Chapter 14: A red zombie?
Driven by expectations and fantasies, Bai Yi put on his new coat with a pale face. He stood in front of the window vigilantly, observing the movement outside the window. When Xiao He woke up, Bai Yi still kept this posture, motionless.
Xiao He was shocked the moment she woke up. She was sleeping so deeply that she didn't know when she fell asleep at that moment. This was unprecedented in her experience in the past ten days. Before the end of the world, she had always been a light sleeper. How could she sleep so unconsciously? She opened her eyes and saw Bai Yi's back, feeling confused - was it because of this person?
Should she trust him after just one day? Xiao He was full of doubts, and Bai Yi didn't realize that all this was the influence of his ability. The team mode of the 'Battle Upgrade System' is far more complicated than it seems on the surface.
Bai Yi can clearly feel Xiao He's trust in him, and his influence on Xiao He as the captain constantly shapes the relationship between the two. Xiao He can't realize the change in his attitude towards him as clearly as Bai Yi, but Bai Yi's ability allows her to feel the subtle changes in their relationship. It is this influence that makes her relaxed and alert in front of this stranger.
As long as they are still in team mode, this invisible trust will deepen. "Bai Yi, go and rest, I'm awake!"
Xiao He got up without thinking too much and replaced Bai Yi. Bai Yi did not refuse, because the energy brought by the coffee was exhausted. If he continued to insist, even if he was still awake, his vigilance would be reduced. This is extremely dangerous for people on duty at night. Xiao He, who was on duty in the second half of the night, was in a much better mental state. She used the remaining flames to make a cup of hot coffee. After a few sips, she was completely awake.
After all, as an awakener, the various functions of the body far exceed those of ordinary people! With Xiao He on guard, Bai Yi no longer has to worry about the people around him having bad intentions towards him. He fell asleep quickly in bed. When he woke up, he was attracted by the rich aroma.
The awakeners have a large appetite, and their food last night had long been consumed. When Bai Yi smelled the fragrant aroma of instant noodles, his stomach couldn't help but growl! Due to limited conditions, Bai Yi could only use a bottle of water to simply rinse his mouth and wash his face, but in the end times, this was considered a luxury. He saw Xiao He busy cooking noodles, and he came up with an idea, so he took out a portion of jade meat from his backpack!
This portion of jade meat weighs about half a pound, and the energy contained is enough for an awakener to eat. If it was the day before, Bai Yi would never take out such precious ingredients to share with others. But after fighting together, Bai Yi's vigilance against Xiao He has decreased. Without exposing his true ability, Bai Yi is also willing to take out the food in his hand to improve everyone's survival ability.
He cut the jade meat into small pieces with a fruit knife and poured it into Xiao He's surprised eyes. The aroma in the pot became stronger and the taste became more tempting.
The two couldn't help swallowing their saliva, and looked at each other and couldn't help laughing! Instant noodles with jade meat are obviously a step up. Not only does it taste different, Bai Yi can also clearly feel a stream of heat flowing in his stomach, and the small wounds on his body are also slightly hot!
Unfortunately, due to his physical defects, Bai Yi could hardly rely on the healing power contained in the jade fat meat to heal his wounds. However, Xiao He's wounds healed about half unknowingly, which was a world of difference compared to Bai Yi.
Bai Yi looked at the energetic Xiao He and couldn't help feeling a little melancholy. They are all awakened people with special abilities, why is there such a huge gap between them?
Even if he has reached level five, he may not be comparable to Xiao He in any aspect! Especially the speed that he is most proud of, in the eyes of Xiao He who has the wind element, it is only slightly faster than ordinary people. Bai Yi even compared strength with Xiao He, but was easily suppressed by this girl.
Xiao He couldn't even pull the longbow she carried with her. Apart from Xiao He's special ability, Bai Yi felt that he was now useless compared to her...
But Bai Yi knew his strengths! Although he was frustrated, he did not lose his fighting spirit!
"Wait, when I reach level 20, I must reverse the situation and completely suppress Xiao He..."
Encouraging himself secretly, Bai Yi buried his head in his food, as if all the depression in his heart had turned into the aroma of food...
After dinner, Bai Yi didn't even have time to clean up, and hurriedly pulled Xiao He upstairs!
Xiao He was confused by his actions, and had no idea why Bai Yi was so eager to "sweep"!
How could she know that Bai Yi was not eager to find supplies, but eager to gain experience points from killing zombies! He was eager to grow quickly, at least to surpass Xiao He in some aspects!
