Chapter 212 is a little bit abnormal.
While Shousui was still thinking about eating dog food from the two system big brothers, who would have thought that the two systems who were hugging and cuddling each other in the back seat in the last second, disappeared when he looked again in the next second?
He rubbed his eyes as if he had seen it wrongly and glanced through the rearview mirror several times again, but he still didn't see Xuan Sang and Tian Qing. Even the sound of their voices disappeared, as if they had disappeared into thin air. Shou Sui turned around and looked back, but the back seat was still empty. He reached out again, but touched an invisible wall.
Shousui understood, and couldn't help but teasingly ask Xuansang through telepathic transmission, "I said, you guys are hiding, aren't you doing anything bad?"
"You're having quite a lot of fun, you even know about car sex?"
Just as Shousui finished his words, the seat he was leaning against was violently kicked by the person behind him, accompanied by Xuan Sang's curse, "I'm gonna shake your sister!"
Shousui was kicked so hard that his entire upper body jumped forward for a distance, and then was bounced back into the seat by the seat belt tied diagonally across his chest. If he hadn't fastened his seat belt when he first got in the car, Xuan Sang's kick would have been so powerful that he would have been kicked against the front windshield and turned into a windshield wiper.
He Ci, who was concentrating on driving, was startled and his hands on the steering wheel trembled. He turned his head and glanced at Shou Sui in surprise. He glanced at Xuan Sang behind him and then at Shou Sui. His puzzled eyes seemed to ask Shou Sui: "What's going on? How did you provoke him?"
Shousui was also startled by the kick and the shout from behind, and he immediately fell silent. Seeing He Ci's inquiring look, Shousui blinked at him and pursed his lips into a line, as if he was trying to shut his mouth with a zipper in order to save his life.
Just when Xuan Sang moved from Tian Qing's legs to the seat beside him, he heard what Shou Sui said to him. Although he had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs run. Naturally, Xuan Sang had heard of words like "car sex".
After hearing Shousui's YY about him and Tianqing, and his nasty smile, Xuansang's hot temper was easily ignited, and he got furious on the spot. After removing the barrier barrier that Tianqing had casually cast earlier, Xuansang kicked Shousui in front of him.
Tianqing, who was standing by, saw him suddenly get angry. He glanced at Shousui in front of him in surprise. Then he held Xuansang's hand in a soothing manner and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"
After Xuan Sang kicked him, he realized that Tian Qing was still beside him. He replied to the man in a slow tone, "No, I was just scolding my son. Who told him to be so outspoken!"
Shousui rolled his eyes speechlessly when he heard this. He couldn't help but look at Xuan Sang in the rearview mirror. He muttered, "I was just joking, why are you so angry?"
He Ci and Tian Qing, who were standing nearby, were quite confused and had no idea what the two were arguing about.
"Hmph!" Xuan Sang glared at Shousui warningly, snorted unhappily, and turned his head away arrogantly, as if he didn't want to pay any more attention to him.
Since K City is not far from Z City, they traveled smoothly along the way, with almost no major obstacles except for some third-level zombies they encountered from time to time. Shousui and his companions arrived at Z City in the evening. As it was getting late, they found a place to stay nearby and rested for the night before continuing their journey to the city early the next morning.
When the people who were keeping watch drove closer to the city, they discovered that the once prosperous City Z had long since turned into dilapidated ruins, just like many cities they had seen before.
Those magnificent skyscrapers were either razed to the ground by artillery fire or bombed to pieces, leaving only broken tiles and ruins. The collapsed roads were filled with abandoned vehicles and rubble, and a pile of bones could be seen every hundred steps, and the body was still incomplete.
The car of the people who were keeping watch only reached the edge of the city before they were blocked by various abandoned vehicles and other obstacles on the road and could not move forward an inch.
The few of them had no choice but to get off the car and continue walking towards the city.
As soon as I got off the car, a cold wind blew in my face, bringing with it a smell of death and decay.
Shousui sneezed loudly in the biting cold wind of December, rubbed his nose, and looked around.
This place was so run-down that it didn't look like a safe base at all. He couldn't help but feel very confused and questioned. Given this situation, was the headquarters of the Gene Research Institute in City Z still there? Could it have been occupied long ago?
