After watching the king leave, Jiang Nian'an sat back down on the picnic mat.
Shen Nanxing and Xiao Longzhan have already heated up all the natural foods with water.
The fragrance wafted continuously from the vent in the lid, carried by the wind into the surrounding buildings.
"It's the smell of food!"
The survivors, who had lost all will to live, got up from the ground and peered out the windows, trying to find someone to eat.
"There it is!"
A person with enhanced vision saw three people sitting on the roof of the supermarket.
The sound drew the attention of all the survivors trapped in the building, and also caught the attention of Jiang Nian'an and Shen Nanxing.
"How can there be so many survivors here?"
Jiang Nian'an's gaze swept over the surrounding buildings.
There were at least two hundred survivors in the buildings near them alone, and people were also moving around in buildings further away.
"Sister, brother-in-law, why do they live here? Aren't they afraid?"
Xiao Longzhan was so hungry he couldn't wait any longer. He was munching on a large piece of beef jerky when he saw the survivors not far away and couldn't help but ask them a question out of curiosity.
In his memory, although level one zombies were as weak as ants, humans were still terrified of them.
Even though we've been in the apocalypse for so long, many people still run incredibly fast when they encounter zombies!
Shen Nanxing was amused by Xiao Longzhan's question, "They didn't live here voluntarily, but rather—"
His expression turned serious. "We're trapped here."
"Trapped here?"
Looking down at the horde of roaring zombies, Xiao Longzhan grew increasingly puzzled.
"But there are so many zombies downstairs, how did they manage to get past them and trap themselves inside the building?"
"This..." Shen Nanxing was speechless for a moment.
He was also very curious about this.
Surely no one would specifically come to a place that was uninhabited even before the apocalypse to look for supplies...
"Alright, let's ignore everyone else for now and eat first."
Jiang Nian'an handed out disinfectant wipes to the two of them to wipe their hands, then took out Xiao Longzhan's large bowl and picked out some non-spicy dishes for him.
Xiao Longzhan's attention was immediately drawn to the food.
He stuffed the remaining beef jerky into his mouth in one bite, then took the food from Jiang Nian'an's hand and buried himself in it.
Jiang Nian'an and Shen Nanxing also picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
"I can't look anymore, I can't look anymore, I'm so hungry!"
Many survivors watched the three people feasting, their mouths practically watering.
"Where do you think they came from?"
Some survivors looked at the three people who suddenly appeared on the supermarket rooftop with doubt in their eyes.
"Could it be someone trapped inside that supermarket?"
"Impossible, everyone in that supermarket has already been eaten by zombies."
This guess was immediately refuted.
"It couldn't have broken in from the outside, could it?"
Thinking of this possibility, everyone couldn't help but swallow hard.
"If they really did break in from the outside, does that mean we're saved?"
"Not necessarily. Look, they even brought this little child..."
A young man with a buzz cut shook his head. "It's already remarkable that they were able to protect themselves from being surrounded by so many zombies."
"well!"
The young man with the buzz cut's words elicited a chorus of sighs and groans, with some people muttering complaints under their breath.
"Isn't this guy just crazy? He can't save us, and I don't even know what he's doing here?"
"Maybe they're here to show off that they have plenty to eat and drink, and that they can move freely through hordes of zombies!"
"I hope all the zombies surrounding us will surround them, trap them here, and let them die with us!"
"I hope they die immediately, preferably choking to death!"
The sound of curses continued to ring out.
Unaware of the survivors' argument, Jiang Nian'an and the other two were listening to Xiao Yin, who had just returned, recount its findings.
To be precise, it was Jiang Nian'an and Xiao Longzhan who were listening, while Shen Nanxing relied entirely on Jiang Nian'an for translation.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Nian'an put down her chopsticks and looked into the distance.
According to Xiao Yin, they learned that the number of zombies at the entrance to Kang City had increased several times compared to when they arrived in the afternoon, and they had already crowded out of the city.
They were currently in the outer area, surrounded by level one zombies. About two hundred meters further ahead, there were about fifty level two zombies.
After leaving the city, walk another hundred meters forward, which is the very center area that Xiao Yin mentioned, where level three zombies live.
Besides the level 3 zombie that just came back to life, there are seven more level 3 zombies.
According to Xiao Yin's observation, the backs of their heads all flashed with different colors of light.
In other words, the crystal cores in the brains of those six level-three zombies were all attribute crystal cores.
Most importantly, one of the level 3 zombies, whose head glows white, can speak simple human language.
In the previous life, ordinary zombies could only speak simple human language at level five.
The superpowered zombies appear a little earlier than the regular zombies, around level four when they are almost at level five, while the attribute zombies are at level four.
And the only ones capable of opening at level three are... zombies with mental intelligence attributes!
Attribute, mental, or intelligence-based... this buff is already maxed out.
If left to grow unchecked, it will undoubtedly become the undisputed king of zombies.
Jiang Nian'an's gaze fell on the horde of zombies below.
A zombie with a mental intelligence attribute can control a level 3 zombie of the same level, a level 3 zombie can control a level 2 zombie, a level 2 zombie can control a level 1 zombie, and so on.
As the cycle continues, the number of zombies gathering together will increase, and their strength will grow stronger. Eventually, a zombie gathering point will automatically form, which is what survivors call a zombie city.
The zombie city is ruled by the most powerful and intelligent zombie king.
In the zombie city, zombies, just like humans, are led out on missions by higher-level zombies.
Their missions are only twofold: to capture survivors as food and to extract crystalline nuclei from the brains of mutated creatures.
Different zombie cities will also fight and devour each other.
And right now... she seems to be the prototype of a zombie city?
Generally speaking, zombies with mental intelligence attributes would build their zombie cities in places far away from humans, so why would this zombie city choose this place?
So many survivors are still trapped...
