Chapter 272: Apocalypse of the Living Dead (47)
For twenty years, on the basis of evolution, the rate of evolution of the living dead has lagged behind that of the supernatural. The living dead were severely inintelligent in the early stages, and even had cannibalism among their kinds, and the resources for evolution were very limited. But with the Anomalous, it's a completely different situation.
The evolution of the ability depends on the ability, the sense of ability fluctuations and the control of their own ability is the key to the improvement of the ability of the ability, similar to the exercise of muscles, if a person frequently uses his ability and carries out reasonable self-training, then the overall evolution speed of the ability is far faster than that of the living dead.
However, in terms of ability, the later the living dead and the supernatural are more disparity. The Living Dead evolve slowly, with a long cycle and limited numbers, but their abilities far exceed those of their contemporaries. High-level zombies are not a problem with one enemy and five enemies, and the zombies can control the corpse tide, so they become more powerful.
The emergence of the phenomenon of high-level zombies dominating the corpse tide makes human society very fearful. The ability of high-level zombies is already terrifying, and it cannot be allowed to continue to evolve, so no matter what the situation, as long as there is a suspected high-level zombie, its evolution must be stopped and this uneasy threat must be suppressed. Because now except for Xiao Lan, who has Laneige's memory, no one knows what the ultimate form of the evolution of the living dead will look like.
Xiao Lan and his party continued to move in the tree hole, and the transformers began to take pictures of local materials, using machinery and equipment to record abnormal energy fluctuations, and waited until the signal was dense before uploading it to the headquarters, waiting for the next batch of investigation teams from the headquarters of the "Ninth District".
The vines intertwined the entire interior of the tree hole, as if a fortress had been built, and the whole empty and dark interior could not be seen. At the source of the entire "fortress", the vitality of the red seedlings themselves is constantly being transported outward, which creates a miracle in the wilderness desert.
"The abilities of the Alien and the Zombie are originally of the same origin, but why are they so different? One is a bloodthirsty beast, and the other is a more rational and powerful human, which is really amazing. It was only in exchange for such a spectacle that the corpses everywhere were exchanged, and Chen Lao couldn't help but sigh.
"Bloodthirsty beasts, not necessarily. Xiao Lan smiled in a low voice and didn't say much.
While the two were chatting for a while, the others had already recorded the relevant work and came to report it.
"After collecting the materials, you can make the difference, and this time the task is quite simple. ”
Xiao Lan nodded, this mission was indeed simpler than she imagined, and there were no casualties and huge gains. The rest of the matter is to find a signal and report the relevant content, and then you can go back to headquarters.
"Okay, let's go. Chen Lao also praised the efficiency of this temporary team.
Thinking about it, if they were gone, there would be no one left here, just afraid that something would happen. For the sake of safety, someone still proposed: "Boss, we can let Elder Chen set up a space trap here to prevent the tribesmen outside from coming in and destroying the core creatures." ”
Space trap is to cut the space within a certain range and place a trap invisibly, which can pull or cut the enemy under the space gap. If you don't take into account the statute of limitations, a large-scale space trap can kill people invisibly and intimidatingly.
"Yes. Xiao Lan glanced at the core creature, lowered her head and thought for a moment, and finally agreed with these words, and motioned to Elder Chen, "Just in case." "She doesn't know the functions of the core creatures very well, but it doesn't have much of a problem to do that.
But it was Xiao Lan's choice that brought about an accident.
Chen Lao stretched out his arms and manipulated the space, setting off an abnormal energy fluctuation within the area, breaking the original energy wave flow and stimulating Hongmiao's self-preservation behavior. The ability fluctuations in the tree hole changed form, sending out a huge impact that caused the ability to temporarily lose the ability to operate, and Chen Lao sat down in a daze. Immediately, the vines in the tree hole were awakened, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into sharp swords, and countless sharp thorns attacked Xiao Lan and them.
"Hell, what's going on?!"
Xiao Lan immediately erected a protective barrier when she felt that something was wrong, and shouted loudly: "Stay away!
The ice barrier turned into a crystal sphere, tightly blocking the vines from six sides. But there are more and more awakened vines, the frequency of attacks is gradually increasing, the thickness of the entire sphere is gradually shrinking, and their state is also very passive, Xiao Lan knows that it won't last long.
"Old Chen, you will take it directly later, and give him the rest to cover. She could only hold on as much as she could, and let the members of the squad sort out first and prepare to fight back.
As the ice hockey defense was breached, Xiao Lan shouted loudly, "Take it away!"
The crack continued to grow, and with a loud noise, the ice ball shattered into ice chips, Xiao Lan launched a wide range of abilities, expanding the ice surface with her as the center, freezing the plants at low temperatures, and others desperately blocked to protect themselves. The counterattack of the crowd gave Chen Lao a breather, and he made a space jump to bring the red seedlings into the space.
The endless pouring of psychic energy came to an abrupt halt, like a moving object suddenly vanishing. All the vines stopped moving, and slowly drooped down, but they were no longer aggressive, and the group took a breath.
If it weren't for Xiao Lan's quick enough reaction, under the shock of the ability, everyone would not have the power to fight back at all. But among their squads, there were still casualties. Unfortunately, one of the modders did not escape the attack, and was pierced through the chest by the vines, unable to move.
"How?!"
"Seriously injured, take a heart booster, first help him stop the bleeding and hang, and then return to the shelter for emergency treatment. ”
The chest cavity of the modified person has been penetrated, and the entire lung has been irreversibly damaged, but fortunately, the physical fitness after the transformation is outstanding, and there is still salvation without dying on the spot. Xiao Lan first cut and hardened the penetrating vine, and the medical soldier injected a dose of medicine to keep him awake and reduce the loss of blood from the wound.
Now that the situation is basically under control, the red seedlings cannot cause harm to people in the dimensional space, and the top priority is about the injured, and they must return to the shelter quickly.
Wave after wave, just as they were about to get out of the tree hole, the sudden ability fluctuation made Xiao Lan vigilant and blocked the team's way.
"There are supernatural ones!"
"Alert!"
Ability is smooth and fluent, but also easily depleted. In the episode caused by the red seedlings just now, Chen Lao and Xiao Lan's abilities were consumed by more than half. The uninvited guest who came from outside is also a top-level ability from the perspective of fluctuations, and it is not easy to deal with, but I am afraid that it will be another vicious battle. At the same time, the frequency of this ability fluctuation is also very familiar to Xiao Lan, like an "old man" who has not been seen for twenty years
