I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

"Shh!"

With a light sound of breaking through the air, Qin Zhong's figure appeared next to the skinny man almost instantly.

The next moment, Qin Zhong's right arm had condensed into an arc-shaped scimitar without anyone noticing, and the scimitar's sharp blade was pressed tightly against the man's neck.

"You...what do you want to do?"

Feeling the slight chill on his neck, the skinny man shuddered all over and stammered, "I...I, I'm not a zombie."

"really?"

Seeing his expression, which was no different from that of an ordinary person, Qin Zhong frowned slightly and said, "Who are his teammates? Come out and speak."

"We, we are..."

Hearing Qin Zhong's words, the four men holding weapons beside the skinny man looked at each other and walked over hesitantly.

"Have you ever been separated from him?"

Glancing at the four approaching men, Qin Zhong frowned and asked, "Even just for a moment?"

"Uh, yes, for a while."

Among the four, a stronger man thought for a moment and said, "We searched separately when we were searching a small courtyard, but the time was very short, no more than three minutes, and there were no strange sounds. Big brother, are you seeing things? He looks the same as before!"

Although these soldiers did not know Qin Zhong's identity, they knew from the respectful attitude of Pan Hongwei, Vulture, Lao Niu and others that this man must be someone not to be trifled with.

Therefore, this strong man did not dare to hide anything and told everything he knew.

"Three minutes is enough to do a lot."

Qin Zhong shook his head and said, "If you give me three minutes, I can kill all of you. What's more, it's a mutant zombie, and it's a one-on-one fight with ordinary people like you."

"I... I'm not a zombie! Brother Niu, Brother Vulture, please save me... I'm a bearded man."

Hearing Qin Zhong's words, the skinny man named Hu Zi trembled even more violently, and an expression of despair and helplessness appeared on his sallow face.

"Brother Qin, did you admit your mistake?"

Hearing Beard's repeated pleas, Vulture couldn't help but frown and asked cautiously, "Maybe... the zombies haven't gotten in yet?"

"Haha, if you were that zombie, would you let go of such a good opportunity?"

Glancing at the vulture that was pleading for Hu Zi, Qin Zhong shook his head, then stared at Hu Zi with a faint smile, "Alright, Mr. Zombie, stop pretending in front of me. Even if your expression and demeanor are exactly the same as this host's, don't forget that a human heartbeat fluctuates with their mood..."

At this point, Qin Zhong tapped Hu Zi's heartbeat with his finger and said with a smile, "But your heartbeat is so steady right now, as if you just woke up. Is this normal?"

It turned out that after Qin Chong evolved to level four, with his hearing, although he could not hear the sounds of birds, beasts and insects within a hundred miles, he could hear the heartbeats of people within dozens of meters clearly.

"Roar!" Upon hearing Qin Zhong's words, Hu Zi's face suddenly changed. He roared wildly and retreated suddenly, trying to get rid of Qin Zhong's scimitar that was pressed against his neck.

During this process, a crack began to appear on Hu Zi's face. In the crack, countless tiny tentacles like octopus tentacles began to slowly spread outward.

Sure enough, this unremarkable-looking man was actually transformed from a zombie.

……

"Want to run?"

Looking at the changing zombie, Qin Zhong laughed, and the scimitar that was originally stuck to its neck suddenly extended a lot, still controlling the zombie inside, and slashed it down with one move.

"Pfft!"

With a slight tearing sound, the crack on the mutant zombie's face suddenly deepened, and then it was cut into two pieces by Qin Zhong with a scimitar.

"Come on!"

The broken body fell to the ground after being broken into two pieces. With the soft sound of the flesh falling to the ground, the hands and feet of the body trembled slightly, then let go softly and remained motionless.

"Ah! Great! I finally got rid of it."

"Long live the Lord, you can sleep well tonight."

“Great, great!”

"..."

Seeing the zombies being killed, almost everyone cheered wildly. They had suffered a lot from the fear and worry during this period, and now they could finally relax.

"Don't be too happy too soon, the matter is not over yet."

Unlike the others who were excited and relaxed, Qin Zhong had a solemn expression on his face. He squatted beside the corpse, fiddled with it for a while, and then told everyone a heavy news.

"What? Isn't this monster dead?"

After hearing Qin Zhong's words, the cheers stopped immediately and the whole audience fell into silence. After an unknown amount of time, someone finally came to their senses and asked weakly.

"No, the monster is probably not dead."

Looking at the broken zombie, Qin Zhong said with a sullen face, "If this is really a mutated zombie, it will definitely resist when I kill it. But the strange thing is, I don't feel any evolutionary energy from this zombie."

At this point, Qin Zhong looked at everyone and explained, "So, there are only two possibilities: one, it doesn't have the energy to evolve; two, it's not dead, and this beard is just a substitute!"

"Brother Qin, do you think it just doesn't have the energy to evolve? After all, you just killed it!" Pan Hongwei scratched his head and put forward his opinion.

"That's unlikely! After all, it's possible for it to evolve to this point. How could it evolve without evolutionary energy?"

Qin Zhong shook his head seriously in denial of what Pan Hongwei said, and said in a serious tone, "I doubt this zombie is dead."

"This... can't be!" Looking at the corpse on the ground, Vulture said doubtfully: "This zombie is obviously dead."

"So, that's what I'm worried about."

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Qin Zhong said in a heavy voice, "I suspect that this zombie in front of me is not the real zombie, but just a part of it, similar to a clone. That's why it has no energy to evolve. If that's the case, then our troubles may have just begun."

"Clone? Body?"

After hearing Qin Zhong's words, Pan Hongwei and others were completely confused. Zombies are just zombies, so how can there be clones or original bodies?

"Of course, this is just my guess, but I think my guess is very likely to be the truth!"

Qin Zhong took a deep breath and explained, "So, I think the zombie I killed was just a part of another zombie. And that zombie, somehow, evolved to the point where it could split into clones and use them to mimic humans, thus sneaking into your team!"

For a moment, everyone present was confused. Why did it feel like they were reading a fantasy novel?

This is too fantasy!
