Doomsday Proud Blood[Sword Three]

After walking through the continuous ground cracks outside Crane City, I finally saw a relatively complete road.

Zhuang Zixuan tapped his fingers on the car window, still thinking about that peculiar cloak: "You said... would that be a new achievement of the research institute?"

"If there is such a cloak, does Zhao Lening need to fly around the world to deliver new materials?" Zhong Ze said, looking up at the rearview mirror.

In the rearview mirror, one could see a corner of the carriage, where Chu He was nestling in the kotatsu with earphones and playing with his mobile phone.

He retracted his gaze: "Let's not talk about it."

"Why don't you say it." Zhuang Zixuan turned his head and looked at him seriously, "You can speak up if you have any ideas. Don't forget, Brother Guan asked us to help his brother, not to monitor him."

"Even if Qin Lou hides a lot of things that are beneficial to human survival?"

"Yes." Zhuang Zixuan said firmly, "We are the assistants Guan Ge gave him."

He bit the accent on the word "Guan Ge", and Zhong Ze looked at him for a long time: "I don't agree." He said, and then looked away.

Zhuang Zixuan wanted to say more, but the intercom rang suddenly: "There is a canal in Crane City, which runs through the entire city. That canal is connected to a branch of the Lu River. We can follow the waterway all the way to the next city."

"is it safe?"

"I checked the latest satellite images before I went out. After several earthquakes, many parts of Crane City are likely to collapse, causing the road to break. But there is no impact on the river."

Zhuang Zixuan stared at Zhong Ze, seeing Zhong Ze nodded, he said: "Listen to you."

The caravan given by the safety zone is an amphibious vehicle.Auxiliary steering tools are added to the front wheels of the car, four pairs of floating air cushions are set on both sides, and there are multiple hidden propellers at the rear of the car.The intelligent operation mode in the car can transform into a boat with one button.

When they abandoned the car and entered the water, Lu Youyuan watched curiously for a long time.If it weren't for the cold weather, he would really like to go out and see how the car works.

Ji Xiuming rubbed his hands and took him out of the cab: "If you want to see it, I'll let you see it when you get to your destination. By the way, Brother Zhong, you can just set the car in automatic mode and let the car float downstream. Let's take a rest first." Bar."

"The river hasn't been frozen so far. There must be something in the water. It's not safe not to stare at it." Zhong Ze observed the front carefully without looking back.

"We added a lot of things around the car body for vigilance, let's take a rest." Ji Xiuming advised, "Or get up and have a meal, and change people to watch."

Zhong Ze hesitated for a while, then stood up.As soon as he entered the carriage, he saw the black cloak Qian Dongnan was wearing was hanging on the door of the lounge.In order to save electricity, they did not turn on the heater during the day, but now the temperature in the car has risen significantly.

He walked a few steps and observed carefully. The cloak should be a cloak, and there were holes everywhere from the fire.The metal decoration on it is extremely delicately carved, and from time to time sparks float out from all over the cloak.

"Xiaolou, brother can't hide things in his heart." Zhong Ze looked at it for a long time, and then suddenly spoke.Yuan Pengpeng wanted to pull him immediately when he heard the words, but Zhuang Zixuan grabbed him instead.

Zhuang Zixuan shook his head slightly at Yuan Pengpeng, telling him not to interfere.

Qin Lou, who was named, was in the kitchen at this time.The interior space of the carriage is not large, and the kitchen is also on the first floor, adjacent to the water storage room.So as soon as Zhong Ze opened his mouth, he heard: "Brother Zhong, tell me."

Zhong Ze was not polite to him, and went straight to the point: "What's the matter with your cloak?"

"Oh, that." Qin Lou's voice seemed to be laughing, "It was made by the children at home."

Children at home?

Before Zhong Ze could turn the corner, Qin Lou said again: "In the car, Yuanyuan kept thinking about how to make everyone warmer. He has fire abilities, and now he can control the flames and burn all night without any combustion aids." I did. I tried all kinds of unwearable clothes stored in the space before.”

"I've been trying for a while, and burned a lot, only to make a mistake. Fortunately, it didn't burn out."

His attitude was very natural, as if he was telling an interesting story.Zhong Ze turned his attention to Lu Youyuan suspiciously.Lu Youyuan looked at him and nodded, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "My ability may be more destructive, and I still can't do such delicate things."

After he finished speaking, his smile suddenly changed, and he said again and again: "But the clothes I used for the experiment were all broken before, and I can't wear them anymore. I didn't move any of the clothes I could wear!"

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhong Ze said quickly, "You can do whatever you want with your things. It's just that you said that those fires are under your control, can you increase or decrease them?"

"Yes." Lu Youyuan said.

As soon as the words fell, the fire on the cloak instantly increased.Zhong Ze noticed that at that moment the burnt edges of the cloak turned red.The fire was only for a moment, and it retracted almost in the blink of an eye.

