"The bones of these skeletons have obvious signs of being eaten. Their deaths were not peaceful..."
Putting the cleaned arrows back into the arrow pot, Xiao Ran walked towards the nearest skeleton and looked at it carefully.
"That's right... I just don't know if it was eaten while alive or after turning into a corpse..."
Lu Yu whispered as his eyes swept over the blood-stained bones.
"This one was probably eaten while still alive, while the other two may have turned into zombies when they were eaten..."
Pointing her finger in the distance, the little Loli said lightly.
"Eh? How could you tell? These three skeletons are obviously similar..."
Lu Yu couldn't help but become interested when he saw Xiao Ran was so sure, and asked curiously.
"It's very simple. Haven't we seen phase-level zombies eating corpses of the same kind?"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately brought back memories in Lu Yu's heart.
"Well, that's right. After two phase-level zombies fought each other outside the community, the victor did eat the loser. What does this have to do with the skeletons in front of us? There are no bone wings on the backs of these skeletons. , it can’t be a phase-level zombie..."
"Yes, these skeletons are indeed not phase-level zombies, but look at the gnawing marks on the bones."
Xiaoran pointed to the nearest skeleton and said.
Following the girl's fingers, Lu Yu found that the bones in front of him had obvious signs of gnawing, as if they were savoring a delicacy.
After looking at it for a long time, Lu Yu said with some uncertainty.
"The gnawing marks on the bones are very dense... proves that the zombies ate very carefully when biting?"
"Yes, judging from the density of these marks, the zombies were indeed very careful when biting. This proves that the corpse in front of it is very attractive to it."
The blue and black mandarin duck eyes flashed with wisdom, Xiao Ran said in a deep voice.
"Well, it's normal that human flesh is very attractive to zombies. If it wasn't attractive, those secondary infected wouldn't chase us and bite us, right..."
But Lu Yu obviously didn't understand the statement in Little Loli's mouth, and the look on his face was still confused.
"Look at the other two skeletons."
Lu Yu looked in the direction of Xiao Ran, and there were indeed two skeletons with their wrists also cuffed in handcuffs in front of them against the wall.
It's just that compared to the one in front of them, the skulls of the two skeletons on the opposite side have long disappeared, and there is relatively more dried meat on the body, which has not been chewed very clean.
"The signs of being eaten on the two skeletons are obviously less than the one in front of us, and the position of the eating is also very particular."
The little Loli stepped forward slowly and stood in front of two skullless skeletons.
"The skull in front of you shows signs of being eaten. The skull has completely disappeared. There are varying degrees of signs of eating on the neck, armpits and inner thighs of the skull, but there are still a lot of shriveled pieces of meat hanging in other places. This What does it mean?"
"Um...it means that zombie is picky about food...is it full?"
Lu Yu felt that he clearly understood every word Xiaoran said, but he couldn't understand the meaning after connecting them together, so he had to answer uncertainly.
"Of course it's not that they are full...the different positions of the gnawing means that these two skeletons have become zombies before being eaten."
Xiaoran shook his head helplessly, worried about Lu Yu's IQ.
"Didn't the prime-level zombies also devour the other's body after they were fighting with the same kind downstairs? The bite locations were also the skull, neck, armpits and inner thighs."
"But if the zombies were biting humans, they would not selectively eat certain locations, let alone bite open the other person's skull."
After a detailed explanation, Lu Yu finally understood why Xiao Ran could see the difference between the three skeletons at once, and he expressed his sincere admiration.
"Is it such a detail... Who can see this? I guess only people like you, whose brains have been strengthened by the virus, can find it..."
"If you memorize and observe carefully, you can also find the difference, but you are just lazy..."
Xiao Ran rolled his eyes at Lu Yu angrily and moved his eyes to the side.
"What makes me wonder is why there is an empty pair of handcuffs here..."
Looking in the direction of Xiaoran's fingers, Lu Yu found that there was indeed a pair of handcuffs beside him. One section of the handcuffs was connected to the horizontal bar of the table, but the other end was empty, with nothing on it.
"Maybe he broke free..."
Lu Yu held his chin with one hand and looked deep in thought.
"Break off the handcuffs... That will definitely hurt your wrists... Oh! I remembered!"
As if a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind, the details that Lu Yu had previously put aside resurfaced.
The skinny monster that died inexplicably outside the door just had strangulation marks on its wrists. It must have been caused when it broke free from these handcuffs.
When he informed Xiaoran of his speculation, the original expression appeared on the other person's face instantly.
In fact, the little girl was originally worried that there were some monsters in the police station, so she was extremely wary of the empty handcuffs.
