It was already dark when everyone checked the information and prepared supplies.
Xiao Lou looked out the window. The street lights on the street were still on. The Zerg had obviously not had time to destroy the city's circuit system. He asked Yu Hanjiang: "Should we go to the east of the city overnight, or should we wait until dawn?"
Yu Hanjiang thought for a while and said: "Let's explore the habits of the Zerg first. We don't know yet whether they will rest or become more active after dark."
After all, this kind of bugs is unfamiliar to everyone. I am not sure whether they will be more aggressive at night. What if they are bugs that are more excited at night? Walking at night is simply courting death. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be better.
Clear customs.
Yu Hanjiang glanced at everyone and said, "Come with a few people who can move quickly to explore the road with me."
Liu Qiao, Ye Qi, Long Sen, and Qu Wanyue all raised their hands, and Shao Qingge said: "I copied the teleportation card, so I can go."
Xiao Lou had the acceleration shoes given by Yu Hanjiang in his hand. However, Xiao Lou's own running speed was too slow. Even if he accelerated five times, he might not be able to outrun the bugs. Yu Hanjiang thought about it and decided to copy another displacement card and let him take Xiao Lou with him.
Let’s go upstairs together.
Yu Hanjiang looked at Shao Qingge and said, "Mr. Shao, copy a Qinggong card for me."
Shao Qingge rubbed his temples helplessly: "My skill costs 5 million to copy a card. A secret room can only be copied twice, and the same card cannot be copied."
Yu Hanjiang said calmly: "It doesn't matter. You can go back to the main city to make more money after spending it. It's important to clear the 8 of Spades first."
Now that the captain had said so, Shao Qingge settled down and made a copy of Liu Qiao's "Body as Light as a Swallow" and gave it to him.
After everyone prepared the cards, Yu Hanjiang said simply: "This expedition is mainly to investigate the habits of the Zerg. Everyone has invisibility cloaks and displacement cards. Try not to disturb them, let alone conflict with them head-on.
Leave immediately after checking, don't be reluctant to fight."
After saying that, he simply gestured to everyone, walked to the door of the decoration company, and opened the iron door.
The eight people quickly stepped out and Lao Mo locked the iron door behind them.
Outside the door, street lights illuminated the entire city.
The streets were empty, and most of the small shops were closed. Although the doors of the shopping malls were open, there was not a soul in sight. In one day, the originally lively and prosperous city center almost turned into an empty city.
From time to time, the sound of rats gnawing at garbage bags could be heard in his ears. Yu Hanjiang observed his surroundings with vigilance. Not far away, a fat rat saw them and immediately ran away and disappeared around the garbage cans.
There were also stray cats and dogs rummaging through the trash cans for food. They were used to seeing people coming and going and were not afraid of humans. After seeing Yu Hanjiang, the stray dog even barked "bark" twice.
but there was no sign of attacking them.
Yu Hanjiang lowered his voice: "It seems that the Zerg only infects humans and has no effect on these animals."
The eight people walked forward quickly.
Today at noon, those people who were basking in the sun and taking photos in the square were infected, and some died on the roadside. Dazzling blood flowed from the eyes of the corpses, and the ground nearby was stained with blood. Some people became infected and went to
Chasing and biting other normal humans.
At this time, the sky above Nuoda Square was empty, and a gust of cold wind blew by, making everyone shiver.
Yu Hanjiang said: "They should have planned to invade the entire city and hunt down the indigenous people. There are no more prey in the square, so they have moved their targets. Nearby residential areas, shopping plazas, commercial centers, and food cities, these people
Places with concentrated traffic will definitely produce large numbers of mutated Zerg, so everyone must be careful when moving."
Ye Qi quickly took out the flute from his card bag and looked above his head.
The moment he raised his head, a Zerg suddenly swooped down from the air - it turned out that it had been lying on the street lamp on the edge of the square. The light at night was too dim. It was wearing a pure black suit and almost blended with the night.
In order to be one, but those scarlet eyes exuded a penetrating cold light in the dark night, staring straight at Ye Qi.
Ye Qi cursed in his heart and immediately blew the flute. As expected, the Zerg was frozen in place by the sound of the flute. Yu Hanjiang took out a 17-type pistol from the card holder, equipped it with a silencer, and shot it suddenly
Blast the opponent's head!
