Taichu Star, East Continent, Pinghua City.
The strange city at night has obviously lost its power supply, but you can occasionally see the flickering lights.
That is the influence of some strange electric light system.
In the unfinished building, Zhang Guangmu noticed that there was a vague and strange green current flowing on the high-voltage line in the distance.
In mid-air, pale human faces were floating around, hunting some late-arriving birds.
During the passing of pale skeletons in the streets and alleys.
The unique cold atmosphere of the morgue, accompanied by the special smell of formalin, continued to seep into the building. The teenagers wrapped themselves in quilts and hid in their sleeping bags to avoid the cold.
This gloomy scene is a true portrayal of today's world.
Pinghua City The prosperity it once had is gone forever.
After the signal was cut off, communications in various places were blocked and connections between cities were lost.
Communication relies on shouting, and transportation relies on walking.
Living is a luxury!
There are ghosts and monsters raging.
It's like this day by day, and it's like this every night.
"You really succeeded."
Watching Zhang Guangmu wake up, a smile appeared on Zhao Zhengrong's face. He slowly came closer and lowered his voice and said, "In this case, some things can be explained clearly."
"Based on my own understanding and communication with other survivors who have mastered the power of the strange monster, the power of the strange monster can be divided into three realms from low to high."
Seeing Zhang Guangmu listening attentively, Zhao Zhengrong said happily, "At each stage, the strength will be significantly improved. Here are the main points that need attention."
"The first is [Abnormal Fetus]. This is the stage you are in now. It gives you certain supernatural abilities. The most obvious sign is that every time you use power, your life span will be shortened."
"Then there is [Abnormal Infant]. On the basis of shortening your lifespan, using too much strange power in a short period of time will cause you to lose your mind, so you must temper your will and belief in advance."
"Next, we will reach the [Humanoid Abnormal] stage. You can create a Abyssal Fiend Seed and pass it on to others, but you will also fall into a weak state for several days."
Zhang Guangmu listened with great interest. "What happens next?"
Zhao Zhengrong shook his head. "No more."
"In the third stage, Abyssal Fiend Seed is completely mature and no longer needs development."
Speaking of this, he said with emotion, "Once the host is weak to a certain extent, Abnormal Will will bite back the symbiote, wear away the host's consciousness, remove the word 'humanoid', and turn into a real [weird]."
Even among Pinghua City, Zhao Zhengrong is not the most talented, nor is he the strongest.
But most of those with both talent and strength have died due to exhaustion of lifespan or backlash.
When explaining this to Zhang Guangmu, Zhao Zhengrong's face was full of sighs.
"I see..." Zhang Guangmu nodded slightly.
I am indeed in the first stage, the [fetal] stage.
It feels like you are pregnant with a baby. After using Abyssal Fiend Seed for your own use, an invisible but real [Abnormal Will] is born in your body.
It's just that I am special. I was reincarnated as Ninth Order Great Divine Ability User, so this thing has little impact on me. A single thought can make me tremble and not dare to do anything.
[fetus], [infant], [person]...
In the three stages, the upper limit of the Weird Sequence does not seem to be high, but the price that needs to be paid is a bit too heavy.
Zhao Zhengrong saw that Zhang Guangmu had listened to what he said, and immediately said, "Have a good rest, enjoy now, we will go out to explore tomorrow..."
"Most of the monsters are more dangerous than what you encountered today. Don't take it lightly."
Many survivors died on their first adventure.
Even those who have obtained the inheritance of Abyssal Fiend Seed Supernatural Power only have a higher survival rate, which is not equivalent to possessing Death Exemption Talisman.
After Zhang Guangmu got used to the strange power for a while, he originally planned to use Fate Power [Lifespan Trading] to help Zhao Zhengrong restore some life span, but found that the other party had already returned to the tent and fell asleep at the speed of light, so it was not easy to disturb the other party's sweet dream.
There is no need to rush this matter, it will be the same tomorrow.
Old Zhao's energy and energy are pretty good. Even if he doesn't have much life left, he won't die in three or two days.
I'm not some dull idiot either.
Zhang Guangmu collected his thoughts and began to study Abyssal Fiend Power and the Fate Power given to him by Taichu's will. He was a little fascinated at the beginning, and unknowingly, he stayed up all night.
When I came back to my senses, I found that it was already dawn.
Fortunately, after reaching the [Fetal] level, Zhang Guangmu has strong physical fitness, and it doesn't hurt to stay up all night.
Zhao Zhengrong woke up, and after taking Zhang Guangmu to wash himself briefly, he looked full of relief.
"You have completely controlled the strange power in your body, and your talent is many times stronger than I expected."
