Chapter 50 Blood (Catching Bugs) When it rains, it pours
Late at night, the outskirts of Q City were shrouded in deathly silence.
I don’t know if it’s because they realized that the situation was hopeless, but the zombie tide tonight seemed particularly crazy, with all kinds of roars and howls rushing towards the human base like a tidal wave.
Under the erosion of time, most of the zombies now only have a few spots of soft tissue hanging on their heads, and large areas of withered white bones are exposed on their broken torsos.
In the darkness, the monsters' jaws bulged, their cloudy and red eyeballs bulged abruptly on their faces, firmly occupying the center of vision, making the already deformed and rugged heads even more terrifying, just like skeletons and hungry ghosts crawling out of the abyss of hell.
Amidst this horrific scene of corpses and blood, Ming Huan stood calmly atop a tall building, like a silent statue. His eyes were tightly closed, his forehead covered in cold sweat, as he struggled to expand the range of his mimicry ability.
After these years of hard training, the boy is now able to skillfully control his own strength.
On the one hand, he firmly controlled the coverage of the supernatural power inside "Bitter Day" to ensure that there were no loopholes; on the other hand, he tried his best to block the perception of the zombies on the battlefield below to add chips to the balance of victory.
However, the sweet and fishy smell in the air became stronger and stronger. This familiar smell continued to attack Minghuan's sense of smell and nerves, making him more and more worried.
On the battlefield below, blood and flesh were splattered, wailing was everywhere, and the light emitted by various superpowers splashed in the night. Sunlight, lightning, hail, hurricanes... these superpowers intertwined together, like a horrific natural disaster befalling the world, but it brought a rare new life and hope to human civilization.
In the deepest part of the zombie tide, the system was crackling and releasing various supernatural powers, while also shouting encouragement in Gao Fengyuan's ear:
[Good news, host, we're just a hair short of the experience points—you must grit your teeth and hold on! If you collapse now, this day next year will be your death day!]
Before he finished speaking, a bullet flashing with a cold silver light whizzed out and instantly pierced through the brains of dozens of zombies at an extremely tricky and almost unbelievable angle.
The zombies didn't even have time to catch the trajectory of the bullets, and they fell heavily to the ground one after another like puppets with their strings cut.
"Get out..." Gao Fengyuan squeezed out this word from between his teeth with great difficulty while gasping for breath. Although a gap was temporarily created in the swarm of zombies in front of him, it soon returned to its original state like a swarming tide.
To make matters worse, it never rains - under the high mental tension, Alpha's susceptible period officially broke out, and the strong smell of blood covered the entire battlefield.
Gao Fengyuan’s condition is currently very bad. His eyes seem to be shrouded in a thick, blood-red fog, and the whole world has become blurred.
Since two hours ago, he has been unable to distinguish the specific direction. Every shot he fired now is a reaction based on the instinct developed by his body from years of fighting.
Alpha was now like a machine about to overload. Although his hand holding the gun was still repeating the shooting action accurately, it had begun to tremble slightly uncontrollably.
[Damn it, how come you don’t even have the energy to curse anymore—]
030 let out a panicked wail, but Gao Fengyuan had no energy to pay attention to the system's noise at this moment, because he keenly caught several dangerous auras approaching him at an extremely fast speed. This sudden change made his nerves tense in an instant.
At the same time, Ming Huan, who had been insignificant all this time, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyeballs were like two dazzling Paraiba tourmalines, instantly emitting dazzling fire.
The next second, the high-level zombies' originally targeted attack movements suddenly came to a strange halt, as if they had instantly lost their sense of their prey.
Although his consciousness was almost in chaos, Alpha's deep-rooted fighting instinct prompted him to seize this fleeting opportunity in milliseconds. His body had already reacted before his brain could issue an order - several bullets whizzed out!
Accompanied by a few dull sounds, the heads of these high-level zombies exploded instantly like ripe watermelons, and black and red blood and turbid brain matter splattered everywhere, scattering on the battlefield full of corpses and filth.
[It's okay, it's okay, it's stable...] The system had just breathed a sigh of relief, but before it could fully exhale, its heart instantly rose to its throat: [Ahhh Host, there's another one! In heaven—]
Hearing this, Gao Fengyuan, who had lost his sight, did not look up. He just tightened his restraint ring with one hand, and emptied the magazine in an instant with the other hand in a spasmodic state.
The A-level zombie overhead, using its spatial folding ability, flashed through the air countless times like a ghost, so fast it seemed to tear the air apart. But no matter how it struggled, the bullets behind it seemed to have eyes, following it like a shadow, biting it tightly.
After numerous unsuccessful attempts to escape, the intelligent zombie quickly fell into despair. It let out a roar filled with resentment. Then, as if determined to die, with a frenzied determination to destroy itself and everything in its path, it used its supernatural powers to forcefully explode the space!
