Chapter 2, Strange

Of course, this is a relatively ideal state

Hello! Sir, who requires offerings, are you still there?

"Grass, a normal zombie would never do this."

The safety has been disengaged, and the bolt has been pulled back

Now, if he dismembers the corpse on the ground and then throws it outside, will the strange occurrences cease to appear?

If the firearm is sufficiently aimed, it can achieve a headshot and eliminate the opponent instantly

You are angry, and anger is the bait for all ferocious species, which will attract them

First, he quickly cleaned the house, discarding all unnecessary clutter to create ample space for movement

The power of the firearm is still quite satisfying to people

But he has fire, a knife, a gun, and twenty-two bullets

The corpse of Old Zhou on the ground has already stood up in a bizarre posture, facing away from Xu Le

Xu Le quickly shut his mouth, took a deep breath, and then swiftly adjusted his mental state

Then, with a sound of bones breaking and skin tearing, its arm unexpectedly extended like a tentacle

As soon as this idea emerged, his thoughts became somewhat chaotic

Xu Le re-examined the firearms, daggers, and also reorganized the surrounding environment

A living corpse should be something similar to a zombie, but influenced by the power of ancient sounds, they are stronger and faster than zombies

At the same time, it seemed that something in Xu Le's mind was reconnecting.

Although dirty, this can help keep his fingers somewhat dry, preventing excessive hand sweat from affecting his ability to pull the bolt.

Xu Le was dumbfounded

Looking at the corpse, his breathing became slightly heavier

No one responded, but Xu Le did not lose heart and continued to inquire:

Is this it

It is too late, do not panic, it can be killed

Especially the dagger and the firearm, these two items are of great importance

During the distortion process, one must not approach the anomalies, as they may be contaminated by the ancient sound's energy. Once contaminated, even if one returns, they will be killed by the guards.

As he watched the zombie charge towards him, Xu Le released his arms, delivered a kick to the opponent's chest, squinted his eyes, and aimed the gun forward.

His shoulders trembled slightly, not out of fear this time, but because adrenaline was surging.

Standing once again before the corpse, Xu Le tightened his grip on the short sword in his hand

This time, Xu Le understood clearly; the other party's speech had a peculiar accent similar to a dialect, which was quite strange

Bang

Looking at the corpse before him, Xu Le suddenly felt a wave of dizziness.

A corpse is located within the safe zone, and the time of death has exceeded 4 hours. The corpse will become a Level 1 anomaly in 1 minute

He now needs to seize the limited time he has to prepare

What the hell ... ? ... It feels like it's about to be smeared on my face, can we have something from the living world instead ?

In the event that the bizarre power completely surpasses this level, with physical strength reaching that of a lion or tiger from a past life, or possessing strange abilities akin to peculiar entities.

His fingers trembled slightly, and Xu Le immediately touched the charcoal ash at the edge of the bed

This is the signal that the body sends to him, indicating that it is ready for battle

Drink

Well, it is actually not that bad. Some problems should not be overthought, as it only adds to the worries. Moreover, even if my strength reaches the level of a lion or tiger, with just one slide tackle, I might be able to take it down. The netizens are so confident; can I really be worse than this group of keyboard warriors

At this moment, the sound of the wind and the chirping of cicadas outside seems to amplify in my ears, resembling the roar of some wild beast

The muzzle flared with fire as the bullet effortlessly penetrated the opponent's forehead

Xu Le first fell silent, followed by anger and an outburst

After his breathing gradually calmed, Xu Le composed himself and continued to think

Xu Le was momentarily taken aback, but then he quickly regained his composure

This is likely to be caught, and it may lead to a downfall

Darkness itself signifies danger, making it even less likely to escape

He then revealed a smile that was even more unsightly than crying

Then... ...

Call!

Fire, dagger, gun

What must be faced next are the two level 1 anomalies that will appear after 10 minutes and at 0:00

Gua, are you still looking for me? But you have no offerings, how should I help you?

Alright, is it really just a bit stronger

Xu Le glanced at Old Zhou's corpse and let out a slight sigh of conflict

Taking this opportunity, Xu Le raised the firearm in his hand

Still, no one answered, and he did not dare to turn back, for he saw that the corpse not far away seemed to move slightly

Be prepared, there should be opportunities!

A string of text that makes Xu Le look like a clown.

This is not cowardice; it is a form of rational endurance

Old Zhou, who had already turned into a living corpse, let out a low growl at Xu Le, as the stench of decay began to permeate the room

After the national essence emerged, the flames before me immediately began to twist, and the strange fire formed a series of circular characters.

The exterior of the house is an endless darkness

The zombie's head burst open like a suddenly exploded watermelon, splattering red and white matter all over the ground

The more Xu Leyue spoke, the quieter his voice became, until in the end he could hardly hear himself.

