Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Perhaps because the monster in front of her was not real, but an image, Shi Wanyun didn't feel frightened by the monster's appearance, 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 planned by this monster.

Including her power being eaten away by the crystal ball and unable to move, mutant creatures were attracted by the crystal ball, surrounded her, and then launched an extremely desperate attack on her.

These are all because the other party wants her to experience her own situation personally, to let her know that she is just a fish on the chopping board, without any ability to resist, which makes her fear and completely surrender.

have to say……

It worked.

Now it's Shi Wanyun, who can't even think of fighting this monster anymore.

Although this monster made her experience a lingering death.

A person who has just experienced the pain of incomparable despair, facing a perpetrator who is much stronger than himself, at least for a long time, will not be able to raise the fighting spirit to resist.

"Remember, as long as I want, I can let you, all the survivors in this world, die in pain like you did just now."

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 said?" Xu Xin asked suddenly, "You didn't understand it before, right?"

He didn't open his eyes, but asked while observing the scene in his memory.

"I really couldn't understand its strange language when we met, but I could through the crystal ball."

Shi Wanyun's mood is relatively stable at this time, and her voice has become softer than before, probably because she knows that there will be no more frightening and painful events for her afterwards: "The crystal ball should have a translation function, and it can naturally Understood."

"Is there such a function? Could it be that you can already understand their language after the capsule works?"

"No." Shi Wanyun said softly, "When I just recalled meeting that monster, I still couldn't understand what it said."

"That's it."

...

The monster did not speak for a long time.

It seems to be holding something in its strange and strange hands... drinking tea?

However, only the figure of the monster can be seen in the image, and the existence of other things cannot be seen, so its movements seem to be a bit weird.

Shi Wanyun waited for a long time without seeing it speak, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Excuse me, how do I complete my task?"

Her mission is to kill Xu Xin.

But now she is thousands of miles away from Xu Xin, and she can't even touch Xu Xin, so how can she complete the task?

But even if she asked this sentence, the monster still didn't respond, and the action was still like drinking tea.

A monster is drinking tea.

The sense of disobedience is directly full.

... ignore her?

wrong.

"Well, may I ask..." Shi Wanyun repeated the question just now.

Still no response.

She pursed her lips and looked at the monster.

It turned out to be like this.

Only then did she realize that this video was not a real-time communication, but a recorded video.

That's right, No. 5 told her that crystal balls are used to store information, not to communicate.

... No wonder she didn't have that sense of oppression and fear towards this monster.

She should have thought of it earlier.

Shi Wanyun let out a long breath of relief.

That being the case, she doesn't have to be so nervous.

This monster has been silent, is it trying to put pressure on her in this way?

If it was an ordinary person, after experiencing the desperate death just now, he would indeed be too scared to move at this time.

But Shi Wanyun, as one of the best among this group of survivors, even if she couldn't raise any thoughts of resistance, she wouldn't be afraid of a single image.

Her expression relaxed, and she walked to the sofa and sat down.

The image of the monster projected by the crystal ball is intelligent, changing direction as she walks, always facing her.

But she was no longer afraid, raised her wrist, and watched the current situation while sliding her watch, while waiting for the reaction of the image.

At this time, the situation of the survivors surprised her a little.

"Extremely hot... the sun will burn the skin and blind the eyes?"

She murmured softly: "This activity has caused a lot of damage to my body... However, I didn't feel very hot, nor was I burned by the sun..."

Except that her vision became slightly blurred when looking 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, is it genetically mutated?" Realizing this, Shi Wanyun's mood suddenly became a little complicated.

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 a little smoother, there was no change that frightened her.

For example, the neck becomes longer, and the hair becomes a bug.

None of these.

There are no blood marks on the body.

This is a blessing in misfortune.

Just when she felt a little lucky, the monster finally spoke again.

"I think you should have chosen your side."

Shi Wanyun immediately looked up at the image of the monster.

"The next thing I want to say is your task."

Shi Wanyun sat up slightly.

This monster... seems to have tacitly accepted that she would submit.

It can only be said that it guessed right.

"Your task is very simple, to kill that man named Xu Xin."

"The capsule that you were given before was a drug that changed your physique. Now your physical ability is close to the level of an intermediate mutant creature, and it will continue to rise in the future."

"As a human being, your physical ability is already stronger than his."

Shi Wanyun's eyes moved slightly.

Now, in terms of physical ability alone, she is already close to an intermediate mutant creature.

She made a fist and waved it again.

really……

Both strength and speed are much stronger than before.

Even if her current state is relatively poor, she can clearly feel the change in strength.

That is to say...

Now, even if she doesn't hold a weapon or wear armor, and just bare-handed, she still has impressive abilities.

Originally, she could already fight against mid-level mutant creatures. If she took a weapon and put on armor, ordinary mid-level mutant creatures would be killed by her within a few moves in her hands.

"But power is not given to you for nothing." The monster fiddled with its fingers, opened the eyes on its head, chest, and even its arms, and looked at its own black fingers, "You now , completely under my control."

