In order to find Captain Yuan who might still be alive, everyone spent half a day searching the entire forest around the reservoir.
"I didn't find any traces of living people in this area," Wen Ling said, shaking her head.
"Could it be that the captain has escaped the siege of the corpses and left?" Qi Fengnian asked unwillingly. It was two days' drive from the base. During this time, Yuan Lei might have been looking for other ways to return. base.
Although what Qi Fengnian said was possible, Wen Ling still shook her head, "In addition to one level five zombie, there are six level four zombies on the mountain. Under the siege of so many high-level zombies, Captain Yuan's chance of escaping is not high. .”
"What? Level 5 zombies? Where did the level 5 zombies come from? There were only eight level 4 zombies in the two towns before. There were no level 5 zombies at all!" Qi Fengnian said in surprise when he heard this.
However, then everyone seemed to remember something and fell silent.
"Woooo~" A moment later, the two girls from Xuanyuan's team could not suppress their cries from the car.
"I, I still don't believe that the captain is dead," Qi Fengnian said with red eyes.
"I don't want to believe it either, but..." one of the team members said hesitantly.
"Dadong, Lao Xu, I want to see it with my own eyes," Qi Fengnian clenched his fist tightly. Z.br>
Unlike the others, they all joined the team after being rescued by Yuan Lei by chance, and Yuan Lei is really a good captain. In order to protect the team members, she voluntarily gave up her lethality Instead of using large attack methods, various defense and control methods were studied. It was precisely because of her protection that no one in their team of seventeen was missing along the way.
"You want to find the captain? I'll go with you."
"I'll go with you too."
Seeing Qi Fengnian going to find Yuan Lei, the two girls quickly wiped their tears and said.
"Xiao Qi is right. I don't believe it even if I don't take a look at it. I'll go too." The young man who had been hesitating just now didn't hesitate anymore.
"Then let's all go together!"
Thinking of what happened in the past, the five of them were unwilling to give up. They were still unwilling to believe that Yuan Lei was dead. As long as they could see the level 5 zombie with their own eyes and prove that it was not the captain, they might still be able to survive. has hope.
Seeing the persistence of the five people, Lei Min and the others were helpless and moved. In the apocalypse, they have seen too many betrayals and inhumane things. It is rare to meet such a few young people with love and justice this time.
After thinking for a while, Lei Min decided to help others to the end. Isn't it just a level five zombie? If it wasn't Captain Yuan, they could still get a crystal core by killing it.
Lei Min made a decision, and the other two people definitely had no objections, so a group of eight people began to discuss how to lure out the level five zombie.
"I'll go! I'm also a speed user," Qi Fengnian said without hesitation.
"You can't do it. You're only at the mid-level fourth level. What if that level five zombie is also a speed type?" Lei Min shook his head firmly.
"That's right, Sister Minmin is right. If that level five zombie is also a speed type, then you can just keep it on the mountain. Let's go!"
After Qu Xingchi finished speaking, without waiting for the other party to refute, he nodded at Lei Min, then bent down, carried Wen Ling on his back, and rushed towards the forest, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.
After running two kilometers in one breath, Qu Xingchi slowed down. Then he turned around and asked Wen Ling curiously: "Hey? Why don't you say anything? What is the attribute of that zombie? Is it really a speed type? ?」
Ever since she entered the fourth level, Wen Ling has been able to accurately identify the type of zombies through her powers, but she didn't explain it just now.
"No, that zombie is very big and not a speed type!"
"What is that?" Qu Xingchi became even more curious after hearing this.
"In fact, I do not know……"
After a short moment of silence, Wen Ling said calmly: "The feeling that zombie gave me...
It feels very strange, and I can't explain it clearly. Maybe you can only know what it is when you see it with your own eyes. "
There was a trace of imperceptible loss in Wen Ling's voice. Ever since the last time in Wushan City, when Lin Qingqing described the appearance of the mental zombie in front of her, Wen Ling had felt extremely uncomfortable. This was the first time since she awakened her powers that she was worried about why she couldn't see.
She originally thought that with the ability to perceive, she would no longer need her eyes. However, as an investigator, when she discovered that she could not even see the appearance of zombies, she suddenly felt a very panicked feeling in her heart.
——If she can’t see with her eyes, will the information she detects still be accurate? What should she do when some information must be discerned with both eyes?
"Ah? How strange is it? You have to see it with your own eyes?" Qu Xingchi said carelessly, completely unaware that Wen Ling's face was already so dark that it could drip water.
"You can watch it if you want. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Wen Ling said, reaching out and pinching a piece of flesh on Qu Xingchi's back.
