Chapter 45: Corpse Mist

Shirley's offer is indeed very exciting, but she said that there is food, you know, our food is not whole grains, fruits and vegetables, if it is only herself, I may think that she is referring to corpse herbs, but the high-level zombies are obviously not only her, then the food she said is intriguing.

Shirley knew my concerns, especially the high-level zombies like me who had been transformed from humans to corpses and still retained their memories and emotions, and it was true that as she said, I had become a monster, enduring loneliness, wandering around, and being pursued by the military, and it was impossible for me to integrate into the circle of ordinary humans, and even if I managed to blend in, I would not end well once I was discovered.

But she didn't know that I met Gu Yu, Ah Ying and Long Tao, they knew my identity as a zombie and were still willing to approach me, so even if Shirley was right, my choice today is still the same, if there is a day when I am ostracized by all mankind, I will choose to avoid human beings, and I will never treat them as food.

"I'm willing to join, but my ability is limited, so I may not be able to help you." I said with a slight inferiority, "I'm much weaker than you." ”

Shirley smiled encouragingly, "Don't say that, you are very talented, and you can keep your sanity in the corpse mist, which proves that you are qualified to be our partner." ”

When I heard an unfamiliar word, I couldn't help but look at her intently and ask, "Corpse mist?" Be... Is it the fog over the city? Why do you call it corpse mist? ”

The middle-aged woman standing next to her said: "The people in Minghe City died overnight, this is the credit of the corpse fog, it is not the water pollution at all, the water is not guaranteed to be drunk by everyone, this air is inhaled by everyone, and those people at the monitoring station are not testing the water source, they-"

"Ahem!" Shirley coughed lightly, and the middle-aged woman named Sister Guixiang quickly shut up, she almost told the source of the corpse mist, I was a little sorry, but there was a blank look on her face, indicating that she didn't understand what she was saying.

The possibility of the fog moving with the wind is very small, it is not a cloud, it does not reach that height, it usually forms only in a certain place, it dissipates as soon as the sun rises, I know only the fog in the forests and mountains, and sometimes the fog in the morning in the city also appears, but it does not last for months.

Thinking so, I felt that it was necessary to find out the cause of the formation of the corpse fog, but now that I had another thing to figure out, I continued to ask: "You said that I have the talent to keep my sanity in the corpse fog, you mean, zombies will be affected by the fog?" ”

"Well, those ordinary zombies outside are like ants, they have antennae to receive signals, and the corpse fog will release signals that they can receive and interpret, you should have found that zombies are more active when the fog is thin, and zombies are like toys without electricity when the fog is thick."

"It's not going to be this fog that surrounds us with zombies at the monitoring station, right?"

"Do you think it's us?"

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not, it's okay for me to control a few, thousands... Hey, I can't do that. In fact, the corpse fog is not rushing at you, you might as well see it as a living body, so it is easier to understand, human beings enter its body, it is food, and ordinary zombies are cells that digest food and provide nutrients for it. ”

"So, what about zombies like us? What is it for it? ”

"It's harmless and useless cells, and it will ignore them."

While I was surprised by Shirley's statement, I was also worried about Long Tao and Hu Tao, if they sent food to people's stomachs, would I still be able to successfully save them?

Thinking of the two of them, I hurriedly asked, "You said you arrested two people, where are they?" ”

I didn't admit that they were my friends, and I wanted to confuse Shirley, and since I had to pretend to join them as she wanted, I couldn't call humans friends anymore.

Shirley untied my straps and helped me take off my restraints, she helped me up and led me towards the front door, I felt like something was going to happen when I saw her laughing, and I couldn't go too fast, as if I was in a hurry to see them.

I admonished myself to be calm, and if I couldn't bear it, I would make a big plan, Shirley looked like she had been in the society for a few years, and she was calmer than me, a young man who had just graduated from college, and she always had a kind smile on her face, and I couldn't tell whether she believed me or not.

We walked out of the main entrance of the cultural school, the left side of the courtyard is the parking space, the right side is the front playground, I didn't see Long Tao and Hu Tao, Shirley walked down the steps, the footsteps did not stop, and continued to move forward with me.

When I came to the school gate, I saw that the road was a construction site, and a long ditch was dug on the side of the road to replace the gas pipeline, I remember that most of this kind of ditch was more than one meter deep, but the section in front of the school was two meters deep and nearly two meters wide, and at this time the ditch was full of zombies.

Hu Tao was tied up with a rope and carried by two zombies from the opposite side of the ditch, his consciousness was clear, and he saw that my eyes revealed anxiety and worry, and I said in my heart that he was still worried about me like this, and he didn't look at who was more dangerous.

When I think about it, I am quite touched that a person can worry about me when his own safety cannot be guaranteed, which shows that he treats me as a friend.

"Just one?" I wondered.

