At that time, on the rooftop of the building, in order to ensure their own safety, Lu Yu and others had to design to lure a phase-level zombie and kill it with the help of the mutated archer fish in Building 4.
Although the seduction process was very smooth, and the mutated archer fish in Building 4 was also very powerful, it directly drove a light yellow pointed cone into the brain of the phase-level zombie.
However, the tenacity of the phase-level zombie's vitality is far beyond everyone's imagination. The moment Xu Xiaoxiao dragged it onto the rooftop, he suddenly launched a counterattack. Fortunately, Lu Yu took action quickly and shot the phase-level zombie in the mouth. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. .
"But what impressed me most at that time was not Brother Yu's neat shots, but my own physical changes..."
Zhang Ning's hands kept moving, continuously chopping the corpse's cervical vertebrae.
"At that time, I seemed to feel inexplicably upset after hearing the screams of phase-level zombies, so Brother Yu asked me to stay on the second floor. It wasn't until they lured the phase-level zombies to the rooftop that I returned to normal."
"Brother Yu then used the intercom to contact Uncle Ni, and then I went upstairs with the kitchen knife."
"I went up to the top of the building in one breath, but I was out of breath. But logically speaking, my physical fitness shouldn't be that bad, right?"
Recalling the details of that time in his mind, Zhang Ning grasped two key points.
One is that after hearing the screams of phase-level zombies, he felt an inexplicable irritability in his heart;
The second is that after rushing up the stairs, the level of physical energy consumed was far beyond his imagination.
You must know that Zhang Ning was a passionate young man who maintained good fitness habits before the disaster. If it were before, climbing to the top of the building in one breath would indeed consume a lot of energy, but it would not make him pant like a dog.
If the reason was due to poor physical fitness, then he would not have been so relaxed and natural when dealing with the zombies just now. He should have been out of breath and exhausted.
"After becoming what it is now, it seems that the explosive power of the body has dropped a lot, but the increase in endurance is really amazing..."
After repeated comparisons, Zhang Ning finally came to a decent conclusion.
As for the screams of phase-level zombies that aroused his inner irritability, Zhang Ning at that time simply thought that his body was reacting to the screams, similar to the instinct hidden in his body hearing the wild exchange. , began to feel restless.
But now it seems that the real reason is not the case.
While You Dou was circling just now, the zombies at the lower level kept roaring, but it didn't cause the slightest reaction from Zhang Ning's body. It just sounded a little noisy.
However, the screams of phase-level zombies immediately aroused the irritability in Zhang Ning's heart. This obvious contrast made him have to rethink the reasons behind the phenomenon.
"Perhaps it's because of the different types of zombies? The screams of phase-level zombies naturally arouse the resentment of soldier-level zombies?"
While talking to himself, Zhang Ning completely regarded himself as a soldier-level zombie.
But how could a normal zombie think about the changes in his body like he did? In the consciousness of those walking zombies, finding a place to get some fresh prey to eat is the right way to go.
"Until we figure out the situation, it's better to try to avoid phase-level zombies in the future."
Think of this

Suddenly, there was something strange in the right hand that was holding the knife to chop the bones. Zhang Ning took a closer look and found that the corpse's cervical vertebrae had been chopped off by the kitchen knife. The head of the zombie was like a deformed ball, rolling to the side.
From the fracture of the cervical vertebrae, lavender mucus similar to the cervical vertebrae of phase-level zombies oozed out.
"Well, 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 looked at the purple mucus that kept dripping from the cut.
This purple mucus also has a strange fragrance, but unlike the spinal fluid of phase-level zombies, the purple mucus in the cervical vertebrae of death-level zombies has a much thinner smell, and the color is also a little lighter, and it looks almost transparent. .
"Tsk, I still really want to eat..."
Looking at the small puddle composed of lavender liquid in front of him, Zhang Ning stuck out his tongue and licked his lips before speaking subconsciously.
But after saying this, he immediately covered his mouth alertly, as if he had said something very taboo.
"Old Swan, why can't I get rid of this thought? I am a human being, not a zombie..."
Just when Zhang Ning was daunted by the pool of purple liquid in front of him, the mountain cannon not far away brought the huge dog's head close to him. The head of the newly promoted zombie on the side had long since disappeared, and the spine on his back was also roughly cut. They dug it out and ate it, leaving a broken body lying on the ground.
The giant dog had already finished enjoying its feast, and the reason why it came to Zhang Ning's side was to see if he could still catch something.
