My Post-Apocalyptic Survival Journey After Becoming a Beautiful Girl

I walked a few steps over and was just about to crouch down when suddenly, a shadow flashed by the corner of my right eye. Instinctively, I

jumped back several times. My enhanced body allowed me to leap much further than before, covering two to three meters with each step. I put distance between myself and

that shadow.

Once I steadied myself and drew my samurai sword with a shing!, I finally had time to look at the shadow!

"What the hell is that?!"

A long... like... like a rope? No, no, no... this thing looked like it was made of flesh, and it was still

"A tongue!!"

The thought flashed through my mind. The next second, I followed the fleshy strip back to its base. What appeared before my eyes... was something stuck to the wall, completely plastered against the building's facade. Its color was very close to the wall, which must be why I didn't notice it immediately.

Moreover, its bone structure was clearly different from a human's. Unlike the green monsters, at least their basic skeletons maintained a human form, walking upright with five fingers.

This thing had five fingers too, but its toes had actually grown into structures similar to its fingers. If it weren't for the distinct head structure, I wouldn't have been able to tell which end was its upper body and which was its lower body!

"Hiss!!! What the hell is this thing?! Didn't this virus just break out a month ago? How are such terrifying things already appearing!!"

I muttered to myself. The moment I finished speaking, the creature began to climb the wall of the building beside me with incredible speed. And...

it was approaching me?!

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Attack!

The creature's movements were just like a gecko clinging to a wall. Although it was only for an instant, I clearly saw that it wasn't using its fingers to grip the wall.

Instead, it was pressing its palms flat against the wall and climbing rapidly...

Its speed was even faster than a human running!!

"What the f*** is this thing!!"

I cursed under my breath and quickly drew a crossbow bolt, pulling back the bowstring. However, before I could even aim, a shadow flashed past my eye. Instinctively ducking, the long, whip-like tongue swept over my head and slammed hard onto the ground!

"Slam!!!"

With a sharp crack like an iron whip, I stared dumbfounded as the ground tile beneath the several-meter-long fleshy tongue was shattered!

"Hiss!! How much strength does that take?!"

I gasped, and the next second, I suddenly heard a gust of wind!

Instinctively, I put the Big Black Eagle in front of me!

I was grabbed!!

The Big Black Eagle in my hands was being dragged, and the force transmitted was immense. So, I gritted my teeth and pulled the trigger!

"Bang~~~~"

"Roar~~~~"

Accompanied by a sharp cry and the twang of the bowstring, a splattering of black blood landed on my clothes. At the same time, something fell to the ground with a "thud"!

No time to look, I felt the force on the crossbow disappear. I quickly retreated a few steps, threw the Big Black Eagle into the grass of the nearby community garden, and reached for the hilt of my samurai sword!

"Shing!!"

With a gust of wind, I suddenly felt a strong force strike my right arm, followed by a long, slimy thing wrapping itself around me!

Is that its tongue?!

I wasn't sure if it was its tongue, but at that moment, I knew that if I got completely trapped by this thing, it would be all over!

In an instant, I suddenly roused my spirits. The next second, a stream of heat surged from my lower abdomen to my entire body, accompanied by my heart beating rapidly and a low buzzing in my ears. I had entered this peculiar state once again.

Everything in front of me slowed down in an instant, and I clearly saw the tongue, covered in bulging veins. It was also coated with some mucus and the sand from the ground. At this moment, it had already wrapped around me once, but fortunately, it hadn't trapped my left hand!

If it had been even a little later, I would have been dead!

However, even with the extraordinary state activated, the monster's speed wasn't slow. The tongue wrapped around me even faster than the monster itself moved!

"Break!!!"

With a soft shout, the next second, I directly drew the saber from my chest, raised my left hand high, and swung it down fiercely!

"Squelch!!!"

Black blood immediately splattered all over me. At the same time, the severed piece of flesh instantly lost its strength!

I broke free from the flesh with my arms, forcibly maintaining the extraordinary state. But it was obvious that I felt my stamina rapidly dissipating. I had already used it once in the morning, and after only seven or eight hours, I had used it again. This seemed to be putting a great strain on my body!

No time to think about this!

The monster's mouth slowly opened, letting out a painful roar, and the long, severed tongue slowly retracted. I clearly saw the monster's throat gradually bulge as the tongue retracted. It seemed they had mutated into something completely different from humans, evolving unique organs besides their bones!

The duration of the extraordinary state is only three to five seconds each time, and I can only use it twice a day at most. This is what I've deduced from past experiences after using it several times.

And now, more than a second had passed since I severed the monster's long tongue. For some reason, while in this state, my perception of time and space was incredibly clear. I could even instantly recreate everything I saw in my mind and form a three-dimensional model!

I lunged to the side, but it was too late!

The moment I dove into the grass, the extraordinary state instantly receded like a tide. A wave of fatigue almost made me close my eyes!

But I had already grabbed the cold Big Black Eagle crossbow. While rolling, I stepped on the stirrup and then yanked the bowstring hard!

"Ugh ugh ugh ah ah ah!!!"

My body tensed, using almost all my strength! As the bowstring "clicked" into the trigger, the monster on the other side let out a scream at the same time!

"Aow aow aow~~~"

The monster's screams rang out, incredibly eerie. However, relatively speaking, this also told me its location!

I reached out, pulled a bolt from the quiver at my waist, then rolled over and lay prone in the grass, pushing and locking the bolt with my hand!

The next second, the sound of rapid footsteps? No, it was a strange "squish squish" sound. I looked up sharply!

Only one eye, one mouth, its entire body like a skinned human, with clearly visible veins and muscles. Its round head was...

were covered in tumorous growths, and these growths covered its entire body. It was now spread out on all fours like a hyena, lunging at me with a foul stench!!

The next second, the shadow collided with me head-on! I had just gotten up when I was sent flying backward, and my left shoulder was

instantly pierced by its long claws.

A wave of intense pain made me groan involuntarily!!

"Ugh!!!"

The surrounding scenery blurred past me. The next moment, I saw a five-story building in my vision. Then, my perspective suddenly shifted, becoming a patch of blue sky, while my body

crashed hard against something metallic!

"CLANG!!!!"

"Ahhh..."

Along with the 'clang~' of metal hitting metal, I couldn't help but let out a soft groan, my vision swimming with dizziness.

But the monster clearly had no intention of letting me go...

A shadow gradually appeared before my eyes, blocking out the azure sky. The monster, with its single eye that was almost

several times larger than a normal person's,
