Chapter 8: Biochemical! Crisis!

  Leaving the convenience store, what entered my eyes was a desolate landscape. The dim sky and empty streets were littered with overturned vehicles, damaged public facilities, and flying newspapers. The headlines on the papers read "THE DEAD WALK", which translates to "The Living Dead/Zombies Roam".

  Tonight is destined to be very dark, quiet and cold.

  Not far away from the middle of the road, a person was lying there, motionless.

  "Look! There's someone over there," Wei Ming said. "Should we go take a look? Maybe he's still alive."

  "This..." Wang Ning said: "It's not good, you see, even the senior students are ignoring him."

  "Are you going to just stand by and watch him die?" Wei Ming disagreed, "If you won't go, I will!"

  Everyone fell silent. After all, they were just students who had just walked out of the high school gate. None of them were so indifferent that they wouldn't bother to help someone lying on the road and just walk by. Moreover, it seemed like everyone thought of what happened a while ago: "A little girl was hit by a car in the middle of the road, then another car ran over her frail body, and several people walked by without helping, completely ignoring her, extremely cold-blooded... although she was eventually sent to the hospital by kind-hearted people, it was too late to save her young life. A precious life was lost due to the indifference of the people..."

  And yet, how similar this scene is to the one from back then. Only now, the location has changed to Raccoon City in America, and the characters have changed to them and that person on the ground.

  Yin Kuang didn't want to leave any regrets, so he said: "I'll go take a look." After speaking, he left the group and ran towards the person lying on the ground. After all, human life is at stake, can't afford to delay.

  "Wait a minute." Li Fengmu was too late to stop, and said: "Good grief. Have you forgotten what kind of place this is? You have to be mindful of the occasion even if you're being kind." As he spoke, he pulled out the Desert Eagle, mounted a silencer on it, and jogged over.

  Wei Ming and Wang Ning also walked over together. After all, they had already formed a temporary four-person group, so it was only natural that they would advance and retreat together.

  Zeng Fei and Liu Xiaotian forgot to look at each other, then looked at Xiong Ba again, only to see him standing there with a smirk on his face, his hands clasped behind his back. In the end, they sighed silently and decided to stay where they were. As for Qian Qian, she looked left and right, wanting to go forward but not daring to, anxiously biting her lip and clenching her fists.

  Yin Kuang approached the man, who was lying on his back, motionless and seemingly unconscious. He stretched out his hand and gently shook him, "Sir, what's wrong with you?"

  The people on the ground remained motionless.

  Yin Kuang gritted his teeth and straightened him up, and was startled at once. He saw that the person's shoulder had a huge gap, as if bitten by a wild beast, covered with black blood, flesh and blood blurred, and emitting a foul odor. Especially, his face was abnormally pale, without any human appearance, and there were pits and rottenness on his face.

  "It smells good." Wang Ning said, "Looking at his appearance is not right, let's go. I always feel very dangerous." Wang Ning's "low-key king way" actually not only can avoid perception, but to some extent, it has increased his own perception. So, his initial perception was as high as 11 points. Perhaps he himself doesn't think this is too high, if he were to compare with others' perception values, he would find that his perception is the highest, and the only one exceeding 10.

  "Wei Mingdao said: 'Maybe he's still alive. If you're afraid, then back off.' After that, he stretched out his hand to feel the nose of the person on the ground."

  "Hold on." Liang Fengmu, holding a gun, shook his head at Wei Ming and said: "He's already dead. You've forgotten what kind of place this is? The world of Resident Evil! What's the mainstream here? Zombies! He's been bitten, judging from the wound, he was bitten by a zombie. Soon he'll become one too. Approaching him rashly is absolutely irrational."

  "This...". Wei Ming was also aware of this and hesitated for a moment, "What should we do?"

  "Put another bullet in his head," said Wang Ning. "This way we can prevent him from becoming a zombie and running around all over the place."

  Yin said nervously: "But what if he's still alive? Wouldn't that be murder?"

  "He will eventually become a zombie." Wang Ning said affirmatively, "Once he bites us, we'll also become zombies. Then the exam will fail and 10 years of our lifespan will be deducted. It's better not to take this risk. Even if you think your lifespan is long, it's not worth wasting like this."

  Yin Kuang was indifferent.

  He only had 34 years of life, 34 years! So he could only die once. He was the one who should be most careful here. Thinking of his recklessness just now, his heart skipped a beat. If the person on the ground suddenly turned around and bit him on the hand, then...

  Wei Ming sighed and felt a chill in his heart, although he had a long lifespan. He said: "It's over, American... wait, his eyes moved!"

  "Is he there?" The three of them stared at the eyes of the person on the ground.

  All of a sudden, the eyes of the man on the ground twitched again.

