Out of Liu Zhan's safety concerns, Hou Ying asked Zhou Tianyi to follow Liu Zhan to the Chuanyuan base.
Zhou Tianyi's fire-type abilities are extremely powerful. Like Liu Zhan, he is a fifth-level ability user. Even if there are any unsafe factors in the Chuanyuan base, the two of them will be enough to protect the safety of the negotiating team.
People from the Kawahara Base and the Yangtze River Base who participated in the wedding left one after another. In addition to Chi Hui from the Kawahara Base who clearly expressed his attitude of cooperation, the leader of the supernatural beings from the Yangtze River Base came to inquire about the truth in the name of apologizing, leaving a few ambiguous sentences. Then he left. Two days later, Xuanyuanzhen and Duan Yin left with Wang Hehe and the accompanying people from the Pearl River Base.
——On the night before they left, Hou Ying deliberately raised the abilities of Duan Yin and Patriarch Duan to the fifth level.
Invisibly, the cooperation between the Xuanyuan family and the Duan family is more secure.
Before Hou Ying and his party were about to leave for the zombie crystal nucleus breeding ground in the northeast, they had a deep talk with the Xuanyuan couple and Patriarch Duan.
According to Hou Ying's intention, he intentionally asked Ji Yao or Dongfang Bailiu to take Wu Nan and Ye Huizhong to stay at the Yellow River base to protect their safety nearby. However, Xuanyuan Hui refused. She, Li Han, and Patriarch Duan are also the same as the members of Li Hou's team, and they are also advanced abilities at the fifth level. They have the confidence to face the Shen family and the Chang family. , also has the power of self-protection.
Furthermore, Xuanyuanhui said worriedly: "This trip, you must not let down your vigilance. This time the zombie riot came too suddenly, and even some third-level zombies that had been cultivated suddenly ate internally and evolved into fourth-level zombies .The people we stayed there were almost wiped out."
When she mentioned this matter, she felt very distressed. The people they sent to cultivate the zombie crystal nucleus were all their most trusted and most capable subordinates. How could she accept such an inexplicable sacrifice of more than half
But that accident came too suddenly, and they still don't have any clues yet.
Compared with unknown dangers, Xuanyuan Hui and the other three, who had been prepared for the Shen family and the Chang family long ago and were far more confident in their strength than them, had full confidence in self-preservation, so naturally they were more willing to let Li Xuanyuan and the others who were traveling outside more. some safeguards. If it wasn't for the fear of exposing the secret or causing confusion for them, Xuanyuan Hui would have wanted them to bring in more people.
Hou Ying said: "That's fine, but parents still need to be more careful. If you are not afraid of conspiracy, you are afraid of jumping over the wall. The attacks of people with special abilities are hard to guard against, so you can't take it lightly."
Xuanyuan Hui and the others naturally solemnly agreed, she opened her mouth and wanted to say something but hesitated and swallowed it back. Hou Ying understood what she was going to say, and it was nothing more than the issue of Li Hou's belonging, which they had discussed before. Xuanyuanhui meant to let the child stay in the Yellow River base and be taken care of by them, but Hou Ying rejected this after careful consideration.
It's not that they can't trust Xuanyuan Hui and Li Han, but in such a special period, they showed their special feelings for Li Hou early, and it's hard to guarantee that some people won't use any means to attack him. Just in case, stay safe by your side.
On the second day, Hou Ying and others rushed to their destination by plane.
In the northeast direction, the sandy land on the edge of the grassland, the magnetic field here has been unstable since the end of the world, and it is isolated from the detection range of the Yellow River base. Originally, this place was the best place to cover people's eyes and ears and do some small tricks. I didn't expect that a zombie riot would suddenly occur in a place where there were few creatures, few residents, and few zombies.
Entering the area where the plane's navigation was out of control, everyone chose to stop here, and they landed on the grass and raised waves of dust.
Because the instruments could not be used in such an environment and could not accurately judge the time, Hou Ying did not let the team disperse. After getting off the plane, the dry and cold wind came oncoming, even the heating of small apples could not change its dryness. According to the map given by Xuanyuan's family, Hou Ying and his party first went to Xuanyuan's farm to check what happened.
On the way, Qiao Daye, who was looking around, did not find any zombies or any dangerous objects. He asked, "Brother Monkey, are there any zombies or zombie creatures around here?"
Hou Ying shook her head, "I didn't feel it."
"It shouldn't be, we saw some zombies around here on the plane before, are they all scared away by us?"
Hou Ying didn't know why, "Even if they can feel the existence of high-level supernatural beings, they need to be within a certain range. When I got off the plane, I could still sense three or five third-level zombies, but now there is none of them." .”
Like Qiao Daye, Li Xuanyuan and Jiang Tao, who are experienced in marching, were also looking at the surrounding environment. Hearing the conversation between the two, Jiang Tao interjected: "Even if there are no zombies, there should be ants, scorpions and the like in this kind of place. It would be a big trouble if something mutated."