Xiao Lou clenched his fists nervously: "Don't you know how to integrate and upgrade?"
Yu Hanjiang stared coldly at the man in a suit who fell on the ground and said: "The prerequisite for fusion is to have a partner to fuse with him. There is only one Zerg within a hundred meters. I want to see if I can kill him when he is alone."
They must die."
The man lying on the ground should have been an executive of a certain company before he was infected. He was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and was holding a briefcase in his hand. After being shot in the head by Yu Hanjiang, his head was bleeding all over the ground. Sure enough, with
Just like the man whose head was shot in the supermarket, countless black spider-like things crawled out of his blood.
However, since there were no other parasites around for them to fuse and upgrade, and they could not directly infect the four Xiao Lou people, the Zerg quickly deflated as if their strength had been drained, and after two squeaks there was no movement.
Ye Qi was disgusted when he saw these things at first, but he got used to them after seeing them too much. He stared at the group of things curiously and said, "They are motionless. They seem to be dead, right?"
Xiao Lou thoughtfully said: "It seems that the lone Zerg are easy to kill. As long as the Zerg are driven out of human bodies, they will not survive. In the future, we can find ways to separate the Zerg and defeat them one by one."
Of course, this method is only useful in small-scale encounters. Once you encounter more than twenty Zergs acting collectively, it will be difficult to kill them one by one.
Yu Hanjiang analyzed: "This kind of Zerg should be a gregarious animal. The more they are, the stronger they are. One or two alone are not something to be afraid of."
Several others nodded in agreement.
In the supermarket today, due to the large number of Zerg, upgrading and fusion have brought a lot of trouble to everyone. If there are only one or two, it is not terrible. They cannot fuse and upgrade themselves, and they will only die.
Social animals, this judgment makes everyone's spine hairy.
The square was empty, which seemed to confirm Yu Hanjiang's speculation - they were probably hiding in those buildings, staying together in groups, and the few scattered ones on the street might have gotten lost and failed to follow the large group.
This also means that once everyone encounters the Zerg, it will be an extremely terrifying number!
Xiao Lou said: "The night seems to have no effect on them?"
Yu Hanjiang said: "Most bugs like to come out at night. I estimate that not only will nighttime not affect their movements, but it will make their vision and hearing sharper. If Xiaoye hadn't been prepared for this one just now, he might have pounced on it.
It’s fallen down.”
Ye Qi looked at the dark thing on the ground with lingering fear and said: "It may have been staring at us and waited until we got closer before suddenly attacking. Fortunately, I reacted quickly!"
Humans are accustomed to moving during the day and resting at night, but small animals such as cockroaches and mice, including this unknown insect species, prefer the night. The night will be more dangerous for challengers.
It was unwise to cross half of the city overnight to get to the east side of the city. It was best to move during the day, but Yu Hanjiang still wanted to take the opportunity to check out the gathering place of the Zerg so that everyone could avoid the Zerg army when they moved around tomorrow.
Thinking of this, he simply said to his teammates: "Everyone put on the invisibility cloak. We have 30 minutes to check out the activities in nearby shopping malls, food courts and other places to see where the Zerg are most numerous so we can determine our actions tomorrow."
route."
Ye Qi suggested: "After putting on the invisibility cloak, the Zerg can't see us, right? The cloak only has 30 minutes, and it may be too late to check so many places. Should we just split up?"
Xiao Lou was a little worried: "If we work separately, if we encounter danger, we will be weak and easily infected."
Ye Qi said seriously: "I have an invisibility card and a teleportation card. The Zerg cannot see me or catch me, so it should be fine. At worst, I will run away when I encounter a large number of Zerg."
Liu Qiao followed: "Me too, I can put on an invisibility cloak and use Qing Gong to jump on the top of the building. No matter how fast they are, they can't compare to me finding a jumping landing point in 3 seconds."
Long Sen said: "Wanyue and I have no problem with our ability to protect ourselves. Before the bugs find us, we can just use the invisibility cloak and use the long jump to run away. We can jump 8 meters at a time and the bugs can't catch up."
Yu Hanjiang frowned and said nothing.
Ye Qi scratched his head, his clear eyes full of seriousness: "Although our strength is not as good as Captain Yu, but... we can't always rely on Captain Yu for protection, right? We also want to help a little."
