The mother star secretly transformed itself from us

Chapter 2247 Killing One is a Sin

Once upon a time, the high priest and I divided the world into two parts. One of us shaved souls, and the other cut flesh. My dear, how happy they were!

What a huge gathering of young and old, virtuous and immortal people!

To a certain extent, in a certain version of the branch plot, Li Cang did indeed say and do so. In that line, there were no living people, only zombies. The zombies were revived and nourished their souls, just like a dead tree coming back to life in spring, and they could become human beings!

It's smooth, it's finally smooth.

No wonder I always felt like something was missing when I was analyzing it before. If we added the role of the High Priest to the story, wouldn’t the plot instantly become fuller and more three-dimensional?

Your Excellency the High Priest, Your Excellency the High Priest, look, look, although you have never appeared directly in my story, the brother units have always been thinking about you!

loyalty!

peace brings money!

Li Cang's sudden trance almost made Lao Hu think that he had been gone for a while: "Nima, you little bastard, you scared your father to death!"

"Where were you talking about?"

"Fuck your dad, I'm going back to my room to catch up on some sleep. We'll talk tomorrow!"

"See you!"

Lao Hu couldn't make it after all.

On the third day after Lao Hu passed away, Xiao Hu came to see Li Cang. She did not show much sadness or fear, but just kept asking Lao Hu what he usually talked about. She said in a very calm tone that this was her first time to see Lao Hu in the hospital, and also the last time.

Suddenly, at a certain moment, time became unclear in Li Cang's perception, and he needed to use the watch to determine whether a minute, an hour or a day had passed.

The survivors in Yanchuan City finally discovered this piece of pure land that had even begun to be cultivated. People or zombies continued to gather towards the Second Hospital.

It is more like being driven away than seeking refuge.

There is a sense in which the zombies' behavior is intended to earn them the top spot on the mountain. At this moment, the boundary between geological fragments cannot be called a natural barrier for anyone other than humans. They ignore the vast world with great potential outside Yanchuan and stick to reinforced concrete in a corner. This is undoubtedly not in line with the zombies' first law of survival.

Xiao Hu closed the entire corridor where Li Cang was and acted as a leader. In addition to collecting some early-growing wild vegetables within the wall of the second courtyard and planting vegetables in the artificial greenhouse on the top floor, the most common food eaten by the survivors was rats, dogs, and birds.

Lots of stray dogs frequently roam around the Second Hospital. Having eaten human flesh and zombies, the dogs are fat and strong, with their red and blue eyes revealing an indescribable ferocity. Occasionally, there are one or two of them, and even lone zombies dare not approach them.

Cats are very popular though.

At first, it was just a few nurses who fed stray cats before the disaster and occasionally sent a few crows, magpies, sparrows, goldfish and other things. After receiving too much paid petting, cooked meat, clean water and other material exchanges, things gradually became complicated.

These little guys even replaced carrier pigeons and ushered in the era of inter-city communication ahead of time!

However, although

Carrier pigeons also come out of their mouths, right?

In short, this gave the survivors of the Second Hospital great inspiration. Humans were timid, and only cats carried the burden and moved forward. The cat pockets hanging on the chest or belly were always filled with all kinds of information, maps, and snacks.

At this moment.

Xiao Hu was holding a big orange dog in his arms, sitting in the sun, staring blankly at the group of zombies wandering outside the door with their teeth bared. Yes, the Second Hospital had developed to the point where it no longer needed to close its gates.

First come, first served. Every survivor in the Second Hospital suspected that Xiao Hu had a secret, but they could choose not to ask. The abnormality here was the kind of abstract that was obvious at a glance, so abstract that it made people terrified but gradually numb.

"How's that zombie?"

"Nothing happened."

"When did this happen?"

"last night."

Zhou Wang glanced at Xiao Hu's face cautiously. The source of his fear was not the gun in Xiao Hu's hand, but his admiration for the fact that the little girls who were ignorant a few months ago grew up to be leaders who managed hundreds or thousands of people in an orderly manner in a short period of time. No wonder Xiao Hu liked him so much. Wasn't this an extension of his unfulfilled wish?

