1144: First encounter with zombies, novice gift pack [serum]

"Sha sha sha..."

The muffled sound of rain outside the closed car window, amplified by The Black Night, had an ethereal quality.

"Huff huff!"

Gripping the steering wheel tightly, Hong Lei could clearly hear his own heart pounding and his uncontrollable, heavy breathing!

He had hit A Man!

The person he hit was sent tumbling over ten meters, and even in the pouring rain, a conspicuous pool of blood could be seen seeping from the person's body under the car lights, staining the surrounding puddles crimson!

Hong Lei admitted that he was a hooligan when he was young, and even now he was restless, but he could honestly say that he had never killed anyone!

But now...

He thought he would be sentenced, imprisoned for half his life, and his family and Child would lose their support!

Should he hide the body and destroy the evidence?

It was pouring rain now, so the traces would be easily washed away, and there were no surveillance cameras around!

After a flood of chaotic thoughts rushed into his mind, Hong Lei took deep breaths for a long while.

A moment later, he still held the door handle and opened the car door.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The tremendous, chaotic sound of the heavy rain falling instantly swept over him.

Along with the cold air born from The Black Night that filled his surroundings.

Hong Lei didn't grab an umbrella, and he couldn't bother to grab one.

Braving the cold heavy rain, he stepped towards the person he had hit earlier.

As he walked closer, step by step, Hong Lei's heart also tightened with each step.

When he arrived in front of the person lying prone on the ground, a sense of despair completely grew in Hong Lei's eyes.

Dead, his legs were broken, and his intestines were knocked out!

Now, only two choices lay before him: one was to surrender himself and be prepared to spend the rest of his life in prison!

The second was to destroy the body and evidence, but live in constant fear every day!

"Ho!"

Suddenly, in the dead silence of the rainy night, where only the sound of rain could be heard, the person who was lying on the ground on the rain-washed road, who should have been dead, suddenly opened his eyes and let out a series of sounds with unclear meaning!

This sudden sound made Hong Lei's expression freeze abruptly, followed by an incredulous gaze at the guy on the ground.

Not dead?!

"Ho!"

The person on the ground tilted his head back, his grayish-white pupils wide, and sounds continued to come from his throat.

"He's really not dead!"

With his emotions fluctuating wildly, Hong Lei was about to step forward and help the person up.

Just as his hand was about to touch the body of the guy on the ground, Hong Lei withdrew his movement.

The person was already in this state; if he touched them again, it might be a secondary injury, making the situation even more serious!

In this situation, as long as he could save the other person, he wouldn't suffer overly severe imprisonment.

Thinking this, Hong Lei pulled out his telephone from his body.

While tapping on the screen, his fingers trembled from nervousness, causing him to tap the wrong location several times.

Coupled with the washing of the rain, Hong Lei wiped his telephone again and again.

"Ho!"

The 'person' on the ground who had completely lost his legs, at this moment, moved his body towards Hong Lei, conveying a sense of urgency.

Like a vicious dog that had been hungry for three days, craving food!

"Hello?"

At this moment, the call finally connected, and a voice appeared on the other end of the telephone.

Hong Lei kept his emotions steady: "Is this the ambulance?

Someone here is seriously injured..."

"Ah, damn it!"

After Hong Lei explained the situation relatively calmly and asked for an ambulance to come and save the person, he felt a pain in his calf, which made him curse aloud.

Looking down, the severely injured guy on the ground, while he was talking to the ambulance personnel, had already bitten his calf!

And he was biting tightly, as if trying to tear off a piece of flesh!

Enduring the pain, he pried the other person's head open and looked at his calf; there was already a clear blood mark, and even the skin and flesh were bitten open!

"Damn it, could this guy have rabies?"

Looking at the injured area which was faintly turning black, the irritation in Hong Lei's heart temporarily overcame his fear.

Bending down, he dragged and held the other person, bringing them to a nearby bus stop shelter where the rain couldn't reach.

While standing in the bus stop shelter, Hong Lei suddenly noticed something about the guy's body, and his expression changed again.

