Chapter 305: Mycelium is Poisonous (4)
"The bones of these skeletons have obvious signs of being eaten, and they are not dying peacefully......"
Inserting the wiped arrow back into the quiver, Xiao Ran walked to the nearest skeleton and looked at it carefully.
"That's right...... I just don't know if it was gnawed before I was born, or if it was gnawed after becoming a corpse......"
His gaze swept over the bloodstained white bones, and Lu Yu whispered.
"This one should have been eaten while still alive, and the other two may have turned into zombies when they were eaten......"
Finger tapped in the distance, and little Lori said lightly.
"Huh? How can you tell, these three skeletons are almost the same......"
Seeing that Xiao Ran was so determined, Lu Yu couldn't help but be interested, and asked curiously.
"It's very simple, haven't we seen the appearance of phase level zombies when they eat the corpses of the same kind."
As soon as these words came out, they immediately evoked memories in Lu Yu's heart.
"Well, that's right, at that time, outside the community, after the two phase-level zombies fought each other, the winning side did eat the loser, what does this have to do with the skeletons in front of them, these skeletons don't have bone wings on their backs, it can't be a phase-level zombie......"
"That's right, these skeletons are indeed not zombies, but you can see the gnawing marks on the bones."
Xiao Ran pointed to the nearest skeleton and said.
Following the girl's fingers, Lu Yu found that the skeleton in front of him had obvious signs of gnawing on all the bones of the body, as if the delicacy of a delicacy had been savored.
After looking at it for a long time, Lu Yu said with some uncertainty.
"The gnawing marks on this bone are dense...... Proof that zombies eat carefully when biting? ”
"That's right, judging from the density of these traces, the zombie is indeed very careful when biting, which proves that the corpse in front of him has a great attraction to it."
The blue and black mandarin duck's eyes flashed with wisdom, and Xiao Ran said in a deep voice.
"Well, human flesh is very attractive to zombies, this is normal, if the attraction is not great, those secondary infections will not chase us and bite, right......"
But Lu Yu obviously didn't understand the statement in Xiao Lori's mouth, and the look on her face was still puzzled.
"Look at the other two skeletons."
Lu Yu looked in the direction of Xiao Ran, and there were indeed two skeletons with wrists that were also handcuffed against the wall in front of him.
It's just that compared to the one in front of them, the skulls of the two skeletons on the opposite side have long been missing, and there is relatively more dried minced meat on their bodies, which has not been gnawed very cleanly.
"The two skeletons have obviously fewer traces of being eaten than the one in front of us, and the position of the gnawing is also very particular."
Little Lori stepped forward slowly, standing in front of the two skulls-less skeletons.
"The skull in front of him has some signs of being gnawed, the skull is completely gone, the neck, armpits and inner thighs of the skeleton have varying degrees of gnawing marks, and there are still a lot of shriveled minced meat hanging in other places, what does this mean?"
"Uh...... It shows that the zombie is a picky eater...... Is it full? ”
Lu Yu felt that he could clearly understand every word Xiao Ran said, but he couldn't comprehend the meaning after connecting them, so he had to answer uncertainly.
"Of course not to be full...... The different positions of the gnawing just indicate that the two skeletons had become zombies before they were gnawed. ”
Xiao Ran shook his head helplessly, worried about Lu Yu's IQ.
"Didn't the first-level zombies devour each other's corpses after they finished fighting with their peers downstairs, and the location of the bite was also the skull, neck, armpits and inner thighs."
"But if the zombie bites a human, it will not selectively devour certain locations, let alone bite open the other party's skull."
After a detailed explanation, Lu Yu finally understood why Xiao Ran was able to see the difference between the three skeletons at once, and let out a word of admiration from the bottom of his heart.
"Is it so detailed...... Who can see this, I guess only someone like you who has a brain strengthened by the virus can find out......"
"If you memorize and observe carefully, you can also find the difference, but you are lazy......"
Glancing at Lu Yu angrily, Xiao Ran's gaze moved to the side.
"What makes me wonder why there is still an empty pair of handcuffs over here......"
Looking in the direction of Xiao Ran's finger, Lu Yu found that there was indeed a pair of handcuffs in the position next to him, one part of the handcuffs was connected to the horizontal bar of the table, but the other end was empty, and there was nothing.
"I guess I broke free......
With one hand on his cheek, Lu Yu made a contemplative gesture.
"Break free from the handcuffs...... That's going to hurt your wrists...... Oh! I remember! ”
As if a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind, the details that had been left aside by Lu Yu resurfaced.
Isn't there just a strangulation mark on the wrist of the dead unknown skinny monster outside the door, presumably caused by breaking free from this pair of handcuffs.
Inform Xiao Ran of the speculation in his heart, and the other party's face instantly appeared with such an expression.
