Lin Shiyu hummed softly and said, "You must have been deceived by an unscrupulous businessman, my dear brother. After a few hours, when the doomsday you mentioned doesnt arrive, youll remember this lesson, got it?"
"I understand." Lin Chao gave up his futile explanation and returned to his own room.
Waiting for Doomsday.
At the speed of a virus, it will cover every corner of the city in the blink of an eye, leaving no time for people to react. The city will be thrown into chaos, all neon lights gradually losing their color and turning into a forever dark and cold ruins!
"I hope this body of mine is strong enough and wont get infected..." Lin Chao silently prayed in his heart.
The first people to be infected are mostly the elderly and children, as well as some young people who are already sick or have been weak and ill since childhood. Ninety percent of healthy young people will develop immunity against airborne viruses, after all, their spread is global, and their concentration has been diluted countless times, with vaccines in the human body sufficient to resist the diluted virus until adaptation occurs.
The pointer rotates slowly.
"Ah——"
Suddenly, a terrified scream echoed from the residential area.
Lin Chao opened his eyes and saw that there was nothing unusual about his body, so he immediately let out a sigh of relief. He walked over to the window and looked down.
All that was seen was a middle-aged woman walking her dog in the residential area, when her gentle Poodle suddenly turned red-eyed, its fur standing up like steel needles, and it let out a loud howl as it pounced on her. At first, she thought it was just being playful, so she opened her arms to welcome it, but soon discovered in horror that her pet had sunk its teeth into her throat!
Sharp, scorching teeth pierced through to her throat, she felt a boiling liquid slide down her entire neck, and she stared wide-eyed in terror, disbelievingly at the pet in her arms.
Bang!
Throat was bitten off, the skull fell like a ball, blood gushed out from the neck, splashing everywhere, adding a bright red to this dark night!
A similar scene occurred in several other places in the residential area, where a young woman pushing a stroller was seen pouncing on a male security guard at the entrance, frantically scratching and biting him with incredible strength, pinning him to the ground, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldnt break free until he was bitten to death.
And in her stroller, a baby with bulging veins on his face, looking ferocious, with sharp teeth growing out of the sides of his mouth, was crawling out of the stroller...
Its all messed up, the world is completely chaotic!
Lin Chao had anticipated this and, after glancing at the chaotic scene in the residential area, closed the window tightly, pulled up the curtains, and covered the light to avoid attracting the attention of the rotting corpses.
Lin Shiyu heard various chaotic shouts and rushed over in a panic, hastily asking: "Whats going on outside?"
Lin Chao saw that she was safe and sound, not infected with the virus, and immediately let out a sigh of relief. He then lifted up one corner of the window curtain: "Look."
Lin Shiyu glanced over and immediately froze!
All that can be seen is chaos in the residential area, with many people desperately hiding, while those chasing them are mostly elderly people who take a walk at night, as well as children playing on the lawn of the residential area. At this moment, they are like madmen, biting anyone they see, with ferocious expressions that are frightening, their eyes are white, without pupils, and their facial skin is like toad warts, with numerous small protrusions, which is a manifestation of too many toxins that cannot be eliminated.
Outside the residential area, cars on the street were overturned and exploded, with flames burning on the tires. Everyone was running around in a panic, crying out in shock and anger.
"Whats going on here?" Lin Shiyu was somewhat bewildered.
Lin Chao sighed lightly: "I said the end of the world has come, these people have been infected with the virus and turned into human-eating corpses. From now on, we will have to fight them to survive!"
"Is it like this all over the world?" Lin Shiyus face turned pale.
Lin Chao nodded and said, "Dont believe me? Make a long-distance call and youll know."
Lin Shiyu didnt try, she already believed Lin Chaos words in her heart, and asked in surprise: "Xiao Chao, how did you know these things?"
Lin Chaolight coughed and said: "This... is a long story..."
Knock knock knock!
Just then, the outer door was suddenly slammed, and the whole door seemed to be smashed open.
Lin Shiyu subconsciously took two steps back, nervously saying: "A sound this loud shouldnt be from the neighbor next door, could it be..."
Lin Chao slightly furrowed his brow. He had not sealed the door gap with fabric beforehand, resulting in these keen-smelling corpses detecting the human scent here.
He grasped the iron bar and came to the door, a loud crashing sound and low growling noise came from outside the door, as he approached, the crashing sound became more intense, as if something outside had smelled the fresh blood on him.
Lin Shiyus face turned pale and she said: "You, what are you going to do?"
