Chapter 155: I Still Want to Eat
At that time, on the rooftop of the building, in order to ensure their own safety, Lu Yu and others had to design and lure a phase-level zombie and kill it with the help of the mutated water shooting fish in Building 4.
Although the process of luring was very smooth, and the mutant water fish in Building 4 was also quite powerful, it directly nailed a pale yellow sharp cone into the brain of the phase zombie.
But the tenacity of the vitality of the phase-level zombie is far beyond everyone's imagination, and at the moment when Xu Xiaoxiao dragged it to the rooftop, he fought back, fortunately, Lu Yu shot quickly and shot at the mouth of the phase-level zombie, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
"But what impressed me the most at that time was not Brother Yu's neat shot, but my own physical changes......"
Zhang Ning's hands kept moving, continuously chopping the cervical vertebrae of the corpse.
"At that time, I seemed to feel inexplicably upset after hearing the howling of phase level zombies, so Brother Yu let me stay on the second floor, and I didn't return to normal until they led phase level zombies to the rooftop."
"Then Brother Yu used the walkie-talkie to contact Uncle Ni, and I went upstairs with a kitchen knife."
"I went up to the top of the building in one go, but it made me gasp, but it stands to reason that my physical fitness shouldn't be that bad, right?"
Thinking back to the details of that time, Zhang Ning grasped two of the key points.
One is that after hearing the howling of the zombies, he felt an inexplicable sense of irritability in his heart;
The second is that after rushing up the stairs, the degree of physical exertion is far beyond his imagination.
You must know that Zhang Ning was a hot-blooded young man who maintained good fitness habits before the catastrophe, and if he had put it before, climbing to the top of the building in one breath would indeed consume a lot of physical strength, but it would not make him gasp like a dog.
If the reason is due to poor physical fitness, then he would not be so relaxed and natural when he was dealing with the pawn-level zombies just now, and he should be panting like a cow and exhausted.
"After becoming what it is now, it seems that the explosiveness of the body has decreased a lot, but the increase in endurance is really amazing......
After repeated comparisons, Zhang Ning finally came to such a decent conclusion.
As for the howling sound of the phase-level zombie that would cause irritability in his heart, Zhang Ning at that time simply thought that it was just his body that reacted to the howling sound, similar to the instinct hidden in his body when he heard the exchange of wild emotions and began to be restless.
But in retrospect, it seems that the real reason is not.
In the process of fighting just now, the mouth of the pawn-level zombie also kept roaring, but it didn't cause the slightest reaction on Zhang Ning's body, it just sounded a little noisy.
But the howling of the zombies of the phase level could arouse the irritability in Zhang Ning's heart at once, and this obvious gap made him have to rethink the reasons behind the phenomenon.
"Maybe it's because of the different types of zombies? The howling sound of a phase-level zombie can inherently arouse the disgust of a pawn-level zombie? ”
Talking to himself, Zhang Ning had completely regarded himself as a pawn-level zombie.
But where would a normal pawn-level zombie think about the changes in his body like him, in the consciousness of those walking dead, finding a place to get some fresh prey to eat is the right way.
"Before figuring out the situation, it's better to avoid phase-level zombies as much as possible in the future."
Come to think of it

, There was a sudden strange appearance from the right hand holding the knife to chop the bone, Zhang Ning looked at it and found that the cervical vertebrae of the corpse had been cut off by a kitchen knife, and the head of the zombie was like a deformed ball, and the bones rolled to the side.
From the fracture of the cervical vertebrae, a lilac mucus similar to that found in the neck vertebrae of a zombie of the same level oozed out.
"Hmm, it smells so good......"
Seeing that the corpse's head had been completely chopped off, he put the kitchen knife aside, half-knelt on the ground, and carefully examined the purple slime that kept dripping from the fracture.
This purple slime also has a strange fragrance, but unlike the spinal fluid of the zombies, the smell of the purple slime in the cervical vertebrae of the zombies is much thinner, and the color is a little lighter, and it looks almost transparent.
"Tsk, I still really want to eat ......"
Looking at the puddle of light purple liquid in front of him, Zhang Ning stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, and subconsciously spoke.
But as soon as he said this, he immediately covered his mouth vigilantly, as if he had said something very taboo.
"I'm a swan, how can this idea linger, I'm a human, not a zombie......"
Just when Zhang Ning was afraid of the pool of purple liquid in front of him, the mountain cannon not far away brought the huge dog's head over, and the head of the newly promoted pawn-level zombie on the side had long since disappeared, and the vertebrae on his back were also rudely dug out and eaten, leaving a broken body lying on the ground.
The giant dog had already finished enjoying its feast, and the reason why he came to Zhang Ning's side was to see if he could pick up a leak.
