Chapter 25: The Pursuit
Xie Guoping naturally wouldn't really let Chen Xin go after the corpse queen alone, even if the corpse queen had suffered heavy losses one after another, but the residual strength of the corpse queen was almost at the level of three to four orders.
Of course, Chen Xin knows the strength of the corpse better than Xie Guoping, don't look at the two sniper rifles just now, but it is mainly because of the modern advanced weapons.
According to the division of combat power in the entire "Wasteland Survival Manual", all the people and evolutionaries that Chen Xin has encountered now, except for Xie Guoping, are still in the low-level stage, that is, they still belong to the category of human beings.
As long as human beings are concerned, modern weapons, even light weapons, remain extremely threatening.
What's more, the people who use weapons are still the two strongest in the team, and one of them is even higher than the queen of corpses!
In Chen Xin's opinion, the corpse queen is not only huge, but also a heavyweight power-type evolution. And judging from the previous situation where I witnessed it using auxiliary feet, its agility can also be regarded as the existence of the top level of the fifth order, not to mention that it can also fly, and its mobility is absolutely explosive!
No matter which way you look at it, the corpse queen is definitely a first-class war weapon, and the only flaw can only be that the consumption is too large, and a whole corpse nest is needed to support the consumption.
Although the corpse suffered a lot of trauma, because most of the secondary feet have been "unloaded" by two sniper rifles, the weight carried during the flight is much less than usual.
Due to the balance of these two factors, it is no slower than usual, especially when it knows that there is a life-threatening existence behind it, and it has completely ignored the problem of energy consumption.
If it weren't for the terrain of the underground passage that was not suitable for flying, the flying speed of the corpse queen at this moment could definitely reach the speed of the fierce horse.
It's just that Chen Xin is indeed the closest person to the corpse, and his mobility exceeds that of the others by a lot, and by the time Zhang Baixin and Liuzi climbed down the beam, he had already followed the corpse into the nearest underground passage.
Evolving to the third level, Chen Xin's ultimate speed can reach almost 7 meters per second, and if he activates the "Agility Enhancement" ability, he can theoretically reach a speed of 70 yards.
Of course, this is only the theoretical limit speed, and the external conditions such as terrain, wind speed, weight bearing, etc., as well as internal factors such as physical fitness, joint health, muscle fatigue, etc., must be considered in the daily environment.
But Chen Xin was still satisfied with this speed, although it was in exchange for giving up the ability to evolve other fields.
In the C35 section of the underpass, a gust of wind blew up the waste newspapers on the ground, and they floated for a few seconds before falling to the ground.
The source of this gust of wind is still rushing forward, and it is Chen Xin who inspired "agility enhancement".
"If you go in the wrong direction, you're losing a lot...... Tired...... My throat hurts......" Chen Xin looked out of breath, but he still had no intention of relaxing.
"Huh?" Out of the corner of his eye, Chen Xin saw a puddle of green juice on the side of the passage in front of him, and although he didn't stop, his eyes stayed for a few seconds.
"It seems that the direction is right," Chen Xin felt a little relieved, "This corpse queen is estimated to be physically exhausted soon, and she can't even control the body fluids of the wound." ”
All the way before, Chen Xin didn't even find a little body fluid oozing from the wound, although it may be because Chen Xin's observation ability is still at the level of ordinary people, but it is an indisputable fact that the corpse still has the strength to control the muscles near the wound, otherwise judging from the severity of the wounds of those shots, it is good that the internal organs did not fall out.
After not walking a few steps, Chen Xin found that there was more and more green liquid on the ground, and even some scattered broken body tissues began to appear.
Chen Xin didn't collect these samples, he knew that since these samples were abandoned by the corpse, they must not have much value, and either the genetic information was drained or it had been destroyed so that it could no longer be used, so it would be discarded here by the corpse.
The passage is getting wider and wider, but there are fewer and fewer lights available on the road, and in many places, if you don't get closer, Chen Xin can no longer observe the remnants on the ground with the naked eye.
Until we reached a place that resembled a large turntable, the lights had completely disappeared, and only the darkness that engulfed everything was left in front of me.
