Chapter 67

Cheng Yongzhi called to ask where they were, and ten minutes later, he saw a car coming to pick them up.

The new foothold is in a low-rise office building, an old-fashioned one, with walls made of red bricks.When Yu Nan and the others arrived, someone had checked the security aspects, and Fang Yan was cleaning the house.

Putting down the backpack, Yu Nan went to help.After they cleaned up enough rooms, other people came back one after another, and several people were injured.

After dinner, Zhou Yi piled up a few woven bags in front of him and counted the number with a DNA recorder. Others sat around the camping lights and exchanged the harvest during the day.

"...I met two mutated plants, which grew together, one tree and one vine." An Yongdong looked scared, "After the mutation, the original plant species cannot be seen, but the vines are very thin and knotted. The fruit is black-yellow and disgusting. When people approach it, the fruit will explode, splashing out a highly corrosive liquid."

"That tree should be a ginkgo tree. The leaves are bigger than before, but they still have the same shape. A gum-like thing will flow out of the trunk. The smell is very light, but if you smell it too much, you will feel dizzy." Liu Dong added.

"The injury on Yongdong's body was caused by the corrosion of the liquid, right? Fortunately, the injury is not serious. The injured people of you will stay and rest for a day tomorrow." Cheng Yongzhi looked at them, motioned to continue.

"What we met were zombie dogs," Gu Ming said, "three of them, their combat power is much stronger than that of ordinary second-level zombies, but we didn't find that they have supernatural powers, but they have increased in strength and physique. They are more difficult to deal with than zombies. Be careful when you encounter them."

Cheng Yongzhi nodded and did not speak.

"Xi Ning, Wang Wei, and Wu Qiong and I didn't encounter any abnormalities." Wei Ping said succinctly.

Seeing that no one was talking anymore, Zhan Xuyang squeezed Yu Nan's fingers, indicating that it was her turn.

"We encountered a third-level baby zombie on Huaihua Road. From the relevant information I know, it should be a speed-type mutation. In addition, I guess it may not only have one mutation, but also some kind of air control ability. , because its attacks come from parallel or high places, not from the bottom up on the ground. After all, the height of the zombie baby is only a few tens of centimeters." Yu Nan also expressed his guess.

She thought about it again, "From the perspective of this zombie alone, its strength is much higher than that of the second-level zombie, and it can easily block the attack of weapons. If it is not careful, it will be in danger of being killed by it."

Cheng Yongzhi thought for a moment, "At present, it is not uncommon to find third-level zombies in China. It can be seen that although the number is small, it is not impossible to encounter them. The estimated time we come out this time is one week. You can be more careful during the four days. This is not a peaceful age, and one mistake may give you your life here. I brought you out to sharpen your cooperation and tacit understanding. Before each of you becomes strong, you must Don't turn halfway."

"Yes, Brother Cheng!" Everyone answered in unison.

The next few days were all practical combat exercises. The closer to the city, the more zombies and mutated animals and plants I encountered.From the initial independence of several groups to the later mutual cooperation, it became the biggest gain of this trip.Time is limited, and everyone can't reach the level of "tacit understanding", but at least they have begun to know how to complement each other and cooperate, using other people's strengths to bridge their own weaknesses.

Yu Nan is light and agile, Zhan Xuyang is agile, Wang Lechen is the most powerful, and Hao Jun, who is usually cheerful, finds out that he is the most stable one in actual combat, so he is naturally assigned to the defensive position.The other teams also gained something. On the way back, Yu Nan clearly felt some subtle changes in the interaction between the several people in the team.

During a break on the road, they met a team that had taken on the same mission as them and was about to go to Changyu City.Stopped to exchange a few words, then left in a hurry.

The rest of the journey was fairly peaceful, except for a group of zombie spiders passing by, the big ones were the size of a fist, and the small ones were only the size of ants.There was a slight popping sound when the wheels were crushed, and a very few people climbed onto the car, and were thrown off when the car drove quickly.

Back at the base, when I got out of the car, I found that the body fluids of the spiders that had been crushed on the way had covered the entire lower part of the car, which looked black and sticky, accompanied by the ever-present rancid smell.You don't need to get too close, and people who are smoked will want to vomit.

After the examination, when they returned home, Yu Nan and Zhan Xuyang rushed into their respective rooms non-stop, taking a shower and changing clothes, ignoring Yu Zhensheng and Jiajia who came out to greet them.

When they were tidied up and able to see people, their stomachs were growling with hunger.

Yu Nan simply cooked a pot of noodles, and when she and Zhan Xuyang had filled their stomachs, they had time to listen to Yu Zhensheng. "... Letting Jiang Mingguang out still caused us trouble." He frowned and said, with the expression on his face as if he had swallowed a fly.

"Jiang Mingguang?" Yu Nan was very unfamiliar with this name.

"It's Jiang Tao's father, your uncle."

"Oh." A trace of disgust flashed in my heart, "What did he do?" Yu Nan asked.

"On the second day after you left, someone came to me and asked about your abilities. Jiang Mingguang went to the service center to report that you had abilities, but I was perfunctory." Yu Zhensheng looked at them worriedly, "Xu Xu Yang is better, your ability is not used often, Jiang Mingguang can’t say anything, but just insists on the issue of you being injured and not dead. On Xiaonan’s side, he insisted that you have plant ability, when did you use it? Can he be found?"

