New discovery of shovel
Everyone realized that this was the awakening of Huo Chi's gene.
The flame spread from his palm to his entire arm and seemed to be out of control. It was hot and bright, dancing and jumping wildly on his body like a majestic dragon hovering. Huo Chi's body was not damaged by it. This was his special ability.
Intermediate level, literally surpassing Li Liang.
Huo Chi raised his hand and took a step back. He was a little nervous: "I can't control it..."
He became the most dazzling one in the crowd. All the incredible eyes were focused on him, but Huo Chi just instinctively wanted to stay away from Jiang Ziyao. This open fire revealed extreme danger. His body temperature was rising, his heart rate was accelerating, and the excitement of being close to death made it difficult for him to control himself.
"Wait, don't-!"
But Jiang Ziyao did not do as he wished.
Huo Chi froze, and the last words were buried in his short breaths. Jiang Ziyao moved quickly, and when he hesitated, he directly grabbed his palm, with all ten fingers connected. He was so scared that his hands shook, and he was stunned, and the fire went out.
"Jiang Ziyao——!" Huo Chi was shocked and frightened. Jiang Ziyao's action was too bold. His mouth closed and his serious face became terribly gloomy.
Jiang Ziyao just clasped his hands tighter, glanced at Huo Chi, and Huo Chi fell silent.
Huo Chi moved behind him. Their movements were not awkward. He maintained a quiet posture like the strongest wall behind Jiang Ziyao.
Jiang Ziyao looked at Li Liang and chuckled, "It seems there is more than one person with genetic awakening here."
Huo Chi's awakening was like a godsend to him. Li Liang could no longer sit still. The risk of his position being shaken was increasing. He stood up from the sofa with his eyes wide open.
"Brother!" Li Zheng, who was standing by, was stunned. He was so angry that he said, "Don't let them beat you! Go teach them a lesson!"
Li Liang yelled, "Shut up!"
Li Zheng still yelled: "Brother!"
“Bang!”
After Li Liang slapped him, Li Zheng became quiet.
Li Liang looked unhappy: "Have I spoiled you too much?"
His tone was surprisingly cold, and Li Zheng was frightened. He didn't dare to look at Li Liang. He stood aside, covering his numb face with red eyes.
Li Zheng calmed down, and Li Liang turned to look at Jiang Ziyao. His tense face relaxed a lot. "My brother got into trouble because of my discipline. This won't happen again. Li Zheng, apologize first."
Li Zheng lost his confidence and shouted aggrievedly: "Brother..."
Li Liang was very tough: "Apologize——!"
Li Zheng then hunched his shoulders and reluctantly walked forward. He stared with dead fish eyes and snorted coldly: "I'm sorry!"
Jiang Ziyao has seen many powerful people solve problems in this way, and they will not lower their posture.
He looked down at Li Zheng, very calmly, with a faint smile on his face. His attitude seemed to have softened and not be harsh, but no one noticed that his gaze had moved to the other person's most vulnerable part.
He didn't say anything. Li Zheng was far enough away from him that if he made a move, Li Zheng would definitely die. He was just thinking, if he broke Li Zheng's neck now, what were the chances of them getting away unscathed.
Jiang Ziyao weighed the gains and risks in his mind.
"Is the matter not resolved yet?" At this time, Liu Dong came in. He came just in time: "Xiao Bei is still worried about you. It's getting late now."
Jiang Ziyao's eyes relaxed: "It will be solved soon. I don't want to make it unpleasant."
He let go of Huo Chi's hand and moved a little closer to Li Zheng.
Li Zheng flinched a little, but Jiang Ziyao just bent down and touched his head: "Children are ignorant and can change in the future."
Li Zheng stared at him suspiciously. Everyone around was looking at Jiang Ziyao's attitude. With his smiling face, he looked like an amiable elder brother.
Jiang Ziyao leaned close to Li Zheng's ear so that only he could hear clearly: "You will die soon, and it will be a miserable death. Wang Xiaoshan will bite through your neck at night."
