On the empty streets of N City, zombies were wandering slowly on both sides. Without the stimulation of sounds and smells, these greedy predators were not even willing to speed up their progress.
"Da da da……"
A slight sound came from the downspout at the corner of the street. After a while, a fat mouse came out of the water outlet, waving its pink nose and sniffing around vigilantly.
"Ouch..."
The zombies wandering around naturally noticed the changes in the water pipes, and moved closer to the water pipes. Some of them were obviously more powerful than their companions around them, and they were the first to catch the mice.
Naturally, it was impossible for a mouse to just sit there and wait for death. After feeling the threat around it, the mouse got back into the downspout again, stepped on the plastic pipe with its soles, and made a series of clicking sounds.
"Ouch!"
As if feeling that the food in front of him was about to slip away, the zombie walking at the front impatiently stretched out his claws, trying to grab the mouse's tail before it completely slipped away.
Because the forward movement was too fast, and the secondary infected body did not have the ability to see, it did not see the obstacle in front of it, and accidentally got its half-broken head stuck in the fence used to protect the water pipe.
The sound of rats trampling on water pipes gradually faded away, and the zombies surrounding the street corner returned to their original state after losing the stimulation of the sound, and began to wander aimlessly again.
But before they wandered for long, the roar of a motorcycle engine caught their attention again, and they all moved towards the center of the street.
"You see, those zombies are really stupid. There is even one with its head stuck in the fence..."
At one end of the street, a black Ducati galloped out. Zhang Ning fine-tuned the motorcycle handle and deftly avoided obstacles on the road.
"Indeed, the secondary infected body seems to have only a simple hunting instinct and seems to have no intelligence at all. However, we cannot be careless. Some creatures will indeed appear sluggish and sluggish when they are not in the hunting state, but once they enter the hunting state , all the functions of the body will be greatly mobilized..."
Tu Zhiying, who was sitting in the back seat, adjusted her posture, narrowed her eyes, and looked towards the corner of the street.
Compared to Tu Zhiying's caution, Zhang Ning's mentality seemed much more relaxed. The two of them had already left the Huayuan Community. It was not yet two o'clock in the afternoon. As long as there were no accidents on the road, they would definitely be able to meet up with their parents before three o'clock. .
"You'll feel at ease with me here. As long as there are no mutated zombies, it doesn't matter how many secondary infections come."
"Mutated zombies... I hear you keep mentioning them, and I really want to see them..."
Tu Zhiying's eyes flashed with curiosity, and her exploration of unknown things seemed to allow her to completely ignore the fear of death.
"Come on, my good aunt, we don't want to say that. If I am the only one who encounters a mutated zombie, there may be a chance to escape. If we encounter it together, you say that I am in the same place with you. Should I wait to die? Or should I leave you and run away alone?"
"Fuck you, is it really that terrible..."
Hearing the joke in Zhang Ning's tone, Tu Zhiying lightly punched the other person's back. Just as she was about to say something more, her attention was suddenly attracted by something.
"What's this……"
Tu Zhiying was surprised to find that on the back of Zhang Ning's neck, in addition to the dark scales, there were also some bulges in the center, which seemed to be a strange thing.
"What?"
Zhang Ning, who was driving a motorcycle, heard a question coming from behind him and subconsciously responded.
.
"On the back of your neck..."
"Oh, those are scale armor, a characteristic that all zombies have, so there's no need to make a fuss..."
Zhang Ning thought Tu Zhiying had noticed the dark scales on her neck, and said indifferently.
"No, it's not just scales. What is this bump..."
The woman's uncertain voice came from the back seat, and the next moment, Zhang Ning felt a cold touch on the back of his neck.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't poke around, it's very cold..."
Shrinking his neck to avoid Tu Zhiying's probing, the motorcycle beneath him shook, seemingly crushing the stones on the road.
"Concentrate on driving. Instead of being bitten to death by zombies, we two will die in a car accident."
Tu Zhiying said angrily and continued to poke the bulge on the back of Zhang Ning's neck with her fingers.
"I asked why your fingers are so cold. The temperature is not low today. Why are your fingers like ice cubes..."
After holding the motorcycle steady, Zhang Ning saw that he could not stop his aunt, so he had to shrink his neck and ride the bike honestly.
"My hands are cold? I think it's because your body temperature is high?"
After glancing at Zhang Ning, Tu Zhiying put her finger on her forehead and said with some confusion.
It's almost June now. As a standard southern city, the air in N City is already scorching hot. No matter how special Tu Zhiying's physique is, in such a climate, it is impossible for her palms to get cold.
What's more, she was wearing quite a lot of clothes. If it weren't for the strong wind blowing from time to time while sitting on the back seat of the motorcycle, Tu Zhiying would even want to take off a few pieces of clothing.
"Is my body temperature high...fuck!!!"
