Huo Yingqing was familiar with hiding auras, so she took Xuanzi to avoid the eye-catching location and went to the back of the tiled room.
It's meal time, and every house in the village is filled with smoke and the aroma of the food is wafting out.
Huo Yingqing was not too hungry. She looked at the translucent smoke and asked, "What are the supplies you sent?"
"I know what you mean." Xuanzi frowned and nodded, "What we sent is instant noodles and other instant products, food that can be finished in just one soak in hot water, and they are obviously cooking. In other words, these people are cooking in the cellar. There is enough food, and they are not imprisoning Team Ji to beg for long-term supplies."
"It's not for supplies..."
Huo Yingqing murmured these words, and found a window with a loose latch from the back of the house. He moved it patiently with his hands, and waited until it was almost dark before the window was opened.
Xuanzi was a little worried and took out a knife from his belt and handed it to Huo Yingqing.
Huo Yingqing took the knife, quickly stepped across the window and entered the house.
There were only some white candles in the house. When the two entered the house, they brought a gust of wind, which caused the dim candlelight to sway, causing the girl's shadow to sway.
Huo Yingqing motioned to Xuanzi to follow, and the two searched the small tiled house, and finally found the entrance to the cellar under the bed of the house.
They worked together to open the cellar, and a dark wind mixed with the stench of blood and rotten flesh hit their faces. Huo Yingqing couldn't help but squint his eyes, and Xuanzi beside him also let out a retching sound.
"yue——"
The moment after the sound of retching, a familiar roar came from the basement: "Ouch——"
Huo Yingqing was stunned, and Xuanzi looked up in surprise and blurted out: "Fuck! These villagers are raising zombies!"
He immediately took out his gun and pointed it at the dark hole, but the zombie's voice was only in the cellar, and then there was the sound of iron chains.
The two waited for a while but saw no zombies rushing out. Huo Yingqing, holding a knife, finally guessed: "The meat that was brought in just now must have been raised by this zombie."
"Raising zombies?"
Xuanzi said he didn't quite understand.
But Huo Yingqing had seen many such people in his previous life.
In order to confirm her guess, she turned on the flashlight she held on the helicopter and explored the cellar with Xuanzi one after another.
The temperature of the cellar is suitable and dry, but because there is no ventilation all year round, there is an added smell of pickled cabbage. And now because a zombie is hidden, the smell of pickled cabbage and the rotten smell together make people want to escape from this uncomfortable moment. The place.
Huo Yingqing pulled up the collar of his clothes to cover his mouth and nose. The light from the flashlight in his hand just illuminated a face that was mostly rotten.
Many people regard the absence of the body as a sign of death. When the body's vital signs disappear, people begin to place their hope in the immortality of the soul because they are reluctant to leave. The emergence of zombies has shattered human beings' impression of death. They began to accept the death of the soul, but did not acknowledge the death caused by the decay of the body.
The body of the zombie in front of him was rotten and swollen. He could not tell his age or gender. Huo Yingqing could only vaguely guess that he was a man based on his short hair and farm work clothes.
Look, your lover is still roaring, still struggling, still attached to this world, they are not dead yet.
Therefore, the villagers had a glimmer of hope that one day he would regain his consciousness and his body would be as good as before.
The problem is, it seems that the entire village knows about the existence of this zombie, and is even willing to waste precious raw bones and flesh to feed him?
who is he?
The zombie was tied up in the basement with iron chains, and only one eye was left protruding. The pupil that might have been pitch black at first was only gray-white at this time.
Xuanzi frowned, suppressed his nausea, looked around with a flashlight, and suddenly said: "Look, there are even people helping him bathe."
Huo Yingqing looked over with the light of the flashlight, and saw on the ground a little distance away from the zombie a 50-cent-a-pack of shampoo from the town. Then he looked carefully at the zombie, and saw that the putrid body fluids were flowing down his arms and reaching the palms of his hands. , it was completely absorbed by the cotton cloth wrapping the nails.
Just as the two of them were getting more and more confused, a male voice suddenly sounded from the corner of the cellar: "Indeed, they come here every hour to bathe and feed this zombie."
"Captain Ji?"
Xuanzi was overjoyed and immediately followed the sound. Huo Yingqing also remembered the purpose of his trip and stepped forward with a flashlight.
Sitting in the corner was a man with a young and elegant face. He had been locked up with zombies for a few days. The man's face was a little haggard, and there was a faint green circle under his eyes. Even though he was in such a mess, when he saw Huo Yingqing, the man still felt relaxed and relaxed, showing a gentle smile. He asked with a slightly hoarse voice:
"This lady is a bit young, is she?"
Xuanzi quickly introduced: "The whole team is very busy now. This is Miss Huo who volunteered to help. Is she the one who flies the plane?"
As he spoke, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Ji Yanyu untie him. Huo Yingqing nodded to Ji Yanyu at the side.
Xuanzi's face was full of distress and concern, and he kept asking: "Captain, you have been detained for these few days, have they not made things difficult for you?"
"It's nothing to worry about. It's just that the smell is too strong, and some people can't eat it."
As Ji Yanyu spoke, he stood up with Xuanzi's help. His legs were very long and were nothing when he sat down. As soon as he stood up, he crushed Huo Yingqing and Xuanzi by more than a head. Even among men, , such a height is also rare. Huo Yingqing was a little surprised for a moment, but soon took the initiative and said:
"Now it may be explained. The villagers had seen helicopters killing zombies. They imprisoned Captain Ji, perhaps because Captain Ji saw this zombie, and this zombie happened to be the one they wanted to protect."
"That's right." Ji Yanyu looked down at the little girl who was only as high as his chest, and still smiled and explained: "I saw her when I came to deliver supplies, and subconsciously wanted to kill her, but the villagers were unwilling. They I firmly believe that the country will develop drugs to treat the zombie virus, and until then, no one is allowed to harm him."
Xuanzi asked: "Who is he? The son of the village chief?"
Ji Yanyu shook his head and denied the guess he had gotten: "If it was just the village chief's child, would the whole village risk being infected and help the village chief hide it? Seeing as they also know how to tie up zombies, it means they are We know that people will mutate after being bitten by zombies, or that someone has already been bitten and mutated."
Xuanzi didn't care about this. He just looked at Ji Yanyu and said, "This village is a bit strange. Let's go first."
The three of them immediately walked around the struggling and shouting zombies and walked out of the cellar, but at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded:
"Who are you!"