Xiao Hu looked back at the window hidden under the apple tree and was silent for a while: "Send another one in this afternoon. What are the results of the sample test?"

"It's not infectious. Cell culture, uh, I don't know what to call that thing. Anyway, the borders under the microscope are clear. The two samples are disgusting. I think it's necessary to conduct a few live tests. We still have some white mice."

"Grandpa said it's too late." Xiao Hu whispered to himself: "Go ahead and test it, whatever you want. Tomorrow night, I will give my opinion. As for how many people are willing to go together, that's their business!"

"Sister Hu, are you really leaving?"

“Let’s go!”

Zhou Wang looked at the zombies outside, gritted his teeth, and was about to say something from the bottom of his heart to express his feelings when he was interrupted by Xiao Hu.

"After feeding them for a few days, you have guessed what they are afraid of, right?"

"Infected body!"

"He still has self-awareness!" Xiao Hu said calmly, "Besides, he didn't infect my great-grandfather!"

"You mean, we should take"

"We have enough zombie powder and derivatives. Together with the biochemical suits, we should be able to make the zombies outside ignore us. I will try again with stray dogs at dawn tomorrow. I will try to be as thorough as possible. I believe in my great grandfather's judgment and what that man said. If we continue to stay in the Second Hospital, we will not even be digging our own graves. We will only be buried alive with him!"

That night.

Xiao Hu opened the closed corridor door, removed the heavily stacked obstacles, walked to the ward door, and knocked: "Li Licang?"

Under her feet were clumps of fluffy organisms that looked like a fungal carpet. The walls and ceiling had lost their original texture. The complex biological structure that absorbed sound and light extremely well made her feel like she had entered a different dimension as soon as she entered the room. She couldn't help but raise her voice again and again.

There seemed to be a faint glow pulsating among the pale vines. The ceiling lights had stopped working, but the room was still bright. In front of the former hospital bed, a small piece of glass had been wiped clean, and the night scene outside the window could be seen.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

"I want to ask"

"Once you become a zombie, you can no longer be called a human. I promise that you will most likely not miss the days of being a human again, and you may not even be able to adapt at all."

"You, you know who I am?" Xiao Hu Youbang was surprised: "But, why?"

"Because it's wonderful, it's pure wonderfulness."

"Even if you are like this, it is still the same."

The tubes rustled, and a vague human figure ended his daze, stood up from the corner, walked in front of her and handed her a bag of puffed junk food: "Yes."

"?"

"When you look at things from a perspective that is no longer limited to yourself, but a broad, diverse perception system, then, more or less, human beings themselves will appear bland and boring." "So are you still a human now? Can you become a human again in the future?"

"The butt determines the head." Li Cang slapped open the packaging bag with a bang, which scared Xiao Hu. "My current thinking logic is determined by my biological structure, which creates a very magical first-person spectator effect. I can't describe the feeling. Anyway, it's very interesting."

Xiao Hu was silent for a while, his eyes full of heartache: "Brother-in-law, I'm sorry to meet you in this way."

"Ah."

"I'm leaving?"

"Ah."

Xiao Hu stepped forward and hugged Li Cang: "If they can die once, then they can die a second time. This is not your fault, and it's not even you!"

When Li Cang smiled, it felt as if branches and flowers were shaking. The walls under the pipes in the whole house were trembling along with it. Amidst the rustling, friction and collision, touches of vibrant green were projected, cold and bleak.

Xiao Hu walked hurriedly, not closing the door this time: "Let's go!"

Zhou Wang and others who were waiting outside the corridor were suddenly stunned. They looked at the pale bone that surged out of the door like a fox demon's tail and asked tremblingly: "What, what is that?"

"Come on!"

In just one night, the one-third of the main building where Li Cang was located in the corridor was completely occupied. The pale bone vines poked the floor, and the people on the underground floor squirmed and rolled in pain. It was not until the early hours of the morning that the building fell into deathly silence again.

However, Zhou Wang was shocked by the choices made by the survivors. At least more than two-thirds of them said they wanted to stay here.

"Are you crazy?"

"Get outside! Stay alive! What do you think we're doing? Using those cats! We've almost finished mapping the entire Salt River! There are still a lot of settlements like this out there!"

