Chapter 8 Native Species
This operation was not as simple as cleaning up the building, Duan Fei had to walk sixteen kilometers alone, get the source seed, and then come back.
An hour away, although the walking corpses on the street have basically dissipated during the day, there are still some lonely zombies wandering.
For these scattered walking corpses, you can avoid Duan Fei and try to avoid them. If not, with Duan Fei's evolved body, it would not be a problem to deal with a few. However, the walking corpse is secondary, and there is one more dangerous than the walking corpse, that is, the "alien beast".
When the apocalypse strikes, not only humans, but also all kinds of animals will be infected by the virus and become alien beasts.
No matter how docile the original animal is, as long as it is infected by the virus and becomes a foreign beast, it will become extremely bloodthirsty and violent, they eat people and walking corpses, and their strength is more than twice as powerful as these low-level walking corpses.
Just imagine how lethal a dog will be if its sense of smell is about 40 times that of an ordinary human, once it becomes a foreign beast and its sense of smell is strengthened again.
Or a cat with a particularly strong bouncing power and speed, after becoming a strange beast and evolving again, there are still some walls and obstacles that can stop it.
These animals are extremely common pets in some cities. When they turn into alien beasts, they can become absolutely deadly monsters. And the most terrifying of them all is not the others, but the kind of social creatures.
For example, rats, such as ants.
When they come out to forage in groups, nothing can stop them, and almost everything that moves, let alone humans, becomes their food.
Of course, Duan Fei's luck was impossible to meet the beast tide when he went out for the first time. However, encountering any strange beast, even a kitten or a puppy, would cause him a lot of trouble, which was the last thing Duan Fei wanted to see.
Walking quickly on the street, although the sun is shining now, Duan Fei can still encounter some walking corpses along the way. However, with Duan Fei's careful dodge, it was easy to get around them.
The eyesight of low-level walking corpses can only see things within two meters clearly, and as long as Duan Fei hides in a hidden place, they will basically not notice their existence with their eyesight. However, compared to visuality, low-level walking corpses only need to find enemies by sound and taste.
Knowing the weaknesses of low-level zombies, Duan Fei had prepared early, so he didn't have to worry about these zombies discovering themselves at all.
Time passed slowly, and Duan Fei was getting closer and closer to the sinkhole.
As the distance approached, Duan Fei gradually noticed that the number of wandering walking corpses began to slowly increase. At first, it was just a single walking corpse, but now, some small groups of walking corpses have begun to appear.
To deal with these dense walking corpses, Duan Fei would use some things such as stones and cans to make noise in the distance, so that he could attract them to them.
Against these low-level walking corpses with an IQ of 0, this simple method can go a long way.
Bypassing the walking corpses, Duan Fei finally came to the front of the sinkhole.
He ducked between two large cement-like creeps and looked ahead. In his field of vision, the familiar "Huijia Supermarket" was gone, replaced by a huge circular pit with a diameter of about twenty meters.
Around the sinkhole, countless black carbon-like objects were scattered, and bursts of black-gray smoke emerged from above, and then condensed into a stream, pouring straight into the sky.
Seeing this scene, Duan Fei couldn't help but think of the scene of this meteorite falling in his mind.
The reddish meteorite fell from the sky with an incomparably strong flame and impact, smashing directly from the top of the supermarket to the ground. The huge impact caused the entire supermarket building to collapse completely in an instant. The extremely high temperature of the meteorite itself quickly ignited all the surrounding goods, and finally turned into a raging fire.
The fire burned all night, burning everything in it to ashes. In the end, it became the appearance of this ruin in front of you.
After carefully observing the sinkhole in front of him, Duan Fei saw that in the center of the sinkhole, there was an irregularly shaped crystalline object emitting a faint glow in the sunlight.
His eyes froze, and a fiery color suddenly surged in his heart.
Presumably that is the source species, the source of biological evolution.
The moment he saw the source seed, Duan Fei almost couldn't help but rush up and grab it, but reason still prevented him from doing so.
The source species is fundamental to the evolution of the Walking Dead, and its importance to them is hardly to be said. Snatching the source seed is not so simple, and there must be extremely high danger hidden in the swarthy pit.
