Zombies take me as air

Chapter 358 Metal Particles
"Did it escape through the cracks in the ground?"

The underground space is full of rubble, except for the road built by Meng Boyi, other areas are piled with rubble.

Ground fissures are everywhere, and they are particulate matter, which can get in if there is a seam.

It's no wonder that the supernatural beings made the warehouse door airtight, and opened another vent in the warehouse.

Meng Boyi fell asleep, and her men dared not go out, but the survivors needed to eat and drink.

All of Meng Boyi's cronies came over, they were discussing to send people out to get food, and they just organized a death squad today.

Kong Qi waved at them: "Don't dare to die, I'll get it, no, I'll take you out, the army of zombies has gone to the North Pole, you'd better camp in another place."

Lu Xiangbei then talked about the situation outside. If the army of zombies settles in the Arctic Circle and develops in the future, they will be the most dangerous.

Moreover, the underground tomb is no longer safe, and they cannot live here.

They discussed with the manager to see where to evacuate. The manager has no idea now, and everyone's life is involved. A wrong decision may kill everyone.

The temperature in the north is getting lower and lower, and it is not suitable for human survival. Since the zombies have gone to the North Pole, they can consider going to the south.

There are not many resources in the west, Kong Qi did not suggest that they go to the west, but the south of Caiyun can be considered.

While they were discussing, Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei went out to get food for them, but the vegetable shed had not been taken care of for a few days, she thought she would not be able to receive the vegetables, but she did not expect that there was an automatic irrigation system in the shed, and the vegetables were still 'surviving' .

After collecting the vegetables and medicine, they went to the grain depot to fetch food, and it took them many trips to complete the move.

But you can't come out to farm. Hiding in the material cave is not an option. In order to survive for a long time, the survivors still need to find a place to move.

Seeing the two of them carrying food back and forth, there was no danger at all, and the survivors hiding in the cave also moved their minds to get out.

The doctor advised them to calm down. Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei are fine if they are exposed to the statue, but the others are not. The doctor thinks that the statue has not changed, so it must be that they are different, so it is better for others not to take risks.

Kong Qi thought that since they were afraid of the glowing stone, she would help them throw it out, so she went back to the tomb, picked up the stone with a dragonfly net, and prepared to throw it on the ground.

But as soon as she picked up the stone, she felt as if the hand holding the bamboo pole had been electrocuted.

Does bamboo conduct electricity?
She was puzzled, but she didn't let go, because the 'current' was not strong, and it felt crisp/crispy, as if holding a mobile phone in vibration mode.

She thought it would be good to just bear it for a while and throw it out, but before she could get out of the ancient tomb, the stone 'dead'.

Lu Xiangbei followed her all the time, and they saw the light of the stone go out at the same time.

Moreover, the bamboo pole was no longer 'powered', and the stone became unremarkable. Kong Qi put away the pole, and directly reached out to take it out of the net.

Lu Xiangbei wanted to stop it, but Kong Qi was quick. When he yelled, her hand had already touched the stone.

"It's okay, it shines when something happens, now...it shouldn't be a threat." Kong Qi grabbed the stone and touched its texture, only to find that it didn't look like a stone, it seemed to be wood.

She murmured to herself: "It can't really be a fruit stone, can it?"

Because its surface is not smooth, much like a peach pit, this thing does not emit light, nor is it 'electric'.

"Safety comes first, I'd better take it out and throw it away." Lu Xiangbei watched as she touched the thing several times, fearing that she might be infected with an unknown substance. This thing could kill hundreds of people, and it would be dangerous even if it didn't emit light.

"Okay." Kong Qi put the dragonfly net back into the space, and returned to the ground with the 'core' in her hands.

Throwing it near the camp would not work. She looked around and saw that there was a rocky mountain to the east of the entrance of the ancient tomb. She beckoned the unearthed baby bird to carry her to that rocky mountain.

The baby earth bird is already very strong, and its flying speed is faster than that of the earth bird, but its stability is poor.

Kong Qi picked a place under the mountain, dug a hole one meter deep, threw stones into the bottom of the hole, and buried it firmly.

The ground was covered with marble slabs, but one layer was not enough, so she pressed three layers of stone slabs, which were left over from the renovation of their home.

She felt that this would prevent the 'pit' from escaping again.

Lu Xiangbei used his metal ability to carve the words 'dangerous, polluted' on the stone slab.

