Chapter 4 Senses

 Looking at the nearly four-meter-long iron gate in front of him and the spiked vertical bodies arranged on the top.

It will definitely take a lot of time to cross over.

 Once you are approached by a living corpse during the climb, you will be completely forced into a dead end with no chance of survival.

  【Transfer quickly】

Cemetery No. 4 covers an area larger than other cemeteries.

With the messy graves and the varying heights of the land, there is still a certain amount of room for detours.

 Adjust the flame of the kerosene lamp to the minimum.

 After a short run,

Yichen relied on the memories in his mind and came to a high **** area where it was easy to hide.

There are various types of large tombstones erected here. His thin body can just be hidden behind an arched stone monument.

 Ears to the ground,

I haven’t heard any noise yet, and I’m sure the living corpses haven’t followed yet.

 Sit curled up with his back against the tombstone.

The cold tombstone next to it actually made Yi Chen feel at ease.

ˆHu~hu~

 After taking a breath, I recalled a few strange things that had just happened.

　　　　Who closed the door?

Moreover, the door was locked with a chain... If I had to guess, it was most likely the work of the 'organization' mentioned in the manual.

 Because of the mistakes made by the original owner of this body [William], the organization should send people to monitor the cemetery to avoid bigger mistakes.

 When they found me in Cemetery No. 4 and tried to make up for their mistake, they locked the gate through some means.

 This can lead to the following two results more intuitively and quickly.

 1. Either I can survive the crisis and handle the zombie incident perfectly.

  Two, either I will be killed and they will solve the problem themselves. 』

Yi Chen did not stay on this issue for too long, and quickly moved to another issue - the "warning sound" that saved him just now.

　　"This sound is almost the same as the sound of thanks heard in Cemetery No. 6. Could it be that..."

While Yi Chen was thinking,

Shasha~

There was a sound of loose soil,

The raised grave in front of me moved strangely, as if something was about to crawl out.

"This...I just used your tombstone to hide, there is no other meaning!"

Yi Chen subconsciously thought that it was his rude behavior that disturbed the tomb owner here.

While explaining,

 Slowly stood up and held the hand ax in front of him.

Who knows.

 The familiar and strange sound came from the soil again:

“Don’t stand up, if you are discovered by ‘that guy’ now, things will become very troublesome...”

 With the sliding of soil particles,

 A strange mouth emerged from among the graves.

The upper and lower rows of white, straight teeth are extremely conspicuous and too dense.

The number of teeth is estimated to be more than twice that of normal humans.

The other person didn’t seem to have any intention of showing his whole face, he just showed his mouth.

at this time,

 White teeth open up and down at about 90°.

 The inner walls of the mouth are all black, and no tongue structure can be seen... It's like a dark abyss, and long-term staring will give people the feeling of being sucked into it.

 Deep in the mouth,

 Something is rising.

Through the faint flame of the kerosene lamp, a spherical outline can be faintly seen.

finally,

 An eyeball with black pupils and white body came between the mouth and the mouth, staring straight at Yi Chen.

Perhaps because I have just seen a terrifying living corpse that is beyond common sense,

The strange sight of "tooth eyes" in front of him did not frighten Yi Chen at all.

The intuition in his brain is also telling him that the guy in front of him may not be dangerous, and may even be 'friendly'.

“Are you from Cemetery No. 6?”

 After Yi Chen made tentative inquiries,

 Deep in the mouth,

I don’t know what form it took, but it once again made a strange sound that seemed to be a mixture of multiple people:

“Yes, I am a resident of the pet area... I happened to have recently been born with [self-awareness], and when I was putting my body together, I accidentally collapsed the tombstone.

I didn’t expect that a low-level [laborer] like you would take the initiative to help with repairs.

and,

 Even the ‘time period’ you appeared in is problematic.

 I was very curious about this, so I came over to have a look.

Now I understand... It turns out that you made a mistake, which led to you getting into the [Mass Burial Area] variant. "

These words contained a lot of words with unknown meanings, and Yi Chen could barely understand them.

“Do the pet area and mass burial area refer to cemetery No. 6 and cemetery No. 4 respectively?”

“That’s right...cemeteries are like factories, and different cemeteries are workshops with different functions, which will produce something of value on a regular basis.

 The most problematic areas are the desecration area (2) and the mass burial area (4).

 As for more information, it doesn’t make any sense to tell you now.

 The only thing you need to do now is to clean up this corpse variant. "

 “Will you help?”

Yi Chen raised the most critical question. If he could get help from a fellow "cemetery resident", the survival rate would be greatly improved.

 “I can’t really help.

  After all, my position in the cemetery is just a 'pet', and there is no way to deal with such a variant. "

As he spoke, the eyeballs in his mouth rolled around.

“However, since you are helping to repair the tombstone, I am willing to provide some ‘sensory’ assistance.”

 “Senses?”

Shasha~The mound of soil is further loosened,

 An arm covered with black down suddenly stretched out,

With the support of the arm, the black sphere breaks away from the soil and reveals its true appearance.

The legs are in a figure-eight shape, standing on the grave in a domineering manner.

 Such a stance seems to show off his [body].

　　　　Ah this…』

The terrifying image Yi Chen imagined in his mind was instantly shattered, and he also understood why this guy came from the pet zone.

This ball of furry black flesh is about the size of two palms.

 The limbs are about the same thickness as a cat, slightly longer.

 The palm is divided into three petals and looks like three fingers. It seems to have a similar effect to the pads of flesh.

 When the little guy finished showing off his body,

 Leap up with your legs,

Falling steadily on Yi Chen’s shoulders,

Strange things also happened immediately,

 Gajigaji~

Its slender legs and feet were actually disassembled into smaller black blood vessels.

 The port is as sharp as a needle,

 Penetrate through clothes,

 Plunge into flesh and blood,

　　"Attach" its furry body to the shoulders and turn it into a mass of external tissue.

 In addition to the connection of blood vessels,

Neural grafting was also performed to directly connect to Yi Chen’s brain tissue.

Buzz!

 When the installation is complete,

Yichen felt that his [vision] had changed.

 The entire visual frame is stretched and enlarged, and a small window is added on the right side, allowing the visual frame provided by the human eye to be seen.

 As the meat ball rotates on the shoulder,

  You can have a panoramic view of the cemetery with a 360° view all around.

Such a 'split-screen' vision may be difficult for most people to adapt to...but Yi Chen didn't feel any discomfort, and instead showed an ecstatic expression.

The most important thing,

 When the flesh ball and Yi Chen’s eyes are looking straight ahead,

 The small window will merge with the main field of view.

 The visual field will become clearer, and even the fungal spores floating in the air can be clearly seen.

 This is the so-called [sensory] assistance, turning into Yi Chen's "second sight".

 Similarly,

 Due to neural connections,

 The small meat ball can directly communicate with Yi Chen consciously and can give timely danger warnings.
