Ji Yingying's activation of her special abilities was like a shot of adrenaline for all the team members, telling them that Tao Rui's method was feasible!
Everyone congratulated Ji Yingying and then practiced more diligently.
If before I just had some lucky thoughts, now I have real expectations.
Tao Rui pretended to be extremely interested in studying spiritual energy and also discovered how to use fire and gold abilities. This added many more elements to their existing methods.
For example, a small flame can be turned into a thin thread of fire, so that the area of ignition or burning can be greatly expanded; for example, a small flame can be compressed into a tiny point, so the temperature of this point will be very high and can directly penetrate the zombie's head.
For example, by transforming into many golden needles, you can imitate the rain of pear blossom needles. If you control it well, you can even make each needle pierce a zombie's head.
Tao Rui gave Ji Yingying and Fan Qi many examples, all of which were about changing supernatural forms, the most basic and simple transformations.
After patiently pondering, they quickly learned it. After that, they continued to practice casting spells, familiarizing themselves with the use of various transformations, finding the most comfortable state, the most convenient movements, and so on.
After a few more days of practice, Xia Lin suddenly brought Zhou Yangyang to see Tao Rui and said excitedly, "Doctor Tao, look at Yangyang! He just felt the spiritual energy in the air too! It's white!"
Zhou Yangyang nodded excitedly, "It's white, pure white, only pure white!"
"Only pure white?" Tao Rui was a little surprised, and immediately brought Zhou Yangyang into the room to let him absorb spiritual energy.
Zhou Yangyang was only ten years old, innocent, and had no distracting thoughts. It was easier for her to practice than for others. She could feel the spiritual energy around her just after sitting down for a few minutes.
Tao Rui observed from the side, put one hand on Zhou Yangyang and felt it silently for a while, then he figured it out.
Zhou Yangyang originally had mixed spiritual roots mainly in the water element, but probably because this world is a little different from the world of cultivation, after Zhou Yangyang used his skills, his spiritual roots actually mutated and mutated into ice-element spiritual roots!
In other words, from now on Zhou Yangyang only has one spiritual root, and his cultivation speed is several times faster than that of people with mixed spiritual roots.
This was great news. A child like this could survive longer in the apocalypse if they grew stronger. Tao Rui happily rubbed Zhou Yangyang's head. "Congratulations, little warrior! You'll be an ice-type psychic in the future. That's amazing!"
Zhou Yangyang jumped up happily and immediately hugged Xia Lin, saying, "Mom, mom, I have superpowers now. I can protect you!"
"Yes, yes, Yangyang will become very powerful in the future. That's great, that's great..." Xia Lin hugged her son tightly and cried with joy.
Zhou Yangyang also started to sob. He had been terrified since the apocalypse began. His father was dead, and his mother desperately killed zombies every day just to keep him alive. Everyone treated him like a burden, and even his mother disliked him. His mother always gave him food and went hungry herself.
He finally has superpowers now, and they're ice-related. Uncle Tao said they're amazing. He can protect his mother from now on and won't be a burden anymore!
Others also gathered around and were moved to see the mother and son like this.
Aren't they the same? Like Zhou Yangyang, they don't want to burden their loved ones, and like Xia Lin, they are happy that their loved ones have superpowers.
The addition of a superpowered person to the team boosted morale. Although the remaining three elderly people and Charlene didn't have their superpowers activated, their physical strength had increased significantly.
Charlene specially demonstrated it to everyone. She asked everyone to go outside the hotel, held a long knife in her hand, and cut off a zombie's head with one swing!
Lei Xiao gave a thumbs-up and praised, "Xia Lin is amazing! Much better than before."
Xia Lin smiled at everyone and said, "Grandpa Lei taught me well. And Grandpa Lei's knife is the sharpest knife I have ever seen."
Tao Yuanfeng raised an eyebrow in surprise and jokingly said, "Old Lei, you're quite capable. I didn't expect the sword techniques you've figured out are quite good. It's not in vain that you collected all those swords."
Lei Xiao rubbed his slightly protruding belly and laughed heartily: "I love swords and knives the most in my life. If the world wasn't in such chaos now, I would still watch videos and look for secret manuals to study every day."
