Chapter 11: The Living Dead
PS: Thank you for the reward of "No Dream" children's shoes, thank you! The zombie's reaction was swift, and the moment Eren landed, the remaining five zombies had already pounced, but the special zombie hesitated for a short time, but in the end it couldn't resist the instinct, and suddenly opened its mouth, and it was about to let out a scream.
Allen's heart was anxious, and his feet suddenly exerted force, and his whole body rushed out, and in mid-air, his arms stretched out, and his body turned like a spinning top. The black claw blade became a sharp propeller, and in its pass, it cut the five zombies along the way into pieces.
"Roar!"
In the end, Eren was still a step too late, and the special zombie let out an alarm roar, and then waved his arm and pounced. Alan retracted his claws, snapped the arms of the special zombie, and then a vicious over-the-shoulder fall. The sheer force caused the zombie to stiffen for a short time, and its body slammed into the ground. Alan didn't dare to delay, and rushed to the roof with a special zombie in one hand, and then ran wildly.
Sure enough, as soon as he left, a surging tide of zombies rushed over!
Allen's speed is getting faster and faster, and at the same time, his right hand is constantly clenched into a fist, and he has been maintaining the attack on the special zombies. He didn't dare to push too hard, just ensure that the special zombie was powerless to resist, otherwise before he could devour the virus, the body of the special zombie would be smashed by the fist.
Kicking the window open, Eren threw the special zombie in, and then his infected gaze swept around, and when he finally made sure there was no problem, he dodged in. At the same time, he ripped off a rag from the curtain and stuffed it into the mouth of a special zombie.
Allen's infected eyes quickly scanned the body of the special zombie, and sure enough, it was just as he expected. Unlike normal blood-colored zombies, the red glow emitted by the bodies of special zombies is uneven. Centered on his heart, the red color is emissionaless, and the red at the heart is the most intense, and the farther away from the heart, the dimmer the red becomes. But even the legs farthest from the heart are much more red than normal zombies.
Eren kicked the special zombie who wanted to pounce on him, and then took out the looted dagger from his backpack and pinned the limbs of the special zombie firmly to the ground.
The special zombie was completely unaware of the pain, and still struggled frantically, black blood oozing from the wound. As soon as Eren gritted his teeth, his right hand, wrapped in black lines, stretched out, easily piercing the chest cavity of the special zombie, and then holding its heart.
The black lines pulsed like living creatures, and one by one they pierced into the hearts of the special zombies.
After becoming a zombie, the heart will fail due to the invasion of the virus, and eventually stop beating. All of the zombies' actions are due to a substance secreted by the still-active cerebral cortex, which causes zombies to have a great hunger for flesh and blood, and has become their motivation to devour humans.
However, the heart of the special zombie is very different, and it is still beating slowly, although the frequency of beating is much lower than that of normal people.
The special infection virus is being absorbed and devoured by Allen little by little. And he was also surprised to find that after the virus entered the body and was swallowed, it was transforming into a special energy to transform his body. Although the process of this transformation is extremely slow, after fusing the black virus, Allen's control and cognition of the body have reached an incredible height, so he can keenly perceive the slightest changes.
"Could it be that devouring other special viruses can make me stronger?" Alan couldn't help but think of the four hunters he killed with his own hands when he fled in the jungle, and it was precisely because he absorbed the virus in their bodies that he had such a powerful fighting method as the black claw blade.
Time flies, and with the cleanup of the virus, the appearance of the special zombie has finally changed. The blood-colored membrane that encased the outside of the body began to dry and flatten. The blurred facial features were gradually revealed, and what made Alan excited was that he had indeed made the right bet this time, and Henry's appearance was gradually revealed.
At the same time, the subsidence of the virus caused Henry to fall into a deep coma, and the wound pierced by the dagger began to scab over, and finally when Alan pulled the dagger out, he was surprised to find that the wound was healing itself quickly. Gently tearing off the dry flat flesh film on the outside of Henry's body, revealing Henry's naked/naked body, the viscous liquid covered his body, Alan could only put the other party on the clean bed, and then covered the quilt and waited quietly.
Alan didn't know if Henry would wake up, and even if he did, what was he at the moment?