His urgency made him ignore the difference between the zombies on the second floor and those on other floors. The zombies on the second floor were so quiet that it made people feel uneasy. It was not until he smashed a piece of glass that the zombies roared and began to attack Bai Yi!
Xiao He, who was holding a bow behind him, frowned slightly, wondering if there was anything wrong with this corridor?
Bai Yi was full of fighting spirit. As his level increased, his physical abilities were greatly enhanced, and killing zombies was like chopping melons and vegetables. The head-breaking knife in his left hand flashed a bloody black light, and he chopped wildly, and an ugly zombie head fell.
Looking at the increase in experience points, Bai Yi was delighted to find that his experience points reached 31/32! He only needed to kill one more zombie to level up again!
At this moment, the significance of his efforts was obvious. Thinking of this, he became even more excited and rushed to the next dormitory impatiently!
There seemed to be no zombies in this room. Bai Yi rushed in blindly with excitement, but there was no movement in the room, which made him a little disappointed.
He glanced at Xiao He who was keeping a certain distance from him, and couldn't help shouting: "Why don't you come over? Are you too full and can't walk? Hehe!"
In the face of Bai Yi's ridicule, Xiao He did not refute. At this moment, her forehead was slightly sweaty, but the alertness in her body arose spontaneously. Her left hand tightly grasped the longbow, and her right hand instinctively touched her waist.
"What's going on? Why are you so panicked? There seems to be something scary ahead?" Xiao He felt his heartbeat like thunder and his face turned pale.
At this moment, Bai Yi didn't realize anything. He jokingly smashed the glass next to him with the blade. At this time, Xiao He, who was standing not far away, shouted: "Get out of the way!"
Bai Yi was stunned and didn't react to what happened. Suddenly, his eyes went black, and the wooden door exploded, and the entire door panel hit him!
Bai Yi was overwhelmed by the flying door before he even had time to raise his knife! He hit the concrete wall heavily and barely raised his arm to block the door panel pressing on him...
"Ah!" With a loud noise, a black shadow jumped out of the broken dormitory door. Although he was not tall, he was abnormally fat. This body slammed into the flying door panel!
Bai Yi, who had just stood up, had no ability to fight back. He was pressed down again and vomited blood!
The strong pressure made Bai Yi scream and struggle in pain. The black shadow was obviously attracted by the living flesh under his body. The sharp claws instantly penetrated the door panel and grabbed Bai Yi!
At this time, Bai Yi realized the seriousness of the matter, and fear surged in his heart!
Feeling the touch of penetration on the door panel, he instinctively used the angle formed by the door and the wall to slide out!
The sharp black claws penetrated the door panel. The black shadow found that the prey had escaped, roared angrily, and tore the door panel hard, tearing it to pieces in an instant!
Bai Yi luckily escaped the attack, but his ankle hurt and the whole person fell to the ground! It was the door frame fragments that hit his foot! "Damn it!" Bai Yi didn't expect that he was so unlucky. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain of his ankle, and rolled and crawled forward to escape!
There was a heavy sound of footsteps behind him! Even if he didn't look back, Bai Yi could clearly feel the stench coming from behind! "I'm too careless!" He blamed himself. He thought he could easily deal with it after gaining the ability, but he didn't expect to suffer a heavy blow at the door of the female dormitory!
At this moment, he was very glad that he had first increased his speed. The super high speed value allowed him to successfully escape the enemy's attack at the last moment!
The fat black shadow grabbed Bai Yi's collar with one claw, and with a force, he only tore off a shabby coat! Bai Yi's pores were tense. This moment was the first time he faced death so closely, and his reaction ability was instantly increased to the limit!
When he felt something restrained behind him, he quickly got rid of his coat like a slippery fish!
The opponent obviously did not expect such a situation. The moment of tearing the clothes gave Bai Yi a chance to breathe! He looked up and finally saw the scene that attacked him clearly!
This glance made his heart stop for a second!
A female zombie weighing more than 200 kilograms was standing between him and Xiao He, tearing Bai Yi's coat frantically. Looking forward to the delicious blood food, she stomped her feet angrily at this moment, as if she had crushed the last wooden frame under her feet into powder...
"Oh no, it's an upgraded zombie!" Bai Yi didn't care about the size of the zombies at this moment, and his eyes were fixed on the shining crystal on the forehead of the female zombie!
A bright red crystal was embedded in her forehead, and the sunlight shone on it, emitting a dazzling brilliance like a gem! But Bai Yi had no time to appreciate this scene. He just wished he could grow two more legs and run as far away as possible!
This is not a zombie at all! It's a nightmare!
