Zombies take me as air

Chapter 381 Run away
Kong Qi showed the villagers the videos she took of the mutated animals in the central area, and they were completely convinced that there were mutated animals.

Moreover, these animals are on the continent where they live. Previously, shelters were built just in case, but now it is imperative to build shelters.

Their enthusiasm for work is at an all-time high. Those who can carry a hoe and shovel will come out to dig shelters, and those who can move will also help. If they can't make a lot of effort, it is still possible to help with tools, water, and meals. .

When they mobilized the whole village, Lu Xiangbei stopped participating, and planned to go to the central area with Kong Qi again to study the strange fruit trees and black-bottomed purple-patterned stones.

The village chief wanted to send someone to protect them, but Lu Xiangbei refused, and sent someone to protect them. The village will inevitably reduce a few strong laborers. Lu Xiangbei suggested that they start work as soon as possible, and the two of them can protect themselves.

With the precedent of Kong Qi going out alone and returning safely, the villagers did not doubt Lu Xiangbei's words.

The village chief and his daughter sent the two of them out of the village, and other villagers went to the edge of the hinterland to dig shelters early in the morning.

The women and children stayed in the village to prepare lunch for the workers, and when the meal was ready, it was sent to their construction site.

Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei waved goodbye to the village head and his daughter, and walked towards the central area of ​​the Southern Continent.

The peripheral area does not need to be checked again, the animals and plants here are all normal.

Kong Qi recruited the earth bird, and the two flew on the earth bird to the place where mutated animals began to appear.

Here they landed and moved on foot to the location of the strange fruit tree.

According to Lu Xiangbei's analysis, if the black-bottomed purple-patterned stones have a heating effect on the ground, then only the ice layer melts, and the area where animals and plants do not mutate is likely to be in the shell area of ​​the black-bottomed purple-patterned stones.

The area where animals and plants mutate is in the center of the black-bottomed purple-patterned stone.

Inside this central area is the space that Kong Qi saw, containing certain things.

The shell covering the space in the central area is as thick as a mountain, and even Kong Qi can't penetrate through the space.

According to Kong Qi's understanding, the black-bottomed purple-patterned stone is like a wine candy, wrapped in a chocolate shell and filled with wine.

Lu Xiangbei said: "You can understand it this way." It's just that the shell of the black stone is very thick.

It only has the outermost layer, the color is as black as ink, and the inside is translucent, so Kong Qi can vaguely see something deep in the stone.

In areas where mutated animals appeared, Lu Xiangbei deliberately appeared in front of them. They didn't ignore him like they ignored Kong Qi.

As long as it is an aggressive animal, it will assume an attacking posture when it sees him. If he moves slightly, the mutated animal will rush up to fight him.

Kong Qi wondered, she and Lu Xiangbei were also capable of absorbing meteorites, so they should have similar physiques. Why did the previous zombies ignore her instead of Lu Xiangbei?
Now the mutated animals in the Southern Continent are also like this, they only ignore her and will attack Lu Xiangbei.

After Lu Xiangbei finished the experiment, he stopped trying again. They avoided the mutated animals and used the space to walk to the strange fruit trees.

Before Kong Qi left, he took a photo of the strange fruit tree, and Lu Xiangbei took out the photos for comparison, to see if there was any change in the tree after Kong Qi left.

The fact is that nothing has changed. There were 13 fruits on the tree when Kong Qi left, and there are still those 13 fruits now, with the same position and the same size, exactly.

Lu Xiangbei wanted to see the fruit glow, so he took Kong Qi's hand, Kong Qi was still in the space, and stretched out her hand to hold Lu Xiangbei's hand, ready to pull him into the space at any time.

Lu Xiangbei stretched out his other hand towards a fruit, until his hand touched the fruit, the fruit shook, but did not emit light.

Lu Xiangbei's fingertips rubbed the shell of the fruit twice, and the fruit dangled, obviously not afraid.

The rhythm of its swaying this time has a hint of joy, which is completely different from the sense of alertness given to Kong Qi last time.

Until Lu Xiangbei withdrew his hand, the fruit did not glow.

In one go, he touched all 13 fruits, and the result was the same. The fruit was very happy with his touch, and did not show vigilance and wanted to protect himself.

Kong Qi sent Lu Xiangbei into the space, she kept one hand outside, and raised her hand to touch the fruit closest to her.

