Chapter 52: Corpse Cocoon - Dormant Chamber
As the man and dog disappeared into the thatch, Nameless and 9527 followed, pushing aside the grass, and were really shocked by the sight in front of them.
Beyond the grass is a sunken valley with small puddles due to its low terrain, which makes the landscape resemble a swamp, but not to that extent.
In this damp and slippery environment, there were a few large and small ovoid objects scattered slightly densely, the largest of which was two stories high, the smallest one or two meters, and in the middle of the swamp, there was an incomparably large egg, which was comparable to that of the Titan.
The surface of all the eggs was covered with a layer of dark black flesh and blood, and dense tubular protrusions spread all over the body, as if there was a pulse, one by one, one by one, one by one.
9527 and the nameless duo lay in the grass, carefully observing, although this kind of scene can already be guessed, but they still have to see the situation first.
I saw that the skinny zombie walked straight towards a medium-sized egg, and his dog roared and barked around him, but it couldn't stop anything, when there were still more than ten meters left, the egg trembled slightly, and its fleshy surface material slowly cracked a small opening, until it expanded enough to accommodate the zombie.
Without hesitation, the zombie stepped up and rushed over, and the dog was obviously aware of the danger, and bit the owner's trouser leg tightly, so pulled and pulled, and finally dragged the zombie down, but couldn't stop him from desperately crawling forward, so struggling for a few minutes, the zombie finally touched the egg-like object, when he touched it with one hand, the crack began to squirm inward, as if chewing, and pulled the zombie in, together with the dog that would not let go, inhaled the sticky flesh and blood tissue.
Seeing the ending, the two slowly withdrew from the grass, cautiously returned the same way, and only dared to speak when they had reached a distance.
''It's a zombie in the egg, right?'' Looks like it's like hibernation? ''
''Definitely.'' Nameless patted the dirt on his body and replied, lying in the grass before and not daring to make a sound, and naturally he couldn't do anything else to make a sound.
''I remember an expert suggesting that humans retreat to the ground and wait a few years for zombies to starve to death on their own, but it doesn't seem to work. ''
''Still retreating underground?'' It's not without zombies that can dig holes. ''
"Then clad in an iron wall or something, anyway, in the underground, those big zombies can't do anything." ''
''Then you're afraid you've forgotten the acid, the zombie's acid......''
……
After staying away from the corpse cocoon area, the two began to play poor again, as if nothing had happened, after all, zombies will hibernate, what does it matter to them, as long as there is no one, no one will move the corpse cocoon at all, just let the zombies sleep all the time, so it is also worry-free, their well water does not violate the river water.
The two of them didn't care about the conversation just now, but in fact, there were a few sentences in the conversation just now that they really guessed it. There are a group of people who really don't know that zombies hibernate and that this change is very important to them. At this moment, at the soles of the feet of the two, several kilometers deep underground, rows of dormant chambers are flashing colorful lights in the dark, judging from the numbers beating on the display screen, the humans sleeping in them are very healthy.
