The mastermind behind this started by creating a strange story

As expected, he was still the Arthur she met at first sight, a pretentious middle school boy.

A moment later, the helicopter flew over the edge of the city and headed directly for the city center, where government officials were already waiting for them.

They had already been informed before coming that the people coming this time were the Holy Maidens and Paladins who were here to help them solve the problem.

They will work together with the troops stationed here to resolve the zombie siege.

"Whoosh~"

The helicopter parked at the rooftop parking lot gradually stopped several of its rotors, and the wind and waves it created gradually subsided.

"Click~"

"Welcome to Chita."

The moment the plane door opened, the Chita city officials who had been waiting there came forward to greet them. They had received orders to entertain the two young supernatural warriors who came to help them.

"You're welcome. In order to solve the zombie problem as quickly as possible, please explain the situation quickly."

The moment they got off the helicopter, Melina hurried forward and asked the question before Arthur could speak.

"Well, don't you need to rest after coming such a long way?" asked the mayor who was at the front of the welcoming team.

"No, we are in good spirits now and don't feel tired. We don't need to rest."

"In that case, please follow me."

The mayor walked in front and led everyone to the conference room of the government building. Since they wanted to know the situation quickly, the best way was to watch the video.

Not only are there videos of zombies surrounding the city outside, but there are also videos of soldiers going to the sewers to investigate, and even videos recorded by soldiers before they died.

Know yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end.

Those who had seen zombies with their own eyes had already been taken to government buildings in order to obtain more accurate information.

The mayor, who was walking in front, had already sent people to bring those people to the conference room and asked them to prepare for their speeches. As the first person to discover the zombies, Shaq was naturally among them.

Chapter 8: Searching for the Origin

Government building, conference room.

The zombie witnesses around the long table rushed to talk about their discoveries, hoping that these discoveries could turn into practical benefits.

If nothing else, at least there should be a silk banner and 5,000 rubles.

Arthur and the other man, who had come from afar to help, naturally sat at the chief seat, and next to them were local high-ranking officials and the colonel of the army stationed here.

They also value first-hand intelligence about zombies.

In a moment, after listening to the information from the witness, Arthur organized the information in his mind and sorted out the useful content.

"Did this zombie appear suddenly? Without any signs?"

Seeing Arthur in deep thought, Melina acted as an interrogator and asked, this question is very important, if there are any signs, it means that the zombie crisis definitely has a mastermind behind it, and it is not a problem that suddenly appeared.

She was aware of the saying that to cut the grass you must root it out. If they just wiped out all the zombies outside the city without removing the root cause, the zombie crisis would continue to occur sooner or later.

We must find the source of the zombies, or the mother body?

And there is another problem...

"Mayor, have you done any research on this zombie that suddenly appeared?"

"Hmm..." Melina pinched her chin as she thought about how to put it, "Is it the zombie virus or something like that? For example, as long as you come into contact with this virus, you will be infected and turned into a zombie."

"Have you studied the antidote for the zombie virus?"

Hearing this question, the mayor and the colonel looked at each other, and the chief officer smiled bitterly and replied: "We have definitely studied it. After all, the antidote to the virus is the top priority."

"Whether it's a TV show or reality."

"It's just that..." The colonel sighed, "After all, reality is not like movies and TV shows. Movies and TV shows may still pay attention to logic, but reality has no logic at all."

"Through our research on the zombie beasts, we discovered that there was no so-called zombie virus in the corpses. Instead, it was a kind of energy radiation that we could not observe at all that changed the cells of the corpses."

"This kind of energy is not biotechnology at all, nor is it even cell mutation. It is totally inconsistent with scientific principles, so we don't know where to start researching the antidote."

"Is that so..." After hearing this answer, Melina fell silent. This was the first time zombies appeared in reality, and she definitely didn't understand them.

But I have no idea at all, which makes it a bit difficult.

"Oh, there were signs." The colonel said suddenly, "The first place where the zombies appeared was a mountain, and those zombie beasts also came down from that mountain."

"After we killed the zombie beasts, zombies appeared in the sewers, and then the crisis of zombie siege appeared."

"If there is a sign, it's that the zombies are getting stronger and stronger, and more and more numerous. First they are in the mountains, then under the city, and finally outside the city."

"Hmm..." Hearing this, Arthur, who was in deep thought, suddenly said, "Then we may have to go to the mountains. I'm afraid the source of the zombies is there."

“After all, the first time I encountered zombies was in the mountains.”

At this point, Arthur looked at Shaq on the left side of the long table. It was this young man who told them the location where they first encountered zombies.

Shaq was a little nervous being looked at by Arthur like this, and wanted to say something, but Arthur had already taken his eyes away from him. Seeing this, Shaq opened his mouth but still no sound came out.

"Colonel, we need to go to the mountain." Arthur turned to the colonel next to him and said, "I hope you can give us some help."

"Yes, yes, but..." The colonel looked embarrassed. "Most of our soldiers have to protect the city. Not only do they have to patrol the edge of the city, but they also have to be wary of the drowned corpses in the sewers. So there are not many soldiers who can help you."

"It doesn't matter." Arthur grinned and showed off his arm muscles. "We are not weak!"

In just a few words, Arthur and the colonel finalized the arrangements to go to the mountains.

Seeing this, Shaq knew that if he didn't speak up, he would have no chance.

"and many more."

This shout made the two people who were discussing the details stop and look at Shaq together. Being stared at like that, Shaq gritted his teeth and still spoke out the request in one breath.

"Please let me follow you. I can recognize the road. I know the exact location where the first zombie appeared!"

"Aren't you afraid?" Arthur turned around and asked, waving his hand to tell the colonel not to speak.

