Chapter 47: Zombie Evolution
I went up to the tower alone, blowing the wind to sober up, while we were drinking, the night had quietly fallen, half a day starry and half a cloudy, the weather was hot and sultry, and it was estimated that it would rain after a while.
Everyone else washed and slept, only Su Lingge, who hadn't drunk, came up to accompany me to blow the wind.
"I lost." I say.
Su Lingge took off his mask to breathe: "It doesn't matter, you lost to your own people, not a loss, besides, in your words of football, you didn't play well in the first half, and in the second half, the game looks at the final result." ”
"It was 7-1 in the first half, can we get it back in the second half?" I shook my head and laughed.
"The first half was 7-1 because you were against the wind, and in the second half, when you exchanged venues, didn't the wind turn in your favor?" Su Lingge turned her head, and by the light of the mobile phone in her hand, I could see her face clearly again, which scared me!
"Just look at the habit." Su Lingge didn't wear a mask, put her arms on the railing, let the breeze blow her hair, and look at the side face, she looks extremely beautiful, it's a pity.
"What did you just say? Headwinds? I reached out and probed in the air.
Su Lingge pointed to the ground: "Your wind is there." ”
"What?"
"Zombies." Su Lingge said.
"Zombies?" I frowned, "What do you mean?" ”
"I don't know if you found it today, those second-order zombies began to feed on their own kind." Su Lingge said lightly.
"Really?" I wanted to take a closer look below, but it was too dark to see clearly, and I could only see shadowy zombies hanging out among the various rides.
"I've been observing this since noon today."
"What does that mean?" I asked.
"Zombies are driven by viruses and do not need to consume energy, and ordinary zombies have a lifespan of about 1-2 years, and eventually they will lose their mobility due to complete dissolution of their muscles, and then die." Su Lingge explained that this is similar to the zombie principle that Cai Mingming told me, and she analyzed it from a medical point of view.
"And second-order zombies are different," Su Lingge continued to give me popular science, "I analyze, they need to constantly ingest energy to maintain a high mobility combat capability. ”
"So they started eating normal zombies?" I asked, "But what does this have to do with the 'direction of the wind'?" ”
"Whether it is an ordinary zombie or a second-order zombie, they all contain a large number of non-reproducing S viruses in their bodies, and if the second-order zombies eat ordinary zombies, it will cause a sharp increase in the number of S viruses in their bodies, resulting in further physical changes in the second-order zombies."
"Body change? For example? I asked.
"For example, what more things will grow—" Su Lingge said, turning on the laser flashlight and shining it precisely in the direction of the playground gate, where a chair sat a male zombie, it could feel the strong light, and subconsciously raised its arms, lying down? This guy actually has three next door!
The new arm, which protruded from the ribs of his right hand, was shorter and thinner than a normal arm, but the five fingers at the end of the arm were longer than those on a normal arm!
Su Lingge was afraid of causing its agitation, so he turned off the flashlight.
"How do you know it's there?" I asked, confused.
"When you drank, it was there, sitting still, and at that time, its arms weren't as long as they are now—maybe it didn't like to move when the heterogeneous limbs were growing."
"You mean, zombies...... In evolution? "I suddenly felt a chill in my back, and the wine was half awake in an instant!
Su Lingge put his hands in his pockets and nodded.
"Evolution, will it affect their attack power?" I asked again.
"Then I don't know, but if a zombie has four claws, I believe it shouldn't be a problem for them to climb the castle."
That's exactly what gave me a chill down the back just now!
I finally understood what Su Lingge meant by the "wind direction" in the second half just now, the reason why my cousin and they tend to be stationed in the castle, in addition to the blessing of the powerful five weapons like the Mo Dao now, the most fundamental reason is that the second-order zombies can't climb the castle.
Imagine, in the middle of the night, it was pitch black, and more than a dozen zombies with four claws quietly climbed the city wall like crabs, entered the castle, entered the restaurant, and in the dark, even if we had a strange knife, we were definitely not their opponents, and before dawn, we would all become zombie trophies.
"Why didn't you say it at the table just now?" I asked Su Lingge again, the key is that she still raised her hand to support her cousin.
