The effect of the zombie crystal nucleus of the same system on improving the ability is far beyond everyone's imagination. After absorbing Xiaohong's crystal nucleus, Xu Ge immediately became one of the most powerful members of the team. Relying on the great power of the purple fire dragon, he united six teammates and wiped out tens of thousands of zombies within a radius of one kilometer.
Shen Shi'an replenished a large amount of supplies and crystal nuclei into the space, and the group drove out of Shannan City without further delay and continued to gallop northward.
Because the effect of the supernatural crystal nucleus is too significant, its importance to supernatural beings is self-evident. Since then, Shen Shi'an and others have planned to attack three supernatural zombies successively. Two of them were successful, and the other one was dangerous because of the strange abilities of the supernatural zombies, and there were almost casualties, and finally had to give up.
In the two successful actions, one earth-type supernatural crystal nucleus, little yellow, and one wood-type supernatural crystal nucleus, little green, were obtained respectively. The little green was given to Chen Nan, and the little yellow was temporarily put away by Shen Shi'an. He planned to trade with other people who possessed supernatural crystal nuclei after arriving in the capital, and exchanged them for a more suitable type of crystal nuclei for the team members to absorb, so as to exert the power of the crystal nuclei. maximum benefit.
In the twinkling of an eye, it was September, and the team grew rapidly through battle after battle. Xiong Manshan got rid of his reserve status and became a full-time member, while everyone was only one-sixth of the way to the capital.
At around three o'clock that afternoon, everyone arrived in a small city.
The city is empty, and there are obvious traces of being collected many times in the shops along the street. At this time, more than five months have passed since the outbreak of the virus, and the ridiculously high temperature in summer is still giving full play to its aftermath. The green plants in the city are going to two extremes, either withering and dying in the high temperature, or grabbing the only nutrients , grow wildly along the flower beds, roads, and wall gaps, weeds taller than the calf are everywhere, and the trees that can no longer be seen have increased their height several times, casting shadows all over the ground like covering the sky and blocking the sun .
Looking up, it was all barren.
Xiong Manshan stood on the empty road and looked around, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Before the end of the world, there were too many people, there were people everywhere, traffic jams could last for hours, and there were crowds of people in the shopping mall. Eating can starve people to death, and the May 11 holiday is even more terrifying. Going to a scenic spot can make you bald from head to toe. At that time, I thought, if I can snap my fingers and change people completely It would be great if it was gone, the world would be clean immediately. Who would have thought that when the end of the world comes, more than half of the people will be gone.”
He wanted to make people less, but that's not such a way to be less. It is not known how many people are still alive in the country.
Ugh. Xiong Manshan sighed again: It is said that things hurt their kind, he is really upset.
Liu Fangzhou patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be discouraged, there is hope for someone alive, and life will return to normal when the zombie virus vaccine is developed. By the way, Brother Xiong, do you drink water?" He took out his water glass.
Xiong Manshan waved his hands again and again: "No, no, thank you brother."
When Liu Fangzhou came to the front, Xiong Manshan was a few steps behind, leaned close to Shen Shi'an and said in a low voice, "Shi'an, let me ask you something."
"Ok?"
Xiong Manshan scratched his head: "Don't you feel that Fang Zhou seems to be too kind to me?"
Shen Shi'an looked at him: "Do you want him to scold you or beat you every day?"
"No, no, that's not what I mean." Xiong Manshan lowered his voice again: "Of course I am grateful for being kind to me, but Ark seems to be too kind to me—let me tell you this, I was in the middle of the night last night. I woke up once, and when I opened my eyes, I found Fang Zhou lying on the opposite side and staring at me. After meeting my eyes, he smiled at me twice, and asked me if I was hot or thirsty. Would you like to eat watermelon? This kind of thing is no longer It happened for the first time, usually when I was eating, resting, or chatting with everyone, I could always find him staring at me when I turned my head. You know that he is so creepy all of a sudden. I just I want to ask, do you know why he always stares at me?"
Shen Shi'an was silent, and then said: "Because I admire you."
Xiong Manshan blushed: "...Really?"
Shen Shi'an nodded: "Really. The more capable he is, the more he admires and wants to understand more deeply."
For example, it is more appropriate to start with anatomy.
Xiong Manshan happily ran to the front and hooked up with Liu Fangzhou. Liu Fangzhou stared at him innocently for a while, and swallowed sharply.
Shen Shi'an squeezed between his eyebrows: It's time to talk to the boy.
Shen Xun rushed into an electrical appliance store by the side of the road with a knife in his hand, and rushed out again a while later, holding a handful of crystal nuclei in his hand: "An'an, here you are!"
Shen Shi'an took the crystal nucleus and put it into the space.
