Fortunately, the zombie swarm knew what they were doing. Li Weilan was coerced, hugged and left.
The last ones who lost just now became the 'guards' around him, and the other large zombie groups nearby seem to have selected their 'captains' in a similar way. On the other hand, Li Weilan suddenly discovered something: without exception, it seems that the damage of these zombies is not particularly high, and even just looking at the faces and bones, they can still be vaguely distinguished.
Shen Cheng also discovered this.
Zombies had nothing to do with the word "elegant" at first, but it was not obvious when they stood in the crowd of zombies. Now that four were finally selected, and the ones who stood out from the crowd stood out, Shen Cheng and Li Weilan felt the same in their hearts There was a murmur: What's going on? Is it accidental or inevitable? Do you think that these few selected zombies are not ugly
strangeness.
Li Weilan had already heard from Shen Cheng that the task she received was to "find out the reason for the instability of the zombie group".
Since he can receive this task, it means that there must be some changes in the zombie group.
The word "abnormal" has become quite weird so far: the zombie group is selecting the "captain" and commander, and the selection method used is so gentle, the vitality and elite of the zombie group are preserved to the greatest extent...
Really weird!
Li Weilan observed the other zombies, and after careful inspection, he found something wrong: two zombies were normal zombies, but the chest of the other one seemed to be bulging, which was different from his The sturdy figure does not match at all!
The bulge seemed to squirm occasionally, and it even looked a little like a living thing.
The zombie probably sensed his gaze, and its ferocious and cold gaze swept around. Li Weilan avoided his gaze and lowered its eyes: it is so keen on gaze, it is not like an ordinary zombie!
Li Weilan lowered her eyes, hiding her complicated gaze.
Their group walked behind the tallest zombie at the head, but Li Weilan found that every once in a while, the chest of the zombie he paid special attention to would start to squirm for a while, and then he would leave the team for a short distance Time to catch up.
There is no 'surveillance' or team relationship between zombies, so that it will definitely be targeted by humans as a spy. The abnormality has not been noticed by other zombies, but after repeating this two or three times, even Shen Cheng can't help it. Noticed: "Lanlan, the zombie following you seems to have left your team several times..."
Leaving the team means that the things in its arms cannot be seen by other zombies.
Moving drums...
Li Weilan vaguely guessed something, the next time the zombie left the team, he quietly slowed down, turned around and followed its footprints to the distance behind him where Shen Cheng could adjust the lens to see.
He couldn't walk in by himself, but Shen Cheng could see clearly through the adjustment of the camera, but she couldn't believe her eyes for a while when she saw the picture, and she let out a low 'ah', which made Li Weilan tremble Said in a low voice: "It seems to be a human child in its arms!"
It's a human child!
It's still feeding him!
The child opened his mouth and took the orange it fed him, eating it deliciously in small bites. He took a bite, the zombie fed a petal, hugged him from time to time, and shook him, the child smiled sweetly in his arms, but didn't make a sound.
A child and a zombie, this terrifying combination can become the 'captain' of a team alive? That zombie even took the baby with them
This... This is totally unreasonable!
Li Weilan wasn't a zombie in the first place, and it was fine if he didn't smell the smell of strangers. The other zombies were the most greedy for living flesh, so how could they turn a blind eye to the fact that there was a child living right under their noses
Li Weilan immediately thought of the reason: this zombie has a way to conceal the breath of a living person, and it is also willing to help this child to conceal it!
The former is not impossible. There are many air-type and even wind-type abilities that can do this, but the latter... far exceeds the scope of the relationship between zombies and humans. Under their noses, even those who have a little understanding of the ecology of the last days will not believe it!
After all, zombies and humans are natural enemies. Everyone thinks that they are completely two species. From the end of the world to the present, what humans think is how to exterminate zombies as soon as possible and restore the original world order. If they hear that there are zombies, they will raise them. Looking at human children, the most outrageous guess they can make at first is that they are raising 'reserve food'!
But Shen Cheng watched this scene from afar, watching the child chewing the orange petals in his mouth, laughing with a small dimple at the corner of his mouth, he even stretched out his hand and touched the zombie's cold cheek without any fear.
This scene is undoubtedly horrifying to ordinary people, but if you ignore the stiff facial muscles of the zombie, you can taste a bit of indulgence and care from its motionless silence.
Shen Cheng couldn't even imagine how this zombie got such a little food, and how much hardship this zombie had to pay in order to raise such a fragile child who might not survive in a human shelter .
She didn't think it was the relationship between the host and the food reserves that made the child laugh so sweetly.
Food of the future
Who is so precious to the food of the future!
Li Weilan was silent for a long time, and then quietly walked away on the premise of not disturbing the dead body of this person.
"Lanlan..." After walking a certain distance and making sure that they couldn't hear them, Shen Cheng called out Li Weilan with some concern. This was the first time she saw such a combination, "This is the reason why the zombie group is unstable. ?"
Li Weilan shook her head: This zombie is secretly raising a 'baby', but raising a 'baby' secretly is far from being 'unstable'.
"Has the mission been completed?" he asked.
Shen Cheng looked at the progress of the task, and said in frustration: "Not yet." And it didn't show that there was any progress yet.
"Since the task is called 'unstable', it must be a large-scale incident, or a problem that happened to high-ranking people who can influence the zombie group." Li Weilan said in a low voice, "A zombie is only a small-scale problem at most. Normal, but far from 'unstable'."
"Oh..." I thought I had found the reason.
