The last emperor

Chapter 338 Using Corruptors

Zhang Jin found the location where the corroder attacked the patrol team. It was a remote building, and the man's body was buried in a nearby place. However, there were still traces of corrosion on the ground. Judging from the extent of the corrosion, it was not powerful. It was considered huge, but there was only a pile of corrosion layers more than two centimeters deep on the ground.

But this is already terrifying to the human body, and if it sticks, it will rot the skin and bones. Fortunately, non-advanced people will not spread, but this is also extremely painful.

There were still some snow traces in the shade, and I found a human-like footprint and a complete human footprint. Zhang Jin followed the trace for hundreds of meters, but the strange footprint disappeared. The human footprint was so deep that he searched for a while, but also Strange traces that appeared from time to time were found.

After entering another street, it was completely impossible to track it by footprints, and the human traces also disappeared. It seems that Chen Lie only chased here.

Zhang Jin continued to search with the eyes of the corpse, and the venom dripped from the mouth of the Corruptor from time to time, which became Zhang Jin's main target.

The commercial area is very large, and Boss Cao controls the center and the two streets on the left and right. Strictly speaking, it is only a deterrent covering the entire commercial area. Even the Green Gang dare not set foot in the main street.

The entire commercial area occupies almost one-fifth of Xinyang's land, and there are many buildings and tens of thousands of rooms here. Finding a mutant zombie is really like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Not long after, Zhang Jin also lost traces. After all, the eyes of the corpse are not far away, and they are not omnipotent. It is not easy to distinguish the traces of corrosion from the messy illusion.

After taking a look at the sky, he returned to the base to rest and prepare to continue the next day.

After dinner in the evening, Xiao Zhenbang began to teach everyone about firearms, and Su Ling and Hu Niu also joined in and studied hard.

Chen Lie went upstairs to ask Zhang Jin about the situation. He sighed when he found out that he had no clue, and said worriedly: "Mutated zombies are difficult for ordinary soldiers to deal with, especially when there are many buildings, it is even more difficult to guard against them. Find supplies."

Zhang Jin smiled and said: "It's not just because of this that they are not allowed to go out. The members of the Medicine Gang hold the secret passage from the North District to the South District. They must have explored in the South District. We can't let them find out what's going on here. "

Chen Lie said, "What arrangements do you have?"

Zhang Jin nodded and said: "Let these spies meet in a hurry first, then we have to send someone out to lure this spies to show up, and then capture him alive."

"You want to get the secret passage of the Medicine Gang?" Chen Lie played with the golden dagger given by Zhang Jin in his hand.

Zhang Jin said: "Yes, judging from the situation in various places, the possibility of a resurgence of zombies is very high, and we are running out of time."

Chen Lie said: "I heard that Shen Lun has gone to the North District. With this guy's skills, there shouldn't be any accidents. Doesn't Uncle Xiao have a way to contact Shen Lun?"

Zhang Jin frowned and said: "At first I wanted to wait for the sinking, but time is not allowed. If I fail to catch the spy, I will go to the North District myself."

"Okay, I'll go with you then." Chen Lie nodded.

Now it is true that Chen Lie can follow him. It is impossible for the Medicine Gang to attack the South District with great fanfare. Chen Ming is not clear-headed. If he enters the North District with Chen Lie, he may be able to do more things.

"Well, I will continue to look for mutant zombies in the past two days, pick someone from your team, and follow Huolei to learn how to lay explosives. This thing is useful." Zhang Jin said.

"Okay, I'm going down." Chen Lie put away the dagger, got up and walked out.

Zhang Jin understood what Chen Lie came to mean. He gave the dagger, which is equivalent to giving his life. Chen Lie will be loyal to him, but he doesn't want to be the mayor or instructor, but wants to follow him to fight for territory.

Strictly speaking, Chen Lie is a general, suitable for frontier positions, and it is his ideal to charge into battle. However, there are not many people who can be trusted, and most of them are not qualified to be the head of a town, especially in an important place like Chengguan Town. Even if Xinyangli can Losing the base, but not the city gate, is equivalent to a throat fortress, an important place that can be retreated and defended, and it is also the lifeblood of material diversion.

Perhaps after taking down the entire Xinyang, Chen Lie can do what he wants to do.

The next day, Zhang Jin left the base after breakfast, and continued to expand the search area to the place where the target was lost yesterday. This method was stupid but the only effective method. It took more than an hour to finally find the corrosion traces.

After searching until the afternoon, the traces disappeared again, and the clues stopped abruptly. Zhang Jin was not a person who gave up lightly, and continued to search in a range.

