"Venus".
Lin You was called that before.
Like the literal meaning, it is the morning star of all people, the light of dawn, the distant starlight that lights up before dawn and leads people forward. Or to put it another way, it symbolizes death and new life.
But for Lin You, "Venus" is just a general symbol.
It in no way represents herself.
It's just that the time related to these three words is indeed stable, bright, and it can be said to be full of hope...
"boom!!"
The shock brought by the impact made the wall dust rustle, and her back hit the wall, Lin You let out a muffled groan because of the pain coming back from the shock.
With no room to breathe, she supported herself with one hand and quickly rolled into the shadow beside the bed.
Spikes protruded densely from the wall like a nailboard, pointing in the direction she was avoiding, and the longest tips were dyed red.
Because of the momentary stiffness caused by the pain, she couldn't completely dodge the attack. Although it was a flesh wound that would heal quickly, frequently activating abilities would consume energy, which was a disadvantage in a stalemate battle.
... That's why it's called a tasteless ability.
For a long time, Lin You felt that it was really, really useless.
The pain of the wound was replaced by the itching of healing, and the pursuit came in an instant. Lin You took a breath, raised her face and stared at the coming fist wind—
Smash down! !
The huge fist, almost reaching half of Lin You's head, narrowly brushed her cheek and hammered into the wooden bedside table!
The sawdust flew, and the sharp pieces of wood flew across the eyes. Lin You felt a slight pain on his forehead, and warm liquid flowed through his right eye, half of his vision was covered with a hazy red.
This bedside table was made by herself, and Xiao Xiao painted a little red-like pattern on it, but now it has become incomplete fragments, and the dots of red do not know whether they are dyes or dripping blood.
No time to think about these.
Lin You stepped on the bed and jumped up.
At any rate, she was considered a half-strengthening system, her physical fitness far surpassed that of ordinary people, and she had never relaxed and exercised. Her extraordinary jumping ability made her almost touch the ceiling when she jumped across the sky.
The man who missed a punch and failed to sweep to the side suddenly raised his face back, and looked at Lin You who was changing positions in the air.
The man reported his name, Gao Shuo, before starting the war. People are tall and strong as their name suggests, standing face to face can bring a sense of oppression, and the destructive power in battle cannot be underestimated.
The opponent's physique and strength are far superior to his own, and he is proficient and flexible in the use of abilities. In comparison, Lin You's defense is weak, and his attack methods are also very poor. His bullets are limited, and each shot needs to be used with caution. Because of the differences in gender and body shape, Lin You's good at physical skills has an extremely low attack limit. No matter how you look at it, there is no possibility of winning.
But - she can survive until now, it is not so easy to deal with!
Gao Shuo's rapidly narrowing pupils reflected his petite and light body.
Black trousers wrapped the slender legs, and were closed by hiking boots at the ankles, outlining the graceful lines. No matter how you look at it, it tends to be thin and thin, but when it attacks, it is full of strength, like a dexterous long whip, chopping down from top to bottom!
— can’t escape.
Lin You's frame is small and light, and she lacks strength compared to a similarly trained adult man, but in another direction, she is also more agile and quick, and is good at winning with speed.
This attack hit Gao Shuo's arm that was raised to resist, even though there was a ball of mud covering his body to resist, it still shattered the wrist bone of his left hand.
When he was suffering from pain, Lin You's separated calf took advantage of the situation and pulled inward to hook his shoulders forcefully. The two of them fell to the ground due to inertia. Lin You's legs tightly wrapped around Gao Shuo's neck. His throat...!
"Well… !?"
There was a sharp stabbing pain in his thigh.
It was the lump of mud attached to his body! The soil turned into a thorny rope and stuck into her leg. In the moment of stalemate, Gao Shuo seized the opportunity to break free from the predicament.
Lin You heard a sneer squeezed out of her throat, her right leg was held, and she was smashed against the wall again in a whirl! Her waist hit the raised part of the wall, which was the edge of the window sill. She failed to catch her body, and the moment she fell to the ground, the protruding spike pierced through her right shoulder blade.
… it hurts.
Lin You gritted her teeth and swallowed back the pain.
The penetrating thorns slowly bent, like hooks hanging up her shoulders, she took a breath, raised her upper body, and could feel the tiny barbs spreading out from the inside of her body.
"... I really underestimated you."
Gao Shuo held his injured wrist with a gloomy expression.
Although it was also because he was injured before, he was almost strangled by surprise. For him, the anger caused by the shame at that moment was better than the shock that his life was hanging by a thread.