After gaining the power of self-protection, it's now time to go with Zhao Zhengrong.
After completing the simple preparations, Zhao Zhengrong took the trouble to warn the boys and girls staying in the unfinished building some precautions.
Judging from his appearance, it seems that he has said this many times.
Then, the two of them took some props that might be useful, carried their backpacks, and went out together.
Zhao Zhengrong is rich in experience and has avoided many tricks with Zhang Guangmu. In a relatively safe area, he can still impart experience while staying alert.
"The place we are going to later is Survivor Camp."
"The talker there is about the same age as you, but he is also powerful and has protected many survivors. He has the title of [Sword Hero]."
Hearing this, Zhang Guangmu had a subtle sense of déjà vu.
Sure enough!
Zhao Zhengrong reported the familiar name.
"His name is 'Li Xiaoxiao' and he entered the second stage a few months ago."
"Compared with me, his strength is slightly inferior, but he is also a strong person among Pinghua City.
"Although she looks like a girl, Li Xiaoxiao is indeed a boy."
"He is more concerned about these things, remember not to identify the wrong gender, so as not to offend others."
Having said this, Zhao Zhengrong shook his thickened and heavy mountaineering bag. "This time, I am going to use the metal materials I dismantled from the abandoned residential area to trade with Li Xiaoxiao, in exchange for a useful weapon for you."
During the apprenticeship stage, Zhang Guangmu adopted the strategy of speaking less and listening more, and immediately responded, "Remember."
If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.
Zhang Guangmu naturally understands this.
But...
According to Boss Zhao, according to the timeline, Brother Xiaoxiao should be at the [infant] stage of Dacheng, peak, and perfect state now, maybe half a step [human] stage?
After a simple exchange, they entered a relatively dense area with strange creatures.
At this point, Zhao Zhengrong stopped speaking.
He concentrates on leading the way and avoiding risks.
There were no dangers along the way, and we finally reached our destination successfully without any disaster.
The two finally breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as they stepped into the camp from the hidden side door, their back legs quickly became tense.
Because...
Survivor Camp, which was transformed from a tennis training center, is full of dead bodies and broken arms and limbs.
Blood flow and drifting!
The smell of blood like rust rushes straight into the sky, making it sickening.
The door leading to the bathing area was ajar, and there was a crisp sound of ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong coming from inside.
"Follow up!"
Zhao Zhengrong's expression changed, and he took the lead and rushed over. "It's important to save people!"
He had improved with Zhang Guangmu on the road before, and the survivors in Pinghua City were relatively united.
The cunning villains with dirty intentions were either expelled or killed by the sly monsters because they were isolated and helpless.
Human beings are too weak in this world.
It's hard to say in other areas, at least in Pinghua City, where Zhao Zhengrong, Li Xiaoxiao and others serve as role models, everyone will help and support each other wherever they can help other survivors.
Therefore, Zhang Guangmu was not surprised by Zhao Zhengrong's reaction and immediately followed him.
Bang!
After rushing into the bathing area, Zhang Guangmu saw a "beautiful girl" with white hair, holding a long sword, fighting bloody battles with three [Weird Creatures].
Zhang Guangmu can tell at a glance that the white-haired "girl" is none other than Li Xiaoxiao!
Just looking at the fierce and fierce swordsmanship, the powerful energy fluctuations coming from Li Xiaoxiao are not like the [Infant] level, but the ultimate stage similar to Zhao Zhengrong, the [Humanoid Abnormal] level!
"You go first!"
Zhao Zhengrong gritted his teeth and yelled at Zhang Guangmu, "Find a place to hide!"
To be honest, he already regretted rushing in without doing any investigation.
The three monsters surrounding and killing Li Xiaoxiao are not low-level creatures at all, but relatively powerful individuals among middle-ranking Abyssal Fiend!
They are the three generals under Pinghua City Abyssal Fiend King[Ice Skeleton King]. Many human Abnormal Controller died tragically in their hands!
If it weren't for [Three Abnormal Generals] enjoying the fun of killing, with a cat-and-mouse attitude, I'm afraid Li Xiaoxiao would have been killed long ago!
Zhao Zhengrong has made up his mind to do his best to hold down these three generals and give Zhang Guangmu and Li Xiaoxiao a chance to escape.
However...
He soon sadly discovered that Zhang Guangmu, who had always been so well-behaved and so sensible that it made people feel distressed, did not listen to himself for the first time at this moment and actually rushed in the direction of [Three Abnormal Generals].
"Hey!"
After sighing, Zhao Zhengrong followed almost instinctively and joined the battle group without any thought or hesitation.
Today's two chapters are 5,500 words, hehehehe (▽)~
My friend, see you tomorrow!
