[Western Pacific, in Japan's territorial waters, a U.S. warship]

A helicopter takes off from a warship, and inside sits Hirata, Jerry, and two Navy SEALs, all old faces.

After ascending into the sky, the helicopter flew straight in a certain direction, without stopping at all, and sped all the way.

"Mr. Ping, we found the signal, and now we are flying straight towards that place." Said the helicopter pilot.

Helicopters are flying tools that can't fly much compared to other flying tools. However, this time the distance is not too far, and secondly, the location has been locked, and in order to quickly save people, the helicopter is very convenient.

Now they are flying over Japan, and when they look down from the sky, the whole land is devastated. Houses are dilapidated, blood is everywhere, and hordes of zombies roam the streets, ignoring any obstacles in front of them, like programmed robots, only the flesh and blood of the living can restore their passion.

Something doesn't seem quite right with the zombies here, though.

"Hirata, I'll talk to you about something." Jerry held a copy of the document in his hand and said to Hirata, who was recuperating with his eyes closed, "Before this rescue operation, we have already sent some personnel to conduct a simple investigation. I've already seen the details above, so I'll make a long story short in order to save time. Speaking of this, Jerry paused, and Hirata also opened his eyes and looked at Jerry.

"First of all, we found out that zombies in Japan are different from zombies everywhere else. The zombies here move slowly, and their bodies are much worse, and if the zombie combat power we have experienced so far is ten, then there are only three zombies in Japan. And they seem to have some memories or habits during their lifetime, for example, they go to a specific place at a fixed time every day. We found that a student zombie would stagger into a school in the morning and return to its home in the afternoon. This phenomenon is very puzzling to our scientists. ”

Hearing this, Hirata was already very interested, he propped himself up from his seat, and stared at Jerry without blinking: "You mean this place is isolated?" ”

"Not only that, so to speak, but there are some other aspects that are different from what we know." Jerry flipped to the next page, "Also, we found the zombie virus here to be very strange. They attack everyone, and that's the biggest difference known. You know, all along, our approach to fighting zombies has been to inject vaccines to make ourselves 'invisible' to zombies, but here it's different. The zombies here seem to attack all living creatures except birds, whether they are the elderly, children, or animals. ”

"Oh, the vaccine doesn't work? So we're all soldiers this time? Hirata interjected.

"Yes, that's what I meant." Jerry nodded, and continued, "But in other ways, the zombies here have something in common with the known, such as being sensitive to sound, reacting to bright lights, and the smell of human flesh and blood, and how transmissible they are - not for cannibalism, but for the purpose of spreading viruses. By the way, there is also the weakness in the head. ”

Finally, Jerry concluded: "Overall, although there are many suspicions, this rescue is relatively simple. The zombies here don't have too strong attack power, and it's relatively easy to deal with them, no, it's quite easy. Four of us are enough, and if you count your companions - if they are as strong as you say, then this is an extremely easy task. ”

After listening to Jerry's words, Hirata leaned back in his chair, his eyes looked at the swaying zombies on the streets of Japan, and he felt a little incredulous: it is obviously the end of the world, but why does this place seem like another world?

"Alas, I always feel uncomfortable, and I seem to be a little irritable." Hirata rubbed his temples and tried to clear his head. "Jerry, what else is there for this rescue?"

"Well, there's some socio-geographic information, you can let me look for it......" Jerry rummaged through a pile of papers, pulling out a piece of paper that was very meager compared to the zombie analysis. Found it, this is it. I'll see...... Now we are going to the University of St. Idoros in the city of Doro, located in the east longitude ......"

“WTF！”

Jerry was stopped by Hirata in the middle of his words, and Hirata looked at Jerry with a puzzled expression, "Where are we going again?" ”

"University of St. Idolos in the city of Doro." Jerry looked at Hirata puzzled, "What, do you know this place?" ”

"I don't know." Hirata didn't know what expression to use, "If the program is correct, this will be a great harvest." ”

"A good harvest?"

