1154: villa
There were so many Zombies in front of him, even more than the Zombies he had personally encountered in the Hospital.
With the energy points he could currently mobilize, wanting to completely kill them was nothing but a pipe dream.
The only way was to make these Zombies actively clear a path.
Therefore, Hong Lei could only place his hopes on the Delicious Nut now.
After the Delicious Nut seed was thrown out, Hong Lei could hear a muffled sound coming from the fertile field not far away.
Afterward, there was the sound of plants growing vigorously.
"Roar!"
The first two Zombies had already pounced on the front windshield and the driver's side door of Da Hu's car respectively, revealing their ferocious appearance while constantly using their hard skulls to smash against the car windows!
In just two breaths' time, a conspicuous spiderweb of cracks appeared on the front windshield!
Large patches of foul blood even obscured half of the windshield!
The window glass on the car door also exploded with cracks under the Zombie's impact.
Looking in the rearview mirror, they could see that other Zombies had already surrounded the car during this time.
"Looks like Hong Ge and I are going to be finished here today. I thought I'd either die at the hands of people from the underworld or at the hands of the Police, but I never expected... I'd end up dying at the hands of a ghostly thing like a Zombie."
"Let me tell you the truth before I die, Hong Ge, actually, what I told you on the telephone before, that I was doing very well following my relatives, was a lie."
"That relative didn't think highly of me at all. I lay around at home for several months this year, and later that relative hit someone, so he had me take the blame and go to jail for over half a year. After I got out, he gave me this old car he didn't drive."
"This gold chain on my neck."
Da Hu lifted the gold on his neck, smiling self-deprecatingly: "It's fake too. I don't even dare to go soak in hot springs with this thing on, afraid it'll float up, hahaha."
Da Hu lit a cigarette for himself, took a deep puff, and then, amidst the muffled sounds of Zombies hitting the car, recounted: "Before, I thought I was very capable, fearless of Heaven and Earth, but after you chased me away, Hong Ge, I realized how useless I was."
"Hong Ge, you don't know, without you giving orders, I didn't dare to do anything, and I couldn't do anything well!"
"Just now, I heard you even have a villa, and you called me at this time, I was still thinking I could follow you again, Hong Ge, but I never expected, the final result would be this..."
Da Hu shook his head as he spoke, containing too many complex emotions within.
While "puffing and puffing" on the cigarette, it quickly burned down to the butt.
Only then did Da Hu suddenly realize that the Zombies hitting the car had disappeared at some point.
In the field beside the road, however, there was a large commotion.
Hong Lei, in the passenger seat, shined the flashlight over.
Just one glance, the scene within made the two people in the car slightly tremble.
They saw.
In that piece of land, a Nut the height of a person appeared.
And sixty to seventy Zombies, one by one, swarmed towards this Nut!
Amidst roars, they bit down on the Nut!
Some of the Zombies even had their loose teeth fall out under this high-intensity gnawing, but those Zombies still seemed completely unaware, using both hands and feet, moving large mouthfuls of the Nut into their mouths!
As if facing some irresistible delicacy, even Hong Lei and Da Hu, who were nearby, no longer held any attraction!
In a trance, Hong Lei could even see an overwhelmed, teary-eyed expression on some parts of the Delicious Nut's exposed body.
"Hong Ge, this?!"
"Go!"
Hong Lei didn't hesitate, saying directly to Da Hu.
The Delicious Nut was truly effective, and extremely effective!
Originally, Hong Lei was thinking it could attract a portion of the Zombies, giving them more ways and opportunities to leave.
But he never expected that one Delicious Nut would directly attract all the Zombies.
Even a few hidden Zombies in the Darkness gathered there!
With all the Zombies attracted away and the problem completely resolved, they naturally had to seize the opportunity to escape!
"Okay."
Da Hu subconsciously placed his hand on the steering wheel and floored the accelerator.
After a dozen breaths, the car had driven several hundred meters away.
Looking at the accident scene in the rear that they could still vaguely see, both Hong Lei and Da Hu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Although it was thrilling, they managed to pass through unharmed!
"Are these things the same as the Zombies in Zombie movies? If you get bitten, you get infected?"
After escaping the danger, Da Hu began asking questions related to Zombies.
Hong Lei nodded: "More or less, but they are clearly stronger than the Zombies described in most movies."
"With so many Zombies, didn't any soldiers come to deal with them?"
"Everything is in chaos, the distribution of these Zombies is clearly not limited to just the ones we just saw."
Hong Lei's words also confirmed that besides the Hospital, there really were Zombies in other places!
Hong Lei naturally hoped that this chaotic situation would be brought under control as soon as possible, but he didn't have much confidence in his heart.
After seeing the freezing rain containing Dark energy, he could vaguely sense that compared to the days to come, Zombies seemed to be just an appetizer!
"Were there also these Zombies at the County Hospital?"
Da Hu suddenly asked.
Hong Lei nodded.
"No wonder I heard so many gunshots at the County Hospital before.
The news even said someone was fighting at the County Hospital.
