Chapter 291 This Terrible World
The flashlight shone on the ice, and the cryosphere emitted colorful lens light. The frozen zombies inside were crumbling, and when they saw the light, they began to slowly move their fingers.
A large number of zombies are sealed in this ice cave.
"This should be where they collect stardust." Lin Cang frowned and thought deeply. "Stardust can only be collected by freezing the crystal core of a zombie before it dies, and then using a special silver needle to scrape out the crystal core powder."
The ground inside the ice cave is very smooth and the air is freezing.
There are many icicles hanging from the top, and not far away there is a frozen fountain with water still flowing in it.
The water flows gently under the ice, and a water crystal core sinks quietly to the bottom of the water.
Lin Cang broke the ice with one punch, took out the crystal core at the bottom of the water, and crushed it into powder.
The moment the water crystal core left the water, the frozen secret passage in the front opened with difficulty.
"This is the Mu family's treasure house. As long as we get the crystal core back, we don't have to be afraid of them anymore." Lin Cang was a little excited.
"Wait, we seem to be going too smoothly." Lin Xi stopped him from going in directly.
The layout of the entire ice cave is very rough, and there are not many zombies frozen inside.
He didn't believe that the Mu family only kept so few zombies. This place was more like a trap that was carelessly set up, waiting for them to step into it.
Lin Xi broke off a piece of cake and threw it into the secret passage.
A few whooshing sounds.
The ice was quickly smashed into powder by the flying arrows.
"There is a trap here. This place is definitely not the real treasure house. Let's leave quickly!" Lin Xi grabbed Lin Cang's clothes and pulled him out.
His intuition was very accurate. Sure enough, the moment the two of them left the ice cave, the ice inside began to collapse and disintegrate, zombies crawled out of the ice, and the door slowly closed.
This trap has two safeguards.
If they walked into the secret passage, they would be shot to death by hidden arrows or other hidden weapons.
If they didn't leave in time, they would face many hungry zombies after the gate closed.
No matter how powerful a psychic's abilities are, it will not be easy to escape unscathed if they are attacked by both.
"Where did you get the news here?" Lin Xi had received an urgent recall from Lin Cang, so she accompanied him here to find the Mu family's secret vault.
"I heard the conversation between Chang Yinxue and the Mu family when they were in contact." Lin Cang didn't expect that he would be cheated, and he was very angry at this time.
They climbed out of the deep well along the original vines.
In the barren, dead forest, all the trees were shaking. Under the scorching sun, as long as a gust of wind blew, many trees would fall apart like tofu dregs.
If the diffused wood chips fall into your eyes, you will feel a strong stinging sensation.
The roof of the RV parked nearby was covered in sawdust, and the windows were covered in dust.
"If there's nothing else, I should go back." Lin Xi took out the walkie-talkie and prepared to put the batteries in.
He had just started talking on the intercom when there was a crisp sound.
The sky suddenly turned dark green and the sun turned blue.
The walkie-talkie can no longer search for a signal.
From the desolate deep well behind him, rotten zombies crawled out one after another.
There were still ice chips stuck on their bodies, and they were emitting cold air. Every time they took a step, their bones could be heard colliding with each other.
This scene is exactly the same as the zombies that could create illusions that we encountered in H City before.
They were locked in this area.
No matter how the RV turned around, it could not leave the dead forest. It seemed to be stuck in an infinite loop, staying in the same place and unable to turn back.
Many zombie crows appeared in the dark sky. They landed on the surrounding tree branches, staring at the RV with their red eyes and making sharp screams.
"Fuck, we were really tricked." Lin Cang turned away the steering wheel.
Zombie crows swarmed towards the RV.
Lin Xi released an electric grid, turning all the zombies and crows rushing towards him into charcoal.
But if they can't find a real exit, they'll be stuck here forever.
The superpowers will also be exhausted. Even if both of them are star-level superpower users, they cannot withstand the continuous output of superpowers.
Lin Cang took out a box of meteorites from his black backpack.
"No, your body can no longer continue to use the meteorite overdraft. Believe me, we can get out!" Lin Xi put the meteorite back into the package.
Neither of them expected that they would be trapped in this environment for five whole months.
In the first month, all the supplies in the RV were used up.
Fortunately, in addition to his dark powers, Lin Cang accidentally activated his ice powers this month.
They barely survived on ice water.
In the second month, the two explored the entire forest and eliminated all the zombies, but there were still endless zombies pouring out of the deep well.