But he was surprised to find a living person hiding in a building, and the brain phantom of this person was very familiar, Zhang Jin quietly went to the partition wall of the next building to inspect it closely with his corpse's eyes, and smiled for a moment.

This person was the butcher who followed Boss Cao that day, that is, the leader of the dead men. After escaping from Chen Lie, he just left the main street and did not escape further.

This guy was curled up in a wardrobe, his body was covered with clothes, and he held a bottle of wine in his hand. He didn't know if he was in a daze or fell asleep, and he didn't move.

Zhang Jin was very interested in this guy's brain. The butcher didn't evolve, but the ancient brain was much more active than ordinary people. It felt like he had been infected with a virus and was activated, but he didn't evolve or turn into a zombie.

This kind of miracle has been heard before, and the only reason for this possibility is that the zombies infected with the butcher are also in the mutation stage, failing to evolve into mutant zombies, and the virus produced such a wonderful change in the butcher.

If this inference is correct, then the active part of the butcher's brain is the key to evolution. Since the last time he discovered the anomaly of the butcher, Zhang Jin has been on the same level as Xiao Zhenbang, Chen Ming, giants, etc. on ordinary people. I have compared them one by one in detail.

The ancient brain is relatively complicated, and the corpse eyes must be highly concentrated and explored layer by layer in order to distinguish the real key.

The preliminary result now is that the deep layers of the ancient brains of the evolutionaries do have a branch-like pattern, and there will be a small but infinitely enlarged tumor-like bead on it. He has seen more than a dozen of ordinary survivors Personally, I haven't found such lines yet.

Then the only thing needed now is to let a mutated zombie bite the butcher. If the butcher is not dead, then it is 90.00% certain that the key point of evolution lies in whether a person has that tree-like pattern.

Zhang Jin observed quietly. In the afternoon, the butcher probably woke up, got out from the pile of clothes, picked up an iron pipe, threw the wine bottle and walked slowly out of the building, and then observed at the door for a while. Run across the street.

Zhang Jin saw the butcher dodging into the opposite shop and didn't go out. The corpse's eyes just happened to be able to see some things. There were no zombies inside. The butcher rummaged through the cabinets looking for food and drink. He was not satisfied with two bags of food and waited until he found a bottle. Only then did he leave satisfied with the wine.

When I came out, I looked left and right again, and ran back to the hiding place quickly when there was nothing unusual.

"It's fun now."

Looking at the sky, Zhang Jin went downstairs quietly. It seemed that the butcher would not leave here for the time being. This place is not far from the main street, so ordinary survivors would not dare to hide here. The target that the Corruptor can find Only the butcher.

The Corruptor once appeared here, and the Corruptor's actions are not fast. It may not be far from here. Now there are two ways for the Corruptor and the Butcher to meet.

The first way is to drive the butcher out of the hiding place. The butcher will inevitably run away in panic, and there is a high probability that he will be discovered by the Corruptor. For the zombies, the butcher may be the only food here, so naturally they will not let it go.

The second is to attract the corruptors, which is equivalent to a turtle in a urn.

Zhang Jin chose the second option. He bit his finger with his teeth, and quietly sprinkled blood on the wall from the door. Zombies are very sensitive to the smell of blood, and now there is some wind, so it is easy to drift out. Just sprinkle more along the wall. , if the corroder is still within three miles, he will definitely find out.

After the blood was sprinkled, the sky began to turn dark. He quickly returned to the base. This time, he had to have Chen Lie's help. He couldn't let the Corruptor kill the Butcher, but he had to let the Corruptor bite the Butcher. It was difficult for one person to do it alone. This matter.

After returning to the base for dinner, Chen Lie didn't have training to teach, so he called Chen Lie aside and said, "Go out with me to hunt mutant zombies."

"Found it?" Chen Lie excitedly asked.

Zhang Jin nodded and said: "Maybe I have to squat overnight, I will tell you in the past, let's go first."

Chen Lie hurriedly informed Xiao Zhenbang, confessed that he would be on duty at the base at night, and chased him out.

On the way, Zhang Jin briefly described the mission objectives.

Chen Lie was surprised: "You mean to use the butcher not only as a bait but also as an experiment? Then if it is true as your reasoning, you have found the key point of evolution, will you let the butcher survive?"

Zhang Jin said coldly: "No matter what, the butcher must die. This kind of person is as serious a threat to survivors as zombies."

Chen Lie frowned and nodded, he agreed with this statement, but if the butcher wasn't a villain, would Zhang Jin still do it?
Although he had some doubts, he told him in his heart that Zhang Jin would strike. He gradually got to know Zhang Jin. This is an extremely terrifying person. There is no death, which is really terrible in the last days.

Therefore, in order to find evolution, Zhang Jin will definitely sacrifice a person.

