Chapter 280: Turning Away
Shen Junxie melted the lock on the cage and said, "I'm sorry, I just asked her to check the latest information on Stone Mountain. The person was captured by mistake. I didn't mean anything else."
Pei Chuan wouldn't believe it. He moved the two people who were still in a coma out, and then looked at Yuan Xinyue again.
"Whether she is a zombie or not is none of my business. But you hurt my team members, I can't let you go so easily." Pei Chuan carried one in each hand and waited for Qi Chi and the others to drive over to pick them up.
Shen Junxie's face looked very ugly. He didn't want to confront the psychics on the Stone Mountain. He knew that the strength of those high-level psychics was far higher than his.
However, he was reluctant to hand Yuan Xinyue over. Regardless of whether she was a zombie or not, her invisibility ability was still useful to him.
"This is our fault. I am willing to bear any compensation you want. Besides, the two of them just fainted and were not injured." Shen Junxie hoped to minimize the impact of this incident and it would be best not to anger those high-level psychics. He was willing to do so even if it cost him more crystal cores.
Pei Chuan frowned. He overestimated this man.
They had had brief contact before, and in Pei Chuan's opinion, Shen Junxie was very opinionated, had his own ideas, and would strive to find the best life for his teammates.
But what happened today made him see the side of this person hidden beneath the surface. He was very good at disguise, willing to sacrifice others for his own benefit, and even associate with zombies.
This Yuan Xinyue is 100% a zombie.
Whenever Pei Chuan looked at her, she would reveal her sharp fangs and her eyes would flash red.
This was a phenomenon that occurred after being suppressed by his invalidating ability. When he entered the cave, he aimed his ability at the woman, preventing her from using it to escape.
A zombie that can transform into a human form obviously has more than just the third level of abilities that appear on the surface.
Shen Junxie had also felt it a long time ago, but for the sake of this zombie, he was even willing to abandon all his hard work for so long.
Seeing that she had been exposed, Yuan Xinyue no longer hid. She jumped directly onto Zhang Liu and dug her fingers into the flesh of his neck, directly severing the common carotid artery.
Shen Junxie's back was covered in blood.
He turned around and another burst of blood fell on his face.
After eating the flesh and blood, Yuan Xinyue's eyes turned red, breaking through the shackles of the invalidated supernatural power. It climbed directly onto the earth wall like a gecko, its eyeballs turned bright red, and green saliva was still flowing from its mouth.
Yuan Xinyue is a dual-ability zombie, possessing both poison and invisibility abilities.
However, its poison is not as strong as Beihai Yaya that we encountered before in the central base.
When Lin Xi arrived with his team in a car, he saw the cave full of blood and an unknown creature hanging on the top of the wall.
Shen Junxie watched helplessly as several of his teammates, who had shared life and death with him, were poisoned by Yuan Xinyue. He was still in a state of shock, but then a look of determination appeared in his eyes.
He must hold Yuan Xinyue in his arms.
Pei Chuan carried Zhong Lingmei and Zhang Xiaochui into the car.
"Why does this zombie's ability look so familiar?" Luo Yunjin also remembered the girl he met at the central base.
Although she did not see it with her own eyes and Xuan Hongyan and the others encountered it by chance, the same poisonous ability and the same strange form made people involuntarily link the two together.
Lin Xi stared at the zombies on top of the wall.
As soon as the other party saw Lin Xi, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He quickly crawled to the corner of the wall, and after landing, he turned into a human form. He hid behind Shen Junxie and grabbed the hem of his clothes tightly.
"Mr. Shen, so you still want to continue protecting it?" Pei Chuan frowned and looked at Shen Junxie. His other teammates in the cave had been dealt with by Yuan Xinyue, and the zombie hiding behind him was covered in blood.
Shen Junxie took a few steps forward, exposing Yuan Xinyue who was hiding behind him.
He thought a lot in just a few seconds. Just now, this monster killed those team members in front of him without his consent, and also did not obey his orders before and captured Zhong Lingmei and the other person from the mountain.
Obviously, this zombie did not obey orders at all. Even if he really saved it, there was no guarantee that it would not treat him in the same way in the future.
It’s better not to have such a disobedient monster.
"I didn't judge people well enough. Fortunately, you reminded me. I just found out that it was a zombie. It was very ferocious." He cleared himself of all responsibility with just one sentence.
Shen Junxie was the first to take action. He directly condensed a big fireball and threw it towards Yuan Xinyue.
