Ever since then, the third squad leader Liu Zhu found Shang Si and Zhang Zhiyin to be an eyesore, believing that they colluded together to harm him, a laboring commoner.
He couldn't tell the person above him that he couldn't get the wood and stone, as that would make him seem incompetent and incompetent, so he said that he didn't have enough information and couldn't find the wood and stone's whereabouts. That person didn't know why he suddenly lost the connection to the wood and stone, but he didn't blame him, nor did he say that he had to get it. He only told him to continue to pay attention, and the matter was left unsettled. On the contrary, that person always had a tolerant style of doing things.
Look at him, look at you. Liu Zhu glanced sideways at Shang Si, silently cursing.
Every time they went out for a mission, Shang Si, as the person in charge, would use his position to give the best mission to the second squad, and he would personally follow them. He would also give a portion of his benefits to the second squad, and he would also eat with the second squad. In the beginning, he still tried to cover it up, but later on, he didn't have any misgivings, nor did he try to avoid suspicion.
Seriously, he didn't even need to say anything, he couldn't even finish.
Fortunately, apart from the wood and stone, Shang Si handled other matters fairly, at least better than the person in charge. He didn't feel like bickering, he just wanted to quickly leave the frontlines and return to the base after his shift ended.
Today, they received another mission, it was to clean up a factory, requiring three squads under Shang Si to work together.
The factory was filled with cold and heavy metal machines, silently standing there, as if they were dead, but also as if they were alive, all staring at them, and no one could guess what kind of monsters were hiding behind the machines.
Fighting at the frontlines often required them to go deep into abandoned cities. In the depths of human civilization that had long been occupied by inanimate things, they discovered something even more difficult to deal with than zombies, known as mutants. Although zombies were ugly, they still retained a human shape. Mutants, on the other hand, had no shape at all. They often had several limbs or no limbs, or even more than one head or no head. Their facial features were chaotic and unclear. They were born to be nightmarish existences.
There were all kinds of strange monsters in all kinds of online games. In the game, the Mutants were just some kind of monsters mixed in with the zombies that were harder to kill. Although they looked ugly, you wouldn't be able to see them after zooming in. They were all small lumps of the same size. Only after seeing mutants in this world did Zhang Zhiyin realize how anti-human these things were, compared to them, zombies were too friendly.
Zhang Zhiyin and the rest had personally witnessed the birth of a mutant. For some unknown reason, the five or six zombies bit and devoured each other. The last one that survived ate the other zombies, twitching and growing like some kind of insect, and became an extremely terrifying mutant. It completely violated the normal evolution mechanism of zombies. Like the legendary Gu, they killed each other, and the last one to survive became a more troublesome existence.
Mutants were indeed more difficult to deal with, but fortunately, they did not seem to be able to evolve like ordinary zombies.
Liu Zhu led his two team members and advanced into the factory. This place was too big, but the distribution of zombies was not dense, so they had to divide into several groups.
The surroundings were very quiet. They could only hear each other's footsteps and breathing. The communicator was clipped to the waist of the combat suit, and the light green indicator on it was flashing quietly. Everything was normal.
A rustling sound came from the machine on the left, which was about a man and a half tall. It sounded like something was moving.
Liu Zhu raised his hand to signal, and the three of them immediately stopped and waited quietly in place.
The voice continued, but it had no intention of moving towards them.
Liu Zhu furrowed his brows. This didn't seem right. If there were zombies hiding behind them, according to their nature, they should be approaching the place where the living were.
He looked at the two team members and nodded.
After a long period of cooperation, they had already formed a certain tacit understanding. The three of them instantly understood each other's intentions. With Liu Zhu providing support here, the remaining two carefully walked towards the place where the sound came from.
"There are zombies! Wood type, at least level three! "One of the team members shouted.
The other added, "Captain! It's level four! "
The sound of gunshots and abilities could be heard. From the messy footsteps of the two people, it could be determined that they were running towards them. It could be assumed that they were running while using abilities.
Liu Zhu was waiting for support. Suddenly, he had a bad premonition. This was the combat instinct that he had developed from being on the front lines for a long time.
