Black clouds crush the city.

Shen Hao's mood at this time was as bad as the weather at this moment, he looked at the sky wordlessly, and then spat fiercely on the outside of the rooftop. The spit fell in the air in a standard parabola, and was then broken down into pieces by the air currents from high enough to fall on the heads of several dumbfounded zombies.

"What a nasty world!"

It's now five days since the catastrophe, and the explosions, crashing vehicles, screams of human fear, and the cries of despair before death have faded away. Jianghai, an international metropolis with a population of tens of millions, has now become a dead city. The air was filled with the stench of rotting corpses, and as far as the eye could see, in addition to the wreckage of abandoned vehicles, there were only countless wandering walking corpses left on the once bustling streets. There may still be a few survivors, but most of them are trepidating like frightened birds in their relatively safe "shelters", waiting for unwarranted rescue or sudden death.

Shen Hao took out a bottle of pure water from his backpack and poured it down. During these five days, he had less than 24 hours of rest, and constant crises had been tightly entangled with him. Fortunately, with his current ability, he can still easily deal with a challenge of this intensity, so now he just needs to save the necessary physical strength, because the real crisis has not yet completely come.

"Big brother, may I ask...... Do you still have water? ”

Shen Hao drank quickly, and he bottomed out with three or five sips of a bottle of water. At this time, a timid voice sounded. Shen Hao looked back and saw that it was a young girl wearing gold-rimmed glasses, the girl was not very old, about twenty-five years old, wearing a somewhat smudged but neat professional suit, quite an urban OL style. Behind her stood four other men and a woman, all dressed as clerical staff of the office building. These six people were all rescued from an office by Shen Hao on the way to the roof of this office building before, and they obviously hadn't eaten or drunk for a long time.

"Yes, there is food and drink in it, you can eat together." Shen Hao sighed, took off the backpack on his back and threw it to them. In the last days, food and water are things as precious as life, but Shen Hao is not stingy, after all, these things are not too difficult for him to obtain. He smiled as he watched a few men gobble through the bread and compressed biscuits in his bag, and lit himself a cigarette with his back against a protruding cement pier.

It's been five days, and just those slow-moving zombies with low IQs can't cause much trouble to themselves, although the number of those things is indeed a lot (who keeps our country's population leading the world?). But there are plenty of cover and detour space in the city, as long as you are careful not to be blocked into a dead end by a sizable zombie horde, you will not have any danger to your life. Unfortunately, this advantage will not last long, five days is enough time for these biochemical virus carriers to mutate and evolve, and the enemies they need to face may not be so easy to deal with.

Shen Hao took a deep breath, and the cigarette butt made a sizzling sound of burning. Suddenly, a familiar slight tingling sensation came from the back of his neck, he was excited, he didn't care about being choked by the smoke and coughed repeatedly, his right hand picked up the fire axe leaning against his feet, and his left hand touched the back of his neck like lightning, there was a strangely shaped brand, and at this moment, the brand was flashing a faint red light that ordinary people could not see.

", Cao Cao Cao arrived, these ghosts really can't help chattering!" Shen Hao spit out the cigarette butt, rushed to the edge of the rooftop with the fire axe, and put the retracted left hand in front of his eyes by the way to look at it, "Fortunately, there is no blood, it doesn't seem to be a powerful thing......

"How...... What's wrong......" Several people who were still eating noticed Shen Hao's actions, and they all stood up in panic, and several men were still holding metal rods in their hands that might have been removed from a chair or some cabinet.

"Stand back, y'all! Something might be coming......" Shen Hao waved his hand to calm everyone down, and he carefully looked out of the rooftop. At this moment, with the sound of glass breaking, a black shadow rushed out from about the eighth floor, and as soon as he jumped out of the window, his limbs were like geckos clasping the outer wall of the building, and an ugly head turned around and happened to meet Shen Hao.

What kind of face is this, without skin and eyes, the brown-red muscle structure is so naked in the air, and the deformed brain that occupies more than half of the head is also exposed. The body structure remains roughly human, but the limbs are more slender, with sharp claws at the ends of the hands and feet, and a long, scarlet tongue that swallows like a reptile.

"It turned out to be a creeper." Shen Hao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the creeper, also known as the licker, was formed by the zombie mutation of the biochemical virus infection that had reached a critical point.

According to the previously collected data, all human beings infected by biochemical viruses will have a sharp increase in the speed of metabolism in the body, and the tissues of the whole body will begin to slowly ulcerate and age, and the skin will become gray and bloodless, until it gradually falls off, exposing the muscle tissue. At this time, the infected host will feel an increased appetite and need to constantly consume food to meet the body's rapid metabolism requirements. When this requirement is not met, the host's body will decay, emit a foul smell, the brain capacity will be zero, and the bones of the whole body will be brittle due to the overburden on the body, resulting in the formation of those wandering zombies.

However, as the erosion of biochemical viruses becomes more and more severe, the epidermis of some zombies will gradually fall off, and then new muscle tissue will grow in the body. In addition, the skull gradually disappeared due to the effects of the biochemical virus, so the brain was directly exposed, but the eyes were degenerated and replaced by a keen sense of hearing.

The creeper is no longer completely painless like a zombie, and when attacking it, it will temporarily retreat or fall down because of the pain, but because it is very strong, and the biochemical virus has the effect of making the wound recover quickly, so even if the creeper is damaged, it will immediately stand up again in a very short time and return to an attacking posture. In addition to these, the creeper's body has also undergone considerable changes for the convenience of predation: in order to be able to catch its prey quickly and reliably, the tongue has become specialized in a form that can become longer or even harder; The fingers at the tips of both hands are specialized into huge claws that can not only climb walls and ceilings at various angles, but also tear open the body of prey in one fell swoop.

