Chapter 37

"Damn it, someone is really targeting us. I was too careless when I went out recently." Wen Zheng's words were filled with unconcealed annoyance. He looked through the car window at the crowd that ran out from all directions and surrounded the vehicle. There were more than a dozen people.

Brother Yang brought all his men with him, and they were basically holding metal objects such as iron sheets and pot lids to defend against the fireballs used by the superpowers. They all had weapons in their hands.

Even if there was a powerful superpower in this car, Brother Yang had full confidence in the group of men he led.

Even if there were many ants, they could kill an elephant.

At least one tire was punctured by a nail. It might not be possible to drive out of the crowd. The vehicle became the only defense, but the ordinary glass could not withstand the attack of anyone outside.

The hammer hit the glass of the car window heavily, and a heavy axe with a lot of broken glass was placed on the head of Grandpa Liu on the co-pilot. The glass shattered one after another, and the old man leaning against the window became a hostage in their hands.

The enemy had the upper hand. Grandpa Li and Grandpa Liu did not touch the weapons at their feet. Grandma Shuyin in the back seat wrapped Yueyue with clothes and even covered her ears with her hands to prevent her from hearing the noise outside.

Since we can't hide in the car, let's go down to see the purpose of these people. They have been surrounding people without taking action until now. It is definitely not as simple as killing and robbing them.

Wen Zheng put his hand on the handlebar and gently twisted the door to open it directly.

"We know you can release some fireballs and rockets, but as long as you raise your hand slightly, these axes will hit the heads of these old people." Brother Yang, who came out from behind the younger brothers, was full of style and was very proud in his heart. Even if they were superpowers, they still had to listen to him.

As soon as Brother Yang appeared from the group of people, Wen Zheng and the two old men who were still in the car saw his face. The two men and two women who came to the community unexpectedly last time mentioned their experiences. At Grandpa Li's request, they described in detail the group of people who occupied the gas station and extorted the survivors.

The appearance they described is exactly the same as the person who was speaking.

If it is really a group of people, this group of people not only occupied the gas station and extorted money, but also killed people. Moreover, this group of people came here in advance to ambush and attack directly. Needless to say, it is not easy to solve them.

"Since you know that I am a superpower, you should know that as long as I fight with you, none of you can escape." Wen Zheng tried to suppress his anger and spoke. If he was not worried about the safety of the grandparents, he would have greeted them with a fireball.

"So we prepared for a long time and specially invited you and these grandparents, oh, it seems there is also a little girl, to visit us. Don't worry, we always treat friends warmly and will not hurt them."

Everyone present knew that nothing Brother Yang said was true.

"Excuse me, what's your name?" Wen Zheng placed his hands vertically on both sides of his body, indeed not daring to make any movements, "Why did you invite me here? We are in a hurry to get on the road, so I'm afraid we don't have time to visit you. If you have any questions, you can answer them here."

"Brothers all call me Brother Yang, you can call me that too." Wen Zheng's humble attitude made Brother Yang feel quite comfortable, so he stopped beating around the bush, "Then I'll make it short, how did you absorb the crystal core and gain superpowers?"

As soon as this question came out, all the members of Brother Yang's men looked over, pricked up their ears and waited for Wen Zheng's answer.

The grandparents sitting in the car took the opportunity when the attention of the people threatening them by the car was diverted, and reached out to touch the weapons beside them.

"You're asking this." Wen Zheng deliberately showed a surprised expression, "Brother Yang, you got the order wrong. It's not that I have superpowers only after absorbing the crystal core. I found that I can absorb the energy in the crystal core after I got superpowers."

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't care who comes first or later, you just need to tell us how you got superpowers. If you dare to lie, someone in the car behind you will have his head blown up." Brother Yang said viciously. He was only one step away from the answer he wanted to know, and his mood became more and more urgent.

"I was bitten by a zombie and trapped in the house by my grandparents. I didn't expect that I would not only not become a zombie, but also have superpowers."

"Are you kidding?"

"If you don't believe it, find a radio. The official base has announced that being bitten by a zombie will have a certain chance of stimulating superpowers."

It was originally a fact, and Wen Zheng swore it with a particularly convincing tone.

The prerequisite for obtaining superpowers is to be bitten by a zombie. Everyone who heard this answer was stunned.

At this moment, the grandparents who were held hostage in the car seized the opportunity, controlled the weapons placed on their heads with one hand, and attacked the people outside the window with lightning speed after touching their weapons with the other hand.

At the same time, Wen Zheng placed his hands on both sides of his body, took out two fruit knives from his seemingly flat trouser pockets, and held them in his palms. A flaming arrow appeared in front of him, and it drew a range in the sky according to Wen Zheng's idea and stopped at Brother Yang's ear.

