After discovering that the little girl was a zombie, Feng Yuan was stunned for a few minutes before he regained some consciousness.
After that, he conveyed the little girl's situation to the Order through the abilities of a professional!
Time flew by, the clock hand hanging on the wall turned again and again, the sky was soon covered by a black cloth, and night fell.
Having witnessed the tragic deaths of zombies with her own eyes and seen many horrible monsters through the window, this eight-year-old girl was different from her peers in strength.
Being in such an unfamiliar environment, surrounded by "bad guys", she became strangely silent, just staring at the clock with lifeless eyes, "tick-tick" swinging back and forth, her movements also swaying nervously, muttering "I miss my mother" and "someone is bullying me" and so on. Until a heart-wrenching scream came from upstairs, she immediately collapsed, cried hysterically, and wanted to rush out.
But Feng Yuan would never give her a chance. He waved his arm like an iron clamp to block her way. Then he took a few quick steps and threw her on the bed in the inner room. He locked the door and no matter how she cried and made a fuss, he did not open the door and just sat down on the sofa, his face as dark as a mirror and full of worry.
The accompanying clerk leaned aside and did not stop her. He just sighed and said, "Isn't this too cruel for her?"
Feng Yuan hesitated for a few seconds, then regained his composure: "I am doing this for her own good. After all, she is not the only one infected!"
At this time, Feng Yuan was no longer the god of death who chopped zombies with a ruthless sword, but had become a person who still had humanity.
If it was Feng Yuan at the beginning, he would have been frightened and confused when he saw this scene when the end of the world came, but now, after experiencing so many supernatural things, he has gradually gotten used to his current life.
Whenever the world faces a crisis of life and death, there are always two extremes. There are traitors and lackeys who disregarded their bloodline and persecuted their fellow countrymen during the Anti-Japanese War, and there are also iron-willed men who issued the order to kill the Five Barbarians during the Invasion of China. Cowardice and bravery are twins, which are powerless to control and impossible to restrain.
No one knows what Feng Yuan has encountered along the way. The betrayal between brothers, human baits, and atrocities committed by evil men are all tragedies that pierce his heart. It can be said that the evil spirit in his body has accumulated to the peak.
But Feng Yuan had experienced despair, but he also rescued himself at the moment when he was close to the abyss. It was because of this that Feng Yuan's madness and calmness were directly proportional. He was a centurion with diverse emotions!
What is the darkest thing in this world
It’s not the cruel environment, but the twisted human heart!
Distorted humans are the real demons in this collapsed world, and the harm they cause is more terrifying than the mutant beasts and zombies that invaded the earth!
No one can keep his heart from being invaded in such an environment. Feng Yuan is just an ordinary person, so ordinary that a stone thrown into a crowd would not cause even a ripple. It is not easy for him to deliberately maintain the purity of his heart until today. The original promise came to his mind again at this moment: do not be a kind-hearted person who saves people from suffering, nor eradicate the greatest evil in the world. Just do whatever you want, be a free man who enjoys revenge and kills or saves anyone he wants!
Taking a deep breath, Feng Yuan felt extremely relaxed now. This might be the kind of personality he most desired in his heart. He had a feeling that all the emotions that he had deliberately suppressed in the past were released, his mind became clearer, and even the strength in his body began to beat happily. He clenched his fists and felt that the power had increased by more than 10% than before.
Compared to those fallen and dark humans, what is truly terrifying
That is, when the zombies have both no humanity and the ability to think, they will become truly terrifying weapons of mass destruction!
Feng Yuan looked at the ceiling very quietly. Through the cement bricks, he seemed to see the man struggling and roaring there, but his eyes were calm. He looked as if he was looking at a specimen.
Feng Yuan ignored the man who was screaming alone upstairs. It was not because he was cold-blooded, but after investigating, Feng Yuan made a strange discovery: not only the little girl, but even the timid man had been infected by the corpse poison. Not only had their life breath weakened, but their heartbeat was only half of that of a normal person, or even one-third of it.
What does all this mean
No one knows whether the father and daughter became like this after being bitten by zombies, or because of the surrounding environment and food!
But no matter what, Feng Yuan thought that he needed to figure it all out!
During this exploration, Feng Yuan’s main purpose was to pay attention to any movement around him, especially some hidden dimensional cracks!
There was absolutely no pattern in the opening of those cracks. Perhaps this place was a plain the day before, but the next second, countless bloodthirsty monsters would appear in the vast plain!
This is the power of dimensional rift!
When the crack is opened, even the lowest-level monsters will rush out and kill everything in front of them!
The job of people like Feng Yuan is to explore the relics on this land. If they encounter any situation, they will try to notify the order as soon as possible and wait for orders from the higher level!
Along the way, Feng Yuan originally had only one day left to end this boring life day after day, but who could have thought that the wailing of a father and daughter would disrupt all of Feng Yuan's plans!
Originally, Feng Yuan thought that it was only the girl who had mutated, so he immediately isolated her. But after that, the girl's father suddenly started to break free from the restraints like a madman.
The man is just an ordinary person. Logically, it is impossible for him to break through the obstruction of the professionals. However, a shocking scene appears!
The man used his arms to exert force and broke free from the restraints of the two professionals. Feng Yuan, who realized something was wrong, rushed to rescue him, only to find that the man's face had changed drastically!
Unlike before when there was still some blood color on his face, the man's face was pale at that moment. Not only that, his strength also increased unimaginably, and he pushed the two professionals aside in one fell swoop!
The man also changed!
Not only the little girl, but even the other person's father, changed in an unpredictable direction.
