"Hey~ little sister~~~"
A slightly obscene voice came from the back seat. Before 457 could finish speaking, Hamilton warned him without looking back.
"Although I'm a little interested in you, don't cause trouble for yourself."
"Uh... I just wanted to have a casual chat with your companion, and I didn't mean to hurt her..." As he said that, 457 shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he had no ill intentions.
"No, your Minkowski unit is too high and it will have an uncontrollable impact on her."
Hamilton's attitude was still decisive, leaving no room for negotiation.
"Okay, okay, then I'll shut up." 457 raised his eyebrows and gave up the idea of asking.
But Sun Jiayi, who was in the passenger seat, turned around, blinked at the young man for a while, and said to the black man next to him.
"Old man, if we just chatted for a few words, it should be fine. Didn't I talk a lot with Lao Zhang and the others before..."
"They are different!"
Before the girl could finish speaking, Hamilton interrupted directly.
"……All right……"
???????????????
Sun Jiayi pouted, her face full of reluctance.
However, this state only lasted for a few seconds before the girl's eyes lit up again and she changed the chat partner from the young man with the robotic arm to Zhang Jike, who was resting with his eyes closed.
"Then it's okay for me and Uncle Zhang to chat, right?"
Hamilton nodded slightly: "Okay."
"Uncle Zhang, what kind of danger did you encounter just now? How could you be so seriously injured? And where are Brother Ma and that big guy who likes to eat pig balls? Why aren't they with you?"
Sun Jiayi came up with three questions. When she woke up Zhang Jike, she also felt a little speechless.
After hesitating for a while, the middle-aged soldier coughed lightly and decided to answer the next two questions first.
"Because we encountered danger, for the sake of safety, I asked Xiao Ma and A Hai to go to the Siming Mountain shelter first, while I stayed behind to cover their evacuation."
"So that's it..." Sun Jiayi murmured, with a thoughtful look on her face.
Zhang Jike slowly raised his eyelids, a trace of imperceptible complexity flashed in his eyes, and soon returned to his previous sleepy state.
"Uncle Zhang, what kind of danger did you encounter? With your ability, you still can't cope with it...I understand, it must be a very powerful mutated creature, right?!"
】
Sun Jiayi recalled the scene of smoke and dust billowing in Yunlong Town in her mind, and guessed aloud.
"Mutated creatures... I guess..." Zhang Jike forced a smile on his face, intending to blur the question.
Although the existence of general-level zombies is no longer a secret, Zhang Jike understands that once he fully tells his experience to Sun Jiayi, it will definitely have a huge impact on the girl.
But the girl was obviously not that easy to fool. Seeing Zhang Jike's ambiguous answer, she pretended to be angry and continued to ask.
"Uncle Zhang, please tell me in detail what kind of mutated creature you encountered. The old man and I have an idea. If we encounter it next time, we can make some preparations in advance."
"Well……"
Zhang Jike glanced at Hamilton who was driving with a guilty look. After seeing that the other party did not respond, he thought about it in his mind before speaking slowly.
"Actually, we didn't just encounter mutant creatures. Specifically, we encountered general-level zombies..." "General-level zombies?!" the girl exclaimed, her big eyes full of curiosity, but not much fear. .
"Yes, there are two heads. This is the head of one of them."
Wang Yu interrupted and turned his head in his arms slightly maliciously.
Sun Jiayi shrank her neck, obviously frightened by the woman's sudden reply.
But soon she poked her head out from behind the seat again, her voice trembling: "This...isn't this a human head..."
"According to the data recorded in the optical brain, the appearance of general-level zombies in most timelines is the same as that of humans, distinguished by their purple irises and majestic mental power."
Hamilton's voice sounded, answering Sun Jiayi's question. At the same time, the bionic man also glanced coldly at Wang Yu in the back seat.
It seemed to be a warning to the other party for his random remarks.
"Oh, I see……"
After hearing Hamilton's explanation, the girl's face showed surprise, but she was still afraid of the head in the woman's arms.
"So, Lao Zhang..." Hamilton turned his head back and asked aloud while driving: "Have you encountered a general-level zombie that can control mutated creatures? ?”
"That's right." Zhang Jike nodded, his face full of exhaustion.
"Can you describe the number and appearance of the mutated creatures? I'll make a note."
Pointing to his brain, Hamilton did not forget to add, "For the sake of the light of freedom, you two please stay quiet and don't say unnecessary words. Thank you."
The young man and woman looked at each other and could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.
"...Uh...a lizard with a human face, possessing mimetic invisibility and..."
