“I'm hungry…” A pair of rotten hands suddenly appeared in the cave, and then a zombie propped up his body with both hands, revealing its ugly head.

Long Xi had already opened the safety of the gun and shot the zombie quickly.

But her bullet was off target. Fortunately, Fu Xinjie helped her make up for it and shot through the zombie's head, whose blood splashed on Long Xi's face.

“F**k!” The zombie did not seem to feel any pain. After a few convulsions with numb expression, it said the last sentence and lay motionless at the cave entrance.

Long Xi took two steps back in terror and fear, wiped the blood from her face, and said with a trembling voice, “How can this zombie talk? Maybe it is not a real walking dead? Is it something between a human being and a zombie? Eh? Isn't he Brother Fenggou? I know his clothes. When did he get the virus? We've been in contact with him, so will we be infected?”

Yan w.a.n.gchuan held her and said, “Don't worry! We won't mutate. If we were infected, we would have already mutated!”

Yu Fei took out another pair of binoculars and continued to investigate. He saw a faint fire in the bamboo forest in the distance.

Lu Hua reminded everyone, “The key to our mission is not to kill the zombies, but to eliminate the source of the virus. First of all, we need to find out where the source of the virus is!”

Long Xi said, “Those zombies can talk and are different from those on TV! Otherwise, let's catch a zombie and interrogate him to see if he knows when he got the virus.”

Fu Xinjie said, “Good idea!”

Yu Fei suddenly said, “I see them!”

Long Xi picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction that Yu Fei pointed.

With the light-emitting function of the binoculars, Long Xi could see a tower on the top of the mountain. There were countless zombies walking under the tower, just like mushrooms springing up overnight!

These zombies walked slowly, aimlessly…

Seeing so many zombies, Long Xi took a breath of cold air. It was too much. Even if she shot their heads with every bullet, she could not kill so many zombies.

“With so many zombies, will the virus source be in the tower?” Long Xi asked.

Yu Fei said bravely, “I'll go to investigate. Don't worry. I used to be a scout. I know how to disguise and hide.”

Fu Xinjie nodded and said, “You should disguise yourself better and do not let them find you.”

Yu Fei daubed his face with mud, wrapped some vine branches and leaves on his body, put on a green helmet, slowly climbed down the rope from the cave entrance, and slowly and stealthily advanced toward the tower.

Long Xi looked at the tower, which was as high as three floors. Each floor had a small opening similar to a window. This small opening could only accommodate one child at most. The size of an adult's body could not pa.s.s through at all.

10 minutes later, Yu Fei sent back a message on his walkie-talkie and said, “There are many zombies here, outside and inside the tower. The door of the tower is made of iron and the walls of the tower are made of steel and cement, which can be blown up with bombs. I just saw a woman with a good figure walk in wearing a white robe and a white mask. She has a cool bald head. She looks like a female doctor, not a zombie. But the zombies don't do anything to her. They seemed afraid of her and obeyed her command.”

Fu Xinjie said, “A female doctor? Will the source of the virus be in her hands?”

Long Xi said, “She may not be a female doctor. Maybe she's a female scientist. Every time Brother Kun develops something in the laboratory, he will wear a white robe and white mask.”

Lu Hua said, “Female scientist? Maybe she develops these viruses that make people become zombies. Brother Jie, shall we attack the tower?”

Fu Xinjie said, “We don't have much time. We need to take the initiative! Let's see how many human players are left! Every player has a walkie-talkie!”

Long Xi understood and said into the walkie-talkie, “Players who have not become a zombie, report your name. Remember, speak faster! So we can make sure you are still human! I'll report first. I'm Long Xi.”

From the other end of the walkie-talkie came quick replies. “Zhao Fangfang”, “Lao Li”…

Long Xi counted. There were only 21 players who reported their names.

Together with the seven people in Long Xi's group, there were a total of 28 people.

Before they finished speaking, a male player suddenly rushed through the gra.s.s in front of the tower and shot at the zombies outside the tower.

