Xu Xin stood there, quietly waiting for his mutation to be completed.
The scar on the back of Ma Hongwei's head and the several scars on his face caused by falling from the Silver King just now had fully recovered.
"… Is this the process of active mutation?" Lou Feier was a little surprised. "There are so many blood lines on his face. When I mutated, I didn't seem to have so many blood lines on my face, right?"
When Lou Feier first mutated, she had seen her mutated appearance in the stream, and she knew that there were only two blood lines on her face. Even though there were only two, she couldn't stand it, and Ma Hongwei's face had so many blood lines, which made it even more difficult for her to accept.
"No, only two." Xu Xin looked at Ma Hongwei and responded to her.
Perhaps, it is because the dying mutant used some of its energy to repair its own serious injuries, so the blood lines are not very dense.
“… Isn’t this what it looks like after spontaneous mutation? I will never spontaneously mutate again!” Lou Feier took a small step back with a bit of fear on her face.
"Okay, all of you stay away." Xu Xin waved at Lou Feier and the beasts.
After they all went far away, Xu Xin looked at Ma Hongwei, who was about seven or eight meters away from him, with his head down and not moving, and felt a little strange.
Does he still have his own consciousness now? Or is he just left with the instinct to attack
Why are you not moving
"You can start now." Xu Xin said to him tentatively.
After he said this, Ma Hongwei took action immediately.
He slowly raised his head, revealing his blood-streaked face and eyes that were completely stained red.
Then he walked towards Xu Xin.
"Bang!"
A heavy sound was heard as one foot stepped on the ground, causing the surrounding ground to tremble.
This is…
He took another step forward.
"Bang!"
Dust rose from the ground.
Xu Xin discovered that there was some dry land under Ma Hongwei's feet, which actually cracked when he stepped on it!
… Is this, an increase in strength? Has the strength increased
The physical ability that Ma Hongwei enhanced after his mutation is strength
With his enhanced hearing today, he could hear Ma Hongwei's muscles and bones making strange sounds, which were so powerful that they even made his scalp tingle.
The man who originally looked relatively thin had his limbs and muscles swelled up, as did his body, as if an ordinary skinny man had suddenly turned into a low-profile version of the Hulk.
Power mutation!
Xu Xin put away the halberd in his hand. His current strength was definitely not comparable to that of an ordinary survivor, so he planned to fight Ma Hongwei with his bare hands.
"Hey! Are you crazy?" Lou Fei'er was leaning against a tree trunk to watch the show. When she saw Xu Xin put away his weapon, she was stunned for a moment, then stood up and shouted, "You want to fight this guy with your bare hands? How can you win!"
In her opinion, as long as Xu Xin holds the halberd, he can easily play with Ma Hongwei on the opposite side who has entered the mutation outbreak state.
Because she had suffered from this halberd before. The halberd scratched her body a few times without hurting her much, but made her feel even weaker, as if it was absorbing her strength.
But if he put away the halberd and lost the advantage of the weapon, she didn't think Xu Xin would be able to fight against Ma Hongwei who was in an explosive state.
Xu Xin ignored her and slowly backed away, keeping a certain distance from Ma Hongwei who was approaching step by step, and asked: "Are you still conscious now?"
Ma Hongwei continued to walk towards him step by step, the red eyes staring at him intently but without saying a word.
"If you are still conscious, say something." Xu Xin frowned.
As a result, he still did not react and continued to approach Xu Xin with heavy steps.
“Bang! Bang!”
… It seems that he has no consciousness of his own. But what does it mean that he keeps slowly approaching me
He looks so stupid in this state, and his movements are so slow that he looks almost like a target.
He slowly retreated to the side of Mimi and the others and said, "If he doesn't attack you, then don't move."
Xu Xin walked backwards past Mimi and the others, and Ma Hongwei followed him step by step.
Even though the Silver King Mimi were only a few dozen centimeters away from him, he ignored them. His eyes were fixed on Xu Xin and his breathing was very heavy.
