This is the entrance and exit of Huacheng Boundary National Road.
Not long after the army left with a large number of people, there were still some pedestrians who escaped from the city sporadically on the road.
Apparently there has just been a fierce battle here,
The storefronts on both sides were blackened by artillery fire, cars were pushed chaotically to the side of the road, and mutilated corpses, both humans and monsters, lay down in the bloody ground.
Basically, no one dares to walk in this environment alone. People stepped over the gunpowder smoke in groups of three and five, carefully following the road.
"Brother, look at that girl." A young man with a flat head spoke to his companion.
The fellow men turned to look over.
A young woman who looked like a student was walking on the road alone with a bag on her back. She was slender, fair-skinned, and had delicate facial features, with a pure and innocent taste.
Several men whistled together.
The woman's eyes turned to them, slipped away, and neither showed the disdainful expression of the young people in society like the scholar, nor the charming smile like the women they were in contact with on weekdays.
"What an upright girl, I'll give it a try." Xiaoping rolled up his sleeves.
"Don't go." A man in his thirties with a golden chain pulled him, "That's not something you can provoke."
He even stopped all his companions and deliberately slowed down to distance himself from the woman.
"See clearly, what she is holding." The man explained to his little brother in a low voice, "It's a pistol, it's not an ordinary police standard, it's a high-end product. She has seen the knife on her waist. Blood, I don't know if it's human or weird. All the clothes stick to the liquid from monsters. This is definitely not a simple woman, don't look at what time it is now, tighten your trousers, don't give it to brother stir up trouble."
Xiaoping shrank his shoulders and dared not speak.
Chu Qianxun walked slowly on the road. This was the area where the battle was the most violent. There were traces of another blunt walker after the rampage, leaving a large number of soldiers' bodies.
But she didn't find the blunt walker's body that should have been prominent.
Obviously only the military has the strength to transport the entire monster's body away at this time.
They will organize scientific researchers to conduct a comprehensive dissection of this special monster, and maybe the first to discover the secret of the monster.
It is no wonder that in later generations, most of the initially powerful saints appeared in the military.
After the disintegration of the world's major state apparatuses, various large, medium and small camps appeared in various places, and the disintegrated former military forces gradually evolved into various power groups.
In the early days, large refugee camps were controlled by these military groups, armed with lethal weapons and with large numbers of saints.
It was not until the rise of the "God's Love" group, a private research organization, and the emergence of some powerful individual mercenary organizations, that this pattern was broken.
If it weren't for the terrifying "human demon" Ye Peitian, who used his despairing yellow sand to destroy the Shenai Group's no-data point town.
Before Chu Qianxun's rebirth, the Divine Love Group, which slogans for the common benefit of all mankind, may have already covered the entire Central Plains region with its own power.
Even now, Chu Qianxun couldn't help shuddering at the thought of that murderous "human demon".
It's okay, Ye Peitian's sphere of influence is in the north, I just need to walk around him, Chu Qianxun thought to himself.
She came to an inconspicuous warehouse and confirmed that no one broke the door lock to enter. Chu Qianxun pulled up the rolling shutter and entered the small warehouse.
In the warehouse sits a well-behaved Hummer with a trunk full of practical substances.
Chu Qianxun turned on the flashlight, confirmed the safety of the warehouse, locked the shutters, and sat in the back seat of the car.
She sat quietly in the dark and waited.
The last time, it was around this time that she discovered that she could wonderfully control the airflow around her palms. At the same time, she was very tired, her legs and arms suddenly became full of strength, her eyes were able to see farther, and her ears and eyes were clear. up.
At that time, she was completely surprised and delighted when she was close to cornering.
With the passage of time, Chu Qianxun once again realized the feeling of her body being repaired in a short period of time. Her sore arms and legs regained strength, her whole body was full of energy, and various functions of her body were significantly improved. .
But she didn't have the fever like last time and couldn't control anything.
She couldn't see any difference in herself at all.
A normal person will have some pathological reactions, such as fever, vomiting, dizziness, etc., when they first appear supernatural. The more powerful the ability, the more obvious the evolutionary pathological response.
