Ning Xuan's surprised voice came from the other side.
"Well, we are investigating the direction from which the zombie tide is coming, and want to see if there is anything we can do in advance."
Ning Yu replied, and the zombies below started to make a new commotion.
More zombies emerged from the passage where the team had just come from, and these zombies were the same as ordinary zombies.
There was rotten flesh and rotten organs and limbs hanging on his body, his face was hideous and terrifying, and his mouth was open.
They moved towards this side in a disorderly manner, as if attracted by something.
The hard-working zombies who were originally bathing in the black flames all made way, just like they were getting up and moving after taking a hot spring bath.
They moved backwards in an orderly manner, waiting for the new guys to come forward.
"What's the use of this thing?"
Ning Yu saw the strange phenomenon below and felt that something was wrong no matter how she looked at it.
"This was originally prepared for the so-called final ceremony, but it was tampered with by Morning Star and contaminated."
"Right now, we only know one specific function, which is to provide Morning Star with a source of power."
"So sister needs to find a way to destroy these contaminated mechanical altars."
Ning Xuan explained, and then said: "I will start from this side and go underground, and help my sister."
Ning Yu saw the ordinary zombies below bathing in black flames, and amazing changes began to occur on their bodies.
Their decaying bodies actually began to slowly heal, but it was not the healthy kind of healing, as their skin color remained unchanged.
But the rotten flesh and organs returned to their original positions, and other damaged parts of their bodies were also repaired.
The most important thing is the change in their eyes.
From a strong desire for flesh and blood, to confusion, and then to a slightly sober state.
The few zombies standing closest to the altar have begun to look around to see the other zombie brothers around them.
"I'm afraid it does more than that."
Ning Yu glanced at Shen Yiyue who was also stunned, and said to Ning Xuan.
"What's going on? What did my sister see? Is there any danger?"
When Ning Xuan heard Ning Yu's words, she immediately became nervous.
"No, don't worry. It's just that the zombies that can be seen everywhere seem to have begun to gain self-awareness after being baptized by this altar."
Soon, more and more zombies woke up. They seemed to have just woken up from a long dream. Although they were still kneeling, they looked around like the guys in front.
Those hard-working zombies who had already developed self-awareness walked forward and began to babble in some language beside them.
But that was not human language. Although Ning Yu could hear the syllables, she couldn't understand them at all.
The ability to communicate using language is definitely a sign of intelligent creatures. Compared to those zombies that only know how to eat flesh and drink blood, these conscious zombies are definitely more terrifying.
"It's actually like this?! What on earth does Morning Star want to do?"
Ning Xuan was a little surprised when she heard it.
Ning Yu was also thinking about this question. She paused before speaking, "I have a guess that Morning Star wants to create a new group through these zombies."
"A kind of new human that changes from human to zombie and then from zombie back to human?"
"They will undoubtedly become loyal servants of the Morning Star, and they will be wise ones at that."
Suddenly, a fuzzy signal sounded from the other end, which was a sign that the [Long-distance Disposable Communication Device] was about to run out of time.
"There's no time, sister. Take care of yourself. I'll send you the map of the underground project."
Ning Xuan's voice came intermittently from the other side.
"Take care of yourself too. We'll meet over there."
Ning Yu also said, at the same time a picture was sent from the [long-distance disposable communication device].
The picture is a map filled with intricate passages and square nodes, each of which has a number.
If I'm not mistaken, these nodes all represent the altars below at this moment. Because they are exactly the same, they need to be distinguished by numbering.
The coordinates that Ning Xuan had sent before were in the same format as these numbers.
In other words, they need to go to one of the countless altars here to get the "help" provided by Lacey.
"Do you want to destroy the altar down there?"
Ning Yu looked at the group of zombies below. Although they had intelligence, their combat power was not even as terrifying as that of a few mutated gluttons.
"I'll go down first, you can act accordingly."
Ning Yu and Shen Yiyue gave an order and asked her to set up the machine gun and sniper rifle on top and aim them downwards, ready to kill or open fire on a large area at any time.
The two people have already communicated the corresponding gestures. As long as Ning Yu makes the corresponding gestures, Shen Yiyue will launch an attack together with Ning Yu.
“Pah.”
A clear sound of footsteps landing rang out in the empty space.
The zombies in the middle who were still bathing in black flames turned their heads one after another, and the hard-working zombies over there also turned their eyes and looked at Ning Yu who had landed on the ground.
She held the Blood Kite in her right hand, which was glowing reddishly and exuded a murderous aura.
“Uh huh.”
“Ouch!!!”
Outside the altar, the ordinary zombies who had not yet had time to fully bathe in the flames felt the attraction of flesh and blood, and began to howl and rushed towards Ning Yu.
On the contrary, the zombie in the middle position was very interesting. At first, he couldn't help but look back, and looked like he wanted to eat Ning Yu, but when he was halfway there, he suddenly seemed to wake up.
After hesitating and wandering for a few moments, he actually walked back and knelt down, continuing to accept the baptism of the black flames, and was no longer interested in Ning Yu.
Looking at the zombies rushing towards him, Ning Yu loosened his right hand.
The blood kite fell flat on its back, then floated up, followed by a faint sound of a knife.
"bass!"
It was so fast that it was difficult to see with the naked eye. It was like playing a bingo game. It accurately and neatly cut off the heads of all the zombies that came over with just one knife. The cut surface was very smooth.
Ning Yu is now becoming more and more proficient in controlling the Blood Kite.
Those zombies who were controlled by the desire to devour had all fallen to the ground before they even got close to Ning Yu.
Seeing this scene, Ning Yu looked at the hard-working zombies who had already gained consciousness.
really.
They all began to retreat, almost leaning against the wall. They looked at each other, and seemed to be saying something in a babbling voice.
Communicating with each other and making noise.