However, after putting away his contempt, he still won.
Gao Shuo looked down at the tired woman on the ground.
She is very small and slender, as if she could be lifted with one hand. At this moment, he was forced to lean against the wall, eyes slightly closed, the blood from his forehead streaked red on his fair cheeks, wet his clothes along his slender neck, and his thin chest heaved slowly.
He has read the information, of course he knows that she is not as... young as she looks.
But with that immature face and slender figure, it undoubtedly looks like a child.
"Hey."
He kicked her.
... The wet eyelashes trembled slightly, and she opened her eyes.
The dark blue pupils covered by shadows are mixed with blood, which has a kind of heart-shattering beauty. Seemingly losing the power to resist, she just stared at this side with silent eyes.
"You don't have to... resist, I didn't intend to kill you." Gao Shuo smiled, knelt down and took away her gun, and grabbed Lin You's jaw with his good hand, "If you are more obedient, you won't To be so badly injured. After all... I've been thinking about it since a long time ago, the beautiful 'morning star' as beautiful as a doll."
Gao Shuo's thumb brushed her cheek vigorously: "Be more obedient, and I will take you away completely."
"..."
The muddy gaze easily brought back unpleasant memories of Lin You.
She pursed her lips in disgust, and the lower half of her face was tightly bound. The man asked her: "The potion that turns zombies back into humans—I know, the Linshan base has finally researched it! The finished product must have been handed over to you during the beast tide. Where did you put it?"
"There's no such thing...cough!"
There was an iron smell in Lin You's throat, and she couldn't help coughing: "Even if there is, do you think I will stay until now?"
"No, you have." Gao Shuo shook his head, he seemed to be convinced of his source, "Even if you don't have the finished potion, you must have the method of making the potion, you are the 'day star'!"
"… Uh!"
There was a tearing pain from her right shoulder, and the continuous blood loss made her right hand cold and numb. Lin You clenched her teeth, knowing that she was not in a good state.
"Venus".
Rather than referring to her, it is better to refer to the experimental plan with her as a sample. Headed by Linshan, she united with various bases, and started with her unique ability of "not being infected by zombie virus" among tens of millions of people, to develop a special medicine to block zombie transformation.
The plan was a success.
Before the sudden swarm of beasts destroyed everything, they were able to steadily produce injections that could interrupt zombification within two minutes of being injured. And at the end of the experiment, a drug sample that might turn zombies back into humans was indeed produced.
Maybe, because it's just an unfinished product that hasn't been tested, and it doesn't necessarily work.
And those unfinished samples disappeared long before the beast tide came.
It's true that Lin You has all the experimental data, but... she doesn't intend to hand it over to this person.
"I said, there is no such thing... Cough cough..." Facing his pressing question, Lin You coughed up a mouthful of blood, and the hair on her temples was stuck to her cheeks with sweat and blood, she suddenly laughed, "... Moreover, I am afraid that you have not only underestimated me."
Gao Shuo was taken aback.
Their current position is where Lin You hid at the beginning. To his right is the desk under the window. The potted Chlorophytum placed on the edge of the table seemed to be squeezed by something, shook slightly, and fell down.
Snapped.
Plastic flower pots fell to the ground.
Behind Gao Shuo was a spirit! The moment he realized something was wrong, he wanted to retreat, but Lin You's hanging left hand suddenly reached out like lightning, and grabbed his collar tightly!
He was obviously still guarding his companion outside! Gao Shuo turned his head to look in the direction of the window. The half-open window was still full of moonlight, and there was nothing... No, were those two vines so long before
Thin vines hung over the window sill, meandering forward on the desk, and quietly approached Gao Shuo's face.
The green vines are covered with orange flower buds, which show an almost transparent color under the moonlight. When they bloom suddenly, the room is filled with a rich and intoxicating fragrance.
Gao Shuo, who was the first to bear the brunt, groaned inwardly, but it was already too late, his eyes gradually blanked in the scent that hit him...
Lin You pulled out the dagger from her boot.
The stabbing on the right shoulder softened after losing control, she pulled herself out with pain, took a breath, pointed the tip of the knife at the man's unprotected eyeball, and stabbed deeply with the weight of her whole body.
…
The sharp pain probably awakened the man's consciousness. At the moment when he was nailed to the floor, he stared at the intact, bloodshot eyeball, and opened his mouth: "..."
No sound was made, and the pupils had already collapsed.
