"What's wrong?"
Su Yu, who was following closely behind Chen Yiqian, asked.
Chen Yigan pointed at the tops of everyone's heads. The ceiling of the entire passage was hollow and empty, with only five small "beetles" hovering above it. This was what they flew down following their master when they jumped into the tunnel.
"The color of the lights on them has changed." Chen Yigan said.
Su Yu and the others looked up and saw that the blue light that the beetle was originally flashing turned into red.
"The power is out," Zheng Wang said.
"How come?" Hao Tian interrupted him, "Isn't this still flying?"
"There is no signal." Chen Yiqian continued: "I remember that this channel is not so airtight. The signal on the hand screen was still full last time."
Su Yu nodded: "Although the entire actual combat base blocked the signals of the hand screens at the beginning of the competition, there is no reason to block the signals of these cameras."
"So, no one will see our current whereabouts." Zhao Dacheng said suddenly.
Chen Yiqian began to stride forward: "Let's get out quickly, it's better not to stay here."
Before he finished speaking, there were sudden and dragging footsteps coming from the front of the passage.
All five people were shocked by the sound.
"Is there anyone?" Hao Tian asked with wide eyes.
But hearing the shuffling steps, a familiar feeling filled my heart.
"The actual combat base won't... put zombies here." Hao Tian's voice came from the darkness behind him again.
The other four people also felt this way.
Before they could take a step back, suddenly, a bloody face appeared in the beam of Chen Yiqian's hand screen.
Half of the face's skin was torn off, the flesh and blood drooped on the chin, and a row of white teeth was vaguely exposed from the cheek.
This is a human face, not as shriveled as those zombies in the domestication base, but a fresh human face.
But he stretched his neck, couldn't bite his upper and lower teeth, and was spitting saliva. He already looked like a complete zombie.
There is only one possibility. This zombie is a living person who has just been infected.
Under the beam, although the face was bloody and bloody, it still looked familiar.
"This is, this is..." Zheng Wang's voice trembled a little, and he could feel his lips trembling unconsciously.
"This is... Liu Xu from the Goshawk Team."
Zheng Wang's last word "Xu" changed the tone, because Liu Xu had already opened his hands and rushed towards the five people.
Its mouth was like a constantly opening and closing mousetrap, biting at Chen Yigan at the front.
This is not a tame zombie wearing a muzzle and gloves released from the actual combat base. This is a fresh zombie with intact limbs and strength that has just been infected.
Its power was huge, and it caught Chen Yiqian off guard in an instant.
Chen Yiqian was pressed under him, his hands pressed against the zombie Liu Xu's collarbone, causing its mouth to bite the air repeatedly with each attack.
Su Yu, who was the closest, had nothing to take advantage of. The light beam on her hand screen was swinging back and forth. She flew up and kicked Liu Xu in the head.
The zombie Liu Xu was kicked far away, and Chen Yiqian was finally able to get up from the ground.
But Liu Xu was now at the time when the zombie was most energetic, so this kick was just a kick to it that kicked it out, and did not cause any physical damage to it.
It stood up straight again and ran towards this side with its teeth and claws bared.
Under the light, the drooping flesh on its face seemed to have been kicked off by Su Yu's kick just now, so that the entire row of teeth on its cheeks were directly exposed, making it look extremely terrifying.
Except for Zhao Dacheng, who was carrying Hao Tian on his back, the other three people directly picked up their guns and bows.
But deeper into the passage, the unique roar of zombies and the sound of teeth clashing came again.
"It's not like the entire team has changed." Chen Yiqian's tone seemed to be filled with certainty.
"He's no longer a human. Let's kill him first." Su Yu said, pointing the light from his hand screen directly at the zombie Liu Xu's eyebrows.
Chen Yiqian and Zheng Wang immediately understood what she meant and shot "Peng Peng" twice.
Liu Xu stopped moving and fell to the ground on his back.
The four zombies behind have also rushed to the front. Without exception, they have fresh wounds, most of them dripping with blood.
One of them had his neck broken in half, his chest was a bloody mess, even his ribs were exposed, and there was a big bloody hole in his abdomen, with something like intestinal juice dripping out.
Zheng Wang recognized that it was the captain of the Goshawk Team, the one who stole food from other teams in the last Demon Hunting Competition.
At this time, there was no time to judge whether a person was good or bad, not to mention that it was already a walking corpse, so no one had any idea of mercy.
Hao Tian lay on Zhao Dacheng's back and turned on the hand screen lighting, so that Su Yu could free his hands to shoot.
She and Zhao Dacheng cooperated very well, and the two of them could accurately shine on every zombie's head every time.
Su Yu pulled out two arrow feathers with his backhand, quickly placed them on An Ye's bow arm, then turned the bow sideways and drew the bow to its full length.
"Whoosh——"
Two arrows were shot out at the same time.
The two zombies that came side by side fell to the ground instantly.
Chen Yiqian was a little surprised by Su Yu's archery skills. He didn't expect that she could kill two targets at the same time.
Hao Tian once again cast the light on the heads of the other two zombies. This time, before Su Yu could take action, Chen Yiqian and Zheng Wang ended the battle one by one.
The entire passage fell into deathly silence again.
Su Yu and the others looked at the five corpses lying on the ground, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.
"We have to report the situation here to the competition organizing committee immediately." Zhao Dacheng said. He raised his head and gestured to the five "Beetles" hovering in the sky, and then said: "No one can see what happened here."
"This is too weird. How did they become like this? There must be a zombie first." Hao Tian said.
Su Yu didn't answer. She pulled out the dagger at her side and walked towards the five zombie corpses.
"What are you doing?" Zheng Wang asked: "We are all classmates... No, there is no need to be so cruel."
"This is an anesthesia warhead. Do you want them to bite you again later?" Chen Yigan said and pulled out the long knife from his back to help Su Yu make up for it.
Most people's cold weapons were short knives and daggers, which were easy to carry on the battlefield. Only Chen Yigan chose a long knife and carried it on his back.
But it looks pretty cool this way.
Su Yu inserted the dagger between the zombie's eyebrows, then flipped his wrist and turned the sharp blade in a circle.
The sound of flesh and blood being torn apart by sharp blades could be heard very clearly in the passage.
Chen Yiqian looked at Su Yu's technique and suddenly didn't recognize her at all.
"You...are really a bit cruel."
He looked at her profile and couldn't match the lingering impression in his mind.
Su Yu ignored Chen Yiqian because she suddenly heard another sound from deep in the passage.
"Did you hear that?"
The four of them nodded in unison.
Su Yu looked deep into the passage: "What Hao Tian said just now is right."
"There must be another zombie."
