Huayang chose a relatively remote path in the school to walk. Along the way, she encountered only five or six zombies. With the cooperation of the three of them, she killed them all and harvested two crystal cores.
Huayang kept one and put it into the space, and gave the other to Wu Tianqi so that he could reserve it so that he could recover quickly if his powers were used up later.
In the apocalypse, crystal cores are a necessary material for superpowers, and can be life-saving in some battles.
The school was eerily quiet, with no sound at all. Only the occasional breeze blew through the green plants on both sides, making a little rustling sound of plant branches and leaves.
Hua Yang was already alert at this time. Zombies would wander around and bite people, but the three of them had already walked to the playground. Except for a few zombies at the school gate just now, no other zombies were seen. p>
Suddenly, there was an unusual commotion in the vegetation, which made Huayang stop and look around. But after looking around, except for a certain bush shaking a few times, there was nothing unusual at all.
"I feel something is not right. Please be alert and be careful. Something is nearby and may have discovered us!"
Just as Hua Yang warned Wu Tianqi and Meng Yi, a strange gust of wind appeared behind Hua Yang. Hua Yang instinctively tilted to one side and rolled on the spot.
Although she reacted quickly enough and escaped the sudden attack, she stood up and touched the back of her neck, which was covered in blood.
It's this thing! It was the thing that chased and attacked her in her last life. Until he finally escaped with Yu Tianlin and their team, he didn't even see what it was.
Huayang took a quick sip of space river water, and the wound on the back of her neck healed quickly, leaving no scar.
But soon, this strange feeling of wind appeared again, and it appeared on the back side of Huayang.
Even if Huayang was mentally prepared, the speed of this thing was so fast that she had no time to react before she was hit again.
Soon after, at the same moment, Wu Tianqi suddenly appeared behind Huayang, with a red flame rising in his hand.
The wind-like attack dissipated immediately after touching Wu Tianqi's flames, and let out a piercing scream.
This scream is not like the unpleasant roar of a zombie, but has a harsh, hollow echo in the abdominal cavity, mixed with the sound of flapping insect wings.
But after the screaming, everything calmed down, and even the vegetation everywhere became silent.
Hua Yang frowned and followed Wu Tianqi and Meng Yi back to back to prevent this thing from sneaking up again.
But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement, so the three of them walked backwards, one in front, one on the side, and the other with his back leaning against the two. Although the speed was very slow, it was better to be safe.
Finally, the three of them walked slowly to the other side of the playground, which formed a triangle with the school's teaching building and the girls' dormitory. The place they were in was the center of the triangle.
This is usually the most crowded place because there is a fountain in the center. In the center of the fountain is a stone statue of a thinker. The fountain starts spraying water every noon and evening, and many couples come here for dates.
But at this time, the scene in front of the three people was a bit creepy.
There were corpses all over the ground, blood mixed with some kind of disgusting mucus. In addition to the smell of blood, there was also an unpleasant pungent smell.
What surprised them most was that among these corpses, there were not only human corpses, but also zombie corpses. Each corpse seemed to have had its hands, feet, and head chopped off by a perverted murderer.
The edge of the wound has a gear shape, which is the same shape as the wound on Hua Xiaodie’s arm.
"Here, are we encountering a massacre scene?"
Meng Yi swallowed secretly and took a deep breath to prevent himself from appearing too scared.
At this moment, Wu Tianqi suddenly had a flame rising in his hand, and he controlled the flame to fly in one direction.
"Squeak!"
A familiar scream came again, and it seemed to be the thing that attacked them just now.
Huayang looked at Wu Tianqi with some curiosity and asked, "How do you know the location of that thing?"
Wu Tianqi frowned and didn't know how to explain.
"I don't know its location, but when it comes close to me at a certain distance, the fire element in my body seems to become active. As long as I summon the flame, I can feel its location."
Wu Tianqi was also a little happy and continued: "I tried it, and I actually got hit."
Huayang nodded. No wonder people in previous lives said that some people who have awakened elemental powers will have an increased ability to perceive things. It seems to be true.
Huayang was originally worried about how to deal with this thing. Because they couldn't even see its body, let alone anything else. Moreover, there was such an unknown monster secretly attacking, which was too dangerous for them. Now, Wu Tianqi has the ability to sense and can determine the location of monsters, so it will be much easier.
So she whispered to Wu Tianqi: "Don't attack after you find the location later. Tell me first and I will go around."
Meng Yi's fat body came over and asked curiously: "What about me? What should I do?"
Huayang glanced at the surrounding environment, and was deeply afraid that zombies or other things would approach during the battle. So she said: "You will be on guard for a while. If you find something approaching, call us immediately. If you can't fight, run away.
Do you understand?"
Meng Yi patted his chest and agreed, then found a thicker tree to hide in.
But just as he hid his figure, he suddenly shouted.
"Oh my God, what's so big? Go away! You're even pulling my face!"
Hua Yang and Wu Tianqi heard the sound and walked over to take a look, and were both shocked.
"It's so big, is this a cicada?"
Huayang used her supernatural power to wrap her hands and pick up the wings of this thing. It was heavy, its belly was bulging, and it also emitted bursts of strange cicada chirping.
However, she suddenly laughed.
"Huayang, what did you think of?"
"That's right, Lao Meng, I was almost bitten by this big bug. Fortunately, I have a thick skin."
Hua Yang glanced at Meng Yi in a funny way. This guy can be so proud and say thick-skinned as a compliment. He is a talent.
She rolled her big eyes, looked at the big golden cicada struggling in her hands, raised the corners of her mouth and looked at them and said: "I think I know what is attacking us."
"What is it? It's already this time, and you're still going around in circles! In this world, how can cicadas grow so big? Fortunately, cicadas don't have any attack power. If bees and wasps also become so big, and a large group comes over, they won't be able to kill all the people.
Is it gone?"
Huayang was amused in her heart, but she didn’t tell them that bees, wasps and even ants would indeed become so big in the future, and their numbers would also be densely packed.
"This is not a cicada, it is a cicada."
Wu Tianqi looked at the huge golden cicada in Huayang's hand with a sudden realization, and said it at the same time as Huayang.
"The mantis stalks the cicada?"
Huayang nodded and said: "It seems we have to do this again."
"What are you going to do?"
Huayang picked up the big cicada in her hand, tore off its two pairs of wings and half of its insect legs with her bare hands. Then she threw it into the circular fountain pool next to it.
The huge golden cicada, whose wings and legs were removed by Huayang, did not die. Instead, it screamed violently in pain, and the sound resounded throughout the square where the fountain pool is located.
Huayang and the other three quietly walked to an equipment room next to the playground, and then secretly looked at the location of the fountain pool.
Meng Yi didn't believe it. The one who attacked Huayang and Wu Tianqi was a praying mantis? It could have caused the massacre of so many people and zombies in the fountain pool, and the culprit was a praying mantis?
"I said Huayang, am I mistaken? How can a praying mantis be so powerful? So many people and zombies have been cut into pieces!"
"It shouldn't be wrong. After the end of the world, flowers, plants and trees may mutate. Look at that cicada, isn't it bigger than your head?"
"But how big must that praying mantis be to cause such a terrifying effect?"
Before Meng Yi could finish speaking, something strange happened next to the fountain, which confirmed Huayang's suspicion and made Meng Yi sweatdrop on his back.
"Is this so big?"
Seeing that figure, Meng Yi couldn't help but tremble in his calves.
