Chapter 36: Diary
Thinking that Zhang Yan had found something, the hamster screamed and pounced on the office in horror.
And Zhang Yan took the opportunity to slash the hamster's neck.
With a knife, the hamster's head fell to the ground, and the bones rolled several times.
After confirming that the hamster was dead, Zhang Yan turned to look at the office.
What exactly is hidden there? How do you make this hamster so concerned?
Zhang Yan decided to check it out.
She swallows a nucleus, replenishing the abilities she consumed.
She walked straight over, her compound eyes not closing just to be on the safe side.
However, there was nothing unusual in the entire office.
Zhang Yan only saw that only half of the desk in the center of the office was left, and there was a pile of wood chips more than one meter high in the corner, which seemed to be made by the hamsters themselves by chewing the wooden furniture in the house.
Zhang Yan cautiously approached the sawdust and fiddled with it with a long knife to see if there was anything hidden inside.
In the end, Zhang Yan only found a man's body from the sawdust.
The man's body was dry, covered with skin and bones, without any moisture, as if he had been hungry for a long time before dying, and the body was still fresh, and he should have died less than three days ago.
Zhang Yan was a little confused.
That ferocious giant hamster is only protecting a corpse?
Is it using this corpse as its food?
Zhang Yan glanced at the male corpse holding a notebook tightly in his hand, and she thought that she might be able to find some answers from it.
Holding the notebook in her hand and flipping through it, Zhang Yan found that this was a diary-
"Day 1: Someone contracted the virus and the whole office was in chaos, I hid in this office and the locked door saved me. On the radio, we were told to hold on for three days, and I don't know if I can make it to that day. ”
"Day 2: It looks like someone turned on the security system last night, it's really bad news, we can't escape if we want to. What to do? ”
"Day 3: Keep going, someone will come to our rescue. Today, Xiao Zhang's hamster came in through the ventilation pipe, and I used to think that she was a plaything with this kind of pet in the office, but now, it has become a lifesaver for me. I don't have anything to eat here, only water, and if I didn't have this little thing with me, I'd probably go crazy, right? ”
From the fourth day onwards, the handwriting on the diary began to be somewhat distorted, and the emotions revealed by those words became more and more uncool-
"Day 4: I'm going crazy with hunger. I went out and got some snacks that Xiao Zhang stored in the drawer, I really thank Zhang Mengying, I used to laugh at her for being a foodie, but now it seems that it is good to be a foodie. However, the whole floor is full of zombies! Moreover, no one came to save us! Not a single one! The radio outside was playing about the safe zone, but they forgot about us! What am I going to do...... I don't know ......."
"Day 5: The hamster has also eaten up its rat food, it is very hungry, it runs out to find food for itself, and when I come back, I see that it has half of its fingers stuffed in its mouth. Is it scary? Should I feel scary? I'm dying. ”
"Day 6: I also learned from hamsters, I went to catch a zombie to eat, it didn't taste good, I vomited for a long time. It's better to starve to death than to eat that. ”
"Day 7: Xiao Zhang is really not a good employee, he is secretly drawing comics during working hours, I found it in her desk, the drawing is quite interesting, it makes me laugh, but I don't know why, I laughed and laughed and cried. Fortunately, the hamster has always been with me, I am not alone, it has grown bigger and bigger, but it has never attacked me, very well-behaved, probably because I have been feeding it with rat food. ”
"The first day? I don't remember either...... I don't have the strength to write anymore...... If anyone can see this diary, help me convey it to Zhang Mengying, thank her for what she left behind, and accompany me through the most difficult days. As a manager, I used to fall behind her by a level above her, which was my fault. Thank you, my name is Huangshan. ”
The diary of just a few hundred words made Zhang Yan feel how desperate the diary writer was in the past few days.
She was a little panicked.
Because, she remembered that on the love letter she came to pick up, it was written "Zhang Mengying's book, Huangshan personally opened".
If you come here a few days earlier, or if Huangshan can find some food to boil for a few more days, this love letter ...... Maybe it will be delivered to him.
If Huangshan could flip through Zhang Mengying's drawer and turn over this book, maybe he would be able to know Zhang Mengying's mind.
Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs.
Zhang Yan sandwiched the love letter in this dying diary and put it in her personal pocket to hide it.
She closed her compound eyes, changed into clean socks, put on her leather boots, and went back to check the hamster's corpse to see if there was a crystal nucleus in the body.
Fortunately, Zhang Yan really found a crystal nucleus embedded in its flesh in its cheek pouch!
This crystal nucleus is not the same as the crystal nucleus she saw on the humanoid zombie.
