Chapter 452: Labyrinth?
The members of the expedition team are about a dozen creatures, and although the team is not large, its strength is not weak at all.
The one responsible for opening the way is Ren Guobin, Ye Yizhou and the big wolf dog, the former is a standard map cannon, responsible for killing and injuring weak zombies in a large area, while Ye Yizhou's flying axe focuses on dealing with stronger zombies, basically fixed-point elimination, occasionally a few piercing hands can get close, and the big wolf dog pounces up, directly biting his throat and digging out his brain.
However, the big wolf dog seems to have improved a lot of intelligence, at least it also knows the truth of storing food, at first it swallowed a few mouthfuls of the brain marrow of its zombies, but after eating, it learned to let the Fan Yujie child on his side help hide in the bag behind it, by the way, I don't know when it started, the relationship between the big wolf dog and Fan Yujie's child became very close, Shi Ruoyu even suspected that Fan Yujie had to join their expedition because he liked this big wolf dog.
This scene made Shi Chenxi smack her lips again and again, and kept sighing that her son had found an amazing partner!
Shi Ruoyu held the happy little Lori in her right hand, followed by a shadowy Tang Siran, pulling the corner of his clothes, silently but not leaving, saying that these two guys are the most clingy now, and there is no way to take them at all.
Walking to his left was Shi Chenxi, who slowly told Shi Chenxi about all the discoveries he found in the altar as he walked.
Shi Chenxi listened very carefully, and finally she concluded: "Well, I understand, the key is that the woman in the mural is very likely to be the Empress Dowager Liang of Western Xia, who created zombies back then, and then used special methods to completely eliminate them when the zombies rioted out of control, but I don't know why after a thousand years." The method of creating zombies back then has been unearthed again. And then it erupted even more violently than it had been a thousand years ago...... But why......"
Shi Ruoyu was stunned. Not quite understanding what her mother was pondering, Shi Chenxi patiently explained: "Oh, I'm just wondering, why didn't there be such a catastrophic outbreak like today thousands of years ago, which directly turned the civilized world into an end of the world...... Also, why didn't there be such a supernatural person back then? Or did it appear but were kept secret? ”
As soon as Shi Ruoyu was told by her, she also began to feel that there was a problem, and it did look from the mural. Back then, there was a small-scale zombie siege in this Blackwater City, and in the end, the Empress Dowager Liang took action to easily deal with it, why is it a worldwide outbreak today, thousands of years later?
At this time, Xiao Wanqing, who was standing on the other side of Shi Ruoyu, suddenly interjected: "Could it be because of the developed transportation?" ”
Shi Ruoyu and Shi Chenxi's mother and son were stunned for a moment, and then reacted quickly, what the eldest lady said was right! The biggest difference between the world today and a thousand years ago is that the transportation is extremely developed, and you can travel to and from all parts of the world in one day by plane, which also leads to the infinite expansion of the spread of the virus!
Then the three of them discussed it while walking, and came up with a conjecture that the transformation of humans into zombies may be related to some kind of highly contagious virus, which is extremely contagious. However, there is an incubation period after transmission, and there is no immediate outbreak. Until a tipping point, or trigger, is created, all humans infected with the virus and without antibodies will have a full-blown outbreak.
By the way, the more remote the place, such as the southern part of Thailand where the Somchai is located, the less likely they are to be infected with the virus, which also confirms their suspicions, and the other thing is that it seems that the virus is no longer contagious after turning humans into zombies, at least at least there is no similar evidence at all.
And what they don't know at all is what that trigger is, the three of them plus Xia Yingying discussed it together for a long time, and they didn't come up with anything special on the day of the doomsday outbreak, in the words of Shi Ruoyu, that day was sunny and sunny, and even the PM2.5 index was very low, it was really a rare good weather......
Chatting and chatting, they have walked to a huge palace in the deepest part of the palace, according to Xiao Wanqing's historical common sense, this should be the place where the emperor and his concubines stayed, so guess that if there is something good here, the probability of appearing here will be very high.
The emperor's bedroom is only one floor, but the height is very amazing, the height is at least equivalent to three stories of a modern building, in the dark, if the rain looks through the fire in Xia Yingying's palm, although the roof has been damaged, but the exquisite sculptures of the year can still be seen, the main entrance below is about five meters high, two wooden doors have rotted and fallen to the ground, it is pitch black inside, exuding a smell of decay, and the entire main entrance looks like a monster's mouth.
Shi Chenxi looked left and right, the fingers of her right hand were lightly pointed inside, Shi Ruoyu only felt a very gentle breeze blowing, and suddenly the surrounding air became fresh.
Shi Ruoyu nodded and beckoned everyone: "Let's go in!" ”
The one who walked in the front became Ah Ming, he listened attentively for a while, and then pointed to the inside triumphantly and said: "Here, here, En, and there are zombies, oh, there is a powerful ...... here"
Standing next to him were Ren Guobin and Ye Yizhou, according to Ah Ming's instructions, first those scrap copper and rotten iron flew in quickly to beat indiscriminately, and then Ye Yizhou raised his right hand, and the sharp axe pierced the night, and flew in with a thick murderous aura!
