The orange-red magma rushed more than 20 meters into the air like a fountain, and the bright light was so hot that it could be seen hundreds of meters away. A few seconds later, the magma fell back, and the extremely high temperature instantly melted and destroyed the objects it touched, the smoke and dust billowed, and the air was full of burnt burnt smell.
"Oh, I'm going," Xiong Manshan was still in shock, "I was almost cremated directly."
Xu Ge was puzzled: "How does Xiaohong know where we are? Could it sense the location of other people just like Fang Zhou?"
Liu Fangzhou immediately shook his head: "Impossible, its light ball has only one color, it is definitely a single-line ability."
"It's probably because of me." Chen Nan's face was still a little pale, looking at the half-burned devil vine in his palm, with wilting branches and leaves, he felt very distressed: "When I spawned the devil vine and approached it, it opened a vine under the ground. Channel, it should have found us based on that channel."
The park where they landed at this time is not too far from the roof where they were a moment ago. If you look closely, you can find that the magma did not rush directly to the roof from the inside of the building, but from the north side of the building near the road. There is a flower bed, which is the entrance for the devil vine to drill into the ground.
Tao Yuan looked solemn: "According to this, doesn't it mean that the attack range of this supernatural zombie can reach one kilometer away?"
"Grass, this is too strong."
"Then it's like carrying a mobile cannon with you, and you can attack people wherever you see them. How can you fight them?"
Shen Shi'an didn't speak, and walked a few steps along the place where he was standing thoughtfully, and then put his hands on the ground: "Touch and see."
Liu Fangzhou knelt down and touched the ground according to his words: "Hey! It's hot! Is it because of magma?"
Immediately, he reacted: "No, the place where the magma rushed up is several hundred meters away from here, and the soil doesn't conduct heat, so why is it hot here?"
"We now know that Xiaohong's ability is to eject magma," Shen Shi'an said, "that is to say, it can either release extremely high temperature to heat the underground rock layer to a magma state, or it can directly attract the magma under the earth's crust to create its own magma. Use it. No matter what kind it is, the more magma it has, the better it is. If you were Xiaohong and wanted to exert your maximum combat power, what would you choose to do?"
After thinking for a while, Chen Nan first said: "Accumulate magma pools underground!" Both his and Xiaohong's abilities are relatively restricted by geological conditions. If he wants to exert his maximum combat power, the first condition must be to find a large area Soil land, the more fertile the better.
Shen Shi'an nodded: "That's right. Didn't Ark say before that the supernatural zombies are always fixed in the same range and hardly move? This is not common for zombies, because zombies never get tired. So I guess it chooses It is said that there is a reason for guarding a certain position, and near that position, the depths of the ground are estimated to be full of boiling magma."
Xiong Manshan subconsciously took two steps back, the more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and he stepped on a stone pile on tiptoe.
Tao Yuan understood Shen Shi'an's meaning: "In other words, the reason why Xiaohong can attack one kilometer away is because the magma under the ground has already been prepared?"
"Yes, its attack range can indeed reach one kilometer, but it can only reach this level in this area." The supernatural zombie Xiaohong is indeed powerful, but not so powerful that it cannot be challenged.
Liu Fangzhou raised his hand: "I know, this is called home field advantage! The fire ability works better in places with higher temperatures!"
"right."
The young man immediately felt a sense of pride of being praised for answering the question correctly, but he was not finished yet, and suddenly became anxious: "No, there are a large number of zombies coming in this direction." Most likely, it was Xiaohong who wanted to confirm whether they were dead or not. .
Shen Shi'an glanced at the sunset in the west, and took the off-road vehicle out of the space with a thought, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's leave the city for a night and have a long-term plan tomorrow."
Looking at Xiong Manshan again: "Thank you for running in front of the car to prevent zombies or cars from blocking the road."
Xiong Manshan rolled up his sleeves: "Okay! Don't worry if you leave it to me."
According to Liu Fangzhou's induction, Shen Shi'an chose a path with the fewest zombies. With the help of Xiong Manshan clearing the road, the off-road vehicle drove out of Shannan City without any hindrance, and finally stopped at a gas station five kilometers west of Shannan City.
After clearing out the convenience store at the gas station, a group of seven people walked in and used it as a resting place for tonight. Thanks to Xiong Manshan's miraculous physique, Shen Shi'an replenished a lot of supplies such as gasoline and diesel, but he didn't see any food.
