I take skeletons to the apocalypse

It was confirmed that one of the people swallowed by the sea slug had died, and the death was miserable, and the expressions of the people present were a little bit depressed.

But no one stayed, they just silently accelerated their pace towards the shelter.

The location of the shelter in Tianming City is in the central square of the city.

While controlling the skeleton to clean up the sea slugs encountered along the way, Xia Xi asked Chaomo: "How far is it?"

"Two kilometers." Chaomo pointed to a tall tower not far ahead: "This tower is the TV tower of Tianming City, and it is also the symbol of the central square."

Xia Xi raised her head and looked at the eye-catching tower not far away: "This place is easy to find."

"At that time, Sister Hua chose this place to build a refuge because it was more convenient to gather people together. Oh, Sister Hua is the person in charge of the refuge in Tianming City." When Chaomo mentioned this person, his eyes showed admiration and admiration.

"Sister Hua used to be a high-ranking member of the city bureau. When the apocalypse began, she organized the masses to take refuge in the central square. Thanks to her, nearly one-third of the city's population survived after the apocalypse. This is simply a miracle."

"That's really powerful." Xia Xi said sincerely, and then asked: "Is she also a reborn?"

"She's not." Chao Mo felt a little regretful when he said this: "If she is a reborn person, she will definitely be able to save more people."

"Of course, it's possible that none of them will be saved." After finishing speaking, Chao Mo laughed at himself, thinking of the City of Chasing Light in his previous life.At that time, he also wanted to build the best shelter with such complacency, and wanted to do his best to save more people, but what happened?

The lessons of Zhuguang City made him give up his idea of ​​building a shelter, but the survival of Tianming City's shelter became Chao Moxin's sustenance.

Sister Hua has adopted many suggestions from Chaomo, so there are actually many shadows of Chasing Light City from the operation mode to the management style.

Unlike other places, the refuge in Tianming City is not completely enclosed, but a large area has been marked out, and partitions, management areas, training areas, trade areas, accommodation areas, factories, farmland, etc. have been set up inside. Hospitals, schools, etc., are readily available.Every location is patrolled and protected by supernatural beings.

They used the training methods shared by Chaomo and the weapons they sold to quickly increase their strength, and quickly cleaned up the mutant creatures in the nearby area.

All parts of the shelter have also done a good security system.They also got the formula and produced some medicines against insects and plant-like mutated organisms, so that ordinary people can also defend themselves.

In addition, they have also built many emergency shelters underground. If you encounter danger, you can hide in them. Each shelter has at least ten people's daily food and water. And basic medicine bandages and more.If the disaster of sea slugs hadn't come too suddenly, and if it took a little longer, there should be many more people who could survive.

The sea breeze passed through the street, bringing a fishy and salty smell, and the wind made Shahi's cloak rattle.

Xia Xi asked Chaomo: "Why did you choose to build a base in this place? Is it because of the refuge in Tianming City?"

Chao Mo shook his head: "At that time, I chose this place mainly because it was located on the edge of the mainland, and the terrain was remote. It was hardly noticed by any forces in the last life. As for the refuge in Tianming City, it was a windfall."

Gu Ming poked his head and interjected: "Sister Hua met the captain is a windfall. The experience and skills are given away for free. The captain doesn't build Zhuguang City himself, but gives all his experience and hard work to others."

Chao Mo flicked Gu Ming's forehead: "Don't say that, we are in a mutually beneficial relationship. Sister Hua's character is trustworthy. With her help to cover, our base is safer here. Besides, if there is no With the basic materials provided by Sister Hua, our base cannot be developed in such a short period of time."

"Have you not been noticed by any force in your previous life?" Xia Xi thought about this sentence.Even without Chaomo's help, with the ability of that sister Hua that Chaomo talked about, this refuge should be able to operate well. Even if the terrain is a bit remote, it will always be noticed when it is large, unless...

Jing Lan, who had been following Xia Xi all this time, opened his mouth and filled in his guess: "That's right, in the timeline of the previous life, this refuge should not have persisted for too long before it was completely destroyed, maybe it was because This time the plague of sea slugs."

Hearing Jing Lan's voice, Xia Xi remembered the embarrassing situation last night, and looked at Jing Lan vigilantly through the mask.

Jing Lan, who was about to continue talking about "naturally" and approaching Xia Xi, paused. In order to prove to Xia Xi that she was harmless, she slowed down again, and the distance between the two opened again.

Although they were far away, Xia Xi didn't feel relaxed at all. He felt that Jing Lan's approach yesterday was like breaking the glass window agreed between the two.Although he was still standing outside, there was no longer any barrier between the two of them.

