Chapter 15
The two drove for about three hours before arriving at the Zhoufu Arms Depot, where they discovered that all the weapons had been moved away.
"Sorry!" Shi Buyi said embarrassedly. If Zong Ziyu hadn't taken him back, he would definitely have gotten the weapon.
"This weapon is not as useful as your talisman. Just give me a few more amulets when the time comes. Besides, my mental strength is S-level, so I'm not afraid of zombies at all." Zong Ziyu lied.
"Okay, then I'll pick out a few that are useful to you." Shi Buxi thought to himself, let's see if he can make him a combination set, so that even people who have not practiced cultivation can attack zombies.
"Then I won't be polite," Zong Ziyu replied with a smile, picking up Shi Buxi's words. Then he looked outside and muttered, "It's going to rain. I don't know where they are."
【We know that they were trapped in a castle by a rainstorm. 】
The castle was incredibly clean. Aside from the lack of food, it looked like it had always been inhabited.
【I suspect it's a vampire's residence.】
"How far is the castle from here?" Shi Buyi asked.
About five hours.
Shi Buxi looked at Zong Ziyu. It didn’t matter whether he left or not.
"Let's spend a night here before going over!" Zong Ziyu looked at the zombie standing in the corner who was covered with a yellow talisman by Shi Buxi again.
Shi Buxi had no objection. Although he was interested in vampires, he was not in a hurry.
Tonight's dry food is still bread. Shi Buxi ate it with gusto, but he was a little worried when he saw that the dry food was almost gone. So far, he had not seen the second supply point!
Compared with Shi Buxi's good appetite, Zong Ziyu had a hard time eating. He barely ate half a piece of bread and stopped.
"Xiao Xi, where is your hometown?" Zong Ziyu asked curiously. He occasionally searched for information about Maoshan on the Star Internet these days and found that this Taoism had disappeared thousands of years ago.
"The ancestor of all mountains." Shi Buyi said vaguely.
"Never heard of it." Zong Ziyu was puzzled.
"It's a small place." Shi Buxi ate the last bite of bread and drank some water.
Zong Ziyu saw that he seemed to be hiding something in his reply, so he didn't ask any further questions.
After a simple dinner and a wash, the two of them found themselves in a drenching rain outside the warehouse. The howling wind was eerie. District Three's Zhoufu Prison was near the coast, and it looked like a typhoon was brewing. Sleeping in the car in the strong wind and heavy rain was unsafe, so they both took their tents inside. Just as they had spread out their tents and slept inside, a commotion erupted in the livestream room.
【Ahhh, zombies appeared in the castle. 】
[Fuck, fuck, five of them, ahhhh, they're finished.]
[That's not a zombie, it's a vampire, it can fly.]
[Lan Yang and Wu Zheng were eliminated] A cold robot voice came from the shooting system.
Zong Ziyu immediately got up and looked towards Shi Buyi's tent, only to find him quiet and unresponsive. The surroundings were dark, with the howling of wind and rain outside, and the panicked cries of the livestream audience, who hadn't turned on the show, gave Zong Ziyu a chill.
"Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi, are you asleep?" Zong Ziyu called softly.
[Stop shouting, he's already asleep.]
[The child sleeps really well, falling asleep as soon as he lies down on the bed.]
"What happened in the castle?" asked Zong Ziyu.
[It seems they've stumbled into a vampire stronghold and are playing a game of being caught by the ghosts!]
[Hahaha, the production team is so cruel that they don't even care.]
[Fuck! Someone is actually telling the kids to rescue them.]
The more Zong Ziyu listened, the more itchy he felt. He felt a little regretful that he couldn't see the famous scene, but he was also glad that they didn't force themselves to drive there tonight.
At this time, inside the castle.
[Yun Zeyang, eliminated.] An announcement came from the camera system.
"There are only nine people left. If Xiaoxi were here, everything would be fine!" Tian Lou tried hard to control himself from shaking too violently, and whispered to Jian Xiaonan beside him.
"Is that so?" Jian Xiaonan replied in a low voice, hiding behind the sofa, not daring to show his head.
Today, after they distributed the weapons, they just left the center of the state capital and found that the road was blocked. They had to drive into the forest. However, they didn't expect that it would rain heavily while they were driving, and there were lightning and thunder, making the muddy road difficult to walk on. When they saw the castle, they came in without much thought.
When they came in, they found that the place was quite clean. No one thought of vampires or zombies at first, but just guessed that some scientific researchers might have lived here. However, they didn't expect that around ten o'clock in the evening, as soon as they turned off the terminal lights, these things ran out.
Their mental powers were incredibly high, equivalent to a human S-level, and upon their initial confrontation, they eliminated two A-level contestants. Jian Xiaonan was a healer, and while he possessed S-level mental power, his physical skills were extremely poor. He barely relied on the talisman given by Shi Buxi to keep the vampires at bay.
