Crossing the River
[——Text: I don’t have many opportunities to meet people, let alone aliens. Most aliens will set up their own organizations, and I have always tried my best to avoid being enemies with them. However, the conflict between the alien team and us completely escalated after the woman named Yang Lu was burned to death by Huo Chi. We fought each other twice.
Gene sequence 121 [Searching for fragrance].
They have tracking abilities that are more accurate than GPS. Li Qu can identify their location by smell within one thousand meters. Bian Chengsi's movement information is always in their hands, which is why he is always in a passive position.
When Bian Chengsi was infected with the virus, I took advantage of the time when Li Qu was looking for Bian Chengsi to leave them behind for a distance at high speed, and they would get a corpse or face difficult infected people.
I badly hope that Bian Chengsi can become an infected person of the middle level or above, so that even if he dies, he will be able to bite off a piece of flesh from the other party and make them feel uncomfortable for a while. 】
At this time, there was a bridge in front of Jiang Ziyao, and text appeared indicating that this was an information point he had passed by.
This time, they took the Wuze Expressway with Bian Chengsi. The journey was smooth, but there was not much stuff left in the bag. After crossing the bridge, they had to find enough supplies in Tianhai City.
There were a few zombie cars scattered on the bridge, and it was very quiet.
Jiang Ziyao was initially puzzled as to why Rosen had not made any movement, but later he saw their traces in the middle of the bridge.
You son of a bitch! Die!
This sentence was carved on the ground with a knife. The words were ugly, but they were carved very deeply.
Jiang Ziyao glanced at them from a distance and said, "It seems that they have a lot of equipment." It turned out that Rosen's men were walking in front of them. The other party knew that they would definitely pass this section of the road, so they deliberately killed a lot of zombies and piled the bodies here.
The wind blowing from the bridge smelled like a rotting corpse. Bian Chengsi's face was blackened by the stench. He clenched his fists and asked, "Where are the people?" It was a pity that there were no other people around, unless Rosen and the others had played a "prank" and ran away.
But Bian Chengsi was still furious: "Come out and fight if you can! Hiding and hiding is more cowardly than a mouse!"
The voice died down as soon as it was shouted out. Huo Chi held his excited shoulders and said with a chuckle in the tone of an old veteran, "That's not how you shout in a fight."
"Listen carefully, let's do this..." Huo Chi took a deep breath and opened his voice:
"Fuck your ancestors for eighteen generations! You, Luo, can only be a mule for the rest of your life. I'll whip you to death from behind!"
"If you don't have the ability to withstand a punch from me, you will hide your head in a turtle shell and do some tricks secretly. You may not have many tricks, but you have a lot of tricks!"
"The weather is bad today, so just cover the ground with more soil. If you come out to wander around again, I will scatter your ashes!"
“…”
Huo Chi had so much dirty water in his stomach that he couldn't vomit it out. Bian Chengsi was stunned by what he heard. It was nice to scold him, but it was a bit vulgar. It was hard for those with slow tongue to learn from him.
"That's enough." Jiang Ziyao cast a look at the two of them: "Stop yelling."
"That group of people should not be on the bridge. The blood on the ground has been dry for a long time." He squatted down and looked carefully for a while, covering his nose: "But I guess they should not have gone far."
Bian Chengsi said excitedly: "Then hurry up and catch up! It's a good time to settle the score!"
Huo Chi shook his head: "Don't be impatient now. If they want to kill you, they will definitely come to us. They must know that they can't beat us, so they are planning some tricks."
"I think we should burn the shits left behind now. Who knows what tricks they have hidden in there."
"Don't move yet." Jiang Ziyao agreed with Huo Chi's opinion, but did not agree with his approach. He stopped the two of them: "Don't talk, there's noise..."
Jiang Ziyao was not mistaken, there was indeed movement in the pile of corpses, it was a mechanical sound. After a while, the rhythm of the sound became more and more rapid, and Huo Chi's heartbeat also accelerated. Those who have played shooting games are very familiar with this sound.
"——It's a bomb! Get down!"
He roared and immediately knocked Jiang Ziyao to the ground. The timer had reached the end and a loud noise exploded under the zombies. The range of the explosion was not large, but it was like a cannon thrown into a cesspool.
"Fuck! Fuck him!" Huo Chi cursed. His back was covered with rotten meat mud and his hair was also stuck with it. He was about to vomit from nausea and could only endure shaking his body to shake off the dirt.
Bian Chengsi's face turned blue from holding it in. He was really about to vomit. He bit his lip and couldn't utter a word.
Jiang Ziyao was the only clean survivor among the three, but his face was still not good. This thing Rosen made was only disgusting but could not hold them back. This must not be Rosen's purpose.
But Jiang Ziyao had no idea.
Sudden--
[Text: Huo Chi and I arrived in Tianhai City safely. I still clearly remember the explosion behind us. It came from the direction of the bridge. Judging from the power, someone must have blew up the bridge.
