Noticing that Li Jiji's eye sockets suddenly twitched, Xuanzang explained casually: "I have done relevant historical research. So, what were the consequences of the plague? ”

"The zombies who took over the shelter lost their minds under the influence of the virus, and they became irritable and aggressive. Although our kind has previously gone berserk for psychological or physical reasons, the group of people who have gone berserk due to the virus have behad significantly different performances in some aspects.

"Their zombie evolution has become contagious, and they themselves have a will to spread it. Nearly two hundred years had passed since we were expelled. Frankly, things didn't get much better during this period.

"Some people have tried to integrate into ordinary people, and we hope to use the experience we have accumulated over the years to help everyone improve their living conditions. But most people have never been able to treat us well, and whenever something unexplainable and vicious happens, zombies are always the first to be suspected. Even if we give up contact with people, we will be 'purged' by them for some ridiculous reasons.

"In order to hide from others, we live in dispersal and try to live away from the crowds. Until one of us found the shelter empty again and regrouped us. ”

By the time Lee and the others had retaken refuge in the Vault, everyone in the vicinity had been assimilated by the Raging Zombies, including a handful of animals.

The zombies after the rage are still fragile due to their slow metabolism, but they are much more agile in their movements. The corresponding cost is that the body is overloaded for a long time, and the excessive physical exertion causes them to be thinner and thinner than ordinary zombies, almost turning into skeletons.

But they don't care. They don't like ordinary zombies, who avoid fighting to protect themselves. Their behavior is more driven by the virus in their body than by the nervous system.

Li and his companions speculated that the plague had transformed these former counterparts into another species.

So they took samples and synthesized a special poison gas by studying some of the external manifestations of the virus. This gas is a dispel for berserk zombies and deadly for creatures other than zombies.

As a result, they moved back to the shelter and regularly spread poison gas inside to keep all dangers out.

They embarked on a lengthy study to find a solution to the berserk virus and try to cure their own zombification.

However, despite the longevity of zombies, the facilities in the shelter do not enjoy the same treatment. A large number of aging equipment has been discarded beyond its useful life, and only three rooms still have electricity for research to continue. With limited technology, the hope of a breakthrough is becoming more and more slim.

What happened made Xuanzang sigh. As the author of the plague, he knew very well what the nature of the virus was.

It was precisely because of the heavy blow caused by the plague that most of the conservative members of the Immortal Buddha also replaced their semi-mechanized shells, creating favorable conditions for his next wave of attacks.

The main purpose is to force the reincarnation network to suspend the operation of the reincarnation network through the mass deaths created by the plague in the mortal world, so that the human beings, who account for more than 80% of the population by reincarnation, can be renewed.

As for the virus with a high lethality rate, the strange effect produced by encountering zombies with very different metabolic methods was completely beyond his expectations.

The outer part of the vault has been halfway through, and the search for the Nine-Tails has not progressed. Li Jiji said that further on was their residential area, and the Nine-Tails would definitely not be able to stay there, but he agreed that Xuanzang would go over and check it out.

At this moment, the timer set by Jing Liuli before made a prompt sound, they had been underground for forty minutes, considering the return time, Xuanzang had to leave immediately and go back to the car to replenish oxygen.

After reaching the ground, Goku asked, "Could she have left here already?" ”

"I can't say, but it's okay if I escape, my mind has changed." Xuanzang said, "If we talk well with the zombies, we may be able to get what we need directly." ”

The previous description of the Nine-Tails made them feel that the place they were going to was very dangerous, and they were all wandering outside and encountering that kind of rampaging zombies. Since this is the case at the moment, maybe you can reach a cooperation with the zombies in the shelter, and if you can't solve their problems in a short time, you can use the molecular reconstitution machine to provide them with better equipment as a bargaining chip.

"I always feel that something is wrong, and the fox will not run into here for no reason." Goku looked at the two zombies guarding behind the gate and said, "Could it be that she actually knows these zombies, they have already colluded just now." These are human spirits who have lived for hundreds of years, and that skinless face is also very suitable for deceiving people. I don't agree with the idea that you always see zombies as good people who have nothing to do with the world. ”

"Hmm...... To be honest, the brain structure of zombies is indeed more suitable for the world. ”

Just because you have a few hundred years of experience doesn't mean that everyone will become a calculating machine. People's thinking patterns are not as detached as imagined, and to a large extent, they are actually limited by physiological functions, thinking is the result of neural activity and hormonal action, and changing a physical body may lead to a great change in personality.

Xuanzang, who has many rebirth experiences, has a deep understanding of this, unless he undergoes semi-mechanized transformation, or uses superb biotechnology to strengthen the brain's active inhibition of hormones and nerve impulses throughout the body, even if he has experienced many winds and waves, when he changes to a new body, he will still have emotional fluctuations for many small things.

But he doesn't see it as a flaw, so he doesn't bother to change it.

For zombies, their plant-like bodily functions determine that their way of thinking tends to be more peaceful and conservative. Long-term thinking habits act in reverse on the self-adjustment of the nerves, making them more inclined to stay out of the situation and avoid unnecessary consumption.

"Of course, I've seen insidious zombies, so I don't trust them 100% casually." He said to Goku.

"You lack the means to defend yourself right now, so you'd better be more aware of the dangers that may arise." Wukong said solemnly, "Also, don't forget, the holy place mentioned by the dragon bone is most likely referring to this place. ”

Hearing this, Xuanzang put down the attached oxygen tank of the gas mask and slowly tapped on the front cover of the car.

A question came to his mind.

Nine-Tails denied that Dragonbone referred to the Vault as a "holy place", and her own description of the place was somewhat vague, at least she didn't mention that it was a Vault.

Xuanzang believed in Jing Liuli's ability to seek enemies, and the Nine-Tails did flee here. He had also seen a lot of rare parts in the vault that matched the description, and this part could match the Nine-Tails' remarks.

On the other hand, she also has an assessment of the place she wants to go is extremely terrifying, and people don't want to stay. But as far as Xuanzang can see so far, the zombies are very kind, and there is no blood in the shelter except for the corpses smoked by poisonous gas.

Assuming that the holy place in the dragon's bone's mouth and the place mentioned by the Nine-Tails were not the same place as the shelter in front of them, then many of their previous thoughts would lose their meaning.

But as Wukong said, knowing that the difference in strength was huge, the Nine-Tails chose to flee and fled here, not without reason.

If everyone is referring to the same place, then ......

"Sir." Xuanzang walked up to Li Jiji and asked, "I want to ask, will there be such an area in this shelter that is strictly forbidden to enter." ”
