Chapter 156 Mushroom: I Eat Zombies with Salt
"The situation has changed; we request that headquarters send reinforcements immediately..."
"what happened?"
"There was a sudden loud rumbling sound in Gong County last night. The people who went to investigate found that the area had collapsed."
"Didn't we send people to plant explosives? It's normal."
“Our explosives weren’t enough to destroy the entire surface of Gong County, and I asked the eyewitnesses there. They said that at first there was only a small-scale ground tremor, but it got bigger and bigger until the entire county was gone…”
"No one from the mercenary group survived. We need to start a search and rescue operation as soon as possible."
Gong County is not too far from the base; it only takes an hour to drive there. This is why Zhongyu Base targeted Gong County as the second target after recovering.
There are no survivors in Gong County, only zombies. If the zombies inside riot, it could endanger the personnel at the base.
Following a decision by the Zhongyu Base headquarters, troops were quickly dispatched to Gong County to carry out a rescue operation. Ostensibly, it was a rescue operation, but in reality, it was to investigate the cause of the disaster, whether it would affect the base, and whether any zombies inside had escaped.
In fact, none of the zombies in Gong County survived; they all fell into the underground cave.
Meng Xiaoyou also encountered one.
After a night of reflection, Meng Xiaoyou did not give up. She had injured her ankle when she fell, but she didn't have time to check it. Dragging her burning ankle, she limped to a road to investigate and found that the ground underneath had been hollowed out, forming a network of tunnels.
The tunnel is sustained by the root system of trees, so it won't be completely peaceful for the time being.
Mushroom was carrying the little zombie, but couldn't carry Pei Sinian on her back. She was afraid that if she went out to explore, something might happen to Pei Sinian, who was so big, so she didn't dare to go far.
Even so, a zombie that had accidentally wandered over there managed to take advantage of the situation and break in.
It was a very ordinary level three zombie, with one arm missing, a large hole smashed in its head, and mostly white in its empty eyes. Its gray pupils, the size of soybeans, rolled inward, giving it a cross-eyed, intelligent look.
Meng Xiaoyou carried the unconscious little zombie back. With the last, weak light from the flashlight, she could barely see it circling around Pei Sinian. It didn't attack, but just stared at Pei Sinian with that strange pigeon-toed posture.
Startled, she dropped the flashlight, which rolled around once and ended up in a corner.
"what are you doing?"
This zombie was of low level and obviously couldn't understand human speech. It smelled the human scent, looked over greedily, and had a very intelligent look in its eyes, with drool dripping from its mouth.
Meng Xiaoyou felt a chill run down her spine after not seeing such an uncivilized zombie in a long time. However, it was very close to Pei Sinian, and she was afraid that the zombie would harm him, so she could only endure its extremely dangerous appearance and approach it.
In fact, even without Meng Xiaoyou getting close, the zombies couldn't resist the scent of a human that smelled better than any other human.
It strode forward with a gait even more ruthless than a lame zombie, lunging like a giant toad, until Meng Xiaoyou gave it a bubble. Its body shuddered, it let out a dry, low growl, spun around in place, and realized its condition.
【Aba aba? I'm not human?】
Meng Xiaoyou: "???"
[Slurp~]
The zombie, having regained some consciousness, slurped its saliva, looked around blankly, and met Meng Xiaoyou's indescribable gaze.
At this moment, Mushroom finally realized the importance of water-based abilities. She really wanted to grab Pei Sinian and wash this dirty zombie clean.
She took a deep breath. "Do you know where this is?"
The zombie growled, and with each growl, spittle flew out. Meng Xiaoyou quickly covered Pei Sinian's body with bubbles, her face flushed with anger: "You're not allowed to speak, just think about it."
What an rude zombie! What should we do if he spits on Pei Sinian?
Pei Sinian is extremely clean, and making him lie on the ground was already pushing his limits. If he were to spit on it again... the scene would be a bit dirty. Mushroom felt uncomfortable all over, as if countless ants were crawling on his body.
This zombie wasn't too bad; it was quite obedient. After Meng Xiaoyou finished speaking, it immediately fell silent, its thoughts a jumbled mess, one after another, reaching Meng Xiaoyou's mind.
[Underground... are there... monsters that eat zombies?]
The intelligent zombie regained consciousness, but not completely, and its thoughts were jumbled up. Fortunately, Meng Xiaoyou was a clever mushroom, and she suddenly realized: "You zombies also fell underground and encountered a monster that eats zombies?"
The zombie stared wide-eyed with a serious expression.
How...did you know?
This human is amazing! It knew everything before it even said anything?
Also, why can its eyes see?
The zombie was certain that it hadn't been able to see before...
And it was precisely because they could see that the zombies discovered that this seemingly weak woman was actually holding one of their own kind in her arms.
Sensing the aura slightly, it hissed. Although small, it was already at the sixth level, and it was lying quietly in this woman's arms. Could it have been subdued?
Meng Xiaoyou heard everything the zombie was thinking. She didn't expect that this zombie, who looked "smart," also had a "smart" thought process.
In short, they're very easy to fool!
Mushroom, seized by a wicked impulse, suddenly adopted the villainous expression he had practiced beforehand and whispered to the zombie mushroom, "That's right, this zombie is now my defeated foe. Will you stay and become my prisoner of war, or will I just choke you out?"
Zombie: "???"
[How terrifying are these humans! They actually know what I'm thinking. They're even more terrifying than that monster. Sixth-tier? A zombie... has it been subdued?]
It was shocked and put its finger in its mouth.
Meng Xiaoyou threatened, "I'll eat zombies without salt!"
Zombie: "!!!"
How brutal!!
From his remaining human memories, he gleaned the following sentence: "Don't judge a book by its cover."
Furthermore, the more beautiful and harmless something looks, the more toxic it is!
This human is toxic!
The zombie was so frightened it almost bit off its finger, but little did it know that its performance successfully gave the mushroom, who was initially unsure whether it was scary enough, confidence.
She mentally shook the umbrella, bubbling with delight, and raised her chin at the big silly... big smart zombie, "You're under my control now. I can know all your thoughts. If you don't want to get your head blown off, listen to me. I'll ask you a question, and you answer it in your mind."
The silly zombie nodded repeatedly.
Throughout the entire conversation, the little fool was trying to trick the big idiot, a fellow zombie: "..."
Humans may be foolish, but their fellow humans are no less so.
"I'm asking you, have you ever met any other humans?"
Since Meng Xiaoyou fell in here, she hasn't seen anyone other than them. She can't find anyone else and doesn't dare to go far, so she can only try to get some useful information from this zombie.
