Luo Yuan was shocked!

However, this speed was too slow for Luo Yuan. Before he could get closer, he heard two extremely weak "click" sounds, and the two stretched out arms had already fallen off the opponent's shoulders.

If a normal person had suffered such severe pain, he would have cried out in agony. Even if he had a strong will, a look of pain would appear on his face. But the living dead man opposite him didn't react at all. He didn't even pause and continued to rush toward him. Luo Yuan frowned, slightly surprised, but his movements did not stop at all. He dwarfed his body, held the knife in his backhand, and slashed across his knees with the sword.

As soon as he lifted his left foot, his leg began to fall off, and he stepped on nothing. Finally unable to support his body, he fell heavily to the ground, with no extra expression on his stiff face.

A large amount of blood spurted out turbulently along the smooth wound. He felt no pain and no emotion at all. He was only left with the instinct of eating. But his blood is still bright red, just like a normal human body.

He kept growling, his body kept squirming like an insect, and he moved relentlessly towards Luo Yuan.

By now, Luo Yuan could see that these bones were obviously left behind by the monster after it ate people.

Blood spurted out from his severed hands and feet, and a blood pit gradually formed on the ground, and began to flow toward nearby supplies.

He didn't want the good supplies to be contaminated by the blood of this God-knows-what creature. His eyes suddenly became extremely sharp. At the same time, a sharp aura rose from his body, and the surrounding air suddenly paused. The next moment, he was slashed. The saber gave off a faint brilliance.

He held the sword and touched it gently to the blood on the ground. As soon as it touched the blood, a misty white mist rose up in the air. The temperature of the space suddenly dropped, and the blood in contact with the tip of the sword was even covered with a thin layer of mist. The ice was completely frozen in the next moment, and the cold air continued to spread. The crisp sound of ice crystals condensing was as dense as fried beans. The bodies of the living dead were gradually covered with a layer of frost.

His struggling movements became slower and slower, and after a few seconds, he became completely stiff and could no longer move.

Although Luo Yuan had seen the "freezing" effect of the Zhanma Dao many times, he was shocked every time he saw it. This was completely beyond the scope of his understanding, and it felt unreal. At the same time, he is also sincerely afraid of deep blue level mutant creatures.

Luo Yuan was afraid that the living dead was still alive, so he put the tip of the knife against his temple, stabbed him gently, stirred it a few times, and then pulled it out after making sure that the brain was completely destroyed.

Although he killed the monster without any effort, Luo Yuan did not feel relaxed, but more of a psychological pressure, as heavy as a huge boulder. There is no disease in the world that can make a normal person become like this. Even the most primitive creatures will have the most basic reaction of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

Since December last year, everything has become abnormal. Not only the plant organisms are mutating crazily, but now even people have such problems. I don’t know if this monster is an isolated case, and it has spread in Hedong City. .

This kind of living dead seemed weak, but that was only to him. For ordinary people, there was no way to fight back when encountering such an agile creature. What's more, when Luo Yuan came in, This monster has obviously been hungry for a long time, and its strength has been greatly reduced. If it were at its peak, it would probably be even stronger.

In addition, this kind of monster is just like a normal person except for its eyes. It is very confusing. People who encounter it for the first time will not be wary. Once the living dead appear on a large scale in Hedong City, for Hedong City I'm afraid it would be a disaster.

Luo Yuan shook his head and stopped looking for trouble. He was just an ordinary person, and it was useless no matter how much he thought about such problems.

He found a shovel in the storage room, cleared out a few cardboard boxes among the groceries, and started cleaning out the trash.

Fortunately, the blood has been frozen, so it is easier to handle, otherwise I would not know how to handle it!

No matter what, he didn't want his skin to come into contact with the blood of the living dead. Where did the living dead come from? It would be terrible if it was caused by a virus. As for whether it was airborne, Luo Yuan couldn't think of it. Perhaps, if this were the case, the entire Hedong City might have fallen long ago.

After the blood was shoveled away, Luo Yuan put the arms and legs of the living dead into the box.

