Goro Akamatsu.

If this is the zombie's real name, it means that he is most likely the owner of the white coat and notebook they found earlier.

At the same time, it was also said that the real identity of these zombies, who claimed to be the experimental products of the Azure Pharmaceutical Company, was actually the medical staff working under their name, and even according to the Mushroom King and the content of Abu Hatak's recording, they also participated in various experiments hidden in the dark side.

This also answers Li Wu's doubts when he heard that Akamatsu claimed to be a zombie transformed by Azure Pharmaceutical - Yui Hirata was also a victim of this company, but she was not locked up underground in a big way, so it can't be explained that she was deliberately released.

In the picture projected by the fungus carpet, Li Wu can distinguish many seen figures among these zombies in white coats, including the old Borg standing in the front row and being a circle larger than his similar body around him; Shrinking behind him, touching his face with a bewildered expression, it was the buddy who had sent a telegram to the broken leg before.

Akamatsu is also among them.

"You are worthy of cultivation chosen by the Creator, so He has given you the power to transcend death. Try to summarize succinctly. ”

The Mushroom King concluded unhurriedly.

And how will the zombies react when they hear all this?

"You're lying."

He spoke calmly, and then his tone rose more and more because of his excitement, "Hah! Do you think that this kind of blinding method created by you and the nonsense that fools people can deceive people? ”

Akamatsu was triumphant, like a lawyer who had seized a loophole in the prosecution during a court argument: "Not to mention that I can't remember this scene happening at all, the outside world has been destroyed, what is the use of the creator you want us 'assistants'?" He's clearly abandoned this place now, too! ”

But this rebuttal ended in the other party's fluttering words.

"The outside world has been destroyed? That's a false memory for you. Regrettably. ”

The zombie leaked a hissing protest from its throat like a choked mallard: "What did you say? ”

As the mycelium wriggled, the image on the wall changed again.

This time it was an image of the human-like white coats working in the laboratory, but their faces often had a look of horror on their faces, and the reason for this scene was obvious, that is, they were asked to operate in a variety of ways, all of which challenged the psychological limits of ordinary people.

Human cloning, organ prostheticization, inserting electrodes into children's ears, turning living people into half-alive monsters...... Just seeing part of the content made Li Wu feel a strong disgust for this company and even the people who appeared in the picture.

Among them, there is also a familiar face with some resolute temperament, and a little comparison can be found that it is the face of the zombie standing here in the human period.

Akamatsu said in disgust: "What are you trying to illustrate by showing us this? And you want to slander me for being involved in these ...... Disgusting thing? ”

"Hahaha. Mockingly. It is strange for human beings to be able to do what you define as evil when they know that they will not remember what they have done and that they will not be punished; But once you think about it in hindsight, you will be crushed by the so-called guilt. Emotionally. ”

The purple and ugly mushroom body trembled, and the scene switched to the scene after the white coats turned into zombies.

Only this time their reactions were different, some opened their phones in a panic to look at their current appearance, almost fainted despite the limitations of physiological functions, and some stroked the dry skin around them with interest.

Old Borg looked at someone outside the frame with a flattering expression, while Akamatsu and a few zombies fell to their knees, crying in despair, but only yellowing juice oozed from the shriveled eye sockets.

"All of a sudden, you remembered what you had done, and a few of you were clamoring for the Creator to destroy you every day, and the Creator, who was annoyed, simply gave up the idea of recruiting helpers. Interrupt. ”

"It just so happened that he wanted to see what kind of society would emerge from a group of new species of undead who had survived in isolation systems, so he arranged for us to help with the operation. It is an honor. ”

The picture changed again, this time with the mycelium enveloping the zombies, reaching into their ear canals, forming hanging cocoons one by one.

I don't know which specific scene or which sentence stimulated Akamatsu, making him fall to his knees with a thud.

He raised his bloodshot pupils and stared at Li Wu deadly, like a key tota who longed for the Buddha to hang down the spider silk.

