Chapter 751: They Carried The virus

“I was wondering why these zombies gathered there. Ever since we pa.s.sed by the last zombie crowd, we barely saw any zombies on our way here. Is the new base a lie? I guess w.a.n.g Jian and his people will never come out again,” Lu Tong stared at the female zombie and said calmly. While talking, he was also pondering upon the current situation.
“What do you mean?” Li Honglin turned to look at him and asked.
“It’s impossible, isn’t it? If it’s not real, who released the information? Why did they make up a story about a new base that didn’t exist?” Chen Hao blinked and said, “Besides, why are you so sure that it’s not real?”
“Yeah, and it’s normal for zombies to surround a base. We haven’t seen the wall of the base yet,” Li Honglin looked at Lu Tong and said, agreeing with Chen Hao.
Lu Tong glanced at the zombie crowd in front of him. He wasn’t sure about his guess either. “Should we wait for a while to see if we can find some other humans? We can ask them about the new base before going in. Or, maybe we can enter the base from another direction.”
“Why did these zombies let w.a.n.g Jian and his people in? Why not us?” Chen Hao looked at the zombie crowd and asked with confusion.
Those zombies weren’t the same as the ones he and his people met earlier. Those zombies madly pounced on them and tried to bite and tear them once they sensed their scents. Unlike those, the zombies they were now looking at had only been standing there quietly and creepily, without moving at all.
Only the level-five female zombie was looking at them fiercely. She was nice to w.a.n.g Jian and his people just now. She threw them to the other side of the zombie crowd, but when she did that, she only held them by their clothes or kicked them with her feet. Clearly, she avoided touching them with her nails.
More importantly, she was calm back then. But now, she looked quite ferocious. Once the group of humans moved slightly closer, she would roar at them.
“It’s because one of you is infected by the virus. Haven’t you found out about that?” A clear voice came from the sky.
Li Honglin and his people slightly raised their heads to see a girl in a black sports suit standing on a utility pole. The girl had short hair. It was cold in the winter, but she didn’t seem to be afraid of the coldness. She stood high in thin clothing, letting the freezing wind blow on her face. Dark sungla.s.ses covered her eyes.
“Virus infection? That’s impossible! None of us is infected,” Li Honglin paused briefly when the girl showed up, then realized what the girl had just said and denied immediately. If anyone among his people were infected, he would have killed him or kicked him out of the group long ago. He wouldn’t possibly let that person stay in his group.
It turned out that w.a.n.g Jian and his people got through because they didn’t carry the virus. They couldn’t because someone among them was infected by the virus.
“I guess you don’t know,” Yun Meng flashed across the air and then showed up beside zombie number five, then continued to Li Honglin and his people, “She didn’t let you in because one of you is carrying the zombie virus. You have to find that person or none of you can get in.”
Li Honglin, Chen Hao, and Lu Tong automatically turned to look at their people.
Lu Tong quickly glanced backward, then turned to Yun Meng and asked her, “Why do we have to believe you?”
Yun Meng shrugged as she spread her hands and responded carelessly, “You can choose not to believe me. I don’t care whether you join our base or not. You can always join another base.”
One among Li Honglin’s people had his head lowered the whole time. His face was covered under his hood, and his hands were hiding in his sleeves. The people near him paid attention to Yun Meng and the surrounding zombies, so they didn’t notice his strange condition.
Chen Hao first scanned his men carefully one after another with his eyes. After confirming that all his men were fine, he turned his eyes to Li Honglin and his people.
“Who’s not feeling well? Come on, tell us!” Chen Hao said loudly.
“If you want to get in, you can do that one by one. We’ll easily find that infected person. We can also save time that way,” said Yun Meng.
“Alright, we’ll do it first!” Chen Hao immediately agreed, then waved at his people.
He didn’t fully trust Yun Meng, who looked like a teenager. He only felt that he had come this far and it would not be wrong. He wasn’t expecting the new base to use zombies as virus detectors. That was something new.
There was nothing to be afraid of, as long as those zombies didn’t launch attacks.
Chen Hao turned and gave Li Honglin and Lu Tong a glance, then waved to his men again and said, “Brothers, they don’t want to go. Let us get in first. We’ll have jobs and food and places to live inside the new base.”
After saying that, he gave Lu Tong another glance in a meaningful way as he sneered in his heart.
It would be even better if Lu Tong never got into the new base. He told himself that he needed to think of a way to stop Lu Tong from entering the base!
With that thought, he wore a fake smile and said to Lu Tong, “Lu Tong, I think this is the new base. I understand that you may not believe her. Maybe, you can wait here. I’ll get in to see what’s going on, then come back to let you know. What do you think?”
Hearing that, Lu Tong had his eyes glowing. He turned to Li Honglin and said, “That’s a good idea. I think we can wait here.”
It wouldn’t be too late for them to make decisions once Chen Hao and his people got in and learned about the truth of the new base. He knew Chen Hao’s secret, so he wasn’t worried that the latter might not come back.
“I’m cool with it,” Li Honglin looked at him and nodded.
Lu Tong then turned to Chen Hao and said, “Don’t forget what you said.” His pretty, pale face wore a smile. While talking to Chen Hao, a subtle, vicious look emerged in his eyes. It lingered there for a second, and then was replaced for the normal, faint smile.
Zombie number five was observing the group of people whose names she did not know. She quickly scanned Li Honglin, then shook her head in her heart. He was poor-looking, without an attractive vibe, and was not tall enough. She gave him fifty out of a hundred, then immediately turned her eyes to Lu Tong.
In her eyes, Lu Tong was way too skinny, even looking like a skeleton. He had a sick look on his face, although that face of his was rather good-looking. She still didn’t like him because he looked too vulnerable. For the sake of his face, she decided to give him sixty.
Then, she looked at Chen Hao, who was even worse-looking than the last two. He looked unfriendly, tall and strong, and muscular. Handsome muscular guys were appealing, but he was not handsome. He looked too fierce, not ugly though, but not pleasing either.
He had a better vibe than the last two, but wasn’t as pretty as the weak man. So, zombie number five gave him fifty-eight.
She honestly was not a fan of guys who looked like Chen Hao.
