Chapter 56: Quiet Village, Misty Rain

The closer you get to the city center, the more chaotic the traffic becomes.

Zhao Minan was alert to the situation around him. Gu Wenyue used the same trick again and moved all the roadblocks in front to the back. Occasionally, when he came across a car that was not seriously damaged, he would leave it in the space for his use.

Gu Jinguo and Gu Wenxing took turns driving and resting during the day. The four of them did not stop for lunch, but ate fast food when they were hungry.

Gu Wenyue's space was filled with a lot of food such as egg-filled pancakes, hand-pulled pancakes, octopus balls, etc., so he didn't feel upset on the way.

Even so, the family's journey wasn't much faster.

The sky was clear and crisp until about four in the evening, when it quickly became overcast.

At this time, there is still more than half of the journey.

"It looks like it's going to rain." Zhao Minan stared at the dark clouds in the sky. Rain was not a good thing for them. It would make it difficult to travel and their vision would be limited.

Most importantly, rainwater is the best irrigation for mutant plants.

"There is a village ahead. Let's spend the night here." Gu Jinguo pointed to the small dark group of houses ahead.

As they got closer, they saw through the car window that there were many zombies wandering in the village, with ragged clothes, broken and incomplete, rotten and black skin, and staggering steps. They could even smell the stench through the car window.

Hearing the sound of the car, the zombies on the street all turned their heads. Their empty gray pupils revealed a creepy weirdness under the dim sky.

"Let's get to work." Gu Jinguo pushed open the car door, and the fresh smell of human flesh made the zombies restless.

A few zombies paused, then, like cheetahs that had discovered delicious food, crawled close to the ground and ran over quickly.

Speed ​​zombies.

The network of water and thunder and lightning took away the first batch of zombies that were too reckless to see the situation clearly.

But zombies have no intelligence. The zombies behind will just keep falling one after another and will not shrink back because of the fall of the zombies in front.

Gu Wenyue released Bai Cai, who paraded in front of the few people. His green mouth danced, and in a moment he sucked dry the water from a zombie that had bumped into his mouth without even having the guts to do so.

Zhao Minan mobilized his psychic powers to wrap the zombie's crystal core. The zombie stopped in a daze, and the next moment was sucked into the green mouth, and soon turned into a ball of ashes.

Several balls of fire came, occasionally mixed with sharp metal blades.

But they couldn't even break through the four people's first line of defense.

"They are all beginner and first-level zombies." Gu Wenyue said softly. The most powerful one was about the same strength as her, so it wouldn't be a big problem.

She leaned steadily against the car. After all, she couldn't help much. Collecting the crystal cores was her job.

In a moment, all the zombies in the village fell down, and Bai Cai's mouth poked at the zombies' heads like a dot.

Gu Wenyue quickly rescued the crystal core from its mouth.

Clean the small crystal core, find a place to rest and then purify and absorb it.

Zhao Minan returned to the car first and called out to the others, "Let's go, find a house to rest."

The car started again.

In the center of the village, there is a small two-story Western-style building, which is quiet and dilapidated.

Gu Jinguo parked the car at the door: "Let's rest here."

Zhao Minan and three others got out of the car, folded it up, and took out a small flashlight.

The gate to the courtyard was wide open, and the ground was covered with dried blood and a section of rotten upper limb.

The house was also in a mess. It was obvious that the owner of the building was only concerned with escaping at the time and probably did not escape in the end.

As soon as they entered the house, a light drizzle began to fall outside.

Gu Wenyue looked up at the thick dark clouds and said, "With such thick clouds, it will probably rain for a long time tonight. Should we rest in the space tonight?"

Gu Wenxing seemed a little resistant. He frowned and said, "What if we meet that man?" "No, he only asks us not to go to the 26th floor. After last time, I found that he is trustworthy and has a bottom line." Although Gu Wenyue was still afraid of that man in her heart, she had already had a significant change in her opinion of him.

Gu Jinguo patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Let's listen to Yueya." Although Yueya was a little naive, she was not a child who would joke with the lives of her family.

Besides, this is something they have to face sooner or later.

Gu Wenxing stopped and nodded in agreement.

Zhao Minan comforted him, "Okay, Xingxing, you are just too concerned. When has your sister ever made an outrageous decision? Right?"

His mother's gentle smile slightly calmed his inner restlessness.

He entered the house first, took out a flashlight and looked through it.

The whole village was pitch dark. Zhao Minan had already explored the area on the way in and didn't find any living people along the way. He estimated that the probability of there being living people in the village was low.

If they turned on a light, they would be too conspicuous.

The four searched both floors and found only a few bags of rice and flour and some unopened four-piece sets, all of which they pocketed.

They chose a room on the second floor and blocked the door. Gu Wenyue left Bai Cai in the room to guard the door, and the four of them flashed and entered the space.

Everything was peaceful and quiet in the space, except that it was always daytime.

"It would be nice if there was night in this space." Gu Wenyue murmured.

Suddenly, the sky darkened and the day turned into night in a short while. In the hazy night, the surrounding objects were vaguely visible.

The three people's eyes fell on Gu Wenyue.

In the darkness, Gu Wenyue smiled awkwardly: "It's not me, I can't control the day and night of the space."

It’s not like she hasn’t tried.

It's that man, he can hear them talking!

She lowered her voice, pointed to the highest point of the black wooden tower, leaned her furry head closer to her family, and said in a low voice: "Shh, don't disturb that person."

The three men's expressions froze for a moment, then became somewhat solemn. The man could hear them, or at least could hear Yueya's words!

Gu Wenxing rubbed his sister's soft and fluffy hair and nodded.

The four of them returned to their rooms to rest.

On the twenty-sixth floor, a god-like man stood in front of the window, his eyebrows lowered with a distant look, and his gaze seemed to pass through the night and fall on the small bamboo house on the ground.

On the hexagonal table behind him, the box had long disappeared.

A beautiful rag doll wearing a blue skirt and a girl's bun slowly opened her eyes.

Outside the space, after the four people rested, a yellow school bus stopped at the entrance of the village.

"Boss, there are no zombies in this village. Should we be more cautious?" A skinny man said cautiously to a muscular man next to him, bowing his head.

The sturdy man had a tattoo of a blue dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right on his bare arms. He raised his thick arms and patted the skinny monkey on the back: "What the hell are you yelling about? Don't I know that?"

Then he ordered the people behind him, "Get out of the car and check the situation first."

There were eight people in total on the school bus, six men and two women. Except for the strong man and the skinny man who stayed on the bus, the other four men heard what the strong man said, looked at each other and got off the bus together.

The two women huddled at the back of the car, hugging each other tightly and shivering, with bruises all over their bodies.
