Doomsday magician

Chapter 221
Seeing that Baby Cen had agreed, Leopard couldn't say anything more.Actually speaking, the main reason is that today's situation is a little bit special.In normal times, it would be nothing if Baby Cen disappeared for a few hours.

"Is it still this messy outside?"

Cen Baobao picked up the candle wick with a bamboo stick, making the candle's light brighter.Afterwards, she sat back next to the piano again, her white and tender fingers lightly rested on the black and white keys, and slid unconsciously.

Reminded by the string of brisk piano sounds, Xu Bai noticed that this girl whom he hadn't seen for a few days seemed to be more beautiful.She was wearing a loose camel coat with a slightly open green cardigan inside, which looked slim and fit.Against the backdrop of that elegant and expensive Shemick piano, Cen Baobao showed another side of her charm that she hadn't shown before.

Xu Bai walked away to pay attention, and then replied: "I don't think there will be peace tonight, unless the rain stops and maybe it will be better."

With that said, he walked to the window and opened the thick curtains.

Looking out from the second floor, you can only see countless raindrops and a few lanterns swaying in the dark wind.It's just that the faint yellow light is so inconspicuous in the thick darkness that people can't feel the light at all.Perhaps the sound insulation effect of this villa is good, and the outside sound can hardly be heard in the room.But Xu Bai clearly felt that there were thousands of survivors complaining and groaning on the distant island.

The root cause of all this is the zombies.

The leopard also came over and looked out through the window.After a few seconds, he frowned and said, "It looks like the rain won't stop tonight."

Cen Baobao sighed, and said worriedly: "Such heavy rain, being drenched outside for a whole night, I don't know how many people will get sick tomorrow. I hope they can all survive..."

At this moment, in addition to sympathy, Cen Baobao felt deeply grateful.Fortunately, I was walking with the young man in front of me. If it wasn't for him and that magical magic, maybe I would be one of the people outside in the rain at this moment.Although it is not impossible for him to suffer, but such a wind and rain, it is still too difficult to endure the whole night.

What's more, there are hundreds of thousands of zombies around the lake outside the island.

The pressure and worries in my heart are magnified by a night of wind and rain. Unless you are a person with excellent health and strong will, you will probably not be able to bear it.

The wick of the candle jumped and made a slight crackling sound, and the dim yellow shadow on the wall swayed along with it.

The three of them didn't speak any more, Xu Bai and Leopard stood by the window, staring at the darkness outside the window in a daze.Cen Baobao lightly pressed the keys a few times, and after a while, she sat up straight and started playing the piano again.

The crisp and pleasant sound of the piano sounded again in the room. Although I hadn't heard the piece that Cen Baobao was playing before, I could hear the tranquility and warmth in the piece.In an instant, Xu Bai was attracted by Cen Baobao's piano sound, he closed his eyes slightly, and listened to the music she played with heart in the dim candlelight.

Unknowingly, the peaceful song is coming to an end.Cen Baobao didn't stop, on the contrary, he continued to play a low and passionate tune on the side of the tune.

This time, Xu Bai did recognize what she was going to play - "Exodus".

The background of this piano piece is a story from the Bible.Xu Bai had heard the famous pianist Maxim play before, and was shocked by the music, so he went to check it out.If I remember correctly, it should be the story of Moses leading the Hebrews out of slavery in Egypt, and then leaving there to start a new life of freedom in the wilderness.

Cen Baobao's piano is indeed good, but compared to the famous piano master like Maxim, it is naturally much worse.However, at this moment, Cen Baobao was devoting himself to playing this famous piece seriously.At the beginning of the sound of the piano, it seemed to be narrating something heavily, which reminded Xu Bai of the scene of countless people moving forward with difficulty. Afterwards, the heaviness reached its extreme, and it seemed that it was on the verge of a turning point.The piece struggles to lift itself in the hope of potentially becoming soaring, but returns to its original somber, heavy theme after a brief repetition of the extended theme.

It's like the battle between humans and zombies in the past six months.

When the zombies first broke out, people were helpless and didn't know how to deal with the terrifying zombie virus.Later, with the establishment of major bases, the survivors began to rely on the bases to resist the attack of zombies.For Xu Bai who joined the Jin'an base, he still remembers how the base's [-] troops repelled the attacks of millions of zombies several times.At that time, many survivors of the base thought that they should be victorious, and that it was very possible to completely wipe out the zombies and rebuild order.

