Guns and ammunition, super powers, doomsday, monsters...
Ying Caiyi felt that it was too naive for her to find life a bit boring sometimes in the past.
Obviously a week ago, I was still in school preparing for the intense final exam, and I was still hesitating whether to work or study in the future. At most, I learned a little bit about superpowers, and I seemed to know that there were some interesting characters behind this world... Then the world suddenly took a sharp turn down another bumpy lane.
"Are you still alive?" Lu Chunxiao came from behind holding a large metal hammer. Her unpretentious and huge strength made Lu Chunxiao the main melee force among the group. She and Chu Wei have now become the leaders of the team. Generally exist, although the entire team is only about thirty people.
This team, composed of familiar classmates and several professors, had just come out of the university town. The large number of mutations caused by [Ruby Snow] make this apocalypse not a terror caused by quantity and infection like zombies, but a single monster of extremely high quality. These monsters basically do not attack each other, but hunt people and animals within sight. Each one has its own killing rules.
There were thousands of people in the school, but only about a hundred monsters were born, but these one hundred monsters almost killed all the teachers and students in the school.
A few people who awakened combat superpowers escaped from the campus with their close friends and plunged into the more terrifying hell outside.
However, Ying Caiyi found that she had adapted.
She shook off the black powder on her hand and responded to Lu Chunxiao. Everyone had just killed a conjoined crawling monster on the road, but they didn't expect that after cutting it open, the individual parts of the thing could still fight on their own. They had to chop it into pieces before the monster was completely killed.
"Brother Peng was bitten, and now there are some signs of wound infection. I'm afraid the monster's saliva is not clean." Lu Chunxiao said.
"I don't have medical superpowers. We don't have any superpowers in our team." Ying Caiyi didn't want to talk. She was very tired. Lu Chunxiao's temperament was actually not a qualified leader. At least he had a plan to steal it yesterday. Lu Chunxiao finally wanted to simply drive away the person who ran away with the team's supplies. Of course, that person is dead in an alley now, and I don’t know if there are monsters that like to eat corpses.
Chu Wei is capable, but he is too idealistic. His mentality has not been adjusted within a day or two. As a person with super powers before the end of the world, he still has a mentality of benefiting these people and believes that he should protect them. These people without superpowers...but he couldn't even guarantee to protect himself.
"Ying Caiyi, are you tired? Do you want to take a rest? We also have to pause before going to the medical center..."
"Medical care center? Shouldn't we go to the transportation station first to find a suitable vehicle?" Ying Caiyi turned her head, "If we go to the medical care center, we have to walk an extra three hours. This is normal."
"But Brother Peng was injured, and the others were also injured when they left school. We must get some medicine, alcohol, antibiotics, everything." Lu Chunxiao said.
"Didn't you get some from the school hospital?"
"Those can treat ordinary scrapes, but Brother Peng's kind is most likely a bacterial infection, you know, right? It's the kind that's been bitten by a giant lizard..."
"Of course I know this common sense." Ying Caiyi interrupted Lu Chunxiao, "But it's just him, right? For him alone, more than thirty of us have taken a detour? Does everyone agree?"
"Brother Peng was injured because he was protecting them from killing monsters. If even such a person cannot be taken care of by our team, our group will fall apart sooner or later." Lu Chunxiao said.
"Then have you ever thought about what would happen if everyone died on the road? Or maybe we divide our forces..."
"No! The monsters are so powerful now. Only the nine of us superpowers can kill this one. If we divide our forces, we may not even get news of its death." Lu Chunxiao immediately objected, "We must live together and die together. Damn it, if you don’t have this kind of mentality, how can you form a team? I will explain it to everyone.”
Ying Caiyi waved his hands tiredly. Lu Chunxiao always did this when it came to this kind of issue. She admitted that her moral standards were indeed low. She had never thought about pulling a group of people to unite for one person.
There was also a slightly larger piece of meat on the ground, which was suddenly cut into two pieces by a black knife, and it completely stopped moving.
