The scene in the open space looks full of weirdness and madness, and people are constantly joining the team of people spinning around and chanting. At this time, throwing a few thunders can kill half of them.
"Aren't they going to hide for a while?" Qiu Shi asked.
"Those who cannot be struck by lightning are those who are favored." The old man said.
"Are you sick?" Qiu Shi couldn't understand.
"They also need to replenish 'energy'." The old man said, "The lightning in the 'jungle' contains some fungal spores, which allows them to maintain the number of fungi in their bodies. They think this stuff can help them resist the harsh living environment."
"How did we get in touch?" Qiu Shi was stunned.
"Fungi can survive in any environment, and they hope they can do the same." The old man shook his head and sighed.
"Madman." Qiu Shi turned around and pushed his wheelchair, "I'll take you away now, to the supermarket first."
"No," the old man stopped him, "They will become suspicious. These people are crazy. They will have a carnival after the Jungle. Then they can take advantage of the chaos to get me away."
"Okay." Qiu Shi frowned and closed the window.
"You go back to the supermarket," the old man said. "They will become suspicious if you stay too long. I usually don't meet them for too long."
"Are you afraid of exposing your secrets?" Qiu Shi asked.
"There's only so much craftsmanship," the old man said. "If you use it too much, you'll always see flaws."
Back at the supermarket, the team members had closed the doors and windows.
There is no electromagnetic protection wall in Yuncheng here, so we can only try our best to block it.
What they face is not only dense and powerful lightning, but also infected people. After every lightning, infected people will appear, and fungal spores in the air will quickly infect everyone they come into contact with.
In Qiu Shi's view, some infected people simply followed the "jungle". They seemed to be following the fungus until they were stopped by Daheishan and stopped outside Yuncheng.
Now with the addition of more than a hundred crazy fungus believers, he was not sure what would happen that night. What he was sure of was that he would not be able to rest.
"Sang Fan is alone over there. Can you handle it if something happens?" Qiu Shi stood by the south-facing window on the second floor, looking at the snow in the darkness ahead that was being rolled up by the strong wind.
The silvery white snow outlines every trace of wind, like a group of dancers wearing white long skirts jumping in the air.
"I only control Xiao Zuo and Xiao You now. Sang Fan can handle it on his own," Xing Bi said. "I will only control her directly when necessary."
"You mean you are connected to her now, but you don't interfere with her actions and judgment, right?" Qiu Shi looked at Xing Bi.
"Yes," Xing Bi said, "I believe she won't make a mistake."
"Are there biochemical bodies that you don't believe in?" Qiu Shi asked.
"Yes," Xing Bi said, "being infinitely close to humans means being changeable."
"Those black-blooded people are running into the street." Zhao Yi's voice came from the earphones.
"The prayers were quite lively," Qiu Shi saw people starting to run back and forth on the street. "Close the doors and windows and don't have any contact with them."
"Received." Zhao Yi said.
Apart from these, he didn't know what else they needed to do in such a situation.
"This is my first time carrying the 'jungle' outside the protective wall of Yuncheng." Qiu Shi said.
"You are not affected, just avoid the lightning." Xing Bi said.
"But all my team members will be affected," Qiu Shi said.
"Qiu Shi." Xing Bi glanced at him.
"Huh?" Qiu Shi looked at him.
"If something serious happens, you can't guarantee the safety of every team member," Xing Bi said, "Do you understand?"
"Understood," Qiu Shi turned to look out the window, "How could I not understand? Save yourself first. That's what I said to my own brothers."
"But you can't do it." Xing Bi said.
"These team members..." Qiu Shi whispered, and made sure that the call was closed before continuing, "They are not my brothers. I will try my best, but I am not as kind and great as you worry about. When I grow up, I don’t know how many people have died in front of me. If I really saved everyone, I might have become an immortal by now.”
Xing Bi laughed: "I thought you would say he was dead."
"I have become so great. I must become an immortal. Can I just die?" Qiu Shi said.
