Chapter 33: Transformation, Death, and Constant Change→_→ Waves
On the ninth day after his arrival, Bai Lang walked alone on the road, through the depths of the dangerous city.
Without the support of the garbage guy and Voldemort, the pressure on him to survive has increased dramatically. Originally, there were seven people in a group, and without considering the specific strength, the number of people alone could deter many beasts. Now after the order, the concealment technology is not in place, and it is more like a walking takeaway, which is included in the alternative menu by many monsters.
On the other hand, Bai Lang, who has a large amount of 'burning blood', accumulates to the first pot of gold and completes the small goal ahead of schedule. But he knew that he would inevitably be investigated and tracked by the buyer, the seller, and a third party who ate black at the same time.
To avoid the revenge of the Demon Hunter and the sneak attacker who could appear at any time. He chose a different route than when he came.
In the past, there were old drivers who led the way, did not hesitate, did not delay, avoided danger, took shortcuts, and spent two days to reach the depths of the city; Now Bai Lang is detouring long distances, unfamiliar with the ground, constantly provoking monsters, hiding and hiding, fighting and killing, and the speed naturally slows down.
According to the map, it will take another two or three days to return to the camp. If you stay before the invasion of hell, it is nothing more than two hours + four yuan, and you can save another eight cents if you have a bus card.
…
In the past two days, under the pressure of survival, he has learned and used various knowledge and skills to quickly adapt to the environment.
And the 'subhuman blood' has brought about a spiritual transformation, making his style of acting unconsciously deflected, and gradually became fearless, exposing the true nature of the person as his name***).
is no longer a low-key and conservative rush, but brave and diligent, fighting with provocative monsters along the way.
At first he had to run and run again...... Slowly learn to fight back, lead to trouble, parkour in buildings, and fight black guns...... Then, he took the initiative to ambush the lone monsters, sneak attacks, and stuffy sticks...... In the end, he gradually lost his mind, began to provoke and when escaping from the pursuit of monsters, he used his body as bait, and after getting rid of most of the monsters, he boldly introduced the lone monster into the trap prepared in advance, and broke them individually. Then the offense and defense changed positions, desperately fought back, and finally succeeded in killing it.
Bai Lang, who is getting more and more experienced, is not too seriously injured even after killing monsters.
And this kind of monster territory, under unprecedented mental pressure, play them around, and then introduce them into the trap, putting aside all scruples and fighting with all their might...... No matter the blood is swelling, the heart is beating wildly, and the soul is trembling on the line of life and death? Or the inexplicable satisfaction he gets after killing the monster, he can't stop being fascinated.
…
If ordinary people live day after day, in a state of muddy numbness, gradually losing color and hope; So when he experienced life and death again and again, the diaphragm was torn by external forces, and the picture scroll of life instantly became colorful!
Once experienced, you can never forget it.
So Bai Lang, who has 'subhuman blood' at the bottom, has all the shackles in his heart, and begins to enjoy and even deliberately pursue the stimulation between life and death, feeling the sublimation of his soul.
And this kind of thing is really addictive!
After the 'Hunter Leader', he did not give up on his own initiative and sent him to death. On the contrary, after succeeding again and again, I tasted the sweetness, and I couldn't hold back that restless heart more and more.
……
When the blood moon comes, Bai Lang skillfully chooses a residential building, clears the threat, and builds a 'safe house'. Lying on the big bed and sleeping in clothes, tossing and turning, and finally insomnia!
The full and exciting daytime experience made his eyes bloodshot, and he couldn't calm down. With nothing to do, he suddenly pulled out a packet of 'burning blood' and stared at it curiously.
In the dead of night, isolated and in the depths of the dangerous city, during the day, he witnessed the 'truth' and comprehended the true meaning of life in the frenzied battle.
Bai Lang was extremely energetic at the moment, and when he saw the burning blood, he suddenly became ready to move. In the end, driven by the heart of death, he twisted up a little 'green crystal' and licked it lightly, the taste was sweet and a little bitter?
…
Soon, the astringency quickly spread to the base of the tongue and down the throat into the stomach. Within a few minutes, Bai Lang felt his heart beating faster and faster, and his blood seemed to start to get hot, and then a force surged out of his body.
Looking down at the slightly protruding blood vessels, as well as the involuntarily bulging and tense muscles, Bai Lang was sure that this was not an 'illusion'!
"Whew... Whew......"
His breathing became rapid, his body was hot, and he felt stronger and more powerful than he had been fighting during the day. If you touch that monster again, it's as if you can blast it with your fist!
He opened the properties panel, and sure enough, there was a change:
[Inferior Burning Blood Temporary Enhancement: Strength 5.3 (+0.2), Agility 5.2 (+0.1), Stamina 5.4 (+0.2)]
It works!
…
Bai Lang's sanity was not affected, he clearly felt the changes in his body, and he had a deeper understanding of the potion. At the same time, I also have a new idea of the 'burning blood' at hand, these are all primitive stimulants!
The reinforcement lasted for a short time, and then I felt my body being hollowed out and became tired. However, the pressure and negative emotions in my heart are also excluded. Can a small amount of 'burning blood' still relieve stress?
