Rewind time to an earlier time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 At this time, everyone in the Gaocheng family had just found out about Ye Zhu's departure.

And Ye Zhu had already crossed the two streets at this time and came to the house where he and Miyamoto Li had stayed that day.

This house is a typical courtyard building, with two floors and a small courtyard, surrounded by a wall, and a field has been opened up against the wall, where some vegetables are grown. However, it is clear that no one has taken care of them since the disaster broke out, and they have basically died.

Ye Zhu held the boning knife in his hand, the blade drooped, the iron-gray knife body was stained with blood, and the red and white liquid slowly fell along the knife surface.

He walked through two streets towards this side, and on the way slaughtered about thirty dead bodies, basically cutting off the head with a knife, killing them instantly, and the efficiency was extremely high, so he didn't make much movement, and came here quite smoothly.

Ye Zhu gently rubbed the door, and then pushed it open. The golden sunlight shone through him into the room, and under the transparent and warm light curtain, countless fine dust particles were flying.

"It still stinks. No, it feels stench, it's stronger than before, is it because it's been too long, and the flesh is rotting and stinking? ”

Smelling the foul smell in the air in the room, Ye Zhu frowned slightly and muttered. Then he strode in. Either way, just go in and take a look.

After entering the door, Ye Zhu did not go directly to the second floor, but cautiously reconnoitred on the first floor.

The interior of the house is simple, with a corridor leading to the second floor, and a staircase to the second floor is built on the right side of the corridor, leaving a gap a meter wide for people to walk. And at the end of the hallway is a door, which opens to a living room, nothing special.

In addition, there were two other rooms in the living room, Ye Zhu took the boning knife and carefully checked it, but he didn't find any special circumstances, but the accumulated dust became a lot more.

"Could it be that I'm thinking too much?"

Ye Zhu looked around with some doubts. He had thought there should be a lot of strange things here, but now it seemed that there was no sign of anyone else coming, or a dead body invading. He shook his head, "I'm not so sure yet, I'll have to go up to the second floor and take a look." ”

As he spoke, he walked briskly out of the living room and up the stairs.

On the second floor of this house, there are only two rooms, one of which Ye Zhu remembers is a storage room dedicated to storing all kinds of miscellaneous items. When he came to the second floor, Ye Zhu's brows furrowed, because the smell here was extremely strong, even stronger than the last time.

He tightened the boning knife in his hand, and then walked to the door of the room where he remembered seeing the peeled corpse and the flesh and blood.

The door to the room was shut, as if no one had come.

He nudged the door, making an old, 'toothy' sound, and slowly stepped back.

The last time he came here, the door was still locked, and he chose to break down without a key. So now it's not bad at all.

The door retreated, and then the appearance of the room also met Ye Zhu's eyes.

"Evil!"

Ye Zhu immediately felt a little sick to his stomach.

The stench in the room was almost overwhelming, and compared to the smell here, the stench he smelled outside the door just now was hardly a dimensional. He pinched his nose and resisted his nausea, and looked inside the room.

I saw that the room was in a mess, and there was a huge gap between it and the appearance in his memory.

The most obvious of these was that the pink flesh and the skinned corpse that had been seen last time were now rotting and stinking, turning a deep black like soy sauce, and countless pink maggots wriggling on them.

Ye Zhu endured the nausea, squatted down to look at the rotten meat, lightly picked off the layer of meat on it with a boning knife, swept his eyes slightly, and whispered: "Tsk, is it really that I think too much, I feel that these corpses are nothing special, they are no different from the corpses of normal people after they decompose." ”

Whispering like this, Ye Zhu was suddenly stunned, and then his eyes lit up - compared to normal people, it was no different.

That's right! Here's the problem!

Although the corpses were decomposed, there was no sign of them turning into dead bodies. In other words, these people did not seem to be infected by the dead body from the time they lived until they died. That being the case, why did these people die without encountering a dead body? In particular, this skinless corpse is the strangest.

Under what circumstances will a person be skinned whole? Could it be that these are all done by people?

No! Ye Zhu denied his own conjecture.

