Gou Fugui stood in the center of the gold shop, looking at the people who had suddenly turned into monsters and occupied almost all the space around him. He smiled bravely but cursed inwardly.
If it weren't for his extraordinary self-control and mental fortitude, he would definitely be one of those people screaming and running around like a madman right now.
Screaming and running around at this time will not help at all.
The first female waitress to scream was pounced on and torn apart by the monster boy who had come back to life behind her just three seconds after she made her sound.
The pretty waitress had her neck bitten by the boy, but she cried out in terror and pushed him away with all her might, clutching her bloodied neck as she ran toward the door.
Gou Fugui, holding his breath in place, watched her run with all her might, but her movements became slower and slower.
In the end, she couldn't escape the golden gate that represented hope. She lowered her hand from her neck, turned around, and became one of the biting monsters.
The whole process took less than a minute.
In that one minute, in addition to the female waitress, more than a dozen other screaming employees or customers in the store were attacked and bitten.
Without exception, these originally normal people all became monsters after being bitten.
Gou Fugui remained standing still, not because he was too terrified to move, but because he had instinctively spotted a glimmer of hope when the sudden change occurred—
When the waitress in the shop couldn't help but scream, almost all the mutants in the shop were drawn to her scream.
This shows that these people who suddenly underwent mutations have a high sensitivity to sound.
So he quickly shut his mouth to prevent himself from making a sound, and subconsciously held his breath.
Then he noticed that the wavy-haired mature woman who had suddenly locked her gaze on him was now looking bewildered, as if she had lost her target.
And he took a step toward the chaotic, screaming crowd.
What does this tell us?!
The wealthy beauty exclaimed in her heart: This fucking means that playing dead can help you survive until the very end!
So the wealthy beauty held her breath even harder, standing stiffly in place, hoping that this big-haired lady would leave quickly and leave the world with a last bit of love.
However, the lucky buff of holding one's breath lasted for less than a minute before it was exposed. The wavy-haired mature woman, who hadn't even taken two steps to the side, suddenly seemed to have discovered something and roared as she pounced on Gou Fugui!
"Damn it!"
Gou Fugui finally stopped holding his breath and turned to run to the corner. Only then did he realize that there was another person beside him, panting with fear, nimbly maneuvering among the attacking mutants. It was Tuo, the second most handsome man after him.
Huh? This guy's still alive. He's got the makings of a protagonist; could he be the core of the world?
The answer is no. Because he was familiar with the shop's layout, this handsome man darted ahead of the wealthy beauty to the corner storage room. Before Gou Fugui could say anything, he stepped into the storage room and slammed the door shut in front of the wealthy beauty without any hesitation.
Gou Fugui, who was being chased by four crazed mutants: "..."
That's so damn good.
Fuck you!
Believe it or not, with my Whale Wealth bloodline boost, I can smash this door with a single slap!
But Gou Fugui ultimately held back, because even though Jing Fugui was strong, he couldn't withstand the mutated virus!
In a split second, Gou Fugui considered whether he should transform into a honey badger and escape from below.
But out of the corner of his eye, he saw a husky outside the glass wall, frolicking and jumping around as it was chased and cornered by the mutants. No matter how skillfully the husky moved, it still ended up getting bitten several times, and then...
It transformed into a mutated creature that moves with flair and bites any living thing it sees.
It seems that without a brain, one cannot be immune to viral mutations.
Even if it transforms into a honey badger, as long as it's alive, it will be chased and attacked by this group of crazed mutants.
At this moment, the four mutants chasing Gou Fugui had pounced on him from behind, preparing for a massive zombie transformation!
At that moment, Gou Fugui slammed his left wrist hard. The adorable creature handbook flashing with golden and pale blue light in his mind flipped through the pages like a whirlwind, finally settling on a little lamb with cute horns on its head, black and white fur, and its four legs in the air—
[The Fainting Sheep: Playing dead is not only glorious but also effective!]
Traits/Skills:
1. There is no feigned death that a sheep cannot fake, and no porcelain that a sheep cannot touch!
Complete transformation: Due to congenital myotonia, she will stiffen her limbs and suddenly fall to the ground when startled. She faints an average of 25 times a week.
Bloodline Boost (Basic): Allows you to feign death more effectively, manifesting as stiff limbs, almost no breathing, and a stopped heartbeat for at least five minutes. Most impatient and careless enemies won't realize you're still alive. But if you encounter a persistent and meticulous individual... I hope you die a quick and painstaking death.
2. Hearing the sounds of terror approaching.
Complete Transformation: Why are sheep so easily startled? It's because sheep listen too closely and too intently! Sheep have highly developed hearing, making them more susceptible to fright.
Bloodline Boost (Basic): Hearing boost 20%. You are more likely to hear and notice even the slightest rustling of the wind. However, it's best to stay away from places or objects that make loud noises, as you might accidentally scare yourself unconscious.
3. A delicious one.
Complete Transformation: Sheep is a delicious sheep, originally meant for food before becoming a pet for scamming people. If you eat Sheep, your strength will be restored, your body will feel warm, and then... you'll want another one.
Bloodline Enhancement (Basic): It's impossible to cut off your own leg meat, and it's also impossible to turn it into roasted mutton or hot pot mutton. At most, you can bleed a little.
Blood can slightly restore the user's strength; the initial effect is that drinking 10 ml of sheep's blood is equivalent to resting on the spot for 10 minutes. Use this skill with caution, as the bloodletting process may cause sudden death from fright.
4. Invalid/Negative Characteristics.
What could be worse than fainting at any moment? Just making sure you don't suddenly faint at a crucial moment is already a victory for Sheep!
Delicate sheep need care and are better suited as pets than as bait. But if you insist on being a brave sheep, then... survive to the end!
