Chapter 20: The Last Infected (2)
All kinds of conjectures have been subverted, Joel Baker actually dreamed that he was an infected person, the zombie apocalypse lacks creativity, and dreaming that he is a zombie is not new, but from the analysis of those newspapers, this is already the end of the infected, is this a dream of zombies playing survival?
"It shouldn't be that simple, this dream must have a deep meaning." Zhou Yu no longer hesitated and got on the bus.
The steel plate wrapped the bus tightly so that no light could penetrate it, so there were two lights on the roof, which was an armored car, only a four-finger-wide slit in front of the driver's seat that allowed the driver to see what was going on.
There are really a lot of infected people in the car, the first-order runners, the second-order stalkers, the third-order followers and the fourth-order Big Macs, among which the Voice Followers and the Big Macs are the most infected, they have no eyes, but their sense of hearing is sensitive, and they are all like normal passengers, sitting quietly in their seats.
The deeper the infection, the more terrifying it looks, but he is not much better, Zhou Yu sat down nervously, and was in a row with Baker, separated by an aisle.
"What's that?" After Zhou Yu sat down, Baker asked, pointing to the big cloth bag.
"Dry food?" Zhou Yu opened the cloth pocket, showed the dried corpse to Baker, and found the real quest NPC, the corpse was useless, he just forgot to throw it.
"You eat people?" Baker looked at Zhou Yu with wide eyes, very surprised.
Zhou Yu knew that it was bad as soon as he heard his tone, and explained with a dry smile: "Heh, just kidding, this is a good brother of mine, and I plan to take him back to his hometown for burial." ”
Baker breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "No matter what humans say, we don't eat people. ”
Zhou Yu didn't know what the worldview of this dream was, and asked curiously: "But I saw a photo that it was a voice follower eating people." ”
"The hand?" Baker sneered: "When the epidemic broke out, the infected did kill people, but never ate people, and after the zombie fungus mutated, we came back to our senses, stopped killing people, and even lived in peace with humans for a while, but Hanoke ...... In order to satisfy his ambitions and have more power, he made that infamous photo and launched a war against the infected. ”
"It turned out to be a pose." Zhou Yu nodded, and asked again, "Then how is the battle situation now?" I had just crawled out of the rubble, I didn't know how long I had been asleep, I didn't know anything about it. ”
It turned out that the war was launched, which can explain why the dry corpse was holding its back against the door, it should be resisting humans.
"We lost, we lost completely, it was a completely one-sided slaughter! The last of the infected in the car, before we die, we must kill Hanock. Baker said through gritted teeth, as if he hated the man named Hanock to the extreme.
"Why did you lose?" Zhou Yu couldn't understand: "Our number is much more than that of humans, and the fungus has brains after mutation, so it is impossible to lose." ”
Baker sighed: "The problem is the mutation and the mind, we understand the meaning of that photo, and begin to doubt and suspect each other, thinking that the fungus has a secondary mutation, causing some infected people to start eating people, so before the humans do it, they fight first, Hanock took this opportunity to lead his scientists to find a way to make the fungus mutate twice from a baby who can be immune to infection, but the secondary mutation will only make us die and completely become plants, and our number will be drastically reduced, Driven out and killed. ”
"That's what the old man was holding a baby." Zhou Yu admired Baker a little, just dreaming, there is no need to get such a complete world view, this guy's brain hole is estimated to be not small.
However, he didn't have much interest in the setting of this dream, but hoped to complete the task as soon as possible, so he asked, "Aren't you going to go home and have a look?" ”
The mission is to send Baker home, not to help Baker kill the target.
"Home?" A strange expression suddenly appeared on Baker's face, and he looked at Zhou Yu a little nervously: "Why do you want to ask this question?" ”
"Huh?" Zhou Yu didn't know why this question caused such a big reaction from Baker, and explained: "You just said that the infected and humans have lived in peace, and since they are living in peace, then they should have their own homes before the accident appeared, and they don't want to go back to see it?" ”
"I'm going back." Baker whispered, as if to say to himself, "I'll definitely go home, go home......"
Looking at his appearance, Zhou Yu felt that there might be a problem if he asked again, so he hurriedly changed the topic: "Where is Hanok?" What is our course of action? ”
Baker was thinking something in his mouth, not knowing what he was thinking, and he didn't hear Zhou Yu's question.
Zhou Yu raised his voice and asked again, only then did he wake up, cough lightly, and said: "He is on the top of the Ferriman Building in the center of Sticks City in front, we will drive this car into the building, and then act separately, from the elevator and stairs to the top floor, and kill him." ”
"It's that simple?" Zhou Yu felt that this was death, Hanoke was obviously a powerful person, and he had built his own base camp, and the infected person on the bus wanted to kill him? Or is it a hard break? I'm afraid that this car will be a problem to drive to the Ferriman Building.
