Calamity Island: Endless Trials

Chapter 176 Infection
"Roar--!"

The roar of the zombies suddenly sounded, and a figure rushed out of the closet.

But Huang Zixing, who was in a frenzy, didn't react at all.

The thigh he kicked forward was instantly embraced by the zombie, and the latter bit him.

Fortunately, the system's anti-stab suit saved him, and the zombie's teeth failed to bite into the skin.

Looking at that disgusting face and feeling the pain from his thigh, Huang Zixing woke up from the hyperactive state.

But then, the eyes were instantly terrified.

Damn it!There is actually a zombie hidden in this closet!
quick!kill him
Huang Zixing's heart suddenly rang out, and he subconsciously touched the pistol on his body.

But he forgot one thing.

That is to be himself, for the sake of convenience, he didn't put the pistol on his waist. He didn't have the habit of hanging the holster, but put the pistol in the system backpack.

Hearing the system prompt that it would take ten seconds to take out the pistol from his backpack, Huang Zixing felt a burst of despair.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand to push the zombie in front of him. At this time, the zombie had already crawled on his body and pressed towards his upper body.

If you want to survive, you must survive the ten seconds in front of you.
But at this moment, these ten seconds are enough to kill.

Huang Zixing pushed and pushed hard, but unfortunately it backfired, his strength was not as strong as the zombies.

In particular, he just woke up from the extreme excitement of taking drugs, his whole body was weak, and even the movement of raising his hand was in vain.

The two sides were in a stalemate for only a few seconds, and Huang Zixing lost his strength and fell into a disadvantage.

He looked in front of him in panic, the zombie had already opened its mouth.

But the pistol still takes a second to take out, it's too late!

In desperation, the zombie bit Huang Zixing's wrist. There was no protection from stab-proof clothing here, and the zombie bit him right away.

With blood and flesh, a large wound appeared on the latter's wrist.

Feeling the pain and looking at the bleeding wound, Huang Zixing felt like falling into an ice valley.

The excitement brought about by inhalation has almost faded, and now Huang Zixing is in a state of extreme panic.

At this moment, when he was bitten by a zombie, two system prompts sounded.
"Warning. Infected by a mutated virus, it is irreversible, and the remaining time is 1 hour and 59 minutes.
"item removed"

The next moment, the pistol appeared in Huang Zixing's hand, but unfortunately, it was too late.

But for some reason, Huang Zixing, who was originally cowardly, did not give up at this moment.

Knowing that it was too late, he gritted his teeth fiercely, raised his pistol with all his strength, and directly inserted the muzzle of the gun into the zombie's mouth.

"boom--"

A dull and unobtrusive gunshot sounded in the warehouse, directly penetrating the zombie's head, causing a flower of blood to burst out from the back of its head.

The zombies stopped attacking and fell to the side.

And with the sound of falling to the ground, Huang Zixing's frightened face suddenly twisted into a crazy smile!

"Hahahaha!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"I killed it! It was me, I killed it."

Huang Zixing seemed to be going crazy, he laughed out loud, but he was gradually out of breath, and his body twitched.

Soon, the maniacal laughter disappeared, replaced by despair and wailing.

Because Huang Zixing understood that the zombie virus had infected him, and the system had already reminded him.

So, he has no way out now, absolutely nothing!
He really wants to prove himself, and really wants others to value him instead of looking down on him.

But now there's no chance, no more chance
I've worked so hard, it's all useless.
"I have to die..."

"I want you to die!"

Thinking of this, Huang Zixing's expression began to twist a little, as if there was a fire in his heart, and he had nowhere to vent it.

Others know nothing about the things in the remote warehouse.

At this time, Liu Ziyun and Tang Jiumin had already arrived at their destination.

Waterworks on the outskirts of the city.

As soon as they approached, the two noticed that it was unusually quiet nearby, so they didn't enter the water plant rashly, but hid in the distance and sent micro-robots to investigate.

As a result, the pictures sent back by the tiny robots surprised them very much.

Because there are zombie corpses everywhere around the waterworks, it turns out that there are no zombies in the suburbs, but most of them are concentrated in the waterworks.

This place seems to be a restricted area of ​​life.