After that, Feng Yuan took the girl, who seemed harmless, back to the camp.
The man had obviously entered a state of rage. More than ten minutes had passed, and his roar had not stopped but became more and more intense!
The man was in a very bad condition, perhaps he felt something, and at this moment he felt an inexplicable, intense pain in his abdomen, as if countless sharp knives were madly cutting every pain nerve, every muscle, and every cell in his body was almost exploding into a thick pulp with pain. If it were someone else, that kind of pain would have resulted in a nervous breakdown and death in less than half a second, but the bondage in his heart gave this man endurance beyond that of ordinary people, so that he has persisted until now!
At this time, the man even knew what his purpose was!
He wants to escape from here and rescue his beloved baby!
"It's no use. I'm telling you, I won't die! I won't die as you wish. I still have a daughter. I can't leave her in your hands. I can't! Haha, my wife is dead and there's no way she can be resurrected. I hate myself for not going downstairs to save her. Why did I cowardly hide upstairs and watch her being eaten? Why am I still alive today? It's because of my daughter. I can't let her be bullied. She is my last hope. No one can take her away from me!"
The man's consciousness began to become confused. The psychological pressure caused by his wife's death in the past completely erupted at this moment!
The man spat out black blood foam, his face was covered with blue veins like a centipede, he was panting like a demon, one hand pulled his neck, the other hand reached to his abdomen, felt his body that had lost its feeling, and stared at the front with an unprecedented determination. He was sublimated from this moment. He was redeemed from the collapse. If he could survive in the end, he would become stronger because of his heart of atonement!
But before that, he had to continue to endure this indescribable pain. No one could give him any help except himself!
"Power? Is this what power feels like? Why does it feel so cold?" At this moment, the man clearly felt the surging power in his lower abdomen, which turned into waves and drilled into his limbs and internal organs! It was a gloomy breath of death, and it was corroding his flesh and blood. If this power increased, his vitality would eventually be destroyed and he would gradually turn into a zombie!
"No! I don't want to die. My daughter still needs someone to take care of her. I want to live! I want to live!" There was no concept of time. This pain seemed to be frozen in time. The man gritted his teeth, making a "crunching" sound. Because of the excessive force, his gums were even worn out, and a large amount of blood was seeping out; but he did not give up. He was still roaring and screaming madly in his heart, trying to turn the resentment in his body into a furnace that would burn everything, so as to refine this death aura.
But all this was in vain. He had never possessed this kind of power before, so he could not grasp it in the first place and allocate its direction! The extension of the severe pain made his mind sensitive at any time. He could feel the fat on his body gradually becoming thinner, and the surface of his skin was oozing out pieces of juice, and then his skin became dry and shriveled like dead skin!
The man finally felt a piercing fear, not like before, but completely surrounded by despair, as if a devil had crawled out of hell, occupying his chilly body, tightly gripping his heart, as if it could crush this heart that had finally ignited hope at any moment!
"Am I going to die? Am I really going to die? But I really don't want to accept this. I am only one step away from having the power to protect the one I love. Why am I so incompetent? Why can't I even endure this little bit of pain? Let me live, give me a strong body, so that I can protect her from any danger. I am willing to exchange my eternal damnation for this!"
"Bang!" The sound of a door being pushed open was heard, and Feng Yuan walked to the roof with steady steps.
"Failed?" Looking at the motionless man lying on the ground, Feng Yuan's eyes revealed a hint of strangeness at this moment.
"This is probably your final destination. The dead are dead, and the living must continue. Your daughter should hate me as the murderer of her father, but maybe not, because you are no longer simple human beings, but have become half-human, half-corpse beings!"
Feng Yuan has no habit of talking to the dead, but today is an exception. In a sense, the other party is his biggest gain in this exploration!
Feng Yuan exhaled, and the strangeness in his eyes was quickly eliminated. Just as he was about to turn around and go downstairs, he heard a sound of friction on the ground behind him.
"How is it possible! He is still alive?" Uncertain, Feng Yuan looked over immediately, but saw a surprising scene. The man, who had just been classified as a corpse by him, actually moved!
He stretched out his hands, firmly supported on the ground, and struggled to stand up. Feng Yuan did not care or help him. At this time, he was like a newborn antelope in the wild, unable to rely on external forces and could only stand up independently.
"The other party's body is gradually changing!" Looking at the resurrected man, Feng Yuan was about to express his opinion, but was so surprised by his appearance that he was speechless. He saw that the man who was still flesh and blood in the previous second, as he stood up, his appearance was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
In just one minute, this thin man turned into a mummy-like creature. There was almost no fat left on his body, and even his shriveled skin was covered with pale corpse spots. His black hair turned the same yellow as dead grass, just like the autumn grassland, full of desolation. His eye sockets were deeply sunken and his eyes were dull, like a dried-up well!
"I'm still alive? I'm still alive!" A hoarse voice came out of his mouth.
"He can speak and think, he's not a zombie, no... He is indeed dead and turned into a species like a zombie, but he has retained his wisdom and ability to think!"
"What is this?"
Looking at the man who was staring at the abnormally sharp nails on his hands with a confused look on his face, fear appeared on Feng Yuan's face for the first time.
He seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. After several energy storms, the zombies, who had been constantly suppressed by monsters and insects, might have discovered unknown changes in some unknown areas.
Those zombies... not only are immortal and extremely powerful, but they also possess the ability to think that is unique to humans!
If there are only a few individuals, it would be nothing, but if all the zombies around are infected and mutated, then it will be a real challenge to order!
