Chapter 29: Mutated Zombies

The deserted streets were deserted, revealing a dead silence. Lu Li walked alone on the silent street, his expression was very solemn. Along the way, the strangeness of the period made him feel an inexplicable sense of crisis.

There was no trace of a zombie.

What a similar scene. It was the same in that county. The zombies seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and the wide streets were quiet. Only the breeze blowing and rolling up the scrap newspapers on the ground brought a little life to the dead streets.

Here it comes.

Lu Li is sure. According to his experience in the county seat, the evolved zombie didn't know where to hide, silently waiting for the opportunity to kill itself and eat the flesh containing the human body's enhancer. Otherwise, how could the short shootout just now not alarm even a single zombie.

Walking two streets, he came to the department store. It used to be one of the busiest areas of City A. It's a pity that the prosperity of the past is no longer there. The glass door was wide open, and from time to time a gust of wind rolled in from inside, which made people shiver.

He stood in the doorway, listening intently to the movement in the building. The more he listened, the more solemn his expression became. After a while, he looked up at the spacious first floor.

The inside was messy, and none of the glass on the counter was intact. A large number of cosmetics, expensive watches and other items are scattered on the ground. Underneath these things, dried blood stains could be faintly seen. Obviously, there were people here who took advantage of the fire and looted a lot of valuable goods.

After a moment's hesitation, he walked into the building. Broken glass creaked under his feet, and he made his way to the elevator. The elevator has stopped running. He gripped his baseball bat and walked up to the second floor.

It used to be one of the most popular places for women. A variety of branded clothing hangs in the window. Compared to the first floor, this place is obviously not well received. A qiΔ“ is kept intact. Only the messy footprints on the tiles show how chaotic it was in the first place.

He didn't stop here, and continued to go up to the third floor. As soon as he saw the scene on the third floor, he immediately stopped and tightened his grip on the bat.

There are a lot of zombies on the third floor.

Their eyes glazed over, like wooden stakes, filled the entire third-floor shop. No zombie noticed Lu Li's arrival. They were like ordinary corpses, standing motionless in the shop.

Lu Li witnessed this strange scene, and the sense of crisis in his heart became stronger and stronger. He had a faint feeling that these zombies had already noticed him. It's just that for some unknown reason didn't pounce. And he knew the unknown reason.

The Evolved Zombie.

That evolutionary zombie is gradually controlling the zombies in the city, using some unknown means to cause them to evolve. He didn't know what kind of means the evolutionary zombie used to make the other zombies evolve. But he knew one thing.

The day of the fall of City A is not far off.

He dragged his bat and walked up to the third floor. Metal bats slash across the tiles, making a screeching noise. The moment his right foot stepped on the third floor, the entire third floor moved.

The zombies turned their heads in unison. Their cloudy eyes stared straight at Lu Li as he walked up to the third floor. In a few moments, the zombies in the pΓΉ in the nearest shop to Lu Li moved. They stretched out their withered hands and slowly rushed towards Lu Li.

Before they could get closer, Lu Li had already made a preemptive strike. He lunged forward. The metal bat arced through the air and slammed into the front zombie.

There was a muffled sound like a stone being slammed. The metal bat bounces back. The zombie fell to the ground with a bang, struggling to get up and continue to catch Lu Li. It's a pity that the zombie group behind them swarmed up and completely submerged it.

Lu Li felt the huge shock force in his right hand, and his heart sank to the bottom. He took a quick step back and slammed into the other zombie again. One by one, the zombies fell, and more zombies poured up.

In just a few minutes, Lu Li had been forced back to the elevator by the surging zombie horde. He switched the bat to his left hand, and moved his right hand, which was sore and numb from the shock, with a solemn expression. After a few seconds, he turned and jumped off the elevator with a few clicks.

He didn't look back, and went down to the first floor very decisively. Behind him, from time to time, there was a muffled sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. He knew that those zombies had no intention of letting him go. More likely, the evolutionary zombie didn't intend to let itself go.

As soon as I came to the first floor, zombies suddenly fell on the fourth, fifth and sixth floors. They slammed into the tiles, on the counters, and almost fell apart. Stumps were visible everywhere, and black blood was all over the first floor. But they still struggled stubbornly, stretching out their intact arms to block Lu Li's retreat.

Lu Li looked solemn and walked along the edge towards the gate. Only four or five meters away, more and more zombies fell like raindrops. One by one, zombies covered almost the entire ground, flooding the vicinity of the gate.

The further you go, the more intact the fallen zombies become. They crawled down the other zombies, slowly surging away. Seeing more and more zombies coming, Lu Li's face sank, and he raised his hand and smashed it against the glass wall not far away.

There was a crunch, and a layer of broken glass was scattered on the ground. Lu Li walked through the gap and returned the same way he came. After walking more than twenty meters, he stopped. He looked back at the department store.

The zombies have stopped the pursuit. They were crammed under the building, staring at Lu Li with cloudy eyes. After a while, the zombies retreated to the building one after another. In just a few minutes, there was not a single zombie under the building. It's as if nothing has happened. It's so quiet all around.