Shi Wanyun was not surprised and looked at the video silently.

"Like this."

As the monster spoke, the crystal ball on the ground emitted a trace of scarlet light again.

Shi Wanyun's expression changed, and she immediately looked out the window.

Fortunately, nothing has changed outside the window.

No more mutated biological groups appeared.

This is……

She suddenly felt itchy on the back of her hand.

Then, some discomfort symptoms appeared in various parts of her body.

She raised her hand to look, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she almost screamed out.

On the back of her hand,... silver-gray scales like fish scales began to emerge.

And not one piece, but the entire back of the hand began to show lines and shapes!

She immediately reached out to grab it, and could even feel the hardness!

"This...!" She looked at her body. Under the ragged clothes, there were such strange lines on all parts of her body, especially on her legs, where large areas had already appeared!

She raised her hand to touch her face.

There is also a hard feeling on the cheek.

"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 scratched hard at the slowly floating scales on the back of her hand.

As she scratched, she could feel more and more the reality of the scales on the back of her hand!

The scales are gradually forming!

"No……"

She immediately slumped down.

I'm really going to be a monster...

Fortunately, things are not so bad.

The scarlet light of the crystal ball suddenly disappeared.

And the scales that had emerged from her body also suddenly faded away as the scarlet light retracted.

The back of her hand turned into skin again, leaving only the bloodstains from scratching so hard just now.

The large scales on the legs have also faded.

It made her almost cry with joy.

"Didn't...didn't become a monster?"

Shi Wanyun felt that her mood was like riding a roller coaster.

Looking at her white and tender skin, she was a little short of breath.

She was very afraid of something weird growing on it.

She quickly put on a leather jacket to cover her exposed skin, which at least gave her a sense of security.

The monster said again: "I can turn you into a puppet that loses your consciousness and completely obeys my orders at any time, but I don't want to do that, it would be too boring."

It turns out that if the transformation was successful in that state just now, would she become the puppet of this monster...

"So, don't think about it. But you can also use this power by yourself." The monster's voice became a little lazy, "When you enter the state of gene explosion, you can become what you were just now, and then have Greater power."

"With your current strength, the explosive state should be at least intermediate-level. It shouldn't be a problem to kill this Xu Xin."

"By the way, after entering the explosive state for the first time, you will get a beautiful set of scales to cover your naked and ugly body, which can be regarded as a reward for you."

……award?

Shi Wanyun bit her lip tightly.

She didn't want this kind of reward.

There are scales all over the body, even on the face...

That simply broke through her bottom line!

...

"Burst mode?" Xu Xin felt very familiar.

Isn't this the ability of Lou Fei'er's pills!

Gain the ability to mutate after taking it, but it will not mutate immediately, and will only mutate after entering the burst state for the first time.

And because of the irreversibility of the mutation, people who have entered the outbreak state will have bloodstains that cannot fade away.

It almost exactly corresponds to what the monster said about the scales that cannot fade...

Lou Feier's pill ability is not her own ability, but obtained from the dungeon at that time.

He suddenly became interested in the dungeon Lou Feier 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 in a few months, that human will definitely go there."

"After seeing that human being, find a way to kill him."

"Easy task."

The description of the monster still left Shi Wanyun a little confused.

Underground city?

The monster leaned back, seemingly leaning on the back of the chair, and said in its strange language:

"To be honest, apart from being too ugly, you are much more interesting than those animals with low IQ. I still want to communicate with you. That Xu Xin, if he is more honest, I might give him a A bright future, but unfortunately, he chose to oppose us and hinder our plan."

"That's the only way to kill him."

"It's up to you to finish it. If you can't finish it... kill all the rest of you."

The monster's voice is very casual, but Shi Wanyun knows that it is precisely because it can do this easily that it feels casual.

It is as if a person were observing an ant in a colony carrying food and saying, "If this ant can't carry food back to the nest, kill the whole colony."

This feeling.

Casual, but unquestionable.

Shi Wanyun suddenly felt extremely heavy pressure.

Her face turned a little pale.

Is this asking her to make a choice among Xu Xin and other survivors including her?

to be honest……

Very good choice.

"Okay, get ready, let's start as soon as possible, put this crystal ball under your tree house, its energy will tear open the space, and send you to where you should go. I'll explain it later Next steps."

"It's really troublesome to leave a message like this... But the appearance of human beings is indeed a bit too disgusting, and it's really unbearable to talk face to face..."

After the monster muttered a few words, the video ended.

This monster seemed to really want to communicate with humans, so it made such an attempt, and it was even a little enthusiastic.

Shi Wanyun was silent for a long time, and finally decided not to act for the time being.

She is so tired now.

Xu Xin...

Contact him first.

As her savior and her mission target, what would he be like now?

She thought for a while, and got through the call with Xu Xin.

"Is it Xu Xin..."

She made a weak and tired sound.

Then apologize inwardly.

sorry.