"You ...... You're from outside, tell me, what is the situation like in the outside world? ”

Li Wu had already connected the previous clues at this moment.

Akamatsu, or Akamatsu Goro, and the large number of zombies on the first floor, I am afraid that it is indeed the medical staff of this hospital, and it is also possible that they may have assisted in the cruel research of Abkhatak, either forcibly or voluntarily.

But for ordinary people, it only takes a little time to automatically forget the extraordinary things they see, which is why the vampires want to transform their chosen assistants into anomalous things - an act that also causes the zombies to remember what they have done.

People like Akamatsu are overwhelmed by guilt and refuse to continue cooperating with the vampires, and in the end, enraged, Abkhatak simply conducts a social experiment with all the zombies.

After that, the Azure Pharmaceutical Company was closed due to some kind of experimental accident, and it has been locked down until now, until the arrival of two outsiders.

"As I've been telling you before, everything is normal in the outside world, there's no nuclear war."

He told the truth.

Akamatsu squeezed out an ugly expression, reached out and pulled down a large handful of scalp and bloody hair, and squeezed out a silent whimper.

The zombie, who had declared that he wanted to see the real thing more before going upstairs, was crushed into a huddled mass of rotten flesh after actually witnessing the reality.

"Please forgive us for the crimes we have committed!"

He repeated over and over what he had written in his notebook.

"Classmate Li Wu, can we beat that big mushroom?"

Hoshikawa Aoi whispered, "I think it's underwhelming." ”

As if noticing the content of their exchange, the Mushroom King spun for a while, wondering if it was aiming its self-righteous head-on at the two: "Back to the point." We hope that humans from the outside world will help us to completely eradicate these zombies. Make suggestions in good faith. ”

"Why?"

Li Wu asked rhetorically.

"From the moral point of view of human beings, they belong to the evil side. And we just grow normally pollution-free greenery, shyly. ”

It also shrank a few times, not knowing if it was a way to express shyness.

"Green and pollution-free...... You're embarrassed to say it. ”

Even the four [Charm Mushrooms] carrying it trembled as if they couldn't hold back.

"How? If you are on the side of the plants, or if you remain neutral, you will reap our friendship. Expectantly. ”

It made an invitation like a king.

"Not interested. Even if I want to trouble zombies, I don't think much of it will be in the name of helping the big mushroom. ”

Li Wu simply refused, "We are going to go up to the third floor here now. ”

"Denied, regrettably. The creator left us with an order to hold on here, so the answer is no. Humanity has fallen for our ploy to stall for time, proudly. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange fragrance wafted up.

Sweet and fragrant, like a perfectly blended scent of all the fruits and flowers in the world, fills every corner of the second floor, so that those who smell it want to let go of everything and offer all their loyalty to its source.

"It tastes good."

However, this supernatural ability from the charm mushroom has only been exchanged for such a comment.

Orange chandeliers hang at intervals above the second-floor botanical garden, providing plenty of light.

Under the strong light, the shadow under Li Wu's feet trembled and swayed slightly, as if it had a self-will as if it was separated from the body, and its sharp wings stretched out from his back, gradually distorting and transforming into the shape of an evil dragon.

But the distorted shadow finally seemed to be crucified to the ground, and could only roll helplessly in place, constantly oozing dark red blood, smearing the shape of the cross that encompassed both Li Wu and Hoshikawa Aoi.

Dragon's Blood Cross.

If it is a purely physical attack, it will not play a very good defensive role.

Because it was born from the legend of killing evil and protecting the people, it is only effective against supernatural forces such as witchcraft and magic.

Unfortunately, the traps laid by the plants are clearly not just following the mechanism of nature.

On the contrary, the zombie who fell to the ground on one side and had broken thoughts was successfully charmed, and pounced on the two of them with teeth and claws, and was slapped by Li Wu and turned his head three hundred and sixty degrees, and then came to his senses.

"It's a pity that we didn't get the desired effect."

The king, who was manipulating the plants behind the scenes, let out an inorganic exclamation.

