Except for the sound of the hard soles colliding with the high-speed railway sleepers, the world was unusually quiet.
The surrounding desert has been turning into an oasis.
If this situation were placed before the end of the world, it would definitely be a good thing, but in the end, no one can be sure.
After all, there must be a monster when things go wrong.
The setting sun stretched their reflections very long.
On this day, they passed through many villages, several small towns, and a county town, but without exception, these places were all places of death.
Of course, it is also possible that there are survivors who have not been exposed to the zombie senses and Luffy cannot sense them.
The range of his newly acquired mental power is very small and has no sensory effects.
Therefore, Luffy and the others did not stay in the county town and continued northward.
Until half an hour ago, Luffy passed through the zombie perspective and discovered the survivors.
But how to approach and integrate with them still requires careful thinking.
Along the way, Luffy was thinking about this problem.
"Where are we now?"
Luffy stopped and asked.
Xiao Xiaoling thought for a while and said, "We are now about fifty kilometers away from WW City. That small town, um, over there is HZ Town." She pointed to the east.
Standing on the railway and looking far into the distance, everyone can still see the overview of the town.
Luffy nodded and said, "Let's find a place. We'll spend the night in this town tonight!"
It was getting dark now, so we really had to find a place to spend the night.
At that moment, a few people got off the high-speed train, made a few rooms in a hotel in the southernmost part of the town, and stayed here.
"Big boss, there must be survivors in this town."
Before taking a break, Qiu Zhihu said solemnly.
"It doesn't matter, we used our powers to sneak in. No one noticed us. Let's sleep peacefully and talk about it tomorrow!" Luffy said nonchalantly.
Of course he knew about this situation, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to settle here. At the very least, he would have to go to the city and choose a star-rated hotel. It's not like he didn't have the strength.
After some corrections, it was already very late at night. Looking at Xiao Xiaoling and others sleeping in their clothes, Luffy shook his head.
Since knowing the characteristics of his system, few people dare not provoke him, for fear that Luffy can't help but deal with them.
Luffy sighed, lay down on the hotel chair, and closed his eyes.
The connection with zombies officially begins.
The second-level zombie connected to him this time is the corpse guard of a third-level corpse whisperer evolver.
The mental bridge was constructed, and the scene in Luffy's mind immediately changed!
Obviously, this is a basement. In addition to the smell of living people, there is also a musty smell.
There were five candles lit in the room, and eight people were sitting or standing randomly. Through the zombie's perspective, Luffy saw the owner of the zombie guard.
She was a woman, with a ponytail similar to Lin Qiaoni's. She was sitting on a ponytail at the moment. Luffy, who had been focusing on women recently, immediately observed the curve of her back. It was very nice!
A woman with such a back curve should be pretty good overall...
Luffy thought subconsciously.
These people were obviously having a meeting. Through observation, he understood the strength of these people, which was very weak!
There are only three evolvers!
Two of them are only first-order evolvers, and only the woman in front of them is a third-order evolver.
In contrast, Luffy is not surprised. This is more in line with the real situation of the end of the world. Not all survivors are as relaxed and comfortable as Dawn.
"Official Chen, no supplies can be found in the entire town and surrounding villages. We must expand the search scope, otherwise, all of us, No. 100, will starve to death this winter!"
Luffy looked around and saw that the person speaking was a man about forty years old, who was not an evolved person. After he finished speaking, he looked at the woman with a worried look on his face.
Luffy naturally understood what the man said. Through the woman's other corpse guards, he learned that there were less than a hundred other survivors here.
And through the situation at the hotel in the southernmost part of the town, he also knew that the town's supplies had been plundered long ago, because in the entire hotel, he could not find any supplies that could satisfy his hunger.
The apocalypse lasted for nearly a year and a half, and the material consumption of the 100 people was not a small amount.
The woman didn't speak immediately, maybe she was thinking.
"Mr. Chen, please give me an idea! What should we do?" Someone spoke again.
At this time, the woman said, "Everyone knows that outside the small town and the surrounding villages we often visit, there are a large number of third-level or even fourth-level zombies and other evolved creatures, and my corpse guards,
With only second-level strength, even in a sneak attack, the probability of killing a third-level evolved creature is very low. Once the kill fails, I may be exposed... Hey, it's all my fault for being careless. I thought that with the supplies from the town, I would be able to do it.
You can sit back and relax. Who knew that the evolved creatures outside would not only devour and evolve, but also evolve independently over time! After two or three months of being comfortable, they would no longer be able to keep up with the pace of evolution!"
Luffy heard the deep exhaustion in her tone.
As for the woman's theory, Luffy also understands that for evolvers in the apocalypse, only combat consciousness and experience skills can be improved through training, while the level of factors that most directly affects the strength of an evolver can only be improved by absorbing energy crystals.
Once the gap is widened by other evolved creatures, it will be very difficult to improve.
All the people who survived the apocalypse have responded to that sentence, sailing against the current, or retreating if they don’t advance!
The woman in front of me must have been comfortable for a few months after collecting a large amount of supplies. When the supplies were exhausted, she suddenly discovered that she could no longer keep up with the pace of evolutionary biological evolution...
"Guard Chen, please don't say that. You are the town official for the national examination. I think you said you would lead us to survive in the apocalypse, so we accepted your leadership. Now if you are discouraged,
We don't have any hope!" The man who spoke before said seriously.
At this time, someone else said, "Yes, Chen Zhenguan, you are the most powerful evolver here. You have absorbed all our previous energy crystals..."
Someone interrupted the man's speech and said angrily, "Hey, how can you say such a thing? Which of the previous energy crystals was not obtained by Shuying herself?"
Luffy could tell that the one who stood up for women was one of the first-order evolvers here. It was obvious that this man supported women very much.
Through these people's words, Luffy knew the name of the woman in front of him.
Chen Shuying.
"After studying, stop talking! Brother Sun, Brother Zheng is right. I occupy a lot of resources, and the daily supplies are of the highest standard. Moreover, I am also the town official. I have the responsibility to search for supplies for everyone." Chen Shuying hurriedly said
road.
Then she turned her head again and said to the two people who were talking, "Brother Sun, Brother Zheng, don't worry, I'm not discouraged. I'm just explaining the current difficulties to everyone..."
Perhaps she was too anxious, and she didn't even notice the corpse guard behind her touching his nose.
Luffy touched his nose, and from what he heard, it seemed like the Chen Shuying in front of him was a good person!
How could a person who is ruthless and cold-blooded be morally kidnapped by just a few words from one or two people?
As a result, Luffy temporarily excluded Chen Shuying as the target of the experiment.
Although he thinks he is not a good person, he still has to maintain his basic moral bottom line.