Because he was too close, the Silver King bared his fangs and let out a low growl from his throat. Mimi also tensed up and opened her mouth to breathe threateningly at him.
But he turned a blind eye and followed Xu Xin's steps, moving forward step by step.
Does he have his own consciousness
Xu Xin retreated to Lou Feier's side and said to her, "Go over there, don't attack him, push him twice to see how he reacts."
"Ah?" Lou Fei'er's face turned bitter. "Let me go? I can't beat him. He's in the outbreak stage now. I..."
"If he wants to attack you, just dodge. Aren't you good at dodging?" Xu Xin thought of the time in the tree house when he swung his halberd but couldn't attack Lou Feier. She was running around like a slippery loach.
"Okay..." Lou Feier couldn't disobey Xu Xin's order, so she could only walk towards Ma Hongwei with a bitter face.
Ma Hongwei responded to Lou Feier who was coming towards him.
Ma Hongwei raised his hand.
"Ah!" Seeing that he moved slowly, Lou Feier tried to block him with her hands, but was pushed to the ground.
She rolled over nimbly and stood up.
“What…” She was speechless and brushed off the dust on her body.
This guy had absolutely no desire to attack her, he just felt that she was a bit in the way.
"He pushed my hand just now. It looked casual, but the force was so great that I couldn't push him away or stop him." Lou Feier explained to Xu Xin.
Xu Xin nodded. He had some understanding of Ma Hongwei’s current situation.
He seemed to have been executing the idea he had before his autonomous mutation, which was to fight Xu Xin and defeat him so that he could survive.
Apart from that, he seemed to have no idea what was going on.
… This explosive state seems a bit useless.
Shaking his head, Xu Xin decided not to retreat anymore and face him head-on to test his current strength.
Ma Hongwei continued to walk towards him step by step. When he was only about two meters away from him, he bent his knees slightly, then suddenly rushed towards him and punched him in the face.
Xu Xin immediately raised his arms in front of his face like a boxer.
"Bang!" A huge force hit his arm, causing him to slide back one or two meters, and then take two steps back.
What a strong force!
Ma Hongwei's power after the mutation is much greater than his own!
He felt both of his arms trembling slightly. If it weren't for the protection of the purple-level scale armor, this punch would probably have directly crippled the hands of an ordinary survivor!
Ma Hongwei's movements had quickened. He quickly got close to him and punched him again!
Since he already knew that the opponent was stronger than him, Xu Xin naturally would not confront him head-on. Instead, he twisted his body and dodged the opponent's punch. At the same time, he swung his fist and hit Ma Hongwei's bloody face with a "bang", then turned around and jumped back two meters.
He felt a dull pain in his fist.
Why is his face so hard!
Ma Hongwei endured Xu Xin's tentative punch without his head shaking at all. Xu Xin felt as if he had hit a stone, but the stone did not move at all.
Xu Xin looked at his face. His face, which was already covered with bloodshot, showed no trace of blood. His red eyes were still staring at Xu Xin.
He is very strong, muscular, and has a strong ability to withstand blows. There is really something about Ma Hongwei's explosive state.
"His current explosive state seems to be a little stronger than yours." Xu Xin said to Lou Feier who was watching from the side.
"… Who said that? He's so slow that he can't even touch a hair of mine!" Lou Fei'er was immediately dissatisfied. She wanted to be the leader of all the contracted survivors. "They're not the same type of mutations. There's no way they can be compared!"
Indeed, although Ma Hongwei's mutated state is faster than that of ordinary people, it is still too slow in the eyes of Xu Xin and Lou Feier.
Of course, the punch speed is still very fast.
It seems that this variation also has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Lou Feier's mutation speed was fast and her attack power was also very high, but her body was too fragile. After just one punch from Xu Xin, she was knocked against the wall and fell to the ground, struggling and unable to get up.
