Chapter 2: The First Battle of the Merchant and the Zombie
The first rays of the morning sun shone on the merchant's face, and the itchy feeling made him gradually wake up from his sleep.
"It's another good day, good weather for sleeping." With that, the merchant slammed himself on the bed again and continued to sleep with his head covered.
Unfortunately, some people didn't want to let him continue to enjoy the morning in peace.
"Bump...... Bumper ...... The ...... of a very irregular sound came from outside the door of the entrance, and it was more appropriate to knock on the door than to knock on it.
"Who is it?! So rude?! The merchant complained.
Having said that, with a hint of curiosity, the merchant still made him struggle to get up, and with sleepy eyes and a hazy state, he came to the entrance in loose shorts.
The delicate hand grasped the iron doorknob, and with a "click", the iron door opened.
But the next scene that caught his eyes dispelled the sleepiness he felt when he woke up in the morning.
Before opening the door, the merchant even looked at the visitors outside through the cat's eye, and after seeing the familiar school uniform, the merchant opened the door without thinking too much.
'How long has this guy not brushed his teeth!' This was the only thought in the mind of the merchant who had not yet reacted to what was happening.
The slightly fishy smell and slightly decaying skin were obviously zombies that had not been transformed by light, but the merchant had no time to think about these issues carefully.
The sudden change made his whole brain already chaotic.
Before that, it was completely unimaginable that it could become a reality in front of his eyes, so that the ordinary person who has always lived in a peaceful daily life did not know what to do, and he could not even make a judgment on how to look at the situation in front of him.
However, not everyone was as confused as him, at least the 'girl' in front of him did not hesitate to make a move.
The girl who suddenly arrived unconsciously opened her mouth wide, stretched out her somewhat broken hands, and pushed the merchant down the corridor of the entrance.
"Poof!"
The force caused by the impact of his back on the floor caused the merchant to feel an unbearable pain.
At the same time, it was this sharp pain that made the merchant who was still in a hazy state wake up, at least he can judge the situation in front of him now.
'Zombies! Looking at the girl in front of her who was in tatters, and even a few maggots had begun to crawl out of her body, she made a judgment in an instant.
This strange creature that often appears in various science fiction novels is definitely not unfamiliar to businessmen.
It can be said that in the past life, all people knew something about this creature, especially teenagers.
And the middle-looking girl in front of her was obviously infected and became a zombie after being bitten by a zombie, and the wounds on her body were obviously the bite marks of human teeth.
Even if you have lost your mind, even your soul has been lost.
But the huge regrets left behind in her life, as well as the desire that can definitely be called obsession, made her find the merchant teacher as soon as possible even after her death.
Although the development of things is a little too shocking, the merchant will naturally not sit idly by, after all, no one will give up their only one life when there is still a glimmer of life.
"Bang!"
In the face of the menacing female zombies, whether it is the instinct of a creature or the nostalgia for the world unique to human beings, his arms, which seem to have no strength or even do heavy work, firmly hold the hands of the zombies who want to grab him.
The power that erupted in the crisis surprised him, and he was just trying to delay the zombie attack just now, but he didn't expect to block the attack at once.
"Defense alone is not enough!" The merchant knew that the futile defense was only delaying death, and he had no intention of getting a bento here and leaving the field.
Without even thinking about it, as if instinctively, he picked up a thick-soled leather shoe from the entrance floor and slammed it on the zombie's head, causing the zombie to fall to the side in an instant with an unexpected blow.
At the same time, the merchant took the opportunity to get up, opened the repair box with a skill that surprised him, took out a wrench from it, and then slammed the zombie's jaw from the diagonal side from the bottom up with a smooth half-turn.
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, the zombie flew out directly backwards.
Such a good opportunity was naturally not allowed to be missed, and he followed in great strides, and then slammed the wrench to thrill the zombie's head.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Swing the wrench again and again without stopping!
It wasn't until the zombie stopped the reflexive convulsions, and the originally good-looking face was smashed so that it was impossible to see the original face, and the merchant stopped moving.
And almost at the moment when the zombie stopped the conditioned reflex, the merchant saw the diary on the table and instantly jumped secretly.
Then, under his strange gaze, he flipped to the column that recorded the rating of the degree of genetic awakening, and a parenthesis suddenly appeared in the originally blank column, and one of the +10 data flashed and disappeared.
'I'm rubbing! Could this be the legendary live-action version of the monster fighting upgrade?! The merchant thought subconsciously.
However, just as he wanted to get closer to study the new change, another zombie swooped in from outside the door.
The unprepared merchant was thrown to the ground again!
"Dangchang!" With a bang, the weapon in his hand also fell into the distance.
This time, the zombie was obviously smarter than its peers just now, and it seemed that its higher intelligence than its companion had made it learn something new from the death of its companion just now.
Instead of resting aimlessly on the floor as they had just done, their rotten hands grabbed the merchant's wrists, making it impossible for him to fight back as he had just done.
More powerful power, as well as a more reasonable way of using power, made the merchant seem completely helpless at this time.
"I don't want to die...... the merchant shouted in a low voice with some trembling. The constricted pupils and the cold sweat on his head made him look a little cowardly.
But that's not wrong, anyone will behave more or less when faced with monsters that they can't fight.
But the zombie whose whole body was pressed against him obviously didn't have any idea of getting up.
For it, realizing the only remaining obsession in the depths of one's heart through instinct is the only meaningful thing.
The delicate hands, which were pale and even missing a few pieces of flesh, seemed to contain infinite power, trying to completely subdue the prey that was trying to resist under them.
The foul-smelling mouth is like an entrance to hell, beckoning the living to enter.
"You won't be able to get away with it! You monster! The merchant shouted firmly.
The merchant scrambled to block the foul-smelling mouth that kept reaching out to him, while trying to break free of his emaciated body from the zombie's grasp.
No matter how strong the desire in front of you is, it will only reflect the most primitive appetite in the end.
In the eyes of the current zombie, the merchant is just a body with the most tempting fragrance in his eyes.
'I want to eat him!' Maybe it's the only thing it thinks at this point......