"Dee doo dee doo dee doo..."

While waiting, the ambulance in the distance was already approaching with the sound of its siren.

...

County Hospital.

Hong Lei followed the ambulance all the way here.

At this time, he still hadn't called the police.

He knew that once he called the police, he would be taken away without even having time to come to the County Hospital to see his family.

Although coming to see his family now didn't have much meaning, thinking that he might not see them for many years to come, this last glance became very meaningful.

Fortunately, the person hadn't died; when he was brought onto the ambulance by the Nurse, he was still twisting his body lively.

To prevent him from moving too violently and worsening his injuries, the anesthetist even gave him two shots of anesthetic, which finally calmed him down.

But was the guy he hit really not dead?

Standing outside the County Hospital gate, watching the guy being pushed into the ICU by a group of Nurses and Doctors, Hong Lei suddenly questioned himself!

During the time he was waiting for the ambulance, he dragged the guy to the bus stop shelter nearby to wait.

And during this process, he saw a scene that he could never calm down from!

Heart!

This guy's heart, at the moment he dragged the person, fell out from his ruptured belly!

Without a heart, can a person still live?

Obviously impossible!

That guy should have been a dead person, a dead person who couldn't move!

Rubbing his dry throat, A Man took out a cigarette pack from his pocket, picked out a cigarette that hadn't been wet by the rain, and put it in his mouth with trembling fingers.

"Click~ click~"

He pressed the lighter twice, but no Fire came out.

He shook it in his hand: "Click~"

A bright Fire jumped out from the lighter, but when he moved his hand closer, his arm was trembling due to his restless heart, and he couldn't light the cigarette for a while.

"Damn it."

Biting the cigarette, Hong Lei put the item back in his pocket, wiped his face, and his expression calmed down a little.

Anyway, he should go and see his family first.

Thinking this, just as Hong Lei took a step, he suddenly felt the pain in his calf intensify significantly!

Frowning, he lifted his pant leg.

The scene before him made Hong Lei's eyelids twitch.

The wound he had just been bitten by that person had completely turned black, and the surrounding skin had become pale, with only spiderweb-like purple veins spreading outwards from the wound!

His situation looked like he was poisoned!

"Ding~ Host, you have a newbie gift package, please check and claim it."

Suddenly, a voice appeared by his ear.

The appearance of this voice immediately attracted Hong Lei's attention.

It was also this voice that made him recall the voice he heard before receiving Lin Yue's wife's telephone call!

At that time, he was looking at the words on the flowerpot, and after saying them, a voice that appeared inexplicably emerged in his mind.

Now, this voice appeared again!

"Wai Bi Ba Bu?"

Realizing something, Hong Lei responded with uncertainty.

After this voice fell, his expression changed abruptly!

He saw that directly in front of him, a screen of light appeared!

Passersby around him hurried back and forth, and no one seemed to see the large screen of light in front of him!

Within this screen of light, his personal data was actually displayed!

Host: Hong Lei

Energy: 0

Owned Plants: [Sunflower * 1]

Owned Plant Codex: [Sunflower] (Unlock more by achieving different accomplishments)

Warning: The Host's body is currently being invaded by the Zombie virus.

If not treated with serum in time, in ten minutes, you will become a Zombie without self-awareness, only craving to bite healthy people to spread the virus.

On the panel, Hong Lei didn't understand the first row of attribute panels, but the final warning completely focused his attention!

He was infected with a virus!

And it would fully take effect in ten minutes!

The consequence was that he would turn into a monster!

From the System's warning message, Hong Lei quickly summarized the situation.

"Host, the newbie gift package has not been claimed yet.

Do you want to claim the package reward?"

Ye Tian reminded him in time.

And this voice made Hong Lei feel like his last straw, so he nodded in agreement and said: "Claim!"

"Ding~ Congratulations Host, you have received the newbie reward, [Serum * 3]."

[Serum]: Three serums, which can ensure that you and your family will not face the risk of infection during the Zombie crisis.

The moment Ye Tian's voice fell, Hong Lei felt his hand sink, and three disposable syringes appeared.