"I was envious of Lu Ning's superpower before, but... the greater the power, the greater the responsibility." She clenched her fist, "I hope she is still alive."
When they returned to the team, Lu Chunxiao and Chu Wei no longer knew how to appease the people in the team. Since everyone knew each other before and had fought side by side together, Brother Peng himself was quite popular. Several conditions were added together and the itinerary was adjusted like this. Ying Caiyi also knows that even if no adjustments are made, going to the transportation station is not without danger. In fact, it is the same everywhere.
"Check the bullet," she said.
Because there is a police station near the school, the team rushed in to grab these guns and ammunition, but they were just pistols and did not pose much of a threat to some hard-shelled monsters. The firearms were given to two professors and students who had practiced shooting, providing some long-range firepower assistance, or they were responsible for attracting monsters from a distance. In fact, there is another function that everyone understands tacitly - to protect against others.
The team with a wounded man moved more slowly. Brother Peng is already trying hard not to be a burden to everyone, but his injury is on his leg, and he can't walk fast even if someone holds him up. And because he was tall, no one could carry him except Lu Chunxiao, who had super strength. However, Lu Chunxiao was also the main force responsible for the team's protection, so it was impossible for him to be carried on his back.
As for vehicles... we learned a bloody lesson about this yesterday. If it is not a heavy vehicle, it will easily be knocked over by those monsters that have increased in size. After the vehicle rolls over, it will be very difficult for the people in the vehicle to organize an effective defense. The sound of the engine and the sound of the vehicle driving on the road are also very loud. It is easy to attract this type of monster, otherwise why would Ying Caiyi want to go to the traffic station to look for heavy vehicles.
After walking for about twenty minutes, the explorer in front suddenly ran back in a hurry and waved the team to stop.
"What's wrong?" Chu Wei asked.
"There are some monsters ahead, we have to take a detour."
Everyone in the team had frustrated expressions on their faces. Once the number of monsters exceeded one, they would have to take a detour. The team's combat effectiveness was completely unable to compete with multiple monsters.
"Let me look at the map and see what other routes we can take." Chu Wei took out the map from his backpack and started studying it. The team naturally stopped. Ying Caiyi sat in a restaurant with an open door, took out a bottle of water from his backpack and took a sip.
The food reserves were barely sufficient, and just one day after running out, the team got a lot of food from the school supermarket and canteen. This was why Lu Chunxiao didn't think that the food thief was a big deal before.
"Caiyi."
Hearing the sound, Ying Caiyi raised her head and saw Li Xian.
Those who awaken their superpowers are considered lucky, at least they have some ability to protect themselves. But Li Xian was one of the unlucky ones. She had nothing and ran out with the team just because she was roommates with Ying Caiyi and Lu Chunxiao. She was completely unable to fight against those monsters, so she could only try to carry more things, and even changed her previous lazy habits.
Even so, in just a few days, Li Xian's face turned a lot darker, and that gloomy look even made Ying Caiyi wonder if this was the same person she had always quarreled with before.
"sit."
"You must be quite tired." Li Xian sat down next to him and said with a wry smile, "I saw your expression when you came back. I have never seen you show such an expression."
"What kind?"
"Tired, not only physical fatigue, but your mental condition also seems to be very bad. At least in the past at school, you were always in a high-spirited state no matter how tired you were. It has never been like this. I doubt you are too lazy to argue with me."
"I..." Ying Caiyi opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"A person like me without superpowers might not be able to live long in the apocalypse..."
"Nonsense."
"But you have to live, Caiyi, I know. Your ability is very strong, carbon control... Just imagine what a powerful super power this is. You have to live." Li Xian seemed to be saying to herself He said to himself, "We actually have the best relationship in the dormitory, and I also envy your drive. I know that some of Sister Lu's decisions may be different from your ideas, but for a person like me, You must follow Sister Lu."
"Yes, Sister Lu will consider you and the team, and she is... kind."
