Chapter 7: Evolving Xenomorphs

When the slanting sun stretched Liu Cheng's figure with a golden glow, and then cast it on the dilapidated and desolate streets, the loneliness in it was difficult to explain in words. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When a person falls into contemplation or confusion, he often has no concept of time, sitting quietly on the steps in front of the supermarket, Liu Cheng is unaware of the arrival of the sunset, until a low roar comes from behind, he has a little vigilance, and he recovers from the confusion. At the same time, a strong wind hit behind him, and Liu Cheng, who had not yet figured out what was going on, instinctively sensed that the danger was approaching, and the whole person instinctively wanted to get up to avoid the invasion behind him. After all, although I was confused, I didn't know how to go on tomorrow, and I even doubted the meaning of life. However, this does not make a person lose their instinctive desire to survive. Therefore, when he sensed the danger coming, although his brain was still in a state of confusion, the combat instinct that had been trained for more than a month made the most direct decision without the command of his brain, which was to dodge.

It's just a pity that Liu Cheng's instinctive dodge didn't completely work, he was still hit by something behind him, and fell out a few meters away, at this time Liu Cheng completely woke up from the hun and found that no part of his body was not sore, and even his actions were affected. With a low word of "unlucky", Liu Cheng quickly got up and took off the big knife on his back to face the thing that attacked him, only to find out that it was also a xenomorph, but this xenomorph was very different from what he had seen before.

It is almost two meters tall, and its muscles are massed and full, giving it a feeling of strength, unlike most other xenos who are shriveled by the lack of moisture in their muscles due to sun exposure. Looking at the muscles glowing with a bit of black metallic color, Liu Cheng also muttered a little in his heart: "I don't know how defensive this guy is, but that thing must be quite explosive, it can be seen from the sneak attack just now, fortunately, that claw caught the big knife, otherwise it is likely that I will also become one of them." It's just a pity that this big knife is a big knife. ”

But it's a pity, the enemy doesn't have so much time to sigh at the moment. While paying attention to the movements of the alien on the other side, he slowly enlivened his stiff body. While the xenomorphs were staring at him, Liu Cheng gave the thorn vine an attack order. The thorn vine was originally on the side behind the alien, and when he received the order to attack, he was unceremonious, six or seven rattans were wound into thick vines, according to Liu Cheng's attack instructions, one swung down the back of the xenomorph's neck, and the other two wrapped the left and right feet of the xenomorph and dragged them backwards, so that the xenomorph stood unsteadily under the sneak attack of the thorn vine and rushed forward, Liu Cheng saw the right time to step forward and rush up, and when he staggered with the xenomorph, the big knife came out, and the fiery red fireworks wrapped the blade, Diagonally picking the neck of the alien from the bottom up, as the flame knife hit the neck of the alien, just listening to the ding, Liu Cheng felt that the big knife in his hand was a little lighter, and the big knife that had been caught out of the crack because of the sneak attack of the alien collided with the alien again, and it was very honorably broken into two sections. However, this little episode did not affect Liu Cheng's next moves. After staggering, he did not move away from the xenomorph, but suddenly turned around, and the sword in his hand spewed out a meter-long flame and slashed at the back of the neck of the xenomorph who was rushing forward. However, this slash did not produce the desired results. Not only did this xenomorph's skin harden and its defense power greatly exceeded that of the xenomorphs he had encountered before, but it also had a great degree of resistance to this low-temperature flame, and the time of this flame was too little and too short.

Although the two attacks were real attacks to the point, it was a pity that the first knife only left a faint shallow mark on the xenomorph, and the flames attached to the knife did not leave a trace on the xenomorph at all, and the second blow only left a black burn mark on the xenomorph's body, making him howl in pain. Seeing that the attack was ineffective, Liu Cheng did not love to fight, and quickly left the xenomorph's side to avoid being attacked by them.

"That's not good, the attack doesn't work, and it's a hair. It seems that you have to hurry up and find enough materials to build a weapon of your own, otherwise you will only be deflated when you encounter such a guy in the future. Liu Cheng stood aside and let the thorn vine harass the xenomorph for a while, and did not fight with it, that is, it could not get up to attack him, while he observed the xenomorph and wanted to find other weaknesses in order to attack. It's just that after observing for a long time, there is no gain, which makes Liu Cheng a little disappointed. Instead, observe and compare the differences between this xenomorph and other xenomorphs.

