After communicating with Bali for a long time, he finally figured out the origin of the woman, but the little fox knew that was only that, as for why the little fox wanted to save the woman and protect the child she gave birth to, there was no need to ask it, this is biological instinct, human nature, and the same is true for beasts, especially female animals.

"The corpse is still there, whether it has really become a fourth-order zombie, let's check it tomorrow morning." I said to Ling Ge.

"Okay, you go and rest, I'll take the shift in the second half of the night." Ling Ge said with concern.

"No, you're not tired, you go to sleep."

Ling Ge must be more tired than me, not because her physical consumption during the day is greater than mine, but because she found this place from Pudong alone, and the lonely environment will make people even more tired.

After Ling Ge entered, the little fox and I sat on the steps, staring at the wine bottle in my hand and licking its tongue.

"Anything more?" I imitate Dongdong's Northeast dialect, the whole in Northeast dialect is a word with a broader meaning than "do" - I know that foxes are produced in Northeast China, maybe this thing can understand Northeast dialect!

No, it still depends on me, the little fox hesitated and nodded, but I didn't dare to drink more to it, I just poured a bottle cap and put it on the ground, I didn't have a good amount of wine, I blew on the bottle, the wine is a little strong, look at the degree, 53 °, I don't understand the brewing process of liquor, I heard that it needs to be distilled - if you can get a stable base in the future, if the energy pipe is enough, you can even make your own wine.

After a few days of observation and temptation, it seems that Jinling and Purple Mountain are not places where we have stayed for a long time, first, there is a condescending threat from flying corpses and their subordinates; Second, because large areas of urban areas have been flooded by seawater, resources are a big problem.

"We're going to move west, do you want to come with us?" I gestured, continued to talk to the little fox, and after gesturing three more times, it understood, but it lay at my feet, looked at the huskies in the woods, hesitated for a long time, and shook its head at me.

"Not going? Still haven't thought it through? I asked.

(This is a very short sentence, but it is difficult to translate, and it took me five minutes.)

The little fox's answer was, "Not sure, let me think again." ”

I feel like playing the game "you compare and I guess" with it, it's very interesting, and I'm not sleepy, I plan to continue to play with it, anyway, the fox is a nocturnal animal, and most of the night is equivalent to its daytime, which won't delay its rest.

As the communication deepened, the number of strokes I needed to make became less and less, and this product was indeed very smart, and the intellectual level was definitely not lower than that of a twelve-year-old child.

I asked it again: Are you so smart before, or have you encountered some kind of accident that is why you are like this? Did you live in the mountains or somewhere?

The little fox said: It is a fox raised in the Red Mountain Zoo, and I don't know where it comes from, anyway, I lived in the zoo when I was very young, and I used to be very stupid, and my memory was not good, and then humans became stupid (zombies), it was locked in a cage, no one came to feed, it was too weak, and it couldn't break through the cage by itself like the tiger and lion next door, and then it was really hungry, so I had to eat a stupid human whose head was stuck in the cage, that is, a zombie, ate its face, lasted a few days, and was hungry again, I had to eat the soft stuff in its head (brain) again, and then I found that I was much smarter.

Hey? This is a new discovery, eating the brains of zombies will produce animal mutations?

When the first-order and second-order zombies are rampant, the zombies basically will not die, except for being killed by the survivors, but the vast majority of the survivors, unless they have to, will not confront the zombies head-on, and the zombies that are killed are negligible compared to their huge number and scale.

And with the emergence of third-order zombies, first-order and second-order zombies have become food for third-order zombies, which leads to a large number of zombies dying, and third-order zombies will not eat up every zombie, I have seen them eat, they seem to only eat the muscle tissue of zombies, that is, "meat", and other places do not eat much, which further leads to the stumps of zombies, which are more in nature, because the body tissues of zombies will not decay, rot, and exist for a long time, and in the end, zombie brains are eaten by some food-poor animals, This causes them to mutate.

This would explain why after the tsunami, those sea otters and dolphins mutated - the tsunami swept a large number of zombie stumps in the city into the sea and were eaten by marine predators, especially mammals, and the animals that were lucky enough to eat the zombie brains were mutated, and the animals' own brains were activated, and their intelligence increased linearly, reaching a level equivalent to that of humans.

I asked the little fox to wait for a while, I took out a pen and paper from my bag, wrote down this inference briefly, and analyzed it with Ling Ge and the others tomorrow to see if this was the case.

"Alright, you go ahead!" When I was done, I took back the little notebook.

