Chapter 242: The Whole City Mutates
I saw that the black cat, which had no news, was standing in front of my house at the moment, as if waiting for me to return.
Seeing this black cat, my heart sank suddenly, I actually ignored it, if I knew, I should have told this black cat when I made a deal with the demon, but now it is obviously too late.
But I wasn't afraid of it, so I touched the charm in my hand and walked slowly towards it.
The black cat's eyes were staring at me all the time, with a faint hint of sarcasm.
Although this cat is much more spiritual than a normal cat, this is definitely not an expression that a cat can make.
I narrowed my eyes slightly, stared at it and said, "Who are you?" What are you doing with me now? ”
After hearing me say this, the black cat walked two steps slightly, its shriveled body was really a little scary to look at in this situation.
At this time, the black cat suddenly spoke, and a strange voice rolled out of the black cat's throat: "You can't stop it, get out of here quickly." ”
"So you're going to continue to hurt people?" I immediately turned cold and looked at it coldly.
I already regret it a little bit the last time I didn't catch this black cat, and now I have to catch him...... If you want to find me like this, you will directly take out the thunder guide talisman in your pocket, and directly raise your hand, intending to summon the heavenly thunder.
But at this time, the black cat suddenly smiled, and a strange arc appeared on its face, as terrifying as it was, just like acting in a movie.
Then I saw an afterimage, and suddenly it disappeared in place.
I hurried to the place where the black cat had just stood, but I didn't notice a trace of the black cat's breath at all, and there was no trace of the black cat around me, as if it had never appeared.
At this time, I realized that the black cat just now was an afterimage, and its own body did not come at all, no wonder the black cat could speak.
Thinking about it, the last time we surrounded him with so many people, he would definitely be a little suspicious now, and probably wouldn't dare to come to see me directly.
I put the charm back in my pocket and thought carefully about what he had just said, what did I mean? Could it be that they are more powerful than demons?
He also advised me to leave here early, but he didn't tell anyone else, and it seemed like he meant it...... Don't you want to put me in danger? Or is it ...... Let me stop meddling in this matter?
I couldn't figure it out, so I stayed outside for a while and then went back to my house.
If possible, I would also like the healthy people in this city to leave here sooner, but I don't have that much appeal, and I can't get them to leave for a normal reason, unless there is another dragon-like incident here.
I sighed, I just wanted to catch the black cat, but before I knew it, I was sinking deeper and deeper, and now it was difficult to get out.
The night was uneventful.
Early in the morning, I saw the news of the experimental base on the Internet, and it was reported that there was a sudden fire in the experimental base, which burned everything inside, and those people who were originally in the experimental base did not even have intact bones, but after the experimental base was destroyed, the surrounding air was much fresher.
The report didn't say that the people inside were already dead, and it seems that they still don't plan to tell the masses about those people.
But it should be right, they don't want to cause panic either.
I originally thought that after the black cat appeared, it would quickly complete this formation, but no, for three days, the whole city was very calm.
During this period, I sent food to Li Zhi a few times, he is still alive and well, and his physical condition is also recovering rapidly, he is missing an arm, there is no blood to flow, and he doesn't seem to have much pain, but the degree of decay on that face is getting bigger and bigger.
Originally, it was just a mouth that had rotted, but now it has spread to the height of the temples, and the upper half of the face that was originally white has appeared spots at the moment, and if this trend continues, he will definitely become the same thing as those zombies.
But I promised him that he would let him live well, as long as he didn't harm others, I wouldn't do anything to him, if he was like this for the rest of his life, I guess I would raise him for the rest of his life.
I handed him a piece of raw meat that I had newly bought, Li Zhi hesitated for a moment and then took it, and then took it in a big gulp.
At first, I wanted to buy him some cooked meat, but he was not used to eating it, and it seemed that he could no longer accept normal condiments.
Once he ate a bite of cooked meat and vomited on the spot, and of course the vomit was all foul-smelling blood clots, and I had to get him some raw meat according to his taste.
Seeing him gobbling up, I pursed my lips and sat down next to him: "Do you know what you've become now?" You're almost like those zombies now......"
Li Zhi, who was gnawing on the raw meat in his hands, suddenly paused, then raised his head, looked at me with those eyes, and said slowly: "If one day I really become a zombie, will you kill me?" ”
I didn't want to lie to him and say, "I won't kill you, but only if you can't hurt others, let alone infect other creatures with the virus in your body." ”
Li Zhi lowered his head slightly, he looked at the piece of raw meat in his hand, and suddenly grinned, looking a little sad, he just looked at me and said: "If one day I really become a zombie, then you can kill me directly, I have no way to accept it, I will hurt the people I have been protecting, even if I am unconscious, I have no way to accept it." ”
I have to say that when he said this, I was really shocked, and then I admired him a little.
