Chapter 16

The zombies they had killed before, because they were worried that they would have new changes, they found a room on each floor to store the corpses, and the doors were locked. 

When Ye Xiao opened the room on the second floor, a rancid smell came towards his face.

Without changing his face, he turned on the light, looked at the strangely shaped corpses, pulled out a dagger from his leg, knelt down and struck the nearest corpse.

After a while, he really picked out a thing and rinsed it with water. It was a clear green, like a beautiful gem.

He looked carefully for a while, but didn't see any tricks, put this thing into the bowl next to him, and continued with the next one.

There were footsteps in the corridor, the other members of his team came over and got busy with him.

Black ones, red ones, blue ones, green, purple...

Finally Ye Xiao dug out a cyan one. His heart moved, and he had a faint feeling for this one. At this moment, there was news from the research room below that they'd found something in the head of the zombie, which contained a wonderful energy.

Ye Xiao went down after hearing the news.

The two scientists excitedly told him about their discovery, but after all, they'd only found that the energy was very special and had never been seen before, but they couldn't tell how it worked. After all, this was far from the profession of the two of them, and the equipment is also lacking.

"We have already reported to the higher authorities. It turns out that the Academy of Sciences has already started to study this, but unfortunately we can't help." Professor Zheng said.

Ye Xiao glanced at them after hearing this.

If he had not seen the monitoring, in order to understand the principle of the superpower as soon as possible, he might have told the two people that he had superpowers, and cooperated with them to do some experiments.

But now he didn't plan to do this anymore, he just gathered crystal nuclei of other colours for them, and let them fiddle with it by themselves.

At two o'clock in the morning, Bai Cheng finally found out the best route, and Ye Xiao immediately led people to set off. This time, there were still four people. Except Ye Xiao, there were Mei Bosheng, Xu Li and Zhong Xiong. The four strongest members were dispatched together in order to make the best use of time.

It was necessary to travel 20 kilometres extra. For them, they got there very quickly, but no matter how carefully planned the route was, it was impossible to be unimpeded. When they finally arrived at the destination, it was almost dawn.

At this time, Lin Tantan was worried about how to leave the villa.

The villa was still surrounded by zombies, but this couldn't stop her; just jump to the next villa and then run. The question was whether to jump to the left one or the right one.

"Girl, do you really want to leave?" Mrs. Xu was worried about Lin Tantan.

"I really have to go, Grandma Xu. I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, but when I leave, I will try my best to lure away some zombies outside, didn't you say that the rescue will arrive today? If you persist for another day, you will definitely be saved."

Lin Tantan was actually quite worried about the old and the young, but it was impossible for her to stay and protect them. It was not easy for anyone, so they could just ask for blessings. She didn't dare to guarantee 100% that she could go to North University Town smoothly.

This way, she also had to fight with her life.

The old lady Xu sighed, and put some more food in Lin Tantan's bag, but Lin Tantan noticed that the faces of the others changed a little, especially the middle-aged woman with a little girl, and the other two children's grandparents, their eyes were glued to those few food items.

After all, there wasn't much food in the villa, and what Mrs. Xu packed for her was ready-to-eat.

"Grandma Xu, you don't need to pack so much." Lin Tantan took out some of the food, only keeping enough food for today's three meals.

Looking at them like this, she didn't intend to look for a weapon or anything, so as not to have to look at their faces, anyway, there was no weapon she liked in this villa.

She went upstairs with her bag on her back, and climbed onto the roof. It was still daylight, and the wind was very strong on the roof. She looked around the villa area, and the topographical sketch that Mr. Xu had drawn for her in her hand was rattled by the wind.

Ok, let's leave this place.

Lin Tantan identified a direction, sent out a vine to hook the nearest villa in that direction, added a few steps on the roof, whoosh—bang!

She fell on the roof of the little red house opposite. Although she should have already grown used to falling now, the slope of the roof was a bit steep, so she slid down for a while, using her hands and feet to stabilise her figure.

After standing up, she thought, she had said that she wanted to lure some zombies away, should she yell a few times now, or should she throw something down to attract the attention of the zombies?

Thinking about this, she was almost startled when she turned her head and saw that many zombies surrounding Xu's villa had already turned around to her side, as if she alone was more attractive than the living people in that room.

"Mom!" Did they have to be so enthusiastic? 

Lin Tantan immediately ran on the roof, jumping from one roof to another, and the zombies below continued to chase after her. Finally, when she saw the gate of the villa area, Lin Tantan jumped to the ground and rushed out.

Fortunately, the street outside was very quiet. She rushed all the way, jumped directly into the green belt to take a shortcut when turning, and kicked over a trash can in the process.

Lin Tantan had to slam her brakes when the trash can was pinging and rolling out.

Almost ran into a few people head on.

These were a few men, a few men with guns; she had rushed out too quickly. They raised their guns immediately, and Lin Tantan was pointed at by several black muzzles.

Her heart almost jumped to her throat.

A lethal weapon like a gun would be really dangerous for her.

"Don't shoot, I am a human!" Lin Tantan immediately raised her hand, afraid of the other party accidentally shooting in a hurry.

As long as she was given a buffer time, it was not certain who would hit whom.

So while she was yelling, she also accumulated strength in her hands. Her left hand was brewing Wood-type power, ready to entangle them with vines, while her right hand brewed the Gold-type power, ready to attack.

But fortunately, after she yelled, the other party didn't intend to shoot. Instead, they lowered their guns and the one standing at the front, seeming their leader, asked, 

"Why did you come out? Did something happen in the villa?"

"Huh?" Lin Tantan was at a loss, no, this big brother, did you recognize the wrong person?

Without even thinking about it, she asked, 

"Who are you?"

Only then did she have the time to look at the other person's face. The sky was not bright at the moment, and these people were standing against the light, so she could only roughly see a silhouette and a pair of faintly bright eyes. Lin Tantan's first impression was that this person's facial features looked familiar.

Then the other party said calmly: "My name is Ye Xiao, I'm here to pick up the Xu family. You must have been in the Xu family's villa last night, right?"

Ye Xiao sized her up. Although the monitoring screen was far and blurry, he probably couldn't be wrong about this figure and appearance. He probably hadn't recognized the wrong person.

Lin Tantan: "..." 

Lin Tantan's soul had already ascended to the sky when she first heard the words "Ye Xiao", her head exploding with a buzz.

Who am I? Where am I? What did I hear? 

False, it must be false, yes, I must be dreaming!