Lu Li hesitated for a moment, then returned again. He walked to the door, only to see an astonishing scene.

Zombies are eating zombies.

One by one, intact zombies pounced on the zombies who had fallen almost to pieces. Those mutilated zombies did not resist, and let other zombies eat themselves.

The black blood spread out and gradually spread out of the gate. The air that was originally quite fresh suddenly filled with a fishy and unpleasant smell.

Lu Li's face was calm, quietly watching the strange behavior of the zombies. The sense of crisis in his heart increased again. He vaguely felt that the zombies that were eating their own kind had changed a little after gnawing. But what exactly evolved he had, he didn't know.

"If only Chrissy were here."

Lu Li sighed secretly and turned to leave. He returned the way he came, and soon came to the original store. At this time, the sun is already setting and dusk is falling. He looked at the fortifications in the distance, hesitated, and walked over.

By this time, the soldiers of the garrison division had already finished carrying the bullets. They sat on the edge of the sand and enjoyed a rare relaxation.

Suddenly, a soldier stumbled upon a figure walking in the distance. He jumped up and whispered urgently, "Something is coming." ”

Alerted, the rest of the soldiers returned to their respective posts. The machine gunner grabbed the crane gun and aimed it at the figure in the distance. The ammunition player nervously opened the cartridge box and pulled out a chain of bullets, ready to replace the heavy machine gun.

"What's going on?"

Platoon commander Zhang Yunhu hurried over when he heard the news. Under the guidance of his men, he saw the man walking in the distance. He spat on the ground in frustration and cursed in a low voice.

"Damn, it's hard to rest for a while, and come again."

He spat into the palm of his hand, rubbed it, pushed away the machine gunner, and picked up the heavy machine gun: "It's all aimed at Lao Tzu." ”

The other six machine gunners shouted confidently, and they all followed the example of the platoon commander and picked up their heavy machine guns. They are very confident. In the past week, they have faced this situation more than once, and they are familiar with the road.

Soon, Lu Li walked to a place two hundred meters away from the fortifications and stopped. He raised his hands and shouted at the other side, "Don't shoot, I'm a survivor, I have important news for you." ”

Zhang Yunhu was stunned, put down the heavy machine gun, and raised his hand to signal the rest of the machine gunners to wait for orders. Then, he jumped over the fortifications and walked over there. After a while, he walked up to Lu Li and looked up and down.

"You came out of it? Or did you get in from the outside? ”

"Got in from outside."

Hearing that Lu Li was a person who entered the city from outside, Zhang Yunhu's face was a little unsightly. He snorted stiffly and asked, "What's the important news?" ”

"Zombies are starting to evolve."

Lu Li didn't hide it, and said it truthfully. Zhang Yunhu was stunned, and asked incredibly: "Zombie evolution?" ”

"Hmm. It will not be long before they launch a general offensive. ”

Lu Li nodded. As soon as he said a sentence, Zhang Yunhu laughed dumbly, raised his hand to stop him: "You said that those dead people did not move, just to wait for the opportunity to launch a general attack?" ”

Without waiting for Lu Li to reply, he laughed and waved his hand angrily: "Get out, hurry back." This is not a playground. Shoot in case my people don't see clearly. Your life is gone. ”

"Don't believe me?"

Lu Li smiled, and then made a suggestion: "I can take you to see it now." Once there, you'll know I'm not lying to you. ”

"This ......"

Zhang Yunhu wondered. Lu Li's words were conclusive, but he believed a little. He looked up at the sky, hesitated, and then turned and beckoned to the fortifications. A soldier jumped out of the fortifications and ran as fast as he could.

When his subordinates ran to him, Zhang Yunhu put his arms around his neck and commanded in a low voice, "I'll go with this kid to have a look." You are all smart, if there is a situation, shoot Lao Tzu and shoot him. ”

"However, the platoon commander ......"

The soldier glanced back at Lu Li hesitantly. Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Zhang Yunhu impatiently snatched his assault rifle and urged while skillfully inspecting it.

"Hurry back and inform everyone. Don't make noise here and annoy Lao Tzu. ”

After making sure that the firearm was okay, Zhang Yunhu raised the gun with one hand and said to Lu Li: "Lead the way ahead." ”

Lu Li smiled and walked ahead. After a while, the two left the aggrieved soldier and walked towards the city. The two walked quickly, and in less than half an hour, the two came to the department store.

"That's it?"

Zhang Yunhu looked at the building and asked in a low voice. Lu Li was silent and walked straight to the door of the first floor. When Zhang Yunhu saw it, he loaded the bullet and followed closely.

When he arrived at the door, he looked at the dirty blood everywhere, and the whole person froze. After a while, he gasped and asked in a low voice.

"You did all this?"

Lu Li smiled without saying a word, made a silent gesture, and then walked into the building. Zhang Yunhu swallowed his saliva, grabbed the gun and followed in. The two quietly went up to the third floor.

When he saw the scene on the third floor clearly, Zhang Yunhu suddenly felt cold hands and feet, and the hairs on his body stood upside down.
