The distance of twenty steps was not far at all. Under the careful control of the deaf sheep, the human-faced lizard Xiaocai finally stood close.
Looking at the strange threads that were constantly shrinking, Deaf Sheep did not stop where he was. Instead, he focused on the corpse and carefully observed it.
The perspective changes, and many details that were previously invisible or blocked appear in front of the deaf sheep.
"This red thread doesn't seem to come out of the gun barrel, but from the body..."
Following the retracting red thread, Deaf Sheep unknowingly came to Zhang Ning's back.
In his eyes, the huge number of strange red threads actually came from the back of the neck of the man in front of him whose chest was pierced by sharp claws.
Previously, it was also because the diameter of the silk thread was too small and it stuck to the man's skin, so it did not attract Yan Yuan's attention.
Now these red threads began to retract rapidly, and only then did the observer, the Deaf Sheep, discover their origin.
"In other words, the second-order existence they wanted to fight for before was this person covered in blood?"
Lin Tanying's question rang in Deafyang's head. At Deafyang's request, the girl did not approach the standing body with Deafyang, but kept a certain safe distance.
In this way, even if something unexpected happens to Deafyang, Lin Tanying will not be affected and can respond immediately.
"It seems so. Look, the undead opposite the man is also shriveled up. He must have been drained dry by the red thread."
Lin Tanying, whose body was wrapped in Dacai's giant tail, subconsciously wanted to nod, agreeing with the deaf sheep's statement, but found that her head was tightly bound by the big mouth at the end of the tail, and even nodding was blocked. limit.
"Well, it seems that these weird threads grew out of this man. Deaf Sheep, what should we do? Is it possible to go up and confirm it directly?"
Upon hearing the girl's question, the deaf sheep immediately shook his head in the negative and looked at the headless mummy beside him.
"If we approach rashly, we might end up like him. Let's take a closer look. Or do you have any remote recognition method without getting close to him?"
Deaf Sheep has always been more cautious when dealing with unknown things, not to mention the living examples right in front of them.
"How can there be a remote recognition method? If you want recognition, you must have physical contact. It doesn't have to be me, but at least there must be a subject carrying my own consciousness approaching the target, but..."
As consciousness entered Deafyang's mind, Lin Tanying changed his tone and things took a slight turn.
"But what?"
As Lin Tanying's retinue and cute 'little brother', Deafyang was naturally the first to answer.
"However, I can forcibly control the opponent through mental power, provided that the target has not been recognized by other generals."
There was a hint of pride in the girl's thoughts, and she also used the new title she had just learned - General.
"Forcibly control with mental power, that means you can forcibly control that man and make the red thread on his body remain silent?"
The deaf sheep's brow flashed with joy.
"It should be possible, but I've only used this control method on Soldier 1, and it didn't last long..."
Lin Tanying recalled the moment when she first awakened and opened her spiritual vision for the first time.
The first zombie she recognized at that time was actually the bald bandit Su Daqiang. However, after opening her mental vision, Lin Tanying discovered that there were people around her who were stronger than Su Daqiang.
With hundreds of times the red light spots, I rationally chose the latter.
Through the remote control of mental power, the car-level zombie soldier No. 1 came to the door of the twenty-eighth floor, and then he recognized the first decent follower.
"When we forcibly controlled Private Soldier One, the spiritual light spot of Private Soldier One was only red, not even a little orange..."
Speaking of this, Lin Tan suddenly remembered something and immediately stopped transmitting his thoughts.
This made Deaf Sheep, who had been listening carefully, feel a little strange, and urged curiously.
"Eh? Why don't you say it again? Keep going, there wasn't even a hint of orange when you controlled it forcibly, and then what?"
"Forehead……"
Hesitant thoughts entered Deafyang's mind. When he asked, Lin Tanying seemed to become even more panicked.
"No... no, I will meet you later. You almost poisoned me to death at that time. Do you still remember..."
After hesitatingly saying what he was thinking, Lin Tanying looked in the direction of the deaf sheep with some concern.
But Dacai's bowl-shaped mouth had already covered Lin Tanying's head, so when he opened his eyes, there was only darkness. Although he could see more clearly through his enhanced mental power, it was obviously impossible to observe the deafness at the moment. The expression on the sheep's face.
"Oh yes...I remember, I hadn't fully recovered my consciousness at that time, and I just wanted to attack you out of instinct..."
In fact, Deafyang didn't remember the memory of his emergence from the egg very clearly. He only had a vague impression that it seemed to be a process in which he poisoned Lin Tanying with his tentacles and then treated him.
"Perhaps you haven't awakened yet?"
Such a word came out of Lin Tanying's mouth inexplicably, and even she herself didn't know why she described it in this way.
