Hou Ying told Duan Yin and Xuanyuanzhen that the team was responsible for cleaning up the fourth-level area. It cannot be said to be a deception, but it was indeed to cover up his real purpose.
The Zhujiang base's advanced zombie biological search technology is still in its infancy, and the data is not perfect, so they can only vaguely define some targeted and known third-level zombie biological species, let alone fourth-level zombies. On the premise of breaking free from detection and search, Hou Ying could do a lot. The reason why she didn't tell Xuanyuan the truth was because she was worried that she would stop her.
The real goal of his trip was on the fifth-level zombie crystal nucleus from the very beginning.
Hou Ying said: "Look at these places, they are the fifth-level zombie area maps I drew. According to the distance from the fourth-level area where we settled, I marked them with numbers from 1 to 10. This is the target we will attack next. .”
Liu Zhan couldn't help but said, "Brother Hou, do you want to... with Xuanyuan?"
After being reminded by him, the others immediately thought of Hou Ying's proposal to him and Li Xuanyuan to hunt the fifth-level zombie crystal nucleus alone before the tsunami, and immediately objected: "No, Brother Monkey is too risky!"
"That's right, everyone is going to go together, brother monkey, don't think about leaving us and acting alone!"
Hou Ying waved her hand, motioning everyone to calm down and listen to him: "Look here, there is an intersection between the fifth-level area on the 1st and this fourth-level area. The distance is very close and within the monitoring range of the second child and me. I plan to go with Xuanyuan first. No. 1 level 5 area to explore the way, absolutely not reluctantly. We need the actual battle experience with level 5 zombie creatures, otherwise we will not be sure of the details, and I will never let you test the water—listen to me first. "
Seeing them open to block them, Hou Ying didn't give them a chance to speak, and continued: "Xuanyuan and I are not people who act impulsively. If we can, we will go up if we can't. You still have the ability. And if you can rely on the fifth-level zombie crystal nucleus to help you break through the fifth level, then even if you don’t want to be a fifth-level zombie creature, I will kick you.”
Ji Yao: "I still think it's dangerous. The supernatural attacks of these marine creatures are too evil. Don't you forget the electric eel that almost electrocuted the second child last time, as well as the octopus with poisonous power, Xuanyuan's twin banyan leaves You can't please them, if you encounter something more difficult to deal with, why can't you fly, and how can you do without the speed ability?"
Ji Yao's words were too pertinent, and it completely reached everyone's heart, and one of the objections on their faces became more determined.
Hou Ying said helplessly: "The second child must stay. If you are really worried, Xuanyuan and I will take Dongfang. Then you should be relieved, right?"
Before the others could speak, Meng Hanghai said, "Uncle Hou, I want to go with you!"
Meng Hanghai's ability is undoubtedly a life-saving magic weapon. Everyone was a little moved when they heard the words, but Hou Ying refused: "In the past few operations, Xuanyuan and I will adopt a conservative combat strategy and will not advance rashly. If there is a need to talk about it in the future, it is completely impossible now." There's no need to be a warlord. Xiao Hai, your brother Xiaohe is not here, and Gongsun and the others can't coax Li Hou, so you have to help uncle take care of him, okay?"
Meng Hanghai struggled all over his face. He wanted to stay by Hou Ying's side, but he couldn't leave his brother alone. After struggling for a long time, he finally compromised under Hou Ying's gentle persuasion.
In this way, Li Hou's team split up, Hou Ying, Li Xuanyuan and Dongfang Bai went to the fifth-level zombie area to test the actual combat capabilities of the fifth-level zombie creatures, while the others stayed in the fourth-level zombie area to hunt for the fourth-level crystal nucleus.
It was not early, and after everyone had eaten, they arranged for the night watchman, and they all took a rest—they will go all out from tomorrow, and they need enough sleep.
Before going to bed, Hou Ying deliberately left five people in Wunan.
Yesterday Li Xuanyuan asked them to leave, the secret discussion of the original team still caused some pimples in the hearts of these young team members. It's not all about dissatisfaction with this approach, but more about the anxiety of not being recognized or trusted. They have already regarded everyone in Li Hou's team and Brother Monkey as the top priority of their future life. Not being recognized is not only a blow to them, but also very painful.
Although they complained yesterday, they have reached a consensus with each other and will work harder and harder to contribute to the team so that they can qualify to become their close partners.
Hou Ying was relieved to understand their mentality, but she still had to explain some things to these young people, lest they go into a dead end.
"My trust in you is no different from Xuanyuan and others. The reason why I choose to hide some things is because telling you about them will not only bring trouble to the team, but may even endanger your safety. Therefore, I hope you don't Be curious, and don't blame us for our inappropriate behavior, because Xuanyuan and I are the same as you, and we are also powerless and have no choice about some things."
