Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Darkness, a dead darkness, hovering under the dazzling light of the stars, a lonely planet, that is the Confused Star. It is no longer blue, the sky has lost its brilliance, the ocean is no longer clear, it no longer even revolves around the stars, it no longer rotates, and the dead planet is scattered with an ominous black light, as if it is independent from the six-dimensional universe.
No one knows why, and no one knows what is lost. Disaster befell the planet, and the only thing left of the nightmarish-shrouded world was brutal and frenzied killing.
The time of the bewildering stars is completely independent, and the long days and nights have brought almost devastating blows to the creatures on the planet, and the high temperature of the day is scorching, and the dry asphalt road can no longer even bear the glue melt. The dry earth erupted with sorrow, and the gale howled over the ruins of the city, playing the sorrow of the planet.
In the gloomy basement of a ruined high-rise, the sun can't reach it. On the edge of the bed sat a young woman, with a pair of melancholy and beautiful eyes on her haggard and pale face, staring intently at the unconscious man lying on the bed.
Time passed minute by minute, the man lying on the bed was still unfamiliar, the food on the table gradually decreased, the woman would feed the man water and food every once in a while, exhaustion invaded every inch of nerves in her brain, and finally the woman lay on the edge of the bed, quietly fell asleep, and the room returned to dead silence.
I don't know how long it was, but the young man's fingers began to move, and he was about to have familiar signs.
After a few minutes, he opened his eyes and became familiar with them, his green eyes filled with deep exhaustion. The man scanned the dark and unfamiliar surroundings around him, his eyes constricted to reveal a strange vertical pupil, and everything in the room was contained in his eyes. He turned his head to look at the tired sleeping woman lying at the head of the bed, and muttered to himself, "It turns out that I haven't become a monster yet." β
Li Xin's consciousness stayed at the moment when the hunter attacked Yayun, and he knew that he had liberated the killing ** that had suppressed his instinct in his heart, and had become an out-and-out monster. Yes, in that case, that was the only way to save the lives of both of them.
"You finally woke up" Yayun's exclamation sounded in her ears, and her choked voice was filled with a bit of excitement and grievance: "Li Xin has been in a coma for a long time, and I carried you back from the center, but I was afraid that Blake would send someone to guard the building where we lived, so I didn't dare to go, so I could only find a temporary place to wait for you to wake up." β
Li Xin stroked the head of the woman in his arms and comforted softly: "Don't worry, it will be fine as soon as you want."
"En" Yayun rubbed coquettishly in Li Xin's arms, "I've been worried and scared for the past few days, and I haven't been able to take a good rest." She climbed onto the bed, pillowed on Li Xin's chest and fell into a short sleep.
"Get a good night's sleep, you'll get better when you wake up." Li Xin gently hugged each other and muttered. There was still a strong smell of blood at the corners of his mouth, and he didn't know how much of the mutant beast's heart he had eaten during the period of time he lost consciousness, otherwise the huge smile of the battle alone would have made him tired and lying on the bed now.
The wound of the wound on the shoulder has healed, even the delicate pink skin. The gunshot wounds on both hands have also healed, Li Xin took his eyes off his hands and landed on the scattered food on the table, a water bottle was empty, and it seemed that he had been unconscious for a long time. Li Xin gently stroked her forehead and kissed the woman who was guarding her side in her sleep, "Don't worry, I will protect you." β
In the time of sleep, the black scales on the palm of his right hand have been covered, as if he is wearing a pair of black iron gloves, the hard Cheng dΓΉ of the black scales can completely block the slash of the bone blade, as long as he does not touch the skill, Li Xin can even completely take the weapon in the opponent's hand. Despite the benefits, he also completely lost the sensation of skin touch, and instead of having a warm feeling, he was cold scales, like a monster.
"There are pros and cons, am I too greedy." Li Xin looked at his hands and muttered, his left hand will soon become covered with black scales like his right hand after a while, which means that he has one more weapon, which can be attacked and defended, and he is undoubtedly a little more sure of surviving at this time.
