Book 1 Chapter 4:
Mutagenic Flesh
A glare no matter how vicious could not kill
anyone, therefore Ye Chen ignored it, he indifferently approached her body,
after confir her death, he crouched down and used the knife to slice open
her torso
The girl's skin was pasty, with a slight tinge
of green, upon cutting open the skin, blood gushed out from the incision like
floater, darkly glistening like ink, followed by a rancid metallic
stench A norlare, not
daring to even approach the corpse much less come into contact with it,
however, Ye Chen has long since gotten used to this and is no longer mindful of
such things
”Hmm?”
Ye Chen's eyes immediately lit up, ”It's
enic flesh!+”
There upon, within the girl's chest cavity,
right beside her pitch black heart, was a white piece of tender flesh the size
of a fingertip, appearing similar to a lump of lamb fat, completely unblemished
by the surrounding black blood
With a plastic bag covering his hand, Ye Chen
carefully harvested the white piece of flesh, after which, he gave it a whiff,
it didn't give off any unpleasant odours, instead it had a distinct and
delicate fragrance
”I never thought that after taking doo
adult zoenic flesh, would I find some on this
little zo his head with a smile, Ye Chen headed to the bathroom
and gave the white piece of flesh a rinse, after which he popped it into his
mouth and chewed carefully
Mutagenic flesh!+
Containingit
strengthened one's body and health, it could occasionally be found within the
bodies of zombies
The reason human turned into zombies, was
because their bodies couldn't handle the rapid changes brought by the viral
infection, causing their DNA strands to collapse and their skin to fester, it
was akin to pushi+ng a bicycle to perform as well as an automobile, with its
inherent sturdiness lacking, doing so only proved harmful to itself
What then was the forte of humans?
It was undoubtedly their intellect!
Stripped from their intellect and
technologically advanced weaponry, humans were considered weak in the eyes of
the ainst the bold ferocity of a lion, the
speed of a cheetah, the flight capabilities of a falcon, the tenacious vitality
of a cockroach…
The intention behind why scientist researched
such a virus, was to use it in order to sti further,
surpassing the innate strengths of wild beasts, tragically, while the virus was
still in develop this chain of unprecedented
disasters…
The majority of humankind was infected, and
under the violent influence of the virus, they were transformed into zombies However
a portion of these zombies had what the team of scientists who developed the
virus coveted, ”enic flesh”!
According to their deductions, the perfected
virus would transfor similar to
iving them
ridiculous levels of bodily strength, giving birth to the 'new' human race!
Yet today…
To Ye Chen,that
bolstered his physical prowess!
The tender white flesh gave off a faint aroma
as he chewed it, after which, Ye Chen rested for an interval, giving time to
digest theit to affect his body
Ye Chen gripped his hand into a fist, he could
vaguely feel that his current strength has improved by around a quarter This
piece of enic flesh was simply too small, if it were the size of a fist,
it would have raised his strength by more than a hundred pounds
Ye Chen circled around the room once more
confir that there were no other zombies, other than that, he found three boxes
of canned vegetables, he also found soe which has
already decayed due to contamination of the virus Upon the decayed fish were
nu been baptized by the virus, they would eventually
start
Ye Chen then opened a can of vegetables, upon
inspection; they appear to be in pristine condition, unaffected by the virus,
he then placed the three boxes on the counter, ready for him to retrieve when
he was done hunting zombies
Clenching the watermelon knife, Ye Chen took a
deep breath before opening the door and once again ventured out
The corridor re an eerie
silence Ye Chen carefully approached the next room, it was locked, he did not
attempt to force it open, if there were any zombies within, it would be wise to
let the doors, what awaited them was
only death by starvation…
The following rooms were also locked; this came
as no surprise, after all, the apocalypse struck at 7:00 in the evening, most
people would already be in their rooms, and nobody would intentionally leave
their roo at a hotel
Ye Chen scouted out the entire floorsure that there were no stray zo to the
elevator, preparing to venture to the other floors
”Thirteenth floor!” the number displayed the
current location of the elevator, with a press of a button, Ye Chen summoned
for the elevator to ascend He waited in silence as he observed the rising
nu sense of unease started to take hold of
him…
”Fourteenth!”
”Fifteenth!”
Along with the rising elevator, Ye Chen's sense
of unease too, began to worsen Unable to withstand it further, Ye Chen dashed
towards the stairs nearby without waiting for the elevator to arrive He hid
behind the firefighting cabinet, within seconds, the elevator doors began to
open, peering from the dead silent stairway; it seemed to have an air of
eeriness