Everyone laughed. Tao Rui looked at Lei Xiao and Xia Lin, and thought about how they had been practicing swordsmanship when they were not practicing these days. They were the best at using those weapons, and an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
He said, "Actually, as long as we can practice and absorb spiritual energy, even if we don't have abilities like gold, wood, water, fire, or earth, we can still have others. For example, water-based abilities involve mobilizing the spiritual energy in our bodies to act on water. If we apply that spiritual energy to weapons and moves, we can become just as powerful."
Zhou Yangyang quickly answered, "It's a sword cultivator! Uncle, can my mom become a sword cultivator? Sword cultivators are also very handsome and powerful. There are also alchemy cultivators, medical cultivators, weapon refiners, and oh, there are also corpse cultivators. Although corpse refiners are quite evil, maybe if they can master it, they can control zombies, right?"
"That's right." Tao Rui hugged Zhou Yangyang and smiled, "Your novel wasn't read in vain. Just like Yangyang said, think about it, the cultivators on TV aren't just capable of losing their temper or anger; many of them fight with weapons. Even if they don't fight, their cultivation has improved, so they can withstand more attacks than ordinary people, and their lifespan can be extended, right?"
A few of them looked at each other, recalled the fantasy drama, and suddenly showed expressions of surprise.
"Is it still possible?"
"That seems to be the case."
"Then you can focus on improving your cultivation first. As for any special abilities you may have, you can try to develop them all."
Lei Xiao patted Tao Rui's arm and laughed, "That's great! Rui, give me my sword. I want to be a sword cultivator, and that's what I love to practice. To be honest, I really don't like getting angry or upset. I can't accept that, old man. It feels like those cartoons."
Everyone was amused by him. Tao Rui found his best sword and gave it to him, and Xia Lin also changed her sword.
Tao Rui saw that Lei Xiao really knew some good moves. It must be because he had been a soldier and understood the weaknesses of the human body. He also really liked sword dancing and combined sword moves with practical experience.
He did not raise any opinions in this regard for the time being, but simply found a superior sword technique and taught it to them. On the surface, it was just a change in the flow of spiritual power.
Tao Rui patiently introduced Tao Yuanfeng and Xie Qiulan to several cultivation methods. He discovered Xie Qiulan's preference for alchemy, while Tao Yuanfeng's for weapon forging. He then found a powerful defensive technique for them to practice. Since then, each of them has found a technique that best suits them, and their effectiveness has steadily improved.
Two days later, Tao Yuanfeng and Xie Qiulan each demonstrated their physical prowess to Tao Rui, while Lei Xiao also demonstrated his swordsmanship. All three of them had become much stronger, their strength and agility increased, and they all expressed that they no longer needed to stay here for them, and that the team could continue on their journey.
They had been staying in the hotel for half a month. Tao Rui thought about it and decided to leave.
In order to facilitate communication among everyone in one car, Tao Rui went to each room to collect a bunch of car keys, and then went to the parking lot to choose a car.
He chose two high-end business cars to drive alternately. One had three seats facing forward and three facing backward, with a small table in the middle where six people could eat or play cards; the other had three rows of seats in the back, which were very soft and comfortable, with ample space and adjustable angles for half-lying rest.
This also avoids the problem of having two drivers driving two cars and being tired, and it would be inconvenient to discuss anything if something happens.
After choosing a car, Tao Rui left the original car in the garage, left the remaining car keys in the garage, and drove away.
Xiao Lin was standing by the window, chewing on a compressed biscuit. He saw a commercial vehicle appear on the road outside. The driver was Tao Rui. He hurriedly said, "They're out! Quick, go to their room and see if there's anything."
A group of people immediately went to the front desk to get door cards and broke into the six rooms where Tao Rui and his friends had stayed to prepare for a carpet search.
But when they opened the door, they were stunned. The room was clean and there was nothing in it except the hotel facilities. Tao Rui and the others had left!
Brother Dong exclaimed in surprise: "Hurry, follow them, they must be going to the base."
"Right, right, right. If we follow them, we might reach the base soon."
They hurriedly jumped into the car to chase after people. They couldn't see Tao Rui's car, so they just drove quickly towards the base. However, they drove three blocks without seeing any car, but the number of zombies was increasing.