After eating and drinking enough, everyone sat around a low table, eating watermelon and discussing how to fight tomorrow's battle.
Chen Nan held a teacup in his arms. In the teacup was half a cup of spiritual spring water given to him by Shen Shi'an, and the root system of the devil vine was soaking in it. With the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, the devil vine recovered very quickly, and a new stubble had grown from the burnt fracture. At this speed, it would only take a few hours at most to fully recover.
The condition of the devil vine improved, and Chen Nan seemed much more relaxed: "I think the tactics proposed by Brother Shen today are still feasible. With such a large magma pool created by Xiaohong, it is probably impossible to leave the lair too far away easily. If it can carry out In the case of a long-distance attack, the best way to eliminate it is to rely on Tao Yuan to snipe from a long distance. The most troublesome thing now is that we still don't know what Xiaohong looks like."
"I know," Tao Yuan said, "I saw it."
Everyone looked at him together: "Really?!"
Tao Yuan nodded, "When it launched its ability to attack, it squatted down and pressed its hand on the ground. I happened to see it from the window." It's a pity that Xiong Manshan carried him to the park before he could pull the trigger inside.
"As long as you know what it looks like!" Liu Fangzhou slapped his hands excitedly: "I can sense where Xiaohong is, so as long as Brother Tao Yuan finds the commanding height, it will be all right?"
"Also make sure that Xiaohong is outside, or there is a window where she can be seen." Tao Yuan added.
Shen Shi'an asked Xiong Manshan: "If the supernatural zombie manipulates the magma to attack again, can you still send people to a safe place?"
"No problem," Xiong Manshan nodded, "as long as everyone stays within five hundred meters from me, it's not safe if it's too far away."
Shen Shi'an thought for a while: "In this case, we will divide into two groups tomorrow: Chen Nan, Xu Ge, Xiong Manshan, and Xunxun will be Group A. The four of you are responsible for attracting the attention of supernatural zombies. It is best to get them out of the building." Lead out; Fang Zhou, Tao Yuan and I are in Group B, responsible for squatting on the commanding heights and assisting Tao Yuan in sniping."
"No!" Shen Xun immediately disagreed, and plunged into Shen Shi'an's arms and hugged his neck: "I want to be with An An!"
Shen Shi'an rubbed his head twice, and patiently persuaded: "There are too many zombies in Shannan City, and the abilities of supernatural zombies are too powerful. In case of an emergency, at least one person in each group must be able to guarantee that the others Evacuate safely." Tao Yuan has no supernatural powers, and Ark's actual combat capabilities are insufficient, so someone must stay behind to take care of him, and Shen Shi'an can take both of them into the space when necessary.
"Then I'll take care of it with you, and the other group will have Xiong Manshan!"
"The task of group A is to attract the attention of the supernatural zombies, and they are bound to withstand all the attacks of the supernatural zombies and the zombie army. This task is very difficult and extremely dangerous. I don't trust the three of them. I only trust you." Shen Shi'an held the child's paw and squeezed it: "Can you help me complete this task?"
Gou Zijing was full of confusion: "But in case An'an is in danger..."
"Aren't you clear about my ability? Or do you not believe me?"
"I believe! Of course I believe! An An'an is the best in the world!" Gou Zijing hesitated for a while, and finally nodded: "Then I will go to Group A, An An, you must be careful, Lagougou promises."
Shen Shi'an hooked his little finger: "The pull hook guarantees."
Holding the melon, Liu Fangzhou watched in amazement: Brother Shen's methods of coaxing Brother Xun are really one set.
The general battle plan was determined, and everyone discussed and perfected the details repeatedly. Shen Shi'an repeatedly emphasized: "Remember, as long as the group A attracts Xiaohong, it will be considered a success. There is no need to head-to-head with the zombie army. Everything is based on your own safety. If the situation is out of control , don't hesitate to evacuate immediately." You Qi stared at Shen Xun and said, "Don't take any risks."
Everyone nodded: "Understood."
Shen Shi'an looked around for a week: "Then, I wish you great success tomorrow, come on!"
"come on!"
"Must win!"
"Just do it big!"
"I want to dig out the crystal nucleus of the supernatural zombie and give it to An An!"
"..."
Nothing happened overnight.
At around 8:00 a.m. the next day, I was on a nineteen-story building near the third ring road in Shannan City.
