"Hey, hey, don't get me wrong. I don't know what's going on. Don't look at me like that..."
Zhang Ning waved his hands in a panic and tried his best to explain, but the faces of the three people opposite him did not reveal a trace of belief. Instead, they all closed their eyes and crossed their arms.
"Your appearance makes me more and more strange..." Xu Xiaoxiao narrowed his eyes.
"You are indeed a zombie, you can smell things that we can't smell..." Zhang Jike said, touching his chin.
"You don't have any thoughts about the brains of those two zombies..." Ma Long made an exaggerated expression and concluded.
"Forehead……"
Shocked by the barrage of words from the three people, Zhang Ning's brain instantly short-circuited, and he, who was so eloquent, was unable to react for a moment.
Speechless, Zhang Ning couldn't help but recall his experience of waking up from the morgue again.
"Could it be that I really turned into a zombie?"
Zhang Ning once again set his sights on the big hole in the zombie's head. He had to say that if he lost his ability to think, he would definitely go up and eat those disgusting things without hesitation.
Although the black mucus flowing out of the zombie's head was not as strong as the purple slurry from the previous money tree, it still had a weak attraction to him.
"If I stick out my tongue and lick it, I will be shot in the head by Zhang Jike... I will definitely..."
Zhang Ning thought to himself, and at the same time glanced at the three people near the door with the corner of his eye.
Finally, after some inner struggle, he decided to tell everyone the truth.
Although Zhang Ning is in the second grade, he is not a fool.
The ancients said, "Three cobblers can rival Zhuge Liang."
Zhang Ning understood that he could not figure out the changes that had occurred in him.
It's better to tell everyone, maybe we can brainstorm and figure out what's going on.
"Well, I did smell a faint fragrance coming from the zombie's brain."
After making up his mind, Zhang Ning clenched his fists and expressed his feelings to the three people at the door.
"It's hard to explain this feeling. It's like an acquired instinct, guiding me to eat these things."
As he spoke, Zhang Ning pointed to the black mucus flowing out of the hole.
"But I personally refused, because not only does it look disgusting, but it's also human brain..."
Everyone looked at Zhang Ning, who had a troubled face, and then understood the whole story, and they all fell into deep thought.
"Actually, what I'm more concerned about right now is, do you have the urge to bite someone?"
Ma Long looked at Zhang Ning, who was standing there not daring to move, like a prisoner waiting for sentencing, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Of course not, I don't feel anything at all..."
Zhang Ning shook his head like a wave and denied it again and again.
"Then I have no problem..." Ma Long breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
"Hey! Why don't you take out this zombie's head? Like in the novel, maybe there will be something like a crystal core, which can be strengthened by eating it."
Xu Xiaoxiao seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he suggested.
"This..." Zhang Ning looked at the zombie whose head was shot in front of him and scratched his head.
It's not that he hasn't thought about this possibility. After all, as a middle-school patient who is inspired to become a novelist, Zhang Ning is still familiar with the setting of "zombie's heads have crystal nuclei".
But if you really want him to take it out, you still need to do some mental construction.
"How about? Take it out? Maybe there really is a crystal core or something..."
Zhang Ning stretched out his right hand towards the zombie's head and slowly reached it through the hole.
The wounds caused by the rifle bursts at close range were huge, enough for Zhang Ning's palm to penetrate completely.
"It's just a ball of paste, a ball of paste..."
Closing his eyes, Zhang Ning continued to hypnotize himself in his mind, stirring his fingers back and forth in the zombie's head, trying to find something inside.
"There's nothing, just a ball of paste, not to mention how disgusting it is..."
Zhang Ning took his hand out of his head and spread it towards Xu Xiaoxiao, indicating that he had not taken anything out.
But Xu Xiaoxiao did not answer, but stared at his right hand with a surprised look on his face.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with my right hand..."
Zhang Ning's eyes turned to his open right hand, and he swallowed back the word "Le" that had just reached his lips.
There is still a lot of black mucus from the zombie heads on his palm, but the area covered is constantly decreasing.
The reason why the mucus decreased was not that it dripped on the ground, but that it was absorbed by his skin!
"My mother-in-law!"
Zhang Ning screamed strangely and quickly stretched his right hand to the farthest point. It was as if his right hand had turned into a poisonous snake and would bite him back at any time.
Zhang Jike and Ma Long soon noticed something strange about Zhang Ning's right hand, and couldn't help but came forward out of curiosity to find out.
"Back off! Curiosity kills cats, not just cats."
Seeing that the two soldiers were about to step forward to check, Zhang Ning hurriedly reminded him.
The mucus on his hands is not something fun. The stuff coming out of the zombies' brains, you can tell from your butt that it contains a lot of viruses.