Li Zheng raised his head and met Jiang Ziyao's creepy eyes. He was so scared that his face turned pale and his legs went weak and he fell to the ground. "Are you crazy? Brother! He wants to kill me! He wants to kill me!"
It turns out that the little ghost who just stood up straight can also be frightened. Li Zheng's frightened look made Li Liang lose face. Jiang Ziyao stood up straight with no change in expression: "Don't throw this dirty water on me."
Liu Dong immediately interjected: "They are all reasonable people. Don't let the children ruin their relationship."
Jiang Ziyao did not raise an issue to accuse him, which meant he was showing goodwill. Li Liang was the kind of person who would back down if given a chance: "Li Zheng! Get back to your room!"
Jiang Ziyao smiled: "The camp has been a little uneasy lately. I want some equipment to protect myself. You are the leader here, can you give me some help?"
Li Liang agreed: "Okay."
A confrontation resulted in weapons and status, and the crowd dispersed. Jiang Ziyao washed his hands, and he and Huo Chi returned to the house until the rainy night was over.
Huo Chi took over Liu Dong's patrol. He and Jiang Ziyao got guns and walked together at noon. They both agreed to go to the back mountain again. Li Zheng, that kid, might dig up graves to vent his anger after losing face.
It had rained heavily, but the ground was still dry. Huo Chi said nothing on the way, but took out a package from his pocket.
cigarette.
When Huo Chi waved the thing to his eyes, Jiang Ziyao was a little surprised: "How did you get it?"
Huo Chi was a little proud: "I stole some in that house before. I wanted to give you a surprise, but I never had the chance. Want to have one?"
Jiang Ziyao nodded and held the cigarette butt between his lips.
Huo Chi smiled. He bent down and stretched out his palm like a gentleman. A hot fire came out. He lowered his head and lit a cigarette. He quickly became familiar with the use of this supernatural power.
Tobacco can numb a person's emotions. Jiang Ziyao exhaled slowly, smoke rings drifting across his face. His half-closed eyebrows were blurred in the diffused smoke. He raised his head and glanced at the sky, which was still grey.
He smoked a cigarette, the bitter taste of tobacco lingering in his lips, and crushed the butt.
Jiang Ziyao said: "We don't kill living people."
Huo Chi said, “I know.”
They came to Wang Xiaoshan's grave, and Jiang Ziyao frankly admitted that he had taken advantage of Wang Xiaoshan's death in order to gain a foothold and gain benefits. The stick was still stuck there, and the wind and rain did not break it, but the soil on the grave became different from the surrounding area, and it turned into mud.
No one has moved this grave, something is wrong.
They used their hands to spread away the outermost layer of soil, and the necklace was sunk into the soil by the rain. Jiang Ziyao picked it up and took a look. There was a bright color in his gray and black eyes, and the seed actually sprouted.
[——Text: By accident, I discovered the secret of my supernatural power. The soil it touches can bring life. This is hope.
We fantasize about the quiet life we might create in the future, farming, and having some fun even in the end of the world.
It's a pity that we leaked the news, because it was trapped for a year. Don't trust anyone, this is the advice I got. 】
Huo Chi was surprised: "Didn't they say that the seeds would not sprout again? How come..."
He watched Jiang Ziyao's face gradually darken and he was stunned.
Jiang Ziyao said coldly: "Nothing happened."
He crushed the sprouting seeds right in front of Huo Chi, and the fragile new shoots disappeared. He then covered the grave with a layer of soil with his hands to conceal it.
Huo Chi understood and nodded: "Nothing happened."
They quickly left the back mountain and just returned to the house when they received news from Li Liang.
The messenger said, "The boss said that everyone in the camp will be moved the day after tomorrow. You should prepare. The boss said that he recognizes your strength and hopes that you can help."
Jiang Ziyao asked: "Where are we going?"
The other party replied: "The expressway toll station is the only way to Huaiyang City. The boss has already explored it in advance. The danger level is not high."
Jiang Ziyao stared at the man gloomily as he left without asking any more questions.
