Metaverse Evolution

In the sky, Chu Fei paused and began to patrol along the south bank of the river.

Li Guangyu followed him and flew for ten kilometers. He was a little out of breath and finally couldn't help shouting: "What is there to see? It's just the fleeing people and the zombies chasing after us."

Chu Fei replied casually: "Captain Li, we are not a team.

The reason why I went to Black Iron City is just to show my attitude of cooperation.

Now that the attitude has been made, you don't have to follow me.

You can go to Hongcheng first."

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

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

Patrolling the south bank is very necessary.

Chu Fei knew nothing about zombies. The only time he had come into contact with zombies was last year, and the zombies he encountered at that time were all the lowest level zombies. At the same time, he also saw Thunder Lucheng 007.

Chu Fei had no idea what Thunder Lucheng did. He only knew that it brought a small-scale zombie tide.

Last year's small-scale zombie tide did not cause much impact. Feihu City easily blocked it.

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

If Hongcheng can't stop it, Heitie City and Feihu City will become the new front line.

But, because of Hong Qingxin, Heitie City and Feihu City are now a mess. The high wall world is without high walls, which is the true portrayal of Feihu City and Heitie City now.

If Hongcheng really collapses, the current Heitie City and Feihu City will definitely not be able to stop the zombie tide. Even the current Liming City can't stop it.

But why is this zombie tide so different?

Feihu City, Heitie City, and even Hongcheng in the north are all on the edge of the civilized world. Every ten years or so, they will encounter beast tides and zombie tides, but for hundreds of years, these high walls have stood firm, and even developed and prospered, constantly opening up civilized land to the wild world.

But this zombie tide came suddenly - we just experienced a small zombie tide last year, and then there was a beast tide;

This zombie tide is even stronger - at least two high walls have collapsed, and the defense line has retreated to Hongcheng.

Even according to known information, this beast tide was caused by the zombie tide. It was the zombie tide that caused a large number of strange beasts in the wilderness to migrate westward and southward.

There are also questions about how the zombie tide crosses the river and how it infects people, etc., which need to be explored.

Directly rushing into Hongcheng foolishly may gain the attention of Hongcheng and tell some news, but if you don't investigate yourself, you 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.

Not to mention that most people rely on simple homemade boats, rafts, rafts, etc. to cross the river.

The important thing is the way the zombies cross the river.

During the observation, Chu Fei found that the way the zombies cross the river is shocking.

Most zombies jumped directly into the river and were washed away by the rolling river water; only a few lucky ones could reach the other side. At this time, there would be refugees who would knock down these "lucky" zombies.

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

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

Some zombies can quickly complete the mutation.

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

Some zombies suddenly awakened wisdom.

Chu Fei saw several zombies together, snatching the rafts of the refugees to cross the river.

There are even zombies that suddenly awaken the command ability and control a large number of ordinary zombies to build bridges!

At this time, Chu Fei saw a high-level zombie with awakened command ability in a river, commanding ordinary zombies to connect with each other and extend into the river.

Although the overall structure is still very rough, it is also rapidly extending into the river. Chu Fei observed for ten minutes and found that this suddenly awakened zombie was rapidly transforming.

At first, a large number of zombies just rushed into the river, and then most of them were washed away;

But one minute later, a large number of ordinary zombies began to move forward hand in hand under their command;

Another minute later, the bridge built by the zombies was no longer randomly piled up, but began to have an arched structure;

Although ordinary zombies cannot bear too much weight, at this moment, a zombie that turned into an "air bag" was rushed over.

The advanced zombie looked at the air bag floating by, and changes began to appear on its body. It was slowly expanding.

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

Looking at the slowly falling zombie body, Chu Fei frowned slightly.

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

1First, it is the fleeing people.

These people would rather run away, and would rather be caught up by zombies while running away, rather than resist.

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

These fleeing people basically have no decent weapons.

Are resources so scarce?

2 Secondly, zombies are contagious.

Chu Fei saw someone bitten by a zombie and started to go crazy while running.

Because Chu Fei's observation time was short, he was not sure when the "poison" would take effect. But according to the speed of the people and the distance from the river bank, he could roughly infer that it was half an hour.

The combat effectiveness of the zombies themselves was not high, but their strong infectiousness was terrifying.

The more they were beaten, the more they appeared, which was what zombies were talking about.

A long time ago, Zhao Hongyue told Chu Fei, "People cannot be killed twice", which means in reverse: zombies may die twice or three times...

When people are killed, they are really dead and cannot come back to life.

But zombies can really come back to life!

Chu Fei saw with his own eyes a zombie with half of its head smashed, struggling to get up again.

3Then, it is the mutation speed of zombies.

The life structure of zombies is completely different from that of humans.

The existence of humans is individual consciousness; while zombies are the life of group consciousness. The zombies are not human corpses at all, but a large number of zombie viruses that have bred 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, it may give birth to a group consciousness.

You can think of it this way: a zombie is a country, and each virus is an individual. When all people gather together, a collective consciousness will be born - national consciousness, patriotism, etc.

It is the existence of group consciousness that makes the zombies "mutate" extremely quickly.

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

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

Zombies also have this situation.

However, most zombies only have instincts.

