"I have no intention of abandoning you all." Shi Yin frowned.
Cheng Sui is right. Sending them away now is indeed the worst option. Shi Yin secretly infiltrated the school to observe from the sidelines and find out more accomplices.
Early-stage high-level zombies have been deployed here, making them more difficult to deal with than zombies in other places. Choosing to have ordinary people and newly awakened superhumans defend this place is clearly not a good approach, as it could easily allow the mastermind to escape.
However, the difficulty doesn't lie there; sending a few people out is a simple matter.
What Shi Yin feared most was another matter.
From the moment she arrived here, Shi Yin sensed several familiar presences.
One was expected, but the other two were completely unexpected, and Shi Yin was not sure at all.
Cheng Sui is right. This is a fishhook. Everyone here, including them, is bait. Anyone who makes Shi Yin feel a strong sense of familiarity is not simple. And in the early stages, Shi Yin would never use her superpower more than three times.
There is a type of zombie that can mirror and replicate itself. The appearance of this type of zombie is very random, with the time of its appearance varying more than 600 times out of more than 1,000 appearances.
There were indeed two people behind the scenes this time. If we send the three of them out now, it would not only show the people hiding in the shadows that the military has not given up on this place, but the four of them would also be immediately identified.
Although these zombies were able to break open the dormitory door so easily and accurately, it was 80% likely that they had their eyes on Shi Yin, a fact Shi Yin was well aware of.
Just like the crow last time, it was a test.
In fact, Tokine was somewhat prepared, because every time Tokine made a new major decision, the world line would undergo drastic changes before entering a stable phase.
Establish a base and become king; stockpile supplies and stay at home; find teammates to form a guerrilla squad; live in seclusion away from people; become a lone wolf; become a zombie; go abroad to find teammates and form a cross-border team; join an exploration team...
Then we need to find countries to cooperate with.
Every time Tokine makes a significant move, the world line undergoes a drastic change. However, once Tokine is reborn and the world line is retraced to explore this world line, the fluctuations rapidly diminish.
It was as if it was specifically designed to target her.
"Then, should I go to a safe place first?" Wen Jinxue raised her hand weakly: "I haven't awakened any special abilities, and I can't fight. It would be troublesome if I dragged you down."
Wen Jinxue knew very well that she was neither smart nor capable. If Cheng Sui could come up with solutions for Shi Yin and Jiang Ning could help Shi Yin, then she really had nothing and could only act cute.
However, acting cute won't change the zombies' minds!
"Anyway, even if we send her away, it's just sending Xiaoxue away. If I'm not mistaken, you have no accurate judgment about what will happen next, otherwise you would have taken action long ago and wouldn't have waited until now." Cheng Sui crossed his arms and looked serious.
"You always report good news and never bad," Cheng Sui patted Shi Yin's shoulder. "Take us with you. We can even help you take a hit if necessary. It's only natural for a supporting character to help the protagonist save the world, right..."
"Cheng Sui," Shi Yin calmly interrupted Cheng Sui, "I am not the protagonist who saves the world, nor am I a supporting character who is destined to be a sacrifice."
Cheng Sui was taken aback. She was just joking, but she didn't expect Shi Yin to take it so seriously.
"Anyway, now that you've transferred all the police officers away, it'll be too much trouble for you to find clues by yourself." Jiang Ning patted his chest and said, "We'll help you; it'll be much more efficient."
“That’s true in theory, but the risks far outweigh the potential gains.” Shi Yin frowned. “Calm down, you have parents.”
“But, we are…” Jiang Ning wanted to say something more, but within her sensing range, a dense cluster of black dots was rapidly approaching them.
They moved slowly, stopping and starting, seemingly searching for something.
The sound sensors are even clearer; they lie on every door or under every crack, listening intently as if listening to sounds or smelling people, their movements stiff and mechanical.
However, the dormitory door was rather thick, and there were other smells mixed in with it.
Post-Apocalyptic Intelligence Bureau Safety Rule #9: Use the scents of food, floral water, medicated oil, perfume, flowers, etc., to mask your own odor, which can interfere with the judgment of low-level zombies.
Therefore, the zombies could not immediately determine whether anyone was in each dormitory room.
Some dorm rooms have become zombies because people trusted the dorm supervisor or had the supervisor use a key to open the door.
When they first turned into zombies, they were in a semi-enclosed space and there was no sign of living people around, which caused the newly mutated zombies to fall into a confused adaptation phase.
Now, the door was pushed open again by the zombie horde. The new zombies found their kind and, after only a few seconds of hesitation, staggered and followed the main zombie army.
"Yinyin, what's going on? Didn't they say that low-level zombies have no intelligence?" Jiang Ning asked疑惑地问, as if she remembered something. "Could it be that the dormitory supervisor is one of those higher-level manipulator zombies?"
"It shouldn't be that fast, otherwise the treatment would be useless." Cheng Sui pondered, "Maybe the dormitory supervisor will still be conscious at that time."
The official website of the Apocalypse Intelligence Bureau has already announced that after the apocalypse, everyone will receive two doses of healing serum. If an injury is caused by the zombie virus, injecting the serum within one minute and surgically removing the infected area will prevent the person from turning into a zombie.
“That’s right.” Shi Yin nodded in agreement: “When humans transform into zombies, their consciousness and thoughts gradually disappear, but at this time they are also in a semi-zombie state, and the manipulator can control them.”
"In a way, you could call it a lucky break. Back then, the dorm manager could still subconsciously understand how to unlock things. But once he became a zombie, he couldn't even get the key, let alone unlock it."
Only after the mid-stage, the selected advanced zombies are equivalent to human evolution; in the early stages, they can only be considered a degenerate regression.
"Xiaoxue." Not wanting to continue the conversation, Shi Yin turned around and patted Wen Jinxue's shoulder: "Call her name."
Wen Jinxue: "?"
Should I call out? How should I call out?
"Sister Yinyin, what time is it!" Wen Jinxue's face turned red as she clutched her chest and glared at Shi Yin: "It's really too much for you to make such a request now."
Shion: "...?"
"Pfft, hahahahahahaha!"
The atmosphere was supposed to be serious, but the two of them almost laughed themselves silly when they started talking.
The blame lies with Shi Yin for being too mischievous before she changed, always teasing them with a straight face, so much so that when they heard this sentence, their first reaction was not to carry out the order, but to misunderstand it.
You always climb into people's beds in the middle of the night to tease them, now you've gotten what you deserved, haven't you?
"I meant for you to lure the zombies over here..." Shi Yin was speechless: "We can't stay here any longer, we need to get out."
“…Oh.” Wen Jinxue’s face turned even redder, and she could only cough her throat in a serious manner.
"ah!!!!"
Although Wen Jinxue looks like a little girl and has a soft voice, her screams are incredibly sharp and piercing, like a little steam whistle.
The zombies, who had been leisurely strolling down the corridor, were all startled by the sound and immediately turned their heads to lock onto room 302.
"Ready?" Shi Yin gripped the hilt of her katana and stood back-to-back with Jiang Ning. "Those scum who climbed through the window are yours, okay?"
"Tch, don't underestimate me." Jiang Ning smiled brightly, her hand holding the steel knife incredibly steady this time: "I'm going to be the Pirate King's woman!"
