I wasn't surprised.
It's only natural that zombies evolve; otherwise, this apocalypse would be far too simplistic.
Lin Mo raised his gun, aimed at the zombie's head, and pulled the trigger. The bullet shot out, and several zombies fell one after another.
"It seems so."
"Even though they have evolved in terms of physical strength and other aspects, these zombies still have not developed intelligence."
That's normal.
Wisdom doesn't come easily.
It has taken so many years of development for the blue planet beneath our feet to give birth to a highly intelligent human species.
But zombies are definitely different from wild beasts; perhaps intelligent zombies will appear in the future.
Lin Mo walked over to the group of special zombies, recalled the scene just now, and gradually formed a judgment in his mind.
"These are some evolved zombies."
"Its strength should be a bit stronger than that of ordinary wild beasts, but it still can't outmaneuver some large ferocious beasts."
As they talked...
His gaze slowly fell on the zombie's head.
"I just don't know if there's a crystal nucleus in its brain."
Lin Mo took out a pair of gloves from his spatial storage and put them on. Then he took out a short knife, bent down, and sliced open the zombie's head.
After some trial and error...
He actually managed to pry out a small, hard object from the zombie's brain—a white, rhomboid-shaped lens.
"Is this the crystal core?"
Lin Mo held the crystal core and observed it for a while. A conjecture slowly emerged in his mind, and then he put it into his spatial storage.
He didn't let the other zombies go either, since crystal cores are rare, and most zombies don't have them in their brains.
Although he didn't know what they were for yet, that didn't stop him from collecting them in advance.
final.
Five white crystal cores were collected in total.
Zhu Wei and the others also arrived at Lin Mo's side one after another, waiting for his next instructions.
They have finished their work.
Three banks and two jewelry stores were looted, and the ATMs next to the banks were smashed to pieces.
I also visited the commercial building.
The four of them went in together to search and encountered several trapped zombies, but nothing unexpected happened.
They even targeted the supermarket shops next door, not for supplies, but for the cash in the cash registers.
We arrived at the pickup truck.
Lin Mo glanced at the several handbags in the carriage, nodded slightly, and then slowly said, "Get on the train."
Upon hearing this...
Li Zhongjie's expression became somewhat conflicted, and he couldn't help but ask, "Don't you want any food nearby?"
Lin Mo glanced at him indifferently upon hearing this, but did not answer the question. He turned around and walked towards the driver's seat.
Zhu Wei and Zhao Feiyu turned around and got into the car without hesitation.
Xu Hao glanced at Li Zhongjie, but didn't say anything more. He silently turned around and followed.
Seeing this scene.
Li Zhongjie glanced reluctantly at the supermarket next door, then finally turned around and climbed onto the train carriage.
.........
Nanshan No.2 Middle School.
Zombies can be seen wandering everywhere: the cafeteria, the playground, the dormitory, the teaching building...
But the number wasn't as exaggerated as one might imagine.
In a classroom on the third floor.
The front and back doors were blocked by piles of tables and chairs. Inside were seven students in blue and white school uniforms, all of them pale and bloodless.
Three men and four women.
Everyone was hugging their knees against the wall, looking somewhat dazed, with unfocused pupils and lifeless eyes.
When occasional noises were heard in the corridor outside.
The students' faces instantly contorted with terror, and they began to tremble uncontrollably.
The noise gradually subsided.
Their tension eased slightly, and they all lowered their heads and remained silent.
A long time passed.
It wasn't until a tall, muscular man rummaged through his backpack and pulled out a loaf of bread, carefully unwrapping the package, that things changed.
That's when the silence was broken.
The others' attention was immediately drawn to it, and they all kept swallowing hard as they looked at the bread.
After eating the bread.
The boy slowly stood up, looked in a certain direction, then walked to the corner and asked the girl in front of him:
Will your mother come to rescue us?
Upon hearing this, the girl immediately tensed up, hugging her knees tightly with both hands, and said in a muffled voice with her head down, "I don't know..."
Upon hearing this...
The boy couldn't help but frown, staring at the girl for a long while before finally slowly looking away.
Before leaving.
He tossed a small bread roll in front of the girl and then returned to his own area.
The others stared intently at the bread on the ground, their eyes filled with longing, but no one dared to touch it.
A while later...
One of the girls couldn't resist any longer, so she got up and slowly walked towards the boy, without even thinking about the bread on the ground.
"Wu Yong".
"I'm so hungry I can't stand it anymore, please give me some more food."
The boy stared at her without saying a word.
Seeing this, the girl had no choice but to reach out and unzip her school uniform.
This moment.
Everyone else realized what was about to happen and turned their heads away to avoid looking.
But some sounds kept coming...
In the corner.
The girl ignored the bread in front of her, hugging her knees tightly and burying her head even deeper.
After a long time.
