Chen Yuan flicked the cigarette ash, "I haven't thought about the specific direction yet, there are probably three ideas, one is to leave the city and get back on the highway and continue to go north, and the other is to continue along this coastline to see what the situation will be over there." ”

"And what about the other situation?"

Chen Yuan glanced back at the short-haired woman who was still in a coma, "See if she cooperates, if the information is sufficient, I want to go to the base of that group to have a look." If they can have such strong firepower, it means that the place where they live must be a good place. ”

Li Qiluo looked at him stunned, "No, Chen Yuan, you don't want to capture their stronghold, right?"

Chen Yuan smiled casually, "If you can, of course it's great." However, it is not easy to see those people shoot at the sight of people in such a frenzied manner, and it is estimated that it is not easy to occupy their territory. ”

"Don't keep thinking about doing something so dangerous! ”

Shen Jingyuan glared at him resentfully, and then added: "The man who came to the small supermarket at that time told us that there were probably dozens of them, and there were only five of us in total, and there was a big gap in firearms. So don't even think about grabbing land with those people, okay?"

Seeing that Shen Jingyuan said so seriously, Chen Yuan nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

"Uh-huh. ”

Several people were silent for a moment.

Jiang Lian said softly: "Chen Yuan, there are a few other things that are very strange, I think, just like you said before, the current world full of zombies does not seem to be a simple disaster. ”

Everyone's eyes focused on Jiang Lian.

Chen Yuan frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Lian continued: "The man who came to the small supermarket before said some very strange things. She thought about it slightly, "That person said that if he has had enough fun here in the future, he can directly bring Yuanyuan back." I don't mean that he mentioned Yuanyuan's name, but something else in the sentence. He actually said that he had enough of playing here, and that sentence to bring back, where did he mean to take it?"

She looked at Chen Yuan, "At that time, there were a total of four people in them, three men and one woman, and the woman was her. She stretched out her finger and pointed at the short-haired woman, and then said, "Among these four people, except for her, the remaining three men are not worried about nervousness and fear at all. It's as if they're not worried about zombies at all, or even if there are zombies, they're not worried at all. It really feels like you're playing ......."

Chen Yuan's scalp tingled a little when he heard this, "What do you mean......"

"I don't know if I'm right, but I feel like I'm capable of it. She paused and looked around into everyone's eyes, "Perhaps, somewhere in our country, there is a very safe city. A lot of people live inside normally, and then by what means do we isolate those of us who are outside? Those who live in the safe zone are either unaware of what's going on outside, or they've embraced the way of life. ”

She frowned, "I think that the man named Xue Leng should be from there." ”

Although Jiang Lian's speculation did not have any conclusive evidence, it gave them a feeling that the truth was likely to be like this.

Chen Yuan lowered his head and pondered.

Jiang Lian breathed a sigh of relief, "That safe place may not be just a certain city, it may also be an urban agglomeration composed of many cities. Or rather, there is a place in our country that we, the average person, never knew about. It is very likely that Xue Leng lived there for a long time, and then after feeling bored, he came out of there and came to the outside world. ”

"The world inside...... The outside world ......"

Chen Yuan repeated it softly, then looked up at Jiang Lian, "Are there anything else strange?"

"Yes. ”

Jiang Lian looked down at her right hand.

At that time, Nezha took a bite on Xue Leng's forearm, you see. She picked up a small piece of human skin-like thing from the side and handed it to Chen Yuan, "This is bitten off from Xue Leng's forearm, this is not our normal human skin at all, this should be an artificial skin." ”

"I took a closer look when he jumped out of the window, and there was no blood at all from the place where he was bitten, and I also saw the skinless area, as if there was metal in it," she recalled. At first, I wondered why when I fired, he couldn't feel the heat even when he grabbed the barrel. Now that I think about it, it should be because his right hand is a kind of prosthesis. And I think it's probably like a robotic arm from a science fiction movie. ”

"No......"

Li Qiluo let out a sigh.

At that time, she was already frightened and stupid, and she didn't notice these places at all.

Jiang Lian looked at Xiao Nezha, was silent for a moment, and responded: "Even the conversion between humans and zombies can be done through experiments, and I think it shouldn't be a big problem to replace one arm with a mechanical one." ”

"You're right. ”

Chen Yuan turned his head to look at the short-haired woman, "If the truth of the matter is really as you said, then we really have to go to the base of that group of people tomorrow to have a look." ”

"But ......"

Shen Jingyuan naturally understood what was at stake at the moment, but when she thought of the danger that might occur, she couldn't help but be a little worried.

Chen Yuan smiled at her, "Don't worry, I just want to investigate, there will be no danger." ”

"Hmmm......"

Everyone seemed to be slowly digesting Jiang Lian's words.

After being so quiet for a while, Shen Jingyuan said, "Chen Yuan, you said, we didn't meet Tong Xia and them here, could it be that they met Xue Leng's gang on the way and then ran into trouble?"

Frankly, this speculation is quite possible.

Chen Yuan and the others didn't know where the group came from, but at least they were sure that this location would not be too far away from them.

If you think about it this way, it may be that Tong Xia and the others were about to come here, but they met Xue Leng's gang on the way, and then they were kidnapped.

Chen Yuan shook his head slightly, this kind of speculation is basically a random guess without any basis at all, although there is indeed a certain chance, but the probability is definitely not high.

Thinking of this, he said to Shen Jingyuan: "This possibility is not high, you don't have to worry too much." ”

"Hmmm......"

Shen Jingyuan nodded slightly, and then turned her gaze to Xiao Nezha's body.

"That'...... After we leave tomorrow, Nezha ......"

"I'm going to take him with me, what do you think?"

Chen Yuan looked up at everyone.

Li Qiluo's eyes immediately widened, and he said with a smile: "Really, can we take Nezha with us?"

Chen Yuan sighed lightly, "Of course." He also glanced at Xiao Nezha with some distress, "In order to protect the three of you, he didn't even care about his own life, if we still worry about his loss of control, then we are no different from those who only care about their own life and death." ”

"That's it!"

Li Qiluo said as she looked at Shen Jingyuan and asked, "Sister Yuanyuan, Sister Lian, Brother Wan, you will definitely agree, right?"

"Uh-huh. ”

Shen Jingyuan smiled and nodded.

Yang Wanli and Jiang Lian also agreed.

"By the way, there's another place I just forgot to mention. ”

Jiang Lian glanced at Chen Yuan, then turned her head to look at Xiao Nezha.

"You say. ”

"Didn't I say before that those people didn't have any expressions of worry or anything like that, but since Nezha broke off the forearm of the thinner person among them, Xue Leng's expression has completely changed. He said that Nezha was a species, and the whole person was obviously panicked. That feeling, as if Nezha is a very terrifying existence. ”

"Species ......"

This term is the first time Chen Yuan has heard it.

Jiang Lian said affirmatively: "Well, it's very similar to the other species you said before, maybe there is some connection between the two." ”

Chen Yuan also turned his head to look at Xiao Nezha.

There is a high probability that there is some kind of connection between the species and the other, two terms that are so similar.

He already knew a little bit about other situations.

If Xiao Nezha, an existence between humans and zombies, is counted as a species, then does it mean that Chen Yuan himself is also a species?
