Accidents always come when you are not prepared.
It snowed all night last night, and it didn't stop until morning. When Lin You got up, there was still light snow in the sky, and a thick layer of white snow had piled up at the door.
Sprinkle some salt in the yard after sweeping the snow later.
Lin You thought so while serving breakfast. Today's breakfast was still dumplings, one of which Linyou wrapped with small golden peanuts was eaten by Xiao Xiao.
Unprepared, Xiao Xiao bit down, but knocked his teeth, covered his mouth depressedly and spat it out.
Lin You smiled and asked her to open her mouth: "I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you in advance, let me see... Well, it's nothing. Well, this means that you will have good luck this year."
Bai Guo looked at the little peanut enviously, and agreed: "Yeah."
Zhaocai buried his face in the rice bowl and didn't lift it up.
After dinner, Xiao Xiao goes to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Ginkgo combs the big cat who is full of food and drink, and Lin You plans to go out to sweep the snow off the door, and take care of Xiao Hong who is hibernating by the way.
It seemed to be extremely cold today. Lin You opened the door with a salt jar, and the cold current rushed in. The people behind her and the cat shivered. After she closed the door, she let out a long breath.
Lin You put down the salt jar on the flower shelf at the door, and when she turned to look for a broom, she saw a black figure in the distance through the open courtyard door.
... It's people.
He was too far away, and he was motionless in the snow, Lin You was a little uncertain. She wanted to take a closer look, but she only took a step forward, and the figure seemed to move a bit, looking towards her...
"—"
The chill of being targeted climbed up her spine, and at the critical moment, Lin You barely dodged backwards—
The sharp claws slashed diagonally from top to bottom.
It was as if he had exchanged with the air, and in the blink of an eye, that person flashed in front of him from a distance. Lin You only saw a bright red cold eye under his long gray hair, and the whole person had already slammed the door open with a "bang!", and knocked over the table and chairs backwards!
The vase on the table slammed open on the floor, flying fragments everywhere.
Lin You heard the crisp voice, but her eyes were completely dark because of the pain in the back of her head.
The cold wind blowing through the suddenly opened door, Lin You could feel the coolness and tingling pain from her waist and abdomen, she took a breath, the bones in her body gave out a strong pain signal, but now she must stand up immediately stand up.
Who was blocking him in front of him, imitating a beast and making a childish threatening sound from his throat.
It is ginkgo. In the slowly recovering vision, Lin You saw the pure black wings spread out, and the little girl stood in front of her with her arms outstretched, refusing to give an inch to the approaching enemy.
And the enemy just glanced at her, raised his hand again—
-no!
Lin You's pupils shrank, and she pushed her body forward to pull back Bai Guo. However, the hand did not have time to fall.
Before that, the white afterimage flashed, too fast to be captured by the naked eye. Lin You could only see the long snow-colored hair rising and falling—the enemy had already been knocked out of the door, leaving long scratches on the snow.
"Xiao Xiao!" Lin You couldn't help shouting.
Xiao Xiao turned her head and looked at her with comfort in her eyes. With only this hasty exchange, she jumped out of the door facing the wind and snow.
The high-pitched shriek pierced through the sky, and the moment Xiao Xiao went out, the enemies who had been knocked back made a comeback.
Lin You pulled Bai Guo and sat on the ground, only now did she understand the situation.
With long gray hair and dark blue skin, although he didn't see his crystal nucleus in the short contact, but he can fight Xiao Xiao evenly, this is undoubtedly another zombie king!
It is very likely that it was the one that destroyed the Pujiang base with the beast tide. This time it did not bring the beast tide, probably because the nearby area was controlled by Xiao Xiao, but...
Thinking of that look, Lin You felt a chill run down her back.
It is different from Xiao Xiao, more like the zombie king two years ago, dominated by animal nature, only seeing killing and appetite, completely devoid of human reason. On the contrary, it is more aggressive.
Xiao Xiao's close combat skills were taught by Lin You, and Lin You knew best how good he was.
