Chapter 141： doomsday survival

The four-person squad turned into a six-person squad. Although the combat effectiveness did not improve much, with the support of Lin Dong's basement full of food and daily necessities, the supplies were greatly enriched.

As long as they are careful enough not to be discovered by humans, it will not be a problem to reach their destination smoothly.

Xiang Ting just stunned the three power users who kidnapped Tang Qin and the others, but did not kill them directly, so they were worried that they would be overtaken by the kidnappers' helpers. The car drove forward for a day without stopping until nightfall. When it came, the time for human activities began again, and they found a hidden cave on a mountain to rectify and rest.

Although there are grains such as rice and flour, they dare not make a fire to cook at night, because they are afraid that the fire or the smoke will attract humans, so they just eat some canned fast food to solve the dinner.

After dinner, Xiang Ting and the others would hold a small meeting as usual to arrange tomorrow's affairs, but this time, Lu Shijin and Lin Dong were more involved.

Du Jiangxian said: "There is not much gasoline in the car. Tomorrow, I have to go to a nearby town to find a way to get some gasoline out before continuing on the road."

Except for those evil power users who hunt humans to obtain crystal cores, other power users will not be willing to enter the area of ​​human activities unless necessary, even during the day, because although humans cannot come out during the day, they will also set up many traps waiting outside. them.

Xiang Ting was silent for a while, then said, "Okay, I'll go with you, the others stand by."

Lu Shijin said quickly, "I'll be with you too."

Xiang Ting glanced at Lu Shijin, thinking of Lu Shijin's special physique, he was really not at ease when he was placed with other people.

Xiang Ting: "Okay, your ability is really convenient to find things." There are good reasons, and others will not be suspicious.

The principle of their team's action is not to advance and retreat together. First, the target of the action together is too large, and it is easy to be targeted. Second, if they encounter danger, they will not be wiped out by separate actions, and others can find a way to save them. .

Tang Qin didn't want to do anything, and said, "When I went up the mountain just now, I seemed to see some herbs growing in the woods. Tomorrow, Lingling and I will go pick some up, in case we can use it later."

Lin Dong was surprised: "Wow, Xiao Tang, do you still recognize herbs?"

Tang Qin said proudly: "Of course, my major in university is traditional Chinese medicine."

Lin Dong was suddenly interested in the professional fields of several other people, so he first asked Du Jiang, who was sitting closest to him: "Xiao Du, what did you study?"

Du Jiang: "I studied finance."

Lin Dong smiled and said, "No wonder you are in charge of logistics, and you must be very good at reckoning. As for Lingzi, what is your major?"

Su Ling rested her head on Tang Qin's shoulder and said with a tender smile, "He and I are classmates."

Lin Dong was fed rations, ignored the two showing affection, and asked Lu Shijin on the left: "Little Lu, what did you do before?"

Lu Shijin: "Program Ape."

Su Ling giggled and said, "It's not like Brother Lu, I think you have a lot of hair."

Lu Shijin smiled helplessly: "Not all programmers lose their hair."

Finally, Lin Dong asked Xiang Ting, "Brother Xiang, what is your major?"

Lin Dong is actually much older than Xiang Ting, but he also followed Tang Qin and the others to call Xiang Ting "Brother Xiang". Who made the world look not at age but only on strength? After getting along with him for a day and a night, Lin Dong also recognized it Xiang Ting was their leader.

Xiang Ting: "Physics."

Lin Dong, a scumbag who didn't pass junior high school physics, looked at Xiang Ting with admiration and gave him a thumbs up: "Fuck!" He suddenly had an idea and asked again, "From the perspective of your physics, our world is Is there any chance of it going back to the way it was before?"

Xiang Ting said without hesitation, "Yes."

Lin Dong clapped his hands in surprise. Xiang Ting is not a person who likes to joke around, which made Lin Dong feel hopeful, "Really?!"

Xiang Ting: "From the perspective of quantum mechanics, everything is possible."

Lin Dong looked confused: "What?"

Lu Shijin couldn't help laughing out "Puchi", Xiang Ting was obviously teasing Lin Dong, and Lin Dong foolishly believed it.

