They only looked at each other for a moment before the monster suddenly pounced on him!
Shi Yu rolled over the monster's head, and there was a loud bang behind where he was originally standing.
The tree trunk, which was as thick as two arms could embrace, was cut off by this fist. Most of it was cut off. The remaining part could not support the weight of the whole body and fell down precariously, hitting the glass of the supermarket next to it, and the bright and cold fragments flew everywhere.
As soon as Shi Yu's feet touched the ground, the monster in front of him turned around. The creature, which had evolved after being nourished by hundreds of corpses, had increased its speed to the extreme, and it was right in front of him in the blink of an eye.
He had no time to dodge, and half of his body was knocked back several meters by the monster's residual force. The salty and fishy taste that suddenly surged up in his throat filled his entire breath, which he swallowed with difficulty.
The monster didn't stop for even a second, and quickly chased him into the supermarket, but the prey disappeared from its sight after entering the supermarket. It couldn't see anyone in its field of vision, and ran madly towards the fresh smell of blood in the air. When it encountered a roadblock, it just punched it, and it didn't know how many stone pillars supporting the roof beams it broke along the way.
There was a teeth-grinding creaking sound from the ceiling.
The monster ran to the stairs and suddenly turned around. The figure of the disappeared prey appeared again under the door of the supermarket behind him.
Shi Yu didn't look at the monster that turned around again. He took out a transparent hexahedron from his bracelet. It was like a delicate and small glass cage, filled with half a box of pure white powder. He raised the glass box and threw it towards the ceiling of the supermarket without hesitation.
An extremely slight "crack" sound was carried away by the cold wind, and the hexahedral glass box shattered in the blink of an eye. The white powder inside was no longer blocked, and as it scattered, it scratched the air and ignited tongues of fire that shot up into the sky!
The blue-green flames were like will-o'-the-wisp fires under the night sky, instantly burning through the cramped interior of the building. The supermarket was engulfed in flames, like a haunted house in a magical world surrounded by night and thick fog, and its shadows were hazy in the light.
Then it collapsed with a loud bang.
Shi Yu retreated to the other side of the street, reached into the player's bracelet, and took out the long sword that bore the title of his natal weapon for the second time. He pointed the blade at his palm and quickly slashed it.
【This this? ? 】
【What’s going on? ? 】
【What's the logic of suddenly cutting yourself? 】
The skin on the palm of the hand was torn and rolled up outwards.
The cut directly severed the artery, and blood gushed out, dripping into a river that dyed a patch of snow red in just a moment.
The ruins were still burning, sparks exploded, broken building materials were suddenly pushed away from the inside, and then a figure walked out.
All the hair on the monster's skin was burnt off, and its exposed torso was charred black, perhaps by fire or ash. However, its movements did not even feel mechanical, and it was as flexible and light as before.
【Nima.】
[Although I expected this, I still want to say fuck. ]
[Is this defensive ability really something a normal biological body can possess? ? ]
[Not afraid of fire and water, invulnerable to swords and guns... Jiang San would never have thought that his casual assumption at the time would actually come true.]
[I only care about what Miss Shi is going to do now! Ahh ...
The monster pounced again.
Shi Yu grasped the hilt of the sword with his backhand, raised his wrist high, and suddenly threw the sword out.
The unique cold light of metal flashed across the sky, and the sword cut a nearly three-foot scratch in front of the monster. Pus and blood oozed out of its skin, and it was knocked away by the monster's palm.
The monster didn't even stop moving, it roared and screamed, and the mountain-like wall of flesh smashed down heavily!
Shi Yu also clenched his hand at that moment, and a huge cut was made on the palm of his hand, which was squeezed and blood gushed out instantly.
At the moment when both sides stopped due to inertia during the collision, he splashed all the blood on his hands onto the monster's chest that was oozing with pus and blood.
“Bang!!”
The two sides suddenly separated, one of them was running forward and was blocked for a moment, while the other was sent flying backwards due to the huge impact force.
Shi Yu couldn't help coughing, leaving long trails on the snow. There was blood on his lips, the snow on his eyelashes melted, and his face was pale and weak to the extreme.
The monster's running speed began to slow down, slower and slower, until it finally got close to the front.
If this were put into a film or TV show, it would definitely be shot as a close-up.
The shadow of the tall body covered the sky, and the hand wrapped in the smell of blood and burnt protein grabbed the human skull on the ground fiercely, only half an inch away from touching the forehead -
Then it suddenly stopped.
The next second, the monster fell backwards without any warning, and when it hit the road, it seemed that even the ground was shaking.
The cold air suddenly compressed, and the snow on the ground was blown into a pit by the wind. The monster fell into the pit, and its body tissue began to erode at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It's like the unstoppable decay of a corpse after death.
【？ ？ ？】
[What is going on here again…]
[You look really embarrassed with your confused face. ]
[Why bother worrying so much, as long as the teacher is fine. ]
[Wait, is that person coming from behind...?]
Shi Yu supported himself on the ground and managed to stand up, but a shadow covered his feet.
