"Thank you, thank you!"
Fan Pinghua expressed his gratitude to his friends with choked sobs, and a few tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
"No, we should be the ones thanking you. If you hadn't used your superpower to quickly ripen the crops in the experimental field, we would have starved to death here."
The bitter-faced Gao Liangmu comforted him softly. He wanted to force out a bright smile, but his natural depressed and miserable temperament made his smile look like crying, which made Fan Pinghua's face twitch.
"Ouch! Ouch!..."
A roar like a beast came from not far away. Everyone was horrified when they heard this sound. It was the sound of zombies!
Have they actually found their way here?
As early as when the zombie infection broke out, the experimental field and nearby experimental buildings were also affected. Except for these 8 survivors, other students and teachers turned into hideous-looking, extremely bloodthirsty and crazy zombies. At least one class number Zombies were wandering around the experimental field, but because the experimental field was very large and had lush vegetation, they had not been discovered by zombies yet. But now, those zombies were attracted by the movements these days and gradually moved closer to Xu Weiwei and the others.
"Xu Weiwei! Guo Ting! All you girls, help Fan Pinghua up and take him away. We boys will stop here!"
The steady boy immediately calmly directed everyone's actions after hearing the zombies.
"Okay, thank you, Cao Kaixuan, you must be careful, we are waiting for you in the southeast corner!"
Guo Ting did not hesitate. She looked at Cao Kaixuan quietly, gave a "You must pay attention to your safety" look, and then decisively helped Fan Pinghua leave with the other girls. She knew that although she and the other girls had awakened, she They have abilities, but they are not combat-type superpowers like Luo Zhiyong, and their bodies are also very weak. Staying here stupidly will not only not help, but will also distract Cao Kaixuan and the others.
"Good wood, rock, are you ready? Don't be afraid that your hands will shake."
Cao Kaixuan clenched the arrow in his hand and gritted his teeth. The boy next to him smiled.
"Oh, I'm afraid I'm a little scared."
Takaragi, who was born with a bitter melon face, shook his head and sighed, holding the arrow across his chest in an offensive gesture, and muttered:
"I hope the arrow Brother Luo gave me will work. This arrow is quite sharp and can be used as a dagger."
"Isn't tomorrow's test about killing zombies anyway? Let's treat this time as a basic test!"
Liu Panshi shrugged, pretending to be relaxed.
"Ouch!——"
The roars of the zombies became more urgent, and the footsteps became increasingly clear.
After a while, three zombies stepped on the wheat seedlings and appeared in front of Cao Kaixuan and everyone. They opened their ugly yellow and black mouths and rushed over excitedly.
"It's coming! Everyone, stab forward!!"
Cao Kaixuan roared, then took the lead in grabbing the arrow and sprinting forward.
The other boys also looked fierce at this moment, holding up arrows to stab the zombies.
The zombies collided with Cao Kaixuan and others arbitrarily. The huge inertia knocked all three people to the ground, and opened its mouth to bite the boy's neck.
When the zombies collided, Cao Kaixuan and the others stabbed the arrows into the zombies' bodies, but before they could pull them out, they were thrown to the ground by the zombies who were not afraid of death. Faced with the zombies' biting behavior, they were thrown to the ground. , they could only give up pulling out arrows and use their hands to hold the zombie's shoulders and head firmly to avoid being bitten.
"Damn it!"
Cao Kaixuan kept cursing.
He still underestimated the aggressiveness of zombies. They were insensitive to pain and would continue to launch crazy attacks on their targets before they died. He can only wait for the heavy bleeding caused by the arrow to consume the zombies to death. Before that, he must block the zombies' bites!
Having said that, it didn't take long before Cao Kaiwang's arm was gradually bent. He could no longer hold on and could only watch the zombie's bloody mouth getting closer and closer to him.
Are you going to die?
I can't even kill a zombie. It seems that in tomorrow's test, except for the girls, all the boys will probably be wiped out. If I had known better, I would have enrolled myself in a Sanda class. Oh, I regret it... ·
"Wha—!"
Just when Cao Kaixuan and others couldn't hold on any longer and could only watch the zombies biting at them, a sharp gust of wind suddenly passed through the air, and then the zombies that had just been baring their teeth and claws suddenly stopped moving.
Cao Kaixuan and the others, who were pressed by the zombies, were wondering when they suddenly discovered with horror that a bloodstain appeared on the zombie's forehead and became bigger and bigger. Then, the entire skull of the zombie's forehead slid down from the zombie's face, straight away. It hit Cao Kaixuan and the others on their faces. After this shock, Cao Kaixuan and the others could no longer support the weight of the zombie corpses and allowed the zombie corpses to press on them.
"Ah!—go away!"
Gao Liangmu was the first to wake up from the shock. He pushed away the zombie body pressing on him and backed away with a scream.
The others also broke free from the oppression of the zombie corpses with fearful expressions on their faces, crawled to the side and gasped for air.
