Chapter 57
[Drip drip drip———]
In an armed vehicle driving at night, the screen in front of the driver's seat suddenly burst into a violent red light, and the cold prompt sound of the vehicle system instantly woke up the drowsy people.
[Warning! Warning! Warning! Abnormal spiritual energy detected nearby, please handle it immediately! ]
[Warning! Warning! Warning! Abnormal spiritual energy detected nearby, please deal with it immediately! ]
[Warning! Warning! Warning…]
Urgent prompts were given over and over again, and a route map automatically unfolded on the screen. The location of the armored vehicle, about 40 kilometers away, was flashing an ominous black light.
"Captain!!!" Bai Ling's voice at the driver's seat was crisp and sharp. Tu, who was dozing off in the back seat, jumped out of the car unconsciously, and then his head hit the roof of the car with a "bang" sound.
"Hiss..." Tu Jiaojiao touched the top of his head which was aching, "What's going on?"
Previously, they followed the remains of Painted Skin after he exploded and his tracks before his death, but they didn't find anything useful. Special Team 9 had no choice but to turn back. They planned to go to the hospital in Chongming City where Painted Skin exploded to check if there was anything missing.
"Wutong Town, under the jurisdiction of Chongming City?" Lan Huiyu had already come to the co-pilot from the back seat. She half-knelt on the co-pilot's chair and operated on the large screen in the driver's seat, "Black - it's weird!"
Under normal circumstances, when there is a situation near an armed vehicle that requires special teams to handle, the flashing light is red, but when it comes to situations involving non-human, demon, spirit, or ghost, the flashing light is black.
"Xiao Shuo! Use the intranet to estimate the strength of the monster!" Lan Huiyu quickly divided the work, "Bai Ling, turn around!"
The wheels of the armored vehicle spun on the ground and headed straight towards Wutong Town. Xiao Shuo, a man with chestnut curly hair, took out a computer from the side. His fingers flew across the keyboard, leaving afterimages. His pupils dilated slightly, and there was a creepy sense of concentration.
The armored vehicle drove for about ten minutes, and Xiao Shuo spoke slowly: "Strength F level?"
"Stop joking, okay?" Tu Jiaojiao leaned forward with his crew cut head. In the car at night, the orange color on his temples was still dazzling. "An F-class strength would never give such a warning."
"I haven't finished yet..." Xiao Shuo continued slowly, "The peak value fluctuates violently between the intensity level F and C, and it is impossible to make a further estimate."
Under normal circumstances, the intensity of the weirdness will not change. The most likely reason for the drastic fluctuation is that the weirdness does not exist alone, but there are many individuals. These individuals are very close to each other, so they are judged as a whole by the detection system installed on the car.
Tu Jiaojiao also realized the implicit meaning of his words. Looking at the peak line on the computer screen that looked like a disco, he felt a dull pain in his head: "Can the scope of the weirdness be further defined? The area of a town is not small..."
Although all special teams are accustomed to encountering emergencies on the road, the frequency of emergencies in the past two years is really too high, so high that it is a bit unbearable.
After Tu Jiaojiao complained, he took out his cell phone and started calling the person on night shift at Yigui, preparing to have him and Xiao Shuo work together to narrow the scope and save time.
They were making all-out preparations. Bailing had already driven the armored vehicle at the maximum speed limit in the city. The onboard system kept issuing warning prompts, one after another, making people more and more anxious.
The communication between Tu Jiaojiao and Yiguichu was not very smooth, because Wutong Town was located in a remote area and there was not much useful information. On the large screen in front of the driver's seat, the flashing black light had slowly dispersed. It was not known whether the scope of the weirdness was spreading or the weird individuals were moving, but whether it was the former or the latter, it was not good news.
After driving for nearly an hour, when the car was about to approach the edge of the flashing black light on the map, the armored vehicle suddenly shook, as if it had hit something.
Braun braked suddenly, and the tires made a sharp friction sound against the ground.
Xiao Shuo, who was still immersed in the data, slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with fear: "Did he hit someone?"
Lan Huiyu stared at the windshield in front of him without saying a word. Bailing, who was driving, had a serious expression on his face and also remained silent.
As the main driver of Special Forces Group 9, Bailing would never make such a low-level mistake as hitting someone on the road, not to mention that the car is equipped with a life monitor, which will give a warning if someone approaches while the car is driving at high speed.
They had indeed hit something, but the life monitoring device remained silent and the real-time camera installed outside the vehicle was completely dark.
"I'll get off the car and take a look." Lan Huiyu checked the weapons on his body, "You guys stay alert."
"Wait a minute." Tu Jiaojiao suddenly said, "Bai Ling, enlarge the real-time camera image on the screen."
Although I don't know why Tu Jiaojiao wanted to watch the real-time camera that couldn't capture anything, Bailing still did it quickly.
When the real-time camera zoomed in, everyone got goosebumps. The other side of the camera was not completely dark, but... moving.
To be more precise, it was a pair of eyes without whites, staring right in front of the camera.
