The man was wearing a light down jacket. The simple black color made his mental state much better than that of the survivors in City B.
He approached the zombie group little by little, watching their every move with bated breath.
The recent heavy snow has covered them with a thick layer. Because they are crowded too densely, most of the bodies of these zombies are basically buried in the snow.
Seeing that the entire zombie group did not move, he quietly approached and found a place with a small gap. Although he knew that he would be fine, he still slipped in quietly.
Yin Xue's ability is very special. He can block his own breath and disguise himself as an inanimate object among the zombies. This way, the zombies will not approach him, or nothing will happen if they approach.
Before the upgrade, he thought it was a useless ability, but he did not give up. He released it and trained it every day. As a result, after practicing day after day, he upgraded not long ago.
Soon, others discovered the wonderful uses of his supernatural powers.
There is just one thing, he cannot launch an attack, otherwise the aura will be exposed, but this ability is quite useful in the team. If they go out on a mission, Yin Xue will explore the way in front and then the others will go in from behind, which greatly reduces the risk of being attacked.
Now, he took on the task, passed through the layers of zombies, and went into City B to see if there were any living people inside.
After finally avoiding these zombies and sneaking into City B, his face was a little pale. His supernatural power was consumed too much on the road, and he had to quickly find a shelter to rest.
The path he walked left footprints in the snow.
Just as he was looking around, several figures appeared in front of him.
"Hey!" He was about to shout, but then he thought about whether the surrounding area was safe or not, so he swallowed the greeting.
The people in front also noticed him at the same time. They looked at each other and walked over with their weapons.
Yin Xue saw their behavior and felt something was wrong. What were they trying to do?
"Who are you?" the person in front of him shouted first.
Yin Xue looked at their not-so-particularly-warm clothes and the relatively ordinary weapons in their hands, and his fingers in his pockets were clenching something.
This should not be used unless it is absolutely necessary. If the zombie group on the outer layer is alarmed, no one can predict where they will go.
The people opposite saw that Yin Xue was the only one there, and that he was wearing a down jacket that looked very warm, and they couldn't help but feel excited.
Yin Xue hesitated for a moment, then answered, "I escaped from the surrounding area. Is there any shelter here I can go to?"
Those people were surprised for a moment. This person was from outside. "We don't have a shelter here, only a base. Do you want to go to the base?"
A base? It should be a kind of shelter, right? "Are you from the base? How do I get to the nearest base?"
The leader rolled his eyes and said, "If you want to go to the base, I can show you the way, but you have to pay me with crystal cores. One or two hundred will do."
Yin Xue was a little surprised. What did they want the crystal core for? The experts in the laboratory hadn't found anything useful in it. It was just some shiny stones.
His hand came out of his pocket and rummaged through his pants. "How much do you want?"
Those people saw him take out a large pile of crystal cores from his trouser pocket, and they were about to fall to the ground.
"One...two hundred!" The leader hated himself for not asking for more. This outsider was obviously a rich little fat sheep!
Wait, do you want to...
Yin Xue frowned as he saw the greed that could not be hidden on the faces of the people opposite him, and he had some guesses about City B in his mind.
It seems that the crystal core is more important here. Thinking of this, he put all the crystal cores in his hand back into his trouser pocket.
"Hey!" The leader got anxious when he saw his movements. "Aren't you going to the base? I'll take you there, and I won't charge you more for the crystal cores. Just two hundred, no problem!"
"No need, thank you for letting me know, goodbye." Yin Xue did not continue to stand there. He immediately used his special ability, chose a path and ran away.
"Damn! Hurry up and chase that guy. Don't let him get away. He has so many crystal cores on him. If we catch him, we'll make a fortune!"
Several people hurriedly chased after him, but within a few seconds, Yin Xue disappeared. Several people were lost in the winding road, and the roars of zombies could be heard from time to time.
"Where did that kid go?" Several people groped in the dark alley.
"Are there zombies here? It's pitch black. Why don't we go out? The young master told us to go back quickly today because he has something to tell us."
The leader was a little hesitant after hearing this. After all, the young master's affairs were more important, but there might be hundreds or even thousands of crystal cores here. There weren't many zombies recently, so they wouldn't gain much from fighting the zombies.
Just when a few people were hesitating and wanted to give up and return, a squeaking sound of footsteps came from behind.
But there were only a few sounds and then they turned around in a hurry, and a little black clothing edge was revealed at the corner behind them.
It’s that kid!
Several people rushed forward ecstatically, and when they turned the corner and raised their weapons to chop down, a pitch-black bony hand pierced straight into the chest of one of them.
"It's... a zombie..." He could only spit out a few words before he quickly mutated. Within just a few seconds, his body had turned black.
The rest of the people panicked and immediately turned around to escape, but countless hands pulled them up from behind and they fell to the blood-stained snow in the blink of an eye.
