Chapter 080 Zombie Apocalypse 18
Walk forward from the elevator entrance, ignore the Venus flytrap with its fangs and claws bared, follow the stems and leaves to look at the roots, and you will find a white bone where it takes root.
All the flesh and blood that could serve as fertilizer has disappeared, and the roots are entangled with the bones. One can vaguely see the direction in which the bones fell to the ground - towards the elevator entrance.
Xie Yunsui continued forward, one, two...
Judging from the direction and posture of these bones, there were many conflicts during the chaotic time.
There are three households on the first floor. Judging from the decoration of these three households, they should all be occupied.
Especially the family downstairs from Xiaoxi's house. Seeing the set of toothbrushes and toothpaste in the bathroom, one can estimate that there are probably five people in this family.
Xie Yunsui found the room with the wedding photo hanging on the bedside and found the family album in the drawer.
Two old people, two adults, and a young man.
Judging from the photos, he should have no blood relationship with Xiaoxi's family, nor does he seem to have a blood relationship with Xiaoxi's parents.
Why is Xiaoxi so resistant to the downstairs?
Xie Yunsui looked in every room. There were only two skeletons in the house. According to the age of the skeletons, they should belong to two elderly people.
This doesn't mean anything. It only means that three people in the family escaped?
Xie Yunsui searched the house for a long time, but all the electronic products left behind were unusable, and the safe in the master bedroom was completely empty. He could hardly find anything to prove the family's identity.
There are not many books in the study. Most of them have been bought but never read. They are just decorations on the bookshelf.
Xie Yunsui searched for a long time before finding an old man's diary.
The diary has become brittle due to weathering, and the ink has also smudged. On the first page, you can vaguely see a name: Lang.
This surname is not common. Xie Yunsui suddenly recalled the name of a base leader, Lang Hao.
Xie Yunsui took the photo away, but was worried when he left, so he went upstairs again.
He put the food at the door, but he was afraid that Xiaoxi would think he took the food away, so he had to tell him.
As soon as I went up the stairs, I saw a conflicted figure at Xiaoxi's door.
He was wrapped in thick clothes from head to toe, with only his eyes exposed. He walked out by candlelight, walking very carefully.
This reminded Xie Yunsui of the previous world, when he and Xiaoxi went to the secret room of the haunted house to play. Xiaoxi also moved step by step, fearing that someone would suddenly appear next to him.
Xie Yunsui's five senses were strengthened, so he could walk normally even in the building with insufficient light. Therefore, he did not turn on the lights and stepped heavily to avoid scaring the people upstairs.
When Lu Xizhou heard the footsteps, he shuddered at first, then quickly walked towards his own door. Then he realized that the footsteps were familiar and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"You...you're back."
Lu Xizhou spoke first, his face lit by the candlelight, looking awkward. "I just... I'm sorry, I'm not mad at you."
Because you wanted to apologize, you ran out to find him despite your fear?
Xie Yunsui was stunned.
Lu Xizhou lowered his eyebrows and said, "Don't stay at their house. There are bad people in their house."
"Did their family hurt you?" Xie Yunsui asked in a low voice.
Lu Xizhou remained silent and subconsciously pinched his left arm.
Xie Yunsui smiled and said, "I was wrong. I live in the convenience store next to the building. It's not far away, just upstairs and downstairs."
After a pause, he added, "You should be able to see where I live from the window of the small study. I'll come and bring you food every day."
Lu Xizhou nodded slowly.
Xie Yunsui continued, "Now the currency outside has been exchanged for crystal cores. That's it. One meal only costs thirty crystal cores."
Lu Xizhou's eyes lit up: "I have a lot!"
"Well, then you don't need to withdraw money." Xie Yunsui looked at him with a smile: "The chicken soup inside is almost cold, take it in and eat it."
He was talking about the food that had been packed and left on the ground.
Lu Xizhou never took it home.
Only now, when he was sure that he could pay the reward, did he happily take the food away and give out thirty crystal cores.
This time, the reward was placed in Xie Yunsui's hands by Lu Xizhou himself. Thirty crystal cores required two hands to hold.
One hand is white with a hint of red, the other hand is white with a hint of green.
One hand is warm, the other is cold.
Two completely different states are reflected in one person, just like the Lu Xizhou who Xie Yunsui saw biting his wrist madly that day, and the Lu Xizhou who thanked him softly now.
Lu Xizhou handed the crystal core to Xie Yunsui, who also took it with both hands, his palms being much wider than his.
Following the clear lines on his palm, Lu Xizhou's gaze unconsciously fell on the throbbing skin on his wrist.
This is where the arteries pulsate.
Lu Xizhou licked his lips and suddenly smelled something sweeter than chicken soup.
He looked at the skin where the blood vessels were pulsating almost greedily. The Venus flytraps that had been quietly staying upstairs and downstairs seemed to have received some kind of call and began to flock here.
As soon as Xie Yunsui saw his expression, she knew that he was about to lose his mind again.
But at least it had replenished its energy over the past few days and didn't suddenly pounce on him and bite his hand.
Xie Yunsui snapped his fingers in his ears, like a thunderclap, awakening him to his senses.
