Chapter 696 The Story of the Village
Because everyone is talking about what happened in this village, which was also caused by those two weird zombies.
As someone who is very familiar with this area, Ding Jie has of course heard some rumors about this place before.
At that time, the apocalypse had not yet happened, and he had already heard some rumors about this place.
Some people say that this village has bad feng shui, so there have been a lot of strange rumors since a long time ago.
Some people say that this place will be haunted, some say that zombies will appear here, and some even say that in order to maintain the stability of the village's feng shui, some sacrificial activities will be held regularly here.
Of course, these are all rumors, and no one has ever seen with their own eyes any sacrificial activities held in this village.
But from what Zhou Hao said just now, it is basically certain that there may be sacrificial activities.
They haven't seen it with their own eyes.
What happened here is very similar to what I heard before.
Only then did Ding Jie tell a story he had heard.
He told everyone that he had heard from the elderly at home that there was a place near the mountain base where one was not allowed to come at night.
It is said that because many people were buried in this place and the grievances were deep, they did not dare to come here again at night, as they might encounter some dangerous things.
But at that time, everyone thought it was the older generation of personnel who were scaring children. What’s more, there were many cities and villages near the mountainous base. No one knew which one it was, so there was no exact address, just an approximate address. Location, naturally not many people believe it.
This also leads to this thing being regarded as a story.
When the apocalypse happened, many things changed. Unseen zombies had appeared. Just now I heard Zhou Hao describe the strangeness of the two zombies, as if a dead person had turned into a zombie.
This made Ding Jie think of the story he heard from the old man before.
But the reason for that story is just that the feng shui of this village is not good, as if no animal can live long.
And could this situation be related to the fact that mutant beasts cannot get close to this place?
Wang Yu felt that the mutant beasts did not dare to approach here, and Zhang Zeliang subconsciously knew that there was an energy layer here.
But the question is, if Southern Science and Technology City really places experimental equipment here and uses it as an experimental location, what is its purpose?
Logically speaking, if the device is placed in a large city, the effect will be better. If it is placed in this village with no people, it will definitely not be a production phenomenon.
Therefore, based on the previous conjectures, one can guess from the story Ding Jie told that it may not be the Southern Science and Technology City that placed something here, but that the village has a strange terrain, or there is something buried underneath. That led to this strange change.
In fact, Zhou Hao didn't want to deal with this phenomenon, because it had nothing to do with what he wanted to investigate.
It is enough to know that the way the strange zombies appeared was not intentional, but an unexpected coincidence.
But I didn't expect that there would be no mutated beasts in this village. It might be the strange terrain here, or the effect of something.
Zhou Hao still has great interest in his heart.
If this kind of thing was not formed naturally by some equipment in Southern Science and Technology City, Zhou Hao actually still wanted to take a look and find out.
If it is really something naturally formed that prevents mutant beasts from approaching this village, can it also be brought to Binhai City in this way to give Binhai City an extra layer of protection?
In fact, the current defense measures around Binhai City are very high, with tall city walls, woods that can drive away zombies, and devices on the sea that constantly attract zombies into the sea, and the sea has also become one of the barriers.
Overall, the safety factor in Binhai City is much higher than other places.
But if this method can be added, using this naturally formed special object to prevent mutant beasts from getting close is also a measure to strengthen defense.
After thorough research, the function of this thing can be changed. If it was impossible to keep mutant beasts close before, I wonder if it can be improved so that zombies can't get close.
Zhou Hao also got news from the mouth of the mysterious energy. The situation of zombies attacking the city will definitely not only happen a few times, but will happen again in the future.
Just like the number of zombies in the wilderness is decreasing now, there were so many before the end of the world, and then the number of zombies decreased sharply. These zombies will never be eaten by people if they go there.
Those zombies, if removed by hunters, will leave traces on the ground.
But these zombies are slowly decreasing, and they don’t know where they went. Judging from the edge base in the no-man’s land, they are probably gathering somewhere and planning something.
Therefore, the progress and investigation of the matter must be cautious and fast, and everything must be considered to bring greater defensive measures to Binhai City. Therefore, Zhou Hao decided to find out the situation this time.
It's dark now, and you can't see clearly what's going on around you. If you want to investigate, one night may be enough on your own.
However, I thought that the night was for everyone to rest, and we would still be driving tomorrow and the next day, so I stopped for the time being.
It would be good if something special could be found in the village tomorrow morning. With more people and strength, there would be no need to worry about the emergence of zombies from the underground.
Having made up his mind, Zhou Hao asked everyone to have a good rest tonight and talk about it in the morning.
It was very warm inside the house that night. Although the sound of wind outside indicated that it was very cold, luckily everyone had lit a fire to keep warm during the weekend, so the house was still quite warm.
The next morning, everyone had a rare and comfortable sleep and felt very good. It was just bright outside, and there were frost flowers on the windows, which showed how big the temperature difference between inside and outside was.
As for things like frost flowers, many people have not seen them for a long time in the apocalypse and miss them very much.
Everyone came out together in the morning and didn't find anything strange around them.
But Zhou Hao thought that there must be a reason why the village would not let the mutated beasts get close. Since there is an energy layer, it is necessary to take a look at where the center of the energy layer is.
After calculation and perception, the range of the energy layer is approximately in the middle of the village.
The village built a small square there, which was usually a place where villagers lived and chatted. After the apocalypse, there was a lot of blood on the square, which shows how tragic it was at that time.
The clothes, shoes, and household items scattered around also proved how panicked everyone was when they were escaping.
Looking at the messy environment at the scene, everyone felt emotional. This is proof of the tragic scene when the apocalypse occurs.
But here, before Zhou Hao saw anything strange, Zhang Zeliang already had a special feeling.
He found that there seemed to be something wrong with the materials used in the village square.
