Chapter 75 Find the reason
But the air is not safe. Lu Chen has not forgotten the incident that appeared in a large-scale crow group just entered the mission world. He would rather spend more time to avoid the attack below. Lu Chen would not dare to increase the height too high.
Lu Chen in the air relies on magnetic force to control the road. Although he consumes some mental power, his speed is still very good. Although the contractor who does not specializes in flying is fast, it is still much stronger than the zombies on the ground. It took only ten minutes before Lu Chen got rid of the zombies' pursuit.
At the same time, when the pressure was slightly reduced, Lu Chen contacted Iron Man and the others through the communicator and had known their location long ago. Therefore, Lu Chen did not need to search again and flew over along the route.
It was only this time that he flew for half an hour and left the town far away that Lu Chen saw them. It seemed that so many zombies just now made them a little scared and dared not get too close.
At this time, they were all waiting in place. When they saw Lu Chen coming, they stood up and came to Lu Chen to welcome Lu Chen.
"Sir, it's great that you're fine." The happiest among the people was undoubtedly Vivian. Her strength was not too strong, and she could only survive by relying entirely on Lu Chen. If Lu Chen died, it would definitely be a huge blow to her.
Then there was Oak. He knew that Lu Chen had a relationship with Dragonfly, but he didn't want Lu Chen to die. However, Dragonfly only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Chen and did not express too much. After all, she didn't know Lu Chen's identity.
In addition to the few people close to Lu Chen, Iron Man, Hawkeye also breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Chen is their hope for survival, and they don’t want something to happen to Lu Chen, at least not to happen now.
"Don't worry, if I dare to stay, I have enough confidence to deal with them." After saying this, Lu Chen paused. There was no stranger and asked directly: "This time there are many mutated zombies. What do you think?"
"Are you a mutant zombie? Sir, I think it's very dangerous outside now. We can't continue hunting. Going back to the defensive base and spending the survival mission is the right thing to do."
As Lu Chen expected, Iron Man chose to seek stability, not wanting to explore the truth, and wanted to go to the defensive base. He focused on overcoming this task.
This is also what most contractors do. They are too greedy and do not know how to examine the situation and have died.
If I didn't know that zombies could increase the evolution speed of the ring, Lu Chen would do this. But at this moment, Lu Chen could not give up. Of course, using his strength to suppress them is the worst way to do that, Lu Chen would not do that.
After thinking for a while, Lu Chen said, "Even if we return to the base, we must figure out the situation."
Seeing what the Iron Man wanted to say, Lu Chen said first: "Don't say that we have potions in our hands that can make zombies afraid. Our base is just a branch of the Umbrella Company. There are potions that make zombies afraid. It's hard to say that there are no potions in the Umbrella Company that attract zombies, so this matter must be solved."
Lu Chen's words suffocated the iron man who wanted to say something. Lu Chen's words made a lot of sense, and he did not refute it.
"What other reasons can we have? It's too easy to use our survival points to see, and it increases the difficulty." Only Snow Girl can say this.
Her words made Lu Chen shake his head: "It is not so direct to increase the difficulty of space. There must be a reason. Just like when we are strong and enter this Resident Evil world, in order to increase our difficulties, zombies are all radiated through nuclear radiation."
"We don't want to survive in the city and run directly to the wild. The space does not allow zombies to appear in the wild against common sense, but uses mutant beasts in the wild to test us with the umbrella company. There is a connection here. There is definitely a reason for the increase in mutant zombies this time."
Lu Chen's words made the contractor ponder. Space really would not destroy the mission world like this. It was just a reason. They couldn't think of it after thinking for a long time. Finally, Iron Man put forward an insight.
"Will there be a spiritual zombie mutant existence in that small town that can control the actions of mutated zombies? When we entered before, it did not take action. This time we killed too much, and it couldn't help but take action."
"It is impossible. If there is such a spiritual zombie, it will never take action immediately. It will wait until we enter the town before we can surround and kill. Although the number of mutant zombies is large, they do not cooperate much in their actions."
