, Zhang Zhiyin guessed that he would really lose his strength for three days. But at this time, he could not care that much.
Before coming, Zhang Zhiyin antic.i.p.ated that the situation was critical and had quickly changed into his redemption suit. At this time, with the addition of the suit, he had nearly reached the strength of the middle and later stages of Level 5. He tucked the magic fruit into his mouth and swallowed it. He went to the front and sent two ice spheres to the zombies below.
One ice sphere hit the left shoulder of the body on the left, and the other hit the arm of the body on the right. However, from the place where they were hit, the freezing effect spread rapidly. Soon, both bosses were frozen in place. With the freezing effect was still spreading over their body, the zombies on both sides were soon frozen and unable to move.
It was just two ice b.a.l.l.s, but the effect was comparable to the extreme ice elemental power “Thousand Miles of Frost”.
At the same time, Zhang Zhiyin was unable to support himself and collapsed.
He raised his head and tried vainly to lift his limp arm. Finally, he could only laugh bitterly and said to the leader, “Brother Long, you have to take me away now.”
The leader had a name. He was called w.a.n.g Long.
The leader nodded and began to organize the final withdrawal of the remaining troops with the a.s.sistant group"s leader. Although they did not know exactly what method Zhang Zhiyin used, it could be judged from their experience that he would not be able to persist in this state for long.
Dadao and Ah Mu, the wooden ability users in the team, took Zhang Zhiyin and left together.
As soon as Zhang Zhiyin was lifted, he felt a soft ma.s.s rubbing against his chest, it then jumped into his trousers pocket.
Zhang Zhiyin looked down powerlessly at the one with “I was left out by a stupid Zhiyin for several days. He wanted to run away without thinking about taking me along with him. I hate him, I"m going to ignore him… If you comb my hair smooth, then I"ll let you go this time" written all over its little expression and smiled gently.
The little thing was so smart, and to think that he was worrying about how to find it and take it away, it had already found him by itself. It was a pity that he was weak all over. He could only wait for himself to recover before he could comb its hair.
Zhang Zhiyin"s two ice spheres stopped the zombies for five minutes, and it was enough time for them to evacuate. As the car drove out of the North Gate, they could also hear the roar of the defense wall being knocked down by the zombies.
Li Jun, the precision ability of the a.s.sistant team, leaned out to look in the direction of the base, murmured, “They rushed in.”
“But we have already left.” The group leader continued.
Looking at it, the expression of all the people in the car reflected “Life after surviving a disaster”.
The first and second batch of evacuees from the base had long been gone, but soon they caught up with the seventy-eighty evacuations from the third group. Most of the people from the third batch were relatives of the left-behind ability users, they were unwilling to leave in advance and originally wanted to stay until the end. As they were unwilling to leave, their speed of travel was also not fast. At this time, when the relatives of both sides met, they could hardly hide their excitement, some people even cried while hugging each other.
After joining up, they became a team of 100 people, about 30 of whom were ability users and the rest were ordinary people. But after the test of life and death, almost all the remaining ability users here were fighters who supported each other.
Zhang Zhiyin, who was totally exhausted, was sent to the special carriage intended for the protection of the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the young, however, every day the rest of the team would come to chat with him. Their most curious question was: How did you survive, Captain? They all saw you dead.
This was the advantage of being a player! How would you, the NPCs understand that!
With this in mind, Zhang Zhiyin had to compile and weaved out a story: “There used to be a person who gave me a s.p.a.ce talisman to protect my life, so in fact, I did not die, but in the moment of getting strike by the thunder, I used the s.p.a.ce talisman to move myself to other places.”
Everyone suddenly understood, and then other questions followed—
“s.p.a.ce talisman is a high-level s.p.a.ce item. The person who can make s.p.a.ce talisman must be very good, right? Was the person a high-leveled s.p.a.ce ability user?"
“Where is that person now? Why didn"t that person accompany you, captain?"
“Did that person give you the same fruit you ate before that gave you an instant boost in your abilities but then made you lost your strength?”
“Who is that person? Captain, how did you know each other? Why does that person matter to you?"
“Ah? Captain, did that person give you the ring?"
“…”
Although the team members did not ask so frankly, in these three days later, they took an indirect approach and asked all these questions.
Zhang Zhiyin finally understood why a lie required a hundred lies to be rounded up. At this time, he could only do what the internet said, “Just giving a sight smile will do.”
However, since he had been following the route of imitating the expressionless boss, Zhang Zhiyin also chose to remain silent with his head slightly lowered and remained expressionless in the face of these questions. But that was good too, as those people who didn"t understand would just say that he was like that because of “the unspoken person”. Zhang Zhiyin relaxed a lot due to not having to continue lying.
But people"s brain power was great and infinite. It seemed to everyone that his action had become—
“Seeing how our captain said nothing but looked at the ring in his hand with a lonely face, it was as if he were looking at it silently in reminiscence.”
So with the efforts of all the people, they finally put together the “truth” of that year.
Captain Zhang used to have a lover who was a high-level s.p.a.ce ability, who was probably more powerful than Captain Zhang. They should have been married, or at least engaged, as evidenced by the ring. Then something unspeakable happened, and they separated again. One of the possible reasons for the separation was the death of the captain"s lover while they were trying to save the captain—of course, that would be an irreversible BE, but because of their love for their captain, they didn"t want to believe that this reason was true. Another reason was that the captain and his lover did not share the same ideology so they went separate ways. This was better than being separated from each other by heaven and earth.
However, it was clear to all of them, that in this eschatological environment, there was a good chance that the person whom the captain couldn"t bear to mention was really gone forever. But no one spoke and no one asked Zhang Zhiyin again. They silently congratulated the captain and his lover. They hoped that the captain"s lover would still be there. They hoped that they would meet again soon.
Zhang Zhiyin, who had no knowledge of this, felt that there were fewer people who came to him recently to ask questions about “that person”.
He tried to lift his arm that was slightly gaining back its strength and sighed in his heart. Yin Nian"s expressionless trump-card was really useful. There wasn"t really that many people that could put on a cold expression on their face every day.
