Chapter 35: The Living Corpse Appears
Soon, Xiaoyu was led by more than a dozen SS soldiers to Vincent's office.
This was the first time he had met Vincent, and although Vincent had appeared on TV a lot of times, it was the first time he had actually met. The courage to deal with zombies in the past seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and he saluted with some apprehension, and stammered: "Yuan...... The Führer's ...... Your Excellency, Your ...... Hello. I...... My name is Xiaoyu. ”
Vincent smiled slightly, and said softly: "Don't be polite, young man, tell me what you mean, what is so serious that you have to see me before you say it?" ”
Xiaoyu looked left and right at the dozens of SS soldiers standing in the room, and her face showed a sad expression. Vincent saw it and said with a smile: "Okay, Lao Wang stays, and everyone else goes out." ”
After speaking, except for Lao Wang, who had been the captain of Vinson's Guards after the establishment of the Federation, the other SS troops all retreated to the door, and the huge office was left with Vinson, Lao Wang and Xiaoyu. Seeing that everyone had left, Vincent smiled at Xiaoyu again and said, "Okay, now you can say that Lao Wang is my old buddy, absolutely loyal to me, and will not spread the words inside." ”
The story of Vincent and his first followers is known to all, and their experiences have even been made into a movie. So Lao Wang's name, Xiaoyu has heard of it, and he naturally won't have any dissatisfaction with Lao Wang's existence. His eyes suddenly turned red, and he slowly recounted his adventure to Vincent......
Xiaoyu and Uncle Lei received a mission in the Adventurers' Guild to explore a small city about 200 kilometers northwest of the Federation. At least 3 waves of zombie hunters have suddenly and mysteriously disappeared from that location, and the task is to find out why those zombie hunters disappeared. With high profits, naturally accompanied by high risks, the mortality rate of the zombie hunter class is still quite high, so exploration missions like this are very common in guilds.
It took them half a day to drive the vehicle to their mission location, so they began to follow the exploration process and search. When they enter this small town, their first impression is that there are very few zombies in this small town. Unlike other cities, where the streets are full of zombies, this small town is empty and dead.
Suddenly, they noticed a figure flashing at the door of the underground parking lot of a large supermarket in the distance, as if someone had entered it. "Anyone, survivors? Or a missing zombie hunter? The two looked at each other and decided to go over and have a look.
When the two of them crept to the entrance of the parking lot, they found that there were many footprints at the entrance, and some dried blood stains, and it seemed that there were many people coming and going here. In this case, it is not inhabited by zombie hunters, but local survivors. The average survivor is very hostile to outsiders, and in order to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings, the two of them decide to quietly climb into the underground parking lot along the pipes arranged above it.
Fortunately, those pipes are very thick, and there are quite a few of them, so there is no problem at all to support the weight of two people. So, the two of them quietly followed the pipe into the underground parking lot, because there was no light inside, the environment was dim, they could only barely see some things around them, and they couldn't see anything further away.
They didn't notice anything until they climbed to the center of the parking lot, and suddenly, they heard a faint voice of speech coming from their right. The voice was dry and hoarse, and people couldn't help but get goosebumps when they heard it. After the two looked at each other, they decided to go over to see what was going on, so the two quietly crawled in the direction from which the sound came.
The two of them stood at the door of a room, as if they were discussing something, but because their voices were so hoarse, they could only faintly hear the words "awakened", "compatriots" and "human". And their whole bodies were wrapped in a wide black robe, and nothing could be seen, but Xiaoyu, who had a sensitive nose, smelled a rancid smell from the two of them. This is the smell of zombies, how can humans smell of zombies? It must be that these two people soaked the robe with zombie blood, so that draping it on the body can make the zombies mistake them for the same kind, this trick was invented by Vincent, and now all zombie hunters often use it, Xiaoyu thought so.
At that moment, a man came out of the room, and although he was also dressed in a black robe, he did not wear the big hood, so his whole face was exposed. However, when Xiaoyu turned his eyes to his face, he was suddenly shocked, only to see that the person's skin was grayish-white, the hair on his head had almost fallen out, and in some places there was a broken scalp. Many parts of his face were badly rotted, and there were no eyeballs in either eyeball, except for a white eyeball that protruded high above the socket. His nose had rotted away, and now there were only two holes left in the place where it had been, and he had no lips, and his gray-white teeth mixed with purple-black corpse blood were exposed to the air.
This is a human being, obviously a zombie, but how can a zombie be intelligent? I'm still talking to the person at the door. At this time, the two people at the door also took off their hoods, revealing their true faces of Lushan, and sure enough, the two who had been wearing hoods were also zombies. Are zombies intelligent? Xiaoyu suddenly felt the sky spinning, and inadvertently, his hand grabbed a thin pipe beside him, making a slight "squeak" sound.
However, this little sound is enough for the hearing zombies to spot their tracks. One of the zombies turned its head in the direction of their hiding place and shouted, "What person? ”
If it were really ordinary zombies, the two of them could have stayed still and waited for the zombies to leave. But in the face of these three, oh no, hearing the zombie's shout, five more zombies with the same intelligence as them ran out of the house. The 8 zombies slowly walked in their direction, and at this time, Uncle Lei pulled the light rain violently and roared, "No chance, run." ”
With that, the two of them jumped down the pipe above, and then pulled their legs and fled in the direction of the exit, while the zombies behind them followed closely. This escape is 5 days, and he can't get rid of the zombies behind, and he was caught up again and again, until Uncle Lei was caught by the zombies and had to kill him with his own hands.
Listening to his description, whether it was Vincent or Lao Wang, their faces became extremely ugly. When the lab extracted the mutant gene from the zombie and successfully created the biochemical warrior, it was suggested that since the zombie carried the mutant gene, it was likely that the zombie would also mutate. After all, more than a billion people in the country have been infected with the plague, even if there is a 1 in 10,000,000 chance, there will be at least more than 100 mutant zombies.
However, theory is theory, but no one has actually encountered mutant zombies, so this hypothesis has been shelved. It's just that Vincent didn't expect that so soon, there would really be mutant zombies. In fact, the laboratory has long simulated the mutation process of zombies, and after countless calculations and experiments, they initially came to a conclusion that mutated zombies will produce the same high intelligence as humans after mutation, but all their memories will disappear, and new memories will be counted from after they awaken.
The mutated zombies are much faster than ordinary zombies in terms of strength and speed, and even some special mutated zombies will produce some abilities. However, regardless of the mutation, they will have one thing in common, and that is that they can command all the unintelligent zombies around them. The lab has given this sapient mutant zombie a new name—the living corpse.
Thinking about the scene of hundreds of millions of zombie armies attacking the Federation under the leadership of hundreds of living corpses, thinking of this, the cold sweat on Vincent's forehead couldn't help but burst out.