"I'm not afraid!" Shaq thought of his missing father, and said again, "I want to find my infected father. Even if he has turned into a zombie now, I... I want to find his body!"

"Those are man-eating zombies. If you get bitten, you'll just have to wait for death. And we won't have time to take care of you. Aren't you afraid?"

"Not afraid!"

Listening to the boy's confident words, Arthur smiled and nodded, "Your courage is commendable."

"If you are not afraid and can take care of yourself in battle, it is not impossible."

Hearing this, Shaq's face lit up and he quickly bowed his head to thank him, but Arthur just smiled and told him not to worry about it.

At the same time, it also tells the colonel not to worry about it. It's just one more person and it won't be a burden.

The colonel did not refute this. After all, according to the orders he received, deepening Arthur and Melina's connection with the city was the top priority.

And Shaq's behavior was exactly what he wanted. Compared with soldiers, it was easier to deepen relationships with these local young people, and maybe even become friends.

After the meeting, the colonel took Arthur and Melina away from here and went to where the troops were stationed to prepare to equip them with weapons and manpower.

Shaq, who wanted to go together, was naturally stopped. He could go together, but it would be a bit too much to go to the military camp together. He could wait by the roadside and take a car to the foot of the mountain together.

Shaq had no objection to this, and he could also take this opportunity to talk to his mother.

After his father disappeared, his mother suddenly became much more haggard. If he also disappeared without a word, his mother would definitely not be able to bear it.

In a quarrel that was not really an argument, Shaq still stood firmly on the side of the road of the government building, ready to go to the foot of the mountain with Arthur and others.

Although it was dangerous for him to do this, he had experienced more dangerous things before, and he had someone to protect him this time, so it was nothing.

Ignoring his mother's objections, Shaq got into the car after saying goodbye and went to the foot of the mountain in the armored vehicle.

It was at the foot of that mountain, and a series of things have happened since then, a series of surreal things.

The wooden house at the foot of the mountain is still there, but the hunters there are no longer there.

After the zombie crisis was resolved, the uncles who originally lived here no longer thought about returning to live here, but returned to their houses in the city.

Therefore, there is now silence in the wooden house at the foot of the mountain.

Chapter 299 Corpse Cave

"Is this the place where the zombie beast first appeared?"

Arthur asked casually while visiting a wooden house he had never seen in Romania.

"Yes, the zombie beast appeared the day after I encountered the first zombie. It is very likely that the escaped zombie transformed ordinary animals into zombie beasts."

Shaq, who was following nearby, explained that since he had come along, he should at least play some role. He couldn't just be a mascot.

"Um... the original zombie?"

Arthur picked up some soil stained with the blood of the zombie beast from the ground and carefully sensed its composition.

"..."

Perception failed. There was no element here that could alert the Holy Light. I didn't know if it didn't exist in the first place or if it had already dissipated.

"Let's go to where you encountered the first zombie."

Arthur shook off the dirt in his hand and said to Shaq beside him. He stopped wandering around and returned to the team.

The number of soldiers who came this time was not large, only about twenty people, but each of them was the elite among the elite, and the equipment they were equipped with were also top-notch.

An assault rifle for long-range combat, a small pistol for close combat, an alloy dagger for close combat, and boxing gloves. Not a single piece of skin was exposed on his body.

In short, it’s just two words: professional!

"Let's go up the mountain."

As the initiator, Arthur is naturally also the captain of this team. The deputy captain is Melina, and the two of them usually do not act separately.

Neither.

After observing the wooden house at the foot of the mountain, Arthur decided to go into the mountain first. No one objected to this. After finding a small path, the group went up the mountain in a mighty manner.

As the guide, Shaq walked in front with Arthur. No one was more familiar with this mountain than him.

Even the marks carved into the tree trunks have not disappeared.

The journey was neither long nor short, because it was just on the mountainside, and everyone walked quite fast, and soon arrived at the place where Shaq first encountered zombies.

That is the place where he killed the zombies.

However, based on what happened later, the zombie was definitely not dead and had escaped.

"It's right here." Shaq pointed to the backpack full of holes on the ground and the dagger thrown beside it. "This is where I killed the zombies and escaped."

"But I came back to look for it later, and the zombie's body disappeared. The zombie was playing dead."

While Shaq was explaining, Arthur was squatting on the ground looking for clues, and the others stood by with guns, keeping an eye on the surroundings. The bushes in the forest were good hiding spots.

If the bullets were unlimited, they would really like to shoot all the bushes several times, but unfortunately the bullets are limited, so they can't do this.

"How's it going? Arthur, have you found anything?"

Melina bent over with her hands behind her back, looking at Arthur who was squatting on the ground picking and choosing, and asked, "If he is so serious, he might really find something."

"...Did you sense anything?" Arthur did not answer, but asked a question instead.

"Hmm...it seems not."

The Holy Light Bracelet did not react at all, and in her perception, there was nothing unusual around her, only peace.

"That's it, why do you think people with less perception than you can discover unusual things!"

"..."

He was so righteous, so righteous that Melina didn't know what to say. She opened her mouth and felt like a fool.

"Humph!"

Melina was very unconvinced, so she kicked Arthur who was squatting on the ground, "I'm so stupid, really, I only knew that you were shameless and could say those shameful words casually, but I didn't know you were so shameless."

"Then don't you know now?"

Arthur, who found nothing, stood up from the ground and looked at Shaq on the side: "Do you remember where you encountered the zombies just now? It's the place where you found the zombies at the beginning."

"Remember." Shaq touched the marks he had carved on the tree trunk, "Even if I forget, these marks will lead me there."

"Well, let's go there quickly then."