"yes, yes." Hirata's mood suddenly became very bad, and he muttered in a low voice, "Why is there such a big gap between people?" Why was I thrown into the men's heap by crossing the party? How can someone else be a cute high school student? That's not fair! ”

"What did you say, Hirata? Why can't I understand? Jerry didn't quite understand Hirata in front of him.

"Forget it, you don't have to understand." Hirata waved his hand to Jerry, "Let's see the situation first, but I don't think a helicopter will fit at that time." You are ready to call for help again, and then you will have to bring at least four more people, at least one helicopter. Don't ask me how I know, I'm too lazy to explain, and you can't understand what we say about metaphysics. That's it, I'll thank you first, and then call me when I get there. ”

After saying that, Hirata sighed and looked at the beautiful scenery (fog) speeding by outside the window, but he was not happy at all, and a sense of old age and twilight wrapped around him, pulling the age of everyone in the entire plane.

"I hope there are really four girls waiting for me to save them...... Simao, you can't die! ”

【University of St. Idoros】

The day began, and the pink hair lazily propped himself up from the bed, and the sun shone out of the window, stretching out of the sun.

"Hmm...... It's so comfortable. As soon as Pink Fur looked at his watch, his spirit immediately became excited, "Ah! It's already this time, get up quickly, you can't make it to breakfast. ”

Pink Mauriso dressed and washed, left her dormitory as fast as she could, and rushed to another dormitory, where someone was already waiting for her.

"Yuki, you're here, we're all waiting for you." Redfur said to Pink Fur that everyone in the house is now here except Pink Fur.

"Ahh Pink hair stuck out his tongue embarrassedly, "I'm sorry~~~"

After listening to Pink Hair's explanation, everyone looked at each other and smiled, and didn't say anything. In fact, since the five of them came to St. Idolos University, everyone's life has become a little lazy. There is a device that Qiē has in Xunzhiqiu Middle School, and the school garden here has not been destroyed, except for one place (for some reason Ye Ke left the zombies here), there are no zombies in the rest of the campus, which gives everyone more space to move.

Since there are such safe and convenient conditions here, there must be survivors too.

The week before, when the five of them first came here, they were expelled and chased by the original survivor team, and then under Ye Ke's gun, they were [purified] by Ye Ke.

Not all of them were killed, but some people remained.

The survivors in this school are roughly divided into two factions, one is the [Martial Fighting Faction] and the other is the [Moderate Faction]. The attackers on Ye Ke were members of the [Wudou Faction], a faction that believes in force and believes that only strength is the capital to survive in the last days, and that the rest are not important, and those who have no value or contribution will be expelled or killed. (To put it simply, a group of secondary two people are grouped together, thinking they have the power to save the world, subjectively judging the value of others, and deciding whether to take them in or kill them.) Under this belief, they believed that Ye Ke and his party were [suspicious people who should be eliminated], so they attacked Ye Ke.

Of course, there is a saying: Whoever picks up the knife must be prepared to die. So they were killed by Ye Ke, and none of them remained.

Ye Ke: "Actually, I'm black-bellied. ”

There is also a group of people who are [moderates]. These people have basically graduated from the second year of secondary school, at least they know that many people have multiple strengths, and they did not blindly attack Ye Ke, so Ye Ke left them behind. For example, a group of three people who claim to be [Self-Willing to Fall into the Club], a librarian, and a seemingly mysterious aspiring biology student who is actually just expelled by the [Martial Arts Faction].

The story about this biological man is quite interesting. Because this person wants to solve the mystery of the zombie and study the zombie. This person obviously met the definition of [Martial Fighting Sect] as a [wasted person], so he was expelled. He could only hide alone in a real building that was blocked because he couldn't [clean up], and was finally found and dragged out by Ye Ke. Just kidding, this guy is the only scientific researcher at the moment, so he expelled people? Those so-called [martial arts factions] are simply sick in the brain.

Okay, now that we've got a rough introduction, it's time to talk about the current situation. Because of Ye Ke's super power, everyone lived in this university, but Zhong Mao had little to do with the survivors in the university. On the one hand, it is due to the bad influence that the initial attack left on Zhongmao; On the other hand, the survivors are afraid of Ye Ke, afraid that they will be too close, and they will be killed by Ye Ke because of a mistake.