"Are you okay..."
A calm voice came from the front. Only then did Cao Kaixuan and others realize that someone had saved them, so they quickly stood up and wanted to thank him, but as soon as they raised their heads——
"ah!--"
Gao Liangmu screamed in surprise again, pointing at the weird black humanoid creature in front of him that kept shaking.
Everyone else was also frightened by the humanoid creature with black armor and red stripes. This black creature was even scarier than a rotting zombie.
As if he already knew everyone's reaction, the black humanoid creature slowly took a step back and said calmly:
"Everyone, calm down. I am Zhou Quan, the boss of the Sanshitang stronghold. I am here to rescue you. Where are the other five people? Take me there."
········
Xu Weiwei, Cao Kaixuan, Gao Liangmu and other surviving superpowers leaned closely together, nervously and fearfully looking at the strange black-armored red figure standing quietly in the field in front of them, like a black metal sculpture. Even Guo Ting, who had always been carefree, hid behind the boy in fear, trembling non-stop because of the tattooed humanoid creature.
After a while, the black humanoid creature spoke:
"You must have heard what my subordinate Luo Zhiyong said this morning. If you want to enter my stronghold, you must pass my test. Originally, boys had to kill two zombies alone to pass the test, but now the test has been changed. Each of you is a superpower, so tell me all the skills you have mastered, the number of activations, and the effects, and I will judge your admission qualifications based on your ability performance."
Everyone looked at Zhou Quan in disbelief, and then all the boys laughed out loud with excitement, and Fan Pinghua's brother Xu Weiwei also looked at Zhou Quan with gratitude and thanks. They were finally able to enter the stronghold safely! Guo Ting was even wiping tears. She originally thought that the admission test was a test of life and death, and she was destined to leave some good friends forever, but she didn't expect that the cruel and cold butcher Zhou Quan in Luo Zhiyong's mouth actually let them go.
After being overjoyed, Cao Kaixuan, as the leader of the crowd, walked out first. He bowed respectfully to Zhou Quan, and then confidently began to introduce his own powers and mastery...
After Luo Zhiyong and the others entered the experimental field with full faces, Zhou Quan had already led Cao Kaixuan and the others out. Luo Zhiyong saw the happy smiles on each of Cao Kaixuan and the others' faces, and he couldn't help but feel happy for them, and he couldn't help but feel happy for them. I hope those boys died in the test and the remaining girls cried heartbrokenly next to them.
But he knew that no one could change Zhou Quan's mind except Zhou Quan himself.
"Sir! If you have any tasks, please feel free to ask me!"
Luo Zhiyong bowed to Zhou Quan and said, Zhao Jin and other boys with murderous faces also stood respectfully behind Luo Zhiyong with their heads lowered, waiting for Zhou Quan's order.
This scene in the novel really shocked Cao Kaixuan and his team. They originally thought that the relationship between Zhou Quan and Luo Zhiyong was just that of an ordinary boss and second-in-command. After all, Luo Zhiyong is also a very powerful shooter-type psychic with great combat power. Very strong. The so-called stronghold boss Zhou Quan is at most more powerful than Luo Zhiyong. Although Luo Zhiyong also has to listen to Zhou Quan's words, he doesn't have to be so respectful.
However, the scene before them made Cao Kaixuan and others understand a fact:
Zhou Quan not only has absolute authority in this stronghold, but also has the ability to crush Luo Zhiyong. Zhou Quan is truly "above ten thousand people"...
Zhou Quan nodded, and then gave instructions to Cao Kaixuan and Luo Zhiyong's group:
"Cao Kaixuan, you lead your people to collect all the crops and seedlings, including grain, vegetables, and fruits. In addition, you also need to take away the tools and fertilizers used for farming. Zhao Jin, you take everyone there to carry and Guard. Guo Ting, use your ability to control animals to get all the livestock in the breeding pen to follow us. Luo Zhiyong, you are responsible for protecting Guo Ting's personal safety. When all of you are ready, gather at the entrance of the experimental building. After confirming that no one is missing, return to the Third Canteen along the same route. I will kill zombies nearby to protect your safety. Okay, everyone, start taking action!"
"yes!"
"clear!"
···
Everyone knows what Zhou Quan wants to do. He wants to open up fields near the stronghold, plant crops, and raise livestock. He wants to build a farm in the apocalypse where zombies are everywhere!
No one dared to do anything half-heartedly, and took away as much as possible the raw materials and tools needed for agriculture and animal husbandry.
However, his comprehensive idea goes far beyond that. He will establish the Ministry of Agriculture tonight, and then divide a large part of the survivors recruited later into the Ministry of Agriculture's organization, receive guidance and training from the Ministry of Agriculture, and become specialized farmers. ——Farmer.
We must build the first industry of the stronghold in an all-round way!
One of the most precious and basic industries in the apocalypse - agriculture!
