Chapter 6: Killing
[Rhythm change]
Roots turn into feet,
The living corpse crawled like a spider, and there was no time to think or hesitate,
however
In the face of all this, Yi Chen has an unprecedented firmness...... He's put everything on the battle in front of him that transcends all the sense.
"I never thought I would be able to get through the crisis easily.
I was supposed to die in the lab, but now I was unexpectedly given the "qualification" to travel through rebirth...... If you want to truly grasp such qualifications, you must pay a huge price. ”
Hands clenched into fists,
Lift your legs,
Forcibly break free from the roots that run through the soles of the feet.
Even the hooks and barbs between the roots have long been deeply rooted in the flesh and blood.
Yi Chen could clearly feel that the flesh and blood between his feet were being removed by the slightest...... This intense pain can make most people unable to continue exerting force, and even faint on the spot.
"Pull it out for me!!"
A roar welled up from the deepest part of his throat.
Swish!
Breaking free from the shackles, dark red blood splattered all over the ground.
On the surface of the freed soles of the feet, you can clearly see the holes the size of fingers, and there are still a lot of minced flesh and flower petals left inside.
Yi Chen didn't let out any screams during the whole process, and even his breath was restrained.
Next is the important moment that determines life and death,
The living corpse is in sight,
The real threat is not only the mycelium that spits out of the mouth,
The roots that grew on the back of the living corpse were also fully open, aiming at Yi Chen's arms, waist, abdomen, legs and feet.
Try to penetrate and stand in the air to facilitate eating.
This moment.
Perhaps the stimulation caused by the severe pain further exacerbates the secretion of adrenaline.
Perhaps in the face of a looming crisis, the potential is fully stimulated.
"I've got to find a flaw!"
【Field of Vision】
The picture of a living corpse received indirectly by the visual is as if it is frozen.
Transform it into a static ultra-high-definition picture and analyze the details in your brain.
Jump back and dodge, no!
Roll sideways, no!
One-way breakthrough, no!
One by one, the simulated actions that tried to break the dilemma were rejected one by one.
until you find the best way to cope.
The whole process of thinking and analyzing hardly consumes time.
Call...... Take a deep breath
Facing the living corpses within reach,
Yi Chen didn't choose to dodge or distance himself, nor did he make any defensive stance.
It's about committing a dangerous act that is incomprehensible.
【Step Forward】
With a super-fast forward step, you can 'face to face' with the living corpse in advance.
however
It was such a sudden step forward that made the rhythm of the simple-minded living corpse chaotic,
The left and right piercing roots all missed, and at most they only cut through the arm.
But
Although it is necessary to avoid the puncture of the roots, there is still a danger.
The mycelium that grows in the mouth of the zombie is about to be veneered.
At this point,
Yi Chen has changed to a two-handed axe,
One hand at the bottom of the handle of the axe,
With one hand close to the axe,
This greatly increases the power of the slash and shortens the attack range...... Suitable for close-quarters combat.
Due to the stimulating effect of adrenaline, the two arms burst out with terrible green tendons,
Step forward with your right foot and press your body forward slightly.
The center of gravity sinks,
The body is arched,
Raise your arms and press down with your axe!
The silver blade drew a perfect arc in the air,
In front of the mycelial patch,
Slash vertically and accurately on top of the head of a living corpse.
The corpse skull, which was already decomposing and torn, could not withstand such a blow at all.
Click!
The skull was completely cut open,
and then cut open the cyan brain that is integrated with the moss,
Then break the jaw and go straight to the neck~ all in one go!
The whole head was completely split by this axe,
At the same time, due to the effect of silver, black smoke billowed from the wound...... The moss-like brain completely dissolves and turns into drops of green liquid that flow to the ground.
This also means that the newly formed "simple consciousness" of the living corpse is completely erased and degenerates into a lower creature that does not have the ability to think.
At this moment,
Titicaca~
The ball of flesh rooted in the shoulder sensed the danger and spun around.
Share the situation behind him with Yi Chen through a small visual window.
The roots that failed to hit before are stabbing in reverse,
"Get out of the way!"
Meat ball reminder,
Yi Chen quickly made a coherent action of leaning over to dodge and rolling sideways...... Swish!
The body appears to have been poked during the tumbling.
When the tumbling is over, stand up,
The whole left arm hung weakly, and he couldn't lift it at all, and only his fingers could move slightly.
Take a closer look,
The left upper arm has been pierced through a hole the size of a coin, and there is even moss left in it, infecting the wound.
Tick tock~
The blood slid down the arm and mixed with the blood spilling from the soles of the feet, and the ground was widely stained red.
The effects of severe pain and blood loss came like a tidal wave
At the slightest hint of slackness, consciousness will collapse completely.
"No...... I can't die! ”
Yi Chen shook his head vigorously, forcibly keeping himself awake.
Hiss! There was a strange sound.
Five meters away,
Between the severed heads of the living corpses, the silver burning had stopped.
Immediately, a large number of shoots and branches emerged from the wound, intertwined with each other...... The two halves of the head are at an angle of 90° to form a flower cluster, which is used as a new head.
Looking at Yi Chen again,
Like an unconscious mad beast, rushing in.
Distorted body,
Exaggerated pace,
The roots of the back are dancing wildly,
Yi Chen can only use visual enhancement to try his best to gain insight into the route of each root.
The eyes were bloodshot in the process,
Rolling, sideways, backward jumps.
Find every gap and give a counterattack.
7,
6,
5,
…… The tentacles were cut off by Yi Chen,
Similarly, due to the penetrating injury on the sole of his foot and his weak left arm, Yi Chen's movements were obviously slower than before.
In the process, he was pierced through his waist and abdomen and torn his thigh.
It can fall at any time.
"Also...... There are still two left. ”
Bite the bullet.
Yi Chen was about to dodge the next attack.
Airplanes!
The ringing in the ears struck like gongs and drums beating in the brain.
The field of vision instantly blurred, and the perception of the body was rapidly disappearing.
The dodge is only half done, and the body falls forward
Swish!
The roots of the living corpse can't be completely dodged,
Almost brushing his right shoulder,
It just so happened to scratch the black meat ball mounted on the shoulder,
A thick, grotesque black blood flowed from the hairy wounds,
The eyeballs in his mouth were also dyed black in an instant, staring at the living corpse in front of him.
Just one glance! It causes the living corpse to have a primitive instinctive reaction.
[Fear]
An extremely strong instinct of fear forced the living corpse to freeze in place,
At the same time,
Yi Chen, who was in a trance, didn't fall down after stumbling forward...... I don't know what kind of perseverance I used to concentrate again.
He couldn't think about it anymore,
There is only one thought in my mind - [Kill the target]
The axe is lifted in mid-air,
While making a slashing motion, the body also writhes.
The potential stimulated between life and death mobilizes the strength of the whole body,
The vision is locked on the bulge around the waist of the living corpse.
Sou!
Also out of the instinct of survival,
The roots that grow on the back of a living corpse are immediately protected from the 'vital point', and the epidermis hardens.
The silver blade fell......
Click!
A sound similar to the breaking of trees and broken pieces of wood can be heard in Cemetery 4.
Two hardened roots were tossed into the air,
The diseased suppurative mass, hidden at the lower end of the skin, is completely incised......
The moment the slash is completed,
Perseverance can no longer sustain it,
Yi Chen's eyes darkened, and he fell to the ground with the living corpse.
