The sun was still high in the sky, but the people below couldn't feel any warmth.
Gao Xun carefully looked at the corpses, his eyes were full of astonishment.
"Is that vine still a killer?!"
"I don't know. We have to take a closer look. After all... I just inhaled a little aroma with an anesthetic effect yesterday, and I didn't get hurt."
Ji Anran bent down and began to examine the wounds on the corpse.
The wounds of these corpses are different. Some corpses have traces of being burned by fire, while some corpses seem to have been pierced through the heart by a sharp weapon...
Most of the wounds on these bodies are different, and they don't seem to have been killed by the same murderer.
However, the shocking thing is that a hole was dug out of the heads of these corpses!
Ji Anran shuddered, and the look in his eyes was a little colder.
"Do you think this scene is very familiar? During the zombie tide, the people at the base were digging crystal nuclei in a pile of corpses. The heads of those zombies were either directly blown off, or a hole was dug out, like …”
This is the case.
However, what was lying on the ground was not a zombie corpse with a hideous face and drenched water, but a human corpse...
"I think most of them were not killed by that plant. Among so many corpses, only two corpses died of plant-type abilities. These two people may have been killed by vines, or they may have been killed by plants. It was killed by a supernatural person. That plant dragged some corpses over and made it into fertilizer."
Geng Yan's expression turned pale: "Because they all have traces of being dragged by vines after death, but the fatal injuries are caused by other abilities."
"Collect corpses, obtain crystal nuclei to strengthen yourself, and bury corpses in the soil to hide people's eyes and ears... This plant must become fine!"
Gao Xun scolded, and his complexion became even worse.
He is not very good at thinking, and he has always used force to settle everything. After the mutated animals appeared, he just felt that it would be a little troublesome to collect supplies in the future, and he needed to beat the mutated animals to the ground.
And now...
Gao Xun said with a sad face: "Brother Geng, I just want to collect some supplies. In the future, I will not only fight with mutated animals, but also wits with mutated plants? Brother Geng, my brain is not good enough. When you act in groups in the future, you Remember to send me a brain to help me!"
Originally, everyone was in a low mood, but when they heard Gao Xun's words, they immediately laughed.
"Gao Xun, didn't I let you read the book that day, didn't you gain much?" Geng Yan raised his eyebrows.
Although Geng Yan said that he would be assessed, in fact, he was just trying to frighten Gao Xun and make Gao Xun read the book seriously. When he was at the base, he wished he could split his time in half to accompany An Ran, how could he have the time to take the Gaoxun exam
Gao Xun, who hadn't finished reading the book, was startled, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Brother Geng, you are reasonable. This kind of thing cannot be solved by reading a few pages of books."
Wei Yanhua chuckled: "That's true. IQ problems cannot be solved by books."
Gao Xun glared at Wei Yanhua, and bent his arms to show off his strong muscles.
"You try to say it again?"
"If you really want to hear it, I can say it again. I heard that Geng Yan seemed to be planning to test you at the beginning, but he probably forgot later." Wei Yanhua said lightly.
"An Ran, you were so close to that plant last night, what a blessing among misfortunes." Gao Xun was so frightened that he immediately changed the subject.
Geng Yan: "..."
This ability to change the topic is really not technical at all.
"I'm fine, and the speed user didn't encounter any problems either. That fast guy must have known that there was such a plant that releases ecstasy here, so I dragged me back to the vegetable garden. That vine is estimated to only attack specific abilities... Unfortunately, we have no way to judge what abilities they were in life based on these corpses."
Ji Anran rubbed the center of his brows: "However, there is also good news that the abilities of our team members are not within its hunting range."
The fascination effect of that vine should be its own characteristic, not a supernatural ability, otherwise it would not be necessary to stun Ji Anran, who is worthless. Moreover, the speed user was not affected, and he should have taken related drugs, and the properties of the drugs are not difficult to understand.
There were only a dozen corpses, and the weeds on the soil grew back after hiding the corpses, indicating that it hadn't found a suitable corpse for a while, which meant that its abilities were relatively rare.
