Chapter 820 Return
Lu Xiao and his two companions had been living in the open air for the past month. They did find a few magnetic field correctors, but they would soon break down.
The little time that can be used becomes not worth it compared to the process they tried their best to achieve.
In addition, my brother's base has stopped going out recently, and there are fewer places where magnetic field correctors are needed, so they have no chance to take action in the wild.
But if we go to the base...
The three of them thought about the bounties that were being offered higher and higher on the bulletin boards of almost every base, and they all felt that this might be the most valuable bounty they had ever received.
Avoiding pursuit from the base and guarding against the mutant creatures everywhere, the three of them lived an extremely rough life.
On the night when the coastline was determined, Lu Xiao couldn't even feel excited. His clothes couldn't even maintain their initial cleanliness, and his face was untidy and looked like a savage because he hadn't taken care of it for a long time.
They were in a densely packed container area, which had become the nest of some amphibians. It was not high level and could provide them with food.
The three of them used their special powers to stack the containers three high and manually built an overnight shelter. Even so, they did not dare to rest all at once.
Lu Xiao lay on the container in a spread-eagle position, his eyes looking along the coastline towards the direction of Yueban Bay. The anger that had been driving him to go back was finally able to be released a little.
"I thought we had to go around half the country to get back," Zheng Yi said listlessly. Perhaps he saw hope and didn't want to move at all.
“No matter how long it takes, as long as I can get back alive, it’s fine.” Wu Yue burped, looking very open-minded.
At this moment, he no longer had the neat and tidy look he had when he was with Lu Weiyi. The skin on his face seemed to be dark and rough from living on a fishing boat for a long time under the wind and sun. If the people in the base saw him at this moment, they would deny without hesitation that this was definitely not the only team member who was famous for his good looks.
"Should we leave tonight or make a concerted effort tomorrow?" Zheng Yi asked, but he did not move at all.
"... tomorrow." After the words fell, Lu Xiao's voice sounded as if he was breathing, "I want to sleep..."
Before coming here, they were chased by a group of mutant black bears. The black bears, which were already quite intelligent before the end of the world, showed their intelligence to the fullest after their superpowers were upgraded. The superpowers, pursuit and interception as well as the suppression of their size meant that they had not had a good rest for five days. It was pure luck that they were able to find this place out of sheer panic.
At this time, the three of them had almost exhausted their physical strength. Wu Yue yawned and waved to Zheng Yi, "Call me in three hours."
Zheng Yi waved his hands, thinking about the team's situation, and trying to keep himself as clear-headed as possible.
However, with the rhythmic beating of the waves and the snoring of the two people, Zheng Yi soon became drowsy and eventually fell asleep leaning against the container.
When he noticed the footsteps and opened his eyes, he saw a group of zombies in front of him.
Before they rested, they had surveyed the surroundings and did not find any zombies. However, they appeared here quietly at this time without even making any big noise.
Zheng Yi looked at the dozen or so zombies that surrounded the three-story container and hurried to call the other two.
"Are they chasing us again?" Lu Xiao was the first to wake up. He asked in a low voice while looking around cautiously.
He thought the mutant black bear had caught up with them again.
However, what appeared in their field of vision was a circle of zombies surrounding and watching them.
The dozen or so zombies had no intention of attacking them. They just made a few panting sounds at each other, which sounded like the heavy breathing of animals.
Wu Yue also woke up and asked in a low voice what happened.
"Sorry, I was confused and didn't notice when they appeared," Zheng Yi said.
"If they don't attack us, what are they waiting for?" Wu Yue didn't say anything. He knew how trapped both of them were. Otherwise, with his and Lu Xiao's vigilance, they would not have been alarmed.
The level of these zombies in front of us does not seem to be high, so it is normal to follow our instincts. However, this abrupt behavior at this time is really frightening.
"Who cares about them? Let's take action first." Zheng Yi felt guilty and wanted to take the responsibility on himself first.
However, Lu Xiao reached out to stop him at this time, "Do you think they are communicating?"
””Wu Yue.
"What?" Zheng Yi.
"Don't high-level zombies have consciousness?" Lu Xiao glanced in the direction of Wu Yue, hinting at Qin Jin.
"But their highest level is only S. Is it possible?" Wu Yue was frightened first after he said this.
If S-level zombies become conscious, what will the future be like?
Before Lu Xiao could say anything, he heard the highest-level S-level zombie below suddenly roar at them, revealing a mouth full of teeth covered in black blood, looking as disgusting as it could be.
