Chapter 61 [3] Mutant Zombies
The sudden incident on the way of patrol naturally spread to Xie Moxuan's ears very quickly.
And the group of supernatural beings who experienced a short and fierce battle were also temporarily recalled to the settlement to ask about their specific situation.It has to be said that Xie Moxuan attached great importance to this incident, because it conveyed a signal, that is, groups of zombies began to gather near the settlement.
Previously, Xie Moxuan and others chose this place as a settlement and set up camp. The reason for their fancy is that this place was also a wilderness before the end of the world, and it was not a densely populated place. Therefore, after the end of the world, the number of zombies in this area is also very small , scattered scattered around, as long as they don't gather together, they are not enough to pose a threat.And people settled under the deep rift valley, which to a certain extent concealed the smell passed by humans in the wind.
Because of this, the settlement was designated as Rift Valley, and no stronger fortifications were built around it.
But now the situation has changed.
I used to think that zombies were not a concern, so the energy of the settlement should be concentrated on the development of the underground world, but now it turns out that based on some unknown opportunity, the scattered zombies gathered together, and the zombies that could be easily defeated in the past Gradually forming a force that cannot be underestimated.
Therefore, it is necessary to take part of the eyes of the settlement on the underground world and cast it on the group of zombies that cannot be ignored.
The rest of Mu Yanxing's patrol team dispersed. They were a little stimulated today and were allowed to rest in the settlement for a whole day.
But Mu Yanxing, Lin Ling, and Li Aier still stayed with Xie Moxuan - because these three were the only ones who found a distinctive zombie.
At Xie Moxuan's request, Mu Yanxing described the behavior of the strange zombie to him in simple but objective and precise words.After hearing this, Xie Moxuan fell into deep thought, and nodded to the three of them after a while, indicating that they could leave.
After getting away from Xie Moxuan, Lin Ling lowered his voice and said quickly, "Brother Mu, didn't you tell him that the zombie followed us for seven or eight days?"
Mu Yanxing said calmly: "This zombie came to the settlement after chasing us. If it really caused big trouble to the settlement, our position will be very embarrassing."
Lin Ling frowned: "Does it have to be blamed on us for the bad things it did?"
"What happened this time is obvious, without that zombie, the other zombies would not have gathered at all." Mu Yanxing said in a deep voice, "That zombie is the key to all the mutations, and it was brought here by us. "
"If the people in the inhabited area know that it is chasing us, then we are equivalent to the sinners in the inhabited area?—Is that what you mean?" Lin Ling twisted his fingers, tangled, and subconsciously moved his fingers It made a creepy arc in the back.
Mu Yanxing nodded.
"If it is really exposed, will they drive us out of the settlement?" Lin Ling continued to twist his fingers, and the deformed and twisted fingers made others tremble with fear.
Mu Yanxing hesitated for a moment: "...Probably not."
Lin Ling looked over strangely—why did he hesitate? !
Li Aier stepped on lazily, and added with rare kindness: "If the people in the settlement didn't find out that zombie's weird attachment to us, then they wouldn't drive us away."
"What if you find out?" Lin Ling was a little dizzy.
"Of course it is to drive us out of the settlement and distract that zombie's attention." Li Aier said leisurely.
Lin Ling didn't believe it: "It will give up hundreds of people in the settlement for the four of us?"
"Maybe it will. It won't make a difference if you try it in a settlement." Li Aier said slowly, "You think it's not other patrol teams that were attacked today, but our team. Is this just a coincidence?"
Lin Ling was dubious: "You mean, it is still coming for us today?"
Li Aier squinted at her, with a surprised expression: "Can you also guess this level?"
Lin Ling's eyes widened in astonishment: "It's just staring at us and won't let go?!"
Li Aier raised the corner of his lips imperceptibly: "So, if the colony knows about its attachment to us, then the colony will probably consider whether to abandon us."
Lin Ling immediately pursed her lips, and made a gesture of zipping the zipper around her mouth. She would never tell about the fact that they had known this zombie for a long time and that this zombie depended on them!
