Chapter 27: Terror

Lin Xiang walked very slowly.

The mutant did not approach or retreat. They stood there silently, like a group of cold statues carved from stone by abstract artists.

A series of bloody eyes projected on Lin Xiang from different directions, without any hostility, only a hint of doubt and fear.

No language is needed, and simple eye communication is enough to make them understand each other's intentions.

From Lin Xiang, they felt the familiar and similar aura.

But why did this creature, which should be his companion, release an extremely cold cruelty?

"Swoosh--"

Lin Xiang, with a cold expression, moved. His body leaned forward at a forty-five degrees. His bent feet and strong leg muscles were like a spring compressed to the extreme, suddenly released from the opposite side of the street. At a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to distinguish, he rushed into the mutant crowd who was watching. The sharp dagger held in his right hand in the reverse direction, and the throat of the nearest mutant creature was flat, leaving a smooth mark with red bloodline seeping out.

"Johho-Ho-Ho-"

The mutant tightly covered the broken throat, and a large ball of fresh and thick red liquid overflowed from the slender fingers. It opened its mouth wide and swallowed the oxygen necessary to maintain life. The red eyeballs were raised high and raised. Driven by the stimulating nerves, it tried hard to break free from the constraints of its eyelids. The blood that surged up came back down from the broken pharynx tube, completely blocking the passage of gas in and out. Soon, it was unable to support it, and fell heavily to the ground with its back to the sky, grabbing its neck desperately in pain, but its eyes were turning weak.

Lin Xiang did not delay for a second. The blood-stained dagger pierced out in a diagonal manner like lightning and inserted it into the eye frame of another mutant next to him. With the shrill scream, the dagger was quickly pulled up. Under the wave of the inertial force brought by the rapid rotation of his body, it pierced through the left neck of the third mutant. Then he waved it hard. With the crisp sound of the bone being cut, only half of the connection between the entire head and the shoulders was left.

This series of actions takes less than five seconds from the beginning to the end.

"Tick--"

The blood slowly slid down from the oblique tip of the dagger. The moment it contacted the ground, it seemed that a slight impact could be heard.

Lin Xiang moved his brows gently, raised his right foot, and stepped on the mutant who was struggling on the ground and struggling in pain. Suddenly, he grabbed the opponent's head, which was about to fall off, and the black head that could not withstand the huge impact, suddenly drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell among the ruins in the distance.

The black skin like coal and film covers the facial expression of the mutant. The trembling muscles and the uncertain red glow in their eyes betrayed their inner cowards and fear.

They are bloodthirsty and cruel, but that is only for weak prey.

Once they encounter opponents who are stronger, more cruel and more terrifying than themselves, they will also show instinctive timidity.

This is the nature of a living creature.

Lin Xiang held the dagger and approached forward step by step.

Opposite, the tall black figure was quickly retreating.

Lin Xiang, with a ferocious expression, accelerated his pace under his feet, and his slender thighs burst out with powerful strength. His muscles raised again and rushed forward in an instant, flashing through the panic mutant crowd like a ghost. Wherever the cold blade passed, it would always bring about a piece of blood that gushed out of the broken throat.

Parasites are indeed far stronger than humans.

Lin Xiang was fighting fiercely, like a bloodthirsty madman. He clearly felt that his body was stronger than when he encountered Chris and others. His strength, speed, and reaction index were all improved. According to the standards of those skeleton knights, it should have surpassed the boundaries of two-star parasites.

The blade swung over and another black head was cut off from the body.

He could no longer remember how many mutants died under the knife. Every time he swung the knife, he had to consume the energy in his body. Crazy and rage could certainly increase combat power quickly, but also accelerate the burning of physical strength.

Standing in the middle of the street full of corpses, Lin Xiang gasped.

He needs to recover.

The mutant no longer moved closer to this direction. They quickly passed through the alley next to the street. In the distance, there were soon screams of death coming from the scattered buildings.

They are the citizens stranded in the city.

Lin Xiang was shocked all over, and the dagger in his hand almost fell.

Mutants reproduce by killing. The more humans are killed, the larger their populations will be.

There are at least millions of civilians in Chengdu that have not yet been evacuated...

Thinking of this, Lin Xiang felt his scalp tingling and his violent brain gradually calmed down.

No matter how strong you are, you are an independent individual. The mutant creature that flows like a tide can swallow him in an instant.

There were dozens of black headless corpses lying in the streets behind me. Killing them had consumed most of their energy.

Staring with red eyes and breathing in the bloody air, Lin Xiang slowly walked out of the end of the street.

"Bang--"

A piece of glass falling from a high place fell to pieces at his feet. Looking up in the direction of the fall, a woman with her mouth wide open, half of her body poked out from the window on the sixth floor, and her chest, stained with blood, suddenly stretched out the tip of the black bone blade.