After walking not far, Chao Mo and his party ran into the rescue team of supernatural beings in the city.There were more than 50 people in a row, trotting all the way, holding some flammable newspapers, wood, and fuel such as alcohol and gasoline.This team is basically all supernatural beings. Although the level is not high, most of them are only first-level and second-level, but they have mastered the weakness of sea slugs, and with proper cooperation, they are very efficient in cleaning up sea slugs on the street.

The person in charge of the command is an uncle in his 50s. I heard that he was an engineer before the end of the world. Everyone he knows calls him Sun Gong.

As soon as Sun Gong saw Chaomo, he greeted him familiarly and handed him a cigarette.There is no place to buy it in the end of the world, and it has become a rare item. Sun Gong is reluctant to smoke one every day, and often takes it out to smell and satisfy his greed, and then puts it back in the box. .

Chao Mo knew that this was the uncle's way of expressing his goodwill, thanked him, and waved his hand again: "Sun Gong, put it away quickly, I really don't smoke."

"Hey, look at my memory, I forgot again." Sun Gong put the cigarette under his nose and sniffed it, then stuffed it back into the cigarette case and put it away.Then he took the initiative to chat with Chaomo: "Captain Chaomo, are you all okay at our base?"

"Fortunately, there were no casualties, and the situation is under control." Chao Mo asked, "How is the shelter? We've been taking care of Sister Hua. We came here to see if there is anything we can do to help."

"Oh, then you came too timely." Sun Gong patted his thigh without hesitation, and told Chaomo about the situation: "Yesterday we also saw that the situation was wrong, but we all thought it was a tsunami, and broadcast Everyone ran to the nearby taller buildings to take refuge, but the group of sea slugs fell to the ground like dumplings, and it was very difficult to go back underground for emergency evacuation.”

"Especially at the beginning, everyone didn't figure out what it was. When it was aggressive or not, they swallowed a lot of it for no reason. Then the situation became chaotic. Many people ran out of the building and found that the street There are more slugs. There are also some who were fine at first, but their family and friends were swallowed by sea slugs. They chased them out to save people, and finally took their own lives. In addition to the heavy rain yesterday, it was difficult to save people. In short, a rough estimate of this time is probably tens of thousands of people swallowed by sea slugs."

"Later, thanks to your people who sent the news about the weaknesses of sea slugs, Sister Hua immediately searched everywhere with torches, residential areas, factories, schools, as long as they entered the building, they would be set on fire, and at the same time, we would send a message through the radio. Inform everyone to protect their own safety. The patrols in various places cooperated together, and finally gathered most people and let them hide underground. Fortunately, the density of sea slugs on our side is not as high as that of the port. Before dark, It finally stabilized the situation."

"We also tried to rescue hundreds of people who were devoured last night, but as you said, these people were all poisoned by that spirit or something. After being rescued, they fell asleep and fell asleep. By dawn, they were basically dead. Lost."

"Why are there so many?" Chao Mo was a little surprised: "Isn't there a formula for the antidote?"

Sun Gong shook his head: "The production equipment is not enough, and the output can't keep up. Ten injections an hour are enough for who to use. In the end, we can only give priority to a few supernatural beings with high contribution value. Many people watched their own Relatives died, but there was no medicine, and the crying did not stop all night..."

As Sun Gong said, remembering the tragedy of last night, he also wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.His eyes had already turned black and blue. It was obvious that he was busy saving people that night, so he didn't sleep at all.

"You guys have done a good job. I also brought a hundred antidotes here. Although it's a drop in the bucket, I can send them to emergency later." Chaomo comforted him. I made [-] spares here, and brought the rest with me.

Sun Gong took the antidote, his eyes were red again, and he choked up and said, "Captain Chaomo, I thank you on behalf of these 100 people and their families. What you gave me is not a hundred antidote, this is It's the lives of a hundred people."

Even the reborns who were already a little cold in heart couldn't help their eyes ache when they heard this.

Chao Mo pursed his lips, and silently patted Sun Gong on the shoulder.

Sun Gong was not too immersed in this atmosphere, but quickly stared at a young man who was walking cautiously against the wall in the distance: "Hey, why did you come outside? Who let you out? It's dangerous here, you know?"

"Sun Gong, I want to come out to find my sister. He was swallowed by sea slugs yesterday and never came back. I know that by this time, people are already in danger, so I thought, as long as I can bring the bones I'll be content to go back and give her a ride so that her body won't be exposed on the street." The young man lowered his head halfway, raised his eyes and carefully looked at Sun Gong, his eyes full of pleading.

Sun Hong stared at the boy with bloodshot eyes and shouted: "It's just nonsense! Do you know how dangerous it is outside? If you don't make it right, your life will also be put in it. Do you think your dead sister can go away in peace? Go back to me!"

Fearing that he would not be obedient, Sun Gong called one of his subordinates: "Xiao An, you are responsible for sending this child to the nearest underground refuge, and let the people inside look after him, and don't let him come out to make trouble for me again."