The bright red liquid spilled over the side of the overturned flowerpot.
Lin You wanted to pick it up... Her hands were also dirty. After wiping the clothes hastily, she put the fallen spider plants and impatiens that had been planted under the desk on the table.
There were red fingerprints on the rim of the light-colored pot, which she wiped off carefully.
The desk is covered with cold moonlight. Outside the window, the tall and thin man who was guarding the yard felt uneasy. Before the action, Gao Shuo had warned him that matters in the house would be settled in the house, and told him to stand far away, and not to go in unless he was called.
So he didn't interfere with the obvious fighting sounds in the room, not to mention that it sounded like the little girl was being held down and beaten.
But now... He always felt that it was a little too quiet.
The tall and thin man swallowed, and called out to the dark window, "Brother?"
no respond.
His voice seemed to be swallowed by the silence of the night.
The tall and thin man felt his heart skip a beat, knowing that something was wrong. After all, he is a companion of life and death, without hesitation, he wrapped his whole body in the wind, and rushed into the house - even faster than him was the rustling vine, which sealed the window in the blink of an eye.
Mutated creatures! When… ? !
The thin and tall man turned the wind into a blade, cutting towards the dense flower vines.
His ability is to control the wind. Under him, the free Night Breeze will become the sharpest and most flexible weapon.
As expected, the wind blades would cut through the vines cleanly, but they were sent out sharply, but they were gently blown away before approaching the target.
"..."
This scene has never happened before.
In fact, it has happened many times. When encountering mutant creatures or supernatural beings who are also wind-type, if he doesn't hold tightly to the controlled wind, the control will be taken away.
A rough chirping sounded from behind.
The tall and thin man turned his head stiffly, and there was a blue thin-necked bird on the courtyard wall, with a long neck and beautiful tail feathers. The flowing luster on the thin feathers complemented the moonlight.
Fine ice crystals fell from above it, and birds with white wings flapped their wings and circled.
Another mutant creature, what's going on? !
One of them has the same attributes as him, and he can't handle it alone! The tall, thin man glanced at the vine-covered window, but there was no movement inside.
With a cruel heart, he avoided the flying ice picks and ran to the resting courtyard next door, shouting: "Sihui! Help!"
On the other side of the courtyard wall, Pan Sihui, a woman among the three, popped up and shot at the blue slender-necked bird.
The thin and tall man got a chance to breathe, and turned around to attack the blue bird with the ballistic trajectory - deal with this one first, they can always run past if they can't win!
No one noticed that the rattan curtain hanging in front of the window slowly moved away.
The ice cones suddenly became denser, and the blue bird in the air paused slightly, was hit by a shot in the wing, and fell down. At the same time, the wind shield surrounded by the tall and thin man stopped for a moment.
-boom.
In the blink of an eye, he dodged the ice pick, but he couldn't dodge a gunshot mixed with the gunfire.
"… what!"
Her companion fell to the ground suddenly, Pan Sihui suddenly turned her head, and there was no one at the window. With a dazed effort, she was immediately entangled in the vines that quietly climbed up the wall, and fell into the yard.
She quickly pulled out the dagger and cut off the vines that entangled her. She didn't care about why the two birds stopped attacking, and just rolled and ran towards the gate of the courtyard.
The iron gate of the yard didn't have any complicated locks and could be opened easily, but the moment she pulled the door, the bullet hit her wrist precisely.
"...Ah! Ahh!" Pan Sihui covered her wound and screamed belatedly.
She leaned against the door and turned her head. The little girl who had opened the door for her was walking down the veranda holding a gun in her left hand, pointing steadily at her forehead.
The moonlight fell on that pale face, and the shallow lake blue eyes contained a cold light, thin and sharp, like the cold light reflected by the blade.
"Don't... don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
Pan Sihui knew she was trembling. She has always cherished her life. Knowing that she is not good at fighting, she has always avoided going to the front line. Fortunately, she has a useful ability and basically does not leave the base. This time... this time it's all because...
"Gao Shuo... It's all Gao Shuo! It's them! They want to attack you! I persuaded you!" Pan Sihui shouted, "Don't kill me, my ability, my ability is to create crystal nuclei! I can help You, me, me..."
Pan Sihui looked at the girl with an indifferent expression, as if being strangled by the neck, her voice gradually weakened: "...I can do anything..."
"Don't worry."