It turned out that this was a small zombie den, and many zombies fell here.
Yin Xue, who was clinging to the wall, witnessed with his own eyes that those people were transformed within less than a minute of being discovered, and the superpowers in their bodies were output even faster. He also relied on his superpowers to hide under the noses of the zombies.
After watching the zombies slowly disappear, he immediately fled from here quickly, following the wall.
He looked up at the sky. He had come in in the morning and now some sunlight was leaking through the thick clouds. His supernatural power was almost exhausted.
A voice came from the intercom in my arms, "Hello? Did you make it in successfully?"
Yin Xue picked up the intercom and said, "I'm already here, but I haven't found a shelter yet. I just asked a few people. It seems this place is called a base, but when they saw I had a lot of crystal cores, they wanted to come up and kill me. Now I've turned into a zombie."
The person on the other end reminded him, "You have to be careful. We haven't been able to get any information about what's going on in City B. All communications have been cut off. Now that we've finally gotten in, let's see if we can find out the cause."
"Okay, I got it. I might have to turn off the intercom later. Contact me if you need anything."
After putting away the walkie-talkie, Yin Xue looked around and found an empty and tall building to climb up, intending to see if he could find anything from a distance.
After he climbed onto an empty roof and looked into the distance, all he saw were houses of varying heights and the occasional zombies wandering the streets.
But it's strange that the zombies outside are not as fierce as those here. The zombies in the scene just now killed several people quickly, accurately and ruthlessly.
"Hey, that's in the distance..." Yin Xue saw a layer of obvious mist covering the distant horizon. The shape outside looked like a very tall building, and the clouds and mist looked particularly different in that area.
Yin Xue thought for a long time and decided to go over and take a look. He had just rested for a while and his supernatural powers had recovered a little. Maybe he could encounter a place like the base on the way.
At this time in the villa, Shi Jiu slept in bed until almost ten o'clock, and only got up with a dizzy head when 001 called him.
"Host, your alcohol tolerance is too poor. You fell down after just a small glass of red wine."
Shi Jiu patted his head and woke up from his daze. "How should I know this? I have never drunk alcohol before. When I have dinner with friends, I only drink beverages or juice."
"Last night... did I come back to sleep by myself?" Shi Jiu thought about it. Before he fainted, it seemed that Qin Lou was cleaning up things in the kitchen. After that... he couldn't remember clearly.
001 didn't hide it from her, "No, you fainted beside the dining table. Qin Lou helped you back and then left."
It didn't say what happened in between.
"Ah? I'm not talking nonsense and getting drunk, am I?" Shi Jiu was shocked when he heard what 001 said. He looked at the thick sweater he hadn't taken off yet. No wonder he was so hot when he slept.
"No, you just cried out that you were hot a few times, and then he changed your blanket and left."
"That's good. I won't drink alcohol next time. But that stuff is quite sweet, like a fruit drink." Shi Jiu felt relieved. As long as nothing unexpected happened, it was good.
She pressed her still painful temples, got up and washed up. When she arrived at the lobby, it was already very lively outside.
"Xiao Qin, thank you for last night. I didn't expect that my alcohol tolerance was so poor. Drinks are more suitable for me." Shi Jiu said sleepily while standing by the counter.
"It's okay, I just cleaned up the kitchen. I can't eat for free, right?" Qin Lou saw that her face looked okay, without the pain of a hangover, so he felt relieved.
"Boss, I left some breakfast for her. Would you like to have some?" Qin Lou left her a breakfast of preserved egg and lean meat porridge.
Seeing the still warm porridge, Shi Jiu couldn't help but praise Qin Lou, "That's great, Xiao Qin, thank you."
As he spoke, he moved his breakfast aside and started eating. During this time, Qin Lou casually asked, "Boss, where is the flower in front of the counter? I haven't seen it for a few days and I'm a little uncomfortable."
Shi Jiu thought of 001 lying comfortably in the bedroom, "Oh, I put that in the room. If this side is empty, I'll go buy a flower pot and cut some colorful flowers from outside to make it look more presentable."
After saying that, I was almost full, so I picked out an exquisite flowerpot in the mall, planning to cut a few flowers and put them in when I go out to water the flowers.
Qin Lou saw her smooth movements and for a moment he wondered if he was too sensitive. The next second, he felt uncomfortable again. The scenes that had been suppressed were recalled frequently recently and were completely out of his control.
After Shi Jiu finished watering the flowers outside and was picking them with scissors, a man who didn't look like a survivor walked in and greeted Shi Jiu in a friendly manner.
"Hello, is this the base?"
But the warning that popped up in her mind reminded her that the person in front of her was of great importance.
[Warning! Warning! The enemy is carrying a short wooden barrel weapon, please be careful!]
