But what makes both Li Dong and Lin Qian equally strange is:
Why is it that only Li Dong's arms are transformed into horny armor instead of covering his whole body like Huang Shan?
In fact, what Li Dong didn't know was that directly swallowing the heterologous crystal nuclei was not the best way to "prey".
Without formula, the probability of success is only 20%. Not only do those who try it face an 80% chance of death, but they also have to endure the bone-wrenching pain of transformation during the process.
Compared with the mild pharmaceutical method, the process of fusion and assimilation of alien crystal nuclei has always been conflicting. The dangers and uncertainties of the results are huge, and sometimes they can bring unimaginable hidden dangers to the body of the evolver.
Li Dong was able to realize his original wish of "possessing that person's horny armor again" by accident. It was really a coincidence among coincidences.
In the early days of the end of the world when the secret recipe for the medicine from the previous life has not yet been revealed, there are many people who dare to take risks for the sake of powerful power.
Lin Qian's danger instinct was correct.
Even after Li Dong survived the life and death crisis, he only gained some horny abilities. But the first-order initial energy contained in Huang Shan's pink crystal core is real. Li Dong also benefited from this, and his energy level climbed to the mid-first-order red crystal core state.
But as recessive symbionts, evolvers are different from overt necromorphs like black corpses and black beasts.
When there is no fighting or the frequency of fighting is not high, the energy of the crystal core is mobilized slowly. The color of the crystal core, which contains evolutionary level information, will not escape to the pupil or iris of the creature's eye through light energy radiation and be discovered by the opponent.
So this is also the advantage of evolvers hiding their strength.
Of course, even if Li Dong's eyes were exposed, ordinary people like Lin Qian at this moment would not be able to see the depth of it.
Li Dong secretly felt regretful, as he originally wanted to delay. Finally, he attacked at close range and captured Lin Qian in one fell swoop.
Who would have thought that this woman would become more clever after being alone.
As a result, the distance he is exposed to the muzzle of the gun during a surprise attack will be greatly extended, and the risk factor will also rise sharply.
In this case, we have to find another way.
But he still responded to Lin Qian's question calmly:
"Yes, I took it from Huang Shan. I will take whatever I want."
"I have been looked down upon all these years, and finally I understand one thing - if you don't fight for it or grab it, what you want won't fly into your hands."
"Miss, now I'll give you another chance. Answer me, will you follow me or not?"
Lin Qian looked at Li Dong and the other armed men and said angrily: "Li Dong, will you only use force to force me?"
"Hmph," the other party snorted coldly, "So what about force? This just proves my strength."
The effect of swallowing the alien crystal core continued, deeply stimulating his nerves and internal organs.
During this process, alien energy invaded the original system and inevitably ran rampant in Li Dong's body.
He gradually became impatient, as if a fire was burning in his chest.
"Lin Qian, only I, as a powerful person, can protect you. Don't be stubborn anymore! Come with me, I, Li Dong, will devote my whole heart to you."
Lin Qian looked at him with disgust: "Aren't you just like Huang Shan, you just covet my body!"
Her expression was almost like looking at a puddle of dog shit on the ground.
Such a look touched Li Dong's pain point.
The previously suppressed emotions were somewhat vented by the brutal killing of Huang Shan.
At this moment, it came to mind again.
He roared angrily: "Yes, I want you. I have wanted you since the first time I met you, and I have wanted you for three whole years!"
"Why can they think about it but I can't?"
"You have never looked at me! I want you, your heart, your love, your body, everything about you!"
"But I'm different from them. They want to capture you and use you as a plaything. But I will treat you sincerely. For you, I will do anything and do anything!"
"You want to kill them to vent your anger, right? Okay, is it this one or this one? Or all of them? I'll kill them for you!"
Li Dong pointed to the center of the crowd with his finger, and the place suddenly became empty.
The short-haired man collapsed on the ground. Before he could ask for mercy, Li Dong rushed over and stabbed him through the heart.
Another short-haired man ran away, but he caught up with him and killed him with a long knife.
In panic, the crowd scattered. Everyone is afraid of becoming Li Dong's next target.
But fortunately, Li Dong stopped after killing those two people.
"You...you are crazy! Li Dong, you madman!"
Lin Qian pointed at Li Dong and backed up.
Li Dong pressed forward: "Yes, I am crazy! From every day when I knew I couldn't get you three years ago, I became crazy!"
"But it's different now. I've changed. I'm no longer who I used to be. I'm extremely powerful now, and only I can protect you. Why don't you choose me?"
"Lang Hua, what's so good about that pretty boy Lang Hua! He might have been turned into minced meat by the black corpse!"
At this time, Li Dong was panting. The fusion of energy from different bodies brought about both physical and mental stimulation, making him a little confused.
Milky white saliva dripped from his mouth to his chin, looking particularly horrifying.
Lin Qian fled to the door and argued:
"Xiaohua, Xiaohua will come to save me. We talked on the phone, he will be here soon!"
"Dang."
Another 5.5 mm machine-made lead bullet embedded itself in Li Dong's arm, stopping his progress.
The pain and numbness caused by being shot at close range slightly woke up the angry Li Dong.
He stopped and said with a ferocious expression: "When he comes, I will kill him too! You will change your mind after he dies."
"How dare you!" Lin Qian was a little angry.
Her left hand gripped the door panel hard, her veins exposed and she was at a loss.
"Lin Qian, my patience is limited and I only give you one day to think."
Li Dong finally took the people away.
The other party had a gun in hand, and as far as he was concerned, rushing forward rashly would only lead to death.
After swallowing Huang Shan's energy crystal core, his body became very disordered, and it seemed to have had considerable side effects.
Faced with these unknown situations, he urgently needed to calm down to adjust and stabilize his state.
Besides temporarily trapping Lin Qian in the North District, Li Dong could not think of a better way.
Now, what he lacks most is time.
——
An hour later in the club's south conference room, it was already late at night.
Li Dong was sitting in the main seat at this time, a little absent-minded.
The communicator he was playing with originally belonged to Lin Qian.
Several trembling men were kneeling at his feet.
"I lost my temper a little today," Li Dong looked at them playfully, "I must have surprised you."
"No, no. Mr. Li is so powerful and decisive in killing..."
"Yes, we...we have long been dissatisfied with what those two wallflowers did."
Li Dong nodded and said: "That's very good. You can go and have a rest."
But these people didn't dare to take any action at all.
"No...don't dare, we are always waiting for your orders..."
"Go." At this time, Li Dong raised someone's chin with his toes, "Don't you already have a 'toy' Xiaoying? I'll just let you vent."
"Subordinates don't dare. The things and women here...all belong to Boss Li, and they are all at Boss Li's disposal."
"Hahaha", Li Dong chuckled, reaching out and slapping the man's face, "Then I'll reward you again. It's just a woman, follow me well, and you will get the benefits in the future."
"Yes...yes. Thank you, Boss Li, thank you, Boss Li."
With their foreheads almost touching the ground, these people repeated their gratitude.
"Go down."
He waved his hand as if chasing away a swarm of disturbing flies.
Everyone said one after another: "Yes...yes."
He was finally the only one left in the empty conference room.
In the shadow of the corner, Li Dong's eyes flickered, revealing deep murderous intent and resentment.
