The last emperor

Chapter 303 Ancient Brain Evolution
At this time Xiao Zhenbang and Chen Ming finally rushed out of the parking lot, a creepy scream came from the shopping mall, Xiao Zhenbang glanced inside and heaved a sigh of relief, the strange cry sounded miserable, but it seemed to be strong is prevailing.

He and Chen Ming took a breath and continued to fight outside. The dim moonlight outside the shopping mall was densely packed with zombies, and it seemed that they were about to fight another bloody road.

In mid-air on the third floor of the shopping mall, a dagger was stabbed below the heart of the Iron Armored Crazy Corpse, and it had already submerged into the handle of the knife. Black and red thick blood gushed out like oil, and the entire body of the Iron Armored Crazy Corpse was twitching violently. With the left and right movements of the dagger, a big hole was cut in the sturdy heart.

Seeing through the eyes of the corpse, Zhang Jin pulled out the knife vigorously when he saw the heart was cut, and more plasma gushed out, splashing a lot on his body.

As soon as the heart was destroyed, the strength of the Iron Armored Crazy Corpse was weakened by more than half. In addition to the injuries to the limbs, Zhang Jin was no longer able to threaten Zhang Jin.

Zhang Jin turned around carefully, still using his limbs as footholds, bent over and inserted the security waist knife into the gap on the side of his head.

Even though he was facing an inhuman monster, cutting into the skull to remove a piece of hard armor seemed like torture.

The Iron Armored Crazy Corpse moved its head and opened its mouth angrily, wanting to bite, but being hung upside down had no chance at all, and Zhang Jin stepped on his arm to destroy its brain, which was undoubtedly a difficult move.

Accompanied by the sound of bones being shredded, Zhang Jin used a knife to cut around the gap between the hard armor on the head of the armored mad corpse, and then tore off the hard armor on the head.

He grabbed the head of the armored corpse and lifted it upwards, looking at the monster's brain alternately with the naked eye and the corpse's eyes.

Zhang Jin had never studied the brains of mutant zombies in detail before, nor had he seen human beings. This time, with the real thing, the complex context that was difficult to sort out in the eyes of the corpse became much clearer, and he also noticed that the brains of mutant zombies There should be some more veins than the original normal brain. According to the observation of human beings with corpse eyes, evolutionists and mutant zombies have thicker main veins than ordinary people.

In the past, even though he was a zombie, he would not be willing to torture him, and he would kill it instantly if he could. But now, in order to study the key to human evolution, he has to do experiments, using a knife to pick out the obvious appearing in the brain one by one. With a strong vein, let's observe the changes of the armored mad corpse.

Zhang Jin was surprised to find that the main veins in the outer layer of the brain had been cut into pieces, and the armored corpse was not dead yet, and could still roar.

I even noticed that the part of the brain inside is obviously more active, it feels more like a different heart beating, and this feeling is even stronger in the eyes of the corpse.

He observed carefully with the eyes of the corpse, and tried to cut it with a knife. As a result, the armored mad corpse struggled violently and then became silent. Now it can be preliminarily determined that the real weakness of the mutant zombie lies in the inner layer of the brain. , the part that connects with the spinal cord and neural network.

Hearing the sound of the cable breaking again, Zhang Jin didn't care to study any more, knocked off the alien fangs of the armored mad corpse with a knife, and was about to find a place to jump down, but there was a bang, and the cable finally broke, so he had to step on the armored mad corpse. The body fell down.

With the armored mad corpse buffering the landing, the landing went smoothly, overwhelming many zombies below, he put away the alien tooth and held the security waist knife upside down, and quickly killed him, but it was not easy to go downstairs. He was killed by his uncle and Chen Ming in the escalator The zombies were blocked, and the backlog of zombies was full again, and the handrail was full of zombies, and it was impossible to walk.

Looking at the nearby pillars, I felt that the dagger would collapse if I chopped it with a dagger, so I had to quickly kill the place next to it. There are shop roofs below, so it is not very high, and there is a thick layer of cement on the wall to embed the dagger.

Taking a breath, Zhang Jin jumped out of the guardrail and stabbed his knife at the wall. Then he left the guardrail and fell downward. go.

This place is only three meters high from the roof, Zhang Jin fell down and turned over and stood up, opened his corpse's eyes and quickly observed the environment.

Found an advertising banner in the dark, ignored the surrounding zombies and rushed over, tore off the banner and wrapped it around the guardrail before turning over.