"I don't know where that plant went. However, it will not attack us for no reason, which is also a good thing." Geng Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's getting late, let's go collect supplies now."
In the days that followed, members of Geng Yan's team never saw that strange vine again.
They also encountered other mutated plants, but because the mutated plants didn't last long and were relatively weak, they were easier to deal with.
Gradually, that vine was gradually forgotten by Geng Yan and the others.
——
The sky was gloomy, and the sun hid in the clouds, revealing a hazy trace.
The pure white snowflakes are falling down, one after another, laying a white carpet on the earth.
Geng Yan was in a deserted villa, standing in front of the glass window looking at the scenery outside the window.
There was a vast expanse of whiteness all around, and many plants were covered by snow. In winter, it became more difficult for the team to find supplies, and it became more difficult for mutated animals to find food.
"The snow will stop tomorrow." Ji Anran walked over with a bowl of hot soup, "Brother Geng, it's my turn to cook today, try it."
Geng Yan's heart moved slightly.
Their team rarely cooks when they are outside, unless the weather is not suitable for going out the next day. Since the formation of the team, Ji Anran was given the turn to cook for the first time.
Ji Anran had never cooked before, but he knew something after seeing it. He figured it out by himself, and asked Geng Yan if he didn't understand, but he didn't make any jokes.
Geng Yanduan came over and took a sip: "Not bad. It's your first time cooking, and you are very capable at this level."
"Really? Hehe." Ji Anran was embarrassed, her face turned red.
It is said that he cooks, but in fact, Brother Geng does most of the work. He also washed the vegetables, put the things in the pot, and added more firewood.
As for chopping pork, cutting vegetables, adding seasonings, etc., all were done by Geng Yan.
"Brother Geng, where are we going to find supplies next?" Gao Xun asked while eating.
Geng Yan picked up a few pieces of lean meat for Ji Anran, and replied without raising his head: "The zoo. The animals over there probably haven't run away, and we can find a lot of meat."
Gao Xun: "Brother Geng, can you take a look at me?"
Geng Yan turned his head, his eyes were full of murderous intent.
"I'm watching you, is there anything wrong?"
"No." Gao Xun swallowed, annoyed at his quick talk.
"Gao Xun." Ji Anran blinked her big innocent eyes, and smiled brightly, "If you feel uncomfortable, you can try to find a girlfriend. By then, you probably won't..."
If you don't know how to look at the occasion, you will disturb the couple feeding each other.
Oh no, they're friends with benefits.
Thinking about it, Ji Anran turned his body sideways and leaned on Geng Yan's body.
"Brother Geng, what kind of clothes do you think I should wear when the time comes..."
Several other people were secretly laughing and did not speak.
Afterwards, they pulled Gao Xun and asked Gao Xun if he had been stimulated in any way just now.
"Gao Xun, what kind of girl do you like, let me see if I can introduce you?" Wei Yanhua chuckled.
Zhong Rushui nodded: "Although your temperament will probably annoy your girlfriend very much. However, you are still relatively young, and you are also hardworking and responsible for your family. I will help you to find a girlfriend. You should still be able to find a girlfriend. "
Gao Xun swallowed: "No need."
After finishing speaking, Gao Xun ran away.
He felt as if he had returned to the base, facing all kinds of chatter from the seven aunts and the eight aunts, the concern was too heavy, he really couldn't bear it!
——
The next day, the snow stopped.
Geng Yan's team embarked on the journey again.
The van shuttled quickly on the snow, leaving two long tire marks.
When they were a few hundred meters away from the zoo, Geng Yan and the others found many wheel marks on the main road.
Wei Yanhua's seductive face wrinkled into a ball: "Damn it! There are probably quite a few people who came this time. It seems that not only our team but also other people are thinking of coming to the zoo. Whether there are enough creatures in the zoo is a matter of time." Whether or not everyone will fight over supplies is another matter."
Even if there are enough resources in the zoo, the teams that meet may not be able to coexist peacefully. Some people don’t think that it’s good if everyone can get the supplies, but they want to kill everyone and monopolize all the supplies!
