Chapter 490: The Secret of Resurrection

Seeing Li Baiyi rushing towards the giant sword, 659 thought that the other party was trying to take advantage of the chaos to sneak attack, so he immediately stepped sideways, ready to block it.

It's just that before the two of them could make contact, Li Baiyi immediately explained.

"This place is going to collapse, grab your sword and run quickly!"

It turned out that the zombies were just worried that the two of them would drop the giant sword.

Seeing that Li Baiyi really didn't mean to snatch the weapon, 659 Fang retreated, and at the same time gave Zhang Ning a look.

Zhang Ning also understood, immediately pulled out the giant sword, and ran towards the entrance of the cave quickly.

The first to get out was naturally the general-level zombie Li Baiyi, and then Zhang Ning with a giant sword.

The last one to come out was the Elder 659.

As soon as 659 stepped out, the cave where the Serpent King had stayed collapsed, and a large amount of dust erupted from the opening, making the air in the passage dirty.

After the three of them ran out of the cave, the violent tremors also stopped abruptly.

The nest did not collapse, but the cave where the snake king was located collapsed.

"Ahem, what's going on......

Feeling that the tremor stopped, Zhang Ning covered his face with one hand, and asked angrily.

"It's probably a sudden earthquake, there are a lot of earthquake volcanic belts in the eastern area, and earthquakes often occur, and we are underground, so it's normal for the tremors to be stronger."

Li Baiyi dusted off his wide robe and explained.

"It seems that this place is not suitable for staying for a long time, we have to get out of here quickly, a sudden earthquake is likely to wake up the mutant snakes in the nest."

659 glanced around, and found that the mouth of the cave was not completely buried by falling rocks and debris, and there was still a small half of space above it that shone red light, and the interior could be seen.

It's just that if you want to get through this opening, you can't walk in, you need to get in.

"That makes sense, if those snakes wake up, we won't be able to eat and walk around, why don't we go find little Ada's corpse first?"

A worried look appeared on Zhang Ning's face, it's good that this intermittent earthquake doesn't come, if it comes back a few times and accidentally collapses the nest, the body of little Ada will never be brought out.

659 naturally understood Zhang Ning's concerns, pondered for a moment, and replied.

"It's okay, let's go find little Ada's body first."

After a pause, he looked at the general-level zombie in front of him again and added.

"Li Baiyi, I have to trouble you to tell us about Lu Yu's life on the road."

"Good ......"

After reaching a consensus, 659 and the general-level zombies each retreated behind Zhang Ning and began to look for them in the underground nest.

It is also thanks to the location of several people in the center of the entire snake nest, and the surrounding area extends in all directions, all of which are snake caves of different sizes.

Naturally, those small caves don't even need to be seen, because they are not enough to hold the corpse of an adult.

The caves that Zhang Ning explored were all the ones that could accommodate a single person to pass through.

After some searching, he finally found the body of little Ada in a hidden earth cave.

As 659 analyzed at the time, the owner of the nest, Poison Worm, did not swallow the corpse of Little Ada, but let it lie in the corner.

Without alarming the dormant poisonous worm, Zhang Ning made a silent gesture towards the rear and quietly burrowed into this small nest.

After some transportation and dragging, little Ada's body was dragged out.

Because he was injured by a poisonous worm, Xiao Ada's body was not infected with a secondary virus, and naturally he would not become a zombie who drank blood and ate meat.

This was supposed to be a good thing, but now that Zhang Ning was still holding a giant sword, he couldn't spare his hands to carry the corpse at all.

You can't drag little Ada's body all the way back, right?

After thinking about it, Zhang Ning set his eyes on 659.

However, 659 did not have the slightest intention of taking over the corpse, but instead guided Zhang Ning's gaze to look at Li Baiyi, a general-level zombie on the side.

"Or, Li Baiyi, you will carry it?"

Zhang Ning said tentatively.

Handing over the corpses of his former companions to a general-level was a scenario that Zhang Ning had never imagined in the eleven years since the outbreak of the cataclysm.

"Okay......"

Li Baiyi wanted to refuse, but seeing Zhang Ning's eyes and the giant sword in his hand, he agreed after thinking for a while.

However, he did not reach out to take the corpse, but only tentatively spoke.

"The cells in his body are still active, why don't I turn him into a secondary infected body and let him go on his own......"

"No way!"

Without waiting for Li Baiyi to finish speaking, 659 categorically rejected the request.

While the presence of an additional secondary infected person does not pose a substantial threat to them, it does create an element of uncertainty.

The butterfly effect is called the butterfly effect because even the smallest changes can make a huge difference.

The Devil knows that one more secondary infected body will have a huge impact on the development of the following timeline.

659's refusal seemed to be expected by Li Baiyi, and he didn't say much, and reached out to take the body from Zhang Ning's back.

