After struggling for a long time, Lu Yu finally filled his stomach and collapsed on the sofa with satisfaction.
Looking at the mutilated corpse on the ground, the laziness in the young man's eyes gradually subsided, and bits of light burst out, like a rusty sword being polished away bit by bit, revealing its edge to the world again.
"Tell me, did anything special happen while I was in coma?"
Rubbing the badge hanging around his neck with his fingers, Lu Yu asked.
This badge was something he had dug out from his study room before. Because of its exquisite workmanship and strange appearance, he took it with him as an item left behind by his father.
Although Lu Yu thought that these two badges might just be souvenirs bought by his father when he was traveling when he was young, and they were not valuable things.
But because he had to leave the Blue Moon Garden Community sooner or later, and because his father had died unexpectedly, he didn't leave anything easy to carry.
So these two badges naturally became the items that Lu Yu used to express his thoughts.
"Although you were only unconscious for one night this time, which didn't last long, there were indeed a lot of things happening around you."
The little Loli sighed, and a melancholy expression appeared on her young face, giving Lu Yu an inexplicable and funny illusion.
"After you lost your strength and fell into coma, I closed the door in time. Fortunately, there were no other zombies outside the door at that time. Otherwise, the consequences could be imagined if it were just me, a girl."
"Well, indeed, if there were other zombies outside the door at that time, it would be really difficult for you to deal with it alone..."
Lu Yu nodded in agreement, not noticing the slightly twitchy expression on the girl's face or the change of title in her words.
"After ensuring the temporary safety of the house, I also made two more stabs to ensure that the monster was completely dead."
Seeing that Lu Yu had no reaction, a trace of embarrassment flashed across the girl's face, and then she immediately returned to normal, pointing to the mutilated body on the ground and continued.
Following the direction of Xiao Ran's finger, Lu Yu saw several finger-thick blood holes on the muscular monster's left chest, which looked like bullet holes.
"Did you shoot?"
The round wound immediately reminded Lu Yu of a gunshot wound, but the little girl opposite shook her head, leaned over and took out the pistol taken from Yao Peiqing's bedroom from the drawer of the coffee table.
"The bullets of the pistol are limited, and the monster's head has been squeezed by you. The last hit is just a safe way, so I didn't use a gun."
"I stabbed the wound on the corpse's chest with a screwdriver."
"Stabbed with a screwdriver?"
Looking away, Lu Yu quickly found a screwdriver covered in black mucus and a small tool hammer next to the body.
It seems that Xiao Ran was not strong enough at that time, so he used a tool hammer to hit the screwdriver and successfully nailed it into the zombie's body.
"Although the monster's head has been shattered and it should be dead, it is still necessary to touch up the corpse. After all, there are phase-level zombies at that time as a warning. If the broken skull really did not kill the monster, Xiao Ran’s approach is equivalent to double insurance..."
As a pragmatic pessimist, Lu Yu was very satisfied with Little Loli's approach of finishing the damage afterwards.
Seeing the satisfied expression on Lu Yu's face, Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel proud, as if his achievements were recognized by others, giving him a slight sense of accomplishment.
"You just said that a lot of things happened when I was in a coma. Let me tell you what they are."
Picking up the water glass on the coffee table, Lu Yu took another sip. He didn't know if it was because of the previous fight with the muscle monster. Although it had only been one night, he felt that the water loss in his body was very serious.
"All the zombies in the residential building who were trapped inside the door have come to the outside world. I don't need to repeat this to you."
"Well, I know that, otherwise this muscular zombie wouldn't have suddenly come to the house."
Lu Yu nodded. Although he didn't know why the zombies trapped in the house suddenly learned how to open doors, the fact had happened and he had to believe it.
"But it's not just zombies that ran out of the building, there were also other things..."
Speaking of this, Xiao Ran seemed to have thought of something, and a look of solemnity appeared on his face.
"Is there anything else? Could it be a mutated creature? Something like that mutated archer fish?"
From the outbreak of the catastrophe to now, the only thing that makes Lu Yu feel afraid, apart from the zombies roaming the streets, are the mutated creatures that are derived from animal mutations.
He didn't forget that there was a mutated archerfish on the 22nd floor opposite that could kill phase-level zombies.
Although he was not completely killed, Lu Yu was very impressed by the light yellow cone that could break through the skull of a phase-level zombie.
If such mutated creatures escaped from the residential building, then if Lu Yu and Xiao Ran wanted to go out to collect supplies in the following days, it would basically be a daydream.
"I don't know if it's a mutated creature..."
Faced with Lu Yu's inquiry, Xiao Ran, who had always been decisive in thinking, choked up, his tone full of uncertainty.
