Nuclear radiation.
Radiated dust, contaminated ashes, withered and dead plants, animals whose genes have collapsed and rotted, or the steel in the city filled with dirty substances...the pollution they bring cannot be dissipated even in the past hundred years.
This is the aftermath of using the ultimate weapon.
"Now that the radiation-contaminated ashes have appeared, we should be able to reach the city where the Mechanicus is stationed in a day or two."
Gu Fan judged based on the number of ashes that the overly lush vegetation in the surrounding environment gradually became sparse, and the number of living creatures was greatly reduced.
"That's... a body."
About twenty corpses appeared near the withered trees.
Their clothes were in rags, and their bodies exuded a stench and rot. It looked like they had been dead for more than three days, and there were many maggots and mosquitoes crawling on the bodies.
"These people are migrating."
Shen Mengxi glanced at the backpack on the back of one of them. The other people were in the same situation. They ran away with their most precious "possessions", but when they came to this area, they were killed by some inexplicable creature. .
Gu Fan's eyes flashed slightly and he saw through some things, but he remained silent and allowed Shen Mengxi to check and surmise.
"I'm not good at examining corpses."
"But these people were killed by other creatures and the wounds were obvious."
Shen Mengxi pointed at the fatal wounds on several of them. Several wounds slit their throats and chests. It seemed that they were caused by extremely sharp claws. They should be wild beasts in the forest
"It's weird."
"Their bodies were not eaten."
Shen Mengxi was confused. Generally speaking, alien species would definitely eat human flesh and blood, but this group of people just let them rot here. Could it be that the alien species have learned to be picky eaters?
Gu Fan reminded: "Feel carefully."
Shen Mengxi walked into the corpse.
She didn't dislike the maggots and flies on the rotting flesh, she put her palms on it and felt it quietly.
What a strong radiation! !
These people have strong nuclear radiation pollution energy in their flesh and blood.
If the ashes floating on the leaves were a small flame, then these people were like burning firewood, even hotter and brighter.
"look."
"Those two have changed their finger joints."
Gu Fan reminded him that several of the corpses had mutated to varying degrees.
One person's fingers became deformed, became more narrow and elongated, and even long bone spurs grew in the bone joints, and these bone spurs have high radiation pollution energy.
"Is this the mutation caused by nuclear radiation?"
Shen Mengxi marveled that the pollution from nuclear radiation had penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
This group of people should live not far from the radiation area, but now that the disaster has broken out, they can only abandon the gathering camp and go to other areas to survive.
"The nuclear radiation is so serious that we won't even eat alien species..."
Shen Mengxi shook her head and walked to another corpse. However, not long after she checked it, suddenly there were many changes! !
Uh-huh! !
The rotting corpse suddenly raised its palm and swung it at Shen Mengxi. The fingers had completely lost their flesh and blood and turned into blades made of bones, trying to slit Shen Mengxi's throat with one blow.
How quick was the reaction of the saint
Even though Shen Mengxi was not a person with physical enhancement abilities, the level gap was insurmountable. Before the bone finger blade even scratched Shen Mengxi's body, a strong sound wave emitted from the side of her arm, spreading out with the help of the eardrum of skin and muscles.
Poof! !
The entire arm of the corpse was blown to pieces, and the sound wave also tore apart large pieces of rotting flesh, leaving only a skeleton.
However... a shocking thing happened. That pair of withered bones slowly stood up? ?
The skeleton was covered with residual flesh and blood, with only half of the shattered eyes left. The flesh and blood organs all over the body exploded into pieces in the aftermath of the sound wave, and fell to the ground in a big pile. Beach carrion.
But just such a skeleton came to life, just like the skeleton monster that often appears in the game!
"Vicious bones."
Gu Fan obviously knew this kind of monster. He knew from the first moment that these people had mutated.
This kind of monster with ferocious bone mutation is often found in nuclear radiation areas. Many humans or other creatures living in contaminated areas will have a large amount of radiation energy accumulated in their bones.
Their flesh and blood life will gradually pass away and seep into the bones.
Over time, the mutated voice bones will undergo strong alienation, and after death, they will turn into monsters like "vicious bones". Even if there is no flesh and blood in the whole body, no internal organs and brain, they can still rely on radiation energy to use the bones to survive. .
They are another variant.
Unlike the carrion, which is full of desire for flesh and blood, the vicious bone cannot digest food, but it is full of violence and killing emotions, just like those violent radiation factors, wanting to kill all the surrounding creatures.
Pfft, pfft, pfft.
The corpses around him mutated one after another.
Of the twenty corpses, more than a dozen turned into vicious bones, emerging from the flesh and blood as if they were shedding skin, revealing the pale white bones. Some of the severely polluted ones would also show a dirty brown color. It was simply Like shit.
high speed!
These ferocious bones are completely comparable to the lowest level of alien species - night demons.
Their mutated bone claws are very sharp. Without flesh and blood and all kinds of "burdens", they simply use the mutated bones full of radiation to move, and they are very powerful and fast.
Twenty ordinary people, after their death, more than a dozen vicious bone mutants were produced... This probability is quite terrifying.
"Sound waves!!"
After all, Shen Mengxi was also a master who had been training in the Corridor of Bitter Fantasy for nearly a year.
She opened her palms, and a layer of sound waves spread out. The sound waves were like a heavy hammer hitting the vicious bones. The dozens of aliens that were completely composed of bones instantly broke into countless bone fragments and scattered on the ground.
"What a surprise."
"Pure bones can also become alien species?"
Shen Mengxi was very puzzled: "How do they look for enemies? They have no hearing, no vision, and may not even feel..."
This ferocious bone acts entirely on instinct.
Their eyes are bursting, their ears are deaf, and their brains are all wet. It can be said that they are both blind and deaf.
How do they find their enemies?
"radiation."
"The vicious bone will emit some radiation energy every moment."
Gu Fan explained: "The air is full of radiation particles invisible to the naked eye, and their efficiency is much stronger than the things inside sonar."
Shen Mengxi glanced at Gu Fan curiously.
He must be too familiar with these alien species, it doesn't look like it's the first time he sees the vicious bones.
"Let's go."
"Be careful in the future. These sternums are transformed from ordinary people. If they are more ferocious beasts, they may be very strong."
Gu Fan warned, and Shen Mengxi nodded. He could not do what he did when he touched the corpse just now.
This is Chi Guoguo "teaching" himself!
