Rebirth of the Zombie Age

Chapter 24
After four days, Li Jing's body had already been carve up and clean, and the blood-stained bed sheet had been torn apart by them. The bright red bloodstains had all disappeared, replaced by faint yellow saliva, emitting a stench.

Losing the temptation of blood, there are not many zombies left, only a few of them wandering unconsciously inside.

The moment he entered the door, a figure leaped from above in an instant, Xu Hao's eyes were fixed, and he made a side step to avoid the sudden attack.

It was a mutated black cat.

There was a large wound on its neck, and the broken larynx was clearly visible, and a little further down, even the beating internal organs could be vaguely seen.

With such a severe trauma, the cat should have been lying on the ground and lost its voice, but the virus made it active again.

Its pupils were fully dilated, and if it wasn't for the shadow, they would have been round, black eyes, just like a normal cat's at night.

A cat's pupils have such a feature that they change as the light changes.

During the day, it is usually in a half-open state, which looks like a date stone. When the light is strongest at noon, the cat's pupils will narrow into a thin slit, showing an upside-down vertical shape.At night, the pupils are fully open again, which helps them see in dark environments.

But now it was clearly daytime, and its pupils did not turn into date pits as usual, which also showed from another angle that zombies did not rely on their eyes to catch targets.

After a miss, the mutated cat charged at him again, this time it went straight to the door, so close that the dried blood on its body could be seen clearly.

He yanked hard with the back of his fist, and the mutated cat was slammed into the air. Its head made close contact with the concrete wall, and it was completely shattered, while its body rolled to the ground weakly.

Withdrawing his arm, Xu Hao didn't look at it again. When dealing with mutant creatures, he would never show mercy, nor would he show mercy just because it was an animal.What's more, after the mutation, whether it is still an animal is still controversial.

The sound of the black cat hitting the wall attracted the rest of the zombies. They came out from the corner, and when they found Xu Hao, they all opened their chapped lips, showing their sharp teeth, and uttered a heart-shattering "Oh!" Hoo hoo" sound, stumbling towards him.

Click!

Xu Hao smashed the neck of the nearest zombie with one hand, and then swung his backhand. The head of the other rushing zombie spun around several times, and finally fell face down on its back.

Xu Hao's power as a Tier [-] enhancer was fully revealed at this moment. Ordinary zombies pose no threat to him at all, and he can't even get close.

After dealing with the remaining two zombies effortlessly, Xu Hao finally went up to the second floor and saw the picture in his mind.

Beside the white bed, under the broken window, a man was lying there. There were no zombie bite marks or scratches on his body, but he exuded a dead air.

Slightly different from what I remembered, the bed was a mess at this time, with rags everywhere, which should be caused by the zombies scrambling for the blood on the bed sheet.

But what really made him frown was the man's appearance at this time.

His lips were pale, his eyes were like dead fish eyes, lifeless.The skin exposed outside the clothes is wrinkled, and the whole arm seems to have shrunk, as thin as a bamboo pole, as if it will break if it is unbearable with a little force.

What is the difference between this appearance and a dead body?
It was only then that Xu Hao remembered that since he had been in a coma for four days, it meant that this person had not eaten for four days.

Has evolution failed?

He sighed, and was about to leave, but stopped suddenly. At the moment just now, he seemed to see the other party's lips move slightly.

The movement was very small, and he wasn't sure if it was his own eyesight or it was true.

Crouching down, he put his fingers on the aorta in the man's neck, and finally felt a weak beating.

This person is not dead yet.

He was a little surprised. Medical research shows that the life limit of a person in a state of starvation is at most 7 days, and if he does not eat for 3 days or drink water for 7 days, he will face the threat of death.

This man hadn't eaten or drunk for four days, yet he was still alive, he couldn't help being surprised.

But next, another problem was posed in front of Xu Hao.

The man's body is too weak, and he can't even withstand a little bit of twists and turns. If he is carried to the car, he will probably die from the bumps before returning to their temporary residence. Even if he wants to recuperate slowly, he will die. possible.

After hesitating for a while, he finally made up his mind.

He rolled up the sleeve of his left hand, picked up a shard of glass, and swiped his left arm vigorously. The blood immediately gushed out, landed on the man's shriveled lips, and seeped in from the corner of his lips.

Feeling the warmth of the mouth, the man's body's desire for food began to take effect, his lips gradually wriggled, sucking more blood into his mouth, and at the same time his Adam's apple rolled up and down slowly, swallowing it into his stomach.

This time, Xu Hao's blood did not cause a frenzy of zombies. It seemed that the things that attracted zombies had disappeared.

This phenomenon was discovered when he was fighting with the newborn species.

On the construction site, his abdomen was accidentally scratched by the other party. At that time, he was still worried that if a zombie frenzy was triggered like before, then his fate can be imagined.

But unexpectedly, except for the zombies that were closer to him, the zombies in other places did not show any special reaction, which puzzled him a bit, but it was also a lot more convenient.

Not long after the blood flowed out, the wound on the arm began to grow new flesh at a speed visible to the naked eye, until it healed again, Xu Hao had to cut it open again to let more blood flow out.

In fact, he didn't know whether this method would work, but the mutation of the first-born species made him see the possibility.

Being able to evolve from Lv0 to Lv1 so quickly, if not for the special opportunity, would be the real leader among the zombies, the existence of the sleepy species that can become Lv2 or even the perverted species of Lv3 as long as they are given time to develop.

But there is a prerequisite for this - time.

In any case, they must go through the process of eating—energy accumulation—evolution—eating—energy accumulation—higher evolution. This process is cyclical and takes time to complete.

Therefore, no zombie can evolve arbitrarily regardless of the existence of time.

It stands to reason that the same is true for the first-born species. Without the link of eating and accumulating energy, it is impossible for it to evolve again so quickly.

The reason could only be because of Xu Hao's blood.

After sucking the blood he dripped on the shift lever, the first-born species improved to a higher level in a short period of time, not only greatly strengthened the body, but even gave birth to wisdom.

From this point of view, it seems that his blood has a very special ability - to promote evolution.

Now, he wants to take this opportunity to see if this guess is true and whether it can affect Zhou Jian as well.
