Chapter 255 Bait
Qiu Tingxu and his companions patrolled outside for a long time, and even drove directly to the suburbs, but did not see a single person.
They also captured a few pigs that had escaped from a pig farm in the deep mountains and forests, thinking that they could provide them with some extra food in the next two days.
But this pig is not easy to take back.
At this time of year, food seems particularly precious and it is impossible to throw it away.
Qiu Tingxu cast his gaze towards Xie Jinzhuo, "Hey, Uncle Xie, you are so strong, why don't you just drag them back?"
Xie Jinzhuo glanced at him, his meaning and words were very clear, "Get lost!"
Qiu Tingxu tried to persuade him with emotion and reason, "Well, tell me, if these big fat pigs are dragged back and slaughtered, you will eat the most. If you take them back now, most of them will go into your stomach. Isn't that reasonable?"
It is indeed reasonable, but Xie Jinzhuo only reasoned with Nie Jianxi and not with others.
Qiu Tingxu glanced at Nie Jianxi, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind and he slapped his head.
"I'm so stupid. I almost forgot that you seem to have a storage device. Um, can it hold so many pigs?"
Nie Jianxi looked at the pigs that were knocked unconscious by Xie Jinzhuo without changing his expression.
"Storage instruments can only hold dead objects."
Qiu Tingxu walked around the pigs and said cruelly, "Then should we kill them first?"
In the end, Xie Jinzhuo still took those poor pigs with him. The difference was that he didn't drag them by force, but stuffed them into the storage magic tool with disgust.
Storage tools are rare, and most of them have limited capacity. There is no particularly large space, usually only about ten square meters.
So even if they knew that the end of the world was coming, they had no way to rely on storage tools to stockpile large quantities of supplies in advance.
It still depends on the rich to arrange storage space in advance so that humans will have room to breathe after the end of the world.
On the way back, the sky gradually darkened, and the ink-black color spread across the sky bit by bit, covering the orange-red glow on the horizon.
If nothing unexpected happens, an accident will happen soon.
When they were driving back to the base, they met the patrolling troops and Wang Ming and his men halfway.
Qiu Tingxu was driving, and when he saw them, he slowed down.
Wang Ming looked even more listless than before. He seemed to have no energy at all. In his hand, he was holding a detector that was specifically used to detect the presence of life.
It's obvious that he didn't complete the task.
In fact, the ruins outside the base have been there for at least half a month. If there is still life existing, it would be a miracle.
The daily patrols search outside again and again with only a glimmer of hope.
Qiu Tingxu was not surprised that they couldn't save anyone, he just wanted to let them see how cruel this world is.
He rolled down the car window, looked at the darkening night sky, and said to the patrol team, "It's getting dark, it's dangerous, you can go back now."
The patrol team listened to them, gathered together, and moved in an orderly manner towards the base.
Qiu Tingxu drove slowly behind them.
The accident happened at this moment. Wang Ming and a few others were following behind the patrol team, with the patrol team protecting them in front and Qiu Tingxu and others following behind.
The technological compass in Nie Jianxi's hand suddenly began to sound an alarm, and red dots appeared on the electronic screen, flashing randomly.
Something was coming towards them.
During the day, the compass was not without response, but it could be said that it was responding everywhere. However, the whereabouts were uncertain and they were unable to split up and deal with the enemy separately.
Just wait for them to come to you, and then destroy them in one fell swoop.
Qiu Tingxu noticed the abnormality of the compass, stopped the car, and several people got out to prepare for the battle.
Sitting in the car is naturally one option, but they are dealing with ghosts, not zombies with limited powers.
A gust of wind from a stronger ghost could overturn a car or cause it to explode.
It would be easier than a head-on battle.
The patrol team also sensed the danger and quickly formed a protective circle, protecting them in the middle.
Wang Ming and his companions were dumbfounded, standing on the periphery at a loss, with panic on their faces.
"What, what, what...what happened? Why did you suddenly form a circle?"
But in fact they did not need any special protection. Nie Jianxi took out a few talismans and handed them to Wang Ming and the others. He then drew a circle outside the patrol team and made a small protective barrier with some hand gestures.
The strength is not too great, but it can protect them from attacks by evil spirits.
Normally, ghosts would not attack a patrol team composed of soldiers. After all, in their eyes, this group of people walking together are like a huge light bulb, emitting the light of merit.
But this time, a few timid people mixed in with the light of merit, like bait. Who else should we kill if not them?
Recently, the ghosts on Han Tian's side, except Xu Shiming who has retained his brain and IQ, the other ones are all quite stupid.
Only chaotic minds can be easily brainwashed. He doesn't need a very smart ghost, he just needs an obedient ghost.
Previously, a large number of little ghosts who could not be brainwashed were all killed by Nie Jianxi.
They didn't know about other urban areas, but most of the big ghosts that appeared in Nan'an City recently, especially after Xu Shiming disappeared, were not in good brains.
When they saw someone they could kill, they became very excited. A few gusts of cold wind rushed past the soldiers and headed towards Wang Ming and his men.
Then it was violently bounced away by the barrier, and the Yin energy dispersed and condensed in an instant.
Qiu Tingxu waved the Yunqi whip in his hand and lashed it into the air. The Yunqi whip would automatically extend its length. It cooperated very well with Qiu Tingxu, and every whip would ensure that it would not be in vain.
Before this, Nie Jianxi and his companions had never thought of letting ordinary people take risks at night, and they had not fought against evil spirits for several days.
Today, Qiu Tingxu accidentally attracted several evil spirits here.
Nie Jianxi's eyes were calm, his eyelashes drooped slightly, and he took out a blank talisman and handed it to Xu Yansheng.
Ask him to write a few words.
Xu Yansheng took it, bit his finger, and wrote a few words in a very dramatic manner - kill ghosts and destroy evil spirits.
Qiu Tingxu was dumbfounded, "Written like this, it will work?"
Nie Jianxi took back the talisman and said calmly, "It will work if he writes it."
This is really like an old lady crawling into bed - it made me laugh.
Xu Yansheng's blood spirit technique is already so powerful, so isn't the end of the world just around the corner?
Qiu Tingxu stared blankly at Nie Jianxi throwing the funny talisman into the air and making hand gestures to catch those evil spirits in one fell swoop.
But although the evil ghosts didn't have much brains, they were not completely brainless, and they scattered in all directions.
Thinking that the talisman could only work at a certain point, he did not give up the idea of killing ordinary people and rushed towards the barrier from all directions.
The talisman floated above the barrier. After Nie Jianxi made the gesture, a dark blue fire suddenly ignited and spread along the barrier to cover it.
The evil ghost that pounced forward and had no time to brake let out a scream. That was not a sound that a human could make. It was both unpleasant and torturous.
There were still a few fish that slipped through the net. Seeing that they really couldn't beat them, they finally decided to give up killing and wanted to escape.
As a result, Xie Jinzhuo, who had seen through everything, killed them one by one with his sword.
He was quite happy. "It's great. I finally got something today."
His eyes sparkled, and he looked at Wang Ming and his men who were trembling in the barrier with ill intent, "It seems that you are still somewhat useful. Otherwise, you will work the night shift in the future and don't have to do anything. Just take a walk outside and seduce those ghosts to come to you."
Wang Ming was so scared that he almost peed his pants. He just saw that those ghosts looked really fucking scary.