She doesn't know about the Morning Star, and she's not a combatant... This three-person team didn't come here for herself. And since she is a precious ability user who has been protected all the time, why did she come out of the base
Lin You looked at the shivering woman at the door: "You answer me a few questions first."
Pan Sihui was taken aback for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded repeatedly: "I will answer, I will definitely answer!"
Lin You asked, "What are you here for?"
"Ah? This, this..." It seemed a little difficult to say, Pan Sihui hesitated for a while, "Actually we... no, it was Gao Shuo, who escaped from the base by robbing supplies."
Lin You: "...from the base? Why?"
No matter how you look at it, the three of them are not strong enough to walk sideways in this apocalypse, at most they can barely protect themselves. Lin You couldn't think of the reason why they left the protected base.
Pan Sihui said: "Because after the beast tide happened a while ago..."
A while ago, there was a beast tide.
These two keywords provoked Lin You's nerves, and she interrupted the woman's narration reflexively: "What beast tide? When was it a while ago?"
"When...you, don't you know?"
Pan Sihui was more stunned than she: "It's the beast tide one and a half months ago! It's exactly the same as the one two years ago..."
"..."
Lin You tightened her grip on the butt of the gun.
she does not know. Pujiang base is not far from here, but she didn't feel anything. The gentle daily life blurred her perception of time, but speaking of a month and a half ago... she vaguely grasped the doubts in her memory.
About the same time ago, one day she saw abnormal flocks of birds migrating south, as well as the "uneasy" mutated creatures that Xiao Xiao mentioned.
Xiao Xiao...it couldn't be Xiao Xiao.
But the zombie king who controlled the beast tide to attack humans two years ago should have been killed by my sister!
Lin You froze in place and did not respond for a long while. The bloody memories of the past in her mind were pulled out and mixed with the chaotic thoughts.
Pan Sihui continued: "After that animal swarm, the Pujiang base was completely destroyed... There are not many people left, and the head of our base is also dead, Gao Shuo." She suddenly showed obvious disgust, "He is simply a lunatic , wanted to take this opportunity to attack Guoguo... the daughter left behind by our base chief, was stopped by someone, injured that person, grabbed the rest of the supplies and ran away."
She took a cautious look at Lin You, and added: "Cao Feng, that one over there, is the brother he befriended before the end of the world, I was threatened..."
Lin You was silent for a moment: "Is there a new family of three in the Pujiang base recently?"
"Yes, yes!" Pan Sihui's eyes lit up when he heard this question, "Is it from Xindu, right? I remembered, you are the one Du Yan was talking about when he first came to the base! He said it several times... Cough, We didn't have any manpower at that time, so we didn't come to you..."
"But they are still alive! The woman was the one who was injured by Gao Shuo, and the injury was not serious! I know where they are, and I can take you to find them..."
Lin You said, "No need."
Under her unwavering gaze, Pan Sihui shut up: "Oh, oh, then... I'll tell you whatever you ask, you won't kill me, will you?"
Lin You was also thinking about this question.
If the time is pushed forward a bit, before she breaks away from her companion and lives with Xiao Xiao, she may let the person in front of her go without any care. But now... Lin You would not completely trust the enemy, she was assessing the danger of this person.
Let her go, will she just leave like this
Could she be hiding something behind her
She knows other supernatural beings, is there anyone who might pose a threat
It is undoubtedly the most convenient to solve the problem here... Lin You moved her injured right hand and held the harmonica in her pocket. The uneven pattern on the wooden shell was against her palm.
She kept silent, and Pan Sihui's heart sank more and more.
She doesn't want to be killed, she doesn't want to die yet! Silence was like an invisible hand, tightly grasping her throat, in the silent torture... the door behind her moved.
Click, someone pushed the door open. The girl with the gun showed surprise on her face, and even turned her eyes away, as if she was completely distracted by this subtle movement.
Pan Sihui's heart was about to jump out of her throat.
She turned her head... The moment she saw the person coming, she slammed into the gap that was pushed away!
hurry up! Hurry up! can run away! !
She didn't know that her reckless actions stepped on the tense nerves of her opponent. Lin You almost didn't hesitate, and subconsciously fired!
-boom!
The author has something to say:
Of the two, Xiao Xiao has extremely high combat prowess but can't fight, and Yuzu is a wolf with no emotions, which is also a kind of complementarity.
After struggling for two days, I still wrote the battle process in detail. This chapter is the ruthless and handsome grapefruit moment! perhaps.
But I still remember that this is a daily sweet article, and it will be gone in the future, please watch it carefully...
