Chapter 13
After chatting with the spirit of the weapon for a few words, Gu Qi prepared to return to the wooden house to practice.
She wanted to improve her cultivation to the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible so that she could go to Hope Base to find her brother Gu Yuan as soon as possible to prevent her brother from being deceived by Xiang Haoyu again.
After establishing his foundation, Gu Qi was able to use sword-controlling techniques.
Otherwise, without a means of transportation, she would have to rely on the Light Body Technique to travel, but her current recovery speed was not enough for long-term uninterrupted use.
Just as he arrived in front of the wooden house, Gu Qi suddenly stopped, frowned slightly and looked at the road not far outside the cave, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
A convoy stopped there.
It was already late at this time, and it would probably be dark in a while. Gu Qi was not surprised that the convoy chose to stop and rest in this plain area.
What surprised her was that there was a zombie hiding in the convoy.
A level two zombie about to be promoted to level three.
I just don’t know if the zombie was hidden by someone on purpose, or if everyone in the convoy knew about it?
As for whether the zombies were hiding in the convoy, Gu Qi first ruled out this possibility.
It is very difficult for a level 2 zombie to hide in a crowd.
First of all, its appearance is quite different from that of normal humans. Secondly, level 2 zombies don’t have the brains to do so. They tend to just rush straight ahead and pounce on living people when they see them.
What concerned Gu Qi was the condition of the second-level zombie.
She could feel that this second-level zombie was not weak, which meant that it had been eating flesh and blood. So what kind of creature's flesh and blood did it eat?
What surprised Gu Qi even more was that she saw an acquaintance in this convoy.
Wan Shiwen, a skilled chef, uh, no, she is a very powerful fire-type mutant.
The important thing is that the other party had saved her once. If he hadn't rescued her, Gu Qi would most likely have died at the hands of zombies on the first day of the apocalypse.
In her previous life, Gu Qi had thought, if she had not chosen to leave with Xiang Haoyu and others, but stayed with Wan Shiwen, would everything be different?
She would not be abandoned maliciously and eventually turned into a zombie, and her brother would not be used by Xiang Haoyu because of her death and eventually lose his life.
After Gu Qi turned into a zombie in his previous life, he tried to find out about Wan Shiwen, but found that she did not go to the Hope Base as she had said before, and no one even talked about her.
According to the abilities of Wan Shiwen and her friends, if they really went to the Hope Base, they would definitely not be unknown. However, not only had Gu Qi never heard anyone talk about Wan Shiwen, but even her friends had never heard of her either.
At first, Gu Qi thought that Wan Shiwen had changed her mind and did not go to the Hope Base, until she followed Xiang Haoyu and others to K City and encountered a zombie.
The zombie was Wan Shiwen, and she was accompanied by several friends who had also turned into zombies.
In his previous life, Gu Qi didn’t know why Wan Shiwen turned into a zombie, but now he has a rough idea of the reason.
At the same time, Gu Qi also confirmed another thing.
The second-level zombie in the convoy was deliberately hidden, and the people in the convoy were unaware of it.
In other words, any sane person would not allow anyone in a convoy to hide or raise zombies.
Gu Qi looked coldly at the car in the convoy that was hiding zombies.
Just at this moment, a tightly wrapped young man got out of the car. His eyes swept over the other people in the convoy with a dark and gloomy look. It didn't seem like he was looking at people but rather like he was selecting prey.
Soon, the young man's gaze stopped on a little girl of six or seven years old.
The young man's gaze was very subtle. If Gu Qi hadn't been staring at him, he probably wouldn't have noticed it.
At least the people in the convoy didn't notice anything wrong with him, and some even greeted him enthusiastically. Even though he looked a little gloomy and ignored them, others didn't care either, and instead showed some respect or admiration for him.
Gu Qi thought to himself: It seems that he has some reputation in this team.
This is not surprising, because this young man is a psychic, and judging from his aura, he is quite powerful.
Gu Qi walked slowly to the foot of the hill, his eyes never moving away, wanting to see what the young man was going to do after choosing his target.
Judging from the young man's skilled look, it was obvious that this was not his first time choosing prey.
So what about the prey he had chosen earlier? And where did the flesh and blood that the zombie he was hiding was fed by come from?
The answers to these questions seem obvious.
The only thing that puzzled Gu Qi was how he managed to take action without arousing suspicion from others when there were so many people watching him?
Soon she noticed something strange.
Not from the young man, but from the others in the convoy.
The people who got off the bus were all very nervous and looked down from time to time with alert and fearful eyes, as if some danger might emerge from the ground beneath their feet at any time.
underground?
A flash of inspiration came to Gu Qi's mind.
When she was investigating just now, she only noticed the situation in the convoy, especially the young man and his car, and did not notice anything unusual.
It now seems that the method that allowed the young man to obtain flesh and blood without arousing suspicion is very likely related to the underground that others are wary of.
Gu Qi extended his mental power and went underground.
When his mental power discovered something, Gu Qi couldn't help but frown.
So ugly!
Especially since her mental power was able to take in the whole picture the moment she discovered it, Gu Qi suddenly felt that she might not be able to eat tonight.
Hidden underground is a mutant earthworm.
A mutated earthworm that has grown several times larger and is almost as thick as a giant python.
Not long after Gu Qi discovered it, the mutant earthworm moved towards a certain place with a clear goal as if it had received guidance.
The giant mutant earthworm looked even uglier and more ferocious as it twisted. Gu Qi frowned and threw out the spell in his hand that was ready to be used.
The hideous and ugly mutant earthworms suddenly emerged from the ground, and the crowd suddenly panicked.
Some people screamed in fear, some turned and ran, and some rushed forward, brandishing their tightly grasped weapons, intending to strike a blow at the man-eating monster...
The psychics in the convoy also attacked the mutant earthworms. Fireballs, metal blades, earth spikes... all kinds of psychic lights lit up in the crowd.
It's a pity that the supernatural attacks either failed to cause any damage to it, or the slight damage was not enough to affect its movements, or even slow it down a little. It seemed that the mutant earthworm had no sense of pain.
Seeing the mutant earthworm rushing towards the little girl who fell to the ground, many people's eyes turned red and turned away, unable to bear to watch any longer.
A woman who was a few steps away from the girl rushed forward, without any trace of the fear she had just felt when she saw the mutant earthworm appear and was unable to move. She stood between the girl and the mutant earthworm.
The young man standing in the distance couldn't help but frown when he saw this. How disgusting! Yaoyao doesn't like to eat the meat of this kind of person.
The tragedy was about to happen, but no one noticed that a pale hand emerged from under the car behind the young man, with gray-black and sharp nails.
Change happens in an instant.
The woman closed her eyes tightly, shielding her daughter tightly, waiting for death to come.
But how come it has been quite a while and she still hasn't felt the pain of being swallowed?
"Bang!"
Something hit the ground with a dull thud.
That unpleasant smell mixed with earthy and rotten smells seems to be a little farther away?
The woman, who had not felt any pain for a long time, turned around in a daze and looked. After seeing the situation clearly, the woman's eyes, still filled with fear, shed tears of survival.
It’s great that I survived!
The hideous and ugly monster fell to the ground without a breath, and a foul-smelling sticky liquid flowed out from the bowl-sized wound on its body. A thumb-sized yellow crystal core could be faintly seen mixed in it.
