When Yan Xilan and Qi Mingyuan arrived at the scene, the mysterious zombie had disappeared, and only an inhuman-like corpse corroded by toxins was left at the scene.

The young man's face sank, this is another plot that did not exist in the original world. The various changes caused by this zombie tide have begun to reveal the tip of the iceberg. The butterfly's wings flapped gently, blowing away the bonds of the chain of cause and effect, and taking the future to an unforeseen distance.

His eyes swept over several patrolmen who were lying next to each other, and then paced to three meters away, in front of the young man who was lying alone in the clearing. The deceased's right hand showed a strange arc, twisting on his stomach, his five knuckles stiff and slightly hooked inward, and a military dagger fell on the side, which could be seen that he had resisted fiercely before his death.

Yan Xilan frowned, what really caught his attention was the expression of the deceased. Unlike the previous ones, his face was not only full of anger but also surprise. The kind of emotional outpouring after seeing something he couldn't believe at the last moment before he died, beyond the scope of common sense understanding.

"Wang Yuan, 22 years old, the leader of the eighth squad of the Eastern District Defense Regiment, suffered a comminuted fracture of his right wrist bone, which was caused by external force, and the cause of death was due to a viral infection." 008 stopped at the young man's shoulder.

Yan Xilan asked, "Can you analyze the toxin components?" ”

The infrared sensor scanned the corpses on the ground, and 008's tone began to change strangely: "This toxin is derived from the zombie virus, but unlike it, it is more like the product of genetic mutation after combining with other venom gland secretions." ”

The youth grasped the point: "Other venom gland secretions? ”

"That's right." 008's tone was even stranger, and it even sounded a little apprehensive: "The murderer is a high-level zombie, and if there is no accident, its ability should be classified as a special poison." For more information on the characteristics and manifestations of this ability, please refer to ......"

"The Zombie King." Yan Xilan answered with a solemn expression.

The Zombie King in the original worldline is the owner of the poison ability. Just like before the beginning of the apocalypse, the drought, which is described in myths and legends, is a zombie king who is not highly poisonous in all parts of his body, and has the same destructive power. But anyone who comes into contact with it will not escape the fate of death.

In the later stage, after evolving into a veritable zombie queen, toxic substances will be released through the pores around the body, which will be transmitted through the air, so that creatures within a certain range will be infected by inhaling the nasal cavity and be robbed of their vitality. Therefore, the Zombie King is not only untouchable, but also unapproachable, and it is difficult to kill it.

Even Gu Ziyu and his party paid a great price to achieve victory. In fact, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a pyrrhic victory.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is not just a matter of relying on abilities alone to sit back and relax, but also requires resourcefulness and means, and in the end, Gu Ziyu can win, completely thanks to the human wisdom accumulated in the first twenty-four years.

Right now, Yan Xilan is fortunate or unfortunate to have encountered this monster in advance that is destined to set off a bloody storm in the future.

"Attention units, search the mountain!" Yan Xilan held the walkie-talkie and ordered with an unquestionable attitude: "Report the situation immediately, don't rush in, and wait for our rescue." ”

After speaking, he raised his head, and saw Qi Mingyuan looking at him meaningfully, Yan Xilan raised his eyebrows: "What, something?" ”

"Nope." The man stretched out his claws and touched his head lovingly, "The child has grown up, and the uncle is very pleased." ”

At this time, a male voice full of vigor came from the walkie-talkie in the young man's hand: "Yes, sister-in-law!" Then several voices rang out intermittently, echoing through the forest like an echo.

Yan Xilan: ......

The young man looked at Qi Mingyuan expressionlessly.

The latter innocently spread his hands, "It's not me." As he spoke, he pointed to the back of his neck and then to him.

008 saw the dog's leg with a needle: "Host host, I just wanted to say, there is a piece of red skin on the back of your neck, I have checked it, it is the rupture and bleeding of the subcutaneous microvessels when they are subjected to strong suction, except for a little obvious, nothing else." ”

……

……

"Qi Mingyuan." Yan Xilan smiled: "Illegal operation, fraud customers, give me a suspension of business for rectification, and reflect at home." ”

The man stopped doing it, and began to shake the pot with a shout: "This is all a misunderstanding, and it is an uncontrollable force!" ”

The young man put away his smiling face, "If you talk nonsense, your business license will be revoked." ”

Qi Mingyuan immediately said solemnly: "Obey the organizational arrangement." ”

Yan Xilan didn't even look at him, turned around and left. 008, who came with him, suddenly shouted, "Host-" Before he could say the second half of a sentence, he interrupted: "This matter is over." ”

"It's not." 008 hurriedly said: "What you are looking for has appeared!" I detected its fluctuations, right around here. ”

Yan Xilan's steps paused suddenly, "Lead the way, quickly." ”

The event returns to square one, and they come to the place where the Zombie King wakes up. The thing that had fallen from it was still lying in place. Yan Xilan put on plastic gloves and just wanted to squat down to pick them up, but was stopped by 008.

"Wait, there is a toxin secreted by the Zombie King attached to it, and direct contact will infect you."

Yan Xilan's hand stopped in mid-air, and the meteorite was frozen in its entirety with thick ice. At absolute zero, any living thing will fall into a deep sleep.

The irregular polygonal ice surface reflects a beautiful brilliance in the sunlight, and the meteorites sealed in the ice are particularly dazzling. The young man carefully lifted it, his brow loosened.

