Holding a kitchen knife in one hand and a funny Jenny turtle toy in the other, Zhang Ning walked down the stairs quickly and returned to the location of the flower bed downstairs.

The body of the mountain cannon was still well covered by shrubs and branches, and there was no sign of movement.

Peeling off the cover on the giant dog's body three or two times, he thought that the giant dog was still unable to move as before, but when Zhang Ning just took away a bush covering the dog's head, the mountain cannon turned his head and stared at it with big brown and yellow eyes, and the huge dog's face was full of fear.

"Yo, can you move? Why are you looking at me like this, I'll eat you and won't ......"

Looking at the frightened appearance of the mountain cannon, Zhang Ning couldn't help but be amused by this stupid dog, if the mountain cannon didn't die and stepped on his chest into it, it is estimated that the inky blue tentacles on the back of the neck would not penetrate the mountain cannon's body, let alone almost suck it into dog jerky.

After recovering from the previous serious injuries, Zhang Ning also had a general understanding of the tentacles on the back of his neck and the role of the scale armor on his body.

Before the injury, the scale armor that grew on Zhang Ning's chest and neck was uniformly black, but after being severely injured by the explosion, the scale armor that was not blown off by the explosion all turned into gray and white colors.

This is exactly the same as when he recovered from his injuries after falling from a height, and judging from this, the scale armor that grows on his body must have some storage function.

Resembles the hump of a camel.

Camels are known to survive without water for two weeks and without food for more than a month, due to the fact that the hump on the camel's back is able to store a large amount of fat.

These stored fats can be decomposed into nutrients needed by the body when the camels do not get food, and it is precisely because of this characteristic that the camels have earned the nickname "Desert Boat".

And these scale armor on Zhang Ning's chest and neck are very similar to the hump of a camel.

It's just that the camel's hump stores fat, and the scales store something that can quickly heal injuries.

"These scales don't seem to heal on their own, and after the last fall to high paraplegia, in order to recover from their injuries, all of them turned white."

"This shows that the black substance stored in the scale armor can indeed play a role in quickly healing injuries, but the last time I was thrown down by the big bird, I did fall a little hard, almost depleting the reserves in the scale armor, and some of the scale armor even showed signs of falling off."

"In the end, I also absorbed the black liquid in those zombies, and it turned black again after being fed the rain by Brother Yu."

Zhang Ning searched through the memories in his mind, carefully recalling what happened when the color of the scales on his body changed.

As the memory is dug up little by little, the cognition of the scale armor is gradually clear.

"It seems that these scales are like a first-aid kit to me, which can store substances that can heal injuries quickly by absorbing the black liquid in the corpse and the substances in the rainwater, and when I am seriously injured, they will release the substances inside to achieve the purpose of restoring healing......"

Muttering to himself, Zhang Ninghu's right hand clenched into a fist and struck it on the palm of his left hand, with a surprised expression on his face.

"I drop the old swan, doesn't that mean that as long as the scale armor on my body is in a pure black state, I am equivalent to having two lives? Awesome......"

But the surprise on Zhang Ning's face was not

How long did it last, and soon he rubbed his chin with one hand and thought about it.

"In addition to providing a certain amount of defense, the scale armor also has the function of a blood pack, so what is the function of the tentacles on the back of my neck?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Ning couldn't help but reach out and touch the back of his neck, the inky blue tentacles at this time had changed from the petal state back to the shape of the tentacles the thickness of fingers, as if he sensed the fingers in advance, and they were very docilely wound.

"It feels weird, it's a part of my body, but I can't fully control it......"

He sighed lightly, no longer teasing the tentacles at the back of his neck.

Based on what has happened so far, the purpose of the tentacles is to absorb blood from living organisms.

When the subject's own movement is restricted or the central nervous system loses control, the inky blue tentacles will obey the control of the autonomic nervous system and respond to the stress of the surrounding environment.

Zhang Ning knew very well that if he hadn't been knocked unconscious by the mountain cannon, the blue ink-colored tentacles would not have pierced the giant dog's body, let alone forcibly absorb the other party's blood, causing the mountain cannon to be half paralyzed now.

"By the way, since this tentacle can absorb the blood of living beings, can it also absorb the black slime inside the zombies......

The thought that suddenly popped up in his head made Zhang Ning's eyes light up, and he couldn't help but want to catch a zombie and test it immediately.

Although from his previous experience, he could absorb those black mucus through his skin, in terms of absorption rate, if he could absorb it with his tentacles, it would definitely be much faster than absorbing it with his skin.

