"Ouch!" The brakes were too sharp, and Liu Fangzhou bumped his head against the back of the seat.
Just as he was rubbing his head, he heard Shen Shi'an turn his head and ask him in a calm voice, "What did you say?"
what? What
Liu Fangzhou struggled to think back: "... Brother Nan's younger brother is already a mutant zombie, what if he absorbs the power and becomes a zombie with supernatural power? Is this the sentence?"
Shen Shi'an's voice was very soft, but Liu Fangzhou seemed to be gnashing his teeth in his ears: "When did Jiamu's head become a mutant zombie?"
when
"It has always been, it has mutated since the first time we met." Liu Fangzhou was puzzled, and then reacted: "Didn't I tell you? It shouldn't be, I remember that I clearly I said that the induction screens of the three of you are very strange, one is not like a normal person than the other, Brother Shen is shining golden, Brother Xun is pitch black, Brother Nan is... "
While talking, the boy fell into recollection: what did he say that night in the basement
Shen Shi'an's memory is much better than his: "You said, Chen Nan'is a ball of green light, but there is a gray shadow beside the green light'."
"Well, didn't I mention that there was a white speck in that gray shadow?"
Shen Shi'an's eyes are as if they could kill someone: "No, yes."
Liu Fangzhou was terrified all over, and now he completely recalled: Shen Shi'an and the other three were the first time he met supernatural beings. At that time, he only thought that these three people were very strange and had valuable anatomical research value. He didn't know that these three people with different colors What does the light ball mean, and I don't know that Chen Nan is carrying a zombie head, because the dusty ball almost regarded him as a newly evolved supernatural zombie.
Later, when he joined the team, he was terrified by the zombie's head without warning, but Brother Shen and the others reacted very normally, and told him to "just get used to it". Liu Fangzhou thought that they already knew that this head was mutated, and he didn't want to make a fuss, so he never mentioned it since then.
"So," Liu Fangzhou carefully looked at the faces of Chen Nan and Shen Shi'an, and finally understood the problem: "Didn't this zombie head mutate before?"
"Of course not!" Chen Nan immediately said, "When I cut down Jiamu, he was still an ordinary zombie. I can be 100% sure of this."
"So what I said before is correct." Liu Fangzhou thought for a while and suddenly became excited: "Zombies will indeed evolve after absorbing their abilities!"
The abilities of the supernatural beings can promote the evolution of zombies. If this discovery is not unprecedented, it is definitely unprecedented!
As soon as the high sense of pride came to a head, Chen Nan ruthlessly pierced it: "Brother Shen has already guessed this matter."
Facing the gazes of Liu Fangzhou and Tao Yuan, Chen Nan explained: "When Brother Shen and I first met, I mentioned that Jiamu liked my abilities very much. Every time he absorbed my abilities, he would calm down and not It's about to bite people. At that time, Brother Shen guessed that the ability might be able to promote the evolution of zombies, so let me carefully observe Jiamu's situation, and tell him if there are any changes."
In order to appease the zombie head, Chen Nan had to feed him supernatural powers frequently. Shen Shi'an just took this opportunity to collect data, and roughly guessed the functional relationship between the output of abilities and the evolution of zombies.
The difference between ordinary zombies and mutated zombies is mainly reflected in two aspects, one is flexibility, and the other is a slight difference in the degree of decay. When Shen Shi'an saw Chen Jiamu's head for the first time, it was intact. According to Chen Nan, there had never been any signs of decay, so the only criterion for judging whether he evolved was flexibility.
How to judge whether a zombie's brain is flexible
Shen Shi'an was not sure either. But from the naked eye observation, this head is neither more noisy nor more lively, so he always thought that the supernatural energy output by Chen Nan did not meet the zombie evolution standard. Coupled with frequent accidents during the journey, everyone encountered danger one after another. There were too many things to pay attention to, and unconsciously they paid less attention to this matter.
Until now, they didn't know that this zombie head had evolved long ago.
Shen Shi'an met Chen Nan in mid-May, and Liu Fangzhou at the end of May. Did this brain evolve within half a month, or did it evolve long before he and Chen Nan met? No matter which one it is, the effect of the ability on the evolution of zombies has greatly exceeded Shen Shi'an's prediction.
That's why he slammed on the brakes in surprise.
