Chapter 66 The Female Zombie with an Archery Skill (2)

The entire morning's broadcasts were filled with news of the fall of large government security bases across the country, which was very demoralizing. Gu Nanfeng started tuning the radio again, this time wanting to hear about the situation abroad. He finally found a channel with sound and stopped.

The string of birdsong left Yang Xiao feeling drowsy. It was already noon, and he was already feeling extremely sleepy from the sunlight filtering through the curtains. Then, he encountered the birdsong that he hated most in his life, and he immediately started yawning.

Yawning is contagious, and Pei Sihao, who was playing a single-player game by the window to pass the time, also started yawning repeatedly.

"...Primates have shown signs of zombification. We...discovered a gorilla in a zombie state..." The signal from the foreign channel was not very good and was intermittent, so Gu Nanfeng only heard the gist of it.

"The gorillas have turned into zombies?" Pei Sihao, whose English was quite good, immediately snapped to attention upon hearing this. "So, animals are starting to turn into zombies too?"

“This should be the general trend,” Gu Nanfeng analyzed. “I felt it was strange that the animals were being controlled by the zombies. Maybe they wanted to wait until the animals could also become zombies before launching a large-scale attack on humans.”

"Even if those large birds of prey are uncoordinated, they could still kill a person with a single slap." Yang Xiao roughly understood what the foreign radio broadcast was saying based on Pei Sihao's words. Just thinking about gorilla zombies, one slap and a person would be gone, let alone turning into a zombie.

"If it's available overseas, then maybe it will be available in China soon," Pei Sihao pondered.

"It might already be there, in H Province..." Gu Nanfeng thought of the H Province broadcast that morning, "Highly aggressive wild animals..."

To avoid causing widespread panic, the Chinese government usually releases information in a rather subtle way. After thinking for a moment, Gu Nanfeng went downstairs and made a phone call to Pei Simin in Beijing.

During the call, Pei Simin not only informed him that animals were indeed turning into zombies, but also shared the latest forecasts from Beijing. One was the meteorological department's latest climate prediction, which indicated that winter would begin directly in October. The other was that a meteor shower was expected in the near future.

No one had deliberately observed the meteor shower before. It was only because an astronomy enthusiast at the Beijing base was chatting with someone in the cafeteria one day that scientists had predicted a grand Geminid meteor shower in September or October of this year, which would be visible to the naked eye. He was really looking forward to it at the time, but then the zombie virus broke out, and he didn't know if he would still be able to see it.

Pei Siji, who was eating in the same cafeteria, overheard this and told his older brother Pei Simin when he got back to the dormitory. The two brothers were also very perceptive, so they specifically asked their colleagues in the astronomy department to observe it. It was indeed going to be a meteor shower, roughly at the end of September or the beginning of October. However, because the equipment at the base was not yet complete, they could not predict the exact time.

In short, they all believe that the meteor shower will have an impact on the zombie virus, but what kind of impact it will have is currently impossible to guess. They have simply sent an emergency notice to all the remaining safe bases.

Just then, Gu Nanfeng called, so he reminded them that since they weren't at the safe base, they still needed to be careful.

In the afternoon, it was Pei Sihao's turn to be on duty. He saw the female zombie with the bow and arrow twice more through his binoculars. The first time was near the townhouses, where it was taking pictures of several windows and rooftops, just like it had in the morning on their side. The second time was in a small activity square in the center of the community. It stood there motionless for about ten minutes, its gaze still fixed on the townhouses. It had probably found the person who had attracted it there yesterday.

"This female zombie is very different from the one in the suit at the hotel." Gu Nanfeng went downstairs to prepare dinner, and Yang Xiao went to help. Lu Yuan, who had just woken up, saw that Pei Sihao was the only one left on the third floor, so he took a bag of potato chips and sat down next to him to chat.

"Hmm? What's different?" Lu Yuan felt that all the level 2 zombies he had seen were the same; they would all stare at him.

