Chapter 002: Dramatic Changes

Uncertain how much time had passed, Li Lang woke up in a daze. The hallucinations in his mind had dissipated, and although the pain throughout his body had diminished to a bearable level, it still left him utterly devoid of strength, unwilling to move at all. What he found most unbearable was an intense feeling of hunger that nearly threatened to consume him.

The piercing alarm in the execution chamber seemed to urge him to act quickly; the sooner he understood the situation in such chaos, the greater his chance of escape

The plump zombie, upon seeing Li Lang move backward, immediately became furious and strode over, each step seemingly as large and swift as that of an ordinary person

This street gradually fell silent

Li Lang struggled desperately, but he simply had no strength left in his body, and the feeling of hunger further diminished his stamina. He could see that he was about to be dragged out

What happened? Is there a terrorist attack? Li Lang thought in surprise. Deep down, he vaguely felt he had grasped something, but his mind was as if it were coated in glue, unable to turn, and he could not capture that fleeting insight.

The lingering consciousness compelled him to resist the temptation of striking his left hand. Just as he was about to reach the door, Li Lang unexpectedly saw a familiar face

Li Lang slowly got up, a knowing smile appearing at the corner of his bloodied mouth. This hearty meal of flesh and blood had restored quite a bit of his strength, and the next step was to escape from here

A chilling sensation spread from his wrist to the tip of his tongue, and the biting force was surprisingly strong. He had already bitten through one-third of it, yet no blood flowed out, and he did not feel any pain. What was going on? However, Li Lang had no time to concern himself with this; he simply bit down hard with his teeth, the pale tendons with uneven severed ends springing out from his skin, and the bone beneath had a surprisingly crisp sensation.

Consciousness has become increasingly blurred wwwhetushu . comcom !

The corpulent zombie let out a wretched scream, and its enormous head began to melt. Before long, the skull beneath was exposed, and astonishingly, even the skull started to dissolve, resembling ice and snow in a furnace

At last, he was able to sit up. He slowly twisted his long-bound body and then discovered that he was covered in blood. The prison uniform he wore seemed to have been corroded into tatters by something, barely able to cover his body, as if his own blood was at work.

The entire execution chamber was flashing with red light and emitting a piercing electronic alarm. Meanwhile, a sound resembling chewing seemed to emanate from some corners, but Li Lang's line of sight was restricted, preventing him from seeing those areas

He extended a forked tongue, licking his terrifying lips, and surprisingly looked over at Li Lang

It is General Manager Wang

Although he exerted all his strength, he did not understand why he felt utterly powerless, while the hunger emanating from deep within his body grew increasingly intense. With each step he took, the tide of hunger nearly threatened to tear him apart

At that moment, a sudden scream echoed from the front, as a robust, overweight zombie tore a small, thin zombie in half and began to devour its internal organs with great enthusiasm! The mouth of the overweight zombie seemed to have undergone a mutation, capable of splitting into four segments, each lined with four to five rows of sharp teeth. When opened, it was as wide as the waist of the small zombie, and in just a few bites, it swallowed the small zombie whole.

Although this shout was somewhat loud, it did not attract the attention of those "people" who were focused on their meals. Li Lang slowly walked towards the nearest store, where the television in the display window seemed to still be broadcasting the news

He simply lay flat on the ground and burrowed in, grabbing Li Lang's legs and pulling him outward, while simultaneously resisting the temptation of food from the *illustration*, swallowing Li Lang's legs in one bite, emitting a muffled laugh

The viscous fluid that had transformed from the severed head was slowly absorbed into Li Lang's left arm. However, at this moment, after expelling a dark red liquid, Li Lang fell into a state of unconsciousness, completely unaware of what had transpired

Li Lang felt a surge of joy in his heart, and he could not care about anything else. He gathered all the remaining strength in his body to pull at the steel rings on his limbs. To his astonishment, except for the steel ring on his left wrist, all the others seemed to have been corroded, leaving only a thin layer, and he managed to break them free despite his limited strength

Although his whole body was in excruciating pain, Li Lang still took a deep breath, straining to lift his head to see if there were any enemies among the audience. To his surprise, he caught a glimpse of a shocking scene out of the corner of his eye: the entire viewing platform was completely empty, as if splattered with red paint, covered in reddish-brown stains. From the smell, it was actually the foul stench of blood! The scent of blood intensified Li Lang's hunger; although his rational mind told him that this was somewhat abnormal, the hunger was undeniably making him feel uncomfortable.

What has happened? Am I actually already dead and have come to hell? Li Lang's suppressed rational thoughts raced like lightning, while the bloodthirsty desire surging from the depths of his heart made him roar with excitement

Not good, this guy seems to be hungry and is actually targeting me! Li Lang's heart tightened, and he immediately began to retreat. However, his body appeared to be extremely weak, likely due to just becoming a zombie. Aside from the enhanced biting force of his mouth, his overall strength was significantly diminished, allowing him to move at less than half his usual speed. Moreover, it felt as if his stomach was a bottomless pit, and that sense of hunger had returned.

