Chapter 25: Relapse
Li Mingxian and Yuzi, who were hiding in the bushes, couldn't help but let out an exclamation after seeing Cao Yin wielding the blood whip, they didn't expect that the thin young man in front of them actually had such terrifying strength, even if he held a sharp blade, if he didn't have a strong arm strength, it was impossible to cut off hard bones as easily as him.
Cao Yin didn't think much about it before wielding the blood whip, when he saw the dark red blood flowing like a snake coiling around his hand, he subconsciously threw it out as a whip, but he didn't expect that the dark red blood flow really had the form of a long whip and the power of a sharp blade, and effortlessly eliminated all the zombies in front of him.
Cao Yin also basically understood the use of "Shadow Blood", there are two forms of Shadow Blood, but the activation conditions are the same, you need to create a fresh wound in yourself, so that the blood flowing in your body is exposed to the air, and if you want to activate it again after the ability is removed, you must create another new wound.
One of the forms of Shadow Blood is the red mist that fills the body with blood, and the embodiment of Shadow Blood, "Red Butterfly", can only move within the range of this blood mist, if there is an injured awakened person in the blood mist, Red Butterfly can approach him and complete the ability to refine the memory by touching the blood of his wound.
However, this process will cause Cao Yin to have a severe headache, and the sense of rejection in Cao Yin's heart will hinder the refining process and even fail, if you want to start again, you must wait for the other party to have a new wound.
But Cao Yin now has the "Doom Ring", in the process of refining the ability, as long as he wears the Doom Ring, the headache will disappear, and he will be able to successfully complete the refining of the blood deformity trait, and then take off the ring after completing the ability replication, and then feel the headache returned from the ring at that time, but it will not affect the absorption of the blood deformity trait.
The second form of the Shadow Blood, that is, the Blood Deformity trait that uses the Refined Memory, but unlike the original Ability Awakener, the refined Blood Aberrant trait will not be reflected in Cao Yin itself, but into the blood in Cao Yin's body, and the dark red blood activated by the "Shadow Blood" is the true initiator of the ability.
As the host of the "Shadow Blood", Cao Yin can indirectly use the plagiarized ability by controlling the blood under the influence of the "Shadow Blood", as of now, the Shadow Blood can only coil around Cao Yin's hand in the form of blood flow, and when the blood mist envelops the surroundings, the red butterfly can also use the plagiarized ability in the blood mist field in human form.
But no matter what form of Shadow Blood it is, using it for a long time or using it beyond the limit will cause very serious side effects on Cao Yin's body.
Cao Yin was in a coma after overloading when he was fighting Chen Hongying, so this time, Cao Yin paid great attention to the changes in the state of his body and mind, once he had a slight discomfort, he must not force himself to focus on his ability to launch, God knows what the consequences will be if the side effects accumulate too much.
In order not to dig his own grave, Cao Yin only used the "Blood Devouring Razor" three times this time to block the attacking zombies, the blood-entangled hand knife used twice to force it, and the blood whip blade used to use it the third time.
Soon after wielding the blood whip, Cao Yin clearly felt that the lightheadedness was gradually coming, and the sky and the earth began to tilt and tilt in the counterclockwise direction constantly, he knew that this was a symptom of the beginning of side effects, and he must not force himself to activate his ability anymore, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
There was also a zombie near Cao Yin, which was activated by Cao Yin's bloody qi and became furious and excited, roaring in a low voice, while sticking out its rotten arm and rushing towards Cao Yin.
The zombie opened its mouth wide to bite its prey, and because its lips had rotted and shrunk, the dark purple gum flesh and two rows of blackened teeth were exposed, making it look very hideous.
Cao Yin was empty-handed, and he didn't carry any weapons that could slash zombies, but his intuition told him that if he activated the blood of the shadow again, he would be in danger of falling unconscious, and then he would really become a piece of meat on the chopping board, so Cao Yin gave up killing the last zombie and began to retreat.
