Facing the sharp blade in Wu Zhifei's hand, as a middle school student, he was shorter than an adult man, which actually became an advantage at this moment. Yan Jingxing ducked his neck and avoided the blade. Only a small part of his hair was cut off, and his hair was messy. Threads fly in the air;
At the same time, using the cover of his arm, he launched an unexpected flying knife and hit Wu Zhifei's thigh.
The flying knife was deeply embedded in the leg muscles, and blood flowed like a torrent; however, the man opposite him had an expressionless face as if he couldn't feel the pain at all, and he swung the fist holding the sharp knife back at him again.
too close.
Faced with a punch that was more powerful than that of a professional boxer and a heavy and high-speed movement trajectory, even though he could see it clearly, his body could not avoid it at all.
Yan Jingxing didn't even think about hiding. He raised his other hand, and the cold light from the gun muzzle circulated at a very close range.
"boom!"
If you try to hit the head, you may be easily dodged again.
So he shot him in the torso. Even if it is not fatal, if there are enough bleeding wounds, it can still defeat the opponent; at the same time, as long as the opponent makes a dodge action, the fist that is about to hit him may be withdrawn.
However, Wu Zhifei did not dodge at all.
He bent his waist and bent his legs, just like hard training in traditional martial arts, holding his breath and using his body to catch the bullet like a stick. The impact of the gunshot caused his body to swing sharply to the side, but the fist on the other side had already hit the target hard.
Yan Jingxing barely blocked the blade with his arm. The blade only hit his arm but did not disembowel him.
A large amount of blood spattered wantonly, and the sharp blade cut into almost half of the arm. In the end, the ulna blocked the cut.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two more shots were fired. The first shot directly hit Wu Zhifei's injured shoulder at close range, completely destroying his arm; but when the trigger was pulled the second time, the machete that had cut into the arm had been pulled out. , and lifted it up and to the side, almost cutting off all five of the boy's fingers.
In order to prevent his palms from becoming bare, Yan Jingxing could only choose to let go.
The pistol was chopped away with a knife, and Wu Zhifei raised his foot and kicked him hard.
"Well……!"
Yan Jingxing's whole body flew up involuntarily, and fell heavily to the ground with a "thud".
He groaned in pain for the first time, and his face twisted uncontrollably.
[Warrior Instinct] suppressed all negative emotions and even took over his body's internal circulatory system; he could feel the crazy secretion of adrenaline, temporarily blocking the pain felt by his brain.
Even if he saw the horrific wound on his arm that seemed like half of it was about to fall off, he would not feel any fear; as long as he could still hold the weapon, he could continue fighting.
This superhuman state cannot last long. He has used it too frequently tonight and has already exhausted it. In less than two minutes, Yan Jingxing will have to face all this with the will of an ordinary person——
But the primary issue now is no longer the duration of ability.
But after calm calculation and analysis, he believed that his body could no longer support the fight.
Intense pain was radiating from his internal organs, and his nervous system was flashing red lights, making it difficult for him to stand up.
Shoot the opponent in the shoulder with a shotgun, hit the opponent in the thigh with a throwing knife, and hit the opponent in the torso twice with a pistol——
The opponent only used one kick to make him lose the ability to fight.
"Ahem, failed..."
he thought.
Sure enough, you can't expect the other party to make wrong judgments, because the other party has the same ability as you.
The battle between the two is like two top chess players who can calculate and see through each other's moves. In this way, the outcome is determined by the chips outside the game.
The difference in physical fitness is too big... If he were four or five years older, his chances of winning would be different.
"It seems that I won."
Wu Zhifei's pupils gradually returned to calm, the corners of his mouth were distorted by pain and a smile, and then he picked up the keys on the road.
Yan Jingxing didn't answer. He didn't even have the strength to stand up. The only thing he could do was to roll behind the cement pillar again.
He picked up the shotgun and held it in his arms, took a deep breath, and also ended the use of his ability. In an instant, the suppressed pain surged in like a tidal wave.
"There is no need to fight anymore, otherwise I will not show mercy."
Wu Zhifei said something to the corner where Yan Jingxing was hiding, then turned around and walked towards the safe.
His expression was satisfied, and his eyes were filled with excitement and expectation. Although he was seriously injured, his personal momentum had reached its peak.
Finally... finally this moment has arrived.
He will get the weapon he dreamed of, and from then on he will be reborn and become a "Superman" in the true sense——
…
Yan Jingxing closed his eyes tightly, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, his hands and feet were trembling, and his lips had been bitten by hard teeth, but he didn't even notice.
In addition - his ribs may have been broken, and he didn't know how many internal organs were bleeding internally.
Blood full of heat was flowing out of his body continuously, leaving behind a body that was gradually losing its vitality and becoming cold.
If this continues, will I... die?
No, this seems to be...not a problem at all?
Wu Zhifei didn't kill him, but he had said it bluntly, even if he decided to let him go, the remaining people would kill him...
Haven't they fired yet? What are you waiting for? Are you waiting to bleed to death?
At this time, he heard a weak cry.
"you……"
Yan Jingxing turned his head and saw the split-headed dog walking out of the darkness, limping to his side, and then lay down weakly.
It was covered in blood, and he saw several holes, which were gunshot holes...
Almost as bad as myself.
Were you shot by those people in black when you broke in again?
