End of Century

Chapter 80: Zombies appear

Views:

The appearance of the zombie worms dealt a serious blow to the Yellow River base.

Those zombie insects are very small, one size smaller than the caterpillars before the end of the world, and they are completely transparent, so they can't find their whereabouts in the snow without looking carefully. The Yellow River Base did an urgent research and found that the zombies they encountered had no supernatural powers, but this did not reduce the lethality of these zombies.

Because, this is a parasite of an unknown species!

Zombie bugs live in the snow, but they like to parasitize in warm places.

In this extremely cold environment, there is no zombification for them to parasitize. Except for some mutated animals that have survived, only human beings with body temperature are the best choice for zombies to parasitize.

They bit off the skin of humans, and squeezed into the warm flesh by thousands, until the human body could no longer hold any more, and the rest of the zombies would retreat to look for the next parasite.

The murdered team member of the Xiongshi team was covered in zombies crawling out of the snow, until the zombies retreated and dispersed to attack the next target, the murdered member doubled in size, and the skin of the whole body including the eyeballs was gone. Replaced by transparent zombie bugs. And in this case, he didn't even shed a little blood.

When Hou Ying and others heard people talking about it, they could think of the horror of zombies, let alone the people they saw with their own eyes.

Wu Nan said with lingering fear: "When I returned to the city, I found out from the team I knew before that there were two people killed in the Lions team. They all showed symptoms of zombies at the beginning, but died within a few minutes. Yes. After their body temperature was lost, the zombie worms crawled out of their bodies again. At that time, the people of the army team saw that the two people had only bones and hair left, and the rest were eaten by the zombie worms... It was terrible. .”

Fortunately, the bugs are not without weaknesses. They like warmth, but are afraid of fire.

Therefore, the Yellow River base urgently summoned all the registered fire-type supernatural beings in an attempt to burn them to death, otherwise they would be mixed into the base according to the reproduction speed of the bugs, and they would be nothing but bones left without waiting for the zombies to break in.

Hou Ying frowned and asked, "Has Xuanyuan and the others come back yet?"

Hou Ying tried to listen to the movement outside, but in the next second she covered her ears and gave up the idea. The roar of the zombies in her ears made him lose control of his emotions. He concealed this from everyone including Li Xuanyuan, and once again used a powerful Willpower calms one's emotions and restores one's composure.

Liu Zhandao: "Xuanyuan and the second child are very vigilant, and the Xuanyuan family has already had people broadcast the dangers of zombies on the base radio, the second child will hear it."

Dongfang Bai said: "Brother Monkey, if you are worried, I will take Brother Tao to join them."

Hou Ying thought about it, but still rejected his proposal, "Now the base needs Brother Tao even more, and Xuanyuan is also a member of the Xuanyuan family, so we will do what we can, but you must stay vigilant and don't let Zombies took advantage of the loopholes. Xiaohe Xiaohai, you also have to follow the team closely, and don't be alone."

Liu Zhan said: "Brother Hou, don't worry, I will take good care of them."

Hou Ying said: "Okay, zombies..."

While talking, Xuanyuan walked in quickly.

Seeing her ugly expression, everyone couldn't help asking what happened. Xuanyuan took a sip of hot water, and his lips that were purple from the cold recovered a little bit of temperature, and said: "Since the beginning of the weather change, the three major bases of the Yangtze River, Pearl River, and Kawahara have sent distress messages one after another, as well as the pre-built Northeast. Changbai base, their casualties were very heavy."

Hou Ying: "They also encountered level four zombies?"

"No." Xuanyuan Zhen said: "From the current news, the zombie tide they encountered there is not organized. But there are only a handful of third-level supernatural beings in their base, and there is not much chance of winning against third-level zombies... The problem is, we can't recruit many people at all now, and we don't know what it will be like to survive this wave of zombies."

The current situation is bad enough, but it is not difficult for them to imagine that the situation after the zombie wave will only be more difficult than it is now.

"These are not the worst." Xuanyuan really had a serious face, "We just received a distress letter, and the Pearl River base was attacked by zombie birds! The situation is very urgent. If the Pearl River base does not get rescue in time, their more than one million Except for two or three thousand people with supernatural powers, others may not be able to save their lives."

Everyone was taken aback.

zombie bird.

Comparing the power of zombie insects, they knew that these zombie birds were not good stubble either.

The Pearl River base is also a large survivor base, with more than one million surviving humans in it. It is absolutely impossible to let them die, otherwise, there is no future for human beings.

Hou Ying quickly asked about the plan of the Yellow River base, and sure enough, the Yellow River base agreed that emergency rescue should be implemented.

Xuanyuanzhen: "After discussion, the base has been decided, and Duan Yin and I will lead people to rescue. The army team will be dispatched in full, and I will take away a hundred five-element supernatural beings, plus a thousand first-level military supernatural powers." Those who can, will leave in an hour."