Shen Xun licked his mouth, "An An, I'm thirsty~"
Shen Shi'an took out a bottle of water from the space and handed it to him.
Shen Xun blinked and blinked, "An'an, I'm hungry~"
Shen Shi'an took out another chicken leg from the space and handed it to him.
Shen Xun thought for a while, and took the initiative to hold his hand: "An'an, I'm so tired~"
Shen Shi'an bent down, put away Tang Dao and hugged him.
Give him what he wants, just don't talk to him.
Gou Zijing pursed his mouth, hugged his neck and rubbed it, and acted like a baby in a low voice; "An'an, I really know I was wrong."
Shen Shi'an didn't look sideways: "Where is it wrong?"
"I shouldn't take the risk of hitting Xiaohong alone, and make you worry about me."
"yes."
"Yes! But every time I fight zombies, I am obedient, and An An tells me to retreat, so I retreat..."
"Oh."
The child stared at his face: "Then are you still angry with me?"
"pregnancy."
"... When can I not be angry?"
"Wait until I'm not angry."
\"… \"
hum. Angry An An is so hard to coax.
Zombies rushed out from the dense jungle on both sides of the road. Chen Nan raised his hand and threw the devil vines out. The vines grew rapidly and wrapped the zombies tightly like a giant python preying on prey. The zombies twisted into limp blood scum.
"Have you noticed?" Chen Nan skillfully retracted the devil vine, looked at the others and said, "Usually when we walk together, zombies rarely attack Brother Tao Yuan first."
"Supernatural beings are more attractive to zombies." Tao Yuan pierced another zombie's skull with a thorn stick, and said while shaking off the blood from the thorn point.
This rule is not difficult to find, and it is still a good thing for him. The first task of sniping is to find the commanding heights and lurk quietly. The less zombies are interested in him, the more conducive it is for him to carry out a fatal blow silently.
"Hey," Xiong Manshan, who was walking in front, turned his head, "How do you say that zombies can tell who is a person with supernatural powers and who is not? You can't tell by eyes alone."
Chen Nan asked back: "Then how do you think they distinguish between survivors and the same kind?" Why can zombies never attack zombies
"According to the smell? Zombies rot and stink, and living people have the smell of meat?"
Shen Shi'an shook his head: "It's not by smell, I can confirm this."
When the virus first broke out, he, Wan Feng and others used the human specimens stored in the dissection room as bait to distract the zombie crowd in order to escort some of the medical masters and students of H city to the water auditorium.
Those human specimens had been soaked in formalin solution for at least half a year, and it was absolutely impossible to smell any other smells except for the pungent chemical smell. Therefore, the theory of zombies "identifying prey by smell" was completely unreasonable.
Xu Ge agrees with Shen Shi'an's point of view: "If the zombies attack the survivors because they don't smell like corpses, why don't they attack other animals? We also met a lot of poultry and livestock along the way, but we never saw any Zombies pounced on them."
Xiong Manshan touched his chin: "That's true. Why do you only bite us and not animals? Emotional human flesh is especially delicious?"
"There are still too many things we don't understand about zombies, such as how supernatural zombies control tens of thousands of ordinary zombies and convey orders to them in real time, all of which require specialized and systematic research experiments to demonstrate." After figuring out these things, the confrontation between survivors and zombies may be completely reversed.
Shen Shi'an pulled out his long sword and cut off a vine that was growing wildly blocking the road, and looked up at the sky: "It's still early, if we move fast, we should be able to reach the next county."
"Hey!" The team members immediately accelerated their pace.
Although Shen Shi'an never said it out loud, the closer he was to the capital, the more anxious he felt, and he had been hurrying on his way recently.
The players know what his anxiety is for and can empathize with it. You may not be able to do anything else, but you can still do it with your best efforts to match his footsteps.
The green environment in this city seems to be very good. There are trees everywhere. The more you go to the edge of the urban area, the more or less the surviving trees have mutated. The roots are intertwined and the branches are dense, blocking the view. , Walking in it is like walking through a primitive jungle.
Shen Shi'an stepped over a huge air root half a meter thick that jumped out of the ground, and Liu Fangzhou, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped: "Brother Shen, there is something ahead."
As soon as Shen Shi'an raised his hand, all the team members stopped in place, holding their weapons tightly. "Zombies?"
Liu Fangzhou stepped back lightly, and lowered his voice: "It's not a zombie, nor a survivor. I've never seen this kind of light group before—it seems to be some kind of animal?"
Chen Nan suddenly remembered something: "Brother Shen, is there a zoo near here?"
