257 Cheating
They're out of the house
Snap——
A pale hand slapped the car window. Zhu Ning turned around and saw Bai Cheng's face. The rain had torn her face into pieces. Her eyes were ghostly and eerie. The key point was her smile. It didn't seem to express happiness, but more like it was scary. It made people feel creepy at the sight of it.
Zhu Ning was fine. Lin Xiaofeng had never seen the world. When he saw Bai Cheng, his fingers clenched tightly, as if he had seen a female ghost on a rainy night. He didn't say anything because he didn't want to cause trouble for Zhu Ning.
Bai Cheng knocked lightly on the car window, meaning to let her in.
Zhu Ning frowned. To be honest, she didn't really want her to come in. She rolled down the window and asked, "Bai Cheng?"
After the car window was opened, the voices of the conversation between the two sides became clearer. Bai Cheng nodded and stretched out a hand.
Zhu Ning hesitated for a second, but still held on. Perhaps because of the rain, Bai Cheng was particularly cold, like a corpse.
Zhu Ning had contacted Bai Cheng online a long time ago, but he didn't expect her to be like this. He had never seen someone who looked so unlike a living person. Does this woman have a heartbeat?
Huo Wenxi didn't introduce Zhu Ning in detail. Zhu Ning's previous partner was Xu Meng. Unfortunately, teammates as good as Xu Meng are rare. Zhu Ning felt a little upset when he thought of the captain.
Bai Cheng said, "Huo Wenxi asked me to come."
Zhu Ning opened the back seat and asked Pei Shu to make room for her.
Bai Cheng arrived wearing a raincoat and sat directly behind Zhu Ning. The cold rain dripped down, quickly forming a puddle on the back seat. After she got in, the temperature inside the car dropped. Lin Xiaofeng turned on the heater, and the warm air blew in, but it couldn't dispel the chill in the back seat.
Bai Cheng turned his head to look at Pei Shu, his eyes shining, and asked, "Are you Pei Shu?"
Bai Cheng's tone was flat, and Pei Shu was instinctively a little afraid of her. The way she looked at him was very strange, as if she was looking at a rare animal, which was creepy.
Pei Shu's list was sent by Bai Cheng, so it can be said that Pei Shu was personally selected by Bai Cheng.
Pei Shu had partnered with different people before and tried to get Bai Cheng to join the group: "Hello, we will be teammates from now on."
"Teammate..." Bai Cheng repeated his words, finding these two words novel.
Lin Xiaofeng swallowed silently. He didn't know why he wanted to jump out of the car and run away. He felt like he had dragged a ghost into the car in the middle of the night.
The rain outside was getting heavier. Zhu Ning said, "You're late."
Bai Cheng was about an hour late. When Zhu Ning was sleeping, Lin Xiaofeng tried to contact Bai Cheng, but no one responded. Bai Cheng said, "I walked here."
Zhu Ning felt that she was even more strange. Ordinary cars were not expensive, so how could Bai Cheng not afford one? Why did he walk here?
Zhu Ning: "Did you bring your own things?"
There was a suitcase at Bai Cheng's feet, and the back of her raincoat was bulging, which meant she must be carrying a huge package. Pei Shuduo took a closer look and saw that her bag was particularly large, so it naturally hit the roof of the SUV after she sat down. The car was obviously quite spacious, but it became narrow and cramped after she got in.
Bai Cheng seemed to be carrying a body bag on his back.
Bai Cheng said coldly, "I brought it."
A lot of supplies are needed to go outside the wall, including medical supplies, nutritional supplements, and most importantly, protective clothing. Zhu Ning had learned some knowledge about the outside world before, which was still useful. She understood how to rest and replenish supplies outside the wall. After all, the time outside the wall is long, and it is impossible to live in protective clothing all the time.
There are three approaches. The first is to seal any car outside the wall and survive inside after turning on the energy. The second is to build an enclosed tent in a safe place. The third is to find a shelter. Before the pollution spreads, some parts of the human base can be used. This is why you need to find a guide, as the guide has a deep understanding of the shelter location.
