Chapter VII Absorption
The gray-haired mouse then let out a hiss, and part of its spine began to bend, its bones crackled as if it were deformed, and sharp bone spurs sprouted from its spine.
The rat's size is also changing, its small eyes glowing red, its muscles begin to swell, and its claws and teeth become sharper.
It didn't take long for Lu Qi to be surprised to find that the gray-haired mouse had grown larger, and it had turned into a bald and red-skinned strange mouse, like a mutated creature that had received radiation.
"After receiving the appendage injections, the rats mutated, which is supposed to be an ability that I currently have. But why did this gray-haired mouse become like this......"
One thing is for sure, all of this must have something to do with Fang Cai's green spores.
Lu Qi himself could sense that the spore particles like green spikes were in the gray-haired mouse's body.
At the same time, he also has a hidden connection with the gray-haired mouse, which allows him to simply give some instructions to the gray-haired mouse.
For example, simple running, jumping, walking, as well as exploring areas, attacking, dodging, this kind of requirements, the gray-haired mouse seems to be able to understand and execute.
And the gray-haired mouse had no doubts about his orders, and would only do as he was told.
His telepathic ability can directly communicate with the deformed gray rat, which is very inefficient and simple, but basically has no problem communicating his commands.
"Honestly...... It's all about developing a 'downline' skill, and I should be able to try to control it, and maybe in the blink of an eye, I'll be able to create an army of mutant rats." ”
However, this little guy's combat power is very weak, and he looks a little fierce, but in fact he is stronger than ordinary rats, and he has not been "strengthened" as a whole.
But if you can increase the number, you may be able to help yourself.
It's just that the changed distortion rat is too conspicuous in appearance, and if it is seen by ordinary people, it is estimated that it will also cause trouble, so this idea is a bit unrealistic.
What's more, where to find so many rats.
Lu Qi felt that his idea was a little naïve, and he didn't pay much attention to this thought.
"By the way, the location of the balcony is easy to expose the situation in the house, I have to find a way to seal these two places......"
This old apartment is very old, and the history is to be traced back to at least the early days of liberation, and the exterior is all dark gray walls, and the undulating bay windows between the floors.
Lu Qi thought for a moment and lifted up his broken bed board.
He doesn't need his bed now, so the bed board can also be used as a waste to pile up with other miscellaneous items to cover the direction of the balcony, so that no one can peek into the house through the balcony.
While doing these chores, he can also be distracted by playing games online, watching videos, tinkering with mobile games, or teasing the newly raised aberrant rat with his tentacles.
"I'm usually busy with work every day, so it's rare to have time to stay at home and relax......
He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable with such a life at home, after all, it was usually so busy that it was difficult to calm down and rest during the holidays, but with this posture, he also knew that he would never have the opportunity to go back to work, and when he was relaxed, he felt a little too leisurely.
However, this kind of "leisure" did not last long, and in the afternoon, the ruffian and his friends drove a broken pickup truck and transported more than a dozen bags of rice and rice noodles to the upper floor.
The janitor of the old apartment asked, but the ruffian didn't think much about it, and directly reported Lu Qi's name.
He is an old resident, and this old man also has an impression, so he was not embarrassed and let him go directly.
The ruffian did things simply, threw the things at Lu Qi's door, and ran away in the car with his friends.
"It's okay to do this, and it also saves me a lot of wasteful tongue and exposing my feet."
Lu Qi's heart was finally wide, to be honest, he was a little hungry, and these dozen bags of rice and flour were enough for him to support him.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, he quietly opened a gap in the door and dragged the rice and flour into his house.
Lu Qi counted carefully, there were a total of ten bags of rice and five bags of flour.
The ruffian got these things, and it is not easy to run upstairs and downstairs, after all, a bag weighs nearly 50 pounds.
"It's supposed to be a bargain, but it doesn't matter to me, let's absorb it first......"
The reason for choosing rice and flour is simple, because these foods are cheap and unobtrusive, and no one will be suspicious even if they buy more.
Lu Qi picked out a bag of rice, tore the package directly, and used his tentacles to absorb it.
His tentacles have a variety of functions, automatically forming aggressive mouthparts, and can also secrete liquids from the tentacles to digest food.
Lu Qi had a feeling that the body of his near-protoplasmic creature possessed the ability to reorganize and restructure in an instant, simulating the generation of various forms.
That is also the most primitive ability he inherited, which was named the "abyss species", the ability to adapt to extreme horror.
He began to reach out and absorb these carbohydrates, which are rich in protein and starch, and converted them into life-sustaining power.
Basically, it turns into a giant tentacle monster, and there is no special taste for food to absorb into it.
Lu Qi only cared about absorbing vigorously, and in about an hour, he killed three bags of rice and a bag of flour in a row.
“…… I feel like I'm still hungry in my stomach, and I should still be able to absorb carbohydrates......"
He doesn't have a "stomach" now, but his primitive instincts tell him to eat as much food as he can.
So, he didn't suppress his temperament, but devoured it boldly with confidence.
After another hour, Lu Qi dried up five more bags of rice and two bags of flour, which made his appetite extremely amazing.
After eating this, Lu Qi digested nearly 500 catties of grain, and he felt that his body felt a little full, and of course, he could continue to absorb it.
He felt that his body could absorb and dissolve all the time, but so far, he had developed an opportunity to sleep for a while and metamorphose further.
Through some fragments of his "secret memory", Lu Qi realized that with every transformation, he could get more evolution.
His adaptability will become stronger, his form will become larger, and he will improve in all aspects.
Of course, the most important thing is that he will get a part of those dark memories that have been passed down, and even the supernormal abilities he has inherited will also be transformed, and he believes that as long as he continues to dig, he will be lucky enough to find a way to recover as an adult.
This is his speculation, and he is not sure if he will be able to return to his original posture and change to his original posture.
But the subconscious told him that metamorphosis was a good thing, otherwise he would be sitting back and waiting to die if he remained the way he was.
