In front of the passage, the chaotic voices gradually became louder, and the unique rancid smell of living corpses in the air became more intense. Turning a corner, you can see a train leaning over there, blocking most of the entire passage. The subway car has long been corroded and corroded, the body is open, and the windows are shattered.
Through the car window, you can see two living corpses in the outermost compartment, looking around for something to eat.
William observed the surroundings for a while, moved silently, picked up a few pieces of rusted iron and a thin iron wire, quietly retreated back to the passage, pulled the thin iron wire horizontally in the center of the passage, and placed the iron sheet on the ground , and then picked up a piece of iron, rolled it into a cone, and sneaked towards the train.
Ding!
William tapped lightly on the wall of the carriage. The knocking sound was not loud, but to the keen hearing of the living corpse, any sound that was not in harmony with the surrounding environment was like thunder. The two living corpses immediately stopped searching for food and turned around together, just in time to see a figure disappearing outside the car window. In the eyes of the living corpse, where only animal instinct remains, anything that moves is delicious prey.
Accompanied by bursts of roars, the living corpse rushed to the end of the carriage with an agility not inferior to that of a hunting dog. The living corpse in front leaped up, smashing its head against the broken car window, half of its body squeezed out of the car window abruptly. out. As soon as the head sticks out of the car window, the living corpse can't wait to look around, trying to find the trace of the prey.
With a soft plop, the conical sharp iron sheet pierced from below, easily penetrated its throat, and even cut most of the neck bone!
William stood up slowly, ignoring the living corpses who tried in vain to pull out the sharp iron awl, and walked straight to the passage.
Another living corpse blocked in the carriage had already lost patience. It roared, grabbed the leg of the living corpse in front, and pulled it back into the carriage. The sharp glass on the window frame cut seven or eight deep wounds on the body of the previous living corpse, and the black and red blood mixed with the internal organs flowed down. But the two living corpses didn't care. The living corpse with its throat pierced was approaching the end of its life, and another living corpse hurriedly squeezed out of the car window, just in time to see William's back disappearing from the corner.
The living corpse straightened its neck, roared fiercely, and then exerted its strength suddenly. Its hard feet with long claws stepped on the ground fiercely, and rushed across the corner of the passage like a gust of wind!
The living corpse, which was almost flying, suddenly flew off the ground! It swung back and forth a few times in the air before falling heavily from the wire. As soon as it landed, it immediately roared in pain again! On the ground, several iron pieces with upward sharp corners had pierced deeply into its back, while the front chest was almost cut in half by the iron wire lying in midair.
With a crisp click, William released the safety of the pistol. He walked past the living corpses that had fallen into unconscious struggle on the ground, and didn't pay any attention to them at all. He slightly raised his head and glanced above, then jumped lightly, and his whole body lightly rose to a height of more than two meters, and he had already boarded the roof of the abandoned train.
A cold light suddenly flashed in William's blue eyes, and he exerted his strength suddenly, running along the train like lightning at a speed far exceeding that of a living corpse! Even at such a fast speed, he barely made a sound. Looking from behind, it seemed like a cloud of black mist slowly drifting away.
boom! boom! Two thunderous gunshots broke the silence of the subway passage. In the train carriage, two living corpses were shot above their heads, and the bullet's huge force almost knocked their entire heads off!
Bang bang bang! Four more gunshots sounded almost in succession, and William had already reached the end of the train. Without stopping for a moment, he jumped directly from the roof of the car, and there were several light clicks in the air. When William stepped on the ground again, the pistol had been reloaded.
With force under his feet, his speed increased by three points, and the ten-meter-long passage passed in an instant. William seemed to turn into a gust of wind, brushing past four living corpses rushing in the passage!
William suddenly stood still, his body turned around extremely stiffly, and he shot three times with his backhand!
The three living corpses were shot down. And another living corpse turned around in time, roaring and rushing towards William!
William looked at the living corpse peacefully, without moving. The living corpse only rushed forward a few meters before falling headlong.
At some point, William's right hand was holding a tungsten steel dagger that was painted black to hide the reflection. The moment he passed by just now, it was this dagger that completely cut open the side ribs of the living corpse.