I've lived this long and never seen any fight that would make the Army deploy, open fire, and bombard to suppress it!"
"So, it was all Zombies there!"
"Good heavens, how serious must that be? The world has changed!"
"The world has indeed changed, it has become a sky darker than the sky we originally saw."
Hong Lei looked at the sky outside the car window, and then glanced at the time on his telephone.
It was already six o'clock in the morning.
It wasn't winter now.
Under normal circumstances, by this time, the sky would already be bright.
But now, there was only a faint glow on the horizon, about the same as the twilight revealed by the sky around five o'clock originally.
Imperceptibly, The Black Night seemed to have swallowed an extra hour of daylight!
The vehicle drove steadily.
On the road afterward, they didn't encounter any more Zombies, but they didn't meet any living people either.
On the silent road, the vehicle continued driving for over twenty minutes before slowly stopping.
"Hong Ge, we're here."
Da Hu's voice woke up Hong Lei, who was resting with his eyes closed.
Looking outside the car, under the dimly lit sky, he didn't find any other figures present.
Opening the car door with peace of mind, Hong Lei turned to look at a small path extending in beside the road.
"Bang~"
Da Hu also got out of the car at this moment.
"Heaven and Earth Villa.
No. 9."
Seeing the special sign in front of him, Da Hu shook his head: "Among all the residential areas in the County, I think this name is the most unrefined."
"The location is so remote, barely adjacent to the County, it can actually be said to be a Town/Township area."
"And it sold for expensive.
It deserves the price drop so much after half a year.
You can get a set for three million."
After Da Hu finished his evaluation, he turned his head to see Hong Lei, realized something, and gave an awkward smile: "However, after you move in, Hong Ge, the value of this villa will definitely soar!"
Hong Lei shook his head and led Da Hu onto the road extending into the villa.
The road was quite wide, driving the car in was not a problem either.
Without walking many steps, Hong Lei saw a villa hidden by a dense forest.
At first glance, the villa covered a considerable area, with a small courtyard, a garden, and even an abandoned swimming pool filled with fallen leaves.
"The decoration is quite grand though, selling for three million is understandable."
After seeing the villa, Da Hu commented.
"Hong Ge, that guy even locked the gate, looks like he went out."
Da Hu came to the large iron gate and grabbed the big lock on it.
He swung it around and looked, picked up a stone from the ground, and smashed it hard against the big lock!
Just now in the car, Hong Lei had basically explained the origin of this villa to him clearly.
Therefore, Da Hu's view at this time was the same as Hong Lei's; facing someone who intended to be a deadbeat, they didn't need to adhere to the exact time.
Moreover, the World was already close to great chaos.
The one million borrowed some time ago had a purchasing power of one million.
Even if you returned two million later, what could you buy?
You borrowed ten thousand thirty years ago, and thirty years later, with currency devaluation today, you return twenty thousand?
Clearly, it was impossible for Hong Lei and Da Hu to suffer this loss.
"Clang~"
A heavy sound erupted from the big lock, causing the iron gate to hum and tremble.
Under the heavy smash of one stone, the big lock still didn't break open.
"Bang!"
Another blow, gathering all his strength, fell.
The big lock still didn't react at all.
After continuing to smash for a while, Da Hu spat out phlegm: "Damn it, the quality of this lock is really good.
The stone broke for me, but it didn't budge at all."
"Hong Ge, wait a moment, let me go get a crowbar from the car."
Keeping a crowbar in the car was also one of Da Hu's habits.
"Let me do it."
Hong Lei's voice came from behind.
Da Hu turned his head to look.
He saw, in front of him, Hong Lei took out a flower pot from his body, then walked to the muddy ground nearby, dug up a handful of mud and put it in the flower pot.
Also, under Da Hu's puzzled expression, Hong Lei directly placed the Pea seed into it.
As for Da Hu, Hong Lei always treated him as one of his own.
Moreover, this thing would face the world sooner or later, so there was no need to hide it at all.
However, in just over a dozen breaths' time, with Da Hu's eyes wide open, the seed Hong Lei had just placed in the flower pot directly grew into a green hairdryer!
"Hong Ge, this... I'm not seeing things, am I?!"
"This is a Pea Shooter.
In the future, I plan to use this villa as the center and plant similar plants all around."
Hong Lei directly stated his general plan.
He came out in advance precisely to establish a foothold in the outside world first.
Then it would be convenient to bring his wife and daughter over.
And to ensure his own safety, there were too few trustworthy people, not enough strength, and gathering too many people would inevitably lead to his defeat by human nature in the end.
The only reliable method was to let the plants sold by the System become his bodyguards!
Of course, having a trustworthy subordinate like Da Hu to help with things was certainly the icing on the cake.
"Plant these hairdryers all around?"
Da Hu hadn't yet witnessed the strength of the Pea Shooter and didn't quite understand what this thing was.
But it was only in the next moment.
"Pfft~"
A round bullet suddenly shot out from the Pea Shooter's mouth, and in the next moment, it hit the iron lock on the big gate directly!
