Chapter 6: The Blade and the Eagle Eye
"What do you mean," Lin Xiao looked at Wu Zong in surprise: "Someone is manipulating this disaster behind his back?"
"But I don't have evidence, and I can't think of anyone who has the ability to make such a world-destroying move" Wu Zong shook his head: "I'm just guessing. β
As he spoke, Wu Zong put aside the strengthening core, tied the big arm of his left hand with a sleeve of his school uniform, and then began to pat the bend of his arm with his right hand.
"You want to inject this?" Qiqi frowned.
"That's right," looking at the veins that gradually came out, Wu Zong picked up the pale gray strengthening core.
Qiqi wanted to stop but didn't know how to speak, it was true that if this kind of thing could bring reinforcement and amplification as Wu Zong said, then there would be no harm in injecting it, but somehow, there was always a feeling of uneasiness in her heart.
She looked a little worried: "Is this injection really not harmful to the body?" β
"Yes, there must be, how can there be a free lunch in the world," Wu Zong pointed the needle at his vein: "It's just that we don't know for the time being." β
With that, he plunged the needle into the vein with his right hand, and then, the original pale gray strengthening core quickly dimmed, turning black at a speed visible to the naked eye like burnt wood.
As Wu Zong pulled out the needle, a huge feeling of dizziness rushed into his brain in an instant, as if he was sitting on a swivel chair and was turned around one hundred and eighty times, the whole world began to rotate and twist rapidly, Wu Zong hurriedly closed his eyes, but his body still fell to the ground with a clatter.
"Ah Zong!" Qi Qi looked at Wu Zong hitting his head on the ground, startled, and nervously held up Wu Zong's head: "Ah Zong, what's wrong with you." β
Wu Zong wanted to comfort him, but he couldn't speak, he knew that he would vomit as soon as he opened his mouth, he pressed his tongue tightly against the roof of his mouth, pulled out a hand and groped for Qiqi's arm and patted it to show that he was fine.
It took five minutes for Wu Zong to dare to open his eyes slowly, and the dizziness came and went quickly, and soon Wu Zong sat up straight again, panting heavily, and a small light blue needle eye in the bend of his arm was inconspicuous if he didn't look carefully.
"How's it going?" asked Lin Xiao.
"I'm fine," Wu Zong stood up: "But I don't know what my ability is, you stay away from me and I'll try." β
"The most basic function of this enhanced core is to improve the strength and physical strength of your body, and the additional abilities are highly uncertain, in other words, you don't know where you have been strengthened until you use your abilities, you may grow two heads, or you may grow a pair of wings, you may breathe fire or become invisible. As he spoke, Wu Zong moved his wrists and ankles: "Normally, ability will only appear when you are in a major crisis. β
But Wu Zong has the experience of the previous life, and he is ready to test whether his ability will be the same as the previous life. He moved his shoulders a little, then his shoulder blades tensed, from his upper arms, his muscles tightened all the way to his fingertips, and then suddenly spread his palms!
Zheng!
With a slight golden sound, a thin and sharp metal blade two fingers wide and forty centimeters long pierced out from Wu Zong's wrist!
"Beautiful!" Wu Zong, who had always been calm, couldn't help but shout in a low voice.
Although this ability is a little different from his own steel claw in the previous life, it is much the same, Wu Zong still has a headache If he obtains a different ability, he will have to re-cooperate and train new fighting skills, but now it seems that he doesn't need it.
Then he did the same, using the short blade of his left wrist as well.
"Fuck," Lin Xiao looked at the sharp short blade that 'grew' from Wu Zong's wrist, and burst into a foul mouth in surprise: "This is too fucking sci-fi." β
Brush!
Wu Zong withdrew the short blade: "This kind of thing Dr. Evans calls 'genetic metal', it is very hard, at least he has not found a way to break this metal, or all the metal types known to mankind are not as hard as it." β
"But the only drawback is that it can't leave my body," Wu Zong was a little helpless: "Once it leaves my body, it will turn into a puddle of metallic liquid like mercury." β
"Ah Zong," Qi Qi looked at him with a firm look: "Give me that one." β
"No," Wu Zong vetoed.
Wu Zong made up his mind from the moment he was reborn, saying that he couldn't let Qiqi take any more adventures with him. He knows very well that even if he is reborn, even if he becomes the first batch of strengthened people in the world, even if he can predict the direction of some people and things, but for the beginning of exploring this catastrophe, it is like using a mantis arm as a car, and he will retake this road nine times out of ten like the previous life, but Wu Zong still embarked on this road without hesitation, he only hopes to be able to get closer to the truth and go a little further.
He knew that if he couldn't end this catastrophe, then no matter how strong he was, he would just be an ant to survive in the last days, and eventually he would die, and Qiqi would also die.
He is willing to exchange his life for Qiqi's life.
Qiqi still wanted to speak, but was blocked by Wu Zong's words: "Lin Xiao, have you thought about it?" β
Lin Xiao took over the strengthening core almost without thinking about it, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to inject himself.
