195 The Tenth Store
◎What kind of monsters are the errand runners?◎
The periphery is full of zombies, and they are moving towards the center of the crowd bit by bit. Although their movements are slow, they are huge in number.
With so many zombies surrounding them, it won’t take more than a few minutes for the dozen living people in the middle to be torn into pieces, which is not enough for them to have a full meal.
Under the pressure of the death that is coming at an extremely fast speed, Chen Xin’s screams not only did not win the sympathy and concern of his companions, but also hit everyone’s already tense nerves with a heavy hammer.
Everyone saw the wound on Chen Xin’s left hand, and without thinking, they quickly retreated and distanced themselves from him completely.
When Chen Xin was the captain, he was very skilled.
If he turned into a zombie, ordinary people might not be able to chop off his head.
Ordinary zombies move very slowly, have no obvious thinking ability, and act completely on instinct, relying on sound, breath and blood smell to find living people. However, basic physical conditions such as weight and height still have a significant impact on the zombie's form and attack strength.
The survivors of the two teams subconsciously moved in the direction of Lu Mingxiao and Lu Yao. It was unknown what the relationship between this girl who suddenly appeared and the instructor was, but her easy killing of the mutant zombie gave everyone a strong shock. She and the instructor's side were undoubtedly the safest area at the moment.
The team members quietly distanced themselves from Chen Xin and moved towards Lu Yao and Lu Mingxiao. Even Chen Yu and An Xia quietly stood beside them.
An Xia looked at Lu Yao with a particularly complicated expression. Her eyes could not help but fall on Lu Yao's wrist. In just a few seconds, the knives connected to the ends of the red lines were put back into the knife sheath.
She didn't bring this knife sheath when they met last time. The knives were so sharp that they were a little scary. The blades didn't even touch the zombies just now, but they cut them all.
It's not her who is powerful, but the weapon.
An Xia looked at the knife sheath tied to Lu Yao's leg calmly, and a faint light flashed in her eyes.
After a long separation, Lu Yao had never experienced such joy before. She hung on Lu Mingxiao and was reluctant to get off. While he was daydreaming, she lowered her head and pecked him twice on the face, with an even brighter smile on her face.
Lu Mingxiao suddenly came back to his senses, met her smiling eyes, lowered his eyelids, clenched the hand that had just thrown the potato into a fist, and slowly lowered it, her voice without any ups and downs: "Come down."
Lu Yao could already accurately identify his awkward restraint and entanglement, and smiled: "Let go."
Lu Mingxiao supported Lu Yao with one hand, turned away from her and said: "... go down by yourself."
The search team members couldn't help but be confused. The instructor was very reluctant. It seemed that it was not the kind of relationship they thought. Was it a misunderstanding?
An Xia and Xie Yu looked at each other. There was no longer any hierarchy between the captain and the deputy captain. There was a hint of competition.
No matter what the relationship between the instructor and Lu Yao was, he/she had to do everything he could to survive and follow the two men closely.
The zombies on all sides kept surrounding the center. Zhao Ye couldn't understand what the humans were thinking. They didn't feel any sense of urgency and just rushed to the shop owner.
He had no choice but to be the one who didn't know what was going on and reminded him loudly: "Shop owner, the zombies are coming over. You'd better find a way out as soon as possible."
The members of the search team were immediately excited when they heard this: It turns out that there is really a way to get out. What kind of monsters are these?
The Dream-Fulfilling System had been holding back from saying anything, but couldn't help but blurt out, "Don't get too used to this guy. I think his tail is about to fly up to the sky, and he has a stinky face."
For some reason, the Dream-Fulfilling System now finds Lu Mingxiao more and more unpleasant. Lu Yao
jumped to the ground, raised her head and scanned the surroundings, and then she noticed An Xia, Xie Yu and the team members behind them.
She was in a good mood and greeted them, "See you again."
An Xia and Xie Yu nodded awkwardly, thinking of their attitude towards Lu Yao yesterday, they were still a little nervous.
She wouldn't ignore them, right?
