Chapter 38: Saving Lives
As Jinbao swallowed the gene core, a hazy light slowly surged up on its body, and the moment the gene core entered its body, it was immediately decomposed into countless pure genetic energy, which flowed throughout its whole body, and finally poured into its own gene core.
And under this hazy light, the wounds on Jinbao's body also began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it didn't take long for the injuries on its body to recover.
This is the effect of engulfing the nucleus of a gene.
It stands to reason that if an ordinary person, or a zombie or alien beast that has not yet mutated, after devouring the gene nucleus, it is possible that it will evolve and have the ability.
The nucleus is like a key that opens the door that lurks deep in your genes and frees up your own power.
However, people and alien beasts like Duan Fei and Jinbao who have already awakened, after devouring the gene core again, the gene core will not let him evolve, but will be decomposed by their bodies into the purest genetic energy, and when the genetic energy accumulates to a certain level and has enough strength to unlock the genetic chain, they will evolve again.
After eating the genetic nucleus of the mutant lizard, Jinbao's body slowly became smaller, and finally turned into its original appearance, and quickly ran to Duan Fei's side.
It rubbed its head against Duan Fei's face, as if it was coquettish to him, wanting Duan Fei to praise him for his performance just now.
It's still a child's heart!
Duan Fei smiled slightly, and said helplessly: "Good job, worthy of praise!" After saying that, he patted it on the head as a sign of encouragement.
After hearing Duan Fei's words, Jinbao happily jumped up and down on the ground, his fluffy tail wagging non-stop, and his mouth kept making strange cries of "coo, coo".
Looking at it like this, Duan Fei couldn't help but wonder. Although Jinbao looks majestic, like a divine beast. However, he is a husky in his bones after all, and the characteristics of selling cute and guilty will never change with its evolution.
Knowing that it had the ability to "shapeshift", Duan Fei asked it to make its body a little smaller, and by the way, he also withdrew his wings. The next place he was going to was a shelter protected by the army, and Duan Fei didn't want to bring a monster over.
After hearing Duan Fei's words, although Jinbao was a little reluctant, he obediently turned into a puppy, and then lay on Duan Fei's shoulder, squinting his eyes, and dozing.
Glancing at it, Duan Fei smiled faintly, stepped over the corpse of the mutant lizard, and walked in the direction of the shelter.
The zombies on the road still keep appearing, but there are many fewer than just now. Some intelligent mutant zombies, after feeling the aura of Jinbao's superior who was lying on Duan Fei's body, fled here one after another, and they didn't dare to lean over at all. The only ones who are not afraid of death are those low-level zombies who do not have any IQ.
In the face of these low-level zombies, Duan Fei didn't need to care at all, the iron rod in his hand danced at will, and their heads were directly shattered, killing them with one blow.
However, the deeper he walked into the city, the more and more zombies there were, and Duan Fei was not very annoyed, so he couldn't help but speed up in the end, trying to avoid these zombies instead of killing them.
Walk slowly forward.
That's when ......
"Bang!" , A gunshot broke the silence of the city, Duan Fei's body was slightly stunned, and his right foot that stepped out stopped in the air.
"Gunshots, survivors! Or the army? Duan Fei's eyes flashed with thought.
However, at this time, several gunshots were heard not far away, and listening to the sounds, it seemed that the person who fired the shot was in a fierce battle.
After hearing these dense gunshots, Duan Fei didn't hesitate and rushed directly in the direction where the gunshots came from.
It is impossible for ordinary civilians to possess these firearms and weapons, and even if they looted a police station, they would not be able to obtain any powerful weapons. Listening to the dense gunfire, it should be more likely that the army is more likely.
Thinking of this, Duan Fei's face slowly turned cold.
He still vividly remembered the tragic battle with Ma Long's group of soldiers that day, and Duan Fei did not have a good impression of these soldiers.
However, Duan Fei would not kill them, because he was not the kind of bloodthirsty person who was easy to kill, and because he had infiltrated the shelter, Duan Fei wanted their help.
