Chapter 186 Troublemaker
This path is not too long, and is about the same length as the hardware street where Wang Shun used to live. It takes about ten minutes to walk there normally. There are two people leading the way in front, waving blood-stained clothes in their hands, which constantly raise the smell of blood. The advantage of this smell stained with pig blood is that it will not spread too far, but it can effectively attract nearby infected bodies.
Especially since there used to be people living on both sides, they should have rushed out by now. However, after walking for five or six minutes, the people in front had sore arms, but there was still no movement on both sides of the street. Ma Ming knew that the infected bodies nearby must have gathered together. Usually, this situation means that there is a C-level person controlling it.
Under normal circumstances, Ma Ming might have changed his strategy, but when he thought about the fact that there were three psychics in his team now, this lineup was like a dragon riding on his face, so how could he lose?
"Qi Fei, Li Xin! Come back!"
Since the road had been almost explored, Ma Ming naturally called back the two people who had been leading the way in front. They were obviously relieved when they came back. Ma Ming gave a lot for this kind of bait job, with an extra crystal core for each person. Sometimes the smell of their psychics could not attract the hiding infected bodies, and they had to rely on these ordinary people.
They often cooperated with each other, so they knew each other well and felt at ease. Two of them skillfully handed the stick with the bloody clothes tied to it to Ma Ming. Ma Ming took it and wiped the ground with his hand, and the ground instantly became soft. Ma Ming then inserted the stick in. The clothes on the stick smelled of blood, so it was placed here as a warning. If this thing was still there when they came back, it meant that there was no problem with the retreat. If it had been moved or was gone, it meant that there was danger nearby. It could be regarded as some experience in the doomsday.
After completing the task, Qi Fei and Li Xin automatically walked behind Ma Ming. There should be nothing for them to do next. It has been quite some time since they left the safe point. Ma Ming decided to find a place to rest for a while. There happened to be a ready-made residence nearby. Although the door was locked, it did not pose a problem for Ma Ming.
He gently placed his hands on the wall, closed his eyes, and carefully felt the structure and force distribution inside the wall. After some exploration, he found the weakest part of the wall. Then he concentrated on using his special powers, and saw his hands gradually merge into the wall. Then he pushed his hands, and suddenly a gap appeared in the wall that was big enough for a person to enter sideways.
There was an empty room behind the wall. After Ma Ming checked to make sure it was safe, he let everyone go in first. He came in after everyone else had come in. As he pulled out his hands, the wall behind him healed up quickly, as if nothing had happened.
This ability works everywhere in the city, especially in old bungalows like this, most of which are made of red bricks and cement. As long as it is related to the earth element, he can control it to a certain extent, and the more earth elements he has, the easier it is for him.
This ability was also a skill that Ma Ming mastered when he was studying his special abilities. His special abilities made his defense much stronger, but his attack was slightly insufficient. He was not a warlike person, so his main concern at this time was to survive. Not many C-level special abilities users had the energy to develop multiple abilities, so this skill of clearing the way was his main means at present.
The place they entered should be the kitchen of this house. It was pitch black when the walls were closed. Ma Ming carefully opened the kitchen door and saw that the yard was relatively clean, with no signs of fighting, especially the layer of dust on the ground. It seemed that the house had been empty since before the end of the world. Qi Fei and Li Xin knocked on each other with their weapons, making some noise. After confirming that there were no infected bodies, they skillfully searched other rooms. Soon the two came out and shook their heads in frustration.
"There's nothing here, just an empty house!"
"It's okay, the empty house is just right, eat something and rest for ten minutes and then we'll set off!"
Wang Shun became excited when he heard this. Before others could react, he dragged a table next to him over and, with a flip of his wrist, spread an exquisite tablecloth on it like a butler. Before others could react, five boxes of self-heating hot pot were placed out. Under the surprised gazes of Ma Ming, Qi Fei and Li Xin, Wang Shun snapped his fingers several times in succession, and several bottles of mineral water and some fruits appeared on the tablecloth one after another.
"Fuck! Bro, you are Doraemon! This table is worth a lot of money!"
"Hey, didn't I tell you that I have space-related abilities? I raided supermarkets before, so I stockpiled a lot of stuff. Anyone who sees it gets a share! Anyone who sees it gets a share! Come on, come on, don't be polite!"
Wang Shun spoke modestly as he skillfully prepared the soup for Zagros and put a boiled egg and two sausages in it according to his preferences. The other people looked at the things in front of them, not daring to move their hands. Anything on the table would be a high-end product in the redemption mall. Qi Fei and Li Xin didn't even dare to think about it, as the food in front of them could buy their lives.
Zagreus was not polite. He took the small hot pot prepared by Wang Shun and started eating alone. Although eating was not necessary, it was also a sense of ritual. After Wang Shun finished, Zagreus also prepared it for himself. However, when he saw that Qi Fei and Li Xin did not move, he said, "Eat!"
Qi Fei and Li Xin looked a little reluctant and embarrassed, and both looked at Ma Ming. Ma Ming was stunned, but he glanced at Wang Shun and Zagreus, making sure that they really didn't care about it. Then he became a little excited and said to Wang Shun with a smile: "Brother, don't be surprised, they don't want to eat this thing, and want to take it back to exchange for something. Isn't the black fog coming again soon? This thing is equivalent to a month's work for them. Let them do it!"
Wang Shun didn't care. He just laughed and started eating. Qi Fei and Li Xin didn't blame him and carefully stuffed the food into their backpacks. Then they took out two bags of compressed biscuits. This was the cheapest food in the system and the staple food for these ordinary people.
They ate very quickly, and ten minutes was enough. There was no need to clean up after eating anyway, so just leave it here. Seeing that everyone else had finished packing, Ma Ming wanted to open the wall of the kitchen, but his movements suddenly froze.
The five senses of a psychic are much stronger than those of an ordinary person. He has heard some noise outside, so he quickly signaled for everyone to be quiet. He carefully walked to the corner and put his ear against it. After listening carefully for a while, he scratched the wall with his fingers a few times, and a crack appeared. He put his eyes against it.
At this time, the few people standing behind also clearly heard the sound of someone talking outside the wall.
"Boss, this woman came out from here before. I recognized her. She was with Ma Ming. I saw that she had a lot of good stuff on her, including cigarettes. She was following someone before, but unfortunately he ran away with the stuff. If it weren't for this woman, we would have caught up with her!"
"Then why did you arrest her? Don't tell me you're still thinking about that!"
"How could that be possible! Boss, I just heard them talking about something in the cannery. They must know what happened. Besides, Ma Ming and his men entered this road before and never came out, so I notified you immediately!"
"The cannery! That's interesting. Hey, tell us everything you know, or you'll be left with these guys!"
"I don't know, I really don't know anything. You can see that I went back by myself. The place where Ma Ge and the others went was too dangerous, so I didn't dare to go. Now I don't know where they went!"
