Chapter 17 Inexplicable Faith
There is a convenience store somewhere on a narrow street leading to Tenryuji Temple. Several survivors are hiding here. One of them is lying on the window and looking out, frowning deeply.
"I don't know what happened. More and more zombies are gathering here. It seems that we can't get out."
The speaker was a dark-faced young man named Xu Xiaopeng, who was the youngest among them.
Hearing Xu Xiaopeng's words, an uncle next to him responded relaxedly: "If you can't get out, you can't get out. It's good for us to hide in this convenience store. There are food and drinks here. It's very safe."
The speaker was Huo Yading, a veteran. I heard that he used to be a company commander in the army, but he offended the leader and was fired.
Just after Huo Yading finished speaking, Xu Xiaopeng was not happy, and said angrily: "We have been trapped here for several days, and the food and water will be consumed soon. What will we do then?"
Huo Yading was at a loss for words, and after a while, he hesitated and responded: "The big deal is that we should eat less, and change from two meals a day to one meal."
Xu Xiaopeng looked at Huo Yading's reluctance to make progress, and his teeth itch with hatred.
Ever since Huo Yading was expelled from the army, his spirit was not good. He was listless in everything he did and gave up on himself.
Xu Xiaopeng knew that he could not reach an agreement with Huo Yading, so he turned his head to look at a young woman next to him, and asked, "Sister Lanyun, what do you think? Stay here and die or rush out?"
This is a very beautiful woman who looks about fifteen or sixteen years old. Her long black hair is tied neatly behind her head, giving her a very cool beauty.
Unlike other survivors, even in this difficult end of the world, she still kept her clothes clean and spotless, and she didn't know how to do it.
Xu Xiaopeng and Huo Yading turned their eyes to Lan Yun at the same time, hoping that she could give a final answer.
Lanyun's beautiful eyes flickered, she didn't intend to answer, she stood up gently, and came to the window sill.
"Didn't you hear something?"
The cold words came out, as if they didn't have the slightest smell of human fireworks, they just rang out so abruptly.
Xu Xiaopeng and Huo Yading were startled at the same time, and they looked at each other, feeling a little bewildered, because they didn't hear anything.
Lanyun just stood there quietly, she didn't speak, and the two of them didn't dare to disturb, the room became strangely quiet.
About five minutes later, bursts of roars came from a distance, making the two people in the room startled.
"Sure enough, there was a sound, but she heard it so early. How did she do it?"
The two couldn't figure out why Lanyun had such keen hearing. Xu Xiaopeng quickly climbed up the window sill, looked out the window through the gap, and immediately showed an expression of disbelief.
"There is a person who is chopping up zombies!"
Xu Xiaopeng's eyes were full of surprise, and he faltered and faltered when he spoke, which immediately surprised Huo Yading.
What does it mean that someone is chopping up zombies? It should be zombies chasing people.
While speaking, Huo Yading hurried to Xu Xiaopeng's place, looked in the direction of the sound through the gap above the window, and was stunned.
I saw a young man standing among a large group of zombies. He didn't know what kind of weapon he was holding in his hand. Every time he swung a large number of zombies' heads, he was like a zombie harvester.
This surprise is no small matter. You must know that in people's impressions, the fighting power of zombies is far superior to that of ordinary people. After all, zombies will die only if their heads are blown up. Soon there will be a corpse change and become a zombie.
Under the ebb and flow, there are fewer and fewer human beings, and more and more zombies.
And that young man,
It is simply impossible to kill groups of zombies with one's own strength.
"I must be dazzled, it must not be true."
Huo Yading muttered to himself, what happened in front of him has far exceeded his cognition.
Xu Xiaopeng's eyes were shining brightly, and there was an inexplicable passion in his heart. He said with great joy: "He must be a superman. God sent him to save us. If we don't leave now, let's rush out!"
While speaking, Xu Xiaopeng was about to open the door, wanting to rush out, looking impatient.
"return!"
The cold words came out, and immediately startled Xu Xiaopeng, who was eager to try, he turned his head hastily, his eyes were full of puzzlement.
Lanyun didn't have the slightest mood swings, and said cold words again: "He is not a superman, but an evolutionary, and his strength should have reached the second level."
"Second-stage evolutionary!"
Huo Yading's eyelids twitched wildly. Although there was no news about the evolutionists here, he still heard a little bit about them, and knew that they were a group of powerful existences whose physical ability surpassed that of ordinary people.
He wished so much that he could also become an evolutionary, but hiding in this convenience store, he never realized this wish.
Xu Xiaopeng showed a trace of doubt in his eyes. He came to this convenience store later, and because he had little contact with people, he hadn't heard of the Evolutionary at this time.
Lan Yun's tone was still cold, and she explained: "Evolvers are new human beings who surpass ordinary people by mobilizing their potential in battle. They are not afraid of zombie viruses and have powerful power to kill zombies."
Hearing Lanyun's explanation, Huo Yading suddenly froze, and said mockingly: "It turns out that I need to stimulate my potential in battle. I thought that sitting here, I would become an evolutionary one day."
"There is no such thing as a free lunch, how can one gain superior power without paying a sufficient price?"
When Lanyun said these words, Gujing Wubo's eyes suddenly turned dark and cold, as if something brought back the past and made her murderous.
Xu Xiaopeng didn't notice Lan Yun's subtle changes. At this time, his blood was surging, his heart was full of passion, and he said excitedly: "This is a man. I want to become an evolutionary like that big brother."
Xu Xiaopeng clenched his fists tightly, and his whole body was filled with infinite fighting spirit. Looking at the figure in the distance, infinite admiration emerged from the bottom of his heart.
Lan Yun's mood returned to the calm state of Gujing Wubo again, she whispered to the two of them: "Go and prepare, bring all the food and water, we are going to rush out with that person."
Xu Xiaopeng was startled when he heard Lan Yun's words, and then showed great joy.
Huo Yading gave a wry smile, and could only follow Lan Yun's orders. Xu Xiaopeng was right, and he could only wait for death if he stayed here all this time.
On the street, when Lu Fan was fighting with a red flame halberd, a mechanical system voice suddenly sounded: "Congratulations, Xu Xiaopeng's faith has reached 100%."
Lu Fan, who was killing the zombies quickly, was taken aback for a moment. He looked at the system message that just appeared inexplicably, and said to himself, "What the hell is going on? Could it be that there are still people in this place where the birds don't shit?"
