Volume 3 Chapter 193: The Living Dead Ranch
"What kind of urban legend? Tell me in detail." When it comes to urban legends, even Nanzhu's eyes lit up.
It seems that even though she is a member of the family and an immortal, she is still a girl who likes gossip at heart.
"I know, I know." Liz quickly raised her hand, as if she had finally found a way to please the psychic, and immediately explained to Nanzhu.
"It is said that there is a ranch somewhere in the city, but this ranch does not raise animals, but humans, and these people will not run away, but are raised obediently like animals, because these people are actually dead, the living dead." Liz explained vividly, interspersed with two small movements from time to time.
"Wow, it seems a bit scary." Nanzhu said as he huddled beside Lin Xu.
"Are you serious?" Mu Xiyue looked at her speechlessly.
There were groups of zombies passing by you, but you didn't seem so excited. Do you find it scary?
Sure enough, the little girl was unreasonable.
Not like a mature woman like me.
Mu Xiyue felt a little proud.
"Yes, it's just a simple urban legend. However, what is not explained in the legend is that this incident actually happened. The Ranch of the Dead really exists." The female man added.
"Does it really exist? Urban legends are actually true? This is impossible." Liz widened her eyes, unable to believe it.
The people around her looked at her speechlessly. It's the end of the world, and the streets are full of zombies. You still don't believe it? So the brainless bear is talking about you.
The female man ignored her questions and continued to tell the story.
"And this Zombie Ranch not only raises Zombies, but also feeds them with human corpses. It can even be said that we first noticed something was wrong because corpses kept disappearing from the hospital morgue, so we started investigating."
"As the investigation progressed, we discovered the existence of the Living Dead Ranch. Such an abnormal place naturally attracted the attention of the higher-ups. I became a special investigator and continued the investigation with my colleagues."
"Until that day, the living dead were released, zombies spread quickly, and everything was destroyed. And I was the one who witnessed it all. Afterwards, I fled the city and ended up here." When the female man said this, she had already lowered her head deeply.
"So, the Undead Ranch is not in this city, and the zombie outbreak did not first occur in this city, but in another city?" Nanzhu asked.
"Yes, it's in Rona City, 300 kilometers away." The female man had calmed down and answered in such a short time.
"Can you take us there? Rona City." Lin Xu asked directly.
"Rona City." For a moment, the female man's eyes were a little dazed, but she quickly regained her toughness.
"Okay, I'll take you there. Actually, I shouldn't have escaped in the first place. I should have died there a long time ago." The female man who said this suddenly smiled on her tense face.
"Don't worry, we are here and will not let you die." Lin Xu looked at her and said casually.
The female man just smiled and didn't take it seriously, but she didn't know the weight of this sentence. Even if she was really dead, Lin Xu could still capture her dissipated consciousness information from the higher dimension, as long as she had not been dead for too long and the consciousness information had not completely dissipated.
As his understanding of higher dimensions increased, Lin Xu gradually developed many abilities that he had never dared to imagine before.
For example, capturing the consciousness information of dead people who have not yet disappeared through higher dimensions is something that Lin Xu suddenly realized that he could do recently.
Although he hasn't actually tried it yet, he feels like it should be fine.
"What about you? Do you want to follow?" Lin Xu asked the other six people beside him.
The six people looked at each other and hesitated.
Under normal circumstances, it is naturally safer to follow a person with special abilities.
But now these people with special abilities are obviously going to a more dangerous place.
The place where the zombies broke out, it goes without saying that there must be a lot of dangers there.
"Can we not follow?" Tucker asked first.
He was still quite strong and could probably survive even if he didn't follow the psychic, so naturally he didn't want to take the risk.
"Of course." Lin Xu nodded.
The others looked at each other and expressed their unwillingness to go along.
Lin Xu had no intention of forcing them. It could even be said that he was quite happy to have fewer burdens.
Only Liz, who always stayed close to Tucker and seemed to follow Tucker's lead, suddenly raised her hand weakly.
"Can I go with you?"
Suddenly, everyone looked at her with surprise.
But only Liz herself knew that whether she followed or stayed here, she would need to rely on others to survive, so it would be better to rely on a psychic who looked more powerful.
Moreover, the experience of Tucker abandoning her before made her understand that even if she could rely on others because of her beauty, she would be the one to be abandoned at the critical moment.
Although there is a possibility of being left behind at critical moments when following a psychic, psychics are more powerful, so such moments should be rare.
