Seeing that the two were about to go to the toilet together, one of the doctors in gowns slowly asked, "Do you guys poop together?"
Xia Chi's feet stuck to the ground, and he looked at Baili Xin with a stiff face.
Baili Xin nodded expressionlessly: "Yes, we have a good relationship."
Xia Chi nodded: "Wrong, we have to shout 'one, three, come on' to each other when we take a shit."
Baili Xin's eyes twitched: "..."
There is no need to be so detailed and specific, it would be a little less heavy. Good boy, why are you still so honest
The four men in gowns looked at each other.
Finally, a doctor in a gown said with a sigh: "Is this youth? It reminds me of my youth. I miss it so much."
"You guys need to work harder."
Xia Chi: “???”
Baili Xin: “???”
Is there something wrong with you
Facing the encouraging looks from the four men in gowns, Xia Chi and Baili Xin gritted their teeth and walked into the toilet.
Xia Chi and Baili Xin walked around the toilet and found a ventilation duct just above their heads at the innermost part. Xia Chi looked at Baili Xin quietly, and the two of them walked to the innermost part tacitly.
After locking the toilet door, Baili Xin closed his eyes and opened his densely packed red grid.
Because the color of the crystal core in his mind had been upgraded to red, the red threads he was able to disperse also increased from one hundred at the beginning to tens of thousands covering the entire sky.
Although the supernatural energy inside cannot be detected from outside the laboratory, once inside, there is basically no obstacle to using it.
As the red silk thread gushed out like a well, the entire picture of this huge laboratory gradually appeared in Baili Xin's mind.
The place they just saw was just the tip of the iceberg. There was an even larger space within their field of vision.
Several of the threads came to Dr. Sand and Dr. Adolf.
Dr. Sang used some unknown method to hide his colorful supernatural powers and looked different from ordinary people.
There was a faint light flashing on Dr. Adolf's body beside Dr. Sang. The light was very weak. If you didn't look carefully, you would even ignore it. It was the weakest supernatural energy he had ever seen.
Dr. Sang was chatting with Dr. Adolf about various obscure professional topics. Suddenly, he raised his eyes without warning, and his teasing eyes met a certain "sight".
The scene was like the first time the two met.
It was just that when we first met, there was only coldness in that person's eyes, but it was different now.
Baili Xin was in a trance for a moment, and saw Dr. Sang raise his hand and gently grab in the air. Those red lines that should have been invisible were easily "caught" in the man's hand.
The rough fingertips seem to be resting on the palm of the hand, but they are actually fiddling with the red line in the palm of the hand that no one else can see.
These red lines are the Bailisin nerves, and each one is connected to the Bailisin brain.
Despite the body's obstruction, the throbbing and caressing sensations are transmitted to the brain without any hindrance.
A strong electric current suddenly flashed through Baili Xin's brain. In a trance, it seemed as if the man was behind him, his fingers wantonly fiddling with his lines.
Baili Xinzhong leaned against the wall and blushed. The red thread held in the man's hand swung several times as if she was angry.
It looks unimpressive and is of no use in reality.
Seeing the young man swinging his hair almost like a spoiled child, a smile flashed in the man's eyes.
"Dr. Sang, what are you laughing at?"
Dr. Adolf turned his head to look at the man's sudden relaxed expression and asked out of curiosity.
"What?" Dr. Sang circled his index finger in the air and wrapped the soft red thread around his fingertips. "I'm a little happy to think that Ma can solve a difficult problem."
Dr. Adolf smiled kindly and nodded in agreement: "No, there are bound to be detours on the road to science. This is unavoidable. Only through continuous trial and error can we learn lessons and obtain the true meaning of science."
"Really? Adolf seems to have a deep understanding of the truth of science," Dr. Sang's dark eyes fell on the old man's wrinkles, "It seems that Dr. Adolf must be very experienced in trial and error. What have you tried and failed before?"
Dr. Adolf was stunned. He didn't know why, but the man's deep black pupils looked at him. They were hollow and sharp, as if they could penetrate his body and see through his secrets.
His eyes wandered, and he looked away evasively. "They were just some minor mistakes. There's no point in talking about them. They are all in the past. Let's continue with today's research."
Dr. Sang looked away meaningfully, "Okay."
