When he left with his backpack, Lin Xi saw three university students, each of them pushing a shopping cart and filling it with food.
At this time, the leader of the three walked towards him and said, "That … we want to follow you, can we?"
Lin Xi thought for a while and shook his head.
In all fairness, the three of them were not bad. They were in their twenties, young and strong, and dared to go out of school. This was courage, especially the leader of the three. He was brave, alert, and had the ability to act. He was good material to be a helper.
But they were just ordinary people!
Even if they had helped to lure the monsters today as bait, would the three of them really be of any use when it came to fighting against the giants?
He needed companions to fight with him, not a burden.
Lin Xi had no family or friends. It was because of this that he cherished them. If the three of them followed him, they would at least be his companions.
It was hard for him to abandon his companions in the face of danger … Could he do it when he was in a life and death situation? Maybe he could, but it would be a psychological burden … So, it was better not to accept them in the first place.
At least in the future, he wouldn't have to see his companions' desperate faces and endure his own pain.
"We will meet again if fate allows it."
Ignoring the three's disappointed expressions, Lin Xi waved his hand and left.
When he passed by the supermarket, he saw some charred things on the ground. He knew that it was Fatty's burnt body. Lin Xi's good mood from getting a lot of food disappeared.
Although he knew that in the apocalypse, Jian Zhi's death was a common occurrence, he still couldn't help but panic when he saw this.
He sighed silently, lowered his head, and walked slowly. At this time, Lin Xi suddenly saw a knife.
A long knife.
It was a long, sharp knife.
The long saber stabbed into his chest with a ruthless and resolute force. It pierced through the skin and flesh that had much greater resistance compared to an ordinary person's. In the blink of an eye, the long saber had pierced into his heart.
The pain was transmitted through his nerves, and blood mixed with pieces of his internal organs rushed up his throat.
"Is it a monster?"
"No, it can't be a monster. In Pearl City, there are only giants in the news. So, the one who attacked me should be an evolved person, an evolved person who has mastered some kind of stealth skill."
In his mind, Lin Xi suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a stream of blood in front of him.
Sure enough, the blood dyed a red figure. This figure's reaction was extremely fast, and it quickly retreated 20 meters away. After a few leaps, it jumped onto a roof.
What a fast speed! What a nimble movement!
This person must have used the energy of the body to enhance his strength, speed, and agility at least three times!
Standing on the roof, her figure was removed from invisibility. She was a twenty-seven or twenty-eight-year-old sexy young woman. Her clothes were revealing, her long wavy hair, her breasts were plump, her legs were slender, and there was a small mole at the corner of her mouth. She had a mature and gorgeous charm.
She stood on the roof and looked down at Lin Xi, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised. She was a mature and beautiful woman.
"Why?"
Lin Xi clutched his chest. Blood was flowing uncontrollably. That stab was extremely vicious. It directly pierced through his heart. If it wasn't for the Progenitor Virus bloodline, that stab would have been enough to kill him!
"I witnessed your battle outside the supermarket. You're very powerful. You can actually fight with the Mutated Giant head-on. A powerhouse like you must have some good stuff on you … I saw you pick up a bottle of potion and your sword. I like it very much."
"Do I need a reason to kill someone and take their treasure?"
The woman smiled coquettishly. "I won't be your opponent if I fight you head-on. However, the skill I drew is Three stars: Stealth. When I move, my body, voice, smell, and even my killing intent will be hidden. It's the nemesis of powerhouses!"
"When you kill an evolved person, their phone will be dropped. Then, the body's energy and the items in their inventory will all be mine."
"As for why I know all this … It's very simple, Jian Dan. Before I killed you, I killed someone and got something good from him."
The woman took out a handgun.
The gun's main color was black. On the gun's body and handle, there was a pattern drawn with golden lines. It was a golden peony! The peony pattern was winding. The black and gold colors filled the gun with a different kind of charm.
It was a kind of beauty that mixed death and art.
"This gun model is Desert Eagle. The gun's name is Peony. The exchange price in the evolution base is 10,000 points of energy."
"Why is it so expensive? Because it has unlimited ammunition. How about it? It's beautiful, isn't it? That's why I gave myself a code name: Peony. "
"The person I killed was very weak, different from you … I think he might have drawn a one-star ability with 9000 points. Then, he was lucky enough to kill a giant. That's why he could afford this weapon. But I have to thank him, because this gun is now mine."
"I was afraid that bullets wouldn't be able to kill you, so I risked great danger to sneak to your side and stab you … Now, with your heart pierced, how much life force do you have left? Let me use this weapon to speed up your death. "
"Bang!"
With a crisp gunshot, a flower of blood bloomed in Lin Xi's abdomen.
"Bang, bang, bang …"
The woman who called herself Peony kept pulling the trigger, and bullets were fired one after another.
The Desert Eagle was the most powerful type of handgun. At the same time, it was also the most famous. It was like an AK47 to an assault rifle.
When a bullet hit, it was enough to blast a fist-sized hole in an ordinary person's body!
Lin Xi had been seriously injured in the battle with the Mutated Giant earlier, and his injury had not completely recovered.
The long knife had pierced through his chest and his heart, causing a fatal injury. At this time, if he immediately bandaged, stopped the bleeding, and treated the wound, it would not be too dangerous, and he could recover on his own. But when he was seriously injured, being hit by bullets after bullets, even an iron man would not be able to withstand it.
