Zhang Tianzhao turned to the right with a livid face. Hai Fengqiu turned his face to the left angrily. His face was dark and red, and red spots oozed from the whites of his eyes. Within a few seconds, the entire eyeballs turned red.
Xiao Qi was stunned. Hai Fengqiu actually lost control.
Gu Tianbai immediately patted Bai Zhi on the shoulder and said, "Fifth sister, let Xiao Qi accompany you to go out for a breather."
"Third brother, if you have something to say to my face," Bai Zhi didn't move.
Gu Tianbai's hand pressed heavily on her shoulder twice, "Give me the white pill box and go out for two hours. The effect of taking this medicine is almost the same as taking stabilizers. If you are here, you may affect them like it affected me before." "
Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, gave him the medicine box, and quickly went out. Xiao Qi sighed and followed Bai Zhi away.
Gu Tianbai played with the small box in his hand, "Hai Fengqiu, give me your left hand."
Hai Fengqiu turned around and stared at Gu Tianbai with a pair of blood-red eyes. Bai Zhi made a choice just now, and she didn't want to interact with him anymore. It's not fair to let Bai Zhi decide their fate alone. Hai Fengqiu subconsciously wanted to retract his arm, but Gu Tianbai held him tightly and attached the box to his wrist.
A probe popped out of the small pill box and pierced his artery. The lid of the box popped up, filling the cabin with a fragrant aroma, revealing white pills.
Zhang Tianzhao stared at the small box without moving. He remembered the scent. The time when Bai Zhi broke through, this was the smell in the room. The time when he had an attack in the gang territory, the same taste was in his mouth when he woke up.
He had seen similar boxes. Zhang Tianlie brought back an identical one from a trip four years ago, but he had never found a way to open it. Zhang Tianlie once told him that whoever opens this box will become the master of the new world. At the time he thought it was just a joke. It turns out it's not a joke, it's true. His superpowers improved rapidly because Bai Zhi secretly gave him this food.
Gu Tianbai took out a white pill from the box and stuffed it into Haifengqiu's mouth. The pill melted in his mouth. Haifengqiu closed his eyes tightly and leaned against the bulkhead, breathing heavily.
Gu Tianbai closed the lid of the box, squeezed the box tightly, looked at Zhang Tianzhao, and said, "Whether you want to give Lin Yunlai one pill of this medicine, it's your choice."
"Why does he want to eat? Why did I choose?" Zhang Tianzhao's back was pressed against the bulkhead. Gu Tianbai calmly used coercion and inducement, treating Hai Fengqiu with the same attitude he treated Bai Zhi. Now it was his turn.
"He needs it. When was the last time he took stabilizers?" Gu Tianbai threw the box up to play with, "Fifth sister gave it to you. I can tell you that this stabilizer is equivalent to a lifetime, and the effect of improving abilities is also a lifetime. Yes. I'll listen to your opinion whether you want to give it to Lin Yun or not. The Gu family doesn't attach any conditions."
"Give it to him."
Gu Tianbai treated him the same way he treated Bai Zhi, giving him the right to choose but only giving him one answer. Yunlai really needs to take this medicine. It's uncomfortable to be manipulated by others. Zhang Tianzhao turned his head and stopped looking at Tianbai.
Gu Tianbai walked to the cabin door and called Lin Yun to come in, saying: "Reach out your left hand."
Zhang Tianzhao nodded slowly to Lin Yunlai. Lin Yunlai simply stretched out his left hand. Gu Tianbai took blood to get the medicine and gave him the white pills, "After taking this, you won't need stabilizers in the future."
Lin Yunlai immediately stuffed the pill into his mouth, and soon he looked as pale as Haifengqiu and was sweating profusely. Zhang Tianzhao supported him and put him on the innermost seat of the cabin.
Gu Tianbai smiled at Zhang Tianzhao and said nothing. He put away the medicine box and went out of the cabin to use the tools Lin Yunlai left to repair the damaged bow.
As Xiao Qi walked, he guided Bai Zhi on how to identify the direction in the vast white environment. Bai Zhi, who failed again, turned around in confusion and asked, "Where are we now?"
"Two kilometers away from the river bank." Xiao Qi pointed accurately in the direction of the hovercraft, "They are there. You can't find the direction and you can smell them."
"I can't smell it anymore." Bai Zhi stood up and turned to the direction Xiao Qi pointed, "I can't smell any of you now."
Xiao Qi rushed to grab Bai Zhi's wrist and nervously rolled her eyelids, "When did you disappear?"
"Yesterday." Bai Zhi answered simply.
"It's really him. You have found the one you are destined for. You don't need this ability to find a spouse anymore." Xiao Qi looked at his sister with envy, "Why don't you try to accept him?"
"I'm really not saying this to you!" Bai Zhi turned her back to Xiao Qi, "Although he smells good, I know that's not love. If you don't love me, you'll have such random thoughts. It's annoying me to death. I'll eat him Just so that I don’t have to worry about seeing him in the future.”