"What the hell!" Bai Ling, who was closest to him, was the first to be shocked, and blurted out some uncivilized words.
Lan Huiyu was also shocked.
“Bang—!”
Perhaps they had stayed in the car for too long and the unknown creatures under the car could not wait any longer. The nine groups of people only felt the car body shake, and then an arm covered with green hair appeared on the hood of the car. Immediately afterwards, another arm stretched out.
This scene was really frightening and nerve-challenging. Bailing shifted gears and released the accelerator almost instantly, and before his arms were fully raised, he was crushed again. Then Bailing reversed, moved forward, reversed, and moved forward... The entire body of the armored vehicle was shaking because it kept crushing the unknown creatures.
“Lingling, don’t be so nervous!” Tu Jiaojiao was a little nervous at first, but now he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “It’s just a green zombie!”
“Don’t mention that word to me!” Bailing felt as if the psychological shadow reappeared. “How could there be such a disgusting thing as a zombie in the world? Ahhhhh————”
Five minutes later, the green zombie was almost half-dead. The people from Group 9 got off the car and looked at each other in bewilderment at the half-human-shaped creature covered with green hair lying on the ground.
Bailing was the last one to get off the bus. She was holding a Bagua mirror in her right hand, a small bag of glutinous rice in her left hand, and a piece of century-old peach wood around her neck. She came through the door fully armed.
With her eyes half closed, she stuffed the Bagua mirror and glutinous rice into Tu Jiaojiao's arms and said, "Leave it to you, Team Leader!!!"
"Hurry up and make it happen. We still have to go to the gathering place of the monsters!" After stuffing her things, she ran back in a flash. "We can't afford to waste time there!"
Tu Jiaojiao: “…”
He and Lan Huiyu looked at each other, and both of them thought of the same question at the same time—
The appearance of green zombies is most likely not accidental. The monsters detected by the detection system in the strange gathering places are most likely... zombies.

Yu Tu had never hated his good eyesight so much. Even though the voice-activated sensor lights in the corridors of the old residential buildings were broken, he could still see the horrific situations on both sides in the darkness.
The purple zombie on the left has already smashed the wooden door inside and it will probably break out soon. On the right side, near the stairs, a strange head covered with white hair is slowly turning. The footsteps behind the head are getting closer, and it can be heard that something is knocking heavily on the ground.
Yu Tu took a look at the rusty hollow iron gate that was shaking and about to fall down at any time, and decisively picked up the barking black dog at his feet. The green vine was instantly fixed on the narrow handrail of the attached staircase. He jumped down, and the vine took him to the platform between the top floor and the fifth floor in an instant. Before Yu Tu landed on the ground, he heard a loud noise above his head - the iron gate on the right side finally completed its mission in life and was completely scrapped.
Thanks to the zombie movies he watched with his older brothers and sisters who came to volunteer when he was a child, Yu Tu also has a certain understanding of these things, but he never thought that one day the fake things shot in the movies would actually come into real life!
Yu Tu wanted to cry but had no tears—there were actually such unscientific things as zombies in this world!
When he followed the little black dog and watched it trying hard to pick up plastic bottles, he never thought that things would develop out of control like a wild horse running wild and develop to the current situation!
When they reached the platform on the fifth floor, Yu Tu continued to release green vines and set up a vine net in the downward passage on the sixth floor. No matter what kind of zombie was on it, it would be blocked for the time being.
After releasing the green vine, he nimbly climbed out from the small window on the wall of the platform between the fifth and sixth floors. The green vine quickly leaned against the wall and condensed at his feet, acting as a buffer for him all the way. The rapidly falling wind blew the corners of his clothes flying, making him look like a master.
Yu Tu had an expressionless face as he held the shell of Buyehou, but he had actually started to scream in his heart. Others used full protection when bungee jumping, but he did not use any safety measures when jumping off the building!
People have unlimited potential in life-and-death situations. Yu Tu relied on precise positioning to release the vine, and in just a few seconds he landed safely on the open space in front of the old residential building.
Before he could get over, a shadow appeared above his head. Yu Tu's body reacted faster than his brain and he quickly dodged to the side on tiptoe. Something fell down and made a spider web-like pattern of holes on the concrete floor.
When the dust from the smashed cement settled, a human-like object with long hair was lying in the pit. It had fallen from the fifth floor and was still moving.
“Crunch—Crunch—”
This humanoid object moved among the broken cement and actually crawled out of the pit little by little!
When Yu Tu saw his entire body clearly, his heart sank.
Hairy.
It is agile, can jump and leap like the wind, has skin of iron and bones of steel, and is not afraid of fire.
After the hairy zombie got up, its head was stiff, with only the whites of its eyes left staring at Yu Tu's arm.
There was only a strange-looking little black dog there.
Being stared at by a strange creature like this, the little black dog naturally felt dangerous. It bared its newly grown fangs and threatened fiercely: "Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!"
The hairy zombie was frightened at first and stood still, but soon it jumped forward stiffly.
The little black dog, who looked ferocious just now, suddenly woofed and buried its head towards Yu Tu, pretending that it didn't exist.
