Chapter 004: Mutant Zombies

It ... ... it is not a human at all

Within a hundred meters on the surrounding street, all the people had long since fled, and the nearby shops had closed their doors. They saw an ugly humanoid monster sitting alone on the ground, making strange noises. The few special police officers who had just arrived on the scene were initially unaware of the situation due to insufficient information, but they quickly made a decisive move to encircle the zombie.

Instantly killed!

I am a police officer, cease your wrongdoing immediately, or force will be used to suppress you

According to my memory, at most within ten minutes, this patient will undergo corpse transformation. A freshly transformed zombie is very weak during the first two minutes, and an ordinary person can easily kill it. If Yuntu, who has experienced mountains of corpses in the apocalypse, were to take action, the tragedy of this zombie killing dozens of people in its previous life would not occur.

Killing zombies early may seem to save a few or a dozen lives, but in reality, it holds no significance for the entire apocalypse

The security guard at the corridor rushed towards the woman's husband, while Yuntu numbly closed her eyes. A tragedy occurred once again, as two strong men were once again firmly grasped by the female zombie, unable to break free no matter what.

The zombie's physical abilities have reached their peak. At this moment, even if Yuntu were to take action, given his current physical condition, he would not be a match for the zombie without firearms. However, Yuntu, who is hiding behind the kiosk at the hospital entrance, is still waiting

Of course, all of this is hypothetical; Yuntu cannot act rashly. Currently, he is the only one who knows that the patient will turn into a zombie, and he does not wish to bear the accusation of murder without cause. Moreover, he hurried here not to slay the zombie at the first opportunity to protect the public; the rules of the game in the apocalypse are not played this way. He has a very clear and selfish goal.

Under the cloud, Yun Tu instinctively reached into his trench coat, but he quickly regained control of his emotions, remaining still and observing coldly.

After being consumed by hatred, the advanced black zombie is not easily deterred from its target. Just as the zombie seems to reach out to grab Yuntu, Yuntu suddenly accelerates and rushes into the elevator of the hospital building, simultaneously pressing the button for the highest floor, the 18th.

After a zombie absorbs the blood of ten different individuals, it will mutate again. This process takes approximately five minutes. The first-tier black zombie, after advancing, will significantly increase in strength compared to an ordinary zombie, to the point where most parts of its body cannot be penetrated by bullets.

Seeing that the situation was not right, a police officer was the first to draw his gun. The zombie seemed completely unfamiliar with the handgun and turned to grab at the armed officer.

Although the zombies in movies possess great strength, their movements are stiff and their reactions are slow. In reality, the situation in a post-apocalyptic world is somewhat different; zombies are not only immensely strong, but their movements, while rigid, are also faster than those of ordinary people

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles

Before the words "support" were fully uttered, the zombie, having drained the blood of his colleague, returned once more, followed by a scream emanating from within the police car

The moment has fully matured, as Yuntu elbowed the armed police officer who had retreated to his side, twisting his wrist to seize the gun from the officer's hand, and then retreated another ten meters

The blood of ten individuals is sufficient for the zombies to evolve; further deaths hold little significance. Observing three special police officers hanging their guns on their chests, they directly took out handcuffs and approached the zombies that were undergoing mutation. Yuntu limped out from behind the security booth, speaking up for the first time to intervene.

I do not understand why the gun in my own hand cannot harm this zombie, yet it can be effective in the hands of that cripple. The last armed SWAT officer, unwilling to accept this, fired a few more shots at the zombie, but still saw no effect. In the end, he had no choice but to cautiously follow behind.

However fast it may be, it cannot surpass the elevator. By the time it follows that faint trace of scent down the stairs to the first floor, the presence of Yun Tu has vanished without a trace amidst the crowd.

He is still waiting, he must wait

The rose-shaped patterns on the woman's face had changed from purplish-red to deep black. Although she had not yet fully transformed and her fangs had not yet grown, killing her would be no different from killing an ordinary person. However, in just a few more seconds, a terrifying scene would soon unfold.

