Chapter 80: Phase
Ma Long and Zhang Jike have lost their ability to move, and it is still unknown whether they can recover, and in the face of such potential threats outside the community, everyone seems to have lost their backbone, and they all feel chills in their hearts and weak legs and feet.
Lu Yu saw everyone's performance in his eyes and frowned, Lu Yu knew in his heart that he could no longer shrink back and be a soy sauce character who waited and watched.
"Go and ask Zhang Jike, he must know something about the changes in zombies, we need to have more information, and make a response plan based on this."
Lu Yu once again resumed his role as the commander, giving confidence and support to the panicked crowd, and he deeply understood that in the face of a crisis, panic often makes the situation worse.
In fact, when facing a real dilemma, there will always be a solution, but people will always be affected by emotions and have a herd mentality, which will lead to wrong judgment.
For example, when people encounter a great threat, such as an earthquake or fire, people tend to be emotionally infected by the people around them during the escape process, and become more panicked.
Obviously retreat in an orderly manner, and all of them can be evacuated in a short time, but there will always be extreme panic, causing people to huddle together, block the escape route, and even stampede.
"Xiao Lu, what Xiao Ran meant just now was that the strange zombie downstairs would soon regain his eyesight?"
"Yes, Uncle Ni, and judging from the fact that it slashed open the heads of four zombies with one claw, once it discovers our existence, then the end that awaits us is likely to be death."
Lu Yu didn't want to deceive everyone, so he told the facts in as smooth a tone as possible.
"What can I do about this, the glass door of our building must be unstoppable......"
Uncle Ni's old face was full of horror, and his legs trembled uncontrollably at the thought that they might also be torn apart by the zombie's claws.
"Don't worry yet, our position shouldn't be exposed yet, take advantage of this time to make some preparations, so that the probability of our survival will be higher."
"Xiao Xiao, call out Yan Shao and his wife, and let's ask Zhang Jike about the bones and zombies together."
The stout girl nodded and walked briskly towards the other bedroom.
Soon, everyone gathered again in the bedroom where the two soldiers were, Ma Long had fallen asleep, Zhang Jike was leaning on the bed, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, feeling the movement around him, he opened his eyes.
"Lao Zhang, the zombies surrounding the community, something happened."
Lu Yu saw that everyone had arrived, so he didn't wait any longer and explained the situation directly.
"Huh? Are there zombies entering the community? ”
Zhang Jike's eyebrows were slightly raised, this was the first possibility he thought of, and it was also the one he was most worried about.
After all, once the zombies enter the community, they may enter the underground garage through the various entrances.
Although they are still not sure whether the underground garage is safe, judging from the previous experience, there should be no zombies in the garage.
If zombies enter the community, the safe passage of the underground garage is no longer safe, and it will be difficult to implement the rescue plan after the arrival of the large army.
"It's not, it's a zombie mutation."
Lu Yu opened his mouth and told Zhang Jike what he had just seen.
The soldier's face gradually became gloomy with Lu Yu's narration, and when he heard the bone wings on the zombie's back, there was a trace of fear between his eyebrows, and his face turned from blue to gray, and even his breathing began to be short.
Regarding Zhang Jike's performance, Lu Yu and others naturally saw it, and they were even more eager to know what happened.
Finally, after being silent for a full minute, Zhang Jike opened his mouth and said slowly.
"Lu Yu, before I say it, you promise me one thing."
Lu Yu looked at the soldier who was tied up with five flowers with some surprise, his eyebrows raised, but he didn't nod in agreement, just said loudly.
"Is it okay if I don't say yes?"
Lu Yu pursed his lips and said in a joking tone.
"No! You have to say yes! ”
But to the surprise of everyone present, Zhang Jike, who has never lost his temper, shouted angrily at this time, and even saw a few tears in his eyes.
Even Ma Long, who was sleeping beside him, was woken up by Zhang Jike's roar, rubbed his eyes in confusion, and looked towards his comrades.
"You say it first, I can't make promises blindly."
In the face of Zhang Jike's abnormality, Lu Yu seemed unusually calm and said lightly.
"Alas......"
Section Chief Zhang Ji sighed and lowered his head, as if he was reflecting on his emotions being out of control, but soon he raised his head again, licked his slightly dry lips with his tongue and said.
"The mutant zombie you saw, if I'm not mistaken, should be a mutant branch of the pure virion."
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, and then they turned their eyes to the direction where Zhang Ning was.
"It's not a pawn, pawn-level zombies won't grow bone wings."
