Chapter 2, Violent Killings

As soon as the lock was opened, the security door suddenly burst open, forcefully colliding with the coffee table. The immense force pushed the one-meter-long, half-meter-wide coffee table back several feet, finally coming to a stop against the wall.

Is the whole world like this? Lin Shiyu's face was pale

Awaiting the end of days

A middle-aged woman was walking her dog in the community when her docile poodle suddenly turned aggressive, its fur standing on end like steel needles, and it lunged at her with a howl. Initially, she thought it was just being playful and opened her arms to embrace it, but she quickly realized in horror that her pet had bitten down on her throat!

The grotesque, decaying corpse outside the door roared as it lunged in, drool dripping from its sharp teeth. Just as it was about to pounce on Lin Chao, its body suddenly collapsed!

Roar

Roar

Bang

"Why haven't we been infected?" Lin Shiyu suddenly thought of this and asked with some surprise

Lin Chao finally felt relieved

The only difference is that the infected zombies in the movie are incredibly weak, almost akin to toys. Not only are their movements sluggish, but they also do not evolve and possess very little intelligence. They rely entirely on exaggerated and grotesque makeup to scare people. As long as one is not concerned about their unsightly appearance, they can actually be quite easily killed

Suddenly, a terrified scream echoed through the community

As the skull exploded, the corpse finally ceased its movements.

Lin Shiyu instinctively took two steps back and said nervously, "Such a loud noise shouldn't be from the neighbor next door, could it be..."

I understand. Lin Chao gave up on the futile explanation and returned to his own room

The sharp, searing teeth fiercely pierced into her throat, and she felt a boiling liquid sliding down her entire neck. She stared wide-eyed in terror, unable to believe what she was seeing in her arms.

zombie

Lin Chao had anticipated this long ago. After glancing at the chaotic scene in the community, he tightly closed the window, drew the curtains, and covered the lights to avoid attracting the attention of the decaying corpses

Lin Shiyu glanced over and was immediately taken aback

Only after seeing that there were no other corpses around did Lin Chao feel relieved. He immediately went to the coffee table in front of the sofa, moved it to the back of the door to brace against the wall, and then gripped the iron rod tightly, gently pulling open the lock behind the door

Lin Chao's expression was grave as he approached the peephole behind the door. A decayed and hideous face appeared in the peephole, with blood dripping from its mouth, clearly having just bitten someone

With each forceful strike of the stick, the decaying corpse attempted to struggle to its feet several times. However, each time it lifted its head, Lin Chao would bring it down violently, crashing it against the coffee table, shattering the glass surface. Ice shards stuck to its forehead, causing a gruesome mess of flesh and blood.

Knock knock knock

The throat was bitten through, the skull fell down like a ball, blood gushed out from the neck, splattering everywhere, adding a vivid red to the darkness of the night

He grasped the iron rod and approached the door, the tremendous sound of banging on the door and a deep growl emanating from outside grew louder as he drew near, as if the creatures outside had caught the scent of his blood.

Lin Chao wrapped his palm in a black garbage bag and felt around the chest of the corpse, but did not find anything. Slightly disappointed, he withdrew his hand, threw the corpse out the door, and scooped up the brain matter from the coffee table, pouring it over the body.

Moreover, this is just the initial stage. After some time, the viruses lurking within them will undergo a second transformation. At that point, their power will surge once again, and some special corpses will even evolve a rudimentary form of intelligence, enabling them not only to run but also to jump and evade obstacles.

On the street outside the community, cars were overturned on the road, and explosive sparks were igniting on the tires. Everyone was in a state of panic, running chaotically, with cries, screams, and roars echoing everywhere

Lin Shiyu did not attempt to, for she had already believed Lin Chao's words in her heart. She asked with uncertainty: "Xiao Chao, how do you know these things?"

Lin Shiyu heard various chaotic shouts, and she hurried over in panic, asking, "What is happening outside?"

After completing these tasks, Lin Chao locked the door again and found some fabric to seal the gaps in the door, in order to prevent the wandering corpses from detecting the scent of living humans here

Lin Shiyu let out a light hum and said, "You must have been deceived by unscrupulous merchants, my dear brother. When the doomsday you mentioned does not arrive in a few hours, you must remember this lesson, do you understand?"

The pointer slowly rotates

The decaying corpse was completely unaware of pain, its arms flailing wildly, inadvertently brushing against Lin Chao's thigh. The immense force caused Lin Chao's body to sway slightly, and the iron rod in his hand fell rapidly.

