The first chapter of the black cloud shrouded city

Jiangnan City, Huarong District.

An apartment building to the north, the style is a bit old, and the mottled walls reveal the age of the building.

Dominguez lives on the seventh floor of this apartment, a total of fifteen floors high, which can be said to be at a not too high or not too low level.

And at this time, in the window of the seventh floor, a thin Xiao’s figure leaning against the window extension frown.

One meter seventy-five height, coupled with a thick head of hair, slightly mature face covered with sadness. The thick, moist lips are flooded with half-inch-long scruff.

Dominguez looked out the window at the overcast sky and was mentally blocked.

Not for any other reason, simply because of the work and the strange scene in front of us.

I just graduated half a year ago, it was hard to find a job. But because of a mistake when meeting a big client, was always looking at their own displeasure of the boss to find a reason to fire.

Hey.

With a heavy sigh, Dominguez jerked his face down as if trying to lift his spirits.

But the eyes unintentionally glanced out the window again, just improved mood and hit the bottom, eyes full of doubts and worries.

Through the window, looking upward. I saw a black cloud with a diameter of ten miles away covering the sky over the small city.

Wow.

Dominguez pulls in the curtains to isolate the window from the scene outside.

Twenty open square meters of the room is cluttered, a single bed cluttered with clothes and beer bottles, a table in the house, a nineteen-inch television set is very striking.

Because it was the only appliance in this snail’s pace home.

Lying smoothly on the bed, Dominguez pulled out his phone and checked the time.

The screen of the falling paint shows a line on August 16, 13:01. "Dominguez reached under the bed and pulled out a cardboard box after half a day.

The white hand touched inside, but it was empty as wild, the instant noodles were finished.

Two weeks ago, Dominguez was fired from his job on the pretext of the company. After a week’s rest, I wanted to find a job again, but did not want to suddenly out of line change, then Dominguez simply bought a few boxes of instant noodles, completely snail living in this two hundred dollars to rent the room, do not leave home.

Twisting and turning, Dominguez rubbed his stomach. After thinking about it, he decided to go out, although because of the dark clouds over the city, martial law was imposed downtown and citizens were cautioned not to come and go as they pleased.

But people always have to eat right? After three days had passed, martial law was still in place, but it was very relaxed, after all, that black cloud looked very strange, but nothing else had changed.

Even if the end is coming, it is still not play for life running around.

Dominguez straightened his appearance, put on his coat, grabbed the bag full of garbage at the door and left the house.

Although it is still August, the weather is a bit chilly and has a situation that is getting worse.

All this was caused by the black cloud overhead, and even the cell phone signal was affected.

When the black clouds appeared, Dominguez thought it was a spectacle and called his classmates off-site, and by then the phone started to murmur, and after less than five minutes of talking, the call had to be disconnected because the murmur was so bad.

Down the hallway, Dominguez did not choose to take the elevator, not because there was no electricity, but felt unsafe, especially with that eerie black cloud still hanging overhead.

There were very few people on the building, and when they went down to the first floor, Dominguez only ran into two people, and that was the occupants of their own building, a family of three, working abroad, and by the looks of it, it should be the father picking up their little girl from school.

After leaving the apartment, Dominguez walked straight towards the entrance of the neighborhood, where there was a supermarket.

Huarong district in the downtown location, out of the door is a large highway, diagonally opposite hundreds of meters away is the city’s first medical hospital, at the end of the road, more than seven miles of suburbs, is the Jiangnan University of Nationalities.

The traffic flow on the road is less than half of the usual more than the original lively neighborhood because of the dark clouds overhead is very cold.

Dominguez went to the supermarket and bought two boxes of square surface, plus some fruit, and ran in a panic towards his place.

I don’t know why, as soon as the naked under the black clouds, Dominguez felt a chill down his spine, there is a total seepage of atmosphere.

That’s why Dominguez didn’t want to look for a job after he lost his job, even though he only had enough money left over for next month’s rent and living expenses.

Every time he came out of the building, Dominguez’s heart churned so much.

Although he does not believe in ghosts and gods, his intuition tells him that something unusual will happen.

After jogging upstairs, Dominguez made instant noodles, washed an apple, and turned on the TV.

Due to the signal, the TV can only put out two stations, Central One and Jiangnan TV.

Tuning in the TV, Dominguez watched with his bubble noodles.

The white streak was interspersed with a zipping sound, which was due to the signal. But Dominguez watched with great attention.

Dear viewers, now you are watching the inquiry program of Jiangnan TV …… As Professor Qin said, the black clouds hanging over our heads are not a disaster, it’s just a natural phenomenon …… Of course, the public should still reduce travel and stay at home as much as possible, I believe our experts will soon come up with research results to break the coming clouds and let us see the light again ……

Dominguez fiercely sucked noodles, licked the soup at the corner of his mouth: ‘This Professor Qin in the previous years of the Jiangnan Police Department sinkhole incident in that expert? I said how so familiar it is? It seems that he is really an expert, money-making experts! What a show really can’t do without him."

Dominguez drank up his noodle juice and switched to Central One, which was showing a meeting of national leaders.

"With a ‘pop,’ Dominguez turned off the TV.

It’s still the same argument for settling the mood, as if nothing has changed much.

But Dominguez feels different, especially in the past few days, by observing the black clouds overhead and realizing that it is actually slowly changing.

At the beginning, the weather was not so cold, although the sky was covered with black clouds.

From more than thirty degrees down to about ten degrees at once, anyone would feel bizarre.

There is also the black cloud actually has a black gas diffusion open.

Dominguez does not believe that such an obvious change those experts and professors can not find, if not when the black cloud appeared, the city took decisive measures to drop the network disconnected, and to calm the people, I am afraid the consequences are unimaginable.

To be honest, Dominguez is actually very afraid of death, probably because of the impact of the death of his parents when he was young, Dominguez is very sensitive to death.

