Chapter 209: Soldier No. 2 (1)
City N, District Y, Blue Moon Garden Community.
As the sound of a chain link rotating sounded, the originally quiet and empty community slowly became noisy. Countless footsteps sounded in each residential building, accompanied by a heart-stopping roar, and the sound that spread in the air. of rancidity.
"These things are so stupid, they can't even open the door, and they want me to teach them..."
In the fire exit of Building 7, a tall figure that almost filled the entire corridor was slowly advancing. Behind this vicious creature, followed a thin girl with purple eyes.
The girl is none other than Lin Tanying, a general-level zombie who has just transformed into a complete body. At this time, she is heading to the fourteenth floor with her "Gr. Soldier No. 1" to find her future colleague--Gr. Soldier No. 2.
General-level zombies are different from other types of mutant zombies. In addition to having no obvious zombie characteristics on their bodies, they also retain most of the behaviors and habits of humans during their lifetime.
It can be said that except for those purple eyes, you can basically treat the other person as a normal human being.
"Gulu..."
Soldier No. 1 walking in front, the car-level zombie that Lin Tanying had previously taken under his command, made a swallowing sound from his throat, and turned his red eyes to look at the corner of the platform in front of him.
There lay a huge spider corpse. The corpse was covered with shiny marks, which seemed to be the marks left by some kind of dried mucus. There were fist-sized holes in the sunken head and huge abdominal cavity. The edges are extremely smooth, as if they had been cut by precision instruments.
The corpse of this giant spider seemed to have been eaten by something. The flesh and blood inside had long since disappeared, leaving only a layer of shell left in place. It was covered with fine cracks and looked very fragile.
"There's no gray fog, so it should be fine..."
Whispering in his mouth, the murderous creature in front of the girl immediately became excited and took heavy steps, making the corridor rumble.
"Wow!"
Smoke and dust were scattered in all directions, and the huge spider corpse was kicked away by Soldier No. 1. Many of the shells were already fragile and turned into powder at such a move, filling the entire corridor.
"There's no meat at all, it's so clean to eat..."
Pouring her thin lips, Lin Tanying did not wait for the smoke to dissipate. She walked across the platform without a care, and walked towards the fourteenth floor with the car-level zombies.
The fire door on the fourteenth floor was not locked and was slightly open. The outdoor sunlight poured in from the outside, injecting a different color into the darkness in the corridor.
The car-level zombie stood still in front of the gate, as if it had turned into a lifeless sculpture.
"Hey, we're here. I almost went too far if I wasn't careful..."
Whispering to himself nonchalantly, Lin Tanying withdrew her right foot from the steps, took two steps back, and hid in a deserted corner.
The car-level zombie on the steps closed his eyes tightly. After a while, the red in his eyes turned into a deep dark purple, and he tilted his head on the spot, as if he was adapting to something.
"Ah, I became so high all of a sudden. I'm not used to it..."
The hoarse voice came from the mouth of the car-level zombie, like a broken maracas, harsh and unpleasant.
However, the car-level zombie whose eyes turned dark purple did not stay where he was. After a moment of activity, he stretched out his big hand forward and lightly grasped the door handle of the fire door.
The door was slowly opened, and there was no abnormality around. The car-level zombie named Private Soldier No. 1 by Lin Tanying did not hesitate, stooped into the door, and disappeared at the entrance of the corridor.
"
Bang! "
After losing the pulling force, the metal door quickly rebounded and hit the door frame with a muffled sound.
Then there was a long silence.
There was no sound of fighting, no roaring, and even the heavy footsteps of car-level zombies disappeared between floors.
After a moment, the silence was broken again by a slightly hoarse woman's exclamation.
"Wow...what a big egg..."
The girl's face was full of surprise. She no longer hid her figure and quickly walked out of the corner.
However, his eyes were still firmly closed, with no intention of opening them.
But this didn't seem to have any impact on the girl's actions. She was talking to herself, and Lin Tanying was like a light cat, quickly climbing up the stairs with her eyes closed.
Through the vision shared with Private Soldier One, Lin Tanying was surprised to find that the orange light spot on the fourteenth floor was a half-human-tall giant egg with a faint fluorescence flowing on its surface.
"Why isn't he a muscular type like Soldier One? Is it because he hasn't hatched from the egg yet..."
Standing next to Soldier No. 1, Lin Tanying opened her eyes and curiously looked at the giant egg in front of her.
Although it is a giant egg, it is actually only as tall as a seven or eight-year-old child. The surface is covered with a layer of dried mucus, and there are many blood vessel-like lines scattered on the surface.
The giant egg is surrounded by a broken grayish white. All the flesh and blood that can be absorbed seems to have been absorbed by the giant egg. The vascular tentacles are like plant roots struggling to seek water, weirdly bending and twisting on the cement floor.
Their growth range is very limited, and it seems that they cannot leave the giant egg very far, but the giant egg urgently needs them to find fresh flesh and blood to provide itself with evolutionary nutrients.
