Metal ability.\n
This is a kind of ability they haven’t touched so far.\n
Judging from its medium alone, it is known that this ability has a more direct and powerful lethality than the fire and wood abilities.\n
And based on that zombie’s capability to manipulate abilities, his ability has evolved to a higher level than anyone in the room.\n
This fact makes a few people feel heavy, but this is not the point that Qiao Daye wants to say.\n</ins>\n\nAfter talking about the horrifying metal zombie, he said in a deep voice, “I found that when Xuanyuan and I were fighting against this zombie, we all got breakthroughs. This shows that we lack opponents and opportunities to use and improve our abilities… Jiang Tao, Liu Zhan, if you’ve ever faced that metal zombie, you can understand as well as me that bullets and knives can’t deal with him. Only by using abilities can you save your life. During this period, we have relied too much on the weapons in our hands, if we continue like this, we will not be able to adapt to the end of the world.”\n
He came to this conclusion.\n
Li Xuanyuan nodded in agreement. He opened his fingers, and in a moment, there were small vines growing around his fingers, like putting on a green glove, which could not be cut with a dagger.\n
Several plant seeds from Hucheng have been taken by him, hidden in his clothes, and used repeatedly until now. At this time, he felt the vitality of the seed more clearly, and the improvement of his proficiency to control his wood ability.\n
Jiang Tao was pleasantly surprised, “Xuanyuan, your ability is already so powerful? Great—”\n
His expression of joy froze because he suddenly remembered that Li Xuanyuan’s ability had been promoted to this level, yet he could not bear the blow of the metal ability zombie.\n
This can only mean that he, who stopped using his ability, and Liu Zhan, who has just triggered his ability, are not even that zombie’s opponents. This metal system zombie was the first zombie they could not fight against. In the future, there will only be more and more zombies whose abilities are higher than them and can’t be killed by bullets. If they still want to rush into the world with a gun, they will be eventually eliminated in this apocalypse.\n
Survival of the fittest is just that.\n
Gongsun Jing also said, “In fact, I also found out today. When I was treating Xuanyuan, every time I felt that my powers would be exhausted, but if I tried harder, I could still urge it. Although my ability hasn’t recovered yet, I already felt the process of continuous improvement. I believe that when I train more, my healing ability will be higher than before. At least, I can activate the injured nerves and let them regenerate.”\n
It was something she had never thought of before. If it wasn’t for the injury on Li Xuanyuan’s leg that forced her to break through, she couldn’t get to this step.\n</ins>\n\nWith that said, Gongsun Jing added in response to her current weak physical condition, “At the same time that I feel my ability is improved, I have a very strange feeling… like my brain is telling me that I am hungry, but what I need to add is not food calories, but a new thing. Drinking glucose and normal saline is effective for the recovery of the body, but I can feel that it’s not very helpful to the recovery of abilities. The restoration is very slow and needs to be supplemented by the new things I just mentioned.”\n
As a doctor, she can clearly capture what this feeling is, but she has no way to know what the excessive consumption of powers needs to be supplemented.\n
Li Xuanyuan and Qiao Daye said at the same time.\n
“Me too.”\n
“That’s how I feel!”\n
The three people saw hope because of their mutual agreement.\n
Qiao Daye said, “Although I don’t know what I need, I can figure out a way to fight that zombie. Maybe what we need is an opponent with equal or even better abilities to stimulate our potential and improve our powers, what do you think?”\n
After hearing this, Gongsun Jing and the others did not answer. They heard that Qiao Daye didn’t give up on the metal zombie, still wanting to fight.\n
Finally, Jiang Tao said, “This is also a way, we’ll figure out what to do when you get well. It’s impossible to stay at the level we are currently at. If we don’t advance now, we can only retreat. Even if we go back to the 24th division safely and find our comrades, it will only drag them down.”\n
Qiao Daye and Li Xuanyuan’s serious injuries have once again sounded the alarm for them.\n</ins>\n\nThe five of them lived with the expectations of the captain and the martyred comrades. Their lives were fought by their comrades, so they cherished their lives.\n
But in this world, one cannot live without fighting or being content with the status quo. Even if they can stay in a certain place and live until the time of natural death, then what is the difference between dying now? It’s better to kill a few more zombies when they can still fight, it’s also a contribution to the country and the people. It’s worthy of their uniform!\n
The tacit understanding in each other’s eyes made them extremely firm.\n
Hou Ying has a headache looking at them.\n
According to the current situation, except for Jiang Tao’s fire ability, which is more aggressive, and Qiao Daye’s speed ability, the other people’s abilities are not very aggressive.\n
Liu Zhan, who just regained consciousness, has awakened the water system ability. He has shown them just now. At present, it only has a thickness of a pinky finger and can only be thrown ten meters away, which has little more lethality than Gongsun Jing’s water system ability. But it doesn’t hurt when hit, let alone use it to deal with zombies.\n
Li Xuanyuan’s wood type ability is relatively strong, but it should be more defensive than offensive.\n
