When Lu Cheng saw the message that Xiao Man liked to eat candy, he knew that he had guessed eight or nine.

Xiao Man loves candy, and the rats he caught must be used to feed zombies.

I just don't know if the zombie she fed is also an alienated zombie like Jiang Shuyao.

If so, it's okay to say, but if not, then his relatives are probably rotting now.

Lu Cheng didn't want to ask directly, but he just thought about it and replied.

[Lu Cheng: Regarding your question, there is no way to accurately answer your question in our current research data.

However, our research results show that some zombies will gradually recover their memories under certain conditions, and return to the same sane state as before. 】

Lu Cheng's statement is not very accurate.

For example, Zhang Xiaoyun, who has the most complete memory, actually wants to go up and take two bites when he sees human beings.

Lu Cheng himself is the same.

It's just that I eat alienated crystal nuclei every day, and occasionally I can eat steak to satisfy my cravings.

So for those humans, Lu Cheng can actually completely restrain his appetite.

But if Lu Cheng was allowed to go without eating for more than ten days, Lu Cheng really couldn't imagine that when he saw the human survivors, he couldn't bear to have a full meal.

At least from Lu Cheng's point of view, even if a zombie is an alienated zombie, I am afraid that it will never be able to return to the state of a primitive human.

Unless it's true, there can be such a thing as an antidote.

This time he didn't have to wait long, and the other party quickly recovered.

[Xiao Man loves candy: Really? Will they really be able to regain their original memories? 】

[Lu Cheng: Yes, but there are certain conditions, and the specific research is still continuing. 】

[Xiao Man loves candy: Professor Lu, can you tell me more about the content of the research?] 】

[Lu Cheng: I'm sorry, a lot of research data can only be kept secret now, and because of the research equipment, many things can't go too deep.

But can we get to know each other a little bit more, are you on which survivor team? Or are you on your own? 】

Lu Cheng began to inquire about the details of the other party again, but this time the waiting time was longer.

[Xiao Man loves candy: I can't explain my current situation, I know some survivors, but I don't have a very close relationship with them.

I can understand your kindness, but I can't join any of the teams right now, and if there's anything new in your research, I'd like you to let me know, okay? 】

After seeing his reply, Lu Cheng hesitated for a moment, and finally replied.

[Lu Cheng: Okay, let's get in touch again.] 】

The other party is obviously still very vigilant, and Lu Cheng's identity as a researcher is fake after all.

couldn't come up with any practical results, so he continued to chat, he was afraid of revealing his stuffing and arousing the suspicion of the other party.

I'm afraid I can only wait until I capture the Central Medical College and let Uncle Jiang conduct some research, and then continue to contact Xiaoman who loves candy.

Just take advantage of this time to completely solve the matter of the Skeleton Gang in Beicheng.

Lu Cheng put away his mobile phone, and then walked towards Lao Zhao.

Keep up the work!

……………

Somewhere in the woods west of the city.

More than a dozen men and women are carrying bags of sandbags from the truck next to them in a relay manner and piling them up in the middle of the bridge in front of them.

They are all people in Xu Jingqiu's shelter, and since Xu Jingqiu took people to the barracks and came out with a nose of ashes, they were arranged to build defenses here.

Although it is a fortification, it does not have a complex structure like a watchtower.

Just block the bridge with bags of sand, so that when the zombies in the woods who are running fast rush out, they can be blocked on the bridge.

The construction of the fortifications has been going well in the past few days, and there is a middle-aged woman on the scene who is responsible for commanding the overall situation.

She was tall, surnamed Wu, and the people in the shelter, including Xu Jingqiu, usually called her Sister Wu.

Sister Wu is in her fifties and used to work in the police system.

Xu Jingqiu had met him a few times, so at the beginning of the establishment of the shelter, he asked Sister Wu to help him deal with all kinds of chores.

Now he can be regarded as a management figure in Xu Jingqiu's shelter.

Xu Jingqiu had no way to go to the scene to direct the construction process of the fortifications, so he could only entrust this matter to Sister Wu.

Sister Wu first looked at her watch, and then at the sky that was gradually darkening.

Then he clapped his hands and shouted to a few people who were working:

"It should be about the same, let's hurry up and get ready to pack up and go back to the camp, come back tomorrow, and get a good night's sleep tonight."

Not all of the dozen or so people working here are young people, most of them are middle-aged.