Others reacted that their usually serious boss was actually joking, and after a little surprise, they laughed and laughed, and the atmosphere was much more cheerful.

Lin Dong found out that he was being tricked, and pushed Lu Shijin with a pretense of dissatisfaction, "Little Lu, you are still laughing, are you with them or with me?"

Lu Shijin couldn't bear to be touched by others, Lin Dong didn't push him with any strength, and Lu Shijin fell on Xiang Ting "weakly can't help the wind".

Xiang Ting subconsciously wrapped his arms around Lu Shijin's shoulders and wrapped the person in his arms. Han Mu raised his eyes to look at Lin Dong, his eyes filled with displeasure and warning.

After the push, Lin Dong was also stunned. He didn't exert much effort. Why did Lu Shijin fall?

And Xiang Ting looked at him as if he had done something heinous.

Just kidding, Xiang Ting's reaction was too strange, right?

Seeing this scene, the others stopped laughing. Based on what they knew about Xiang Ting, Xiang Ting was definitely not someone who likes to meddle in his own business.

Lin Dong and Lu Shijin were joking and fighting, which logically didn't hinder Xiang Ting, but Xiang Ting protected Lu Shijin in his arms like an old hen protecting her cubs, as if Lu Shijin could melt with a touch.

Moreover, they actually can see a little from this posture - possessiveness?

Everyone keenly smelled a kind of taste belonging to the base in the air.

Crazy, the world must be crazy, is this still the straight guy?

Everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere was awkward for a while. Lu Shijin was afraid that if it was a little later, everyone would discover the "adultery" between him and Xiang Ting.

He hurriedly got up from Xiang Ting and sat down in his seat obediently, "I didn't sit firmly just now, but I fell on you, sorry."

Xiang Ting didn't look at Lu Shijin, and said lightly, "It's okay."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, this is their cold and unsympathetic brother Xiang, it must have been too dark just now, they were wrong!

"Go to sleep, I'll keep watch tonight." Xiang Ting stood up and patted his pants, preparing to leave the cave.

Except for Su Ling, the girl, Xiang Ting and the others escaped all the way. Every night, three boys take turns to watch the night, so beware of the danger, and the others are too sleepy to notice.

But now that Lu Shijin and Lin Dong have been added to the team, the number of boys has increased to five, and the task of vigil is a little easier.

Lu Shijin suggested: "It's too tiring to stay alone all night, why don't the five of us come in turns, one person in the middle of the night and the other in the middle of the night?"

There was no objection from the crowd. Lu Shijin looked at Xiang Ting and said, "Then I'll come in the middle of the night. Remember to wake me up when you come back."

Xiang Ting nodded and went out. The others lay down and rested on the carpeted floor, and the dark cave fell into silence for a while.

Too many things happened during the day, and everyone was exhausted. After lying down, there was no more sleep talk. They all fell asleep quickly. Only the sound of breathing evenly could be heard in the empty cave.

Lu Shijin has always been a light sleeper, but he also fell asleep tonight. In the second half of the night, Xiang Ting came back to change the guard and patted Lu Shijin twice before waking him up.

Lu Shijin slept too deeply, and when he woke up, he forgot where he was. He didn't remember what was going on until he saw Xiang Ting's face.

Lu Shijin got up lightly, lowered his voice and said, "You're back, let me go."

He got up so fast that he didn't stand still for a while and almost fell back. Xiang Ting gave him a hand, but when Lu Shijin was touched by him, his body became even softer. , to avoid making a bigger noise to wake up other people.

"Thank you." Lu Shijin left Xiang Ting's arms and stood firm, his eyes adjusted to the darkness for a while, and walked out towards the entrance of the hole. He didn't expect Xiang Ting to come out behind him.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else to explain?" Lu Shijin asked strangely.

Xiang Ting said "um" and walked in front of Lu Shijin. Lu Shijin thought that Xiang Ting was going to say something important, so he quickly followed.

The two walked forward for a while, and stopped when they were far from the cave.

