Chapter 86 The Passage
Xi Ling listened to Du Hao's brief account of what had happened in the past few days. The situation was better than he had imagined. The news of his serious injury and disappearance was suppressed by Du Hao and Tao Zheng. It was already good that it took so long to cause any problems.
If he went back with serious injuries, it would probably directly provoke conflicts. Jiehuo had many more people than them this time. Just like their name, they would definitely take advantage of the situation. If a fight really broke out, Yeren would definitely suffer.
Now thinking about it, these people were probably well prepared. At that time, I thought it was just a coincidence that both parties chose this small city. Although Xi Ling was more cautious, he didn't expect that the danger came from the people around him.
After talking with Du Hao, the two of them basically understood what had happened before.
That day, after they finished killing the zombies and cleaning up, Xi Ling handed a bottle of water to Xu Sheng who was taking a break. However, Xu Sheng did not take the water, but stretched out a thorn from his hand, which pierced his abdomen directly, and blood spurted all over Xu Sheng. Xi
Ling fell to the ground bleeding profusely. Xu Sheng squatted down and said sorry to him with a trembling voice, then took something from him and ran away in a hurry without looking back.
Not long after Xu Sheng left, he met Du Hao who came back to meet him. Du Hao saw that he looked a little uneasy and was alone here, so he asked him in confusion. Xu Sheng said that it was Xi Ling who asked him to leave first. Although Du Hao thought it was a bit strange, because Xu Sheng was Xi Ling's childhood friend and had known Xi Ling for much longer than all of them, he did not doubt it.
When Du Hao arrived at the original location, he did not find Xi Ling, but saw a large pool of blood on the ground. He suddenly felt that something was wrong. He followed the blood stains to search, but he did not walk far before his trail was cut off and he could not find him anymore. He suddenly realized that Xu Sheng had left strangely. At that time, he seemed to smell blood on Xu Sheng, but they had killed many zombies before, and they all had some smell on their bodies. In addition, Xu Sheng was wearing black clothes, so he did not pay much attention. Then he had a terrible idea, so he turned around and chased Xu Sheng.
Xi Ling did not die immediately. When he heard Xu Sheng apologize to him, he understood what happened. So after Xu Sheng left, he forced himself to get up and leave. However, he was bleeding and left marks on the road. So he tore off his clothes and tied the wound tightly. He got away from the scene as quickly as possible and climbed into the hospital from a hidden position. He killed several zombies on the way and consumed his limited physical strength. Finally, he couldn't hold on and found a room to lie down. Then he met Yun Shuhuai and the others.
Xi Ling thought he was really going to die, but after seeing Yun Shuhuai, he was gambling, gambling on a possible glimmer of life, so he didn't kill him, but only used the metal spikes. The opponent also attacked defensively and didn't directly hurt his life.
Fortunately, he made the right bet.
After Xu Sheng separated from Du Hao, he rode very fast. Du Hao tried his best to chase him but finally saw him running to Jiehuo's camp. The relationship between the two forces was not very good, so he could not go in. He could only retreat to find Tao Zheng and Song Linchuan to find a solution. The three of them searched around for a while and finally found clues in the hospital, but when they reached the end, they found that Xi Ling was missing, so they guessed that someone rescued him.
After that, the three of them calmed people's hearts while quietly going out to look for Xi Ling. They thought they would wait until Jiehuo left before mobilizing everyone to look for him, but Jiehuo seemed to understand their thoughts and refused to leave. He spread the news of Xi Ling's death while tempting Yeren's people to defect.
Du Hao and the other two insisted that Xi Ling had gone out alone to carry out the mission. They also destroyed all the things that could prove that Xi Ling was injured, such as his blood, torn clothes, and blood-stained gauze. Since they couldn't find Xi Ling, Jiehuo would definitely not be able to find him either. After all, Xu Sheng had been Xi Ling's friend for more than ten years. He wouldn't be able to gain Jiehuo's trust so quickly, so they just had to use this time to try their best to find Xi Ling.
But without Xi Ling's presence, the three of them couldn't hold out for long. Du Hao had been running for many days without closing his eyes. Many people had defected in the past few days, and the Jiehuo people were getting more and more arrogant. Yesterday, they killed two of their companions who were alone and denied it. Today, they dared to openly surround and kill Du Hao. It took these two days for them to completely tear their faces apart.
Fortunately, Xi Ling came back, and their efforts were not in vain.
Xi Ling was listening to what Du Hao and others were saying. Several people suddenly burst into tears while talking, and Xi Ling began to comfort them one by one.
His companions had been under such great pressure during this period, and as the leader, he was to blame for being away for so long, after all, the fire was mainly aimed at him.
But these companions did not abandon him in the moment of crisis, and still trusted him and waited for him to come back. He would never let this friendship down in the future.
Xi Ling was supposed to go back these two days, and since he met them in advance, he might as well go back directly.
Yun Shuhuai and Xi Qing leaned on the car and watched the group of men crying together from a distance. As outsiders, they had no interest in listening to what they said.
Bored of waiting, Yun Shuhuai looked around at the zombies on the ground and shouted to them, "Xi Ling! Can I pick one up?" She pointed at the zombies on the ground.
Xi Ling was originally comforting his companions, but when he heard Yun Shuhuai calling him, he nodded after understanding what she meant.
So Yun Shuhuai took out a plastic bag and started running around, controlling a dozen Hunter No. 3s to dig out crystal cores quickly. As long as she took a glance, Hunter No. 3 could accurately dig out the crystal core and throw it into the plastic bag in her hand, with extremely high efficiency. Xi Qing also took out a bag, drew out a knife, and opened the zombies on the ground one by one to pick up the crystal cores.
Du Hao and his men were crying hard, and then they saw the unarmed girl running around and digging out all the crystal cores of the nearby zombies in a short while. They were gradually stunned and even forgot to cry.
The shuttles moved around her at high speed, and each time they hit a zombie's head, they could immediately bring out a crystal core. More than a dozen shuttles were dispatched at the same time, and the scene was extremely spectacular. Moreover, the range of movement of the shuttles was very large, and they could reach zombies more than 20 meters away.
Yun Shuhuai ended the battle in less than three minutes. There were not many zombies here, and the crystal cores he picked up were only about a hundred.
"Boss... Boss." Du Hao swallowed and asked, "Who are these two? They are too professional."
The most troublesome step in killing zombies is to pick up the crystal cores. In order to improve efficiency, they all went out to dig crystal cores together. Although they also had supernatural powers to assist, their efficiency was definitely not as good as this one.
Yun Shuhuai didn't seem to have any weapons with her. She looked beautiful and harmless when she was bandaging them. They all thought that Xi Qing, who was carrying a weapon behind her, was protecting her, but it seems that this person is the real ruthless one.
"They are level 5 psychics from somewhere else."
"Level 5!" Everyone was shocked. They thought that Xi Ling, who was level 4, was already very powerful, but these two were actually level 5. How many zombies must they have killed? No wonder they are so professional.
"Oh my god, boss, you are hooking up with a rich woman... Ouch!"
Du Hao was hit on the head again.
