Chapter 134
No one is a persimmon who can survive in today's world.
Therefore, after this mandatory order was issued, it was like a drop of cold water falling into a hot oil pan, causing it to crackle.
Like Shang Jin and their team, although they also desire to increase their strength, they also don't want to lose any of their companions.
The most important thing is that their team is very sticky. Losing Ah Mao has already made them feel like cutting flesh. If they get rid of a few more...
Thinking of this possibility, everyone couldn't accept it. Xiao Fang, who originally wanted to try to see if he could improve his abilities so that he could contribute more, dared not say that he was going to inject new drugs.
It is important to become stronger, but it is more important to be with everyone.
He still has a steelyard in his heart.
This survivor's base is their last retreat. If they don't even stay here for a long time, where else can they go?
Go to another base?
That's what those supernatural beings think.
He came here at the beginning because it was the largest and most regulated place, but over the past half a year, several other base forces have been formed in the entire Cherry City one after another, so there is no need to hang himself on this crooked neck tree.
It's just that the other bases have their own disadvantages. Which one they choose to go to is more sure-it's not just that they can arrive safely, but also that they can be accepted by the other party-?
This question also troubled Shang Jin and the others.
Now there are three better places to go, but they are located in three different places. Although they are famous, they don't know more information, and they are worried that they will go out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den.
Moreover, the people in the team have different choices for the three bases, and some even have big ambitions and say that they should just go out and build a small force by themselves-the public says that the public is right, and the woman says that the woman is right, which makes Shang Jin in a dilemma and loses his hair. A lot, but still can't make a decision.In the end, his wife Maka couldn't bear it, and took out a set of tarot cards: "Why don't I do a divination and see which direction to choose."
Maca's divination ability is so good that even the high-level executives in the base have heard about it, and asked her to do a divination once before.
Coincidentally, this divination was just before Shang Jin and the others left the gas station mission.
Because of this, Maca was not able to do a complete divination before Shang Jin and the others set off.
The time before and after is the morning and the afternoon, so coincidental, who knows that the tragedy happened like this.
Maca blamed himself very much, thinking that if he had agreed to the invitation of the senior management of the base to do the divination, he would have been able to do the calculations before Shang Jin and the others set off, and maybe he would have been able to predict the death card, and perhaps the best possible way to avoid the sacrifice of his companions.
But in fact, everyone does not blame Maca, Maca agreed to divination for the high-level in exchange for rewards for his companions.
It was Maca in their team that was able to avoid many crises before they came, but the other teams did not have such supernatural powers as Maca. Didn't they rely on their own abilities to get to where they are today?
Moreover, the mission of the gas station was originally only B-level. According to this standard, tasks below A-level would not bother with Maca divination. It can only be said that this is an inescapable fate.
※※※
Due to limited conditions, Maca will no longer be as full of rituals as before, such as bathing and burning incense. She only uses the necessary tools-22 major arcana cards and 56 minor arcana cards for 78 mixed cards. ——Then calm down and start immersing yourself in the supernatural power.
Maca naturally spared no effort to find the future direction for everyone, and soon, the Tarot cards showed the divination results.
But after interpreting it, she was terrified.
Because she is fluctuating among the three bases, her divination objects are also these three bases, but look what are these cards?
Wheel of Fortune, Justice, and lastly, Reaper.
The reversed wheel of fortune represents setbacks, obstacles, plan failures, bad development, and a vicious circle;
Reversed justice represents imbalance, prejudice, disturbance, arbitrariness, guilty conscience, and inability to have both;
As for the Grim Reaper, the traditional impression is that it represents bad things, but it happened that this reversed Grim Reaper gave her a glimmer of hope to bring the dead back to life and get rid of the downturn.
It's just that the location of the base represented by the Reversed God of Death is too remote. When Cherry City was still normal, it was a place where gangsters and all kinds of cults gathered.