"Go, go and have a look." Geng Yan pretended to be decent, "This tire mark doesn't look like the mark of an ordinary car, but more like those left by the military vehicles in the base."
After all, it was such an unthinkable thing like rebirth, Geng Yan didn't intend to tell the team members. Moreover, even if he told the truth, the team members might not believe it.
While collecting materials, he is also looking for the identity of An Ran's previous life enemy. Once he finds someone, he will look for opportunities to take revenge.
He didn't intend to tell the players, and he didn't want to involve them in this single right and wrong. After all, the other party is not someone to mess with.
There is an open space at the entrance of the zoo, and there are rows of shops on the opposite street.
People from the two bases gathered in the open space and abandoned shops. There were two to three hundred people coming and going here, and it was very lively.
Gao Xun looked confused: "A lot of people, did they form a group to dig treasures at the zoo?"
"Slackers of the Chenxi base, hurry up if you haven't signed up yet!" A man in the overalls of the Chenxi base kept calling with a loudspeaker.
Ji Anran's eyes were shining, and he tugged at Geng Yan's sleeve.
"Come on, let's go and have a look."
Although he heard about the zoo, he was not involved in it in his previous life. He didn't like the excitement very much. At that time, he went to other places to find supplies by himself.
At that time, when I went to remote rural areas, I still found supplies in the house. Although, the vegetable gardens and rice fields in the countryside have been covered by snow, which is very regrettable.
Seeing that Ji Anran was in high spirits, Geng Yan naturally wouldn't spoil his mood.
"Okay. Walk slowly, the snow is not easy to walk, don't fall."
The team members behind: "..." My eyes are going to be blind!
Wei Yanhua wiped his face with a complicated expression.
I said you two are just friends with benefits now, can you stop being so showy!
===
This is a clothing store, and the transparent window glass is still intact, but the store has already "changed owners".
A notice was pasted on the glass, clearly explaining the content and restrictions of this registration.
Because they were worried that the mutated animals in the zoo would run around due to lack of food and cause harm to nearby bases, Dawn Base and Hope Base jointly prepared this cooperation activity.
Ability users can freely choose to participate. Once registered, they cannot quit halfway, unless the team is destroyed.
This time the task is not too strict, it only needs to eliminate all the mutant animals in the zoo. As for how to deal with normal animals, it is up to the supernatural beings to choose.
The duration of this mission is one month, and any mutant animal killed during this period can be brought over to the base to exchange for supplies. If you want to transport the mutated animals back, the base also provides low-cost transportation services.
The base personnel have cleaned up the nearby hotels for everyone to stay in, and only need to pay a relatively cheap rent. In addition, everyone is a partner. During the zombie tide, we are united as one, and now we are not allowed to engage in infighting or anything like that.
The two bases have joined forces and have organized a protection team. If someone does something wrong, kill people, steal goods, etc., don't blame the law enforcement team for being ruthless!
"This task is very good, there are almost no restrictions. We can earn as much as we kill mutant animals." Ji Anran clenched his fists, "Let's sign up too."
"That's right." Wei Yanhua smiled, "I can't finish the meat I found so far by myself. It's just right to sell it, and it saves me having to go to the market after I bring the stuff back to the base."
Geng Yan looked at the military vehicles not far away: "The base sent out the law enforcement team to ensure everyone's safety. Our relationship with Hope Base is neither bad nor bad, but people's hearts are separated. If there is no law enforcement team to watch That said, if something happens to any team, we still don’t know what will happen.”
"At least you don't have to worry about being killed by a surprise attack. It's good. Our only threat is these mutated animals. Many of them have supernatural powers. Looking for food everywhere, those weaker teams might be buried in the belly of the beast."
Looking at the faded signboard of the zoo, Ji Anran was filled with emotion.
Before the end of the world, many people liked to visit the zoo. These cute animals will give them a sense of healing and bring them joy.
But after the end of the world, animals have mutated, and some powerful mutant animals can easily take the life of a first-order superhuman!
In order to protect the survival of human beings, human beings finally stood on the opposite side with these former friends.