Can she win? In any case, Lin You couldn't put the outcome on Xiao Xiao alone, even if she won, it would be a miserable victory, she had to do something within her power.
"Sister Yuzu..."
The restless voice of Bai Guo in her arms brought Lin You back to her senses. She touched the little girl's cold cheek: "Don't be afraid, it's fine."
The sound of the fighting outside was far away and inaudible. Zombies would not take the initiative to leave their prey, it must be that Xiao Xiao deliberately led the battlefield away in order not to affect them.
The fur of Zhaocai next to him exploded, pawing the floor irritably, circling around in place but daring not to go out with him. Jin Bao jumped out of the fish tank and floated beside Lin You in a protective posture.
The ability to recruit money is too weak, and there is no way to use it. Lin You endured the pain and stood up. Something fell from her body. When she looked down, it was a harmonica broken in two.
Regardless of her distress, she picked it up and stuffed it back into her pocket, and said to Bai Guo, "Baby and Zhaocai stay at home and don't go out, okay?"
Ginkgo pursed her lips and nodded obediently.
"Good boy." Lin You patted her head, but the little girl grabbed her by the corner of her clothes.
"Sister Yuzu and Xia Xia, you need to go home early..." Bai Guo took out the wish coupon hidden in the pocket of her clothes and handed it to her, her golden eyes glowed thinly, "I made a wish, and Xia Xia will run away 'Year', right?"
"..."
Lin You bent down and hugged her: "Yes. Baby is waiting at home, we will be back soon."
The firearms on the two supply vehicles at the Pujiang base were placed in the guest room. Lin You simply treated the wound, picked out two useful ones, and saddled the enlarged Jin Bao.
The two zombie kings could no longer be seen nearby, and the snow was thick outside, and it was too slow to walk on her two legs. Lin You rode on Jinbao, followed the traces left by the battle and rushed in that direction.
Xiao Xiao was indeed an enemy deliberately lured away.
As Lin You thought, although the opponent's attack was not organized, it was fierce and precise. With the fighting skills he has learned, Xiao Xiao can confront it, but he can't defeat it. What's worse is...
The sharp claws cut through the wind and snow, and grabbed them head-on! Xiao Xiao watched its movements closely, without dodging or evading, directly twisted the joints of its arms, and pierced its chest and abdomen with the other hand.
She basically gave up her own defense, and a large piece of flesh was torn off her waist. The blood of the zombie king was almost black and red, and it was sprinkled on the snow like ink on white paper.
But even such an attack has no effect.
The moment they separated, their wounds wriggled and recovered, returning to their original appearance.
Xiao Xiao could clearly feel that his injury was lighter, but his recovery speed was slower.
She knew the reason for this result.
The power of zombies comes from human flesh or crystal nuclei. Xiao Xiao neither eats people nor uses crystal nuclei to improve. If the energy levels of the two are displayed, she is the one who is completely suppressed.
She never felt that this was an important matter in the past, but at this moment she rarely regretted it.
Not thinking about his own safety, but for Lin You behind him. Yuzu... If she loses here, what will happen to Yuzu who is being targeted? Just thinking about this question caused a flame of anxiety and anger to ignite in her heart.
Never, never lose to it!
Dodging the attack coming towards the throat, and being pierced by the sharp claws on the shoulder, as if shielding the pain, Xiao Xiao grabbed the zombie king's hand that inserted into his own flesh with his backhand. He stretched out his hand to the crystal nucleus between its foreheads!
— was dodged.
The enemy threw her away, Xiao Xiao continued to attack regardless.
She let out a sharp and long howl, her hard nails grew wildly, her canine teeth became sharper and longer, her beautiful face alienated towards the direction of the zombie, but her ice blue eyes remained calm.
Xiao Xiao was observing the zombie king.
It's really strange, the body seems to be spliced together from parts torn from many people, especially the face, which is half male and half female, with very different facial features on both sides, which looks very strange. Some parts of the body don't even have skin, exposing crimson tendons, which is unusual for a zombie king with strong resilience.
Unless it doesn't have that strong control over this department.
