Chapter 35 Chen Ping Returns to the Team
The wide football field was overgrown with weeds.
The fences around it had collapsed.
The broken seats on the stands were rusty.
A heavy armored vehicle was quietly parked in the center of the football field.
"No level 2 scarlet beasts were found!"
"I didn't find any scarlet beasts above level 2 either!"
The team members responded from Ma Zi's bracelet.
"Duan Zixuan, Ye Shengge is responsible for vigilance, and the rest of the people will gather at the armored vehicle location!"
A month ago, Ma Zi led the team to search this area, and before setting off this time, Ma Zi had made a schedule.
There were three rest areas in the first half, and the second half was close to the Lin family's sphere of influence. Ma Zi had never been there and had not reserved a resting place, so there would be no rest in the second half.
"Captain, where is Brother Dong? He's not going?" Su Xixi looked at Ma Zi cautiously.
"He has to deal with some things and will meet up with us later!" Ma Zi explained.
"When will Brother Dong come back?" Su Xixi asked.
Ma Zi frowned and shook his head.
"He... is back!"
Xue Na turned her head to the southwest and threw a piece of hard beef jerky into her mouth.
"Where is it?" Su Xixi looked over curiously and found nothing.
"Report to the captain, a motorcycle appeared in the southwest, it may be a surviving human... it's Dong Ge!" Duan Zixuan reported to Ma Zi through the bracelet.
"Got it!" Ma Zi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Shan: "Bring out more food!"
The battle with the scarlet beast was very exhausting.
Although Ma Zi didn't know how many scarlet beasts Chen Ping had killed, he felt that the number of scarlet beasts in that school was by no means a small number, and the level would not be only one level.
Li Shan had just taken the food out of the armored vehicle when a black heavy motorcycle drove into the football field and stopped in front of the armored vehicle.
"Have you dealt with it all?" Ma Zi asked casually.
"Yeah!" Chen Ping nodded, with no joy or sadness on his face, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a gain or a loss.
Since he appeared, Xue Na's eyes have been on Chen Ping, without moving away.
Xue Na has never stared at a man for such a long time.
Before the Scarlet Doomsday, she was the school beauty of Binhai University, and even the academic master of Binhai University.
None of those who flocked to pursue her could catch her eye.
After the Scarlet Doomsday, she was the captain of the hunting team of the Dawn Camp, and her combat ability was ranked in the top five in the second-level camp.
There are countless people who admire and favor her.
The only person who can be slightly better than her is perhaps Lin Ruoyun of the Lin family.
And people like her don't seem to be taken seriously by Chen Ping at all.
More importantly, Xue Na knows that Chen Ping's strength is far from being as simple as it seems.
This completely unfathomable person makes Xue Na feel very dangerous.
Taking the beef jerky handed by Li Shan, Chen Ping walked to an open space not far away, sat on the ground, and ate it by himself.
"Brother Dong, did you kill the scarlet beast just now?" Su Xixi came close to Chen Ping.
"Killed a few!" Chen Ping answered casually.
"Did you explode the scarlet turntable? If there is a primary potion in the turntable, I can exchange it with you!" Su Xixi said hurriedly.
"Do you still have a primary life potion?" Chen Ping turned his head and looked at Su Xixi.
"Uh... that one is gone, but I can exchange it with you for something more precious to me!" Su Xixi said, nodding slightly, with a blush on her face.
"Not interested!" Chen Ping directly rejected Su Xixi.
Now that there are dangers everywhere and he is still worried about his lack of life, Chen Ping does not have so much "leisure".
"Take a look first!" Su Xixi said, taking out a piece of black "iron sheet" from her pocket.
"The scales of the two-headed black snake?" Chen Ping's pupils shrank suddenly, and he almost took out his black knife.
"Brother Dong also knows about the two-headed black snake? He must know the value of this snake scale!"
"Can we exchange?" Su Xixi continued to ask.
Chen Ping tried his best to control his emotions.
Before he was reborn, he had seen the two-headed black snake in the A-level scarlet secret realm, and the level of this two-headed black snake had reached level four.
At that time, Chen Ping was still barely able to deal with it.
Moreover, only the lord-level two-headed black snake can grow this kind of snake scale.
It is one of the materials for making high-level attribute pills. Even if it is not made into pills, it can greatly improve the defense and agility attributes when taken alone.
Even before Chen Ping was reborn, at his peak, he might not be able to kill a lord-level two-headed black snake.
How did Su Xixi get it?
Draw the scarlet turntable? That can only appear in the red or purple scarlet turntable.
"Where did you get it?"
"This... I can't say!" Su Xixi shook her head.
Looking at the innocent Su Xixi, Chen Ping broke out in a cold sweat. He had already planned to flee immediately.
But he couldn't bear to part with the scales of the two-headed black snake. After all, this thing was truly priceless.
An hour ago, Chen Ping killed the mutant wind wolf, and his "potential awakening" talent was upgraded to level 2. More importantly, he obtained the blue scarlet turntable.
And one of the items in the turntable happened to be the key item to use this snake scale.
"What are you going to exchange it for?" Chen Ping asked in a low voice.
"One hundred carousels, of any quality, as long as there are primary potions on them, or you can directly exchange them for primary potions, five...eighty primary potions!" Su Qianqian hesitated.
"Fifty primary potions!" Chen Ping said directly.
