metaverse evolution.

High in the sky, Chu Fei paused his advance and began to patrol along the south bank of the great river.

Li Guangyu followed behind and flew for more than ten kilometers, a little out of breath, and finally couldn't help shouting: "There is nothing to see, just the fleeing people and the living corpses chasing after them."

Chu Fei replied casually: "Captain Li, the two of us are not in a team.

The reason why I went to Black Iron City was just to express my attitude of cooperation.

Now that the attitude is in place, you don't need to follow me anymore.

You can go to Hongcheng first. "

Li Guangyu was silent for a while, did not speak, and indeed flew directly to the north.

Chu Fei looked at Li Guangyu's back and shook his head slightly; then he continued to inspect the south bank.

It is necessary to patrol the South Bank.

Chu Fei knew nothing about living corpses.The only time he had come into contact with living corpses was last year, and the living corpses he encountered at that time were all the lowest-level living corpses.At the same time, I saw the Thunderbolt Lucheng No. 007.

Chu Fei had no idea what the Thunderbolt Lucheng had done.I only know that it brought a small wave of living corpses.

Last year's small wave of living corpses did not cause much impact.Flying Tiger City can easily block it here.

But this year's zombie wave, the situation is a little different.I heard that there are already several high walls in the north that cannot stop them, and the defense line has retreated to Hongcheng.

If Hongcheng can't stop it, Black Iron City and Flying Tiger City will become the new front lines.

But, because of Hong Qingxin's reasons, Black Iron City and Flying Tiger City can be said to be a mess now. The world of high walls without high walls is a true portrayal of the current Feihu City and Black Iron City.

If Hongcheng is really going to collapse, the current Black Iron City and Flying Tiger City will definitely not be able to stop the tide of living corpses.Even the current Dawn City can't stop it.

But why is this zombie wave so different?

Flying Tiger City, Black Iron City, and even Hongcheng in the north are all on the edge of the civilized world. Every ten years, there will always be a wave of beasts and living corpses. But for hundreds of years, these high walls have not fallen down. Even develop and prosper, and continue to open up civilizations to the wild world.

But this time the tide of living corpses came suddenly - last year, there was just a small tide of living corpses, followed by a wave of beasts;

This time the wave of living corpses became even stronger - at least two high walls had been destroyed, and the defense line had retreated to Hongcheng.

Even according to the known information, this beast tide was caused by the tide of living corpses. It was the outbreak of the tide of living corpses that caused a large number of strange beasts in the barren land to migrate westward and southward.

There are also how the tide of living corpses cross the river, how to infect the crowd, etc., all of which need to be explored.

Directly rushing into Hongcheng foolishly, although Hongcheng may get the attention of Hongcheng and inform some news, if he doesn't investigate by himself, he will be easily deceived.

If you don't investigate, it will be difficult to grasp the truth!

After Li Guangyu left, Chu Fei continued to fly along the river bank, flying back and forth, constantly observing.

Most of the people rely on simple and self-made boats, rafts, skin rafts, etc. to cross the river.

What matters is the way the living corpses cross the river.

During the observation, Chu Fei found that the way the living corpse crossed the river was shocking.

Most of the living corpses jumped directly into the big river, and then were washed away by the rolling river; only a few lucky ones made it to the other side.At this time, there will be fleeing people who will turn over these 'lucky' living corpses.

In short, it is extremely difficult to rely on luck to cross the river.

But among the large number of stupid living corpses, there are always a few smart ones.

Some living corpses can quickly complete the mutation.

Chu Fei saw with his own eyes a living corpse that seemed to be inflated, turning itself into a raft and floating across the river.

Some living corpses suddenly awakened to wisdom.

Chu Fei saw a few living corpses together, snatching the rafts of the refugees and crossing the river.

There are even living corpses who suddenly awaken command ability and control a large number of ordinary living corpses to build bridges!
At this moment, Chu Fei saw a high-level living corpse that had awakened command ability in a river, and was directing ordinary living corpses to connect with each other and extend into the river.

Although the whole area is still rough, it is also rapidly extending towards the river.Chu Fei observed for 10 minutes and found that the suddenly awakened living corpse was rapidly transforming.

In the beginning, a large number of living corpses just rushed into the river, and then most of them were washed away;
But 1 minute later, under his command, a large number of ordinary living corpses began to advance hand in hand;

Another minute later, the bridge built by the living corpses was no longer piled up randomly, but an arched structure began to appear;
Although ordinary living corpses cannot carry too much weight, at this moment, a living corpse that turned into an "air bag" was rushed over.

