The Zhengyang Brigade set off, and Lu Xin, whose body had been burned, finally found his own organization.
A group of Taoist priests and their colleagues hid in the deep mountains and forests, protecting hundreds of ordinary people they had rescued, and lived a life isolated from the world. Here they did not have to fight zombies, but there were many mutated animals and plants in the mountains, and their lives were difficult every day.
Because they hid too deeply, Lu Xin searched for one or two months. His entire soul was so dim and vague that it was almost invisible. He even felt that he was about to disappear between heaven and earth in this search. At that time, he finally found his uncle-master.
He didn't know much about this uncle, he only knew his last name was Jin, he was very skilled in Taoism, and now he was the only one he could turn to for help. As soon as he arrived, his uncle found him and used some methods to stabilize his soul, and the uncle and nephew began to communicate between humans and ghosts.
Upon learning that there was an evil sect stealing the only luck in the world for their own use, Master Jin was furious: "How can this be possible? Such an arrogant and evil person actually got such an evil technique! No, we can't just sit there and watch. If the whole world is filled with turbidity, darkness and evil, we will be in trouble sooner or later if we hide here. If the nest is overturned, no egg will remain intact."
Master Jin said this and everyone else agreed. The older generation gave up the peaceful but hopeless life in the mountains, leaving only some younger generations with little experience to continue to look after the hundreds of survivors, and thus embarked on the road of eradicating evil.
Unfortunately, they were not well-informed. When they followed Lu Xin to the Ning City base, they found that the person they were looking for had already left.
What shocked them was that compared with the prosperity that Lu Xin had described, the sky over the Ningshi base was simply gloomy and bleak. The people here were also very impetuous and full of hostility. Various vicious incidents emerged one after another, and chaos occurred frequently.
This is not what a thriving and prosperous base should look like!
Lu Xin was shocked: "It wasn't like this when I left."
Although there are signs of a downward trend, it is definitely not this serious.
Master Jin calculated with his fingers and said that the luck of this place was gone. Perhaps it was just as Lu Xin said, the luck was sucked away, and the person who sucked away the luck left, so naturally this place would never recover.
The Taoists thought and calculated and it seemed to be true. They were even more wary of the Zhengyang Brigade, which they had not yet met, and the most critical figure, Lin Tan Tan.
Lu Xin, who was in soul state, thought it made sense, but he couldn't help but go to the area where the Zhengyang Brigade used to be and take a look. He was shocked when he saw it.
Originally, the Zhengyang Brigade was in charge of six areas, of which areas three, four and five were transformed from shantytowns. Before he was imprisoned, he went to take a look. At that time, the people living here lived and worked in peace and contentment, and everyone was satisfied and grateful for their existing life.
But now the ordinary people who originally lived here have been driven away, and the people who have occupied all the areas of Zhengyang Brigade are the leadership of the base headed by Lu Jianping.
The core members of the leadership, their family members, confidants, and right-hand men, these people occupy the best houses and the best living resources. Each of them has their own relatives and friends, and then a series of people with connections occupy the second-rate resources.
One by one, they took over almost all of these areas. If they were satisfied, naturally some people would be dissatisfied.
The residents who were driven away from here, those who failed to seize the land, the enemies of the leadership, and those who also worked hard for the leadership but did not get these benefits...
They were dissatisfied, unwilling to accept and unwilling to resign themselves to their fate, so contradictions intensified and struggles arose.
When the upper class fights for power, the marginalized masses at the bottom are left unattended. Like a herd of wild horses that have lost control, they gather into small forces and fight each other just for a few survival resources. The entire base is in chaos.
Lu Xin suddenly thought, this Lu Jianping is really useless. He manages such a good base like this.
He was stunned. Yes, the Ning City base degenerated so quickly, and the managers had to take a great responsibility. As for whether it had anything to do with luck
He was confused.
Not to mention his confused thoughts, Master Jin and others couldn't wait to find the culprit.
However, although everyone knew about the migration of the Zhengyang Brigade, few people knew where they were going, and a group of Taoists naturally couldn't find out. They didn't have any connections, so they could only look around the world helplessly.
After searching blindly for several months, when they finally found their target, the latter was almost reaching his destination.
This was a three-month long migration.
The Zhengyang Brigade has more than 50,000 official members, and more than 200,000 people from the Ning City base who are qualified to join the migration team, plus nearly 600,000 refugees, who are now primary and secondary reserve members, totaling 900,000 people and tens of thousands of vehicles.
During these three months, this huge team has passed through countless cities, bypassed countless mountains, and encountered countless hordes of beasts and zombies. Now that they are finally reaching their destination, everyone is very excited, but also more careful.
