Chapter 355: The Favorite of the End Times (35)
He made it his base.
There are densely packed zombies around the mall, but no zombie dares to enter the mall.
When Qiao Xi came to the periphery.
Seeing the dense swarms of zombies, she showed no mercy. The large flames brought down by the fire magic burned and purified the products of the virus's evolution and mutation in one fell swoop, and she moved forward in the flames.
The burning flames avoided her.
Differentiate yourself into a path.
The terrifying high temperature was mixed with thick, rolling black smoke, but Qiao Xi walked leisurely in it without being affected at all.
She arrived at the mall without any problems.
That person probably noticed her a long time ago.
They turned a blind eye to her actions and allowed her to burn the dark mass of zombies outside the mall before entering the mall.
The boy stood in front of the stopped elevator.
His short dark green hair was neat, clean and soft, hanging down obediently on his forehead.
The boy with red lips and white teeth has a fair face, not as pale and bloodless as in the video.
He was wearing crisp sportswear.
The simple and slim-fitting clothes easily outline the boy's lean and slender figure, and the outline of his abdominal muscles is hidden in the hem of his pants. He is wearing a pair of brand new basketball shoes, and at first glance, you can tell that they are the style preferred by boys.
Bright and energetic.
A fresh and clean boy, nothing looks out of place.
He casually pulled up the hood of his sweatshirt, and when he glanced sideways at Qiao Xi, his expression was full of inquiry and curiosity.
There are some scattered smiles in it.
You can see his joy.
"I didn't expect someone to come here. You really surprised me. Did you come here specifically to kill me?"
Lighthearted, joking remarks.
He didn't seem to be under any pressure at all.
In the cheerful and frivolous voice, there was an undisguised bright smile, and even the teasing of a teenager.
"...You're still alive?"
Qiao Xi frowned slightly as she looked at the dark green-haired boy in front of her. There was a faint, alluring red color around his eyes, which was a symptom that people in the early stages of infection would experience. His eyes were as deep as malachite and pine green.
The pupils are not like those of ordinary people.
You can't tell just by watching the video.
However, now that they were face to face and able to lock onto each other's breath, she actually discovered that the boy still had a heartbeat. Even though it was very subtle, like a dying person, it was indeed there.
Normally people get bitten.
Only after death will they become zombies.
Or they may be infected with a virus and will mutate shortly after dying completely.
Under the premise of being infected and turning into a zombie.
Even if a person is about to die, there will be no signs of life, let alone a heartbeat.
"Alive, but near death."
The dark green-haired boy chuckled twice when he heard that. He raised his hand and pressed it on his chest, his pine green eyes narrowed slightly.
"I can eat humans and I can eat normal food."
He said this, looking at Qiao Xi with interest.
Her clear eyes, like glass beads, were filled with hidden greed and secret desires, as if she was looking at some rare treasure.
A restrained and forbearing gaze.
He paused on Qiao Xi, as if he was curious and also feeling emotional.
"It's amazing, I see you but I don't feel hungry or want to eat."
He's full of viruses.
He was like a walking, exposed source of the virus. Anyone who came into contact with him, or stood too close to him, would be infected, even those with resistant abilities.
It's just a matter of time.
However, now that he was in the same space with Qiao Xi and had exchanged several words with her, he saw no signs of the girl being infected, and for the first time in his life, he had no desire to eat her.
More.
It is curiosity and desire to explore.
"I only vaguely remember that there's a character 'Xu' in my name. You can call me that. You don't smell like a superpowered person, so how do you use your superpowers?"
Xu came in front of Qiao Xi.
The boy leaned forward slightly, and the distance between them was shortened in an instant. The boy did not have the stench of decay or the strong smell of blood that ordinary zombies had.
It really feels like before the end of the world.
Like the trendy-dressed young men you can see everywhere in peacetime, he is sunny, refreshing and clean, without any unpleasant smell.
There is a bright red at the corners of his eyes.
It looks like it was painted on, and the pine green eyes are clear and very recognizable. It is a unique and rare pupil color.
Like blood-stained lips.
It was particularly eye-catching against his fair and clean skin. Qiao Xi's gaze stayed on his face for just two seconds before moving elsewhere.
No other flavors were detected.
Qiao Xi's frown relaxed slightly, and she stared at the boy in front of her intently: "You haven't eaten humans? You ate zombies?"
"yes."
Xu put one hand in his pocket and stood up again. He was not infected even at such a close distance. He became more and more interested in this woman.
"Sometimes I'm too hungry, and these monsters keep following me. I can't get rid of them no matter what I do, so there's nothing I can do."
Xu spread his hands and shrugged innocently.
He had been hospitalized before. Because of his rare disease, he spent most of his time in the hospital. There was no effective drug treatment, so he could only delay the disease.
Who knows what will happen next?
He had more than one disease at the time and fell into a coma after receiving treatment. When he woke up, he saw nothing.
He barely mustered up the energy to get out of bed and leave his ward.
But he found it was a mess outside, with bloodstains and bloody handprints on the walls, and a strange creature wandering in the distance of the corridor. Judging from its clothes, it seemed to be a fellow patient.
It's just that the other person has a bad smell.
Plus, that appearance can no longer be considered human.
Xu wanted to leave, but the zombie wandering around at the far end of the corridor spotted him and walked towards him slowly and roared.
I probably guessed the result.
He was a burden to live anyway, so it was better to let him go. His family had already paid too much for him, and had already gone into debt from multiple medical treatments, and now they had abandoned him and ran away.
