HBWnovel Chapter 6 Buttocks
Chapter 6 Buttocks
Xu Yang tapped his fingers lightly on the windowsill.
The situation is now quite clear: the monster has been lured away, and my mission still needs to be completed.
Weapons, armor, and water purification tablets.
The first two did not specify any particular items, but Xu Yang believed that even a stick or a helmet would meet the requirements.
Therefore, the key is the water purification tablets.
Where can I find this thing?
Before he set off, a friend who liked outdoor camping told him that outdoor equipment stores seemed to sell them.
But are there any outdoor equipment stores in this town?
Xu Yang had little hope, but after thinking it over, it seemed that he could only try his luck at a pharmacy or clinic.
He went downstairs and stood by the window to check the situation outside.
Nearby, only a few monsters roamed the streets; most had headed towards the firelight from before.
We haven't noticed anything that's paying attention to this area yet.
Xu Yang crouched down and quietly left through the back door of the house. He walked along the wall to the back of the vegetation and buildings, cautiously exploring forward. He encountered no danger along the way and found a pharmacy called Hui something ahead.
It just doesn't look safe.
The area outside the pharmacy was a mess. Bloodstains were scattered under several large trees nearby, and the trail of blood led directly to the pharmacy window. The window itself had been broken open by some kind of brute force, with blood hanging from the edges of the glass shards.
It looked like something had been injured near a big tree and then climbed out of the window into the pharmacy to hide, but strangely, the pharmacy door wasn't locked at all.
Why not use the door?
Xu Yang frowned, a sense of foreboding creeping over him.
But since we're here, we should at least take a look, or rather, stand outside the door and scan it with the compass. Even if there is something inside, judging from the bloodstains on the ground, the injury must be quite serious.
Let's use a flamethrower to check its quality.
Even the thorny parasites from before have enough cover outside, so you can just run away. But if it's a mindless zombie, there's even less to worry about.
With that thought in mind, Xu Yang gently pushed open the door.
Clang!
A soft sound suddenly came from the doorway. Xu Yang jumped back and looked at the source of the sound with surprise and uncertainty.
Holy Sword?
A crowbar rolled out of the pharmacy doorway, apparently knocked off when the door was opened.
But how did this thing end up here?
Moreover, the head of the crowbar was still damp, covered in dark brown stains that looked like they had been applied recently.
Xu Yang took another half step back.
Looking through the half-open door, information about various items comes into view.
There were no monsters, but there were also no water purification pills.
The area concealed by the medicine shelves in the room was not large enough to hide a creature, so Xu Yang took a crowbar and went inside.
Inside the pharmacy, shelves were overturned everywhere, and various packages of medicines were scattered on the floor, along with a conspicuous mark.
Or rather, it was bloodstains.
The bloodstains came from the window, just like they had outside. They continued to grow after we entered the room, until they reached the depths of the shelf—a dark mass lying in the shadows.
"..."
Xu Yang received both good news and bad news:
Good news, we've found them.
Bad news, it seems the person is somewhat dead.
[Human (incomplete)]
[A severely mutilated, fresh corpse. There was a huge gash in his neck, his lower body was completely gone, and his bright red internal organs were exposed to the air, showing signs of being eaten.]
[Note: Bro, my butt... my butt hurts...]
Xu Yang seemed to wake from a dream, turning his head to look outside. His gaze passed through the broken window and fell upon the bloodstains that had previously appeared out of nowhere.
My gaze moved upwards, and there was half a corpse hanging in the tree.
My butt's still there, it doesn't hurt anymore...
Xu Yang took a deep breath and felt a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead, which he wiped away.
Ok?
A fishy smell?
He smelled his sweaty hands, then looked up blankly. There was half a bloody intestine hanging in his mouth.
A shadow hangs upside down on the ceiling.
Tick.
Blood mixed with saliva dripped onto his face again.
Xu Yang held his breath.
