Chapter 6: The Emergence of Abilities
During the dragging process, Lin Feng discovered that the monster in his hands was not yet dead, as the ice on its surface gradually began to crack, revealing numerous fissures.
No wonder I am no longer afraid of the cold; it seems this is a type of ice energy, likely an ice-based supernatural ability from a novel! So, I too have become a supernatural being!
Calming the tension within, Lin Feng once again swung the sickle in his hand, finding the magic worm in the monster's head and crushing it underfoot. For some reason, it felt as if something had happened in the monster's chest, drawing him in. Suddenly, he recalled the blood diamond he had obtained from the monster's heart yesterday, and Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a wave of confusion.
Lin Feng wiped his left hand on the clothes of the headless corpse, then forcefully kicked the body out from the gap, allowing the little girl monster, who had been blocked outside, to squeeze through the opening.
He shook his head. Although he had eliminated the three monsters and could move into the room on the fourth floor belonging to that family of three, the room also had a wooden door, which was far less sturdy and durable than the metal door here. This made Lin Feng abandon the idea of moving to the fourth floor; safety was the most important thing. Moreover, he only needed to put in a little effort to clean up, and he could continue living here with Lin Qingya.
This time, perhaps due to the fact that the little girl's neck bones are not as robust as those of an adult, Lin Feng was able to resolve it with just one stroke.
This monster is merely the body of a little girl; although its overall strength is far inferior to that of the previous monsters, it is able to use its petite form to slip through the door.
Thinking of this, Lin He-Tu-Shu Feng kicked the headless corpse that was stuck at the door out, and then immediately picked up the head from the room, intending to throw it out before proceeding with the cleanup.
The monster trapped in ice struggled within the ice block, but fortunately, after Lin Feng severed the monster's head, its two claws barely managed to break free from the frozen state
Lin Feng's dizzy head quickly cleared up as he tugged at his arm, his eyes peering through the large hole in the metal door to look outside
After several heavy gasps, the air inhaled was filled with an unusually foul, metallic smell of blood, causing Lin Feng to furrow his brows. On the floor of the room, there were many spots where black blood had dripped, significantly deteriorating the air quality
Thinking of this, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel both respect and fear towards blood diamonds. If it weren't for Lin Qingya, he might have been frozen to death during yesterday's anomaly. However, had that anomaly not occurred, he should have died just now.
A streak of blood light flashed by, and with Lin Feng's full support, the scythe heavily struck into the neck of the female monster, until it was halted by the bones within her neck.
First, he realized that he might possess powers beyond common understanding, and then he recalled the strange black worms and the powerful giant worms on Earth, feeling that it was only natural. However, he suddenly felt a bit scared, his mind filled with the terrifying image of himself lying in a laboratory, being sliced and studied by scientists
A sharp pain surged through Lin Feng's head, leaving him momentarily blank-minded. However, his body instinctively struggled with all its might, attempting to break free.
Suddenly, the delighted Lin Feng stood in place and tried a few times, but the ice-type ability he had just exhibited did not appear again, leaving him feeling a wave of frustration
Upon seeing this, Lin Feng hurriedly retrieved the sickle and swung it forcefully at the monster's neck.
With a helpless sigh, it was not the time to think about these matters. I quickly rushed out of the room, using all my strength to drag the ice-cold monster to the fourth floor, to prevent the dropping temperature from affecting Lin Qingya, who was running a high fever.
With a fierce pull, he drew out the scythe, using his empty left hand to grasp the long hair of the female monster, while his right hand brought the scythe down towards the severed neck.
With a crisp sound, black blood gushed forth, staining Lin Feng's left hand, which was gripping the monster's head, black. The headless corpse slowly collapsed, leaning against the gap of the door.
His thoughts are very complex; he both desires to cut open the monster's chest to obtain the blood diamond and fears that he might experience the same kind of transformation as yesterday.
However, just as half of his body had squeezed in, Lin Feng's left hand grasped the door firmly, forcefully pinning the little girl monster in place. A glint of cold light flashed in his eyes as he swiftly swung the scythe in his right hand towards the target.
It is frustrating; being stuck at the door means I can't get out at all. This is truly a disaster!
Damn it! Lin Feng cursed anxiously, but his mind remained unusually calm. With a surge of strength in his right hand, he barely managed to pull the monster's arm aside, dodging the onslaught of that gaping maw.