The individuals who are infected first are predominantly the elderly, children, and those with underlying health conditions, as well as some young people who have been frail since childhood. Conversely, ninety percent of healthy young individuals are capable of developing immunity against the viruses present in the air. After all, the virus spreads globally, and its concentration is diluted countless times. The vaccines within the human body are sufficient to withstand the diluted virus until adaptation occurs

Lin Chao lightly coughed and said, "Well, it's a long story..."

What is going on here? Lin Shiyu was somewhat confused

Lin Chao understood that in the early stages, the intelligence of the decaying corpses was not high, comparable to that of an infant, possessing only the instinctual desire to feed, which is why he would take advantage of this.

Lin Chao shook his head. The military remains a powerful presence in later generations, but in the early stages, it disregarded many civilians. After all, this disaster was global in nature and came without any warning. The military was equally chaotic and required a period of consolidation before it could stabilize.

Lin Shiyu saw the door being locked again and, still in shock, said: "Just now, that seemed to be Uncle Zhang from next door. How could he have turned into this? It's just like those zombies in the movies, so terrifying..."

Lin Chao opened his eyes and saw that there was nothing unusual about his body, immediately letting out a sigh of relief. He went to the window and looked down.

Its foot was tripped by the coffee table

Lin Chao smiled and said: "Most of those infected are the elderly and children; generally, young people have strong immunity and are unlikely to be infected"

Lin Chao found it amusing; it must be said that the old times were very interesting. People would imagine all sorts of bizarre things, among which were biohazard films. The plots in these films bear an astonishing resemblance to today's reality, all involving a mysterious virus that leads to the apocalypse.

I see... Lin Shiyu suddenly realized, "Ever since I was affected by that experiment, my body's resistance has greatly increased, and I hardly catch colds or get sick. Although my body is still that of a child, my resistance is not inferior to that of an adult."

Ah

Lin Chaowei frowned slightly, as he had not covered the door gap with fabric in advance, resulting in these scent-sensitive corpses detecting the presence of humans here

The world is completely in chaos

I hope my body is strong enough to avoid infection... Lin Chao silently prayed

Seeing it tripped over the coffee table, Lin Chao immediately raised the iron rod in his hand and struck fiercely at its head

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In a short period of time, the army has no time to attend to us. Lin Chao stared into her eyes and said: We can only rely on ourselves to survive. With this food, we can at least last for two months

And at that time, the corpse had once again undergone transformation

At that moment, the door outside was suddenly banged on, as if the entire door was about to be broken open

Lin Chao saw that she was safe and sound, not infected by the virus, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He then lifted a corner of the curtain and said, "Look."

Lin Chaoqing sighed and said, "The apocalypse I spoke of has arrived; these people have been infected by the virus and have turned into flesh-eating corpses. From now on, we must fight against them to survive"

A similar scene occurred in several other locations within the community, where a young woman pushing a baby stroller was seen lunging at a male security guard at the entrance, biting him frantically. Her strength was astonishing, pinning the guard to the ground, and no matter how he struggled, he could not break free, ultimately being bitten to death.

Lin Shiyu's face was pale as she said, "What do you want to do?"

With a loud bang, the head of the decaying corpse immediately exploded, splattering a mixture of red and white brain matter all over the ground, which stood out starkly against the gray-brown wooden floor

These true corpses possess strength and speed that are three times that of an ordinary person. Their bodily systems are paralyzed, yet the virus acts like a stimulant, greatly enhancing their bones and muscles. Once an ordinary person is pounced upon, they are utterly unable to break free and can only be killed alive

What should we do now, wait for the military to rescue us? Lin Shiyu couldn't help but ask

With the speed of the virus's spread, it will cover every corner of the city in the blink of an eye, leaving no time for people to react. This city will descend into chaos, as all the neon lights gradually lose their color, transforming into a forever dark and cold ruin!

Yet the reality is harsh

Lin Chao nodded and said, "If you don't believe it, just make a long-distance call and you'll know."

At this moment, the community is in chaos, with many people desperately hiding, while those pursuing them are mostly elderly individuals out for an evening stroll and children playing on the community lawn. They appear to be frenzied, biting anyone they encounter, their expressions grotesque and terrifying, with eyes turned white and devoid of pupils. The skin on their faces resembles that of a toad, covered in numerous raised bumps, a manifestation of an excess of toxins that cannot be expelled.

A decomposed corpse with intelligence and one without intelligence are entirely two different concepts

In her stroller, a baby with bulging veins on its face, a grim expression, and sharp teeth growing on both sides of its mouth was crawling out of the stroller...