Don't let a journey of a thousand miles be ruined by the last step.
It seemed that what they feared would come to pass. When they were about to reach the territory of Liang City, they were greeted by zombies from the city of Liang City.
Of course, this welcome seemed a little too enthusiastic.
Liang City has been in ruins for a long time. The survivors have long since fled this place. Some zombies have also chased those survivors away, but a large number of zombies are still trapped in this place.
They haven't smelled human scent for a long time, as if they had decayed into a wasteland along with the city. Now that so many people suddenly came, they were of course very excited, and the zombies on the edge of the city immediately moved out.
Fortunately, because they have not smelled human scent for a long time and have no stimulation from flesh and blood, these zombies have not evolved much and their strength is relatively weak, so the team can deal with them relatively calmly.
The convoys formed a big circle, with tall and sturdy trucks and tanks surrounding the periphery. The fighters used the cover to attack the zombie tide. Two other magic planes took off and dropped bombs from the air, and fired energy cannons when necessary, so this battle was not difficult.
However, there are still many zombie animals living in the ruins of Liang City. The zombies are left to humans to deal with, while these zombie animals are mainly resisted by the mutant beast groups that follow and guard the convoy all the way and are growing stronger and stronger.
As the leader of the mutant beast group, the tabby cat has grown into a large size. It is much more sturdy and robust than when Lin Tantan first saw it. The cat's aura is also different. The roar from its mouth is low and dangerous, like the new spirit of the king of beasts.
Moreover, its ability to command the beasts is constantly improving. With roars that sound only slightly different to human ears, the beasts flexibly change their attack formations, entangling those strange-looking zombie animals that are covered with scabies and pus-filled sores.
They do not need to fight bravely with them, they just need to surround and entangle them, and naturally humans will attack and follow to eliminate these dangerous zombie animals.
As the zombie animal army was gradually being wiped out, a skinny zombie tiger with scarlet eyes in the army roared strangely, almost bursting one's eardrums. Then it rushed out of the animal army at a speed that was completely inconsistent with its current body size, and pounced on the big cat standing on the roof of the car and constantly giving orders to the mutant beasts.
It all happened too quickly. The psychics who were attacking the zombie herd remotely were unable to react. Just as the pear flower cat was about to be caught, a figure rushed out.
As the owner of the tabby cat, Zhong Xiong would rather call himself the helper, protector or friend of the big cat, so he naturally stays by the big cat's side.
He knew very well that although this big cat looked huge and as powerful as a tiger, it was actually a fragile creature. So the moment the zombie tiger pounced on him, he rushed out.
Zhong Xiong does not have any special powers, but as a member of the seven-member team and the one in charge of martial arts, his strength is definitely not weak, and he has never stopped tempering his body since the outbreak of the apocalypse.
It can be said that if a psychic with average strength fights him alone, he will not be able to gain any advantage over him.
And this zombie tiger, which seemed to be particularly outstanding in its team, could not knock him down with just one claw, so the man and the tiger immediately started fighting.
Because the man and the tiger were too close, the people next to them couldn't help at all. Lin Tantan's convoy was closer here and was shocked when he saw this scene. That was a zombie tiger!
She was about to go over there.
At this moment, the zombie tiger was knocked out by Zhong Xiong. But before it landed, its tail suddenly twitched without warning and hit Zhong Xiong.
A huge gray shadow flashed, and the big cat pounced down to help Zhong Xiong carry this side. It fell to the ground and turned into a kitten. Its left hind leg twitched and it was a little unsteady on its feet.
At the same time, the zombie tiger that fell out had no time to stand up before being shot to death by all the nearby superpowers.
When Lin Tan Tan went over, Zhong Xiong was already holding the tabby cat that had turned into a kitten, and he was worriedly checking if it was injured. The pear cat was meowing in his arms, as if to say that he didn't need to worry about him. Lin Tan Tan's eyes swept over the cat's left hind leg, and his eyes darkened.
The small zombie animal army was quickly wiped out, and the overall weak zombie tide was also wiped out. The battle came to an end and everyone was busy cleaning up the mess. No one noticed that some mutant beasts quietly left the team and walked towards the jungle in the distance.
Lin Tantan also left the team and came to the jungle. Dozens of mutant beasts of all sizes were already sitting, lying, hanging or hanging upside down on the trees, waiting for her obediently.
Lin Tan Tan flattened a piece of ground, sat on it, and patted the empty space in front of him: "Who goes first?"
