Chapter 7: Who is the Monster?

What's the situation?

The emotions that had finally calmed down were like waves surging again, and he was momentarily stunned by the horror and fear that he was in place, and then the monster's head suddenly exploded, and the flesh and bone foam hit his face, bringing a burning sensation of burn.

The monster's screams of pain stopped abruptly, and its fist dangling in mid-air stopped.

The sound of bullets breaking through the air was heard again, and Sarin staggered up from the monster's corpse and ran away!

He swore that he had never run so hard, not even when he faced the monster just now, because death was so close and he didn't even know why he was being shot!

That's an explosive bomb!

Hey, it's humans who shoot, they're mistaken, right?

The images around him flashed by, and Sarin ran through the alley into the darker depths.

The sound of firing continued, and the bullets passed by and shattered the walls.

He was breathing rapidly, his heart beating wildly, and he didn't dare to slow down for a moment.

After a right-angled bend, the feeling of being stared at finally disappeared, and he quickly slipped into a shop window, locked it from the inside, and crouched under the low window to hide.

This sudden attack made Shalin completely unaware of the situation.

Therefore, he did not dare to make a little noise, blindly asking for help or questioning the shooter, I was afraid that at the moment of revealing the position, his head would be the same as that monster's, becoming a watermelon falling from a height of eighty meters.

He completely hid his figure in the darkness, his forehead covered with cold sweat.

At this moment, he didn't even dare to look up at the window, he could only pray for this extremely real nightmare.

After about three to five minutes, there was a sound of footsteps outside the window, and finally the footsteps stopped at the fork in the road in front of the clothing store.

The big yellow dog that had been left behind in the store was wandering around, and it looked at the stranger curiously, and Shalin hurriedly made a silent gesture to it.

"Shhhh

The yellow dog lay on the ground boredly, no longer scurrying around, and Shalin dared to cautiously show a little gaze and look out.

He saw two men outside the store wearing dark brown hazmat suits, completely encased in their bodies, and their faces were wearing devices that resembled gas masks, with almost no skin exposed to the air.

This hazmat suit looks like something out of many zombie games, or a dark brown wetsuit from a thousand years ago, with a bit of decadence in the middle of its discreetness.

Sarin recognizes that this protective suit is specifically designed to isolate radiation damage.

The two men in protective suits had guns in their hands, one carrying a barrel the thickness of a child's arm, and the other holding a K-series submachine gun, loaded with ammunition, and searched around with binoculars.

Dark gray coffins, lead coffins, monsters, radiation suits......

When these few words came to mind, Shalin quickly thought of a terrible conjecture, it seemed that there was only one thing that could make everything the way it is!

The Kappa nuclear power plant accident, the contamination caused by the nuclear leakage, and the variability of nuclear radiation......

Although he had never heard of nuclear radiation being able to turn humans into such monsters, the effects of radiation on living beings were almost all going in a bad direction, and Shalin knew about it.

In fact, to what extent the most cutting-edge technology on the sub-satellite has developed at present, as a Kapa resident living in a technologically backward area, Shalin does not know.

Therefore, he is not sure whether nuclear radiation will make humans like that.

After deducing the truth about the nuclear power plant accident, the memories that had been sleeping deep in the cerebral cortex of Sarin were suddenly stimulated, and the numb and crispy sensation was skewered in his head.

He covered his head, and the two hunters outside the window hadn't left.

They couldn't find Shalin anywhere, so they leaned against the wall and chatted.

"Boss, why did you say that the one we were chasing just now would fight with the other one, I haven't seen this situation before. ”

"Mutants are unconscious and can do anything. ”

The man with the barrel of the gun said indifferently, they were using the lingua franca of Yaxing, not the official language of Kappa City, but Shalin had learned the lingua franca of Yaxing when he was in school, and he could barely understand their words.

He also noticed that both men's hazmat suits had a red shield emblazoned on the back collar, which was clearly not the emblem of the Asr League where Capa was located.

Not a Kappa person......

After discovering this kind of incident, Shalin did not dare to expose himself and continued to eavesdrop.

"Boss, is it possible that some of these things we killed were just body mutations, but their brains weren't broken, and they thought they were humans?"

"That's none of our business, the Firewall Corporation is commissioned to kill all the creatures in the radiation zone, we just need to remember this. ”

"Gotcha!"

The indifferent voice devoured Sharin's hope, cold without a trace of warmth.

Subconsciously swallowing his saliva, Shalin's heart beat faster, and there was something he couldn't figure out why these two people would treat themselves as mutants as well.

Do they think that as long as it is within the radiation zone, people who do not wear protective clothing will definitely mutate?

Raising his hands to look again, he already knew he was injured, but Shalin confirmed that there were no strange bumps or scales on his body, just some scars and blisters that looked like they had been burned by fire.

And these scars, which have scabbed, are to some extent highly consistent with the expression of radiation sickness.

Of course, Sarin is well aware that the wounds of radiation sickness patients do not heal, and when γ rays enter the body, the DNA can be fatally damaged.

Therefore, when the cells of the human body need to divide, and the DNA division fails, the radiation sickness patient will suffer greatly, the cells will only die of apoptosis and will not be reborn, and the whole person will finally be dissolved from the inside and outside.

Just like some sea creatures that dissolve themselves after death.

But Shalin had seen the scars on his body crust over when he left the lead coffin, so he didn't think about radiation damage at first.

With questions, and the conversation between the two people, a sense of uneasiness suddenly rose in Shalin's heart.

Perhaps, I need a mirror......

As the hunter walked away, Salin poked his head out to make sure there was no one outside, and he mustered up his courage to go to the large floor-to-ceiling fitting mirror of the clothing store.

The clear and shocking picture was quickly reflected in his frightened big eyes!

bulging dark red pustules on the face, a collapsed nose bridge and valgus nostrils, exposed baby pink gums, and bulging large ear piercings......

The dots of white flowers, large patches of pink skin of different shades of color, and tender pink new skin are slowly coming out, and the dead skin is fading!

Sticky hairs on the top of his head, big round eyes, and an ugly, distorted face in shock.

"Ah——!h

"Ahhh——!h

"No!"

"It's not me!"

"This must be fake, how is this possible!"

Whoop -

The fitting mirror was flipped to the ground by Shalin, the sparse lenses reflected all the man's embarrassed ugliness, the crisp cracking sound caught the attention of the hunters, and the sound of running quickly rushed towards the clothing store.
