Chapter 71 : C71
Song Shi subconsciously reached out to cover her lips and nose, resisting the strong desire to vomit.
That place was too disgusting.
Even Gu Chi frowned slightly.
The news from the headquarters was that there were a lot of zombies, but he didn’t expect there would be too many.
Rather than a dead city with no humans, it was more like a tomb where zombies were buried.
The corpses lying on the ground were piled up, the gray-green rotting flesh and oxidized black blood glued together, leaving no gaps on the road.
There were too many dead bodies, covering the road. They were layered on top of each other. The lifeless pieces of meat were randomly piled up, like a slaughterhouse that had not been cleaned many years ago.
There was almost no place to stand.
“Let’s find another way,” Gu Chi frowned.
Lu Yunfei pinched his nose and said, “Captain, it’s really not necessary. I can bear stepping on these things.”
“I’m afraid that there might be zombies that are still alive among these corpses. It will be very difficult for us to guard against them.”
Lu Yunfei was stunned.
“That’s true.”
“Mu Yu, Lin Xun, and Chi Ying, you three in a group. Song Shi, Lu Yunfei, follow me.”
Lu Yunfei was taken aback, and said, “Are there three people in a group this time?”
“Well, because we don’t know what’s hidden here at all.” Gu Chi’s expression was quite serious as he continued, “Chi Ying and I both have the ability to deal with uncertain dangers. It is best to have me and her lead to ensure the others’ safety. Dividing into two groups is the safest.”
“Remember to avoid the piles of zombies when you act. Report any situation to me immediately. Remember not to be reckless, let alone make up your own mind.”
“Yes!” During the investigation, Lu Yunfei found that Song Shi seemed to be much more active than before when she was on missions, and she would immediately respond and run over to anything suspicious.
He wondered if it was because of Gu Chi.
However, he couldn’t find out what was wrong.
Yuhu City was huge, and the ground was full of zombies, so it was not easy to settle down. At that rate, even if they looked for another ten and a half months, it would be futile.
“Captain!” Seeing Gu Chi approaching, Lu Yunfei shook his head, indicating that he didn’t get any useful clues.
“I see.” Gu Chi narrowed his eyes, “Tell the others to gather in this place after.”
“Okay.”
Lu Yunfei told Chi Ying and the others through the communicator, then turned and prepared to leave.
“Song Shi, let’s go.”
“Oh, here I come,” Song Shi was a little disappointed.
Why was the place so big? When would she find some clues?
“Hiss!”
Just as she was about to leave, Song Shi froze suddenly.
Did she hear someone’s voice?
She opened her mouth, wanting to remind Lu Yunfei in front of her, but no sound came out of her throat.
Song Shi tilted her head, glanced to the side from the corner of her eye, but found nothing.
“Song Shi?” Seeing her not moving for a long time, Lu Yunfei asked strangely, “What’s the matter, did you find anything?”
“No, no.”
Song Shi bit her lower lip. If she told Lu Yunfei what happened, he would tell others that he found the clue alone.
The temptation offered by the alliance was too great, she had to guard even against Lu Yunfei.
Besides, she really didn’t see anything, so it was okay if she didn’t say it, right?
She pretended not to know and said nothing.
Silently remembering the location of that voice, she raised her heels to follow Gu Chi and Lu Yunfei.
Chi Ying was the latest to arrive at the assembly point.
Because she was the only one who could fly over walls without breaking a sweat, Gu Chi asked her to investigate from a high place.
So it took time to come back.
“Is there anything suspicious?” Gu Chi asked her.
“Except for a little strange sound, I didn’t find anything else.”
“What sound?” Gu Chi asked hastily.
“It’s like the roar of a machine, but it’s also like the sound of wind. It’s not loud, so it’s hard to tell the direction.”
She frowned.
Although her hearing was very good, the voice was intermittent, and it was almost inaudible when it was disturbed by various wind noises in the high altitude.
“Oh, it’s probably the wind,” Mu Yu sighed.
There was a lot of wind in the high places, so it should be nothing special.
She glanced at the detector on her wrist, and said, “It didn’t detect the appearance of a zombie leader either. Could it be that those ability holders disappeared out of thin air?”
Gu Chi pursed his lips and said, “Let’s go back first.”
On the second day, they were still looking for clues among the corpses of zombies just like the day before, but it was not in vain.
Gu Chi came out of an abandoned parking lot, looked at the zombies on the outermost layer, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. He walked slowly around the piles of zombies nearby, looked carefully for a while, and narrowed his eyes when he found something.
He took out the protective props from his backpack, put them on his calves, and walked toward the middle of the road paved by zombies.
He stopped in front of a corpse with a clean complexion. It was buried in other corpses in a prone position, but the exposed neck was white and clean.
Crouching down, Gu Chi reached out and turned the body over.
The true face of the body was finally revealed to him.
It was not the original skin color of the body, but the paleness after death.
There were spots on the body, but not the gray-green color like that on the zombie’s body.
