The atmosphere became extremely stiff and dignified because of his words.

Perhaps Jin Changli is the only one who doesn't think there is anything wrong with what he said: In the last days, people die every day, and people lose their relatives and lovers every day.

No one can survive in such a world without numbness and strong adjustment ability.

But now, except for him, everyone else has been dragged from a peaceful world into the apocalypse in just a few days.

They are not used to blood and death.

Wang Nan, who seemed to have been stupid, suddenly raised his head because of Jin Changli's cold and emotionless words.

Her face was covered in blood—Kong Xinyang’s—and even her eyelashes were dripping with viscous blood.

This made her look like a ghost crawling out of hell.

"What did you say?"

The woman asked hoarsely, with an almost hostile look in her eyes.It was as if she used this opportunity to vent out the pain and hatred brought about by the change in the blink of an eye.

"...Forget it, put the body down and get back in the car."

Jin Changli frowned, bluntly speaking, and at the same time swiped away several zombies with the spawned vines.

He saw what was wrong with Wang Nan, and considering that this woman would still be useful in the future, he showed tolerance and concession with a rare patience—in his opinion, it was quite a big deal to let the other party go back to the car and not have to face zombies anymore. Concession and care.

Xia Yi swept away a zombie with a stick, and sighed inwardly.

Obviously, because the protagonist has lived in the last days for too long, he has lost the soft emotions of ordinary people in peaceful times.

He didn't understand at all, Wang Nan might not even care about life and death now.All she could think about was the person in her arms... or the corpse.

Yes, corpses.But Jin Changli shouldn't have said it.

Apparently Wang Nan has not been able to accept his usual and even cowardly lover, so he threw himself on her to block the fatal blow for her and died.

However, Jin Changli spoke of each "corpse" one by one.

These cold and cruel words repeatedly poked bloody scars on Wang Nan's heart that was frozen due to the great changes.

The nerves that were numb due to the shock and pain finally reacted under such stimulation, but immediately afterward, those overwhelming pains that could not be conveyed to the brain due to sluggishness swept over her in an instant.

Xia Yi couldn't bear to walk over, and tentatively approached Wang Nan: "Let...Xinyang lie down next to him for a while. You have to cheer up. He has tried his best to protect you. He must hope that you can live well."

Wang Nan's eyelids trembled, and so did his lips.

A look of hopeless mourning slowly crept across her face.

Xia Yi sighed slightly, and tried to soften his voice: "Shall we carry him to the side to have a rest together?"

Wang Nan bit her lower lip with her teeth.

Xia Yi could see her struggle and hesitation.He knew that this woman was very resilient, that she would recover, and that she would take up arms and fight again.

He waited patiently, but some people were not so patient.

Jin Changli watched more and more zombies, and yelled impatiently: "Xia Yi! Stop talking nonsense with her there, grab the corpses and throw them away, and lead the zombies away!"

Wang Nan's body, which had shown signs of relaxation, immediately stiffened.

Kong Xinyang's death was too sudden and tragic.Or die for her.

Wang Nan is in pain, she needs to vent, and she needs to be allowed to break down—in the last days, even crying out in pain is a luxury, because it will attract more zombies.

Wang Nan sadly found that she could still think of this at this moment-in fact, it was because of the development of her brain domain that she had a good memory and would not miss any details, but she didn't know, so she felt crazy guilt:

My lover died because of me, but subconsciously I can still think about how to protect my own safety?

Am I so afraid of death?

This feeling of guilt mixed with pain is like gunpowder mixed with saltpeter. Under Jin Changli's touch, it exploded instantly:

"—Get out——!"

Holding the corpse in her arms, she let out an extremely fierce roar.

"Are you out of your mind! None of us can leave without removing the body! If you insist on going your own way, we won't even care about you." Jin Changli couldn't understand her feelings at all. Death had become a thing for him. commonplace things.

He just felt that this woman was so weak, she was not at all like the famous "Ningping Base Brain" in his memory - yes, it was precisely because Wang Nan was very famous in his previous life, and played a huge role in the construction of Ningping Base , he will go to find her and take her with him.

Including now, if an unknown person is as passive as Wang Nan and objectively attracts more zombies, he would have ignored it long ago.That is to say, this person is very useful, so he patiently persuaded him.

——Yes, in his opinion, persuasion.

Obviously Wang Nan didn't think so.

"...Before getting out of the car, you said - attack back to back, don't put the zombies behind us."

Wang Nan lowered her head, staring at the dead face of her lover, the roar that erupted from her internal organs just now seemed to have drained her strength.

At this time, her voice was rough and ugly as if frosted glass was scratched, and her tone was low as if she had crawled out of hell.

"You said, don't put the zombies behind each other...but you got out of the way."

Because Jin Changli dodged on his own, the encirclement was broken and zombies rushed behind them.

Jin Changli dismissed her accusation: "According to what you said, you insisted on telling Kong Xinyang to get out of the car and kill the zombies."

