Chapter 18: Witch? (Happy New Year!) )
"It looks like it was supposed to be a woman who changed after death, and we didn't plan to pay attention to it, but who knew that several of us almost died at its hands."
Komuro still has palpitations when he recalls the situation last night:
"It had a strange appearance, a very large mouth, a disgusting green liquid constantly flowing from its mouth, and a high-pitched scream. I don't know why, but I felt distraught when I heard it and just wanted to stay away from it!
Who knew it would suddenly open its mouth and squirt that green liquid at us! What's even more unexpected is that the liquid is corrosive! Luckily, Naga reacted in time and took Rei and me out of Venom's range, and Noah took the opportunity to shoot it with a bow and arrow, otherwise we wouldn't have known what to do. ”
Sure enough, they also encountered special zombies!
After listening to Komuro's words, Yang Chao thought so.
Next, Yang Chao, Shi Xuanliu and Kong Zhang took advantage of the time that Komuro Takashi and Kono Kota took care of Saya Takashiro, and got out under the pretext of smoking, and began to discuss their next plan.
When he heard that Yang Chao was ready to accept an optional mission to find the root cause of this Resident Evil, Kong Zhang couldn't help but ask in surprise:
"What? Are you not going to be with them anymore? ”
"Are you still going to be with them?"
Yang Chao glanced at Kong Zhang and asked rhetorically, his mind Yang Chao can more or less see that he has coveted Shizuka Jukawa, a school doctor with outstanding appearance and a strong figure, for a while, and even stronger than Shi Xuanliu's ** for Miyamoto Li.
However, Yang Chao doesn't plan to care about other people's affairs, his consciousness is not yet high to the level of the Holy Mother, as long as it is not strong, let them go.
"That...... Anyway, they're the protagonists, so it should be safer to follow them, right? It's also easier to trigger other tasks, isn't it? ”
"The protagonist? Safe? Yang Chao scoffed at Kong Zhang's words. I said, uncle,You don't still think this is a copy of the "School Apocalypse", right? ”
"Yang Chao, what do you mean?"
After hearing Yang Chao's words, Shi Jieliu looked at him and asked.
"The saliva girl you met yesterday when you went to save people, and the fat man, the flea, and the tongue monster we met when we were stubborn. None of this is in the original, right? ”
"What do you mean......"
Yang Chao glanced at Shi Xuanliu, and saw that his appearance didn't seem to be pretending, and wondered in his heart, could it be that he was wrong, he really didn't know anything?
Despite the doubts in his heart, Yang Chao continued:
"I don't think it's a copy of the School Apocalypse! Or rather, it's not just a copy of the School Apocalypse, although I don't know what exactly these particular zombies are. I don't know where they came from, but even the parts that aren't described in the School Apocalypse can't appear because they're definitely not something that an ordinary group of high school students can handle! ”
After hearing Yang Chao's words, Shi Xuanliu and Kong Zhang both nodded slowly, if it wasn't for them last night, the protagonist six in the original work would definitely be wiped out.
"Yang Chao, do you mean to say that since this copy is no longer "School Apocalypse", then the meaning of the protagonist of the plot no longer exists. So it's useless for us to follow them, isn't it? ”
Kong Zhang's reaction was actually not slow. After hearing Yang Chao say this, he suddenly realized.
Yang Chao shook his head, "Not really, although this copy is not all copies of the "School Apocalypse", but as the protagonist of the "School Apocalypse" copy, they still have an advantage, at least in the bed master city." ”
"And what do you mean?"
Kong Zhang asked puzzled. On the one hand, Yang Chao said that there was no future for following the protagonist in the original copy, and on the other hand, he said that they still had an advantage in the main city, which made Kong Zhang a little confused.
"I see!" Before Yang Chao could answer, Shi Jieliu spoke first, "You mean that the three of us will be with them for the time being." Leave as soon as you get into a situation, right? ”
"It's not the three of us", Yang Chao shook his head, stretched out his hand and nodded at himself and Kong Zhang, "It's the two of us." ”
"Why?"
