The drifting city of the last days
Chapter 49 The Fourth Fragment
"What's there to discuss? One for Yunfan and one for Xia An." Lan Shan glanced at Zhang Junjiu disdainfully, squeezed a seat beside Wu Fei, and stretched indifferently. Petted the short-haired cat that used Wu Fei's knee as a special seat.Xia An and Shao Yunfan who were named were a little surprised.
"Then what do you do?" Wu Fei looked at Lan Shan and said that he had agreed to draw lots. Last time, Lan Shan gave it to him. It would be unfair to Lan Shan to give it up again this time.
Lan Shan smiled, and said kindly, "This is not the time to pursue fairness, but to maximize benefits. I'm already at level two, and adding another spiritual energy bead may not be able to upgrade to level three, so don't rush it for a while. But Xia An can use it to break through the second level and improve his ability. Shao Yunfan can also recover his combat power. This is the best allocation." If the team wants to exert the strongest combat power, it must avoid the short-board effect as much as possible.
Qi Liang nodded. Lan Shan had considered it maturely and thoughtfully. His proposal was indeed the most beneficial distribution plan for them at present.Xia An's flying ability is suitable for scouting and pathfinding and assistance, and his low aggressiveness is very useful for them to judge the navigation target at the moment.Repelling evil spirits can be as powerful as a mutant, and can also be used as a hidden game to strengthen everyone's security.Instead, I am afraid that I have become the only existence in this team without combat effectiveness.
"The next level-[-] spiritual energy bead will be given to you." Luo Zhen solemnly promised Lan Shan.
Lan Shan patted Luo Zhen on the shoulder, "Okay, next time I will be more polite."
"Actually, I'm thinking about one thing." Qi Liang looked at Zhang Junjiu, "You said before that Shao Yunfan's refined aura mutants would definitely be able to absorb it, so what about ordinary people?"
"Ordinary people can't be sure." Zhang Junjiu resumed his light smile, "Although it is the refined spiritual energy, but my master said that only people with Dao roots can absorb spiritual energy. People without Dao roots can get spiritual energy It's also in vain."
"Nonsense." Playing tricks!Lan Shan cast a sideways glance at Zhang Junjiu, what is Daogen?Has his root system grown?What era did he live in, and he still thought that he was a monk in Zhongnan Mountain all day long, and his mouth and mouth were all feng shui practicing yin and yang fish, so he didn't believe this.
Zhang Junjiu looked at Lan Shan full of doubts, his attitude towards everyone was as warm as a spring breeze, why did he change the autumn breeze when he came here?
Dogan?Qi Liang's eyes lit up. Is this as they guessed before, some people have bottles in their bodies, so they can receive spiritual energy, and some people don't have bottles in their bodies, so the stimulation will fail? "Assuming that the mutant's ability is activated because the bottle containing the spiritual energy in his body is filled, what will happen if Yunfan is asked to inject the spiritual energy into an ordinary person with a "bottle"?"
Luo Zhen raised his eyebrows, and was the first to react, "You mean, actively activate the ability?"
"Yes!" Qi Liang nodded, "If it is confirmed that there is a bottle in the body, in theory, it should be possible to stimulate the supernatural powers of ordinary people by actively injecting spiritual energy. Maybe we can try."
"Even if it is feasible to activate the ability actively, it is too risky for us now." Luo Zhen frowned, "First, we don't know how to determine whether there is a "bottle" in the body of an ordinary person. Second, at the beginning When the first batch of enhanced humans appeared, we deduced that ordinary people with "bottles" mutated successfully, and those without them would die. This shows that the danger is also very high, and it is very likely to endanger their lives. On the Queen of the Sea Now there are only two ordinary people, that is, you and Xiaobu. According to the probability, the possibility of the "bottle" in the two of you is at most 50.00%. It is a matter of life and death. It is not worth taking this risk to stimulate the supernatural power .”
