Chapter 403 There is such an ability
The temperature in the three northern provinces is getting lower and lower, and we have experienced the catastrophe of the zombie army. We have not encountered bandits or small camps on the way.
But when Gu Yu discovered a new mark, my luck mentality collapsed a little bit, and we found more graves. Those names made my mind heavy and my chest felt like a ball of cotton was blocked.
I counted the number of dead people and kept subtraction until the number hit zero, and I closed my eyes dejectedly.
The ordinary people in the small town almost died, saying that it was because except for my parents, all the ordinary people died under the clutches of this unknown disease.
Judging from the location of the last grave, the disease appeared after they left the town. The most people died in the first few days, but later it gradually decreased.
The last batch of infected people were buried outside Bell City and the last ordinary survivors in the small town.
Is nature really going to kill all human beings?
I was deeply saddened, not only for the survivors who died in the small town, but also for the future of mankind.
"My parents must be alive, Long Tao and A Ying will protect them."
"I know."
Erha suddenly sighed when she heard the conversation between Gu Yu, with a lonely expression and unconcealed sadness in her eyes.
We walked back to the small town. Through the treatments these days, Erha had basically recovered and was shaken by her loyalty to Lan Jingjing. We didn't mention saving her anymore. We just stared at the sky often, not knowing what we were thinking.
"Do you have a place to go?" I wanted to know Erha's plan, so I asked.
Although the blows over the past few days have not made me feel discouraged, I have lost interest in many things.
Now that Erha has recovered, if he doesn't want to continue to rescue Lan Jingjing, we don't need to act together.
"No, home, family, camp, friends... are all gone."
I suddenly understood why he had just shown such a sad expression. Gu Yu asked him about the past. After the outbreak of the end of the world, his family mutated into zombies. He and his colleagues were trapped in the company at that time. He regretted working overtime that day, but he did not see his family for the last time.
Later, he ran home desperately. His parents were bitten by zombies while escaping from the house. He was rescued by neighbors and met two friends in a camp established by the military.
Unsurprisingly, their camp was finally submerged by a group of zombies, and he escaped alone to hide.
During this period, he also joined other camps and teamed up with others to hunt in the wild, but in the end he was the only one who survived.
He met the migrating Xindu team halfway through. He was so hungry that he couldn't stand it. He wanted to steal some food, but was killed by someone, and Lan Jingjing happened to see it.
The place where he met the Xindu team was not far from He City, and it was also close to Su Country. Perhaps Xindu hid in Su Country to avoid the tide of corpses.
In fact, they may also flee to Bangzi Island, but it is estimated that there are not fewer zombies there than in China. The Su country is vast and sparsely populated. If you want to avoid it for a while, you will naturally choose the Su country.
"What are the plans for the future?"
"Take one step at a time."
"Are you going to save Lan Jingjing?"
"I want to watch her die."
"I understand, but you know very well what new things are, there is no need to be so angry."
Erha nodded, fell silent, and began to look up at the sky again.
Gu Yu and I exchanged a look. We did not deliberately ask about Erha's superpowers, and there was no chance for him to use them along the way.
We decided to go to Bar Autonomous Region to find our parents. Originally, Erha would follow him, but now he has completely recovered and has given up the idea of rescuing Lan Jingjing. Then we have to face the problem of staying or leaving.
Erha's surname is Ha. His ancestors were a bannerman. His hometown is in Ji Province. His real name is Hashan.
"We are going to Bar Autonomous Region, do you want to be with us?"
"Can you go to your camp?"
I looked at Gu Yu and saw that he had no objection, so I nodded: "Okay, if I can find them."
Although Ha Shan was in a bad state, he could still listen to the advice and take him to the Bar Autonomous Region first than to throw him out.
We used teleportation to the outskirts of Bell City, to the river where the graves were discovered, and then continued walking, fearing that we would miss the mark left by Long Tao.
Something bad happened. After a large number of ordinary survivors died, we discovered the grave of the superpower.
But the cause of death behind the tombstone this time is not an unknown disease, and these people died from the attacks of mutant beasts and plants.
Long Tao specifically stated that they died of accidents and accidental care. I breathed a little relieved and my tense nerves relaxed.
As long as the virus has an infection range, or it only infects a certain group, the others will be safe for the time being.
Qiu Dehai did not lie in his description of the future, I must recognize this fact.
Since no human can survive in the future, the role of Xindu vaccine is particularly important.
Once it is determined that the vaccine they developed is a parasitic butterfly, the "future" that Dr. Qiao and others see will become the present.
Although a small city cannot represent the whole world, and the changes in a small city cannot represent the world's progress, it is a microcosm of the world, composed of ordinary people, psychics and advanced zombies.
Nowadays, except for my parents, all ordinary people have died of illness, there are only two possibilities in front of us.
First, the mortality rate of the virus is not 100%. My parents have their own antibodies, and second, they are no longer ordinary people.
In any case, the number of ordinary people is decreasing greatly, and at this moment, I have no choice but to whether my parents can retain their identity as ‘human’.
As long as they can survive and retain memory and reason, or take a step back, as long as they can maintain their reason.
