Between life and death, Harry endured the ringing in his head. The hammer followed closely and almost at the same time the monster's hand hit Harry's cheek, the hammer also hit the monster's face.

Harry has drawn three spiritual source, the strength has grown at least a hundred pounds, plus his own strength is not weak, the hammer down, there was a bone cracking sound, the face of the monster immediately deformed, nose collapsed, teeth flying out, even the eyeballs were smashed out.

The corpse monster fell backwards heavily and fell to the ground with a thud, Harry was afraid that he could still move to attack, followed up, forcing his left eye tears flowing, blurred vision, the hammer in his hand towards the fallen corpse monster that has rotten face hole and then add a hammer.

This hammer down, the brains are splashed out, the whole face of the corpse monster completely rotten, the skin surface of the white hair immediately shrinkage to the body disappeared.

Harry sighed heavily and stopped, rubbing his left eye with the back of his hand. Just now, he had taken a heavy hit to his left face, leaving half of his face numb and the left eye affected as well.

A white fluff ball appeared on the surface of the dead mutant's body lying motionless on the ground, shot into the center of Harry's forehead and merged into his body. Immediately, Harry's whole body was enveloped in a warm current, with a large amount of warm current enveloping his left cheek this time.

The numb cheek immediately regained feeling, and the burning pain in his left eye disappeared.

Harry understood that the "spirit source" was healing the injuries he had just suffered.

After a few seconds, the hot current inside his body disappeared and a message appeared in his mind: "Spirit source: 4/5."

"Only one more to go. As long as I kill one more monster and absorb a spirit source, that will be 5/5. I wonder what will happen then?" Harry felt both anticipation and a sense of fear.

He looked forward to new changes and gaining more powerful abilities, but he was also afraid of turning into a monster like these mutant corpses with white fluff growing on their bodies.

His strength had grown a bit since killing the first mutant. Harry had absorbed four spirit sources in a row, and his strength had continued to increase. According to his own estimation, he had gained at least a few hundred pounds of strength.

The window glass on the balcony was shattered. If there were more mutant corpses outside, they could crawl in at any time. Harry still held tightly onto his hammer and kitchen knife, ready for anything. Of course, the most feared and terrifying thing was the unknown black shadow hidden in the water.

It looked like a big fish or a giant python, suddenly breaking the surface of the water just now and dragging the mutant corpse of the fifty-something-year-old woman into the water. Harry hadn't had a chance to see it clearly because it was too fast.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

The only thing he could see was the woman's transformation into a mutant without any resistance, struggling powerlessly, and being dragged into the water in an instant.

"If I were bitten and dragged into the water, I would probably end up the same way..." Harry dared not go near the balcony, fearing that the monster would suddenly break the surface of the water and drag him down.

"Now what? There's such a terrifying monster hidden in the water, and I can't leave." Harry slowly retreated and sat down on the sofa in the living room, then glanced at the makeshift wooden raft on the ground.

Originally, he wanted to leave here by raft to see if there were any survivors in other buildings and find a way out. But now that he knew there was a monster hidden in the water, how could he dare to leave by raft?

"Staying here is still relatively safe, although mutant corpses may appear at any time. If I encounter that monster on the raft, being dragged into the water would be a dead end."

Harry gave up his plan to escape, at least for the time being. He also wanted to kill another mutant and see what changes would happen after absorbing five spirit sources. He believed that the message in his mind must have some meaning.

Originally, he was afraid of mutant corpses appearing, but now he was vaguely looking forward to another one appearing. However, he did not want to face a situation where there were no new mutant corpses but only safety and a strong smell of blood in the darkness.

Although Harry's body had been continuously strengthened since killing the first mutant, he was mentally exhausted and lonely from facing one mishap after another, surrounded by darkness and alone.

At first, he tried to stay awake and listen for any changes or movements around him. But as time passed, he became more and more tired and eventually could not hold on any longer. He moved the corpse of the mutant in the bedroom out, blocked the bedroom window with a cabinet and stood the bed upright and pressed it against the cabinet for added safety.

With the cabinet and bed blocking the way, even if the mutant corpses outside had the ability to break through the cabinet and bed, it would not be an instant thing. The huge noise would surely wake him up.

After that, Harry moved the makeshift wooden raft made from two wooden doors and the bag of food inside, locked the door from the inside, and put the raft on the ground. He made a bed on it, holding a kitchen knife in one hand and a hammer in the other, and lay down.

He was too tired and fell asleep almost as soon as he lay down.

Harry rarely dreamed, but he had a nightmare that night. He saw an endless ocean in his dream, but it was full of floating corpses. He was the only one standing on a raft, surrounded by corpses. Suddenly, these floating corpses came to life, opening their fish-like eyes and mouths full of fangs. Their twisted and grotesque faces were terrifying beyond words. They reached out their hands like locusts and swarmed towards him.

"Ah-" Harry screamed in fear, escaping from one nightmare only to fall into another.

In this nightmare, he was struggling desperately in the water, sinking deeper and deeper, his hands and feet bound, surrounded by black long hair floating in the water. The hair entangled his limbs, pulling him deeper and deeper into the water with a great force.

Harry kept struggling up, kicking his legs hard. Suddenly, a face appeared in the black hair below him. It was his girlfriend Amma's face.

Harry was horrified and about to call her name when Amma opened her mouth. The corners of her mouth split to the ears, revealing long fangs like a vampire. Her blood-red forked tongue stretched out and bit fiercely towards Harry.

Harry experienced all kinds of strange and terrifying nightmares until he was awakened by a loud knocking at the door.
