Chapter 18 Strange Dream
Back at the subway station, as expected, a subway line near the Dusk Church was suspended. The area above that subway line was where the vision was, and it happened. How could it continue to operate after such a fierce battle?
Zheng Yichen found a hotel nearby and stayed. This time he did not use a fishing rod as a disguise. He opened his palm directly. The skin on his palm squirmed slightly, and a short black stick quickly took shape. , this thing was not directly adhered to his palm after it was formed.
Those who can get rid of it, as long as he holds this thing, then even if it is not stuck together, it is the 'mouthpart' extended from himself, the kind that can suck blood.
Losing this thing is equivalent to the mosquito's mouthparts being cut off directly, but it does not have much impact on Zheng Yichen, that is, the consumption of shaping this thing cannot be recycled. The lost mouthparts It will also 'degrade' within a short period of time.
He had done a test and found that after this thing was taken away, the time layer became pitted in less than ten minutes, like weathering, and only some fine powder was left behind after disappearing.
The black gun in his hand was directly inserted into the skull, and the stable blue flame fluctuated violently. In a few seconds, like a blown out candle, the firelight completely disappeared.
Zheng Yichen skillfully turned the black gun in his hand, feeling the changes in himself... There seemed to be no direct changes.
He clenched his fist, but his strength did not increase intuitively. He could not feel it mentally. He directly violently dismantled the empty skull and stuffed it into a bag before washing it. Go to sleep and feel extra refreshed this time.
I didn’t break my habits at all, which made me feel a little sleepy when I woke up.
"It feels pretty good." He took out his mobile phone and clicked on the Hazy City News. Yesterday's incident has come to an end. There was no report on when the vision disappeared, nor any relevant details. He just briefly explained what happened last night. There is a serious abnormality in the place.
But the anomaly has been resolved, and all the wounded have been properly rescued and so on...
What Zheng Yichen was thinking about was why Longcheng harvested so many undead creatures last night. The remnant body, will Longcheng be able to research anything in the future?
To be honest, the world I live in is one where the level of technology is not low, and the Internet information is exploding. But suddenly there are undead invasions, and it feels like a fantasy all of a sudden. It seems that there is more than one kind of strange phenomenon.
Zheng Yichen has been exposed to the world of Dog-headed George. Although he has never run around, looking at the clothes on Dog-headed George and the weapons hanging on his waist, he knows that the level of technology there is also very high. Not too low.
Compared with the side of Long City, in addition to humans, there are also more orcs there? According to the standards here in Hazy City, beings like Dog-Headed George are also abnormal creatures.
After washing his face and stretching his body, Zheng Yichen left the hotel and returned to the place where he participated in the battle yesterday. The traces of the battle at the scene have not been completely cleaned up. The construction team is busy here and cannot be repaired. The place was bulldozed directly.
Some of the damaged floors have been re-cemented. No accident, this place will be put back into use in three to five days, and everything will look like nothing happened.
There were not many people in the church at dusk in the morning. Zheng Yichen could still see some hunters sleeping in. A few nuns were doing simple tidying up the church. One nun saw Zheng Yichen and did not take the initiative like yesterday. came over and asked him what he wanted to know.
Zheng Yichen looked around and didn't see the hunter Arnold here. He found a place to sit down, took out the breakfast he had prepared and ate it.
There is a big bag next to him, which contains a lot of snacks. He came here well prepared today. If he can't finish the food, he will try the storage service here later, and then go to the gun store recommended by Lewis to buy it. gun.
Yesterday he saw some hunters buying guns here, and there were even some flintlock guns that looked like old antiques. They were flashy. Zheng Yichen resisted the desire to buy. He still kept the bartender in mind about this. Some words.
Trading between hunters is possible, but in the novice stage, the things you choose to trade would rather be things that look useful but are actually useless, rather than weapons that can protect your own safety. .
You may not be able to buy high-quality firearms from regular gun stores, but at least you can guarantee that those firearms are all in compliance with the standards of use. Firearms or other weapons purchased from some hunters, It is indeed possible to trade high-quality and even top-quality weapons.
But it is not easy for newcomers to trade. On the contrary, they get a lot of defective products. Zheng Yichen is not eager to challenge his eyesight.
After eating breakfast and scrolling through his phone for a while, Zheng Yichen became lazier and even a little sleepy. The main reason was that the overall tone of the church at dusk was too dusk. Even though he came here in the morning, he came here. After staying for a while, it feels like it's evening.
There was no sense of crisis here. He lay down on the long table and took a nap, planning to go directly to the gun store to buy a gun when he woke up.
