Twenty minutes passed.
Lin An's heart sank slightly as he listened to the young man's narration.
Although the young man in front of him has rich experiences, he has also encountered many corpses. But in most cases, they just ran away without investigating the reasons for the movement of the corpse tide.
According to their words. This is the case everywhere in the Qinghai War Zone, and you don’t know who caused the tide of corpses.
I heard that there was a gathering place because when the supply search team returned, someone urinated in the car. As a result, somehow, a small group of zombies moved along the scent. Like a snowball, it turned into a huge tide of corpses when they arrived at the safe area.
Therefore, it is difficult for them to determine what caused the zombie attack.
Take the Qingshan Safety Zone as an example. The zombies blocking the national highway near them were because the outgoing convoy failed to deal with the "tail", which caused the zombies to gather more and more, so that they could not get out even if they wanted to.
"So, you haven't encountered any special mutants, have you?"
Lin An asked softly, drawing the map in the young man's mouth on the white paper in his hand.
On the small map, corpse tide points suspected to number more than a million are marked everywhere.
As if hearing the faint disappointment in Lin An's tone, Zhang Qiankun felt uneasy and nodded uneasily.
"My lord, that's all I know."
"Maybe the commanders of the other two safe zones will know more. But it may not be much better. I saw that they also sent out requests for help some time ago, which means they haven't been out for a while."
"There is no way. Survivors will always attract zombies if they flee to the safe zone. There are too many people, and the smell can't be covered up even if you try to cover it up."
Disappointment evident.
Lin An stopped the pen in his hand and continued to combine the known clues in his mind.
A bit tricky...
Let’s ask the leaders of the other two safe zones? It probably doesn't mean much.
Although Zhang Qiankun was not very strong, he escaped almost all the way from the northernmost part of Qinghai to the southernmost part. On weekdays, the survivors in the Qinghai War Zone would communicate to some extent about the movements of the zombie tide, but no one had discovered any mutants that could be commanded.
Of course, since Lin An had never seen the Corpse Emperor, he was not sure what his form was.
But one thing he was sure of was that the mutant who could be dubbed the Corpse King by the system must be quite intelligent.
Especially at the peak of the third level, mutants at this level already have high intelligence.
If he is hidden in the tide of corpses, finding him is no less than finding a needle in a haystack.
"Captain Lin, what should we do? Let's just run away to our next home?"
Being familiar with Lin An's style, Zhang Tie simply stood up when he saw that there was no news here.
Nodding, Lin An didn't intend to waste time here chatting.
Although the Aoyama Safe Zone seemed to need help, it was pointless for him to stay with the other side. If the Corpse Emperor is not found, the entire Qinghai War Zone will be destroyed in less than half a month.
Fourth level...
The destructive power of the fourth level is no longer something that can be stopped at this stage. If you are not careful, the entire Chinese theater may suffer.
You must know that in the previous life, even if the Chinese war zone transitioned to the second half, a fourth-level corpse emperor was still like a moving natural disaster, destroying a large number of safe areas.
On the other side, Zhang Qiankun, who was still hesitant to ask for help, noticed that Lin An wanted to leave right after asking, and for a moment he almost jumped up anxiously.
In his eyes, the military represented by Lin An is the last hope!
"Colonel Ye!?"
"Are you leaving!?"
Anxious and not knowing what to say, the young man subconsciously opened his hand to stop Lin An, but the next second he found Zhang Tie suddenly glaring over.
Stirred by Xiong Hanzi's breath, Zhang Qiankun finally realized what he had done.
He took a deep breath with a pleading look on his face:
"Colonel Ye, didn't the military send you to rescue us?"
"I know I may not have provided any useful information, but really... would you please report the situation here to your superiors?"
"I beg you, for the sake of so many survivors, please help us."
Behind him, several second-level escorts also hurriedly stood up and begged for help:
"Colonel Ye! We really can't hold on anymore!"
"Even if you want to leave now, can you please take the information about our situation with you first?"
"We really have no food at all, and people in the entire safety zone are really starving to death!"
Several big men danced anxiously while talking.
"You may not know that we have been forced to sell equipment!"
Emotional. As if to express his grievance, one of the awakened people with a gun looked at Lin An angrily:
"Our boss would have run away long ago if it wasn't for these people!"
"Look at what kind of life we are living! Does the military really not care whether we live or die!?"
"Aren't those people outside Chinese people?"
Looking at the excited people, Lin An frowned slightly.
It was impossible for him to explain to these people about the Corpse Emperor, and it was pointless. But after hearing that this young commander was willing to sell his equipment in exchange for food, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Equipment is as important as life to post-apocalyptic survivors.
Many people would kill their wives and brothers just for a piece of equipment.
Can you give up your own equipment to protect one party? This kind of person is extremely rare. At the end of the world, such people would almost die in the second year.
Think of the establishment of a safe zone in the series of tasks. Lin An looked at the young man after a brief silence. It is not impossible to help the other party, and it is not impossible to even directly absorb the other party as a subordinate base of Long An. but not now.
After thinking about this, Lin An calmly said:
"I can help you."
"But how are you going to exchange it?"
"The military department asked me to come here this time, mainly to solve some problems. We need to find the abnormal situation in the Qinghai Theater. I don't have extra time to waste here."
"I'll come back in ten days."
Standing aside, Zhang Tie crossed his arms and said directly:
"Okay, our Lin... Boss Ye has spoken. Just stay here with peace of mind, and we will naturally help you in 10 days."
"Hehe, all problems will be solved by then."
Realizing that Lin An might be trying to solicit, Zhang Tie simply made his words clear.
However, after hearing these words, the few awakened people behind the young man just expressed grief and anger, thinking that Lin An was perfunctory with them.
"Ten days! We will starve to death in ten days!"
"By then, this place will become a cannibal hell! Even if we sell all our equipment, we can only survive for seven or eight days! Unless we imitate those perverted cannibals, how can we survive!"
Zhang Tie frowned, and a flash of displeasure flashed in his eyes after hearing what the other party said.
Damn it, you said this as if you should help someone else!
Where is there no shortage of food? In the entire Chinese war zone, will there ever be a day when people don’t starve to death? If Captain Lin doesn't deal with the Corpse King, you will either starve to death or be eaten!
Just when he was about to scold him angrily, Lin An's expression suddenly changed.
"Hey, I came into contact with the Corpse Emperor's information."
"Please find out the anomaly in the Qinghai War Zone as soon as possible and kill the Corpse Emperor."
Extremely quick response.
After hearing the prompt given by the Savior system, Lin An instantly realized that the information the other party inadvertently disclosed was actually related to the Corpse Emperor!
With a solemn look on his face, Lin An directly asked the strong man who just spoke angrily.
"Eating people? Where are they eating people?"
Seeing Lin An suddenly asking him, the strong man was stunned and had no idea what he said.
Feeling the strong sense of oppression that Lin An had inadvertently revealed just now, he couldn't help but stammered in fear:
"East... east."
"There is a group of people in the east who have created a religion. They will arrest people and eat them..."
The next second.
"Hey, the Corpse King mission has been refreshed."
"Please find out the situation after contacting the [Divine Grace] religion."
Cult? Corpse King?
Lin An was slightly stunned. Looking at the updated mission information, he felt a little ridiculous.