"Hey! I know you're here! Chen Xin suddenly said something to the darkness.
After waiting for a while, there was no reply, but Chen Xin did not stop, but continued, "I know you can understand what I say!" Shall we make a deal? ”
"Don't you want to keep alive?! My companion will be here in a moment, if you don't want to face that handsome old man......"
Chen Xin paused for a moment, he wasn't sure if the "old man who had blown up" could be understood, so he quickly changed his words, "If you don't want to face that powerhouse who is already 6th order, you'd better show up and talk to me right away!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xin's hairs suddenly stood up all over his body, as if he had become a frog targeted by a snake.
But this feeling came and went quickly, and for a moment, Chen Xindu thought it was his own illusion, but the sound of a dead branch breaking in the distance let him know that something had really left from here.
And just now, that unknown thing was obviously eyeing itself, but he didn't know why he left quickly.
"Could it be Captain Xie that they're coming?" Chen Xin wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered to himself.
"Of course not."
A man's voice suddenly came out of the darkness!
Chen Xin was startled, and subconsciously turned around and wanted to take a step to escape.
"Didn't you say you wanted to talk to me?" The owner of the voice came out of the darkness, and it was actually the corpse queen who had been seriously injured by Xie Guoping and Zhang Baixin before.
It's just that only half of the two wings behind the corpse are left, and Chen Xin can see it clearly, the wound on the wings that is still half left, is obviously cut off by an extremely sharp weapon.
"......" Chen Xin, who had escaped a few steps, stopped his steps and turned to look at the corpse, but he didn't know what to say.
Just now he thought that the thing that left in the distance was the corpse, and he subconsciously relaxed his vigilance, but he didn't expect that it was not it that left, Chen Xin lacked this kind of emergency training, and in the absence of psychological preparation, his instinctive thought was to escape.
Although the corpse queen answered his words and was already standing in front of him face to face at this moment, the act of escaping just now made all the words he had prepared seem so pale and weak.
Seeing that Chen Xin was silent, the corpse queen was obviously a little impatient, it didn't have much time, if it didn't also have the intention of recovering some lower physical strength, it wanted to turn around directly and continue to run forward, "Boy, didn't you just say that you wanted to make a deal with me?" ”
"Yes, I can distract my companions and make sure they can't tell the true direction of your escape." After hesitating for a moment, Chen Xin still said the words he had thought of at the beginning.
"Escape? You think I'm running away?! The corpse queen tilted her head and asked in an unusually high-pitched tone.
Chen Xin was a little silent, he knew that he was more like a person who was "running away" just now, but it didn't matter, but an indescribable irritability suddenly appeared in his heart, and the corpse in front of him was obviously beyond his imagination.
If it was just a little stronger and more outstanding, it wouldn't cause Chen Xin's surprise, but the corpse nest and corpse queen with such a rich tone and such a clear social structure made him feel very uneasy.
Because communication and socialization are the most fundamental reasons why human beings are superior to all other living beings in the old era!
In the Wasteland Survival Handbook, there is not much description of the social makeup of zombies. But for Chen Xin, who has been studying the evolution of modern biology, there is no way not to pay attention to these terrible details.
Even if a sixteenth-order zombie appears now, he won't care, because the developed research ability and production capacity of human beings can give birth to god-level legends sooner or later, even if it is a pile of potions, it can be piled up.
But if the zombies form an intelligent group society that can oppose human society, it will be a protracted disaster, and there is even a danger of extinction.
But those are still too far away, Chen Xin can only focus on the present first and find a way to survive in order to see the future.
"If you're not running away, would you be interested in staying here and having breakfast with me?" Chen Xin calculated the time, and now it was almost dawn outside, and a whole night had passed before he knew it.
"......" The pompous expression of the corpse also retracted, and she asked expressionlessly, "What do you want?" ”
"Core!" Chen Xin said without any delay.