There are energy tanks in their cars, made of contaminated spores, and they have strong endurance.
The energy made from contaminated spores almost supports their exploration activities outside the wall. It has to be admitted that from all angles, humans cannot escape pollution.
Pei Shu said, "I didn't bring it."
Pei Shu was the unlucky guy who was kidnapped by Zhu Ning temporarily and did not purchase any supplies at all.
Zhu Ning: "There are some in the back seat of the car, see if you're missing anything."
Pei Shu felt around in the back seat of the car and found a package with two sets of protective clothing inside. Although most people who are suitable for going out of the wall are high-level psychics, it is still best to wear protective gear.
Pei Shuqing counted the supplies and found some scattered items, enough for about a month and a half. Zhu Ning also thoughtfully prepared cigarettes for him.
Zhu Ning pressed a button on the car, and the mirror opened up, revealing a whole row of weapons. He said, "You can pick whatever suits you best."
Previously, Zhu Ning’s weapons all came from Prometheus, but now she has learned to take charge of the entire process herself.
Zhu Ning had indeed done his homework. These weapons were all top-notch. Pei Shu picked out two guns and put them on his waist, and also took a dagger and two bombs.
Bai Cheng didn't move and didn't participate in the selection of weapons at all. Maybe she brought enough things with her. She kept looking at the driver's seat. There was an invisible person in the car.
Very interesting.
Lin Xiaofeng felt a pair of eyes staring at her from behind, and the hairs on the back of her neck stood up. She always felt that Bai Cheng wanted to eat her.
Zhu Ning also noticed it. She closed the weapon box, tried to ignore Bai Cheng's strange behavior, and asked, "What's next?"
Zhu Ning was a novice, so she planned to be humble and listen to the two masters in the back seat.
Pei Shu looked out the window and assessed, "Let's wait until the rain stops before leaving. It's too dangerous when it rains."
The mutated plants outside the wall will grow wildly during the rainy season. Zhu Ning remembers that the polluted spores in the water system are also more active. It seems that rainwater is more conducive to pollutants and not to humans.
Outside the wall, life depends on the weather. They had no idea it would rain so heavily when they made the plan.
Bai Cheng had no objection to this, and his eyes never left Lin Xiaofeng from beginning to end.
Pei Shu: "There's no signal in most places outside the wall. You need to get close to a base station to get a signal. I suggest you contact anyone you want to contact now."
After walking out of this wall, contact with people inside the wall is left to fate, and you will usually report to your family that you are safe before leaving.
Pei Shu had no one to report his safety to, and Liu Niannian probably didn't care whether Pei Shu lived or died.
Zhu Ning needed to contact Huo Wenxi. She opened her secondary brain and sent him a message, saying that she was going to have an affair. Huo Wenxi replied coldly, "Bon voyage."
Just four words, Sister Huo, you are so cold.
Zhu Ning thought for a moment and asked, "I've met Bai Cheng. Is she reliable?"
Huo Wenxi was probably very busy, and replied after a while, "Not bad."
Zhu Ning wanted to crush the secondary brain. What kind of answer was this? Huo Wenxi said, "It depends on how you handle it. My intuition tells me that she will be useful to you."
She is indeed a little fortune teller. Her words are no different from those spoken at a fortune-telling stall.
Huo Wenxi was dealing with the aftermath of Zhu Ning's bombing of the Kingdom of God. After Zhu Ning attacked the Kingdom of God, the rebel army became even larger, and other regions had already contacted Huo Wenxi, wanting independence.
Zhu Ning was very considerate, giving her a gift before leaving. Huo Wenxi replied while looking at the information, "Well done."
Huo Wenxi was talking about Zhu Ning's action of bombing the Kingdom of God.
Zhu Ning inexplicably raised the corner of his mouth, as if someone had patted his head in appreciation from afar. Then he realized that he wasn't cool enough, so he pretended to be aloof and said, "Not bad."
