Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

It turns out there is a reason why there are no zombies here. This place has been occupied by others. At the same time, I have some scrutiny and suspicion about the girl's existence. The girl in front of me must be very powerful to be able to clear the zombies in this area alone.

At the same time, You Ling felt a little uncomfortable. It had been a long time since a girl treated him like this. After all, the girls he met either chatted with him, tried to please him with other purposes, or ignored him. This was the first time he met a girl who started to mock him right away. The key point was that the other party still spoke so nonchalantly, as if she didn't care about his existence at all.

"Pfft..."

Faced with You Ling's embarrassment, Guan Xingwei on the side couldn't help laughing. If he wasn't afraid of being abrupt, he would have given the other party a thumbs up and praised him for being well said.

But soon, seeing the eyes of the people around him turned to him, he held back his laughter, and his heart was filled with pleasure. It had been a long time since he saw someone treat this guy so impolitely. It felt so good!

You Ling soon realized that his words were inappropriate, and since they were not in a position to have a conflict right now, he quickly responded apologetically.

"I'm sorry, I was abrupt. I didn't know this was your place, young lady. We just wanted to fix up a bit, and we didn't mean any harm."

With his brows relaxed and a gentle expression revealed, You Ling introduced himself and the people in the team.

"My name is You Ling. I'm the captain of the third team at the Starlight Base. I was sent here with my teammates to investigate the anomalies in the city."

He then introduced several teammates around him.

“These are my three teammates.”

"Han Tan, Guan Xingwei, Fu Xin"

As he pointed out the names one by one, several people behind him came out and introduced themselves.

Guan Xingwei came out first and looked at the girl with recognition.

"My name is Guan Xingwei, and I'm a level 2 psychic. What you just said was very good!"

Guan Xingwei was so proud of himself that he wanted to step forward and try to pat the girl on the shoulder, but then he received a disapproving look from behind. He quickly remembered that the other person was not familiar with him and the others, so he quickly stopped his familiar greeting, laughed and returned to the team.

Another man and a woman also came out to greet them.

"My name is Fu Xin, and I'm also a level 2 psychic."

The only female team member stood up and pointed at the white-faced muscular man next to her.

"This is Han Tan, a person with super powers."

Han Tan smiled.

"Hello."

The group briefly introduced themselves, and Kato Megumi did not neglect them but nodded.

"My name is Kato Megumi, I'm a magician, a passer-by here, and I'm staying here for the time being."

Kato Megumi simply reduced herself with words and didn't say much.

"Magician!?"

Guan Xingwei's eyes lit up.

"Is it the kind that does magic?"

"Guan Xingwei!"

The woman next to him called out to him.

"Don't talk nonsense. Magician should be Ms. Kato's ability. What magician? Are you going to introduce yourself to others as your occupation before the apocalypse? Are you going to introduce yourself as a college student?"

Seeing Guan Xingwei pouting in dissatisfaction, Fu Xin really didn't understand his train of thought, and then apologized to Kato Megumi.

Kato Megumi also shook her head, indicating that she didn't care much about it.

At this time, seeing that the atmosphere had eased, You Ling finally opened his mouth and asked.

"When we arrived, all the zombies here disappeared. Did you do all this?"

"Yeah, I did the right thing."

Kato Megumi nodded and admitted.

"I wanted to take a break, so I found this place and cleaned up the zombies around me."

You Ling looked at him thoughtfully. Although the two had been introduced, as the captain, he was still a little wary of a strange but powerful woman.

"It seems that you are quite capable?"

"It's ok."

Kato Megumi smiled slightly and replied vaguely.

"Speaking of which, Lanshan City has been occupied by zombies, especially the inner area, where there are many high-level zombies. Most people with special abilities will not come here. Even if they want to collect supplies, they only dare to stay in the outer area. I wonder what your purpose is in coming here?"

You Ling asked bluntly and tentatively.

"If possible, we can exchange information. Maybe we can help each other along the way if we have the same goal?"

Unexpectedly, the other party blinked, first looked at him, and then looked at his teammates behind him.

You Ling understood instantly and said.

