After a few missions, the team has been able to cooperate well. It's just that Zhang Zhiyin didn't have the opportunity to practice ice-type abilities, so the three crystal cores obtained through the mission were also used for precise mutation upgrades in order to hide from people's eyes and ears. Now that the precision ability is at the first level, the ice-type ability is still at the primary level, and the small ice balls he made can only be melted and drunk as water, and have no actual attack power.
About ten days later, they received another mission. There was a commotion in the zombies in the southwest of the base, and they needed to investigate the cause.
Several people got into the team's special inspection vehicle and drove to their destination. Since the incident site is relatively close to the base, it is often cleaned up, so there are not many zombies hanging around, but occasionally I encounter a few that are very manic, rushing towards them like chicken blood, and their strength and speed are higher than usual. There is a substantial increase.
Zhang Zhiyin and Li Shuifeng are on the left and right, and are responsible for searching for abnormalities along the way.
Zhang Zhiyin suddenly remembered that he had also done a very important side quest near here in the game. The quest was posted by the person in charge of the west area of Base No. 1 at that time. , in one mission their entire team was wiped out, and his brother was tragically killed. For so many years, it has been difficult for him to let go of this worry, and he hopes that players can help him go to the place of the incident to find out the clues of the year.
Zhang Zhiyin still remembered that at the end of the mission, no clues were found. He only picked up a very unique metal eagle head necklace and brought it back. The person in charge was very excited and said that this was the necklace his brother got, giving the players a lot of rewards. .
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiyin casually looked to the left and caught a glimpse of the scene reflected in the rear-view mirror—the captain's uncle sitting in the passenger seat neatly untied the two buttons on his neckline, revealing his muscular chest and a strip on his chest. A chic, eagle-shaped metal necklace.
Zhang Zhiyin: "…"
Squad leader... Going to the southwest of the base to do a mission... The whole team was wiped out... Eagle head necklace... Wouldn't it be such a coincidence
"Captain," Zhang Zhiyin looked at the uncle, "I don't think the situation is right. Shall we go back today, and then come back with a few teams when we have enough equipment?"
The uncle captain was a little hesitant. After going through the baptism of many tasks, large and small, his instinct as a third-level ability user made him also feel a sense of danger, but he could not tell the source of this feeling, and he got nothing like this. It's not good to go back.
"Lets see."
The captain's uncle just said his words, and without waiting for Zhang Zhiyin to say anything, he listened to Li Shuifeng: "Look, over there, it may be what we are looking for."
I saw a half-human-high plant with a fist-sized fruit lingering with faint blue light. All the zombies were ten meters away from the plant and did not dare to approach.
At the end of the world, animals, plants and even some common items are affected and mutated. Some become extremely aggressive, while others can be used with wonderful effects.
"Me, the old horse and the big tiger to see what it is, you stay in the car, if there is something wrong, evacuate immediately."
In this world of tomorrow, just like games, each person may master several special "life skills" and improve their proficiency through continuous use. The life skill of the old horse is very special, it is the identification technique, and now it is possible to see the attributes or effects of some items with lower levels.
The old horse suddenly exclaimed: "Let ordinary mutants have the second ability of the water system! God!"
The uncle captain changed his face when he heard the words, took out the storage box, and put the blue fruit into the box. This thing is so magical and important that, in case something changes, he has to risk it now to bring it back to base.
Just as he picked the fruit, the zombies who had been wandering around and dared not approach suddenly surrounded him.
The sixth sense made the captain turn around quickly, narrowly avoiding a green shriveled and sharp paw. At some point behind him, a tall blue-green zombie about two meters tall appeared.
After only three rounds, the captain felt exhausted. He spat and said hatefully: "It's a poisonous zombie, be careful of his claws. Damn, there may be speed variations."
Hu Zi and Lao Ma were cleaning up the surrounding mobs, and upon seeing this, they returned to the captain who was entangled by poisonous zombies. The other two abilities who stayed in the car also rushed out of the car, trying to help the three captains to open up a way to escape.
"Its level is too much higher than us! We can't hurt it at all!" Huzi shouted in despair.
The captain, who is a power mutant, took his special steel knife and slashed at the poisonous zombie, just like slashing on an iron plate, leaving only faint white scratches.
"Run to the car and try to get rid of it," the captain growled. But in fact, in his heart, he knew very well that the chance of success in doing so was very small, because the speed of the poisonous zombies was too fast, far exceeding them.
There were only seven people in the team. Among them, Zhang Zhiyin and Li Shuifeng, who were precisely mutated, only had the combat power of ordinary people, so they could only take advantage of their supernatural powers and hid in the car to shoot with guns.