Lin Chaoshens face was solemn, and he came to the door to look at the cat. A rotten and ferocious face appeared in front of the cat, with a mouthful of fresh blood, obviously having just bitten someone.
After seeing that there were no other corpses around, Lin Chao finally felt at ease. He immediately fetched the tea table in front of the sofa and moved it to the back of the door, propping it against the wall. Then, gripping the iron club tightly, he slowly opened the latch on the back of the door.
Roar!
As soon as the lock was opened, the anti-theft door suddenly burst open and heavily hit the tea table, with great force pushing the one-meter-long and half-meter-wide tea table backward for several feet before finally stopping against the wall.
The ugly corpse outside the door roared and rushed in, with sharp teeth and saliva flowing from its mouth, just about to pounce on Lin Chao when it suddenly fell to the ground!
Its foot was tripped by the coffee table!
Lin Chao knew that initially, the intelligence of a rotting corpse was not high, similar to that of an infant, with only instinctual desires for food, so he took advantage of this.
Seeing it being tripped on the coffee table, Lin Chao immediately raised the iron rod in his hand and heavily smashed it towards its skull!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With a loud crash, the corpse struggled to get up several times, but each time its head was lifted, Lin Chao slammed it down heavily onto the coffee table, shattering the glass surface and embedding ice shards into its forehead, causing blood and flesh to blur together.
Roar!
This corpse was completely unaware of the pain, its arms flailing wildly, unintentionally sweeping across Lin Chaos thigh. The enormous strength caused Lin Chaos body to sway, and the iron rod in his hand fell rapidly!
With a loud crash, the skull of this rotting corpse suddenly burst open, and the red and white mixed brain matter spilled all over the place, standing out starkly on the grayish-brown wooden floor.
As the skull exploded, this rotten corpse finally gradually stopped moving.
Lin Chao wrapped his palm with a black trash bag, felt around the chest of the corpse for a bit, and didnt find anything. Slightly disappointed, he withdrew his hand, threw the corpse out the door, and scooped up the brain matter on the tea table with his hands, pouring it onto the corpse.
After doing all this, Lin Chao re-locked the door and found some cloth to block the gap under the door, preventing the roaming corpses from detecting the smell of living people here.
Lin Shiyu saw the door being locked again, and only then did she say with a lingering fear: "Just now, that... seemed to be Zhang Uncle from next door, how could he become like this, its just like those zombies in the movies, too scary..."
Zombie?
Lin Chao couldnt help but laugh, saying that the old era was very interesting. People would imagine all sorts of strange and bizarre things, including bio-disaster movies. The plots in those films were surprisingly similar to todays reality - a mysterious virus causing the end of the world.
The only difference is that the zombies infected in the movie are too weak, almost like toys, slow movements, not to mention they wont evolve, nor have much intelligence, completely relying on exaggerated ugly makeup to scare people, as long as you dont care about that ugly appearance, its actually very easy to kill them.
But reality is cruel.
These genuine corpses possess three times the strength and speed of ordinary people. Their bodily systems are paralyzed, but the virus acts like a stimulant, greatly enhancing their skeletal and muscular systems. Once an ordinary person is pounced upon, they are completely unable to break free and can only be killed!
And this is just the beginning, after a period of time, the virus dormant in their bodies will undergo a second mutation, at which point their strength will surge again, and some special corpses will even evolve simple intelligence, not only can they run, but also jump, avoid obstacles and so on.
There is a big difference between a corpse with intelligence and one without!
"Why havent we been infected?" Lin Shiyu suddenly thought of this and asked in surprise.
Lin Chao smiled and said: "Most of those infected are elderly people and children. Generally, young people have strong physical resistance and will not be infected."
"Ah, I see..." Lin Shiyu suddenly realized, "Ever since I was affected by that experiment, my bodys resistance has increased greatly, and I almost never get sick with a cold or illness. Although my body is still that of a child, in terms of resistance, Im not inferior to an adult."
Lin Chao finally understood.
"What shall we do now? Are we waiting for the army to rescue us?" Lin Shiyu couldnt help but ask.
Lin Chao shook his head, the military was still a powerful force in later generations, but at the beginning, they didnt care about so many ordinary people. After all, this disaster was global and there was no warning sign. The military was also in chaos and needed some time to integrate before it could calm down.
And at that time, the corpse had transformed again!
"In a short period of time, the army wont have time to take care of us." Lin Chao stared into her eyes and said: "We can only rely on ourselves to survive, with these grains we at least can hold out for two months."
……
Seeing four rewards, I feel deeply moved.
Thanks to all brothers who still support Lao Gu, this time I will never give up, never abandon!
