This is a spiritual zombie. As a human, I don’t know what abilities it has, but since it has never used an attack skill until now, it can be seen that this zombie was most likely an auxiliary special ability user during its lifetime.
After binding the zombie's hands, Lin Qingqing found an identity tag on it, proving that it was indeed a scout of the Xilin Border Guard Corps.
In addition to this name tag, this zombie also has a small military voice recorder.
There were several bloody fingerprints on this recording pen. It was obvious that its owner had used it at a very important moment.
"Yaxiu, come and check it out."
Lin Qingqing handed it into Yin Yaxiu's hands, and Yin Yaxiu quickly deciphered the contents of the recording pen.
"Captain, there is an encrypted audio here. It is a commonly used encryption method in the military."
With that said, Yin Yaxiu played the deciphered audio.
"Zizi~ This is the Xuanwu Third Border Guard Army, Xilin Border Guard Regiment, and the First Reconnaissance Team... We encountered a giant zombie attack on the morning of January 13, 2023... Everyone was dispersed..."
"On the night of January 14th, at 21:40, I couldn't move my legs... I can't bring trouble to everyone...
"I want to live, I must stay alive and wait for everyone to come back..."
"On the evening of January 16th, at 19:04, I seem...I can't wait for you all, but it doesn't matter. I believe everyone will be able to bring the information back safely...Long live China, mankind...will...win... "
The voice in the recording became lower and lower every sentence, and after saying the two words "must win", there was no sound anymore.
Everyone was silent. The words in this recorder were obviously recorded by the zombie himself. It can be heard from the recording that on January 14, the day the Qingmang team arrived on the Siberian Plateau, the reconnaissance team was attacked by giant zombies.
This attack forced the reconnaissance team to disperse, and the owner of the recording pen may have lost his leg during this attack. After that, he kept waiting for the team members to come to rescue him, but unfortunately he didn't wait until he died.
"After waiting for two days and no one came to rescue me, could it be that the entire reconnaissance team was really wiped out?" Lei Min's voice was heavy.
"This investigation team must have found some important information, so they were killed." Cheng Xiaohe felt that there was something fishy about this attack, and there must have been more than one giant zombie attacking them.
"It's a pity that all this information should be in the hands of other team members." Wen Ling frowned. The scout seemed to have said a lot, but not a word of useful information.
"Alas, it seems that all my hard work has been in vain this time..." Qu Xingchi sighed.
"It doesn't matter. I just detected a special signal around this zombie. I'll check it out. Maybe there will be other gains."
After Yin Yaxiu finished speaking, she took Song Qiao with her to find the source of the signal.
"Eh? Isn't this our military signal transmitter?"
Song Qiao looked at what Yin Yaxiu dug out of the snowdrift and asked doubtfully: "Do zombies also use our Chinese military equipment?"
"This is impossible," Yin Yaxiu denied her statement without thinking. "This kind of thing is obviously removed from the communicator or transmitter, and the signal is very weak. It makes no sense to put it here alone. .”
Seeing this thing, Yin Yaxiu couldn't help but doubt her previous guess. This signal transmitter was obviously not set by zombies. Since it was not an enemy, there was only one possibility left.
——What does this scout mean by placing a signal transmitter around himself? What on earth does he want to do?
Yin Yaxiu told other teammates what she had discovered, and everyone looked at each other in confusion.
"Yaxiu, play the contents of that voice recorder again."
After Lin Qingqing frowned and thought for a moment, she suddenly asked Yin Yaxiu to open the previous recording pen and play the recording inside again.
After the four familiar voices finished playing, there was only silence.
Pass
After a while, Qu Xingchi couldn't help but reach out to turn off the recording, but was stopped by a pair of white hands.
"Wait a minute!"
Lin Qingqing held Qu Xingchi, and at this moment, the scout's voice came from the originally silent recording pen again.
"If you can hear this, it means you have cracked the previous code. I hope you are our comrade."
Um? At this time, everyone except Lin Qingqing was stunned. Why is there still something? Moreover, the tone of this voice is completely different from the panic and weakness shown in the previous paragraphs. The mood is calm and the language is clear. It does not look like a dying person at all.
"We have found out the reason for the migration of wolves in Siberia. It was caused by these giant mutated zombies. They drove all the mutated beasts on the Siberian Plateau away from here. According to analysis, these zombies are most likely man-made. We suspect there may be a secret experimental base in this area."
"In order to find out the location of the experimental base, on the evening of January 9, the captain led us to find a giant zombie that was returning, and wanted to follow it to find the experimental base."
