Su Ji frowned slightly, feeling that the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Su Ji walked into the company with a knife but no umbrella and greeted the senior officials of Muhai City Branch one by one.
Then he followed the deputy director of Muhai City Branch, carrying a knife but not an umbrella, to a research room inside the seed industry company.
When we got here, the interior decoration and layout gradually began to look more and more like a seed industry company, but closer to something like a living research institute.
What appeared in front of Su Ji was a human-like creature with its four sides and top made of solid bulletproof glass and enclosed in the middle.
It had the same body and limbs as a human, but its face was as pale as paper, and its two out-of-focus and empty eyes had no brilliance at all.
His two arms were drooped, and his body seemed to be pieced together from countless scattered parts. He swayed as he walked, swaying left and right, as if there were no bones in his body.
"this is not……"
Su Ji opened her eyes slightly.
Because this person looked familiar and his impression was not blurry, Su Ji recognized him at a glance. He was "Sister Step on Me" who was in the same team last night.
As if aware of the arrival of a stranger, your sister stepped on your head and turned it to an angle that was completely inconsistent with the human body's physiological structure, looking at Su Ji outside.
Su Ji suddenly felt a cold sweat break out on her back and the hairs stood on end.
The next moment, the humanoid monster in the bulletproof glass box suddenly let out a huge roar, and then rushed towards Su Ji.
Boom!
Accompanied by a huge vibration, the monster slammed into the glass like an out-of-control pickup truck.
Su Ji's heart skipped a beat, and she almost took a step back unconsciously, but the high-level player with the knife but no umbrella looked particularly calm.
It could be seen that this monster had been making trouble here for a long time before he arrived at the scene.
Su Ji raised her head and looked around again, only to realize that besides her sister stepping on you, there were several similar bulletproof glass houses around her.
There was the same creature locked inside every house. After Su Ji took a closer look, she realized that they were all teammates who had been injured while fighting on the rooftop last night.
"This is……?"
Su Ji's face showed uncertainty.
"right."
Carrying a knife but not an umbrella, he said, "After they were attacked by the Soul-Eating Grass that night, they experienced various discomforts of varying severity when they returned home that night."
"Such as fever, dizziness, headache, nausea... and a series of other phenomena."
"That night, their family and friends took them to the hospital for emergency treatment."
"However, their situation did not improve. On the contrary, it continued to deteriorate and eventually became the out-of-control state it is now."
"But without exception, no hospital could find out the cause of the disease, so it was eventually transferred to our Tianxuan Club."
"But they look like they have all become deadpools, right?" Su Ji said.
The so-called Deadpool naturally refers to the most common and lowest form of creature among the undead.
They generally have a physiological structure that matches the appearance of a certain creature, but in fact they have no ability to think independently and will only follow the instinct of the creature to act and hunt.
It's also called - The Walking Dead.
If we use a more popular term, it would be zombies.
Of course, zombies themselves are nothing to be afraid of.
Although they are [undead] creatures, it does not mean that they are really invincible.
Just like what is described in various movies, TV shows and literary works, to deal with such creatures, you only need to simply shoot them in the head or use other methods to break their brain tissue.
So the creepy thing is not the zombies themselves, but the people who become zombies.
The teammates in front of me turned into Deadpool just because they were bitten by the Soul-Eating Grass.
Once a human becomes a Deadpool, there is almost no way to become a human again.
In other words, this person is actually dead.
Therefore, they sacrificed about five or six teammates in this Soul-Eating Grass Hunting Operation alone.
There was also a resident of Room 804 who was accidentally shot.
Because he happened to live on the top floor, he was brutally attacked by the spirit-devouring grass that adopted the principle of being nearby.
"So this kind of creature actually has the ability to transform a creature into a deadpool?" Su Ji said.
"Yes, it is."
The deputy director said, "We found a document in Weaver Girl's database that is not very old."
"There is indeed a record in it of a black vine-like plant creature. Its shape and habits are very consistent with the Soul-Eating Grass."
Su Ji said: "So why does this thing appear in an ordinary residential building?"
"Because this plant generally grows in places with relatively strong Yin Qi, its ability and speed of growth and reproduction are quite outstanding."
The deputy director said, "In a place where the yin energy is strong enough, even if it is just a broken vine, as long as its internal tissues and everything are intact and it falls into the soil or culture medium, a new foundation will sprout immediately."
"But that place doesn't look like it has a lot of yin energy, does it?" Su Ji said.
"This is exactly the question we need to study next." The other party said, "We are also very confused about this now."
"Actually, I don't quite understand. Is there anything to be confused about?" As soon as the deputy director finished speaking, a girl's voice suddenly came from behind everyone.
Su Ji looked back and saw that it was the girl she had just met yesterday, Gu Li.
The two looked at each other for a brief moment. Su Ji's eyes had a hint of surprise, but Gu Li's looked as if he had expected it.
"The source of the Yin Qi is obviously the owner of No. 804 himself, right?" Gu Li said.
"Xiao Gu, why are you here?" The deputy director looked a little surprised, "If you don't say hello to me in advance, I will be scolded."
"Who dares to scold you for saying such things?" Gu Li said with a smile.
"Your father, who else?" the deputy director said with a helpless smile.
"Don't worry, he listens to his precious daughter the most." Gu Li covered her mouth and chuckled, "If you are really timid, come over and hug my sister's thigh."
The deputy director became even more helpless and simply changed the subject: "What does it have to do with the homeowner No. 804?"
"Hey, are you really too lazy to investigate the life and background of the deceased?"
Gu Li chuckled and said:
"That homeowner——"
"But he is the administrator of the Everlasting Cemetery!"
