The institute was heavily guarded as a research site for Blackpool, and although the soldiers were no longer on guard, the facilities were still functioning.

Xia Yi and Jiang Ying climbed over the wall and were stopped by the gate.

The door is an electronic door lock, and even if the little furball sneaks inside, there is no way to unlock it.

"Only the ID card can open this door, and my ID card was taken before the virus broke out." Jiang Ying looked at the door in embarrassment, "Let's go to the guardhouse first." ”

"No, you don't." Xia Yi replied.

Jiang Ying turned her head and saw Xia Yi knocking down a zombie in military uniform, and got the ID card from its pocket.

Tick –

Xia Yi swiped the card, and the door opened.

"Ah, this ......" Jiang Ying was stunned for a while, she still used the logic before the apocalypse, she wanted to go to the guardhouse to steal without an ID card, and she didn't react to take it from the zombie.

Entering the research institute, she drew inferences, found the researcher zombie and touched the card, opened the door of the corridor all the way, and used the elevator to reach the underground.

"This is it." Standing in front of the last door, Jiang Ying's expression was solemn.

The two of them pushed open the door, and the first thing they saw was a large cave space, and then a wide pool of black slime, which was gurgling and tumbling.

This is the dark pool. Xia Yi stared at the pitch-black pool surface, feeling a feeling of discomfort in his heart. The pure black, abnormally churning slime makes me feel scary just by looking at it.

Heishui seemed to feel Xia Yi and the two, flowing towards their feet, Xia Yi pulled his girlfriend back to the door.

"No, how is it possible!" Jiang Ying looked at the black pool in disbelief.

"What's wrong?" Xia Yi asked.

Jiang Ying let go of Xia Yi's hand and walked to the edge of the pond for a turn, her eyes full of consternation.

She told Xia Yi: "Although I have never seen the pond, I have heard a colleague say that the pond is only one meter wide. ”

Xia Yi looked at the black pool, which was at least ten meters wide.

"If the dark pool can grow, there's no way I can't hear the wind." Jiang Ying bit her lip, the size of the black pool is not scientific.

Xia Yi has long lost respect for science, he said: "It may be that after the outbreak of the zombie virus, the pool began to expand." ”

"How can a virus outbreak have anything to do with the size of the black pool!" Jiang Ying couldn't understand this from science. The virus comes from the dark pool, but how can there be any argument that the expansion of the virus will make the source of the virus larger?

"You can disassemble your head, so you should be bold." Xia Yi put his arm around her waist and persuaded her not to use her current shallow scientific knowledge to apply to the real world.

Jiang Ying took a deep breath and let go of the question of the black pool.

Xia Yi looked at the pond water: "Don't care about any scientific principles, think about whether you can find a way to improve human survival through this black pool." ”

He looked at his girlfriend: "You feel it." ”

Jiang Ying closed her eyes, and connected to the black pool as she controlled the consciousness of the zombies.

If the consciousness of the zombies is an empty small USB flash drive, then the consciousness of the black pool is a large hard disk full of data, and at the moment of successful connection, the data inside crashes into Jiang Ying's brain.

Seeing his girlfriend's body falling backwards, Xia Yi hurriedly hugged her.

"What's wrong?" Xia Yi could feel that Jiang Ying's body was trembling slightly.

What came from the consciousness of the black pool was a surging malice, Jiang Ying seemed to have fallen into boundless darkness, and negative emotions such as loneliness, pain, fear, and resentment washed over her brain.

After lying on Xia Yi's shoulder for five minutes, Jiang Ying regained her composure.

She let go of the hand holding Xia Yi and shook her head: "I can't affect this thing, it's ...... here"

She tried to find a suitable adjective to sum up how Blackpool felt for him, but couldn't find it for a while.

At this time, Xia Yi felt something move in his pocket, put his hand into his pocket, and he took out a pen.

Xia Yi almost forgot about this pen, and the last time he saw the pen move, he still reminded him to rescue the survivors.

This time, the pen did not point in any direction, but shook in place.

Xia Yi thought for a moment, reached out to the pen, and the tip of the pen swiped on his palm, and wrote two words: 'despair'.

Xia Yi and Jiang Ying glanced at each other.

"What does that mean?" Jiang Ying asked.

"We're talking about the black pool, and we should be talking about this pool." Xia Yi looked at the black slime.

He thought to himself that the previous pen pointed to the survivors, according to his understanding, because the survivors were in a desperate situation and faced despair, and now it seemed that his guess was not wrong.

This black pool, is it absorbing despair in the growth?

"Weeper," the pen wrote these three words again.

"The Weeper is a manifestation of despair?" Xia Yi thought of the mournful cry of the weeper.

The pen didn't answer, it moved again, this time it turned, and it turned to the back of Xia Yi.

"Let's go, go over and have a look." Xia Yi and Jiang Ying followed the guidance, all the way through the corridor full of zombies, and arrived at the place.

Pushing open the door, they saw a weeping man.

The pen is pointed directly at the weeper?

"Isn't this a point to the survivors, and now to the weepers?" Jiang Ying was equally surprised.

"Anyway, let's get rid of it first." Xia Yi said.

He was just about to call the little furball when Jiang Ying jumped over and kicked the weeping one, unscrewing off its head.

The weeper's shrill cry echoed, and the little furball took out the black mist, threw away the crying head, and left the institute with his parents.

The pen points in another direction.

Following the guidance, Xia Yi found a weeper again, and it seemed that this one had now become a weeper sensor.

The Weeper can become a mother, allowing ordinary zombies to evolve, and solving the Weeper is blocking the path for zombies to evolve again, which is very important for survivors in the city.

For the peace of the city, Xia Yi and Jiang Ying worked overtime.

……

A week later.

Xia Yi and Jiang Ying followed the guidance and came to an old community.

The community is not large, there are more than 20 buildings in total, the walls of the buildings are mottled, and there are many zombies shaking on the road.

In the sixth-floor room of one of the buildings, an emaciated middle-aged man was lying on the bed, he was not asleep, he had no expression on his face, he was just looking at the roof.

As the minutes ticked by, the sunlight outside the window slowly moved, shining on his face, and his cheeks moved.

He sat up, stepped barefoot on the floor, and walked to the kitchen. When he opened the refrigerator, he finally had a hint of surprise on his face.

There was no food in the fridge.

yes, he ran out of food two days ago.

Closing the refrigerator door, he glanced at the medicine bottle by the sink and walked out onto the balcony.

Downstairs, seven zombies stood sluggishly.

He suddenly smiled, and the expressions of these zombies were actually the same as the ones he had seen in the mirror in the morning.

After laughing, he pushed open the window and leaned out.

It's over.

"Wait!" Xia Yi entered the house, saw this scene, and hurriedly stopped it.

The man turned his head to look at Xia Yi, there was no surprise in his eyes that other survivors saw his companion, he turned his head and continued to lean out.

"Let's take a look at the goods first, don't be in a hurry to leave." Xia Yi said again.

He looked at the middle-aged man, wondering why the pen pointed at the weeping man suddenly pointed at the survivor again.

The man hesitated for two seconds and asked, "What goods?" ”

"Snacks and staples are all available." Xia Yi opened the zipper of his satchel, and when he killed the corpse, he would also help the survivors by the way.

"Is there any wine?" The middle-aged man asked.

Is this going to tell a story?

Xia Yi was happy to hear it: "You wait three minutes, I'll bring it immediately." ”
