Chapter 33: Mutation
In a trance, Lu Li felt that he had come to a black and white world. The black and white colors in front of him are intertwined. One moment black prevails, and the next moment white in turn dispelles black.
"I ...... Where am I? ”
Lu Li's dream-like murmur. He felt a pain in his head, and it hurt so much that it was heartbreaking. He wanted to open his mouth to vent loudly and alleviate the symptoms of his headaches. But he couldn't.
At this time, the zombie group formed a circle, surrounding Lu Li in the middle, forming a circle with a diameter of more than three meters. There was a clear flash of panic in their cloudy eyes, as if they were terrified.
On Lu Li's forehead, a deformed bullet slowly squeezed out of the small hole. A few minutes later, with a snap, the projectile fell into the slightly viscous stained blood, splashing a small blood flower.
At this point, the wound heals rapidly and at a speed visible to the naked eye. The skull healed, followed by countless granulations wriggling, enveloping the entire wound. In less than five minutes, he had an extra circular scar on his forehead. After more than ten seconds, the scar fell off, revealing the white and tender skin underneath.
Lu Li sat up suddenly. As soon as he sat up, the zombies around him took a step back, obviously a little more restless.
"I didn't turn into a zombie?"
Lu Li frowned and raised his hands to check. He was a little confused. Whether before or after being born again, he was able to establish an indisputable fact.
Once bitten by a zombie, there is no cure.
But the facts in front of him completely confused him. Obviously bitten by a zombie, but didn't become a zombie?
At this moment, his body suddenly became hot. His whole body froze for a moment, and he collapsed in the blood. He couldn't be surprised. At this moment, he felt as if a fire had ignited in his body, and it was as if he was being roasted on a blazing fire. Bursts of pain welled up in his heart, and he was in pain.
He opened his mouth wide to get some fresh air to relieve the burning heat in his body. But he couldn't. He has lost control of his body. He lay in the blood, his skin turning red from shallow to dark, like a boiled prawn.
Just as he was in pain, there was more agitation among the surrounding zombies. They let out a hoarse roar in fidgety. Both hands are constantly scratching their heads, necks, and even their whole body. It's as if the person with a dense phobia is stimulated.
"Ahh
Lu Li finally couldn't bear the severe pain and let out a terrible scream. Those zombies suddenly seemed to have seen ghosts, and they turned around and left in a panic. All of a sudden, the zombie horde became chaotic. Countless zombies were pushed down by other zombies, and then trampled by countless pairs of feet.
Lu Li didn't know about this.
All he knew was that he was going to die. The field of vision is blood-red, and it is impossible to see. The heat in the body burns every inch of muscle, every inch of tendon. A flood of intense pain swept over his consciousness.
Suddenly, he opened his bloodshot eyes and tore his T-shirt like crazy. The bottom was already covered with black veins like spider's webs. The black veins were like living creatures, gradually spreading upwards. Neck, head...... In just a few minutes, his whole body was already covered with faintly swollen black blood vessels, which did not resemble a human form at all.
He struggled in agony, large expanses of black blood splattered. But the more he struggled, the faster the black veins swelled. Soon, there was barely a single piece of skin on his body.
Thick black veins wriggled like living creatures. makes Lu Li's whole person look like a monster that is evolving. Gradually, Lu Li's body began to expand, muscles stood out, and in just a few breaths, his whole body had become thick more than one circle.
Suddenly, he jumped out of the blood. He slammed into the roller shutter of the nearby shop in a frenzied manner. With a screeching sound, he slammed a hole in the shutter and rushed in.
This is a small ethnic handicraft shop. The various ethnic crafts inside are in good condition on the counter and hung on the shelves, which looks so exquisite.
But Lu Li's intrusion directly destroyed the entire shop. Large and small ethnic handicrafts were torn off by him and thrown around. After some tossing, he seemed to have exhausted his body, and suddenly he stagnated and collapsed. At this time, the small shop seemed to have encountered a 12-magnitude typhoon, and it was completely destroyed.
He lay on the ground, his chest rising and falling rapidly, as if he had exhausted his strength. The thick black veins on his body faded at a rate visible to the naked eye. It didn't take long for it to disappear without a trace, as if it had never happened.
About an hour later, he was lying on the ground topless, covered in blood. The breathing gradually became smoother, and the expression on his face relaxed, and it no longer seemed so painful.
It was getting dark. Suddenly, a series of explosions sounded in the distance, followed by a rumbling sound that woke him up.
He jerked over and sat up, looking around in a daze. By the light coming in from outside, he looked at the mess and frowned in thought.
At this moment, another series of explosions faintly came from a distance. The rumble reached his ears, causing his brow to furrow. After a while, he rubbed his temples and said to himself hesitantly.
"What just happened?"
He listened to the sparse sound of explosions in the distance, his eyes full of confusion. After a while, his eyes widened, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "They succeeded." ”
His mood suddenly improved. He had already remembered the plan he had discussed with Zhang Yunhu yesterday. Zhang Yunhu and the others have successfully completed the task of blowing up the department store and other buildings that may be hiding zombies.
