Chapter 81: Encounter with Zombies

"God, it's not a collection of big bugs, right?" Bugs joked.

"Crow's mouth, this joke is not good at all, it is really a metal bug meeting." The tree also teased.

"Shhhh It's really all metal bugs, right? Zhong said, pointing to the shiny patches over there.

The lava is reddish-brown, and the metal bugs are close to black, and they really can't be distinguished. But these are too many, the whole side of the mound is this color and this luster, and it is not at all the same as the insects drilled out of the dirt bags, which are the points of light emitted by the sun, and the gloss here is enough to show that the metal bugs occupy the entire surface of the hill, even if you think about it, you will feel cold all over your body.

"Zhong, let's hurry back, it's best not to alarm them." The tree whispered, and the man didn't jump back. No one objected, not even Rose insisted on following behind the tree. The rest of the group slowly retreated. People are rational and don't want to provoke metal bugs, but a robot behind it rolls up the hill, and four gradually increasing rays of light cover it. As the light intensified, the otherwise peaceful lava surface trembled. Now it was as if the water was rough, and the seven of them were running forward almost unsteadily.

"We should shut down the robots, or we'll be in danger if we run out of energy gems." The bell shouted.

"yes, there are too many metal bugs." Jie also followed her husband back to turn off the robot. But the best time was wrong, and I saw that the zombies on the other side of the hill were active. The black shadows that had been looking at each other were now standing. The head is larger than the cylindrical body, and the limbs protrude from the body. Two lantern-like eyes hung from the skull, no nose, and a slit between the sides of the mouth. There was no doubt that the mouth was open almost as wide as a head, and it would be easy to devour a human. Zhong Hejie, who had already seen the big mouth devouring metal bugs, was stunned on the hill. At this time, shutting down the robot is tantamount to suicide, and if it is not shut down, it is also the end of half of death and half of survival.

"Zhong, Jie, what did you two see?" The tree asked if he could alarm the jump on the other side of the hill. The rest of the people also returned, looking down the hill together.

At this time, the zombies were active, clumsily climbing up the hill. Although he has two big eyes, he has no focal length, and he almost skews in circles on the ground, taking one step and two steps back. A large area of black and oppressive zombies looked at the seven people with chills in their hearts, saying that they were not afraid that they were all lying to themselves.

"Bell, it's only a matter of time before they climb the hill at this speed, let's run." Rose said tremblingly. It's completely out of the same momentum.

"We ran away, what about the four robots? That's everyone's guardian angel. Zhong said firmly.

"Yes, we can't leave the robot alone, no one knows what will happen in the coming days, and the robot must not be lost." Electricity also stood beside Zhong and said.

"We're just here watching, so many metal bugs were broken down by the robot's light last night. It shows that this side of the hill is still safe, and as long as they don't cross this hill, we are safe. ”

"Zhen, you're right, we're scared of zombies. Just wait here, the zombie has clumsy limbs, relying on a big mouth, Lao Tzu first smashes that big mouth to see how it devours humans. The tree said as he stood in front of a few people.

Finally, a few zombies stumbled up to the top of the hill in four fused rays of light, and they were only less than ten meters away from a few people. The trees were already clenched into big fists and waiting, but the zombies stood still, letting the red light scan.

"What's the situation, is it the robot's light that freezes them?"

"yes, that's all I can understand, hey, they're getting brittle."

"Really, that arm over there is broken." As the arm was broken, the jelly-like residue inside also fell out, and the zombies behind rushed up and ate it clean in an instant. And the first few zombies are becoming more and more transparent. The metal shell was almost like a silk cloth, and it was held up like a balloon by the contents inside, and it was the feeling that it would burst in an instant. And at this time, the light of the robot is also weakening a little bit.

"Oops, the energy gems are running out, turn off the robot and we'll go back." Zhong decisively decided, and the man also turned off the nearest robot, which happened to be the one that released the red light. It was just a moment, and the fusion light that lacked the red light became refreshing, and the monsters that had been transparent suddenly trembled suddenly. Almost at the same time, Jie also turned off the robot that released the orange-yellow light, and the fusion light suddenly lit up for a moment. Immediately afterwards, the two white rays of light also disappeared as the robot's energy turned off, leaving a reddish-brown lava surface on the human retina. And the jelly that seemed to be wrapped in silk suddenly exploded. It was as if it had cracked in the middle of the jelly, and the residue was flying, and the smell of fish was in the air. The monsters behind swarmed up, opening their mouths as big as their heads, crawling on the ground and licking the monster residue. Several tongue-like tentacles protruded from the large mouth, sweeping the lava surface. It's a pity that a few people didn't see this scene, and they had already left the hill with a few robots. The ground on this side of the hill was also undulating, but the metal bugs didn't come out. But there is no doubt that the undulations of the ground are caused by bugs wriggling underground.