Most creatures have a leader, and it is not surprising that a control type mutates into the zombie group, but Lu Chen thought about it and denied this opinion.
"It is possible that something good suddenly appeared in the city. It can mutate most zombies in an instant." As he said this, the snow girl's eyes lit up a little.
This may not be said to be none, but the probability is too small.
"Sir, do you think this is the umbrella company's move? They should have the ability to mutate the zombies." This was said by Hawkeye, and this reason is the most reasonable among the people.
Just: "The Umbrella Company will not come in three days, and it is unlikely now."
"The big army came over in three days. They were very likely to have some research teams outside. At this time, they received news from the main base to find fault with us."
This made Lu Chen ponder. If this is the case, Lu Chen must clean them up, and they can also clean up the zombies with confidence.
But reason told Lu Chen that this reason was still a bit far-fetched. At this time, Lu Chen was also a little confused. He did not want to give up the opportunity to upgrade the ring, but too many contractors were consuming their power here, or even killed in battle. Not to mention that Iron Man and Hawkeye disagreed, even Lu Chen himself was unwilling to happen to such a thing.
While Lu Chen frowned and thought, the dragonfly's voice suddenly sounded weakly: "I wonder if you have noticed that when I passed by the second time, there were no zombie corpses on the ground, and the zombie corpses we killed for the first time disappeared."
Dragonfly's words made Lu Chen's eyes lit up suddenly.
He looked at the dragonfly in surprise, and Lu Chen smiled at her: "Thank you, I understand."
Lu Chen's thanks made Dragonfly a little overwhelmed. Other contractors were more concerned about Lu Chen's subsequent words.
"You understand. Sir, I found the reason for the increase in mutated zombies." Iron Man, who was thinking hard like Lu Chen, asked quickly.
"Well. I found it. I would like to thank Dragonfly. If it weren't for her, it would have bothered me for a long time this time. You can get more of this harvest."
Dragonfly solved the problem in Lu Chen's mind this time, and the more important thing is that Dragonfly is his sister. Therefore, Lu Chen was rare and generous, asking her to choose more things.
"Sir, you are polite. It is my duty to be able to serve the team."
Dragonfly is still polite, but Iron Man and the others already want to know what the reason is.
"I don't know, can you tell us what the reason is."
"Of course it's okay. Speaking of which, we were careless for the first time." When he said this, Lu Chen's tone became serious: "This matter actually happened to us."
"We." Lu Chen's words became increasingly puzzled.
"Yes. The reason why the number of mutant zombies suddenly increased is very simple. Do you remember the zombie corpses we left on the ground during the first hunt? As Dragonfly said, when the second time passed, the zombie corpses were gone. Where do you think they went?" Lu Chen asked back.
Iron Man and the others are not stupid either. They all reflect on the past and after.
"Mr. I mean those corpses were eaten by zombies. And after eating the corpses of the dead companions, some of the zombies mutated into mutated zombies."
"Yes, only this answer can explain why the number of mutated zombies suddenly increases. Those zombies can devour their companions and enhance their bodies. Higher zombies evolved from low-level zombies."
"Since zombies can devour their companions and strengthen their bodies, why don't they keep killing each other?" Iron Man also accepted Lu Chen's explanation, but he couldn't understand it at all.
But this is not something Lu Chen can explain.
"Maybe there are other reasons." After fooling around, Lu Chen changed the topic: "Since the reason has been found, let's find a way to solve this problem."
Lu Chen didn't want to leave yet. As long as he could find a way to stop the increase of mutated zombies, Lu Chen could take them to continue hunting.
This time, the Iron Man did not object anymore and frowned and began to think hard.
They had tasted the sweetness just now and could get a lot of survival points. They didn't care at all. They just asked Lu Chen to go back, but they just felt that the harvest and efforts were not worth it. If they could really find a way to stop the increase in mutated zombies, they also wanted to continue to increase their survival points.
There are many ways to prevent the zombies from devouring their companions' corpses from growing. Soon, the snow girl spoke.
