Lord of Illusions City

Chapter 264 Strange Phenomenon

"Are you sure Wang Li's head was pierced before?"

Li Chenzhou stared at Shanzi and asked.

Although no one knew why the brain was the only vital spot for zombies, who possessed no intelligence! But as long as the brain of a zombie was destroyed, it would definitely die, even high-level enhanced zombies were no exception. In his previous life, this was a well-known iron law, without exception.

Moreover, whether in movies, TV series, or novels, all zombie-related works followed this rule, and no zombie could break it!

But now, Shanzi actually said that Wang Li's head had been pierced before? How was this possible! Li Chenzhou had definitely seen Wang Li turn into a zombie and be hung on a pole when he entered the yard before.

"I'm sure! At that time, Brother Li was in my arms!"

Shanzi replied:

"Brother Li was stabbed in the heart by Qing Lang's knife in order to save me. Brother Li knew he couldn't live, so he asked me to kill him. I refused, and then... then the chief came and stabbed Brother Li's head with his knife, killing him!

Later, because the situation was urgent, I put Brother Li's body in the sentry tower, thinking of burying him after it was over. But just now, when we were cleaning up those poles and the bodies on the poles, we found that Brother Li was also hanging on them, and he had become a zombie!"

"By the way! Did Qing Lang also put up those poles and corpses?"

Li Chenzhou asked suddenly.

Ever since he arrived at the prison and saw those poles, Li Chenzhou had been wondering how these poles, corpses, and zombies were set up. Qing Lang definitely couldn't have done it alone.

And just now, when Ding Ning was recounting what happened, he deliberately ignored this for some reason and didn't mention it at all. Although Li Chenzhou asked a question, he vaguely changed the subject.

Seeing that Ding Ning didn't want to talk about it, Li Chenzhou didn't press him. Now that Shanzi took the initiative to bring it up, he simply asked.

"I don't know!"

Unexpectedly, Shanzi shook his head, with a puzzled expression on his face:

"At that time... we were suppressed by snipers and all hid under the walls of the prison cells. Not long after, Qing Lang's voice came, saying that he was back and would kill us all.

Then, his voice disappeared, and the gunshots didn't sound. But the chief still told us not to move. After about ten minutes, Qing Lang suddenly shouted outside again, telling the chief to look outside, and he guaranteed that the chief wouldn't be sniped.

The chief stood up and looked out the window. Then his face changed drastically. When we saw the chief's expression, we also got up and took a look outside. Those poles and corpses were already there!"

"You said... ten minutes?"

Li Chenzhou was stunned.

"Yes! Ten minutes at most!"

Shanzi nodded very definitely:

"Moreover, we didn't hear any sound. After all, so many people had been shot to death before, and we were a little scared, so we were always carefully listening to the movements outside!"

"In ten minutes, to erect those poles and hang the corpses and zombies on them, it would take at least dozens of people to do it. What's more, they would also need to dig out the bodies of those prison guards from the ground!"

Li Chenzhou frowned:

"Such a big project, and you didn't hear a single sound? This..."

"We really didn't hear anything!"

Shanzi said decisively:

"When the chief saw the bodies of his comrades on the poles outside, he almost rushed out. And Qing Lang was also shouting outside, constantly pointing out the names of those prison guards, talking about what they had done in the prison before, and saying that the chief, as the worst of all the prison guards, couldn't even protect the bodies of his comrades, and might as well die sooner!

Wu Cheng desperately held him back, saying that Qing Lang's purpose was to provoke him to go out because Qing Lang himself didn't dare to come in. He and the chief were evenly matched. If he rashly rushed in, with our help, he might die here.

And once outside, with the help of that sniper, Qing Lang would have a chance to kill the chief. And the chief is the strongest person in this base. Once he dies, the rest of us won't even be able to stop Qing Lang. Then, we will all definitely be killed by him.

Hearing Wu Cheng's persuasion, the chief looked at us and finally gave up. But Qing Lang was still shouting outside, but in the end, the chief pretended not to hear and lay on the ground, burying his head in his arms."

"Mm!"

Li Chenzhou nodded, finally understanding why Ding Ning didn't want to mention those poles and corpses before.

Because Ding Ning didn't know how those poles were erected, so he couldn't talk about it. And as soon as he mentioned those poles, he would think of his comrades who couldn't rest in peace after death and whose bodies were dug up, so he simply didn't mention it!

Thinking of this, Li Chenzhou looked at the poles that the survivors were collecting again, walked over and tested the depth of the poles in the ground, then turned around and said to Shanzi:

"Let's go! Take me to see Wang Li!"

"Okay! He's right here!"

Shanzi nodded immediately, then led Li Chenzhou to a body lying on the ground, covered with a white cloth. He gently pulled open the white cloth, revealing Wang Li's ferocious face.

"Brother Li, look, this wound was stabbed by the chief before. I saw it with my own eyes! And this new one... I just... I left it when I killed Brother Li!"

Shanzi pointed to the top of Wang Li's head and said.

Li Chenzhou went over and looked. There were indeed two wounds on the top of Wang Li's head, one large and one small.

The large wound was an old wound, which should have been left when Ding Ning killed Wang Li back then. The small wound was obviously new.

"This is..."

Li Chenzhou pointed to the small wound and asked.

"Because Brother Li had already turned into a zombie, so I..."

Shanzi stretched his finger into the large wound and tested the depth. His brows furrowed involuntarily. There was no doubt that Ding Ning's knife was fatal and definitely destroyed the brain.

In other words, Ding Ning's knife not only killed Wang Li, but also completely eliminated the hidden danger of him mutating into a zombie. But Wang Li still became a zombie in the end.

This was a bizarre phenomenon that Li Chenzhou had never encountered before. A dead person whose brain was destroyed still turned into a zombie. And the most bizarre thing was that Shanzi still used the method of destroying the brain to kill Wang Li, who had turned into a zombie...

"By the way, you said before... after Wang Li died, you put his body on the sentry tower?"

Li Chenzhou checked Wang Li's body and looked up at Shanzi and asked:

"At that time, did he show any signs of mutation, such as his face starting to change color, etc.?"

"No! At that time, Brother Li was just a corpse, like other ordinary people's corpses whose brains had been destroyed!"

Shanzi shook his head and said.

"Then... among other ordinary people who died after their brains were destroyed, were there any who turned into zombies like Wang Li?"

Li Chenzhou asked again...
