Chapter 145: Tentacles
After the outbreak of the cataclysm, the Akatsuki community.
On the empty streets, there are only zombies wandering slowly, and the elegant and chic Akatsuki community is quietly located on the side of the road, and the closed fence establishes a boundary between the community and the outside world, as if it is self-contained in this world.
The plants in the community are lush and green, and compared with the reinforced concrete outside, it is like a paradise.
There was no back and forth traffic, no loud noise, not even a birdsong.
Everything seems so quiet, like a picture scroll, which makes people feel unreal from the bottom of their hearts.
Suddenly, a loud explosion came from inside the Akatsuki community, shattering the silence, and the greenery in a certain part of the community suddenly slanted outward, as if it was blown by the strong wind generated by the explosion.
A moment after the explosion, an inaudible sound of heavy objects falling to the ground followed, and then the entire community returned to the original silence, and even the greenery that had just been blown by the strong wind slowly returned to its original position, everything seemed to have never happened, and there was no trace from the outside.
After hearing the explosion, the zombies wandering outside the community turned their ears sideways, turned their bodies in the direction of the community, and were about to step forward, when the source of the sound stopped abruptly, making them stunned in place for a while, and finally scattered and separated, and continued to wander aimlessly.
Somewhere in the Akatsuki community, a black explosion mark with a diameter of two meters appeared on the originally clean masonry floor.
Fragments of white bone were scattered radially around the blast marks, several of which were even inserted into the concrete walls of the side.
A little farther away from the center of the explosion, several mutilated zombies were struggling on the ground, some had their arms cut off, some had lost a thigh, and some had even lost half of their heads, black mucus seeped out of the zombies' wounds, gathering into a small black puddle on the ground.
A little farther away, there was a flowerbed of shrubs and plants, and in it lay a young man whose clothes and pants had been dyed black and red, his body was covered with large and small white bone fragments, some of which had been submerged into the wounds, while others were still mostly exposed, and looked extremely terrifying.
But the strange thing is that this young man was also affected by the explosion, but the parts on his body were intact, and he was not missing arms and legs like the zombies lying on the ground.
It's just that the flesh on one of the arms was completely torn apart, revealing the white bones in it.
"Wang!"
In the silent Akatsuki community, a dog bark suddenly sounded, and in the flower bed about forty meters away from the center of the explosion, a huge husky was drilled, which was Zhang Ning's mutated pet dog - Mountain Cannon.
And the young man who was lying in the flower bed who didn't know whether he was alive or dead was Zhang Ning, who was injured by the self-detonation monster.
Two triangular ears the size of pot lids were raised high, and the mountain cannon shrugged its nose and sniffed into the air, its fist-sized brown eyes looking back and forth, looking cautiously like a weak rabbit.
In the end, the husky, which was the size of an adult stallion, seemed to be sure that the surrounding environment was not dangerous, so he cautiously got out of the flower bed, and took cautious steps towards the flower bed where Zhang Ning was located.
But before the giant dog approached the flower bed, its attention was attracted by the zombie with missing arms and legs on the side, and shook its head the size of a rice jar back and forth
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Or decided to leave the new owner in the flower bed and go to satisfy his appetite first.
At this time, the mountain cannon had completely lost its previous appearance of cowardly dogs, and in the face of the secondary infected body that was constantly struggling on the ground, its dog face showed an evil smile.
After a while, the sound of flesh chewing and bones being gnawed came from the open space of the community, mixed with the occasional wails of zombies.
When the mountain cannon finally finished eating the zombies on the ground, he turned around with satisfaction, took light steps, and walked slowly in the direction of the flower bed.
The huge dog paws stepped on the ground flexibly, easily avoiding those sharp bone fragments, and the huge mountain cannon soon came to the flower bed, looking at Zhang Ning, who had turned into a black blood gourd, and tilted the dog's head the size of a rice jar in confusion.
"Wang!"
Another loud dog bark, the mountain cannon tried to wake up his new owner in this way, but it was obvious that Zhang Ning, who was in a deep coma, could not hear at all and could not react to the mountain cannon's dog bark at all.
After waiting quietly for a while, the mountain cannon put his front paw on Zhang Ning's chest again, trying to press it down.
This is a way for pet dogs to interact with their owners is often used, and although the mountain cannon has changed dramatically in size after the mutation, a large part of the previous habits have been retained.
However, Mountain Cannon seems to have ignored his huge size and the weight gain that comes with this size.
Zhang Ning's chest had already been hit by the impact of the bone fragments during the explosion and became fragile, and at this time, he was slammed by the dog's paw the size of a fan, and suddenly there was a clatter, and it sank inward.
