Chapter 069 Zombie Apocalypse 7
Xie Yunsui had not seen any mention of someone trying to detonate the central area in the life experiences of Ji Tianyuan and the other three.
Except for Ji Tianyuan, the three people should have died when they broke into the convenience store that day.
If Xie Yunsui had not appeared in the store first and smashed the Venus flytrap that was occupying its territory, they would have fallen directly into the Venus flytrap's mouth as soon as they broke in.
Only Ji Tianyuan was lucky enough to escape this disaster, leave safely, and return to the Longqi Base in the East District.
In the original world line without Xie Yunsui's intervention, Ji Tianyuan was devastated after returning, and soon died when he was framed while going out with the wild team and was fed to the zombies.
Oh no, calculating the time, it seems that Ji Tianyuan died today in the original world line.
Xie Yunsui didn't know whether the central area detonation was successful.
He slowly raised his eyes and his gaze fell on the people in the SUV.
They should all be able to survive tonight. No matter who it is, as long as they are defeated by him, they can take a look at his life experience.
Who should I choose to beat up?
Xie Yunsui didn't have time to choose someone because his prolonged gaze attracted Liang Hongyu's attention.
Liang Hongyu was the first to notice that something was wrong with the shadow in a small shop nearby.
The next second, a sharp metal arrow pierced through the wall and headed straight for Xie Yunsui's face.
The sharp arrow broke through the wind, and even though Xie Yunsui dodged as hard as he could, a bloody mark was still left on his face in a flash.
The aroma of fresh blood, which contains extremely high energy, wafts in the air.
The zombies on the entire street became active.
Even the pitcher plants that had been quietly forming a green cage forest in front of us intentionally stretched out their new branches and leaves, wanting to explore what was inside.
Seeing this scene, Liang Hongyu knew that the other party must have been hit by an arrow.
Only the smell of blood can induce these mutated creatures to go on a carnival.
But why didn’t I hear anyone falling or making any sound?
Liang Hongyu was startled, thinking that there might be more than one person squatting nearby.
Xie Yunsui drank a bottle of hemostatic potion, and the wound on his cheek stopped bleeding. He did not notice the two drops of blood on the ground.
He picked up the sharp arrow on the ground. It was made entirely of metal, but it was very light, as if only a layer of metal skin was used.
A gold-type mutant who can forge metal into this shape must be at least at the third level in strength.
If nothing unexpected happens, that person should be Liang Hongyu, the person in charge of the West District in Ji Tianyuan's impression.
In Ji Tianyuan's life memory, there are not many people with special abilities who can reach the third level in the entire City C, there are only five in total, and Liang Hongyu is the only gold-type among the third level.
Xie Yunsui had long wanted to travel around the four bases and find the "rich people" in the bases to promote his convenience store.
It was easy to increase transaction volume in the previous two worlds, but in this world, zombies are rampant and ordinary people can only stay in safe bases.
I'm afraid I can only rely on transaction volume to fill Xiao Wan's energy gap.
It would be best to find the leader of the base, and it would be best if he could complete a large transaction, the kind that can make a net profit of 300,000 crystal cores in one transaction.
At least it can extend Xiao Wan's life by one month.
Thinking of this, Xie Yunsui took the arrow and went out, saying in a very friendly manner: "Hello, is this yours?"
Liang Hongyu: "..."
He narrowed his eyes and looked inside the shop again, but there was nothing else wrong.
The other people in the car were checking the locations of other stores and high-rise buildings.
Liang Hongyu said calmly: "It's mine."
Seeing the man take a step forward as if to return the arrow to him, Liang Hongyu subconsciously gripped the steering wheel, with the small arrow in the palm of his other hand ready to shoot.
In Xie Yunsui's eyes, with his movement, the energy of the three people in the car suddenly increased, as if they were all going to attack Xie Yunsui in the next second.
Alas, this is the bad thing about the end of the world. Everyone is very wary.
Xie Yunsui stopped walking, still smiling gently: "I didn't mean to offend you. I was cleaning up the zombies here, and I happened to hear the noise, so I hid."
This is the normal reaction of a normal person.
Liang Hongyu said: "I haven't seen you before, aren't you from the West District?"
Xie Yunsui said, "Yes, I live in the central district."
The people in the car immediately exchanged glances and saw incredible expressions in each other's eyes.
Liang Hongyu sneered: "The Central District is a paradise for mutant plants. Living in the Central District... do you think I would believe it?"
Xie Yunsui's expression did not change.
Liang Hongyu's sneer slowly subsided.
"Hey! He's a survivor after all, why do you care where he came from?"
Suddenly, a cheerful voice rang out from the passenger seat. As the car door opened, a 5-foot-tall, burly man got out and gave Xie Yunsui a simple smile. "Excuse me, our captain is used to being very cautious."
He casually killed two zombies, walked towards Xie Yunsui, and stretched out his hand, saying, "He Lai, from the West District, I'm not a superpower. Our captain saw that I was honest, so he brought me out to see the world."
He certainly didn't have any special abilities, but with his muscular body, he didn't look like someone who was just "seeing the world."
Fortunately, Xie Yunsui didn't care about it. He shook hands with him, returned Liang Hongyu's arrow to him, and said, "Xie Yunsui, a third-level space-based ability user."
"Space system..." It's still level three. He Lai was very surprised and looked around: "Are you alone?"
Xie Yunsui smiled and said, "I don't have a team."
He Lai was genuinely shocked. "You live alone...in the central district?"
Xie Yunsui said, "I just came to City C and don't know much, so I opened a convenience store in the central district."
He Lai: “…”
Several people in the car who heard clearly: "..."
Their eyes couldn't help but move slightly to Xie Yunsui's head.