Most of the people in their team started to get scared. Without support, they didn't dare to run around. They had no choice but to go back to the hotel. Suddenly, they felt that the future was hopeless.
Tao Rui didn't let them see him because he didn't go to the base at all. He went to the airport.
Everyone was looking forward to going to the fish farm. Zhou Yangyang said eagerly, "When we get there, there will be fish to eat, right? I used to dislike fish because it was too troublesome to pick out the bones, but now I'm really craving it."
Everyone laughed, and Tao Rui said, "If there really are fish in the fishery, uncle will teach you how to catch them, okay?"
Zhou Yangyang's eyes lit up, "Great! I've never caught a fish before!"
Ji Yingying said a little worriedly, "What if the place has been occupied? Or what if the original owner is still there and refuses to sell fish to us?"
Tao Rui shook his head and said, "No, although money is useless in the end times, food is hard currency. The fish farm has the most fish, and no matter who is there, it is impossible to eat fish every day. We can exchange rice and flour, and they will definitely be willing. But we have to be on guard against bad guys who are planning to attack us, so everyone should be careful."
Everyone nodded cautiously. Fan Qi said, "Each of us should carry a backpack and put some of the things other survivors would put in it. Don't expose the space easily."
"That's right, Xiao Rui, you were really too careless before. You should have hidden your space a little better. What if you were caught by a villain who is more powerful than us?" Xie Qiulan patted her chest, feeling scared at the thought. "Fortunately, none of us are bad guys. We are all family."
Tao Rui smiled, "I just knew that everyone was our own talent, so I didn't hide anything. After all, we are a team, so we should be honest with each other. I won't be careless with outsiders."
He was used to being cautious and careful, so of course he wouldn't make such a low-level mistake. However, he was currently on a relatively low-risk mission, and these people were his targets. He couldn't keep it a secret from them forever, so he might as well be honest from the beginning.
Besides, he has life-saving artifacts and various means, so he will not be afraid when facing these people and these things.
Tao Rui's treatment of them was truly sincere, and everyone here could sense it. Because of this, their team had gradually developed a sense of team spirit, and all of them obeyed Tao Rui's leadership, even the newcomer Fan Qi was willing to be his subordinate.
It is indeed comfortable to get along with such a group. For example, they are driving on the road now, and they are not worried or afraid, alert or on guard, nor do they have their own little thoughts. Instead, they are like a family, young and old, going out for an outing, and laughter can be heard from time to time.
Of course, in addition to joking, they will also seize the time to practice, especially those who have super powers, who always practice changing their super powers.
Xia Lin saw small ice cones emerging from Zhou Yangyang's palm next to her, and then turning into ice balls and many small ice balls. She couldn't help but smile, and then she carefully observed the two sides of the road, and wrote down on paper what stores she had seen along the way and how the zombies were distributed. Maybe when they wanted something in the future, they could come and find it.
With the car window open, Tao Rui saw flames, ice cones, and golden needles in the rearview mirror. He also saw three elderly men practicing with their eyes closed. Suddenly, he felt something was amiss. How had they all become cultivation maniacs? Some were even more devoted to cultivation than he was. Was this turning an apocalypse dungeon into an immortal cultivation dungeon?
Fortunately, the apocalyptic theme is too strong, so this cannot be changed.
When they arrived at the fishing grounds, they saw nearly a hundred zombies wandering there and immediately felt the pressure from the end of the world.
Fan Qi suddenly pointed to a small second floor in the distance and said, "Look over there, there's a flash on the window, there's someone here."
"It seems to be a distress signal." Tao Rui released his spiritual sense, covering the entire fishing ground. He discovered that there were more than 20 people hiding in the small second floor.
There were a lot of zombies outside. There was a small courtyard on the second floor, surrounded by railings. If the people inside the building didn't make much noise, the zombies wouldn't crowd into the courtyard. But the people inside the small building couldn't get out either.
Tao Rui parked the car outside the gate, climbed onto the roof, looked through the binoculars, and said, "There are six or seven people lying in front of the two windows over there, waving at us for help... They have two pieces of paper with 'Help' written on them."
Fan Qi observed his surroundings and frowned. "There are too many zombies, all blocking the way in. We can't get through unscathed. We can only go around the outer fence to the back to take a look."