Chen Yueliang received instructions from Luo Yunjin and released water to put out the fire.
"It can't die. I always feel something is weird and I can't get rid of it so easily. Finally, send it to the central base to see. It is not an ordinary zombie." Luo Yunjin's intuition is very accurate. This zombie may be related to many things.
Lin Xi's idea was consistent with Luo Yunjin's.
If Pei Chuan's ability hadn't temporarily blocked Yuan Xinyue's disguise, ordinary people wouldn't be able to tell it was a zombie.
Such camouflage ability is too scary. I wonder if there are other disguised zombies that have completely blended into human life and what their purpose is.
The survivors who died in the cave were all very miserable, but Yuan Xinyue, who turned into a human form, looked aggrieved. He learned the facial expressions of humans very well, which is what makes him so scary.
So the cage originally used to hold Zhong Lingmei and Zhang Xiaochui became used to hold Yuan Xinyue. In order to prevent it from escaping, Luo Jinbei also used his gold-based ability to strengthen the metal on the cage.
The cage was tied directly to the roof of the flying car.
They planned to send someone directly to the central base.
The central base is less than 5,000 kilometers away from Haicheng and can be contacted via walkie-talkie.
Luo Jinbei, Pei Chuan and Chen Yueliang drove there.
The three of them now have very strong superpowers, enough to protect themselves.
Shen Junxie looked at it eagerly.
His three perspectives were severely impacted. With the loss of three team members, the original team of seven people suddenly became four people.
Lan Xinya was living in the hotel's sky capsule when she learned the news.
After Luo Yunjin returned, he informed all the people with special abilities about this incident through a loudspeaker, and asked them to protect themselves. If they encountered anyone with abnormal behavior, they should find a crowded place to gather together in time.
Lan Xinya shuddered at the thought that the team she had temporarily joined would recruit zombies while she was away. Luckily, Shen Junxie had called them back for a meeting, but they had refused, citing cleaning duties as an excuse.
All three people who returned died.
Oh my god.
The relief of having escaped danger and the fear that gradually emerged in my heart overwhelmed me.
Lan Xinya no longer trusts anyone around her.
There might be zombies disguised as people with special abilities around you.
This uncertainty is like opening a blind box, which is a bit scary.
However, what is certain is that the high-level psychics on the Stone Mountain are very powerful. They actually recognized the zombie and they are also related to the central base.
There are many people who share the same idea as Lan Xinya.
They all eagerly wanted to join the team of superpowers on Stone Mountain and keep up with the pace of the strong.
In the double room, Chen Juanjuan curled up on the bed. She had already gotten used to life here.
You can get a fresh fruit every day by cleaning your room.
"Brother Heng, will we stay here forever? The living conditions in this hotel are very good, and there are even star-level psychics on the mountain. Staying here is much better than us going out and struggling."
Zhang Heng hugged the woman, his face nonchalant. "I still have enough crystal cores for us to live for five months. We can rest here for a while before going out hunting. It's true that life here is better than in many bases."
"I've thought about it. If we can become a member of the team of superpowers on the top of the mountain, our life will be better. Even if not, staying in this hotel is also nice." Chen Juanjuan took out a notebook from under the pillow.
These are her thoughts and records these days.
"Brother Heng, you're a water-type esper. Even if your abilities aren't strong, you're still in high demand at every base. We can integrate all the esper from the previous team on this stone mountain. You should be a very convincing leader."
"You want me to take advantage of those high-level psychics and start my own team?" Zhang Heng didn't expect Chen Juanjuan to think so much. "Didn't you promise to play dirty with me? Isn't it nice to be trash together?"
Chen Juanjuan turned her head away and rolled her eyes where the other person couldn't see. Who wants to be trash with you? She wants more than just the leisurely life in this hotel, she wants to be the mistress of this mountain!
Zhang Heng casually flipped through the notebook, which even recorded the identity information of the psychics on the first floor who registered their information every day.
Although there was no record of their superpowers, based on the order in which these people came and went on duty, Chen Juanjuan believed that there were at least 16 people with superpowers on the mountain.
Moreover, most of these people with special abilities have clean and good looks and outstanding abilities.
Especially the one with star-level lightning ability.
"Look, this person is the psychic who was promoted to star level today. He is very powerful and doesn't look very old. He has such high abilities at such a young age. Look at yourself. We can't give up, we have to look up!" Chen Juanjuan said earnestly.
The electric fence halfway up the mountain isolates the forest above.