Most importantly, I heard that this base seems to respect the strong and only welcomes those with supernatural abilities, and has a very bad attitude towards ordinary people.
Although most of their teams are people with supernatural powers, there are also ordinary people, and these ordinary people are also companions they will not give up.
So even if this base is an inverted death card with a glimmer of hope, Maca is not optimistic.
Because of the obvious bad situation, she even wondered if there was something wrong with her state at the time, or something like dizziness, that caused her to misread the upright death card as a reversed one.
"I'll do another divination." Maca gritted his teeth.
Shang Jin looked at his wife's pale face: "You've consumed so much just now, and your abilities haven't recovered yet, so don't force yourself..."
"Husband," Maca interrupted him, "let me try."
They are companions and family members, so it is impossible to separate them for the new base, right?
Shang Jin met the other person's eyes, the firmness and stubbornness in that shocked him, he was silent for a while, and he took a step back: "You...do what you can."
Maca bent her lips and smiled: "Of course, I want to grow old with you forever."
※※※
This time, Maca did not perform divination on a certain base, and was preparing to face the entire Cherry City, looking for a direction suitable for their team's future advancement.
It may be because the divination used up a lot of powers before, but this time it took longer than last time, so long that she was in a cold sweat, Shang Jin couldn't help but want to interrupt her after watching, she suddenly He took a deep breath, and then his body went limp, just paralyzed in Shang Jin's arms who had been paying attention to him.
After Maca recovered a little bit, she informed her long-awaited companions of her divination results. However, after she gave the general direction, the companions all fell into silence and confusion.
"south?"
Everyone thought about it in their minds: "Is there any famous base in the south?"
No wonder they would ask such questions. In fact, the three bases they considered before happened to be in the east, west, and north directions, and the survivor base barely occupied a [center] position.
Cherry City has been occupied for so long, and I haven't really heard of any good bases in the southern area.
"Could it be that this is for us to establish ourselves as kings in the south?" As soon as this muttering came out, people complained: "Daqing has been dead for many years, and he still establishes himself as king!"
"You can't say that. There are a few rich communities in the south. A place where the rich can live is better than the base of the inverse death representative?"
Thinking of it this way, it seems to make sense. After all, this divination covers the entire Cherry City. If the base represented by the inverse Death God is really good, it should be selected this time, but in fact this time But it was "lost".
However, compared to the well-known base, they don't know anything about this southern area.
※※※
"I believe in this direction. When I was divining, I felt a mysterious and mysterious force driving me. This must be a guide to our plight and pain." In the unbearable silence, Maca's voice was very firm.
Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and when they looked at each other, Xiao Fang's voice sounded hesitantly: "Actually, regarding the south side, I heard that there is still a good place."
"Xiao Fang, repeat what you just said? You said you know a better place besides the survivor's base?"
Stared at by more than a dozen pairs of eyes, Xiao Fang licked his mouth nervously: "I, I just said that there is a good place, but whether it is better than the Survivor Base, I can't guarantee it. After all, I I’ve only heard about it, but I haven’t actually been there.”
Having said that, everyone didn't feel disappointed, and asked him to explain in more detail.
※※※
Coincidentally, Xiao Fang's ability is to turn into an animal, but it's not a mammal, but a monk parrot.
Although the monk parrot has the word "monk", it has nothing to do with Buddhism. It is a kind of off-white cheeks, light gray chest, light yellow-green upper abdomen, olive-yellow lower (body), light blue wings, green upper tail, The central tail feathers are blue-turquoise, the base of the lower tail coverts is gray-blue, the beak is orange-red, the iris is dark brown, and the legs and claws are pink.
Of course, monk parrots are more than just cute.
As one of the most talking birds, the monk parrot has a powerful imitation ability, not only talking, but also imitating other strange sounds.
Even if the understanding of some vocabulary may be biased due to differences in the ontology, for birds, the monk parrot Xiaofang is colorful and very eye-catching. This gorgeous color is very "beautiful" in nature.
