Chapter 74: Acquaintances
They were not curious about how Yuan Lu punished his team members.
As soon as the sky broke, Gu Bingchen and his team packed up and prepared to leave.
"Damn! What was that? Was it a ghost?" Long Yilan rubbed her eyes, thinking that she was blurry because of sleepiness. Her tone suddenly rose, with a hint of surprise.
In the dim light, a woman in a white dress stood with her back to them next to the off-road vehicle. Her long black hair covered half of her figure. The shadows of the trees were swaying, and a gust of cold wind blew up the corners of her skirt. Long Yilan rubbed her arms and felt goosebumps all over her body.
Gu Bingchen glanced at her: "Are you still afraid of these gods and ghosts?"
Long Yilan: "So what? People are always terrified by unknown things."
"NO, so far, you are the only one who is scared." Gu Bingchen sneered, "I don't know if there are ghosts in the world, but there are many people who pretend to be ghosts."
Long Yilan was taught some knowledge and legends about ghosts by Tang Yichao last time. Hearing this, she glanced at the woman's feet and breathed a sigh of relief. The shadow was still there, and it seemed that someone was indeed pretending to be a ghost.
Several people did not rush forward, but stood to see what the person wanted to do.
The woman in the white dress was Xiao Qian who was scolded by Yuan Yu.
Before the end of the world, she was a rich second-generation, and people always flattered her, not a younger brother. In addition, Yuan Lu bluntly revealed her plan, and she was unwilling and resentful, so she set her sights on Gu Bingchen and others.
Xiao Qian felt that as long as she hooked up with one of these three men, her second half of life would be guaranteed.
At first, her plan was to sell it after dawn. As she thought about it, she seemed to have seen the beautiful life in the future waving at her, and she was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night.
This also made her immediately aware that Gu Bingchen and others were leaving before dawn, so she had to rush to the place where the off-road vehicle was parked and wait while everyone was still asleep.
"Why haven't you come yet?"
Xiao Qian was only wearing a white suspender dress. Not to mention that it was winter, even in the morning of summer, the weather was slightly cool. The cold wind was biting, and she was shivering from the cold. Her lips turned purple and her face turned pale.
"Well, I think if we go forward now, I don't know how much time it will take." Long Yilan hid behind the tree. Although she wanted to join in the fun, especially the fun of these men, she gave up the idea because the mission of this trip had not been completed.
Gu Bingchen was too lazy to waste time. The distance was not far, and he could immediately put the off-road vehicle back into the space.
Xiao Qian was stunned for a moment when such a large off-road vehicle disappeared from the spot. Then she came to her senses and turned back in surprise. Before she could say anything, she saw another car whizzing past her.
"Wait for me!"
Xiao Qian didn't think twice and ran to catch up, but she was not a wind-type or speed-type superpower, so how could she outrun a small car? After a while, she was so tired that she was panting, bent over, and coughed with her knees propped up.
"If I had known, I would have followed them, not arrived earlier!" Xiao Qian was so angry that she stomped her feet on the spot, but it hit her nerves again, and her calves cramped.
Zombies have become smart these days, especially high-level zombies, who can sense danger keenly and hide everywhere like loaches. They are really hard to find. In the freezing winter, even ordinary zombies are hard to find.
Gu Bingchen and his team had no choice but to look for them in remote mountainous areas or villages.
God helps those who work hard. Long Yilan pried open the zombie's skull with a knife, dug out a crystal core, and then began to collect the zombie's blood. The
zombie had very little blood, which was reddish-brown in color and more viscous. It took her a lot of effort to collect enough to fill several test tubes.
Gu Bingchen looked up at the sun above his head, blinked, and said, "Let's go back. This damn weather is really tiring."
As he said that, he wrapped his coat tightly around him.
Jiang Yunqi remembered that there seemed to be a few warm clothes stored in the space button. These were stuffed into him by the marshal when he was still alive.
"Wear this." He took out a warm coat from the space button and handed it to Gu Bingchen. "It has a good insulation effect."
Gu Bingchen sat in the back seat, exhaled a breath of cold air, looked at the gray vest in front of him, and smiled, "I'm not cold, you wear it."
"You're so stubborn, your lips are all purple."
Maybe because I've been with Gu Bingchen for a long time, I've picked up some of his habits when I speak.
Gu Bingchen had no choice but to take off his coat and put on the gray warm clothes. Don't say it, the high-tech is amazing. The body felt warm as soon as I put it on.
Jiang Yunqi took in the other party's surprise and began to plan to find time to sort out the inventory of space buttons after returning.
He ate some biscuits for lunch and had something hot when he returned to the base in the evening.
Long Yilan looked at Xie Er in the driver's seat with envy and muttered, "Why don't you let me drive?"
Xie Er drove the car steadily without looking away. He said, "When you stop driving the car as a mecha, you can officially learn how to drive."
"You..." Long Yilan choked and had nothing to refute.
The temperature in the car was suitable. It is said that people tend to feel sleepy after a meal. Gu Bingchen leaned comfortably on Jiang Yunqi's shoulder, squinting his eyes. When he was about to fall asleep, he braked suddenly and his head tilted forward. If Jiang Yunqi had not reacted in time, his head would have hit the back of the chair.