He said casually, but Wang Nan hugged the lover in his arms tightly.

Her spine began to tremble, as if she was on the verge of collapse.

"Yes....It was me. I told him to get off the car, I told him to learn how to attack zombies, and it was also because of me...he died."

"He died because of me."

At that moment, a strong airflow burst from her body, even forming a small tornado.

The woman's hair was blown up into the sky, and some of it fell on her own face, and then it was stuck with blood, but she didn't care at all.

She held her lover's body in her arms, curled up like a pangolin, and a violent wind erupted from her body, began to howl, and swept around.

"Damn it! She exploded with supernatural powers!"

Zhao Cheng was staggered by the blow, and almost fell into the arms of a zombie.

He stood still in embarrassment, and shouted: "Could the situation of the mother be worse?"

Both Xia Yi and Jin Changli were surprised.

Wang Nan obviously didn't have—or at least didn't make public—other abilities in his previous life.She has always been considered a pure brain developer.But now it was obvious that she was bursting out with the energy of the wind element.

Maybe she failed to activate the wind ability in her previous life, or maybe she kept it a secret, it doesn't matter.

The important thing is, what now?

The scene was already chaotic enough, but Wang Nan's indiscriminate outburst just made things worse.

Xia Yi made a decisive decision: "Spread out, and lead her power to the crowd of zombies!"

"Easy to say!" Zhao Cheng roared back, "I can't even stand tm!"

"Zhao Cheng, step back and avoid the wind! Jin Changli, use vines to tie up the zombies." Xia Yi said succinctly.

In a chaotic situation, anyone's petty thoughts have to be put back.Jin Changli didn't care about Xia Yi's commanding him, and he did it without saying a word.

Wang Nan's wind power is very powerful.At first it was just a meaningless curl, but then it became sharp - the kind that could cut the skin.

The three sober people led the zombies closer to her attack range.After losing the deterrent organization of the second-level zombies, none of these ordinary zombies had any thinking ability. They died very quickly in Wang Nan's storm and under the siege of Jin Changli and the others.

——And, not long after the people in their car got off, the people in the car behind also chose to get out of the car to help.This greatly enhanced the combat power of the human side.

However, among the three cars, the last car, after a brief hesitation, took a detour and ran away in the chaotic battle situation.

It wasn't until nearly two hours later that the killing and attack came to an end.

Each of Xia Yi and the others was covered in blood and corpse-smelling body fluids, and they looked in a panic.

"Xu Ai!" Jin Changli called out to the girl with spatial abilities - he had no room to expose himself, and all the supplies on the surface were placed with Xu Ai, but no one knew how much Jin Changli had hidden in private.

"Give everyone a dress!"

Jin Changli's tone is very bad, or everyone is very depressed now.

Not only because they were not used to fighting, they felt sick and uncomfortable, but also because a person they knew died tragically in front of their eyes-of course, Jin Changli was not included in this emotion.

They changed their clothes and went on their way.Wang Nan fainted because of the sudden burst of excessive use of unstable abilities.

Jin Changli snatched Kong Xinyang's body from her arms, and then released vines to wrap around it, looking like it was going to be thrown into the forest.

"Wait." Xia Yi stopped him, then turned to Zhao Cheng, "Can you use the power again?"

Zhao Cheng realized what he was going to do and gritted his teeth: "It's okay."

"Thank you for your hard work, take his ashes to Wang Nan, and leave her a memory."

Zhao Cheng's face turned pale after using the power for too long, but he still insisted on cremating Kong Xinyang's body, and put a little ashes in a small medicine bottle.

After they finished all this, Jin Changli said impatiently: "Let's hurry up, change the tires and go on the road."

On the subsequent journey, Wang Nan remained silent.

She was originally a cheerful, cheerful, and hot-tempered woman—very true to her pre-apocalyptic identity, a shop owner, forthright and a bit pungent.

But now, she hardly speaks a word for a day, and just silently plays with the small bottle containing her lover's ashes in her hand.

The others comforted her at first—of course, there was no Jin Changli, and Li Wanying didn't talk to Wang Nan because of Jin Changli's attitude—but later, because of her silent resistance, gradually no one paid attention to her.

It is not easy for everyone in the last days. No one can maintain enthusiasm and kindness at such a time. After receiving no response, they all put away their kindness.

Xia Yi didn't say much to her either, but on the third day - when no one spoke to Wang Nan, he walked over and said casually:

"Don't waste the life he gave you."

Wang Nan looked up at him.This was almost the only time in three days that she responded to someone, but she didn't make a sound.

The group of people is more than 1000 kilometers away from the Ninh Binh base, which would take two days if drivers were rotated to drive in peacetime.

But in the last days, when zombies may be encountered at any time, there may be survivors robbing, gasoline is not easy to obtain, it is difficult to contact and navigate before and after the collapse of the power system and communication system, and some roads have problems and have to change lanes. Estimated at least seven days.

