[Hunter] How to kill a zombie

He thought for a while, "Well, I changed my mind. You can eat that horse, and I will pay the owner back."

Zoe: ? ? ?

But she also changed her mind.Because at this moment, all the cells in her body are screaming, saying that this person in front of her must be delicious, eat him, quick!

Gradually, she felt that her meaning was being replaced by something more chaotic and evil, and her eyes were scarlet...

Forget

Zoe wakes up...or should I say wake up?She wasn't quite sure, because she didn't know if she really passed out or was just being controlled by zombie instinct.This kind of thing has rarely happened since returning to Meteor Street with Arthur. It seems that eating steadily can help her stay awake.

In short, the facts at hand seem simple and clear: 1. She is in a room, tied to a chair (people always seem to like to play some bondage on zombies). 2. The man in the cloak is alive and well.In short, they found a way to subdue her.

However, what Zooey couldn't understand was that her body almost returned to its original shape, and it became clean.This also means two things: 1. She has eaten people. 2. She took a bath by herself, or someone helped her.

"Oh, you're awake." The man in the cloak said, showing a bright smile, his white teeth glaring a bit, "How do you feel?"

At least now the first question can be confirmed.That is, she had indeed passed out.Would a zombie do something like this?Shouldn't they be screaming and running around all over the place?

"Who did I kill?" Zooey asked, and found that her voice had returned to normal, "Uh, or... Has anyone turned into a zombie again?" She couldn't help showing a worried expression.

"So you are really a zombie." The man laughed, as if he was happy that he guessed the answer correctly, "I wondered for a while whether you were another unknown species, but the smell of corpses is too strong. Don't worry, I I’m afraid you’re a zombie and you’ve been protected, so there’s no one dead. It’s said that there have been cases like yours in previous expeditions, but the symptoms are different, so I’m not sure.”

"There is no dead person?" Zooey was a little surprised, "Then...how did I recover?"

"Hmm..." The man scratched his face, as if he was hesitant to tell her, "I tried to feed you something."

That's when Zoe noticed the bandages around his arms.

"Could it be..."

"Well, it's probably what you think it is."

He fed Zooey his own blood.Although I don't know what prompted him to do this, but in short, this man who seems to have a very problematic mind did so.

Zooey was speechless: "I'm not a vampire..."

"Drinking human blood can restore youth and turn others into the same species. Maybe you are really a vampire." He said, "But having said that, modern zombie legends originally added vampires to the original living dead. It is only because of the uniqueness that it became popular again. The legend is not groundless, if there are things in various cultures that suck human blood and flesh and are contagious, then whether they are vampires or zombies, there may be their roots.”

"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself." He said and grinned at Zoe again, "Hi, I'm Kim Freesh."

The person calling herself Kim Freeze untied her after confirming she was in a sane state.It was only later that Zoe realized that the other party was not much older than herself, and that she had become a one-star relic hunter at a young age, and had developed and maintained the famous "Ruluka Ruins". have.

Then she suddenly thought of one thing.

"That's right, Kim."

"how?"

"Did you help me take a bath?"

"Yeah." He touched his chin, and commented, "I have to say, as a zombie, you are quite expected."

Zooey immediately withdrew her previous admiring gaze, and looked at Jin with an expression of looking at trash.

"Don't look at me like that, you really stink, and it's not just the smell of corpses. To be honest, do you live in a garbage dump?"

"You're really right." Zooey replied indifferently.

"Why are you using honorifics? No, no, no, you don't need to change your words. You did the right thing. You must use honorifics for elders. Please call me Mr. Jin from now on, uh..."

"Zoe," she said, "my name is Zoe."

"Zoe? Hahaha, don't tell me, it goes well with Zombie."

Zooey really didn't know how to answer this sentence, so she chose to keep silent.She used to think that she was not a sociable person, but it seems that she was wrong... No, maybe it was not her fault, but the other party's fault.