Shi Xuanliu was not surprised, but asked calmly.
"Because you're Jing Haoyong."
Although this sentence sounded a bit clueless, Shi Jieliu and Kong Zhang understood what Yang Chao meant in an instant.
Whether it is Yang Chao or Kong Zhang, both of them are characters who did not appear in the original work, and their relationship with the protagonist group of six is not very close. If you have to say it, Yang Chao is the chief general of Miyamoto Li's gun department, and Kong Zhang has nothing to do with them, just a teacher who teaches Chinese.
So once something happens, it's very easy for the two of them to get out.
But it's different when the time break is different, he was directly given the identity of a plot character by the system after coming to this dungeon, and he is not an ordinary plot character.
In the setting of the original work, Hiroshi Ii is both close friends with the protagonist Takashi Komuro and the boyfriend of the first heroine Rei Miyamoto. With his ability to calm down and make sound judgments in any situation, as well as his ability to fight several karate fights, he is a perfect man in every way.
But it's precisely because he's so perfect that he doesn't seem grounded - people nowadays still prefer the protagonist who is flawed in some way, so the author made him receive a bento at the beginning of the plot, and his bento completely changed Komuro Takashi.
But now, Jing Haoyong, played by Shi Xuanliu, has no bento, so Komuro Takashi is suddenly a head shorter than him, although there is also the influence of the protagonist's luck - but this is not known to non-reincarnators.
In their opinion, it is obvious that Hiroshi Ii is more IMBA than Takashi Komuro.
So Yang Chao and Kong Zhang can go, but he can't.
"You're right, if you encounter clues, you can go first", Shi Xuanliu seemed to have thought it through, he took a deep breath and said to Yang Chao, "I'll stay with them, maybe I'll get other clues." ”
"Well, let's just decide."
Yang Chao nodded.
"By the way, what about Cheng Ying, will she stay or follow you?"
Shi Jieliu asked suddenly.
"Cheng Ying? You mean Noah, right? ”
After hearing his words. Yang Chao asked with a surprised face.
"Ah, it's Noah! I'm sorry, because she is also Chinese, and her name sounds more pleasant, so she made a slip of the tongue for a while, hehe. ”
Shi Xuanliu embarrassedly touched the back of his head and said.
"Don't talk about you. Even I sometimes get it wrong, hehe. ”
"Huh."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.
Soon, the group was armed and set out on the journey again.
Saya Takashiro finally came to her senses, and everyone was glad that she was indeed just frightened as Cheng Ying said, and was not bitten or caught by zombies, so there was no need to be afraid of being infected.
As the role of "Wizard" in the original protagonist's six-member squad, as soon as she woke up, she took the initiative to ask about the situation last night and began to analyze:
"So it seems that we still know too little about 'them'." Saya Takashiro pushed his glasses and began to analyze, "Not only do 'they' become infinitely powerful after death and lose their sense of pain, but there is also the possibility of evolution. ”
"Evolution?"
Tsukiko Poison Island glanced at her.
"Yes, it's evolution."
Saya Takashiro nodded and said with a solemn gaze.
"But...... aren't 'they' already dead?"
Rei Miyamoto asked puzzled.
"Hmph, that's just a secular opinion."
Saya Takashiro pushed his glasses again. She is not very interested in Miyamoto Li, the childhood friend that Komuro Takashi has always liked, so she choked at the moment.
"Seniors. Are you saying that we don't have a comprehensive understanding of them? ”
Miyamoto Li was about to have a seizure, Cheng Ying smiled softly and spoke.
For this junior from China, Saya Takajo still has a good attitude, and when he heard her question, he nodded and continued:
"I've analysed the characteristics of 'them'. Actually, in a sense, I think 'they' are actually evolving. ”
"Evolution? How can it be! Komuro immediately objected, "They have lost even the most basic sanity!" ”
Miyamoto Rei, Ihaoyong, Shizuka Jukawa, and Yui Kiyota all nodded their heads in agreement, and Komuro said takachio.
