The unusual movement caused everyone to look out the window.
I saw that the weather outside had changed, with dark clouds covering the sky. Soon, it began to rain. The rain was not heavy, just a drizzle, and muffled thunder could be heard from the sky from time to time. The whole city seemed to have suddenly turned into an evil black hue. From a distance, all the buildings were shrouded in rain and fog.
It was clearly daytime, but it was frighteningly dark.
However, the changes were far more than that. Outside the villa, there were more zombies wandering around, with broken hands and feet or no limbs, but still crawling on the ground. Compared with the previous zombies, the eyes of these zombies had turned green.
From a distance, you can see the glowing green eyes of the zombies, accompanied by the sound of thunder and drizzle, and the zombies' weird cries. It was a hot summer day, but out of nowhere, everyone was frightened into a cold sweat.
"This zombie..."
As soon as Wang Fei opened his mouth, he felt that the seven or eight zombies walking outside turned their heads at the same time. Through the window, their green eyes met theirs grimly, and everyone at the window was immediately frightened.
But before everyone could calm down, they saw the zombies running quickly into the villa.
"Fuck! That's so fast."
The door of the villa opened, and Wang Fei, Wu Zhaoming and Song Yuanxi rushed forward to deal with the zombies. However, as soon as they started fighting, they found that the zombies were not only faster, but also learned to dodge.
In the past, when fighting zombies, they would basically just run and bite people. They wouldn’t hide when you hit them. But now, zombies can dodge!
There were eight zombies, and Song Yuanxi and the other two could not handle so many mutated zombies at once. Soon other zombies bypassed them and rushed towards Yinli and the other two who were behind them. Juzi was startled and quickly activated his water-based ability, but it was of no use.
"Yin Li, let's run!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yin Li protected Juzi and Yan Sheng behind her and quickly rushed towards the five zombies. She usually had a slow reaction, but at this moment her speed became very fast.
The five zombies thought Yinli was one of their own kind and didn't take her seriously. But in the blink of an eye, one of the zombies had his head twisted cleanly by Yinli. The movements of the other four zombies paused for a moment, as if they were wondering why their own kind would kill them?
The body of the zombie whose head was twisted off was dead, but the head was still alive and kept jumping. Combined with the empty eyes that were glowing green, the scene looked particularly weird.
Yinli ignored the head and quickly did the same to the other four zombies, killing them all.
The Ling Qing siblings who came out from the villa next door happened to see this scene: "..."
Suddenly I felt my neck was a little cold.
Over there, Wang Fei and his two companions were able to finally deal with the zombies with the help of their special powers, but the zombies were not dead. The eight heads glowing green on the ground were very conspicuous against the dark sky.
Everyone present had experienced the apocalypse for more than two months and had seen many big scenes, but seeing this scene at this moment, they still felt a little scared.
It was drizzling, Yinli was standing in the rain and suddenly fell down.
"Yin Li."
Song Yuanxi, who was not far from her, caught her immediately. Before he could hold her horizontally, the girl in his arms was snatched away by someone. Song Yuanxi raised his eyes and saw the man remained silent, his expression still as indifferent as usual.
He held the little girl in his arms as if nothing had happened, and his cold voice reached the ears of everyone present: "You can break open the zombie's head and see."
"Break open the skull?"
Song Yuanxi and a few others looked at the head on the ground, feeling even more frightened.
But they still followed Yan Sheng's instructions and used their supernatural powers to break open the zombie's head in a few strokes. Suddenly, crystal-like objects of different sizes appeared in front of everyone. Wu Zhaoming was bold and took out the crystal directly with an expressionless face.
In an instant, the head seemed to have been powered on, and the green eyes suddenly went out, and the zombie was completely dead.
"What is this?" The others also picked up the crystals.
Wu Zhaoming frowned: "I feel like this crystal seems to have a powerful energy, and it seems to be somewhat connected to my supernatural power. I don't know how to explain this feeling. Do you have the same feeling?"
"I have, too."
"I have, too."
Except for Ling Han's mother, who has no special powers, everyone who got the crystal had this feeling.
"Let's go inside and talk. The zombies outside may have all been upgraded now. With the duration of our special abilities, it will be difficult to deal with them." Song Yuanxi said hurriedly: "It seems that the reason why we attracted the attention of those zombies just now was because of what Brother Fei said."
Wang Fei knew this feeling best and nodded quickly.
The group entered the villa, closed the front door, and locked all the doors and windows. After confirming that Yin Li was fine and just unconscious, they did not leave Yan Sheng's room. They sat down on the ground and started talking in low voices.
"I'll talk first, and then everyone can add to it."
Seeing that no one objected to him, Wang Fei continued, "First, let me talk about the situation after the zombies upgraded. First, they are more sensitive to sound. At that time, I was in the house and just whispered a few words, but the zombies detected it and attacked me."
"Second, the zombies move faster, and in combat, they don't just passively take hits, but dodge. Third, there is a crystal in the zombies' heads. As long as the crystal is not taken out, the zombies will not die. That's all."
Song Yuanxi looked at Yan Sheng: "Yan Sheng, does the zombies' ability to dodge prove that they have learned to think?"
"There is a 90% chance that it can think. And this crystal, or more precisely, the crystal core, is the core of the zombie. Look at these crystal cores, some are big and some are small. Apart from this, do you feel any other differences between them?"
Several people took turns holding the crystal core, and everyone had the same feeling that the larger the crystal core, the greater the energy inside it seemed.
A dark light flashed in Yan Sheng's eyes: "It seems that my guess is correct. This zombie should be upgraded. The larger the crystal core, the higher its level."
"Then how do they upgrade?"
"I don't know about that. We still need to observe and test it. It's possible that they eat humans, or they eat mutants. Or, as time goes by, they will upgrade. All of these are possible."
Juzi asked anxiously, "What should we do then? Just now, Brother Xi and the others had a hard time dealing with one zombie, but before, they could deal with four or five zombies without any problems."
"The world is balanced, with yin and yang, white and black. Zombies can upgrade, and so can humans."
"How to get promoted?" The question was asked by Ling Han, who had been silent the whole time.
Before Yan Sheng could say anything, Song Yuanxi on the side had already thought: "It's the crystal core, right?"
"If I'm guessing correctly, it should be, don't you all feel it?"
Ling Qing frowned: "But how do we absorb its energy?"
Yan Sheng took two crystal cores and put them into the pocket of his white coat: "I'll take these two for testing. I don't know the details. You can try them with your supernatural powers. Of course, if anything goes wrong, I won't be responsible."