After all, it's the end of the world, even if you are old, you have to come out to work, otherwise you will be supported by others, and no matter how rich the shelter is, you won't have the ability to do it.

Although there was still a little work to be done, it was already late, and Sister Wu was cautious, so she beckoned everyone to get into the car and prepare to return to the safe shelter.

However, when everyone was packing up one after another, they suddenly heard some movement in the woods behind them.

The woods here are still quite dense, and it is getting late, so it is impossible to see anything moving in the woods for a while.

Sister Wu took two steps forward and squinted her eyes to take a closer look, but soon her eyes were suddenly full of panic and shock.

"Run——!

She shouted.

Soon, a black figure sprang out of the woods.

The speed of this black figure was so fast that the people next to him didn't even react.

The nearest old man was thrown to the ground at once.

At this time, everyone saw the figure, wearing a dark green military uniform, but the military uniform was in tatters, and the traces of being bitten were very obvious.

It's a zombie, but it's much faster than a normal zombie.

After knocking down the old man for the first time, the zombie bit down on the old man's neck.

Then a scream rang out in the woods.

Flocks of frightened birds covered the sky.

At the same time, more and more figures rushed out of the woods.

Those without exception were all zombies in dark green military uniforms.

Sister Wu quickly pulled out the pistol on her waist and shot a few shots at the zombies rushing over.

After all, she had practiced before, and these shots were shot at extremely close distances, and they were all extremely accurate, and every shot could be a headshot.

Although the speed of these zombies is extremely fast, their head is still their Achilles' heel, and after being shot in the head, they immediately fall to the ground without any movement.

And after Sister Wu shot out three times, she immediately rushed towards the nearest car behind her, and the drivers on it were already stupid, Sister Wu directly opened the car door and shouted:

"Hurry up!"

The driver finally reacted, quickly ignited, and stepped on the accelerator as the engine started.

Sister Wu never thought that those zombies would directly bypass the bridge and attack from behind.

You must know that if you want to bypass this bridge from this barracks, you have to walk at least three or four kilometers to the west to get around, do these zombies already have such intelligence?

She was still in a state of panic, but the car started and was probably safe.

As for the other people who stayed in the camp, Sister Wu couldn't care so much.

Most of them were thrown to the ground at the first time, and the rest of them also wanted to drive, but before they could start, they were caught by zombies.

The only one who drove out was Sister Wu's car.

However, Sister Wu had just breathed a sigh of relief, and when she noticed some happiness, she felt that a huge figure suddenly appeared from the woods on the left.

The monster was taller than ordinary zombies, and its speed was quite fast, and it crashed directly into the car that Sister Wu was sitting in.

This impact directly knocked the doors off, and the violent impact also made the steering wheel of the car completely out of control.

After two turns, he broke out of the guardrail and plunged straight into the rushing river below.

The zombies who attacked the bridge, dragging the bodies of wailing survivors, or dead bodies, back into the woods like ghosts.

Soon, in addition to the blood on the ground, and the fortifications that were about to be completed, the whole forest fell into silence again.

…………

Xu Jingqiu was in a conference room, discussing tomorrow's battle plan with several team leaders around him.

The most important thing is to arrange noise devices one by one to lure the zombies in the military camp to the bridge for long-range shooting.

Or use sandbag fortifications and spears to kill the zombies without harm.

However, they were only halfway through the discussion, and someone knocked on the door outside, and without waiting for a response, someone rushed in with a nervous face and said.

"Captain Xu, it seems that something happened, Sister Wu and their side haven't come back until now."

Xu Jingqiu frowned, she looked at the time on her watch, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, and it must be pitch black outside.

I'll be back by six o'clock.

"Did you call?"

"I called, no one answered, we called the mobile phones of several people over there, and they were all able to get through, but no one answered."

The faces of the rest of the managers also became ugly, and one of them said:

"Sister Wu has always been very cautious in doing things, it is impossible not to come back so late, and she will not answer her mobile phone, it is estimated that something has happened."

"Could it be that the Skeleton Gang is causing trouble again?"

"Probably not, the military camp is still far from the Skull State, and we have to walk the road at the entrance of our shelter, even if we don't see it, Sister Wu will have the time to call us to help."

"That's right, that's right, I also think that the Skeleton Gang, just do a little action on the side, and go to the barracks, I think it's a little unrealistic."

"Captain Xu, why don't we send someone to take a look."