"Don't worry, the city has just started to be rebuilt, there are not enough people, most of the soldiers have gone to help, the Feliman Mansion has just been built, the guards have not yet been arranged, the car will definitely be able to rush into the building, and we will definitely be able to go up to the top floor when we enter the building." Baker said with great certainty.
"Okay." Zhou Yu replied absentmindedly and began to look around, hoping to find the source of the dream before the bus rushed into the city.
But the source of the dream is not so easy to find, it may be one of the infected, or it can be a bug on the head of the infected, if you suddenly do it, the source of the dream will definitely notice him, and the probability of failure of the mission can be greatly increased.
Let's wait until there is a clue.
…………
The road conditions were bad, and the steel bus was very bumpy.
Zhou Yu couldn't see the situation outside the car, and there was no need to remember the road, the car never turned, indicating that the road was straight and long, and if you escaped, you wouldn't get lost, but they might not have a chance to escape
After driving forward for more than ten minutes, Baker suddenly stood up, walked to the driver's seat, and said to the middle-aged runner who was driving: "It's time to enter the city, I'll drive, I'm familiar with the road." ”
The runner nodded, didn't say a word, and had no intention of stopping, just stood up and walked to Baker's original seat and sat down, Baker very skillfully held the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator, and sat in the driver's seat.
Zhou Yu wanted to find some clues to the source of the dream, so he asked the runner, "Uncle, you were a university professor before you were infected, right?" ”
He remembered that Taibai said that the characters in the dream were independent, and the key people he met in Grimm's dream were all key people, and the infected people in the bus were probably all bento characters, so it was easier to see if they had their own thoughts.
The middle-aged runner smiled slightly, opened his mouth, and stuck out his tongue.
His tongue was so badly deformed that it was as hard as dry wood, and it rattled against his teeth, making it impossible to speak.
"I see." Zhou Yu nodded at him, then turned to the follower who was sitting behind him and asked, "This ...... Ma'am, you can't speak? ”
Most of the faces of the followers have mushrooms, not to mention age, and even gender cannot be seen.
She also shook her head and opened her mouth for Zhou Yu to see.
The Voice Follower's tongue could at least be discerned as the shape of a tongue, but the whole mouth was vegetated except for the teeth, like the trunk of an old tree, and she tapped the roof of her mouth with her tongue, making a crisp sound of "tuk", and the sound was a bit of a blow to the ears.
"Got it, that's how you localize by sound, right? I've heard that some blind people can do it, but it's not as easy as you are to flick your tongue. Zhou Yu looked at the giant in the distance, and thought secretly: "The third-order infected people are all hard like this, and the fourth-order must be more serious, so it's okay not to look at it." ”
The voice follower's mouth was black, and he couldn't imagine what happened in the mouth of the Big Mac as he looked at the madman.
Through the reactions of several infected people, it can be judged that they all have independent will, but there is no way to judge how high the intelligence is, if it is high enough to cooperate with the action, then the success rate of this operation can be greatly increased.
"The Big Mac can be used as a tank after being beaten; The Voice Follower has a high attack and high defense, and is definitely an output berserker character, and the Stalker dodges to play backstabs, and the runner can stay away to attract firepower. Zhou Yu began to seriously think about the tactical arrangement.
At this moment, Baker turned around and said loudly: "Attention, everyone, it's almost time for the level they set, we have to crash all the way in, hold on." ”
Zhou Yu immediately grabbed the metal pole next to the seat, and the rest of the infected people also quickly held on to the back of the chair in front of him.
Baker pressed the accelerator to the bottom and tightened his grip on the steering wheel with a nervous expression, and the steel plate at the front of the car then made a "clanging" sound, which was crisp and pleasant.
Someone in front of him was shooting at the bus.
The steel plate covering the bus is extremely thick, and it is estimated that the grenade can only blow up a dent, and the bullet cannot penetrate it, but the impact sound is really terrifying, Zhou Yu is a little nervous, and glanced at the same kind of people behind him, and saw that everyone was relaxed, so he had to pretend to be calm.
He couldn't see Baker's face, but from the hand he held on the steering wheel, the guy was also a little nervous, and his knuckles were white.
Zhou Yu thought of the strange appearance he had just said when he went home, and felt a little strange, even if they could kill Hanok, the chance of them escaping was almost equal to zero.
"The assassination target is on the roof of the building, which means that you have to come down after killing someone, unless you jump off the building directly, but in the newly built headquarters, the floor can't be too low, and I'm afraid it won't work to jump off the building and escape." He lowered his head and pondered: "He said that he would definitely go home, not that he must go home, obviously not to express determination, very strange......"