Huo Wenxi was not too worried about Zhu Ning and had no time to chat with her. They talked for a few words and then stopped. Zhu Ning closed Huo Wenxi's page and saw a missed call. The caller was actually Liu Niannian.
The call came six hours ago, and Zhu Ning was sleeping at that time.
Zhu Ning suddenly felt like she had missed out on a lot. She opened the car door and said, "I'm going out to make a call."
Lin Xiaofeng was actually a little afraid of Bai Cheng and didn't dare to stay with her, but she didn't say anything because she didn't want Zhu Ning to think she was a little brat.
Zhu Ning was holding a black umbrella. It was indeed raining heavily outside. As soon as she went out, the umbrella was almost bent by the rain. Bai Cheng actually walked in such heavy rain.
Zhu Ning held an umbrella. There was no shelter under the wall, so she could only walk farther by herself. She walked about 500 meters and looked back at the off-road vehicle, which looked like a monster in the rainy night.
After walking to a place where they were sure they couldn't hear, Zhu Ning called Liu Niannian back. The call didn't go through the first time. Zhu Ning thought something had happened to her, so she called four times before the call got through.
"Zhu Ning." Liu Niannian's voice came.
Zhu Ning felt like she was dreaming. She hadn't heard Liu Niannian speak for a long time. Zhu Ning called her, "Little Princess?"
Liu Niannian on the opposite side laughed, and his voice sounded a little weak.
Zhu Ning felt that she had probably experienced something. Zhu Ning still remembered that when she was fighting against the Kingdom of God, there seemed to be a crack in the Kingdom of God's defense system.
"I saw a crack," Liu Niannian said after a moment of silence, "but I didn't leave."
Zhu Ning was not surprised by this answer. Liu Niannian was not a super soldier, so how could she leave?
At this time, Liu Niannian in the Kingdom of God was wearing a lavender nightgown. She was hiding in her basement and communicating with Zhu Ning. After Zhu Ning left, the people of the Kingdom of God were still worried and had been living in the shelter.
Liu Niannian sat barefoot, his head against the wall, and said in a muffled voice, "I guess I can stay sane now because I'm in the Kingdom of God."
She had been polluted a long time ago, but had never collapsed into a pollutant. She seemed to be in a very delicate state. She thought about it for a long time. It might be because she was in the kingdom of God. There was no other pollution here, except for the outlier Liu Niannian. It was considered a "pure land."
Liu Niannian has no soil to survive. Either she will completely collapse, or she will need external stimulation.
When cracks appeared in the defense wall, Liu Niannian almost wanted to rush out, but she hesitated because she was not sure whether she would be completely degraded into pollutants when she reached the ground.
Afterwards, Liu Niannian was hugged by Lu Yao who came and returned to the shelter under Lu Yao's protection.
Zhu Ning thought that Liu Niannian was very rational and she made the choice that was best for her.
Liu Niannian: "But after you attacked me, I felt really strange. The blood flowing in my body felt weird. I..."
As Liu Niannian was speaking, a glass of water was placed in front of her. It was placed in an expensive crystal glass. The mechanical butler had just brought it to her and it was still steaming. At this moment, under Liu Niannian's gaze, the glass of hot water was trembling slightly, and very subtle ripples were spreading out.
"It seems something has changed." Liu Niannian said the second half of the sentence. Under her gaze, the glass of water became more and more intense and was about to spill out.
"Niannian," Zhu Ning told her, "Try to stay rational."
Keep going a little longer, until Zhu Ning can step onto the land of God's kingdom. Please don't collapse before that.
Liu Niannian closed her eyes, and the glass of water returned to calm again. Liu Niannian guessed correctly. After a brief crack in the defense network, her pollution increased, and she suddenly possessed some kind of ability, although it seemed very weak now.
Liu Niannian took a deep breath and said casually, "I will."
Zhu Ning looked through the rain, "Niannian, I'm going to cheat on you."
Liu Niannian clenched her arms. She guessed that Zhu Ning was under the defensive wall. Liu Niannian had been to that position before, but she did not go out.