Liu Qiao said seriously: "Yes, it's only the A-level secret room now. We have to go through the S-level secret room. If we don't dare to investigate the A-level secret room, will we always hide behind Captain Yu when we get to the S-level secret room?"
Long Sen nodded like a fool: "That's right, the invisibility is only 30 minutes. It's such a waste for eight of us to investigate one place. Don't worry, Captain Yu. With the help of the cloak, we can protect ourselves!"
The others looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Yu Hanjiang thought about it carefully - they are right, he cannot protect everyone all the time, everyone must learn to protect themselves. It is only the 8 of spades now. If you can't protect yourself, the spades will be more difficult later.
What should I do with j and the king of spades?
It's time to practice the team members' mobility and courage.
The invisibility cloak can not only hide the body, but also hide the smell. The invisibility time lasts for 30 minutes and becomes transparent air. The Zerg will not be able to detect it. Coupled with various displacement cards, if you can't escape... then you are really useless.
Got it!
Yu Hanjiang looked at several teammates.
Since his teammates were so courageous, Yu Hanjiang didn't want to undermine everyone's self-confidence and simply said: "Okay, I will arrange the groups now. Liu Qiao, Qu Wanyue, and Long Sen, the three of you have cards that can jump and fly.
, take charge of this large high-rise residential area to the east of the square, check the movements of the Zerg from the air, the three of you had better act together, take care of each other, and don't be too far apart."
The three people nodded immediately: "Understood!"
Yu Hanjiang continued: "Mr. Shao, Ye Qi, Lao Mo, you go check the financial center and office buildings. These buildings contain a large number of companies, banking institutions, and I need a rough data on the survival rate and infection rate of office workers."
Ye Qi said: "No problem!"
Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou and said, "Let's check out the shopping mall and food court."
Xiao Lou naturally had no objection and nodded.
Yu Hanjiang whispered: "Be careful, use the displacement card to retreat immediately when in danger. Find out the situation of the Zerg within 25 minutes and come back here to meet up. Don't be reluctant to fight. If you encounter trouble that cannot be solved, just throw night pearls or lanterns to nearby people."
Teammate signal!”
Everyone nodded vigorously: "Understood."
Yu Hanjiang waved his hand: "Action!"
The eight people were divided into three teams, put on invisibility cloaks, quickly dived into the night, and quickly investigated in three directions.
&nb--
sp; Even if the Zerg has a 360-degree field of vision and a keen sense of smell, they cannot detect everyone's presence.
Unfortunately, the Invisibility Cloak card can only be used once a day, and it can only last for 30 minutes. It is used tonight to detect the enemy's situation. It must be carefully planned and used starting tomorrow. It can save lives at critical moments.
After his teammates left, Yu Hanjiang gently hugged Xiao Lou's waist and said calmly: "I'll take you away."
Xiao Louer got excited and asked: "Can the Qinggong card make people fly? I don't remember that Liu Qiao's card has this skill..."
Yu Hanjiang whispered: "If you can't do it with cards, I can do it."
Xiao Lou: “…………”
With a slight exertion of his arm, he lifted Xiao Lou up.
Xiao Lou was so light that it was much easier for him to pick him up than to run with a sack in the police academy. Xiao Lou only felt his waist tighten, and the man's strong arms took him into his arms so easily.
, then he opened the Qinggong card and flew into the sky.
Xiao Lou: "..."
There was a whistling wind in his ears, and they couldn't see each other with their invisibility cloaks on, but they could clearly feel the power of Yu Hanjiang's arms on his waist. Being held by Yu Hanjiang's waist and flying with light skills, Xiao Lou felt his heart beat like a drum.
Under his feet is a dark city full of dangers. Yu Hanjiang is flying above the city with the help of buildings. He is as light as a swallow. The basic card is to find a landing point in 3 seconds. After reaching the maximum level, it takes 8 seconds to find a landing point. Mr. Shao
When copying, Liu Qiao's card was already at full level, so it could fly a long distance in the air.
The 8 seconds of flying in the air can cover almost all the buildings on both sides of the street. With Yu Hanjiang's long legs, it is quite easy to find the landing point. He is like a flying goose, floating and jumping lightly on the buildings.
Xiao Lou suddenly had the illusion of filming a martial arts blockbuster with Captain Yu.
After the two flew for a while, Yu Hanjiang chose the shopping mall as the landing point.
