Although the origins of anomalies remained unclear to humanity, one special kind of anomaly was an exception.
This special kind of anomaly had a simple, straightforward collective name: "the undead."
As the name implied, the undead were anomalies transformed from the dead.
Their deaths were often accompanied by extremely intense emotions: fanatical obsessions, twisted feelings, bone-deep resentment and hatred... Not everyone who died with such emotions became undead, but every undead transformed from a deceased person carried emotions of this kind without exception.
"The undead" were also different from ghosts in the narrow sense. They were not purely spiritual anomalies, but memes carrying the emotions and fragments of memories from the deceased's life. They possessed—or rather, infected—something. That something could be the deceased's own corpse, or other humans, animals, plants, objects, or even certain phenomena.
The undead's behavioral logic often possessed an extremely strong sense of purpose.
Take the Pregnant Girl who had been buried alive by that scumbag. Her behavioral logic was to find that scumbag from back then and take revenge on every human related to him by blood.
So, if Longyanlei had become anomalous because it was possessed by an undead, then perhaps its purpose in moving toward Tianfu City was revenge as well?

"Someone on the west side is badly injured! Where are the medics? Hurry! Get over here and save them!"
Countless anomalies swarmed Garuda like moths to a flame. The most numerous among them were
