Chapter 166: Survivors of Wenhan City
Li Zhen'er remained silent. Her friend hurriedly pulled her to a deserted corner and said, "That Pu Zhi is our benefactor. Otherwise, Shang Xi would have killed so many people. You'd better give up your unrealistic idea.
We're lucky to have such a powerful figure protecting us in the apocalypse. She cleared three-quarters of Xiangbei Province's cities in just six days. You wouldn't be able to catch up even if you were reborn. We just need to do our own thing honestly."
However, Li Zhen'er still had that deathly look on her face, which made her friend so angry that he pushed her away and said, "If you continue like this, we'll break up. Pu Zhi is now a member of the base. If you dare to make a move, you'll be an enemy of the base. You don't want to live anymore, but I do!"
After saying that, the friend turned around and left. Li Zhener was really hopeless because she had always been resentful of Pu Zhi for not saving her and letting her into the base.
If Li Zhen'er hadn't helped me, I wouldn't be with someone like this who's full of resentment. She brings it up several times a day! It really makes her so angry!
Li Zhen'er's thoughts were turning around in her mind. She couldn't beat Pu Zhi, but she dared to expose herself so blatantly. There must be many people who would take action. She might be able to take advantage of the opportunity.
Thinking of this, she walked back to the room she was assigned to, completely forgetting that she was teaming up with others to complete the mission.
The teammates looked at Li Zhener who had not returned for a long time, and their dissatisfaction with her suddenly reached the highest point. They were lazy and left all the work to them!
At the same time, Pu Zhi had massacred four cities. When she went to the fifth city, Wenhan City, which was also the provincial capital, she thought it would be a deserted city. However, she did not expect that there were twenty or thirty people living in a processing plant in the basement somewhere in the city, and all of them were extremely thin.
Pu Zhi moved his attack away from that place to avoid accidental injuries, and let the more gentle Qing Yin deal with the zombies in that area.
The provincial capital was too big, so it took Pu Zhi longer to clean it up. Just after half an hour, he unexpectedly met a person with special abilities hiding in a room with three other people. They were also pale and skinny, with big heads and small bodies due to hunger.
The noise Pu Zhi made was so loud that they hid inside and didn't dare to come out.
Boom boom boom——
There was a knocking sound on the glass above their heads, which scared several people.
This is the 20th floor. Who can knock on the glass at such a high place? Is it a human, a ghost, or a zombie?
They didn't even dare to raise their heads. Pu Zhi simply opened the window and looked at the four people huddled together.
The four of them were startled by the sound, but they didn't dare open their eyes. They put their hands together and muttered quickly, "Amitabha, Buddha bless you, may the bad luck go away, may the bad luck go away!"
"Where are you from?" Pu Zhi asked directly. It was a miracle that they could survive until now with such little courage.
Hearing the emotionless but warm voice, several people shuddered, opened their eyes cautiously, and were stunned to see the cold woman floating in the air.
One person lowered his head and muttered quietly, "It doesn't look like a zombie."
Another person continued: "It doesn't seem to be a ghost."
Pu Zhi was almost amused by these people: "Are you from that basement?"
When they heard the word "basement", they immediately looked at Pu Zhi vigilantly.
“I’ll finish cleaning up here quickly, and there may be some wandering zombies later.
"Bases 2 and 3 have already moved to Lian City. There's no entrance fee, and there are psychics clearing out zombies every day, and they've also developed crops that are resistant to cold and heat. You can move there; it's only a little over ten hours' walk." Pu Zhi reminded him.
The four looked at each other, as if to confirm the truthfulness of what Pu Zhi said.
But she can fly, and she almost leveled the entire city of Banwenhan. Someone so powerful shouldn't bother with insignificant characters like them...
After Pu Zhi finished speaking, he saw that the zombies around him had been cleared out by Xiao Ren and the others, and went directly to the next area to clean up.
I saw various elemental skills exploding on the ground, and the huge sound gradually covered up the zombies' roars.
As the provincial capital, Hanwen City is much larger than other cities. Pu Zhi took a full hour to complete the cleaning, and the crystal cores and blind boxes he obtained were also very considerable.
At a glance, the plant crystal core was enough for Qingyin to upgrade. Pu Zhi let it enter the space for upgrading, while he went to the basement.
As soon as I got up there, I happened to see four people who had just returned with a load of supplies. One of them trembled and said, "You, you, you followed us!"
Pu Zhi said speechlessly: "I just came to take a look." There was a person inside with a strange aura.
In the end, it was the psychic among them who mustered up the courage to take Pu Zhi down. If she was so powerful and wanted to kill them, she would have killed her long ago. There was no need to spend so much effort on these roundabout ways.
Walking through the cluttered corridor, he knocked on the door regularly. There were two responses from inside. The man knocked twice more, lightly and once hard, before the door opened.
When I opened the door, it was pitch black inside, with only a palm-sized piece of transparent glass letting in light from outside. The whole room was filled with a faint smell of mold and moss.
The old woman who opened the door was stunned by the sight of the strange woman. She was so clean, with a plump, fair face, and even a faint floral scent. It was obvious that she had lived a good life.
The old woman asked cautiously: "This is..."
Pu Zhi smiled politely: "I'm a doctor."
When the old woman heard that she was a doctor, she staggered to make way, but she almost tripped over herself. After being supported by her companion, she bent over and hurriedly said, "Please come in, please come in! Doctor, please save Xiaojiu!"
The twenty or so people left in the room were also whispering, "Save Xiaojiu!" Their voices were too soft and mixed together, like the chirping of mice, making it hard to hear clearly, or like someone talking in their sleep.
Pu Zhi paused slightly. Although it was dark here, his true eyes were not affected at all. Each of them was so thin that only bones were left. The loose clothes were made to look angular by their protruding bones.
Their feet were more like two toothpicks, barely supporting their unsteady walk, and every step seemed to be fatal.
Their big eyeballs hung in their sunken eye sockets, and only a thin layer of skin remained under their high cheekbones, forming a dark shadow. Their appearance was really unbearable to look at.
When they heard that Pu Zhi was a doctor, their eyes, which had been as expressionless as a walking corpse, suddenly lit up.
The first thing these people thought about was saving their companions, rather than thinking that if one person died, there would be one less person to compete with them for food.
She lowered her eyes and walked faster towards the person in the corner.
The four people outside were a little stunned. Wasn't he a superpower? How did he become a doctor? They hurried to catch up, fearing that Pu Zhi would hurt someone.
Pu Zhi came to a skeleton girl in the corner who was breathing out less than she was breathing in. She should be around 20 years old, but her skin was dry and loose and hung on her bones, like a woman in her seventies or eighties who would die at any time.
She heard the voice, but she didn't open her eyes. Instead, she opened her mouth firmly: "Kill... Kill me, and use my... talent to survive..."
After she finished speaking, she seemed to have completely lost her breath and never moved again.