"Okay, the car is too noisy, let's walk over." Tao Rui asked several people to get out of the car and put it into the space. Then he asked everyone to put on black raincoats, put on masks and glasses, and take weapons.
Xia Lin had been carefully observing the group of zombies. Suddenly, she paused, took a closer look, and said in astonishment, "Two of the zombies have superpowers. They, they swallowed the crystal core!"
They looked over and saw two zombies digging for crystal cores. They didn't seem to know how to kill other zombies to get the cores, but when a few zombies fell and were trampled, a corner of the core was exposed, which they sensed.
After the two of them swallowed the crystal core, one of them suddenly became soaked and water came out of it, and the other one suddenly stretched out his hand, and the grass on the ground grew much taller.
Obviously, they are water-related and wood-related abilities.
Zhou Yangyang covered her mouth in surprise and whispered, "Zombies also have superpowers? Wouldn't that make them even harder to deal with?"
Tao Rui said, "The red crystal core I helped Yingying absorb was from a level two zombie. That zombie had fire abilities. I also encountered a zombie with agility abilities. Level two zombies are relatively rare right now, and they don't have high IQ. They're just faster and more powerful than level one zombies."
When Ji Yingying activated her superpowers, everyone was so absorbed in it that they didn't even notice the red crystal core Tao Rui had used on her. Now that they saw zombies could level up, everyone felt a bit heavy-hearted.
If only humans could have superpowers and upgrade themselves, these zombies would be wiped out sooner or later.
But if the zombies gradually become more powerful, this task would become much more difficult. After all, being bitten or scratched by a zombie will turn you into a zombie. Injuring a zombie doesn't necessarily kill it. Furthermore, humans instinctively become nervous and fearful when facing zombies, but zombies are fearless.
Tao Yuanfeng sighed, "Let's not talk about this anymore. What should we do now?"
Lei Xiao patted Tao Rui and said, "Water and Wood, aren't they the same as your abilities? Take their crystal cores first."
Tao Rui nodded. He had been practicing for half a month and was almost reaching the second level of the Qi Refining Stage. His cultivation had improved a lot, so he could directly control two branches to extend over such a long distance.
Fan Qi said from the side: "I will cooperate with you."
When the branches reached the zombies, Fan Qi immediately swung out two thin blades and cut off the upper half of the heads of the two zombies!
Tao Rui's branch instantly rolled up the two crystal cores and took them back. He rinsed them with water and stored them in the space.
"Done, let's go!" Tao Rui chose a direction and led everyone around the wall.
Fan Qi conjured up many small metal balls, and threw one out from time to time to hit the metal railing of the gate on the other side, making noise.
Seeing this, Zhou Yangyang immediately followed suit and conjured up many small ice balls and threw them out.
With supernatural control, these small balls could hit wherever they wanted. The zombies gradually gathered to the other side, ignoring Tao Rui and the others.
Tao Rui and his companions tried not to make any noise and carefully took a detour. They encountered a few scattered zombies halfway through. This time, Tao Rui didn't handle it himself, but asked his teammates to try.
Ji Yingying and Xia Lin had killed several zombies before, and Lei Xiao had been to the battlefield when he was young, so they were not that nervous.
Ji Yingying threw out a fireball that was compressed to a very small size. It went directly into the zombie's eye socket and exploded in the zombie's head, killing one instantly!
Lei Xiao's face was solemn, completely different from his usual cheerful look. He looked a bit like a soldier, and his sword moves were extremely skillful. With two moves, he split a zombie's head in half, and with another move, he pierced another zombie.
Charlene's movements were remarkably similar to his, and the two of them attacked together, looking somewhat like master and disciple. With the spiritual power, their swords were much more powerful, making it effortless to kill ordinary zombies.
Seeing this, Tao Rui raised his lip corners slightly and helped them rinse the crystal core. After they picked up the crystal core, he led them forward again.
There are also quite a few zombies behind the small building, but far fewer than in front, about twenty or so.
Tao Rui said, "How about using these to practice? It will make it safer when we go in."
"No problem." Several people nodded and stared at the zombies, ready for battle.
The entire outer wall was covered with metal railings, including the back door. Fan Qi raised his hand, and the metal lock on it immediately fell to the ground, and the back door opened.