Wu Yong gradually lost interest, took out a bag of cookies from his backpack, and threw it to the disheveled girl next to him.
"Is there no bread?"
"Eat it or don't, it's up to you."
Wu Yong reached out to take back the cookies from the ground, but the girl grabbed them first, hurriedly tore open the packaging, and stuffed them into her mouth.
After finishing the cookie, the girl licked her chapped lips and asked, "Could I have some water?"
Didn't I just give you some?
The girl fell silent upon hearing this.
She glanced silently into the corner and noticed the bread was still on the ground, a hint of resentment rising in her heart.
On what grounds?
Why is it that this woman is so dismissive of food, while I have to pay such a heavy price for a bag of cookies!
That's not fair!
The girl looked up at Wu Yong and said, "Wu Yong, I advise you not to have any hope."
"That guy might have been lying to you all along; maybe his mother has already had an accident."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yong glanced at the girl, then looked up at the corner, his feelings becoming somewhat complicated.
Mind your own business.
He did not readily believe the woman's words.
He had personally seen the girl's phone; her mother was safe and he had indeed been trying to rescue her.
later.
The girl lost contact with her mother because her phone ran out of battery and turned off.
However, when the battery is low.
Her mother said she would take action immediately.
As for why neither side has made any move, perhaps the other side is making preparations and may already be on their way.
certainly.
It's possible that something bad happened a long time ago.
Anyway.
He was unwilling to give up hope easily, believing that his food could last for another day or two.
Waiting for another day.
If there's still no movement, he'll have to go out and try his luck, otherwise he'll just starve to death here.
but.
Before that...
The boy glanced silently at the girl in the corner; he wasn't going to let anyone eat his food for free...
...............
After a while.
The other two boys wearing glasses were so hungry that they couldn't stand it anymore, so they got up and went to find Wu Yong together.
"Wu Yong, please share some more food with us."
"All I need is a pack of cookies."
Wu Yong frowned and slowly stood up: "Didn't I already distribute them to you this morning?"
"Half a loaf of bread won't do any good..."
"Give us that bread on the ground." Another boy looked towards the corner: "She doesn't want it anyway."
Wu Yong glanced subconsciously at the corner; the bread was still motionless on the ground.
then.
He glanced at the two boys in front of him again.
Seeing this, the two shrank back in fear, but gritted their teeth and didn't leave.
"Do whatever you want."
final.
He compromised anyway.
At first, he could threaten them with his fists, but now the situation is getting worse and worse, and that trick is no longer effective.
Girls are easier to deal with.
However, you absolutely cannot push these two too hard, otherwise something unexpected might happen.
Even a rabbit will bite when cornered.
Moreover...
He still has some use for these two people.
The two boys happily ran to pick up the bread, eagerly tore open the packaging, and each ate half.
Wu Yong stood there silently watching this scene, and his thoughts began to change.
In this way.
Whether the remaining food will last a day is a question.
Instead of constantly rationing food, it's better to eat it all up to replenish our strength and find an opportunity to go out and fight the zombies.
He had just looked out the window and noticed that there were fewer zombies in the corridor for some reason.
This is a rare opportunity!
but.
It's getting late, let's wait until tomorrow morning to talk about it.
Wu Yong silently glanced at the girl in the corner.
At least.
Allow yourself to have a wonderful night first.
Lin Muxue happened to look up and meet Wu Yong's gaze. She immediately became extremely nervous and felt utterly hopeless.
In the end, is it inevitable...?
She couldn't help but glance at the girl from before. When the girl noticed her gaze, she turned her head away somewhat guiltily.
if.
If I end up like her, I'd rather be eaten by the zombies outside.
When you see that the front and back doors are blocked.
Lin Muxue felt even more desperate, as if she didn't even have the right to die together with someone else.
She slowly lowered her head, curled up in the corner, silently put her right hand into her pocket, and gripped the pen inside tightly.
As the atmosphere fell silent once again.
Suddenly, a loud banging sound came from behind, and the tables and chairs blocking the door began to shake violently.
In that instant.
Everyone's face showed a look of horror.
The two girls were so frightened that they immediately hugged each other, their bodies trembling and sobbing.
Wu Yong couldn't remain calm; his eyes were fixed on the shaking door, completely bewildered by what was happening outside.
That shouldn't be happening!
They stayed inside quietly, without making much noise.
He was extremely restrained even when he was doing that.
Why did these zombies suddenly attack the gate for no reason?
He had originally planned to get a handy weapon, and there happened to be a mop in the corner, but he hadn't had a chance to get started yet.
Plans really can't keep up with changes.
Everyone stared intently at the swaying tables and chairs by the back door, praying frantically that they would be stopped.
Perhaps the prayers really worked.
The zombies outside the door gradually stopped attacking the door, and the swaying tables and chairs gradually stabilized.
In an instant.
Everyone present breathed a deep sigh of relief; thankfully, it was just a false alarm.
