Chapter 823: Humanoid Living Corpse
"What's going on?" Lin Xiao walked up to Wang Liang and asked.
Wang Liang pointed to the trails that had been covered up on the ground: "You see, there were originally a few corpses of zombies piled up here, but now they have all been dragged away, and the traces on the ground have been artificially covered with fallen leaves, but they have been washed away by the torrential rain, revealing the indentations that have not completely disappeared." ”
Lin Xiao looked in the direction of his finger, but there was a line of shallow indentations on the ground, which were flush with the indentations, and there were several footprints of different shades.
Walking to the heel of the footprints, Lin Xiao slowed down his movements, and also stepped on the edge of the footprints, and found through comparison that the person who left the footprints was wearing shoes with the same sole pattern as himself!
"Your shoes are uniformly distributed?!" Wang Liang immediately understood something, and he said with surprise: "Could it be that Lao Gang is out of danger and then comes back to me?" ”
"It's not Lao Gang!" Lin Xiao is very sure that although Lao Gang also has the same shoes as himself, he remembers very clearly that when Lao Gang left, he brought a pair of high-waisted rain boots and a pair of sneakers!
"Who could that be? Are the rangers we haven't met? Wang Liang also wondered, he didn't understand what the intention of these people was to drag the zombie corpses, could it be that those guys wanted to bury these zombies?
Lin Xiao also fell into doubt, and after thinking for a long time, he simply shook his head: "Forget it, anyway, the key to the arsenal is on you, and no one else can open the door without the key, let's go to Lao Gang now, and we'll talk about it later!" ”
Wang Liang nodded, but he unwillingly glanced at the dense forest that stretched out with drag marks: "Okay, go find Lao Gang first!" ”
"Woo...... Woohoo......"
Before Wang Liang put away the gun, the old wolf's howl came from the dense forest, Wang Liang and his son couldn't understand the meaning of the old wolf, so they could only turn their heads to look at Lin Xiao.
"The old guy has found something, let's go over and take a look!" Lin Xiao could only understand a rough idea, and the long howl of this rhythm should be calling for himself to go over.
The three of them gathered back to back, searching in the direction of the old wolf's howl.
When they arrived at the old wolf's location, they found that the old wolf was standing on the edge of a depression that was only a dozen square meters in size, and there were more than a dozen skeletons densely packed in that depression!
"Oh my God! This is ......" Wang Dalong was dumbfounded, although he was a warrior who had really been on the battlefield, he had never seen so many human skeletons stacked together!
That's right, skeletons and not corpses! Even, there are obvious traces of being eaten on the white bones of Nasensen!
"Wang Liang, this, won't this be what you said, the corpses of those zombies?" Lin Xiao had a bold guess, but he was unwilling to let that guess come true.
Wang Liang did not answer Lin Xiao's question directly, but walked around the depression, kicking away the fallen leaves and vegetation on the ground with his feet from time to time.
Looking at the trail marks that were exposed, and the whitish muscle tissue that had been blistered by the rain on the ground, he could only nod his numb head: "It should be right!" It seems that our speculation has been skewed, and it is definitely not humans who dragged away those zombie corpses! ”
Isn't that nonsense! Have you ever seen that normal human, eating the corpses of zombies?!
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes, and Wang Liang, who didn't take care of the inverted cooler, jumped off the depression after making sure that his trouser legs were tightened.
Using the barrel of the gun in his hand, he pulled those bones again, and Lin Xiao found that there were at least four different tooth marks left on each skeleton, looking at the spacing and arrangement of the tooth marks, it should be an ape, or a human!
"See what?" Wang Liang saw that Lin Xiao was becoming more and more serious, and although his scalp was numb, he also jumped down.
"Judging from the spacing of the teeth and the order of arrangement, it is either an ape zombie or a human zombie!" Lin Xiao didn't explain too much, just said: "However, I think human zombies can basically be ruled out, I have never seen human zombies that eat zombie corpses!" They are only interested in living things, or more accurately, only in flesh that has not mutated! ”
"So, how do you explain shoe prints? Could it be that ape zombies have learned to wear shoes? Wang Dalong listened to Lin Xiao's analysis and immediately raised the loophole.
"That's right, I can't explain what the hell is going on with the shoe prints, and that's the scariest part!" Lin Xiao sighed, told the burly zombie last night that could control other zombies, and then spoke: "I suspect that it is some kind of ape zombie that has evolved to a higher level under the catalysis of the blood moon, and has the ability to control other zombies, and even control unmutated humans!" ”
After hearing this, Wang Liang's father and son couldn't help but think of the rangers who had gone all the way and didn't see a shadow at all, and they couldn't help but believe eight points.