Screaming, asking for help, desperate begging... erupted from the buildings one by one.

A strong man roared and swung his kitchen knife to slash at the mutant in front of him, but the other party easily flashed by. The slender bone blade passed through his left abdomen and penetrated into his chest.

An old man who hurriedly got into the car, took out the key and stuffed it into the keyhole with a trembling rope. The mutant outside the car smashed the car window hard, grabbed the old man's collar with one hand, dragged his whole person out of the narrow window, cut the other person's abdomen with a blade, grabbed the fresh and slippery intestines, and dragged it several meters away. The old man's tragic screams circled over the city for a long time.

"Help-uncle, save me-"

Suddenly, a little girl in a red dress, about thirteen or four years old, with only one shoe left on her feet, screamed in panic. The sharp gravel scattered on the ground cut through her red feet. Before Lin Xiang could react, the mutant who followed her had already caught up with her. She grabbed the girl's naked ankle and raised it up high, waving the sharp bone blade and slashed it hard towards her hips. Amid the crisp sound of skin and flesh tearing and bone breaking, the girl's body was cut in half from the middle, and the soft organ flowing out of her abdomen hung diagonally on her face, revealing only an eye that was almost bulging out of the socket by the severe pain.

"Ao—"

The violent moment instantly dominated Lin Xiang's brain. Two huge flames several meters high suddenly rose from his palms, and under the command of his wrists and shoulders, they swept through all the mutants in the envelope.

Biological flame, this is an evolutionary ability he simulated from Borg.

The fiery fire followed the figure and quickly expanded its domain. The mutant people wrapped in flames were burning all over. They ran in pain on the streets, using simple syllables to release beast-like howlings, and their burned black bodies emitted the aroma of fresh meat... In the end, they could only fall to the ground with no power, curling their bodies tightly like cooked shrimps, turning them into a ball of hot carbide.

"Huhu...you, you all deserve to die—huhuhu,huhu-"

The flames released quickly consumed little energy. Looking at the mutant who was avoiding him from afar, Lin Xiang, exhausted, could only stand there and breathe.

Suddenly, a cold hand grabbed his ankle from behind. Lin Xiang looked back instinctively, and his black pupils suddenly shrank into sharp needle light.

That was a beautiful young woman.

She has white skin and permed burgundy curly hair, her lips are painted with tempting pink, her carefully scribbled eyebrows at just the right angle, a taffeta white long skirt perfectly outlines a well-proportioned waist, a low-hanging neckline reveals most of her breasts, and her slender legs overlap each other, forming an extremely seductive and sexy pose.

Just on the side of her waist, there was a fist-sized wound. With the help of the sunlight reflected from the wall next to her, you can clearly see a bunch of swelling internal organs and fat and sticky intestines flowing out of it and dragging to your knees.

She is a dead person.

Lin Xiang swallowed hard and his hair was dry, without moving, allowing the other party to grab his heels.

Obviously, this is a citizen killed by a mutant.

She is resurrected.

It has only been less than an hour since the general blows up the building. The fresh wounds on the other party also prove this.

How could she live?

Lin Xiang clearly remembers that when fighting in Kunming City, he once calculated the exact time for the infected person to evolve into a mutant. No matter how young or old, it was six hours.

But now, why...

The resurrected young woman crawled slowly on the ground, perhaps because she was not very adapted to her physical functions after rebirth! She had been in a semi-creeping state. The intestines that fell out of her abdomen were ground into pieces by hard stones, and the yellow feces and dark red and slightly green fishy pus that flowed out of it covered the entire road with the friction of the expensive silk skirt.

Her face looked very beautiful, and her pale skin made people want to reach out and caress her. Just as her slender arms barely supported her body and wanted to get up from the ground, a thick black blood stasis was suddenly squeezed out from her closed sexy lips, and spitting all over her front along her round chin.

Lin Xiang suddenly realized that this was not an ordinary mutant, but a living zombie he had seen in Xiaoyangzhuang and Zhangguan Town.

They should be another creature similar to mutant people but have completely different evolutionary directions. They are also hosts infected by viruses. The resurrection time of living zombies is shorter, and serious decay will appear on the surface of their bodies. Although they move slowly, they have stronger ability to spread. Especially for living people, they will also show unusual greed.

Because, they seem very hungry.

Not only this young woman, but also the corpses on the entire street, all showed signs of resurrection. They dragged their heavy bodies slowly up from their corners, looking blankly at this familiar and strange world. The dark red eyes scanned all the things that could be used as food. They even grabbed the pieces of meat and limbs that had been cut off from their bodies, and tried their best to fill them into their mouths and chew them around.

Millions of residents.
