Chapter 630 Snow Corpse
I stood in the yard and said goodbye, and then I took her to the entrance of the village and watched her leave until her back completely disappeared in the night. This was the darkest moment before dawn, and it was time for us to set off.
When Xu Silin and his team came over, we set off immediately and returned to Gai City smoothly.
The renovation project of Gai City Hospital has been completed. There are two train cars piled up on the left and right at the entrance of the highway into the city, leaving only a gap in the middle that can accommodate a car.
Other areas that can enter the city are blocked by cars because there are buildings and communities blocking them. There is no need to build a car into the Great Wall. As long as the entrance and exit between the building and the building is blocked, external vehicles will not be able to drive into the city.
When the abandoned vehicle used by the wall is equipped with a Bailichuan homemade alarm, if someone climbs with his bare hands, the alarm will be triggered, and the person who keeps watch can also find someone invading.
A group of us appeared at the gate, which immediately aroused the alert of the sentry. There were searchlights on the train carriage, and I don’t know where they got it.
The strong light shone on our group of people, and someone immediately shouted: "It's the captain!"
The sentry recognized Gu Yu, but did not let him go immediately. He called Bailichuan and Gu Yu to discuss the secret code. Gu Yu had explained before leaving that when he came back, Bailichuan must communicate with him the secret code.
Everything can happen these days, and shapeshifts are all over the world, so we must not take it lightly.
Only the two of them knew about this code, and neither Long Tao nor I knew about it. Of course, this is a double insurance. If Bailichuan does not match the code, it means something happened in the camp.
Bailichuan brought people out to match Gu Yu's secret code. After checking the secret code, everyone was relieved. It was still the old recipe and the old flavor, and no one was replaced.
The city was silent and everyone else was asleep. Gu Yu specifically instructed Bailichuan not to affect the rest of others, and we quietly entered the city.
Bailichuan placed Xu Silin and Grandma Yang and others in a hotel next to the hospital. This four-story express hotel has been packed up and planned to be used as a camp guesthouse. In the future, friends will settle here from afar.
Of course, Grandma Yang and the others were not staying temporarily, but we were back unfortunately. If we arranged a residence immediately, it would definitely alarm others.
So let them rest in the guesthouse for the time being and arrange their residence after dawn.
Gu Yu asked Long Tao and another young man to go to rest as well. He wanted to have a separate meeting with Bailichuan and me.
The three of us entered the conference room of the hospital. There was a separate heating system in the hospital, which was very warm even in the slightly empty conference room.
Bailichuan seemed to be more anxious than us. He seemed to have something to tell us. As soon as I closed the door of the conference room, he spoke:
"There is an emergency and we found zombies in abnormal state."
Gu Yu and I looked at each other. The zombies were evolving. Gu Yu had discovered this. The zombie running with a famous brand bag impressed me.
Gu Yu knew, Bailichuan naturally knew, and the abnormal state he was talking about now should be his new discovery.
We sat at the table and listened carefully to Bailichuan's story. It happened a week ago.
That morning, Bailichuan was on duty. He took people outside the city to patrol. He found a set of footprints less than a kilometer outside the city.
Judging from the shape of the footprints, its owner was not wearing shoes and walked around the city barefoot for half a circle.
The north and west of Gai City face the sea, and the east and south sides connect the landing land. It can basically be regarded as a circle city.
Bailichuan said that the owner of this group of footprints had circulated the east and south sides, and he could not say whether he had gone to the sea to swim and inspect the other half of the city.
The first idea he thought of this set of footprints was that some survivors who were left alone found someone in Gai City. They wanted to enter but were hesitant, so they wandered around the periphery and finally turned around.
Bailichuan said that if the other party was wearing shoes, it would definitely attract his attention, but the other party was barefoot, so he didn't take this matter to heart because no spy would come out barefoot to carry out the mission. After walking in the snow for an hour, his feet would be frozen.
As a result, three days ago, the person on duty came to call him and said that the set of footprints had appeared again.
This time the footprints were only fifty meters away from the city border line, which means that the owner of the footprints walked half a circle close to the car protective wall they built.
Bailichuan finally felt something was wrong. He sent additional personnel to patrol at night, but did not find out in the next two days.
Until midnight today, at twelve to three o'clock, the patrolmen found the set of footprints again. This time the footprints were close to the car wall, and they even found a few fresh palm prints on the car door.
"The problem lies here. They only saw footprints and handprints, but no one." Bailichuan frowned, paused, and said, "They chased after them in the direction of the footprints."
"Have you caught up?" I saw Bailichuan stop talking again and asked.
"Catch up, no, it should be said that the thing found them and hid and ambushed them."
Looking at Bailichuan's painful expression, the ambushed patrol team probably suffered casualties, so it was difficult for him to speak out.