Later, we saw Bian Chengsi again at the gate of Utopia. He was still alone, his clothes were tattered, and there was a large burn scar on his arm. I was surprised that he survived the virus and escaped safely from the hands of the alien.
But he didn’t look well. When he arrived at Utopia, he was almost attacked as a zombie. In the end, he fell at my feet. He just said that he was tired...】
Rosen happened to know Jiang Ziyao's caution. He wanted to give Jiang Ziyao and the others some time to be suspicious, and took the opportunity to give them a big gift.
Jiang Ziyao had thought that they would blow up the bridge, but with CI's construction level, to blow up the bridge without fail, at least 600 kilograms of explosives would be needed! He underestimated the opponent's firepower and fell into the trap.
——Ding ding, ding ding…
The sound of the machine rang again.
It was a beautiful, sobering, desperate sound.
Li Qu Luo Sen stood opposite the bridge and watched the entire bridge explode from the middle section. The white smoke covered a large area and it was impossible to see the situation inside. The bridge was broken. He smiled grimly. Luo Sen also wanted these bastards to have a taste of being blown up.
Fang Yanghui said, "Can we get rid of them all at once?" Half of his face was missing skin, one of his eyes could not move under his control, his nerves were burned, and Yang Lu died at night from extensive burns. It was all thanks to Huo Chi. He wished he could pierce Jiang Ziyao and the others' heads with his own hands.
"I'm afraid that won't work." Rosen said cautiously: "Let's chase them along the river now. It's best to strike them when they are injured."
Li Qu said: "The smell has faded, and I can't confirm their exact location."
"rest assured."
Rosen was more confident this time: "They can't run far. We will definitely avenge Yang Lu."
When the bridge collapsed, Jiang Ziyao's face twisted silently. There was a river under the bridge, which should have been good news, but he was a landlubber and could not swim.
At the moment of the explosion, high temperature rushed under their feet. Huo Chi hugged Jiang Ziyao and pulled Bian Chengsi together. He reacted in time and used his special power to isolate the fire burns, but the land under their feet shattered and they inevitably fell into the river.
The debris from the explosion rained down on them, causing them to bump into each other. Bian Chengsi, the only one who could swim, was hit on the right shoulder and almost lost his hand. He wisely threw away all the bags on his body. The water was flowing fast and the water level was a little high after the rain.
"Brother Jiang!" Huo Chi could hardly protect himself. He couldn't open his eyes and couldn't see Jiang Ziyao's position at all. The water was flowing too fast and the sound blocked his ears.
Fortunately, Jiang Ziyao's shovel could float in the water. In a panic, he used the shovel as a rescue board. He grabbed Huo Chi in time and floated down the river. The terrain here was quite steep, and he choked on water several times before he emerged from the river to breathe a breath of air.
At least Rosen wouldn't attack them while they were doggy paddling in the water. Jiang Ziyao didn't know how far he had drifted. His head was spinning. Thanks to Bian Chengsi, he managed to get ashore safely. He felt safe when his feet were firmly on the ground.
Bian Chengsi was swimming while dragging a 116-kilogram sandbag. He fell to the ground, gasping for breath, and was obviously exhausted. He almost vomited everything in his stomach.
Jiang Ziyao was soaked, his hair dripping with water, he had some scratches from the corner of his eye to his cheekbone, a bruise on his arm, and some minor injuries all over his body. The only thing he was thankful for was that the river water was clean, otherwise they would have to eat another mouthful of mud and sand. He patted Huo Chi's face and said, "Wake up."
There was a bump on Huo Chi’s head. He was the last one to wake up. He spat out a mouthful of water, and after he came back to his senses, he only uttered the word "fuck".
Bian Chengsi teased: "If you don't wake up, Brother Jiang will give you artificial respiration."
Huo Chi lowered his head and coughed twice: "Then I should wake up later."
Jiang Ziyao asked: "How is it?"
Huo Chi took a deep breath and felt refreshed: "It feels like I drank two kilograms of water through my nostrils, but my body is not dirty anymore."
Jiang Ziyao said: "It's OK as long as I can survive."
Bian Chengsi looked at his clothes with a big hole in it and a purple patch on the back shoulder, and he silently said, "I'm OK too."
Their current position had a very exposed view, and Jiang Ziyao was worried, so he stood up, brushed the water off his hair, and looked around.
Huo Chi sighed. His hands were still steaming, as if he had just been in a hot spring. "I feel this is a bit weird."
Jiang Ziyao heard this and went over to touch him, but he withdrew his hand in shock: "Your body temperature is very high, like a boiling kettle."
Huo Chi also stepped back: "Then stay away from me first."
Jiang Ziyao frowned: "What's going on?"
His tone was calm, but Huo Chi didn't dare to look at him: "I don't know."
"It's probably because his superpowers were overloaded just now." Bian Chengsi came to the rescue: "I've seen this situation before, it's similar to cramps when swimming, it will be fine after a while."
"Really?"
