Chapter 45 Corpse Fog

The conditions offered by Shirley are indeed very touching, but she said there is food. You should know that our food is not grains, fruits and vegetables. If it were only her, I might think she was referring to zombies. However, there are obviously more than one high-level zombies, so the food she mentioned is intriguing.&t;p>

Shirley knew my concerns, especially the high zombies who transform from humans into corpses like me, who still retain memories and emotions. As she said, I became a monster, endured loneliness, wandered around, and encountered pursuit from the military. It was even more impossible to integrate into the circle of ordinary humans. Even if I successfully infiltrated, I would not end up being discovered.&t;p>

But she didn't know that I met Gu Yu, A Ying and Long Tao. They knew my zombie identity and were still willing to approach me. So even if Shirley said it right, my choice today is still the same. If there was really one day when I was rejected by all human beings, I would choose to avoid human beings and would never treat them as food.&t;p>

"I am willing to join, but my ability is limited, and maybe I can't help you any more." I said with a little inferiority, "I am much weaker than you."&t;p>

Shirley smiled encouragedly and said, "Don't say that, you are very talented and able to stay sane in the fog of corpse, which proves that you are qualified to be our partner."&t;p>

I heard a strange word and couldn't help but look at her and asked, "Corpse fog? Is it... the fog above the city? Why do you call it corpse fog?"&t;p>

The middle-aged woman standing next to her said, "The people in Minghe City died overnight. This is the credit of the corpse fog. It is not water pollution at all. Water cannot be guaranteed to be drunk by everyone. Everyone must suck the air. The people at the monitoring station are not detecting water. They—"&t;p>

"Cough!" Shirley coughed gently, and the middle-aged woman named Guixiang quickly shut up. She almost told the source of the corpse fog. I was a little regretful, but a blank expression appeared on her face, saying that she didn't understand what she was talking about.&t;p>

The possibility of fog moving with the wind is very small. It is not a cloud. It cannot reach such a height. It usually only forms in a certain place. The sun disappears as soon as it comes out. What I know is only the forest, the fog in the mountains, and sometimes there is clear fog in the mornings of the city, but it has not been able to last for months.&t;p>

Thinking of this, I think it is necessary to find out the reason for the formation of corpse fog, but now I have another thing I want to figure out, so I continue to ask: "You said I have the talent to be able to stay rational in corpse fog. What do you mean is that zombies will be affected by fog?"&t;p>

"Well, the ordinary zombies outside are like ants, with tentacles that receive signals. The corpse fog will release them to receive interpretation signals. You should see that zombies are more active when the fog is thin, and when the fog is thick, the zombies are like toys with no electricity."&t;p>

"It's not this fog that calls zombies to surround us at the monitoring station, right?"&t;p>

"Do you think it's us?"&t;p>

"Isn't it?"&t;p>

"Of course not. It's okay for me to control a few, thousands... Alas, I can't do it. In fact, the corpse fog was not rushed to you. You might as well regard it as a living body. This is easier to understand. When humans enter their bodies, they are food. Ordinary zombies are cells that digest food and provide nutrients for them."&t;p>

"Then, what about zombies like us? What is it for it?"&t;p>

"It is a harmless and useless cell, it will ignore it."&t;p>

While I was novel about Shirley's statement, I was also worried for Long Tao and Hu Tao that if they were given food to other people's stomachs, could I still successfully save them?&t;p>

Thinking of them, I asked quickly: "You said you caught two people, where are they?"&t;p>

I didn't admit that they were my friends and wanted to confuse Shirley. Since I wanted to pretend to join them according to her wishes, I could no longer call human beings friends.&t;p>

Shirley then untied my belt and helped me take off my restraint. She helped me up and led me to the main door. When I saw her laughing, I felt something was going to happen, but I couldn't walk too fast, as if I seemed to be particularly anxious to see them.&t;p>

I warned myself to be calm, and if I can't bear it, I will make a big plan. Shirley saw that she had been in society for several years. She was more calm than me, a newly graduated university. She always had a kind smile on her face. I couldn't tell whether she believed me or not.&t;p>

We walked out of the main entrance of the cultural school. There was a parking space on the left side of the yard and a front playground on the right. I didn't see Long Tao and Hu Tao. Shirley walked down the steps and did not stop. She took me forward.&t;p>

When I arrived outside the school gate, I saw a construction site on the road. In order to replace the gas pipeline, a long ditch was dug on the side of the road. I remember that most of these ditches are more than one meter deep, but this section in front of the school gate is two meters deep and nearly two meters wide. At this time, the ditch was filled with zombies.&t;p>

Hu Tao was tied with a rope and carried by two zombies from the opposite side of the ditch. His consciousness was clear. Seeing that my eyes revealed anxiety and worry, I thought to myself that he was like this and was worried about me, and I didn't see who it was more dangerous.&t;p>

No matter how much I think about it, I am quite moved by how I can worry about me when my own safety cannot be guaranteed, which means he regards me as a friend.&t;p>

"Only one?" I asked suspiciously.&t;p>

"The other meat is tender, so keep it for dinner." Sister Guixiang grinned. Her simple and thick face showed such a smile. No one would have thought that she was talking about how to eat people.&t;p>