This four-story shopping plaza should gather a large number of humans. If more than 80% of the people are infected, then this place will become a nest of Zerg, and no one left can escape. Yu Hanjiang just wants to make sure about shopping
Is the square a gathering place for Zerg? If it is, they can avoid this area when they retreat to the eastern part of the city tomorrow.
When he landed at the entrance of the shopping mall, Yu Hanjiang let go of Xiao Lou's waist and said in his mind: "Go in and take a look."
The two walked into the shopping mall together.
To their surprise, the first floor was empty.
The entire shopping mall was brightly lit, but not a single person could be seen. The doors of shops selling clothes and drinks were open, but the store clerks were nowhere to be found. The escalators in the shopping mall were running as usual, going up and down, but there was no one on the escalators.
, at first glance it looks like entering a ghost town.
Like the supermarket, the temperature in the mall was very low and the heating was obviously turned off.
Yu Hanjiang's voice sounded in Xiao Lou's mind: "Follow me and go upstairs to take a look."
The two of them took the elevator upstairs together.
Second floor, third floor, fourth floor...
They were all empty and no one was in sight.
Xiao Lou said doubtfully in his mind: "In such a large shopping mall, there should be a lot of people at noon. As long as they are attacked, the Zerg will spread rapidly. Why can't even an infected person be seen? Where have they gone?
"
Yu Hanjiang frowned and said, "Something's not right here, be careful."
The two took the steps to the fifth floor.
Looking around, he still didn't see the infected person. At this moment, Xiao Lou's head suddenly felt cold, as if it was raining. He raised his head in confusion. The scene in front of him made Xiao Lou freeze suddenly, and all the hair on his body became cold.
To stand upright——
I saw that the ceiling on the fifth floor was densely crawling with people!
Some of them were wearing the clothes of shopping mall staff, and some were customers coming to the shopping mall, old people, young people, children, countless people, all crawling on the ceiling, motionless!
They were tightly together one after another, with their hands and feet clasped on the ceiling. The scarlet eyes on their heads were slightly protruding like the eyes of insects, and they were turning around greedily.
The scene of large humanoid infected crawling on the roof made Xiao Lou frightened. If these swarms of bugs suddenly jumped down from the ceiling, he and Yu Hanjiang would be instantly swamped by the bugs and there would be no way to escape!
Fortunately, the two of them walked in wearing invisibility cloaks. If the invisibility cloaks were not used to hide their figures and smells, the consequences would be disastrous.
When Yu Hanjiang saw this scene, his face suddenly darkened. He immediately hugged Xiao Lou and whispered in his mind: "Quickly leave!"
Xiao Lou turned around and followed Yu Hanjiang.
His heartbeat was so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest. Such a terrifying scene was more terrifying than any science fiction movie he had ever seen. The two of them quickly evacuated the mall. Yu Hanjiang took Xiao Lou Qinggong and flew up. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the food
city.
Different from the shopping mall where all the Zerg crawl on the ceiling, in the food city, all the Zerg crawl on the ground... The whole street is crawling with people, those people move slowly, their scarlet eyes scan around, seeming to be searching nearby
Is there any fish that slipped through the net?
The originally bustling food street has directly turned into the territory of the Zerg!
Xiao Lou didn't know how to evaluate it, so he said to Yu Hanjiang in his mind: "It seems that no one in the whole street has been spared. We can't go this way when we evacuate tomorrow."
Yu Hanjiang nodded and said, "Go back as soon as possible. Don't disturb them."
The number of Zerg is too scary. This dense crowd is more terrifying than the train station during the Spring Festival. What's more important is that they are all crawling on the ground or ceiling. The scene is simply the killer of trypophobia and makes people's scalp numb!
Yu Hanjiang led Xiao Lou back to the square quickly. The time for the invisibility cloak had not yet come, so he did not release the invisibility state. He only placed a gathering Kongming Lantern in the middle to call everyone over.
Shao Qingge, Ye Qi and Lao Mo also came back. Ye Qi asked in a low voice: "Captain Yu?"
Yu Hanjiang's deep voice sounded in his ears: "I'm here, how is the situation?"
Ye Qi came near the Kongming Lantern and reported: "We went to the Financial Building. There are a large number of companies in this office building. Countless white-collar employees are all infected and crowded in the lobby on the first floor!"
