Chapter 102： the past

Ye Xuan followed Fan Jiangcai's guidance and the footsteps left on the ground for about two hours, and finally saw the extremely tall pine tree they were talking about.

He stopped under the tree, looked up at the pine tree that was thicker than ordinary mutant plants, and whispered to the vines wrapped around his wrist: "Is there something wrong here? Why do I feel that the more Going this way, the fewer mutant plants?"

There are few people in the northwest, and there are many places that have not been developed much, and this mountain is one of them.

According to common sense, there should be a lot of year-old plants on this mountain before the end of the world, and after the end of the world, this kind of year-long plant is more likely to become a mutant plant, but when he walks to this place, it can be regarded as a deep mountain. After reaching the middle, but not many mutant plants were seen, it was really abnormal.

The vine swaying on his wrist paused for a few seconds, then floated into the air, first bent forward and made a nodding motion, then swayed the upper part left and right to make a shaking motion, and finally the whole The vines were stretched into a straight line, and they pointed straight towards the depths of the woods.

Ye Xuan studied his actions for a long time, and asked uncertainly, "You mean to say that there is a problem here, but there is no danger?"

Vines nodded again.

Ye Xuan glanced at a pair of vines eager to try, then glanced at the forest with no end in sight, took out a bottle of energy drink and a prepared sandwich from the space, leaned against the tree and ate them all. Standing up straight, he waved to the vine: "Come on, since you said there is no danger, then I will go in with you to have a look. By the way, I told you before that you should learn human writing, why it took so long You still rely on gestures, are you not being obedient?"

Vine: ... do you remember this?

——

After walking for another ten minutes, Ye Xuan finally walked out of the forest and saw the place where Fan Jiangcai and the others said there were no plants around.

Unlike the forest that didn't fall much snow just now because there were leaves blocking it, because there were no plants for buffering, after two consecutive days of heavy snowfall, a thick layer of snow had accumulated, which was almost bigger than that of an adult. Human knees are even higher.

And the traces of Fan Jiangcai and the others staying overnight have long been covered up by the newly falling snow.

Fortunately, when they were choosing a place to spend the night, they didn't foolishly find a low-lying area that would be easily buried by snow, but instead tried to find it in a high place, which allowed Ye Xuan to find it in a vast white world. That rather hidden hole.

Although the vines didn't give him any more hints, but after walking outside the cave, with just one glance, he knew that this cave was the place he was looking for.

He looked around and made sure that no strong mutant plants or mutant animals would suddenly appear to block his retreat, and then he carefully stepped into the cave——

Wait a moment!

After walking for more than ten steps, before reaching the place where the light at the entrance of the cave disappeared, Ye Xuan suddenly found that his ability level had improved significantly, and he had almost reached the edge of the mid-fifth-order!

But he clearly just broke through the fifth rank not long ago, and now he is still in a stable stage of strength, how can it be improved?

Ye Xuan suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. He stopped in place, stood quietly for a few minutes, closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes in his abilities, but found that the level of his abilities was different from that of his abilities. It was the same as before, not the slightest change.

"That's not right..."

He was sure that he only felt the improvement of his ability level after entering the cave, but now he has stood here for a few minutes, much longer than the few steps just now, but he has not felt any change in his strength, which is obviously inconsistent. common sense.

He looked up and asked the vine hanging in the air: "Do you know what's going on?"

The vines, who had been hanging in front of Ye Xuan, suddenly stopped in place after hearing his question. After being stiff for a few seconds, he nodded slowly, and kept his 90-degree human-like bending motion. .

Ye Xuan looked at it puzzled and guessed: "Are you expressing a request to me?"

The vines are bent more at an angle.

That's weird!

Ye Xuan and Vine have been together for many years. Most of the relationship between the two is that Ye Xuan provides the Vine with abilities, and then instructs it to do something. Although the vines often act coquettishly at him on weekdays, asking for the flesh of a mutant beast to absorb or ask for some superpowers, but those are all petty jokes, like this solemnly asking him to do something , Ye Xuan is the first time to meet.

Thinking of the two lifetimes before and after, especially the help that the vines helped me when I was reborn in this life, the feelings that have been with me for many years still helped the sensibility to overcome the rationality of self-preservation.

"Oh, you lead the way, let's go!"

——

After walking through the outer perimeter of the cave where Fan Jiangcai and the others lived, Ye Xuan saw a path so narrow that at most two people could enter side by side, took out a flashlight from the space, and carefully walked into this crack in the rock that did not see a trace of light. middle.

This road is dark and winding, even if Ye Xuan has a flashlight in his hand, it can only help him illuminate the road under his feet, and it is not enough to support him to see the road blocked by the protruding rocks, he can only vaguely I feel that although I am climbing high and touching low now, I should be walking in one direction all the time.

