Chapter 8 It's Learning
"Looks like they've been lurking in for a long time!"
Guan Zixuan lowered her head, her eyes glancing at the old man from time to time.
"That's what makes me weird!" I frowned, my brow stretched whenever I was nervous.
"They've been coming in for a long time, but they haven't attacked anyone, why?"
"Maybe they have some other purpose!" Guan Zixuan said.
For some other purpose?
What could it be?
The zombie knocking on the door last night continued, and they were still using their voices to smash the hell.
That is, their invasion of basements is far from over.
But why not just bring in a large force through the smoke exhaust pipes and annihilate everyone in one fell swoop?
Why is it lurking?
With its current capabilities, it seemed like it would be easy to kill everyone.
Why doesn't it get hands-on?
I was sweating from my forehead, and I couldn't figure it out. The unknown is the scariest thing!
"They may be learning!" Ms. Kwan said.
"Studying?"
"Yes, I feel so!"
Guan Zixuan speculated that those insects were learning, not by reading the book, but by trying to understand the human world!
They keep sending small minions to infiltrate, silently kill one of them, and then take control of that person's corpse.
It's horrible!
If this is true, then who among our more than 100 people is still their undercover agent now?
And what do they want to do after they learn?
Do you want to know yourself and your opponent and win all battles?
Or do you want to just learn?
"We've got to figure out how to fix this!"
My brow is getting tighter and tighter, and my emotions are really extremely nervous!
Thing...... It's getting scary!
"What should we do?" asked Guan Zixuan.
"First of all, don't alarm them, we don't know how intelligent they are, if they can really think like normal people, then our chances are slim!"
"They're just bugs, and we can beat them. Guan Zixuan comforted me.
"Okay, Zhao Jie, don't be so nervous when you encounter things, don't be presumptuous, the power of human unity is very powerful!" she added.
Yes, we can't be defeated!
I cheered up, Zixuan was right, we can't be worried when we encounter a little setback, this won't solve the problem!
Now that the corpses possessed by the fire phosphorus insects are hidden among us, we must find a way to find out!
Fire phosphorites are not human, and they can't use psychological tactics to catch lurkers.
What we do know is that they are not yet able to understand human language and writing, and do not know the meaning of these symbols.
But we can't just ask people to see who can talk and who can't. Because this may make the fire phosphorids think that we are fighting them, they may directly attack and bite the person who asks them.
This group of insects now not only has a high sense of ethnicity, but also a sense of self-protection.
The only way is to observe!
So from this day on, Guan Zixuan and I each held a small notebook to record everyone's movements, demeanor, deeds, and words.
We also have a list of people on hand, and we can cross out the names of those we don't think are a threat by watching.
I also hired Uncle Wang as a helper, and he had a good relationship with many people in the basement, and some of them he could directly determine if they were bugs.
The method of judging is very simple, as long as you can speak, the name is crossed out, and if you have doubts, you will keep it.
The list is new every day to make it easier to determine if there are any new people who have been caught by bugs.
This time, the method of killing people by fire phosphorus insects has also changed, and they are fast and accurate, leaving no time for the opponent to breathe. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to go unnoticed.
Zombies come knocking on doors every night, and during the day when it's raining. So we have to find all the bugs faster.
"What did you find?" asked Guan Zixuan.
We meet in this corner every day to work on this issue.
Of course, we also meet and talk at other times. But this issue will not be discussed.
We weren't afraid that the insects would hear it, but that other ordinary villagers would hear it.
If they knew that there were a few people controlled by insects around them, they would probably be suspicious of each other and even kill each other out of fear.
"I've been observing for a long time in the past few days, and I've found three very suspicious people!" I said.
"In addition to that old man, I also found three, namely Lao Liu, who is in charge of growing vegetables, Lao Zhang, who cleans the grocery room, and Lao Wang, who is in charge of firewood!"
The people she found were the same as the ones I found.
Through the observation of the past few days, I found that these people are different in their actions, so I deliberately wrote them down.
Now I'm almost sure they're bugs!
First of all, none of them have spoken lately. Secondly, they all showed strange behavior. They behave like old men reading books.
Lao Liu is responsible for growing vegetables, and he should be very good at growing vegetables. But through observation, it was found that Lao Liu just carried the tool and kept repeating the same action, and only moved the distance after a while.
Lao Zhang is too, he is in charge of the cargo room, and his task is to take care of the things brought by the villagers who have fled.
But he kept moving the same thing over and over again.
There is also Lao Wang, his recent yards of firewood are not neat, and sometimes it is very messy.
These people really can't find it if they don't look carefully, and they imitate these movements very similarly under the control of insects.
But only imitation, they don't understand what these actions mean at all!
But there is one thing that still scares me!
The people selected by the fire phosphorites are too distinctive, which shows that they have been able to compare the differences between people!
First of all, all three of them work alone and don't intersect too much with other people.
Secondly, all three of them are a bit withdrawn and usually don't talk much, so it's hard for people to find out that they're not them anymore!
These people are all selected after their planning and weighing!
They continue to bring us heart-pounding "surprises", how much potential do these insects have!
"These insects can't seem to be killed, they are not afraid of water, they are not afraid of high temperatures, and they can be invisible! Even if we find these people possessed by insects, there is still no way to deal with them!" Guan Zixuan said.
