There was an eerie silence in the car.

Although there seemed to be no difference in the outcome whether she died in battle or died of old age, for a person like Yi Shicui who was born to love beauty, the impact of the latter was too great for her to accept, so she had the idea of ​​​​going back. .

Yueqiu advised her, "You're going to die anyway, why do you care so much? Besides, by then, everyone will really be old acquaintances, and no one will care what you look like, don't worry."

His intentions were good, but he never expected the opposite effect.

"Go away," Yi Shicui looked down upon him, "Either you shut up, or you go back and don't bother me here."

Thinking that there was Amelia Su behind him, Yueqiu immediately shut up.

The original ten-minute break has ended, and Team 6 should set off immediately, but because of Nancy's words, everyone is now unwilling to move forward, and they can't come up with a better way, so they can only stay in a stalemate here.

"Wouldn't it be better if we just avoid the zombies?"

Yu Si suggested, "As long as we reduce the time we use our powers, we won't age quickly. Then maybe we still have a chance to go back."

"How to avoid it?" Yi Shicui said that he could talk while standing without pain in his back. "Didn't you see what happened before? Those zombies are clearly coming for us. Can we avoid them if we want to?"

Yu Si was not angry because of her attitude. After looking at Wu Lexin, he raised his arm with a bracelet.

"Maybe we can try and let it re-plan our route."

In Yu Si's understanding, Nancy, who controls the bracelet, has a more powerful "precognition ability" than them. If the other party is connected to the satellite, they can directly view the distribution of zombies from a God's perspective, and then plan the route accordingly. Can you successfully avoid encounters with zombies?

It was this inexplicable trust that made Yu Si propose that they could trust Nancy with their life and death, which even sounded ridiculous to Yueqiu.

The depressed Yi Shicui was in no mood to care about the so-called route forward. She was surrounded by huge fear and uneasiness, and her whole expression became dazed.

So among the three remaining people in the car, Yu Si and Wu Lexin must have stood together and held the opposite opinion to Yue Qiu.

Really not wanting to offend Yi Shicui, Yueqiu gritted his teeth and said, "I'll ask the person behind me for her opinion. If she agrees, I'll do as you say."

But before he got out of the car, he heard Su Yu's voice from behind.

"I can do it, it's up to you."

Yueqiu's movement to stand up paused. After a moment, he compromised and said, "...Okay."

[The route has been re-planned, please start again. It is estimated that there are ten minutes left in the journey. ]

"It's ten minutes again," Yueqiu rubbed his back molars, "You won't lie to us again this time, right?"

The mechanical female voice, which has no emotion, seems to be mocking.

[You are free to choose to believe it or not. ]

Losing his temper, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go."

Yueqiu's originally majestic and high-spirited team had only been filled with deathly silence in the car. Only a few hours had passed, but to a few people in the team, it felt like decades had passed.

Especially Yi Shicui, seeing the wrinkles on her face made her want to die.

She originally wanted to be a hero and save her glorious moments at her best age, but she never expected that something like "the late emperor collapsed before he started his business" would happen to her.

What a nightmare.

This was a bigger blow to her than the zombies gaining superpowers. In fact, Yueqiu can also understand Yi Shicui's mood. After all, he may not have expected that the superpower he was originally proud of would turn into their life-saving talisman. Seeing that he has aged almost ten years before his eyes, his mentality will be changed by anyone. Got to collapse.

I just don’t know what Amelia Su will look like when she is ten years old?

Maybe when she gets old and her hands shake and her eyes become dim, she won't be able to hold the gun, and she won't be able to threaten him over the hill.

"..."

Yueqiu looked out the window and sighed deeply. Sure enough, people tend to have random thoughts when they are vulnerable. Even he was not surprised that such stupid ideas would pop up in his mind.

According to the route Nancy re-planned for them, there were very few zombies surrounding them along the way. Yu Si and Wu Lexin shared their joy.

It can be said that the two of them have the most relaxed and peaceful mentality among the sixth team.

Even though zombies or superpowers gave them a big blow, they were relieved after discovering that these zombies' superpowers were not as strong as theirs.

"Oh," Yu Siguo sat up straight and looked straight ahead, "There is something in front of us. If nothing else happens, it will be our destination this time."

After hearing this, Yueqiu and Yi Shicui no longer felt sad, and both looked in the direction pointed by Yu Si. Directly in front of the pickup truck, I saw a towering tree rising from the ground, its green branches and leaves looking out of place in the desert.

Yu Si held down his bracelet and said, "According to what Mr. Chang Pengyi and the others said, you only need to infuse the source tree with supernatural power and wait for it to wither naturally."

Yes, this is the fundamental reason why Yi Shicui decided to quit after learning that using supernatural powers would consume his life.

The reason why a sufficient number of fifth-level superpowers are summoned is to infuse the source tree with superpowers in a saturated manner. Only in this way can we ensure that after obtaining sufficient nutrients, the source tree will follow the natural growth process until it withers.

Otherwise, the source tree will remain in its current state for a long time, breeding and spreading "viruses", and then attracting zombies to this place to complete the transformation from zombies to new species.

There is no way to prove the origin of the Origin Tree. Chang Pengyi and others, with the help of Nancy, spent countless manpower and material resources to learn about its existence and mode of operation.

Its root system is connected to the earth, and the virus that turns people into zombies spreads from there, and then lurks in the human body. When the time is right, it will attack collectively.

This also means that this virus exists among all people and zombies.

As for the crystal core, this is the condensation of the virus.

Therefore, after entering the place of origin, any person with superpowers who has used crystal nuclei will gradually have their consciousness and body eroded by the virus, and eventually lose their unique human thinking and wisdom, become zombies, and then become enemies of others.

Nancy had also made speculations about the so-called supernatural powers.

All things seek balance. Since a substance like a virus is born, there must be an "antidote" for it. Viruses and antidotes both come from the source tree, which can also be compared to the seeds produced by the source tree. The source tree consumes its own energy, pours it into these two types of seeds, and then spreads along the root system.

Therefore, everyone has the possibility of transforming into a zombie or a person with special powers.

To put it more ugly, there is actually no difference between zombies and superpowers, because as long as enough time is given, the two will eventually merge into each other and become independent of each other.

After the fusion, a new species was born.

Nancy calls it the child of Yuanshu.
