Chapter 496 497
Nuclear radiation.
Radioactive dust, polluted ashes, withered and dead plants, genetically collapsed and rotting animals, or the filthy steel of a city...... The pollution they cause will not be dissipated even in the past 100 years.
This is the aftermath of the use of the ultimate weapon.
"Now that the radiation-contaminated ashes have appeared, we should be able to walk for a day or two, and we should be able to get to the city where the Mechanics are stationed."
Judging by the amount of ashes, Gu Fan saw that the overly lush vegetation in the surrounding environment had gradually become sparse, and the number of living beings had greatly decreased.
"That's ...... Corpse. ”
Near the yellowed woods, about twenty corpses appeared.
They were ragged, foul-smelling and rotting, and looked to have been dead for more than three days, with many maggots and mosquitoes crawling on the corpses.
"These people are on the move."
Shen Mengxi glanced at the backpack on one of them, and the others were in the same situation, fleeing with the most precious "belongings", but when they came to this area, they were killed by some inexplicable creature.
Gu Fan's eyes flashed slightly, and he saw through some things, but he was still silent, letting Shen Mengxi check and speculate.
"I'm not good at examining bodies."
"But these people were killed by other creatures, and the wounds are obvious."
Shen Mengxi pointed to the fatal wounds on several of them, several wounds cut their throats and chests, it seemed that they were caused by extremely sharp claws, they should be beasts in the forest?
"It's weird."
"Their carcasses weren't eaten."
Shen Mengxi was puzzled, generally speaking, xenos would definitely eat human flesh and blood, but this group of people let them rot here, could it be that xenos have learned to be picky eaters? ?
Gu Fan reminded: "Feel it carefully." ”
Shen Mengxi walked into the corpse.
She didn't dislike the maggots and flies on the rotting flesh, and put her palm on it to feel it quietly.
What a rich radiation!!
The flesh and blood of these people have a strong energy of nuclear radiation contamination.
If the ashes floating on the leaves were a pinch of flame, then the group of people was like burning firewood, even hotter and brighter.
"Look."
"The knuckles of those two have changed."
Gu Fan reminded him a little that several of the corpses had undergone varying degrees of mutation.
One of his fingers became deformed, narrower and longer, and even had long bone spurs at the joints of his bones, all of which had high levels of radiation contamination.
"Is this the mutation caused by nuclear radiation?"
Shen Mengxi marveled that the contamination of nuclear radiation had penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
These people are supposed to live not far from the radiation area, but now that the disaster has struck, they have to abandon the camp and go to other areas to survive.
"The nuclear radiation is too severe, and the aliens don't eat ......"
Shen Mengxi shook her head and walked over to another corpse, but it didn't take long for her to check it a little, and suddenly there was a lot of change!!
Swish!!
The rotting corpse suddenly raised its palm and swung it towards Shen Mengxi, and the ten fingers were completely devoid of flesh and blood, turning into blades made of bones, wanting to cut Shen Mengxi's throat with one blow.
How quick did the Sage react?
Even if Shen Mengxi is not a person with physical enhancement ability, the gap in rank cannot be crossed, and before the bone finger blade reaches Shen Mengxi's body, a strong sound wave is emitted from the side of his arm, which spreads out with the help of the eardrum of the skin and muscles.
Poof!!
The corpse's entire arm shattered, and the sound of the sound ripped through large swaths of rotting flesh, leaving it with only one bone.
However...... Something shocking happened, and the dry bones slowly stood up???
There was a remnant of flesh and blood hanging on the skeleton, only half of the shattered eyes remained, and the flesh and blood organs on the body all burst into minced flesh in the aftermath of the sound wave just now, and they fell to the ground and turned into a large pool of carrion.
But it's such a skeleton, but it comes to life, it's like a skeleton monster that often appears in games!
"Murderous bones."
Gu Fan obviously knew this monster, and he knew from the first time that this group of people had mutated.
This kind of monster with ferocious bones is often found in nuclear radiation areas, and many humans or other creatures living in polluted areas will gather a large amount of radiation energy in their bones.
Their flesh and blood life will gradually pass away and seep into the bones.
After a long time, the mutated sound bones are strongly alienated, and after death, they will become monsters like "fierce bones", even if they don't have the flesh and blood of the whole body, no internal organs and brains, they can rely on radiation energy to use bones to live.
They are another variant.
Unlike a carrion corpse with a thirst for flesh and blood, the Fierce Bone can't digest food, but he is full of violence and murderous emotions, like those violent radiation factors, wanting to kill all the creatures around him.
Poof, poof, poof.
The surrounding corpses changed one after another.
Twenty corpses, more than a dozen of them turned into murderous bones, as if molting from the flesh, revealing the miserable white bones, some of which were heavily polluted and even took on a foul brownish yellow, almost like.
It's fast!
These fierce bones can be compared to the lowest level of xenomorphs, the Night Demon.
Their mutated bone claws are very sharp, without flesh and blood and all kinds of "cumbersome" baggage, and simply use the mutated bones full of radiation to move, and their strength and speed are very strong.
Twenty ordinary people, after death, produced more than a dozen murderous bone xenomorphs...... The odds are a bit too scary.
"Sonic Wave!!"
Shen Mengxi is also a master who has been training in the Bitter Illusion Corridor for nearly a year.
She spread out her palm, and a layer of sound waves spread out, and the sound waves were like a heavy hammer slamming on the fierce bones, and more than a dozen xenomorphs composed entirely of bones broke into countless broken bones scattered all over the ground in an instant.
"It was so unexpected."
"Pure bones, can also become xenomorphs?"
Shen Mengxi was very puzzled: "How do they look for enemies, they have no hearing, no vision, and they may not even feel ......"
This kind of fierce bone acts on instinct.
Their eyes are bursting, their ears are not hearing, and even their brains are like brain flowers, and it can be said that they are blind and deaf.
How do they find their enemies?
"Radiation."
"Every moment, the fierce bones emit some radiant energy."
"The air is filled with invisible particles of radiation, and they are much more efficient than what is inside sonar. ”
Shen Mengxi glanced at Gu Fan curiously.
He was too familiar with these aliens, and it didn't look like he had seen a murderous bone for the first time.
"Let's go."
"Be careful in the future, these sternums are all transformed from ordinary people, if it is a ferocious beast, maybe the strength will be very high."
Gu Fan admonished, Shen Mengxi nodded, the act of touching the corpse just now can no longer be repeated.
This is Chiguo's "teaching" himself!