As for Ma Hongwei, Xu Xin used half of his strength to hit him in the face, but he didn't even move, and there was no trace on his face.
This defensive power is simply amazing!
Now that he knew the functions and defects of the pill, Xu Xin decided to take the initiative to attack.
He quickly got close to Ma Hongwei, dodged his punch, and threw a powerful uppercut at his chin!
"Bang!"
This time Ma Hongwei reacted and raised his head slightly.
"… This is too hard!" Xu Xin said helplessly, clenching his fist.
Ma Hongwei was fine, but his fist hurt a lot.
At this moment, Ma Hongwei suddenly made a quick move, grabbed his arm tightly, and was about to throw him to the ground over his shoulder!
"Fuck!" Xu Xin felt the world spinning in an instant.
"Bang!"
Xu Xin was hit hard on the ground and felt like his whole body was falling apart.
"Ah!" Coco screamed in surprise.
Then Ma Hongwei was about to step on him, and he quickly endured the feeling that his whole body was about to fall apart, and rolled over to get up from the ground.
"Use your weapons quickly! Why do you have to fight a monster in explosive state with your bare hands!" Lou Feier couldn't bear it anymore.
Seeing Xu Xin being beaten, as someone who had signed a contract with Xu Xin, she couldn't help but go to help!
Mimi and Yin Wang, who were originally lying on the ground, now stood up and slowly approached Ma Hongwei.
If Xu Xin was thrown down again, they would probably ignore Xu Xin's order to stay where he was and rush directly to launch a fierce attack on Ma Hongwei!
Ma Hongwei's current condition made the two of them feel very threatened.
Ah Fu also flew up, making a sharp and piercing sound from his mouth, which made Ma Hongwei pause.
On the map, Ma Hongwei's red dot is brighter than the intermediate mutant creatures, and its intensity is basically the same as Lou Feier's when she mutated.
"You are too arrogant..." Xu Xin twisted his shoulders and took out his halberd, "You don't have to go up, just watch from the side."
He really couldn't beat Ma Hongwei in his current state with his bare hands.
At first, Lou Feier was knocked against the wall by his punch. That was because the space in the low parasitic tree house was very small and Lou Feier's speed could not be fully exerted. The powerful attack did not hit him, but made it easier for him to counterattack, so he was subdued in an instant.
It's like letting an assassin fight with a warrior, which is too disadvantageous for the assassin.
But Ma Hongwei is different. He is like a tank with both strength and output. Hand-to-hand combat is most advantageous to him. Therefore, Xu Xin is not a boxing champion or a combat master. Naturally, he is no match for the mutated monster in front of him with his bare hands.
In the blink of an eye, Ma Hongwei pounced on him again!
Xu Xin immediately stepped back quickly to keep some distance, and swung the halberd in his hand, leaving a long bloody mark on Ma Hongwei's body.
Although his fists were ineffective, the halberd was a purple-level weapon, so how could it not break the defense of a normal body
Ma Hongwei was only wearing a blue-level leather armor, which was like nothing in front of his halberd.
Ma Hongwei let out a roar, his eyes widened, and rushed towards him again.
Xu Xin used the same trick again, dodging and swinging his halberd, leaving mark after mark on his body.
Of course he couldn't be cruel, as he didn't want to kill him, but to make him surrender and then sign a contract with him.
"This guy has started it again..." Lou Feier couldn't help but touch the places on her body where she had been scratched.
"Hmm! Hmm!" Coco waved her little paws and cheered for Xu Xin.
Soon, Xu Xin had scratched more than a dozen marks on his body.
Ma Hongwei was covered in bruises and blood, and his originally heavy footsteps became a little weak.
On Xu Xin's side, powerful vitality was transmitted into his body along the handle of the halberd, making his movements faster and more powerful.
In the end, as the strength of one increased while the other decreased, Ma Hongwei, covered in wounds, staggered to the ground, supporting himself with his hands, gasping for breath, and no longer able to get up.