But it's useless at all. The removal of the blue fruit is like lifting some kind of prohibition here. A large number of zombies who don't know where they are hiding are pouring in, as if there is something here that attracts them.
The two team members who just got out of the car to rescue were quickly separated by the zombie group. The three captains tried their best to approach the car, but their efforts seemed to have no effect at all.
Zhang Zhiyin ran to the driver's seat with a gun in hand, and drove in the direction of the captain. The car was specially modified, and it knocked down a lot of low-level zombies along the way.
After some fighting, the number of low-level zombies has been reduced a lot, but their price is also very high - the two team members who went to the rescue are no longer visible, Huzi was cut off by the poisonous zombies, and the old horse and The captain was also injured. Fortunately, they were only three steps away from the door.
"Let's go down to meet them, we can't shoot from this angle." Zhang Zhiyin jumped out of the car with a gun and said hurriedly to Li Shuifeng.
"Go, I'll watch the car." Li Shuifeng responded. His expression was calm, calm throughout.
Zhang Zhiyin took the gun and swept away the low-level zombies near the car door, and at the same time stood at the car door and shot the poisonous zombies. During the cleaning, his right upper arm and right leg were bitten, but the pain and wounds were within the tolerance range.
Seeing the opportunity, the old horse rushed towards the car, and Huzi and the captain moved to this side while fighting the poisonous zombies.
Suddenly, the old horse's movements stopped.
A shriveled, sharp green hand was drawn from behind his chest, and red blood spurted out.
The old horse's body fell slowly, and his eyes were still on the open car door.
The tiger let out a hoarse howl. He shouted: "Captain, go away! I'm stalking this monster!"
Zhang Zhiyin suddenly realized what Dahu was going to do.
The tiger is of the wood type, and the wood type has a skill to control the enemy. It uses the burning life to change the life vines, which can entangle the opponents much higher than their own level. In the game, the so-called burning "life" is just to reduce the blood volume; in this world, burning life may be really burning life.
For the first time, Zhang Zhiyin hated his uselessness and his narrow-mindedness. He watched his teammates fall in front of him, but he couldn't do anything.
Green, vibrant vines sprouted from the tiger's chest, quickly drawn out, and waving around the poisonous zombies. The poisonous zombie tore at it with its sharp claws, but couldn't break free for a while, and kept struggling there, making an angry roar.
Uncle Captain didn't hesitate any longer, and rushed towards Zhang Zhiyin quickly.
During this period, a group of zombie mobs surrounded the door of the car. Zhang Zhiyin had to shoot hard to clear the monsters, and at the same time stretched out his hand to answer the uncle.
Just one step away, the captain suddenly froze, like an old horse.
A dying bluish white appeared on his face, and his hands and feet quickly became stiff. That zombie is poisonous, and after fighting with it for so long, the captain has long been poisoned.
The uncle saw himself in Zhang Zhiyin's eyes. Little by little, he laboriously took out the box containing the blue fruit and handed it to Zhang Zhiyin, his black eyes full of entrustment and trust.
With difficulty and slowness, he said word by word: "Give it to the base... If the secret of this kind of fruit can be discovered and mass-produced, all ordinary power users can have second power... Resist the end of the world, human revival... more hopeful…”
After the explanation, Uncle Captain slowly fell backwards like he wished.
Those vines disappeared at some point, and the poisonous zombies quickly ran towards the direction of the car following the breath. The zombie mobs next to him also surrounded him.
Zhang Zhiyin took a last look at the unique eagle-head necklace, no longer hesitated, and quickly jumped into the car. The chassis of the modified car is very high. He stepped on the car with his left leg, and his right leg was still outside. Involved in the wound on his leg, he suddenly lost his strength.
At this time, Li Shuifeng appeared at the door.
"Pull me up." Zhang Zhiyin quickly reached out to him and looked at him.
Li Shuifeng also reached out to him.
However, he snatched the small box containing the blue fruit that the confidant held in his left hand, and the captain desperately handed it over to him.
He then raised his right leg with a calm face, and kicked Zhang Zhiyin out of the car without hesitation.
Outside the car, there is a group of zombies that are eyeing.
Zhang Zhiyin's eyes were still full of disbelief until he fell to the ground.
—————
Li Shuifeng drove away and saw in the rearview mirror that the last teammate was surrounded by zombies and gradually disappeared from sight. Finally, slowly, slowly, he showed a smile.
On his left hand, there is an inconspicuous small box.