When he was sleeping here, he felt like he was half asleep. There seemed to be other nuns passing by, but those nuns didn't seem to be any nuns in the church at dusk. Not only that, but in his ears, There were other people talking.
Those people should be hunters, but what they said was unclear. It was not that those people spoke unclearly, but that a large number of voices overlapped together, which resulted in such unclear sounds.
He wanted to wake up, but he had been stuck in this half-dream and half-awake state. It was okay at first. After a long time, he felt very uncomfortable.
"Do you need any help?" A soft voice sounded in Zheng Yichen's ears. Zheng Yichen, who was stuck in the half-dream and half-awake state, felt light all over and sat up suddenly. In front of him was a nun who was dressed somewhat like other nuns in Dusk Church. Different nuns.
The color of her eyes is still the orange-red color of dusk, but her hair color is the rare milky white, which is directly different from other nuns.
"Thank you, I'm fine." Zheng Yichen shook his head. Being a little dizzy, he didn't pay much attention to the nun in front of him.
"Do you need me to check your body?" "?" Zheng Yichen took a sip of water and looked at the nun in front of him with some surprise. Didn't hunter Arnold say that the nuns here were all closed to strangers? Is it difficult to communicate with them about additional topics?
The nun's reaction now gave Zheng Yichen the illusion that he was handsome and charming for a moment. Otherwise, why would the other party take the initiative to talk to her?
"Isn't this just for treating injuries?"
"That's true, but you can also check your body." The nun explained: "Some hunters will be affected by the remnants of parasitic abnormalities. That requires It can only be discovered through physical examination.”
Is it not a disease caused by the parasitism of some abnormal organism? Even so, Zheng Yichen still resisted physical examination.
“The Church of Dusk has treated abnormal people, so you don’t have to be too repelled by this.”
The nun's voice remained soft and unchanged, but Zheng Yichen felt that if he hesitated any longer, the other party would not ask any more questions and would leave directly.
"What about the price?"
"The basic inspection only costs two hundred."
This is still acceptable, then let's give it a try? The main reason for this is that his identity as an aberrant was discovered. From the time he traveled to the present, he had only checked once when he first obtained his local identity. That check was also very simple.
At that time, his body did not wither due to his abnormal abilities. After the symptoms of withering appeared, he became very resistant to examinations in this area, saying that he was not sure if there were any new changes in himself. Curious that's impossible.
"Your mental state is too active and you tend to have abnormal dreams when you sleep." The nun told Zheng Yichen the results of the examination.
"Where is your body?"
"You are in good health."
Zheng Yichen looked at the nun who was planning to give a report after checking her body, and asked: " How long will this situation last?”
“Within six hours”
Leaving the examination room in the church, Zheng Yichen returned to where he was sitting before. In less than five minutes... two hundred? Okay, as for the problem of an overactive mental state, he himself has no intuitive feeling, let alone whether he can have abnormal dreams in this state?
Having recovered from the abnormal dream just now, he did not intend to catch up on some sleep here to relieve his tired spirit. He stored the snacks he brought with him at the church and went straight to Lewis. Recommended gun store.
The gun store was in the uptown area. Originally, he didn't want to rush there in such a hurry. It would take a long time to get to the gun store from Dusk Church.
I didn’t encounter anything unexpected while riding the subway this time. There was no heavy fog today, just the usual mist.
Zheng Yichen looked at the gun store recommended by Lewis and raised his eyebrows as he looked at the dazzling array of firearms. In addition to selling guns, this place is also a gun club.
Some people who should be hunters are exchanging some information here, mainly the topic they are talking about is about certain abnormal events.
"Is it recommended by Lewis? How is your previous experience with guns?" The owner of the gun shop looked at Zheng Yichen's body. He has a good figure. When recommending firearms, he can also recommend some big guys, such as Those soft and weak young men are not happy when recommending firearms.
The heavier guys couldn't carry it.
"I'm going to get a membership card for the shooting range."
"...That's too troublesome. My club here also has a place for gun practice, but as a hunter, you should practice more A few times will be enough." The gun shop owner crossed his thick arms and continued: "Since you haven't used a gun much, it's better to use this type of firearm, which is very suitable for a novice like you."
< br>
The gun shop owner recommended a large-caliber shotgun to Zheng Yichen. Zheng Yichen's body was strong enough to withstand the recoil of this weapon. Otherwise, the gun shop owner would not recommend this weapon. He directly used a women's pistol for Zheng Yichen to practice. Come on.
“For daily use, use birdshot. When dealing with abnormal creatures, switch to flechettes or buckshot. When you have mastered your marksmanship, it’s also good to use single-point bullets. There’s also this!”
The gun shop owner said and took out another pistol... a hand cannon.