But none of this can stop Bai Lang's research heart, and he poured out a little 'burning blood', where is the limit of his reason if he wants to challenge himself?
Tossed like this for most of the night, his body couldn't bear it first, and he fell asleep tiredly.
By the time he woke up again, his watch had reached 12 noon, his stomach was even more hungry, and he was running out of food.
…
On the road again, it is the third day of solitary travel. Bai Lang walked along one of the streets marked on the ground and looked left and right at the signboards of the shops.
He ate the last of his dry food, and he was thinking about it.
There are many shops on this street, and it is best to pick up some garbage with a long shelf life, such as canned food, canned food; If you can't find it, you'll have to try the 'mutant beast'.
Monsters are usually poisonous, and the undead are spoiled and rotten, and skeletons can only be stewed, but some mutant beasts can theoretically be used, and he has seen people eat them when he was in camp. However, I am inexperienced and can't tell which ones are edible?
"No ...... again"
Bai Lang's expression showed a hint of determination, and he still had a hole card that he didn't want to use, that is, 'I eat myself'!
This is a unique talent of the subhuman, but Bai Lang is very resistant, and he is not Hannibal.
Suddenly!
He heard the noise, stopped, and sat down on the front of a scrapped car to rest. Pull out a bottle of water from the side of your backpack. Begin to drink, and with the corner of your eye, look behind you.
In a pile of ruins not far away, several sneaky figures were shaking restlessly. They hide and secretly observe themselves.
Bai Lang stared at them for a while, but didn't take it to heart, but relaxed and continued to drink water and rest, and said secretly in his heart: It's coming! Little brother.
……
Ever since he had been on his way early the previous morning, he had found himself targeted by four Hell Monsters. It was a few monsters who passed by him that evening and had a one-sided relationship.
By flipping through the Safety Manual provided by the camp, Bai Lang determined that their appearance was highly similar to that of the 'Blade Demon', with blade-like spikes growing on their backs. But he is even shorter and weaker, and his rickety body looks like that of a schoolboy. The epidermis has a large number of red magic lines, and there are some characteristics of the 'Sinking Demon'.
He boldly guessed that this was a group of 'hybrids' who had been abandoned and driven by the tribe. In the heart of the city, it is at the bottom of the food chain. Poverty, emaciation, vigilance, malnutrition......
…
At the beginning, Bai Lang's mentality had not yet transformed. When he found these monsters behind him, he was startled, and thought that they would take revenge and treat himself as a new prey, and he was very panicked.
He shot several times in an attempt to intimidate and drive away the monsters. However, they are cunning and alert, far away, and good at hiding, agile to dodge bullets. After that, he became more sneaky and cautious, hiding deeper, but he always refused to give up on himself.
Brother Lang climbed over walls, detours, and even parkour on the roof many times, using the structure of residential buildings to get out, just to get rid of them.
The city is a big labyrinth, he uses human wisdom, various operations are becoming more and more proficient, and his courage is constantly growing, he has escaped many predators, and even completed the counter-killing. But he still couldn't get rid of these four half-blood monsters.
Every time I get rid of them, within a few hours, they will appear behind me again, ghostly and sneaky. But they always keep their distance and never take the initiative to attack.
…
Later, Brother Lang was invincible, and finally understood that they persevered in following themselves, like scavenging hyenas or vultures that follow the lions on the grassland. Pick up all kinds of monsters you hunt and eat.
In the past, they hunted a powerful monster at a great cost. Once seriously injured, it will become a drag on your companions, or even be abandoned. However, at the bottom of the food chain, they are all outliers who are excluded by the ethnic group, and they have to work together to survive, so life is difficult.
It is not easy for monsters to survive in this city, they have no jobs in exchange for a stable income, and they do not have refrigerators to store food. If you want to survive, you have to fight every day, and once you get sick or seriously injured, you can only be eliminated naturally.
But now it is different, the white waves are like a ray of sunshine in the darkness, bringing them infinite hope. Brother Lang took the initiative to kill monsters, did not eat corpses, and did not receive remuneration, he can be called the savior of the 'Half-Blood Blade Demon'!
…
After figuring out this problem, Bai Lang also continued to become stronger, and no longer took these low-level weak chickens in his eyes.
He once pretended to rest defenselessly, and opened the door to fish and enforce the law, leaving a chance for these monsters to sneak attack, and waited for the counterattack as bait.
However, these monsters were very restrained, not only did they not sneak attack, but they actually took the initiative to stay around him, expelling those brainless animals, and standing guard for him. almost didn't wait for Bai Lang to die.
When he looked back impatiently, the monsters fled in fright, and then continued behind him, waiting to pick up the bargain.
By now, Bai Lang has become accustomed to this group of small garbage. The two sides did not communicate, but maintained a tacit relationship. The white waves provide food, and they stand guard for themselves, and even take the initiative to explore the way, avoid the monster community, and prompt warnings.
Although these monsters have low combat effectiveness, they are very good at pathfinding and early warning. (Actually, they are just going to sift through the food, which ones are too large to be defeated, and which ones are just right, and then guide the White Wave Beast to go on a killing spree.) )
