Chapter 39: A man who knows the times is a hero
As if they heard the loud noise outside, the zombies that had huddled inside the building swarmed out again. After all, they were just dead, not deaf.
But the main reason was that Gao Fengyuan's subtle emotional fluctuations just now caused his extremely seductive pheromones to leak out again.
The sweet smell of blood made the zombies salivate, and they rushed over excitedly in broad daylight - let them bask in the sun, it won't kill dead people anyway.
Gao Fengyuan couldn't help but twitch his lips at the familiar scene before him. While he did intend to lure the zombies out of the building, he'd been hacking away all night. Even Alpha, no matter how strong, wasn't made of iron. Even a laser sword needed recharging and maintenance.
[Host, come on! Draw your great sword!]
The killing-crazy system was still cheering him on. In its eyes, these zombies were just moving coins!
"Go to hell! He who knows the current situation is a hero—"
Hearing this, Gao Fengyuan rolled his eyes without caring about his image. Then he covered the back of his neck and tightened the necklace.
Alpha thought viciously: This is a garbage containment loop, it can’t be released and it can’t be blocked anymore!
When he lowered his head, he saw again the unlucky guy who was implicated by him - this guy deliberately hid in places with many corpses, and actually crawled to the door of the building right under the noses of the zombies.
Good man, this guy looks even more zombie-like now...
Watching the other man struggling to wriggle, Gao Fengyuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly at his vitality. While Alpha might have been unforgiving, he wasn't so ruthless as to abandon him to the zombie horde.
So he picked up Ming Huan from the ground, held this half-dead creature under his arm, and then took a long step and quickly rushed into the building in two steps.
At this moment, the bright autumn sun is already hanging high in the sky, and the brilliant sunshine is mercifully sprinkled on every corner of the earth, but the interior of this once luxurious five-star shopping center is still shrouded in the heavy night.
In the depths of the endless darkness, from time to time, the heavy "hissing" sounds of several zombies could be heard from all directions, echoing faintly in the dull air, making people even more creepy.
When people's vision gradually adapted to the darkness, they could vaguely see the messy scene in the room:
The various shops lining the aisles were mostly in a state of disarray, a complete loss of their former glory. The glass windows were covered in shocking cracks and terrifying dark handprints, like a series of shattered and twisted scrolls of flesh and blood. The once smooth and spotless floor was now a mixture of thick dust, a mess of debris, and large, dried, bloody drag marks, revealing the traces of a demonic devastation...
In the darkness, Gao Fengyuan's tall figure silently shuttled through this desolate and dead land, like the last visitor in this strange world.
Gulp—seeing this, Minghuan couldn't help but swallow lightly.
The unknown would magnify the fear in people's hearts. He now felt that this place was like a bizarre and desolate city that was ready to devour people, and the stench of death was everywhere.
The strong arm around his waist was always tightly wrapped around him. The man's steady and peaceful breathing and his orderly pace as he moved forward gave Minghuan a great sense of security.
As a result, the boy who was being held hostage seemed to be extremely obedient, with no intention of struggling or resisting at all. He was like a soulless puppet.
It was only when he realized that the man was running in the wrong direction and was about to reach a dead end that he gently reminded him, "You must be looking for supplies too. I know there's a road to the right ahead..."
Minghuan said these words after careful consideration, and he did not lie.
That secret passage was his greatest reward from his long period of dormancy and also his most precious trump card, but you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child.
The man in front of him was powerful and of unknown origin. His willingness to help a stranger in times of crisis showed that his moral standards were above normal - after all, most people could not accept his current appearance.
This kind of condition is already an extremely rare golden thigh in the doomsday. If there is a chance, I don't mind surrendering and trying to please him to survive. Besides...
Minghuan's heart skipped a beat, not knowing what he was thinking of. He suddenly wanted to bite his hand again, but considering the current situation, he had to force himself to bite his lips.
Gao Fengyuan raised his brows slightly upon hearing this, and the system in his head added very tactfully: "Yes, the road ahead is basically a dead end, full of zombies. Turn right now and go up 100 meters. There is a collapsed emergency passage. Inside is the daily necessities area. You can basically find what you need once you enter."
"Oh - thank you." Gao Fengyuan didn't rush to deal with the system. He looked at the young man in his hand with great interest, as if he had discovered something interesting.
It's not surprising that 030 knows this, but how did a crippled kid like him know this and share it so generously? Isn't he afraid...
While thinking, Alpha subconsciously sniffed, not knowing what he smelled. He couldn't help but squinted his eyes and laughed - interesting, this person is definitely not simple.
So Gao Fengyuan put him down gently and solemnly, indicating that he had no ill intentions. Then, before Minghuan could react, he picked him up again and continued to move in the right direction.
[Host, why are you still carrying him?] Seeing this scene, his system went into overdrive. He didn't see the secret between the two of them at all. He just secretly wondered: Is he treating him as a reserve food?
