Chapter 22: A Sleep Mummy

"I was wrong, I really shouldn't have made a wish to God. Actually, I don't particularly want to eat wolf meat, I'd rather be chased by a wolf who loves to spit missiles than be eaten by this dryad who incarnates as an octopus monster. In other words, isn't the octopus monster supposed to be paired with a beautiful girl or something? Tearing clothes, playing with bondage in wicked positions, and some of the strange moans that the girls make. Why am I coming across something different? Is it because of the relationship between plants? ”

In the face of more and more roots breaking through the ground, Li Gang had the urge to cry, and said in his heart: "This tree demon comrade, for the sake of me alone, why do you dispatch so many roots?" I asked myself if I hadn't done anything to be sorry for the tree, and even if I did, it wouldn't have anything to do with it, and if he dared to lift the roots of the tree and let me go, I'd have poured urine on him another day as a thank you gift! ”

"Whoosh" The roots of the tree twitched and made a terrifying sound of breaking wind, and a whole five roots thicker than Li Gang's waist were pumped together to the place where Li Gang was staying, directly smashing the ruins and the ground into a big hole.

The number of roots present had increased from two to thirteen, and Li Gang suspected that the tree had released all the roots in his direction, but why? Li Gang couldn't figure out how he had offended this tree, as if he had to kill himself. Is this bit of meat really that attractive? I was chased by the wind demon wolf before, and I can understand that I was hated for farting at it, what is wrong with this tree? It can't be jealous because I'm handsome.

Li Gang ran between the ruins with all his strength to dodge, even if Yuan Li was facing exhaustion again, he did not dare to relax in the slightest, because this deadly tree root had always been chasing and intercepting him, and now it was only a little slower than him, as long as he slowed down a little, he would be drawn into two pieces or skewered into human meat skewers.

Several times he tried to get out of the root system coverage of this octopus tree, but he was forced back by intensive attacks, and what was worse was that Li Gang found that the main distance between himself and the octopus tree was shortening, and the tree actually deliberately forced him towards the trunk! This tree doesn't have eyes, why can it grasp its movements so accurately, what does it rely on to perceive, if you can figure out this, the possibility of escaping will be greatly increased. The octopus tree, this is the image named by Li Gang for the strange tree.

The octopus tree will not give Li Gang time to think carefully, and in the face of the increasingly dense root attack, Li Gang began to feel difficult to dodge, and the most important thing was that the Yuan Li, which had not recovered much, bottomed out again.

"Your sister, don't let me get a chance, otherwise I will definitely chop you into firewood and burn you to ashes!" Ruthless words are currently Li Gang's only way to attack, maybe this octopus tree will be frightened by his cruel words? Dream!

"Bump!" A tree root was evacuated again, Li Gang had already flashed five meters away, and before his feet could be implemented, the other two tree roots in front and back, one left and one right, swept towards Li Gang's left chest and right waist respectively with a sharp sound of breaking the air. Whether it's forward or backward, you can't dodge, and generally in this case, you should jump up to avoid this kind of sweeping attack with full coverage, but 'jumping up' is what Li Gang tries to avoid, because once his feet are off the ground, his body is completely vacated and there is no force point, which undoubtedly puts himself in the position of the target. With the reaction speed of this octopus tree and the attack speed of the roots, the time between fully jumping up and falling back to the ground by gravity is enough for the roots to skewer him into a meat skewer more than five times. The most recent negative textbook is Yu Ming, who was shot by Li Gang with a flying knife. It was precisely because he used a jump in the dodge, causing his body to be in the air for a short time and unable to disguise himself in time.

When the tree root was about to sweep Li Gang, he suddenly jumped up, but not the kind of high jump, he kicked the ground with both feet in reverse to produce torque, causing his body to roll and flip rapidly in the direction of the swept tree root, and the two tree roots swept up and down Li Gang without touching his body at all. At the moment when the tree root and Li Gang's body were staggered, Li Gang, who was rolling rapidly, suddenly made a move, grabbed the tree root that swept from below, and rotated just enough to give the body that grabbed the tree root to bear the instantaneous acceleration force A small buffer, and did not get out of his hand because of this sudden acceleration of the huge force.

