23:20.
121 Street.
A famous bar street in Qingzhou.
It's also one of the most densely populated areas at night.
At the end of the street, on the dimly lit roadside.
A deliveryman sat on a motorcycle, staring at the passing figures beside him, his slightly grayish-white eyes staring wide.
Saliva leaked from the corners of his mouth, wetting his mask, trickling down his jaw, and dripping onto his crotch.
Even with a mask, it was difficult to hide the excitement on his face.
Like a hungry beast locking onto its prey, he desperately wanted to pounce on them and tear them apart, put them in his mouth, and gorge himself.
But he didn't move for a long time.
His hands clenched the sides of his pants tightly.
Sharp nails dug into his palms but he didn't flinch.
As if he was desperately restraining something.
The passing figures looked at this strange scene with disdain.
They took the deliveryman as a pitiful person begging for sympathy.
They only glanced at him briefly and then walked away.
"Slap!"
At this moment, a young man dressed in brand-name clothes, surrounded by beauties, slightly drunk, walked up to the deliveryman, took out a stack of money from his bag, and disdainfully threw it in the deliveryman's face.
"I'm happy tonight, and this money is for you!"
"Pick up the money and leave quickly, don't ruin my fun here."
The young man pinched the waist of the beauty next to him gently, and his face was full of contemptuous smiles.
Upon hearing this, the deliveryman didn't go to pick up the scattered money.
Smelling the wonderful scent nearby, his eyes grew even wider, staring straight at the young man.
His eyeballs seemed to be about to pop out.
The saliva was even more exaggerated, like a tiny stream, pouring out through the mask.
A slight growl also came from his throat.
But the surrounding noise was too loud, and no one heard it.
Just then, the deliveryman suddenly received a command in his mind.
It was issued by Lin Chuan.
Roar!
Upon receiving the command, the deliveryman no longer restrained himself and roared loudly.
He ripped off his mask and charged at the young man with arms swinging like a hungry wolf.
Sharp nails slashed out a cold glint in the dim light.
Before the young man and everyone else could react, he tackled the young man to the ground.
He revealed sharp teeth and bit into the young man's neck.
With a shake of his head, he easily tore off a piece of flesh and blood.
Blood sprayed out like a water column along the blood vessels.
The ground within half a meter nearby was instantly dyed red.
The deliveryman bit into the flesh and blood, chewed it briefly in his mouth, and then swallowed it down his throat.
Then, using his sharp nails, he ripped open the young man's chest directly, grabbed the internal organs inside, and stuffed them into his mouth in large gulps.
In just a blink of an eye.
The young man didn't even have time to scream and was completely out of breath.
A pungent smell of blood filled the air.
The two beauties who were embraced by the young man just a second ago were immediately scared and screamed when they saw the bloody scene of the deliveryman gnawing on the corpse.
They wanted to flee, but found that their legs wouldn't listen to them.
Instead, they became soft and limp, collapsing to the ground with a "thud".
"M-m-murder!"
The passersby were startled by this unexpected scene and retreated in horror, not understanding what had happened at all, and unconsciously stammered in shock.
Under the shouting of this voice, everyone on the street turned their gaze towards this side.
Some were scared and fled in panic, but more people gathered here quickly under the influence of curiosity.
They looked at the scattered red bills and the terrifying, bloody scene, but didn't choose to flee.
Instead, they stood in the distance, took out their phones to record videos, and didn't forget to comment:
"This person deserves to die. He really thinks he can easily trample on others' dignity with a few ugly dollars."
"Deliverymen are also human beings. Let this kid use his parents' money to be arrogant, phew!"
"Why am I feeling more and more horrified? Could that deliveryman be a zombie?"
"Zombie? You must have watched too much of the Resident Evil movies!"
...
"Hello, Police? There's a murder on 121 Street!"
Amidst the crowd's chatter, there were also kind-hearted individuals who immediately called the police.
The police were there to maintain city order.
Roar!
Just when everyone was watching intently, the deliveryman suddenly raised his head, dyed red with blood, and roared again.
As the roar spread.
The deliveryman suddenly lunged at the two frightened beauties.
With his palms covered in blood, blood dripping from his fingertips, he viciously clawed at the two women's bodies.
Leaving a bloody scratch on each of them.
Then, he locked his gaze on the bystanders around him.
He dashed out and started biting and tearing them apart.
In just a few blinks, several people had their throats bitten off and fell into a pool of blood.
While more people were scratched by the deliveryman, they narrowly escaped unharmed.
Until this moment, the bystanders realized the danger of the deliveryman.
Facing the charging deliveryman, they screamed continuously and scattered in panic.
They fled 121 Street at the fastest speed possible.
But this was already a densely populated area.
As panic spread, it immediately presented a chaotic scene of people pushing each other.
It was very chaotic.
Seeing this, the security personnel responsible for maintaining street order, though panicked, tightened their self-defense batons and went against the flow.
They didn't want to lose their jobs over a disturbance caused by a deliveryman.
"Damn it, let go of me!"
"Zombie... Zombie!"
"It's really a zombie, run for your lives!"
Before several security personnel could squeeze in front of the deliveryman, screams and cries echoed again in the chaotic crowd.
A girl in her early twenties, whose arm had just been scratched by the deliveryman, suddenly went crazy and bit her boyfriend's body.
The boyfriend was big and burly, but he wasn't as strong as the girl.
He struggled for less than two seconds before his head was violently twisted off by the girl.
The girl then hugged her boyfriend's body and devoured it.
After swallowing several pieces of flesh, she lunged at the others.
Another man also suddenly went crazy.
Howl!
He let out a monster-like howl and viciously attacked his companions, regardless of their relationship.
His sharp claws, like a lethal weapon, easily tore open a person's chest, pulled out the fresh, warm internal organs, and stuffed them into his mouth.
Looking around, there were actually more than a dozen such people.
Each of them had been scratched by the deliveryman before.
But that wasn't the scariest part.
The scariest part was a person who had been bitten through the throat by the deliveryman and was already dead, yet somehow rose from the blood and started viciously biting and devouring fleeing people.
Seeing this scene, several security personnel were so scared that their legs trembled, and they dared not continue forward.
They didn't want to lose their lives over a job that paid a few thousand yuan a month.
They started frantically pushing through the crowd, eager to flee this troubled place.
As more and more people were infected and became zombies, the originally chaotic and crowded street turned into a complete mess.
Fear gripped everyone's hearts.
Everyone exerted all their strength to squeeze out.
Some physically weak men and women were easily pushed down by those behind them in this chaotic escape.
Before they could get up, their bodies were already trampled on by many people.
No matter how much the girls screamed and begged for help, no one paid attention.
Only when they were trampled to death did they fall silent.
At this moment, everyone was fighting for their lives, who would care about the lives of others?
...
Meanwhile.
Similar incidents were unfolding in multiple places in Qingzhou.
The lively and crowded food street.
Within the quiet and peaceful university campus.
Residential areas with the largest population.
Streets with sparse population.
A desolate construction site guarded by only a few security guards.