If it were not for the downtown allowed in and not allowed out, Dominguez would have left, which would still be here worried and afraid.

Listen to God, perhaps you think too much about it?

Dominguez pulled back a curtain, it was still after two o’clock in the afternoon, yet there was only a faint luminosity outside, and the streetlights were all on.

As usual, Dominguez took a stool in front of the window and observed the black clouds overhead.

It’s still too early to sleep, so it’s a good choice to pass the time with this.

Touching the scruff on his chin, some stinging, it was time to shave his beard.

Dominguez boiled hot water, put on a good blade, shave some soap, while shaving, while surveying the black clouds in the sky.

Suddenly, Dominguez’s hand shook and the sharp blade cut through his cheek and blood gushed out.

But Dominguez was so unaware that he just grinned, his eyes fixed on the black clouds above him, his face pale.

There, black clouds rolled, and something seemed to be coming out of it, with loathsome monstrous shadows and the heads of beasts with bloody mouths faintly visible.

What is that… What?

Dominguez murmured, his heart seized hard, with a feeling of breathlessness.

Seemingly not quite convinced, Dominguez touched his eyelids and looked again, but there was nothing.

Turning around, Dominguez couldn’t help but say, Luckily I was the one who looked at it, how could something weird like that happen? It must have been a blur?

But Dominguez, who turned around, didn’t notice that in that black cloud, a dark light suddenly flew out and shot straight down, and looking at its direction, it was the seventh floor where Dominguez was.

What is this? Just peeled off a band-aid, a sudden heart palpitation, Dominguez looked back, almost did not under half dead.

A dark light passed through the still open window and pointed directly at Dominguez, the front part of the light mass was a hideous skull.

White bones, gusts of gloomy wind, Dominguez face a cold, feel something along the wound into the body. But then his head sank and he passed out from the pain.

Chapter 2: The Skeleton Treasure

The change in the black clouds, on the nerves of the tense downtown residents, and a hard dial.

Like a broken string, the string of the heart for days is finally snapped open.

Some of those who could not stand it, completely broke out.

As a direct result of this, there has been a sharp rise in violence downtown, with sirens blaring, adding to the fears.

In some places, there was even a thick smoke.

But what was going on outside had no effect on Dominguez.

In the room on the seventh floor, Dominguez sat frozen on the bed, his eyes full of doubt and worry, seemingly mixed with a little uncertainty.

Dominguez woke up an hour ago, but was so shocked by the information in his head that he couldn’t take it in for a while and stayed sitting still for a long time.

The wounds on his face had disappeared, and even the slightest scar was not left behind. If not for the information he received in his head, Dominguez would have thought that everything that happened earlier was a dream.

Suddenly, Dominguez’s eyes lit up and he seemed to have figured it out, whispering, What should be faced must be faced, maybe this is an opportunity too?

A heartbeat, only to see its forehead flew out a gray light, quietly suspended in front of Dominguez’s, body.

The haze dispersed and inside was actually an ancient book.

The antique books are one inch thick, fifteen inches long, and about ten inches wide.

Sensual coldness came out from the books.

The first page of the ancient book, the root of the white bones composed of lace seepage incomparable, in its central location, a white skull quietly suspended, two empty sockets, the ghostly fire flickers, seems to be living things.

Dominguez suppressed the amazement in his heart and continued to look, only to see the sides of the skull, there are several characters, not any kind of writing on Earth, but Dominguez recognized.

Skeleton Treasure Code, exactly these four words, which is also the name of this ancient book.

Dominguez opened the skeleton treasures, into the hands of the silky smooth as juan, but a gentle flick, but it feels as hard as iron, and do not know what material is made of.

Turning over the skeleton treasures, quietly looking at them, there is actually a table of contents.

Dominguez walked around, just a general look, but also took up a lot of time.

With a searing heat in his eyes, Dominguez stroked the skeleton feeling the coldness, but his mind changed a lot.

What would it be like to have everything inside for my use!

That’s what’s on Dominguez’s mind at the moment.

The Skeleton Treasure Code, looking at its table of contents, can be divided into a total of three volumes.

The first part, the summoning chapter, is the longest and most informative part, mainly a variety of spells to summon skeletons, including the lowest level of the primary skeleton soldiers, as well as the undead dragon that makes the heart rise in admiration.

The second part, then, is the magic chapter. As the name implies, it is the length of the battle through learning magic. This part of the content is also quite a lot, and can be subdivided into combat magic chapter, auxiliary magic chapter and protective magic chapter.

The last part is the physique chapter. This is the volume with the least amount of content, only tens of pages. It is estimated that the original owner of the Skeleton Treasure Code is a skeleton master who focuses on summoning and magic.

On the last few pages of the treasure book is a shocking secret.

Dominguez is still in shock.

The last few pages of characters were obviously added later, somewhat scribbled, and the account was about the invasion of the foreigners.

The black clouds that enveloped the sky above Jiangnan City were the precursor to the invasion of the alien race.

According to the records of the former owner of the treasure code, the skeleton master of an unknown realm, this black cloud was made by those cyborg.

At the end of his life, the skeleton master transmitted this skeleton treasure book through a secret technique, hoping that someone would pick it up and be prepared.

The skeleton master said he only learned a small part of the summoning techniques and magic in this book, he was able to save his life in the first few stages of the cyborg invasion massacre, but unfortunately died in the end in the endless pursuit.

Through the tone of voice, Dominguez felt its deep resignation, if you give him more time, I’m afraid that the skeleton master can live to the end may also be said.

Dominguez clenched his fists, I will survive.

Although Dominguez fears death, but that does not mean weakness, when there is no turning back, when the courage to move forward.

Looked out of the window, the black clouds, tumbling clouds filled out, and in a few hours, I’m afraid those fogs will enter the city.

It’s really the same as the description in the treasure book.

Now with nine levels of certainty, it is certain that the Earth has also been invaded and that the fog that spread out is a virus.

