Chapter 38: Horror Venom
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the water droplets flowed down the hair and stuck to the eyes, astringent, dry, and because of the presence of toxins, Gu Zheng's vision had become a green world. As the toxins mounted, a pungent smell began to appear in the air, burning the chest like fire with each breath. Because he already knew the changes in the toxins in the poisonous rain, Gu Zheng had been carefully observing his physical condition, his body was getting heavier and heavier, and his reaction power was decreasing...... Countless negative states continue to accumulate in the body, which is an extremely slow process, and if you don't pay attention to it, you won't notice it at all, but when the accumulated toxins reach a limit, it will be a terrifying change from quantity to quality.
Because the information obtained in advance was not accurate, including Gu Zheng, no one bought a face protector that seemed to breathe, and Gu Zheng had no choice but to tear the clothes on his body, and sat on a simple mask to protect his mouth and nose.
The zombies in the rain curtain have come closer and closer, and in the torrential rain, these zombies are like a wall, connected together, like a wall. When the nearest zombie appeared a hundred meters in front of Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng noticed something unusual. These zombies are not following their instincts as usual, but a large number of zombies are lined up and moving in a certain direction, which means that behind these zombies, there must be a commanding creature. This also means that if Gu Zheng and a few people are exposed, it is very likely that they will be discovered by the creature in command. An unknown existence, with the ability to control a large group of zombies, and even manipulate the climate of heaven and earth, is definitely not something that a few people can fight against!
The only thing to be thankful for is that this poisonous rain not only infected Gu Zheng and several people with toxins, but also hindered the zombies' sense of sight and smell. Although the distance is not far away, these zombies have not yet discovered the existence of Gu Zheng and the others. There was no time to signal to the others, Gu Zheng hurriedly lay on the ground with Yang Xin, staring cautiously at the zombie team in front of him, and after making sure that he had not been found, Gu Zheng turned around and prepared to notify the others, but found that Wu Ju had already squatted and ran quickly, and informed the others of the news.
Time passed little by little, and the team of zombies became larger and larger, and countless zombies lined up in a long line, slowly advancing in a certain direction. There are beasts that have just been parasitized as zombies and their bodies have not yet rotted, there are elites who have evolved several times with ghost fire on their bodies, and even zombie birds with huge wings in the sky...... These countless zombies were connected together, and none of the zombies made a sound, just silently moving forward in the torrential rain. And with the expansion of the zombie team, the zombies have also become crowded, and the zombies standing on the edge naturally move out of their positions, and the outermost row of the zombie team is only less than twenty meters away from Gu Zheng and the others!
The toxins in the rain are getting thicker and thicker, and the toxins mixed with the water droplets at the beginning have turned into a viscous green liquid, which does not slide off immediately when it falls on the body, but sticks to the body, gradually forming a green film. Gu Zheng lay motionless on the ground, and the poisonous rain had already covered Gu Zheng's body with a thick layer of green mucus. These mucus are extremely toxic, and as soon as they come into contact with the skin, they will immediately drill desperately into the human body, not only with a stinging sensation, but also extremely itchy. But if it weren't for this layer of green slime that gave Gu Zheng a camouflage, then Gu Zheng would have already been discovered by the zombies at this time.
Gu Zheng was lying on the ground, less than five meters away in front of him was an endless group of zombies, and behind him was a bottomless canyon, there was no way to enter the sky and no door, all Gu Zheng could hear was the sound of his crazy and restless heartbeat. The fluttering figure spread from the heart to the blood vessels, making Gu Zheng's eardrums tremble, if he didn't dare to move at all, Gu Zheng even wanted to cover his heart with his hands, for fear that this sound would attract the attention of countless zombies in front of him. As for whether Wu Ju and the others behind him were safe, Gu Zheng didn't have time to think about it at all.
Every minute and second became extremely long, and when the figure of the last zombie disappeared into the rain curtain, Gu Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Tentatively moving his fingers, Gu Zheng was horrified to find that he had lost control of his body! No matter what kind of command Gu Zheng made, his body would not give any reply! Obviously he could feel the existence of his limbs and body, but he couldn't move! Gu Zheng struggled desperately, but his body seemed to have cut off the connection with his brain, and he would not give any response at all! It was only at this time that Gu Zheng suddenly discovered that it was not only the body, but even the things like turning his head and blinking could no longer be done.
As long as this poisonous rain penetrates into the human body, it will even hinder the body's ability to control it, and the rain is still falling, and the venom sticking to the body will only become more and more, and there is already fluid on the ground, I am afraid that in a few more hours, these accumulations will bury Gu Zheng! The most terrifying thing in the world is not death, death is only a result, the real horror is the process before getting the result!
Gu Zheng has been an adventurer for several years, and he has long been aware of death, but he is just not afraid of death. The torture of extracting souls, being chewed and swallowed by huge creatures, and being beheaded alive...... Gu Zheng has conceived all kinds of ways to die, but this kind of death method that is covered by mucus, his body can't move, and he can only wait quietly to starve to death, Gu Zheng has never been prepared. What's even more terrifying is that this is a zombie plain, God knows if there are parasites in this slime, if these parasites control Gu Zheng's body when Gu Zheng can't move, then wouldn't Gu Zheng have to watch his body be controlled by parasites? Taking a step back, even if you are lucky enough to starve to death here, then no one in this barren mountain or mountain will come to collect Gu Zheng's body, and the memory chip will be buried on this zombie plain with Gu Zheng's body, day after day, year after year, and there will never be a day when you will see the light of day again!
Gu Zheng's eyes widened in horror, and he watched as more and more fluid accumulated on the ground, gradually flooding Gu Zheng's mouth, and then soaking through his nose, choking into Gu Zheng's lungs with Gu Zheng's breathing...... It is very strange that this kind of mucus does not hinder Gu Zheng's breathing, but Gu Zheng can feel the mucus flowing and shuttling in his lungs! These mucus continue to invade Gu Zheng's body, but it will not drown Gu Zheng's consciousness, so that Gu Zheng can only watch himself being overwhelmed by the mucus, his vision turns pure green, and he can't make any resistance at all.
The rain was still falling, and when the sky was dark again, there was no living creature in sight beside the canyon, everything was covered in green slime, and only a sea of green remained.
