"Who is it?" Lin Cheng asked immediately.
"It's a woman." Lin Man was still not sure of her judgment. If there was something wrong with that person, even if she couldn't feel it, Guan Guan should have reacted. She asked Guan Guan, but all she got was confusion.
Guan Guan: "Have we encountered any strange women?"
Lin Man walked forward and looked at the zombie corpses that were lined up. There were forty-seven of them in total. Although they had all been quickly infected by the virus and turned into rotting corpses, one could still roughly judge their appearance before birth.
No, that woman was not among them.
"Lin Cheng, can you tell which one will be the first to turn into a corpse?" she asked Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng didn't ask why she asked that. After careful consideration, Nan Ming came over and heard what Lin Man said. He asked her, "Do you have any clues?"
Lin Man shook her head: "Not sure yet. I want to know which one will be the first to turn into a corpse." As she spoke, she started looking. Her method of looking was not to look at the degree of decay, but to look at the appearance. She remembered that the old woman had white hair, a short stature, and her clothes were nothing special. Everyone else was tattered, but she was wearing a pair of sneakers on her feet that were so worn that they could not be worn any further, tied to the soles of her feet with some unknown cloth.
The heads of these zombies have basically been blown off, and all that can be seen are their bodies and feet.
Found it!
“It’s this one!”
Lin Man and Lin Cheng locked onto a corpse at the same time.
They exchanged glances, and Lin Man asked, "Are you sure this was the first one to transform into a corpse?"
Lin Cheng said, "You see, its degree of decay is a bit more serious than others. When zombies first form, they remain in this state for a long time. As time goes by, their muscles slowly shrink and harden, and their overall color gradually deepens. The stronger ones will repair their bodies on their own, so in the later stages, the zombies will not be so ugly, and their overall color will be white."
Nan Ming also came over to see and confirmed Lin Cheng's statement: "I remember those zombie kings back then. Judging from their appearance, they were almost like normal people."
A flash of lightning flashed through Lin Man's mind: "You said that zombies can become almost like humans?" Her voice was full of disbelief.
Nan Ming shook his head: "There are still some differences. As long as you have a clear mind and clear eyes, you can tell the difference."
Lin Man's mouth twitched. She believed that she had a clear mind and her eyesight was as good as could be.
Lin Cheng saw something: "Xiao Man, have you thought of anything?"
Lin Man hesitated. "Yes, it was a woman. She had very long, messy hair that fell on both sides of her face. She had very fair skin and walked very slowly. She was leaning on the old lady. I thought it was a little strange, but I couldn't put my finger on it. I heard that the woman had entered the base two days ago, so I didn't think much about it."
A vague thought flashed through her mind at that moment, but she thought it was too incredible. She just thought that she was too sensitive because she had been thinking about zombies all these days, and the supervisor didn't remind her. Then she thought that since she had already entered the base, there must be no problem, so she just let it go.
Now when I think about it from beginning to end, it really seems suspicious.
Nan Ming wondered if Lin Man was being too paranoid. No matter how human-like a zombie might be, it was only to a limited degree, and the human eye couldn't fail to recognize it. If it was someone with ulterior motives, why would they wait until now to cause trouble, having come in two days ago? However, out of respect for Lin Man, he still ordered someone to investigate the woman.
The man also thought Lin Man was fanciful and couldn't help but say, "That woman has a husband and children. She's completely normal. How could she be a zombie?"
Nan Ming said, "Just go if I tell you to. You know the right person, bring her here."
Lin Cheng said slowly, "I didn't say she was a zombie. She's been with these people before, so she might know something. But it's best to bring a few more people with you just in case."
The man then left.
Seeing that he couldn't bring more people with him, Lin Cheng gave his subordinates a look, asking them to follow and be on guard at all times. He still trusted Lin Man's intuition.
Lin Man curled her lips slightly and tugged at his sleeve. Lin Cheng looked at her and she whispered, "Someone told me before that the woman was said to be stimulated. She never spoke and was slow to react. She was not very normal."
This means that the person told a lie. Lin Cheng felt that she was like a child telling tales. When she said "It's not normal", she shook her head and looked very serious. The only difference between her face and the words "Don't believe that guy" were written on her face.
Lin Cheng almost laughed out loud. It was the first time he realized that Lin Man was so cute.
"I know." Lin Cheng also whispered, "If there really is something wrong with that woman, then it's a foregone conclusion that they didn't strictly check the people entering the base. Of course, they don't want to admit it."
Oh, so that's how it is. Lin was full of contempt. The situation was so serious, but these people were still trying to shirk responsibility instead of quickly finding the source. Did you know that if they hadn't controlled it in time just now, the zombies might be running all over the base now?
"There's something wrong with their brains!"
Lin Cheng raised his eyebrows. This seemed to be the boss's recent catchphrase.
If this matter didn't concern everyone's life, including her own, Lin Man would not want to care about it. She asked: "Don't we need to follow?"
Lin Cheng shook his head: "Do you think Nanming has gone?"