After falling more than three meters, the banner was pulled tightly and there was a tearing sound. He let go and fell. A zombie was stepped on and fell to the ground in a pile of broken bones. He rushed towards the window while killing with the dagger.

Glancing at a bunch of zombies dead on the ground in front of a window, knowing that my uncle and Chen Ming had escaped, I was relieved, killed a few zombies, opened the gap and jumped out of the shopping mall.

Looking outside the shopping mall, there are estimated to be hundreds of them, but after the death of the Iron Armored Crazy Corpse, these zombies were not as active as before, and some of them lost their goals and walked slowly.

If it is not in the way, Zhang Jin will not pay attention to any zombies. The only ones worthy of his initiative to kill are mutant zombies. It is easy to quickly escape from the loose corpses with his hand.

After a while, he went away from the corpses to a quiet place, squatted down and cleaned the blood on the dagger with weeds and sand.

Uncle and Chen Ming probably left for at most an hour. If there were no accidents during this time, they would stay away from the ruins and go to a safer place. Xiaohu and his people would probably choose to leave the ruins and go to Cheng Tian, ​​and then come back to find someone. Afterwards, just ask Cheng Tian.

After Zhang Jin handled the dagger, he stood up and walked towards the northwest. The traces on the ground showed that his uncle and Chen Ming were also heading for this place, but they lost their target after a short period of tracking.

There was nothing worth noting about. Looking at the stained clothes and hands from the first zombie killing, he frowned and walked towards the street ahead.

The winter night looks very cold, but the moon is bright but the chill is even thicker. There are some zombies scattered on the street that are not very active in the dark night. The parcels and sundries thrown everywhere in the panic before seem to be empty. moved.

When Zhang Jin saw a clothing store, he walked over without even alarming the nearby zombies. Apart from the dry corpses, there were no living zombies in the store, and there were no traces of human looting.

He washed his hands with the water stored in the water tank on the second floor, then took off his clothes, looked at the rows of clothes, and finally picked out a set of thick warm shirts suitable for winter, put on a windbreaker, and changed into a pair socks and a pair of leather shoes.

I came out of the clothing store and entered a small restaurant. Because it is small, the inside is not too messy. The drinks, tobacco and wine in the counter have been touched, but there are still a lot left. He took two cans of beer and a box of cigarettes. , I found a bag of peanuts and went up to the second floor, and sat in front of the window where I could see the whole street.

Drinking beer and looking at the zombies moving from time to time in the street, Zhang Jin thought about what he found in the brain of the armored zombie, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

He forgot where he saw it. The abnormal area discovered today is called the ancient brain, and the outside is called the new brain. The article said that the ancient brain existed a long time ago, and it existed before human evolution. It exists, and it is said that animals are not very intelligent, but they can sing because they have ancient brains.

And thinking about it carefully, the Iron Armored Corpse still screams after the outer layer, that is, the new brain, is destroyed, which is very consistent with that description.

He forgot how much he read that article at the time, and it was because of this article that he remembered something.

If we boldly speculate that the evolution of human beings and the emergence of mutant zombies are all related to this ancient brain, it is easy to understand that the ancient brain preserves things such as animals or genes from a long time ago, no matter what it is, when encountering zombie viruses After that, it was activated, so both humans and zombies have undergone changes that were not possible in the first place.

Moreover, the mutant zombies are more obvious, and the mutant zombies are more inclined to animals, ghost monkeys, mad cows...

Besides, the mad wolf is a mutant, its appearance is as rough as a wild beast, and its body is covered with black hair.

Zhang Jin lit a cigarette and sat on the window sill. Human evolution must rely on alien teeth, which means that the altered "gene" has a strong destructive power. The human brain cannot directly evolve after being infected by the zombie virus. The alien zombies have undergone evolution, so their physique has reached the range that humans can bear.

Alien fangs condense elements that scientists cannot recognize, which was affirmed in the late last century. Mutant zombies rely on it to absorb nutrients, a bit like vampires.

Now the key problem is still not solved, only some answers about evolution have been found, why some human beings can evolve and others can’t, the probability is so low that it’s outrageously low, the probability of close relatives such as father-son and brother-in-law improving is not much, father-son If one person evolves, the probability that the other can evolve is only 30.00%, and that of brothers is only about [-]%.

That's why he didn't tell Xiaohu to use it at the beginning. If it didn't evolve, he would probably suffer more pain and have a chance to become a different species.