The high-level living corpse looked at the air bag passing by, and changes began to appear on its body, and it was slowly inflating itself.

Seeing this, Chu Fei sighed faintly, took out the electromagnetic sniper rifle from the "spectacles box", and knocked off the head of the living corpse with one shot.

Seeing the slowly falling corpse, Chu Fei frowned slightly.

Although I only watched it for a while, the problems I found were disturbing.

1 First, the fleeing people.

These people would rather run, and would rather be overtaken by living corpses while running, rather than resist.

And the reason for this, in addition to various subjective factors, the most important thing is: no weapons!

These fleeing people basically did not have any decent weapons.

Is there such a shortage of resources?
2 Secondly, it is the infectivity of living corpses.

Seeing someone bitten by a living corpse, Chu Fei started to go crazy while running.

Because Chu Fei's observation time is relatively short, he is not sure when the "poison will occur".But based on the speed of the people and the distance from the river bank, it can be roughly inferred: half an hour.

The fighting power of the living corpse itself is actually not high, but its powerful contagion is frightening.

The more you fight, the more you are talking about living corpses.

A long time ago, Zhao Hongyue said to Chu Fei, "A person should not be killed twice", which in turn means: a living corpse may die twice or three times...

When a person is killed, he is really dead and cannot survive.

But living corpses can really come alive!

Chu Fei saw with his own eyes a living corpse whose head was half smashed, and struggled to get up again.

3 Again, it is the mutation speed of the living corpse.

The life structure of living corpses is completely different from that of human beings.

The existence of human beings is individual consciousness; while the living corpse is the life of group consciousness. The living corpse is not a human corpse at all, but a large number of living corpse viruses that multiply in human corpses.

The zombie virus itself does not have much consciousness and wisdom, but when the zombie virus "transforms" with the help of the human body, a group consciousness may be born.

You can think of it this way: a living corpse is a country, and every virus is an individual. After all people gather, a collective consciousness will also be born—national consciousness, patriotism, etc.

It is also the existence of group consciousness that makes the "mutation" of the living corpse extremely rapid.

In fact, it should not be called mutation, but should be called "recombination".

Just like a human country, once a disaster or war occurs, the people will quickly rush to the battlefield, from ordinary civilians to soldiers, and the whole country will quickly enter a wartime state.

This is also the case with living corpses.

But the vast majority of living corpses only have instincts.

However, there are a few living corpses with relatively advanced evolution, and the group consciousness has transformed into a little bit of wisdom, which can then command the "virus" in the body to reorganize.

As a result of the reorganization, some living corpses can transform into "rafts".

As for those who snatch the human raft, they have evolved a certain amount of wisdom.

Also, zombies are not very easy to kill.

If it is a human being, cut off the hands and feet, stab the stomach, etc., it will not die or be disabled.But the living corpse is not!

Generally, only smashing the head can kill the living corpse.

But some living corpses can still stand up even if their heads are cut off.Although there are not many, there are still some!
Regarding the living corpse, Chu Fei had many questions, but obviously he needed to find someone to ask.

The high wall in Hongcheng, where the battle is at the front line, is the best target for inquiries.

No longer paying attention to the remaining living corpses, Chu Fei flew directly to Hongcheng.

In the rear, Feathered Snake followed Chu Fei boredly, but still looked at the living corpse below, with a flash of vigilance in his eyes.

Chu Fei's words sounded in Feathered Snake's mind: "Are you driven here by living corpses?"

"Yes." Feathered Snake replied directly.After all, alien beasts are not as fancy as humans, and there is no need to lie.

Chu Fei asked some more questions, but Feathered Snake didn't seem to be very sensitive to numbers, etc., and could only answer limited questions in the end.

But even with a limited answer, Chu Fei was still faintly startled.

According to Feathered Snake, these strange beasts living in the east, northeast, and even the north, shortly after the last heavy snow day, a strange "person" suddenly broke into their range.

These "strange people" are not only bad to eat, they will die after eating.And there are also "weirds" that are taller than trees, and they are no match for even more powerful alien beasts.

According to Feathered Snake's answer, Chu Fei thought for a long time and gradually "translated".

The so-called "shortly after the last snowy day", isn't it the early spring of last year, before entering the Shuguang Academy, when I saw the Thunder City Lucheng.

And the "monster" taller than the trees should be the "giant corpse" that Zhao Hongyue mentioned.