At this moment, it was instead the police officer who had been injured earlier who fled in utter terror! The escaping officer had also lost his gun and dared not to attack; he immediately returned to the police car to call for assistance

Upon witnessing the black zombie ceasing its movements after consuming the blood of ten different beings, remaining seated on the ground while howling upwards, Yuntu restarted his phone and activated the stopwatch function

Despite having a firearm in hand, Yun Tu did not fire again after the first shot, but instead exerted all his effort to escape

If you get any closer, the zombie's scythe hand will be able to scratch the back of the cloud map

Catch her! Catch her!

The cloud figure squatting in the elevator fired a shot, aimed from below, hitting precisely. The bullet passed through the weakest part of the zombie's body, the jaw, and traveled through the oral cavity directly into the cranial cavity

Seeing that the bullets could not penetrate, the leading special police officer seemed unable to believe his eyes. By the time he regained his senses, the mutated zombie had already killed one of his comrades and was approaching him step by step, changing magazines and firing indiscriminately as if the bullets were free, while simultaneously retreating at high speed.

The zombie, after coldly draining the blood of her husband and the security guard, once again looked around, its nostrils flaring as it quickly discovered the unmoving cloud figure at the end of the corridor

The gun fired with a bang

Wife, I am ... ...

Finally seeing the zombies' claws and fangs, the leading SWAT officer suddenly realized that the cloud map was not false, and decisively raised his gun to begin shooting

A series of gunshots rang out, causing the zombie to sway unsteadily, yet it suffered little damage. The advanced black zombie's body structure differs significantly from that of a human; its blood vessels no longer contain red blood, but instead flow with white corpse poison. Moreover, most parts of its body have become chitinous, rendering it nearly impervious to knives and bullets. The swaying was merely a result of the impact from the bullets; in fact, the bullets did not penetrate its body but were deflected and fell to the ground around it. The flowing substance is entirely white corpse poison, and most parts of its body have become chitinous, making it almost invulnerable to knives and bullets. The swaying was merely a result of the impact from the bullets; in fact, the bullets did not penetrate its body but were deflected and fell to the ground around it.

The consecutive hunting of two male doctors for their blood has caused the woman's height to surge to approximately 1.8 meters. Such a noticeable transformation within a mere minute, even if the incident occurred suddenly, was immediately detected by several other medical personnel who followed closely behind.

Injured a leg, yet the zombie's speed still surpasses that of the cloud map, ten meters, eight meters, five meters, three meters, two meters ... ...

Bang

You have watched too many zombie movies

The target has been fully identified!

After draining the blood of the first male doctor, the woman discarded the corpse and let out another shriek. Her figure suddenly shot up from approximately 1.6 meters to over 1.7 meters, making her clothes appear somewhat short and tight.

It is that woman, she has gone mad and has bitten to death more than ten people, shoot her in the head immediately! Seeing that three special police officers armed with submachine guns have arrived, some people on the second and third floors of a nearby building are shouting and even trying to throw things down to hit her

The police response was swift. A few minutes later, a fully armed team of three special police officers arrived at the scene, carrying submachine guns. It was evident from both their equipment and response speed that these three special police officers were significantly more capable than the three patrol officers from earlier.

The zombie had fully taken shape, and even with its mouth closed, it could not hide the fangs within. At this moment, Yuntu was assessing his own strength; defeating his opponent was no longer as easy as it had been two minutes ago. However, he still did not launch an attack. After making a throat-cutting gesture beside his neck with his hand, he chose to flee

The husband's voice echoed in the corridor, and at that moment, his wife, who had completely transformed into a zombie, hesitated for only a brief second upon hearing his voice, before lowering her head and fiercely biting into her husband's neck

Two male doctors, a security guard from the special care department, the husband of the zombie woman, the couple from earlier along with that boy, and these three police officers, making a total of exactly ten people

If possible, Cloud Map does not want to watch zombies kill people one after another; he also wants to be a savior. However, in reality, he is powerless. The only thing Cloud Map can do is to make himself stronger quickly, and for this, he must take risks

A humanoid monster has appeared near the People's Hospital, standing at a height of 2 meters, possessing immense strength, and showing no fear of firearms. Please report to headquarters immediately

The bullet struck the zombie squarely in the chest, and the two police officers beside it thought they could finally relax. However, before they could even catch their breath, they were shocked to discover that their colleague had been firmly embraced by the opponent.