Lu Shijin stopped and asked him, "What are you going to tell me?"

The dense forest above his head covered the illuminating moonlight, and the forest was dark, and Xiang Ting's expression was also hidden in the deep night.

Xiang Ting: "Talk about your special physique."

Lu Shijin didn't expect that he was going to talk to himself about this, so he couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong?"

Xiang Ting: "You have a problem that you are knocked down, and there is no way to improve it?"

Lu Shijin thought for a while, "It doesn't seem to be."

It is precisely because the original owner has not found a way to improve his physique, so he is eager to find a strong support to protect himself.

In the original plot, the original owner fell in love with Xiang Ting, but he didn't know that Xiang Ting was a straight man, and he didn't know how to use his advantages to attract men.

In the end, after using some means to get Xiang Ting, it aroused the disgust of "straight man" Xiang Ting. Although Xiang Ting had to sleep with the original owner in order to evolve his ability, the original owner did not get the slightest love from Xiang Ting until he died.

In the original plot, Xiang Ting never cared about the physical constitution of the original owner, and he was indifferent to who the original owner was touched or touched.

So Xiang Ting put on a good night's sleep and didn't sleep, and came out to chat with Lu Shijin, which made Lu Shijin a little confused.

"But you can't do it this way," Xiang Ting said in a low voice, "what if you run into an enemy? You have no chance of resisting in a close fight, so you can only capture it."

Lu Shijin: "I understand the truth, but this is not something I can control. This is both pros and cons. It gave me a way to evolve without relying on the crystal nucleus, and it also gave me the weakness of being knocked down by others. "

Xiang Ting: "Have you tried any way, what if there is a way to reduce your sensitivity to others touching your body?"

"Will there be?" Lu Shijin asked suspiciously, "Why do you care so much about my physique?"

"We are teammates now. As the team leader, I have the responsibility of caring for teammates." Xiang Ting's tone was calm, it sounded like a normal communication between teammates, without ups and downs.

"You came out with me specifically to say this?" Lu Shijin found a tree and leaned on it, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Xiang Ting was silent for a moment, then said, "Maybe."

Lu Shijin's tone rose: "What does it mean to be possible?"

Xiang Ting: "'Maybe' means I haven't tried it yet, and I don't know if it will work."

Lu Shijin couldn't help but be interested, and stood up straight against the trunk, "Don't be rude, what can I do, tell me quickly!"

"Perhaps, do you know what hypnosis is?" Xiang Ting lowered his eyes, the shade of the tree above his head cast a shadow over his head, making the man's eyes deeper, "Hypnosis your body, giving you a certain Command, so that your body can only respond after hearing or feeling that command. In this way, it may help to improve your physique.”

Of course Lu Shijin knew that hypnosis had this effect, but would it apply to his body, which was soft and watery when touched?

And it sounds very difficult.

"You can hypnotize?" Lu Shijin looked at the man, but Xiang Ting denied it decisively, "No."

Lu Shijin: "...Then you tell me this?"

Xiang Ting said faintly, "I'm just suggesting, maybe you can give it a try."

Lu Shijin: "...I heard that if the hypnosis method is wrong, it is very likely that the person who is hypnotized will be immersed in the dream world forever and will never wake up again. Don't try blindly."

"But with your current body, it will be very difficult to live in the future. Since there is a way to improve, why not give it a try? If it were me, even if there was only a 1/1000 chance, I would try it, because, There is no worse situation than now." Xiang Ting's voice can be very low, and it sounds very demagogic.

Lu Shijin: "..."

Why does it sound like a hole was dug for him to jump in?

I look so cheating?

What kind of riddle did Xiang Ting play?

Lu Shi was confused.

"Even if I want to try, who can I find to help me hypnotize?" Lu Shijin asked, dumbfounded.

"Me." Xiang Ting took a step forward.

Lu Shijin's eyes widened: "Don't you know? You don't know how to hypnotize me? Are you sure you don't want to hurt me?"

"Evolution from the first-order to the second-order is done once, and it takes several times to evolve to the third-order." Xiang Ting suddenly changed the topic.

