Chapter 20: Red Maple's Uninvited Guest
But after all, Zhou Zimo still survived, although he didn't know why the zombies were "merciful".
In addition to being frightened, Zhou Zimo didn't want to think about the reason, he just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, and the zombies in front of him didn't make any moves, so he quickly moved his body to escape from the zombies' control.
Who knew that this zombie seemed to lock on to Zhou Zimo, no matter how he moved, the zombie would follow the action and always maintain the posture of pounced on him.
"I'm grass!" Zhou Zimo couldn't help but scold, this is too torturous, neither hurt him nor let him go, he really can't figure out what they are going to do.
After a few temptations, he discovered an even more tragic fact: due to the constant movement, the position between the three of them had changed greatly, and the two zombies had almost blocked the road in front of him, and the dwarf who had been defeated before also stood up at this time, watching from behind.
This time, Zhou Zimo really wanted to cry without tears, so she could only hide in the corner for a lot of luck.
Unintentionally lowered his head, Zhou Zimo saw the blood stain on his clothes at a glance, and he suddenly remembered something: Isn't his own blood able to restrain zombies!
Zhou Zimo was suddenly overjoyed, raised his right arm and looked at his wound, which was far from healing, but simply scabbed, and after the cross-flowing blood coagulated, it covered all the wounds, turning into a large black-red scar that looked extremely hideous.
It was only then that he suddenly felt a tingling pain from the wound!
"I can only sacrifice you one more time!" Zhou Zimo gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, closed his eyes and slammed his left fingernail on the blood scab!
"Hiss-" Wan was mentally prepared, he still twitched in pain, and couldn't help but gasp, in fact, if he hadn't paid attention to the wound, it wouldn't have hurt so much, but unfortunately he didn't think about it so much at that time.
The wound was as he wished, broken again, drenched in blood, Zhou Zimo wiped it with his left hand with red eyes, and slapped it at the two zombies!
"Smack...... Syllable! ”
The zombies didn't make any moves, and let Zhou Zimo slap them firmly on their heads, this time it was different, Zhou Zimo's blood was a big killer!
"Roar!!" The moment they were hit, the two zombies retreated as quickly as if they were stained with magma, screaming and jumping wildly, and kept slapping their faces with their hands, but the more they slapped the blood, the more crazy they became!
As soon as the dwarf on standby behind moved, it seemed that he was affected by the cries of the same kind, and he was about to make a move, but Zhou Zimo's movements were faster, and after forcing back the two zombies in front of him, he immediately got up and attacked the dwarf, and easily replenished the blood of his hand at the wound again.
The dwarf's perception is very sensitive, and it reacted before Zhou Zimo arrived, and it was still the familiar charging action, combined with his terrifying body and speed, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a cannonball.
Last time, Zhou Zimo was hit by it like this and suffered internal injuries, so that he immediately stopped after seeing the dwarf's charging action, and he didn't dare to fight the dwarf hard.
The dwarf doesn't care so much, Zhou Zimo has been listed as a target by it, almost the moment Zhou Zimo stopped, it launched an impact, the distance between the two at this time is no more than five meters, and at the speed of the dwarf, it can attack Zhou Zimo in almost a second!
There is no time to react! The dwarf's eyes quickly enlarged, and he could only raise his bloodstained hand at the dwarf.
At this moment, a strange scene appeared again, and the dwarf who rushed forward stopped in front of Zhou Zimo as if he had been immobilized in the previous two times!
But Zhou Zimo stretched out his hand! Even though the dwarf's forward momentum was contained, he was still knocked into a big squat, and even his wrist was a little bruised.
"Roar!!" The last dwarf finally understood the reason why the other two zombies were crazy, it knocked down Zhou Zimo, and naturally it was also stained with his blood, the pain caused by the burning origin was unbearable at all!
Zhou Zimo on the ground breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, his goal was achieved, but now is not the time to relax, there are still tens of thousands of zombies standing in the square, he quickly got up and ran outside while rubbing his painful wrists, and when he arrived at the door, he looked back at the three zombies who were still "dancing", and a thought popped up in his mind: It would be nice if the terminal was on the body, how good it would be to take pictures and show them!