The brown-yellow dog-eyed thief looked at the corpse on the ground sheepishly, and soon found the puddle of lilac liquid at the broken neck of the corpse.
By the time Zhang Ning came back to his senses, the mountain cannon had already licked the lilac mucus on the ground, and was licking the broken wound at the cervical vertebrae.
"You gluttonous stupid dog, come and eat my ...... after eating your own"
Laughing and laughing, he patted the husky's dog head, since the spinal fluid has been licked off by the mountain cannon, Zhang Ning doesn't have to worry about picking up the kitchen knife on the ground anymore, and pulling the giant dog in the direction of home.
The remaining secondary infections around Zhang Ning also stepped forward to deal with it, now that the sun has set, the visibility in the community is rapidly decreasing, although his body is special, there is no need to take risks in order to clean up these secondary infections.
After all, zombies can't be killed, and men must know how to be kind to themselves.
In this way, a man and a dog walked side by side and returned home safe and sound.
As soon as she entered the house, Zhang Ning's mother checked her son up and down, although from the perspective of time, it took Zhang Ning less than half a day to go back and forth to the Chiyue community, but in the eyes of this mother, her son went for a long time.
"You ...... clothes"
Zhang's mother soon noticed the abnormality on Zhang Ning's body, and the clothes that were still complete and clean when she went out had become tattered at this time, and there were black marks on them, which looked somewhat similar to plasma.
"It's okay, when I was riding a motorcycle, I was too fast, I accidentally fell and broke my clothes, but I was lucky and I didn't get hurt at all."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Facing his mother's worried eyes, Zhang Ning naturally couldn't tell the truth, but just made up a reason at random and wanted to prevaricate.
"You lie to me, you fell off the motorcycle and broke your clothes like this, but there is nothing wrong with you, you are a three-year-old child when your mother, let your mother see where the injury is, I will give you medicine."
Zhang's mother looked disbelieving, and insisted on asking her son to take off his clothes and let her check them, but Zhang Ning couldn't help it, so she had to comply.
Taking off his shirt that had turned into a rag, Zhang Ning revealed his upper body, the gray-white scale armor was like a set of tightly fitting half-body armor, wrapping his neck and upper part of his chest, and several of the newborn flesh-colored scale armor had also turned gray, looking almost no different from the scale armor on the side.
"Son, what the hell are these things that grow on your neck, I remember when you came in the morning, these scales were still black, why are they white now?"
Now that he is shirtless, he will inevitably expose the scale armor on his body in front of his mother, and the topic that he deliberately skipped before was brought up again by Zhang Ning's mother, and this time even Zhang Ning's father cast a worried look.
Looking at the situation, it is impossible to perfunctory the past, and after thinking for a while, Zhang Ning decided to tell the truth to the second elder.
"Dad, Mom, in fact, my current state is somewhat similar to a mutant among zombies, and the exact name should be called pawn-level zombies."
"But you don't have to worry, although my body has become like this, I don't have the idea of biting and eating people like those zombies on the street, I am still me, but my body has changed."
"You can interpret it as, well, some kind of physical change, like having some chronic disease that is not fatal, although it looks a little scary, but I am still me, and nothing has changed in essence."
Zhang Ning tried his best to organize the sentences, trying to make the current situation on his body as little scary as possible, thinking about settling the emotions of the second elder first, so as to avoid unnecessary accidents.
As soon as she heard that her son was almost the same as the zombies outside, the fragile mother Zhang immediately became anxious, and a thick worry climbed up the middle-aged woman's cheeks, making her sigh uncontrollably.
"So, what should I do, now the outside is full of zombies chasing people, and the hospital will definitely not be able to go, if this disease is not cured, will it become the same as those zombies......"
"Oh Mom, it's okay, I'm different from the zombies outside who chase people and bite people, they have been infected by the virus and have become monsters who have no IQ and can only eat meat and drink blood, and I still have independent consciousness and don't need to eat flesh and blood......"
Zhang Ning patiently comforted his mother, but the effect did not seem to be obvious, and in the end, it was Zhang's father who spoke, which made Zhang's mother's mood stabilize a little.
"Don't worry, didn't my son say everything, it's just that there are some changes in the body, and there is no impact on life, women's families, don't always think about things so badly."
Although Zhang's father's words were rough, the truth in them could soothe Zhang's mother's heart, and after the second elder repeatedly confirmed to Zhang Ning that these changes would not bring any danger to his life, he put his worried heart back into his stomach a little.
In order not to worry the second elder, Zhang Ning did not tell them how he recovered from his injury, but simply explained the whereabouts of his girlfriend Sun Jiayi......
