Chapter 73 Conditions
In this crisis-ridden world, a terrifying zombie that can possess others has appeared! This undoubtedly brought great panic and threats to the survivors. In order to quickly and accurately identify whether each other has been controlled by this terrifying zombie, after careful consideration, Jiang Xianchuan stood up and solemnly announced to everyone: "In view of the current serious situation, we must formulate a special code that only we know. From now on, our code is set as - Just because Thursday, v I am a gifted stone."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present couldn't help but feel nervous. The originally calm atmosphere instantly became tense and depressing. Everyone looked at each other, with anxiety and vigilance in their eyes, as if the companions around them might turn into ferocious and terrifying zombies and pounce on them at any time.
Looking at the commotion and panic in the crowd in front of him, Jiang Xianchuan frowned slightly, then cleared his throat and said loudly: "Everyone, please remain highly vigilant, but at the same time, do not lose trust in each other because of excessive suspicion. Okay, that's it for now, let's adjourn." With his order, people dispersed with uneasy mood.
However, Jiang Xianchuan did not leave immediately, but walked straight to where Lin Pianyue was not far away, where Ji Tiantian, who had just recovered from being possessed by a zombie, was sitting. Jiang Xianchuan walked quickly to her and asked Ji Tiantian about her condition with concern: "Tiantian, how do you feel today? Do you feel uncomfortable?" Since learning that Ji Tiantian was unfortunately possessed by a zombie, Jiang Xianchuan would take time to visit her several times almost every day, fearing that she would have another accident.
Hearing Jiang Xianchuan's question, Ji Tiantian raised her head, forced a smile and replied, "Well...it's okay." Jiang Xianchuan immediately asked, "Really? Are there any abnormal reactions in your body?" Ji Tiantian shook her head gently, indicating that everything was normal.
Seeing this, Jiang Xianchuan breathed a sigh of relief, but he still reminded her: "If anything happens or if you feel something is wrong, you must tell this sister in time." Ji Tiantian nodded obediently and said, "Okay."
After comforting Ji Tiantian, Jiang Xianchuan immediately called together several core members including Bai Su to prepare for an emergency small meeting.
After everyone gathered together, Jiang Xianchuan said in a serious tone: "In order to ensure our internal security and the confidentiality of the operation, I will set a new exclusive code that only a few of us know - passionate hammering, I will be injured in seconds." After that, he looked around at everyone present, and saw them nodding to show that they understood.
Over the next few days, the atmosphere in the camp became extremely tense and strange, because everyone had to confirm each other's identities through secret codes almost every day. As this situation continued, the uneasiness in people's hearts gradually spread.
One day, Bai Su laid out the documents that had accumulated over the past few days on the table with a serious look on his face, and then said to Jiang Xianchuan, "I think we can't go on like this. Some members have begun to doubt whether those who can accurately match the secret code are real companions. They even worry that they may be zombies in disguise."
Jiang Xianchuan frowned slightly, crossed his arms over his chest, and nodded thoughtfully, expressing his agreement with Bai Su's statement: "That's true. After all, in today's dangerous environment, no one can be sure when they or the people around them will be possessed by zombies. Maybe the partner who fought side by side with you and called you a brother in the previous second will become a cold enemy controlled by zombies in the next second."
Bai Su sighed softly and continued, "Alas, I ventured out today and captured a zombie with autonomous consciousness. I immediately handed it over to Pianyue for research, but I'm still unclear about the results of the research."
Hearing this, Jiang Xianchuan's eyes flashed with a hint of expectation, but more of it was still worry. He nodded slowly and replied: "Well, I hope this research can make a breakthrough. We really need to find an effective way to fight these zombies."
While the two were talking, Yi Yuzhi rushed into the office with a look of anxiety on his face. He didn't have time to catch his breath before he hurriedly reported to Jiang Xianchuan: "Captain, it's bad! Qi Xiaoyao just caught a person possessed by a zombie, and the zombie specifically asked to see you."
Jiang Xianchuan's eyes froze when he heard that. He stood up without hesitation and said decisively, "See me? Then lead the way." After that, he followed Yi Yuzhi out of the office quickly, ready to meet this mysterious visitor.
The possessed girl was originally ordinary and had no special abilities, but now she was no longer the innocent and kind girl.
Her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were empty but emitting a strange light. She looked like a scary zombie. However, when she saw Jiang Xianchuan approaching slowly, she unexpectedly showed a creepy smile: "Handsome brother, you are here! I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you so much."
Jiang Xianchuan was slightly startled when he heard this, and then his brows knitted tightly. Although the creature in front of him still retained the appearance and voice of a girl, she was obviously no longer human. Faced with such a weird scene, Jiang Xianchuan calmed himself down and said in a cold voice: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
The zombie didn't seem to notice Jiang Xianchuan's indifference and vigilance, and still said with a smile: "Of course it's because I want to see you, my beautiful brother."
Li Lingyu, who was standing aside, was already furious. He tightly grasped the hilt of the knife at his waist, with veins bulging on the back of his hand. If he was not worried about accidentally hurting his companions who might still be saved, he really wanted to rush up and cut the hateful zombie into pieces.
Jiang Xianchuan stared at the zombie in front of him with cold eyes and responded without any emotion: "Since you just want to see me, I am already here now."
The zombie seemed a little dissatisfied with Jiang Xianchuan's cold attitude. She frowned slightly and said coquettishly, "Oh, my pretty brother, please don't be like this. How about we negotiate a deal?"
Jiang Xianchuan narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "What conditions?"
A sly smile flashed across the zombie's face, and she said slowly: "As long as you follow me obediently, I promise not to hurt this girl, otherwise... hehehe..." At the end, she let out a sinister and terrifying laugh.
Jiang Xianchuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and said lightly: "You are on my territory, and you still want to negotiate with me?" The zombie did not respond when he heard it, but suddenly exerted force and instantly broke free from the ice restraints imposed on it by Qi Xiaoyao. He moved as fast as lightning, holding the sharp blade and stabbing towards his own abdomen without hesitation.
"Is this okay now?" The zombie still had that creepy smile on her face, staring at Jiang Xianchuan, as if waiting for him to give an answer. Her tone was full of threats: "If your handsome brother doesn't agree to my request, then she will die today!"
Jiang Xianchuan's brows were slightly wrinkled, but they relaxed after a moment, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay, I promise you." Before he finished speaking, the zombie smiled contentedly, and said coquettishly: "Hehe, I knew you would agree." Then, she leaned over the body of a boy next to her again, waved at Jiang Xianchuan, and said: "Brother, come with me quickly, remember, no one else is allowed to follow."
Jiang Xianchuan turned to look at Lin Pianyue beside him, and said sternly: "Sister Pianyue, please take her to receive treatment first, and the rest of you, don't follow her. Do everything she says. When I'm not around, everyone must obey Li Lingyu's command."
At this time, Li Lingyu seemed to want to say something, but Jiang Xianchuan took the lead and cast a stern look at him, indicating that he didn't need to say anything. Then, Jiang Xianchuan whispered to comfort him: "Don't worry, Yubao, the camp is left to you."
After finishing the explanation, Jiang Xianchuan no longer hesitated, turned around and followed the boy possessed by the zombie, and his figure quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
