Chapter 69 - pick up a husband
The basement of the village committee is a zombie den.
It can be clearly seen from the outside of the village that it used to be a small gathering place. It was probably organized by the local villagers after the outbreak of the virus, but for some unknown reason, the villagers who hid in the basement still did not escape. through the shadow of this virus.
After observing for a while, Zhao Mu probably had an idea. He looked back at Pei Lu and said, “You wait for me here, I’ll go in and check the situation. Maybe there will be food and energy here.”
“Don’t–” Before Pei Lu’s words were finished, Zhao Mu had already dived in quickly.
Pei Lu was left squatting in the grass and scratching his cheeks anxiously.
…
Zhao Mu’s speed is very fast. At this time, the difference between the ability user and ordinary people is particularly obvious. He is moving quickly along the main road, fast and silent, like a rapid wind blowing, silent.
There is a large open space in the middle of the village. There are several cars parked in the open space. There are various types of vehicles, small pickups, vans… and even a tractor.
Zhao Mu twitched the corners of his mouth and opened the door of a seven-seater sedan a few times. This car was much better than the off-road vehicle they were driving. Zhao Mu skillfully removed the stitches and started the car, the engine beeped lowly, and the dashboard lights up.
After turning off the fire, Zhao Mu went to look at the other cars one by one. They all had gasoline in them, so he went to a nearby house to find a few bottles, collected the gasoline and put it in the back seat.
After doing this, Zhao Mu searched several nearby houses again. It didn’t take much time, but thinking of Pei Lu who was still waiting outside, he was worried, and he was ready to leave after counting things.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise behind him, as if something had collapsed. Zhao Mu turned his head in surprise, but saw the gate of the village committee fell to the ground, and groups of zombies rushed over with grim faces.
Zhao Mu’s pupils shrank, he quickly got into the car, turned the front of the car and rushed out, but these zombies seemed to have been hungry for a long time, and suddenly saw a living person, quickly roaring and chasing after him, the action was fast and the thief was fast, and several had already hung up. on the rear of the car.
Zhao Mu was in control of the steering wheel, and with a tail swing, he dropped a bunch of them, but a small group of extremely fast zombies chased after him.
The zombies here are much faster than the low-level zombies outside.
Zhao Mu’s face was dignified. He rolled down the window, held the steering wheel with one hand, and stretched out the window with the other. The slender fingers flickered with electric light, and the purple electric current traveled along the ground, hitting the front zombie with precision.
The zombies were scorched with flesh and blood, fell to the ground, and were then crushed by the zombies that rushed up from behind.
…
Pei Lu heard a loud noise in the distance, and his heart beat wildly uncontrollably. He didn’t want to hide anymore. He stood on the side of the road and looked anxiously. A black car came quickly, and a sudden brake stopped. in front of him.
“boarding!”
Zhao Mu knocked down another zombie. Before Pei Lu could sit down, he stepped on the accelerator and rushed out quickly.
Pei Lu stared at the zombies chasing behind the car in shock, “How do these zombies run so fast?”
Zhao Mu’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, his body had not fully recovered, and he could not bear to use his abilities one after another. Hearing Pei Lu’s question, he sneered, “It is estimated that it has evolved.”
Yes, zombies also evolve.
Seeing Pei Lu’s surprised expression, he remembered how surprised he was when he first met a mutant zombie.
Eight years have passed since the end of the world. Although their base is not large, it has been more than four years since they were established. That was the first time they encountered mutant zombies.
The zombie was thin and small, and on the surface it looked like an ordinary little girl.
It disguised as a lonely child and was rescued by his teammates. The child always lowered his head and looked extraordinarily timid. Zhao Mu didn’t pay much attention to it at the time, but the result was that the high-level zombie took advantage of it. Unprepared, they killed several people.
When he reacted, there were only six people left in a team of ten.
He is the strongest in the team, and of course he faces the zombies. It stands to reason that he is already an eighth-level ability user, and his strength is enough to crush ordinary zombies, but this mutant zombie has a different strength than him. Up and down, even higher than him.
He was injured accidentally during the battle, and the zombie didn’t take advantage of it, and finally left.
However, he was injured by zombies. After returning to the base, the high-level people were worried that he would be infected, but they did not dare to openly attack him. They could only use public opinion to force him to leave, and some even wanted to kill him.
