I take skeletons to the apocalypse

"But she is obviously alive?" The young man argued in a low voice unwillingly.It would be fine if what I saw was a dead body, but now the living sister is standing in front of him, her voice and smile are the same as before, and she even calls her little brother so kindly, how can he believe it? His sister, is dead?

It was also the first time Xia Xi encountered such a situation, and guessed: "Perhaps some mutations occurred after the sea slug completely devoured a person. Forget it, you should stabilize her first."

While the two were discussing quietly, the girl in the white skirt had already walked towards them, looking straight at her younger brother, her tone naturally showing some concern: "Little brother, why did you run outside, didn't you tell you to go to avoid danger?" ?”

Thinking about Xia Xi's words, the boy took a step back in fear, swallowed his saliva, and laughed again: "I don't trust you. By the way, sister, weren't you swallowed by sea slugs? How did you survive?" of?"

"Oh," the girl pinched the corner of her skirt, evasive: "This is a long story."

Then she glanced at Xia Xi next to the young man, and everyone in the light-chasing team, and stayed on Jing Lan for a moment: "Who are these?"

"Uh..." The boy didn't know how to answer for a while, so he looked at Xia Xi with a look of help.

"Hello." Xia Xi took the initiative to go forward and greeted the girl in white skirt: "We are the supernatural beings from the opposite base. We came to help. This child was just running around by himself in order to find you, but was caught by Sun Gong , Sun Gong asked us to take him back to the refuge along the way."

This passage is true and false, but at first glance, I can't find any problems.

The girl smiled gratefully at Xia Xi, and stretched out her hand to pull the boy's arm: "That's really troublesome for you, you are going to the office area, so we won't bother you, I'll just take my brother back to the dormitory area."

Xia Xi was naturally worried about handing over the boy to the other party, so she gave Chaomo a wink, and took a step forward to stand between the boy and the girl: "You two don't have supernatural powers, and it's not safe to walk outside alone. you."

"No, it's too much trouble for you, it's just a few steps, we can..." The girl in white wanted to decline.

"No trouble, let's go." After Xia Xi finished speaking, she led the boy a few steps forward, then stopped and waited for the girl in white to follow.

"I'll be with you." Jing Lan stepped forward, wanting to follow Xia Xi.

"No need," Xia Xi raised her chin, her tone sharp: "What does Mr. Jing Lan mean? Do you think I can't handle it alone?"

Jing Lan unconsciously imagined Xia Xi's expression at the moment, it must be very like a cat that doesn't want to be approached by people, arrogant and vigilant.

Jing Lan knew that this sea slug could not threaten Xia Xi, nor could ten or twenty more.

He didn't dare to defend himself, he could only obediently admit his mistake: "I'm sorry."

The people from the Chasing Light team watched in amazement. It was really one thing. This Mr. Hei Crow was too powerful to make Jing Lan take the initiative to apologize.

The accommodation area is a residential area next to the central square. The emergency shelter under this building is transformed from the basement of a residential building. Because of the large number of people living here, the design capacity here is 1000 people.

The girl in white couldn't refuse Xia Xi's request, so she had to lead them towards one of the residential buildings, which was the No. 75 residential building where the two usually lived.

The entrance of the emergency shelter was guarded by supernatural beings, and after asking about the identities of the two siblings, they opened the door and let them pass.It's not the residents of this building, Xia Xi asked a few more questions.It wasn't until the young man repeatedly assured that he was from the Zhuguang Base, and the supernatural being checked with Gong Sun, that he was released.

"Actually, you don't need to bother, just send it here." During the period, the girl in white once again expressed her hope that Xia Xi would leave.

But the boy insisted on letting Xia Xi go in and sit down: "This brother sent us all the way back, we should at least invite him in for a drink."

"Well, I'm really thirsty all the way." Xia Xi echoed cooperatively.

"In this case, please come in." The girl had no choice but to lead Xia Xi into the basement again. The layout of the basement is a circular corridor, and the left and right sides correspond to the house numbers of each house. Now that the house has been converted into a dormitory, everyone is very obedient They rest in the basement rooms corresponding to the dormitories they live in.

