Chapter 10: The Stranger
In a dilapidated building, Su Mo gouged open the monster's head and took out a blood-red bead from inside.
Walking to the place where the balcony was waterlogged, Su Mo cleaned it carefully, and then swallowed the bead into his stomach.
The familiar feeling of coldness hit, and when the system began to absorb the energy in the beads, Su Mo felt an invisible force changing his physique little by little.
Not only the body, but also the crystals in one's own body are strengthening little by little.
It's just that the process is very slow.
Su Mo understands this, after all, the system absorbs a lot of energy in order to recharge.
After doing this series of actions, the two quickly shifted locations again.
Lin Xiaoling was full of doubts, she guessed that Su Mo might be one of the mutants, but she didn't understand why Su Mo was collecting those red beads.
However, Lin Xiaoling didn't ask much, after all, it was a level that he couldn't touch, he was just an ordinary person, and there was no need to know too much about people at that level.
In the following days, Su Mo repeated his old tricks, constantly hunting and killing those monsters.
In the constant fighting, his skills became more and more sophisticated.
From the beginning, it took a fierce fight, but now it only takes a knife to easily end the lives of those monsters.
Su Mo couldn't remember how many of those beads he had devoured, but he knew that his physical body was already unbelievably strong.
Su Mo really wanted to find a large-caliber sniper rifle to try it on himself, but in the current world, even these old antiques have become in short supply.
After spending a few more days in the city, the two walked in the direction of the gathering place again.
Along the way, Su Mo met many survivors who survived the end times, describing them as withered, ragged, and living like rats hiding in the sewers of the city.
This made Su Mo a little puzzled.
"Why would they rather live in such an environment where they can be hunted by monsters every day? Don't go to the gathering place? Isn't it safer to go somewhere? ”
Listening to Su Mo's words, Lin Xiaoling smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"If they could, of course they would. But not all human settlements are willing to receive them, and the gathering places that will receive these people are only very few in the last days. ”
Saying that, the brilliance in Lin Xiaoling's eyes gradually dimmed,
"They are just ordinary people, and for those who live in the high positions of the congregation, they are almost useless except for wasting food. Moreover, even if there were a gathering place willing to take them in, it would definitely use them to death until all their surplus value was drained. ”
"In the gathering place, safety may be guaranteed, but you have to endure all kinds of humiliation and suffering, and you can't eat a full bite of food every day...
"For many ordinary people in the last days, it is the real hell. So they'd rather be devoured by monsters at any time outside than go to a gathering place. ”
Su Mo was stunned when he heard this, shouldn't the gathering place be a place where everyone unites with each other to resist monsters together?
Listening to what Lin Xiaoling said, it seems that the situation there is worse than the end of the world?!
Suddenly, Su Mo thought of a question, and he looked at Lin Xiaoling suspiciously.
"Then why did you follow me to the gathering place? You know。。。。。 ”
Lin Xiaoling lowered his head and subconsciously stroked the bean bubbles and scars pasted on his face.
"I still have a friend there, and I want to meet her...
Su Mo shrugged his shoulders and didn't ask any further.
At noon the next day, the two passed by a small town.
Far away, a fierce fight was heard from the town.
Su Mo saw that in the center of the town, the flames were rising and falling, accompanied by the ups and downs of the flames, and the roars of several monsters also entered Su Mo's eardrums.
"Brother, there is a stranger ahead!"
Lin Xiaoling reminded in surprise.
"The Adept?"
Looking at the flames that had sparked at that time, Su Mo hesitated.
In the end, I decided to go to the front and have a look.
didn't worry about leaving Lin Xiaoling outside alone, so he simply took her into the town.
The two cautiously walked through the market, all the way into the town.
Not far from the sound of the fight, the two stopped, hid under the window of a hut, and observed the young man who was fighting three monsters in the street.
The boy was scarred at the moment, his thin body was covered with wounds that had been torn by those monsters, and the blood was dripping down his wrist and falling to the ground, but he didn't realize it.
A scorching flash of fire erupted from the boy's body, instantly evaporating the blood that flowed out.
Under the attack of the three monsters, the boy was clearly at a disadvantage, and although the flames on his body could burn those monsters, it did not cause much damage to those monsters.
Looking at the seven or eight monster corpses on the ground that were burned to a scorched past, Su Mo secretly smacked his tongue.
Is this the Adept? Legendary mutants?
One person can fight a dozen monsters alone, which is really strong enough!
But it's a pity, that's the end of it, the young man is seriously injured at the moment, and he is already at the end of the crossbow, I'm afraid he won't last long.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the boy to kill a monster with all his might, but his body was hit by another monster.
This time, the young man was not lightly injured, and his thin body was slammed on the road in the distance by the monster, and the earth and stones were splashed, and blood gushed out.
Seeing that the two monsters were about to pounce on the young man, Su Mo reached out and touched the back of his waist, he was ready to make a move, and it was not difficult for him to deal with these two monsters now.
By the way, he also happened to ask this young man something, after all, as an alien, he should know a little more about the situation of the Mo family than ordinary people.
But at this moment, the young man who had fallen to the ground stood up suddenly, and he shouted behind him: "Xiao Qi! Wind! ”
As his words fell, a strange gust of wind surged behind him!
The sleeves of the boy's coat fluttered in the wind, and he gritted his teeth, and a ball of fire erupted from the palm of his hand, and with the help of the wind, he slammed into the face of the two monsters.
But unfortunately, despite the full blow, the energy in the young man's body at this moment was almost exhausted in the previous battle, and the flames emitted at this moment were only enough to force the two monsters back.
It was only at this time that Su Mo noticed that more than ten meters behind the young man, there was a little girl in a pleated skirt still hiding.
Her petite body hid behind a mechanical soldier, and her five fingers were spread out in one hand, facing the direction of the boy, and her two large smart eyes were shining with tears.
"That gust of wind just now was sent by this little girl?"
Su Mo was a little stunned,
She's only five or six years old, right? Also a Stranger?
Just when Su Mo was puzzled, the young man who was standing on the street and confronting the two monsters suddenly spoke.
"Brother! We don't need your help! I'll get rid of these two guys! You take my sister away! Send her to Sunset City! All that is on us is yours! When we arrive in Doomsday City, our people will be grateful!! ”
Was it discovered? Su Mo smiled bitterly.
The senses of these supernatural beings are really strong, and while fighting fiercely, they can even notice themselves in hiding.
Before Su Mo could reply, the two monsters rushed up again!
The boy didn't hesitate at all, and his body began to turn red from the inside out, like a boiler full of steam about to explode.
Traces of white smoke continued to spill from the boy's skin, and his expression began to distort and become painful.
"Sixth brother!"
Seeing the appearance of the young man, the little girl pushed away the mechanical illness in front of her, crying and screaming that she was about to pounce on her bare feet.
