039, a living corpse in the fog
The sun sets and night falls.
Wang Zheng stands on the edge of the rooftop, looking down.
I saw that as the sunlight disappeared, the time and space were empty and silent during the day, and there were only garbage, abandoned vehicles, and bloodstains and broken bones on the streets, and there were gradually more gray and thin figures.
It's the mutated living corpse.
They come in groups of three or five, pouring out of the dark places where they hide during the day, wandering aimlessly. Occasionally, he raised his head and let out a meaningless roar, causing the surrounding living corpses to respond.
As far as the eye can see, there are hundreds of living corpses. I don't know how many places I can't see.
Through Guoguo, Wang Zheng already knew that after the fog rose at night, the living corpses shrouded in the thick fog would become sluggish and dull, and their aggression would drop drastically.
As for how Guoguo knew, of course, it was seen in the mind of the little pet Kiki.
As a transcendent evolutionary, Guoguo would fall into an unconscious slumber every night before last night.
But Kiki is not an extraordinary animal.
Although it passively improves its intelligence in the spiritual communication with Guoguo, it will not fall into a coma, and will go out to forage for food at night, and has seen the clumsy appearance of living corpses under the thick fog.
However, it is not until after 12 a.m. that the fog becomes obscured every night.
So after the sun goes down and before the midnight fog thickens, these few hours are the peak of the activity of the living corpses. For ordinary people, this period is also the most dangerous period.
But overall, the current situation is very good for the survivors.
If there is sunlight during the day, the living corpses will not come out, and the survivors can take advantage of this opportunity to go out and move. After the midnight fog thickens, the living corpses are sluggish and clumsy, and the survivors can rest and sleep well.
And the few hours of the peak activity of the living corpses, as long as they are careful and quiet, they can almost survive safely.
After all, the current mutant living corpses, although their lethality has increased greatly, still have no brains, and they do not have the intelligence to actively search for prey. As long as it does not make a noise that attracts the attention of a living corpse, or emits a strong body odor or bloody smell, it will not attract a living corpse.
Speaking of which, the living corpse seems to only target humans, and has little interest in other animals.
Whether in the city or in the suburbs, Wang Zheng has never seen an example of a living corpse actively attacking animals.
Of course, if the animal actively attacks the living corpse, the living corpse will still fight back.
Before Wang Zheng left the city, he saw a stray cat in the community trying to attack a living corpse, but was bitten to death by the living corpse.
However, it is worth pondering that after the living corpse bit the stray cat to death, it did not eat the cat's corpse. And the cat's corpse did not mutate, just died normally.
Looking back now, Wang Zheng feels that both the living corpse and the living corpse virus seem to be deliberately targeting humans.
"If the plague of living corpses is indeed man-made, then the purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes feels like they want to exterminate the human race!"
Wang Zheng thought so, but there was one point, and he couldn't say anything: "However, if you really want to exterminate all mankind, how can you let the Zhao family know about it, so that they can prepare in advance and avoid the outbreak of the virus?" I can't figure it out......"
What he can't figure out for the time being, Wang Zheng doesn't want to waste more brain cells.
Retracting his divergent thoughts, he shifted his focus to the important things at hand.
"In the dense fog, the living corpses have become clumsy and sluggish, and their aggression has greatly decreased, can I take this opportunity to sneak into the Tianquan Temple under the cover of the dense fog?"
There may be many living corpses on Tianquan Mountain, and the dense shade of the trees can provide space for the living corpses to move, and it is more dangerous to go up the mountain during the day, and it is likely to be besieged by a large group of living corpses on all sides.
But if you go up the mountain in the middle of the night when the fog is thick and the living corpses are in a state of sluggishness, then the trouble can be solved—in that situation, the living corpses are basically not threatening, and there is no need to worry about being surrounded by a sea of living corpses.
The only problem is that since last night, the transcendentally evolved Du Feifei, Iron General, and Guoguo will no longer fall into an unconscious sleep, but will wake up normally.
And what about the living corpses?
Will there be anything new?
Looking at the living corpses wandering the streets below, Wang Zheng touched his chin and said to himself: "You have to test it first." ”
Wang Zheng has always acted after making a decision, and being brainless and reckless is not his style of acting.
In his opinion, only those who have absolutely invincible strength and an eternal and immortal body are qualified to be brainless.
Otherwise, any reckless action is not responsible for one's own life.
It's one thing to think about a possible danger beforehand, but it's another thing to think about it and be too bothered to do it.
The night is getting thicker and the fog is rising.
It was midnight, and the fog had crept into every room in the hotel.
Guoguo had already fallen asleep after eating the noodles cooked by Wang Zheng. Kiki, the Dutch pig, also lay on the side of Guoguo's pillow and slept soundly.
Wang Zheng quietly came to the bedside, silently observed the sleeping fruit, and found that the little girl in the sleeping state did not seem to have anything abnormal on the surface.
But after careful observation, Wang Zheng found that a small piece of skin in the center of her eyebrows would tremble slightly from time to time, as if there was an invisible force in the center of her eyebrows, pulsating slowly.
After observing silently for a while, Wang Zheng quietly left again and made a gesture to Ah Qing who was guarding the door.
The two closed the door and left silently.
If it is true that the living corpse in the fog is extremely clumsy, then it will not be dangerous for her to stay alone in the hotel.
If tonight's living corpse is no longer as clumsy as before, but has regained its mobility, then after the temptation, Wang Zheng and Ah Qing will also retreat in time, and Guoguo will not be in danger either.
After all, the interior of the hotel has been cleaned, and the door of the hotel is a world-famous domestic tempered glass with a degree of solidity, even if it is a mutated living corpse, it is not easy to break it.
……
The night was deep, the fog was thick, and I couldn't see my fingers.
Wang Zheng's rifle was loaded with a captured tactical flashlight, and he walked silently in the thick fog.
Ah Qing followed behind him, carrying a bamboo pole in his right hand and a flashlight in his left hand, shining in all directions.
They had left the hotel and were walking down the road outside the hotel.
After walking for a short time, the flashlight suddenly shone a thin figure.
Wang Zheng stopped suddenly, held his breath, and stared motionlessly at the emaciated figure, the muzzle of the gun already aimed at its head.
It was clear that it was a living corpse.
But unlike the living corpse during the day, this living corpse stood in the shadows in a daze, and did not react to Wang Zheng and Ah Qing a few meters away.
Seeing the living corpse in the thick fog, still as sluggish as Guoguo said, Wang Zheng was overjoyed, and felt that his plan to take advantage of the fog to go up the mountain was somewhat successful.
Next, it's time to try how sluggish the living corpses in the fog will be.
Bang!
Wang Zheng stomped his feet heavily, deliberately making a loud noise.
The living corpse heard this loud noise, but it only turned its head slowly, and its dark red eyes looked directly at Wang Zheng's location. After its eyes were illuminated by the bright light of the tactical flashlight, it slowly raised its claws to cover its eyes.
After that, it walked slowly, step by step, towards Wang Zheng, staggering like a wind candle in its old age.
Wang Zheng was not in a hurry to shoot, and waited until the living corpse walked up to him, stretched out its claws, and tried to grab him, then pulled the trigger and shot the living corpse in the head.
After killing the living corpse, Wang Zheng turned around and smiled at Ah Qing: "Find a few more to try." If it's all so sluggish, then we'll take advantage of the fog to go up the mountain tonight! ”