The girl in white pushed open the No. 1901 basement that belonged to them. The room was very small, only a few square meters. Besides them, there were seven people sitting in it, men, women and children, leaning on the bench by the wall.

They are all people who live together, and they often meet each other on weekdays, but they are also close friends.But when these people saw the siblings coming back, they just nodded and greeted them. They didn't seem to have much desire to communicate, and even took a few glances at Xia Xi's strange equipment.

The young man explained to Xia Xi in a low voice: "Our dormitory is near the top floor, and it said that everyone should stay as high as possible, so when we had an accident, we were all in the room... Originally there were six families with eighteen people, but now there are only So many."

Xia Xi nodded. It is estimated that everyone is still immersed in the grief and numbness of the disaster at the moment, and they have not recovered.

"Drink water, please." The girl in the white skirt took Xia Xi an unopened bottle of mineral water from the box next to her and handed it to Xia Xi.

Xia Xi thanked her and unscrewed the bottle. It seemed that she was a little careless, and the water spilled on the ground.

"I was too careless." Xia Xi flicked the water drops on his hands, and looked to the side. At this time, they were sitting near the corner of the wall. The elder sister was standing behind Xia Xi's left side, which was close to the corner of the wall. The younger brother Sitting on the bench on the right, staring at his sister with a complicated expression, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Xia Xi turned her head and asked him, "Can I trouble you to find a rag for me?"

"Oh." The boy couldn't figure out what Xia Xi wanted to do, but he obediently followed his orders.

After Xia Xi waited for the boy to walk a little further, she raised the mask slightly with the other hand, revealing a part of the lower jaw and beautiful lip line.Xia Xi brought the mouth of the bottle to her lips, showing a defenseless look, but her eyes were fixed on the stagnant water on the ground.

The shadow of the ceiling was reflected in the stagnant water. At an angle that no one was paying attention to, the girl in white quietly walked around behind Xia Xi. Her body disappeared like a melting candle, replaced by a sea that merged with the wall behind her. slug.

The eaten human skin and bones were squeezed out of the body by the sea slug, and piled up on the ground together with the mucus.

A white film quickly stretched open and covered Xia Xi's head.With her free hand, Xia Xi flicked the bone beads on her wrist.

A bone bead detached from his wrist and landed on the ground, instantly turning into a snow-white skeleton.A ball of fire condensed in the skeleton's hand and accurately hit the sea slug that was about to attack.

The sea slug suffered from pain and twisted its body violently, trying to escape through the crack of the door, but a pair of bone hands accurately grabbed its head and lifted it back.

"Ah! It's a sea slug!" At this time, other people in the room noticed the appearance of the sea slug belatedly.They all screamed and got up, and ran out the door against the wall.

"Sister!" The boy turned around in shock, stared blankly at the mollusk in Xia Xi's hand for two seconds, then turned around to look for his sister's bones, and soon found human skin in the mucus behind Xia Xi's chair and bones.

"Let go of me, let me go!" The sea slug's head turned into the appearance of the teenager's sister again, and "she" looked at the boy sadly: "Little brother, please help me, I am your sister."

"Okay, stop acting," Xia Xi's control of the skeleton's hand increased a little bit, without the bone support, her sister's face was immediately pinched and deformed like plasticine.

"I realized early on that you are not human anymore, but I just wanted to observe what abilities you have. I didn't expect that you can do nothing but eat."

The sea slug screamed exaggeratedly: "You designed me? Sure enough, humans are cunning creatures!"

Xia Xi snorted: "I thought you should have a judgment, otherwise you wouldn't drive me away once or twice, but unfortunately you couldn't hold back, after all, this room is full of people with no abilities, and you can't be increased after eating. A little bit of ability, how can it compare to me, a fourth-level superhuman?"

The sea slug who was told in his heart screamed exaggeratedly, insulting Natsuki with the human prophecy he just learned.

