Chapter 630: Snow Corpse
I stood in the courtyard with Tick to say goodbye, and then I sent her to the entrance of the village and watched her go until her back was completely hidden in the night, when it was the darkest hour before dawn, and it was time for us to go.
When Xu Silin's body warmed up, we immediately set off and returned to Gaishi smoothly.
The renovation of the city hospital has been completed, and two train cars are stacked on the left and right of the entrance to the road into the city, leaving only a gap for one car to pass through.
Other areas that can enter the city are all blocked by cars, because there are buildings and communities in the block, but there is no need to build a car into the city, as long as the entrance and exit between the buildings and the building are blocked, foreign vehicles can not drive into the city.
When the abandoned vehicle of the wall envoy is equipped with a self-made alarm of Hyakurikawa, if someone climbs with bare hands, the alarm will be triggered, and the sentry can also detect someone intruding.
A group of us appeared at the gate with a hula and immediately alerted the sentries, who had searchlights on the carriages, and I don't know where they got them.
The bright light shone on our group, and someone immediately shouted, "It's the captain!" ”
The sentry recognized Gu Yu, but did not let him go immediately, and called Bailichuan and Gu Yu to give a code, Gu Yu had an explanation before leaving, and when he came back, Bailichuan had to tell him the code.
Anything can happen these days, and shapeshifters are everywhere, so we can't take it lightly.
This code is only known to the two of them, neither I nor Long Tao know, of course this is a double insurance, if Bailichuan can't match the code, it means that something happened to the camp.
Bailichuan brought people out to talk to Gu Yu about the code, and everyone was relieved after the code, it was still the old recipe and the old taste, and no one had been replaced.
There was silence in the city, everyone else was asleep, Gu Yu specially instructed Bailichuan not to affect the rest of the others, and a group of us quietly entered the city.
Bailichuan placed Xu Silin and Grandma Yang in the hotel next to the hospital, this four-story express hotel has been packed up, and it is planned to be used as a camp guesthouse.
Grandma Yang, of course, they are not staying temporarily, but the time we came back was unfortunate, and if we arranged accommodation immediately, it would definitely alarm others.
So for the time being, let them rest in the guest house first, and then arrange accommodation after dawn.
Gu Yu asked Long Tao and another young man to go to rest as well, and he wanted to have a separate meeting with me and Bailichuan.
We walked into the conference room of the hospital, which has a separate heating system, and even the slightly empty conference room was very warm.
Bailichuan seemed to be in a hurry than us, as if he was in a hurry to tell us, and as soon as I closed the door of the conference room, he spoke:
"There was an emergency, and we found zombies in an abnormal state."
Gu Yu and I glanced at each other, zombies are evolving, Gu Yu has discovered this, and the zombie running with a brand-name bag on his back impresses me.
Gu Yu knew, and Bailichuan naturally knew that the abnormal state he was talking about now should be his new discovery.
We sat down at the table and listened carefully to Bailichuan's story, which happened a week ago.
Bailichuan was on duty that morning, and he led people to patrol outside the city, and found a group of footprints less than a kilometer outside the city.
Judging from the shape of the footprints, its owner did not wear shoes, but walked around the city barefoot.
The north and west sides of Gaishi face the sea, and the east and south sides are connected to the land, so it can basically be regarded as a circle city.
Bailichuan said that the owner of this group of footprints had turned around the east and south sides, and he couldn't say whether he went to the sea to swim to inspect the other half of the city.
At that time, his first thought when he saw this set of footprints was that a lone survivor found someone in the city, and he wanted to enter but hesitated, so he wandered around the periphery for a while, and finally turned around and left.
Bailichuan said that if the other party was wearing shoes, it would definitely attract his attention, but the other party was barefoot, so he didn't take it to heart, because no spy would come out barefoot to carry out the mission, and after walking in the snow for an hour, his feet would freeze.
As a result, three days ago, the person on duty came to call him and said that the set of footprints had reappeared.
This time, the footprints were only 50 meters away from the city boundary, which means that the owner of the footprints walked half a circle against the protective wall of the car they had built.
Bailichuan finally felt that something was wrong, and he sent additional men to patrol at night, and he did not find it for the next two days.
It wasn't until midnight today, at 12:30, that the patrol found the footprints again, this time close to the wall of the car, and they even found a few fresh palm prints on the door of the car.
"That's the problem, they only saw footprints and handprints, not people." Bailichuan frowned, paused, and said, "A few of them chased in the direction of the footprints. ”
"Did you catch up?" I saw that Bailichuan stopped talking again, so I asked.
"Caught up, no, it should be said that it was that thing that spotted them, hid and ambushed them."
Looking at Bailichuan's sad expression, the ambushed patrol was probably injured, so it was difficult for him to speak.
