Today is August 22, 2021, which happens to be China’s traditional festival, the Ghost Festival, or to cater to the festive atmosphere. Early in the morning, a large black cloud appeared in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, a cold wind blew up, blowing the fallen leaves and grass clippings on the ground into the sky again and again.
——Autumn seems to have come too early this year. It’s only August, and the leaves have already fallen?
Coming out of the igloo, Lin Qingqing looked up at the horizon. It was only eight o'clock in the morning, but the sky was as dark as night.
There must be a heavy rain later. Lin Qingqing looked back at the location of the igloo. It happened to be on a high ground, so she turned around and returned to the igloo.
Ten minutes later, it really started raining heavily outside.
In the igloo, Lin Qingqing was holding a cup of hot tea, listening to the sound of rain outside, and looking at the map in her hand.
It has been more than half a month since she left the base, but she has only completed two of the six bounty missions she took. It wasn't that the mission was difficult, it was just that these bounty missions were hung for a long time. She ran to four places, and two of the mission targets could no longer be found. She didn't know whether they went to other places or were hunted by other zombies.
The targets of the bounty missions disclosed by the base are basically high-level zombies around level 4 or 5 that appear alone.
Most of this mission information was obtained by low-level teams who accidentally discovered traces of high-level zombies during ordinary missions and then reported them to the base. Therefore, this information is not absolutely accurate, and it is normal to fall short sometimes.
In fact, not all high-level zombies will use human towns as their bases to enclose a territory of their own. Most high-level zombies do not have the habit of manipulating other low-level zombies to serve themselves under normal circumstances. Rather than sitting in a city with countless slaves, they seem to prefer to act alone, except of course for mental zombies.
Moreover, after long-term observation by humans, it has been found that zombies will basically tend to wander near their "birthplace" without external interference. It is rare for zombies to take the initiative to travel long distances to another place.
With Lin Qingqing's level, it seems too simple to do such a hunting mission, which is only level 5 at most, but her purpose is not that. As a defensive psychic, she needs to make the most correct response as quickly as possible under various crises. And what could be more dangerous than delving into a town filled with zombies? ..
It rained heavily all morning outside, and it finally turned from heavy rain to light rain at noon. After looking at the sky, Lin Qingqing waved her hand to put away the igloo. She still had two tasks at hand, so she didn't think much about it, just chose the one that was closer, packed her things and drove away.
In the evening, an illusory figure flashed in the air, and then appeared at the place where Lin Qingqing originally built the igloo.
"Why didn't you catch up again?"
This person was Chengfeng. He frowned and looked around for a long time. The remaining ice energy around him was indeed left by Lin Qingqing. Unfortunately, a heavy rain had erased all traces, so he could only choose casually. Continue chasing in one direction.
Half a month ago, Chengfeng finally finished the task at hand and found time to find Lin Qingqing.
It's a pity that when he arrived at Ancheng base, Lin Qingqing had already left the base three days ago. After hearing that she had been connected to several hunting missions, she might not be able to come back soon, so Chengfeng left the base without stopping and embarked on the road to find Lin Qingqing.
However, this process was not very smooth. Although Chengfeng is a dual-system user with space and wind powers, the country of China is vast. Even around the Ancheng base, there are hundreds of towns, large and small. If you want to Finding a person here is undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack.
And his luck didn't seem to be very good this time. It was the same as today several times, but when he arrived, he found that Lin Qingqing had already left.
At this time, Lin Qingqing didn't know that Chengfeng was looking for her all over the world. Last time he told her to wait for him at the base and then disappeared in a hurry. She didn't even have time to refuse. However, despite some hesitation later, Lin Qingqing still stayed at the base for a while, but the other party never came.
Chengfeng is a very
Lin Qingqing knew nothing about him except his abilities, approximate age and identity as a bounty hunter, and the other party seemed to have no intention of telling her.
As for the weird request made by the other party, she was a little embarrassed at the beginning and kept thinking about how to refuse it so that the other party could accept it smoothly. But later, while waiting, she slowly thought about it: it seemed that the other party did say such things out of excitement, after all, he was still young.
And even if Chengfeng was serious when he said this, Lin Qingqing didn't believe that he would really have any special feelings for her. Even if it was love at first sight, she wouldn't believe it.