It's a pity that the boy's elder sister is a civilized person, and there are only two sentences when he scolds: You are crazy, you deserve to die!

It had indeed foreseen the crisis long ago, but it couldn't resist the temptation of food. At the moment Xia Xi showed his weakness, he almost instinctively chose to devour it.

Xia Xi asked the bone hand to take the noisy sea slug aside, and said to the boy: "The deal is concluded, now you can pay the reward."

The boy didn't speak. He first cleaned up the corpse and bones from the mucus, took off his coat, and wrapped it up carefully.After that, he put on a face of generosity and asked Xia Xi: "How do I pay?"

Xia Xi stretched out his finger and touched the center of the young man's eyebrows. A stream of energy overflowed along Xia Xi's fingertips and penetrated into the center of the young man's eyebrows.The boy opened his eyes, a little confused: "Is this all right?"

Xia Xi nodded: "Well, this is a mark, when you die, your soul will be attached to the bone and come to find me.

"Will I also become a skeleton as powerful as it?" The boy looked at the fire skeleton that Xia Xi had just summoned.

"It should be stronger than him, it depends on which level my strength has been raised to." Xia Xi thought for a while and said: "But I don't lack skeletons recently, you might as well live a little longer, there is no need to come to me in a hurry. "

The boy nodded, hugged the coat tightly in his arms, and said, "Thank you anyway, for helping me find my sister's bones."

Xia Xi responded, put away the Fire Skull, put it on his wrist again in the shape of a bone bead, and said goodbye to the boy.

As soon as I went out, I saw two supernatural beings rushing towards this side, holding an igniter in their hands: "Where is the sea slug?"

Then their eyes locked on Xia Xi, and behind him, the head of the sea slug that was pinned immobile by two skeleton hands.

"Don't be nervous, it's been resolved. I'll take this sea slug away. If someone wants to enter the residential building later, I suggest that in addition to checking the information, you'd better have a medical examination. Also, the people here now, it's best Do a check too." Xia Xi suggested sincerely.

Xia Xi brought the captured sea slugs to the central office area and joined Chaomo.

At that time, Chaomo had already met Sister Hua. This woman in her 50s was well-dressed, but she couldn't hide the tiredness and sadness in her eyes.

When Xia Xi arrived, they were talking about the antidote. Sister Hua said that the current materials were all used up and there was only enough to produce [-] more. Both the speed and the total amount of antidote production were far from keeping up with the demand.

"We can't do anything about this." When Chao Mo said this, his expression looked a little frustrated: "If my skill level is raised to level [-], maybe I can save everyone, but I'm sorry...I can't do it now .”

"It's okay baby, it's not your fault, you have helped me a lot." Sister Hua pressed her temples with her hand: "I just sometimes wonder why I have tried my best to do it, but still protect me." Residents who don’t live in Tianming City. Is it because I can’t take on such a heavy responsibility with my ability? I think if you are the person in charge, you will be able to manage this place better than me.”

"Sister Hua, please don't say that. You have done a good job by being able to stand up and set up this shelter in the last days. It's just that the last days are like this, there are too many things that can't be done..." Zhao Mo lowered his eyes , clenched his fist secretly.At this moment, he kept asking himself in his heart, is he really powerless?

If he had established Chasing Light City instead of such a small base, he would be able to deploy much more resources now.He did help Tianming City's refuge a lot, but he also hid some key machine technologies as the trump card of his base to guard against the growing Tianming City. Can't produce antidote and fall into such a passive situation.

An emotion called remorse began to occupy Chaomo's heart. After rebirth, for the first time, he began to question whether his choice was right or wrong.

The threat to Jingting City does exist, but the real threat to human beings in the last days is the mutant creatures that are a hundred times stronger than them.However, Chaomo gave up saving more lives and chose to deal with Jingting City first.Chao Mo didn't know if his choice meant that he had become as selfish as those guys in Jingting City.

