North Journey

Lin Xi couldn't help but hugged him before he approached, maybe because the two were once one, she always couldn't resist the temptation to be skin-to-skin with the baby.

Shi Yan didn't refuse her hug, it was because he knew it from birth that he knew better how much this woman who should be called "mother" had paid for him.Subconsciously, he doesn't value blood relationship, but he can't help but reciprocate the kindness of others.When his soul and body were still mutually exclusive, he felt Lin Xi's adventures again and again for his health.

The innate power of fourth-order mutants does not mean safety, and the high-risk weapons mastered by humans still pose a threat to advanced mutants.And the other two beings who are also fourth-order mutants have never had the kindness to tolerate their own kind wantonly invading their territory.What's more, strength is never something that can determine everything. If Lin Xi didn't have a nearly immortal body, Lin Xi might not be able to grow into a qualified king alive.

Lin Xi didn't know what kind of wisdom and strength her child had. In her heart, His Majesty was always a baby who needed her protection and love.

She hugged him and sat on the stone bench under the wisteria flower porch, embracing him empty-handedly with one hand, and picked out a crystal nucleus of emerald green from the gold-plated porcelain plate with the other.

"Baby, come and have a taste of this wood-type crystal nucleus. It should be that kind of fragrant wormwood. You will like it."

She rubbed Shiqi's rosy cheeks with a bit of baby fat with her cheeks.

Shi Yan stretched out his hand to take the crystal nucleus, but Lin Xi avoided it.

"Baby, let mother feed you, okay?"

Lin Xi, who was always expressionless in front of other third-order supernatural beings, opened her pair of pitch-black bright eyes and looked at Shi Yan pitifully. Mouth.

As a result, Lin Xi was in high spirits as if he had received some huge reward. After feeding him a crystal nucleus, he couldn't help but hugged his face and kissed him on the forehead.

The emerald green crystal nucleus turned into a cool liquid, which really smelled like wormwood... Shi Yan's eyes couldn't help but brighten a little.His taste has always been light, but the supernatural beings harvested by the zombies are often those fire-type supernatural beings who rush to the forefront because of their powerful attack power. It suits his taste.

Lin Xi noticed Shi Yan's eyes, and secretly decided to ask Aiwen and the others to pay more attention to whether there are wood-type supernatural beings who are partial to healing. If it is really not possible, she should also find a chance to sneak into the safe zone of human beings.After all, although the number of wood-type power users is not small, except for the offensive wood-type power users, whether it is a growth-type wood-type power user who can stimulate crops or heal wounds with the help of nature, there is no need Wood-type healers who overdraw the vitality of the injured seldom appear on the battlefield to fight against zombies head-on.

While thinking this way, Lin Xi began to pick and choose that pot of crystal nucleus that could make many third-order mutants salivate, and also draw enough human hatred.

Well, babies like to eat good-looking food.This crystal nucleus is missing a corner, why didn't I notice it when I cleaned it before?This water system should be the light taste that babies like to eat, think about it, oh, it should have a little mint taste, it is the best to eat in this weather...

The mutated wisteria tree blocked most of the sunlight for the mother and son who were enjoying afternoon tea together, leaving only wisps of light shining on the two through the gaps in the branches and leaves.Condensing the dangerous toxins, strings of huge wisteria flower spikes hang down from the branches, purple with blue, as bright as clouds, making this place as quiet and beautiful as before the end of the world.

"City Master, the team that went to City A to investigate 10 days ago...the whole army was wiped out..."

A person rushed into the empty conference hall and saw the most familiar and respected city lord of the eighth security area standing in front of the huge map. good news.

When Mu Shuoyang heard the news, his already tightly knit brows frowned even deeper. Looking at the three huge red zones and the few remaining blue safe zones on the map, his heart became increasingly heavy. worry.

The disadvantages of humans against zombies are too great.

Although zombies are not real undead, as long as they get a headshot, they will die completely, but the contagiousness of zombies will only make the number of human beings less and less, and the number of zombies will increase, not to mention...

He waved his hand, motioning the man to step back.Then he stood quietly in front of the map for a while, and used a black marker to mark three points in the red area.

"……elder brother."

When Mu Weishuang hurried over after hearing the latest news, she saw the figure of her elder brother who had always been strong and seemed to be invulnerable to anything.

Her eye sockets were slightly red, but the original question could not be asked.

Yang Yi stood beside her, holding her tightly with his arms, as if comforting his lover silently.

"Second Uncle is gone."

From the moment he received the news, Mu Shuoyang knew that Shuang'er would definitely come to him.

He turned his back to the two of them, making it difficult to see his expression clearly, and it is not known whether his eyes were red, but from his tone, it seems that there is no wavering or sadness.But Mu Weishuang knew who her elder brother was, and she knew that this elder brother could almost be said to have brought her up single-handedly.

