Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 104: Tacit Cooperation
Zhou Lei turned to look at his brother, "Are you sure you can get Bai Li here this way?"

Zhou Hui smiled and raised his chin towards the vines, "Look."

Zhou Lei turned his head back again, and then his eyes widened in surprise, because the vine seemed to be alive and moved on its own, and it grew a lot longer and then climbed onto the top of the iron gate.

Zeng Sujie returned to the front of the car, smiling, "Bai Li will be here soon."

Zhou Lei pointed at the vine and asked, "Did this thing reply to you?"

“Yes.”

"What did you reply?"

"Didn't I just say that? She will be here soon."

Zhou Lei:.
He suspected that his brother and sister-in-law were talking nonsense, but he had no evidence.

Zeng Sujie didn't think she was talking nonsense. She pulled the vines and the vines responded to her, which meant that Baili knew they were coming. If that was the case, she would definitely come over soon.

Bai Li did see them standing at the door, but because of the distance, she couldn't hear what she said.

But it doesn’t matter whether he heard it or not. He came here before daybreak, so something must have happened.

As soon as Bai Li moved, Jiang Minglang woke up, but he didn't open his eyes. He just put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him, whispering, "It's still early."

"Zhou Lei and Zhou Hui are here."

Jiang Minglang opened his eyes and looked out the window. There was a gap between the two curtains. It was left when he woke up to check during the thunder last night.

Looking out through the gap at this time, the light outside is dim, and if you don't look carefully, you will think it is still night.

There were faint sounds of footsteps coming from downstairs. Although they were quite quiet, Bai Li and Jiang Minglang had sharp hearing and knew that the old lady and old man, whose biological clocks were very accurate, had gotten up.

Well, it's already half past five in the morning.

Jiang Minglang touched the watch on the bedside table and pressed the night vision light. The time displayed on it was five thirty-two.

"You sleep a little longer, I'll go check it out."

"I'll go too. Both of their families are here. Something must have happened in Zhoujiazhuang."

The two got up quickly, put on the same black sportswear, went downstairs, said goodbye to the old man and the old lady, and drove the SUV parked at the backyard gate to the door.

Of course, there is no need to drive just to pick someone up, but they both anticipated that things were not simple, so they might have to go out and take a look.

Sure enough, after listening to what the Zhou brothers said, Jiang Minglang frowned.

A zombie tide?

It shouldn't be just this.

The lightning and thunder last night were strange. He was standing by the window and had a feeling that something was going to happen.

Later he found out that the heavy rain did not fall in Pengcheng, but went to Pingcheng, and he was relieved.

But Pingjiang Bridge is right next to Pengcheng, so if something happens there, Pengcheng will definitely be affected.

Jiang Minglang turned his head and looked towards Pingcheng. The rain had stopped long ago, but the sky there always seemed darker and more depressing than here.

Compared to the zombies coming over Pingjiang Bridge, I'm afraid something big has happened in Pingcheng.

His guess was correct. When it rained heavily last night, the zombies in Pingcheng seemed to have been given stimulants. They were actually more flexible in the rain than usual and could accurately find survivors.

One makeshift camp after another was broken into, the doors and windows of houses were smashed open, and biting, screaming, calling for help, and desperate crying were the main themes of Pingcheng in the heavy rain last night.

Now the rain has passed, but the sky is still not clear. However, Pingcheng is now equivalent to a dead city.

Even deadlier than Cannes before.

"You go in with Uncle Dong to find my dad. There are many empty houses in the village. Go pick two adjacent ones."

The cabin in the orchard is relatively close to the gate. Long before Bai Li and Jiang Minglang arrived, Chen Dong, who was used to getting up early, already knew that there was someone at the gate because of the humming of Dalong and Erlong.

He took the knife and was about to check when he met Bai Li and his wife who were driving over.

When the door opened, Chen Dong recognized Zhou Lei.

This boy is Minglang's classmate, he has met him before.

Jiang Minglang patted Zhou Lei on the shoulder and said, "Go in and settle down first, we'll go over and take a look."

"Then you have to be careful. I looked through a telescope. Although it's not very clear, it's pitch black and you can't see the edge at all."

These words were said by Zhou Hui. He and Bai Li came back from Pingjiang Bridge together. They knew exactly what happened on the bridge. They felt it was a bit unreal to see so many zombies crossing the bridge at the same time.

It's weird too.

After all, there are too many cars piled up on the bridge, making it difficult for people to walk, and the same goes for zombies.