"Hehe, don't forget, you are our leader, and this discovery should be told to them to be more convincing. Women, don't reason with them, either convince them or convince them. ”
"Are you a repeater?" I gave her a blank look.
"Nono, you heard me wrong, the second 'shui' I said is the sleep of sleep."
“……”
This guy is open again!
"What? Scared? You don't want to, and they do. Su Lingge said with a smile.
...... "I don't think I can answer that."
"It's not a pencil stirring up a vat, what are you afraid of?"
“…… You're enough! I frowned.
"I'll go down to sleep, by the way, if a person is originally very harmonious with his partner, but suddenly falls into a single state, he will have acne on his face because of endocrine disorders."
"Go to sleep, please......" I bowed to Su Lingge, and returned the acne, what is the matter with the acne, I am a man, I am not even afraid of zombies, I am afraid of acne?
After Ling Ge left, I gradually regained my composure, worried that the zombies would attack the city tonight, I didn't continue to drink, went down to the restaurant, and hung cans at all the doors and windows, filled with small pebbles, if the zombies broke in, the cans would ring, waking us up sleeping in the restaurant.
At about nine o'clock in the evening, it started to rain outside, and I was relieved, because the rain would make the walls smooth, which would greatly increase the difficulty for zombies to climb the wall, and the rain was very heavy, so I didn't have to worry about them attacking tonight.
When I slept until the next morning, I was woken up by a burst of fragrance, and when I opened my eyes, Qian Duoduo, who had been sleeping on the carpet next to me, had become a cousin, and Qian Dazhuang was gone.
I rubbed my eyes, I drank too much last night, and my head was still a little dizzy, An Lan was lying flat, and there were a few new acne on his face, did Su Lingge really say it right?
I reached out to touch the pimples on An Lan's face, and inadvertently touched the one that fluctuated with her breathing, I was afraid that she would wake up, so I quickly turned over and went to the kitchen to find water to drink.
Dongdong is the logistics captain and the head chef, cooking porridge, steaming steamed buns, eating Western food for several days, everyone is tired of eating, and has returned to the taste of planting flowers.
"Hungry?" Dongdong asked me.
"I'm thirsty."
The mineral water is stored in it, the kitchen aisle is relatively narrow, I wanted to go sideways from behind Dongdong, but I didn't expect to be stuck, Dongdong was excited, thought I was doing it on purpose, looked back at me, and said shyly: "Wait for the evening, okay, everyone should get up." ”
it? Is this an appointment with me?
I thought that after she was snatched away by Lianye, she would "break up" with me!
"Huh? Why are you stunned? Dongdong saw me in a daze and asked again.
“…… Oh well. ”
When I came out after drinking water, I finally remembered one thing, Dongdong didn't mention breaking up with me, and after the reunion, the reason why I didn't make do with each other was mainly because she was "inconvenient" two days ago!
The relationship is business as usual, and I have a girlfriend again, huh...... Very good.
Come out to see the weather, the rain is still falling, but it's a lot smaller, and you don't need an umbrella.
In the misty rain and fog, Qian Dazhuang was practicing knives, fighting with each other, moving back and forth, dodging left and right, the blade breaking through the air, buzzing, and it looked quite like that.
"Up? Brother," Qian Dazhuang saw me come out and wiped the rain on his face, "This knife is addictive!" I seem to have an emotion, but can you give it to me? ”
"Of course." I said, I'm going to build a few more anyway.
I borrowed the Mo knife, tried it, although the knife is very heavy, but because the center of gravity is in the palm of the left hand (I am left-handed), so the rotation and chopping, are very flexible, I don't know much about the principle of the five instruments, I feel that the center of gravity in the hand, should be the technical core of this Mo knife, its powerful power, mostly from this design.
"Brother Zhuang, you practice more and summarize a set of knife techniques for everyone to learn immediately and under the horse."
"Hey, I'll do my best!" Qian Dazhuang took the Mo knife and said with a smile, he does have a bit of a talent for martial arts, and I was deeply impressed by the first battle against the enemy yesterday.