Soon there was a constant whining and thumping of the ground! After about three or five minutes, Ah Ming turned around with satisfaction and said: "Brother Ruoyu, the clearance is almost complete, but it is only the outermost one, and there seem to be some guys in the depths, be careful!" ”
Shi Ruoyu patted him on the shoulder to express encouragement, and then gently put down the little Lori who was dancing and entertaining herself in his arms, and said seriously: "Yunyun, I want to give you a heavy task!" ”
Little Lori exclaimed with a look of excitement: "Okay...... Yunyun is a good boy...... Yunyun will look at the car...... I will also catch live mouths......"
Shi Ruoyu smiled and pinched its little face, then pointed at the eldest lady and said, "Wait for us to go in, Yunyun, you have to protect Sister Wanqing every step of the way, can you do it?" ”
Little Lori's eyes blinked, as if she was trying hard to understand her new task, and after a while she stammered, "Harmony...... Is it the same as looking at the car? ”
Shi Ruoyu thought for a while and said, "Almost, anyway, I just don't let the bad guys bully Sister Wanqing!" ”
Little Lori seemed to understand something at once, and she exclaimed happily, "Okay! Okay! Yunyun looks at the car ......"
Shi Ruoyu didn't care how the little zombie understood, at least he was relieved to see that the little guy had already run to Xiao Wanqing's side with his little short legs, and he looked like a flower messenger.
Shi Chenxi looked at it and chuckled: "Ruoyu, this little guy is so cute!" After speaking, she took the lead and stepped into the dark dormitory, and Shi Ruoyu and Xia Yingying followed!
Xiao Wanqing glanced at the little Lori beside her, smiled faintly, and also stepped into the dormitory!
Ten minutes later.
Shi Ruoyu, who was walking in the front, couldn't help but sigh, and asked Xiao Wanqing beside her in the dark: "Wanqing, have we walked this road?" ”
The eldest lady raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at the tablet in her hand, and said lightly: "Why did you come back again......"
Shi Chenxi Tower took a step forward and said leisurely: "Son, although I am not a historian, I am sure that this dormitory is definitely not normal!" ”
By the flickering firelight, noticing that everyone was looking at him, Shi Chenxi said seriously: "I said, have you ever seen your bedroom like a maze?!" ”
Shi Ruoyu snorted, and found that he couldn't refute......
On the other side, the underground ruins of Blackwater City, in the guard building at the main entrance of the palace.
The general Xu Yingjie dragged a rope in her right hand, and a series of more than a dozen zombies were tied behind her, dragging them all the way back like a dead dog, and when she saw Liu Xi, she threw it away and said: "This is a few of us collected nearby, all of them are alive, the zombies here have basically been wiped out, and it is not easy to get these few alive." ”
Liu Xili ignored her, grinning at those zombies for a while, and then suddenly lunged, grabbed the head of the zombie in front, and twisted it hard!
With a crisp click, the zombie's neck bone was easily twisted off by it, and then Liu Xi smashed open the skull with a punch, took out the bloody brain marrow inside and stuffed it into his mouth!
Major General Zhu Lijun on the side was anxious and said angrily: "Hey, hey! Why are you like this, a guy! Is it easy for us to catch these few lives?! ”
Liu Xi turned his head suddenly, his eyes stared at Zhu Lijun and he screamed! I'm almost going to pounce on it! Scared the latter out of the way!
Yu Yerong on the side saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly shouted: "Liu Xi! Obedient! ”
This sound was really useful, Liu Xi turned his head and looked at her very dissatisfied, but he no longer pounced on Zhu Lijun.
Xu Yingjie sighed, looked at Yu Yerong and said, "Captain Yu, right?" If you don't mind if I call you that the same as Ruoyu...... It's worse than you thought it would be, and I know you have a deep prejudice against our Provisional Government forces, but this is really not the time for us to engage in infighting...... We should be the same enemy! ”
Yu Yerong smiled bitterly and said, "General Xu, don't worry, I understand this truth, Liu Xi will leave it to me, I will take care of it!" ”
Xu Yingjie nodded, silently looking into the distance without saying a word.
It's not very difficult to get Liu Xi down, anyway, Shi Ruoyu pulled it and asked it to listen to Yu Yerong's words before leaving, so Yu Yerong criticized it a few words, and the girl zombie didn't refute it, just muttered and protested: "Hungry!" I eat when I'm hungry! ”
A certain zombie said it was reasonable, Yu Yerong didn't know what to say for a while, and at this moment, suddenly a soldier on the second floor ran down quickly, and shouted with a panicked face: "There is an enemy in the distance!" There are enemies!! (To be continued......)
