Chapter 138: One Step Later [Eighth Update]
"Reporter Zhang, do you know the specific address of this Zeng Quan's home? We'll go right now, hopefully there's still time......"
Lin Ye's face was solemn, and he immediately got up and said.
"I know! Wait a minute, I'll change my clothes...... Never mind! People's lives are at stake, and they don't change their clothes. β
So, reporter Zhang Li wore pajamas, hurriedly went downstairs with Lin Ye, got into Lin Ye's car, and rushed to Xiaozeng Village, where Zeng's family was located.
β¦β¦
In less than an hour, with Lin Ye's speed of drag racing, he quickly arrived at Xiaozeng Village.
Zeng's house is located at the head of the village, and on this sunny day, most of the people in the village have gone out to work.
Therefore, Lin Ye parked the car at the head of the village, but he couldn't see a single figure when he looked around.
"The last time I visited, it was the one on the left. I...... Shall we go over now? Will there be any danger? What if something like yesterday happens again? β
In Zhang Li's heart, there are still a lot of shadows.
Even, I had the illusion last night, and I always felt that the bloody hand was still grabbing my foot and neck.
"You stay in the car, don't come out. I'll go over and see ...... first."
The car I rented yesterday was returned later, and Lin Ye drove Jiang Dashao's red convertible sports car today.
However, for the sake of safety, Lin Ye closed the canopy and windows.
"Good! Then you...... You've been there for too long, I'm here alone, and I'm a little scared. β
After checking that the car doors were closed, Zhang Li said a little timidly.
"Rest assured. There won't be a problem. β
After getting out of the car, Lin Ye took the lead towards the courtyard of the Zeng family and threw a [scan].
[Scan failed!] There is no system owner in the vicinity of the Hunter. γ
There is only such a simple prompt tone, and there is no prompt sound for the discovery of primary zombies like yesterday.
Therefore, Lin Ye dared to leave Zhang Li alone in the car, and then went in to investigate the situation by himself.
"The system doesn't prompt that there are zombies, so there are two possibilities."
Slowly approaching the courtyard of the Zeng family, Lin Ye pondered, "The first possibility is that Zeng Quan has not completely turned into a zombie, which is very likely, after all, he has only been resurrected from the dead for a long time...... Maybe we haven't reached that tipping point yet......"
"The second possibility is that Zeng Quan has become a zombie and devoured the family. Then he quickly fled from here, so I didn't [scan] for any trace of him. β
However, when Lin Ye entered the courtyard of the Zeng family about ten meters, he smelled a strong smell of blood.
In an instant, the first possibility was ruled out by Lin Ye.
"Sure enough, we're late."
Since he was sure that the other party was no longer in the courtyard, Lin Ye didn't need to be so careful, he went directly over the wall and went in.
As expected......
There was blood in the courtyard, and the stone mill was even more exploded with blood, judging by the time...... It should be within two or three hours.
I searched the house again, but as yesterday, no body was found.
Only the stains of blood and the strong smell of blood silently tell the tragedy that happened here not long ago.
β¦β¦
On the other side, Zhang Li, who was hiding in the car, although nothing had happened now, the surroundings were a little quiet.
From the co-pilot, she wanted to turn on the music and listen to the song to relieve the tension.
But accidentally, he opened a plastic bag hidden next to the central control, and an unpleasant smell instantly overflowed inside.
"Huh? It smells bad. Who is spitting this? Don't you lose it quickly...... It's hiding in here......"
Pinching her nose, Zhang Li was a little nauseated, and quickly picked up the plastic bag, ready to get out of the car and find a trash can to throw it away.
After all, a good citizen with quality like her would never litter.
However, she had just opened the door and had not yet landed with one foot.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air......
In an instant, Zhang Li remembered what happened yesterday, and was so frightened that she quickly retracted into the car.
"Forget it! It stinks, so I tied the bag tightly and waited...... Throw it away on the way back! β
Zhang Li, who was terrified, was really frightened by the smell of blood, and kept recalling yesterday's picture in her mind.
If, yesterday, she and the cameraman Xiao Liu really walked into that house, what would they see?
If, yesterday, the two of them lifted those paper skins, what would they see?
If Lin Ye hadn't appeared in time yesterday, would her feet have been grabbed by bloody hands all the time?
β¦β¦
Thinking of this, Zhang Li was a little glad again, fortunately she met a good person, and she escaped yesterday.
But what exactly are these zombies looking for?
Isn't it ...... that his whereabouts are unknown now? Can it hurt people at any time?
couldn't help but start worrying again, feeling that the world had become particularly unsafe.
Moreover, now that the smell of blood wafted out of the courtyard of Zeng's house, Zhang Li had a bad premonition in her heart.
Probably......
Zeng Quan also became a zombie, and his family was killed.
"Who's that...... It seems like I've been in for a while. He...... Why hasn't he come back yet? β
Zhang Li's heart was pounding, hiding in the car, and she didn't dare to take half a step down at all.
After all, who knows if a bloody hand suddenly jumped out from under the car and grabbed her leg again?
"I hid in the car and protected myself, which was the biggest help to him. Don't drag him back......"
I don't even know Lin Ye's name, but Zhang Li is very convinced, Lin Ye must be a very mysterious person with the ability to destroy zombies, otherwise...... I wouldn't have been so bold as to investigate this.
I heard that there are some mysterious relevant departments in the country that specialize in dealing with these supernatural events.
Zhang Li used to think that this was made up by others and was nonsense, but now it seems to be true.
This Lin Ye may be the person in it.
With her whole body shrunk in the co-pilot's seat, Zhang Li tried to think of something else, so as to avoid the terrifying images of yesterday always appearing in her mind.
However, people are always like this, the more they try to avoid thinking about something, the more corresponding pictures will pop up in their minds.
"That bloody hand yesterday can crawl on its own...... It's horrible, it's unscientific......"
Thinking back to yesterday's picture, Zhang Li still had palpitations Zhang Li took a deep breath, raised her head and wanted to look out the car window to see the situation, why didn't Lin Ye come back?
The waiting time is always extraordinarily long, Zhang Li saw that there was nothing unusual at the door of the Zeng family's courtyard, so she pouted and turned her head.
However, when she turned her head, her eyes widened and she was horrified to see ......
A bloody zombie was lying on the windshield, with a pair of blood-red hollow eyes, staring at Zhang Li inside.