"As long as it is a living thing, there is the possibility of self-disciplined evolution. The way humans have become what they are is is in some ways indeed evolving. ”
"Why don't you even ...... seniors?"
Miyamoto Li looked at Yang Chao in surprise, not understanding why he said that.
"It is absolutely impossible for an ordinary person who has not been trained to break an ordinary door, let alone a woman and an old man, but after becoming 'them', it becomes a breeze to break the door.
In addition, 'they' lose their sense of pain, and with them other weaknesses in the whole body, as long as their heads are not destroyed, then they do not stop moving, and on the other hand, their physical fitness is greatly enhanced.
Human beings are originally a species that is constantly evolving, and this evolution is mainly manifested in two aspects, one is intelligence, and the other is physical strength. Then we can understand that 'they' have indeed evolved, but in the process of evolution, there have been accidents, resulting in successful evolution in physical strength, but not only has not evolved in intelligence, but has degenerated. ”
Everyone looked at Yang Chao in surprise, but Saya Takajo said excitedly:
"The seniors are right! I just thought about that! And judging from what you encountered last night, there are indeed many different possibilities for their evolutionary directions, whether it is the fat man, or the flea, the tongue monster, or the saliva girl, they are obviously more high-end existences than 'them'. ”
"That's it, so 'they' are indeed evolving, but it's very likely that the gene chain has undergone some unknown changes when it is recombined. So can we make a hypothesis? ”
"What assumption?"
After hearing Yang Chao's words, Saya Takashiro became even more excited, and even his eyes under the lenses began to shine.
The conversation between the two made everyone on the side confused, except for a few people such as Cheng Ying and Poison Island Tsuneko, everyone else was at a loss.
"I don't know what that means, but it sounds like it's awesome."
"Is this a top student?"
"Sure enough, the scumbag and the top student are completely people from two worlds!"
Everyone looked at Yang Chao and Gao Cheng Saya, and they were all convinced.
At this moment, Yang Chao said something that surprised everyone:
"If 'they' can evolve successfully, will there be monsters with all kinds of special abilities and high intelligence?"
As soon as Yang Chao said this, the neighborhood suddenly became silent.
After a while, Saya Takashiro spoke:
"Senior, are you saying that we are likely to encounter monsters with the same sanity as us, but at the same time infinite strength, agility, and abilities like saliva girls, tongue monsters, and fleas?"
If Yang Chao said something vaguely just now, then Saya Gaocheng's words made everyone present shudder, although it was a sunny day at the moment, many people had cold sweat oozing from their backs.
Saliva Girl, Tongue Monster, Fat Man, and Flea were the nicknames that Yang Chao gave to the four special zombies they met last night, and until they figured out what they were, everyone used Yang Chao's name for them.
The thought of the existence of monsters with their abilities and IQ made everyone present feel like a big stone weighing heavily on their hearts.
"Of course, that's just my guess."
Yang Chao shrugged and said.
"But I think it's very likely that my predecessors said this."
As soon as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Saya Takajo's words made them nervous again.
"Hey, Gao Cheng-san, don't scare me."
Shizuka Jukawa patted her chest, her action made everyone present look at her a few more times, but she didn't know it.
"So what should we do now?"
After the initial shock, Poison Island Tsuneko turned her eyes to Yang Chao and Saya Takajo and asked.
"Go to the organization, seek protection."
"Find out what caused this mutation."
The different answers of Saya Takajo and Yang Chao also illustrate their different attitudes towards this matter, one is to defend and the other is to attack.
Next, the group abandoned the car and walked towards Saya Takashiro's home, because the goal set by everyone at the beginning was to determine the safety of the other members of the family of everyone present one by one, and Saya Takashiro's home was the closest to here, so everyone set the goal here.
Without the use of vehicles, although the speed of travel is greatly reduced, the noise is also reduced, and it will no longer attract a large number of zombies to come and watch. However, everyone still did not dare to relax their vigilance in the slightest, after all, after the fierce battle last night. (To be continued.) )