A few minutes later, the wind blew snow and sand, hitting the windows, as well as all kinds of dry grass roots and mud wrapped in the wind. The glass made a "clang" sound in the wind, and it sounded like thousands of troops. The suffocating feeling of being stepped on overhead.
Qiu Shi opened the map and left a message for Li Feng, telling him the exact time when "Jungle" arrived in Xima Town, and then went to the first floor with Xing Bi.
The people on the first floor, except Xiao Zuo and Xiao You, all had serious expressions. It was also the first time for these people to encounter the "jungle" outside Yuncheng. Even they were not as good as Qiu Shi. They were all in the inner city. Safer area.
"Captain," Cao Shu came over, "Do you have any cigarettes?"
Qiu Shi took out the cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him: "It's okay, it will be over in a while."
"The main reason is this noise," Cao Shu said, "it sounds like a clanking sound that is unsettling."
"If there's going to be a fight, you must not be crazy if you open fire." Qiu Shi said.
"It's different," Lu Yu said. "This kind of sound comes from nature, which makes people feel powerless to compete."
"I even wrote a poem." Qiu Shi walked around the supermarket and checked it again.
The map was quiet, and the only things that could be seen were these bright spots in the supermarket, and the bright spots of the old man and Sang Fan in the tower next to them.
The crazy black-blooded people outside were still running in the wind. Qiu Shi thought about what the old man said about his parents. Under their leadership, those immune humans were also like these people now. Because of their words and a hint , and make all kinds of crazy moves.
When the first blue lightning appeared in the sky, Qiu Shi heard cheers from all around amid the roar of the wind.
"Here we come." Zhao Yi said.
"Have all the inhibitors been replenished?" Qiu Shi asked.
"It's all done." Zhao Yi replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a second flash of lightning.
Looking out of the south window, one can see dark blue light starting to flash in the distant sky, and lightning flashes from the sky to the ground. Occasionally, when it touches the ground, it will explode into a small yellow light.
If you don't consider the death that a "jungle" brings to the creatures passing by, this scene is very beautiful, with blue chain lightning and silvery snow mist dancing around them.
Qiu Shi turned his head and glanced at Xing Bi, who was standing next to him. The black lines extended from the side of his neck to his chin and behind his ears.
"Can you feel anything?" Qiu Shi asked. He knew that Xing must be feeling whether there were symbionts or infected people outside, the most deadly things in the chaos caused by nature.
"I didn't feel it," Xing Bi said, "nothing."
Judging from the tone, it seemed like nothing had relaxed him in any way.
"Isn't it nice to have nothing?" Qiu Shi said.
"There shouldn't be nothing," Xing Bi said, "It's a little strange."
"Be careful," Qiu Shi said on the team channel, "there may be something wrong."
The people in the room immediately started to move. Zhao Yi was a captain after all, and he quickly assigned personnel. The front and rear doors and windows were guarded, and the cannons were mounted.
Qiu Shi stared at the map. Except for the black blood people and the source of symbiosis in Lair No. 1, other living creatures could still be seen on the map.
Lightning slowly began to advance to the top of Xima Town. The turret and supermarket were located in the middle of the town. The south side of the town was already covered by lightning. Many people ran towards the town from the south and knelt down in front of the turret. In the square, prepare for the lightning selection.
When a bolt of blue lightning hit a dead tree behind the supermarket, Qiu Shi saw several bright spots on the southernmost edge of the map.
"There is something," he stared at the bright spots, "an infected person."
Infected people are actually not scary, especially if they have sophisticated weapons. After all, they are all human bodies with weak strength and poor defense.
But when bright spots continued to appear from the south of the map, Qiu Shi's heart sank.
"A lot." Xing Bi said.
"Yes." Qiu Shi made a rough estimate. At this moment, there were already twenty or thirty bright spots, and they did not stop. More bright spots continued to enter the map.
"I'll go take a look." Xing Bi said.
"Wait a minute," Qiu Shi grabbed his arm, "Wait a minute."
"There is no danger to me in cleaning up these infected people," Xing Bi looked at him. "It will be a big trouble when they all come here."