He paused, perhaps aware of Shen Cheng's slight frustration, and continued to analyze: "But from this zombie, I can guess several possibilities of 'abnormality'."
So it's not useless information.
Shen Cheng looked at the time: her depression was not because of anything else, but because since the election of the 'captain', the entire group of zombies has been walking mechanically, and 24 hours have passed by now After about 8 hours, what she was worried about was whether he would wait until the use time of the mimetic equipment was coming to an end, and he hadn't finished this task when he faced the risk of losing his horse.
She doesn't want to see her boyfriend take risks!
Now hearing him say 'guess the possibility', Shen Cheng couldn't help asking: "What possibilities?"
"If the zombies have human intelligence and find an incompetent 'king' among them, what do you think will happen?" Li Weilan asked her.
Shen Cheng was terrified.
Prior to this, everyone thought that zombies were creatures that had no advanced intelligence and only knew how to obey higher-level zombies in terms of rank.
For zombies, a higher level means everything, and higher-level zombies can completely control the behavior of lower-level zombies, which is why the Academy of Sciences is preparing to end the battle with nuclear bombs after all the zombies enter the "designated ambush position" . In their view, the method of gathering zombies can solve all the problems once and for all. This is the simplest and never-ending method.
But what if the zombies find out
This zombie secretly hides human children, obviously already has a lot of wisdom, but what his wisdom brings is 'love' and care, is it possible that the intelligence points of other zombies bring intrigue, or Is it the same ambition as human beings
"It's a pity that we can't understand what the bird is saying..." Shen Cheng sighed, otherwise, they would have known their purpose this time.
"No." Li Weilan suddenly thought of something.
His eyes were fixed, he turned around suddenly, and turned his head in the direction of the zombie and the child: "I don't understand, but someone can understand."
"Ah!" Shen Cheng also understood what he meant.
The zombie had just carefully put the child into its arms. He lowered his head, and his white eyes, which seemed to be completely invisible, stayed on the child's body for a moment. Suddenly, it seemed to smell something, and it suddenly turned around, looking fierce. His eyes turned directly to Li Weilan's direction!
It pushed the little head in its arms --- it was only then that Li Weilan and Shen Cheng realized that it was not its clothes or the fabric that held the baby, but a large loose sarcoma on its chest , that large piece of sarcoma turned into a pouch-like tissue, the child retracted his head, and the whole thing was shrunk in the pouch, so tightly covered that he couldn't see it at all!
Maybe because he realized that he had seen his secret, when the zombie hand moved, a hurricane blew up at Li Weilan's feet. The ground is pulled up!
It really is a wind-type supernatural zombie!
Li Weilan used teleportation to avoid two meters away.
He appeared behind the zombie like a ghost, and lightly patted the neck of the zombie. He didn't have to be too hard, but even so, the child had already met Li Weilan's eyes in its arms .
He has a pair of very frightened eyes.
Li Weilan's heart moved, and she only said to the child: "I have no malicious intentions."
He didn't have any malicious intentions. Just as the zombie realized that he had appeared behind him, it raised its hand and threw a wind blade. It hugged the child in its arms, wishing it could be ten feet away from Li Weilan.
This time Li Weilan only dodged the attack but did not fight back. He stood behind it again, only looked at the child and said, "I have no malicious intentions."
He took a breath: "I'm human too."
"You liar!" The child pointed at him and shouted angrily. He put his arms around the zombie's neck, "Daddy hit him, liar!"
"Father?" Li Weilan and Shen Cheng were startled at the same time: This child looks malnourished and stunted, but he is old enough to be sensible enough to call someone. He calls him Dad
The zombie was about to pounce on him again when he heard the words, Li Weilan and Shen Cheng both realized that this child might be the real talker in this pair, he looked at the child and said, "I'm not a zombie, you haven't seen it before." Talking zombies, right? The way I am now is a disguise." He paused, "You and your father don't need to continue to fight with the team, you tell me the information, and I will give you enough food for the first half of the year alone. food."
"!!!" The child's eyes lit up.
Maybe it's because the following 'father' is not human, he looked extremely precocious, but when he saw the toffee Li Weilan took out from his arms, he just swallowed a couple of saliva, but still refused: "No! You saw our appearance, You're going to inform!"
"..." This child is a ghost.
Both Li Weilan and Shen Cheng secretly sighed: Dolls in the last days are very precocious, and this one is no exception.
Li Weilan was helpless, he sighed and was about to take off the camouflage suit, but Shen Cheng stopped him, she said to Li Weilan: "Let me try to communicate with him. You... no..."
There was a fight first, and it was a man whose force value was much higher than the opponent's. The child's alertness threshold was so high, how could he listen to what he said
At this time, girls are relatively better.
Hearing what she said, Li Weilan frowned dangerously: "No?"
"..." It's not that you can't do that, don't be so sensitive.
Shen Cheng was about to say this, but saw Li Weilan clattering, taking out a lot of supplies from the space, and placing them directly in front of the child.
A few candies are not enough, enough for him to feed himself for half a year, he doesn't believe it, that child really can't be tempted!
The child was really not moved.
This time, it was the zombie that suddenly withdrew all its skills and turned straight to the direction of the supplies.
"Daddy? Daddy?" The child called him several times, and even patted it, but he didn't respond to the zombies that usually obey him. Finally, he looked up bitterly and looked at Li Weilan, "Forget it, this is my dad What do you want to ask, just ask!"