The hatred value was once again successfully drawn to the cloud map, and the black zombie, which had sustained an injury at the joint, abandoned the target that was close by and limped towards the cloud map. Although it appeared to move somewhat slowly due to its injury, in reality, its speed was still faster than that of an ordinary person

... ...

Bathed in a rain of blood, the zombie once again locked onto a new target. The unsuspecting man was seized by it and, after only a brief struggle, his neck was bitten through.

The zombie, completely unfeeling, bit down on the woman's neck again as the police's rubber baton struck it repeatedly, while at the same time, its body continued to grow taller

Everything was within his calculations. The zombie, which missed the elevator by a second, immediately chose to take the stairs in pursuit. The upgraded zombie was very fast, but still much slower than the elevator. To match its rhythm and encourage it to pursue with full effort without letting up, Yuntu paused for a few seconds on the fifth and fifteenth floors, allowing it to see the hope of catching up to the target

Let me do it

Seeing that three submachine guns had arrived, the head of the hospital's security team boldly approached, once again confirming the claims of the people on the upper floors around.

"Fire, take them down first!"

Yet he did not act impulsively, remaining a detached observer, neither approaching nor fleeing.

The time has reached 6:40, and the sky outside is getting dark. A light rain, resembling blood, has begun to fall, much smaller than the downpour at noon. However, if you catch the raindrops in your hand and examine each drop closely, the color is thicker and more blood-like than yesterday. It is evident that the zombies are very sensitive to the scent of this blood rain; they have ceased to pursue the others who scattered and fled the hospital. After losing the target of Yun Tu, they instinctively move towards the entrance of the hospital.

Help!

After receiving the 110 emergency call, three police officers arrived in an electric patrol car. They saw a woman, who was as tall as two people, chasing another woman who was holding a child. Although the three officers were taken aback by the height of the assailant, they could not show fear while wearing their police uniforms. After exchanging glances, the three jumped out of the car, brandishing rubber batons, shouting loudly as they rushed forward to intervene.

The intensive care unit is located on the fourth floor, with security personnel stationed at the entrance. Due to the uncertainty regarding the transmissibility of the virus, entry is not permitted for outsiders, including family members

At this moment, the other male doctor was still being awkwardly pinned under her arm, unable to break free. The subsequent situation was something Yun Tu did not want to witness at all, waiting for him to turn his back and then look back again.

In times of peace, failing to save a life undoubtedly contravenes moral principles. At this moment, Yuntu only needs to rush over; with his understanding of zombies, he can resolve this zombie with his bare hands in just a few seconds, successfully saving the doctor who has not yet been injured

... ...

Standing in the family waiting area, Yun Tu lit a cigarette and saw the female patient being pushed into room 418. After confirming the room number, Yun Tu glanced at the wall clock, noting that the time had reached 6:20 PM.

The time was too short, and the people outside the hospital had not received any danger alerts. A Toyota car with its fog lights on stopped about twenty meters from the hospital entrance. A man and a woman got out of the car holding an umbrella, and the woman was also holding a boy who appeared to be around five or six years old.

At 6:30, a commotion erupted in the 418 special care ward as a woman dressed in a white shirt suddenly went mad, forcibly bursting out of the ward, with her arm still attached to the IV drip. Following closely behind were several doctors and nurses who rushed out after her

The sky has darkened, and the streetlights have been illuminated. Under the dim yellow light, scenes reminiscent of those in movies are unfolding on the streets, with an atmosphere of panic permeating the air

The rain this noon drenched at least tens of thousands of people in a city of hundreds of millions. A simple calculation of the cloud patterns indicates that in the next seven days, at least thousands of people will turn into zombies as a result. Those bitten by zombies will quickly become zombies themselves, creating a vicious cycle. Without waiting for seven days, the number of zombies will exceed one million. Moreover, in the next two days, even more dense blood rain will continue to fall, and some individuals with weaker constitutions may become infected even without being rained on. The arrival of the apocalypse is now unstoppable. The vicious cycle continues as those bitten by zombies will quickly turn into zombies, leading to an exponential increase in their numbers. Without waiting for seven days, the number of zombies will exceed one million. Furthermore, in the next two days, even denser blood rain will fall, and some individuals with weaker constitutions may become infected even without being rained on. The arrival of the apocalypse is now unstoppable.

