The Post-Apocalyptic Survival Journey After Becoming a Beautiful Girl

I could even hear the sound of my scalp groaning under the strain as my hair was torn!

My body also slammed into something, the protrusion sending a sharp jolt through my lower back!

"Sss!!!"

I sucked in a breath of cold air, but I didn't dare relax for a moment, because that monster was charging over again!!

I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead!!!

In that instant, the whole world seemed to slow down, and I... could only watch helplessly as that monster-like thing came bounding toward me in large strides.

From the mouth on its green half-face, between teeth like a shark's, disgusting drool couldn't stop flowing out!

And I... it seemed like I was really finished.

At that moment, only this thought remained in my mind...

Chapter 8: A Moment of Life and Death

In an instant, I felt my body suddenly become very light, and my thoughts were extremely sharp, with an extraordinary calm like the legendary 'Sage Mode' after finishing.

Subconsciously, I thought... 'In this state, I don't seem like myself.'

Time was flowing slowly; I could even see every tiny movement on that monster. The right half of its body had turned green, the shirt it wore was torn open, and its green skin was covered in small bumps like a toad's, glinting with a strange light.

At that moment, I thought: "Ah~ so... this guy is a mutant monster adapted to amphibious life..."

This thought came not only from that strange skin, but also because, on the right half of its face, besides the front-facing eye, there was a row of wriggling gills on the right side of its lower jaw.

Although my thoughts had become very fast, it was obvious that this didn't stop the passage of time. That half-green, half-human monster was still approaching me.

Only now did I notice that the originally human half had twisted beyond recognition, as if... the thing that turned it green was devouring its body.

Because at the junction of the green part and the human part, it was clearly visible that the green was eroding the yellow skin.

But at this moment, I could only think about it. After all, that monster's strength was too great; it could easily send an iron-framed bed flying. Its arm strength was at least several hundred jin. Surviving two of its attacks was already incredibly lucky.

Even though I thought this in my mind, there was a feeling of unwillingness in my heart. And in that instant, the corner of my eye caught sight of the fruit knife I had used earlier to cut my hair.

Although the knife wasn't big, its blade was very sharp—otherwise, it wouldn't have cut through such thick hair so easily. About ten centimeters in length, if... I could really make a desperate gamble...

"I'll go for it!!"

Gritting my teeth, I suddenly leaped forward. At the same time, the time that had nearly frozen began to flow again!

The monster's movements didn't seem very smooth. Perhaps because it hadn't fully mutated yet, its left and right sides weren't very coordinated. Even though it had that thick tail to adjust its balance, it seemed very difficult to turn.

I dove in a clumsy, face-first sprawl, slipping out from under the monster's armpit!

"Thud!"

The moment I hit the ground, my eyes were fixed only on that steel knife gleaming with cold light! And that fruit knife was less than five centimeters away from me!

Ignoring the dull pain in my chest, I grabbed the fruit knife, scrambled to my feet, and then...

"Ah!"

I don't know what I stepped on, but I suddenly slipped. This time, I fell flat on the ground, and immediately felt a tightness in my chest. The pain from those two lumps of fat made me...

It moved me so much that tears streamed down my face without my control!

Just because of that brief delay... my foot was caught by that monster!

Could it be... that I'm going to die like this?!—In that instant, what flashed through my mind was actually...

That bastard Long Tianfeng's face!!

Just how tragic am I?!

On the verge of death, the face I see is this guy's?!

No! I refuse, I absolutely refuse to end like this!

Rage surged up inside me. I don't know how to describe my state right now—perhaps it's... fear pushed to its absolute limit becomes fury.

"Ah!!!!!!"

I screamed hysterically, swinging the fruit knife in my hand with all my might!

Suddenly, I felt a dull resistance as the knife in my hand cut into flesh, and immediately after, the monster let out a fierce roar!

"Roar!!!"

The next second, I felt the world spin wildly. When my back slammed hard against the cold wall, I realized...

That monster... was actually clutching its... lower body... that thing.

"Heh... heh heh... even monsters have dicks?"

The back of my head hit the wall, and a warm stream slid down my forehead—slick and slightly itchy. I reached up and touched it; it was warm...

"Is this... blood...?" I murmured, staring at the crimson on my hand, then lifted my gaze to look at the monster.

So it seems the monster's evolution didn't get rid of that thing, huh?

Clearly, on the crotch of those tattered jeans, a fresh cut existed there, and from that cut, a large patch was steadily soaking through.

It wasn't incontinence—it was green... blood?

Leaning against the wall, I slowly stood up. Everything before me was blurry, and my body felt weak. Before I could steady myself, my foot slipped, and I nearly fell again.

The fatigue in my body and the waves of dizziness made me want to lie down right now, sleep it off, and deal with things later—but right now... was not that time.

"Maybe... now is the best chance to kill this monster."

Because it was obvious—the monster was roaring in pain without stopping, its cries echoing through the entire corridor, and it was desperately guarding its lower body. Several times it tried to step forward, but hesitated due to the intense pain.

Though I found it strange—since it evolved into a monster, why keep such an obvious weakness? Isn't that just asking for someone to smash it?

Still... I was very grateful for this situation. At least that weakness—fatal even for a living person—gave me a chance to kill it!

Time waits for no one. I gripped the fruit knife tightly in my hand and looked at the monster. At the same time, the monster was looking back at me—those dozen or so eyes on the right side of its face were fixed on me... it even felt like being stared down by a snake.

But comparatively, I'd rather face a venomous snake than this monster!

Thinking this, my steps didn't stop!

In the monster's eyes, there was a very clear hatred, which gave me a very bad feeling...

But for now, killing this monster was the top priority!

As I walked toward the monster, I reversed my grip on the fruit knife. And that monster—instead of advancing—actually retreated a little!

It really does have intelligence!

Seeing this, a chill instantly ran through my heart. If monsters like this have intelligence, is this world still a world for humans?

But clearly, that monster was also slowly recovering. It seemed that this kind of pain—nearly fatal for a man—

was not quite so deadly for the monster.

But... you've already lost your chance to fight back!

The reason I took a few steps forward was right under my feet!

The blanket that had fallen from the flipped bed!

"Die!!"

I didn't know if my shout would have any effect on the monster, but I gave it a try. And the result, as expected, did not disappoint me—the moment I yelled, the monster's right foot retreated half a step!

'Perfect!'

My confidence surged. Everything was going as calculated!

Now... its right foot was planted on the tiled floor, while its other foot, still in a human tourist shoe, was exactly on top of the blanket!