A mutant fox with flaming red fur came up. There was a scratch on its chest and abdomen where the fur was lighter in color. It was obviously scratched by a zombie. The wound was dark gray and began to rot. The wound looked very ominous. If it was left alone, it would not take long for this beautiful big fox to turn into a zombie fox.
Lin Tan let it lie down, put his hand on its wound, and his left hand hidden in the sleeve emitted a green ribbon that pierced into her wound.
Then he saw the black and gray color in the fox's wound being absorbed by Lin Tan along the green band.
This is Lin Tantan's unique skill, which was also the skill that absorbed the zombie energy from Mei Bosheng and saved him. The only difference is that these mutants have a certain resistance to zombie energy, and they have been injured for a short time, and the energy has not yet spread, so it takes very little time and energy to absorb it.
Soon the ominous color on the fox's wound completely disappeared, leaving only an ordinary scratch. A golden light flashed in Lin Tan's hand, and he cut off a little bit of rotten flesh. A green light appeared between his fingers again, and soon the wound healed.
"Okay, next one."
The fox turned over, shook its fur, and realized that its wound was healed. It cried out with joy, rubbed its head on the back of Lin Tan's hand, and obediently retreated.
The next one was a majestic German Shepherd, which was injured on the edge of its mouth where it was scratched by a zombie.
Lin Tantan also helped it absorb the zombies' energy and then healed its wounds quickly.
One after another, Lin Tantan's movements were quick and skillful, as if she had repeated it thousands of times. This was the scene that Lu Xin saw when he found her.
Lu Xin was floating in the air. With the help of his uncle's magic weapon to stabilize his soul, his soul had become much more solid and no longer looked like a hazy and illusory shadow, but living people still could not see him.
As a ghost, his movement speed and convenience of action are naturally far beyond his uncle-master and others. He has been floating around for the past few months and finally found Lin Tantan here. Before he could be happy, he saw Lin Tantan's actions.
He observed for a while with some surprise, and finally realized that the mutant animals were infected, and Lin Tantan was saving them.
He was very surprised. In her mind, Lin Tantan would not do such a thing, especially since there was no one else around. Even if it was a show, there would be no audience.
Lin Tantan suddenly looked up and had a strange feeling, as if someone was looking at her.
But there was no one else around except these animals.
Lu Xin was startled. Did she see him? Thinking of what his uncle said about the living being unable to see him, he felt somewhat relieved, but not completely at ease.
Just then, there was a slight noise outside the jungle, and both the man and the soul looked over.
A tabby cat walked in lightly.
Lin Tan Tan said: "You are finally here, come and show me your wound."
The tabby cat did not walk over immediately, but meowed timidly. Lin Tan was startled for a moment, and then he saw another person walking behind him.
"Jongxiong."
Zhong Xiong saw her, then looked at the mutant animals, and said in surprise, but not quite surprised, "So you've been saving them all along."
They encountered many zombies along the way, and danger was happening all the time. Even though they humans suffered a lot of casualties, these mutant beasts also suffered a lot of casualties. Those who died on the spot were fine, and ordinary injuries were easy to deal with, but those wounds caused by zombies or zombie animals could not be cured.
Such mutant beasts will quietly leave the team on their own.
He always thought that they knew they were going to become zombies and didn't want to drag everyone down, nor did they want to be killed, so they left quietly and found a place to wait for death. He didn't expect that there was another Lin Tan behind them.
Lin Tantan was not surprised to see him speak out. He asked the cat to come over and picked up its left hind leg to examine it carefully. The skin under the fur was swollen and a little broken, and the broken part had begun to turn black and fester.
Sure enough, I was infected.
Zhong Xiong followed and asked worriedly, "How is it?"
"They are infected, but it's not serious." Lin Tantan said to Zhong Xiong while extracting the zombie energy: "I have nothing to do anyway, so it's okay to save them."
But after a moment, she withdrew her hand and put the cat down: "Okay."
The tabby cat rubbed against her, turned around and pounced on Zhong Xiong, grabbed his trouser legs with its claws, and meowed with its head tilted back.
Zhong Xiong picked it up and saw that the wound had indeed turned its normal color. His tense heart slowly relaxed and he let out a breath.
Just now, he found out that it was infected, and his heart almost stopped beating. He really likes this little thing now. If something happens to it, he will definitely not accept it.
He found that it was a little anxious to get away from other people's sight and come to this jungle. He noticed something and brought it here. He originally thought that it would leave quietly like other infected mutant beasts, but he didn't expect to meet Lin Tan here, and then everything became clear to him.
He thanked Lin Tan Tan for saving Pang Pang, but his mood was still complicated: "But you."
