"This is the first time that you have carried out a rescue mission after the catastrophe, although it is only a patrol and broadcast, but the danger in the process should not be underestimated, and it is very helpful for us to grasp the changes in the situation as soon as possible and restore the original order while ensuring our own safety......

A string of words crossed Zhang Jike's mind, which was explained by Shangfeng before they carried out the task, although it was not part of the task, but as an excellent soldier, he would still try his best to complete the explanation of his superiors.

Judging from the current situation, as long as he stays quietly in the car, it seems that he will not attract the attention of mutated zombies and giant turtles in the distance.

"Okay, you won't be wrong to listen to Lao Zhang......"

Seeing this, Ma Long, who was at the front of the carriage, lowered his body again, retracted it down, and continued to observe it from a distance with the tactical telescope in his hand.

Ma Long naturally knew the reason why Zhang Jike said this, and collected information, he also considered this at the beginning, but when he thought that there were not only him and Zhang Jike in the car now, Ma Long was a little hesitant, and now Zhang Jike has solved his concerns invisibly, he just needs to obey with peace of mind.

Now that they have made plans to see what is going on, Ma Long's heart has settled down, and he has begun to seriously remember the pictures he saw, if they can enter the Siming Mountain Shelter alive, every bit of what they see may become useful key information.

"But if horse-level zombies are forced, then what is it that forces them to make them fight for their lives like this......"

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't care about the question of staying at all, the girl's mind was now full of fog, and all her attention was focused on horse-level zombies and giant turtles, and she didn't hear what Ma Long and Zhang Jike were saying at all.

"By analogy, what do you think forced those secondary infections to commit suicide?"

I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional, Malone always seems to respond to the girl patiently, and make corresponding answers at the first time.

"Hmm, naturally they are the two horse-level zombies that drive away the corpse group, they belong to the mutants among the zombies, and they should be called pure virions, right?"

Xu Xiaoxiao thought about it and replied quickly, and at the same time asked Zhang Jike by the window as if he was inviting merit to verify the accuracy of his answer.

"That's right, these zombies who cast into the river as bait are like sheep in nature that have been expelled by fierce beasts, all because they are forced by the pressure of the other party, so they act against the instinct of survival."

Zhang Jike nodded slightly and added.

"Those secondary infected bodies with relatively weak bodies, facing pure viral horse-level zombies, are like docile antelopes in nature facing ferocious cheetahs, and can force the cheetahs to make actions against their will to survive, which shows how terrifying the existence behind the horse-level zombies is."

"Could it be that there are more powerful mutants hiding in the shadows?"

Xu Xiaoxiao can be regarded as understanding the theory of Zhang Jike and Ma Long, because the strength of ordinary zombies is not as good as that of horse-level zombies, they can only be driven away by horse-level zombies, and jump into the river like dumplings one by one; And because the horse-level zombie is not as strong as the existence behind it, it can only be driven by it in desperation and fight for the life of the giant turtle.

"At the moment, the likelihood of such a is high, but

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

It doesn't have to be a zombie, it could be a mutated creature......"

Ma Long sighed and replied worriedly, horse-level zombies are already difficult to parry, and now there is a more powerful existence than horse-level zombies, and this existence is still hiding in the shadows, as the saying goes, human fear comes from the unknown, and the invisible threat is the source of fear.

"It seems that we can only shrink up first and wait for things to develop......

Yan Ben answered with a trembling voice, and there was silence in the carriage for a while, all of whom said that they had no objection to this decision.

Just when everyone was silent, the stalemate of the old turtle and horse-level zombies on the bank of the river had a new change again.

It turned out that the old turtle saw that the situation was stalemate, and there was a sharp pain from the wound on the neck, and he couldn't help but start to get irritable, and the two huge flippers paddled back and forth, and the claws growing at the top of the flippers were like dozens of sharp pickaxes, and the hard ground drew a shallow cross, driving the huge body to retreat continuously, intending to sneak back into the river with the horse-level zombies.

The old turtle didn't know if the horse-level zombie on his neck would be drowned by the river, and the reason why he did it was only out of biological instinct.

People who have seen the soft-shelled turtle know that once it is bitten, the result is that it will never let go, unless it is put in the water and makes it feel that it is in a safe state, then the soft-shelled turtle may loosen its mouth and leave, which is why the old soft-shelled turtle will choose to return to the water with horse-level zombies after encountering a stalemate situation.

Because the dry river bank is too much of an unsafe factor for it, only by returning to the water can it be given enough security.

"The old turtle is going back into the river!"