I want to die but I can't.
This way of living is really painful.
Therefore, he did not refuse when he was bitten. Instead, he felt relieved from the bottom of his heart. The pain of being bitten by zombies was comparable to the multiple chemotherapy and other drug attempts he had undergone.
Much better.
His body functions were very poor, and during multiple treatments, not only cancer cells but also normal cells were killed.
Dragging this body to survive.
It was very painful for him.
After being bitten by a zombie, he thought he was probably going to die this time. When his consciousness was blurred, he seemed to see zombies attracted by the smell of blood one after another. After that, he could only feel the pain of being bitten and torn apart.
He still fainted.
But he didn't expect that he would regain consciousness. His body was covered in blood but his skin and flesh were intact, as if it had never been torn or split.
Then he found that his world had changed.
The zombies ignored him, seemingly treating him as one of their own kind. When he woke up, he felt hungry, but there was nothing to eat nearby.
So he ate the zombies.
After waking up, he was completely lost in thought, seemingly unable to control himself, wandering around. Later, he stumbled upon a group of ordinary people and people with special abilities.
He was happy that he finally saw a living person.
But before he could get close.
Those people with special abilities were like they were facing a formidable enemy, and they shouted at him, "If you're infected, find a place to die. Don't come here!"
Xu was stunned.
Then he saw his reflection in a small puddle of water next to him.
Pale pale skin, horrible, abnormal red eyes. Like a drug addict, these psychics didn't kill him, seemingly because he still had some sense of reason to understand.
He was silent.
Finally turned around and left silently.
He didn't know whether his symptoms were normal or not. Just now, when he saw the ordinary people and the people with special abilities, he felt that they smelled very good.
This is not the way a human being should react.
Maybe they were right and he was dying of the infection.
After that, Xu lived far away from people, waiting for the day of death. When he was hungry, he would eat zombies, and the rest of the time he would wander around with them.
Until one day.
He found that some zombies were following him stupidly. No matter what he did, he couldn't drive them away, nor could he control them to leave him.
Then.
He eats the zombies that follow him.
The more he ate, the more like a normal person he seemed to become, and he also had some simple control over the zombies.
Although there is no way to stop them from following me.
But you can let them stand still not far from him, and when they exceed a certain distance, the zombies will follow them.
The zombies don't attack him.
But it will attack humans.
Xu probably figured it out too. It might be because he himself is not a complete zombie, so he cannot have complete control over the zombie group like other zombies.
Lately he’s been foraging on the other side.
Unexpectedly, he heard that zombies were attacking Base A. He walked over from a distance and some zombies followed him.
Then we passed by Base B.
The zombies ran to attack humans again, driven by instinct and unable to control themselves. He could not completely control these zombies who were crazy for food.
It’s really a headache.
However, he can attract people's attention, make them aware of his existence, and be wary of his existence.
Xu could also feel that his own strength was very strong.
But I don't know how to use it.
As he ate more and more zombies, he seemed to absorb some of their thoughts, becoming indifferent to human life and becoming more and more sinister.
recent.
Occasionally, I have thoughts of eating people.
Especially when we were at Base B before, the psychics were much more attractive than ordinary people, which was really tempting.
I couldn't help it.
Anyway, he believed that he was no longer a human being, so he planned to go and eat a few people with special abilities that night. The human part of his heart had almost been annihilated.
I guess people didn't treat him as a human being.
So Xu himself doesn't really care about it. For him it's just a change of taste, but for humans it's an unexpected disaster.
He knows too.
He was accepted by zombies and rejected by humans. Now, after eating too many zombies, he always feels that they are tasteless. In comparison, the mutants are much more delicious.
I just don't plan to be a human being anymore.
I was just about to dress up and go to base B in the evening, but unexpectedly, I waited for a beautiful little lamb who came to my door at the mall.
Maybe it can't be called a lamb.
But there is no doubt that the other party fell into his trap without being affected by him, which has made Xu interested in her.
"No scent, no powers."
Xu sniffed Qiao Xi's body carefully to identify the scent, but he could only smell a faint fragrance on the girl, not the scent that made him hungry.
But...
It made him feel restless and aroused his dark desires.
It's amazing.
The subtle fragrance penetrates into the mind, and the seductive fragrance seems to be a fine, low-key and elegant luxury, simple yet beautiful and exquisite.
You can’t put it down once you see it.
I want it more immediately.
I also want to "eat" her in another way.
His pine green eyes were dotted with a hint of gloomy and dangerous coldness, accompanied by a mischievous and malicious smile. He pulled Qiao Xi's wrist and pulled her into his arms under the girl's slightly puzzled gaze.
He found the girl's ID card in her pocket.
"Qiao Xi?"
Xu flipped through the ID card, took a look at it, and casually threw it aside. He then narrowed his eyes and stared at the hesitant girl in his arms.
Probably knew what she was thinking.
Xu reached around and held her head, letting her lean close to his chest, and a low, seductive chuckle came from him.
"Listen, there's a heartbeat."
Dongdong, Dongdong...
It's the heartbeat frequency, but it's bradycardia, and it's really weak.
There are also vital signs. The skin temperature is much lower than that of normal people, but it is not completely cold.
Xu casually picked up a strand of Qiao Xi's hair, wrapped it around his pale fingers and caressed it.
He said: "I am a living person, just a person who is infected with the virus and is dying but is still struggling. I have never killed anyone before, nor have I eaten anyone or harmed anyone. I have always only eaten zombies. So do you still want to kill me?"
