doomsday seclusion

There are two reasons why humans kill zombies but do not take their crystal nuclei: one is that they cannot be collected, and the other is that they cannot be collected in time.

The former is because they killed level-[-] zombies, and the scattered nuclei in their brains are too small to pick them out one by one; But there is no time to dig out the crystal nucleus.

No matter what the situation is, it will cause serious consequences. Once the zombie dies, the body will gradually rot, and when it reaches a certain level, the crystal nucleus will be revealed, and then swallowed by its companions.

In the early days of the end of the world, because human beings were unable to collect scattered cores, they allowed the corpses to rot, which resulted in the rapid appearance of first-level zombies.Later, because it was discovered that crystal nuclei can upgrade supernatural beings, zombies were hunted and killed in large numbers. However, after people dug up the brain nuclei of zombies, they took any crystal nuclei, and discarded "no crystal nuclei", resulting in zero-level Zombies exposed scattered nuclei without exposure to corruption, which accelerated the growth of first-level zombies.

Afterwards, although the evolution rate of the first-level zombies was slowed down due to the digging of crystal nuclei by humans, it still failed to prevent the birth of the second-level and third-level zombies. thing.

Especially the evolution of zombies in this world is very fast, it seems that even God is on the sidelines.

I don't think the second mutation will treat everyone equally. The crystal nucleus structure of zombies is different from that of supernatural beings, and the energy that can cause evolution may not affect the brains of ordinary people and supernatural beings.

What the result is, we still have to wait for the mutation to know.

Of course, the best situation is that everyone evolves at the same time, but whether the fact will be as people wish...

Being too fuzzy, I didn't realize that driving like this was very dangerous at all, so the car drove onto the separation island without dodging or avoiding, and ran over a row of low bushes.

The pen that was writing on the note page drew a long, twisted line horizontally.

"Sorry." I quickly drove the car back on the right track.

"If I don't know how to drive, let me do it." Zhuo in the passenger seat raised his head with a cold expression.

"It's just a small mistake." I smiled, since it was my fault, there was nothing to hide, so I apologized frankly.

As I thought, although Zhuo was gloomy, he was not unreasonable.After being silent for a while, he stiffly obliterated the destroyed text, turned a page and continued writing.

It's just that look, no matter how you look at it, it's like being forced to write a love letter with a knife.

Hiding a trace of a smile, I turned my attention back to the front. This time, I naturally stopped distracting and focused on driving.

More than 20 minutes later, the car drove into the front yard parking lot of the combined housing company.

For safe bases, the demand for building materials is as tight as food, but food has a shelf life, so it is listed as a priority search item, followed by building materials that promote the development of the base, but they can also be exchanged for expensive credits from the government. .

Therefore, the building materials company usually became the target of the surviving teams after the food factory, not to mention that it would be looted soon, and even ordinary houses, usable stone bricks and tiles were often removed and taken away.

The use of modular houses is far greater than that of general building materials. As long as the materials are not damaged, they can be moved in immediately after the assembly is completed, which is extremely convenient.If the company I visited had been located in the outskirts of the city, it would have been removed within seven days of the end of the world.

But now, the zombies wandering around in the courtyard showed that no one had visited this place yet. After Zhuo Moran glanced at them, he turned all the moving crystal nuclei into his own energy.

"Let's go." I said.

The display area is just next to the reception room, covering a vast area and a semi-open-air environment. When I came back, there were six sample houses with different styles on display. Because of different uses, the size also changed.The house I need is used as a warehouse, so the layout is mainly simple and square, and the shape is second.

Zhuo followed behind without saying a word. Compared with the environment here, he was more interested in zombies. Pursuing the way of the strong is almost the instinct of every supernatural person, and he is not immune to this.

"there's noise."

When he passed the reception room, he suddenly stopped his progress and looked at the closed door with burning eyes.

I don't understand, does the so-called "sound" refer to the short breathing of the zombies, or the sound made when they collide with objects?

But soon, I understood what he meant.

Without saying a word, he violently tore open the door leaf with his thoughts, and behind him, a man was half-hiding behind the wall, crouching and shivering uncontrollably.

"Don't, don't kill me... I'm human!" He was so nervous that he could hardly speak.

At this time, there are still living people here?

I was very surprised, and felt that his face seemed a little familiar, so I took a closer look and recognized it after a while.

"It's you." It turned out to be the business manager who received me when I bought the modular house.

The originally chubby man, after dozens of days of the apocalypse, has become so thin that he has lost his shape. His hair is disheveled and he has no time to comb it. There are a few wrinkles around the corners of his eyes, and the dirty suit on his body is even looser and tattered. Unbearable.

"Ah... I remember!" He seemed to recognize me, "You are the one who paid triple the price for the house!"

"It's me." I nodded, "Why are you still here? Didn't the military send anyone to search?"

If the future does not change much from what I know, three days after the end of the world, the military will send several teams to rescue some important people in the city, and call on the survivors to go to a safe base. Most of the people who still have the ability to move , is to evacuate together at this time.

Who knows that if I don't ask, it's all right. When I asked, his eyes immediately turned red.

"Here they come, but they only care about saving those high-ranking military and political leaders who are not engaged in production. We ordinary people can only follow behind the convoy. Those who can escape will go to the safe base, and those who cannot escape will continue to be trapped in the city. "

"Why don't you run away?" I looked at the front yard, where a black imported high-end car was parked. It looked intact and very glamorous.

"He escaped, but he couldn't escape." Zhuo said, "Now he wants to die, but dare not die."

I half understood what I heard, and always felt that there was something in his words.

"If you want," I considered, "I can take you near the safe base."

It is fate to meet here, and he must be trapped here because of his own reasons. Anyway, Zhuo and I have to go out of the city, so it is not a big problem to help.

It's just that before departure, I'm afraid he has to be stunned in advance, so as not to reveal the existence of the repellant.

"Thank you...but there's no need for it." He wiped his face, his face was full of fatigue, and there was no gleam in his eyes. "If you really want to help me, just give me some food and water."

"It's just drinking poison to quench your thirst."

"I know, but I'm just thinking about the day to day." He pulled out an ugly smile. "By the way, what are you doing here?"

He obviously didn't want to continue the original topic, so he changed the subject and asked why we came.

I saw that he was so determined, and I didn't want to force it, but if this continues, it is foreseeable that he will die soon.

Although I am not a saint, but watching a drowning man would rather lie to himself while climbing a lifeboat that is gradually deflated, but ignore the rope leading to the shore, while lamenting his ignorance, he can't help but feel sad.

After telling him the purpose of his trip, he nodded, pointed to the display area and said, "There are still five sample houses over there. Take any one you like and take it away. You can also dismantle all of them. The truck is parked in There, with a full gas tank and an empty trunk, it’s not a problem to fit one house at a time.”

As he spoke, he took a few steps forward and pointed us to the location of the forty-foot container truck in the front yard.When he saw the dead zombies all over the ground, his small eyes couldn't help but widen slightly.

"Brains without crystal nuclei are just rubbish." Zhuo suddenly said, "It has no use other than filling the stomach."

"You eat zombies for a living? Supernatural beings?" I was surprised, but when I saw his guilty look, I immediately understood: "No, you feed zombies!"

"I...I..." He was sweating profusely, speechless.