The zombies rushed out one after another, and Tao Rui and Fan Qi immediately stood beside them to escort them.
Ji Yingying released a thicker line of fire, which went straight through the eyes of the two zombies in front and behind, and then made the line of fire thicker, killing the two zombies instantly.
She was good at long-range attacks, so she always stayed away from the zombies, attacking very carefully and quickly, trying to kill a zombie with every strike, while also taking the time to pay attention to the safety of others.
Lei Xiao was not afraid of fighting in his heart. He was too old to fight, but after practicing sword skills, his physical fitness improved several levels. He seemed to be twenty years younger. He was not afraid of zombies at all, and his moves were powerful and heroic.
Zhou Yangyang stood behind the fighting Xia Lin. When she saw the zombie coming, she used her supernatural power to freeze the zombie's feet, causing the zombie to fall to the ground. Then, while the zombie was unable to move, she pierced two ice spikes into the zombie's eye sockets to ensure the zombie's death.
If he saw two zombies approaching Xia Lin at the same time, he would help Xia Lin freeze one of them. Although his ability was not strong enough to freeze the entire zombie, he could still freeze only its feet. He was very smart and practical.
Later, he was the one who froze the zombie's feet, and his mother stabbed the zombie with a sword. The mother and son cooperated very well.
Tao Yuanfeng and Xie Qiulan also joined the battle. Their fighting ability was a little weaker, but they had been practicing day and night for half a month, and the spiritual energy they absorbed was not in vain.
Tao Yuanfeng smashed with a pair of sledgehammers, while Xie Qiulan hacked with two swords. They could kill a zombie in just three or five strokes, almost as skilled as Da Zhuang and Dong from the supermarket team. They were the equivalent of ordinary thugs. For two seventy-year-old men, what could be more powerful than this?
All the people on the second floor gathered at the back window of the second floor and were dumbfounded when they saw their fight.
A short man suddenly shuddered and said with regret, "Was it a mistake to let them in? What if they are bad people? Wouldn't we all be doomed?"
More than twenty people fell silent, and then a muscular man shouted, "Stop talking nonsense. We have water-type psychics, fire-type psychics, and strength-type psychics. What's the difference? Look, they can only fight, right? The only psychics are fire and ice."
They didn't see Fan Qi open the door, and when they saw that Tao Rui and Fan Qi didn't take action, they thought they were incapable of fighting.
With that calculation, they had three psychics, so they had the advantage in numbers. Seeing that Tao Rui and his men had almost killed all the zombies, the muscular man said hurriedly, "Everyone, grab your weapons. When you act like you're going to act impressively, no one is afraid of them. Understand? If anyone lets you down, hmph."
Many people trembled and lowered their heads in fear. Even those who were dissatisfied lowered their heads and said nothing, and went to get their weapons.
The small second floor is quite large. There are more than a dozen rooms upstairs like a hotel, and a kitchen, restaurant, KTV and chess and card room downstairs.
Most of their weapons were taken from the kitchen, various knives and rolling pins. If that wasn't enough, some people brought iron mops and steel clothes hangers, and the muscular man who was obviously the leader was holding the most standard weapon here - a fire axe.
They all ran downstairs and stood guard at the door, weapons tightly gripped in their hands.
Tao Rui had already noticed their movements with his spiritual sense. When Fan Qi was about to use his supernatural power to open the door, he stopped him and knocked on the door. "Hello, there are no zombies behind the house, and no one is injured. Can you come in now?"
Everyone inside the door looked at the muscular man. The muscular man winked at the short man, who immediately opened the door nervously. "Can you, can you take off your hats and show your faces?"
Tao Rui asked in confusion, "Why?" He looked at the weapons in their hands and said, "If I saw correctly, you are calling for help."
Tao Rui made way for the doorway and pointed to the open back door, saying, "There are no zombies back there now. We just came around from the west. Even if there were zombies on that road, there would only be one or two at most. You've been rescued, so you can escape now."
Everyone was stunned. They had never expected him to say that. If you rescue someone, shouldn't you first give them food, check if they're injured, and then take them with you? Now you're just going to open the door and let them go?
Ji Yingying stood next to Tao Rui and asked, "Is there a problem? Don't you want to escape?"
"...Yes, what about you? Aren't you leaving? Can we follow you?" A young girl raised her head and asked courageously.
