Zhang Zhiyin didn't expect such a situation — —
The flight flag teleported him over thousands of zombies and landed on the tall tower of the base, right next to the leader.
The leader felt the pressure on his body lighten. He turned his head slightly and saw Zhang Zhiyin who had built an ice wall next to him.
He took a deep breath as if he had released something, his movements became sluggish.
At this crucial moment, he didn't bother to find out how Zhang Zhiyin came back to life, instead, he took a deep breath and said while dealing with the two zombie bosses: "Little Zhang, I knew you were a good comrade the moment I saw you."
Under normal circumstances, it was a rule in the game that normal players couldn't solo bosses. Even a level 80 boss would have a hard time fighting a level 20 boss, unless the boss was designed to be solo. This rule was also very applicable at this moment.
At this time, the two Bosses were at least level 4. It was not something that four or five people could deal with. Previously, the leader and the others had been fighting with their lives, especially the leader, who was the main force. At this time, he was like an arrow at the end of its flight.
"I'm not as great as you think I am, guarding the base for everyone. It's just that I have nowhere else to go. Yulin Base is the old Yulin City. I was born here, grew up here, worked here, married a wife, and had children … Then, the apocalypse suddenly came, and my wife and daughter were all gone. I didn't protect them … So I don't want to leave. I just want to stay here, accompany them, and protect as many as I can … "
At this moment, more and more people noticed Zhang Zhiyin, the ones fighting on the frontlines were mostly members of the combat teams. They all turned their heads and shouted in shock, disbelief, and excitement: "Leader — —"
Zhang Zhiyin turned around and waved at them.
The leader smiled: "Look, they all trust you, I also believe that you can bring everyone away safely …"
"That's why, little brother, don't disappoint me." The leader patted Zhang Zhiyin's shoulder and pushed him back, while he himself took two steps forward.
If he still couldn't tell that something was wrong, then all the dramas he watched with his grandma in the past would have been for nothing! The leader was clearly setting up a death flag for him!
Zhang Zhiyin anxiously shouted: "No matter what you want to do, don't do it! I still have a way! "
The leader was indeed stunned.
Zhang Zhiyin quickly opened the store and bought the item [Special Grade Growing Growth Magical Fruit].
The effect of the "Magical Fruit of Accelerating Growth" was similar to its name. The item description said that it could "rapidly stimulate one's potential, but as a price, one would lose their strength for three days after using it." In the game, this price was manifested in a weakened state for three hours and being unable to use abilities for thirty minutes. Usually, the DPS players would buy it at the critical moment when the party was fighting the boss. But in this real version of Tomorrow's World, Zhang Zhiyin guessed that he would probably lose his strength for three days after using it. But at this time, he couldn't care less.
Before coming here, Zhang Zhiyin had predicted that the situation would be dire, so she had quickly changed into the Doomsday Redemption set. At this time, with the bonus of the set, her strength was close to the late stage of Rank 5. He stuffed the fruit into his mouth and swallowed it. Then he walked to the front and shot two ice balls at the zombies below him.
One of the ice balls hit the left zombie boss's left shoulder, while the other hit the right zombie boss's forearm. However, from the place where they were hit, the freezing effect quickly spread. Very soon, the two zombie bosses were frozen in place, and the freezing effect was still spreading. The zombies on both sides were also frozen and could not move.
It was just two ice balls, but the effect was comparable to the ultimate ice ability "Thousand Miles of Ice".
At the same time, Zhang Zhiyin was powerless and collapsed on the ground.
He raised his head and futilely tried to lift his sore arm. In the end, he could only smile bitterly and say to the leader: "Brother Long, you have no choice but to bring me away now."
The leader had a name. The leader was called Wang Long.
The leader took the lead and began to organize the retreat of the remaining troops with the support team leader. Although they were not clear what method Zhang Zhiyin had used, they could tell from the situation and experience that this state would not last for long.
Da Dao and the team's wood ability user, Ah Mu, supported Zhang Zhiyin and left.
Zhang Zhiyin had just been supported up when he felt a soft ball rubbing against his chest. Then, it obediently jumped back into his pocket.
Zhang Zhiyin powerlessly looked down at the little head that had the words "I was ignored by this stupid Zhiyin for a few days. He wanted to run away but he didn't want to bring me along. I'm so unhappy and annoying that I ignore him … If you properly pacify him, I'll let you go this time."
