Later, when a power ball came, Zhang Fan saw with his own eyes that the power ball was floating in front of the zombies. The zombie's hand passed through the power ball, but the power ball was not absorbed by the zombies.
Only then did Zhang Fan know that the emergence of zombie mutants was not due to the power ball, but for other reasons.
Later, this phenomenon was quickly confirmed by more people.
Be it zombies or mutant beasts.
They all obtain their abilities by cannibalizing their own kind!
Now, in the university town, Zhang Fan did not find a single zombie mutant in the two universities he visited.
I have found some outside the campus, but they are not very dangerous or difficult to deal with.
If the situation remains the same in the next investigation, then cleaning up the university town may be an extremely simple task for Zhang Fan!
"Let's go! Go to the next school!"
Zhang Fan said and jumped towards a building in the distance!
Others are not far behind!
According to Qiao Ran's drawing plan, they walked northwest until they reached the western end of the university town, then circled southwest back to the University of Finance and Economics in the east.
In this way, all the universities in the university town have been explored, and Qiao Ran can also draw a map of the university town!
For Zhang Fan, the main purpose of this investigation is to prepare for the clearing of the university town!
Secondly, Zhang Fan is also inspecting this place.
Is it suitable to build a campground?
The subsequent exploration was almost not difficult. Zhang Fan and his team spent a shorter time to explore all the universities in the university town.
The result is that no zombie mutants have been found in any colleges!
This is undoubtedly good news!
Even when Luo Kai and Zhao Qiang passed by a smaller college, they were eager to clean up the zombies directly!
Of course Zhang Fan rejected both of them.
Not to mention that the two of them may be a little too arrogant, thinking that facing ordinary zombies, they can easily deal with them with their own abilities without any accidents!
"At any time, underestimating the enemy or being arrogant may bring disaster to oneself!"
"You two represent Team Pozhu's strongest combat capability, and you should know this better than anyone else!"
After Zhang Fan lectured, Luo Kai and Zhao Qiang could only bow their heads obediently.
Zhang Fan looked at Qiao Ran.
"How's your drawing going?"
Qiao Ran answered while looking at his marks everywhere on the drawing.
"Lord Huiman King, I have written down the general terrain route, as well as how many zombies there are in each place and what types they are. But there are still a few places in the university town that we have not yet explored!"
"Where else?" Zhang Fan asked.
"In the center of the university town, there is a park square, and there are several shopping malls in the rest. These are the only places we haven't visited yet!"
Zhang Fan nodded, "Okay, let's start from the nearest one!"
After Zhang Fan said this, he asked Qiao Ran to lead the way.
"Zombie mutations are very likely to appear in these places, so everyone should be more careful!"
Chen Ming reminded.
Qiao Ran first chose a supermarket building that was closer!
I originally wanted to jump from the air so as not to encounter the zombies on the ground.
But when Qiao Ran jumped upstairs and looked towards the roof of the destination building, he suddenly discovered several mutant zombies!
"Lord Barbarian King! Look over there!"
Qiao Ran pointed his finger at it, and Zhang Fan naturally saw it too!
"Is that our next destination?"
Zhang Fan asked while observing the zombie mutants opposite.
Qiao Ran nodded and returned in a low voice.
"Yes, that's the largest supermarket in the university town, and it's also an important supply point for us!"
Luo Kai was confused.
"How did those zombies get on the roof? Can they go directly to the roof from the supermarket?"
Zhang Fan replied calmly.
"Look at those zombies. Their limbs are obviously longer than other zombies. They should be reptiles among zombie mutants. They can climb walls, and it is certainly easy for them to get to the top of a building!"
Zhang Fan said, looking downstairs at the street.
After just one glance, I couldn't help but be shocked!
The others noticed that Zhang Fan's expression was different, and they also stuck their heads out and looked down.
You don’t know this by looking at it, you’ll be shocked when you see it!
Even Chen Ming took a breath of cold air.
"what happened?!!"
Everyone was surprised...
The zombies seen on the street above are all mutants!
"This... why are the mutants gathered here for a meeting..."
Luo Kai opened his mouth wide and said in surprise.
"We haven't seen many mutant species in other places, so why are they all concentrated here?"
Chen Ming didn't understand either.
