On the other side, the four-member team was attacked by mutant plants and the formation was temporarily broken up. The brother and sister reunited at the first opportunity, and Jin Liang also returned to the team later. Only Gu Sheng was nowhere to be seen.
Originally the distance was only 500 meters, but they were disturbed by the mutated plants along the way and they still hadn't gotten out after almost an hour. Now another team member is missing, which makes He Zheng very worried.
Since it was his sister who insisted on taking the person with him, he couldn't say anything and could only order someone to be found.
In a word, if he's alive, I want to see him in person; if he's dead, I want to see his body.
Now the three of them did not dare to separate. He Jiaojiao, who was anxious to find Gu Sheng, was about to walk into the dense forest when Gu Sheng's voice came from behind:
"I'm back."
He Jiaojiao turned around in surprise, and finally felt relieved to see that Gu Sheng was safe and sound, "Where have you been? We have been looking for you for a long time."
Although she was complaining, the girl's words were full of concern and worry, which made Gu Sheng feel strange.
That feeling is very warm and gentle.
"You still remember to come back. Didn't I tell you not to disperse in the forest?"
Seeing that Gu Sheng was safe and sound, He Zheng's first reaction was not to be relieved, but to express his dissatisfaction with him for leaving the team without permission.
He walked quickly to Gu Sheng, grabbed his collar, and yelled, "Do you know how much impact the team's progress will have if a team member leaves? It may also lead to the death of other team members."
"Do you understand or not?!"
He Zheng didn't give Gu Sheng any face, and his grip on his collar kept tightening.
Gu Sheng lowered his head and a dark light flashed in his eyes. When he raised his head, his face was full of apology.
"I'm sorry, I lost my way after being separated from the team just now, so I didn't return to the team quickly."
"Brother, calm down."
He Jiaojiao stepped forward to comfort He Zheng, and pulled his hand away from Gu Sheng's collar while speaking.
"The place where we dispersed is not far away. We should be able to find our way quickly even if we get lost." He Zheng doubted, his sharp eyes fixed on Gu Sheng's face.
"After we separated, I was entangled by a level three mutant plant. I killed it before rushing over here."
Gu Sheng's face was full of sincerity, and he took out the third-level crystal core from his pocket to prove his innocence.
If Lin Xingyou were still here, he would probably ask him, right?
Moreover, with Gu Sheng's ability, a mere level three mutant plant is something he can easily control.
The moment he saw the crystal core, He Zheng's anger subsided a lot and he turned around and left.
"Next time you want to die, don't come to my team." He only left this sentence.
Gu Sheng looked puzzled. He looked at He Jiaojiao and saw her smiling lightly, "My brother doesn't intend to pursue the matter."
"Jiaojiao, it was my negligence this time. I'm sorry for making you worry." He admitted his mistake as soon as he arrived, looking aggrieved and obedient.
"My brother is right to worry. Remember not to leave the team next time," He Jiaojiao comforted.
"Then how can Lin Xingyou leave?"
Gu Sheng mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally, and He Jiaojiao was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
After all, she had never seen Lin Xingyou's skills, but since her brother believed in her, she believed in her too.
Seeing He Jiaojiao in trouble, Gu Sheng had to change the subject: "The forest is dangerous, let's go out first."
"Yeah." She nodded.
The time they wasted walking was enough for them to reach a safe area. A strong white light dazzled them in front of them, and they finally stepped out of the forest.
There was an open view outside, with a large number of tree stumps still remaining on the dry land and a large protective wall towering in the distance.
As for the land beneath their feet, it was harvested by the Yuncheng Base to serve as a buffer zone, a measure taken to prevent mutant plants from suddenly attacking the Yuncheng Base.
A broad field of vision can also provide early prevention against zombies or strange beasts.
It has to be said that the location of the Yuncheng base has certain advantages in the end times.
"It's right across from the main gate of the base. We are lucky."
He Jiaojiao looked into the distance and found that the location they had arrived at was not bad, at least they didn't have to take a detour.
"Let's go." He Zheng waved his hand.
He Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, "Aren't you waiting for Sister Lin?"
"Let's go first."
He Zheng was not worried that anything would happen to that person.