"Ouch~ Sister-in-law, I'm wrong, isn't it? It's just my opinion, but you have to tell me the direction anyway!" Suddenly, there was a heartbreaking pain in his back, and Qu Xingchi suddenly became exaggeratedly loud. called out.
Seeing his aggrieved look, Wen Ling bit her lip, then stretched out her slender fingers to point him in a direction.
"At ten o'clock, there is a mountain col seven kilometers away, and the zombie is there. Oh, by the way, two level four zombies have discovered us and are heading this way."
"It seems that the distance is not far. Just hold on tight. Let's go back as soon as possible!" Seeing that Wen Ling's voice returned to normal, Qu Xingchi suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, and then used his superpower, like a It flew out like a sharp arrow and disappeared in an instant.
Ten minutes later, following Wen Ling's guidance, he found a large zombie in a mountain col.
When Qu Xingchi saw the appearance of zombies with his own eyes, he truly realized where the weird feeling Wen Ling mentioned before came from.
"What? What did you see? Tell me quickly!" Seeing that Qu Xingchi didn't say a word for a long time, Wen Ling asked anxiously.
"No... that, actually I think it's good that your eyes can't see, really! To be honest, I'm a little envious of you now!" Qu Xingchi swallowed hard and said with a dry throat.
"..."
Envy her? Qu Xingchi actually said he envied her? She is just a blind person, what is there to envy?
"Are you going to tell me or not?" Wen Ling stretched out her hand angrily, then pinched a piece of flesh on Qu Xingchi's back with her index finger and thumb and threatened.
"Say, I said it's not okay," Qu Xingchi said immediately upon seeing this.
As he talked, Wen Ling's face became more and more ugly. At this time, she could no longer hear the other party's voice clearly, and all she could think of were some strange words: two heads, three hands, half Like dead wood, half like stone...
--What is this? Zombies? Are you kidding, is Qu Xingchi teasing her on purpose? No, it's impossible. These words are completely consistent with what she "saw" from the power. But is this still a zombie? Didn’t the captain say that as zombies evolve, they become more and more like humans? But why does it still look so strange?
Wen Ling's mind was in chaos. When she came to her senses again, Qu Xingchi had already led her two kilometers away.
The howling wind kept blowing by her ears. Wen Ling lay on Qu Xingchi's back and looked around in confusion.
At this time, in front of her eyes, there were countless black shadows rushing towards them with claws and teeth. Wen Ling was startled. After taking a closer look, she realized that these black shadows were all kinds of branches and vines. The level five zombie had probably already discovered the two of them, and was now controlling the plants in the entire forest to attack them.
Wen Ling nervously grabbed Qu Xingchi's clothes, and then subconsciously touched the gun behind her.
——No, you can't shoot. Bullets have almost no effect on these plants, and if you shoot, it will also affect Qu Xingchi's speed.
Wen Ling thought and then took her hand back.
Perhaps sensing the girl's nervousness, Qu Xingchi quickly comforted her and said, "It's okay, don't worry, they are just branches. No matter how fast they grow, they will never catch up with me!"
Although he said it was simple, Qu Xingchi knew in his heart that this road would not be easy.
The opponent is also a level five zombie, and it seems to be at least mid-term or above. The dense forest around it has an absolute natural advantage for the wood type. This is simply the home of this wood type zombie, and the entire forest seems to be the back of its home. Like a garden, both the surrounding trees and the grass underfoot can become an extension of its powers.
Qu Xingchi carefully searched for a place to stay, taking every step with trepidation. All the surrounding plants seemed to have suddenly come alive, trying frantically to block their way.
"Be careful!" A huge black shadow suddenly struck, and Wen Ling subconsciously hugged Qu Xingchi's neck. She couldn't see what the black shadow was, but she could only roughly judge that it should be some kind of vine.
Seeing the black shadow, Qu Xingchi's pupils shrank. He hugged Wen Ling tightly, then his toes touched the ground and he appeared five meters away in an instant.
This is a new skill that he only mastered after reaching the fifth level - teleportation.
As the name suggests, as long as he continues to compress his superpower, when it reaches a certain level, he can instantly move five meters away.
This skill has no limit on direction or frequency. It can be used as long as he can continuously compress the power to a certain point.
Qu Xingchi named this skill "Flash". With his current strength at the early stage of fifth level, he can "flash" three times in a row, which means he can move fifteen meters instantly. After that, he needs to recharge before he can continue. Use this skill.
But thanks to this skill, he was able to lead Wen Ling to escape several fatal attacks while being surrounded by countless plants from all directions, and kept rushing down the mountain.