"I wonder if it's a mutated creature? What do you mean? Did you not see clearly?"
The right hand holding the water glass paused slightly. Lu Yu suddenly felt that things might not be as simple as he thought, and asked quickly.
But Xiaoran did not directly answer Lu Yu's inquiry, but asked instead.
"The level of intelligence of mutated creatures shouldn't be high, right?"
"The intelligence of mutated creatures...should not be high...What on earth did you see? Why do you suddenly ask this..."
Lu Yu was also a little confused when Xiao Ran asked him this question. After thinking for a while, he said uncertainly.
After all, he was not the instigator of this disaster, and his understanding of the intelligence level of mutated creatures after being infected by the virus only limited to the mutated archer fish that could kill phase-level zombies.
At that time, when the mutant archer fish faced the provocation of phase-level zombies, it did not shoot out the cones randomly, but waited for a suitable opportunity to appear before killing it.
Using a little strategy to kill phase-level zombies should not be considered a high level of intelligence, but at best it can be regarded as the hunting instinct of a certain creature.
Just like a cheetah, in order to hunt antelope, will choose to hide its figure in the grass, and only when the time is right, will it show its sharp fangs.
That's why when faced with Xiao Ran's rhetorical question, Lu Yu gave an ambiguous answer like "The intelligence of mutated creatures should not be high."
"The reason why I ask this is because of the 'thing' I saw yesterday..."
One blue eye and one black eye blinked, and Xiao Ran said seriously.
"Yesterday after you fell into coma, I heard someone coming downstairs.
There was a strange sound, which was the sound of heavy objects falling from high altitude. "
"Is it possible that a zombie jumped off the building?"
Lu Yu's seriousness only lasted for a while, and then he automatically broke the rules and interrupted in a cheesy manner.
Xiao Ran looked at the young man in front of him faintly and nodded.
"It's true, a zombie really jumped off the building, and he jumped off the building holding a girl."
Seeing the mean expression on Lu Yu's face gradually stiffen, Xiao Ran sighed and sped up the story.
"The appearance of the zombie that jumped from the building is very similar to this zombie. They are both muscular types. However, compared with the zombie that jumped from the building, the one lying in the living room is obviously much shorter and the muscles on its body are also very deformed. "
"You mean, the zombie that jumped off the building is much stronger than the one in the living room?"
"Yes, if mutated zombies can really evolve as Zhang Jike and others said, then the zombie that jumped off the building should be an evolved version, while the one that broke into the house is a semi-finished product that is still in the transformation stage."
While talking, Xiao Ran glanced at the mutilated corpse on the ground again, with a pair of complicated expressions in his eyes.
The muscular zombie in its transformation stage almost killed her and Lu Yu. If the two of them encountered the fully evolved muscular zombie, the consequences could be imagined.
"If it's just a strong mutated zombie jumping from the building, it shouldn't mean anything. You said that zombie was holding a girl in its arms..."
Lu Yu murmured that what interested him right now was not the evolution of the mutated zombies, but the girl in the arms of the zombie who had jumped off the building.
You must know that the building where he and Xiao Ran are located has been comprehensively searched by Zhang Jike and the others. The possibility of survivors in the building is almost zero. There are only bloodthirsty zombies and mysterious people in those locked rooms. monster.
Where did the girl in the arms of the zombie who jumped from the building come from?
Could it be that he entered the building from outside? But that doesn’t make sense. They specifically picked a residential building to jump from. Could it be that they think their building has good Feng Shui and is very suitable for jumping?
Moreover, as a zombie, the desire for human flesh and blood is almost instinctive. This habit is like eating when hungry and drinking water when thirsty. It cannot be endured by willpower.
To say that this kind of muscular zombie is a vegetarian, Lu Yu would never believe it.
Therefore, it is speculated that the muscular zombie who jumped off the building is likely to be the same existence as Zhang Ning, that is, he has the appearance of a zombie, but his mind is still a normal human being.
And there is no habit of eating human flesh and drinking human blood.
"Don't you think that the zombie who jumped off the building is the same as Zhang Ning?"
When Lu Yu said his guess, he even thought that this was the standard answer.
Unexpectedly, the little Lolita in front of him shook her head, decisively denying his guess.
"Although I don't know exactly what the facts are, one thing is certain. The zombie who jumped off the building should not be like Zhang Ning."
"Reincarnation Paradise"
"It's more like a puppet, a marionette."
"A puppet with no consciousness? Who is controlling it..."
Hearing Xiaoran's answer, Lu Yu was not surprised, but he had more and more doubts in his heart.
"If my guess is correct, the owner of the puppet should be the unidentified girl in the zombie's arms..."