"Actually, it's not a must. That person has special abilities. I really want him to join us." Shirley blinked at me, but my heart was cold.&t;p>

Long Tao's ability was only used outside the city. Usually he was the same as ordinary people. How did Shirley know that he had special abilities? Long Tao said it himself, it was unlikely that Hu Tao would betray him. Does Shirley have a perspective?&t;p>

Hu Tao heard our conversation opposite and widened his eyes in surprise. He stared at me, his eyes seemed to be asking me why.&t;p>

He misunderstood me, but now I can't explain, so I can only continue to act. I avoided his gaze and tried to say in a steady tone:&t;p>

"If you kill his comrades, he will not join us."&t;p>

"As human beings, of course, they will hate us, but..." Shirley bent her eyes and smiled mysteriously at me.&t;p>

The shock in my heart was even more serious. Her implication was to turn Long Tao into a zombie? How can this be done!&t;p>

"If he becomes an ordinary zombie, can he still use special abilities? I see Xuan." I said this on purpose, hoping that Shirley would deny my guess.&t;p>

"Of course, ordinary zombies cannot, but the other one can." Shirley kept her back and said this, then she stopped talking.&t;p>

Hu Tao heard her words and wanted to shout, but the first syllable was not complete yet. Shirley raised her chin gently. My heart tightened. When I talked to her, my eyes never dared to leave Hu Tao. Shirley was too smart. She didn't believe me or not, just killed one and left one. In this way, no matter whether I defect to her, we will lose one person.&t;p>

Save Hu Tao, Long Tao will be immediately killed by her. Save Long Tao, Hu Tao will be buried in the corpse now. I have never encountered such a dilemma in my short life. It is related to human life. I am so anxious that my throat is dry, my heart is tight, and my breathing is out of control, and I become more rapid.&t;p>

Gu Yu, Gu Yu, where are you? Now we all need your help!&t;p>

I cried in my heart, but Shirley didn't give me time to think. When she nodded to the zombies opposite, the two zombies carrying Hu Tao let go and let Hu Tao roll down from the ditch. The zombies below had already smelled the smell of living people, and they all whimpered, hoping that food would enter their mouths as soon as possible.&t;p>

I felt like my head was about to explode, and it was about to burst, my heart suddenly hangs in the air, and all my thoughts were still. I didn't know anything else, I only knew that if Hu Tao was eaten by zombies in front of me, I would never want to erase this picture from my brain in my life.&t;p>

It will become my nightmare, never ending, until death.&t;p>

When something was urgent, I couldn't care about anything else and thought about saving Hu Tao first. Time seemed to be deliberately lengthened, and it was like a stuck movie. Every frame was extremely clear. I urged my brain to act quickly, and the swelling feeling did not affect my use of teleportation eggs.&t;p>

And, this time I rushed straight to Hu Tao, with clear goals and accurate positioning. When a male zombie caught his feet, he took him out. The zombie was not caught. She saw the fat meat in her mouth flying, and she roared unwillingly.&t;p>

There is no if in the world, because if I could predict the future, I would ask about Long Tao's whereabouts before Hu Tao was thrown into the corpse ditch, and then use the teleportation egg to rescue them in one go.&t;p>

But the fact is, I didn't expect that I could suddenly control this ability, no matter the distance, location, and direction, I could control it!&t;p>

"Where is Long Tao?" I took Hu Tao to the backyard of the cultural school, which was the road that Sister Guixiang brought me, because I knew there were no zombies and obstacles here.&t;p>

"I don't know, they separate us." Hu Tao's voice trembled, obviously too anxious.&t;p>

I cut the rope on his body and prepared to go back to the cultural school to find it. The school is Shirley's nest. She would never hide too far from the Tibetans. Hu Tao wanted to accompany me, but I yelled at it.&t;p>

For zombies, he is equivalent to walking meals. Anyone who smells it will pounce on them and take a few bites. Moreover, Shirley and Sister Guixiang are not ordinary zombies. If he is caught again, they just need to scratch him gently and he will be done.&t;p>

After all, Hu Tao has followed Gu Yu for a long time. He knew that being hot-headed can only make bad things. After calming down a little, he nodded to agree that I would go back alone, while he hid in a garage. We discussed the code and he closed the gu door.&t;p>

I turned back to school, and Shirley stood in the middle of the playground in the backyard with a smile. She knew I would come back, so she waited for me specifically. I hated her smile, as if everything was in control.&t;p>

"What a pity, we could have become friends." Shirley said.&t;p>

"I don't make friends with human-eating monsters."&t;p>

"It doesn't matter, you can eat something else if you don't eat people."&t;p>

She was talking, and suddenly she shook her body. I nervously tense my muscles. She rushed towards me and laughed. Her black eyes instantly swelled, and her eye sockets almost cracked to the original four or five times the size.&t;p>

Now she is much more terrifying than the alien eT in the movie. The moment I swung my knife to slash at her, her image changed, turning into the appearance of my mother, causing the knife in my hand to unconsciously deviate and only cut through her shoulders.&t;p>
