Chapter Twenty-ninth Return to the Light
The attacker's movements were extremely fast, but in Soya's eyes, it was basically no different from the slow-motion shots in the movie - the girl waved her arm shield hard, opened the machete, and then flew up and kicked the other party's waist!
The moment she kicked out, a large amount of white steam gushed out from her knee joints and ankles. With the support of the armor power, the power of this kick was magnified several times, enough to directly smash the human kidneys.
Kidney rupture will not cause death in a short period of time, but severe pain and internal bleeding can instantly cause the enemy to lose the ability to continue fighting.
The attacker immediately staggered and fell to the ground. Soya raised her legs and stepped on his back, and removed his limbs and joints very skillfully.
At this time, Ash only saw clearly that the attacker was a tall and thin man, wearing a rag cloak standard for survivors in the isolation area. Under the cloak was a cotton coat covered with patches. The cotton coat was covered with red and black blood stains, and several eye-catching claw marks, and dark yellow cotton squeezed out from the damaged area.
The man had large patches of blood-red herpes on his face, many of which had been scratched, and the smelly pus mixed with blood flowed down his face.
He is also an infected person from the plague.
Although his limbs and joints were dislocated, his body was still struggling violently, and his throat kept making unknown roars, and his eyes were covered with bloodshot and a large amount of secretions. His appearance looked really terrifying.
"This guy... could he become a monster like zombies?" Ash said with a little palpitation. The big library not only stores a large amount of academic documents, but also countless novels, miscellaneous stories and other novels written by folk writers. In Ash's impression, the "zombies" appear frequently in those books.
For example, "Resident Evil", "Zombie Siege", "Dark Season Change", etc.... are all famous "zombie" novels among the people. In this type of work, zombies have similar characteristics - for example, they are all resurrected by the dead, have no self-awareness, desire fresh flesh and blood, and are not afraid of pain... The most important thing is that the "virus" on them can be contagious, and the method of contagion is also very simple. As long as they are scratched or bitten by zombies, a healthy person will quickly become the same monster.
But what surprised Ash was... Are there any one among the zombies who can use firearms?
"Zombie? Are you talking about the bloodthirsty monster in the novel? No, he is not, he is just hallucinating." Soya took out a needle tube from her backpack, stabbed into the attacker's neck, and then pushed all the medicine inside.
"What's this?"
"sedative."
After being injected with sedatives, the attacker's struggle soon disappeared. Due to dislocating his limbs, he lay on the pile of gravels in a strange position, gasping for breath.
"Water...I want water..."
A weak cry came out of the attacker's mouth. Ashes glanced at Soya. After the latter nodded, he took out the water bag and handed it to the other party's mouth.
The attacker swallowed several gulps of water greedily until he was choked. After his cough stopped, Soya took out a sharp dagger and pressed it on his throat, and asked, "Why attack us?"
"...I...I don't know...I...I only saw monsters... so many monsters... all over the mountains...I don't want to die...I don't know I've attacked you...I..." The other party replied incoherently.
"What happened? Remember carefully and tell us that we can save your life and give you food and water." Ashes squatted down and threw the water bag with half of the remaining water next to him.
The attacker was silent for nearly four or five minutes before he could barely sort out his thoughts - although what he said was still unorganized.
"Dark season has arrived... Yes... it started from that time...Dark season has arrived early... But I have no food. I mean, I don't prepare enough food to spend the Dark season... I left my hiding place and planned to try my luck... Black fog... Black fog that covers the sky and the sun... I saw the black fog... I was frightened... Black fog rushing towards me, I wanted to escape, but my legs couldn't lift after running a few steps... I couldn't move anymore, and I couldn't see anything... I thought I was going to die."
"Then what?"
"I don't know how long it took, and I actually woke up... But I still couldn't see anything clearly. Everything was blood-red in my eyes. I felt very cold, and there were sharp screams and monster roars echoing in my ears... I wanted to go back to my residence, but I don't know why I got here...
Many people are fighting monsters... but they look similar to monsters... The whole world is twisted in my eyes, I was so scared that I started shooting at everything moving around me, I don't know why... Although I was very scared, I wanted to kill anything I saw... I don't know why I became that way..."
"Are you infected with the plague at that time?" Ashes asked.
"Plague...what plague...I'm infected with plague?" The man was stunned at first, then subconsciously reached out and touched his face - Soya had already helped him pick up the removed limbs.
"Hiss...ah!" He first screamed due to the pain, then he looked down at the pus and blood covered with his hands, and said in extreme horror: "Why...what is going on...what's wrong with me...what's the plague? Is this what you call plague?!Will I...will I die?"
"Yes... the black fog you see is actually the plague fog, but I'm very surprised. Since you were infected with the plague at that time, then your body would fall into an extremely weak state, which is almost the same as you are now... Then how did you, and those other people fight against the wild beasts after the madness?" Ashes continued to ask.
"I don't know... will I die? Are I dead?... Everyone is dead... I'm going to die too? I'm right?" After learning that he was infected with the plague, the other party's emotions that had just stabilized were approaching the brink of collapse again in just a few seconds.
"Calm down, you may not die. We have a vaccine, you can survive, we can save you - but before that, answer my question first!" Ashes grabbed his shoulder, shook his body a few times, and growled at him. Although the preventive effect of the vaccine is much greater than the therapeutic effect, it is almost useless for severely infected people, the most urgent task is to stabilize the emotions of this only living mouth, even if it is a deceptive method.
"I...I don't know..." The other party's voice suddenly became lower and lower, and his head drooped weakly, hanging on his chest, and his body tilted to one side and fell down.
"Hey—hey! What's wrong with you?!"
Ashes was shocked and quickly reached out to support him, but he found that the other party had no breathing.
"He's dead," Soya said, laying the attacker's body flat, then cutting his abdomen with a scalpel and starting to examine his organs.
"What is the cause of his death? Is the plague?" Ashes took a deep breath of the gas transported from the oxygen supply tube and asked in a low voice.
"No." Soya shook her head, "The cause of death is organ failure."
“Organ failure?”
