august chronicle

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was very awkward for a moment.

"Zichen..." A somewhat weak voice broke the awkwardness in the air. It was the voice of the girl over there.

Both of them looked at the girl over there.

The girl's face was pale and her legs were limp, but she still tremblingly walked towards Lin Zichen.

Chen Shaoze hadn't paid much attention to this girl's appearance when dealing with zombies just now, but now she took a closer look and found that this girl was very good-looking. Although her pretty face was paled by the zombies and her makeup was ruined, she was very annoying. people love.

The girl walked to Lin Zichen's side, grabbed Lin Zichen's arm, her big eyes were filled with tears, it seemed that the zombies had frightened her a lot.

"Your girlfriend?" Chen Shaoze asked Lin Zichen.

Lin Zichen shook his head, frowned and looked at the girl next to him. He didn't speak, but the disgust in his eyes did not hide at all.

The girl saw Lin Zichen's eyes, and the tears in her eyes fell straight down. "Zichen, I know, it's my fault for hurting you, I shouldn't have followed, but I'm afraid, it's so dark there."

If it was Chen Shaoze who faced such a crying girl with pear blossoms and rain, he would have hugged her into his arms softly and comforted her in every way.

However, Lin Zichen just played his cards out of common sense in such a way that he pulled out the girl's tightly grasped arm.

The girl looked at her empty hands and cried even more fiercely.

"If you think there are too few zombies here, you can cry a little louder."

When the girl heard this, she immediately stopped crying, tears were hanging on her red glasses, her pretty pink nose sucked and sucked, it was very pitiful.

"Well, don't argue too much with girls." Chen Shaoze couldn't help but said, although Chen Shaoze is romantic and likes to keep some peach blossoms everywhere, but he is very compassionate and sympathetic to women, he has never said a word of sarcasm , He always finds it difficult to understand when others talk about women. "If we don't discuss it, what should we do next?"

"I haven't asked your name yet."

"Oh, Chen Shaoze, this place is not very peaceful now, zombies can be seen everywhere, it is not convenient to move alone, how about we go together?" Chen Shaoze said, no matter what, he would follow behind Lin Zichen.

"Yes." Lin Zichen readily agreed. "How do we go next?"

"Go to X City. I heard that X City has established a protection zone for supernatural beings. It will be much safer where we go." Chen Shaoze said, in fact, the system told him these things.

"Ah."

The two of them discussed it, and they were not in a hurry to set off. Lin Zichen had just awakened his powers, and his body was still a little weak. Chen Shaoze asked him to rest where he was, and went to help Lin Zichen and the others find some food.

In fact, there is a lot of food in Chen Shaoze's system space, but Chen Shaoze can't take it out openly, because the system cannot be exposed.

They are in the supermarket now, so Chen Shaoze quickly found some fast food and water and went back.

Chen Shaoze had already eaten earlier, so he was not hungry now. While waiting for Lin Zichen and the others to eat, the system spoke.

System: [Reminder: There are crystal nuclei hidden in the heads of zombies above the first level, which have a great effect on the cultivation of abilities. Different colors of the crystal nuclei correspond to different abilities]

Hearing the system's words, Chen Shaoze looked at the two zombie corpses on the ground not far away, picked up the sword at hand, and walked towards the zombies.

Chen Shaoze quickly cut open the heads of the two zombies. To his surprise, there were crystal nuclei in the heads of the two zombies. Although the crystal nuclei were not very large, it was still surprising.

Chen Shaoze took one of the green crystal nuclei and handed it to Lin Zichen. Lin Zichen was stunned for a moment, but still took it, "This is it?"

"Crystal nucleus is very helpful for cultivation. What you awakened just now is a wood-type supernatural power. It just so happens that this is also a wood-type crystal nucleus."

"……Thanks."

"We are not in a hurry to leave now, why don't you absorb this crystal nucleus now, and strengthen the ability by the way. If there is danger, I will help you block it."

Lin Zichen nodded, absorbing the crystal nucleus without a teacher. In less than half a minute, Lin Zichen completely absorbed the energy condensed by the crystal nucleus, and the energy on Lin Zichen's body was also much stronger.