Mu Yanxing looked at Li Aier helplessly, why did he start fooling Lin Ling again?The same is true for Lin Ling, who has been cheated so many times and doesn't have a long memory.
The reason why he hesitated before was because people's hearts are complicated in the last days. If the people in the settlement know that the crisis is caused by them, then the fear and panic of these people may be vented on the four of them.
In the face of fear and despair, human beings are always good at venting anger.
As for whether that zombie is really keeping an eye on them... Mu Yanxing frowned, why did he suddenly feel that what Li Aier said made sense?Is this today a coincidence?
Analyzing all kinds of possibilities in a roundabout way caused a headache, Mu Yanxing waved his hands at the two of them: "Go ahead, whatever you want to do, I'll go and find Xia Fei." He felt that he seemed to have developed an attitude toward that person Dependency, but that doesn't repel him.
Lin Ling turned his head and thought for a while: "I'm going to find Nan Xue and Lan Peipei. The settlement is still too unfamiliar. Talking to them will make you more familiar."
"Aren't they going underground today?" Li Aier thought for a while, "Are they taking care of Zhang Heshan?"
Lin Ling nodded: "Nan Xue is. But Lan Peipei has a special status, she seems to be the earliest group of people in the settlement. She doesn't need to go underground, she is the one who assists Fatty Bai in dealing with matters in the settlement."
"I'll take a look too." Li Al interjected.
Lan Peipei was the reporter Ji Xiong rescued on the day of the rainstorm. Mu Yanxing heard Xia Fei say it.His voice was calm: "You guys go. And Lin Ling, don't arrange other things this afternoon. The settlement arranges someone to teach you fighting skills."
Lin Ling blinked and blinked: "Brother Mu, you can teach me."
Mu Yanxing shook his head, his eyes darkened: "My boxing skills are all ignorant when I was young, and I fumbled with others in the dark alleys. I don't have any routines, so I can't teach others." He paused, "Afternoon The person who wants to teach you is the real enemy-fighting skills in the army, so you have to study hard."
Lin Ling nodded obediently, looked at the tall back of Mu Yanxing who turned away, and waited for the person to walk away, then turned to look at Li Aier with his face in his hands, his eyes were shining: "Who was Brother Mu before? Why did I rush Do feet worship him more?!"
Li Aier rolled his eyes leisurely: "I also fought in the dark alley, do you want to worship me?"
Lin Ling sneered: "You and Brother Mu are definitely not at the same level in terms of the scale of fighting!"
Li Aier shrugged and walked towards Zhang Heshan's tent with long legs: "Do you know why Xia Fei always teases you?"
Lin Ling trotted to catch up, but really wanted to know the reason: "Why?"
There was a gloating smile on the pale face of the young man. He was so bad that he was extremely handsome. He said unceremoniously and meanly: "You are too an eyesore."
"!" Lin Ling heard the sound of his diamond heart shattering to the ground—do you want to speak so directly? ! ... Believe me, it's strange!
Mu Yanxing met Xia Fei outside the old lunatic's stone house, and it was obvious that Xia Fei was waiting for him there.
"Have you heard the news?" Mu Yan walked over.
Xia Fei pulled the man, carefully inspected it from top to bottom, and then nodded in satisfaction: "No injury."
Mu Yanxing slapped away his hand touching his waist in a funny way: "If I was really injured, I wouldn't be standing here now." There is only one way out for people infected by zombies, right?
Xia Fei nodded seriously: "That's true."
There is nothing wrong with seriously doing bad things to this person, so Mu Yanxing can only change the subject with a blank face: "What do you think of what happened today?"
Xia Fei bent his eyes slyly: "I knew that Yan Xing would come to ask me. I'll tell you after I kiss you." He licked his lips, and coated his lips with a layer of moist water color, which made the brightly colored lips a little more Color separation gas sensational taste.
Looking at the handsome man exuding a seductive invitation all the time, Mu Yanxing looked away in embarrassment - Xia Fei opened a net a long time ago calmly, and now the net is slowly closing , he stood in the center of the net, his range of activities became smaller and smaller, and he gradually had no way to escape.
