Chapter 567 Sorry
Perhaps because the monster in front of her was not real, but an image, Shi Wanyun did not feel frightened by the appearance of the monster, but the appearance of the monster still made her feel a little uncomfortable.
However, the monster's words made her understand a lot in an instant.
Everything she experienced just now... was all part of this monster's plan.
Including her being eroded by the crystal ball and unable to move, mutant creatures were attracted to the crystal ball, surrounded her, and then launched an extremely desperate attack on her.
All this was because the other party wanted her to experience her own situation, to let her know that she was just a piece of fish on the chopping board, without any ability to resist, to make her fearful and to completely surrender.
I have to say...
It worked.
Now Shi Wanyun could no longer think of confronting this monster.
Although this monster caused her to experience a Lingchi death.
A person who has just experienced extremely desperate pain will not be able to raise the fighting spirit to resist when faced with an abuser who is much more powerful than himself, at least for a long time.
"Remember, as long as I want, I can let you and all the survivors in this world die in pain at any time like you just did."
The monster spoke again.
Only this time, it used its own weird language, so it was much smoother than before.
Shi Wanyun stood there, feeling cold all over: "You..."
……
"Can you understand what it says?" Xu Xin suddenly asked, "You couldn't understand it before, right?"
He didn't open his eyes, but asked while observing the scene in his memory.
“It’s true that I couldn’t understand its strange language when I met in person, but I can through the crystal ball.”
Shi Wanyun's mood was relatively stable at this time, and her voice became as soft as before, probably because she knew that there would be no more frightening and painful events for her in the future: "The crystal ball should have a translation function, so it can naturally Understand.”
"Is there still such a function? Could it be that after the capsule works, you can already understand their language?"
"No." Shi Wanyun said softly, "When I just recalled meeting that monster, I still couldn't understand its words."
"That's it."
……
The monster didn't speak for a long time.
It seems to be holding something in its weird and weird hand... drinking tea?
However, only the monster's figure can be seen in the image, and the existence of other things cannot be seen, so its movements look a bit weird.
Shi Wanyun waited for a long time without seeing it speak. He hesitated and said, "Excuse me, how can I complete my mission?"
Her mission is to kill Xu Xin.
But now, she was thousands of miles away from Xu Xin and couldn't even reach Xu Xin, so how could she complete the task?
But even after she asked this question, the monster still didn't react at all, and his movements were still as if he was sipping tea.
A monster is drinking tea.
The sense of dissonance is overwhelming.
...Ignore her?
wrong.
"Um, please..." Shi Wanyun repeated the previous question again.
Still no response.
She pursed her lips and looked at the monster.
So that's it.
Only then did she realize that this image was not a real-time communication, but a recorded image.
That's right, No. 5 told her that crystal balls are used to store information, not for communication.
...No wonder she didn't feel that kind of oppression and fear towards this monster.
She should have thought of it earlier.
Shi Wanyun breathed a long sigh of relief.
In this case, she doesn't need to be so nervous.
This monster has been silent. Does he want to put pressure on her in this way?
If it were an ordinary person, after experiencing the desperate death just now, he would indeed be too scared to move.
But Shi Wanyun, as a leader among this group of survivors, would not be afraid of an image even if he could not think of any resistance.
Her expression relaxed and she walked to the sofa and sat down.
The monster image projected by the crystal ball was intelligent, changing direction as she walked, always facing her.
But she was no longer afraid. She raised her wrist, sliding her watch to pay attention to the current situation, and waiting for the image's reaction.
At this time, the situation of the survivors also surprised her.
"The hot summer... will the sun burn the skin and blind the eyes?"
She murmured softly: "This activity was very harmful to the body... However, I did not feel very hot or sunburned..."
Except that her vision became slightly blurred when she looked directly at the sun, she didn't feel too uncomfortable in other aspects.
"My body has been strengthened by that capsule... No, it should be that the gene has mutated?" Shi Wanyun's mood suddenly became complicated when he realized this.
That capsule...
She still doesn't know what effect that capsule has on her besides making her skin extremely smooth and tender.
But she always felt that it was not a good thing.
Fortunately, except for her skin becoming smoother, there were no changes that frightened her.
For example, the neck becomes longer, such as the hair turns into bugs.
None of these.
There were no bloody lines on the body.
This is a blessing in misfortune.
Just when she felt slightly lucky, the monster finally spoke again.
"I think you should have chosen your side."
Shi Wanyun immediately raised his head and looked at the monster image.
"What I want to say next is your mission."
Shi Wanyun sat up slightly.
This monster... seemed to have tacitly accepted that she would succumb.
All I can say is that it was right.
"Your mission is very simple, which is to kill the man named Xu Xin."
"The capsules I asked you to eat before were drugs that changed your physique. Now your physical ability is close to the level of an intermediate mutated creature, and it will continue to increase in the future."
"We are both human beings, and your physical ability is already stronger than his."
Shi Wanyun's eyes moved slightly.
Now, in terms of physical ability alone, she is actually close to an intermediate mutant creature.
She made a fist and waved it again.
Indeed...
Both strength and speed are much stronger than before.
Even if her current condition is relatively poor, she can still clearly feel the change in strength.
In other words...
Now, even if she doesn't hold a weapon or wear armor, she still has considerable abilities with her bare hands.
She can already fight against intermediate mutant creatures. If she holds a weapon and wears armor, ordinary intermediate mutant creatures will be killed by her within a few moves.