"But even if we haven't seen it with our own eyes, we can still know that kindness will eventually be slowly worn away in the end." Li Xian didn't know if she was crying or laughing, "Sister Lu will grow up. I'm just worried that I can't wait until then." One day, you will have a heated disagreement...so if you really want to separate, just talk to her directly."
"I didn't want to leave." Ying Caiyi said in a very thin voice.
"That's good. I'm just telling you that we have all changed, but in a bad direction."
Li Xian didn't finish her words, because the route had been re-planned over there, and they would continue their journey after everyone agreed.
After walking for another half an hour, everyone finally arrived outside the medical center. There is an obvious behemoth inside the fence, like a mixture of plants and animals, entrenched on the statue of the original founder of the medical center. Eight mouths full of sharp teeth grow at the top, and protrudes from each mouth. A rattan hangs down like a tongue, and the body is a huge piece of ugly purple meat, which rhythms as evenly as breathing. Dark green liquid seeps out from the meat piece from time to time. The ground has been covered with this liquid. On the paved ground, some small, half-human-tall creatures with only one mouth on their head grew out of the paved ground. At a glance, they were probably over thirty.
The people in charge of the battle were nervously watching the monster's condition. After several battles with excess energy, they already had some experience in analyzing monster abilities, which was gained through the deaths of many people.
"For a non-moving monster, there are no signs of mucus dragging around it. It mutates directly at the statue."
"Maybe it's poisonous. Be careful with those bodily fluids and those little monsters. If possible, try setting fire to it."
"You can give it a test shot to see if its surface is hard or flexible."
Everyone gave their opinions one after another, and Chu Wei listened to them one by one, and finally came to Ying Caiyi——
"Its attack range is estimated to be quite large. I suggest you avoid it directly. It is better for us to climb up the stairs from the back to find drugs than to go in from the front." Ying Caiyi said.
Chu Wei frowned: "What we discussed before is that if we encounter only one monster, we can test the strength before making a decision. If you keep avoiding the battle, one day you will be unable to avoid it."
"...It's okay, just a suggestion."
Ying Caiyi glanced gloomily into the fence. From the entrance of the medical center to the center of the building is an open space of 20 meters by 30 meters, with some plants and trees planted. Disarrayed footprints and human-sized shallow marks can be seen on the snow, but there are no drag marks left. So where did these people or bodies go?
"In this case, we will let Teacher Zhang use the pistol first..."
"No, let's go through the back door." Ying Caiyi suddenly said, "After all, it's best for so many of us not to enter the medical center together. Who knows if there are still monsters in here? It's best for the elites to go in and act together. , find the medicines and evacuate quickly, safety first."
Lu Chunxiao glanced at Ying Caiyi and nodded: "If you think so, then we should be more cautious. Chu Wei, Caiyi and I, plus two people, will go in together and try to avoid the monsters inside. , just take some of all the commonly used medicines, right?"
Perhaps the phrase "safety first" is more in line with the current actual situation. After thinking about it, everyone agreed to Ying Caiyi's proposal.
However, when the separated team just walked around the back door, the sound of vehicles suddenly came from the front door. Three heavy trucks rushed over from the other side of the road and stopped at the door of the medical center. A group of people with loaded guns and ammunition He rushed down from above and pointed his gun at the monster. A man with black gloves on his hands got out of the car, raised his hand, condensed a huge fireball, aimed it at the monster and fired it.
Violent explosion.
Zhao Xihua, who was sitting in the cab of the first truck, snapped his fingers, and a red and gold road stretched from the man's feet toward the monster.
"Go, Xiao Ronghai, you will be invincible on this road of violence."
The man shook his fingers gently, and several small balls of different colors suddenly popped up in the air. They gathered in his hand and shaped into a large blue knife. Then, he turned into a bloody afterimage on the road and crashed directly into the monster. At the same time, countless tongues and vines were aimed at and piercing the man like bullets.