Now that Lu Yu explained it like this, she completely let go of the last trace of vigilance in her heart and began to search the office confidently and boldly.
Zhang Tiehua and Yu Libo were still in a comatose state, so Lu Yu ignored them after dragging them into the police station and left them lying on the ground.
Anyway, as long as they don't get eaten by zombies as snacks while they are sleeping, there is nothing they can do if the other conditions are slightly more difficult.
Just as Lu Yu and Xiao Ran were immersed in searching for available resources in the office, a low whimper suddenly came from inside the police station.
It wasn't very obvious at first, but as time went by it kept getting louder, and finally caught Xiao Ran's attention.
"Did you hear a strange sound..."
The little Loli listened for a moment, then pulled the young man beside her and asked in a low voice.
"There is no strange sound. There is no living thing except the two of us in this police station..."
Lu Yu raised his head and said subconsciously.
But before he finished speaking, the young man stopped searching in his hands, and there was a slight doubt in his pair of red phoenixes.
"Hiss, there seems to be a real sound... Could it be that there are other monsters in the police station..."
After simply confirming the source of the sound, Lu Yu quickly pulled out his pistol and pushed the bullet into the chamber.
Nowadays, the police station is a relatively closed environment. If there is really a monster inside, killing it is the only option.
"Follow me and go to the inner detention room to take a look..."
After glancing at Xiao Ran, Lu Yu swallowed and began to move slowly outside the office.
In fact, when I first joined the police
He had already made a cursory observation when he arrived at the police station, but because the internal detention room was in a blind spot and the door was locked, Lu Yu did not explore further inside.
Even if there is a monster, judging from the intactness of the iron fence, it should be trapped in the detention room, and it is impossible to escape and threaten the safety of the two people.
The angle of view expanded as they continued to advance, and the young man and the little girl soon arrived inside the police station, in front of the detention room with iron bars.
There were several corpses in blue and white striped hospital gowns lying in the first detention room. Most of the corpses had signs of being bitten, and some of the severely damaged corpses even had their internal bones exposed.
The floor of the detention room was filled with rotting filth. As Lu Yu and Xiao Ran continued to approach, the stench in the air quickly became stronger, until an invisible wall formed in front of the two, preventing them from taking another step forward.
Write a book
"Why are there so many corpses here? Maybe the air is polluted..."
Covering his mouth and nose, Lu Yu took a step forward, wanting to take a look at the situation in the detention room.
But the moment he took steps, the body lying on the ground suddenly twitched, and then raised its head in the direction of the iron fence.
"Ouch!"
With a hoarse roar, the seemingly lifeless corpse climbed up from the ground and rushed towards Lu Yu's direction using both hands and feet.
Lifeless gray eyeballs, ulcerated skin, and a bloody mouth that stretched from ear to ear.
There is no doubt that this "corpse" that came back from the dead is a secondary infected body.
Seeing the zombies rushing toward him, Lu Yu did not panic. He just pulled his left leg back to its original position and looked at the zombies with a calm face as they threw themselves against the iron fence.
If the monster in the detention room at the moment was a mutated zombie, then Lu Yu might still be a little wary.
But it was just a secondary infected body, and the young man was not worried at all that it would break through the restrictions of the fence.
"Do you want to get rid of it? Although it doesn't threaten us, it's quite noisy when it keeps howling like this..."
The little loli frowned slightly and suggested.
"Leave it for now and think of other ways later. There is no need to waste bullets and crossbow bolts on a secondary infected body."
After carefully looking at the iron fence in front of him for a while, and confirming that this layer of restrictions would not be easily broken, Lu Yu said lightly and walked towards the detention room next door.
Although it was unclear why there were a group of irritating infected people wearing blue and white striped hospital gowns in the detention room, as long as these zombies did not threaten him, Lu Yu was not too lazy to expend effort to deal with them.
Just howl, it's not very loud anyway, the police station door has been closed, so it won't attract the secondary infected wandering on the road outside.
If it doesn't work, just find a stick or something and kill it and that's it.
Compared to the detention room where the secondary infected bodies were held, the floor of the other detention room seemed much cleaner. Although there was a faint odor, it was much better than the corpse odor emitted by the rotting corpses.
"Hey, there are a lot of scratches on this iron fence...it seems like it was scratched repeatedly by some hard sharp object..."
His eyes fell on the iron fence in front of him. The metal pole as thick as his thumb was covered with scratches of varying depths. Some were just shallow marks, while others were deep marks.
"This was caught..."
The little Loli who was following Lu Yu also noticed these scratches. She pondered for a moment and said something shocking...