He seemed to have a trace of residual consciousness, struggling in a fit of rage, trying to push away Li Lang, who was pressing down on him, but was firmly held down by Li Lang. Li Lang's ferocity was also provoked; with a fierce bite, he tore off half of President Wang's neck. Then, with a crack, President Wang's neck actually snapped, and his head rolled to the side like a ripe apple. A few shadows nearby lifted their heads to take a glance, then lay back down.

I ...? ... am not dead? He tried to think with his searing, painful brain, struggling to open his eyes that were glued shut with blood, and vaguely saw the cold ceiling of the execution chamber, while his body remained strapped to the execution bed

It smells so good, he thought. He never expected his own flesh to be so fragrant. He suppressed the urge to swallow a piece of meat, biting off the last piece of skin and flesh, completely unaware of how surprisingly strong his bite force was, as well as the astonishing sharpness of his teeth

The fat man was the first to be attacked, having been bitten several times all over his body. He collapsed at the door, and in the chaos, no one paid him any attention. Now, his body was covered in dark purple blood clots, and he was still convulsing on the ground, exuding a foul odor. Hunger had nearly completely taken control of Li Lang, and upon seeing General Wang lying on the ground, he couldn't help but feel a surge of greed, as if he had spotted a delicacy. His bloodshot eyes widened, and he immediately pounced, sinking his teeth into General Wang's neck.

Li Lang originally intended to sneak away from the corner, but when he staggered onto the street, he found the scene outside to be a complete mess. Cars were congested and parked closely together, and everywhere he looked, there were swaying figures covered in blood wandering about. These figures emitted strange howls while tearing at the corpses they had obtained. The outside was entirely a depiction of hell on earth

He looked at himself, covered in blood, and thought to himself, so I have already become a zombie; otherwise, I should have died long ago. He gave a self-deprecating smile, not expecting that the disaster of humanity would actually become his blessing. Yet, in such a short time, the world had completely changed.

At that moment, President Wang suddenly opened his eyes, and his pupils were surprisingly dilated as well

After a brief hesitation, Li Lang unexpectedly opened his mouth and bit into his own forearm! He was no longer the naive university student; the experience of life and death had made him realize that only the ruthless can survive and thrive! Be harsh to others, but even harsher to oneself! If he hesitated to part with this hand now, he might pay with his life later! A death row inmate who survives the execution might be granted a commutation if it were someone else, but he was acutely aware of the power of his enemies, and what awaited him was certainly death!

Li Lang, in a moment of panic, quickly lowered his body and crawled under a car parked by the roadside

At this moment, his left hand was lying on the cold bed by itself, giving Li Lang a sense of unreality. He reached out to take his left hand, examined it briefly, and then tucked it into his pocket. After that, he stood up unsteadily and walked outside

I want to live! Even if it means as a zombie! I want revenge! Li Lang shouted in his heart, using his incomplete left and right arms to push forcefully against the face of the fat zombie.

Fellow citizens, due to the use of biochemical weapons by the United States of Britannia in the Pan-American regional war, the entire world is now suffering from the invasion of the deadly mutated virus T. I hereby declare a state of emergency nationwide. Please immediately gather at the city fortresses of Chengmo, Beiping, Jiannan, and Anying. The government has established the most fortified strongholds, which will certainly provide everyone with a safe environment. If any of your relatives have been bitten by a zombie, please report it immediately, and we will provide the most timely treatment. If zombies are discovered, it is imperative to attack their heads at the first opportunity. The leader of the Red Star Republic is loudly calling out on television, and it seems like a repeated broadcast of the news.

Originally, a piece of Wang's neck had already been bitten off by Old Sun, and at this moment, Li Lang was biting the other side. The remaining blood was being greedily sucked and swallowed by Li Lang, slightly satisfying his hunger

Li Lang finally began to understand what had happened; it was an invasion by a biological virus! He never expected that the stories from science fiction novels would unfold in reality! Moreover, looking at the time beside him, it had already been several months since he had been subjected to punishment!

What should I do

He forcefully stretched his neck forward, trying to understand what had happened, but unexpectedly, with a snap, the clasp around his neck broke apart

I want to live! Li Lang, in a frenzy, exerted all his strength and let out a desperate scream. At that moment, he felt something within him gathering at the wound on his left arm, and then a thick, dark red liquid sprayed from his left arm, drenching the head of the fat zombie!

I want to live, I want to live

It seems that something significant has happened, and everyone has fled from here. They probably all think that I am doomed, but little do they know that I am quite resilient. The urgent task now is to quickly escape amidst the chaos. Li Lang considered for a moment and then focused his attention on his left wrist. The steel ring on this wrist had actually been corroded, but it was still encircled by a layer of reinforced plastic rings, seemingly used for monitoring body temperature, yet its material was even tougher than steel.

To his surprise, when he reached the street outside, he was taken aback!

"Why am I still alive?" Li Lang gasped for the sweet, metallic air, realizing that since he had not died, he must strive to live every single minute. Having endured such a cruel punishment, he wondered what other tortures those bastards would inflict upon him.

The fat zombie grew even angrier; in his eyes, Li Lang was so frail that he could be considered the weakest of zombies. How could he not obediently stand there and let him eat? This was truly outrageous
