Seeing Li Baiyi charging towards the giant sword, 659 thought that the other party was trying to take advantage of the chaos to make a sneak attack, so he immediately stepped forward and prepared to stop him.
But before the two of them came into contact, Li Baiyi immediately explained.
"This place is going to collapse, take your sword and run away!"
It turned out that the general-level zombie was just worried that the two of them would drop the giant sword.
Seeing that Li Baiyi really had no intention of snatching the weapon, 659 stepped back and gave Zhang Ning a look.
Zhang Ning also understood the situation and immediately drew out his giant sword and quickly ran towards the entrance of the cave.
The first one to get out was naturally the general-level zombie Li Baiyi, followed by Zhang Ning who was carrying a giant sword.
The last one to come out was World Breaker 659.
As soon as 659 stepped out, the cave where the Snake King had stayed collapsed, and a large amount of dust spurted out from the opening, making the air in the passage extremely polluted.
After the three people ran out of the cave, the violent tremors stopped suddenly.
The underground nest did not collapse, but the cave where the Snake King was located collapsed.
"Ahem, what's going on..."
Feeling that the tremors had stopped, Zhang Ning covered his face with one hand and asked angrily.
"It's probably a sudden earthquake. There are many seismic volcanic zones in the East District, and earthquakes often occur. We are underground, so it is normal to feel stronger earthquakes."
Li Baiyi dusted off his loose robe and explained.
"It seems that this place is not suitable for staying for a long time. We need to leave here as soon as possible. A sudden earthquake is likely to awaken the mutant snakes in the underground nest."
659 glanced around and found that the entrance to the cave was not completely buried by falling rocks and debris. There was still a small half space above with red light, and the situation inside could be seen.
It's just that if people want to pass through this opening, they can't walk in, they need to get in.
"It makes sense. If those snakes wake up, we won't be able to eat and walk around. Why not go find little Ada's body first?"
A worried look appeared on Zhang Ning's face. It would be better if this intermittent earthquake didn't happen. If it happened a few more times and accidentally collapsed the hole in the ground, little Ada's body would never be brought out. .
659 naturally understood Zhang Ning's concerns, pondered for a moment, and responded.
"Okay, let's go find little Ada's body first."
After a moment of pause, he looked at the general-level zombies in front and added.
"Li Baiyi, please tell us on the way that Lu Yu is still alive."
"good……"
After reaching a consensus, 659 and the general-level zombies retreated behind Zhang Ning and began to search in the underground cave.
Fortunately, the location of the few people is in the center of the entire snake nest, with snake holes of different sizes extending in all directions.
Naturally, you don't even need to look at those small caves, because they are simply not big enough to accommodate the body of an adult.
The caves Zhang Ning explored were all those that could accommodate a single person.
After some searching, little Ada's body was finally found in a hidden earth cave.
As 659 analyzed at the time, Poisonous Boa, the owner of Diwozi, did not devour little Ada's body, but left it lying in the corner.
Without disturbing the dormant poisonous anaconda, Zhang Ning made a silent gesture toward the back and quietly slipped into the small nest.
After some carrying and dragging, little Ada's body was pulled out.
Because he was injured by the poisonous anaconda, little Ada's body was not infected with the secondary virus, and naturally he would not turn into a blood-eating, flesh-eating zombie.
This was originally a good thing, but now Zhang Ning still had to hold a giant sword, so he couldn't free up his hands to carry the corpse.
You can't drag little Ada's body all the way back, right?
After thinking about it, Zhang Ning turned his attention to 659.
However, 659 had no intention of taking over the body. Instead, he directed Zhang Ning's gaze to the general-level zombie Li Baiyi beside him.
"How about you, Li Baiyi, carry it?"
Zhang Ning said tentatively.
Handing the body of his former companion to a general was a scene that Zhang Ning had never imagined in the eleven years since the disaster broke out.
"Fine……"
Li Baiyi wanted to refuse, but after seeing Zhang Ning's eyes and the giant sword in his hand, he agreed after thinking for a moment.
However, he did not reach out to take the body, he just tentatively spoke.
"The cells in his body are still active. How about I turn him into a secondary infected body and let him go on his own..."
"no!"
Before Li Baiyi could finish speaking, 659 flatly rejected the request.
Although one more secondary infected body will not pose a substantial threat to them, it will bury a factor of uncertainty.
The butterfly effect is called the butterfly effect because very small changes can bring about huge changes.
Who knows what a huge impact the addition of a secondary infected body will have on the subsequent development of the timeline.
659's rejection seemed to be expected by Li Baiyi. Without saying anything, he reached out and took the body from Zhang Ning's back.
After the conversation just now, the two of them had already discussed their next destination.
I don't know if Li Baiyi deliberately concealed it, or if he didn't know the details of the matter.
