Xiao Mo wiped his face and got up from the ground. Regardless of whether he has hidden killer qualities or not, life goes on, even if it gets worse.
But this task has been completed. The impact of the Gluttonous Beast virus on humans should disappear, right? Everything will go back to normal again, right
What is the end of the world? This is a disease that will definitely be eliminated, for sure!
The group of wild cats seemed to have had a war within themselves for a period of time after he killed Li Xiaoshuang and fell down, and the winner was a newly adult calico cat.
The calico cat purred menacingly at the fleeing enemies and him lying on the ground. When he saw him getting up from the ground, he immediately stopped purring, and his fur stood up all over his body, nervous towards him. The ground arched its back.
Xiao Mo looked at it speechlessly.
The tabby cat's attitude was so weird that he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
And this look made him see something strange.
There was a reddish-brown stone under the right foot of the tabby cat. While the cat barked at him threateningly, it lowered its head and licked the stone from time to time.
what is that
Strangely, Xiao Mo's eyes were tightly attracted by the inconspicuous reddish-brown stone. He even felt that he smelled a particularly pleasant smell, which tempted him to get closer to the tabby cat step by step.
When the tabby cat saw him approaching, its purr became louder, its eyes widened, and its tail stood high.
Xiao Mo tried to step on the ground hard, trying to scare away the tabby cat.
But the tabby cat, which looked like it was just an adult, was unexpectedly bold. Instead of running away when he approached, it pounced directly on him.
Damn it!
Xiao Mo saw the tabby cat rushing toward his door and subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it.
As a result, this block caused two more scratches on the back of his originally injured left hand.
"Hiss!" It hurts.
Xiao Mo became anxious and waved hard with one hand, swiping away the tabby cat that was about to pounce again.
The tabby cat screamed, turned somersaults in the air, and landed on a low bush far away.
"Meow!" The cat suddenly let out a very shrill scream.
Xiao Mo didn't look at the tabby cat. His mind and eyes were completely attracted by the reddish-brown stone on the ground that was only the size of a baby's fist.
Xiao Mo forgot that his hands and neck were in urgent need of treatment, and couldn't help but bend down and pick up the stone.
"Ding, a first-level energy crystal was found."
Energy crystal? what is that
So delicious!
Xiao Mo stared at the reddish-brown stone, secreting a lot of saliva from his mouth.
As if possessed, he held up the stone and put it in his mouth.
The stone stopped at his mouth.
Xiao Mo didn't know how much willpower he had to hold back from putting the stone directly into his mouth.
His mind started to move with difficulty, and Xiao Mo asked the system, "Is this an energy crystal? What is it used for?"
The system answered simply, "Replenish energy."
"Can it be eaten?" Xiao Mo asked subconsciously.
The system is silent, as if it is doing some difficult calculations.
Xiao Mo saw that the system didn't answer him, and his eyes fell on the stone again.
This stone doesn't look big, but it's quite heavy.
A faint metallic smell reached his nostrils.
This is... the rough stone of copper? Or smelted copper
Copper... He remembered that this park was formerly a hollowed-out copper mine. It should be normal for a small piece of red copper to appear here.
No, that's weird!
Even if he didn't know much about mineralogy, he knew that it was impossible to find a missing piece of ore in a ground that had been hollowed out and filled in long ago.
Or is this a piece of refined copper that has been smelted? Who accidentally left it here
But can an irregular copper ingot have such great charm
After enduring it again and again, Xiao Mo still couldn't hold it back and stretched out his tongue to lick the copper ingot.
When he remembered that the tabby cat had licked the copper ingot before him, the tip of his tongue had already touched the surface of the copper ingot.
Well… !
It's like a traveler in the desert drinking a glass of cool ice water, or like a glutton who has been hungry for many days and finally comes into contact with the food he has dreamed of.
Xiao Mo narrowed his eyes and groaned with enjoyment.
It feels so wonderful!
Simply incredible!
He never thought that a piece of copper ingot could be so delicious, so delicious that he wanted to swallow it in one bite.
He licked it again and again. At this time, he didn't mind at all that the copper ingot had been licked by the cat first.
A feeling of satisfaction that I haven't experienced in a long time spreads in my mind.
He had been hungry since he woke up in the morning and seemed to be unable to get enough. Today, the amount of food he eats in a day is almost five or six times that before. This is the result of his efforts to suppress it, and it is still not enough.
Unexpectedly, after just two licks of the stone, which looked like a copper ingot, he felt as full as if he had eaten ten full banquets.
When Xiao Mo finished the third lick, he was surprised to find that the copper ingot, which was originally the size of a baby's fist, seemed to have shrunk in size and was now only the size of a lychee.
How is this going
The sense of vigilance that arose from nowhere finally curbed his desire to continue licking the copper ingots.
