Chapter 56: Lizards
"Poof!"
Li Qian fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The bone knife in her hand also showed a clear crack.
If she hadn't protected the bone knife on her chest just now, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as simple as spitting blood now.
Li Qian stood up and looked at the other side.
The monster is over three meters tall, with thick black scales all over its body, thick hind limbs, and short forelimbs.
There are dozens of sharp dorsal ridges on the back, and there is a stout giant tail at the bottom of the back.
On his head, a pair of turquoise eyes radiated a faint light.
"Ahem."
"Damn, this is a monster that has never come out of nowhere?"
Li Qian was a little puzzled: "This is also a human mutation?" ”
"Nope."
Shangguan walked up to her: "It's not just humans who have been affected by the Doomsday Rain and caused mutations. ”
"Judging by its form, it's clearly a reptilian creature."
"Well, it's supposed to be a lizard, and it's a xenomorph that can compete with tyrants."
Shangguan looked at it quietly, as if he had seen a beautiful work of art.
Animals tend to undergo more complex changes when they are infected than humans.
Not to mention anything else, in terms of physical strength, defense, speed, recovery, etc., they are stronger than zombies.
If it is a secondary evolution or a different species in it, the level of terror can even surpass that of tyrants and lickers.
After the xenolizard appeared, the surrounding zombies showed a sense of fear at the same time and retreated one after another.
There were a few zombies that were originally standing next to the lizard, because they didn't have time to retreat, they were directly torn in half by it, and then grabbed half of their bodies and chewed them heavily.
“......”
Li Qian turned to look at Shangguan: "This thing even eats zombies??" ”
"What's so strange about that?"
"Lickers can eat zombies, why can't it?"
Shangguan looked around.
"I'll fix it."
"You kill the zombies around you."
After speaking, without waiting for Li Qian to reply, he rushed out towards the xenolizard.
Watching Shangguan rush towards him, the monster's eyes actually showed mocking emotions.
This shows that it has intelligence, and that alone is terrifying.
And, soon it confirmed it.
"Boom!!"
The xenolizard slammed its body, its thick tail slamming heavily on the ground.
But strangely, despite the loud sound of this slap, there was not the slightest trace of damage on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Shangguan's heart moved, and he immediately stopped.
Right now.
"Buzz!!"
An irresistible force of gravity suddenly acted on Shangguan.
Gravitational oppression.
It's a deadly ability, and it's what separates xenos from mutated creatures.
Ordinary mutant monsters, no matter how powerful they are, are only embodied in their bodies. Such as strength, defense, speed, and so on......
But xenos are different, in addition to these physical qualities, they will also have their own exclusive abilities like the ability!!
It's like the xenomorph lizard in front of Shangguan's eyes.
Its ability is called gravitational oppression, which can increase the gravity of some areas by a factor of ten by altering the surrounding magnetic field.
Don't underestimate this tenfold gravitational boost.
The threat it poses is deadly.
Here's an example.
An ability, his own weight is a hundred catties, if he is allowed to carry a thousand catties, even a low-ability person can barely do it.
But if he increased his own gravity tenfold, there would be only one consequence......
His internal organs will be instantly squeezed out, and even directly squeezed out of the body through his eyes, ears, mouth, nose and other parts.
Even a person with strong abilities will be very embarrassed to be attacked like this without preparation.
But......
Its opponent is Shangguan, a monster that can manipulate energy at will.
And force, or gravity, is precisely a manifestation of energy.
Restrained.
Very deadly restraint.
The xenolizard's ability did not affect Shangguan in the slightest, and even after feeling this gravity, Shangguan's face showed a playful smile.
I saw him stop suddenly, just standing quietly in front of the xenolizard.
Not sure why.
Looking at the smile on Shangguan's face, the xenomorph lizard suddenly felt a little uneasy.
It's as if a voice has been telling me to leave quickly, or I will definitely die here.
Just when it stood still, hesitating.
Shangguan moved.
The xenosaurus didn't see his movements clearly at all, only felt a figure flash, and Shangguan appeared in front of him.
Immediately after, Shangguan raised his palm and slapped it lightly on the xenolizard.
The xenolizard froze.
This beat, for it, is not painful, not even a trace of feeling.
Just when it wondered what the man in front of it was doing.
An indescribable terrifying force appeared around it out of thin air, and then acted on its entire body, constantly compressing its body.
"Roar, roar!!"
"Roar, roar!!"
The xenolizard let out a painful wail, but the power did not change in the slightest because of its wail.
"Click! Click! Click! ”
"Poof!!"
"Bang!!"
Soon, the xenosaur's eyes were directly crushed by this terrifying force, and the sound of muscle tearing and bone breaking continued to be heard in its body.
Finally.
The xenomorph lizard was compressed into a one-meter-diameter ball.
At the same time, it has completely lost its vitality.
"Poof!!"
The cold light flashed, and Shangguan cut its corpse open with a knife, finding a dark yellow crystal that resembled a clod of earth.
"Sure enough."
"This is an xenomorph that has evolved to the second stage."
Shangguan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then waved his arm.
Soon, the lizard's phosphorus armor, the back of its back, and the tailbone were all removed.
This monster is different from the licker, and it is almost covered in treasures.
After the opening of the Iron City, these things were the most precious besides the rough stones.
Meanwhile.
Li Qian also wiped out all the zombies nearby.
She carried her stuffed backpack and returned to Shangguan's side.
"Go back, that's all for today."
"I've got some nice gadgets that I need to take some time to study them."
Li Qian glanced at the "gadgets" in Shangguan's hand, nodded, reached out to take them, and dragged them towards the apartment.
Right now.
"Bilib!!"
A slight electric chime rang out.
Shangguan's heart moved, and he subconsciously turned around to look.
Really.
A familiar face appeared before his eyes.
Lin Huan.
The only friend Shangguan had ever seen since he returned to modern times.
"You're here for me?"
Shangguan looked her up and down, and asked with some confusion.
"I've finally found you."
"I'm in a hurry and need your help."
Lin Huan looked at the senior officer with some apprehension.
After all, she didn't know much about Shangguan, and now she came to the door so boldly to ask for help......
Just when Lin Huan was still thinking nonsense, Shangguan nodded indifferently: "Okay." ”
"Say, what's .....?"
