Chapter 59: Third-Order Zombies
The wind was so beautiful that I could hear my own heartbeat.
"What's the sound?" I frowned.
"Can't you hear me? It's subtle, like ...... The sound of a metal planing wall! Lianye walked to the viaduct guardrail, looked down, and after a glance, she shrank her head back, her face was like ashes, and she immediately made a "shhhh
I came to her in confusion and cautiously poked my head out to look down.
Nima! I was so scared that I quickly retracted my head, and my legs couldn't stop shaking!
The viaduct deck where we are located is exactly a pier below, more than 20 meters high, and the concrete surface of the pier with a diameter of five or six meters is full of zombies! Moreover, all of them are "third-order zombies" with multiple limbs, which can no longer be seen to be humanoid, densely packed, crowded together, one end to the other, like clusters of parasitic gooseneck barnacles on a shipwreck—commonly known as a delicacy from hell, interested, and, if you don't have a phobia of intensity, you can search for it, what a disgusting feeling!
But I didn't just feel nauseous, but my hairs stood on end, and I felt terrible!
They didn't climb up because they found us, but they were originally here, because at this moment, the sun is in the sky, there is almost no shade on the ground, only under the bridge, on the surface of the bridge piers, it is all shaded area, they are "sleeping", just now Lianye heard, and described as the sound of metal running against the wall, it should be the zombie in the adjustment of the "sleeping position", the sound of claws cutting into the concrete, touching the steel bar!
As a rule of thumb, zombies have a flexible sense of smell and hearing, and we're just a few meters above them, so why haven't they spotted us?
Lian Ye asked with his eyes, "What should we do?" ”
I made a squeeze gesture to make me think!
Now, we are equivalent to standing on top of the zombie den, fortunately, the zombie den has a roof, and once we continue to move in the direction of the castle and enter the fork, the fork is a Fibonacci spiral curve, around the pier, it will definitely be seen by the third-order zombies attached to the pier!
Wait a minute! Tier 3 zombies can climb bridge piers??? Doesn't that mean - I hurriedly looked in the direction of the castle, it was lifeless, whether it was on the tower or the battlements above the city wall, there was no figure in sight, could it be that last night, the castle was broken by third-order zombies?
An unprecedented panic permeated my heart, cousin, Dongdong, Xiaoxiao...... They're gone?
No! No, it won't! There's a cousin here! I believe in her command ability, moreover, they already know the existence of third-order zombies, and they will definitely make targeted defenses, besides, Su Lingge is also in the castle, it is she who has been paying close attention to the dynamics of zombie evolution, and first discovered the transformation from the second order to the third order, with her female doctor's mind, will she not be able to think of a countermeasure?
Now is not the time to think about them, but to solve the current problems of me and Renye!
Just glanced down just now, that picture, it was deeply imprinted in my mind, the photoreceptor cells on the retina after being stimulated by strong light, can not recover for a short time, and continue to output strong bioelectric signals to the brain, so the shadow of the picture can still be formed in front of me, I looked at the sun, kept blinking, looking at the illusory zombie "shadow" on the bridge pier, roughly calculated, on a bridge pier, there will be at least more than 200 zombies, as for other bridge piers, I don't know, I didn't dare to go out and see it again.
Lian Ye tugged at my sleeve again, widened his eyes, and asked me silently again what should I do? Looking at her expression of wanting to cry without tears, she should have guessed the tragedy that might happen in the castle!
I gritted my teeth, whether they are dead or alive, we all have to fight, or we have to go back to the castle, at least I can see, the roller coaster, our remaining horses are still there, even if they are all sacrificed in the castle, in case Lian Ye and I successfully escape back to the castle, we can also escape on horseback, even if the third-order zombies have four or six claws, but their physiological structure based on the human body is destined to be faster, its speed cannot be faster than the horses that have evolved for tens of millions of years and have almost evolved to the extreme!
I lowered my voice, pressed my ear to Renye, and said in a small but firm voice, "Back to the castle!" Live to meet people! Death to see the corpse! ”
Lian Ye and I had the same idea, listened to me, and nodded heavily!
I was about to leave, suddenly, I felt a light in the direction of the castle, shook my eyes, and when I turned my head to look, it was gone, and two seconds later, the light came again, on the tower of the castle, like a small sun, so dazzling!
"Xiaoxiao." Lian Ye whispered that she saw it with a sniper scope.
I held up my binoculars, and the bright light flickered again, and it was a mirror!
I turned my face sideways, waited for the bright light to pass, waved over there to stop, Lao Tzu saw it! I'll be blind if I shake it again!
The bright light was no longer there, I looked closely, and saw that at the battlement of the tower, half of the head poked out, it was Xiaoxiao, what did she mean?
Lian Ye and I glanced at each other, and our faces were confused.
I looked through the binoculars again, and I could vaguely see Xiaoxiao lowering her head, as if she was writing something, and after writing, she held up an A4 piece of paper, but unfortunately the magnification of my telescope and Lianye's sniper scope was too low, and I could see two lines of bold characters on the paper, but I couldn't see what was written.