Seeing Lin Zichen's cultivation speed, Chen Shaoze couldn't help clicking his tongue. He is indeed the person chosen by this world with such a good cultivation talent.It's really pissing people off.

The three of them had almost rested, so they set off for City X.

Because both of them had to worry about the cowardly and weak Gu Si, the trip of the three of them was a lot slower.

After walking for a day, the three of them reached the outskirts of City Z.

It was already late at night, and the three of them were walking on the national road leading to City X. Usually, at least there were vehicles on the national road. The three of them had to walk in the dark in some sections of the road.

It was another section of the road where the street lights were broken. This section was extremely dark, and the three of them stopped because they could smell the rotten smell of zombies.

The zombies in the dark smelled the smell of people and came out of the darkness one after another.

Chen Shaoze and Lin Zichen frowned slightly, but Gu Si was already too scared to speak.

The zombies in front of the three were all junior zombies. At first, the two of them shouldn't take it to heart, but they couldn't stand the fact that there were so many zombies on the opposite side. Chen Shaoze roughly counted them, and there were fifty or sixty zombies.

"There are few people in the suburbs, so why are there so many zombies?" Chen Shaoze wondered in his heart. There are few people living in the suburbs, and the popularity is low. There would be very few zombies in the first place. Why are there so many zombies here?

"I don't know." Lin Zichen frowned and shook his head, long brown vines appeared in his hands.

Chen Shaoze grasped the sword in his hand tightly. This was a subconscious action he would do when he was nervous. No matter what was in his hand, he would grasp it tightly as long as he was nervous.

"Go back." Chen Shaoze said to Gu Si behind him.

Although Gusi's legs were weak in fear, she still ran back quickly.

Chen Shaoze and Lin Zichen rushed towards the group of zombies, swords raised and swords fell, the vines surged, and the rancid smell became more intense.

The zombies became more excited when they smelled the rotten smell, and their attacks became more violent.

The two cooperated very tacitly, and after more than ten minutes of killing, all the zombies were surrounded and wiped out.

Chen Shaoze consumed too much energy during the daytime killing the first-level zombies, and he has not fully recovered until now. Now that he has killed so many zombies, his physical strength has been completely exhausted, so he must stop and rest.

Lin Zichen helped Chen Shaoze to go to Gu Si's side. Gu Si had been watching from a distance. Seeing that the two had dealt with the zombies, he trotted forward and helped Lin Zichen to support Chen Shaoze.

Lin Zichen chose an open space, lit a fire, and barely counted it as a resting place for the three of them.

The three of them were not sure whether there would be a large area of ​​zombies, so they all focused on their surroundings.

Guth fell asleep first, and neither of them actually expected Guth to help watch the night, so they let him fall asleep.

Both of them were silent, except for the crackling of the fire.

"What did you do before?" Chen Shaoze couldn't stand the silence, so he broke the silence first and asked.

"senior student."

Chen Shaoze was a little surprised, Lin Zichen in front of him looked very mature, he didn't look like a college student at all.

"What about her?" Chen Shaoze pointed to Gu Si who was sleeping on Lin Zichen's shoulder.

"Classmate, when the zombies invaded the school, she ran out with me."

"Oh."

"What about you?"

"An ordinary company employee."

"Why are you helping me today?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Because you are not the first person to come to the supermarket, there were a few people who came before you came, but when they saw the zombies, they ignored us and ran away."

"Well, I don't know, I saved it just because you are pleasing to the eye." Chen Shaoze actually didn't know why he saved Lin Zichen and the others, but he didn't think too much about it at the time, and at the time, he didn't know that Lin Zichen was the one he was looking for. The person who was born, but in the end it proved that he saved the right person.

"Really?" Something flashed in Lin Zichen's lowered black eyes. "Don't talk about this, you should rest for a while, I'll watch the night."

Chen Shaoze was really sleepy too, he didn't make a fuss, nodded, lay down on the ground with his clothes on, and fell asleep.
