It didn't take long for the rain to stop and it was dawning. Pushing open the window, the original strong smell of rotting corpses in the air has also lightened a lot.

"Take us downtown today." Ouyang Zhi said to Liu Qing. Now that the zombies are about to start evolving, their plans have to change as well. Originally, I wanted to go to the city center later, but now I have to do it earlier. If the zombie evolution is completed, even if the survivors still have the courage to leave the city, how many of them will make it to Doom City alive?

Chen Yan took out several small versions of electric bicycles from the space, one for two people. Since you have to rush, the car is too big and inconvenient, and it is noisy. Then this simple electric bicycle is the best means of transportation. Although it is safer to walk, Wangshan is a dead horse, and they really have to walk, and they can't walk to the city center for a day.

After being fully armed, they followed the path pointed out by Liu Qing one by one. YN is mountainous, and if there are mountains, there will be trees. Years of over-cutting have left these trees not very lush, but now they are stretching upwards at a speed that can be seen with the naked eye. Oddly enough, they stop when they reach a certain height. According to Chen Yan's explanation, this is due to the evolution of virus rain to a certain point, and it will depend on them in the future. Not only the mountains and forests, but also the green belts on the roadsides are also changing. Those that do not change slowly wither, and finally turn into fertilizer for the same kind of use. The rules of survival of the fittest remain the same.

Along the way, they carefully dodged the zombies, and also took care not to touch the mutant plants. Who knows if it's carnivorous or vegetarian. The most important thing for them is to rush to the city center first, broadcast the radio, attract the zombies to the city center, and give the survivors a certain chance.

Their luck is really good, I don't know if the zombies are in a hurry to evolve or what, it is rare to see groups of zombies along the way, and the occasional few wandering around are quickly resolved. What was expected to take half a day is now less than 2 hours to the city center. Again, because they were cautious and slow.

As he approached the city center, Ouyang stopped. He felt it quietly.

"Something isn't right here."

Others are slowly feeling it, too. They were highly trained people before the end of the world. The sense of danger is stronger than that of the average person. They got out of the car and took a closer look behind an overturned bus.

The city centre was deserted, with large advertising banners fluttering in tatters in the wind, and the railings were left with bare iron bars, which lay to the ground. The square is full of shoes, clothes, water bottles, plastic bags and other garbage, and the ground has been covered in a thick layer of black blood clots, with occasional bits of flesh and bones.

It was so quiet, so quiet that only the wind could be heard. When the apocalypse broke out, people were waiting here for the New Year's bell to ring, and it stands to reason that there should be a dense crowd of zombies in the square, and even the bones that have been eaten should be piled up into a mountain. But there's nothing here. Zombies don't hide their whereabouts, so where are all these guys? What about the bones? These anomalies mean danger.

Behind the plaza is a 7-storey mall, with a sightseeing platform on the top floor. Originally, they were going to go up to the top level and install the player. Now they have to change their plans, and they won't venture into it without knowing what the danger is. Chen Yan took out a small robot. It is the latest bomb disposal robot of country M, which can be remotely controlled within a range of 1,000 meters, and is the latest equipment of the bomb disposal unit.

I had already recorded the recording during last night's break, and now I just need to install the player on the robot. The robot also has a real-time video function, and for safety, they retreat 200 meters and enter a bank's vault.

The robot moved forward slowly, occasionally bone-shattering. I didn't find anything until I got to the entrance of the mall. Advancing through the shattered glass door of the mall, I saw that the entire hall had collapsed into a large pit with a diameter of about 50 meters. Lang Lang remotely controlled the robot probe arm and looked into the pothole. The entrance to the cave was pitch black, and it was impossible to see how deep it was. If they were here, they would smell the shocking smell of blood. Unfortunately, they don't know it now. Without further delay, the robot continued to walk to the top floor.

Walk up the stairs and in a short time you reach the top floor. Following the pre-set switch, the player starts playing the recording: "XGLL survivors, hello! Being alive today proves that you are better than those who have departed. This is your luck and your sorrow. Continuing to live is the only thing we have to do. Now, zombies, mutant beasts, and mutant plants are flooding our former homes. We're going to fight them. In the Tibetan city of HY, not far from you, we have established a base called Doomsday City. There are strong walls and perfect living facilities. As long as you have the courage, you are welcome to Doom City! Our address is 100 meters east of the industrial suburb of HY City, Tibet. ”

The high-power horn buzzed directly, and the recording suddenly spread in all directions, repeating the cycle. The roar of corpses in the distance kept coming, and the zombies were all moving closer to this place when they heard the sound. Lang Lang found a relatively hidden place, instructed the robot to remove the player, and then asked the robot to stand on the highest place to observe the surrounding situation.

Whether it is the main road or the alleyway, the zombies staggered over, and you can see that the speed of some zombies has increased significantly, and some zombies encounter overturned vehicles blocking the road and directly overturn them with their hands. These are the mutant zombies that evolve in speed and power. Other than these two, no other changes have been found in the dense zombie horde.

In less than half an hour, the zombies gathered in the square. Strangely, the zombie horde stopped at the outskirts of the square. The zombies in the back didn't know what was going on, and they were still pushing and squeezing forward, and the zombies in front of them retreated hard. Zombies don't feel anything, and now it can only mean that there are things in the square that can make these primary-evolved zombies fear and surrender. Gradually, zombies have filled all the nearby roads. Row after row, piece after piece, looking down from the air, like an ant's nest. The zombies were no longer crowded, just standing there quietly, looking at the sound coming from the rooftop, and black saliva kept dripping from their torn mouths, some with a trace of flesh and blood.

While the tweeters were still playing, changes began to appear in the mall. The robot stands on the top floor and can't see the changes in the mall. It's just that some tentacles start to stick out from the ground floor of the mall, the tentacles are fiery red, and the top is covered with sarcoma-like bumps like toads, some have burst, and yellow pus is leaking, and some seem to be maggots inside, and something is wriggling. Chen Yan had seen a lot of disgusting scenes in his previous life, but he frowned and turned his face away, while Liu Qing ran directly to the corner and vomited.

The tentacles slowly squirmed throughout the square, and the zombies in front of them began to crowd again. The first zombie was squeezed into the tentacles, only to see the nearest few tentacles suddenly rolled up and raised the zombies, so they fought and bit in mid-air, and finally this zombie was torn into the mouths of different tentacles. It can be said that each tentacle is a creature, the tip of the tentacle opens like a flower blooming, and a number of barb-like straws stick out of it, and the zombie is tightly involved, and the whole process is extremely fast.

Later, the tentacles attack the zombie horde, and the zombie horde becomes more and more chaotic. Zombies continue to disappear into the tentacles. Soon, the zombies within 10 meters of the square were devoured. The zombies behind slowly retreated instinctively. Strangely, the tentacles protrude 10 meters out of the square and then stop stretching, as if that is all they are long. As the zombies retreated, the tentacles slowly retracted into the mall.

There was silence, only the radio was repeated.