I shook my head exaggeratedly and shrugged my shoulders again to signal that I couldn't see!
Xiaoxiao glanced at us with an astronomical telescope, and the figure disappeared, disappearing, which means that she went down the spiral staircase, and the bottom led straight to the castle hall - that is, the castle did not fall?
I took a closer look at the battlements of the city wall and the platform outside the restaurant, and found no corpses of the zombies, or any signs of battle.
Lianye looked at me: What should I do?
Wait, Xiaoxiao will definitely appear again.
I was wrong, three minutes later, it was not Xiaoxiao who appeared again, but Qian Duoduo, she was wearing a colorful dress that was very close to the color of the castle, leaned out of the tower, stretched her hands out of the tower, and slowly hung down a banner, ten meters long, the words on the banner were very large, this time I could finally see what was written on it.
"Third-order zombies, dormant during the day, very low vitality, walk carefully, you can go back to the castle!"
I see, they are worried that Lianye and I will find other vehicles, and if we walk, the noise is low, and we shouldn't wake up the third-order zombies.
I patted Lianye on the shoulder, pointed to my feet, Lianye nodded, and sat down slowly, we took off our shoes and socks, put them on the inside, and put the socks on the outside of the shoes, so that although it was a little grinding feet, there would hardly be any sound when we walked.
In addition to the feet, Renye and I checked each other's equipment again, and after confirming that nothing could make an abnormal sound, we slowly walked down the spiral ramp.
Go around a certain angle, you can see those zombies lying on the bridge pier, the reason why they look disgusting, most of them are because they have almost no clothes on their bodies, and there are no clothes on their upper bodies, probably after the limbs grow out, the clothes are torn and torn, and the lower body has no clothes, because their legs and feet are highly deformed, and they do not belong to the human form at all, as if they have regressed back to the crawling state from the state of walking upright, the legs are bent, the toes have become thin and long, and the front end has sharp claws...... How to describe it?
It's a bit like a hairless sloth, but they have one or two more pairs of forelimbs than a sloth - most zombies have four arms, and a few have six arms, which look like spiders.
For some reason, only we have more zombies "perched" on this pier, and I looked at the other piers in front and back, but there were none.
After going around the ramp, back to the ground, there are no third-order zombies here, not even second-order, ordinary zombies, Lian Ye and I walked for twenty minutes, and successfully entered the playground, there were no zombies in the playground, and came to the bottom of the castle, from above the battlement, slowly hung down a soft ladder, Lian Ye and I climbed up one after another, cousin, Dongdong, Xiaoxiao, Ling Ge, Qian Dazhuang father and daughter, they all squatted under the battlement, a lot!
But I was so excited that I wanted to rush over and kiss their faces one by one, even the greasy big guy!
However, as soon as the first kiss was over, my cousin stopped me from kissing the others and motioned for us to go back to the room first, it was not safe here.
When I returned to the restaurant, I found that all the windows were covered with tape and colored paper, tightly sealed and impermeable, the temperature in the restaurant was very high, and they were dressed relatively coolly, and some even wore only a single layer, which was a little abrupt in some parts.
Xiaoxiao, who came in at last, closed the door of the restaurant, and the cousin returned to her normal tone: "But I'm worried about us, you two!" ”
"I'm still worried about you!" I pinched her chin dotingly, I hadn't seen her for two days, and I missed it a little, after all, it was family.
"Where's your horse?" Dongdong asked, "Why did you come back on foot?" ”
I sat down and pulled down my unrecognizable sock: "The horse was stolen." ”
"What? Who did this to you? My cousin's eyes widened.
I briefly told the story of the horse thief girl, my cousin was very indignant when she heard it, and wanted to settle accounts with her, but Su Lingge said: "As the saying goes, if you lose your horse, you don't know if it's a blessing, just imagine, if you two ride back, you won't encounter all kinds of obstacles, you can ride all the way to the top of that bridge pier, the footsteps of the horseshoe are very penetrating, and it will definitely wake up the third-order zombies, even if they are low in vitality during the day, even if you have weapons, but so many of them are enough to kill you both." ”
Dong Dong nodded: "Ling Ge is right, in this way, that girl saved you." ”
"These are two different things! Dare to steal our horses! I'll still settle accounts with her! The cousin was still indignant.
"What's going on with those third-order zombies?" I asked.
The cousin looked at Ling Ge, meaning to let her speak.
I stretched out my hand to stop: "I'm not in a hurry to know this, it's okay for you to be fine, now I announce, another emergency vote, a raise of hands in agreement with the transfer!" ”
"Where is the transfer going?" Cousin asked.
"Yangshan Island, there are only ordinary zombies on it, not even second-order zombies!" Lian Ye said that she used to be a staunch supporter of the "stubborn theory", and after last night's wonderful experience, now her attitude has also taken a 180-degree turn.
However, out of my surprise, no one raised their hands, one by one, they all grinned and smirked at me, and I could see that my heart was furious, did they have the virus......
