It didn't look like a passage with metal ladders, but more like it was dug out randomly with some crude tools.
But it is just convenient for them to overlook the situation ahead from above.
“Here I come.”
Ning Yu said something in an extremely subtle voice. The two of them were very close to each other, so Shen Yiyue could just hear it.
They stood above and looked down. The center of the entire area was the empty mechanical base. In the corner were some lighting facilities, some steel materials and containers for storing materials.
Several groups of people came in from the various entrances below as Ning Yu spoke.
The two people stared at it carefully for a while and were both surprised.
Those figures were not living people at all, but zombies!
But what was very strange was that they did not look angry at all, and even lined up neatly, wearing uniform clothes.
Each of them was carrying or dragging a variety of materials. Their bodies were obviously severely hunched, but they were barely able to support the weight of the heavy objects.
At regular intervals, there was a fully armed escort soldier with guns in his hands.
What is going on? !
Ning Yu and Shen Yiyue had never seen such zombies. They looked like oppressed slaves. Even though fresh human flesh was right next to them, they had no intention of resisting at all.
They were just carrying materials and moving forward silently, truly like the walking dead.
Ning Yu narrowed his eyes, stared at the zombie in the front and said, "Something is wrong. These zombies are a little weird."
"What's going on?"
Shen Yiyue turned her head in confusion, and the machine gun she was about to set up was gently held down by Ning Yu.
“Look at their skin.”
Ning Yu pointed at the zombie in the front that she was observing.
That zombie was probably a young or middle-aged man, with his hair still dyed yellow.
Although his skin was still the bluish-gray color of zombies, it was obviously different from those rotten zombies.
Because if you look closely, his skin is unusually intact, while ordinary zombies should have started to rot by this time, with the flesh on their bodies torn and tattered, and even bones visible.
There were thick dark circles under its eyes and its mouth was tightly closed, not open like that of ordinary zombies, always craving for flesh and blood.
If it weren't for the fact that there was an eyeball hanging next to the eye socket and that he still walked with the zombie-like stagger, people would probably mistake him for an ordinary person with a strange skin color.
The most peculiar thing was his expression, which was faintly tired, an expression that would never be seen on a zombie.
Ning Yu glanced back again, and her amazing eyesight allowed her to see the expressions of all the coolie zombies at a glance.
None of the zombies had that bloodthirsty and violent expression.
"They... look like they have consciousness."
Shen Yiyue turned around and exchanged opinions with Ning Yu.
Ning Yu also nodded, feeling that this seemed to be the case.
Two people were still observing from above, their figures hiding in the shadows. I guess the people below didn't expect that there would be other people in such a place.
Soon, the empty center of the mechanical base below was densely packed with hard-working zombies carrying materials.
Are these considered serfs in the cotton plantation in the apocalyptic era? Looking at the soldiers scattered in the corners, guarding the coolie zombies working in the middle with guns, Ning Yu couldn't help but feel absurd.
The coolie zombies looked like they had been trudging for a long time, and some of them even had their lumbar bones sticking out of their flesh, but they did not get any rest at all.
He immediately began working tirelessly around the mechanical base in the middle.
Some are placing parts, hammering nails and tightening screws, while others are responsible for transferring materials in the middle.
This scene is really hard to believe. Those zombies who could only bite their prey like wild beasts actually started to cooperate like humans.
It makes people feel both surprised and scared.
The monsters who don't know fatigue or pain have the intelligence to work together, and there are also mutated zombies among them who possess terrifying powers.
This is really Suddenly, a small change happened in the middle.
There was a short male zombie who accidentally failed to hold the thick steel plate firmly and fell to the ground. The steel plate hit his calf and bent it.
It fell to the ground and tried to straighten its calf, but the bone was broken and its leg was now twisted left and right at various angles.
"What are you doing!"
The soldier closest to it immediately stepped forward to check on its condition.
The zombie had just removed the steel plate from his body and was trying to stand up again, but he accidentally lost his balance and fell towards the soldier.
"unlucky!"
The soldier reacted quickly and kicked it away, but this kick happened to tear its already shaky calf apart.
It actually seemed to feel pain and began to howl with its teeth bared.
"Stop yelling! Get up and work! Hurry up!"
The soldier had an impatient look on his face and pointed his gun at its head.
Another equally short female zombie nearby, seeing the gun, actually put down the materials in her hands and hurried over to help up the male zombie with a broken leg.
But he could no longer stand, so he could only lift up his unbroken leg so that both feet were barely at the same height.
The soldier spat on the ground and cursed:
"Damn, another piece of trash."
With no intention of putting down the gun in her hand, the female zombie immediately fell to the ground, prostrating herself and began to kowtow on the ground.
It looked like it was begging for mercy?! This scene shocked Ning Yu and Shen Yiyue. How could it look like a zombie? It looked like a living human being.
"Hahahaha, it's wishing you a happy new year."
Another soldier not far away had a cigarette in his mouth, and the butt of the cigarette trembled up and down as he spoke.
The soldier called Lao Yu kicked the female zombie again, causing it to stagger.
"Hurry up and work, or I'll shoot you two losers."
"Stop talking nonsense, they won't understand you."
Just as he was about to retract his foot, he suddenly realized that his kicked leg didn't move at all?!
Only then did he realize that his legs were firmly grasped by the female zombie.
"You're rebelling!"
The soldier raised his gun and was about to shoot, but suddenly he let out a scream.
"ah!!!"
The female zombie had picked up his leg and bit it hard, leaving a bloody mess.
This sound was like a clarion call to war.
In the entire space below, all the hard-working zombies suddenly put down the materials in their hands and turned around.
