Outside Shangguan's apartment, it was almost full of zombie corpses.

The streets were littered with severed limbs.

The corpses all had a common feature, their hearts had been taken from them.

Underground laboratory.

A licker with no limbs is chained here.

"One high-grade rough stone = twenty intermediate rough stones = four hundred low-grade rough stones."

"In addition to helping humans evolve, the rough stone also has the effect of recovering from injuries."

"Lickers can evolve by devouring zombies or primordial stones, but the product of evolution is not a tyrant, but an unknown product!"

"On the contrary, it is an ordinary zombie, after eating a large amount of rough stones, the gray-white keratin on the surface of the skin will accelerate the growth, and the joints at the joints will multiply abnormally......"

“......”

......

After the last Q&A, Natasha and Shangguan talked alone for a long time, and even Li Qian didn't know the content of the conversation.

After that, Natasha stayed with Shangguan and worked as his assistant.

Last night, the three Shangguan hunted a large number of zombies and lickers in the apartment for their comparative experiments.

Natasha stayed at home and continued her observational experiments.

"The girl and I went out to hunt zombies and provide her with experimental materials!"

"Remember, don't worry about zombies, we can cultivate high-grade rough stones produced by tyrants ourselves.

Except for the rough stone left for the girl, the rest is added to the licker, and I want to see what kind of monster it will evolve into! ”

Crazy!

Shangguan's behavior is absolutely crazy!

While others were still struggling to become capable, Shangguan actually wanted to use the original stone to help those monsters evolve!!

Assertive.

Extreme self-confidence.

No matter how terrifying a monster you cultivate, you will never be able to pose a threat to yourself.

After leaving the apartment, Li Qian looked at Shangguan.

"Where are we going to hunt zombies??"

"Train stations, shopping malls, hospitals, schools.

Anywhere, as long as it's a crowded place. ”

Shangguan said lightly.

Li Qian thought for a while: "There are two choices. ”

"One. Return to the No. 1 Senior High School in XX City, where a large number of zombies have gathered on the playground. ”

Shangguan shook his head: "Teacher Zhang, they are there, let's not join in the fun." ”

"Say the second option."

"Turn left 500 meters ahead, it's xx mall!"

"Usually there is a huge flow of people......

"Okay, just go there!"

......

xx mall.

Landmark building in CY City. With a total floor area of 120,000 square meters and a total height of 54 meters, it is divided into 12 floors above ground and 3 floors underground.

It is a large-scale shopping center integrating shopping, catering, leisure, entertainment and function stores.

The whole mall consists of a large underground parking lot, a supermarket, a fashion square, a food court and other parts.

"Strange."

"Why are there so few zombies?"

Li Qian stood at the door and looked inside the mall, and found that there were only a dozen zombies wandering around aimlessly in the hall on the first floor, which was far from the number she expected.

"It's not normal!"

"Unless something terrifying appears here, causing these zombies to dare not approach and flee one after another."

Shangguan touched his chin, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Li Qian's face changed.

She had encountered a situation where other monsters did not dare to approach, and that was the time when the tyrant appeared.

Because of the appearance of the tyrant, all the lickers did not dare to approach the area where they were, could it be that such a terrifying monster appeared here??

"Weapons ready, let's empty here."

"I'd like to see what monsters are born here!!"

Li Qian nodded, and casually pulled out the sharp bone blade.

"Do it!"

Shangguan walked into the mall and let out a low cry from his mouth.

The sudden shouts immediately attracted the attention of the zombies, and the dozen or so zombies wandering on the first floor all turned around and stared at Shangguan and the two tightly.

Their ugly faces distorted, their scarlet eyes revealing infinite madness.

"Roar, roar!!"

"Roar, roar!!"

After a brief lull, there is endless madness.

All the zombies let out a furious roar, waving their claws and lunging at the two of them.

"Poof!"

"One head!!"

The sharp blades of bone tore through the muscles and severed the cervical vertebrae, and the blood gushed out like a fountain.

Two-headed, three-headed, four-headed.

There is no need for Shangguan to do anything at all, Li Qian can sweep these zombies alone.

However, in just a few minutes, the zombies on the first and second floors were cleaned up by Li Qian.

Oddly enough.

When the zombies were cleared, the mall fell silent.

There was no sound other than the sound of the two of them breathing for each other.

"It's weird!"

Shangguan muttered in a low voice and took the lead towards the third floor.

Li Qian didn't say a word, and followed closely behind her.

3rd, 4th, 5th floors.

It's all dead silent, not to mention other mutant monsters, not even a single zombie.

And as it continued to deepen, an inexplicable sense of fear gradually spread in Li Qian's heart.

Just as they were about to head to the sixth floor.

"Bang!!"

The staircase to the sixth floor suddenly cracked a large hole, and a pitch-black figure burst out of it.

"Retreat!"

Shangguan grabbed Li Qian's arm and quickly stepped back.

"Boom!!"

Where the two of them were standing just now, a large crater suddenly appeared, and the ground around them was also cracked.

In the middle of the pit, there is a licker lying on his stomach.

That's right, it's the licker.

This licker was completely different from the one they had encountered before.

The surface of its muscles is condensed with a layer of black, and the spine of its back is high and protruding, high at both ends, with a middle bottom, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, like a scimitar.

At the same time, behind it, there is also a long bony tail.

The bony tail is about a meter long, three fingers thick, and the tip of the tail is as sharp as a claw, and it can leave a deep mark on the ground when whipped at will.

"Something interesting."

"I actually met a xenolicker here!"

Shangguan stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, an excited expression on his face.

Li Qian frowned: "What is called xenomorphism?" ”

"Xenomorph!

Refers to mutants with special abilities. ”

"They retain their original abilities and gain at least one additional special ability."

"The rough from xenomorphs is very rare and very special, and we have to get it."

Shangguan explained for Li Qian.

Li Qian nodded, leaned forward, and made a gesture of being ready to attack at any time.

Right now.

"Roar, roar!!"

"Roar, roar!!"

Roars rang from upstairs.

The next moment.

Several xenos with the same licker rushed down from the upper floor and headed straight for the two of them.

Li Qian's face changed greatly.

"Damn, why are there so many?"

She glanced sideways at Shangguan and found that the smile on the corner of his mouth was actually a little deeper, without the slightest fear.

Li Qian gritted her teeth, clenched the bone knife in her hand and greeted the licker......
