A cool aura entered his mind and quickly circulated to every part of his body. Every cell in his body seemed to be cheering. He had recovered a lot of his mental power from flying during the day. The virtual life form could actually replenish his mental power?
Luo Kai fell into deep thought. No matter what kind of life form it was, it would gradually evolve from the lowest level. There would always be a food chain system. In this world, plants were the foundation of the food chain. But in the mysterious underworld, it was very likely that humans were the foundation of the food chain. Based on this foundation, there was a kind of food chain cycle, in which the powerful virtual life forms must feed on the weak.
Just as he was about to lie down again, a burst of sinister laughter came from outside. The voice was sharp and hoarse.
Luo Kai became impatient. He got up and walked out of the room. On the second floor, Guan Peng's room was lit. His snoring was very clear. He was still sleeping soundly. It seemed that he didn't hear the sinister laughter at all. Maybe he was used to it.
Under the bleak moonlight, there was not a single person on the streets of the county. Luo Kai walked slowly. Jie Jie … Another sinister laughter sounded. This time, it came from somewhere near him. But the person who made the sound was very fast, so he couldn't pinpoint the specific location.
He chased after it unhurriedly. And that voice seemed to be deliberately waiting for him. It walked and stopped from time to time.
After a while, Luo Kai suddenly frowned and slowly sat down on the ground. The original consciousness of this body woke up and began to fight with him for control of this body. Every individual was a unique existence. Even a cell was engraved with the original soul brand. Others could never replace it. Those who were possessed by the virtual life form had actually died long ago.
He was just an outsider. Unless he was ruthless enough to erase the original consciousness, but this body would also rapidly age and die. He was in a dilemma.
Just as Luo Kai sat down on the ground, a figure in a red robe appeared from a dark corner. After staring for a long time, he hesitantly walked to the front. Looking at the person on the ground who suddenly stopped breathing, he murmured, "I thought the one who dared to chase me was an expert. How could he suddenly die?"
Just as he was about to leave, a sliver of silver light suddenly appeared between the eyebrows of the person in front of him. His skin kept wriggling, as if something was trying to escape from this body, but was unable to do so for some reason.
After a while, the silver light between the man's eyebrows gradually faded, and his body stopped trembling. A pair of black abyss-like eyes slowly opened.
The red-robed figure came back to his senses and cautiously took a few steps back. "What kind of monster are you?"
Luo Kai stood up, looked at her deeply, and whispered: "So it's you, why are you pretending to be a ghost?"
The red-robed figure was surprised. "You know me?"
Luo Kai didn't answer. He turned around and left.
The red-robed figure thought for a while and quietly followed.
Early the next morning, several armored vehicles escorted a row of trucks loaded with supplies out of the small county town and slowly drove toward the southeast. Behind the convoy were many heavily armed soldiers.
Guan Peng brought over a bowl of meat soup. Looking at the groups of soldiers on the street, he sighed. "Another group of people seeking death."
Luo Kai frowned slightly and said: "Why do you say so?"
"Our county originally had tens of thousands of people. Look at how many are left now. Apart from women and children, there are almost no men left. Fortunately, I have heart disease and my body can't pass the test. Otherwise, I would be forcibly conscripted."
Luo Kai didn't say anything. He picked up the bowl of meat soup and tasted it. Although there was no seasoning, the taste was very delicious. He couldn't help but think of Brown Bear.
After drinking the meat soup, he stood up and said: "Thank you for your hospitality."
Guan Peng waved his hand and said: "You're welcome. Don't go alone. It's not safe outside now … Oh right.
You can follow the convoy just now. That convoy is going to the county town to deliver supplies. "
Luo Kai smiled and turned to leave. But after taking two steps, he stopped and waved his hand. Immediately, the void was filled with blue light spots. Countless light spots spread out and formed a ring that rotated around each other endlessly, like a bright Milky Way.
Guan Peng was stunned as he looked at the dream-like scene in front of him. For a moment, he was speechless.
Those spots of green light quickly seeped into his body. He felt a cool aura circulating in his body. Some of the obscure areas were all washed away. The heart disease that had been tormenting him for decades was cured.
Luo Kai said softly: "War may cause many people to die, but it will also allow some people to break through the limits of their lives. The purpose of life is this."
