Chapter 233 A Group of Cannon Fodder
A total of five cars drove out of H City. Rain was washing the windows. The roadside was quiet. All the zombies nearby were gone, almost extinct.
The sky was getting darker and darker, with black smoke floating in the air. Gray raindrops would make a crisp sound when hitting anything, followed by a wisp of thin gray smoke.
Their cars can be used on both water and on the road. Even if the water is ten meters high on the street, they can inflate the water boats and float directly on the water.
Due to the continuous rainy weather, many lakes have overflowed and the roads are almost level with the water surface. It will soon be completely submerged.
Luo Yunjin leaned back in his chair and felt that this scene was very familiar!
She seemed to have sat in the car countless times, leaning back in her chair and looking at the scenery outside the window.
enmmm
In fact, there is nothing good to look at. It’s either all black or all gray.
The glass inside the car is made of double-layer vacuum noise-reducing material. It is very quiet to sit in the car, without any noise, and you feel very sleepy.
Qi Chi had modified the car in advance so that it no longer needed gasoline for power and could directly provide horsepower through the crystal core.
During lunch break, we were in a hurry and the nearby roads were flooded, so it was inconvenient to stop and cook. The only thing we could do was take turns driving, and we had to eat, drink, and go to the bathroom in the car.
Luo Yunjin carefully took out the spittoon and cat litter box from the storage box under the car seat and handed them to Pei Chuan and Qi Chi who were sitting in the back seat. "If you need to urinate or defecate, you can do it in here. I don't mind."
Pei Chuan was silent for a moment, then shamefully took the litter box and handed the spittoon back. "You should use this yourself. We can just use the litter box."
"I can solve it in the space." Luo Yunjin put the spittoon aside, then went into the space in front of the three people. When he came out, he was still in the original passenger seat.
Everyone was silent.
Quietly put away the cat litter box and spittoon.
When Lin Xi was driving, the speed was fast and steady.
Pei Chuan pursues speed more when driving, so the stability inside the car needs to be improved.
Qi Chi drove steadily and at a decent speed, but he always felt like something was missing.
The five cars in front are clearly very close, but they feel very far away.
All three of them perfectly balanced their own strengths, so the journey was relatively smooth.
The little tabby pig and the little leopard cat rarely travel far. They always lie on the window with their mouths slightly open.
"Mee mee mee! (Is that dark area the sea?)" The leopard cat wagged its tail.
"It's a lake, little bastard. Hum~" The tabby pig curled its tail, "This lake has submerged the mountains and the track. It looks like the sea. Hum~"
Because of the haze, the boundary of the lake could not be seen clearly, so the two sides of the road looked like an endless black sea, with ripples caused by raindrops hitting the water surface.
Their lunch was spicy instant noodles. Luo Yunjin cooked three pots in a small rice cooker in the car, adding ham slices, luncheon meat and fish fillets.
And a glass of apple juice after the meal to help digestion.
Cats are not picky eaters. The leopard cat squatted beside and nibbled noodles obediently. It was not yet proficient in eating, so it ate in a gnawing posture and made a "hmm" sound in its throat.
The tabby pig skillfully used its own trotter to hold the small fork and pick up noodles to eat.
There was a fragrant smell inside the SUV.
The other five cars were not so leisurely.
Because the water has flooded the road surface, many cars have fallen into disrepair and water enters the cars from time to time. A group of psychics are busy repairing them and have no time to eat.
In addition, this trip was mainly to negotiate with the central base, and there was a chance of launching a war, so they all brought supplies that were easy to store.
For example, compressed biscuits, compressed dried fruits, and compressed lunch boxes.
It was tasteless and my mouth was dry after eating, so I drank a glass of water condensed by a water-based mutant.
But not every car has a water-based mutant, which results in everyone in the car being hungry.
"Hurry up, go to the car in front and ask for some water, because there is a water-based mutant in the team, and no one brought water with them this time!" In the car in front of the off-road vehicle, cannon fodder mutant A found that he wanted to drink water no matter what he ate. The car was too stuffy, and the air conditioner was not turned on to save gasoline.
"No, water is still seeping in from under our car. It's too dangerous. Someone needs to watch over the repair. Just shout into the intercom and ask the water-based psychic in front to release a water ball over." Cannon fodder Psychic B kept scratching his head, concentrating on condensing metal pieces to repair the water holes that appeared under the car.
When cannon fodder mutant A asked for water through the intercom, everyone on the other end of the intercom could hear it.
