Chapter 49 Missing
Changtuan Village.
Lin Jiyuan and his companions set out in their car early in the morning, but they did not see any trace of the mutant voles along the way.
It can be said that their process of entering Changtuan Village was extremely smooth.
Natural disasters are extremely fair to all living things. Mutated animals are forced to hibernate, mutated plants are wrapped in ice and snow, and sleeping villages open their arms to human beings with special powers.
But no one expected that there would be a high-level zombie hiding in Changtuan Village.
It can no longer be described as zombies; it would be more accurate to call it a mountain of zombies.
It is five or six meters tall, and has dozens of hands and feet, as well as other animal and plant parts.
It has a human head, a rat's tail, dog's legs, spider's glands, and a few tires and wrenches in its abdomen. It's a complete monster.
No one knows how it was born or how it evolved into this state.
Lin Jiyuan's electricity, Peng Yuan's metal, the blue vines, and the bullets fired by Lin Jiye were all automatically absorbed by the zombie monster and transformed into part of its body. All superpowers were useless in front of it. Not only was it not hurt at all, but it became even stronger.
Seeing that all his attacks were ineffective, Lin Jiyuan immediately asked his younger brothers to get in the car.
He stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, but the zombie monster followed closely behind him, dragging its heavy body.
When the zombie monster runs, its power is equivalent to that of three large trucks.
Although its body is bulky, it runs very fast. Even if Lin Jiyuan runs at full speed, it can still follow him at a distance of several hundred meters.
It destroyed several houses and more than a dozen large cedar trees along the way, and also created several cracks in the ground.
Peng Yuan and Lan Chengyin each lay on the side of the car window, one using metal power and the other using vines, trying to trip up the zombie monster and buy them time to escape.
But these had little effect, and each attack only made the zombies stunned for a few seconds.
"Brother! What should I do?" Lin Jiye kept looking back in the passenger seat.
"No. We can't go back to town." Lin Jiyuan gripped the steering wheel tightly and said in a deep voice.
The other three people in the car understood what Lin Jiyuan meant without asking.
This zombie monster couldn't even deal with them, but it kept chasing them relentlessly, as if it wouldn't stop until it caught them and made them into dinner.
Once this zombie monster is led back to Hexi Town, there will be only dozens more corpses in the town.
"Do you remember the Killer Willow?" Lin Jiyuan said.
After they settled down in Hexi Town, they never went in the direction of the Killer Willow.
Firstly, the killer willow has no legs, so it can’t pose a threat to them for the time being just growing there.
Secondly, the killer willow is bloodthirsty and murderous, like a willow monster. Growing there can help resist some of the zombies pouring out of the urban area.
It's a natural protective barrier.
Now they can't deal with this zombie monster by themselves, nor can they implicate those innocent people, so they can only pass by and put their hopes on the Killer Willow.
The village road was rugged and there were potholes caused by accumulated snow, so Lin Jiyuan steered the wheel sharply.
I was almost caught up by zombies several times along the way.
The sky was gloomy and the cold wind was blowing snowflakes into the car.
The wipers were working all the time, scraping away the snow that was drifting down the front window.
Sure enough, the zombie monster followed closely behind and came all the way to the territory of the Killer Willow.
The killer willow is worthy of being one of the first batch of evolved mutant plants, and it still sways in the wind and snow.
Moreover, both the trunk itself and the thickness and extension of the branches were much stronger than when they first saw it.
The car slowed down a bit, slow enough for the zombies to catch up.
"Hold on tight." Lin Jiyuan glanced at the rearview mirror, and then his voice mixed with the sound of the wind came.
The next second, the black RV rushed past the edge of the killer willow's branches, and the huge zombie monster was hit by the branches of the killer willow.
The branches were tightly inserted into the zombie monster's waist, bringing up a piece of flesh and blood.
The zombie monster was dragged down by the killer willow. It immediately turned around and stomped its feet, and dozens of arms reached out to grab the willow branches.
It was the zombie's stomping that caused several huge cracks to appear on the road in front of the RV. The thin layer of snow could no longer support it, and it rolled down the mountain dragging the RV with it...
Lin Jiye was the first to wake up.
He had a terrible headache, and when he touched his forehead, it was covered with sticky blood.
But he didn't care about himself, and immediately shouted to the empty surroundings: "Brother! Lan Chengyin! Peng Yuan!"