Qi Liang blinked, "Yunfan is actually no worse than mutants now, so there is no need to take risks, I can try it alone. After all, I am the one who is not qualified to take a boat here."
Xia An raised his eyebrows and looked at him with anger, "Who said you are not qualified to take a boat?"
"You said it yourself, the Queen of the Sea only accepts 'mutants'." Qi Liang has always had a good memory.
Xia An: ……………
"It's too dangerous." Wu Fei pursed his lips in confusion, just like Luo Zhen said, it's not worth it.
"We are in danger every day, but most of these dangers are on your shoulders." Qi Liang looked at Wu Fei, "You and Xia An almost died just now, didn't they? I don't want to hide every time I encounter a situation." Be helpless in the back and be a burden."
Luo Zhen looked at him, "You are not a burden, and neither is anyone here. All of us can live to this day, and we might not be able to do it without any one of us."
"But……"
"If one day, you can be sure that you have that bottle in your body, then I will not stop you. Before that, absolutely not." Luo Zhen's attitude was extremely firm, and there was no room for negotiation.
Shao Yunfan nodded supportively, this time he stood 100% on the united front with Luo Zhen.
"Yes, at least make sure to try again." Otherwise, it is a sacrifice without objection.Wu Fei, Xia An and others also agreed.Qi Liang had no choice but to give up temporarily.
After Shao Yunfan absorbed the spiritual energy beads, Comrade Bixie "resurrected" with full blood, and squatted back on Shao Yunfan's shoulders alive and kicking, with a fierce face and a haughty look overlooking all living beings. Only when he turned to Shao Yunfan did he turn into intimacy.Seeing the short-haired cat snuggling on Wu Fei's lap and trying to rub Shao Yunfan's side cheek, Bi Xie was stunned. It lightly jumped off Shao Yun's shoulder and stood beside Wu Fei, with its front paws on Wu Fei's side. Fei's knee, stretched out his paw and carefully touched the ear of the short-haired cat.
The short-haired cat who was woken up seemed to have the aura of getting up, and very rudely gave the evil spirit a paw.Rolling around on the sofa like a water polo to ward off evil spirits, he glanced at the short-haired cat with aggrieved eyes, and finally rushed back to Shao Yunfan's shoulder.
Shao Yunfan & Luo Zhen: ……………
Only Shao Yunfan and Luo Zhen could see this scene in the entire leisure cabin, and they looked at each other in surprise, what's going on?That cat can also see evil spirits?Moreover, the evil spirit that was beaten didn't get angry, and just accepted it with humiliation?Too strange.
Xia An absorbed a spiritual energy bead and was promoted to level two smoothly.Compared to Wu Fei and the others, Xia An's upgrade process was much more peaceful.Except for a black feather rain on the deck of the yacht as if it had experienced a pillow fight, it was more troublesome to clean up, and basically had no effect.After the upgrade, Xia'an's wingspan basically remained the same, but its maximum flying speed was doubled, and its flight time was more than doubled. Therefore, the scope of the inspection area was easily expanded to more than four times the original.In addition, under the wing feathers on the surface of his body, a hard sheet-shaped "scale feather" has evolved to protect the body, which is extremely tough, and submachine gun bullets cannot penetrate within a distance of 50 meters.
Three days later, the cockpit of Haihou.
Luo Zhen took the helm, and Shao Yunfan was forced to sit in the cockpit as a humanoid radar to accompany the driver.
"Asleep?" Luo Zhen took a leisurely glance at Shao Yunfan whose eyelids were closed tighter than a short-haired cat.Outside the glass window, the golden tiger-striped shorthair cat was basking in the sun in its old position, looking like it was on a leisurely vacation in the Pacific Ocean.Bixie lay beside it, also soundly asleep.
"Didn't you ask me to look at the mutated animals around me? How can I see if I don't close my eyes?" Shao Yunfan opened his eyes and said as a matter of course.
