Brother Hei frantically ran for his life. The fear in his heart nearly drove him crazy. He felt danger rapidly approaching. That terrifying fellow was chasing after him. What made him go crazy was that the other party's speed was actually three times faster than his. Anyone who faced such an enemy would feel despair!
He ran through the corridor and rushed to the door without looking back.
The fear and nervousness in his heart had caused him to not even notice Wang Shishi, who was vomiting nearby. Even if he had seen her, he would not have been able to react in time.
Not every evolved human was like Luo Yuan, who could develop their attributes in a balanced manner. Most of them had their own weaknesses. Even if his speed was the same as Luo Yuan's, he would not be able to match Luo Yuan's combat power. Without an intelligent brain and a strong sense of perception, he would not be able to process the huge amount of information that came in during a high-speed battle.
It was like an ordinary person driving a high-speed sports car. The most he could do was race on the straight road. If he wanted to turn or overtake, the car would be destroyed.
In fact, after becoming an evolved human, he could only reach 50% of his maximum speed in a battle. Any faster and his combat power would be reduced.
After a few steps, the door was right in front of him. Just as he was about to leave the villa, he saw a young woman in black half squatting about 30 meters in front of him. She was holding a silver-white pistol tightly in both hands, and the muzzle was pointed straight at him.
A chill suddenly rose from his tailbone. His eyes widened in anger as he roared. The strong aura of death caused him to speed up even more. He rushed towards the young woman at high speed. He knew very well that if he couldn't control the hostage, he wouldn't be able to survive at all if the terrifying man who was chasing him didn't want to hurt him.
"Jiahui, run!" Luo Yuan shouted anxiously.
Huang Jiahui did not seem to hear him. She remained in the same position, cold sweat dripping down her forehead. Her pupils constricted as she looked at the fast approaching enemy. She kept swinging the muzzle at the blurry figure.
The distance between them was getting closer.
30 meters, 25 meters, 20 meters …
Huang Jiahui finally pulled the trigger.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! "
The first one missed, the second one brushed past his arm, and a string of blood splattered out. The third one hit his chest! The dark-blue bullet had a strong penetrative power. After piercing through his chest, it went through a few walls and disappeared without a trace, leaving only a few holes in the villa.
Brother Hei's body trembled, and he staggered. His body, which had been running at high speed, suddenly flew into the air. His face flashed with a hint of despair, and he pulled out a gun from his waist. He raised his hand and pulled the trigger.
"No!" Luo Yuan's expression changed as he threw his Zhanmadao at Brother Hei.
But it was too late. The moment the Zhanmadao pierced his chest, a gunshot rang out!
No one expected that at this most dangerous moment, a figure would suddenly rush over and heavily fall on Huang Jiahui's body. The bullet pierced her body and blood splattered everywhere.
It was Huang Yuying!
Luo Yuan was shocked. He had never thought that Huang Yuying would do such a thing.
Everyone ran over when they saw that someone was injured.
Luo Yuan pulled out the Zhanmadao from the man's body. He was not dead yet. Blood was gushing out of his mouth, and his throat was making noises. He could not speak at all. He looked at Luo Yuan with pleading eyes, hoping that he would give him a quick death.
Luo Yuan was expressionless. He swung his Zhanmadao and finished him off.
After settling everything, Luo Yuan quickly rushed over. Huang Yuying was already lying on the ground, her hands covering her abdomen. Blood was still flowing out of the gaps between her fingers, staining the soil below.
Huang Jiahui held Luo Yuan's hand tightly. Her eyes were wet, and her heart was filled with gratitude and shame. She kept mumbling, "Hang in there, you have to live! Why were you so stupid? You didn't have to save me. "
Huang Yuying's face was as pale as a sheet of paper. She forced a smile and said weakly, "I … owe you all. My life is worthless and I don't know anything. This is all I can do. If I … die, if you have the chance … go to Shannan Province's Wugou County and see if my parents are still there. My father's name is Huang Weimin, and my mother's name is … "
Before she could finish her sentence, she started vomiting blood.
"Don't worry, you won't die. We'll go with you." Huang Jiahui saw that her face was getting worse, so she turned to Ning Xiaoran and shouted, "Hurry up and save her!"
…
Huang Yuying was still dead.
Ning Xiaoran was just a nurse. She did not have the ability to perform surgery, and the bullet had pierced through her stomach, causing it to bleed profusely. Considering the lack of doctors and medicine, it was impossible to treat such a serious injury.
The ashes in front of the villa were piled up again before they could even melt into the soil.
Life was unpredictable, especially during the apocalypse.
Luo Yuan did not have a good impression of Huang Yuying from the beginning. His first impression of her was very bad. Even though she was a beautiful woman, Luo Yuan had never treated her nicely. There was even a time when he wanted to kill her. However, such a person had sacrificed her life to save someone whom she had only known for 10 days or half a month.
Human nature was complicated, and no one could fully understand it.
… …
This incident was a huge blow to Huang Jiahui. She had been quiet for the past two days. Every day, she went through high-intensity training as if she was torturing herself. She could hold a gun horizontally for a few hours, and she would fall asleep the moment her head hit the pillow. Luo Yuan did not stop her, nor did he encourage her.
