Chapter 4: Going Out for an Adventure

Gada... Zheng Xi cautiously opened the door. The sky outside had already darkened. They said that those zombies, apart from their sense of smell, had significantly weakened other four senses. Therefore, wearing this black outfit should make me invisible... As for the mutated creatures, they also mentioned that they only appear in densely populated areas...

However, attacking the head of a mutated zombie will not cause fatal damage; only significant trauma to its body can lead to death. Experts have also discovered that this virus results in two outcomes: one is the zombies described above, and the other is powerful mutated creatures. These creatures possess senses similar to those of ordinary humans, and they have a weakness—pain perception. However, both types of beings share a common trait: they continuously seek to feed, making them extremely dangerous, and both carry the virus. In comparison, the number of zombies discovered so far is thousands of times greater than that of mutated creatures, and they only appear in densely populated areas.

Health Points: 15

Status: Mutation

Race: Unknown

Wow, it feels like the experience is about to be gained! Zheng Xi, seeing this unsuspecting zombie, deliberately observed the surrounding environment and found that the nearest zombie was also fifty meters away, which greatly increased his impulse to kill this zombie!

Then, the mouse began to move down again, and a line of text appeared: This is a new unknown virus. After the virus enters the host's body, it will destroy the host's original cells, thereby accelerating the host's metabolism, and it will cause varying degrees of damage to the brain, creating a strong urge for the host to eat.

After resting for a moment, Zheng Xi faced the corpse once again, but... the nausea persisted. After another moment, Zheng Xi finally managed to feel his way down the stairs. After four bouts of vomiting, he finally stopped, although he was unsure whether it was because there was nothing left in his stomach or if he could truly refrain from vomiting. He certainly did not want to vomit at the moment of confronting the zombie. Zheng Xi finally managed to feel his way down the stairs.

Level: 1

At this point, Zheng Xi let out a sigh, recalling the inability to contact his parents, and he began to feel regret. However, he ultimately decided not to dwell on this thought. His parents, having known many officials, would surely evacuate together with him and the others... After comforting himself, he ate two more bags of cookies and drank a bottle of energy drink, then Zheng Xi rummaged through the cabinets.

He decisively and quickly opened Baidu, clicked on the news section, and saw such a piece of information. Alien virus invasion? The government reminds the public not to go out easily and to wait for rescue at home. Upon seeing this headline, Zheng Xi couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, are we supposed to wait at home to die? Who the hell is coming to save us?" Having watched countless zombie movies, Zheng Xi understood very well that he either had to find a military base himself or wait to die.

Suddenly, Zheng Xi's mind conjured up a series of creatures resembling lickers, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end. After staring blankly at the computer for a while, he began to eat the remaining half of the bread. So much time had passed, and Zheng Xi finally accepted that he could probably survive relying on this system.

Sand ... ... sand ... ... sand ... ... '' After taking several steps continuously, Zheng Xi slowly approached the zombie, ten meters! Eight meters! Six meters! Four meters! When he was only two meters away from the zombie, Zheng Xi gripped the knife with both hands, aimed directly at its head, and then, with a swift motion, slashed down!

Status: Normal

Name: Zombie

Illustrated guide

However, it is fortunate that, according to expert evidence, being bitten does not necessarily lead to infection; this is largely related to an individual's physical condition. Moreover, not all zombies undergo mutation after feeding. Generally speaking, it only enhances the speed and strength of the zombies to some extent. However, the sensory perception of those lower-level zombies becomes significantly weakened, with the exception of their sense of smell, which becomes much stronger, making them highly sensitive to fresh blood. To kill an ordinary zombie, one only needs to strike the head.

Mobility ability: 0.5 (can exert 100% of all capabilities)

Suddenly, Zheng Xi discovered a corpse lying on the third floor, the head still intact, with an expression that was nearly twisted, suggesting that it had been frightened by something terrifying before death. Moreover, the internal organs had already been gnawed away, and only white bones remained of the arms and thighs, leaving behind just a head and a skeleton. Although Zheng Xi had seen zombies at noon, this was the first time he had observed a corpse at such close range. Without hesitation, he vomited; it was not that Zheng Xi lacked composure, but rather that the scene was simply too disgusting.

Arriving at the bottom of his building, Zheng Xi cautiously scanned the surroundings. There were quite a few severed limbs and hands on the ground. However, in his line of sight, a solitary zombie was crouched there, slowly gnawing on a dead dog. The sound of its chewing was loud, reminiscent of someone who hadn't eaten in eight hundred years.

Will a bite not lead to infection? It seems that apart from having a strong vitality and looking quite disgusting, there isn't much else to it... However, there seem to be mutated zombies! And what are these mutated creatures? In the game "虐杀原形" (Prototype), it seems there are only mutated zombies...

Note: Even if they are of the same kind during their lifetime, they will still hunt each other. After the host has consumed food, the genes will undergo immediate mutations. Observations indicate that if different species are consumed consecutively, the genes of the consumed organisms will combine with the host's genes, resulting in severe genetic mutations. However, if the host continuously consumes the same species, the genetic mutations will stabilize significantly and develop in a singular direction

However, this is just a small city, so Zheng Xi probably wouldn't be so unfortunate as to encounter it... After stepping out, looking at a staircase that was eerily quiet, Zheng Xi quietly descended step by step, with a flashlight tucked away in his pocket along with some books, and a watermelon knife held in his right hand, descending step by step.

"It's really disgusting," Zheng Xi complained, wiping his mouth and planning to rest for a while in place.

"Breathe! Take a deep breath and relax your muscles! Relax! Relax! If you can't kill it, just run; this creature is not very mobile!" Zheng Xi surprisingly told himself not to be nervous, and even made a few swinging motions with the watermelon knife in the air. He wanted to slice directly into the zombie's brain, and if it worked, he hoped to kill a few more tonight.

He found a set of pure black clothing, and casually took along a half-meter long watermelon knife that he used to cut watermelons in the past, a flashlight, and a bag of cookies, then pushed open the big door. Based on the experience points displayed in that system, Zheng Xi estimated that he must kill zombies, and he was also very much looking forward to what he would gain after leveling up

Fortunately, this time, with a certain level of mental fortitude, after venting some feelings, I stopped and sat on a step upstairs, leaning against the wall. The doors had all been closed, and although there might be some faint sounds of collision from within, Zheng Xi need not worry about those zombies with severely damaged brains and diminished intelligence escaping.
