The wheat in the spiritual field in the space has turned into a golden field, but now no one has the strength to harvest the wheat.
Seeing everyone exhausted, Grandma Li Xiuying brought a lot of thirst-quenching fruits and a few cups of well water. Everyone knew that this well water not only contained spiritual power but also replenished physical strength, so they all took the water and started drinking.
After drinking a glass of water, they felt much better, so they ate some fruit and talked with their grandparents about what happened outside today.
"Is there anyone living on the top of this mountain?" Lin Yunguo asked in surprise.
"They are just people who want to avoid zombies by living in seclusion," Lin Xiuyuan said after taking a bite of a peach. He felt that those two people were too confident, which might not be a good thing.
"We have tried to persuade them, but they still chose what they insisted on. I hope they can stay safe forever," Su Jin said. If they have the chance, they will come here to hunt again. After all, the harvest this time is quite great.
I hope that when they come again, they can still see those two people safe and sound.
Su Xiangzhe also told the two elders about the mutant weasel they encountered today. Li Xiuying was very interested in this mutant weasel. After learning that it was burned by Lu Hao, she felt a little disappointed. You know, she had only seen such monsters transformed into human forms in Journey to the West and Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. She didn't expect that now that the end of the world has come, such monsters would really appear.
"That's a mutant weasel, grandma. Do you want your brother-in-law to catch it and let you play with it?" Lin Xiuyuan joked.
"Forget it, the weasel is so smelly." Li Xiuying actually really wanted to see the weasel's magic tricks, but was too embarrassed to say anything.
"It's not smelly, it smells good. Next time you see one, catch one for grandma," Lu Hao said seriously, not looking like he was joking at all.
After hearing this, Li Xiuying quickly waved her hands and said no, she would rather play with Tuhao Jin, Tuhao Jin is so cute.
"Grandma, didn't my uncle and his family come in today?" Su Jin noticed that her aunt Huang Yunxiang had been looking at the alarm clock on the wall. She must be worried about her uncle and his family. However, they should be back at this time, but they haven't come in yet. Could they be delayed by something? Or have they encountered some danger?
"They haven't come in since you went out together last time today. Isn't it time for them to come back now?" Li Xiuying said.
"It should be soon, let's wait a little longer," Su Jin said, fearing that everyone would worry.
Not long after, Su's mother Lin Tianhui came in first, but she was alone.
"Sister-in-law, why haven't Lin Cheng and the others come back yet?" Huang Yunxiang asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, they are fine. It's just Lin Cheng who suffered some minor injuries, but I have cured him. They are still with Liang Jiuhui. I came in to tell you first so that you don't worry." After saying this, Lin Tianhui snatched the water cup from Su Xiangzhe's hand and drank it in big gulps.
"Mom, how did my uncle get injured? Are you okay?" Su Jin asked what everyone wanted to ask.
"It's okay, it's okay. Don't worry. I, a logistics staff member, am even finer. Let me relax for a while." Lin Tianhui looked like she had just participated in a marathon and was exhausted and out of breath.
"I'm glad you're okay. Take a rest first and we'll talk later," Su Xiangzhe comforted her while stroking her back.
"Auntie, are my parents okay?" Mao Qiqi asked worriedly.
"It's okay, my family is fine. Let me tell you, today was very thrilling." Lin Tianhui had recovered at this moment and began to tell everyone what happened at the base today.
It turned out that when the base was repairing the city wall this afternoon, it was attacked by a small wave of zombies, and the psychics who were participating in the construction immediately fought back.
However, it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon, and the superpowers of the psychics had been almost exhausted after a day's work.
Fortunately, because Lin Cheng was a second-level psychic, he still had some energy left, so he used the stones dug out from the city wall to smash the zombies to pieces. Although most of them did not hit the vital parts, many zombies lost their ability to move.
Then, he took advantage of the gap when other psychics were using their powers to attack the zombie group, and activated his earth-based powers to use the surrounding soil to trap the zombies in an earth wall. This delayed some time, allowing Liang Jiuhui and his men to arrive smoothly and deal with the zombie group.
Although Lin Cheng suffered some minor injuries, they were only scratches. Originally, Lin Tianhui was planning to return with Mao Zhihang and Lin Tianzhen after healing him, but Liang Jiuhui invited Lin Cheng and the other two, saying that he wanted to know what happened today.
Lin Tianhui found an excuse and came back alone, while Lin Cheng and the other three were still with Liang Jiuhui.
In Liang Jiuhui's office, he first expressed his gratitude to the three people, especially Lin Cheng. Thanks to his quick reaction, they were able to hold back the zombie horde, and the soldiers who arrived later eliminated the zombies with almost no sacrifices.
"It's what we deserve. We can't just sit there and watch the zombies come in, haha." Lin Cheng said with a smile, without showing a trace of pride.
Liang Jiuhui nodded and continued to ask: "When you first discovered it, did you find anything special about this group of zombies?"
This is what he cares about most. In the past two days, there have been small waves of zombies coming to harass the construction of the base. If the first time was just a coincidence, then he had to doubt it this time.
Lin Cheng shook his head. He was only thinking about how to kill the zombies at that time and did not notice the characteristics of this group of zombies.
"If you ask me about the special features, I think there are some," said Mao Zhihang who was next to Lin Cheng.
Liang Jiuhui and the others present looked at Mao Zhihang. Mao Zhihang thought for a moment and said, "I feel like they are chasing something, but their target is not in the direction of our base."
"Yes, yes, yes! They even turned a corner at that time, but were later attracted by the people inside the base wall!" Lin Cheng suddenly remembered that he was on the wall more than one meter high at that time. He saw with his own eyes that the wave of zombies turned a corner, and were later attracted by the screams of other people on the wall.
"What did you say?!" Liang Jiuhui stood up after hearing this.
"Could it be that person?" Xu Shi said behind Liang Jiuhui.
Liang Jiuhui thought for a while, then remembered that the three of them still had to wait before returning, so he immediately asked Guan Hong to take out a small bag of crystal cores and hand it to Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng had no intention of accepting it. After all, protecting the base was equivalent to protecting the safety of his family and himself. However, Liang Jiuhui disagreed and insisted that the three of them accept it. In the end, Mao Zhihang took the bag of crystal cores, and Liang Jiuhui then asked someone to send the three of them back.
"Would it be bad if we picked up the phone?" Lin Tianzhen asked after seeing that the person who sent them back had already gone back.
"Have you forgotten what Xiao Jin said? It would be bad if you don't accept it," Mao Zhihang said with a smile. If Su Jin were here, he would definitely not refuse the small bag of crystal cores.
The three of them then walked back with peace of mind.