"Whoosh!" Li Gang grabbed the root of the tree and was quickly thrown out, flying towards the range of the octopus tree's root system.

Li Gang's approach is very risky, and if he fails, he is likely to fall to the ground because of his hands, so he will really become a live target before he lands at a slower speed. Of course, if you succeed, you will be thrown away by the roots of the tree at a very high speed, just like now, and escape! Li Gang is a person who hates to gamble on luck, there is a sentence he likes very much, and takes it as his motto: people, you must rely on yourself!

You can trust others and cooperate with each other, but you can never rely on others, let alone completely unreliable God and luck!

It seems that Li Gang's approach is like betting on luck, but it is not. This is completely determined by ability, if you have the courage and skill to be able to grasp it is success, if you fail, it can only mean that the level is so, and it has nothing to do with luck. It's not a gamble, it's a fight! Li Gang has reached the point where he has to fight, and the yuan force is not enough to continue to maintain this high-speed evasion, and if he doesn't fight, he will die. If Li Gang is now waiting for the octopus tree to slip his hand, no, it is the root that slips and can't hit him, or if a powerful mutant beast and the octopus tree trunk suddenly popped up, so that the tree has no time to give Li Gang a chance to escape, this is just trying luck, or waiting for luck.

Is the 5 Million jackpot a good one? Not good. Those who are still waiting for the great luck to come to save their lives at the moment of life and death are really brain-dead. Not everyone has a hero who jumps out to save in a moment of crisis, unless you are the beautiful girl protagonist of a shoujo manga!

Sometimes I have to admit that God is a guy who doesn't like to play cards according to common sense. Li Gang saw that victory was in sight, and there was nothing to stop him from escaping from this damn octopus tree, and even if this octopus tree really had eyes, he could only watch him fly out of the attack range of the roots.

It's a pity that Li Gang was wrong, it was very wrong, this tree doesn't have eyes, so it doesn't need to look at it at all, it relies on a way that is much more accurate than using eyes to lock on to its prey. Therefore, as long as the speed of the prey is lower than its perceived speed and passive reflex speed, it is impossible to escape.

"Bump" another root system broke through the ground, and the position was exactly in front of the side of Li Gang's escape direction. The tree root broke through the soil and pulled it directly at Li Gang's head without stopping.

Because this sudden attack was so fast, Li Gang didn't see it clearly at all, but this cold and piercing sense of crisis made him clearly understand how terrible the volley under the back attack was.

"It's miserable!"

"Bang" Li Gang was sturdy by the roots of the tree, and then smashed into the ground like a cannonball, and the strong impact smashed the ground out of a pit.

Li Gang felt that his whole body was really scattered this time, and he seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking just now. The arm bones and sternum should have been shattered, but under this kind of attack, they were not slapped into pulp, which was quite surprising to Li Gang.

At the last moment just now, Li Gang relied on his extraordinary reaction to twist his body in the air to withstand the attack head-on. Cover the head and chest with both arms, curl the body to reduce the stress surface, and squeeze every trace of elemental force in the cells to gather in the arms and in front of the body for the last resistance.

But the force of the tree's root was amazing, and the last little bit of Yuan Force defense had no effect at all, and Li Gang's body almost completely withstood the force of the volley. So Li was surprised that he was still alive just now, was his body really that hard, or was he merciful under the roots of the octopus tree? It didn't matter anymore, because now his physical condition couldn't dodge the next attack at all.

"That's it? Isn't it time for the small universe to explode, explode the nucleus, and then flatten the enemy into scum? ”

In fact, Li Gang found that he had reached a bottleneck a few days ago, and after learning about the evolutionary level, he also thought that he might be about to advance, but it seemed that he still owed something shortcoming, and he could not take the last step. Just now, the attack of the tree root brought Li Gang an unprecedented sense of crisis, and at that moment, the highly tense spirit and the violent sense of crisis made Li Gang even think that the next moment would be the 'small universe explosion' to break through to the middle level, and then dashingly split this nasty octopus tree into firewood. However, what Li Gang ushered in was not an advancement, it was still a swift and unabated root volley.