The muscular man pulled her hard and scolded her, "Shut up! Did I ask you to speak?"
The girl lowered her head, and Tao Rui saw that she was gritting her teeth, her hand holding the knife so tightly that it turned white. He almost thought she was going to stab the muscular man with the knife. It seemed that there was something going on here.
The muscular man looked at Tao Rui and the others, and said with a forced smile, "This is my place. It's in the middle of nowhere. I wonder what you are doing here?"
Tao Rui took a look at his physique and, to be honest, didn't quite believe him. He thought he was more like a fitness coach. But you can't judge a book by its cover. Maybe he just wants to run a fish farm?
Tao Rui said calmly, "We're out of food. We knew there was a fishery here, so we came here looking for food. We didn't expect there to be so many zombies. I thought there might only be a few zombies in the fishery, but I was wrong. But since we're here, we still want to give it a try. If you're the boss, could you sell us some fish or other food?"
"Sell?" The muscular man sneered, "Money is worthless these days. What are you going to buy it with?"
Ji Yingying took off her backpack and pulled out a handful of crystal cores, about ten in total. She said, "Let's trade them. Crystal cores are very important to people with special abilities, but ordinary people can also use them as currency to exchange for things." She asked tentatively, "Do you have any special abilities?"
"Of course," the muscular man boasted. "Among the twenty or so of us, five are psychics. You can trade your crystal cores for food, but the food isn't in this building. It's two hundred meters to the east. If you want to get there, you'll have to go through that group of zombies."
You saw it just now, there were probably hundreds of zombies.
In this way, we cooperate, I will charge you fewer crystal cores, and you can share half of the food you get with us.
If you escort us to a safe base, all the food here will be given to you as compensation."
Quite greedy.
While Tao Rui was speaking, his spiritual sense had already swept through the small building and found the business license. The photo on it was of a woman, not the muscular man in front of him.
Tao Rui spread his hands and said, "If that's the case, then forget it. We came here thinking there wouldn't be many zombies. And there's not much food here. It's not worth the risk. Escorting is even more ridiculous. Do you know how expensive it is to escort one person these days? There are so many of you, haha."
The muscular man stepped forward and said, "Then just escort me and take all the food here."
A young man wearing glasses said anxiously, "I have water-related abilities. There are many places without water now. I'm very useful. Take me with you."
There was also a very fat middle-aged man who squeezed forward and said, "I, I have fire-type abilities. Take me with you. I'm very powerful."
The muscular man's face darkened. He picked them up like chickens and threw them to the back. "Did I let you talk? Get out of here!"
He was clearly a power user, already at level 2. The other two's powers were relatively weak, and they didn't dare to confront him. It was just that the muscle man didn't dare go out and kill the zombies either.
Tao Rui and his teammates said, "Let's go! The people here are too whimsical. It's already three in the afternoon. Let's find another place to rest before dark."
As they talked, they walked out, and no one raised any objections. This made the muscular man very anxious.
He walked out the door and saw those disgusting zombies with bloody heads. He couldn't help but feel nauseous. He suppressed the discomfort and chased after them, changing his tone and saying, "We always ask for a high price and pay it back on the spot. How can we just leave without saying anything? Well, it's getting dark. You two should rest here today and we can discuss this matter properly."
Tao Rui seemed to think about it for a moment before nodding. "Okay, you're exhausted from killing so many zombies just now. Take a night's rest. Consider this our reward for helping you clean up the zombies in your backyard."
They entered the small building and took off their hats and masks. Everyone exclaimed, "Ji Yingying?!!"
"This, this seems to be Ji Yingying's boyfriend Tao Rui, a doctor. I've seen their show."
"She's really a big star. I remember her shoes. She's the one who used the fire power just now. Amazing!"
The muscular man was also taken aback. Seeing Ji Yingying still as clean and beautiful as on TV, greed flashed in his eyes. Although he quickly concealed it, Tao Rui still noticed it. The little girl holding the knife also noticed it and quietly hid at the edge.
The muscular man showed some enthusiasm. He took them upstairs to see the rooms and allocated two rooms to them. He also lifted a heavy table and placed it against the wall. He smiled at Ji Yingying and said, "This table is in the way. It will be much better if you put it over here. I'm a strength user, level two, and I'll soon break through to level three."