They could only go to the deep well again and explore the secret passage hidden in it.
In the secret passage, there are a large number of canned candies and canned beef with a shelf life of more than 30 years.
But unfortunately, no exit was found.
In the third month, both of them advanced.
They cut down all the trees in the forest, leaving only the well.
In addition to zombies and zombie crows, a third creature appeared in the magic mirror: the zombie butterfly.
Countless zombie butterflies flew out of the deep well.
This time, both of them were determined to leave, and the exit must be related to the well.
In the fourth month, after many attempts including flooding the deep well, burying the deep well with soil, splitting the deep well with electricity, blocking the well mouth, etc., they finally succeeded in breaking the magic mirror after smashing the bricks of the deep well.
The sun shone on the earth. Seeing the long-lost light, Lin Cang wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Tsk, with your strength, it took you four months to leave that small magic mirror. I really overestimated you." Chang Yinxue was holding a big wolfhound, and Mu Tianxiong was standing behind her.
Lin Cang's eyes were sharp, "Are you in cahoots with her?"
Mu Tianxiong avoided his gaze and said nothing.
Chang Yinxue raised the cane in her hand and patted Mu Tianxiong's left cheek with the muddy end. "He is now my male favorite, and you will soon become one of them."
Behind her stood several tall, handsome men, all of whom were saddled with Chang Yinxue's horse.
In these four months, Lin Xi has successfully advanced to the seventh-level star-level psychic. He can feel that the psychics of the people here are not as high as his.
But they all spoke with conviction and appeared extremely confident.
This was originally the Mu family's territory.
"You are just an outsider. When will it be your turn to make the decisions for the Mu family?" Lin Cang created several black shadow clones without retaining any special abilities and knocked them all to the ground.
Chang Yinxue, who had a mouthful of dirt choking on her, was still laughing wildly. The breeze blew through her black long skirt, revealing a pair of mechanical legs underneath.
Chang Yinxue removed his amputated right leg and threw it in front.
A burst of white smoke suddenly appeared, disrupting everyone's vision.
After the smoke cleared, Chang Yinxue and others disappeared.
Lin Xi said slowly, "Don't chase them. Their purpose is probably to test our strength."
He stuffed a few crystal cores into Lin Cang's hands.
Then he got in the car and drove straight out of the forest.
The road outside was broken into pieces, and the black rivers on both sides were surging.
This is just the Mu family's 'garden'.
Although they are a family, the Mu family has taken in many people with different surnames over the years.
The huge family directly allocated land for their own use, forming the prototype of their own base.
They are not afraid of zombies at all. Some people with special abilities even advance by raising zombies. The earliest zombies that appeared on Blue Planet were also related to them.
These people do all kinds of evil for their own benefit. They are crazy.
The Mu family's main city was just ahead, and the city gates were now open, as if they had been waiting for them to move forward.
"I have to go back. We are not well prepared this time." Lin Xi persuaded Lin Cang.
It is more than 5,000 kilometers away from Haicheng, surrounded by mountains and located on a plateau.
Lin Cang was about to nod when he saw a familiar figure flash past behind the gate not far away.
He suddenly lost his mind and rushed in without caring about Lin Xi's eagerness to go home.
*
The cinema is crowded every day. In order to prevent everyone from becoming lazy, people still take turns on duty every day.
As the Stone Mountain became better and better, people moved in from the surrounding empty mountains one after another.
Among them were more than 500 people who escaped from the Haicheng underground base.
Ma Maipi has lost the trust of the people with special abilities and also lost his rights.
Now Yuan Huan is in charge of the lives and daily life of the people with special abilities.
He rationally arranged the water-type and planting-type ability users in the team, and it actually worked quite well.
Before long, a lot of green plants appeared on the hills.
He also visited Stone Mountain once during the trip and purchased a batch of green trees planted by Luo Yunjin from her.
Thinking that theirs was the only green and lush stone mountain near the entire Haicheng, Luo Yunjin sold them a batch at a high price.
In this way, there will be trees on the surrounding mountains, and they will no longer be a thorn in the eyes of other bases, which can distract some attention.
The most important thing is that there are trees on the surrounding mountains that can block the scorching sun.
When the supernatural people in the mountain have nothing to do, they also build some wooden houses at the foot of the mountain, planning to sell some small gadgets they made here as a diversion from their boring lives.
But they didn't expect that the stall business would become more and more popular, and more and more survivors would slowly gather here.
A small street has formed at the foot of Stone Mountain, where most of the people there are psychics who come here regularly to exchange supplies.
