Chapter 3 Body Changes
Kong Yun had heard from the mercenary masters of the Snake Mark Mercenary Squad that those powerful mutated beasts liked to eat zombies. However, the mutated beasts" favorite food was still humans, so there were often mutated beasts attacking human villages.
The Fire Bird"s speed of flight was already close to the speed of sound. Soon, it flew dozens of kilometers and landed on a mountain. There was actually a huge cave on this mountain!
Kong Yun and the t.i.tan zombies were thrown into the cave. The cave had a slope, and Kong Yun and the t.i.tan zombies rolled down.
"Bang!" Kong Yun"s body landed on the t.i.tan zombie. The steel-like armor of the t.i.tan zombie caused Kong Yun to feel pain.
The fire bird didn"t come in. It seemed to have left. It should be looking for food again.
Kong Yun took out a lighter from his backpack, and a ray of light appeared in the cave. He pulled out the super-hard alloy spear that was stuck in the chest of the t.i.tan zombie to protect himself.
Although Kong Yun knew very well that this super hard alloy spear could not harm the Fire Bird at all, it gave Kong Yun a slight sense of security when he held it in his hand.
Under the faint flames, Kong Yun saw three fiery red eggs.
Kong Yun"s mind trembled, and his eyes shone with greed.
This was the egg of a mutated beast. This was a priceless treasure. In the Battle Dragon City where Kong Yun lived, there had been enough eggs of a mutated beast sold for five million survival points.
Five million survival points. This was a sum that Kong Yun would never earn in his lifetime. If he had five million survival points, he could cure his father"s paralysis, let his little sister receive the best education, and buy him the best planting armor.
"Take it, take it, take it all!" Kong Yun roared in his heart. He was cheering. He wished he could take away all three eggs of the mutated beast.
However, Kong Yun quickly calmed down. This was the home of the mutated beast, and it was impossible for him to take away the eggs of the three mutated beasts from here.
Kong Yun used the weak light to walk around the cave and found that there was no place for him to escape.
Kong Yun"s feet slipped, as if he had stepped on something. He sat down on the ground and the fire illuminated him. It was actually a test tube-like thing.
However, this test tube was not made of gla.s.s. It was hard to knock on. It was a bit like metal. It was transparent metal. Kong Yun had never seen it before.
There were also some strange words on the test tube. Strangely, it was neither Chinese nor English. It looked like hieroglyphs.
Inside the test tube was a pale blue liquid, flickering with a wondrous light under the flames.
"Could this be a genetic agent?" Kong Yun"s eyes lit up. The current technology was able to turn the marrow fluid of a zombie into a genetic medicine. It was extremely miraculous that it could change a person"s physique at the genetic level.
Genetic medicines were expensive, and their value was not even below that of proliferation mecha . It was simply not something that an ordinary person like Kong Yun could afford to buy.
The transparent metal test tube was made of one body, without the slightest crack. After searching for a while, he saw a snap at the top. With a gentle twist, the metal test tube actually split open from the middle.
Kong Yun was shocked. He hurriedly used his hand to hold the light blue liquid. This was a genetic medicine, so he couldn"t waste it.
However, to Kong Yun"s surprise, the light blue liquid did not land on the ground, but floated in the air.
Kong Yun looked at the pale blue liquid floating in the air in surprise. However, before Kong Yun could react, the pale blue liquid was like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey. It drilled into Kong Yun"s body, and Kong Yun didn"t have time to dodge.
"Roar!" Kong Yun pinched his throat with both hands. A beast-like roar came from his throat. His chest seemed to be pressing down on a large rock, making him unable to breathe.
His skin turned red and emitted terrifying heat. His body curled up together and he let out painful howls.
Kong Yun"s body seemed to be on the verge of burning. His flesh and blood began to rot under the high temperature, and his pupils began to turn green.
"This isn"t a genetic agent, this is" Kong Yun was extremely shocked. He was actually infected by the Heavenly Apocalypse Virus.
The radiation and nuclear radiation that appeared at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean fused together. Under the influence of the Earth"s environment, the new type of virus was the Tian Qi virus. In just a few years, the Tian Qi virus had infected more than 90% of the humans on Earth, turning them into zombies.
Kong Yun looked at his body in horror. He was born after the year of the nightmare. He already had the antibodies to the Heavenly Awakening Virus in his body. He wasn"t scratched or bitten by a zombie. How could he become a zombie? "No, I don"t want to become a zombie, I don"t want to become a zombie!" Kong Yun cried out in horror. The powerful nerves that he had trained as a scavenger for five years had completely lost their effectiveness at this moment. He could not remain calm. He did not want to turn into a zombie.
"So hot, so hot!" The scorching temperature almost roasted Kong Yun, and the super-hard alloy in his hand began to melt under this high temperature.
