Chapter 55: Three Choices

The abandoned city covers a large area, and unlike the H913 gathering place, the abandoned city does not have as many broken walls and ruins as the H913 gathering place, but has a flat field. On the top of the fields are vines with dense gray-white leaves.

This plant is one of the few vines in the wilderness that can survive in the presence of radiant sunlight. Vines have large and juicy rhizomes, and although the rhizomes buried deep in the ground can be used as food, they also contain a lot of radiation, and eating too much of it will produce mutated tissue.

There was a tumultuous noise at the end of the field, and a group of ragged residents of the ruined city emerged from the low, rudimentary tents at the edge of the field and rushed towards where Luo stood.

There were even children in the crowd who could barely hold hoes, which reminded Lowe of the wilderness mob.

"Outsider, you killed our guardian!"

"Outsiders, get out of our homeland!"

"Damn outsider, you robber!"

……

Luo's brow furrowed slightly, he felt that it shouldn't be the scene in front of him, it should be those roaring parapowers rushing towards him, at least soldiers with well-armed weapons.

This group of extremely malnourished, yellow-skinned, and even mutated tissue is armed with their own weapons.

Worn hoes, dirty brooms, and even vines that have been improvised from the ground.

And those who have bloated mutated tissues on their bodies should not be driven out of the gathering place? Why are you still allowed to stay in the ruined city? Don't these people know that mutants are contagious?

Lowe was silent, feeling as if he really should leave. For these residents of the ruined city who were full of anger and roared in front of them, Luo was really too powerful.

So strong that he probably shouldn't be here.

"I'm looking for Renzi, Renzi Stuart."

Lowe's voice was soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing the land that was out of step with the tone of the wilderness.

As Law said the name, the roaring inhabitants across from him fell silent, and even the children, who were not yet fully sensible, obediently shut their mouths.

I don't know how long later, a child with a thin body trembling with half a brick in his hand suddenly asked the silent Luo.

"Are you here to kill Grandpa Renzi?"

As the child spoke, the residents who were huddled around all looked at Luo, with a hint of fear and a faint expectation.

Luo looked at the child, and from the other party's frightened and inexplicable persistent gaze, Luo seemed to see himself who had once carried the baby girl on his back.

"I'm coming to him to get some stuff back."

Lowe whispered back to the child who asked him, and did not say that he was going to get Renzi's head back.

"Grandpa Renzi is in the house over there."

Luo followed the direction the child pointed and saw a crumbling wooden house.

The crowd dispersed, and the residents, who had just been screaming desperately, slowly dispersed into the land, leaving Luo alone to stand under the concrete walls of the ruined city, which had experienced more than half a century of wind and frost.

Lowe walked slowly to the wooden house at the end of the road, and from the low, shabby tents on either side of the road, he could even hear the cry of a baby.

How did they escape the radiation rain the day before yesterday? Is it just these tents that crumble to pieces at the slightest touch? And these fragile children, are they just exposed to the rain curtain full of radiation?

Lowe didn't think any further, for he was already standing at the door of the hut.

"Please come in, Adept."

An old voice came from inside the wooden house, and there was a vicissitudes in the voice, and there was a trace of uninhibited and gradually ending majesty.

Lowe's mind was pulled back to reality by the voice.

His body began to tremble lightly again, this time not entirely as a warm-up for his body to be more flexible, but also with the irrepressible excitement of his instinct.

On the huge screen in front of Heidi, the numbers jumped faster.

Her lips pursed, her eyes unblinking, staring at the rapidly changing numbers.

The mystery of reshaping genes is about to appear, right?

If it can finally be revealed, Heidi's research will make a breakthrough, even if it is worth paying more for the genetic drug stock solution!

Luo hesitated, and under the strong instinct of instinct, he slowly pushed open the hidden door of the wooden house.

The space inside the wooden house is not large, and it is even a bit cramped.

The house was filled with rotting broken bones, which were piled up on top of each other, almost forming a mountain of bones. These are the last vestiges of the decaying mutated creatures of the wilderness.

An old man with long cheeks and a strange grin, almost half of his face, was sitting next to the mountain of bones, piecing together broken bones of different lengths into a strange creature body shape.

From time to time, strips of saliva flowed from the corners of the old man's mouth, dripping on the ground, and half of the corners of his mouth were soaked pink and white because of the unstoppable saliva, which looked extremely disgusting.