And it doesn't give him a disgusting touch.

"As long as the tentacles can absorb the black liquid in the corpse, I can quickly make the scale armor on my body turn into a pure black state, and fill up this blood pack!"

After understanding the role of the scale armor, Zhang Ning's heart was not only excited, but also worried.

The scale armor can provide healing for the body in a pure black state, and can even restore the dying life to its original state, making his vitality as tough as the unbeatable Xiaoqiang.

But now the scale armor is in a grayish-white state, and it is obvious that there is not much material left in the scale armor, and if he is seriously injured during this time, it is likely that he will lose his life.

People are often like this, what they didn't have before doesn't make him feel much care, but once he has it and then loses it, it will cause anxiety in his heart.

Zhang Ning really wanted to set off now to find zombies, or some animals that could absorb his blood, so that he could recover the reserves in the scale armor on his body as soon as possible.

However, the giant dog in front of him was obviously unable to move on its own, and although it was able to lift its head, its body was still paralyzed to the ground as if it was unconscious.

After weighing it, Zhang Ning felt that it was not a way to wait in the flower bed, so he simply decided to search the Chiyue community first to see if he could meet a few lonely zombies.

"As long as I don't run into phase-level zombies and the monsters that will explode before, my safety should be guaranteed......"

He placed the funny Jenny turtle toy in front of the mountain cannon and reached out again to stroke the fluffy dog's head.

"Pao'er, you have a good rest here, I'll go to the field first, if you encounter any danger, call me twice, and I'll come over immediately."

I don't know if the mountain cannon really understood Zhang Ning's explanation, I saw that its brown and yellow eyes widened, whimpered a few times, and then it answered honestly, and then honestly lay on the ground, staring at the muscular water spray king Ba Da Eye.

After simply covering the body of the giant dog with shrubs and concealing it, Zhang Ning carried a kitchen knife and walked towards the depths of the community.

The Akatsuki community is a small residential complex, so the area inside is not large, but due to the lush greenery in the community, there are many places that are blocked by vegetation and cannot be seen at a glance, so you need to come forward and explore.

Although the community was quiet, there were still a large number of zombies scattered everywhere, and as soon as they rounded a corner, two slowly wandering zombies appeared in front of Zhang Ning's eyes.

Judging from their appearance, these two zombies should have been residents of the community before their deaths, and the male characteristics on one of the zombies were very obvious, but the other zombie made Zhang Ning feel a little confused.

Judging from the clothing, this zombie should have been a woman before it was infected, because the zombie's ten fingers were painted with bright pink nail polish, which looked very recognizable.

Although the virus infection caused the zombies' nails to become black and long, the bright pink nail polish did not fall off, but was set off by the blackened nails more conspicuously.

Not only that, but there is also a big red bra hanging from the zombie's tattered shirt, which seems to be the more popular style before the cataclysm.

But what surprised Zhang Ning was that the zombie's exposed chest was very flat, and he didn't see the slightest female characteristics......

"Could it be that he was flat-chested before he was infected? Or did the infection degenerate the breasts? ”

All sorts of strange thoughts popped into his head, but that didn't make him give up on his plans.

"Anyway, the gender of the zombies shouldn't affect my ability to absorb the black liquid in their bodies......"

After carefully observing the surroundings for a while, after making sure that there were no mutant zombies lurking in the place, Zhang Ning swaggered out from the corner of the wall and walked straight towards the two zombies.

I have already observed just now, the eyes of the two zombies are covered with a layer of gray, and there is nothing strange growing on their bodies, so they must be secondary infections.

In the face of a secondary infected body that has no vision and can only rely on hearing and smell to find prey, Zhang Ning is not afraid at all.

And most importantly, the secondary infected will not attack him.

In the past, when the zombie crowd around the Blue Moon Garden Community was lured, although the secondary zombies would be attracted by the shouting from the loudspeakers, they would only be attracted, just like plants would grow towards the sun and animals would make their homes near the water source.

If the target of the sound is not their prey, the secondary infected will not attack after catching up with the target, but will only wander around in confusion until the sound is no longer sounded, and then disperse.

But the mutated pure virions are completely different, in Zhang Ning's impression, these mutated zombies not only have visual ability, but also the scope of predation has been further expanded, not only humans, but even his special identity of the "same kind" will be attacked by them.

"Is it possible that zombies with pure virions need to devour their own kind in order to evolve further?"

Looking down at the already gray scales on his chest, such a strange thought suddenly popped into his mind......