As Zhang Ning screamed, the entire motorcycle shifted to the left. Before Tu Zhiying could react, she felt her body suddenly lose its center of gravity.
Under the influence of huge inertia, this unsuspecting woman was thrown out by her eldest nephew.
Fortunately, the speed of the motorcycle was not very fast, so Tu Zhiying only rolled a few times on the ground. Except for some scratches, no bones were injured.
"Well...it hurts...you..."
Burning pain spread from all parts of her body. Tu Zhiying gritted her teeth and got up from the ground. Just as she was about to speak, she was frightened by the scene in front of her and froze in place.
She saw a pale, hairless monster standing in the middle of the road, tilting its withered head towards her position.
No, it can’t be said to be watching.
Because there is no shadow of an eyeball where the monster should have eyes, leaving only two dark eye sockets.
It relies on sound to locate its prey and is listening!
The black Ducati was leaning on the sidewalk, while Zhang Ning was half-kneeling on the left side of the road, staring nervously ahead.
"Zhang Ning..."
Seeing that Zhang Ning was still by her side and nothing serious happened, Tu Zhiying felt that most of the uneasiness in her heart had disappeared, and she subconsciously struggled to lean forward.
But Zhang Ning, who was half-kneeling in front, silently stretched out a hand with his palm turned up to signal Tu Zhiying not to move.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
"Click... click... click..."
A harsh gurgling sound came from the monster's skinny chest, like the sound of a clockwork gear that had not been oiled for a long time, turning hard.
"look
It looks a little bad..."
Muttering something in his mind, Zhang Ning didn't dare to take his eyes away from the monster in front of him for a moment.
This monster is obviously not an ordinary secondary infected body, and it does not have the characteristics of an animal. It should not be a mutated creature born after an animal was infected by a virus.
Soldier-level zombies? Impossible, the soldier-level zombie has dark scales on its chest and neck, and has a pair of scarlet eyes.
Phase-level zombies? That was even more impossible, because the monster in front of him had a bare back, no bone wings, and no flesh wings.
Zhang Ning's brain was working rapidly, recalling the mutant zombie types that Zhang Jike once mentioned.
From the appearance, the lower body of the humanoid monster in front of me is extremely developed, and the muscles on its thighs are like neatly arranged strings. When it moves slightly, you can see its silent rhythm.
"Damn it, I'm sure you won't encounter car-level zombies..."
Seeing that the opponent's leg muscles were so developed, Zhang Ning immediately thought of the car-level zombies that Zhang Jike had mentioned.
Mutated zombies known for their strength possess overwhelming fighting power.
"But don't car-level zombies have eyeballs on their heads? Why don't I remember Lao Zhang mentioned this feature..."
I don't know whether it was the blurred memory caused by the current emotional tension, or Zhang Jike never mentioned the appearance characteristics of car-level zombies. In short, Zhang Ning could not recall any more identifiable characteristics for a while.
And he also discovered that the monster in front of him seemed to be stunted.
This monster seemed to only have abnormally developed muscles in its legs, while the rest of the body looked like a dried corpse. There was only a thin layer of skin covering the bones, making it look extremely weak.
"They are probably car-level zombies that have not fully evolved. It seems that I am quite lucky..."
Swallowing silently, Zhang Ning thought optimistically.
He didn't connect the monster in front of him with the terrifying horse-level zombies at all. This was no wonder. After all, Zhang Jike only mentioned the name of the horse-level zombies at that time, and did not introduce the appearance characteristics of this type of mutated zombies in detail.
"Since it is a car-level zombie that has not fully evolved, and it looks like it is blind and has no visual ability, so as long as it makes no sound, it should be able to leave here safely..."
While thinking in his mind, Zhang Ning carefully raised his left foot, preparing to move away from the stunted "car-level zombie" in front of him.
Just as the raised left foot was about to fall, Zhang Ning's heart suddenly flashed like lightning, and he suddenly thought of something.
"How did this zombie in front of me suddenly appear in the middle of the road?!"
The memory of the crash was still vivid in his mind. At that time, his attention was indeed distracted by Tu Zhiying's actions, but the road in front of him was so wide, and the nearest obstacle was a car that broke down on the roadside thirty steps away from them. , from a frontal perspective, there is no cover for concealment in a small area.
And the weird "car-level zombie" in front of me seemed to appear out of thin air in the middle of the road.
Excluding the possibility that zombies can become invisible, the only thing left is an exaggerated movement speed to achieve the strange effect of suddenly appearing in the middle of the road.
"Mom's kiss, moving so fast, is killing me..."
Zhang Ning felt pain in his heart. At this time, he was already convinced that the monster in front of him moved at an astonishing speed.
Being chased by a zombie known for its speed, escaping has become a luxury. It seems that the only way to escape intact is to fight...
