Chapter 5 Corpse Transformation
Han Yu looked out the window at the outside world.
The body that had been drenched in blood and lay unconscious on the ground slowly began to move under the moonlight.
A body dressed in a security guard uniform got up from beside the guard post. It wasn't far away, and Han Yu could just make out its face.
Half of his face had rotted away under the corrosive effects of the blood rain, revealing stark white bones. His eyeballs hung outside their sockets, swaying back and forth with his movements. His body was bizarrely arched, a truly terrifying sight.
"Huh?! What is this?!"
Jian Chun stood beside Han Yu, looking out the window, and covered her mouth in surprise, unable to believe her eyes.
She wasn't stupid; the zombie movies she'd watched churned in her mind, and one word popped into her head.
Zombies!
These are zombies!
She had always thought that zombies were just a concept, something that only appeared in movies, and never imagined that they would appear in reality.
But now the facts are right in front of her, forcing her to believe it.
The sudden appearance of zombies also surprised Han Yu, but fortunately, the system's prior preparations prevented him from panicking.
After calming himself down, he turned to look at Jian Chun and pointed to the weapon.
"Are you still going to work here or not?"
Jian Chun was puzzled as to how he got these things, and how they appeared out of thin air.
It's important to know that weapons of mass destruction are strictly prohibited in China, making it extremely difficult to develop.
Jian Chun is also a seasoned novel reader, having read all kinds of novels. She knows that once a major event occurs, a chosen one with a system will naturally appear.
Could it be... that he is a chosen one with a system?
Jian Chun guessed.
But reality didn't give her time to overthink things. Han Yu's gaze was fixed on her, making her a little flustered.
"No, no." Jian Chun shook her head repeatedly. "I won't go out. Who knows if I'll turn into a zombie if I go out? No, that's right, I won't go out."
Han Yu looked at her without saying a word.
Jian Chun is right. Nobody knows what effect these several dark red moons might have on normal people, other than turning corpses into zombies. Nobody dares to take the risk.
But... according to the system, the zombie horde will attack tomorrow. Are we just supposed to sit here and wait to die?
He certainly couldn't go out and take risks, so why should he let Jian Chun go?
Looking at the woman who had been pleasured beneath him the night before, he couldn't bring himself to be cruel.
For a moment, Han Yu was at a loss for what to do.
Helpless, I had to take out my phone to see what was going on, and thankfully there was still a network connection.
The group chat had already exploded.
Celeste: [Did you guys see outside? Those corpses are moving!]
White Ghost: [I saw it! Holy crap! The old lady downstairs was lying by the flower bed yesterday, and just now she stood up! Half her neck is broken, her head is tilted to one side, and she's still walking around! Aaaaaah!]
Driven by Dreams: [Isn't this like those zombies in the movies? Have people turned into zombies?]
Puzzled Chess Sister: [So all those people who were in a coma before, are going to change? How many of them would that be...?]
Celeste: [Oh no, oh no, oh no! I'm in Block B, and there are already seven or eight of them gathered downstairs. They're banging on the door!!!]
A towering tree: [Afraid of trivial matters? We'll get to work!]
Dongxiao: [Big Brother is right!]
……
The crowd kept talking, but it was all useless information.
Han Yu noticed that a few new faces had appeared in the group. Perhaps people who didn't like to post suddenly started to post?
He didn't think much of it, keeping to himself since it wasn't his business. His main task now was to figure out how to install the weapons.
Inside Villa No. 3, Block B, Jiangwan Villa District.
Eight burly men in overalls gathered in the living room, surrounding the body of a young woman, lamenting in despair.
"Hey, third brother, what happened to you? How did you manage to kill him?" the dark-faced man in the lead asked with some regret.
"Brother Liu, who knew this little girl was so fragile? She's only been here a few days..." The man known as the third brother rubbed his hands, somewhat at a loss.
"Big brother, third brother didn't do it on purpose. The girl is gone, so be it. Don't let it affect our brotherhood."
"Never mind, let's freeze it. We don't have much left to eat," said the dark-faced man.
The leader was named Liu Wenlong, a renovation worker in the Jiangwan villa area.
He has a group of brothers under his command who are skilled and fast workers. Most of the houses in the villa area are renovated by them.
A few days ago, while they were renovating this house, blood rained down, and several of the men outside fell down.
Liu Wenlong and his companions reacted quickly and hid indoors, thus escaping disaster.
Unfortunately, the male owner of the villa was away on business trips all year round, leaving the female owner alone at home.
For the first few days, Liu Wenlong and his companions treated the hostess with respect and did not cross any lines.
But seeing the blood rain falling incessantly and all social order vanishing, the men grew bolder, drawn by the young woman's alluring figure.
The poor mistress, such a delicate woman, lost her life at the hands of these rude men.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A banging sound came from the door, and a zombie with exposed white bones appeared in the doorway, aimlessly pounding on the glass door.
"Big brother, this...this..."
The seemingly burly third brother was the first to lose his composure, desperately trying to hide behind the crowd.
Seeing his expression, Liu Wenlong stared at him intently, but didn't say much.
Liu Wenlong is currently frantically trying to figure out a way out.
The current chaotic situation presents a good opportunity for a daring and ruthless person like him to make his way in the world; he doesn't want to die here in vain.
However, Liu Wenlong pondered for a while. The main reason was that he didn't know what the situation was like outside. At this time, the more information he knew, the more beneficial it would be for his own development.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The banging on the door continued, and seeing that the glass door was about to be smashed by the zombies, Liu Wenlong picked up a fire axe from the ground and handed it to Lao San.
"Third brother, you killed one of the brothers' women, now it's time to show off. Go out and fuck him to death. Let the brothers see!"
"Big, big brother, I...I..." The third brother hesitated, unable to speak.
"Yes, Third Brother, don't let the brothers look down on you," someone chimed in.
"Hey, I didn't expect the third brother to be so energetic with women, tch."
The mocking voices only fueled the third brother's fighting spirit. He gritted his teeth, snatched the fire axe from Liu Wenlong's hand, and charged toward the zombies outside the door.
The third brother, around thirty years old, had served in the military for several years. After being discharged, he ignored advice and squandered his discharge pay, which led him to become a laborer.
He was not a reckless person; taking advantage of the pause when the zombies were banging on the door, he suddenly pulled open the glass door.
The zombie outside the door was jolted and lost its balance, falling into the house.
The third brother seized the opportunity and chopped down with his axe. The zombie's head instantly split in two and fell silent.
Seeing that the crisis was resolved, the third brother was in high spirits. Perhaps due to a surge of adrenaline, he swaggered out of the house, looking fearless.
Unexpectedly, the moment he stepped out, several zombies hidden in the flowerbeds on both sides suddenly rushed out and pounced on the third brother...
Liu Wenlong reacted quickly, stepping forward to close the door tightly.
Poor third brother, he died in the jaws of a corpse...
At this moment, Han Yu was lying on the sofa, enjoying Jian Chun's services.
Moonlight streamed through the French windows, casting Jian Chun's shadow on the floor, one above the other. Han Yu suddenly understood something...