【Swallow! 】
"Bang——" The air wave caused by the explosion surged outward wildly from the center of the circle, destroying everything around it with a devastating momentum.
Although Gao Fengyuan could absorb the zombies' supernatural attacks, the strong shock wave caused by the explosion still swept towards him like a raging tsunami.
Then, the exhausted Alpha was blown away in an instant like a fragile leaf, and fell to the ground without a sound.
"Fengyuan..." Minghuan saw this scene as soon as he came down from upstairs. His breathing suddenly stagnated, and his voice seemed to be stuck deep in his throat and couldn't come out.
At this moment, it seemed as if countless steel needles were piercing into the boy's brain, and the splitting headache almost made him collapse.
But under such severe pain, Minghuan seemed to have learned it by himself and instantly displayed an even more extreme supernatural power, mimicking all the corpses around him into living people!
This sudden change distracted the zombies' attention, and they suddenly started killing each other.
"Ugh—" After using all his strength to strike, Minghuan fell to his knees as if exhausted, retching heart-wrenchingly.
But he soon no longer cared about these things. After he came to his senses, he only knew to desperately wade through the piles of corpses and muddy pools of blood under his feet, stumbling towards Gao Fengyuan.
[Host, are you okay? You didn't get a concussion, did you?]
At the same time, the system's anxious voice sounded again in Gao Fengyuan's mind, but Alpha seemed to be isolated by an invisible barrier at this moment, and no information from the outside world could reach his ears.
When Gao Fengyuan regained his vision, he felt that everything around him had become extremely distorted and blurry.
In the field of vision, the distant sky gradually changed from gray-blue to pink-purple, until a ray of sunlight broke through the clouds, and the golden light instantly enveloped the earth——
It's dawn.
Under the torture of his susceptible period, Gao Fengyuan felt as if his soul had left his body. He stared at the daylight in front of him, his entire body like a stone statue. Only when his body, deprived of oxygen, sounded the alarm did he have to start breathing again.
As his senses gradually returned, Alpha subconsciously moved his nose and smelled a unique scent, a complex mixture of salty tears, pungent blood and a faint scent of hair.
Although his head still hurt, Gao Fengyuan could still clearly identify the scent. His Adam's apple couldn't help but roll a few times, and then he opened his mouth hard, but still no sound came out.
"Ahem, Fengyuan, brother, it's okay..." Minghuan, who didn't know that the other party had woken up, placed himself under Gao Fengyuan. He was stubbornly moving step by step towards the base.
As he spoke, he vomited a large mouthful of blood. The fishy-sweet blood dripped onto the ground, creating a shocking splash, and then slowly seeped into the soil.
At this moment, Ming Huan's face was as miserable as a torn piece of white paper. There was no trace of blood, and his lips were a sickly purple color. He looked lifeless.
His hair hung messily on his forehead, wet with sweat and blood, and his body was covered with all kinds of turbid liquids, which were sticky on his clothes. At this moment, Minghuan looked like a "little zombie" who had just crawled out of a pile of corpses.
Hearing Ming Huan's weak voice, Gao Fengyuan's heart felt like a spice jar had been overturned, a mixture of emotions. He sensed that his body was about to lose control, so he gritted his teeth and, with all his strength, said with difficulty: [System, transmit.]
[Yes!] 030 cried with joy.
In an instant, the two figures reappeared on the central tower of "Bitter Days." Apparently for safety reasons, the system thoughtfully teleported them to their respective bathrooms.
"Thank you..."
Under the dual torture of pain and high fever, Gao Fengyuan forced a weak smile from the corner of his mouth. Then his eyes slowly and uncontrollably turned to the opposite side, as if he could directly see through the wall to the person in the next room.
At this moment, Alpha's eyes were blood red, and his crimson eyeballs seemed like gems melted by high temperature. The thick color slowly flowed along the texture of his skin, gradually dyeing the entire area around his eyes into a bright color.
Under the light, Gao Fengyuan's body resembled a sculpture, outlined with the simplest and clearest lines. The smooth lines of muscle stretched from neck to ankle, without a trace of excess. His face was filled with a ferocious, lustful expression, and he looked like a beast that had lost its mind.
In great desire, Gao Fengyuan trembled and locked his restraint ring. The blue veins on his arms and neck struggled and bulged, as if they were about to break through the restraints of flesh and blood.
Before he completely lost control, he used up his last bit of clarity and whispered in a hoarse voice, "030, please take good care of Minghuan. Also, please...please don't let him come to me. My second wave of passion...is coming..."
Then, Alpha sank his body into the bathtub with all his strength. The cold, stagnant water seemed to have been waiting for his arrival. It instantly wrapped him up completely, making it look like a weird and desperate water burial.