"Is there anything special about the environment here? Why are they all mutants?"
Qiao Ran was also confused.
"No, this is just an ordinary shopping mall! The people who visit this shopping mall are teachers and students from nearby!"
Luo Kai stared, "Since we are all the same people, how come they behave like zombies in school, but mutate when they come out?"
Qiao Ran shook his head.
Zhao Qiang said tentatively.
"Is this... because the campus environment is different from the outside environment... things that cannot be done in the campus environment... can be done outside..."
Luo Kai pouted.
"This is too ridiculous! How can there be such a truth!"
Zhang Fan carefully looked at the zombies in this area.
In addition to the common giant zombies and crawling zombies, there are other types of zombies.
After looking around and finding no intelligent zombies, Zhang Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what kind of mutant zombie it is, even if it is a little difficult to deal with, it can be dealt with with the current strength of the psychics in the west of the city!
But if there are intelligent zombies, it will be enough for Zhang Fan to have a headache!
Zhang Fan has only encountered one intelligent zombie so far!
Different from the mindless attacks of ordinary zombies, the attacks of intelligent zombies are more purposeful and often more effective!
They are very aware of their own advantages and also very aware of their shortcomings as humans!
Not only that, they can also drive other zombies around them to attack!
The first time Zhang Fan encountered this type of zombie, he almost suffered a loss!
Not only was the opponent strong, he even mobilized the surrounding zombies to besiege Zhang Fan!
While other zombies were besieging Zhang Fan, he was waiting for Zhang Fan to reveal a flaw before attacking unexpectedly!
If Zhang Fan hadn't turned on the invincible mode, he might really have been defeated by intelligent zombies!
And the way to distinguish between ordinary zombies and intelligent zombies is also very simple!
Just look into their eyes!
Ordinary zombies have dull eyes, and many even have no eyes at all!
When they hear some noise, their first reaction is usually to turn their head or body first, but their eyes will not move!
But intelligent zombies are different!
Their eyes will follow the objects!
You may even feel that this type of zombie still has a human soul in its body!
This is also scary!
Zhang Fan repeatedly looked at the zombie group several times to confirm that there were no intelligent zombies.
After all, if there are intelligent zombies here, what they can drive are not ordinary zombies that are easy to deal with, but mutant zombies!
This is no less than a powerful zombie army!
Zhang Fanke doesn’t want to fight head-on with such a zombie army!
"Qiao Ran, please mark here carefully!"
Zhang Fan ordered.
Qiao Ran nodded.
"Yes! Lord Barbarian King!"
Then take out the drawings and mark them on the map.
Luo Kai spoke again.
"Lord Barbarian King, this is a street. Are these zombies wandering throughout the university town?"
"Probably not." Zhang Fan could only give a vague answer.
Because indeed, he himself doesn’t know it either!
"No!" Chen Ming said at this time.
Everyone looked at Chen Ming, who explained.
"It's like this. If there is no specific target, zombies generally have no sense of direction. They will only wander within a few meters of the same place."
"So, as long as nothing attracts the attention of these zombies, they will always be here! Even if they wander around, they won't go too far!"
After Chen Ming finished speaking, the others nodded in understanding.
Chen Ming added.
"Of course, this only applies to the currently known zombie swarms! However, there are many strange phenomena in the zombie swarms in the university town. We can't be sure whether they are like what we learned before..."
Zhang Fan said in a deep voice.
"None of these are important. What is important is that there are indeed many mutant zombies in the university town. So our strategy must be adjusted accordingly!"
After Zhang Fan finished speaking, he looked at Qiao Ran again.
"Is this place marked?"
Qiao Ran nodded.
"Marked!"
Zhang Fan asked again, "Is there any way for us to bypass here and get to our next destination from other places?"
Qiao Ran thought for a while and nodded.
"Yes! But I will go back a little bit!"
Zhang Fan said firmly.
"Then take a detour!"
Qiao Ran nodded, "This way!"
"Be careful! Don't alert the zombies here!"
Zhang Fan warned him again and again, and everyone else naturally cheered up.
Under the leadership of Qiao Ran, a group of people jumped onto the roof of the building and walked along the wall.
Finally bypassing the large supermarket crowded with mutated zombies, we arrived at the square in the center of the university town.
