Chapter 53: Expensive Clothes
The sight in front of her made Yu Qingqing cover her mouth in disgust, and Li Zhen put her on a tall reef, told her to "stay here and don't run around", and jumped off the beach by herself.
He'd smelled more unpleasant than thatโfrom himself while he was still in the grave. So what made him frown slightly was the corpses of those sea creatures. They didn't look like any known creatures he knewโlike a dark black crab the size of a truck's tire with barbs on its back armor, a giant fish with exoskeletons and suspected limbs, and a giant jellyfish that looked like colorful cloudsโall of which seemed to have been dead for quite some time, their bodies highly decomposed, revealing their water-like tissues and organs or slightly bluish bones.
Li Zhen stood among these corpses and looked up into the distanceโthe sea was full of corpses like these, lifeless, without the slightest sign of biological activity.
There is no doubt that these are alienated creatures - like the sea snake that was found in Taiwan before. That night, Ying Long was severely injured by "Li Zhen" and spilled a large amount of blood. It is this blood that has caused many people to become "aliens", and has created these strange monsters that look hideous and terrifying.
And these monsters, like the sea serpent found in Taiwan, quickly die, degenerate, and decay quickly after being highly alienated and overdrawn their vitality.
It's just so many outliers...... I really don't know how seriously Ying Long was injured.
Li Zhen picked a raised reef and sat down, sighing slightly. The scene in front of him reminded him of "blood". The blood of the species. own blood.
Ying Long's blood can alienate ordinary creatures, and so can the mental contamination of Adam and Lucifer. In fact, maybe they can all use their spiritual power to transform ordinary creatures, and the blood of Adam and Lucifer has the same effect.
As for their own blood...... He thought about it for a long, long time, and finally felt that he had roughly figured out what the problem was.
He had saved three people, and later a captive of the Blade of the Wind mercenary whom he had killed. What these four people have in common with Kitagawa Harumi is that they are all capable people.
But the difference is that when these four people died, or were near death, their bodies were not affected. If Mr. Zhou from the North Academy is right, the source of ability is indeed due to changes at the genetic level. Then that's when they're dead or dying. In fact, the "ability" has not disappeared yet - whether you are dead or alive, using it or not, your ability is there.
However, when Kitagawa Harumi drank her own blood, her psionic energy was limited by the mysterious island - she was actually an ordinary person at the time.
So he came to the conclusion that his own blood could indeed heal the powerful. But for the average person, it's a cancer of cancer. It is surprisingly lethal and deadly.
This is more or less similar to the effect of the blood of those species - after ordinary people become xenomorphs. There is no way to regenerate.
If you think about it moreโwhat about your own blood to species and species?
He shed a little blood on the mysterious island, and it was that little bit of blood that drove the sea snakes mad. Now that I think about it, it can be seen as a sea serpent trying to "eat him and get his blood", or it can be seen as feeling threatened. To "get rid of it and then fast".
He thinks the latter is a little more likely. Because the scene when I first saw the species Chiyou in Shennongjia is vivid. At that time, Adam beheaded him in half, and carried his two parts to send him into Chiyou's body cavity, speeding up the resurrection of the terrible demon god. And just when Chiyou was about to merge himself - it was then!
That's when ...... His head had been completely sealed, and he could only feel some of Chiyou's emotions and hear some voices. He remembered Chiyou let out a roar and became a little panicked at the same time.
Yes, the terrifying demon god who was as majestic as a prison at that time felt "panicked"!
So it must be because of himself - he also felt something was wrong with his blood after regaining some consciousness? So later, when you fuse yourself, you will be limited to most of your abilities and eventually be killed by yourself?
He's different. Li Zhen has slowly figured this out - both for humans and for species. He fused the egg and left some memories in his heart. It was these memories that allowed Li Zhen to know his identity, although it was not real.
He is the "master" in the mouth of the species, perhaps a former "leader"-like figure, or maybe just a special bloodline. So does it mean that ...... "egg", and his ancestor, the "Yellow Emperor", was once a whole?
