Chapter Seventy-Nine: Experiments
Zhang Si dodged Chen Changsheng who pounced, and the blade slashed across its belly, the sharp blade cut through the flesh on its belly, and the white and green intestines flowed out from the opening of the stomach.
Chen Changsheng didn't feel anything, he still rushed over and wanted to bite Zhang Si, his intestines slipped under his feet and were trampled by itself, and Chen Changsheng's body slipped forward and fell to the ground.
"MD, what kind of monster is this," Zhang Si roared angrily, and slashed at Chen Changsheng's head with a blade, and as the red-white brain splattered out, Chen Changsheng, who had been cut off half of his head, collapsed to the ground, his body losing his vitality.
Zhang Si gasped for breath on the side, his body was already soaked with sweat, he was easy to deal with humans, but it was very tricky to deal with such a monster, there was no pain, no killing, bloodthirstiness and other factors indicate that this is not a simple opponent, at least he has never met it before.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, Chen Changsheng did not continue to get up and fight with himself as Zhang Si expected, its body was lying motionless on the ground, blood was flowing from the wound around it, and the severed head was very terrifying.
"Dead?" Zhang Si walked over cautiously with questions, kicked Chen Changsheng's body with his foot, and after finding that it was indeed no longer moving, he put down his hanging heart.
Cao Lili curled up at the table, what happened just now was very serious to her fright and stimulation, which made her whole person numb, her eyes staring at Chen Changsheng on the ground, and she didn't know what she was talking about.
The blood on her wrist was still flowing, and Zhang Si walked over to help her bandage it to stop the bleeding, and then helped her to a chair next to her and sat down.
Cao Lili's spirit had collapsed, the whole person had lost consciousness, and there was only a numb expression left on her face, and when Zhang Si bandaged her, she didn't react at all.
Zhang Si looked at the ground behind him, where Chen Changsheng's body was lying motionless, and he suddenly thought of a question.
Chen Changsheng escaped from the pavilion until he got into the car, except for the wound on his shoulder, Cao Lili said that the wound was bitten by the people in the pavilion.
The question is here, could it be that Chen Changsheng became like this because of the bite on his shoulder, so it is possible that he became a zombie because of an injury and an infection. Thinking of this, Zhang Si hurriedly checked his body up and down, and after confirming that there were no wounds, he wiped the blood stains on the blade on the tablecloth.
Zhang Si's gaze fell on Cao Lili again, her wrist had been bandaged, and it seemed that she had not continued to bleed for the time being, but Zhang Si thought of the wound infection and mutated Chen Changsheng, and felt that Cao Lili was very likely to be the same as Chen Changsheng.
Zhang Si found a clean tablecloth from the table next to him, tore it into long strips of cloth, and then twisted the torn strips of cloth together and twisted them into ropes.
Zhang Si walked to Cao Lili's side and saw that she was still chattering in a distracted manner. Zhang sighed and tied her tightly to the chair with a rope, and then tied her feet under the chair as well.
After doing all this, Zhang Si did not leave, but moved a chair, sat opposite Cao Lili, and began to observe her changes.
Time passed very slowly in the process of waiting, and Cao Lili didn't seem to change much at first, but as time slowly passed, Zhang Xi saw some clues in her.
The initial change was that Cao Lili's pupils began to shrink and become smaller, and after a short time, Zhang Si found that her skin began to fade away from blood, and slowly appeared lifeless grayish-white, the muscles in the eye sockets began to sink, and the entire eyeball slowly turned white until the pupil was no longer visible inside.
Zhang Xi knew that his judgment was right, and Cao Lili had already begun to mutate.
Cao Lili's eyes began to close, and she couldn't see the ups and downs of her breathing, and the hall became quiet, so quiet that Zhang Si could hear the sound of sweat dripping on her forehead on the ground, Zhang Si put her hand on Cao Lili's chest, its heartbeat was so slow that it could barely feel its presence.
It's almost there, Zhang Xi told himself in his heart that he was here.
When Cao Lili opened her eyes again, Zhang Xi saw the same face as the zombies she had seen on the highway, its eyes were hollow, but its expression was very hideous. Cao Lili felt the living person sitting in front of her, and began to pounce fiercely, but her body, hands and feet were tied to the chair, Cao Lili's body rushed halfway and lost her balance, and the whole person fell forward with the chair, and her face hit the ground directly.
Zhang Si walked behind it and helped it up with the chair, Cao Lili turned her head back, wanting to bite Zhang Si behind her, but unfortunately the distance was not enough, and its teeth could not reach Zhang Si's hand.