"The other is tender, save it for the evening." Sister Guixiang grinned, that simple and pure face, showing such a smile, no one would have thought that she was talking about how to eat people.

"Actually, it's not necessary to eat, that person has special abilities, I really want him to join us." Shirley winked at me, but I felt a chill in my heart.

Long Tao's ability was only used when he was outside the city, and he was usually no different from ordinary people, how did Shirley know that he had special abilities? Long Tao said it himself, and it is unlikely that he will betray Hu Tao, does Shirley have perspective eyes?

Hu Tao heard our conversation on the other side, his eyes widened in surprise, and he stared at me as if he was asking me why.

He misunderstood me, but now I have no way to explain it, so I can only continue to act, I avoided his gaze, and said in a calm tone as much as possible:

"If you kill his comrade, he won't join us."

"Of course you'll hate us as humans, but ......," Shirley smiled mysteriously at me, her eyes curled.

The horror in my heart was even worse, her implication was to turn Long Tao into a zombie? How can this work?

"If he becomes an ordinary zombie, can he still use special abilities, I see Xuan." I said this on purpose in the hope that Shirley would dismiss my speculation.

"Of course ordinary zombies can't, but the other can." Shirley sold a pass, and I won't go on here.

Hu Tao heard her words and wanted to shout something, but before the first syllable was released, Shirley raised her chin slightly, my heart tightened, and when I talked to her, my eyes never dared to leave Hu Tao, Shirley is too smart, she doesn't choose whether to believe me or not, just kill one and keep one, so that no matter whether I take refuge in her or not, we will lose someone.

Save Hu Tao, Long Tao will be poisoned by her immediately, save Long Tao, Hu Tao will be buried in the mouth of the corpse now, I have never encountered such a dilemma in my short life, it is a matter of human life, I am so anxious that my throat is dry, my heart is tight, my breathing is out of control, and I become short.

Gu Yu, Gu Yu, where are you? Now we all need your help!

I screamed in my heart, but Shirley didn't give me time to think, when she nodded to the zombies opposite, the two zombies carrying Hu Tao let go of their hands, and let Hu Tao roll down from the ditch, the zombies below had already smelled the smell of the living, and they all whined, hoping that the food would quickly enter their mouths.

I felt like my head was about to explode, it was about to burst, my heart was suddenly hanging in the air, and all my thoughts were still, I didn't know anything else, I only knew that if Hu Tao was eaten by zombies in front of my eyes, I would never want to erase this picture from my brain for the rest of my life.

It will be my nightmare, never-ending, until death.

The matter is urgent, I can't care about anything else, I want to save Hu Tao first, time seems to be deliberately stretched, and like a stuck movie, every frame is extremely clear, I urged my brain to act, and found that the feeling of swelling does not affect my use of teleportation eggs.

And, this time, I went straight to Hu Tao, with a clear goal and precise positioning, and fished him out when a male zombie grabbed his feet.

There are no ifs in the world, because if I could predict the future, I would ask Hu Tao about Long Tao's whereabouts before he was thrown into the corpse ditch, and then use the teleportation egg to rescue them in one go.

But the truth is, I didn't expect that I could suddenly control this ability, whether it was distance, location, or direction, I could control it all!

"Where's Long Tao?" I took Hu Tao to move to the backyard of the cultural school, which is the road that Sister Guixiang brought me to, because I knew that there were no zombies and obstacles here.

"I don't know, they're separating us." Hu Tao's voice trembled, obviously too anxious.

I cut the rope on his body and prepared to go back to the cultural school to find it, the school is Shirley's nest, she will never hide too far away, Hu Tao wants to join me, and I shouted at it.

He is equivalent to a walking feast for zombies, whoever smells it will pounce on it and bite a few bites, not to mention that Shirley and Sister Guixiang are not ordinary zombies, in case he is caught again, then they only need to scratch him lightly, and he will be finished.

After all, Hu Tao has been following Gu Yu for a long time, he knows that being hot-headed will only be bad, after calming down a little, he nodded and agreed that I would go back alone, and he hid in a garage, and we discussed the code, and he closed the door.

I turned back to school, Shirley was standing in the middle of the playground in the backyard with a smile on her face, she knew I would be back, so she waited for me, I hated her laughter, as if everything was under control.

"It's a shame we could have been friends." Shirley said.

"I'm not friends with man-eating monsters."

"It's okay, if you don't eat people, you can eat something else."

As she spoke, her body suddenly shook, and I tensed my muscles all over my body, and she laughed as she rushed towards me, and her black eyeballs instantly swelled, and the eye sockets cracked almost four or five times the size of their original size.

Now she is much more terrifying than the alien ET in the movie, and the moment I swung the knife at her, her image actually changed, and she became my mother's appearance, so that the knife in my hand unconsciously deviated, only cutting her shoulder.
