Chapter 5 A Little Test and Arrival

After getting off the elevator, the cool breeze after the wind and rain blew, and looked at the community without a figure around, Zhou Hong took a deep breath and walked to the outside of the community gate, he now needs to rush to the splendid hotel where his father often plays cards as soon as possible, the hotel is still a short distance from their community, and he has been delayed for a day and a night.

Out of the gate, you can see several zombies wandering slowly and aimlessly in the distance.

They seem to have severely deteriorated their eyesight, and they can only see things about 15 meters away, and they can't see any further away. But correspondingly, their sense of hearing has improved dramatically, and they usually hear small sounds; At the same time, they are sluggish, their joints seem to be filled with lead when they walk, and their strength seems to be only slightly greater than that of ordinary adults.

This is also the only one Zhou Hong found on the way home yesterday after observing several waves of zombies by evasion; But there are no absolutes in the world, like the zombies that Zhou Hong fought with last night, until now, Zhou Hong is still confused and doesn't know why this is happening, and he can only think that he can come to the conclusion that it is like a mutated zombie or a first-order zombie in some biochemical games or film and television works.

Looking at the few zombies that were still wandering in the distance, Zhou Hong took a light step and ran in the direction of the Splendid Hotel as little as possible without making a sound.

Along the way, there were constantly wandering zombies, and Zhou Hong's spirit was tense and he walked very carefully. It is necessary not only to slow down the footsteps, but also to carefully calculate the visual range of each zombie, and even the breathing is not consciously slowed down, and he does not dare to be too heavy---------- after all, there are too many zombies around, and Zhou Hong does not dare to take this risk.

Passing through yesterday's underground shopping mall from afar, I saw that the glass at the entrance gate of the underground shopping mall had been all broken, and the glass fragments were scattered all over the ground.

"Brother Li should be fine...... With his skills...... "Looking at the quiet entrance of the underground mall from afar, Zhou Hong thought to himself.

It's not that Zhou Hong didn't want to go inside to search, but now his main and most urgent purpose is to find his father, so he can only silently pray for Li Tie in his heart and leave away.

"Looks like my stamina has increased too?" Half an hour later, Zhou Hong, who realized it after walking half the way, suddenly noticed a problem: he had been nervously rushing for half an hour, and his body did not feel tired at all, but was extremely relaxed, and he didn't sweat a drop; The only thing is that the nerves are tense for a long time, which causes a little mental fatigue.

You must know that Zhou Hong belongs to the physique of a standard otaku, and he usually doesn't like to exercise, so he usually takes two steps and will catch his breath, so Zhou Hong generally doesn't go out easily, and he also takes a taxi or motorcycle when he goes out. But now for Zhou Hong, he has walked for such a long time, he has not rested once in the middle, and he does not feel tired at all. Zhou Hong was also a little surprised by this.

"Is it because of the zombie last night? Physical...... Strength...... I don't know if there has been any change in speed and agility......" Zhou Hong suddenly turned on the cranky mode, plus he usually likes to watch some novels or film and television works related to "the end of the world", "zombies", "viruses" and so on.

So in his concept, after the end of the world, with the passage of time, zombies will evolve, viruses will evolve, and even humans will evolve---------- of course, even he doesn't know if the settings described in those film and television works and novels can be applied to what is happening in reality now, but as a patient with secondary two diseases, this does not affect his whimsical stubbornness, does it?

"Isn't it...... I want to test it......" turned the corner at the end of the street another block, looking at a rare lonely zombie in the distance, the most important thing is that there are no zombies with other activities around, Zhou Hong licked his lips and thought.

"Except for the one I met last night, the other zombies I saw now are all moving slowly, if you deal with it carefully, it shouldn't be difficult to be surrounded by their groups," Zhou Hong, who made the decision, gently held the dagger and slowly touched the zombie in front of him.

The zombies wandered in the distance, stopping from time to time to let out a low roar or two, and they didn't seem to be aware of Zhou Hong, who was approaching lightly.

"15 meters, it's now!" Estimating the distance, he approached about 15 meters lightly, and Zhou Hong launched a sprint against the zombies in front of him! As soon as he took a step, Zhou Hong knew that his estimate should be correct, he felt that his pace and body were lighter than before, and his running speed was faster!

"Good!" Feeling the obvious change in speed, Zhou Hong's face was overjoyed, and then he rushed towards the zombie in front of him more intently! "Next up is to test the strength!" Thought with a hint of expectation.

"Roar!" As soon as Zhou Hong began to sprint, the zombie found Zhou Hong, roared at Zhou Hong, and pounced on Zhou Hong with teeth and claws.

With a burst of rotten stench, the zombie grabbed Zhou Hong with one hand, this grasp seemed extremely slow in Zhou Hong's eyes, Zhou Hong could easily dodge, but in order to test his current strength, Zhou Hong still handed over a dagger in the form of a rung.