——
The staff at the base were still yelling: "Registration ends today, hurry up."
Ji Anran lined up obediently, and Geng Yan stood by Ji Anran's side, with the attitude of a protector.
One person can sign up for his own team, and other players will not get involved. They walked around together to see if there was any valuable information.
A man in a black down jacket walked over with contempt in his eyes.
His goal was not the registration point of Chenxi Base, but the registration point of Hope Base in the shop next door.
It's just that when passing by, this person stared at everyone in the Chenxi base with an unkind expression on his face.
"It's really strange that there are little boys in this place." The man clasped his hands with gloves on, and looked at Ji Anran and Geng Yan with burning eyes.
A dog leg behind him was sweating profusely: "Brother Wang, that person is Geng Yan, a well-known strong man in Chenxi Base, and a person with lightning abilities. Don't provoke him."
"When did I go to provoke the strong?"
Wang Haixiong sneered, "I'm just looking at the goal I yearn for. As long as I have strong strength, all the rules can be ignored. So what if it's dangerous to kill zombies outside? As long as you are strong enough, you can kill zombies." Take the bed companion with you!"
Ji Anran is queuing up, it's time to be bored.
Wang Haixiong's gaze was too presumptuous, and Ji Anran had already noticed it.
He didn't intend to talk to this person at first, but then he heard the other person talking nonsense.
Ji Anran glanced at the other party, narrowing his eyes dangerously: "Who do you say is accompanying the bed?"
Faced with this situation, Geng Yan was not as calm as Ji Anran, he kept striking a small lightning, which made Wang Haixiong tremble.
"Ah!"
Although it is not strong enough to electrocute people, it is still enough for Wang Haixiong to drink a pot.
"If you talk cheap again, next time, it won't be an enhanced version of static electricity. Your parents should have told you not to get close to high-voltage lines."
With a cold face, Geng Yan put his arms around Ji Anran's waist, his protection was beyond words.
Wang Haixiong didn't expect that Geng Yan and others could still hear him deliberately lowering his voice behind him.
When the people around heard the movement, they all looked this way.
Everyone in the Chenxi base was in high spirits. Geng Yan was a well-known husband protector in the base. To provoke him, wouldn't it be courting death
I hope that the people at the base will be even more excited. This trash Wang Haixiong is usually domineering, and he has today, hahaha!
"Did you hear what I just said? If you hear me, answer me."
Geng Yan looked down at Wang Haixiong condescendingly, the terrible pressure made Wang Haixiong's forehead sweat.
"I, I know."
Wang Haixiong was unwilling, but he had no choice but to confess indignantly.
Ji Anran leaned softly in Geng Yan's arms as if he had no bones.
With deep displeasure on his delicate face, he said in a sweet voice: "Brother Geng, you are the best for me."
After acting coquettishly, Ji Anran looked at Wang Haixiong coldly: "I remember your face. If I catch you talking ill of me again, I will let Brother Geng peel off your skin!"
There is a kind of you to pick my skin off, you dead duck!
"Yes, I understand." Wang Haixiong said with a low eyebrow.
Ji Anran raised his head proudly, like a concubine who was a disaster for the country, and leaning against Geng Yan's arms, he looked like a successful villain who pretends to be a tiger.
Seeing Ji Anran's cute appearance, Geng Yan's heart moved slightly.
If it weren't for the fact that there were too many spectators here and he was afraid of An Ran's embarrassment, he would have bowed his head and kissed An Ran long ago.
It's skinny and cute, and he likes it so much.
Because Wang Haixiong lost face, he didn't want to stay where he was.
After Ji Anran let him go, he immediately slipped away.
It wasn't until he disappeared before Geng Yan's eyes that Wang Haixiong straightened his chest suddenly, and kicked the dog's leg next to him viciously.
"I was almost beaten into a turtle just now, are you guys dead? You won't stop it?"
"Brother Wang, when Geng Yan waved his hand, there was a flash of lightning. The speed is so fast, even if we wanted to block you, we would not be able to react. Besides, none of us is Geng Yan's opponent. There is really no way." My heart complained endlessly.