In Resident Evil, virus modification only increased a person's physical fitness. It was not invincible.
Foragers could be killed by guns, Tyrants could be killed by guns, and the Progenitor Virus Fusion Boss, Wilson, would also be injured if he was hit by bullets.
Every bullet that hit Lin Xi's body would take away a bit of life force. Soon, he was on the verge of death.
"Ten shots, I didn't think you would still be alive after ten shots … Now it's eleven shots, I'm really curious, what kind of ability do you have … Twelve shots … But even if I'm curious, I won't take the risk to get close to you … Thirteen shots … I'll let you die completely under the baptism of bullets …"
In Lin Xi's consciousness, there was a premonition of extreme danger. The genes of the Progenitor Virus bloodline were warning him that if he was shot again, he would definitely die!
"Bang!"
Another bullet was fired from the muzzle of the Desert Eagle Peony. This time, it was aimed at his head.
"Am I dead? I didn't die in the hands of a monster, but I died in the hands of a fellow human evolver. How ironic … In this apocalypse, are monsters scarier or humans scarier … I can't accept this, I can't accept this! "
Lin Xi's slightly unfocused pupils suddenly contracted into a dot, then expanded into an oval shape. A blinding red light lit up in his pupils.
When he was fighting with the Mutated Giant, his eyes had lit up with this kind of red light, but the light back then was completely different from now. It was so enchanting, so dazzling, it was like …
Boiling blood!
The surrounding time seemed to have frozen, even the wind had stopped. The only thing moving was the bullet. One could clearly see that after the bullet flew out of the muzzle, it spun and moved forward, dragging a long ripple trail in the air.
Slowed down …
Did the world slow down?
No.
I became faster!
Not only my consciousness, but my body as well.
I stepped to the right.
The bullet spun and flew past the side of my face. The airflow caused a lock of black hair that was lying low beside my ear to rise slightly and then slowly fall down.
"What?!"
Standing on the roof with the mentality of a victor, Peony controlled the situation and used the unlimited ammunition of the Desert Eagle to force Lin Xi into desperate straits. Her eyes were saucer-like. She saw Lin Xi's figure move, unexpectedly dodging the bullet!
The bullet that should've struck his forehead shot into a distant tree and exploded open a large chunk of tree bark.
What horrified her was that just now, she seemed to see an afterimage flash and disappear.
Bang!
Another shot rang out.
This time, Peony clearly saw that Lin Xi's body had instantly moved to a place no less than two meters away from where he originally stood. In the air where he passed, there was a series of flickering, indistinct shadows.
"Teleportation!"
Peony cried out in alarm.
"It's not teleportation."
Lin Xi's pupils were a completely vivid blood-red. Step by step, he walked towards Peony's location. "It's just a high-speed movement, a movement that transcends the retina's capture trajectory. There's no need to shoot. Right now, bullets have no effect on me. You can't hit me."
As he spoke, he walked forward and dodged to the side, bringing along overlapping afterimages. He again avoided a bullet that seemed to be moving in slow motion in his consciousness.
"Thank you very much. If it weren't for your coercion and the danger of death, I still wouldn't have been able to awaken the abilities contained in the depths of my genes. First, my brain and spiritual consciousness have strengthened, just like the Gundam SEED's Explosive Seed. I've entered a critical point, a critical point with super senses."
"Second, I can finally take the initiative to control the biological energy contained in my body's cells and transform it into kinetic energy to urge my body's movements. When I move, I reach a speed that surpasses my imagination."
"Right now, I'm in this extraordinary state. I've named this state … Explosive Seed."
As Lin Xi advanced, he moved horizontally to dodge the bullets and said slowly, "Although this state of Explosive Seed can't be maintained for long, and the consumption of the fleshly body, mind, and biological energy is fierce … it's enough to kill you before it's over."
Bang! Bang …
Peony fired her gun in a frenzy. Because she was using too much strength, her gorgeous face became malevolent.
Escape? She didn't think of escaping. Against a "monster" that could leave behind afterimages in the air while moving at high speed, escape was impossible. She also didn't think of stealth. Her body was covered in the blood that Lin Xi had sprayed out. Stealth would also expose her figure.
Moreover, this ability was currently on cooldown.
As Lin Xi dodged six bullets in a row, he appeared on the roof of the house as if he'd teleported. As he stood in front of Peony, the woman's mental state collapsed.
The Desert Eagle fell to the ground with a thud, and both of her legs knelt on the ground. Tears and snot flowed out together.
"I beg you, don't kill me. I don't dare, I don't dare anymore … Right, as long as you don't kill me, I'm willing to follow you and become your subordinate. I know stealth, and I can help you hunt other evolvers. I'll give you all the benefits I obtain!
"Also, my body, I can give my body to you!"
Peony seemed to wake up from a dream. She hurriedly tore at the clothes on her body, shredding her upper garment into rags in a few moves, revealing a pair of snow-white, towering, and perfectly round breasts with a perky allure at the top.
Kneeling on the ground, she hugged Lin Xi's leg, hoping to obtain the forgiveness of this terrifying youth whose eyes flickered with bloody light like that of a demon.
"I'm sorry, I believe what you say, but I can't trust you as a person."
Sword light flashed.
Peony's body suddenly went rigid. Her face was filled with pain, and she fell backwards.
