"But there's no harm in making those two guys anxious. To be honest, I really want to make those two annoying guys anxious."

Hearing this, Tongtong suddenly turned around, smiled, and threw herself into my arms like the bright sunshine.

I subconsciously hugged Tongtong's body tightly, but my eyes fell on the city outline in the distance that had completely disappeared.

In a trance, I can no longer remember those ordinary and happy days before the end of the world. Not even a fragment of those memories are left. In those gray memories, the only happy fragments are the days I spent with Tongtong in that city.

"I'll drive."

Tongtong was very proactive and took on the responsibility of driving. The car was already in tatters after the previous rough driving, but it should still be able to be driven into the city.

I picked up the broken black bones on the ground, looked at the mutant zombies standing still, picked up the gun, blasted a big hole in the heads of the mutant zombies here, and shattered the black bones in their bodies.

The sun seems to be the source of power for these mutated zombies. Without the sun, their physical strength has weakened a lot.

There were actually not many mutated zombies that chased here from the ancient city, only about thirty or forty of them, and the other zombies could not catch up with the speed of the car.

After dealing with all the mutated zombies, I threw down the rifle with an empty magazine and turned to walk into the car.

When I sat in the passenger seat, Tongtong couldn't wait to start the car and drove towards the city.

The road leading to the city was well preserved, except for a few large potholes occasionally. When the roar of cars sounded in the night, the ordinary zombies also became excited.

Soon, the shadow of the city in the moonlight was like a tall beast squatting, revealing its fangs.

When the car drove into the city, the noisy zombies suddenly became scarce. When I looked carefully at the zombies on the roadside, I found that there was a small white flower blooming in their eye sockets, occupying their entire eye sockets.

“Epiphyllum…”

I couldn't help but scream out loud, and then I burst into laughter. The appearance of these Epiphyllums used to be like the most terrifying nightmare to me, but now when I see these Epiphyllums, I feel at ease.

As soon as I thought of this, I turned my head and looked at Tongtong beside me. As the real main body of the Epiphyllum, the faster the Epiphyllum spreads, the stronger Tongtong's power will be.

Can she now fight against the nebula body that has lost its source of power?

This dangerous thought only flashed through my mind. I rubbed my brows and stopped thinking about it, because it sounded like forcing Tongtong to die together with the Nebula Body.

While I was in a daze, Tongtong skillfully steered the car, driving through the streets and alleys of the city. The dilapidated ruins were full of dust, and the whole city seemed to be fading.

About half an hour later, Tongtong finally parked the car next to the community that looked extremely nostalgic.

Under the cold moonlight, the ground of the community looked like it had been turned over, with broken bricks and stones scattered everywhere, and it was no longer the same as I remembered.

I can't remember what happened here to make it look like this, but as long as I'm the only troublemaker, it's hard for any place to remain intact.

Tongtong skipped along the road, and then found a bench for rest in one of the few areas that was not destroyed. She rolled her eyes, lifted her skirt, and sat on the dusty bench.

Seeing this, I was slightly distracted, looking at Tongtong who was sitting on the bench and smiling at me, and for a moment I felt as if I were in another world.

I don’t know how many years have passed, I don’t know how many reincarnations have gone through, but the first time I met Tongtong seemed to be on this bench.

I felt mixed emotions as I stepped forward to greet her. I sat down beside Tongtong as she smiled. Tongtong naturally leaned her head over and placed it on my shoulder.

"I remember that day you were wearing a red skirt and your face was dirty."

Tongtong quietly reached out her hand, put her arms around my palm, and spoke softly.

"Then... do you remember the first words you said to me?"

Hearing this, I took a deep breath and looked up at the night sky. I vaguely remember that day, the sky was full of red clouds, connecting the sea of ​​clouds, which was a rare fire cloud.

And it was also on that day that I was bored to death and asked Tongtong, who I thought was a zombie.

"I say, is the life of a zombie interesting?"

I squeezed Tongtong's palms, looked up at the dim tall building, smiled slightly, and said slowly.

"Speaking of which, until now I still don't know whether the life of a zombie is interesting or not, but I still feel emotional sometimes."

"As long as you are alive, interesting things will happen eventually."

Hearing this, Tongtong and I looked at each other and smiled. Everything was said without words.

That night, Tongtong and I returned to the room we used to live in. We carefully cleaned the room, which we would probably only stay in for one night. After cleaning, Tongtong and I snuggled on the sofa and watched those old movie and TV discs.