"Well, you heard Brother Tao's words, everyone pay attention to your steps."
Hou Ying did not forget to remind everyone.
I didn't meet a zombie along the way, no, to be precise, I didn't sense the existence of a zombie, and it was no exception when I arrived at Xuanyuan's farm. Except for the corpse of the supernatural being who hadn't had time to restrain himself during the emergency evacuation, there wasn't even anything that could move around here. Everyone walked around the farm, and the remaining traces of destruction proved that there had been a fourth-level zombie here, and there was more than one.
So, where did these zombies go now? Why did they riot and kill each other in the first place, and why did they leave here suddenly
The search was fruitless, and it was lunch time.
Su Fenghe moved the kitchen utensils and food from the truck—the bungalows built by the farm were not damaged, and the conditions were not too bad. Hou Ying and the others decided to settle here temporarily. Chefs Hou Ying and Ye Huizhong cooked a simple lunch, and the group ate around the fire lit by Jiang Tao, exchanging a few words about the current situation from time to time.
After Gongsun Jing cleaned the kitchen utensils and tableware, everyone calmed down and formally exchanged the current situation.
Qiao Dayo: "According to Xuanyuan's parents, there were five or six thousand third-level zombies raised here. Even if they killed each other later, there would be at least a thousand zombies left, and most of them were fourth-level zombies. Destroy them from the scene. Judging from the situation, the battle at that time was very fierce, what angered these zombies? If the supernatural beings here have behaved improperly and caused them to scramble for crystal nuclei, I think it is very likely to lead to a tragedy."
Artificially cultivating zombie crystal nuclei is a very dangerous undertaking, and it is not as simple as imagined. A little carelessness—even if you just accidentally feed an extra first-level crystal nucleus, it will cause zombies to compete , thus evolving into a battle within the zombies.
Ji Yaodao: "I don't think this possibility is very high. These supernatural beings are all carefully selected by the Xuanyuan family, and they should not make such low-level mistakes. Besides, even if someone really made a mistake at work, the person who escaped would be fine." It’s not certain that everyone will lie to cover up for others. I think this riot must be an internal problem of the zombies themselves.”
Qiao Dayo: "That's not bad, Yaoji, when will you learn to analyze."
Dongfang Bai said: "Yaoji is not stupid at all. I told you two not to be silly, listen to what Brother Monkey has to say."
Seeing them all looking at her, Hou Ying, who was in deep thought, snapped back to her senses, snapped her fingers and said, "The result of this zombie riot is obviously to devour each other's higher-level zombies. The purpose is very strong. If this If the action is spontaneous from the zombies, I think there should be a character here who is the commander. And this informative zombie must be above level 4, maybe level 5 zombie, or level 6 zombie."
"Brother Monkey prefers the latter?"
Gongsun Jing sat up straight and her expression became serious.
Hou Ying nodded, looking at the surprised people, Hou Ying said: "What we say now is just speculation. However, we have all seen level 5 zombie creatures. Although they are the leaders of low-level zombie biological clocks, we have almost no clues about them." Seeing them, they let their own people kill each other. Therefore, I think that to make a level-3 zombie obey such an order, a level-6 zombie should be able to do it. Maybe... "
Maybe something, he didn't wash his hands, but everyone was shocked.
They all understood Hou Ying's unfinished intentions, and maybe it was a level 7 zombie that appeared this time.
Wu Nan swallowed his saliva and said: "If there is a possibility of a level 7 zombie appearing, it shouldn't hide from us. Or should it go to the next place to harm other zombies after it has achieved its goal? It also took it away to cultivate it here. The advanced zombies? It wants to train a group of elite men?"
Li Dong scratched his head and said, "Brother Wu, I'm cowardly, so don't scare me, level seven zombies are also zombies, they can't be so smart."
The casual conversation between the two made the already serious team even more dignified.
Hou Ying had no choice but to say: "It's all just speculation, there's no need to scare yourself. Everyone rest in place for half an hour, and then go around here to see what is playing tricks."
Li Xuanyuan handed Li Hou who had woken up and was drinking milk to Hou Ying. He and Jiang Tao planned to build some experimental models to see what caused the magnetic field disturbance here. Before, they all thought that some kind of magnetic-related ability caused the magnetic field disorder, but after he came here, he overturned this assumption.
He didn't feel the power related to it.
Li Hou is very active, after eating and drinking, he wants to move and is not satisfied with staying in his father's arms, so Ji Yao came over to brush up his favorability, and extravagantly used the buoyancy ability of the wind system to throw Li Hou high, making Li Hou I was so happy that I couldn't find the north. Seeing Meng Hanghai's eagerness to try, he simply took the child with him and played together in mid-air.
The crisp laughter of the children was full of blissful contagion. Hou Ying looked at them with a smile. After a while, seeing that they were almost playing and were about to stop, they suddenly paused.
He looked at Qiao Dayo to confirm something, Qiao Daye obviously heard it and was looking at him.
"There's a dog barking."
