Once Du Jun finished, Du Lushui immediately displayed his skills. The other four had obviously known each other for a long time and had some tacit understanding. He and Du Lanshan were brothers and a natural alliance. If he didn't take the opportunity to express his opinion, he would easily be ostracized by everyone at the rest stop.
His skill is called "Paper Doll," a special skill that cannot be upgraded; he can transform into a paper doll at any time.
When encountering a paper doll, humans will automatically blindfold themselves, while non-humans will ignore its presence. The biggest limitation is that if the skill is used for more than an hour, the user will permanently transform into a paper doll. Although there is no cooldown, a high degree of control over time is still required.
Du Lanshan, whose complexion was not good, was urged by Du Lushui and reluctantly shared his skills.
His skill is called General's Command, a common, upgradeable skill. Under General's Command, all troops submit. He can disguise himself as an enemy soldier and speak with commanding authority for a certain period, forcing the designated person to obey. The skill lasts 30 minutes and has a 10-hour cooldown.
"Amazing!" Liu Juan exclaimed enviously, "They even have additional skills!"
Du Lanshan showed no sign of smugness; instead, he turned his head away, choosing not to look.
Secondary Skill – The general possesses exceptional martial arts skills, invincible and unmatched, a single warrior capable of taking on a million men. Skill duration: 10 minutes; cooldown: 12 hours. Limitations: The emperor's wrath can cause countless deaths; if you encounter a boss and are unable to defeat it, it is strongly recommended that you kneel and beg for mercy.
Everyone stared at the last one. The men who had initially thought the skill was very powerful all looked away, and an awkward silence ensued.
Du Lushu suppressed a laugh and came to her brother's rescue, saying, "Everyone's skills have certain limitations. I think it's better to stick together as much as possible in the future!"
"Yes!" Sun Han looked at Liu Juan in agreement, "How are your skills?"
Seeing that no one was paying attention to the computer screen, Du Lanshan let out an uneasy sigh and looked eagerly at Liu Juan.
Liu Juan's skill is also unique and cannot be upgraded; it evolves and assimilates, and has a certain chance of predicting what kind of death land the next Gate of Reincarnation will be. Wow, you are the chosen one! Entering the Gate of Reincarnation is like a fish entering the sea. Limitation: You might encounter an overly hospitable host who will forcefully keep you there!
Her skills were described in such an abstract way that it was difficult to grasp their specific usage.
When it was Cheng Shuang's turn, her skills were projected onto the computer, and only one doll skill was displayed. Seeing the teddy bear she was always hugging, the others didn't find it strange.
She didn't hide the fact that she had a second doll. The Du brothers weren't experiencing the automatic target competition game, and they were very curious about the zombie-like appearance. Unfortunately, the little girl couldn't find it for a while, but subconsciously she knew it was right next to her.
The second skill was followed by a question mark, with no explanation, and was in a grayed-out, untouchable state. Except for Du Jun, who was sensitive enough to take a second look, no one else paid any attention to it.
Of course, Du Jun is not one to talk too much.
The girl thought about it and decided that it wouldn't be too late to figure out what skill it was before making any decisions.
After exchanging information, they each went to find food, drinks, and other clues.
The staff break room has a single bed and a small sofa, which is assumed to be a private place for the two ladies to rest when they want to occasionally, and is used as a public space at other times.
Liu Juan asked for directions to the bathroom and went inside, leaving Cheng Shuang to sit on the sofa, hugging her teddy bear and burying herself in her textbook.
The door to the lounge was open, and occasionally a passing man would glance at it. Seeing the little girl, whose childish face still looked innocent, reading so earnestly, his tense heart would ease a little. At least he could find traces of peaceful and beautiful times in the child. Besides, everything was getting better, and perhaps there was still hope for the future!
Of course, some people can't help but feel fortunate, at least they're not a child who still needs to study. Otherwise, if one day they finally escaped death and returned to the normal world, only to open their eyes and find that they have an exam coming up, that would be a true tragedy.
The people outside the door all slowed their footsteps.
Just two minutes later, a piercing scream came from the bathroom. Liu Juan, her face still wet with water, ran out in a panic. Without saying a word, she pulled Cheng Shuang out of the lounge and said in a tense tone to the men who were looking over, "There's something in the bathroom!"
"Could you be mistaken?" Du Lanshan asked, frowning.
Sun Han closed the magazine he had taken from the magazine rack, stood up, and said, "Let's go take a look. The rest stop is too mysterious; it's best to be careful!"
Before they could act, a heavy sigh came from inside the open bathroom door, sounding distant and eerie in the somewhat empty space.
The little girl's eyes lit up, and she was about to run in when Du Jun stopped her.
The boy took the small fire axe from the fire hydrant and cautiously approached. Then, his handsome face, which rarely showed any emotion, twitched. A tall and thin shadow gradually emerged from the ground. Judging from its size, it was a huge creature. Moreover, the comfortable constant temperature in the store was immediately broken as soon as it appeared. The temperature dropped sharply, and even the air became heavier.
Everyone stared intently, holding their breath.
The dark figure finally slowly revealed its true form—
A tiny, black-robed figure, no bigger than a palm, floated out with a sigh.
"How does it manage to make its shadow so big?" Liu Juan exclaimed in embarrassment and annoyance. This was the very thing that had frightened her.
The short-limbed girl ran over like the wind and grabbed the monster's hand. The chill and the excessively long shadow vanished in an instant. The two, one big and one small, faced each other in silence for a long time. The monster let out another long sigh.
The little girl giggled, "It...it looks kind of funny!"
Everyone craned their necks to take a look, and sure enough, it was a funny sight. Deep inside the hood, there was only a pair of thick, bushy, slanted eyebrows…
The atmosphere was so tense that no one dared to look the man in black in the eye. Besides, when he was tall, the large hood looked like a hole, and you couldn't see anything clearly.
Sure enough, after the little girl let go, the monster spontaneously started spinning around at her feet, and everything inside the hood returned to being empty, mysterious and eerie, except for its height... With its movements, it was like a wind-up toy.
"It turns out that miniature things are always cute, that's so true!" Liu Juan exclaimed, glaring at the monster (?) that had given them so much trouble, and really wanted to pick it up and shake it to vent her anger.
"Although we managed to get through the ordeal after being awakened, our abilities seem to have been greatly restricted," Du Jun said, getting straight to the point.
Cheng Shuang nodded, quite seriously, "That's probably why it sighed!"
Zombie: ...
The convenience store was still shrouded in thick fog, obscuring the sunrise and sunset, but the electronic devices displayed the time. Every twelve hours, the points would decrease by 10, serving as a strict reminder of the passing time.
The maintainers searched the convenience store for most of the day and finally found two more special items—running socks and sleep aid tablets. Although they could be carried around, there were obvious restrictions.