"Zoo?!" Xiong Manshan almost jumped up, but he covered his mouth tightly as soon as the first high-pitched syllable came out, and said in a low voice, "It's the kind of zoo with tigers, hippos and black bears? What if the animals inside have mutated?"
A mutated white goose can grow into a giraffe, a mutated mosquito can grow into a small ball, and what can a tiger and black bear grow into after mutating
Xiong Manshan was frightened by his own imagination, trembled all over, and subconsciously tiptoed to hide behind Shen Shi'an.
Liu Fangzhou was helpless: "Brother Xiong, aren't you a little too timid, you don't fit the personality of Brother Huaarm at all... here we come! Two light groups are running towards us!"
Before he finished speaking, he quickly rushed behind Shen Shi'an.
Xiong Manshan: "..." Yes, you are the only one with the courage.
Shen Shi'an put Shen Xun and his Tang Dao on the ground, and drew out the long sword with his backhand: "Everyone beware."
The results of these more than two months of training were immediately apparent: the seven people quickly positioned themselves according to their abilities - the melee fighters were at the front, the far fighters were at the rear, and they were fully alert and ready to go, watching the unknown creatures attack direction.
The surrounding area is extremely quiet, the sky is full of shadows of trees, and only the rustling of leaves can be heard in the wind. At a certain moment, there was a little more movement in the rushing sound.
Shen Shi'an clenched the hilt of his sword: "Here we come."
Shen Xun held the knife and bared two rows of small fangs, Chen Nan squatted down and put the devil vine on the ground, Liu Fangzhou tightly grasped the spear, Xiong Manshan raised two huge fists, Tao Yuan held the pistol in one hand With one hand on the stick at his waist, purple flames had faintly burst out from Xu Ge's palm—
Until the movement was getting closer and louder, and finally two figures rushed out from the thick bushes all of a sudden, raised their heads and roared at the crowd.
"… what?"
Xu Ge retracted the flame in his palm, stared at the two small things at his feet that were only the size of her palm, and opened his eyes wide: "This is... a lion?"
What a lion. It's just a miniature lion cub shrunk down hundreds of times.
It has a round head, a golden coat, and a long tail behind its buttocks. It rushes over fiercely and bites everyone's shoes. After biting for a long time, a few pinhole-sized small eyes and two wet saliva marks remained.
Liu Fangzhou pinched the nape of his neck and picked up one: "Oh, it's still a male and a female."
Xu Ge couldn't bear to hug the other one long ago: "This is too cute!"
"Beware of being bitten," Tao reminded, "it is a lion after all, even if it gets smaller, its teeth and claws are still sharp."
Xu Ge nodded and stroked the lion's fur back and forth: Human beings seem to be naturally irresistible to furry and small balls. After becoming the size of a kitten, even the sharp minions suddenly looked soft and cute. "Ah, the ears can still move!"
How can there be such a cute creature! !
Chen Nan couldn't help but walked over to touch it a few times: "I seem to be hungry, brother Shen, do we still have meat?"
Shen Shi'an withdrew his long sword and took out a small piece of mutated goose meat from the space. The two little things smelled the meat, and immediately made a fuss about getting off Liu Fangzhou and Xu Singer. After being put on the ground, they flicked their tails and ran to Shen Shi'an's feet, holding his boots with their front legs, and raised their heads. He yelled, it sounded like he was being coquettish.
Shen Shi'an tore off two fingernail-sized pieces, fed one piece, took the two little things away and swallowed them quickly, and continued to raise his head after eating, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Two bites.
Shen Shi'an couldn't help smiling, and raised his hands to rub his heads.
Gou Zijing, who didn't take it seriously at first, suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis, raised his arms to block Shen Shi'an, and bared his teeth viciously at the little lion: "Aww!!"
The two little creatures trembled all over, bared their teeth reluctantly and groaned twice, backed up while tucking their tails, turned their heads and ran back to Xu Ge and the others' feet.
Liu Fangzhou happened to be staring at it with greedy eyes: "Brother Shen, let me feed, let me feed!"
Shen Shi'an stood up and gave him the meat, and let the child hug his leg tightly, put his hands on his chest and watch the lion cub eat.
Chen Nanqi said: "Didn't the animals mutate and become bigger? It turns out that there are still smaller ones."
Xiong Manshan also leaned over, "Look at how happy these two little things are, I'm afraid I'm starving. I don't know how they survived for these few months."
"Perhaps some of its prey have also become smaller? Or it can only eat bugs and grasshoppers." Liu Fangzhou was a little distressed, and secretly tore two big pieces.
Tao Yuan couldn't hold it back, and stretched out his hand to tease the two cubs while they were eating, and then thought of a question: "If animals can become bigger or smaller after being exposed to the virus, then humans are also animals. Have you ever seen anyone change in size?" Neither zombies nor survivors.