Later, because of some things, he was separated, and as a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, he fused with the egg again, and became an almost complete thing?
If you fuse with another "Li Zhen", ......
Is that the guy?
The real thing, "Lord"?
Li Zhen sighed slightly, looked at the southern shore, and then stood up and strode onto another reef. At this time, he heard Yu Qingqing Qing Dynasty not far away, shouting: "Brother, someone is coming!" โ
He squinted in the direction that Yu Qingqing was pointing and saw a figure pedaling a tricycle. The man's ride from a road leading to the sea seemed to be quite laborious. Li Zhen waved his hand to signal Yu Qingqing and the big man not to panic, and crossed over alone.
The other party also seemed to find him from the reef, and immediately stopped the car and did not move forward, spreading his hands helplessly.
Li Zhen smiled slightly, and jumped up and down several times in front of that person.
The other party was wearing a straw hat, a shabby camouflage uniform, a pair of torn leather shoes that could not be seen clearly on his feet, and a wet towel hanging from his neck. Seeing him approaching and putting his hand on the handle of the tricycle, he sighed weakly: "I really can't pedal." I've been on this journey for more than six hours. โ
Li Zhen said "hard work", but he leaned down and looked into the tricycle. There was a large box covered with a torn felt cloth, and in the corners were empty drink bottles and discarded newspapers that had been collected from nowhere.
It's disguised as a rag.
He carefully unwrapped the felt cloth to reveal the box. Then I had to open the box again. At this time, Du Qixi hurriedly pressed his shoulder: "Don't open it." This thing is expensive, and if something happens, it will be troublesome. โ
Li Zhen thought for a moment and let go of his hand: "But I have to check it." โ
Du Qixi shook his head slightly, jumped down from the tricycle and wiped his face with a towel: "You still can't trust me." But I have to tell you something...... I don't know if you're happy or unhappy after listening to it. โ
Li Zhen frowned suspiciously: "Good news and bad news? โ
"Yes." Du Qixi sat next to the tricycle, "Let's tell you the good news first." Now not only do I know that the one in the northern base of the Dao is fake, but Ying Ran and Dai Bingcheng should also know the Dao. I received a message from them the other day asking me to keep an eye on your movements and get you back if I find out. โ
He looked at Li Zhen again. "But I don't know what you mean. I didn't say it yet. โ
"How did they know the Dao?"
"That's the bad news." Du Qixi smiled, "Liu Yangbo's daughter, that Miss An Ruosuan in the base...... It's an inner ghost. โ
He paused deliberately to see Li Zhen's face. And Li Zhen just raised his eyebrows. There was a faint "oh". Asked: "Then I guessed right." Those things that I did at the Southern Base when I was in the Philippines. Also to find an inner ghost? โ
"Sort of. But there must be something else on my mind โ you know. At that time, it was considered fruitful, and a person was found to find out something, but more had not been sorted out in a hurry. Things are getting bigger and bigger on the Mexican side โ but you don't seem surprised at all? โ
"Huh." Li Zhen smiled.
Du Qixi looked at his expression and asked hesitantly, "Then what is your attitude?" Do you want me to contact that side? At that time, it was Miss An who planned to damage the lunar module of the space base, but she was ambushed by Dai Bingcheng......"
