Chapter 174 Entering Lingxi Town
"No, there are people there!" After a quick search, one of them suddenly shouted.
A human-shaped black figure suddenly sprang out from outside the wall at an unbelievably fast speed.
'boom! 'Not long after yelling this sentence, the person who yelled felt his body volley in the air, as if being hit in the center by a locomotive.
Immediately afterwards, he flew dozens of meters away.
The others took a closer look, and found that the figure's face was blurred, and there was a feeling of deja vu.
But what is more eye-catching is the complexion of this person's entire body.
His skin color was neither the flesh color of a normal person, nor the white after the mutation of the zombie tissue, but an amazing red that had never been seen before.
When they saw the figure, they no longer hesitated, aimed at the muzzle of the already loaded gun, raised it, straightened it, and fired quickly.
'bang bang bang bang'
Nearly ten guns fired suddenly, and the bullets were densely covered like drizzle, and then shot out.
Smoking white mist poured out from the side, making people feel choked just looking at it.
The imagined flesh and blood flying around did not appear. The figure in front of him only moved backward slightly, and then stopped.
Yes, in the face of the intensive attack of hundreds of bullets, he did not die or fall. In the end, he did not even pause.
This moment froze for half a second, and the others subconsciously opened their dry eyes, confirming that the person in front of them was indeed still alive.
"Run!" I don't know who yelled. After someone turned around, they realized that the teammates behind them had already started to retreat.
Where is this human, this is simply scarier than zombies.
They discarded their guns and fled in panic.
At the same time, Liu Qing's world was covered with a thin layer of white mist, as if someone who was short-sighted by [-] degrees took off his eyes.
The skin all over his body was red, and with the continuous use of energy, he successfully used the power of the Zombie King.
The bullet hit him, only causing trembling itches.
As time passed, the consciousness in his mind gradually blurred, but what was different from the past was that this time he would not go crazy, but would pass out directly after the energy was exhausted.
This is what he learned from his experiments in the past two days. When hunting animals, he used the power in his body and found that the output of white light became stable and he could sense its existence.
Like that green energy, they exist in their own bodies, and they are generally in a state of competing with each other, and more importantly, some of them have been mixed together.
But he couldn't mobilize this mixed energy.
It wasn't until this afternoon's thinking, when he looked at the dim sky, that he had a certain guess in his heart.
"Sure enough," muttered in her heart, Liu Qing looked forward.
These protective suits are escaping in all directions.
"Can't let them go back", this idea went through his head, and his actions followed closely.
It's strange to say that under the huge increase in strength, there seems to be a hidden instinct in the bones, which can be skillfully mobilized without having to adapt.
After a few steps, as if he had calculated the distance, he came to the back of the person in front.
Immediately afterwards, a bloodthirsty desire protruded from his heart, he stretched out his fist, opened it unconsciously, and then grabbed the head of the person in front of him.
With a slap of the palm, the palm was clasped tightly on his forehead, and then he exerted a little force.
'Puff', the sound of the spine being pulled out came out, and at the same time the head of the person in front of him, including the protective clothing, was pulled off in its entirety.
When he died, the protective suit didn't even make a sound.
In the light of the fire, Liu Qing just held a head like this, and a sense of satisfaction rose in his heart.
Not far away, he saw another team coming from that direction.
"Nine, ten, eleven", counting a little more carefully, Liu Qing was sure that there were fifteen more people.
As soon as he straightened his body, he felt a sense of soaring and falling from a high place, as if he was sneaking up on others above the fish house. He felt that his movements and consciousness were very sensitive.
When he jumped down, he used his fist to dent the other man's chest, and then penetrated out from the inside.
After finishing off the second person, Liu Qing jumped again to catch up with the next target.
In the constant pursuit, like a hunter's hunting action, after 2 minutes, the people who were walking around turned into corpses at his feet.
Liu Qing stood next to a corpse, feeling a sense of boredom rising from his heart.
After everyone died, things seemed to end there.
"No, there's one more." When his energy was about to run out, he gradually broke away from the form of the zombie king, and found that he had missed another person.
"Shouldn't have run away." After quickly looking around, Liu Qing was sure that he didn't see anyone running away.
There is only one reason for this, that is, this person is hiding around.
"Where could it be?" After the boiling blood in his body subsided, a coolness emerged. At the same time, his head began to become cloudy.
He took a few steps back and walked around several corpses around him.
He leaned to the side, carefully observing his surroundings.