In short, in the conversation just now, 659 and Zhang Ning only learned that Lu Yu was still alive.
As for how he was resurrected, according to Li Baiyi's description, it seemed that it was through an unusually rare fungus.
Walking in the winding cave, 659 once again asked about Lu Yu's resurrection.
"Li Baiyi, you said before that Lu Yu was resurrected through a rare fungus?"
"That's right."
Li Baiyi, who was walking at the front with the body on his back, nodded in response.
"But Zhang Ning said that Lu Yu's body was brought back to the human race. If it was not cremated, it should be well sealed at this moment. How could there be a chance to come into contact with that rare fungus?"
659's words were full of doubts, and he obviously didn't believe everything Li Baiyi said.
"As far as I know, Lu Yu was not resurrected through his original body. His method of resurrection was closer to cloning."
"Clone? Didn't you say that Lu Yu was resurrected through some kind of fungus?"
This time it was Zhang Ning who raised the question.
He has survived for eleven years in the apocalypse. Although he is not a member of the military, he does not understand the biological data collected by the military.
But as a wilderness hunter, Zhang Ning has his own way of remembering those strange mutant creatures.
"Yes, according to Chen Youguo's description, it was that weird fungus that cloned Lu Yu's body and made him live again."
"In other words, the one who came back to life was not Lu Yu who was killed by the third-order horse, but another one was born again?"
659's pupils narrowed slightly and he asked.
"Yes, it can be understood that way." Li Baiyi responded.
"Have you seen that kind of fungus? What are its characteristics?"
Data flows on the transparent mirror. While asking, 659 once again opened the monocle's database.
He planned to use Li Baiyi's description to find the matching mutated fungus.
But what was also disappointing was that Li Baiyi didn't seem to have seen that kind of fungi. He shook his head decisively and gave a negative answer.
"I have never seen that kind of fungi. Everything about Lu Yu was told to me by Chen Youguo."
"Chen Youguo told you this? He is a seventh-level general, how can he have time to talk to you about this?"
Zhang Ning felt that both he and 659 were deceived. Li Baiyi said a lot, but it turned out that it was all from other people's mouths?
The true extent of that matter needs to be verified.
"Although Chen Youguo is at the seventh level, he has a hobby, that is, he likes to drink rice insect wine, and he will get drunk whenever he drinks it."
"And he also likes to have someone to drink with him."
After saying this, Li Baiyi turned his head and glanced behind him.
"Anyone who can drink with a general is naturally a general."
"The other nine generals among the top ten generals in the Eastern Region look down upon Chen Youguo and disdain to drink with him."
"As for the slightly lower-level generals, Chen Youguo is worried that he will become the blood food of the opponent's evolution when he is drunk."
"So his drinking buddies are usually the lowest-ranking generals like me. They can drink with him to relieve his boredom without posing a threat to him."
Hearing this, 659 and Zhang Ning had a look of surprise on their faces.
The battles between zombies are not as roundabout as those between humans. The only truth they believe in is strength.
As long as you are strong enough, you can do whatever you want!
Likewise, they do not have any concept of hierarchy.
This applies to all zombies.
Even the wise generals are no exception.
If you are a higher level than me, then I will find a way to kill you!
Then he will devour your flesh and blood, recognize your followers, and take your place!
There is no such thing as a low-level general being in awe of a high-level general from the bottom of his heart.
If there was no rule that general-level zombies whose levels were too different could not eat each other, Chen Youguo would probably not dare to find lower-level zombies to drink with him.
"As for me, I was proficient in wine-making technology before the disaster broke out. After the disaster broke out, I quickly mastered the method of making wine with rice insects. After this back and forth, I naturally developed a relationship with Chen Youguo..."
"So that's it..."
Hearing this, 659 and Zhang Ning both nodded to express their understanding.
Li Baiyi, a general zombie, saw that the two of them had no intention of asking, so he continued.
"I heard from Chen Youguo that although that weird fungus can clone Lu Yu's body and resurrect it, it also needs supplementary means."
"Because the whole process cannot be handled by one person, Lu Yu approached him and the two parties reached a deal."
"Of course, this transaction is confidential. No other person except Chen Youguo and Lu Yu knows about it."
At this point, a trace of imperceptible doubt suddenly flashed across 659's face.
Zhang Ning, on the other hand, seemed to have discovered a flaw in the other party's words and immediately spoke.
"No third person knows? Then don't you know? No matter how drunk Chen Youguo is, he can't completely forget what he said when he was drunk, right?"
When Zhang Ning refuted it, Li Baiyi just added lightly.
"What I mean is that at that time, if Lu Yu fulfilled the promised remuneration in the transaction, then Chen Youguo would most likely take this matter to his grave."
"..."
