The Scavengers

Chapter 35: Giant-winged Blood Mosquito Beast

Views:

A huge thing landed on the roof of the van opposite the hotel. On the back of the thing, a pair of black, huge skin-bone wings were slowly flapping in the air.

Slowly, the thing stood up, revealing its full face.

It has dark and powerful limbs, long sharp claws on its feet and hands, its abdomen is as high as a pregnant woman's, its head is very pointed and small, only half the size of a normal person, and its skull is high like a sharp triangle, with two sides. The eyes are divided to the side of the ears.

The most terrifying thing is its mouth, which is long, like a mosquito's piercing and sucking mouthparts magnified thousands of times.

It’s true that I want to see living creatures, but that doesn’t mean I want to see living monsters!

The corners of Xiao Mo's mouth twitched, he stopped all movements, and slowed down his breathing. Is this what was in the alley before

"System, what is that?" Xiao Mo asked pretending to be calm in his mind.

The system actually answered him, "Giant-winged Blood Mosquito Beast, one of the secondary recovery targets."

Xiao Mo took a breath of air. Level 2! He even struggled to deal with the first-level mission targets.

The giant-winged blood mosquito beast raised its head and faced Xiao Mo head-on.

Xiao Mo's breathing paused, his muscles tensed immediately, and he was instantly ready to fight back or escape.

"Giant-winged Blood Mosquitoes have no eyesight. They rely on their triangular braincases for hunting and flying. That braincase has insect antennae, animal sense of smell and radar functions. Blood Mosquitoes are extremely sensitive to blood, like darkness and hate bright light. Generally speaking, Haunted at night.”

So it didn't see me? While Xiao Mo was thankful, he began to scan the surrounding area for any weapons that he could take advantage of from the corner of his eye.

The blood mosquito beast's head turned slightly from left to right.

Xiao Mo stared closely at the Blood Mosquito Beast's every move and asked the system: "What is it doing? When did such a terrifying creature appear on earth? Where did it come from?"

"It's looking for food." The system only answered the first question.

Looking for food... Xiao Mo thought of the three corpses whose brains and blood had been sucked dry.

It's killing people! And this was when most people were unconscious.

Xiao Mo clenched his fists.

"Scavenger, you'd better not act rashly, your evolutionary direction is not focused on combat effectiveness." The system warned him coldly.

But my family is all here.

Xiao Mo moved slightly to the left. There was a shovel used in the store to shovel garbage.

The blood mosquito beast seemed to have chosen its target, spread its wings slightly, and flew to the entrance of the grain and oil store, which was only six or seven meters away from the hotel.

An awning was built in front of the grain and oil store, and Xiao Mo had just dragged many injured people there.

Xiao Mo clenched his molars tightly. He thought he was helping the injured people, but in the end it was easier for the monster to eat!

A hand rested on his shoulder.

Xiao Mo almost jumped up.

"Sh-don't move." The person whispered in his ear.

Xiao Mo felt that the voice was a bit unfamiliar, but the breath was a bit familiar.

"Don't go and die."

Xiao Mo slowly turned around and saw a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar, "Xiao... uh, Xue Lihong?"

"Yeah." The young man, who was half a head taller than Xiao Mo, responded in a low voice.

The young man was wearing the t-shirt and shorts of the Xiao family boss. Xiao Wen is a strong man and always buys extra-large clothes. Although the young man is tall and has a big frame, his clothes are not too small for him, but the sandals on his feet are a bit uncomfortable.

"I have to drive that monster away. I can't let it start eating near here." Xiao Mo didn't have time to look at the young man and reached out to grab the shovel.

"You are no match for it."

"Don't you have to try it too." Otherwise, he will definitely feel twice as guilty for the rest of his life, and who can guarantee that this blood mosquito beast will not break into homes looking for food after sucking those people? His family was on the third floor of the grain and oil store, and he didn't dare to take the risk.

A trace of disapproval flashed in the young man's eyes. He was not satisfied with Xiao Mo's behavior of giving up his life for nothing, and it would obviously implicate him.

"We're even."

"What?"

The young man took the shovel from Xiao Mo's hand, put his toes on the ground, and suddenly lifted his body up, jumping to a height of nearly twenty meters.

Xiao Mo's eyes widened and he saw with his own eyes that the young man was like a master in a martial arts movie, holding a shovel and attacking the giant-winged blood mosquito beast from high altitude!

"Pfft!" The shovel inserted into the back of the neck of the blood mosquito beast that was about to eat.

"Hey!" The blood mosquito beast let out an unusually high-pitched scream.

Xiao Mo couldn't bear it and immediately raised his hands to cover his ears.

The sound of giant wings flapping sounded, a gust of wind passed by, and the Blood Mosquito flew into the sky.

The young man stood on the back of the Blood Mosquito Beast, pulled out the shovel with force, and then thrust it in again.

The blood mosquito beast screamed miserably, rolling in the air, and a large amount of black blood fell.

The young man grasped the edge of one of the blood mosquito beast's wings tightly with one hand, and grasped the shovel tightly with the other hand.

