Chapter 182 Corpse Pit

The conversation with Negan lasted for more than an hour. The team members outside just continued to be busy with their own things. No one knew what the two talked about in the room.

Franklin learned that these people were preparing to deal with a group of people. According to their description, they looked like the gang of thugs who had kidnapped their own people.

When Negan came out, he told him about it. Unexpectedly, he was very calm and obviously already knew about it.

After asking his group to help prepare, Negan got in the car and went to accompany his wife.

The production of walking zombie masks was still in full swing. In order to implement the plan, Lu Jiayi did not wait until the next day. He selected a few of the semi-finished products to be made in advance, while the remaining masks had to be made tomorrow.

The plan was about to begin. Lu Jiayi gathered all the team members and told them the full contents of the plan.

After hearing the plan, everyone's behavior was different. The members of the prison team were very calm, while the two groups of Alexander and Charvelt were all shocked.

A survivor from the Charvelt community screamed out loud after hearing the plan.

"What? Are you making masks to attract zombies? You must be crazy!"

"Yes, if you are found out, you will die immediately!"

Pressing his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, Lu Jiayi picked up a mask from the ground and said.

"You don't have to worry about this. I've done experiments a long time ago. Maybe you don't know it yet. Before the apocalypse, I worked at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. After the apocalypse broke out, we conducted a comprehensive study on the behavior of the walking dead. , so you don’t need to worry, this is something we have confirmed.”

The man was still worried, he pointed outside and said.

"Let's experiment first."

Michonne on the side shook her head and explained.

"It's not that I don't want to experiment with you. Now that time is running out, we will directly attract a group of corpses so that you can see the effect."

In fact, she had never seen the effect of wearing a mask, but she had led two zombies among the corpses for several months, and her trust in Lu Jiayi made her feel that the success rate of this operation was very high.

Many people still feel that they have no bottom line. Fortunately, they don't have to charge into battle. People are like this. As long as things don't happen to them, everything will be easy.

Seeing that the matter was basically resolved, he didn't say anything more. Time was tight now. Every day of delay would increase the chance of an accident.

Then he left the community with several people. This time he only took five people with him, namely Michonne, T-boy, Bob, Ian and Glenn.

He didn't bring anyone from Alexander with him because he had some considerations. He didn't want to reveal the corpse group to Pete and his group because of their impatience. Once they knew that the reason why there were so few walking corpses nearby was because The nearby corpse pits are likely to shamelessly join his team. In his opinion, this group of people is a cancer-like existence.

He doesn't want to have any interactions with these guys. From now on, everyone will rely on their own abilities. Whether the other party can survive depends on themselves.

And he had another reason. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Negan at the door of the RV in the distance. The idea in his mind hesitated for a moment, but was quickly dismissed.

…

They randomly found a car outside, refueled and set off towards their destination.

Soon they arrived at an open-pit mine not too far from the community. Before they even got closer, they heard a huge corpse roar coming from the front, and a strong corpse smell permeating the air.

Even the few people who were used to this smell all frowned, Ian pinched his nose and said.

"The smell is almost chemical weapons level!"

Glenn on the side looked at the big boy in amusement, patted the other boy on the back and complained.

"Boy, you're still far behind."

Ignoring the commotion of the people behind him, Lu Jiayi drove the car directly down the slope to an exit of the mine.

This mine is the main reason why there are so few walking corpses around the Alexandria community. This mine has two exits, one on each side, and these two entrances and exits are currently blocked by four trucks, with two vehicles at each entrance. , their trunks happened to hit each other, blocking all the zombies inside into the pit. It was probably a trap-like place arranged by the previous troops.

Lu Jiayi guessed that a group of zombies should have been led here by the army, and then used four vehicles to block the entrance and exit. Such a simple design met the two most important conditions.

First, there must have been a group of corpses here at the beginning of the end of the world.

Second, this mine is very large and can accommodate a lot of zombies.

The zombie swarm can provide a herd effect, gathering the surrounding zombies here. Because of the huge capacity of the mine, more and more zombies gather here, and the more zombies there are, the more scattered zombies they attract. These two coincidences formed Alexander's unique living conditions in the early stage, but these advantages were completely failed to be utilized.

The soldiers who brought the corpses in had no idea that a trap they inadvertently laid would have such a big effect.

At this time, the number of zombies in the mine was estimated to have exceeded tens of thousands. Looking at the five people behind him, Lu Jiayi smiled and then gave instructions.

"Be sure to remember how to communicate in a while, otherwise the direct person will be gone. Do you understand?"

"receive."

"Okay, let's get started!"

…

Boom, boom, boom.

A truck blocking the entrance was driven away, and the zombies blocked behind were instantly liberated. They walked out aimlessly, but saw several of the same kind standing outside. They walked towards each other without hesitation. .

These fellows began to move forward, and they followed behind.

Soon this effect drove the zombies in the mine to start gathering towards the entrance, slowly forming a long dragon.

The few "walking zombies" standing outside were naturally in disguise. T, who drove the truck away, quickly jumped out of the truck, also wearing a zombie mask on his head.

The six people were leading the way slowly at the front. Glenn and the others were surprised to find that the group of zombies were following them obediently just as the captain said.

Although they were very uncomfortable and even felt like a light on their backs, they gradually felt relieved after walking for dozens or hundreds of meters.

When they reached the road, they began to slow down, waiting for the zombies behind them to catch up.

The amazing thing is that the walking corpses behind also slowed down, like a group of shadows, more like a flock of sheep. No wonder it is called the "herd effect."

Glenn couldn't help but speak out, but he didn't dare to speak directly. Instead, he uttered a few words in a manner similar to a corpse roar.

"This...is...really...effective."

"Seriously."

As the voices reached the ears of several people, the group of corpses behind them still showed no reaction. They all stared blankly ahead and followed closely behind them.
