In the dark stairwell, a short-cut man wearing a black thick down jacket lit a cigarette, took a puff and said to his companion who was lighting the cigarette: "Is the person on the third floor still awake? It's been a whole day , I should have recovered from the exhaustion, right?"
The man in the gray jacket took a deep breath of his companion's smoke and finally lit his own. He took a deep breath, exhaled a beautiful smoke ring, and said, "What's the matter of losing strength? Only you, an idiot, will believe it." , he has a fever!"
"fever?!"
"Keep your voice down!" Gray Clothes said to him in a displeased tone and then gossiped in a low voice: "You guys who were downstairs before didn't know, but those of us who stayed up there saw it, when he was carried in That blushing... How could it be that it's not a fever?"
After he said something about the black down jacket, he looked around subconsciously, and found that no one noticed the movement here, so he lowered his voice and said, "Isn't fever a sign of becoming a zombie? Why don't you drive people out and stay upstairs?" What if something happens to Riwan?"
"Hmph, why don't you tell me?" Gray Clothes hooked the corners of his mouth, and said with a bit of sarcasm: "When the two of them first came out, someone said that he had a fever, and he was not allowed to enter the building. Then what? The one who saw him directly tied him up with vines and hung him in the air, if his boss hadn’t come back and apologized and apologized, he would still be covered in snow! Who would dare to touch that evil star’s brow?”
The man in the black down jacket thought of the sky full of vines he saw before, and the knee-high snow outside, couldn't help shivering, but still insisted: "Let's just leave it at that?"
"Otherwise? The boss on the third floor is his own uncle, and now the person guarding him is a superhuman who doesn't recognize his relatives. What do you think should we do?" Gray Clothes took a deep breath, exhausted the cigarette in his hand, and patted his companion With emotion on his shoulders, he said: "Okay, the same person is not the same, don't think about it. I'll go back first, you smoke slowly."
…
Ye Xuan on the other side didn't know that he had become the talking point of the two supernatural beings who came out to smoke on the fifth floor. Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care. All his attention is now on the sudden snowfall when the heavy snow comes. On the unconscious Ling Jiaze.
Just like when the two of them met for the first time in C University after the end of the world, Ling Jiaze's whole body was feverish, and he didn't react at all to what happened outside. If it wasn't for the signs of the crystal nucleus that Ye Xuan put in his hand being absorbed, he wouldn't be able to tell whether Ling Jiaze had a fever or was promoted.
But even though he knew that he was going up, Ye Xuan couldn't let go of the worries in his heart. Since he brought him back and helped him change his clothes, he never left the bed except to go out and say hello to Shen Ping.
He vaguely felt that he was more afraid of something happening to Ling Jiaze than he was a few months ago.
He didn't know if this was a good omen, but he didn't want anything to happen to Ling Jiaze, it was true.
In addition, he used his rare free time to recall the events of his previous life, and combined the things he heard in his two lifetimes to form a vague truth.
—
In his previous life, after Shen Ping brought people to Xiangping Town, he was trapped here first, because he didn't know that all the zombies in the town were controlled by spiritual zombies to keep them in captivity. He didn't choose to deal with the spiritual zombies in the warehouse like in this life. , but decided to lead people to break through.
It is true that he is powerful, but there are too many zombies in Xiangping Town, and they were soon cornered by the zombies.
Just when Shen Ping was about to die in battle, the heavy snowfall in January came. The spiritual zombie who controlled all the zombies and several of its subordinates fell into a deep sleep when the heavy snow arrived, and naturally lost control over the other zombies in the town.
After the siege was lifted, Shen Ping finally took the opportunity to escape Xiangping Town with his people. It's just that his body was injured when he broke through, and his abilities were overdrawn. He couldn't survive the promotion that came soon after, and he became the second young master who died young in the northwest base in his impression.
As for Xiangping Town, Ye Xuan's impression of this place actually came from what he mentioned when he heard people complain casually when he was helping to grow plants at the base.
He vaguely remembered that person saying: "If the batch of supplies in Xiangping Town is still there, why do we need to work overtime to produce vegetables from here?"
This is a very low-level wood-type power user. The total amount of vegetables produced in ten days and a half months is not as good as Ye Xuan's daily work. Ye Xuan often hears his complaints, so listen to him. When I went to Xiangping Town, a large amount of supplies had been destroyed, so I just heard about it, and didn't take it to heart.
If he hadn't heard this name accidentally at the base, he wouldn't have remembered that he had heard such a gossip before. After all, it was some time after the end of the world when he arrived in City B, and the matter in Xiangping Town had long been resolved and forgotten. up.
Thinking about it now, the destroyed materials in his mouth should be the ones put away by the space zombies. Although I don't know what happened afterwards, I think that in the previous life, no one got this batch of supplies from this space-type zombie.
This will put him at ease.
…
"Tuk-tuk-"
After hearing the knock on the door, Ye Xuan half turned around and said, "Please come in."
Shen Ping walked in with a tray containing a large bowl of noodles, looked at Ling Jiaze who was still lying on the bed flushed, and said worriedly: "Is his fever still going away?"
Ye Xuan changed Ling Jiaze with a towel that was placed on his forehead to cool down, wiped the sweat on his neck and said, "This is due to the high fever caused by the promotion, which is different from the fever caused by inflammation in the body. After the breakthrough, the temperature will drop."
Shen Ping walked beside Ling Jiaze's bed, and said to Ye Xuan: "I'll look at him, you should eat something first."
Ye Xuan shook his head, "I'm worried."
Shen Ping sighed, he originally thought that his nephew was being kind to Ye Xuan because of the burden of shaving his head, but now it seems that Ye Xuan's feelings for him are not bad at all. Although it is difficult to judge whether it is love or not, at least the weight in his heart will not be light.