Xu Jingqiu quickly shook his head and said:

"It's getting late now, if you go out at this point, you can't be attacked by the enemy, so you can only wait until tomorrow morning to arrange for someone to go over to check."

The other person also nodded, agreeing with Xu Jingqiu's statement, and then asked:

"But tomorrow we have made an appointment to attack the military camp with Brother Lu Cheng, should this action plan be canceled?"

Speaking of which, Xu Jingqiu didn't want to cancel the plan to attack the barracks in his heart.

After all, it was not easy to get Lu Cheng, a powerful ally, but in the current situation, Xu Jingqiu couldn't help but continue to hesitate.

She thought for a moment, then nodded:

"At the moment, I don't know who the enemy is, so I can only cancel it first.

I'll send a message to Lu Cheng later, and everyone will be on guard tonight.

If it hadn't been for the Skeleton Gang's side to attack, it would probably have been someone from outside the city. ”

"Good!"

"Got it."

After a group of people nodded one after another, Xu Jingqiu put away the battle plan that had been arranged.

Let them all go down, rest when they deserve. The heightened security of the heightened security.

Xu Jingqiu, on the other hand, sat on the sofa and sighed.

He covered his face with both hands, and after rubbing his face, he was a little sober, and then he picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to Lu Cheng.

However, Lu Cheng did not reply to the message immediately, of course Xu Jingqiu didn't know that Lu Cheng would go to the pool party again.

Xu Jingqiu put down the phone, glanced at the ceiling, and sighed.

The last days are so hard.

………………

In the camp of Xu Jingqiu's shelter, the people who patrolled all night looked nervous and on full alert.

They didn't know why they were being ordered to get nervous all of a sudden, and they thought it was the Skeletons who had sent someone to attack again.

However, in the second half of the night, some news came out, saying that the dozen or so people who went to build the fortifications of Sister Wu did not come back last night.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong in the evening, and it was early the next morning.

The survivors, who had waited all night and did not wait for their families to return, came out to inquire about the situation.

And more and more news has spread.

At this time, most people reacted that more than a dozen people who went out to build the company yesterday, including Sister Wu, did not return to the base overnight, I am afraid that it is more than lucky.

Seeing that everyone in the base was panicking, Xu Jingqiu also felt a headache.

She really wanted to calm everyone's panic and nervousness, but there was nothing particularly good about it.

However, Sister Wu's side must not ignore the question, and still arrange for someone to go over to check what happened.

Just as he had already prepared to go to the barracks today, Xu Jingqiu immediately asked his men to assemble the team, prepare the vehicles, and distribute the weapons and equipment.

Xu Jingqiu also prepared all the weapons and equipment and pinned them to the gun bag, went out to get into the car, and went to the bridge with a group of people to see the situation.

Although he knew that he rushed to the bridge like this, and there were people in ambush on the other side, Xu Jingqiu had no other way, and he couldn't leave Sister Wu's group of people alone at the moment.

It can only be said that I should be as careful as possible, and as for going to the military camp with Lu Cheng, I can only put it back.

However, thinking of the danger of going out this time, Xu Jingqiu always had a bad premonition.

Xu Jingqiu came to the outside of the base with a heavy heart, and was about to get into the car with his subordinates to check on the bridge, but suddenly saw a strange car driving from the direction of the city.

The front of the huge Land Rover is inlaid with a thick layer of steel plates, and there are metal spikes against the front of the car, which looks very bluffing.

The windshield is also tightly wrapped in steel plates, revealing only the driver's view window.

It was a heavily armed Land Rover.

And the Land Rover is followed by a van.

The two cars quickly drove up to the base and the door to the Land Rover's driver's seat opened.

Then I saw Lu Cheng, who was carrying a machete and a bow and crossbow, and a Glock pistol at his waist, which could be said to be fully armed, and stepped out of the Land Rover.

Xu Jingqiu was feeling strange, could it be that Lu Cheng didn't see the message he sent him?

I heard Lu Chengchong shouting here.

"Officer Xu, nothing happened, right? After receiving your message, I was not at ease, so I immediately came over to take a look. ”

Xu Jingqiu wanted to say something, but the words were blocked when they reached the edge of his throat.

It took Xu Jingqiu a long time to react, but the feeling of relief came to his heart, and he finally showed a little smile.

The haze in the sky seems to have dispelled a lot.
