I hung my head, trying to look around. An Xin and the others opposite me were in the same situation. This skill was very similar to An Xin's, and it probably only lasted for 10 seconds as well. I silently counted to 10 seconds, but I still hadn't recovered my strength. The woman with the water gun took the gun from me. I struggled but couldn't move at all. I only heard the sound of the trigger being pulled. This silly woman hadn't loaded the gun. I heard the man next to her say disdainfully, "How can you kill someone if you haven't loaded the gun? I'll do it for you."
My mind went completely blank. I never imagined that after holding out for so long, I would die at the hands of a stupid woman. No, wait, I'm the stupid one now. Why did I have to go up and mock them? I was just asking for trouble. Now look what happened, I'm the first one to be killed.
I closed my eyes and gave up struggling. I heard one gunshot, then two, followed by two thuds of people falling to the ground. I felt no pain in my head; I was still alive. I opened one eye and saw two people lying in front of me. I was still unable to move. I was incredibly curious about who had saved me. Suddenly, a pair of large hands appeared under my armpits and lifted me up. I felt a chill on my back, as if I had been leaning against a rock.
I tried to turn my eyes and glance to the side. Ji Lin, An Qianliyan, and the others were in the same position as me. Who was the person who saved me? An Xin and the others didn't lose any people either, and neither did we. I became more and more curious. I heard footsteps behind me and slowly walked up to me and squatted down.
Huh! Why is it Ji Lin'an? I looked at the Ji Lin'an lying next to me. How come there are two Ji Lin'an? My mind was full of questions. I kept making eye contact with the Ji Lin'an in front of me. Ji Lin'an didn't say anything. He took out my phone, picked up my index finger, opened the medical space, and sent me into the medical space. I was immediately ejected from the medical space.
Ji Lin'an, standing before me, remained expressionless and silent. He then used the special medicine from his medical skills on my fingers, and soon I was able to move again. I struggled to move my limbs, and Ji Lin'an vanished in a flash. Filled with questions, I slowly crawled back to the lying Ji Lin'an, holding my phone, and used the special medicine on him. Ji Lin'an was able to move again, and I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why were there two of you just now?"
Ji Lin'an stretched his neck: "It's a clone skill."
I asked in confusion, "But none of us can move at all, how did you activate the copy skill?"
Ji Lin'an sighed: "I activated the skill before the two of them saw us, but since it was my first time using it, I didn't understand it and placed the clone on the bridge in front. When I switched to the clone, I was just knocked down by that woman, but luckily I made it in time with the clone."
Ji Lin'an's eyes held a hint of sadness, perhaps thinking that if he had been a moment later, he might have found my corpse. I didn't have time to think about anything else. I turned to look at everyone, still in the same position as before. Ji Lin'an and I checked on them one by one. Everyone was safe and sound except for being unable to move. I could only use my medical skills three times, and as usual, I had to save one for survival.
A while later, the skills of the two people Ji Lin'an had dealt with also transferred to him. Ji Lin'an opened the skill descriptions; the woman's skill was "Wooden Water," which would turn anyone hit by the water into a wooden state for 5 minutes before automatically dispelling, with the duration depending on upgrades. The man's skill was "Thermal Imaging," which could see living beings with body temperature within a certain distance.
Not knowing to what extent the deceased woman had enhanced her skills, Ji Lin'an and I could only sit and wait. Five minutes later, everyone started to move their bodies one after another. The scene was extremely strange, much like the appearance of zombies that had just mutated. Li Song stood up crookedly, his face full of grief and anger, and kicked the already cold man twice.
As soon as Qianliyan recovered, he rushed to Ji Lin'an: "Old Ji, thanks to you, otherwise we would all be dead today!"
I was the only one standing behind Ji Lin'an. When I saw Qianliyan, I asked very quietly, "When did you copy my skills? Why didn't you tell me? Humph."
Ji Lin'an didn't speak, and Qianliyan continued his fake crying. Ji Lin'an smiled helplessly: "Alright, let's rest for a while and prepare to cross the bridge. I don't know what time it is now, but judging from the sky, it should be afternoon. We need to get the supplies and find a place to stay before dark."
Qianliyan stopped faking his tears, walked up to the dead woman, squatted down, and took back his gun. We continued on our way, slowing down as we reached the bridge. We split into groups according to the team I had arranged earlier. The bridge was not small, about 4 meters wide. There were obvious bloodstains near the bridge entrance, but the bloodstains had dried and stuck to the ground. The corpses had probably turned into the zombies we were seeing. It seemed that someone had fought here before.
There were no obstacles on the bridge, so we could only walk along the edge as much as possible. After reaching the bridge entrance, Ji Lin'an observed for two minutes and then waved for us to attack the zombies simultaneously. Ji Lin'an and I, who both had guns, protected the others as they killed the zombies to earn points. The zombies were quickly dealt with. Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground and the pungent smell, I covered my nose and said, "Let's go, it stinks."
After passing the horde of zombies, we walked towards the main road for a while and saw a sign that read "Supply Collection Station". Ji Lin'an stopped, hid his phone in his sleeve, walked up to Qianliyan, pretended to take the phone out of Qianliyan's bag, and then gave Qianliyan his signature smile. Qianliyan didn't say anything and cooperated with Ji Lin'an's act. At this time, it was best not to expose his skills so as not to attract death.
Ji Lin'an activated his clairvoyance skill to survey the surroundings and said, "I can already see the location of the supply depot, about 6 kilometers away..."
Ji Lin'an asked me for a piece of paper and a pen. I took them out from my spatial storage and gave them to him. He placed them on a large rock and wrote down the scene and route he saw. When the skill timer expired, Ji Lin'an organized the scene on the paper into a map and looked up at us, saying, "The fastest way to the supply center is this main road in front of us, but with so many of us, it's not suitable to walk in the middle of the road. I saw that we can also get to the supply center through the jungle on the side, but the path is more difficult. There is a sizable stone forest in the middle, which may require climbing."
Everyone nodded, and I said, "Okay, we'll follow you."
Ji Lin'an took out his phone, opened the compass, and marked landmarks on the map according to our location. Then we set off again.