Baili Xin tried to retract the red line, and no longer cared about the dog man's movements, and began to observe the laboratory as quickly as possible.
Soon, he noticed something was wrong.
According to Ark, there are no zombies on the Ark in order to prevent zombies from entering the Ark and turning it into a breeding ground for the zombie virus.
He scanned hundreds of zombie spots in this laboratory.
Among them, there was a particularly bright spot that caught his attention.
The ball of energy was huge, a little bigger than the red crystal core zombie he killed last time in the abandoned city.
The size is about the size of a child.
However, it is very large in size and very light in color, almost transparent.
Baili Xin marked the locations of these points on the map in his mind and pulled back all the red lines.
Dr. Sang felt the red line disappear, and a moment of loss passed by, until the end of the red line seemed to wrap around the man's fingertips, and the man's expression suddenly improved.
My wife was actively sticking to me just now.
Happyjpg.
Adolf: “…”
Could this Dr. Sang be in menopause? Sometimes he looks cold and sullen, and sometimes he smiles happily.
It's just like he has some serious mental illness. Look at this poor kid, what he has become after being tortured.
Baili Xin slowly opened his eyes from the darkness and met Xia Chi's curious gaze.
Xia Chi: "Brother, what did you see just now? Your face is all red."
Baili Xin licked the slightly dry corners of his lips and coughed lightly: "What, it's a bit hot here."
He pointed to the ventilation duct above his head and changed the subject before Xia Chi could spout off another golden sentence. "Well, I just saw a place. I'll go back. You help cover here. If I'm not back in ten minutes, you go find Dr. Sang and try to buy time for me."
Xia Chi, who was just slightly curious, immediately became serious: "Okay, brother, you go, leave this to me, don't worry."
Baili Xin choked: "… "
I was a little panicked because I gave it to you, okay? !
The ventilation duct was a bit high. Baili Xin pointed at Xia Chi's shoulders and the wall, easily pried open the filter, and got into the dark passage.
He first identified the direction inside, and after determining the destination, he began to move towards there quietly.
He crawled very quickly, and in just a few minutes they arrived at a huge laboratory.
Through the fine filter, he saw "people" with tubes inserted into their bodies and light green liquid filling the containers. Some of them had their eyes closed, looking like they were dead, or just sleeping.
Among these containers, he also found the last three missing players.
Because the ventilation duct had a limited viewing angle, he vaguely saw something different from the other glass jars through the edge of the duct. Because it was in the blind spot, he couldn't see what it was.
He carefully observed the surroundings. This should be the storage area, but in the corner, there was a camera at intervals.
He calculated the trajectory of the camera and found that there was a blind spot.
Baili Xin thought for two seconds, and tapped s419 in his mind: Here comes your forte.
s419: What's wrong, host
Baili Xin: Fix the camera, I want to go down.
s419: This is easy. Leave it to me, host.
Ding! nbsp; Ding! Data interference is successful, and the interference time is 5 minutes.
My dear host, you only have five minutes. My abilities are limited here and I cannot interfere for too long.
Baili Xin gently opened the filter and thanked: Five minutes is very good, thank you, s419.
As he said this, he jumped from the vent and landed on the ground quietly.
The entire view of the room was finally presented to Baili Xin.
The wires extending from these glass tanks are densely wrapped around the ceiling and extend to a giant computer.
In a place he couldn't see just now, a display screen that occupied the entire wall was flashing a faint blue light.
The display screen was divided into several parts. One showed frequency fluctuations, one showed groups of data that he could not understand for the time being, and one showed a repeating picture.
The slightly hunched zombies merged with normal humans to create a new "human being".
s419 A voice sounded in my mind: This shows that it is possible that people with special abilities are the combination of zombies and humans
Baili Xin stared at the screen for a while and then looked away: The ability is very high, otherwise how to explain the existence of crystal cores in the minds of psychics
s419: It seems that those with special abilities don’t even know that they have crystal cores in their bodies.
The Ark executives must have concealed this on purpose.
Tsk tsk, you have the nerve to say that. What would happen if humans knew that the so-called "new human" heroes were actually zombies
Baili Xin: You said they all have the ability, maybe there are other reasons.
s419: What’s the reason
Baili Xin: I have been speculating on the relationship between superpowers and zombies since the first day I knew there was a crystal core in my brain. Do you remember what Sally said, that all newborns have superpowers, and that new babies will be taken away for testing, and if they are confirmed to have superpowers, they will be raised together, and if they have superpowers, they will be returned to humans.
