After wandering in this empty and desolate wilderness for more than half an hour, we finally saw the shadow of a city. The tall buildings in the distance added some changes to the unchanging scenery in our field of vision.
Visca had been collecting information about our surroundings along the way. Basically, other than the things that could only be seen by satellites, the information that she had collected was enough to fill up two British libraries. From the composition of the air to the constant of gravity, from the composition of plants to the density of the atmosphere, from the remnants of cosmic rays to the intensity of light, this lass was even bored enough to calculate the radius of the "Earth" beneath our feet based on the data that she had already measured …
Thanks to Visca's obviously exaggerated serious attitude, we had a rough grasp of the basic situation of this world. Overall, the environment here was not much different from Earth. The lifeforms here were also conventional carbon-based lifeforms. Other than one or two species of monocotyledons that were already extinct on Earth, it would not be an exaggeration to say that this was another Earth. Thus, when I saw that the city in the distance looked rather familiar, I was not surprised at all.
It could be said that this city that we had arrived at was completely lifeless. After the 700 billion dollars silently drove into this rather modern-looking metropolis, all that welcomed us was the almost frozen coldness and deathly silence. As we slowly drove on the empty streets, I couldn't help but have the illusion that I was being silently spied on by this dead city. This wasn't the first time I had such a feeling. In my previous dream, the sleeping Schilling's homeworld was also silent, but the latter was merely sleeping and waiting to be awakened. And now, this city before us, it was already dead.
This didn't seem to be the place that Lin Xue had appeared in her dream. Along the way, I made such a conjecture. The mutilated corpses and scattered traces of resistance that I had seen in Lin Xue's dream did not appear. It seemed that before this place was destroyed, there was an orderly evacuation and not a chaotic and ineffective resistance. Of course, it could also be that we had not yet seen such an area — after all, this was only the periphery of the city. Even if there was a great disaster, it shouldn't be to the extent where a harmonious street was left, right?
"Big Brother, abnormal life fluctuations have been detected up ahead."
As we slowly drove on the streets of the city, Visca's serious red light flashed and he spoke up to warn us.
"Is it those 'ferocious beasts' that cause disasters …"
I said in a low voice before steadily stopping the car in front of a shop. I didn't activate any disguise system because I was also very curious about the 'ferocious beast' that was able to render the humans who possessed advanced technology helpless, to the point of even facing the threat of extinction.
According to the dream that Lin Xue had described, although she was unable to see what those 'creatures' looked like, based on the scars on the corpses, there was no doubt that the attackers were beasts. How could such a world with low magic and energy produce creatures that even advanced firearms could not resist?
Soon, the answer to the mystery was revealed in front of us. From the corner of the opposite street, a few swaying figures gradually appeared in our line of sight...
They looked rather clumsy and didn't seem to be able to see. However, I only lightly touched the car door and made a slight noise. They quickly found our position and sped up, running toward us.
However, even when it ran, it was still clumsy …
We didn't even need to get out of the car. The seven hundred billion lasers automatically locked onto the hostile targets. After a few laser beams, the enemies that were charging at us were sliced in half. However, even with such a fatal injury, those things didn't die immediately. They let out a mournful cry. Then, with only their upper bodies remaining, they struggled to get up and continued to approach us. Dirty blood and organs were dragged on the ground.
"Disgusting." The corner of my mouth twitched as I muttered to myself. However, we didn't need to do anything. The 700 billion internal tactical circuit that discovered that the first attack had failed had already calculated the best solution. A dark red light spread out from under the headlights, and a thin layer of ground with a radius of a dozen meters in front of us was vaporized along with a few monsters. Only the monster that was the furthest away didn't completely enter the attack range due to its slow speed. Other than its head being vaporized, its body was preserved.
Of course, I had done this on purpose. My maximum range of 700 billion Psionic Energy Radiation could cover half a small city …
"Did you see what just happened?"
I turned my head and asked Sandora after the few creatures with strong vitality had been destroyed.
Sandora frowned and had a disgusted expression on her face. "I saw it … What a disgusting fellow. That kind of rotten meat."
"This matter is really ridiculous."
I shrugged and started the car. At the same time, I had Visca adjust the life detection radar to the maximum to search for survivors in the city.
The things that we destroyed should be considered zombies … Oh, it should be zombies, right?
That ugly appearance, with a face full of rotten meat, and under their tattered clothes, there were open wounds from guns and bites. Just based on their appearance, they should be dragged out and shot for five minutes. In Azeroth, they were called zombies. In Resident Evil, they were called zombies. In our eyes, they were called streaky pork. Yup, this was a little disgusting.