Unlike other places that were full of zombies, after Zhang Fan and his party entered the square, they were a little surprised to find that there seemed to be no smell of zombies here...
Zhang Fan still cautiously asked everyone to explore the surrounding area.
After returning, everyone reported that they had indeed encountered no zombies.
"Maybe it's because there are no people here, so zombies don't come here!"
Qiao Ran thought for a while and explained.
"This square used to be used by couples on campus. The square itself is nothing special. Although it is very big, it is mostly covered with grass and shrubs. There is an artificial lake in the center of the square."
When Zhang Fan heard this, he thought of another possibility and raised his eyes to ask Qiao Ran.
"Is the artificial lake you mentioned far from here?"
Qiao Ran replied.
"It's not far, just go through the forest in front and you'll be there!"
Zhang Fan looked at the dark forest in front of him and thought for a moment.
"Let's go take a look at the lake in front."
Zhang Fan said, "But be careful! I suspect there are no zombies here, maybe because there are other creatures..."
Chen Ming also took over Zhang Fan's words and said.
"Lord Barbarian King, do you suspect that there are mutant beasts here?"
Zhang Fan nodded.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out!"
As he spoke, he looked around.
"Compared to the urban environment just now, this place is obviously closer to the environment where mutant beasts exist!"
After Zhang Fan said this, everyone also felt that this possibility existed, and looked around cautiously.
"Let's go!"
Zhang Fan said and took the lead to walk forward.
Others followed suit.
After all, it is a square built by man. Even though it looks like a dense forest outside, there is still a path paved with stones in the forest.
If you follow this path, you should be able to walk out of the woods and reach the lake!
After Zhang Fan and others entered the forest, they felt a different aura...
Zhang Fan was cautious about his left and right while slowly walking forward.
The university town was recently built, but the trees here are as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and they are so lush that they cover up the sky!
Qiao Ran was also surprised as he walked.
Said to himself, "Strange..."
Luo Kai followed Qiao Ran and asked.
"What's so strange about it?"
Qiao Ran frowned.
"I remember that this kind of tree was not planted here before..."
When Luo Kai heard Qiao Ran say this, when he passed a tree, he reached out and touched the trunk!
But the moment he touched the tree trunk, the dense thorns that suddenly grew out of the tree trunk pricked his palm with fine drops of blood!
Luo Kai was in pain, screamed and immediately took his hand back!
Zhang Fan looked back and saw Luo Kai breathing in. When he opened his palm again, a large piece of skin on his palm was gone!
"Everyone, be careful! Stay away from the tree trunks!"
Chen Ming said immediately, and then quickly came to Luo Kai.
Luo Kai was in so much pain that he started to sweat coldly!
The palms of my hands are also bloody!
"Everyone be on alert! Chen Ming, please give Luo Kai emergency treatment first!"
Of course Chen Ming immediately took out the medical kit, took out the alcohol and poured it directly into Luo Kai's palm!
Luo Kai immediately gasped in pain!
My hands started to tremble too!
After Chen Ming briefly disinfected Luo Kai's palm, he put one of his hands on Luo Kai's injured hand!
As soon as Chen Ming activated his skill, a ball of white light appeared between their hands.
After a while, Luo Kai felt that the burning pain in his palms was relieved a lot.
After a while, Chen Ming removed his hand and could see that there was no more blood on Luo Kai's palm.
Chen Ming took out some more medicine and applied it to the injured area of Luo Kai's palm, and then applied it with healing tape.
"Let's deal with it like this first!"
Chen Ming said, Luo Kai also nodded.
"It's okay, skin injury."
Chen Ming took out another pill.
"We're not sure yet whether this tree is poisonous or not. Just to be on the safe side, take the antidote first."
Of course Luo Kai had no objection and took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
Zhang Fan is already studying the tree trunk that just "swallowed" Luo Kai!
The peeled flesh of Luo Kai's palm that was originally attached to the tree trunk had long since disappeared, leaving only a faint red blood mark on the tree trunk!
And the blood mark is still slowly disappearing...
It's like penetrating into the trunk of a tree!
"Lord Barbarian King, we are still not sure whether this tree will actively attack, otherwise we should retreat first!"