Chen Nan held his head, not knowing what to do: "Brother Shen, then shall I infuse Jiamu's abilities in the future?" According to what Fang Zhou said, Jiamu had already mutated when they arrived in Lin'an County, so wouldn't he And input at least one month's ability into the mutated Jiamu? He has seen the horror of supernatural zombies with his own eyes. What if Jiamu also becomes a supernatural zombie and summons a group of zombies to attack the team
At that time, does he have to choose between Brother Shen and the others and Jiamu? Brother Shen was kind to him in saving his life, he could never have just watched Brother Shen in danger; but what about Jiamu, can he get his hands on Jiamu
Chen Nan fell into a fierce battle between heaven and man.
Shen Shi'an pondered for a moment, and said to Chen Nan: "Keep losing. We currently know two ways to evolve zombies, one is supernatural powers, and the other is autonomous evolution among zombie groups—that is to say, even if you don't lose, they will It may also evolve into a supernatural zombie."
This was a risk he had assumed by default when he agreed to take Chen Nan on the road together, but from another perspective, it was also a valuable opportunity to study supernatural zombies.
Supernatural zombies are undoubtedly one of the biggest challenges that everyone will face in the next journey. The more zombies gather, the more terrifying the combat effectiveness of supernatural zombies will be. And they know too little about supernatural zombies, Chen Jiamu can just become the perfect channel for them to "know each other"—
Even if he evolved into a supernatural zombie, he was still just a zombie head completely under control, unable to bite or run away, and he could turn out flowers with just one head.
"If the situation is really critical," Shen Shi'an looked at Chen Nan: "For the sake of everyone's safety, I may have to put him in the space." Put it in a box and lock it, and then put it in the safe.
Chen Nan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't kill Jiamu, he nodded immediately: "No problem."
Shen Shi'an looked at Liu Fangzhou again: "Strictly monitor Jiamu's situation from now on, and remind us in time of any changes."
Liu Fangzhou said ok: "It's on me."
Shen Shi'an glanced at the zombie head held in Chen Nan's arms, whose skin and flesh were almost indistinguishable from a living person, turned around and restarted the off-road vehicle.
Time flies by on the journey. The special training received by Chen Nan and Liu Fangzhou has achieved remarkable results. Tao Yuan couldn't help expressing his amazement to Shen Shi'an in private: "The training results of the two of them in a week are much better than when I trained recruits for a month."
This result was expected by Shen Shi'an. Firstly, after the apocalypse, the physique of the survivors has evolved greatly, which has been reflected in Li Cheng and the richest man Miao in the library; secondly, since the spring was restored, Shen Shian will add spiritual spring water every time he cooks, including drinking water Also added a lot.
Under the effect of two phases, it is no wonder that the training effect is not good.
In addition to the most basic physical training, Tao Yuan also conducted combat physical training. Shen Shi'an joined Shen Xun in this part, and he felt that he benefited a lot. The lethality of close combat increased by at least 30%.
Liu Fangzhou still wanted to practice shooting, but Shen Shi'an ruthlessly rejected it—he had both guns and bullets. The batch of weapons brought out from the administrative building of the cigarette factory was originally intended to be returned to Niu Quan and the others together with the supplies, but The soldiers didn't want it, "Mr. Shen, you brought it out, and it should belong to you. We have taken advantage of all the supplies. Besides, the deputy captain sent the captain home. , I don’t know how dangerous it is, you need these more than we do.”
The other party insisted, and Shen Shi'an did not refuse. But obviously these ammunition should not be wasted on Liu Fangzhou's two practice targets. Zombies must be hit in the head to die. It is estimated that the ammunition will have to be used up before the two of them practice the sharpshooter's accuracy. These things can only be of maximum value if they are placed in Tao Yuan's hands.
But even though they couldn't practice the target, Shen Shi'an still asked Tao Yuan to teach them the most basic method of using guns - they can't kill zombies, but they can defend against people. It may not necessarily play an unexpected role at critical moments.
Not only did their physical fitness improve rapidly, but Chen Nan's abilities also increased a lot. Shen Shi'an cut off a branch with complete aerial roots from the mutated green radish in the space and handed it to Chen Nan. Currently, one person and one plant get along well, which can not only give birth to vines for the most basic binding, but under Shen Shi'an's inspiration, Chen Nan Nan also discovered that the plant can be shrunk back to its original size by recycling the ability, so that not only can it be carried around, but it can also be used multiple times, giving it enough time and opportunity to develop its ability to control the same plant.