He threw away the cigarette, took out the alien tooth and held it up in the moonlight. There was nothing worth studying in the eyes of the corpse. After all, the eyes of the corpse were not scientific instruments, so they had to be crushed into powder and inhaled into the nasal cavity.

Leaning on the window frame, looking at the moon quietly, a moment later, the veins on his face burst out, showing an uncontrollable painful expression, but Zhang Jin still looked at the moon motionlessly, this kind of pain must be endured, after evolution The strengthening of the body is still a huge change to the body.

Thinking that in the previous life, I could turn my skin into hard armor to block knives and bullets at any time. This pain is just a cheap price.

Zhang Jin finally closed his eyes. With his current willpower, no matter how severe the intensified pain was, he would not lose consciousness. He could only bear all the pain silently in the dark.

After an unknown amount of time, he felt that his muscles seemed to be reorganizing, and every cell was collapsing. If he had any unbearable thoughts, his whole body would instantly collapse and go crazy in this extreme pain.

This feeling is very familiar and exciting. Although evolution is uncontrollable, it is like a pharmaceutical formula, which will continue to work after you succeed once.

When the pain subsided and Zhang Jin slowly opened his eyes, he felt that his hand was stronger than before, and his skin was a little itchy. When he raised his hand, with a thought, the skin on his hand slowly turned into a black armor like iron. It's like pouring iron juice on the hand, forming an iron hand.

In the previous life, Zhang Jin called this black obsidian, and he was very proficient in controlling it. From now on, his thoughts can control the skin of the body, allowing the skin to switch between normal and obsidian.

The Iron Armored Crazy Corpse will not change, but its hardness is stronger than him. Now that it has initially evolved, it is no problem to block bullets and knives with normal attack power. If it is armor-piercing or a gun like Barrett, it can still break through. But when the overall ability evolves to A level, any guns will be fearless.

He clenched his iron hand and slammed it against the window wall, with a bang, just a light slam, and a large piece of the surface of the wall was shattered, but his hand couldn't feel any pain.

Turning his head and looking out the window, he could clearly see the clothing logo of the zombie's dirty clothes 100 meters away. It was a young man wearing an Anima.

And the corpse eye can also clearly see the things inside through the three walls of the opposite building.

"Well, it seems that this alien tooth has improved a lot, and it should have reached B3 or above." Zhang Jin smiled slightly. The pain last night was worth it. He has Obsidian again, and he has evolved Corpse Eye. Bullet can see through everything, and he really can't think of anyone who can be his enemy.

Looking at the dawn, he turned over and jumped out of the window. He landed on the ground gently at a height of more than three meters. The coordination ability of his body has been greatly improved.

Everything on the street was the same as before. It seemed that no one stayed here last night. Zhang Jin identified the direction and walked directly to the direction of Cheng Tian Base.

Not long after he left the street, he found a sign left by his uncle on a street signpost. It seemed that he didn't enter the street and rushed directly to Cheng Tian's territory.

For some reason, Zhang Jin had a bad feeling about Cheng Tian. Boss Cao was the most powerful and no one would be offended. He often robbed the supplies found by others. Will actively provoke other teams.

Then it looks like there is no big trouble here except for the Medicine Gang and the Revolver Gang, which doesn't feel right.

If Cheng Tian is really a good person, how could he be able to live alone here? Just because he is not very far from the park, he can guess that Cheng Tian's strength is good, otherwise how can he rest assured that there are a large number of zombies in the park and the ruins? Near the base, clearing zombies is usually a problem.

Just as Zhang Jin was thinking about the situation and hurrying on his way, he suddenly found a corpse hanging from a tree in the grass by the roadside. This person probably hadn’t been dead for too long. It was cold after winter, so he was rotten. Only the zombies are there, which means that the time will definitely not be long, otherwise the attracted zombies should slowly disperse.

He took a look at the environment. It wasn't too far away from the ruins, but it was at a relatively safe distance, and there were residential buildings, small factories and other buildings around. Looking at the current situation, just be careful and search the surrounding area. Goods are good.

Then it can be confirmed that someone hung up the corpse on purpose, and it was intended to threaten those who came here to search for supplies. The only reason for doing so was that there was a group nearby to protect their sources of supplies.

"Interesting." Zhang Jin continued on his way. The only team nearby was of course Cheng Tian. When he saw this corpse, he didn't have to bother to find out where Cheng Tian's territory was. As long as he was walking on the main road, someone would take the initiative to find him. come up.
