Chapter 61 Weird!
Feeling the terrifying aura leaked by Wang Ping, everyone's reactions varied, some were shocked, some were stunned, and some were stunned.
"Wang Ping, your cultivation..." Cai Yonglong looked at Wang Ping in disbelief, his body trembling slightly.
Because he and Wang Ping are the only ones here who come from the same world, he feels the deepest and can roughly guess what level Wang Ping's cultivation is at.
That is the Lingyuan Realm, and it is not an ordinary Lingyuan Realm, but a cultivation level of at least the seventh level of the Lingyuan Realm.
Because he had once seen an elder of the sect take action, but the aura he displayed was not as solid and powerful as Wang Ping's.
The elder’s cultivation level is the sixth level of Lingyuan Realm.
Compared to Cai Yonglong's shock, others just felt that Wang Ping was very strong, extremely strong, so strong that it made them tremble, but they didn't know what level of cultivation Wang Ping had.
"Great perfection of Lingyuan Realm." Wang Ping said these five words calmly.
For a moment, Cai Yonglong's pupils contracted and he took a breath of cold air.
The others also looked at each other, unable to calm down.
After all, through the chats in the chat group, they also knew the cultivation level of the fantasy world where Cai Yonglong and Wang Ping were.
Body tempering, acquired, innate, spiritual essence, extraordinary.
If one reaches the Great Perfection of Lingyuan Realm, then that means one is almost at the level of transcendence. It is so terrifying.
"Wang Ping, you are really good at hiding things." Cai Yonglong looked at Wang Ping deeply and spoke slowly.
"Same here. Brother Cai, you have been hiding a lot of things." Wang Ping looked at Cai Yonglong and spoke with a smile.
Seeing that Wang Ping was still willing to call him Brother Cai, Cai Yonglong felt particularly delicate and looked at Wang Ping with a complicated expression.
The other party is obviously not a person like Blue Silver Grass. With his powerful strength, he does not take others seriously.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so strong, Brother Wang." Zhang Hu's eyes lit up, and he came over, took out a bottle of drink and handed it to Wang Ping, saying with a smile: "This is a magic potion unique to our world. It can restore mental strength. You must have consumed a lot just now. Maybe you can use this."
"Yeah." Wang Ping glanced at the smile that Zhang Hu, the rough guy, forced out, nodded, took the potion, and said nothing more.
Although he no longer had a good impression of Zhang Hu, potions, a product from the world of swords and magic, were still worth studying.
"Brother Wang, this time it all depends on you." Zhang Jun also came over, with a respectful look on his face, as if he was respecting Wang Ping.
Fang Yun looked at Wang Ping, then at Cai Yonglong who had a complicated expression, sighed, patted Cai Yonglong on the shoulder, and said nothing more.
Wu Jun still kept his head down and said nothing, as if he was autistic.
Liu Mei opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, and in the end could only smile bitterly.
No one asked Wang Ping about his golden finger.
Although, they guessed that Wang Ping's golden finger was definitely more than just a prediction of the future, otherwise it would not have allowed Wang Ping to become so strong in such a short period of time.
However, Wang Ping is the strongest now and is the hope for completing the task. Everyone is not so ignorant and afraid of offending Wang Ping.
Chen Yao's eyes flickered as she stared at Wang Ping and asked, "Wang Ping, you said the whole group was wiped out. Does that mean you died too?"
"Yeah." Wang Ping looked at Chen Yao with admiration and nodded.
This girl was the only one present whose personality remained the same. Although she was shocked by his strength, her attitude towards him remained the same as before.
"After you died, I left this city and went to live in seclusion in a rural area. However, on the 160th day, I was suddenly surrounded by a terrifying zombie tide. The zombies in the zombie tide were extremely terrifying. The post-natal realm zombies were no match for dogs, and the innate realm zombies were everywhere, even the spiritual realm zombies were not in the minority. Then, I was drowned by the zombie tide and died of exhaustion."
After a pause, Wang Ping's face was solemn and he spoke again.
"Before I died, I saw a strange tentacle emerge from the ground and pierce through my body. I suspect that was the target of our mission this time."
Hearing this, everyone was cheered up. Even Wu Jun couldn't help but raise his head and look at Wang Ping.
As for the future foreseen, although the whole group was wiped out, at least there were clues, which was a good thing.
I am afraid of dying in vain and still not having any clues. That would be the real despair.
"Wang Ping, based on your description, the existence behind this tentacle may indeed be our target, but it may also be a tide of corpses controlled by some kind of intelligent zombie." Cai Yonglong also calmed down and said in a deep voice.
"Whether it is or not, we have to kill it, don't we?" Fang Yun shook his head and interrupted.