… …
Luo Kai walked slowly with the convoy. His spiritual will was completely restrained. The consciousness of this body was like a weak seedling. Not only could he not suppress it, but he also had to carefully protect it. For a moment, he couldn't use the psychokinesis field.
After walking for an unknown period of time, a figure wrapped in a red robe appeared under a dilapidated billboard in front of him.
"Hey, did that old ghost of yours kill it?" The red robed figure seemed to be waiting for him and immediately asked in a crisp voice.
Luo Kai paused, shook his head, and continued walking.
However, the red robed figure didn't let him go. "No, it must be you. Last night, you were the only one who dared to come out of the county. Did you kill that level three ghost?"
Luo Kai inwardly shook his head. This girl still looked the same. Under the red robe was a little girl who looked no more than eight or nine years old. She was the disciple of the Heavenly Thunder Palace's old monk Wei Tuo, the girl called Bao 'er. He didn't know how she had ended up here.
He didn't plan on reuniting with an old friend and continued walking.
Bao 'er stared at his back in confusion. She seemed to have seen this strange person somewhere before. After pondering for a while, she chased after him and asked, "Do you know my grandfather? My grandfather is called Zhang Shun."
Luo Kai shook his head again and quickened his pace.
At noon, a small town covered in dense vegetation appeared in front of them. The convoy stopped and rested at the edge of the town for a short while.
Luo Kai also stopped and quietly looked at the town in front of him.
Bao 'er walked up to him and asked, "Are you injured?
I've studied medicine before. Do you want me to take a look? "
Luo Kai indifferently said, "Don't follow me anymore."
Bao 'er coldly snorted and said angrily, "You don't know how to appreciate my kindness. Do you know how much that level three ghost's life is worth? In order to catch her, I spent more than half a month in prison. In the end, I was killed by you. You have to compensate me for my loss."
Luo Kai couldn't be bothered with her. He sat down cross-legged and didn't say a word.
Bao 'er fiercely glared at him. The more she looked at him, the more familiar he seemed. This person was too ugly. She definitely hadn't seen him before, but why did she feel that he was familiar?
After a while, a strange squeaking sound suddenly came from the houses around the town. An officer in the convoy was alerted and immediately shouted, "Alert!"
In this world, most of the soldiers had been through battles with monsters. They didn't panic. Each of them held a sword or a spear and gathered in an orderly manner. Relying on the protection of the armored vehicles, they looked around.
They saw a group of monkey-like humanoid creatures appear on the eaves of the surrounding houses. More and more of them gathered and surrounded the convoy.
"Why are there so many of them?!" Ah Bao couldn't help but exclaim.
Luo Kai had already sensed the existence of these creatures. The skin of these "people" was full of wrinkles like tree bark. Their facial features had all deteriorated. They looked like faceless puppets.
Bao 'er looked a little panicked. She hurriedly pulled out a sharp sword from her red robe. She glanced at Luo Kai and said coldly, "You … You should be careful. This thing can spread the Wood Transformation Disease."
The sound of gunfire could be heard everywhere. These monsters didn't seem to have high intelligence. They didn't dodge the bullets. After being hit by the bullets, they just staggered and stood up again in a short while. Some of the infected were already densely packed with bullet holes, but they still crawled toward the crowd on the ground.
The infected who were hit by the bullets didn't bleed at all. Instead, the wounds quickly shrank and healed. Luo Kai couldn't help but frown.
Plants had always been at the bottom of the food chain. Even if they evolved and became ferocious beasts, they still had to rely on the earth. They were good at defense, but not good at offense. It was very difficult for them to pose a threat to other creatures. But now, they had evolved to the microscopic level. They could increase their offensive ability by assimilating other species.
In this era of great evolution, all species were working hard to make up for their shortcomings.
At this time, two infected had already rushed to the front of the two. Seeing Luo Kai in a daze, Bao 'er immediately rushed over. She reached out her sword and chopped off the head of an infected who was pouncing on Luo Kai. She shouted, "Why are you in a daze?!"
Luo Kai smashed the head of an infected who was pouncing on him with a punch. He squatted down and observed carefully. The body structure of these infected was not out of the human category. It was more like a combination of plants and humans. They could spontaneously photosynthesize. As long as there was water and sunlight, they could infinitely regenerate.
"The infected's weakness is fire. Use the flamethrower!" The officer in the convoy shouted.
