After experiencing so much, they no longer know how to be silly and sweet. Hiding themselves in a low-key manner is the most effective protective color to survive in the apocalypse.
Lin Qingqing touched Wen Ling's hair with approval after hearing this.
"Captain, don't worry, I understand everything you said"! Wen Ling raised her head and smiled at her.
"That little girl is lucky to be valued by Miss Lin. Don't compare with her!" Aunt Zhang put her arm around Yue Xuanxuan's shoulders and sighed.
"Just blessed"? Seeing the tacit interaction between the two, Yue Xuanxuan suddenly thought of his sister Yue Tingting.
"You said the same thing when my sister was here, that I was a lucky person." He stood there in a daze until Aunt Zhang finished cleaning up and then took him back to the car.
The black SUV set off again. If there were no accidents, they would definitely reach the base in the afternoon.
Today is March 12, 2020, the 72nd day of the apocalypse, and the sky is cloudless.
At exactly twelve o'clock at noon, a shooting star streaked across the sky with a long tail.
"Captain, there's a shooting star"! Lei Min pointed at the light tail in mid-air and said excitedly.
"It's daytime, how come there are such obvious meteors?" Lin Qingqing retorted subconsciously.
"What is that if it's not a meteor?"
"Maybe it's a missile"?
Lin Qingqing was not sure what it was. There was only one in the sky. She also saw it. The semi-arc light image appeared out of thin air and disappeared on the horizon in the blink of an eye.
"Is it really not a shooting star? I just wanted to make a wish," Lei Min said regretfully.
"What wish did you make?" Wen Ling asked curiously.
"The world was at peace at that time, and the end would come soon..." Lei Min just started to speak.
Suddenly, there was a stir in the surrounding air!
Buzz~buzz~
"I can't listen to what you say..."
"What's going on..."
In an instant, everyone seemed to be frozen in place. Lin Qingqing's pupils shrank and she didn't care about anything else. She just relied on her instinct to slam on the brakes crazily.
At this time, the surrounding space seemed to be distorted, everyone's figures were blurred into one, and the voices could not be heard. This feeling of lag was like the intermittent signal during a video call.
The strange situation lasted for more than ten minutes before everyone felt that they had returned to reality.
"What's going on? What just happened"? Lei Min's eyes widened with horror on his face.
The car had stopped on the road. Lin Qingqing looked back at everyone and found that except Aunt Zhang who had passed out, everyone else was still in the car.
"I don't know, I feel like there is a layer between me and you." She was relatively calm, but she always felt that this thing was unusual.
"I couldn't feel you just now, as if we were not in the same world." Wen Ling felt the most profound.
"Yes, that's the feeling. We are no longer in the same world," Lei Min said, recalling the feeling just now.
"But we are still where we are," said Wen Ling, who could now feel everyone again.
"Then we were separated by something similar to an energy field just now?" Lei Min guessed.
"I think what Minmin said makes sense. We may have just been separated into different spaces by an unknown energy. To be able to do this, it seems that this energy must be extraordinary," Lin Qingqing concluded.
"Can it still be like this"? Wen Ling understood.
"Anything is possible"! Lin Qingqing said.
"Yes, this is the end of the world"! Lei Min felt that once this world was related to the apocalypse, everything could be explained.
Listening to the three people discussing the situation just now, Yue Xuanxuan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he fell into feeble silence.
Before the fear and fear in his heart could dissipate, the three people had already discussed a result. At this moment, Yue Xuanxuan felt that the gap in his heart was deeper than ever before: he and they seemed to be in different worlds...
"Regardless of how this phenomenon is caused, the important thing is, what are the consequences after such a thing happens?" Lin Qingqing is most worried about this.
"I don't feel anything. My body is normal and my abilities are normal," Lei Min said after checking his whole body.
"I didn't have any reaction," Lin Qingqing frowned.
"No, we haven't changed much, but the ones who have changed are probably zombies"! Suddenly Wen Ling exclaimed.
Just now, she specially used her powers to investigate the surrounding situation, and found that since the previous incident, the zombies around her had become particularly restless, especially the zombies wandering not far away. They could feel it even from such a distance. They exist, and their movements are much more flexible than before.
"This distance..."
Lin Qingqing and Lei Min frowned in unison after hearing the news.
"Usually only second-level zombies have such a sensing range," Lin Qingqing said to Wen Ling: "Xiao Lingdang, please observe carefully, what changes have occurred in these zombies? Have any second-level zombies appeared?"
"Level 2 zombies? What kind of energy field is this that allows zombies to evolve into Level 2 zombies in such a short period of time?" Lei Min's eyes widened again.
Lin Qingqing did not answer Lei Min's question, and she was not sure.
Wen Ling observed this time carefully for a while before shaking her head and saying: "I don't think they have reached the level of second-level zombies, but they are definitely much stronger than the previous first-level zombies in all aspects! If not To describe it, you can think of them as the 2.0 evolved version of zombies."
"That's not too bad." Lin Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief. "If all the zombies were to upgrade together, it would definitely be a major disaster."
At this moment, like Lin Qingqing and others, people all over the world are experiencing this space shock at the same time.
It's lucky for those who happen to be in the daytime or in a safe base, but it's much scarier for those who happen to be in the dark or fighting zombies.
For a time, tragic events occurred frequently in every corner of the world, and the lives of those survivors disappeared from the world in pieces like fireworks in the sky.
Everyone is making various inferences and suspicions about this sudden situation that happened without warning. Although the truth of the matter cannot be guessed for the time being, what is certain is that this incident can be considered a disaster, a disaster that is enough to break the current status quo. From now on, the situation of mankind will become even more worrying.

After the accident, thousands of miles away in Qingfeng Mountain, a figure wearing a dark blue robe appeared on a tree-lined path winding among the green peaks.
This man wore a Taoist bun and a gray goatee. He was lean and tall, and he clearly looked like a Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest carried a bamboo basket on his back and held a whisk in his hand. He looked like an immortal. He walked down the mountain in a hurry, as if he was in a hurry.
After walking for a long time, the old Taoist priest finally stopped by a mountain stream. He first looked up at the sky, then lifted up his Taoist robe and sat on a big rock.
The clear spring in the mountain stream flows, and the puddle hits the rocks below to form a small puddle. The puddle is filled with water and slowly overflows, flowing down the mountain along a lower ditch.
At this time, a pair of skinny hands gently picked up a pool of spring water. He looked at it first, and then washed his fingers with the water in his hands. The water droplets splashed in all directions as the hands moved.
"Hey, I can't even taste this mountain spring water." As he said this, he stretched his hands towards the bamboo basket behind his back and took out a transparent thermos cup with chrysanthemums and wolfberries soaked in it.
"Zi Liu~" The old Taoist took a sip of hot tea: "Hot tea is still more comfortable. When you get older, you should drink more hot water." After that, he took another sip.
After drinking tea, he put his hands into the backpack again and touched it. This time he took out a pack of food. He untied the paper rope and opened the oil paper layer by layer, revealing five butter snacks. He made this in the kitchen before going out. The snacks are so crispy and delicious that you can eat one in two bites.
"I don't know when I will be able to eat such snacks again. One less thing to eat."
"I was born at the wrong time. Who said there are old people and young people on the poor road? I thought I could get away with being lazy, but in the end, what was supposed to come came. Alas, disasters are coming from the sky, and I don’t know how many creatures in this world have. How can I survive this?"
"When misfortune comes, blessings depend on it; when blessing comes, misfortune lies behind. Do your best, as an old man!"
After he finished speaking to himself, he stood up and patted the snack dregs on his robe, picked up the bamboo basket and whisk and continued walking down the mountain.
