Chapter 331 It's Him Again!
After digging out all the crystal cores from the zombies, everyone packed up and prepared to return.
The high-level zombies that were chasing them had been killed by Song Chen. There was no need for them to stay here any longer. Besides, staying outside in the end of the world was also a very laborious thing. Their energy had been almost exhausted, and they all wanted to return to the base immediately to have a good rest.
Even Song Chen was no exception.
Dealing with large zombies and zombie kings in succession almost drained all his energy. At this moment, he missed the meals made by Ji Lu at home and the soft bedding.
On the way back, Lu Peng pestered Song Chen and asked curiously about the zombie king.
Song Chen answered most questions truthfully, but when faced with some questions, Song Chen would avoid the more serious ones.
"Brother Chen, what does the crystal core of the time system look like? Can we also see it?"
Song Chen picked a crystal core of the spirit system from the space and showed it to Lu Peng.
"It's this kind, similar to the spirit type, basically no color."
Lu Peng looked at the crystal core in Song Chen's palm.
The whole body is transparent, and you can only vaguely see the light passing through it, and you can't see anything else.
Of course, Lu Peng can't see anything because it's not the time system crystal core, but the time system crystal core itself is similar to the spiritual system, both of which are transparent. Song Chen did not lie about this.
After putting the crystal core back into the space, Song Chen began to lean back on the chair and close his eyes to rest.
Although the zombie king has been killed now, Song Chen did not say any information about the zombie king.
First, it is currently uncertain whether the end of the world will end after the death of the zombie king. Second, Song Chen wants to take the zombie king's body back to the base and give it to Lu Sheng for research and experiments. If this information is revealed, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble to the base.
In short, Song Chen plans to wait for a while before considering whether to announce it.
...
The modified off-road vehicle has a hard body and rushes all the way.
Although the zombies to be hunted down had been successfully dealt with, everyone was in a hurry to go back and rest, resulting in the return speed not much slower than the speed when hunting down the zombie king.
Song Chen leaned against the car window to observe the situation above his head, and then looked down at the time.
"It's getting late, let's find a suitable place to stay nearby, and we'll spend the night outside tonight."
Hearing Song Chen's words, everyone noticed that the sky had gradually darkened unconsciously, and the sun had already fallen halfway into the ground. In less than an hour, the whole sky would be completely dark.
Yang Lin recalled the road conditions when he came, and replied: "I remember there are several vacant buildings in front, let's find a suitable location there."
Following the location pointed by Yang Lin, it didn't take long before a row of buildings appeared in front of everyone.
They had passed here when they came, and even searched inside twice, but did not find any survivors or zombies. It was indeed a good place to stay.
After parking the car in a relatively safe place with no obstructions on all sides, everyone went upstairs to pack up and start resting.
According to convention, Song Chen was responsible for everyone's meals.
However, the food stored in the space had been eaten up, and in the end, they could only take out a few portions of self-heating rice and sausages and pickles.
For Song Chen, who usually had eight dishes and one soup, this might be a simple meal, but for others who could only eat dry food on weekdays, this was a precious delicacy that was not inferior to meals.
After eating and drinking, everyone arranged the order of night duty and prepared to rest.
Considering that Song Chen had just killed a high-level zombie, Yang Lin and others did not choose to let him take night duty, but let him have a good rest for a night.
Song Chen was embarrassed to refuse everyone's kindness, and finally nodded and agreed.
Night.
The sky was completely dark.
Everyone squeezed into the spacious living room to rest, and did not choose to sleep alone in the room.
After all, everyone was very tired, and even if they were in pairs, it was easy to make mistakes and cause danger, so everyone simply squeezed together.
One or two people could not notice it, but three or five people could always notice it.
Song Chen rested in the corner by the window.
This place not only allows observation of the situation outside, but also makes it easier to evacuate and transfer if there is any danger.
Logically speaking, Song Chen, who was exhausted after a day of hard work, should fall asleep in his sleeping bag, but for some reason, Song Chen always felt a strange feeling in his heart and couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he tried.
After tossing and turning, Song Chen simply left the sleeping bag and sat next to Yang Lin and He Chengji who were on duty.
"Can't sleep?"
Yang Lin had noticed Song Chen's situation a long time ago and couldn't help asking with concern.
"A little bit."
Song Chen nodded, staring at the night light in front of him in a daze.
He had long developed the habit of sleeping and waking up at any time, and this was the first time he couldn't sleep like this.
After all, in his previous life, he lived a lone wolf life in the apocalypse, with no one to help him watch the night. It was a very luxurious and naive idea to want to sleep well. Most of the time, he had to be on guard against zombies that might appear at any time, so real rest time was particularly precious.
In order not to waste every minute of rest time, Song Chen unknowingly developed the habit of falling asleep at any time.
Now he clearly can't see any danger nearby, nor can he sense any supernatural fluctuations around him, but he just feels that he is in a very dangerous environment and can't fall asleep no matter what.
"Did you find anything?" Song Chen turned around and asked.
Yang Lin didn't expect Song Chen to ask this question suddenly. He was slightly stunned and shook his head.
"No abnormality was found. What, do you feel something is wrong?"
"Nothing."
Song Chen shook his head and said nothing.
There is no supernatural fluctuation around, which means that there is not even an ordinary zombie nearby. How could there be danger?
Maybe he finally killed the zombie king and got rid of a worry. His mood changed but he couldn't adjust in time, so he couldn't fall asleep?
Since he couldn't sleep, he might as well stay here to keep watch.
Song Chen sat in the living room and was alert to the situation around him.
Anyway, as long as there is an abnormal situation, he can react immediately and don't have to worry too much.
Thinking of this, Song Chen's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
...
At the same time
A figure was standing on the rooftop in the distance, looking at the room where everyone was resting.
The pair of eyes filled with whites were staring at Song Chen, with terrifying hatred and malice in his eyes.
"It's him again!"
"This damn human!"
"You have ruined my plans time and time again, I will kill you with my own hands!"