He felt like he was being stared at by something dangerous, and a chill ran down his spine.
An extremely weak and harsh "sha sha" sound came from behind him, like a dry branch scratching the ground.
Something was crawling.
Liu Zhu suddenly turned around and saw a face without any features, looking at him from bottom to top.
It turned out to be a mutant.
Before splitting up, the captain of the first team, who was a level five psychic, had already made a large-scale spiritual detection in this area. The strongest zombie that he sensed through his spiritual power was no more than level four. He didn't expect that there would be a mutant lurking here.
He was afraid that this guy was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.
It had no legs, and its torso seemed to have lost the ability to stand upright. However, it had six dry and deformed arms of different lengths, and some of them were still stained with blood. It was wriggling forward on the ground, like some kind of large spider.
But in comparison, spiders were much more dangerous than it.
Liu Zhu took a deep breath. He understood why the level four wood type zombie didn't come over. It was instinctively afraid of this guy.
Liu Zhu didn't rashly shoot. He first prepared his ability with his right hand and aimed at the mutant. At the same time, he calmly took out the walkie-talkie with his left hand and sent a signal for help.
"Bang!" The mutant sent out a breath and hit the walkie-talkie. The black device flew far away on the ground, making a clear echo.
The two team members also noticed the situation on Liu Zhu's side. They looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and began to try their best to deal with the wood type zombie. Fortunately, this zombie was strong in defense and control, but its attack was average. If they cooperated well, they should be able to hold on for a while.
Liu Zhu aimed at the abdomen of the mutant. Mutation was also equivalent to an alternative evolution. The mutant would instinctively evolve their weak spots to become stronger or hide and protect them. He judged that the abdomen of this mutant, which was hidden at the bottom and close to the ground, was its weak spot.
Liu Zhu raised his hand and fired the gun with his left hand. Almost at the same time, he took advantage of the moment when it dodged to the side. He had already prepared a fireball and shot it under its body. The fireball burst into brilliant sparks!
The mutant didn't have much intelligence. It was completely angry and no longer hid itself. Qi surrounded its body, and its six limbs stood up at the same time. Countless wind blades formed a sharp net and rushed toward Liu Zhu.
Liu Zhu couldn't dodge and was scratched by three of them. Black blood instantly flowed from the wound on his arm.
Damn, it's poisonous!
Mutants were not easy to deal with. They often had two or three special abilities. One was the main ability, and the others were supplementary.
Liu Zhu no longer hesitated. He set up a fire shield and began to fight guerrilla attacks around the nearby machines and mutants.
…
Fire was the strongest attack among the ordinary elemental special abilities, but the relative defense was very weak. It also followed the basic setting of the game's class balance. The mutant's attack was very strong, almost three times that of ordinary zombies of the same level. However, its speed was not fast. It kept chasing Liu Zhu into a corridor in the factory.
This was a dead end.
Under the threat of death, Liu Zhu burst out a great potential, but at the same time, his physical strength was consumed very quickly.
He looked at the wall in front of him and couldn't help but have the fear of "I may die." He turned his head, lowered his eyes, and put his hands together. He was ready to launch another big fireball to try to knock down the mutant and take the opportunity to escape. If it didn't work, then he could only resign himself to fate.
At this moment, an ice blade quickly passed through the mutant's neck.
Mutants were very smart in battle, or in other words, their survival instincts were extremely strong. After knowing that there was an enemy behind it, it did not directly turn around to give the enemy an opportunity. Instead, it gave up its original prey, Liu Zhu, and quickly turned its six limbs to face the new enemy. From beginning to end, it did not show its weakness.
But it was useless.
A thin thunder line passed through the gap between its limbs and torso, quietly buried under its body, and then suddenly, it exploded quickly! Purple lightning flashed, and the originally dark corridor was illuminated as if it was daytime. Liu Zhu looked at the scene in front of him and only felt a stinging pain in his eyes.
Even if there was more disdain, at this time, he couldn't help but feel admiration. Although Shang Si's ability level was not the top, his control of his ability was not something ordinary people could achieve. Turning the thunder ability into a soft and extensible line like a real line required extraordinary precise control.
