Chapter 205: No One Can Stop My Heart from Dying
"Sounds like there's trouble down there."
Lu Mengyao cut open the mouth of a large can of diesel without raising her head, and then carefully poured it into a small bottle. The cacophony and screaming from the food section on the first floor of the supermarket only made her eyebrows twitch, "I bet there's a higher-level zombie." Based on the psychology of the game designers, I estimate that there are two indicators that will trigger the appearance of enhanced zombies. One is that ordinary zombies have died to a certain extent, and the other is probably the passage of time. This mall looked like an important place, but the dinosaur killed so many trash fish in the way...... It's strange that there aren't high-level zombies. ”
With two pops, Su Jing raised the air gun in his hand, which had been temporarily transformed. The long-rod screws pushed by the high-pressure gas cylinder sprayed out of the small-diameter steel pipe, piercing the brain of a mutant zombie with a probe through the front and back.
After receiving this heavy blow, the zombie didn't lose its life, but just shook its head vigorously and continued to pounce. Su Jing could even see the outline of its red muscles naked in the air tense in the breeze, and Su Jing immediately rolled sideways, but the distance he rolled over was really a little short, and he only avoided this blow by a fraction of a second. In the next second, he turned around and pressed his palm on the mutant zombie's ugly face. On the right palm of the hand with a heavy insulating glove, a simple electrode emits an extremely strong electric current, paralyzing the zombie's muscles.
In the strong smell of burning, Su Jing fired several shots at the zombie's brain at close range, and completely destroyed the zombie's action nerve center with a screw.
"Alright, pack up, we're leaving." Su Jing checked the valve of the pneumatic gun and made sure that its battery was still full. Lu Mengyao, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't move. High-energy explosives continue to be deployed.
“…… Give me three more minutes. ”
"Gage, you go find the transport. Preferably a truck that can carry large quantities of supplies. Su Jing paced two steps. Turning to the mechanic warlock who was tweaking a modified chainsaw, he reluctantly put down the miniaturized logging chainsaw. He saluted Su Jing with two fingers. Su Jing knew that before entering the center of the world, she was already a wanted criminal with a bounty of hundreds of billions, and this girl's self-protection ability was definitely above herself.
Drow and Sadako Yamamura ran up with a large bag of food and water, while Su Jing began to pack all the fuel and tools she could into a large travel backpack. A low roar interrupted their preparations.
The previous mutants were like a prelude, and from some dark corners that no one had noticed before, a large number of zombies came out again. For these basically harmless guys, Su Jing shot casually. After all, it was a pneumatic gun assembled by himself, and although the accuracy was slightly lacking, it was not too much of a problem for Su Jing, who had a fairly high degree of hand-eye coordination. Zombies are like logs waiting to be harvested. One by one, Drow's sabers and precise spikes fell.
"Don't kill too fast."
Lu Mengyao, who had screwed the cap of the last bottle, stood up from the ground and hammered his legs and feet, which were already a little numb. The female mage calmly looked at the killing scenes around her and stretched out her hand towards Su Jing. The second nail gun fell into her hands, and the mage entered the battle for points.
"What do you mean don't kill too fast?" After knocking down five or six more zombies, Su Jing asked without looking back. He didn't have to wait for an answer, he already knew what Lu Mengyao meant. Five or six mutant zombies pounced on the outside of the railing, the walls, and even the ceiling.
The four of them barely hesitated, picked up their backpacks and ran out. Drow and Su Jing spontaneously stood at the back of the line, backing away while blocking the mutants. The Dark Elf strapped her saber to the end of the wire whip and stabbed down both mutants with her magical whiplash. The two-headed mutants are all stabbed in the head, and one blow is fatal. Su Jing shot with one hand, and turned on the switch of the small chainsaw with the other.
"Whoa, whoa—for the emperor!"
Shouting a battle cry of unknown significance, Su Jing's movements became extremely precise and efficient in an instant. The cheetah-like agility of the mutant slowed down for a moment in his eyes. The heart pounds violently, pumping excess blood throughout the body. Some tiny blood vessels appeared on Su Jing's face, under the control of no biological vicebrain. He could only use this newly learned self-hypnosis method to overclock his physical energy for a split second. By visualizing your own death, you get a momentary fire power. The control valve that prevents damage to the body opens in one go. This allows him to gain extraordinary strength in a short period of time.
In the world where time slowed down, Su Jingyuan's eyes widened. The pneumatic nail gun knocked down one mutant three times, and half a second later, the chainsaw cut the neck of the second mutant directly, and a huge amount of rancid blood sprayed out and poured on the killer's body. It feels so good to take a life!
Su Jing, who was forced to suppress his heart discomfort, sang in a low voice that he couldn't remember where he came from, although it was only for a few seconds, but in these few seconds, he was a god!