“The zombie in the suit has always been secretive. Even though we bombed its ranks twice and it hates us so much, it still plots in secret.” Pei Sihao took the potato chips Lu Yuan handed him and continued, “But this female zombie is different. After it discovered us, it came over immediately, and just now it was standing brazenly in the middle of the square.”

"She must have been a very unique girl when she was alive," Pei Sihao remarked at the end.

"Is he the kind of girl you would pursue?" Lu Yuan asked casually. He remembered that before the virus outbreak, Pei Sihao was pursuing the new school beauty at another school. It seemed that he liked girls. Although he had also heard that Pei Sihao had pursued a boy at another school, he was now increasingly certain that Pei Sihao was not the one from that night.

"That depends on looks." Pei Sihao curled his lip indifferently. "After all, I'm a sucker for good looks."

"Then you must really like Brother Gu, Brother Hao." Lu Yuan thought of everyone he knew. Pei Sihao was undoubtedly the best-looking. Gu Nanfeng was also good-looking, but a bit more assertive than Pei Sihao. You could say he was handsome.

“Uh…” Pei Sihao, whose little thoughts had been inadvertently exposed by Lu Yuan, paused for a moment without making a sound. He turned back and adjusted the binoculars again, observing the outside world. He then changed the subject, “Go downstairs and see if Brother Feng has finished cooking. I’m starving.”

"Alright!" Unaware of Pei Sihao's little scheme, Lu Yuan put away the unfinished potato chips, clapped his hands, and went downstairs.

Gu Nanfeng made a simple dinner, but it was nutritious and tasted good. He woke up Zhong Qiang, who was still sleeping, and the group ate several bowls of rice.

During dinner, Pei Sihao told everyone about the female zombie he saw that afternoon. When he mentioned that it had been standing in the small garden for more than ten minutes, Gu Nanfeng judged that something might happen tonight.

So after finishing their meal and cleaning up, the five of them went up to the third floor to watch. Lu Yuan always carried the portable binoculars he gave them, so they took the binoculars and waited on the third floor.

Since they weren't being chased by the zombies this time, they were less afraid. They even felt a little schadenfreude towards the person who had deliberately harmed others last night, since those who do evil will eventually perish.

It wasn't until almost midnight that Gu Nanfeng, who was on the first night shift, saw through the telescope that the zombies from the detached villa from the previous night were all coming out...

The remaining four quickly grabbed their binoculars and looked in that direction. Not only the zombies that had gathered at the villa yesterday, but also other zombies that had been hiding in the villa area came out. There were no large wild animals around, so the animal army was not very obvious.

Something suddenly flashed past Lu Yuan's binoculars. He exclaimed "Huh?" and put down the binoculars to rub his eyes. But as soon as he put down the binoculars, he saw through the small gap in the curtains that the bluish-purple-skinned female zombie with an arrow was standing on the glass roof of their first floor.

Seemingly sensing Lu Yuan's gaze from the third floor, the female zombie glanced back in his direction, her eyes still showing only the whites without pupils. Zhong Qiang, standing next to Lu Yuan, accidentally tilted his binoculars, revealing the female zombie's face directly to him. He exclaimed in shock, "Why is it always me whose face is so close to mine!"

This was the second time Zhong Qiang had been hit face-to-face with a zombie. This time it was better because the zombie was using binoculars to get close to his face; otherwise, he might have passed out.

Hearing Zhong Qiang's words, everyone craned their necks to look at the glass roof on the first floor. The female zombie was no longer standing; instead, she was sitting on the edge of the eaves. She had taken down her bow and arrows and placed them aside. Her hands were supporting her on the eaves, her legs dangling naturally, swaying back and forth, and a gentle breeze was blowing through her hair. If you ignored her bluish-purple skin and only looked at her from behind, she did indeed have the beauty of a high school girl under the starry sky.

Unfortunately, it was a zombie...