William turned around and looked at where the four living corpses came from. At the end of the passage, two more living corpses appeared, and the strange thing was that these two living corpses were carrying the corpse of an adult vicious gopher together. From their red eyes and drooling mouths, William could tell that they were hungry. However, they do not have hands-on food. This is completely inconsistent with William's cognition. Living corpses have always been living creatures whose sole purpose of survival is to satisfy their appetite. They don't know what restraint is at all. If they are given enough food, they will probably eat until they die . Not only these two living corpses, judging from the shriveled stomachs of the four living corpses that just ran over, they were also suffering from hunger.
How could the living corpse not eat the food in his mouth?
bang bang bang! William put down the pistol that was still smoking from the muzzle, and walked towards the two living corpses that could no longer stand up. This time he missed one shot, and the shot aimed at the forehead hit the chest instead, so he had to make another shot. At a distance of more than ten meters, the accuracy of the modified pistol became a big problem, but this time his good luck didn't play a big role, and he couldn't solve the problem with one shot.
A living corpse still made of flesh and blood was no match for gunpowder and metal. At such a short distance, no matter where it was hit, a large hole more than 20 centimeters in thickness would appear on the living corpse.
Amidst the clicking sound, William first filled the magazine of the pistol with bullets, and then walked through the living corpses, observing them carefully. Living corpses are creatures with amazing vitality. Even if most of their bodies are blown to pieces, they don't know if they can still jump up and bite people.
The two living corpses carrying the vicious gopher were obviously much thinner than the previous four living corpses, and according to William, who had dealt with many living corpses, these two living corpses were already old and belonged to the A stage in which you are able to move, but your strength has begun to decline significantly. And what made William Bi's pupils shrunk was that the clothes on the front four living corpses were obviously more and stronger than those on the last two. As for the four living corpses, there was not much difference.
Everything is clear. The four living corpses walking in front are dedicated to hunting and fighting, while the two elderly living corpses behind are responsible for carrying and other miscellaneous tasks. This is a very well-organized division of labor system. The stronger zombies that can fight get more food and wear better clothes. The old living corpses have to do chores, and they don't get enough food. More importantly, these living corpses are no longer completely driven by instinct, and have begun to know how to control them!
This shows that these living corpses have formed a group with a clear division of labor and distinct classes, completely different from the living corpses William shot and killed in the abandoned train. William encounters a hunting party.

"I hate smart things." William thought silently, standing up straight.
These living corpses reminded him of the wolf in the valley involuntarily. At the moment before he died, the wolf's eyes mixed with astonishment, doubt, anger and curse were still engraved in his heart. These living corpses have clearly formed a clear division of labor, which is completely different from the chaotic primary organization of the carrion wolf. Among the living corpses, there must be a leader with wisdom. For William, this is by no means a good thing. In the underground passage, the living corpse is already a difficult monster to deal with, and the danger level of the organized living corpse is multiplied.
Whether in turbulent times or in old times, there is no free lunch. The cost of killing a nest of organized living corpses has far exceeded that of a basic genetic evolution medicine. There are six living corpses in a hunting team, so the number of living corpses in this nest is likely to have exceeded 30. Killing so many living corpses is enough to get an evolution point.
Maybe the N11 base already knew that there were intelligent living corpses moving in this passage, so they paid such a high price to ask themselves to clean the passage. William thought of the sincere smiles of Turner and Tony, and a small shadow passed in his heart. But then he put the matter aside. After walking through too many colonies, William had learned not to expect anything.
William looked at the deep passage, his blue eyes penetrated the endless darkness, searching for traces of living corpses. He is now a hunter first, and needs to complete the task before talking about other things.
At the end of the passage, it was almost completely dark, and even William's low-light vision could only see five or six meters away. Lighting in such an environment would be almost suicidal, which he certainly wouldn't do.
William exhaled lightly, and a cloud of water mist leaked out from under the bandage. He gently pulled the bandage off his face a little, revealing a straight nose tip like a sculpture, and the exposed skin was as smooth as ivory. In the dark passage, the unique rotten smell of living corpses permeates everywhere. The stench in this passage is particularly strong, and it is obviously an area where living corpses often move. If it is an ordinary person, it is impossible to move in an area with such a deep stench. This is also a way for the living corpses to divide their territory.
