If the headquarters were like the former village or the third base, she might feel more at ease and try not to let her thoughts run wild. Unfortunately, except for Yingzi and Qiu Chao, who were normal people, the pedestrians on the street and the various staff members at the headquarters... she felt that they did not look like living people.
After Duan Xiaolin found out, he laughed at her for overthinking it and said that the people at the headquarters were just the products of domestication.
She replied: "What's the difference between that and a dead person resurrecting."
The man curled his lips and asked her if she still remembered seeing those caged zombies on the streets of the Third Base.
"I remember that."
Duan Xiaolin explained with a smile, "For zombies, long-term captivity and drug injections gradually numb them and make them lose their aggressiveness. This method also applies to headquarters."
She was speechless for a while.
The confinements on both sides of the third base are cages for the zombies. The high-intensity work and maintenance here at the headquarters are also cages for the people here.
She couldn't leave the headquarters and didn't want to cause any more trouble, but she could still feel the power of the disaster from the lights on in the square all night, the prisoners inside and outside the dungeon that were packed with prisoners, and the refugees surrounding them.
I'm afraid that apart from the headquarters, the world outside has long been in chaos, with countless lives lost. Under the joint attack of parasites and zombies, countless people died on the way before they could even reach the threshold of the headquarters.
But she didn't expect that the headquarters would accept refugees from outside.
She hadn't been out for two or three days. She had just taken Xiaobai out for a stroll when she saw long queues forming on both sides of the originally busy street, as if they were waiting to collect some supplies.
These refugees came in batches after batches, and in a short period of time they occupied almost all the streets in the headquarters, big and small. She almost had no place to step, and she bumped into several people on the way.
They seemed to be going to grab supplies, and they walked in a hurry, not noticing Pei Xiqing standing on the side of the road. After bumping into him, he looked impatient.
When they saw her dressed up, their anger and irritation subsided a little, and they all bowed their heads: "Sorry, ma'am, I bumped into you."
Pei Xiqing shook her head: "It's okay."
Watching them quickly leave, she grabbed Little White's rope and walked back with it.
But Xiaobai was like a demon, and insisted on getting into the huge crowd queuing in front.
She quickly pulled in: “Xiaobai!”
Xiaobai rushed into the crowd, disrupting the order. She hurriedly apologized. Xiaobai finally stopped, but before she could react, she smelled a foul stench.
She subconsciously covered her mouth and nose and looked towards the source of the stench. A human-faced octopus with eight tentacles was slowly crawling over the head of a refugee. Its tentacles inserted into the man's head and it began to devour him in public.
Someone nearby screamed immediately.
The people in the queue dispersed instantly.
"Help... Help..." The man stretched out his hand towards Pei Xiqing, and the smelly saliva of the mutant octopus on his head fell on his skin, instantly devouring his skin and giving it a burnt smell.
Pei Xiqing loosened the rope in his hand, "Xiaobai!"
Xiaobai immediately rushed forward.
Bite the parasite off the man's head.
The parasite and Xiaobai were entangled together, and the tentacles and Xiaobai's mouth were fighting with each other.
Xiaobai bit the parasite tightly, shaking his head wildly and rapidly, and with his terrifying bite force, the parasite was bitten to death in less than five seconds.
Xiaobai brought the parasite to Pei Xiqing and wagged his tail frantically as if asking for praise.
Pei Xiqing touched its head and squatted down to check the parasite.
Just the size of your palm.
Skin mucus is smelly and sticky.
But it can't be hidden well in the human body.
If it weren't for the foul smell that attracted Xiaobai over, it would be almost impossible to find him in the crowd.
The parasite was completely bitten to death. She wiped Xiaobai's mouth, which was oozing mucus, with a handkerchief, glanced at the man on the ground, who was holding his head and groaning, and asked, "Did this parasite follow you in? How did you bring it in?"
"No... I, I don't know either. It just popped out of my ear! Miss! Please save me! I haven't been infected or parasitized yet. I still have my priesthood. I will never turn into a zombie!"