Mankind? Apparently not, Henry's pale and bloodless skin had kept him farther and farther away from humans, and his heart still did not return to the way it beat like a human, but rather slower and slower, probably only beating once a minute. And gently peeling off Henry's eyelids, you can see that his pupils are still bloody, and you can't see the appearance of the eyes at all.
Pulling over a chair and sitting at the head of the bed, the only thing Alan could do was wait.
The sky darkened again, and the roar of blood zombies could be heard in the streets from time to time, and suddenly, Henry's fingers twitched slightly, and his eyes kept rolling under his eyelids. Alan stood up happily.
Eventually, Henry slowly opened his eyes, and when his gaze finally focused, he found Alan standing at the head of the bed with a happy face.
"You...... Allan? ”
Henry looked at the sturdy Alan in disbelief, is this still the big boy who used to be thin?
"Hell...... Ramon! ”
Henry suddenly remembered the way Raymond had pounced on him, and he sat up sharply, and touched his neck with his right hand, only to find that it was unusually smooth, without the slightest bite mark.
"There's a lot going on!" Alan sat down in his chair, "We've all changed!" ”
Alan smiled helplessly, and told everything that had happened these days, and Henry listened quietly, but the shock on his face could not be concealed.
"So, what exactly are you and I now?" Henry asked with a little excitement, his wife also died at the hands of zombies, and for so many years, the purpose of hunting zombies was not for money, but for the purpose of paying his wife, and the tuition for his only son, who was only sixteen years old, to go to school. But today, he has become a monster, a monster between zombies and humans.
"Perhaps, we should be called the living dead!" Alan said, "Your bodily functions have been completely destroyed, but your body has undergone fundamental changes after being reborn, and I believe that it will not be long before your body will have some abnormal changes." As for whether or not it can still maintain its human form, I don't know. My situation is a little more complicated, and it's called Victor
Fran's man has developed a very powerful virus, you can see it. In addition to me, Raymond has also been infected, and the direction of his infection is malignant, I believe that at this moment, he has begun to gather his subordinates, and those three high-level zombies that have been completely transformed will become a nightmare for all humans. ”
Henry threw himself heavily on the bed, looking up at the ceiling but unable to utter a word.
The two remained silent until it was completely dark.
"Don't tell Jamie!" Henry's voice trembled and even choked a little, "I don't want anyone to know that he, who has the status of a reserve knight, has a monster father. It's going to break him down, too! ”
"Don't worry, Jimmy is still a few months away from graduation, and by then, I'll figure it out." Allen's gaze brightened unusually bright in the night, "I'll reunite you." ”
When the sun rises as usual, Alan finally knows the direction of Henry's mutation.
At this moment, Henry's appearance did not change, but his pale skin became as hard as iron. Even the dagger couldn't cut through his skin. However, if you touch it with your hands, you can still feel the softness of the skin.
"Is this a blessing in disguise?" Henry put on his clothes with self-deprecation, and then threw a punch that cut a hole in the wall.
"At the very least, those blood zombies won't be happy that you've become like this." Alan smiled and began to pack his bags, "Where do we go next, as long as you don't fight, or if your emotions are stable, I can't see the virus in your body." I believe that other ordinary people can't see it. So as long as we control it well, there is no problem in mixing in the crowd. Alan said after retracting his gaze from the infection.
Henry nodded, placing a round-brimmed hunter's hat on his head and pulling out a pair of sunglasses to hide his scarlet eyes.
"It's too risky to go into a big town, so we'd better keep a low profile right now." Henry pondered for a moment and said, "We'll go to the place with the most zombies, and we'll be able to track down the man named Victor. ”
Alan nodded, and after the two discussed it, he put the big backpack on his back. Alan looked out of the broken window: "We should find a car." ”
"My RV is very good, and for safety I have reinforced alloy plates, which can withstand the impact of normal zombies. It can also be used as our home base. Henry suggested.
"That's it, I'll lure these zombies away, you go start the car, and we'll meet at the entrance of the town."
"Be careful?"
"Watch out for these zombies." Alan smiled, jumped down, and deliberately made a loud noise, and for a moment the whole ground almost vibrate, and the zombie tide rushed over.
Henry couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva: "Damn/." If Lao Tzu is still an ordinary person, I have to be scared to death by you today! ”
He cursed, waited for the zombie tide to pass, then jumped down, and then rushed towards the location of the RV!