The recovery ability of these infected with wood disease was very strong. However, fire was their nemesis. The infected who were rushing toward them turned into fireballs and immediately stopped their attack.
When Bao 'er saw Luo Kai looking at the corpses, she immediately said in disgust, "You are disgusting. What's there to look at the corpses …" Before she could finish her words, a scream came from the convoy.
A soldier was shooting at the infected on the ground one by one. Suddenly, the soldier beside him rolled his eyes and slashed at the soldier without any warning.
At the same time, there were people in the crowd who suddenly attacked their companions. The soldiers instantly panicked. They could no longer maintain their formation and fell into a chaotic battle.
A layer of silver light flashed on the body of the leading officer. He suddenly thought of something and shouted, "Don't panic. These people have been poisoned. Kill them!"
“
His subordinates were all seasoned soldiers. Some of them continued to shoot at the infected from afar, while a small number of them changed their target and looked at their companions with vigilance.
Luo Kai's eyes were fixed on a roof in the distance. There was an infected standing there. It seemed to be different from the other infected. Its pair of light green eyes moved slightly, giving people a feeling of intelligence. Its two arms were like two spears. When the bullets were about to hit its body, it immediately dodged to the side.
"There's a leader-level infected. Snipers, kill it!" The officer in the convoy also noticed the infected and shouted.
The infected who was different from the others seemed to understand the officer's words. With a leap, it disappeared from the roof.
Thin figures began to appear from the houses in the small town. Gradually, more and more of them appeared and surrounded them. There were some infected who were different from the rest. One of them was crawling on the ground with mud and rocks rolling around its body. It seemed like it could control the power of the earth. There was also another infected who was waving its withered claws. The air became moist, and dark clouds gathered. Soon, it started to rain heavily.
The infected started to attack again. They had completely lost all their human characteristics. They were like agile monkeys. They used all four of their limbs to climb the roofs and buildings and rushed towards the crowd.
The sound of gunfire and killing filled the air. However, this time, the situation was reversed. The three leader-level infected were extremely powerful. Not only could they dodge bullets, but they could also control the power of the five elements. The leader-level infected who was crawling on the ground burrowed into the ground. The ground shook, and dust quickly filled the small town. From time to time, large pieces of mud and rocks were thrown at the crowd.
Everyone's face was pale. The officer in the lead also lost his composure. He said in a trembling voice, "Why are there so many leader-level infected?"
The leader-level infected with long claws directly rushed into the crowd. The officer in the lead was very strong. He immediately abandoned his gun and pulled out a knife. A layer of silver light appeared on his body. His body suddenly accelerated and tangled with the leader-level infected.
However, the others were unable to fight back. The heavy rain had reduced the power of the flamethrowers. They could no longer stop the attack of the infected.
Bao Er wrapped the red cloak around her body. Just when she was about to run away, she turned around and looked at Luo Kai. She saw that he was calm. There was no fear on his face. She was even more surprised. Is there something wrong with this guy's head?
After hesitating for a moment, she shouted, "Are you going to run away or not?"
Luo Kai looked at the long sword in her hand and said, "Can you lend me your sword?"
Bao Er asked cautiously, "What do you want to do?"
Luo Kai said, "Save someone."
Bao Er's face showed a suspicious look. She walked over hesitantly and said, "My sword is a treasure. You … you should be careful."
Luo Kai reached out and took the long sword. He waved it casually. The long sword immediately made a clear sound.
He looked down at the long sword in his hand. His eyes suddenly became gentle. It was as if he was looking at his beloved woman. He said softly, "Help me kill these monsters."
The long sword seemed to understand his words. It circled around him and made a clear sound. It seemed to be very happy.
He smiled. First, he rubbed his eyebrows. Then, he waved his hand tiredly. The long sword above his head was covered with dense electric arcs. It turned into a bolt of lightning that shuttled through the town. No matter what it touched, it was immediately carbonized. In just an instant, the densely packed infected in the town were all killed.
The people in the town looked at the flash of silver in front of them in confusion. What is this thing?
Bao Er was also shocked. She couldn't help but murmur, "Sword Immortal!"
When she came back to her senses, there was no one in front of her. There was only a long sword in front of her. The tip of the sword was facing the distance. It was buzzing with reluctance and longing.