But the zombie rushed towards Cao Yin relentlessly, and was about to touch him soon, Cao Yin sighed, raised his foot and kicked the zombie's stomach hard, after the zombie was kicked down, he got up from the ground after a few twists, although the kick was heavy, but it was not enough to kill it.
"What the hell is this guy doing?" Yuzi covered his wounds, and when he saw that Cao Yin no longer used the killer weapon just now, he felt very puzzled, "The move just now is so powerful, but now it is not used, and it has been changed to kicking with a foot, does it work, do you have to blow its head!" ”
In the face of the zombies, Cao Yin kicked a few more times, but the kick on the zombie's torso was useless, if you want to completely kill the zombie, you must destroy its brain, otherwise the zombie can get up like a tumbler as many feet as you kick.
"Cao Yin, go on!" Li Mingxian took out a pistol from his waist, then threw it next to Cao Yin, and said, "Leave that group of zombies alone, use a gun to get rid of it first!" ”
"Aren't you afraid that the gunshots will attract other zombies?" Cao Yin bent down and picked up the pistol, and suddenly felt that the symptoms of the world were getting stronger and stronger, and now he was top-heavy, and the soles of his feet were fluttering, like stepping on a ball of cotton, this feeling had happened more than a year ago, so Cao Yin now had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Damn, how can the side effects be so strong, it's obviously already ......" Cao Yin staggered back, and the zombie who got up from the ground followed him closely, and would pounce again at any time.
"That guy Cao Yin looks a little wrong," Li Mingxian muttered, "his steps are swaying, and his movements and reactions have slowed down. ”
"It's a bit like a feeling of being drunk," Yuzi looked at Cao Yin, suddenly slapped his palm, and said with a look of sudden realization, "No wonder Cao Yin doesn't use a knife and a blood whip now, it shouldn't be used, this trick is estimated to bring a lot of burden to the body, and this kid looks like he can't bear it." ”
"Well, that makes sense," Li Mingxian said, "the means he just showed are indeed amazing"
Yuzi hurriedly shouted: "Don't shoot yet, find a way to kick the zombie down, and then stomp on its chest so that it can't get up!" ”
Yuzi and Li Mingxian exchanged glances, and Li Mingxian said: "Looking at his appearance, it shouldn't be able to be done, I'll solve it." ”
Li Mingxian took out a large bag of hemostatic cotton from the backpack on the ground, then got out of the bushes and ran towards Cao Yin.
Cao Yin grabbed the two wrists of the zombie with both hands, the zombie struggled hard, stretched out its neck, and the two rows of teeth made a "da-da-da" oozing sound one by one, and the stench from its mouth almost stunned Cao Yin, Cao Yin held his breath, and raised his leg again to kick the zombie's stomach.
The zombie staggered backwards and fell, and after Cao Yin let go of the zombie with both hands, he didn't stand firm because of his dizziness, and he also fell on the lawn after taking a few steps back.
Li Mingxian rushed over at this time, he didn't say a word, while the zombie who fell to the ground had not yet gotten up, he raised his right foot and stomped on its neck, and then pressed the zombie's chest, while the zombie was subdued, he forced the whole bag of hemostatic cotton into its mouth.
"Cao Yin, gun!" Li Mingxian stretched out his hand towards Cao Yin, although Cao Yin was in a very bad state, he gritted his teeth and insisted on turning over and getting up, picked up the pistol and handed it to him.
Li Mingxian skillfully loaded the bullet, and then inserted the muzzle deeply into the hemostatic cotton in the zombie's mouth, the muzzle of the gun tilted upwards and pointed at the zombie's brain, after pulling the trigger, the muzzle only made a muffled sound that was not too big, and the back of the zombie's head immediately burst out of a pool of black blood, and the whole body quickly stopped moving.