Liu Niannian envied Zhu Ning so much. She could go out of the wall freely. Zhu Ning could know what was outside the wall. She might be able to answer Liu Niannian's questions.
Why did her mother do this? What exactly called upon Liu Yu?
Zhu Ning: "Communications are not good after leaving the wall. If I get close to the base station, I will find a way to let you know I'm safe."
Liu Niannian was stunned. Just as she was about to ask Zhu Ning for help, Zhu Ning said it himself and nodded gratefully.
Zhu Ning didn't know what Liu Niannian was going to do, but it was definitely dangerous. Zhu Ning said, "You have to tell me you're safe. I still owe you a favor. Don't leave me without anyone to repay you."
It was Liu Niannian who saved her when Bao Ruiming was killed, and Zhu Ning remembered it in her heart.
Liu Niannian nodded heavily.
After a long while without hearing Liu Niannian's response, Zhu Ning asked, "Are you crying?"
Liu Niannian was crying silently on the other end of the line. She didn't dare to make a sound. After being questioned by Zhu Ning, she felt very aggrieved and could hardly control her sobs, as if a child who had always been ignored had finally been noticed.
Dadada——
Liu Niannian opened her mouth, but suddenly heard footsteps outside. She wiped away her tears and suppressed all the words she wanted to say. "Zhu Ning, I'm leaving."
Liu Niannian said quickly, "I wish you peace. Remember to contact me. Goodbye."
Liu Niannian cut off the call, and a busy tone came from the other end. Zhu Ning paused for a long time before hanging up.
The rain was crackling, and Zhu Ning stood under the high wall watching the rain.
Liu Niannian is a first-class citizen who has experienced pollution in the Kingdom of God. The defense network around her can kill her at any time. The changes every day are unknown. No one will not be afraid. Being able to remain calm is far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Zhu Ning stood alone for a while, then returned to the car. She opened the door and got in. It was extremely silent inside, and the atmosphere was even a little awkward.
Bai Cheng was still looking at Lin Xiaofeng, and the curve of her mouth seemed to be bigger than before. Zhu Ning wanted to ask her, "Sister, aren't you tired of smiling for so long?"
This team outside the wall is too weird. Not to mention the sense of teamwork, not killing each other is already the best result.
The rain was going to continue for a while, so Zhu Ning asked Lin Xiaofeng to continue resting. She was the driver and driving while tired was unacceptable. Lin Xiaofeng obeyed and went to sleep, and Zhu Ning covered her with a blanket.
Pei Shu had been observing Bai Cheng, who was looking at Lin Xiaofeng. Lin Xiaofeng's scalp felt numb from being stared at. Zhu Ning looked at the scene through the rearview mirror for a while, then became too lazy to look at it anymore as it was all a mess.
Zhu Ning told Pei Shu, "She is safe for now."
Zhu Ning didn't mention anyone by name, but Pei Shu guessed who she was communicating with. Because Bai Cheng was present, he just nodded and didn't say any more about the topic.
An hour and a half later, around two in the morning, the rain finally stopped.
Zhu Ning wanted to hurry up and travel, not knowing whether he would be caught up by the Federation people, so he set off as soon as the rain stopped.
Lin Xiaofeng was in charge of driving. She moved forward under Pei Shu's instructions, changed gears quickly and efficiently, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, raised the front of the car, and drove the car like an airplane.
This high wall seemed to have no end. The car climbed up and reached the top after a long time. Unlike what Zhu Ning expected, the wall was very wide, 50 meters long, and there were a few houses scattered on the wall.
Pei Shu: "It used to be a lookout post, but now it's considered a refuge. Some people rest here."
There was some garbage scattered around the house, which should be the traces of human activities.
Because it was still the middle of the night, I couldn't see far away, and I only felt endless darkness. The darkness outside the wall was different from the darkness inside the wall. It was like a black hole that swallowed everything.
The car dived down. Lin Xiaofeng had good skills and landed smoothly. With the headlights on, he could roughly see the outline of a deserted city.
They went outside the wall.
The author has something to say:
Tomorrow I will start my adventure outside the wall.
