— "So, you mean these... oh, these zombies were all dealt with by Xiao Hai? Is he a person with voice abilities?"

Ji Yao looked at the bloody scene. There were a few scattered zombies with multiple heads in Gongsun Jing's description, many different-faced zombie heads with noses, eyes and mouths crowded on one face, and other zombies—including the one that couldn't move. The imaginary fifty alien worm zombies—all were cut into unequal pieces of flesh amidst Meng Hanghai's screams.

Ji Yao has vomited several times, and now he is weakly supporting Liu Zhan, unable to believe how such a terrifying creature exists in this world.

Liu Zhan shook his head, pointed to Bluetooth and said, "Brother Hou said that the child couldn't absorb the energy of the red crystal, so it can be seen that he is not a person with voice abilities."

As for what kind of power he has and when he had it, they don't know anything at the moment.

Meng Hanghai, who was already in a coma, couldn't give them an answer—yes, I don't know if the power burst out too suddenly or the energy of the power was exhausted. After screaming, he fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

Li Xuanyuan was the first to rush back, when Qiao Daye was harvesting zombie crystal cores here. It's not that he doesn't worry about Meng Hanghai's situation, but that if the zombie crystal core is not dug away, some zombies that are not dead can still use supernatural attacks. Seeing that Li Xuanyuan arrived, he didn't say a word, so he handed over the matter of the crystal nucleus to him, and went back to see Meng Hanghai himself.

Hou Ying and Su Fenghe came back afterward, both of them were terrified. Hou Ying only came over hastily for a look, and after understanding what happened, she went to see the situation of Meng Hanghai and Wang Hehe. After that, it was Jiang Tao's team who did not notice anything unusual and returned as scheduled after collecting the materials from the third and fourth districts.

Afterwards, Li Xuanyuan checked the safety situation of the steel plant again, and Jiang Tao was ordered to go to the first district to bring back the missing materials. Originally, Jiang Tao planned to leave directly with his team, but Ji Yao had already vomited out the overnight meal and his face turned pale. Liu Zhan was very curious about the reason for the mutation of the zombies and wanted to find out, so he and Su Fenghe, who had recovered from his fright, went together.

In the evening, Hou Ying didn't make dinner, and they ate some compressed biscuits, and they were not in a hurry to pack up the supplies they brought back today. Surrounded by Meng Hanghai who was still unconscious, they were silent for a while.

After a long while, Gongsun Jing said: "Xiaohai's physical function is not abnormal, his current state is somewhat similar to that of Azhan when he was in a coma, but... I vaguely feel that his current situation is more like the evolution of supernatural powers, rather than Inspire supernatural powers."

The implication is that Meng Hanghai has always had supernatural powers, but he doesn't know whether he knows it.

Hou Ying looked at the pale-faced Meng Hanghai, and couldn't bear to say: "As long as he is fine, we can wait for him to wake up to talk about other problems."

That's all for now.

Seeing that several people stopped the topic again, Liu Zhan said in a timely manner: "Then let's talk about the situation of this mutant zombie now. We used to think that zombies would not attack each other before they were killed by headshots." eating, but now this conclusion is obviously overturned."

"There are two things that can be confirmed from these mutated zombies. One is that the crystal nuclei have the same color, and high-level zombies can fuse with low-level zombies. I suspect that high-level zombies can fuse with the three-level metal ability zombie and the fourth-level sound zombie. Command and control low-level zombies. Judging from the example of mutated zombies, this guess should be true. Another point is that five-element supernatural zombies have the largest proportion in the zombie group, and no matter how large the base is, they can be fused by high-level zombies. Zombies with other supernatural abilities There is no such great compatibility."

They seized 64 zombie crystal nuclei from the mutated zombies, among which there was a third-level crystal nucleus among the fifty five-element transparent crystals, and the rest were all second-level fusion crystal nuclei.

If Qiao Daye hadn't opened the warehouse door this time, they had reason to believe that in time, the forty-nine second-level crystal nuclei originally fused from dozens of first-level five-element supernatural zombies would gradually be replaced by the third-level Swallowed by the crystal nucleus, it is hard to say that a fourth-level zombie will not be raised by then.

Everyone else looked at Liu Zhan with [You are awesome] eyes.

Even Hou Ying didn't have the time to think about the mutated zombie attack until now, but Liu Zhan had already analyzed it logically, and there was undisguised excitement in his expression.

The creepy Ji Yao saw that he was still laughing, and continued to say unhurriedly: "I still have a little guess. It has been a little over a month since the end of the world, and the zombies in the open place outside have not undergone such a mutation. The zombies trapped in the warehouse have this kind of fusion. I think the reason for this difference is because of energy. Being locked in the warehouse, they lose some kind of energy source that can be supplied to them outside, so they can only use it from Absorb from each other. It is worth noting that this energy source can be absorbed by ordinary zombies, and ordinary zombies are not completely devoid of energy, otherwise, the supernatural zombies in the warehouse would not have swallowed them."

Ji Yao, who vomited the most, heard his analysis and remembered those mutated zombie faces full of nostrils, eyes, and mouths, and his face turned green. He was almost forced out of intensive phobia, and he complained weakly: "Azhan, can you stop talking? I promise that I will never lock zombies together in the future, please stop talking."

Liu Zhanhu said with a straight face: "Do you think this issue is not important? You are wrong. If my guess is correct, the zombies scattered outside can pass through stably without the supplement of human flesh and zombie bodies and crystal nuclei." If some kind of channel obtains energy to meet their own needs, then we must find out the source of this energy! Is it in the air or somewhere else? Can we also use this natural energy body? Or maybe , Find out this source and find a way to kill the zombies and end the end of the world?!"

