The Last Gentleman

Chapter 5: Face it

Views:

Since I can remember,

Yi Chen had never experienced such clear visual images.

It feels like my eyes are an ultra-high-pixel imager, and I can see every detail of the cemetery.

Even if you turn the kerosene lamp down to its lowest brightness, you can still see the general situation ten meters away.

Sensory Enhancement

When I first touched upon this 'superhuman' ability,

Yi Chen's brain became extremely excited, even stimulating his body to secrete a certain amount of adrenaline, which further enhanced his concentration.

Confidence surges,

Dare to fight the zombies.

Before taking action, he had one last question.

Try to communicate with the meat ball through consciousness,

"How can I completely kill the zombies wandering around Cemetery No. 4? Should I behead them?"

"It seems you don't understand at all.

Your understanding of this world is still at the most superficial level... Even if you cut off the head and remove the heart of this kind of thing, it can still survive normally. At most, it will only affect their body activities.

The fundamental reason why he became like this was that he was sick.

Want to kill this zombie,

You must find and destroy the pathogen in his body, so that he will return to his proper corpse state.

This guy is still in the early stages of infection.

The characteristics of the pathogen should be very obvious.

If you look closely at any bulges, swellings, or particularly dark areas on his body, they most likely correspond to pathogens under the skin.

The "silver-plated hand axe" in your hand has a very good killing effect on pathogens.

As for what this guy is capable of, I don’t know... Come on, don’t die. 』

"knew."

The battle begins.

Yi Chen stuck close to the tombstone, quietly poked out half of his face and scanned the situation nearby.

A slowly moving black shadow appeared at the edge of my vision.

Focus your vision,

A staggering zombie came into view.

The speed is very slow.

But the plant roots swaying on the back, like octopus tentacles, are enough to make one's scalp tingle.

It seems that once pierced, these roots will drain the target's body fluids.

Yi Chen took a deep breath and analyzed the situation in his mind.

“There’s no time or tools to set traps or anything like that.

The site was also limited to Cemetery No. 4, making it difficult to conduct long-distance roundabout operations.

A head-on battle is inevitable, but... before that, I have to identify the true location of the pathogen."

Refocus your vision.

Every part of the zombie's body, including the roots growing on its back, can be seen clearly.

There are four obvious bulges on its body surface, located on the neck, right shoulder, waist and abdomen, and right thigh.

"Please confirm..."

Yi Chen picked up some stones nearby that were of the right size and could just be held in his hands.

In childhood,

Yi Chen always wins the dodgeball game in the orphanage. He can accurately hit every playmate who tries to dodge him. Even children who are a few years older than him are no match for him.

Currently, with the enhancement of field of vision, throwing accuracy is further improved.

Whoosh~

Four stones are shot at the target at one-second intervals.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

Three of them hit accurately.

The corresponding skin bulges were broken and even some disgusting liquid flowed out.

And when the stone shot towards his waist was about to hit him... bang!

Just like the most basic biological irritability,

The roots on the zombie's back swung out suddenly, hitting the surface of the flying stone with precision.

Like a home run, the hit stone flew directly out of Cemetery No. 4.

Not only that,

Several more roots followed closely behind.

They wrap around and stick to the bulge at the waist, forming a unique protective structure.

According to the direction from which the stone came,

The zombie's head suddenly turned 135 degrees, and its special eyes filled with mushroom caps stared at the arched stone tablet on the high slope.

The feeling of oppression came.

Although Yi Chen got the answer he wanted, cold sweat kept dripping down his face.

"At least my method has achieved the effect. The bulge in the waist and abdomen must correspond to the pathogen. It also shows that this ball of flesh did not deceive me.

However, this guy's 'irritability' is too outrageous.

A stone shot out suddenly and without any warning like this could be accurately deflected... and a protective layer was quickly built around the waist.

call!

To kill this zombie, you must cut off all the roots on its back.

Otherwise, any attack on the vital points will be ineffective. 』

Pah~ Pah~

The sound of footsteps stepping on the soil interrupted my thoughts.

The zombies are approaching.

Pause in front of the arched stone monument... Swish! Swish!

Suddenly,

Two strong roots were raised in the air, crossing left and right, and pulled out violently.

Bang!

The solid large stone tablet was actually pulled apart directly.

Destroyed together,

There was also a dark grey coat that still smelled of human life, and a metal badge had also fallen to the ground, with the name William Connorson engraved on it.

That's all.

Only the stone tablet and the coat were shattered; the young man hiding behind them had already shed his shell in advance.

Just when the zombie was confused and had no time to retract its roots,

There was a noise coming from the grave corresponding to the broken stone tablet.

The dark shadow lurking behind it suddenly jumped out,

The silver light flashing in my hand is extra dazzling,

Buzz!

The silver light drew a perfect arc in the air.

It just happened to fall at the "intersection point" of the two roots... Shua~ dark green rotten juice splashed out, and the two roots were completely cut off.

Not only that,

Due to being cut by the silver-plated material, thick black smoke came out from the broken roots and they could not heal.

"ah!!"

A corrosive roar came from the zombie's dry and rotten vocalizations, as if its vital lifeline had been cut off.

Seeing this scene,

Yi Chen drew back his hand axe, got into position, and whispered excitedly, "There are eight left!"

The screaming hasn't ended yet.

Those roots swaying on the zombie's back seemed to have self-awareness and had locked onto the 'attacker'.

They turned into sharp spears and pierced through.

Field of view capture

At this moment, Yi Chen and Rouqiu's eyes were as big as copper bells, focused on what was in front of them.

With a straight piercing attack like this, the path of each root can be seen clearly.

When the distance is less than one meter,

A perfect sideways roll, avoiding all the piercing roots.

Not only that,

At the same moment of making a perfect dodge,

Yi Chen actually half-knelt and swung diagonally.

The root closest to him was cut off in mid-air.

The rancid juice splashed on his face, but it couldn't hide his smile. He was still counting silently:

"There are 7 left!"

At this moment,

The black ball of flesh rooted on Yi Chen's shoulder couldn't help but widen its eyes, feeling incredible at the performance of this "low-level laborer".

"My vision was right... This guy is completely different from those ordinary 'pigs'.

In a battle as dangerous as this one, where a single mistake could result in death, he adapted so quickly and even enjoyed it to some extent.

Come on, young humans!

If I kill the abscess with such a weak body, it will definitely attract the attention of "the higher-ups"... I may be able to use this opportunity to get a chance to go outside. 』

Just when Meatball was immersed in the fantasy of freedom,

Ah! Another scream was heard.

only,

This time, the individual who screamed was the young man it had high hopes for.

Roots that came from nowhere actually emerged from the ground.

The shoes that the feet were stepping on, as well as the entire soles of the feet, were pierced through.

The roots that run through the instep even produce flowers, which suck the blood between the soles of the feet and become dyed bright red.

now,

The zombie not far away was pressing its palms to the ground.

Obviously,

It was he who controlled the plants underground, carrying out such strange attacks and binding the targets.

Kakaka~

There is a sound when the cervical vertebra is twisted.

The zombie turned its head and stared at the completely immobilized 'prey'.

He's going to be serious~

Instead of walking slowly,

It uses the remaining roots on its back as legs and attacks as fast as a spider.

Its mouth is fully opened.

A large amount of mycelium is expelled from the mouth.

As if laughing at the impending capture of its prey,

It also seemed as if it wanted to have a 'deep kiss' with Yi Chen, connecting the mycelium to the brain through the mouth and nasal cavity, draining the target.