When this virus invades the organism, it mutates a portion of the weak and sickly such as the elderly and children, becoming bloodthirsty and crazy.

Feeling the time crunch, Dominguez flipped open the Skeleton Treasure and prepared to learn summoning techniques for the next contingency.

Turn the first page of the treasure dictionary, in its left hand side recorded as the owner of the treasure dictionary of various data.

Title:Skeleton Apprentice

Grade:Level 1

Spirituality:Level 1

Magic power:Level 1

Physique:weak

Learning summoning and magic requires mental power. Originally, according to Dominguez’s situation, his mental power standard was zero, but due to the exposure to the Skeleton Treasure Code, the Code raised his mental power by one level.

Zero mental power is not the same as no mental power, and the same weak physique is only judged according to the standard of the PoD, not that Dominguez is a sick person.

The characters on the summoning chapter are gray, only a primary skeleton soldier summoning art a few characters for white, indicating that you can learn.

Dominguez reluctantly searched again, the magic chapter and the physical chapter are gray.

It’s the only way to learn this.

Dominguez collected his mind, extended his right index finger, pressed it on a few characters of Primary Skeleton Soldier Summoning Technique, and began to learn.

A silky cool alien penetrated Dominguez’s body through the character.

The original white character actually entered the brain along its arm after Dominguez’s finger held it over.

If Dominguez hadn’t been prepared, I’m afraid the summoning study would have been interrupted.

After a few moments of work, Dominguez felt an epiphany in his head, and the characters turned from white to dark red, and the learning was complete.

Dominguez exhaled lightly, a little excited, but immediately serious again.

The learning of summoning is still only the first step, the next step is crucial.

Summon Primary Skeleton Soldier

Dominguez sat quietly on the bed, legs crossed, concentrating on mental meditation, and in his brain, mental energy slowly coalesced.

At that moment, Dominguez’s hands moved continuously, and a series of obscure incantations emerged from his mouth.

In the position in front of its body, the eerie cold gas slowly condensed, and finally actually appeared a skeleton soldier with a full body of white bones.

The junior skeleton soldier, about one meter two in height, flashed two green flames in its hollow eyes, while on its right hand, it held a white bone sword.

It’s done.

Dominguez opened his eyes, his head was a little dizzy and his spirits were a little low.

But seeing the skeleton soldiers in front of you, some of the fatigue was swept away.

The primary skeleton soldier looks a bit odd, but Dominguez feels a close connection to it.

To the door.

The junior skeleton soldier was very quick to complete the command, not a dinky bone, but as long as it was swift.

Next, Dominguez, like a child who has found a good toy, speaks a series of commands, and the skeleton soldier completes them all very well.

Attack the wall.

The junior skeleton soldier raised his right hand and actually used his sword as a sword, slashing it out at once.

Pfft.

An inch-deep sword mark immediately appeared on the wall, thrilling Dominguez.

Such a sharp white bone sword, I’m afraid that even steel can cut it, I wonder what it would be like to cut on a flesh and blood body.

Ten minutes later, with a clatter, the primary skeleton soldier scattered and finally turned into a white smoke, dissipating inside the house.

The summoning time is up, Dominguez only has one level of mental power, which means he can only summon skeleton soldiers with a time limit.

Take out your phone and look at the time, it’s already 6:45.

Flipping through his address book, he found a few familiar names and Dominguez dialed them.

Beep ~ the user you have dialed is temporarily unavailable ~

A few calls in a row, all of them, and finally Dominguez had to give up.

I wanted to let a few friends from other places to be careful, but now it seems that we can only leave each other in peace.

Dominguez does not believe that the mutation only in Jiangnan City, other places will certainly also have mutations, but it is only a matter of time, perhaps they have already happened there may be?

As for the police, Dominguez originally had such plans, but once he thought of what he saw yesterday, he dismissed the idea.

Yesterday afternoon, Dominguez was at the window and witnessed a yelling man take away.

And what Dominguez heard the man say was that the end was near and everyone was bound to die.

Dominguez doesn’t know if he’s crazy, but he’s certainly a fool.

Dominguez doesn’t want to be arrested as a lunatic, so it’s best to keep quiet.

The lights outside the window mapped out the oppressive black clouds overhead. Dominguez felt the urgency of time and had to recover his mental strength first.

Taking the Skull and Bones treasure dictionary, Dominguez fell into a meditative state, which would help the mental energy recover faster. The original two hours, with the help of the treasure dictionary, would only take an hour and a half to recover the depleted mental energy.

Chapter 3 Black Mist

Time passed quietly, and before you know it, more than an hour had passed.

The entire Jiangnan downtown area was shrouded under a black cloud, and the black fog that spread out finally flooded between the buildings.

Under the black fog envelope, actually even the light can not penetrate through.

The noise resounded throughout the city, with car accidents, the entire city, including the surrounding suburbs for miles, was soaked in black fog that on the road, even face to face, you don’t always recognize each other’s faces.

The time now is 9:00 p.m. The city of Jiangnan is gripped with fear, and from this moment on, everyone knows that the expert’s words are a lie.

Some people were scared and hid in their homes to pray, while others were bold enough to feel their way out of the city in the dark fog.

Within the Flower Wing subdivision, a figure flashed out of an apartment building to the north.

Tightly wrapped coat, still handsome head left and right patrol, mouth from time to time exhaled a breath of hot air, forming a white mist in the air.

This person is Dominguez, half an hour ago to recover completely, considering that there are still some things not prepared, this just braved the black fog, groping downstairs.

Seven floors high, it takes less than half a minute to do the elevator, and even going down the stairs, in normal times, is at most a two or three minute affair.

However, today, at this moment, Dominguez took almost half an hour to reach the first floor.

This damn black fog. Although he knew the fog would not have much effect on him, Dominguez was still a bit beaten up inside.

Just as many people know that arsenic can cure diseases, but are reluctant to try the same reason.