Xu Xiaoxiao clenched his fists and said nervously, at this time, most of the old turtle's body had retreated into the river, only two flippers were still lying on the shore, and his neck was twisted in a strange posture, due to the existence of the horse-level zombie, it could not be completely retracted into the shell, and the turtle's big mouth was biting the body of the horse-level zombie, without the slightest sign of letting go.

"Look at the street corner, what is that!"

Different from Xu Xiaoxiao's focus, because he was worried about the unknown existence behind the horse-level zombies, Ma Long also swept his gaze to the surrounding street corners from time to time while paying attention to the old turtle and horse-level zombies.

Sure enough, just as the old turtle was about to return to the river, a strange figure suddenly walked out of a store on the corner of the street.

"This is, zombies?"

Xu Xiaoxiao soon saw the figure that Ma Long said, the improvement of eyesight brought about by the virus strengthening the body, so that the girl could clearly see the details of the unknown existence without the help of a telescope.

The whole of the strange existence is humanoid, using two limbs to support the body and move forward, but its two limbs are not like human legs, but similar to the calf structure of horse-level zombies, and it does not straighten its joints during walking, but slowly moves forward step by step.

From the leg upwards, is the waist of this strange existence, different from the shriveled skin of the legs exposed, from its waist, the skin is covered with a layer of carapace that looks very thick, extending from the lower abdomen to the chest, the sides are inverted, the middle is convex, it looks like a butterfly that has not successfully metamorphosed, with most of the chrysalis shell alive.

What surprised Xu Xiaoxiao the most was the strange existence of the arms, of course, this "double."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The concept of "arm" is also just a preconceived judgment of a girl as a human being, and if it were strictly described, it would be more appropriate to call it a "shield" for things that grow on the sides of the body of strange beings.

Two irregularly shaped shields have grown from the place where the arms should have grown, and from the outside, the inside of the shield should be filled with densely packed and interlaced bones, and on the outside, it is wrapped in a thin layer of skin, which looks rough and tough, and it looks difficult to break.

The bone shield is connected to the body in two places, and two thick bones are born from its ribs and shoulders, and a surprising number of fleshy tentacles are wrapped around it, like hemp ropes, and it looks extremely strong and cannot be cut without great force.

And the head of this strange existence made Xu Xiaoxiao's mouth open slightly, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Unlike the shriveled and concave heads of horse-class zombies, this strange existence no longer has a little flesh and skin on its head, and the bony carapace is like an insect, reflecting a little light in the sun, and the organs on its face are almost all gone, leaving only four eyes and a tubular mouthpart.

And this strange eye is also different from ordinary eyeballs, on the braincase that is armed like a fortress, its eyes become two pairs of stem eyes, like the eyes of a crab, the eyeballs are wrapped in transparent carapace, one left and one right are erected at the top, occupying a small position on the head.

The strange-looking unidentified creature seemed to be cautious, scanning back and forth with the two pairs of stems on top of its head with each step forward, constantly surveying its surroundings.

The black Tesla parked in the distance naturally fell into the eyes of the monster, but fortunately, everyone hid their bodies in advance, so they were not discovered by the monster.

"This thing looks too ugly, zombies are more beautiful than it......"

Xu Xiaoxiao whispered that girls originally liked fluffy or round-looking small animals, and were tired of all creatures that looked dry or full of hard shells and edges.

Unfortunately, the body of this unknown creature that walked out of the store was full of all the characteristics that disgusted Xu Xiaoxiao......

"You don't care about its appearance, I always feel that this thing is not simple......"

Ma Long frowned and interrupted Xu Xiaoxiao's complaint in a low voice.

From the moment that monster appeared, he and Zhang Jike felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but they couldn't grasp the root of this feeling, and they couldn't help but fall into contemplation when they watched the monster move forward slowly.

Neither Ma Long nor Zhang Jike knew about this strange creature in front of them, let alone encountered it in real life, how could they feel inexplicably familiar.

Just as the two soldiers were pondering, Shao Xiuqi, who had been hiding next to the back seat of the car, suddenly spoke.

"Why does this monster act so much like a policeman with an explosion-proof shield......"

"A police officer with an explosion shield?"

Ma Long was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Shao Xiuqi in the back seat with some astonishment, because Shao Xiuqi had not been infected with the virus, so his eyesight had not been improved, and he was squinting his eyes at this time, looking into the distance as much as possible.

From Shao Xiuqi's sight, he could barely see the details of the monster, and could only vaguely sketch a figure, and vaguely felt that the other party looked like a policeman holding an explosion-proof shield, so he sighed from the bottom of his heart......