Qian Dazhuang continued to dance the knife, and I walked along the city wall to the main entrance of the playground, where the three-armed zombie last night was no longer sitting on the chair, and I didn't know where to go.
But I noticed one thing, the corpses of the several zombies that were killed yesterday are all gone, and they must not have been done by our people, and the zombie corpses will not decompose, so we don't care about it on weekdays, it should be that someone dragged them away at night last night...... Eaten?
"Chief, it's time to eat!"
After breakfast, the rain stopped, and at 11 a.m., the sun was shining, and we repeated yesterday's action, and we were busy until three o'clock in the afternoon, making the blanks of the other seven Mo knives.
The material of the handle of the knife was collected by the cousin who flew to the woods, and the two sides returned to the castle to meet, and combined the seven Mo knives, each of which strictly followed the standards provided by Qian Duoduo, ensuring the quality was one thing, and the more important purpose was to interchange the five instruments at some critical moments.
In the evening, the sky was beautiful, and it began to rain again, according to my cousin's observation, the zombies are more picky about the weather, in the rain, they are the same as humans, and they do not like to move, either, stand quietly in place to get drenched in the rain, or, hide in the corner to avoid the rain.
So, rainy days = zombie truce.
All day, I was paying attention to what Su Lingge said about second-order zombies eating ordinary zombies, but unfortunately I couldn't see it, and the three-armed zombie, before the sky was dark, finally reappeared, what surprised me was that its third arm had grown to the same length as an ordinary arm, and its skin color was the same, it stood quietly at the entrance of the playground, with its left hand in its jacket pocket, one right hand also in its jacket pocket, and the other right hand, that is, the third hand, hung down under the armpit.
I decided to kill it! There's no reason for it, just that I think it's going to be a big threat to us!
Of course, before I killed him, I called my cousin and Lian Ye over, and according to Su Lingge's meaning, I took the credit of "finding the three-armed zombie" on my head, not to invite credit, Su Lingge was right, compared with my relationship with Lian Ye and my cousin, Ling Ge she ...... after all Kind of an outsider.
"Zombies actually started to evolve?" My cousin looked through a telescope, "Third-order zombies? ”
began to name again, the name "second-order zombie" was given by my cousin.
"Have you seen enough?" Lian Ye didn't pay much attention to these theoretical things, pulled the L bolt, tilted his head and aimed.
"It's better to let it come, I want to take a picture, Xiao Lang, you go down and attract it." Cousin said.
I whistled in the direction it was, and then lowered the rope ladder, and I followed the rope ladder down the castle, there were no zombies around, and I would have time for it to rush over.
However, what I didn't expect was that the three-armed zombies saw me, but they didn't rush over, and the other zombies soon found me and began to gather in the rain, so I quickly crawled back to the castle.
"It's not much worse than I thought, and its intelligence has evolved with it." My cousin said with her chin pinched.
“…… Are you experimenting with me? "I frowned, she deliberately let me go down as bait!
The cousin nodded: "It knew you had time to climb back to the castle, so it didn't make a useless attack, but obviously, its intelligence was not high enough." ”
The cousin said, took L from Lianye's hand, stepped on the battlement, and completely exposed himself to the zombie's field of vision, the three-armed zombie stood in place, and after looking at his cousin through the scope for five seconds, the cousin pulled the trigger and exploded the head of the three-armed zombie.
"Whew!" My cousin jumped off the battlement, "If he had a higher intelligence, he would have known the power of L." ”
"How intelligent do you think it is?" I pouted, "High enough to climb a ladder up to the castle?" ”
"If they evolve again, maybe, there is a possibility."
"Then it's time for us to move." I strike while the iron is hot.
The cousin nodded: "That's right." ”
"You promised?"
"No," my cousin put down L and turned her head to look at me, "I don't agree with blind transfers—unless, you find a more suitable place to defend against a large number of third-order, or even fourth-order zombies—you can't just talk about it, it's up to me to go and confirm it on the spot." ”
This sentence was too informative, I digested it for a few seconds and asked her, "What is a fourth-order zombie?" ”
"For example, it has another arm." My cousin smiled and went back to the restaurant with Lianye.
Three hands are the third order, and four hands are the fourth order? Is she kidding me......
