Chapter XXVII: The Beginning of the Invasion
In a car on the street, a pair of eyes were staring closely at the entrance of the alley, and the original action of reaching for the door handle stopped when Cheng Xiaomei appeared.
When Su Lifeng rushed out of the alley a few minutes later and looked left and right, the owner of these eyes slowly retracted his body behind the chair.
Su Lifeng's gaze swept over the car, and then moved to the other side without noticing.
"Found ...... You're ......" Li Yi said word by word, and then turned his head to look at the corpse lying next to him. After the owner saw a car accident in front of him, he was about to open the car door to check the situation, but he jumped into the car and was suddenly dragged to the back seat......
After watching Su Lifeng leave, Li Yi dragged the corpse up, opened his mouth and bit the back of his neck, which was still warm.
Li Yi's eyes immediately dimmed, and many black lines appeared on the side of his mouth, and they all burrowed into the wounds of the corpse.
As the corpse quickly dried up, these black lines also returned to Li Yi's body.
After throwing away the dried corpse, Li Yi lowered his head and pulled off his coat.
If there is a second pair of eyes that see this scene at this time, they will definitely vomit on the spot. Li Yi's chest and abdomen were completely decomposed, and even bones and internal organs could be seen in the exposed hole. But as the black threads that had returned to his body quickly burrowed into these places, the wounds on his body soon grew creepy flesh buds again.
"The human body...... Fragile ......" Li Yi thought of the three humans he had absorbed first, if it weren't for the energy he had absorbed from them, he might not have been able to maintain his basic intact form and persist here. Directly replacing the "container" is also a way, but he looked at the badge hanging on his body: Shencheng TV interview card, there is a photo of the container and his name below, Li Yi. It was only after the female human saw the sign that she took the initiative to invite him to get on the bus.
So he doesn't plan to replace this container for the time being, especially after inadvertently finding a way to fix it. However, in order not to be noticed, he still wanted to find a little "protective color" as much as possible...... Li Yi stripped off the corpse's suit, and then changed out of the dirty clothes on his body. Before getting out of the car, he practiced the smile he had learned from the female human before opening the door.
The target looked very vigilant, Li Yi thought about it, with this mechanical smile on his face, his gaze turned from the alley to the other direction, the direction Jiang Yushi left......
"Su, what's wrong?" Cheng Xiaomei was still waiting in place, and when she saw Su Lifeng returning with a frown, she immediately asked a little nervously.
"Nothing, maybe I'm too sensitive." Su Lifeng glanced at her fingers and found that they had completely recovered their original appearance, slender and delicate, and there was no clue at all.
"My joints are free to move and my muscles are stretched, but I don't have the freedom to control them...... But as long as you don't use it, you'll change back on your own after a while. Cheng Xiaomei said with some embarrassment.
Su Lifeng nodded suddenly, he had also experienced this process: "It's okay, just practice a lot, once you can control it freely, your life will become a lot more convenient." Fingers like you are not necessarily a good thing for you. "If she's a student biologist, at least she'll have a big advantage when it comes to dissection...... Su Lifeng thought secretly.
But what made him strange was that Cheng Xiaomei was stunned when she heard it, and then her face turned red, and even the roots of her ears were dyed pink.
"Classmate Su, you ...... What nonsense are you talking about......" she whispered.
Su Lifeng scratched his hair, a little inexplicable.
At this time, Cheng Xiaomei seemed to be reluctant to talk more about this topic, and instead said: "Classmate Su, in fact, I ...... I have something I want to ask you for help. But, but I don't know if I should look for you for this matter, maybe it will cause you ** annoyance, but I really don't know what to do, I ......" Speaking of this, a trace of panic suddenly flashed in her eyes, which made Su Lifeng suddenly have a bad premonition, and the doubts just now were instantly left behind.
"What's going on, you say." Su Lifeng reached out and pressed her shoulder and said.
