Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

If it was caused by a new type of wandering body, perhaps it would be better for him to leave the area.

If not, well, he would have been tired from running around a long time ago, so it would be better to stop like this, at least he could still hear her voice before he fell asleep.

Li Shen simply packed his luggage in the room.

Actually, there weren't many things in it. A small bag could hold a few pieces of clothes, some energy drinks, food, and a pot of carefully cultivated but still somewhat dry jasmine.

"What are you doing?" Xia Jiumeng's mental clone looked at his actions with some confusion.

Although she only has consciousness and no eyes, she can still see. She is not a simple spiritual imprint, she can do a lot of things.

Comforting Li Maomao is just one of its small functions.

"..."

"If you ignore me, you will regret it." She said these harsh words proudly in Li Shen's mind.

After Li Shen packed up his things, he looked back at the room, pursed his lips and closed the door.

He didn't know where he was going.

Not far from the tall building, several men in gray-yellow combat uniforms were walking together.

"The ice expert you are talking about lives here?" The man with a crew cut among the group took a look at the dilapidated building in the distance and felt that it was a bit dangerous?

This product from decades ago won’t collapse, right?

"Yes, he is very strong, but a little cold-blooded and... withdrawn." The man with the mushroom head paused before speaking, mainly because he didn't know how to describe it.

"Cold-blooded and heartless?"

"Yes. Once he finds anyone showing signs of infection, he will immediately eliminate them."

"I heard his nickname is the Dawn Eraser. He's very scary and has killed many infected people."

The mushroom-headed man said this with some fear.

"Isn't this abnormal? Why not kill them after they've mutated? They can't be saved, so are they going to keep them alive until they mutate and then kill themselves?"

The crew-haired man said angrily, "That's it? Cold-blooded and heartless? Terrible?"

As expected, people from these small places are just sissy. They have never seen what happens overseas, where there are huge numbers of people dying.

"Okay...right..." The mushroom-haired guy was choked by the buzz-cut guy's words.

"Stop dawdling. Take me to see him." The man with a crew cut waved his hand and walked towards the building first.

He came from a base in a large northern city to gather some talent to form a rescue team and see if he could bring back some supplies and uninfected civilians.

There are now wandering bodies all over the world. Although the initial years were chaotic and difficult, some powerful people have recently formed groups to form bases and cleared out safe areas.

As for the official, they are not reliable at all.

It can even be said that if it weren't for them, things might not have been so bad. After all, if the news hadn't been concealed, people would have been caught off guard by the sudden appearance of such a large number of stray bodies and been crushed in an instant.

But now he still remembers that scene that was comparable to hell.

However, the population is sparse and many things cannot be carried out, so the major bases discussed and decided to set up a search and rescue organization to try to save the fate of mankind and save people.

He was from the Northern Yunfei Base and was assigned to this area. After a few days here, he heard that there was a very powerful ice-type evolver and became very interested in him, so he found the mushroom-headed man to lead the way to meet him.

If possible, absorb them into the team.

As soon as they went upstairs, they saw a man in a black coat coming down carrying a cloth bag and a pot of flowers.

Perhaps because Li Shen was so famous, many weaker people were stationed nearby, so the man with the crew cut met quite a few people along the way.

The man with a crew cut couldn't help but sneer at the sight.

"In this life of uncertainty, I still have the energy to grow flowers. I'm not afraid that they and the flowers will be eaten by stray animals."

The mushroom-haired man who was leading the way subconsciously looked back and fell silent.

This person...isn't he...

"Brother Yang, this is the person you are looking for!"

"Who?"

"The one holding the flowers who just walked over." The mushroom-haired man held his forehead helplessly.

Doesn't this guy even know about someone before looking for one?

"Him? Why didn't you remind me?" The man with a crew cut glared at him and immediately turned around and shouted at Li Shen's back.

"Brother! Wait!"

Seeing that Li Shen did not stop, the man with a crew cut suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked his way.

Li Shen looked at the man in front of him expressionlessly. He wrapped up the jasmine in his hand, put down the cloth bag, condensed ice crystals and took a defensive posture.

"do what."

Seeing this, the crew cut man quickly waved his hands and said, "Uh, don't get me wrong, I mean no harm."

"Just, I want to ask if you want to join my team."

"Not interested." Li Shen picked up the cloth bag and walked around him.