"Poof!" The dagger was unexpected by Zhou Hong, cutting off most of the palm that the zombie had caught! And the expected resistance did not come, as if it was not a palm that was cut off in front of it, but a piece of tissue paper.

"This ......" with surprise, Zhou Hong subconsciously twisted his body, rotated his body on the axis of his toes, and went around the back of the zombie, this is a street fighting skill that Li Tie taught Zhou Hong before, and now it is subconsciously used by Zhou Hong. Then a dagger slashed at the back of the zombie's neck, and without hindrance, the dagger slashed through the zombie's neck again......

Looking at the zombies that fell to the ground and separated, Zhou Hong silently looked at his hands, and felt that he should have guessed correctly, the special zombie last night brought changes to his body, whether it was physical strength, strength or speed, and maybe the coordination of his body.

"Sure enough, risks and opportunities coexist......" His eyes swept over the zombie heads on the ground in a complicated manner, his eyes were wide open, thinking of the zombie that was ridiculously fast and powerful last night, and let himself die for the rest of his life, Zhou Hong muttered in a low voice.

"It seems that if you want to distinguish between special mutant zombies and ordinary zombies, in addition to the body, another place should be the color of the eyes......" Zhou Hong is not stupid, in fact, people like this who often love to think wildly are very smart.

After observing several waves of zombies and now slashing a zombie at close range, it is not difficult to come to this conclusion by comparing their eye colors.

"Okay...... At least when I find my father, I will have enough capital to survive in this last world......" Zhou Hong thought silently.

For his current changes, Zhou Hong is not complacent and arrogant after getting some kind of benefits like before, because in Zhou Hong's heart---------- the price of getting these things is that he has lost his mother forever......

If he could, Zhou Hong would rather not have these magical changes, and would rather the days return to the previous dullness...... I'd rather my mother come back...... Father returned...... It was also at this time that Zhou Hong deeply realized the profound meaning of the phrase "plain is bliss". But it was already too late......

"That's what I'm looking for...... Scold...... Fuck ......" Zhou Hong shook his head with a wry smile.

But now that things have happened, and the irreversible things around us have changed, it doesn't help to think about it anymore. Gather your mood and continue on the road, there is still about half an hour to go.

Thinking that he would soon be able to find his father or get news of his father, Zhou Hong became more urgent, and his pace unconsciously sped up. He didn't know if the outside world was also changing, and now he just wanted to find his only remaining family in this world as soon as possible.

"Soon, the next one is the commercial street, and the Splendid Hotel is in that place!" Under Zhou Hong's urgent hurry, it only took more than 20 minutes to rush to the neighborhood near the Fairview Hotel.

Along the way, I also met two lonely zombies, each time I was easily killed by Zhou Hong, although there was an element of sneak attack in it, but Zhou Hong also became more and more sure of the changes that had occurred in his body, until now, Zhou Hong only had a slight feeling of tiredness in physical strength, which I couldn't imagine that this state would appear on the body of my otaku before.

"Now it's no longer a problem to kill such ordinary zombies one-on-one, both in strength and speed, far surpassing them, as long as you are careful not to make too much noise during the battle to attract corpses...... I just don't know if there is any possibility of fighting with me when I meet the kind of zombie last night......" Thinking of the mutated special zombie last night, Zhou Hong still felt palpitations.

That's not a level of existence at all! Speed that is hard to see with the naked eye! An irresistible force! In retrospect, it was a miracle that I was able to kill it in the end. Only when the values of his body have improved in all aspects can he better understand the horror of the zombie last night, Zhou Hong thinks that his current strength and speed are not up to the level of the zombie!

Standing on the deserted street, surrounded by a mess, a gust of cold wind rolled up some leaves and newspapers, which made it even more depressing. There were still bright red blood stains on the ground and surrounding walls, suggesting that some unlucky escaped ones may have died in the mouths of these zombies not long ago. He looked up at the Splendid Hotel that he was about to arrive, tightened the dagger in his hand, and walked forward.

Splendid Hotel covers an area of more than 1,300 square meters, belongs to the time-honored hotel on this commercial street, it is rumored that it has been built for nearly 300 years, the hotel has undergone several major reforms before and after, the predecessor is not called a hotel, called: "Splendid Restaurant," the origin of its founder can even be traced back to the palace kitchen during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, legends are just legends, anyway, Zhou Hong will not believe it, he always firmly believes that this is just a name made by merchants to attract customers; Besides, a small fifth-tier city has a relationship with Qianlong's court chef? However, the overall architectural style of the hotel has always been blue bricks, white tiles, and wooden door courtyards, which is quite ancient.

When he arrived, looking at the two antique-designed, wooden semi-hollow carved doors of the Splendid Hotel in front of him, which were as clean and bright as ever, and the four pots of fortune kumquat on the left and right in front of the door were still growing luxuriantly, Zhou Hong couldn't help but have some uneasy premonitions in his heart......
