Everyone came to the courtyard that the woman had mentioned, and sure enough, in the corner they saw a cellar, and there was a one-meter-square cellar, which was originally covered by a wooden board and a rough cement slab by the owner, but now they were scattered aside.

"I lifted that plank." The woman said timidly: "As soon as I opened it, I heard the screams of zombies, and I was so scared that I ran out without even seeing what it looked like." ”

Although this woman looked scared to death, her mind was still very clear, and there was no situation where she was too frightened to move. Could it be that after experiencing the life of a bungalow, the heart has also become tough?

A few people looked down the cellar, it was a typical rural vegetable cellar, not too deep, the sun shone directly on the bottom, and from the longing down, you could see part of the cellar, the walls were made of stone and cement sand, the ground was soft sand, and the cellar seemed to be empty.

A wooden ladder leaned against the wall at the entrance of the cellar, and the zombies should have climbed up it.

You can roughly guess the situation at that time: the woman opened a wooden plank, and the movement and light that stood out from it alarmed the zombies locked underneath, who rushed up the wooden ladder and knocked another cement slab away by the way—the two boards scattered were very different from each other, and the one that almost became fragments should be the zombie's masterpiece.

This woman was really lucky, if it wasn't for the other party crawling out of the cellar and wasting some time, it would have been a zombie's meal.

"This zombie can already climb ladders," Chu Zhaonan said, "Fortunately, there are no ladders on the wall of the chicken farm." ”

"If one day they learn to climb walls, they won't need ladders." Cui Shu told a joke that was not funny, looked down at the mouth of the vegetable cellar, and said, "I think it is necessary to go down and investigate." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and it was naturally necessary to go down to see, but who would go down first? Although nothing can be seen, who can guarantee that there is no other zombie hiding underneath.

Zhang Zifeng subconsciously looked at Ren Fei, she could feel the presence of zombies nearby, which was a very good early warning.

Seeing Ren Fei shaking his head, Zhang Zifeng said, "I'll go first." As he spoke, he climbed down the ladder.

The temperature inside the cellar was much lower than outside, and the foul air was blowing in its face, mixed with a strong musty smell, consistent with the smell of zombies, indicating that this was its home.

Zhang Zifeng suddenly remembered that in this kind of long-term closed vegetable cellar, carbon dioxide will accumulate and cause the concentration to exceed the standard, so he will not be poisoned by it.

After staying in the middle of the ladder for a while, he noticed that there was nothing abnormal in his body, and then continued to walk down. Probably because the cellar has been open for a while and has been passing through the wind.

Stepping on the soft sand, Zhang Zifeng found that this vegetable cellar was not large, similar to the living room of ordinary people in the city.

Looking around, there was nothing but four rudimentary walls. Only the sand on the ground was pitted, showing traces of the zombie's existence.

The people followed him down to the cellar and were disappointed to see this. There doesn't seem to be any clue to the zombie mutation here, could it be that you can become like that after being locked up in the dark for a while?

Cui Shu walked around the cellar, pointed to the mottled wall and said, "Look at these traces, there should be some vegetables and other things stored here, but now there is nothing." If you didn't guess wrong, you should have been eaten by zombies. ”

The strong smell of rotting fruits and vegetables in the air confirmed his thoughts, which was also in line with the theory that zombies eat grass.

Chu Zhaonan said: "If according to what you said, there were originally vegetables stored here, why is the ground so clean?" At least, there should be something like rotten vegetables and straw. The implication is that he disagrees with his words.

Zhang Zifeng also has experience in this regard, when stacking vegetables in the vegetable cellar, there are often some straws in the middle, otherwise the vegetables are easy to rot.

"Those things, they've all been eaten." Cui Shu said meaningfully: "I suspect that as long as it is organic matter, zombies can swallow it in their stomachs. ”

If it's like what he said, then this zombie is really not picky.

Cui Shu leaned down, grabbed a handful of sand, rubbed it with his hand, it was wet and slightly sticky, and said: "Put sand at the bottom of the vegetable cellar, it is used to bury things, chestnuts, radishes, peanuts, buried can be stored for a long time." ”

He said as he dug down with his hands. After touching for a long time, he found a small peanut, and then said: "I'm sure that the food that was originally buried here has been dug up and eaten up by zombies, and this peanut is the only fish that has slipped through the net." ”

Everyone's eyes widened, zombies not only eat everything, but also take the initiative to dig up food to eat? This does not match the impression of being stupid and stupid, it is simply a sapient creature.

Before they turned into zombies, they were indeed very intelligent, and they were the smartest ones on earth.

