Chapter 37: Attack on the Dead City (5)
"Since then, there have been people missing among our soldiers, no matter how strict our prevention and control is, there are always people missing, so far, the number of missing troops has reached one hundred and twenty-nine, seven months ago, the first batch of corpses transported from City C began to have abnormal conditions, scientists called the second awakening, those corpses at first showed a mild and quiet state, no pain, no need to eat, like a plant motionless."
A full-body photo, half-length photo, and recent photo of a corpse appeared on the electronic screen at the front of everyone, and the corpse's thin and deformed body was in a quiet posture, with its head slightly tilted in the direction of the viewer, so that the gray-white eyes were facing everyone.
There was a low discussion sound from below, even those masters couldn't help but be surprised, Bai Tang couldn't help but widen his eyes, those eyes that didn't shine, he just happened to see.
"Five months ago, the test subject initially showed aggressiveness, the black fog in that city spread twenty meters outside, the infrared thermal life detector detected signs of life, and there were irregular sound waves in City C, confirming that there were living creatures inside."
"A month ago, the black fog on the periphery of City C had spread a hundred meters around, and after strict deployment and investigation, we sent a team of special forces, a total of fifteen people, equipped with top-level armor and weapons, and two came back, seriously injured and unconscious, and the wound was a tear and bite, and it didn't survive. But they brought back an important piece of information, that there were living people in City C. ”
The picture on the electronic screen turned, and a messy video began to play, the video shook very much, the person who shot must be running at extreme speed, only a few dozen seconds, the sound was very mixed, as if there were many people shouting, and there was a rough wheezing of the photographer in the video, he said while running: "In the center of City C, there are a large number of imprisoned living people, huh~~huh~ There are a large number of live people...... They.... Whew~~Whew~ I'm eating people, asking for help, asking for help.... Thorn, bang! ”
"Ahh Suddenly, a shrill woman's scream came from the video, and the explosion thundered in everyone's ears.
The video feed came to an abrupt end.
"Two weeks ago, we sent a mixed team, including special forces, scientific researchers, and cultivators, a total of fifteen people, to be wiped out, and their satellite tracking instruments were also shielded by unknown objects, and no information was sent back."
Everyone gasped and vaguely guessed something.
Feng Jianbing was silent for a little longer, and only after everyone's emotions stabilized did he continue: "During this time, we tried to talk to the creatures inside, but to no avail, the sophisticated electronic surveillance around the city only captured a few blurred shadows, and the figure was human, but.... This is another type of life that is clearly different from humans, and we call it the "living dead". ”
"In addition, we conducted a key investigation of the missing persons, during which we found that several cities centered on City C have successively had 'cannibalism' cases and human disappearances, and we speculated that the creatures inside had moved. And the focus is on Yuxiang Town and Fengrao Town, which are closest to City C, and almost all the residents in the town have disappeared, and you must have heard of these news. We also found the shadows of the living dead in the nearby Yuxiang Town, Fengrao Town, etc., the core of which pointed directly to City C, and the number of missing people counted was - 123,647, an error of about 200. ”
His hand pressed twice more, and several corpses appeared on the electronic screen, and the contrast between those corpses was very obvious, some were in a dry state, and only skin and bones were left in the body, looking like plants that had lost water and nutrients, and some were in a thin state, and their bodies were blue-gray with death, as if they were people who had been malnourished for a long time.
Feng Jianbing didn't speak, it seemed to give everyone time to digest the information, Bai Tang looked at the picture of the corpse on it, and his heart was shocked, he was sure that this was the kind of living dead he had seen in City A.
If City C is full of such living dead...... He pursed his lips slightly, shuddering a little at the thought of Ji Yuan's appearance as a living person and the intelligent behavior he showed.
Those living dead people have just sat down in a shocking case in City A, which has caused the network of City A to be almost completely paralyzed, and the people of the whole country have shown great concern about the major bloodshed in the mental hospital, if everything in City C escapes, it will be the end of ordinary people.
Feng Jianbing's mechanically cold and hard voice continued to sound, bringing still bad news, he said: "We have compared and integrated the information on the recent major cannibal cases, and the results show that these people died in different ways, but they all had bite marks on their bodies, that is to say, the deceased were all attacked by a humanoid creature, and the reason for attacking humans was to eat. We compared the time of death of all the deceased, which was basically between 12 p.m. and 4 a.m., and we speculated that their main time of activity was at night. ”
The picture on the electronic screen changed again, showing the death status of several deceased.
Bai Tang looked at the bloody picture above, and his mind automatically made up for the situation in the Shuguang Mental Hospital, and he suddenly felt a little sick to his stomach.
If the living dead are evil, then what is disturbing the peace of the dead and making them still unat peace after death?
"Smack!"
The light in the room suddenly turned on, Feng Jianbing put down the remote control in his hand, looked around at the group of Taoist masters below, and said: "I believe that the masters have their own opinions on this matter, now we have a ninety percent probability, there are a large number of living dead who have been awakened for the second time in City C, and there are 20,000 people who have been imprisoned, I don't know if you have a good way to rescue the hostages?" ”
"Amitabha, this is not a living being! The resentful soul is reluctant to leave the body, and there is a long-term nourishment of the yin qi that is not condensed, this is the corpse of the human world. A man in a shabby monk's robe folded his hands together, lowered his eyes slightly, and whispered.
The deceased does not know that he is dead, the soul is still attached to the body, and the body function has died, but under the guidance of the soul consciousness, life as usual, but the temperament will become more and more violent, until the soul is completely lost, becoming a bloody and cruel evil, instinctively absorbing the yang energy of the living to make up for itself.
It is a higher existence among the ghosts, but it is definitely not a corpse, I can't say why, Bai Tang felt that it was not, Ji Yuan who attacked them last time was too sober, even if he didn't say a word, but Bai Tang's beastly keen intuition told him that Ji Yuan was conscious.
"No, that's not right! Corpses don't devour human flesh, they're not corpses! A gray-haired old man looked solemn, shook his head slowly, and said: "This kind of living dead, Lao Dao has lived for more than fifty years, and he has never seen it, but those eyes are dead eyes. ”
"What dead people's eyes, living people's eyes, things that are already dead, don't rot well and come out to make trouble, this is a lack of cleanup, everyone shoots together, and it's overdone. The point is that there are so many people, so many people, what is this to do? The purpose behind this is frightening. ”
"No, you didn't catch the core, these dead people started to be weird five months after the destruction of the city, behind this..... I'm afraid that something is adding fuel to the fire. ”
“....”
Old Man Zhao, who had been listening to those people talking for a long time, proposed: "What's the use of guessing here, let's go, go and see that city!" ”
These people are basically old people, Feng Jianbing didn't dare to agree to this proposal, he said: "Don't worry, at this moment, you masters can rest for one night first, and it's not too late to go tomorrow morning." ”
Old Man Zhao said: "No, if the situation is as severe as you said, then the things in the city have already shown a tendency to spread outward, delay this night, I don't know how much I have to run out, go!" Let's go and ban that place first, and don't let the contents come out again! And the people in there must also be rescued as soon as possible. ”
Several other people chimed in, even though it hadn't happened for a day or two, but since they had already arrived, there was no reason for them to indulge in the silent expansion of the thing.
Bai Tang's face turned pale, he thought about those who had disappeared, and suddenly a very absurd idea popped up, and this idea frightened him pale.
