Chapter 24 24. After the mysterious girl
Xu Zhi said that, the two people in the distance thought so, so they took the initiative to walk towards Xu Zhi's position.
After walking in, Xu Zhi saw clearly the appearance of the two of them, a man in his thirties and a little girl who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old.
Judging from the clothes and mental outlook of the two of them, they should be living a good life. At least they are not short of food, clothing and water. The man even has enough time to take care of his beard.
And their eyes were very clear.
Xu Zhi had no chance to look in the mirror to see if her eyes were normal after entering her spiritual body, but judging from the reactions of the two people, there was probably nothing wrong with her eyes.
Is it because the spiritual body has no clear attributes, so she is not considered a follower of [Cup]?
But judging from the characteristics of this spiritual body, it is obvious that it is definitely biased towards [Cup].
Several thoughts flashed through Xu Zhi's mind. She guessed that perhaps the core invested was not enough to awaken the attributes of the spiritual body, so she did not show any obvious appearance.
But if he invested more [Cup] attribute cores, Xu Zhi was not sure whether he could suppress the inexplicable restlessness in his heart as smoothly as he did now.
If you have the chance, try it out. The most important thing now is the two people in front of you.
Xu Zhi recovered his thoughts, looked at the two of them and asked, "Who are you?"
"Oh, hello, my name is Yan Songlin, and this is my daughter Yan Rui. We are residents living nearby. What about you?
" The man named Yan Songlin exudes elegance in both the tone of his speech and his facial expressions. It is estimated that before the apocalypse, he must have been a man with a pretty good family, and life after the apocalypse is obviously not too difficult, so he did not The temperament is worn away.
"I came from somewhere else." Xu Zhi simply said this.
The parents across the street are residents here, and they must know more or less who is left nearby after so long since the city was closed. There is no point in lying.
Seeing that Xu Zhi only said this, Yan Songlin already understood that she didn't want to reveal more, and he naturally didn't force it. These were not important.
"Do you have a place to go? Do you want to come with us?"
"Don't worry, we have a temporary gathering place. There are now nearly 30 people. Everyone is a nearby resident. We will also send people out to search every day. Survivors, the atmosphere in the gathering place is pretty good, and with the protection of extraordinary beings, it is much safer than being alone outside."
This sentence is also very familiar.
Naturally, Xu Zhi couldn't really join. She would be gone in ten minutes!
But it was okay to use clichés, so after thinking about it, she asked: "It's not safe for me to be outside, but how do I know it's safe to go with you?" This
is a normal worry.
Yan Songlin seemed to have been asked this question many times. He smiled knowingly: "It's understandable to have such worries, but you can also rest assured that there will not be any people in our gathering place who will threaten the safety of our companions. That guy."
Yan Songlin's words were filled with absolute confidence, and his tone was so sure that Xu Zhi felt weird.
"How can you ensure this?" she asked.
Yan Songlin smiled and said, "I'm not sure, but there is someone at the gathering place who can make sure that everyone is safe and that the danger will not come from the people around them." Although he didn't say it explicitly, he almost hinted at it
.
This is no longer a world for ordinary people, but for people with extraordinary abilities. In a gathering place, there are people who can tell whether the people around them are “safe” or not.
Xu Zhi was thinking about what kind of extraordinary ability this was? Is it a passive or active ability?
She still knew too little about extraordinary abilities, and she dared not say that such abilities would never appear among the currently known attributes. If it weren't for lack of time, Xu Zhi would even want to go back to the gathering place with them to have a look.
After thinking about it, she asked, "How long does it take to get back to the gathering place from here?"
"About half an hour."
"That's a pity." Xu Zhi sighed regretfully.
Yan Rui was a little confused. She was probably well protected by her family before the apocalypse. She didn't suffer much after the apocalypse, and she didn't feel that people were unpredictable. That's why she was so reckless and naive. Seeing Xu Zhiwen speak out, it can also be seen from this that the gathering place may be really good.
At least it's not bad for the father and daughter.
"What's wrong? Can't you go back with us?" The girl's innocent voice sounded. Xu Zhi thought for a moment. If possible, she wanted to talk to the extraordinary people in this gathering place, so she might as well "tell the truth." Tell the truth”.
"Because this is just a clone of my extraordinary ability. I can only hold on for a while. I can't walk with you to the gathering place." The reason why
Xu Zhihui is so "frank" is that she needs to be with this gathering place. If you can randomly come here again in the future, you may be able to enter the gathering place and chat with the responsible extraordinary person. The second nature is that she did not tell the truth at all. She was honest, but not completely honest.
It would be best to make people misjudge that her extraordinary ability is her clone. This misjudgment does no harm to Xu Zhi. Is it okay to guard against her clone?
That's just wasted effort.
What's more, by saying this, you also name your identity as a transcendent, which can allow you to get into the other person's sight more quickly, and what you say will be taken more seriously next time you meet.
Thinking like this, Xu Zhi asked directly: "What is this place called? Where are the places nearby?"
Yan Songlin was stunned for a moment, hesitated for less than ten seconds, and then answered: "This is the Nanshan Villa Area, nearby There are Nanshan Subway Station, Chongming Primary School and Ganming Golf Course."
Oh, when Xu Zhi heard the name, he knew that this was a "rich area."
Xu Zhi knew the nearby buildings so that he could find them quickly if he randomly fell nearby.
Yan Songlin was a little confused. Would the locals in Yuncheng not know about the Nanshan Villa Area?
This should be the most famous place in Yuncheng. It is so famous that some outsiders have heard about it. The girl in front of me doesn't know. Isn't she a local?
After hesitating for a while, he decided to give it. First, Xu Zhi didn't ask about the location of the gathering place. The Nanshan villa area is very big. It takes a long time to drive around on weekdays. What's more, now, he has to find a hidden gathering place. It is not an easy task, and secondly, he trusts his companions enough.
There are many extraordinary people among them. Even if the other party is not kind, Yan Songlin is confident that he can deal with it.
Furthermore, he believed in "that person". If something was wrong with Xu Zhi, she would be able to tell immediately.
When Xu Zhi saw the other party on the road, he took the initiative and said, "My surname is Xu. Next time we meet, you can take me to the gathering place and we can exchange information." "I'm quite curious about the person you said can judge whether your companions are safe
. "
Xu Zhi said this with a smile. Yan Songlin seemed to agree calmly, but in fact, he was muttering in his heart that this girl with a plain appearance and only beautiful and prominent eyes was a little strange.
He couldn't figure out what she was thinking, and seemed to be very wary. He would suddenly reveal that he was a transcendent, and his ability was a clone. Now he made no secret of his curiosity about the core people in the gathering place, and he was not afraid that this curiosity would attract the attention of others. Alert?
She didn't know that this was the Nanshan Villa Area, which was enough to show that she was definitely not from here or nearby, so how did she get here?
You know, anyone who stays outside before 5 o'clock will not show up again, and it's only less than 5:30 now!
A mysterious girl suddenly appeared from the fog, which undoubtedly made Yan Songlin and Yan Rui feel wary but curious.