The anomaly in the unfinished building didn't attract the attention of the legions outside, and while the roars of the three dwarves were quite loud, the voices outside were louder. Twenty minutes after Zhou Zimo left, the square was almost full of zombies, and at this time, a shadow suddenly walked out of the place where Zhou Zimo came, a human being!
Compared with the previous section of the road, the ruins here seem more chaotic and dilapidated, Zhou Zimo walked in the shadows, his wounds were constantly oozing blood, mixed with sweat and pain made him grin, but there was no way, who told him to detain so hard just now?
However, this is not far from Miyue, and Zhou Zimo confirmed the direction in the atlas before, and according to his estimates, he will be able to walk there in half an hour.
I was still thinking about Miyue, but there was a familiar tremor on the ground under my feet, Zhou Zimo was startled, wasn't it a signal for the zombie army to go out collectively? !
He felt it carefully, the tremor was constantly increasing, and the speed was very fast, it must be the zombie army, and what was even more terrifying was that they were rushing in the direction of his Zhou Zimo!
"Did those three brutes do it?" Zhou Zimo's heart fell to the bottom, he could only commit himself to hiding in the crack of the broken wall next to him and didn't dare to go out, it was a fluke just now, if he went out at this time, if he ran into the zombie army, I was afraid that there was only one way to die, he didn't think that he could escape the sickle of death every time, it was better to keep a low profile, and the pain of the wound at this minute was also left behind him.
The tremor on the ground came quickly, but in a few minutes, Zhou Zimo could see the zombies jumping forward on the street, but they didn't pause for half a minute when they passed through the area where Zhou Zimo was, obviously not for him, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
But then his heart rose again, since it wasn't aimed at him, wasn't this direction the Miyue Safety Zone! Don't......
A thought flashed in Zhou Zimo's heart, which suddenly made him confused, if it was really according to his thoughts, Miyue was about to repeat the mistake of Red Maple, then wouldn't the purpose of his coming be lost?!
After thinking about it, he made a bold decision to follow the zombie ass and investigate.
Just do it, he waited for nearly ten minutes before he finally saw the tail of the advancing zombie army, as soon as he stepped out of the broken wall, Zhou Zimo was so frightened that he shrank back, what did he see?
It's actually Li Zimin!
No wonder this Li Miao is dead, and the corpses have been hidden by Zhou Zimo, how can this zombie army still gather to attack! It turned out that there was still a Li Zimin in command, but Li Miao was dead, why was he still alive?
Zhou Zimo couldn't figure out why, he went out again and took a look from afar, it was indeed Li Zimin, he didn't walk fast, and he was followed by two red tanks.
What to do? Zhou Zimo's mind changed sharply, and he decided to continue the plan just now, and follow this traitor to take a look, if his purpose is not Miyue, it is naturally the best, if so, Zhou Zimo feels that he also needs to help, after all, everyone is a human being, the same ancestry, although he may not be able to help much.
After coming out of the gap where he was hiding, he followed Li Zimin from a distance, for fear of being discovered, but the terrain of the ruins here was very complicated, except for the relatively clean road, the rest of the place was full of collapsed walls and stones overgrown with unknown plants, so that he almost lost it several times.
Before he had gone far, Zhou Zimo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, because after walking this street, the zombie army turned a corner directly and ran towards the other side, and that side was obviously not the direction of Miyue.
"Where are they going...... Since Li Zimin's target is not Miyue, Zhou Zimo is not ready to continue to follow, he hides behind a boulder and looks at the zombie army in the distance, muttering to himself suspiciously.
"Forget it, let's go to the Miyue Safety Zone first, bye-bye!" I don't understand that he still decided to complete his goal first, and then talk about it, it's a big deal to talk about this situation with Miyue's people, they will definitely send someone to investigate, thinking about him, he ran towards Miyue......
