Hejin County, late at night.

A bright moon hung on the branches, in the forest, and a man wearing a rag cloak wrapped himself tightly sat on the ground, leaning his back against a spruce. He raised his wrist, lifted his sleeves with his sharp black nails, and looked at the data displayed on his watch.

【Infection Number: 132 people】

【Number of mutations: 0】

【Temperature: Suitable range】

【Balance pressure: low (Warning: please reduce activity)】

【Risk: Suitable.】

【Relative oxygen content: 61% (Warning: limited activity)】

To be honest, he didn't want to travel to Jaohe County, as the environment here is really not very suitable for zombie activities.

If it was in the plains, he could already lead more than a hundred people to start developing rapidly.

But here, the air pressure, daytime sunshine, oxygen content, and these important indicators are all displayed in red. For ordinary zombies, it is difficult to develop rapidly under such environmental pressure... in one word!

Even his own activities were greatly restricted, let alone those ordinary zombies.

The environment and climate here are extremely unfavorable to zombies, and the land is vast and sparsely populated. It is difficult for him to bring zombies to infect various villages continuously, let alone conquer the county town protected by city walls.

And he had to beware of the human who traveled three days earlier than him!

In the end of the world, humans established the last line of defense in the Himalayas - the lifeline. The reason why the zombie army could not capture it for a long time was also closely related to the harsh environment in the local area.

Although he was reluctant, he didn't have many choices.

The main artificial intelligence program of the Zombie Legion is data intercepted from the Human Control Center. They used this to increase the T3 crossing machine's traveling time by more than three years. However, due to the lack of a large amount of data, in order to ensure that there is no accident during crossing, they dare not make large-scale modifications to the obtained data, and could only slightly modify the crossing landing point.

So he traveled to Hejin County, one to avoid being intercepted after crossing directly to the human location, and the other hand, it is also a technical limitation.

Among the 132 infected zombies, no mutated zombies suitable for plateau activities have appeared.

In a word, judging from the current situation, it is not too difficult to get infected on a small scale, but the time is not yet ripe for a large scale infection!

"Oh!" The man lowered his throat, let out a low roar, with a hint of anger in his roar.

This progress is too slow now.

With his roar, two or three black shadows in the darkness behind him suddenly became anxious.

"Oh!" The man turned around, bared his teeth at these guys, his eyes deep in his eyes, looked at these zombies with sharp eyes. Seeing the boss getting angry, these guys immediately calmed down, retreated timidly, and hid in the dark forest.

Seeing his subordinates quiet, the man turned his head and looked at Hejin County standing in the night.

He had always hoped to disintegrate the city from within, but the stupid county magistrate never left zombies overnight on the grounds that there were not enough "beds" in the charity village. The villagers of the three villages, with more than 130 corpses, were all pulled here to be buried on the spot on the same day.

Shouldn't we keep the body and study it carefully...

Well, County Magistrate Chu accidentally caused a lot of problems for the zombie.

A smart person, or... a zombie, understands one truth.

If the time is not ripe, then the best way is to wait, wait for change, and wait for the opportunity to appear!

………………………………………

Two days later.

Hejin County Government and County Magistrate Chu Mo has not slept well these days. As soon as he closes his eyes, those extremely terrifying dead bodies will appear in his mind.

A few days ago, Captain Zhang pulled back more than forty dead bodies. This is the third village that was slaughtered. I have seen more than 100 corpses, no wonder he had nightmares.

In the dream, the corpses would open their eyes and stare at him, and then these zombies would suddenly get up, chase him, chase him, and then bite him, tear him apart...

"Sir, can it be the gangsters do it? Some gangsters are so cruel to kill people." Anchor Lin's mental state is not very good, and he probably doesn't sleep well during this period.

Captain Zhang kept shook his head, "Master Lin, his subordinates think it is unlikely. First, they do not have any scars caused by swords. Second, although the village is in a mess, it has not been looted. If it were done by the bandits, it would not be just to bite these village names to death."

The magistrate of Chu sighed. Captain Zhang’s words were reasonable, but the problem was that if he was not a bandit, who did it!

"Mr. Chu, after visiting a nearby village, my subordinates heard some rumors, but..." said Captain Zhang.

The magistrate Chu looked up at Captain Zhang and said impatiently, "It's just something, Zhang Ye, now that this situation is happening, don't have any worries. Just say what you know."

Captain Zhang took a deep breath. It was not his ink trace. What he heard was too incredible.

"Sir, it's not that my subordinates know the information but do not report it, and I don't know if this news is true."

"Say, say, say!"

"Sir, when I went to these three villages to search for clues, I met two villagers. Both of them were already crazy and kept saying "zombies", "living dead", "resurrection from the dead", "they ate the others" and so on... I originally thought that both of them were crazy, but my subordinates found them in the two places, and their confessions were the same."

"My subordinates have also gone to nearby villages to inquire. The villagers who knew them all said that they were normal before."

"The subordinates think that these two people may have seen something and were scared."

Chu Mo had a look of disgust and fear on his face.

All the zombies are coming out!

"Wait, Zhang Ye, you went to bury two more dead bodies, and then buried next to the cemetery of Panjia Village. Do you see what changes have been made in the cemetery of Panjia Village?"

Captain Zhang shook his head, "Nothing is abnormal."

"That's it. If there were really zombies, there wouldn't even be a sub-coffin when they were buried, they should have come out long ago."

Captain Zhang said respectfully, "Master Lin is boring, and his subordinates are thinking about this. After all, the other two people are in a daze and their confessions may not be credible, so they did not report them. But now rumors are already spreading among the people, and the people around them are also panic."

The magistrate of Chu held his forehead with one hand and frowned.

"I just want to be a leisurely county magistrate, why did I encounter such a thing?" The county magistrate Chu sighed and shook his head impatiently, "This matter is too strange. If the county government can no longer solve the case, people's hearts will be unstable!"

"Zombies? Living Dead? What do you mean by this!"

As he complained, the magistrate of Chu suddenly had an inspiration.

"Hiss~ Yes, why don't we follow the trend and say that it's zombies causing trouble?"

Lin Zhubo looked at the magistrate Chu in surprise and questioned, "Sir, will it cause greater panic on the grounds of zombies' rebellion?"

Chu Mo suddenly sat up from his seat, "Zombies have existed in ancient times, why are you panic? Now we must give the people an explanation, otherwise how can I establish my authority?"

The Chu County Magistrate was still very flexible and he figured out a philosophical issue in that era.

Human fear comes from the unknown!

It is better to locate the murderer as a zombie than to know who did it so far.