He doesn't need teammates, not when he's doing well, let alone now.

The man with the crew cut saw him continue to leave and chased him again. "Hey, brother, listen to me, I'm from the Northern Yunfei Base. I'm here to organize a rescue team..."

He kept talking as he chased Li Shen. Li Shen's face became colder and colder, and the coldness all over his body was so strong that frost was left behind when he walked.

"I said, I'm not interested, don't bother me."

Finally, Li Shen was fed up and raised his hand to release an ice wall to completely separate the man with a crew cut.

Finally, no one bothers him anymore.

Half an hour later, Li Shen stopped in the forest near the old site of Linkong.

Xia Jiumeng's conscious clone's voice rang out, "Why don't you agree to him?"

Li Shen just silently opened the zipper of the cloth bag, took out a bottle of water and carefully watered the jasmine flowers.

Xia Jiumeng’s conscious clone “.......” ((╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻) What on earth does the main consciousness like about this damn man?

She couldn't help wanting to complain but she suddenly realized something.

"Warm reminder, there are more than a dozen stray bodies approaching from three kilometers ahead."

Li Shen still didn't react, but the hand that was originally reaching for the clothes moved slightly and turned into energy drinks and chocolate.

After eating a few bites, he sat down against a tree.

"Why don't you leave?"

"Those stray bodies seem pretty powerful."

"Hey!"

You bastard, if you ignore me today, I will make you out of reach tomorrow!

She was so angry that if it weren't for the barrier of time and space, she would have gone back and merged with the main consciousness to go on strike!

Li Shen, who was leaning against a tree with his eyes closed, opened his eyes.

coming.

I didn't expect that the voice in my head was right. There was indeed a wandering body coming, and it was at least around level 35.

(Hint: The wandering bodies in the Heili world are the same as those in the sky, and are divided into levels.)

Black ice crystals condensed in his hands as he slowly looked at the approaching figure in the distance.

Ever since the full-scale outbreak of wandering bodies a few years ago, the world has been in chaos since the truth about the mutation could no longer be suppressed.

The peace that could have been preserved was completely shattered, the world fell into chaos, and the fear of death drove everyone crazy.

Those people above had evacuated safely when the disaster broke out, leaving only those who had no resistance and no reaction to face the end of the world.

People have long been numb from struggling to survive in this broken world.

He originally wanted to change his clothes and leave, but the voice said that a stray body was coming. Whether it was true or false, he couldn't just sit there and watch.

You have to know that the relationship between wandering bodies and humans is absolutely hostile, it's either you die or I live.

Although he still didn't know what the thing in his head that disguised itself as her voice was, if it was a new stray body, it would not have followed him out without taking action, and even reminded him that a stray body was approaching.

"Hoot!"

Several strange and ugly stray bodies that looked like both humans and deer finally came in front of Li Shen. The ones in the front roared first, opened their jagged mouths as big as half their faces, and rushed towards Li Shen, holding up the huge bone knives connected to their bodies.

It looked like it was about to hit Li Shen, but he reacted extremely quickly and retreated. The cold air in his hand surged, and several huge black ice crystals instantly pierced through the bodies of several stray bodies.

Xia Jiumeng's conscious clone noticed that a stray body was about to attack and warned, "Be careful to the left."

Li Shen, who was fighting with the wandering body, suddenly heard a voice in his head and subconsciously turned to the right. A sharp bone blade chopped down from the left. If the voice in his head had not reminded him, he would probably have been seriously injured.

Although their levels were similar, fortunately Li Shen was still slightly better and quickly dealt with the wandering body.

However, Xia Jiumeng's conscious clone still noticed that he hesitated when killing the last stray body.

"Why did you pause when you killed that one?"

Li Shen still didn't say anything, but when he picked up the core, he picked up a police badge that fell on the ground, put it away silently, and habitually wanted to reach into his pocket but found nothing.

Yes, his food supply has not yet been replenished.

After a pause he turned and walked back.

"You're not leaving?"

Perhaps because her voice touched his emotions too much or perhaps because she was a little too enthusiastic, Li Shen finally answered her.

"What the hell are you?"

Seeing that something was going to happen, Xia Jiumeng's consciousness clone quickly said, "I am her consciousness clone. You can think of me as the supernatural power she left for you."

Li Shen would never believe such words. Those... were just dreams.