"It was sea slugs who killed people, why are you blaming yourself here?" Xia Xi walked over and put a hand on Chaomo's shoulder.He had known Chaomo for so long, and it was the first time he saw this sunny and calm person showing such a remorseful expression.

Xia Xi felt a little uncomfortable. Why didn't the murderer feel remorse, but the rescuer blamed himself for not saving enough people?Chaomo is almost becoming a saint in his eyes. The people he saved were killed without being blackened. He is still thinking about how to save people, and those in Wuer mainland who suck the blood of civilians, but still treat civilians as livestock Compared with the Guangming believers, Chaomo is simply another extreme.

Chao Mo opened his mouth, but did not explain.After sorting out my emotions, I skipped this topic: "Mr. Black Crow, is this the sea slug disguised as a human just now?"

"Yeah." Xia Xi briefly talked about the experience just now.He also said: "This sea slug can speak human language. You can interrogate it later. If you don't cooperate, you can put it on the fire and roast it. Recently, everyone is in short supply of food. I don't know if the sea slug is good for roasting." tasty."

"It's not tasty, I'm poisonous! If you eat it, you'll die!" The sea slug yelled loudly, turning into a human face again.

Chao Mo pondered: "It seems that after a sea slug swallows a person, it can not only disguise the other person's appearance and voice, but also obtain the other person's memory."

Sister Hua also quickly reacted: "I'm afraid that there are other people who were swallowed by sea slugs pretending to be survivors and ran back to hide in the crowd. I have to contact all emergency shelters and dispatch teams immediately, and immediately check the personnel information .”

"Not enough." Chao Mo lowered his face and said in a cold tone, "It is not ruled out that a place is completely occupied by sea slugs. Self-examination alone is not enough. We must first gather and clear out several teams of strongest supernatural beings. After confirming that there is no problem with the identity, let them check all the shelters one by one and report the situation in real time. The teams sent out must maintain an overwhelming advantage in combat power during the check process."

A team leader with supernatural powers next to Sister Hua showed embarrassment: "But there are more than 1000 shelters in all. If we go to investigate them all, today's search and rescue and cleanup work..."

"Listen to Chaomo." Sister Hua was very decisive: "Protecting the shelter is more important than searching and rescuing people who may survive outside. There are more than half of our survivors here, and it is the foundation for our shelter to survive."

The investigation work was carried out one after another, and Chaomo also sent a team of light-chasing team members out to help.

And Xia Xi took the initiative to undertake another job, interrogating sea slugs.

Xia Xi asked someone to get a barbecue grill, put the sea slug's head on it, and lit a small piece of charcoal underneath: "Tell me, be frank and be lenient. If the answer is good, I will add water for you. If the answer is not good, I will Add charcoal to the basin."

"Wow! Are you a devil?" The sea slug being strung up twisted and struggled desperately. Unfortunately, although he could throw away his body to escape, he couldn't lose his head.

"I don't like this sentence." Xia Xi slowly added a piece of charcoal to the charcoal brazier.

The flame was crackling and burning hot, and the flame quickly licked the body of the sea slug, and the head was close to the side of the flame, and soon there were charred marks, and the sea slug screamed in pain: "Don't burn, don't burn, what do you want to ask, you ask ,You ask!"

"It's not too bad." Xia Xi poured a small glass of water on the charcoal basin miserly, and the flames weakened a lot: "Tell me, where did you come from, and why did you form that tsunami-like tide to attack this port? ?”

The sea slug didn't dare to make trouble anymore, and answered quickly and obediently: "We don't come from anywhere, we live in the sea near here."

"The tide is one of our mid-level skills. It can use the waves to migrate and escape quickly."

"As for why it attacked the port..." The sea slug stretched out its tentacles, signaling the direction of the water bottle.

Xia Xi poured some water on his body to cool down. Seeing that he was still moaning and dissatisfied, he coldly picked up the charcoal next to him and threatened: "Say it!"

"Yes, it's because of a mutant giant sea shark. He almost devoured my group. We had no choice but to escape to the shore for our lives."