"However, this guy appeared on the 160th day, and at that time he was already able to control such a terrifying zombie tide. How can we deal with him?" Zhang Hu frowned, looking grim. "And this guy is definitely not weak either."
"Compared to this, I think we should consider how to solve the problem of strange infection. After all, I don't want Sister Liu and Wu Jun to become zombies."
Wang Ping glanced at Wu Jun and Liu Mei and spoke slowly.
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
Wang Ping mentioned Liu Mei and Wu Jun alone, without mentioning everyone else. This was obviously a reminder to them that he did not want to abandon Wu Jun and Liu Mei, and they should not have any bad ideas.
This behavior made Zhang Hu very upset.
He knew that his previous shouting had caused trouble, and Wang Ping was trying to warn him.
Liu Mei and Wu Jun looked at Wang Ping with gratitude.
"I have never thought of abandoning my companions." Cai Yonglong was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Rather than this, we should think about how to solve the problem of the strange infection. Only in this way can Wang Ping continue to use his abilities. Otherwise, it will waste precious times."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone frowned and fell into deep thought.
Wang Ping also fell into deep thought, analyzing the contents of the simulation, not wanting to miss any details.
"I have a question."
At this time, Chen Yao glanced at everyone and spoke slowly in a cold voice.
"What's the question?" Everyone looked over.
"Why didn't you get infected when you went out hunting for a whole day, but got infected two hours after you came back? Is it really a problem with the house?"
Chen Yao looked deep in the eyes and spoke slowly.
"If there really is a problem, since this is Zhang Jun's temporary base, he should have been infected long ago."
When these words were spoken, everyone felt awe-inspiring.
Yes, they were worried about the housing problem before and wanted to find a new base.
Now it seems that is not entirely true.
"I have a guess."
Wang Ping looked at Chen Yao and smiled slightly.
"What a coincidence. I have a guess too." Chen Yao and Wang Ping looked at each other, blinked, and rarely showed a playful chuckle, which was no longer as cold as before and made people's heart beat fast.
"You speak first?" Wang Ping made a gesture of invitation.
"Okay." Chen Yao nodded.
The conversation between the two made the others look expectant, hoping to find a breakthrough.
"According to my analysis, the ability controlled by that weird zombie should be that when an even number of humans gather together for a long period of time, they can be infected."
Chen Yao's eyes flashed with wisdom and she spoke slowly.
"When Zhang Jun was acting alone, he was not infected. When you were acting separately, you were in groups of three and were not infected. But Sister Liu and Wu Jun were infected because they were in a group of two, an even number. After you came back and rested in this room, the number of people became an even number again, so you were infected two hours later."
"!!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, except for Wang Ping who smiled and looked at Chen Yao with admiration, everyone else showed expressions of surprise or sudden enlightenment.
"Indeed, if we analyze it this way, then it can explain the strange infection."
"Besides that, it can also explain why all the people in this world disappeared. Who can withstand the ability of the rule system? Even if you survive the initial infection, as long as you don't associate it with this ability, something will happen, or you will be bitten to death by the infected."
"Rule-based abilities are really disgusting."
Everyone was excited, apprehensive, and filled with fear.
The zombie virus is terrifying in itself, and it is mixed with the strange abilities of the rule system. It is very terrifying. How can ordinary people survive?
"There is one more thing." Wang Ping pondered for a moment and said, "His strange ability is not to turn people into zombies directly, but when an even number of humans gather together, the virus will quietly enter their bodies and infect them. Otherwise, even if I have a physique that is immune to all poisons, I can't withstand the rule-based ability."
"I thought so too." Chen Yao blinked at Wang Ping.
"Now that we know his abilities, the next step will be easy." Fang Yun said excitedly: "We just need to work in groups."
"But there are eight of us, an even number, and it's hard to divide the people evenly."
Zhang Hu glanced at Liu Mei and Wu Jun and shrugged.
"I'll stay here alone and won't bother anyone." Wu Jun spoke, sounding a little depressed.
"That's not necessary." Wang Ping frowned slightly and said.
"No need for that. I'm just a burden and can't help much. It's better for me to stay here. That would be too much trouble."
Wu Jun looked at Wang Ping gratefully and spoke again.
"Since Xiao Junzi has said so, let him do it." Zhang Hu said quickly. "It will be easier for seven people to act."
"We can move in groups of three or five." Wang Ping looked at him coldly and said calmly.
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Hu was choked and smiled bitterly.
"I agree with Wang Ping's idea." Cai Yonglong expressed his opinion.
Seeing this, the others also expressed their opinions.
"I just think it's safer for those who can't fight to stay here. Otherwise, if we encounter a zombie tide, we may not be able to take care of Xiao Junzi when we fight. If he gets bit, it will be troublesome. I really don't have any other ideas." Zhang Hu said with a wry smile. "But since everyone said so, we must be together."