"You can think of it this way. Those smaller than humans have become bigger, and those larger than humans have become smaller. Maybe we humans have also changed, but it has become the same size as before, so it can't be seen." Xiong Manshan said casually. .
He does not mean that. Shen Shi'an and the rest of his teammates looked at each other, and for some reason suddenly felt an indescribable strange feeling from the bottom of their hearts:
Is the variation in animal size really based on human beings
The two cubs ate meat very quickly. The piece of meat that Shen Shi'an took out was about the size of an egg, and they ate it all in a short time. Considering their current size, I am afraid to feed them too much.
Next, is what to do with them.
Xu Ge looked at the little thing rolling and frolicking at his feet after eating, and felt that his whole heart was about to melt. "Brother Shen, can we take these two lions away together? Anyway, they are only so big and don't eat much. I can help them find food."
"No!" Shen Xun turned his face instantly, and hugged Shen Shi'an's legs even tighter: "Don't take it! No one is allowed to take it!!"
Shen Shi'an ignored him, and asked Liu Fangzhou, "What do you think?"
Liu Fangzhou boldly avoided the eyes of Gouzijing who wanted to eat people, and coughed twice: "I think it's okay to take them, they are too small, they may not be able to beat mutant mosquitoes, maybe they will be thrown in this wilderness You have to starve to death, saving the life of a lion is better than building a seven-level pagoda, and it happens to be our group pet in the future, don’t you think, Brother Nan?”
Chen Nan touched his nose: "It's very cute, and it's small so it won't bite anyone."
Tao Yuan nodded: "I can do whatever I want."
Just as Xiong Manshan was about to nod his head, his expression suddenly turned ferocious: "Don't take it! Who dares to take me and eat it!!"
Everyone: "..."
Shen Shi'an made a final decision: "Take it with you."
As a result, the two cubs shivered into a ball amid Shen Xun's continuous grinding of teeth, and Xu Ge and Liu Fangzhou carried them onto the off-road vehicle.
That night, after washing at the place where he settled down, Shen Xun entered the space with Shen Shi'an, and as soon as he entered, he started to make noise: "An'an, you can't raise a lion!"
"Oh?" Shen Shi'an took the Gouzijing wrapped around his lap, made a pot of tea with a calm expression, and sat on the recliner in the corridor, "Why."
Shen Xun was extremely angry, his big dark green eyes were wet with a layer of water, and his childish voice sternly complained: "You said that the whole world loves me the most, and that you only have me as one!"
Shen Shi'an picked up the teacup and took a sip, "The little lion is more obedient than you."
"I am obedient! I am super obedient! I will do whatever An An asks me to do!"
Shen Shi'an began to turn over old accounts: "Well, then why do I remember someone beheading Xiaohong with a knife alone?"
\"That happened more than half a month ago,\" the dog was so wronged: "You can't raise a little lion just because of this..."
Shen Shi'an took another sip of tea: "Why not, the little lion is cuter than you."
"Me too! I'm super cute!"
Shen Xun hugged his legs, puffed up his cheeks and began to exert all his strength until his little face flushed, and with a blu, two small fluffy ears popped out from the top of his head.
"Pfft." Shen Shi'an almost spit out the tea.
Staring at the top of Shen Xun's head in a daze for a long time, he couldn't help touching it with his hands. Those two ears seemed to be extremely ticklish, shaking back and forth in his palm.
It feels so good.
Shen Xun stared at him closely, not forgetting the business: "I'm cute!"
Shen Shi'an never took his hands off his head, turning those two small ears over and over into various shapes. Wen Yan nodded reservedly: "It's okay."
"Then are you still mad at me?"
"No more births."
Gou Zijing grinned twice, then asked again: "Then do you still have a lion cub?"
"I don't raise it," Shen Shi'an pinched the tips of his furry ears, "Xu Ge and they raise it."
Shen Xun thought for a while: This is also acceptable. "Then you are not allowed to hold them or touch them in the future." Otherwise I will eat them in one bite.
"Can your ears change every day?"
"Well, my mana has come back a little bit recently."
"Then I won't touch them."
"you promise!"
"I promise."
Hahahaha. Now Shen Xun was completely satisfied. Getting tired again into Shen Shi'an's arms: "Shall we sleep?"
"Sleep," Shen Shi'an picked up the child and walked to the bedroom, couldn't help telling: "Put your ears back tomorrow."
"Okay."
Shen Shi'an hugged the child and touched the dog's ears all night, and felt so sweet that he didn't even have a dream.
As soon as he left the space the next morning, Liu Fangzhou rushed over: "Brother Shen, it's not good!"
"Brother Tao Yuan has a fever!"
