Although the hunt for mutant zombies was very smooth this time, there were more doubts in Shen Fei's heart.

The first is why the tranquilizer bullet has such a strong effect on mutated zombies, but not against ordinary zombies.

Secondly, these mutated zombies are so beautiful.

Yes, Shen Fei believes that these mutated zombies have biological beauty, and their mutated structure and organization do not seem to be the result of natural selection, but more like they were specially designed.

The natural variation of organisms is because there is a probability of error in the process of gene replication, this variation is uncontrollable, and most of the variations are harmful and unbeneficial.

In the background introduction, it is said that the zombie virus broke out in 2020, and the time is displayed on the base panel, and it is only 2023.

In just three years, so many zombies with various complex functions and no structural redundancy have been mutated, which is the decision to lift the coffin board of all biologists.

The view here is wide, in order to prevent being discovered by zombies in the distance, Shen Fei did not stay, and after putting away the food unit, he quickly hid back behind the car.

Looking back, the black flower was ready to move on, Shen Fei smiled and continued to explore the way.

Even if they were looking for mutant zombies, the speed of the two of them was not slow, and it was mainly Shen Fei who was exploring the path that controlled the speed of the team.

And the black flower that has been following closely behind her, has not made any inquiries from beginning to end, she follows Shen Fei quickly, and Shen Fei waits quietly when she stops, as if she completely regards herself as Shen Fei's entourage, and only shows her presence when she is fighting.

And Shen Fei's performance did not disappoint her, she was always able to find mutant zombies in advance, and the distance was also maintained very well, which kept the two of them in an active state, and the whole hunting process was quite easy.

The two of them eliminated a raider in a convenience store, and Shen Fei took cover on the shelves, cooperated with the black flower on the other side, and solved it in a sneak attack, exploding a black bullet.

In the middle of a group of ordinary zombies, a spitter was found, where the terrain was relatively open, and the number of ordinary zombies gathered was around hundreds.

Shen Fei assessed that the risk was relatively large, and the benefits were average, so he decided to give up the loot and leave after being sniped by the black flower to reduce the danger of the subsequent zombie siege.

The Black Shore Flower agreed, and effortlessly killed it with the longbow, but this time it almost caused a zombie riot, and the two fled in a hurry.

Afterwards, Shen Fei also made an analysis, the sniping of the black flower was not too big, and the zombie group did not find the target at that time, but the zombies present were still roaring, which may be related to the number of zombie groups.

Shen Fei believes that when zombies gather more than a certain number, the behavior patterns of zombies may change.

Of course, these assumptions are all based on Shen Fei's perception of human beings, and they are not necessarily accurate.

After the two left, the group of zombies roared for a while, but did not notice the enemy, and gradually calmed down, and when no one noticed, a small propeller sound descended near the corpse of the spitter......

After that, they also encountered a mutated zombie that subverted Shen Fei's cognition, a zombie with a fat body, and before the two killed it, it actually sensed the crisis and then blew itself up.

Although Shen Fei asked himself that his whereabouts were not particularly secretive, he did not leak himself before the attack, and the attack of the two of them came fast enough and strong enough, but the fat zombie still blew himself up.

If it weren't for Shen Fei's sudden shock, temporarily forcibly changing the direction of the sprint, and then retreating quickly, he might have been affected by the fat zombie's self-explosion.

Although there is a high probability that it will not cause fatal harm if it is affected, it will inevitably suffer from virus infection and must return to the base for treatment, which will delay a lot of time, and it is not something that the two of them want to see.

Afterwards, looking at the illustrated book, this zombie is called the Self-Destructor, and it will self-detonate when it is close to a survivor or threatened, and the self-detonation is not strong, but it will produce a cloud of poisonous gas, and if you touch it, you will be infected.

The reason why he subverted Shen Fei's cognition was because this self-destructive mode had never appeared in any known species, at most it was at the level of shutting off the tail to survive.

Self-detonation itself is not conducive to the continuation of the race, and natural selection will also eliminate this pattern.

And this kind of setting, Shen Fei has only seen in games and film and television works.

Combined with a series of settings such as the stable mutation of mutant zombies, the base that will grow, and the items that will be exploded when killing zombies, it seems to tell Shen Fei that this may be a game world.

But Shen Fei remained skeptical, because the voyeuristic eye told him that this world was real, not virtual......

Another thing, when Shen Fei was looking at the information of the self-destructor's illustrated book, he found that there was another new type of mutant zombie in the illustrated book, the pretender.

This kind of zombie can be mimicked as an ordinary zombie, but its destructive power is average, only slightly higher than that of ordinary zombies.

If nothing else, it should be a new type of zombie that has been encountered by Bullet Shell Drifting and Aletta.

Shen Fei also found that these zombies encountered later tended to be functional, and in terms of individual combat ability, they were not as good as the raiders encountered in the first stage.

If zombies are considered to be the same race, there are functional differences between different individuals, which is usually a characteristic of a social population, such as humans.

And do these zombies spontaneously produce this difference?

If so, then whether the zombies are social, then they must have a leader or a group of leaders, where is the leader? Are they the ones behind the horde of corpses?

And if not, then who is behind the different mutations of the zombies?

Everything is telling Shen Fei, accept it, this is a game world, as long as the world is virtual, no matter what the setting is reasonable.

The black flower noticed that Shen Fei would wander from time to time, but because it did not affect the actions of the two, she did not intervene, and she was also guessing whether what Shen Fei was thinking was consistent with what she thought.

The four players agreed on a three-hour hunt, after which they would return to the base to gather the loot and intel regardless of the harvest.

So he put his thoughts on hold for the time being, and the hunting operation between the two continued.

With Shen Fei, a radar-like pathfinder, and a deadly sniper like Black Flower, the hunting efficiency of the two is surprisingly high.

Two more Spitters, two Distortors, a Self-Destructor, and a Pretender were killed together, and the three-hour deadline was not too long left, so the two decided to stop the hunt and return to base.

However, one of the Spitters and the loot props generated by the self-destructor were not collected by the two for similar reasons as the first time, and it was too risky to collect.

So the whole payout is 4 units of food, 1 unit of ammo, and 1 unit of health kits.