"It's too early to say that." Wang Ping ignored Zhang Hu's words and said, "Next, we have to continue to avoid danger and find a safe route through the customs. Otherwise, life and death are still unpredictable."
"Yeah." Chen Yao nodded and said solemnly, "And the even number just now is just our guess, it may not be correct. Even if it is correct, it may have missed something."
Wang Ping nodded and then closed his eyes. The meaning was very clear: he would continue to use his ability.
"Zhang Hu, Fang Yun, Zhang Jun, we are still unsure of the current situation. To prevent any accidents, please go to other rooms to rest. The farther away, the better. In that case, it will be equivalent to two odd numbers."
Seeing this, Cai Yonglong said seriously.
Although he wanted Zhang Hu to go out alone, it seemed like he was expelling Zhang Hu, so he called the other two.
"No problem." The three nodded, left the room without saying anything more.
At this time , Wang Ping also said in his heart: "System, I want to conduct a new free simulation."
"Ding, free simulation is enabled, the host has two free simulations left."
As the system's voice sounded, familiar images and texts appeared in front of Wang Ping's eyes again.
[On the first day, you were divided into groups and conducted experiments. Finally, after two hours, no accidents happened to you and no one was infected. This news made you all very excited and you thought that your previous guess was correct.]
[On the second day, you still had no accidents, and you finally breathed a sigh of relief. Next, you continued to analyze the possible locations of the strange zombie. Chen Yao believed that he was likely hiding underground. Moreover, after you flew away in the future predicted before, you were attacked on the 160th day. It is possible that the mastermind saw your whereabouts when you left and followed you underground.]
[In other words, the monster behind the scenes felt your strength at first, so he didn't act rashly. Later, he gathered enough combat power to take action, just to devour the flesh and blood of a powerful monk like you.]
[Therefore, you must not expose yourself to him from now on. You have to let others lure him out of his hole.]
[Chen Yao's analysis makes sense. You think it is necessary to conduct an experiment. Otherwise, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Therefore, you took action. Chen Yao, Cai Yonglong, Fang Yun, Zhang Hu, and Zhang Jun went out hunting to see if they could lure him out.]
[On the third day, there was no success, but you were still calm.]
[On the eighteenth day, there was still no effect, and you gradually became anxious. Because you knew that the zombies mutated very quickly, and if things continued like this, you would probably not be able to defeat them. In fact, at this point in time, the number of mutated zombies with acquired combat power began to increase, posing a great threat to the three people other than Cai Yonglong and Chen Yao.]
[On the twentieth day, there was still no result. The atmosphere became more and more depressing. Everyone, including you, became more and more anxious.]
[On the 21st day, Cai Yonglong couldn't stand it anymore and hoped that you would join him in destroying the city completely instead of saving your strength. You were very calm and chose to refuse, planning to wait and see.]
[Seeing you refuse, Cai Yonglong left alone and began to use powerful martial arts to bombard the city. With his strength, it only takes a little more time to raze the city to the ground. As for the consumption, it can be restored by spiritual stones. ]
[The power displayed by Cai Yonglong shocked everyone except you. The whole city seemed to be shaken by an earthquake.]
[However, because of the commotion caused by Cai Yonglong, the zombies in the city began to be attracted over there, forming a terrifying zombie tide. Cai Yonglong had no choice but to flee and did not dare to stay where he was.]
【During this process, he was attacked. Countless tentacles emerged from the ground and submerged Cai Yonglong. Cai Yonglong struggled hard, but it was useless. In response, Cai Yonglong anxiously contacted you with a sound transmission note, saying that the monster behind the scenes appeared and hoped that you would come and kill it.】
[You received the message and flew over directly, watching this scene from the sky. You rescued Cai Yonglong, then used the sword control technique to attack the monster, tearing up the ground, forming a terrifying gully, and injuring it.]
[The tentacle monster angrily counterattacked, but you easily cut it off and continued to injure it. In response, the tentacle monster was very angry and activated its ability. Cai Yonglong was directly infected and turned into a zombie, attacking you. In response, you were extremely terrified and killed Cai Yonglong. At the same time, you also realized that this was your goal. ]
[The strange zombie saw how powerful you were and immediately fled from underground. You were anxious and used your sword intent to launch your strongest attack, but you still failed to kill it, only severely injuring it.]
