Chapter 6: Confusion
The night of cultivation made Liu Cheng a little tired, but the summoning energy to break through to the fourth order still made him very happy in his heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "I just don't know when the fifth order will be reached?" Liu Cheng, who had only slept for two hours, watched the muddy river roll away while eating.
It has been a full month since the arrival of that legendary day, and there has not been a single rain in this month, except for a strange heavy rainstorm on the first day, and every day the sun shines on the earth, and there is a peaceful atmosphere. However, this peace was shattered by the xenos scurrying all over the land. During this month, Liu Cheng also rescued several groups of survivors who were besieged by xenomorphs, but he did not offer to take these people in, and these people did not think of seeking refuge with Liu Cheng, Liu Cheng naturally would not be stupid enough to ask for hardship. A month was only a blink of an eye for the previous world, but for people in the last days, it was like years.
In the past month, Liu Cheng has been training himself outside, trying to improve his close-quarters combat effectiveness. During this period, I naturally saw the various things that people are under the intertwining of hunger and danger. Some people are willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of their relatives and friends, and some people betray their relatives and friends behind their backs for themselves. These people can be trapped for so long, and they are scared to death when they see xenomorphs one by one, and rescuing them back to the cave is just a waste of supplies, and even looting supplies. These people may not dare to face the vicious aliens, but they absolutely dare to bully their own kind without moral pressure. Liu Cheng felt that it was better to let himself wander outside, and maybe he would be able to produce a few promising ones in the future and make some contributions to the survival of others. What's more important is that Liu Cheng is focused on improving his personal strength, how can he have the energy to care about others, he is now doing things mainly to improve his own strength, and the rest is just to do it by the way, inheritor, do whatever you want.
As soon as it was dawn that day, Liu Cheng took the thorn vine and left the hiding place by land along the path that had been cleared a few days ago. Today's destination is the town not far from the bottom of the mountain where the cliff is located, Liu Cheng used to bypass the town, but starting today, he decided to start training and fighting multiple xenomorphs. In the past, they used to go to more remote places to find trouble with a small number of xenomorphs, and practice the use of cold weapons one-on-one, although Liu Cheng has not used summoning energy to transform his body, but after a month of a lot of exercise and exercise, his body is much stronger than before, and at the same time, he also has a lot of experience in using big knives, whether it is chopping, picking, slashing, blocking, or mastering strength, and the accuracy of weak attacks is extremely proficient. Although there are no specific moves, they are still very powerful, after all, at least the xenomorphs encountered at this stage do not need to be dealt with with exquisite moves. Once you have mastered the basics, the next step is to use them more profoundly. In fact, there are many martial arts moves collected by previous inheritors in the Book of Inheritance, and even internal martial arts. But Liu Cheng doesn't plan to spend energy on it, a person's energy is limited, since the Book of Inheritance has opened up his ability, it means that this is what he is most suitable for, and there is no need to abandon the basics.
For moves, Liu Cheng prefers to have no moves to win, see the moves, and come to the same to respond to all changes. No matter how beautiful and exquisite the moves are, they can't compare to a practical one, so they don't learn it, but they only learn from some aspects. As for the cultivation of internal strength, in Liu Cheng's opinion, it is even more nonsense. He was opened by the Book of Inheritance with three kinds of energy, and these three energies are very practical, and at the same time, he is too busy to improve quickly, how can there be that bird time to practice an internal strength heart method. What's more, in a battle, Liu Cheng inadvertently discovered a new way to use ice and fire energy, that is, to transfer energy through cold weapons in close combat, which is also very powerful, and it is also very economical for energy. Since then, he has used this as a way of fighting, using his ability to carry out long-range attacks in the air as his hole card, and only secretly practicing and exploring the use of ice and fire energy. And Liu Cheng turned into an enchanted warrior, of course, this is just a good name for himself.
Enchantment, as the name suggests, is to attach magical energy to a weapon, and when the weapon causes damage to the enemy, the magical energy can increase the damage and even achieve additional effects. It's just that this kind of attack has quite high requirements for weapons, and ordinary weapons will be destroyed after a certain number of uses, so Liu Cheng had to go back to the storage room in Xianhai Park to transport all the weapons back. There is no way to do this, the magic conductivity of ordinary materials is too poor, and it can't conduct magic well, not to mention the power of the magic power, and the objects used to make conductive bodies will be slowly destroyed.
But for now, Liu Cheng has gained a lot of things in the past month, but none of them have good magic conductivity. In other words, the objects and materials that were often seen in human life in the past did not have good magical properties and could not be used as magical materials. And these items can't meet Liu Cheng's needs for making magic weapons. However, at this stage, due to the inability to find suitable materials, the original cold weapon had to be temporarily used, although the power was limited, but it did not affect the training of its proficiency.
When he came to the town, Liu Cheng didn't immediately go to the trouble of the xenomorphs, but made a detour to the other side of the town, he didn't want to lure the xenos to the bottom of the mountain because of his laziness for a while, which would pose a threat to the hiding place, after all, no one knew if there would be xenomorphs climbing up the mountain.