Shen Jun had been stuck in the mountains for too long, and when he came down he was confused by everyone's conversation.
"What? Xiao Wang has also reached the ninth level? You really need to work harder. This is a metal sword I made myself. It's incredibly sharp. It was made and certified by several Gold Star-level Psychics on Stone Mountain."
"I recently cultivated three acres of cotton fields and plan to make a new batch of quilts after the cotton is harvested. If you want them, you'd better make an appointment quickly. There are already several ninth-level psychics vying for them."
"This is a very popular drink among the star-level psychics on Stone Mountain. It's a fruit-flavored smoothie with yogurt added. It's perfect for this weather!"
"Yesterday, a ninth-level water-type mutant from our mountain fought with a fire-type mutant of the same level from the mountain across the street. A lot of water was wasted. I collected a lot and am selling it cheaply~"
…
The small street was bustling with people.
Shen Junxie, who had just advanced to the eighth level:???
He randomly found a knife shop and prepared to have his machete serviced.
"Brother, your knife is quite old. We have several new types of knives here, which are more suitable for use by ninth-level and above psychics." The shopkeeper winked at him.
"Is there anything suitable for an eighth-level psychic?"
The shop owner was shocked when he heard this. "You're only at level eight? Seeing your sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, I thought you were a high-level psychic, but I didn't expect you to be a mere level eight loser. Sorry, my shop only accepts psychics of level nine and above."
Shen Junxie had never felt so irritated before.
He thought he was dreaming.
When did the ninth-level mutants become cabbages?
"Are you still going to buy it? If not, get out of the way! Boss, I want to reserve a pair of pliers suitable for a ninth-level intermediate fire-type mutant. Place the order now, I need it urgently~" He glared at Shen Junxie with contempt.
Shen Junxie staggered out of the knife shop.
At the leaf-flavored marshmallow shop next door, a middle-aged woman waved to him friendly, "Hey, young man, come here. Our marshmallows are most suitable for psychics below level nine. Today we have a buy one get one free deal. These are made from fresh leaves I bought from Stone Mountain. Those low-level psychics at level seven and eight will love them."
Shen Junxie's eyes went dark: Who am I? Where am I?
What's wrong with this terrible world?
Feeling abandoned by the whole world, Shen Junxie returned to the mountain in a daze.
Lan Xinya sat at the entrance of the cave with dull eyes.
Shen Junxie didn't pay much attention to her, but still asked casually, "Zheng Chunlei hasn't come back yet? Didn't you say he went out looking for supplies two days ago?"
"Oh, I'll be back soon." Lan Xinya said absentmindedly. She looked mentally unstable, with messy hair, untidy clothes, and dirty body.
Compared with the people on the bustling street at the foot of the mountain, Shen Junxie was surprised to find that the middle-aged woman she had just seen was much more beautiful than her.
Perhaps out of pity, he stuffed the two strings of leaf-flavored marshmallows he had just bought into Lan Xinya's hands, and then went back to take a shower.
Lan Xinya paused as she looked at the marshmallow in her hand.
A glimmer of light suddenly flashed in the originally dry eyes.
She took a big bite of the marshmallow. It had a light sweetness, and the taste was strange but not unpleasant.
"Shen Junxie... He has no partner and no friends. If it were him, he would definitely not betray me!" Lan Xinya looked back at the big black vat in her cave.
A huge rock was pressed down on the lid of the jar.
"System, help me one last time, I am determined to succeed!" She ran back to the house, changed into a white gauze dress, took out her treasured perfume, and sprayed it on herself. Suddenly, her whole body was filled with an unpleasant smell mixed with fragrance and stench.
[How do you want me to help? There are only five days left, and the mission is about to fail~]
"Shen Junxie, he is also a potential male supporting role, right? Give me the medicine. As long as I get him, I will still have a chance to turn the tables!" Lan Xinya chuckled, the corners of her dry mouth cracked slightly, and a trace of blood dyed her lips red.
[I have overdrawn ten years of your life in advance to exchange for a bottle of high-level knockout drug. Please check it carefully~]
Lan Xinya turned a blind eye to the system's secret deduction of her lifespan, and she tightly grasped the medicine bottle that suddenly appeared in her hand.
The large vat beside her trembled, and the lid under the huge rock shook violently.
Lan Xinya picked up another stone with an expressionless face and placed it on the lid.
Soon the shaking of the lid slowed down and the vat gradually returned to calm.
