Wasteland Commander

Chapter 143 Zombie Evolution

Arrived in Qinghe County, Ye Fan was surprised to find that the city wall he left behind was much damaged.

The city wall has been standing here for a while, and it is riddled with holes.

These zombies used a spirit of water-dropping to pierce the stone, forcibly destroying the city wall.

This surprised Ye Fan.

It is difficult for ordinary zombies to destroy city walls. Those who can cause damage to city walls must at least be armored.

But when he looked at the city wall, it didn't look like it was made by zombies like iron armor.

 Because the city wall seems to have been corroded by something.

Traces of dark green liquid can be vaguely seen, which should be the main cause of corrosion of the city wall.

"What is this?"

Ye Fan looked around carefully and found that although the city wall was broken, it still blocked most of the bridge. There were not many zombies jumping over the city wall to this side of the river.

But the dozens or millions of zombies that were densely crowded around the bridge at the beginning are now much smaller.

 Maybe it’s because there hasn’t been anyone here for a long time, and the zombies slowly dispersed on their own.

Now I see someone coming again, and the zombies are starting to gather at the bridge again.

 The soldiers were very large in sniping zombies, so they immediately relied on the defenses left behind and entered their respective positions to start fighting.

 Ye Fan recycled the broken walls, the intact ones were recycled at half price, and this one was only a quarter.

 The battle begins.

Ye Fan did not pay attention to the battle, his eyes fell on the river.

I saw a zombie struggling in the river, climbing up the ice floe on the riverside.

This zombie's skin was white and swollen, and it had been soaked in the river for an unknown amount of time.

The zombie had no idea how much water it had drunk, and its belly was very big.

 The size is abnormal, much bigger than those pregnant women who are pregnant with twins in October!

 It was as if the belly was full of water.

This zombie fell down for a long time and got stuck at a bend in the river, but the water there was so fast that it couldn't get up.

 Now that the river is frozen, zombies have begun to try to leave the river.

 Because Wu Yun went to track those who **** the teacher, Ye Fan once again called a war eagle from the base.

This one is a female and has been promoted to the first star. Ye Fan named it Baiyun.

“Baiyun, fly up and see how many of these guys there are here.”

As the white clouds reached the sky, Ye Fan switched his perspective and discovered that there were at least thousands of these zombies in Qinghe County alone on this river.

“Are these water-soaked zombies the culprit causing the corrosion of the city wall?”

Ye Fan ordered the sniper to shoot at a pot-bellied zombie that had climbed ashore.

 The requirement is to shoot its belly, because this guy seems to have only one belly left.

 The sniper gunshot sounded, and the zombies exploded on the spot!

　　Bang~~~!

 A large ball of dark green water erupted, like a water bomb, covering an area of ​​about 20 meters around it!

Wherever the dark green water falls, a sheet of white smoke rises.

Those cement buildings are corroding rapidly under the attack of green water, which is shocking to see.

Green water splashed onto other zombies, and directly melted several holes in that zombie's body.

 “What’s this called? Bomb zombie?”

Ye Fan's heart tightened. If when 300,000 zombies attack the city, if such zombies appear and are thrown into the city or city walls as bombs, then there may be a question mark as to whether Shuguang City can be defended. .

Even if we can defend it, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

“This is a new type of zombie. I wonder if there are other types of zombies?”

Ordering Baiyun to fly deep into Qinghe County again, Ye Fan soon made a new discovery.

 There are more than a dozen meteorite craters, large and small, in the entire Qinghe County.

 Some of the original departments of power have become ruins.

And there are actually many zombies gathering around these craters.

Ye Fan saw a crater with hundreds of zombies gathered around it. The zombies on the periphery looked relatively strong, obviously stronger than ordinary zombies.

 In the middle position, mutated zombies began to appear.

 Or iron armor, or agile zombies.

 In the core area of ​​the crater, quasi-adamantine zombies and crawlers began to appear!

 It seems that it won’t be too long before level 2 zombies appear in the wild.

These evolving zombies are on the edge of the crater. The roar of guns in the distance does not allow them to move around at will. Evolution is more important to them.

Ye Fan also discovered that some zombies had undergone subtle changes.

Some zombies began to have bulges on their heads, and it felt like they were about to grow horns. Their original purpose was to attack survivors or birds hiding in trees or at high places. They often hit them with their heads, causing head injuries. There has been a change.

Some zombies' claws became huge and began to dig holes underground. Their original purpose was to find rats hiding underground, which led to the ability to dig holes.

 They will undergo different changes due to various reasons.

It was like white clouds passing by on the street, and some zombies even tried to jump up and catch the white clouds.

 Some of the zombies can even jump more than two meters high!

And there are not a few such zombies.

This strange evolutionary direction makes Ye Fan feel a little uneasy.

The world is changing, and zombies are gradually becoming more diverse.

