All the intestines and internal organs were smashed into pieces, and the severe pain was like ocean waves, overwhelming Zhang Ning's nerves, and black blood foam continued to flow from the corners of his mouth.
The familiar feeling of near-death swept over him again, and the rage and anger in his scarlet eyes gradually receded, leaving only confusion and regret.
"Am I still going to die? I've never hit anyone before... Uh, it hurts..."
Intermittent thoughts flashed through his already inflexible mind. Due to the massive loss of body fluids, Zhang Ning soon entered a state similar to hypoxia after regaining consciousness.
In his remaining consciousness, only pain and regret soon remained.
"I'm so unwilling..."
The pain in his body gradually blurred, as if the connection between consciousness and body was gradually disconnected. Zhang Ning felt that his body seemed to be getting lighter quickly, just like what was described in the film and television works, the soul began to separate from the body, slowly Rising towards the air.
With only scarlet vision left, Zhang Ning vaguely felt a dark figure leaning down, and a fishy smell penetrated his nose, announcing the identity of the visitor.
"Are you going to be eaten... Sigh... It seems that I am really not the protagonist..."
Strange thoughts popped up in Zhang Ning's mind one after another. At this moment, his numb body trembled slightly, and a feeling similar to electricity hit him from the back of his neck and spread throughout his body in an instant.
After that, nothing changed.
The scarlet red in front of his eyes gradually dimmed, and eventually turned into a despairing darkness. The sound of teeth gnawing at flesh echoed in Zhang Ning's ears, but there was no longer any pain emanating from his body.
Zhang Ning suddenly understood that this was the reaction that a person would have when he was about to die.
It is said that when a person is on the verge of death, all the senses in the body will lose their function, even the body. Pain is no longer transmitted through nerves.
At this moment, the last sense to disappear is hearing.
Therefore, some people often say that after a person dies, the mournful cries of children and relatives can be heard by the deceased, because when all body functions stop, the hearing organs can still work normally for a period of time.
"It seems I'm really going to die..."
With the thoughts in his mind, Zhang Ning's uneasy heart calmed down. Facing the inevitable outcome, he had nothing to fear, but he was just a little regretful that he had not protected his parents and that he had not found his missing girlfriend.
"The Sword Comes"
In the darkness, the passage of time seemed to have stopped. Only the repeated sounds of chewing and tearing flesh constantly reminded Zhang Ning that his consciousness had not completely died.
But strangely, his consciousness no longer seemed to be as intermittent as before, but became much clearer. The pain that had disappeared gradually became clearer. At this moment, Zhang Ning felt as if his body was unwilling to let his soul leave, forcing him to Pulled it back.
"hiss……"
A large amount of air mixed with the fishy smell and the unique smell of black mucus poured into his nasal cavity, and his originally chaotic brain suddenly became clear. Only then did Zhang Ning feel that there seemed to be a heart growing on the back of his neck, because the muscles there were constantly changing. Beating, beating regularly.
The tingling sensation of electric current continued to spread from it, and with each beat, Zhang Ning's consciousness became clearer.
"That thing seems to be eating my belly..."
Zhang Ning quickly adapted to the feeling on the back of his neck and patiently gathered strength.
Severe pain from the muscles being torn was constantly coming from his abdomen, but he did not move at all, because his body's strength had not yet been fully restored, and blind movements would only make him into a deadlock again.
Zhang Ning won't let the counterattack opportunity he finally got go away easily!
"Ouch!"
The gnawing sound of the female soldier suddenly stopped, and a roar rang through Zhang Ning's ears.
"Is it possible that there are other
Mutated zombies are approaching? "
Zhang Ning was slightly startled and his eyelids trembled, wanting to see what was going on around him.
But before he could open his eyes, a feeling like running water flowed along his skin, originating from the beating at the back of his neck, and quickly covered his entire head.
The eyes are located directly in front of the face, and are naturally wrapped in this touch, making Ning's eyelids seem to be covered with a layer of water, unable to open them at all.
"this?"
Zhang Ning was confused and confused. He knew very well that there should be some changes in his body, but he had no idea what the specific changes were.
What's even weirder is that Zhang Ning seems to feel that his body is slowly rising, as if the ground beneath him has become the platform of an elevator, taking him up quickly until his entire body returns to a standing position.
No matter how calm Zhang Ning was, he could not remain calm at this time. He immediately exerted his strength on his limbs and prepared to do something.
But with this thought, he quickly realized something was wrong.
Although his hands and feet had become weak due to injuries before, at least there was no feeling of restraint, but now he felt that there was a hard shell outside the skin. The flexibility of this shell seemed to be very poor. His hands and feet were not allowed to move at all.
The howling in the ears still continued, but it had changed from the previous arrogance to fear, and there was a slight tremor in the voice.
"Is she afraid? What is she afraid of?"
Zhang Ning's current state is that of a blind man who cannot move, and can only rely on his remaining hearing to obtain information from the outside world.
Although the body has changed from lying on the ground to standing upright, this change does not seem to be helpful in understanding the current situation.