Unable to restrain herself any longer, Mu Weishuang rushed towards her, crying bitterly the moment Mu Shuoyang hugged her.

As a rare wood healer, Mu Kang—their second uncle—would not have to take part in such dangerous missions, but there are not many healers with supernatural powers. If the second uncle didn't go, the team would It is necessary to face the situation that there is no therapist to follow.For a team that was going to perform S-level missions, such a casualty rate was too high, so the second uncle insisted on going together.

However, no one expected that they would encounter the hunting lord of City A.

Zombies of the same level three, without pain and infinite strength, have an overwhelming advantage over those with supernatural powers who dare not even dare to get hurt.What's more, the zombies in the entire city A will act together with their city lord.

Yang Yi stood aside, looking at Mu Shuoyang who was silently comforting his younger sister, his lips twitched a bit, but in the end he could only say "sorry".

——Since the disaster broke out, they have lost too many relatives, so many that all comfort seems powerless.

Mu Weishuang also understood this truth, so in just a few minutes, she had already calmed down her mood.

Embarrassedly smoothing Mu Shuoyang's crumpled shirt again due to her actions just now, Mu Weishuang wiped away the tears on her face with her hands, and seemed to have returned to the sharp and fierce woman holding a rose whip. woman.

"Shuang'er, go and see Lin'er first."

Seeing that Mu Weishuang had calmed down, Mu Shuoyang breathed a sigh of relief, and then said calmly as if nothing had happened.

Hearing Mu Shuoyang's words, Mu Weishuang remembered that compared to herself, Xiao Lin'er, who had lost her grandfather after losing her parents, was the one who most needed the company of her relatives at this time.She shook hands with Yang Yi silently, and then ran towards the house in the safe area while trying to take care of herself to make herself look happier.

Yang Yi stayed, Mu Shuoyang sighed when he saw his persistence, and finally sat down with him.

"I'm going to City Z."

When Yang Yi opened his mouth, there was undeniable tenacity and will in his dark eyes.

"Are you sure?"

"My ability level has reached the peak of Tier [-]."

A pale flame danced on Yang Yi's finger, and as the flame rose, the surrounding space seemed to be distorted.

"But we haven't got any information about the strength or abilities of the fourth-order zombie in City Z so far, and if our news is correct, the ruler of City Z should be the first fourth-order zombie to appear. Even if you have four The strength of the peak level may not be able to retreat completely."

"But we can't wait any longer. The longer it takes, the worse it will be for us, especially if Dr. Wei's research results are correct."

Mu Shuoyang's eyes darkened, there was nothing wrong with it, if Wei Yu's research results were correct, then they couldn't wait any longer.

A human being directly infected by a fourth-order zombie is very likely to transform into a third-order zombie, and once a fifth-order zombie appears in the world, the chance of such transformation can become [-]%.

Not to mention how much this will mean that the combat power of zombies will increase, but the sayings about "undead" and "evolution" that have been faintly circulated among human beings after the existence of third- and fourth-order zombies are discovered are enough to make people It is doubtful how many ordinary people will be shaken once this kind of news spreads.

Preserving one's own consciousness and past memories, possessing an immortal body and powerful strength, and possibly even awakening abilities, this is really a huge challenge for ordinary people who often feel that they are inferior to those with abilities in today's current situation. Even those with supernatural powers may be swayed by the temptation. After all, immortality has always been the pursuit of countless people.

"I will contact the city lords of the third, ninth, and seventeenth safe areas, and try to get them to send out fourth-level supernatural beings. When the time comes, you will take Shuang'er and Wei Yu with them."

"Big brother?"

Yang Yi discussed with Mu Shuoyang privately, hoping that he would find an excuse to keep Shuang'er, but he never expected that his brother-in-law, who has always been a fan of his sisters, would make such a decision.

"You also know Shuang'er's character. Instead of letting her sneak out, why don't you take her with you?"

Mu Shuoyang pulled the corner of his mouth reluctantly, so why did he want Shuang'er to go.If it wasn't for the fact that his superpowers didn't have any fighting power, following him would be just a burden, and if he didn't know his sister's feelings for Yang Yi, how could he have made such a decision?

"If you come back safely, I will officiate the wedding ceremony for you and Shuang'er. Even if the conditions in the last days are poor, my sister Mu Shuoyang can't always be by your side so vaguely."

The author has something to say:

When writing this chapter, I have been thinking about the wormwood fragrant rice cake I ate at Qifang Pavilion by the Qinhuai River last time. Is it really a foodie?Obviously the essence is a very bloody thing, but I always wonder what the taste of crystal nuclei with different abilities should be_(:зゝ∠)_