Lu Xizhou looked up blankly: "Hmm?"
Xie Yunsui smiled and said, "Let's go eat."
Although the naive Xiaoxi is also very cute, I have more urgent things to do, so I won’t stay to play with Xiaoxi.
-
"I'll give each of you a chance. As long as you can beat me, I'll let you go."
"Come one by one."
Xie Yunsui returned to the convenience store and began to deal with the North District team.
Apparently, after he left, these dozen people tried to save themselves in various ways, and when he came back, he saw that everyone looked exhausted.
Even so, he still tried his best to stare at Xie Yunsui.
Xie Yunsui didn't care whether they had used up all their superpowers or not, and directly let one person down. The person he chose happened to be the fire-type superpower user who was "fighting" with Hao Qing.
The man had just been put down and had not yet gotten used to the feeling of being on solid ground when he heard Xie Yunsui's words.
Beat him?
Haha, the fire-type mutant instantly became excited.
In the afternoon, he was caught off guard and was ambushed. Now in a face-to-face duel, a fire-type mutant can't beat an auxiliary-type space-type mutant?
The fire-type psychic paused and said, "You have to promise not to imprison us in this way again!"
Xie Yunsui didn't even take the sword, but directly took a wooden baseball bat from the shelf.
"Don't worry, I don't need any special abilities."
The fire-type mutant was about to mock him for being arrogant, but the next second he was swept away by the wind from the stick and was rolling and crawling.
"Wait a minute—I'm not—a ...
It was obvious that even if he was well prepared, he could not beat Xie Yunsui.
There were no other customers in the store. Xie Yunsui completely dropped his polite and gentle appearance. His temperament changed so much that it scared people so much that their legs went weak.
After being beaten by Xie Yunsui and then hung from the ceiling, these people grimaced but could do nothing.
Is this the kind of force a space-based psychic should have?
Hey brother, were you really not involved in antisocial activities before the end of the world?
We are people with special abilities, please respect us!
Although they are called people with special abilities, in Xie Yunsui's eyes, these people's research on special abilities is still very shallow, just like those magic students in the adventure world who have just awakened their magical affinity elements.
The attack mode is also very simple, fire type uses fireball, water type uses waterball.
The wood and earth elements will send out vines and earth walls to surround him, but the lead time to using the ability is too long.
The only one who was a little special was Zou Yao, the only user of thunder-type abilities. However, because he consumed too much of his abilities when attacking the ceiling in the afternoon, he couldn't use any abilities at all now.
Without his special powers, he was like a plucked chicken, unable to even stand up.
Xie Yunsui lost all desire to fight and was defeated almost mechanically.
The life experiences of these people are almost the same as Liang Hongyu's, ending on the day when the alien plants occupied City C.
No matter how powerful and domineering they were before, in front of more powerful creatures, they were no more worth mentioning than the ordinary humans they despised.
Zou Yao didn't have much contact with Lang Hao from the East District. He only heard of his name but had never seen him in person.
Lang Hao, your home is in the Central District, why did you choose the East District to establish a base?
It seems I still have to go to the East District Base.
Just as he was about to put away the memory video, Xie Yunsui suddenly found something wrong and called up the memories of those people before to watch them together.
The alien plants occupied City C and expanded slowly from the center outward. The leaders of the four major bases all sent people to monitor the alien plants and were ready to retreat at any time if there was any unusual movement.
Zou Yao and Liang Hongyu both fled to the suburbs with their elite teams, breaking through the buffer zone outside the base, with zombies in front and alien plants behind.
Although the number of people with special abilities in the team is about the same, Liang Hongyu's side is obviously in a much worse situation.
Only then did Xie Yunsui notice the woman that Zou Yao always kept by his side.
"Healing system?"
There is also a very rare healing ability user in Zou Yao’s base.
Any wound touched by the hands of a person with healing abilities can heal quickly. Even if an arm is broken, as long as there is a trace of skin adhesion, it can be healed in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
Xie Yunsui also discovered that once Zou Yao used his superpowers excessively, the healing superpower user would give Zou Yao various massages.
In just half an hour, Zou Yao's depleted supernatural powers seemed to be replenished.
While other psychics were still frantically collecting crystal cores, he was already able to play again.
Xie Yunsui was certain that he had used up all his supernatural powers for an hour when fighting Zou Yao today.
It takes an hour to replenish any special ability, but the healing system can be replenished in half an hour.
This healing system is amazing.
It was also because of this healing system that on the last day of the escape, he accidentally slipped into the cage of the pitcher plant. Zou Yao spent three psychics but failed to rescue him, and all the talents of the entire North District base were lost.
However, what caught Xie Yunsui's attention was that this healing method required touching the person being treated with the hands.
Seeing the way he touched the wound, Xie Yunsui couldn't help but think of Xiaoxi touching his two pots of grass on the small balcony.
That's not petting, that's treating the plants?
Do plants need treatment too?
No, wait.
Healing-type psychics can also replenish their abilities, which, in layman's terms, is energy transfer.
Did Xiaoxi use his healing ability to feed the alien plants in the entire central area?
But isn’t Xiaoxi a zombie that hasn’t fully mutated?
Xie Yunsui has a headache.