"No, I'm so sorry!" Su Xixi shook her head repeatedly and swung up her two black ponytails.
"Then fifty-five!"
"Seventy-five!"
"sixty!"
"Deal!" Su Xixi nodded.
"Then when I collect them all, I'll give them to you together!"
Chen Ping is not in a hurry now. After all, even if he gets the snake scales, he won't be able to use them yet.
He wanted to know where Su Xixi got the snake scales from, and why she needed so many attribute potions, and they were all elementary.
Chen Ping looked at Su Qianqian warily, feeling that her danger level had exceeded the level three scarlet beast.
"Brother Dong, please rest first, I'm going to find Sister Xue Na!"
Su Xixi seemed to be in a good mood, turned around, walked to Xue Na and sat down.
"Brother Dong is a good man!"
Su Xixi said something for no reason.
"What's wrong?" Xue Na didn't understand.
"Well... this is a secret between the two of us, Sissi can't tell." Su Sissi shook her head.
Xue Na was a little speechless, but she was also used to it.
Anyway, few people who can live in this scarlet apocalypse are normal.
"Boss, the food left is only enough for one meal at night!"
Li Shan walked up to Mazi and whispered.
In the Scarlet Wilderness, the most important thing is to ensure that you have sufficient physical strength to be able to deal with the attacks launched by the Scarlet Beast at any time.
Usually, when the hunting team goes out for a day, they need to carry more than five days of food.
But this time, they only carried a day's worth of food.
For safety reasons, food intake cannot be reduced, otherwise the strength will not be fully unleashed when besieged by the scarlet beast.
"There is no need to save food, just arrive at the next scheduled rest point before dark. I put some food there half a month ago!" Mazi said in a deep voice.
"Boss, look far ahead!" Li Shan flattered him.
"Go away, pack up, and leave in five minutes!"
Soon, three motorcycles and armored vehicles started up one after another.
But before leaving the football field, he stopped again.
The crimson mist dispersed, and the sky became extremely gloomy, as if a huge lead curtain slowly lowered, blocking the sunlight.
There was an oppressive and uneasy atmosphere in the air. The wind blew gently at first, bringing a bit of coolness, but soon, the force began to accumulate and became no longer gentle.
On the distant horizon, a thin layer of gray clouds began to rotate, gradually accelerating, as if being pulled by an invisible force, forming a huge vortex.
The vortex was getting lower and lower, getting closer and closer to the ground, and its color also changed from gray to black, accompanied by a thunderous roar that echoed through the sky.
Immediately afterwards, a strong whirlwind rose from the ground and connected with the vortex in the sky, forming a huge, rotating funnel-shaped cloud column - a tornado.
"Get out of the car! Find cover!"
Mazi shouted at the top of his lungs.
The tornado seemed to be far away, but in just a blink of an eye, it rushed towards us.
"There is a basement in the football field, and the entrance is in the southwest!" Li Shan also shouted.
The members of the first team all walked through the mountain of corpses and the sea of corpses.
In the face of sudden changes, the reaction is much faster than ordinary people.
Everyone arrived at the southwest basement entrance one second before the "tornado" entered the football field area.
This place was previously blocked by collapsed walls, which had already been cleared when Asako and others came to search for the first time.
Li Shan rushed to the front, holding a big sword in his hand and waving it wildly to clear a passage. Su Qianqian held up a shield and stood behind the team to resist the debris flying in the sky.
Chen Ping was much faster than Li Shan, but he didn't know the situation in the basement, so he followed the team in the middle.
"Bang!"
As soon as everyone entered the basement, a cement wall hit the entrance of the cave.
"Are you all here?"
In the dark basement, unable to see anything clearly, Mazi asked in a calm voice.
"Duan Zixuan is here!"
"Li Shan is here!"
"Jiang Cheng is here!"
"..."
After everyone reported their names, Mazi felt a little relieved, and everyone retreated in time.
"Boss, the exit is blocked!"
After a while, Li Shan used the dim light on his bracelet to check the location of the cave entrance.
That cement wall is easy to solve, but there are still many heavy objects weighing on top of the cement wall.
"I remember there is another exit. Let's make some preparations here. When the tornado passes, we can split up and look for the exit!"
As for the problem of finding an exit, Mazi was not worried. With the strength of their team, they could forcefully open an exit.
At the moment, what worries Mazi the most is their vehicle.
If the armored vehicle is destroyed or carried away by a tornado, it will take at least two days of walking to return to the camp.
All areas along the road had been raided before, and everything edible was brought back to Ironwood Camp.
Half an hour later, it gradually became quiet outside, and Mazi and others began to look for an exit.
The nine people were divided into three groups.
Mazi and his generals Jiang Cheng and Jiang Xin were waiting at the entrance.
Chen Ping and Xue Na each took two people and explored separately.
"Captain, we found a downward passage, it should be... the second underground floor!" Chen Ping stood in front of a staircase and looked down. There were a lot of debris piled up at the corner.
"Second underground floor? We didn't find a second underground floor last time we came here!"
When Ma Zi led the team here last time, there were still many level one scarlet beasts around. For safety reasons, they just searched briefly, mainly looking for food and supplies.
For this empty basement, they didn't search it carefully.
"Captain, I'm going to go down and take a look!" Chen Ping reported.
"You can adapt to the actions of your team and make your own decisions!"
"But you must be careful and cautious, and safety is the priority!" Ma Zi reminded.
"Received!"