This is just nonsense. The higher you go, the harder it is to break through. Fan Qi is only at level two, and he often kills zombies to practice, but he hasn't even reached level three.
Ji Yingying stood next to Tao Rui, disliking the way the muscular man looked at her. She said coldly, "We can handle it ourselves. We want to take a break now. Please leave."
They got the room by clearing out the zombies and saving them. Even if the muscular man is the boss, there is no need to be polite, not to mention that he is a pervert.
The muscular man's expression changed, and he looked at Ji Yingying with an obviously unfriendly look. However, he was concerned about their ability to kill zombies, so he suppressed his anger and slammed the door and left.
Tao Rui and the others entered the room and found that the people were crowded near the door when they closed it. The expressions in their eyes were very complicated, and he couldn't explain it. It seemed that they hoped to be rescued, but also seemed to be a little scared.
After closing the door, Lei Xiao whispered, "There's something strange about that boss. No one else dares to speak. I suspect they've all been threatened by him."
Lei Xiao was very sensitive to this kind of thing, and his face was already filled with displeasure at this moment.
Xie Qiulan nodded and said, "They look very haggard. They must have had a hard time. If they've been trapped here since the end of the world, they probably have almost nothing to eat."
Xia Lin sat aside with a frown on her face. Ji Yingying nudged her and asked, "Sister Lin, what are you thinking about? Why do you look so grim?"
Xia Lin glanced at Zhou Yangyang, thought for a moment, and then decided not to tell him to leave. She hesitated and said, "Did you notice just now? Of the twenty-six people here, eighteen are women, all beautiful women in their teens and twenties. I just saw three of them with their heads down, their faces showing signs of having been slapped. One... had a hickey on her neck, the skin was broken, but her face was numb, as if she was heartbroken. She didn't look like she had a boyfriend."
Everyone except Zhou Yangyang guessed what was going on. Seeing the muscular man's lustful and aggressive demeanor, perhaps many women here had been taken advantage of by him. This was disgusting! Xie Qiulan said with a pale face, "Observe for a while and find a chance to ask those women. If that man is really a scum, we must get him out anyway."
Tao Rui frowned and said, "Think about it, why are there more women than men? Did those men turn into zombies themselves? Think about the zombies we killed in the backyard just now. Weren't most of them men?"
Lei Xiao hammered the bed. "Damn it! It's true! If you push a man out the back door, doesn't that mean he's pushed into the backyard?"
Tao Rui stood at the window and looked at the large number of zombies outside. He said, "Let's stay here for one night and see what happens. Everyone is tired, let's take a break."
Lei Xiao took out the crystal core he had just dug and said with a fierce face, "I want to practice. Kill that bastard!"
Tao Yuanfeng sighed, "The biggest test in this end times is the human heart. The human heart is more terrifying than zombies." He also took out the crystal core and began to absorb it.
Several people had the same idea. When they saw such disgusting bad guys, they wanted to work hard to become stronger so that they could lend a hand when they could save people, instead of having to watch the bad guys do evil and be unable to help.
Tao Rui looked at them all sitting on the ground and starting to practice, and shook his head helplessly. They might as well be called the Practice Maniacs Team.
He set up a spirit gathering array around them, then took out a bunch of crystal cores and distributed them to them so that they could absorb more spiritual power.
He used his spiritual sense to monitor the movements of the people in the small building. After those who looked not very kind returned to the house, he opened the door and walked out.
A woman saw him and asked nervously, "Are you looking for Brother Li?"
Tao Rui asked, "Who is Brother Li?"
"It's the power user Li Hao."
"Oh, so his name is Li Hao." Tao Rui shook his head. "I'm not looking for him. I want to go to the first floor for a tour. Is that okay? I have nothing to do anyway. I haven't been to this fishery yet."
"...Okay." The woman became even more nervous, as if she was afraid that Tao Rui would do something to her. She stepped back and looked at the water-based mutant.
The young man immediately came over and said, "Hello, can I take you there?"
"Of course, thank you for your help." Tao Rui smiled and said kindly.
The young man was obviously relieved and took Tao Rui downstairs. The little girl who had been holding the knife tightly looked at them and followed them downstairs silently.