After advancing, zombies will significantly enhance their sense of smell, so this time, Yuntu is not worried about losing track of the target

A shot struck just below the knee joint of the zombie, approximately half an inch down, and immediately white corpse poison began to flow out.

It is a zombie, extremely dangerous, please do not approach, otherwise you will lose your life for nothing

The zombie had chased down to the fallen special police officer, using the lives of others as stepping stones for itself. Yun Tu still had some remnants of conscience left; seeing the zombie bend down to grab the special police officer, he acted at a critical moment.

First cuff them before discussing!

The remaining two police officers drew their guns once again, but it was too late. The fully formed zombie no longer relied solely on biting; it swung its arms and clawed deep gashes into one officer's arm, sending the service pistol flying far away. The other officer suddenly fired his weapon, but the zombie, completely oblivious to pain, immediately lunged at him, its speed far surpassing that of an ordinary person

"Do not shoot, let me handle it!" The cloud figure limped towards the hospital.

Seeing the cloud pattern unexpectedly brought back the zombies that had left the hospital, the once tranquil hospital was thrown into chaos again, and everyone scattered in panic once more

Seeing the doctor's white coat stained red with blood, Yuntu's heart trembled once again, but soon calmed down.

The floor quickly turned into a vacuum, leaving no one else except for the cloud image and the two men controlled by zombies.

The development was almost entirely in line with the predictions of the cloud chart. Just as the woman rushed out of the ward and had not walked more than ten meters, two male doctors who were chasing after her caught hold of her arm. At that moment, the woman let out a strange cry, suddenly becoming incredibly strong. She clasped her hands together and directly lifted both burly male doctors at once. Then, disregarding everything, she bit down on the neck of one of the male doctors, allowing the two men to punch and kick her repeatedly, yet she would not let go.

It was chaotic; the entire floor was in disarray all at once. The other medical staff no longer dared to rush in to provide assistance, and they all fled outside.

With a gun in hand, although there is a significant disparity in physical strength between the two sides, given Yuntu's understanding of the zombie's body structure, eliminating this zombie is not difficult, but he has his own plan

A gun went off with a bang

In one breath, it rushed up to the 18th floor at full speed. Even though its physical abilities far exceeded those of a human, the injured black zombie was exhausted. At that moment, Yuntu in the elevator had already made ample preparations. As the elevator doors on the 18th floor slowly opened, the frantic zombie disregarded everything and lunged forward, wanting to shatter its opponent.

The woman beside her, in a state of utter terror, shouted as she turned and ran away from the hospital while holding her child. At that moment, a nearly two-meter tall zombie closely followed her, taking strides of over one meter each. Although its pace was not fast, it was quick, and within just a few dozen meters, it caught up with the woman holding the child

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ... ...

The leading special police officer glanced back at the cloud diagram, and at that moment, the zombie that had been sitting cross-legged on the ground completed its advancement and suddenly jumped up, its claw-like hands, sharp as scythes, lunging towards a nearby special police officer.

Upon seeing several corpses on the ground, the commanding special police officer issued a command

After draining the blood of that police officer, the height of the zombie no longer increased, but its width expanded once again. Its shirt suddenly tore apart, revealing a massive chest that swayed like two large papayas in the wind. At this moment, its face had already twisted and deformed, completely losing its human appearance. The fangs at the corners of its mouth were over 2 inches long, and the nails on its hands had transformed into sharp claws, extending 4 to 5 inches, resembling ten curved sickles.

The primary ordinary zombie lacks intelligence, yet it is highly sensitive to killing intent. After being reborn, Yuntu's body is quite frail, but killing intent emanates from a person's strong inner self. His action may not intimidate the dull-witted humans, but the zombies, sensitive to killing intent, immediately perceive its significance. Yuntu successfully attracted its hatred and turned to dive into the elevator
