Chapter 59： Memories

In the dim stairwell, a man with an inch head in a thick black down jacket lit a cigarette, took a sharp puff and said to his companion who was lighting a cigarette, "Is the guy on the third floor still awake? It's been a whole day. , should the loss of strength be recovered?"

The man in the gray jacket took a deep breath of his companion's cigarette smell and finally lit his own. He took a sharp breath and blew out a beautiful smoke ring and said, "It's just you, an idiot, who believes it. , he has a fever!"

"fever?!"

"Be quiet!" Gray clothes said something unpleasant to him, and then whispered gossip: "You guys who were downstairs didn't know, all of us who stayed upstairs saw him when he was carried in. That blushing... how could it not be a fever when it's so red?"

After he said something about the black down jacket, he looked around subconsciously, and found that no one noticed the movement here, so he lowered his voice and said, "Isn't a fever a precursor to turning into a zombie? Why don't you drive people out and stay in the building? What if something happens to Lily?"

"Hmph, you're going to talk?" Gray clothes hooked his mouth and said with a bit of sarcasm: "When the two of them first came out, someone said that he had a fever, and he was not allowed to enter the building. Then what? The one who was following him directly tied the person with vines and hung him in the air, if his boss came back, he would apologize and apologize, and the person would still be drenched in snow! Who would dare to touch that evil star's brow?"

Thinking of the vines all over the sky that he saw before, and the knee-high snow outside now, the man in the black down jacket couldn't help but shivered, but he was still reluctant: "Is this the case?"

"Otherwise? The boss on the third floor is his own uncle, and now he is guarding him with an ability user who doesn't recognize his six relatives. What do you say?" His shoulders sighed with emotion: "Okay, it's different from the same people, don't think about it. I'll go back first, you can take it slowly."

…

Ye Xuan on the other side didn't know that he was the talk of the two power users who came out to smoke on the fifth floor. Of course, even if he knew about it, he wouldn't care. The unconscious Ling Jiaze was on him.

Just like when the two of them met for the first time in C University after the end of the world, Ling Jiaze was hot all over his body and didn't react at all to what was happening outside. If it wasn't for the fact that the crystal core that Ye Xuan put in his hand showed signs of being absorbed, he wouldn't be able to tell whether Ling Jiaze had a fever or an upgrade.

But even knowing that he was ascending the stairs, Ye Xuan couldn't let go of his worries. Since he brought him back and helped him change his clothes, he never left the bedside except to say hello to Shen Ping when he went out.

He vaguely felt that he was more afraid of Ling Jiaze's accident than a few months ago.

He didn't know if this was a good sign, but he didn't want Ling Jiaze to have an accident, it was true.

In addition, he also used his rare free time to recall the events of his previous life, and used the things he had learned in two lifetimes to combine a vague truth.

—

In the last life, Shen Ping brought people to Xiangping Town and was first trapped here, because he didn't know that all the zombies in the town were controlled by spiritual zombies to keep them in captivity. He did not choose to deal with the mental zombies in the warehouse like this life. , but decided to lead people to break through.

He is strong and powerful, but there are too many zombies in Xiang Pingzhen, and they were quickly cornered by the zombies.

Just when Shen Ping was about to die, the heavy snow in January came. The mental zombies who manipulated all the zombies and several of its subordinates fell into a deep sleep when the heavy snow came, and naturally they lost control over the other zombies in the town.

After the encirclement was lifted, Shen Ping finally took the opportunity to escape from Xiangping Town. It's just that his body was injured when he broke through the siege, and his abilities were overdrawn. He couldn't survive the promotion that came soon after, and he became the second young master who died young in the northwest base in his impression.

As for Xiang Pingzhen, Ye Xuan's impression of this place actually came from what he mentioned when he heard casual complaints when he was helping to grow plants at the base.

He vaguely remembered that person saying: "If the batch of supplies from Xiangping Town is still there, why do we need to work overtime to produce vegetables from here?"

This is a low-level wood-type power user. The total amount of vegetables produced in ten days and half a month is not comparable to the amount of Ye Xuan's work in one day. On weekdays, Ye Xuan listens to all kinds of complaints from him, so I listened to him. When I went to Xiangping Town, a large number of materials were destroyed, so I just listened to it and didn't take it to heart.

If he hadn't accidentally heard this name at the base, he wouldn't have remembered that he had heard such a gossip before. After all, it was already a period of time after the end of the apocalypse when he arrived in City B, and the matter in Xiangping Town had long been resolved and forgotten. .

Now that I think about it, the destroyed materials in his mouth should be the ones collected by the space zombies. Although I don't know what happened later, I think no one in the last life got this batch of materials from this space zombie.

So he was at ease.

…

"Tuk Tuk—"

After hearing the knock on the door, Ye Xuan half turned around and said, "Please come in."

Shen Ping walked in with a tray containing a large bowl of noodles. Looking at Ling Jiaze, who was still lying on the bed with a flushed face, he asked worriedly, "Is his fever still going?"

Ye Xuan put a towel on Ling Jiaze's forehead to cool down, wiped the sweat from his neck and said, "This is because of the high fever caused by the rise of the stairs, which is different from the fever caused by inflammation in the body. After the breakthrough, the temperature will drop."

Shen Ping walked beside Ling Jiaze's bed and said to Ye Xuan, "I'm looking at him, you should have some food first."

Ye Xuan shook his head, "I'm not worried."

Shen Ping sighed, he originally thought that his nephew was shaving his head and being a burden to Ye Xuan, but he didn't expect that Ye Xuan's feelings for him were not bad at all. Although it is difficult to judge whether it is love or not, at least it will not be light in his heart.