In other words, he was walking all the way towards the center of the mountain.

I don't know how many hours of walking, but Ye Xuan, a person who has strengthened his physical strength but has abilities, feels that his legs do not belong to him as if they are filled with lead, and he is ready to stop again and take out food from the space for a short supply At that time, he finally saw a ray of light that did not belong to a flashlight in front of him.

He bit his lip, put away the energy drink he just took out, picked up the flashlight and walked towards the light.

A few minutes later, after turning over a table that was as high as two people, Ye Xuan finally saw a natural stone room of about ten square meters, and a dark green diamond-shaped light-transmitting crystal in the center of the stone room was what he saw from a distance. to the light source.

In the depths of the mountains, Ye Xuan felt at this moment that he had come to a virgin forest with few human beings. He smelled the fragrance of grass and trees, and even mixed with some unknown flowers.

As if bewitched, he walked towards the unknown crystal in the center of the stone room step by step, and then extended his hand towards it.

"boom--"

At the moment when the fingertips touched the crystal, the originally indestructible crystal suddenly turned into a streamer and poured into the small leaf mark in Ye Xuan's left palm, and Ye Xuan also fainted on the ground at this moment.

——

"Attention to everyone in the base in City B, everyone in the base, please note that there are zombie tides in the four directions of the base, southeast, northwest, and it is expected to arrive at the gate outside the base within ten minutes! Please all third-order and above elemental abilities in the base. Those with special abilities immediately go to the top of the nearest city wall to prepare for long-range attacks; other ability users immediately gather at the nearest city gate and go out to the base with the troops to fight; ordinary people, please go to the nearest small square according to the division , prepare for support! Say it again, everyone please pay attention, the zombie tide will…”

"Ye Xuan, I'm in charge of guarding the north gate with the troops. Come with me!"

"Fuck, there's a **** team of spiritual zombies in command!"

"What level is the ice-type zombie at the front that looks like a college student, my attack is useless against it!"

"No way, our abilities are all used up, and the crystal cores are all absorbed!"

"Ye Xuan, shall we take a gamble?"

"Ye Xuan, be careful!"

...

When Ye Xuan woke up from the coma, his face was covered with tears unconsciously.

He finally remembered the complete experience of his previous life, to be precise, the experience after his thirty-fourth birthday.

In the tenth year of the apocalypse, on a seemingly ordinary morning one month after his birthday, a rare special-level alarm suddenly sounded over City B, directly breaking the peace of the day.

The zombies that were many times more than the previous zombie sieges surrounded the entire B city base without any warning, and directly pulled the B city base into a battle of survival against zombies. Ye Xuan, the B city base The permanent residents, naturally, also participated in the war under the call of the base.

When the alarm sounded, he happened to be with Zhang Shaoqi, and was dragged by him to the North Gate where he was in charge of defending.

At that time, they did not expect that this time the zombie siege was not only organized by spiritual zombies, but also several high-level zombies took the lead. Those high-level zombies are invulnerable to swords and fire, and a single zombie can kill hundreds of thousands of superhumans who are fighting on the frontal battlefield, and they can tear apart the temporarily organized formation by themselves. It's a big hole, and it can only rely on a large number of elemental power users to resolve its attacks on the city wall again and again.

However, the level of the strongest power user in the base is also lower than that of the high-level zombies leading below. Even if there are wood and purification power users such as Ye Xuan who continuously provide them with crystal cores for assistance, they will also It is difficult to fill the huge gap caused by different power levels.

Seeing that the power users on the city wall have exhausted their physical strength and power one by one, but the zombies below have no intention of retreating. The base side can only smash the boat and let these power users on the high wall also go down to participate in the battle at close range. , trying to use a more lethal close-range attack to find an opportunity to kill the high-level zombies headed by them.

after that……

Ye Xuan raised his hand and wiped his eyes that burst into tears again, recalling the last scene in his memory.

At the time on the northern city wall, among all the abilities that could still fight, the strongest were Zhang Shaoqi from the Fire Element and him from the Wood Element. After a few brief discussions, the two of them decided to join forces to deal with the Ice Elemental Zombie.

According to their plan, he first gave birth to a few mutant plants with powerful attack ability, and took advantage of the few seconds that the ice zombie was restrained, wrapped its limbs with vines, and then Zhang Shaoqi took this opportunity to release it. The fireball he had gathered for a long time.

The fireball hit the zombie's face and instantly melted most of its face.

The two of them thought that the zombie would die like this, but in the next second, two long ice swords appeared in mid-air, piercing straight through their chests. At the same time, the screaming zombies also fell to the ground.

It died, but also took them with its final attack.

After realizing this, Ye Xuan completely lost consciousness.