"Have you ever been out at sea before?" Luo Zhen raised his eyebrows to change the subject, the weather was sunny, it was rare to go out on a date like this, wouldn't it be too wasteful to close your eyes all the time?
"The awards ceremony I participated in at the end of 14 was held on a cruise ship on the high seas. Wu Fei and I also won the best newcomer award that time." Shao Yunfan sighed, it was only a little over a month, and now he thinks back to the time when he was a star The situation is like the previous life.
"Christmas? Then there should be a follow-up party, right?" Luo Zhen asked calmly. The continuation of the awards ceremony must be full of beauties.
"Of course, by the way, the chef on that cruise ship is said to have been hired from a three-star Michelin restaurant with a high salary, and the food they cook is really good. Wu Fei ate a lot of lobster that time, but I really like the red wine stewed beef. Ah, If there is a chance, I really want to eat it again." Shao Yunfan curled his lips, lost in the memory of the delicious food, he knew that it was the last time he ate extravagantly in this life, and he would eat a few more pieces if he was too full.
"When I get back to land, I'll find someone to help you."
"Forget it, as long as I can eat the beef noodles made by Ms. Luo again, I will be satisfied. No, I can see them." Shao Yunfan sighed, as long as his parents are still safe, he would rather not eat meat for the rest of his life.
Just as Luo Zhen wanted to hug Shao Yunfan's shoulder, Xia An, who had disappeared all morning, flapped his huge black wings and landed in front of the windshield, with golden streamers flashing on the edges of the wing feathers.
"Luo Zhen, I found a fishing village at ten o'clock!" Xia An casually sat next to the short-haired cat, and tapped the glass with his index finger.
Luo Zhen frowned, it was really not the right time.
"Fishing village? You mean we are approaching the edge of the land?" Shao Yunfan looked at Xia An in surprise.
"No, it's just a fishing village." Xia An spread his hands, "Or should I say, is it a fragment of another piece of land?"
"You mean, it's a piece of land floating in the sea like City S? It's not an island?" Luo Zhen's brows frowned even deeper.
"Yes, there is only one village. There are about two or three hundred people. If you drive at your current speed, you can probably see that village around four o'clock in the afternoon." Xia An rubbed his chin, looking fascinated.
"Do you want to go?" Luo Zhen looked at Xia An, and he knew from his appearance that he must have been a pampered rich second generation in the past. What is there for him to yearn for in a fishing village.
"They seem to be doing well. They look like a paradise. Maybe we can get some information from them."
"Okay, listen to you, go and have a look." Luo Zhen was a little surprised that Xia An would use the word "paradise".After the tsunami, most of the people they met had extremely difficult lives. In a paradise, does it mean that the people in that village are still adapting well in the apocalypse?
It was a little later than Xia An expected, at five o'clock in the afternoon, they saw the fishing village.
The entire village floats on the water like an island. Except for a few of the edges that are submerged in seawater, several two-storey houses are intact and have not been damaged by floods at all.Cooking smoke is curling up, green fishing nets are drying on the racks set up by the water, and several fishing boats are moored on the shore.There is also a local dog chasing the reed chicken and galloping on the beach. The well-fed yellow-brown hen flapped its short wings and flew more than one meter high with difficulty, almost being forced to "drop into the sea." commit suicide".
"Brother, I smell the aroma of rice and chicken!" Wu Fei patted Shao Yunfan's shoulder excitedly. He hadn't eaten rice for fifty days!
"Someone is coming." Lan Shan pointed to the side.
More than a dozen fishing boats rushed over from all directions, surrounding the Haihou in the middle.
"Then what do you do?" Wu Fei looked at Lan Shan and said that he had agreed to draw lots. Last time, Lan Shan gave it to him. It would be unfair to Lan Shan to give it up again this time.
Lan Shan smiled, and said kindly, "This is not the time to pursue fairness, but to maximize benefits.