Fortunately, the three of them were far away and could not smell the odor.
The three of them immediately controlled their superpowers, ready to take action at any time, but the zombies below just howled at them. When they noticed that other low-level zombies wanted to approach, they would roar at them. The scene looked a bit weird.
"Are you trying to...monopolize the prey?" Zheng Yi asked in a low voice.
Wu Yue and Lu Xiao were not sure what was going on, but what was certain was that the zombies in front of them could really communicate with each other, but in a way that humans could not understand.
The zombies below suppressed both sides for a while, and without seeing their movements, they suddenly attacked the zombies beside them. They inserted their slender fingers directly into the eye socket of the zombie closest to him, and forcibly pulled out a crystal core from the eye and stuffed it into his mouth.
The three people analyzing the situation above held their breath, thinking that the remaining zombies would run away. However, the remaining zombies just trembled and looked at the zombies in front of them in horror. Some even kept retreating, but not a single one left.
Until the highest-level zombie devoured all the remaining zombie crystal cores and only a circle of zombie corpses were left around, he raised his head and roared at them again, then turned and walked towards the coast.
After one section, he turned around and roared at them.
A strange thought came to Lu Xiao's mind. He felt that the other party seemed to want them to follow him.
When I told them my idea, they looked at me as if they were crazy.
But the direction the other party was heading was indeed the direction they planned to take tomorrow. After discussing it, the three decided to set off in the dark.
Solar storms have repeatedly compressed human activity space, and the frequency of mutant creatures has increased. Now there is no so-called absolutely safe place in the wild, and there is essentially no difference between traveling during the day or at night.
The zombies in front of them kept moving and stopping. At first they were still suspicious, but as they got closer to Yueban Bay, they encountered more zombies.
There is a human base nearby, and they have been clearing out zombies from the beginning. During this period, what they encountered most outside were not zombies, but mutant animals. Just when they were thinking about whether they needed to take action, a group of zombies roared and started attacking each other.
They... ignored the three living people and attacked each other.
"Am I too sleepy?" Zheng Yi rubbed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was still faced with the scene of flying rotten flesh. Some even flew towards him, but he dodged them by flexing his body to the side. He lowered his head to look at the ground, and saw that the texture of his skin had changed.
"I think... maybe they are crazy," Wu Yue said.
Lu Xiao ignored the two of them, looked around, and thought it was okay to leave at this time. He made a silent gesture towards the two of them, and the three of them turned around decisively.
However, before they had taken two steps, an angry howl was heard, and then an icicle appeared under one of their feet, an earth wall appeared under the other's feet, and there was even a circle of burning living flames that encircled them, very much like the circle that Monkey King drew for Tang Monk.
When they turned around, the zombies who had been fighting each other with eagerness to take each other's lives just now were now looking at them, with the same expression on their faces, and anger could be seen at a glance.
The three of them turned around and stood in their original positions again. The zombies' attention returned to each other, and they seamlessly connected and started fighting again.
"Just act according to the situation," Lu Xiao whispered to the two of them.
It's not that they can't win, but they are leaders of three major teams. When they encounter strange situations, they want to find out the truth and have a better understanding of the world today. More importantly, the level of the zombies that appear in front of them is within the controllable range. If they really want to leave, they can leave at any time.
After a while, the zombies decided the winner. A young zombie, holding a dirty doll in his arms, walked towards them. Then, from a few steps away from them, he roared at them, turned around and continued to return towards Yueban Bay.
"I think what she meant was 'keep up'," Zheng Yi joked, but it did not affect his vigilance around him at all.
"Where do you think he plans to take us?" Wu Yue was more practical.
"Could it be... a zombie lair?" Zheng Yi joked, "That's your brother's territory. If that happens, it will all depend on you."
"How can you ..."
Wu Yue paused with a smile on his face, and his footsteps also stopped, staring at the person in the distance who was walking towards him quickly with a strange figure as if the distance could be shortened to an inch.
Even though the figure was just a shadow, he still recognized this comrade who had been through life and death with him.
Lu Xiao also saw the other party. He frowned and was analyzing the other party's good and evil. Faster than that, an invisible energy rushed towards him. Then he was caught by something and thrown into the air. Before he could react, he felt the touch under him.
"quack--"
After two loud cries that shook the air, Lu Xiao flew into the sky.
"Oh my god, what the hell is this?" Lu Xiao hugged the thing under him tightly with both hands, and his terrified voice resounded through the night sky.