Fu Xinjie said into the walkie-talkie, “You all need to find a place to hide, and try not to be found by zombies. We must save our strength!”

People at the other end of the walkie-talkie replied, “OK!” “I'm hidden!”

Fu Xinjie turned off the walkie-talkie and said to Long Xi, “Most of them are scattered. Now we seven people need to unite. Five of us need to be strikers and attack the tower. Grandma Pu and Weiwei, stay in the base camp. I will arrange the tactics…”

After arranging the tactics, the six of them disguised themselves and joined Yu Fei.

“Dada…” Yan w.a.n.gchuan was the first to rush out. The submachine gun continuously fired bullets like fire. A whole row of zombies fell down together. However, after the zombies behind found them, they rushed over with strange cries.

Yan w.a.n.gchuan's main task was to lure zombies away.

He ran into the deep woods, and the zombies pursued him closely, but most of them were far away because of their slow movements.

At this time, there were only a few scattered zombies below the tower.

Fu Xinjie, Yu Fei, Long Xi, Lu Hua, and Bai Bing launched an attack at the same time. Finally, the zombies at the gate of the tower were temporarily cleared. Fu Xinjie let Lu Hua hide with a sniper gun and guard this stronghold, and others rushed into the tower.

There were also many zombies in the tower. They overcame all the difficulties in the way and all got hurt in the fierce battle but finally arrived at the top of the tower.

There was an attic on the top of the tower. The iron door was closed.

They were about to break in. Unexpectedly, the iron door suddenly opened and a woman in a white mask came out.

She said to them, “Come in. Congratulations. The source of the virus is here.”

“You are a scientist?” Long Xi asked.

“Yeah,” the female scientist said, taking the initiative to let everyone in, then shut the iron gate.

Fu Xinjie continued to aim at her with a gun and Long Xi locked the iron door.

A dim light flickered in the attic. It resembled a laboratory room inside. Except for the iron door, there was only a small opening like a window, which could be a vent.

There was a hospital bed near the vent. The female scientist looked at Bai Bing, who was stabbed by zombies and bleeding from her chest. She said, “She's seriously injured. She needs to be infused immediately.”

“Wait a minute.” Long Xi stopped the action of the female scientist for the first time.

Although the attic was clean on the surface, as soon as Long Xi entered here, she smelled an odor of corpses.

This odor was exactly the same as the smell of the zombies before.

“What's the matter, little girl? If your friend continues to bleed, she will die,” the female scientist said with a smile.

When the scientist smiled, she showed her teeth like jade. Her watery eyes were as black as lacquer and as deep as a pool, which contained boundless beauty and sadness, making Long Xi feel that it was familiar.

Long Xi said, “There is no need for transfusion. Let me bandage her.”

The female scientist nodded and said, “You don't believe me? You know, I'm the only living person in this tower now.”

Long Xi ignored her and began to bandage Bai Bing.

Fu Xinjie asked, “Who are you? How can you be alive here?”

The female scientist in front of them was so strange. A person who could be so calm when facing the crisis of zombies must have problems.

The female scientist said, “My family name is Su. You can call me by my English name, SU. To be honest, I invented this virus. I call it the zombie-like virus. In fact, I was forced to make it because my daughter was in their hands. “You can see that these zombies are not traditional zombies. They still have some people's consciousness and can speak, but their bodies start to rot like zombies. Their movements and speaking speed are also very similar to zombies, right?”

“Oh!” Fu Xinjie nodded. Suddenly, she pointed the gun at the female scientist's head and said, “Where is the source of the virus?”

“Haha, don't be so impatient…” Being targeted like this, the female scientist didn't panic at all. She glared at her eyes and said, “Is that how you treat someone who is ready to help you win?”

Fu Xinjie said with fierce eyes, “You can either say it or die. You choose.”

“The people on Earth are ruthless indeed! In my eyes, you are no different from those who kidnapped my daughter and forced me to do things for them!” The female scientist said coldly, “It's a pity…”

Before she finished speaking, the female scientist suddenly shrank to the size of a three-year-old girl, like having a bone-shrinking skill. At the same time, she jumped out through the small ventilation-like opening.