"If you find any symbiote or biochemical body, return immediately." Qiu Shi said.
"As ordered," Xing Bi turned around and walked towards the door, "Partner."
Qiu Shi smiled.
In the short period of less than a second when the door is opened and closed, the whistling of the suddenly increasing wind can be heard, as well as the roar of the black blood believers wrapped in the wind. The chaotic world is less than here. In one second, it strongly impacted everyone in the room.
"Is he going alone?" Lu Yu asked, "Doesn't he need to go with two more people?"
"Feel the power of the biochemical body." Zhao Yi said.
Qiu Shi said nothing. His attention was focused on the bright spots that kept appearing, lined up in a row, moving slowly with the movement of the "jungle" from south to north.
Their target was not Xima Town, they were just passing by.
But these people in the town cannot avoid them. As long as they enter the town, there will be a killing. Xing will be able to clear out some of them, which can at least reduce their pressure.
But now no one can judge how many infected people are in this storm.
There is no way to know whether they are simply infected or infected with symbiote control behind them.
He stared at the map and contacted Li Feng.
"What?" Li Feng's voice came out of the headphones almost immediately.
"There are a lot of infected people. I can't judge the number now. There are nearly a hundred that can be seen on the map," Qiu Shi walked to the corner of the supermarket and whispered, "It's still increasing. They are following the 'Lightning' Moving north, you will eventually arrive outside Cloud City."
"Zhuyuan and Shidi have not received such feedback." Li Feng said, "Can you handle it?"
"Zhuyuan and Shidi are not on the straight line to Yuncheng," Qiu Shi said, "They should be taking the shortest route... So, someone is controlling them."
"I'll ask the third team to go over immediately." Li Feng said, "Keep the captain's channel open."
"No, it's too dangerous," Qiu Shi said. "There are lightning everywhere. If they come here, they will be struck to death at least 200 times."
"Driving, the car is protected," Li Feng said, "They did not enter the house in Zhuyuan, they were in the car."
"Well," Qiu Shi responded. The Zhuyuan side was full of wooden and stone duplex houses. It was better to hide in the car than to stay in the house. "Is the captain of the third team Lin Sheng's partner?"
"Yes," Li Feng said, "My name is Liu Wu."
"Okay." Qiu Shi responded.
"Qiu Shi, if something happens," Li Feng whispered, "Baoxing will be with you and give up the team members."
"...I know." Qiu Shi said.
Xing Bi's bright spot moved very fast and had already encountered the infected. He rushed into the group of bright spots with the most infected people, and then saw those bright spots disappear instantly.
"Xing Bi." Qiu Shi said.
"Yes." Xing Bi replied.
"They are controlled by someone," Qiu Shi said. "There are no infected people in Zhuyuan and Shidi. They are taking a straight line to Yuncheng."
"Received." Xing Bi said.
"Keep the call on," Qiu Shi said, "I want to hear your voice at any time."
"One." Xing Bi said.
Qiu Shi was stunned and didn't react. Xing Bi's small bright spot on the map was moving quickly, followed by a bunch of infected people.
"Three." Xing Bi said.
Xing Bi's small bright spot turned back, and several infected people behind him disappeared at the same time.
"Five." Xing Bi continued.
"Your ancestor." Qiu Shi smiled.
Xing Bi cleaned up quickly. The infected people marched in a row. He tried his best to attract the infected people around him, but the queue of infected people was very long and had begun to appear on the streets near the center of the town.
Before Qiu Shi could speak, Sang Fan in the turret over there moved, climbed down from the window on the third floor, and began to clean up the infected people approaching this area.
Lightning also covered the middle of the town.
Qiu Shi ran to the other window and could see Sang Fan quickly cleaning up the first infected people to arrive in the gap between lightning.
"Everything within the range can be cleaned up," he told the team members. "Except for Sang Fan, any other indistinguishable injuries are accidental injuries."
It is estimated that the old man also received the news. The crazy black blood believers drew their knives and began to pounce on the infected.
"Qiu Shi," Xing Bi also started to recover, "there are more than expected. This should be an attack on Yuncheng, but we happened to be blocking the route."