The blood mosquito beast rolled around desperately, and even took the initiative to rush against walls and telephone poles, trying to knock off the enemies on its body.

The young man stood on the back of the blood mosquito beast and did not know what he was doing. The blood mosquito beast suddenly increased its flying height and rushed into the distance.

Everything happens very fast!

By the time Xiao Mo reacted and wanted to catch up to the young man to help him, the young man and the blood mosquito beast had already flown to nowhere.

Only the puddle of foul-smelling black liquid at the entrance of the grain and oil store proved that what just happened was not an illusion.

Xiao Mo was restless and walked back and forth in front of the hotel.

Children... young people... There are too many mysteries about Xue Lihong. Maybe he is indeed extraordinary, but that is a second-level mission target. Can he deal with it

Could he have harmed him

When did he become a coward who was holding others back? He felt that he had done nothing wrong and that he had been doing things calmly, but his "correct way of handling" made him make more mistakes step by step.

"System, what is the direction of my evolution? I remember that the scavenger Liu Yu mentioned in his diary that his mission reward increased physical strength by 3%. Why is the content of my reward completely different from his?"

"Because the former scavenger Liu Yu had not developed any special abilities at that time, and his genes had not been optimized in any way, his early rewards were to help him optimize his genes step by step. But your genes have changed due to coincidence, and I have not analyzed it yet. Thoroughly, there is currently no way to help you optimize it, so your reward content will mainly focus on the development of your abilities."

"Are there a lot of monsters like that just now around here?" Xiao Mo asked irritably.

"Non-task related..."

"Please!" Xiao Mo shouted.

The system responded with silence.

Xiao Mo scratched his hair randomly, "What abilities do I have now?"

The system answered: "According to the analysis of existing data, the current evolutionary directions of human beings are basically divided into three categories, human body, spirit, and the complete body that combines the two, and your evolutionary direction is likely to be the complete body evolution."

"Does that mean my body can also become very powerful?" Who among men doesn't want his strength to be higher

"It is possible. However, the abilities evolved by the complete body are also divided into offensive and auxiliary types. Your ability should be auxiliary."

"Then what is my ability? Helping others heal?"

"No, it's repair."

"...can you explain it more clearly?"

"The detailed data is still being analyzed. If you are willing, I can help you build a database."

"What's in it for me?" Xiao Mo felt that there was no need to be pretentious about this system, as long as we were straightforward with each other.

"I can help you simulate a series of training plans, and you can train according to the plan to gradually determine the scope and size of your abilities, and at the same time steadily improve your abilities. And based on this series of training plans and training results, I will gradually build up a complete database of your abilities."

Xiao Mo was hesitant. He always felt that it was not a good thing for the system to master his detailed data.

But even if he doesn't agree, this system is in his body. If there are any changes in him, will it stop collecting data

The system comes up with a training plan, which obviously speeds up and facilitates its data collection, but it is also of great benefit to him, at least it reduces the time he has to spend thinking about it by himself.

"When will you give me the preliminary training plan?"

"after an hour."

Exactly an hour later, Xiao Mo received the first training plan prepared by the system in his mind, and also saw the young man walking from a distance.

The young man approached slowly, and Xiao Mo couldn't help but ask: "Are you... okay?"

Xiao Mo felt that the young man didn't look good at all.

He was already thin enough, but now he looks more like he has been ill for a long time.

The young man replied: "Still alive."

"That giant-winged blood mosquito beast..."

"It turns out that thing is called the Giant Winged Blood Mosquito Beast. Is that what the system told you?"

"yes."

“Not very tasty.”

"What?" Xiao Mo didn't hear clearly.

"I killed it."

"You're awesome! Have you ever learned kung fu? How can you jump so high? The system said that the blood mosquito beast is a secondary mission target, but you can actually kill it, you..."

"Well, when I was a kid, I jumped to the bottom of a cliff and found an ancient cave. There was a martial arts secret book, a Kung Fu Pill that could increase one thousand years of skill, and a rejuvenation pill. Later, I traveled around the world for thousands of years, fighting all the invincible opponents in the world. , I took that rejuvenation pill when I got old. Although that pill made me regain my youth, it also sealed my skills. Now, thanks to you, you can help me dissolve the medicinal properties that sealed my skills. Only then was my magic power regenerated. Brother Xiao, thank you very much!"

Xiao Mo, "..."

The young man didn't seem to want to talk more about the battle. After talking nonsense with a serious face, he immediately walked to the injured person at the door of the store, grabbed her arm, looked at her, and changed the subject:

"It seems that this black rain has the effect of inhibiting germs, stopping bleeding, and restoring wounds. You can see that the bones of this person's legs are clearly poked out, but there is not much blood. A thin film has grown on her wounds."

Xiao Mo looked at the tall but skinny young man speechlessly. He couldn't understand this man when he was a child, and now that he is older, his character is even more elusive.

However, although today's young people look thin and weak, they are more energetic than that child.

"That's good. At least a lot of people will die. Well... Well, are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?"

Xiao Mo decided not to ask the young man how he dealt with the blood mosquito beast. Because he suspected that if he asked again, the young man might upgrade his martial arts training to immortality.