Dominguez certainly wouldn’t have come out if it weren’t for the need for food.

Cautious and timid by nature, he is not going to easily expose himself to danger, not to mention that he knows how frightening it is.

These black mists, carrying viruses, will bring about terrible mutations in the infected creatures.

Of course, not all creatures will be infected, only the old and the sick will be infected. It should be said that the rate of infection in this group is much greater than the incidence of infection in young adults.

Dominguez Zhang collects some food while the virus is not outbreak.

Those instant noodles inside the snail’s house, Dominguez is not want to eat anymore, the mouth is almost faded out of a bird.

The destination is not far, still in the same supermarket outside the neighborhood.

Dominguez squinted and moved his legs and feet in small steps, relying on the blurred building markings to finally get out of the neighborhood.

There are still a few lights on the road, and there are flashes of fire further away, so it must have been a car accident.

These are none of Dominguez’s business, shrugged his nose, found some cold, Dominguez tighten down the coat, speed up a little.

Who?

Suddenly, there was a flash of darkness in front of him, and Dominguez’s heart clenched, almost jumping out of his chest, and he shouted.

It’s me.

The guy across the street seemed to jump, too, and said something nonsense and ran away.

Dominguez swallowed a mouthful of saliva, cursing in his heart: Dog days, do not know that people scare people, will scare people to death?!

No time to pay attention to what the man was doing, Dominguez cursed in his heart, and finally found the door of the supermarket.

Reach out and push.

With a crash, the chain on the glass door actually fell off and hit the ground with a crisp sound.

But Dominguez was startled, the dark fog could not see the situation, Dominguez did not expect the supermarket door was actually open.

Is the supermarket still open in such a scenario?

With a puzzled feeling, Dominguez stomped into the supermarket and casually closed the door.

The concentration of black fog in the supermarket is much lower than outside, and you can see within four or five meters.

The overhead lights made a zipping sound from time to time, and Dominguez scanned the large supermarket, which was empty.

The drawer on the checkout counter was pried open, and there were several coins scattered on the ground, while some goods were scattered on the floor of the supermarket.

Dominguez suddenly thought of the man he had just met and was suspicious that he had done all this.

But Dominguez has no intention of going to the police. This scenario, in the eyes of the police, I’m afraid, is also trivial.

Skeleton treasure code has a storage space, you can put the outside world in it to save, but because Dominguez only one level of spiritual power, can dispose of the space is only a cubic meter hit small.

The size of this one cubic meter, must also be Dominguez hand holding the Skeleton Treasure Code to open, because without the assistance of the Skeleton Treasure Code, his spiritual power is only zero level, want to open the storage space, that is the door do not know where to find.

So now, in the supermarket, there is a bizarre sight of an obscene young man, holding a book in his hand, wandering back and forth.

From time to time also hitched around the mouth and face of the towel, the look to have more flattened on the more flattened.

What should I get? Drinks, a couple of bottles, beef jerky? Have some. Milk? Have some too. ……

In the end, it was quite a bit of picking up the sesame seeds and losing the watermelon, thinking that a little bit of everything should come, but the space does not allow it.

In the end, Dominguez chose a bucket of pure water, two packages of beef jerky and 30 pounds of rice, as well as some milk and other household items, filling a cubic meter of space to the brim.

When exiting the supermarket, Dominguez put some banknotes on the register, although only the end of the things taken, but at least give some not.

This is also done just in case there are cameras inside the supermarket, Dominguez does not want to be taken for a thief, although his own behavior is more shameful than a thief.

A refreshed Dominguez exited the supermarket as the temperature outside was getting colder.

Dominguez sneezed: I’m afraid the temperature is only a few degrees, no, I have to go get some cold medicine.

Aware of the crisis of the situation, Dominguez does not want to become sick, so his chances of contracting the virus increase.

Fortunately, there was a hospital nearby, and Dominguez stumbled along the road, heading in the direction of the hospital.

There were some cars parked sporadically on the road, the black fog was filling in gradually, and most people didn’t drive out again when the visibility dropped so much.

Most of these parked cars are private cars that are too late to return, or large trucks carrying goods.

Dominguez also saw a smashed car, the entire body of which was sunk under the chassis of the truck in front of it, leaving crimson blood on it, but it had dried up.

It took dozens of minutes for Dominguez to finally arrive at the hospital entrance.

A pile of scrap iron skeleton, burning a roaring fire, vaguely recognizable among them there is actually a convertible sports car, but now only a little tail.

The fire dispersed the black fog in the surrounding area of about ten meters cleanly, and also illuminated a building next to it.

Jiangnan First Medical Center

Dominguez looked at the fire in front of him, with an emergency vehicle parked next to it. These black mists were actually afraid of fire, something Dominguez did not know.

Of course, now that I have seen it with my own eyes, it will certainly help in the future, at least know what to use to illuminate it is not?

Dominguez looked in through the broken window, only some simple medical equipment.

Looking at the open door of the hospital, Dominguez heart some hesitation, the interior of the hospital is dark, nothing can be seen, even if Dominguez is an atheist before, but in their own what happened after that kind of thing, their own heart to the ghosts and gods also some awe, let alone in the hospital this place.

Shaking his head to dispel the nonsense in his head, Dominguez laughed to himself: Thanks to myself, I’m still a skeleton apprentice, even skeletons have to listen to me, what else is there to be afraid of?

With a torch made from scrap steel bars on the ground and discarded fabric found in the car, Dominguez went into the hospital.

The black smoke from the torches smelled bad, but Dominguez couldn’t care less at this point and ran straight for the back of the hospital.

Jiangnan First Medical, Dominguez has been here before and knows that there is a warehouse for drugs at the back of this hospital, across the front hall.

The light of the torch can only illuminate the scene around a meter or so, the wavering firelight will Dominguez’s projection imprinted on the wall, open teeth and claws, the snow-white walls still seem to carry dark red blood, only Dominguez, who is bent on running to the medicine store, did not notice.

