Chapter 146 The Boss’s Canary (9)
Xiao He had been spending lavishly recently, and the news soon spread throughout the base.
Before buying Jiang Ye, she only came to the auction house three times a year, and every time she came, she was selling things and never buying.
After buying Jiang Ye, he spent money like water, even more than the most generous psychic in the entire base.
This scene caught the eyes of many people and gave rise to many thoughts.
Especially those camps that had sent several young men to Xiao He before but were rejected.
As one of the only few level five psychics in the base, many people began to get anxious as they saw her abilities becoming more and more stable.
Rather than pulling Xiao He into their own camp, they were more worried that Xiao He would join other camps and pose a threat to them.
A few days later, a secret meeting was held at the base.
Several camps that seemed to be fighting endlessly gathered together and discussed secretly.
Since you can't get it, no one else can get it either.
Moreover, the amount of supplies they have is gradually decreasing and is clearly insufficient, so they must find a way to fill it.
Less than a week after the meeting, Xiao He was training in the training ground when he received a mission personally assigned by the base.
Go to City A, which is far away from the Blue Star Base, to rescue a group of trapped people.
Xiao He was a little confused.
"Trapped people? Are they ordinary people or people with special abilities? Why haven't I heard of anyone going on a mission to City A before?"
The staff member who came to issue the mission said, "I don't know. This is a mission issued by the base."
Xiao He hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
The members of the first team have rested for more than a month since their last mission. It is time to go out and practice to prevent their strength from declining.
More importantly, when Xiao He upgraded his superpowers last time, he used up all the crystal cores in the space.
It is extremely inconvenient in the base without a crystal core.
She had to go out and collect some more crystal cores for emergency use. She could also practice and see how far her spatial attack power had developed.
After gathering all the members of the first team and getting ready, they set off on time early the next morning.
The last time they went out on a mission, all the members of the first team had already made a lot of money, and they didn't have to worry about supplies even if they didn't leave the base for a year.
This mission was entirely to help the base director Zhou Jianan. There were no task indicators, so the journey was particularly easy.
Everyone was talking and laughing.
Jiang Ye sat next to Xiao He with a serious expression, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"I used to live in City A," he said.
Xiao He thought about it carefully.
"It seems there's no base in City A. How did you end up living there?"
Eighty years ago, the apocalypse broke out and zombies swept across the world. City A was one of the first cities to fall.
Jiang Ye replied: "That was a long time ago."
The vehicle slowly drove into City A. The once prosperous buildings had been eroded by wind and frost and were covered with vines. The shops that could still be vaguely identified were now in a mess, with broken glass all over the ground and abandoned vehicles everywhere on the streets.
In the desolate alleys, you can occasionally see one or two zombies wandering around.
The members of the first team were already accustomed to such scenes. After closing the windows, they talked and laughed in the car.
Xiao He had been to City A several times before. There weren't actually that many zombies here, so it wasn't difficult to pick someone up. Therefore, Xiao He didn't discuss the team members' playfulness.
Once they receive survivors who need rescue, they can evacuate quickly and return directly to the base.
This was according to the plan, but when Xiao He led his men to the agreed location, they found no survivors.
The time and place are correct, but now there is no one in sight.
"Are we too late? Could they have been bitten by zombies?" the team members said worriedly.
Xiao He frowned and immediately said, "Everyone, search separately to see if there are any clues left."
Everyone dispersed immediately.
Xiao He stood there, looking at the situation around him. At this time, Jiang Ye walked over with a worried look in his eyes.
"It's not safe here. We should leave as soon as possible."
Xiao He nodded slightly.
She just discovered it.
Since entering City A, several zombies have appeared around us one after another. However, when we arrived here, the surroundings were extremely quiet, and there was not even a single zombie.
There must be something wrong when something is abnormal.
Xiao He had encountered such situations several times when he was on a mission before, and he almost got into trouble every time.
Besides, the agreed meeting place is not very suitable.
The surrounding terrain is poor, easy to attack but difficult to defend. If a group of zombies rush in at this time, the entire first team will find it difficult to escape.
Xiao He's years of experience made her dare not stay in such a place for too long. She planned to leave this place as soon as the team members came back, and make plans after re-establishing contact with the base.
However, just as she made this decision, a loud noise suddenly came from the shopping mall next door. The sound of things falling and the roar of zombies mixed together, instantly breaking the tranquility of the entire block.