"We came here as a group to investigate the anomaly in Arashiyama City. Ten days ago, our electronic equipment captured an abnormal gathering of zombies in Arashiyama City from high altitude. Combined with the unique information transmission chain from major bases, we suspect that Arashiyama City may be brooding with zombies, so we came here to check it out."

"Zombie Tide?"

"Well, it's very likely."

You Ling took out the photo from his arms and gave it to Kato Hui.

Kato Megumi reached out to take it. The photo was very blurry because of interference for some unknown reason. The closer the electronic equipment was to the zombies, the more severe the interference was, so the photo taken was a bit blurry and not clear.

However, Kato Megumi could still see the gathering of corpses from the blurry photo. They seemed to be guarding something, ready to attack.

No wonder there seem to be fewer and fewer zombies these days. Is this the reason? Kato Hui looked at the few people. It seemed that these people were not lying and were telling the truth.

"I came here to look up some information. I heard that the library in Lanshan City has a lot of information, so I entered the inner circle."

Kato Megumi did not hide it from them, and no one who bought the account would hide it, so she told them her purpose.

"library?"

You Ling seemed to have thought of something, and his face was thoughtful.

"what happened?"

Kato Megumi clearly felt that the other party seemed to have something to say, but did not say it, so she asked in confusion.

"It's like this. We also know about the library in Arashiyama City. Before the apocalypse broke out, I looked up information there several times as a student."

You Ling said slowly, then frowned and looked at Kato Megumi.

"But if we remember correctly, the library is in the city center, and the center of the zombie tide is roughly the same, so..."

"So I might not get what I want?"

Kato Megumi sighed.

Is she so unlucky? How could she happen to encounter this thing? Even if she is powerful, she is somewhat powerless in the face of a city of zombies.

"This is a bit difficult..."

Seeing that Kato Megumi was a little distressed, You Ling was slightly thoughtful, as if hesitating about something.

Fu Xin behind him seemed to understand what You Ling wanted to say, and suddenly stood up and spoke to Kato Megumi.

"If I'm not mistaken, Ms. Kato, you are coming from another base? A nearby base?"

She thought for a moment as she spoke.

"If I remember correctly, there is a shelter near Lanshan City. However, due to the zombies and the terrain, we cannot have close contact with it. We can only communicate with it occasionally to exchange information and confirm whether it is alive or not."

Kato Megumi nodded slightly.

"Yes, I came from that side."

"You must have stayed there for a long time, right? I remember from the information I got, the shelter there seemed to be closed everywhere, with only one exit, Arashiyama City, but this exit was blocked by zombies from Arashiyama City."

Hearing this, Kato Megumi blinked and looked at Fu Xin thoughtfully.

"So... what do you want to say, ma'am?"

Fu Xin just smiled.

"What I want to say is very simple. A zombie tide is a big deal. Once it happens, the bases nearby will inevitably suffer. It is the focus of human prevention. And Miss Kato, you must have some feelings for the shelter over there since you came here. I'm sure you don't want the zombie tide to spread over there, right?"

"Besides, you can come to Arashiyama alone, so you must be quite strong. And your goal is the library, so I wonder if we can cooperate to get rid of the zombies. If we get rid of the zombies, wouldn't you be able to achieve your goal?"

Everything Fu Xin said expressed one meaning, that he wanted to cooperate with Kato Megumi.

Even if he didn't know the other party's special abilities, he must not be an ordinary person to be able to survive so cleanly alone in Lanshan City. More people mean more strength. Facing the great enemy of mankind, Fu Xin naturally wanted to cooperate with the other party. There was nothing wrong with that.

You Ling, who was standing by, heard Fu Xin express the same idea as himself and echoed it.

"You're right. A zombie tide is extremely dangerous. Once it occurs, all surrounding bases will be in trouble. In this case, I think cooperation may be more beneficial."

"So you want me to form an alliance with you to solve the zombie crisis?"

Facing Kato Hui's question, before You Ling and the others could answer, the girl smiled and decisively refused.

"Sorry, I don't have such an idea..."

"Uh……"

Kato Megumi looked at them and nodded slightly.

