"where are we going?"
After walking behind Lin Tanying for about ten minutes, Deafyang finally asked.
"After passing through this block, there should be a large supermarket in front. If my memory is correct, the name of that supermarket should be Wogou Supermarket. There is a clothing section inside. We can pick out a few clothes..."
The tentacles of the deaf sheep behind him moved, and after a while, they caught up with the girl in front and walked side by side with them.
"I mean, where are we going after we find clothes?"
"Well... we will stay in N City to build up our strength first, and when the time is right, we will go north."
"Going north?"
"That's right, go north to the capital."
After another brief silence, the deaf sheep spoke.
"The population of the capital is about 22 million, which is more than twice that of N City. You really need to be well prepared to go there..."
"Hey, you know this information quite well. What did you do during your lifetime?"
The serious atmosphere was suddenly broken by Lin Tanying's teasing. The expression on Deafyang's face stiffened and he answered.
"If my memory is correct, I should have been a civil servant during my lifetime. I was exposed to a lot of information during my work, so my memory in this area should be relatively deep..."
The two were silent for a while, as if they were both thinking about something.
"Why do you plan to go to the capital?"
It was Deaf Sheep who was the first to break the silence, using his tentacles to push away the secondary infected bodies wandering around him, and asked in a low voice.
"You can't even guess this?"
Turning the corner, Lin Tanying seemed to have not expected that Deaf Sheep would ask this question, and said slightly surprised.
"Could it be that you simply think that the capital is a good place to collect information because there are so many people there?"
The deaf sheep raised his eyebrows and said the answer he had already thought in his heart.
"Not only is there a large number of people, but as the capital city, when the whole country is caught in a disaster, the capital must be the first to respond, so it is the most likely place to learn the truth of the matter."
"The First Clan"
"That's right, but we really need to be well prepared. Otherwise, with our level, we will probably just be delivering food to others."
After remembering the memories of his life, Xiao Zhengtai Deafyang's personality changed a lot, from being childlike and innocent to being cautious now.
Perhaps his original personality should be like this, but due to partial memory loss, the whole person becomes a little strange.
It's like a brand new machine. Although it has been fully assembled, the internal parts still need time to run in before it can run more flexibly and smoothly.
"That's natural, so we have to strengthen ourselves in the shortest possible time, so... hmm? What's going on..."
The girl was talking enthusiastically when she suddenly saw the scenery in front of her and subconsciously uttered a sound of surprise.
Since the route the two chose passed directly through two blocks instead of the main road that Lu Yu took before, their view was greatly blocked.
According to Lin Tanying's memory during his lifetime, after turning two corners, he should be able to see the sign of Wogo Supermarket.
But in her cursory glance just now, there was no sign hanging high in her mind.
"Why is the supermarket sign missing?"
Lin Tanying was confused, and her pace quickened a bit, and she walked out of the block with Deafyang.
When the two of them saw the scene in front of them, they were stunned on the spot.
There is no large shopping mall in sight, only rubble and ruins are left on the ground.
There was deathly silence within a square inch, and there was not even a single secondary infection that could be seen everywhere.
"This is really the scene that should be seen in the end of the world. Your shopping plan seems to have been ruined. My sister..."
The tentacles were dancing in the air, and the deaf sheep made a small joke.
"Stand around, I'll check it out."
The expression on Lin Tanying's face became solemn. When she saw all the tentacles on the deaf sheep's body spread out, she closed her eyes and felt the surrounding situation.
After a moment, Lin Tanying opened his eyes strangely.
"There's nothing. It's strange. What on earth destroyed the supermarket..."
During the investigation just now, Lin Tanying found strangely that in the ruins of Wogo Supermarket, as well as within a hundred meters of the surrounding area, there was not even a single point of light, which was a bit abnormally clean.
"Is it caused by natural causes, such as earthquakes or foundation collapse..."
Wrapping the broken part of the tentacle with one of them, Deaf Sheep said with some uncertainty.
But as soon as the words came out, he felt that this inference was somewhat unrealistic.
If it is really caused by an earthquake, then the surrounding buildings should also be affected; if the foundation collapses, there should be varying degrees of cracking on the ground around the supermarket. No matter how accurate the scope is, the traces cannot be completely covered by rubble and rubble.
Therefore, the scene in front of me can never be caused by natural causes.
"Wait a moment."
Lin Tanying floated one hand in the air, signaling the deaf sheep not to speak yet, while she closed her eyes again.
The spiritual world was once again constructed in the girl's mind. The difference from before was that this time Lin Tanying focused on searching the gray haze around her instead of the light spots only produced by zombies.
"Sure enough...there is something fishy about this ruins..."
The girl opened her eyes, with a gloomy expression on her face.
During the investigation just now, she found that almost the entire ruins were shrouded in a faint gray haze. However, because the haze was so light, she did not notice it at all during her previous cursory inspection.