In an instant, their eyes met.
next moment,
His body moved faster than his thoughts; his arm muscles twitched, and everything before him seemed to slow down.
In my line of sight, a horrifying figure spread out the fleshy membrane between its arms.
come down.
A gust of wind carrying a fishy smell blew downwards.
In Xu Yang's eyes,
The ceiling grew increasingly blurry, while the ugly face drew ever closer, the stench of the orangutan seemingly within reach, and two rows of sharp teeth slowly opened in its mouth.
Bang!
Amidst the intense tremors, Xu Yang regained his senses. The crowbar in his hand was trembling slightly, and the pain in his tiger's mouth was real.
The monster convulsed on the ground, a fatal dent appearing on its forehead. Most of its foul-smelling brain matter spilled onto the ground.
A small amount splashed on his face.
It smells terrible.
Xu Yang gasped for breath, realizing he had... blown its head off!?
Bat-winged Zombies
Its arms were stretched beyond human limits, its skin was stretched into a horrifying membrane, and its feet were covered with curved bone spurs. Compared to other zombies, its movements were more clumsy, but it could occasionally leap an astonishing distance.
[Note: Take flight!]
Xu Yang poked the bat-winged zombie with a crowbar. At this point, it showed no further reaction, and the convulsions stopped.
Dead beyond dead.
Xu Yang subconsciously wiped his face, removing the sticky, wet brain matter. His heartbeat gradually calmed down, and his emotions recovered from the previous fear.
Follow the trail of blood to the depths of the shelf.
Ahead lay the remaining half of the corpse. He stood there, his brows furrowing. What immense power it took to split a grown man in two!
Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War?
Xu Yang fell into deep thought, still thinking about the zombie whose head he had just blown off.
……
That's absolutely impossible.
If that bat-winged zombie really had that kind of power, he should be the one lying on the ground right now. A guy who got his head blown off by a crowbar couldn't possibly have that kind of strength.
Xu Yang gently turned the body over.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and noticed several deep scratch marks on the torso, revealing bone, and the same marks were found where the body had been severed.
It seems the other person wasn't simply torn apart, but rather their flesh was slashed open and their spine was broken.
It sounds much more reasonable than tearing it apart by hand, at least.
But regardless, having witnessed a funeral that was divided into two parts, Xu Yang gained a more direct understanding of the dangers of this world.
He shook his head slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then began to search the corpse. The dead are gone, but the living must continue to live.
Ok?
He pulled a small bag from a blood-stained pocket, which contained a mix of items.
"guide."
Painkillers, keys, water purification tablets...
Xu Yang sighed and closed the Corpse Brother's eyes.
He weighed the pills in his hand, but seemed somewhat disheartened.
Water purification tablets
[A chemical tablet with powerful bactericidal and purifying capabilities, effectively removing various hazardous pollutants from water.]
[Note: What, you want the foot bath water too?]
It is indeed a quest item, but there are only seven, while the quest requires twenty, leaving a difference of thirteen.
We need to look for more.
Although there are hardly any zombies roaming the streets now, who knows if there are other "surprises" hidden among the buildings lining both sides?
Just like the bat-winged zombie just now, if instinct hadn't taken over its body at that moment, it might have become a pair of star-crossed lovers with the zombie brother.
It's laughable that he previously thought houses were safer than streets, but now it seems—
Damn, they're all pretty much the same!
You'll be ganged up on in the street, and you'll be ambushed in your room.
Xu Yang felt depressed.
He quietly packed his things away, picked up the crowbar, and continued on his way.
The streets were deserted, except for green plants and various rusted vehicles and facilities. There were no monsters wandering around, and the shops on both sides were also very quiet.
Generally speaking, there are clinics or other pharmacies next to pharmacies. Since pharmacies are already open, it doesn't make a difference to have a clinic as well.
He hadn't gone far when he indeed saw a sign hanging on the shop ahead—
Huimin Clinic.
It's even the same product sold in pharmacies...
