Yes, I've stolen chickens, I've stolen pigs, I've stolen sheep, I've eaten people, but I really didn't kill anyone.

The children who drowned in the puddles, they had nothing to do with me. Anyway, people have to be cremated and buried when they die, and I eat their corpses, what's wrong with that?

Wang Fushou's thinking is very simple, as innocent as a child.

Liu Tianming gulped Wang Fushou's heart. This piece of fresh meat is extremely rich in nutrients, especially for the mutated cells in your body, it is a rare good thing.

That's what the cell told him.

This is not the first time he has eaten people, and he has long lost the intellectual restraint of his thinking. While munching wildly, Liu Tianming felt as if he had also become a part of the mutated cell, completely acting on instinct.

There is a new energy surging in the body. It quickly transforms into a myriad of streams that mingle with each mutated cell. The cells are jubilant, opening their bodies to welcome the arrival of this new energy. It's like a man who has been abstinent for many years and suddenly sees a beautiful woman with big breasts and fat buttocks, and he has to pounce on it and entangle it regardless of it.

Liu Tianming raised his right hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He felt a new ability in his body, as if he had a pair of strange eyes capable of directly "seeing" through the inside of his body. At the location of his heart and spleen in his abdomen, two reddish shimmers appeared. Then, an extremely mysterious consciousness appeared in the depths of the brain.

The degree of evolution is insufficient, and there are currently only two kalels of nutrition, and one kalel is still missing.

Three Karls will be able to evolve to the first stage of larvae.

The pain from the wound site has been greatly reduced. Apparently, the heart that has just swallowed is refueling itself.

It is only now that Liu Tianming really understands the concept of the word "nutrition" mentioned by the mysterious people on the Internet.

This is indeed a substance that can cause different infected individuals to compete with each other and fight each other. As long as you successfully hunt and devour the opponent, the opponent's energy can be used by you. This is completely different from the energy that ordinary humans obtain through food to sustain their lives. This is a special substance that comes from the most basic of infected living organisms. As long as it is accumulated a little bit, it can be transformed into a substantial leap.

The streets in the distance were dead silent, and the streetlights were scattered from a distant location, and only a faint yellowish glow could be seen. The moon had been obscured again by heavy clouds, and there was no outcropping or light.

Liu Tianming discovered that he had a special visual ability to see objects clearly in the dark.

Wang Fushou's head hung upside down on the side of his shoulder, and as the body gradually became cold and stiff, the severed head swayed from side to side, like a tumbler that had lost its center of gravity.

Liu Tianming chose another path and bypassed here from other directions. Half an hour later, he was back home. By this time, he had already thrown away the black sweatshirt in the garbage room on the side of the road and lit it with the lighter he had with him.

He's smart. Everything was prepared in advance, and various contingency plans were prepared.

It's not that Liu Tianming can predict the future, but since he killed Xiao Wu and sucked the blood in his body, Liu Tianming felt that the development of things was beyond his control. In order to be as safe as possible, it is important to prepare well in advance of normal times.

The money that Chen Po left to herself played a big role.

Glancing at the time on my phone, there was still more than an hour before dawn. Liu Tianming boiled a pot of boiling water as fast as he could, and walked into the bathroom to wash his blood-stained body.

He was very careful, moved very lightly, did not wake up the upstairs and downstairs neighbors, and did not use the electric water heater. As trivial as these things may seem, who can guarantee that some kind of clue will not be discovered because of the anomaly?

Be careful, there's always nothing wrong with that.

Thanks to the nutrients he had just gotten from Caller, the wound on his shoulder that had been bitten by Wang Fushou recovered quickly. At dawn at five o'clock, Liu Tianming saw in the mirror that there was still a hole of about five centimeters left in his left shoulder. The muscle layer has grown well and there is no bleeding. It's just that the skin repairs more slowly, and it may not heal completely until after noon.

This is the special ability of mutant infected.

As long as they don't die on the spot during a match, they heal themselves in a short period of time.

In fact, this is also a kind of self-protection ability of mutant cells, a wonderful coexistence phenomenon with the host———— if even the host is dead, no matter how powerful the mutant cells are, it has no meaning.

Wang Fushou's body was placed there. Presumably, it has now been discovered by the early sanitation workers and is calling the police in a panic.

Liu Tianming cleaned the scene very cleanly. In any case, the police will not track him down.

……

It is impossible for things under the world to go according to your own ideas forever. Liu Tianming walked out of the house at a fixed time, got on the bus, and when he was about to get to the entrance of the hospital, he saw a police car parked on the side of the road in the distance.

Huang He saw Liu Tianming walking towards him from the rear mirror of the police car, so he jumped down from the cab and waved at him.