As soon as Xiao He heard this voice, alarm bells immediately rang in his heart.
Something went wrong!
She immediately took out her radio, ready to contact the other team members, but the zombies seemed to have been lying in ambush inside. They were extremely fast, and as soon as the sound was rang out, they rushed out of the mall in a black crowd, at least hundreds of them, and headed straight for Xiao He and Jiang Ye who were standing outside.
"run!"
Xiao He roared and threw out some huge rocks that had been put in the space in advance to temporarily block the zombies' footsteps, then pulled Jiang Ye up and ran to the side.
While running, he took out the radio to contact the team members who were still searching for survivors.
But when the signal was broadcast, there was a harsh noise and the signal disappeared.
When he first arrived here, Xiao He tested the radio signal carefully as usual. At that time, he could communicate normally, but now he couldn't connect, as if it was blocked by something.
Xiao He thought for a moment, threw the radio into the space, and quickly went into the alley with Jiang Ye.
There are many forked roads nearby, so it's easy to get rid of the zombies.
But after running for less than five minutes, Xiao He realized that she had miscalculated.
No matter where they ran, the zombies seemed to be able to find their location accurately and were simply haunting them.
A bit strange.
Those zombies were the lowest level zombies, how did they find them so quickly?
Xiao He was thinking when he suddenly heard a gunshot.
At first, she thought that there was a conflict between other team members and zombies, but gradually, Xiao He discovered that the gunshot was following her and Jiang Ye.
Every time they shook off the zombies, gunshots rang out, and soon, the zombies, which were particularly sensitive to sound, would follow.
It was as if they were guiding the zombies to find them!
Xiao He quickly turned his head and glanced around.
There must be someone watching them nearby.
She took Jiang Ye into a nearby building, avoiding the sight of those psychics, and then quickly went upstairs.
After reaching the roof, look around carefully.
The sound of gunfire leading the zombies rang out again. Xiao He immediately looked over and saw several people standing on the rooftop in the distance, aiming sniper rifles at the zombies.
But their purpose is not to kill the zombies, but to use sound to lure them over.
Xiao He narrowed his eyes slightly, saw the appearance of those people clearly, and was horrified.
Those people turned out to be psychics from the Blue Star Base, and they belonged to different camps and teams.
When Xiao He just became a level five mutant, these camps came to give Xiao He gifts.
Was it because she refused that she angered them, so they planned to join forces to strangle her?
Since the ability cannot be used for one's own benefit, it is better to destroy it to prevent it from becoming a threat in the future.
The mission the first team received was a trap from the very beginning.
So, in addition to the major factions in the base, even the base director Zhou Jianan is involved?
Xiao He felt a chill in his heart, regretting that he was so careless and had put the entire First Team in danger.
I don't know what's happening with the other members now.
When she thought of this, her eyes brightened.
At this time, the zombies had already arrived under the guidance of those psychics. Xiao He was running while planning:
"Something went wrong."
I had just opened my mouth when I didn't expect Jiang Ye to have already guessed it.
"Is someone trying to kill you?"
All the strange things along the way can reveal some clues.
Xiao He looked back at him and nodded.
"Their target is me. If you run separately from me, they probably won't chase you."
Jiang Ye didn't leave. He even relied on his own strength to stay close to Xiao He. He analyzed, "We need to get out of the city quickly and get to an open area so we can fight back."
"That's what I planned."
Xiao He smiled, threw a car out of the space with his backhand, and the two of them drove quickly straight out of the city.
Once they were in the open space, those people with special abilities would not be able to hide, and Xiao He would be able to confront them head-on.
The zombies behind him swarmed over, and almost all the zombies in the city were attracted.
This way, the other team members will be less in danger.
Soon, they arrived outside the city.
Xiao He and Jiang Ye were surrounded by zombies. While dealing with the danger in front of them, she kept an eye on the movements of those people with special abilities.
Sure enough, they followed.
Although Jiang Ye does not have special powers, his physical strength and flexibility are not inferior to other people with special powers. In addition, with the weapons and protective gear that Xiao He bought for him at the auction before, he can still protect himself.
"Wait here for me and attract their attention, but don't confront the zombies head-on. Do it within your capabilities. I'll go deal with those mutants."
As he spoke, a strong murderous intent flashed in Xiao He's eyes.
Jiang Ye knew that if he went over to her, he would only make things worse. Although he was worried, he still followed her instructions and continued to kill zombies to focus the attention of the psychics on himself.
