About twenty minutes later, the two came to the door of the small hotel again.
At this time, there was a lot of excitement at the entrance of the hotel. After all, there were dozens of people coming out of the underground. Most of them came to Shicheng County to find their relatives and friends.
Now the largest stronghold in Shicheng County is the hotel here in Xu Fumin, so most of the people have gathered here.
Seeing the arrival of Xu Ye and Dou Xiaomi, Xu Fumin, who had already learned the news from his companions, was very excited and grateful.
After all, the people here are all his friends and brothers! They were able to come back thanks to Xu Ye, otherwise these people would all have died in the cave.
"Mr. Xu, thank you so much for rescuing my friend!" Xu Fumin greeted him enthusiastically, and the excitement on his face was almost overflowing.
"You're welcome, it's just a little effort." Xu Ye replied calmly, this is a win-win situation, which is good for everyone.
In the evening, Xu Fumin took out some good things and had a small gathering with everyone. After all, supplies were hard to find at this time, and he was not willing to take out too many things.
After resting here for a day and seeing everyone's superpowers, Xu Ye set out again with the strength of a fifth-level warrior and the gold superpowers he had secretly copied from Xu Fumin.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Xu Ye and Dou Xiaomi headed straight to the north.
………
On the empty and dilapidated streets, dried brown blood can be seen everywhere, and in some places there are deep, charred pits.
There are still traces left by bullets on the wall, but judging from the condition of the traces, this battle should have occurred not long ago.
"Roar!" A male zombie with a loose shawl and yellow pustules on his face rushed toward a man and a woman walking not far away.
"Let it be done." Dou Xiaomi said in a deep voice. A black shadow suddenly rushed out from behind her. In less than a second, the black shadow disappeared behind Dou Xiaomi again, and the zombie's head also fell silently.
On the ground.
Xu Ye glanced at the disappearing black shadow. She was playing with the puppet more and more. Along the way, various abilities that surprised Xu Ye were used by Dou Xiaomi, which made Xu Ye save his life.
A lot of effort was put into it.
A wisp of flame popped up and burned the zombie into ashes. Dou Xiaomi stepped forward and picked up the energy crystal from the ashes, with a happy look on his face.
Seeing Xu Ye waving his hand to indicate that he didn't want it, Dou Xiaomi quickly put it away. Suddenly he remembered something and sighed: "The effect of these energy crystals has become so low."
Xu Ye gave all of the low-level energy crystals obtained along the way to Dou Xiaomi for use, but it only slightly improved her elemental absorption ability. Moreover, she was still far behind in reaching the peak of level four.
Of course, this is the normal speed of improvement. After all, there are very few people with bugs like Xu Ye. After reaching level four, it is not so easy to improve again.
The two of them walked forward for a while again. Dou Xiaomi raised her brows and said with some joy: "Is there any survivors here?"
Xu Ye nodded slightly. Along the way from Shicheng County, the two of them spent three days on the road, and this was at the speed of driving.
I met almost no survivors along the way, and there were no living people except zombies and mutant beasts in the villages and towns I passed.
Now that they have arrived in a big city, they finally see a gathering place of human beings again. The two of them can't help but feel a little excited. After all, humans are social animals, and it is not pleasant to be alone.
According to the markings on the map, this should be considered the scope of Longzhou City, which is a bit larger than L City, but I don't know what the regulations are here.
I looked at the sky and saw that it was getting dark soon. It was probably not too early to continue on my way to the central city, and the inspections here would definitely be stricter at night.
In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Xu Ye thought for a while and said, "Let's find a place to rest for the night, and we will go in tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Dou Xiaomi didn't have any objections. She was used to sleeping in the outdoors when she was alone during these days, so it didn't matter if she rested outside for one more night.
After arriving at the outskirts of the city, Xu Ye clearly felt that the chance of encountering zombies was very small. It seemed that the survivors here would also clean up frequently.
The two of them randomly found a Golden Tiger store, opened the door and walked in. There was no food on any of the shelves in the store.
But this is normal. It has been more than a year since the end of the world, and all the food in such conspicuous supermarkets has already been taken away by the survivors.
After entering the supermarket, Xu Ye raised his eyebrows and glanced upstairs.
A black shadow floated out from behind Dou Xiaomi again. Not long after, she whispered: "There are survivors, five of them. They are probably the survivors here."
Xu Ye nodded slowly. He could also hear very slight breathing upstairs. It was obvious that this must be a human being, because zombies cannot breathe.
And by the intensity of his breathing, Xu Ye was able to tell that there were four adults among them, and they also had a child with them!
The two of them did not choose to go upstairs to say hello. They closed the door of the supermarket and found a simple single bed behind the shop. They then tidied it up casually, laid out a new sheet, and sat down directly.
Dou Xiaomi was a little curious and asked: "Brother Ye, what do you think this place is like? How about we Ming Ye?"
Xu Ye shook his head and thought for a while and said: "We'll know tomorrow, but I guess it's not as good as Ming Ye. After all, not everyone can compare with Ming Ye!"
"Well, in your eyes, that stronghold is not as strong as Ming Ye," Dou Xiaomi smiled in a low voice. She also knew that Xu Ye was a very proud person, and there were not many people who could catch his eye.
Just as the two of them were taking out some food from their backpacks and eating, there was suddenly a sound of footsteps from upstairs, and a tall figure ran down.
This is a little girl who is about ten years old. Her hair is dull and dull. She must have not been washed for a long time. Her small face is very dirty with black patches and gray patches.
Moreover, the clothes she was wearing were in tatters, and it could be seen that she had probably not eaten for a long time. Looking at the bread in their hands, the girl's eyes were shining.
