After passing through the jungle of Fengwei Mountain and the suburbs of Shashi, Lang Hua finally entered the city center three hours later.
The place looked lifeless, with ruins left over from "that night" everywhere. Bloody broken glass and car wrecks were everywhere. Ugly and deadly black corpses were wandering among the rubble from time to time. After two months of spore energy transformation and specific tissue proliferation, their evolutionary forms have been finalized. Now, the black corpses that prefer power evolution have full muscles and tall skeletons, while the black corpses that prefer speed evolution are short and lean, have keen senses, and have various special features. The black corpses have different shapes and distinctive features.
Walking here, people will no longer encounter the stumbling and weak corpses of the early stages. In the face of the powerful necromorphs, the difficulty of survival for the evolvers suddenly increased, and most human evolvers with a low level of evolution obviously became the more vulnerable party.
If there are still many people who have not heeded the warning posted on the prophecy and still stay in the city, it is foreseeable that their life will not be easy.
The city is also a steel jungle. Since there is food and predators, there are also higher-level hunters. For the many black corpses who are looking for food or in a daze, the man who appears with a long knife at this time is definitely a nightmare.
"Deng, Deng, Deng", Lang Hua jumped into the air with a knife in three steps. The purple-red blade drew a beautiful arc in the morning light. At the same time, an S2 ghost monkey that also jumped was split into two halves in the air, and its black and red belly fell to the ground, making a snapping sound.
This second-level ghost monkey is the strongest black corpse here, but it was still killed by Lang Hua with one move. He looked quite satisfied with that knife. After landing, the blade of the knife flicked away the blood, and the corner of his mouth inadvertently curved.
Lang Hua's eyes were fixed on the black corpses coming up from all around, choosing the next target worthy of his attack. Black corpses are different from parasites like black beasts. They have almost no intelligence. Most low-level black corpses even lack the most basic instinct of seeking benefits and avoiding harm as creatures. Lang Hua didn't want to cause trouble. After killing the S2 ghost monkey, he just released his third-level aura slightly, which frightened the S1s in the distance and fled away. However, these low-level ordinary black corpses were still very persistent and wanted to eat them. Lang Hua's flesh, drink Lang Hua's blood.
It has been seven days since he entered the city, and this is not the first time he has encountered this situation. He just ran away because he was too lazy to kill. Anyway, he could not kill all the black corpses in the city by himself. Faced with these difficult things, Lang Hua had no choice but to put away the Miao knife with a long sigh and put the two fighting daggers on his calves into his hands.
This is an active military dagger used by the armed police for counter-terrorism. It is 28 centimeters in length, has a black handle and a silver body. The blade is made of alloy steel, with a chrome-plated surface and extremely high hardness. It is a high-hardness special knife specially used to deal with metals. Its blade is sharp and can easily penetrate ordinary stab-proof clothing, making it an excellent choice for dealing with ordinary black corpses.
"call."
Lang Hua took a deep breath and suddenly stepped forward. His whole body turned into a black lightning and quickly shuttled among the corpses.
"嚓——"
This knife poked out the eyeball of a female black corpse. Lang Hua's body spun, and the blade brought out a pool of black water. The next knife pierced the tough back brain tissue of a strong black corpse, and Lang Hua's long arm swung it away. Another knife penetrated the open mouth of a certain black corpse and went straight to the brain. Lang Hua turned around and struck a flying knife, accurately penetrating the eye socket of the next black corpse. Gradually, fewer and fewer black corpses were left standing at the scene.
Lang Hua is not a crazed lunatic, and he does not need to kill low-level black corpses to get pleasure. For several days, he continued to fight with high intensity, carefully understanding every move and style used in the battle while looking for people. After all, this body at this stage is still too weak, inferior to Lang Hua in his previous life. He could only keep practicing, touching the limits of his body again and again in hundreds of kills, hoping to awaken the muscle memory of his previous life. Fortunately, the hard work over the past week has not been in vain, and Lang Hua has regained some sense of happiness.
"Great harvest, not bad, not bad."
After the battle, Lang Hua hummed a song while dissecting the black corpse crystal core. He was not worried at all about the black corpses coming from the outside because of the sound of fighting. Compared with his sword skills, Lang Hua's skill in cleaning the battlefield has improved rapidly. One stroke, one take, and one wipe are all very smooth. He is as if he is an expert who has been doing this kind of work all year round. Most people are slow to dissect crystal cores and even slower to kill black corpses, but Lang Hua is very fast at both. This is why Lang Hua in his previous life can stand out among the many recruits.
"You've been watching for so long, why don't you come out and say hello?"
Finally, Lang Hua stretched and focused his gaze on the door of a closed convenience store. The perception effect of the crystal core field was fully activated. At the beginning of the battle, Lang Hua noticed that there were other people nearby, but this person could not hold his breath. Apart from his slight breathing, he made no other noise from beginning to end.
"Forget it if you don't come out to help. You must be sneaking around to pick up leaks." When Lang Hua said this, his tone secretly increased, "I don't know if I attract all the black corpses to your door, will you still be there?" How do you feel about continuing to watch the fun?"
"Squeak." "Don't, don't do this. Brother, please forgive me. I'm just passing by. Besides, I was the one who came first."
A handsome young man, about 25 years old, came out from behind the door. Wearing a baseball cap, white sneakers, and a red and white hip-hop jacket, the loose fit made him look a little sloppy.
"Well... you are right." Lang Hua touched his chin and said, "Then why are you willing to come out now?"
"It's not because of your power..." The young man saw Lang Hua's glare and immediately changed his words, "It's because I wanted to come out and see if I can help you."
"Oh, I came out to pick up the leaks." Lang Hua looked like he understood.
"No, no, no." When he said this, the other party broke into cold sweat. "It's a help, it's definitely a help."