"Ouch..."
Like a firecracker that went out, the roar of the female soldiers suddenly stopped at this moment, leaving only incomparable silence and darkness.
"Hey, why is there no sound? Could it be that he is dead?"
Although the roar of the soldier-level zombies is not pleasant to the ear, the previous repetition seems to have made Zhang Ning a habit, and the sudden disappearance seems to have brought him a lot of uneasiness.
In Zhang Ning's perception, there was only a bottomless darkness and an unsettling silence.
"No, it doesn't seem to be completely silent..."
The voice in his heart sounded, and Zhang Ning began to calm down the irritability in his heart, trying to use his remaining sensory organs in the hope of obtaining more information.
As if in response to his thoughts, there was a sudden sound in the silence around him.
"Gulu...Gulu...Gulu..."
It was a sound similar to the sound of liquid being swallowed through the throat. It was thin and frequent. However, because the sound was too small and more like background music that was easy for people to ignore, it did not attract Zhang Ning's attention in the first place.
A big question mark popped up in his head, and Zhang Ning tried hard to move his limbs, but the restraints around him did not change at all, and were still as unshakable as before.
"I have no choice but to wait..."
After talking helplessly in his heart, Zhang Ning simply relaxed his nerves and thought about other things in his mind.
He is naturally optimistic. Although there are too many doubts in front of him, there seems to be no way to get more information at the moment. Anxiety will not make things turn around, so he can simply wait patiently.
In the darkness, Zhang Ning finished thinking about his parents, his missing girlfriend, and the stupid dog mountain cannon. Familiar faces appeared in his mind over and over again.
When he thought for the third time about Lu Yu and others he met a few days ago, Zhou's situation finally emerged.
Made some changes.
The gurgling sound in the background suddenly stopped, and a sound similar to the cracking of a brittle and hard material reached my ears.
Like a cracked eggshell.
It's just that this eggshell wrapped Zhang Ning's whole body, and the first place to crack was the farthest toe.
A crunching sound came from the feet, then the calves and thighs.
The shattering sound was like collapsing dominoes, changing from one to two, and from two to four, all the way from the lower body to his face.
"Creak...pop!"
Feeling something falling off his face, a flash of black and red suddenly penetrated the dark vision. The long-lost light penetrated Zhang Ning's eyelids and stimulated his retina, informing him of the changes around him.
"Uh? This is..."
His eyelids trembled slightly, Zhang Ning opened his eyes impatiently, but the bright light in front of him made him a little uncomfortable for a moment, and it took him a while to slow down and see the scene in front of him clearly.
What he saw in front of him made him stunned for a moment, his lips and teeth trembled, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
In front of him was a withered corpse. Judging from the clothes on his body, he was the female soldier-level zombie who had fought with Zhang Ning earlier.
It's just that now she no longer has the lively state she had before. The flesh and blood all over her body seems to have been highly dehydrated, and her gray-white skin is like dry wax paper, sticking tightly to her body.
If it weren't for the ferocious expression on the zombie's face, Zhang Ning would have suspected that it was a carefully crafted specimen placed in front of him while he was unable to move.
If there was only such a corpse in front of him, Zhang Ning, who had seen the wind and waves, would not be so shocked.
What stunned him was that not only was there a specimen-like mummy in front of him, there were also many shriveled corpses standing densely around his body.
These corpses were the same as the corpses of female soldiers. Their bodies seemed to have been highly dehydrated, dry and fragile, without any vitality.
"W-what's going on? Didn't I fight with that zombie before..."
Zhang Ning's peach blossom eyes widened in surprise, looking around in disbelief.
Even if some magical changes occurred in his body, allowing him to successfully kill female pawns, how could he explain the shriveled zombies around him? Could it be that he was also responsible for it?
There was something strange coming from his abdomen. Zhang Ning looked down and saw that the clothes on his body had been damaged in the fight with the female soldiers, so he should be able to clearly see his belly at this time.
But as far as the eye could see, there was only a large area of smooth and dark scales.
"Fuck, psoriasis has spread, it's over, it's over..."
Constantly touching the scales on his belly, Zhang Ning could only feel the touch of his fingers coming from it, as if he was wearing a piece of clothing that fit closely to his body, without any discomfort.
"Didn't that zombie dig a hole in my stomach? Why now, except for a large patch of scales, there are no wounds at all..."
Thinking of how he had lost his mind before, Zhang Ning couldn't help but shudder.
After hearing the screams of the female pawn, he indeed fell into madness. Although he could not completely control his body, his sanity still existed. Otherwise, facing a powerful enemy, he might have run away to save his life, instead of fighting to the death with the opponent.
It was because of the existence of a trace of reason that Zhang Ning was able to recall the details of the battle, and the memory of his stomach being pierced by the zombie's claws was particularly profound.
After staring at the mutated belly for a while, Zhang Ning looked up at the zombies around him. Unexpectedly, this action caused his neck to touch something brittle and hard, and unknown fragments were scattered on his back, as if he had been dropped. A small field of snowflakes...