It's okay for Zhang Ning. Anyway, his current appearance is probably no different from a zombie.
But Zhang Jike and Ma Long are ordinary people who have never been exposed to the virus. It would be terrible if someone accidentally gets infected by these black mucus and becomes infected.
Zhang Jike and Ma Long were not slow to respond. They heard the meaning of Zhang Ning's words and stopped moving forward.
As time passed by, everyone silently watched the changes taking place on Zhang Ning's right hand.
Finally, the last drop of black mucus on Zhang Ning's hand seeped into his skin and disappeared without a trace.
Just when everyone was about to say something, a strange change happened again.
The black blood vessels that were originally looming under the skin of his right arm suddenly bulged and began to beat violently.
At the same time, Zhang Ning's body began to tremble slightly. He seemed to be suffering from a sudden illness and was about to fall to the ground at any time.
"Zhang Ning, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Jike was shocked when he saw this and quickly asked.
I saw Zhang Ning raising his head with difficulty and speaking intermittently.
"No, it's okay, oh! This feeling, oh! It feels so good!"
As he spoke, a look of relief appeared on his face. Zhang Jike's mouth twitched when he saw it, and he almost couldn't help but go up and shoot him.
"Huh!" After 30 seconds of trembling, Zhang Ning breathed a long sigh of relief and returned to normal.
"Did I see it wrong? It feels like the scales on your neck are a little darker."
Xu Xiaoxiao, who had been silent until now, suddenly said.
"Well, it seems a little darker." Ma Long narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Ning's neck.
The fine black blood vessels that originally covered Zhang Ning's body were completely hidden at this time.
From Ma Long's perspective, Zhang Ning in front of him was no different from a normal human except for the strange scales on his neck and his eyes that were still scarlet.
"Hey! It's really amazing. I feel like my waist is no longer sore, my legs are no longer painful, and I have more strength all over my body!"
Zhang Ning shook his hands and jumped up and down.
"I know! You must be like Spider-Man?"
Xu Xiaoxiao seemed to have figured out something and said to himself.
"ha?"
Everyone was confused for a while.
"Think about it, Spider-Man was bitten by a spider, so he gained superpowers and became like a spider, able to climb walls and spin silk."
"Then you were bitten by a zombie. By the same principle, you also gained superpowers and became like a zombie!"
Zhang Ning murmured to himself after hearing this.
"So now I am..."
"Zombie Man!"
I saw two funny men and women saying in unison, their eyes full of excitement.
The two soldiers stood aside, completely confused.
But fortunately, Zhang Ning's condition didn't seem to be abnormal, so the two of them stopped talking and continued walking downstairs as originally planned.
Fortunately, there were no zombies blocking the road during the rest of the journey, which made Zhang Ning and his party walk quite easily.
Unfortunately, during the inspection of the houses one by one, no survivors were found.
In most houses, after Malone knocked on the door, scratching sounds of varying frequency came from inside the door, and no survivors responded.
Among them, in Room 1204 on the west side of the 12th floor, after Ma Long knocked on the door, there was a sound of banging on the door, which scared everyone and immediately retreated to alert.
However, after the thing in the door hit twice, it lost its sound. It seems that it lost its target and stopped hitting it.
After the four people observed the door for a while, they determined that as long as they didn't knock, the things in the door would not continue to knock on the door, so they ignored it and continued walking downstairs.
But the further down they go, the heavier everyone's mood becomes.
From the top floor down to the entire 17 floors, there was not a single survivor.
"Alas, the end of the world that we have imagined countless times has actually happened before our eyes."
Zhang Ning, who was walking at the front, lamented that since he had become the "Zombie Man" in the eyes of everyone, the arduous task of opening the road naturally fell on him.
"This is just a disaster. I believe that as long as there are survivors, we will be able to restore our home to what it used to be!"
Ma Long, who was following the team, cheered everyone up. The Chinese have always been a nation unwilling to admit defeat easily. As long as some people are still alive, order can be reestablished!
"Yes, I have always been very confident in our nation!"
Zhang Ning was cheered up and felt much better after hearing Ma Long's words of encouragement.
Just when he was about to turn around and say something, he suddenly saw Xu Xiaoxiao behind him suddenly stop and look behind him in horror.
"You, the door of the house behind you is open!"
Zhang Ning immediately looked forward after hearing this. Sure enough, the door of Room 1103, located at the corner, was ajar.
The sound of two bullets being loaded came from behind Xu Xiaoxiao. Zhang Jike and Ma Long pulled the bolts of their guns and stared ahead tensely.
"I'll go take a look first."
Zhang Ning whispered hello to the three people behind him, then leaned forward and slowly moved towards the door.
Just when he was about to touch the door, the door clanged and slammed shut...