We both seemed reluctant to go to sleep, until we both curled up on the sofa and fell asleep unknowingly, spilling the Coke in our hands all over the floor.

I don’t know when there will be an end, but at least for this night, I feel that being alive is something worth looking forward to.

Chapter 212 Epiphyllum

The next day, early morning.

When the slowly rising sun cast its light over the entire city, I remembered that I had been neglecting something important.

I stood in the ruins of the community, stepping on the turned over soil. All the weeds disappeared without a trace after the soil was turned over.

But in those tiny cracks, a little white could be vaguely seen. I squatted down, stretched out my fingers, and dug up the moist soil. When the soil peeled off, white Epiphyllum branches emerged and came into my sight.

That’s right, the soil of this entire community is covered with white Epiphyllums. The dense number of them made me shiver involuntarily.

"Surprised?"

At this time, Tongtong's voice came from behind me. I pinched the soil in my hands, without looking back, and said helplessly.

"Although I had expected this, I didn't expect the reproduction speed of this night-blooming cereus to be so terrifying."

At this time, Tongtong, who had already walked to my side, gently raised her head and looked upwards. The next moment, the whole ground shook, the soil surged, and the white Epiphyllum hidden underground drilled through the soil and bloomed to its fullest.

The next moment, the wasteland that was originally just mud turned into a white flower field in an instant, with petals swaying. If you ignore the corpses at the roots of the flowers, it can be considered a beautiful scene.

"Why didn't you ever tell me about this?"

I stood up with a smile and asked Tongtong softly, but Tongtong gave me a cute look and said angrily.

"I don't want to tell you. You're sensitive and suspicious. If I tell you, you might become worried again."

Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but cover my mouth and laugh. Tongtong's description sounds like me, but not like me. It is a trait that most people have.

We are always self-conscious and sensitive, having suspicions that we are not aware of, and doing things that are groundless and worrying. This is the sadness and selfishness that belongs to each of us humans, and this may never be changed.

Unless we can transcend the limitations of the flesh.

White Epiphyllums were once my deepest nightmare. They took root in corpses, like the common enemy of zombies and humans.

However, looking at the mutant zombies that have just appeared, they may be more in line with the title of natural enemies of humans and zombies.

"Do you control all the zombies in the city now?"

I took out a piece of black bone from my pocket, looked at it carefully, and slowly asked Tongtong. After hearing what I said, Tongtong pondered for a moment and then spoke softly.

"No, I just prioritized controlling this area. This city is too big. I only control one-third of the area at most."

"However, this number alone is several times the number of humans in the Shield Stronghold."

After looking at it for a while without any results, I threw the black bone in my hand. After a not-so-perfect parabola, the black bone fell into the dense sea of ​​Epiphyllum flowers.

The next moment, a piece of open space quickly appeared among the dense clusters of Epiphyllums. The white Epiphyllums seemed to be afraid of the black skeletons and moved away one after another.

Seeing this, Tongtong and I looked at each other, and saw surprise and disbelief in each other's eyes.

These mutated zombies actually have a natural suppressive aura towards the Epiphyllum group. This is extremely bad news.

I took out a small piece of black bone from my pocket and handed it to Tongtong. Tongtong reached out to take the black bone fragment. She tightened her palm and pinched the black bone fragment into tiny particles like sand. Nothing unusual happened.

Seeing this, I sighed and asked Tongtong softly.

"Tongtong, did you find anything?"

Tongtong gently stroked the palm of her hand, frowned slightly, and said with a headache.

"This bone has no effect on me, but it seems to be a deadly toxin to Epiphyllums. All Epiphyllums will instinctively resist and flee, even taking priority over my orders."

"It feels like there are people who can't afford to play, but they've taken advantage of all the loopholes they can to create the most favorable gaming environment for themselves."

Hearing this, I also had a headache. How come that nebula body looks more and more like a human being? They even resorted to such shameless tactics. Do they still think of themselves as some kind of advanced life form?

"What should we do now? Epiphyllum was originally expected to be an important combat force, but the Nebula Body caused such a complication."

After witnessing the abilities of the mutated zombies, my confidence in humanity's ability to fight them has hit rock bottom. Especially at times like this, the super-special combat power of Epiphyllum becomes more important. But now this last path has been completely blocked by the nebula.