Because in this room, in addition to this somewhat mutilated skinless corpse, there is also the flesh that has been gnawed and eaten in a mess. It was clear that the flesh was made up of different human bodies, as there were two gnawed and broken bones of the left hand, which were now blackened.

If it was a human who killed these dead bodies, then there would be no sign that someone had been eaten, right?

Probably not. Ye Zhu thought hesitantly. After all, the disaster didn't last long, and it is unlikely that someone would be hungry enough to eat someone, and if they did, why should they skin another person? Idle and having fun?

Shaking his head, Ye Zhu dispelled the unnecessary thoughts in his mind, and then swept the room again. He wanted to see if there was something he hadn't noticed.

"What's that?!"

Ye Zhu was suddenly stunned, and in the corner of the room, Yu Guang swept into a rather strange thing.

He stepped forward, and reached out and picked it up, and it was a mass of blood-stained hairs that dried up and turned black, congealing the hairs into a handful. Ye Zhu rubbed it lightly with his hand, "This shouldn't be human hair, it feels a little softer." ”

Saying this, he didn't look at it much, but continued to look at the room. At this time, he realized that in this room, in addition to the flesh and blood that were too tragic, there were actually these golden hairs falling in many places. And he kept ignoring them.

Ye Zhu collected a lot of those hairs, grabbed them in his hands, and looked at them again.

This is unusual.

Why is there so much golden hair in this room?

And it doesn't look like human fur, and it doesn't look like dyed blonde hair, but like the hair of other creatures.

Cat? No, it's not.

Or a dog? It's not right, it doesn't feel the same.

Ye Zhu's thinking turned sharply, and then he was stunned. He suddenly remembered. In the real world, he once took his sister to the zoo and saw an animal with a golden retriever like this. That's right, that animal, it's a monkey!

"Could it be that all these hairs come from monkeys?" Ye Zhu muttered, staring closely at the hair in his hand. At this moment, it was as if something was about to pop out of his mind, it was a faint thing that he had been ignoring all these days.

What is it? What am I missing? Ye Zhu frowned.

After a deep groan, Ye Zhu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he finally realized what he had ignored!

That's right, the thing he's been ignoring is-

In this catastrophe, apart from the mutated human corpses, he still seems to have seen not a single infected animal, such as a dead cat, a dead dog, or the like.

It stands to reason that humans can be infected by dead viruses, so why shouldn't other animals?

Thinking of this, Ye Zhu suddenly remembered one thing: maybe many people didn't notice that the dead bodies wandering outside were actually only aggressive to humans, but they would turn a blind eye to other animals. This was something he had only found out about the other day.

When he and Miyamoto Rei and the others had not yet gone to Takashiro's house, Alice's dog once ran disobediently to the center of a group of dead bodies, and then was fenced off. Originally, everyone thought that it must be hopeless, but to everyone's surprise, the roaring dead bodies, although attracted by its sound, did not seem to attack it.

Therefore, the dog named Xiaobai, after running around in a circle among the dead bodies, returned to Alice's side in a hurry.

This made Ye Zhu think that the dead bodies in this world, like the giants in the world of 'Attack on Titan', would only attack humans, so he didn't think much about it and forgot about it.

But now that I think about it, this is a big blind spot.

Dead bodies do not attack animals other than humans, but it does not mean that those animals do not become dead.

Animals such as dogs and rats, for example, are easily attracted to the decaying corpses and eat the infected flesh. What would become of these animals if they ate the flesh of a human who had been transformed into a dead body? Will it become a dead body? Or will they just die?

Ye Zhu touched his chin, stood up, and said in his heart: It seems that it is necessary to go out and verify it. Then again, I hadn't even noticed this before, and it was really too sloppy.

After self-examination for a while, Ye Zhu put the hairs in his trouser pocket, carried a boning knife, and walked downstairs.

However, not long after Ye Zhu left, the curtain on the left side of the room that he thought was for decoration was slightly raised, and a wisp of fresh wind blew in from outside. It turned out that behind that curtain, there was a rather rare blind.

Immediately, a somewhat clumsy and nimble figure came in through the shutter.

It was a monkey. But its eyes shone with blood.