"Fifth sister, the one with the right taste is the one! Do you know who is paired with whom? They are matched before they are born." Xiaoqi smiled bitterly, "Hai Fengqiu is the spouse you are destined to have. You two are destined to be together." When you meet, you can only be together. Except for death, no one or anything can separate you."
"I haven't figured out whether I like Zhang Tianzhao or not. Hai Fengqiu showed up. According to what you said, I will never fall in love with Zhang Tianzhao. There are other reasons why we got together." Bai Zhi bit her fingers angrily, " You’ve never been in love, so don’t talk nonsense.”
"I'm not talking nonsense. I met the one I was destined for. As soon as I found her, she died." Xiaoqi leaned against the tree trunk and looked up at the long white clouds in the blue sky. "Fifth sister, I have never She has not been forgotten."
"When did you meet her?" Bai Zhi immediately forgot her own troubles, and she protected Xiao Qi who was suddenly shivering, "Where have you seen that girl?"
"When I went to the Zhang family in Ningcheng for the injection, I was five years old and she was three years old. She only lived to be three years old. After she died, I collapsed. I soaked in the incubator in their laboratory for several months. My brother was with me. He asked the woman named Shen why I was like this. I heard everything the woman named Shen said to him." Xiao Qi knelt down and huddled up, "Her mother remarried and gave birth to a younger sister. It's like her, but it's not her. She's the only one and no one can replace her."
Bai Zhi knelt down and hugged Xiao Qi. She was silent for a long time before persuading him: "Live well, including her share. Look, the sunshine is so good today, and the snow-capped wilderness is so beautiful. Over there, there are... there are things on the mountains. A group of people!" She stood up and looked in the direction of the incoming people, "There are about twenty people, wearing military uniforms and weapons, who came here on skis."
Xiao Qi jumped up and took Bai Zhi's hand, "Go back quickly, their direction is toward the hovercraft. Let's go over and notify them."
The roads are covered with snow, making it impossible for cars to drive. No one will miss the amphibious vehicles that can travel on snow and ice. Haifengqiu has just taken medicine and needs absolute stillness and rest. It is better to avoid troubles proactively. Bai Zhi followed Xiao Qi back to the boat as fast as she could.
They put away the hovercraft before those people arrived and packed up a temporary camp. Haifengqiu and Linyunlai lay down on the earth platform with moisture-proof mats to rest. Zhang Tianzhao lit a fire with firewood outside the tent, and the four of them gathered around the fire to warm themselves up and wait.
The men spotted them and stopped dozens of meters away. A man with particularly big eyes came over and asked how to get to Shanghai. Gu Tianbai showed them the way, and the man who called himself Li Dayan thanked them and left.
In the evening, when they were looking for a place to spend the night in a small town, they ran into that group of people again. Li Dayan heard that they were also going to Shanghai, and he enthusiastically invited Hai Fengqiu to talk to them and ask about the situation in Shanghai.
Hai Fengqiu chatted with them for a while and came back and said: "They are the correspondents sent by the capital to contact the survivors in various cities. The capital plans to bring all the survivors together and form a city in the Jianghan Plain. That Li Dayan persuaded us Instead of going to Hucheng, we are told to go upstream along the Yangtze River and go directly to Xinjiang City."
"If the sea level keeps receding, the further inland it will be, the harder it will be to get precipitation." Xiaoqi shook his head again, "For District 1, the mountainous area in western Zhejiang is the best choice. It's not too far from the seaside, and it's not far from the inner city." The land is not too far away, and the resources in the mountainous areas are more abundant than those in the plains. The mutated animals in the mountainous areas are the best meat supplement for us with a new division. We only need to clear a high mountain with an altitude of more than one thousand meters and place it there. The old, weak, women and children can walk sideways throughout the mountainous area, and there is no problem in feeding 20,000 to 30,000 people.”
"Jianghan Plain is too far away. If we must go, how long will it take the elderly and children among ordinary people to go? How to ensure their survival resources after arriving?" Gu Tianbai also objected, "The total number of elderly and children in District 1 There are more than 3,000. There are no elderly people in several settlements in City A, and there are no children under the age of three. When put together with other cities, the problem of children’s resources is not big, and the elderly will definitely be abandoned.”
"There are more than twenty of them, and only a few have superpowers. I guess the situation in the north is better than in the south." Haifengqiu exhaled, "It took two months to remember to contact me again. Those who are still alive now, even if they don't have superpowers." , it won’t be a burden, some people are really good at calculating.”
"Where will they send the letter when they arrive in Shanghai?" Zhang Tianzhao is more concerned about this issue, "Will Brother Chen accept the leadership of the north?"
"My brother-in-law will not agree. With the current resources in District 1, it is absolutely no problem to survive independently. Accept the leadership of others, put down the hat of taking the overall situation into account, transfer all our research results and superpowers, and our family What to do with the child?" Hai Fengqiu stood up and moved his joints, "Let's go to Kunlun Ruins and talk about it after a while, until the relocation is finalized."