For these reasons, the survivors' attitude towards Ye Ke and them was hostile. But there's still one person who is very close to the hair, and that's the creature man. For talented people, what they hate most is that they have nowhere to show. Ye Ke gave him a chance, not only did he not regard him as an outlier like the [Martial Arts Faction], but he valued him very much, and personally caught zombies and came back for her to study. Is there a greater trust than that?

Okay, with all that said, let's eat first (⊙v⊙).

…………………… Meal........................

"What, Redhair, look at Pink Fur, don't let her run around. I don't think the four surviving women will take revenge on you, but we'd better be careful to be safe. After eating, Ye Ke stood up and commanded the red hair. Then she took a lunch box handed to her by Bai Mao, waited for Bai Mao, and the two pushed the door out together. "We went to the real yàn room, and I don't know if we can gain anything today. Blue hair, don't forget to instruct them in martial arts, I'll check the results at night, don't be lazy. ”

Blue/Red: "Yes." ”

Ye Ke and Bai Mao walked towards the real building. There was blood and minced flesh all along the way, and the occasional zombie howl could be heard, but there was not a single zombie along the way. This place has long been swept away by Ye Ke, and those howls are the cries of the test subjects left on purpose, and they are not dangerous.

The two went up to the fourth floor and stopped at a place where a sign was hung that read "Biological Room". "Bai Mao, you go to the electronics room to listen to the signal and see if anyone calls us back. If something comes to me, I'm here with the creature man. ”

"Yes."

Bai Mao nodded and walked towards the innermost room on the fourth floor. Ye Ke also pushed open the door in front of him and walked in with his feet raised.

When I entered the inside, I felt that this place was like a real yàn room. All kinds of bottles and beakers and test tubes form a large number of instruments that can't be understood, there are human anatomy charts on the walls, brain anatomy charts or something, there are half-processed corpses on several tables, and there are two zombies tied with handcuffs and chains in the corner of the room, a man and a woman, and a mannequin is placed opposite these two zombies, but these two zombies are not interested in dummies, only screaming at the living.

When Ye Ke came in, a sloppy man with long hair and a shawl wearing a white coat, but there were many blood stains on his clothes, was lying on a solid platform, staring intently at the test tube in front of him. The medicine in the test tube slowly turned red and then green under the heat of the alcohol lamp, and finally turned red again and stopped changing.

"Wrong again......" the man sighed, took a cigarette from the cigarette case next to him and lit it, his eyebrows wrung together, and said to himself, "These things are really not ordinary creatures...... But at least it proves that these guys really don't need traditional food. So how exactly does this thing keep muscles active? Sure enough, it's still ......"

"Ahem." Seeing that he had been in for a long time, the biological man still hadn't found himself, so Ye Ke had no choice but to use this ancient method to attract his attention.

It was also this cough that the biological man finally saw another person in the room.

"Oh, you're here. I'm sorry, I was doing it just now, I didn't notice it......" The biological man looked up and smiled at Ye Ke, said hello, and saw Ye Ke holding a bento in his hand, and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry to trouble you to bring me dinner." ”

"What kind of dinner...... Ye Ke held his forehead and didn't know what to say, "It's already the next morning, this is your breakfast, you have stayed up all night." Saying that, Ye Ke looked at a table next to him, and there was a lunch box on it, and he didn't move at all. You were doing it when I came to bring you dinner last night, so I didn't bother you...... I knew by the look on your face that you didn't realize it at all. Forget it, let's eat. Ye Ke handed the lunch box in his hand to the biological man, then pulled a chair from the side and sat down, looking at the biological man. After staying up all night, did you find anything? ”

The biological man took the lunch, pulled a chair and sat down opposite Ye Ke, opened the lid and began to eat. "Well, I found that I can't say it, I should say that I am confused. I tried to think about the mobility of zombies in terms of biology, but it didn't work...... Ahem, ahem. "The biological man said while eating, he accidentally choked on the rice, and it took a big sip of water to relieve himself." Uh, saved...... Let's go on. I thought they were using 'devouring' humans to gain energy, but when I think about it, it doesn't feel right, the evidence is that I haven't seen a human being eaten by them yet - of course, it may also be the reason why they become zombies after devouring half of the corpse, they don't attack their own kind. ”

