Chapter 4 The hand rises and the knife falls
I carried the Tang Knife and walked lightly through the streets, trying my best to avoid those corpses, these were the lowest grades, as long as I didn't alarm them, there would be no problem.
In order to prevent the knife from coming out of my hand, I used a bandage to tie the handle of the knife tightly with my right hand, and the bandage was wrapped directly around my forearm.
As long as the movement is light enough, the wandering first- and second-level corpses will not notice me.
Over here...... It should be the center of ZM, if I remember correctly, five hundred meters further is the convenience store that I didn't go to last time, there should be food supplies inside, and if you are lucky, you can find a new light source, this candle is too inconvenient to use.
"Huh...... Hum ......"
"Wang ......! Woof......! ”
I suddenly stopped my steps, didn't dare to make any more movements, and quietly clenched the Tang knife, and cold sweat seeped out of my forehead in an instant.
Damn it! It can't be a xenomorph, right? So unlucky! First, there are third-level corpses blocking the door, and then there are monsters blocking the way!
I adjusted my mind, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and then held my breath and watched my ears move slightly, judging the movement.
After a few moments nothing happened.
I tried to take another step forward.
"Wang ......! Woohoo ......! ”
it! Damn, I have to be scared out of my heart attack, how can I be shocked.
Finally, there was movement in my ears, and I didn't dare to act rashly.
It's like something is licking the meat.
My sweaty hand gripped the handle of the knife tightly, leaning forward gently, and as soon as I poked my head out, it seemed to be pressed against something, soft and sticky.
“……”
I held that weird posture and couldn't even breathe.
Then I felt the thing slowly wrapping around me.
That's right, it's wrapped, and it's sticky, like it's going to wrap me in my body.
Could it be the Xenosnake? My life is ......!
I turned my heart sideways, and I was about to give it a knife, but if I didn't fight back in this case, I would be waiting for death.
"Woo Woo Woo ......!!!!"
Hearing this violent barking of the dog, the sticky thing gave up on me directly, crawled past me, and chased after the source of the barking sound.
It's actually a slug? Such a big one! Fortunately, I didn't cut it, but this thing may not die if it is chopped......
When the sound of crawling was gone, I continued unhurriedly.
The more times like this, the more calm you must be, if you pull your legs, it will be difficult to run to ensure that you will not be targeted.
I can't figure it out, is that nightmare really cold? How did a slug get infected with such a small thing, adhering to the principle that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is also meat? Shouldn't that be...... As soon as it eats it, it will have to digest it.
Don't think about things you don't understand, otherwise you have a headache if you think too much, and in this era of waste is not as good as when I was on a mission before, the more I don't understand, the more I have to think hard.
Thinking about it for more than a minute in this kind of place is killing Lord Yama.
It's finally here.
Well? Someone upstairs?
"It's all your fault! If you hadn't cried and cried that day to lure the Nightmare Monster over! We wouldn't have died so many brothers! You're a drag bottle, I want to kill you! ”
"Forget it, the team has already killed so many brothers, and Xiaoice also knows that she is wrong, don't scare her."
"Shut up! Twelve brothers! It's all dead! They're out there now as corpses! How do you make me forgive her! ”
"I ...... I was wrong. ”
"We were ordered to come out to look for supplies, but we didn't expect them to be found, but they were blocked inside, and the brothers were almost dead. It's hateful! Why is there such a monster as a nightmare in this rotten city? ”
"Team! Listen, there's movement outside! ”
I walked downstairs to the convenience store and noticed that there was a terrifying howl of corpses coming from around the first floor, and although I couldn't see clearly, I could hear it through my ears, and there were definitely a lot of them.
Although the voices of the people upstairs were small, my hearing was beyond ordinary people after being strengthened, and although it was a little blurry, I still listened to the conversation.
I don't have half a sense of joy, in this day and age, encountering people in the wild may be worse than encountering corpses.
But a detour is almost impossible now, the street is clogged with corpses, and convenience stores may have much-needed supplies.
The backpack is now empty, and even if you leave ZM City like this, you will starve to death on the way.
Do you want to kill it? These corpses are all genetics, and they are all low-level goods, without the strengthening of the moonlit night, and the action is not very fast. As long as I'm careful, I still have a chance.
As I approached the convenience store, I could see the silhouettes of the corpses with enhanced vision.
Actually, I don't want to be a gambler, it's my life to be overwhelmed at this table! But fate, the miscellaneous things raised by Bichi, forced Lao Tzu to gamble!
Whether it's the sun mark in the palm of my left hand or the lack of supplies, I have to do this vote!
I can imagine how hideous my face is at this moment, and I suddenly raise my hand and fall down!
Directly cut off the heads of the two corpses in front of you.
"Detected host kill [Level 1 Corpse], Gene Value +1."
The corpses around me were attracted by the sudden slash, and all of them screamed and surrounded me.
Unfortunately, they were not moving quickly, and before they could close the encirclement, I had already cut down several of them.
"Detected host kill [Level 1 Corpse], Gene Value +1."
“+1+1+1+1+1+1……”
"Check that the host killed [Level 2 Corpse], and the gene value is +2."
“+2+2+2+2……”
I slashed at the corpse with a cold face, ignoring the constant sound of prompts in my head, but there was one thing that I cared about.
The second-level goods color is actually only +2! You must know that the third-level goods color has been added to +10, and the gap is too big!
Call...... Call...... No, it's coming up, I'm going to be submerged like this, it's really an elephant that ants bite to death!
The speed of each swing of my knife slowed a little, and I gasped for breath, and before I knew it, I had cut down dozens of corpses in a row.
In this kind of environment where people can't concentrate and have to be on guard at all times, the consumption of physical strength is exponential.
Outside the convenience store, I was cutting and retreating, and I was about to retreat into the corner.
If you really get to that point, it's over, and if you squeeze into the corner, you will only be eaten with your body that is about to be exhausted.
It's not that I didn't think about leaving these corpses and rushing directly to the convenience store on the second floor, but most of the people inside also locked the store.
There is nothing to do to make up for it when you go up, and you will die even worse if you are blocked at the narrow staircase, in case you touch a few more from the upstairs behind you, it will really be called every day, and the earth will not work.
No, it's a big deal to go back the way you came, it's all because you earned some gene value on this trip.
I swung my knife and slashed down the corpses that approached me, and rolled on the ground a few times.
At this moment, I don't have time to pay attention to the prompt in my head, I only have one thought now, hurry up!