Although Hou Ying was smiling, the helplessness and even uneasiness in her expression caused a little fear in the hearts of the five young people. They had more or less inquiring thoughts before, but now they completely suppressed such thoughts.
"We are like each other's family members. We are not ashamed to say that we are all relatives who depend on each other, regardless of each other. So don't think that we form a small group to isolate you. If one day in the future, these troubles will no longer become troubles. , or let you know that the benefits outweigh the risks, I will be honest with you."
Hou Ying said sincerely.
The eyes of Wu Nan and the others were red, "Brother Monkey, don't worry, we won't be so ignorant."
"Yeah, brother monkey, although I was a little curious before, but I won't ask again in the future!"
"Brother Monkey, you are good enough to us, better than your family, we are not that greedy, don't worry about us."
"Yeah, we are no longer children in the rebellious period."
"Brother Monkey, if you need help one day, no matter whether it will harm us or not, you must tell us, otherwise we will really hate you."
"That's right! This has to be said!"
…
Faced with such a childlike heart, Hou Ying couldn't remain calm, he smiled and agreed. The other people who were listening by the side also became a little emotional. When Hou Ying urged them to sleep, they had some concerns in their hearts. It was only now that they really let go of their guard against Wu Nan and the others.
As Hou Ying said, treat them as relatives.
At dawn the next day, Hou Ying and Li Xuanyuan Dongfangbai drove away in a commercial vehicle.
At that time, cutting a business car and bringing it on the plane, they all thought it was a spare means of transportation. Unexpectedly, Hou Ying had a plan in mind at that time.
Li Xuanyuan was driving, and Dongfang Bai was behind Hou Ying, who was in the co-driver. Seeing that Hou Ying had already locked on a target and asked Li Xuanyuan to drive in that direction, he said somewhat nervously: "Brother Monkey, what if there is something I can't handle later?" Don't be brave, tell me quickly, if we can fly, we will fly, if we can't, we will run away."
With his eyesight on people, shortly after joining the team, he discovered that Hou Ying was actually more daring and adventurous than Li Xuanyuan in his bones.
After going through so much wind and rain together, and going through so many life-and-death situations, Dongfang Bai also understands that Hou Ying is a very restrained person, and his self-control is so strong that he is in awe. On the contrary, Dongfang Bai has always been a person who tends to protect himself and behave in the world. If he wants to be in the limelight, he will never be strong. Chen Yong's death was also caused by the drastic changes.
Hou Ying patted him on the shoulder with her backhand and said, "Don't worry, with Xuanyuan here, I will definitely not put him in danger."
Although suspected of showing affection, Dongfang Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
That's right, if Hou Ying was the only one, maybe he would do something. With Li Xuanyuan around, he would have more scruples.
Li Xuanyuan glanced at him sideways, his lips curled up slightly.
Hou Ying is the rein that holds them back, and he may be the rein that holds Hou Ying... This fact is inexplicably pleasant.
Ten minutes later, the commercial vehicle slowly stopped.
"Brother Monkey, where are you?"
After getting out of the car, Dongfang Bai spread his wings and asked nervously.
Hou Ying pointed in one direction, and Dongfang Bai flapped his wings a few meters away from the ground, glanced there, and slightly relaxed his tense nerves. He landed and said: "I saw it. It was a huge yellow scallop, blocking the intersection and occupying it. It didn't open its mouth. I don't know what kind of power it has."
The first Level 5 creature was facing the scallops he had eaten before the end of the world, which eased Dongfang Bai's fear a lot.
Hou Ying was a little surprised. He deliberately chose this place because he sensed that there were no other zombie crystal nuclei nearby except for a fifth-level crystal nucleus. As for scallops, which live in groups, I don't know if this one was just caught by water. Order here. However, scallops are better than other sea creatures with unpredictable lethality, so they joked: "It's a pity that they are not mutant scallops, otherwise we can add a big dish to the recipe."
Dongfang Bai laughed and said: "When you meet a zombie, the mutation is not far away."
The three of them approached the fifth-level scallop, Dongfang Bai first used metal to test each other, the huge scallop opened its mouth, and swallowed the metal directly, completely ignoring his fourth-level attack. The twin banyan leaves had already surrounded them and waited for orders. Seeing this, Li Xuanyuan threw the keel as thick as his wrist towards the scallops!
The fifth-level scallop opened its mouth again, and the twin banyan leaves felt the supernatural attack!
It really is a formless special ability.
And it was a power they had never seen before!