Indeed, according to eyewitnesses, the thing, which looked like a snowman, suddenly jumped up from the snow and scratched the arm of one of the patrol members.
Although they reacted quickly and immediately fired back, and the team guarding the gate heard the gunshots and rushed over in time, they still let the thing run.
"Do you think it's a zombie, is it because the injured person has mutated?" If it was just an injury, even if it was a missing arm, Bailichuan would not show a sad expression.
Therefore, I speculate that the injured person must have appeared in another state afterwards, so that Bailichuan decided that it was a zombie who injured the person.
"Yes, they tried to carry him back, but they mutated halfway through and bit two more people." Bailichuan sighed, "The person who was bitten mutated faster, and it was only a few seconds...... Finally come back with one. ”
It was the captain of the patrol who returned, and after the wounded man burst out and bited, he realized that the snowman who injured him might be a zombie, so he decisively killed the wounded.
But the bitten man immediately mutated, and he couldn't fight alone, so he had to flee back, but fortunately, the sentry guarding the gate shot and killed the mutant who was chasing him.
This change happened suddenly and quickly, and when Bailichuan arrived at the scene with people, there were only a few corpses left outside the door.
Although the loss was not large, Bailichuan blamed himself very much, and he felt that if he could pay more attention to that set of footprints, maybe the tragedy would not have happened.
The number of human beings is getting smaller and smaller, and everyone is a brother who is born and dies, how precious life is, and the loss of one is unacceptable, I can understand Bailichuan's feelings, but the accident is beyond human control, we can only try to make it happen as little as possible, but it is impossible to prevent it from happening forever.
"I was careless." Bailichuan clenched his fists and slammed the table.
He may have passed the age of tears at every turn, but the blood in his heart hurts more than tears in his eyes.
I think it would be more effective for Gu Yu to open his mouth to comfort him at this time, and when he glanced at Gu Yu, he collided with his gaze.
Since I have a heart, I don't need to say more, I silently shut my mouth and give the two of them space to talk.
The zombies in this world have a single shape, which is easy to leave a fixed impression on people, and they can catch people off guard if they are cold.
I've seen many kinds of zombies, they can get taller, shorter, and even inhuman, and their colors change.
So I don't think it's strange that Bailichuan said that there are white zombies, which can only prove that there are pioneers who adapt to the environment among the zombies.
We all know that cold weather will reduce the activity of zombies, they will be dormant, and even if they can move, the target is very obvious, running around in the snow, they can be recognized at a glance.
This white zombie has obviously broken through this barrier, it can merge with the snow, like a chameleon, with a protective color of the sky.
The most important thing is that it has an intelligent intelligence, and it has been tested three times in a row, only wandering outside the city, perhaps looking for the best route.
Ordinary zombies don't know what patience and waiting are, and they don't know how to disguise and then engage in ambushes.
If it weren't for hearing Bailichuan's words today, I would have almost forgotten that there is still a zombie crisis in humans and unsolved.
There are too many bad things in this world, and I was just thinking about whether I could speed up the progress bar when the game terminal vibrate.
Gu Yu and Bai Lichuan were talking, I looked down and clicked on the terminal, and saw that there were unread letters in the mailbox.
After opening it, I first looked at the payment, and as I had a hunch, it was sent by the chairman of the game association.
The content of the text message is very straightforward, and the beginning is to urge me to reply to the invitation of the previous text message, if there is no white zombie file, I will respond.
But now the camp is in danger, maybe the white zombies are just a pathfinder, there are thousands of evolved zombies waiting to attack the city behind it, and I must defend the nest.
My reply was also very simple and straightforward, and I typed two words directly: not available.
I don't even bother to use hypocritical politeness to the president of the game association, and the two sides are just using each other.
As soon as I replied here, another text message came from there, and the content was also two words: next time.
Since there was a next time, the other party didn't plan to tear his face, so I put away the terminal and continued to listen to the conversation between Gu Yu and Bailichuan.
The topic of human losses has passed, and Gu Yu is now talking about what happened after they went to Taiwan Province.
It didn't take much trouble for them to contact Qiao Tang, Qiao Tang is now the second-in-command in the New Human Alliance, and the first-in-command is his father.
Suddenly hearing Dr. Qiao's name, I was stunned for a moment, I didn't have much contact with Qiao Tang in this time and space, but it seems that without my help, he and Dr. Qiao can be reunited.
The father and son also took the opportunity to usurp the rights of the New Human Alliance and took over the camp in Taiwan Province.
Dr. Qiao agreed to cooperate with us, and the laboratory of the New Humanity Alliance will unconditionally cooperate with our research.
With their technical backing, it will save us a lot of trouble, Gu Yu visited their laboratory, lived in Taiwan Province for a while, and asked them to prepare a box of inhibitors to be used by Nini, and then left a few people and poison gas samples, and then came out to find me.
