013, Corpse Tide, Third Evolution
It took Gu Ren and Ye Qing three full days to survey the terrain of the New Era Mall and draw a topographic map.
The terrain of the New Era Mall was not complicated originally, but after it was destroyed, many places are now different from before, such as the back door, cleaning passage, and underground exit, which are blocked, and there is no way to pass at all, only a front door is left, and there are windows to enter.
It's just that many of the stairs at the entrance are no longer usable, and the floors are broken and broken, and it is difficult to pass. It doesn't seem to be destroyed after the zombie crisis, under that kind of disaster, people are just trying to run for their lives, although they will destroy a lot of things, but it is impossible to destroy the floor to this extent.
This gave Gu Ren the feeling that the floor was not broken by accident, but was artificially destroyed, and as for why it was destroyed, it was necessary to ask the second-level zombie entrenched in the center of the first floor.
Although it is a waste of time to draw a topographic map, of course, it does not take three days, the most important thing is that it is necessary to be familiar with Ye Qing's ability, Ye Qing's ability is very strong, and the power of the laser is not weak, that is, it must be used in a state of potential explosion.
But the potential explosion, to put it bluntly, this is an outbreak process, it can't last too long, and in the process of the explosion, it will consume a lot of your mental and physical strength, causing a serious burden on the body, once the burden is too heavy, it will crush your body, this is not a joke.
Therefore, Ye Qing's combat effectiveness and cooperation with the battle is a problem, in order to familiarize himself with his ability, Gu Ren has been luring the zombies near the mall for the past three days and destroying some of them, so as to relieve the pressure during the strong attack.
Although they hunted a lot of ordinary zombies and mutants, and also killed a few first-level zombies, it was really a drop in the bucket, what did it change, the number of zombies was too much, and under the rule of second-level zombies, their actions were unified, and they would not be scattered and always wander in the territory, just not to pursue deeply.
The continuous hunting made the second-level zombie's dissatisfaction accumulate to the limit, Gu Ren felt that if he continued to provoke, that guy would take the initiative to attack, but what he didn't expect was that the second-level zombie was quite calm and never came out.
This is very strange, as a zombie, although its current status is the highest, it can let its subordinates hunt for food for itself, without having to find food in person, but it is like a dead house, and it has been staying in the mall without leaving the door, which is really a bit abnormal.
Could it be that the second-level zombie has begun to evolve and upgrade now, if so, it will be a little troublesome.
"You're saying that the second-level zombie is now in the stage of evolution." Ye Qing also realized the seriousness of the problem, it was in the evolutionary stage, so it was equivalent to being in a weak period, and it was the best time to start at this time, but because it was a weak period, it would definitely not be defenseless, and it would not be easy to conquer it.
"The first evolution of zombies is on the seventh day after the outbreak of the zombie crisis, and the second evolution is about half a month after the first evolution, and now it has been almost a month since the second evolution, if it is calculated according to this law, then the third evolution should be about the same."
"Are we going to attack again?"
"Yes, of course, if it's in the middle of evolution, then you can't miss it, it's the best time, if it's not much different for us, isn't it? Otherwise, if it evolves into a third-level zombie, then we won't have the slightest chance at all, and the fact that the evolution speed of potential people is slower than that of zombies is always a weakness. ”
"In order to avoid long nights and dreams, prepare for it, let's do it tomorrow."
“…… Good! ”
The sun is shining, the golden sunlight is sprinkled on the earth, bringing a layer of golden light to the earth, everything wakes up at this moment, and the whole world exudes the vitality of life.
With the rising sun, the activities of those zombies also began to become active, bustling on the abandoned streets, looking for food, if they can't find a living person, the zombies who are overstarved and begin to collapse their bodies, in order to survive, will attack their own kind, and begin to evolve cannibalism.
It's been almost two months since the zombie crisis broke out, and it's a question of how many survivors there are, and how many are still barely breathing.
However, it is difficult to find living people in the city, that's for sure, if there are then they must be potential, otherwise they definitely don't have enough ability to survive in this cruel environment.
The number of zombies is gradually decreasing, but the quality of zombies is constantly improving, and the situation of zombies constantly devouring each other is being staged every day, for Gu Ren, this has long been a commonplace, but the atmosphere in the last two days is very unusual.
The zombies in the city gradually gathered together, hundreds of them gathered together, roaring like wild beasts, huddled together, they were no longer hostile to humans, but also to their own kind, and there was a strong desire to eat.
This phenomenon was before the second-level evolution of zombies, Gu Ren had seen it once, Gu Ren called this phenomenon the corpse tide, and now this phenomenon is happening again, it seems that the third evolution is coming, just in this day or two, the third-level zombie will be born.
On a smaller scale, there are two or three hundred together, and on a larger scale, thousands of them gather together, crowd and rub against each other, and then start beating each other and causing fights and bites, and finally it becomes a large-scale fight and devouring each other.
Because the third evolution is approaching, those wandering zombies no longer abide by any territorial consciousness.
At this time, in their already rotten minds, there is only one thought, that is, devouring, whether the other party is a mutant or an evolutionary, they must devour it, eat it into their stomachs, and make themselves stronger, otherwise their tattered bodies will be broken and eventually die.
As a result, everywhere on the street is zombies tearing each other, black blood spilled all over the ground, and a large number of stumps and broken arms, tattered corpses.
Bloody and cruel scenes are being staged, and the zombies in the territory of the New Era Mall are also involved in the battle.
"Things are going beyond my expectations, but it's okay this way, the zombies on the periphery are being towed, and it's much easier for us to get in, let's go."