And Zhang Ning, who was unconscious, was directly forcibly woken up by the severe pain at this time, his scarlet peach blossom eyes widened, and he looked at the stupid dog in front of him in disbelief.
"I ...... Lean ......"
Immediately after, in his slightly open mouth, he spit out a large mouthful of black and red blood, tilted his head, and passed out again.
There was a slight puzzled look in the pupils of the mountain cannon, although the mutation had brought it an increase in size, but as a pure-blooded husky, it couldn't understand what had just happened.
Obviously, his new owner has woken up, why is he pretending to be dead on the ground now, could it be that he wants to play with it?
Thinking of this, the mountain cannon suddenly became interested, as a dog, how could he refuse to play with his master?
I saw that the mountain cannon immediately raised his front legs and repeated the previous pressing action again.
But this time, Zhang Ning was not forcibly awakened again, but spit out some foamy red and black blood foam from his mouth.
The chest that had already sunken down again became almost half the width of the original chest cavity, and if a normal person had such a narrow chest cavity, I am afraid that the heart would be compressed to stop beating.
And the young man who fell in the flower bed also behaved very much like a dead man, allowing the giant dog to keep pressing, but there was no reaction at all, but when the dog's paws touched certain nerves, the muscles would twitch involuntarily.
"Woo......"
After pressing for a while, seeing that his new owner still didn't react, the mountain cannon couldn't help but tilt the dog's head and stop the action that almost sent Zhang Ning away.
If Zhang Ning was conscious at this time, he would definitely grab the dog head of the mountain cannon

, crackling and beating.
Originally, he was injured by the explosion, and his body was already weak, if the mountain cannon didn't fix these moths, he would lie in the flower bed for a day or two, maybe he could recover with his peculiar physique.
You must know that he was thrown from the sky by a huge strange bird and fell into a high paraplegic and not yet dead.
And this time, although it looks very badly injured on the outside, it is actually slightly less fatal than the high-altitude fall.
But the trick is that now this stupid dog with a worrying IQ actually pressed his chest cavity into it, although it will not be fatal in a short time, but for his current situation, it is undoubtedly worse.
However, in the silent Akatsuki community, except for the giant dog of the mountain cannon, the only thing that can move seems to be a few wandering zombies in the distance.
No one would lend a helping hand to this hapless young man who had died in a flower bed.
"Woo......"
Looking at the motionless master on the ground, the mountain cannon felt that something was wrong, and anxiously arched Zhang Ning's body with a dog's head, trying to wake him up.
But how could Zhang Ning, who was seriously injured, be woken up by this simple push, but he just swayed weakly with the movements of the mountain cannon.
At this moment, a slender inky blue tentacle quietly poked out from under Zhang Ning's body.
It was a strange part that grew from the back of Zhang Ning's neck after drinking the rain of the second rainstorm.
Lu Yu once poked the head of the chopsticks, this tentacle seemed to be made of Zhang Ning's flesh and blood, and there were certain nerve endings distributed on it, after all, when touching it, Zhang Ning also experienced the same feeling.
At that time, Xiao Ran made a conclusion about this tentacle, believing that it was controlled by Zhang Ning's autonomic nervous system, rather than an organ controlled by the central nervous system.
Zhang Ning can temporarily control the behavior of the inky blue tentacles through consciousness, just like a person can temporarily control his lungs and hold his breath.
When the central nervous system is dormant, the lungs, which rely on the control of the autonomic nervous system, can still operate regularly to maintain the body's metabolism and ensure the continuous operation of life.
The inky blue tentacles are supposed to be a special organ similar to the lungs.
It's just that the function of the lungs is to breathe, and the function of this tentacle on the back of the neck is unknown.
The inky blue tentacles resemble a small snake meandering through the air, constantly stretching its original body.
The tentacles that began to be as thick as pencil shafts grew longer and thinner as they stretched, and eventually turned into the thickness of iron nails in the air, and the length reached about one meter correspondingly.
The tips of the tentacles began to split apart, like a small lotus flower blooming at the very top.
From the center of the "lotus", a few strands of scarlet silk as thick as a hair stretched out, swaying in the air, slowly attaching the body of the giant dog.
And the mountain cannon that was concentrating on arching Zhang Ning with his head was naturally unaware of this change, and was still repeating useless wake-up movements.
The scarlet thread sticking out of the "lotus" was like having eyes, and after touching the body of the giant dog, it grew rapidly, and soon passed through the thick hair, silently piercing into the flesh of the mountain cannon......
