Chapter 5353
There were RVs and tents in the campsite. Xue Ling and Wen Jiu were given a separate tent, which was a safe distance away from the other people's accommodation.
When Xue Ling was returning to their tent from Wen Yi's car, he saw quite a few people in the camp.
The most numerous were soldiers. They were all very young, wearing uniforms and holding weapons. When I saw them, I would stare at them nervously, as if I was on guard at any time against them suddenly attacking and hurting people.
In addition, the researchers in the team were even more curious and excited. Even Xue Ling and Wen Jiuze showed interest when they were walking and moving normally.
If we use one word to describe most of them, it would be "excited to see the prey".
Being stared at by these people with scorching eyes, Xue Ling almost had the illusion that he had switched identities with a zombie.
Of course, there are also people who are afraid of their zombie identities and appearances and stay away from them, but there are relatively few such "normal people" here.
It must be Wen Yi's request that neither the vigilant soldiers nor the researchers who were curious about them took the initiative to approach them, but instead kept a restrained distance.
Xue Ling walked outside for a while and then prepared to go back to the tent, so as not to make the soldiers next to her nervous. She also felt uncomfortable with all these looks.
But Wen Jiu grabbed her and dragged her directly to the activity area with the most people in the camp.
There was a comedy show playing on a screen hanging in the open space. Some people were sitting on the tables and chairs eating and chatting, while others were exercising.
Seeing them coming, the noise in the activity area suddenly became quieter. Everyone was paying attention to these two aliens.
But Wen Jiuze was just the same as before, not caring about the looks of the people around him at all. He pulled Xue Ling through the space they had left as if no one was around.
Xue Ling, who was originally feeling uncomfortable, recalled the countless times he had dragged her into social chaos before, and suddenly felt that the current situation was nothing.
Shouldn't she be used to it by now?
She is different from the people around her, but Wen Jiuze is the same as her.
Wen Jiu led Xue Ling to the best seat in front of the screen. Just as someone moved away, he took over the seat like a bully and let Xue Ling sit down.
The two sat next to each other and started watching a comedy show.
Because of Wen Jiuze's naturalness and generosity, Xue Ling gradually put aside her uneasiness and began to concentrate on watching the show.
This program is quite interesting and I was immersed in it without realizing it.
There are no other problems except that I can't laugh very smoothly when I see funny scenes.
The two of them were so natural that even if the people around them had some thoughts in their minds, they did not show their surprise. They slowly continued to eat and exercise, but often glanced at the two of them absent-mindedly.
"Zombies... also watch the show. They look just like humans."
"Xiao Yu, you have done experiments with Dr. Wen and met Dr. Wen's boyfriend, right? Dr. Wen's boyfriend is also said to be a special zombie. Is he the same as them?"
"I don't know either. The last time I saw Mr. Zeng, he was lying down, not moving at all."
"I've been with the team for so long, and I've heard that Dr. Wen has a special zombie experiment subject. I've never seen one before, but I didn't expect two more to suddenly appear."
"How did this zombie appear? Is it a failed experiment with a new vaccine?"
"Forget our rules, we are forbidden to discuss related topics!"
"Yes, Captain."
…
Amidst all the whispers, Xue Ling sat in the crowd and watched a comedy show.
But the next TV show was not very good, and Xue Ling was not interested in it. Her attention was attracted by the two people playing badminton next to her.
I haven’t played badminton for a long time.
When she was at Yu Normal University, she liked to go to the stadium to play badminton in the evenings when she didn't have classes, and Wen Jiuze also played with her.
Xue Ling's badminton skills are average, but according to Wen Jiuze, his skills cannot be judged as good or bad, he is just crazy.
When Xue Ling and others played badminton, they all tried their best to let the other party catch the ball. Everyone was exercising, and the key was to go back and forth.
Wen Jiu is different. He plays basketball like he is hitting someone, with wide and powerful moves, and he strives to make it impossible for the opponent to receive a single ball. His play is tricky and cunning.
Xue Ling couldn't catch his two balls in two hours, and was so angry that he threw his racket and yelled, "Stop playing!"
The roar was so loud that everyone in the playground thought they were fighting.
Xue Ling was reminiscing when Wen Jiu took her tablet and walked up to the people playing badminton.
Wen Jiuze was scary enough when he was in normal shape, and now that he's turned into a zombie, he's even scarier.
The young man saw him approaching, holding the racket with a stiff expression, and could not help but step back, almost stepping on the badminton that fell at his feet.
A female voice came from the tablet in Wen Jiuze's hand: "Borrow a racket, brother."
The stranger "brother" handed over the racket with a stiff face, then immediately stepped back and hid in the crowd, and only then did he relax visibly.
Wen Jiuze "borrowed" a racket and waved to Xue Ling, asking her to play badminton.
Xue Ling shook her head.
Wen Jiuze tapped the tablet and said, "Come quickly, come quickly, come quickly..."
Urged by the devilish cycle, Xue Ling walked over and typed, "Your playing skills are too bad, I won't play with you."
Wen Jiu replied: "I will fight hard this time."
Xue Ling went over to pick up the racket with some doubt, then walked to the other side and got ready.