Several other dog legs also echoed, and kept comforting Wang Haixiong, for fear that Wang Haixiong would take them out in a fit of anger.
"You trash!"
Wang Haixiong couldn't be more angry, and he beat up the group of dog legs, and the anger in his heart subsided.
"You trash, you can't protect me at all. When the mission is over, I'll go find my brother-in-law after returning to the base, and replace all of you trash!"
——
Good things don't go out, bad things travel thousands of miles.
When signing up, Ji Anran had a little dispute with Wang Haixiong, and now, people from both bases have spread the word.
The corner of Wei Yanhua's mouth twitched: "You two went to show off your affection in the street?"
"Well. I also pretended to be Brother Geng's... plaything to make them relax their vigilance."
Ji Anran held back for a long time before squeezing out these shameless words.
Know thyself, ever-victorious. In other words, there is a great advantage in preventing others from finding out about yourself.
"Your acting skills are good, and you have always been very good. Whether you are from the Chenxi base or the Hope base, you two feel that the connection between the two of you is very close. Some people in the Chenxi base still think that you are true love, but the people in the Hope base are more ... For one thing, I think the two of you are the relationship between the patron and the pet."
Zhong Rushui looked at the two of them with a tangled expression: "An Ran, are you two really not going to save some of this reputation? It's not bad for you to declare love, at least it sounds better."
"No need. I don't need anyone's approval for the matter between me and Brother Geng, as long as I am happy." Ji Anran didn't care.
They are still friends with benefits, although it is not a dirty relationship where someone plays with things. But... it doesn't seem to be any better.
"If you don't care about this reputation, it's fine." Wei Yanhua curled her lips, "It's hard work for you, Geng Yan. Many people in the two bases think you are a bird or a beast. Tender and safe to start."
Geng Yan: "..."
"As long as they don't give Brother Geng away, I won't bother." Ji Anran smiled sweetly, and her cute dimples were fascinating.
——
Although Wang Haixiong was angry, he had nothing to do with Geng Yan.
"This damn mission, can't we go back early?"
"No. The base counts the number of people every night, just for fear that someone will be killed, but they will not be discovered because they are buried deep."
"Damn it!" Wang Haixiong smashed the table angrily, "Although Geng Yan let me go, he must have something against me in his heart. Tell me, we met Geng Yan at the zoo, will he take the opportunity to clean up? I?"
Wang Haixiong is a bullying trash with a low personality, but he is also very afraid of death.
"I don't know. There is a law enforcement team at the base who will try to protect everyone, but...a strong man like Geng Yan, it's hard to say. What if we run into him, and he finds an opportunity to secretly throw us into a dangerous place? area... ”
"He wants to use a mutated animal to kill people with a knife. We really have nothing to do." Another dog leg echoed.
Wang Haixiong kept pacing the room, anxious: "What to do, what to do..."
"Yes! Doesn't Geng Yan like white and tender men? Our base also has one. Let's give him one~" a dog leg said suddenly.
That winking expression is not too much.
Wang Haixiong's eyes lit up: "Good idea! It seems that you are not considered a trash."
If the staff had sent the letter back to the base first, and then waited for the base to send someone over... He would have been killed by Geng Yan long ago!
He needs to find a delicious and beautiful young man as soon as possible, and then send him to Geng Yan's bed, and kick Ji Anran off his "throne of favorite concubine" whom he has offended!
"By the way, I remember us..."
——
The lobby of the base's temporary hotel was tidied up, but it still looked a bit shabby.
The supernatural beings didn't care about the environment, they held wine glasses one by one, and exchanged information while having a drink there.
"Who is that person who offended Geng Yan today? I think he was quite arrogant at the beginning, how did he soften so quickly?"
"Oh, you said Wang Haixiong. His sister is one of the confidantes of a strong man in Hope Base, and she is more favored. He relies on this to domineering everywhere, which is not less annoying."
"Hahaha, it's so interesting! One is a demon concubine, the other is her younger brother, the levels are different~"