"So what do we do now? No matter how to find Lao Gang first? Or do you want to figure out what the hell this is doing first, and then go to Lao Gang? Wang Liang asked directly, in fact, from the bottom of his heart, he was more inclined to go to Lao Gang first, and look at the traces on the ground, it should have happened a few days ago, and now there are no other clues, and it is probably in vain to stay here.
"Let's go find Lao Gang first! I can't find a clue here for a while! Lin Xiao naturally wanted to go to Lao Gang first, there may be an ape zombie evolution here, if Lao Gang is still alive, if he finds him one minute later, he will have one more minute to face a more dangerous situation alone.
The idea was indeed correct, but it was a pity that Lin Xiao still underestimated the danger of this place, and on the big tree about two hundred meters away from him, a baboon with a brown-red body, roughly equivalent to an adult European physique, stared at Lin Xiao and the three of them with scarlet eyes.
This is a secondary mutated baboon, it should live carefree in this wild animal paradise, but unfortunately, after the disaster struck, it accidentally ate the infected hare, and the virus raged in its body, and finally turned it into a fierce beast that only knows hunger!
If it were just a ferocious beast, it might have died from a hunt, or from a seemingly endless pang of hunger in its body.
But God gave it and also played a big joke on Lin Xiao, Wang Liang and Lao Gang fought with the zombies here, the gunshots attracted this baboon, the hunger made it panic, and the zombie's virus-covered flesh and blood was swallowed by it, and there happened to be a crystal the size of a little thumb in the flesh and blood!
The baboon that has completed the mutation has been mutated twice, and it has a higher intelligence, a more ferocious character, and a stronger hunger!
It is not satisfied with fighting alone, the simple wisdom that has just formed in its mind makes it feel that it is too slow to rely on its own to obtain food, it needs to develop its race, and it needs to gather its subordinates!
So, this baboon took the flesh and blood of the zombie to a wife and children of his own, and the family of four all mutated into this fierce beast with simple wisdom!
After tasting the sweetness, the thirst for power and the resistance to hunger made it start to go crazy, and it used the coercion formed by the second evolution to gather a group of weaker zombies as laborers, and these zombies hunted everywhere under its command, and the targets of the hunt included other zombies of the same kind!
And on the ground, the hidden drag marks are the masterpieces of this baboon's zombie subordinates after accepting the order!
Facing Lin Xiao and the others, the baboon sensed great danger, but the hunger no longer pressed its nerves all the time, it was very hungry, it wanted to eat, it wanted to eat more, and it had more energy!
The sense of crisis made its simple brain capacity think that Lin Xiao and the three of them had more powerful energy than it, and these energies could make it relieve hunger and make it stronger!
It's waiting, waiting for a chance to make a move, waiting for a chance to kill the opponent in an instant!
The baboon slowly moved backwards, and the coercion brought to it by the second evolution allowed it to communicate with other baboons without making a sound, and under its command, the other three baboons surrounded it from different directions, and more than forty zombies who had been irradiated by the blood moon twice followed.
"Woo......" The old wolf seems to have sensed something, but its evolution level is one level lower than that of baboons, and this gap is huge and fatal!
"What's wrong with you, old fellow?" Lin Xiao felt that there was something wrong with the old wolf, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, the contact in the past few days gave him a very intuitive understanding of the old wolf's every move, but the old wolf's look made him feel confused.
The old wolf's ears trembled vigilantly, and his head kept shaking, as if he was looking for something.
"What's going on with it?" Wang Dalong also realized that there was something wrong with the old wolf, and immediately tightened the *** in his hand, and approached in the direction of Lin Xiao backwards.
"Back to back! Something is wrong! Lin Xiao also began to feel uneasy, his right eyelid throbbed violently without warning, and his scalp tingled for a while, as if some danger was about to happen.
This is an intuition, an intuition that is out of the normal human Fan Tao, Lin Xiao's spiritual power is several times higher than that of a normal person because he has been reborn twice!
With the blessing of this spiritual power, Lin Xiao slowly closed his eyes, and there was a faint sound of wind and breathing in his ears!
The breathing sound was very slight, but Lin Xiao could vaguely distinguish that it was Wang Dalong, Wang Liang, and the old wolf.
No! Wrong!
Lin Xiao's eyes widened suddenly, and there were more than three breaths! Far more than three!
Without waiting for his head to turn around, Lin Xiao was almost reflexive, raised his hand and pulled the trigger on the tree trunk not far away, *** The muzzle fire snake suddenly appeared, and the fragments of the tree trunk hit by the dense bullets flew.
A "......" scream sounded, and a slightly smaller baboon howled, jumped out of the tree, rolled in the air, its tail rolled up the branches of another tree, and its body fluttered up the trunk in a posture that violated Newton's laws, and a few of them disappeared into the dense forest.
"What's that? Monkey?! Wang Liang only saw a shadow, and the speed of the baboon shocked him: "What kind of monkey is this?" How is it so fast?! ”