As soon as he arrived here to stay until the New Year, the only smell he smelled in the air was the smell of death, which undoubtedly made him suspicious.
Shouchen, who got off the car in front, seemed to have felt that this place should be the territory of other zombie kings. The little boy frowned and ran to Shousui with a vague feeling of uneasiness.
Shousui patted Shouchen's head soothingly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Xiao Hei on the roof of the car also jumped down and strolled around. It pouting its nose, sniffing left and right, and observing its surroundings with a pair of big eyes alertly.
He Ci walked around from the front of the car to Shousui's side and saw that he was only wearing a long-sleeved sweatshirt and casual pants. His clothes were so thin that he sneezed when the wind blew. He couldn't help but take off his coat and wrap it around Shousui.
"It's winter and you're still wearing so little. Don't catch a cold." He Ci said as he took out another coat from the system space and put it on.
The windbreaker loosely draped over his shoulders still retained He Ci's slightly warm body temperature. Shousui glanced at the man, happily pulled his hands out of his sleeves, and happily put on the jacket, which still retained He Ci's pleasant orchid-scented fragrance.
The two system big brothers had already returned to the spiritual space and did not come out to join in the fun.
As soon as Chi Yu got off the car with his backpack, Mo Yuankai held his hand. He subconsciously pulled back and looked up at the man. Chi Yu muttered, "What are you doing? Can you stop being so annoying?"
As he was speaking, Chi Yu turned his head guiltily to look behind him, then looked at the car and the surrounding environment. When he saw that no one paid attention to the details of him and Mo Yuankai, Chi Yu seemed to be slightly relieved.
Hearing Chi Yu's slightly dissatisfied words, Mo Yuankai not only did not let go, but tightened his grip a little more when Chi Yu wanted to pull back her hand. The man looked around with a serious expression, "Follow me closely, don't walk around, it's not safe here."
As soon as his feet touched the land of City Z, Mo Yuankai felt vaguely uneasy, but he couldn't detect where the danger was. He had no choice but to tie Chi Yu to his side and watch him closely before he felt at ease.
Yifeng didn't know the real purpose of Heci's visit. As soon as he got off the car, he walked towards the Shousui in the back. The boy frowned and said, "What are we going to do next? This place is so strange, so empty and quiet that it's a bit abnormal."
Along the way, they encountered quite a few third and fourth level zombies and one or two less dangerous corpse beasts. After finally arriving in City Z, there was not even a trace of a zombie. This was obviously different from the news from the outside world that City Z was full of zombies and alien corpse beasts.
Shousui looked up at Yifeng and replied, "Go find someone. No, that person is not a person anymore. He may have turned into a zombie king. I heard that the security base in City Z was established by the headquarters of the Gene Lock Research Company. We have to be careful and not alarm them. After all, anyone or anything with the term 'Gene Lock Company' is not a good thing."
Shousui doesn't want to confront the people from Gene Lock Company head-on for the time being. His top priority now is to find out whether the man named Zuo Xiao is the key to ending this zombie virus.
According to the information they stole from Amber, ever since the R virus hidden in Zuo Xiao's body mutated for the second time, he has been out of the control of Amber's people. Even now, even Amber and her friends are not sure whether Zuo Xiao has become the Zombie King or a 'mutator'. They only know that after escaping control, Zuo Xiao has been lingering in City Z.
There are not many clues about Zuo Xiao, but it is enough to know that Zuo Xiao is in City Z. As for the rest, Shousui feels that he can find out everything as long as he finds the other party.
"Looking for the Zombie King?" Yi Feng was surprised. He glanced at the little boy next to Shou Sui and asked, "Is it Shou Chen?"
Shousui also glanced at Shouchen, "They should be about the same, but the opponent's level may be higher than Shouchen."
Otherwise, Shouchen would not have felt uneasy when he arrived here and ran to his side, tightly grasping the corner of his clothes and refusing to let go. They rashly broke into the territory of other zombie kings, which was an act of aggression and provocation in the zombie system. If they were not strong enough, if the other party was really a zombie king, then this trip was undoubtedly to die.