This action seemed to give Cheng Xiaomei a little more courage, she bit her lip and said, "I was attacked." ”
Then she raised her eyes: "By Xenomorphs." ”
Su Lifeng's heart sank: "Xenos have entered the human world?" ”
……
When he returned home, Su Lifeng happened to run into a female neighbor next door.
The young woman stared at Su Lifeng and Cheng Xiaomei behind him several times in surprise, and then showed a tacit smile at Su Lifeng.
Su Lifeng turned a blind eye to this, but Cheng Xiaomei couldn't wait to bury her head in her chest, and couldn't help but think about the matter about her fingers in her mind. Then she quickly shook her head vigorously...... When my life is at stake, I'm still thinking about something!
However, just after reminding herself like this, seeing Su Lifeng who was opening the door, Cheng Xiaomei couldn't help but think, I don't know what Su's home will be like. He's a top student, so he should have a lot of books at home, right?
However, after the door opened, Cheng Xiaomei was surprised to see a large experimental table, as well as various petri dishes and experimental boxes. After pressing the light with a click, it was still a bright incandescent lamp...... There are a lot of books, but they are all piled on the sofa, and there is a carpet underneath, which seems to be where Su Lifeng usually stays.
"You can sleep in my sister's room, she doesn't usually come back." Su Lifeng turned his head and said to Cheng Xiaomei, who was stunned.
Cheng Xiaomei opened her mouth and said thank you, but she was thinking in her heart, you have made the house like this, it is normal for her not to come back......
"Okay, you can elaborate, how the hell did you get attacked? If I'm not mistaken, didn't you say you were going to take a break? Su Lifeng asked.
Cheng Xiaomei looked left and right at a loss, opened the two books by herself, and then sat on the sofa: "Yes, I looked for a travel guide and went to Xining Province." ”
Tay Ninh Province? Isn't this a border province? Su Lifeng probably understood, it seemed that what he was most worried about had happened......
"I want to stay as away from the crowd as possible because, you know, I ...... I'm really afraid of being discovered. So I hiked to a river valley...... "Cheng continued.
Su Lifeng frowned, but in the end he didn't blame her. Although it is terrible to go hiking in such a border area where natural disasters are frequent and law and order is chaotic, the psychological pressure of a normal girl suddenly finding herself a monster is too great......
"At first, I thought it was an ordinary critter attack, but it wasn't so easy to go back. Later, I met a foreign tourist, and I thought he was in trouble, but I didn't expect him to attack me......" Cheng Xiaomei recalled.
Su Lifeng thought for a moment what she said about "bringing trouble", and suddenly interrupted her and asked, "You didn't kill him?" ”
"I didn't ...... No. Moreover, he didn't follow me for too long, and he was gone. But then I found that people were following me all the time, and the people around me started to get weird, some of them were normal during the day, and the next day they suddenly became dummies. A stiff smile, a constant repetition of words...... I was scared to death and hurried here in a car, but I don't know if they will continue to follow me......"
In fact, Cheng Xiaomei said this, Su Lifeng was basically sure, and the other party would definitely follow her. It's just that when, and in what amount, is not clear......
For xenos, mutants may be a very special existence, which can be seen from the fact that they did not attack them in groups, but have been surrounding Cheng Xiaomei.
At the same time, Cheng Xiaomei's words also revealed another terrifying message...... Those xenos, they've started to spread rapidly.
But the news didn't come out into the news, which is not a good thing. This shows that the situation may be worse than what Cheng Xiaomei saw, which is why it attracted the news blockade.
"It's okay, you stay at my house, and we'll wait for them to come." In addition to being nervous, Su Lifeng actually had a faint sense of expectation in his heart.
The feeling of absorbing xenomorphs is to let yourself experience your own evolution, and once you try it, it is actually very difficult to get rid of it.
And most importantly, Su Lifeng felt more strongly at this time that he needed to become stronger. Cheng Xiaomei has no experience in fighting, and is even as timid as a mouse, but she still almost injured him, which shows that his strength is far from enough.
He's going to get stronger, because the xenomorphs are growing......