His willpower was so strong, and what he said now was so moving, but I nodded, "If there really is such a day, I will definitely kill you." ”
He didn't speak, he lowered his head, biting raw meat one bite at a time, and within three days, I found that his appetite was also much larger, originally at the beginning of a meal only two catties of meat can be, but now he has to eat ten catties of raw meat at a meal, almost every moment to eat meat, it is possible that the amount of food will become larger in the future, maybe one day he will really be like the TV show, bite when he sees people, eat when he sees people.
At this time, a thought suddenly flashed through my heart: "You say...... Is there anything that can stop you from turning into a zombie? ”
He shook his head slightly: "I don't know. ”
Now that he had become like this, it wasn't when he was first infected, and the antidote was useless to him, but for a while I couldn't find anything that could make him go back to his original form.
At this time, I thought of Fang Tianzheng, I might as well ask him.
With that in mind, I called him directly, and I quickly got an answer.
When I came back the next day, I was carrying raw meat in one hand and a glass bottle in the other.
After handing him the raw meat, I watched him eat it bite by bite, and finally put the glass bottle in his hand.
"What is this? Detoxification water? Li Zhi looked at the small bottle in front of him and asked a little blankly.
"You put this thing on you, and soon you'll know what it is." I told him a little mysteriously that he had helped me anyway, and I wanted to see him happy.
Li Zhi looked at this glass bottle and hesitated a little, so I urged him and said, "Don't worry, this thing won't do anything to you." ”
He didn't say anything, just unscrewed the small glass bottle, it seemed that he wanted to use it directly here, but soon he thought of something, so he took the small glass bottle and left here and went to the bathroom.
I waited patiently outside, and after about half an hour, he came out of the bathroom.
Now I saw a look of shock on his face, and he said with some incredulity: "Can this thing suppress these viruses?" Can you make me what I used to be? ”
I shook my head, seeing that the spots on his face had faded a lot, and now his face was gradually returning to its previous appearance.
I said, "This thing can make you look like a normal person, it can make these spots on your body fade, you can keep your body from decaying for a certain period of time, but you have destroyed the original parts of your body, and it is impossible to recover......"
This potion is something I took out from the pharmacist base, and it uses a large dose of Zhuyan Pill and repair water, and I originally just tried it, but I didn't expect it to be used for the first time, and the effect is so obvious.
It's just that......
I looked at his mouth with a little regret, if I had noticed his abnormality earlier, and had gotten this thing earlier, maybe his mouth would have been fine now.
He touched his mouth, and his eyes suddenly turned a little red: "It's enough, I don't care what my appearance is as a man." You don't have to give me anything in the future, I'm here, and I won't go out anyway......"
"No, I won't lock you up here for the rest of your life, near this house, you can still go out for a walk, but you must dress up when you go out, and you can't let others find out, and now I'm just preliminarily researching this thing, maybe I will be able to research out the medicine that makes you normal in the future, only alive can there be hope, so you must live well." I said word by word.
Although there is nothing I can do now, I think this is the reason why I don't know enough about zombies, and if I know enough, I will definitely find a way to restrain the zombie virus.
"I feel that their clothes must be suitable for you to wear, and others don't dare to come here in a short time, you can use the things here as you like, if you are not used to wearing them, I will get you some clothes, you are still more handsome in formal clothes." I smiled slightly.
In fact, seeing him like this, I also feel a little sorry, a good person has become like this, but it has happened, and I won't think too much about it.
Originally, because everything would go smoothly, during this time, I also asked those old foxes in the pharmacist base to study the medicine to restrain the zombie virus, and during this period, I was not idle, and I went to the three places where the black cat did not kill people in this city, in case the black cat suddenly appeared.
I know it's not very useful, but it's my best effort right now.
Where will the next black cat appear?
For half a month in a row, everything was quiet.
Yesterday morning, I opened my eyes, and the sunlight outside the window was already shining in, and it looked a little pale, faint, and a little gray.
The sun was already shining all over the room, but I couldn't feel a trace of temperature, as if it were a light, not the sun at all.
I was a little stunned, I felt that something was wrong, the next moment I hurriedly got up and walked to the window, and suddenly pushed the window open, there was no cold wind outside, as if the air was still, there was obviously a big sun hanging in the sky, but how to look at it and how fake.
It was a strange feeling, and I glanced into the distance, only to find that there was no figure.
My house is in a quiet location, a long way from the bustling streets, but usually when I open the window and look, I can see people walking in the distance.
But it's not early today, why haven't I seen anyone?
I stood by the window for a long time, but I still didn't see a figure.
It was so quiet that I felt a little palpitations.
I cleaned up, put on a coat, and walked out of the door of my house, I wanted to see Li Zhi.
My intuition tells me that this strange situation can also be seen from Li Zhi.
But when I knocked on the door for a long time, there was no movement inside, and I found that the door was not locked, so I simply pushed the door open.
To my surprise, Li Zhi was standing in the middle of the room, he was wearing black clothes, a thick hat on his head, and a big black mask covering most of his face, wrapping himself tightly, his head hanging slightly, and the brim of his hat covered the upper half of his face.
If you don't know his current physical condition, you can't tell that he has a problem at all from the outside.