"But the power is not given to you in vain." The monster fiddled with its fingers. The eyes on its head, chest and even arms opened and looked at its pitch-black fingers. "You are now , completely under my control.”
Shi Wanyun was not surprised and looked at the image silently.
"Like this."
As the monster spoke, the crystal ball on the ground once again emitted a trace of scarlet light.
Shi Wanyun's expression changed and he immediately looked out the window.
Fortunately, nothing changed outside the window.
No more mutated biota appeared.
This is...
She suddenly felt itchy on the back of her hand.
Then, she began to experience some discomfort in various parts of her body.
When she raised her hand and looked, her pupils shrank and she almost screamed.
On the back of her hand, silver-gray scales like fish scales began to appear.
And not just one piece, but the entire back of the hand began to show lines and shapes!
She immediately reached out to grab it, and she could even feel the hardness!
"This...!" She looked at her body. Under her ragged clothes, strange lines appeared on various parts of her body, especially on her legs, which appeared in large areas!
She raised her hand and touched her face.
A hard feeling also began to appear on my cheeks.
"No... don't!" She really turned pale this time.
Her fear of becoming a monster is far greater than her fear of death!
It's better to die than become that kind of monster!
She tried hard to grasp the slowly rising scales on the back of her hand.
As she scratched, she could feel the reality of the scales on the back of her hand more and more!
The scales are gradually taking shape!
"No..."
She immediately slumped down.
I'm really going to become a monster...
Fortunately, things are not that bad.
The scarlet light of the crystal ball suddenly disappeared.
The scales that had surfaced on her body suddenly faded away as the scarlet light faded away.
The back of her hand turned to skin again, leaving only the blood stains she had left from scratching it hard just now.
The large scales on the legs also faded away.
This made her almost cry with joy.
"Didn't... didn't turn into a monster?"
Shi Wanyun felt that her mood was like riding a roller coaster.
Looking at her white and tender skin, she breathed a little quickly.
She was very afraid that something strange would grow on it.
She quickly put on a leather armor cover to cover her exposed skin, so that she could at least feel a sense of security.
The monster spoke again: "I can turn you into a puppet that loses consciousness and obeys my orders at any time, but I don't want to do that. That would be too boring."
It turns out that in that state just now, if the transformation is successful, will she become the monster's puppet...
"So, don't have any evil thoughts. But you can also use this power on your own." The monster's voice became a little lazy, "When you enter the gene explosion state, you can become what you were just now, and then have A stronger force.”
"With your current strength, you should be at least intermediate in explosive state. Killing this Xu Xin should be no problem."
"By the way, after you enter the explosive state for the first time, you will get a set of beautiful scales to cover your naked and ugly body. It can be regarded as a reward for you."
……award?
Shi Wanyun bit her lip.
She didn't want this kind of reward.
There are scales all over the body, even on the face...
That simply exceeded her bottom line!
……
"Burst mode?" Xu Xin felt very familiar.
Isn't this the power of Lou Fei'er's pills!
After taking it, you will gain the ability to mutate, but it will not mutate immediately. It will only mutate after entering the explosive state for the first time.
And because of the irreversibility of mutation, people who have entered an explosive state will have blood streaks on their bodies that cannot be faded.
It almost exactly corresponds to the scales that this monster said could not be removed.
Lou Fei'er's pill ability was not her own ability, but was obtained from the dungeon at that time.
He suddenly became interested in the underground city that Lou Fei'er entered at that time.
……
Next, the monster began to tell his plan.
"I will send you to a place where you can meet that human being."
"It's underground, and it's also an underground city built illegally. Just wait patiently there. Maybe in a few days, maybe a few months, that human being will definitely get there."
"When you see that human being, find a way to kill him."
"Simple task."
The explanation of the monster still made Shi Wanyun a little confused.
Underground city?
The monster leaned back, seemingly leaning on the back of the chair, and spoke in its peculiar language:
"To be honest, apart from being too ugly, you are much more interesting than those animals with underground intelligence. I still want to communicate with you. That Xu Xin, if he is more honest, I might give him a A bright future, but it’s a pity that he chose to go against us and hindered our plan.”
"Then we can only kill him."
"It's up to you to finish it. If you can't finish it... I'll kill the rest of you."
The monster's voice was very casual, but Shi Wanyun knew that it felt casual precisely because it could do this casually.
It's like a person observing an ant in an ant colony carrying food and saying: "If this ant can't carry the food back to the nest, then kill all the ants in the nest."
< br>
This feeling.
Casual, but unquestionable.
Shi Wanyun suddenly felt extremely heavy pressure.
Her face turned a little pale.
Does this require her to make a choice between Xu Xin and other survivors including her?
To be honest...
Very good choice.
"Okay, get ready and leave as soon as possible. Place this crystal ball under your tree house, and its energy will tear open the space and send you to where you should go. I will explain it when you get there. Next steps.”
"It's really troublesome to leave such a message... But the appearance of human beings is indeed a bit too disgusting. It's really unbearable to talk face to face..."
After the monster murmured a few words, the image ended.
This monster seems to really want to communicate with humans, so it makes such an attempt, and is even a little enthusiastic.
Shi Wanyun was silent for a long time, and finally decided not to act for the time being.
She is too tired now.
Xu Xin...
Contact him first.
As her savior and the target of her mission, what will he look like now?
She thought for a moment and opened the call with Xu Xin.
"Is it Xu Xin..."
She made a somewhat weak and tired sound.
Then apologize internally.
sorry. (End of chapter)
