"This thing has a 'heat absorption' characteristic. It proves that my previous speculation is correct. These undeads are likely to be affected by it. They will sense our body temperature and gradually gather here. The way they hunt is not by tracking the smell of blood but by tracking the heat!" Dudian secretly thought: "Scott's team has a large number of people. The heat produced by them is even more amazing. It should attract more undeads. In other words, there is a very large number of undeads in the area no 8. This is by no means caused by the hunters. It is likely that … … they have moved from other areas!"
Dudian frowned as he thought of this. Previously he had glanced at Scott's map. He remembered that there was a gray area near the area no 8. There were several green and blue areas which were the hunting areas of other consortiums.
Dudian said to Mason and Zach: "This thing can help us reduce our body temperature. We can get rid of the undeads' tracking. However, we still can't get too close to them. We have to find a way to hunt an undeads and dig out the cold ball in its brain. Only then we can get rid of the undeads' tracking."
Mason was surprised: "With this thing, we can get rid of the undeads' tracking?"
"How can we hunt them? They are too strong. We are not their opponents." Zach asked.
Dudian smiled: "We humans are not strong in fighting, but in wisdom. We can't confront them head-on, but we can use their lack of IQ to easily kill them."
"Easily?" Zach and Mason looked at each other in a daze.
Three years of training taught scavengers how to search for prey in the wilderness and how to survive in a variety of environments. But it didn't teach them how to hunt because that was the hunter's job. Therefore, although they had been trained, but faced with such a problem, Mason and Zach were completely at a loss. But compared to other ordinary children, they didn't panic and collapse. It was very rare.
"The simplest way is to use fire." Dudian smiled: "You go and find some cloth. As long as the cloth can be ignited, the more the better. I will replace Sham and lead them to a place. I will give you ten minutes to gather the cloth downstairs."
Mason and Zach's eyes lit up. They immediately guessed what Dean wanted to do. They quickly left the room and went to each floor to look for combustibles.
Dean went back upstairs and saw that Sham was still tirelessly throwing stones: "You take a break, I'll do it."
Sham replied: "No, I can do this kind of rough work. Whether we can leave this place or not, it's all up to you."
Dudian laughed: "Mason and Zach have gone to take care of it. They will be able to leave here soon. Everything is ready."
"What do you mean?" Sham blankly asked.
Dean shook his head and smiled: "Nothing, everything is ready. I will finish the rest of the work. You go upstairs and find some stones. Don't empty this floor or it will collapse." Then, he grabbed the gravel on the ground and looked at the wandering corpses at the entrance of the community. He suddenly found that the number of these corpses had increased by a few more. In the distance, there seemed to be a single corpse staggering over.
Dean immediately grabbed the stone and threw it to the other side of the building, leading the Undeads to the other side.
Ten minutes later, Mason and Zach gathered the combustibles in the open space under the building and formed a circle. At this time, Dean continued to throw stones or glass into the open space in the center of the circle. The violent sound immediately attracted the attention of the group of undeads. They immediately staggered over and entered the center of the circle.
At this time, Mason who had received Dean's order in advance immediately threw lit torches from the second floor. Four or five torches tumbled down from the air and fell on the combustibles. Due to the relatively close height, only one of the five torches fell. The other four fell on the clothes. The flames burned along with the clothes and soon ignited the whole circle. The clothes and rotten wood furniture were burned together into a raging fire.
The undeads in the center of the burning circle seemed to have an instinctive awareness to avoid the flames. They immediately ran out of the circle when the flames burned.
Seeing this, Dean's face slightly changed. He immediately continued to throw stones and glass to attract the undeads with violent sound. However, the undeads' awareness of fire was particularly strong. The sound couldn't attract them.
Dean's face changed. He hurriedly shouted downstairs: "Bring the fire to them!"
Mason, Zach and Sham were surprised for a moment. They immediately implemented the second set of backup plan prepared by Dean. That was to ignite the undeads! This plan was originally worried that the burning circle would not burn the undeads inside. They were ready to add fire to their bodies. But now it happened to come in handy.
The three quickly picked up some bedsheets and other clothes on the ground and threw them downstairs to the undeads inside the burning circle. Soon the undeads were hit by the clothes. Although they were not injured, but when they ran out of the burning circle covered with bedsheets and quilts, they were ignited by the fire.
Dean breathed a sigh of relief and watched quietly. It didn't take long for the flames to extinguish. There were seven or eight charred corpses lying in the burning circle. The rest of the undeads fell outside the burning circle. Some of them were not ignited by the flames. They fled hundreds of meters away and continued to stagger and approach.
Dean immediately threw stones to lead them to the distance. Then he let Sham come over and continue to use sound to lead them away. He went downstairs and was ready to call Mason and Zach to collect the corpses. Suddenly, he saw one of the arms of the undeads. It seemed that it was slightly raised. He could not help but be shocked. Didn't the flames burn them?
"The bodies are burnt, but the dark blue ball in the head can control them …" Dean's face changed. He called Mason and Zach to continue to throw combustibles to cover the bodies of the undeads to make the fire more vigorous.
After burning for seven or eight minutes, Dean carefully observed the undeads for a while. He threw stones to the center of the undeads. There was no reaction. He was relieved and called Mason and Zach to collect the corpses.
The three of them came downstairs. When Sham was leading the rest of the undeads away, they immediately used cloth and gloves to drag the charred corpses downstairs and cut off their heads.
Mason and Zach gradually loosened their courage and tried to cut off the heads of the charred corpses.
Soon, the heads of the charred corpses were cut off. A total of eight heads.
Dean directly cut open their heads and saw that the tissues in their skulls had softened. However, what surprised Dean was that the dark blue ball in their skulls was also melting. At this moment, it had melted from the size of a thumb to the size of a soybean, and the melted liquid was translucent like water. The color of the melted liquid was dark blue.
"This dark blue ball is afraid of high temperature?" Dean was stunned.
