the door.
Chi Heng went out to open the door and found that the person who came was a young woman with a pretty and pale face.
She was carrying a stack of cotton clothes and a thermos bucket.
He smiled at Chi Heng gently and kindly.
"Hello, are you passers-by who come to our village to stay? I am a villager here, you can call me Xiaoxue."
"I didn't want to disturb you, but it suddenly snowed, and I thought you didn't prepare any thick clothes, so I brought you some. I also cooked a pot of warm soup, you can drink it to get rid of the cold."
Chi Heng wanted to refuse, but unexpectedly saw a hint of resistance and pleading in the woman's eyes.
There were also silent warnings from the women’s lips.
Go, go quickly!
Chi Heng's eyes dimmed. After thanking her, he took the supplies from the woman's hand, locked the door and returned to the house.
Qi Xian looked at the supplies in Chi Heng's hand and asked, "Boss, what do you say?"
"The person said she was a villager here and gave us some thick clothes and warming soup."
Qi Xian raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing it.
"So kind?"
Chi Heng shook his head, "No, it seems like there is something unspeakable."
As he spoke, he opened his palm, revealing the note inside.
"When she gave me something, she took the opportunity to slip me a note."
When I opened it, there were only a few beautiful words on it:
It's dangerous here, the warming soup is poisonous, let's go!
Upon seeing this, Chen Wanjun hurriedly opened the thermos to check and finally came to a conclusion.
"There are indeed drugs in there that can cause people to become unconscious."
Chu Chenzhou's face darkened, and his tone was somewhat dangerous: "Are we being targeted?"
Qin Zhao asked: "What should we do? Leave?"
Jiang Yi pointed out the window and said, "Can we walk in such a thick snow?"
Chen Sanxu scratched his head.
"Don't you want to be a target by walking here?"
Chen Wanjun said worriedly, "But if we leave, what will happen to the girl who reported the news to us? The other party will definitely find out that it was her who reported the news."
Lin Fengmu opened the door and reached out to catch a few snowflakes.
It melts as soon as it touches your hands. It is indeed real snow.
But he still thinks...
“There’s something wrong with this snow.”
Chi Heng also said: "Indeed, the temperature outside the gate is about 2 degrees higher than the temperature inside the courtyard. This is not normal."
2 degrees, a body temperature that is difficult for ordinary people to detect, but Chi Heng still caught it.
Luo Mei, who was standing by, said what she was thinking, "Could it be a supernatural power?"
Chi Heng nodded.
"Well, this snow is just part of the conspiracy."
Chen Sanxu scratched his head in confusion.
"Snow is a supernatural power? There is such a supernatural power?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jingci, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said to Lin Fengmu: "I'll go check it out."
After getting permission, the whole person suddenly turned into a ball of mist and flew out the door.
Chen Wanjun exclaimed, covered her mouth and sighed: "How amazing! Is there such a supernatural power?"
In previous battles, Xu Jingci mostly used fog to assist in fighting.
For example, hiding your body shape, or slowing down the movements of zombies.
I didn't expect it could turn itself into mist.
Who can prevent this?
Luo Mei couldn't help but sigh to Yu Yao, "This ability is quite interesting~"
"Yeah, first time meeting you."
Luo Mei touched her chin and said, "Superpowers are so strange and varied."
"The world is so big, there are all kinds of strange things." Yu Yao said.
"One day I will awaken a magical being, how cool!"
"......"
Yu Yao didn't respond, but Jiang Yi interrupted with a smile, "You're quite greedy, you want a second superpower?"
Luo Mei raised her chin and argued with him, "You can have two superpowers, but I can't?"
"Sure, why not? Then I wish you to awaken a cool second ability soon~"
"Good luck to you!" He ignored Jiang Yi's teasing tone.
Luo Mei's response was quite brisk and boastful, extremely childish.
......
On the other side, Xu Jingci discovered it when she turned into mist and left the house.
The whole world was snowing, except for the few rows of houses where they were and the surrounding streets.
The total range did not exceed one kilometer.
It is still a hot summer in other places.
Not far outside the snowy area, outside a two-story building with lights on, the mist transformed by Xu Jingci fell silently in front of the window.
After making sure that I heard voices inside, I quietly looked inside and observed the situation.
There were six people in the house, four men and two women.
One of them was the pretty woman who had just gone to deliver the supplies.
The dominant one among the four men was a man with a slightly hunchback but fierce eyes.
He sat on the sofa, tapping the armrest with his fingertips.
"It's about time. The drug should be taking effect, right? Da Liu, take someone to take a look."
The person who was called responded and was about to go out.
The woman named Xiaoxue suddenly said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Those people are not ordinary people. They won't be drugged so easily. Let's wait a little longer to avoid alerting the enemy."
The woman's words made Liu feel a little conflicted, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.
I had no choice but to turn my gaze to the man in the lead for help.
The man frowned slowly.
"What do you mean? Did you put too little medicine in?"
The woman quickly shook her head and waved her hands, explaining with horror: "No, no, I know they are all superpowered people, so I put twice as much."
"But I think they are not simple people and will not be fooled by such tricks. We might as well let them go to avoid getting into trouble!"
Hearing her say this, the other woman in the house sneered and looked at the woman with seductive eyes.
"Sis Xue, when did you become so concerned about Brother Luo's safety? I think you think those boys are good-looking, so you feel sympathy for them, right?"
When the man called Luo Ge heard this, his eyes became sharp and he stood up suddenly.
He glared at Xiaoxue and said coldly, "Luo Qingxue, did you tip off those people? Are you stalling for time to let them escape?"
After that, he shouted to Da Liu, "Go and have a look quickly, don't let the big fish get away!"
Just as Da Liu was about to take action, Luo Qingxue had already run to the door and blocked it.
"Da Liu, you can't go. Please let them go! We have done enough evil things!"
"Luo Qingxue, you want to die!"
Luo Ge cursed angrily, and a bright red vine with barbs suddenly grew out of his hand.
It quickly wrapped around Luo Qingxue's body, threw her up high with her face full of pain, and then dropped her heavily.
Luo Qingxue screamed and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Even so, Luo Ge was not going to let her go, but raised the vines to hit her.
The vine with sharp barbs had already cut several terrible wounds on Luo Qingxue's body.
If you whip him, it will definitely be more painful.
Xu Jingci was worried that someone might die, so he quickly used his special powers and turned into mist to get into the house.
The appearance of thick fog instantly blocked the vision of Luo Ge and his companions.
The charming woman screamed, "What's going on? Where did the fog come from? Where are you, Luo?"
Just when several people were disturbed by the sudden fog.
Xu Jingci took the opportunity to pick up Luo Qingxue who was lying on the ground.
He quickly left the place and returned to the house where he was staying.