Seeing that he couldn't get any information about her identity, he turned to ask, "What do you want to do?"

Xia Jiumeng's conscious clone thought about the instructions left behind when the main consciousness separated, and tried his best to accompany and protect Li Shen, collect information about this world and time, organize and classify it, and then wait for the main consciousness to arrive.

But she couldn't say that directly, so she said, "Well, let's team up and see the world."

"Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you or the world." She simply completed the instruction.

Although Li Shen didn't say anything else, his attitude towards her was obviously better than before, at least he replied to her.

*

"Click."

The room that was about to lose its owner was opened again.

Li Shen carefully placed the jasmine pot in his hand on the sunny windowsill so that it could better receive the sunlight.

Since the things in his brain posed no threat for the time being and he had not mutated, he decided not to leave for the time being.

After putting everything back to its original place, he took some money and left the room to go to a nearby supermarket.

Although the world is in chaos, it is only on the outside. Some cities are still very "normal".

"Ding dong."

The supermarket owner heard the bell, looked up, and smiled knowingly when he saw the person coming.

"Mr. Li is here?"

"I didn't see you this morning and thought you wouldn't come today. I was almost ready to close the shop."

The boss was a woman in her forties with a bright smile on her face. She took out a candy jar full of chocolates from under the counter.

Mr. Li, the powerful soldier who evolved, has been buying a can of chocolate candy every week since he came here, so the boss lady has become very familiar with him over the past few months.

"Thank you." Li Shen put the money on the counter.

"You're welcome, but Mr. Li, I'm afraid there may be no chocolate jars next week." The proprietress said with some sadness.

"What's going on?" Li Shen frowned slightly.

"Well, it's those powerful people. They found that some powerful people with high Evol would rather set up bases outside than join the cities under their jurisdiction, so they simply came up with the supply restrictions."

The proprietress sighed and half-closed the door of the small supermarket.

These upper class people really don't take human lives seriously.

In the past, they hid the fact that humans would be infected and turned into wandering bodies from people, until the mutation outbreak could no longer be suppressed, and then they simply abandoned people and evacuated. Now that humans have finally struggled to survive, they have imposed restrictions again because people are unwilling to surrender. They really don't care about the lives of ordinary people.

But what can be done?

There are wandering bodies everywhere in the outside world. If we don’t get weapons and food from those safe cities, how can we survive?

Not everyone has evol.

The fact that this old Linkong site is still inhabited is all thanks to Mr. Li. After people from nearby cities learned that there was a strong person here, both ordinary people and evolved ones rushed here. Gradually, over the past few months, this place has become like a normal city, although there are still stray bodies.

But the evolvers who stayed here all worked together to maintain safety here, so life was still bearable, and there were also two evolvers in her family.

"Restrictions?" Li Shen didn't quite understand what this meant.

"Hey, this is a bit long. If you don't mind, Mr. Li, I can talk to you after I close the door."

"Okay." Li Shen nodded and made room for him.

After the proprietress closed the supermarket door, she poured Li Shen a glass of water.

"Mr. Li, you don't know that someone in my family lives in a safe city nearby, so I was able to open a supermarket here. But a while ago, I heard that the exchange rate has increased again, and there are even restrictions on the quantity."

The proprietress looked worried. Although it is said that one day is one day, who doesn't want to live longer?

Ordinary people have finally found a way out, but now they are blocked again. Who can bear it?

She didn't have much money, and she was afraid that by then she could only afford the lowest-grade weapons and dry food, and she might not even have energy drinks and candy.

"why?"

The proprietress shook her head helplessly. "Why else could it be? The larger settlements are all setting up bases to attract people to join them. Those safe cities are also short of people. When the bases are established, won't they be competing with them?"

"They're using this method to force us outsiders to take sides."

Being able to build a base must mean there is a stable source of food and weapons. Coupled with the various gimmicks and expectations of so-called human beings banding together for warmth and surviving in this doomsday, in fact, many ordinary people and those with low strength have already followed the news.

Her family is not in a hurry because they want to wait and see.

But the safe city requires a large number of cores and some energy, and they are unwilling to come to a place like the outside world that is full of strange energy and wandering bodies. The best thing, of course, is to exchange cheap things directly with these people.

But if everyone goes to the base and has other ways to survive, who would still come to them to trade in the safe city?

Isn't this urgent?