Fu Xinjie fired three shots at once, but the speed of the female scientist was too fast. It was not the speed that a normal person should have!

“Earth people all deserve death!” The voice of the female scientist disappeared at the window.

Fu Xinjie rushed over and looked down from the opening.

The female scientist's body actually changed shape in midair, as if her body had been flattened. She was like a paper man, falling into the dense forest in the distance, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

“She ran away!” The facial expression of Fu Xinjie was some unsightly as she said, “What kind of monster is this female scientist? Her body can deform like a rubber man, and the speed is so fast!”

While searching the lab, Long Xi said, “When I was watching a movie with Brother Kun, I heard him say that the human body has great potential. If a man takes some drugs to stimulate these potentials and change the structure of the body, he can become a person like the X-Men. But the drug has a lot of side effects on the human body, so Brother Kun said he would not make this invention.”

“Bang, bang…” There was a group of zombies outside hitting the iron door. Maybe those zombies who were lured away by Yan w.a.n.gchuan had returned to their senses, knew they had been fooled, and rushed back.

It seemed that these zombies still had some people's consciousness!

“Cough.” Bai Bing coughed with her eyes half-narrowed. She looked pale. After all, she had lost too much blood. She could persist and didn't become unconscious until now just because she had a good foundation.

Long Xi took a look at the bottle of saline that the female scientist was just about to give Bai Bing. She opened it and poured a little down on the ground.

“Zi, Zi!” White smoke rose from the ground. After the white smoke cleared, the ground was corroded into a hollow.

Bai Bing felt scared after what happened just now and gasped, “There is indeed something wrong with the saline. Thank you, Xiao Xi. I would have died without you.”

Long Xi said, “It's OK. Forget this. I'll have a look in that little room.”

She went straight to a small room inside.

It was a bedroom, which was very clean and tidy.

Long Xi opened the closet and there were women's clothes inside. According to the style of the clothes, they belonged to the female scientist.

There was a ma.n.u.script in the corner of the closet.

Long Xi picked it up and opened the first page. It read: “I didn't expect to come to the Earth so soon! MK said that it would take a year, but I only needed about two months. Does the s.p.a.ce-time tunnel also produce orbit changes?

“My s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p didn't arrive at the destination according to the cosmic coordinates sent by MK, but fell into the vast sea.

“The s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p was badly damaged and sank to the bottom of the sea.

“I tried my best to get on sh.o.r.e, then found that it was a deserted island.

“I have lived on the island for more than two months and gave birth to a daughter. She was very cute and looked just like me when I was little!

“I named her MU, which is the combination of MK and my name, SU.

“She is the daughter of me and MK!”

Some of Long Xi's memory had been deleted by Mo Kun, so she didn't remember who MK was, nor did she remember that this female scientist was actually Mo Kun's comrade, SU.

She also didn't remember that SU and Mo Kun were both aliens from Planet BT, let alone that SU's daughter was actually a clone of SU.

Sometimes, ignorance is bliss!

She turned to the second page and saw that it said: “MU was growing very fast, not the growth rate of ordinary babies.

“Only two days after she was born, she grew to weigh 16 pounds when she only drank human milk.

“On the fifth day, she actually learned to turn over.

“When she was a month old, she was as old as other babies when they were half a year old. She learned to sit up and called me mom!

“My a.n.a.lysis: This is likely to be a sequela caused by the extreme radiation of Planet BT, which is called a fast-maturing disease on our planet! But for the moment, it seems to have no harm.

“MK, where are you? My communicator sank to the bottom of the sea with the severely damaged s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. I can't contact you! I have not seen a boat pa.s.sing by. I can't get back to the land. Will you come to find us?”

The fourth page read: “Today, a dozen Earth people came to the island. The leader said that he was Chen Jian, and the woman he held was Qiu Zi, who seemed to have a bit of discourse.

“When they saw me and MU and, they were very surprised and asked where we came from and how we were on this desert island.”
