Rebirth: Kill Through the Doomsday Game

Chapter 9 [Swallowing]

Qiming City, edge area.

Although it is still early spring, the sunshine at this time is already a bit scorching, and the asphalt road is scorching hot, but new leaves and buds have not sprouted on the branches. The reddish-brown viscous liquid slowly flowed along the cracks in the road, and then gradually seeped into the lifeless earth.

Gu Lingxin originally wanted to go directly to the capital as planned, but when passing through Qiming City, she encountered a large number of low-level infected people on the outside of the highway. She originally just wanted to deal with a few clearing obstacles, but she did not expect that the infected people here would not be killed at all. Not finished.

Disasters are often associated with darkness. According to the habits of the infected, weather with high fire umbrellas is more suitable for hiding in the shadows - such as hiding in the cave of a certain residential building, causing trouble for those who run out of food and try to go out for adventure. Egg.

Rather than walking on the street and basking in the sun.

Gu Lingxin kicked away the last infected body and shook off the blood from her hands. The situation in Qiming City is indeed much more serious than that in Yuan City. Even in the most fringe areas of the city, there are countless infected people wandering here.

But that's exactly why she stayed here. [Swallow] is really suitable for a copy like this where there are mobs all over the place but no boss.

Just a few days ago, Gu Lingxin prepared a lot of high-calorie food, but she did not see any improvement in her abilities even after eating two rounds of fat along the way. Later, she discovered that [swallowing] improves the "eating" part of her abilities through eating. It actually means eating the infected.

But the will-o'-the-wisp can eat the same kind and trigger [devour] to improve herself. She doesn't want to put the carrion into her mouth - she won't be sure whether it's a human or not by then.

Fortunately, I accidentally discovered later that I didn't really want to eat the bodies of the infected, but use this ability on the infected.

I was almost fooled by [reproduction].

The flesh in the palm loses water and shrinks at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After being [swallowed], the infected person will gradually lose moisture, and eventually only shriveled pieces of flesh without moisture will be left, like a group of mummies with their bandages removed.

Gu Ling returned to the off-road vehicle in a heartbeat. She rummaged in her backpack for a long time before finding an alcohol wipe. She slowly wiped the blood on her hands while looking into the distance. It had been two days since she entered Qiming City. The infected people here Although there were many of them, they never actively attacked her. They all seemed to be gathering in one direction with purpose.

A vague growl came from afar.

Gu Lingxin once heard the screams of the infected, but the voices were neither loud nor high enough, as if their throats were blocked by a ball of cotton wool. But even so, you can still vaguely feel the threat in the sound, which comes from the animal's instinctive desire to eat or hunt when facing food.

But this voice obviously doesn't have this emotion at the moment. They just made some noise just to roar, just like a group of 996 social animals half-deadly responding to the boss's overtime arrangement.

Just as Gu Lingxin was trying to find the source of the sound, a group of infected people were slowly walking toward her from the other side of the road.

"I just wiped my hands." Gu Lingxin was lying on the car window. After the improvement of [Devouring] these days, it no longer takes much effort for her to kill ordinary infected people. High-temperature flames jumped on her palms. Gu Lingxin stuck her head out of the car window, taking aim while waiting for the slow-moving infected to approach.

However, neither a threatening ultra-high temperature fireball nor a living and delicious human being can attract this group of infected people. There was turbid mist in their eyes, and they just walked over the old asphalt road without even glancing at Gu Lingxin. Then passed by.

Completely ignoring her.

"..." Gu Lingxin threw the flame and accurately hit the infected person walking at the end.

A strong burning smell hit his face, the temperature of the air soared instantly, and bright flames burned on the infected person. Even though Gu Lingxin was still a short distance away from it, he could still feel that the temperature of the flame was higher than before. However, those infected people seemed not to feel at all that there was such a burning ultra-high temperature presence in the team. , still moving forward slowly.

What is even more chilling is that although the power of this flame is greater than before, it does not have the ability to instantly kill the infected. Judging from the battles with the infected after the end of the world, the infected are not as powerful as in the novels and Loss in movies and TV shows does not feel pain. On the contrary, they not only have keen senses and strength, but also retain a part of their intelligence.

Feeling pain is a biological instinct.

The infected man's body was burning with flames, charred black smoke rose from his skin and bones, and the smell of burning filled the air. He was still walking slowly step by step among the small group of infected people, completely unaware that he was about to be burned to death by the blazing flames.

This is true for many infected people she met nearby these days.

"Are you affected by your ability?" Gu Lingxin looked at the groups of infected people. Their movements were almost the same and surprisingly neat. Even which foot to take next step seemed to have been discussed in advance.

——What kind of ability can control infected people on such a large scale?
"Mind control, or the ability to close the senses?" Gu Lingxin originally wanted to follow these infected people to see what kind of ability could control the infected people on such a large scale.

But she twisted the car key and then turned off the engine. If we were to follow this unhurried group of infected people, we might not be able to see the awakened one even if we walked for three days and three nights.

After casually burning the group of infected people who had no regard for her, Gu Lingxin restarted the beautiful black off-road vehicle and drove in the direction of the infected people.

Although the infected people in the peripheral areas of Qiming City moved in groups towards the central area, the central area was empty and lonely.

Except Keimyung University.

Gu Lingxin looked at the dried corpses of infected people on the ground, and felt a chill running down her spine.

Although the apocalypse is approaching and there are no more students in the school, Qiming University is still as good as before - at least that's what it seems on the surface.

The main entrance of Qiming University is closed, and the back door connects to the playground and gymnasium. From a distance, there seems to be nothing unusual - if Gu Lingxin wasn't too familiar with those things, maybe she would have thought those dry gray-brown things were just some art students. Discarded ceramic sculptures.

The infected bodies that had been absorbed by [Swallow] densely filled the ravine between the playground and the back door, turning the originally green and lush school into a huge tomb.