Liu Fangzhou's ability has also been greatly improved. The farthest sensing distance has been expanded from 1000 meters to 2000 meters. When the ability diverges in a circle, the distribution of life within a radius of one kilometer is under control.
On the tenth day after Tao Yuan joined the team, Shen Shi'an was stunned for a moment while looking at the map while sitting in the back seat of the car, Shen Xun noticed it immediately, leaned over and squeezed his head under Shen Shi'an's arm, looking up at him: "An'an? "
Shen Shi'an held the pen and drew a circle on the map at the current location of the people, and seemed to exhale lightly, and said to Shen Xun with a smile: "We have completed half of the journey."
The virus broke out on April 3, 2019. On May 6, he took Shen Xun to leave City H and officially set off. Until today, on June 26, 2019, they finally completed half of the way to the capital.
The excitement quickly spread to each other in the carriage and boiled over. For Chen Nan, whose destination was also the capital city, this was really exciting news: the moment he embarked on the journey with Jiamu on his back, he never thought I can't believe I can go this far.
"Celebrate!" Liu Fangzhou cheered and began to knock on the basin: "Let's have a good celebration tonight!"
Shen Xun's eyes lit up: "Eat delicious food!"
"BBQ! Whole Goose Feast!"
"I want to eat goose wings! The sizzling and oily ones can't fit on a grill!"
"I want to eat goose eggs! Open an opening, sprinkle with seasonings and mix well, add some sausage, ham and bamboo shoots, and roast them on the fire until they are burnt." Sizzling.
"The foie gras is also delicious, bake it until it is half-ripe and add some red wine..."
"Vegetarian dishes can also be grilled, bacon wrapped enoki mushrooms, garlic grilled eggplant, charcoal grilled corn, by the way, Brother Nan, we have leek seeds, grilled leeks are also great!"
"There are also roasted sweet potatoes and roasted marshmallows!"
"Couple with ice-cold beer and cola, a sip of meat and a sip of wine, ah..."
Four hours later, under the gentle night breeze, two bonfires were ignited, and the long table next to it was filled with ingredients. The grease dripped onto the firewood, and there was a sound of "sizzling", and a flame with a burnt fragrance rose.
The five people sat on the ground around the tablecloth, and raised their beers or drinks in unison: "Cheers!"
Shen Shi'an drank half of the cold beer in his hand in one go, and felt that the pores of his whole body opened up instantly and gave a jolt.
The night is beautiful tonight. Although the moon cannot be seen, there are countless stars shining in the upside-down sky, and the tiny rays of light are dazzling. If you stare at it for a long time, even your soul will be sucked in together.
Shen Xun put a piece of foie gras to his mouth: "An'an eat!"
Shen Shi'an brought him a piece of roasted wing: "You eat it too."
Gou Zijing immediately smiled so happily that he could see his teeth but not his eyes.
"Ahem," Liu Fangzhou cleared his throat, then stood up holding the beer can, "I would like to toast to brother Shen first, brother Shen saved my life, guided me and took care of me along the way, and taught me a lot Things. If it wasn’t for Brother Shen, I still don’t know whether I’m alive or dead, where would I eat bran swallowed vegetables—no, maybe I don’t even have to eat bran.”
Chen Nan followed closely behind: "Brother Chen, he not only saved my life, but he saved my life more than once. If it wasn't for Brother Chen, I wouldn't be here at all."
Tao Yuan also raised his glass: "Regard Shi An, he not only saved my life, but also saved more than two hundred of my comrades-in-arms, as well as people who are more important than my own life."
Shen Xun also joined in the fun, holding Coke high: "Respect An'an, An'an is the best in the world!"
Shen Shi'an rubbed the child's head twice, clinked glasses with everyone in turn, drank the remaining beer in one gulp, and then opened another can.
He stood up, his legs wrapped in camouflage trousers and hiking boots were slender and straight, with a strong bonfire in front of him and thousands of stars behind him.
A clear voice resounded in the wind: "The half of the road ahead is not easy, but we have made it through; the road behind will only be more difficult, but nothing can stop us. On the day we arrive at the destination, I hope Everyone can witness it with their own eyes. Respect to everyone, and respect to the second half of our journey.”
"Respect everyone, respect for the second half of our journey!"
"The first half has already been gone, can the second half be far behind!"
"Unity is strength. As long as we are united, there is nothing we cannot do."