This is indeed the case. According to witnesses, the thing was as white as a snowman, and suddenly jumped up from the snow, scratching one of the patrolmen's arm.
Although they reacted quickly and immediately fired back, the guard team rushed over in time when they heard the gunshots, but they still let the thing run away.
"Do you think it's a zombie, is it because the injured person mutated?" If he was just injured, even if he was missing an arm, Bailichuan would not have a heavy expression on his face.
Therefore, I speculate that the injured person must have had another state, which made Bailichuan determine that the zombies were injured.
"Yes, they wanted to carry him back, but they mutated halfway and bit two more people." Bailichuan sighed, "The bitten person mutated faster, in just a few seconds... one came back in the end."
The person who came back was the captain of the patrol team. After the wounded suddenly bite, he realized that the snowman who injured him might be a zombie, so he decisively killed the wounded.
But the bitten person immediately mutated. He couldn't beat him alone, so he had to run back. Fortunately, the sentry guarding the gate shot and killed the mutant who was chasing him.
The incident happened suddenly and quickly. When Bailichuan led his men to the scene, there were only a few bodies left outside the door.
Although the loss was not large, Bailichuan blamed himself very much. He felt that if he could pay more attention to those sets of footprints, perhaps the tragedy would not have happened.
The number of human beings is getting smaller and smaller, and we are all brothers who have passed through life and death. Life is so precious, and it is unacceptable to losses. I can understand Bailichuan's mood, but accidents are beyond our control. We can only try to make it happen less, but it is impossible to prevent it from happening forever.
"I was careless." Bailichuan clenched his fists and pounded the table hard.
He may have passed the age of crying at any time, but his heart was bleeding, which hurt more than the tears in his eyes.
I think it would be more effective for Gu Yu to comfort him at this time. When he glanced at Gu Yu, he would hit his eyes in a straight line.
Since I have a clear understanding, there is no need to say much. I silently shut up and give them room to talk.
The zombies in this world are single in shape and can easily leave a fixed impression. If an alien suddenly appears, it can catch people off guard.
And I have seen many kinds of zombies, which can become taller, shorter, or even become unhuman, and their colors will also change.
So I don’t find it strange that Bailichuan said there were white zombies. This only proves that there are pioneers who adapt to the environment in the zombies.
We all know that cold weather will reduce the activity of zombies. They will be dormant. Even if there are those who can move, their goals will be very obvious. They can be recognized at a glance when running around in the snow.
This white zombie obviously broke through this obstacle. It can blend with the snow, just like a chameleon, with sky protection.
The most important thing is that it has an IQ, and it tests three times in a row, only wandering outside the city, perhaps looking for the best route.
Ordinary zombies don’t understand what patience and waiting are, and they won’t disguise and then ambush them.
If I hadn't heard Bailichuan's words today, I would have almost forgotten that the human zombie crisis had not been resolved.
The world is full of internal and external troubles, and there are too many bad things. I was thinking about whether I could pull the progress bar faster, but the game terminal vibrated.
Gu Yu and Bailichuan were talking, and I lowered my head and opened the terminal and saw unread letters in the mailbox.
After opening it, I first read the signature. It was sent by the Chairman of the Game Association.
The text message is very straightforward, and it starts with urging me to reply to the invitation from the previous text message. If the white zombie is not released, I will agree.
But now the camp is in danger. Maybe the white zombies are just a way to explore the way. There are still thousands of evolutionary zombies waiting to attack the city. I must guard my nest.
My reply was also very simple and straightforward, and I just typed two words: I don’t have time.
I don’t even bother to use hypocritical politeness to the Chairman of the Game Association, and both sides are just using each other.
As soon as I finished replying, I sent another text message over there, with two words in the content: Next time.
Since there is next time, the other party has no intention of tearing apart, I put away the terminal and continued to listen to the conversation between Gu Yu and Bailichuan.
The topic of personnel losses has passed, and Gu Yu is now talking about what happened after they went to Taiwan Province.
They contacted Qiao Tang without much trouble. Qiao Tang is now the second-in-command in the New Human Alliance, and the top-in is his father.
Suddenly hearing Dr. Qiao's name, I was stunned. In this time and space, I didn't have much contact with Qiao Tang, but it seems that without my help, he and Dr. Qiao could be reunited.
The father and son also took the opportunity to usurp the power of the New Human Alliance and took over the Taiwan Provincial camp. Thanks to their father-in-law, Gu Yu and his trip to Taiwan Province were smooth sailing.
Dr. Qiao agreed to cooperate with us, and the laboratory of the New Human Alliance will cooperate with our research unconditionally.
With their technical support, it will save us a lot of trouble. Gu Yu visited their laboratory and lived in Taiwan for a while. He asked them to get a box of inhibitors Nini wanted, and then left a few people and gas samples, so he came out to find me.
