While Lang Hua was exploring to the shores of Xiaoyue Lake, the other two teams of evolvers continued to advance in other urban areas.
Shashi is a medium-sized prefecture-level city in Dongshan Province. The population in each district and county is sparse, but the central city is much more crowded. Although the corpse tide has taken away most of the black corpses, due to the large population base, the number of black corpses stranded in various neighborhoods is still not a small number.
In the sky shrouded in light black mist, a white cloud slowly drifted across to block the sunlight. Several black corpses on the hillside streets staggered towards the shadows on the ground. Suddenly, the ground shook slightly, and the old-fashioned chandelier on the roadside swayed slightly in its lampshade. A gust of wind blew, and a young man on a bicycle in red clothes and a black helmet flew past.
"Ho ho... ho!" "Ho ho!"
The few black corpses were ignorant at first, but after a certain moment, they all raised their heads and roared, looking at the rider's retreating back. The nostrils of several black corpses twitched, and foul-smelling saliva suddenly flowed from their mouths, like extremely hungry beasts, and they chased after them without saying a word.
At the same time, a bigger shock occurred at the end of the street, and more and more black corpses crossed the corner and chased after them. Several black corpses gradually became one of them. They scrambled to chase down the slope, their eyes bursting with red bloodthirsty light. At a glance, there were thousands of them!
It's a canoe! He was wearing tights, with elbow and knee pads tied meticulously. The half of his face exposed under the bicycle helmet had a round chin, his thick eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and his eyes were nervous and excited.
This is a quite long steep slope. The canoe quickly went down the steep slope and rushed through several intersections. The gusts of wind from riding blew up the banners at the entrances of several shops, and it quickly passed 100 meters. We’re still just a little bit out of this neighborhood!
But just when Mu Zhou was secretly excited, a ghost monkey with slender forelimbs jumped out of the intersection ahead! Then came the second and third ones. There was no doubt that the tentacles of the corpse group had reached the crossroads ahead.
On the back of the wooden boat's bicycle, two bottles of "attractant" produced by Langya City were hung upside down, and the scarlet contents dripped on the road as the vehicle was driven. Muzhou knew that they were attracted by this smell!
Close! The black corpse in front was getting closer and closer. Although Muzhou was downwind, the ghost monkey in the lead had obviously smelled the scent of the attractant. The aura mixed with the evolver's crystal core and blood is an irresistible temptation for any kind of necromorph.
"No, if you want to stop me, there's no door!"
After just one second of high-speed riding, several ghost monkeys noticed the canoe on the slope. They excitedly opened their fingers and claws to grab at the canoe, as if waiting for the next moment the prey would automatically be brought to their mouths.
It's a pity that they are too beautiful!
Muzhou stood up and struggled to board the car, using the high speed of the ride to tilt the front of the car high. Just when he was only a few feet away from the ghost monkey, the huge inertia made him "fly" horizontally, directly across the last dozen meters of slope, and "jump" directly to the bottom of the slope!
At the moment of touching the ground, a strong reaction force was quickly transmitted back to the car body, but Muzhou skillfully raised his body and hung it in the air. At the same time, he twisted the handlebars and upper body to form a fold line, which offset most of the momentum!
Not only was the canoe under force, but the mountain bike underneath it also suffered all the momentum at the first moment, but the body of the car miraculously did not fall apart.
Only Muzhou himself knows how different this car is.
With the help of Langya City, Muzhou was fortunate enough to return to his home in the central city and pick up this lightning downhill bicycle that had accompanied him in winning many awards at UCI. At the moment when force is applied, large-scale deformations occur sequentially from the tires to the carbon fiber rims and then to the frame, but the deformation also offsets most of the force, thus maintaining the integrity of the body.
"I haven't ridden for two years, and my hand is still raw."
This frustration almost made him breathless, and his hands became a little numb. Muzhou smiled wryly and laughed at himself, but the confidence in his eyes grew stronger and stronger. He knows he can do it, he knows himself, and he knows this bike as well as he knows himself.
The tire didn't blow out immediately because the car used tubeless tires and the latest technology in carbon fiber rims. Tubeless tires can balance low pressure, prevent puncture bites and protect the rims, while carbon fiber rims maximize the shock absorption performance of the frame.
You must know that this car once cost him a year's savings. At that time, Yuting even thought that he was extravagant and wasteful, and spent the money that should be used to buy her a bag on useless things...