However, through observations over the past few days, Chen Juanjuan discovered that there were still many traces of mutant animals living behind the power grid, as well as many wild fruit trees.
There must be more fruit trees on the top of the mountain, otherwise they wouldn’t be so extravagant as to open a fruit buffet restaurant.
In addition, she also found that these psychics seemed to listen to the long-haired girl and centered around her, even the lightning-type psychic.
But that girl was indeed stunningly beautiful. Even before the end of the world, no one had ever seen such a beautiful, fairy-like woman.
She followed Zhang Heng and was protected by him. Along the way, she was always the envy of everyone.
But after coming here, she found that she was very ordinary, and most importantly, she was an ordinary person, while the other women living in the hotel were all people with special abilities.
This made her desire for superpowers deepen.
He also increasingly wanted to obtain a potion that could grant him supernatural powers.
*
Luo Yunjin and Lin Xi walked all the way back to the mountain.
Recently, a group of scattered psychics have arrived, but the hotel is already fully booked and there is no other room.
They had no choice but to make deals with some people with special abilities in the mountains and live directly in the caves in the earthen hills.
Many people on the road saw the young couple and wiped their eyes, thinking they had returned to the time before the end of the world.
The two of them standing together attracted a lot of attention.
They seem to have a halo around them, and everyone's attention is involuntarily drawn to them.
Lin Xi and Luo Yunjin held hands, and Lin Xi held a big black umbrella in his other hand.
The two of them looked like they had just returned from an outing, looking very relaxed, with a harmonious feeling like an old married couple.
"The kiwis on the mountain are ripe, so I can pick some when I go back." Luo Yunjin stepped onto the steps of the stone mountain.
The other side of Lin Xi's black coat was a little wet by the rain. He put one arm around the girl's shoulders, protecting her completely under his wings.
Many people halfway up the mountain saw them.
Liu Yun hesitated for a moment, then ran out and asked a little embarrassedly, "Excuse me, I want to ask, do you have any extra Coke for sale? My little sister is clamoring for some."
"Yes, but you have to wait. I have to go back and cook."
Liu Yun was stunned by the girl's smile when she looked back at her. She nodded quickly, "It's okay, I can wait. Maybe you can also consider selling those drinks outside the restaurant. They are not easy to preserve, and there should be a lot of people who want to buy them."
"I will consider your opinion." Luo Yunjin changed from holding hands to holding Lin Xi's arm.
The two of them crossed the electric fence together.
The raindrops falling on the electric grid emitted a soft white light.
Liu Yun also saw Lin Xi's face clearly.
Before, at the foot of the mountain, they were both dressed as scavengers and their appearance could not be seen clearly.
When I saw it this time, I was just stunned by its beauty.
Moreover, the young man looked at the girl with a gentle expression.
She suddenly felt that the domineering male protagonist and the delicate female protagonist in the novel had face!
These days, people are bored staying in the hotel, so many of them go to the bookshelf in the service hall on the first floor to look for books to read. There are a lot of books on there, including many old romance novels.
For those who are extremely bored, staying at home in a small space capsule would be a great idea. They would have a cup of hot water, some snacks, and a novel to read all day long.
Many people in the hotel also saw the conversation between the two.
Li Heng looked strange.
Yuan Xiaoni tugged at the corner of his clothes and asked, "Brother Li, are you okay?"
Li Heng shook his head. When he looked up, he saw many people lying on the windowsill and chatting excitedly. He felt inexplicably unhappy.
At this moment, the system that had been pretending to be dead popped up a message box.
[Ding Dong, a random task has been triggered. Please say "I love you" to the person of the opposite sex next to you within three minutes. Completing the task will reward you with a seventh-level wind crystal core. Failure will result in a power level loss.]
Another relegation? What's next?
Li Heng said those three words to Yuan Xiaoni without saying anything or thinking.
Yuan Xiaoni's face turned red instantly. She was so shocked that she didn't know what to say. She was about to say something reserved to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Then he heard Li Heng pinch out a wind crystal core from his pocket and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean to talk to you just now."
Yuan Xiaoni was very sure that the other party was talking to her just now, and their eyes even met.
I didn't expect him to turn around and ignore me.
However, after spending these days with him, Yuan Xiaoni has long been accustomed to Li Heng's saying one thing and doing another, and he doesn't care about it. He even thinks it is normal for him to do so.
Yuan Xiaoni touched her chin and was surprised to find that the throbbing in her heart disappeared after Li Heng finished speaking.