The leader stood there motionless, looking worried. He obviously didn't take Lin Man's suspicion seriously. Lin Man was a little discouraged, as it seemed that no one took her words seriously.
Lin Cheng sneered slightly. He simply thought that Lin Man was too young. Although she prevented a tragedy in time, perhaps these people felt that the people he brought were quick to act, and Lin Man was just joining in the fun.
But seeing Lin Man's somewhat angry look, Lin Cheng couldn't help but feel itchy and touched her head: "I believe you, I have asked someone to follow, nothing will happen."
Lin Man was a little stunned, but it was still a good feeling to be trusted by others. However, she was still a little worried: "But, what if he is really powerful?"
Lin Cheng said, "Do you want to follow and see?"
"Well, it's better to be safe than sorry."
Lin Cheng smiled: "Then let's go and take a look." He said something to Nan Ming and left with Lin Man. Behind them were each a large group of people.
Nan Ming looked at their backs. Could that woman really be the key?
…
At the same time, a very white-skinned man kicked a woman with long and messy hair against the wall.
The kick was very fierce. Most people would not be able to get up, and some ribs might even be broken. But the woman seemed to feel nothing. As soon as she fell to the ground, she raised her head and roared at the man, revealing a mouthful of saliva-sticky fishy yellow fangs. Her face was also dotted with strange corpse-like colors, and her eyes and pupils shrank into a dot.
The man said coldly, "You useless piece of shit! Who told you to make such a big noise?"
"Huh!" The woman, or the female zombie, kept roaring. It didn't understand the words, but it could feel the man's attitude, which made it very dissatisfied.
The man also opened his mouth, revealing the same or even more ferocious expression, and the female zombie was frightened.
The man roared a few more times, and the female zombie seemed to understand, but it was unwilling. The man roared again, and the female zombie lowered her head reluctantly, and soon returned to her normal appearance. She looked very miserable, and there seemed to be no blood vessels on her skin.
The man also returned to normal appearance, looked outside the door, seemed to have noticed something, and immediately left through the dilapidated back door.
A moment later, Lin Cheng and Lin Man arrived. Seeing them following, the investigators from Nanming looked reluctant and pointed at the dilapidated house: "The person is inside."
Lin Man also saw it. The woman was sitting on the ground with her head down, and her face was completely invisible.
Lin Man asked Guan Guan: "What can you feel?"
Guan Guan felt it for a moment and said, "That person doesn't look alive, but he doesn't look dead either... Overall, he looks more like a dead person. If I hadn't looked closely, I wouldn't have noticed it."
Lin Cheng suddenly said, "No breathing."
"What?"
Lin Cheng whispered, "She's not breathing. She's most likely a zombie."
Lin Man began to understand a little. Could it be that this was the reason why she felt strange?
The people from Nanming walked in carelessly and were about to call for help. Lin Cheng said to Lin Man, "Don't move here." He stepped forward, grabbed the guy who was about to step into the short and shabby door by the back of his collar and threw him out. At the same time, the woman sitting on the ground suddenly moved, roared, opened her bloody mouth and pounced on Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng took out a rope from his hand, tied it up from top to bottom, and threw it out.
The zombie rolled on the ground, but couldn't break free from the ropes on his body. His true appearance was revealed, his nails and teeth were exposed, and his eyes and face were completely deformed, which was extremely scary.
The people who were thrown to the ground didn't have time to shout before all their complaints were scared back and they looked at the scene in horror.
It's really a zombie! Oh my god, he almost died!
The people who heard the noise and ran out to watch were also terrified. They actually lived with a zombie!
Lin Cheng was in no hurry to kill it. He walked around it, then returned to Lin Man and waited for a moment. Sure enough, Nan Ming arrived soon. When he saw the scene, he gasped, "Is this the woman I was talking about?"
Lin Cheng nodded slightly.
Nan Ming: "Sure enough, it was it that did this. Great! Lin Cheng, Lin Man, thank you so much for this time!"
Lin Man ignored him. She was still holding a grudge. He didn't take the clues others provided him seriously. How could such a person be a leader?
Nan Ming felt a little embarrassed and ashamed.
The solemn expression on Lin Cheng's face did not dissipate. He still felt that something was wrong and asked, "Didn't they say she still has a husband and children? Where are they?"
Nan Ming's face changed. He dared not delay any longer and immediately sent people to investigate.
Lin Man asked Lin Cheng: "Do you suspect that her husband and children are also..."
"It's hard to say. If it could fool you, it's obviously very well disguised. Even I wouldn't have noticed the flaw if I hadn't observed it closely. It's not impossible for someone who is a bit confused to not realize that his wife is a zombie. I just think it's a little strange."
"What?"
Lin Cheng glanced at her: "Don't you think this is going too smoothly?" He looked at the struggling zombie on the ground: "Why doesn't it run? Even if it doesn't want to run, why doesn't it pretend?"
Lin Man was stunned. It seemed so.
At the airport, because of the appearance of zombies, most of the people here have left, leaving only a few guards and nine second-generation rich people. A man walked in here while pretending to clean, and his calm eyes surveyed the various types of aircraft, as if he was looking for the most suitable one.