And among these people, there are also former friends whom he saved with his life.
Fortunately, after he survived, Zhao Mu glanced at Pei Lu who was lying on the window, his icy expression softened a lot, and he asked in a warm voice, “Where do you want to go?”
“Ah?” Pei Lu stared at him blankly, then shook his head, “I don’t know.”
“I’ll go wherever you go.”
Zhao Mu raised his eyebrows, “You will go wherever I go?”
Pei Lu nodded quickly and looked at him pitifully.
Pei Lu rescued him, Zhao Mu couldn’t harden his heart when he saw his pitiful expression, so he turned his head and looked forward intently, his tone was cold and could not tell his emotions, “I have other things to do, wait until the recent Base, you can go down there, I will prepare food and source crystal for you.”
“…”
Why doesn’t this guy have any sympathy? !
He pretended to be so pathetic.
Pei Lu glared at him angrily and didn’t want to talk to him. He deliberately moved to the window and twisted his neck to look out the window, like I was angry and didn’t want to talk to you.
Zhao Mu glanced at him out of the corner of his eyes, and saw his bulging cheeks secretly laugh, and he was still a young man.
Silent all the way.
Pei Lu was full of sorrow to discuss with 666, “what if he really left me halfway qaq”
666 with a serious face, “Then we can only use the beauty trick~”
“…” Pei Lu slapped him, “Be serious, let’s get down to business.”
666 rolled his eyes, “Then what else can you do? You can’t beat him. If he throws you in any base, you’ll have to cry, make trouble, and hang yourself.”
Pei Lu frowned and stared at the window with a serious face, thinking about the success rate of crying, making trouble, and hanging himself.
Driving all the way, the car was unusually quiet. Zhao Mu glanced at him, only to see a melancholy back of his head. He wondered if the young man was still angry because of what he said just now. After thinking about it, he took it out from his pocket. A lollipop was handed to Pei Lu, “Candy?”
Pei Lu turned his head to look at the lollipop in his hand. After struggling for a while, he turned his head on purpose, “Don’t eat it.”
Zhao Mu chuckled and put the lollipop in his arms, “Eat it, just this one.”
Pei Lu looked down at the lollipop, his voice sounded a little pitiful, “don’t you drive me away? I knew you alone.”
Zhao Mu paused, and the car made an “S” shape and continued to drive forward. He didn’t dare to look at Pei Lu again. Every time he saw the wet eyes of the young man, he couldn’t help but soften his heart.
“I can do a lot of things. Although I’m a veterinarian, I can also see some simple diseases…” Pei Lu racked his brains to sell himself, “I also know how to do laundry and cook…”
Zhao Mu stared straight ahead, as if he hadn’t heard him at all.
“…”
After talking a lot, this person ignored him, and Pei Lu was a little angry and a little aggrieved.
The willfulness in his bones came out again, and he said angrily to Zhao Mu: “I don’t care, I won’t go anyway, I saved you, you have to be responsible to me.”
Zhao Mu: “…”
He turned to look at Pei Lu, and said word by word, “Is responsible for you?”
Pei Lu was a little lacking in confidence, and even more embarrassed when he saw it, he immediately forgot what he said, “I promise you have never heard of the life-saving grace?!”
“…” Zhao Mu gave him a meaningful look before slowly saying, “Well, then don’t leave.”
Pei Lu: “…”
Pei Lu: “?????”
He asked 666 with a confused look, “Why do I suddenly feel that something is wrong?”
666 was silent for a while, and said with a heavy voice: “Your language teacher must be very difficult.”
Is the life-saving grace used in this way? !
Pei Lu snorted in disapproval and ignored him. Since he’s already played a rogue, then the rogue is all right. Zhao Mu can’t throw him into a base in the middle of the night and run away by himself.
He figured it out on his own, took off the lollipop wrapper, and sucked the lollipop happily.
Zhao Mu watched him from the corner of his eye, and saw that he suddenly swept away the previous melancholy, and sucked a lollipop back and forth, and even his dry lips were moist and full, like a delicate flower waiting to be picked.
The Adam’s apple slid up and down, and the car suddenly became hot, and the air was filled with the sweet smell of strawberries.
