Chapter 110: The Great Terror
"Let's go over and have a look." Ye Bai motioned for the two of them to move quietly, not to alarm the 'people' who suddenly appeared inside.
Ye Bai and the others came in from the entrance of the guard station, and no one passed by them during this period, in other words, the people inside appeared at the guard station out of thin air.
As the three approached, there were about a hundred or so people in sight, their eyes were glazed over, and their faces were blue-gray, although walking back and forth in the street of the guard station, it was obvious that the movements were stiff, not so much walking, but carrying out some kind of order.
"None of them are alive."
The voice of the medicine spirit came from behind, and the only nearby lifeforms displayed on the brain were the three of them, and no other lifeforms appeared around.
"What do you think?" Ye Bai wanted to hear Cao Xiaoseng's opinion.
Cao Xiaoseng looked at the 'people' who were still walking aimlessly on the street, they didn't show any aggression towards each other, just kept walking back and forth, occasionally stopping at the stall for a while, picking up the things on the stall, looking at it for a while, and then moving forward mechanically, Cao Xiaoseng thought about it, and didn't dare to draw too conclusions, and said: "I can't see the specifics, but looking at their behavior, do you think they are still alive, or do they themselves think they are still alive." ”
"Ah~."
Yao Ling suddenly screamed, his face was full of surprise, and said: "Are you saying that their consciousness is dead, but their bodies are still performing the actions of their lives, I have seen this kind of thing happen in the family book, or in the last civilization before the Dark Age, in a school, a student died for about a week, no one found out, he got up every morning with his dormitory roommates, studied, and slept for a whole week, and he didn't find it until he went to bed at night, and his roommates smelled a foul smell in the dormitory, It was only then that it was discovered that the person had been dead for more than a week. ”
"You're saying they're not conscious, they're just physically accustomed to walking on the road?"
Ye Bai also felt incredible, people can still move when they die? Muscle memory alone?
Yao Ling looked at the dead people patrolling the streets like zombies, and said, "There may be a reason for this, but don't forget that there are mutant beasts here that can control all the dead, what is the specific situation, no one can say now, why don't you go over and take a look?" ”
Yao Ling has a high talent in medicine since he was a child, and most of what he learned in the family before was theory, and it was not until he entered the Purple Star Academy that he slowly practiced it, this time it was such a good opportunity, and it was such a rare 'medical record', the fear in his heart was slowly overcome, and he couldn't help but move.
"In the past, we could, but we were all ready to fight, and we didn't know if if we would break the peace inside and make Tan En aggressive."
The entire guard station is just such a passage, Ye Bai and they didn't pass through the street, and they didn't send it over, but they just shuttled between the dead, feeling a little weird, and the pressure he felt was greater than that in the radiation area.
Yao Ling looked at Ye Bai and Cao Xiaoseng with the pulse gun in his hand, signaling that he was ready, and Ye Bai and Cao Xiaoseng didn't need to say any more, ready to fight at any time.
The three of them slowly approached the people who were still walking, and as soon as they stepped into their area, a foul smell hit their faces, making them faint.
The dead corpses passing by Ye Bai's side, the sound of muscles and bones rubbing could be heard in every step of the stiff body, the sound was not loud, but the number of dead corpses was numerous, and as soon as he stepped here, his ears were filled with dull friction sounds, which was annoying.
Ye Bai and the three of them walked through the gaps in the dead corpses, and the dead corpses around them seemed to be unable to see them, and they still did whatever they had to do.
"They don't seem to have a sense of perception." The medicine spirit was protected by the two of them between Ye Bai and Cao Xiaoseng, and she herself was observing the movements of these dead corpses.
Ye Bai's heart tightened when he heard the medicine spirit speak, afraid that the sound would cause a riot of these dead corpses, but seeing that there was no movement around, he was relieved.
"Could it be that they are really just brain dead, and the body remembers the usual muscle habits, and walks back and forth on the streets of the guard station every night."
Yao Ling looked at the dead corpses that kept passing by, his pupils had completely dissipated, and he had been dead for less than a week, and due to the hot weather, large patches of corpse spots on the corpse had existed on the skin of the dew.
Suddenly, the medicine spirit germinated to capture a dead corpse and study what was going on, whether it was the disaster of the mutant beast, or the body reaction after death.
"Can you catch a dead body for Ling'er and let Ling'er take a look, maybe you can find any clues from it."
Ling'er whispered between the two, after all, he had already experienced it once in the radiation zone, killing a xenomorph caused all the xenos in the vicinity to riot, and if this time it was like this, the same loss would be suffered two or twice.
"Are you sure?" Ye Bai and Cao Xiaoseng, who thought of Yao Ling, also thought of it, but they didn't say it out of concern, if they were surrounded here, they would really be unable to get through.
Ye Bai turned his eyes and saw that there was also a dead body in the shop next to the street, which kept appearing in the window, and then disappeared again.
"Let's go inside that house and see if we can catch a dead body for you." Ye Bai stretched out his hand and pointed to the house ahead, where there was only one dead corpse.
Ye Bai carefully avoided the dead corpses on the street, and tried to keep his body about one meter away from the dead corpses, so that the three of them now had the smell of rotting corpses.