Jin was looking for someone nearby. It is said that he made a game specially for those with the ability to read.Zoe has never known much about games, and her only understanding is limited to a few works that she occasionally heard her brother talk about.But since it's a game for people with the ability to read, Lucas probably won't have a chance to play it.No...Speaking of which, after that incident, would he still play games?

The impact of some events on people is absolute and irreversible.

She couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.

For the past few days, she has been following Jin in action. In fact, she originally said that she was going to a certain place, but the relic hunter refused to let her leave at will, and the two had several quarrels over this.

"I won't hurt anyone else," Zoe said, "as long as I can find a place with a hospital...

"And then? How? Eat the corpse? You will be found by the hospital one day, and," he glanced at Zoe, "I don't think you can solve the problem by eating the corpse."

"why?"

"Through a few analyses, I've found," he said, "that you need to eat something with human life energy in it. So, a living person, or fresh blood, a corpse within a few hours of death might do. And you'll Turning a hospital into a zombie paradise."

"I don't have to eat." Zooey was a little guilty when she said this, "As long as there is no major accident, I won't lose control. I tried it before, and it can be done for at least half a month—— "

"As a species, you zombies really don't need to feel wronged, right? If you want me to say, eat what you want. Having said that, most of the world may still regard zombies as a kind of epidemic. The epidemic must be controlled and eliminated."

"...What if I really infected a city?"

"I'm probably going to kill you." Jin thought for a while and said.

"What if it can't be killed?"

"Hmm..." He thought carefully, "Lifetime?"

"..." He told her not to restrain her nature, and said that if she harmed others, she would kill her. What exactly does this person want others to do?

"Actually, it's good for you to follow me like this now." He said, "With me watching you, nothing will happen to you, and I won't hand you over to the epidemic agency, isn't it good?"

not good.But Zooey didn’t say it.Jin obviously wouldn't let her go easily, and if she was tough, she might be handed over to the Hunter Association.

Can only wait for the opportunity to move.

At this time, Zooey thought, how good would it be if Jin could forget his existence?

What Zooey didn't know was that on the Meteor Street behind her, there were three men who had indeed forgotten her existence.More precisely, they have even forgotten their own existence.

"It's 'life in reverse'. Seeing the dementia, foaming at the mouth, and incontinence of the three people, the elder of the East District said, "I can't forget this symptom." "

People who have been touched by Arthur Greystone's ability, ranging from memory disorder and mental changes, to falling into madness and even completely losing the ability to be human.Some people's memories have returned to the embryonic stage, and they even forget to breathe.

"These three are useless people, let's deal with them."

But, why does this ability still appear after Arthur's death?Or did the knight's betrayal start earlier?Is this whole thing a conspiracy planned by them?

A lingering haze hung over his heart, like the dark clouds hanging low on Meteor Street in winter.

Eat

"Zoe?...Zoe, what are you thinking?"

What are you thinking?A person can think about many things.For example, the content of breakfast, the last movie or book I watched, and the occupation of the passer-by just now.It can also be some more general content, such as why the cultural world is always full of countless dirty jokes?Why are love, violence, sex and taboos always themes of obsession?Why do people keep saying no one has read Pynchon?At least the editors of the publishing house should have read it, or did they just throw the manuscript to the printing house?

But at this moment, Zoe Corleone can only think about one thing: that is, the humans around her look delicious.

After all, it's hard to say whether the zombie's craving is based on the digestive system.She never had a bowel movement, so she didn't know where the things she ate went.If these things were perfectly transformed into energy for her to maintain her operation, then it was obvious that zombies had a much higher utilization rate of food than humans.

Zoe has been following this hunter named Kim Freesh for about a month.During this period they hardly approached densely populated areas.Jin's blood is indeed a good thing, which may show that Jin is a strong and healthy human being, but blood alone is far from enough.A part of Zoe's mind was almost yelling frantically, making her see reality clearly.

The reality is that she is no longer human.obviously