Lu Yao looked up at Lu Mingxiao: "We are getting ready to go. Do you want to go to the store with me?"
She turned her head happily, and the reality was in front of her again. Lu Yao had no idea what the specific situation was with Lu Mingxiao, nor did she know whether he would go with her this time.
The things that happened in Fushi Continent were vivid in her mind. Whether she was willing or not, Lu Yao couldn't let everything go on her mind like before. Even if she didn't think about it deliberately, she couldn't help but miss this person.
She felt as if she was getting closer and closer to the Lu Yao in her memory step by step.
If they let it go like this, would they have the same ending again?
There were only two options for the answer, but Lu Yao couldn't accurately choose the correct answer.
So she decided to be lazy and let Lu Mingxiao choose.
Lu Mingxiao's heart suddenly ached. The last time was when she made all the decisions on her own at such a subtle moment.
At that time, he had not yet fully understood the human race, and he had never tried to understand her determination.
It should have been only a few months since they last parted, but she didn't know when the haze had hidden in her eyes again.
Just like that winter night, she calmly told him that she was going to Qianmen Mountain to see the snow.
Lu Mingxiao half-closed his eyelids, his long eyelashes drooped slightly: "Well, I'll go with you."
Before his wish came true, he would never leave her alone in the snow again, nor would he die before her again.
Lu Yao thought he would refuse as before, or at least say a few words to defend himself, but he was surprised by his sudden frankness. His emotions were inexplicably high. He raised his hand and pointed in a direction: "Then let's go out in this direction."
Zhao Ye turned his head to look at the direction chosen by Lu Yao, sensed it slightly, and looked a little strange: "There are the most zombies in that direction, about twice as many as the weakest direction. But turn right and you will reach the consultation hall, which is closest to the main entrance."
A member of the search team asked: "How did you know?"
He let the cat out of the bag without paying attention, and Zhao Ye raised his eyes to look at Lu Yao. Lu Yao
didn't notice the clerk's eyes asking for help. He turned around and walked in the chosen direction, raising his right wrist: "Expected to break out in three minutes, you two follow me closely."
The search team members and the two captains heard something wrong from this sentence. Xie Yu felt uneasy, but he could only pretend to be calm. He didn't dare to question Lu Yao, and looked at Lu Mingxiao expectantly: "Instructor, what about us?"
Lu Mingxiao didn't say a word, and stood quietly behind Lu Yao.
After several encounters, Lu Yao didn't like the Hope Base's style of doing things, but in the current situation, abandoning this group of people would be tantamount to murder, and she didn't want to do good deeds in vain, so she winked at Zhao Ye.
Zhao Ye understood, touched his bag, walked over awkwardly, and whispered: "The flyers have been distributed."
Lu Yao took out a new stack from the cloth bag and handed it to him.
Zhao Ye held up the flyer and turned around and shouted: "The situation is urgent. This is the business scope and charging standards of our store. Please read it quickly and make a decision within 30 seconds whether to place an order."
The people in the seventh team didn't understand. The members of the tenth team had seen the flyer yesterday. Some of them didn't even look at it, and immediately took out gold jewelry from the inner pocket of their clothes: "I'll place an order. Please give me a business card immediately."
The people in the seventh team were stunned.
Gold has been useless for a long time, so why do people still carry gold jewelry with them?
More than one member of the tenth team has gold jewelry on them. After the first person came forward, three more people took out gold bracelets and necklaces and asked Zhao Ye to place orders.
These people were on guard when they met Lu Yao's team yesterday. Even though An Xia strongly opposed their collection of gold at that time, they still secretly took some gold and hid it on their bodies.
At that time, they didn't expect to use it so soon. The current environment is unstable. They just want to prepare more in case they can use it in the future. At
noon today, they arrived at the Gold Building again to collect supplies. When they passed by the smashed gold counter, these people took some more.
Zhao Ye was in charge of calculating the bills and collecting the gold. The sparrow brother took out business cards from the cloth bag and handed them to the team members who had paid. Lu
Yao took out three pens from his cloth bag and handed them over: "Hurry up."