He turned around, and what came into view was a yellow and black pattern.
I don't know if the huge tiger noticed the disordered breathing of the person in front of it, and it didn't even roar to attract attention. It only stretched out its tail and shook its fur after the other person turned around.
He left the dead monster and walked back the way he came, but he had no strength left and fell uncontrollably.
The tiger growled reflexively, stretching its body as far as it could to catch him below, the soft warmth of the feline's fur wrapping around him.
Shi Yu closed his eyes slightly, looked up at the tiger in front of him, and asked in a low voice: "Why are you here?"
This was clearly the leader beast that he had locked in the cage of a military armored vehicle when he entered the safe zone a few days ago.
The tiger purred very softly.
He wanted to ask again, but another man ran over from the road where the tiger came. When he stopped, his voice trembled: "Sir."
"Ling Zhao."
Ling Zhao responded.
"Help me up."
The infected monster had been hit too hard in the previous blow. The combined strength of its evolved body and its speed when it rushed over was even more severe than an out-of-control vehicle in a car accident.
Ling Zhao did not dare to disobey. His movements were very stiff. The moment he touched his wrist pulse, he understood his injury. His palms were sweating as he supported him: "Sir."
He paused and said, "Do you want me to take you back to the safe zone?"
Shi Yu hummed very lightly.
The wound on his hand couldn't stop bleeding. Ling Zhao was worried that he was losing too much blood. Without any tools at hand, he could only temporarily tear off a few centimeters wide piece of cloth from his clothes and tie it tightly around his wrist to stop the bleeding. When he was sent back to the safe area, he was already in a semi-coma.
There was no shortage of emergency doctors in the safe zone, so Ling Zhao handed him over to the professionals. Just then, when the wind blew, he realized that his back was all wet.
The tiger was originally released to find people. Cats have always had a keen sense of smell, and tigers are thousands of times better than humans in this regard. Naturally, it followed all the way here and was jumping around wildly, trying to attract attention.
Ling Zhao rubbed its back twice and said, "Behave yourself."
The tiger lay on the ground, its striped tail swaying back and forth.
When Shi Yu woke up, it was already evening, and only Ling Zhao was sitting next to him.
...Oh, and there's that half-man-tall tiger.
No one knew what means Ling Zhao had used to actually make the guards in the safe zone allow such a ferocious beast to exist in the infirmary without any shackles or shackles on it.
"grown ups."
Shi Yu sat up against the headboard. His right hand, which was injured by himself, was wrapped with seven or eight rounds of gauze. The smell of hemostatic drugs seeped through the bandages. His lips were extremely pale, and he tried his best to suppress his discomfort: "You let it out?"
"I didn't find you in your room, and I was worried that something might happen." Ling Zhao paused, and added as if he was afraid of being scolded, "I asked the guards, and they agreed that there was no violation of discipline."
Shi Yu did not scold him, but thanked him: "Thank you."
Ling Zhao twisted the sheets uncomfortably, and finally found a new topic before the atmosphere turned awkward: "Were you...was it Yu Zhiyi who asked you to leave?"
Shi Yu nodded.
"Because he threatened you with being infected with the virus?"
"Um."
"Is the reason you are asked to leave here to silence me?"
Shi Yu nodded.
Ling Zhao forgot to control his voice for a moment: "You are obviously not infected, why are you going out?"
【What? 】
What does "not infected" mean?
Ling Zhao was swept by his gaze, and he felt like a punctured balloon, his momentum instantly weakened: "You can obviously ignore him."
There is no need to get yourself hurt.
Shi Yu: "If I don't go there, there's a high probability that no one in this city will be able to fight against the infected person he raised."
Ling Zhao took three seconds to react: "...Did he really raise a zombie king?"
"Um."
"Then what are you going to do..."
"The virus in my body is different from his. It's not TG7788, but immunodeficiency virus."
Shi Yu grabbed the striped tail that was swaying beside the bed and said: "The reason why the infected people outside have become infected is because the immunodeficiency virus and immune system reaction in their bodies have generated a new virus."
He whispered, "The infected are disease-free, have a strong immune system, and a rapid metabolism. The virus in my body happens to destroy the human immune system."
[Oh my god.]
[So the zombie suddenly fell down because it was stained with Master Meiren’s blood? ? ]
What is this called? Fighting poison with poison?
[Fuck, this is outrageous.]
[In fact, there is still a way of thinking. Yu Zhiyi was infected after being bitten and relied on props to avoid mutation. But Shi Meiren has been a completely immunocompromised patient since the beginning of the game. Why didn't he mutate? ]
[And isn’t the virus vaccine essentially a product of attenuated pathogens? Isn’t the virus in Shi Meiren’s body the precursor of the new virus mutation? Aren’t the virus in his body and the new virus the same, one strong and one weak? ]
"I've been wondering what the mission means by 'degradation'," Shi Yu let go of his hand and looked at the legendary king of the forest rubbing against his palm like a big cat, "Now it seems that Xiao Mao might be right."