Take this copper ingot back and show it to the child. Maybe he will know something.
Xiao Mo forcefully moved the copper ingot away from his eyes and quickly put it into his pants pocket.
Only then did he remember the tabby cat that he had swung away.
Is the cat okay
Xiao Mo felt a sense of guilt in his heart.
Although the cat scratched him, his swing was quite hard, and he also stole his heart.
Could those wild cats be fighting over this copper ingot? Was it because of him that the mother of gluttons stayed in the park and dealt with wild cats? Xiao Mo vaguely felt that he had touched something.
After looking around, Xiao Mo didn't find the little cat that purred at him just now.
Did you run away
Xiao Mo raised his right hand that had been bitten by Li Xiaoshuang and touched his neck. It was strange that the wound that was so painful just now was not so painful now and the bleeding had stopped.
Look at the left and right hands again...
There was indeed no blood coming out of the wound, and I didn't feel any pain when I touched the wound.
etc! Where are the wounds
"Thump!" Xiao Mo's heart trembled violently.
How is this going? His hands were obviously badly injured before. Even if the bleeding stopped, such a big wound couldn't disappear so quickly, right
"System, did you do it?"
"That's where you evolve."
"Evolution?" Xiao Mo was a little dumbfounded.
"Your body has mutated due to some coincidence. The direction of the mutation is a bit complicated. I am analyzing it."
"What do you mean by coincidence?"
The system paused for two seconds and said: "The carbon-based synthetic metal virus and a special high-level nutrient solution, plus my punishment on you, all three occurred at the same time, causing six groups of your body's genes to have a strange sequence. Method. I am trying to replicate this coincidence, but after careful calculation, I found that this coincidence only has a one in 10 billion chance of happening."
"One in ten billion?"
"Yes, after calculation, as of now, your evolutionary direction is unique on Earth."
Xiao Mo didn't know whether he should be happy or sad, "This evolution has given me the ability to heal myself?" He always thought that he was a small supporting role in this big stage of life, but now he seems to be moving towards the big stage of life. What is the direction of the protagonist or secondary protagonist? If he can survive successfully.
"Yes, this is part of your ability. Although carbon-based synthetic metal viruses can also mutate some human genes, resulting in some special abilities, the arrangement of their mutated genes is 1.1% different from yours."
For unknown reasons, the ruthless system added another sentence: "The genetic difference between humans and chimpanzees is 1.2%, so, strictly speaking, you should now be classified as human-like."
The system then reported a bunch of data, seemingly comparing Xiao Mo's genes with those of other people, but Xiao Mo didn't listen carefully.
His mind is extremely confused now - he has become humanoid! Is this some new form of personal attack
Even though he is thirty-two years old, he has never married a wife or had a girlfriend. The person he has a crush on is still his sister-in-law. His job is a recycling businessman who is neither handsome, popular, nor domineering, and is looked down upon by most people. His favorite His clothes are an apron, his favorite fruit is durian, and his favorite program is News Network. Maybe... he also has hidden attributes of a murderer, but he won't be classified as a relative of a chimpanzee, right
He obviously doesn't like bananas!
Xiao Mo, who was classified as human by the system, went crazy. Instead of going back to find Xue Lihong and Ding Qiao immediately, he made a circle and went straight to the public toilet in the park.
The utilization rate of this public toilet is not high, and no one should be in it at this time.
Xiao Mo, who left in despair, did not see that in the bush where the tabby cat had just settled, a large bulge was strangely bulging out from the root system of a vine.
The bag squirmed, as if something was struggling inside.
And just under the bag, a small reddish-brown particle, only half the size of a fingernail, was secreted from the root system of the vine.
After entering the public toilet, Xiao Mo went straight to the sink, turned on the faucet and began to scrub his hands vigorously.
He was so stimulated that he could no longer maintain his composure as an adult!
Since he woke up, too many things had happened that day, and it was almost too much for him to bear.
The remaining blood marks on his hands turned into blood and flowed into the sewer.
The sound of water rushing seemed to remind him of something.
The extra stinging vines in the park, the wild cats fighting in groups, the magical reddish-brown stone that looks like a copper ingot, the glutton virus, the carbon-based synthetic metal virus, the mysterious and cruel system, and the mission that allows him to kill people... these were originally meant to be... It was enough to mess with his nerves, now add to it his hands and neck which were healing on their own.
Xiao Mo stretched out his hand to cover his neck where a piece of flesh had been bitten off. Not only was there no missing piece of flesh, but he couldn't even feel a wound.
Humanoid…
Xiao Mo lowered his head and stuffed his whole head under the faucet.
When Xiao Mo regained some composure and went back to find Xue Lihong and Ding Qiao, the crowd gathered in front of Lianguole Supermarket Plaza was making noise and shouting.
