Chapter 18: Hidden Threats

In the narrow and dark stairwell, garbage cans are dumped on the ground, waste can be seen everywhere, and in addition to the stench of various garbage, there is also a faint smell of blood in the air.

There are traces of blood on the walls and stone steps, and at the corners of each floor, one or two bloody corpses can be seen, basically either with severed hands and feet, or they have been disemboweled alive, and the scene is very terrifying.

At this time, a swift black-clothed figure with a knife leaped down from the top of the high-rise staircase, and without stopping after landing, it quickly bypassed the corner of the staircase, and jumped down again, like an agile spirit monkey, falling unscathed on the next staircase.

In less than a minute, the young man in black with a knife had fallen from the top stairs of the twelfth floor to the ground at the bottom exit.

Out of the staircase, there is a bright, dimly lit parking lot.

This young man with a knife in black is naturally Xu Bai, who has just taken over the task of regional competition.

The reason why he didn't take the elevator downstairs was because after the hemovirus riot last night, the elevator in this residential building was damaged by people infected with the hemophore, and now it has broken down and is no longer usable.

"About three minutes left..."

Xu Bai glanced at the countdown to the mission displayed on the armed coat of arms, raised his head, looked at the six directions, listened to all directions, and turned around the very spacious ground floor parking lot in front of him with a calm gaze like water, and in the process, his eyes stayed slightly in a few dark corners in the distance that he couldn't see clearly, but his face did not show any expression changes.

The entire ground floor parking lot is very quiet, and the criss-crossing lanes are blocked by a chaotic clash of various cars, and the scene is extremely chaotic.

The corpses of more than a dozen residents were scattered sideways, dark red blood spilling everywhere, as if they were silently telling something.

Xu Bai shook the Glaive Knife in his hand and strode towards the exit of the parking lot, the sound of footsteps clearly echoed in this quiet and dim space.

Like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, he moved, and a series of strange noises suddenly appeared in the originally quiet parking lot, coming from all dark corners.

Immediately after, there were a series of low, deep, evil screams.

"One, two, three... There are five in total. ”

Xu Bai's face did not change, and at the same time as he counted silently in his heart, a strong and bloated figure covered in black gas walked out of those dark corners, his steps were heavy and powerful, and a pair of scarlet blood pupils stared at Xu Bai who was standing in the middle of the parking lot, and he did not hide the strong desire to devour in his eyes.

These guys with bloody bodies and hideous faces are naturally the blood virus infections that changed last night.

Xu Bai keenly sensed that after a night of crazy killing, the aura of the five blood virus infections that appeared in the parking lot on the ground floor was obviously much stronger.

This is also the most terrifying thing about the blood-scare virus infected, "they" can achieve the magical effect of improving their combat effectiveness by constantly devouring human flesh and blood.

This kind of improvement is very obvious in the early end times, as more and more flesh is devoured and absorbed, whether it is strength, speed, or reaction, it will be strengthened to varying degrees.

When this continuous reinforcement reaches a critical point, as long as it is stimulated by a certain factor, "they" can undergo a higher level of evolution, just like a qualitative change from a quantitative change, to a new realm.

At that time, the lethality of "their" will reach a rather terrifying level.

What's even more terrifying is that this is not an individual event, but a huge number of biochemical changes; The speed of its evolution is far beyond human imagination.

So much so that not long after, even all kinds of military weapons of mass destruction of mankind could not inflict a fatal blow on them, and they could only watch the frenzy of the end times sweep across the world, and all mankind fell into endless panic and despair.

In this process, the seemingly extraordinary armed ability actually plays the role of struggling to survive.

Even because of the existence of armed coats of arms, they often have to fall into life and death crises again and again, and it is difficult to escape.

And as a reborn, Xu Bai is well aware of the essence of the existence of armed heraldry.

It seems to have given some human beings enough power, but at the same time, it is also imperceptibly controlling every armed person and secretly manipulating everyone's fate.

However, it is not omnipotent – its existence is also limited by certain rules.

If you can find some of these rule loopholes, you can even have unexpected gains.

But no matter what, the main factor that determines whether each armed person can survive and go further is whether his own strength is strong or not from beginning to end.

Xu Bai knows very well that as long as the armed ability can pass every critical life and death test and become strong enough, then the influence that the armed heraldic can exert will become smaller and smaller, and some super powerhouses in the future will even be able to completely get rid of its control, regain their freedom, and truly dominate one side.

Of course, these are still very distant things for Xu Bai now, so let's get down to business now.

Although the strength of these five blood virus infections has improved compared to yesterday, after a night of hard work, Xu Bai's strength has also improved significantly.

For Xu Bai, at the moment, these mutated creatures that are still in the primary stage of evolution, even if they are five people together, they still can't pose a real threat to his life.

At this moment, he was holding the Glaive Knife with a faint green glow in his hand, and suddenly jumped forward, jumped over the roof of a two-box car blocking in front of him, and walked towards the exit of the parking lot at an accelerated speed.

Roar!

As soon as he moved, the other five Blood Demon Virus infectates immediately responded, and they all opened their sharp fingers and claws, rushing towards Xu Bai from different directions, and their momentum was extremely fierce.

Directly in front of Xu Bai's walk, there happened to be a female hemolytic virus infected person about forty years old blocking the way.

When the two were less than five meters apart, Xu Bai suddenly increased his speed, and he took a big stride and dodged forward a long distance, leaving a clear footprint on the spot.

Before the person landed, the glaive knife in his hand had already turned into a swift green light, and he slashed down the female person infected with the blood virus on the head.

Wind Slash!

After the ultimate speed coefficient broke through 1 point, Xu Bai's speed explosiveness increased significantly, plus the ultimate strength coefficient of 1.3 and the more lethal glaive knife, the power of this knife increased by at least 50% when it killed a patient with mutant disease in the hospital yesterday-

Poof!

The middle-aged female person infected with the blood virus had just raised her hands, and the incomparably sharp Glaive Knife swept past her neck, like a knife slashing tofu, and her body was in a different place in an instant.

A stream of black and red blood erupted from its broken neck, and its body shook, still standing.

Xu Bai, who killed the enemy with one sword, sneered, did not stop at all, and took the initiative to walk towards another bald male blood virus infected person who was close by, and his eyes became cold!

Two minutes laterβ€”

Xu Bai, dressed in striking black and unscathed, walked out of the parking lot on the ground floor with a slowly dripping blood-dripping glaive, stopped, looked up at the towering residential buildings shrouded in thick white mist, and slowly lowered his gaze and landed on the pebble roads deep in the green belt downstairs.

At the same time, the prompt of the armed coat of arms also sounded in his head:

"Note: The strongest contenders in this regional multiplayer confrontation combat mission are officially opened!"