However, from what is known, it is clear that this view is clearly wrong. There are no more humans to feed them and the zombies are not 'dead', which is the paradox. Do I wonder if they feed on themselves? After a night of various realities, in terms of the weight of the dead bodies, the viability of the cells, the possible way of 'digestion', and so on, I came to the conclusion that they do not feed on themselves. ”

After eating a bento, the biological man brought the bento he forgot to eat yesterday, and for him, the next meal may be when, and he must eat enough for every meal. He opened the lid, swallowed a piece of beef first, and then said to Ye Ke: "In terms of weight, aside from factors such as blood loss, the weight of zombies is almost the same as before death. Cells also magically maintain some kind of activity, but they are no longer human cells. Since zombies have no bodily fluids to circulate, there is no way to talk about 'digestion'. ”

"You mean you haven't found it again?" Ye Ke was a little disappointed when he heard half of it. After so many days, the biological man still hasn't made any results. "Am I too anxious?" Ye Ke said to himself in his heart, "Sure enough, just one student can't complete such a big project." Alas. ”

"No, there are still discoveries." The biological man put down the bento in his hand, looked at Ye Keyan with both eyes, and said, "Finally, I took some fragments from the zombie and observed them under a microscope. It was found that as long as these fragments left the zombie's body, they would automatically inactivate and turn into ordinary corpse fragments. This excites me, and I little by little I look at the various parts of the zombies' bodies to find out where they produce energy. How to say it, it should be said that the final location is here. The biological man pointed to his own brain, "Rightfully so, isn't it?" ”

"Indeed, but what's the use of that?"

"That means there's a switch deep in their brains that controls their bodies -- and their powers." The biological man put his hand down and suddenly laughed, and Ye Ke saw a word called 'truth' in his eyes. "It's a non-living, nay, should I say abnormal, ethereal, magical, ubiquitous, science-defying ...... Strength. ”

"I seem to see what you mean." Ye Ke also laughed, and with a move in his hand, [Thousand Blood] appeared in his hand. She dangled the butt of her gun between the two of them, "That's what you mean?" ”

"That's right." The biological man stood up, walked over to the two zombies who were tied up in chains, and made a gesture of please.

"Okay, I'll give it a try." Ye Ke walked to the zombie and stood still, and said to the biological man behind him, "You stand back a little and stay away from me." The biological man nodded and retreated to the window, staring at Ye Ke without blinking.

Ye Ke first recalled [Thousand Blood], and then stretched out his right index finger to point at the zombie, refreshing his luck, a light blue aura mass the size of a ping-pong ball appeared at the tip of his index finger, and slowly moved in front of the zombie.

The aura flew in front of the zombie's face, but the zombie did not react, or did not have the reaction that the two expected. The zombies were still just screaming as they had just been, as if nothing had happened.

Ye Ke frowned slightly, manipulating the aura mass to swirl around the zombies, but it was still ineffective.

"No response? Shouldn't it? Ye Ke's brows furrowed even deeper. She waved her hand to disperse the aura mass, her right hand changed to palm up, bowed her head and silently recited a few spells, and a palm-sized cyan flame rose from her palm. The flame burned silently, impartially, like a phosphorus fire, and the flames rose straight up.

Ye Ke took a few steps forward with the flame, but the flame did not react. She took a few more steps forward, grabbed a wooden stick and put it against the zombie's teeth, and raised the flame to the zombie's forehead, and the flame finally changed.

The flames that were originally swaying up became a little distorted at this time, and the direction of the flames was slightly biased towards the zombies, as if the zombie's head was a suction outlet, sucking the flames over, not only that, Ye Ke also heard a subtle "whirring" sound. She held the flame and spun around the zombie's head, the flame always pointing slightly at the zombie, but as soon as she took the flame back a little, the flame changed back to its original form of pointing at the sky, and the sound disappeared.