Xiao Xiao wanted to attack those positions tentatively, but suddenly met the bright red eyes hidden behind the messy long hair. There is no emotion in it, full of chaotic malice, staring at—
"...!"
Xiao Xiao jumped back.
The next second she was dodging, the original position was distorted invisibly, and the rolled up snow formed a weird vortex, and then was torn apart abruptly—if she hadn't dodged, she might have been divided into pieces like snowflakes. Countless fragments.
It's a space ability.
Why not before? No... it's already used.
Xiao Xiao dodged the attack, and quickly recalled in his mind-when attacking Yuzu, it used the movement of space power! Otherwise, she would notice it when she was approaching, and she wouldn't let it get her so easily.
Therefore, there is an interval between the activation of its abilities.
Having figured this out, Xiao Xiao no longer restrained himself, and returned to the previous style of playing with injuries for injuries. She had to kill it before she couldn't hold it anymore!
Lin You arrived at this time.
The spiritual imprint left on Jin Bao's body was touched, Xiao Xiao suddenly raised his head, and in the snowy sky, Lin You sat on the gorgeous golden streamer, looking at her from a long distance away.
"..."
The two just looked at each other from a distance.
Lin You didn't approach. She knew that with her own reaction speed, she could not last a round against the Zombie King, and rashly approaching the center of the battle would have no effect except to distract Xiao Xiao.
The battlefield has moved to the town, and she asked Jinbao to put her down on a rooftop somewhere and set up a gun.
Even for the zombie king, the head is the key point, after all, the most important crystal nucleus grows on the forehead. Lin You adjusted the scope, and aimed at the shaking figure through the snow blown up by the battle—
Pull the trigger!
The bullets roared and flew out.
The zombie king sensed the direction of the attack, but it was too late. Xiao Xiao clung to it tightly, and the bullet precisely penetrated its head, bringing out a bunch of blood splashes!
"Ah, ah!"
It hugged its head and howled sharply.
The ground trembled faintly, and the sound waves spread to this side. Lin You snorted, but kept pulling the bolt of the gun with her hand. Not missing the opportunity, she aimed for the second time, and Xiao Xiao followed closely.
Even if it knew the direction of the bullets, it would be difficult to dodge under Xiao Xiao's attack.
Although Lin You was no longer so lucky to hit the head too far, it still brought a lot of restraint. The seriously injured zombie king retreated steadily under their joint attack... retreated behind a building somewhere.
Lin You put down the gun, and was about to call Jin Bao to change positions again, but saw Xiao Xiao who was chasing him suddenly stop, turn around, and run towards her—
Lin You was stunned.
She suddenly drew her gun and turned her head... It was too late. Behind Jin Bao let out a wail, the golden scales were stained with blood, and fell heavily on the snow, the body that was almost torn in two twitched and gushed out a lot of blood.
The zombie king pressed his bleeding head, his bright red eyes fixed on her.
For some reason, he didn't attack immediately, Lin You took the opportunity to shoot directly - missed. The moment the gun fired, it had arrived in front of Lin You, grabbed her neck hard, and lifted her up.
Lin You fired another shot, and the bullet hit his shoulder, and the wound healed extremely quickly.
This kind of self-healing ability is much easier to use than her ability.
Lin You was surprised that she still had time to think about it at this time. Her right hand holding the gun was twisted off, and the other hand grabbed the arm around her neck.
In the blurred vision, the bright red eyes stared at her coldly and looked at her. The wind lifted his long hair covering his face, revealing the patchwork face underneath.
that face...
Lin You's struggling movements stopped.
This face is so familiar to her... The man's side used to be her nightmare in countless nights. On the day full of despair and blood two years ago, it came in a destructive manner and destroyed the life she depended on for survival. everything.
But even it didn't have a greater impact on her than the other half.
"elder sister… "
The cold wind on the roof seemed to pierce her bone marrow and freeze her internal organs.
The air in her lungs became thinner and thinner. Lin You saw the blood-stained eye, the pinched throat, and the feeling of being suffocated and close to death, which made her cry.
