Chapter 73: Underground Space

Gu Xiao looked at the zombies going away. The zombies did not sweep the survivors in the building, unless there were survivors outside blocking their way forward.

They were heading straight for the Tao County base, the largest survivor base in the county.

He did not go back to report to Gu Ming about the zombies attacking the official base, because Gu Xiao's task was to investigate the zombies' unusual movements and why there were so few female zombies outside. He did not care whether the official base was safe.

He jumped down from the roof and quickly returned to the parking lot on the second floor of the shopping center. All the zombies inside had followed their boss.

Gu Xiao walked to the car where the Hulk zombie was sitting. Sure enough, he saw a cave on the wall on one side. The hole was three meters high and two meters wide. The passage down was a little sloped. Gu Xiao's eyes turned red. This was the infrared night vision state. He walked down along the passage and soon reached the bottom hole. There was another passage underground, about a hundred meters long. From a distance, he could see that there was a large underground space at the innermost part.

Coming to the entrance of the underground space quietly, Gu Xiao saw many zombies with bulging bellies lying in the underground space.

At a glance, it can be seen that these are pregnant female zombies, and there are more than 10,000 of them.

And there are many human corpses on the ground. Some female zombies who have not slept are eating corpses, just like pregnant women replenishing nutrition.

It's only been three months since the end of the world, why are these pregnant zombies about to give birth? Is it different from the human pregnancy period? The human pregnancy period takes ten months. If the zombie pregnancy period is three months, the number of zombies will only increase in the future, and the future of mankind will be worrying.

Of course, Gu Xiao doesn't care about this kind of thing. He now knows about the abnormal movement of zombies, and he can go back to report to Gu Ming.

What Gu Xiao doesn't know is that the official forces of a big country like Xiaguo knew from the beginning that zombies would get pregnant like mammals.

These zombies seem to have primary intelligence. They will hide the pregnant female zombies well so that humans or mutant beasts can't find them. Little zombies are rare and delicious food for mutant beasts.

Now the state officials have a plan to try to eliminate as many female zombies as possible. After all, if these female zombies give birth every three months, zombies will reproduce like rats, and there will be no room for human survival on the earth.

In addition to the pregnant female zombies, there are many small zombies, which should have been born not long ago.

But their growth rate is too fast. Many of them are a few years old. They are eating human corpses.

Gu Xiao also saw a lot of rats in the underground space. They were gnawing human bones. These were all left by zombies.

The size of the rats is twice as big as before. They should be mutated. I just don’t know why these zombies don’t catch these rats to eat.

Gu Xiao didn’t stay in the underground space for long and soon returned to the ground.

Outside, he saw some survivors taking advantage of the gap left by the zombie group. Most of the survivors were smart and ran into the supermarket in the shopping mall to collect food.

Ignoring their surprised looks, these people were all survivors nearby. They all knew Gu Xiao, the tough guy. The scene of Gu Xiao fighting with the Hulk zombie just now left a deep impression on them. No one came to provoke him. They all hid far away when they saw him, as if Gu Xiao was some kind of beast.

Gu Xiao ran away from the shopping mall directly. He didn't go to see how the zombie group attacked the official base. He just met sporadic zombies on the road, killed them, and then dug out the brain core.

What Gu Xiao didn't know was that when he left the county, the zombies in the entire county were basically summoned outside the official base by the Hulk zombie. There were zombies everywhere in the official base, and the number of zombies had reached 200,000.

It's not that no one didn't want to escape. Some survivors ignored others' obstruction and drove their relatives out by force. It's just that they didn't walk for long before they met the zombie group. They couldn't move after knocking down more than a dozen zombies. The wheels were stuck by the zombies' bodies. Soon, the zombies broke the glass and bit them to death and turned them into food, which made the people standing on the wall of the base sweat.

Once the number of people exceeds 10,000, it is boundless, not to mention that there are 200,000 zombies besieging the official base now. Everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before the base is breached.

The county leaders have reported the situation to the higher-ups, but the rescue from the higher-ups is too late. Even if they arrive at the fastest speed, they may not even see their bodies.

The county leaders know that the base cannot be saved, so they just want to report the perverted zombie king like the Hulk to the higher-ups and let the people above notify other bases to pay attention to this kind of zombies.

I hope other bases will learn lessons. The evolution of zombies is too fast, and there are also such things as zombie kings leading zombie groups to attack human bases. I don’t know if humans still have hope, the leaders of Tao County thought desperately.

The walls of the official base are full of guards. In addition to armed personnel, there are also many survivors of the base. Everyone knows that if they don’t stand up and fight to the death now, if the base is breached, everyone will die.

“Have you contacted other small bases?”

The leader of the county management committee stood on the wall and asked his subordinates. He looked at the Hulk zombie in the distance. It was the first time he saw such an evolved zombie. You have to know that this county is only a fifth-tier city in Xiaguo, with a population of only 200,000. Just think of those super first-tier cities with a population of tens of millions. I don’t know how the mutant zombies there have evolved. Is there any hope for mankind?

"No."

The subordinate answered a little frustrated. Everyone around knew that no one nearby would come to rescue, and the people above were too far away to rescue in time. The main reason was that the plane did not dare to take off. The sky is now dominated by mutant birds. It is easy for airplanes to be attacked by mutant birds when flying in the sky.

"Take all the children on the bus, and send some people out. Let as many as possible escape."

The leader hopes to let as many children escape as possible. There are not many buses in the base. Many buses are from the original passenger station. The main attack direction of the zombies is the main gate.

When the base is breached later, there will be a bulldozer at the front of the bus convoy to lead the way, so there is a great chance to rush out.

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

The leader's trusted subordinate also had a child, so he immediately responded and turned to leave the wall. Now time was running out.

Some of the officials' eyes were wandering, and the leader knew what they were thinking, so he said to them.

"You are all state cadres, don't have any ideas, I will stay here with you all the time."

Seeing that the zombie group outside was about to attack, some people couldn't help but turn around and leave.

"Bang--"

The gunshots rang out, and the military and police who were signaled by the leader to flee were shot and killed. Now no one dared to move.

"Roar--"

The Hulk zombie made an attacking sound, and the zombie group rushed over like a torrent.

The guards on the wall with guns started shooting, and those without guns threw stones directly, flying towards the zombies like flowers scattered by fairies, and the tragic zombie siege began.