No matter what kind of creature, as long as it enters this range, it will die on the spot.

The two stood on the top of a nearby rock and looked at the waterworks from a distance.

He found that in the direction of the waterworks facing the city, there were zombie corpses all over the ground, as neat as a circular planning line, as if they had been placed artificially.

Tang Jiumin looked at the entire "circle" with his eyes wide open. This look allowed him to discover more details.

The zombies died very neatly, all within the radius of that side, and their death conditions were particularly miserable.Regardless of the mutated zombies or the unmutated zombies, their heads were forcefully pried open and they died suddenly on the spot.

The scene in front of them made the two feel bone-chillingly cold.

Because this is enough to show that the restricted area of ​​the waterworks is so powerful that even the zombies raging in the city cannot resist, let alone them?
Liu Ziyun gasped silently, turned to look at Tang Jiumin, ready to ask the other party's next move.

As a result, he saw Tang Jiumin raised his head with a serious expression.

what happened?
Following the gaze of the other party, Liu Ziyun raised his head subconsciously and looked at the sky.

Unknowingly, it was already noon, and even though the cities and suburbs were attacked by the horrific zombie virus, nature was not affected in any way.

The sky was clear and cloudless.

Flocks of sparrows are flying out from the center of the waterworks, and these are not ordinary sparrows, but mutated sparrows that have inflated several times.

Accompanied by piercing calls, this group of mutated sparrows circled continuously in midair.

Tang Jiumin and Liu Ziyun couldn't help but look at each other.

At this time, the mystery of the round zombie corpses on the ground was finally solved!

Because in the oblique direction of the two of them, and far away on the opposite side, some mutilated zombies were slowly approaching the water plant.

It's a pity that they had just reached the edge of the circle when they were swooped down by the mutated sparrow in mid-air and pierced their heads.

The mutant sparrow's attack is too fast!
Several zombies fell almost at the same time. They died in the same way as the other corpses before, even where they fell.

This is the answer to the mystery of the circular corpse array!

Liu Ziyun looked at it, and was about to move forward, but was pulled back by Tang Jiumin.

Tang Jiumin gestured with his eyes to make Liu Ziyun look in another direction.

Because in this short period of 1 minute, two more zombies rushed over from a distance. They were not like the disabled zombies who lacked arms and short legs just now, but went crazy and rushed straight to the waterworks.

In mid-air, the mutated sparrow screamed at the two zombies below.Then, he swooped down madly towards the two zombies!

Among them, the unmutated zombie was headshot on the spot.

The other one is a muscular zombie. Its defense is much better than that of the flopping zombie. The mutant sparrow's first round of attacks did not break through the defense at all.

So, the muscular zombie completely ignored the attack of the mutated sparrow and continued to move forward.

However, facing the mutated sparrow, the round that the muscular zombie withstood was just an appetizer.

Because when a round of attack failed, those sparrows uttered a sharper cry, and there were ten times, twenty times more mutant sparrows than before, like bullets, shooting straight away.

No matter how high the defense is, it is flesh and blood after all, and it will eventually fall in the face of numbers.

First, he was caught out of the wound, and then his flesh and blood were broken.
As a muscular zombie, compared to other zombies, it only lasted more than ten seconds before being pecked into rotten flesh!

Soon, the muscular zombie whose head had been pecked through lost its strength and fell to the ground, no longer moving.

There are two zombies in front and one behind. They also fell on the edge of the circle, but the second one is closer to the inside.

Think about it carefully, because the mutated sparrow is so fast, it only takes that little time from the start of the attack to the end of the attack.

Liu Ziyun and Tang Jiumin looked at all this with serious expressions. Neither of them were fools, let alone blind, and they had already seen some clues.

The first batch of disabled zombies just now seemed to be walking slowly, but that was not the case.

In fact, as they approached the waterworks, they kept waving their hands and feet, looking very excited, and it seemed that they were attracted by some kind of existence over there.

Ever since Tang Jiumin and the others came to the outskirts of the city, they found that there were very few zombies in this area, but logically speaking, the zombies should be concentrated in industrial areas and other places where people gather.

Who would have thought that they came to the waterworks in droves.