In the next few minutes, Zhang Jike recounted how he met the Corpse General Lin Tanying and the followers under his command. He focused on describing the appearance characteristics of the human-faced lizard Da Cai and the tentacled boy Deaf Sheep, and also described He talked about the strange parasite on Qin Tian and a series of things that happened after the parasite parasitized Wang Yu and himself.
Only Zhang Ning, whom he met at the end, was not mentioned.
After listening to Zhang Jike's description, a thoughtful look appeared on Hamilton's face, and he answered after a while.
"You mentioned that the human-faced lizard that can only increase the mental power of general-level zombies should be a hybrid, and that the little boy with the blue-ringed octopus tentacles on his back is more likely to be an aberration..."
"Aberration...so that little boy is not a mutant creature in a strict sense, but a mutant zombie?"
Zhang Jike knew the difference between 'aberrant' and 'hybrid', but obviously didn't know much, so he asked tentatively.
"Yes, according to the data recorded in the optical brain, the probability of an organism gaining intelligence after distortion is much higher than after hybridization. This can be confirmed from your description."
"Is it because the tentacle boy can talk but the human-faced lizard can't?" Sun Jiayi, who had been listening in, couldn't help but interrupt.
"In a simple judgment, yes." Hamilton nodded, "But there are special cases. For example, my optical brain records an aberrant creature with a hive mind."
"Old man, what is the strange thing parasitic on Uncle Zhang? A hybrid or an aberration?"
Sun Jiayi asked again, just like a curious baby.
Hearing the girl mention this, Wang Yu and Zhang Heng in the back seat straightened their backs silently.
The human-faced lizard Dacai and the tentacle boy are not strange existences to them, and similar weird existences have also appeared in their respective timelines.
But this was the first time the two of them had encountered a parasitic creature like the one they encountered today that could parasitize on a general-level zombie, invade the target's body without anyone noticing, and completely control the opponent's mind. arrive.
In addition, Wang Yu may need this kind of creature as the main ingredient for blending potions, so he listened very carefully.
However, what surprised a few people was that the old man who was talking like a textbook just now was like a jammed radio. He said "uh" for a long time without saying a word.
"Eh? Don't you know, old man?" Sun Jiayi's eyes became more curious.
She was actually not very interested in the parasite she had never seen before, but the old man's performance really aroused her desire to explore.
"I have no memory. When we get there, we can retrieve the information stored in the optical brain..."
"Oh fine……"
Knowing that she would not know the answer for a while, the curiosity in the girl's eyes gradually disappeared, and she turned to Zhang Jike: "Uncle Zhang, is that all? Are there any mutant creatures or mutant zombies that you missed?"
"...That's it...there shouldn't be anything else..."
Zhang Jike drawled a long note, his eyes drifting toward the window with a guilty conscience.
Just when this topic was about to come to an end, Wang Yu's voice suddenly sounded.
"Hey, you sleepy cat, have you forgotten the last zombie? You are telling a story to a girl, you don't want to miss the point..."
"Private level zombie?"
Following Sun Jiayi's inquiry, the advancing off-road vehicle suddenly stopped suddenly, its tires leaving two dark brake marks on the ground.
Except for the girl's exclamation, there was silence in the carriage.
"Old man, what are you doing? Why did you hit the brakes so hard!"
"Oh, it seems like something ran in front of the car just now. Jiayi, please go down and help me see if I hit you..."
A smile appeared on Hamilton's face, and he unexpectedly asked the girl to get out of the car to check.
"Okay." The latter responded without any suspicion.
As soon as the girl got off the car, Hamilton's expression turned cold instantly, and he stared at the woman in the back seat with a red light in his eyes.
"I told you, shut your mouth, otherwise, I won't mind killing you two on the spot!"
Wang Yu was a little confused after being warned, and cast a questioning look at the middle-aged soldier at a loss.
Zhang Jike curled his lips, leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes.
"Old man, there is nothing in front of the car. I looked around and found nothing."
The car door opened, and Sun Jiayi truthfully reported what she saw while getting in the car.
"Oh, maybe I got it wrong. Brain tissue just doesn't have electronic equipment to work with, haha..."
Facing the girl, the black man put a smile on his face again, as if the previous scene of warning Wang Yu never happened.
"Hey - I said..."
Wang Yu was a little unconvinced when she reacted. It seemed that she was planning to argue with Hamilton, but before the woman could finish her words, a silver-white mechanical palm pressed down on her knee.
457 first shook his head at the woman, and then spoke to the driver's seat.
"When we get to the place, let's have a good chat..."
