Then Fang Yi whispered faintly through the second SUV's channel, probably forgetting his radio was open, "Brainy jiangshi?"
Gao Jun muttered, "Don't ask."
Tang Li Yue ignored them.
Her eyes were fixed on the zombies along the road.
It was still watching, waiting patiently.
She knew this pattern.
Not personally, but Li Yue did.
The memories rose slowly, unpleasantly, like something dredged from a filthy pond.
A base wall with hundreds of zombies standing outside.
They were not attacking, just waiting like silent sentries.
People had thought they were safe.
Then, when night fell and the people winded down, the horde moved all at once.
They didn't act like hungry beasts. They resembled trained soldiers.
That base had fallen before dawn.
Li Yue had written about it somewhere in the journal, with handwriting so furious the ink had nearly torn through the paper.
Tang Li Yue closed her eyes briefly, forcing the scattered memory to sharpen.
Mental ability zombie.