"Okay," Lang Hua looked at the black corpses coming up around him, spread his hands and said, "Then I'll leave these black corpses to you. Remember to kill them all."
"This..." Seeing so many black corpses surrounding them, the young man was a little confused. It would be okay if he had to deal with three or two black corpses. At worst, they would run away if they couldn't defeat them, but now there were more than twenty. Wouldn't this cost his life?
"Okay." Lang Hua suddenly felt a little bored, so he stopped smiling and said, "If you don't want to die here, just follow me!"
"What?"
Before the young man could react, Lang Hua had already rushed out like a sharp arrow, aiming directly at the north where the group of corpses was weakest. The two black corpses that were the first to come into contact had their heads chopped off by Lang Hua. The young man saw this and hurriedly followed. He held an iron rod and dodged left and right, and actually escaped the attacks of several black corpses.
"Hey, follow me closely. I'm going to speed up. If you fall behind, no one will save you."
Lang Hua withdrew his gaze and concentrated on clearing the way. In the blink of an eye, three more black corpses were cut off at the waist. Although Lang Hua deliberately ran at a suppressed speed, it was still not something that ordinary evolvers could keep up with. However, the young man always followed closely five meters behind him, gritted his teeth and worked hard to break through, and was never left behind.
"interesting."
This man was calm when he was hiding behind the door. He was quite clever after being forced out by Lang Hua. He might be planning to escape now. For a time, Lang Hua developed a love for talents.
After running three kilometers, the two finally reached a safe area. This is a citizen square in the old world. The terrain is open and the incoming black corpses can be detected in advance.
There was no need to fight for a short time, so Lang Hua put away the Miao Dao. After this period of testing, it can be seen that the marrow fluid of silverback orangutans and goshawks is effective. After some refinement, the current Blood Howling Miao Blade is as powerful as a "Noble Phantasm", and it can be regarded as a rare magical weapon when this apocalypse has just begun. As long as he is given time, Lang Hua is sure that the blood-whispering Miao knife from his previous life, which is terrifying to all beasts, will see the light of day again.
For the fighting daggers he carries with him, Lang Hua is also willing to invest a lot of corpse beast materials to refine them. Over time, they can slowly grow into two real killing weapons.
"What a great sword." The young man gasped and admired sincerely after seeing Miao Dao take action twice.
"Really? You want it?" Lang Hua turned the dagger and smiled evilly.
"Ah, don't you dare, don't you dare... a gentleman never takes what others like."
Lang Hua applauded: "That's good. Then do I have to pay some for the hard work of escorting you out of the corpse group?"
Lang Hua got closer and closer, and the dagger got closer and closer. The deadly weapon with cold light was right in front of him, making the other party tremble with fear. Lang Hua was right. If he hadn't endured most of the pressure from the front, it would have been impossible for the young man to escape with his life. But then again, it was the aftermath of Lang Hua's battle that attracted these black corpses. If he hadn't appeared, there might not have been such a scene of siege by corpses. Therefore, it is difficult to explain this matter clearly. More importantly, the other party does not dare to reason with Lang Hua now.
In the jungle, the fox has no chance to reason with the tiger, and this is pretty much the situation now.
"Da... Daxia, don't make fun of me anymore. You can't scare me of my courage."
"Okay, the hard work fee can be waived."
Hearing this, the young man breathed a sigh of relief.
But Lang Hua added: "Who is your name, your level of evolution, and why do you appear on that street? If you dare to lie, you will understand the consequences."
The other party confessed with a grimace: "Muzhou, in the late first level, just comes out to look for food. I didn't know where I would meet you, hero. If I had known, I would have been around..."
"Huh?" Lang Hua frowned.
"No, no, no, if I had known you were there, I would have definitely found another place. Otherwise, with my three-legged cat skills, I would have caused trouble to you, and I would have troubled you to save me, right?"
"Okay, let's stop talking. You are an ability user, right? What ability?"
"this……"
"You understand the consequences." Lang Hua played a trick on Mu Zhou's face.
"It's just a normal ability called 'Non-stop', which allows me to maintain speed bonus and duration while running."
"Oh, no wonder I keep following you."
Lang Hua thought to himself, it's a pity that he just kept walking. It would be very rare if what he awakened was the "super endurance" of the same type. "Super Endurance" is a well-deserved god-level ability among characteristic abilities. It can increase the power of evolvers in all aspects. In Lang Hua's previous life, it was held by "King of War" Hou Shan. As for "non-stop", it is also considered excellent among endurance abilities, but it is only suitable for escaping...
Having said that, if a person with abilities doesn't have any lofty ambitions, it would be good to be a scout by virtue of "non-stop walking". Apart from anything else, you can still have a good time eating and drinking your whole life.
"Okay, I'm in a good mood today, let's go."
Lang Hua waved his hand as if to shoo away a fly, but Mu Zhou stood still.
"Hero, can you join us?"
Lang Hua thought, but said calmly: "Do you think you are qualified?"
"No, no, no, we want to ask you for help."
Lang Hua became interested: "Tell me and listen."
"A few of us have a small base in the community over there. Not long ago, a group of people came nearby. They are very powerful and come to blackmail us from time to time. I think you will definitely be willing to help us."
"oh?"
Muzhou gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind. "We are willing to pay fifty crystal cores."
"A deal? I like it." Lang Hua's expression was quite playful, "But aren't you afraid of chasing a tiger away from a wolf?"
"You could just run away, even kill me and take away my property, but you are willing to help me break out, and finally let me go. I believe in my own judgment of people."
"It's indeed interesting." Lang Hua laughed from the bottom of his heart, "Then let's see what your vision is like. Lead the way!"
"Thank you!" Mu Zhou beamed with joy and hurried to the front to give directions.