Ling Zhao blurted out: "Who is Xiao Mao?"
How many pets did the other person have when he didn't know?
Shi Yu glanced at him.
Ling Zhao: "...what did he say?"
"He said that the process of humans becoming infected is evolution, and degeneration means the extermination of all infected people."
Shi Yu said: "In fact, if we change our thinking, what would happen to the immunocompromised patients if there was no solar eclipse in the beginning and they did not become infected?"
Ling Zhao tried to focus on the matter, thought for a few seconds, and realized something: "They...will all die."
AIDS is a terminal illness and cannot be cured at all, at least not with the current level of human technology.
"But when the immune system combines with the immunodeficiency virus to form a new virus, people will not die from AIDS." Shi Yu said softly, "In other words, humans become infected because of the body's self-protection."
[Fuck! That’s what I mean!! This is what evolution is!!!]
[But if that's the case, why not just let him draw a tube of blood? Why did he have to go out by himself? ]
[I forgot what I said before. Did I forget that HIV is a fragile virus that dies within a few minutes of leaving the human body? ? ]
[I always thought that Master Meiren was infected at the beginning because it was a disaster from heaven, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise? In the apocalypse, with this kind of physique, why would you still be afraid of being bitten? ]
[What are you thinking? If he gets bitten, and the blood of both sides merges, the zombie will be infected with AIDS and die. Of course, he will also be infected with the new virus and become a zombie.]
[Think about why he cut himself so big when he was smearing blood on the zombie king? Why did he need to scratch the skin of the zombie king beforehand? Why did he sprinkle blood instead of smearing it directly? Obviously, it was to avoid getting infected by the pus and blood on the zombie king. ]
[I can only say that it was fortunate that he had a high fever when he first arrived and didn't know he was infected with AIDS. His body was busy fighting the cold virus and had no time to deal with his immune deficiency.]
[…I remember someone analyzed it before. Isn’t Shi Meiren a non-African? I believe that he got the background identity of an AIDS patient in this game and became infected for no reason. Besides, the doctor said that he was cured on the day he came in. Why did he relapse that night? ]
[It's not bad luck? After all, it's a disadvantage to play the game with a sick body. 】
[But if it weren't for the illness, he might have mutated long ago. ]
[Shit, I suddenly feel terrified when I think about it.]
[You didn’t mean to say that he guessed that AIDS deliberately tortured himself to save his life? At that time, the background of the game had not been laid out and no clues had been obtained. Don’t deify him, don’t deify him, don’t deify him! I have said it so many times!!!]
【By the way, have you all forgotten something? 】
Ling Zhao was stunned for a while: "Then I greet you..."
"Dead."
When Ling Zhao heard this, his first reaction was not surprise or regret, and he didn't even have any extra expression: "How did he die?"
How did he die?
Although monsters will eat humans when they are extremely hungry, they also follow the principle of strong bullying. Compared to monsters that have eaten 100 of their own kind and evolved to level 100, they are of course more willing to choose weak individuals who have just mutated and have not eaten others.
Yu Zhiyi had not shown any hostility before. Monsters would not eat a powerful monster. Weak monsters and ordinary people were better. So after being infected with the virus, he could stay safe and move freely among the monster army.
But it was precisely this sense of security that gave him the illusion. In addition, he had never considered himself a monster, so the idea that the zombies "would not attack him" was as deeply rooted as poison ivy.
He remembered implanting a chain into Da Zhu to control him, but he forgot that Da Zhu's strength was no longer the same after he had eaten his own kind thousands of times. In the past, Da Zhu didn't attack him because there were monster corpses all over the ground, but after he had eaten all the corpses, Yu Zhiyi became the only food in the eyes of the monster he had carefully raised.
Pouncing and biting is a matter of course.
Shi Yu thought for a moment and concluded: "You are just tying yourself up in knots."
Ling Zhao didn't ask any more questions.
Shi Yu said, "I don't think I told you that I was infected."
Ling Zhao paused and lowered his head: "I overheard it."
"when?"
"The night when Yu Zhiyi climbed over the balcony to look for you."
He certainly did not hear the content of the conversation between the two people, but he did hear all the intimidating and threatening words that Yu Zhiyi said to Shi Yu with his back to him before he left.
"Since you haven't mutated, I guess you are an AIDS patient who was injected with the virus within 72 hours before the solar eclipse."
Ling Zhao paused and said, "So you are still a human being in essence, not an infected person."
To complete the "degeneration" mission, we should also use the methods of the human camp to eliminate all the monsters in this world.
Ling Zhao paused for a long time before he spoke again, as if he had made up his mind: "The Temple..."
Just as he said two words, the outdoor broadcast resounded throughout the safe zone again, ruthlessly drowning out all his remaining words: "Xuyan City, Linzhao City, all infected people have been wiped out."
"All cities affected by the new virus have now been brought under control."
[The game has been completed, and the statistics of surviving players are being collected]
[Data statistics completed, will be transferred back to the midfield space soon, the final ranking and settlement results of the players in this collective game will be announced later]
