Only half of the D3's head was exposed, the neck and half of its face were hidden under the steel can. Zhang Xiaoqiang used the Rat King Blade to cut through the top of the D3's skull, but he was unable to cut through it. It seemed like the D3's skull was the same as the Rat King's skull, it was impossible for the Rat King Blade to cut through it.
The D3's weak point was located in its skull. If Zhang Xiaoqiang wanted to kill it, he would have to dig through its skull. Now that there was such a good opportunity, Zhang Xiaoqiang naturally wanted to kill this potential threat. Who knew if the D3 would continue to evolve or not?
Looking at the D3's eyes and mouth that were hidden under the steel can, Zhang Xiaoqiang made up his mind. The Rat King Blade stabbed into the thick steel can, and with a twist of his wrist, a large piece of steel the size of a teacup fell off.
Then a strong sense of fear overwhelmed Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart. He bounced up from the ground and retreated to Qiaoyun's side, pulling her along as he ran. Then a transparent liquid flowed out from the hole that Zhang Xiaoqiang had cut open with the Rat King Blade. The colorless liquid spread out like water.
As it spread, no matter what it touched, it would turn into light blue crystals. Then, the blue crystals would start to emit white gas. Not long after, as long as the liquid spread, it would turn into crystals. As the liquid continued to flow out of the cracks, the crystallized area on the ground would become wider and wider.
Not long after the liquid flowed out, the D3's white skull was also solidified into a blue amber. Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoqiang's hair stood on end. Because he didn't understand, he was afraid. He didn't know what this thing was, but something that could make him feel fear was definitely not simple. The D3 didn't use its knee to hit the car anymore, it seemed like it was sealed by something unknown?
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't know if it was a psychological or physiological reason, but he felt a strong chill around him. This strong chill weakened the stench of corpses in the air.
With regards to this unknown chill, Zhang Xiaoqiang seemed to be more willing to smell the thick and suffocating stench of corpses. It was still the same reason. Compared to the unknown chill that appeared in midsummer, he was more willing to be accompanied by the familiar stench of corpses. At least the stench of corpses was something that he understood and would not bring him harm.
Just as Zhang Xiaoqiang was considering whether he should stay away from the strange thing, Wang Le, who was covered in oil, ran over. When he saw the crystal that was emitting white gas, he said, "Nitrogen leak?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang turned around and asked, "What is nitrogen?
Is it poisonous?
Will it cause harm to people? "
"Haha, it's fine, it's fine. This thing is very common. The atmosphere above us is full of it. It's not poisonous. It's a very cheap industrial raw material."
Hearing Wang Le's words, Zhang Xiaoqiang was slightly relieved. He pointed at the light blue crystal and asked, "What's going on?
It's summer now. Why is it frozen? "
"Ugh, how should I put it?
This thing is very common, but its special characteristic is that it can quickly cool down the surrounding temperature to -50 degrees Celsius in a very short period of time. Although it's not poisonous, if you come into contact with it, you'll be in big trouble. Peeling off a layer of skin would be the least of your worries. If it's serious, you might even freeze the area that it comes into contact with into dead meat.
Hearing Wang Le's words, Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the D3 was already frozen?
A scene from a movie flashed across his mind. There was such a scene in Terminator, where the liquid metal man was frozen into an ice sculpture and then shattered by a bullet. Could it be?
Could it be this thing?
Night fell, and in the silence of the night, Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at the sky full of stars and thought about the road ahead. On the first day out, they had already encountered a crisis where they were almost wiped out. First was the zombie horde, then the D3, and finally the zombie horde plus the D3. This had caused Zhang Xiaoqiang to feel like dying, and had also caused his team members to suffer from fear and exhaustion.
Although the D3 was eventually reduced to a pile of minced meat under the combined assault of the flames and nitrogen, Zhang Xiao Qiang had no confidence in the road ahead. A sense of uncertainty caused his heart to hang in the air for a long time, unable to calm down.
Today's luck had been good. During the day, he had accidentally bumped into both sides of the zombie horde. The Z-Type had died, and the zombie horde had dispersed. The D3 had also died, but the humans had survived. Other than the fishy soil that Zhang Xiaoqiang had brought with him, it was also the key to provoking the conflict between the two sides. The most important thing was luck. With luck and Zhang Xiaoqiang's desperate struggle, they had finally escaped with their lives.
But they were still so far away from WH City, and the road was the most densely populated place for humans. Would they still have such good luck?
Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart was filled with uncertainty.
With a sigh, Zhang Xiaoqiang turned around and walked towards the woman's campfire. Although it was dangerous, Zhang Xiaoqiang still decided to walk on. The future was still too unpredictable. At the very least, he had to use all the methods he could think of to keep himself alive, to keep the woman by his side alive, and to keep those brothers who had chased after him alive. Keep on living?
So difficult!
The fire was burning fiercely, and the dancing flames shone on people's faces, dispersing the coolness of the night. Zhang Xiaoqiang sat in front of the campfire, looking at the spiralling green flames. In the middle of the flames, there was a steel frame welded with steel bars. That was their simple outdoor stove.
Yuan Yi, who was in military uniform, held an iron ladle and stirred the iron pot on the stove. The iron pot was boiling with milky white soup. At this time, Yuan Yi did not have the fierceness she had when fighting the zombies during the day. Instead, she had the taste of a housewife. Under the illumination of the fire, her white face had a trace of captivating redness.
To be honest, ever since Yuan Yi was injured, the time that Zhang Xiaoqiang spent with her could be counted on one hand. However, Yuan Yi did not complain. In the past, she only needed to silently stand behind him and look at his back. Now, watching him enjoy the food she made every day, a sweet and sour warmth kept circling in her heart. As long as she could let him eat the food she made every day, wouldn't it be a kind of silent happiness?
Opposite the campfire was the charming figure of Qiaoyun. Shangguan Qiaoyun was doing her gun maintenance every day. The woman's unique care allowed her single-barreled gun to be in the best condition at all times. She was very satisfied with her life. It felt really good not to be a vase. There was no longer the boredom and emptiness of the past. There was no constantly calculating, and she did not even have to disguise herself to please men.
Although she was very satisfied with her current life, she still had a bit of resentment towards Zhang Xiaoqiang. She had almost expressed her feelings to him, but why did he still not take action?
She said that he was not interested in women, but she knew that he would secretly look for Yuan Yi in the middle of the night. She said that he despised her body, and he had a widow with a child by his side. She really did not understand him. She hoped that he would come to his senses soon and not make her wait too long.
