Chapter 36: Memetic Infections and Aberrations

"Twenty meters of blade?"

His eyes widened in surprise again, and William was a little eager to try, but he still didn't try the knife in this tavern after all.

"You've really started researching the technology to artificially create the 'Doomsday Disaster.'"

In the face of more and more apocalyptic disasters, it has almost become inevitable to study and master those "apocalyptic disasters".

Galvin was just ahead of its time, but it wasn't the only researcher.

After all, while those apocalyptic disasters have brought great crises to mankind, they have also brought unimaginable opportunities to the world.

Scientists in this time and space are not fools, and the basic concept of "mastering the skills of the master to control the razor" still exists.

"However, why is Lab 37 researching some cold weapons?"

In fact, it's no wonder that William complained so much, it is really in a modern society dominated by hot warfare and even over-the-horizon strikes, and cold weapons are really not suitable for combat.

However, the test products produced by the No. 37 laboratory every time were either knives or swords, and at the most time, they were cold weapons such as bows and crossbows.

"Well, that's mostly a doctor's personal hobby......"

Scratching his head rather in embarrassment, Peter naturally knew about this flaw.

However, the doctor who led the No. 37 laboratory liked this thing, and he couldn't persuade the other party to change the direction of research.

"Besides, compared to those high-tech weapons made by the government, the cold weapons made by the doctor are obviously more suitable for you."

This suitability not only refers to William's own proficiency in hand-to-hand combat, but also refers to the fact that cold weapons are not easy to be inspected and punished by officials.

"It's ......"

Simply flicking two sword flowers, William was just about to continue to say something, when a huge explosion suddenly came from the side of the tavern.

Bang!

Under the stunned gaze of everyone in the tavern, the wall on one side of the tavern suddenly collapsed.

Immediately afterward, a monster-like wail came from the other side of the wall, along with the panicked cries of the streets.

"What ......"

One of the big men closest to the wall stood up, just trying to see what was going on outside.

A huge arm like a skeleton suddenly stretched out from the other side of the wall, directly holding the big man's neck like a chicken.

Click......

With a clearly visible sound of bone cracking, the big man's neck tilted, and he couldn't breathe anymore.

This sudden scene stunned everyone, including William and Peter.

Before they could come to their senses, the monster carrying the strong man in one hand broke through the collapsed wall and officially appeared in front of everyone.

"Ril!"

It was a mythical alien monster.

The upper body is the image of a burly strong man, and the lower body is the appearance of a giant horse with four hooves and flames.

Just standing silently outside the collapsed wall, the hideous faces of the people and horses give people a strange and ghostly feeling.

The most important thing is that the size of the centaur is very amazing, the height is three or four meters high, and the strong body is like a small road roller.

"Ril!"

There was another hiss, and the centaur slammed the strong man in his hand at the people in the tavern.

Seeing this, everyone in the tavern woke up from their shock and ran towards the gate of the tavern as if they were fleeing.

"That's ...... Aberrations!? ”

Suddenly coming back to his senses, William stood up instantly, his eyes full of irrepressible anger and hatred.

Aberrations, also a type of "doomsday disaster".

Unlike other chaotic "doomsday disasters", the aberration is by far the most widespread and threatening "doomsday disaster" in the world.

According to the official version, this "doomsday disaster" was one of the first "doomsday disasters" to appear in this world.

The horror lies in its completely incomprehensible form of "memetic contagion" and its inevitable distortion once infected.

In the early days of this "apocalypse", there was no difference between the infected and ordinary people.

However, once the infected person has a certain emotional fluctuation, especially negative emotions, it will cause some kind of terrible pathology in their body.

When this lesion reaches a certain level, the infected person will completely abandon the human body and transform into various forms of alien monsters.

Because the infected person only became short-tempered and withdrawn at the beginning, the people around him would not even know that the other person had been infected.

When William was infected because of his neighbor, he didn't find out in time.

Then he caused his family to die, and one of his arms was torn off.

"Damn aberrant monsters, die!"

Without hesitation, he drew his knife and rushed towards the tall centaurs.

William showed his ruthless killing intent at this moment, which he had tempered through blood and fire in the past six months.

Sue!

The Fluid Knife was far sharper than William had imagined.

Barely encountering any resistance, he slashed the table and chair in front of him into two pieces.

The extended blade was even more aimed at the chest of the centaur, threatening to split the opponent in half.

"Ril!"

Between the lightning and flint, the centaur also showed his strangeness as a family member of the evil god.

The flesh of the arm bulged as if it had its own consciousness, turning into a real flesh shield in front of the blade.

Boom!

It was obviously not a real sword and shield, but at the moment of collision, there was a piercing sound of gold and iron.

In the next second, the centaur's other arm turned into a spear and stabbed hard in William's direction.

"Be careful!"

Peter, who had not reacted until this time, reminded loudly.

Although Peter is not a professional combatant, he is also a person who knows about the "apocalypse".

In terms of knowledge and courage, Peter was far from being able to match the tavern crowds who had not seen the aberrations and were scared away.

Bang!

Pull out the miniature pistol you carry with you and quickly pull the trigger.

Peter shot through the centaur's skull, leaving a striking hole in the center of his head.

Unfortunately, such an injury is not a fatal injury for a centaur.

Peter, who didn't even bother to shoot, insisted on stabbing William with his arm turned into a spear.

"Wang!"

At this critical moment, a sudden dog bark from not far away miraculously shocked the people.

As if encountering a natural predator, the massive body of the centaur suddenly stiffened in place, and the flames of the four hooves disappeared as if they had never appeared.
