Even when communicating silently, the deaf sheep seemed to be very cautious, fearing that his small actions would attract the attention of the weird old lady.
But it turned out that his worries seemed to be unnecessary.
Because after the old lady glanced at the alley, she never turned around again, but focused all her attention on the front of the street, as if there was something more important there that was attracting her.
"Okay, okay, what are you going to do next? It seems like it's too late to get into the group of corpses."
Although he agreed quickly, Lin Tanying continued to ask in Deafyang's mind.
"Follow me. I seem to have the ability to mimic. As long as I'm careful, I won't be discovered by that old lady..."
The deaf sheep responded, looking at the tentacles on his body.
While he was communicating with Lin Tanying, the tentacles that were originally the color of a brick wall squirmed quickly and returned to their previous dark blue color.
"So...I have a question..."
The girl's somewhat uncertain voice echoed in the deaf sheep's mind.
The deaf sheep also stopped when he heard the words, and subconsciously took a listening posture.
After all, we are facing an unknown situation now, and all uncertain factors should be eliminated as early as possible at the initial stage.
"Are you a squid or a chameleon? Why do you have the color-changing ability of a chameleon even though you have eight tentacles..."
Hearing Lin Tanying's inquiry, Deafyang staggered and almost fell over.
Is the origin of color-changing abilities a burning question right now? My sister's character seems a little too naive...
"I'll discuss it with you when I get back. I'll keep silent for now. I'm going to follow..."
Suppressing the fucked up emotion in his heart, Deafyang replied in a low voice, then moved his steps and cautiously walked out of the alley.
With Lin Tanying's somewhat reluctant "Okay", Deafyang walked out of the alley and quietly followed the old lady.
Just as the Deaf Sheep thought, not only his eight tentacles, but also the skin on his body have extremely strong mimicry capabilities. As long as he moves forward against the building, the surface of the body will automatically change colors, and even It imitates the concave and convex ravines on the brick wall.
From just one angle, it's impossible to detect his presence.
"The mimicry ability of the blue-ringed octopus..."
Looking at the tentacles on his body that automatically changed shapes, a memory from his previous life suddenly appeared in the deaf sheep's mind.
In the huge water tank, decorative corals and reefs are scattered at the bottom. The blue-ringed octopus that was just thrown into the water broke free from the net bag and attached to one of the largest corals.
Within a few seconds, the smooth body of the blue-ringed octopus began to deform and grow various small bumps. The color of its body also began to change rapidly, and it soon merged with the coral, making it difficult to distinguish.
"Tentacles, mimicry, it seems that the way I am now is indeed closely related to the blue-ringed octopus at home..."
While thinking, the group of corpses crowded on the street had moved forward for a long distance, but strangely, the mutated zombies in the group of corpses all separated from the center and began to quickly approach the old lady, leaving only Those secondary infected bodies with little fighting power are still running forward.
"What's wrong? It seems... hmm!"
Seeing the changes ahead, Deaf Sheep's footsteps began to slow down. When he was feeling strange, he suddenly felt a violent mental wave sweeping over him.
This time's mental fluctuations were obviously much stronger than the mental fluctuations the old lady used to test before. Under the intense stimulation, the deaf sheep leaning against the wall almost groaned in pain.
Fortunately, the reaction of the tentacles was faster than the conditioned reflex of a deaf sheep. When he was about to make a sound and be exposed, the tentacles wrapped around his neck quickly covered his mouth.
"There is more than one being who can control the undead!"
The deaf sheep's eyes were round and he looked back blankly.
On the street that was supposed to be deserted, a man appeared. He was only wearing a thin shirt, and his pants were also very common casual styles, but his eyes were the same as those of Lin Tanying and the old lady. They are exactly the same, both are deep purple.
The old lady who was following the group of corpses turned around at some point. Although she was still supported by the shield monster, the look on her face clearly showed that she had discovered the uninvited guest behind her.
"General level, second level?"
The old lady's withered lips wriggled, and it was difficult for the old lady to spit out such a sentence.
The man in simple clothes in the distance did not respond immediately after hearing the old lady's words. On the contrary, he did not even look at the old lady, but stared at an empty wall for a long time. , seemed to be examining some artwork that interested him greatly.
"Huh? No followers, a second-level general without followers?"
A look of surprise appeared on the ugly old face, and the old lady's nervous expression seemed to be relieved for a moment, but soon became uncertain again.
As if he had finished examining the art in his eyes, and seemed to feel that it was rude to make the old man wait for too long, a smile appeared on the face of the man in simple clothes, as warm as the spring sun.