"He's more useful than you," the cheerful Alpha casually explained to the system, "and Little 0, you were too slow explaining just now. Deduct ten points."
【……yes. 】
After arriving at the collapsed entrance to the second floor, Minghuan wanted to say that he could squeeze in through the narrow gap to help get supplies, but he saw Gao Fengyuan easily dismantling the entire wall like cutting tofu, so he silently shut up.
Alpha set Minghuan down and, with a gentle lift of his hands, steadily separated the wall. Gao Fengyuan gestured for the other person to go in first, and once they were both inside, he easily pushed the stone slab back in tightly, blocking the passage again.
The second floor of the mall has been closed for a long time and is now very quiet. Occasionally, there are only a few zombies, and Gao Fengyuan can deal with them without using a knife.
Minghuan, tucked under his arm again, was like a silent little tail. He didn't ask or inquire, but just lay there quietly, occasionally giving a brief reminder. Alpha was very satisfied with this.
Under his guidance and that of the system, Gao Fengyuan suppressed and cleared the area along the way and successfully took control of this small half floor.
It's not that their abilities are limited, but Gao Fengyuan had been eyeing a luxurious bathing center from a distance. After hearing the system say that there was still water inside, he couldn't move anymore. He seemed to be nailed to the spot and was determined to take a bath.
Then Gao Fengyuan fell silent as he looked at the bottled water in the warehouse.
Never mind, it's better than nothing...
While he was washing up, Minghuan collected edible food from around the area, quickly filled his stomach, and thoughtfully prepared a portion for Gao Fengyuan.
He didn't know why this inexplicable man wanted to help him, or what his motives were, but he felt completely safe with him around. No matter what, the food he ate was his own.
…
Outside the building, a team of superpowers was stealthily spying in the dark.
The man leading the group was named Bao Gai, the nephew of the overlord of the second-largest security base in City Q. He was a C-class psychic, a powerful figure in a doomsday world, not to mention his aunt, an A-class psychic, who was known for her protectiveness.
The other three members of the team are also D-level psychics. This combination is enough for them to walk around the city at will during the day. Most people dare not provoke them easily, and other psychics basically assume that this area is their covered territory.
But the scene they just saw obviously overturned their cognition. A mysterious man first blatantly broke into the shopping mall area, then swaggered around and threw a bomb to lure out a tide of zombies, and finally succeeded in getting in unscathed.
Provocation! This is a naked provocation! Bao Gai was furious at this scene. He hadn't seen anyone so eager to die in a long time.
"Brother Gai, are we still going over..." A member of the team with dyed yellow hair could hardly speak clearly at this moment. He stared at the zombies swarming in front of him like a colony of ants, and his legs felt a little weak.
Their team always carried out their missions under the sun, making a show of it. After all, who would dare to embarrass the "Prince"? They had encountered virtually no danger since the apocalypse. Why on earth had a group of dark-loving zombies suddenly appeared in the open sun today? It was completely illogical. How could they see ghosts in broad daylight?
"Go, why not?" Bao Gai spat unhappily. He sneered, revealing a row of yellow and white teeth. "Not only do we have to go, I also want to see where this bastard came from who is so bold. Don't they know that this is our Tianyun Base's territory?"
As he spoke, he clenched his fists, and the energy of the fire power surged faintly in his hands, as if it would explode at any time.
Seeing this, the other team members, though somewhat frightened, agreed nonetheless. They knew that if Bao Gai, a second-generation rich kid, looked down upon and despised them as a bunch of lackeys at Tianyun Base, their future wouldn't be easy.
A man wearing glasses nearby rolled his eyes and leaned close to Bao Gai's ear and said flatteringly, "Brother Gai, that bastard may look capable, but there's no need for you to personally deal with such a small fry."
"Anyway, this shabby building has been searched and collapsed, and there's nothing good left. Even if there was, our Tianyun wouldn't be interested. So, what do you think?"
"You're such a cunning fellow..." He didn't know what the man said, but Bao Gai smiled happily. He squinted his eyes and patted the man's shoulder. "Then I'll leave it to you. Don't worry, you'll get all the benefits after the job is done."
…
Gao Fengyuan in the building had no idea that he was being targeted, and he was still battling wits and courage with Minghuan.
Alpha finally finished his shower and meal, and was in a state of comfort and relaxation. He was just about to find a comfortable place to sleep, but he found that the room was always filled with a faint smell of death.
Then Gao Fengyuan suddenly realized that this guy was still so sloppy!
When Gao Fengyuan thought about the food he had just eaten prepared by this kid, he suddenly felt uncomfortable all over and his picky temper flared up.
At this time, Minghuan was still curled up in the corner unconsciously, his eyes half closed, and it seemed that he was planning to fall asleep.
Seeing this scene, Gao Fengyuan was completely enraged, thinking that if I don’t clean this guy up today, I’m not A!
He did what he said. Alpha rushed forward and grabbed Minghuan without saying a word.