"These mutants are quite resistant to zombie energy. Basically, as long as they are treated in time, the infection won't be very serious. It doesn't take much effort for me to save them."
Zhong Xiong asked: "Does Xiao know?"
"He doesn't know, so don't tell him."
"Don't tell me anything." Suddenly a deep voice sounded. Lin Tantan's body froze, and he subconsciously put his left hand behind his back as he looked at the person walking towards him from outside the jungle.
Ye Xiao looked grim, as if he was shrouded in low pressure. He looked at the animals here and his eyes fell on Lin Tantan. Lin Tantan felt a little guilty: "How did you know I was here?"
She looked at Zhong Xiong, who shook his head quickly, saying that he didn't bring it. He looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Xiao, if you have anything to say, please talk to me."
"I know. You should take the cat back first, so that no one will find out that it is infected."
Zhong Xiong nodded, gave Lin Tan a helpless look, and walked away with the cat in his arms.
Lin Tantan scratched his forehead and grabbed the red fox and stroked its fur.
The red-haired fox was just about to run away, but with the appearance of Ye Xiao, the other animals all ran far away. The red-haired fox also wanted to run away but was caught by Lin Tan Tan. It could only stay quietly and let Lin Tan stroke its fur, not daring to even breathe.
So there were only two people and one fox left at the scene. Ye Xiao walked to her side and squatted down: "Let me see your hand."
Lin Tan Tan looked at his expression, handed the fox over obediently, and took his hands out from behind.
Ye Xiao pulled up her sleeve, revealing a white, tender and healthy palm, but the four fingers were bare, and half of the thumb was black, gray and withered, like an unknown claw that had been dried and deteriorated.
When Ye Xiao saw it, he felt so angry that his head went blank and his face became terribly gloomy.
Lin Tan Tan whispered, "It's just a little bit, just cut it off."
Ye Xiao suppressed his anger and asked: "You said it so easily, how many times have you chopped it off?"
Lin Tantan remained silent.
She had grown lumps on her fingers a long time ago. According to the time, her entire hand should have grown back by now. However, after the team set off, Ye Xiao wanted to see her hand several times but was rejected.
They were assigned to different teams, and there were many things happening along the way. Ye Xiao couldn't see her every day. Even if he did, he didn't always have time to sit down and talk to her. So even though he was rejected, he didn't think much about it.
Now that I think about it, she has been rescuing infected animals from the very beginning. Judging from the situation, she has been chopped at least ten times.
How could he not be angry!
I wanted to say something to her, but I didn't know what to say. Lin Tantan whispered, "It can grow back anyway, it doesn't matter."
Ye Xiao asked coldly: "Doesn't it hurt?"
Of course it hurts, but it's nothing to her.
Ye Xiao had a dark face and asked if there was a towel. Lin Tan Tan quickly found a towel and gave it to him. Ye Xiao wrapped her hand, exposing the half infected thumb, and glanced at Lin Tan Tan: "Bear with it."
The next moment, the finger was cut off cleanly from the root. Blood immediately gushed out and wet the towel, but the bleeding stopped the next moment and the cut healed quickly.
Lin Tan smiled and said, "You see, I am a wood-type mutant. I can minimize the losses. My abilities are getting stronger and stronger. This index finger was cut off a few days ago. You see, it has grown a lot. And this ring finger."
Ye Xiao was so angry that he almost laughed. She was so proud of herself. "Stop talking. Do you really think you are a nobody?"
Lin Tantan immediately shut up, but couldn't help saying, "Compared to cucumbers, they are more like onions, the kind that grows very fast."
Ye Xiao said unhappily: "Why don't you say it's leeks." After cutting one crop, there is still another crop.
He was angry and helpless: "You, is it worth it?"
Lin Tan Tan said: "It's okay. I think it's worth it. These animals have done a lot for us. They get hurt for us and even turn into zombies. A life is about to be lost. I have the ability to save it. Can I just watch it die?"
Ye Xiao said: "I told you not to save people, but you listened."
"How can they be the same? Although human life is more precious, people are too weak to resist the energy of zombies. To save one infected person, I have to cut off a large part of my arm. To save three people, I have to cut off one arm. The loss is too great."
And every time they encounter a zombie swarm, once someone is scratched or bitten by the zombies, there will definitely be more than one or two people. Even if she goes to rescue, who should she save? What if she saves this one and the other? Saving that one would be unfair to this one. So she simply doesn't save anyone.
When the migration was announced, some regular members and reserve members actually chose to leave the team and stay in the Ning City base because they did not want to face the various dangers along the way and just wanted a stable life in the present.