"Zombies are nothing, I'm not even more powerful..." Liu Fangzhou became anxious as soon as he finished speaking harshly: "Oh, why are you eating so fast? Leave me a piece of the goose neck. Brother Shen's stewed goose neck is good! have eaten… "
Chen Nan deliberately teased him: "Who made you patronize and shout slogans, you would be a fool if you don't eat so much delicious food quickly, come to Brother Tao Yuan to share half of it with you."
Shen Xun bared his teeth to protect the food: "The cotton candy is mine!"
"Don't, Brother Xun, let me have a taste..."
"This grilled sausage tastes good too, I'll bake two more..."
"An'an, you have a taste of this delicious..."
Amidst the laughter, the celebratory dinner lasted for more than two hours before it came to an end. Probably because he drank a little too much, Shen Shi'an fell into a deep sleep.
Until a scream that pierced his eardrum woke him up from his deep sleep.
"Ahhhhhh help! Brother Shen help!!!!"
Shen Shi'an opened his eyes instantly, quickly said "stay here" to the child, and jumped out of the car with a long sword in his hand.
The tent where Chen Nan and Liu Fangzhou were sleeping was rickety, as if someone was flinging around in all directions, and Liu Fangzhou's screams came from the tent.
Tao Yuan, who heard the movement, also got out of his tent, and before the two rushed over to investigate the situation, a black shadow suddenly appeared from the top of the tent in the hazy starlight, making a "buzzing" sound and turning half a circle, It happened to fly in the direction of Shen Shi'an.
Shen Shi'an's eyes froze, and his left hand drew out the sword at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye. The five senses instantly captured the target position in the darkness, and the snow-blue sword light suddenly lit up, just splitting the black shadow in two.
"Puff."
A stream of liquid came out of the black shadow with a strong smell of blood. Shen Shi'an just dodged in a flash, but Tao Yuan, who was behind him, couldn't dodge. Unexpectedly, he was sprayed all over his face. With a fist: "Is this, blood?"
It was still late at night, and the surrounding light was too dark, so Shen Shian took out a flashlight from the space with a thought, turned it on, and took a photo of the place where the shadow fell:
Only then did he realize that the thing he had cut in half turned out to be a mosquito the size of a fist.
The mosquito was cut off from the abdomen by the sword energy, and it was obvious that it could no longer survive, but the slender limbs and antennae were still trembling, the scales and patterns on the body surface were clearly visible, and the most terrifying mouthparts were like sharp steel The needles reflect a cold light similar to metal under the light.
The screaming in the tent stopped after the mosquitoes flew out, "Have you left? Did you run away?" "I didn't see it, it seems to have flown out." "What the hell is that!" Tao Yuan opened the zipper of the tent, and Chen Nan staggered out with Liu Fangzhou supported, his face full of shock.
Shen Shi'an immediately stood up and walked over: "How is it? Is anyone injured?"
"I'm fine," Chen Nan said, "but Fang Zhou was bitten by that mosquito...is that a mosquito? Was bitten by that mosquito."
Shen Shi'an has already seen it: on Liu Fangzhou's left forearm, there is a big red and swollen bump as if stung by something. The skin on the swollen bump and the surrounding skin is red and purple, and it looks very scary. .
Liu Fangzhou was in pain and itching, and he stretched out his hand to grab it, but was quickly stopped by Shen Shi'an, who quickly took out a bottle of spiritual spring water from the space: "Drink it, immediately." Then he took disinfectant and anti-itch ointment to apply on the swelling : "What happened? How did the mosquito fly in?"
"I don't know. I slept soundly. My arm suddenly hurt. As soon as I opened my eyes, I vaguely saw a ghost the size of an orange lying on my arm. It was too scary. Damn, is that really a mosquito? ? How can a mosquito be so big! Where did it go now? I can't sense it anymore, grass, how much blood did I suck while I was sleeping, if I caught it... "
Liu Fangzhou's voice stopped abruptly, and his face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Shen Shi'an's mind flashed an unknown: "What's wrong?"
"...car, car, car, car," Liu Fangzhou trembled twice and finally found his voice: "Get in the car! Get in the car, everyone! Tens of thousands of mosquitoes are flying over!!"
Half a minute later, in the off-road vehicle with the windows closed, a group of five people witnessed a large cloud of giant mosquitoes smashing down like hail amidst the deafening "buzzing" roar.