Lu Shijin didn't follow Xiang Ting's train of thought, and his face was blank: "???"

Xiang Ting stretched out a hand against the tree trunk and supported it on the side of Lu Shijin's head. The hormonal aura on the man's body enveloped Lu Shijin, and Lu Shijin's legs were soft again. fall.

"I don't know what dangers will be encountered along the way. What if the situation like today happens again, and what if I encounter a power user with a higher level than us? Not every time will be as lucky as this time. So I think, maybe, we should hurry up and evolve our abilities so that we can better protect ourselves and our teammates, are you right?"

As expected of being the leader of the team, he speaks a set of words.

In general, the leader is best at hiding his true purpose in these empty words and phrases, first making people confused and unable to find the North, so as to coax people into willingness to sacrifice their lives for him.

Lu Shijin wouldn't be so stupid to be deceived by him.

Therefore, looking through the fog and seeing the essence, what Xiang Ting said just now can be summed up in five words.

"Do you want a haircut?"

Lu Shijin looked at Xiang Ting and raised his eyebrows, as expected of you, even the excuses for cheating are so fresh and refined.

It seems that he still dislikes him in the morning, and at night he takes the initiative to ask him to play field battles.

Alas, this is the man.

"I heard Su Ling say that you are a straight man." Lu Shijin held his arms between him and Xiang Ting's chest, and said without a smile, "It can be said to be expedient and helpless during the day. You are not in danger, can you bear the last man?"

The straight man didn't change his face, "I'm just thinking about the long-term, thinking about danger in times of safety, and planning ahead."

"It's amazing to be able to use idioms?" Lu Shijin stretched out a finger and flicked on Xiang Ting's chest, and snorted, "Straight man? I think it's pseudo-straight?"

Xiang Ting held Lu Shijin's finger with the other hand, and the familiar over-inductance immediately ran across Lu Shijin's body along his finger, making him immediately forget what he was going to say.

This sensitive body is really in the way.

Xiang Ting asked, "Is it any different when I touch you and when other people touch you?"

The man's big palm went up along the fingers, touched the arm from the back of the hand, and then climbed from the arm to Lu Shijin's fragile neck, and his fingernails inadvertently rubbed Lu Shijin's fragile Adam's apple.

It was obvious that Xiang Ting could not have the ability to create thunder and lightning in the dark night, but Lu Shijin felt that he was missed by men. There were waves of electric currents rushing around, reaching the nerve endings of the cerebral cortex. The cool Lu Shijin almost couldn't restrain himself and wanted to sing it out. sound impulse.

"Yes..." Lu Shijin bit his lower lip hard, endured shame, and said very lowly, "When you touched me, it seemed like there was electricity."

"Is there electricity?" Xiang Ting didn't expect Lu Shijin to say this. He tried to use his ability to summon thunder and lightning, but failed, so the electricity that Lu Shijin said should not be caused by his ability.

Xiang Ting's eyes darkened, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, which was interesting.

"I thought of a way," Xiang Ting's hand stopped on Lu Shijin's neck and made no further movement, "Since you feel different from me touching you and others touching you, you can increase the touch between us by increasing the touch between us. , to deepen your body's memory of me, and let your body only react to me, so that it may reduce the influence of others on you."

Lu Shijin was about to be stunned and temporarily lost his ability to think. Following the man's inducement, he murmured, "Is this really possible?"

Xiang Ting said calmly: "Is it possible, you will know if you try it."

…………

The result of the trial was that Lu Shijin was pressed by the man on the trunk and had an in-depth exchange.

Never thought that Yingming I, like him, would have been deceived and succeeded.

In the end, Lu Shijin was numb from the electricity, and his body's reaction gradually became less than that at the beginning.

Lu Shijin thought in a daze, it seems that it is really useful?

"In the future, you will only be able to react if I touch you, you know?" Xiang Ting seemed to be suppressing his emotions, although he was trying his best to cover it up, his tone of voice became a little weird, "Otherwise you will be punished... If you live here, the water won't come out...it will make you miserable..."

