Mummy

There was no expression on the border soldier's face.

He just calmly said to the crowd: "This is just the beginning, maybe the crowd is still watching, but we have to be patient and wait."

"It's like fishing. It's more patient than the fisherman or the fish."

No plan is perfect, and they are only trying based on the information they have so far.

If you fail, try another way.

If the zombies stay put, they have nothing to lose but time.

No one had a better idea.

At this time, everyone did not dare to separate troops to go out to investigate.

So I had to wait and watch a little longer.

When the meeting was going on, Zhang Yi had secretly looked at Zheng Yixian and the original empty night expression.

Two people's faces without any strange, which let Zhang Yi rest assured a lot.

It seems that what he was doing was not exposed.

But he also wondered if that forbidden place might not be so important after all.

Otherwise, the snowworshippers would have been more strict in their defense.

In any case, Zhang plans to study what she has obtained.

Late that night, Zhang Yi woke up several people, and then took out the few things he found to show them.

Everyone know Zhang Yi broke into the worship of snow after the forbidden land, although some nervous, but at the same time some look forward to.

People are curious.

The feeling of prying into other people's secrets is especially exciting.

Zhang Yi took out the red fruit, branches and leaves, and the cocoon.

When he pulled out the cocoons, there was a distinctly odd look on the faces of several people.

Because of the size of the cocoon, it looks like there's a person inside.

Zhang Yi said to Zhou Ke Er: "Ke Er, this inside you are more familiar with the knife, you are responsible for cutting them open!"

We have all the tools in the lab.

It's a place where she can dissect and study.

"The fruit and branches have to be returned to the lab to be studied slowly," Zhou said. It's not the right environment to play in."

"But there is something odd about this cocoon. It looks like a mummy!"

As soon as she said this, everyone nodded.

Everyone agreed with her very much.

Zhang Yi also expected that this was a mummy, not an egg.

Zhou Ke 'er took out his own set of surgical tools under the eyes of everyone's expectation.

But instead of dissecting, she took out a small flashlight and hit it on the cocoon.

Through the light, the people dimly saw what was inside the cocoon.

It was clearly a human being, but very thin, seemingly only bone.

"It's really a mummy!"

Zhang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, the body is still something within the scope of understanding.

"I kind of understand what that thing does."

Zhang Yi's heart has a guess.

"Come on, what do you think?"

Liang Yue asked curiously.

Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Cut it open first!" Maybe it's not so mysterious."

Zhou Ke 'er nodded.

She took out her knives and unfolded many sharp knives.

She picked one up and, with her long, slender palm, very steadily cut the dark red blades from her head.

Sure enough, after the blade was cut open, there appeared a body with skin and bones!

Zhang Yi thought back to the abandoned building, where thousands of such corpses were hanging on the walls, and already knew the function of the plant.

'So it is!

In the confused eyes of everyone, Zhang Yi explained:

"Inside the abandoned building is a giant mutant plant. It should be able to extract nutrients from the carcass and produce this red fruit."

"We also saw many snow worshippers eating the red fruit."

"That's probably where their food comes from."

"In other words, their forbidden land is actually a living granary. No wonder they're so careful not to let anyone near them."

After learning the truth, it is inevitable that everyone feels a little dull.

After all, they had no shortage of food and were not interested in a mutated plant that could feed thousands of people.

Of course, this plant is amazing and valuable.

But Zhang Yi they really do not need.

Zhou Keer poked the body with a scalpel and found that it had been completely drained and there was no blood left.

Well, it looks like the carcass is fully converted into nutrients.

Zhang Yi said to Zhou Keer, "After going back, analyze the composition of the fruit and its branches and leaves, and see if there is anything abnormal."

Zhang Yi had actually lost interest in the plant.

Only out of the usual caution, asked Zhou Keer a word.

Zhou Ke 'er nodded, "Give me some time! It's an easy plant to study. I'll take a slice and examine it with a microscope and biological reagents."

...

This side of the investigation team, Meng Siyu took off his white gloves, looked at the body that was dissected in front of him, and said to the border Jun Wu not far away:

"It's just a body that's been drained of nutrients, nothing out of the ordinary."

"As for the fruit it bears, it has a partial hallucinogenic effect. It can help the leaders of the sect better control their followers."

"But there were no germs found and it's high in sugar, so it should be a nutrient-rich food."

Frog pushed his mirror. "I see."

"When we go back, take a portion of the rhizome and see if the experts in the lab can grow it." It's very useful."

...

Deep in the abandoned building.

Cheng Yixian stood in front of the blood vine, looking up at the cocoons hanging down one by one.

"3968,3969,3970... Oh, there's one less."

"How curious they are!"

...

The next day, there was still no sign of the swarm.

This makes everyone's heart is more and more heavy.

The more bodies don't show up, the more likely it is that they're planning a terrorist attack.

Border military has used the resources of the Jiangnan region, the use of satellites to monitor the entire Tianhai City, trying to find the trajectory of zombie action.

Finally, with the blessing of high technology, they did find clues.

The border army called everyone over and told them the latest news.

"The bodies are gathering, and they're gathering in this direction."

"The initial estimate is that the number is at least more than 100,000. Get ready, it's going to be a tough fight!"

"One hundred thousand heads?"

It's a number that raises eyebrows.

They now have just over 2,000 fighters.

To deal with a group of monsters that are difficult to kill, and possibly face the combat effectiveness of the advanced inhuman bronze body, this battle is definitely very dangerous.

Zhang Yi secretly said in the heart: absolutely more than 100,000 head!

What the border army says can only be listened to, not believed.

In order for him to make the crowd as bait, attract the frontal combat force of the zombie army, naturally, he must stabilize everyone.

That's why he should at least double the number.

Even double, triple... And even more.

Apart from anything else, only Zhang Yi in the remote sub-canal line, the number of zombies found are tens of thousands!

Now all the zombies in Tianhai City have gathered here, and you said that millions of people believe it!

But Zhang Yi did not say.

There are so few of them, they can walk away at any time.

Big deal, take all the people around you to escape Tianhai City, at least stay in the green mountains in not worry about firewood.