Then, he took out a large box and was about to pick up the body with a shovel and put it into the box. At this time, Luo Yuan suddenly noticed that the body of the body twitched slightly. If it weren't for the sense of capturing the movement, it could almost be called The extent of the abnormality may not be noticeable at all, but then he noticed that his face began to distort slightly, and his mouth slowly opened wider and wider.

After a while, a white centipede-like worm came out of his mouth.

Its body is slender, about two millimeters wide and ten centimeters long. Both sides of its body are covered with slender and soft little feet, which are densely packed and countless. It seems to be aware of the crisis. As soon as it emerges from its nostrils, it quickly heads towards the corner. He ran, not slowing down at all.

Luo Yuan was just stunned for a moment before he reacted.

He picked up the Zhanma Dao that was placed on the ground and rushed over with a single arrow. The Zhanma Dao flashed and cut it into two pieces.

Under the severe pain, its body became two parts and began to jump and struggle. Compared to its size, it was extremely powerful and could almost bounce to a height of more than one meter. It looked full of vitality. Luo Yuan sneered. , facing the half of the body that had jumped into the air, he swung the knife again, and accurately chopped off its head. It continued to struggle for a while, and finally died.

Luo Yuan used an identification technique on its remains:

"The remains of the puppet insect"

"Purpose: Food"

"Rarity: White."

"Weight: 10 grams"

"Evaluation: This is a rare drug that is highly euphoric. After consumption, it can make people feel invigorated and ecstatic."

"Puppet worm! It seems that the living dead is caused by this kind of creature." He thought to himself.

However, Luo Yuan did not dare to underestimate this creature at all. Although it only had a white level, its strength could not be described in terms of levels, because its strength relied entirely on its host. The stronger the host, the stronger it will be. This time it is parasitizing an ordinary human being. Luo Yuan can easily kill it. If it is a blue-level mutant creature, it will take a lot of time to kill it. It’s time to work hard, maybe there’s nothing you can do about it.

Not to mention, it is also likely to increase the host's strength to a certain extent, which is particularly scary.

The mutated leech he encountered last time, coupled with the puppet bug this time, made Luo Yuan realize that although some creatures were not of high level, they had some weird abilities that could completely capsize him in the gutter.

However, he was still shocked when he saw the last comment. He didn't expect that the pharmacological properties of the puppet bug's body were similar to drugs. He thought about it and collected these things.

In troubled times, people are mentally depressed, and things like drugs are becoming more and more popular. The effects of this kind of puppet bug will definitely be discovered in the future. Maybe one thing like this will be worth a whole blue-level creature in the future.

Luo Yuan found a manual, tore off a page, wrapped up the bugs, and then continued to deal with the bones and corpses here.

Ten minutes later, he walked out of the basement with the cardboard-covered carton in his arms. Under the eyes of Huang Jiahui and Wang Shishi who were trying to avoid him, he opened the door. Luo Yuan saw that the woman was still sitting at the door. Seeing him come out, he was at a loss. He stood up and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

He glanced at her in surprise. Through the misty helmet, he saw her eyes were swollen like peaches. Luo Yuan looked at the already dark sky. He didn't expect her to stay here, but he didn't say anything. Unbelieving that she would still be sitting here after it got completely dark, Luo Yuan passed over this woman and quickly transported the carton to the grass of the community.

When the last carton was moved, Luo Yuan carefully checked and cleared the entire villa, fearing that there would be any weird creatures like puppet bugs again. A total of more than a dozen cockroaches, flies, and a few ants hidden in the furniture were killed. In addition, there were seven fist-sized snails, but these snails were collected by Luo Yuan and identified Finally, these things can be eaten as dishes. If they are cooked well, they will definitely be a delicious dish.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that there was still a basement and a safe that had not been opened, so he returned to the basement again.

"I hope it doesn't contain something like a bankbook!" Luo Yuan thought to himself.

He pulled out his Zhanma Dao and inserted it along the gap in the safe. The strong shell of the safe did not hinder the sharpness of the Zanma Dao at all. He made a few cuts and the safe opened.