In fact, the little girl was originally worried about the existence of any monsters in the police station, so she was extremely vigilant about this pair of empty handcuffs.
Now that Lu Yu explained this, the last trace of vigilance in her heart was completely put down, and she began to search the office with confidence and boldness.
Zhang Tiehua and Yu Libo were still in a comatose state, so Lu Yu didn't care about them after dragging them into the police station, and let them lie on the ground.
Anyway, as long as they make sure that they don't be eaten by zombies as a snack when they are asleep, there is no way to do other things that are a little more difficult.
Just as Lu Yu and Xiao Ran were immersed in searching for the available resources in the office, a low whimper suddenly came from inside the police station.
It wasn't obvious at first, but it kept getting louder as time passed, and finally caught Xiao Ran's attention.
"Have you ever heard a strange sound......"
Little Lori listened attentively for a moment, then dragged the young man beside her and asked in a low voice.
"Strange noise, no, there are no living creatures in this police station except for the two of us......"
Lu Yu raised his head and said subconsciously.
But before the words were finished, the rummaging action in the young man's hand was also paused, and a pair of danfeng revealed a slight doubt.
"Hey, it seems like there's a sound...... It can't be that there are other monsters in the police station......"
Simply confirming the source of the sound, Lu Yu quickly pulled out his pistol and pushed the bullet into the chamber.
Nowadays, the police station is a relatively confined environment, and if there are really any monsters inside, it is the only option.
"You follow me, go to the internal detention cell and have a look......"
Glancing at Xiao Ran, Lu Yu swallowed his saliva and began to move slowly towards the outside of the office.
In fact, at the beginning of the entry into the police
He had already made a cursory observation when he was in the bureau, but because the internal detention room was in a blind spot and the door was locked, Lu Yu didn't go inside carefully.
Even if there were monsters, judging by the integrity of the iron fence, they should be trapped in the detention cell, and it was impossible to escape and threaten the safety of the two of them.
As the perspective expands, the youth and little Lori soon come to the interior of the police station, that is, in front of the detention cell with an iron bar.
In the first cell, several bodies in blue and white striped hospital gowns lay on them, most of them bearing marks of being bitten, and some of them were badly damaged and even exposed their internal bones.
The floor of the detention cell was filled with rotting filth, and as Lu Yu and Xiao Ran got closer, the stench in the air quickly thickened, until an invisible wall formed in front of them, preventing them from taking one more step.
Let's get off the book
"Why are there so many corpses in here, I wonder if the air is polluted......"
Covering his mouth and nose, Lu Yu took a step forward, wanting to take a look at the situation in the detention room.
But the moment he took a step, the corpse that had been lying on the ground suddenly twitched, and then raised its head in the direction of the iron fence.
"Whew!"
With a hoarse roar, the corpse, which originally looked lifeless, actually got up from the ground and rushed towards Lu Yu's direction with his hands and feet.
Gray eyeballs with no looks, festering skin, and a bloody mouth that grinned to the root of the ear.
There is no doubt that this "corpse" that has come back from the dead is a secondary infected body.
Seeing the zombies rushing towards him, Lu Yu did not panic, but withdrew his left leg from its original position, and watched with a calm face as the other party fell on the iron fence.
If the monster locked up in the detention room at the moment was a mutated zombie, then Lu Yu might still be a little jealous.
But it was only a secondary infector, and the youth had no fear that it would break through the fence.
"Do you want to get rid of it? It's not a threat to us, but it's noisy to howl like that......"
Little Lori frowned slightly, and opened her mouth to suggest.
"Put it there for now, and think of something else later, there's no need to waste bullets and crossbow arrows on a secondary infected."
After carefully looking at the iron fence in front of him for a while, and confirming that this layer of restriction would not be easily broken, Lu Yu said lightly, raised his legs and walked towards the detention room next door.
Although it was not clear why there was a group of irritating infected people in blue and white striped hospital gowns in the detention room, as long as these zombies did not threaten him, Lu Yu did not bother to spend time to deal with them.
Howling and howling, the sound was not very loud anyway, and the door of the police station was closed, so as not to attract the secondary infected people roaming the road outside.
I really can't do it, just find a stick or something and kill it in a while.
The floor of the other cell was much cleaner than the one in which the secondary infected were kept, and although it had a faint smell, it was much better than the stench of corpses emitted by the decomposition of corpses.
"Hey, there's a lot of scratches on this iron fence...... It seems to have been repeatedly slashed by some hard sharp weapon......"
His gaze fell on the iron fence in front of him, and the metal pole the thickness of his thumb was covered with scratches of various shades, some of which were only a shallow mark, while others were deep marks.
"This is the ...... who was caught"
The little Lori who was following behind Lu Yu also found these scratches, pondered for a moment, and said amazingly......