Then the entire second floor shook.

The slapped zombie not only unraveled the charm, but also seemed to stop even going crazy, stumbling out of the stairs connecting the first floor.

And the other two didn't care about him, because they were facing a scene that was not dangerous, but the visuals were really disgusting.

The many ordinary plants on the second floor, including the giant tree in the center, gradually melted like mollusks that had been injected with a dissolved solution, exposing the mycelium entrenched within them as if to accelerate the process of decay by tens of billions of times.

The creatures that occupy the magpie's nest tumble into a cloud of gray and converge around the mushroom king, while the blanket of mushrooms covering the walls behind them falls off and envelops the mushrooms.

This series of events took place in a very short period of time, and if you look at it from the eyes of ordinary people, it is that the second floor suddenly becomes a desert without greenery, leaving only two small figures and a behemoth standing in front of them.

"A long-lost combined and extremely gigantic monster!"

Hoshikawa Aoi flew into the air, and Li Wu looked like he had caught the magician's expression.

"After all, it's still a vampire in the Celtic worldview."

He looked at the super-giant vegetative figure in front of him, which seemed to be woven from countless different plant fibers, hollow as a cage, and had the text "Wicker Man" on its head.

The vegetative man raised his right hand composed of five [corn cannons], rotated his five fingers, and fired five corns like a cruise missile, dragging the white smoke behind the tail to automatically chase the magical girl in the air.

At the same time, it lifted its left foot, which was magnified dozens of times, and crushed Li Wu to the ground like an ant.

Of course, Li Wu didn't have the reason to stand stupidly and hard-connect, with the huge quality difference between them, even if he caught it, there was a high probability that he would be stepped on.

After all, the ground may not be able to hold up, and now there are faint signs of collapse.

He jumped to his feet before the enemy stepped down, feeling the shock wave and gunpowder smoke sweep back and forth beneath him.

And the watermelon, which was like a green city wall, had already come to Li Wu who was in the air with a rolling wind.

It was the left fist of the [Wicker Man] swept out, like a city-breaking hammer!

Since you jumped into the air, it was difficult to borrow power, which was a natural idea.

However, the human body can swing the power to break the wall and tear down the building, and the natural mechanics should lie back in the coffin.

Therefore, Li Wu placed his fists around his waist.

"Crash King Kong!"

Just like the twin cannons fell on a concrete wall at the same time, the surface of the watermelon centered on the landing point of his fist shattered layer by layer, and the thickest watermelon skin that Li Wu had ever dug in his life fell from the air like a dam bursting the embankment, revealing a bright red melon pulp.

With the power of this blow, he rushed back to a higher ground and threw a red flame compression bomb at the [Wicker Man].

With a thud that shattered the glass curtain wall of the room on the right, the giant made of plant fibers turned into a fire giant, and the flames were like cancer cells that traveled along the structures that made up the human body, quickly assimilating all the greenery.

"Human! Do you think the same trick will still work for us?! ”

I don't know where it came from, and it resonated like a thousand overlapping voices.

The flaming wicker man continued to shoot various projectiles into the air to interfere with the magical girl, and turned to Li Wu, who had just fallen to the ground.

"You will be a sacrifice! Dedicated to our Creator! ”

It roared, opening the cage in the center of its body.

The next moment, Li Wu found that the light around him suddenly dimmed, and there was a beeping burning sound outside.

He was forcibly pulled into the wicker man's body.

The flames seeped into the cage and were out of his control, greedily thirsting for the sacrifice.

Surrounded by crimson, Li Wu stretched out his right hand.

The cyan flames circled out, keeping the flames of wrath at bay, and from within them flew lightly the form of a black dragon.

He made a backward stretch gesture, and the other party circled around him with this movement, and then the blue flame forged the blade of the sword.

"I certainly don't think it will be useful."

He swung the Kurigala sword, which he had used for the first time since returning from Ryudo Island, "So this is a brand new version that you haven't seen before." ”