I wonder if this test is just a cover? In fact, they just collect the babies together and select the suitable ones for crystal nucleus transplantation.
s419: Host, your speculation is very reasonable.
Although the scientific research instruments and equipment are very similar, the structure of this laboratory is very similar to that of Laboratory No. 13.
In Laboratory 13, they have already cultivated the crystal nucleus. The next step after cultivating the crystal nucleus, according to logical reasoning, should be the clinical stage.
It seems that if that accident had happened, they would have transplanted the crystal core to a matching human being, thus creating the so-called "superpower".
Baili Xin looked around and his eyes fell on a huge metal pillar next to him.
From this angle, you can only see a tall metal pillar, but judging from the threads extending from the edge, there should be "people" stored on the other side of the metal pillar.
Baili Xin moved towards that place, and said as he walked: If the superpower is a "new human" with a zombie crystal core, then the crystal core should be the essence of the zombie virus. If humans can be infected, wouldn't they be infected during the transplant? How can they be infected again after being bitten
s419: Yes, why
Baili Xin: With only one ability, "superpowers" are still imperfect. Although they resisted the crystal core pollution in the early stage, they are internally unstable.
I roughly understand why the transplant has to be done during infancy. The activity of newborn baby cells is the strongest and they can naturally accept things from the outside world. Similarly, babies have very strong vitality.
Fusion at birth can reduce rejection reactions to a minimum. This should be the final conclusion reached in long-term testing.
s419 wrinkled his nose: "Master Host, I have a question when you say that. It seems that the life span of people with special abilities is not long. However, due to the apocalypse, the life span of a large area of people is not long, so it has not attracted human attention."
s419: So Dr. Adolf really participated in biological testing on humans fifty years ago? The research was completed and is still ongoing. And it has been completely completed.
While the two were talking, Baili Xin had already turned around the metal pillar.
The scene hidden behind the metal pillar was finally revealed.
The moment he saw clearly what was inside, Baili Xin's pupils shrank slightly, and two words flashed through his mind: Good.
A figure is floating in the giant fiberglass that is half metal and half glass.
Judging from the body shape, it should be "female".
She had a fit body, about two meters and five centimeters tall, with long legs and arms, and fair and tight skin. There was not a trace of fat on her body, and her body was so perfect that even Baili Xin was amazed.
This should be a female zombie. Unlike other decayed-looking zombies, although this zombie has pale skin, her whole body exudes health and strength.
Although her eyes were closed, her facial features were beautiful and delicate. Her long, thick hair like seaweed spread freely in the water, like a gorgeous and enchanting pure peony flower.
The surface of the female zombie is covered with a layer of fine and dense scales. These scales neatly cover the zombie's body, hiding all the zombie's secrets, like a beautiful tights.
Outside the pure scales, there are strange black lines wrapped around the body, forming a strange totem.
Weird and seductive.
s419: Wow, what a zombie.
Could this be the zombie queen
Baili Xin responded by just taking a step forward.
Suddenly, as if sensing someone coming, the female zombie suddenly opened her eyes, and a pair of beautiful golden pupils stared straight into Baili Xin's eyes, meeting his eyes.
The female zombie looked down at Baili Xin for two seconds. Suddenly, her hair slid in the water in a beautiful arc, and the female zombie instantly moved in front of Baili Xin. Her speed was so fast that Baili Xin only caught a glimpse of her afterimage.
There were expected screams and also wild roars.
The female zombie stretched out her arms which were full of tubes, pressed her two arms against the glass wall, and looked at the stranger she had never seen before with curiosity.
When the female zombie was looking at Baili Xin, Baili Xin was also looking at it.
After a moment, the female zombie clenched her fists, then extended her index finger and drew a symbol on the wall of the pool.
Baili Xin looked at the symbol, then looked at the female zombie, feeling a little confused.
s419: What is that
Baili Xin frowned and shook his head: I don’t know, it looks like a triangle, but it’s not quite the same, I don’t know what it means.
As if she could see Baili Xin's confusion, the female zombie withdrew her hand in disappointment and swam a circle in the water.