But he didn't know that it was such a small choice that made his life go in another direction, and this wasteland, which had been left behind for seventeen years, was finally about to shine again!
The second floor of the science and technology tube, the central computer master control room.
"Amy, how's it going?" Black Hawk asked in a deep voice as he sat in his chair, nearly five hours had passed since the search order began, and he had been sitting in the chair for so long, but Amy was nowhere to be seen in the main control room.
"Current search progress: 23%, no target found." As soon as Black Hawk's words fell, Amy's soft voice rang out in the air, but her answer obviously did not satisfy Black Hawk.
"Is it only 23%? Why is it so slow? He frowned and asked, according to this progress, if you want to find Li Miao's body, how long will it take to wait!
"I'm sorry, Zero, but I can't speed up my search at this time due to broken detectors." Amy explained that Zero was what Black Hawk had told her to call her, and that he wasn't used to being called his master.
Hearing her say this, Black Hawk's brow furrowed even deeper, and he stood up and said, "How did it damage?" How many more are available? ”
The screen of the host on the side suddenly lit up, and on it was Amy's summary of the system's work, and her projection also reappeared next to Black Hawk, explaining to him: "At present, the host array of the Apocalypse system is normal; The database is normal; The monitoring system of the Science and Technology Museum is normal; The hollow array is normal; The black prison capsule is damaged, the condition is unknown, and the damage is estimated to be 60%; 60% of the monitoring system in Yecheng was damaged, of which 650 Saker aerial detectors were lost; The damage degree of the monitoring system of the red maple and Miyue safety zone is 100%. ”
This series of data made Black Hawk a little blind, he didn't know a lot of things, he pointed to the screen and asked one by one: "What is this word array?" ”
Amy replied, "The Echo Array, the active defense mechanism of the Science and Technology Museum, works by driving the new humans to build two staggered lines of defense around the Science and Technology Museum, and anyone who is not authorized will be killed. ”
New humans? She was referring to the zombies, the Black Hawks had heard from the boss, who referred to these mutated monsters as New Humans, and he pointed to another place and asked, "What about this?" Where is the Black Prison? ”
"Black Prison, an underground experimental area established by Li Miao, the black-level authorizer of the Science and Technology Museum, is mainly used for blood-source research." Amy replied.
"Underground ......" Black Hawk pondered, and he continued to ask, "What about the back?" ”
"The Yecheng monitoring system, the main body of the Apocalypse system, works by monitoring the entire Yecheng ruins through three detectors, namely: Saker aerial probe, blood source detector and thousand-mile tracking device, according to the plan, they are mainly installed near the four human survivor safety zones and the three new human stations, at present, the systems of Red Maple and Miyue have all been lost and damaged, and I can't monitor them."
"Do you know the cause of the damage?" Black Hawk asked again.
"The cause of the damage is unknown, but according to the feedback and my calculations, there are three possible causes, super thunderstorms, super strong magnetic fields and body collisions."
“…… At the current pace, how long will it take to complete the search? Black Hawk was silent for a moment and suddenly asked.
"According to the current progress, it is estimated that the time to complete the search mission is 25 hours." Amy gave a precise answer, but this meant searching the entire Yecheng ruins, and it might not take her so long to find Li Miao's body.
"Connect to the terminal, report the situation at any time, I'm going to go to Hongfeng, Li Miao disappeared there, right?" Black Hawk began to pack his things and ordered.
"Yes, the log shows that the last place of the black-level authorizer Li Miao is: 8 kilometers outside the red maple, and the specific location has been marked on your map." Amy said as she connected the terminal in an instant.
"Okay." Black Hawk glanced at the terminal, and the red mark was unusually conspicuous, "Zombies outside...... Will the new humans still attack me? ”
"I'm sorry, I can't control the actions of the new humans, they have been subject to Li Miao." Amy said, staring at him all the time.
"......" Black Hawk didn't say anything more, and walked out of the general control room, several of his subordinates were still standing outside like benchmarks, he motioned for a few people to follow, and the Black Hawk team advanced towards the ruins again!