So, she chose to take a gamble.
In this way, in the end, only five people remained from the original team of seven.
The female man and Liz all followed Lin Xu and the others and left.
Tucker was a little unwilling to see the meat go away without getting to eat it, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Just like that, Lin Xu and his companions left the dental clinic. A sword light enveloped them, and also wrapped up the female man and Liz.
In the blink of an eye, the sword light shot towards the sky.
Looking at the way Lin Xu and others left, the few people who chose to stay suddenly felt a little regretful, but it was too late.
"What, what is this?" The scenery passing by rapidly and the clouds in the sky made Liz's heart beat several times faster, and she pressed herself tightly against the tomboy.
The tomboy frowned, but didn't push her away in the end.
"The city below is the Rona you mentioned, right?" Mu Xiyue, who was in charge of flying the sword, pointed to the city that was already visible to the naked eye below.
Mu Xiyue, who had already learned the location of Rona City from the radio waves circulating above the planet, did not need any directions at all. She flew directly to the sky above Rona City on her sword.
However, this fast pace scared the tomboy.
"Yes, the city below is Rona." The female man had mixed feelings for a moment. She had been on the run for half a month before finally escaping from Rona City. She hid in the previous city , but she didn't expect that it only took a moment to come back.
"Next, you will point out the location where the zombies first broke out." Mu Xiyue said.
"Down below the TV tower, it's underground there." The female man pointed and said.
Then the sword light fell towards the TV tower below.
The female man quickly reminded, "Be careful, there is a nest of heavy zombies on the TV tower."
But it was too late. The sword light descended rapidly and had already reached the vicinity of the TV tower.
At the same time, roars came from the TV tower.
Immediately afterwards, the female warrior saw countless heavy zombies that were more than three meters tall and had hard shells that even machine guns could not penetrate. They jumped up from the TV tower and rushed towards the sword light.
The female warrior's heart suffocated, and she thought she was going to be overwhelmed by the overwhelming heavy zombies. Suddenly, the sword light that enveloped several people dispersed into countless tiny sword lights, shooting towards the overwhelming heavy zombies.
Then, in the eyes of the female man in disbelief, countless heavy zombies fell from the air like dumplings and turned into pools of rotten meat under the TV tower.
"How did you guys do it?"
roar.
A huge roar came from inside the TV tower. The heavy zombies, which were already hesitant as to whether to continue attacking, suddenly retreated into the TV tower one by one and never showed up again.
"These zombies are a little different. Like animals, they have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm." Nanzhu said in one sentence.
"That's right, and there was also that particularly loud roar just now. These zombies seemed to be controlled by that roar. The owner of that voice is most likely intelligent." Lu Yao also guessed.
"So that intelligent being, or should we call it the Zombie King? Does it want to hide and accumulate strength, and attack us when we are not prepared, or is it simply afraid to show its head?" Nanzhu guessed.
"Who knows? It has no impact on us." Lu Yao shrugged.
"That's right." Nanzhu nodded and didn't care.
Indeed, no matter what conspiracy or intrigue it is, it needs to be supported by strength, so no one really cares about what the suspected zombie king is planning.
Just like that, the sword light landed on the square below the TV tower. At this time, the square was full of heavy zombies that had just been shot down from the sky.
These heavy zombies were indeed different. Blood was actually flowing out of their bodies, filling the entire square with the stench of blood.
"Are these also zombies? Why do they have biological characteristics?" Lu Yao put on his white coat again at some point. He squatted there and kept poking a heavy zombie that was still breathing slightly, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Are they evolved from zombies?" Lu Yao looked at the tomboy and Liz and asked.
"Yes." The tomboy nodded.
Liz also nodded repeatedly.
"This is unscientific. How could a zombie covered in rotten flesh evolve into flesh and blood?" Lu Yao was puzzled.
"How can it be unscientific? It's an element of apocalypse after all. It's not a big deal. Hurry up and catch up." Nanzhu, who was walking in front, called out.
"Coming, coming." Lu Yao hurriedly followed.
In this way, the group entered the interior of the TV tower.
Most of the floor-to-ceiling glass on all four sides had already been broken for various reasons, and the hall was also in a dilapidated state, with all kinds of dirt all over the floor.
There are even countless shell casings and deep pits left by the explosions.
"When the zombies first broke out, we had some people who launched a joint attack here, but unfortunately we failed," the female man explained.