Lao Mo added: "Their bodies are almost touching each other. It's really disgusting to look at."
Humans prefer to give themselves some independent space. Crowded places, especially chest-to-back squeezing, can make humans irritable and restless. But Zerg are different. They like to be close to their companions, and they also like to crowd in large groups.
Being in the same space may make them feel more secure.
Xiao Lou analyzed: "Maybe they are squeezed together to facilitate upgrades?"
Ye Qi's lips trembled slightly: "It's terrible. There should be thousands of infected people in the hall. All the Zerg in the entire office building are gathered together, just like a Zerg conference. If we didn't wear invisibility cloaks and go in rashly, then
It’s definitely a dead end!”
Yu Hanjiang asked in a low voice: "Where are Liu Qiao and the others?"
Ye Qi said: "It seems you haven't come back yet?"
Everyone wears invisibility cloaks, so they cannot see each other and can only be distinguished by their voices.
Yu Hanjiang was worried about whether something would happen to Liu Qiao and the others, but within a minute, Qu Wanyue's voice sounded in his ears, and he trembled slightly: "Is everyone here?"
Yu Hanjiang said: "Here, how are you doing there?"
Qu Wanyue breathed a sigh of relief and said: "We originally wanted to jump up separately to check the situation of several residential buildings, but we didn't expect...all the infected people in the entire community were concentrated in the square within the community."
Liu Qiao said with a wooden face: "Moreover, the speakers in the square were still playing songs about mothers dancing in the square. It must have been that they didn't have time to turn them off in the evening. The community we went to should have more than 1,000 residents. A rough estimate is that the number of infected people
More than 2,000 people.”
Long Sen scolded: "These bugs are so perverted! Listening to the music of the square dance, lying motionless in the square of the community is like an illegal gathering. If there were no bugs moving, I would even
Doubt it, they will applaud and listen to the leader’s speech the next moment!”
Everyone: “…………”
Long Sen's joke was not funny, and everyone just felt embarrassed when they heard it.
Zerg are social animals and like to stay together in large groups.
Nowadays, it seems that there are not many surviving original residents in the central square area. Shopping malls, financial buildings, food courts and other places with high passenger flow have all been infected.
In residential areas, some residents who have not gone out today may survive for a few days if they hide in their homes with the doors and windows closed. However, they may not be able to live for a few days if they see thousands of people lying together in the square downstairs from their windows.
You'll be scared out of your mind.
Xiao Lou said solemnly: "Long Sen is right, there might actually be a leader among the insect swarms calling them together."
Everyone looked at Xiao Lou, who took a deep breath and whispered: "They gather in groups, maybe there is a leader giving them instructions for the next action, like when the ant colony is about to move,
The queen ant gives some instructions to the ants."
Ye Qi's eyes lit up: "That's right! The scene I saw in the Financial Building looked like a swarm of insects having a meeting!"
It seems that there will be a large-scale action by the Zerg tonight?
Just as he was thinking about it, Yu Hanjiang suddenly said: "It's dangerous, everyone evacuate quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately put his arms around Xiao Lou's waist and used Qinggong cards to fly Xiao Lou to the opposite street.
Other teammates also used displacement cards to escape.
The next moment... countless Zerg species suddenly came out!
Densely packed infected people poured out like a tide from shopping malls, food courts, financial buildings and other buildings. They got down on all fours, using both hands and feet, and crawled crazily towards nearby residential areas. The scene made Xiao Lou laugh.
They were terrified!
It turns out that the Zerg want to completely occupy this area. Currently, only the residential area has some fish that have slipped through the net. They don't want to let anyone go, so they decided to invade the area with a large army and surrounded the entire residential area in the blink of an eye.
Yu Hanjiang's face was extremely ugly: "Everyone go back and pack your things. We will leave here right away!"
While the bugs are attacking the residential area, they must evacuate as quickly as possible, otherwise, by tomorrow morning, the city center will have become a world dominated by the bugs, and they will have a difficult time.
Thinking of the serious consequences, everyone used displacement cards to quickly return to Lao Mo's decoration company.
Lao Mo opened the door, and everyone went in, picked up their schoolbags, picked up pesticides, lighters, medicine boxes and other supplies, and ran away directly under the leadership of Yu Hanjiang!
Chengdong District, logistics distribution center, I hope there won’t be too many infected people there...