However, with the explosion of nuclear weapons and the early appearance of Tier [-] zombies, they had no choice but to abandon the Jin'an base.

Later, with the increase of the third-order zombies, the appearance of zombie animals and zombie birds, the survivors seem to be farther and farther away from rebuilding civilization.The central base tried its best to open up the Beijing-Shanghai line, but in the end it failed.For all the survivors, the current situation is indeed extremely sad and heavy.

Especially at this moment, the heavy wind and rain outside, and the thousands of survivors who were shivering with cold, confused and unable to see hope, aggravated the almost desperate atmosphere.

However, in this dark repetition, the tune unconsciously acquires something new.It was a pent-up anger, an awakened expectation.Each note is passionate with composure and firmness, and is constantly advancing towards a firm goal.

It was Moses holding the shepherd's staff blessed by God and crossing the Red Sea before the pursuers led by the Egyptian pharaoh Messes arrived.As if miraculously, a smooth avenue split from the middle of the surging Red Sea, allowing the Hebrews to successfully arrive at their new home and get rid of the deadly pursuers.

The survivors do not have God, nor the magical shepherd's staff that he blessed, but they have weapons and determination—perhaps, that kind of fearlessness and sacrifice are still unable to resist the attack of third-order zombies or even fourth-order zombies, even if they are limited in scale The wild beastmen are also not good, but in this world, there is a brand new power with unlimited potential.

stranger.

For Xu Bai and the survivors around him, this extremely powerful ability is the shepherd's staff blessed by God in Moses' hands. Can reach the other shore like the Hebrews at that time.

Infected by the music, Xu Bai's mood gradually improved.

Before this, Xu Bai himself was a little depressed and confused.First, they were attacked by waves of zombies in Gushan, and then the entire villa area was completely destroyed, so that they had to abandon it.Later, I crossed the Yangtze River and came to the Changshan Lake area, but found that this is not a beautiful peach blossom garden.They had only been here for a day, and they encountered a joint attack from two local camps. Although they succeeded in severely injuring them in the end, they also suffered a lot of losses.

The most important thing is that the strength of the survivors is limited, and they are not enough to deal with zombies, so how can they be used in civil wars?
Further down, it is after moving to Anshun Island, which is what happened today.

Facing the attack of 30 zombies, although the survivors around the lake area managed to escape to the island, the embarrassment and desolation under the heavy rain gave him a feeling of lingering.They can hide like this today, and they can still hide when they come to attack two weeks later, but they can't keep hiding like this forever.

Under the ravages of zombies, human strength is fading at an extremely fast speed every day.On the contrary, the zombies are constantly evolving.Although their numbers have also been reduced to a certain extent, it is foreseeable that the zombies must be able to survive longer than humans.

The ancients once said that if you are poor, you will benefit yourself alone, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world.

Before the ability reached a certain level, Xu Bai could only lead the people around him to try his best to protect himself.But now, as he is about to break through and is only one step away from a higher level, Xu Bai realizes that he has the need and the ability to do something.Now that he has become the lucky one and obtained the ability, this powerful ability cannot be wasted.Besides, those damn zombies won't let themselves and the people around them go just because he backed down.Today, the few thousand survivors on the outer islands are the best example.

At this moment, listening to Cen Baobao's repeated low and passionate melody, and looking at the deep darkness outside, Xu Bai finally made up his mind.

He set himself a goal.

Build a safe base on the spot, and expand the manpower and strength of the elite team.Then, with their help, the zombies are gradually eliminated. After all, no matter how advanced the zombies are, their number is limited, even if more zombie animals and zombie birds are added.

As for the longer-term goal, he didn't dare to think about it for a while.However, the meal needs to be eaten bite by bite, and the most urgent short-term goal is to be achieved right now.

When Baby Cen finished playing the piece and raised his head, what he saw was Xu Bai's determined expression full of fighting spirit.Xu Bai like this gives people a sense of security that can be trusted, and it also makes her smile slightly in her heart.She didn't expect that she just wanted to play the piano unintentionally, but she also solved some of the knots in the man in front of her.

"Thank you."

Xu Bai sincerely thanked the girl, turned around and went downstairs, stepping into the darkness.
