Everyone knew how Cheng Wei was treated in this base, and since he seemed extremely uneasy about everyone else leaving, Lu Qianzhi specifically asked Cheng Yi to stay with him.
The others didn't trust him, and without a guide, Cheng Wei drew a route map for them and told them the location of the People's Hospital.
While he was painting, Jiang Chuyi also went over to take a look out of curiosity. Although it was just a few strokes, the three-dimensional sense of space was immediately revealed. Even people who had never been there felt that they could recognize the way at a glance.
He is worthy of being the chief designer of the survivors' base.
Now this route map is in He Shizhao's hands.
He opened his hands and looked at the picture. Jiang Chuyi leaned in his arms and took a look as well.
"This is the road." He Sizhao rubbed Jiang Chuyi's head and put away the road map. "Just keep going."
Wu Yi and Su Mo sat in the back seat. They were used to following He Sizhao through life and death, and their breathing was very steady. However, Lu Qianzhi, who was driving, felt a little uneasy.
"Major General, are you really not worried about that unknown entity?" he said. "We haven't made any preparations."
"We are facing it, and this is what we are preparing for." He Sizhao's voice was light, but it had the power to calm people's hearts.
"Whatever that thing is, I still doubt it's that scary," Wuyi said with a grin. "After all, none of those people have awakened talents, so what they say doesn't match our standards."
"Not necessarily." Jiang Chuyi said suddenly.
He Sizhao lowered his head and looked at the dark head in his arms: "Xiaoyi, what did you feel?"
They now know that Jiang Chuyi's talent is "sensing good and bad" and they attach great importance to her opinions.
If it were in the past, Jiang Chuyi would definitely not bother to care about what these people guessed or thought. Even if she stepped into a trap, it would be none of her business, and it wouldn't matter whether she died or not.
But now, she looked up at He Sizhao's concerned eyes, then looked at the concerned eyes of others, lowered her head and nestled back into He Sizhao's arms, muttering softly, "There's something wrong with that little mustache."
"Xiaoyi, are you saying he's a bad guy? There's no doubt about that, he is." Wuyi said nonchalantly, "Look, Xiaoxue agrees too."
Xiaoxue in Su Mo's arms blinked her round eyes and looked at him. There seemed to be a hint of looking at a fool in her eyes. Hearing what he said, she buried her head in Su Mo's palm.
Su Mo pondered, "If that thing is really powerful and has the intention to attack humans, then why didn't we attract its attention even though we stayed there all night and made quite a noise?"
"Needless to say?" Wuyi immediately became excited and shouted, "It must be because we are too strong. The monsters sensed a sense of dominance from us and were scared to death just by looking at us from afar!"
Of course, this was considered a fantasy by others.
This time, Xiaoxue looked at Wuyi with appreciation, and then looked at Jiang Chuyi in the front seat.
"It's more likely that it's in a weak state right now," Su Mo reasoned. "Even zombies aren't completely without weaknesses, let alone some kind of mutant creature."
"Isn't that even better?" Wuyi said, full of energy and enthusiasm, waving his hand like a hot-blooded comic book protagonist. "Let's kill it while it's still sick and catch it all in one fell swoop!"
Jiang Chuyi remained silent.
As soon as she stepped into Luyang City, she felt that faint aura, but it didn't come to her on its own initiative, so she pretended not to know.
If she did, she couldn't explain how she knew that.
Before, she thought it didn’t matter whether her identity was exposed or not, as these weak humans could not pose any threat to her. But now, seeing so much of these people’s hatred and disgust for zombies, she began to feel irritated unconsciously when she thought that those eyes would fall on her one day.
She didn't know why, but she always followed her heart, so she chose not to say anything.
That guy better be smart, or else...
Jiang Chuyi buried herself in He Shizhao's arms, leaning against his warm chest, but a cold light flashed in her eyes.
"Are you cold?" He Sizhao hugged her a little tighter and turned on the heater in the car regardless of the fact that the temperature was around 30 or 40 degrees Celsius.
Jiang Chuyi's body temperature has always been so low that he doesn't look like a living person. Others didn't have any opinions, but just wiped the sweat off their foreheads silently.
"Our goal is to find medicine, not to kill monsters. Don't put the cart before the horse." Lu Qianzhi said helplessly, "If we can successfully find the medicine without alerting the monster, that would be perfect."
They arrived at the area marked on the route map smoothly. The zombies around them seemed to be afraid of something. There were fewer and fewer of them along the way, and there were even few of them left at the end.
Wuyi was greatly surprised, but the expressions of the other three became serious.
After all, there is always a nemesis. The thing that can make these zombies so afraid... I'm afraid it's not as useless as Wuyi said.
Jiang Chuyi: Expressionless.
The gate of the People's Hospital was in ruins, with corpses scattered all over the ground. Some of them were even dried up, with traces of being eaten by animals.
The gate was open because someone was escaping, so they opened it carefully and went in.
The further they went in, the more serious their expressions became.
Jiang Chuyi felt the muscles in He Sizhao's arms holding him tense up instantly, and he was immediately in a state of readiness to strike.
She raised her head lazily and saw the scene in front of her, with a look of disgust on her face.
In the central square in front of the outpatient building, the musical fountain has completely dried up, and it is filled with swollen and white corpses, covered with traces of being pecked by birds and beasts, and the rotten flesh is incomplete.
What's even more terrifying is its surroundings.
There were layers of densely packed corpses piled here, some human, some zombies, some rotten, and some still bleeding. In such a large space, the corpses were piled more than half a person's height, and even the door of the outpatient building was blocked tightly.
