Ji Thrush's hand was very steady. Although he swung the broom hastily in a hurry, he still didn't miss his aim and hit the strange insect right on the body.
With a sound of "puji", the bug was flattened.
Ji Thrush was still worried, and patted seven or eight times one after another, until the worm's body had shrunk into a puddle of mud, and even its wings were no longer fluttering, then he stopped.
At this time, he finally saw clearly what the insect that he had slapped to death on his clothes looked like.
Strange insects, like ordinary insects, are divided into three sections: head, thorax, and abdomen.
Its head is very small, in the shape of an inverted triangle cone, but a pair of protruding compound eyes are very large; its belly was originally extremely round and swollen like a ping pong ball, but after being flattened by the season thrush, it completely deflated. A large stream of white-gold slurry flowed out from the breach; as for its tail joint, it was as long as a little finger, in the shape of a bamboo joint, dragging slenderly behind it.
Combined with the two pairs of transparent thin wings on its back, the season thrush thinks that this is clearly a deformed dragonfly.
He is not an entomologist, so naturally he cannot say whether there is any kind of dragonfly with a round belly and a long tail.
However, in his common sense, there is no dragonfly that can burn a large living person to ashes in an instant as long as it touches a human body like this one.
The key question now is, after killing this one, is there anything else
Ji thrush rubbed his teeth.
If this thing is like a cockroach, finding one is equivalent to hiding 10,000 in places where it cannot be seen, then the problem will be serious.
— No, you can’t just walk down the street swaggering like this!
Ji Thrush feels bad.
He felt that he had to at least find a safe place first, and then make a long-term plan.
-correct!
Ji Thrush remembered that not far from here was a business district in the city center, where there should be two large supermarkets, enough to provide him with a place to hide.
And most importantly, food and drinking water will definitely be found in the supermarket. God knows how long he will have to hang around in this ghost town. Food and drink are the key to life!
However, before setting off, he had to make one more preparation.
Ji Thrush found a nearby clothing store.
Thankfully it was already the end of August.
Although the weather has not yet turned cold, but as autumn approaches, all clothing stores are putting on autumn clothes.
Ji Thrush picked out a long-sleeved men's hoodie, put it on directly, covered the hood to the top of his head, and fastened the tie around the neckline.
After putting it on, he looked at himself in the mirror, and felt that it was not safe enough, so he took a pair of gloves and a mask from the accessories cabinet, and covered himself from head to toe with only a pair of eyes exposed, like Arab women.
— Well, that should be fine.
During the attack on the couple just now, Ji Thrush noticed a very crucial piece of information, that is, the dragonfly like the golden snitch seems to catch fire only when it comes into direct contact with human skin.
At the beginning, the dragonfly hit the man's hand holding the mobile phone, and the man was immediately set on fire like oil wax meeting an open flame.
But when we got to the girl, the dragonfly first touched her shoulder, but through a layer of T-shirt, the girl didn't catch fire right away. Instead, she brushed away the foreign objects on her shoulder with her hands in a panic, and finally touched the dragonfly. Flames erupted from the back of his hand.
Therefore, Ji Thrush thinks that if he packs himself a little more tightly, he can at least increase his safety factor by one level when he encounters that weird dragonfly again.
Dressed like this in the summer, not only is it very hot, but also looks like a pervert, but compared with Xiaoming, these problems are just drizzle.
After tidying himself up, Ji Thrush took a new belt and the matching U-shaped clip, and fastened the kitchen knife sheath around his waist.
Then he gestured at the angle, thinking that when he was in danger, he could draw his sword handsomely like an ancient swordsman.
As for the broom that killed the dragonfly, he didn't intend to give up either.
After all, compared with his bow, arrow and kitchen knife, it is more convenient to deal with flying insects like dragonflies. In fact, if possible, he would like to find a fly swatter, but there is no such thing in this store. He can only wait for the supermarket to buy a shotgun for another .
When taking the belt, Ji Thrush paid special attention to the label, and was shocked by the four-digit price on it.
Fortunately, in this ruined city full of sulphur, no matter what he took, he didn't have to pay for it, otherwise he would have spent a whole three months of subsidies just for his outfit.
After thinking that he was fully prepared, Ji Thrush decided to set off.
He walked around the counter, returned to the shop, put his bow bag on his back, and stretched out his hand to open the door.
But just a second before his fingers were about to touch the doorknob, Ji Thrush withdrew his hand abruptly, and at the same time "Teng Teng Teng" took three steps back, picked up the broom and placed it in front of him, posing in a vigilant posture.
Because, he saw that on the metal curved handle of the glass door, there was a sudden touch of crimson, although it only passed away in a flash, but the contrast between the two colors was too sharp, which made him suddenly aware of the danger.
