After all the survivors on the street returned to their dwelling within the base, the male corpse that had been previously killed by Wen Yixian also disappeared.
It was a corpse, probably useless for so, but to those starving survivors, it was all at! It could supplent their bodies significantly, allowing them to survive a little longer. Maybe, just maybe, hope would co during that extra bit of ti.
"Get out of my way, this is mine!"
In a dimly lit room where the sunshine couldn’t penetrate, a man, his face covered with scars and his age indiscernible, pushed away a few people in front of him. He crawled onto the table and grabbed one of the arms of the male corpse, then with a savage twist!
Crack! Crack!
The sound of dislocated joints echoed continuously. The scarred man twisted the corpse’s arm again, bending and brutally tearing it off. The corpse suddenly lost an arm, and blood started to drip out of it.
Holding the arm, the man stripped off its sleeve and bit into the flesh, his face expressing pure enjoynt.
This scene was sickening, disgusting, completely violating human morality!
However, instead of feeling disgusted, everyone in the room felt anger. They were angry that this man had stolen their food!
"F*ck! Who told you to take it?"
The man feasting on the arm was suddenly kicked to the ground by another man from behind. Then, three or four others surrounded him, beat up the scarred man, and finally snatched the arm from him.
Just as one of them was about to bite into it, the beaten man who was lying unconscious on the ground began to shiver violently. He made indistinct growling noises from his mouth. He struggled to his feet, frightening everyone and causing them to retreat.
He looked just like a man turning into a zombie, yet there was sothing different about him. The only discernible difference was that his eyes hadn’t turned white. They were just as a normal person’s, only a bit dull.
Bang!
The door was suddenly kicked open, and a young man with blue-dyed hair walked in.
"Um, do any of you have any food? I...uh, what are you guys doing?"
The young man began to speak but stopped in shock at the sight of the corpse on the table.
"Who are you? Get out!"
"You...you guys eat people?"
"Like we said, it’s none of your business!"
Those inside were getting anxious. They didn’t pay attention to the blue-haired youth but concentrated their gaze on the strangely behaving scarred man. They suspected he was turning into a zombie, but he didn’t attack them and just stood there blankly.
The group carefully moved to the side, and when they noticed the scarred man wasn’t looking at them, they relocated further away.
"None of my business? Then go to hell!"
The blue-haired youth snarled. He had seen people eat people before, and every ti he did, he’d intervene. Cannibalism was a challenge to human morality!
Even eating the dead was not permissible!
It was only natural for zombies to eat humans, but humans eating humans was sothing he couldn’t tolerate!
"Who do you think you are, acting all high and mighty? Let’s kill him first!"
Apparently having had enough of the ddling youth, and because the scarred man didn’t seem to be turning into a zombie but rather suffering from so disease, the group imdiately rushed the youth!
The youth smiled confidently at the charging group and pulled out a cleaver from his back. He swung it straight at the person in front, without any flourish.
With a flash of cold light, a large wound appeared on the man’s chest. He fell to the ground, oblivious to the world. The rest were taken aback, but during this brief mont, the youth swung his cleaver horizontally at another person, slitting his stomach open!
"F*ck!"
"Get lost!"
The blue-haired youth roared and charged at the remaining people. Within one minute, he had killed them all!
After killing them, the youth looked at the scarred man who was still standing there, seeming stunned.
"Hey, what’s wrong with you?"
Hearing the youth’s words, the scarred man turned his head to look at him. His eyes were unfocused, and his pupils dilated, resembling a dead person’s. He didn’t speak but simply slowly nodded his head.
Seeing that he wasn’t a zombie, the youth approached him. However, before he could reach him, an old man appeared at the door and stopped him.
"It’s best not to touch him, otherwise, even you, a new human, might not be able to resist it!"
"What’s wrong with him? He doesn’t seem to be turning into a zombie?" The youth asked, puzzled.
The old man coughed twice before saying: "This is the result of eating human flesh."
"Eating human flesh leads to this? Eating people can turn you into this?"
"Human cannibalism leads to an infection of the prion virus, which is now demonstrating its symptoms in him. This virus is contagious. You, as a new human, might not fear the zombie virus, but you can’t be sure you won’t get infected by the prion virus. If you get bitten by him, you’ll likely beco like him."
"What is the prion virus?"
The youth was interested, but he didn’t delay. With one swing of his cleaver, he killed the scarred man. He looked disgustedly at the amputated male corpse, dry-heaved a little, and then left with the old man.
"Prion virus is similar to the zombie virus, but compared to the effects of the zombie virus, it’s just a minor plague. When a person eats another person, it leads to a mutation in their body’s protein, forming a unique protein that controls the brain’s nerve centres. That’s how they end up like this."
"If it can be studied, maybe sothing could be discovered from the aspects of the prion virus."
The figures of the old man and the youth rged with the deserted street and disappeared into another alleyway.
anwhile, the battle between the soldiers on the zombie defense wall and the wave of zombies had reached a white-hot stage. As the number of zombies increased, Wen Yixian and the other higher-ups started to beco tense. There was still a long way to go before this ended!
Dead zombies filled the entire street. Even Level 1 zombies were in the dozens, but the Level 2 zombies had yet to appear!
They had previously estimated the number of zombies in the wave, yet the current number of zombies killed was far from reaching that total!
"It’s bad news again. Look!"
An officer hurriedly brought an aip in front of Wen Yixian. She looked at it and saw an uncountable number of zombies. But this ti, in the center of the image, a huge creature stood out conspicuously!
It was an evolved zombie! Its four limbs were stuck to the ground. By comparing it to the trees and buildings in the image, the length of this evolved zombie was at least six ters!
Wen Yixian’s eyes widened in shock. She couldn’t believe what kind of zombie this was, or what level it might be. To the best of her knowledge, the body of a Level 2 zombie was not this large!
It could very well be a Level 3 zombie!
"So of you go and bring all the quantum weapons and testers from the storage!"
"Yes, sir!"
After several soldiers left, the sun high in the sky was suddenly obscured by a layer of dark clouds. The world below imdiately dimd. Looking at the dark clouds overhead, Wen Yixian felt a premonition that Yindan Base was surely going to be overrun!
