Chapter 10, Eruption

To speak frankly, the qualities of the three individuals are quite commendable. In their twenties, they are young and vigorous, and they have the courage to venture outside of school, which demonstrates their boldness. Particularly the eldest among them possesses ample courage, alertness, and decisiveness, making him a good candidate for assistance

Peony exclaimed in surprise

It is a beauty intertwined with death and art

Thank you, if it were not for your coercion and the danger of death, I would not have been able to awaken the abilities embedded deep within my genes. First, my brain and consciousness have been enhanced, akin to the burst mode in Gundam SEED, reaching a critical point, a critical point with super enhanced perception.

Another bullet was fired from the muzzle of the Desert Eagle · Peony, and this shot was aimed at the forehead

Ten shots, unexpectedly, you are still alive after being hit by ten shots... Now it is the eleventh shot, I am truly curious about what abilities you possess... The twelfth shot... However, even out of curiosity, I will never take the risk of getting closer to you... The thirteenth shot... Let you perish completely under the baptism of bullets...

Although I understand that in the apocalypse, death is almost a daily occurrence, seeing these still makes my heart feel uneasy

Peony's body suddenly stiffened, her face filled with pain, and she fell backward

Not only consciousness is swift, but the body is as well

a long knife

The peony blooms wildly, its vibrant face becoming grotesque due to excessive force

Another shot

The person I killed was very weak, unlike you... I think he may have drawn a one-star ability, possessing 9000 points, and then by chance killed a giant, which allowed him to afford this weapon. However, I must thank him, for this gun has become mine

As Lin Xi left with a backpack, he saw three university students, one of whom was pushing a shopping cart and was in the process of loading food into it

Even if today they acted as bait to help lure the monsters, which had a certain effect, can the three of them truly be of use when dealing with the giants

This skill is currently on cooldown

The woman who calls herself Peony continuously pulls the trigger, firing bullet after bullet.

Bang

When faced with danger, it is difficult for him to abandon his companions... When truly in a life-and-death situation, can one cast aside burdens? Perhaps one can, but it would come with a psychological burden... Therefore, it is better not to accept them from the very beginning

It has slowed down

Escape? She had no thoughts of escaping. For a "monster" that could leave an afterimage in the air while moving at high speed, escape was impossible. She also had no intention of sneaking away, as she was covered in the blood sprayed by Lin Xi, which would reveal her presence even if she tried to hide.

With a silent sigh, lowering her head, she walked slowly. At that moment, Lin Xi suddenly saw a knife

When a bullet hits, it is sufficient to create a blood hole the size of a fist in an ordinary person's body

The bullet whizzed past the side of the face, creating a gust of air that gently lifted a strand of black hair, which had been lying close to the ear, before it slowly fell back down

Standing on the rooftop, with the mindset of a victor, controlling the situation, wielding an infinite-ammo Desert Eagle, forcing Lin Xi into a desperate situation, the peony's eyes widened in shock as she saw Lin Xi move and actually dodge the bullet

In Resident Evil, viral modification merely enhances the physical attributes of a person, it does not render them invincible

In Lin Xi's consciousness, an overwhelming sense of danger emerged, as the genes of the ancestral virus lineage signaled a warning; if struck by another bullet, death would be inevitable

Secondly, I can finally take active control, transforming the bioenergy contained within the cells of my body into kinetic energy that drives my movements, allowing me to act at a speed that surpasses imagination

This person has undoubtedly undergone at least three enhancements of bioenergy for strength, speed, and agility

Killing the Evolver will cause the opponent's phone to drop, and all the biological energy and items within the space will belong to me

What he needs is a companion to fight alongside, not a burden

Is it dead? Not dead at the hands of monsters, but dead at the hands of fellow humans, the evolutionists. How ironic... In this apocalypse, what is truly more terrifying, the monsters or humanity itself... I am unwilling, I am unwilling!

Farewell until we meet again

I witnessed your battle outside the supermarket, you are very powerful, able to engage in direct combat with the abnormal giant. A strong person like you must possess some valuable items... I saw you pick up a vial of potion, and I really like your sword.

In his mind, consciousness flowed rapidly, and Lin Xi suddenly opened his mouth, a jet of blood shooting forth towards the front.

A crisp gunshot rang out, and a blossom of blood erupted from Lin Xi's abdomen

Kneeling on the ground, she clutched Lin Xi's leg, hoping to receive the understanding of the pair of eyes before her, which glimmered with a blood-red light, resembling a demon, the terrifying youth.

But they are just ordinary people

I am currently in this extraordinary state, which I have named... the eruption

This time, the peony was clearly visible, and Lin Xi's body suddenly moved to a place at least two meters away from where he originally stood. In the air where he passed, there were a series of flickering and blurred shadows.

Lin Xi was previously injured in battle against the abnormal giant and has not yet fully recovered from the wounds.

The bullet that was originally meant to hit the forehead veered off towards the distant trees, blasting a large chunk of bark away.

What is chilling is that she just seemed to have seen a fleeting shadow

It is not teleportation

With a "bang," the Desert Eagle fell to the ground. She suddenly knelt on the ground, tears and snot streaming down her face.

