The afternoon sun was scorching, the highway long since dessicated, and the air permeated with an odd scent.
"What's this smell?" Mu Chen inhaled, then covered his nose and mouth with a grimace.
"Virus," Ling Mo said flatly.
"Damn..." Mu Chen frowned but remained relatively calm.
Viruses that have not mutated do not transmit via respiratory route; even for self-secreted mutated viruses like those from the "wig", it takes a substantial period before symptoms of infection appear in humans.
In the city, it's common for strange odors to emerge after rain.
Swollen corpses, blood mixed into the water after a fight, rotten flesh flushed from corners, clothes and pants drenched in various odd fluids...
Once the sun shines, all sorts of smells would emerge.
The strong odors here must definitely be because of Nirvana Headquarters.
There weren't many zombies around here, a clear sign of clean-up. But inside Nirvana Headquarters, the number of dead zombies was definitely not small.
