The Horror of Infinite Reincarnation

Chapter 342: Virus mutation

Views:

"Be careful of the antelope's horns." Zhuo Luo was delighted to see Meng Xiang catching up with him, but he saw Meng Xiang recklessly pounce on the antelope with the magic sword in hand, and he immediately shouted in panic.

One of the antelopes turned its head and trembled slightly. The next second, even Meng Xiang could only vaguely catch the shape of the antelope. A gust of wind blew in his face, and the surging pressure was like a wave. Even Meng Xiang was frightened and instinctively stopped, fully deploying the spiritual light defense and blocking the spiritual sword in front of him.

A powerful impact force made Meng Xiang lose his balance and his body lost control like a kite with a broken string. He flew dozens of meters and only stopped when he hit the wall behind him.

The antelope's instantaneous explosive power and running speed were originally at the forefront of the animal kingdom, but after being infected with the virus and mutated, its explosive power increased by at least 20 times. Meng Xiang was secretly horrified, and used the spirit sword to protect himself, carefully approaching the antelope.

The antelope lowered its head, and the two sharp horns on its head, like branches, shone yellow in the sunset. Meng Xiang had no time to think about why the mutated antelope could be exposed to the sun. He stared at the antelope in front of him with full concentration, taking in its every move.

The antelope's two horns were always aimed at Meng Xiang, but its four limbs were retreating step by step. Meng Xiang was delighted, "So that's how it is. Even for a mutated antelope, its attack power is only concentrated on the impact force of its horns and forehead." He approached the antelope unscrupulously, and the antelope retreated again and again until it was next to another antelope.

"Ding" the antelope kicked its hind legs and pushed its hooves, and its horns hit Meng Xiang as fast as lightning.

Just now, because Meng Xiang rushed towards the antelope recklessly, he was unable to dodge the antelope's powerful explosive force. Now Meng Xiang has regained his concentration, and even if the antelope's speed is comparable to "Instant Step", it cannot escape Meng Xiang's eyes.

Meng Xiang didn't need to compete with the antelope's horns and impact force. As long as he avoided its sharp edge, it would not be difficult to kill the antelope. He gently turned sideways, placed the spirit sword more than 50 centimeters above the ground, and gently pulled it forward.

“Swish, swish…” The antelope’s four legs were cut off immediately, and with a “crackling” sound, it fell to the ground and twisted its body like a caterpillar.

Meng Xiang stared at the other antelope proudly. The other antelope stared at Meng Xiang for a while, then ran deep into the alley.

Meng Xiang sneered triumphantly, "Zhuo Luo, how could you make such a mistake? You were forced to this point by these two vegetarian animals?" Although he was merciless, he still ran quickly to Zhuo Luo and checked his injuries.

His right arm was broken and his abdomen was pierced by an antelope horn, but fortunately no major internal organs were damaged, so the injury was not serious.

"Humph, I underestimated the enemy. But these antelopes actually blocked their murderous aura. When I felt the crisis coming, I was too careless. I thought I could just chop off the antelope's head with my Zanpakutō, but this is what happened." Zhuo Luo said angrily.

Meng Xiang was very considerate of Zhuo Luo. Even he himself did not expect the antelope's impact force to be so fierce when he first attacked. Fortunately, he unlocked the potential lock level 3 and his nerve reaction was quick, so he avoided a head-on collision with the antelope in time.

"This..." Meng Xiang looked at the mutant antelope with four limbs cut off and said, "Why can these antelopes be exposed to the sun? I think we need to catch them and let Robert check them." He walked to the antelope and punched it on the head, knocking it unconscious. Then he stopped the bleeding of the antelope, carried it on his shoulder, and said, "Let's go back quickly, the sun is about to set."

When they saw Zhuo Luo's injuries and the strange creature on Meng Xiang's shoulders, Mu Fei'er and Jie Juan were very surprised. Jie Juan teased Zhuo Luo at the right time. Zhuo Luo was very angry at first, but finally closed his eyes and ignored Jie Juan's sarcasm.