Those who were willing to go along had been told about the possible dangers and the possibility of dying on the way, but they still embarked on this journey.
This is their choice, they are fighting for their future, they are unwilling to give up an organization like Zhengyang Brigade that makes them feel safe and secure, so they should bear all the risks along this path.
These animals were different, they were recruited by the pear flower cat, and the pear flower cat was tamed by them. In essence, this group of mutant beasts was like a group of free bodyguards who were forcibly brought here.
Although the brigade treated them well, provided them with good food and drink, arranged good accommodation, and cleaned them, combed their hair, and removed their scales regularly no matter how busy they were, it was still an unequal relationship.
Lin Tantan has a group of pets himself, and they get along well with these bodyguards, so Lin Tantan has more contact with these animals. They are simple and pure, and although they are very wild, they are very obedient under the command of the tabby cat, and they always rush to the front to fight fearlessly.
It's like they are free laborers deceived by a black-hearted boss, giving up everything, even their lives, just for a group of unrelated humans, but still foolishly not caring about gains and losses.
It's like being brainwashed by a hundred Zhang Jiujiu.
Lin Tantan couldn't help feeling guilty for being a black-hearted boss, so when she saw the infected animals leaving silently for the first time, she felt very sorry.
So I started to save them secretly.
If others knew her thoughts, she would be considered mentally ill, not taking human life seriously, but taking animal life more seriously. She didn't care what others thought, as long as she did what she could and wanted to do.
Lu Xin was floating in the air and heard their conversation. He pieced together a lot of information and was shocked that she actually had the ability to save the infected!
You could say she is kind because she can watch the infected humans die. You could say she is cruel because she can sacrifice part of her own body to save these animals that most people may not even take seriously.
He didn't know how to comment for a moment.
Ye Xiao was also silent for a long time, and then said: "You have such ability, I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for you."
Lin Tan said calmly, "Of course it's a good thing. I can choose to use this ability or not. If I don't have it, I will always be helpless. Don't worry too much. Everything is my own choice. I know what I am doing."
Ye Xiao took the bloody towel off her hand, wiped the remaining blood off her hand, and pulled down his sleeves as if nothing had happened.
But just thinking about how many times this hand has experienced the pain of broken fingers, it feels suffocating.
He placed his hand on the top of Lin Tan's head and said in a hoarse voice, "I really don't want you to continue using this ability, but if you insist, I support you, but don't go too far."
Lin Tan was surprised: "Ye Xiao."
Ye Xiao continued, "But we will arrive soon. Things like today will become less and less frequent. One day, I promise, not a single zombie will be left on this land."
He said this in a resounding voice, his expression so serious as if he was making a promise to her.
Lin Tan smiled and said, "I believe you."
After that, she started to act coquettishly: "I'm a little tired, lean on me for a while."
Ye Xiao stretched out his hand and held her in his arms. Lu Xin was a little embarrassed in mid-air, and his mind was still a little confused. He seemed to need to pay more attention to his opinion of these two people.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked again, somewhat unable to believe what he saw.
Lin Tantan looked a little tired. It was not easy for her to absorb the energy of the zombies.
Even though Lin Tantan looked a little tired, Lu Xin could see through her body and see the soul inside her.
This soul was naturally compatible with her body, and had no intention of leaving. What shocked Lu Xin so much that he couldn't recover was that underneath this soul, there was another soul that was so dark that it was almost invisible.
The two souls almost overlapped, one was bright, the other was dark, one was powerful, the other was so weak that it was about to dissipate halfway, and the two looked like they were sleeping.
Lu Xin almost thought he was dazzled, but he also knew that he was not dazzled. The fact was that there were two souls in Lin Tantan's body!
He was so scared that he floated backwards and his back hit a tree. His soul was immediately scattered and split into two halves. After passing the tree, it gradually merged together again. The face that was reunited still maintained that shocked expression.
Ye Xiao below suddenly opened his eyes and looked in this direction. He didn't see anything, but he still felt something was wrong.
Lin Tan Tan felt his movement and raised his head from his shoulder: "What's wrong?"
Ye Xiao said he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was going on.
"You have the same feeling, as if someone is looking at me, as if I am being stared at. Do you think the trees here are going to mutate?"
Ye Xiao observed the trees and found nothing unusual, but he did not relax his vigilance: "Let's go back."
After they left, Lu Xin, who had been hiding behind a tree without moving, slowly floated out. He looked in the direction the two people left with a complicated and shocked expression. What on earth was going on
He thought for a long time and then floated in the opposite direction. He wanted to tell everyone about this discovery as soon as possible.
