Chapter 14: Bad News
"Huh? Skinny? ”
Wu Qiuli's words made Lin Xi stunned, he hurriedly put his face in front of the rearview mirror and looked at it again, and at the same time, his fingers touched the edge contour of his cheeks, and then his face became extremely ugly.
"!"
After touching his cheeks, he lifted the clothes on his body again, and under the plastered sports T-shirt, eight angular and red abs were immediately exposed.
It's just that in the old times, this was enough to make countless men jealous and couldn't close their mouths, and women were so crazy that they couldn't close their legs, but it didn't bring him a better mood.
Because of the practice of eagle claw flip boxing during this time, the muscles on his body should have been the kind of well-proportioned streamlined, like a gliding bird, and a thin layer of fat was wrapped above the muscle tissue, but now, looking at the stone-like muscles, there is no doubt that there is only one thing, that is, in this short moment, the fat under his skin has been burned, and the true face of the muscles below is directly revealed.
"It seems that this [self-healing] ability is not infinitely usable......"
Seeing Lin Xi's face, Wu Qiuli was also stunned for a moment, and then understood.
Although the relationship between the two is close, they have been busy running and fleeing these days, so they have never developed to the point of seeing each other frankly, and Lin Xi rarely exposes her body because of the scars on her back, so she naturally doesn't know much about Lin Xi's figure under her clothes.
It's just that combined with Lin Xi's sudden loss of face, she quickly pieced together the truth of the matter.
"It turns out that this ability needs to consume its own tissues as raw materials to accelerate cell division and self-healing......"
She muttered.
"Yes."
Lin Xi nodded with a melancholy face.
Unlike absorbing the genes of the mutant giant dog and the ocelot, this time the [self-healing] ability he absorbed from the giant earthworm did not shrink significantly in the form of expression, but the same principle, when placed on him and on the giant earthworm, the effect was completely different.
It is conceivable that the same injury, with the huge size of the giant earthworm, it doesn't matter if it is smaller, it can't be seen at all, but Lin Xi is different, his body is not enough than one-ten-thousandth of the former, like this healing method of tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall, he can't last a few injuries at all, and he will consume himself alive, not to mention that he is only burning fat now, once he continues to burn protein into muscle tissue, it may even seriously affect his combat effectiveness, and he is only afraid of dying faster in the battle at that time.
Because of this, due to the innate limitations of the human body, the racial talent of this giant earthworm brought Lin Xi an increase in combat effectiveness was obviously far less than originally expected.
Soon, though, his brow widened.
"Little Apple, give me a piece of earthworm meat."
He beckoned to the back seat.
The giant earthworm is a giant beast that surpasses ordinary alien beasts, and the remaining half of the body is naturally an excellent meat eater, if it is all concentrated on one person, I am afraid that it is not a dream to create a peak of inhumans, although it is impossible to be so extravagant now, but after a simple division, it was still dragged back by the convoy as an important strategic resource, with Lin Xi's current status, it is not a violation of the rules to eat a few pieces in advance.
"Hmph."
A piece of black earthworm meat was thrown into Lin Xi's hand like a cannonball, and his slap was numb.
In the end, the little apple still resents what Lin Xi said before, and constantly expresses her dissatisfaction and anger in various ways, but fortunately, her intelligence is still far beyond that of ordinary children, and there is no ambiguity in major matters, so except for some small headaches, it did not cause Lin Xi any other trouble, and when she heard that Lin Xi asked for meat, she also threw a piece to him as soon as possible.
Bang.
The black iron-like piece of meat was pinched in the palm of Lin Xi's palm.
Detached from the main body, the earthworm meat has long lost its activity, and after the destruction of the strong current and high temperature of the electromagnetic cannon, it has long lost its steel-like toughness at this time, and it was pinched in Lin Xi's hand, and it disappeared in his mouth in three or two bites.
With a piece of meat in his stomach, Lin Xi's eyes lit up on the spot.
"It worked."
He grinned and said with a big grin, "A few more apples." ”
Bang bang bang.
A few more loud bangs.
A few minutes later, Lin Xi rubbed his slightly numb wrist and let out a satisfied sigh.
After eating a few pieces of earthworm meat, his skin really swelled up again like a blow, regaining its original symmetry and roundness, and even on the surface of the skin, there was a faint layer of oily brilliance flashing, which was a symbol of extreme vitality, just like in the past, people often used the luster of hair and skin as a measure of a person's health, with his current physical condition, if he was seen by health scholars before the cataclysm, it is estimated that he would be shocked with shame on the spot.
"It seems that this [self-healing] ability is really tailor-made for you!"
"Hmm!"
Listening to Wu Qiuli's words, Lin Xi nodded vigorously, his eyes flashing with joy.
Compared with the giant earthworm's way of relying on its huge size to fight a war of attrition, he was able to combine his [digestion] ability to find another way and open up a new way of healing, that is, to fight while eating, and replenish while consuming, it can be said that as long as there is an area with sufficient food, Lin Xi's endurance that can be exerted is by no means under the giant earthworm.
Of course, the ability to resist blows is still incomparable.
After all, the volume of the people is there, and it won't be good to take a shot, and with Lin Xi's small body, I'm afraid that even the scum won't be left after a shot, in that case, not to mention that there is no room for the [self-healing] ability to play, I'm afraid that only Brother Xinchun can save his life.
But in any case, after combining your own [Digestion] ability and the new [Self-Healing] ability, coupled with the defense power of [Muscle Armor] and Dragon Scales, now Lin Xi's resistance can be said to have soared to a heinous point, unless you can kill and cripple him with one blow, otherwise even if your strength is better than his, you can only be dragged to death by him in the end.
"This is a big gain......
Lin Xi's eyebrows fluttered and he replied, and suddenly seemed to remember something, poked his head out of the car window and shouted, "Hey, how is the video of our heavy damage to the giant earthworm!" ”
"No problem, very domineering!"
A voice came back from the speeding car in front.
"That's fine." Lin Xi immediately showed a relieved expression on his face, and ordered the walkie-talkie, "In this way, you guys take the electromagnetic cannon back to the base for maintenance, we still have some personal matters to deal with, and we will go back when we are done." ”
According to the original plan, after completing the test firing of the electromagnetic cannon, it was time for him to go home to find his parents.
However, just when he was full of anticipation, the communicator in Wu Qiuli's hand suddenly rang.
She took the communication and listened to a few words, then raised her head, looked at Lin Xi helplessly, and said, "Xiao Linzi, I'm afraid that your trip to find relatives will be postponed for a few days......"
Lin Xi was stunned, "What happened?" ”
"The corpse tide is attacking the city." Wu Qiuli succinctly said a terrifying fact, "The wandering corpse leads the team, and now Mongolia and Eric are waiting for you to go back and team up to fight the boss together!" ”