Listening to the sound of gunfire at this moment, Duan Fei knew that they had obviously fallen into a bitter battle. Shooting and fighting in the city is, in his opinion, simply an act of looking for death. But if you want their help, you have to win their favor.
Right now, the perfect opportunity is just in front of Duan Fei.
……
On a dilapidated street corner, more than a dozen zombies pounced quickly with their teeth and claws.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
After a series of gunshots, several bullets hit the zombies in the front row, hitting their bodies only slightly blocking their tracks. Occasionally, a few bullets hit their heads, killing them.
"Captain Cao, what should I do, there are too many zombies, and only headshots can kill them, we don't have many bullets left!" A soldier with short hair and a somewhat slender figure asked with a panicked face.
The Type 95 automatic rifle in Cao Silong's hand was spitting flames, and he quickly retreated, his body already soaked with sweat, and his face flashed with determination.
"Xiao Qin, don't be distracted, protect the civilians first, and I'll cover your retreat!" Cao Silong stared at the zombies rushing in front of him and roared in a low voice.
Behind them, there were a man and two women, one of whom was holding a little girl about five years old. Their faces were filled with horror, and they trembled with fear at the scene before them.
"Brother Cao!" Hearing Cao Silong's words, the other young soldier's eyes turned red, and he almost cried: "Brother Cao, what do you say, if we leave, how can you deal with so many zombies."
"Captain Cao, let's go together!" The young soldier named Xiao Qin also roared.
Hearing the excited words of his subordinates, Cao Silong's nose was sour, and he almost cried.
His eyes were cold, and in addition to the warmth in his heart, there was also a suppressed anger to the extreme.
Today he was ordered to carry out a mission, with seven of his subordinates. However, what he didn't expect was that the engine of the military car suddenly broke down halfway through.
You must know that all kinds of equipment in the general army will be regularly inspected and repaired in normal times, and basically there will be no such sudden failures. However, this kind of thing happened to it.
Cao Silong can mix to this extent at a young age, and his mind is brighter than a mirror. Almost instantly, he guessed that someone had done something in the car.
He had never offended anyone in the army, and the possibility of seeking revenge was basically zero. The only possibility is a dispute between power and partisanship, and if so, the mastermind behind the scenes is already on the rise.
"Guan Zhonghua, if Cao Silong can go back alive, this account will be settled with you sooner or later!" Cao Silong roared in his heart.
Along the way, he has lost four brothers in the face of constant harassment from zombies. Now, that's all there is left.
Xiao Qin's face was ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Captain, it's really not good, let's give up these people, there are too many zombies, we can't protect ourselves, how can we protect others!"
Hearing this, the faces of the survivors behind changed their faces, and a trace of horror appeared on their faces.
"Sir, you can't just leave us behind, as soldiers, your duty is to protect the safety of us ordinary people...... "One of the aunts, who was almost forty years old, cried out.
", shut your foul mouth!" Xiao Qin's eyes were red, and he yelled, "If it weren't for saving you, how could we be at this point!"
The aunt's face turned pale, obviously frightened by Xiao Qin.
"Enough!" Cao Silong's face was gloomy, and he said: "Have you forgotten how Commander Luo taught us, the natural responsibility of a soldier is to protect the safety of the people." Don't talk nonsense, honestly retreat with them, this is the order! ”
The three soldiers clenched their fists and gave Cao Silong a standard military salute seriously: "Yes, captain, I promise to complete the task." You must come back alive, though! They reloaded the bullets and shouted to the survivors, "Follow me, watch the speed, don't lose it!"
As he spoke, the three soldiers turned around and were about to retreat to the rear.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden exclamation from the crowd, and the woman holding the child pointed not far away, with a look of surprise on her face.
"Look, what's that?"
Everyone was slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked in the direction she pointed.
I saw that not far away, there were still a large number of zombies pouring over, but among the zombies, there was a person rushing in the zombie group, dancing up and down with an iron rod in his hand, and he was slaughtering these zombies in front of him.
"That's ......"
"How is that possible?" Cao Silong exclaimed, his eyes revealing endless ecstasy.
