Ma Long and Zhang Jike have lost their ability to move, and it is still unknown whether they can recover. Facing such potential threats outside the community, everyone seems to have lost their backbone. They all feel chills in their hearts and their legs and feet are weak.
Lu Yu saw everyone's performance and frowned. Lu Yu knew in his heart that he could no longer sit back and just wait and see what would happen.
"Go and ask Zhang Jike. He must know something about the changes in zombies. We need to get more information and make response plans based on this."
Lu Yu once again resumed his role as the commander, giving confidence and support to the panicked people. He deeply understood that in times of crisis, panic often makes the situation worse.
In fact, when you really face a dilemma, a solution will always appear, but people will always be affected by emotions and have a herd mentality, which will lead to errors in judgment.
For example, when people encounter a huge threat, such as an earthquake or fire, they are often infected by the emotions of the people around them during the escape process and become more panicked.
Even if they retreat in an orderly manner and can all evacuate in a short period of time, extreme panic will always lead to people huddling together, blocking escape routes, and even stampedes.
"Xiao Lu, what Xiao Ran meant just now is that the weird zombie downstairs will regain his sight soon?"
"Yes, Uncle Ni, and judging from the fact that it sliced open the heads of four zombies with one claw, once it discovers our existence, the outcome waiting for us will most likely be death."
Lu Yu didn't want to deceive everyone, so he stated the facts in as calm a tone as possible.
"What can we do? The glass door of our building cannot be blocked..."
Uncle Ni's old face was filled with fear. When he thought that they might be torn apart by the claws of zombies, his legs could not stop trembling.
"Don't worry yet. Our position should not be exposed yet. Use this time to make some preparations, so that our probability of survival will be higher."
"Xiao Xiao, call out Yan Shao and his wife, and let's ask Zhang Jike about the bone wing zombies."
The sturdy girl nodded and walked quickly towards the other bedroom.
Soon, everyone once again gathered in the bedroom where the two soldiers were. Ma Long had fallen into a deep sleep, while Zhang Jike was leaning on the bed, closing his eyes and dozing. When he felt movement around him, he opened his eyes.
"Lao Zhang, something happened to the zombies surrounding the community."
When Lu Yu saw that everyone had arrived, he stopped waiting and explained the situation directly.
"Huh? Have zombies entered the community?"
Zhang Jike raised his eyebrows slightly. This was the first possibility that came to his mind, and it was also the possibility that he was most worried about.
After all, once zombies enter the community, they may enter the underground garage through various entrances.
Although they are not yet sure whether the underground garage is safe, judging from a previous experience, there should be no zombies in the garage.
If zombies enter the community, the safe passage of the underground garage will no longer be safe, and it will be difficult to implement the rescue plan after the arrival of the large army.
"That's not true, there are zombies that have mutated."
Lu Yu opened his mouth and told Zhang Jike exactly what he had just seen.
The soldier's face gradually darkened as Lu Yu told the story. When he heard that bone wings were sprouting from the zombie's back, a trace of fear appeared between his eyebrows, his face turned from green to gray, and even his breathing began to quicken.
Lu Yu and others naturally saw Zhang Jike's performance, and they were even more anxious to know what happened.
Finally, after being silent for a full minute, Zhang Jike opened his mouth and spoke slowly.
"Lu Yu, before I say anything, please promise me something."
Lu Yu looked at the soldier who was tied up with some surprise. He raised his brows, but did not nod in agreement. He just said aloud.
"Is it okay if I don't agree?"
Lu Yu curled his lips and said in a joking tone.
"No! You must agree!"
But to the surprise of everyone present, Zhang Jike, who had never lost his temper, actually yelled angrily at this time, and even a few tears could be seen in his eyes.
Even Ma Long, who was sleeping next to him, was awakened by Zhang Jike's roar. He rubbed his eyes in confusion and looked at his comrades.
"You tell me first, I can't blindly make promises."
Faced with Zhang Jike's anomaly, Lu Yu seemed unusually calm and spoke calmly.
"well……"
Chief Zhang Jike sighed and lowered his head, as if reflecting on his loss of control. But soon he raised his head again, licked his slightly dry lips with his tongue and said.
"The mutated zombie you saw, if I guess correctly, should be a mutated branch of the pure virus."
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, and then they turned their attention to the direction of Zhang Ning.
"It's not a pawn. A pawn-level zombie won't grow bone wings."
Zhang Jike weakly shook his head.