And he only had a hearing ability that was inferior to Qiao Daye’s five senses ability, and there was an eleven-year-old kid who didn’t have any ability… in any case, the future is uncertain.\n
The experience of these two days made him understand that even if the HaiYe Service Area and Yecheng were only three hours’ drive apart, he could not get there alone. Well, maybe with his “ability” of not knowing why he was ignored by zombies, he can successfully arrive at Yecheng. Then what? He can barely protect himself, but what can he use to protect Wang Hehe?\n
Thinking of his nephew, Hou Ying’s head hurts even more. Once again, he prayed in his heart that he would be well and safe.\n
It was also at this moment that Hou Ying had the idea of ​​teaming up with these people to spend the apocalypse together for the first time.\n
In order to take care of the two patients, they no longer concentrated in one room but used the next room. Hou Ying, Liu Zhan, and Meng Hanghai moved to the next door. Gongsun Jing took care of them at any time, while Jiang Tao stayed there to prevent accidents.\n
To be fair, Liu Zhan is a very easy person to get along with.\n
With Hou Ying’s communication skills, he quickly became acquainted with the other party. At the same time, Hou Ying can also feel that Liu Zhan belongs to the kind of people who are cheerful on the surface but are very defensive. It can be seen from the fact that Meng Hanghai, who was the first to discover that he woke up, is always reluctant to get close to him, a child’s world view of black and white can reveal many things.\n
But in any case, they are just strangers who have just met each other. It is not easy to have the goodwill of peaceful coexistence, and they can’t force more.\n</ins>\n\nHe doesn’t know whether he was frightened by Qiao Daye and Li Xuanyuan’s injuries but at night, Meng Hanghai had nightmares. Hou Ying was very tired but couldn’t fall asleep because of worries, so he hugged the whimpering child for a long time. After Meng Hanghai fell asleep, he couldn’t hold back dozing off, not knowing that Liu Zhan stared at them for a long time in the dark and didn’t relax his vigilance.\n
They don’t know if it’s because of Gongsun Jing’s improvement, or because of the strong resilience of an ability user, with such a serious injury, it only took two days of recuperation for Li Xuanyuan and Qiao Daye to be alive and kicking.\n
On the contrary, Gongsun Jing, who had not recovered, looked more like a patient. Seeing that they were able to fight, she relaxed and fell asleep completely. Jiang Tao was also sent out to guard. Qiao Daye and Li Xuanyuan were left in the room. Hou Ying was in the kitchen listening to the two people ridiculing each other, but suddenly heard Li Xuanyuan’s painful grunt.\n
Qiao Daye finally seizes the opportunity and punches the defenseless Li Xuanyuan so hard that he bows down and falls on his knees.\n
He forcefully grabbed Li Xuanyuan’s neckline, lowered his voice, and cursed fiercely, “Your fucking brain is covered in shit! Who told you to point your gun at yourself! Who made you want to kill yourself! You want to give up before you’re desperate! Trash! Coward!”\n
Li Xuanyuan did not say a word until Qiao Daye tried to pull off the “last bullet” he had hung up again, he pushed him away and stood up. He pointed to the bullet sticking to his chest and resolutely said to Qiao Daye, “This is not a death bullet, it is the last dignity of a soldier.” He stared at him and asked him, “You understand, don’t you?”\n
“I understand shit! Fuck! It’s all fucked up!”\n
Qiao Daye’s voice was a little out of control, but it soon went down.\n
He didn’t want to disturb others, but he couldn’t stand the pain, so he choked and said, “The captain is like this, and you are also like this! How happy it is to die, leaving all the pain to the living is nonsense! Don’t say you didn’t blame the captain, don’t say you didn’t hate yourself because you can’t save him, now, you want to double the pain on me, let me bear it alone?! It’s easy for you to say, what is not to be a burden, what’s keeping you alive, it’s all bullshit! Whether I die or survive, you’ll know shit then!”\n
Bastard, all bastards!\n</ins>\n\nLi Xuanyuan listened to his venting, his heart was also touched.\n
He remembered that the captain concealed the fact that he had been bitten by the zombies and tried his best to rush out of the zombie circle with them—but just when they were happy to escape, the captain chose the bullet hanging around his neck to end his life.\n
It’s less than ten days since the end of the world, but they have already suffered unbearable pain.\n
Qiao Daye wiped away his tears and went to the bathroom to wash his face, and then went downstairs to the kitchen to beg Hou Ying for food. After he is satisfied, he goes out and stops. He later thought of Hou Ying’s hearing ability—he also had the five senses ability, he knew very well that in this hotel, there was no sound that could not be heard by the hearing ability.\n
He whispered to Hou Ying, who was talking and laughing freely, “Don’t tell Jiang Tao about that.”\n
Hou Ying knew what he meant and nodded solemnly. Qiao Daye regained his smile, patted his shoulder, and said, “Brother Hou, I am so lucky to have you here.”\n
Then he winked at Hou Ying.\n
Grateful without saying thanks.\n
Although it’s unexpected that Hou Ying will come to rescue them alone, fortunately, the ordinary survivor they saved is so kind and reliable. With Hou Ying’s ability, it must have been very clear that they had come to a dead-end at that time, and what kind of scene they were facing. If Hou Ying does not come to the rescue or hesitates, he might be able to survive, but Xuanyuan…\n
He was grateful to Hou Ying. At this moment, he really regarded Hou Ying as his brother, a comrade-in-arms who he could entrust his life with or sacrifice for.\n\n