Only Gu Sheng's eyes flashed darkly when he heard He Jiaojiao mention Lin Xingyou.
Humph! I'm afraid she won't be able to come back!
He was thinking this in his mind, but when they were almost at the gate of the base, he saw a red figure sitting leisurely at the gate with a pure black crow standing on his shoulder. No one knew the turbulent waves surging in his heart.
After the four people stood in front of her, Lin Xingyou slowly raised her eyes, looked them over, and finally rested her deep gaze on Gu Sheng.
"You guys are a little slow!"
The moment she looked away, the two of them met eyes, one with a joking smile on his face, the other shocked and confused but still had to maintain his mask.
"Seeing you're quite leisurely and sitting on a chair, I know you won't die that easily."
He Zheng smiled brightly and looked at Lin Xingyou with meaningful eyes.
"Sister Lin, are you hurt?"
Facing He Jiaojiao's sincere face, Lin Xingyou suddenly leaned forward and gently pinched her cute little face.
"Of course not. I'm not that weak."
After saying that, she glanced at Gu Sheng who was standing beside the girl.
When Lin Xingyou put away her chair and prepared to go in with them, she faintly heard Gu Sheng's comments about her:
"You are really unlucky."
She lowered her eyes slightly and whispered as she passed by, "You are too proud."
His attack was like a strong wind that left no grass alive, and it had the power of a thousand-pound rock falling from the sky. The momentum that could destroy everything was something she had never seen in this world.
The ability is very good, but it's a pity that I met her.
At that time, the attack had not yet arrived, and Yaya reminded himself for the first time in a serious tone.
"Master, he is not ordinary."
"I know."
Lin Xingyou replied coldly, knowing that the current strength of the hero in the zombie novel was a little inferior compared to the middle stage.
[Host, you don’t want to kill him now, do you?]
The system looked at Lin Xingyou with a half-smile in his eyes, which were instantly filled with admiration and excitement, and he felt a chill on his back for a moment.
“Not yet.”
Before she finished her words, Yaya plucked one of her black feathers for the first time without her instructions. In an instant, before Lin Xingyou could react, she appeared near the gate of the base.
The sudden distortion and change of space startled her, and only later did she realize that Ya Ya had used some special power.
Realizing Yaya's abnormality, Lin Xingyou faced his extremely playful pet for the first time.
"Tell me, how come your feathers can teleport?"
Her tone was aggressive, as if she was going to strip the crow of its feathers and stew it and eat it if it didn't tell her.
Crow shrank back, "I wanted to tell you before, but you didn't believe me at that time."
It's not its fault.
Lin Xingyou held his forehead helplessly and gritted his teeth and said, "Who told you to talk so much nonsense every time? After hearing it for so long, who can tell whether what you say is true or false?"
"You idiot!"
The last curse she said almost broke both of Ya Ya's legs, but Ya Ya quickly interrupted her: "I only have short-term foresight and short-distance space transfer, nothing else. Master, please let go, my legs are broken."
"I won't dare to do it again." Yaya was almost crying.
It knew that this woman was not easy to mess with.
"What level of beast are you?"
After calming down, Lin Xingyou became more interested in this.
With two superpowers, foresight and space transfer, Yaya’s level should not be low, otherwise he would have been killed by other supernatural beasts in Lake City.
If it hadn't loved to watch the fun and hadn't had any hostility towards me, it would have run away before the contract was signed.
The crow secretly glanced at the calm Lin Xingyou, and it became confident again, holding its head high and saying, "Don't look at me as small, I am a level 5 alien beast."
It is true.
Lin Xingyou's eyes flashed with understanding, and he deliberately emphasized the last two words, fearing that he had missed any details.
At this moment, the system spoke secretly, with an unspeakable surprise in it:
[Why don't you take its crystal core and let me estimate its value]
"It's none of your business."
Lin Xingyou was furious and had no good feelings towards the system.
System: If I had known, I would not have come out at this time to get into trouble.
Lin Xingyou swung his left hand, and Yaya almost lost its balance and fell to the ground. It quickly flapped its wings to steady itself. Even though it was treated like this, at this moment it could only silently endure this humiliation.
It also knows that its master's obsession with the crystal core is above all else.
Silence is golden at this moment.