"That is……"
Seeing that Zhang Jike was hesitant to speak, Xiao Ran felt really anxious.
"Oh, it's [Xiang]! In the early stage, he has bone wings on his back, and when he is fully formed, he can fly into the sky with the help of wind. He is undoubtedly a Xiang-level zombie..."
As soon as the soldier Zhang Jike said these words, everyone opened their mouths with complicated expressions on their faces and could not speak for a long time.
But at this serious moment, Lu Yu couldn't help but complain.
"First [Pawn], then [Phase]. Does the scientist who named this zombie love to play chess? Is there any chariot, horse, cannon or something behind it?"
Lu Yu scratched his hair. After dozens of days of growth, his short hair was now a bit long. In addition, he didn't wash his hair when he got up in the morning, so it looked messy.
After Lu Yu finished speaking, there was another minute of silence in the bedroom.
At first, everyone felt that what Lu Yu said was a bit senseless, but after thinking about it, they did feel that it made some sense, and they couldn't help but feel strange in their hearts.
Why is this zombie named in such a weird way? Normal scientific naming should not use numbers or letters to distinguish zombie types or abilities. Why did the official news from Zhang Jike actually use Chinese chess pieces as a naming method?
Sure enough, after Zhang Jike heard Lu Yu's question, his face showed an expression of 'I knew you would ask this'.
"It's normal for you to feel strange about the way zombies are named. When I first learned about it, I was just as confused as you."
"As far as I know, this information about zombie variants is not an official name, but is secretly passed on by our intelligence personnel from the T organization."
"So why we use the names of chess pieces as a way to name zombies, I don't know."
"Furthermore, the only types of zombies I know of now are [Pawn], [Phase], [Horse], and [Rook]. The other types may not exist, or we may not know about them yet."
Zhang Jike said calmly, and everyone listened quietly without interrupting.
"I've seen the phase-level zombies you saw this morning before. In the camp, it massacred thirty-six soldiers, fully armed soldiers!"
"Which of these soldiers do I not recognize? Which one am I not familiar with? Their bodies and bodies are scattered like this in front of me!"
At this point, Zhang Jike's eyes turned red and the veins on his neck bulged, as if he was crazy.
"That's why I want you to promise to kill the evolving phase-level zombie! Even if I know it's not the one that massacred my comrades, I will crush it to ashes!"
Zhang Jike gritted his teeth and explained his previous rage word for word, staring at Lu Yu in front of him with his eyes red with grief and anger.
"I see, I understand."
Because everyone was infected by Zhang Jike's emotions, they couldn't help but feel a little bloody in their hearts, and seemed a little filled with righteous indignation.
But Lu Yu remained calm, not affected at all, and just gave a simple response to Zhang Jike's explanation.
After all, he is a person who lacks empathy and cannot feel Lao Zhang's emotions, so it is impossible for him to respond emotionally.
"I can't understand your emotions, but from a theoretical analysis, I can agree with your behavior."
Lu Yu did not explain his performance, he just spoke matter-of-factly.
"According to your description, it is indeed necessary to get rid of this phase-level zombie. Otherwise, when it becomes complete, it will definitely threaten my safety."
"Yes! Kill it while it is evolving!"
Zhang Jike said with red eyes. It seemed that his hatred for phase-level zombies had reached its extreme.
"Then the question is, it must be very difficult to kill phase-level zombies. After all, thirty-six fully armed soldiers were easily slaughtered by a phase-level zombie..."
Lu Yu raised a finger, without any expression on his face. If we were to rank the sanity of all the people present, then he, Lu Yu, would definitely be at the top of the list.
"this……"
Zhang Jike was immediately stopped by Lu Yu's words. Indeed, he did not know the method of killing phase-level zombies.
Even the phase-level zombie that massacred thirty-six fully armed soldiers before was only wounded in its body and allowed to escape.
Looking at Zhang Jike who fell into silence, the corners of Lu Yu's mouth raised slightly. He did not choose to wait for the soldier's answer, but continued.
"Listen to me, this phase-level zombie can fly?"
Zhang Jike raised his head in confusion. He didn't understand why Lu Yu suddenly asked, but he still nodded and answered in the affirmative.
A sunny smile bloomed on Lu Yu's face at this time, as if all the problems had been solved.
"Remember your helicopter?"
Zhang Jike nodded confusedly, still not understanding what Lu Yu wanted to say.
"Then do you still remember the thing that brought down your plane?"
