After collecting all the supplies in the supermarket, they rested on the spot for a night and went to their next destination early the next morning.
They spent the next three days running around the abandoned city, collecting a lot of supplies, and did not encounter any more danger.
On the way back, they encountered a steel needle zombie that had reached level three in an alley.
On the walls on both sides of the alley, there were three human beings nailed to them with steel needles. They looked like they had just died.
Seeing a living person coming, the Steel Needle Zombie roared twice excitedly, and then pounced on Wang Mengcheng, who was walking at the front.
Maybe it just used up the steel needles to deal with the three humans. This time, it didn't shoot out any steel needles.
This is undoubtedly an exciting thing for Wang Mengcheng who likes close combat.
He pulled out the military thorn, covered it with a layer of gold-type superpowers, stepped forward and raised his hand to face the steel-needle zombie.
Chen Yu and He Zhanpeng, who were following him, were afraid that he would suffer a loss, so they quickly followed him to help.
Although it no longer has steel needles, it has been upgraded to level three, and its hardness has reached another level.
It was still difficult to deal with Wang Mengcheng's level 2 metal power. The thorn inserted into the zombie's shoulder could not be pulled out immediately.
Just when Wang Mengcheng tried hard to pull out the military thorn, the zombie raised a hand and grabbed Wang Mengcheng's neck. At the same time, it opened its mouth wide and tried to bite off his head.
When Chen Yu and He Zhanpeng rushed over, they all showed off their special powers to save him.
However, the distance between the zombies and Wang Mengcheng is too close. If he attacks rashly, he may accidentally injure Wang Mengcheng.
At this time, a green vine shot out with a "whoosh" sound and stuffed it into the zombie's mouth, allowing the zombie to bite the leaves in its mouth.
Wang Mengcheng took advantage of this gap and quickly moved aside. He Zhanpeng saw the right opportunity and erected an earth wall at the feet of the zombie to block its way. Chen Yu finally used his fire power to kill the zombie.
Except for Wang Mengcheng's misjudgment at the beginning, this wave of perfect coordination was seamless.
After dealing with the zombies, Wang Mengcheng was about to squat down and dig out crystal cores when he heard Jiang Ya yelling at the corner not far away.
"Who's there?"
When Jiang Ya finished shouting, Chen Yu at the front quickly stepped forward and pulled out the person hiding in the corner.
It was an unkempt woman wearing a very ill-fitting autumn coat.
Seeing that she was discovered, she whimpered and struggled: "Don't kill me, don't kill me! I didn't mean to peek at you."
The strange thing was that when Jiang Ya heard her voice, she felt a little familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere.
Just as she was thinking, Fu Zheng's voice came to her ears.
"The first time we went out, we met the fake pregnant woman at the door of the farmer's market."
When Fu Zheng mentioned it, Jiang Ya remembered that this was indeed the case.
She signaled Chen Yu to let her go, approached the woman and pretended to be surprised and asked, "Aren't you pregnant? Where is the child?"
When the woman heard Jiang Ya's question, she looked up at her curiously. After seeing Jiang Ya's appearance clearly, she suddenly bowed to her excitedly.
"It turns out it's you. I was worried that I wouldn't have a chance to thank you, but I didn't expect to meet you here."
"Thank you? What are you saying thank you for?" Jiang Ya was really confused.
She didn't save her life, and she didn't help her, so why should I thank her properly?
Then the woman told Jiang Ya what happened to her, and how Jiang Ya had unknowingly done her a big favor.
The woman's name is Lin Kui, a surgeon who happens to be on vacation at home before the end of the world.
Because she finally had a vacation, she just wanted to rest at home, so she asked her husband to stock up on a lot of food and planned to stay at home during the entire vacation.
It was precisely because of this unintentional move that the couple survived at the beginning of the apocalypse.
However, all the stability changed after his husband's brother came to ask for help.
Her husband and the two brothers have been friends since childhood. Even if Lin Kui felt that they were idle all day long and their characters were not very good and her husband alienated them, she could not ignore them when they came to ask for help.
After opening their mouths to eat, the inventory at home quickly ran out, so the three brothers planned to go out to look for supplies.
But once he left home, his husband never came back.
Lin Kui originally thought this was an accident, and didn't expect to hear one of them talking to his wife when he woke up one day.
"You should have less contact with Lin Kui from now on. My brother means that the next time you encounter a crisis, let her be used as cannon fodder like her damn husband."
"Huh? Isn't this not good?"
"What's wrong? It's not her. Do you want to die?"
At this moment, Lin Kui woke up from a dream. She wanted to avenge her husband, but how could she, a weak woman, stand up to two tall and strong men?
So she could only choose to endure it. When she first met Jiang Ya and Fu Zheng, she knew that the opportunity had come.
She took advantage of the man trying to push her in front of the zombies as bait to counterattack.
Lin Kui did not elaborate on how to fight back, but looking at her expression, you could tell that it was not a simple matter.
After listening to Lin Kui's narration, Jiang Ya did not ask too many questions, but asked her what happened to the three people who died on the wall.
Lin Kui didn't hide anything and told the truth about what he had just experienced.
"I met them on the way to escape. They were originally a team of ten, but we were the only ones left here. Just now we went out to look for food and encountered this zombie. Before we could react, we were killed by it. Nailed on the wall. I survived because I was at the end. If you hadn’t come, I think its next target would have been me.”
Although Lin Kui is ragged and unkempt, her narration is clear and her thoughts are orderly. It is not obvious that she has experienced one hardship after another.
Jiang Ya guessed that this was also related to her profession. A surgeon should be calm and determined in times of crisis.
After thinking about it, Jiang Ya asked tentatively: "Isn't there a base in Fengcheng? Why didn't you go there and instead wandered around the center of the city?"
Speaking of this, Lin Kui's eyes flashed with pain.
After a few seconds, he sighed: "We originally wanted to go, but the bridge to the base was blown up, and the boat parked on the shore either didn't have a key or was damaged. If we could go to the base earlier, we could The captain wouldn’t have died, and the team might not have dispersed so quickly.”
"Well, we are getting ready to go to the base. Do you want to come with us?"
It wasn't that Jiang Ya suddenly wanted to take her with her, it was because Jiang Ya took a fancy to Lin Kui's career as a surgeon.
If she remembered correctly, there was no doctor among the survivors of the Fengcheng base.
