In the end of the ice age, I hoarded tens of billions of supplies

After Zhang Yi and the others returned to the shelter, they sat in the living room to rest.

The women at home thoughtfully served hot drinks and food to help them replenish their energy.

Zhou Ke'er stood behind Zhang Yi, gently massaged him to release the pressure.

But this time, although he successfully repelled the tide of corpses again, Zhang Yi's face did not look relaxed at all.

Instead, a cloud of suspicion enveloped his heart, making him look worried.

Such an expression made Fatty Xu, who was laughing and bragging with Uncle You, feel weird.

"Boss, why don't you look very happy?"

Everyone noticed that Zhang Yi's expression was wrong, and they all cast concerned eyes.

"Yeah, what are you thinking? It looks so serious."

"If you have any questions, we can discuss together!"

Zhang Yi looked up at everyone, took a deep breath, and explained:

"We eliminated more than half of yesterday's corpse group. But today's corpse wave, the number of zombies is only a lot more than yesterday."

"This shows that the infection rate of the zombie virus is very fast, and those people who may die have become zombies."

"If this is the case, sooner or later the entire Tianhai City will be completely occupied by zombies! I can't imagine how we will live at that time."

Zhang Yi's words made the smiles on everyone's faces disappear.

Everyone bowed their heads in thought, with worried expressions on their faces.

Yang Xinxin sat in a wheelchair, took a sip of cappuccino unhurriedly, and said:

"But at present, it seems that this tendency is not obvious. Otherwise, the other party will not only mobilize thousands of zombies to attack us every time!"

"However," she changed the subject, with a rare serious expression, "If we can't figure out the truth about the appearance of these zombies, they will definitely become a big trouble in the future."

Lu Keran let out a long sigh.

"If only it were summer now! Those zombies will all rot and turn into skeletons."

Zhang Yi said: "The scariest thing is not their number, but that they seem to have a manipulator, so they are not brainless monsters."

"Plus that they are very difficult to kill, and can only be burned or dismembered. This adds to the trouble of dealing with them."

Yang Xinxin said: "Then the most important thing is to solve the manipulators behind them?"

Zhang Yi smiled: "It's simple! Where can I find them? Every time we kill half of them, they will run away."

"I can't even judge whether there is a manipulator among the corpses. After all, things like abilities..."

Zhang Yi spread his hands: "It is full of uncertainties, and it is difficult for anyone to deduce it with common sense."

It is even more impossible for them to easily go to the depths of the subway to investigate.

Because there must be more zombies hiding there.

Even though their combat effectiveness is extremely strong, Zhang Yi will not leave the protection range of the shelter unless necessary.

Just when everyone had different opinions, Zhou Ke'er, who was standing behind Zhang Yi, spoke softly.

"Actually, I have a guess."

Zhang Yi subconsciously raised his neck and tried to look behind him, but his sight was covered by two curves, so he couldn't see Zhou Ke'er's face.

"Oh?"

Zhang Yi signaled Zhou Keer to continue talking.

Usually, as a doctor, Zhou Ke'er doesn't directly participate in the battle plan.

But this time, her professionalism as a doctor was reflected.

She understands the virus better than anyone at the shelter.

So her speech is of great reference value.

Encouraged by Zhang Yi, Zhou Keer said:

"In the past two days, I have studied the zombie's body, and indeed found a very strange virus-like thing."

"It can withstand extreme cold, and can even survive at minus 100 degrees Celsius, and it can invade the nerves of living things and control the body."

"but……"

Zhou Keer frowned slightly.

"It does not conform to the definition of viruses in modern biology. Its structure should be between viruses and cells, and it is more inclined to be cells, but it can invade the host's body to control and reproduce like a virus."

As a scumbag who threw away knowledge after graduation, Zhang Yi was confused.

"Ker, can you make it simpler?"

In this house, there are only a handful of people who can understand what Zhou Keer said.

At least the three men are at a loss.

Zhou Ke'er smiled embarrassedly.

"After the end of the world, under the influence of gamma rays, biology has been redefined. Let's call it a zombie virus for now."

"In simple terms, it reflects the habits of some colonies and even social animals."

"When the zombies are among the corpses, their actions are consistent and even show some wisdom."

"However, for the corpses studied in the laboratory, even the reproductive instinct is weakening, and the stress is also getting worse."

"So I suspect that this virus may be controlled in a similar way to biological populations, where the mother of the virus can somehow remotely control them."

Zhang Yi sat up straight from the sofa, "Remote control?"

Zhou Ke'er quickly waved her hand: "Of course, it doesn't mean a very long distance. For example, animals can convey messages through smell. And this mutated virus must also have a way for them to convey messages."

Zhang Yi said: "Do you mean that as long as the mother is killed, these infected zombies will also die?"

Zhou Keer shook his head.

"It's hard to say. At least it won't become what it is now. It can act on a large scale and has a certain amount of wisdom."

wisdom!

These two words sounded like thunder in Zhang Yi's mind!

His eyes lit up, and he finally discovered the reason for that sense of disobedience!

"I seem to understand something!"

He put his hand in and explained to everyone: "Have you noticed that the attacks of the corpse tide in the past two days seem to be ferocious, but also seem to have a certain degree of wisdom."

"But in fact, the zombie group's style of play is quite naive, and they always choose to retreat after some zombies are killed."

"This feeling is like a two or three-year-old child who is slowly learning to speak. He can only take it slowly one word at a time."

When Zhang Yi said this, everyone felt that it was very reasonable.

The group of corpses still looked stupid, even if they were attacked by flamethrowers, they would not choose to disperse the attack.

But he also knows how to avoid Zhang Yi's dimensional door, and choose to run away when he senses that the situation is not good.

There is wisdom, but not much really.

"Wait a minute, Zhang Yi! I seem to understand what you are talking about."

The one who spoke was Liang Yue.

She folded her arms, eyes full of caution.

"You mean to say that our opponents may be intelligent zombies."

"It may have mutated after human death, or the mutated virus became the mother after occupying the human body."

"In short, it has just acquired wisdom and is still learning how humans fight."

Zhang Yi thought in his heart that this guess was very possible.

That kind of fighting method is not like that of a human being with normal IQ, but it is not completely brainless.

"If there is such a thing, it should be the existence that can be called the corpse king."

"After all, we have confirmed two conditions for obtaining supernatural powers. One is near death, and the other is the stimulation of foreign objects like ice."

"Then, it is not impossible to obtain supernatural powers after death."

A brief flashback appeared in Zhang Yi's mind, but he didn't tell anyone the secret.
