The end of the world starts from the zombies

Chapter 79 The corpse of the third-level zombie

The length of the bone is very curved, and its diameter is slightly longer than its own forearm.

Through the ability of night vision, I can perceive the color that is constantly flowing on it. This bone looks quite fresh, as if it has just been disassembled.

So who would take it down?
"This should be a human bone, a rib from the chest." After viewing the bones, Liu Qing relied on his little experience with human bones to determine the situation.

There was some luster on the surface of the bone, and it was unknown whether it was water stains or the material of the bone itself. He raised his palm and planned to put it inside, and after stroking it, he would conduct an appraisal.

So he put his hands together, and the palm surface was printed on the surface of the bone.

When the palm of the hand was attached to it, a cold feeling came. The texture of the bone was hard, and some debris was still attached to it. When the fingers touched it and rubbed it, it still had the very familiar dusty texture in the warehouse.

After the judgment, the appearance of this bone is very dry, and the luster flowing on the outer layer is not water stains.

There are a lot of meat sold in the supermarket. Liu Qing can't remember whether there is a sternum or not, so he can't make a conclusion, saying whether it is a cow's sternum, a sheep's sternum, or a human bone.

"If a zombie eats the original owner, it licks it clean." He held the ten-cent-long bone edge in his hand and wiped it back and forth with his fingers. Suddenly, something appeared in Liu Qing's mind. A picture, that is the scene of high-level zombies licking this bone.

"Then why did this bone appear here?" Liu Qing was a little puzzled about the source of the bone. Looking at the staggering figure ten meters away, when he realized that the zombie was still far away from him, he combined the known conditions. Think about it, and then start thinking.

"The zombie is irrational. This is a premise, so it is likely to be kicked here." Liu Qing paused for a moment, pondering for a while, "Or, some zombies brought it here while gnawing on it? "

Zombies have no intelligence, or extremely low intelligence, so no matter how you think about it, the source of the bones will not harm you, and it is meaningless.

He held the bone in his palm, put it in the middle of his nose, and smelled the faint smell of blood that hadn't dissipated, intending to carefully identify the smell inside.

The white bone rubbed between the wings of the nose, which felt quite stiff. As the tip of the nose twitched, a strong sweet fishy smell suddenly penetrated the nostrils.

Suddenly, something happened that caught Liu Qing off guard, and a mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

【Ding!The system detected the identification characteristics of a new type of zombie and began to scan and identify it.]

This is the system beep!Liu Qing felt very abrupt.

"Can a sternum be used as a criterion for identifying a new type of zombie? So this is a human bone, right? It's a zombie bone!"

For the new type of zombies to mutate and evolve into other types of zombies, the energy required is far beyond what the current stage zombies can provide. Therefore, the new type of zombies can only be higher-level zombies than the previously discovered zombies.

"What level will it be?" Liu Qing was a little unpredictable about the system's reaction mechanism, guessing in his mind that it might be a zombie of the first level or a zombie of the second level.

You know, in the previous two hours of action, I have hunted and transported more than [-] corpses, but I have not seen a single first-order zombie.

Except for the corpse found before walking into the center.

It can be seen that the proportion of the first-order zombies in the corpse group is not high.

"Speaking of which, the zombies eaten by high-level zombies will gnaw according to the situation according to the level. There is only one bone left in this one." After connecting with what he had seen and heard before, Liu Qing suddenly fell silent after this idea popped up. .

He had a bad feeling.

You know, most of the corpses of the first-order zombies are very complete, and the characteristics of the first-order zombies are more obvious. The chest, including the belly, will usually be bitten, but not all of them will be eaten.

This shows that the owner of this sternum is at least a zombie of the second rank, or even the second rank.

The only ones who can defeat the mid-level zombies of the second level are the top-level zombies of the second level and the high-level zombies starting from the third level.

I thought so, but before my thoughts started to waver, Liu Qing felt the air around her become unusually stiff.

Thinking of the mysterious zombie with empty sleeves and bite marks on its cheek, he had an even worse premonition.

It is said that the less you want something to happen, the more likely it will happen. This is because people use rational logic to judge the situation, and it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages to avoid bad situations and even obtain inner peace.

In terms of judgment results, between sensibility and rationality, rationality definitely wins.

Whether this idea is correct will soon be verified.

There was a little cold promotional counter, and after seeing the pale faces swaying back and forth not far away, Liu Qing didn't think about waiting while walking.

Instead, he calmed down and squatted halfway, looking at a piece of smooth bricks outlined by green lines, his heart was turbulent.

Time seems to be fast, and it seems to be very slow, but all in all, it is going on all the time. Soon, Liu Qing is waiting for the notification from the system,
【Ding!System scanning is complete, "Zombie Illustrated Book" is loading]

[Level [-] zombies (medium): Intermediate degree of mutation
Mode of infection: viral transmission

Breed: Asian American

Mutation Transformation: The fifth mutation cycle transformation has been completed (the cycle length is doubled according to 0.5h)

Features: The red blood cells that circulate in the blood are affected by the virus, and hemoglobin-based cell lesions occur. The general external features are: the blood flowing out of capillary rupture is half white and half dark red.A large number of muscle fibers will increase and condense, and the muscles in the upper arms, thighs, and belly will swell by 50%-150%
Ability Evolution: Vision increased by 50% (night vision ability increased by 50%, daytime visibility range of 3 meters), physical function increased by 270% (sensitivity by 20%, endurance by 50%), secondary metabolic ability (food intake increased by 200%, can identify Zombies of the same level, low-level zombies), the hardness of the epidermis at the temple is increased by 300% (not reaching the first level of hardness level)
Note: It is found that the host's current physical function is weak, and it is not recommended to directly conflict with this zombie. 】

The data of "Zombie Illustrated Book" was directly reflected in his mind, as if the data had been copied to the hard disk.

After browsing and digesting the information provided by the system, Liu Qing was a little dazed.

A chill ran down his spine, and his mind felt both very clear and extremely confused at this moment.

This is a very contradictory state.

"I didn't read it wrong, the data displayed by the system is the third-order zombie, but it is sure, it is not mistaken?"

"Also, what does it mean that the hardness of the epidermis of the temple has increased by 300%? Is it for me, or is it the evolutionary result of the virus's own selection?"

Many doubts surfaced in his heart. At this moment, Liu Qing felt a little unreal about this world.