Yan Jingxing noticed that both of its heads were weakly sticking out their tongues. Although they are alien creatures, their base is still dogs on Earth.
"It's so miserable. Thank you for coming to save me...Huh? By the way, it was Yuzhi who asked you to come here. She can actually give orders to you. It seems that you are really desperate...I remember that you recovered quickly. With my abilities, I might have a chance to survive... Alas, my body is still that of an ordinary person, but it’s not that convenient anymore.”
Yan Jingxing felt that his body was getting colder and colder. He suddenly noticed the collar hanging on the neck of the split-headed dog and the capsule box on the collar.
"This is……"
His brain, which had become groggy due to excessive blood loss, suddenly had an idea at this moment.
He quickly opened the box with trembling fingers and took out a key and a piece of paper.
After reading the above content clearly, Yan Jingxing couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"...I see. It's a pity that in my current state, even if I have the key, I can't fight for it."
He had already had a premonition that death was approaching, and being able to receive Miss Xie's message before he died gave the boy a moment of peace of mind.
Yan Jingxing closed his eyes.
It is said that a person will replay his life before he dies, but perhaps because he is still too young, his mind is blank and unable to think.
He just instinctively wanted to make his surroundings quieter.
but--
Things never go his way.
"very noisy……"
He frowned and opened his eyes again.
The entire warehouse was shaking violently, and the ground was bumping like a ship riding the wind and waves, as if there was an undulating sea beneath the cold concrete floor.
"This is...what happened..."
The dome of the warehouse is blooming with cracks, and the night and air from the outside world are pouring in.
The huge demonic shadow was like a jungle reflected in the water, swaying through it.
Yan Jingxing raised his head and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
…
Wu Zhifei's eyes widened.
"This, this feeling is..."
He was shocked beyond measure.
"How could this kind of monster... appear in a place like this?"
What is going on in this town? Did the person who asked him to come know this already? If the other party had known earlier, would they still have assigned him to come alone?
He took a deep breath and shouted:
"Retreat! Everyone, retreat!"
As he spoke, Wu Zhifei's muscles all over his body expanded, and the bullets that had penetrated his body were ejected one by one. The scars were healing at an alarming speed visible to the naked eye, and both broken bones and cracked muscles were being healed.
Of course, this is not the power that humans should have. From this point of view, what he said before "wanting to use that weapon to obtain power that exceeds the biological definition of human beings" seems a bit strange, because he has obviously obtained similar power. strength.
only……
Wu Zhifei is getting taller. He was originally over two meters tall, and now he is over two and a half meters tall. He is like a giant.
The man scratched his cheeks, which were covered with wild hair, in disgust. His nails also grew long and were as sharp as wild beasts.
"As long as I can get the real 'element body', I can escape from this inhuman and ghostly appearance... It's just one step away."
Wu Zhifei raised his head again.
But he knows better that if the monster that appears here is really the one shown in the data, then wherever it passes, it will leave behind ruins, just like the doomsday scene after a natural disaster.
The reason is that the monster itself has a terrifying attraction. The specific mechanism is still unknown, but the effect is enough to uproot a row of skyscrapers or a town, smash it into pieces, and suck it into the bottomless "whirlpool." .
If you don't escape a certain distance before it completely descends on the earth, it will be hopeless.
…
"So quickly...it took a day and a half last time. Chunzao...you are also working hard."
Yan Jingxing laughed, his vision became blurry, and he wondered if it was stained with blood.
"It seems that I can't give up just yet...it's not time to admit defeat yet."
He activates his powers again.
And...less than a minute and a half.
Although he was no longer able to fight, he could continue to maintain a certain degree of mobility by squeezing the last bit of life out of his body.
Even though he was on the verge of death, he still managed to stand up.
To be honest, even if you can find the body, what's the use? He is already dying.
However, he didn't have the time to think about things like "Is it useful?" People before death often only have one or two thoughts that they are particularly persistent about.
…
Wu Zhifei finally chose to retreat.
There is no other reason, because he still has his "warrior instinct" turned on, and it is telling him what to do.
This is the most rational and calm judgment. There is no need to deliberately take risks when you can escape unscathed.
He - or "it" in the eyes of others, looked like an upright beast, with jet black hair all over his body, casually pushing aside the fallen cement bricks.
His power now far exceeds that of humans. Maybe he can just move the safe?
Thinking this, he turned around again when he was halfway through the run. At this time, he saw a weak figure walking staggeringly in the warehouse that was about to collapse.
...You're not dead yet, but you still want to touch my things?
At this time, Wu Zhifei no longer cared about his qualifications. He casually raised a cement block that was more than half the height of a person and tens of centimeters behind, and threw it directly like a discus.
"boom!"
The figure didn't even groan and fell down.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of bricks and tiles fell together with the earthquake, and there was even an entire concrete pillar that fell down right in the middle.
He could fully imagine that the people who were crushed underneath were destined to have their muscles and bones broken, crushed into a pulp, and die beyond death.
At the same time, he could already feel the terrifying tornado-like suction force that had begun to tear apart the surface of the earth. Everything around him was floating up like anti-gravity, as if he had arrived in the universe...
Wu Zhifei no longer hesitated. He turned around, kicked off his feet, and jumped up, eight meters above the ground, as if gliding out of the ruins of the warehouse that was about to be swept away by the coming beast.
