Secret Dice - #215 - Chapter 215 Late Night Changes
“what’s the situation?”
Several people jumped out of bed, opened the windows and looked outside. They saw flames shooting into the sky outside a street, as if there was a fire.
“Fire?” Zhao Jian asked in surprise: “Such a big noise, a gas explosion?”
“Where does the [Wulin] gas come from?” Xu Yiming on the side retorted: “Maybe it’s an oil shop or a firecracker shop…”
Several people were discussing when they suddenly heard Senior Brother Song’s voice coming from the door: “Are you all in the house? Get dressed, pick up your weapons, come out and assemble in my room!”
Several people immediately followed the instructions. When they went out, they found that the students in other rooms also ran out and came to Senior Brother Song’s room.
The room was not big, and it was a bit crowded when more than a dozen people gathered together. Senior Brother Song and Senior Sister Deng stood in the middle and counted the people.
“What happened?” Lao Miaomiao asked. She had a straightforward and fiery temper. If her senior sister hadn’t knocked on the door just now, she would have almost jumped out of the window to help put out the fire.
“We don’t know either.” After confirming that everyone was there, Senior Sister Deng Qian shook her head: “But anything can happen in [Martial Arts]. This sudden explosion is inevitably caused by disputes between certain sects. As long as you follow us If it doesn’t matter, don’t mind your own business.”
Song Shan also nodded: “That’s why we dress up as ordinary merchants. Although Bainamen keeps a low profile, it is inevitable that they have some enemies over the past few decades. Hiding their identity is also to avoid unnecessary trouble.”
“Anyway, everyone, stay here for now. I have released the paper cranes to contact Uncle Tie and Senior Brother Li. Before they reply, we should not act rashly.”
The students all nodded after hearing this. Song Shan opened the window halfway and observed the situation outside by the firelight.
The location of the fire seemed to be the oil mill in the town, and explosions were heard from time to time, but the government and nearby residents had also reacted. Huoding Yamen had sent water trucks to put out the fire, and residents also carried buckets. However, oil fires are difficult to extinguish and spread quickly. From a distance, the fire shows no sign of diminishing.
It looked like it was just an ordinary fire… Senior Brother Song breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little calmer…
But at this moment, screams and calls for help suddenly came from the distance. At the same time, many residents could be seen frantically escaping from the fire.
“What’s going on?” Senior Brother Song was alert. Senior Sister Deng on the other side frowned and said, “Will there be another explosion? Someone will be burned…”
“That’s not right!” It was Ling Xin who spoke. She stared at the place where the townspeople fled. In the light of the fire, she could see several human figures covered in fire slowly walking out.
The reason why it is said to be humanoid is because it is no longer an action that normal people can make. The pain of burning one’s body is simply unbearable for ordinary people. Even if they roll around in dissatisfaction, they will run wildly and call for help. It is absolutely impossible to stroll leisurely like this.
Unless… that’s not a human being anymore?
Then, more and more “Fire People” came out of the fire scene. Not only Ling Xin, but other students also saw that something was wrong. As for the townspeople who were putting out the fire, they were so frightened by the sight before them that they backed away and began to crawl away timidly. But there was still a bold Huo Ding who rushed up and poured water on these people, trying to put out the fire and save them.
But suddenly, the fireman who had been splashed with water suddenly rushed forward, knocked down Huo Ding who was holding the bucket, opened his big mouth and bit down on the neck.
Seeing this scene, other Fire Dings hurriedly rushed forward to try to stop the crazy Pyro Man, but more Pyro Men rushed up from behind. Not only Huo Ding, but also other townspeople who participated in putting out the fire were caught by these guys. He fell down, and as the fire spread, his mouth was bitten with blood and the smell of burning.
“This is…” The students standing on the second floor of the inn were stunned, and Zhao Jian’s teeth chattered: “These guys on fire are just like the zombies in horror movies…”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw one of the burning people who was biting the townspeople suddenly twitching, his back bulged, and then the burnt skin suddenly exploded, revealing his white spine, with four thin sprouts growing on it. Long sharp limbs, like giant spider legs!
At the same time, other parts of his body were also mutating. His chin was split and formed a three-petal structure with the upper jaw. His hands were longer, his nails became sharper, his feet became longer, and he began to stand on his toes like a beast. There was also a growth spurt on the back of his butt. A slender tail with a sharp bone blade at the end, swinging back and forth.
“Changed… mutated?” The students were dumbfounded. As for the residents and Huo Ding, they completely gave up putting out the fire when they saw this scene and began to run away screaming!
However, not just one, but the firemen who had eaten the residents also began to mutate. After turning into monsters, their mobility was greatly enhanced and their speed was extremely fast. They could easily catch up with the fleeing residents.
The residents who were bitten to death by these monsters all got up after a while, and like the Pyroman before, they took staggering steps and began to look for their targets…
“This… this is a zombie…” Zhao Jian swallowed, and other students also looked at each other. Lao Miaomiao looked at Deng Qian: “Senior sister, you said anything can happen in [Martial Arts]… including this?”
“This…” Deng Qian shook her head, her expression slightly panicked: “I have never seen this situation before…”
“Could it be that the Demon Sect is refining Gu here?” Song Shan analyzed: “I heard that the Hundred Poison Sect has a secret method that can turn people into walking corpses, just like zombies… The girl from the Sword Saint Sect also passed by before In Shannan Town, could the poisoning be related to this? “
“I’ve also heard about the Hundred Poison Cult…” Lu Fei shook his head: “The Gu they refine is to control people’s minds. Those walking zombies cannot be infected, let alone mutate… I really don’t hear about this situation. Said…”
“This…” Song Shan was also a little unsure: “Maybe their technology has improved? Is this a new secret method for the experiment?”
“Stop guessing!” Luo Jun frowned and suddenly said: “This is a mutated zombie from [Wasteland]!”
Mutated zombies? Everyone looked at Luo Jun. They were all students. Most of them had never been to other worlds except [Martial Arts], let alone the [Wasteland] on the other side of the ocean. Their understanding of the so-called zombies was only from the forum. information mentioned.
“How do you know? Have you been to [Wasteland]?”
Of course Luo Jun knew that in the Tower of Decision mission, during the challenge of the Guardian Goddess, one of the waves was this kind of mutant zombie. The introduction at that time said that it was a monster from the [Wasteland], a human being infected by the Eternal Virus. , the product of mutation. Ordinary infected people will only turn into ordinary walking zombies, and some of them will mutate into this kind of three-petal monster with spider legs and a long tail. The official name is…
The first-level infected person of the eternal virus!