Wu Zong held Lin Xiao's hand and stared at Lin Xiao's eyes: "Let's say it first, I don't know what will happen in the future, the only thing I know is that this kind of enhancement is by no means a simple sense of becoming stronger, accepting this almost curse-like enhancement means accepting everything it brings you at the same time." β
Wu Zong pointed to Hu Jia, who was lying on the ground and was already stiff, and said word by word: "I want you to guarantee that this situation will never be the last. β
"Let me ask you again, have you thought about it?"
Wu Zong wanted to say something more, but Lin Xiao grabbed the strengthened nuclear and stopped Wu Zong: "No need to say more, I don't want to know what the price is." β
He was afraid that he would lose this courage when he learned the price.
"Whoever instigates them will not fucking carry a handle!" Lin Xiao shook off Wu Zong's hand and plunged the weird needle into the vein as if he were ruthless, and then planted himself on the ground exactly like Wu Zong.
After a full five minutes, Lin Xiao eased up and slowly opened his eyes.
Wu Zong clearly saw that Lin Xiao's pupils appeared in a pale yellow ring, as sharp as an eagle falcon.
"I seem to be able to see clearly!" Lin Xiao took off his glasses in surprise, everything in front of him was so clear.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement, Lin Xiao, who feels new to everything in front of him, has exactly the same ability as Lin Xiao in the previous life.
'Of course you can see clearly,' Wu Zong thought of 'His Majesty's Eagle' with relief in his heart.
Wu Zong turned around and picked up the large schoolbag under his desk, took out a delicate military-crossbow from it and handed it to Lin Xiao: "Your ability happens to be something I have seen, I will teach you." β
Saying that, he taught Lin Xiao to put the pitch-black steel-crossbow arrow on the buckle spring, and took Lin Xiao close to the window: "Do you see that zombie?" β
Lin Xiao followed the direction of Wu Zong's finger and saw a zombie biting a corpse on the ground, and he couldn't help but sweat a little in his palms.
"See," Lin Xiao nodded.
"Shoot it in the head," Mr. Wu said.
"What?" Lin Xiao was just about to aim, but when he heard this, he put down his crossbow arrow in confusion: "Didn't you say that the skulls of the first batch of zombies after the mutation were so hard that they couldn't even penetrate the pistol? That's why you taught me to pierce my jaw to destroy my brain." β
"You can," Wu Zong looked at Lin Xiao with conviction: "If you are sure to throw it accurately, the flying knife can nail through its skull." β
"I'm not sure," Lin Xiao pouted: "I'd better use a crossbow." β
"Take a deep breath, keep the three points and one line, stabilize the crosshairs, and slow down your breathing," Wu Zong said slowly.
Lin Xiao did it step by step, and gradually found that his heartbeat seemed to slow down.
"Wu Zong," Lin Xiao said as he adjusted his breathing, "You care too much about Qiqi." β
He knew that Qi Qi was sitting far away angrily, so he whispered to Wu Zong: "I care that you don't even know Qi Qi's temperament before me." β
"What do you mean. Wu Zong wondered.
"I know you're protecting her, but according to her stubborn temper, she won't live alone if you die. β
After speaking, Lin Xiao's heartbeat felt that his heartbeat rate had dropped to the minimum, and he was surprised to find that everything in front of him had turned into slow motionβthe slowly falling snowflakes, the people running with their mouths wide open, and the zombies twisting their heads by tearing off a piece of flesh and skin, they were moving slowly, like insects falling into the gel.
Boom!
Pulling the trigger, the steel-crossbow bolt flew out with a whistling sound, and then burst into flames in the air, nailing through the zombie's head in the blink of an eye, and plunging into the earth with a bloody arrow, leaving only half a tail to tremble slightly outside.
It was so fast that Lin Xiao, who even felt that everything was slowing down, couldn't keep up with the arrow.
The zombie had fallen to the ground even with its mouth open.
"I'll let the arrows catch fire?" Lin Xiao closed the window and was overjoyed.
Wu Zong waved his hand: "You misunderstood, it was the initial velocity of your arrow that was too high, which caused the patent leather and air friction of the arrow to catch fire." β
"But don't worry, the melting point of steel is about fifteen hundred degrees, and you don't have to worry about melting before you hit anyone because it's too fast. β
"This is my ability?" Lin Xiao looked at his hands and smirked: "Let the initial speed of the crossbow arrow be faster? Do you see it? It catches fire? It must be at least twice the speed of sound or even higher! Which arrow I shot just now is faster than a supersonic plane!"
"What you said is just one of the weakest attributes of your ability" Wu Zong tried to calm down the excited Lin Xiao: "First of all, when your heart pacing rate reaches a valley, everything in your field of vision will slow down; secondly, you said that you can make the initial speed of the shot a lot faster, I haven't tested it, I don't know how many times, but it seems that you should throw a knife faster than a bullet; the last and most important one, your subconscious will find the most vulnerable point of an object." β
"It doesn't sound as powerful as the first two," Lin Xiao smacked his lips.
"You'll know how practical this thing is in the future," Wu Zong packed his backpack: "Before we go back, we have to go to the dormitory to see if we can save someone." β
But immediately a headache was in front of him-
Qi Qi was sulking.