So why did so many of them suddenly come here?
Bai Li turned around and was about to get in the car when she suddenly heard a "ah" and then something appeared on her shoulder.

She turned her head and looked at Feng Bao, very surprised, "Why did you get up so early today?"

"what!"

"Want to come with us?"

"what!"

"Okay, I'll take you with me then."

Everyone:.
Zhou Lei opened his mouth slightly, looking at the scene in shock, thinking that Bai Li not only evolved wood-related abilities, but could also speak bird language?

Awesome!
Jiang Minglang's car quickly disappeared from everyone's sight, and the Zhou family quickly settled down with the help of Bai Xiangtian. Although Zhou Lei's parents and his second uncle and aunt were still reluctant to leave their own home, they also knew that no matter how important home was, it was not as important as life.

Fortunately, Yunxi Village is not far from Zhoujiazhuang, so it will be easier for them to go back after this wave of zombies passes.

On the other side, Bai Li and Jiang Minglang deliberately took the road that the Zhou family came from, which was also the road closest to Pingjiang Bridge.

Maybe the Zhou family left early, so it was very quiet along the way, without a single zombie, until we were almost at Zhoujiazhuang.

They went around from the north to the southern road. In a certain area, the darkness before dawn was illuminated by fire and thick smoke was billowing. When they got closer, they could hear the crackling sound of firewood exploding and smell the burnt meat. That was because the zombies heard the sound and rushed into the fire regardless of anything.

The fire was a pile of firewood, including straw and wood. Pengcheng's weather is dry and it hasn't rained recently, so it's easy to catch fire with such a pile of firewood.

But as zombies rushed over one after another, the fire gradually weakened and the smoke became thicker.

Jiang Minglang parked the car on the road south of Zhoujiazhuang. The two saw that in addition to the zombies surrounding the campfire, there were more zombies banging on the doors of some people's houses. The banging sounds continued, mixed with the barking of dogs.

So far, apart from the two generals Heng and Ha, they have not seen the third mutated cat and dog.

Bai Li never understood why this happened. Does mutation have to be divided by region?
This east-west highway leads directly to Pingjiang Bridge. In addition to the zombies entering Zhoujiazhuang, there are many more on the road. Looking west, there is no end in sight.

Just like Zhou Hui said, it really is a zombie tide.

"Why are there so many people coming over the bridge?" "Let's go over and take a look. If nothing works, we can just block the bridge."

Jiang Minglang did not change the route, and even turned on the music in the car, with the driver and passenger windows opened a crack.

Immediately afterwards, two flying knives flew out of the car. As the car moved forward, they whizzed through the foreheads of the zombies, taking their lives easily.

Two vines sprang out of the passenger window on the other side, and before the harvested zombies fell, they would wrap around them and pull them into the ditch on the side of the road. Sometimes they would encounter one or two zombies that were about to approach, and they would be taken away together.

The two men, one killing the other, soon cleared a path on the road full of zombies.

The cooperation is extremely tacit.

Because of the music in the car, all the zombies that were originally in Zhoujiazhuang swarmed onto the road, so soon, a large group of them followed the car.

When they were a little further away from Zhoujiazhuang, Jiang Minglang turned off the music.

Even though he helped to lure out most of the zombies in the village, many of the courtyard doors had been knocked open when they came over, so as to what the situation was like inside.
"What do you see on the bridge?"

Because of the supernatural power, Bai Li's eyesight is much better than before, and even her 200-degree myopia has been cured. At this time, from a distance of about 1,000 meters, she could vaguely see a row of things squatting on the strong beams of Pingjiang Bridge.

It's dark and I don't know what it is.

What was strange was that as their car got closer and closer to the bridge, the things suddenly flew up into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Can it actually fly?

Bai Li turned her head to look at Feng Bao standing on her shoulder, only to see the little bird's pair of eyes also looking outside, seeming to be even more curious than her.

Then Fengbao jumped onto her right shoulder, flapped the window with one of its wings, and turned to look at her.

It looked like it was saying: Open the window, I'm going out!

Bai Li refused, "You don't even know what that is, why go out? They are a group of people, and you are alone, how can you beat them?"

Although the little bird has an ability that seems to be able to cover the surface of objects with a colorless protective film, its specific hardness remains to be considered.

But Bai Li still had no confidence in going out like this.

