Chapter 231 Screaming in the Middle of the Night
Lan Shiruo smiled, "What can we do?" A hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes. "While humans were aggressively expanding their territory for power, attacking their own kind for profit, and engaging in dog-eat-dog violence, the mutant creatures were dormant, adapting to the environment, and striving to improve themselves. Those that gained intelligence began to form their own teams, growing stronger and stronger, and then began to establish their own territories, gradually extending towards human settlements. By the time humans discovered them, they were already on par with humans, the carve-ups of the world. What can we do? All we can do is improve ourselves as quickly as possible, so that when all enemies, whether human or mutant, invade our territory, we will have enough power to fight back, and stand at the top and overlook everything." Lan Shiruo was not exaggerating. After her death, her soul witnessed the scene of a town led by high-level zombies and occupied by countless rotten zombie minions. It was like a safe base for humans, but they had more advantages than humans. They did not need to eat, drink, defecate, or urinate, nor did they need energy or supplies. They did not have to worry about harsh environments or bad weather. They only needed to kill humans or disobedient zombies to obtain crystal cores to improve themselves.
Although Lan Shiruo couldn't imagine what the mutant creatures, who had no material needs at all, would do when they stood at the top of the world, as long as there were humans alive, they would have the motivation to fight, would never get tired, and would not be able to coexist peacefully.
At that time, there will not only be rotting zombies, but also mutated and evolved animals and plants. They will form another biological system, and they will share the world equally with humans and zombies.
At that time, humans will no longer be the only dominant species and may even be at the bottom of the food chain, struggling to survive.
The little friend fell into endless deep thought. The kids didn't quite understand. They just felt that the atmosphere between the uncle and aunt was very strange. They didn't dare to play around anymore and honestly took the crystal core to upgrade.
The spirits looked around, and after understanding their master's thoughts, they huddled close to him and joined the improvement team.
Lan Shiruo blinked, not expecting such an effect. She exchanged a glance with Ao Chengyi and thought, well, since she had nothing to do, she would join the team working hard to improve.
At night, the group settled into a small villa in City M's resort villa district. Each villa was well-spaced, and many featured pristine landscapes. The vast land surrounding the villas belonged to the owners, offering a high degree of privacy and, naturally, a price to match, making it a gathering place for the wealthy. The villas' decor was luxurious, though completely destroyed after the apocalypse.
Fortunately, the wall was not demolished, and the team used wooden boards to cover the doors and windows, so they were able to have an independent private space.
We were in the car all the way, and when we took a break, we felt hungry, so my friends and I cooked a table full of meat, and we ate and drank together for more than an hour, and finished it all.
At night, Lan Shiruo took out the container. Although it didn't seem dangerous here, she had been frightened by termites that time, so it was better to be cautious.
After a few months, I got used to the chirping of insects and birds at night and was not affected by it at all and fell asleep quickly.
In the middle of the night, a terrifying scream woke up the little friend.
The teams living in other villas nearby were also awakened. They looked at the dark night and had no intention of going out to see what was going on.
The big team had no intention of joining in the fun. There was nothing worth their attention in M City, so they planned to pass by M City at dawn and go directly to Cangzhou.
"You guys sleep, I'll watch over you." Ao Chengyi kissed his wife and children.
Ever since being arrested, Le Bao had been a light sleeper. After being woken up, he had a hard time falling asleep again. He nestled in Lan Shiruo's arms, feeling very aggrieved. "Mom?"
Lan Shiruo kissed her son's chubby face, "Be good, don't be afraid, mommy is here, go to sleep, we are in the space, daddy will also watch over us."
The little boy rubbed his eyes with his chubby hands, nodded his head, and slowly fell asleep.
Lan Shiruo looked at Ao Chengyi and said, "Be careful."
"Don't worry." Ao Chengyi left the space, and the other friends also woke up.
"Brother, we are here, it's okay, you can go to sleep."
Ao Chengyi shook his head, "Taozi and I will keep watch together, the others can go to sleep."
Big Brother has spoken, and everyone has to listen and return to their rooms one after another.
The night was quiet again, but he was awakened by a terrifying shout while he was drowsy. Ao Chengyi frowned slightly and saw the red light in the sky. It was about to dawn, so there was no need to sleep anymore.
The whole group had no choice but to get up, pack up, eat and drink, and prepare to leave. The whole night was restless, and the little friend looked unhappy. Even the demonic guy was in a bad mood and patrolled around the villa, trying to find the culprit.
Lan Shiruo shook her head and smiled, still a child who had not grown up. "Alright, General Goshawk, hurry back, eat and leave."
As soon as he finished speaking, instead of calling back the spirit, he called back a black shadow. The black shadow was incredibly fast, but the only general who could rival it was not there. It didn't give the friends any time to react and rushed straight towards Fang Tongtong and Niu Niu.
"Shui Sheng," Lan Shiruo subconsciously condensed, her hands were empty, there was nothing, she could only shout, "Shui Yao."
Yunshui Yao quickly tried to release the vines, but the young seedling shook twice and still didn't respond.
Everyone was shocked and didn't have time to think too much. They could only rely on their own strength to step forward and stop it.
Fang Tongtong and Niuniu were swept by the black shadow and felt pain in their necks. Then the blood in their bodies began to drain away rapidly and their minds began to feel dizzy.
The black shadow paused, not expecting these people to react so quickly. Unfortunately, he stopped midway and left quickly.
The two little girls were pale and fell to the ground unconscious.
Duan Jianghe hurried to check, "He's lost too much blood, but otherwise he's fine. He just can't move for the time being."
The blood of people with special abilities will change. There will no longer be differences in blood types, only differences in special abilities. Therefore, blood transfusions are not possible now, and they can only be allowed to recover slowly on their own using crystal cores.
The little friend breathed a sigh of relief, and the guy who had turned into a spirit came back with a face full of self-blame.
The general rubbed his big head against Lan Shiruo's leg, "Woo woo" Master Ao was wrong, his purple eyes blinked, and he was cute in a different way.
Lan Shiruo rubbed his head and said, "Be good, it's none of your business." He looked at the cold and arrogant Eagle Master beside him. He couldn't be so servile as a general, but he clearly felt very guilty. Lan Shiruo touched Eagle Master's head again and said, "It's none of Goshawk's business either. Don't blame yourself. Just guard well. We can't leave for the time being."
The two nodded and stood guard outside the door dutifully.
Back at the villa, Lan Shiruo took out the container and said, "Let them lie down and rest for now. You guys try again to see if you can use your supernatural powers."
After the friend tried it, his face turned ugly and he said, "No." Even the spirits couldn't use their special powers.
Lan Shiruo also frowned. She couldn't do it either, but space didn't seem to be a supernatural power, so it could be used.
"What exactly is that black shadow?" Miaomiao asked.
The friends shook their heads, they didn’t know either.
Ao Chengyi looked at Feng Tao, Guo Zi, and Duan Jianghe, "You guys stay here to protect the others. Chaoyang Jiajia, come with me to check out the situation."
"good."
"Be careful," Lan Shiruo said with a serious expression, "There should be something here that can block superpowers, or someone can block the superpowers of others. Try to see if the car and helicopter can be used. If they can, wait until Tongtong and Niuniu are better, and then we will leave as soon as possible."