If you take it as an example, the butcher is a villain, and this is the only thing that can comfort him psychologically. I don't know what Zhang Jin will think. Maybe this person has already put his emotions in the second place like a god.

When he came to the crouching point, Zhang Jin looked at the situation with his corpse eyes and said: "The butcher drank too much, he is probably sleeping, and there are no mutant zombies yet."

Chen Lie nodded and said curiously: "You said that there will be many changes in evolution. I found that after I stretched out the bone blade, people would become furious, and after roaring furiously, I would find a beating heart behind the wall. The castle master also has it." A similar ability?"

Zhang Jin smiled and said: "My ability is similar to yours, but I don't need to be in a rage to use it."

Chen Lie looked surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions. Zhang Jin intended to keep it, so he understood. Zhang Jin has too many secrets. Impossible, just know that Zhang Jin is a person who does not make mistakes, and he is doing the right thing all the time.

In the winter night, even if the two were evolutionaries, they could still feel the coldness, like two statues hiding motionless, no one spoke anymore.

Every once in a while, Zhang Jin used the corpse's eyes to search the surrounding situation, until the middle of the night when he found a figure with a bulging back behind the building, and whispered: "Mutant zombies are approaching."

Chen Lie looked at Zhang Jinshou under the bright moonlight and pointed out that gradually a monster about 1.5 meters tall, with a high back full of bags, but a thin figure walked out of the wall, and was following the pattern on the wall intentionally. Bloodstains walk.

"Will it find us first?" Chen Lie asked softly.

Zhang Jin said: "I left a bloodstain. The zombie's first target is blood. Like a shark, it will find the butcher first."

After the words fell, the Corruptor stopped suddenly, raised his head and stared at the high place on the wall.

That location was where the butcher was on the second floor, and a black liquid began to flow from the Corruptor's mouth, dripping to the ground and emitting a plume of smoke.

The Corruptor rubbed against the wall. After rubbing for a while, he realized that he couldn't get in. He let out a low growl, rubbed his whole body against the wall and started to move forward, but kept looking up at the sky, obviously locked on the Butcher's position.

After rubbing to the front, the glass on the window was broken, but the Corruptor still didn’t know how to get in. After trying, he couldn’t get in, and then started to rub against the side. Finally, he reached the door. The door was broken in the disaster, leaving a The opening, the Corruptor found and began to squeeze through the opening, but the bump on his body got stuck on the door.

Looking at it, Chen Lie was worried about this stupid zombie. The task was that the zombie had to find the butcher, but what if he couldn't get in. "Do you want to capture this zombie alive, and then capture the butcher?"

Zhang Jin shook his head and continued to stare.

At this moment, the vesicles on the bulge on the Corruptor's back suddenly began to burst, pools of venom flowed out, and what was even more surprising was that the originally flat abdomen began to bulge.

It was nothing at first, but soon the venom from the bulge on the back began to corrode the door frame, and the iron frame began to be destroyed like a smelt, and the bulge was also shrinking like a balloon leaking, just squeezed like this, after a while The Corruptor burrowed in.

Zhang Jin stood up gently and said, "We must wait until the mutant zombie bites the butcher before acting. You kill it, and I will observe the changes of the butcher."

Chen Lie nodded, and the two began to go downstairs quietly.

When he got to the front of the building, he found that a large part of the door had been corroded, and it was still smoking and emitting a stench. Chen Lie was shocked. The poisonous juice was too terrible. It would not be a good idea to capture it alive.

Zhang Jin got in through the window. In the eyes of the corpse, the Corruptor was anxiously entering the corridor on the second floor, and he followed lightly.

Chen Lie drew the short iron spear from his waist. Fortunately, he brought the short iron spear with him when he came, but at this moment he regretted that he underestimated the enemy. It might be better if he brought the long iron spear.

Following all the way to the second floor, the Corruptor went directly to the Butcher's door, but the Butcher didn't close the door where he was hiding, and the Corruptor easily opened the door and walked in.

The butcher was still sleeping in the closet. The door of the closet was opened a crack for ventilation. Through the moonlight, one could see that it was full of clothes and a hand holding a wine bottle.

The Corruptor went straight to the closet, only to hear the gurgling sound from its body, and suddenly wowed for a moment, and countless spittles from its mouth sprayed towards the closet door.

In an instant, the wardrobe was sprayed with poisonous juice, and the pungent smell rose with the smoke. The thin wooden cabinet door unexpectedly melted a big hole like paper being burned, and it was still spreading gradually.

A wisp of poisonous juice splashed onto the butcher's naked hand, and the butcher shook instantly, seeing the black juice on his hand burrowing into the meat like a worm, and it hurt a lot to watch.
