It was breathing, the city was breathing.
Xu Yanjing could feel this but it was not because of the thick black smoke.
The buildings, streets and roads that he was in had many chimneys billowing out black smoke but the buildings looked like they were made from steel. However, the interior of the buildings seemed to be made of steel. Some were exposed, and some were covered in black skin and flesh. There was blood flowing inside, and large patches of dark green moss grew on the surface. It was also showing vitality.
If he was still the creature from before, he would probably find this place very uncomfortable. The air was extremely terrible, and there were many different kinds of odors. Moreover, there were many potholes on the road, and some places were simply bottomless quagmires.
But for the current him, everything appeared to be friendly and the stench became a fragrance.
What was smelly and what was fragrant? Wasn't it just a human definition?
Suddenly, the pulsation of the city seemed to come from the ground, causing him to feel some kind of resonance, and the blood in his body also began to boil.
'This city has existed for a long time … 'Xu Yanjing thought. This was out of his expectation.
He had thought that the so-called Will of Life Alliance was just an organization formed by a group of Inhumans. Even if there was a base, it would be a dark cave. If it was discovered by Phecda, it would be a disaster … But now, Prestige City was just one of the outpost cities …
This was a giant beast made from machinery and dark flesh. Gu Jun could not see the end of it.
'How long has the Life Will Alliance existed? Did it really originate from Earth? 'No way, it appears to be from another dimension, another world … '
'That enlightenment website … was it created by them? '
The anxiety in Gu Jun's heart roiled again. He was still under the influence of the past.
There were not many mutants walking the streets. They appeared to be new mutants. As expected, the Nagas had the fewest faces, the Deep Ones had the second fewest and most of them were zombies. They looked around curiously. There were also people like Yao Xuchang leading them.
Xu Yanjing now suspected that Yao Xuchang did not come to find him because of old friendship but was doing some kind of job, some kind of mission to recruit new mutants and bring them to the outpost city instead of being controlled by Phecda.
"Those in front are even stronger. They're just passing by." At this time, Yao Xuchang whispered to him, "Don't say anything, and be careful not to look around. Do what I do, or if you die, don't blame me for not reminding you that there is no equality here, only the strong and the weak."
Xu Yanjing was taken aback. He saw three mutants walking towards him. They were all ghouls. Perhaps because ghouls and Nagas were not the same species, the ghoul's rotten flesh and strange appearance made him feel a little uncomfortable. But at this moment, it was best for him to do as Yao Xuchang said.
The two of them hurriedly moved to the side and lowered their heads slightly, as if to express their humbleness.
When the three ghouls walked past them, they bowed again to complete the etiquette.
"In the land of the Inhumans, the strong are strong and the weak are weak." Yao Xuchang continued, "Strength is everything. In front of strength, there is no beast that can restrain you."
"Strength?" Xu Yanjing was a little annoyed. "What do you mean? How should we decide? "
"Just follow me. The new mutants have to go to the reporting area to register and be assessed. "
Xu Yanjing continued to follow. There was no other way, he did not know the way to Prestige City at all.
Everything in front of him looked familiar, but it was actually very strange, like the occasional 'vehicle' that occasionally passed by. It was a vehicle, but it was also a combination of machinery and black flesh. The front of the vehicle was very exquisite, and there were detailed gears and countless parts that he could not name …
There were such things everywhere, and they should also form the city. He saw that what was exposed on the road was not soil, but the same sophisticated machinery, like the fascia and bones of the city behemoth.
"This city … it can move, right?" Xu Yanjing could not help but ask Yao Xuchang. "I can see that it is alive."
Yao Xuchang's face showed that smile again, and this made him even more annoyed. It was just that he had been here for a few more days and knew a little more than he did, why was he pretending …
"It can indeed move, and it's more agile than you think." Yao Xuchang said with a smile. "Look at the sky above."
Xu Yanjing looked up. The sky here was gray, and he did not know which world or which dimension it belonged to. He looked in the direction that Yao Xuchang pointed and saw a few giant objects that looked like airships flying there. He was speechless again. The Life Will Alliance also had aviation power …
"That's just a sightseeing boat." Yao Xuchang said, "I've sat on it before, and I've seen the whole picture of this city, and how it moves."
Just a sightseeing boat? Xu Yanjing frowned, and he already believed that the Life Will Alliance really had the power to fight against human civilization.
Looking around, it was hard for him not to believe that the Life Will Alliance's declaration of war was not just empty words, and the attack could happen at any time …
Suddenly, the part of him that was still an ordinary human was filled with fear and sorrow.
He did not really want to ask Yao Xuchang about how this city moved, and looking at the other party's face, even if he asked, he would not answer. However, it was because of the other party's face that he could not help but say, "You're bluffing, aren't you? Didn't you just come here for a few days? Can you even sit on it?"