"What were you doing? I knocked on the door for a long time, didn't you hear? Seeing that he didn't move, I couldn't help but ask.
But he still didn't speak, I couldn't help but walk to his side, and reached out to pat him, but at this moment, he suddenly raised his head slowly, and at this moment, I saw his eyes.
My heart tightened suddenly, his eyes were familiar to me, the black pupils were a little white, they looked a little blurry, and there was a slight danger in the eyes, which was very aggressive.
Zombie!
The hand that was stretched out in the air was slowly retracted, and I looked at his eyes fixedly, what was going on? It was normal when I came to see him yesterday, why did his eyes become like this when I didn't see him overnight?
It's just that his eyes are a little different from those of zombies, just slightly white, and if you don't look closely, you think he's a foreigner.
"You ......" I opened my mouth to say something, but in the end I only managed to squeeze out a single word.
"I ......" he also opened his mouth slightly, and some muffled voices came from under the mask: "Am I a change?" ”
His voice trembled slightly, sounding a little frightened and a little cautious.
"What the hell is going on? What happened last night? Seeing that he was still conscious, I couldn't help but ask.
But he shook his head: "I don't know...... When I woke up this morning, I felt a little different, and I felt so hungry...... I really want to eat meat......"
Hearing him say this, my heart was a little nervous, I actually thought about it a long time ago, but one day I would become an unconscious zombie, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly.
Listening to what he said now, he can't control his behavior a little.
The hand tightened slightly, but the pharmacist base had not yet thoroughly researched the medicine for restraint......
"You can eat if you want, something is wrong outside, you don't want to go out today, or if you want to go out, wait for me to come back, and I'll walk with you." In the end, I just said this one sentence and left here.
He became like this overnight, so what about those three places? Could it have been an accident too?
With that in mind, I quickened my pace and wanted to go out and take a taxi to see the three places.
But when I walked out into the street, I saw some taxis, but there was no one in them, and the shops around me were not open.
I glanced at the time, and it was already time for taxis to open, what about them?
The streets were so quiet that there was no sound at all, and if I hadn't lived here for so long, I would have thought it was an empty city.
I slowed down, walked to a breakfast shop I frequented, and reached out and knocked on the door.
But there was no movement inside, so I directly picked the lock on it and pushed the door in.
No one.
It was empty.
I went to a few more shops, and even a few people's homes, but I still didn't see a single person.
Could it be that these people already know what to know and have all moved out overnight?
But those taxis out there...... What's going on? Don't they even want a car?
At this time, the images from the movie kept drilling into my mind, and I only felt a little tingling in my scalp.
I didn't even see a ghost, but there were a lot of spirits here, but today they are all gone.
I tentatively released a ghost to test the city to see if there was anyone in the city, but the ghost didn't come out, as if there was something in the air outside that it was afraid of.
The things that scared the ghosts, except for the things higher than him, were the ones they had never seen before.
It seems that this place is not as simple as it seems.
Could it be ......
A terrible thought formed in my mind.
At this moment, the taxi lights not far in front of me suddenly lit up, and the turn signals flashed.
Faintly, I saw what appeared to be a figure in the taxi.
Seeing the figure at this time, it was really intimate, I couldn't help it, I walked quickly to the front of the taxi.
Sure enough, I saw that there was already a person sitting inside, and he was sitting in the driver's seat.
"Do you want a ride?" The people inside suddenly saw me and asked me directly.
It's just that he wears a baseball cap on his head, and I can't see what his eyes look like.
But listening to his voice is still very normal, I can't help but ask, "Why are you the only taxi driver here?" Where have the rest of the people gone? ”
"If you don't take the car, don't delay my business." The driver didn't answer my question, and said impatiently.
As he spoke, he started the taxi directly, but after the taxi started, it didn't drive in a straight line, and it rushed out crookedly, but it suddenly hit the taxi in front of it, and it hit it very hard, and the car stopped all of a sudden, and the front of the car was also hit, and the taxi also emitted billowing smoke.
Looking at this scene, I already understood something in my heart.
I just watched as the door had been smashed and twisted, pushed open from the inside in front of me.
Bang bang bang......
Soon the car door was pushed open, and the driver actually got out of it, except for the clothes that were a little dirty, the whole person looked completely uninjured.
It's just that the hat on his head is gone, and at this time, he suddenly turned his head, and I saw a pair of white eyes, and the driver looked a little dazed, looking left and right, like a headless fly, walking wildly on the street.
He's turned into a zombie, and I thought about it the moment he drove it.
My heart sank suddenly, how could there be a zombie here?
Could it be that the black cat hurt people again yesterday? But I've met this driver a few times, and his family doesn't live in those three directions, so how can he be here?
It was at this moment that I suddenly heard the sound of a soot.
At this time, I realized that I didn't know when it was a little different from just now.
The people I didn't find just now are now out, I don't know where they came from, and now they are densely popping up on the side of the street......
But without exception, all of them are like headless flies, and their white eyes already mean that they have become zombies!
Without exception......
The city has turned into zombies except me!
