Chapter 97 Mushrooms Are Causing Zombies
"So you are here!"
As the clouds and fog dissipated, sunlight finally shone into R City, improving air quality and allowing those who entered to see things more clearly.
Xiao Moqiong was driving when he glanced in the rearview mirror and realized that the car following him had disappeared sometime earlier.
He quickly braked and pulled the car over to the side of the road. Looking back, all he saw were mangled zombie remains and scattered abandoned vehicles.
"That's to be expected, the fog was so thick just now, they lost track of them."
They went back and searched for a long time before finding a few people.
Just then, I saw several people confronting two zombies.
"Is it a zombie?"
"Roar—?" Is it a human?
Before the female zombie could explain anything to Meng Xiaoyou, her earth-based powers erupted, creating a large hole. She and the mist-like zombie clinging to her leg plunged headfirst into the earth. By the time Xiao Moqiong and the others arrived, the hole had already been filled in.
Xiao Moqiong glanced around and saw that Meng Xiaoyou and the others had only changed their clothes and had no signs of injury. He breathed a sigh of relief. "Were those two just level four zombies? I saw your car was gone when I looked in the rearview mirror. Are you alright?"
The other superhumans behind him exclaimed in surprise, "A fourth-tier zombie? Brother Xiao, you're only at the late stage of level three! What if we encounter one and can't defeat it?"
The Moonlight Base is so large, and they've only encountered a fourth-tier zombie once. Their village is peaceful and undisturbed, and this is the first time they've seen one.
Xiao Moqiong: "..."
He turned his head and asked, "What's my name?"
The superhuman was stunned. "Xiao Dong... He Xi... no, Xiao Moqiong."
Xiao Moqiong's lips twitched, and his forehead darkened slightly. "Don't underestimate a young man's potential. So what if I'm only level three? If I encounter a level four zombie and can't beat it, can't I at least run away?"
Everyone: "..." What a hasty retreat.
"Alright, it's getting late. Let's hurry up and search. Maybe we can get back before dark. If not, we'll just have to find a place to sleep here for the night."
Compared to Zhuangzi, it was safer in the unfamiliar R City, so the group of superhumans quickly took action.
Meng Xiaoyou glanced regretfully at the spot where the female zombie had left, tugged at Pei Sinian's sleeve, and was about to speak when she suddenly noticed that the man's expression was strange; beneath his calm and handsome exterior, there was an unspeakable terror.
She instinctively pulled her hand back, but the man grabbed it. He turned his face away, as if nothing had happened, and said calmly, "Go find the zombies."
Meng Xiaoyou was taken aback: "You know what I'm going to do?"
Pei Sinian curled his lips into a sneer, his tone icy, "Go ahead and look, I don't mind."
"..."
Tang Shengnan listened quietly from the side, not following along to become a third wheel.
With no zombies nearby, Meng Xiaoyou and her companions moved away from the edge of the city and ventured further in. Occasionally, they would encounter a couple of small fish or shrimp, but Meng Xiaoyou didn't mind. She would pick up her small shovel, slap a zombie until it was stunned, and then use her superpower to read minds.
Once a level one zombie regains consciousness, it has no memory and cannot significantly improve its abilities.
Meng Xiaoyou dared not go to places with too many zombies, so she could only target lone zombies.
An hour or two passed, and they had successively killed thirty or forty lone zombies, mostly second-tier ones, expanding the space to about forty square meters.
Meng Xiaoyou was so excited that she wanted to wipe out all the zombies, but unfortunately, there were only two of them, and they didn't dare to fight the zombie horde.
The exploited zombies looked dazed and not very bright.
Throughout the entire process, Pei Sinian followed behind, keeping a one-meter distance, without saying a word. Meng Xiaoyou asked him what was wrong.
He simply tugged at the corner of his lips and calmly replied, "I'm fine, don't worry about me."
"..."
Pei Sinian is keeping a low profile; he must be plotting something.
Meng Xiaoyou looked wary: "What do you want to do?"
Pei Sinian snapped his fingers and said, "Go play."
Mushroom covered its forehead, looking aggrieved, and went to play with the zombie.
However, they did not forget the time, and an hour later, they returned to the place where they had parted ways.
Unexpectedly, a gunshot rang out from that direction, and the mushroom exploded, darting to Pei Sinian and hanging from his body.
Pei Sinian patted her frizzy hair and led her back to meet up with the others.
Following the sound of gunfire, we arrived at a large hotel.
Upon entering, there was no one there, only scattered remains of corpses and dried bloodstains.
The sound was coming from somewhere below the kitchen.
There's a basement in the back kitchen, where the temperature is below minus twenty degrees Celsius, and the two sides have already started fighting at the entrance.
"Bullshit! I was the one who found it first. Who gave you the nerve to talk back? I just won't let you, what are you going to do about it?"
Meng Xiaoyou recognized the voice; the first voice belonged to Sister Tang, while the second was unfamiliar, and the person spoke softly.
"What this young lady is saying makes no sense. It's the apocalypse, so naturally, whoever has the ability gets it. Are you from R City? Why don't you go to Moonlight Base?"
Tang Shengnan sneered: "None of your business. First come, first served. It's my skill that I found it. With so many places, can't you search other places?"
Another person sighed: "How about we cooperate? I can introduce you to Moonlight Base. It's better than living in fear outside."
There was also a gentle male voice: "Lan Yue, you are still too kind. She is so wild, and you still want to take her back to the base."
"After all, we are all fellow human beings, and we should save as many as we can."
After the woman finished speaking, she said to Tang Shengnan, who was guarding the cold storage door, "You can't take all of these by yourself, and even if you did, you wouldn't be able to preserve them."
Tang Shengnan looked her up and down and sneered, "So what? You think you can take it?"
Su Lanyue nodded and said confidently, "I have spatial abilities. Although I can't take everything, I can at least take half. I can come back for the rest tomorrow."
In the apocalypse, spatial abilities are extremely rare; you can't find another one like it in the entire City B.
Su Lanyue remembered that in her previous life, other beginner-level spatial ability users only began to appear one after another in the later stages of the apocalypse.
The storage space is also smaller than hers, so it can't hold much stuff.
She believed her superpower had evolved rapidly, now reaching level three, making it easy for her to put down half of the contents of a cold storage room.
However, she wouldn't give up the remaining food.
After all, in my previous life, the apocalypse had lasted for three whole years and was still not over.
In the following years, human living space shrank further, and life became even more difficult.
If all of these were given to her, she might be able to make ends meet for a year by saving every penny. She could figure out how to manage the other years when she had more options.
The immediate issue is to deal with this annoying woman in front of us.
When she came to City B, the Su family was worried about her and hired six powerful superhumans for her. Mu Qingfeng, a fourth-level wind-type superhuman, was also by her side. If they were to fight her head-on, this woman would be no match for her.
Just as Su Lanyue was about to say something, she suddenly heard a noise behind her and looked over warily.
Two figures came down the stairs.