An Xia and Xie Yu were pushed aside, feeling embarrassed, regretful, and anxious. They had a mixture of emotions.
They had passed by the gold counter in the Golden Building several times yesterday and today, but neither of them had thought that it might be useful to take some and hide them on their bodies.
At this time, a young team member handed over a bracelet: "Captain An, Deputy Captain Xie, do you want to place an order?"
An Xia and Xie Yu's expressions instantly became complicated.
This team member had just joined the team and was severely scolded by An Xia when he was moving supplies in the Golden Building at noon.
Facing his friendly expression, An Xia lowered her head and couldn't open her mouth.
Xie Yu took it without thinking and said gratefully, "Thank you."
The team member shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I saw the seniors taking some before, so I took some too. Anyway, I have more. Just get out of here quickly, I want to go back to the base."
The team member gave Xie Yu a gold bracelet weighing seven or eight grams, which was enough for him and An Xia to place an order.
The other team members also took out gold and distributed it to their teammates, and the remaining dozen or so people did not fall behind.
Except for Chen Xin.
He was still conscious, but the bitten skin had begun to rot, and it would be a matter of time before he turned into a complete zombification.
No matter how he begged, the members of Team 7 and Team 10 avoided him.
It is the instinct of living things to seek benefits and avoid harm, and humans are no exception. Chen Xin, who was bitten, can no longer be considered their companion.
The zombie army was in sight, and the customers were placing orders one after another. Lu Yao pulled out the short sword that he had been carrying on his back, held the sword in his left hand, and said to Zhao Ye: "I will go in front, you follow behind to ensure the safety of the customers."
Zhao Ye took out three black triangular boomerangs from the cloth bag.
This was the magic weapon given to him by Jiao Niang. It was made of deep-sea black iron. It was sharp and delicate, and easy to operate. It was just right for a little demon like him who had just touched the door of cultivation.
The owner was cleaning up the zombies in front, and he only had to deal with the fish that slipped through the net.
This task was not difficult. Even if there was a wave of zombies chasing behind, they would soon be left behind when they moved.
Although the search team placed an order to run errands, they were not optimistic about whether they could escape smoothly.
They could see that the errand runners' ability to survive was much higher than theirs, but the current situation was that there were zombies everywhere, and if they wanted to get out safely, they had to make a way out of the zombie tide.
Chen Xin was only hit by a falling potato and his skin was broken. They still had to take the initiative to rush into the pile of zombies, and their survival rate was probably infinitely close to zero.
All the team members who placed orders prayed in their hearts, praying to the gods and Buddhas to bless them to survive this.
After arranging the formation, Lu Yao held the sword in her left hand and controlled the short knife in her right hand, and rushed towards the group of zombies without hesitation.
Her speed was so fast that she left an afterimage, and she pushed forward like a lawn mower, and the potatoes with skins rolled down in rows wherever she passed.
An Xia was the first to rush out, and followed Lu Yao closely, fearing that she would be left behind.
Xie Yu was a step behind her, and hurried to catch up in frustration, and the team members finally reacted.
The red line dagger has a wide and flexible attack range.
Lu Yao tried his best to clear a wide path, and then used the sword in his left hand to make up for it. Lu Mingxiao lagged behind Lu Yao by half a meter, walking on her left, cleaning up the fallen corpses from time to time to prevent them from touching the corners of her clothes. Zhao
Ye, who fell to the end, had almost no room to display his skills, and could only urge the slower guests not to fall behind.
In just a distance of dozens of meters, the guests' mentality has changed dramatically.
As a search team with a survival rate several times higher than that of ordinary people, they had never seen such a brutal and efficient way of breaking out. Walking in the middle of the team, they seemed to be closely protected by dozens of bodyguards. Those hideous monsters who insisted on sticking to them could not even touch the corners of their clothes.
In less than two minutes, the team of nearly 20 people successfully broke away from the zombie group behind them and came to the spacious consultation hall. At this time, everyone was less than 30 meters away from the exit of the hospital.
