I have a space station

"Isn't this too slow?" the man questioned.

"It is a bit slow, but it's more reliable," Shen Wengang explained.

"How about this? There are six places in total. We each go to one, and we all go to the last one together," the man suggested.

Shen Wengang frowned, thinking:

This is just nonsense. If we split up, what if we encounter zombies?

"How about this, brothers? The three of us will go to these three places in the west, and you two go to those two places in the east. Then, we'll meet at the destination closest to us, investigate, and return together. What do you think?" Without waiting for Shen Wengang to reply, the man continued.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Do you have a death wish?" Luo'er said angrily.

Shen Wengang pulled his sister back and replied:

"Alright! Let's do it that way!"

After speaking, he pulled his sister and set off.

"Brother, that guy is so annoying, acting like we're going to be a burden to them," Luo'er complained as they walked.

"Forget it! You can't talk sense into someone who's determined to die. It's better to split up, so they don't drag us down later," Shen Wengang said.

The traffic in the city was severely congested, and the two moved very slowly.

It took them three hours to reach the first target location.

This was a large supermarket, and the glass at the entrance was completely shattered. From the scene, it was clear that this place had been looted many times before.

"Brother, should we go in?" Luo'er asked.

"We have to go in. Luo'er, get your weapon ready," Shen Wengang said, taking the long object from his back, removing the cloth wrapped around it, revealing a Type 1 Guardian laser gun.

Luo'er also took out her gun.

The two raised their guns, crouched down, and slowly walked into the supermarket.

They turned on the night vision function of their digital eye implants and searched the supermarket, but found nothing.

"Strange. Brother, why aren't there any zombies in here?" Luo'er asked, puzzled.

"I don't know either. Let's go, let's get out of here. We'll go to the next place," Shen Wengang said.

Walking on the road, Luo'er asked:

"Brother, do you think it's possible that there are no zombies in Mozhou City at all?"

"How is that possible? If there were no zombies, why would people evacuate?" Shen Wengang replied.

"That's true, then it's strange," Luo'er thought, unable to understand.

The other target location wasn't far away, and the two arrived in half an hour.

It was already around one o'clock in the afternoon, and it was barely raining anymore.

The two found a corner, took off their hoods in turns, ate some food, and drank some water. The two dogs squatted quietly in two different directions, observing.

The layout of the supermarket was similar to the previous place. The same signs, the same brands, and a similar layout inside.

Stepping into the supermarket entrance, looking around, it was empty, not even a shelf.

This isn't normal!

"Luo'er, be careful, there's something strange here," Shen Wengang warned.

"Okay!" Luo'er responded.

The two proceeded step by step, cautiously and slowly.

"Bang!" With a loud noise, an iron gate suddenly fell at the entrance, blocking the door.

"Not good! An ambush!" Shen Wengang shouted.

The two quickly ran towards the exit.

The iron gate was welded together with very thick twisted steel, very heavy and very strong, and it seemed to be held in place by latches at the top. The two tried hard to lift it up, but couldn't.

Just as they were anxiously trying to figure out a solution, a strange zombie roar came from inside.

"Eliminate the zombies first!" Shen Wengang said to Luo'er.

They quickly raised their guns and aimed inside.

"Oh my god!" The back of their necks felt cold.

Looking ahead, it was densely packed with zombies. Under the night vision effect, each zombie's eyes glowed green.

Walking in the front was a taller and stronger zombie, which seemed to be the leader here.

"A second-tier zombie!" Shen Wengang's first reaction.

Because first-tier zombies have no intelligence at all. Under the maintenance of the crystal core energy, the brain nerves and the virus combine to form a very low-level bio-current. In this way, zombies have the most primitive biological reaction: the instinct to prey. So zombies exhibit the characteristic of devouring.

Symbiosis is a very common phenomenon in the biological world. For example, hundreds of kinds of bacteria coexist in our human body. They live in harmony with humans and depend on each other.

Compared with first-tier zombies, the energy purity of the crystal core of second-tier zombies is doubled, and the bio-current is stronger. Under this stimulation, zombies have a more advanced biological reaction: territorial awareness. They begin to have fixed strongholds and will not leave easily. And attack any enemies who dare to invade the territory. At the same time, their skin begins to show "callusing". According to the degree of callusing, second-tier zombies can be roughly divided into: initial, mid, and late stages.

The skin callusing degree of second-tier zombies in the early stage is relatively low, while the skin callusing degree of second-tier zombies in the late stage is already very high. This is also a simple way to distinguish second-tier zombies.

Standing in front of them right now was obviously a late-stage second-tier zombie. Its skin surface was covered with thick calluses, causing its body to bulge out a large circle, making it look exceptionally strong.

Laser guns cannot easily harm second-tier zombies, so Shen Wengang simply didn't try.
