Chapter VIII Native Species
This operation was not as simple as cleaning the building. Duan Fei had to walk 16 kilometers alone, and come back after getting the source seed.
An hour's journey away, although the walking corpses on the street during the day have basically dissipated, there are still some lonely zombies wandering around.
For these scattered corpses, try to avoid Duan Fei as much as possible. If not, with Duan Fei's evolved body, it's not a problem to deal with a few of them. But walking corpses are secondary, and there is something more dangerous than walking corpses, and that is "strange beasts".
The doomsday strikes, not only humans, but also all kinds of animals will also be infected by viruses and become alien beasts.
No matter how docile the animal is, as long as it is infected by a virus and turns into a strange beast, it will become extremely bloodthirsty and violent. They cannibalize people and eat walking corpses, and their strength is stronger than these low-level walking corpses. to more than double.
Just imagine, a dog's sense of smell is about 40 times that of ordinary humans. Once it becomes a strange beast and its sense of smell is strengthened again, how lethal it will be.
Or a cat with exceptional jumping ability and speed, after becoming a strange beast and re-evolving, there are no walls or obstacles that can stop it.
These animals are very common pets in some cities. When they become alien beasts, they can become absolutely deadly monsters. And the scariest thing among them is not others, but that kind of group living creature.
Such as mice, such as ants.
When they come out in groups to look for food, there is nothing that can stop them. Wherever they go, not to mention humans, almost all moving things will become their food.
Of course, Duan Fei couldn't be so lucky that he encountered a beast horde the first time he went out. However, encountering any strange beast, even a kitten or puppy, would cause him great trouble, which was the last thing Duan Fei wanted to see.
Walking fast on the street, although the sun is shining now, Duan Fei can still meet some walking corpses along the way. However, with Duan Fei's careful dodging, it is easy to bypass them.
The eyesight of low-level walking corpses can only see things within a range of two meters. As long as Duan Fei hides in a hidden place, they will basically not notice their existence based on their eyesight. However, compared to vision, low-level walking corpses only need to rely on sound and smell to detect enemies.
Knowing the weaknesses of low-level zombies, Duan Fei had already made preparations, so he didn't have to worry about these zombies finding him.
Time passed slowly, and Duan Fei was getting closer and closer to the tiankeng.
As the distance approached, Duan Fei gradually found that the number of wandering corpses began to increase slowly. At first it was just a single walking corpse, but now, some small groups of walking corpses have begun to appear.
To deal with these dense walking corpses, Duan Fei will use some stone cans and other things to make noise in the distance, so that they can be attracted to them.
To deal with these low-level walking corpses with an IQ of 0, this simple method can actually play a big role.
After bypassing the walking corpses, Duan Fei finally came to the front of the tiankeng.
He hid in the gap between two huge concrete-like walls and looked forward. In his field of vision, the familiar "Huijia Supermarket" was gone, replaced by a huge circular pothole with a diameter of about twenty meters.
Around the tiankeng, there were countless black carbon-like objects scattered, and bursts of black-gray smoke emerged from above, and then condensed into a stream, rushing straight into the sky.
Seeing this scene, the scene of this meteorite falling could not help appearing in Duan Fei's mind.
The red meteorite fell from the sky with extremely strong flames and impact, and hit the ground directly from the top of the supermarket. The huge impact completely collapsed the entire supermarket building in an instant. The extremely high temperature of the meteorite itself quickly ignited all the surrounding commodities, and finally turned into a raging fire.
The fire burned all night, burning everything in it to ashes. Finally, it became the ruins in front of me.
After carefully observing the tiankeng in front of him, Duan Fei saw that in the center of the tiankeng, there was an irregularly shaped crystalline object emitting a faint light in the sunlight.
His eyes were fixed, and a fiery color suddenly surged in his heart.
Presumably that is the source species, the source of biological evolution.
The moment Duan Fei saw the source seed, he almost couldn't help rushing up to snatch it, but reason still prevented him from doing so.
Source species are the basis for the evolution of walking corpses, and their importance goes without saying. It is not that simple to snatch the source seed, and there must be extremely high danger hidden in the dark pit.
Sure enough, from the tiankeng, low-pitched roars continued to reach Duan Fei's ears. In his field of vision, a walking corpse slowly appeared.