Without the blessing of energy, after your body returns to its original state, if you are hit by a bullet, you will undoubtedly die.
This is tantamount to exposing his true strength.
He looked ahead.
On the side of the deer garden, there is a green space and grass in front of him. If the other party is hiding, he can only be in the bushes.
The firelight illuminated the wall like daylight, but at the same time, the distance further fell into darkness.
Covering half of his body, Liu Qing's eyes suddenly focused, and he noticed that one of the trees was moving.
The branches swayed, but it was obviously not moved by the wind.
In the small venue, the remaining person can only be in this place.
After determining the opponent's location, he picked up a gun from the front and pointed the muzzle at that location.
"Stop, spare my life! Forgive my life!" As if aware of his actions, a passionate voice suddenly sounded, and at the same time a figure rushed out of it.
After appearing in front of himself, he raised his hands and knelt down, and prostrated himself on the ground.
"Brother! Brother! Spare my life! I was just forced to come here. I have two daughters at home that I need to take care of." When he said this, he seemed to have been accumulating energy for a long time, but it still felt very abrupt. started crying.
Liu Qing: "."
Noticing that Liu Qing put down the gun and remained silent, he began to speak to himself.
"I just obeyed the order. Now that everyone is dead, I am no longer a member of the company. You sir have a lot of good deeds. Please let me go. I will leave here immediately and never come back."
In his excitement, the man couldn't speak clearly.
"Take off your clothes first," Liu Qing said coldly.
After speaking, the man immediately took off his protective clothing, revealing an ordinary man's face in the firelight.
With concentrated eyes, Liu Qing took a closer look at his face, and found that it was not the serious face he imagined. In other words, no matter how you looked at it, he was a normal person.
Although it is wrong to judge people by their appearance, I still believed his words somewhat.
"You wanted to kill me before, but now let me let you go?" He, who was not yet clear about the organization's intentions, asked tentatively.
"Brother! Brother! I really obey the order, and my family is in their hands. I have no choice and I have no idea about you!" At this point, the man burst into tears again.
It seems that his psychological quality is indeed not very good.
Liu Qing's eyes narrowed, not caring about his identity, "Then how much do you know about this company?"
The man shook his head unexpectedly, "I don't know much at all. I only know that they arrest people according to the nearby areas. A month ago, I was guarded by a few people, and then I met with others. Together."
"Then what are the characteristics of you people?"
"Yes, they have one requirement for arresting people, that is, they must have good psychological quality, so that they can be easily commanded. As far as I know, basically all of them have served in the army."
At this point, Liu Qing suddenly asked, "What's your name?"
"Xie Zhiqiang."
"Get up first, come in with me and talk later." Sensing the gradual spread of the fire, Liu Qing walked over to help him up, "As long as you tell the truth, we will let you survive."
As soon as he said this, the man seemed to be insane, and he started to speak incoherently, "Thank you, thank you, I will, I will."
Before the fire reached the zoo, Liu Qing had no time to go back to look for Yin Guoping and others. It took him about ten minutes to pick up all the supplies in the warehouse and load them into an off-road vehicle not far from the small door.
Then he took Xie Zhiqiang into the car and started driving.
At this moment, he looked out the window, the fire illuminated the night, and it had spread to the deer garden, and the fire was getting stronger and stronger, almost burning half of the mountain outside the wall.
The sky was shrouded in mist, and from time to time, the silhouettes of birds flew by.
It seems that without human control, the mountains here will suffer.
"That's good, these zombies and corpses can all be disposed of." A thought floated in his mind, and then he drove the car, not afraid of Xie Zhiqiang's sudden outburst.
He drove the car along the entrance of the zoo, and finally left Haicheng Zoo, chased by zombies.
"It should be over there." After a little identification of the direction, he drove the car in the northeast direction.
Impressively, it was exactly where Yin Guoping and Wu Yue were.
Although the fire was strong and the night was dark until early morning, they had enough reaction time and pistols for self-defense, so they probably wouldn't be harmed.
Sure enough, along the way, he soon came to this path, and saw Yin Guoping and Wu Yue.
"Are you there? Uncle Ping, Yueyue, are you still there?"
"Uncle Ping! Yueyue!"
Before doing it again, Liu Qing tried to shout loudly.
Although they could identify the car at a glance, the two of them came out of the woods after careful observation.
"Brother Qing, it's great that you're okay." Wu Yue looked very excited when she saw herself, her voice unconsciously filled with sobs, "Uncle Heping heard so many gunshots, and he was furious. It started to burn again, and I thought you were dead."