Cao Xiaoseng cautiously observed the dead body's every move in the back, and at the moment when Ye Bai was about to open the door of the shop, Cao Xiaoseng's face changed greatly, "Something is wrong, go in quickly." ”
didn't have time to wait for Ye Bai to open the door, Cao Xiaoseng pushed the medicine spirit, bumped into Ye Bai's body, and directly slammed the door open.
Before Ye Bai, who broke into the door, could react urgently, he felt a foul smell on his face, and then his face felt wet.
"The corpses have changed, go in and deal with the corpses inside." Cao Xiaoseng's voice came in from outside.
Due to inertia, the Shocking Knife in Ye Bai's hand slashed straight forward, and the attribute power in his body didn't have time to mobilize, and the whole person fell forward.
Ye Bai, who had just fallen halfway, suddenly felt that something had been struck by the Shocking Knife, and instantly borrowed his strength to restore his balance, and only then did he see the situation in the store clearly.
And the medicine spirit rolled on the other side, and was just about to stand up, the power of the fire attribute was instantly attached to the sword in his hand, and before he could deal with the dead corpse in front of him, with a 'boom', Cao Xiaoseng flew in from the outside and hit the wall.
"Little monk!" Ye Bai brandished the Shocking Knife to kill the corpse, and at the same time called out to Cao Xiaoseng.
The corpse in front of him was different from what he had seen before, his entire head had exploded, and plant-like tentacles had grown from his neck, and there was a large dark red jagged mouth in the middle.
'Bang. ’
The slashing knife slashed at the tentacles of the corpses flying in the sky, making a sizzling sound, and the smell of burning came from the air, mixed with the stench.
A dark red tentacle was slashed by the Thrilling Knife, but immediately other tentacles attacked, hitting the Thrilling Knife, Ye Bai only felt a sharp pain in his wrist.
'So much strength! Ye Bai understood why Cao Xiaoseng flew in from the outside, if it was someone else's words, maybe even the wall collapsed, Cao Xiaoseng used his strength to unload the force, he still knew. ’
Ye twisted his wrist, feeling the strange power of the tentacles that was not much less than his own strength, and began to get serious and face the dead corpse.
"Be careful, the corpse has a lot of strength." Cao Xiaoseng breathed a sigh of relief and reminded Ye Bai.
And the dead bodies outside the door were not idle, constantly bombarding the walls of the store with their tentacles, and surprisingly, not a single dead body rushed in through the door.
Ye Bai felt the vibration caused by the continuous bombardment of the wall outside, the whole person stared closely at the dead corpse opposite, the power of the sword fire attribute flashed twice, and the orange slowly turned into dark red, a little close to black, obviously Ye Bai felt that the strength of the dead corpse was not weak with him after the blow just now, and the dead corpse that kept bombarding the wall outside didn't know when it would break through the wall.
"Fire Bodhisattva." With an angry shout, the power of the fire attribute that had been compressed twice instantly erupted from the Shocking Knife, and the power of the dark red fire attribute was scattered in the air, like red angry lotuses, and under Ye Bai's control, the coefficient merged into the dead corpse on the opposite side.
In addition to having more strength, the dead corpse on the opposite side seemed to have no other means of attack, and on the way to Ye Bai, the whole body wilted.
After two compressions, the power of the fire attribute has been compressed to the extreme, and the fire bodhisattva that entered the body of the dead corpse exploded from the inside out, and before it ran in front of Ye Bai, everything in the dead corpse had been burned out, and then the outer skin also burned, and it turned into a pile of black ash after a while.
"What's that?" The sharp-eyed eyes saw a green glow appear inside the black ash after the corpse turned to black ash.
Before the medicine spirit could make a move, suddenly the wall that had just been hit by Cao Xiaoseng appeared with ripples, and emerald green vines stretched out from it, merging the green luminous body into the vines.
"Boom."
Cao Xiaoseng, who had been accumulating strength for a long time, suddenly burst out, and the fingers of his two hands instantly extended to his wrists, and emitted a yellow light, ten of which were slightly curved, like ten arrows from the string blooming in the air.
In an instant, the wall of green vines stretched out was knocked down by Cao Xiaoseng.
"Let's go." Almost at the same time, Ye Bai and Cao Xiaoseng said to Yao Ling.
The wall that was knocked down by Cao Xiaoseng was the main support of the entire store, and at the moment the wall collapsed, the entire store wall began to crack, and the dead bodies outside took the opportunity to break the wall in front of them and rushed in.
It took less than a second for the three of them to jump out of the window, and then the dead body that had just rushed into the shop was buried under the rubble of the shop with a bang.
The three of them came out of the shop and jumped directly into a relatively high house, dodging the dead bodies that were still going crazy.
"How?" Ye Bai asked Cao Xiaoseng, it is said that with Cao Xiaoseng's reaction just now, there will be some gains.
"There's nothing, it feels like a wall, there is no mutant beast induction, and there is no reaction in the brain."
Cao Xiaoseng stretched out his finger guard, revealing the wall residue that remained on his finger.
"How so?"
Ye Bai looked at the white wall opposite and wondered.