Chapter 4: Zombies

The hospital was silent, a torch waved forward.

Dominguez footsteps quickly, look a little nervous, too quiet, a large hospital, actually did not even see a shadow, and not even a little sound.

Crossing the vestibule, Dominguez touched the front of a flashing iron door, behind which was the hospital’s inpatient department, where the drug store was also located.

Luckily, the door was unlocked.

Dominguez pushed open the iron door and first looked inside, it was dark and not at all clear.

Black fog filled the hospital, and with this particular place, it made people’s heads numb.

Touched the wall switch, toggled back and forth a few times, no response at all.

Like the hall, this backyard also lost power. The hospital is a special place, normally the power will not be cut off, just now in the supermarket when there is still electricity, indicating that it is not a problem with the power supply station.

Could there be a situation inside the hospital? The black fog had been invading the city for some time, and it was possible that the power had been turned off inside the hospital.

Dominguez walked toward a six-story high floor on his left, where the drug store was located.

The distance of more than ten meters, and all flat ground, soon arrived.

There is a faint smell of blood in the air, Dominguez frowned, did not think much of it, after all, this is a hospital, a little blood smell is very normal.

Dominguez passed the stairway and did not go up. The drug store is not upstairs, this is the inpatient unit, the first floor as well as the floors above are for hospitalization, the drug store is in the basement.

In college, Dominguez studied medical nursing and later switched to finance with honors.

Dominguez came to this hospital a few times during his internship before graduation, only because a crush was interning here and was in charge of picking up this piece of medicine, so Dominguez still had some impressions of this pharmacy.

The basement is at the end of the hallway on the first floor.

Dominguez, with the torch in his hand, easily reached the basement door.

The doorway was wide open.

Could there be someone inside? Dominguez thought to himself.

Sensing the unusual nature of the situation, Dominguez did not dare to go straight down.

The medicine store belongs to the hospital’s important place, which is normally closed, and you can only enter when you pick up your medicine, and you need a key.

Even if it is the effect of the black fog, the hospital staff have run home, this medicine store should be closed to ah.

The more you think about it, the more you feel that the wrong Dominguez quietly listening to know whether there is movement below.

Knock knock~

The side of the face in the black lacquer door position, really heard a little rattling, very slight, do not listen carefully is not heard.

Anyone? Dominguez exclaimed, continuing to tilt his head sideways.

The thud in the basement stalled for a moment, and Dominguez didn’t have time to wonder when he suddenly heard a hissing sound, which felt like the usual grunt from severed vocal cords, followed by a running sound.

Dominguez heart a sudden, this is the call of what? Suddenly thought of a possibility, the back are cold sweat, face instantly pale.

A rotten smell came out, Dominguez just turned around, smelled the smell and couldn’t help but twist around.

Ah~

Dominguez saw what was behind him and almost didn’t pass out straight away.

A meter behind it, a human-shaped thing stood, and the stench emanated precisely from its body.

Say it is a human type, because from its part of the characteristics, indeed, is a human-like, but it is very much doubtful that he is still human now?

The vile face, several pus bags still flowing white liquid, white skin, blocks of dead spots, so that people wonder if he is living through the corpse, the eye sockets, the two eyes are just the whites of the eyes.

Dominguez scared to move, the heart can not help but curse: to find medicine, actually stumbled upon such a thing, a little fart cold, a few days is not good, this is good, I’m afraid it is not good to go away.

The monster behind him sizzled, raised both hands, opened its mouth wide and lunged at Dominguez.

Oh my god, help. A blood poured, Dominguez saw the monster’s mouth, actually fell out of a few pieces of meat fast.

Swung the torch and hit it, sparks, the torch immediately darkened a lot, Dominguez lifted his feet and ran.

An angry hiss came from behind, the monster chased after, the blood-stained white clothes on fire, but actually all right.

Damn it, can’t run away. Sensing the approaching monster behind him, Dominguez hurriedly pulled open a nearby door and dug in.

Bang.

Making a strong effort to bring the door with him, Dominguez pressed the room’s hospital bed against the back of the door by the faint light of the fire.

Dang~

The monster also finally arrived, hitting the door with a thud, but could not enter for the time being.

After staring closely at the door to make sure it would not be broken by the monster outside, Dominguez fell on the hospital bed, panting heavily, if in the university sports, with the escape speed just now, I think I can also mix a ranking, right?

The torch sizzled and finally went out, plunging the surroundings into darkness.

Dominguez looked into the darkness before him, and his heart lit up with the thumping and hissing in his ears.

This monster couldn’t have been hit by the black mist virus and that’s why it turned out that way, right?

The more I think about it, the more I think it’s possible, although there is no specific description of the virus-infected creatures in the Skeleton Treasure, ……

Wait ……

Dominguez suddenly slapped his head: Skeleton treasure code, primary skeleton soldier, why am I so stupid, I have a treasure in my hand, but I don’t know how to use it.

In fact, this can not blame Dominguez, people in a big shock or sudden mood changes, the physical indicators will rise, but the memory will suddenly decline, suddenly at that moment become forgetful.

Thinking about the power of the primary skeleton soldiers, Dominguez heart is always relieved.

The rattle at the door remains, and it seems that the thing is not going to leave easily.

The monster’s appearance reminds Dominguez of a movie he saw a few years ago, Resident Evil, and I just don’t know what’s out there that’s really as scary as that zombie.

What a time to be thinking about that.

Dominguez sat down in silence, and with a movement in his mind, a cloud of gray light emerged from his forehead and the Skeleton Treasure Code was released.

Holding the Skeleton Treasure in his hand, Dominguez concentrated his mental energy, moving his fingers and mouthing incantations.

The ancient and obscure incantation hooks the strange orbit and summons the primary skeleton soldiers.

Opening his eyes, Dominguez swept the scene around him into his eyes by the gray light of the Skeleton Treasure.