Liu Fangzhou drew the location of Xiaohong on the map—a high-end restaurant. Tao Yuan set up the gun and looked around: "I didn't see it, it must be indoors."
Shen Shi'an said to the communicator: "The supernatural zombie is in the house, start to move."
The optimal distance for the communicator is within 500 meters, and the members of Group A are far away, so the voice from the earphones is slightly blurred, but it can still be heard clearly: "Got it!"
Since the goal is to attract supernatural zombies, there is no need to hide and be careful. Xiong Manshan pulled out the fuse of the grenade, raised his arm and threw it towards Xiaohong's hiding place.
The grenade he threw was one of the materials Shen Shi'an obtained from the garrison at the base of the cigarette factory. After formulating the battle plan last night, he asked Tao Yuan to urgently teach others how to use it. The reason why Xiong Manshan was chosen to throw it was because of his great strength, and because of his fast speed, even if he made a mistake and exploded before throwing it, he could dodge it in time.
The action of throwing the bomb was very standard, but it was a pity that the aim was a bit off, and it was not thrown into the restaurant where Xiaohong was, but on the roof of a nearby shop.
But the deafening explosion still achieved an attractive effect.
Tao Yuan remained motionless like a sculpture, with his right eye close to the scope: "Xiaohong didn't come out."
Shen Shi'an held up a telescope, and after the smoke and dust caused by the explosion cleared in his field of vision, he could clearly see the entrance of the restaurant.
It's true that Xiaohong didn't come out, but the group of nearby zombies suddenly started to commotion, swaying back and forth in groups, as if they were looking for something.
Liu Fangzhou said: "There are zombies surrounding Brother Xun and the others!"
There were not many zombies attacking in the first batch. Chen Nan spawned the main vine of the devil vine to a thickness of more than one meter, surrounded the crowd as a barrier, and more than a dozen thinner branches sprang out from the main vine, binding the zombies around their waists. be solid;
Xu Ge used the devil vine as a barrier, and with both hands firing supernatural powers, the two-meter-long flame swept out, and immediately some zombies were burned off their heads;
Xiong Manshan was holding two stabbing sticks, and his speed was so fast that he could hardly see anyone. In the blink of an eye, a large number of zombies fell down;
Shen Xun carried the Tang Dao and jumped out of the range of the devil vine to chop casually. Shen Shi'an observed it carefully for a few minutes—at present, it seems that the zombies still won't actively attack him.
Before the second wave of zombies arrived, there was a sudden slight fluctuation on the ground, and Shen Shi'an immediately yelled at the communicator: "Let's go!"
Less than three seconds after the voice fell, a stream of hot magma with a diameter of more than one meter thick suddenly burst out from where Shen Xun and the others were originally.
Under the scorching sun, the magma seemed even more terrifying. The almost terrifying temperature distorted the air one after another. overflow flow.
And there was no sign of Shen Xun and the other four at the same place.
"There!" Liu Fangzhou also held a telescope in his hand, and quickly shouted: "Brother Shen, look to the right, the entrance of the coffee shop about 400 meters away!"
Shen Shi'an turned the camera around according to his words, and he was relieved to find that Gou Zijing was safe and sound.
"Has the supernatural zombie come out yet?"
Tao Yuan: "No."
Liu Fangzhou said: "It's still barely moving in the restaurant. Tsk, doesn't this guy wonder what happened outside?"
Regardless of whether Xiaohong is very curious or not, the action must continue.
Xiong Manshan brought a total of three grenades, the first one didn't work, so he quickly threw the second one.
This time it was accurate enough, and it was thrown directly into the window on the second floor of the restaurant. The flames blazed and the glass flew across, and more than half of the restaurant's walls made of bricks and stones mixed with wood fell down, and the rumbling sound was astonishing.
It would be great if he could directly blow up the supernatural zombies to death, but Liu Fangzhou quickly shook his head in disappointment: "It's still alive, the red light is dazzling." And taking advantage of the billowing smoke and dust from the explosion, he ran into another restaurant opposite .
Shen Shi'an and the others had to adjust their positions. After Tao Yuan remounted his gun, the members of Group A had already started fighting against the zombie group again.
"Brother Shen," Xiong Manshan's wheezing voice came from the communicator: "There is one last hand left... Do you want to throw it away?"
"Don't throw it away for now, try to get as close as possible to the restaurant where the supernatural zombie is hiding, and see if you can force it out."