Lickers can be killed by gunfire, tyrants can be killed by gunfire, and the progenitor virus fusion boss, Wesker, will also be injured if hit by a bullet

At least in the future, there will be no need to see the despairing faces of companions and endure the pain in one's own heart

When Lin Xi dodged six bullets in succession and appeared on the rooftop as if by teleportation, the nerves of the woman in front of Mu Dan shattered

Standing on the rooftop, her figure revealed from invisibility, is a woman in her late twenties, dressed provocatively, with long wavy hair, ample bosom, curvaceous hips, and long legs. A small mole is located just below the corner of her mouth, exuding a mature and alluring charm

While speaking, he walked forward, and with a sudden sidestep, he created overlapping afterimages, narrowly avoiding a bullet that seemed to move in slow motion within his awareness

The pistol is predominantly black, with patterns drawn in golden lines on the body and grip, resembling clusters of golden peonies. The peony motifs, winding and entwined, in black and gold, imbue the pistol with a unique charm

When fighting desperately against the aberrant giant, his eyes shone with such red light, but the brilliance at that time was nothing like the current one, so enchanting and dazzling, as if...

Lin Xi's pupils were completely a vivid blood red, step by step, moving towards the location of the peony: "It is merely high-speed movement, surpassing the trajectory that the retina can capture, no need to shoot anymore, now, bullets have no effect on me, you cannot hit me."

The long knife was thrust into his chest with a fierce and resolute force, penetrating flesh that offered much greater resistance than that of an ordinary person, rapidly delving inward. In an instant, the long knife pierced the heart.

Bang

Boiling blood

Passing by the supermarket square, I noticed some charred remnants on the ground, realizing they were the burnt remains of a corpulent individual. Lin Xi's good mood from acquiring a substantial amount of food diminished somewhat.

Furthermore, my body, I can give my body to you

Lin Xi pondered for a moment and shook his head

Lin Xi clutched his chest, blood flowing uncontrollably. This knife wound was exceedingly vicious, having directly penetrated the heart. If it were not for the ancestral virus lineage, a single stab would have been sufficient to cause death

Teleportation

No, it cannot be a monster. In Pearl City, the monsters that have descended, according to the television reports, are only giants. Therefore, the one that ambushed me must be an evolved being, an evolved being that has mastered some form of invisibility skill

The long knife pierced through the chest, completely impaling the heart, causing fatal injuries. At this moment, if immediate bandaging and hemostasis are performed, and the wound is treated, there is still not too much danger, and it can heal itself. However, when severely injured and hit by bullets one after another, even an iron man would not be able to withstand it

Bang

Bang, bang ... ...

The young woman smiled charmingly: "Facing you head-on, I would not be your match. However, the skill I have acquired, a three-star skill: Stealth, allows me to conceal my body, sound, scent, and even killing intent while moving invisibly. It is indeed the nemesis of the strong!"

She looked down at Lin Xi from a high vantage point, her lips slightly curled, carrying a hint of an elusive sarcastic smile

The surrounding time seemed to have frozen, even the wind had come to a standstill. The only thing in motion was the bullet, which could be seen clearly as it flew out of the gun's muzzle, spinning forward, leaving a long trail of air turbulence in its wake.

This gun, model Desert Eagle, is named Peony, and its exchange price at the evolution base is 10,000 biological energy

Pain follows the nerve conduction, mixed with fragments of visceral blood, surging up the throat

As for why I know these things... it's simple, because before I kill you, I have already killed someone, and from him, I obtained something valuable

Lin Xi's somewhat dazed pupils suddenly constricted to a point, then expanded into an oval shape, as a blinding red light illuminated within the pupils

A flash of sword light

The Desert Eagle is the most powerful type of handgun and is also the most famous, much like the AK47 is to assault rifles

I am sorry, I believe what you say, but I cannot trust you as a person

At that moment, the eldest of the three approached him and said, "Um... we would like to follow you, is that alright?"

The peony, as if awakening from a dream, hurriedly tore at her clothes, quickly shredding her top into tatters, revealing a pair of snow-white, towering breasts, with the tips being pert and enticingly rounded.

As Lin Xi advanced, he deftly dodged the bullets while slowly saying: "Although the state of eruption cannot be sustained for long, the consumption on the physical body, the mind, and the biological energy is quite severe, however... before it ends, killing you will be sufficient"

Has the world slowed down

Why is it so expensive? Because it has unlimited ammunition. What do you think? The gun is quite beautiful, isn't it? That's why I also gave myself a codename: Peony

What!

Murder and robbery, is a reason needed

Each bullet that struck Lin Xi's body took away a bit of his vitality, and soon, he was on the brink of death

The woman took out a handgun

Lin Xi has no family or friends; it is precisely because of this lack that he cherishes companionship all the more. If the three were to follow him, they would at least be considered companions

Ignoring the disappointed expressions of the three, Lin Xi waved his hand and turned to leave

Fearful that the bullet might not kill you, I took the immense risk of sneaking up to your side and delivered a stab... Now, with your heart pierced, how much vitality do you have left? Allow me to use this weapon to hasten your demise

Step to the right

Such swift speed and agile skills

Not correct

I have become faster

a sharp long knife

Is it a monster

Why

Bang, bang, bang ... ...

Indeed, the blood cast the shape of a red shadow, which reacted extremely quickly, retreating at high speed to a distance of 20 meters, leaping onto the roof of a building after several jumps

Please, I beg you, do not kill me. I am no longer brave, I will never dare again... By the way, as long as you do not kill me, I am willing to follow you and become your subordinate. I can stealthily assist you in hunting other evolved beings, and all the benefits will go to you!