This was the norm during the apocalypse. It was abnormal for her to be so relaxed in the past.
The battle had changed many people, and it had been a great baptism for Wang Shishi.
Humans were of the same kind. Although killing was just a simple word, it was a qualitative change in the mind that broke free from the shackles. A murderer looked at people in a completely different way from ordinary people. It was a kind of condescending contempt. People who killed people like flies would look at ordinary people as if they were pigs, dogs, chickens, or sheep.
Unlike an adult, Wang Shishi had not formed a stable worldview yet. She had been afraid and uneasy in the beginning, but after a few conversations and consolation, she had completely adapted to it. She had improved faster than Luo Yuan had expected.
But what made him happy was that after this killing, her will seemed to have finally improved, and the power of her telekinesis had become stronger. Now she could lift 50 kilograms of material, and the shuttle could easily break through the sound barrier, and its power was extremely terrifying.
Luo Yuan did not relax either. After becoming an evolved human, he had temporarily stopped hunting and focused on training his evolved ability.
The Earth Stomp ability was related to Sensory Perception and Strength. Apart from strength training, Luo Yuan spent most of his time standing quietly on the grass, feeling the mysterious feeling that the earth brought to him.
With the help of his evolved ability, his Sensory Perception could "see" deeper into the earth. It was a completely different world.
Even a small blade of grass that looked down upon would have an unusually developed underground root system. It could often spread over several cubic meters of space. Countless grass roots intertwined with each other, forming an airtight network. All kinds of strange mutated creatures either lived in it or hunted for food.
As his Sensory Perception continued to spread, the image in his mind became more and more blurry and faint.
Then, in a hazy state, he seemed to feel that the earth was rotating slowly. It would never stop, and it would never change.
It was an indescribably vast power. His soul trembled, and he was deeply intoxicated by it.
Luo Yuan felt it for a while, then he retreated and frowned.
The pulsation could be described as a vibration. He did feel that the planet was shaking during the rotation, but there were too many of them. Earthquakes, tides, volcanic eruptions, nuclear explosions, and even the slight vibration caused by a mutated beast stepping on the ground were all mixed together.
Some of these vibration frequencies were clear and strong, some were subtle, some had a fixed frequency, and some were messy. Countless different frequencies were intertwined together, like a ball of inexplicable mess.
However, Luo Yuan guessed that only one of these frequencies was the real pulse of the earth. The rest were just branches and leaves. The key was to find them.
After a few days of continuous experiments, he found that the pulse of the earth was not the clearest one. Perhaps a small earthquake of level one or two could completely cover the pulse of the earth, but it was not the weakest one either.
He had guessed many possibilities, and even thought of using the rotation of the earth as the frequency, and using the long 24 hours as the time of the pulse, but in the end, he found nothing.
The pulse of the earth seemed to come from the core of the earth. The frequency was faster, and it was more hidden.
A few hours passed quickly while he was trying to understand the earth. Luo Yuan looked at the time and realized that it was almost evening. He shook his head and was ready to go back. However, just as he lifted his feet, he suddenly felt that his feet were stuck to the ground. A terrifying force was pulling Luo Yuan tightly. At the same time, his heart skipped a beat and he felt like it was pounding.
The sudden encounter caused his expression to change drastically. He subconsciously exerted all the strength in his body. The veins on his forehead bulged as if he was lifting up the entire earth. Even though he exerted all his strength, he could only lift his foot two to three inches. Soon, he could no longer withstand this terrifying force. Under the pull of the force, his right foot landed heavily on the ground.
"Bang!"
A deafening explosion resounded through the air!
The ground within a 50-meter radius was like a pot of boiling water. Suddenly, there was an explosion, and countless weeds and gravel flew into the air. Among them were more than 10 mutated creatures that lived underground. Before they could land on the ground, they all exploded and turned into clouds of blood mist.
After a few seconds, the explosion gradually subsided. Other than the area under his feet, the entire ground seemed to have been plowed. The clay on the ground, mixed with the crushed weeds, had turned into a patch of fine sand with a hint of green.
Luo Yuan looked at the scene in shock. Even the slowest person would know what had just happened.
"Earth Stomp! This is the Earth Stomp!" he mumbled to himself, unable to contain his shock.
"Low-level mutated beasts have no way of fighting back. Even light blue level mutated beasts would not be able to escape."
Because the system's explanation of the Earth Stomp was rather vague, Luo Yuan had always thought that it was an auxiliary ability, and that its attack power would not be too strong. Luo Yuan had been trying to understand it for the past few days because the Earth Stomp had a certain chance of causing a dizzying effect, which could help him kill his enemies.
However, he had not expected the attack power of the level three Earth Stomp to be so terrifying. It was like a super meat grinder.
"This dizzying effect is probably only for blue or dark blue level mutated beasts. Normal mutated beasts would not even have the chance to be dizzy before they were crushed."
He was excited for a while, but he finally calmed down. He thought to himself, "This time it was completely unintentional. It was all luck, but if there's a first time, there will definitely be a second time. I'll definitely find a pattern."
This ability was too powerful. If he could fully master it, his strength would be further enhanced, and he could even use it as a trump card.