Kong Yun"s fleshly body was actually able to endure the high temperature that even the super-hard alloy could not withstand until now?
The super-hard alloy melted into molten iron in Kong Yun"s hand. However, not only did the molten iron not drip down, it entered Kong Yun"s body through the pores of his skin.
This molten iron was like a tarsal maggot spreading through his body. Flesh, blood vessels, bones, internal organs, heart, head, and Kong Yun"s entire body were filled with molten iron.
After the Tian Qi virus fused with the super-hard alloy, Kong Yun"s internal organs and bones were plated with a layer of liquid metal.
However, this wasn"t the end. The liquid metal slowly seeped into Kong Yun"s internal organs. Kong Yun could feel that his internal organs seemed to have completely turned into metal.
This kind of pain was simply not something a person could endure. Kong Yun was so painful that he wanted to commit suicide, and his head constantly smashed into the rock wall. He really wanted to commit suicide to end this inhumane torture.
"Dong dong dong dong dong dong!" Kong Yun smashed his head against the rock wall with a dull metallic sound, and rubble kept rolling down.
Kong Yun was stunned as he looked at the rock wall that had been blasted open by him. His head was actually even harder than the rock.
When Kong Yun saw his body, he couldn"t believe what he saw. Silver-white metal, his body had actually turned into silver-white metal!
"No, I don"t want to, I don"t want to become a monster!" Kong Yun howled. An amazing thing happened. The silver metal in his body was slowly retreating, and his body returned to its original state.
Kong Yun suddenly realized that his body no longer felt that scorching heat, as if it had returned to normal.
Before he could think about what had happened to his body, Kong Yun carried his backpack and stuffed the eggs of the three mutated beasts into his backpack. Looking at the huge body of the t.i.tan zombie, Kong Yun gritted his teeth. When he turned around, his heart was bleeding. This was a huge fortune, but he couldn"t get it away.
"Zizzi!" Kong Yun took out a syringe from his backpack and stabbed it into the t.i.tan zombie"s body. After extracting the syringe"s zombie marrow, Kong Yun reluctantly crawled out of the cave.
While the fire bird was out looking for food, he had to leave this place. Otherwise, if the fire bird came back and found that its egg was missing, then he would be doomed.
Kong Yun, who was running, discovered that his speed was actually so fast, and his strength and jumping ability were several times that of before. This feeling was like a completely new person.
Kong Yun even suspected that he was encountering a Gene Demon Concubine. As for the burning sensation and the pain of not dying, was it just a side effect of the gene potion?
He shook his head and put all these messy thoughts behind him. The most important thing now was to leave this d.a.m.n place.
The wilderness was dangerous. There were a large number of zombies, but Kong Yun relied on his extraordinary hearing to avoid the zombies one after another. Extraordinary hearing was Kong Yun"s trump card to survive in the wilderness. He had saved him countless times.
In the evening, Kong Yun appeared outside Zhan Long City. Looking at the cold laser cannon, this dangerous hot weapon gave Kong Yun a great sense of security. Under Zhan Long City, even if there were zombies, there was nothing to fear. This large caliber laser cannon was enough to smash any zombie into pieces.
The ragged Kong Yun did not attract the attention of the Zhanlong City guards. It was just a scavenger. There were thousands of scavengers in Zhanlong City, and their lives were even lower than wild dogs.
Kong Yun patted the huge backpack behind him. This was the harvest he had obtained in the past half month.
Without caring about cleaning or eating, Kong Yun hurriedly arrived at a shop. The weeds yard was the shop that scavengers visited the most. Most of the things scavengers found in the wild were sold here.
After five years as a scavenger, Kong Yun had become a regular customer here.
"Oh, Kong Yun, your luck is pretty good. You actually came back alive." An old man who was calculating the value of the pile of items laughed when he saw Kong Yun.
Kong Yun was already used to Old Man Sun"s poisonous tongue, and Old Man Sun didn"t have any malicious intentions. He placed his backpack at his feet and quietly waited for the scavenger in front to settle the accounts.
"A total of 513 survival points. Keep them!" Elder Sun handed the first prize to the scavenger.
"Give me ten beauties to get drunk." The scavenger pulled out 500 survival points.
Beauty drunkenness, a kind of hallucinogen, can make the user"s mind extremely excited, as if there are dozens of beauties surrounding you. Moreover, this kind of hallucinogen is very addictive, and once stuck, it is basically impossible to quit.
In other words, this beauty"s drunkenness was a drug. It was strictly forbidden to be sold before the end of the world. Anyone who discovered, manufactured or sold it would be sentenced to death.
However, this was the end of the world. Even weapons could be privately owned. Naturally, drugs were not a problem. When a person"s survival became a problem, who would pay attention to the law? They were drunk and drunk today.