The junior skeleton soldier holds a white bone sword in his hand, and two green flames flicker in his hollow eye sockets.

Knock knock~

The rattling behind them became more and more violent, and the wooden doorway creaked.

Dominguez turned his head to look, only to see the middle of the door actually shattered open, it is expected to take a short time, the door room will be broken.

The sharpness of the white bone sword can cut through even walls. That zombie monster, no matter what, is also changed from human, flesh and blood, definitely can’t stop the attack of the primary skeleton soldier.

The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you want to do.

Dominguez is afraid of death, so he wants to live more, to live by any means possible.

Looking at the door of the room that was about to break, Dominguez’s heart moved and instead of moving the bed, he commanded the junior skeleton soldier to make a slit in the door of the room.

The white bone sword dug a head-sized hole in the door of the room with a few strokes, and the junior skeleton soldier stood behind the door with his sword raised, while Dominguez hid two meters behind the junior skeleton soldier holding the skeleton treasure.

A dried up hand reached in, five fingers on the long nails have two inches long, hand claws in the air hollowed out, seems to find the distance is not enough, and the whole arm into the broken movement.

That’s now. Dominguez barked out a command, Attack.

The junior skeleton soldier raised the white bone sword and cut down, without the slightest delay, the white bone sword slashed through, severing the entire arm of the zombie by the root.

But the zombie with a broken arm feels no pain, and even the voice is still the hiss of a broken throat belt.

Just stay a few seconds, the zombie moved again, this time reaching in is actually a head.

The rotting flesh is fast being scraped off by the door panel, revealing the ghastly white bones inside, making people feel even more disgusted.

Dominguez covered his nose, blocked the pounding stench and instructed the junior skeleton soldiers to attack.

And without words, the summoned skeleton soldier is like Dominguez’s body, and under its intention, the white chilly white bone sword is swung once again.

Poof.

The ugly head fell on the hospital bed, and there was a soft thud from the door.

What is this?

Dominguez moved away from the sickbay and wanted to get out of here before the primary skeleton disease summoning time ended. But with a glance in his eyes, he actually saw a light in the zombie’s head.

Pick out the shiny object, wipe off the flesh and blood on it, and find that it is something like a glass ball.

Dominguez was wondering what this was, when the skeleton treasure in his hand, which was used as a lighting tool, reacted.

The treasure code of gray light was so bright that a gray light, like a train, passed through Dominguez’s body and finally connected to the glass bead-like object in his hand.

Only to see the original white beads run out of a small black shadow, look closely, more like being pulled out by the gray pith, eventually flowing into Dominguez’s body, disappearing, and the gray light also returned to the skeleton treasure code.

It’s actually changing color. Dominguez fumbled with his body twice, finding that his energy had actually gotten a little better, and turned his attention to the beads in his hand.

The original white beads turned into an earthy yellow color, which was very pure.

Squeezing the beads, Dominguez looked and looked, and finally saw. It turns out that it is not the beads are earthy yellow, but a cloud of earthy yellow liquid flowing in the beads.

Chapter 5 Basement

What’s inside this? Staring at the earthy yellow liquid inside the glass-like casing, Dominguez was wondering.

Could it be a stone?

Dominguez couldn’t tell what was in his hand, so he simply didn’t think about it and put the earthy yellow beads in his pocket.

Opened the skeleton treasure code, Dominguez squinted his eyes and surveyed it, the change of the skeleton treasure code just now made its heart full of curiosity.

There must be changes.

Sure enough, after flipping through the first page, Dominguez noticed a slight change in the data that originally marked his indicators.

The level one labeled after mental power and magic now has five more tiny white skulls behind it, the leftmost of which is a bit darker, more like gray.

This was not available when Dominguez obtained the Skeleton Treasure.

Dominguez pondered for a while, and then combined with the back of the treasure dictionary skeleton mage account, finally is to sort out some eyebrows.

Just now, the black shadow in the bead entered his body, feeling very improved spirit, originally because the summoning of primary skeleton soldiers consumed spiritual energy, seems to have been slightly replenished.

That black shadow should be the soul of a zombie. Spiritual power is increased by absorbing souls.

And the changes in mental power and magic items confirm this.

That black shadow is the zombie essence, and the skeleton treasure code just now, thanks to Dominguez’s luck, happened to help it absorb the zombie essence.

If not for this coincidence, Dominguez might have had to wait until he reached spiritual power level 2 before he could absorb the essence soul. In the magic chapter of the magic aid chapter, there is a soul-absorbing magic that requires reaching spiritual power level 2 to learn.

Before not knowing that the Skeleton Treasure can also help suck the soul, there is a paradox, the art of sucking the soul requires a spiritual power level two to learn, but Dominguez but only one level of spiritual power, want to upgrade the spiritual power, you have to suck the soul, the question is how to suck the soul?

Now it is finally clear that it is through the Skeleton Treasure Code that the essence soul is sucked into oneself.

Dominguez, who had figured everything out, was in a good mood and more comfortable with his identity as a skeleton apprentice.

After all, the power of the primary skeleton soldiers is already seen.

A level one summon is so strong, how terrifying should a higher summon be than that.

At the same time, Dominguez heart also sounded an alarm, the virus in the black fog has been revealed, I am afraid that the whole city will fall into a desperate situation, want to live, there is only one way to make yourself strong, learn a higher level of summoning techniques.

Dodge is only a temporary residual, the skeleton treasure book said very clearly, the invasion of the cyborg is a stage, dodge the front part, can not hide the back.

Therefore, the only viable solution is to enhance the strength.

Moving away from the hospital bed, Dominguez tried to keep his voice as low as possible, holding the Skeleton Treasure, and ran in the direction of the basement.

There are less than three minutes left in the summoning time of the primary skeleton soldier, so we have to hurry to enter the medicine vault in the basement, in case there are still zombies inside, we can also resist.

The junior skeleton soldier was in front, Dominguez followed a meter behind it, following the steps of the basement and slowly going down.