Baili Xin tentatively released the red line, trying to see if he could establish a mental connection with the female zombie, but the moment the red line connected with the huge light, the light bounced the red line away.
The female zombie frowned and looked down at Baili Xin, looking like she was in a bad mood.
Baili Xin had no choice but to use the most primitive method. He asked with a pen and a picture: "Are you the queen of zombies?"
The female zombie was stunned for a moment, then began to wander around again.
She obviously understood, but she just refused to respond to Baili Xin.
Baili Xin continued to ask: "If you are, the Zombie King has been looking for you."
This sentence made the female zombie pause even longer. She swam back to Baili Xin and pointed her aggressive and gorgeous facial features at him. "Zombie King? I don't want to see him."
This time it was Baili Xin who was stunned. This was the first time he heard a zombie speak in a normal voice other than Dr. Sang. He paused for two seconds and said, "Are you really the zombie queen?"
The female zombie seemed to hate this title very much. She frowned and said, "The Zombie King did call me that, but I don't admit it and I don't like this name."
Seeing that the female zombie was about to continue the conversation, Baili Xin struck while the iron was hot: "Why are you here?"
Female zombie: "Why should I tell you? I don't know you well."
Baili Xin pursed her lips.
It seems like they are not very familiar with each other.
Female zombie: "But since you are so pretty, I can tell you."
"I was captured by the superpowers, but I was captured by them to hide from the Zombie King. It recognized me as its queen and wanted me to bear its children."
"I can't sneak out and get caught by humans by accident."
As she was talking, the female zombie glued her eyes to Baili Xin's face: "Little brother, what's your name? You are so handsome. Do you have a partner? Do you want to follow me? I love you."
Baili Xin: “?”
This female zombie looks like she has some serious illness.
Baili Xin coughed lightly and said, "You were imprisoned here. What tests did they use on you? What's your name?"
The pattern of this zombie is very similar to the zombie pattern in the torn photo. Could it be the mother embryo
Female zombie: "I'm not sure what the test is. Every time I'm anesthetized, I wake up here again."
"The Zombie King can enter any place, except the Ark. Although these people are annoying sometimes and use high voltage electricity to shock me, it is better than using me as a production tool."
"Alas, if the Zombie King was a little better looking, our two children might be able to occupy Blue Planet. The problem is that he is too ugly. I don't think he is good enough."
The female zombie looked at Baili Xin and said, "If he had half of your looks, no, even one-tenth of your looks, it would be fine."
Baili Xin: “.”
A zombie version of the fugitive
____________________________________________
Studio.
This female zombie is so funny, hahahaha, God Xin has already crossed the species. God Xin is so pretty!
What's going on? I actually think that a female zombie is so cruel. In order to escape marriage, he is willing to be imprisoned and raped by a female zombie. Wow, the character setting is so attractive.
Why am I also attracted by this female zombie? Hey, does she look a bit weird
I think the boss needs to be more careful, because his little canary is being targeted by the female zombie boss.
God Xin: Have you ever seen a blue star canary that can be pierced through with one punch
Is love in the zombie world so bloody? There is also running away from marriage? It's really like a knife stabbing my butt. It opened my eyes.
Hahahaha, I've seen it all.
____________________________________________
Baili Xin: "Have you been here for a long time?"
Female zombie: "I don't know, I have a sense of time. I just remember that I was originally in an underground laboratory, and then there was chaos in the laboratory, and I was transferred here."
There was chaos and transfer, could it be Laboratory 13
Baili Xin wanted to ask for more details, but the female zombie suddenly poked her head out into the distance and said, "You should leave. Someone is coming this way."
At the same time, Xia Chi's private chat also rang.
Xia Chi: Brother, when will you come back? I can’t hold on any longer!
Xia Chi: Brother, help me, I can’t take it anymore!
Baili Xin looked at Xia Chi's private chat dialog box, then looked at the footsteps that were slowly approaching in the distance. He felt a little regretful and had many questions that needed answers. He shuttled through the laboratory at the fastest speed, jumped up quickly and got into the ventilation duct above his head.
Seeing Baili Xin's agile and neat figure, the female zombie couldn't help but whistle.
Baili Xin looked at the female zombie who was teasing him with complicated eyes, and at the last moment before those people walked in, he quietly closed the ventilation filter.