"It turns out that my mind is full of water, like the sea," the little fox would also gestur, so that I could read its sentence clearly, "After becoming smarter, my mind is like a star in the sky, and there is always an idea popping up." ”

Well, the little fox is very good at metaphors, all kinds of things it can see, can be used for metaphors, this language style, and the language system in ancient times was not very developed human beings, and in the modern Menggu language family, there are also many such usages.

"And then? How did you get out of the zoo? I asked.

"Because my brain was bright, I began to think like a human being, and found that there was a bare pole in my cage, so I slowly dug the soil under the pole, and dug for a day and a night, and finally dug the pole down," the little fox found a wooden stick for me to demonstrate, "The pole fell, and the end was on the top of the cage, and I climbed out along the pole." ”

"So, where did you get those dogs?"

After the little fox understood, he spread out his map and found a location, not far from the Hongshan Zoo where it is located, which is a suburb, and there is no mark on it, but the little fox described it, it is said to be a "dog kennel", according to my understanding, it should be a dog breeding base, anyway, there are a lot of huskies in it, and there are other kinds of dogs, and when the little fox finds them, the dogs in the base are also skinny and half-dead.

The little fox is very ghostly, and does not immediately rescue them or release them, but after finding dog food from the warehouse, he puts a certain amount of food on them every day, trying to domesticate them as his bodyguard.

Dogs are this kind of thing, which is easier to domesticate for humans, because humans are tall and big, dogs only give in to the strong, the size of the little fox, obviously does not have this innate advantage, other dog breeds do not obey it very much, only a litter of huskies is very obedient (probably because of the husky's low IQ), it only took half a month, the husky bowed down to the little fox, the little fox released these huskies, a total of more than 20, very loyal to the little fox, looking for food, all know to give the little fox first, Thoroughly treated it as a master.

"What about the other dog breeds? Did you put it on too? I asked with interest, the little fox is so kind and likes to save people, surely he won't die without helping, right?

However, its answer was unexpected: "Keep it closed, and in the end they will all starve to death." ”

Looking at the little fox's smug smile, I didn't feel a layer of cold sweat on my back, so ruthless!?

The little fox seemed to notice my subtle psychological changes, and quickly explained: dogs are the fox's natural enemies, and if they are released, they will pose a threat to their lives - even if they have been fed for a long time, they will not dare to take this risk.

I thought about it, and this is also the truth, in troubled times, how can we talk about morality everywhere?

At that time, we dealt with more than 4,000 zombies on Yangshan Island, didn't we also use a similar method? It's just that instead of being locked up and starving to death (mainly because zombies don't starve to death), they are exiled to the sea by cargo ships.

If I were in the position of the little fox, I would have done the same for the sake of self-preservation.

The night was a little cold, I poured another bottle of wine for the little fox, but it refused, and made a sentence that surprised me very much: It is easy to say the wrong thing after drinking, for fear that you will misunderstand me.

I also explained to him a way to get along as a human being: treat each other with sincerity, as long as you have a clear conscience, you will not be misunderstood.

The little fox thought for a while, agreed, and drank another cap, but this had reached the limit of its drink, and not long after drinking, its eyelids began to sink, and its eyes became wandering, and it said that it would go back to the woods to rest.

"It's too cold outside, you can go to your room and rest." I pointed to the gymnasium.

The little fox declined my kindness, saying that he would be with his men, and that they would be afraid if he left their sight.

I looked into the woods, and sure enough, there were more than two dozen pairs of green eyes, all the time staring at this side.

I wanted to call them all into the room, but I was worried that these canine creatures, who had not been in contact with people for a long time, might be blown up by the female students, so I didn't insist, after the little fox returned to the woods, I called a few patrol members, sent a few extra bedding in the gymnasium, and built a soft nest for the huskies, but at this time, the little fox had fallen asleep between the two huskies, and was snoring!

"Hey! Old girl? I woke her up, "I said before, you should think about the transfer of you with us." ”

I'm serious, dogs, like horses, are important tool friends of human beings, and our purebred horses, which are not fierce, have been photographed by the tsunami on Yangshan Island, and must have drowned, but unfortunately, if now, these huskies can be used as hunting dogs, which can be regarded as a supplement.

Imagine, if the five of us brought two huskies to the Purple Mountain in the morning, we would definitely not be surrounded by zombies - the dog's sense of smell and hearing must be much more sensitive than Xiaoxiao's.

The little fox said sleepily that it would consider it and talk about it when the wine woke up.
