Seeing that everyone was staggering towards the mission building, the merchant walked over and pulled Xia Mi up from the ground.

"There's something weird about that zombie."

Xia Mi patted the soil on his body, twisted his eyebrows and thought for a moment before replying to Shang Fu's words: "I thought it was a coincidence at first, but his movements when he escaped the second time were too obvious. It's like...... He was scared of me as well. ”

After that, Xia Mi felt as if there was something wrong, but he couldn't say it. Recently, there have been more and more strange things, and Xia Mi has unconsciously developed the habit of rubbing his forehead. At the moment when her hand just touched her forehead, Shang Fu suddenly said, "He's not afraid of you. ”

When he said this, Xia Mi suddenly remembered that the zombie's first target was her.

For the Adept, the crystal nucleus in the zombie's brain is the source of energy for the advancement of power. For zombies, the living are their delicious food, especially the supernatural. Xia Mi has the highest ability level in the base, and it is normal for zombies to target her, but why is there a completely different choice later?

It's like, it's as if someone is manipulating him.

As soon as the thought popped into her head, the same feeling of being targeted as the night before swept through her nerves. With a slight chill on his back, Xia Mi took a deep breath and suddenly turned towards the back.

Nothing but empty walls.

Xia Mi narrowed her eyes. Half-asleep and half-awake before could be said to be an illusion, but now she is absolutely awake. She could almost confirm that someone was standing behind her and staring at her!

Tang Jin was startled by her sudden movements, noticing her staring at the city wall and her ugly face, he couldn't help but lower his voice a little: "What's wrong?" ”

Exhaling a breath, Xia Mi glanced at him: "Did you feel that someone was watching us just now?" ”

The evening breeze blows the shadows of the trees, and at the same time takes away the warmth that has been gathered on the surface of human skin. Tang Jin only felt a chill from the soles of his feet when he heard her words, and went straight up to the Heavenly Spirit Gai. As a family of inheritance, Tang Jin is not afraid of manpower, but respects ghosts and gods. The recent frequent situations have made him a little uncomfortable, and at this moment, he suddenly listened to Xia Mi's question, and he felt a little more frightened in his heart. Even so, he shook his head and gave his answer: "No." ”

Shang Fu, Yu Le and Tang Jin had the same feelings, they didn't notice the existence of other people, and they didn't notice the gaze that belonged to someone else in Xia Mi's mouth.

Knowing that he couldn't ask anything, Xia Mi walked back to the zombie on the ground, and stabbed the crescent moon into his head with his hand. With a click, a crystal nucleus glowing with purple light fell to the ground.

"Aren't crystal nuclei all blue? How can there be a purple one? It's weird. ”

Tang Jin asked questions, and Shang Fu and Yu Le naturally didn't reply to him without knowing it. As the only person in the know, Xia Mi leaned over and picked up the crystal nucleus. She remembered clearly that in the reward given by the dumplings not long ago, the fourth-level crystal nucleus was of this color.

The period of March is now, and they are working overtime to build the protection system in order to prevent the zombies from rising to level 2 on a large scale, but they didn't expect the level 2 zombie group to see the level 4 zombies before they saw it. If it is said that the second-level zombies encountered before were directly mutated after the ability was infected, then how to explain the corpses that suddenly became fourth-level zombies at this moment?

They have never been scratched by zombies, so there is no possibility of infection, so how did they become zombies? Where was he hiding before?

Staring at the crystal nucleus in his hand, Xia Mi frowned. Suddenly, a flash of light tore through the darkness like lightning in the night sky. Gripped the meniscus knife in her hand, she walked towards the shadows by the city wall.

The city's electricity was only partially restored, and only a light by the gate remained outside the protective wall. The coverage of the lights is limited, except for a part of the area near the city gates, and further afield is inky darkness. Yu Le and the three of them sensed her intentions, glanced at each other and followed together.

Under the rustle of leaves, the footsteps of several people were almost negligible. Once there is a guess in the heart, the uneasiness is like a flood that has opened the floodgates. Xia Mi felt as if a small hammer was hitting her head on the top of her head, causing nerves all over her body to tense.

When there was still about three or four meters away, Xia Mi stopped. The light of the flashlight suddenly lit up, casting out the darkness.

No one.

The tight strings in my brain broke, leaving only a palpitating exhaustion. Just as she was about to retract her steps, the merchant, who had been silent, suddenly took a few steps forward. The ground was covered with muddy dead branches and leaves, but he didn't care about pushing them away with his hands. The fingertips were stained with brown mud, and what was hidden under the branches and leaves was revealed to everyone.

A pair of footprints.

Looking at the dirt around me, it was obvious that I had just stepped on it. Thinking of the staring that Xia Mi had just said, the four of them fell silent. There are people in the dark who are staring at them all the time, and even clearly watching their every move, as long as the thought of this makes people's backs chill and their hearts chill.

Taking the last leaf away, the merchant took a closer look at the footprints and said, "It's a woman." ”

The woman who killed the first two deceased, the person who turned the corpse into a zombie, the extra footprints on the ground, the person who peeped in the shadows...... Everything is strung together in a line, just waiting for someone to forcefully uncover the door of the truth.

"I'm a little curious how she got out."

There were only footprints on the ground, and the rest was as smooth as ever, and the woman seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace of other existence.

Thinking of the direction of the line of sight just now, Xia Mi pursed her lips, and said in a dumb voice for a while: "She is not afraid of electricity." ”

Tang Jin's hand rubbing his arm suddenly froze in place, swallowing his saliva with difficulty, his tone trembling and being blown apart by the wind: "You mean, she's not human?" ”

As if the terrifying atmosphere wasn't enough, the howling wind made a sound of crying and laughing through the branches. In Tang Jin's gaze, which was obviously with a hint of fear, Xia Mi shook his head: "It's human." ”

Tang Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

"But not alive." Without looking at the three of them, Xia Mi set his eyes on the black barbed wire fence all over the city wall, "It's zombies." ”

And it's a high-level zombie.

This is the only way to explain why the deceased suddenly turned into a zombie, the only way to explain why the other party is standing in the shadows and they can't find the extra breath that should have been, and only then can it explain why the other party was able to infiltrate the base unharmed and succeed twice in a row.

This female zombie not only has force value, but may even retain the wisdom of being a human.