He shouted more than ten times, but the only sound echoing around him was his own shouting.
It was already dark, and the moonlight was almost invisible. Lin Jiye felt around on the ground and finally found the backpack he was carrying.
He had been carrying the backpack with him all the time, so even if he was thrown out of the car, the backpack would not be too far away from him. Sure enough, it was found.
Lin Jiye took out a high-power flashlight from his backpack, and when he saw the light in front of him, he finally felt at ease.
He limped to his feet from the ground, ignoring his injuries, and walked along the road in front of him while shouting.
After walking for a while, Lin Jiye found the RV leaning to one side.
He hurried over, but found that there was no one in the car.
"We are here..." Peng Yuan's voice came from not far away.
He walked with heavy steps and blood on his mouth, looking like he had internal injuries, but he still supported Lan Chengyin who was holding his stomach.
Lan Chengyin's condition was even worse than Peng Yuan's, with a bloody hole in his stomach caused by a stone.
"I have medicine in my bag." Lin Jiye endured the pain and ran over to take out the medicine from his backpack.
Lin Jiyuan is good at surviving in the wild. The backpack he prepared for his brother contained a first aid kit, medicines, water purification tablets, a compass, a flashlight, snake repellent powder, a folding shovel, a windproof and waterproof lighter, a fuel tank, and some freeze-dried food. Even if they went into the primeval forest, they could survive for a few days.
After applying the medicine, Lan Chengyin's breathing became more stable.
Lin Jiye then asked anxiously: "Where is my brother? Have you seen him?"
The place where he woke up was opposite to Lan Chengyin and the others. He didn't see Lin Jiyuan all the way there, so he could only pin his hopes on Lan Chengyin and the others.
But Peng Yuan and Lan Chengyin shook their heads in unison.
"Xiao Ye, we just searched everywhere over there. We didn't hear a single sound."
Peng Yuan vomited blood again.
The medicines in Lin Jiye's backpack were all for treating external injuries. Peng Yuan only took a painkiller, but it was of no help at all.
With the addition of a lame Lin Jiye, the situation of the three people was not good.
They had no idea where they had fallen, nor did they know if there were any mutated animals or plants nearby. If they were attacked, all three of them would be finished.
Lin Jiye took out the gun from his backpack: "Do you still have the two guns?"
"Yes." Peng Yuan replied with a cough.
"Okay. You two wait here for me. I'll be back in half an hour." Lin Jiye loaded the gun and looked at the darkness in the distance.
"Wait a moment." Peng Yuan used the little remaining power to conjure up a long-handled iron knife, "Take this and explore the way."
Lin Jiye walked in another direction he had never looked in, calling his brother's name as he walked, trying to hear a response.
After Peng Yuan produced the iron knife, he was too tired to straighten his body. He and Lan Chengyin leaned against the tilted body of the RV to resist the wind and snow.
"Cheng Yin, A Yuan, wake up." Lin Jiye's voice came.
He reached out his hand to brush off the snow on his two friends, and then held their hands and rubbed them to warm them up.
Lan Chengyin woke up in a daze. Due to excessive blood loss, he had already started to have a high fever. Looking at Lin Jiye, he asked, "Did you find Brother Yuan?"
"No need to look for it anymore. I'll take you back first." Lin Jiye tried his best to make his tone sound calm.
Peng Yuan and Lan Chengyin both thought they had heard wrongly.
They never thought that Lin Jiye would do this.
To Lin Jiye, his brother always comes first.
So they didn't even think of finding a way to get back to town and then find someone to rescue Lin Jiyuan.
But now Lin Jiye brought it up himself.
"Please move aside. I'll check the car to see if it can still be driven."
At this moment, Lin Jiye seemed like a different person, as calm as Lin Jiyuan.
Five hours later, daybreak arrived.
A dilapidated RV drove into Hexi Town safely.
I drove to a small stall that was emitting heat and fragrance.
Mo Fei stopped packing the sauce-flavored pancakes for others and looked towards the RV.
She felt relieved, thinking that these people had finally come back.
She left the sauce-flavored pancakes and porridge for them in the kitchen, and asked them to take them back after they got off the car.
The others who were queuing up to exchange for their sauce-flavored pancakes also looked towards the RV, curiosity written all over their faces.
The strength of Lin Jiyuan and his companions is obvious to all.
These four people are like brothers, they go in and out together, work together, and do not accept other survivors into the team.
