Zhang Jike, who had always had his eyelids drooped, frowned and whispered to himself. Although he didn't hear what Xu Xiaoxiao was saying, he just answered her question invisibly.
"Why are you rushing into the river? Zombies are not ducks. Could they still swim in the water?"
Shao Xiuqi also became interested, her curiosity overriding the fear in her heart, and she began to lie on the window and look out.
"I really can't swim. Look..."
Ma Long forcibly stabilized his emotions and said calmly. Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and found that driven by the horse-level zombies, the zombies in the group of corpses were like dumplings that had been cooked, falling into the river one after another. Among...
The river water, which was not originally clear, became increasingly turbid as the zombies continued to move forward. Since those secondary infected bodies did not have the ability to see, and were pushed forward by their companions, they were unable to change their direction at all. direction.
"What is this? A great sense of justice, annihilating the same kind, and contributing to the purification of the world?"
Everyone looked at the incredible scene in front of them, and a big question mark popped up in their heads.
"It's impossible. Horse-level zombies don't have intelligence and can only act based on instinct. The speculation of driving similar people into the river to kill relatives is obviously too far-fetched."
Ma Long murmured, but his eyes were full of disbelief.
"But this outrageous scene just happened. Is it possible that these two horse-level zombies, like Zhang Ning, are also mutants that have retained their consciousness during life?"
Xu Xiaoxiao curled up his index finger and drilled it into his temple a few times with his knuckle, as if he wanted to use this method to wake himself up so that he could think carefully about what was hidden in it.
The fallen secondary infected bodies were floating in the turbid river water. Regardless of whether they had mastered swimming skills during their lifetime, they all turned into landlubbers after being infected into zombies. They can only rely on the inherent buoyancy of their bodies to keep struggling in the water. The river water flows in along their wide open mouths, compressing the air in their bodies, and the slowly increasing weight drags their bodies downward little by little. go.
The two horse-level zombies worked very efficiently. After a while, there were only a few zombies left on the shore. Sensing that the last few secondary infected bodies were still on the shore, they refused to go into the water. The horse-level zombie skillfully raised one foot and kicked the remaining zombies into the river without using much force.
Suddenly, there were only two tall horse-level zombies left on the shore. The two zombies sniffed the air, grinned slightly with their fanged mouths, and kept making low roars towards the river.
These two zombies behaved very strangely. They kept wandering by the river without any sign of leaving, but they seemed to dare not get too close to the river. They just screamed at a distance of about five or six meters from the river, as if they were Waiting for something.
"Comrade Xiaoma, these zombies really have no intelligence? Why do I think these two horse-level zombies are making a nest..."
Uncle Ni broke the silence in the carriage and lowered his voice.
"Make a nest?"
Everyone, including Zhang Jike and Ma Long, were stunned, and it took them a long time to understand what Uncle Ni meant.
Nesting is a professional term circulated in the circles of professional fishermen and amateur fishing enthusiasts. It refers to the purpose of increasing fishing efficiency and increasing fishing efficiency.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
To increase the probability of fish taking the bait, anglers will often put a certain amount of bait at the target location before fishing, thereby inducing the fish in the river to gather towards the fishing point.
After listening to what Uncle Ni said, everyone took a closer look at the zombies wandering on the river bank, and suddenly felt that something like this was happening. Two horse-level zombies were wandering around the bank, looking like two patiently waiting for the fish to gather. fishing guy.
"This should be just a coincidence. Didn't Captain Ma just say that this kind of zombies are not intelligent? Is it true that as Xiao Xiao guessed, the two horse-level zombies in front retained their consciousness during life, so they did what they did? To act like this.”
Shao Xiuqi moved her body with difficulty, as if she wanted to relieve her glutes that were numb from sitting in the crowded carriage, but beside her was the strong Xu Xiaoxiao, and the limited space was almost completely occupied by this muscular girl. Occupied, in desperation, she could only do the next best thing, smooth the hair on her forehead, and whisper.
"If Zhang Ning retained his consciousness during his lifetime, wouldn't we be able to communicate with each other normally?"
When Xu Xiaoxiao heard that his guess was supported, his excited voice immediately became louder, but he soon tried to restrain himself and returned to his previous state of speaking in a low voice.
"It's a bit too early to draw this conclusion now..."
Malone never moved his eyes away from the front and spoke in a low voice.
"Zhang Ning's situation should be a very special one. He has almost all the characteristics of a soldier-level zombie, but he retains the consciousness and thinking of a human being."