"There is a gray haze throughout the ruins... What is going on? Could it be that the plants or something have mutated? But the haze shouldn't be so light..."
Just when Lin Tanying was muttering to himself about being undecided, the deaf sheep on the side had no intention of staying where he was. The tentacles around him squirmed and he soon arrived in front of the ruins of the supermarket.
"Deaf Sheep! Wait, it's dangerous there!"
But before Lin Tanying could say anything else, the tentacles on the deaf sheep's body tightened for a while, and then suddenly bounced up, driving his body to jump high towards the top of the ruins.
"Did you find something?"
Seeing that the deaf sheep had no intention of returning to her side, Lin Tanying seemed to react at this time. He put one hand on the car-level zombie soldier No. 1 next to him, and let it hug him up diagonally and protect him. After controlling his vitals, he hesitated for a moment and then moved towards the ruins.
As she approached, Lin Tanying saw from a distance that the deaf sheep on the top of the ruins seemed to have rolled up something with its tentacles, and was holding it up in front of her eyes for closer inspection.
The car-level zombie holding Lin Tanying sideways did not jump onto the ruins in one breath like a deaf sheep. Instead, it chose a long-span climbing method. Like a huge three-legged spider, it quickly reached the top of the ruins.
"Deaf sheep, deaf sheep, you are so deaf..."
Lin rolled his eyes at Xiao Zhengtai angrily.
Tan Ying jumped out of the arms of the car-level zombies and stood on a larger piece of gravel.
Although she complained about Deaf Sheep's reckless actions, Lin Tanying still cast her gaze on Deaf Sheep's tentacles in front of her.
On the dark blue tentacles as thick as the wrist, there is a fist-sized insect rolled up. The insect is completely dark green, and the upper part is hemispherical, like a round mushroom.
But if you look at the lower part of the insect, you will be stunned by its strange structure.
Just like the structure of ordinary insects, the lower body of this mushroom-shaped insect has eight pairs of arthropod-like legs arranged side by side. There are no mouthparts for eating at the front or rear. Instead, a small opening is opened in the abdominal cavity, and it is opened. If you look closely, you can see a red fleshy tentacle shrinking feebly inside.
I don't know if it was affected by the venom on the tentacles, but the insect seemed to be in a very bad condition. It was held in the air with its eight pairs of arthropod-like legs showing no sign of violent movement, and it only moved weakly a few times.
"What is this... so cute..."
Seeing that the bug held by the deaf sheep looked non-threatening, the girl's curiosity aroused and her hands were eager to take the bug in her hands and play with it.
"cute?"
The deaf sheep seemed to have heard some shocking comments. His chubby little face twitched, and he unconsciously moved his tentacles farther away, as if he was afraid that Lin Tanying would reach out and snatch it away.
"It seems that after the mutation, not only your body has changed, but your aesthetics has also deviated to a certain extent..."
Another tentacle extended forward along the deaf sheep's right arm, encircling one of the mushroom worm's arthropod-like legs. The two tentacles were gently separated in the air, and a severed leg was torn off, accompanied by a weak sound. Insects chirp.
"Oh, what are you doing? Why did you tear off the little insect's legs..."
The girl's mouth was full of pity, as if what the deaf sheep had just torn apart was not a hideous-looking insect, but a cute doll.
"There are a lot of them on the ground, but don't pick them up. I won't be able to cure you if you get poisoned."
The tentacles continued to move, and while he was talking, Deaf Sheep had torn most of the insect's body apart. The fact seemed to be as he said, this weird insect seemed to be really poisonous, because the serous fluid oozing out of its body was... The glowing green light made people feel very uncomfortable.
"Of course I won't take it with my own hands..."
The girl replied stubbornly, then closed her eyes.
The car-level zombie standing behind the girl trembled, and his eyes turned dark purple.
"If you don't use your own hands, don't let Private No. 1 pick it up..."
"It's up to you to take care of it! Aren't you having fun catching bugs with your tentacles? Aren't these tentacles part of your body?"
Vehicle-level zombie soldier No. 1 put his hands on his hips, stared at those dark purple bull eyes, and asked the deaf sheep aggressively.
"My tentacles have glands that secrete neurotoxins and can secrete mucus anytime and anywhere. This mucus is equivalent to wearing a layer of liquid gloves on the surface of my tentacles, which can isolate foreign objects to a certain extent. I dare to do whatever I want. touch."
"I don't understand. I was so childish before that I didn't even know how long two hours is. Now I'm stunned when I talk about glands or neurotoxins. I let you tell me everything I can and cannot say." Go, I’m so angry!”
Lin Tanying, who was connected to the car-level zombies, saw one theory after another from the mouth of the deaf sheep. Knowing that he could not convince the other party, he simply acted like a child, controlled the body of Soldier No. 1, and splashed on the ruins. …
