Chapter 48 Mutation



◎Run, run quickly◎

There were bloody fingerprints on the note, he must have been injured.

The strokes of the characters are crooked, as if it took a lot of effort to control the hand that wrote.

Lao Yang read through the words at a glance, but it was as if his mind was emptied by something. He read it again and again, and his heart seemed to be suddenly pressed down by something, making it hard for him to breathe.

[I was bitten, if I mutate, kill me]

As if after careful consideration, Zhenjiang crossed out the above line of words and wrote a new paragraph.

[Don't open the door casually. If something goes wrong, seal the door.]

The piece of paper was crumpled, and it seemed that it took a lot of effort to write these few words.

But before he could push the note completely out of the crack in the door, something unexpected happened and put an end to his plan.

Zhuo Chengsheng looked at Lao Yang and met his red eyes. He knew very well what the person next to him was thinking.

Knock on the door?

Or not knock?

Out of an instinctive desire to escape and a longing for hope, Lao Yang curled up his fingers and hesitated to perform this simple action.

Lin Munan swallowed his saliva, took a step forward, raised his hand and slapped the door panel hard.

A strong echo echoed in the corridor.

Lin Munan held his breath and clapped three times quickly, then quickly withdrew his hand and listened quietly to the reaction from inside the door.

rustle……

Bang!

Bang bang!

The door vibrated as it was hit, and something responded from inside.

The moment he heard the sound, Lao Yang's eyes became moist. He clenched the weapon in his hand and said through gritted teeth, "Give me the key."

Xin Jiamo's face was already covered in tears. He sobbed as he found the key and said, "Brother Yang, open the door. Let's...let's do it."

"No, just open the door and I'll do it."

Zhuo Chengsheng stopped Lao Yang and said, "Let me do it. I don't have any feelings for him, so it will be easier for me to do it."

Lao Yang knew their good intentions.

If you have to kill a friend with your own hands, the indelible pain will be deeply rooted in your heart the moment you do it.

It's like the spreading roots of a gloomy old tree, which can never be cleaned up.

"Rong Xiao..." Long Qingyu, who was standing at the back, called her over and whispered something in her ear.

Shangguan Yu noticed their little movements, took a deep breath, curled his lips, put his hands in his pockets and took several steps back.

With trembling hands, Xin Jiamo put the key into the keyhole and turned it gently. The door clicked and opened a little.

The thing inside the door seemed to be awakened and went crazy, rushing towards the door quickly and almost closing it again.

Old Yang was quick and swift. He stuck the weapon into the gap of the door and kicked it open with gritted teeth.

The black shadow moving in the room staggered and bumped into the wall, and the next second it pounced towards the living people again.

"It's Zhenjiang." Old Yang said with a choked voice, slowly raising the weapon in his hand.

The voice rolling in his throat was no longer the voice of a living person. Under the light of the flashlight held by Lin Munan, Zhenjiang had completely lost his human form.

The excitement and excitement I felt when I saw them all came from my desire for flesh and blood.

Lao Yang originally planned to lead him to the door and deal with him later, but after the mutation, Zhenjiang just struggled to the door and his body could not move forward anymore, as if something was restricting his movements.

Looking inside in the dim light, Tian Yichuan frowned: "He tied his feet inside."

Perhaps anticipating someone opening the door, Zhenjiang had made all necessary protective preparations before he lost his mind.

Even if someone really wanted to open the door and come in to confirm, he didn't want to hurt these colleagues and friends who had fought side by side with him.

The people outside the door looked silently at the mutants on the other side of the door. It was quiet outside the door, but inside the door there were crazy and terrifying roars that were inhuman.

But even under the strong trend of fear, Lao Yang's wrists were shaking, and it was difficult for him to raise the weapon to do the cleaning work he had already done.

"Rong Xiao." Long Qingyu suddenly spoke.

Rong Xiao nodded, and moved quickly, almost in the blink of an eye, he rushed to the door and pushed it open a little further.

Bang--

A gunshot rang out, and the body in the house fell heavily to the ground.

Zhenjiang fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, staring at the rows of feet outside the door, blood flowing from his mouth.

Old Yang's neck remained motionless as he stared at the body lying on the ground. Tears streamed from the corners of his eyes, and his whole body was heaving with excitement.

"What...what should I do?...What...what should I do next..." Xin Jiamo cried uncontrollably, sobbing and asking incoherently.

One minute passed, then two minutes passed, and with no one urging him, Old Yang finally calmed down and nodded to Long Qingyu in a hoarse voice: "Thank you, really... Thank you."

"It's nothing. Let's check other people's rooms first. If we are sure that the danger has been eliminated, we can carry them downstairs for cremation." Long Qingyu knew that they were all in a heavy mood, so he gave some advice as the situation took its course.

Lao Yang didn't object, nodded, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and opened his bloodshot eyes wide: "Okay, continue!"

The figure lying at the door revealed a sense of despair and helplessness. The face had become gray and dull due to mutation, the hair was falling out in clumps, and the hands and feet were abnormally shrunken, hidden in the sleeves and trouser legs.

Just looking at it is shocking.

After everyone had left, Rong Xiao inched his way to the door, quickly turned the body over, and pushed it inside, muttering, "Just stay here. We'll come find you after we finish inspecting the rest of the place."

