However, what Qin Qing couldn't understand was that, logically, the giant snake should not be able to know about her space.
She only found out about the evolved ginseng after she was locked in the space.
The giant snake appeared out of nowhere and attacked them.
But if it wasn't because of her space, could it be because they were psychics, and psychics had a strong attraction to mutated plants or evolved animals?
If that's the case, the stronger their abilities are, the more they will attract zombies, animals, and plants?
Qin Qing didn't know that the problem they were considering had already been confirmed by Song Yuan and his team who were not far away from them.
Looking at the team members being killed in front of me, with blood all over the ground and no heads.
Song Yuan squatted motionless, his dark pupils shrinking in waves. Gu Xiao squatted beside him, then punched the ground fiercely and cursed viciously: "Damn it, now we have become their prey!"
Because all the psychics in the team were infected with the zombie virus to varying degrees, Song Yuan decided to deal with the bodies of these psychics first, and then move towards Longcheng.
Anyway, he was also prepared to wait here for Qin Qing's arrival.
However, no one in the team knew what the boss was planning. They all thought that the boss was delaying their progress for their own health, and their loyalty to Song Yuan increased.
Song Yuan can only absorb the zombie virus from one person at a time, and at most twice a day.
After all, the bodies of the mutants who have been infected with the zombie virus are as weak as babies. They are in this forest, facing all kinds of mutated plants and animals, and it is impossible for them to absorb the zombie virus from all the mutants at once.
What if all the people with special abilities are unable to move and are extremely weak, and those mutated plants and animals attack? What should we do?
After Huo Yi absorbed the zombie virus, he was able to recover the energy of a normal mutant the next day, and he also became more proficient in how to use his superpowers!
It was also because of Huo Yi that Gu Xiao arranged for Song Yuan to absorb the zombie virus from no more than two people every day.
In fact, Gu Xiao was very worried, fearing that Song Yuan's body would not be able to withstand the invasion of dark matter if it absorbed the zombie virus without restraint.
That's why we have to force this arrangement.
Originally, Song Yuan disagreed, but Gu Xiao persuaded Song Yuan by saying that if they camped in the same place and waited for Qin Qing for too long, it might cause dissatisfaction among everyone. However, if they helped the psychics in the team absorb the zombie virus separately, it would be safer and could also explain why they had been stationed in the same place for such a long time, thus killing two birds with one stone.
Everything was fine at the beginning, but in the last few times when Gu Xiao sent people out on patrol, someone would always disappear.
When they arrive, they will find the same situation as now, their team members have been separated from their bodies, their heads are missing, but their bodies are left in place.
There was no violent struggle or fight near the corpse!
Not to mention, the psychic has not yet used his superpowers.
In other words, what killed them was not someone they knew, but something that left them defenseless?
Rather than humans, Song Yuan believed more that it was something in the forest that killed his team members.
Because he did not find any footprints beside the team members except those of the team members themselves.
Song Yuan narrowed his eyes and said to Gu Xiao, "I'm afraid you're right. Have you noticed that the people who died these past few times were all members of the psychic team. They were the ones who had recovered and eliminated the zombie virus!"
When Gu Xiao heard what Song Yuan said, he thought about it carefully and immediately broke out in a sweat.
He opened his eyes wide and asked, "Is he choosing his targets?"
Song Yuan nodded, stood up, walked towards the edge step by step, and observed carefully.
"I have a bold guess. If it's true, people with special abilities will no longer be able to patrol alone. Instead, they will have to work in groups of at least four, just like other ordinary team members. This way, they can help each other in the event of an emergency."
Song Yuan walked to a low bush, stopped, and turned around to speak.
"Fire Wing, burn it!"
Huo Yi is the leader of the superpower group. Several people in his team died in a few days, which was a big blow to him.
He nodded after hearing Song Yuan's words, and with a heavy heart, he condensed a fireball and burned the headless corpse to ashes before stopping.
Song Yuan stood at the place that was burned to ashes in silence for a moment, then called on Gu Xiao, Huo Yi and other team members to leave.
“I want to eat... I want to eat... I want to eat... delicious food... I want to eat...!”
Just as they were about to leave, a weak voice came from the bushes where Song Yuan had just stood!
As he spoke, the sound also sounded like smacking lips and sucking saliva.
It was deeply attracted by the supernatural power emitted by Fire Wing when he used Fireball.
After eating the heads of four psychics in a row, the crystal cores in their bodies, which had been cleared of impurities, allowed its superpowers to be greatly improved.
The body that was originally out of full control can now be said to be under easy control!
The most important thing is that if it gets the crystal core of the fire-type mutant just now, it can be upgraded.
Although it has not yet fully condensed its thoughts, it knows that it is very important to it.
Song Yuan and the others walked more than ten meters away before Gu Xiao couldn't help but whisper, "Boss...?"
"Shh...!"
Song Yuantou ignored Gu Xiao's shout and did not respond, but just stopped in a low voice.
After walking all the way back to the camp, Song Yuan turned back solemnly and said to everyone, "Just now, that thing was nearby. I guess it already has thoughts, and I'm afraid it evolved thoughts because it ate the brains of us mutants."
Gu Xiao felt a wave of nausea rising up his throat. Eating human brains?
Is this a zombie?
Huo Yi's eyes suddenly turned red, and then he asked in a buzzing voice: "Boss, why does eating the brain of a mutant make it evolve thoughts?"
Song Yuan actually came up with this idea himself. If the crystal cores in zombies' brains had a fatal attraction to him, then similarly, wouldn't it be possible for superpowers to also have crystal cores in their brains? That's why they have superpowers?
The crystal core of a mutant might have a fatal attraction to evolved plants or animals, or even zombies.
This would explain why these people with special abilities would be killed and lose their heads whenever they were left alone.
"You all probably know that there are crystal cores in the heads of mutant zombies and the roots of mutant plants. Have you ever thought that we, the superpowered ones, might also have crystal cores in our heads?"
Gu Xiao and Huo Yi only had a moment of confusion on their faces before their faces changed color!