In just two minutes, four of Brother Yang's men were killed. The four people standing by the car window threatening the hostages were particularly tired of holding their weapons, and the other hand holding the shield became lax. Coupled with the shock of hearing the news, Wen Zheng and his men controlled the opportunity.

"Don't do anything, let's talk it over if we have anything to say." Brother Yang immediately panicked, and the useless shield he was holding fell to the ground.

When I saw Wen Zheng attack zombies before, the flames he emitted were all going straight. If he had known that the flaming arrows he emitted could turn, he should have put a helmet on his head and stayed in the car.

It's too late to regret now.

"Our car was damaged by you, so it's not too much to compensate us with one." A warm smile appeared on the corner of Wen Zheng's lips, but it made everyone who saw it feel cold in their hearts.

"Here, the cars parked next to us all belong to us. Take out all the car keys and you can take your pick." After many escapes from zombies, they would not forget about cars as a means of transportation when they came here to ambush. Arousing suspicion, he put on a slight disguise.

At this moment, everyone who was still alive heard the roar of zombies coming from a distance, and it was not just a few zombies, the huge movement sounded like it could only be formed by a group of zombies.

What happened?

While Wen Zheng was confronting this group of people, the tenth rescue team, which had rescued many survivors, passed by the place where they originally planned to meet. Walking on that road were not just the official rescue teams, but There are also a large number of vehicles that can find transportation to follow the rescue team.

Also, when many surviving humans gathered together, the smell of food was too strong, resulting in many zombies following them. These zombies come from everywhere smelling food and have formed a small zombie wave.

Most of the zombies gathering behind the convoy were still attracted by the convoy and followed the convoy towards the base. But there were still quite a few zombies who couldn't keep up with the convoy and smelled the good smell coming from other directions. Like hungry wolves with a keen sense of smell, they changed the direction of the encirclement.

People still don't know that people with special powers have a stronger ability to attract zombies than ordinary people, so Wen Zheng, who is relatively close to the army's return route, has become a fragrant zombie lure.

The two sides in the stalemate had to temporarily cease fighting and looked in the direction of the sound in surprise. Their eyes widened when they saw the zombies coming in groups. The zombies have felt their presence and are coming as fast as possible. The problem now is no longer a struggle between humans. If you don't leave quickly, you will end up falling into the mouths of the zombies.

"Run!"

Seeing the zombies running at a fast speed, Brother Yang's surviving brother decisively abandoned Brother Yang and almost rolled and crawled to a car parked on the roadside disguised as an abandoned vehicle.

Several of Brother Yang's men died. Those who were still alive who wanted to escape, probably because they were afraid of Wen Zheng's attack, specifically stayed in the vehicle closest to them and squeezed into several other vehicles.

Brother Yang, who was still being targeted by Wen Zheng's flaming arrows, was so angry that his men abandoned him and fled. He was also flustered by the flames so close at hand and the approaching zombies. Big beads of sweat fell from his eyes. It kept flowing down my forehead.

The men didn't care about him, started the vehicle and left. Brother Yang rubbed his teeth fiercely, hating them until his teeth itched. However, he has no ability to retaliate now. The only thing he can do is to beg for mercy from Wen Zheng who controls his life: "I was wrong..."

He couldn't even finish his last words before he died. In the past, the flaming arrows that only entered the bodies of zombies were inserted into his ears. The burning flames caused pain the moment they touched the skin, and the nerves had not yet transmitted it. A signal is given to make the throat scream, and the whole brain is destroyed by the flames.

Just as these bad guys began to flee for their lives, the old people who were left in the car with a punctured wheel and broken glass did not need Wen Zheng to remind them. They took the initiative to come out and move towards the remaining car.

The vehicle started to start, and Brother Yang fell on the road. However, the old people did not express any opinions on Wen Zheng's murder. Instead, they hurriedly urged Wen Zheng to get in the car and leave as soon as possible.

Wen Zheng was the last one to enter the vehicle, but he squeezed into the passenger seat, and Grandpa Liu could only move to the back. After Wen Zheng got in, he used the ax next to him to smash the glass in the front of the car. Everyone else in the car looked at him in surprise.

"Xiao Zheng, what are you going to do?"

"These people are not good people. Let them go so easily. If they survive, they will always be a hidden danger." Some people are not worthy of mercy, and they flee with their backs to the zombies. The community is located just ahead. These people cannot be Stay in the community.

While Wen Zheng was explaining to his grandparents, several golden-red flaming arrows flew out in a straight line according to Wen Zheng's will, and heavily inserted into the tires of three cars. The same tire blowout happened on the road, but this time it happened to the enemy.