"It seems that I'm going to miss the appointment, Xiaowei will probably be angry, but this is a special situation that should be understandable. I didn't think that my promising young man in the new century would die on a tree, not hanged yet! Li Gang smiled bitterly and coughed up blood, not knowing whether it was a shock to the lobe of the lung or a puncture by a broken sternum.

Dragging his seriously injured body, Li Gang barely stood up, although the current situation is slim, but not being able to do it is not the same thing as not doing anything. He will never admit defeat until the last moment, and even at the last moment, Li Gang will not admit defeat! The next blow to the forward step is Li Gang's last chance!

"Give me a breakthrough, hurry," Li Gang shouted in his heart, he was now injured in his lungs, and it was difficult to breathe, so he could only shout in his heart.

Dozens of seconds passed

"What's the situation?" Li Gang did not break through, and the fatal next blow did not come. The roots of the octopus tree quickly retracted into the ground, leaving only this piece of dilapidated ruins and Li Gang with a question mark on his head.

"You won't really be intimidated by my momentum, will you? What's going on? It took so much effort to beat me half to death, and then just finish the work so quietly? ”

Why would the octopus tree let itself go? This question will not be mentioned for the time being, the most important thing for the time being is to get out of this hellish place as soon as possible, and who knows if this tree will suddenly change its mind again.

It took half an hour for Li to come to a building two kilometers away from the octopus tree. This is an eight-story office building, which was originally a low building in T City. Now, in the past, those high-rise buildings were basically lying on the ground, but this building is still standing well, which shows that its quality is excellent. Although most of the buildings in T City have collapsed, there are still occasionally two good quality buildings that have not fallen, like this one.

Li Gang hid in a room on the seventh floor, closing all the doors and windows. The reason why this building was chosen was from a safety point of view.

First of all, Li Gang carefully observed along the way, and there was no sign of ground turning in this vicinity, which showed that it was beyond the range of the octopus tree's root attack. Secondly, this place is not very far from the tree, judging from the aggressiveness of the tree, this octopus tree should belong to a powerful predatory mutated creature, which will have a somewhat deterrent effect on other mutated creatures, which is also the reason why Li Gang has never even encountered a living dead along the way. In addition, in the room on the seventh floor, security is also guaranteed, even if mutant beasts and living dead really enter this building without opening their eyes, it is impossible to look for them next to the door, their IQ is really not that high.

Li Gang needs a relatively quiet and safe place to recuperate, and this is a good place. The room he was in looked like the office of the former head of a unit. Comfortable boss chairs, shiny hardwood floors, spacious desks, some papers and a laptop on the table (don't be surprised, all four of our company bosses use laptops, and they don't take them with them after work.) ), a glass coffee table and a leather sofa, as well as a water dispenser and a Xiaoice box in the corner.

I took a paper cup and put a glass of water on the side, and opened the Xiaoice box smoothly. The refrigerator has been powered off, and there are no alcoholic beverages except drinks in it, and they are all juice green tea and the like. Li Gang sweated, I really don't know what this boss thinks. Looking at the paper cup in his hand, Li Gang drank it dry in one gulp, and then took out a bottle of sports drink and opened the lid and drank it. Drinks that used to cost a few dollars are hard to drink now.

As for why the things here are so well preserved, because the destruction day is in the middle of the night, there is no work here, the survivors fled at the beginning, and when the earthquake here calmed down and they were about to come back to pack their things, the living dead came out, so in the end a lot of things were preserved. And the IQ of the living dead and mutant beasts is not enough to loot supplies.

After drinking the drink in one go, the hunger in my stomach was slightly relieved. It's not bad to be full of water if you haven't eaten. Then Li Gang rummaged through the drawers and cabinets, and finally found something to eat in a drawer, two packets of candy! It is estimated that there are employees in this company who get married and have children and the like to give the leader a happy candy, and the leader doesn't like to eat it, so he put it cheaply Li Gang.

