Not many people know the reason, maybe it’s because this alien species has a light appetite?
In short, when this kind of thing appears, the threat of alien derivatives will drop sharply.
But in the final analysis, the threat posed by the Zombies is not simply their immense strength and speed.
The "poison" attached to their bodies that can penetrate into any hole once it touches them is the reason why they can be upgraded from "ordinary" level to "dangerous" level.
Thinking of this, Bai Ling glanced at Lin Ju next to him: "In the original future, although Lin Ju barely solved this derivative, he was infected with the poison and died a year later."
Although I am a corpse now, who knows whether this "toxin" will also affect me.
It’s better to be careful.
He took a deep breath. Even though this action had no effect now, Bai Ling was able to calm himself down quickly through this habit from "before he died".
"Ten seconds of foreknowledge of the future, and specific preparations," he stared at the body in front of him, "I have seen through the actions of this derivative within ten seconds. Now all we need to do is to prepare in advance!"
Although predicting the future for ten seconds is a bit useless, this superpower is very meaningful in dealing with monsters like the derivatives, which have obvious weaknesses! From Bering's perspective, the derivative's fingers were twitching faster and faster, like a pianist, with five fingers swaying flexibly, knuckles extending and protruding, swinging like seaweed swimming underwater.
Along with the twitching of the fingers, the body of the corpse also twitched.
In just a few seconds, the derived body twitched like a sieve, and the movement was so big that the white cloth covering it slipped to the ground! "What is this?!"
Lin Ju, who was standing next to Bai Ling, looked at the "corpse-turned" corpse in astonishment.
She had clearly examined the corpse before, and it had absolutely no vital signs and could not be classified as a living creature at all.
However, at this moment, this person who had been medically and sociologically determined to be "dead" actually made such movements as if he was being electrocuted?! Lin Ju subconsciously took a half step back, not even noticing the corpse next to him. He just looked at the crazy twitching corpse in disbelief.
No one understood the current situation better than her.
After all... this thing was a "job" that she had personally handled with her own hands! Bai Ling shook her wrist, allowing the liquid to flow on the kitchen knife and increase the area of infiltration.
He thought to himself, "Although I have already anticipated what the derivative of the 'Zombie Man' will be like, it still feels like science fiction when I actually see it with my own eyes."
"But unfortunately, we have to wait until it wakes up completely," Bai Ling said. "If we cut up the body in advance, it will only spread the alien source of the 'Zombie Man' further. Who knows who will be carried by it and who will be affected next."
The crystal liquid of salt and aged vinegar slowly flowed from the blade of the kitchen knife, dripping onto the ground and leaving some light gray marks.
At this point, there are less than two seconds left before the derivative officially wakes up.
"Let's take another look."
Bai Ling's eyes were deep: "In the next ten seconds, its movement trajectory."
My consciousness sank again, my thoughts seemed to wander in a lonely and deep ocean, and my eyes were covered with a layer of blue-gray haze.
In the seemingly still time, the next "ten seconds" of the scene were once again crushed into Bai Ling's eyes.
With a soft glow in his eyes, Bai Ling waved the kitchen knife and said softly, "On the right..."
The words fell.
The two-second countdown was approaching, and the derivative, which was still twitching, stopped its movements instantly.
It opened its eyes, its pupils dilated and empty, with only the gray shadow surging deep within the pupils, expanding and contracting like a virus still moving.
"Kuchi."
A sound that was stiffer than that of an old puppet came from the derived body. It was the sound caused by the friction between the joints, somewhat similar to the sharp sound of nails scratching on a book cover.
"Crack, crack, crack."
Amid the continuous sound of joints rubbing against each other, the derivative slowly stood up, and its bare, shriveled feet stepped on the white cloth that had previously covered the body.
It was not very tall and had gray spots all over its body. However, when such a body was exposed to the air, its reflection looked extremely strange.
The light tube above my head was shaking slightly, and the dim light was projected onto the ground, reflecting a strange atmosphere, as if it was distorted by something, and the light became eerie.
Obviously, the workshop of the funeral home has changed. If this place was gloomy before, but it could still be called "human world", then now it is like a "ghost cave".
Lin Ju took two steps back again, his heart beating like a drum.
There is no need to describe it with words, let alone explain it. There is no doubt that the current situation is not "normal"! Is this the "alien" that person mentioned? !
As Lin Ju was thinking this, his fingers touched something next to his work desk.
After groping for a while, she found that it seemed to be the scissors she used for work.
Bai Ling didn't know that Lin Ju would eventually find the "weapon" that she originally used to deal with the derivatives, just like the predetermined future.
In fact, although he was a little scared like Lin Ju, he was not so frightened that he could not move.
On the one hand, it might be because Bailing had already read the description in the diary before and was mentally prepared for this, so he didn't feel that scared.
On the other hand, it might be because... he is a corpse now.
A corpse's heart probably won't beat.
With a sigh, Bai Ling stood in front of the derivative.
“It feels a bit scary, but when I really look at it up close, I feel that’s it.”
As he spoke, Bering took two steps forward and stood in the "circle" he had mixed with salt and vinegar before. He said calmly: "When mixed with this kind of thing, the derivatives will lose their flexibility and perception due to the taste. This also means that they will become headless flies because of these little things, trapped in a narrow range and running around."
Just as he said, the newly awakened derivative body had no time to bare its fangs to Lin Ju and Bai Ling because it lost the ability to search for the enemy due to the strong smell around it.
It could only move around in panic, the "crackling" sound of its joints echoing in the room, so awkward that it made people want to laugh.
Standing at the edge of the circle, Bai Ling glanced at the derivative.
"With advance preparation, this kind of thing is easy to deal with," he thought to himself, and sighed, "But this is just a derivative after all. The real alien species... is much more difficult to deal with than this thing."
Thinking of this, he swung the kitchen knife casually.
This action is very casual, just like splashing ink and hanging a painting, so easy and simple that no one would think that such a move has any meaning.
But the next second, when the derivative body hit the kitchen knife in Bailing's hand, the head and body separated.
This action was given the meaning of... "beheading".
Cut in two with one stroke, separating the head and the tail.
In the ten seconds of the future, Bering had already seen the movement trajectory of the derivative.
It's like placing a sharp white line in front of a speeding train, which becomes taut and splits in two when the train passes.
The "life" of the derivative was also split into two halves by the knife placed in advance because of its panic-stricken movements!