The people in the car immediately became panicked. Seeing that the car Wen Zheng and the others were in passed them, they could not attack, and the car could not drive away. They could only get out of the car, hoping that they could run faster than them. Those zombies in the back.

However, it was too late.

Not long after they got out of the car, several zombies who were faster than ordinary zombies threw them to the ground. The sharp teeth cut wounds on human limbs and oozed delicious blood. These more threatening zombies temporarily stayed on the roadside to taste snacks.

The few people who failed to run away began to cry out in pain as their flesh was being chewed, but soon became unresponsive and made the same unpleasant sounds as zombies from their throats. At the moment after the transformation, the flesh and blood in their bodies is no longer attractive to zombies.

Several zombies stood up from them, recognized the particularly good smell, and continued to chase them.

Just after they left, the newly transformed zombies who were left in place could only flop on the ground feebly because of the extremely fast devouring speed and the loss of arms and legs. Finally, they were trampled by the hordes of ordinary zombies that came over. It turned into zombie mud and turned into the black and smelly dirt on the road that was difficult to clean.

Grandpa Li drove as fast as he could and rushed towards their base camp. After entering the community, he drove directly to the entrance with the iron gate and asked the people in the car to get out as soon as possible: "Hurry and hide in."

The old people in the car had experienced being robbed, scuffled, and swarmed by zombies, and they were obviously beginning to think about what else could happen. Even if they were anxious to escape, they still remembered to move some important supplies out.

A group of people moved into the air-raid shelter as quickly as possible. Grandpa Li parked the car far away from the iron gate. Wen Zheng, who found the telescope from the car, had already observed zombies entering the community, and stood outside the door waiting for Li As soon as Grandpa came in, he closed the big iron door and locked it from the inside. The others even pressed the heavy objects in the air-raid shelter against the inside of the door to test.

Tens of seconds later, the zombies that came over smelling the smell and were completely unaffected by the camouflage outside plopped against the iron door.

Killing zombies is a different feeling than killing a living person with your own hands, especially the scene of red blood spurting out of the wound. It is easier to induce emotions when entering a dark air raid shelter.

In their previous dull living environment, it would have taken them at least several days to get rid of this feeling.

However, the zombies that followed them made their bodies feel more nervous and excited about being in danger, making them unable to think about what had happened in the past. It was more important to solve the threats they were facing.

"Grandpa and grandma, you try your best to deal with those zombies first, and I'll absorb some crystal nuclei to restore energy." Wen Zheng explained, regardless of the iron gate's hardness, when the number of zombies reaches a certain level, it is possible to break through the iron gate's defense.

Although he fired several flaming arrows when facing the attacking gang, the first one hit Brother Yang who was holding a shield in his hand. Wen Zheng had to expend a lot of energy to control the flaming arrows to turn. Aim for Brother Yang's ear. In front of Brother Yang and his group, Wen Zheng acted relaxed and relaxed, but in fact, he didn't have much energy at all.

Several grandparents nodded clearly. The zombies who had smelled the smell were lying on the door, their heads just exposed in front of the gap above the iron door, and their bodies were blocked from entering. They were completely living targets.

The width of the hoe cannot fit through those gaps, but the shovel and those sharp kitchen knives can get it right one at a time. If you kill a zombie through the iron gate, new zombies will immediately come to replace you, and you can only continue to kill after that.

At the beginning, the old people could handle it, but then the zombies never left, and the gap in the iron door was too high. It was not easy at all to lift the weapon high and insert it into the zombie's body. After a few more times, my arms became a little sore. .

Even though I almost couldn't stand taking turns fucking my body, I still gritted my teeth and persisted. More and more zombies were killed, and no one and no zombies knew how to clean them up. They were all piled outside the door, eventually becoming a stepping stone for other zombies.

The weapons inside could first attack the zombies' heads. Later, as the ground outside became higher and higher, the attack parts gradually changed to the chest and even the legs. Finally, the zombies who died again completely blocked the outside of the iron door.

After blocking the door, the movement towards the door became much smaller, but it could still be heard.

The zombies piled up outside the door kept transmitting the unpleasant smell of zombies into the air-raid shelter. Even wearing a simple mask made of cloth could not block the unpleasant smell.

Grandpa Li and Grandpa Liu went to check whether the vents in the air-raid shelter were still open. Grandma Shuying carried Yueyue into the inner area, which was relatively unpolluted by the odor. The quieter environment inside made Shuying Grandma could clearly hear the increasingly urgent voice of her granddaughter in her arms.

The little girl didn't wake up when she was riding in the car in the morning. Later, she was very well protected and didn't see too many cruel scenes. Since Yueyue had been lying in her arms and could feel the child's breathing, Shuying didn't think too much. After all, the child had always been obedient.