The survivability of zombies is actually far higher than that of humans.

  Many of their internal organs have lost most of their functions.

 According to Wang Huining's explanation, zombies only need a small amount of air to breathe.

 They need a little water, and the main thing they need to maintain is the brain. As long as the brain does not die, they will not die.

 Eating is an instinct for them, but it is not absolute.

 As long as they have a little bit of food, they can survive outside for a month or more.

 Without food, they are like turtles, able to enter a state of suspended animation at any time to keep energy from being lost.

 When they need to wake up, they can wake up immediately.

Although I haven't seen a commanding zombie like Wang Huining in Qinghe yet, Ye Fan knows that that day will definitely not be far away.

Once commanding zombies appear, with more and more types of zombies, they can definitely form a team more terrifying than Wang Huining.

 At that time, Shuguang City will definitely face new tests.

After walking around Qinghe, Ye Fan knew that it would be difficult for him to eliminate the zombies in Qinghe in winter.

There are more than two million zombies here, and the river is gradually freezing.

Once the river is completely frozen, the zombies here can pass through the river on the ice, and then there will be no point in blocking the bridge.

 At present, it seems that it will not be more than a week before the river completely freezes.

 “You can kill as many as you can within a week.”

Shuguang City is actually directly adjacent to rivers on two sides, the Qixing River is on the east side, and there is a river 30 kilometers to the south.

There are also rivers coming to Qinghe River in the northwest. If these rivers are frozen, then Dawn City’s natural protection will be gone.

 At that time, the Dawn Army may have to adopt a defensive posture.

 The fighting lasted from noon to 2:30 in the afternoon.

Approximately 30,000 zombies fell under the guns of the soldiers. Ye Fan once again erected a wall to block the bridge here.

 Jewelry collection is proceeding quickly.

 In the end, what ended up in Ye Fan's hands was more than 40,000 gold.

The soldiers did not have much bullets. Ye Fan asked everyone to move back so as not to attract the attention of the corpses, and then stationed themselves on the spot.

 The cooking class starts cooking. When the bullets are refreshed tomorrow, they can clean up again.

 After Ye Fan had eaten, it was only at four o'clock in the afternoon that he finally got the request from the dark cloud to cut into the perspective.

It’s not that the dark clouds are slow, but that the people followed by the dark clouds are slow. It’s only now that they have returned to their base.

Ye Fan cut into Dark Cloud's perspective and quickly saw the situation below.

Those people crossed the vast snowfield and walked in the mountains.

 In a valley in the Xing'an Mountains, he saw a cave entrance.

This is not a natural cave. The entrance to the cave is actually a cement building, which looks very old.

 “This is...a bomb shelter?”

The entrance to the cave is very large, and there are people going in and out.

These people are collecting some dry firewood, presumably to save it for the winter.

There are some mountain bikes parked at the entrance of the cave, which are their means of transportation. In such a big mountain, many mechanized vehicles are impractical.

There are no fortifications here. The cave is mainly an entrance and exit, and there are some small windows for ventilation, like a huge honeycomb.

 This should be what they call the cave base.

This place is actually not too far away from the city of Shuguang Army, no more than 80 kilometers, but outside the radar range, Ye Fan has never discovered this place.

At this time, the men who were escorting Wu Ting and Zhou Bingtian had just returned to the entrance of the cave.

"Professor Wu!"

 “Ah! Zhou Bingtian, you are actually injured!”

Several people beside the cave took the initiative to speak to Wu Ting and Zhou Bingtian. Ye Fan immediately recognized the people who spoke, and they were all his high school classmates.

The classmates who used to be sunny and cheerful are now as embarrassed as beggars.

 Their clothes are tattered and dirty, and many of them are not wearing cotton-padded clothes.

 In order to resist the cold, they even tied themselves with woven straw.

 Sallow complexion, thin skin, and malnutrition are the true portrayal of this group of students.

The man who came back looked at these classmates and suddenly ordered: "From now on, each of Wu Ting's students must collect at least 500 kilograms of dry firewood every day! If we can't finish it in one day, we will kill one person, and if we can't finish it in three days, we will kill three." Personally, Wu Ting, when will your research make progress and when will you stop, otherwise you will watch all your students die!"

Wu Ting wanted to resist, but after taking a look at the students, she finally lowered her head weakly.

“Take her to the laboratory and don’t release her until there is no progress.”

Someone dragged Wu Ting away, and the injured Zhou Bingtian was thrown directly to the ground.

 Others around him didn’t even dare to watch, and they were all doing their own work.

The classmates gathered around Zhou Bingtian, and some girls couldn't help crying.

 Seeing this, Ye Fan withdrew his gaze.

If you haven’t encountered it, forget it. Now that you have encountered it, there is nothing more to say.

 It’s time for me to show up.