"Old woman, can you give me the second step in front?"
"What?!"
Questions came from the hearts of the old lady and the deaf sheep at the same time, but the old lady blurted it out, while the deaf sheep was surprised in his heart.
Although it was the first time for Deaf Sheep to hear the various nouns in their mouths, based on his previous experience, it was not difficult to infer what those strange nouns referred to.
General level should refer to beings like the old lady and Lin Tanying who can control the undead, including the man in simple clothes who suddenly appeared. They should all be of this type.
Looking at the empty appearance next to the man and the mutant zombies gathered around the old lady, Deafyang naturally understood that the followers were referring to the mutant undead with weird shapes.
The relationship should be like that between Soldier No. 1 and Lin Tanying. When needed, the general can fully control the body of any subordinate.
As for "second level", it may refer to the strength of beings such as generals, or some kind of yardstick that can measure strength.
As for the reason why the deaf sheep was surprised, it was because the position where the man was looking was exactly in his direction.
Just by looking at it, the deaf sheep even felt that the other person was looking at him.
It was obvious that the man in simple clothes had discovered his existence, but did not reveal it immediately, which surprised the deaf sheep.
"Humph, let me give it to you? Okay..."
The old lady hummed softly, her wrinkled lips slowly moved, and she spat out a series of short words.
"But I discovered this second-order one first. We are all generals. Shouldn't there be a first-come, first-served order?"
The expression on her face did not change, but the old lady's body was slowly descending. The deaf sheep took a closer look and realized that it was the shield monster under the old lady.
Wu Zheng slowly lowered the old man on his body, his movements gentle and slow, as if he were handling an extremely fragile treasure.
"First come, first served...hehe..."
Looking at the mutated zombies in front of him who were gradually surrounded by the old man, the man seemed to smile even more happily, so much that his lips parted, revealing his white teeth.
"why are you laughing……"
Seeing the man's confident look, the old lady's face became increasingly clouded.
As an E-class personnel within the T organization, the old lady was "lucky" to be selected by the organization as a humanoid experimental subject for testing secondary viruses.
Being selected as a humanoid experimental subject means that you have to endure all kinds of unimaginable pain and experimental methods, and in the end there is a huge risk of losing your life.
Usually, such people are forced to do so without any choice.
But the old lady did it voluntarily.
Because during her lifetime, during the last years of her human existence, she got cancer.
Cancer cells were like greedy locusts, eating away at her body mercilessly.
Although the disease devoured her body, it did not knock down her belief in wanting to live.
Originally a biologist, she abandoned all her beliefs during her lifetime and resolutely devoted herself to science, which she believed in most.
Become a humanoid experimental subject.
It turned out that the secondary virus saved her life and completely eradicated the cancer cells in her body, but at the same time, it also completely wiped out the old lady's humanity and turned her into a completely different existence than she was during her lifetime.
It was the first time she drank human blood and the first time she ate human flesh. When the old lady reacted, she had become a monster.
After a moment of panic, she quickly adapted to the situation in front of her. Anyway, her original intention was just to survive. It made no difference to her whether she survived in human form or lingered as a monster.
But now, her original intention has encountered obstacles. For the first time since becoming a general-level zombie, the old lady feels the threat of death.
The source of all threats comes from the unarmed man in civilian clothes in front of him...
"Ahem, of course I laugh because what you said is funnier, haha..."
A pair of purple eyes curved into crescent moons. The man's hands were hanging by his side. Except for the rich expression on his face, his body barely moved at all.
The shield monster had completely knocked the old lady to the ground, and raised its arms that had transformed into bone shields, building a thick barrier with itself between the old lady and the man.
The rest of the mutated zombies also formed a formation and wrapped tightly around the old lady.
On the other hand, the man in casual clothes was still standing alone on the street, without any followers around him.
In the eyes of Deaf Sheep, the man in casual clothes was much inferior to the old lady in terms of helpers and geographical location. However, what surprised him was that not only did the man's face not have any look of panic, but instead a look of panic. He stood quietly on the street with a confident look.
The old lady obviously also discovered something strange. Logically speaking, a second-level general does have the capital to be arrogant in front of her, but that is also based on the equal number of followers. After all, general-level zombies are special existence, apart from using mental power to control the followers, there are almost no other means of attack.
In other words, a general-level zombie without followers is almost the same as a general secondary infected body except for its autonomous consciousness.
But why did the man in plain clothes in front of her look like he was convinced of her...