"On January 10, we tracked all night and finally came to a valley on the eastern edge of the Siberian Plateau. This place was full of giant zombies, and the highest ones could even reach more than twenty meters. In addition to giant zombies, this valley There are also many strange-looking zombies inside, which we have never seen before.”
"On January 11, we lurked outside the valley for a whole day. During this time, Xiao Liang from the speed department went to the valley to explore, but he never came back."
"On January 12, deputy captain Anda took two people to the valley to search for traces of Xiaoliang, but 11 hours later, only Anda came back with serious injuries."
"This time Anda brought two important pieces of information. First, there is a building in the valley. There is an extremely special zombie in the building, and all the zombies here obey the command of that zombie. Second, they are in the valley. I met a zombie king with white hair and red eyes, and the attribute of the zombie was light."
"Before the second message was delivered, Anda couldn't hold on and died, and we were also discovered by the zombie king who came to hunt Anda."
"What happened next was as I said before. The captain ordered everyone to flee with the news. This information must be conveyed no matter what."
"If you are our comrade, please contact the Xilin Border Guard Regiment or the Xuanwu Regiment as soon as possible. We will be very grateful!"
"Finally...Long live China, mankind will win!"
"The Xuanwu Legion, the Xilin Border Guard Regiment, and the first reconnaissance team Hou Kai have completed their reports..."
As the last word came to an end, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.
It seems that this is the message that the scout warrior really wants to convey, and the previous paragraph and even the signal transmitter deliberately placed there are nothing more than smoke bombs.
And at the last moment of his life, he did not end his life early, but allowed himself to become a zombie. His purpose was probably to protect this information and pass it on to his compatriots in this secret way. .
Only Chinese people understand the perseverance of the Chinese people. They are never afraid of sacrifice, but they must sacrifice meaningfully.
"This is the way a scout should think." After confirming that there was no other information, Lin Qingqing put away the recorder and prepared to hand it to Xu Yifeng when she returned.
"The recording said that the remaining nine members of the reconnaissance team all fled in order to pass on the information. Today is the 21st, and nine days have passed since they fled, and Captain Xu did not collect them before we left. Got the news."
Cheng Xiaohe's words made everyone's hearts sink. There was no news from a reconnaissance team for nine days, which meant that they had all probably been sacrificed.
"Then we should continue to look for them?" Wen Ling pursed her lips. The life and death of those scouts were uncertain, and they might still be waiting for their rescue somewhere.
Wen Ling's question was also very difficult for Lin Qingqing. The Siberian Plateau was so big that it was not easy to find the other eight scouts who were not sure whether they were humans or zombies.
"Now we have three choices. First, return to the Xilin Grassland immediately and take this information back with us. Second, continue to look for other scouts, but the return date is uncertain, and we may have to dig through the entire Siberian Plateau. Third..."
Speaking of this, Lin Qingqing's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "Let's go directly to the valley mentioned in the intelligence and explore it."
"Captain, what you are saying is that we have found out a complete piece of information and brought it back?" Cheng Xiaohe frowned slightly. The first two choices were considered normal. Even if no one could be found alive, bringing such a piece of information back would still be considered a good thing. I can do the job, but it always seems a bit regretful.
The reconnaissance team discovered that the information was incomplete. What was that valley used for? And how strange is the special zombie mentioned in the recording that can only control all zombies? Finally, who is that light zombie king with white hair and red eyes? Why is it there? According to known information, their country of China does not seem to have a light-based zombie king.
Everyone also wants to know these questions, and although Lin Qingqing mentioned three options, everyone can see that she is obviously more inclined to the third option, otherwise she would not specifically raise it.
"I'm also very curious, how about we go to the valley and find out what's going on?" Lei Min seemed unwilling to go back with incomplete information, and this information was obtained for free. .
Everyone was silent for a while. There was no doubt about the danger in the valley. Not to mention the zombie king, even the super-large aliens more than twenty meters high mentioned in the intelligence were extremely difficult to deal with.
After a while, Song Qiao, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Captain, I want to go to the valley. I think there may be surviving scouts there."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's thoughts began to change. Regardless of whether the Zombie King would take the scouts back as prisoners, mid-to-high-level human superpowers were very important combat resources in the eyes of the zombies. If they can catch the living ones, the zombies will definitely not kill them so easily.
As long as there is a possibility, no matter how small the chance of survival of the scouts is, they will still try to find it. This is the meaning of the rescue mission.
