Chapter 486 Mummy
There was no expression on Bian Junwu's face.
He just said to everyone calmly: "This is just the beginning. Maybe the corpses are still watching, but all we have to do is wait patiently."
“It’s like fishing, it’s the angler or the fish who is more patient.”
No plan is absolutely perfect, and they are only trying based on the intelligence they have so far.
If it fails, try another method.
Anyway, if the zombies stay put, they won't lose anything except time.
No one has a better way.
At this time, no one dared to divide their troops and go out to investigate.
So I had to continue to wait and plan to wait and see for a while.
While the meeting was going on, Zhang Yiyou secretly looked at the expressions of Zheng Yixian and Yuan Kongye.
There was nothing strange on the faces of the two people, which made Zhang Yi feel relieved.
It seems that what he did was not exposed.
However, he would also wonder, is it possible that the so-called forbidden area is not so important?
Otherwise, the Snow Worship Cult would definitely be more strict in its defense.
No matter what, Zhang Yi still plans to study the things he obtained.
Late that night, Zhang Yi woke up a few people, and then took out the few things he found and showed them to them.
After everyone knew that Zhang Yi had broken into the forbidden area of the Snow Worship Cult, although they were a little nervous, they were also looking forward to it.
People are curious.
The feeling of peeking into other people's secrets is particularly exciting.
Zhang Yi took out the red fruit, branches and leaves, and the cocoon.
When he took out the cocoon, the expressions on several people's faces were obviously strange.
Because of the size of the cocoon, it looked like a person was wrapped inside it.
Zhang Yi said to Zhou Ke'er: "Ke'er, you are more familiar with the knife here. You can be responsible for cutting them open!"
Zhang Yi Space has all the tools in the laboratory.
Here, she can conduct dissection and research.
Zhou Keer said: "This fruit and branches must be returned to the laboratory for careful study. The environment here is not suitable for use."
"However, this cocoon is a bit weird. It looks like a mummy!"
As soon as she said this, everyone nodded.
Everyone strongly agreed with her statement.
Zhang Yi also hoped that this was a mummy and not an insect egg.
Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Zhou Keer took out his set of surgical tools.
However, she did not rush to dissect. Instead, she took out a small flashlight and shined it on the cocoon.
Through the light, everyone could vaguely see what was inside the cocoon.
It was clearly a humanoid being, but it was very skinny and seemed to have only bones left.
"It's really a mummy!"
Zhang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, the corpse was still within the scope of his understanding.
"I seem to understand the function of that thing."
Zhang Yi had a guess in his mind.
"Tell me, what do you think?"
Liang Yue asked curiously.
Zhang Yi smiled and said: "Let's cut it open first! Maybe things are not so mysterious."
Zhou Keer nodded.
She took out the knife and unfolded many sharp knives.
She picked up a handful and cut the dark red leaves from the head very firmly with her slender palms.
Sure enough, after cutting open the leaf, a skinny corpse appeared inside!
Zhang Yi recalled that inside the abandoned building, there were thousands of such corpses hanging densely on the walls, and he already knew the function of the plant in his heart.
"That's it!"
In the midst of everyone's puzzled looks, Zhang Yi explained:
"There is a huge mutant plant inside the abandoned building. It should be able to absorb nutrients from the corpse and then produce this red fruit."
"We also saw many snow worshipers eating this red fruit."
"That's probably where their food comes from."
"In other words, their forbidden area is actually a living granary. No wonder they are so careful not to allow any outsiders to approach."
After understanding the truth, everyone inevitably felt a little boring.
After all, they have no shortage of food and are not interested in this mutated plant that can feed thousands of people.
Of course, this plant is amazing and valuable.
It's just that Zhang Yi and the others don't really need it.
Zhou Keer poked the corpse with a scalpel and found that it had been completely drained, with no trace of flesh and blood left.
It seems that the corpse has indeed been completely converted into nutrients.
Zhang Yi then said to Zhou Keer: "When we get back, analyze the composition of this fruit and its branches and leaves to see if there is anything abnormal."
Zhang Yi has actually lost interest in the plant.
Just out of usual caution, I just asked Zhou Keer.
Zhou Keer nodded, "Give me some time! This plant is very easy to study. I'll make a slice and observe it with a microscope and biological reagents."
……
On the investigation team side, Meng Siyu took off her white gloves, looked at the dissected corpse in front of her, and said to Bian Junwu not far away:
"It's just a corpse that has been drained of nutrients. There is nothing abnormal about it."
"As for the fruit it produces, it has some hallucinogenic effects. It can help the higher-ups of the Snow Worship Cult better control their followers."
"But no germs were found, and the sugar content is quite high. It should be considered a nutritious food."
Bian Junwu pushed his toad mirror and said, "I understand."
"When you go back, take a part of the rhizome and see if the experts in the laboratory can cultivate it. This thing is very useful."
……
Deep inside an abandoned building.
Zheng Yixian stood in front of the blood vine, raised his head and looked at the cocoons hanging upside down.
"3968, 3969, 3970... Oh, one less."
"How curious they are!"
……
The next day, there was still no trace of the corpses.
This made the gloom in everyone's hearts become heavier and heavier.
The less the corpses appear, the more likely it is that they are planning a terrorist attack.
Bian Junwu has already used the resources of the Jiangnan Region to monitor the entire Tianhai City using satellites, trying to find the trajectory of the zombies.
Finally, with the help of high technology, they found clues.
Bian Junwu called everyone over and told them the latest news.
"The corpses are gathering, and they are gathering in this direction."
"Preliminary estimates put the number at least 10. You must be prepared, this is a tough battle!"
"One hundred thousand?"
This number makes everyone frown.
Their current number of combatants is only more than 2,000.
To deal with that group of monsters that are difficult to kill, and possibly face bronze-armored corpses whose combat power is comparable to that of high-level aliens, this battle is definitely very dangerous.
Zhang Yi said secretly in his heart: There are definitely more than 100,000!
You can only listen to what Bian Junwu said, but don't believe it all.
In order to let everyone act as bait and attract the frontal combat power of the zombie army, he naturally had to stabilize everyone.
So the numbers he mentioned should be at least doubled to listen to.
Even double, triple... or even more.
Apart from anything else, Zhang Yi found tens of thousands of zombies in remote sub-channels alone!
Now that all the zombies in Tianhai City have gathered here, no one believes you when you say that there are millions of troops!
But Zhang Yi didn't say it.
Anyway, there are only a few of them, so they can throw away their picks and run away at any time.
At worst, take everyone around you and escape from Tianhai City. At least you can leave Qingshan without worrying about having no firewood.