It was a young woman in her thirties who was called. She smiled gently at the boy: "Come with me. It's too unsafe outside."

The young man didn't move, and stood stubbornly where he was. He didn't dare to refute Sun Gong's words, but he was unwilling to go back like this. He just stood stubbornly where he was, resisting silently.

Why didn't he know the danger outside, why didn't he understand that even if he found it, it might be a corpse.His life-threatening efforts probably won't change anything.

But for him, it was his family, his deepest bond in the world, and he couldn't just sit quietly and wait for the danger to pass.He couldn't calmly accept the departure of the closest person in this way, and he didn't do anything.

Adults know how to weigh the pros and cons, but young people still maintain a reckless and impulsive blood.Sometimes I will be dominated by emotion to do some silly things that seem useless.

During the stalemate, Xia Xi took the initiative to step forward: "Looking for the corpse, right? Do you have any photos or videos of your family members? If so, I might be able to help."

Everyone gathered their blank eyes and looked at the mysterious man with a cloak and a mask on his face.

Xia Xi said again: "But I don't help for free. If you find it, you have to promise to give me the bone after you die. I only accept this condition. If you don't find it, the agreement will be void. Do you agree?"

Asking for bones from a living person?Everyone stared at Xia Xi, feeling that this man was eccentric everywhere, as if he was lying to a child.

But the young man was a little moved, and thought carefully: "As long as I promise to give you the bones after I die, will you help me? But I should be younger than you, and maybe live longer than you, so you just What's wrong? Also, even if I die one day, I don't necessarily die somewhere, why did you come to take my bones?"

"You don't have to worry about this. As long as the contract is established, I will naturally find your bones. As for your ability to live a long life, that is your ability. I have no objection."

Looking at the increasingly suspicious expressions of everyone.Chao Mo took the initiative to introduce: "This is Mr. Black Crow, my friend. His ability is very special, but his character can definitely be assured."

Hearing what Chao Mo said, Sun Gong looked at Xia Xi with friendly eyes, took out the cigarette case and handed it to him, saying: "Mr. Black Crow, right? Thank you very much for your kindness, but you should have other things to ask Do it, the living people are too busy to finish their work now, so we can let go of finding the dead body first."

Xia Xi pushed the cigarette case away: "No trouble, but I can't guarantee it, I can only try."

"Then try it, please." The boy has already held up the photo in his mobile phone and moved closer to Xia Xi. In the photo is a photo of the boy and his sister. They are standing by a lake in a scenic spot. On her sister's shoulders, the girl clasped her hands in front of her. She looked like she was in her early twenties, her lips were pursed, and her eyes were gentle.

"This is my sister. She was swallowed by sea slugs yesterday to protect me. Please find her!"

Xia Xi took the phone, took a closer look at the girl's appearance, then closed her eyes, and dispersed her consciousness.

This is a new ability that Xia Xi gained when she was promoted to level four. She can use her consciousness to sense the nearby souls that have not dissipated.

Many people died yesterday, and he "saw" thousands of wandering souls floating in the entire city, some of them were still cohesive, and some were close to dissipating.He quickly scanned these souls one by one, and soon found a girl who looked similar to the photo. She looked ignorant, as if she hadn't realized that she was dead.

Xia Xi sensed the general direction, not far away, about 300 meters away, the direction is also in the same direction, but...why is it moving?In his perception, the soul belonging to the young sister was approaching the central square at a slow speed.

Xia Xi showed a puzzled look.The soul of the corpse is usually fixed next to the corpse and will not move around at will.There are two exceptions: one is that the bones are being moved.The other is that the soul itself has a strong obsession and wants to go somewhere.

Looking at this state of ignorant soul consciousness, obsession can basically be ruled out.

Xia Xi withdrew her consciousness and opened her eyes, and said to the boy, "I found it. But her body may be being moved to the central square, and we have to speed up to catch up."

"Then let's go, it's not too late." Chao Mo said goodbye to Sun Gong, called the others to set off together, and continued to approach in the direction of the central square.

When they were less than one kilometer away from the central square, their team caught up with the "corpse" that Xia Xi called.But the situation is different from expectations.

The person who was expected to carry the body did not see it.Not far from them, a girl in a white skirt was walking towards the central square with muddy body and bare feet, step by step.

"Sister!" The boy froze in place and shouted in an unbelievable tone.

When the girl heard the sound, she stopped and turned around.Her gaze accurately locked on the teenagers in the team, and her eyes quickly filled with tears: "Little brother."

"Sister!" The boy got the response, and was about to rush towards the girl, but Xia Xi grabbed the back of his collar.

Xia Xi leaned over slightly, and said in the boy's ear with a cold tone: "I can only find the souls of the dead, do you understand what I mean?"
