Aberration

Chapter 2 Infection
The man jumped off the balcony carefully, and when he landed, his body moved downwards to increase the buffer, so that under the cover of thunder, almost no sound could be heard.Lightning is the only light here. He lowered his body and observed everything inside with the regular light.The hall of the house was in a mess, and bursts of stench came from not far away to his front door. Looking along the smell, there was a figure lying on the sofa in the living room.

He tiptoed and approached slowly, holding his breath.It's a little strange that I'm not even afraid?He could feel that his heartbeat was very stable now, and he didn't have the slightest fear of the figure in front of him.The stench was accompanied by a slight buzzing sound, and some flies scattered in shock when he approached.Only then did I realize that in front of me was a corpse that was rotting to the bone and was being eaten away by maggots.
Judging by the clothes, it was a man.He carefully continued to listen to the movement inside the house, but due to the problem of too much rain, he could hardly hear anything.Looking into the corridor through the hall, all the doors are open, and from time to time, you can see the lightning light shining into the corridor from the room window.

The shadow flickered from light to light, making it hard to see what was in the room.Walking to the cabinet in the hall, squinting and scanning several places, except for some books and decorations, there are almost nothing available.There is a photo frame next to the cabinet, which contains photos of a family of three. The male owner is probably the man who died on the sofa.

A family of three took pictures outdoors, smiling very sweetly.The time can be vaguely seen in the lower right corner of the photo: September 2120, 9.

He doesn't know what year and month it is now, but judging from the degree of decay of this male corpse, he should have died not long ago.Coupled with the hot weather and the bites of flies, the rate of decay will be faster.

After putting down the photo in his hand, the wound on his right hand began to ache, and the black blood had already spread to his shoulder. He suddenly felt powerless, his head was dizzy, and he staggered to the dining table in the hall, and the wine bottle on the table fell to the ground. ,"Snapped--"

He didn't dare to move his heart tightly. At this time, there was a roar from the room in the corridor, and the running footsteps came in response. Without hesitation, the man drew out the scimitar on his back, clenched his hands tightly, and rushed in front of a bloody figure. The moment she came out, she took a step forward and swung the knife forcefully. A woman's head fell not far away, her body fell to her feet, and a pool of black liquid flowed from her neck all over the ground.Listen again, the house fell into silence.

The man suddenly collapsed on the chair, his vision became blurred, his mouth was sticky and his throat was hot, his body was sweating profusely, and his right arm was twitching constantly.Oops, it must be a virus attack!What to do now! ?His heartbeat began to speed up, his breathing became short of breath, and he leaned back on the chair, his consciousness gradually blurred.
"Could it be that you are going to die?"

Now, the saliva from the corner of his mouth has begun to droop.
"Crackling——" A flash of lightning pierced through the clouds, and the thunder exploded. He was suddenly relieved, as if awakened from suffocation, and took a long breath in his throat. black liquid.

At this moment, the blood vessels on his neck were all black threads, spreading to his face without stopping.I was covered in cold sweat, and I wanted to stand up, but I didn't have the strength.He began to touch his body randomly, his mouth began to moan, and he kept thinking: move, move, you can't just be swallowed by the virus like this. For a moment, his eyes were plunged into darkness, and he couldn't even see the lightning.

Immediately, the hunger surged up. I can't do it anymore, I can't hold on anymore and I'm going to die.
When he was about to give up, his left hand, which was searching randomly, held a long container. Although he couldn't see clearly, he used his last remaining consciousness and his teeth as an aid to unscrew the lid with his left hand.
A little unwilling, a little helpless, my heart swayed, I plunged into my own neck, poured the yellow liquid into it, and then fell heavily on the ground...

A beam of light hit the balcony through the glass, and the torrential rain that had been falling all night finally stopped.

The man moved his fingers slightly, and slowly opened his eyes. His vision began to become clear. His whole body was sore and weak, and he struggled to get up from the ground.Thinking of what happened last night, I still have lingering fears.It's not the yellow potion on his body, he probably has become a member of the horrible corpse.

He raised his right arm, and the black blood streaks had subsided, except for some redness and swelling at the wound, basically there was no serious problem.Looking at the two corpses on the sofa and on the ground, I felt a sense of loss.He couldn't think of anything, but he knew instinctively that there was danger, and everything he had experienced in the past was deeply burned into his mind, giving him the correct way to deal with danger.

Picking up the empty container that I had left behind after the injection last night, although I was not sure, everything that happened now, and the things I kept on my body after taking risks, must have an important connection with this catastrophe!But after scratching my head, I still can't think of anything
Sighing, knowing that it is useless to think, first try to live on, and wait for the state to recover before looking for the answer.

After a short rest, the man searched the whole house.In the child's room, some stumps were found.From the looks of it, it was all done by the hostess. No wonder the female corpse fell on the ground with a big belly.
There was no longer any horror in his heart, only a sense of sadness accumulated between his brows.After closing the child's door while covering his nose, he entered the master bedroom.Except for some bloodstains in the master bedroom, things were overturned on the ground, and the closet was opened, which was full of the couple's clothes.There are also some jewelry, cosmetics, etc. in the drawer.
In the study room, there is a computer and decorations on the bookcase.He went to the kitchen again. The refrigerator had stopped working. Fortunately, he stocked some canned food and bottled water in it. Several bags of rice and noodles were placed in the corner of the kitchen, and the seasonings were all complete.The man turned on the gas and tried it. "Pfft—" The blue flames traced a beautiful arc on the stove.He was overjoyed, he didn't expect to use gas!

When he came to the shower room, there was a lot of water stored in large and small buckets in the bathroom, and the food and drink should have been accumulated bit by bit by the family.Suddenly, I felt a little regretful, sorry that this family could not escape the infection and corpse change in the end.

Seeing so much water, I looked around my whole body in the mirror, smelling rancid, sweaty, and sour from rain.Only then did he suddenly trigger his sense of smell from his nostrils, and he almost fainted a second time on the spot.
He took off his clothes, poured some of the water stored in the bathroom into the bathtub, and then soaked in it. The blood stains on his body slowly stained the bathtub black.After a while, drowsiness suddenly struck, I just felt that my eyelids could not be opened, and I fell asleep unconsciously.