Previously, Duan Fei's attention was all focused on the source seed, and he didn't notice the walking corpses around the source seed at all.
At this time, Duan Fei looked at it carefully and observed it. As time passed, he found that this walking corpse was no different from an ordinary low-level walking corpse in terms of size, appearance, or pace.
But because it turned its back to him and didn't turn around from the beginning to the end, Duan Fei couldn't see its face clearly. It was also for this reason that he hid in the dark and never dared to act rashly.
Time passed slowly, and Duan Fei's doubts in his heart became more and more serious.
No matter from which aspect, this is just an extremely ordinary walking corpse, and it is impossible to be a mutant walking corpse. And today is only the second day of the doomsday, how could there be mutant walking corpses.
However, from just now until now, this walking corpse has been wandering aimlessly, but it never showed its face, which made Duan Fei suspicious.
It, is it unintentional? Still intentional? Or is it all just my own paranoia?
Just when Duan Fei was undecided, he suddenly discovered that this walking corpse had reached the edge of the sinkhole at some point. It raised its hands high, raised its head towards the top of the tiankeng, and let out bursts of deep roars.
Duan Fei's eyes lit up when he saw this picture, and the doubts in his heart dissipated instantly.
It is definitely just an ordinary low-level walking corpse, and the reason why it appears here must be that it accidentally fell into the sinkhole.
Human beings live in groups. Although they become walking corpses, some basic characteristics of being human will not change.
Although these low-level walking corpses have no IQ, they are creatures that only know how to eat. But they also rarely have the nature of a gathering place.
A large group of walking corpses gather together to prey, and then have their own territory and habitat. This has nothing to do with IQ, it's biological instinct.
And the walking corpse in front of him fell into the tiankeng. If it wanted to find its own group of corpses and return to the gathering place, it had to climb up from the tiankeng, so it made such an action.
After knowing it in his mind, Duan Fei held the spear tightly in his hand, and slowly gathered the strength of his whole body to the peak.
Relying on his level 3 agility, it takes about 2 seconds to rush from here to the sinkhole. A blow that gathers all the strength of the whole body should be enough to instantly kill this walking corpse.
Ending the battle in as short a time as possible would avoid making a lot of noise, otherwise, it would attract other walking corpses, which was something he didn't want to see.
The attack was only for a moment, and when Duan Fei's whole body's spiritual energy was completely condensed to a peak, he held the spear tightly, and his body rushed towards the walking corpse in the sinkhole like lightning.
The howling wind blew past Duan Fei's ears. At this moment, all he could see was its head.
This blow will surely kill you.
The alloy spear and sword pierced the air and smashed down with a thunderous force. At this moment, Duan Fei seemed to have seen the scene where its head was crushed and its body was scattered everywhere.
However, the next moment, when his long spear actually attacked the zombie, Duan Fei's face changed drastically.
"Zheng!"
There was a violent explosion, not the muffled sound of broken flesh, but the shattering sound of metal trembling at extreme speed.
In Duan Fei's sight, the moment the spear hit it, the expected picture did not appear. Instead, the entire gun began to shake from a distance, as if it had hit some extremely hard object, and it was fixed on the iron. The sharp knife at the front of the stick broke instantly.
"not good!"
Duan Fei immediately realized the danger. The walking corpse in front of him was not those low-level walking corpses at all, but the most dangerous beast.
In a blink of an eye, Duan Fei stepped back quickly, and at the same time withdrew the iron rod that lost the sharp knife from it. However, at this moment, a huge force suddenly came along the stick, and he looked up, and at some point, a pair of slightly rotten hands had tightly grasped the other end of the iron stick.
At this time, the walking corpse finally turned around. What came into view was a fair female face. Unlike other walking corpses, it doesn't have any rotten image on its face. If everything else is removed, this is an ordinary woman.
However, when Duan Fei noticed its eyes, a wordless fear suddenly surged in his heart.
Ordinary walking corpses, their eyeballs are dull and cloudy yellow. But it was different, its eyes were pitch black, like a bottomless abyss, and it couldn't see any other colors except black.
native species.
Duan Fei suddenly remembered a distant and terrifying name.