The hamster's crystal nucleus is much larger than the humanoid second-level zombie crystal nucleus, the size of a cherry, and the crystal nucleus liquid inside is colorful, blue, purple, and yellow are mixed together, which is very magnificent.
Zhang Yan didn't know what this huge hamster was, and of course the crystal nucleus that came out of it didn't dare to eat it, so she put it away and prepared to let Yan Zhuo take a look after she went back.
Breaking the glass, Zhang Yan climbed the wall again, all the way to the seventeenth floor.
Because she already understood the general structure of the building, Zhang Yan calculated the windows when she climbed up, and when she climbed to the seventeenth floor, she accurately found the window of 1724.
Entering the room, Zhang Yan found that this was a small apartment that could be seen at a glance.
She quickly followed the prompts on the task list and found the family photo album in the drawer of the closet.
Throwing away the heavy crystal album, Zhang Yan pulled out the photos inside and put them in her personal pocket.
This time, she encountered no danger and climbed back to the ground.
Back on the ground, Zhang Yan saw several other people downstairs greeting her, even the blade wagging its tail.
Zhang Yan landed steadily on the ground, gasped and rested for a while, and then she briefly said what happened to her inside.
Hearing that Zhang Yan had killed a huge hamster, Yan Zhuo frowned, and the smile on his face froze:
"You actually encountered a strange beast? Also got the alien beast crystal nucleus? You don't know if it's good or bad luck. ”
Zhang Yan motioned with her eyes for him to continue explaining.
Yan Zhuo sighed, a little afraid:
"If an animal eats the meat of a zombie, it also has a certain chance of evolving, but instead of evolving into a second-level zombie, it evolves into a strange beast.
As we all know, human beings can stand in the natural world because of human intelligence, but human physique is actually very poor in nature, not much better than meat insects.
Sick humans can become so powerful after evolving into second-level zombies, so imagine how terrifying they would be if animals with physical fitness many times better than humans became as big as humans and were also strengthened? You're lucky to have survived that hamster.
The Alien Beast Crystal Nucleus can be fed to the same kind of animal, so that the same type of animal also has a chance to evolve and become as strong as the alien beast you killed, and it can also be domesticated into your pet, just listen to you.
Because alien beasts are rare, and alien beast crystal nuclei are even rarer, this kind of thing is very precious. ”
Zhang Yan took out the alien beast crystal nucleus she got and looked at the sun:
"So if I find a hamster, I'll probably have a pet as strong as I just now?"
Yan Zhuo smiled:
"The success rate is about 1 in 3."
The one-third success rate is quite tempting.
Zhang Yan is going to try it after returning to the safe zone.
Looking back at the Venus Building, Zhang Yan actually wanted to take a group of people to clean the Venus Building thoroughly, so that she would definitely be able to harvest a lot of crystal nuclei.
It's just that how the others get in is a problem, at least, this time there is no way to go to the Venus Building to carefully clean up the zombies.
Zhang Yan no longer worries about the Venus Building.
She led the team to search for second-level zombies near the Venus Building, and gradually, they became farther and farther away from the Venus Building.
……
This time, Zhang Yan and the others deliberately stayed outside for a long time.
Anyway, Zhang Yan has a space ring, plenty of food, and on the way, she also emptied a few supermarkets that had not been looted, and added a lot of resources, enough for the four of them plus a dog to use for several years.
Zhang Yan and the others got a total of seventy-eight crystal nuclei outside, and killed at least more than two hundred second-level zombies.
Counting the time, nearly a month has passed.
These days, Blade is strongly stimulated, hanging his tail every day, and has little energy.
Blade's intelligence is equivalent to that of a three- or four-year-old child, and it probably understands that the second-level zombie is too powerful, and it can't help its master anymore, which makes it feel very frustrated.
Zheng Ziye also felt that the blade was too reluctant, and he decided not to bring the blade out next time, until he found the canine alien beast crystal nucleus and turned the blade into a beast, but it was possible to continue to bring it out.
Zhang Yan really wanted to fight like this forever.
With one less second-level zombie, the entire Bohai City will be a little safer, and they also have a chance to get the crystal nucleus, so why not?
Yan Zhuo can no longer spoil the plot of the post-apocalyptic world, and Zhang Yan can only take one step at a time.
Perhaps killing zombies won't turn the tide, but at least it will give the safe zone more breathing time.
After another week of killing, Zhang Yan decided to go back to the safe zone.
Because Bai Lan's spirit could not support it at first, after fighting for more than a month, she felt very tired and frightened, and urgently needed to find a safe place to rest wholeheartedly.
There's always a lot of fear outside, and there's only a safe zone where they can get a good night's sleep.
Realizing this, Zhang Yan began to walk back with a few people.