But if they encounter other survivors in danger on the road, they will also help.
Lai Zi and Zeng Gaoming had received help from Lin Jiyuan and others on several occasions.
Lin Jiyuan always brings back a lot of supplies every time we go out together. This time they were gone for a day and a night, and everyone guessed that they must have gained a lot this time.
Maybe there are some hard goods.
Now everyone is gradually treating the supernatural crystal core as the golden messenger.
The smallest supernatural crystal core is the size of a grain of rice, if it is as big as a fingernail it is considered medium, and if it is as big as a fist it is amazing, big enough to be called hard goods, and the user can enjoy the privilege of a monthly meal subscription from Mo Fei.
But they waited for several minutes and no one got off the bus.
Mo Fei realized something was wrong, wiped his hands and walked towards the RV.
The person sitting in the driver's seat was not Lin Jiyuan, but Lin Jiye.
Without Lin Jiyuan's power supply, the car's fuel and electricity could not be replenished.
They didn't dare turn on the air conditioner along the way and only managed to get back here in the minus 20 degree Celsius weather.
Lin Jiye's eyebrows and mouth were covered with ice crystals. When he saw Mo Fei coming, he opened his mouth tremblingly: "Save my brother..."
On the other side, when Lin Jiyuan woke up, he found himself in a place similar to a cave.
There was a fire burning in the cave. A man in a down jacket was sitting by the fire, rummaging through Lin Jiyuan's backpack.
“This is delicious…crunch, crunch.”
“This tastes terrible.”
The man turned over all the food inside, opened the lid and started eating.
He seemed not to notice that Lin Jiyuan behind him had woken up.
Lin Jiyuan moved his eyes downwards and found that the thing this man thought was unpalatable was the beef jerky he had dried himself, while the thing he thought was delicious was the double beef cheeseburger and popcorn chicken that Mo Fei had packed for him before he left.
His expression rarely relaxed and his brows were furrowed.
"I think it would taste better if you heat it up."
Lin Jiyuan sat up.
As soon as he finished speaking, the man stopped what he was doing and disappeared from the spot like a ghost, and appeared behind Lin Jiyuan in the next second.
A knife made of ice was pressed against Lin Jiyuan's neck.
"You talk too much." The voice was slow but contained a threat.
This was the first time Lin Jiyuan felt threatened by a human being.
This feeling is not good.
"You'd better not use your supernatural powers. I have frozen your meridians. If you force yourself to use them, you will die without me having to kill you."
The man put away his ice skates and stretched.
"You saved me?" Lin Jiyuan asked.
"Oh, you think too much. I can't find anything to eat here, so I dragged you back to eat as meat. But you are lucky, you actually have food in your bag. I am full today, and I will eat you tomorrow. Tomorrow I will eat your left hand, and the day after tomorrow your right hand. After eating your limbs, I will eat your internal organs, and then your head."
The man continued to eat the contents of his lunch box while planning his own diet.
Lin Jiyuan was silent.
He didn't dare to gamble. He could feel that this man's supernatural power level was not lower than his. If what this man said was true, he would die suddenly if he forcibly used his supernatural power.
Don't be reckless.
"Burp~ It's delicious. I haven't eaten something so delicious in a long time. I have to go out and exercise, otherwise my abdominal muscles will be gone."
The man stretched and prepared to leave the cave.
But before leaving, he took the climbing rope from Lin Jiyuan's bag, tied Lin Jiyuan up, and then walked away slowly.
"The king asked me to patrol the mountains. I'll take a look around the human world." He sang as he walked, walking on the icy cliffs as if they were flat ground.
But at a corner I heard a woman's voice.
"Lin Jiyuan, who is this?" He picked his ears and muttered to himself, "You came just in time. There is a road to heaven but you don't take it, there is no door to hell but you come to it on your own. First you caught a man, then a woman, and before we eat, she even played Landlord with me."
Before the man got close, he heard a conversation coming from the other side.
"Sister Mo, I've searched everywhere here. No one is there."
"Yeah, maybe Brother Yuan fell into a snow pit. Should we try to shovel the snow?"
"Are you crazy? It's such a big place, I'll have to shovel the snow until my grandson is born."
“…”
Mo Fei was silent for a while: "Let's rest here first. We have been out for a long time, let's eat and replenish our energy first."
"Eat?!" The person eavesdropping in the corner suddenly pricked up his ears.
He is not interested in anything except eating.