She poked its fat belly with her index finger, looking at it with disdain, "Look at how fat you are. It's hard to say whether you can fly two miles away. If you get surrounded by others, won't you just get beaten?"

"what!"

"Ah, what? You're still not convinced?"

"what!"

"Shut up and stay still."

Her intuition told her that there was something fishy about that group of black guys, and she didn't want Feng Bao to go out and take risks.

While driving, Jiang Minglang glanced at his bird curiously and asked his wife, "Can it really gather a large number of birds?"

"Of course, even though you can eat and drink it at ordinary times, it can be useful at critical moments, right Fengbao?"

This time Feng Bao didn't say "ah", but just glanced at her with his little eyes. Seeing that, Bai Li couldn't help laughing out loud.

"You're a show-off, you're pretty capable, right?"

The car was driving among the zombies, but the couple was still in the mood to tease a parrot. Bai Li's beautiful smile caught the eyes of a man holding binoculars in a 20-story building in the distance, and dazzled him.

He stared at Bai Li intently, seeing her chatting and laughing while calmly and confidently using two vines to entangle the zombies. Her movements were smooth and effortless, and the people who watched her felt excited.

A wood-type person actually has this ability?
He didn't put down the telescope, but said to the person next to him, "Ning An, it's also the Wood Element, look at that woman over there."

When the man named Ning An heard that he had met the same kind of zombies, he quickly picked up the telescope again and looked in the direction the man pointed. When he saw two flexible vines flying and rolling up one zombie after another, his eyes widened in surprise.

How did she do this?
He is also a Wood type, but so far he can do nothing more than make peonies bloom.

Even other flowers cannot be induced to bloom, only peonies can.

Don't ask him why, he doesn't know.

Brother Song said it might be because he likes to grow peonies, but he also likes to grow cacti, so why can’t cacti be induced to give birth?

Originally, he had already made up his mind about the wood element. This ability was useless. It couldn't do anything except give birth to a few pots of peonies for his eyes.

But now he suddenly realized that he had drawn the conclusion too early.

Why does this woman's wood style look so cool?
"No, Brother Song, I'll go ask her how she did it. Can you teach me?"

After Ning An finished speaking, he put down the telescope, turned around and ran out, but just as he ran out of the door, he turned back, picked up a pot of snow-white flowers on the table on the side, and ran downstairs.

Mu Song shouted helplessly, "Don't go alone, call A Le and the others."

He actually wanted to go with Ning An, but he was injured. Last night, when they brothers escaped from Pingcheng in the rain, in order to save a brother, his left arm was scratched by a black thing. Now the wound was burning severely, and he was not sure if he would be infected and turned into a zombie.

He had originally told his brothers to stay on the eighth floor, and he was alone on the tenth floor. If he was infected and turned into a zombie, he asked his brothers to give him a quick death and then burn him.

But Ning An insisted on staying with him, and even gave birth to a pot of white peony.

Is this the wreath prepared for him in advance?
Fortunately, I didn't kick this brother out.

Now, the wreath has been taken away by him.

Mu Song couldn't help but smile when he thought of this. He didn't know if this woman would answer his question when she saw the wreath, no, the peony, he sent.

Bai Li and Jiang Minglang gradually approached the bridge. They didn't know if it was because the group of black things just flew away, but now there were no zombies coming down from the bridge, and those that had already come down were killed by them along the way.

At this time, they found several people coming out of the tallest building on the west side. Four of them were chopping zombies skillfully with knives, while the person in the middle was holding a pot of flowers, a pot of lush white flowers.

"Luminous white?"

Bai Li looked at the pot of flowers and cried out in surprise.

"what?"

Jiang Minglang didn't know much about flowers, he just thought the white flowers were a bit annoying. Especially when a grown man was holding a pot of flowers in a pile of zombies, it was even more annoying.

Bai Li pointed to the white peony in the man's arms and explained, "He is holding a peony flower called Night-Glowing White, which usually blooms in winter."

After hearing this, Bai Li understood. This man was of the Wood type, or someone around him was of the Wood type, otherwise the flower would not have bloomed so beautifully.

But what she didn't expect was that the man holding the flowers actually wanted to give it to her.

Jiang Minglang's face darkened when he heard this. What the hell? Do we know you?

They came over to check the situation. The reason they waited for those people to come over was simply to ask what happened on Pingjiang Bridge last night?

Because judging from their appearance, they were either already staying in this building near the bridge, or had just crossed the bridge not long ago. In any case, they should know something about the situation over there.

　good night!