"Sister Hu she"

Someone interrupted, "Everyone knows that you are tinkering with that zombie powder or something, but where can we escape to? We have this thing here, and those things outside won't come in. We have food and drink, and even enough time to freely choose our own way of ending our lives. I won't leave. I'm not afraid to be embarrassed when I say this. I was bitten by a dog when I was a child, and I'm afraid of dying that way. I know you have a lot of plans and hopes, but I escaped from outside to here, and I don't want to go through it again. Please really let me go."

Zhou Wang was unwilling to give in: "What about you guys?"

"Of course I'm staying here to accompany Teacher Cang!" A little nurse said with a grin, "This is private time, no interruptions!"

"I'm fed up with it. I've had enough. I'm tired. Let's just destroy it!"

"That's right, all the points were deducted to my grandma's house."

"No, no, I won't leave. I'll just go back outside when I die. What's the big deal? Hey, I can also experience the feeling of becoming a zombie. It's definitely worth it!"

Xiao Hu took away two hundred people.

The number of people in the Second Hospital increased from thousands to three hundred, to more than a hundred, then back to a few hundred, to thousands, and then fell again, for more than half a month.

Xiao Hu and his group did not bring much supplies, and left them all to those people. In fact, they could not carry much even after wearing protective clothing and a layer of derivatives. They just slowly moved out of the gate of the Second Hospital under the suspicious and confused gazes of groups of wandering and roaring zombies.

"roar~"

"Help!"

"Quiet, don't move!"

A dozen moments that betrayed their humanity were torn to pieces. The feeling of breaking bones and tearing tendons was still terrifying even when looking back at it now.

"Keep going." Xiao Hu said, "Follow the original route, walk lightly, don't sweat, and make sure you get to the grain depot first."

A little further away from the hordes of zombies, the group of people felt relieved and started communicating to divert their attention.

"Sister Hu, what do you mean by not turning into a zombie?"

"Yeah, this thing, can it be transmitted memetically?"

Granary.

The granary, which was nearly half intact, was under heavy guard. There were more people living inside than in the Second Hospital. They had enough food and were well clothed. Their mentality was much better than that of the people from the Second Hospital, which had experienced at least two internal conflicts. They were accepted with great ceremony.

"Ms. Hu, thank you for your hard work."

"Ah, this is the garrison that entered the city, Captain Zhang."

"welcome!"

Xiao Hu had no intention of dealing with them. He responded with a few words and brought his people to the assigned base to take a rest in turns. The people's hearts were now separated not only by their stomachs, but even by several people.

The geological fragments moved away from each other, forming mountains that floated on the skyline and finally disappeared in the dim smoke. Days passed one by one, and Xiao Hu had to spend most of the day on the top of the grain storage silo.

"Sister Hu, it's time for lunch. I heard there are live fish today!" Zhou Wang said, "Why are you still looking? I don't understand what you look at every day. Hey, this telescope was given by Captain Zhang, right? That guy is obviously not a good guy. Just look at his face! He is a lecher and has the eyes of an eagle and the back of a wolf!"

Xiao Hu glanced at him and said, "All crows are black!"

"Ah, this." Zhou Wang choked: "Uh, cough, I heard that several people died last night. Why do I feel that the situation has changed as soon as we get here? What's the point of killing people here? I mean, hey sister, can you take a look for me too?"

"Ah."

"The Second Hospital is so white, wait a minute." Zhou Wang was shocked: "Sister, look, look, over there, there are several sky islands, and someone is coming up!"

Xiao Hu grabbed the telescope and looked through it. Suddenly, he vomited and said, "I want to get out!"

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine." Xiao Hu just saw a style of painting in the telescope that shouldn't appear in reality. It was like some kind of visual disturbance, and somewhat similar to the psychedelic mosaic in the jump channel, but it was much stronger than the jump itself. Just a quick glance, and he felt a sense of loss as if his soul had left his body: "I want to get out!"

"Go out? Go out for what?"

"The person I've been waiting for, he's here!"

"Sister, what are you talking about?"

Xiao Hu ignored him, shook his confused mind, and after waking up for a while, he climbed down hurriedly. Zhou Wang gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, then followed him.