Lu Shijin sank down and hugged the tree trunk, struggling to support his body, thinking with the only rationality, what is he doing? Are you hypnotizing me?

No, it's not like, it's not hypnosis at all!

It's training, right?

Xiang Ting asked Lu Shijin to turn over to face him, noticing that his lower lip had been bitten by himself, and he realized that his actions were a bit rude, so he deliberately slowed down.

The blood beads on those lips turned dark red in the dark night, like an enchanted red apple tempting to taste.

Xiang Ting really wanted to help Lu Shijin lick off the blood beads, but his Adam's apple rolled, and he didn't ask for a kiss after all.

The two tossed until late, but fortunately, no humans came up the mountain that night, and they spent another night in safety.

Lu Shijin had to stay in the middle of the night, so Xiang Ting simply accompanied him, and when the sky was gray and just dawned, the two returned to Shandong together.

Fortunately, the others were still sleeping, and no one noticed what the two of them had done all night.

The two lay down on their own positions, and when the sky was completely bright and everyone woke up one after another, they pretended to wake up with everyone and got up.

"Little Lu! Thank you for staying in the middle of the night!" Lin Dong enthusiastically came over and patted Lu Shijin on the shoulder, Xiang Ting looked at Lu Shijin subconsciously and observed Lu Shijin's reaction.

Maybe it's because his body is too tired. This time, Lu Shijin's reaction to Lin Dong's touch is not so great. Although his legs are still a little weak, it's not like he fell down as soon as he touched it.

Xiang Ting noticed Lu Shijin's change. He was initially dissatisfied with Lin Dong touching Lu Shijin, but now his eyes softened a little.

Tang Qin thought that Lu Shijin would go out with Xiang Ting and the others to find gasoline, and said thoughtfully, "Brother Lu didn't sleep in the second half of the night.

Lu Shijin said with a smile: "It's okay, I slept in the first half of the night, it doesn't matter, I used to work overtime and stay up late, and I only slept two or three hours a day. 's powers work."

Tang Qin listened to his insistence, and it was not easy to say anything.

Su Ling brought the pot and rice from Du Jiang, and used her supernatural ability to boil a pot of porridge for breakfast.

Everyone hadn't eaten a steaming breakfast for a long time, and the breakfast was extraordinarily sweet. Lin Dong even wiped out the last bit of porridge and soup left at the bottom of the pot.

After eating and drinking, Xiang Ting, Lu Shijin, and Du Jiang were about to set off down the mountain to find gasoline. The other three stayed on the mountain to dig for herbs, and by the way, they could also pick up some firewood to keep for heating later.

Du Jiang drove the two of them onto the provincial highway. According to experience, after driving on the provincial highway for a while, they could encounter towns.

Now humans have strict control over resources such as gasoline, gas stations have long been closed, and gasoline has been hidden by them.

As for where it was hidden, it would have to rely on Lu Shijin's "perspective eye" to find it.

It didn't take long for the car to drive to a town. Judging from the buildings outside, this town should have been a very prosperous town before the end of the world, and there should be a lot of resources in it.

They all counted on Lu Shijin's perspective to find things, and Lu Shijin naturally couldn't let them down.

Lu Shijin climbed up a high-rise building and stood overlooking the whole town. On the surface, he was watching with his eyes, but in fact he secretly directed 711 to scan the whole town.

However, it never occurred to me that before the gasoline was found, the 711 found a strange situation.

"This is a dead city," 711 said.

Lu Shijin was surprised: "Dead city? Not a single living person?"

711: "Yes, no matter whether it is a supernatural being or a human being, there is no one alive."

How is it possible that this small town is not small, and it does not look desolate. There are signs of human activities. It should be someone living here?

"What is that?!" Du Jiang was the first to discover the situation, and his voice became trembling from panic.

Lu Shijin looked at the place where Du Jiang pointed, and found that a group of "people" with strange walking postures were gathering from all directions towards the location of the high-rise building where they were located.

The movements of these people are without exception stiff and sluggish, just like the walking dead.

what's the situation? Zombies? ? ?