After the conversation just now, the two of them have already discussed where to go next.

I don't know if Li Baiyi deliberately concealed it, or if he didn't know the details of the matter in the first place.

In short, in the conversation just now, 659 and Zhang Ning only knew the news that Lu Yu was still alive.

As for how it was resurrected, listening to Li Baiyi's description, it seems to be through an unusually rare fungus.

Walking through the winding cavern, 659 asked again about Lu Yu's resurrection.

"Li Baiyi, you said before that Lu Yu was resurrected through a rare fungus?"

"That's right."

Li Baiyi, who was walking at the forefront with the corpse on his back, nodded in response.

"But Zhang Ning said that Lu Yu's body was brought back to the human race, if it wasn't cremated, it should have been sealed at this moment, how could he have the opportunity to contact that rare fungus?"

659's words were full of suspicion, obviously not believing everything Li Baiyi said.

"As far as I know, Lu Yu was not resurrected through his original body, and his resurrection method is closer to cloning."

"Clone? Didn't you say that Lu Yu was resurrected through some kind of fungus? ”

This time it was Zhang Ning who raised the question.

Having survived in the last days for eleven years, although he is not a member of the military, he does not know about the biological data collected by the military.

But as a revenant, Zhang Ning has his own way of remembering the strange mutated creatures.

"That's right, listening to Chen Youguo's description, it was that weird fungus that cloned Lu Yu's body and brought him back to life."

"In other words, it was not Lu Yu who was killed by the third-order horse class who came back to life, but another one was born?"

659's pupils shrank, and he asked.

"That's right, that's understandable." Li Baiyi replied.

"Have you ever seen that fungus, and what are its characteristics?"

The transparent mirror data flowed, and 659 opened the database of monocles again while asking.

He was going to rely on Li Baiyi's description to find the mutant fungus that matched.

But the other 659 was disappointed that Li Baiyi didn't seem to have seen that kind of fungus, so he shook his head decisively and gave a negative answer.

"I haven't seen that kind of fungus, everything about Lu Yu was told to me by Chen Youguo."

"Chen Youguo told you everything? He is a dignified seventh-order general, how can he have the leisure time to talk to you about this? ”

Zhang Ning felt that he and 659 had been deceived, Li Baiyi said a lot, but the result was good, it was all heard from other people's mouths?

The extent of that is yet to be determined.

"Although Chen Youguo is a seventh-order, he has a hobby, that is, he likes to drink rice worm wine, and he will get drunk whenever he drinks."

"And he also likes to have someone to drink with him."

At this point, Li Baiyi turned his head and glanced behind him.

"Those who can accompany the generals to drink are naturally all generals."

"The other nine generals in the top ten generals in the Eastern Region look down on Chen Youguo and disdain to drink with him."

"And for the slightly lower-level generals, Chen Youguo is worried that he will become the blood food of the other party's evolution after he gets drunk."

"So his drinking friends are generally the lowest-level generals like me, who can accompany him to drink to relieve his boredom without posing a threat to him."

When 659 and Zhang Ning heard this, a look of surprise appeared on their faces.

The battle between zombies is not as circuitous as that of humans, and the only truth they believe in is strength.

As long as you're strong enough, you can do whatever you want!

Again, they don't have any hierarchical concept.

This applies to all zombies.

Even the generals with wisdom are no exception.

You're higher than me, so I'll find a way to kill you!

Then devour your flesh and blood, recognize your servants, and take your place!

At all, there is no phenomenon that low-level generals will be in awe of a certain high-level general from the bottom of their hearts.

If there was no law that general-level zombies with too many levels could not devour each other, it was estimated that Chen Youguo would not dare to find a low-level fellow to drink with him.

"As for me, I was proficient in wine-making technology before the catastrophe broke out, and after the catastrophe broke out, I quickly mastered the method of making rice worm wine......

"That's ...... so"

When 659 and Zhang Ning heard this, they both nodded their heads to indicate that they understood.

Seeing that the two of them didn't want to ask, Li Baiyi continued to talk.

"I heard Chen Youguo say that although that strange fungus can clone Lu Yu's body and resurrect it, it also needs to be supplemented by means."

"Because the whole process is not something that can be done by one person, Lu Yu found him, and the two sides reached a deal."

"Of course, this transaction is confidential, and no third person knows about it except Chen Youguo and Lu Yu."

At this point, a trace of imperceptible doubt suddenly flashed on 659's face.

And Zhang Ning seemed to have discovered the loophole in the other party's words, and immediately spoke.

"No third person knows? Don't you know? No matter how drunk Chen Youguo is, it is impossible not to remember what he said when he was drunk, right? ”

was refuted by Zhang Ning, and Li Baiyi just added lightly.

"I mean that at that time, if Lu Yu fulfilled the promised payment, then Chen Youguo would most likely take this matter to the grave."
