Some are like men, with their backs attached to the rhizomes, and their backs are fused with the rhizomes, while others are facing the rhizomes, with their entire body attached to the rhizomes and fused with them.
There is another one, except for half of its head and a pair of feet that are flying in the air, all of which are fused with the roots!
"Are these people... the survivors who came up from downstairs?" Wang Hu asked when he saw Li Yuanxu looking at the poor egg with only half of his head outside the root.
It's so scary. Everyone is alive, including this one who only has half his head left!
The foundation can assist the activities of these people's hearts and other organs, but there is no way to provide these people with oxygen, etc.
Therefore, no matter what posture they are in, the noses of these rhizome-fused people are always exposed!
Wang Hu just learned from Li Yuanxu's mouth that although these people are now completely unaware of the outside world and can only breathe their last breath, maybe in the beginning, these people could sense themselves!
Perhaps the rhizome secretes some special substance that puts these people into a special, comatose state. It is also possible that these people's brains are forced to fall into a coma in order to protect themselves!
Otherwise, no normal person would be able to accept that he and the wood are fused together and are unable to move. Let’s not talk about it for the moment. In this place with almost no sunshine and no companions, anyone would probably go crazy!
"Are there survivors downstairs?" Li Yuanxu shook his head, "I don't know."
Along the way, they saw at least thirty people merging with the roots!
However, there is no way to know how many survivors there are downstairs, they are foreigners, and they naturally do not know the origin and identity of the fused people on the rhizome.
Li Yuanxu said, "But I thought of another thing."
Wang Hu: "What?"
Wu Xinghuo also came over curiously.
"No, in fact, this layer of rhizomes is almost the size of half a person, unless it is a place with people..." Li Yuanxu pointed to the rhizomes attached to the wall and said.
"Is there anything special about this? There are rhizomes downstairs that are half the size of a person, and there are even rhizomes that are only twenty or thirty centimeters in diameter," Wu Xinghuo said in confusion.
Wang Hu also carefully looked at the rhizome in front of him. He moved his eyes away from the small half of the head on the rhizome. "The diameter of the place where there are people is scary...the diameter of the place where there is no one is only half the height of a person..."
His body suddenly trembled!
Li Yuanxu glanced sideways at him: "Do you understand?"
Wang Hu nodded stiffly.
Wu Xinghuo was confused on one side. He didn't have the courage to ask Li Yuanxu, so he pulled Wang Hu and said, "What do you understand?"
"Don't you think it's too coincidental? In this layer, all the rhizomes in the unfused positions are half the size of a person. Only the rhizomes in the fused positions are suitable for one person." Wang Hu looked at the wall with complicated eyes. On top, the rhizome is so huge that the distance between its top and bottom is almost more than two meters.
"If it is after 'capturing' a person, the rhizome expands to the size of a person..." Wang Hu looked at Wu Xinghuo.
After hearing this, the latter suddenly frowned: "You mean, downstairs?"
Although Wu Xinghuo felt that he was well-informed and brave enough to break someone's legs before the end, but at this moment, he still felt a little shuddering.
Not only him, but the people who stayed near Li Yuanxu also looked at Rhizome. Some even swallowed their saliva and said, "How many people have died on these floors?"
In this layer, the positions with fused people can all be within one to two meters wide. It's like... it's not that the rhizome just has the right position to fuse the person, but the rhizome intentionally generates enough positions to fuse the person. !
There are only three or two positions that are empty, but the diameter is so wide that it scares people... But is there really no one?
Could it be that...there was once a person, but now he has completely integrated into the rhizome! ?
Then the common width of the rhizomes in the 50th and 51st layers is more than 1.6 meters, and fluctuates within 1.9 meters. There are only a few places where it is only 20 to 30 centimeters, and they are all at the edge of the rhizomes, which is obviously the location of new growth.
If the conjecture is correct, and all locations with a width of more than one and a half meters have been fused with people, then how many bodies of human survivors are there in these three floors, in the rhizomes that are all over the walkways and office space?
Along the way, none of the people fused within the rhizome were zombies, they were all humans!
…
Li Yuanxu waved his hand and recalled the people who were deep in thought while pressing the rhizome. The group speeded up and looked at this layer inside and out, making sure that there were no other abnormalities except the 'human survivors fused rhizomes' , everyone came to the location of the escape passage.
But here, the group did not rush upstairs, but waited for the woman to come up with the five people who stayed on the next floor.
Li Yuanxu looked at the woman and asked, "Before the end, where did you live and did you work here?"
The woman was stunned, not knowing why she suddenly asked herself this, but she still said honestly, "I live over there in Cangshan District and don't work here."
"What's your job? How did you get here after the apocalypse?" Li Yuanxu narrowed his eyes.
Cangshan District is not close to here, and the extreme cold and snowstorm started at eight o'clock in the morning. In other words, if it is not necessary for work, basically people from Cangshan District will not come here.
"What do I do? I just graduated and I don't have a job. I live at home..." the woman replied honestly, but the next moment, she frowned, "Yeah, how did I get here?"
The woman murmured, covering her head as if she was caught in some kind of situation.
Li Yuanxu frowned and checked again and again to make sure that the woman had really lost the memory of how she came to this building!
Although the extreme cold snow disaster is terrifying, not many people actually freeze to death. The main cause of human death is hunger and the inherent problems of human beings themselves, such as some daily needed medicines!
At first, Li Yuanxu thought that gathering dozens or hundreds of people in this building was not a big deal, but when he thought about rhizome-fused human survivors, there were three floors from the 50th floor to the 52nd floor!
There are probably more than three to four hundred human survivors who died in the rhizome!
In addition to the infected and transformed zombies they killed in the past two days, there are probably more than four figures of human survivors gathered in this building!
"If you don't think about it, don't think about it," Li Yuanxu said when he saw that the woman was getting more and more painful as she thought about it.
The woman waited for a while before giving directions to her hands holding her head in confusion.
"There are...well, there are many victims in this floor. You'd better be mentally prepared when you go in!" Li Yuanxu said.
He had no intention of delving further into the question of the woman's origin.
