"Xiao Hei, say hello to your uncle and aunt."

The clerk of the hometown chicken smiled, Zhang Xizhong sat in the innermost seat, Chi Yu was further inside than him, which meant that he made the front half of the leather chair, Chi Yu hid behind him, and grabbed his shoulders to show his little head. Zhang Xizhong couldn't summon Song Jinlan back in front of her, just when he said that there was a pet hospital that seemed to have hairy children locked up there, this person's family was big and small, he would be most distressed, and he went with the equipment. didn't say to report to the organization, anyway, Zhang Xizhong was carrying him around.

So now, Zhang Xizhong had to sit opposite a zombie and listen to the clerk's introduction. In fact, this kind of restaurant on the edge of the security zone that is still open as usual, he should have thought of it a long time ago - it is strange that there is no special way to do these things on the ground.

So he said, "It's okay to call me uncle, but she's still very young, so call me sister." ”

Chi Yu: "Hey, who wants to be called sister by a zombie!" And its vocal cords have rotted away!! ”

However, although the face of this mourner is a little rotten, the clothes on his body are very clean, one by one, and the buttons are still well buttoned. This is where Chi Yu focuses on observing, she has already begun to look at her own learning materials, and knows that the appearance of zombies has changed to corruption, which means that the infection has reached the next stage, which is called the "second stage". At this time, the main body has been confirmed to be completely dead, its limb joints are stiff, and it can't make such a delicate movement as buttoning the button, there must be someone alive who buttoned it for him, she couldn't help but grab Zhang Xizhong's clothes and fabric, isn't the clerk afraid? It's a corpse.

There were a few stains on the large floor-to-ceiling windows, which had just been clear, and now another clerk had wiped them clean, and she had also closed several curtains facing the street at the same time. Now it's okay, Zhang Xizhong and Chi Yu are silently thinking in their hearts, eating a meal and parting with life and death, because in the safety zone, one of them did not bring a gun, the other did not have an exoskeleton, and the only set of equipment that could be used was prying the door of the pet hospital on the anti-theft roller shutter.

The clerk standing with the zombie looked to be in his twenties, although he was at a certain distance from Ah Fu, but his eyes were very close. He explained that the zombie turned out to be a waiter in the store, a colleague of theirs, who was infected when he stayed after work to clean the store, and the boss felt very sorry for it, so he discussed with it every day, "Let's not eat people, okay?" Shall I let the kitchen stew chicken soup for you to drink? ”

didn't let this funeral go out to wander with other zombies, and when the clerks saw that it was leaving, they rushed back and walked around the store. "Don't say it, it really seems to be able to understand, although sometimes it's scary to be hungry and angry, but now there are more and more times to be in a daze, and it's good to stay in the store with us, and today is probably an unfamiliar guest......"

Chi Yu heard him talk about the guests, and asked the question in his heart: "Yes, if there is a zombie in your store, what should the guests do?" ”

The clerk said that there are very few people who are willing to come out to eat on the ground now, most of them are nearby, because the restaurants specially approved by the government now have green purchase channels, so they have become everyone's kitchen. Chi Yu understood: "Borrow your pot and eat together, so I will also help you keep this secret." ”

Zhang Xizhong wanted to take out his mobile phone to take a little photo and send it back to the headquarters, but he heard the clerk say that this Ah Fu is really obedient, and he only drinks chicken soup and eats nothing else, "Sir, madam, I hope you can help us with this...... Don't report it to the government, we don't know if it will lose the little black ......"

Chi Yu finally looked at the mass of things next to her, it didn't matter, they could all stay with it for at least twenty days, she just took a look-gag! Zhang Xizhong stretched out a hand and pressed her head down, crying and laughing, "Can you see this, just be strong." ”

"I can't help it. Moreover, do you have a relationship with the agency......" Chi Yu remembered that Zhang Xizhong said about building an underground passage "wormhole", and she had to ask clearly, "Will you tell them about it?" ”

At that glance just now, Chi Yu really couldn't see its original appearance from the face that was already black and blue, festering and rotten, and he couldn't see any emotion, and he could trust that it was not aggressive. However, when she looked around at this storefront, which was still very clean in the last days, she couldn't help but think that it was once the person who stood here, and although it was now such a monster, her former colleagues could still give it a place to live, cook chicken soup for it to drink, and help it button up its clothes. I don't know how their clerks do it, and the feelings between everyone and everyone can't be felt by outsiders. Chi Yu thought.

Zhang Xizhong didn't answer her, but answered the clerk: "Okay, I promise you won't report it to the relevant departments, but I'm sorry, this meal is not suitable for us anymore." ”

After that, Chi Yu walked outside with Chi Yu behind him, and left a business card, saying that if you really encounter any difficulties and don't want to ask the police for help, you can call this number.

Before leaving, Chi Yu looked back at the little black, who was squatting on the sofa and using two straight hands to make instant noodles in the old hen soup they ordered. The clerk stood by and watched it, because the curtains had been drawn before, and the light was dim, and she couldn't see the clerk's expression.