"I'm used to being alone and don't want to team up with strangers. The zombie tide you mentioned should indeed be dealt with. I know about this matter and naturally I can't just ignore it. We can cooperate and exchange information we have discovered later, but forget about teaming up together. I don't like doing everything with others."

"But only by being together can we be safer and more effective..."

Seeing Han Tan on the side suddenly said, unexpectedly, Kato Hui blinked and looked at him.

"But that's you, not me..."

"After all, I can clear out a safe zone by myself. Am I not safe if I stay here?"

Kato Megumi didn't say anything rubbish about everyone present. She just expressed the signal that she could do it alone and didn't need to team up with others.

It just so happened that the other party had such strength to prove it, as evidenced by the fact that there were no zombies around before. This made You Ling and his group feel a little embarrassed. Although the other party did not mean to belittle them, for some reason, they all felt embarrassed as if they were implied.

However, seeing the other party's innocent expression, You Ling and his group felt that they were overthinking.

Being alone has its advantages, and being a team has its advantages. The other party just likes to act alone! Besides, the two parties are just strangers who have talked for a few words, and they can't be called familiar with each other. Thinking of this, the request just now was a bit abrupt.

Not to mention whether the other party believes in oneself or not, even if one acts together, one may not be able to fully trust the other party, let alone cooperate.

Thinking in this way, the other party’s rejection is not a bad thing.

"Ms. Kato is right. We were too abrupt."

"Nothing. I also want to thank you for telling me this news. Otherwise, I still wouldn't know about it."

Kato Megumi shook her head, then looked at a few people, slightly hesitant.

"As for the zombie tide, I have only heard about it but I don't know the specific situation. I have never seen it. Since you have received this news, I wonder if you have any detailed information and preparations?"

The term "zombie tide" was first mentioned by Kato Megumi accidentally from Chenxi's mouth. All we know is that when the zombies reach a certain level, a large number of zombies will collectively appear and attack human bases, and this situation is called a zombie tide.

But Kato Megumi had no idea how the zombie tide was formed, what the situation was, why they suddenly attacked humans en masse, how they were found, and how to deal with it.

So when faced with several people who knew more than she did, Kato Megumi couldn't help but ask questions.

Seeing that the other party didn't know much about the zombie tide, Fu Xin on the side thought about it and told the other party what he knew.

Ordinary people also know a lot of information about the zombie tide, but it is limited after all. Even those with special abilities only know half of the information and not the whole picture. However, due to Fu Xin's special status in the Starlight Base, he often hears his father's communications with other bases. Therefore, he knows more details about the zombie tide than others and is also aware of the secrets inside.

It was also because of this that she asked to take the initiative to inquire. Miss Kato in front of her seemed to be quite capable and could be of great help to her and others' behavior, so she did not think of hiding what she knew and telling her other party.

"We still haven't figured out why zombie tides occur, but I do know a thing or two about how zombie tides occur. In fact, wherever zombies gather, zombie tides are inevitable. The more zombies gather, the greater the chance of a zombie tide."

As Fu Xin laid out all the information he knew, Kato Megumi's expression gradually became serious.

Zombie World: Chapter 576 Chapter Zombie Tide and Zombie Nest

The reason why Starlight Base knew about the zombie tide was naturally because other bases had encountered zombie tides and shared this news with other major bases.

It turns out that the emergence of a zombie tide is inevitable, just like an ant colony has a queen, zombies also have a birthplace.

It’s just the opposite of ants. Ants first have a queen ant, and then the queen ant lays eggs to form an ant colony; zombies are the opposite. First, a doomsday turns most humans into zombies, and then the gathered zombies will form a nest under certain circumstances.

According to speculation and inference from major bases, the emergence of corpse nests is related to the evolution of zombies, and further, it is related to the hunger value.

The more zombies gather in a zombie gathering place, the more likely it is that zombie nests will form and then zombie tides will appear. This is not because there are too many zombies and quantity has turned into quality, but simply because the more zombies gather, the more it means that there are no humans and animals near that area, and there is no real living life.

Even zombies must obey the law of conservation of energy. Although they can absorb energy from the air as power like humans, this is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.
