Chapter XXII

The disaster first broke out in City X.

At that time, Xia Xiaoyu and her parents were packing their bags and preparing to go home.

As always, she talked back to her mother and played with her mobile phone as always.

Last night's meteor shower didn't arrive.

She said to her father with a joking thought: It's also a meteor shower, and it's back today.

Then the color of the flames stained the sky red.

She stared blankly at the window of the inn, and the sudden event made her stand still like everyone else.

An unknown substance struck her in the head, shattering her head.

The massive blue crystals embedded in the flesh of her head, melted with the flames and spread throughout her body.

Her parents didn't see the smoke and rubble, and they staggered towards her, even though they were covered in glass, and their instincts drove them on.

They were terrified, they collapsed, and the moment they saw Xia Xiaoyu's corpse, their mother fell into a complete frenzy, touching the flames that were gradually turning blue.

She screamed and rolled, and her father tried desperately to stop it, only to be consumed by the same flames.

The flesh of the two gradually melted and mutated, and then a giant sarcoma formed and merged with the walls of the hotel.

Xia Xiaoyu, who woke up due to physical recovery, saw such a scene at that moment.

Later, she also forgot how she escaped there, and the shocking facts made her simply think that her parents had already evacuated to the temporary base with the search and rescue team.

So she fled with the others.

But everything soon fell.

She kept walking and stopping, watching the travelers on the road turn into strange creatures one by one, and finally followed the large team to the only city of E that had not fallen.

her home.

But she didn't find her parents.

City E also soon fell.

When she watched the only remaining friends around her accelerate the change under her touch, she realized a fact.

She herself is the source of the infection.

Everywhere she walked, there were abnormal changes for no reason, and her body was also undergoing irreversible changes.

The frightened Xia Xiaoyu hid in the house and separated her throat with a knife, strangled her neck with a rope, and poured fire on herself, over and over again, again and again, but she would wake up, and the changes in her body continued after that.

Countless repetitions.

She found that she was already alone.

The silent streets and wild suburbs are deserted.

……

"I ...... Who is coming? ”

Xia Xiaoyu, who was standing in front of Lin Ling, slashed into her eye sockets with her bone-like hands, and fine crystal fragments fell from her face.

She looked up confusedly and looked at Linling.

"No, these are not important, the important thing is that I am no longer alone, I have finally found you, you are immune to the erosion of crystals, and you have the same characteristics as me and other monsters, you are my only compatriot!"

The blue substance like soft mud continued to flow out from Xia Xiaoyu's mouth and eyes, and the lower half of the body, which was originally just festering, also stretched out countless thorn-like substances towards Lin Ling.

Looking at all this calmly, Lin Ling raised the bone spear.

The slender bony spear deformed in all of this, spreading like water down the right arm, forming something like armor that enveloped the skin of the arm, exposing only a few bone spurs.

The substance turned from the bone spear continued to spread upward, eventually covering half of Lin Ling's cheeks.

"I'm sorry, I'm not."

Fingers like sharp claws cut off those spikes that stretched out towards her, and Lin Ling looked at Xia Xiaoyu in front of her, whose thinking had fallen into madness.

"You're not one of the kind."

"Nope! No! You lied to me! ”

The roar was almost tinged with a hint of crying, and countless plants rioted in an instant.

Lin Ling, who had been prepared for a long time, directly spread her wings that had broken through her coat and flew into the air.

Her left hand was directly deformed, and the metal skin peeled off from the flesh, forming blade-like flakes that cut through every plant that came at her.

The unconscious system is tied to her chest, completely unaware of the dangerous status quo.

Lin Ling looked at the locked arrow displayed on the map in the view, and without any hesitation, she raised her left hand.

The countless intertwined blood-colored arthropods on the left hand were directly attached to the mechanical arm and turned into a petal-like shape, continuously transporting Lin Ling's body into her left hand.

At this moment, the mechanical arm has shed that layer of skin, and the exposed example barrel is also revealed in the air.

This is the killer move that Lin Ling has always kept, just to meet this last moment.

Aim, fire.

A black halo burst out of the muzzle of the gun, converging into a black straight line and rushing straight down to the flora that swooped down below, completely twisting it to pieces.

At the same time, the incomparably deep black color spreads over the green vegetation.

Xia Xiaoyu stood on the trunk of the largest tree, clenching his teeth and breaking a few teeth.

The flesh on her back began to squirm, and blood-red membranes tore out of her body.

She flew into the sky and rushed towards Linling.

"Obviously we're the same kind!"

A roaring voice erupted from Xia Xiaoyu's mouth, and her bony hands stretched out towards the wings behind Lin Ling's back.

Lin Ling didn't answer, so she turned around and cut off Xia Xiaoyu's hands.

Looking at the regenerated severed limbs of the other party quickly, Lin Ling accelerated and distanced himself from him.

Although the ingredients of the Moth Girl are integrated into her human body, it is not the same, and Lin Ling has made a lot of changes in terms of mobility.

But even so, in the face of Xia Xiaoyu, who was supported by almost the entire world's mutant creatures, she felt a slight headache.

Secretly said sorry to the system in her heart, and Lin Ling grabbed the ball in her arms and threw it directly to the ground.

Xia Xiaoyu behind him was also devoted to Lin Ling, so he didn't notice this scene.

After realizing that he couldn't catch up with Lin Ling no matter what, Xia Xiaoyu's already dissolved lower body stretched out countless spikes and shot straight forward.

These black spikes obviously had a big problem, and the moment Lin Ling was scraped because she didn't dodge in time, she felt a strange tingle.

When I turned my head, I saw that the blue crystals were spreading on my skin.

Lin Ling then scraped off the glass of the building she had just flovered over, almost being wrapped in the man-eating flowers in it.

And this short delay was directly grabbed by Xia Xiaoyu and dragged to the ground together.

The branch directly cut through Lin Ling's wings.

kicked Xia Xiaoyu, who was about to be entangled, into the distance, Lin Ling looked at the barrel of her left arm, which was still cooling, and sighed.

The blood-colored substance mixed with white fluff broke through the skin and coiled around her.

"Why...... Why ......" Xia Xiaoyu's thinking, which was kicked to the head by Lin Ling, is even more chaotic now.

The countless eyes on her face stared at Lin Ling together, and the small openings all over her skin were also repeated with doubtful remarks.

"Aren't we supposed to be the same kind? Shouldn't we live together in this world? ”

She staggered to her feet, her thin body swelling and deforming, the roots of plants converging around her.

"Then why run away?"