Luo Yunjin also learned that the five vehicles ahead had varying degrees of water and rain leakage, and were short of supplies.
She asked Lin Xi to drive faster and parallel to the car in front, then opened the car window a little, "Hey, I have some fruit for you. Open the window wider!"
Upon hearing Luo Yunjin's voice, the car opened a door directly.
Worried that they would get wet in the rain, Luo Yunjin just stuffed a large bag of fruit in their bag and threw it over.
The door on the other side closed quickly.
"There are so many fruits. Didn't they say that the orchard had been burned down by the people from the central base?" Cannon fodder mutant B opened the bag and found that it was filled with many apples, pears and oranges.
Each fruit is of premium quality, good appearance and rich in juice.
"Maybe there is still stock. This girl is really nice. As soon as she heard that we needed supplies, she sent so many fruits." Cannon fodder Psychic C sighed.
"These fresh fruits are much more delicious than those dry dried fruits. They are dry and sour, and make you thirstier." Cannon fodder mutant Ding dislikes compressed dried fruits very much.
Luo Yunjin asked Lin Xi to overtake and distributed a large bag of fruit to each car.
"Keep it for yourself and don't give it to them. They just need to drink water, sir, why eat fruit?" Luo Yuanting said to the girl on the walkie-talkie.
"Eating sweet fruits can keep you in a good mood. Don't worry, I have plenty of fruits."
Luo Yuanting didn't say anything else. Everyone in the car shrank their necks, not daring to look at the bag of fruit on the table.
"Eat." Luo Yuanting put down the walkie-talkie and said softly.
Only then did someone stretch out his little paw and touch the orange.
The others also bravely shared the entire bag of fruit.
The psychics in the same carriage with Luo, the sister-loving maniac Yuan Ting, all pay close attention to the mood of their commander. They all think that the commander is in a good mood now.
The younger brother sitting by the window respectfully handed over a washed apple.
The man delicately took out a knife from his waist, cut the apple into six pieces, took one for himself, and distributed the rest.
The red ripe apples are sweet and delicious, and very juicy.
During this period, all the fruits planted in Luo Yunjin's space have matured.
The mutated orange trees in the space will be responsible for picking the ripe fruits and placing them in a temporary cellar. These fruits can be stored at low temperatures to make wine and juice.
In the afternoon, it got dark early. The originally calm lake was stirred up by the wind and rain, and the water on the road piled up so high that it exceeded the wheels of the cars.
All vehicles have activated their water boats. The yellow inflatable rafts rely on engines to provide energy on the water, and their speed is much slower than that on land.
The off-road vehicle modified by Qi Chi showed its unique advantages at this time, and it could still travel quickly on the water.
The vehicle slid on the water at a snail's pace, and from time to time one or two zombies popped their heads out of the lake.
These zombies can swim and will not attack living people. They stare at the vehicle curiously as it goes away, and then catch the strange fish in the lake.
As the car drove further and further away from H City, there were more and more zombies and mutant animals in the water.
From afar, many black heads emerged from the water.
Trypophobia.
"Fuck!"
"These zombies are all black!"
"These mutant fish are very ferocious. I didn't expect them to become food for zombies. Will zombies stop eating humans after eating the mutant fish?"
…
The scene is spectacular.
Luo Yunjin silently drew the curtains.
"These are all low-level zombies, but their shapes are a bit unique." Qi Chi found that the faces of these zombies could not be seen clearly, and all the facial features were soaked in water and rotten.
"Can these mutant fish be eaten?" the tiger-striped pig grunted, with a hint of disgust in its eyes. The black rotten fish made him unappetizing even through the window glass.
"No, they're all contaminated by rainwater." Luo Yunjin flicked the tiger-striped pig's head. "Eat these fish, and we can enjoy your feast."
Tabby Pig: ???
The central base is located in the west of City A and is naturally divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower.
The top floor is suspended above the ground, which is also protected from being flooded by rainwater. It is the main living area.
The middle mezzanine is above the ground and is the material production area. Survivors will participate in material production work here, and it is the main working area.
The bottom layer is the energy supply area.
The energy of the entire central base comes from the decomposition of crystal cores and the shock waves formed by the crushing of garbage.
Because the air underground is thin but the area is vast, many wandering mutants who cannot live on the upper level choose to live on the lower level, thus forming a large residential area here.