Huo Chi snorted coldly: "They are too impatient."
"Maybe he hasn't checked it at all... Oh no, he should know clearly what's inside, but he just wants others to be his pawns and cannon fodder for his death."
Jiang Ziyao immediately understood why they only met two people in the text.
It's simple, because everyone else is dead, died in the alien nest.
Li Liang was obviously still angry about last night. Jiang Ziyao smiled and said, "Then let's get what we want before they do and let them sleep in the same bed with the aliens."
He would not let Li Liang achieve his desired goal. Jiang Ziyao had a plan in mind. Before that, he went to warn Liu Dong and his son to make plans early. When he arrived, Liu Xiaobei was outside the room.
Huo Chi saw that his expression was not right and asked, "Where's your dad? Is he in the room?"
Liu Xiaobei shook his head.
Huo Chi stared at him: "You're lying, little brat, your acting skills are not good, what happened?"
Liu Xiaobei still shook his head. He was blocking the door, but it was closed, which meant Liu Dong was in the room.
Jiang Ziyao moved closer and frowned: "Did you smell it?"
Huo Chi's sense of smell also became sharper: "I smell it."
There came from the room a smell like that of rotting meat.
Huo Chi stretched out his hands and picked up Liu Xiaobei from the door. Jiang Ziyao stepped forward, kicked the door open, and pulled out his pistol.
Huo Chi called out, "Old Liu?"
The stench was quite strong, and at first they were worried that Liu Dong had died in the house, but he turned out to be standing right in front of them.
He was the only living thing in the room. He took off his upper body clothes. Jiang Ziyao was stunned for a moment, then said, "Close the door first."
Liu Xiaobei was still struggling in Huo Chi's arms. As soon as Huo Chi put him down, he rushed to his father.
Huo Chi said: "The door lock was kicked in."
Jiang Ziyao said in a deep voice: "Then block the door and don't let anyone else in!"
Jiang Ziyao looked at Liu Dong, but he didn't put down the gun in his hand. Instead, he pointed it at him: "Liu Xiaobei, don't get close to your father."
Liu Xiaobei didn't listen.
Liu Dong yelled at his son: "Xiao Bei, get out!"
His voice sounded like the roar of a wild beast. Yes, he had mutated. Liu Dong's broken arm and half of his shoulder were also mutated, and insects and mosquitoes grew on them. There were insect shells on his back. The amputation of his arm did not prevent him from being infected with the virus.
But he doesn't seem to have completely lost his mind.
Liu Xiaobei was frightened: "Dad..."
Liu Dong did not show any aggression, but instead said to Jiang Ziyao: "Kill me."
He covered his broken limbs, and his body became different. Liu Dong knelt on the ground and pointed his most vulnerable head at Jiang Ziyao's gun.
Liu Xiaobei cried. He rushed over and hugged Liu Dong's legs: "Don't kill my dad! Don't!"
This change was too sudden, Huo Chi suddenly felt guilty: "I cut it too late, sorry."
Jiang Ziyao was silent for a while: "Say it again."
He threw the pistol directly at Liu Dong's feet and said coldly: "Then kill Liu Xiaobei first."
Liu Dong looked at Liu Xiaobei crying and said in great pain: "I can't do it."
Jiang Ziyao sneered: "Even if you beg me, I can't help you. I don't kill living people."
Liu Dong: "I have been infected."
Jiang Ziyao said: "But you still have human consciousness."
Liu Dong shook his head helplessly: "I am currently in a semi-infected state. It won't be long before I am completely assimilated. It's only a matter of time before I turn into a monster."
His eyes were filled with despair: "Killing me before I completely lose my mind is the best outcome."
Jiang Ziyao said calmly: "I don't quite understand what you said. Li Liang wants the people in the camp to die for him. We are just here to inform you."
Liu Dong was silent.
Jiang Ziyao said: "Or, you can just take Liu Xiaobei away from here. No matter where you go to make a living, you can die on the road, but you can't die in my hands."
“Since we are not even a second away from death, we should cherish our life and keep moving forward.”