Lu Feng and Feng Shen reacted the fastest, rushing out of the tent and confronting several vampires. She took advantage of the fight between Lu Feng and Feng Shen and the vampires and barely broke out of the encirclement, but she didn't expect Tian Lou to follow.
"We have to find a way to get through the hall and get our guns outside," Ning Lu said, groping his way out of the darkness. His physical skills weren't great, and at first, he thought he could intimidate the zombies with his mental strength, but he didn't expect to be caught by a vampire. If Feng Shen hadn't saved him, he would have been bitten.
"What do you have in mind?" Jian Xiaonan asked him.
"Haha, I didn't expect that!" Ning Lu laughed dryly.
[Jian Xiaonan, Tian Lou, and Ning Lu are hiding on the left. Two S-level psychics are hiding on the left, and Cheng Sina is hiding under the stairs. Hahaha, this is playing hide-and-seek!]
[When Cheng Sina first debuted, she was portrayed as a young lady from a martial arts family. Her mental strength must be S-rank, but she doesn't dare to go out.]
【Jian Xiaonan is hiding now, why is he trying to get our sister?】
[Cheng Sina is a healing type, not a combat type.]
[Pfft, this is only District 3, just out of the center of the state capital. I overestimated them when I said they could reach District 2.]
[The more I watch, the more bored I get. I'd better go back and help the kids sleep!]
[Ah, there's a vampire groping behind Ning Lu.]
"ah!"
In the castle, the sharp tenor voice pierced through the rainy night, making people shudder!
Shi Buxi slept very well, but it was still raining when he woke up. Yawning, he went to wash up, and then had breakfast. He counted his food supplies and found that he only had six loaves of bread left.
"We have to find a way to get some food reserves." Shi Buxi murmured.
[Hahaha, kid, you eat too much.]
[We don't know when the next supply point will appear, so you'd better save some food!]
[Or else, don't rob those who are deep in the sea; they have the most food.]
"No, no, we must be good law-abiding citizens." Shi Buyi said with a smile.
[None of this matters. Kid, go to the castle and catch vampires.]
"Catch vampires?" Shi Buyi was puzzled.
"Yes, the group that arrived ahead of you encountered five vampires in the castle last night. They fought them all night and eliminated four of them. Both sides were exhausted. As dawn approached, Lu Feng and Feng Shen forced the vampires out and used Jian Xiaonan's talisman to stick on the door, barely taking a break."
[Hahaha, kid, you said before that vampires don't have high IQs. Now I've really discovered that. There's a window next to them that can be opened, but they just stood outside the door and acted crazy.]
"Are you sure? Even a gun wouldn't be able to break the glass in a castle like this from three thousand years ago!"
【Uh, that seems to be the case.】
Shi Buxi found it curious and became interested in mental power for the first time.
After breakfast, the two emerged again into the pouring rain. After about three hours, they were blocked by concrete and steel bars that had been reduced to rubble by bombings, forcing them to enter the forest. After three thousand years of no human habitation, Blue Planet had largely returned to its original ecology, with only the concrete pavement as a backdrop, covered in vegetation.
The rain was so heavy that it took them almost five hours to reach the castle, which was supposed to take three hours. They finally saw the castle the audience had been talking about. Outside the castle, two vampires were guarding it, seemingly scratching at the door, afraid of something.
At this time, in the castle, except for Lu Feng, whose mental power was 2S, everyone else's mental power was overdrawn to a certain extent. They were already hungry because the food was in the car, and there was a vampire guarding outside the door. They were discouraged and under great pressure.
Among them, Tian Lou and Ning Lu were in the worst condition, and both of them almost thought about withdrawing from the competition.
"Is the person inside still alive?" Shi Buyi's car stopped in the heavy rain in front of the gate. He stretched his head out slightly and shouted at the gate, then gave a friendly smile to the vampire who was drooling at him.
"Yes, yes." Ning Lu hurriedly replied as if she had seen the light in the darkness, and walked quickly to the gate. But then she found that the gate blocked her view, so she hurried to the French window and saw two cars parked outside.
Lu Feng and Feng Shen looked at each other at the same time, and saw relief in each other's expressions. They couldn't help but smile. They actually felt relieved because of the appearance of a young man without mental power.
"Do you want me to save you?" Shi Buyi asked.
"Yes." Tian Lou also got up and ran to the window to look. He saw Shi Buyi's head sticking out of the car window, looking at the gate. Even though he knew Shi Buyi couldn't see, Tian Lou couldn't help but wave happily.
"Three loaves of bread per person as a reward. Do you agree?" Shi Buyi said again.
Everyone inside: ...
Audience: ..., the child is indeed a law-abiding citizen.
