Su Hao took his gaze away from the broken foot, raised his head, and his gaze extended.

I saw black blood stains that dragged dozens of meters away.

Among them, there are countless overlapping footprints.

Under a traffic sign with a red cross on a blue background prohibiting parking, blood stains were completely surrounded by footprints.

On the ground was the remains of a human body that had been gnawed to bones, surrounded by bits and pieces of internal organs, flesh and blood, and yellow feces that had been squeezed out of the bowels. Most of it has hardened, condensed on the asphalt, and has been blackened and browned by the blazing sun.

Suddenly, a faint oblique figure appeared at the corner of the street, constantly moving forward. In this dead silence that almost drives people crazy, it may be the only living thing.

It was a middle-aged man who had been infected by the virus and had already turned into a zombie.

He was wearing a red sweat coat, and his bare arms, chest and shoulders were exposed, and his skin had begun to atrophy. The orbits are turned outward, and there are large dark bruises on both sides of the cheeks. Two rows of teeth protruding from the center of the cracked lips, yellow and black, with blood and flesh in the gaps, looked like rotten corn that had been bitten indiscriminately and thrown into a cesspool to soak for a long time.

His cloth shoes were stained with mud, and his blue cloth pants were covered with thick dirt. The cheap clothes, along with the orange hard hat worn crookedly on top of his head, suggest that he was supposed to be a construction worker before he was infected.

He...... No, it should be.

The whole body is dark red, and the muscles and skin are very tightly bonded. Without the slightest fat. The skin is thin, highlighting the fine muscle textures. If there is not too much dirt and garbage sticking to the surface of the body, it will look like a honey char siu that has been smeared with a lot of sugar water and sauce and just taken out of the oven

It is a bloody corpse.

It is a true "L" class mutant creature.

Both agility, speed, and strength are far beyond ordinary zombies, with the same vision as normal people, and the sense of smell is slightly degraded, but the sense of hearing has increased by about thirty percent.

The cells in their bodies, which had been dormant for nearly a year, began to rejuvenate. Nerves that radiate from the brain can be found in every corner of the body. This weird way of growing is entirely based on the rotting bodies of zombies.

It's like a plant root system, which draws nutrients from sticky and smelly carrion, and reshapes new flesh, new bones, and new physiological and humoral circulatory systems.

Viruses are still evolving———— they begin to multiply by parasitic human bodies, which in turn take over human brains and turn them into zombies. These parasites, invisible to the naked eye, lay dormant in the corpses for a whole winter. They accumulate energy and adapt to the environment in the shortest possible time. Just as a pine caterpillar must pupate into a cocoon to transform into a beautiful butterfly, viruses also need time and nutrients to evolve.

Exactly like what the top-secret scientific archives of the Future World have recorded, the virus succeeded———— they controlled the zombies to mutate a second time. Evolution is divided into two pathways: zombies that are affected by foreign genes and lose part of their brain control function become humanoids. And the other is the fully strengthened blood corpse in front of Su Hao's eyes.

Unlike the one Dong Guoping had captured before, this bloody corpse had very long teeth.

The canine teeth, in particular, are already more than three centimeters long. Very pointed, unusually sharp. The lips cannot be enclosed at all, and the tip of the upper canine can only protrude from the outer edge of the mouth. Looks like the vampire of the dark legends of Europe.

Sharp triangular claws appear on the tips of its ten fingers. This hardened connective tissue is the equivalent of a weapon. Although not as hard as metal, it is capable of piercing through fragile human skin and cutting muscles.

Su Hao quickened his pace, and the hunting knife in his hand was also held tighter. The footsteps were light, but they were good enough to be detected by the bloody corpses with keen hearing.

"He" began to look in this direction, and when he turned around, his eyes, which had formed vertical pupils, suddenly widened, and his hands were stretched forward, rushing towards the prey that had just appeared.