Lu Yao suddenly stopped and raised his hand to make a "stop" gesture.
Everyone stopped. No need to explain, they had already seen the tragic situation ahead.
Torn pieces of meat were scattered in the middle of the consultation hall. A tall zombie in a white coat was leaning over the pile of meat with his back to the crowd, feasting on it. There were scattered zombies wandering around the consultation hall
, twisting their heads, staring blankly at the pile of meat that exuded a strong fishy smell, but they didn't come close to "enjoy" it together.
The members of the seventh team recognized the pieces of clothing hanging on the pieces of meat, and the dark blue denim fabric was particularly eye-catching. They screamed in surprise: "Brother Gao and Brother Li, how could this happen!!!"
Lu Yao frowned: "When I came in, the three men followed behind. I reminded them at the door, but it seems they didn't take it seriously."
In fact, the three men had no good intentions when they caught up with them.
Lu Yao heard a lot of dirty talk and patiently reminded them once.
Zhao Ye's face turned very bad: "It was him we met on the sixth floor. He was incredibly fast and very strong, completely different from ordinary zombies. Now it seems that the signal he sent with the mirror was probably a means of hunting."
Lu Yao: "While he is eating, we..." Before he
finished speaking, the green-skinned zombie not far away raised his head and slowly stood up.
When he walked towards the crowd, he was still chewing, and the sound of his teeth rolling over the raw meat and sticky blood made a "crunching" sound, which, combined with his half bloody face, made people's scalps numb.
He wore glasses, his pupils were gray and unfocused, but he walked towards the crowd accurately.
Xie Yu looked at the exit which was only a few dozen meters away. The hope of life was within reach, but it seemed that he would never reach the safe shore. His emotions almost collapsed: "What should I do?" Lu Yao
sighed, got ready, hid his right hand behind his back, and raised the short sword in his left hand: "Don't scream, and don't run around."
Even though the speed of the green-skinned zombie was much faster than that of ordinary zombies, Lu Yao could easily capture his movement trajectory.
She hid the red-line dagger in her right hand, took the initiative to move forward, and slowly distanced herself from the guest behind her.
The short sword in her left hand was a bait. While the green-skinned zombie leaned back to avoid the short sword, Lu Yao controlled six short swords to fly out from four directions: up, down, left, and right, to cut off his hands and feet first.
When he lost the ability to move, she threw out the last dagger. The thin blade flew out with gentle force, leaving a faint line of blood on his frail neck.
The green-skinned zombie seemed to be stunned for a moment, and the corners of his lips were about to rise, as if ready to laugh at her.
Before the corners of his mouth rose, his vision suddenly became strange. The green potatoes rolled twice on the ground, and he saw his body falling straight forward.
Lu Yao put away the seven daggers and short swords, exhaled slowly, clapped his hands, turned around and greeted the guests: "Let's go."
The stunned search team came to their senses and couldn't believe that they had survived the life-and-death crisis.
What kind of monsters are the errand runners?
After walking out of the hospital gate smoothly, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The suppressed emotions just now burst out. Someone raised his hands and ran wildly towards the road crying loudly. After running a few steps, he stopped again, raised his hands to cover his mouth tightly, and looked around in fear.
Zombies are particularly sensitive to sounds at night.
Lu Yao, Lu Mingxiao and Zhao Ye fell behind.
In a few minutes, they successfully completed the seventeen errands, which was not a loss.
Lu Yao had been running around all day. After a high concentration, she felt particularly tired when she relaxed. She shook her head vigorously, pointed to the roadside and said: "The car is on the other side of the road. We can finally go back."
Zhao Ye was a little worried about Lu Yao and kept looking back to observe her condition.
Lu Mingxiao walked silently to Lu Yao's side, leaned over and gently supported her with his shoulder.
Lu Yao couldn't help laughing.
The three of them walked slowly in the night wind, hoping that the people from the base were standing by the road, as if waiting for them.