Lin Feng muttered to himself, gently pushing with his right hand, causing the frozen monster to crash heavily to the ground in the corridor, stirring up countless ice shards. A misty chill emanated from the humanoid ice block, rapidly lowering the temperature in the vicinity
He reached into the pocket of his陶 jacket, and strangely, it was completely empty; there was no trace of the blood diamond. Lin Feng did not suspect that the blood diamond was lost, as the pocket had not been unzipped since the blood diamond was placed inside, and there were no holes in the pocket. This led Lin Feng to begin to suspect that the changes occurring within him might be related to that blood diamond.
At this sight, he felt a chill run down his spine. Gripping his arm was a monster with exceptionally bulging muscles. The creature was fiercely engaged in an arm-wrestling match with his right hand, holding on tightly without letting go, while its gaping maw was wide open, aiming to bite into Lin Feng's arm.
However, just as Lin Feng had reached out to throw his head through the gap in the door, he was suddenly seized by two strong arms that tightly gripped him, forcefully pulling the unprepared Lin Feng, causing his head to collide heavily with the iron door, producing a dull thud.
Regarding supernatural abilities, Lin Feng did not feel much surprise, not only because he was in a post-apocalyptic world, but also because prior to the apocalypse, there were certain individuals with peculiar powers. There were entire families that seemed to act as lightning rods, struck dead by lightning; some could control objects to float eerily using their abilities; others regularly swallowed poisonous scorpions without succumbing to their venom. Even more astonishing, there were souls of the deceased and those who had perished in tragic circumstances that possessed the bodies of the living. The world is so wondrous that even possessing supernatural abilities could only be considered a stroke of luck, let alone the fact that other survivors might not have acquired such powers.
As the monster raised its head, intending to continue biting Lin Feng's arm, Lin Feng's face turned ashen, as if he had fallen into an abyss. At that moment, he felt utterly helpless, yet the will to survive within him compelled him to struggle, even if it seemed utterly futile.
In the next moment, the monster's fangs touched Lin Feng's arm, but astonishingly, it seemed as if the fangs were biting into hard steel; aside from leaving a few bite marks, they had no effect whatsoever. Instead, an extreme chill surged from Lin Feng's solid right hand into the monster's body, rapidly freezing it within a few blinks of an eye
Although Lin Feng's strength is considerable, the owner of that arm possesses significant strength as well, making it difficult for him to break free for a time, resulting in a tug-of-war of strength.
Lin Feng looked at the black blood on his left hand with a helpless expression. With his current strength, he simply could not achieve the level of not spilling a drop of blood. For the sake of better efficiency, he had no choice but to take such action
"No, it doesn't matter if I die, but what about Qingya!" At the critical moment when the monster's fangs were about to make contact with Lin Feng's arm, the image of Lin Qingya flashed through his mind. The bond in his mind ignited a surge of killing intent, and a cold, inexplicable aura suddenly surged into his grasped right hand.
Gently exhaling, Lin Feng wiped the cold sweat that had emerged on his forehead. Although the overall time spent was not long, the dangers involved were known only to him. If it had not been for the sudden eruption of ice-type abilities within him, he might have been devoured alive by the monster before him, leaving even Lin Qingya in the room unable to escape unscathed
The female monster's hands had completely broken off. Given the current trend, even with the little girl transformed into a monster, it would be very difficult to push open the iron door blocked by the sofa. Instinctively, she pushed her head against the door, but realizing it could not be moved, although the black worm in her head sensed danger, the deadly attraction of the biological brain matter and blood led the female monster to extend her head through the gap.
Lin Feng stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded, somewhat unable to believe that such a bizarre event was happening before him. He thought it might be an illusion, but after shaking his head and looking again, he realized that the scene before him was indeed real. This left his mind in a state of chaos, with various thoughts flickering unpredictably.
Unfortunately, before it could spot its prey, a scythe came down heavily with a whooshing sound.
Although Lin Feng's strength has inexplicably increased significantly, the monster's bones are also inexplicably harder than those of ordinary people, making it very difficult for Lin Feng to slay it with a single strike
He shook his head vigorously, suppressing the complex thoughts in his mind. In the current apocalyptic world, the greater the power one possesses, the higher the chances of survival. Although the government might capture Lin Feng due to research purposes, now that he has acquired supernatural abilities, could he possibly allow them to vanish?
