Stray Chapter 85: Humans cannot understand each other!
"I mean, those zombies all rely on sound to move, and they are usually blind... Speaking of which, haven't any of you discovered this obvious problem?" Xia Ran asked strangely.
"Who's who's who's who ... who would be able to test at this time, they rushed over like this, just how to deal with them is already exhausting, okay? As long as I get serious, this kind of thing It doesn't matter at all!"
The pink-haired double ponytail subconsciously wanted to fry her hair again, but she reacted immediately and forcibly lowered her voice.
As a result, there is no such thing as the aura of anger. Instead, it looks like a serious guilty conscience and lack of confidence. Just like a cat showing its teeth and claws, no one will feel any deterrence.
It's just that, from the time of the disaster until now, they really haven't been sure about it.
After all, as a group of students, if they were able to survive a disaster that erupted without warning, they did their best. Even if their brains were still in the mood to think, most of them were occupied by their unreachable family members. most of the ideas.
The rest is fear, panic, fear, not knowing what happened, subconsciously thinking... In addition, when they faced dead zombies before, they always felt that those monsters seemed to move freely. Once they found the target, they immediately It's very accurate to pounce on...
So they didn't even notice that the group of monsters had no vision, and only rely on hearing to capture the outside world.
"Actually, the problem is not that big. In many cases, the danger is completely self-inflicted... As long as they are not directly surrounded, there is actually still a chance to escape. Terrified..."
Xia Ran sighed. In fact, this is indeed the case. After all, these dead zombies are not the kind in "Zombie World War".
As long as you are not surrounded by narrow terrain or blocked in a narrow room, then there is no big problem. You can move your hands and feet flexibly, and you are not physically strong enough to walk slowly. Don't try to die. Wipe around the zombies and keep a certain distance...
—then there is no problem.
Many people have died wrongly. Not knowing that voice is the key is one of them. The more frightened they are, the more panicked they shout. As a result, more dead zombies are attracted, which completely ruins their hopes of life.
The second is to drop the chain at a critical moment. Some people have an adrenaline burst at the moment of the crisis, and some people are extremely frightened. At that moment, their body is not under their control, and their brain will go blank for a moment, and their legs will go blank. All are soft.
Even if you see a vicious dog barking and rushing up, you will stand in place, stiff and unable to move, not to mention those who are **** and bloody, who usually only appear on movie screens. Classic cannibals.
This is also impossible. In this day and age, if most people do not live in war-torn countries and regions, it is very likely that they will never have the experience and awareness of "warriors" in their entire lives.
So at the first moment of the sudden outbreak of the crisis, a few people survived, but most people died.
"Ask, no problem?"
"Of course it's not a big problem. They're not bats. Although they hear the sound, they're garbage in other ways. They can't make conscious thoughts at all... Seeing and not being able to see, they instinctively walk in a straight line. "
Xia Ran nodded as a matter of course, and didn't mind revealing some more key information to this group of people. This was the information he had observed and confirmed before.
"Unless it's on the stairs, otherwise, there are always a few zombies who can come down from the upper floor or the lower floor, and most of them may not even be able to get out of the classroom..."
And most importantly, they are no longer able to think. There is no brain mechanism for filtering sounds. They can quickly and intelligently distinguish and confirm what is the movement of the real prey, so it is easy to be misled.
Even the low growl and the sound of walking around other zombies will attract them... To be honest, this feature is very reasonable, and it can be regarded as the luck of the human beings in this world.
In the original plot, this group of people kept tossing in the teaching building like this, but they were not surrounded by a large number of zombies.
The floors and classrooms and office rooms divide the number of dead zombies very well. The dead zombies they need to deal with on each floor are very limited. As long as the distance is controlled, there are several in the lineup. Melee and long range are very stable.
"Won't they consciously find their way down? Well, that's fine..."
Hirano Toda let out a long sigh of relief, and the pale boy who was supported by him also raised his hand subconsciously to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, using the broken hand .
In an instant, the cold sweat on his forehead became more visible to the naked eye... That is, the fat man next to him was quick-eyed and quickly covered his mouth, preventing him from screaming.
Although they understand that there is no difference at this time, but knowing that those things rely on sound to act, and not knowing this is completely different, they really want to stop even the sound of breathing and heartbeat.
"Not necessarily, there may be some small accidents. For example, the zombies on the stairs came down the road, and the movement it made pulled out the zombies nearby, and followed them to the stairs. I found the way, and then the sound pulled the zombies farther away..."