Zhang Si saw Cao Lili's neck twisted to an extremely exaggerated angle from behind, and couldn't help but add some views on zombies, and his professional habits made him always instinctively do some analysis and summary in his daily experience. Zhang Si has basically mastered the abilities and characteristics of zombies, and has a certain understanding of zombies' attack methods and habits, and the only thing left to do is to confirm the zombie's fatal weakness that can make it fatal.
Combined with the previous experience of fighting with Chen Changsheng, Zhang Xi identified this fatal weakness in the head of the zombie, all the fatal positions on Chen Changsheng's body that could be fatal to normal people had been attacked by him before, except for the attack that finally cut off half of the head and ended its life, the other attacks seemed to have no effect on the mutated Chen Changsheng.
This time, Zhang Xi decided to test it directly from the head first.
Looking at Cao Lili, who was about to break her neck in front of her, Zhang Si silently said in her heart, "I'm sorry." ”
Zhang Xi grabbed the hair behind Cao Lili's head with his left hand from behind and pulled her head back hard. Cao Lili's face was tilted up, facing the ceiling above, a living human face appeared above its eyes, Cao Lili was about to stand up to bite the face, a jet-black blade stabbed through its eye socket, the blade directly sank into the entire head, and the tip of the blade went all the way to the throat.
Cao Lili's body lost its vitality and collapsed in her chair and stopped moving.
Zhang Si's hand trembled slightly, he had made a lot of determination to stab this knife just now, and as he expected, the zombie's weakness was really in the head.
After confirming this, Zhang Si's heart calmed down a lot, knowing the opponent's weaknesses, everything will become simpler, Zhang Si's years of training have already taught him how to target the opponent's weaknesses to carry out the most effective attack.
The blood on the blade was rubbed against Cao Lili's clothes, and Zhang Xi let go of the hand that was grabbing its hair, and a trace of guilt appeared in his heart.
Zhang Si shook his head, waving the slightest feeling out of his head, he went into the kitchen, cleaned the blood stains on his hands with dish soap on the desk, and then picked up the backpack that had been dropped on the ground and walked out of the restaurant.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the camouflage Chevrolet body, giving it a different glow, and the glass reflects a golden light.
It's getting dark.
Zhang Si sat in the car, turned on his mobile phone and looked at it, there was no information and call prompts on it. Zhang Xi pressed the familiar number again, and the artificial voice came from the other end of the phone.
Zhang Si was a little disappointed, and after looking at the battery on his phone, he sent a text message to that number.
"Manman, I'm already on my way to find you, and if you see this message, I'm not far from you. You must protect yourself from those who have mutated and injured and try to stay in a safe place. If possible, please let me know your location by message, phone, and be sure to let me know. I don't know how long the battery of my phone can last, so I'm going to turn it off and only turn it on at 9 a.m., 12 noon and 6 p.m. every day. I won't give up looking for you, dear. ”
A feeling of exhaustion hit, Zhang Si turned off his mobile phone and began to fall asleep.
The sky outside the car window turned from blue to ink, and when it was covered with stars, white moonlight sprinkled over the land. In the ancient village in the forest park, the stone bricks and mud tiles are plated with a layer of silver, and the mottled shadows of the trees are cast on the ancient wall, as if an invisible hand is writing something on it.
In several houses in the scenic area, there are still some survivors hiding, the number of zombies wandering outside is not very large, most of them are concentrated near the house where the survivors are hiding, Zhang Si is asleep in the car, and he doesn't know what happened outside.
There was a faint cry in one room, then a man whispered something, and then the two voices disappeared together, and the night returned to peace.
When the sky turned white, Zhang Si woke up. I went to bed early last night, and now it seems that my energy is recovering very well. Zhang Si was deep in the driver's seat, slightly moved the muscles and bones of his lower upper body, and he slept in the car all night, and his feet were a little numb.
Zhang Xi looked outside the car, found nothing abnormal, and walked out of the car. The door of the restaurant was still open, Zhang Xi locked the car door, entered with a short knife, and went to check the bodies of Chen Changsheng and Cao Lili again. The corpse was the same as yesterday, the only difference was that the blood had clotted. Zhang Si walked into the kitchen, rinsed his face with cold water, and when he came out, his eyes fell on the two corpses again.
August is a very hot month, with temperatures approaching 30 degrees Celsius even at night. For more than a dozen hours from yesterday to today, the corpses seemed to have not been touched, not only did no one touch them, but even flies and insects did not patronize them.
"Flies," Zhang Xi's eyes lit up, and his brain had caught this unusual phenomenon.
It doesn't take long for a normal corpse to begin to decompose and attract flies and insects under such high temperatures, but the two corpses in the restaurant did not have any traces of flies and insects.
Zhang Si made up his mind and decided to verify this new discovery on the way back.
Back in the car, Chevrolet began to run on the road in the face of the morning sun.