After evading two more magma attacks, Xiong Manshan and the others were only two hundred meters away from the supernatural zombies, and the density of zombies around the four had reached a terrifying level.
"I can't go any further," Xiong Manshan said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to run out in time if I encounter lava."
Shen Shi'an frowned, thinking about what to do next, when Xu Ge exclaimed: "Look where you are going!"
Shen Shi'an was startled, and immediately pointed the camera at the location of the four of them, only to see Shen Xun jumping out of the protective range of the devil vine with the Tang knife on his shoulders, wandering through the crowd of zombies as if he had entered an uninhabited land, Quickly approach the restaurant where the supernatural zombies are.
"Shen Xun, come back!"
Chen Nan's voice came back from the earphone: "Brother Shen, he didn't bring a communicator."
"Grass, it's moving!" Before Shen Shi'an could grit his teeth, Liu Fangzhou suddenly called out, "Xiaohong is moving!"
Tao Yuan held onto the handle of the gun, and said in a calm voice, "I saw its feet."
Within the field of vision of the telescope, Shen Xun could be clearly seen stopping outside the steps of the restaurant, but after a while, a figure slowly emerged from under the eaves of the restaurant. And at the moment when the figure appeared, the army of zombies around the restaurant, who had turned a blind eye to Shen Xun, suddenly rushed towards the dog spirit like a beast that had just smelled the scent of prey.
Shen Shi'an squeezed the binoculars tightly: the supernatural zombies will indeed attack Xun Xun!
He suddenly turned to Tao Yuan: "Can you aim?"
"No way," Tao Yuan put his finger on the trigger, his eyes remained motionless, "I can only aim at the chest, and the head is blocked by the eaves."
A layer of cold sweat quickly seeped out of Shen Shi'an's palm, and he raised the binoculars to continue observing: the supernatural zombies seemed to be very interested in Shen Xun, so that the zombies within the range of vision continued to move towards the location of Gou Zijing Coming over, even Xiong Manshan and others on the other side couldn't care about it.
"What's going on?" Chen Nan said, "Suddenly all the zombies have withdrawn!"
Shen Shi'an stood against the light, his body was as vigorous and straight as a cedar tree, but his lips were pale because of his pursed lips too hard. The more anxious the heart became, the faster the heartbeat became, and the colder the expression became: "Xiong Manshan, are you sure you can bring Xun Xun out now?"
Xiong Manshan sounded very embarrassed: "There are too many zombies ahead, one layer after another, it is impossible to rush through."
Shen Shi'an quickly made up his mind, "Fang Zhou, you and Tao Yuan stay here, I'll go..."
Before he finished speaking, the vision of the telescope in the corner of his eye suddenly changed: the figure standing under the eaves of the restaurant suddenly squatted down and pressed his hand on the ground.
Tao Yuan said that when the supernatural zombies are about to attack, they will press their hands on the ground.
The pitch-black pupils shrank to the extreme in an instant, and a smear of blood flashed across Shen Shi'an's eyes, and he was about to jump off the roof of the building. It's gone! The supernatural zombie is dead! The ball of light has disappeared! Brother Tao Yuan, you are so awesome!!"
Shen Shi'an raised the binoculars again: at the entrance of the restaurant, a supernatural zombie rolled down the steps, and there was a blood hole the size of a marble between his eyebrows; a stream of magma sprang out from the ground, but it only traveled more than ten centimeters before falling back down like powerless , and soon solidified into a puddle of dust on the road; the supernatural zombies were completely dead, and the zombies that had surrounded Shen Xun suddenly seemed to have lost their target, wandering around and seeing him as nothing.
The mission was successful.
Ten minutes later, everyone cheered and assembled downstairs at the sniper point.
Holding a zombie crystal nucleus, Shen Xun ran towards Shen Shi'an quickly, his dark green eyes were full of excitement: "An'an, here you are!"
Shen Shi'an took the crystal nucleus in his hand, raised it slightly and pointed it at the sun.
It was a fiery red crystal nucleus, about twice the size of the cyan crystal nucleus he obtained in Lin'an County, like a perfectly cut diamond with countless facets, shining brightly in the sun, making people dazzled fan.
"It's so beautiful!" Liu Fangzhou circled around the crystal nucleus a few times: "This is more beautiful than any gemstone! Is it Miss Xu?"
Xu Ge nodded, his expression full of amazement: "It's very beautiful." It's almost unimaginable that such a beautiful thing can be bred in the mind of a zombie, a man-eating monster.