He asked Kong Qi to wash his hands with alcohol outside, and then rinse it with warm water several times.

When they were done, they returned to the catacombs, during which the metal particles that the survivors of the camp said never appeared.

Kong Qi brought a member of the 'Death Squad' out of the warehouse and took him to the tomb on purpose. He walked in and walked from the first floor to the top floor, nothing happened.

Only then did they confirm that the influence of the 'fruit core' had disappeared.

But the threat of metal particles is still there, and Kong Qi can only help. Taking the family as a unit, each family will take them out to pack their luggage, and then send them out of the ground and onto the surface.

The ground cannot be protected by supernatural powers, so she first sent a few supernatural beings and their families up there.

Someone on the ground responded, and she began to send ordinary people up.

This is not a job that can be completed in a short period of time, and all supernatural beings know that the energy in the human body is limited, and it is impossible for a supernatural power to be used indefinitely.

Just like a battery, it needs to be recharged when it runs out of electricity.

There are so many people in their camp, and Kong Qi’s space has to be filled with people and luggage, and it takes a month to transport it.

But there is one thing she didn't say. In fact, she didn't feel that she didn't have enough energy after moving for a day.

But be a low-key person, since she can move slowly, she doesn't have to test her limits.

After moving all the survivors and supplies to the ground, they encountered a violent attack from strange birds.

Survivors who had combat experience with the strange birds immediately took out their flamethrowers. Thousands of strange birds hovered over the temporary camp like black clouds.

When they acted in unison and began to dive downward, the supernatural beings and ordinary people also took out their weapons to fight at the same time.

The flames were like hundreds of fiery snakes, raising their heads to meet the rushing strange bird.

The strange bird that was bitten by the 'Fire Snake' made a strange sound, and the bird's blood spilled on the ground, so those who fought with weapons wore motorcycle helmets to protect their heads and ensure that the bird's blood would not splash on them in the eyes.

And the fire-type supernatural powers are protected in the safest place to cast their supernatural powers. As long as they are not caught by the strange bird, they are the most powerful 'weapon' against the strange bird.

Lu Xiangbei organized metal supernatural beings to deal with the weapons on the strange bird's belly.

Since they can pierce through metal plates, wrap it in a heavy metal casing, wrapping the cone into a ball.

Being hit by it like this is like being hit by a round hammer. Although the destructive power is still great, the shield made by the earth and rock supernatural beings can finally block their attacks.

The big deal is that if the shield is smashed, it will no longer be pierced by it and hurt the people behind the shield.

Kong Qi protected the old and the weak, women and children and hid aside, ready to take them into the space at any time.

Each held a string by the hand, and at the end she held the end of the string in her hand.

Girls over the age of 16 in the camp also went to the battlefield, and the remaining ones who were really incapable of fighting could be squeezed into the space.

Of course, the female warriors were not used in this battle, and the survivors won the final victory.

Ordinary people got involved and protected the supernatural beings in their camp.

While they were cheering and celebrating, Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei smiled at each other across the crowd.

However, this is only a temporary victory. They have already decided to move to the south of Caiyun. The journey is far away, and they will experience several strange bird attacks.

Vigilance can never be relaxed, and there are threats of wild animals along the way.

Kong Qi told them that Ma Jun's camp was attacked by wild beasts, and those wild beasts could scratch deep scratches even on the metal shield.

Therefore, the survivors of the grassland camp did not dare to take this migration lightly.

They arranged the metal-type and earth-rock-type abilities on both sides of the team, so that when the team was flanked by wild beasts, they could erect high walls to block them.

Transportation must not be lost. It is the middle of winter, and the current winter is long and cold. It is difficult for survivors to walk thousands of kilometers to their destination.

What's more, there are old people and babies in the team, as well as a lot of supplies, especially the vegetable fields in the greenhouse, they all took them on the road.

If these things are lost, they will probably lose many companions.

When encountering such a situation in the grassland camp, Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei would definitely help, and they decided to escort them to their destination.

But on the day the team started, Kong Qi discovered a strange thing.

She saw a big tree at the foot of the mountain in the distance. There was no tree in that place before.

She said nothing, and no one else in the camp paid attention.

She asked Shang Lu Xiangbei to go over to check alone, only to find that the stone slab on which she pressed the fruit core was lifted aside, and the big tree grew out of the stone slab.