At this time, Xiao He was in the center of the zombie group, while those psychics were lurking around them, with hundreds of zombies between them.
It is simply impossible to cross such a long distance without being noticed by the other party.
But Xiao He's supernatural attack power seemed to be born specifically for this purpose.
As soon as her fingers touched, she could quickly collect the zombies into the space, silently throw them into the black hole and tear them to pieces. As long as her speed was fast enough, no matter how many zombies there were, it would not be a problem.
The physical training that had been done day and night before now produced amazing results.
As soon as Xiao He finished talking to Jiang Ye, his body sprang out like a snake. Wherever he went, the zombies on both sides disappeared instantly, and he had forcibly opened up a passage.
Several psychics outside were hiding in the dark and observing, but the surging zombies blocked their view. When they finally saw clearly, they found that only Jiang Ye was there.
When he realized that he was not strong enough, a black shadow flashed by and Xiao He rushed out from the group of zombies. He raised his gun, shot and dodged at lightning speed.
The movements are done in one go.
Just as he reacted, the two psychics had already fallen to the ground.
"When did she come out?!"
The remaining three psychics exclaimed, quickly began to dodge, and at the same time used their psychics to fight back.
Xiao He was outnumbered, and since the other party knew about her special abilities, they kept their distance, making it difficult for her to get close.
But even so, Xiao He's attack did not weaken at all.
Although her supernatural powers could not be used, there were many weapons in the space. She threw away the empty gun, and the next second, a loaded gun appeared in her palm.
The intensive attacks did not give the opponent any chance to breathe.
Soon, it was the three psychics who lost their weapons. Due to long-term use of their powers, their physical strength began to decline rapidly.
They dodged and explained.
"We don't want to kill you. We just received orders and had to do it."
"Xiao He, if you are willing to join our camp, put down your weapons. I will go back and talk to the captain."
Xiao He didn't waste time arguing with them. Without saying a word, he directly took out a gun from the space.
The psychic cursed and fled in a panic.
"Damn, how many guns does she have hidden in her space?"
Everyone knew that people with spatial abilities would have their own private stash of cash, but no one had ever seen Xiao He have as much. It was simply inexhaustible.
Xiao He's physical strength is as inexhaustible as the things in her space. After all, all the training was not in vain.
No matter who encounters it, they can only curse at it.
While attacking, Xiao He observed the opponent's movements. When he found that they were short of energy and their movements were a little slow, he immediately rushed over like lightning.
He stretched out his hand, and the opponent's face changed drastically with fear. He was afraid that he would be thrown into the space and torn to pieces, so he used his last bit of strength to dodge.
After finally dodging it and breathing a sigh of relief, the next second, a knife appeared out of thin air in Xiao He's hand.
Pull the trigger.
The psychic fell to the ground.
Now, there are two people left.
Xiao He turned to look at the remaining two psychics, and was about to deal with them in one go when a sharp whistle suddenly came from the distance.
It's a gray zombie, and it's extremely fast!
Every time it jumped, its body bent and stretched like a bow, using its amazing jumping force to rush over. In just a blink of an eye, it was in front of them.
It's a speed-type zombie!
Xiao He's heart tightened. Seeing the pair of sharp claws right in front of him, he quickly stepped back and dodged, barely avoiding them.
Seeing that the first attack failed, the zombie turned around and pounced on the other two psychics.
They had already exhausted their energy and had no time to dodge. Their chests were pierced instantly and they lost their breath.
There is a high-level zombie living in City A. This has always been rumored by people with special abilities, but no one has ever actually seen it.
Xiao He had made preparations before coming, but she didn't expect that the opponent would be her nemesis - the speed-type zombie.
The zombie lowered its head and gnawed on the corpses of the two psychics for a while, its face covered in blood. Soon, it locked its target on Xiao He and jumped up and pounced on him.
Its body also underwent a certain degree of mutation. Its limbs became extremely slender, twice as long as its body. It was thin and bony, looking very much like a stick insect.
Xiao He dodged all the way. After two unsuccessful attempts to use her supernatural power, the opponent seemed to have noticed something and began to deliberately avoid her hands, making the attack more difficult.
None of the five psychics just now were as difficult to deal with as this high-level zombie.
Soon, Xiao He's physical strength began to decline, beads of sweat the size of beans oozed out of his forehead, and his breathing gradually became rapid.