So whenever there is something new, they like to chat with Xiaofang.
And Xiaofang also learned from these "chats" that a very special place has appeared in Cherry City, where people can not only eat and drink enough, but also eat very well!
These words were understood by Xiao Fang himself, because the birds said in their own words that the worms there are as plump and juicy as before!Instead of becoming ugly and hard after being mutated like this - if the birds hadn't also mutated, they might starve to death without food!
Although they can eat those ugly bugs now, it doesn't mean they don't miss the thin-skinned, tender, plump and juicy bugs in the past!
Hearing Xiao Fang's words, Shang Jin leaned forward unconsciously: "Is what you said true? Did you misunderstand the meaning of those little things? There is really a place where food and vegetables can be grown by relying on the land instead of relying on Eat the food stored before?"
Not only was he emotionally agitated, but the others were also visibly short of breath.
They couldn't believe it, was there a better place in Cherry City than the Survivor Base?
You must know that the current food in the survivor base is also stored food. Every meal is rationed for each person every day, so they can barely stay hungry. Basically, they are some dry cakes and pasta, even if they occasionally eat a meal every few days , are also some dried pickles, packaged mustard and the like.
Vegetables, the kind of tender and fresh things seem to only exist in the long memory.
But there is actually a place with fresh vegetables and fresh meat?
What kind of fairy place is this!
※※※
"If Xiao Fang is talking about the place I know, I think it's very possible." At this time, another person hesitated to speak, and he was a new member of their team.
They say they are new members, but they have actually been in their team for two months.
This person is called Eugene, and he is a power-type user, and his wife is also a person with abilities, but her abilities are relatively tasteless, and it is said that she can emit an "aura" that makes people around her feel peaceful.
When they came to the Survivor Base, they brought their families with them—two frail elderly people and a five-year-old child.
In Cherry City today, it is very difficult to see such obviously weak old people and children.Unless they were in a high position, or they had supernatural powers, it was obvious that Eugene's family was not a powerful person, and apart from their husband and wife, their parents and children had no supernatural powers.
In this environment, without the shelter of the base, it is a miracle that their family can survive for so long without any injuries.
Shang Jin and the others thought that Eugene was particularly responsible, protecting his family along the way, wading through mountains and rivers, and overcoming all difficulties.
Shang Jin especially appreciates this character of never leaving his family in times of crisis, so others in the base see that Eugene is just a relatively large number of power-type supernatural beings, and there are old and young. , When they all gave up recruiting into the team, they took the initiative to recruit Eugene into the team.
Seeing everyone listening attentively, Eugene recalled and organized his words: "I'm not sure, but we did meet a super powerful team of supernatural beings on the road, and they came from the south."
※※※
Temporarily back to the present, Zhou Yang looked at Wei Ge when he heard what Eugene said in Jiangsu Zhong, Wei Ge rummaged through his memory, and looked at Eugene: "I still remember you. "
Because Eugene was covered in bruises at the time, but he still protected his wife, children, and family. Wei Ge felt that this man was very responsible, so he not only saved them, but also put a ray of devil energy on him, not for surveillance. It was to protect him from dying halfway on the way to the base.
After all, there was only one meeting, so the effect of the magic energy given by Wei Ge was limited, and it disappeared without a trace after a few times of consumption.
So just now Wei Ge couldn't feel the devilish energy on the other party, so he didn't recognize the other party for a while.
But Eugene didn't know, he was just very surprised that such a powerful person as Wei Ge still remembered such an ordinary person like him, and he reacted with excitement and surprise: "It's thanks to you!"
Wei Ge: "It's nothing, it's just a little effort."
He said it so lightly and skillfully, he really didn't take it to heart, but when they heard it, they were shocked like thunder.
Because in Eugene's narration, the leader of the team of supernatural beings who saved them was really "a little bit of effort" when dealing with evolved zombies.