"That's it," Li Mingxian put the pistol back into the holster on his waist, then glanced at Cao Yin, and said, "What's wrong with you, are you not feeling well?" ”
Yuzi poked his head out of the bushes and sneered: "Hehe, is the eldest aunt here?" ”
"It's okay, I don't have anything to ......" Cao Yin covered his head, and at this time tinnitus also appeared, and the buzzing sound made Cao Yin have no energy to organize the language, "It's probably ability...... Overused. ”
"I've never seen a situation where blood deformity traits can be overused before," Li Mingxian said, "Go back and let the doctor take a good look at you, measure the adaptability rate and load rate of your blood deformity traits, and see that you are really choking like this." ”
"Fit rate, and load rate?" Cao Yin tilted his head and asked, "The adaptability rate of blood deformity traits, I have heard Li Yehua talk about it before, as long as the adaptation rate reaches the standard, it will not be corpse changed, but what is the load rate?" ”
Li Mingxian said: "Now is not the time to discuss this, that group of zombies will soon come this way, although they can't see, but their sense of smell and hearing is excellent, just like rabbits in the wilderness, sharks in the sea, we will be targeted sooner or later if we stay here, now that there is a shortage of ammunition, we have no ability to deal with the group of corpses." ”
"By the way, Brother Xian went around the rear to sneak attack the enemy's snipers, and there is no news yet!" Hazuko took out the walkie-talkie and tried to contact Brother Hyun.
"I haven't heard back for so long, shouldn't I be killed by the other party?" Cao Yin rubbed his temples and muttered quietly.
Li Mingxian said: "There is no point in guessing here, let's go and confirm what the situation is on Brother Xian's side before retreating, if he is killed by the enemy, it will be a big loss for our organization." ”
"Brother Xian, I'm Yuzi, have you done it here?" Feather called into the walkie-talkie, her swarthy and emaciated face full of anxiety.
After a while, there was a rapid and heavy wheezing sound from the walkie-talkie, listening to the voice was indeed Jiang Xian's thick and majestic voice, listening to that voice, Cao Yin knew that the other party must have fallen into a disadvantageous situation.
"Is it Yuzi, damn it, that sniper is so cunning!" Jiang Xian said, "He arranged a broadsword mine in the corridor, I was accidentally hit, my right leg is gone, and now the guy is chasing me!" ”
"Ahh Where are you now, we are here to support you! Yuzi hurriedly said.
"I'm in the basement, in the basement of the administration building!" Jiang Xian said, "The basement here can be locked, God forbid, this guy can't do anything about me for the time being!" ”
"Brother Xian, don't move around there, save your physical strength," Li Mingxian said calmly, "We grabbed the airdrop supplies, and there are first-aid supplies in the backpack, so I'm here to support you." ”
"No problem, but beware of that guy," Jiang Xian said, "He has a strong anti-reconnaissance ability, maybe he has already laid a trap on your way, you must be careful!" ”
Li Mingxian glanced at Cao Yin, then at Yuzi, and said: "Let's put the airdrop materials in the bushes first, and then come over to get them when the other party is solved, otherwise it will become a burden in the event of a battle, and now we only need to bring some first-aid tools to Brother Xian to stop bleeding." ”
"Listen to you," Yuzi hung the walkie-talkie on his waist and said, "Let's hurry up, that sniper may be able to blast the method of unlocking, and then Brother Xian will be in danger!" ”
Cao Yin shook his head and said, "What if the other party has other people lurking nearby, they must know that we have hidden the airdrop materials here, and if we leave the airdrop alone, they may be taken away." ”
"The grass and mud horses, is it important to be a virtuous brother or is it important to have materials!" Yuzi grabbed Cao Yin's collar and shouted angrily, "Now let's give priority to rescuing Brother Xian, and the airdrop materials will be done according to what Ming Xian said!" ”
"No, yours can be put here, but this bag can't work, it must be by my side at all times," Cao Yin clenched the backpack strap in front of him and said coldly, "This is a zombie vaccine, there are 72 in total, all of them are inside, I will definitely not drop it!" ”
Li Mingxian said indifferently: "I just proposed, you can do it, but you must follow my footsteps later, since the other party has a broadsword mine, if you want to live, you have to put your tricks brighter, pay special attention to the grass on both sides of the road, if you find filaments or red light, you must tell me, it is an explosive tripping device." ”