"But the reduction is... this is the minimum amount I can maintain." Lu Youyuan said seriously, "No matter how small I am, I'm afraid it will be extinguished...it would be a pity if it was extinguished."

Zhong Ze nodded thoughtfully: "Sorry, I doubted you."

"It's okay, Brother Zhong's duty is."

After getting into the water, it is much easier for a group of people than nestling in the car.After eating and taking a nap, they went up to the second floor in groups and started doing push-ups.Houseboats floated down the water, and occasionally there was thin ice on the river, which would be smashed by the hull of the boat.The intelligent system will correct the deviation of the hull, and it will go all the way through the ice and waves without command.

Ji Xiuming's dodders were all over the bottom of the boat. They were like harmless ribbons floating in the water.The animals in the water sensed the huge ship and avoided it from a distance.

After drifting like this for a few days, they left Crane City and landed in the nearby Shangdu.

Shangdu is one of the most important foreign cities in the entire southern border, and it is the transportation hub of the southern border.It has the most developed rail transit in the entire southern region.

The houseboat turned back into a caravan again, and the nine people huddled in the car to study the satellite images: "Earthquakes are too frequent, and walking along the rails is a great hidden danger. These places have been confirmed to be broken. They are the only way we must pass. .”

"But if we go by road, we have to go around a lot." Li Qiao said, "Don't forget what the city is most famous for. Apart from the regular zoo, there is also an ostrich amusement park, a The big cat playground is all zoos in the city. Before the catastrophe, there was one of the largest aquariums in the country that was about to open for business. It may be difficult for us to go through the city."

"Are there polar animals?"

"Not too many." Qin Lou called up the information, "Outside the third ring road in the city, there is an extremely cold area. It advertises that there are many kinds of penguins, several polar bears and several species of arctic foxes."

"..."

"What's the situation in Shangdu?" Yuan Pengpeng smacked his lips, "This time happens to be the estrus period of arctic foxes. If they are still alive, they should be very active. And the pregnancy time of arctic foxes is only two months, and each litter will give birth. A dozen little foxes. When we come back in a few months, Shangdu may have become a fox den."

"If you pass through the urban area, can Brother Yuan clear the way?"

"To be honest, it's probably a bit difficult." Yuan Pengpeng said, "The animals that can survive this season are more or less mutated. It has been snowing for days and there is a lack of food. They will be very aggressive."

"Food..." Qin Lou pondered for a moment, "Doesn't zombies count?"

This was said so lightly that Yuan Pengpeng was stunned before he said: "Theoretically speaking, some animals eat scavenging, but..."

Qin Lou nodded when he heard the words: "Forget it, the risk is too great. Let's walk around the city."

***

The ring road in Shangdu was not destroyed by the earthquake.However, after the catastrophe, the plants with exceptional viability, coupled with the extreme climate, forcibly turned this road into a dirt road.

Chu He drove carefully, and did not completely detour out of Shangdu until dark, and arrived at a nearby ecological agricultural park.

Near the agricultural park is the first hub outside Shangdu. The expressway is built like a Chinese knot, and people who are not familiar with the road can easily go wrong.Chu He walked around it for a long time before coming down.

"Let's rest here today." Qin Lou said, "The weather is too cold, the plants in the ecological garden should not be so mentally disturbed. There are some factories outside, Ah He, you can take Yuanyuan to see nearby Look, if there are still active zombies, they will be cleaned up first."

It was almost dark.Lu Youyuan returned to the RV, took off the Ye Huo Jie hanging on the lounge door, wrapped Chu He with himself, and let Chu He fly out with him.

It wasn't until they were far away that the two exchanged, with Lu Youyuan leading Chu Hefei.Tiance quickly swept around the area, and the overwhelming snow swept away almost all the zombies.Occasionally, a small animal that went out to hunt was caught in the field of vision, and it quickly slipped away before they got close.

When the sky completely darkened, the two followed the headlights back to the car.Qian Dongnan had already set up half an eggshell, and when he saw them coming back, he immediately sealed the window.

"There is basically nothing outside. There are some zombie corpses in the snow, and the flesh has been frozen off." Lu Youyuan said, "There are some small animals that may have escaped from Shangdu. They are all white. Look at them. Unclear species."

Qin Lou covered his ears while listening.After the cold earlobes slowly warmed in the palm of his hand, he held Lu Youyuan's face in both hands, and said with a smile: "Thanks for your hard work."

Lu Youyuan wrinkled his nose at him with a smile, and was about to speak when Li Qiao knocked on the wheelchair next to him: "You two take it easy. Xiaolu, come and see, do these two dead trees look like antlers?"

Next to him were two dead trees taller than the RV.The leaves are all gone, leaving only bare branches.Li Qiao was winding iron wires on those branches, and was going to rest and dry some clothes at night.