"Whoosh————"

The moment it passed, the blade of the hunting knife swept over the bridge of the bloody corpse's nose, slicing the rotting ugly head in half. The infected, who had no self-conscious control, instantly lost their center of gravity, waved their hands in the air, struggled to continue taking a few steps forward, and fell with a bang.

The skull is the hardest part of the human body.

Under normal circumstances, the blade is difficult to split. However, the virus changes everything in the body of an infected person.

According to the analysis of biologists in Su Hao's era———— zombies infected by the virus, within seven to fifty days after mutation, their bones are actually very soft, and the hardness is only about one-third of that of normal people.

This will gradually improve with longer survival. After sixty days, the zombies begin to enter the second stage of growth, and they will produce a certain amount of metal elements in their bodies, which will replace calcium as a supplement for loose bones.

In other words, the longer the zombie grows, the stronger and more difficult it is to kill.

Of course, the mutated creatures at that time could no longer be pronounnized by the word "zombie".

The severed head drew a dark red line of blood in the air.

Su Hao's gaze kept following the scattered flesh and blood.

He keenly caught a clump of hard stuff wrapped in foul-smelling putrefaction. Before he could land completely, Su Hao had already flown and flashed, accurately grasping the target he had been looking for for a long time.

It was a granular crystal, the size of a mung bean, cloudy in color like watery milk, with slightly convex corners on the edges. It's hard, and the fingers are pinched hard, and there is a clear prickly sensation.

Looking at this inconspicuous little thing in his palm, Su Hao's calm eyes shook slightly with excitement.

This is the hedrons.

Su Hao had not participated in the meeting in the Beijing No. 1 base, so it was naturally impossible to know what the generals of Lu Dao had to say about himself and the spar.

However, in this worldly realm, in this time and space, no one knows more about the secrets contained in this crystalline body than he does.

Only mutated creatures that have evolved into an "L" rank will produce hedrons in their brains.

The modification of parasites by viruses is purely out of survival instinct.

Blood corpses and humanoids have brains, cerebellum, and brains just like humans.

However, their brains are only two-thirds the size of an adult, or even smaller.

The remaining space inside the skull is occupied by the expanding pineal gland. This mysterious organ secretes more than twice as many hormones as humans. Promote the complete improvement of the nervous and physiological systems of the bloody corpse in a short period of time. As the evolution of blood carcasses gradually stabilizes, the hormones secreted by the pineal gland also decrease. However, there is always a part of the cavity between the brain and the cerebellum. Over time, the residual hormones are mixed with body fluids, wrapped in layers, precipitated, and become viscous and heavy. Under the strong pressure inside the cranial cavity, a substance similar to human stones is eventually formed.

There is no definitive evidence as to who first discovered the spars.

Unlike the Silver Bone, which grows on the tail vertebrae of zombies, hedrons only appear in the skulls of "L" class mutated creatures. After experiencing the chaos of the virus outbreak, the people who survived know very well that the head is the weakness of zombies. Therefore, for blood corpses and humanoids, they also follow the habitual thinking, focusing on the head as the target. Therefore, many people have the opportunity to find spars.

During the same period in the future epoch, almost all countries and regions reported the discovery of spars.

Tens of thousands of such documents have piled up in the United Nations Agency for Biological Research. Maybe it was Luther. Spurred on by Kavez's title as "Discoverer of Silver Bone", many people are desperately trying to become a similar figure in the discovery of the hedrons. This disorderly quarrel lasted for nearly two years, but no side produced convincing evidence, and all countries were chattering about similar honors.

When Su Hao left the future world, Japan, France, and Australia were still arguing over this issue. All three countries believe that their citizens deserve this honor. But to the outside world, chaotic battles are nothing more than a boring and useless joke.

Xinyan stood at the corner of the street dozens of meters away.

She wielded an 8mm assault rifle and searched her surroundings vigilantly.

The transformation effect of black particles on Xinyan is becoming more and more obvious———— curvy and exaggerated body, delicate face, exuding an irresistible temptation all the time.