"Brother Jiang, don't worry. I promise."
"That's good."
Jiang Ziyao's heart dropped: "Can we move now? We have to go inside to be safe."
Huo Chi nodded.
They rested on the shore for a while and then walked towards the shore. Jiang Ziyao had no idea where they were exactly, but at least they were a little far away from the water. Their equipment was lost. There were still some vegetation and many trees nearby, so they tried their best to avoid contact with the plants.
Jiang Ziyao guessed that Rosen would not give up until he found their bodies. He remembered that this area on the map was a plain with scattered residential areas nearby, suitable for hiding and resting. There were fresh traces of human life here.
There were no zombies wandering around in the woods, and they could tell by the trampled vegetation that there were traces of human movement.
Jiang Ziyao initially judged that there might be a security camp nearby. They were considering whether to deal with those people, go in the opposite direction or investigate the situation. They didn't want to encounter alien species at this time, so they boldly chose the latter. By dealing with people, they had the confidence to buy themselves some time to rest.
Following the traces of trampling, they arrived at a relatively open flat ground. The first thing that came into view was a figure tied with ropes on a tree, and below it was a wooden sign that seemed to have words written on it.
They stared at the figure cautiously for a while and found that there was no movement and it was not alive.
"Was it left by the survivors?"
Huo Chi said that the hanging thing looked like a person from a distance, but looked like a scarecrow when he got closer because the head was made of dry grass. The words on the sign were very small, and he couldn't see clearly. When he bravely moved closer, he stepped on empty air.
"Huo Chi!" Jiang Ziyao quickly reached out to pull Huo Chi's hand, but the pit was too big and Huo Chi fell hard, dragging both of them down with him.
"Fuck!" Huo Chi saw blood. There was a cut on his back. He gasped, "Who the hell did this?"
The pit was built so secretly that there were no traces on the surface, as if there was a tunnel dug inside. He looked up and saw that it was a large hunting pit. Thick pillars with spikes were placed on the walls of the pit to prevent the prey from escaping.
By inducing them to fall down through human figures and footprints, it was clearly used to hunt survivors! Jiang Ziyao wanted to check the wound on Huo Chi's back first, but there was a rustling sound behind him, and something came out.
"Don't look!" Huo Chi shouted, but it was too late.
"Are you okay?" They were cautious and asked Bian Chengsi to stay away. He quickly climbed to the edge to check the situation. Looking down, the height of the cave was about three meters. He could just see the backs of the two people. It was very dark down there and there was no sound. He watched Jiang Ziyao suddenly fall down.
"Why did Jiang Ge faint? Is there any danger inside?"
Huo Chi supported Jiang Ziyao, and he was so panicked that he couldn't even get angry: "Use your supernatural power inside! There is something underneath!"
Jiang Ziyao was really dizzy this time. He was prone to insect phobia. When he turned around, he saw hundreds of soft-bodied worms wriggling in front of him, as densely packed as the maggots that covered his grandmother's body.
There was a worm pit underneath, with eggs and white worms wriggling on the ground. They were bigger and more disgusting than maggots. When their round heads were stretched open, they revealed more than a hundred teeth. Huo Chi's blood stimulated them and they were moving towards him.
Although Bian Chengsi couldn't see it, he still did it. A thunderbolt came down with a very small thunder and only two crackling sounds of lightning.
"What's wrong with you?" Huo Chi was anxious.
Bian Chengsi was also surprised: "I don't know either, strange, do you smell any fragrance?"
"Idiot! Don't smell it!"
Huo Chi gritted his teeth and quickly carried Jiang Ziyao on his back. The weight of Jiang Ziyao's body pressed on his back, making the wound more painful.
Bian Chengsi was also trapped: "It's no use talking now, it's already been sucked in, can you hold on?"
"Wait!" He turned his head and said alertly: "I heard footsteps, someone is coming!"
Huo Chi said coldly: "Then go and lead them away."
"I'm leaving. Can you get out by yourself?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"I trust you." Bian Chengsi said, "Be careful."
There was no sound of Bian Chengsi at the entrance of the cave, and insects emerged from the depths again, so many that they were blinding.
They must get out. Huo Chi calmed down. He tried to use his special ability, but his fire wouldn't light up. He also smelled the fragrance that Bian Chengsi mentioned, which seemed to have a special effect on the special ability. He held Jiang Ziyao steady with his left hand and tried to climb up by stepping on the earth, but he couldn't get out without a foothold.
Jiang Ziyao couldn't wake up now, and the bugs behind him seemed to want to drill into their ears and eat their brains.
"Disgusting shit."
Huo Chi cursed coldly. Without hesitation, he hung Jiang Ziyao's hands around his neck, supported his back with his left hand, and kicked him immediately when he was steady.
He jumped with Jiang Ziyao on his back, and gripped the wooden stake with his right hand. He restrained his trembling wrist and endured it. The barb pierced into his palm fiercely and pierced his flesh. The sound of pain was suppressed under his bitten lip.