  It's really moving!

  The man on the ground had not yet become a zombie, and at this moment, he struggled to open his eyes, his unfocused eyes rolled around, his lips moved slightly, as if saying something.

  "How are you?" Wei Ming asked, squatting beside him, "What do you want to say?"

  "Ma...ma..." The American man coughed out a few words in English like he was having a seizure.

  "What horse? What about horses?" Yin Kuang also leaned forward.

  Wang Ning suddenly backed away, "Something's off, I've got goosebumps all over. I see..."

  "Stop arguing, I couldn't hear clearly." Wei Ming said in a low voice, and then leaned forward, "You say..."

  The man struggled to say a word "Mary", one hand waved, extremely difficult to put on his chest, and continued: "Ma... Ma... save... Ah!"

  "Get out of the way!!"

  Wang Ning let out a loud whoop.

  "Ah!!" Wei Ming suddenly let out a mournful and piercing cry, struggling with all his might to push away the zombie that had bitten into his neck. However, the intense pain that tore through his throat made him unable to exert any strength despite having it.

  Pfft!

  The Desert Eagle with a silencer let out a light hum, and the zombie's brow burst open with a hole, without even splashing any blood. In an emergency, Li Shuangyu fired her gun in time.

  But it was too late after all.

  Wang Ning didn't hesitate either, immediately taking out a tourniquet from his backpack and tying it around Wei Ming's wound: "Wei Ming, how are you?"

  "Damn it! It hurts so much! Damn it, damn it!"

  Tourniquet effect: Restores 5 points of life and effectively stops bleeding.

  Weiming had 25 points of life, was bitten by a zombie in the vital part, and received the prompt: "You were bitten by a zombie in the vital part, triggering a critical hit, -15 life. Special damage, 'Thick Skin' invalid. Your main artery is damaged, entering a bleeding state. You will take 2 points of life damage per second until death."

  Yin Kuang had not yet acknowledged Wei Ming as a "close friend", so the "True Feelings Guard" effect was not triggered. In other words, Wei Ming alone bore all the maximum damage.

  Fortunately, Wang Ning acted in time and used a tourniquet to stop the bleeding. However, due to the severe arterial bleeding, the tourniquet did not completely stop the bleeding but only slowed it down. Liang Shuang hastily took out an ice pack and stuffed it into Wei Ming's mouth.

  Mysterious Dog Baozi: Immediately restore 3 points of life, then recover 1 point of life per second for 3 seconds.

  Don't look at this secret recipe bun and Xiaolongbao are the same size, but its exchange price is very expensive, as much as 15 points. Converted to RMB, it's 1,500 yuan, really a sky-high priced bun!

  However, Wei Ming's life was hanging by a thread. The situation was clearly worrying. Simply put, Wei Ming had contracted the T virus.

  Everyone looked at him in silence.

  Wei Ming's face turned pale, and he let out a bitter laugh. "What is this? Good intentions unrewarded? Cough! Cough!"

  Yin Kuang said with a guilty conscience: "I'm sorry...... If I hadn't run over, you would have..."

  "Haha. This is my own persistence, and it has nothing to do with you." Wei Ming said: "Isn't it just 10 years of life? I'll live for a hundred years, and these trivial 10 years are not even worth mentioning."

  Just as everyone was in sorrow, Xiong Ba suddenly pulled out a gun and pointed it at Wei Ming.

  Everyone was shocked, and Yin Kuang shouted: "What are you doing?"

  "He doesn't care about his own life, but I'm responsible for yours." Xiong Ba said indifferently: "This also affects my comprehensive assessment. Don't you understand? Ask him yourself. Tell me your current state."

  Wei Ming's bitter expression intensified, "So... Senpai noticed it too."

  "This..."

  Wei Ming shook his head and said, "Don't blame Shu Zhang. You see for yourself... I don't have the energy..."

  A light screen appeared before everyone's eyes.

  A crimson light screen, flashing and dazzling!

  "Warning: Trainee Wei Ming, you have been bitten by a zombie and infected with the T-virus!"

  "Warning: Trainee Wei Ming, the T-virus has undergone an unknown mutation within your body!"

  "Warning: Trainee Wei Ming, you have a 0.1% chance of acquiring the Variant T Virus Gene Enhancement!"

  "Warning: Trainee Wei Ming, you have a 50% chance of mutating into a special zombie!"

  "Warning: Trainee Wei Ming, you have a 20% chance of mutating into a Crawler!"

  "Warning: Trainee Wei Ming, you have a 10% chance of mutating into a Tracker!"

  "Warning: Get T-virus antidote as soon as possible!"

  "Ah!!!!"

  Everyone gasped in unison and subconsciously took a step back from Wei Ming.