"Okay, then I'll help you capture all the zombie kings." Yifeng thought Shousui was collecting zombie kings like Shouchen in order to subdue them and make them his younger brothers, so he promised as if he couldn't wait to help Shousui expand his "harem", oh no, to expand his power.
Shousui looked at Yifeng who was suddenly full of fighting spirit, and knew that the other party might have misunderstood his real purpose of looking for Zuo Xiao. He was too lazy to explain, but just grinned at the boy with a smile that showed he was very happy that Yifeng could help.
"Let's go. We have to hurry to look for it." He Ci threw his backpack onto his back and walked past the two of them towards the city.
Shousui followed closely behind. The others didn't say anything more and just hurried to catch up.
A group of people walked on the streets full of broken glass and gravel, occasionally pointing at the surrounding scenery and talking to others with sighs or expressions of surprise. As they went deeper into the center of the city, Heci and Shousui, who were walking in front, felt that something was wrong.
It was clearly a zombie city, and Shousui could sense the presence of zombies in the magnetic field. But they had been walking for more than two hours and still hadn't seen a single zombie, which was not normal at all.
Just as they arrived at an empty square, He Ci and Shou Sui suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Chi Yu, who was behind, saw the two of them stop at the same time, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Something's going on," Shousui turned around with a serious look and reminded his companions, "Hurry up and get ready for battle at any time."
"Be careful." He Ci also warned them with a serious face.
Almost as soon as the words fell, a large group of zombies poured out from the surrounding buildings and underground parking lots. In a moment, they filled all the streets and surrounded them.
He Ci and Yi Feng both showed their weapons, and Chi Yu also loaded his gun. Mo Yuankai and Shou Chen consciously stepped forward to block Chi Yu's left and right sides and protected him behind them.
Shousui couldn't help but frown when he saw the third and fourth level zombies pouring out from all directions, followed by a group of mutant zombies with blue-green bodies that he had never seen before.
No wonder there wasn't a single zombie when they first arrived, but all of them appeared once they went deeper into the city.
As Shousui was thinking, he saw Heci beside him finish his analysis and say, "These zombies are very smart. When we first arrived, they hid and didn't come out, creating an illusion that there was no danger here. Once we went deeper, they gradually appeared and surrounded us, making us attacked from both sides. There must be a zombie king behind them commanding them."
"Indeed!" Shousui turned his head and looked at the man. Is this the tacit understanding between partners? He actually thought the same as him.
"Although they have used their numbers and local advantages to surround us, we must capture the leader first." Seeing that they were narrowing the encirclement, He Ci calmly thought about countermeasures and asked Shou Sui, "Do you have a way to find their corpse leader? Find it and I will deal with it."
"Of course." Shousui replied, "Let me take a look first."
If Zuo Xiao is really still in City Z, then the zombie king here is most likely him.
After saying that, Shousui quickly scanned the zombies and began searching everywhere. Now that he had been promoted to the sixth-rank zombie king, he could sense the energy fluctuations of other zombie kings in the same area.
But at this moment, the zombies that were running towards them all stopped.
While everyone was wondering, Shousui's eyes passed through the group of zombies and fixed on a mutant zombie beast standing high in front of them, overlooking them.
The mutant corpse beast was the largest of all the mutant corpse beasts gathered in this scene. It was about three meters long and eight feet tall. Its two front legs were longer than its hind legs, and its leg muscles were strong. This mutant corpse beast had a blue-green gradient skin color, a pair of eyes emitting a faint green light, and two horns on its head, connected by a thin skin film. The dark hair on its back extended all the way to its tail, which was short and thick.
At this moment, the mutant corpse beast was baring its ferocious fangs, staring down at them from above, with a kingly aura lingering around it that was unique to a ferocious beast.
What's going on? Shousui frowned. How could the corpse king here be a mutant corpse beast?
Mutant corpse beasts and zombies are not of the same species at all. No matter how advanced they are or how powerful they are, they can never evolve into zombie kings to rule over the zombies. But now, he did feel the energy fluctuations from the zombie king level on the mutant corpse beast, which made Shousui feel very puzzled.
No, there must be something wrong. Shousui pondered, rejecting the idea repeatedly in his heart.