Giant corpses can be regarded as the awakened ones among the living corpses. The smallest one is more than ten meters high, and there are records of hundreds of meters high.

Especially those with a height of hundreds of meters often have many legs in order to support their heavy bodies.

However, there is no more information about the living corpse.

Although Flying Tiger City has encountered waves of living corpses several times, the threat is generally not great, and the information collected is not much.

All I know is to use machine guns to deal with the tide of living corpses.What's more, the remains of the living corpses must be incinerated.

While thinking, Chu Fei had already flown across the long river, and saw a scene that made his scalp tingle.

On the north bank of the river, the density of living corpses suddenly increased.But as they flew and approached the city wall of Hongcheng, the density of living corpses became higher and higher.

And at the base of the city wall of Hongcheng, there are hills piled up with living corpses, climbing towards the city wall.

Living corpses kept crawling, and the stacked city was one by one sticking to the cones of the wall, and continued to climb up the city wall.

From time to time, fuel oil was poured down, igniting the "cones" one after another.

Or a grenade or the like falls and explodes the living corpse.

Occasionally, a living corpse would suddenly awaken gecko-like abilities, climb to the top of the city with hands and feet, and then be stabbed down by spears one by one.

On the top of the high wall, there are cannons roaring, but the shortcomings of the cannon are destined to not be able to take care of the bottom of the city wall, and can only attack from a distance.

Judging from the density of the artillery fire and the fact that the head of the city began to use spears, Hongcheng's military supplies should be a little tight.

But in the tide of living corpses, there are not only ordinary living corpses.

Here, Chu Fei saw:
There are giant corpses with a height of more than ten meters. These giant corpses are so powerful that they can even resist ordinary rocket attacks; although they will be seriously injured, their bodies will recover quickly, but their height is a little shorter;
There are living corpses like creepers in horror movies. These things can still vaguely see a little human shadow, but they look like aliens. They crawl fast and dodge flexibly. They are the main force of the siege;

There are living corpses with bat-like wings, each of them looks like a demon;
There are many "snakes", and the "human bodies" are spliced ​​together to form a different kind of "snake". Even if one or two heads are cut off, the movement of this "snake" will not be affected; Turn into two individuals!

While Chu Fei was observing, a flying corpse found Chu Fei and turned his head to rush towards Chu Fei.

At close range, Chu Fei saw the appearance of this thing clearly:

Normal human body size, very thin or with a sense of dryness, but his body is full of muscles and muscles, his skin is blue and black with a faint metallic luster, and his fangs are sharp and sharp.

The fleshy wings are dark red, with a single wing up to two meters long and a wingspan of over four meters.

Before he got close to Chu Fei, there was a sharp and ear-piercing scream.

In an instant, the sound of scratching glass exploded, causing Chu Fei to frown slightly.

He even knows about sound attacks!
Unfortunately, I met Chu Fei.

Why is the sound of scratching glass so unpleasant and harsh?Because it resonates with a certain frequency of the human body.

Chu Fei can easily adjust this resonance!

The wind of perception refreshes frantically, scanning the body of the flying zombie with the ability of perspective.

There is a huge heart in the chest of the living corpse. According to the scan results, the diameter of this "heart" is more than 20 centimeters, and the volume is 8 to 10 times that of a normal person!
Correspondingly, Chu Fei did not find structures such as the reproductive system, urinary system, and pancreatic islets.It has structures similar to liver, lungs, stomach, and intestines.There are also brain structures and spinal cord structures.

But the skeletal system is more "perfect" than humans-there is even cartilage tissue in the abdomen!

What caught Chu Fei's attention the most was the fact that there was a fist-sized "crystal nucleus" on the chest of the living corpse.

This should be Neng Jing, the living corpse actually has a crystal nucleus similar to that of a strange beast.

Awakened human beings don't have this thing.

In short, this is a well-evolved living corpse!
Unfortunately, the flight speed is too slow.

This thought flashed through Chu Fei's mind, but he still pulled out his long knife and chopped off half of the living corpse's wing.The living corpse screamed and spun and fell.

The screams attracted more living corpses.

Chu Fei took a deep breath, looked at the swarming over 30 flying corpses, and said coolly: "That's okay, I didn't bring any presents from afar, so let's use the achievements as a meeting gift!"

At the same time, he ordered Feathered Serpent to stop making trouble for him, and to bully those living corpses that could climb walls. (end of this chapter)