He distinguished the breath at the end of his nose, and hundreds of data flowed down like water in William's consciousness, finally locking on the smell of the six living corpses lying on the ground.
William wrapped his cloak tightly, like a ghost, walking silently into the depths of the passage. The smell of the six living corpses was like a trail of clues, gradually leading William to their lair. Judging from the strength of the smell, these living corpses have been hunting for at least two days.
The passage is rugged, and some parts inside seem to have been intentionally filled with empty soda cans. These crude traps couldn't help William at all, but they slowed down his actions.
William suddenly rushed two steps, then jumped up, and stuck to the corner of the wall and ceiling, and then swam forward silently like a gecko.
Rounding a corner, William jumped down lightly, and landed silently behind a living corpse squatting in the corner. The living corpse held an iron pipe in its hand, its eyes glowed dim red, and it was staring at the deep passage.
William reached out and patted it on the shoulder lightly.
Roar! With a low growl in the throat of the living corpse, it suddenly turned its head! However, before it could react, the sharp sawtooth of the dagger in William's right hand cut its throat, and the force was so strong that it almost cut off the entire neck.
William leaned over and gently placed the living corpse on the ground. From the touch of his fingertips, he could feel that the muscles of this living corpse were stronger and tougher than the living corpses he had encountered before, and the sharp point of the iron pipe was carefully polished. It seems that this is a sentry, the only thing that can make people happy is that the living corpses don't understand that there should be two sentries.
William looked at the end of the passage, where there was a half-built sand barrier, but fortunately, there were no living corpses guarding it. Behind the sand barrier was a large room, with flickering fires shining through the half-closed door. From time to time, there were low-pitched or high-pitched roars from the living corpses.
This kind of mutated creature that has just acquired intelligence often has a leader whose intelligence and strength far exceed those of the same kind. The best way to deal with them is to kill the leader in one fell swoop. The rest of the living corpses are far less intelligent and will naturally become a mess. There is a world of difference between a group of creatures fighting by instinct and an organized army.
William stood still, gently pulled up the bandage on his face, covering his nose, and then walked slowly towards the lair of the living corpse. He walked faster and faster, and when he was approaching the door, he was almost running!
Squeak! He suddenly opened the heavy iron door and rushed into the living corpse's lair!
This is a hall with several hundred square meters. There are more than 30 living corpses scattered all over the place. With ferocious rat meat. In the corner of the hall, a pair of living corpses were panting and roaring, busy mating. In the center of the hall was a conspicuous big bed, on which sat a living corpse, apparently a woman. She actually wore a suit and pencil skirt that professional women in the old days used to wear, and her skin did not have large bluish-black spots and wrinkles like other living corpses. Her skin can already be said to be somewhat smooth, and her appearance is more like that of a professional human woman from the olden days. Compared with other living corpses, she is slightly petite, with a straight sitting posture and crossed legs, she is a full-fledged office girl.
However, judging from the fact that the other living corpses did not dare to approach this bed cautiously, and the brighter red light in her eyes than ordinary living corpses, it all showed that she was the queen of this lair!
The door of the hall was suddenly opened, and there was a loud noise. Almost all the living corpses instinctively looked towards the door, but the door was empty!
The moment he opened the door, William suddenly bowed his body and exerted strength, his body rushed forward several meters in an instant, as if teleporting, he had already flashed to the center of the hall. At this time, the living corpses looked at the door, and naturally saw nothing. At the moment when the living corpses were in a daze, William rushed forward another three meters!
William's pupils narrowed rapidly, showing a strange cross star shape. The cross star formed a straight line with the black muzzle of the pistol, and it was fixed between the eyebrows of the zombie queen!
In the entire hall, only the living corpse queen didn't look at the door, but saw William. Her mouth suddenly opened wide, as if frightened, her eyes were filled with horror, and she didn't dare to make any moves at all!
Seeing her frightened deer-like demeanor, William's finger on the trigger even hesitated a bit. He stopped his forward momentum, and the muzzle of his gun began to drop.
The eyes of the zombie queen suddenly lit up with a dazzling red light, showing two inch-long scorched teeth, and rushed forward at a faster speed than ordinary zombies! The extreme mouth distorted her whole face.
