Chapter 7 Chance Encounters in the Hotel (Middle).

Half a minute later, looking at a bead lying on his left hand wrapped in a tablecloth, Zhou Hong blinked. The material of the beads is closer to glass, and I pinched it vigorously with my hands, the surface is very hard, about the size of an egg, and it is perfectly round, and after wiping the stains on the surface with a tablecloth, it looks extremely smooth, coupled with the faint orange soft light that naturally shines from the inside, making the whole bead beautiful and abnormal, it is not ordinary at first glance, just like his dagger, which exudes a faint silver light at the moment.

"If it's before the end of the world, this bead should be able to sell for a good price, right?" Looking at the beads that looked very beautiful in front of him, Zhou Hong muttered. "But then again, why is there a bead in the heart of this zombie? Zombies are human...... It stands to reason that the human heart should also be in the body...... No...... No, this kind of monster...... Maybe from the moment they transformed into zombies, their bodies had already changed. Faced with the beads that were suddenly discovered, Zhou Hong guessed.

"But what does this bead do? It's pretty to look at. Looking at the beads in front of him, Zhou Hong didn't know what to do for a while.

Is it abandoned? This kind of thing, which is not a mortal thing at first glance, but also a product of the end times, Zhou Hong really doesn't want to throw it away like this, even if he wants to throw it away, he must first figure out what it is; Is it used? Zhou Hong looked at the thing in front of him that if there was no light, it was like the glass ball that he played with his friends in his rural hometown when he was a child, and thought with a look of eating Xiang: "Nima, this thing won't have to be swallowed directly by Lao Tzu to have an effect......, right?"

Fortunately, the question of "to be, or not to be" that Zhou Hong looked like didn't bother him for too long, just when Zhou Hong was still in the middle of his wild thoughts, he suddenly felt a strange movement from the dagger in his right hand, and then it was: "!" Don't come here! ”

I saw that the dagger on the right hand at this time, the two pitch-black "roots" that formed the grip slowly stretched out respectively, and after extension, one stretched to the bead in the left hand, and at the same time, the top of this "root" squirmed and became extremely sharp, and finally under Zhou Hong's watchful gaze, one pierced the "shell" of the bead that seemed hard to him, and stretched into the orange light inside; And the other "root" ...... "the groove!" Don't come here! In Zhou Hong's shouting, it stretched out to the position of his heart.

………………

Zhou Hong now felt that he was unprecedentedly sad, at this time he was lying on his back on the floor, panting and looking up from time to time at a small "root" that had been pierced in his chest, wanting to cry without tears.

Nima...... Brother, it took eight lifetimes of blood mold to pick up this dagger...... "Although this dagger has not caused him further damage, and for now, it is still helping him improve his physique...... But...... It's really uncomfortable...... Who has ever tried the feeling that Nima's heart has been rooted alive by a "tree root"?

10 minutes ago......

"! Don't come here! Seeing that another "tree root" actually pierced his heart, Zhou Hong was furious at that time, thinking that the hard shell of the "glass ball" was easily pierced by the "tree root", and his flesh and blood body was not pierced one by one?

Immediately, Zhou Hong wanted to get rid of the dagger in his hand, but he was desperate to find that at some point where the palm of his right hand touched the handle of the dagger, some very small and tough roots grew, and the roots pierced the surface of the skin of the palm and played a fixed role, it looked as if Zhou Hong's right palm and the handle of the dagger were directly connected by someone with a needle and thread.

"Peat, isn't this a cheat?" Finding that he couldn't shake off the dagger, Zhou Hong's face turned green. And the speed at which the "roots" extend is not too slow...... Then, under Zhou Hong's gaze again, the "tree root" plunged into his heart.

"Poof!"

The sound of flesh and blood being punctured came, Zhou Hong only felt a sharp pain in the position of his heart, and then soon there was a very uncomfortable feeling, this feeling was difficult to describe, in short, under this uncomfortable feeling, the heart was stabbed and only suffered for a moment and could be ignored at all.

"Vomiting ......" Zhou Hongqiang, who was uncomfortable, endured the feeling of retching and lay down on the spot, his heart seemed to be pressed by a big stone, and his breathing involuntarily became heavier and heavier.

"Whew...... Call...... When's the time...... The end...... Difficult...... Unbearable to death...... ......Ten minutes later, Zhou Hong was still lying on the ground, looking up from time to time at the two "roots" connected to the bead and his heart, and the "energy bulge" that was absorbed from the light of the bead and then transmitted to his heart, muttered sweaty.

If it weren't for the fact that every time the "energy bulge" was transmitted, he could clearly feel that his physique and strength were improving in all aspects, Zhou Hong felt that he really couldn't tell how long he could survive in such an uncomfortable feeling.

After a few more minutes, there was a soft "click" sound from the connected beads on the side, and Zhou Hong noticed that the "glass ball" that had become dull and dull cracked from the middle, and then split into two, two and four, and slowly turned into powder; And the "roots" rooted in his heart also broke away with a "pop", and the two "roots" slowly contracted, and then entangled back to the appearance of a dagger grip.

