A thick vine penetrated directly through the ceiling of the second floor of the supermarket, carrying with it falling gravel, and hammered down towards Zhang Heng.
Although Zhang Heng's eyes were fixed on the huge body glowing with green fluorescence above the escalator, his body movements were not slow. He subconsciously lowered his center of gravity, kicked his legs forward, and actually came to a set of standards. He did a backflip and just avoided the fatal blow in front of him!
After landing, Zhang Heng didn't care how violently the supermarket was shaking. He looked in the right direction and rushed out!
The mission has been completed, he must leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
Gravel lamps kept falling from Zhang Heng's head, but he was able to avoid them all with his dexterous movement. The supermarket was in a mess, and it looked like a scene from hell.
Feeling the coercion of the Alpha-level life form behind him, Zhang Heng thought in his mind, without seeing clearly what was going on behind him, and threw a ball of lightning with his backhand, while he ran towards the exit with all his strength.
"Zhi...boom"
The roar of electricity came from the darkness, and the power of the explosion directly shattered a wall, allowing the sunlight from outside to shine into the supermarket, dispersing part of the darkness.
The companion organism 1158-1 that fell off from the top of 1158 - Luminous Mushroom, or more precisely, it should be called Luminous Mushroom Worm. A small part of it has been blown to pieces by the destructive power of the previous ball lightning, and the green fluorescent slurry has covered the ground. , but most of them were shaking their bodies. After swaying on the ground for a while, they re-selected their direction and crawled quickly!
1158, who was originally glowing with green light, suddenly stopped moving when exposed to direct sunlight, and began to tremble violently. All the green light on his body faded away, and was replaced by a layer of rapidly growing white fluff.
Even the hole where Mr. Yuan Tingyuan had luminous mushrooms began to grow and squirm, and it seemed that new luminous mushroom worms would soon be born.
A sharp whistling sound came from 1158's body. It was no longer the round Japanese melon. The body was divided into four petals and spread out at 180 degrees. The canines inside were densely packed and uneven. Rather like an irregularly shaped nail board.
Four thick vines stretched out from the center, like four strong tentacles, constantly piercing the hard reinforced concrete wall and then pulling out. After repeated movements, they actually took 1158's body off the ground and headed in the direction of Zhang Heng's escape. Move to catch up.
Feeling the pressure coming from behind, Zhang Heng quickly glanced behind him. Under the dappled sunlight, the mutated creature 1158, known as the Giant Japanese Melon, had completely changed its appearance. If I had to describe it, It looks a bit like a white-haired, four-legged spider with an exploding butt.
Although 1158's moving speed is not fast, even much slower than a normal person's trot, the companion creatures 1158-1 everywhere around him move at a terrifyingly fast speed. In the moment when Zhang Heng was stunned, he Some of them were already within ten steps of him, and catching him was only a matter of breath.
"Death, death!"
Zhang Heng's pupils shrank, and a rather strong-looking luminous mushroom bug had already jumped into the air and flew towards him. Its eight pairs of arthropod-like legs were arranged symmetrically and stretched to the limit in the air, as if it only needed to touch the front of him. The prey will not let him escape easily.
In the symmetrically arranged arthropod-like feet, a small opening was opened where the abdominal cavity should be. It was not filled with sharp and fine teeth as Zhang Heng imagined, but only one dark red tooth. The fleshy tentacles, like a crazy earthworm, are twisting wildly in the air at this time, looking appalling.

It's creepy.
A faint blue light burst out from the gap in the left arm of the machine. At that moment, Zhang Heng's left arm seemed to be out of control. He moved quickly and grabbed the volley flying in a weird posture like dislocation. Here come the glow-in-the-dark mushroom bugs.
The dark red fleshy tentacle felt the change in pressure around it and instinctively thrust forward. But unfortunately, what greeted it was not soft skin and warm flesh, but cold silver-white metal.
"Pfft!"
With his five fingers closed, the luminous mushroom insect did not struggle too much and was easily crushed by the huge force from the mechanical arm. The green fluorescent slurry was smeared on the silver-white palm, without causing any damage to its target.
"His! His!"
The remaining glow-in-the-dark mushroom bugs seemed to have sensed the death of their companions, and slowed down their progress one after another, making low calls, which sounded very much like the last warning of snake-like creatures before launching an attack.
It was naturally impossible for Zhang Heng to slow down and wait and observe the subsequent changes of these insects. He saw wind blowing under his feet and he ran towards the exit of the escalator.
He had no intention of studying the changes those weird bugs would produce. As long as they might kill him, even if they turned into scantily clad elves all over the place, he would not look back.
"I'll give you another big one!"
Looking at the exit getting closer and closer, thoughts flashed in his mind, and with a bite of his back teeth, Zhang Heng turned on the charging mode of ball lightning again.