After the canoe rushed out of the steep slope, Lin Wenjin also put down the bowstring in his hand on the top of a high-rise building not far away.
"I don't think we need to save him anymore. Heizi, let's go, it's time to do our thing."
He waved, and Duan Hei and Duan Hei flew over the roof of the building one after the other, disappearing into the forest of steel jungles in an instant.
The most dangerous moment passed, and Muzhou once again rode on the flat and spacious road, but there were car wrecks everywhere on the road, so he could only ride on the sidewalk instead.
Three groups of black corpses on the ramp merged into one place. From ordinary black corpses to ghost monkeys, gorillas and shield armors, the black heads filled the entire street, thus hindering the large army of black corpses. It didn't take long for Muzhou to distance himself from these guys.
He rode along the street, sometimes accelerating and sometimes slowing down. His footprints were all over every intersection in this neighborhood, seeming to have gathered many black corpses in one place intentionally or unintentionally. At this moment, he seemed to be the "leader" of this group of black corpses, guiding these ugly guys with claws and teeth to move in a direction southwest of the city.
On the street, a black corpse walked along the wall and blocked the wooden boat. He grabbed the handlebars with one hand and the seat with the other, raised his body and stepped on the wall. When he passed over the head of the black corpse, the guy stretched out his sharp claws and waved, but at this time, he couldn't even touch the corner of Mu Zhou's clothes.
In the crowded alley, Muzhou still maintained a very high speed, which was a habit he maintained during competitions. When encountering a curve, Muzhou lowered his body and touched the ground with his steel-glove-covered palms to help negotiate the curve. At this time, the car body was almost parallel to the ground!
After crossing the bend, a third-level ghost monkey rushed towards him. Muzhou secretly screamed, and hurriedly drove into another alley. But this was an extremely steep slope, and the canoe had no time to slow down and did not dare to slow down at all. When turning, it hit the road pole heavily.
pain! Even though he was wearing a helmet, Muzuki's head still hurt as if he had been hit by a hammer. There was an iron tip protruding from the road pole for some reason. Fortunately, he was wearing a helmet, otherwise wouldn't he be shot?
Mu Zhou broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't dare to delay, helped up the car and started again, just because he saw the third-order ghost monkey chasing after him in his peripheral vision! And in front, there were actually two gorillas that appeared out of nowhere!
Almost all the ghost monkeys who can catch up with the wooden boat along the way are close to the third level. Not only are they fast, but their sharp fingers and claws are also powerful in killing. As long as they run into the wooden boat, the latter will definitely turn into a corpse with broken stomachs and intestines. One. And the powerful orangutans are also very destructive. It is just a piece of cake for them to crush a defenseless canoe to death. It may be as easy as crushing a chicken to death!
"Hufufu..." Muzhou gasped nervously.
The critical moment has come. There is no other side road here. Even if Mu Zhou wants to stop and turn around to escape, I am afraid that the third-level ghost monkey will not give him this chance!
But what was unexpected was that the wooden boat suddenly accelerated at this time! He stood up, swayed his upper body from side to side, and pedaled hard. Before he knew it, Muzhou had exhausted all his strength!
Twenty meters, ten meters, five meters, three meters...
Seeing that one person and one body were about to collide, Muzhou suddenly turned the front of the car to the left, tilted the front wheel, and rushed onto the roof of a private car with the help of inertia. With the rear wheel as the axis, the canoe turned around again, led the bicycle across the flower bed, and jumped to the other side of the low wall!
Another village has seen a bright future, can he be saved?
"grass!"
But who would have expected that the opposite side is not a road, but a long and narrow stone staircase leading downward!
"Death or death, fight!"
Perhaps the wooden boat was not out of luck, but he luckily stopped on the low wall on the other side of the stone steps. After stabilizing his body, the canoe continued to jump down, and actually rode down the stone steps with the help of inertia, using the steps all the way to the bottom as another form of ramp!
This section of the road was extremely bumpy, and Muzhou felt that his whole body was almost falling apart. But he also avoided the third-level ghost monkey and escaped a fatal crisis, which must be said to be a great good thing.
"The best in the industry lies in the hard work and the poor in play. My old friend will never deceive me." Muzhou vowed secretly, "When I go back, I will practice harder and get back to my previous level."
"No, I'm an esper now, so I have to be awesome!"