"One, I already said that it's just a sightseeing boat, and you don't need a high qualification to sit on it." Yao Xuchang replied, "Two, this is the last time I'll tolerate you talking to me like this. If you use this kind of attitude next time, I won't need anyone else to teach you a lesson."
Xu Yanjing was full of anger, and just when he was about to say something, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and his eyes slightly widened. "There …"
There were no special buildings on both sides of the road, but there were two large rows of dozens of corpses hanging on the side of the road.
Some of the corpses looked fresh, and some were already rotten. They were not Inhumans, but ordinary humans. A few of them were not completely dead yet, and they were letting out faint wails. It did not seem like they were begging for life, but they were begging for death, hoping to die quickly and not have to suffer this kind of slow decay …
"You're talking about those beasts?" Yao Xuchang heard this and looked over. "They're just street decorations, just like how beasts like to use flowers and lanterns as street decorations."
Street decorations? Xu Yanjing listened to such careless words, and he could not help but grit his teeth. Pain flashed through his heart. "How can you say that … Those are all humans …"
Even if it was a donkey or a cow being treated like that, he would still feel compassion, let alone those people …
Do you still have any humanity …
There were some words that he did not say out loud in his heart, and perhaps he already knew the answer.
"Call them whatever you like, Old Humans, beasts, whatever it is, they're not humans." Yao Xuchang laughed contemptuously. "We are humans. Don't be in a hurry to refute me, look at yourself, look at your tongue, you better recognize what you are now, and stop saying stupid things. Also, as I said just now, your attitude is very annoying. "Before he finished speaking, Yao Xuchang suddenly threw a punch with his empty right hand.
Xu Yanjing clearly felt that his body had become abnormally strong, be it his strength or reaction speed, they were all incomparable to ordinary people, but this time, it was like a shadow flashed in front of his eyes. He wanted to dodge, but his body could not keep up …
Bang bang, he was punched in the abdomen by Yao Xuchang, and once again flew out and fell heavily to the ground. A sharp pain exploded from his abdomen, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"If there is a next time, I will take your life." Yao Xuchang said, and his cold voice had a real murderous intent. "Do you understand? Speak. "
"Yes, I understand …" Xu Yanjing could only suppress his anger and reply. I must take revenge, I must kill this guy …
"You want to kill me, right?" Yao Xuchang shrugged. "If you are stronger than me, you can make the decision. This is the only rule here."
Xu Yanjing endured the pain and climbed up. The things that happened here did not attract much attention, except for the new mutants who passed by. Although he was not an ordinary human hanging on the side of the road, he was also like a slave, a slave of the strong.
For the rest of the way, Xu Yanjing did not speak, just followed behind Yao Xuchang, and listened to whatever he said.
Then something shocked him. His footsteps stopped involuntarily. For a moment, it felt like something had cracked in his heart.
In front of the strange building was the reporting office. Many Inhumans were queuing up outside, waiting to enter. Among them was a young man in his early twenties. He was wearing the Phecda uniform and there was the team leader's emblem on his shoulder sleeve … Why would he be here, this place that belonged to the enemies of Phecda …
Many people also noticed the young man and they were instantly flustered.
"It's someone from Phecda, and he's a team leader. He's so young but he's already a team leader." Yao Xuchang saw the young man as well, "Shall we go and entertain him?"
Xu Yanjing's mind buzzed. His heart squeezed painfully but then it only got worse because he noticed more Phecda members. Other than that, there were FBM members, Russian Security Bureau, British Security Bureau …
His head throbbed with pain. Perhaps it was because he was one step closer to the complete mutation of the snake head, or perhaps it was because of the sadness that he could not explain.
He was already a mutant, a member of the Life Consciousness Alliance, he should not be sad, but why …
At the same time, before Yao Xuchang could do anything, a zombie that had mutated to about seventy percent walked towards the Phecda leader. "Isn't this the animal from Phecda?" The zombie grumbled. There was resentment in his voice. "Aren't you supposed to be hunting us? Why are you here? To kill people? "
The man was probably hunted by Phecda members in the previous world. The more he spoke, the angrier he became. "Why aren't you speaking, you bunch of liars."
"You have a death wish." The young man suddenly said, "Then you can die now."
Suddenly, the young man stretched out his hands and grabbed the deformed head of the ghoul that couldn't dodge in time. His hands suddenly pulled upwards. Pi pa, the ghoul's head was completely torn off. Dirty blood spurted out, and a hoarse scream rang out. However, the fangs in the bloody mouth quickly froze, and it could no longer chomp down on the ghoul …
Everyone was stunned. Xu Yanjing's brain seemed to have been cut off and even Yao Xuchang stopped moving …
"My name is Lin Chengbo." The young man looked around and tossed the bleeding zombie's head to the side. "I used to rank first in Phecda University's special training class. If you have any objections, feel free to come and try me."
The zombie's head landed on the ground, far away from the body that was attached to it.
