Chapter 9 Superficial Cognition
Billowing smoke lit up in all directions of the city, and heart-rending screams rang out one after another.
Even on the third floor of the quiet old house nearby, Mu Xiu still seemed to smell all kinds of plastics, gums, leather, humans, etc., and the unpleasant smell emitted by the burning of various materials.
- Especially the smell of burning the human body, which is extremely disgusting, obviously not strong, but when I smell it, I subconsciously feel like I want to vomit.
“……”
The young man's face was a little ugly, and he felt that his heart was beating wildly, and he couldn't suppress the disordered emotions at all. It wasn't because I heard gunshots, explosions, or suspicious sounds like behemoths colliding with each other, and it wasn't because I smelled those disgusting smells, at least not all.
It's because ......
- It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he had killed someone.
Before this, he had been in a high degree of tension, thinking about how to deal with the enemy more safely, how to better improve the efficiency of his actions, and how to get team battle points faster......
Therefore, whether it was the decisive shooting after encountering other reincarnators, or continuing to kill a plot character by mistake after killing the other party, he didn't have any special feelings, at least at that time.
Even when he snatched the corpse of the enemy and left with him, he was thinking about being as careful as possible and trying not to leave things behind, but he never had the terrifying associations of "murder", "corpse", "ghost", etc. Although I was very nervous at the time, I really didn't have the slightest fear.
At most, I feel that I am moving with a dead corpse, which is a little disgusting.
"The decay of all things always goes on unconsciously...... and finally let out a long breath, as if he wanted to spit out all the knots in his heart, and he couldn't help but say this to himself while standing by the window.
That's exactly what that muscular brother said half an hour ago.
This sentence is in line with the meaning of the story at that time, which means that if you keep an eye on something all the time, you will not notice the real change, just like the growth of a child, the subtle changes will not be noticed at all, but the child will grow into an adult over time.
For example, if sometime or place someone suddenly gets bored and tries to put a sliced apple on the table and stare at it, he will not and cannot point out at what point the apple began to change. But when he suddenly looked back, he realized that it had been corrupted to the bone.
So when Brother Muscle noticed some disturbing changes in his guardian spirit, it was too late, and the thing had already begun to get out of his control.
And Mu Xiu feels that he is currently in a paradoxical state, which of course does not mean that he is going to have something out of control, but refers to the subtle changes in his own behavior and personality and other characteristics-
Only now, after shooting two people in quick succession, and after a full half hour, did he react.
It's not some evil spirit, some monster or anything like that, it's a living human life.
And he was killed by himself like this, but he didn't feel it at all.
To be precise, after obtaining the "Lord God" light ball, liberating the forbidden area of life, and aspiring to become an "anomaly", whether intentionally or not, and whether Mu Xiu himself wants to or not, he is gradually breaking away from the category of ordinary people. The strength, knowledge, experience, and even ideas of an ordinary man can no longer be limited as before......
And it is foreseeable that in the future, the impact of these things on him will be less and less.
Because it has nothing to do with the qualifications, efforts, and background of ordinary people, and it no longer belongs to the means, wisdom, and skills of normal people, after all, in the end, I am afraid that even the level of life is different, so the angle of looking at the problem is naturally more different. This is a very terrible question, and it is unabashedly present in the near future along with evolution.
You must know that even normal human beings with great wealth and power can be so ruthless that they don't care about the lives of other innocent people when they are planning for greater benefits.
In this case, how can a "person" who is not a human being at all be asked to consider the human rights of so-called compatriots, who are no different from their own appearance and form, but are essentially no different from monkeys who have not fully evolved?
Of course, Mu Xiu hadn't thought of so much now, nor did he think of the possibility of such a long time later.
He just looked out the window at the apocalyptic scene, looking stunned. And he still has a very superficial understanding of his changes.
About another three minutes passed.
When the nearby dead bodies had completely lost the target of the living creatures and began to wander around unconsciously, Mu Xiu had already left the old house. After all, these guys are extremely sensitive to sound, and they will attack wildly when they see a living person, and Mu Xiu is not sure if they will surround themselves unconsciously, so they need to find another safer place.