The grade of these candy is quite high, but Li Gang didn't have the heart to taste it, and after a while, he swallowed the whole bag of dates, this sugar is quite manageable, and he won't be hungry soon after eating.

After a general examination of the body, there was basically no problem on the surface, and no misalignment of the bones was found. "Could it be that the sound of bones breaking was an illusion? Either way, it's always a good thing, and it seems like I'm a tough guy too. Very hard! That kind of attack, even if the steel and iron bones will be knocked into discus, he is fine, and this abnormal recovery speed, it seems that this body has some secrets that he doesn't know, and he has a chance to study it well, and it is imperative to recuperate his injuries first. Paying attention, Li Gang checked the doors and windows again, and closed the curtains before lying down on the sofa, now he needs to rest and give his body time to recover on its own.

Counting the lattices of the ceiling, Li Gang calmed down and thought about today's encounter. Reflecting on and summarizing afterwards, this is a habit of his. Make the same mistake twice, it's a pig!

The scenes of today's encounter from morning to now are replayed in Li Gang's mind.

First of all, the first wave of attacks by the living dead, more than a dozen, all of them are cannon fodder-level, nothing special, and I didn't notice anything abnormal at the time, but now it seems weird enough. How could the living dead under the wisdom sneak attack at the same time so neatly, or fly in unison, why didn't they run from the ground, and they were so self-disciplined, none of them screamed before the sneak attack, like a well-trained army. If you think about it, you can think of something controlling them, and that's a point.

Then, I ran into an inhuman disguised as a baby. Although the abnormality was found at that time, it was not given great attention, and it was not far away but closer, because there were many people, so it was paralyzed and relaxed its vigilance? If you encounter this kind of weird baby alone, you will definitely not approach it easily.

Then there was the brain-dead man who jumped out at the last moment to grab the monster, his behavior was really suspicious, and the timing of his appearance was too coincidental, although he was not pleasing to the eye at the time, but he didn't pay enough attention to it, and only regarded him as a guy who loved to pick up cheap and be a hero, and never expected his sinister intentions. If you don't trust your instincts and look around, I'm afraid that if you are unprepared by the living dead making dumplings and the brainless man's inside and outside, no one in the rescue team will be able to escape.

That purple-haired stupid wolf? There's nothing to say, I can only say that I'm unlucky, I've been chasing it for so long.

Finally, there is the octopus tree, which has the most questions about this strange tree. It can cast paralyzing poison gas, which can be brought down even by high-level mutant beasts, but the poison gas disappears after the root of the tree attacks, why not keep it? What's worse is that this tree has an extraordinary target detection system, which can quickly and accurately capture the location of the target and react. If it was able to capture the target location so accurately, why did it stop attacking as if it couldn't see itself after shooting down itself that was about to escape? Li Gang keenly felt that there must be a reason for this, and this reason was related to the way the octopus tree locked the target.

What exactly does it rely on to 'see'? Ray? It's unlikely, if you rely on light to lock onto the target, you can be accurately attacked by moving so fast before, and then why does it turn a blind eye when it stands there and is unobstructed? Is it like a frog that only has 'vision' for moving objects? It doesn't make sense, if that's the case, when you leave, you leave on foot, and there is no teleportation!

To start from yourself, before and after being hit, what is the difference between yourself that causes the octopus tree to 'invisible' itself. Comparing the various conditions of his body at that time, Li Gang's eyes widened suddenly, and he thought of it.

"Yuan Li! That's right, it's Yuanli. Since entering the attack range of the octopus tree, both he and the purple-haired wolf have Yuan power, and it was not until he was hit by the root of the tree that he used up the last Yuan power to defend, so that the Yuan power on his body was completely exhausted, and the octopus tree stopped attacking. Although this is only speculation, Li Gang is ninety percent sure.

"Grandma is a bear, she almost killed me, and when the injury is healed, I will take your surname if I don't chop you into waste!" Li Gang said to himself indignantly.