Qi Mingyuan, who was standing behind him, glanced at it and asked what it was, it was worth him as if he was holding a piece of treasure, Yan Xilan heard the words and said with a profound face: "The hope of mankind." ”

Qi Mingyuan sighed, and then shamelessly leaned forward and pecked his cheek, and at the same time grabbed the ice cube and retreated two steps, retorting solemnly: "Who said it, my hope is obviously you." ”

Yan Xilan was almost made lose his temper by him, and sternly admonished with a tiger face: "You give me a serious point." ”

As soon as he showed this expression, the man's face was full of irrepressible impatience, like a three-year-old child who wanted to kiss, hug, pinch and play with his beloved toy.

Yan Xilan suddenly felt that the other party was here to take revenge on him. Revenge on him in the last world when he took advantage of the fact that he was sullen and couldn't use his fists and feet, he repeatedly provoked the fire and flirted with his language.

"Report to sister-in-law, there is no abnormality in the Eastern District."

"Report to sister-in-law, there is no abnormality in the North District."

"Report to sister-in-law, there is no abnormality in the West District."

Yan Xilan: ......

He began to feel nostalgic for the old days, no matter which way they were.

The young man sighed regretfully, the realm consciousness did not want the zombie king to die now, but also made the human race aware of its existence, so what was it for tossing back and forth?

008 said weakly: "Maybe it's just a coincidence that it appeared here." ”

"No way, the Realm Mind Consciousness will not do useless things, especially when it comes to a character like the Zombie King." Yan Xilan denied: "It must have a plan." ”

There weren't enough clues, and the last piece of the puzzle was still missing. But Yan Xilan could feel that he vaguely seemed to have touched the corner of the invisible puzzle. He is getting closer and closer to the truth.

It's just that there's something missing.

The mysterious disappearance of the Zombie King made them lose their purpose, and they couldn't stay outdoors for long, and after searching for nothing to avail, they returned to the base after burying the bodies of their former comrades.

When Yan Xilan handed over the meteorite to Gu Ziyu and informed him that the stone contained the remnants of mutated Y-rays, which would help vaccine research, the other party, who was still a little sluggish, immediately showed a look of ecstasy. Without saying a word, he walked into the laboratory with the ice cube in his arms and began to measure and analyze its composition, until late at night, until Yan Xilan left, he still stayed inside and circled around it.

For his behavior, the answer 008 got from the database is called: turn grief and anger into motivation, frustration in love and triumph in career. At the same time, it also knows what the little red envelope on the back of its host's neck is - the scientific name is mechanical purpura, commonly known as kiss marks, which mostly appear among lovers or friends who have entered the release period of pheromones, and has the effect of increasing intimacy, rendering the atmosphere during sexual intercourse, and mobilizing the emotions of both parties.

Human feelings are really broad and profound knowledge, and the small system sighs.

Yan Xilan, who was contemplative, did not know its psychological activities, the young man sat at the desk in the dormitory, holding his chest with one hand, and the other under his chin, and the lamp placed in the upper left corner of the desktop lit up with a dim light, enveloping the person entirely, making it more and more obvious that his fingers were slender and rooted like jade, and his eyebrows and eyes were delicate and picturesque.

“008。” After a long time, the young man suddenly said: "Do you think that we have fallen into a misunderstanding? ”

Just like solving a math problem, if something goes wrong, logical thinking will enter a dead end, and there will be no more progress.

For example, now, paradoxes are everywhere - if the realm mind consciousness really wants to be far from Qi Ming's death, why not create new troubles and chase after the victory? Now is clearly the most vulnerable moment for human nature, and from the objective point of view, the ammunition reserves of the base cannot support a new round of onslaught. Now, instead of being meaningless, it has sent human hope to them. It's just like ......

"It's like handing out a reward for a successful level." 008 said suddenly.

Yan Xilan nodded, revealing a thoughtful expression. That's a bit intriguing.

The next day, a group of people from the Tenglong base came to bid them farewell. Chang Pengfei is still the same, with a kind face, and he says words that are not revealed. Thanks to the common hardships of fighting side by side not long ago, everyone in the Dawning Base has a good impression of them, and many of the people who participated in the guard battle that day have the same roots as the Tenglong Base Escort Team as foreign aid, and the members have been familiar with each other in private in the past two days, and when they heard that they were leaving, they were quite reluctant.

Seeing this, Qi Mingyuan pushed the boat down the river and sent out an invitation to a parting banquet, and Chang Pengfei politely agreed to it. In the evening, the people on both sides sat on the ground in the open air, and they talked freely, and there was a good scene of laughter and joy.

Cheng Hao looked around for a while and asked why he hadn't seen Captain Shi, Chang Pengfei, who was chatting with Qi Mingyuan, turned his head and said with a smile: "Writing a review report in the house, Xiao Cheng is really a caring person." ”

Cheng Hao was stunned, "Chang Lao, what did Team Shi do?" ”

Chang Pengfei showed a melancholy and lamented look, and said: "Speaking of this, I have to make amends to you here, Xiao Shi's work was not done properly, resulting in casualties in the responsible area, it is our problem, and we should take responsibility." I didn't have the face to let him come out to see you, so I punished him for thinking about it behind closed doors. ”

Everyone who heard it was stunned, it was a great blessing to be able to protect the base under the impact of the zombie tide, everyone was determined to complete this mission with the determination to die, as long as they did their best, they deserved to be respected, not to mention people like Shi Changrong who generated great energy. The people who guarded the same area as him saw that this former king of special forces was definitely doing his best.

It would be a bit ...... to blame him for all the problems like this Overkill.

Cheng Hao hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, absolutely not!" Our Xie Shi team is too late, how can we do the lack of virtue that will be avenged. ”

Chang Pengfei positive color:
