I looked at my watch, and before I knew it, it was almost three o'clock in the morning, and the huge moon shadow had sunset, like a sunset, I left the woods, lit a cigarette, followed the ladder to the roof of the gymnasium, and looked at the direction of the Purple Mountain with a telescope, there was nothing abnormal, perhaps, the fourth-order zombies also slept at night, they may have changed directly from humans.

At three o'clock, I left the sentry post and returned to the gymnasium, tonight they finally sensible, and left me a place at the door, which was quite spacious, equivalent to a large double bed, but half of the position had been occupied by Ling Ge, I didn't wake her up (I couldn't do anything if I woke up, so many people), sleep on the other half of the mattress, the wine came up, it was a good thing at the moment, let me fall asleep quickly.

When I woke up the next morning, there were not many people around, but I looked at my watch, it was not yet six o'clock, and there was no dinner, why did I get up so early?

After washing, I came to the playground outside, and found that Ling Ge and the others had already transported the two zombies that we killed last night, one big and one small, back with the little fox's upside-down donkey, they were surrounding Ling Ge and dissecting it, the picture would cause discomfort, so I will not describe it in detail - the girls are used to seeing bloody scenes, and they don't feel so awkward, and among the onlookers, there are still a few people who are eating instant noodles while watching.

The matter of scientific research is handed over to Ling Ge and Xiaoxiao, I am not interested, just a conclusion, came to the woods, the little fox was still sleeping, but only half of those huskies remained here, I asked the big husky brother (the husky that was closest to me last night, it should be the deputy of the little fox, the boss of this group of huskies), where did the other dogs go?

The intelligence level of the big husky brother is obviously not as high as the little fox, I compared it for a long time, and it didn't understand when, it kept tilting its head, and there were a lot of small question marks in its head, but soon, those huskies came back, everyone, not ...... Each dog had food in its mouth, most of them ducks, many of which were still alive, probably because they had attacked a duck farm.

The little fox woke up, and among the dogs, it didn't seem very close to me like last night, but pretended to be very majestic, and negotiated with me, wanting to exchange ducks for the ham sausages we collected (people are looking for things in the suburbs, after all, it is much easier than dogs, people can check the location of the supermarket on the map, and there is a target, so yesterday they hoarded a lot of ham sausages), of course I agreed, and exchanged two boxes of ham sausages for sixteen ducks, and handed them over to the Dongdong team.

Dongdong and Dong have already made breakfast, slaughtered the ducks, and after they have been processed, they are pickled in jars with the pheasants and hares, so that they can be stored and eaten at any time.

After breakfast, Ling Ge's autopsy report came out, one was to confirm that the woman was a human before her death, and the other was to determine that it was mutating in the direction of a fourth-order zombie.

By dissecting the stomach of the deceased, the source of the woman's mutation was obtained, which was to eat something similar to a hot pot, and the ingredients in it were very miscellaneous, including pig brains - although there was no monitoring equipment, Ling Ge suspected that this pig brain had been infected by the zombie factor, and it was this pig brain that caused the woman to mutate.

"Brain ......" I thought about it, took out the small notebook recorded last night, and told Ling Ge about the little fox's mutation, as well as my inferences.

"Animals eat the brains of zombies and become smart...... Humans ate the brains of zombie animals and turned into fourth-order zombies? ”

"It could be so." I nodded, anyway, they have become stronger, the mutated animals are reflected in intelligence, and the mutated humans, because the intelligence itself is very strong, so it is reflected in the body - strong muscle tissue, derived from flying skills, and hemikeratinized, unusually tough skin, which are all strengthened characteristics.

As for the intelligence level of the fourth-order zombies, because of the lack of samples, we can't make a prepared judgment yet.

"It's kind of interesting," Xiaoxiao squinted and smiled, "It seems that in the future, we will not only have to guard against zombies and survivors, but also against humanized animals and animalized humans!" ”

"There are more enemies," my cousin concluded, "and shouldn't we be more away from the original area of human activity?" ”

"Agreed," I nodded, "find a place that is inaccessible and rich in resources, and re-establish a base - according to this mutation, I don't even think that the Northeast base is safe." ”

The northeast is too far away, even if Qian Dazhuang and Sister Chu are there, we can't take care of them for the time being, first preserve our strength, and then talk about other things.

After breakfast, I convened a meeting of the detachment leaders and squad cadres again to propose this new transfer idea, and everyone agreed.

"Teacher Su, when are you leaving? What is the goal? Qin Mingyue asked.

"Leave immediately," Ling Ge said, "As for the target, it's hard to say now, you can only look for it while walking, and then take the sea route, it's no longer safe, but nearby, there is only a lonely mountain in the Purple Mountain, if you don't take the waterway, there is no way to go...... My idea, first along the Changjiang River, and then some distance upstream—"

Ling Ge pointed to the map: "After about ten kilometers, we will reach Pukou, from here we will go ashore to the north, not far from Lion Ridge, from Lion Ridge to the west, there will be inland land, most of which are mountains, and a small part is plains, where the altitude will not be flooded, we can go all the way to the west, avoid big cities, until we find a suitable base area." ”

"In other words, take Changjiang North Road." Lian Ye said.

"That's right, the water system in Jiangbei is relatively small." I say.

"In the mountains, you basically have to walk, right? How far does that have to go? In order to get out of the plain area of the middle and lower reaches of the Changjiang River? Lianye frowned.

"At least a month, it's a chore." Ling Ge laughed.

The crowd began to whisper, clearly embarrassed.

When they were almost finished, I concluded: "I know that it will be very difficult, first, the future is uncertain, I don't know what enemies we will encounter, and even, it is possible to meet new enemies that we have never encountered before; Second, if you avoid the city and go to the mountains, supply will also be a big problem. ”

They nodded their heads, mainly worried about the latter point.

"I'll just say a word," I looked around at everyone and said solemnly, "If you want to go, if you want to stay, I will leave them with enough weapons and equipment, not reluctantly, tell everyone about my decision, give you an hour to think about it, and after an hour, no matter how many people there are, I will set off." ”

The principle of the minority obeying the majority is of course very important, but sometimes, the truth is often in the hands of those few......