"Bamboo bamboo ~"

"Huh?" Zhang Xizhong stood at the door biting a glove, and Chi Yu showed him whether the car was coming. "Bamboo, what number did you give him, yours? Are you going to help them out of danger? ”

Zhang Xizhong finally put one on, this new type of protective clothing is really difficult to wear, usually Song Jinlu helps him, but now he ...... He glanced at Chi Yu and felt that he didn't dare to ask her to help wear the equipment. Well, but it's kind of pleasant to think about it.

"That's not my phone, it's the mayor's secretary, and his office is close to here."

Chi Yu: "......"

Chi Yu: "Didn't you promise not to tell the relevant departments?" ”

Zhang Xi thought that no matter what the clerk had just told him, it was no different from surrendering. He had to remember that after eating with Chi Yu and sending her home, he had to go back to the office to write a report, and immediately let someone come over to investigate. As for Chi Yu, she just told her some things, so that she could protect herself when she went out in the future.

"It's not like the clerk said at all, with chicken soup and companionship, you can influence a zombie and let it live well with people. The infection has entered the second stage, and the host has died, and they live with a dead person all day long, and the danger is very great. Zhang Xi said seriously, he had already sent a recall order to Song Jinlan, asking him to weigh which was more important, him or the kitten.

"Do you know what the second phase of zombies means?" He asked.

Chi Yu was stunned: "I want to hear it...... What are the details? ”

Zhang Xizhong began to explain to her that the first phase, the second phase and the third phase are used to distinguish the stages of the main characteristics of zombies after the human body is infected with the virus. Last time, he also said that when encountering a large batch of zombies, he would quickly determine their infection stage, most of them were in the first and second phases, wandering the streets, unaware.

"At the beginning of the first phase of infection, which we also call 'symbiotes', most people don't die at this time, they just lose consciousness and become zombies. Because the body is still alive and the movement is still very dexterous, it is aggressive and infectious, and the initial big ...... The tide of corpses is very likely to have erupted in this way. ”

Chi Yu nodded, she knew, but she was even more impressed when she heard others talk about it again. It's not surprising that Zhang Xizhong has this knowledge at all, after all, he is a strange man who doesn't even forget to take a little girl to fight zombies on a blind date, maybe do you want to ask him one day if he can join her organization? No, don't think about it, can he look at such a job?

"After about twenty to thirty days of infection, the host dies and the zombies become the second stage. At this time, this person is dead, so the appearance looks like the body is rotten, slow, sluggish, and sluggish, and if you give it a kick at this time, it will not look back at you, and it will not be able to turn back. ”

"So the last time you took me to fight, were those who came into the city to avoid the typhoon in the second phase?" Chi Yu immediately thought of the mourners who he had lit up at that time, listening to him like a fool, and trying to recall their physical characteristics in his mind.

Zhang Xizhong shook his head and told her that a large number of zombies were mostly in the first phase, and almost never reached the second phase. However, he reminded her to pay attention to one point, "So, in the mouth of the clerk, that zombie has a lot of time in a daze, stay in the store with them well, and have a docile personality, it's not that this zombie has adapted to life with people, but it has been transformed from the first phase to the second phase." In what he tells and observes, this is the typical zombie change process, there is no love, no feelings, and no miracles, Chi Yu. ”

Zhang Xizhong said.

"That little black is dead, he died completely, and the one who accompanied his former colleague was ......"

Chi Yu looked very sad, she wanted to go back a little, but was stopped by Zhang Xizhong again, telling her that the zombies in the second phase are indeed low in activity and less aggressive, and the clerks are not in danger for the time being, and he will deal with it well when he turns around and tells the professionals to come over.

"Then you also agree to help them keep it secret," Chi Yu tugged at his sleeve, feeling a little depressed.

"So, I promised, if you are unlucky if you don't talk about it, you can also pour it on my head." Zhang Xi raised his hand to arrange the protective suit for her and buttoned the last button. He noticed Chi Yu's depression, so he tried his best to pull the topic back: "Do you want to know why the one we met before is not the second phase of the first phase?" ”

Chi Yu wanted to know a little, as soon as Zhang Xizhong took a step, she unconsciously followed a few steps. It turned out that the car drove over, and I always felt that there seemed to be a kitten's voice, so I asked the driver and said that I bought a pet.

"I'll talk to you when you get in the car, come on." Zhang Xizhong said, "There are some behavioral characteristics that need to be referred to other ......"

"That's right!" Chi Yu was fascinated by what he heard, and only remembered halfway through the hearing, "Where are we going?" ”

"My family," Zhang Xizhong laughed, this little girl is too easy to abduct.

"Which home are you? Yes, is there a home with a sister-in-law? Xiao Chiyu's eyes were full of tears when he met the scumbag monster. Zhang Xizhong had a headache when he heard it, and there was this stubble. Well...... How to explain, "It's not my home, it's my dad's home." One...... The castle is a hundred years old, and there is a birch tree planted in front of the door, which was once planted by my dad on a business trip, and the kid driving in front of him was going to touch the first branch of his hat, and took it home and planted it. ”

Song Jin's scaly teeth were about to crush.