Someone in the crowd said, "Holy crap! Zombies playing badminton!"
Realizing that he had spoken too loudly, he immediately shut up. However, this shout attracted almost all the idle people in the camp to come over and watch.
Wen Jiuze served. As soon as he started to play, Xue Ling realized that his skills were really bad.
Even if it wasn't intentional, it would still be a mess.
Xue Ling's movements are not that fast now, and he has to run left and right when catching the ball, and soon he is unwilling to play.
"How about I fight you?" A young girl in the crowd bravely asked.
Wu Ying is a badminton expert. She couldn't stand watching the two people's playing style, and playing badminton with zombies was so new that she wanted to experience it.
After Wu Ying finished speaking, the tall and ferocious zombie on the court walked towards her with a racket in his hand.
Everyone standing around Wu Ying stepped back immediately, and Wu Ying's heart rate soared with fear.
When the other person walked up to her and handed her the racket, Wu Ying reacted half a beat late before reaching out to take it, and her hands were shaking a little.
When she came to her senses, she was already standing on the field.
The tall zombie who left the court stood on the sidelines and watched with everyone else. The female zombie on the other side of the net held her racket and waited for her to serve.
Wu Ying took a deep breath and served the ball——
Wen Yi got out of the car and prepared to go to the activity area to eat. She heard a bit of noise there before she got close. When she got closer, she found that there was no one around the tables and chairs. They were all gathered around the open space, making the place completely empty.
Through the moving heads, Wen Yi could only see the badminton flying into the sky from time to time.
Why are so many people watching me playing badminton?
Wen Yi noticed that the people who were cooking were wearing aprons and holding large spoons, standing on tiptoe and looking behind the crowd. The soup in the big pot was boiling and no one was watching, and it was about to boil over.
"What are you doing?"
Wen Yi is the decision maker in this team, and her personality is too cold. Both the soldiers responsible for protecting them and the researchers in the team are a little afraid of her.
Seeing her coming, the crowded crowd slowly dispersed, revealing two people playing badminton.
One is Wen Jiuze, and the other is Captain Yao who guards the camp.
The badminton that was about to be beaten bald was going back and forth between the two sides.
Just now, this place has become an experience field for "playing badminton with zombies". With Wu Ying in the front, some girls came up to play badminton with Xue Ling.
The main reason for this was not to play badminton, but because I was curious about zombies that looked like humans.
Later, many soldiers also wanted to fight, but they were too embarrassed to challenge Xue Ling, so Wen Jiuze came back on the field.
"I didn't expect you guys are quite used to it." Wen Yi took her own plate and sat down.
Wen Jiuze has been a lone wolf since he was young. He has never cared about the people around him or whether he can integrate into the environment.
It goes without saying that he would take this initiative just to make the other person happy.
Xue Ling played badminton with several people today and was in a good mood. She sat at Wen Yi's table and also pulled Wen Jiuze to sit down.
Everyone who had been playing or watching the game started to eat. The open space was filled with the aroma of food. Only Xue Ling and Wen Jiuze had no food in front of them.
"Please sit aside. I don't have a good appetite and seeing you makes me eat even less." Wen Yi said to Wen Jiuze.
Wen Jiuze sat with his legs crossed and his arms folded, pretending not to hear her words, and asked on his tablet: "You study zombies, do you know what else zombies can eat besides eating humans?"
If there is something edible for zombies, it would be helpful for Xue Ling to satisfy her craving for food. Her eyes are almost falling into other people's food bowls.
Wen Yi looked at him with her chopsticks in hand: "You are really ignorant."
"Zombies' digestive systems are no longer functioning, so how can they eat?"
"'Zombies eat people' is a well-known myth. In fact, zombies do not eat humans. They just have the urge to infect humans. They will attack humans by scratching and biting to complete the infection."
"If zombies could eat people, the city would be full of bones left over by zombies, not a pile of zombies that could never be killed."
"So if someone is eaten by zombies, it can only mean that he is unlucky. The zombie virus spreads too slowly in his body, and there are too many zombies around him. The zombies that have not been infected yet bite him one by one, and he is eaten alive."
Wen Yi took a sip of soup and said, "You've been hanging around out there for so long, and you haven't noticed this obvious fact."
Wen Jiuze had never noticed that when normal people saw zombies eating people, they would kill the zombies or run away quickly. They would not stand there and observe whether the zombies had eaten the whole person.
Xue Ling felt like she was being scolded too because she hadn't paid attention to it either.
Wen Jiuze was already used to her personality, and without even raising his eyebrows, he extracted the key information: "So even if the zombies bite people a few more times, they will still be hungry, and eating anything will be useless and we can only bear it, right?"
Wen Yi sighed and put down her half-eaten meal: "Actually, my teacher believes that the zombie virus is an unknown organism that lives in the human body. Strictly speaking, it is not a virus."
"They live in the human body, causing death, and driving the body to move in order to reproduce. 'Infection' is how they reproduce."
"The zombies' hunger is also an illusion created by these creatures in order to complete their reproduction mission, in order to drive the parasitic body to find a breeding ground for reproduction."
