The next day, Yan Shi sent a new batch of crystal cores to Quan Hou. Quan Hou told her that an alien had fainted and been eaten by another alien species.
"Fainted? Exhausted?"
"What's concerning is his state before he fell into a coma; he seemed to be on stimulants, abnormally excited."
"It's a side effect, a side effect of the alien ability."
"Very likely. Be careful, act within your capabilities, and come over immediately if you sense anything is wrong."
"I know, I value my life."
Quan Hou glanced at the silent Zhuang Zhao and went to attend to his own business.
"Don't use black holes anymore." After they went outside, Zhuang Zhao held Yan Shi's hand and whispered, her voice sounding almost like she was pleading.
"Do what you can. Besides, you're here for us. Nothing will happen."
Yan Shi was also filled with unease. Despite her unease, she didn't think anything would happen right now. According to her calculations, it would be at least a few years later.
They thought they had the zombie offensive under control, but overnight, the number of zombies inside the barrier exploded. At first, they thought it was an alien infection, but many people stayed at home and had no chance of coming into contact with the aliens.
One or two could be considered coincidences, but most of the time, there must be other reasons.
"Could it be that a mutant species can spread the zombie virus through insects?" Lu Yanshi's mind raced with wild ideas.
Squad 404 was assigned to clear out the zombies in a severely zombified neighborhood and protect the investigators. Yan Shi, acting as an outside helper, immediately brought Zhuang Zhao over.
“Water sources, air, food, flying insects, etc., could all be the culprits,” a fellow investigator replied.
"If it's really possible to indirectly contract the zombie virus, then humanity is even more doomed, and in the end, maybe only aliens and zombies will be left."
Yan Shi didn't dare to say a word. It was clear that the alien had a unique advantage: it wouldn't turn into a zombie and it had the ability to protect itself.
“The Xenomorph survived being bitten, and it’s a person who has died once. It was chosen, not actively chosen. When you were hiding in your rooms watching us fight with the zombies, why didn’t you think the Xenomorph was really good?” Zhong Ling glared at the person, her tone unfriendly.
Zhong Ling is still troubled by her poisonous blood ability. As the weather gets warmer, everyone else is wearing less clothing, but she is the only one who is wrapped up even more tightly.
"I... I didn't mean anything by it."
"I didn't mean anything by it."
The atmosphere in the car became so awkward that it was hard to breathe. Yan Shi opened the car window halfway and leaned against Zhuang Zhao, dozing off.
Upon arrival, they split up. Team 404 went first to clear the zombies from the stairwell, while Yan Shi and Zhuang Zhao escorted the investigators to collect samples.
They knocked on doors to check on the safety of those inside, asked about their daily lives, and if a resident was deceased, they notified professionals to come and pack their body for immediate transport to the forensic pathologist.
They are responsible for the entire community, which includes hundreds of households, and it takes them a whole day just to visit them.
He was a little tired, but not in danger. Yan Shi couldn't help but be careless. He listened to the investigators and residents talking through the door with his left ear, but his right ear was completely out of his mind, and he was thinking about what to eat later.
I haven't had a small cake in a long time, maybe I should buy a mousse or mille-feuille when I get back.
Just as I was deciding what flavor of cake to have, I heard Tong Ying shout, "It's a mutant!"
Yan Shi remained relatively calm, but the investigators around him panicked. Without saying a word, they turned and ran. One of them was so weak in the knees that he couldn't run and had to grab Zhuang Zhao's arm to keep himself from falling to the ground.
"You take them downstairs, I'm going to check on Tong Ying." Yan Shi said, turning to go upstairs.
"I can't protect them myself." Zhuang Zhao grabbed Yan Shi, not letting her leave.
"Tong Ying, I'll take the investigator downstairs first." Yan Shi called upstairs, then escorted the investigator to the car with Zhuang Zhao, and hurriedly ran back upstairs after watching them leave the community.
"Going upstairs is so annoying. If only Spider-Man could make it so easy, he could just zip up there." Yan Shi complained as he climbed the stairs.
"I'm afraid Spider-Man is a mutant."
"That makes sense."
After reuniting with Squad 404, looking at the male and female aliens embracing each other, I didn't know whether to praise their love or admire how well they were a good match.
"They seem to be original residents, and they don't seem to be used to being an alien. They don't let anyone get close, but they don't attack us either," Tong Ying shared with Yan Shi immediately.
"Control them and send them to Quan Hou." When she heard that they wouldn't attack humans, Shi Yan's compassion stirred slightly, but only slightly. Letting them go was out of the question; she couldn't guarantee they wouldn't hurt anyone.
"The anesthetic bullet is ineffective."
"Let Zhuang Zhao give it a try."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone smelled an indescribable odor. After smelling it for a while, they felt dizzy and sleepy.
"Is this Zhuang Zhao's ability?"
I guess so.
"How amazing."
Confused and bewildered, like a newly hatched alien species, it wobbled and fell to the ground unconscious.
Chang Ge and Tong Ying stepped forward and used a net specifically designed to capture exotic species to catch the two of them. Then, they used a stretcher-like tool to carry them downstairs to wait for Quan Hou to send a car to pick them up.
Since the investigators wouldn't be back anytime soon, they simply started scanning the entire building. The investigators didn't return until almost the entire building was finished.
Yan Shi swallowed a zombie that pounced on him. Afraid of offending his teammates with the smell, he and Zhuang Zhao climbed to the top floor to get some fresh air and dispel the stench.
The rooftop is well-maintained, lush and green, probably because someone diligently planted vegetables that are growing very well.
Yan Shi found a place to sit down, and Zhuang Zhao put her legs on his lap and massaged her calves.
"Hey you two, how have you been?" A voice suddenly rang out beside him. Startled by the unexpected sound, Yan Shi looked in the direction of the voice, annoyed, and immediately pulled his leg back, entering battle mode.
