human journey

Chapter 272 New Tom

Tom struggled to push open the door blocked by the concrete fragments, looked inside, and saw some fragments of Jack's body.In autumn and winter, the temperature in N City is not high, these corpses have not decomposed much, and at this floor height, they have not attracted scavengers.

Tom took out a thick plastic bag from his backpack, which he used to collect when he was ready to find Jack's stump, put on gloves, and Tom picked it up piece by piece.

And turned around to see if there were any parts that belonged to Jack. When the incomplete curtain was lifted, the thing in front of him made Tom scream out in fright. It was Jack's head.

The top of the head is sunken, and the eyes are wide open and protruding, as if they are about to fall.The mouth was open and the jaw drooped, as if expressing his unwillingness.

Enduring the fear, John stepped forward and carefully put Jack's head into the bag, muttering.

"Jack, I'm sorry for you. It's my voice that summoned the muscular zombies. If I had been braver, you wouldn't have died, woo woo woo woo...I'll help take care of your family, you Do not worry!"

After doing this, Tom's self-blaming heart felt better. Although Jack's soul is long gone, he can't hear these words, but human beings live in their own world, and they are the most self-consoling.

Later, after Tom collected some commemorative items, he left this place full of laughter and despair.

Walking out of the apartment, Tom came to the deserted, very clean street, filled with the smell of disinfectant.Originally, this street was full of traffic no matter it was day or night, and Tom and Jack often complained about being too noisy. Now Tom felt that it was too quiet again, full of the atmosphere of doomsday.

A gust of wind blew by, making Tom, who was not afraid of the cold, feel a chill all over his body. He shivered, shrank his neck, and accelerated his pace.

At this time, he heard the voice of an old man from the alley ahead.

"Who is here, can you come and help me, my leg is sprained."

Tom was startled when he heard the voice, and then he was relieved. The talking person was definitely not a zombie. He probably went back to N City to pick up things like him, so he walked to the alley in front.

What came into view was an old man with white hair, wearing ordinary clothes, squatting on the ground, clutching his ankle, with a painful expression on his face. Tom didn't doubt that he had it, so he wanted to ask.

When he came to the old man, the old man suddenly turned his face away, the pained expression disappeared, and instead he showed a weird smile to Tom.

Tom didn't realize anything was wrong yet. He just felt that the old man's face looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.But before he could think about it, the old man suddenly opened his mouth, and his tongue shot out fiercely, thrusting into his mouth so fast that Tom, an ordinary person, couldn't react at all.

The tongue that entered Tom's mouth was divided into countless thin tubes in an instant, rushing into his brain from the roof of his mouth, immediately devouring his soul and absorbing his brain tissue.

Then the old man withdrew his tongue and closed his eyes. It was reading the memory in Tom's brain tissue.After a long time, the old man opened his eyes, and his body changed. In the blink of an eye, he became Tom's appearance. Every detail was exactly the same. Plus Tom's memory, even Tom's own mother couldn't tell the difference. .

It looked at the dead body of Tom in front of it and showed a satisfied smile. This person had a good identity. There was no one alive who knew him very well in N City. His home was in another place, so he could go to the distant city openly.

The new Tom took off the old Tom's clothes and put them on, and stuck out his tongue again, secreting corrosive liquid and melting his body into a pool of blood.

After that, he picked up his bag, took Jack's body, and walked out of the city.The alley where it was just now was blocked by something above, and the satellite could not capture it. The electricity in N City was cut off again, and the surveillance cameras were useless, so no one knew about New Tom's operation.

The old man it changed was a certain university professor who devoured the brain to read the memory before. One of his students was Tom, but Tom often escaped. He either played mobile games or slept in class, so he didn’t remember the appearance of the professor. .

The professor himself has only met Tom a few times and doesn't remember him very much, but after the new Tom reads his memory, he can find these things in the corner of the ocean of memory.

This monster with abilities similar to Lin Wei was transformed by the Destroyer of Wisdom. After seeing the power of the Punisher, metal electromagnetic missiles, and microwave bombs, it felt that its huge body was under the superweapon created by humans for them. In front of him, it is a burden instead.

The Punisher only attacks the Destroyer, not other things, which means it can recognize what a Destroyer is, and the intelligent Destroyer can avoid the attack of the Punisher by turning into a human.