After the old man had pieced together the last broken bone, the creature he had pieced together slowly struggled to its feet, staggered out of the door, and walked towards the concrete wall outside the ruined city.

Lowe remembered the pack of hyenas when he first entered the ruined city, so rotting that only a skeleton remained.

"There are fewer and fewer bones of mutated creatures in the wilderness, and the ruined city must be coming to an end, right? Cleaner. ”

After the old man put the few broken bones scattered in front of him back to the bone mountain behind him, he looked up at Luo who was standing at the door, as if he wanted to invite Luo to sit over.

Lowe's black pupils flickered rapidly.

From the process of making a bone beast from broken bones just now, Luo thought of a person.

The chief who can drive the mob of the wilderness.

The chief can drive the mob of the wilderness who don't know if there is self-consciousness or not, and this lord named Renzi Stuart directly drives the broken bones!

Psychic abilities!

Didn't Heidi say his ability was degraded?

"My abilities have indeed degraded, young man, please take a seat."

Renzi Stuart, the former ruler of the Cardivan family, seemed to be able to see through Lowe's thoughts, and whispered.

Luo sat across from the old man.

"I feel her breath from your silver skin, is she unwilling to come and take my head herself? Or would you rather be punished than see me again? ”

Renzi stared into Lowe's eyes, his words filled with sadness, as if he were speaking to someone else who wasn't here.

The old man's dry but still bright eyes appeared on the huge screen in front of Heidi, and even the bloodshot lines in his eyes were clearly visible.

Heidi stood silently, meeting her eyes on the screen, her lips pursed even tighter.

She suddenly reached out and tapped on the screen.

The old man's eyes vanished, and the screen was once again covered with rapidly changing numbers.

"You're not the cleaner I expected, young man. I feel the craving in your body, your instincts are stirring, do you want to take my head, or do you want to take my powers, or compromise like your instincts and devour my brain? ”

Lowe's body trembled even more, and even red blood began to flow from the corners of his eyes.

"I ...... Wonder...... Have you ever killed...... Own people! Why! ”

Lowe struggled and said with difficulty.

It's not the first time I've fought with instinct for control of my body, but Lowe has never felt it was so difficult today.

"What she told you about my story is true, as for why ......"

The old man's eyes turned to the outside of the house, and he looked at the bone beast that had been built by himself from broken bones and was already squatting at the entrance of the ruined city.

"Life is gone, but its body and even broken bones are still driven by people, do you think its soul will be freed?"

Luo was silent, he didn't know if he could accept this answer, and he didn't know if it was what he wanted.

"The Stuart family is a dependent family of the Cardivan family, and the Stuart bloodline has a special ability, that is, strong spiritual power. But it was precisely because of this ability, which can be passed down by blood, that eventually led to the demise of the Stuart family. ”

The instinct in Luo's body was ready to move again, and he began to fight for control of his body.

"Young man, you have three choices."

The old man looked at Luo, who was hanging his head, with a trace of regret and relief on his face.

"The first choice, according to her request, go back with my head, and she will repair the hidden dangers in your body according to the agreement with you. I believe she has this ability, in fact, she has this ability for a long time. ”

The old man raised his hand to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth, he wanted to make himself look as little embarrassed as possible before his life was gone.

"The second option is to devour me and pick the abilities from my genetic chain that will satisfy you. My genetic chain may have collapsed, but you can still find the precious abilities that I have since become a master, and I believe you have this ability, in fact, you have already had this ability. ”

"As for the third option."

The old man stood up, took out a cloth bag in the corner, and placed it in front of Luo.

"If you choose to follow your instincts and devour my brain, if you're lucky enough, you might get my spiritual power, it's magical, you've just seen it. It's also something you instinctively want to get. ”

The old man opened the cloth bag, revealing a worn-out lilac headband inside.

"Whatever you choose, please give this thing to her."

Luo raised his head and looked at the old man with a smile on his face, the former master.

"Now you have a choice, young man."

In fact, Luo felt that he should have more than these three choices.

The door to the cabin slowly closed, and Lo finally made his choice.

No one knows what Lowe ultimately chose, or what Lowe's instincts ultimately chose. Luo won't say, and the former master should no longer have a chance to speak.

The only shelter in the ruined city was destroyed by Luo himself, and the ruined city, which Luo felt out of place in the wilderness, also lost its last line of defense. The high mottled concrete wall should not be able to stop the wheels of the wilderness from being crushed.