You said that you are a person with spatial ability, but instead of staying in any of the major bases, you came to a dangerous place like the Central District and opened a convenience store?
He Lai said hoarsely: "What are you selling?"
"Food, drink, medicine, everything."
"Do you have instant noodles?"
"have."
"How many crystal cores can be exchanged for a pack of instant noodles?"
"Five crystal cores."
"What!!!"
Not only He Lai, but everyone in the car was shocked when they heard the price.
In order to show that he really had instant noodles, Xie Yunsui took out two boxes in front of everyone.
Kang Kang instant noodles, 20 packs per box.
He Lai didn't recognize this brand, but before the end of the world, there were countless small brands from different factories. He had never investigated them one by one and just thought they were made in a small workshop.
As long as it’s edible instant noodles, I don’t care about that anymore.
Every space ability user is a treasure. Which space ability user who has survived to the present day is not regarded as a treasure by major bases?
Space-type ability users have no means of self-protection in the early stages, and if there is no one to protect them, they can easily die.
This leads to the fact that space ability users with stronger survival levels have better ability teams to associate with, but there are almost no wild ones.
She is the only first-level space-ability user in their base. All the members of her original team have died one after another. The space she has is only the size of a small warehouse of ten square meters, and all the major ability user teams are vying for it.
Now! What did they see!
A wild! Level 3! Space-based esper!!!
He Lai's gaze towards Xie Yunsui changed.
It was as if Xie Yunsui was no longer a person, but a mobile, super-large warehouse with countless supplies.
Shouldn't this lead to the base?
Even Liang Hongyu, who had a stern face, got out of the car.
"I sincerely invite Mr. Xie to our West District. You can open a convenience store in any size you want. We can offer more than just instant noodles. If you have other good things, we in the West District can give you a suitable price."
He Lai added, "As long as you are willing to stay in the West District, we will provide you with one hundred zombie crystal cores every day as a subsidy. Of course, if we are lucky enough to obtain a space crystal core, we will give it to you first."
Liang Hongyu added: "I deeply apologize for almost injuring Mr. Xie just now. Here are about two hundred zombie crystal cores, just as an apology gift."
"No need to apologize. I can sell you these two boxes of instant noodles."
Xie Yunsui pondered for a moment, wondering whether to go with them.
He has wasted more than ten days looking for Xiaoxi.
Transportation is inconvenient now, and he doesn't know Xiaoxi's appearance or name in this world, so it is even more inconvenient to find her.
According to Xiaoxi's life trajectory, he is bound to die early, so the sooner we find him, the better.
But if he just followed them, what would happen to his convenience store?
He had only been dating the two girls for a week's probation period. He had planned to secretly visit the four major bases within the week to look for someone, but if Liang Hongyu took him back, he would probably not be able to get away for a while.
He Lai noticed that his expression was not right and asked, "Mr. Xie, do you have any other concerns?"
Xie Yunsui raised his eyes and glanced at Liang Hongyu: "...Can you play rock-paper-scissors?"
Liang Hongyu:?
Although it felt strange, I stretched out my hand.
One minute later.
Xie Yunsui and Liang Hongyu's group of five finished guessing rock-paper-scissors. After Xie Yunsui's kind suggestion and the other party's deliberate letting go, Xie Yunsui, as expected, won over the five people.
"Wait a minute, give me half an hour to think about it."
Xie Yunsui returned to the store where there were no zombies. Amid the puzzled gazes of several people, his consciousness immersed in the Wanjie Shop.
Oh, I wish Xiao Wanneng could be upgraded to the point where he could transmit these people’s lives directly into his brain.
Xie Yunsui complained silently in his heart while quickly checking the biographies of the five people.
There was nothing interesting to see before the apocalypse, so we skipped it all. From the apocalypse onwards, Xie Yunsui was distracted and did not see any trace of Xiaoxi's existence in their memories.
As the time came to today, the five people used the radio to contact Lynch, a chemical industry tycoon at the base.
Using equipment from two university laboratories, he made several homemade bombs.
Before the end of the world, the military defense levels of various countries in this world were similar, not very high, and no nuclear weapons had been developed.
In the early days of the apocalypse, in order to deal with zombies, governments of various countries consumed a large amount of armaments to fight against zombies, but unfortunately they underestimated the scale of this apocalypse.
The continuous bombing did not defeat the zombies, but instead the number of zombies increased.
What's more, even more terrifying mutated creatures were born in the places that were hit by the bombs.
Nowadays, people are more dependent on people with special abilities.
At least the psychics can really clean up the zombies.
In this case, the bombs developed by Lynch were not originally intended to deal with zombies and mutated creatures.
Liang Hongyu wanted to take over the central area by surprise and not give the other three bases a chance to react, so he thought of moving the bomb over to use it.
That night, Liang Hongyu launched an attack, dropping five bombs into the central area, causing five explosions.
There were also people with special abilities fanning the flames (in the physical sense), and the mutated green plants were blown to pieces and burned by the raging fire, leaving them with nowhere to escape.
After seeing the fire, Xie Yunsui thought that the Central District would definitely fall into the hands of the Western District.
Somehow, after a night of burning fire, these pitcher plants and Venus flytraps mutated to become even stronger.
They don't care about the humans and zombies on their territory at all, and spread out everything they have, like a real man-eating giant, eating whatever they can catch.
Even if a group of branches and leaves are cut down by the psychics, the new branches and leaves are ready to grow quickly.
Pitcher plants and Venus flytraps have completely taken over the entire City C.
On the third day after Liang Hongyu launched a surprise attack on the central area, the entire City C became a dead city.
There are no zombies, no humans, and no buildings here.
Only pitcher plants and Venus flytraps each occupy half of the market.
Xie Yunsui: "..."
Wait, did he miss something?