Otherwise, the dense corpse tide may indeed bury him here, and if he happens to be besieged by other passers-by when he is besieged by the dead, then there is basically a chance that he will not be able to escape.
Of course, there is another important reason because the previous muscle brother is expensive.
Although the two have reached a consensus for the time being, this is only based on the fact that the interests of the two parties do not conflict with each other - the other party wants the corpse for some reason, and Mu Xiu can get an additional part of the gift after obtaining the inheritance of the slain reincarnation, and he has no need for corpses......
So the two can have the possibility of negotiation.
After being shot one or two times, the other party still swallowed his anger and retreated.
But now that the transaction has been completed, the "Lord God" does not provide any guarantee services such as "the two sides cannot be enemies for what period of time" - in fact, there are still various types of contract props or something, but they are very expensive, and Mu Xiu vaguely sensed that something was wrong, so he didn't mention things like exchanging contracts - so the current relationship between the two sides has returned to the original kind of hidden hostility.
Although Brother Muscle Gui was very cautious when he left with the corpse, as if he was afraid of being followed by Mu Xiu.
But on the other hand, Mu Xiu is also seriously considering the possibility of the other party stalking him!
So this place can't stay for a while.
……
……
Zombies eat people, the end is coming, and the night in such a world background is always very similar.
Especially on the first night, it is basically more tragic than during the day, because many guys who may have escaped during the day may suddenly have an emotional breakdown at night. And whether he or she yells next, or simply refuses to accept reality, and runs out of hiding, what follows is basically already predestined.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa......"
Having moved to a room on a certain floor of a more secure building, Mu Xiu nibbled on dry food with water - actually a compressed energy bar or something that could provide plenty of nutrients and calories, but it tasted very poor - and by the way, he paid attention to the movement nearby, but the most he heard was the screams of different voices and tones, or heart-rending or breaking the sky.
And, of course, there are some discordant sounds of burning, explosions, gunshots, and the like of rebellion against fate.
It's just that they should all belong to ordinary people, and the first conflict and tentative battle of the reincarnators came to an end during the day. If you don't be able to take away your opponent in one wave during the day, you won't be desperate until one of them falls or something.
Anyway, I've figured out the opponent's fighting style, and it doesn't matter if I can't take it down for a while, you can avoid its edge first, and then wait until you're ready to make more targeted preparations, and then overturn the opponent in one fell swoop...... But what's interesting is that the other party actually thinks the same way.
The rules of the "main god" are set very strictly, and at present, the reincarnators who have not chosen team battles will probably be arranged to be tied to the plot characters to do tasks, and because they can get points for the plot characters, other reincarnators will be against them.
The guy who was shot by himself today should be the other reincarnators of the team battle.
And the military man whose spear ability has been strengthened to the point of being superb, and who is also not easy to mess with without gun fighting skills, probably belongs to the reincarnation who accepted the mission arrangement. And no matter which camp it is, there shouldn't be only these two reincarnators, it's just that a city is too big, scattered and fighting for itself, and it's normal for no one to meet anyone.
If it weren't for the fact that there is a plot character to attract firepower, and when everyone finds out that something is wrong, and the rules for killing bodies to earn points have a patch, they immediately rush to the Fuji Aesthetic Garden here to prepare to attack the plot characters who are easier to deal with, I am afraid that most of the reincarnators will not be able to confirm each other's existence during the day.
And the reincarnators with the characters in the plot are probably unable to move an inch, because there are too many eyes in the dark to covet them.
If it weren't for the same internal contradictions between the other side, the reincarnators who have the main quest and are bound to the plot characters may not be able to last a few days.
Now, even Mu Xiu is constantly moving around with bad intentions, always tracking their movement route.
This can already be seen how terrifying the attraction of the characters in the plot is, not only attracting a bunch of dead bodies eager for fresh flesh and blood, but also attracting a group of monsters that are absolutely inhuman in terms of stamina, courage and skill......
But—
These things are hidden, latent for the time being, not too long before they erupt, but certainly not too late. So for Mu Xiu, the most important thing now is to count his loot.