Thinking about this may be selfish, and of course the right to choose is still in the hands of parents, but before choosing, they must have a choice.
I decided that if the vaccine developed by Xindu is really a parasitic butterfly, I must get some. As for whether to use it, I will leave it to my parents for their own decisions.
We and Old Joe and Tom were in the south for so long, and they were both healthy, so the bad news in the small town seemed to have given me a blow and made my mind mess.
However, I couldn't help anyone in the dark mood. I was extremely grateful to Gu Yu for his silent company. He understood me, and many things could only be thought through myself. Once I figured it out, I would naturally come out.
I told myself to think about it better, after all, there are still many people who survive. Except for those who are sick and die accidentally, most psychics and advanced zombies are alive.
We did not find any graves again within one hundred kilometers of the Bar Autonomous Region, which is good news.
"Wait, I sensed it!" My mental tentacles sensed brain wave activity, and more than one.
Gu Yu looked at me, and at this time Erha suddenly shouted: "Look."
In fact, we can see without him reminding us that a red light rose from above the city of Bar Autonomous Region. I recognized that it was a ball of light emitted by the signal gun.
There are indeed people in the city!
After being excited, I immediately calmed down. Having brain wave activity does not mean that the other party is ours.
The launch of signal flares may not be because Zhou Li saw us and wanted to tell us that they were there.
Gu Yu pulled me up and grabbed Erha again. We crossed the road and teleported to the edge of the city.
The buildings here are not tall and the scenery is picturesque. The city is located on the grassland in winter, like reliefs on snow walls.
If Long Tao and the others were launching the signal flare, we should be able to feel the shield of the ancient formation at the location where we are standing at this moment.
"No, it's not them." My black cloud condensed into dozens of tentacles and looked left and right. One of them touched the building closest to us, but did not encounter any resistance.
Using the ancient great formation method, Gu Yu taught Long Tao before leaving. If they chose to settle here, they would definitely use the great formation to protect this.
On the way we came, we didn’t find glass products. I originally thought that it was because the view on the grassland was wide and it was not convenient to place glass products. First, it was easy to be discovered, and second, it was not good at the perspective.
Now it seems that I am thinking too much, Long Tao and Zhou Li are not here at all.
But there are graves of survivors in small towns on the road, and there is no fork on this route, which means we are right. They originally planned to settle in the Bar Autonomous Region.
So what is the reason for them to give up entering the city again?
Is it because someone has occupied this place?
"It's better to confirm it." Gu Yu said as he looked at the falling signal flare.
"Okay, Hashan, you're waiting for us to come back here. If we don't come back in an hour, go south and go to Zobar to try your luck."
Zobar is also an autonomous region. It is southwest of Bell City, closer to Bell City than the Barr Natural Area.
However, the Barn Natural Area has relatively abundant water resources and is more suitable for a large number of survivors to settle down, and he has only one person, and he goes almost the same everywhere.
"I want to go with you." Ha Shan frowned and sniffed into the air twice, and said firmly.
"Your superpower is to enhance your sense of smell?" I asked. Long Tao can see viruses in the air, but he cannot prevent ordinary survivors from being infected with unknown diseases. Even if Ha Shan's sense of smell is against the sky and encounters real danger, he will not be able to help.
"No, I will transform."
"Transform? Turn into someone else's appearance?"
"You look."
Ha Shan said as he stretched out his arms forward, his shoulders contracted, and made a "punch".
Then I saw a "huge" husky appearing in front of us. The hair on the back is black, and the belly and limbs are white, but his eyes are not blue, but black. Ha Shan, who turned into a big dog, stared at me with a fierce look on his face.
I suddenly felt six points floating above my head. It was OK to say that this was a superpower, but what is its advantages and power?
But since someone showed it to us, I couldn't hurt people. I nodded and said tactfully: "It's okay, it's quite special."
Gu Yu was not as tactful as me. He directly stretched out his index finger and pointed at the ground where Hashan was stepping on his forelimbs, and ordered: "Sit down and wait for us to come back."
The clothes that Ha Shan wore before were still hung on him. The size of his transformation was like an adult tiger. The clothes were hung on him without making a big appearance. The big dog's head was exposed outside the collar.
I felt that Gu Yu's actions were a bit disrespectful. He just wanted to speak for Ha Shan, but he sat down obediently, his sharp ears trembled twice, looking like a good baby.
"Uh..." I opened my mouth and swallowed back what I wanted to say, and then thought of another question: "What if we can't come back, what should he do if he has been waiting here?"
"He just can transform, not exactly a dog." Gu Yu said: "This is his superpower, and it should be able to switch."
"Then why doesn't he change back?"
"Maybe there is a limit, it will last for a while once."
"Huh, the reversal is too sudden. Let's go quickly and try to go quickly and return quickly."
Before teleportation, I looked back at Ha Shan and made sure that he was still sitting there, so I felt relieved to leave with Gu Yu.
Ha Shan’s transformation ability made me feel relieved. Before, he was hypnotized by Lan Jingjing, he would have acted like a big dog. Who knew that after the hypnosis was relieved, he would have been more thoroughly "dog"!
The question is what else can his transformation ability besides being cute?