"It could be the world of Resident Evil," I muttered to myself after turning around a street that was almost completely destroyed. "It could also be some other Resident Evil apocalypse. No wonder this type of apocalyptic literature is so popular. It seems like it's because of the projection effect of this world …"
"What I don't understand is another thing," Sandora frowned slightly and had a puzzled expression on her face. "Although zombies often appear in human fantasy novels, in reality, it is impossible for such a thing to exist in a low-magic and low-energy technological world. They have the characteristics of the undead and the way they exist doesn't conform to normal biology. Visca also scanned the life forms of this world, and they are exactly the same as Earth …"
At this time, Visca who was acting as the radar suddenly spoke and interrupted Sandora's analysis. "Brother, turn left 300 meters ahead. There are three normal life signs and six abnormal life signs."
The gray car that was originally moving at a normal speed stopped for a moment. Then, the exhaust pipe at the rear suddenly overflowed with a blue halo. The entire car trembled as if it was an illusion, and then disappeared on the spot.
One second later, the seven hundred billion warped to somewhere near the target area that Visca had marked. After parking the car in a hidden alley, we ran in the direction of the sound.
In front of a shop at the corner of the street, a siege was in progress. Six zombies with tattered clothes were shakily surrounding each other. From their clothes, five of them should have been ordinary citizens when they were alive, while the remaining one was wearing a security guard's uniform. Among the six zombies, two of them already had an arm chopped off, but this kind of injury was clearly not fatal. It wasn't even enough to make these brainless fellows retreat. And in the encirclement, there seemed to be a family of three. A sturdy man was waving a long machete covered in blood in his hand, continuously chopping away the approaching monsters. At his feet, there was already a zombie with half of its head cut off. It should be the result of the long machete. Behind the man, there was a long-haired woman wearing ordinary casual clothes protecting a little girl who looked to be only eight or nine years old. She constantly looked around with frightened eyes, and then, she saw our figures.
Seeing our appearance, the man in the desperate situation couldn't help but reveal a pleasantly surprised expression. But when he saw Sandora and Visca appear behind me, the pleasantly surprised expression immediately froze.
Alright, I admit, Sandora's temperament and attire made her look like a pampered rich young lady, and the blind loli next to her with closed eyes really didn't look like a fighting force. And from a certain point of view, the way the three of us formed and the family of three in the desperate situation in front of us were filled with all kinds of subtle coincidences …
Purely based on physical appearance, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Veska was a daughter instead of a younger sister. It was just that Shadora and I, as her 'parents', looked far too young. Youngsters nowadays … Bullsh * t! Speaking of which, why didn't anyone stop me from going off topic to this extent!?
"Help!"
At this moment, the long-haired woman in front of us who was clearly on the verge of collapse suddenly shouted towards us. It was as if she was afraid that we would immediately turn around and run away. In this kind of world, that was simply too normal.
However, the woman's cry for help first attracted the attention of the zombies. These things whose ears were almost rotten actually had sharp hearing. They slightly paused, then chose to go around the fierce machete uncle and directly rushed towards the mother and daughter behind him. Seeing this situation, the machete-wielding man almost collapsed. He desperately shouted loudly in an attempt to attract the attention of the zombies, and the long sword in his hand also crazily smashed the zombies' heads. However, the absolute disadvantage in numbers made it impossible for him to save his wife and daughter in time.
"Uncle, these kinds of monsters don't take taunts."
I called out from afar, then snapped my fingers: "Deflagration."
Six ferocious zombies were currently leaping forward, about to pounce on the mother and daughter, but in the next second, scarlet flames burst out from their bodies. Almost in the blink of an eye, these monsters were burned to ashes by the astonishing high temperature that gushed out from every cell. In the end, only one or two ashes landed on the long-haired woman's body.
After easily eliminating those monsters that were terrifying to ordinary people, but in reality, did not have any energy resistance, we quickly walked in front of the family of three that had just escaped death. At this moment, the family was still in a daze. What happened in front of them was obviously something they had never seen before. Well, being surrounded by zombies should also be an experience that they had never experienced before.
I patted hard on the shoulder of the muscular man, who was unable to react in time, and the latter immediately screamed in fear. His entire body trembled violently, and he couldn't even hold the machete in his hand firmly, causing it to fall to the ground with a clang. After that, he finally came to his senses, and looked at us with frightened eyes, then subconsciously stood in front of his wife and daughter to shield them.
"Looks like we have been treated as monsters …" I shook my head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. I turned my head and said to Sandora, "Er … Visca, close your eyes … Forget it, there's no point."
In the end, what really scared the other party was Visca's eyes, a pair of blood-red cat pupils. In this world that was already ravaged by monsters, everyone's nerves were on high alert. Anything that wasn't human was enough to cause ordinary people to fall into a state of panic, not to mention Visca's blood-red pupils that were completely mutated by the power of the abyss. To be honest, sometimes when I accidentally met Visca who couldn't sleep and came out to walk around at night, I would be frightened.