White light surged out from the energy core in the chest and quickly converged towards the palm of his left hand. In the blink of an eye, a marble-sized thunder ball was formed again, but this time Zhang Heng was not in a hurry to throw it out. Just continue to recharge and wait for opportunities.
When one foot stepped into the escalator, Zhang Heng suddenly turned around, used his right leg as a support, swung a semicircle in the air with his left arm, and threw the ball lightning in his palm backwards!
After completing this action, relying on inertia, Zhang Heng immediately turned back to his body, kicked his legs hard, and jumped out downstairs!
"Zi...boom!"
An explosion that was twice as strong as before came again, which made Zhang Heng's eardrums buzz. The air wave caused by the explosion spread like a mountain. Fortunately, Zhang Heng had made preparations in advance. Although his body was hit by the air wave, It was an impact, but after all, the distance was far away, and the force on his body was easily removed with a roll, and he only received slight scratches.
"That's enough for you to be quiet for a while!"
Quickly getting up from the ground, Zhang Heng glanced at the smoke-filled second floor and saw that there were no glow-in-the-dark mushroom bugs escaping from the escalator. He finally put his heart in his throat back into his stomach and turned towards the exit of the supermarket. Go.
Because he jumped directly from the escalator, and the situation was urgent, he could not choose a good foothold. At the moment of landing, Zhang Heng's ankle suffered too much force and suffered a slight sprain.
But for him, this is not a problem. There is still one cell of life essence in the mechanical arm, which is more than enough to treat this minor injury.
Although there was no movement in 1158 for the time being, Zhang Heng still quickened his pace and limped towards the exit of the supermarket. He wanted to leave here quickly and find a safe place to treat the sprain on his ankle. By the way, let’s see Look at the task rewards given by the system.
"I don't know what powerful rewards the system will give this time. You must know that this is a reward for an emergency mission, and
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The target is still an Alpha-level life form..."
Although he was muttering in his mouth, Zhang Heng's face was still full of joy. He was the most aware of the generous rewards for emergency missions, but the rewards came in various forms, making it difficult to predict.
Unable to suppress his curiosity, Zhang Heng couldn't wait to take out the mobile phone-sized instrument from his trouser pocket before he reached the supermarket entrance. He limped forward and opened the system in his hand with a smile.
But soon, the smile froze on his face and slowly turned livid.
"What's going on! The mission reward has been distributed? Where is the reward? I didn't receive it!"
Zhang Heng's eyes widened and he stared at the system in his hand in disbelief. Five big words quietly lit up on the mirror-like display screen - Reward has been distributed.
Looking around, although the sunlight penetrated into the supermarket from the far entrance, the visibility around Zhang Heng was still pitifully low.
There were several high-end toilets placed next to the shelf closest to him, probably to highlight the comfortable structure inside. The toilet lids were all completely open, and in the dark environment they looked like white grinning mouths. The monster was silently laughing at the stunned man beside him.
"Where's the reward?"
Zhang Heng stood there blankly and repeated what he just said again, but the dark supermarket was quiet. Except for the occasional sound of gravel rolling down behind him, no one answered his question.
Zhang Heng's chest began to rise and fall violently. He was inhaling, taking in big breaths!
Finally, when his natural lungs were completely filled with air and could no longer hold any air, Zhang Heng finally leaned forward and yelled at the toilet next to him, almost collapsing.
"Damn! System, you are acting like a rogue!"
The roar that belonged to Zhang Heng's moment of despair resounded throughout the dark supermarket. At this moment, the supermarket, which had already returned to calm, seemed to be sensing Zhang Heng's complaints, and began to tremble violently again, and this time the shock was stronger than It was even stronger than before, and the whole building began to shake, looking like it was about to collapse at any time.
"I'm afraid, I'd better run away..."
Noticing the changes in the surrounding environment, Zhang Heng shrank his neck, held back the pain in his ankle, and ran quickly towards the entrance of the supermarket.
Even though Zhang Heng's reaction was already very quick, the vibration in the supermarket seemed to be unusually violent this time. As he was running, the sound of twisted and shattering reinforced concrete could be heard clearly in his ears, and several thick cracks appeared in his ears. It penetrated the wall of the supermarket and spread rapidly to the surroundings at a speed visible to the naked eye. Smoke and dust were everywhere for a while, and it was like being in Shura Hell!
"Damn it, this supermarket is going to be destroyed, and I might even be buried in it!"
Zhang Heng cursed, but he did not stop running. Instead, he raised his silver-white mechanical left arm to protect his head.
Ten steps, six steps, three steps...
The sun-filled entrance is just ahead. Just run out and he'll be safe!
Zhang Heng even stretched out his right hand and grabbed the door handle on one side. There was still hanging the hoodie he had dried when he entered the supermarket. The color on it had returned to light gray and it looked like it should be completely dry.
Just when he was still one step away from the door, a figure suddenly appeared at the empty door and rushed towards Zhang Heng at extremely fast speeds...