Ye Ke nodded, dispersed the flames with satisfaction, and stretched out his hand to beckon the biological man to come over: "The kid has a hand, you have made a meritorious service today." ”

The biological man walked over and said, "What's the situation?" ”

"The situation is that these zombies, as you might expect, do not rely on their own bodies for energy. The source of their energy," Ye Ke said, gesturing with his hands and drawing a big circle, "It's this world." They live by absorbing the energy of this world called 'Reiki' or 'Spiritual Power' by absorbing the brain, or a part of the brain. I think we've found the secret to their 'survival'. ”

"Really?!" The biological man said excitedly, "You tell me more about this, I want to know more." ”

"Okay, no problem." Ye Ke nodded, it is very helpful for the biological man to know a little more about this aspect of the situation. The two pulled over the chairs and sat down, and Ye Ke began to tell him about spiritual power. "Spiritual power is closely related to the survival of human beings, and the human soul can be said to be 'conscious spiritual power'...... I can feel spiritual power in a certain way, and then manipulate spiritual power......"

The two of them started talking about these things in the real yàn room, and the biological man was stunned when he heard it, although he had already guessed it, but when he really understood these things, it was still very surprising. The road seemed to have reached the greatest fork in the road ever, and a door to a new world opened to him.

……

"Teacher, teacher!"

The two had just talked for a while, and Bai Mao suddenly pushed the door in, interrupting the two of them, and the two turned their heads to look at Bai Mao. I saw that her cheeks were red, her expression was very excited, and her arm holding the doorknob trembled slightly.

"Teacher, I hear you!"

"Oh? What do you hear? Ye Ke asked Bai Mao with some doubts, in her impression, Bai Mao was not an easily excited person. What the hell is going on? ”

"That's right, I ......"

Bai Mao was about to explain, when another voice came from outside the door.

"Teacher, teacher, teacher!"

Pink, blue and red three hairs poked their heads in from outside the door, all of them were the same as white hair, their cheeks were red, their expressions were excited, their eyes were wide open, and the word 'excited' was written on their faces.

"What the hell is going on?" Ye Ke was a little confused by the second monk.

"It's such a teacher......"

"Ah, I'll come, I'll come."

"Actually, we found ......"

"Just heard ......"

The four of them explained to Ye Ke in a gossipy manner, and Ye Ke didn't understand a word for a long time.

"Uh......" Ye Ke held his forehead, "Don't worry, come one by one." White hair, you say it first. ”

Bai Mao nodded, calmed down and said, "Teacher, I heard the message of the search and rescue team in the electronics room just now. There are two paragraphs, one in English and one in Chinese, both of which mean to ask if there are survivors here! ”

“what？” Ye Ke was stunned.

"Hee-hee, sue you Miki." Lan Mao patted Bai Mao on the shoulder, "Although we didn't hear the message, we rushed here to tell Mr. Sù, we saw that there was a helicopter flying towards us!" It's already on top of our heads! ”

“what？ what？ what？ Lan Mao's words made Ye Ke say three things in one go, "You said it's already on top of our heads?" ”

"Yes, we saw it on the playground just now." Redfur said, "I guess it should be ...... by now."

Before the red fur could continue, a trumpet sound came from outside.

Hey, hey, did anyone hear that? I'm Jerry, a UN investigator, and I'm here because I've received a distress signal, so if anyone hears me, please come out and see you! Hey, hey, did anyone hear that? I'm Jerry ...... UN Investigator"

Everyone hurried out of the Shi yàn building. As soon as the six people came out, they saw a helicopter hovering over the heads of the six people. The helicopter hatch opened, and a man was holding a bullhorn and shouting below. He was just halfway through his shouting when another person poked his head out of it, took the microphone from the man before, and shouted to the six who had already appeared:

"Hey, that familiar girl down there. I'm Hirata, old Zhu Xiaolan, Xiaolong Daquan, they're okay! ”

"For Mao, I forgot my name, bastard! I shot it and believe it or not! I'm really going to shoot! ”

[Curator Jin] "I'll take care of you. ”