"I have no problem." Zhang Tianzhao looked in the direction of Bai Zhi and said nothing.
Bai Zhi was sitting in the sunshine outside the door, lowering her head to cut bamboo skewers for barbecue. Her hand was steady on the handle of the black dagger, and the edge of the dagger was dazzling with cold light. A bunch of broken hair leaked out from the hairpin and hung around her ears. Her quiet profile looked like a stone.
Haifengqiu stood up slowly, walked over to Bai Zhi and said, "We have to wait a while before going to the northwest."
"How long?" Bai Zhi asked.
"About half a month to a month." Hai Fengqiu opened his mouth with difficulty and smiled, "Do you have any questions?"
"So, you accept my conditions?" Bai Zhi raised her head, with a touching smile.
"I fully accept it. We are partners." Haifengqiu turned to look at the river embankment, "I will definitely discuss matters related to you in the future and will not make decisions for you."
"Thank you. I don't want to happen to meet Wang Chengpeng on the beach again. It's no problem for me to go to the northwest a month late." Bai Zhi lowered her head and continued to peel bamboo sticks.
Haifengqiu was stunned for a moment and nodded, then came back and sat on the moisture-proof mat, saying nothing the whole time. Bai Zhi suddenly mentioned Wang Chengpeng, and the atmosphere in the room became heavy. Lin Yun was squirming around and couldn't sit still.
Gu Tianbai stood up and called Xiao Qi and Bai Zhi to go out for a walk. The twenty or so people were resting in the next room. There were several people cutting trees and wood at the intersection not far away, and Li Dayan was one of them. He waved to the three people and shouted: "It's getting dark, where are you going?"
"Let's walk around the town." Xiao Qi smiled shyly at him.
"You don't even bring weapons, you are so brave." Li Dayan blinked at him, "Superpower user? What level are you at?"
"Superpowers still have levels?" Xiao Qi also blinked in surprise. The attitude of the New First Division is that any superpower may be useful. There is indeed no clear grading system for superpowers. He is happy to inquire about other places. To what extent do you know your superpowers?
"You can use your superpower and I'll see if it's the strongest." Li Dayan said.
Xiao Qi casually threw out seventeen or eight ground thorns.
"It's passed the third level. It's quite powerful." Li Dayan said with a smile, "One or two ground thorns are considered as level one, three to five are considered as level two, and level three can have more than a dozen. Level four can lift soil. For walls, you can use earth shields at level 5. I have only heard of one for level 5 and up, the fire type, which is said to be able to turn supernatural powers into physical weapons."
Xiaofei stamped her foot and got at least thirty or forty thorns. Xiao Qi put away the ground thorns indifferently, "This level can't be said to be powerful, it's just average."
"You're so humble, kid!" Li Da glanced at Gu Tianbai, who was holding Bai Zhi on his arm, "What is this?"
"Our third brother." Bai Zhi said succinctly.
"They belong to the same family. Do they also have superpowers?" Li Dayan ignored Bai Zhi and asked Gu Tianbai in a friendly manner, "What type are you from? I am from the fire type. If we are from the same type, we can communicate."
"Fire element." Gu Tianbai raised his arm, put Bai Zhi's hand out, and politely extended an invitation, "There happens to be a sunbathing area in front, let's go and talk?"
Li Dayan excitedly threw the ax on the tree trunk, "Let's go!"
"Let me walk around the town alone." Bai Zhi met Xiao Qi's worried eyes, "There are only two streets in total, so you won't get lost. I know the landmarks."
"Okay. Shout out if you have something." Xiao Qi pointed in the direction, "Go out from here, turn right and you will reach the cross street."
Bai Zhi nodded, passed through the wall between the two houses, and turned right. The cross street was quite wide. There are two or three-story commercial and residential buildings on both sides, with shops downstairs. Most of the store's rolling shutters are intact. The old Spring Festival couplets on the iron door of an old-fashioned grocery store are torn, and the whitish red paper shakes in the cold wind, making a tiny crackling sound. There was a corpse next to the iron door panel. Under the cover of snow, only the outline of a human figure could be seen, and it was impossible to tell whether it was human or zombie.
It seems that this town is not only empty of people, but also of zombies and mutated animals.
Bai Zhi walked to the outside of the town. At a primary school on the outskirts of the town, the roof of the teaching building had collapsed under the weight of heavy snow. A faded red flag hung on the flagpole on the small playground. The flag had soaked through the snow and turned into ice, maintaining its half-rolled shape.
If there was no apocalypse, there would still be playful children on the playground at this time, and smoke would be curling up over the town. Bai Zhi turned around and looked at their residence. Two white smokes emerged from a row of roofs, adding a touch of warmth and life to this cold town.
The smells and presence of Zhang Tianzhao and Haifengqiu are beyond perception. This feeling is unfamiliar, but the feeling of freedom is really good. Bai Zhi turned around with a smile and took a step forward to kick the snow on the road. There was a rich life hidden in the fields outside the town. She could go and see it alone.