As she spoke, she turned the body over to lie on its back and placed his clawed hands on her chest.

"You should get some sleep first. We have to continue working. Bye."

After Rong Xiao finished all this and got up, she found that all the people who had walked in front of her had returned and were looking at her with an expression that she could not describe.

"What...what happened?" Rong Xiao asked cautiously with a puzzled look on his face.

Even she, who had never been able to read the air, felt that the atmosphere was not right.

"It's okay, girl," Tian Yichuan smiled and broke the silence, throwing her a tissue to wipe her hands, "Let's go, there are still people we haven't found."

Xin Jiamo wiped away his tears with difficulty, muttering to himself, "Miss Rong is simply an angel. I saw a living angel, woooo."

"She is still a super powerful angel. As long as she is around, I feel like there is nothing to be afraid of. I feel especially safe." Lin Munan whispered in agreement.

As if he had met a kindred spirit, Xin Jiamo nodded vigorously: "Yes, she also saved me."

"What a coincidence! She saved me too."

Lao Yang, Long Qingyu and Zhuo Chengsheng took the lead and knocked on the door in front.

Every closed door will be opened and rechecked after knocking to confirm.

After discovering Zhenjiang, they didn't find any other hiding people until they went around the corridor at the other end, when the situation seemed a little different.

There was obviously more blood in this corridor than anywhere else. There were even footprints and small footprints left by mutant dogs on the ground. It's just that the lighting was poor before, and they were difficult to detect among the various messy bloodstains.

"Be careful that the blood doesn't spread to the room under the door." Shangguan Yu walked behind with his hands behind his back, his tone calm and composed.

Xin Jiamo and Lin Munan glanced at him secretly, feeling a sense of horror for no reason.

Obviously, this boy was much younger than them and had a childish look, but those eyes didn't seem to belong to him. They were calm and indifferent, as if he was not involved in anything. Whether he was judging or observing, he always maintained absolute composure and could spot details that they had accidentally overlooked.

They dared not imagine how terrifying this kind of person was...

"Look, there's something wrong under this door." Tian Yichuang squatted on the ground and shone a flashlight into the cracks in the adjacent doors, and sure enough, he found something unusual.

Shangguan Yu moved closer and found a dog's footprint mixed in with the bloodstains under the door.

“Will it be…”

"Very likely."

Tian Yichuang stood up, cleared his throat, and asked Xin Jiamo for the key to open the door.

Everyone understood Shangguan Yu and Tian Yichuang's guesses.

The muzzles of the guns were pointed at the door, and all the weapons were raised to the ready position, ready to deal with any unusual situation at any time.

I knocked on the door, but it was very quiet inside.

Tian Yichuang and the others beside him exchanged glances and continued to open the door.

Turning the key, the slight clicking sound was infinitely amplified, and Ling Xi immediately pointed the flashlight at the crack in the door.

"Don't... don't come in!!" Until the light appeared, screams were heard from inside the door.

Tian Yichuang paused, found nothing unusual, and kicked the door open.

In the not-so-big office, there was a mess of things scattered around, and a sofa was lying on the floor with a person sitting on it.

The man held his head and kept screaming, "Get out, everyone get out, I...I might have been bitten."

"It's Jiang Ji!" Xin Jiamo whispered.

The previous dormitory was attacked when something happened in Jiang Ji's dormitory. The door was open, there was no one inside, and there was a lot of blood inside.

Jiang Ji held his head and trembled all over. Others could only see his messy head: "Go away, go away quickly, I don't want to hurt you, I don't want to be a monster."

"Do you think you can become a zombie just because you want to?" Shangguan Yu walked ahead for once, pushing open the door and coming directly in front of him. "So, do you think you've mutated?"

"Soon...it should be soon, right?" Jiang Ji replied tremblingly.

"Did you see clearly what was attacking you?"

"It's a dog! No, it's a mutated dog!" Jiang Ji suddenly became excited and patted the sofa where he was sitting. "I caught it. It's trapped underneath. If I mutated, I might not be able to trap it. Run, run quickly."

"Rong Xiao..." Shangguan Yu suddenly called out to someone.

Rong Xiao thought he had made some interesting discoveries, and just as he ran in, he heard Shangguan Yu say, "We need to lift the sofa and kill that mutant dog."

"Oh, okay!" After agreeing crisply, Rong Xiao began to move his wrists and neck.

"What?! How dare you!" Jiang Ji was frightened by this plan. He raised his head and his face covered with cold sweat was reflected by the flashlight.

Shangguan Huai stared at him for a while and asked, "Were you bitten?"

"I... maybe that's the case," Jiang Ji answered uncertainly. "The situation was very chaotic at the time. I was afraid it would get out and attack others, so I covered it with my thick coat and dragged it all the way here."

Jiang Ji swallowed hard and his voice became tearful.

"I originally wanted to lock it up here, but, but I found that I had wounds on my body, wuwuwu."

"Are you sure it scratched or bit you?"

"It's too confusing. I can't remember. I really can't remember, but... it should be."

Shangguan Yu frowned and kicked the tip of Jiang Ji's shoe: "You, get out, don't block us from doing our work."
