An hour later.
"Squeak."
The motorcycle skidded to a stop.
Lin An made a sudden emergency brake, with a serious expression.
Not far away, a pile of corpses occupied the entrance to the city, but strangely, there were no zombies around.
Wen Ya was awakened by the noise, with sleepy eyes.
Lin An didn't say anything and made a sudden stop, her chin collided with Lin An's back, and she was hit pretty hard.
"Ouch... It hurts."
How hard!
Is this guy made of stone?
Wen Ya couldn't help but tease in her mind, such an unromantic guy.
Lin An slightly turned his head, without any feeling.
His current physical strength is 14.4, let alone impact.
Even if ordinary people use cold weapons in a hurry, they can't even scratch his skin.
The scene in front of him was really strange.
He decided to activate the Judgment Eye and quickly check it out.
A large number of humans died on the scene, forming a pile of corpses into a mountain, but there were no zombies present.
This strange phenomenon made him have to be cautious.
"Scan complete."
The Judgment Eye scanned all the information in a very short time.
"Survivors: 0."
"Zombies: 0."
"Damaged vehicles: 11,219 vehicles..." .....
The pile of corpses was about ten meters high and was made up of at least 10,000 bodies.
Road entrances, fences, and even inside cars had a few scattered corpses.
On the ground, some partially eaten pieces of flesh were a dark red color, indicating they had been there for a while.
A few meters away from the pile of corpses, some shattered corpses were surrounded in a circle.
Lin An made sure there were no threats nearby before cautiously approaching the most peculiar circle of corpses.
What was this?
Lin An took a few steps and arrived at the shattered corpses in front of him.
With a serious expression.
The shattered corpses had clean cuts, and the muscle tissue inside was almost turned into a puddle of meat.
It was not the result of an explosion or physical attack.
Lin An lowered his head and pondered, feeling a faint sense of unease in his heart.
He looked back at the pile of corpses and compared it to the piece of meat in his hand.
The top of the pile of corpses was flattened, indicating that something had stood on it.
Something that could cause such damage.
Lin An repeatedly compared the memory in his mind and quickly came to a conclusion.
The mark of a spiritual impact!
Only a spiritual impact could achieve such effects.
Lin An felt a chill down his spine.
A spiritual impact is a combat technique that at least third-stage awakeners or mutants can master.
With such a wide range and indiscriminate attack.
It might not even be limited to third-stage!
What could it be?
Lin An was confused.
It shouldn't be.
Either awakeners or mutant zombies.
Third-stage rank should not appear in the early stages of the game.
In his previous life, the first third-stage existence he was aware of appeared at least six months into the game.
That third-stage "Zombie King" appeared on that day and led a million zombies in destroying a large safe base.
Over 100,000 casualties.
In the end, the military used a large number of tactical missiles to eliminate it.
Individuals of such headache.
Behind her, Wenya's steps were heavy and her face was pale.
The shock of the pile of corpses before her was too great.
"Lin'an City... Are there any living people left?"
This intersection was the only exit from Lin'an City.
If this route was blocked and many survivors were killed in a brutal manner, it meant that no one could leave the city at the moment.
Wenya spoke hopelessly to Lin An.
Although all players were forced to input some information about the post-apocalyptic game after the game began, knowing and seeing were two different things.
She had thought it was just like a movie where zombies appeared.
But after seeing at least 10,000 corpses piled up into a mountain, she suddenly realized that this world might not be so simple.
"Yes," Lin An answered briefly after a moment of silence.
There are at least two million survivors in the city center of Lin'an now.
But that's not a good thing.
Because it means that one week later, there will be more than one million zombies in Lin'an City.
He knew what Wenya really wanted to know.
It was nothing more than whether she might have parents or relatives still in the city.
Wenya opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she chose to give up.
"Let's go," Lin An turned back.
Wenya's mood was somewhat low, with sadness in her eyes.
She turned the car around.
Lin An chose a different route of advance, avoiding the suspected three-stage mutant.
He wanted to avoid it if possible.
The strength of the three-stage mutant was so great that if they met, there would be no chance to escape.
"Where are we going next?"
Wenya sat on the back seat after a long time, asking.
"Flower shop," Lin An's words were as brief as always. .......
Star Flower Shop.
At the entrance of the flower shop, scattered flowers were trampled into dirty mud.
A few zombies were munching on the half-corpse on the ground, the lower body of which was wearing a short skirt, looking like a young girl.
Greedy and delicious, they tore off a piece of meat and chewed it carefully.
The shop door was locked, and the metal roll-up door was pulled down.
Not far away, a black motorcycle carrying two people sped up to the scene.
On the second floor of the flower shop, a middle-aged woman looked at the zombies trampling the flowers in front of the shop, with a look of heartache on her face.
When the apocalypse broke out, this shop was located in a remote area with few zombies, which allowed her to survive by chance.
However, as a street-facing shop, there was no other exit except the main entrance.
Trapped on the second floor, she dared not go down the stairs.
The monster at the door made her have no desire to go out, but there was no food in the shop, and she knew that she could not last for long.
"Ka!"
The motorcycle roared, and Lin An drove up.
Someone has arrived! ?