Zhang Jike shook his head weakly.
"That's ......"
Xiao Ran saw that Zhang Jike looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and he was really a little anxious in his heart.
"Alas, it's [phase]! In the early stage, he was born with bone wings, and when he was fully formed, he was able to fly in the wind, and he was undoubtedly a zombie of the same level......"
As soon as the soldier Zhang Jike's words came out, everyone opened their mouths wide, their faces were full of complicated expressions, and they couldn't speak for a long time.
But at this serious moment, Lu Yu couldn't help but complain.
"First [pawn], then [phase], does the scientist who named this zombie love to play chess? Is there a horse cannon or something in the back? ”
Lu Yu scratched his hair, his short hair had grown for dozens of days, and now it was a little long, and he didn't wash his hair in the morning, it looked messy.
After Lu Yu finished speaking, there was another minute-long silence in the bedroom.
At first, everyone felt that what Lu Yu said was a little clueless, but after thinking about it, they did feel that there was some truth, and they couldn't help but feel strange in their hearts.
Why is this zombie named so weird? Normal scientific naming should not use numbers or letters to distinguish the types or abilities of zombies, how did the official news from Zhang Jike's mouth actually use the chess pieces of Chinese chess as the way of naming?
Sure enough, after Zhang Jike heard Lu Yu's question, his face showed an expression of 'I knew you would ask that'.
"It's normal for you to feel strange about the way zombies are named, and when I first learned about it, I was just as confused as you are."
"As far as I know, this information about the zombie variant is not an official name, but our spy staff secretly came from the T organization."
"So why the name of the chess piece was used as the way to name the zombie, I don't know."
"Moreover, the types of zombies I know now are only four types of zombies: [pawn], [phase], [horse], and [car], and the other types may not exist, or we may not know yet."
Zhang Jike said lightly, and everyone listened quietly and did not interrupt.
"The zombie you saw in the morning, I have seen it before, in the camp, it slaughtered thirty-six soldiers, heavily armed soldiers!"
"Which of these soldiers I don't know, which one I don't know? Just like this, flesh and blood are flying in front of me, and my body is in a different place! ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Jike's eyes were red, and the green tendons on his neck were bulging, looking like crazy.
"That's why I want you to promise, promise me to kill that evolving zombie! Even if I knew it wasn't the one who slaughtered my comrades, I'd crush it to ashes! ”
Zhang Jike gritted his teeth, explaining his previous anger word by word, and his eyes red from grief and anger stared at Lu Yu in front of him.
"I see, I see."
Everyone was infected by Zhang Jike's emotions, and they couldn't help but feel a little bloody in their hearts, and they seemed a little indignant.
But Lu Yu still looked calm, not affected at all, and only made a simple response to Zhang Jike's explanation.
After all, he is a person with a lack of empathy, and he can't feel Lao Zhang's emotions, so it is impossible to make any emotional response.
"I can't understand your emotions, but theoretically, I can agree with your behavior."
Lu Yu didn't explain his performance, but just said truthfully.
"According to your description, it is indeed necessary to clean up this phase-level zombie, otherwise when it becomes a complete body, it will inevitably threaten my safety."
"That's right! While it's evolving, kill it! ”
Zhang Jike said with red eyes, it seemed that his hatred for the zombies of the phase level had reached the extreme.
"Then the problem is, it must be very difficult to kill a phase-level zombie, after all, there were thirty-six heavily armed soldiers before, all of whom were easily slaughtered by a phase-level zombie......
Lu Yu raised a finger, without any expression on his face, if he ranked the sanity of the audience now, then he Lu Yu would definitely be at the top of the list.
"This ......"
Zhang Jike was suddenly stopped by Lu Yu's words, indeed, he didn't know the method of killing phase-level zombies.
Even the zombie of the same level who had slaughtered thirty-six heavily armed soldiers before only wounded its body in the end and allowed it to escape.
Looking at Zhang Jike, who had fallen into silence, the corners of Lu Yu's mouth were slightly hooked, and he did not choose to wait for the soldier's answer, but continued.
"Listen to you, this phase-level zombie can fly?"
Zhang Jike raised his head in a daze, he didn't understand why Lu Yu suddenly asked this, but he still nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
A sunny smile bloomed on Lu Yu's face at this time, as if all the problems had been solved.
"Remember your helicopters?"
Zhang Jike nodded confusedly, still not understanding what Lu Yu wanted to say.
"Remember the thing that knocked your plane down?"