Feeling the sudden intensified heartbeat, Mu Yanxing's eyes were soft, and he didn't want to run away.
——It’s just that there are some things, just thinking about them makes me feel ashamed. Mu Yanxing is not sure whether Xia Fei will find sexual interest in the face of his stiff body.
The air between the two was gradually heating up, it was so hot and dry that it seemed that sparks could be rubbed out by breathing.
And the old hoarse shout suddenly sounded in the stone house: "Xia Fei, you lazy bastard! How much longer are you going to be lazy outside!" As the people in the settlement said, the little old man's temper was indeed not very good when he was researching.
Mu Yanxing couldn't hold back, and laughed in a low voice: "Lazy?"
The atmosphere was completely destroyed, Xia Fei had a depressed expression on his face, and replied loudly: "Five more minutes!" Then he looked at Mu Yanxing with water-colored eyes, with an extremely aggrieved look: " I suddenly regretted joining the study."
He said: "When the geese were in danger, I didn't know at all in the stone house. When I heard the news just now, although I was quite sure that you were all right, I still broke out in a cold sweat-this kind of mood, Yan Xing understands, right?"
Mu Yanxing's heart warmed, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to express his mildly warm and joyful mood at the moment, and he didn't know how to respond to Xia Fei's worries. After a long silence, he said cautiously. : "I won't let the three of us have trouble, you can rest assured when you are researching."
The promise-like tone is firm and reliable, so that the listener cannot question it.He said you can rest assured, then you just need to rest assured.
Flying Geese is trustworthy.Xia Fei admits this, but this person who is emotionally clumsy will definitely not understand - some people are put in his heart, and are used to think about them all the time, even if he believes in them very much, even if he knows how to worry It's all unnecessary, but the feeling of worry is beyond the subjective control of people, there is no way to suppress it, and there is no way to stop this sour and uneasy mood.
Not even him.
However, he understood Mu Yanxing's intentions, and he wanted him to concentrate on his own work, so Xia Fei just smiled lightly and vaguely bypassed the topic: "I think that zombie is learning from the settlement. Well, flying geese."
Mu Yanxing opened his eyes slightly, and his eyes were blank.
Xia Fei fell in love with his ignorant and defenseless appearance, and continued with a smile: "It has been chasing us for several days, and it had a chance to gather zombies early in the morning, but it didn't. But now, it saw humans gathered together What should we do if we find that it can't fight against so many people by itself? It looked at us again, so it learned to swarm."
"This is all my conjecture." Xia Fei spread his hands, "After all, this zombie is too different. It is impossible to analyze it in depth only by relying on the existing information."
"Could it be an evolved zombie?" Mu Yanxing frowned.
"I tend to think it's a mutant among zombies. It can evolve, but more importantly, it's mutated—it won't rot on the outside, and it's even smarter." Xia Fei pointed to the stone house behind him, "The settlement In the underground world, I have fought a level [-] zombie after evolution. Mr. An called ordinary zombies level [-] zombies, and zombies that evolved for the first time are called level [-] zombies. That level [-] zombie was shriveled, although It has stronger power and lethality, but it is not as smart as this zombie."
Xia Fei narrowed his long and narrow eyes: "This zombie can think, learn, and imitate. It's amazing." Especially the act of picking up the crystal nucleus - it has discovered another way besides cannibalism. The evolutionary path is really quite smart.
If this mutation spreads among zombies, then human beings will face endless nightmares.
Under the huge disparity in numbers, zombies will think, how should human beings live?
Xia Fei could only tell himself that so far, they had only seen one mutant zombie.Does this mean that the number of "smart zombies" among zombies is also extremely rare?Just like the energy system power users among human beings, they are rare.
Hearing the irritable voice of the old lunatic from the stone house, "5 minutes is up!", Xia Fei quickly kissed Mu Yanxing's lips, then turned around and flashed into the stone house—this is the only way I can think about the zombies. , Only by thinking this way can human beings not be too desperate.