He did not leave immediately, but wanted to take a look; those people were all wearing thick protective clothing, and they walked straight to the female zombie after arriving.
One of them looked at the female zombie and quickly retracted his gaze in fear.
Because they were in the blind spot, Baili Xin couldn't see their movements and could only hear their conversations.
—"Why did you wake up? I was wondering why you suddenly screamed. Increase the dose of the anesthetic."
— "Okay, Jia Shao?"
— "Add another 100 units."
— "Add this much? Won't it die? Isn't it too heavy?"
—"You need to wake up so that it won't die, okay? It's the zombie king who's obsessed with the zombie queen. Quickly inject her with anesthesia and then report to the front. The zombie tide is coming."
—"I never thought that the Zombie Queen had such a strong appeal. Every time she made a little noise, she could summon the zombies. No wonder the Zombie King liked her. She's pretty."
—"All pretty roses have thorns. Don't have any messy thoughts. Even though she stays in there for a long time, if she escapes, our entire Ark will be finished."
— "Hiss, I know, I know, I will be careful."
—"Um, why is she staring at us? Can she understand what we are saying?"
—"You probably don't understand. She has been talking since we caught her. That look in her eyes wasn't one of curiosity. It was the look of a wild animal seeing its prey. Do you understand? She was planning to eat us!"
—“I see, that’s how it is. Thank you for reminding me.”
There was a rumbling sound of an instrument starting up, and the stomping footsteps of several testers were heard again.
Soon, they were out of Baili Xin's sight.
Several people in protective suits stood in front of the camera.
The conversation started again.
— "The data from this test body is not right. The threshold suddenly increased."
— "Alas, this is another test subject. I have no choice but to deal with it."
As he was talking, a man in protective clothing walked up to the glass jar, picked up a marker and drew a big red cross on it.
Baili Xin looked at the person in the glass jar, and it was a toy sleeping inside.
Xia Chi's private chat notification sounded again. When Baili Xin was about to click it, he suddenly saw a man in protective clothing slowly raising his head...
In the laboratory, a man in protective suit looked up at the vent.
Seeing this, the companion next to him looked up and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
The man slowly retracted his gaze, "Oh, yes, I think the ventilation filter seems a little dirty, should I clean it?"
Another person: "It seems a bit dirty. We'll clean it up tomorrow. Well, you still have time to look at the ventilation filter. Hurry up and finish the record. We still have to announce the zombie craze."
"I know, I know. Hurry up, hurry up."
In the dark ventilation duct, Baili Xin poked his head out from between his arms and glanced around cautiously.
________________________________________
In the toilet, the sound of a man in a gown came from outside.
"Are you guys OK?"
"It's been almost ten minutes. Why is it taking so long?"
"Do you want us to go in and help you?"
Xia Chi's forehead was already covered with sweat. He shouted at the outside with a hoarse voice: "No, no need to come in to help! He's almost out!"
Xia Chi's face flushed red as he shouted, "Brother, come on! I'll count one, three, and we'll work together! The horse will come out!"
"one three!"
"come on!"
"Great, do it again!"
A black shadow quietly descended from overhead and stood steadily in front of Xia Chi.
The moment he saw Baili Xin, Xia Chi suddenly shouted in surprise: "Ah!"
Then the man in the gown said from outside: "What are you calling? What happened?"
Under Baili Xin's subtle gaze, Xia Chi blushed and said, "It came out all of a sudden. I was so happy that I screamed."
Coat: "Ah, that's great, please come out quickly, it's taking too long, we still need to take you back to see Dr. Adolf."
Baili Xin jumped up quickly and buckled the ventilation filter. After landing steadily, he patted Xia Chi's shoulder heavily.
Good brother, I’m sorry for having wronged you.
Xia Chi wanted to cry.
After all, I took the responsibility.
A minute later, the sound of the toilet flushing was heard and two people walked out together.
The man in the gown looked at the two of them seriously and worriedly.
The man in the gown said, "Ah, I wasn't like this when I was young. Young people, you still need to pay attention to your health. People who know you know that you are constipated, but those who don't know would think that you two grown men are hiding in the toilet to give birth to a child."
"When you said it just now, I was afraid that you two would take the baby out."
He paused, then cautiously poked his head inside: "You guys are really not giving birth in there, are you?"
Xia Chi: “…”
You just gave birth to a baby!
