"Hello everyone, I am Bell Grills. Due to living in the outskirts, we only recently learned about the changes happening in India. Taking this opportunity, I will provide some on-site guidance on how to protect yourself to the greatest extent in such a predicament." After adjusting the camera, the rather handsome middle-aged man with brown hair flashed a bright smile at the lens.
"Due to the differing current situations, there are some actions that you cannot all imitate. For example, the entity known as a Licker, although it was killed by Kevin, ordinary people must still stay as far away as possible. Now, let's get to the point. We just learned from a Survivor that several villages nearby have been occupied by those Virus Carriers. What we need to do now is to observe closely."
Meanwhile, in a village filled with the stench of blood and decay, several shadows flickered within a relatively intact house. "Prey with potential companions? And three at once?" One figure, towering at least two meters tall, spoke with a harsh metallic scraping voice.
"Although Lickers are low-tier entities and somewhat foolish, their combat abilities cannot be denied. Being able to take down opponents head-on demonstrates their strength. If they can absorb fresh blood and evolve, your position might not be secure anymore," another figure with an alluring presence added in a seductive tone, her voice igniting a primal urge.
"Hmph, as long as they have that kind of strength, they can take my position. Compared to the number of humans, our existence is far too scarce. With such a large population base here and such convenient conditions, we must seize this opportunity! Heh heh, our organization's high-level combat power has suffered heavy losses recently; this is our chance to rise. Low-level Infected Entities are everywhere, but we must not let any potential companions slip away!"
The towering figure spoke with an air of arrogance, seemingly unafraid that anyone could challenge his status.
"However, we cannot underestimate the peak human warriors; we must demonstrate absolute power to capture them alive. Many companions have died at the hands of humans," another somewhat ordinary figure added calmly.
"Indeed." "Agreed."
In Kanpur City
"Huh? Has anyone seen them? They made some supplies and then left the city again?" Upon hearing the news from the local thugs, Yang Xiaoyou pressed his forehead in frustration.
The attire and professions of those three were relatively obvious. With money paving the way and assistance from these local thugs, Yang Xiaoyou quickly received some useful information.
It was just that he was reluctant to hear this news; at such a time like this, they were being too diligent. With their outdoor survival skills, after resupplying once, they could probably wander outside for half a month before returning.
By then, it would be too late.
"This is your share; now bring me that fellow who saw them," Yang Xiaoyou said coldly after handing over a stack of rewards.
Situated in the Ganges River basin, Kanpur has vast fertile land. However, it should be harvest season now; most places appeared quite desolate.
The overgrown weeds looked pitifully bleak.
"Ugh..." In a tangle of weeds lay a corpse with multiple areas rotting away; its cheeks were so decayed that even the jawbone was fully exposed, looking extremely gruesome. Only its arms occasionally twitched; it was clearly on its last breath.
As it struggled, low moans escaped its lips.
As its breath grew weaker, seemingly on the brink of death, it suddenly paused. The distorted nostrils began to contract, and a flicker of hunger flashed in its vacant eyes.
The wailing from its mouth became more piercing, and its struggles intensified.
The jaw opened and closed, revealing the movement inside through the rotting gap in its face. Maggots crawled disgustingly in and out, like demons from hell.
At that moment, a low voice emerged from beside them, as if explaining something to someone. "Everyone look, just now when the wind was blowing towards us, we got within two meters of it without any reaction. But as soon as we moved to the upwind side, it immediately detected us. This shows that these foolish zombies are still quite sensitive to smell. Even if you remain completely still and silent, they can still catch the scent on you—specifically, the scent that distinguishes you from their infected kind." Three figures then emerged from the bushes, one of whom held a stick and poked at the immobile corpse on the ground, stirring up a few maggots. He continued, "Originally, these maggots could be eaten directly, but since they come from these zombies, they carry a strong virus within them. However, I consulted an expert on this aspect; the virus carried by non-infected entities has limited vitality and cannot withstand high temperatures. If necessary, we can cook them to supplement our protein intake." He pulled out an empty plastic water bottle and began collecting the maggots, creating an extremely grotesque scene.
Once he finished collecting them, he pointed at the corpse with its jaw opening and closing as if it wanted to bite him. "However, this infected entity itself is absolutely inedible—not only because it has rotted away but also because after becoming a zombie, the virus mutates and becomes much more resilient. If you don’t want to end up like this thing, don’t even think about eating it. Now, based on our previous experiences, we should cut off its head to ensure it is completely dead." After saying this, he picked up a fist-sized rock and smashed it down onto the zombie's head, instantly extinguishing its last flicker of life.
Disregarding the stone he had just dropped, Bel?Grills continued into the bushes with his two dedicated cameramen.
Not long after they left, near where the corpse had been lying, the soil began to churn violently before a grayish figure emerged.
With skin resembling stone and blood-red eyes revealing that he was not human.
Approaching the lifeless corpse, he picked up a nearby stone and brought it to his nose to sniff.
A sinister smile spread across his face as he opened his mouth and emitted a high-frequency shriek that humans could not perceive—a sound that seemed to transmit something outward. "Ah, everyone look! This is a corpse about to revive again. Look at its legs; there’s a clear scratch! We need to smash its head before it stands up again—just like before. Hmm... I don't know why, but ever since earlier I've had a bad feeling as if something disgusting is watching us. God help us." After ensuring that the twitching corpse was completely dead, Bel?Grills frowned slightly.
Behind him, Yang Kai and Qin Meng nodded in agreement. "Boss, there’s definitely something off here. It’s better to be cautious at times like this; let’s take a moment to regroup," Yang Kai suggested. Although they didn’t want to stop so soon after just setting out, Bel?Grills clearly understood when to be cautious. Those who had survived in the wilderness for so long learned to trust their instincts.
This often helped them avoid trouble from nature—especially given their current precarious situation.
Just then, a clapping sound came from nearby bushes followed by a harsh noise mixed with metallic scraping. "No doubt about it; our future companion! Who would have thought that under Sister Four's interference we would discover something amiss right after gathering?"
Accompanied by slight tremors in the ground, a figure over two meters tall leaped out from the distant bushes and landed solidly in front of the three of them with a thud that created a small crater.
Its entire body exuded an iron-gray metallic texture; its square face was sharply defined as if carved by knives. With its heavy landing on the ground came an explosion of wild energy centered around it—like standing before a prehistoric beast!
As this first figure appeared, seven or eight other strange figures emerged one after another nearby, gradually encircling the three in the center.
"Oh no, damn it, I'm afraid we've encountered the last thing we wanted to meet, an Advanced Infected, a powerful being with human intelligence. This is the first time we've come across something like this." Meanwhile, the Brunette White Man among the three surrounded in this harsh environment didn't forget to start explaining to the camera.
This scene left the nearby individuals feeling a surge of frustration.
After all this buildup, such a domineering and impressive entrance was completely ignored.
"Even if you're the Future Partner, it seems you'll have to suffer a bit first," said the only figure resembling a human among them, an Enchanting Woman, her tone cold yet alluring.
"Suffer? I’m curious to see who can make them suffer," just then, a presence descended upon them!
It felt as if dark clouds were pressing down heavily!
Mixed with an overwhelming will that seemed to control everything!
It came directly from afar, looming over everyone’s heads!
Then, a voice as chilling as thunder echoed across the vast plain!