Yin Guoping on the side also patted Liu Qing on the shoulder, with a guilty look on his face, "If you hadn't been used to protect us, you should have been able to go out a long time ago."
After saying a few words, Yin Guoping and Wu Yue fell silent again.
In a short period of time, the three of them seemed to have experienced life and death, especially Wu Yue, whose eyes were almost swollen from crying at such a young age.
"Okay, am I still alive? Let's leave here first, I have something to say to you."
After briefly explaining the matter, Liu Qing said that after killing these people by means of a sneak attack, he said that he had captured a hostage.
"Hostages? Are they the organization behind Jiang Qi?" Yin Guoping, who had calmed down, also guessed where these people were coming from.
"Yes", as they said, the three of them got on the off-road vehicle, and then walked up the mountain further away in silence and fire.
Looking from mid-air, there is a white road there.
The car drove all the way, and the distance from the flames in the sky was getting farther and farther. Gradually, they drove on a road called National Highway G5317.
The road stretched out underfoot, and some scrapped cars lay beside it.
So far, in the early morning of October [-]rd, they successfully left Haicheng.
"Find a place to live first." The three of them made up their minds and started traveling along the national highway of China.
In the dark night, some scattered zombies appeared from time to time on the road, but Liu Qing turned around to avoid them.
The whirring sound of the engine kept ringing. Half an hour later, the surrounding square meters and brick houses emerged. Looking at the road sign, Liu Qing realized that he and others had come to a small town called Lingxi .
At this time, the person named Xie Zhiqiang was still sitting next to him.
"Let's stay here." Looking at the clock on the dial, Liu Qing found that it was already past one o'clock in the morning, and at this time, he and others had not eaten for a day.
"If we live here, these square meters are fine, as long as we block the door." Yin Guoping heard this and considered the house.
Because it is close to the mountainous area, there are no high-rise buildings in the town, which is why the three of them had no choice but to do so.
But despite being close to the mountains, the town is still deserted. To be precise, it is still occupied by zombies.
After driving the car into the town, Liu Qing discovered that on these small roads, stalls were scattered with scattered fruits, and there were occasionally a few zombies of the townspeople wandering on the road.
"There are so many places for people in this organization to poison themselves!" As he spoke, Yin Guoping looked at Xie Zhiqiang unconsciously.
Xie Zhiqiang, who gradually calmed down, dared not say a word.
The car was parked under a remote red brick building. After making sure that the surrounding area was safe, the four of them got out of the car.
Of course, Xie Zhiqiang was detained by Yin Guoping.
The gate was not locked, and the things outside the building were dilapidated, but the things inside were cleaned up. Liu Qing and Yin Guoping saw neither living people nor corpses.
In addition, there is a well in the yard.
After thinking about it, Liu Qing considered the threshold and the width of the door, and decided to drive the car into the courtyard.
"Uncle Ping, you press those two pieces of wood on the threshold, and I'll drive the car in first."
After explaining a few words, he cooperated with Yin Guoping and drove the car into the courtyard.
In the small yard, one-third of the area was suddenly taken up.
After locking the wooden door bolt, Liu Qing found that the situation was much better than he thought.
Although the town was occupied by zombies, he and others successfully settled down without having to fight them.
"Yueyue, eat these dried meats first." After carrying out the food, Liu Qing took the lead in giving the food to Wu Yue.
Even though Wu Yue didn't say it, it must have been very uncomfortable after not eating for a day.
Due to time and work schedule issues, the three of them did not dare to eat too much.
It took them ten minutes to solve the stomach problem.
Next, comes the familiar plot of cross-examination.
But this time Liu Qing and Yin Guoping did not sing the double act.
They started asking questions directly.
"I think I heard you say it was a company. What's the name of this company?" Liu Qing moved a chair, sat down and looked at Xie Zhiqiang.
"Qiucheng Biotechnology Co., Ltd.", the man answered truthfully with a weak expression.
"Qiucheng?" Liu Qing had never been out of the province, so he forgot what Qiucheng was and where it was.
"Qiucheng? Isn't this the northwest side of Huaguo?" Hearing this, Wu Yue was the first to answer, "I remember it's the capital of the barren province, I've seen it in books."
"Then have you heard of this company?" Yin Guoping asked beside him.
Both Liu Qing and Wu Yue shook their heads.
"Even if you know the name, it's still not certain that this company is the main body of the organization," Liu Qing added.
He asked again, "Were you really forced to do so a month ago? Why didn't the police find you?"