"What happened?"
Gu Bingchen's voice was slightly hoarse, and he half-closed his eyes, not understanding what happened.
Xie Er turned aside and said, "There is someone blocking the road in the middle of the road."
"Then go around it. It's another scammer." Gu Bingchen yawned without any image.
"No, this person is an acquaintance." This is the reason why Xie Er suddenly braked.
Long Yilan opened the car window and looked out. The girl was thin and holding an unconscious child in her arms. She was wearing a mask and her face could not be seen clearly, but her eyes were a familiar blue.
"It's you! Little sister."
This person turned out to be Jixue, whom she had not seen for a long time.
"Why are you here?"
Although she felt a little happy about meeting someone after a long separation, Long Yilan did not get out of the car. In the doomsday, it is always right to be vigilant.
Jixue did not expect that the person in the car was an acquaintance. His blue eyes lit up. He was surprised at first, and then a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to stop the car." She lowered her head and looked at the weak and pale little boy in her arms. After hesitating, her eyes became firmer. "I beg you to save this little boy."
"Yangyang?"
Jiang Yunqi was the first to sense a familiar breath. At first, he thought it was Jixue, but it turned out to be someone else.
Long Yilan also remembered the cute and lively little boy last night. After not seeing him for a long time, he was in trouble. So she hurriedly got out of the car and called Jixue to come up.
Even though he was in a coma, Yangyang's little hand was still covering his head, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Xie Er subconsciously judged: "Overuse of supernatural powers."
However, after smelling the strong smell of blood in the air, his expression was solemn and his tone was affirmative: "He is also injured."
Jixue nodded and carefully unzipped his down jacket. There was a terrifying claw mark on his white and tender belly. The bleeding has not stopped yet. The blood dripped on the down jacket and was quickly absorbed by the cotton inside.
They dared not imagine how much blood could be squeezed out of this down jacket.
"It's a bit tricky, we must return to the base immediately."
Time is urgent. If they are a second slower, Yangyang's situation will only become more serious.
Jixue bit her lip. Logically, after completing the task entrusted to her, she could leave directly now, but her mind always flashed the woman's resolute eyes and her reluctance to leave Yangyang.
Jiang Yunqi asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
"I..."
Her brothers and sisters have helped her a lot. She can't ask them for help just because they are powerful.
No! No!
They must not be put in danger.
Jixue's eyes darkened, and she made up her mind. She opened the car door and jumped out of the car quickly, saying, "It's okay. You guys hurry back to the base to save Yangyang. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
The girl was indeed very fast, but she was still no match for Gu Bingchen's speed.
He grabbed her wrist and smiled softly, "Why are you in such a hurry? There's a ghost chasing you."
Then, he turned his head and shouted, "Old Xie, you and Alan go back to the base first. Ayun and I will go see what happened."
Xie Er nodded, turned the steering wheel, and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. There was still some distance from here to the base, and they had to get back to the base as quickly as possible.
"Okay, tell me, what happened?" Gu Bingchen released another car from the space, opened the door, looked at the worried Jixue, and said, "Little brat, why do you think so much? Be careful not to grow tall."
The two of them had made up their minds to follow Jixue, and they had no choice but to lower their heads, feeling frustrated and depressed.
In the end, it still brought them trouble.
"I met Yangyang on the way to find supplies."
Jixue sat in the middle of the back seat, leaned out her head, pointed the way, and described what happened to her and Yangyang in simple language.
A while ago, she had a high fever, and when she woke up, she found that she had wind-related abilities.
While collecting supplies, she would kill zombies and dig out crystal cores to increase her ability level.
This morning, just after dawn, Jixue rushed down the mountain carrying a backpack she had sewn.
As soon as she reached the foot of the mountain, she heard the sound of fierce fighting, mixed with the crying and cursing of the crowd.
She didn't want to get into trouble, so she thought about taking a detour.
As a result, on the way down the mountain, a fierce attack came straight at her. The speed was too fast and she couldn't avoid it at all. She thought her life was over. A vine wrapped around her waist and abdomen, and she barely avoided the sudden attack.
Jixue climbed up from the ground, and before she could catch her breath, a child was stuffed in her arms.
Looking down, it was still an acquaintance, the little boy she met yesterday.
The little boy's face was pale, his eyes were closed, and he fell into a coma. He didn't look like the cute and smart boy he was when they first met.
The disheveled woman knelt down and begged her for help.
Thinking that she had just been saved, Jixue was not the kind of ungrateful person, so under the cover of the woman, he rushed out of the dangers holding Yangyang.
Listening to this description, it should be Yuan Lu and his friends.
"What on earth did they encounter?" Gu Bingchen tapped the steering wheel with his fingers, "Yuan Lu's level is not low, and the thing that she can't deal with may be some kind of mutant."
Jixue nodded repeatedly, and her sweet voice was tinged with a little fear: "Yes, it's a mutant."
When the wolf ran away, she looked back and her pupils suddenly contracted.
"It was a white tiger, a huge mutant white tiger."
