Li Jian rubbed his frozen face, glanced at the wooden house, and said, "Professor, something happened in Dragon City, the commander asked me to invite you back."

"What happened? What happened that forced me to go back?" Jian Shu frowned. The relationship between him and Ji Xi had just eased, so he didn't want to go back at this time.

Li Jian glanced at Ji Xi and said: "There was a murder case in Longcheng No. [-] Middle School. The death was unusual. They were all sucked dry of blood. Everyone had two deep bite marks on their necks. It's the same as the case of being bitten to death by a vampire in the movie. The commander was afraid that this murder case was related to the previous zombie virus, so he directly had the corpse pulled into the laboratory, and hoped that the professor would go back as soon as possible to find out the condition of the corpse."

Ji Xi was stunned, and his heart sank a little bit. Could it be that they were the same as himself, because the zombie virus in their bodies had mutated, so that they didn't die, and turned into monsters with neither human nor ghost?Then will he become a vampire like those people?

Seeing that Ji Xi's face became ugly, Jian Shu pushed Li Jian to the side and said, "You are not allowed to move here, I will tell Ji Xi a few words, and I will go back with you."

Li Jian glanced at the wooden house, sighed resignedly, and said, "Okay, professor, hurry up, the road in the mountain is not easy to walk when the snow melts, we have to try our best to go down the mountain before dark."

"Got it." Jian Shu turned around and walked towards Ji Xi, pulling him into the wooden house.

Ji Xi said, "Go back, find out the truth, and see if the murderer is a monster like me."

Jian Shu frowned and said, "Ji Xi, don't say that, you are different from them."

"What's the difference?" Ji Xi said with a wry smile, "You don't have to worry, I won't give up on myself, no one wants to live more than me."

"Well, I'll come back after I find out the truth." Jian Shu paused, and then said, "I'll send people into the mountain to deliver something, and you don't have to worry about it. You can take whatever they send, and you don't need to pay anything." psychological burden."

Ji Xi nodded and said calmly, "Okay, let's go, be careful on the road."

Jian Shu hugged Ji Xi reluctantly, and said, "Ji Xi, wait for me to come back."

No matter how reluctant Jian Shu was, he went down the mountain because he knew his responsibility. Before meeting Ji Xi again, he would not have thought that there were still zombies alive. After all, since the indiscriminate spraying of drugs, a large number of zombies died. The city was very peaceful for the next year, and no new zombies appeared.But now the successive murders, as well as the horrific and bizarre deaths, have to remind Jianshu of those zombies hidden in human beings who survived because of the mutation of the virus in their bodies.

After Jian Shu left, the originally crowded wooden house seemed a bit empty, especially after hearing the news, Ji Xi couldn't calm down in his heart. He thought the disaster was over, but he didn't expect that there was still a huge crisis lurking in the human world.He is not a saint, nor does he have the ability to save human beings. All he can do is try his best not to hurt anyone.He wanted to live, but if his life would bring disaster to human beings, he would lose the courage to live, so Ji Xi lived in panic these few days.

"Ji Xi, Ji Xi, here I come."

Ji Xi, who was in a daze, looked at the door, and a figure pushed the door and walked in. It was Wang Han.

"Wang Han, why are you here? Don't you have class today?" Wang Han's arrival made Ji Xi, who was in a daze, relax a little.

"Ji Xi, I haven't been here for two weeks, why do I feel like you don't miss me?" Wang Han's tone was full of dissatisfaction.

"Has it been two weeks? How fast it has passed! Are you here today for a holiday?" Ji Xi was in a daze again.

"That's right. It's approaching the New Year now, and the school is already on holiday." Wang Han sensed that Ji Xi was wrong, and asked concerned: "Ji Xi, what's wrong with you?"

Ji Xi came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, but I've always been distracted recently. How about it, are you still used to school life? Are all your former classmates still there?"

Wang Han frowned slightly, seeing Ji Xi's expression didn't seem to be all right at all, but he just didn't want to say anything.Although he was a little unhappy, he smartly didn't ask any more questions, and replied: "There is nothing I am used to or not. After all, I have lived on campus for the past ten years. As for the classmates, I don't see a few familiar faces anymore. The original There are eight classes, and now there are only three left, the number of people is pitifully small."

Ji Xi sighed and said, "It's a blessing to survive, you should cherish it, and everything will be fine."

"Will it be okay?" Wang Han paused and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it."

Ji Xi asked casually: "What's the matter, did something happen?"

Wang Han was silent for a while, and said: "There was a murder case in the school. Three students died, all from our class. After the police arrived, they sealed off the scene and asked us to keep it secret. We were not allowed to disclose any information about the case, otherwise we would be killed." Deal with dropout."

"Murder? How did they die? Will you be in danger?"