But there are some zombies with more advanced evolution, and the group consciousness has evolved a little wisdom, and then they can command the "virus" in the body to reorganize.

The result of the reorganization is that some zombies can transform into "rafts".

As for those who rob human rafts, they have evolved a certain amount of wisdom.

In addition, zombies are not very easy to kill.

If it is a human, cutting off hands and feet, piercing the stomach, etc., will not kill or be disabled. But zombies are not like that!

Generally, zombies can only be killed by smashing their heads.

But some zombies can still stand up even if their heads are chopped off. Although not many, there are still some!

Chu Fei had many questions about the zombies, but it was obvious that he needed to find someone to ask.

Hongcheng, the high wall that was fighting on the front line, was the best target for questioning.

Chu Fei no longer paid attention to the remaining zombies and flew directly to Hongcheng.

In the back, Feathered Serpent followed Chu Fei boredly, but still looked at the zombies below, with a flash of vigilance in his eyes.

Chu Fei's words rang in Feathered Serpent's mind: "Were you driven here by the zombies?"

"Yes." Feathered Serpent answered directly. After all, the alien beasts did not have as many tricks as humans, and there was no need to lie.

Chu Fei asked some more questions, but Feathered Serpent did not seem to be very sensitive to numbers, and could only answer limited questions in the end.

But even with limited answers, Chu Fei was still faintly frightened.

According to Feathered Serpent, these alien beasts living in the east, northeast, and even the north, suddenly had strange "people" break into their range not long after the last heavy snow.

These "strange people" are not only unpalatable, but will also die after eating. And there are "weird people" whose height exceeds that of trees, and even more powerful alien beasts are no match.

According to Quetzalcoatl's answer, Chu Fei pondered for a long time and gradually "translated" it.

The so-called "shortly after the last heavy snowfall" was the early spring of last year, before entering Dawn Academy, when he saw the Thunderbolt Land City.

And the "weird man" taller than the trees should be the "giant corpse" mentioned by Zhao Hongyue.

The giant corpse can be regarded as the awakened one among the zombies. The smallest one is more than ten meters tall, and there are records of hundreds of meters tall.

Especially those hundreds of meters tall, in order to support the heavy body, they often have many legs.

However, there is no more information about zombies.

Although Feihu City has also encountered several zombie tides, the threat is generally not great, and not much information has been collected.

All we know is that to deal with the zombie tide, we only need to use machine guns. In addition, the remains of the zombies must be burned.

While thinking, Chu Fei had already flown over the Changhe River, and then saw a scene that made people's scalps numb.

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

At the base of the Hongcheng city wall, there are hills of zombies climbing up the city wall.

Zombies keep crawling, stacking up in cones against the wall, and climbing up the city wall.

From time to time, fuel oil is poured down, igniting the "cones".

Or grenades fall, blowing up the zombies.

Occasionally, zombies suddenly awaken the ability of geckos, use their hands and feet to climb to the top of the city, and then are stabbed down by spears.

At the top of the high wall, there are cannons roaring, but the shortcomings of the cannons 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 use of spears on the city head, Hongcheng's military supplies should be a little tight.

But there are not only ordinary zombies in the zombie tide.

Here, Chu Fei saw:

There are giant corpses more than ten meters high. These giant corpses are extremely powerful and can even withstand ordinary rocket attacks. Although they will be seriously injured, their bodies will recover quickly, but they are just a little shorter;

There are zombies like the crawlers in horror movies. These things can still vaguely see a little human shadow, but they look like aliens. They crawl very fast and dodge flexibly. They are the main force for attacking the city;

There are zombies with bat-like flesh wings, each one is like a demon;

There are multi-headed "snakes", and "human bodies" are spliced ​​together to form an alternative "snake". Even if one or two heads are cut off, it will not affect the movement of this "snake"; even if it is blown off, it will turn into two individuals!

When Chu Fei was observing, a flying zombie found Chu Fei and turned to rush towards Chu Fei.

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

Normal human size, very thin or dry, but with thorny muscles all over the body, blue-black skin with a faint metallic luster, and sharp fangs.

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

Before approaching Chu Fei, a sharp and piercing scream suddenly broke out.

Instantly, a sound like glass scraping exploded, causing Chu Fei to frown slightly.

He actually knew how to attack with sound!

It was a pity that he met Chu Fei.

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

Chu Fei can easily adjust this resonance!

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

There is a huge heart in the chest of the zombie. 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. There are structures similar to the liver, lungs, stomach, and intestines. There are also brain structures and spinal cord structures.

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

What Chu Fei paid the most attention to was that there was a fist-sized "crystal core" in the chest of the zombie.

This should be an energy crystal. The zombie actually has a crystal core similar to that of an alien beast.

Human awakeners don't have this thing.

In short, this is a very well-evolved zombie!

It's a pity that the flying speed is too slow.

Chu Fei had this thought in his mind, but he still pulled out his long knife and cut off half of the zombie's wings with one knife. The zombie screamed and fell.

The scream attracted more zombies.

Chu Fei took a deep breath and looked at the more than 30 flying zombies swarming in. He said coolly: "Well, I came from afar and didn't bring any gifts. Let's use the record as a gift!"

At the same time, he ordered the feathered snake to stop causing trouble for himself and bully those zombies that can climb the wall.
