Chapter 40: Night Talk

But how could he guarantee that he would be able to mutate successfully after eating the corpse? That's why I didn't talk about my worries before, because he couldn't guarantee it.

Gu Yu motioned for me to sit on the sofa, it seemed that he wanted to have a long talk with me, I don't need to sleep, I don't know if his resurrected ancient corpse is the same as ordinary people, thinking like this, I am more curious about him.

Gu Yu moved a chair and sat across from me, his long straight legs stretched out under the coffee table, while I sat upright, like a good student ready to ask questions, hoping that he would answer all my questions.

"I'll tell you about the situation in the secret room." His opening remarks immediately captured my full attention.

"The hotel was built at the beginning of the last century, the existing building was rebuilt on the original foundation, and the owner of the hotel has kept an underground building, the wine cellar and the secret room under the gazebo, which are part of the old house."

I like to listen to some mysterious old stories, listen to him mention the old house, and wait for the next thing with wide eyes, the cellar is discovered by me personally, so there is no mystery, but he is the only one who has been to the secret room under the gazebo, what is there, why didn't he let anyone see it?

Gu Yu quickly continued: "The secret room has been closed for a long time, it seems that it has only been dug up recently, and there is a coffin parked inside, and the person who dug through the secret room should be the female corpse that has been transformed in the wine cellar." ”

I nodded silently, agreeing with his statement, that the corpse of the transformed female could not have escaped from the entrance where we were going down, and that she had dug a passage through the cellar, most likely by accident.

"But I saw nearly a hundred bones inside, all of them were bones, no flesh and blood, and judging from their clothes, these people died not long ago, most likely hotel guests, after the disaster broke out, they did not leave the hotel, but for some reason, they turned into bones in the secret room."

I said, "What do you think?" ”

Gu Yu was silent and said, "It's the coffin." ”

I was amazed, "That coffin ate them?" ”

Gu Yu shook his head: "Judging from my experience, it was the things in the coffin that sucked up the essence of those people, but maybe the quantity was not enough, and that thing couldn't come out, so I destroyed it." ”

I said, "You also got into a fight with the mutated scientist, and he must have been desperate to protect the contents of that coffin, right?" ”

Gu Yu glanced at me appreciatively, and then nodded: "The female corpse we disposed of is the same kind of walking corpse as him, but he has been mutating for a short time and has not formed a climate. There may be another mystery in this place, and the corpse is not infected with a new virus. ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Then why were the few people killed later in the hotel, and the internal organs were hollowed out, not caught in the secret room and sucked dry?" ”

"Do you remember the other corpses in the cellar? My people checked and found that none of them had any internal organs, except for the corpse, so I speculated that the hotel owner was the first to nurture the female corpse. ”

"He grabbed the living person to feed the female corpse, and then hid the corpse, just in time for the outbreak of the end times, he himself either died or ran away, and the female corpse had nothing to eat, so he dug a passage and ran out to forage for food, but dug through the secret room......" I said, thinking along the train of thought: "She must have communicated with the contents of the coffin, so she fed the survivors trapped in the hotel, and she was hungry, and waited until the Fu team and them came, and then got herself food." ”

Gu Yu followed my words: "The things in the coffin need more living people and more helpers, so she took the scientist and cultivated him." ”

At this point, our guess should be closer to the truth, because when I saw the scientist's corpse at that time, his body was well preserved and had not been disemboweled, so the female corpse arrested him definitely not for food.

His later mutations also illustrate this, fortunately, he and the female corpse are not at the same level, if there are two ghost corpses cooperating, Gu Yu's soldiers are estimated to be left.

The outbreak of the disaster seems to be another form of time pause, if it weren't for Fu Yan and people retreating to this hotel, the secrets of its underground would never have been discovered, at least not in a short period of time.

Although the hotel owner has a special hobby, he didn't expect that there was a secret room under the pavilion, and when he was rebuilt, he saw that the pavilion was well preserved and antique, so he left it untouched, along with the coffin below and the things in the coffin were also preserved.

However, the corpse that can absorb people's essence is still nearly a hundred living people, this thing must not be kept, don't make a monster like the one mentioned in a certain Gang's cross talk, and name yourself the Hundred Bone Corpse Demon.

"I'm even more worried now, Dr. Wen eats the flesh of the Hundred Bone Corpse Demon, and if he doesn't die, he will become a monster!"

"Hundred Bone Corpse Demon?"

"Ahem, that's a pronoun."

"It's quite an image."

"Then I'll go with you tomorrow, and in case of danger, I'll at least take you on the run."

"I don't need you to participate in Dr. Wen's affairs, I have other tasks for you."

"Oh, there's a mission, hehe, I'm part of the organization now?"