At this moment, the high-level zombie in front suddenly let out a sharp roar, and the group of zombies not far away quickly turned around and stopped attacking Jiang Ye, but rushed towards this side.
A large number of zombies rushed over. Xiao He had to avoid their bites while dealing with the occasional attacks from high-level zombies. He was suddenly overwhelmed.
That high-level zombie was even more vicious. He often hid among the zombies and attacked Xiao He when he was not prepared, making him hard to defend against.
Just as the front paw threw the zombie into the space, a pitch-black claw suddenly appeared.
Xiao He did not retreat but advanced, suddenly grabbing its outstretched arm and was about to put it into the space, but the zombie was extremely fast and began to struggle continuously.
Seeing that he couldn't break free, another hand suddenly slapped over.
In their current state, Xiao He had no way to dodge. Once the sharp black claws scratched his skin, he would most likely get infected.
But the weapons in Xiao He's space were almost exhausted, and his physical strength was gradually depleted. If he continued to fight, he would definitely lose.
Now we can only take a chance.
Send it into the space black hole in one go. If it is really injured, with her identity as a psychic and the information of a healing psychic, there is still a chance for it to recover.
Xiao He thought so, without letting go or dodging.
Seeing that the zombie's claws were about to fall on her, she gritted her teeth and prepared to withstand the blow. The next second, her body was suddenly bumped by someone.
Xiao He was pushed away, and another figure suddenly appeared and blocked the zombie's attack.
The sharp claws pierced into the arm, blood gushed out, and the zombie became even more crazy. Jiang Ye endured the wound on his arm and grabbed the zombie's hand instead.
"quick!"
Xiao He was stunned for only a moment, but quickly reacted.
Holding Jiang Ye with one hand, he swept across with the other hand, instantly taking the high-level zombie into the space and throwing it into the black hole. He watched it try to escape several times, but in the end it was torn to pieces and completely swallowed up.
Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Jiang Ye.
His face was pale, and streams of black, sticky, poisonous blood flowed from his left arm.
Infected.
Xiao He's eyes instantly became solemn.
She was so busy fighting just now that she didn't notice Jiang Ye's situation at all, and she didn't know when he came over.
Seeing the wound on his arm, he began to panic and scolded him in a cold voice:
"What are you doing? I'm a mutant, my resistance is stronger than yours, why are you joining in the fun?"
Jiang Ye smiled weakly, with layers of cold sweat oozing out of his forehead.
"Those with special abilities have strong resistance, but there is also a risk of infection, isn't there?"
Xiao He pursed his lips tightly, looked up and saw that the remaining zombies were still rushing towards him. He waved his hand angrily and put them directly into the space. Then he turned around, took out a car from the space, and quickly left with Jiang Ye.
Her expression was very calm and she drove quickly to a safe place.
As soon as he parked the car, he angrily opened the door with the force of pulling it down, went to the back seat, saw Jiang Ye with a pale face, tore off the clothes on his arm and took a look.
The four obvious claw marks had turned black, and the blood that flowed out was black with a strong stench.
If nothing is done about it, Jiang Ye will turn into a zombie that only knows how to look for food in less than an hour.
"A canary should have the awareness of a canary. Protect yourself, stay away from danger, don't leave the base, and wait for your master to raise you. If you are like this, what kind of canary are you?"
Jiang Ye smiled weakly.
"You have less than three days of rest a month. If I were at the base, wouldn't I only be able to see you three days a month? It's not like now, where I can be with you every day."
Xiao He snorted coldly, and his men were busy taking out disinfectants and medical drugs from the space.
"I'm going to help you clean the rotten flesh around the wound. Please bear with it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the knife in his hand fell.
Excise the skin and tissue around the wound, digging as deep as possible to remove as much toxins from the body as possible.
After the first cut, Jiang Ye's face turned pale instantly. He gritted his teeth and tensed his body to endure it.
After a while, beads of sweat began to fall from his forehead.
Xiao He's eyes were calm, and he acted ruthlessly and quickly, trying to minimize his pain.
But the wound was too large. After cleaning, a large piece of flesh was missing from his arm. Jiang Ye lay weakly in the back seat, and his consciousness was already beginning to blur.
"Jiang Ye."
Xiao He put the tools back into the space, looked at Jiang Ye who was about to faint in the car, and shouted to bring his hazy consciousness back.
When Jiang Ye opened his eyes slightly, he said, "Remember, if you turn into a smelly and ugly zombie, I won't let you get close to me."