"Compared with Zhang Ning, the two horse-level zombies are a little different. Let's not say whether their series of strange behaviors are due to subjective will. If they still retain their consciousness as humans, then why don't they communicate with each other through language? But by shouting?"
Ma Long stretched out his finger and tapped the air a few times. Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and found that two zombies on the opposite side were roaring at the river. There was no trace of "human" on them.
"Then why do they drive their kind into the Fenghua River..."
Yan Hanben was completely confused. He didn't speak much from the beginning. Due to the fear in his heart, he always listened to the discussion. But now that the discussion is over, it seems that he has gone full circle and returned to the starting point...
"Just keep observing quietly. There is nothing we can do now except wait..."
Ma Long said softly, and once again comforted Yan Hanben, who was sitting in the main driving seat. He could see that the other person's mental endurance was not strong, but fortunately after being comforted, Yan Hanben regained his composure and talked with him. Everyone stared at the changes outside the car window.
Not long after Ma Long comforted Yan Hanben, a change occurred in the river not far away.
The turbid river water surged into layers of white waves, and several vortexes of different sizes appeared on the calm river surface without warning. Most of the zombies floating in the river were sucked into the vortex and never floated again.
The remaining zombies didn't know what happened, so they could only flop around in the river in vain. A few were lucky enough to grab the protruding stones on the shore, and crawled towards the shore driven by instinct, but as long as they just As soon as its head emerges, the horse-level zombies on the shore will immediately appear. They will step forward and kick the head of the zombie trying to get ashore, causing its body to fall again towards the river.
"Damn, it's really evil. There seems to be something in the river. Is it possible?
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Did Uncle Ni say it true? Are these two horse-level zombies using the same kind of bodies to make a nest? "
The muscles on Ma Long's face twitched, still unable to believe the outrageous scene in front of him.
"If horse-level zombies really use those secondary infected bodies as bait, how big must the baited creature be?"
Just as he was frowning and thinking hard, a huge splash of water broke his thoughts and attracted everyone's attention.
There were no zombies left floating on the river. Where the zombies had fallen into the water, a huge snake-shaped head suddenly appeared!
Looking from a distance, the height of the head alone exceeds the height of an adult, and the neck connected to it is also more than two meters wide. The skin is overall green, with yellow spots of different sizes, and the monster's skin is also It is not smooth. It is covered with large and small wrinkles and knots. It looks wrinkled, like old tree bark.
The most frightening thing is that in the monster's big black mouth, there is still half a zombie corpse. The upper body of the corpse has already entered the monster's mouth, and only two thighs are still exposed. I don't know if it is because of nerve twitching. , or because of the monster's bite, the two legs kept swinging in the air, causing an indelible visual impact to everyone.
This monster that looked like a snake head slowly chewed the zombies in its mouth. Its two big yellow eyes stared at the horse-level zombies on the shore, as if waiting and provoking.
The atmosphere in the car was extremely silent. Yan Hanben and Shao Xiuqi subconsciously held their breath after seeing the monster emerge from the water. When facing a creature stronger than themselves, the fear hidden in their hearts was instantly detonated. At that moment, Everyone in the car felt as if they had returned to the wilderness, and felt the despair of human beings falling into prey again!
"Look, what I said is right, these two horse-level zombies are indeed making a nest, probably to lure this old turtle, right?"
Uncle Ni's mental endurance was surprisingly good. After experiencing the initial shock, he quickly regained his composure. His two somewhat cloudy eyes curiously looked at the giant creature outside the car window, and whispered to everyone.
"Old turtle?"
Ma Long and Zhang Jike were startled when they heard this, and then carefully looked at the monster on the river, and then nodded in realization.
"Uncle Ni reminded me that this giant creature does look a bit like a turtle, but it's just a turtle enlarged several times, and there are many things on it that weren't there before..."
After the giant creature chewed for a while, it suddenly opened its big mouth and bit forward. There was a gurgling sound, and its wrinkled neck bulged. It actually swallowed half of the corpse directly into its mouth and swallowed it. .
After swallowing the corpse in its mouth, this giant creature with a snake-like head did not rush back into the water. Instead, it continued to stare at the horse-level zombies on the shore with its two big tire-like eyes. What was in its eyes was not fear or curiosity. , but deep greed.
"The group of zombies that fell into the water just now, if not a hundred, is at least eighty. There is not a single zombie on the river now. Most of them were eaten up by the giant turtle. After eating so much, they are still alive. You haven’t eaten enough, and you still want to take advantage of the two horse-level zombies on the shore?”
Ma Long raised his eyebrows high and his mouth opened into an "O" shape unconsciously. Everyone in the car remained silent in a tacit understanding, wondering what would happen next...
