Chapter 28 The Moment of Life and Death
The soldier in charge kicked open the bathroom door that was covered with a faint sound, and frowned in an instant by the pungent smell of blood coming towards him.
This is a bathroom with an area of about 20 square meters. Looking at the rows of dusty toilets on the left, the mirrors covered with spider webs reflected the figures of several people. They turned on the flashlights and followed the source of the fishy smell - the innermost compartment, and slowly walked over.
The soldiers in the lead observed the surroundings vigilantly and soon found that a window near the compartment had been opened, a faint cold wind blew in from outside the window, and there was still a large piece of hideous blood on the edge of the window sill.
There were only three people's slowing footsteps and breathing in the empty toilet, and there was almost no other movement.
It seems that after the attack, the monster had escaped from here along the window. The three of them came to the front of the compartment and watched a large amount of blood flow out of the compartment through the gaps in the ceramic tiles. One of them pushed open the door.
The one in the compartment was the missing scavenger who had just disappeared. At this time, his body was slumped on the toilet, and only a piece of flesh was barely maintained at the connection between his head and his body, and it was soft to carry the shoulders. The face of the corpse had been scratched and bloody, and the flesh on the cheeks was gnawed. Half of the tongue stretched out from the blood hole next to his face. A blood hole with a diameter of about three centimeters could be clearly seen near the temple of the corpse.
His left half had almost been gnawed, and a few flesh-and-blooded ribs were exposed to the air, and the large white intestines were pulled out of his abdomen. Some bitten internal organs mixed with blood and excretion logistics were all over the ground. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been scared by the scene in front of him.
"He is dead and cannot mutate." A soldier noticed the scars on the corpse's head and showed an incredible expression: "The zombie picked up his skull and sucked the brain matter inside..."
"How is this possible?" Another soldier hurriedly stepped forward to check it out. After seeing the scar near the bloody head, it was indeed five deep bone-observing claw marks, and his heart suddenly stumbled: With his understanding of these mutants, ordinary zombies can get such great strength to dig out the hard skull of humans!
"This is the same thing as what we found on the second floor wall before." A soldier swallowed and said with difficulty: "It seems that it is not a legend. EL protozoa can already infect humans, thus derive a stronger monster..."
"Pu"
At this moment, a drop of blood dripped from the wall above their heads. The soldier was shocked and subconsciously raised the flashlight.
Under the light, he saw a nearly pale face. The man climbed onto the wall like a gecko, half of his face was covered with sticky blood, mixed with some unspeakable yellow and white tissue.
It grinned and opened its eyes suddenly. Its black pupils were gone, leaving only a blood-red layer. There was still a small piece of uneaten intestine hanging beside the monster's mouth, and a few drops of warm blood flowed down from the intestines.
"It...it's not..." A soldier took two steps back in disbelief and did not shoot at the first time.
At this moment, the zombie made a low roar like a sputum in her throat, and then she jumped down from the wall and rushed to the soldier. It raised its arms, and the arms that were supposed to be humans had turned into dark black scales. The five claws as sharp as hooks flashed with a cold light and directly penetrated into the soldier's head!
"Kaiyang!!!" Seeing that his companion's body twitched a few times like a dying fish, a soldier roared and pulled out the submachine gun and pulled the trigger towards the monster's head. However, a black shadow flashed quickly, and the monster raised his claws and waved his waist suddenly. The next second, the charge in the soldier's hand and his upper body fell to the ground, leaving only half of his bloody body.
"No, something happened!" In the mall, Jiang Li and others heard the screams and gunshots from the bathroom, and immediately realized that they were in no time.
"Monster, monster!" At this moment, the scared scavenger had also shuddered and got up from the ground. He grabbed Jiang Li's arm tightly and said tremblingly: "That thing is not a zombie. Although it looks like a person, it has claws! It is a monster!"
"What?" Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of the disgusting bug he had seen in the tunnel before, as well as what other explorers had said to him.
When the host dies, the EL protozoa will leave the corpse and look for new parasites. The high-level EL protozoa will even undergo more abundant mutations...
The monster that looked like a human and had biological characteristics in the scavenger's mouth was a new type of zombie infected by the EL protozoa, fused with the characteristics of the previous host, and rearranged the cells and evolved after they were derived?
With the gunshots, the explorer who had entered the male bathroom had fired and quickly retreated. He looked back at Jiang Li and others, and couldn't help but roaring: "Run downstairs, hurry up!"
At this moment, Jiang Li and others finally saw the monster in the scavenger's mouth: it was a human crawling on the ground, or it could be barely called a "human". Because except for the head, the thing was like a pile of irrelevant parts pieced together.
The dark black scales and pink lymphatics covered its skin densely, spreading from its waist to behind it. As for its limbs, it had evolved into lizard-like claws, and behind the monster, there was a sturdy tail as a snake.
On the monster's claws, there were still warm blood and large pieces of human flesh torn by it. Large drops of mucus kept dripping from its mouth, and the bullets hit the monster's upper body and splashed a lot of blood mixed with flesh.
"So disgusting..." Rong Yu felt a swelling in his stomach and almost vomited it out.
The soldier was so angry when he saw his two companions encounter unexpected problems. However, the monster was quick to move. It exerted force with its hind limbs, kicked up and climbed straight up to the wall. Obviously, it was coming for Jiang Li and his group!
Seeing this, Jiang Li drew his gun and aimed at the monster's head. He had no time to be distracted, but he just ordered Rong Yu to escape with Mo Shang Li River. But the monster didn't seem to be planning to let anyone go. It made a strange scream, crawled along the wall quickly, avoiding the bullet's strafing, and jumped suddenly to the footsteps like a mountain, blocking everyone's retreat.
In the darkness, the monster's scarlet eyes kept scanning the people in front of him.
The only surviving explorer gritted his teeth and choked, "Lao Lin, how could you become like this..."