[In the end, you failed to kill it, and returned to the temporary base with a heavy heart. When everyone knew that Cai Yonglong was dead and you failed to kill the strange monster, you were frightened and surprised. You were frightened that the horror of the strange zombie could shorten the infection time in even cases and infect Cai Yonglong; you were also surprised that you finally got some clues, and your mood was extremely complicated. ]
[Next, you all start discussing countermeasures again, and your hearts become heavy again. You all know very well that the weird zombie has amazing intelligence. If it is injured, it will not easily appear again. It will grow secretly and then attack strongly. But you don’t have a good way to deal with it now. ]
[You feel particularly uncomfortable about this. If you have the blood demon tracking technique of the Li family, you may be able to track its location through its blood. Although the weird zombies are not spirits, they are stronger than ordinary creatures, and they are huge in size and have a lot of blood. ]
[Unfortunately, there is no if, you can only discuss countermeasures. In the end, it was still fruitless. Chen Yao suggested that we should not find a place to hide, that would only repeat the same mistakes, we should take the initiative to attack, and hunt zombies crazily to become stronger.]
[You agree with Chen Yao's words and start to actively hunt, wanting to improve everyone's strength and wait until the weird zombies appear again.]
[On the 31st day, through the crystal, your physical strength has become much stronger. However, you also discovered a problem. Although this crystal can improve physical strength, it will make your body, which has been cleansed, become dirty again. You need to meditate to expel impurities, and you cannot take it for a long time. However, under the current circumstances, you have no choice but to use it.]
[On the 32nd day, at around 4 a.m., in your dream, everyone except you was suddenly infected and turned into zombies. They rushed towards you. You were terrified and killed them all.]
[After getting rid of everyone, you feel extremely heavy-hearted. You can't understand why it turned out like this. There are obviously seven people, not an even number, but everyone is infected.]
[In the end, you still didn't get the answer, and you could only hold on to hunting zombies with a heavy heart, trying to improve your strength even a little bit.]
[On the 200th day, the strange zombies appeared again, leading a terrifying zombie tide to besiege you. You fought hard, trying to break out of the siege. Because your physical strength has become astonishingly strong this time, the zombie tide can't stop you. You almost succeeded in breaking through and flew away on a sword.]
[However, the weird zombie took action, erupting with terrifying power, and killed you in mid-air.]
[Because of your death, this simulation ends. ]
…
“…”
Wang Ping looked at the simulation content, frowned, and remained silent for a long time.
In this simulation, although it was confirmed that the strange zombies did exist in the city, they ultimately ended up being completely wiped out.
"how's it going?"
Seeing Wang Ping's expression so heavy again, Cai Yonglong and others felt a little uneasy.
"It's not as bad as you think. Call Fang Yun and the others back." Wang Ping let out a breath and spoke slowly.
After hearing Wang Ping say this, Cai Yonglong and others breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, Fang Yun and the other two were called back.
Wang Ping also explained the contents of the simulation in detail.
"Again, everyone is wiped out... But, we did get a lot of intelligence this time, so it's something to be happy about."
Fang Yun said with a complicated expression.
This group of tasks is simply too outrageous.
If Wang Ping wasn't here, no matter how many lives we had, we wouldn't be able to fill the gap.
"According to the intelligence, we have a chance to kill the weird zombie. All we need to do is have Brother Cai make a scene in the city to lure him out. As for avoiding infection, Wang Ping can take me or someone else with him to form an odd number, so we can avoid the problem of infection."
Chen Yao had a serious expression and a cold voice.
"Although it's dangerous, I can do it." Cai Yonglong was silent for a moment and then spoke.
In the future that Wang Ping saw, he was dead.
But there is no other way. If we don’t lure the snake out of its hole, we really cannot complete the mission.
"But, in the end, Odd was also suddenly infected."
Zhang Jun looked very unhappy.
Although he had hope of completing the task, Zhang Jun still couldn't be happy.
Even if he completed the group mission, he couldn't leave this world.
According to Wang Ping's description, the zombies evolved at such a fast speed that it made people's scalps numb, and there were no living people. His future situation was still very dangerous.
Moreover, without any living people, I can only vent through the chat group, otherwise I will definitely go crazy.
Zhang Jun's words made everyone silent, and their faces looked a little ugly.
An odd number of people are infected, which is indeed weird.
"There must be something wrong." Chen Yao muttered to herself. "Could it be that his ability changes? For example, odd numbers in January and even numbers in February."
"Impossible." Wang Ping shook his head. "If that were the case, Zhang Jun would have died long ago. After all, he has been in this world for more than a month."
"That's right..." Chen Yao frowned and fell into deep thought.
Everyone's faces were distorted, they couldn't understand what was going on and they felt panicked.
If they couldn't figure out the answer to this question, they would still feel uncertain even if they had hope of killing the strange zombies.
"I have a guess..." At this time, Wu Jun, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke, his voice a little timid.
This also made everyone look at him.
"Don't be nervous. If you have any ideas, just say it directly. Everyone can express their own opinions." Wang Ping comforted Wu Jun when he saw that he was very nervous and timid.