Hou Ying did not expect that the base would decide that the Xuanyuan family and the Duan family would come forward to rescue the Pearl River base, but it is not surprising to think about it. People with five-element abilities are equivalent to the necessities of survival, and people with five-element abilities must come forward to help, and the Xuanyuan family can't stay out of it. The Duan family where the lion team is located has the strongest combat effectiveness of supernatural beings other than Xuanyuan's family. Duan Yin's personal ability is not weak, and the Shen family and the Chang family are temporarily unable to spare any manpower.

Hou Ying thought for a moment, and said, "Sister, no one can say for sure what's going on there, let Azhan and Gongsun go with you."

Liu Zhan can hold his own and is decisive enough, while Gongsun Jing has the ability to heal. With the two of them around, he and Li Xuanyuan can feel at ease. Both Liu Zhan and Gongsun Jing hesitated, but seeing that Hou Ying had made up her mind, they didn't say anything more.

Not long after Xuanyuan really boarded the plane to the Pearl River base, the three of Li Xuanyuan returned to the Yellow River base before midnight.

They brought back sixteen third-level crystal nuclei and several second-level first-level crystal nuclei, but no fourth-level zombie nuclei.

From Qiao Daye and Ji Yao's narration, Hou Ying and the others learned that they had indeed encountered a fourth-level zombie, and it was a fourth-level water zombie, but the fourth-level zombie was much more cunning than the third-level zombie.

"We used the third-level crystal nucleus as bait. The water-type zombie found us but didn't attack us immediately. Instead, it ordered the second-level and third-level zombies to deal with us. When we found out its whereabouts and wanted to attack us, it unexpectedly Hide in the pile of zombies and run away!"

Qiao Dayo was full of displeasure.

Ji Yao also said: "When a third-level zombie encounters a crystal nucleus of the same attribute as itself, it pounces on it like chicken blood, but it doesn't seem to be that rare, and it runs away as soon as it says it. We chased it for a long time and didn't catch it. I also heard that some zombies appeared in the base, so I was afraid that you would be worried, so I came back first."

Hou Ying frowned, "You mean, level 4 zombies already have the ability to think, and they can avoid danger on their own? Even weighing the crystal nucleus is worth fighting to the death?"

Everyone was startled.

If zombies can think, what's the difference between them and humans...? Is it possible for them to return to human beings at higher levels

All of a sudden, everyone felt chills in their backs. After all, zombies used to be real people. If their current mutation is just "having a mental illness" and they are killed by them, how will this tragedy be dealt with in the end

"impossible."

Li Xuanyuan spoke very simply.

"They don't have the ability to think, probably because they have a sense of crisis compared to their own higher-level supernatural beings, so they didn't face the enemy head-on." Li Xuanyuan said carefully: "I can feel that the fourth-level zombie is afraid of something, but It doesn’t mean they have thinking ability, it’s just instinct. This kind of sign is no different from avoiding danger in ordinary animals.”

His determination made everyone more or less relieved.

If zombies are really just a certain diseased state of human beings, and they can recover one day, they will be scared awake at night when they think about the number of crystal nuclei they dug to represent the zombies that died on their hands.

Qiao Daye said: "Anyway, zombies can't escape the temptation of the zombie crystal nucleus. Let's make arrangements in advance tomorrow, so that the zombie will have nowhere to escape!"

Ji Yao also nodded repeatedly.

Hou Ying rubbed her eyebrows and said: "In this case, our team should not act separately. Hunting low-level zombies will not delay hunting fourth-level zombies. You will act together tomorrow. Those zombies caused a lot of panic at first, but Now it seems that there is no ability to escape from the ground. As long as you don't directly contact the human body, the harm will be greatly weakened. Now the base has enough fire-type supernatural powers. I will ask my parents to help bring Brother Tao back and follow you in case."

After exchanging about the fourth-level supernatural zombies, Li Xuanyuan asked about Xuanyuan Zhen and his party flying south to the Pearl River base.

Hou Ying said: "The specific situation is not clear, but with Azhan and Gongsun by her side, there will be no problem in saving her life. When the fourth-level and third-level zombies on our side are all dealt with, we will also go south to join them."

Li Xuanyuan nodded, he was very relieved of Hou Ying's arrangement.

After saying a few more words about tomorrow's itinerary, everyone dispersed. Hou Ying asked them to take Li Hou away, and when they were all gone, she said to Li Xuanyuan, "Xuanyuan, knock me out."

Li Xuanyuan was stunned, "It wasn't last time..."

Hou Ying's inability to fall asleep made them very worried, and they had already tried methods such as injections to stun them. But it was very strange that Hou Ying had a very strong rejection reaction to the medicine, and after injecting a little salt water with sleeping medicine, he vomited very hard, which scared Gongsun Jing so much that she didn't dare to try again. After being knocked out, Hou Ying woke up from the noise very quickly, and couldn't hold back for even ten minutes.

"I have to find a way to rest my ears, even if it's only for a second..." Hou Ying said and paused, "I have a better way, but it's a pity that you have to go out tomorrow, so I can't do it ah."

Li Xuanyuan stared at him for two seconds, then suddenly pushed him onto the bed, "Don't worry about it, as long as it works."

Without any explanation, he stripped him naked and bit Hou Ying's lip.