He put the tray aside, sat beside Ling Jiaze's bed and asked Ye Xuan, "How long will it take him to wake up like this?"

"I do not know either."

Because he was inexplicably unconscious for three days when he ascended the rank before, Ye Xuan was not sure whether Ling Jiaze could break through and wake up within a day like the power users he knew in his previous life, so he did not give Shen Ping a word. , so as to avoid extra branches.

Afraid of Shen Ping's further questions, Ye Xuan took the lead in changing the subject: "By the way, Second Uncle Shen, have you decided when to leave here?"

"It is tentatively scheduled for tomorrow morning, but if the snow is too heavy, we will have to stay out of town for a few days. Fortunately, the blockade of this street has been lifted. We received a batch of supplies from several nearby streets and insisted on a period of time. Time is still fine."

Ye Xuan looked at the flying snow outside the window, and said with a heavy tone: "If possible, I suggest that Uncle Shen take someone out of here as soon as possible."

"What's up?"

"He's been stuck in front of this second-order hurdle for a while, and he hasn't made any progress. As a result, he fell into a coma and started to break through today. Don't you think it's a coincidence?"

"You mean Jia Ze's coma has something to do with the heavy snow?"

"It's more of a result of accumulation, otherwise he wouldn't be the only one who passed out as soon as it snowed." Ye Xuan affirmed Ling Jiaze's own strength and said, "But I think it has something to do with the heavy snow. It snowed. A few days ago, I felt that my powers had become more active, and today I clearly felt that the powers had been strengthened. On the surface, this is a good thing, but the last time I felt this way was the first heavy snow after the end of the world. Once, if I remember correctly, the zombies also became stronger after the snow. So I was thinking, will this heavy snow make the zombies more powerful?"

First, he had a fight with zombies, and then he was ripped off with a bunch of old fried dough sticks for a long time, and now Shen Ping, who was facing a comatose nephew, suddenly heard such a terrible guess from him, and his whole person was not well.

Seeing that Shen Ping's face was not good-looking, Ye Xuan pretended to smile and said: "Of course, this is all my guess, and I can't make it right. But I don't think there are many people who take the road from Xiangping Town to City B. It won’t be easy to leave sooner or later, and it’s better to leave this weird place as soon as possible than to stay here for a while longer.”

Shen Ping was silent for a while. He didn't answer when he was going to leave, but said meaningfully, "Ye Xuan, I can't see through you more and more."

Ye Xuan looked back without hesitation, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I am a human being or not a zombie. What difference does it make if I see through or not?"

"Haha, well said!" Shen Ping didn't get angry when he touched a soft nail, but simply put his investigation of Ye Xuan aside. Just like what he said, he can't be a zombie, the enemy of mankind. What's the point of investigating what secrets he is hiding?

"What's a good thing to say?" Ling Jiaze heard his little uncle's laughter as soon as he woke up. He closed his eyes and asked a question. He rubbed his slightly sore eyes, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he faced two pairs of straight eyes beside the bed. Staring blankly into his eyes, he was so frightened that he sat up and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?!"

"Why are you looking at you like this?" The joy of seeing him wake up was completely dissipated by his words, Shen Ping poked his forehead in a happy mood, and said angrily, "You've been hot all day. , don't you know?"

Ling Jiaze blinked, his face innocent, "Ah? Am I feverish? I think I'm in very good health now."

Ye Xuan looked at him with a smile, and said gently: "You fell unconscious and started to level up when you came out of the underground warehouse. Now you are a second-order ability user."

Thinking of how troublesome Ye Xuan said about the ability user to upgrade, and the need to use the crystal core and find an opportunity, Ling Jiaze touched his nose, and said in a stunned manner: "I feel like I just slept, so this is the upgrade. already?"

Ye Xuan didn't say how scary his appearance of being awake from high fever for a few hours was, but brought him a coat, took him to the window in the corridor and said, "Let's feel the world of the second-order power user. !"

Ling Jiaze stretched his right hand out of the window, closed his eyes and quietly felt the cold snowflakes gradually melting in his palm for a while. A moment later, his right hand, which was covered with snow, suddenly clenched his fist, and hundreds of sharp ice blades appeared outside the window in an instant.

"This…"

It seems that he didn't expect that so many ice blades would condense out of his power-charged blow, Ling Jiaze was stunned for a moment, his right hand controlling the ice blades was hanging in the air, not knowing what to do next.

Ye Xuan reminded him: "There is no one in the building opposite."

Ling Jiaze responded and turned his wrist. More than a hundred ice blades spun neatly in the air and flew straight to the wall of the opposite building, stabbing them in a loop.

"The power is not yet..."

"Crack-"

Before Shen Ping finished saying a word of praise, he heard a sound outside.

The three of them became quiet in an instant, and invariably looked in the direction from which the Ka Ka sound came, and saw that there were cracks on the wall of the solid red brick house opposite.

Shen Ping, Ye Xuan, Ling Jiaze: …

The crackling sound soon turned into a crackling sound, and the cracks went radially all the way around the place where the ice blade sank, and the neatly stacked walls quickly became skewed. With a sudden "bang", a brick fell out of the wall overwhelmed. This brick is like the first card of a domino falling, and it successfully falls off the wall with the surrounding bricks.

"Boom!"

With a sudden loud noise, a large block of bricks fell, and the entire outer wall of the opposite building disappeared with the loud noise.

A few seconds later, the building was also in chaos—

"What happened?"

"Quick, look at what's going on outside!"

…

Ling Jiaze: …

Ye Xuan coughed lightly, and decisively threw the pot out: "The quality of this building is really bad, the tofu **** project!"

Shen Ping: I believe in your evil!