I squatted on the ground, holding a stick in my hand, drawing casually on the ground, thinking in my heart how humans should fight against those mutated zombies.

The mutated zombies' proliferation rate is not as fast as that of ordinary zombies. After seeing the speed at which they fused yesterday, we can draw a simple conclusion that it takes them about ten minutes to assimilate an ordinary zombie, and the fusion is even slower.

Moreover, once they lose the support of sunlight, these mutated zombies will lose their ability to move. Under these restrictions, their proliferation rate is destined to be pitifully slow.

Perhaps, we should take advantage of now, before the number of mutant zombies expands, launch an attack directly, and put everything on it.

No... No, the number of people in the ancient city stronghold alone is enough to consume all the humans in the shield stronghold.

My brows furrowed more and more. No matter how hard I thought, I couldn't find a suitable solution. This was not something I was good at. Perhaps I should throw this difficult problem to Qu Yunliu.

Just when I was in distress, Tongtong suddenly spoke and whispered in my ear.

"Speaking of which, there is another kind of epiphyllum this time."

Hearing this, I turned back to look at Tongtong in surprise, but Tongtong was looking into the distance and spoke softly.

"Remember, in this reincarnation, both of us were extracted and divided into two individuals."

"Yours is Li Qiye, and mine is An."

"After the separation, the two identities actually underwent earth-shaking changes."

“And when I was An, the night-blooming cereus I spread was not white, nor pink, but purple.”

"I don't know how to explain it, but I think... the purple Epiphyllum may be immune to the strange influence of those black bones."

Tongtong spread her hands, imitated me, shrugged slightly, and said helplessly.

"Unfortunately, I can't sense those Epiphyllums now. It may be because of the distance, or it may be that after An and I separated and merged, those Epiphyllums were also affected."

"If we want to verify my guess, we may have to go and see it with our own eyes."

Chapter 213

"If we want to verify my guess, we may have to go and see it with our own eyes."

After Tongtong finished speaking, she turned her gaze to me, waiting for me to give her an answer.

I rubbed my fingers gently, frowned, and after thinking it over again and again, I slowly shook my head in Tongtong's disappointed eyes and answered with a little apology.

"Sorry, I can't go."

"The situation is tense right now. If I'm not here, the Shield Stronghold might be razed to the ground during this period of time, so I can't leave."

Tongtong seemed a little angry when she heard that. She raised her foot lightly and kicked me behind without using much strength, saying dissatisfiedly.

"It's useless for you to stay. Without the abilities of mimicry, you'll be nothing more than a human punching bag. Do you think you can play a key role?"

I smiled bitterly and shook my head. Tongtong was right. Without those fancy abilities, I am now just a human sandbag that is relatively resistant to beatings. I don't have any key means to deal with those mutated zombies.

only……

"I can't just pretend I know nothing and let those people die without me knowing."

I lowered my head and murmured softly, but Tongtong became even angrier when she heard that. She bit her lip, stomped her feet, turned around and left.

"I don't care about you anymore. I'll go by myself. Don't let the Nebula Body beat you into a retard during this time."

Tongtong strode towards the car, threw all the guns and ammunition in the car out, then slammed the door, rolled her eyes at me, started the car, and drove away.

I stayed where I was, watching the car quickly disappear from my sight, and let out a breath.

This is not an unexpected choice.

Time is running out, both for me and Tongtong. The longer the time goes, the more difficult it will be to deal with those mutated zombies. Tongtong understands this, so she will set out now to get in touch with our final trump cards.

I sighed, stood up from the ground, and recalled the angry words Tongtong said when she left, and burst out laughing.

Tongtong still cannot identify with the human group. The choice she just made implies abandoning the shield stronghold and going far away to accumulate strength.

The place where the purple Epiphyllum blooms is the place that was changed by me in this reincarnation, the Corpse God Cult.

"Corpse God Cult? I wonder how that guy Cangwu is doing."

In this reincarnation, after Cangwu and I's careful management, the power of the Corpse God Cult is actually much stronger than the Shield Stronghold. If we can lure them here, we will have more chances.

I whispered to myself and put away the gun on the ground. I didn't have a headache about how to return to the shield base. In this city, the thing I lacked the most was a tool like a car.

So, after putting away my gun, I strolled through the city again after a long time.

This time, I brought a shotgun. After countless actual combat experiences, I completely fell in love with the destructive power and recoil of the shotgun.
