$20. A unique chicken
After a lot of simulation experiments, Su Wu finally triggered this talent.
And when the electronic sound sounded, he was sure that the girl would obey his "instructions" and come to the car.
He quickly filled the console with rows of candles.
Just waiting to light them.
In front, under the light of the car lights, the girl, who was stunned for a moment, held her "emergency can" and walked towards the co-pilot seat of the car.
The girl opened the car door and sat in the co-pilot seat, only to find that the man next to her was squatting on the console with perseverance and concentration.
The first candle on the left was burning orange, and under the reflection of the flame, she slowly felt a sense of security in her heart.
"You..." She was about to ask Su Wu what he was doing.
Su Wu interrupted her and said, "Don't talk yet!"
His cold words scared the girl to curl up.
At this time, blood-red lanterns slowly rose from behind the buildings on both sides of the street. They slowly turned in the sky, reflecting the dark blue night sky into crimson.
The lanterns formed a long river in the sky, and the crimson light sprinkled on the streets.
Such a scene was so beautiful that it made people feel like they were in a dream.
While Su Wu was in this dream, he felt a chill from his tailbone, and then spread all the way to the top of his head!
He held his breath.
The woman in the co-pilot secretly looked at Su Wu's profile, and saw the solemn and persistent expression on Su Wu's face with fine sweat, and she couldn't help but get nervous, and she didn't even dare to breathe.
The woman had witnessed the death of many people around her.
She saw their heads flying and drifting away.
But these people's heads had never turned into red lanterns in front of her eyes, so it was difficult for her to connect the lanterns in the sky with the heads of the dead.
Or, she subconsciously prevented herself from making such an association.
Red light poured into the car window and sprinkled on the shoulders of the two people in the car.
Su Wu stared at the red candle squatting on the control panel without blinking. The red candle burned faintly, without any signs of intensifying the burning.
Seeing this scene, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason why the candle did not burn faster was because of the big rooster in the arms of the woman next to him!
The big rooster itself has the ability to shield or resist the eye ghost from selecting people around it and killing them.
The flames in the small temple also have similar abilities.
When the two are superimposed, the former takes effect and the latter will not be consumed separately.
At present, it is safer to stay within three steps around the big rooster. Beyond this distance, it will still be selected by the eye ghost.
Just like last time, the girl retreated seven or eight steps back because she was afraid of herself. As soon as the lantern rose to the sky, she took off her head immediately.
Do all big roosters have this ability?
Or is only the rooster in the girl's arms different?
While Su Wu was thinking, he did not forget to start the car and drive forward.
The car slowly accelerated, he slowed down his tone, and explained to the girl next to him: "You came from somewhere else, you should have seen someone's head flying away like a balloon in front of you?"
"...Yes." The memories were very unbearable for the girl.
But facing Su Wu's question, she still plucked up the courage, recalled what she had seen and heard before, her eyes were slightly red, and there was a hint of crying in her voice: "I don't know what happened, tonight there were suddenly many red lanterns in the sky, I was still telling my mother how beautiful it was...
Then my father, who was cooking in the kitchen, suddenly fell silent, his head floated over from the kitchen, and called my mother..."
As she spoke, the girl burst into tears.
Su Wu drove the car very fast, set the destination on the mobile phone navigation to a small bus station in the suburbs of Mingzhou, and drove along the route given by the navigation.
He listened to what the girl said, thinking that all this would inevitably happen in reality, and thinking of the voices and smiles of his parents, he suddenly felt a little sad.
"My condolences."
After a long time, he sighed and comforted her.
The girl had stopped crying, wiped her tears, and said nothing more.
"These red lanterns in the sky are the heads of the dead. Wherever there are lanterns, there will be people who die." Su Wu took the initiative to bring up the topic, "Those who have just died will ask for help from the people around them.
Then the people around them will die one after another as if they were infected."
In fact, Su Wu didn't need to explain too much to the people in the simulation.
But perhaps because this girl was the first living person he met in the simulated future, he said a few more words.
Even in the future reality, he still needs help from others.
The big rooster is the girl's pet.
"But, I..." The girl reacted quickly. When she heard Su Wu's words, she instinctively thought of herself.
The death of her parents was indeed as the man said.
But how to explain that he didn't die with her?
"Your big rooster looks pretty... strong. Where did you buy it?" Su Wu changed the subject.
He wanted to say that the chicken looked plump at first, but he felt that it was not respectful enough, so he changed to the word strong to describe the big rooster.
The 'emergency can' has bright feathers, a red comb, and sharp eyes. It is indeed well raised.
The girl hugged the big rooster in her arms and whispered: "It was sent by a grandfather in the countryside. He said it was the only chicken hatched from a pheasant and a hen at home.
The others did not hatch and died. "
"There is reproductive isolation between pheasants and domestic chickens, right? This..." Su Wu stopped mid-sentence.
Weird things are beginning to revive. What does reproductive isolation mean?
What's more, he doesn't understand this aspect, so it's better not to jump to conclusions.
Just make sure the ‘emergency can’ is a big, distinctive rooster.
"Domestic chickens and pheasants can still go together..." The girl bit her lip, not sure about this matter.
"Ignore that for now."
Su Wu shook his head and drove onto the viaduct: "The reason why you were able to escape was because you didn't have your head removed along with the people around you.
It does have a lot to do with the big cock in your arms.
It protects you.
Now it protects me too. "
The girl looked down at Su Wu's big cock in her arms. Her eyes suddenly turned red again, and she murmured to herself: "Is it like this? Is it like this..."
I don’t know what sad things she thought of again.
The car drove over the viaduct and entered the neon-filled city.
The red lantern rose several times after that, but never caused harm to Su Wu and the woman.
The candle on the console gradually burned out more than half.
During the intermittent conversation with the woman, Su Wu learned her name - Jiang Yingying.
The buildings on both sides of the street began to become low and sparse. The originally wide street in front was completely blocked by a pile of cars that collided with each other, and the pile was as high as a mountain.
The street lights illuminated the pile of steel ruins, and the dim yellow light flashed slightly.