In an ideal scenario, if the so-called Level 1 anomalies are comparable to normal adult males or slightly stronger than average men

Moreover, the other party has already charged forward

What needs to be done now is to place the muzzle against the opponent's face

The flames surrounding the corpse began to dance

Due to the excessively strange posture, Xu Le even heard several sounds of bones breaking

There is no reference point to determine exactly how fast or how strong it is, and Xu Le has never seen it either

Before the strange occurrence could arrive, whispers once again filled Xu Le's ears

As he gazed at the writhing flames before him, he knew that the time was drawing near

And this person on the ground, his name is Old Zhou

Xu Le's heart nearly jumped to his throat

Among the suddenly emerged memories, there are some related to the knowledge of distortion

Click!

Xu Le felt that this guy ... might be a bit stronger than a zombie

The strength of the zombie is immense, and this resistance can hardly last for a few seconds

If it does not work, then the dagger can still make a final strike

There is one minute left, and I hope the prepared items will be useful

The oil bottle has shattered, and the oil has seeped into the crevices of the wooden board. Xu Le poked at it with a dagger a few times, but it was too exhausting and ineffective

Since he does not want to sit idly by, he needs to make selective moves.

The strange entity lacks intelligence, and therefore there are no specific references for its strength

Xu Le nodded, adjusted his breathing, and restored his strength

He did not push the corpse out, watching the other party mutate, prepared to respond, which is at least much better than a surprise attack in the dark

What are tributes

At least for now, he has a body that is relatively normal, aside from the injury on his chest

The strange distortions of human corpses are more than eighty percent living corpses

What the hell! What kind of nonsense is this? It just goes on and on

Isn't this just a vivid resurrection from the dead in a past life

How should he respond

At this moment, Old Zhou's eyeballs had completely turned white, and his almost reflective nails served as a reminder to Xu Le

It is known from memory that ordinary humans find it very difficult to resist the undead with bare hands.

Yes, it has really moved

Old Zhou's corpse suddenly twisted; such a 180-degree rotation would inevitably break his neck and cervical vertebrae, leading to death. But what if he was already dead to begin with?

With a "thud," the claw was pinned to the wooden bed by Xu Le using a dagger

All strange beings will taste fear, and your fear will attract them

Then the question arises, in the face of the strange

A strong ringing in his ears filled the auditory canal, and the vision before him resembled a swirling spiral rainbow, causing him to suddenly vomit

If a human corpse is not cremated in a timely manner and is exposed to an environment with insufficient light, it will begin to undergo distortion after 4 hours

To this end, as an outline writer, Xu Le temporarily devised a battle plan

Without time to be surprised, Xu Le grabbed the dagger at hand and swiftly dodged the claw of the corpse

Fortunately, Xu Le's psychological quality is relatively good. After making preparations, although there is fear, there is also a certain degree of extreme excitement.

Or rather... how should he survive

Xu Le took a deep breath; he had surrounded the corpse with a bonfire. He was unsure whether this would slightly hinder the opponent's movements, but he did it anyway

Check the weapons available for use

Anger? It does not exist. I have never been angry, truly

There is a sense of guilt, accompanied by some memories, yet I cannot recall the specific reasons for this guilt

Old Zhou opened his mouth, and amidst the brittle sound of bones breaking, his sharp teeth were prominently displayed

The house is in a dilapidated state, with 10 minutes remaining.

Xu Le is unsure whether he can be considered a ruthless person, but when it comes to taking decisive actions for his own safety, he is resolute.

Although it is unclear how he was transferred from the ICU to here, he does not wish to disclose that so soon.

Fortunately, he has gained some peculiar insights in his mind

The dagger is completely incapable of dismemberment, handling the distortion requires a high temperature of 1500 degrees, the firewood temperature is insufficient, where is the kerosene, where is the kerosene? Damn! Which idiot spilled this?

This question caused Xu Le to fall silent once again

Reason and patience

Just when Xu Le thought the zombie would leap through the flames towards him, the zombie instead stopped in place and twisted its arms.

After settling his emotions, Xu Le's expression gradually became serious as he slowly began to speak

If there is sufficient light, then this time will be extended to 72 hours

With the resources at hand, it is absolutely impossible to repair the house under such urgent time and conditions

Given his current physical condition, if a bizarre individual possesses strength exceeding that of a 60-kilogram wolf and harbors hostility towards him, then he is almost certain to meet a fatal outcome

He then thought of another point, that the corpses on the ground might distort into something strange

Xu Le stepped on the hilt of the dagger, pressing down on the arm of the living corpse. This not only suppressed the opponent's attack but also fixed the opponent's trajectory of movement