"It's true," Xie Zhiqiang nodded. "On the one hand, I'm not from this province, but actually from Lin Province. Secondly, they promised that if I obey the arrangement, my family will also get a lot of benefits."
"Do you believe it?"
"Yes," Xie Zhiqiang nodded, "I have to believe it, after I saw those zombies."
Liu Qing and Yin Guoping were both speechless, but he suddenly remembered a key question, "Why did you think of coming to the wildlife park?"
"I don't know, I just obey the arrangement, but it sounds like a hard order to hear."
"Is there no other purpose?"
"Judging from what I have done, I have been looking for someone, and the captain may know more than me."
At this point, Liu Qing suddenly felt a little regretful, regretting that he didn't leave anyone alive, or ask them, let them tell him who is the captain.
To let him know more about the situation.
But he was just thinking about it, after all, it was taken for granted.
"Then where is your family now?" Wu Yue asked at the side.
"I don't know, I just video-video with them once a week, and I don't know how they took my parents, wife and daughter away," Xie Zhiqiang sighed at this point.
Perhaps because of empathy, Wu Yue's eyes dimmed, and he seemed a little moved by him.
"Yueyue, don't think he is pitiful. Everyone is pitiful now. He is lucky to be alive." Upon seeing this, Liu Qing added, "Although he is executing the death order, if it weren't for luck, we would all be dead today." it's here."
His own words seemed to be very useful. After finishing speaking, Wu Yue immediately put away his expression and quickly adjusted his state.
People have to adapt to the environment after all.
"Then what did you come here on?" Yin Guoping asked.
"It's a bus that looks like it has been remodeled and turned green. A total of [-] of us came here." Xie Zhiqiang paused, "The basics of these things, we basic personnel must know."
As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and immediately added, "Besides, I'm the most basic person, and there are other people in the company, and the tools they ride should be much more advanced than people like me."
"Have you seen it?"
"No." Xie Zhiqiang tugged the muscles around his mouth and forced a smile.
The four were speechless for a while, one couldn't answer, and the other three didn't know what to ask.
Looking at the empty and cool inner courtyard, Liu Qing felt suddenly very tired, "Uncle Ping, let's sleep first, and see what's in town tomorrow, other dangers."
"Well," Yin Guoping responded, "But we can't rest assured about this kid, we have to tie him up."
As he said that, he found a rope from the yard and began to tie Xie Zhiqiang.
Xie Zhiqiang on the side was silent, still looking nervous.
Liu Qing and Wu Yue then entered the room.
Because Wu Yue is still young and for precautionary reasons, they do not plan to sleep in separate rooms.
The two walked into the door on the right and found that the bed was covered with a patterned quilt unique to rural areas.
The cabinet, dressing table, and bucket for urinating are next to the bed.
In addition, there is a single room blocked off by a partition.
"Yueyue, do you want to sleep outside or inside?"
Wu Yue was silent for a while, "Well, Brother Qing, I'm a little scared. Can you sleep next to me?"
"Okay." After saying this, Liu Qing no longer hesitated and lay down on the bed. She was exhausted and just wanted to fall asleep quickly.
"When Uncle Ping comes back, let him sleep in the room inside," he murmured before going to sleep, and then closed his eyes.
I closed my eyes for a while, and the world suddenly seemed to disappear.
But after a while, Liu Qing felt a soft and hot body suddenly nestled against his body.
"This girl", a strange feeling rose in Liu Qing's heart. At the same time, he also felt a little speechless.
But soon, he fell asleep.
As expected, he was the first to wake up.
On the morning of the 3rd, Liu Qing got up to tidy up, and walked to the inner courtyard without brushing her teeth.
The wooden door bolt was still locked. Compared with other people, Xie Zhiqiang was tightly bound, and he had to lean against the wall with his legs crossed in his sleeping position.
After asking all the questions, Liu Qing climbed up the cement steps on the side and reached the top floor of the red brick house without paying attention to him.
Looking out from here, you can have an unobstructed view of the town.
Apart from the market and a modest fitness facility, the town's government is just over a kilometer away.
Although it is a familiar scene.
There are no vendors opening on the muddy trail, and there is no taste of rice rolls in memory.
The town looks a little unremarkable.
"Would you like to listen to the radio?"
Liu Qing was a little confused. According to the tasks issued by the system, he now had to collect deformed animals of the water and fire systems in order to increase the power of his flames.
In addition, there is another task that has to be completed, which is to help China gain a firm foothold.