Feeling something was wrong now, she immediately opened the clothes that were wrapped around the child. Yueyue, who was sleeping, rubbed against her grandma a few times, and then made an uncomfortable groan.

"Yueyue, Yueyue, don't scare me. Tell grandma if you feel uncomfortable." Grandma Shuying immediately became anxious and threw all reason behind her.

The rest of the old people who were paralyzed from exhaustion and resting immediately gathered around again. Grandma Chunxi was much calmer in comparison. She first looked at Yueyue's forehead in silence, and then said with a clear expression: "Look at Yueyue's situation. Isn't it similar to Wen Zheng? Two days ago, Yueyue said that she could sense energy. I guess her power is about to be activated. You should calm down first and don't be too anxious."

These words comforted Grandma Shuying's mood very well. After carefully checking Yueyue's situation, she found that it was indeed similar to Wen Zheng's last time, so she breathed a sigh of relief. When Wen Zheng heard the noise and stopped the process of absorbing the crystal core, and checked the energy changes on Yueyue's body, the probability of the superpower being activated became 10 to 10.

With the experience of taking care of Wen Zheng last time, although he was still extra careful in taking care of Yueyue this time, he was not so nervous and waited patiently for the high fever to subside.

Wen Zheng relied on absorbing crystal cores to replenish most of his energy, ran to the door and burned some of the zombies outside through the iron door. Who knew that just after burning a gap, Wen Zheng's temptation as a superpower caused other zombies to pounce again.

A terrifying zombie head gathered on the railing above the iron door, and purple-black rotten meat even fell into the door. Wen Zheng, who was almost hit, took a few steps back, holding the modified spear in his hand, fixed the zombie's head, and pulled out the crystal core inside through the door.

He did the same thing for a lot of times, until the door was full of zombies again, Wen Zheng burned the ground near the iron door with fire, and all those disgusting things were burned, and the remaining ones were crystal cores that were not afraid of burning.

The crystal core was still white and transparent, but it increased from the size of rice grains to the size of mung beans.

After packing up the crystal cores, Wen Zheng returned to the middle area of ​​the air-raid shelter. Facing the gazes of the old people, he smiled bitterly: "There are still a lot of zombies wandering outside. We can only live here before they leave or I deal with them all."

"It's good to live here. I finally decided to go out, and I encountered this situation. I guess it's God's will that we stay here."

"Yeah, I was reluctant to leave, and now it's good."

"The air-raid shelter has everything. There's nothing wrong with living in it. Anyway, we can't go out, and we can practice the cultivation method you taught us."

The old people didn't care much about living in the air-raid shelter for the next few days, and they didn't even need Wen Zheng to urge them. It might be because they saw Yueyue was about to succeed, or it might be because the experience of being used as a hostage to threaten Wen Zheng made them realize the importance of strength.

In short, the old people practiced more seriously than ever before.

Before practicing, Grandpa Bai Shu turned on the radio and jumped out of the official channel. It was originally the same content as before, but after repeating it several times, an emergency notice suddenly appeared.

"The northeast base of Dingjiang City is about to face a zombie tide. There are a large number of zombies gathering in Tianting District to Dongya District. All survivors heading to the northeast base please pay attention and avoid the above areas. Repeat again..."

The community where they live is in Tianting District. Now it seems that there is no one passing by here, let alone waiting for rescue. This time, it has completely become an isolated city island.

A few hours later, Yueyue woke up after the fever subsided. The little girl in the center of the air-raid shelter just made a sound and attracted everyone's concerned inquiries.

"Grandpa and grandma, don't worry, Yueyue feels great now." Yueyue stood up from her grandmother's arms, and stretched out her right hand like Wen Zheng releasing the flame. After a long time of hard brewing, the breathing of everyone around her became lighter.

Finally found the feeling, and saw a round transparent water ball appear in Yueyue's palm under the dim candlelight.

"Is this a water ball?"

"Yueyue really has superpowers, so amazing!"

"Great, I was worried that the water stored in the air-raid shelter was not enough to drink, Yueyue can provide us with water in the future."

Yueyue, who was praised, widened her already round eyes. The superpower that she had not yet mastered was a little unstable. The water ball in her palm was shaking and flew up and hit Yueyue.

Yueyue, who was splashed with water on her face, was still excited to express her gratitude: "The water I made is so sweet!"

The air-raid shelter was full of laughter. With Yueyue's water superpower, everyone no longer had to worry about the problem of water.

Two people successfully stimulated superpowers, and no one questioned Wen Zheng's practice method anymore. Grandpa and grandma even began to guess what superpowers they would have.

After having a goal, the days of having to stay in the air-raid shelter were not as difficult as they imagined.
