103: monster
Strong Ox was delighted: "Big Brother's method is truly brilliant!"
"It's just like the folk tales I've read; as long as we disguise ourselves and infiltrate the enemy's Ranks, we can learn about their situation."
"This Murong Zhan doesn't look much different from a zombie, so it won't be easy to blow his cover."
Yang Chunlai thought to himself: Although Murong Zhan isn't much different from a zombie, there are still significant differences after all.
I've already disguised him just now; I hope he doesn't get exposed.
Zhu Yeqing found it hard to believe, "Big Brother, where did this Zombie General come from?"
"How did you subdue him?"
Murong Zhan was something he had obtained during the competition at the Wang Family Villa.
If he spoke of it, he would reveal his core secret.
The fewer people who knew, the better.
Yang Chunlai smiled and said, "That's a long story. Let's focus on studying the intelligence!"
Old Gourd said, "It'll probably take an hour or two for this Zombie General to go in and come back out, right?"
"Only when he comes out can he report the situation to Big Brother."
Yang Chunlai said, "Haha, we can study the situation right now."
Saying that, he led everyone into the rv.
Yang Chunlai transmitted the images Murong Zhan saw in his mind onto the television screen in the front of the rv.
Strong Ox was surprised: "Whoa, it's this advanced?"
"So Big Brother installed a monitor on Murong Zhan."
Old Gourd thought to himself: There's no internet here, so how is this footage being transmitted?
But he didn't ask further; after all, Big Brother was omnipotent.
Being able to subdue even a zombie was shocking enough.
Transmitting a video feed was just child's play in comparison.
Murong Zhan had already reached the entrance of the Air Raid Shelter.
Two zombie guards were acting lazily.
After being dressed up, one wouldn't realize Murong Zhan was a zombie unless they looked closely.
Moreover, hiding behind several other zombies made him even less conspicuous.
Murong Zhan easily entered the Air Raid Shelter.
The screen began to turn dark.
Zhu Yeqing was worried; it was pitch black inside the Air Raid Shelter, so how could they see anything?
Just as he was wondering, the image gradually became brighter.
The transparency was turned up by about thirty to forty percent.
It was as if night vision had been activated.
"Wa wa wa wa..."
Several bats flapped their wings and rushed out from the darkness.
A few zombies were struck and used their hands to shield themselves.
The image remained very stable.
Clearly, Murong Zhan remained calm in the face of danger and didn't care about these bats at all.
Holy crap, even this works?
Zhu Yeqing couldn't help but look at Big Brother.
Big Brother was expressionless, looking as if he had seen it all before.
Zhu Yeqing quickly focused his attention back on the Monitoring Screen.
Inside the winding secret passages of the Air Raid Shelter, both sides were packed with dense crowds of zombies.
Baring their teeth and howling incessantly... Strong Ox analyzed, "Holy crap, he's been walking for almost an hour, and he still hasn't seen all the zombies."
"This number is at least in the tens of thousands!"
"How can the few people in our Xiaohe Village hold them off?"
All three leaders were alarmed.
The robust young men under the three leaders all said in surprise, "We used to say zombies were easy to deal with, but looking at this lineup, wouldn't a tide of zombies dealing with our Xiaohe Village be a piece of cake?"
"When we get back, we have to train our troops properly!"
"Otherwise, we won't even be enough for a few bites of a snack for so many zombies."
...Yang Chunlai nodded inwardly; it seemed he had successfully intimidated them.
Everyone would surely do a good job with ideological work upon returning, persuading everyone to train hard and prepare to resist the enemy.
Yang Chunlai thought to himself: I already saw this zombie lineup last time.
I wonder where the king of these zombies is?
Searching blindly like this isn't the way.
As the saying goes, "You can search far and wide for something without finding it, only for it to appear right before you when you least expect it."
He happened to spot the Giant Zombie he had seen last time.
It was holding a rat as big as a fat pig in its hands.
The rat was struggling desperately.
The Giant Zombie bit off its backside in one mouthful, chewing and swallowing greedily.
The rat screamed in pain.
Billowing blood flowed from the back half of its body.
Several Zombie Soldiers nearby didn't dare snatch from their superior; they threw themselves onto the ground to lick the blood.
The Giant Zombie didn't care and walked straight forward.
It accidentally stepped on the head of a Zombie Soldier licking blood.
That Zombie Soldier's body struggled a few times before it stopped moving.
The Giant Zombie didn't even look back, lifting its foot and continuing on.
Yang Chunlai and the others saw on the TV screen that the Giant Zombie's massive foot had lifted.
The head of the Zombie Soldier on the ground had already been crushed as flat as a piece of paper.
Yang Chunlai controlled Murong Zhan to follow.
By following this Giant Zombie, he could find the Zombie King.
The Giant Zombie arrived at a Secret Chamber.
This place was heavily guarded.
Several strong and robust zombies were guarding the outside.
Yang Chunlai, Zhu Yeqing, Old Gourd, Strong Ox, and the others were all curious: "What kind of place is this?"
"Could this be where the Zombie King is located?"
Everyone held their breath and widened their eyes, staring intently at the screen.
Murong Zhan pretended to be one of the Giant Zombie's subordinates, following behind several other underlings.
These brainless fellows actually didn't notice much.
Their brains weren't very useful to begin with, and of course, they couldn't imagine how an enemy would dare to invade such a heavily guarded place.
They entered the room, but there was no Zombie King.
It looked more like a Slaughterhouse.
Rows of hooks could be seen, with human bodies hanging from them.
Several Zombie Butchers were busy among the forest of meat.
Everyone discussed, "Are zombies evolving this fast?"
"Instead of eating living things, they want to eat slaughtered chunks of meat?"
"Slaughtering meat... leave it to these zombies to think of that. What are they doing?"
"The zombies' food is this good?"
Continuing forward, next was a Barbecue Room.
A few zombies were barbecuing.
They had skewered a body with a large iron rod, entering from the back and exiting from the mouth.
Beside them was a large fire.
They placed the large iron rod over the fire to roast.
Saliva poured from the Giant Zombie's mouth like water being poured from a bowl.
It seemed to feel that the rat meat in its mouth was no longer appetizing.
Old Gourd said, "People in the Apocalypse have started eating human flesh; I didn't expect zombies to start eating it too."
Yang Chunlai commented, "It might not be something ordinary zombies can eat."
"The zombie world also has its Ranks."
"This roasted meat is definitely provided for privileged zombies."
Zhu Yeqing analyzed, "If even this Giant Zombie is eating filthy things like rats, could the barbecue be for the legendary Zombie King?"
Following this line of thought, wouldn't they be able to see the Zombie King soon?
Everyone grew excited, only hoping to see the legendary monster sooner.
In the TV footage, the Giant Zombie gave a few orders with some squeaks and groans.
A zombie went over and lifted the iron rod.
Then it roared at Murong Zhan, "Wa ya ya," its meaning incomprehensible.
Murong Zhan remained motionless, not knowing what its strange shouting at him meant.
Could I have been exposed?
Seeing no reaction from the subordinate behind him, the Giant Zombie turned around.
It saw Murong Zhan standing perfectly still and also showed a curious expression.
"Wa wa ya ya..."
Strong Ox cried out in alarm, "Big Brother, has Murong Zhan been exposed?"