The corpses on the top layer seemed to have died only a few days ago. Sticky blood flowed out from the gaps in the broken limbs, staining the rotten corpses underneath again.
Seeing this scene, even some of these people who had experienced the end of the world for a long time could not bear it and vomited on the spot.
The atmosphere in the car was very solemn.
He Sizhao opened the car door first, and immediately a strong stench rushed in.
The weather is hot now, and these corpses have not been dealt with. There are so many of them piled together, the smell is indescribable.
"I feel like I'm dead." Wuyi's eyes were empty, and he stretched out his hand vaguely, "All I see before me is the revolving lantern of life."
As if he was afraid that Jiang Chuyi would be scared, He Sizhao kept standing in front of her. Everyone looked at the huge pile of corpses, and no one had a good look on their face.
"Now I have complete faith in what Cheng Wei said," one team member muttered, "What kind of monster has turned this place into what it is..."
"Nest," Su Mo continued. He released Xiaoxue, letting it sniff around and search for scents. "Whatever this thing is, it's quite intelligent. It knows how to build a nest and... store food."
He glanced at the fresh corpses on the top layer again, fearing that these were also survivors who had come in before them.
Unintentionally horrified: "Then aren't we just walking straight into its lair?"
"We're already inside, let's think about how to get out." He Sizhao looked up, "Su Mo, let the captain come out."
"Captain?" Wuyi was stunned.
Others didn’t know, but when Jiang Chuyi heard this name, his eyes suddenly lit up.
In the original storyline, the captain was Su Mo's second beast, a...
A clear cry came from the sky, and as everyone stared in amazement, a huge bird swooped down from the control, its wings covering the sky and the sun.
With an exclamation, it stood steadily on Su Mo's shoulder, its jade-colored claws hooked on its combat uniform, and its sharp eyes on its curved beak scanned the entire scene with arrogance.
Su Mo said with a gentle smile: "Let me introduce to you all, this is the captain, a male Saker Falcon."
Who wouldn’t love such a majestic and powerful companion?
Everyone's eyes were filled with envy, and Wu Yi couldn't help but move forward and reach out to touch him: "Oh my god, Su Mo, it's only been a few days since we last met, and you've gained such a cool and handsome friend. I'm really jealous...ah!"
The Saker Falcon didn't give Wu Yi any face at all and pecked at his finger with its powerful beak, scaring him so much that he immediately retracted his beak.
Everyone laughed in a good-natured way.
You can tell at a glance that this bird has a very high IQ. Once it recognizes its owner, it will not change. Others can forget about touching it.
"Be careful, the captain has a bad temper..."
Before Su Mo could finish his words, he suddenly froze on the spot.
A slender and soft hand was placed on the captain's white and black feathers, gently stroking them.
The captain, who had just been so heartless as to not recognize anyone, now closed his huge eagle eyes, lowered his head and rubbed the hand lightly as if enjoying it.
Su Mo's words were stuck in his throat, and the others were also stunned.
They stared at Jiang Chuyi standing on tiptoe and gently stroking the captain's feathers. Both the man and the falcon had gentle expressions.
Su Mo looked at her steadily for a while, and a smile gradually appeared on his lips.
"Xiaoyi, the animals all like you very much."
Jiang Chuyi said: "I like them too."
This was the second thing she clearly expressed her "liking" besides the white dress.
She patted the bird's head. "Your name is Captain, aren't you a scout? Get to work."
The captain neighed, and without waiting for Su Mo's order, he spread his wings and circled up, flying around here.
Everyone showed surprised expressions. Su Mo said, "It seems that I don't need to recruit new partners in the future. Just bringing Xiaoyi with me is more useful than ten of me."
Jiang Chuyi didn't care, his eyes always following the two moving animals.
The captain was worthy of being a captain. Within two minutes, he picked up something from the pile of corpses and threw it in front of everyone.
As soon as they saw it, everyone's faces became serious.
He Sizhao used the butt of his gun to poke open the huge, rolled-up leather object and spat out two words: "Snake skin."
"This... is such a big snake?" Wuyi swallowed, "This snake must be about twenty meters long, right?"
snake?
Jiang Chuyi grasped the key words, squeezed next to He Sizhao, looked at the snake skin that was big enough to be used as a quilt, and a look of realization appeared in his eyes.
Su Mo’s third companion is coming.
There was a hint of solemnity between He Shizhao's brows. He could not be afraid, but he could not take everyone to die.
For such a big snake, you can imagine how powerful its fighting power is.
"Su Mo, take the others..." back.
Before He Sizhao could finish his words, he saw Jiang Chuyi walking straight towards Su Mo.
She raised her head, her delicate little face full of determination.
"Su Mo, you can handle it."
He Sizhao's expression changed, and Su Mo's eyes were filled with emotion.
"Do you think... I can tame this snake?"
"You can do it." Jiang Chuyi said with great trust. After all, this was written in the original plot. Besides, to her, animals are much more likable than people, so the more of them around her, the better.
"Xiaoyi, do you actually trust me so much?" Su Mo's face was filled with an expression that left his usual gentleness behind. Instead, he looked rather gloomy. "Since you trust me, are you willing to come in with me?"
"Su Mo." He Sizhao called him warningly.
For the first time, Su Mo turned a deaf ear to He Sizhao's words and just stared at Jiang Chuyi.
"OK."
Jiang Chuyi was not afraid and agreed very readily. She looked at Su Mo's sparkling eyes and added another sentence.
"You can do it here, trust me."
As Su Mo's face broke into a bright smile, He Sizhao's faint voice sounded behind him.
"So can I."