All morning, first inhuman, then brain-dead, and then the purple-haired wolf who chased relentlessly and the octopus tree that did not take the usual path, Li Gang had been in a high degree of mental tension and strenuous activities, and at this moment, as soon as he relaxed a little, he was sleepy and fell asleep.

Li Gang, who was sleeping, didn't know that his body was quietly changing. The arm bones, sternum and ribs, which were cracked by the blow, are healing rapidly and the bone is becoming harder. Not only the injured bones, but the bones all over the body are hardening, and if you listen carefully to Li Gang's body, you can not only hear his breathing and the sound of his heart beating strongly, but also the slight crisp sound from the bones.

At the same time, the elemental force generated by the cell is engulfed by the cell itself, to be precise, by each gene in the cell. Yuan Li enters every section of genes, providing energy for genes, and the genes of the whole body are being adjusted, and Li Gang's physical fitness is undergoing earth-shaking changes unconsciously.

What is evolution? To put it bluntly, it is the deformation of genes and the improvement of gene levels! However, every cell in the human body has genes, and each group of genes contains all the information of the body.

Li Gang had a dream, he felt very hungry, and then all kinds of delicacies appeared in front of him, he pounced on it to eat but found that the food was gone, and when he looked up, the food was flying in the sky, and he couldn't catch it

"Don't run!" Li Gang suddenly sat up from the sofa, his hands still stretched forward as if he was grabbing something.

"It's a pity!" Li Gang saw the room in front of him, sobered up, and remembered that he was resting in an abandoned building. However, the roast suckling pig I dreamed of just now, the roast wolf meat looks really delicious.

Li Gang unconsciously wiped his saliva and found that he was really hungry, this kind of hunger that penetrated into every cell seemed familiar, as if he had this feeling since the first few days he came out of the hospital!

Taking the remaining packet of candy from the table, Li Gang quickly tore open the package and stuffed the candy into his mouth. When he accidentally saw the reflection in the shiny glass tabletop, Leng Buding was almost frightened, and shouted: "Ghost! ”

"Wait a minute, why does this ghost look so familiar? Looks like me! Damn, this is my reflection! How so? Li Gang hurriedly threw himself in front of the half-length mirror next to the wall and looked into the mirror. The mirror is used to organize the instrument, and it is estimated that it is the first time that it reflects a virtuous guy like Li Gang.

From the mirror, Li Gang saw that he could no longer be described as yellow and thin, he was simply skinny and skinny, like a mummy crawling out of a coffin. The muscles were completely atrophied, the sallow and wrinkled skin was almost attached to the bones, the ribs on the chest were protruding, and the whole stomach was sunken against the back. It looks like a skull on its neck, its shriveled and sunken eye sockets make its two eyeballs stand out, and its lips can't even cover its teeth.

"What the hell is going on, that you can sleep like a dry corpse mummy?" Li Gang touched a handful of dry hair, and this one touched a piece. If you touch it two more times, won't you become bald?

However, the Yuan Force is still there, but very little, and Li Gang feels that these Yuan Forces are different from before, and the quality seems to be much better. For example, the previous Yuan Force was a gas, but now the Yuan Force has become a liquid!

Li Gang didn't know that he slept for eleven days, during which the water was not exhausted, let alone eat, ordinary people had already gone to Marx to get a bento.

In these eleven days of slumber, Li Gang's body finally completed the improvement of all genes, but the energy required for the improvement of the gene level was not enough, so he converted all the substances in the cells into energy to support evolution. The final result is that Li Gang has become the current "mummy".

After eating the candy in his hand, Li Gang searched a few rooms next door, and found three more packets as expected. After eating all the sugar and filling a bottle of juice, the body's hunger was finally temporarily relieved. However, this is only a delaying tactic, and it is only a matter of time before food is not found soon, and it is only a matter of time before they starve to death.

One thing made Li Gang very happy, he slept this time, except for turning himself into a mummy, the original injuries were actually healed! If there are no injuries, it will be much easier to move.

The only thing left to do is to find enough food to fill your stomach as soon as possible.
