the last gentleman

Chapter 6 Beheading
[rhythm change]

The roots turn into feet,

The living corpse crawled like a spider, without any time to think or hesitate,

however,
Facing all this, Yi Chen has unprecedented firmness... He has already bet everything on this battle beyond common sense.

"I never expected to get through the crisis easily from the beginning.

I was supposed to die directly in the laboratory, but now I accidentally obtained the "qualification" for time-travel rebirth... If you want to truly grasp such a qualification, you must pay a huge price. "

make fists with both hands,

lift your legs up,

Forcibly break free from the roots that run through the soles of the feet.

Even the barbed hooks between the roots have already penetrated deeply into the flesh and blood.

Yi Chen could clearly feel that the flesh and blood between the soles of his feet was being removed... This kind of piercing pain made most people unable to continue exerting force, and even fainted on the spot.

"Pull it out for me!!"

There was a roar from the deepest part of his throat.

Swish!
Breaking free from the shackles, dark red blood splashed all over the ground.

On the surface of the soles of the free feet, finger-sized holes can be clearly seen, and there are still a lot of minced meat and petals inside.

Yi Chen didn't let out any screams during the whole process, and even his panting was restrained.

What follows is the critical moment of life and death.

The living corpse is in sight,

The real threat is not only the mycelium spit out of the mouth,
The roots growing on the back of the living corpse are also fully opened, aiming at Yi Chen's arms, waist and legs,

Trying to penetrate and hang in the air for easy eating.

this moment.

Perhaps it was the stimulation brought about by the severe pain, which further intensified the secretion of adrenaline,

Perhaps in the face of the crisis that is close at hand, the potential is fully stimulated.

"I have to find the loophole!"

【Focus on vision】

The picture of the living corpse received visually is like being frozen,
Turn it into a static ultra-high-definition picture for detailed analysis in the brain.

Jump back and dodge, no!
Rolling sideways, no!
One-way breakthrough, no!
The simulated actions that tried to break the predicament were rejected one by one,

until an optimal response mode is found.

The whole process of thinking and analysis takes almost no time.

exhale...take a deep breath
Facing the living corpses within close proximity,
Yi Chen did not choose to dodge or distance himself, nor did he make any defensive postures.

Instead, make a puzzling and dangerous act.

[step forward]

Get 'face-to-face' with the living corpse ahead of time with a super-fast forward stride.

however,
It was this kind of sudden approach that disrupted the rhythm of the simple-minded living corpse,

The roots that came from the left and right piercings all fell through the air, at most they just scratched the arm.

but,

Although avoiding the puncture of the roots, there is still a danger,
The mycelium that grows in the zombie's mouth is about to veneer.

at this time,

Yi Chen has changed to holding an ax with both hands,
With one hand on the bottom of the handle of the axe,
With one hand held close to the axe,

This can greatly increase the power of slashing and shorten the attack distance...suitable for close combat.

Due to the stimulation of adrenaline, the terrible blue veins burst out in both arms,

The forward right foot makes the body slightly forward,

center of gravity sinks,

The body is arched,
Raise your arms up, lift the ax and press down!
The silver blade draws a perfect arc in the air,

In front of mycelium stickers,
Vertically and precisely, it landed on the top of the living corpse's head.

The rotten and torn corpse's skull could not bear such a blow at all.

click!
The skull was completely severed,

And cut open the blue brain that merged with the moss,

Then break open the lower jaw and reach the neck~ all in one go!
The whole head was split open by this axe,

At the same time, due to the effect of silver, black smoke billowed from the wound... The moss-shaped brain completely dissolved, turning into drops of green liquid, flowing to the ground.

This also means that the newly formed "simple consciousness" of the living corpse is completely wiped out, and it degenerates into a low-level creature without thinking ability.

at this time,

click~
The meatball rooted on the shoulder sensed the danger and turned around suddenly.

Share the situation behind you with Yi Chen through a small visual window.

Those roots that failed to hit before are stabbing in the opposite direction,

"Get out of the way!"

Meat ball reminder,

Yi Chen quickly made a coherent movement of bending over to avoid and roll sideways... Shua!

There seems to be a poke in the body during the roll.

When the tumbling is over and standing up,
The entire left arm hangs limply, unable to lift it at all, only the fingers can move slightly.

Take a closer look,
The left upper arm has been pierced through a hole the size of a coin, and even moss remains in it, infecting the wound.

tick tock~
The blood slid down the arm and mixed with the blood spilled from the soles of the feet, and the ground was stained red in a large area.

The pain and the effects of blood loss come in waves

But if there is any slack, the consciousness will completely collapse.

"No... I can't die!"

Yi Chen shook his head vigorously, forcing himself to stay awake.

Hiss!There was a strange sound.

five meters away,
Between the split head of the living corpse, the burning of the silver has stopped.

A large number of buds and branches immediately emerged from the wound, intertwined with each other... Between the two halves of the head at a 90° angle, a flower cluster was formed, which was used as a brand new head.

Looking at Yi Chen again,

Like an unconscious crazy beast, rushing forward.

distorted,

Exaggerated pace,

The roots on the back are dancing wildly,
Yi Chen can only rely on visual enhancement to try his best to understand the route of each root waving,
His eyes were bloodshot in the process,
Roll, sideways, jump back.

Find every gap and give a counterattack.

7,

6,

5,

...One by one tentacles were cut off by Yi Chen,
Similarly, due to the penetrating injury of the sole of the foot and the weak left arm, Yi Chen's movements were obviously slower than before.

In the process, his waist and abdomen were pierced and his thighs were torn apart.

May fall at any time.

"There are...the last two left."

Grit your teeth.

Yi Chen was preparing to dodge the next attack.

hum!
Tinnitus hit, like gongs and drums beating in the brain.

The field of vision instantly became blurred, and the perception of the body was also rapidly disappearing.

Only halfway through the evasion action, the body fell forward

Swish!
The roots of the living corpse failed to dodge completely,

Almost brushed across the right shoulder,

Happened to scratch the black fleshy ball mounted on the shoulder,
A viscous, grotesque black blood flowed between the furry wounds,
The eyeball contained in the mouth was also instantly dyed black, staring at the living corpse in front of him.

Just a glance!It made the living corpse produce a primitive instinctive reaction.

【fear】

An extremely strong instinct of fear compelled the living corpse to freeze in place,

At the same moment,

Yi Chen, who was in a trance, didn't fall down after staggering forward... I don't know what kind of perseverance, but he concentrated again.

He couldn't think any more,
There is only one thought in my heart - [kill the target]

The hand ax is in the air,
While making a slashing movement, the body also twisted,

The potential aroused between life and death mobilizes the strength of the whole body,

The field of vision is firmly locked on the bulge of the living corpse's waist.

Whoosh!
Also out of survival instinct,
The roots growing on the back of the living corpse immediately protect the 'vital points', hardening the epidermis.

The silver blade falls...

click!
The sound similar to the breaking of trees and the breaking of wooden blocks spread among the No. 4 cemetery.

Two hardened roots fly in the air,

The festering mass hidden under the skin was completely cut open...

The moment the slash is complete,
Perseverance can no longer support,

Yi Chen's eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground together with the living corpse.