It was the first time Xiong Manshan saw the supernatural zombie crystal nucleus, and he took it from Shen Shi'an's hand and looked at it repeatedly: "Good guy, this is almost as big as an egg."
"The crystal nucleus of an ordinary mutated zombie is about the size of a marble. The crystal nucleus of a supernatural zombie that Brother Shen got in Lin'an County is about the size of a pigeon egg, and this one is a little bigger." Chen Nan concluded: "It seems that the higher the level of the zombie, the more brain The bigger the crystal nucleus in it."
"Would there be a crystal nucleus as big as a head? Squeeze out all the brains?" Liu Fangzhou wondered.
Chen Nan rolled his eyes: "Even if a zombie can grow a crystal nucleus as big as a head, can you get it?"
That's right. The boy scratched his face: just this one, which is not as big as an egg, almost killed him.
After everyone was laughing and watching, Tao Yuan asked, "Shi'an, what should we do with this crystal nucleus?"
Shen Shi'an thought for a while, then handed the crystal nucleus to Xu Ge: "Here, absorb it and have a look."
Xu Ge held the crystal nucleus at a loss: "Give it to me? How can it be done? The supernatural crystal nucleus is so precious, and this crystal nucleus was obtained by everyone's hard work. The position of the ark's induction, the zombie killed by brother Tao Yuan, Chen Nan almost destroyed the Devil Vine. Brother Xiong saved us several times. Brother Shen, you led us to fight, and Xun Xun. It was thanks to Xun Xun that you were able to attract the zombies. The contribution of any one of you is better than that of Xun Xun. I'm old, so I shouldn't give it to me, no, I can't take it."
Shen Xun subconsciously puffed up his chest when he heard his name, and kept sweeping at Shen Shi'an from the corner of his eye.
Shen Shi'an ignored him, and handed back the crystal nucleus that Xu Ge stuffed back: "The distribution of supernatural crystal nucleus is not rewarded according to the contribution value, but to adapt to the situation. Among all of us, you are the only one. The ability of the fire system, this crystal nucleus can only be used to its maximum benefit if you absorb it. We are a group, and we should cooperate with each other to pursue greater benefits. Don't worry, if I meet a crystal nucleus that suits me in the future, I will absolutely I won’t be polite to everyone.”
"That's right," Liu Fangzhou said: "Sister Xu, please absorb it quickly, maybe the ability can evolve!"
Chen Nan nodded: "No one is more suitable for this crystal nucleus than you."
Xiong Manshan's voice was like a bell: "As Brother Shen said, since the supernatural crystal nucleus is so precious, it must be given to someone, and there is nothing wrong with it! If you encounter any zombies with speed abilities or strength abilities in the future, you will be counted. If you want to rob me, you won't let me out."
Tao Yuan smiled and said, "Try it quickly, maybe it will produce unexpected effects."
Everyone earnestly persuaded, Xu Ge stopped coddling, found a place on the first floor and sat down cross-legged, "Then shall I start?"
The absorption of supernatural crystal nuclei is much slower than ordinary crystal nuclei. Xu Ge closed his eyes, and the skin all over his body flashed red light due to the process of absorbing the supernatural power. At the same time, the fiery red crystal nucleus faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally became completely transparent, completely turning into a Flour.
A few minutes later, Xu Ge opened his eyes and stood up from the ground, trying to squeeze his fist.
Everyone gathered around: "How is it? How do you feel?"
"It's very different." Xu Ge's face showed a bit of surprise, "It's completely different from before."
Liu Fangzhou rushed over impatiently: "Has the ability evolved? Is it more powerful than before?"
"I'm not sure yet."
"Go, go, find a place with a lot of zombies and try it!"
Not far from the tall building, there is a square with hundreds of zombies wandering around.
Xu Ge walked to the edge of the square and turned to look at his teammates: "If the result is not as expected, don't be disappointed."
"No," Chen Nan said, "Sister Xu, be careful, zombies are rushing over."
Xu Ge took a deep breath, raised his hand to face the rushing zombies, and waved out a supernatural power.
A purple fire dragon more than ten meters long burst out from the palm of the hand, the dragon's head roared and blazed, and with her as the center, it quickly circled across the entire square.
The flames have not yet dissipated, and the zombies in the square have all disappeared, and dazzling transparent crystal nuclei fell down on the ground.