Sure enough, from the sinkhole, a low roar continued to reach Duan Fei's ears. In his field of vision, a walking corpse slowly appeared.
Previously, Duan Fei's attention was all focused on the source species, and he didn't notice the walking corpses surrounding the source species at all.
At this time, Duan Fei looked at it carefully and observed it. As time passed, he found that this walking corpse was no different from an ordinary low-level walking corpse in terms of size, appearance, and pace.
However, since it had its back to him and had not turned around the whole time, Duan Fei couldn't see its face clearly. It is also for this reason that he hides in the shadows and has never dared to act rashly.
Time passed slowly, and the doubts in Duan Fei's heart became heavier and heavier.
In any way, this is just an extremely ordinary walking corpse, and it can't be a mutated walking corpse at all. And today is only the second day of the apocalypse, how can there be a mutated walking corpse.
However, from just now to now, this walking corpse has been wandering aimlessly, but it has never shown its front, which makes Duan Fei have to be suspicious.
Is it unintentional? Or is it intentional? Or is it just my own suspicion?
Just when Duan Fei was undecided, he suddenly found that this walking corpse had reached the edge of the sinkhole at some point. It raised its hands high and raised its head above the sinkhole, letting out a low roar.
When he saw this picture, Duan Fei's eyes lit up, and the doubts in his heart instantly dissipated and emptied.
It's definitely just an ordinary low-level walking corpse, and the reason why it appears here must be that it accidentally fell into the sinkhole.
Humans are social creatures, and although they have become walking corpses, some of the basic characteristics of being human beings will not change.
Although these low-level walking corpses have no intelligence, they are creatures that only know how to eat. However, they also rarely have the nature of a gathering place.
A large herd of walking corpses gathers together to hunt and then has their own territory and habitat. This has nothing to do with IQ, it's a biological instinct.
And the walking corpse in front of it fell into the sinkhole, and if it wanted to find its corpse and return to the gathering place, it had to climb up from the sinkhole, so it made such an action.
After knowing this, Duan Fei held the spear tightly in his hand and slowly condensed the strength of his body to the peak.
Relying on his level 3 agility, it takes about 2 seconds to rush from here to the sinkhole. A blow that condenses the strength of the whole body should be enough to kill this walking corpse in an instant.
Ending the battle in the shortest possible time would avoid a lot of noise, or else it would attract other walking corpses, which he didn't want to see.
The attack was only for a moment, and when Duan Fei's entire spiritual qi was completely condensed to an extreme, he held the spear tightly, and his body rushed towards the walking corpse in the sinkhole like lightning.
The whistling wind swept through Duan Fei's ears, and at this moment, all he saw in his eyes was its head.
This blow will be fatal.
The alloy spear pierced the air and slammed down with a thunderous force. At this moment, Duan Fei seemed to have seen its head shattered and splashed everywhere.
However, the next moment, when his spear really attacked this zombie, Duan Fei's face changed instantly.
"Zheng!"
There was a violent explosion, not the dull sound of flesh shattering, but the shattering sound of metal trembling at great speed.
In Duan Fei's sight, the moment the spear smashed into it, the expected picture did not appear, but the entire body of the spear began to shake at a distance, as if it had hit something extremely hard, and the sharp knife fixed in the front of the iron rod broke instantly.
"Not good!"
Duan Fei immediately realized the danger, the walking corpse in front of him was not those low-level walking corpses at all, but the most dangerous beast.
Seeing the lightning and flint, Duan Fei's whole person quickly retreated backwards, and at the same time withdrew the iron rod that had lost its sharp knife from its body. However, at this moment, a huge force suddenly came along the body of the rod, and he looked up, and at some point, a pair of slightly rotten hands had tightly grasped the other end of the iron rod.
At this point, the walking corpse finally turned around. What caught my eye was a white female face. Unlike other walking corpses, it doesn't have any decomposing images on its face, and if nothing else, it's an ordinary woman.
However, when Duan Fei noticed its eyes, a wordless fear suddenly surged in his heart.
Ordinary walking corpses, their eyeballs are dull and cloudy yellow. But it is different, its eyes are pitch black, like a bottomless abyss, and it cannot see any other color except black.
Native species.
Duan Fei suddenly remembered a distant and terrifying name.