"Outsiders, tomorrow you take Long Tao and Hu Tao to Minghe County, which has been occupied by ordinary zombies, you can help me get something out."

"No problem, what?"

"The test report of the water source, the first area in the north is Minghe City, where there is a sudden tide of mutant corpses in the middle of the night, it was suspected that the virus originated from water pollution, and the team sent to take samples failed to come out, and it is estimated that all the staff have died, and the test data recorded in their local laboratory belongs to first-hand information, and we must get it."

"Minghe...... No survivors? ”

"No, the entire inhabitants of the city were mutated overnight."

I don't quite believe what Gu Yu said, Minghe City is quite famous in the north, it was originally a county seat, famous for its abundance of high-quality rice, the rice produced there is sold all over the country, and even exported abroad, the city's population adds up to nearly one million, except for the countryside, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the city alone, all mutated into zombies overnight, what is this concept?

Anyway, there were no such things in the towns I passed along the way, and I could see more or less signs of people fleeing the city, and there were no blood stains in the cars thrown in the middle of the road, which at least showed that many people fled from the city after the disaster.

What the truth is, I need to confirm it myself tomorrow, Gu Yu gave me a map of the city of Minghe, and a hand-drawn area map, which marked the water quality monitoring station I was looking for very clearly.

He asked me to review the route and make sure I remembered it, and then said, "Safety first, if there is a special situation, withdraw first." ”

I suddenly wanted to tease him, so I asked, "If I sacrifice my parents, will I get a pension?" I'll give you a martyr's medal~"

Gu Yu's face sank: "If you're not sure, just stay in the hotel honestly." ”

My ability to work was questioned, which was unbearable, and immediately objected: "That's not good, I've been over the mountains for so long, and I've come alone, don't think my sister is a weak chicken!" ”

I took the initiative to come up with the task, firstly, because of Dr. Wen, and secondly, in order to find a value for myself, the new detector can't be made, as a zombie who has been unusually integrated into the human team, I have to help everyone.

Hearing my bold words, Gu Yu's serious face warmed up a little, and he advised: "Be careful yourself." ”

It was already a quarter past nine o'clock in the evening after we talked, and seeing that he didn't mean to drive me away, I took this opportunity to talk to him more, such as the situation in the safe zone, Nini's future, and finally talked about his own problems.

Gu Yu's answer made me a little disappointed, he can sleep, although it is only every two days, but compared to my 24-hour eyes do not close, it still seems much normal.

Human beings are social creatures, and being excluded from the group can create a fear that if they find themselves different from others, they will unconsciously want to find their 'kind'.

"I don't need to eat." Gu Yu's words of comfort lifted my spirits, maybe it was my delusion, and the moment I looked up with joy, there seemed to be a smile passing through his lips, if there was nothing, I was not sure.

"My body is like a stand-alone machine, absorbing, powering, circulating, and self-contained." He paused, and I felt like he didn't have anything to say, but the topic ended at that point, and he didn't continue.

He was willing to share so much with me that he didn't treat me as an outsider, so I accepted it when I saw it, and when I saw that the time was not early, I took my leave and prepared to go back to my room to rest, and I would go to the task early tomorrow.

As soon as I said I was leaving, Gu Yu interrupted me: "Nini is fine alone, you are resting here." ”

I was stunned and looked at the furnishings in the luxury suite, which was indeed better than the room on the first floor, but it was not good for a lonely man and a widow to be in the same room......

"Lest anyone come and disturb my rest in the middle of the night, you guard the door." The bubble of fantasy was punctured by the coldness of reality, and after Gu Yu finished speaking, he went back to the inner room to rest, leaving me alone in the living room, and could only hold the soft cushions and collapse on the sofa.

I have never lived in a high-end hotel, and I have only seen the luxury suite on TV, thinking that I will go on a mission tomorrow, and I don't know how many days I will be trapped in the zombie-ridden dead city, so I decided to enjoy it and take a bubble bath.

"Gu Yu, I'll use the bathroom." Symbolically knocking on the door of the room, it can be regarded as informing the owner, I walked into the bathroom, and found that the bathtub was dry, so Gu Yu washed the shower, I washed the clothes while the water was released, since I became a zombie, my resistance is stronger than a day, not to mention a cold shower, even if you take a cold shower, don't think about catching a cold.

There are rows of bottles and cans on the shelves in the bathroom, and a pot of dried rose petals, I opened the bottles one by one and smelled them, and poured everything I could into the bathtub, and scattered the petals.

I hummed a little song, soaked in the fragrant water, and didn't hear a knock at the door until Tuya broke into the bathroom angrily, Gu Yu didn't stop me, I was priing my calves and washing my feet!