The electromagnetic field released by the metal bomb has been felt from a distance, and it can overload the current in the body. The more current stored, the more dangerous it is.After becoming the size of a human, the power storage capacity dropped drastically. Even if it suffered from this bomb, the explosion of the power storage organs would not be enough to kill it.

Microwave weapons do a lot of damage to their destroyers, but they are easier to defend against. When transforming into a human form, just fill the skin with a lot of metal elements.

With its full understanding of human culture and knowledge, it knows that human beings will continue to update their weapons, making it impossible for the Destroyer to guard against.

It doesn't want to hide underground all the time. After all, the space underground is limited, and it doesn't move very fast in the soil. If humans find some way to locate its position underground, wouldn't it be dangerous?

So it decided to change its form again, disguise itself as a human being, and blend into human society. Wouldn't it be easy to spread the zombie virus? As long as no one can find it, destroying the human world is a breeze.

After changing its form, it has been lurking in N city for the past two days, waiting for suitable simulated human beings, but they are all soldiers from country M, so it is not easy to start with.

Today, when Tom appeared alone, he immediately caught his attention.It immediately thought of transforming into a professor to gain his trust and trick him into hiding.

After Tom experienced his friend being killed by his cowardice, he tried hard to be brave. When he heard the old man's voice, with his original courage, he didn't dare to get close. Anyway, he didn't recognize that he was fucked by him. The professor of the class, if you leave quickly, nothing will happen. Monsters dare not attack him where they can be seen by satellites.

But Tom told himself to be brave, and his friend's body was still on his back, so he went to help, but he didn't expect it to disappear.Bravery without sufficient capacity is nothing but recklessness.

The Destroyer knows that no matter how much he simulates, he still has many differences compared to humans. For example, the electric energy in his body is still very strong, and he will also be affected by strong electromagnetic fields.Moreover, there is a repulsive force field to protect the body. Those awakened who use the mind ability will know that there is a problem when they try it, and they have to activate the repulsive force field. Isn't that courting death?

The most deadly problem is that its soul is different from that of human beings. It knows that there must be awakened humans who can feel the same kind of souls among human beings. The repulsive force field can also be explained by special abilities, but this soul difference is iron-like evidence.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, it should stay away from the awakened human beings and mix with ordinary people.It can feel the powerful soul power of the awakened from a distance, which is the ability of the Soul Eater.

Back at the camp outside the city, Tom first cremated Jack's body in front of everyone, collected the ashes, and said that he would send it back to Jack's home and perform a full set of plays, which won everyone's approval.

Then I applied to the staff that it wanted to go home, and soon got an arrangement. It will leave tomorrow with other survivors to a nearby city where the traffic is not affected.

During this period, John and Charlie also visited it and saw him off.The arrival of the two awakened beings startled it. Fortunately, these two people were only physical awakenings and did not have the ability to feel the soul. It was conceited and did not reveal any flaws to arouse suspicion.

It didn't even intend to kill, it was about to leave, and it couldn't make any troubles. Those powerful people from country Z haven't left country M yet, so it's better to be careful.

The next day, Tom and other survivors left in a bus found from N City, and soon arrived at the nearest big city.This is also the city where the muscular zombies tried to enter before, but they were killed shortly after they came out of the ground, and they didn't infect a few humans, so they didn't affect the city.

After getting off the passenger car at the airport, Tom looked at the large number of human beings coming and going around, and he was in a good mood. He had a feeling that the sky was flying like a bird from now on, and the human world would be driven to dust and annihilation behind the scenes!
It has been thinking about how to use the zombie virus to overthrow human civilization in one fell swoop after simulating human beings during the past few days of hiding in N City.

After thinking about it, it felt that with the characteristics of the current zombie virus, it might be difficult to infect most humans in a short period of time.Moreover, humans have already experienced zombie viruses, and they will definitely go all out to prevent the spread, and may even develop a vaccine so that humans will no longer be infected.

Therefore, it is imperative to re-modify the zombie virus to make it more contagious. This will take time and a lot of experiments.

It will not be in a hurry now. After the failure of this attempt, let it understand that adequate preparation is very necessary to complete the final goal.

Tom successfully got on the plane home. He absorbed the memories of many people and knew everything about the human world.

Tom, who was sitting on the window seat, felt his surroundings and found no awakened person. He closed his eyes and prepared to think about how to transform the zombie virus.