He put the tray aside, sat beside Ling Jiaze's bed and asked Ye Xuan, "How long will it take for him to wake up like this?"
"I don't know either."
Because he was in a coma for three days inexplicably when he was promoted before, Ye Xuan was not sure whether Ling Jiaze could break through and wake up in one day like those supernatural beings he knew in his previous life, so he didn't give Shen Ping an accurate word. , so as not to cause complications.
Fearing that Shen Ping would continue to ask, Ye Xuan changed the subject first: "By the way, Second Uncle Shen, have you decided when to leave here?"
"Tentatively scheduled for tomorrow morning, but if the snow is too heavy, we can only stay in town for a few days. Fortunately, the blockade of this street has been lifted. We collected a batch of supplies from several nearby streets and insisted on a period of time." Time is still fine."
Ye Xuan looked at the flying snow outside the window, and said in a heavy tone: "If possible, I suggest Second Uncle Shen take someone out of here as soon as possible."
"What's wrong?"
"He has been stuck in front of this hurdle of the second level for a while, and has not made any progress. As a result, he fell into a coma and broke through as soon as it snowed today. Don't you think it's a coincidence?"
"You mean Jia Ze's coma has something to do with the heavy snowfall?"
"It's more the result of thick accumulation, otherwise he wouldn't be the only one who passed out as soon as it snowed." Ye Xuan affirmed Ling Jiaze's own strength and said: "But I think it has something to do with this heavy snow. The snow A few days ago, I felt that my abilities had become more active, and today I felt that the abilities have increased. On the surface, this is a good thing, but the last time I felt this way was the first heavy snow after the end of the world. Once, if I remember correctly, the zombies also became stronger after that snow. So I was wondering, will the heavy snow this time make the zombies stronger?"
First, he had a fight with zombies, and then he had a long fight with a bunch of old fried dough sticks, and now Shen Ping, who had to face a comatose nephew, suddenly heard such a terrible guess from him, and his whole body was in a bad mood.
Ye Xuan saw that Shen Ping's face was not good-looking, so he pretended to be relaxed and smiled and said: "Of course, this is all my guess, so I can't be sure. But I don't think there may be many people walking the road from Ping Town to City B. It won't be easy to leave sooner or later, and it's better to leave this weird place as soon as possible than to stay here for a while."
Shen Ping was silent for a while, and didn't answer when to leave, but said meaningfully: "Ye Xuan, I can't see through you more and more."
Ye Xuan looked back without hesitation, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I'm a human and not a zombie, what difference does it make if I see through or not?"
"Haha, well said!" Shen Ping didn't get angry when he touched a soft nail, but simply put aside the investigation of Ye Xuan. Just like what he said, he can't be the zombie, the enemy of human beings. What's the point of pursuing what secrets he hides
"What's good?" Ling Jiaze heard his little uncle's laughter just after waking up. After closing his eyes and asking a question, he rubbed his slightly sore eyes, and when he opened them, he met the two pairs of straight faces next to the bed. Looking into his own eyes blankly, he was so frightened that he sat up and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?!"
"Why do you say you are looking at you like this?" The joy of seeing him waking up was completely dispelled by his words. Shen Ping poked his forehead with joy and anger, and said angrily: "You have been feverish all day. , don’t you know?”
Ling Jiaze blinked, his face full of innocence, "Huh? Do I have a fever? I think I'm in very good health now."
Ye Xuan looked at him with a smile, and said gently: "You have been in a coma since you came out of the underground warehouse and started to level up. Now you are a second-level ability user."
Thinking about how troublesome it is for a supernatural person to upgrade as Ye Xuan said, and to use crystal cores and find opportunities, Ling Jiaze touched his nose, and said with some surprise: "I feel like I just fell asleep, so I'm going to upgrade." gone?"
Ye Xuan didn't say how frightening he looked like he had been in high fever for several hours, but brought him a coat, took him to the window in the corridor and said, "Come and experience the world of second-order superhumans." !"
Ling Jiaze stretched out his right hand out of the window, closed his eyes and quietly felt for a while the feeling of cold snowflakes falling on his palm and gradually melting. A moment later, his right hand, which was covered with snow, suddenly clenched a fist, and hundreds of sharp ice blades appeared outside the window, and they chose to devour people in mid-air.
"this… "
As if he didn't expect so many ice blades to be condensed from his charged blow, Ling Jiaze was stunned for a moment, the right hand controlling the ice blades was hanging in the air, not knowing what to do next.
Ye Xuan reminded him: "There is no one in the opposite building."
Ling Jiaze responded, turned his wrist, and more than a hundred ice blades spun neatly in the air, then flew straight to the wall of the opposite building, piercing them in a ring shape.
"The power is not yet..."
"Kaka—"
Shen Ping hadn't finished his words of praise when he heard something outside.
The three of them quieted down instantly, and they all looked in the direction of the cracking sound, and saw cracks appearing on the wall of the solid red brick house opposite.
Shen Ping, Ye Xuan, Ling Jiaze: ...
The cracking sound quickly turned into a clicking sound, and the cracks radiated along the place where the ice blade entered, and the walls that were neatly stacked quickly became skewed. Suddenly, with a "bang", a brick fell out of the wall overwhelmed. This brick is like the first domino card to fall, successfully bringing the surrounding bricks off the wall.
"Boom!"
There was a sudden loud noise, and a large piece of bricks fell down, and the outer wall of the entire building opposite disappeared with the loud noise.
A few seconds later, the building also became chaotic—
"What happened?"
"Quick, look what's going on outside!"
…
Ling Jiaze: ...
Ye Xuan coughed lightly, and threw the pot out decisively: "The quality of this building is really bad, a tofu project!"
Shen Ping: I believed in your evil!