Seeing Ji Xi's nervous expression, the trace of dissatisfaction in his heart just now disappeared, and he said:

"Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just that the death of those few people is too weird. There are two round holes in their necks, which are very deep. There are some blood stains beside the holes, as if they were killed by zombies in movies, or It’s like biting a vampire. Their skin is dry and their eye sockets protrude, and they look like mummified corpses. The strangest thing is that there is no drop of blood found at the scene.”

"Have you been to the scene?"

"Well, almost everyone in our class saw the body. We found the body on the morning of the 25th when we went to class. The students were all terrified, and the teacher called the police. Afterwards, the police sealed off the scene and hurriedly transported the body away. Let’s go, warn everyone in the class one by one, no one is allowed to disclose information, especially the media.”

"Is it because of this that your school is on holiday?"

"Well, although I didn't say it clearly, everyone knows it well. The school is on vacation and the students go home. Even if something happens again, it is not the responsibility of the school." Wang Han's tone was full of sarcasm.

Ji Xi was silent for a while, then said, "Apart from your school, have you heard of other similar cases?"

"Yes." Wang Han lowered his voice subconsciously, and said, "I don't know if I was unlucky. Not only did my school have an accident, but the neighborhood where my family lives also had an accident. The house where the accident happened is still in our unit building."

"There was also a murder case?"

"Well. A man, about 30 years old, was found drowned in his own bathtub. It was said to be drowned, but there was no water in the bathtub, even his body was dry."

"How do you know you were drowned?"

"Paper can't hold the fire. Now it's spread all over the Internet, and the forensic report is posted on the Internet. After the man died, he was disemboweled and his internal organs were removed. Compared with the case in our school, it was extremely bloody. The government The department is afraid of causing panic and doesn't want this matter to go out. It's a pity that we are in the Internet age. Although we have experienced the catastrophe, the time is short. It is impossible to wipe out all the previous developments. It is impossible to completely cover up. Now upload it on the Internet There was an uproar, and many people speculated that those murders were not done by humans."

Ji Xi smiled wryly and said, "Hearing what you said, it really doesn't look like a human being."

Wang Han was taken aback, and quickly explained: "Ji Xi, don't think about it, I don't mean anything else."

Ji Xi shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's a fact that I'm not human. Since I can survive, there are others who can survive, and they may be responsible for these cases."

"Ji Xi, you are different from them. You are kind and strong, which many human beings can't match." Wang Han suddenly laughed and said, "Isn't there a saying that 'the most terrifying thing is not ghosts, but the human heart' Well, I've always felt that this sentence is very true."

"Then what did the government department say to the outside world?"

"Just say that the case is still under investigation, and when the truth is found out, I will give an explanation to the public." Wang Han smiled mockingly, and then changed the subject: "Ji Xi, it's too dangerous outside. It's up to you."

Ji Xi was taken aback, and said with a smile, "Did you bring enough clothes this time? Don't freeze again at night."

"It's enough, I'm well prepared this time, I even brought my electric blanket, hehe." Wang Han pointed to the three big bags beside him, and said with a sense of accomplishment: "In order to get these things, I have to I'm exhausted, but when I think of spending the New Year with you, I feel that this tiredness is nothing at all."

"Okay, as long as you don't dislike the shabby place here, you can live here if you want. It happened that Jianshu sent a few barrels of gasoline yesterday, which is enough to last until the end of the New Year."

Judging from Ji Xi's tone, it seemed that he and Jian Shu had already reconciled, Wang Han's eyes flashed, and he asked directly: "Ji Xi, are you soft-hearted and reconciled with Jian Shu?"

"Well, I've never liked resentment. Forgiving is much easier than resentment. Since it's doomed not to leave this mountain in this life, it's better to let yourself live more easily."

"Doomed? Why is it doomed, why is it doomed?" Wang Han frowned and said, "Ji Xi, you never accept fate, why did you admit it this time? What kind of ecstasy soup did Jian Shu give you?"

Ji Xi was silent for a while, and said: "Jian Shu said that he has done research on my blood samples. The reason why I didn't die was because the zombie virus in my body had mutated, but it was still contagious. He trapped me here , but also for the whole of mankind.”

"Impossible!" Wang Han looked very excited and said, "Ji Xi, don't listen to him, he is lying to you."

"Lie to me? Why do you say that?"

Wang Han was startled, and then explained: "Ji Xi, think about the murders I told you about, especially the one in our school, if someone like you committed the crime, then why didn't the dead Dead body change? Ji Xi, Jian Shu must have lied to you."

Ji Xi fell silent. What Wang Han said made sense. If those people were killed by mutants like him, they would definitely be infected. Why is there no corpse transformation?

"Maybe I'm different from them..." Ji Xi didn't want to believe that Jian Shu was lying to him.

"Ji Xi, why don't you believe me? That man Jian Shu deals with people in the political circle all day long. It's not as simple as it seems on the surface. He must have trapped you here because he wants to get something from you. Don't worry." Forget, he is a biologist, and you are just one of his experiments."

Wang Han's words planted the seeds of doubt in Ji Xi's heart, but before he was sure, he didn't want to easily deny someone.