Adult relationships are not just playing games, and this is the end of the world. She has never thought about finding a man to fall in love with.
After analyzing this matter over and over several times, Lin Qingqing completely forgot about it.
Chengfeng didn't show up for so long, so he must have been caught up in something important again. So she gave up waiting and planned to do her own thing first. Maybe the two of them would meet occasionally one day.
Shuangrong City is a small city closest to the northwest near Ancheng Base. It has a high altitude and a small population, but it is famous for the steep mountain it backs.
This place used to be a very famous tourist attraction. Every summer and autumn, many tourists would come here to visit. It was winter when the apocalypse came, so there were not many zombies.
Shuangrong City is not large, and the streets are not very spacious. Because it is a tourist city, there are not many high-rise buildings. Instead, they are all B&B-style buildings.
After looking at the city map for the last time, Lin Qingqing thought for a moment, parked the car outside the city, and entered the city alone.
Perhaps because it is far away from the base, no human has ever visited this place after the apocalypse, and everything remains as it was before the apocalypse. The overturned cars on the roadside, the broken windows, the dazzling array of souvenirs, the local food restaurants everywhere, and the faded colorful flags still flying everywhere all reflect the prosperity and liveliness of this city in the past. .
As soon as Lin Qingqing stepped into the edge of the city, countless zombies came out. They emerged from every corner and soon filled the streets and alleys. The originally decadent and desolate city was suddenly transformed by the appearance of a woman. The room became lively.
As the familiar growl mixed with the tapping of footsteps got closer and closer, Lin Qingqing stopped.
Her purpose was not to kill the low-level zombies in front of her, but to find and kill the target mentioned in the mission - a level five power zombie in this city full of zombies.
Time waited for no one, Lin Qingqing quickly scanned the group of corpses in front of her, focusing her eyes on a fourth-level earth zombie and several third-level zombies. Then the ice mist surged. Holding an ice knife in one hand and a long ice chain in the other, she rushed directly into the group of corpses.
Seeing the prey coming to the door, the group of corpses suddenly boiled. Several speed zombies rushed in front of Lin Qingqing immediately. Unfortunately, the sharp claws were cut down by a cold light just halfway through the swing. Then, These speed zombies lost their balance and instantly flew out.
After getting rid of the leading speed zombies, Lin Qingqing did not stop, but continued to move forward. As she moved, pieces of ice-blue armor appeared on her body one by one, and the wide cloak swayed behind her, blocking all attacks from behind for her as if she had self-awareness.
After going deep into the zombie swarm, Lin Qingqing looked in one direction, and the ice chain in her hand flew out instantly, accurately locking a level 3 zombie in the vast crowd of zombies.
This was a water zombie. It was releasing its skills among the zombies. Before it could react, it was dragged out by a strong force, and then its head was sent up to the sky by a cold light.
After successfully dealing with the remaining level three zombies, Lin Qingqing targeted the only level four zombie.
At this time, the surrounding corpses had gathered around, stacked and crowded together, like a wall of corpses blocking the road. And the level four zombie was hiding behind the wall of corpses, roaring fiercely at her.
Lin Qingqing's footsteps still didn't stop. As the armor on her body changed rapidly, six ice mechanical spider legs extended from her waist, leading her to easily cross the high corpse wall. Immediately afterwards, a flying rope shot out and wrapped around the neck of the level four zombie with lightning speed.
After getting the fourth-level fire crystal core, Lin Qingqing stopped fighting. She first threw out the long ice chain and hooked it to the billboard on the roadside. Then, six spider legs made of ice moved downwards. It took her off the ground instantly.
The "climbing armor" with several spider legs can not only move quickly on the ground, but also climb mountains and stairs is what it is best at. Pulled by the ice chain, the "Climbing Armor" quickly led Lin Qingqing to the roof of the sixth floor.
After getting rid of the first wave of corpses, Lin Qingqing stood on the roof of the building and took a brief look at the direction. It is still on the edge of the town, and the surrounding buildings are not only sparse, but also very limited in height.
Perhaps it was because the zombies were moving a lot just now, but at this time, the zombies further away began to slowly move closer.
Although the lethality of these low-level zombies is limited, their ability to block roads in large numbers is very troublesome. So before the zombies in the distance gathered, Lin Qingqing quickly chose a direction and began to jump to the limit. with running.
