Chapter 90 Meeting Gao Rui for the first time
No matter how good Qi Wenqing is in facing the ever-high number of zombies, there are times when he loses his strength. It has been a long time since he encountered a situation where his superpowers were not enough.
Seeing that Qi Wenqing's face was a little pale, Ruan Sangning immediately pulled him up the tree on the wind blade and sat on a high tree trunk. Ruan Sangning handed Qi Wenqing a bottle of spiritual spring water, and took out a few more pills from his bag before setting off. A high-end crystal core stuffed into a backpack.
Qi Wenqing took the water and drank it in a few sips. This time, he accepted the crystal core that Ruan Sangning gave him without any hesitation and began to absorb it.
Ruan Sangning gathered poisonous mist and storm in the palm of his hand and rushed into the zombie group. Because the storm was well controlled, nothing except the zombies was damaged. Soon there were many high-level crystal nuclei on the ground.
After several repetitions, Ruan Sangning saw that the number of crystal nuclei was considerable, and then he used a storm to sweep up the crystal nuclei on the ground and brought them up.
Still handing it to Qi Wenqing, Qi Wenqing hesitated for a moment and took a few more pills to absorb.
After throwing a few more waves of poisonous mist, Ruan Sangning has now collected almost a sack of crystal nuclei, all of which are high-level.
The accident happened when she was trying to use the poisonous mist to get the crystal core again. The zombies who were grinning and eager to climb the tree to kill the two people suddenly retreated, screamed and ran back. That's right, they ran away.
He screamed while running, as if there was some fierce beast behind him.
Ruan Sangning looked under the tree, and a man with fair skin and a strong build slowly passed under the tree.
He wore a white tight T-shirt on his upper body, a pair of black overalls on his lower body, and black boots.
He seemed to feel something and raised his head to meet Ruan Sangning's searching eyes. There was no emotion in his amber eyes, and he just looked at Ruan Sangning silently.
Ruan Sangning didn't know why she felt an indescribable strange feeling in her heart when she saw this man. She called Gu Shu several times in her mind but got no response.
When she asked about the ancient tree, Qi Wenqing's tears fell beside him and he stared straight at him.
"stop looking."
Qi Wenqing carefully hooked Ruan Sangning's fingers on the tree trunk, his tone full of grievance.
Ruan Sangning then turned around and patted Qi Wenqing's hand gently to express comfort.
"The zombies all ran away when they saw him. I think this guy is a bit weird."
Ruan Sangning lowered his voice and spoke into Qi Wenqing's ear.
After hearing what Ruan Sangning said, Qi Wenqing lowered his head and looked at the man standing under the tree who was still looking at Ruan Sangning. He subconsciously wanted to pull Ruan Sangning behind him to protect him, but he was on the tree.
Ruan Sangning and Qi Wenqing stepped on the wind blade to pick up the little brown bear from another tree. The two of them and the bear stood opposite Gao Rui.
The little brown bear saw that Gao Rui was not as scared as if he had encountered a zombie. He was even a little happy and wanted to run towards Gao Rui.
It stood in the middle and looked at Gao Rui, then turned to look at Ruan Sangning and Qi Wenqing, and finally chose the two people it wanted to feast on.
"Gao Rui, have you found that woman?"
A female voice sounded in Gao Rui's mind. It was a high-level zombie with extremely powerful spiritual powers that Lin Luo had found. This mission was to rely on her to contact Gao Rui and Lin Luo.
"I found it. This woman does have something. She and her partner got rid of some of the remaining zombies on Lushan Mountain and got a lot of crystal nuclei."
There was silence on the other end. It should be He Luoxue reporting his reply to Lin Luo.
"Be careful in everything you do, and contact me in time if anything happens. I'll plant a spiritual thread in your brain."
"Row."
To be honest, Gao Rui was a little unhappy. After all, no one wanted to have their mind monitored by others, right? But there was no other way. Only in this way could he get in touch with Lin Luo as soon as possible.
"Hello, my name is Gao Rui. Are you coming out of the base? Can you take me back to the base?"
Gao Rui took a few steps forward and tried his best to show a warm smile. The muscles on his face had already stiffened, and he only showed a weird fake smile for a long time.
Ruan Sangning stared at the man warily.
"Where did you come from? Why did you appear in Lushan?"
Gao Rui paused before speaking out the words he had prepared before.
"I used to work in a small base set up by a few superpowers in the city. Because of some conflicts, I left their base and came out on my own."
"I'm in Lushan because there are a lot of zombies here and I need crystal cores."
Ruan Sangning did not relax his vigilance because of his words.
"Why are those zombies so afraid of you?"
Gao Rui was stunned for a moment, his eyes a little confused.
"Afraid of me? I don't know. Maybe it's because I've been chasing them lately."
Ruan Sangning and Qi Wenqing: Speechless...
"We're lost. We don't know how to get to the base from here. Besides, you have to go through an inspection before entering the base. There shouldn't be anything unusual about you, right?"
Qi Wenqing looked Gao Rui up and down with a scrutinizing gaze, and the corners of Gao Rui's mouth raised slightly.
"Of course, I wasn't bitten or scratched by a zombie."
In this way, Gao Rui followed Qi Wenqing and Ruan Sangning at a short distance. The three of them followed the little bear all the way back to the front mountain. When passing by a bush, the little bear was grabbed back by a generous bear paw.
The little brown bear kept wailing when it was taken back, but after two roars it completely stopped.
Two huge brown bears emerged from the bushes, one was slightly smaller. They stood there and looked at the three in front of them... two humans and one who-knows-what, and they smelled terrible.
"Roar"
Father Bear roared at Gao Rui, who was standing at the end, while Mother Bear threw five or six dead rabbits on the path as a thank you gift from the two of them for taking care of her cub.
The family of three then got into the bushes and left. The little brown bear turned back three times, grunting and reluctantly left.
"Don't give it up, just pick it up."
Ruan Sangning took a few steps forward to pick up the dead rabbits on the ground and stuffed them into the bag he took out of his bag. These rabbits were treated as supplies handed over to the base when they were returned.
The three of them walked forward again and finally arrived at the back entrance of the base before dark.
The closer he got to the base, the more human the smell became. Gao Rui gritted his teeth to suppress the roar that was about to come out of his throat.
At the back door of the base, Ruan Sangning and Qi Wenqing took out their base cards and entered directly. Gao Rui stood at the door stupidly at a loss.
"I met you on the way. He also wants to enter the base. You should ask yourself clearly and check him out by the way."
Ruan Sangning said this to Xue Han. Zhu Yuansheng on the side was so angry that she looked Gao Rui up and down.
"There's no problem with him. Just put him in and get a base card."
Xue Han frowned angrily: "You didn't even check..."
"I've seen it, no problem! I'll be responsible for any problems, okay?"
Zhu Wansheng interrupted Xue Han impatiently and turned around to leave.
"I waited for them all afternoon, and when everyone else came back, they were just chirping outside, wasting up my whole day."