The group continued to walk inside, and soon, under the guidance of the female man, they arrived at the basement and found a secret elevator leading to the underground.
Originally, the female figure thought that there would be a power outage in the elevator, but to her surprise, the elevator was actually fine, as if it had been operating normally not long ago.
During this process, several people also encountered one or two heavy zombies in the basement, who seemed to be pretending not to exist in the corner of the wall.
He must have been hidden by the order of the Zombie King.
But it was embarrassing to be discovered by Lin Xu. Nanzhu just slapped it twice and it broke into pieces.
It was as if the heavy zombies that could fight Tanka head-on seemed to be made of paper, making the tomboy even doubt her life for a moment.
"Wait a minute, although the elevator is intact, you can't use it, in case you get trapped." The female man looked at the open elevator door, but wanted to stop several people from entering.
"It's okay. We can't be trapped even in the center of the earth." Nanzhu waved his hand nonchalantly and rushed in first.
Lin Xu followed closely behind, and Miss Qiu followed Lin Xu.
The expression on the tomboy's face changed, but Liz became more calm and followed him in. Now that she had come this far, there was no turning back.
So the tomboy sighed and followed him in.
Just like that, the elevator started and went down. The female man looked nervous, but fortunately, no accidents happened along the way.
The elevator went straight down for hundreds of meters and finally slowly stabilized.
But before the elevator door opened, several people heard fierce gunfire coming from outside.
Da-da-da, bang-bang-bang.
It was like being in an intense firefight.
Then the elevator door opened, and a wide underground square appeared in everyone's sight.
The square was surrounded by white light, with instruments standing on top of it. Looking at the large number of creatures inside, it seemed that some kind of experiment was being conducted.
In the distance, there was a team of fully armed soldiers who were shooting at various zombie creatures behind them while running towards the stairs near the elevator.
Just at this moment, this team of more than a dozen soldiers saw the elevator open and Lin Xu and his group walked out of the elevator.
After being stunned for a moment, he immediately pointed the gun at Lin Xu and others, shouting "Put your hands up."
Obviously, Lin Xu and his group's use of the elevator openly made them think they were members of this underground base.
"Hmph." Mu Xiyue snorted coldly.
The next moment, the guns in the hands of these soldiers seemed to be attracted by a strong magnet. They flew out in the blink of an eye and were squeezed into a large iron ball directly above the heads of Lin Xu and others. During this period, the ammunition exploded due to the squeezing, but they were all isolated inside, and the explosion did not extend out at all.
Finally, there was only an iron ball made of guns, which rolled to the ground and looked at the team of soldiers in amazement.
At the same time, flashes of lightning flashed from Mu Xiyue's hands. In the blink of an eye, all kinds of zombies chasing the soldiers were cut into pieces by the lightning in Mu Xiyue's hands and scattered on the ground.
Some were still trying to crawl, but they could no longer get up because they had lost their limbs.
"Who are you?" The leader of the soldiers, who was suspected to be the captain, asked in surprise and doubt.
He had already seen that these people did not seem to be from the headquarters of the mastermind behind the doomsday they had infiltrated, but they were not ordinary people either.
The female man opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she found that she didn't seem to know who these people were.
So he looked at Lin Xu and the others, but unexpectedly, Lin Xu and the others had no intention of answering at all. Instead, they walked straight through the line of soldiers and continued to walk into the interior of the base.
Lu Yao just said this when passing by.
"Those who have nothing to do with you, you can get out of the elevator now."
The captain wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't know what to say.
He just watched Lin Xu and others walk into the place where they had just been driven out.
So he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet.
He reached out from his leg and pulled out the only remaining pistol, then followed him.
The rest of the team members looked at each other, then took out their remaining weapons and followed.
They all knew the importance of their mission, which involved the survival of the world. This world was waiting for them to save it, so they could not give up easily. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, they would still try.
Lin Xu ignored the soldiers following behind him.
The group passed through the spacious hall and entered the only corridor. They walked forward for a long time. There were countless rooms on both sides of the corridor, each of which was blocked by a heavy steel door. However, they could not stop Mu Xiyue.
Just a slight sword energy cut the door open, and behind the door were laboratories, but now these laboratories were empty.
Until everyone came to a big door, and when they opened it, another hall appeared in front of them.
At the same time, the existence in the center of the hall also appeared in front of him.
That huge dragon-like creature that was several stories tall, had three heads, and huge wings.
