After Xu Tutu asked, he looked at Su Yu beside him.
"Why are you here at this time?" He turned to Su Yu and asked.
Su Yu explained to him with a smile: "I went to the hunting team camp and stopped by to have a look. These are all my friends."
Xu Tutu nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he opened the door behind him a little, turned around and entered the monitoring room.
Seeing that he meant to let the four people in, Su Yu called on several other people to go in together.
It was the first time for Zhao Dacheng, Hao Tian and Zheng Wang to come to the monitoring room. They were both unfamiliar and curious about everything. They looked around.
There are only two chairs here, and Xu Tutu is sitting in front of the computer screen writing an observation log.
Su Yu did not disturb him, and simply observed the zombie Chou Chou from the monitoring room with the other three people.
At first glance, she discovered the yellow ring around Chou Chou's ankle.
When Su Yu went to see Wu Xu, he bought zombie-specific skin care oil from the black market and put it on the table in the monitoring room for Xu Tutu when he came to feed Chou Chou. After all, she has no experience and cannot directly apply medicine to Chou Chou.
Seeing that there is now a yellow amber-like coating on Chou Chou's ankle, Xu Tutu may have applied skin care oil to it.
"This skin care oil is really the same as the layer on the corpse pile outside Central City." Su Yu said.
Zheng Wang and Hao Tian also came over to take a look.
"That's not true." Xu Tutu turned around, "I haven't started using the bottle you bought yet."
He swiped his hand twice on the computer screen, seemingly pulling out the observation logs from the past few days.
"A week ago, this yellow liquid started to flow out of Chou Chou's ankle, and then the crack gradually closed up." He said looking at the record in the diary.
"You mean, it secretes this kind of protective fluid on its own?" Su Yu was a little surprised. After all, she had heard Chen Yiqian say that this phenomenon could only be seen in the corpse pile in Central City, and it also happened to dead zombies. on the body.
Xu Tutu nodded: "I always feel that some changes in Chou Chou are going in a direction to adapt to survival."
"This is probably called...evolution?" Zhao Dacheng suddenly spoke up and joined the conversation between the two.
"You can say that. From the time when it had vision to when the protective fluid leaked out from the wound, it was a beneficial change." Xu Tutu nodded.
Su Yu looked at Chou Chou. She had encountered unusual zombies one after another recently, and she agreed with what Xu Tutu and Zhao Dacheng said.
"Have you seen the zombie from the dissection team opposite?" Su Yu suddenly asked Xu Tutu.
"No," Xu Tutu replied inexplicably: "The autopsy team is always secretive, and I am too lazy to pry into their affairs."
The five of them stayed in the monitoring room for a while. After Xu Tutu finished writing the observation log, he planned to return to the dormitory. Su Yu and the others also left the training base together.
It was getting very late, and the four of them still had to wait for the campus bus in the cold wind.
Because Xu Tutu always had to transport some ingredients and tools for taming zombies, he had long bought a small half-truck tricycle. When he stayed late at the taming base and missed the bus, he always used to drive back.
When Xu Tutu drove the tricycle out of the training base, he immediately saw four poor little people waiting for the campus bus in the cold wind.
Su Yu watched Xu Tutu drive by on a tricycle and waved goodbye to him.
Xu Tutu drove the car far away, then turned around and drove back.
He stopped the car in front of the four of them and said hesitantly: "If you don't mind it..."
He said and pointed to the carriage.
"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it. Brother, you are such a good person." Zheng Wang climbed up immediately.
Upon seeing this, the other three people quickly thanked him and followed him into the carriage.
The moon was sparse, and the cold wind at night was blowing to the bones thanks to the speed of the tricycle.
Xu Tutu's eyes were narrowed by the wind in front, and the hair of the four people in the carriage was blown away by the wind.
Zheng Wang patted Xu Tutu on the shoulder and shouted loudly with the sound of wind: "Brother, your car is simply the most popular car in our college."
After he finished speaking, he turned to the three people in the car and shouted: "Wait for us to buy one too!"
Hao Tian smiled and gave him a thumbs up, and Zhao Dacheng and Su Yu also laughed.
Xu Tutu didn't respond. The four people in the carriage couldn't see his expression, but he himself felt the corners of his lips twitching slightly unconsciously.
…
Su Yu and Hao Tian returned to the girls' dormitory, washed themselves, turned off the lights and went to bed.
On the bed opposite, Hao Tian's even breathing gradually sounded, but Su Yu still didn't feel sleepy.
All she could think about was the amber protective layer growing on Chou Chou's ankles.
After thinking about it, Su Yu opened the phone screen and found Chen Yiqian's profile picture on call me. I don’t know why the avatar of such a naughty person is so simple. It is actually a silver-white bow and arrow.
Su Yu clicked on the dialog box, described Chou Chou's change, and sent it.
Chen Yiqian didn't reply immediately. Su Yu looked at the screen and saw that the sent message remained unread.
Su Yu looked at the time, it was already one o'clock in the morning. Maybe Chen Yiqian had fallen asleep. She no longer waited for a reply, turned over and tried to fall asleep.

At the same time, outside the central city.
Countless zombies were wandering around the pile of corpses in the moonlight, and two heavy armored vehicles parked silently in the middle of a group of zombies.
Suddenly, a gunshot broke the silence.
A zombie not far from the armored vehicle staggered, then limped forward as if nothing had happened.
Immediately afterwards, there were three more gunshots, and the knees and ankles of the lame zombie's legs were shot again. The blasted flesh and bones were not enough to support it standing, and it lay on its back with a thud.
The zombies around him didn't react at all to such an unexpected situation, and were still wandering around aimlessly.
The door of the armored vehicle parked in front opened, and a man wearing protective clothing and a protective helmet stepped out. He walked to the fallen zombie and squatted down gently.
The zombie who was hit in the joints of his lower limbs stared blankly at the sky. There was no pain on his face, and his hands were still swinging unconsciously.
The man in protective clothing lowered his head and carefully inspected the wounds on the zombie's legs, and found that there was nothing extra except for the flying flesh and rotten flesh that was about to fester.
He sighed heavily.
But then, reflecting in the bright moonlight, he suddenly saw a trace of viscous liquid slowly flowing out from the crack in the bone at the ankle where the zombie shot first.
It was a mucus-like substance that was close to golden yellow. The man in protective clothing immediately took out a glass test tube from the box he carried. There is some unknown pink substance at the bottom of this test tube, which is used to prevent the liquid from solidifying quickly.
He placed the test tube against the zombie's wound to collect the liquid.
Because the liquid was very viscous and flowed slowly, this process lasted for half an hour, and only one third of the test tube was filled.
And the crack in the bone is almost healed.