For the "L" class mutant creatures, the "Type 95" rifle is obviously weak. However, as long as it hits the vital point, even a needle is enough to kill.

Su Hao walked up to Xinyan and handed over the white spar in his hand.

"What is this?"

Xinyan took the spar, looked at the sunlight carefully, and asked curiously, "Diamond?" ”

It is the nature of almost all women to like shiny things. They instinctively associate all such substances with "value".

"Crystal"

Su Hao seriously corrected Xinyan's mistakes.

He turned around, stared at the lifeless city in the distance, and said in a calm tone: "After I go back, send a report to Lao Song, Cao Rui, and Du Tianhao." Let them collect as many hedrons and silver bones as they can. In addition, it is open to other survivor groups inside and outside the city. Food, Medicine, Arms and Ammunition...... Whatever the other person needs can be satisfied. All we need is silver bones and hedrons, and the more the better————"

It's raining.

For a whole month, it was a constant rainy day.

The gray sky has never been clear. Dense dark clouds seemed to have swept the sun to another universe. Apart from the heavy haze, there is no excess color in sight.

Luo Jingpeng squatted on the ground, looking at the zombies that were trampled under his feet, and a very strange light was released in his eyes.

It was cut off both hands and lower body, with only the part above the chest.

But it's still alive. Desperately open his mouth, making a hollow and meaningless "ho-ho" sound.

That's not a cry for help, it's not a plea for mercy. It's the thirst for food, the yearning and longing for fresh muscle fibers.

It rained heavily, and Luo Jingpeng was completely soaked. A trickle of rain flowed down the forehead, slid into the neck, rolled down the chest, and spread unscrupulously on all parts of the body.

Heaven and earth were hazy. The overall color is gray and dark, and the deep reinforced concrete building towers like a mountain. The sound of wind or rain in his ears completely separated him from the entire world.

Luo Jingpeng held a knife in his hand.

He slowly teased the zombie's mouth with the sharp tip of his knife.

This kind of boring game gradually made him interested.

It feels like being in a zoo, forking fruit with a stick and feeding a bear. The ferocious beast was obviously hungry and wanted to swallow it with the tourists, but was blocked by the cage, and could only open its mouth wide and howl wildly in the most terrifying posture.

"What do you want to eat?"

Luo Jingpeng looked at the zombie who couldn't speak, and suddenly laughed "hey, hey, hey".

He grabbed a few broken bricks from the side and fixed the incapacitated zombie on its back to the ground. Then he spat at the zombie's mouth with a mouthful of thick phlegm.

The phlegm fell into the zombie's mouth accurately, and the mutant creature had no idea what the viscous mass of the Tunnel meant.

It subconsciously chewed, felt that it had no taste, and continued to open its teeth and grin at Luo Jingpeng.

This game is boring and perverted, but Luo Jingpeng has a lot of fun.

He felt as if he had gone back to his childhood, watching the ants move under the trees, watching the little creatures with the incomparably powerful group eat maggots and flies. Then quickly transport the prey away, leaving nothing behind.

Luo Jingpeng took out a few sun-dried corn kernels from his pocket, and slowly shook them into the zombie's mouth.

The corn kernels were not chewed and fell directly into the zombie's esophagus. With plenty of water and nutrients, corn should sprout and grow taller quickly.

Of course, this may just be an unrealistic fantasy. But Luo Jingpeng doesn't think so.

He felt that he had to try everything to know the result.

Turn around and walk straight towards the building in the distance. There was a splash and mud underfoot.

In the entire world, he is the only one left.

When Luo Jingpeng walked into the room, Cao Rui was sitting on the chair in reverse, hugging the back of the chair like a little girl, looking at the hazy rain curtain outside the window in a daze.

She wears a very thin black lace pajamas. The material is smooth and almost transparent. The neckline is opened very low, slightly above the chest, and tied casually with two strings. You don't need any special angle to see the plump and snow-white skin inside.

