Chapter 33: Mutant Zombies

"That one went to the lake again."

"It seems to be getting bigger again."

"It's a meter taller than before."

"What should we do?"

When several people stood behind the window and watched the direction of the zombies in the square, it was already the third day after eating the mutant fish.

At this time, Li Jin was able to recover, and the second evolution gave him one more ability. Unlike the previous malaise, his body was still weak, but his eyes were shining.

It's the covert excitement of gaining greater powers. Although Bai Xuan's psychological feelings were taken into account - she still did not have any ability, this emotion was still involuntarily revealed in her behavior. If he faced the fire-type ability evolver sent by the Taoist priest of the church, he didn't think he would be as embarrassed as he was last time.

"I'll try it first."

As he spoke, Li Jincai had an extra fireball in his hand, which was smaller than the one released before, but it looked hotter and more threatening.

They were at the window of a room on the fourth floor at the moment, and from the visual distance, they were about fifty meters away from the zombie, but the fireball still hit the big man lying on the edge of the lake with unmistakable accuracy.

The skin of the zombies is very dry, and they are extremely afraid of fire, so it stands to reason that they will burn at one point.

However, the zombie - the power zombie I saw when I blew up the fish pond before, the one with the steel gray helmet on its head - has a much taller body because of eating the mutated fish. The blue suits that used to resemble workers' jobs have completely cracked apart, revealing a film-like layer of skin on the chest, reflecting a multicolored hue in the sunlight - it is clearly fused with the scales of mutant fish.

What is worrying is that Li Jincai's attack just now only burned the fabric on the zombie's body under the obstruction of this scale, and it was thrown casually.

The mutant zombie didn't pay any attention to the attack, and continued to lie on the water's edge, scooping something into his hand.

All in all, after eating the mutant fish, the zombie became a tricky existence that was not afraid of flames.

This undoubtedly hit Li Jincai, and his face suddenly sank: "Since it is not afraid of fire, it may be afraid of water." Why don't you try it? ”

Among everyone's abilities, only Li Jincai and Zhao Zhixuan are remote.

Zhao Zhixuan is a water-based ability, which is not as fancy as in movies and television. Although he is proficient, he can already compress the condensed water into a water bomb and shoot it out as a weapon, that is, at an ultra-long distance, the accuracy of the water bomb can already be controlled. But the water bomb is only a deterrent to humans who are afraid of pain, let alone zombies who don't feel pain at all.

"It probably won't work." But even so, Zhao Zhixuan still condensed several water bombs and hit the target.

As everyone thought, the water still couldn't hurt it, and the scale-like skin didn't even show signs of wetness.

Bai Xuan was inevitably a little disappointed and said, "As long as the hotel door is opened, it will detect it." Are we going to hide here all our lives? ”

It's good if you can hide for the rest of your life, but unfortunately those things in the kitchen tunnel don't allow it.

It only took two days for them to spread to the third floor.

Luckily, they only hide in the drain and don't come out unless there's a movement.

However, the people did not dare to use the toilet and sink at all, and had to go to the higher rooms to live.

"There can be no further delay. If this zombie evolves again, it will be able to discover us. We need to get out of here. "This mutant zombie is different from ordinary zombies, and it already has a certain concept of territory.

Like the African lion on the grasslands, it patrols its territory at all times. Once it finds a different breath, it will run out to drive away or eat the enemy as soon as possible.

Several people were condescending, and they had seen this zombie solve a single zombie that accidentally wandered over several times. As if it had been offended by its dignity, once this mutant zombie spotted an intruder in its own territory, it would not use the traditional pounce, but would rush directly to it, lift the opponent high in the air, and then tear it to pieces. This is also the reason why Bai Xuan and Qin Meifei hate zombies, and in their disgusting expectations, "they actually killed each other." They still maintain the instinctive innocence of human nature, but in fact, they are human beings, and they are essentially no different from zombies.

Of course, the ferocity of this zombie is also used on mutated animals. Count a few basketball-sized rats that come out of the ground and snatch the corpse of the mutant fish, which is pinched directly in its hands and turned into scraps.

Hu Chun, as Zhao Zhixuan's colleague, an intern officer who also belongs to a mysterious organization, has a more delicate heart than ordinary people in addition to defense.

Although he smiled, he revealed a black hole with two missing front teeth, because of this, Qin Meifei wanted to hide as soon as she saw him, but she had to admit that he was a thick and fine man. At least the scope of the field of detecting zombies is what he proposed.

And the test results surprised them all - the territory of the mutant zombies included most of the Pearl Square and the surrounding radiating roads, with the lake where the mutant fish was located as the center, spanning a circle with a radius of 50 meters.

Strictly speaking, part of the hotel where they are located, as well as the entrance to the factory area opposite where there may be buses, are within the radiation. Probably because they were in a high-rise room, they weren't spotted by it. But it's obvious that this thing is vaguely aware of something, and will unconsciously move closer to the location of the hotel. Several times it feels like it's aware of their presence from time to time.