The corpse queen was taken aback, her eyes without the whites of her eyes narrowed into a slit, stared at Chen Xin and replied, "This is impossible, since you know the core, you should know, I can't use this as a trading item!" ”
Chen Xin actually didn't know the attitude of the corpse queen towards the "core", for him, the "core" was just a prop with a very high price, which appeared on the auction roster in the later stages of the "Wasteland Survival Manual" all the year round, and it was a kind of magical prop with no price, containing very powerful energy and a gene pool of hundreds of different gene fragments!
And this magical prop is said to have been collected from the corpse's nest. Of course, Chen Xin has always suspected that this "core" is actually an organ behind the corpse, but he has never seen the picture, so he can't judge it accurately.
Chen Xin, who touched his chin, carefully observed the appearance of the corpse, and thought to himself, "It doesn't seem to be lying."
"Three blank eggs, and three energy crystals!" Chen Xin raised three fingers and said.
The corpse queen was more and more shocked, although the human in front of her mentioned the noun was not the same as what she called, but literally, it still knew that it was the same kind of thing.
One is the "source", the other is the "force", plus the "core", these are the deepest secrets of the corpse's heart, which has never been said to any other evolutionary body.
The "source" is the foundation for the creation of all evolutionary bodies, and only with the "source" can he express the different gene fragments in the "core", synthesize all kinds of zombies and corpse insects, and form any kind of evolutionary form.
"Force" means infinite power, and this crystallization is also the raw material for the creation of evolutionary bodies, and to some extent, it is actually a solid energy block that can provide a large amount of energy.
After thinking for a moment, the corpse queen stared at Chen Xin's eyes and said, "Yuan, I have two, but there is only one 'force'. ”
"I know I have 10 in my body for a long time." Of course, Chen Xin could understand what this thing was, but he couldn't let the corpse become too suspicious. If it is reasonable to just know some of the organs in its body, but it even knows what to call it, it will be a bit redundant.
"Yes, usually. But the 'source' and 'power' that I prepared just now are all used to make corpse worms, so you should have seen it. ”
Chen Xin recalled those corpse insects with fangs and flew extremely fast, and depressedly thought that he had killed three copies of "Source" and "Force".
However, if the "source" and "force" have already been used, it is worthless, and there is nothing to be sorry for.
"Okay!" Chen Xin unloaded the backpack, threw it in front of the corpse and said, "It's okay to put it inside, right?" ”
"Why should I trust you to help me?" The corpse leaned down on her upper body, which was nearly 3 meters high, and asked softly.
"It's not a gang!" Chen Xin didn't want to get too close to the corpse, so he took half a step back, looked at the corpse's face and shook his head and said, "It's just a fair deal." Moreover, you don't have a choice. I know you don't have enough time, so I didn't ask you to make these things on the spot. ”
The corpse queen nodded helplessly, it understood that the person in front of it was telling the truth, but it was still a little unwilling, "You're not afraid of the companion I told you?!" ”
"Heh, they won't believe you. And I'm not lying. I lost you because you were too cunning and I was too poor. ”
"You're the cunning!" The corpse queen said with a serious face.
Chen Xin was silent, he knew that his little abacus was not cunning at all. Speaking of which, I can only calculate the creature in front of me who doesn't have much experience in social groups, and I really want to compare it with the experts in Vanity Fair, I am afraid that if I am sold, I will help the other party count the money.
"But I'm not at a loss." The corpse queen seemed to be a little smug and said, "Among your companions, there are a few particularly 'delicious' that I can smell and my children have already gotten into, and they are ...... soon It's going to be mine! ”
Chen Xin was even more silent, he knew that the queen of the corpse was talking about Haiyan and the six sons. Admittedly, they were very good to themselves along the way, and they fought side by side just now. However, none of this is more important than keeping yourself alive.
Moreover, in the "Wasteland Survival Manual", no one else except Feng Dongqing survived! In case, Chen Xin thinks just in case! These people have survived, and completely changing the plot of the wasteland world that he is familiar with will most likely make him miss out on all the opportunities to improve his strength in the next series.
Chen Xin could never tolerate such a thing, so he could only try his best to do something to correct it.
Because, he wants to live!