It seems that there is something in the waterworks that makes them abandon the nearby humans and run to such a far place instead.

At this time, Tang Jiumin's eyes flickered slightly, and he took another look at the ordinary zombie that fell down just now.

A dusty but intact lady's brand-name clothing, this is the latest flagship model just launched on a commercial street they passed by before.

Although Tang Jiumin was not interested in clothing and the like, he had a particularly good memory. He only passed by once and remembered the clothing that was advertised in a banner.

If he judged correctly, it was a zombie coming out of the city, because its costume said everything.

Even some zombies in the city ran out of the city and headed straight for here?

This is really interesting.

What is there on earth that makes the zombies forget their lives and keep going forward?

Moreover, this waterworks is protected by mutated sparrows, preventing any zombies from approaching...

What's the secret inside?
Seeing this, the two secretly observing were a little tangled, and they looked at each other.

Liu Ziyun hesitated and said, "Why don't you go and check?"

Tang Jiumin shook his head.

"Then what to do?" If you don't go in, you can't know what's going on inside.

But they are still more than 300 meters away from that side. If they just go in so rashly, who knows if they will end up with those zombies.

Tang Jiumin also lowered his voice, "Wait a minute, I'll let the robot go to explore the way first."

Hearing this, Liu Ziyun couldn't help but look over there. At this time, the robot was approaching the waterworks. Because it was in a camouflaged posture, even he couldn't detect it.

But at this moment, the accident happened.

Because in the past, the robot, which was invincible in scouting, was targeted by the mutated sparrow hovering in the air shortly after entering.

In the air, pairs of scarlet eyes looked at the rapidly moving tiny robot.

Tang Jiumin's eyebrows twitched fiercely, and he immediately controlled the tiny robot to move faster.

But, not long after, three or four mutated sparrows approached the tiny robot.

Tang Jiumin skillfully controls the micro-robot, dodging left and right.

It's a pity that it didn't have any effect, because these mutated sparrows were too fast, and directly knocked the tiny robot out.

The next second, the flames flickered, which also meant that the investigation failed.

"Tang Jiumin, I don't want to hit you." Liu Ziyun frowned tightly seeing the failure of the tiny robot.

"But if even microrobots are found, then we won't be able to get in."

"Do you want to forget?"

"In this trial, we have obtained enough things. Is it enough to pass the last period of time safely?"

"Tang Jiumin, what do you think?"

Tang Jiumin shook his head.

"There is an old saying that if something goes wrong, there must be a demon. I feel that there is a big secret hidden here. If we can solve this mystery, I think we can gain more and become stronger."

"No matter how strong you are, you have to die." Regarding Tang Jiumin's opinion, Liu Ziyun obviously disagreed: "You have also seen the fate of those zombies and robots, and we can't do it."

"You're right." Tang Jiumin said helplessly, frowning, "It's really impossible to rely on the two of us now. Maybe... we still need to wait for a suitable time."

Liu Ziyun shook his head, and persuaded the other party to give up this unrealistic idea, "There is no need to talk about timing, I think we should go back first!"

"I know you want to solve all the mysteries, but survival is the most important thing. It's not safe here. It's not worth taking such a big risk. It's not worth it at all."

The two exchanged in a low voice for a short time, but the sound stopped abruptly.At this time, Tang Jiumin kept staring at the waterworks, as if he wanted to see something.

It was quiet for a while.

In the end, Tang Jiumin nodded slowly, "Let's go, you are right."

Tang Jiumin is an adventurous person in his heart, but he is not a person without a brain. He also does not intend to get to the bottom of it when there is no other way.

The two packed their things and prepared to return to the food processing factory.

But the moment he turned around, Tang Jiumin seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the waterworks.

I saw that over the entire waterworks, black sparrows gathered in large groups, constantly circling and flying.The birds who obviously don't have a leader seem to have a conductor guiding their flight trajectories.

Tang Jiumin paused, and suddenly the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

At the same time, unlike the water plant, the food processing plant, except for the movement at the gate, the entire factory area is in a dark and quiet state at the moment.

And in the remote warehouse where Huang Zixing was located, several needles stained with blood and light yellow liquid appeared on the ground.