The infected people on the map can no longer be seen clearly. They are all around them, and bright spots continue to enter the range from the south.
There is no telling how many more there are outside the scope of the map.
"Blast with artillery." Qiu Shi ran towards the door. He was going to go to the underground garage to drive the car out, pick up the old man and the team members and evacuate first.
"Li Feng." He also connected to Li Feng.
"What's going on?" Li Feng asked.
Zhao Yi fired at a group of infected people outside the window, and a piece of the glass was shattered by the blast.
It doesn't matter, the infected people will rush in when they come over, and the glass will break sooner or later.
Xiao Zuo and Xiao You also left the supermarket one after another and rushed into the pile of infected people.
"There are too many." Qiu Shi opened the door of the supermarket with his gun raised and glanced at the figures coming outside. "I want to lead people to withdraw. It's useless for three teams to come over."
"The reinforcements have already set off for Xima Town," Li Feng said. "If we retreat to the original route, we can meet them."
"I know." Qiu Shi said.
"If it's controlled by someone," Li Feng said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy to evacuate. The third team will pick you up and turn toward Zhuyuan first."
Qiu Shi thought for two seconds: "Okay."
"Captain!" Long Hao shouted, "Where to go?"
"I'll drive," Qiu Shi said, "You can get in the car when it arrives."
"It's dangerous outside!" Zhao Yi turned around and shouted, "Don't go alone."
Qiu Shi leaned against the door and took a look outside. It was less than twenty meters away from the entrance of the underground library. Above it was the corridor on the second floor, which could barely block the lightning.
"It should be no problem," Qiu Shi said, "You clear the area at the door and get ready to get in the car."
Before they could answer, he rushed out of the supermarket. As soon as he came out, several infected people who had just killed two black-blood believers discovered him and ran over after him.
Qiu Shi didn't give them a chance to get closer and fired directly.
It was windy outside. If it weren't for the house blocking it, Qiu Shi felt like he couldn't even touch the ground when he walked.
The map showed that there were only four infected people around him, and they were not too close. He ran towards the entrance of the underground garage.
After just two steps, two things that were not shown on the map roared out from a nearby store. They were probably frightened crazy by the overwhelming number of infected people. The one in front of him slashed at Qiu Shi. .
Qiu Shi suddenly bent down to avoid the knife and almost fell.
"Fuck | Your ancestor." He cursed, pulled out the knife on his leg before the second knife came over, raised his hand, and slit the man's throat.
The man clutched his throat and turned half a circle, and the black blood spurted out covered the face of the man behind him.
The one in the back screamed and ran back into the store.
This bunch of lunatics are going really crazy this time. They pray devoutly to the God of Fungi in the lightning, and then the God of Fungus brings them hundreds of infected people who kill everyone on sight.
I don’t know what it feels like to have this double psychological and physical death.
"Xing Bi," Qiu Shi entered the passage of the underground garage. The map showed that there were many infected people here, but they seemed to be on the first and second floors. "I will enter the garage immediately."
"Alone?" Xing Bi asked.
His little bright spot on the map started to move toward the garage almost at the same time, but there was still some distance, and it was obvious that he was surrounded by infected people.
"Yes, you don't have to come over," Qiu Shi lowered his voice and walked slowly into the garage. "It's safe down here. You go get the old man out. I'll drive to the supermarket, pick him up, and then go to the turret."
"Get in the car quickly," Xing Bi said, "The main body has entered the town."
Qiu Shi paused suddenly: "What? Where is it?"
"I don't know," Xing Bi said, "I can feel him, and he must be able to feel me. Don't leave me alone. Get in the car and go back to the supermarket. I'll be there soon."
Qiu Shi rushed into the garage without hesitation, and their car was parked at the entrance of the garage.
As soon as he got into the car, he saw a bright spot on the map moving quickly toward him along the street from west to east. This bright spot was obviously different from the infected, and it was a symbiote.
What followed this bright spot was a group of infected people, moving equally fast.