Cui Shu straightened up, patted the sand on his hands, and said: "We can boldly assume that a middle-aged man, for some reason, happened to stay in this covered cellar at the end of the world - maybe it was covered by the naughty bear child, so he became a lonely zombie here." ”

After completing the physical mutation, he began to feel hungry, but fortunately he had a lot of food to fill his stomach with. Over the next few months, he ate everything he could eat and grew stronger, until one day a woman opened the mouth of the cellar, led it out, and died at the hands of Zhang Long's gun. ”

"If all the zombies in the world are like it, they can silently become stronger by eating, and we are afraid it will be more difficult for us to survive."

"Dr. Cui, maybe you have a point, but I still have a question," Xu Hong said, "You said that this zombie has been locked up here for a long time and has eaten a lot of things, so doesn't it?" Why don't I see excrement? ”

Although the woman's words were vulgar, they were also where Zhang Zifeng was puzzled. If you only swallow and don't spit out, won't you become a pixiu?

"The so-called metabolism is naturally absorbed and excreted, and this zombie should be no exception." Cui Shu answered, staring at a special pile of sand in the corner of the vegetable cellar, the size of the particles was about the same, but the color was very different.

He continued, "These should be its droppings. I found this in the zombie's pants just now. "His observations are always more nuanced than others.

Everyone had a chill, and the zombies didn't take off their pants when they pooped.

The biggest reaction was Xiong Xianming, who rubbed his hands against the wall vigorously, with a look of lovelessness on his face.

When Cui Shu was digging down with his bare hands just now, he happened to find this special pile of "sand", which had a strange color and no smell, so he dug down like Cui Shu.

I didn't expect it to be a pile of! Even Ren Fei stayed away from him with disgust.

Chu Zhaonan said: "I still have a question. Someone lifted the plank at the entrance of the cellar, so the zombie climbed up the ladder, and by the way, knocked the cement slab that blocked half of the entrance to the cellar into the air. This means that he can climb ladders and is strong enough to knock through the board, so why hasn't it rushed out after being locked up here for months? ”

This is also a question for everyone. Zombies are smart and strong, but they don't even do such simple things, which obviously doesn't make sense.

It doesn't make sense to say that because there is no sound to attract zombies out. After a few months, there will be some movement outside, which is much more noisy than the silent cellar.

His eyes turned to Cui Shu again, and the latter pondered for a long time and said, "I don't know this either." ”

"I have a guess." Zhang Zifeng opened his mouth and said: "Maybe it's because after the cellar door is opened, the sunlight comes in." Zombies probably like to bask in the sun. ”

Because this slightly joking thing was said by Zhang Zifeng, no one refuted it, but no one would fully believe it.

In fact, Zhang Zifeng is almost certainly the reason.

Because I love to bask in the sun!

When the sun shines on your body, it is not only a warm feeling, but also a feeling of more and more energy after a long time, which I have never experienced before.

In fact, he likes to wear a vest to expose the wound to the air on the surface, which is conducive to healing, but in fact, the more important reason is that he likes the feeling of being exposed to the sun!

This phenomenon was discovered when he rushed out of the rental house, and he liked it more and more since then. He even suspected that his skin had darkened, perhaps because he had contracted a virus, or it could have simply been tanned.

If he wasn't with these humans, he would rather lie on the ground and bask in the sun with nothing on his own. Could it be that Lin Xue's little white face was naked, was that the reason?

After climbing out of the cellar, there was no smile on everyone's faces, only Zhang Long still looked dead.

This zombie seems to make everyone understand a lot of things, but sometimes it is more uncomfortable to know the truth, and it costs more to survive in this strange world.

Walking out of the yard, the huge body of the zombie was still in the middle of the road, Zhang Zifeng suddenly remembered Qiao Sen and felt a trace of regret.

Qiao Sen was able to command dozens of zombies at the same time, but he was always troubled by the lack of quality of his soldiers. So he fought to collect hundreds of zombies in the chicken farm, making it his home turf, and making up for the quality gap with quantity.

Doing so inadvertently made him miss the opportunity to improve his strength.

Jossen himself likes to eat people, but he ignores that zombies also need to replenish energy.

Hundreds of zombies are concentrated in the chicken farm, unable to eat, and their bodies are slowly weakening; Even if some zombies are taken out by Qiao Sen, they have always been firmly controlled by his mental power, and they can't get the opportunity to be filled with food, so they won't get stronger.

If Jossen had commanded a group of zombies as strong as today, I'm afraid the battle would have ended in the early hours of yesterday morning.

While Zhang Zifeng felt lucky, a chill rose in his heart.

Obviously, the zombies in the chicken farm were artificially confined and did not become too strong. And the zombie in front of him can eat on its own and its body is extremely strong, which is the norm in this world now.

Let's ask, if all the zombies become so strong, will the surviving humans still have any hope of survival?
