At this time, Wen Ling suddenly pointed forward and said: "Captain, there is a zombie behind the woods turning left ahead"!
"A zombie? Strange... Why don't you go and see it?" Lei Min suggested.
"Let's go and take a look," Lin Qingqing responded, then turned the car and turned towards a trail on the left.
Zombies are usually concentrated in residential areas with people. She is also curious about why there is a zombie in this place with no village in front and no store behind.
The branch road is not long, only about 100 meters, and the road condition is not very good. The uneven dirt road is paved with large and small stones, and there are many potholes.
The car soon reached the end of the road, and then the four of them were shocked to discover that there was actually a small square courtyard hidden here.
The small courtyard is surrounded by adobe walls half a person's height. There are two tile-roofed houses, one large and one small. The zombies Wen Ling mentioned before are in a corner outside the courtyard wall.
This zombie should have been an old man, wearing dusty work clothes. He was lying on the ground, and it was obvious that he had a broken leg.
When it found someone approaching, it stretched out its two sharp claws and waved them desperately, making a "ho ho ho" sound from its mouth.
But before Lin Qingqing could speak, Lei Min killed him with a thunder ball.
"This turned out to be the ranger's home. It seems that the zombie outside the courtyard is probably the ranger here"!
Lin Qingqing glanced at the open door. The yard was not big, and the facilities inside were clearly visible.
There are two rooms. The smaller one is the kitchen. There is an earthen stove in it. The food and vegetables have been broken for a long time. Apart from salt, soy sauce and vinegar, there is probably nothing that can be used.
The big room is where the ranger usually lives. The door is also wide open. There is a bed, a table, three chairs and a wooden cabinet inside.
There isn't much furniture, and the rest of the free space is filled with bamboo woven products, which are not exquisite, but there are a lot of them.
Judging from the furnishings in the house, there should be two people living here, probably an old couple.
The four of them walked around and discovered that there was a small vegetable field behind the main house. Behind the vegetable field was a dense bamboo forest.
This yard is not bad, Lin Qingqing decided to rest here tonight.
As usual, they carefully checked the surroundings and found no danger. After that, everyone tidied up the main room a little and moved their belongings in.
There were no beddings, so they pitched the tent directly in the center of the big room. The tent is not very big, and including the little girl Wen Ling, it can barely sleep three people.
After dinner, Lin Qingqing decided to let Wen Ling and Qu Xingchi rest first, while she and Lei Min stayed overnight.
Both of them were very tired during the day, and Qu Xingchi was still injured. With Lin Qingqing and Lei Min standing guard outside, they both slept very deeply tonight.
In the evening, Lin Qingqing lit a bonfire in the courtyard and then sat on the steps at the door.
She looked up at the sky. The starry sky at night in the mountains was particularly beautiful. The surroundings were quiet. Only the wind occasionally blew through the bamboo forest behind the house, making a "rustling" sound.
Lin Qingqing's heart slowly calmed down, then she closed her eyes and began to meditate.
The second node of the chain in my mind has been lit, and a small section has appeared on it.
She couldn't help but look up at the top again, but unfortunately the chain couldn't be climbed at all. Every time she tried, she would fall out of the white space.
"Can you go up after the super power reaches the ninth level? What is on the cloud and mist?"
With such curiosity, Lin Qingqing has been practicing very diligently. She doesn't know when the end will end, but supernatural powers have become her only pursuit besides survival.
The first-level ice blade, the second-level ice blade, and the third-level ice seal. With each upgrade, her understanding of ice abilities will increase by one level. The six-petal snowflake that once appeared briefly at the peak of the second level is also at the third level. Time showed its full face.
What surprised her the most was that this snowflake gave her a particularly familiar and intimate feeling, as if it had been imprinted deep in her memory.
Lin Qingqing tried to use her thoughts to describe the veins of snowflakes in her memory, and gradually entered a state of selflessness.
Time passed by, and when the moon was at its peak, Lei Min walked out quietly.
She glanced at Lin Qingqing and did not disturb her. Instead, she followed her example and sat beside her to meditate quietly.
The forest at night was quiet and mysterious. At this moment, at the other end of the hill behind their small courtyard, a black figure was speeding towards them, and the target seemed to be the house where Lin Qingqing and the others were staying. Small courtyard.
It was approaching early morning, and it started to rain a little bit in the mountains. The moist air was mixed with the faint fragrance of bamboo leaves.
Lei Min stretched out and was about to get up to prepare breakfast when he saw a black shadow flash past from the depths of the bamboo forest in the distance and quickly approach them.
"what"?
Lei Min was startled and quickly called Lin Qingqing.
When Lin Qingqing opened her eyes, she also saw the shadow. Even she was secretly surprised by how fast it was.
"Minmin, go and wake up Xingchi and Xiaolingdang." Lin Qingqing quickly took two steps back after saying this, blocking the door behind her.
In the time it took for these two words to be said, the black shadow had already climbed up the half-man-high courtyard wall.
As soon as the black shadow landed on the ground, it rushed towards Lin Qingqing without stopping.
At this moment, Lin Qingqing smelled a particularly fishy smell.
"Bang", the speeding black shadow hit Lin Qingqing's ice shield and then flew backwards.
At this time, Wen Ling and Qu Xingchi behind them had been woken up by Lei Min. As soon as the three of them came out, they saw the black shadow in the courtyard.
This black figure is only one meter long and nearly half a meter tall. It is completely black and has no hair. The cracked wounds on the surface of the body are still turned outwards. The huge mouth is full of fine fangs, and the eyes are even bigger. It is a turbid deep red color.
"At this time, zombies...dogs"?
Wen Ling was the first to react. She seemed a little afraid of dogs, so she subconsciously grabbed Qu Xingchi's sleeve next to her and hid behind him.
"Where did this thing come from? Why does it look more terrifying and disgusting than zombies?" Qu Xingchi wrinkled his nose in disgust, and hurriedly took a step forward when Wen Ling came closer, using his body to block the zombie dog for her.
"He suddenly ran out from the back mountain just now." Lin Qingqing increased the area of the ice shield to block everyone behind her.
This was the first time they saw a zombie-turned-animal, and they couldn't help but be curious, and they all speculated on its origin.
"It ran out of the mountains? It must be a wild dog!" Qu Xingchi guessed.
"It's definitely not a wild dog. Look at its neck. It's obvious that this zombie dog had an owner before!" Lei Min pointed at the dirty collar tied around the zombie dog's neck.
"Looking at the physical characteristics, it does look like a common native dog in the countryside."
Lin Qingqing spent some time at her grandmother's house in the countryside when she was a child, and she often saw this kind of dog. They are usually called rhubarb or little black, and they have always been people's most loyal partners.
