HPDBC Chapter 251: Bite at will
Chapter 251: Bite at will
After two soft calls, Meng Luocheng seemed to sense something and used all his strength to open his eyes and look in the direction of the voice.
Qin Yuchen met Meng Luocheng's eyes, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth got stuck in his throat.
He looked into the pupils of which only the whites were left, and his helpless hands stopped in mid-air.
This is an important feature of corpse transformation.
No wonder, Qin Yuchen thought.
Meng Luocheng had such a strong smell of blood that the zombies wandering outside did not come in because they regarded him as one of their own kind.
He lowered his head, held Meng Luocheng's hand, and whispered another sentence.
"...Xiao...Chen?"
"It's me, brother!" Qin Yuchen heard the hoarse and completely out-of-tune cry, and increased the strength of his hands, and looked up at Meng Luocheng again.
"I'll take you back first!"
After saying that, he untied the rope on Meng Luocheng and prepared to get up.
Meng Luocheng's chest vibrated a few times, as if he was trying to force a laugh.
He groped for help and grabbed the wet corner of Qin Yuchen's clothes to stop his movements. He cleared his throat and said word by word:
"I can't walk anymore, let me rest here."
"Don't be depressed, speak up."
Meng Luocheng noticed that the person next to him maintained a certain posture without moving, so he tugged at the corner of his clothes.
"This is my only chance to speak clearly, brother. Are you going to be so silent?"
"I'll take you back."
Qin Yuchen spoke, but still insisted on the same words.
"..." Meng Luocheng was so angry that he laughed, and he really laughed.
He fumbled for the rope and tightened it again, then turned his head away stubbornly: "I can't move."
"I'll carry you."
"Do you know what you look like in front of me right now? A moving piece of Tang Monk's flesh. If I didn't still have some sense, you would have already..."
"Okay, bite it as you like." Qin Yuchen interrupted directly.
"..."
"I'll take you first..."
"Qin Yuchen!" The gentle tone was gone, and Meng Luocheng, who never lost his temper, had a hint of anger in his tone. He said,
"I just want to stay here and be well. Are you unwilling to fulfill even such a small wish of mine?"
“…” Qin Yuchen lowered his eyes and sat back next to Meng Luocheng.
"That's right." The stiff body pressed tightly against him, and the hand holding his hand trembled slightly. Meng Luocheng shook his chaotic brain and chuckled.
"I thought if I cut off the bitten part quickly, it wouldn't mutate, but it didn't work."
Qin Yuchen: "..."
After these words were spoken, Meng Luocheng fell silent.
They all knew that after being bitten, what awaited them was either mutation or beheading.
Cutting off or chopping off the bitten area will not help.
This method has been tried before, but all it resulted in was a slower mutation rate.
The reason for doing this is simply to lead away the pursuing zombies after being bitten, so as to buy time for others to escape.
"I haven't smoked in a long time. Now I suddenly remembered it and I feel the urge to smoke." Meng Luocheng smacked his lips, sighing that the apocalypse had helped him successfully quit his bad habit of smoking. "Did they get back safely?"
"I didn't go back." Qin Yuchen said.
"Okay, then..." Meng Luocheng's voice changed again, and the uncontrollable growl replaced the unfinished words.
"elder brother!"
He suddenly shook off Qin Yuchen's hand and pushed Qin Yuchen away, then bit his arm tightly.
"...I'm very grateful to have met one of you."
A few words were vaguely heard in the low growl. Qin Yuchen returned to Meng Luocheng and tried hard to make out what he heard.
After saying this, there was only one word left in Meng Luocheng's consciousness.
Go, telling him to go.
Qin Yuchen stood there in a daze, looking at Meng Luocheng, who had completely turned into a zombie.
He stood there motionless, and when he found that Meng Luocheng kept rushing towards him and was pulled by the rope, he subconsciously took a step forward.
The moment the black knife fell, Meng Luocheng's head rolled to Qin Yuchen's feet.
With blood splattering all over his face, Qin Yuchen blinked without noticing, took off his clothes and covered Meng Luocheng with them.
The heavy rain was still falling, and the thunder and lightning were becoming more frequent, accompanied by gusts of wind that blew in through the broken glass windows, causing the empty shelves inside to creak.
When Qin Yuchen left, the sky was already turning white. The roar of cars came and went quickly, and the convenience store returned to peace.
Next to the body covered by clothes, a pack of unopened cigarettes lay quietly in the only remaining hand.
……
"Brother Su! It's the boss's car!"
The people patrolling on the top of the city saw with keen eyes that an off-road vehicle was speeding towards them.
As they got closer, one of them recognized that it was Qin Yuchen's car and happily ran to find the two people guarding the supervision area.
The gate that had not been opened for a long time finally opened.
A familiar off-road vehicle slowly drove into the iron fence. People in protective clothing quickly scanned and disinfected the vehicle, and stood outside the passenger seat waiting for the person in the driver's seat to get out.
"Boss."
The protective personnel called out Qin Yuchen.
"Xiao Chen!" Suzhou Nan and Sun Pan also rushed over and shouted while hitting the driver's seat window.
Hearing the noise, Qin Yuchen came back to his senses in a daze, unbuckled his seat belt, opened the car door and got out.
Suzhou Nan supported the staggering man, and as soon as he shook his hand, he was shocked by his high body temperature.
"Check quickly! What are you waiting for?" The anxious and angry roar scared the protective personnel so much that they hurriedly gave Qin Yuchen a full body check to see if there was any risk of infection.
After the examination, one of them carried the bag, while the other carried Qin Yuchen on his back and ran to the city's medical clinic.
"Old Liu!"
"Lao Liu! Come out quickly!"
"I'm coming, what's wrong?" A man named Lao Liu just came out from the inner room. Seeing Qin Yuchen who had fallen asleep, his face turned pale and he told them to put him on the bed quickly.
The two did as they were told and stayed by the bed, refusing to leave.
Old Liu took decisive action and asked the young nurse to kick them out.
The two silent people had no choice but to sit outside and wait quietly.
When the door opened again, it was more than half an hour later. Sun Pan turned around immediately, and before he could finish his words, Old Liu took the initiative to speak:
"The persistent high fever of 40 degrees Celsius has already damaged my lungs. I have just received a fever-reducing injection and am on IV drip.
If he had come back any later, he would have burned himself to death."
"Besides, this kid doesn't even know how to change his clothes. It rained non-stop for the past few days, and his clothes kept getting wet and dry. His body temperature has long been out of balance.
If it weren’t for my good physique…”
At this point, Lao Liu sighed, shook his head and changed the subject.
"Didn't Lao Meng come back with us?"
Sun Pan shook his head, his eyes red as he pressed his throbbing temple: "Anything else?"
"No more." Old Liu sat next to them.
The three of them had a strong premonition, but no one wanted to mention it.
The sound of conversation gradually came from outside the clinic, and someone was about to enter. Su Luocheng spoke to stop the yellow-haired man in front and asked them to step back and wait until Qin Yuchen woke up.