During the several days' journey, they kept encountering zombies, and some human survivors who gradually exposed their evil side in the last days.

Because the various task arrangements were made by Jin Changli, Xia Yi could feel that he encountered "accidents" more often.

Presumably it was because according to the original world line, he should have awakened the metal ability long ago, but now he didn't, which made Jin Changli anxious, and kept trying to push him to the point of life and death, trying to stimulate his ability.

Xia Yi was not as good as he wanted.

——It is impossible for him to follow Jin Changli all the time. This person is too dangerous and extremely utilitarian. In his eyes, the people around him only have two kinds: "available" and "unavailable".Although Xia Yi is the "available" kind, who knows if this person will push him to die when he encounters danger or needs to make a choice?

Xia Yi planned to leave this person after arriving at the Ningping base, settle down by himself, and then go to Tan Jiuzhang.

But if he really awakened the metal ability, Jin Changli would definitely not let him go.Although Xia Yi is constantly cultivating Yin Qi, he is still no match for Jin Changli.What's more, in the eyes of outsiders who don't know the truth, Jin Changli has saved Xia Yi's life, and if he tears his face, he will leave, just like a white-eyed wolf.

So the best way is to let Jin Changli take the initiative to get rid of him.

Therefore, relying on his experience as a general, he showed increasingly proficient attacking ability-whether it is a long knife or a stick, he can use it with great style; moves, giving him enough time to eliminate them with his weapon.

——For a general who is proficient in the battlefield, it is too easy to do it without a trace, and no one has discovered that he has supernatural powers.

Others think that Xia Yi is a model among ordinary people who kill zombies purely by force, and many other ordinary people intend to establish a good relationship with him, hoping to learn a few tricks so that they can survive——

In the past few days, Jin Changli has further gathered survivors, and at the same time "cleaned" the team - because zombies and other survivors who shot at them were constantly encountered on the road, people were injured and died constantly, and the speed of replacement in the team was getting faster and faster. Faster, the proportion of ordinary people is getting lower and lower.

This seems normal. After all, it is the end of the world. After all, ordinary people's fighting ability is weak, and the zombies they encounter are constantly evolving. The slow-moving zombies are no longer easy to encounter, and they are replaced by fast-moving, attacking Stronger first-level zombies.

No one doubts the high mortality rate of ordinary people.

But only Xia Yi, who once led the army and knew the plot of the world, could see that Jin Changli did it on purpose.From the strategic arrangement of the battle to the timetable arrangement of the vigil, to the collection of food and clothing——

It seems reasonable at first glance. After all, ordinary people kill less zombies, so they should make concessions and sacrifices in other places: such as vigil at night, such as receiving less food, and being arranged to explore the road.

However, these arrangements also mean that ordinary people are more tired, hungry and weak during the day, and are more likely to encounter zombies alone.

Therefore, when Xia Yi arrived, about one-third of the team consisted of supernatural beings, and it grew along the way, while the proportion of ordinary people dropped from two-thirds to one-quarter.

And the discrimination and contempt of ordinary people by the supernatural beings are also gradually appearing.

Objectively speaking, ordinary people are indeed relatively weak in combat effectiveness, and Jin Changli's various arrangements have exacerbated their vulnerability.In the last days, where death is possible at any time and supplies are in short supply, it is perfectly normal for people with supernatural powers to discriminate against ordinary people.

At the beginning, when the team had only fifteen or six people, ordinary people were often relatives and friends of the supernatural beings, but now, because of the constant deaths and the addition of the team, the number has expanded to forty or fifty, and the familiarity between members But plummeted.

They may be able to tolerate their relatives and friends who are ordinary people who contribute less and need protection, but they cannot tolerate their fellow travelers who are essentially strangers.

There are also some supernatural beings who have lost relatives and friends of ordinary people. They don't know who to hate, so they distortedly cast their malice on other ordinary people-the mood is probably similar to, "Why are we all ordinary people? My relatives and friends are dead. , and you can live."

Human beings are essentially animals, and they have been hierarchical for millions of years, but it has only been a few decades since they entered a more civilized and equal modern society.

When order collapsed and civilization shattered, ugliness was quickly reborn among the panicked survivors.

But Jin Changli chose to indulge.

——Or, this was his purpose in the first place.

"Everyone understand that those who can do more work will get more. People with supernatural powers will make greater contributions to everyone's safety, and they should also receive priority in supplies and rest."

At first, it was just such a simple logic, and then it began to expand to all aspects of life.

The place to rest, the priority of getting supplies, the bias in case of conflict...

Immediately, the supernatural beings and ordinary people split into two camps.Among them, supernatural beings have absolute superiority in force, while the legal and moral systems have collapsed.

Therefore, contempt and humiliation is already the slightest injustice, and more evil deeds unimaginable in peaceful times began to be revealed.

——The situation reached its peak when it was only 70 kilometers away from the Ninh Binh base.