The air inside was unpleasant, a smell of rotting skin and flesh, and there was a heavy smell of blood.

Sizzle ~ sizzle ~

A few unpleasant noises reached the ears.

There are walkers. The strong smell of vermin, combined with the sound of a broken throat belt, Dominguez knew that there were walkers in the basement.

And listening to its movement, there is more than one.

Stopping on the stairs, Dominguez looked around with both eyes.

But the gray light of the skeleton treasure code, but also only shine out around three meters range situation, the basement has dozens of square, and can not completely shine.

The junior skeleton soldiers stood at the bottom of the stairs, blocking the way up. Dominguez took a few steps back and waited quietly for the zombies to take the initiative.

These people infected by the virus, after becoming zombies, can actually be said to have become dead, only, there is still the ability to move.

The zombie seems to have a deep desire for flesh and blood, and its lack of pain, coupled with its mutated fingers, is very difficult to deal with.

Of course, what Dominguez has in mind now is to make the zombies appear quickly, the primary skeleton soldier summoning time is still only two minutes and ten seconds.

A few hisses came from the dark basement, and three decomposing figures burst out of the darkness and lunged at Dominguez on the stairs.

But Dominguez, who had been waiting for them to come out, was in high spirits, fearing that you were hiding and not coming out, and since they wanted to eat themselves, it was not so easy.

The junior skeleton soldier raised the white bone sword in his hand and swung it out at the first zombie, but the zombie didn’t seem to see the white bone sword and didn’t even dodge.

With a crash, the sharp white bone sword cut this female zombie off at the waist, and the upper half of the zombie’s body flew straight out and crashed into the stairs.

Dominguez looked at the half of the body that hit the ground, his stomach was sour and he almost vomited. As the waist was cut open, all the organs in the stomach of the zombie were spilled out.

With bloody intestines, a vile face, and a still open mouth with thick saliva coming out of it.

Although the female zombie was split in two, she did not die and actually relied on her hands to crawl towards the junior skeleton soldiers at the bottom of the stairs.

Disheveled hair, underneath is a hideous and horrible face.

The female zombie bit into the white bone leg of the junior skeleton soldier, when the second zombie also rushed over.

Dominguez ordered the junior skeleton soldiers not to attack the second big fat walker and to ignore the female walker at his feet.

This big fat zombie, wearing a see white lab coat, is different from the previously killed zombie and the female zombie who is holding the skeleton soldier’s leg and gnawing on it, he must be a doctor in front of him.

And the female walker and the walker that was killed earlier are patients, most likely in this inpatient unit.

White bone sword into the body, cut into the body of the fat zombie, but not a cut, white bone to stuck in it.

Holy shit, what’s the point of growing so much meat for nothing? Dominguez cursed as his eyes glanced at the third zombie, which had already arrived near the stairs.

It was a lame walker with a twisted left knee that turned inward and walked with a limp, so it only now reached near the stairs.

But its walking is not easy, and Dominguez believes that the claws and teeth of the crippled zombie will not be slowed down a bit if it is caught.

The primary skeleton soldier was dragged by the half-dead female and the fat zombie, who held the primary skeleton soldier’s head with both hands, while his mouth couldn’t stop biting at the skeleton head.

Although give the skeleton soldier a little time, can certainly solve the two half-crippled zombies, but the key is its don’t stall, can’t move, the fat zombie’s entire weight is pressed on the skeleton soldier, one meter two to high skeleton soldier in Dominguez constantly urging, but also just move a small step, and almost fell.

It’s just up to you. Dominguez exhaled, biting the treasury into his mouth and taking off his coat.

The crippled walker limped and moved up the stairs one step at a time.

The moment of crisis, Dominguez heart thought not to escape, actually is to let go of the fight, it must be said, the arrival of the skeleton treasure code, also has a certain impact on its character.

Get me down. Dominguez quickly took off his coat and threw it on the crippled walker in front of him.

While its mouth and claws were blocked, Dominguez flew up and kicked its body hard.

Bang.

The crippled walker’s head covered with a coat, flew straight down and smashed into the warring skeleton soldiers and walkers.

Poof.

The crippled zombie’s impact just helped, as the junior skeleton soldier’s white bone sword lent a hand and finally sliced open the fat belly of the fat zombie.

What happened next was much easier, as the junior skeleton soldiers quickly took care of two zombies that were only half-dead, as well as a crippled zombie that struggled for half a day and couldn’t stand up.

Looking at the tattered corpses on the ground, Dominguez resisted the urge to vomit and commanded the skeleton soldiers to begin dismantling the three zombie heads.

Sure enough, when the white bone sword broke open the first zombie’s head, Dominguez saw a light in the fat zombie’s head, it was the zombie beads.

Without rushing to pull it out, Dominguez ordered the skeleton soldiers to split the remaining two zombie heads, again, with a light inside each one.

At this time, the primary skeleton soldiers, however, slowly dissipated, and finally turned into white smoke and disappeared into the air.

It’s time for the call.

If only the summoned skeleton soldiers didn’t have a time limit. Dominguez took matters into his own hands and picked up the three funeral beads from the shattered head: After absorbing these three essence souls, there is only one more to go.

Thinking of this, Dominguez got excited again, holding the Skeleton Treasure in one hand and squeezing the funeral beads in the other, and began to absorb the essence inside.

In the zombie consciousness, all that remains is brutality, so the soul is very pure.

Gray light past, Dominguez spirit clearly has a boost, the skeleton treasure code of spiritual power and magic behind the five skulls, four of them for gray, as long as the last white skull becomes gray, the level of spiritual power will be advanced.

The three funeral beads in his hand changed from white to earthy yellow, cyan and red.

With a sense of accomplishment in his heart, Dominguez put away the three essence-extracting funeral beads and headed for the nearby medicine rack.