The Creeper was not the new mutated species that Shen Hao had feared before, and it had already fought against it in the early morning of the second day of the virus outbreak. At that time, a squad of armed police soldiers was rescuing the survivors trapped in the commercial building, but the gunfire and gunsmoke attracted all the zombies on half of the street, and the rescuers and the rescued were all trapped in the building, including Shen Hao, who was collecting food in the building. At this time, the creeper appeared. In the darkness, at least thirty creepers launched a surprise attack on them, and the crowd was immediately thrown into bloody chaos. Shen Hao lost all the weapons he was carrying in this melee, and finally relied on the fire axe he picked up from the fire escape to force a bloody way, and when he looked back behind him in the wild running, he could only hear the screams and wails of the raging sea of corpses, and the increasingly sparse gunshots.

For ordinary people, creepers are undoubtedly an extremely deadly cold-blooded killer, although their optic nerves are completely degenerated, but correspondingly, the tactile, auditory and motor nerves far surpass those of ordinary wild animals, and the extremely fast metabolism increases their wound healing speed several times. So in the absence of heavy weapons, it is extremely unlikely that the humans who encounter them will survive. Of course, if the marksmanship is more accurate and can hit the exposed brain, the creeper will definitely die, which is also their biggest fatal flaw.

For Shen Hao, this kind of enemy with obvious vital points is often not so terrifying, although he basically can't use a gun, but his speed and strength are not inferior or even above the creeper, and he will not waste too much energy to deal with this kind of lone creeper.

The creeper obviously spotted the prey on the rooftop, and after letting out a hoarse scream, he unfolded and rushed towards Shen Hao at full speed, his strong limbs on the vertical surface of the building as if he were walking on the ground, climbing like flying, and the distance of dozens of meters was in front of him in an instant. Shen Hao held the axe in one hand, took two steps back slightly, and untied a pipe wrench from the belt behind his back with his left hand, which was found in a small tool room when he entered from the underground garage before, and also found a 24-inch movable wrench, which he found a nylon rope and tied it to the waistband of his trousers.

The creeper finally landed on the rooftop, and as soon as he showed his head, the two-meter-long tongue in his mouth was like a blood-red arrow shooting towards Shen Hao's head, the momentum was like electricity, and even brought out a fishy wind in the air. Shen Hao's eyes were calm, his feet did not retreat but advanced, and the pipe wrench in his left hand came first, meeting the long tongue that shot from the front at a clever angle, as if the bullet made a crisp sound when it hit the steel plate, and the long tongue that did not know how many prey lives were actually unloaded to the side, grazing Shen Hao's left shoulder and shooting into the air, almost at the same time, the fire axe in Shen Hao's right hand slashed through a cold light and slashed at the bare brain of the creeper. Like a watermelon hit by a wooden stick, thick blood mixed with yellow-white brains burst out in an instant, and the creeper roared, a pair of sharp claws reflexively waved, as if trying to tear the enemy to shreds with the last of their life force.

However, Shen Hao, who had succeeded in the first blow, had already prepared, and his whole body was lowered by the trend, avoiding the claws of the left and right attacks, and then rolled forward, and his bent legs kicked the crawler's lower body heavily, and the force of this blow made the crawler's entire body fly out of the range of the rooftop, with gushing blood, and his limbs danced downstairs, and soon heard the muffled sound when it landed.

Not to mention the fatal blow to the head before, even if the height of this 30 floors is enough to turn the planted creeper into a lifeless meatloaf, no matter how strong the metabolic ability is, it will not be able to return to the sky.

"That's amazing!!" Several survivors were immediately stunned by Shen Hao's wonderful performance, although Shen Hao led them alone to rush from the inside of the zombie-infested building to the top floor, but after all, they were mainly rushing, and the enemies they encountered were all avoidable and avoided, they all knew that Shen Hao's skills were extraordinary, but they didn't expect that the other party would be so strong. Just now, I saw him fighting with that terrifying biochemical monster for a moment, and he almost didn't see the specific process clearly, only to see the monster flying out of the rooftop with blood, and Shen Hao didn't even have much blood on his body, and he looked completely at ease.

In fact, to be able to deal with a creeper so easily, Shen Hao also took advantage of the terrain to take advantage of it, when the creeper first climbed onto the rooftop, his limbs had to stabilize his body, and he only had one tongue that could attack Shen Hao. Similarly, due to being at the edge of the platform, the creeper's greatest speed advantage could not be brought into play, and Shen Hao only needed to take an effective attack that disrupted the balance of the creeper's body, even if the axe did not hit the vital point, he could force it out of the rooftop, and he could also use the drop of the tall building to throw it to death.

But other people don't care about those details, in this last day that may lose their lives at any time, with such a powerful companion by their side, they have a lot more hope of survival, so for a while, everyone was excited, and countless flattering words couldn't wait to praise Shen Hao as the savior of the last days.

"Shut up! If you don't want to die, don't lean over! Suddenly, Shen Hao interrupted everyone's compliments with a loud roar, and this time there was a more dense tingling sensation from the brand on the back of his neck, and Shen Hao suddenly remembered that creepers seem to have always been hunters who act in groups.

"It's not over yet!" Shen Hao licked his lips, and the knuckles holding the handle of the axe turned slightly white.