Lu Youyuan stared at the two trees, the more he looked at them, the more weird he felt.The two trees are symmetrical in mirror image, even the curved arc is the same: "Have you...have you tried it? Are these two trees?"

"At least it's not alive." Li Qiao said, "I broke off a piece, and there was no response. Deer, throw a ball of fire down."

Lu Youyuan was a little hesitant, but Li Qiao urged him a few more times before he threw a ball of fire a little far away from the dead tree.

"It's too far, my brother." Li Qiao shouted, "Closer, closer. Use it to bake clothes..."

"Wow—"

"What's going on? Is there an earthquake!"

The whole ground trembled violently, the soil wall formed by the supernatural powers crashed and clods fell, two dead trees fell towards Li Qiao at an extremely slow speed, and the RV parked in place began to slide back uncontrollably go.

Lu Youyuan quickly grabbed Li Qiao, and at the same time threw the RV back into the space.

At this moment, there was a loud, sharp and long howl from outside.

The voice was sharp and hoarse, like a cow or a screaming horse, which made everyone's ears numb.

With the scream, the ground under his feet trembled violently.A group of people didn't notice for a moment, and immediately fell to the ground.

This cry gave Yuan Pengpeng feedback. He supported the wall that was still collapsing, and shouted: "Little deer! Put out the fire! This is a deer, a living mutant deer! We just stopped at him body!"

Lu Youyuan was startled, the scorching flame dissipated instantly.Qin Lou jumped to the edge of the fire in a few steps, and saw deep black traces under the melted snow.Golden energy instantly covered it: "Brother Yuan! Can you try to communicate with it!"

"I am currently!"

This invisible elk seemed to resist the uninvited guests very much. It ran vigorously, and the power wall collapsed at an extremely fast speed.Afraid of angering this behemoth, Qian Dongnan didn't dare to use his abilities to maintain it.Gradually, there was a fierce cold wind pouring in.

"Pengpeng, aren't you alright!" Zhuang Zixuan lay on the ground, his hands firmly grasping the coat under the snow.

"Soon! It should be soon! Don't worry!"

Qin Lou covered everyone with a magic ball, and whenever the cold froze a place, the magic power quickly repaired it.But this is by no means a long-term solution.

The cold and strong wind will take away the body temperature. Even if they wear professional cold-proof down jackets, they will gradually enter a state of hypothermia after staying in such an environment for too long.

"Brother Yuan, if we really can't communicate, let's jump down!"

The earth wall had almost collapsed. This mutant elk was extremely huge. Under the three-meter-high antlers was a huge body more than ten meters high.

Qin Lou focused all his powers on his eyes, and carefully observed his height and running speed: "It's almost 12 meters, the body of a person with supernatural powers can bear it! Ah He, bring some plums with you when the time comes!"

"Give me a few more minutes!" Yuan Pengpeng didn't want to give up, "This deer has mutated very purely, and it's very gentle! It's just that the fire burned it, so it's not happy!"

As he yelled, he patted the moose on the back in a certain rhythm.After a few minutes, the deer really stopped gradually.

The group breathed a sigh of relief, Yuan Pengpeng got up from the ground in a hurry, ran to the elk's neck in a few steps, and danced and communicated with the quiet big animal.

Qin Lou wrapped himself and Lu Youyuan in a scarf, only showing a pair of eyes to Lu Youyuan: "This big guy with the same surname as you is really not easy to mess with."

Lu Youyuan huddled in his arms, grabbed his hand and kicked it into his pocket: "Brother Yuan, can you handle it?"

"It should be possible." Qin Lou said in a low voice, "If it doesn't work, I'll use my abilities to bribe it."

Zhong Ze and Zhuang Zixuan followed Yuan Pengpeng. Seeing Qin Lou holding Lu Youyuan in his arms again, Zhong Ze held back for a long time, and asked Zhuang Zixuan in a low voice: "What is the difference between Brother Guan and his brother with the fire ability named Xiaolu?" Or, is it too sticky?"

"No?" Zhuang Zixuan didn't know why, "The young lovers have already restrained themselves."

"???" Zhong Ze asked with question marks all over his head, "Little couple? Are they related? Does Brother Guan know?"

Zhuang Zixuan was also dumbfounded: "Could it be possible that Brother Guan doesn't know?"

Qin Guan, who knew everything and silently wiped his younger brother's butt, was muttering in the safe zone: "I don't know where they went."

"I can't die anyway." Jin An held the saber, and Diao Erlang knocked on the door with the hilt of the sword, "Wei Guang is urging you, hurry up."

"Let them wait." Qin Guan didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, "Did I tell you what happened?"

Jin Anwo thought lazily by the door for a long time before saying, "I've said it. The first batch of serum is entering the experimental stage. Please go and watch."
