Chapter 40: Arrival
The five people carefully sneaked into the nest. There was no zombie on the outer layer, leaving only an empty room and covered with dark red colonies.
Duan Lianfei saw a lava-colored silk thread between the colonies on the ground, nodded, attacked the people behind, and walked in along the silk thread.
"Uncle?" Ma Qianxue behind her called Duan Lianfei softly. The latter turned around and saw a hint of fear in the girl's eyes. She didn't say anything, but gave her an encouraging look, and Duan Lianfei continued to explore the way forward.
Bypassing several rooms, or where they were originally rooms, the surrounding environment became more and more humid, and the dark red colonies around seemed to be oozing out of blood, while the ground and walls were covered with lava-colored patterns, which looked extremely terrifying.
Entering through a small door-like mouth, several people found that in the hall in front, thousands of cocoons of one person were placed horizontally and vertically. The thick surface and thin shell seemed to be wrapped in something. These cocoons were linked by brown-red channels like giant blood vessels. There seemed to be magma-like liquid flowing inside. Several people carefully crouched through the cocoons.
In front of it, it seemed that the center of the entire nest was the rich red mist plate next to a giant organ that looked like a heart two or three meters in diameter. The beating "heart" emitted a regular vibration, and it seemed that the arrival of several people was completely ignored.
"Puff~"
The cocoon closest to the heart suddenly cracked, a tender white arm stretched out, and a slurry plate of liquid flowed down on the arm, and a thin figure crawled out of the cocoon. The moment it touched the air, the muscles on the body began to expand, the skin on the surface was stretched out by the muscles, revealing the gray body. The rich red fog around it came up like a moth to the fire. The figure was wrapped around the body by the red fog, and the red fog quickly condensed, turning into a certain kind of fungus - turning into a red fog zombie.
But it was not over yet. The "heart" suddenly beat twice, and bright lava liquid spurted out from it, just watering behind the zombie. The liquid suddenly became sticky, and it was "hugging" the zombie like an amoeba in its eyes, dimming. As the zombie slowly moved forward, the debris on the surface of the body shattered, and an enhanced zombie wrapped in dark red keratinized scales walked out of it. It seemed that I had noticed Duan Lianfei and the others, and walked towards the few people stiffly.
"It seems very powerful," Li Hang made a shocked voice.
"You all retreat," Duan Lianfei said solemnly, "This guy,..." His eyes were fixed on the zombie that was slowly approaching. Duan Lianfei felt his heartbeat accelerate, "He is definitely better than all the zombies we have ever seen."
Furious arrival
After the core of the nest feels danger, it will awaken a zombie that is cultivated separately. As soon as this zombie is born, it can obtain perfect strengthening of the virus, that is, the second-level strength of human beings. According to the degree of threat considered by the core, if it is greater than a threshold, it will instill the original essence of the organs. This nest, that is, the essence of the brutality, directly greatly enhances the zombie's ability, and is called the arrival of brutality.
"So this kind of thing has been cultivated in the nest so early?" Duan Lianfei murmured in a low voice, then turned around and said, "Li Hang, lend me a weapon."
"Oh, OK," Li Hang handed Duan Lianfei the hammer and axe in his hand. Duan Lianfei, who has no fighting skills, is obviously more suitable to use this heavy weapon to exert his strength advantages than using the insect blade.
Seeing the people behind him retreating nearly ten steps, Duan Lianfei turned around, without hesitation, sprinted, swung his hammer and axe to hit the zombie's neck.
The hammer and axe slashed the zombie's neck and made a loud muffled sound. The zombie flew out like a kite with a broken string.
The moment it was knocked away, the gap between the scales extended outward from the point where it was hit, and it seemed that the flesh and blood in its body turned into hot lava at this moment.
Duan Lianfei seemed to have noticed the hammer and axe crossed in front of him. At the next moment, the zombie that had been knocked away suddenly disappeared, and the black shadow swam past and had already arrived in front of Duan Lianfei. The front paw of his right arm was on the hammer and axe in Duan Lianfei's hand.
Duan Lianfei only saw the zombies suddenly appear in front of him. A huge force came from his hand, and his body was pushed out several meters in reverse. He held the axe in one hand and stabilized his body. However, he saw that the zombie had pounced on him again. He didn't even have time to pull out the hammer axe on the ground. He stepped on the ground with his right foot, and jumped up nearly three meters, grabbed the corrupt ceiling with both hands, and avoided the zombie's biting.
He kicked his feet on the ceiling, dived down, pushed away the zombies in front of him, grabbed the hammer and axe on the ground and followed it with an axe.
The hammer and axe did not break through the red scales on the surface of the zombie, but the body was cut into a piece by the hammer and axe. Duan Lianfei released the hammer and axe and then swung two punches. The zombie's body was beaten back, and Duan Lianfei picked up the hammer and axe and turned around and slashed it.
The zombie was knocked away by a hammer and axe. Duan Lianfei clearly saw the zombie spinning in the air, and seemed to have stepped on the air and rushed towards him.
The membrane of the hammer and axe subconsciously activated, and the membrane seemed to be completely different. It was instantly broken by the zombies. Duan Lianfei was hit by the zombies behind him.
Flying five meters across, he hit a cocoon. Duan Lianfei stabbed the "semi-finished" zombies in the cocoon with the tail end of the hammer axe, and he pounced on the right to avoid the zombies rushing towards him.
The zombie rushed around, smashed two cocoons in a row and tripped by the third one. The upper body happened to have an intimate touch with what turned out to be a load-bearing pillar.
The mucus on the surface of the load-bearing column stuck to the zombie's face, but it obviously didn't care at all. When it turned around, it left two afterimages in Duan Lianfei's eyes, with almost no gap. It had already arrived in front of Duan Lianfei's face again, and grabbed the scales outside Duan Lianfei's ribs with both claws.
Duan Lianfei felt a black look in front of him, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and a sensation of tearing came from his shoulders, and a large number of tentacles emerged from it. Duan Lianfei supported the ground with one foot, resisting the reverse inertia, causing him to be fully loaded, and blood surged. Duan Lianfei forced himself to retreat and hit the zombie in the face with a punch.
I don’t know if it was because of the blood rushing, Duan Lianfei heard the hallucination roar again-"That’s it! Turn them into powder!"
The heavy bass circled in Duan Lianfei's mind. He was completely focused on the zombie and did not notice it at all. The continuous huge force of his hands made him fall into a state of intoxication. His unruly fists kept swinging out and smashing them randomly on the zombie.
When the irregular scales on the zombie's body were knocked so hard that it was impossible to see it, the tentacles on both sides of his arms had expanded to almost four times the thickness of his thighs.