She saw someone coming and quickly opened the window and shouted loudly.
"Help! Save me! There's a monster at my door!"
"Roar!"
The zombie in front of the store heard the noise and immediately raised its head with bloodshot eyes, growling.
The flower shop owner screamed and quickly crouched down behind the window, hiding.
Lin An looked up and noticed that the flower shop owner was no longer there.
He didn't care and jumped off the car directly, heading towards the flower shop.
"Let's finish this quickly!"
Before entering the city, Lin An had changed Wen Ya into a set of firefighter protective gear. The key joints of her limbs were sealed with tape.
He wasn't afraid of zombies, but that didn't mean Wen Ya wasn't.
Wearing a huge helmet and an ill-fitting firefighter uniform, Wen Ya looked clumsy.
Lin An walked in front, charging straight into the zombie horde.
He moved with ferocity and agility.
Wen Ya followed closely behind him, holding a large axe in her hands, looking tense and struggling.
She took a step forward and swung the axe.
Lin An's muscles bulged as he took a quick step forward.
He raised his right hand and chopped down with a sharp Nepalese curved knife, making a clean cut through the nearest zombie's head.
Thick, sticky blood splattered on the roll-up door, forming an ugly graffiti.
He turned and kicked backward.
Lin An suddenly exerted his strength, turning around and kicking the nearest zombie.
It was a standard military combat kick.
"Bang!"
The zombie with its mouth full of flesh just managed to react and was instantly blasted like a missile towards the roll-up door.
The collision between flesh and metal was loud and unpleasant.
Zombies wandering around in the distance looked like sharks that had smelled blood and turned to look over.
"Go in!"
"Boom!"
Lin An kicked the door violently, crushing the zombie that was left The elderly woman did not realize what the zombies outside meant.
She also couldn't understand the player panel that appeared during the apocalypse, thinking it was just her eyes playing tricks on her.
Seeing Lin An and the other person not paying any attention to her and continuing to search the store quickly, she couldn't help but scold them.
"Stop it!"
"You're robbing!"
"I...I'm calling the police!"
The words "calling the police" still had some deterrence for ordinary people at this time.
Wen Ya hesitated for a moment after hearing them, but after seeing Lin An continuing to search without stopping, she decided to ignore them as well.
"Shut up."
Lin An didn't look back as he threw a handful of bills out of his pocket.
Red bills flew and scattered.
He didn't have much spare change, only around two or three thousand yuan.
Although money no longer had much significance now, it still had a lot of attraction for most people who hadn't figured out the situation yet.
Lin An was too lazy to argue with the flower shop owner.
Although his target was the spiritual energy plants in the store, he had also saved the owner's life.
The woman didn't know how to show her gratitude was one thing, but she was acting as if she was taking advantage of his generosity.
If she dared to scream again, Lin An wouldn't mind killing her with a knife.
There was a high chance that the zombies outside had heard the noise.
The entrance to the store was narrow, and if they couldn't find the spiritual energy plants in a short time, it would waste time and attract a large group of zombies, which would cause him some trouble as well.
The bills fell to the ground, and the plump flower shop owner was momentarily stunned before quickly picking up the bills on the ground.
She sneakily glanced at Wen Ya holding an axe and slipped the money into her pocket. Then, she quickly changed her expression.
"It's not enough!"
"You also broke our door!"
"This roll-up door is electric, at least 20,000 y ?"
The flower shop owner looked disdainful, and Wenya, although holding a fire axe, had already mentally determined that these people were easy to deal with, so she didn't feel any deterrence.
"You can wait for me to open the door!"
"I asked you to save me, not to kick down the door!"
"Swish!"
Lin An held the sharp blade of the fire axe against the throat of the shop owner with one hand, his gaze cold and stern.
"Stop making noise or I'll kill you."
Lin An's excellent hearing had picked up the sound of a large number of disorderly footsteps coming from a distance.
If this woman continued to make noise, it would undoubtedly attract zombies.
The flower shop owner was like an old duck whose neck had been clamped, and her sharp voice suddenly stopped.
Fear and terror.
Kindness is often taken advantage of.
When Lin An showed his ruthlessness, she immediately became quiet.
"Don't... don't kill me."
"Here, I'll give it all to you."
The shop owner pleaded in a trembling voice, feeling the killing intent in Lin An's eyes.
Lin An paid no attention, just staring fixedly at a corner of the flower shop.
The deep red rose with a gold-edged border was not noticeable in the dim light.
But in Lin An's field of vision, the flower was surrounded by a faint aura of spiritual energy.
There was indeed a spiritual energy plant here!
"Spiritual Energy Plant: Gold-Edged Rose (Spiritual Energy Pollution Level 1)"
"Effect: Increases attributes after consumption."
Lin An was delighted, took a few big steps forward, and swallowed the petals without hesitation.
It tasted sweet in the mouth, without the imagined bitter taste.
"Beep, gain 1 point of willpower, gain 1 point of physical strength, gain 20% resistance to toxicity (zombies)."
A warm current flowed from the lower abdomen to the limbs, and Lin An could clearly feel that her physical fitness had improved a lot.
Her skin, which had been as white as jade, was now