"We're ready, we'll meet in ten minutes." Hu Chundao.

Knowing that Jiang Ji was going to go out of the city, Hu Chun, who also planned to do so, invited her to go with her.

Bai Xuan and Li Jincai did not choose to leave, they planned to go to the Mary's Church, maybe Gao Qiang was still there.

Even if you are dead, you will see the corpse.

Although there are some deviations in their respective plans, it is true that they all need transportation tools at the moment.

There are a lot of cars parked in front of and behind the 4 star hotel. But no one has a key, and there is no level of car thief. I had to stare dryly. They pinned their hopes on the shuttle bus that picked up and dropped off employees at the factory area opposite, and generally in their back office, there would be a spare key to the vehicle.

After learning that the hotel was also within the territory of this mutant zombie and had seen its methods of dealing with intruders, these people did not think of confronting it directly. Considering Li Jincai's condition, Hu Chuncai was willing to wait two more days for him to wake up.

Now that Li Jin finally woke up, seeing his ability, Hu Chun's eyes lit up and invited them to go north together.

Their organization needs people with special abilities to join. Their previous mission was to escort Evolvers with scarce abilities back to the Order.

But Li Jincai still refused. He said he couldn't live up to his friends.

Hu Chun was not reluctant. Everyone has their own plans. What's more, the end of the world has come, the human body has changed, and people with special abilities are no longer as rare as in peacetime. Maybe when the time comes, I will meet a better organization.

"Can we go through the back door?" Zuo Tianyou shouted a piece of mint candy in his mouth and said.

Zhao Zhixuan glanced at him with a mentally handicapped look.

The back door of the hotel, within the range drawn by Hu Chun, is indeed far away from the territory of zombies. But once there, you have to go through the kitchen on the first floor.

They had already gone to check on them, and after their companion was attacked, the limbs that remained in the kitchen were gradually dragged to the floor, and even the remaining scraps of meat were cleaned up.

The floor, walls, and even the ceiling were covered in a slime, a bit like the slime of a slug, which would be highly corrosive when it got on the skin.

The contents of this underground tunnel are more cautious than expected, except that the movement that occurs can lure it to reveal a part, but apparently it is only a very small part.

So far, everyone's perception of it has stopped at the scene of the kitchen attacking their companion on that day - a "tentacle" that is so fast that it pierces directly through the human body.

Hu Chun also took an iron bucket for testing, afraid that he realized that it was not food, and the tentacle-like thing looked very angry, and played with the iron bucket several times in disgust. When everyone took a closer look at the flashlight, the original smooth and straight barrel body had become an irregular piece of iron, and the hole the size of the bowl on the top did not know how it was caused.

Although the kitchen on the first floor is 10 meters above the back door. But I wonder if in this 10 meters, when passing through the slime, can keep not making a sound? As long as there is a sound, even if it is just a slight vibration, those "tentacle fingers" may rush out of which drainage hole under your feet.

The danger of the unknown is always more terrifying than the visible.

"What do you think about every day?" Zhao Zhixuan said impatiently.

Zuo Tianyou shrank his neck in disagreement and squeezed to Concubine Qin Mei, but Concubine Qin Meifei was still angry that he was playing tricks on herself, and pushed him far away in disgust.

Zuo Tianyou's absence does not affect the deliberations of others.

According to Hu Chun's suggestion, everyone unanimously passed to go out through the main entrance.

Considering Li Jincai's physical condition, Hu Chun carried him on his back. Although this decision made Li Jincai feel awkward, at this juncture, if he couldn't win, he might be a proposition, and he could only accept it with shame.

Among the people, only Zhao Zhixuan is an agile type evolutionary.

He prepares the bait in advance.

In order to prevent the zombies from being disturbed by other breaths, when he walked to the door, everyone was not allowed to come down. He needs to make sure that he lures the zombies away, and the others can run to the door in one breath and take the opportunity to leave.

Ready, Zhao Zhixuan took a deep breath and walked out.

The female zombie whose arms were cut off at the back of the front desk had already been torn in half from her shoulder because she was in the realm of mutant zombies, but even like this, this zombie was still alive, and she was still chewing her lower limbs with the shriveled gums that had her teeth removed.

Zhao Zhixuan strode past it and officially appeared at the door of the hotel.

As soon as he appeared, the mutated zombie who was indulging in the game of touching fish really noticed it and turned his head sharply. Immediately, it confirmed the location of the invasion, and rushed in the direction of Zhao Zhixuan with a low roar.

Everyone upstairs couldn't help but be nervous when they saw this scene.

Concubine Qin Mei held Jiang Xi's hand tightly and said, "Sister, will he not be able to outrun the zombies?" Or twist your foot while running? ”

Sensing that Hu Chun's face was wrong, Jiang Xi scolded softly: "What nonsense." ”