Several people jumped, and the robot slid silently. The only difference was that there were no traces of the robot's wheels rubbing on the lava surface, and there were no human jumping footprints. These have all changed after being scanned by the robot just now, but people didn't notice these changes in their hurry. It wasn't until after the jump of almost two kilometers that several people stopped panting, and a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe made several people extremely tired.

"Mom, it's so embarrassing, why are there so many zombies?"

"It's fun, it's so scary than those bugs."

"Is it all lava and zombies here?"

"There are new species on the planet, and if they go to human society, can humans be the victors?"

"Nonsense, these are obviously derived from the accumulation of lava, how can they survive without lava. You're really worried, hey, we seem to be running in the wrong direction. ”

"yes, I picked up the good place just now, and now it's really deviating from the direction we came." Several people hurriedly ran to the robot to look, and sure enough, it was already facing west.

"Well, how can it be so bad. Is there so much potential in people? We had been going south, and we had turned a corner and run west, and we had run for miles. Zhong, it's too late to change direction and go back today, or we will go to the west by mistake? ”

The seven of you said a word, and they all looked at the bell in an instant. A few miles away is not a long distance, but when I go back, I have to pass through the place where there are all metal bugs just now, and now I think about it, the lava surface there has been scanned by robot rays, and the geological structure has changed, and the metal bugs can not easily get out, which is relatively safe for humans. But there is no opportunity to learn more about this place. The purpose of coming out is to see how this place has changed over the past few hundred years, and to go back means to end the search and observation.

"Okay, I don't have an opinion, I'm just worried that when I encounter zombies, the robot's energy will not be able to help. Tree, how many gems did we bring with us when we came out? ”

"Four pieces, exactly one replacement. Thanks to Ray's reminder, otherwise I wouldn't have remembered this. ”

"That's good, we'll stick with it until the next zombie encounter."

"Zhong, I agree, we have walked more than 20 kilometers to the south, and if we can insist on walking more than 20 kilometers to the west this time, we should also reach the place where the big crack is level. If possible, we will go back from the main road of the ring high. Rose said solemnly.

"Rose, you, you are..."Electro looked at Rose who suddenly turned back and didn't know what to say.

"What's wrong with me? Jie, you feel like you haven't eaten a big bug once, and your heart is a lot more stable. The feeling of being helpless and uneasy is gone. I even realized how happy it is to be a mother. ”

"Rose, I don't think your desire to eat bugs is as serious as yours, and your irritability is not as great as yours, we didn't know each other when you became at that time, and now you're back." Jie said happily.

"Really, I've changed so much that I don't even remember it myself. Did it cause you a lot of trouble? ”

"Yes, it's really annoying to be willful and unreasonable, irritable and careless about safety."

"Electricity, I'm your daughter-in-law, aren't all pregnant women like this? Be careful that the child is born and does not recognize you as a father, she is a child who belongs to the ring high. ”

"Daughter-in-law, it's me who is wrong." Dian hurriedly admitted his mistake, causing everyone to play and joke for a while. Re-edited the direction and jumped to the west. The four robots were still at the end, and the wheels slashed through the lava leaving two grooves. The places where several people jumped and landed also left footprints far away, always thinking about extending to the west. In the evening, after walking another three kilometers, several people stopped to rest.

It was a slightly flat place, and the road surface was a little firmer, and when a few people looked back, the footprints were almost gone. It looks like the lava deposits are close to the edge.

"Rest here, and leave tomorrow."

"Zhong, rest until tomorrow, we won't all freeze into ice cubes."

"Yes, the temperature is minus 20 degrees Celsius, if it weren't for the mutation, it would have frozen into an ice cube man a long time ago."

"It's a good thing to be mutated. At least they can adapt to the environment and jump and run. ”

"What do you think, anyway, I'm thankful for the mutation that turned me into a Hercules."

"Tree, you stink, if you go to a normal crowd, we are all monsters, you are especially serious."

"What are you doing thinking so far, when the ring height is repaired, we will travel on the ring height until the end of our lives, and we will not go back." The tree said firmly.
