Wow, that fast!
Xiao Jin drew the Shadow Dagger from his waist and slowly moved forward.
With her keen hearing, she could tell that it wasn't some students sneaking off to cool off, but rather the sound of flesh being torn apart and bones being gnawed on...
Xiao Jin's footsteps lightly rubbed against the ground, making a faint sound as she approached.
The commotion seemed to have alerted the lurking presence, and the person who had been keeping their head down suddenly stopped.
Immediately following, accompanied by a low, threatening roar, the figure in front suddenly turned around.
Xiao Jin's eyes darkened rapidly in the dim light, and her heart began to pound involuntarily.
In my line of sight, a distorted human figure was straddling the ground at an eerie angle.
Beneath it was a torn, blood-soaked long dress, with small pieces of flesh scattered around, and a nauseating smell of rust permeated the air.
When it turned to face Xiao Jin, the "person's" face was covered in thick blood, its eyes filled with a thirst for blood. Beneath its skin, veins bulged, faintly gleaming with an eerie black sheen.
"As expected, they are zombies..." Xiao Jin remained silent, but the killing intent in his eyes surged dramatically.
Without the slightest hesitation, she reacted swiftly, the Shadow Dagger in her hand drawing a cold, sharp light in the sunlight, like the Grim Reaper's scythe, cutting through the air as it aimed straight for the zombie's head.
The air seemed to be torn apart at that moment, and the tip of the Shadow Assassin left a silver trail in the air. Before the zombie could let out a second roar, it had already approached like lightning.
With a sharp, decisive 'plop', the Shadow Spike pierced through the zombie's empty eye sockets, penetrating its brain and drawing out a string of filthy brain matter.
A moment later, the zombie's body seemed to have all its strength drained away, and it slammed heavily onto the ground, filling the air with a nauseating stench.
At the same time, the side quest icon on Xiao Jin's player panel flashed, and the number of level 1 zombies changed from 0 to 1.
After killing the zombie, Xiao Jin did not hesitate for a moment, stepped over the filth on the ground and walked inside.
In the dim light, she noticed the young girl on the ground. She was curled up, her face as pale as paper, her eyes wide open, and her face still had wet tear stains.
But between her slender fingers, the joints twisted and turned, making cracking sounds, and the rotting flesh on her arm began to turn black visibly, a sign of mutation.
Xiao Jin slowly squatted down, pulled hard, and the Shadow Thorn was successfully pulled out of the ground with a trace of blood, making a slight metallic clanging sound.
Then, her gaze fell on the girl's twitching fingers, and without hesitation, she severed any possibility of her mutation.
Perhaps because he hadn't fully mutated into a zombie, this head doesn't count as Xiao Jin's.
This is good, as it prevents some players from using real people to farm points.
Standing up, Xiao Jin intended to leave, but at that critical moment, an unusual, oppressive atmosphere seemed to permeate the air.
She had just taken a step when a few unusual drops of water splashed onto her shoulder without warning, carrying a heavy feeling that shouldn't belong to rain.
Xiao Jin paused instinctively, a look of doubt quickly creeping onto her face. She looked up at the gray sky, but her pupils suddenly contracted.
Because the falling rainwater wasn't transparent, but rather as black as ink, it wove together in the air to form a strange net, silently covering the entire world.
If viewed from above, this entire area is completely shrouded in black mist.
Before long, these black raindrops bloomed into dark flowers on the stone brick floor, and black marks meandered down the snow-white walls.
What terrified Xiao Jin even more was that the moment the first drop of black rain touched her skin, an indescribable chill crept into her heart through her pores.
Immediately afterwards, a striking negative status appeared on Xiao Jin's panel: "You have been exposed to an unknown virus, and your infection value has increased."
Furthermore, as more and more black rain came into contact with it, the number jumped and increased at an alarming rate.
Xiao Jin's expression instantly darkened; she suddenly realized that this was no ordinary rain.
Almost instinctively, she reached into her pocket and pulled out a thick umbrella, quickly opening it to shield her head.
That wasn't all. Now that he knew the black rain might be related to a viral infection, Xiao Jin's heart was instantly enveloped by a chilling coldness.
She could clearly deduce that this invisible virus was the culprit that turned humans into zombies.
Before she could dwell on her thoughts for even a moment, Xiao Jin suddenly turned around, took a few steps across the messy corner, and walked outside.
Once outside, she looked up, her gaze sweeping across her surroundings through the dense rain.
The rain showed no signs of abating; on the contrary, it intensified, each drop of black rain like a curse splashed from the abyss, carrying indescribable malice.
Some people were curiously holding their phones, standing under the rain, trying to record this unprecedented and strange sight, unaware that death was quietly approaching.
Others simply wrapped their heads with clothing and ran quickly ahead, leaving most of their bodies exposed.
Rainwater slid down their arms, leaving black streaks like marked prey.
At this hour, you're still in a rush to go to class? Is this what college students are like?!
Xiao Jin saw a boy's phone screen suddenly go black due to rain damage. He looked up blankly at his surroundings, his eyes filled with confusion and fear.
"Quickly, hide! That rain is poisonous!" Xiao Jin shouted out in desperation.
If you say she can mutate, people might think she's mentally ill, but if you say she's poisonous, they'll probably instinctively hide away.
After all, black rain just doesn't look normal...
Sure enough, a few students who already found it strange tugged at their companions, and the group quickly went inside the building to take shelter from the rain.
Others, finding it dirty, hadn't come out yet. Upon hearing Xiao Jin's words, they quickly withdrew their outstretched hands and wiped the black rain from their palms.
"Cough cough cough!" Perhaps he shouted too loudly, Xiao Jin lowered his head and coughed lightly, and actually coughed up some blood.
At the same time, she felt a burning sensation in her respiratory tract, and her internal organs began to cramp.
"Ouch~ That hurts!"
"What's wrong? Don't scare me."
Just after Xiao Jin started showing unusual symptoms, the college students who had been caught in the rain also experienced varying degrees of pain.
No...not just college students, but everyone!
Xiao Jin was stunned for a moment.
Logically speaking, given her current physical condition, how could she be seriously injured by just getting caught in the rain? That's just illogical!
Xiao Jin expressionlessly took out a red pill and put it in her mouth; the pain in her abdomen finally disappeared.
Thank goodness, the recovery items are still working!
I wonder if players will mutate if they are bitten by a zombie, and whether such mutation can be dispelled by using recovery items.
