"Maybe it's a human who ran over, hehe." Some of the infected people in the group were quite optimistic.
At this moment, a resident from room 0601 suddenly spoke up:
"Something is knocking on my door."
"Quick, open the door and see if it's human! Charge!" someone in the group immediately egged them on. "If it's human, we can have extra food in our building today!"
"@Your esteemed OP, I want to eat brains. I feel like my scalp is itchy lately, maybe my brain is starting to shrink."
"I want thighs! Lots of meat!"
A group of people immediately started discussing the details of sharing the food in the group chat, as if the residents of room 0601 had already caught the human who knocked on the door.
Yin Zhu couldn't believe it was human no matter how hard she tried.
"I don't think that stick insect has much meat on it. If it were a spider, it might have more meat," Yin Zhu said to Hirano Shan.
Hirano San shook her head: "That's no ordinary infected. If they underestimate it, they'll probably suffer a great loss."
At the urging of the residents of DE08, the two infected individuals in room 0601, one holding a mobile phone and broadcasting a live stream, and the other holding a weapon, opened the door amidst increasingly urgent knocking.
"You...! Ah!"
Almost instantly, the resident who opened the door was pierced by the stick insect man's arm.
However, in reality, the screams, fear, and wails that Yin Zhu had imagined did not occur.
On the contrary, the infected person who was exposed not only didn't die, but didn't even collapse. After a brief shock, it recognized the person opposite it and shouted, "You're the madman on the wanted poster!"
The stick insect man gripped the doorman's arm tightly, trying to drag him out of the room. However, the doorman didn't give up so easily; he braced his arms against the doorframe, as if to say, "Whatever, I'm not going with you."
In the magnified live stream footage, Yin Zhu could clearly see that the hole pierced by the stick insect man had no bloodstains, only a raised iron plate and a steel core whose internal structure was visible.
She almost forgot that there are cyborgs in this world.
As mentioned before, advanced citizens directly undergo biomedical procedures, sewing healthy limbs of others onto their own bodies; while lower-level citizens, unable to afford treatment with living bodies, often resort to using steel as a makeshift fix when the damage is too severe.
This resident is in the same situation.
Because he was wearing clothes, the steel body of the resident of room 0601 was covered up and only now was it revealed.