This little fellow was so smart. He was just worrying about how to find it and bring it away, but it came looking for it. It was a pity that he was powerless and could only wait until he recovered before pacifying it.
Zhang Zhiyin's two ice balls only stopped the zombies for five minutes, but that was enough time for them to retreat. When the car drove out from the north gate, they could still hear the sound of the defense wall being pushed down.
The support team's precision ability user, Li Zhun, leaned out and looked in the direction of the base and muttered: "They rushed in."
"But we've already left." The team leader said.
Looking around, everyone in the car had the words "survivor" written in their eyes.
The first and second batches of people had already disappeared without a trace. But very quickly, they caught up with the third batch of people who were about seventy to eighty. The third batch was mostly made up of the family members of the ability users who stayed behind. Because they were unwilling to leave early, they stayed until the end. Because they were worried about something, they didn't move very quickly. Now that the family members of both sides met, they couldn't hide their excitement. Some of them even hugged each other and cried.
After regrouping, they became a team of a hundred people. About thirty of them were ability users while the rest were ordinary people. But after going through the test of life and death, the remaining ability users were all soldiers who could entrust their lives to each other.
Zhang Zhiyin, who was completely exhausted, was sent to the special carriage for the old, weak, sick, and young. However, there were team members who came to chat with him every day. The question they were most curious about was: Captain, how did you come back to life? Big Saber Bro and the others all saw you die.
This was the advantage of being a player! How could you NPCs understand!?
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiyin couldn't help but make up a story: "In the past, someone gave me a spatial talisman that could save my life. So I didn't actually die. I just used the spatial talisman to move to another place the moment the lightning struck."
Everyone came to a realization. Then, other questions came one after another — —
"A spatial talisman is a high-grade spatial tool. The person who could create it must be very powerful, right? Is it a high-grade spatial ability user? "
"Then where did that person go now? Why isn't he accompanying you, Captain? "
"Captain, before you retreated, the fruit that allowed you to instantly increase your strength but then become powerless, was it also given to you by that person?"
"Who is that person? Captain, how do you know each other? What's your relationship with him? "
"Huh? Captain, was the ring on your hand also given to you by that person? "
"…"
Although the team members didn't ask so bluntly, over the past three days, they still indirectly asked these questions.
Zhang Zhiyin finally understood what it meant to say that a lie needed a hundred lies to cover it up. At this time, he could only do what the internet said: "Just smile."
But since he had always been imitating the boss's expressionless face, when faced with these questions, Zhang Zhiyin also chose to remain expressionless and slightly lowered his head to maintain his silence. But this was also good. That was why he pushed all the unexplainable people to 'that person who mustn't speak'. Zhang Zhiyin felt much more relaxed now that he didn't have to continue lying.
But the power of the masses to fill in the blanks was great and boundless. His actions, in everyone's eyes, became — —
"After hearing our words, Captain didn't say anything. He only silently looked at the ring on his hand with a desolate expression as if he was reminiscing about something."
Thus, under everyone's hard work, they finally pieced together the 'truth' of that year.
Captain Zhang used to have a lover who was a high-grade spatial ability user. It was very likely that he was even more powerful than Captain. The two of them should have been married or at least engaged — the ring was proof. Later, some unspeakable sadomasochistic things happened, and the two separated again. The most melodramatic reason for their separation was that Captain's lover died in order to save Captain. Of course, this was an irreversible ending. Due to their love for Captain, they weren't willing to believe that this was true. It was also possible that the two of them had different ideals and parted ways. Either way, it was much better than being separated by heaven and earth.
But everyone was clear that in this post-apocalyptic world, it was very likely that the person that Captain couldn't bear to mention was already gone forever. But no one said it out loud, and no one asked Zhang Zhiyin again. They all silently wished Captain and his lover well in their hearts, hoping that Captain and his lover were still alive and that they could reunite soon.
Zhang Zhiyin, who didn't know anything about this, only felt that the number of people who came here to ask about 'that person' had decreased a lot.
He tried to raise his arm that had gained strength. He was still silently lamenting in his heart that Yin Nian's trump card expression was indeed useful.
People like him who cared about sticking a cold face to him every day were indeed in the minority.