The police uniform on his body was very messy, he didn't unbuckle the bulletproof vest, and the sleeves of his two clothes were rolled up high, revealing his thick arms covered with thick sweat. The skin color is somewhat pale and the blood vessels bulge under the skin, full of power.

Liu Tianming was a little uneasy, deliberately made an unexpected look, and first shouted: "Why are you here?" ”

Huang He had a half-smoked cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and the expression on his face was very tired. He smiled faintly: "I went to the suburbs to perform a mission yesterday, and I just came back, and I arrived five minutes earlier than you, and I was about to return to the bureau." Passing by here, I remembered that you were also at work at about this time, so I stopped for a while and wanted to ask you to have breakfast together. ”

Without waiting for Liu Tianming to speak, Huang He continued to laugh at himself and said, "Actually! It's me who feels tired and wants to take a break and smoke a cigarette. ”

Liu Tianming nodded thoughtfully. He knew that there was a small pot of rice noodles in a nearby breakfast shop. So Huang He locked the car door, and the two of them walked towards it.

The business of the rice noodle stall is very good. After waiting for nearly ten minutes, Liu Tianming brought two bowls of steaming rice noodles from the window. Huang He had been sitting on a stool and smoking, and the strong smell of smoke drove away a lot of the diners around him. He sat there with a big grin, flicking his cigarette ash as if no one was around. Although there were many empty seats next to it, no one came to sit down. The proprietress had obviously had undergone lip tattooing surgery and was cocking high, and her two eyes, black under the cover of makeup, glared at the Yellow River viciously, intending to drive this damn guy away with eyes that were enough to kill.

The Yellow River picked up the rice noodles and snorted and ate them. He eats rudely, and his mouth makes a loud noise. Liu Tianming could only smile bitterly when he watched it from the side. He believed that if it weren't for the police uniform on Huang He's body, I am afraid that the people around him would have surrounded him, either to judge him, or to start scolding.

Maybe Huang He also knows that his appearance is disgusting. After eating, he wiped his mouth and pulled Liu Tianming away.

The two men returned to the police car, and Huang He got into the cab and lit another cigarette. Liu Tianming stood outside the car and saw that the thick smoke quickly enveloped the Yellow River, and the outline of the whole person became faint and blurred.

"During this time, you should pay attention, and don't run around outside if you are fine."

The windows were open, and the slight flow of wind rolled smoke out of the police car, which was not as fast as the Yellow River's mouth and nose were spitting. He leaned out of the car window and patted Liu Tianming on the shoulder very hard, his voice was hoarse, and his expression was solemn: "Nima's, there are some guys who eat people and kill people everywhere." The job of a police officer is to work with his head pinned to the waistband of his trousers. Really, listen to me, be careful, and don't have any surprises. ”

Liu Tianming was a little puzzled.

This is not the same as the Yellow River, which is usually grinning and arrogant.

Especially the words that came out of his mouth were more like a side attack on what happened to him last night. Liu Tianming didn't dare to be tempted, and he definitely didn't want Huang He to arrest him because of this matter. He controlled the urge to ask things clearly, and said seriously, "What's wrong with you today?" Isn't it uncomfortable? ”

Huang He shook his head. Suddenly, I felt that the smell of tobacco in my mouth was so bitter. He casually threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, stared at a pair of bloodshot eyes, and slowly leaned back in his seat.

"One of my colleagues is gone."

Huang He's voice was soft, full of pain and self-reproach: "I could have saved him." If I had been more resolute at that time, if I had pulled him away at that time, he wouldn't have been like that. You don't know, he must have died a painful death, and the torture was beyond imagination. He called the police for help, but did not survive. When he died, he must have been scolding me for why I didn't reach out and pull him......"

Huang He never mentioned to Liu Tianming what happened in the Liuhe County funeral home.

There is a strict discipline of secrecy within the police. As long as he does not involve the facts of the case, he can vent his emotions wantonly in front of Liu Tianming. In fact, Huang He didn't just come to the hospital door a few minutes early to wait for Liu Tianming. He's been waiting here for almost half an hour.

From yesterday to today, the figure of forensic doctor Tang Wei has been floating in front of the Yellow River.

He felt fear, he felt guilty. Huang He felt that he had to find someone to talk to. If this emotion is allowed to be entangled in his brain, Huang He feels that he will not be able to bear it and go crazy.

Qi Yuanchang was originally a good person to talk to. But he's busy right now, and there's so much he needs to deal with. Everyone up and down in Liuhe County was given a gag order. Insiders range from officials to ordinary clerks, and no one is allowed to disclose information to the outside world. Otherwise, it will be punished as the crime of leaking secrets.

Huang He is Qi Yuanchang's cronies, and naturally knows more things than others.

This extremely bizarre case of viral infection is happening all over the world today. Fortunately, the scale is not large, and the number of infected people is not large.