After the life-and-death crisis, Muzhou became more comfortable with downhill descents. He easily climbed over railings and over low walls, as light as a flying butterfly, as if the car was part of his body. Finally, in front of a commercial street, the wooden boat that arrived with a large number of black corpses quietly turned into an alley and disappeared.
After the wooden boat disappeared, the black corpses also stopped. They smelled a lot of food, which made them shout excitedly. Because the number of humans before the Cataclysm was extremely large compared to other animals, in the early days of the end of the world, the main food of the Necromorphs was living humans. But they never imagined that so many people were here, waiting to be eaten by them?
Humans are not fools!
flame!
In an instant, countless Molotov cocktails were thrown out of nearby windows. The wet street was already filled with a strong smell of gasoline, and when it came into contact with the flames, it exploded violently! The rampaging black corpses, the overcrowded black corpses, were blocked in place by the pulled trip ropes, and soon turned into human-shaped torches one after another!
The sea of fire is expanding, death is spreading, and the wooden boat has already escaped from this neighborhood and arrived at the central square. There were many people waiting for him there, and they helped him down as soon as the wooden boat arrived.
"Thank you." Muzhou thanked Duan Hei who helped him. The expression on his face couldn't tell whether it was more painful or more embarrassing.
There was nothing he could do, Muzhu's legs were numb and he couldn't muster any strength. I don't know if it was because there was no longer a black corpse chasing behind him, but Mu Zhou felt pain all over his body. Sweat poured out like a splash, instantly soaking his clothes.
"Wukong, well done!"
"Thank you, I didn't expect you to be so powerful!"
"Master, please teach us how to ride a bicycle. We also want to be Superman, hahaha..."
"Are you injured? Help him down and rest."
"Yes, it's up to us next!"
The influx of greetings made this small area of the world suddenly become noisy. Muzhou looked at his comrades who came to care for him, and his eyes filled with tears.
When was the last time you saw a look of affirmation from people? When you first started learning downhill, or before your last professional competition?
He never won an international championship and was always a mere decoration for other riders wearing rainbow jerseys. The second place will never be remembered. After retiring due to injury, the hobby he had been immersed in for several years was reduced to nothing by his girlfriend.
By the way, he still has Muzi.
No matter the outcome of the race, his sister was always the one who stood at the finish line to greet him with a smile.
In her eyes, her brother is omnipotent, handsome and unrestrained, but looking back on these years, is there anything she has done well? Whether it's extreme sports or music dreams, has he ever realized his original desire to get ahead?
If the end of the world had come a few months later, he might have sold the car he valued as his life because of his girlfriend's request. For the sake of life and love, he kept making concessions over the past few years, and before he knew it, he had changed beyond recognition.
And now, although the apocalypse has broken out, he and his sister are still living well in the world. Yuting was also cut up and eaten by others because of her betrayal, but he was able to ride freely on the streets of Shashi. It is really embarrassing to think about it.
Mu Zhou knew that all this was because of that man. If he hadn't met Lang Hua that day, if he hadn't boldly taken a peek at this enigmatic man, his life might have changed drastically.
"Good boy, I'll give you a credit!"
Lin Wenjin patted Mu Zhou on the shoulder and expressed his appreciation.
Being able to gather many black corpses in one place without spending a single soldier or even a single bullet was Lang Hua's arrangement, and it was Mu Zhou's contribution. Now it seems that Lang Hua not only has many amazing and wonderful ideas, but also has great ability in knowing people and making good use of them.
At this time, Fu Lianhe's broadcast suddenly sounded: "Battle Commander Lin, the drone found the vanguard of the corpse wave, which is still three kilometers away from us."
Lin Wenjin raised his eyebrows and immediately gave the order: "Proceed as planned. Each squadron quickly enters the predetermined position and completes combat preparations within ten minutes."
"yes!"
Viewed from a high altitude, in the blocks one kilometer in front of the square, the 1,500-man Langya City and Southern Qi Military Region mixed troops hiding at various dangerous intersections gradually tightened their "pockets." This time, they want to take down the remaining black corpses in Shashi in one fell swoop!
If it succeeds, the wooden boat will undoubtedly be the first success!
"It would be great if Muzi was here at this time."
Thinking of his sister, Mu Zhou's heart suddenly tightened. As time passed, the people around them took action and rushed to the already demarcated front line to support them, while the wooden boat was specially allowed to return to the rear to rest. In front of a military tent, Mu Zhou stood outside the door leaning on a wooden stick, looking sadly toward somewhere east of the city.
"Muzi, is your operation going well over there?"