Remember! Playing dead is not only glorious, but also effective!!
The moment Gou Fugui was activated, he immediately received a bloodline boost and used the first skill of feigning death.
So, just a second before the four mutants' fingers touched the unconscious Yang Fugui, Yang Fugui suddenly stiffened and fell straight to the ground.
The fallen Yangyang Fugui was pale, barely breathing, and his heart had stopped beating. From any angle, this was no longer the living, breathing beauty Fugui, but a dead corpse.
Or the kind where the body is stiff and the person has been dead for several days.
The four mutants, who were prepared to turn into zombies, stood around the "dead" Yang Yang Fugui, looking at the stiff corpse with blank expressions.
"Huh?"
No, what's going on?
How could someone who was just alive suddenly become lifeless?
Three of the four mutants who had come after them turned away immediately upon seeing Yangyang Fugui lying on the ground, heading towards other living people or commotion inside the shop.
The remaining elderly mutant seemed somewhat unwilling to give up, circling around the feigning-death Fugui a couple of times, twitching his nose and tilting his ears, but ultimately appeared to have gained nothing, and left with a few glances back.
In the next five minutes, at least seven more mutants wandered past this corner, but to Yang Fugui's great satisfaction, none of them noticed him pretending to be dead!
Five minutes was enough time for the dozen or so original mutants who had drunk the Fifth Generation Golden Liquid to tear apart and infect the entire shop. Apart from a few quick-witted, agile, and ruthless shop employees who used others as shields to hide in the shop's storage room, restroom, and tea room, the remaining fifty or sixty people in the shop were all infected and mutated.
Once there were no more living people to bite in the shop, most of the mutants followed their instinct to spread the infection by biting and went outside.
At this moment, the panicked square finally reacted, and a piercing alarm sounded throughout the entire square!
Along with this, the mall's public address system also began to play:
[A horrific terrorist attack has occurred at the Golden Liquid store in Times Square! It appears a person suffering from a bloodthirsty disorder is indiscriminately attacking all passersby! All customers who hear this announcement are urged to seek shelter in the nearest enclosed room or indoors! If you see someone who has been bitten, do not approach them! Do not approach them!!]
Yang Fugui, who was still lying on the ground pretending to be dead, sighed inwardly as he listened to the radio.
The square reacted quite quickly, but unfortunately they still didn't realize the seriousness of the situation.
Those weren't sufferers of the Frenzied Bloodlust Syndrome at all; they were virus-infected individuals, as anyone who's seen a post-apocalyptic zombie movie would immediately recognize.
Once infected, they become like living dead, devoid of mind and soul, only knowing how to attack, bite, and spread the virus.
One infected person can cause an uncontrollable infectious disaster, and right now there are hundreds or thousands... even tens of thousands of infected people in the square in a short period of time.
Even with the government's rocket-like speed and reckless lockdown of the entire city, it was impossible to prevent this apocalyptic disaster, because—
The fifth-generation all-in-one liquid gold is now available! VIP sales will begin simultaneously in 3,888 exclusive stores across 20 major cities worldwide on May 5th!
The shortcut to becoming an ageless goddess and reaching the pinnacle of life is beckoning you!! What are you waiting for?!
Fu Gui, feigning death, lay on the ground, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
You see, there are never any shortcuts in this world.
Because you never know when the shortcut you're taking will become a path to death and suffering.
At this moment, each of these 3,888 "shortcuts to life" scattered around the world is the origin of disaster.
At this moment, Yang Fugui's second passive talent skill is activated.
He heard the screams, curses, and cries of countless people, which continued unabated despite the alarms and announcements, both near and far.
He couldn't help but reach out and press his pounding heart. "Stop beating! Stop beating! If you keep beating like this, you'll faint!"
It was at this moment that the handsome man who had hidden in the storage room a step earlier than Gou Fugui cautiously opened the door of the storage room a crack.
Then he saw Gou Fugui, whom he thought was surely dead and had definitely become a living dead.
Their eyes met, and the wealthy beauty smirked at this selfish fellow who thought it better to sacrifice himself than his friend.
The handsome man was so frightened that he slammed the door shut again, but he opened it again a minute later and came out.
He couldn't stay trapped in this cramped and flimsy storage room! Now that almost everyone in the store who had suddenly turned into monsters had left, he had to hurry home! Or get somewhere safe!!
The handsome man wrapped himself up tightly, bent over, and was about to walk out the door.
However, after taking only three steps and passing a counter, he suddenly discovered that a mutated monster had somehow crawled under the counter!
In the instant that the handsome man and the mutated monster locked eyes, the terrified man managed to maintain a sliver of thought: at this close range, there was no escape... What to do, what to do, what to do?!
He doesn't want to die! He doesn't want to die!
Oh right, play dead!!
The long-haired guy outside the storage room survived by faking his death!
He survived being chased by four mutated monsters, lying on the ground until now! So he can definitely survive too!
After all, the only thing that has discovered him so far is a mutated monster that doesn't seem very smart!
So the handsome guy suddenly held his breath and fell straight backward! To make his act of death look more convincing, he even convulsed a couple of times like he had an epileptic seizure, and then stiffened his limbs to look inhuman!
That way, he'll definitely get away with it! He's not breathing! His limbs are stiff! He's a dead man now! He...
As the handsome man prayed fervently that he would escape this calamity, he felt a sharp pain in his neck.
He stared wide-eyed in disbelief, then turned and glared at Gou Fugui, who lay on the other side, straining to muster his last strength to roar:
"Why?!"
Yangyang Fugui, lying on the ground, looked at him with a complicated expression.
How can I put it? Because you're not a lucky sheep, aren't you born to do this?
At once.
Have a good trip.
In your next life, don't pretend to be dead if you're not a professional.