"If I end up being devoured by the black scales, will I end up turning into a monster?" Li Xin suddenly remembered the form of the hunter, even if he had a short knife or a sharp claw, the final body was vaguely covered by bone armor, was this the final form of the capable person?
Yayun should know what I will look like after I finally lose control, should I ask her? He looked down at the woman who was leaning on her chest and passed out, and he decided not to disturb her sleep for the time being, swallowing all the curiosity in his stomach and closing his eyes to rest.
The two woke up again, I don't know when, during the meal, Li Xin learned from Yayun's mouth what he looked like after losing control, and fell into a short silence. As he expected, he ended up as a terrifying monster devoured by black scales, killing hunters and a huge number of night bats.
Yayun's situation had not yet recovered, and Li Xin rested in place for a while, but unfortunately after the food brought out had been declared depleted, the two got up and left the temporary hiding place. However, Li Xin did not plan to return to the basement of the original living floor, Blake's people may be ambushed somewhere waiting for the two to go, he did not plan to take risks, after sorting out his equipment, he discussed with Yayun and decided to go west, away from the Cortez camp.
In a large city with a sign entwined with vines, Li Xin met a survivor team of five people, which was a team of four men and one woman, two of whom were not very old and were vigilantly staring at Li Xin and the two who had just entered the city, they did not rashly attack, after all, none of the people who could survive until now and dared to come out to look for food were easy to provoke. After the five people noticed the submachine gun under the cloak, they all gasped, and they didn't dare to say a word, for fear of angering the other party to be bulleted.
Li Xin ignored the few survivors who came to the city first before them, and after searching the city, he found no other food, and the supplies inside were almost emptied, leaving empty lockers.
Not finding water, food, and a change of clothes made Li Xin's mood particularly bad, he turned his head to look at the five people standing aside and whispering, staring at the middle-aged man with a melon seed face who was slightly older and stronger among the five. A minute later, the other party finally couldn't stand Li Xin's scrutinizing gaze and took the lead in asking, "Is there something wrong?" β
Li Xin didn't answer, he looked at the other party calmly, the coercion escaping from his body made the other party a little breathless, and he didn't need to wait for him to speak, so he explained in a panic: "We just came to this city to try our luck, but this place has been looted by others, and almost everything has been transported away by big trucks." He added: "You should also see the marks of those two trucks outside the city." β
"Underground Warehouse," Yayun muttered, "Maybe there's something else in the warehouse, and I hope to find some drinks and food." β
"The entrance to the underground warehouse is on the west side of the floor." The middle-aged man with a melon seed face secretly glanced at Li Xin and reminded in a low voice: "It is said that the basement warehouse in the city has become a lair of some kind of mutant beast, and we dare not go." He stretched out his hand to introduce himself: "I am Wang Xie, the temporary captain of this team, these four are my companions, they are all capable people. β
"My name is Li Xin" After Li Xin shook hands politely, he muttered: "Let's go and have a look, maybe there are other supplies." β
Wang Xie's eyes lit up, knowing that the strength of the man in front of him might as well, he hurriedly said: "Let's go too, maybe there is food or drink in the warehouse or something, we can cooperate." β
Hearing the word food, the eyes of the capable people in Wang Xie's team lit up, they came to the market to find food, but they were still a little hesitant when they heard that there was a lair of mutant beasts in the warehouse, after all, even if there was food, they needed to have their lives to enjoy it.
Li Xin glanced at Wang Xie and said nonchalantly: "Yes, but you must have someone to take the lead, and the food found is divided in half." β
"Why," his teammates snarled in displeasure.
However, Wang Xie didn't say much, he had been a salesman for a few years before, and his eyesight was amazing, and he knew that the other party's strength was extraordinary, and he didn't have much on his side, so he knew that there was room for choice. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I'll take the lead, but if you encounter danger, I hope you can help." β