There is a virtual transparent light screen outside the central base. All raindrops falling on the light screen will continuously decompose into splashing raindrops.
"Is this the legendary central base?" Luo Yunjin looked up and saw a high-tech building above him, supported by hundreds of stone pillars. "It's different from what I imagined."
"This light screen is maintained by five light-type psychics around the clock, capable of blocking all dark matter," the psychic in the next car muttered. "I've only heard of it before, but seeing it in person is truly extraordinary."
"Five light-type mutants are available all day long? It really deserves to be the central base. There are so many light-type mutants. I haven't even seen a few light-type crystal cores." Cannon fodder mutant A propped up his chin, his eyes full of envy.
The entire base does not cover a large area. From the outside, it looks exquisite and compact, and it concentrates all the essence.
But at this moment, Luo Yunjin’s mind was filled with the thought that his home was gone, burned down by the people inside, and the Tree of Life had even flown away.
"Only I can enter this light screen." Pei Chuan suddenly said in a deep voice, "I have neutralized my supernatural powers. I will go in first to find the location of the Tree of Life and give you the location."
"Are you okay?" Luo Yunjin looked at the glittering light screen again, feeling a little worried.
"I'm the most suitable person to do it. You just follow Luo Yuanting and walk straight ahead." Pei Chuan turned into a black cat and jumped out of the window without looking back. He left in a very decisive and straightforward manner.
The cat quickly penetrated the light screen and gradually moved away until its figure completely disappeared.
There was no fluctuation on the light screen, indicating that the cat had entered successfully.
Luo Yuanting led the team to the outermost main gate of the central base.
"You should be from H City. Our leader has been waiting for you for a long time." The guard outside the door had a bad look in his eyes. When he saw kayaks embedded on the bottoms of several cars, his eyes kept moving left and right.
The gate opened, and the vehicle followed the guide up the long ladder to the top building of the central base.
This is a base with an artificial red giant star. Sunlight can be felt inside the light screen. Many green plants are neatly planted on the roadside. The sunlight shines on the ground, and all the vegetation is thriving.
The streets are also very clean, and all vehicles are powered by crystal cores, making them very intelligent.
Everyone who steps into the central base for the first time will be amazed by the technology here. Some people will be fascinated by it, while others will simply look down on it.
Because almost everyone on the street is wearing tinted glasses. They look at outsiders as if they were looking at a commodity, only considering its value.
Many people with special abilities in the team couldn't stand their arrogance.
But this is someone else's territory after all, and no one stood up to speak, just suppressing their anger.
Until someone broke the silence.
"Is this the high-level psychic in H City? I think he is just average, not as good as those wandering psychics in our underground. There is nothing good to see. He is just a group of dogs performing pantomime here." Zhang Niubi said sourly.
Other passers-by agreed.
"But there are a few beauties. If they all stay, I'd like to buy one." Cannon fodder Passerby A smiled evilly.
"There's nothing to see here, just a bunch of rabble. They come here to wag their tails and expect to get something in return? That's wishful thinking." Cannon fodder Passerby B sneered.
"I think it's nothing special. Didn't I hear before that there was a very powerful planting-type mutant in H City? Now we have discovered the secret, and that mutant's family is gone. Hahaha." Cannon fodder Passerby C laughed.
Wearing a hat to cover his face and protected by everyone, Luo Yunjin felt his fists harden.
"Why are you so talkative? If you have the guts, come out and fight, and compare your abilities." Duan Ya shouted with a frown.
"Hey, you still dare to be stubborn. You'll be caught later. I'll see how you can act so arrogantly! You're a stray dog! Woof woof woof!" Ding, a cannon fodder passerby in the crowd, jumped out and cursed.
puff
Xuan Hongyan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Someone is imitating a dog's barking, and it sounds pretty good. Let's hear it bark a few more times." Duan Ya raised his middle finger at the man.
"Don't stop me, I'm going to beat these people to death!" Cannon fodder passerby Ding jumped out again.
Looking back, he found that no one was stopping him, but for the sake of face, he still took a step forward.
"What's the big deal?" He quietly covered his face with his hands, then squeezed into the crowd dejectedly under Duan Ya's gaze.
Luo Yunjin thought these people were ridiculous. They clearly had no real ability, but they talked a lot of nonsense and showed off their eloquence.
Luo Yuanting had a dark face throughout the whole process, and the low pressure on his body gradually spread. Everyone around him could feel that the commander was angry. This kind of silent anger was really scary.