Everyone was in awe, and when Liu Zhan made an impassioned statement, Wang Hehe whispered, "You were born to our dean." The same research madman.

After hearing that, Hou Ying patted Wang Hehe's head in a funny way, and then said to Liu Zhan: "At present, we don't have the conditions to study this situation. Let's talk about it when it stabilizes. I will also try to sort out the energy content of the fusion crystal nucleus later."

Liu Zhan nodded again and again, but couldn't sit still and got up to compile his findings into a report.

Hou Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and when she saw him leave, she took advantage of the opportunity and said to the others: "Then let's leave today."

He looked at Qiao Daye, who was very dejected with his head down, and said with a smile: "Second brother, Gongsun has worked hard today, and so have you, Xiaohe. I will watch over Xiaohai, you three should go to rest, and adjust yourself quickly." To the best condition. Brother Tao, Xuanyuan, we will leave here on time tomorrow according to the original plan, thank you and old Su Jiyao for cleaning up the car together."

As for Liu Zhan, if he spends a while on his research, he will definitely not be able to recover, so let him go.

At dawn the next day, two heavy container trucks full of supplies rumbled away into the distance. What they didn't know was that a few days after they left, a team of supernatural beings collected all the things that could be used in the industrial park, and discovered the existence of a supernatural team that could wipe out the zombies in the entire industrial park. , They immediately reported the situation to the senior management of Yecheng after they went back.

After leaving the industrial park, Hou Ying and his party drove all the way to the first stop mark.

After settling down at the stop, Li Xuanyuan led the team back to clean up the group of zombies on the road when they came. Those zombies with hearing and speed abilities that followed the heavy truck bore the brunt.

At the first stop, they spent three days cleaning up the supernatural zombies on this section of the road, which was nearly double the original plan of five days. This is mainly due to Li Xuanyuan repeating his old trick of using zombie crystal cores as bait to trap and kill zombies with the same attributes and abilities.

Originally, Hou Ying did not approve of such a risky approach. Who knows how many zombies with the same attributes and abilities will be attracted? Who can guarantee that none of these supernatural zombies has a supernatural power level higher than them? However, after Li Xuanyuan's investigation on the first morning and found that there were no supernatural zombies that made him feel threatened, this method was reluctantly adopted, and after a hundred trials, it failed!

Here, they also discovered a serious problem, that is, livestock and poultry will be infected by zombie virus and become zombies. Moreover, the pet poultry of these cats, dogs, chickens and ducks still retains pre-apocalyptic characteristics. Wang Hehe was almost bitten by a zombie dog guarding a residential building, and those chickens and ducks that seemed to be peaceful in the chicken coop were killed by the greedy Qiao Daye. After waiting for someone to approach, he also launched a fierce attack.

Although no abilities have been found in domestic animals for the time being, these things are much more difficult to deal with than ordinary zombies.

After clearing up the threat, they immediately began to collect supplies in this section of the town. Unlike industrial bases like industrial parks, in residential areas, they have more supplies available. The most surprising thing is the staple food such as rice. They have collected tons of rice and a lot of seasoning supplies from every household. As for fruits, vegetables and meat, after this period of time, even if there is a refrigerator to keep them fresh, they have already become moldy and rotten.

Another gratifying bonus is solar panels! The use of solar energy is very popular here, and almost everyone with better conditions will buy one.

That's cheap for them!

Although household generators consume less fuel, they can't stand the loud noise at night, which will always attract some auditory zombies or other supernatural zombies. Although they are not opponents, it is really not a solution to stop at night . Replacing the solar panels can not only reduce the workload of the night watchman but also reduce many risk factors.

However, it is impossible to take all these solar panels away and they also take up space, so they took ten solar panels according to the number of people, and put them on the top of the second heavy-duty truck to charge them.

Once Hou Ying kept watch in the middle of the night the night before, and when she woke up at noon and was going down the ladder, one of her eyes was accidentally flashed by the sun panel, and the other stepped on the air and slipped down two steps. Thanks to the repair ability of the supernatural being, his cut palm quickly recovered, but it was a big loss of face.

They set off again and arrived at the second stop step by step.

At this stop, they are faced with the population of a county-level township. The size of this township is not small, and they have set up three stops here. This one is in a small village with an open terrain, and the zombies must be cleaned up before the car can stop.

As they kept moving forward, collecting materials and accumulating crystal nuclei, they discovered that the proportion of human survivors was really too small. If you hadn't witnessed it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that there was not a single survivor in a place with a population of one or two million people.

Moreover, most of the zombies outside are still at the first level, the number of second-level zombies is very small, and the third-level zombies have never been seen. They brainstormed the reason, and after in-depth analysis by Hou Ying and Liu Zhan, they suddenly realized that maybe it was because they drove all the way from the Jianghai service area to kill zombies, but they didn't take out the crystal nucleus, which caused the serious leakage of supernatural energy in that place. That's why the proportion of secondary zombies in that area is larger than that outside.

It's just bad luck. They clearly understood that if it wasn't for the metal zombie and the accident that they were stranded in the service area, they would not have discovered the magical effect of the crystal nucleus because they relied on the firepower of guns all the way forward, and it was even more impossible for them to find the magical effect of the crystal nucleus in such a short period of time. Upgrade to the current ability level within a certain period of time.

The level of zombies is too low, let them pass all the way until the fifth stop.

The accumulation of more and more first-level crystal nuclei is completely unable to meet the power needs of Li Xuanyuan and others. Their powers are difficult to advance, which makes people anxious. While everyone was struggling to find the second and third level zombies, Hou Ying made a crazy suggestion.

—Feed zombies with a first-level crystal nucleus to obtain a second-level crystal nucleus.