Before his fingers touched the fruit, the fruit shook in a panic, and then purple light suddenly appeared, lighting up the sky like lightning.

Fortunately, Kong Qi had already retracted her hand into the space when it was shaking, and when the purple light came on, she and Lu Xiangbei were both in the space, and the space was well sealed.

Kong Qi said to Lu Xiangbei: "Look, it's like this, it's really strange...you can touch it, but I can't!"

Lu Xiangbei said: "The mutated animals don't attack you, they only attack me."

Obviously, Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei have both similarities and differences. The same thing is that they can absorb meteorites with bare hands. The difference is that zombies and mutants have different attitudes towards them.

Just gaining Guoguo's trust, Lu Xiangbei couldn't get into the black stone. Lu Xiangbei took out a shovel, dug from the root of the tree, and dug down along the roots.

The roots of the fruit tree were extremely luxuriant. Lu Xiangbei carved out an entrance from the messy roots, and the roots of the fruit tree grew on this entrance.

The entrance looked like a manhole cover, but there was no hole in it. Lu Xiangbei tried to pry it open with a shovel but couldn't.

Kong Qi also jumped into the pit, and the two reached out to pick it together, but the lid was not opened, and the two of them fell down.

To be more precise, they were sucked in, and there was a powerful and strange force that pulled the two of them in from the entrance with a diameter of less than one meter in an instant, and the two of them did not hit each other, nor did they Crowding happens.

The most miraculous thing is that the cover didn't open at all, and they passed through it, and they fell down for a long time without encountering any obstacles, and fell to the ground smoothly, without breaking their brains.

In this way, they entered the black stone inexplicably, and entered the central space where Kong Qi wanted to come in and have a look.

However, there is only one circle of seats here, and each chair has a different shape, ranging from luxurious to simple.

Some chairs had very low backs, and some had very high backs, which were even higher than a person standing up. Lu Xiangbei stood in front of that chair, and the back of the chair was a head higher than him.

These chairs with different shapes and materials are also different. They are what Kong Qi saw and placed in the central space.

"It's just some chairs." Kong Qi couldn't hide her disappointment.

"Where there are chairs, there are people who sit on chairs." Lu Xiangbei said.

"But there is no one in this space, and there are no corpses. The people here may have gone out."

It's just that it's been a long time since I went out, so long that Kong Qi doesn't think there is a creature that can have such a long lifespan.

The people who made these seats should have died long ago in this day and age.

But why do strange fruit trees grow on the cover of the Blackstone entrance?
Is this just a coincidence?
"There are 13 seats here." Lu Xiangbei said.

Kong Qi just paid attention to the style and material of the chairs, and when she heard Lu Xiangbei's words, she also counted them, and there were indeed 13 chairs.

"13..."

If she hadn't counted the fruits on the tree just outside, she wouldn't have any associations at the moment, but she just counted the number of fruits on the ground, and now counting the number of chairs just happened to match, is this also a coincidence?
There are only these thirteen chairs in the central space of the entire black stone. Apart from the different shapes and materials of the chairs, Kong Qi didn't find anything special about them.

The two stayed inside for a while and then wanted to go out, but the upward passage was several meters above the ground.

Kong Qi took out the elevator from the New World and took the elevator to the height of the entrance of the passage. The two of them stood under the entrance of the passage for a while, showing no sign of going out.

Kong Qi took out another ladder, and Lu Xiangbei supported her below. She climbed up the ladder and into the passage, but nothing changed.

The ladder can be climbed on both sides, so she asked Lu Xiangbei to go up too, and the two of them squeezed into the passage at the same time, and their bodies would inevitably touch the passage wall.

The moment the body touched the passage, a magical power appeared, and the two were ejected from the passage and bounced back into the pit dug by Lu Xiangbei.

The feeling this time was just the opposite of the feeling when they entered the entrance. When they entered, they were sucked in by a magical force, and when they came out, another force pushed them out.

Kong Qi guessed: "It seems that the door will only open if the two of us touch the entrance or passage at the same time."

Lu Xiangbei nodded, feeling that what Kong Qi said made sense, but then a new problem arose...

Why did the two of them touch the 'door' at the same time, and the entrance would open. Could it be that the two of them are related to this black stone?
In order to prove this idea, Kong Qi asked Tian Niu to come out to do a test. Tian Niu cooperated with Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei respectively to touch the entrance of the stone space, but nothing happened.

Kong Qi asked Professor Zhang to come out and form a team with Tian Niu, but nothing happened.

