When they arrived, the crowd saw several guards guarding a barrel that was taller than a person.
The bearded man smiled, knocked on the barrel beside him and said, "Tai Sui Ye is looking for new guards. They provide food and shelter, and can also protect their families. This is a magical medicine that can turn you into an Evolver. If you take it, you may become an Evolver and become the most powerful person in the base."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people below began to breathe rapidly, their eyes fixed on the barrel behind him.
"But! Drinking this doesn't guarantee you'll become an Evolved! There's a high chance you'll mutate into a zombie! So you'd better think carefully."
He said in a serious voice, "Now, those who agree, come and line up!"
Becoming an Evolver would allow one to become a superior person. Not only would one possess legendary superpowers, but one would also be able to have a full stomach every day and provide a better life for their family.
As for the price, it's just turning into a zombie.
But look at myself now, what’s the difference between me and a zombie?
People die for money, and birds die for food.
The bearded man's well-intentioned warning did not scare away the crowd, but instead inspired them to sign up enthusiastically.
There were some rational people who noticed that something was wrong, but ultimately chose to go with the flow in the collective atmosphere of fanaticism.
No matter what, things can't be worse than they are now.
The bearded man sighed silently and opened the lid of the barrel behind him.
A foul odor hit me in the face. The bucket was full of sticky black liquid, with an oily film floating on the surface like dry black people's skin.
He scooped a bowl of liquid and drank it all in front of everyone. The guard next to him drank the bowl of liquid in silence as well.
"Ahem, let's start distributing it now."
The bearded man covered his mouth and ordered with a mask of pain.
It can be seen that this thing is really hard to drink.
Bowl after bowl of black liquid was distributed.
The excited people raised their bowls and drank it all in one gulp, imitating the bearded man's movements.
Soon, the entire periphery became quiet.
No more human sounds.
Instead, there were skinny zombies standing blankly in the dim underground passage, their gray eyes empty and lifeless.
The sewage in the nearby ditch dried up visibly, leaving only cracked and clumped sludge.
From the moment they arrived here, the base sealed the door to the corresponding space, and the dark and narrow corridor was destined to be their burial place.
The bearded man and the other guards who led the survivors over 35 years old already knew their fate and accepted their destiny in silence.
Buzz buzz buzz——
The subtle sound of the motor was unusually harsh in the quiet underground.
A pair of lifeless blue-gray eyes looked in the direction where the sound came from.
A remote-controlled car with a camera fixed in front and a bag of bleeding meat dragging behind it made a grand appearance.
The remote-controlled car turned around in place like a seduction, and then took the newly born group of zombies forward step by step, using this group of newly born zombies to build a new drought defense line.
Lin Guangsui sat in his own chair, looking down at the base below: "Is everything arranged?"
Behind him, a young man who looked 60% like him respectfully handed him a cup of scarlet liquid. "It's all arranged. The new defense line has been set up, and the crowd has gathered."
He picked up the cup and drank the liquid inside, suppressing the itch in his heart. Lin Guangsui rubbed his brows and asked: "Where are those children?"
"They've already taken refuge in air-raid shelter number two. No one can harm them until everyone outside is dead."
"Huh..." Lin Guangsui breathed a sigh of relief: "Lin Ke, take them and escape."
"Impossible." The boy's eyes were firm. "In a crisis, I will never abandon you and run away. I won't be a deserter! Dad!"
"I'm not asking you to escape," Lin Guangsui said coldly. "You're Plan B. If the base can't stop that monster, you're our only hope... If you attract the monster's attention, run as far away as possible to buy time for the base."
Lin Ke took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "I understand, I will do it."
"Go ahead."
"Take care, Dad."
"If you die, I won't live alone, son. Live on, taking your mother's share."
Finally, he was the only one left in the office. Lin Guangsui took out an iron box with trembling hands, which contained all the crystal cores collected by the base since the doomsday outbreak.
"Fuck you mold!"
He cursed angrily, opened his mouth, and wolfed down the crystal cores in the box.
The blood vessels beneath the skin twisted and twitched as if alive, scarlet blood flowed out of the seven orifices, and the skin gradually lost its blood color and turned gray and lifeless.
Lin Guangsui's aura surged, becoming increasingly inhuman, until—
"roar--"
The newly born zombie king [Tai Sui] let out a soul-stirring rumbling roar from his throat, and his pupilless eyes were as red as blood.
A drop of blood fell on its forehead, and it raised its head. The newly dead bodies formed a path leading to the ground.
The zombie king opened his mouth, the corners of his mouth cracked, and his stomach protruded, wrapping around the nearest corpse. Digestive fluid was secreted from his stomach, and in the blink of an eye, the corpse that had just been swallowed into his stomach was digested into a pool of pus.
tasty--
Like Pac-Man, the zombie king [Tai Sui] ate the sweet and delicious "delicacies" in front of him bite by bite, and crawled to the ground along the long corridor.
"clatter"
A round bacterial plaque appeared out of nowhere, just a hundred meters away from the newly born zombie king.
Behind the plaques are densely packed blue-black plaques.