A third mutant swooped down from the side pillars. Su Jing squatted slightly, and then inserted the chainsaw in his left hand into the lower abdomen of the mutant flying in the air. The abdominal cavity, which lacked enough muscle and bone to protect it, was cut open and then thrown out of the body by an inhuman force, hitting the fourth mutant. Su Jing sneered and picked up the nail gun, carefully aimed at his near-bullet time vision for a while, and then pulled the button. The sharp spike passed over the disembowelmented mutant and then pierced the eye of the fourth mutant.
After a moment, Su Jing returned to the world realm where time flowed normally. He fell to his knees irrepressibly, his heart beating violently as if it was about to burst out of his chest. A mouthful of blood came up and he swallowed it back. Su Jing knew that his capillaries might have been half ruptured, and he could barely see clearly—blood was running down his eyes. The ears were also barely audible, and a warm liquid bubbled out of the ear canal, blocking the path of sound wave conduction.
With a pop, a mutant full of spikes fell from the ceiling and landed at his feet, twitching for a few moments. He heard what appeared to be a woman's voice shouting, and then a pair of thin, powerful hands grabbed him by the arm and lifted him to his feet. At first, he thought it was a drow elf, but the hands looked vaguely white. Then he thought it was Sadako Yamamura, but when he leaned on the woman's shoulder, he didn't smell the same scent as the sea lily.
Lu Mengyao stuffed Su Jing into the back compartment of the truck, and Sadako Yamamura immediately picked up the man who was on the verge of life and death. No one could have imagined that this potential for self-hypnosis would have such serious consequences. None of the people present knew what to do, except for Sadako Yamamura, who bit her lip.
The truck rumbled into action, and Gage, who claimed to have two years of driving experience, stepped on the accelerator to the end. In the midst of the violent jolting, Sadako Yamamura placed her hands on Su Jing's forehead and chanted a mantra to pray to the gods.
Out of professional sensitivity, Lu Mengyao listened quietly for a while, but it was just an ordinary shrine maiden sacrifice prayer in Japanese Shintoism.
Miraculously, Su Jing's pale face changed little by little. It can be seen that Sadako Yamamura's remaining abilities still play a role. It wasn't until Su Jing was able to open her eyes that Sadako Yamamura let out a long breath and leaned weakly against the wall of the carriage.
Su Jing, who struggled back from the brink of death, wiped the blood on his face and actually laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Lu Mengyao asked in an unkind tone.
Su Jing didn't answer, and it took a while before he stopped laughing.
"For the first time, I got to know the force again."
As if considering how to tell his feelings, Su Jing stared at the top of the carriage for a while before continuing.
"When we lose the amount of power we once had, we can feel how good it is to have what we once had. It is those forces that have turned us into unbeatable powerhouses. But after losing our strength, we are like lost wild dogs, and even these small pets can drive us around...... Don't you think that's a bit ironic? ”
"Skip the foreshadowing and get to the point." Lu Mengyao took out a cigarette from her pocket and lit it with a cheap lighter.
"Our strength is coming too fast. So we don't value them. Su Jing stretched out his fingers, "Of course, our intelligence is also a very important reason. More power is just a low-hanging fruit for us, isn't it? ”
Lu Mengyao didn't speak, just smiled slightly, and the right to acquiesce.
With Su Jing and Lu Mengyao's intelligence and mentality, if they really started desperately pursuing stronger strength, then they could indeed think of a way to get a surge in combat power in a very short period of time. But that would have to be to give up something they don't want to give up. For example, certain principles of survival, or flexible identity.
If Su Jing started hunting powerful creatures with all his might, maybe he would be able to reach the peak of six stars in just a few months. If Lu Mengyao uses her generic points to buy more powerful enhancements, such as full-body elementalization, or similar biological transformation, she can also get a quick boost.
But both men have a reserve and self-confidence that borders on hubris.
Su Jing's happy creed made him unwilling to sacrifice his relaxed and happy pace, and Lu Mengyao's pride made her unwilling to take a shortcut in strength, but started as a mage apprentice step by step.
"So, you changed your mind?" Lu Mengyao asked.
"Nope." Su Jing replied, "It just made me have a more personal understanding of the existence of the force." ”
"If this world realm wants to teach me the preciousness of strength, then let me see who can go to the bottom."
Su Jing looked at the ceiling of the truck and issued a declaration of challenge to this world.
Do you have to go through pain and suffering to reach the pinnacle of the worldly realm? Do we have to succumb to strength and knowledge and change our own hearts? Does a person who survives in the world must be changed by the world world?
Come on. Su Jing grinned. There are no rules or principles in the world that can restrain my free and happy heart. (To be continued......)
