Standing at the door, Zhang Fan bent his knees and jumped over the three-meter-high obstacle, successfully entering the villa area.
The green belt that was originally in the villa area has now become extremely lush. The weeds and bushes have grown to more than three meters, covering the fence and making it difficult to see clearly.
After walking a few steps further inside, I found that these green belts showed signs of being cleaned up. On the outermost circle on both sides of the internal roads, you could clearly see that a layer of weeds had been cut with a knife.
These signs further confirmed Zhang Fan's conjecture that there were survivors here.
These grass bushes are not too high and cannot breed powerful mutant creatures, so Zhang Fan still walks relatively fast.
Soon, he came to the first villa, but before he got close, he smelled an unpleasant smell.
This smell is very familiar. It is similar to the smell that I smelled in the toilet of Jiang Weiwei's room. It belongs to human excrement.
"Damn, these people can really stay here..."
Zhang Fan cursed secretly, tore off a piece of his sleeve, made a simple mask and put it on before stepping into the villa.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw a bald man lying on the ground with his back turned.
Zhang Fan paused, slowly pulled out the knife, looked around to make sure that no one else was ambush, and then gently approached.
When I walked up to the man, I realized that he was already dying.
His hair had long since fallen out, his face was dull and sallow, and his lips were blue and purple, as if he had been poisoned.
Looking at this man's body again, his limbs are emaciated and his flesh and blood are gone, as if his blood has been sucked dry by some creature.
Parasite?!
Zhang Fan could tell at a glance the man's condition, which was that he had been penetrated by a mutated parasite that grew among weeds.
This man's condition has obviously been parasitized for several days, his life source has been exhausted, and he has already entered the underworld with half a foot.
"Hey, are you still alive?!" Zhang Fan asked in a serious voice, standing one meter away.
With this sound, the man's dull eyes gradually regained some sanity.
He glanced at Zhang Fan and his lips moved slightly: "...wife...Hao Tian..."
Zhang Fan only heard two terms, and before he could ask anything else, the man's eyes in front of him completely darkened.
The originally sallow face became more vivid in color at this moment.
died!
Zhang Fan was used to seeing dead people and was very aware of the changes in this man.
"You want to tell me to save his wife Hao Tian?!"
Zhang Fan shook his head, didn't stay long, shouted twice in the house, but got no response, then left and walked towards another villa.
Soon, he came to the second villa. It was slightly better than the previous one, but when he got closer, he felt the same strong smell.
Holding back his nausea, Zhang Fan opened the door and shouted again to make sure no one was there, and then continued walking to the next villa.
After walking to the fifth villa and approaching the door, he didn't smell a similar odor again. Zhang Fan's eyes lit up and he quickly pushed the door open.
Sure enough, on the first floor of the house, there was a man sleeping soundly.
On the ground, there are some green weeds scattered everywhere.
Taking a closer look, there was some green juice between the man's fingernails.
Having been enslaved by Chang Xu, Zhang Fan had often dealt with weeds and knew that this man was the weeder outside.
Just when Zhang Fan was about to wake up the man, suddenly, another thin middle-aged man came down the stairs.
Their eyes met, and the middle-aged man was startled, with some confusion on his face, and said: "Who are you?"
"I came from somewhere else, are you two the only ones here?!"
As soon as Zhang Fan finished speaking, the man looked shocked and said, "Are you from outside?!"
"Oh my God, there are so many zombies outside, how did you get in?!"
"Li Tao, who are you talking to?"
At this time, there was another voice coming from upstairs.
At the same time, the man who was sleeping on the sofa in the living room also woke up.
"Come down quickly, come down quickly, there are outsiders!"
The man on the stairs shouted and stood in the middle of the stairs, looking at Zhang Fan with an anxious look on his face, neither running away nor going downstairs.
Soon, more than a dozen men came down from upstairs, most of them middle-aged. After seeing Zhang Fan, they were frightened and surprised, with different reactions. The only thing that was the same was that they were all gathered in the stairwell.
There is no complete step down.
"Have you ever killed a zombie?" a middle-aged man asked slightly nervously.
Zhang Fan nodded. He was somewhat familiar with the reactions of these people. He roughly understood the situation here and said, "Is there anyone else here?!"
Everyone looked at each other with different expressions, but no one spoke.
Finally, the man standing at the front, after hesitating for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes!"
Zhang Fan continued: "They enslaved you?!"
"yes!"
At this time, someone couldn't help but interjected: "If he can come in from the outside, he can escape. Otherwise, escape with him?!"
"Run away, there are zombies outside, where can you run away?!"
"But staying here all the time is not an option..."
Listening to these messy words, Zhang Fan understood that the situation here was similar to what he thought. He was too lazy to pay attention to their little thoughts and asked directly:
"You guys are here, do you know of any strange mutant beasts?"
"Mutated beast?!"
"Are they the kind of bugs that burrow into people's mouths?!"
"Yes, it's the kind that gets into Ma Haibin's mouth..."
Seeing that Zhang Fan was an outsider and was acting relatively kindly so far, the people on the stairs also relaxed their vigilance and walked down one by one, chatting in all directions.
After asking several times in a row, I couldn't get any useful information. These people had never even been out of the villa, let alone seen any large mutant beasts.
This gave Zhang Fan a headache. Before setting off, the best result he expected was that the mutated beast with the components of his other Barbarian King would be entrenched in the villa area. In this way, he only needed to defeat it by raiding it.
It seems that we have to look for it slowly...
Zhang Fan sighed and then began to ask for other information.
"How many people are there besides you?"
After getting to know more, he learned that in addition to these dozen men, there were seven men and eight women living in the center of the villa area.
Just as Zhang Fan thought, the seven men were outsiders with ruthless methods and guns. They killed the survivors who resisted and enslaved the remaining people. The women were also robbed.
What these people are asked to do all day long is basically to keep weeding, collect supplies from other villas, and stack them in the central area.
An old man with a new scar on his face, maybe he couldn't bear it, and said: "Young man, since you have the ability to survive outside, you'd better leave as soon as possible. They are devils. If they know you are coming, they will definitely kill you."
If you leave them, some torture will be inevitable..."
"What I want to know, even if it's a devil, I have to answer it first before I die!"
Zhang Fan smiled calmly, and under the horrified gazes of everyone, he walked out and walked towards the central area where the group of people were staying.