As if sensing that there were malicious intruders around, the originally quiet giant egg began to stir, and the creatures inside rushed against the thin shell, trying to break out of the shell in advance.
"Orange light spot...and it's an egg..."
Faced with the strange movement in front of her, Lin Tanying did not show any panic on her face. Instead, she calmly held her chin and began to think.
The car-level zombie standing next to the girl also trembled slightly after the girl opened her eyes. The dark purple in her eyes faded and turned red again.
Different from the girl's calm reaction, after regaining control of his body, this car-level zombie took a small step forward unconsciously when he saw the scene in front of him. The Adam's apple between his thick and short neck rolled, and a large number of Saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he seemed to be very interested in the giant egg in front of him.
It's like being hungry for a long time and seeing a delicious roast chicken...
"No. 1, don't move, I can't feed you this..."
Lin Tanying's neither soft nor hard words sounded from behind the car-level zombies, like persuasion and warning.
"Roar……"
Letting out a reluctant growl, the car-level zombie blinked its red eyes and retreated back to Lin Tanying, using his strong body to block the gap between the giant egg and the girl.
"Well, let me try and see if I can turn this person into your future colleague..."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Tanying closed her eyes again, but it was different from before. This time the mental power used by the girl was obviously many times stronger. Her thin body trembled slightly, and a lot of energy appeared on her fair face. The black and thin blood vessels look unusually ferocious.
"Quiet!"
As the girl shouted harshly, the giant egg, like a pet being scolded by its owner, actually stopped agitating.
"Let me see...what you want..."
The girl's eyelids trembled slightly, she tilted her head and murmured to herself.
"Flesh and blood...well...a little bit...understood, it turns out you are hungry..."
Raising her eyebrows, Lin Tanying opened her eyes again, pushed the car-level zombie in front of her away, and looked at the weird giant egg again.
Strangely enough, after Lin Tanying opened her eyes again, the originally restless giant egg turned out to be like a well-behaved child. Apart from the regular ups and downs of a heartbeat, there was no other movement...
Instead, the tentacles like tree roots that grew out of the giant eggs kept squirming on the ground, like a pile of mixed worms, waiting to be fed by their master.
"Since you want flesh and blood, it's not easy..."
A smile flashed across the girl's face, and she just stood there, motionless.
But just because she didn't move didn't mean the surroundings were still silent.
Residential Building No. 7, which originally had only sparse footsteps, suddenly became lively, with messy footsteps and collisions coming one after another, mixed with the uncontrollable roars of the secondary infected.
"It's so slow, but there's nothing I can do. I won't let Private One leave my side..."
Lin Tanying pouted her little mouth and made a face at the giant egg.
From the mental communication with the giant egg just now, she already knew clearly that the other party's evolution process could not be completed because of insufficient flesh and blood, and it was stuck in the middle.
Of course, it is possible to forcefully break out of the shell, but doing so will cause great damage to the creature, and it is likely to leave some hidden injuries that will affect its future development.
If Lin Tan wants to swallow the giant egg in front of him like Soldier No. 1, then when it feels threatened, it will immediately break out of the shell and fight for its life.
After all, one's life is about to be lost. Who cares whether the evolutionary process is complete or whether there will be hidden wounds on the body.
But Lin Tanying did not show strong hostility, but followed its wishes and wanted to help the giant egg complete its evolution.
This caused the giant egg to temporarily stop breaking its shell.
Although Lin Tanying's intention was obvious, he wanted to take the creature in the giant egg under his control, but the creature in the giant egg also had concerns. At this time, it did not think that after completing its evolution, it would be easily enslaved by a girl.
Both have their own agendas and are very cautious.
After waiting for about five minutes, the fire door on the fourteenth floor was opened again. What walked out of the door was none other than the secondary infected body inspired by Lin Tanying.
There were five "flesh and blood" in the first batch to arrive, and they were all zombies with imperfect limbs. In the spiritual world in Lin Tanying's mind, their manifestations were the lowest white light spots, with not even a trace of them among them. There is no red light.
"thump!"
The first secondary infected body led by it took the lead to walk in front of the giant egg. Whether it was walking unsteadily or tripping over roots on the ground, the ragged zombie immediately lost its center of gravity and fell to the ground.
After struggling on the ground for a few times, the secondary infected body became stiff and stopped moving at all.
If you look carefully, you will find that the roots that were constantly squirming and intertwined on the ground have already penetrated into the zombie's body. These roots seem to have the ability to dissolve flesh and blood and then suck it out. After a while, the zombie that fell to the ground turned into a zombie. A skeleton has been completely lost.
Looking at this horrifying scene in front of her, Lin Tanying didn't have the slightest fear in her eyes. On the contrary, the slowly emerging joy in her eyes revealed the fluctuations in her heart.
"Eat more...so that you can grow taller and stronger..."