Bang, bang, bang... The six bullets were fired almost at the same time, the first bullet pierced her neck, and the other five bullets drew an arc along her collarbone, thus completely covering her head. Cut off from the body.
William slowly retracted the pistol.
Only then did the living corpses in the hall react, their eyes were bloodshot, they roared hysterically, and rushed towards William like crazy.
William retreated again like gliding on the surface of the water, just out of the pounce circle of the living corpse, and then he rushed to a strong living corpse guarding the door with fast and fine steps, and suddenly stretched out his left hand, grabbing forcibly. Catch the iron pipe it swung down!
William turned around casually, and the iron pipe was in his hands, and then he threw himself into the arms of the living corpse, and pushed the living corpse, which was a full head taller than him, back quickly until it reached its back. It slammed heavily on the wall next to the door!
William's body shrank, and he had lightly escaped from the embrace of the living corpse, flashed out of the gate, and disappeared into the deep passage. But the heart of the living corpse had grown an inch long, but it was a bottomless wound.
The living corpses in the hall roared frantically and rushed towards the gate!
Suddenly there was a strange and sharp whistling sound in the air. The iron pipe used by the living corpse just now flew into the hall at an incredible speed, passing through the bodies of three living corpses one after another before it was considered exhausted, and fell to the ground with a bang. Juzi jumped and bounced a few times.
With the ferocious nature of the living corpse, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and an instinctive atmosphere of fear began to spread in the hall. They hesitated, and some of them had already started to avoid the direction of the gate.
In the darkness outside the door, another drop of bright blood flew, fell on the ground in the hall, and fell into the shape of a small crown.
Roar! ! The living corpses suddenly stirred up, their extreme desire for fresh blood overwhelmed the fear in their hearts, and rushed out of the hall one by one, chasing down the passage to the depths of the underground passage.
They don't know that the world shrouded in darkness has always been William's world.
Dull and heavy gunshots sounded from time to time, along the tortuous passage, waves spread to the distance.
Ten minutes later, William walked slowly into the hall. The hall occupied by living corpses looked like it was originally a waiting hall of a subway station. Now, of course, there will be no more subways, and there will be no people waiting for the train. William walked towards the big bed in the center, stopped by the bed, picked up a magazine placed by the bed, and flipped through it casually. This is the May 1997 edition of "FASHION", and it can be seen that it has been preserved with great care.
William put down the magazine, walked to the corpse of the Queen of the Dead, and brushed her face lightly with his right hand. The red glow in the zombie queen's eyes gradually disappeared, and the luster in the pupils also faded away. William took out a delicate aluminum box ten centimeters long, opened it carefully, took out a scalpel from the box, removed the eyes of the zombie queen, and kept them in the aluminum box.
The genes in her eyes have been taken by William.
Infrared vision has always been the next ability that William wants to obtain. The ability of the zombie queen is obviously much stronger than that of ordinary zombies, which just meets William's needs. As long as 8 evolution points are accumulated, William can evolve infrared vision with the help of the living corpse queen's gene specimen and eye structure.
William walked up the stairs of the hall until he was blocked by a barbed wire gate. He removed the sundries blocking the door, and broke the rusted iron lock on the door with another shot, and then pushed open the wire mesh door.
After walking up for more than ten meters, William's blue eyes narrowed slightly immediately, and a bright sun shone on his face. After working in the dark for a long time, this ray of sunlight made his eyes a little uncomfortable.
After a little adaptation, William stepped onto the ground. The "METRO" sign on the stairs is still very clear, and has not been completely blurred with the years.
William raised his eyes and saw a vast wilderness to the west, and countless high-rise buildings hidden in the mist to the east. It looks like this is a subway station on the outskirts of the city. There aren't any mutated creatures with sufficient threat around. This subway station and the surrounding area should be the hunting range of the living corpses in the hall, and there would be no other creatures entrenched. Although the living corpses are afraid of the sun and rarely move around on the ground, night is their world, and when they are extremely hungry, they will wander around the city shrouded in darkness.
William took out the map and made a mark on the location of the subway station, indicating that it was safe. At the same time, in William's memory area, a precise and accurate map was called out, and the corresponding area on the map gradually lit up. As William's gaze swept across, part of the outline of a big city gradually appeared.
So far, the mission of N11 base has been completed.