So this is not a task that can be achieved by the cooperation of just two people. Only the cooperation between Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei will take effect and the door will be opened.

They can't explain why, they just know that's how it works.

However, there was nothing worth studying in the space, so Lu Xiangbei backfilled the pit.Tian Niu and Professor Zhang went back to the New World to do their work. Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei were going to rest here for a night before going back to the village.

The next morning, when the two woke up, they were surprised to find that the fruit on the strange tree had disappeared!
Not a single one left, not on the tree, not on the ground, not even within a hundred miles around.

Kong Qi couldn't help exclaiming: "Is this ginseng fruit? It will disappear as soon as it hits the ground."

Lu Xiangbei said, "It would be a good thing if it disappeared."

Kong Qi heard what he meant and asked, "You don't think they have escaped, do you?"

Lu Xiangbei said: "That's right, I suspect they have escaped."

Their conversation sounded like a joke, but neither of them could laugh.

Kong Qi recruited the second donkey, let it smell the smell of the fruit trees, and let it follow the smell to find the lost fruits.

The second donkey did notice it. It sniffed the ground, but it was limited to wandering around the trees.

It shows that the fruit has moved in a small range under the tree, but has not moved outward. Where can they go?
Lu Xiangbei stared at the hole he had backfilled under the tree, and said, "Could it have run into the rock?"

"Don't they need to dig a pit to go in? If they have some relationship with the black stone, maybe they really don't need to dig a pit."

Just as Lu Xiangbei was about to dig the backfilled hole again, the second donkey barked suddenly, and it turned towards the outside of the woods, as if something was moving in the woods.

Lu Xiangbei put away the shovel, and Kong Qi pulled him back to the space with the second donkey.

Ten minutes later, a rotten-faced zombie appeared among the dense green leaves. It pushed aside the dense vegetation and walked towards a strange fruit tree.

There were more than a dozen zombies behind it. Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei didn't expect the zombies to appear here, and they ran towards the fruit trees as soon as they came.

The corpses first checked in front of the fruit tree, looking for something among the branches and leaves, maybe they were looking for fruit, Kong Qi guessed.

Of course they found nothing, so they pushed the trees with bare hands, knocked down the fruit trees, and uprooted them.

The fruit tree was not very tall, and the trunk was not very thick. Nearly 20 zombies worked together to push it down without much effort.Before the knockdown was over, they began to dismember the fruit tree again, peeling off its bark, and scratching the trunk with the zombie's sharp nails.

The wood was scratched a little bit, and the zombie dug out a stone from the trunk.

Although it looks like a stone, Kong Qi has seen similar things elsewhere, that is, the seed of the metal tree, which also looks like a stone, but in fact it can grow in the soil and grow strange plants.

The zombies put the stone-like seeds into their bosoms. It turned out that their purpose was this!

When Kong Qi thought so, they began to dig the ground again, starting to dig in the pit where the tree roots were pulled out. Below was the entrance cover of the black boulder.

The zombies dug down together, and they also dug to the entrance like a manhole cover, but no matter how hard they scratched, they couldn't open the cover.

They took turns scratching, and after two hours, there was still no progress.

They will go down two zombies at a time, but unfortunately no two zombies can open the lid of the entrance.

Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei looked at each other in space, the tacit understanding between them no longer needed words.

Lu Xiangbei instantly dropped the metal cage at the place where the zombies gathered, covering the zombies.

Kong Qi took out a high-pressure water gun, which was full of gold oil, and sprayed the water gun on the metal cage.

Lu Xiangbei immediately shot a rocket, spraying golden oil on the cage and the zombies, and the rocket instantly ignited the cage and the zombies.Kong Qi then sealed off the space, she knew that some zombies had supernatural powers.

The zombies outside do have abilities, but none of them have water abilities.

When the fire consumes them, no zombie can save itself.

As long as it was something the zombies wanted, Kong Qi couldn't let them get it, even though he didn't know what the stone seed would do to them, in short, it was right to prevent them from getting it.

At the same time, Lu Xiangbei also thought that since there were zombies here, the village might not be safe either.

The two of them waited until the zombies were reduced to ashes, then quickly left and returned to the village. The strange fruit tree was also reduced to ashes in the fire.

Lu Xiangbei backfilled the hole left by the tree roots again. They were worried about the safety of the villagers, so they had to temporarily give up searching for the 13 missing fruits.
