Ji Nanze put the limp Zou Tu on the straw mat, and turned to Zhou Xiu, who was unconscious.

"They're coming soon, maybe it's presumptuous, but, Ms. Zhou, I want to leave him in your care temporarily. If anything goes wrong, please stay away from him. I..." He glanced at Zou on the ground On the way, he couldn't help reaching out and stroking his hair, "I'll lure them away to ensure your safety."

Saying that, before Zhou Xiu could respond, Ji Nanze ran out of the stone house.

He didn't know if Zhou Xiu could understand what he meant, but he didn't trust Zou Tu to be alone, let alone just sit and wait for death.

The leader of the search team swept the torches across the sky, and saw a figure running directly from the slums to the southern part of the civilian area.

"Found it! Someone is here!"

Human yelling and footsteps clung to his back.When he shouted, almost all the residents who saw the long line rushed up.But for Ji Nanze, his opponents are just some old and young women and children who live underground all year round, and they basically do not cause any harm to him.And those young men who were chasing him couldn't compare with him.

He has been active outdoors all year round, seeking survival gaps among various zombies and infected creatures. These people's physical and psychological abilities are completely unable to pose a threat to him.Ji Nanze didn't even take a breath when he ran for a whole street, with the flames shining in the sky behind him.He ran fast, reacted swiftly, and his sustained explosive power completely opened the distance between the crowd and him in an instant.

When he reached the corner, he braked sharply and dodged, his hamstrings stretched to the extreme, and the soles of his feet began to ache.Between the black shadows and the continuously projected firelight, his figure disappeared without a trace in an instant.This made those people lose their target directly.

"Where did he go? Where did he go?"

"I won't run far, just search nearby! The elder said that he must never be allowed to bring the secret back to the ground!"

Ji Nanze took a deep breath.

The layout of the four parts of the civilian area is basically the same, and they are all stone-built houses without any characteristics.The only characteristic is that all the residents here are working together to search for the two outsiders who learned the most filthy and filthy truth about Matsutake Sanctuary and rejected the elder's invitation.

He knew that once they were found, they would probably die here.

Ji Nanze had already tried his best to divert their attention away from the slums, while walking forward in the dark to find a hiding place, while thinking about what Zhou Xiu said last.Although the meaning is unclear, Zhou Xiu said that the exit of the shelter is in the square.

However, her description of the exit is full of doubts, and the word "jump down" is worth digging deeper.This is an underground facility. If they want to return to the ground, they should go up instead of going to the lower level of the shelter.According to his general observation of the square, the matsutake refuge is a distributed residence centered on the square, and the outermost part is a slum, and the houses surrounded by it are the residences of ordinary people.

Could the exit be near someone else's residence?

But he couldn't figure it out. According to Zhou Xiu, the elder seemed to have kept the "monster" near the exit.This exit, unlikely to be in a residential area, is too risky.

Ji Nanze pondered, hiding his body in the shadow of the trash can as much as possible.These stone houses are almost next to each other. In order to save costs, there will be no distance between them.Therefore, people tend to pile up rubbish behind the stone houses, the shelter environment is poor, and even in civilian areas, people are accompanied by rats all day long.

Oddly, none of the rats in the shelter showed any obvious tendency to mutate.

Even the people who ate the corpses of infected people here, except for the moss and skin ulcers on the epidermis, behaved as if they had never been in contact with the source of infection.Is it true that as Zou Tu guessed, the cooked zombies will greatly reduce their own infectivity?And the flame is the best way to solve all this?

No, probably not.If this is the case, the infection virus will be quickly suppressed.But until now, the infection is still raging around the world.

What exactly is the infection's weakness.

He couldn't figure it out.

"I saw him go here! Where is he?"

"Maybe ahead, don't stop, they won't run far!"

Ji Nanze squatted in a pile of rotten kitchen waste, a long strip of flames passed by the stone house in front of him, and the gaps in the loose bricks and tiles leaked dazzling flames.He held his breath, and pushed the skeleton away a little, without making any movement.He murmured and counted, confirming the number of young people walking past the stone house.

He had seen it in the main hall before, and there were 24 young people beside the elder.Now, there are a total of six people walking past his eyes.

The Matsutake Refuge is divided into four parts. If he puts all his manpower into the search and assigns six people to one area, then speaking, there should be no protective measures around the elder.In other words, if he can take this opportunity to reach the elder, it may be the moment when he is most isolated and helpless.What Ji Nanze wanted to know was the information exported by the shelter.

An aimless search is doomed to failure.It is impossible for the elders to be unaware of the size of the shelter, nor the risks involved.

And what is he most afraid of.

It was they who left the sanctuary.

Therefore, he or his people will definitely be waiting for them at the exit.