"Here it comes, just behind me." Qiu Shi started the car, stepped on the accelerator, the wheels made a sharp friction sound with the ground, turned a corner and rushed out of the garage.
All the infected people in the store on the first floor rushed out.
This scene that we had seen before reappeared again. The infected people threw themselves on the car, and the infected people on the second floor jumped on the roof of the car.
"Fuck your ancestors." Qiu Shi stepped on the accelerator and rushed forward, then stepped on the brakes to the bottom.
The car stopped suddenly and threw off several infected people on the car. When the car was thrown sideways, it crushed a few more. Qiu Shi felt the car body shake a few times.
The symbiote behind has already caught up.
When the bright spot on the map coincided with his own, Qiu Shi heard someone fall on the roof of the car. There was a "boom" and the car swayed.
Qiu Shi turned the car around and rushed towards the group of infected people in front of him.
The man on the roof jumped to the front of the car.
One punch broke the glass in front of Qiu Shi.
Qiu Shi had already raised his gun when the symbiote jumped to the front of the car, and shot him when he broke the glass.
A string of bullets shot into his chest amidst the shattering glass fragments.
Unfortunately, his neck was blocked by the roof of the car and he failed to hit his neck.
Qiu Shi knew he had no chance.
This symbiote's combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of Xing Bi, so he probably couldn't wait for Xing Bi to arrive.
"I'm sorry." Qiu Shi said.
The symbiote's hand got stuck around his neck, and in just a moment, Qiu Shi felt that the scene in front of him began to darken.
Then he was pulled out of the car and thrown to the back of the car, his consciousness was blurred.
It wasn't until he was pinned to the ground by a group of infected people that he slowly recovered.
These were the group of infected people who came with the symbiote. They were not ordinary infected people. These people even wore armor-like things. Qiu Shi took advantage of the chaos and struggled to kick them, making a clanging sound.
The symbiote came over, stood in front of Qiu Shi, and roared: "Xing Bi—is that you—"
The infected people who were pressing Qiu Shi raised their hands at the same time, all holding knives.
"Xing Bi, ignore him." Qiu Shi gritted his teeth.
Xing Bi said nothing.
But Qiu Shi saw him in the chaos.
Xing Bi jumped on the roof of the car, and a bolt of lightning flashed past him, and the dark blue light illuminated the side of his face.
When he looked at Qiu Shi, his eyes were filled with anger.
"Let him go." Xing Bi's hoarse voice was filled with murderous intent.
"It seems that you don't recognize me," the symbiote said, "How could I..."
Before he finished speaking, the knives held by the infected fell down and plunged into Qiu Shi's body.
"Let him go?"
At this moment, there was no pain.
Qiu Shi could clearly feel the position and depth of each knife thrust.
Fuck your ancestors.
Your ancestors will be dug up by me and thrown into the corpse cave to be made into fertilizer.
Qiu Shi heard a roar while in a daze.
It was the voices of Xiao Zuo Xiaoyou and Sang Fan.
Angry, painful, murderous.
This is also the roar in Xing Bi's heart.
Qiu Shi's vision was a little blurry. He felt that his eyes were a little blurry. When he felt the blood pouring out of the wound, he found that all the infected people around him had stopped.
The hundreds of infected people who poured into Xima Town seemed to have been pressed on the pause button after the roar.
Lightning continued to strike, and in the dark blue light, the stationary infected looked like ghosts.
Only the dazed Black Blood believers were still swaying around.
Xing Bi slowly squatted down on the roof of the car, as if to get a clear look at the symbiote in front of him.
Invisible murderous intent began to spread, in the cold wind, in the streaks of lightning, and in the flying snowflakes.
At this moment, the stationary infected person slowly turned around and looked at Xing Bi at the same time.
Qiu Shi felt his hands and feet starting to feel cold.
His partner Xing Bi disappeared.
"Long time no see." Xing Bi said.
The author has something to say:
Continue tomorrow.
Our Brother Shi, there will never be a good time for this injury.
By the way, I saw that many comments were deleted yesterday. Can you guess why they were deleted﹁_﹁.
