The End of the World: I am a rent collector in a shelter

Chapter 143: Semi-Infected

To be precise, it was not Zhan Yu who moved, but a faint green light appeared around his body.

Ji Wanwan recognized at a glance that this was wood energy.

Looking closely, this wood energy is not pure, and there is a hint of scarlet inside.

This energy beam revolved around Zhan Yu, getting faster and faster, until Zhan Yu suddenly opened his eyes, and the energy wave returned to Zhan Yu's body.

Ji Wanwan was stunned.

What is this operation?

Never seen it before!
The moment Zhan Yu opened his eyes, Ji Wanwan subconsciously held her breath.

After Zhan Yu opened his eyes, he lay on the ground for a long time without moving.

Just when Ji Wanwan was even wondering if Zhan Yu was having a last burst of energy, Zhan Yu suddenly sat up, scaring Ji Wanwan so much that she gasped and almost got teleported away.

Hearing the noise, Zhan Yu looked over sideways.

Seeing that Zhan Yu's eyes were still bloodshot, but his pupils had returned to normal size, Ji Wanwan tried to call out, "Brother Zhan?"

Zhan Yu responded faintly: "Don't worry, there is no mutation."

Seeing through her, Ji Wanwan laughed dryly: "Haha, that's good."

The air fell into a strange silence, but Zhan Yu just sat there and refused to leave. Ji Wanwan's toes curled up.

Pursing her lips, Ji Wanwan was the first to break the silence: "Well, what are you going to do next?"

Zhan Yu said calmly: "Wait for you."

Ji Wanwan: “?”

Seeing her confused face, Zhan Yu added: "Xu Siming looks at you with an unclean look in his eyes, so he can't just abandon you. You can sit here calmly, there must be some plan between you two, and I plan to act with you after your plan starts to be implemented."

Ji Wanwan felt embarrassed at this, what did he mean by having dirty eyes?

After she finished her speech, she couldn't help but give Zhan Yu a thumbs up: "Brother Zhan, you are also very sharp!"

Zhan Yu snorted and laughed: "Thank you, thank you."

Ji Wanwan: “…”

It must be said that after being infected with the virus, Zhan Yu's speech became very dry and without any humanity, just like Xia Li.

Wait, Xia Li...

Yes, Xia Li became a zombie hunter because he was infected with the virus.

After a brief thought, Ji Wanwan looked at Zhan Yu outside the cage: "Well, Brother Zhan, can I touch you?"

Zhan Yu: "?"

He looked at Ji Wanwan meaningfully, as if silently accusing her of being a female hooligan.

This look...

Ji Wanwan: “…”

Forget it, ignorance is not a crime.

Ji Wanwan: "Don't get me wrong, I'm studying life sciences. I saw that you seemed to be a corpse, so I wanted to touch your skin to see if it was different from that of a normal person."

After hearing this, Zhan Yu's expression became much better, although he was still a little suspicious and wary.

Ji Wanwan, who has never been interested in men, was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

She never expected that a career-oriented woman like her would one day be regarded as a female hooligan.

Seeing Zhan Yu dithering, Ji Wanwan's face turned fierce: "Brother, hurry up! I'm locked in a cage. Even if I want to do something to you, I'm powerless!"

"Ahem..." Zhan Yu was embarrassed when his thoughts were seen through: "Don't get me wrong, I just want to confirm whether the surroundings are safe. I don't want to be ambushed again!" Having said that, Zhan Yu's steps were indeed a little faster.

He stretched out his hand awkwardly.

Ji Wanwan didn't say much. She immediately held his wrist and observed him while testing him with equivalent treatment.

[The opponent's mental strength is 90%, vitality is 90%, and he is half infected. Equivalent treatment is ineffective against him. ]

The system prompts rang in my ears.

Ji Wanwan narrowed her eyes.

Indeed, although Zhan Yu's skin still retained its elasticity and temperature, its color had turned slightly sickly grayish white, somewhat similar to those zombies that had just mutated.

Ji Wanwan: [What is the difference between a semi-infected person and a zombie hunter? ]

System: [Zombie Hunters can be understood as virus fusions, and semi-infected people are virus symbionts.
In other words, the genetic sequence of the virus perfectly merged with Xia Li's genetic sequence, allowing Xia Li to evolve into a zombie hunter. This is also the reason why Xia Li can upgrade infinitely.

As for the semi-infected, the body's immune ability and the virus's infectious ability have reached a delicate balance, with the two presenting a symbiotic state, allowing the semi-infected to retain some human intelligence and possess some zombie abilities. Therefore, the semi-infected can only maintain their current state and cannot evolve.

There is another point that needs special attention. The delicate balance in the body of a semi-infected person is both tenacious and fragile. Once the balance is destroyed, the semi-infected person will instantly mutate into a zombie. It can be said to be a time bomb. Please do not approach or employ such people easily. 】

The system’s explanation was very professional, and Ji Wanwan immediately understood the difference.

She let go of his hand: "Brother Zhan, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Zhan Yu shook his head: "I don't feel uncomfortable, but everything I see is red, which is a bit uncomfortable."

"Ah, this..." Ji Wanwan was speechless: "It's good that you don't feel uncomfortable."

As soon as the words fell, the entire corpse refining ground shook, and dust and rubble fell down. Then the lights in the room flickered twice, and then went out with a "hiss". The entire corpse refining ground fell into darkness, and some terrified shouts were heard from all directions.

"What's going on?" Ji Wanwan was still in the cage at this time, and subconsciously raised her hand to grab the iron cage bars.

Zhan Yu saw this and smashed the door lock with his fist: "I'll go out and take a look."

Ji Wanwan also opened the door and walked out.

The corpse refining field was pitch black, with only a faint light flickering from the small power storage device in the zombie pit.

Those who were originally screaming and running away fell silent the moment they saw Zhan Yu coming out.

Ji Wanwan is in better physical condition now. She saw at a glance that those younger brothers who had already run to the gate of the corpse refining ground turned back in despair.

It seems that they locked the door to the corpse refining ground.

Zhan Yu also noticed this and immediately strode to the explosion-proof door.

When the younger brothers saw him, they all trembled with fear.

But Zhan Yu simply disdained these people and didn't even look at them.

He raised his hand to touch the door, then punched it hard.

The door didn't move.

Zhan Yu frowned, but Ji Wanwan was calm as expected.

After all, although Zhan Yu is a half-infected person and his physical fitness is several times stronger than that of ordinary people, he is still a flesh and blood body. How can he compete with steel?

Seeing that Zhan Yu had no way to deal with this, the younger brothers became even more desperate.

Ji Wanwan looked at Zhan Yu soothingly: "Don't worry, wait for news from Old Xu."

A day has passed, and I believe that Old Xu will be here soon.

The wood energy in Zhan Yu's palm surged rapidly, repairing his hand which was injured from smashing the door.

He looked at Ji Wanwan meaningfully: "Can you tell me what your plan is?"