It was just a cursory glance just now, and I didn't have time to think about it in a hurry, and now I have time to take a closer look. "This should be regarded as an evolved xenomorph, with height, strength, flexibility, and defense all strengthened compared to the previous xenomorphs. But all aspects are not particularly prominent, I don't know how many of these xenos have evolved now, and how many xenos will continue to evolve in the future? It's a bit tricky for me to deal with this kind of guy who has evolved for the first time, so what if I meet someone who has evolved twice, three or four times? Do you run away every time? It seems that I have to think about the way forward. ”

After suppressing these thoughts, Liu Cheng turned around and went back to the supermarket to find a solid steel rod and was about to go to find the xenomorph again, but unexpectedly, a burst of thorn vine pain came from his mind. When they got around the shelves, they saw that the xenomorph had already stood up, and there was a severed vine on the ground, apparently the xenomorph had broken the vine wrapped around his ankle. The xenomorph who was about to rush to the thorn vine to avenge the trapped just now saw Liu Cheng, the red light in his eyes was sheng, and he rushed towards Liu Cheng after giving up the thorn vine, and his arms danced loudly with a gust of wind. And at this time, the thorn vine stumbled on it again under the command of Liu Cheng.

I saw that the flying xenomorph suddenly pounced forward, lying on the ground and sliding towards Liu Cheng at the door of the supermarket, Liu Cheng was not hypocritical when he saw this, a leaping hand held a solid steel rod, and all the fire magic in the body was transmitted to the other end of the steel rod through the steel rod without suppression, but unfortunately the flame power increased a lot, but the steel rod was very faceless to soften, and the powerful blow finally ended with the bending of the steel rod, fortunately, this blow was not without gain. Although most of the fire magic power was consumed on the steel rod, and because it did not last long, it failed to ignite the xenomorph, but the short heat also burned the eyes of the xenomorphs, and it was too late to attack Liu Cheng, and he rolled on the ground with his hands covering his eyes.

"It seems that the evolved xenomorphs have begun to develop pain, and are no longer painless like ordinary xenos. I remember that the slash of flame just now made it howl in pain. Could it be that these guys can evolve into human-like beings in the future? Although he was thinking about things, Liu Cheng didn't have the slightest intention of slowing down. Another pointed steel bar was brought to his hand, and at the same time, a small basin-sized ice ball smashed into the xenomorph's face, and the steel bar stabbed into the frozen brittle skin one after another, but this time it failed to cause pain to the xenomorph, and the steel bar was obviously unable to pierce the xenomorph's skull. Think about it, the frozen muscles are not felt, and the skull is the hardest bone in the human body, how can it be so easy to destroy.

This freeze is not known for good or bad, breaking through the xenomorph's defenses, but infinitely weakening the pain of its eyes. The xenomorph who was no longer in such pain rolled over and got up, and grabbed Liu Cheng's face with a wave of his claws, taking Liu Cheng off guard. Seeing that the sharp nails that were five or six centimeters long and flashing black suddenly hit the front door, Liu Cheng was a little panicked for a while. Although he had been fighting with the xenomorphs for more than a month, he had never faced such danger, as if death was imminent, and he could even feel the cold chill on his fingernails. The instinctive Liu Cheng mobilized the ice and fire magic in his body, and wanted to resist, whether he could succeed or not, he had to do it, although he was confused, but he was not willing to give up easily, this is the instinct of people to survive. Driven by instinct, Liu Cheng raised his left and right hands violently, the blue ice ball in his left hand, and the fiery red and scorching fireball in his right hand smashed towards the body of the alien who was close at hand. The xenomorph was blown up from the chest down to the point where the explosion occurred on his body, and he lost his ability to move. And Liu Cheng is not so miserable because of his resistance to ice and fire energy. But he was also torn apart by the shock wave of the explosion, and a large part of the muscles were shattered, and he fell to the ground, spitting blood, and was also incapacitated.
