Chapter 327 Living Zombies 4
Chapter 327 Living Zombies 4
Outside the towering walls of the central base, long lines of squads and soldiers, fresh from battle, formed outside the entrance to the city, a daily sight to behold.
It was thanks to these people who cleared away the endless stream of zombies around the base that ordinary humans were able to leave the base during the day and carry out basic agricultural work.
Ling Yi peered through the one-way window of the car, her hazy eyes observing the returning laborers and soldiers without blinking.
To be precise, apart from her large muscle groups, her small muscles had long since stopped moving, and she couldn't even blink. She was truly ruthless.
A hand reached out from behind, lightly shielding his eyes, and Xi Cheng's sour voice rang out: "What are you looking at, little cutie? They're not that powerful."
The sight of several fingers waving in front of her eyes was irritating, so Ling Yi pressed them down and tentatively used her teeth to trace the fingers on them.
This sight terrified the driver again, but Xi Cheng smiled and offered his hand again: "Bite it, bite it, let me see if I can become a creature like you."
He didn't think that a creature with its own thoughts and the ability to control its desires could be considered a zombie; she should be a third kind of creature, between humans and zombies.
It's just unknown whether her appearance is unique or if they can appear in batches.
If it's the latter...
A shadow of gloom flashed across Xi Cheng's smiling eyes. "Then we'll kill them all."
He could feel the little cutie's appetite for him. A creature with human intelligence, capable of blending into crowds, yet still harboring a hunger for humans—he couldn't even imagine what kind of disaster this was.
As for the little cutie?
He's just a hypocrite, so what?
"Come on, take a bite!" Let him try. If he also has consciousness, then the latter is true, and the hunt is about to begin.
What if you unfortunately become a mindless zombie?
Oh dear, he's turned into a zombie, so let's not ask too much of him.
What does it matter if the world is flooded after a person dies?
Bite away, bite away, I think you're the trendsetter!
Ling Yi irritably tossed Xi Cheng's hand aside and continued drooling over the human.
Even if she can't eat it, can't she at least look at it?
People wouldn't just run into the coop and eat a lively chick, especially since she's a vegetarian zombie.
The long queue ahead gradually shortened under Ling Yi's expectant gaze, and the fragrant humans gradually disappeared from her sight. Finally, it was Ling Yi and her car's turn for the inspection.
The moment the car door opened and Ling Yi's hazy eyes were exposed to everyone's view, dozens of guns were silently pointed at her.
"Oh dear, what are you going to do to my test subject?" Xi Cheng emerged from behind Ling Yi, the rope that had been tied around Ling Yi's hands now fastened to his wrist.
The dark muzzle of a gun was pointed at its head, and the mindless zombie, seemingly oblivious to the danger, bared its teeth at the soldiers behind it.
Clearly, the intelligent zombie knew that her abnormality should not be exposed to anyone.
Otherwise, the base would likely see another wave of zombie-hiding, causing a huge mess.
"Professor Xi, what's wrong with you...?" Everyone relaxed slightly when they saw Xi Cheng, but they were still puzzled.
Since Xi Cheng's laboratory was filled with level one to three zombie organs, he has stopped capturing zombies. On his recent trips out, he has only caught some small animals and collected some soil.
Why are they reverting to their old ways now?
Xi Cheng patted Ling Yi's shoulder with a smile, quickly dodging Ling Yi's tilted neck and biting mouth: "Don't you think she's special?"
soldiers:"……"
What's so special about it?
Are they particularly easy to kill?
That's true. Three years have passed since the apocalypse began, and everyone has survived through bloodshed. Even ordinary farmers can kill zombies with a single shovel.
From this perspective, this very new zombie is indeed quite special.
"Tsk, what kind of look is that?" Xi Cheng said disdainfully to the soldier who had no aesthetic sense. "I mean, she's especially cute."
"I noticed her specialness after just one meeting. Such a special person should be brought into my laboratory."
Soldier:"……"
The soldier, who had only served for a year, suddenly changed his expression. He remembered the last class he attended after graduating from high school, a course offered by the base to give them the confidence to fight zombies and move towards the future.
At that time, his school was assigned to the Institute of Science. At first, he saw the development of agriculture, manufacturing and food industry in the post-apocalyptic world. The technology that was still in operation calmed his fearful heart in the post-apocalyptic world.
Then, he went to the section on zombie research.
The others were relatively normal, with crystal cores and various paper photos and documents, but when it came to Xi Cheng, everything started to go astray.
The zombie's body was in pieces, its eyes were gray and soaked in formalin, and its heart was half rotting.
At that time, he and dozens of students vomited, and he had nightmares for three days after returning home.
Now, upon hearing Xi Cheng say that zombies were suitable for his experiments, the soldier immediately thought of the zombie body, which was physically far removed from his own. The wariness in his eyes when he looked at Ling Yi lessened considerably, replaced entirely by sympathy.
Falling into Professor Xi's hands is worse than being shot in the head in the wild.
As the needle pricked his fingertip, Xi Cheng watched his blood glow normally red in the testing instrument, and said unhappily, "What kind of look is that? As if I'm some kind of terrifying pervert."
Soldier:"……"
Aren't you?
The people behind him took blood samples one by one. Xi Cheng, holding the rope binding Ling Yi, asked obediently, "Does she need to be tested too?"
The soldier said helplessly, "Please get her in the car, don't scare other people, okay?"
What are we testing?
With such obvious features, he could have just pressed the red light directly; why bother with the detection device?
Xi Cheng curled his lip: "Fine, you guys just don't know how to appreciate things."
When he led Ling Yi, who was reluctantly yelling at the back, back to the car, he happened to run into Tan Xuebo, who had come here.
He paused, then looked at Tan Xuebo with a chilling gaze: "She's mine now. Don't let me catch you secretly looking at her again, or I'll gouge your eyes out."
Tan Xuebo gritted his teeth, his expression a mixture of suppressed sorrow and anger, the fireball in his hand flickering in and out of sight.
Seeing this, his captain quickly pulled him behind him, his eyes filled with anger as he looked at Xi Cheng: "Professor Xi, you don't need to provoke my team members again and again. Everyone has relatives who died in the apocalypse, and no one wants them to become fragmented specimens."
"Relatives?" Xi Cheng tapped his head, looking puzzled. "Isn't his relative the one in my lab...?"
After thinking for a long time, he slapped his forehead: "Yan Leran?"
He pointed two fingers to his eyes, then turned to Tan Xuebo: "I saw you picking her up from get off work."
Don't doubt his brilliant mind.