"Don't mind it, my sister was born with it."
I patted Visca's little head and said to the man in front of me with a smile. At this time, the other party could also see that we didn't have any ill intentions, and in addition to the fact that I had obviously saved his life — although the process was inconceivable — he finally showed a slightly relaxed expression, then his body tilted and slowly fell to the side.
… Isn't this plot a little too melodramatic? The man who fought bravely to protect his family finally lost his last mental support when his savior finally arrived, and in the end, he fell on the blood-filled battlefield. After handing over his wife and daughter to the man who mysteriously appeared and saved his family, he left with a smile on his face. After witnessing this tragedy, a seed of hatred was planted in his heart, and after going through cruel training, he finally became the strongest warrior under the mysterious man who appeared that day. After crushing one enemy after another, he finally uncovered the truth of that day, but to his astonishment, he discovered that the mastermind behind everything was actually her adoptive father … Such a bastard plot, why don't you guys stop it for me …
"Oh my god, I'm so tired …"
The man who had already been pawned in my mind and turned into a sad tombstone that would be covered with parasol leaves every autumn sat on the ground and said so.
I: "…"
Although I didn't know why this family of three would stay in this already extremely dangerous city, it was obviously not a suitable place to stay for long. The man who called himself Zhao Leisong naturally knew this, and after being attacked by the zombies, they urgently hoped to have a strong helper. In this chaotic world, it was definitely a wise choice to have an additional person to travel with, even if the background of this group of helpers was a little unclear.
When they found out that we had a car, the three of them were obviously overjoyed. After asking, I found out that because of the orderly evacuation of the entire city after the outbreak of the calamity, there was almost no usable transportation in this city. Walking on foot in a place where zombies were rampant, if one didn't have the strength of Uther, it would be suicide — Besides, didn't Uther also get swallowed by Arthis's sea of dogs? Cough cough …
However, when he saw what the car I was talking about, Zhao Leisong's face was almost filled with despair.
I expressed that I understood. Even if it was me, in a situation where I didn't know the truth, if I saw this broken car that was constantly being modified by a certain loli general, I would probably doubt whether this thing could run at the speed of a wheelchair …
However, I didn't have time to explain, because in Visca's scan, there were already more abnormal lifeforms wandering in this direction.
"I really can't tell from the outside, the space inside this car is so big …"
When the 700 billion smoothly started on the road, Zhao Leisong who was sitting in the back finally let out a sigh of relief — this guy didn't believe that the thing under his butt could really move!
If I wasn't worried that it would be too shocking, I really wanted to open up all the space expansion modules and let them experience what a MCV was!
"I can even send an army over," I said half-jokingly as I set the automatic cruise mode.
I said half-jokingly while setting the automatic cruise mode. According to the map of the city that Visca had already scanned, the 700 billion would patrol the entire city according to the best route. Since there were people like Zhao Leisong's family who were unexpectedly stranded, maybe we could find more survivors.
Sandora and I sat in the front row while Visca and Sandora were squeezed together. It wasn't that there was no space in the back, it was just that Visca's rejection of strangers was really beyond my imagination. The family of three that had been saved were quietly curled up in the back seat, their faces were filled with exhaustion and joy of surviving a disaster. As for the man that left a deep impression on me, although he looked very valiant in the previous battle, he was also in a sorry state right now. Even his right hand that was holding a knife just a moment ago was slightly trembling. Of course, even so, I could still give him a very high evaluation. He was obviously just a slightly stronger ordinary person, the kind of person that would normally go to work and rely on physical strength to support his family. But after the disaster, he was able to fight so valiantly and even protect his family under the siege of several fearless zombies. This could already be considered as brave. Even Sandora gave him the evaluation of "this person can become a warrior". It must be known that to be recognized as a warrior by Princess Zhange, it required more than just strength.
Zhao Leisong didn't open his mouth to ask about the zombies that had suddenly turned into ashes after we appeared. I could see the suspicion and suspicion on his face. However, in this dangerous world, it was already a great fortune to have a stranger willing to lend a helping hand. When survival was the most extravagant hope in life, all questions had to be put aside. Since we didn't take the initiative to ask, Zhao Leisong didn't ask anything.
In a short conversation, I also learned each person's name. The long-haired woman who had already fallen asleep on the seat was called Song Yao. She was Zhao Leisong's wife, an ordinary clerk. And the seven or eight year old girl tightly held by her mother was their daughter, Zhao Xiaoxiao. This was an ordinary family of three — — if it wasn't for this bullsh * t apocalypse.