Yu Nan frowned and thought, "When I use my abilities, I usually use them in the bedroom or the kitchen with the door closed. It's unlikely that he will see them. Unless..." She suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Unless what?" Zhan Xuyang looked at her.

"Unless he saw me when I was giving birth to wisteria in the yard..." Yu Nan tugged at the aching brows, "But I have always been careful, how could..."

"Maybe he's just guessing." Zhan Xuyang said uncertainly. "After all, our family has never been short of fresh vegetables. None of us has deliberately concealed this from him. Even though the three of us often buy some vegetables to cover up, the quantity is not right after all. And now The important thing is not whether he saw you using the ability, but to hide your ability."

Yu Nan looked at Yu Zhensheng, "Is the person who came to see you from the research institute? Or those from the law enforcement team?"

"Law enforcement team."

"Did they disclose any information? I think if Jiang Mingguang can't produce evidence to prove that I have supernatural powers, I just need to not admit it. Didn't they remind me to update the supernatural power information when the law enforcement team came last time?" Is it? At that time, he didn’t say that registration is mandatory, right?” Yu Nan ran her fingertips across the edge of the table, “It doesn’t matter about the vegetables, anyway, Jiang Mingguang never entered my room, I can make a three-dimensional miniature on the balcony. The vegetable garden also explains why I sometimes take vegetables out of my bedroom."

"This is also a method. I will help you do it tomorrow." Zhan Xuyang said in agreement.

"Okay, you can help me build a shelf, and I will do the rest myself." Yu Nan said while thinking about the cultivation method, scale and other issues of the vegetable garden.She didn't pay attention to what Zhan Xuyang and Yu Zhensheng were talking about sitting together. By the time she got it all sorted out, the two of them had finished talking.

"Sister Xiaonan, is Uncle Jiang a bad person?" Jiajia dragged the chair to Yu Nan's side and sat on it with her legs bent.

Yu Nan touched the little flesh that had just grown on her face, "There are no absolutely good people in this world, and there are no absolutely bad people. Everyone has two sides. It depends on how you judge him. I can't say you Jiang Uncle is a bad person, but he did do bad things and was blinded by hatred. Jiajia, in the future, try not to show your powers in front of others."

Jia Jia nodded obediently, "I remember what Uncle Yu said."

Yu Nan smiled slightly, "Good boy. But" she looked at the time, "is it time for our good boy to go to bed long ago?"

"Ah..." Jiajia glanced around guiltily, "I, I'm going to sleep now."

Yu Zhensheng laughed, "Okay, it's getting late, let's all go to bed." Then, he got up and patted Zhan Xuyang's shoulder, "You guys should take a good rest after being tired for a few days, what's the matter?" There's no rush for this moment."

"Understood." Zhan Xuyang responded.

Back upstairs, seeing Yu Zhensheng and Jiajia entering the room one after another, standing in front of Yu Nan's door, Zhan Xuyang surrounded her, bowed his head and kissed her lips. "Rest early, I will help you with work tomorrow. Don't worry about the law enforcement team. I will talk about it when I find time to inquire about it. It will be fine."

"Yeah." Yu Nan rested her head on his shoulder, "I'm not worried. What would you like to eat tomorrow morning?"

"Anything is fine, I'm not picky eaters." Zhan Xuyang hugged her hard, "Okay, go to sleep, I haven't had a good rest these days, it doesn't matter if I get up later tomorrow."

"Okay, good night."

"Good night." Zhan Xuyang helped her open the door, and waited for her to turn on the light before closing the door.

After washing up, Yu Nan lay down on the bed. Although she was extremely tired, she didn't feel sleepy at all.Thinking about things in a mess, for a while it was Jiang Mingguang's eyes in the yard that day, and for a while it was the fear of facing the third-level zombies.Letting out a long breath, she took a cushion and put it on her back, lying down halfway to open the energy store.

The higher the level of the zombie, the stronger it is.The zombies I have come into contact with before are all first- and second-level zombies. After getting used to their extremely nerve-testing appearance and unbearable smell, it is not difficult to deal with them.She didn't expect that she almost died when she fought against a third-level zombie for the first time. Relying on what she thought was a good "skill", she could easily hunt down low-level zombies, and with the system as a guarantee, she began to be complacent after a long time.

Without fear, it is easy to go astray on the road under your feet.

The appearance of the third-level zombies this time sounded a wake-up call for her, and now looking back, she can't stop being afraid.If she continues to develop with her previous mentality, she will probably become overwhelmed with self-confidence, and will regard fighting zombies as a somewhat difficult game, and she will underestimate herself and underestimate zombies.

The third-level zombies can barely handle it, so what about the fourth-level zombies?What about level five?Will there be seventh, eighth, or ninth grades even higher?When she faced high-level zombies with a relaxed mind, she was not far from death.What's more, it's not just zombies that mutate, but also plants and animals.

Compared with them that can survive under the laws of nature, human beings who are accustomed to a comfortable life are truly vulnerable. Even the weakest creatures can cause qualitative changes when the number reaches a certain level.Everyone understands the truth that more ants kill elephants, but not everyone can understand the profound meaning of this sentence.

It is actually not easy to survive in the dangerous end times.