Dominguez took a few boxes of highly effective anti-inflammatory drugs and brought a few plates of senkang, Dominguez planned to leave.

But at that moment, a weak voice came from the corner: Is anyone out there?

The sudden sound startled Dominguez, and the bottle of glucose solution in his hand fell to the floor with a snap.

Chapter 6 Infection

The sudden sound was abrupt, especially with Dominguez’s atrium relaxed.

The bottle of glucose pills in his hand shattered on the ground and seemed to startle the person making the noise in the corner.

We are people, not that monster. Finally the key phrase was spoken.

Dominguez also calmed down and thought to himself, it seems that the zombies do not speak, the four zombies he encountered, can only make a sibilant broken voice.

What are you people? Dominguez moved carefully towards the corner, looking a little cautious.

The gray light of the skeleton treasury shines out, and behind a medicine rack there is a small iron door.

Through the small window on the iron door, several figures could be seen shivering inside.

It’s people, we’re saved. An excited female voice came out, the voice was a little hoarse, and it looked like it had suffered a lot of excitement earlier.

The iron door clanged and was opened by someone inside, and Dominguez finally got a good look at the scene inside.

The space behind the small iron door is not large, only four square meters, but is full of miscellaneous items, three people standing on the miscellaneous items, the application still can not conceal the panic.

Those monsters out there are dead? The one who asked was the only male of the three, dressed in a western suit, in his thirties.

Dominguez glanced at the man in front of him and felt rather unhappy. Damn, by the look of it, it was forced by the zombies to hide in this small secret room, but its hair was still shiny and its suit was still straight, although it was a bit creased and stained.

You can go see for yourself. Dominguez was actually jealous to the core, or one could say that it was obvious hatred of the rich, and the words that came out were choking.

The look of the man in the suit at a glance to know is the kind of successful people, age of about thirty, look very handsome typical of the young and gold.

The key is that behind the man in the suit also stands a woman in red, a height of one meter seven, exquisite face, shoulder-length hair, red trench coat is white turtleneck shirt, wrapped in a straight round bulging bosom, white face is a high nose, and two big eyes flooded with water, a small mouth slightly pursed, there is a flavour.

Dominguez has long seen the beautiful woman hiding behind the man in the suit and could not help but light up in front of his eyes, his nostrils were hot and he almost could not hold it.

The usual sullen psychology, at this time is finally played a role, the man in the suit opened the question, Dominguez took the opportunity to divert attention.

If you don’t divert your attention, Dominguez is really worried that he will make a fool of himself.

The psychological hidden hatred of the rich, coupled with the man in the suit as a prince guarding the beautiful woman in red, Dominguez heart is certainly not happy.

The man in the suit visibly froze, his expression stiffened somewhat, and a hint of irritation flashed in his eyes, but immediately hid it.

Little brother said so, it seems that the monsters outside have been eliminated. Just now inside I heard the sound of fighting outside, and since Dominguez is now standing here, those monsters blocking his three must have been killed its.

The man in the suit took a look at the skeleton treasure in Dominguez’s hand, a trace of surprise appeared on his face, but seeing Dominguez’s aware look, he immediately turned his eyes away again.

Are you alone? The woman in red stood out from behind the man in the suit, though its legs seemed inconvenient and a bit lame.

Dominguez face flashed a look of pity, such a beautiful girl, but actually a cripple, too hurt.

With the Skull and Bones in his hand, Dominguez gestured for a few people to come out before answering the lame beauty’s question, I’m alone, or who else do you think is coming?

You killed all those monsters outside by yourself? The young woman dressed as a nurse covered her arm, where the white nurse’s uniform broke open a few slits, near a crimson, and blood continued to flow.

Obviously, Dominguez’s answer stunned all three, this skinny guy would be a match for those monsters?

Dominguez took in the three people’s expressions and was upset, just a few zombies? There is a need to be so surprised? It seems like I cheated people.

Especially seeing the limp beauty’s mouth wide open, small hands covering the look, Dominguez heart is more feel their character was insulted as hard.

Crippled little pepper, is it necessary to be so surprised? A red cloak, and then the walking difficulty, crippled little pepper this name fits well.

But after Dominguez called it, he knew trouble was coming.

Lu Xuejing from the provincial capital down after Jiangnan City, has been bad luck constantly. First, the city of Jiangnan was inexplicably shrouded in black fog, and then after that is their right foot is not quite sprained.

Originally concealed from his father to escape from the play, but a series of things to make their own playfulness lost, the most terrible or their own hospitalization Liao injury, but happened to see the mutation, those hospitalized together actually turned into monsters, so that people are frightened.

In their own desperate situation, is regretting that they should not run private not to come, finally is to come to the people, will those monsters to drive away to kill.

The sky has no limits, ah, after these changes, Lu Xuejing also understand something, is secretly determined, in the future must listen to the old man’s words, will own stubborn temper change.

But who would have thought that this skinny and lewd guy in front of him (mainly because just now Dominguez stared at his chest and looked hard, and was discovered by Lu Xuejing), actually called himself a cripple and called himself a small pepper.

It is tolerable, but not tolerable.

Who are you calling a cripple? Where is this girl lame? Lu Xuejing’s face was full of frost, her eyes seemed to spit out fire, this lewd guy, really owed a beating.

Dominguez is a little unbelievable, people say that women turn over their faces faster than a book, and this is true.

Look at yourself, you’re walking with a wobble, if you’re not a cripple, is that your man step?

Of course, this sentence Dominguez is not afraid to say out, a glance in the eyes, Dominguez saw the man in the suit next to the eyes of the laugh, obviously the crippled little pepper’s fiery temper deep understanding.

Dominguez does not want to get involved at this time, very wise choice of silence, can not afford to mess with, I do not speak can always be, right?

Sure enough, Lu Xuejing’s voice from the rocket took off rumbling intensity, slowly become a bee buzzing degree, and finally saw Dominguez still not in a hurry, not anxious look, simply even muttering also gave