It was as if the music was written in her mind, waiting for the right moment, and then it would jump out from between her lips and teeth.
"Maybe... let's not mention this for now, and let's get down to business. Can you forcibly control that man's consciousness and make the red thread on his body remain silent?"
The deaf sheep looked at the man's body again. Most of the red threads had retracted, and only a small amount was still wandering on the surface of the skin, seemingly lusting after the black blood.
Compared with these weird red threads, the man's body that was pierced by sharp claws still showed no reaction. The sharp contrast between the two made the deaf sheep couldn't help but have a strange idea.
This strange red thread seems to be an independent individual and has nothing to do with the place where it grows.
"Let's try it. Deaf Sheep, don't move. Let Soldier No. 1 get closer first and extract the corpse on the opposite side."
As soon as Lin Tanying's thoughts arrived, Soldier No. 1 on the side took steps without complaint.
With no intelligence, this pseudo-second-order car-level zombie is not afraid of any danger.
After only a few steps, Soldier No. 1 successfully arrived behind the horse-level zombie. Regardless of whether Lin Tanying controlled Zhang Ning or not, his two thick arms grabbed the target in front of him, one on the left and the other on the right. Pull back.
The black sharp claws stirred back and forth in Zhang Ning's chest like a medicine pestle, blurring the previously coagulated flesh and blood again.
But even so, the man whose chest was pierced remained unchanged, but the red thread on the back of his neck froze for a moment.
"Pfft!"
The sound of sharp claws being pulled out of flesh and blood was heard. The already skinny horse-level zombie body was pulled out with brute force by Private One. The place where its abdomen was pierced by the hanger gun was still scattered.
A little bit of crumbs.
If you look closely, you can see that the debris falling on the ground is black and reddish. At first glance, it looks like the remains left after the red silk threads were torn off.
"So that's it... no wonder..."
Lin Tanying's exclamation came from the air. What surprised Deafyang was that she did not use her mental power to convey her thoughts this time, but shouted directly.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"No wonder the tall and thin undead made moves earlier. It turns out that these red threads have grown and spread inside its body, completely hollowing out the inside!"
Lin Tanying spoke quickly, with a hint of excitement in his tone.
"The body has been hollowed out? Is this red silk thread absorbed so quickly?"
Deaf Sheep also saw the scene where the horse-level zombies were separated from the hanger gun, and subconsciously spoke in surprise.
But he quickly came to his senses. It hadn’t been long since Xiaocai’s former owner was entangled in the red thread and became the chief mummy supplier. He could achieve such an effect in such a short period of time, emptying out the entire tall, thin and immortal body. The clan doesn't seem to be an impossible thing.
But before the deaf sheep could digest this matter, something even more incredible happened.
The blood-stained man who had been silent all this time, Zhang Ning, whose chest was pierced by sharp claws, suddenly raised his head.
"Danger!"
The first time he saw the change, Deafyang put on a defensive posture, and eight tentacles bloomed like begonia flowers, quickly protecting the front.
Deaf Sheep is very confident in his reaction speed. If the opponent wants to attack him, the defense formed by the eight tentacles in front of him will never let the opponent succeed so easily.
But the next scene made his reaction a little redundant.
The man covered in blood did not attack, but after raising his head, he stood there in a daze.
After more than a dozen breaths, nothing changed.
"Lin Tanying? What's going on?"
The confused Deaf Sheep did not dare to make any move, so he could only maintain a defensive posture and asked.
But Lin Tanying seemed to have disappeared into the air, neither opening her mouth to answer nor sending any thoughts.
Standing in front of the blood-stained man, Soldier No. 1 also seemed to be a free beast. Regardless of the situation, he opened his bloody mouth in front of the deaf sheep and began to tear the skin and flesh of the tall and thin undead crazily. Come.
It's like a demonstration, but more like fear!
The weirdness was like a thorn filled with sharp thorns, silently wrapping around the heart of the deaf sheep, tightening his soul little by little.
"Why are you eating on the spot? What is Lin Tanying doing?"
Although Deafyang had put his own life and death aside, the strangeness in front of him still aroused the fear in his heart.
This feeling as if he had been abandoned by the world and surrounded by enemies was really too much for him.
"Kekeke..."
A strange and rhythmic sound came from the blood-stained man's throat, like a rusty gear making an abnormal sound when someone pushed it hard.
Just when the deaf sheep was about to open his mouth to shout again, the blood-stained man's backward head jerked violently and drooped to the side.
The red bloodshot threads on the back of his neck slowly retracted into his body as if he had received instructions.
As the man's head kept changing the angle, a scarlet eye slowly entered the deaf sheep's field of vision...