The thick chair back blocks the breasts and private parts. The pink back muscles covered with black lace make people have infinite reverie. This erotic outfit was originally designed to attract men.

Nudity, on the contrary, is not as good as looming to arouse a man's desire.

Like all the "worker bees" that have received Su Hao's blood, the black particles also have a transforming effect on Cao Rui.

She was amazed at the changes in her body———— not only in appearance, but also in the organs and muscle fibers in her body. Cao Rui felt that her lung capacity was gradually increasing, and she couldn't feel any exercise at all during the morning jog of the same distance. Not even fatigue. This indicates that the transport of oxygen by the cells has increased. They will be converted into forces that make themselves stronger and stronger.

Su Hao's attitude towards prisoners of war was quite tolerant. He believes that he can change the minds of these people and get the other person's approval.

According to the order, Cao Rui did not kill Luo Jingpeng.

He was just in captivity.

No one in the team will feed for nothing. Even prisoners had to work to get food and water every day.

Luo Jingpeng is a first-order enhancer. The superiority in strength and physique made him laborer much more than the other captives.

One day, Cao Rui put two gold badges with the logo of the "Sheng Fei" group in front of him.

Of course, Luo Jingpeng knew that they belonged to the Lin family brothers.

He was not angry. Instead, he exhaled a long breath.

Luo Jingpeng knew that Lin Feihu was using himself.

…… Many years ago, when he returned the wallet to the owner, Luo Jingpeng felt that he was just doing his duty. He was very surprised to be favored by Lin Feihu because of this, and he also fantasized that he could have a better development space in the future. The old man sent himself to school, went abroad for further study, and was trained as a senior executive of the company. Luo Jingpeng was infinitely grateful and wanted to be loyal to the Lin family forever.

However, half a year before the outbreak of the virus, Lin Feihu recalled Luo Jingpeng to the company and sent him to a special training camp.

Luo Jingpeng still remembers the telegram at that time———— which only asked him to go back, but did not mention the rest of the things.

Luo Jingpeng also has his own relatives. Thanks to the secret deal between Lin Feihu and the government, Luo Jingpeng also did a blood test for his relatives. His father, mother, and sister are all "A" constitutions that will not be infected by the virus.

At first, Luo Jingpeng, like everyone else, thought that the virus outbreak was an unforeseen natural disaster like an earthquake or tsunami.

However, everything he saw and heard in the training camp made him gradually understand that many people had known that there was such a day in the road.

Lin Feihu is one of them.

He never told himself, nor did he ask himself to bring his family with him in the telegram.

That's right, Lin Feihu is very good to Luo Jingpeng, even no less than his own son. But there is no real blood relationship between the two after all. At best, only a more special subordinate.

At that moment, the word "loyalty" in Luo Jingpeng's mind collapsed instantly.

He followed Lin Zhou to Kunming, and a series of events after that, all of which were the most important duties.

Luo Jingpeng wanted to use actual actions to tell the Lin family that he was repaying the debt he owed to Lin Feihu for many years. And a large part of it has long been offset by the telegram that only uses and benefits.

Since even Lin Yu is dead, he doesn't owe anything anymore, and he doesn't have to do anything.

After living in Cao Rui's team as a prisoner for several months, Luo Jingpeng began to gradually adapt to the new environment.

He was very envious of Su Hao and Cao Rui, and envied all the members of the team———— they took care of each other, were friendly to each other, and the conflicts were limited to different understandings of things.

Luo Jingpeng's attitude was also recognized by Cao Rui and other team members———— he was no longer a captive prisoner, but a peripheral member of the team. Of course, out of vigilance, there are always a few particularly strong people around Luo Jingpeng who are always around.

Time can change perceptions and attitudes, and can run in all contradictions.

Luo Jingpeng likes Cao Rui very much. The feeling this woman gave him was simply amazing. Otherwise, the first time I saw her, I would have completely lost my vigilance, and my eyes would only follow the figure.

Men love beautiful women. This is not surprising.