He recounted in detail what had happened that night, and at the end he sighed, "Look, tsk...... Dai Bingcheng said that if it was true, you would not have given that order - he did think about you. โ
Li Zhen was silent, and after a while, he raised his head to breathe in the slightly fishy sea breeze, and asked softly, "How are the two of them now?" โ
"I don't know the specifics, but they are all contacted by letter. Only in times of special urgency will the person who can do so will be used to generate electricity. Du Qixi took out a sweat-soaked cigarette case from his pocket and handed it to Li Zhen. When both of them began to swallow the clouds, they squinted their eyes and continued, "But the little marquis will definitely not be happy." Dai Bingcheng...... It seems to be quite badly injured. In fact, when I left the north, I knew that his physical condition was not very optimistic - although he was a king at that time, after all, he was old, and his peak state could only last for a few minutes. In the past, even for a few minutes, he was a god-like figure, but now, after two large-scale evolutions...... The former king-level is almost the same as the former A-rank. It's not cabbage, but it's not less. So now...... He's really getting old. I heard that I had been lying in the hospital for the other day, and I was discharged when I sent me a letter. โ
Li Zhen covered his face with smoke and nodded silently. Du Qixi finished smoking a cigarette with him, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and carefully stepped on it with his foot: "What, I feel uncomfortable listening to that sentence?" It's nothing, it's just human nature. โ
Li Zhen listened to him rustle the stones on the ground, and thought that he should change the topic. He dusted off his cigarette ash: "So what do you say now?" โ
"Wait for you to make a statement." Du Qixi said, "At this time, it is difficult to ride a tiger - the moon always has to be landed, because you have to take the Longinus spear you mentioned." But that Li is really a fake...... So what do you say? โ
"Then I'm still thinking from the past." Li Zhen thought for a while, "Just let him go to the moon." Then according to the original plan. You can tell Dai Bingcheng that he has found me, or you can tell him about my plan. But don't let more people know about it. As for where I am...... Don't say it either. โ
Du Qixi smiled: "You can't trust him?" โ
Li Zhen was silent for a while, then raised his head and sighed: "I don't know how many people can make me believe it completely." People change. โ
Du Qixi nodded in understanding, and then said, "There is one more thing." โ
"In a few days, when the power is restored, we will launch a nuclear strike on the occupied areas."
Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Well, I understand." Cover the moon landing? โ
Du Qixi silently lit another cigarette, and said slowly after a long time: "This is a small aspect. Another layer of meaning...... You can't put your hopes in it alone. Those people always had to be prepared with their hands, and they seemed more confident in their own force. They think that if the nuclear strike fails, they will have to let you go. โ
"So it's not a petty fight." Li Zhen said expressionlessly.
"Hmm. Strategic nuclear weapons will be used, at least with a million ton yield. Du Qixi looked at his face, "But after the blow...... That's the heavily polluted area. โ
Li Zhen tilted his head and smiled: "I can understand." No one is comfortable pinning their hopes on others, especially when I'm alone. Because one of my thoughts can send me to the moon with the power of the country, I am content. As for pollution...... We'll talk about that then. โ
Du Qixi sighed: "Cheng." Let's put it that way. It's time for me to go back. โ
Li Zhen waved his hand and removed the box from the tricycle. Du Qixi wiped his face with a towel again, got into the car and walked away along the same road.
Li Zhen sandwiched the box under his ribs with one hand, rested it in the gap between the two reefs, and then jumped on the big stone where Yu Qingqing was and touched her head: "If we see someone again, let's go eat something delicious." โ
Yu Qingqing looked at the box not far away, and asked curiously, "What is that?" โ
"Clothes, expensive clothes."
"Oh...... But who will you see later? โ
"A guy you know." Li Zhen smiled, "That Holy Spirit of yours." โ
As soon as this word came out, Yu Qingqing was stunned. Then she pouted: "We...... What are you doing with him? โ
Li Zhen smiled and said, "Are you afraid of him?" โ
"I ...... I don't know what to do. Yu Qingqing hugged Li Zhen's arm and bit his lip, "He made me like this......"
Li Zhen pinched her face: "Then are you afraid of me?" โ
"I'm not afraid!" Yu Qingqing smiled.
"Then don't be afraid of it." Li Zhen wiped a piece of grit from her face and looked into her eyes, "They are just species, but they say that I am the master." Since even I am not afraid, what are they afraid of what they will do? โ
Yu Qingqing nodded.
So Li Zhen jumped off the reef and walked to the beach. Then he spread his wings and flew far across the sea of floating corpses, tearing his palms and dripping blood into the water. The blood soon cleared, spreading to a wider space with the currents and winds. He waited in the void for a moment, then flew back to the sea breeze. (To be continued......)