It was also at this time that Zhou Hong finally heard the voice in his head in a sober state: "Ding Dong!" Absorb the Ancestor Zombie Type I energy core, detect the Ancestor Zombie Type I mutant gene in the host, inject energy, and start activating the gene, Ding Dong! Activation is successful, and the random generation ability is medium...... The host gains the Ancestral Zombie Type I ability: Might. ”

"Uh...... This...... What's the situation......" Hearing the voice in his head, Zhou Hong looked confused, "What the hell is the Ancestor Zombie Type I?" Is this mutant zombie named? Energy Core ...... That's the bead, right? And what is the Ancestral Zombie Type I mutation gene? Where did I get the Rausch zombie gene in my body...... Forehead ......"

Zhou Hong remembered the ridiculously strong zombie last night, the same level as the one in front of him...... "Is that zombie?" Suddenly, Zhou Hong seemed to understand something, why did his injuries recover after last night, why was his heart gouged out and his heart returned after a night?

That's all because: after he fell unconscious, the dagger did the same thing to himself——— absorbed the zombie and converted it into energy and converted it to himself, but at that time it absorbed the zombie's genes to strengthen and repair his body, but after the genes were absorbed, he fell asleep in his body.

Until now, when I met another zombie of the same level, I absorbed its energy core by mistake, which activated the sleeping zombie gene in my body, and randomly got an ability from that zombie? "So...... Brother has changed from 'quasi-superman' to 'superman' now? Touching the wound on his chest that was slowly recovering, Zhou Hong crooked.

Looking at the dagger in his hand, which had been restored to its original state, Zhou Hong said: "For the sake of you giving my brother an ability, I don't care if you make me so uncomfortable this time." Getting a good combat ability, and improving all aspects of physical fitness will undoubtedly make people feel a lot more confident, looking past the zombie in front of him to the stairs on the second floor, silently chanting in his heart: "Wait for me, Dad" and then took a step.

The second floor is decorated in the same style as the first floor, and the surroundings are dimly lit and quiet. But with Zhou Hong's enhanced vision now, if you look closely, it is not difficult to find a small number of small green rattan plants growing on the surrounding ground and ceiling......

After Zhou Hong went up to the second floor, he just glanced at it casually and walked to the third floor non-stop, after all, his purpose was originally to find his father or father's news, of course, he went straight to his destination at the beginning, and since he saw the dead zombie on the first floor, he always thought in his heart that there was a very high probability of mutant plants in this hotel! In this case, of course, the sooner you achieve your goal, the sooner you leave.

Zhou Hong, who was rushing to the third floor, didn't notice some tiny green rattan plants appearing around the dim surroundings at all, but the sound of something falling to the ground and the faint moans of pain that followed sounded in this silent environment, which made Zhou Hong stop his steps: "Someone? With the thought, 'Maybe this person will know something about this hotel or news about his father', Zhou Hong turned around and walked slowly while identifying the source of the voice.

The moaning sound seemed to come from a certain room on this level, and if it weren't for Zhou Hong's hearing being strengthened now, and the silence around him, it would be really difficult to tell the source of this sound. Lightly came to a closed door, listened intently, a faint moan came from inside, put his hand on the groove in the door and pulled, the sliding door did not open, and the door lock was locked from the inside.

Standing outside the door and thinking about it for a while, he decided to reach out and knock lightly on the door, "tuk tuk" twice, although he lightened the force, he still felt a little harsh in this silent environment. The door seemed to be startled by the sudden knock, and suddenly the faint moaning disappeared, and the surrounding area returned to a deathly silence.

After about ten seconds, a weak and hesitant voice came from the other side of the door: "Yes...... Who is it? Hearing this voice, Zhou Hong suddenly felt a little familiar, but because the other party may have been injured, his voice was weak, and he couldn't hear it. After thinking about it, I still thought I could ask: "I'm here to find my dad, I wonder if he's still here?" My dad used to come here to play cards, on the top floor, called ......"

"Zhou Hong? Are you Zhou Hong? Who knows, before Zhou Hong finished speaking, there was a response from the door, and this time there was a little excitement in his voice, "Huh? You are? Zhou Hong also felt quite surprised, he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here, "click" the sound of the door lock opening, "you...... Come in......" After unlocking the door, the voice inside returned to weakness.

"Huh~" gently opened the door, and what appeared in front of Zhou Hong was a sturdy tattooed young man who looked about the same age as himself, the young man sat weakly on the wall on the side, there was already a pool of blood on the ground where he was sitting, and many of the wounds on the young man's body belonged to the wounds that were whipped, and the most serious wounds were two: one was a bloody hole the size of a fist that was penetrated on the right thigh; One was a three-bony scratch on the left shoulder, and blood was pouring out of both wounds.

"Hey...... Ahem...... Brother Zhou, I haven't seen you for a long time...... I didn't expect to see you again in this situation......" When the young man saw Zhou Hong who came in, he reluctantly pulled out a smile and greeted Zhou Hong, "You...... You are...... Feilong? Zhou Hong asked uncertainly.

Because of this young man, Zhou Hong has not contacted him for too long, so that his impression of him is a little vague——— Li Feilong, known as "Brother Feilong" on the road, can be said to be Zhou Hong's hair small, one year younger than Zhou Hong, and the relationship has always been good, but since Li Feilong mixed with the underworld, the two have gradually broken off contact......