As soon as his spirit relaxed, he couldn't hold on. A deep sense of exhaustion came over me like a tidal wave. With a reassuring smile, he collapsed with a bang. After a while, the sound of slight snoring echoed in the small shop.
……
"I ...... Where am I? ”
Lu Yu woke up and turned around, looking around blankly. By this time night had fallen. The dim starlight shone through the ruined shutter into the shop, dispelling the darkness.
Suddenly, he sat up suddenly, frowned and muttered, "Why am I here?" ”
The faint sound of explosions echoed in his ears, and he vaguely remembered his original purpose. It was a scene where Zhang Yunhu tearfully shot himself in the forehead. He subconsciously raised his hand and touched his forehead. What surprised him was that his forehead was smooth and smooth, not to mention bullet holes, not even scars. He was shocked.
"How many days have I been asleep?"
He quickly got up from the ground and searched around the shop by starlight. After a while, he found a small alarm clock with a calendar. When he saw it, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"It's only six hours?"
He was surprised. This isn't the first time he's been shot in the head. But according to Chrissy's description afterwards, it should take a few days for her to heal herself.
"Self-healing power improvement?"
Lu Li raised his hands and looked at it, slightly stunned. After a while, he lowered his hands and looked up at the big hole in the roller shutter. He stared at the big hole in distraction, and his mind was a mess. Countless questions scrambled to flash.
Human body enhancers can greatly enhance the indicators of human beings, and it is true. But it is by no means able to tear the roller shutter with bare hands.
"I have to go back to her and discuss."
Lu Li muttered to himself, and raised his legs to get out of this small shop. As soon as he went outside, the cool night breeze blew, and his upper body was slightly cold. He looked down, shook his head self-deprecatingly, and walked barefoot on the ground with dried blood, and headed home.
Along the way, he felt more and more eccentric. The silence of the streets, in a kind of chengdù, strengthened his hearing. He vaguely heard the zombies in the nearby buildings within a few tens of meters looking a little flustered.
After walking a few hundred meters, he returned to the main road. At this time, he could no longer hear the movement of the zombies in the surrounding buildings, and there was a dead silence around him.
Aware of this strange situation, he hurried home to consult Chrissy with all the more eagerness. He had too many questions for Chrissy to solve.
At this time, he didn't care if he would alarm the zombies hiding in the building. He walked over to a motorcycle that had fallen to the ground on the side of the road. Just as he was about to pick up the motorcycle to check if it could still be driven, he suddenly looked solemn and raised his eyes to a building three hundred meters away.
He had an extremely strong sense of crisis in his heart.
The evolved zombie was hiding in that building at this moment. And at this time, he was standing at the window of a certain floor staring at himself.
He didn't know why he was so sure. City A has lost power due to the outbreak of the virus, and zombies are rampant. Without the street lights, even if his eyesight was greatly enhanced by the human body enhancer, it was difficult to see the scene from 300 meters away in the dim environment.
However, he believed in his hunch at this moment.
He immediately picked up the motorcycle, stepped on it and twisted the key. The piercing roar echoed in the silent night, and after a while, he slammed the accelerator, and the motorcycle suddenly let out a piercing grinding sound and sped along the avenue.
The motorcycle is fast, dexterous and fast around the vehicles in the middle of the road. Fortunately, this avenue was the one where the group opened the road with a bus and rammed into a passage. He didn't let go of the throttle and went back the way he came, at 80 mph.
Ten minutes later, he had already driven back to the city. At this time, the smell of gunpowder was still floating in the sky. The buildings that were originally lined up are noticeably much thinner. By the moonlight, he saw many zombies whose upper bodies were constantly struggling to crawl out of the rubble.
Although he learned that Zhang Yunhu and others had perfectly implemented the plan, the sense of crisis in his heart still did not fade, on the contrary, the sense of crisis became stronger and stronger.
Lu Li increased the throttle and increased the speed of the motorcycle to 100 again. The motorcycle, with the sound of whirring wind, sped all the way. After walking less than two miles, his pupils suddenly shrank.
A large figure loomed ahead.
"Zombies."
Lu Li's brows were furrowed, and his expression was very solemn. He quickly glanced left and right, then slammed the accelerator and drove the motorcycle into a small road. Entering the dimly lit path, he increased his speed to one hundred and two again.
Motorcycle winds generally sweep across the road. Not long after passing by, a group of zombies had already appeared behind him. His heart sank, and the sense of crisis in his heart increased again.
The speed of the zombies has become faster again.
The zombies evolved faster than he expected. His face sank like water, and his body was pressed against the body of the motorcycle to reduce air resistance. After galloping all the way, about ten minutes later, he saw a light appear in the distance.
Lu Li's eyes lit up, and he slammed the throttle to the bottom. A short time later, he drove into the light.
At this time, there was a bang, and a puff of smoke and dust rose less than a meter in front of the motorcycle.