The mutant was blown over by this explosion, and its abdomen was already scorched black.
Before it could react, an ice ball had hit the wound on its abdomen, and the hit area quickly froze and then melted.
Shang Si and Zhang Zhiyin stood on the other side of the corridor and had just put down their hands.
Perfect coordination.
Liu Zhu had already caught his breath, and at this time, he took the initiative to dig out the crystal core. In the end, he dug out three, a level 5 wind crystal core, a level 4 poison crystal core, and a level 4 spirit crystal core. No wonder the captain of the first team couldn't find it, the only use of this spirit crystal was to provide a spiritual camouflage.
Shang Si's actions had completely aroused Zhang Zhiyin's male fighting spirit. In order to be on guard against Shang Si, he hurriedly upgraded the Doomsday suit, and now with the suit's support, he had reached the level of an ordinary early level 6. As a result, the originally level 5 vice leader Shang also increased his ability level a few days ago and stepped into the ranks of level 6. Moreover, every time he acted, he would deliberately request to be in the same team as him, and his team members, in order to make a good relationship with him, would silently support his request with actions and words.
However, after a few actions, Zhang Zhiyin's view of Shang Si had slightly changed. Although this guy seemed difficult to talk to, self-centered, and didn't care about the feelings of others, and even had ulterior motives towards him, Zhang Zhiyin found that sometimes Shang Si was dull, and not that annoying.
However, this still could not erase the label of having ulterior motives on him. After dealing with the mutant, Zhang Zhiyin immediately left. Shang Si gave Liu Zhu a slight signal and hurriedly followed.
Liu Zhu looked at the back of the two and rubbed his chin in contemplation. Could it be that it was not as he thought, that Zhang Zhiyin and Shang Si were in cahoots, and then Shang Si used his position for personal gain? Instead, Vice Leader Shang really liked Zhang Zhiyin, and from the looks of it, Zhang Zhiyin didn't seem to accept it? In that case, Mu Shi was just being used by the vice leader to express goodwill?
It was inevitable that one would be hot-headed in the pursuit of something. Nothing in the world was more important than a wife. Liu Zhu felt that although he was getting on in years, he could still understand young people. When he was young, it was not yet the apocalypse, and his salary was low. He would pester and pester his colleagues for work, saving for half a month just to buy a bouquet of flowers for his wife, who was not yet his wife at that time. Now that he was risking his life on the frontlines, he wanted to let his wife and child, who had been accompanying him in the apocalypse, live a better life.
Thinking of this, in addition to Shang Si's cool explosion just now, Liu Zhu's impression of this young man gradually increased, turning from negative to positive. He silently became a member of the "Support Vice Leader Shang's pursuit of something" support group.
Zhang Zhiyin endured it for a while, but he couldn't hold it in. He turned around and said to Shang Si, who was following him, "I have someone I like."
Shang Si was stunned for a moment, then he asked him expectantly, "Who do you like?" It was as if he knew that the answer would be him.
Zhang Zhiyin really didn't know where he got his confidence from.
He said, "A very powerful person." Although everyone knew Dr. Y, his identity couldn't be revealed. Calling him "Yin Nian" didn't seem too appropriate, after all, Dr. Yin was also considered a public figure.
"Oh?" Shang Si did his best to not let his eyes light up, "What do you think he is like?"
"Powerful, handsome, steady, self-controlled, smart, number one in the world … He's a little cold, but he's also very handsome." Zhang Zhiyin lowered his head and finished counting. When he raised his head, he realized that Shang Si was looking at him. His face that always seemed gloomy and alienated had a faint smile, adding a different luster to the ordinary appearance of a passerby, as if he was very happy.
What he couldn't bear the most was that suspicious gaze.
Zhang Zhiyin couldn't help but add, "I wasn't talking about you."
Shang Si opened his mouth, then closed it in defeat.
However, since then, Zhang Zhiyin realized that Shang Si had a new hobby — listening to him praise the person he liked. ()