________________________________________
Studio.
Xia Chi: I'm so angry.
Look how angry our Xia Chi is.
It's so funny, "Giving Birth", Brother Xia Chi is so imposing.
Xia Chi even wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
In the end, Xia Chi took the responsibility silently.
Through this incident, I understood a truth.
What's the reason
No matter how high your luck is, you will kneel down when you meet the God Xin.
He is super lucky, he still has to kneel down to pull his hair.
I strongly suggest that baby Xia Chi should not get close to God Xin next time, hahahaha.
If you get close to the god Xin, you may not necessarily become brilliant, but you will definitely become unhappy.
Supplement: This sentence only applies to Xia Chi.
Xia Chi: To grab the bamboo shoots.
________________________________________
Seeing Baili Xin and Xia Chi coming back, Dr. Sang no longer hesitated and said goodbye to Adolf and left.
When they walked out from underground, the sun had already set and the moon had risen above their heads.
Because of the adventure he had in the dormitory, it seemed extremely reasonable for Dr. Sang to follow Baili Xin back to the dormitory.
Not only did the people around not suspect anything, they also looked very excited.
It's like some gossip I haven't seen in eight hundred years.
For people living in the doomsday world, there are very few entertainment options.
Half an hour later, the other two groups also returned to the dormitory one after another.
Going to prison, he was in a mess; going to another place, he was covered in blood and a mess.
Su Lianyi, who was playing with the Song Yuan Tiannv, straightened her clothes and briefly talked about the results of their investigation today.
"It's not easy to get into the prison, but thanks to the letter of introduction written by Dr. Sang, we used the excuse of interrogating Billy and successfully entered the prison."
The girl's face turned pale, Baili Xin took out the nutrient solution from the drawer and handed it to her. Su Lianyi took it and drank it in one gulp. Only after her face turned pale did she say "thank you" belatedly.
Baili Xin: "You're welcome. Keep talking."
Su Lianyi: "Okay, we found a chance to get out and investigated in the prison."
"There are torture cells inside, which are pretty cruel anyway. But this is their own business. I am still a saint enough to worry about NPCs I don't know."
"But when we were investigating, we found that many prisoners, especially those on death row, had disappeared without a clear reason."
"The room that was supposed to hold the death row inmates was occupied, and judging by the number of spider webs inside, it must have been occupied a long time ago."
"Other than that, everything is normal. Nothing special."
"It's just that the guards were very cautious, as if they were afraid that we would do something. They drove us away after we finished our questioning."
Baili Xin: "What's wrong with you? It looks like you had a fight with someone."
Su Lianyi: "Well, who else could it be? That Billy. That bastard refused to repent. He thought I looked good and wanted to do something to him. I was so angry that I just confronted him and almost beat him to death."
"The guards were so considerate to me that they took the door away. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had a chance to act alone."
"It seems that the guards also particularly hate scum like Billy."
Xia Chi's eyes widened: "Billy is already like that, but he still wants that... Is he sick?"
Su Lianyi sneered: "Some people always want to prove their dominance through that kind of entry to satisfy their desire for status. I said I was an ant. The truly powerful people always win by strength, not violence."
"For example, our president never uses violence, but we all admire him."
The sudden mention of Song Yuantian also aroused Baili Xin's curiosity: "How does he handle things?"
Su Lianyi: "Our president always wins people over with virtue, and she is not incompetent in fighting. If a fight really comes, she can beat others."
"I have seen people as calm as our president. He is the best president I have ever seen."
calm at heart
Conquer people with virtue
Baili Xin thought of how Song Yuantian had scolded him when they met: "..."
Do we know the same person
Song Yuantian, what kind of magic potion did you feed your people
Li Cancan: "Our president is the best president, okay? He is a kind-hearted Bodhisattva."
Baili Xin: “?”
What the hell is "Bodhisattva"? And why are you suddenly dragging me into this
There's no need to be so desperate to win.
Dr. Sang glanced at everyone thoughtfully, and his calm eyes gradually became strange.
Before things got weirder, Baili Xin decisively changed the subject: "Li Cancan, what did you post?"
Li Cancan's face suddenly straightened when he heard this, "We found the place according to the route."
"God Xin, there is a grave over there."
"There are various bodies scattered inside, some human, and some that look like zombies."
