Doomsday pawn

On the road on the east side of the town!

Wei Lai and the others finally stopped at the edge of a large pit, looking at the strange object placed in the pit, their eyes glazed over.

"Isn't there a virus in this thing?"

As the second woman in the team, Kong Yue finally had time to tidy up last night. Although she didn't have any extraordinary appearance after tidying up, she was taller, taller, and had fair skin.

The most important thing is that she has a pair of big eyes, which look very smart as they move around.

"Don't worry, it's definitely not happening after such a long time. Otherwise, we would have to kneel down by now." Li Wu explained as if he understood clearly.

I don’t know whether he really knew it or pretended to know it, but what he said was true.

Inside the pit…

A meteorite the size of a millstone is firmly embedded in the ground. This thing looks pitch black, with large and small sharp protrusions on it, and it feels angular and ferocious to the touch.

Wei Lai retracted his extended palm and lightly crushed it with his thumb and index finger. It was covered with black powder. That was the trace left by the meteorite after it entered the atmosphere and burned due to friction with the air.

"How many powerful zombies can be created from such a large meteorite?" Unlike the two people who spoke meaninglessly, Shitou pointed directly at the crux of the problem with his mouth, causing several other people to look at him and start thinking.

And this... is exactly what Wei Lai is worried about now.

None of them knew how many viruses such a large meteorite carried, and what terrible things those viruses would create.

Groups of gray eyes? Or stronger green eyes?

Or is it something unknown at a higher level?

If it's the first two, it's fine. As long as the gray-eyed zombies don't reach a particularly large scale, they won't be a big threat to them.

As for Green Eyes? Now his and Gardenia's bodies have been strengthened. Let alone two versus one, even if it is a one-on-one duel, the chance of winning is not small.

But what if the worst happens?

"Please God, don't be a mutated animal this time." Li Wu's voice happened to come at this time.

Yes, if the worst happens, they can only pray that it is not an animal. After all, the pressure brought by zombie dogs on them was too great.

Moreover, the quality of the animals themselves is stronger than that of humans. Now that they have been mutated and strengthened, the difficulty index of killing them has simply increased exponentially.

Why!

Wei Lai shook his head gently and stopped thinking about it. Now he can only hope that the thing is not too strong!

He raised his feet and stepped out of the deep pit: "Let's go, keep going north!"

"What about this thing?" Li Wu, who was a little curious about meteorites, asked, tapping it with the back of his knife.

Wei Lai, who was already preparing to leave, closed his eyes and was speechless: "What? Are you still afraid of losing it? Just leave it here for now and take it with you when you go back."

"hey-hey!"

This disgusting tone made Kong Yue on the side grin, and even the naive Shitou raised the corners of his mouth.

"Why are you laughing? Why don't you catch up!" Li Wu, who knew he was embarrassed, stepped out of the pit and muttered to the two of them with a straight face, obviously intending to save face for himself.

But when the three of them were about to follow up...

However, a disheveled figure suddenly passed Li Wu's body from behind, raised his hand, grabbed Wei Lai's arm and pulled it.

"Oh, I'll go!"

Li Wu, who was already nervous, was startled by Gardenia who suddenly passed him by without making any sound.

Um?

After noticing the pull on his arm, Wei Lai turned around. At this moment, Li Wu, who had been on tenterhooks, just asked, "What's wrong, sister?"

Gardenia's hair still covered her cheeks, making it impossible to see any expression. Although she did not speak, she raised her thin arms and pointed her fingers in another direction.

And through the slender hand holding his arm, Wei Lai could clearly feel the bursts of force coming from it. Is this girl nervous about something?

He quickly asked: "What did you see?"

Gardenia, who did not let go of her palms, first squinted her eyes and shook her head, and then pointed to her ears, indicating that she heard with her ears.

Why didn't I hear anything? Although Wei Lai was confused, he still protected the thin Gardenia behind him and reminded them: "Everyone, be careful, let's go over and take a look!"

A few minutes later…

Everyone who was queuing up to turn an intersection was stunned for a moment. Not only Li Wu and the others were shocked, but even Wei Lai, who had always been calm and steady, felt a little numb when he saw the scene in front of him.

Zombies, countless zombies!

Looking forward from their perspective, they saw a dense swarm of gray-eyed zombies that moved slowly and had not yet entered the hunting state.

Each of them opened their mouths wide, exposing their sharp canine teeth. The mucus on them was sticky, and they kept making hissing and hooting sounds in their throats.

Further forward, all you can see are the backs of heads. The numerous and constantly shaking heads make it dizzying for a moment.

What's even weirder is that these guys, who were supposed to be irrational, now seem to have discipline, shoulder to shoulder, walking in the same direction in groups.

This situation is so abnormal!

Several people were huddled in the corner and did not dare to make any noise. Wei Lai's expression was even more serious, and his brows were squeezed together.

Although I have seen groups of zombies before, they were not on such a large scale that time. Moreover, the reason why zombies appeared in groups at that time was because they were attracted by blood food and had completely entered the hunting state.

But the group of guys in front of them were on the contrary. They were still wandering around in a muddle-headed manner, but this time they seemed to have some special purpose, and the goals of their actions were very consistent.

"Hey, be a good boy, how much is this? A few hundred? Or a few thousand?" Shitou opened his mouth and muttered. At this time, he was still holding Kong Yue's arm with one hand, and because of this, he did not give in.

The woman slumped on the ground with her legs weak because of fear.

"Wei Lai...we...we..."

Kong Yue, who had never seen such a scene before, looked frightened, and her whole body was trembling. Her teeth were chattering, and her voice was trembling as if she wanted to ask something. But after trying several times, she could not utter a complete sentence.

sentences.

She was no longer afraid now, but feared from the bottom of her heart. The gathering of so many zombies was completely beyond the range of her heart.

"Li Wu, take them two to the back to find supplies. Don't go too far."

Seeing that if things continued like this, the little confidence this woman had just accumulated would be completely shattered again. Wei Lai could only arrange for Li Wu to take her out of here first.

After saying that... after thinking about it, he added another sentence. "You don't have to come over when you're done. You go to the crater and wait for us!"

"Um!"

Li Wu agreed very quickly, and after nodding, he took Kong Yue's other arm, and Shitou and Shitou led her away, half pushing and half holding her back.

to be honest…

He had wanted to run away for a long time, but the leader hadn't spoken just now, so he didn't dare to move. Now that he heard the instruction to retreat, he walked very fast.

The group of corpses in the distance was too large, and I couldn't help at all. And judging from their number, if a fight really broke out, even Wei Lai and his elder sister Gardenia would definitely be able to cope with it.

Can't.

But even though they said that, if there was any accident, the two of them could run away! With their strengthened bodies, even if they couldn't deal with the group of corpses in front of them, there would still be no problem in escaping.

If that happens, the two and a half combat capabilities of the three of us will really become a liability. Instead of harming others and ourselves, it would be better to retreat as early as possible.

Regarding the evacuation of Li Wu and the others, Wei Lai did not look back at all. He stared at the backs of the zombies and thought for a long time, then whispered to himself: "If I remember correctly, that direction should be the location of the sea of ​​flowers."

But there is just a flower base that is not well-known. There is nothing in it except various plants. What could be so attractive to these zombies?
