Doomsday Sacrifice

Chapter 48 Special Zombies
Li Xun picked up the phone again.

"You said there is a powerful zombie in the corridor? How powerful is it?"

He hoped that what the girl was talking about was an evolutionary zombie. If so, he planned to rescue her. Killing an evolutionary zombie would yield far more energy than ordinary zombies, and Li Xun never had too much energy.

"I saw it crawling on walls and roofs, like a gecko." The girl's voice trembled a little, as if remembering something that made her feel horrible.

Li Xun was stunned for a moment, and was shocked, crawling on the wall like a gecko?How could there be such zombies?
You must know that zombies are just the result of mutations caused by human beings failing to withstand extreme shocks when activating DNA chains, resulting in mental trauma. In essence, their genes are still human genes, but do humans have the same genes as geckos?
Hearing that there is such a special zombie, of course Li Xun will not leave. This must be an evolutionary zombie, he has to go and see for himself.

"Are you talking about the zombies on the fifth floor?"

"Yes."

"Which room are you in?"

"506."

"Okay, wait, I'll go up and find you."

"Are you alone?" the girl exclaimed.

"Yes, is there a problem?" Li Xun felt that he alone was enough to deal with an evolved zombie.

"No, it's better for you two to come up together. That zombie can not only climb the wall, but also has great strength. It's too dangerous to be alone." The girl hurriedly reminded.

"Well, I see, you just wait in the room."

"OK, thanks!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Xun said to Lao Fan, "Go, go and see that zombie, and save someone by the way."

Lao Fan nodded and followed him into the hotel.

The hotel lobby is a standard economy chain hotel style, with a small space and no zombies.

The two walked up the stairs to the fifth floor. Li Xun lay on the door glass and looked in. The view here was limited, and he could only see a small part of the corridor, and he didn't see any zombies that could climb the wall.

Putting down the backpack and letting Lao Fan wait in the stairwell, Li Xun took out his dagger, gently opened the door and entered the corridor.

Turning the corner, Li Xun saw a zombie in the middle of the corridor, behind a small cart.

The zombie was a woman before her death, about 50 to [-] years old, not tall, thin, wearing overalls, she should be a hotel room attendant.

This is the only zombie in the corridor, and it seems to be the one the girl mentioned.

Li Xun approached slowly.

When approaching within ten meters, the zombie suddenly turned to look at him, and walked around the cart towards him.

Li Xun stopped and noticed that the soles of the shoes on the zombie's feet were all off, and the uppers were hanging on the ankles, exposing the soles of the feet. When it approached, he suddenly raised his kick and kicked it in the lower abdomen.

The zombie managed to dodge it deftly, and at the same time grabbed Li Xun's calf with one hand. Its nails were very long, as long as two centimeters.

Li Xun dodged the attack of the zombies, and hit her shoulder with a punch, making her stagger, and dodged past her.

He came to the middle of the corridor, pushed the cart to meet the zombies, and continued to test the strength of the zombies.

The small cart blocked the path of the zombie, and it wanted to push it away with its hands. Li Xun felt a strong force in his hand, probably equivalent to two adults.

Li Xun gradually strengthened his hands and pushed the zombie to the ground. It got up and jumped onto the wall, and it was able to stay on the wall like a gecko.

The zombie's hands and feet moved forward alternately, avoiding the door and climbing onto the roof. The speed was so fast that it was no slower than running on flat ground.

Seeing that the test was almost done, Li Xun broke its neck.

Although Li Xun dealt with this zombie very easily, in fact, to ordinary people, this zombie is quite dangerous and threatening.

It has twice the strength of an adult, is faster, walks flat on walls and roofs, and has flexible reflexes, making it difficult to deal with.

Li Xun estimated that this should be a zombie that has completed one evolution.

Zombies are indeed evolving faster than humans.

Next, Li Xun took a look at its hands and feet. Except that its skin color turned gray, it seemed to be no different from ordinary people's hands.

He remembered that the gecko seemed to be able to firmly grasp the wall because of the many bristles on its feet?This evolved zombie does not have these things but can also be absorbed on the wall, which is more amazing than geckos.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand. If you are undecided, you can write it down and ask the system.

This time Li Xun did not extract energy from the corpse. The system seemed to like all kinds of weird creatures, whether they were alive or dead, so he felt that sacrificing an evolved zombie should get more.

"System, I want to sacrifice this evolved zombie."

"sure?"

"determine."

"Start the sacrifice, receive the sacrifice, complete the sacrifice, sacrifice reward: 400 energy points, genetic transformation model: adsorption and night vision."

Hearing the sacrifice reward, Li Xun smiled. Sure enough, there are good things, and the name is very high.

He immediately checked the newly obtained gene conversion model: adsorption and night vision, but he couldn't help but feel a little tangled after he figured it out.

As the name suggests, this is a model that contains the complete structure and information of a certain gene. Li Xun can transform his own genes according to the genetic model in it, so that he also has the genes in it.

And this model is a bit special, it contains two genes, one is adsorption and the other is night vision.

That is to say, if Li Xun transforms his genes according to this model, he will gain the same ability as the zombie who just sacrificed, not only being able to attach to the wall, but also possessing night vision ability.

To be honest, he is very eager to have these two abilities, no matter which one is quite practical.

Adsorption can make him ignore the terrain and make his tactics more varied, which is a great improvement in combat power.

Night vision is equally important, especially in the last days.It has just entered the end of the world not long ago, and there is still electricity in the city, but as time goes by, sooner or later, the electricity will be cut off, and it may not last for a few days.

Once the electricity is out, both life and battle will be greatly affected, and then we can see the importance of night vision.

In Li Xun's view, night vision is more important than adsorption. If he could only choose one, he would choose night vision without hesitation.

But what confuses him is that neither of these two genes seems to be human genes. If he transforms his own genes, can he still be considered a human?

The reason for this concern is that there are two conditions for genetic transformation.

One is that the transformation needs to consume a lot of genetic energy, the specific consumption depends on how many times he has evolved, and the other is that the transformation will occupy a pair of chromosomes.

There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in Li Xun's body, and each pair can evolve once. At present, he has completed the second evolution, and there are 21 pairs left. If the genetic transformation is carried out, it is equivalent to one evolution.

In other words, a pair of his chromosomes were replaced by the adsorption and night vision genes, which was the root cause of his worry.

In the end, Li Xun decided to wait until he asked the system.