Immediately afterwards, a small lizard with a long tail crawled out from the back of the doorknob.
If it wasn't for the wrong color, Ji Thrush would have almost mistaken it for an ordinary gecko.
But although this thing has a gecko-like appearance, its color is very strange. Not only is it as red as blood, but it also has a metallic luster when viewed from the side.
This lizard also has a row of tentacle-like granulation protrusions on the two gills, which looks like the once popular pet hexagonal dragon fish.
However, the thrush did not think that the aquatic hexagonal dragon fish could climb very fast on the smooth metal doorknob.
At this time, the little lizard had already climbed onto the door along the doorknob, quickly jumped over the glass, and slipped into the gap between the cabinet and the wall with a sound.
Ji Thrush shuddered.
Although he didn't know what this gentle and harmless little reptile with a tail shaped like was, there was only a precedent of a dragonfly that could burn people to ashes. what happen!
—Looks like I have to watch out for all the living things in this place except the dragonflies!
Thinking of this, Ji Thrush hurriedly took off the bow bag on his shoulder, shook it up and down, and made sure that there were no strange little lizards lying on it, then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and carried it back again.
"Okay, Ji Xiaoniao, come on! You can do it!"
He cheered himself up, took a deep breath, then opened the door of the clothing store, and returned to the outdoors filled with smell and ash.
&&& &&& &&&
Ji Thrush's current location is not far from the business district where the supermarket he is going to is located.
He tightened his hood, trotted all the way, crossed the streets and alleys, and headed towards his destination.
In fact, this area is quite far from Ji Thrush's youth training base, so he only came here once two years ago.
Fortunately, he has a good memory and knows the way anyway.
The resupply point he chose was a Wal-Mart hypermarket.
The shopping mall is in an independent building with three floors above the ground and two floors below the ground. It has everything from large furniture to personal items, and there is also enough drinking water and food, enough for him to eat and take for a long time. up.
So, after eating, drinking and resting enough
Ji Thrush was on his way while thinking about what to do next.
Although from waking up to now, everything he has experienced is beyond the scope of common sense and rational explanation, but Ji Thrush has never been a character who will succumb to difficulties, nor does he intend to give up on himself and accept his fate.
Now that the city was no longer the one he was familiar with, he decided to leave and go elsewhere.
Even if it's the end of the world, he has to see what's going on outside.
Only in this way, Ji Thrush could not expect to go far with the "Eleventh Road".
What's more, there are those terrifying dragonflies in the city that can instantly burn people to ashes. Long-distance walking is too dangerous, and he needs a car as a means of transportation.
But the key problem is that Ji Thrush can't drive.
This means that he urgently needs a companion, someone who can drive and take care of each other with him.
— don’t know about that person… Is he still alive
Ji thrush thought of the long-haired man he saw on the bridge again.
—If we could meet again, would you like to try to invite the other party to go with you
Go to the end of the long street, cross the intersection, and you will see the main entrance of Wal-Mart.
Season Thrush crossed the empty road and came to the door of the mall.
At this time, he saw, just beside the gate, a set of crow-blue suits were scattered, still maintaining a roughly human shape, with one hand stretched out in front of the ground.
With the familiar formula and familiar taste, Ji Thrush knew at a glance that it must be another unlucky guy who was burned to ashes by the "Golden Snitch".
This time, he didn't go forward to check the clothes on the ground, but planned to bypass them and go directly into the supermarket.
Just as Ji Thrush passed by the suit, he glanced sideways at them, and suddenly noticed a golden light, flickering slightly.
With the previous experience of encountering a dragonfly, he immediately became vigilant, his whole body was aroused, he took a step back, and put the broom across in front of him, assuming a posture ready to make a defensive counterattack at any time.
After a few seconds, nothing happened to the clothes.
Ji Thrush heaved a sigh of relief.
He finally saw clearly that the golden flash he had just glimpsed was just a coin slipping from the side pocket of his suit.
Among the styles of coins currently in circulation in Huaguo, there is indeed one made of brass, which looks golden when it is new.
But at this time, the coin half-covered by the side of the suit is obviously a full circle larger than the coins in circulation on the market, with a diameter of almost three centimeters. It looks like some kind of game coin or commemorative coin. .
Suddenly, Ji Thrush took two steps forward and stretched out his hand, trying to pick up the coin from the ground.
Just when his fingertips were about to touch the small piece of metal, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps coming from behind, coming straight towards his back.
Ji Thrush suddenly felt bad, and suddenly turned around.
His reaction was already fast, but he was still half a step slow. At the same time he felt a strong wind coming from behind his head, he was hit by a strong force on his shoulder and back, knocking him upside down and flying out!