This dragon-like creature looks like a Western dragon. It is red all over, as if its skin has been peeled off, leaving only muscle texture and tissue organs.
There were things like tentacles wriggling in some parts of its body, sucking the flesh and blood from several heavy zombies not far away and turning them into its own flesh and blood.
That’s right, this should be a biochemical dragon formed by the evolution of a zombie.
The moment she saw the biological dragon, the tomboy's hands began to tremble slightly.
It was a fear that came from genetic instinct, as if the creature in front of him was genetically suppressing him.
In addition to the tomboy, Liz had already sat directly on the ground, too scared to speak.
All she had now was regret. She shouldn't have followed these people with special powers. Now she was doomed.
As for the well-trained soldiers, their situation was a little better, but it was about the same as that of the female warriors. At most, they could barely hold the pistol in their hands.
"Wow, this big lizard is so ugly!" Nanzhu was the first to exclaim.
"Foolish mortals, the invincible figure bestowed upon me by this God is beyond your comprehension." The biochemical dragon in the center of the hall seemed to have heard Nanzhu's words, and spoke with arrogance in its tone.
Its sound seemed to be mixed with the voices of countless people, as if men, women, old and young were all speaking at the same time, with all kinds of accents, which sounded awkward to the ears.
"Can't you just speak properly? You're already ugly, and your speech is unpleasant." Nanzhu frowned, as if he heard a noise.
"Hmph, let me show you this perfect body bestowed upon me by the gods." The biochemical dragon completely ignored Nanzhu's complaints, just as a strong man would not care about the barking of a weak dog. In its view, these few weak mortals in front of it were nothing more than mortals who had mastered a little supernatural power by chance and had become extremely inflated.
But it doesn’t matter, it will give these mortals the shock of true gods.
As he spoke, the biochemical dragon had already raised one of its three heads and spewed out a flame that was powerful enough to melt steel towards where Lin Xu and the others were hiding.
But before it reached Lin Xu and others, it was blocked by a transparent barrier.
"You have been talking about God just now, and you said that it was God who gave you this body? So the end of the world is the masterpiece of that god?" Lin Xu asked slowly behind the barrier.
"The end of the world? You call this the end of the world? This is clearly the rebirth of the world. But you are right, this is a masterpiece. This new world is the masterpiece of God. Let's praise the great God." When talking about things related to God, the three-headed dragon immediately became emotional.
"Then can you introduce your so-called god?" Lin Xu continued to ask.
He wanted to determine whether this so-called god was the Apocalypse Clan.
"Of course, my great lord, Apal, the god of death, spreads death throughout the universe. Wherever he goes, there is only eternal death. Only a few lucky ones like me will be blessed by the lord and gain eternal life. Of course, you are also one of the lucky ones, because you have also obtained the power blessed by my lord, so come into the arms of the lord, and I will forgive you for everything you have done before." The three-headed dragon shouted the name of Apal, the god of death, like the most fanatical believer.
"Apal? Can you contact him directly? I want to meet him." Lin Xu made a request that instantly exposed the three biochemical dragons.
"You lowly ant, how dare you ask to see the gods? You are not qualified. Go to hell." The furious biochemical dragon pounced on him.
The three dragon heads spewed out different breaths, bombarding the faint transparent barrier in front of the people.
Liz screamed immediately. In her opinion, she and her people were really doomed this time.
Even the female warrior and the soldiers felt that there was no hope.
But who knew that the seemingly weak transparent barrier was actually indestructible. The breath of the three dragon heads, coupled with the overwhelming impact of the biochemical dragon, were all blocked outside.
Even the entire body of the biochemical dragon appeared to be in a state of hitting tempered glass, with the entire dragon body sticking to the transparent barrier, which was as funny as it could be.
"Master, relevant information about the God of Death Apal was found in the base database." At this moment, Zhenxing's voice came.
Lin Xu nodded and said, "Get rid of it, it's useless."
So the next moment, Mu Xiyue raised her hand.
At this time, the biochemical dragon, which was completely blocked by the transparent barrier, had realized that something was wrong. It struggled hard to smash the transparent barrier in front of it, but it was completely helpless.
"No, I am the follower of the great God of Death Apal. How could I fall here?"
The bio-dragon roared, and after realizing that even after using its greatest strength, it was still powerless against the transparent barrier, it turned around and fled towards the passage behind.
It’s a pity that it didn’t fly very far.
Mu Xiyue raised her hand and clenched it tightly.