The brown dog eyes looked at the corpse on the ground thily, and soon discovered the pool of lavender liquid at the broken neck of the corpse. At that moment, without waiting for the owner next to him to react, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand. His tongue began to lick rapidly.
By the time Zhang Ning came to his senses, Shan Pao had already licked up all the lavender mucus on the ground, and was still licking the fracture at the cervical vertebrae with intent.
"You greedy stupid dog, you come to eat mine after eating your own..."
He patted the husky's head with a dumbfounded look. Since the spinal fluid had been licked away by the mountain cannon, Zhang Ning no longer had to worry about what to do. He picked up the kitchen knife on the ground and pulled the giant dog towards home.
Zhang Ning also stepped forward to deal with the remaining secondary infected bodies in the surrounding area. Now that the sun has set, the visibility in the community is rapidly declining. Although his body is special, there is no need to take risks in order to clean up these secondary infected bodies. .
After all, there are endless zombies to kill, and men should know how to be kind to themselves.
In this way, one person and one dog walked side by side and returned home safely.
As soon as she entered the house, Zhang Ning's mother looked up and down at her son. Although in terms of time, it only took Zhang Ning less than half a day to go to and from Chiyue Community, in the eyes of this mother, her son was Go for quite some time.
"Your clothes..."
Zhang's mother soon discovered something strange about Zhang Ning's body. The clothes that were still intact and clean when she went out had become tattered and stained with black marks, which looked similar to blood plasma.
"It's okay. I was riding a motorcycle too fast and I accidentally fell and tore my clothes. But I was lucky and didn't get hurt at all."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Faced with the worried look in his mother's eyes, Zhang Ning naturally couldn't tell the truth. He just made up a random reason and tried to excuse it.
"Just lie to me. You fell off a motorcycle and your clothes were smashed like this, but nothing happened to you. You think your mother is a three-year-old child. Let her see where she is injured. I'll give it to you. Apply medicine."
Zhang's mother looked unbelieving and insisted on asking her son to take off his clothes for her to check. Zhang Ning couldn't resist and had to do so.
Taking off his shirt that had turned into a piece of rag, Zhang Ning exposed his upper body. The gray-white scales were like a tightly fitted half-armor, covering his neck and the upper part of his chest. There were several new flesh-colored scales. It has also turned gray and looks almost the same as the scales on the side.
"Son, what are these things growing on your neck? I remember when you came here in the morning, these scales were still black. Why are they white now?"
Since he was shirtless, his scales would inevitably be exposed in front of his mother. The topic that he had deliberately ignored before was brought up again by Zhang Ning's mother. This time, even Zhang Ning's father cast a worried look. .
Depending on the situation, it was impossible to just deal with it. After thinking for a moment, Zhang Ning decided to tell the truth to the second elder.
"Dad, Mom, actually my current state is somewhat similar to a mutant among zombies. The exact name should be called a soldier-level zombie."
"But you don't have to worry. Although my body has changed like this, I don't have the thoughts of biting and eating people like those zombies on the street. I am still me, but my body has changed."
"You can understand it as, well, some kind of change in the body, like contracting some non-fatal chronic disease. Although it looks a bit scary, I am still me and nothing fundamental has changed."
Zhang Ning worked hard to organize his sentences, trying to describe his current situation as less scary as possible, trying to calm down the emotions of his two elders first to avoid unnecessary surprises.
Upon hearing that her son was almost the same as the zombies outside, the fragile mother Zhang immediately became anxious, and deep worry climbed onto the middle-aged woman's cheeks, making her sigh.
"Then, what should we do? Now there are zombies chasing and biting people outside. We definitely can't go to the hospital. If this disease is not cured, will it become like those zombies..."
"Oh, Mom, it's okay. I'm different from the zombies outside that are chasing people and biting them. They have been infected by the virus in their brains and turned into monsters with no IQ that only eat meat and drink blood. But I still have independent consciousness. , there is no need to eat flesh and blood..."
Zhang Ning patiently comforted his mother, but the effect seemed not obvious. Finally, Zhang's father spoke, which made Zhang's mother's mood stabilize a little.
"Don't worry. Didn't my son tell you that there are some changes in his body, which have no impact on his life. Women, don't always think of things so bad."
Although Zhang's father's words were rough, the truth in them could comfort Zhang's mother's heart. After the two elders repeatedly confirmed to Zhang Ning that these changes would not bring any life danger, they eased their worries a little.
In order not to worry the two elders, Zhang Ning did not tell them how he recovered from his injury, but simply explained the whereabouts of his girlfriend Sun Jiayi...