"I can seal the corpse with ice, or directly freeze and smash it to prevent the zombies from swallowing it."
The method Snow Girl said was indeed possible, but it consumed too much. There were quite a few zombies Lu Chen and the others were going to hunt. When they arrived, the Snow Girl didn't care about it at all.
Lu Chen could also think of a way to stop the zombies, which was to bury all the corpses with soil, but doing so would consume a lot of money for Lu Chen. Although he had a lot of mental power, he would not be able to hold on if he kept using it like this.
After a long discussion, Lu Chen and the others found that it was the best way to burn zombies with gasoline. This would not require wasting the contractor's physical strength and strength, and kill zombies.
But this method requires a lot of gasoline, and the little gasoline in the vehicle outside is not enough for Lu Chen and the others to use.
"We can find a gas station and use oil trucks to carry gasoline to fight, so that we don't have to worry about zombies mutating."
The Iron Man's method was very appropriate, but Lu Chen could not bear it. In that case, they would have to waste a lot of time on the road, the speed of killing zombies would be greatly reduced, and Lu Chen's speed of collecting resentment would be reduced.
After pondering for a long time, when the other contractors agreed with the Iron Man's opinion, Lu Chen firmly spoke: "Let's go to the city."
"It's not possible to enter the city, absolutely not. The dangers in the city are not comparable to those outside." When Iron Man contacted Guo Jia, he knew that Lu Chen went out to hunt zombies this time, not just to survive, but also had other purposes.
As for what purpose it is, Iron Man didn't know and didn't ask. Each contractor has his own secret. If he is not close to each other, he may make enemies if he asks rashly.
However, he felt Lu Chen's strangeness. Even though Iron Man felt danger and trouble and did not want to continue hunting, he did not insist on returning to the base. Instead, he proposed a safe way to fight back and forth. He also knew that killing zombies was too slow, but at least he gave Lu Chen an explanation. Of course, Iron Man was ready for Lu Chen's opposition.
But he didn't expect that Lu Chen would play cards so unreasonably and would propose the taboo of entering the city. Entering the city has always avoided it. Lu Chen and his team were so easy to hunt zombies and their strength was only part of the reason, or even a small part of the reason.
They rely more on mobility so smoothly. Outside the city, they can retreat at any time. A large group of mutant zombies attacked just now, and they did not suffer much loss when they retreated early.
But everything is different when entering the city. Not to mention more zombies in the city, Lu Chen and the others will also be surrounded by zombies. It is almost impossible to get out easily. When there are a large number of mutated zombies in the city, Lu Chen and the others will definitely die when they enter the city to fight.
If you don’t want to die, you must use potions, but if you use too much potions, it may make tanks appear, which will be more difficult to deal with. Therefore, Lu Chen and the others have been avoiding going to the city to fight. At this moment, when Lu Chen asked this, the iron man thought Lu Chen was crazy.
Iron Man did not expect Lu Chen to make such a request, but Lu Chen had known about Iron Man and the others' reactions for a long time, and he had already responded.
"This time it's really dangerous. If I don't want to go, I won't force myself. I can help with the defense at the base."
Lu Chen already had the idea of splitting the route. A-level props are indeed precious, but whether they can get them is just an unknown number. Lu Chen has already obtained the B-level props paid by the contractor team.
Whether it is eyes, black robe, magic books and magic crystals are of great help to Lu Chen, so Lu Chen doesn't want to die too many people here.
Dividing the path is the best choice. Lu Chen will fight alone and succeed. Lu Chen can get A-level props. If he cannot succeed, he will not need to die. This is the best choice.
Lu Chen's answer made the Iron Man silent. He did not ask to leave immediately. He was not stupid. He knew something. If Lu Chen was missing in the final battle, they might not be able to survive even if they escaped at this moment.
As if I saw the Iron Man’s concern, Lu Chen continued: "Don’t worry, I’m still a little sure of going to the town. Don’t forget that I am a high-level contractor." (To be continued.)