It must be so.

Thinking of this, Ji Nanze pulled out the dagger from his belt, took a deep breath, and walked slowly through the garbage, following the tail of the team in the dark.While holding his breath, he looked at the physical fitness and condition of these people. Perhaps the underground life had indeed weakened a large part of them.But for Ji Nanze, it was very difficult to deal with so many people.

To calm down such a scene, only Zou Tu has the ability.

However, Zou Tu's current situation is even more difficult than him, and he only hopes that Zou Tu can survive.It's not that he's unrealistic, it's not that he has fantasies and extravagant hopes, it's that he has always believed that Zou Tu's heart is stronger than anyone else's.He will not lose to anyone, he will definitely be able to carry it.

He just followed them silently, until at the corner, he made a sudden move, his elbow strangled the throat of the last person walking, forcing him to be unable to make a sound, and dragged silently into the garbage dump.Ji Nanze didn't have the ability of Zou Tu, and the movement lasted for more than a minute before he finally strangled the man unconscious.He finally breathed a sigh of relief, laid the opponent's body flat, pinched his nose and quickly took off his khaki robe, and put it on himself indiscriminately.

He pulled the hood back and fingers combed his hair back into a small loose braid.He tried his best to hide his face, and then he reached the next corner. While everyone was not paying attention, he silently returned to the team.He kept silent, just listening to those people chatting without saying a word.

"Have they run away?"

"We can't hand them over to others. Those people outside...after hearing what happened here, they will definitely try their best to ruin our lives!"

"Don't let the outsiders go, they don't know anything, they only believe what they see with their own eyes. They don't even understand how happy we are, not afraid of hunger, not afraid of danger, they should envy us. Not meaningless resist."

"But they are not here, brothers, we should report to the elders. They may have gone to other areas."

"If someone catches one of them and brings it to me, I'll chew up his face and swallow it..."

"Listen well, if we don't find it, we will empty out the people in this area. You know, the elders will definitely support us. This is the best way to save rations."

"Shh, take it easy, don't be heard by those civilians."

Save food?Someone who cleared the entire area without finding them?Ji Nanze sensed something was wrong from their words.

If they don't show up, the ordinary residents of the shelter will become victims?

His chest heaved violently, and cold sweat broke out from his forehead.

If he did nothing but sit and wait to die, then Zou Tu might also be affected.

But if he really fell into the trap, what would Zou Tu do?

Will he leave here alone?

Can he really be safe?

He had to take risks, he had to take the initiative into his own hands.

He had to grit his teeth and hold on.

This team soon arrived at the center of the square.

Ji Nanze raised his hood a little and looked around the entire square.The refuge has mobilized the greatest manpower to search for outsiders, so now most people have spontaneously joined it.The elder, surrounded by a few residents, was located in the middle of the square.He was leaning on a cane, and the creases of his face were illuminated by the firelight.

He looked down at his feet, and his feet were the circular depression in the center of the square when Ji Nanze and the others passed by the square for the first time.

Ji Nanze frowned subconsciously, and he felt that the answer might be revealed soon.

"Elder, we didn't find them." The leader stepped forward, expressing regret.

The old man looked at the ground and replied: "Go ahead, we must find them. As long as we stay here, those ignorant young people will never be able to leave the shelter. We will find them, it is only a matter of time. Don't be lazy, child They. Remember, everything we do is for their safety, and we have plenty of meat, which is given to us by God."

"Yes." The man lowered his head, greeted them back, and signaled them to go back and search for outsiders.

The team walked around the elder, and everyone nodded to the elder.After showing respect to the elders, the search will resume.Ji Nanze was at the end of the line, his eyes locked on the elder.He knows that the moment when the distance is getting closer is the moment when everyone relaxes their vigilance the most, and it is also the only time for him to make a move.

"Find them, children." The crutches tapped the ground again and again, and the elder was extremely anxious, "These lost outsiders must be found, and they must learn to accept us and learn to understand... This is the right thing to do, isn't it? Those who should be feared and despised, understand?"

Everyone was nodding, but Ji Nanze subconsciously clenched the dagger on his cuff.

Just as he walked behind the elder, everyone's attention was focused on the elder's teaching for a moment. With a movement of his footsteps, the hand holding the knife exerted force instantly, and the tip of the dagger touched the old man's artery a few centimeters in front.Now, with a little effort, he can cut through the arteries with little effort.And considering the limited medical conditions and environment of the refuge, as long as he goes down with the knife, this elder will definitely become a dead soul from the knife.

It's not that he didn't dare to kill, nor did he dare to bear the responsibility.

He just had to.

Ji Nanze hid his almost perfect face in the shadow of the hood, his voice was low, with a cold deterrent force.

"Do not move."