This tree is bare and has no leaves. It is normal for trees to have no leaves in winter, but how can any tree sprout and grow in winter?
It took less than a month from when she buried the fruit core to when the big tree grew out!
This tree is more than ten meters high, and there are some shiny things growing on the bark, but it is not as bright as diamonds or glass.

"It's metal." Lu Xiangbei's perception of metal was beyond ordinary people, and Kong Qi believed in his judgment.

"Metal particles?!" Kong Qi was startled.

"Well, it should be." Lu Xiangbei looked up at the crown of the tree.

There are such metal particles on the surface of the whole tree, unlike the ones that fall on it, they grow together with the tree and are mixed in the tree's 'body'.

He dug up a small piece of bark with a dagger, and there were indeed metal particles on the trunk.

"This thing is so weird, do you want to burn it?" She was asking Lu Xiangbei what to do with the tree when a girl's voice suddenly sounded behind her.

"What are you looking at?" The girl is a supernatural being in the camp and one of Meng Boyi's god-sisters.

Meng Boyi took several orphans as god sisters in the camp.

This girl is one of them. She is petite and weak, and her voice is also a baby voice, but she is a real 'output', a lightning-type superpower, who can kill a large number of zombies with a wave of her hand.

"Don't come here, we found the missing metal particles." Kong Qi warned.

"Wow~" The thunder girl turned around and ran away, looking back at them ten meters away.

"Don't look, keep running, go back and stay with the others." Kong Qi waved at her.

"Then be careful." The girl ran away this time without looking back.

Lu Xiangbei raised his hand, trying to control these metal particles.

"It's strange." He said something while using the ability.

"what happened?"

"These particles...have life." Lu Xiangbei frowned, showing confusion.

Metals and stones are dead objects. It is not strange to say that they have energy, but it is said that they have life?

"Can you communicate with them?" Kong Qi asked.

"No, but I can feel it." Lu Xiangbei withdrew his hand: "I can't control them, but I can absorb their energy."

"They are eating people, absorb their energy so that they can't eat people in the future." Kong Qi stood behind Lu Xiangbei and patted him on the back.

Lu Xiangbei shook his head: "The energy contained in them gives me a very cold feeling, I think it's better not to absorb it, burn it."

Lu Xiangbei was talking about burning the tree, Kong Qi took out the golden oil in the space and poured it on the tree, then set the tree on fire.

She pulled Lu to the north to hide in the space, lest the metal particles be burned and come out to fight back.

Since they are alive, they may also have 'thoughts' when they attacked living people.

The big tree burst into flames, and the metal particles did not leave it, and melted when they met the fire, turning into liquid and seeping into the tree.

What's going on in the process Kong Qi couldn't understand, she only saw the result, a wooden tree, after the fire, turned into a metal tree.

Moreover, this metal tree also grew rapidly, growing taller than before, and even grew metal leaves and bloomed metal flowers.

"What kind of strange thing is this? It must not be a creature of this world!" Kong Qi exclaimed in the space.

Lu Xiangbei had never seen such a strange thing before. The big wooden tree was burned, and metal particles replaced it to become a 'tree'.

And the more the fire burns, the faster it grows, as if it can absorb the energy of life growth from the fire.

After turning into a big metal tree, it will definitely not work if it is burned with fire.

Lu Xiangbei put a metal cover on the big tree to prevent people or animals from approaching. At present, they don't know whether the metal particles can eat people after they become like this.

They can't experiment with living people, so they have to cover it first to isolate it from contact with living things.

The team is about to leave, and the matter of Dashu needs to be put aside first. Taking the survivors to a safe place to settle down is their top priority.

Anyway, there was no one here, Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei returned to the team, the girl from the Lei family immediately came up and asked how the tree was doing?

When she came back, she told them about the discovery of the metal particles. The survivors were very nervous, and saw a big fire over there, but after the fire was extinguished, the tree didn't seem to change.

"The metal particles turned into trees, and the drowsy stones were burned away. Now the situation is unknown. It is important to move first. We will talk about the metal tree later." Kong Qi explained simply.

The migration of so many people is a big deal, and no one wants to waste time on the big tree, and no one wants to get close to that tree. They still remember the appearance of metal particles eating people, and they all have lingering fears.

The team set off in the morning, and set off after breakfast.
