"Damn it, this is really weird today. Why do you keep setting off firecrackers for him? Do you even know how to play?"
The person sitting opposite the young man showed a helpless expression.
"How was I supposed to know that he always wanted the cards I threw out? Eventually, I didn't even know what I wanted anymore!"
"Alright, alright, stop talking! You made quite a bit of money today, shouldn't you show some appreciation?"
The three of them had gambled away all their money and were feeling a bit down. Seeing the young man counting his chips with a smug look on his face, they couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
There's no such rule at the gambling table; it's just that some people are in a good mood and want to share their winnings with others.
So they would usually take the loose chips from the card table and distribute them to everyone as money for tea and cigarettes.
The young man clearly lacked this awareness; he carefully collected the chips into his pocket one by one, looking at everyone with a smug expression on his face.
"not good……"
Before he could finish speaking, he felt a tightness in his chest, as if a heavy hammer had struck him hard.
He felt everything go black in front of his eyes, and the whole world started spinning.
Then, his body began to sway uncontrollably, and he collapsed to the ground like a drunkard.
Upon seeing the person lying on the ground, the other three gamblers immediately exchanged glances and secretly approached.
While everyone was distracted, they slipped some of the chips into their own pockets.
Then, feigning concern, he went forward to help the young man who had fallen to the ground.
"Hey bro, what's wrong? Did you skip dinner? Having a hypoglycemic episode? Come on, get up, sit down, and have some water!"
"Yeah, what happened? We're on a winning streak today, we can get a nice meal when we get home, but the rest of us aren't doing so well, sigh!"
"Quickly help him over to sit down in a chair and catch his breath! Please pat his back!"
The three men were busy working frantically, and the other gamblers looked on with respect.
They then continue to focus on their own hand, as if this situation is nothing more than something they can look at and that's enough for them; there's nothing more they can do to help.
Just as these people were helping the young man to a chair, they suddenly sensed that something was off about his expression.
One of the men who had grabbed the other's arm felt as if his hand had been burned. He quickly withdrew his hand and looked at the young man sitting in the chair with a surprised expression.
"Holy crap, it's so hot!"
He blew on his hands, a surprised expression on his face.
When I touched the young man's arm again, I found that some white steam was rising from his body.
The temperature was not very high, only around five or six degrees Celsius, and the young man was covered in moisture.
As his body temperature rose, his sweat began to evaporate, making him feel like he was on fire.
Upon seeing this, the three gamblers were immediately frightened and quickly took half a step back.
"What's going on?"
Everyone shook their heads, unsure of what was going on.
The gamblers nearby lost their appetite and turned around in horror to look at the steaming figure, wondering what had happened.
Just then, the young man suddenly opened his mouth wide, and his face emerged from the mist.
Suddenly everyone could see his face clearly.
His face was ferocious, his eyes wide open like copper bells, filled with blood.
His entire face was distorted, his mouth was so big that it could fit two fists, and his teeth had become sharper.
The fingers, which used to look ordinary, have now become unusually hard.
The nails also began to grow little by little at a rate visible to the naked eye.
"Oh no! It's a ghoul!"
Someone immediately recognized the situation and shouted into the crowd.
Then the people next to them started screaming in terror.
Just then, the young man suddenly lunged towards the three gamblers who had been there.
With a "whoosh," a large gash was immediately bitten open on one person's neck.
The moment the major artery was bitten open, a large amount of blood sprayed into the surrounding crowd.
Everyone screamed and ran outside, but the casino needed to keep it a secret.
Therefore, the exits were set up to be very small, mainly to prevent the local police from discovering and arresting them.
Everyone was desperately trying to squeeze out, but the more they squeezed, the slower they got, and they couldn't get out at all.
There were even some fights, and the mutated ghoul inside started attacking the crowd.
More and more people were bitten or grabbed by it, and soon the expressions of those who were injured began to change.
In no time, the zombie virus infected the entire casino, turning it into a dense mass of cannibals.
Meanwhile, the soldier who had just inspected the small boat felt increasingly uneasy.
"No, no, something's not right!"
His colleague sighed slightly upon seeing his reaction.
"What are you doing? Why are you so startled? You're about to get off work, so you should think about what to eat for dinner. By the way, is there anything else going on at home?"
However, before he could finish speaking, he heard the soldier's face show a look of shock, and he slapped his forehead and shouted loudly.
"I know, I know! There must be a corpse under this ship. He was planning to eat people!"
Several team members nearby immediately realized that something was wrong.
So they quickly boarded the nearest small boat and sped off towards the direction where the young man had lived.
Upon arriving at their destination, they kicked open the already flimsy door without saying a word.
A foul stench wafted from the room, and there were still some food scraps in the pot.
They quickly poured it out, and found several finger segments and half a hand inside.
Several soldiers nearby were so disgusted by what they saw that they started vomiting.
The oldest soldier in the middle showed a look of fear on his face.
"This is bad! He ate these corpses, he'll definitely mutate! Find him immediately! Also, notify Commander Luo to seal off the entire camp!"
Then the piercing sound of sirens rang out.
The entire camp immediately descended into chaos, with no one knowing what had happened.
But the sound of the siren told them that this matter concerned each and every one of them.