Before the sun went down, they returned to Robert's home. After telling him about the antelope attack, Robert looked worried and said solemnly, "I want to compare the blood of the antelope with that of the night demon to see if I can find out why the antelope can be exposed to the sun."

Han Fan immediately carried the antelope to the laboratory, and Robert began the experiment with Anna's assistance.

After a day of repair, Fang Ru made some changes to the defense equipment originally arranged by Robert. In addition to installing several incandescent lamps, he also rearranged the wires hidden underground and installed an electric grid above the second floor of the house, using the powerful batteries they brought from the main god space as the power source. As long as the switch is turned on, even if the Night Demons break through the two levels of incandescent lamps and bombs, they cannot climb to the roof like in the original movie.

Fang Ru's arrangement was only for defense, but his offensive means were even more amazing. They had knocked down the bricks and tiles on the first floor of the house and transformed it into a battle fortress with gun muzzles extended out, and even three heavy rapid-fire machine guns could fire from inside the house to the outside.

"So that's how it is. All those we hunted today were female night demons, and most of the creatures hiding in the building were just mutated animals." Fang Ru pondered for a while and continued, "Generally, night demons are much smarter than those in the original movie. Their speed and reaction ability are amazing. In open areas, pistols pose no threat to them. I can roughly guess the strength of female night demons, but I'm worried about male night demons. Where have they gone? What level of strength have they reached?" He muttered to himself, doubts lingering in his heart for a long time and Fang Ru stood outside the door like a fool.

"Let's go back to the house first, the sun is setting." Meng Xiang held the door handle in the room, pretending to be ready to close the door at any time.

Fang Ru was slightly startled, as if he had become a different person. He turned around and rushed into the house in panic, causing Meng Xiang to laugh out loud.

"The virus... has mutated." Robert and Han Fan hurried up from the underground laboratory. Robert, with a worried look on his face, returned to the first floor, sat down, picked up the brandy left by Jing Jie on the tea table and poured it into his mouth.

In a city full of night demons, Robert and the reincarnationist didn't drink alcohol to stay awake. But Jing Jie was like a useless person. He drank two bottles of strong liquor last night. After the sun went down, he couldn't help the fear in his heart and kept drinking strong liquor. Now he is drunk.

Robert was drinking strong liquor in distress, proving that the situation was very serious. Meng Xiang snatched the bottle from his hand and comforted him, saying, "Robert, don't be upset. Tell us in detail, or we can find a solution."

Robert's face was gloomy, and he sighed, "Biological genes modified by viruses will die when exposed to ultraviolet rays. This is the main reason why the Night Demon is afraid of sunlight. But the virus I detected from the antelope has a certain resistance to not-so-strong ultraviolet rays. I guess this is the result of biological evolution. Unknowingly, they have evolved to a point that is hard for us to imagine."

"But now the Night Demons still dare not appear in the daytime, and even dare not step out of their hiding places before it is completely dark. Why can the antelope run under the sunlight at dusk?" Gathering intelligence is the first thing a wise man does, otherwise he may misjudge the situation and directly lead to the destruction of the group. Fang Ru will not make a judgment easily before he has figured out the doubts in his mind.

Fang Ru's question was also a puzzle that puzzled all the reincarnationists. This was very important. If the Night Demon was not afraid of the sun, then their original plan to hunt the Night Demon during the day would have to be terminated.

"I'm not sure about that." Robert thought for a moment before saying, "All non-human creatures are immune to airborne transmission of the virus. Maybe that's why infected animals evolve faster than humans."

"You've never encountered this situation before?"

Robert shook his head. "No, but what I said before was not accurate. Rather than saying they mutated, it would be more appropriate to say they evolved by combining with their parasites. Help me catch a mammal tomorrow. I want to transfer the virus in the antelope to another animal to confirm my point of view."

"Is there a difference?" Han Fan still didn't quite understand. Robert said solemnly: "The difference is, if it is just a combination of evolution, that is to say, the virus must parasitize the host for a period of time before it can be exposed to the sun. If it is simply a mutation, then once infected with the virus, it will be completely fearless of the sun. Then the name 'Night Devil' will have to change." His face was miserable and full of despair.