Xia Ran shook her head and raised another possibility. This is how corpse tides often appear. Not all zombies have discovered something. Most of them are likely to be attracted by similar sounds. , all headed in the same direction.
Like a snowball, the result is that the accumulation of more and more, a huge and turbulent group of zombies takes shape.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's get out of here quickly, shall we?"
"A wise move." Xia Ran said with a smile, and then, as if remembering something, raised the phone in her hand, "By the way, can you both stand together and let me take a picture?"
“…”
“…”
Of course, at this time, no one was in the mood to take pictures, which made Xia Ran feel very sorry.
Do you think you are too unprofessional? But there is no way to do this. Smartphones in this era are really hard to describe. The big deal is to find a professional camera later.
He thought so regretfully.
"Student Xia Ran, are you really not going to come with us?" Yuko Dushima stared at him deeply, as if trying to make one last effort.
"No, don't worry about me... But if you have the opportunity to leave now, leave as soon as possible. Human beings are very fragile." Xia Ran smiled and shook her head. reveal some subtle information.
"Hmph, you're talking nonsense like you're not human...I don't know exactly why you want to stay, but since so many things have been observed-"
Takajo Saya said with a displeased face, it seemed that she was very dissatisfied with this guy who couldn't communicate.
"Then you should also know that those guys are no longer human, but monsters... You'd better not have unrealistic expectations, and take... with someone else's share of goodness It's right to live, don't do stupid things..."
Speaking of the latter, she didn't know what she was thinking, but her voice suddenly became deeper, and she turned away from Xia Ran with a gloomy expression.
“…”
“…”
For a moment, Xia Ran was keenly aware that the eyes of everyone around him were changing in an instant.
That's it!
Suddenly realized!
Sympathy!
It's probably like this, they all understood something, looked at the crazy guy in front of them with sympathy and sadness... No wonder this guy seems to be out of tune with this bad doomsday scene, it turns out that he has already crazy.
Then all the previous heartless behaviors seem to be completely understandable - even if this person seems very calm on the surface, but behind that smile, he must be suppressing unimaginable great pain with waves.
Obviously there is no ordinary people's anger, despair, sadness, and pain, but they are very peaceful, but after making up their minds, they feel more indescribable sadness and sympathy... Probably lost something very very important person.
Probably the only reason why this person is unwilling to leave with them, why there is no tension at all, and why he is in the mood to joke with others-because behind all abnormal behavior, it is actually just him Behind the calm smile that numbs himself, there is actually some kind of madness...
After all, Xia Ran didn't point out the mind-reading technique, and there was no way to instantly distinguish so many complex emotions, so he just tilted his head and slowly put a question mark, what did this group of people understand?
Forget it, it shouldn't be my business anyway.
Although it's not a plot character, the boy just now has proved that saving a person has 100 points... In the current situation where no points are earned for killing zombies, he seems to have only found such a brush temporarily. sub-path.
And the plot character who originally wanted to save is not in the team now, and it seems that he has already received the lunch, so he intends to change his plan first.
"They are monsters? Maybe...but don't trust appearances too much, how can you be sure that I'm not a monster?"
Xia Ran said in a relaxed tone——
"Okay, if you want to leave, hurry up, it's very bad for you humans after dark..."
"Hey! I said you..." Gaocheng Saya widened his eyes angrily and was about to say something.
At this time, Dudao Yazi took a step forward and said very seriously: "If that's the case, then I wish Jun Wu a prosperous ... Xia Ran, if you have made up your mind, then let go and do it. Let's go!"
"Eh? Oh, thank you..." Xia Ran was stunned, do you know what I'm going to do?
He was a little puzzled, but at this time, everyone looked at him with a sad and sympathetic look, and then walked out of the classroom one after another. Komuro Taka and Miyamoto Rei even seemed to have remembered something bad, and they looked lost.
And the pink-haired twin-tailed ponytail seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Yuko Shima.
"Student Gaocheng, that's it... Defending men's dignity is a woman's restraint..."
"What dignity! This is simply to die!"
"Student Gaocheng, you don't understand... He was smiling, but he was actually crying more than anyone... He has made a decision, and we must respect him."
The voice gradually faded away, leaving Xia Ran alone in the empty classroom.
“?”
He tilted his head, with an obvious look of trouble on his face. He should have spoken Japanese just now, right? Why do I always feel like there is a problem with the communication between each other?