This town called Mojia is not very large, and the population of the town is about 30,000 or 40,000 people, but it is built very standardly. Because he was familiar with the town, Liu Cheng chose a place that was not densely populated as the entry point, which was also a good way to ensure safety and avoid trouble.
At the intersection into the town, three xenos wrapped in strips of cloth wandered aimlessly, their muscles shriveled and darkened by necrosis or the exposure to the sun over the past month, and they no longer looked like living people as they had been at the beginning. However, in the past month, the defenses of these xenomorphs' bodies have also strengthened a lot, and their speed has become much faster, and they have become more difficult than they were at the beginning. Seeing that there were only three aliens, and he felt that he could still deal with them, Liu Cheng rushed forward without saying a word, and a thin layer of flame suddenly ignited on the blade of the big knife in his hand, which was Liu Cheng's new use of fire ability - enchantment. However, due to the material limitations of the broadsword, the temperature of the flame was deliberately controlled by Liu Cheng to be relatively low, so as not to turn the broadsword into molten iron before killing the enemy. As the xenomorph approached, he quickly surrounded Liu Cheng, lowered his head to avoid the claws grabbed by his side, and the big knife swept behind him to cut a not deep wound in the abdomen of the xenomorph behind him, shaking it back, Liu Cheng quickly put the big knife across his chest to block the arms of the third xenomorph. At the same time, a faint flame seemed to be poured with oil, sprang from the wound of the xenomorph behind him, and burned to the rest of his body. It screamed so much that a pair of claws danced wildly, making Liu Cheng a little embarrassed. After swinging away the alien in front of him, Liu Cheng took a step to the left, and the big knife slashed out diagonally, and a flame suddenly burst out from the tip of the knife, slashing at the alien's neck like a legendary knife qi, and the flames quickly engulfed its head. And at this time, there was only one last xenomorph left, Liu Cheng didn't waste it, the big knife wiped towards his neck, and the flames on the blade quickly faded as the big knife approached the xenomorph, and the next second the xenomorph's head had already flown up, and the whole became the flower fertilizer of the thorn vine.
"This group of battles doesn't seem to be so easy to deal with, the most important thing is that it's not easy to defend behind the back, if you can look backwards." Liu Cheng simply summarized the battle just now and continued to walk towards the town.
After four or five hours of more than a dozen battles, the broadsword could no longer be used under the scorching flames, but these battles also allowed Liu Cheng to sum up some experience in group battles, from the beginning of dealing with three xenos at the same time and the defense was a little unsmooth, to the end of dealing with eleven xenos at the same time is also handy, it can be said that it is very rewarding.
Ren'an supermarket, one of the several major supermarkets in the town, Liu Cheng used to come to the town to play, the variety of items here is quite complete, but the supermarket that was still lively when it came more than a month ago is now very dilapidated, thick dust accumulates on the ground, and some messy scraps of paper roll everywhere with the wind. Now that you are here, there is no reason to go back empty-handed. After fighting at a high frequency for several hours, Liu Cheng also felt a little tired and didn't plan to go any further, so after cleaning up the xenos in the supermarket, he collected some useful things and food to take back together.
Sitting on the steps in front of the supermarket, Liu Cheng was eating a piece of chocolate to replenish his physical strength and energy, while looking at the town streets that were still lifeless in the sun: "Is this the life I will face in the future?" Fight and fight every day, sit casually when you are tired, look at the ruins of the lifeless city, and struggle just to wait for the arrival of the twilight years? So what's the point of such struggles? Is it just to live one more day and enjoy this loneliness? Looking at the dilapidated town, everything that was gradually crumbling, Liu Cheng felt a sense of tiredness and powerlessness in his heart, which did not come from the body, but from the soul. In the face of the forces of nature, even as an inheritor, even if you are smart, even if you are superior in personal force, but so what? Still insignificant in the face of nature. Liu Cheng doesn't know where to go tomorrow and how to go. Speaking of which, he is a inheritor, with the unique prerequisites for surpassing others, and he should have his own goals and missions, but such a world still confuses him.
A decadent aura unconsciously revealed from Liu Cheng's body, but he didn't know that the spirit of the past was hidden from his body and covered by decadence. In the end, Liu Cheng is just an ordinary college student, and he doesn't know what to do in the face of such an apocalypse, although he was used to being lonely alone, it doesn't mean that he is used to such a dilapidated world, and even so dilapidated that he can't see a single person. Since receiving the approval of the Book of Inheritance, Liu Cheng has been working hard to improve his abilities, but he has never thought about what to do after having these abilities? And what is the purpose of improving your own ability? What's the point of living if it's just to live, so tired, so lonely? I hadn't thought about it before, I didn't think about it, but when I suddenly calmed down and looked at the whole street and maybe the whole town, I was left with only myself, and this fear was not comparable to the so-called loneliness before. That kind of loneliness is just personal, purely just wanting to have someone to talk to and release the depression in your heart. And now, it can even be said to be a kind of fear, what I hope in my heart is no longer to have someone to talk to, but as long as I can stand in the crowd and blend into the crowd, even if I don't say a word, this is the loneliness of this race.