"The Guard is Here"
At twelve noon yesterday, the group of demons that fell from the sky, whether it fell on a human body, a plant, an animal, or the land, would immediately merge into it, and could never be separated again.
At that time, many people took the initiative to avoid it because of fear.
But there is a saying in later generations that people who have obtained these initial demons have the most special and powerful abilities.
In order to obtain better abilities, Chu Qianxun took the initiative to reach out to catch the first batch of demons that descended from the alien planet when the demons were descending from the sky.
But obviously she didn't get what she wanted, and her powers were so weak that they didn't even show.
Chu Qianxun was a little disappointed. After hesitating for a moment, she opened the zipper of her pocket, took out the two crystals the size of jujube pits, and washed them with mineral water by the light of the flashlight.
The transparent crystal glowed with green light, like the most perfect gemstone. No one could have imagined that this was the root cause of all disasters.
Demon Seeds are a fatal temptation of love and hate for all the saints with supernatural powers in the future.
They rely on Demon Seeds to improve their abilities, but they are afraid that Demon Seeds will turn them into monsters.
The only thing a saint can take is a demon of the same level as his own. If he reluctantly consumes a high-level demon, there is only one end left—losing his consciousness and turning into a terrifying monster.
Powers are divided into various levels according to their strength. When the strength of the power reaches saturation at a certain stage, if the level limit is not broken, the ability will be limited to this and will never be improved again.
The higher the level, the more difficult it becomes to break through the level boundaries.
At the "critical" time, taking the next level of demons has a high probability of successfully advancing to a high-level saint.
For this reason, many people cannot resist temptation after their abilities reach the limit, and will take the risk of taking the next level of demons.
So everyone has a customary habit. When the saints take the magic seed to advance, they must ask their relatives and friends to "guard".
This protection is not protection in the ordinary sense, but if the user fails to advance successfully and becomes demonized, the guardian must cut off their heads before they are completely demonized.
Even so, when the saints are advanced, the incident of degenerating into demons still occurs frequently, and people call them "the fallen ones".
The low-level "corrupt" will be eliminated by the companions who get along with each other day and night in their own camp.
And the high-level "fallen people" with their powerful abilities during their lifetime will become monsters that pose a huge threat to human beings.
What Chu Qianxun had in her hands was a first-order demon, a demon that she could safely consume.
She decided to take one to further stimulate her powers and see what powers the unlucky one got.
Chu Qianxun closed his eyes and swallowed a small green crystal into his abdomen.
After a while, she began to feel a little chills all over her body, which was a normal reaction after taking the Demon Seed. She covered herself with a blanket, curled up in the dark, and lay on the back seat of the off-road vehicle.
Hot and cold, she gradually fell into a deep sleep,
In the darkness, she saw a little bright green light in a trance.
She kept falling down with the little light, and finally landed lightly on a soft green grass.
"Chihiro, Chihiro." A familiar and kind voice called her name.
The light gradually lit up in front of him.
Chu Qianxun's eyes were wet.
She saw her parents whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
Dad, Mom, where have you all been? Why do I seem to have not seen you in such a long time? It feels like a lifetime.
Chu Qianxun said in his heart.
"Silly child, mom and dad will always be with you, here with you."
The mother's voice is both far away and close to the ear.
Father smiled as gently as usual, held Chu Qianxun's hand with his mother, and walked slowly on the sunny grass.
A front door appeared with a dazzling yellow light.
Chu Qianxun stopped, instinctively feeling a little scared.
"Don't be afraid, boy, you can do it. This time, you will definitely find what you want. Dad is here to watch you."
Father gently pushed Chu Qianxun's shoulder,
"Yes, I can do it, there is nothing to be afraid of."
Chu Qianxun raised his head and stepped into the bright yellow light.
***
Chu Qianxun woke up in the darkness, she touched her face, tears were all over her face.
Since she lost hope in life, she has not had this kind of dream for many years.
Her parents, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, still encouraged her as gently as when she was alive.
My parents were looking at me, and Chu Qianxun said to herself, no matter what powers I get, this time I can live my life well.
She opened her hand, a hazy yellow circle surrounding her palm.
Pray... Prayers
Chu Qianxun was stunned.
She never expected that she would get such a tasteless ability.
