Chapter 276 Alice: "Are you also a T-Virus Evolver?"
Under the gaze of this group of crows, everyone except Cheng Long felt a chilling sense of fear, as if they were being stared at by the god of death.
"Wang Defake!"
Black LJ muttered.
After his mouth was splashed with zombie flesh and blood yesterday, he felt that his physical condition was getting worse and worse. His body temperature rose sharply, much more serious than a cold and fever. His body became weaker and weaker, and his lips were cracked.
His eyes were bloodshot and a strong feeling of hunger surged into his heart from time to time.
It’s just that the virus in his body has not yet fully broken out, and he has been struggling to hold on with his strong willpower.
"Everyone, please pay attention. These are probably crows that have devoured zombies." Claire's voice rang out over the intercom. "They are probably infected with the T virus. Everyone, stay in your car, close the windows, and keep quiet."
"The dragon is still out there!"
Carlos' reminder made Claire's heart tighten, and the girl in the same car, K-Mart, immediately turned her head to look.
As expected, Cheng Long was still in the tent on the open space. Perhaps he didn't notice anything unusual. The tent was unusually quiet. For a moment, both inside and outside the car fell into an eerie silence.
"Claire, nothing can happen to the dragon." Matt said hurriedly.
"I know, but he doesn't have a walkie-talkie with him, so we can't notify him."
Claire never thought she would encounter a situation like this, which was a hundred times more troublesome than waking up to find a dozen zombies wandering around in the camp.
Because crows are small in size, can fly, and come in large numbers, it is roughly estimated that there are at least a thousand crows staying around the camp.
Even if we kill one person at a time, it will take more than a thousand bullets.
"Claire, now we can only warn him loudly and tell him to rush to the nearest car while we cover him with gunfire." Carlos had eaten delicious tomato and egg noodles last night, as well as apples and watermelons that he hadn't tasted for a long time. He didn't want this newcomer to get into trouble from the bottom of his heart.
This was also the thought shared by everyone in Claire's team.
A man who possesses space equipment and has collected a large amount of survival supplies is more important than anyone else in the team, including Claire, the captain who founded this survival team.
"Okay, that's all."
Claire sighed and ordered, "Carlos, Otto, get ready to open the door and provide cover. Don't be stingy with your bullets. Long's life is more important than any of ours."
"Claire, we're ready, call for help!"
Carlos and others turned on the safety and entered a state of preparation for battle.
"Stab!"
A crisp zipper sound suddenly rang out.
Seeing Cheng Long bending down and walking out of the tent, Claire hurriedly pressed the car window and shouted: "Long, get in the car quickly, there are crows outside, they are all infected with the virus, hurry up..."
"Hmm~~" Cheng Long ignored him and stretched lazily.
"Quack quack..."
Hundreds and thousands of crows flapped their wings and flew high into the sky and circled.
This scene made Claire and Carlos' scalps tingle. The girl Matt immediately opened the car door and said hysterically: "Long, get in the car!"
"Don't worry, it's just a bunch of crows!"
Cheng Long gave everyone a reassuring look with a relaxed smile on his face.
The mental power generated by divine consciousness can even burst the head of a zombie, let alone crows that are only the size of a palm. No matter how many there are, they cannot do anything to him.
Of course, with his current level of cultivation, even without mental power, he can easily kill this group of crows infected with the virus.
"Quack..." A large flock of crows circled above the crowd. A small number of crows seemed to have completed the test and swooped down, heading straight for Cheng Long in the center of the camp.
"Da da da……"
Carlos, Otto, Claire and others pushed open the car doors one after another, rushed out of the car, raised their guns and started shooting indiscriminately.
Dozens of crows were blown into pieces by bullets and fell to the ground like hail.
But the damage caused by their attacks was only a drop in the bucket for the huge flock of crows.
"Quack quack..."
It seemed that the killing of their companions aroused their anger, or the living people below stimulated their appetite, and the large number of crows circling in the air launched a dive attack.
"Long, retreat quickly!"
"Get in the car, don't hesitate any longer..."
Claire, Carlos and others hurriedly shouted at Cheng Long.
Feeling the anxiety in the hearts of several people, Cheng Long acted decisively, and a huge mental power surged into the sky like a tide.
Crackling...
The heads of the group of crows swooped down and exploded one after another, falling like raindrops.
In a flash, the once arrogant zombie crow turned into a corpse and fell motionless on the sand.
And all this happened just because the man in front of them looked up at them!
"..."
Claire was so shocked that she was speechless.
Carlos, Otto and others opened their mouths wide, their eyes full of disbelief.
Matt, LJ, Betty...
At this moment, all the survivors felt an indescribable awe towards Cheng Long. Some of the survivors who had the idea of killing people to steal supplies last night were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats.
Before this, they had never seen a man as fierce as Cheng Long, who could kill thousands of crows infected with the virus with just a thought. This was obviously beyond the scope of a human.
At this moment, they finally understood why Cheng Long dared to go alone. With such a powerful force and space equipment to store a large amount of supplies, there is no place in the world that he cannot go...
"Alice~~"
As Carlos's surprised voice sounded, a woman with a veil on her head suddenly came into everyone's sight.
Her slightly angular face and neat short hair make her look particularly heroic.
Alice's appearance may not be as delicate as Claire's, but she is fearless in the face of various terrifying creatures, and her superb skills are enough to make up for the minor flaws in her appearance.
Before Cheng Long traveled through time, many people on the Internet regarded her as a female war god. If you remove the word "war" in the middle, isn't she a living goddess?
"Carlos, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Alice, who was attracted by the crows, saw her old friend Carlos and a hint of joy appeared between her brows.
"Me too……"
Carlos opened his arms and gave Alice a tight hug. In the apocalypse, meeting a survivor is good news, not to mention meeting an old friend.
They were happy from the bottom of their hearts.
Alice stopped hugging Carlos and quickly got out of his arms. She turned and walked to Cheng Long, asking curiously, "Are you also a T-Virus Evolver? Why don't you get a headache when you release your telekinesis?"
"Because my physical fitness is very strong, it matches my huge mental power. Although your physical fitness is among the strongest among ordinary people, it cannot match your mental power."
Cheng Long gave Alice the answer she wanted very objectively.
Alice often had headaches in the third part of Resident Evil because her physical fitness was not strong enough to match the huge mental power, so she fainted after using her ultimate move to save Claire and her group.
"Then how can I improve my physical fitness?" Alice could never control her powerful mental power. Every night she would wake up unconsciously or do things uncontrollably.
For example, she suspended her motorcycle in the air, and after waking up, she suddenly withdrew her mental power, causing the mount to fall to the ground and smash into pieces, forcing her to walk to continue her journey.
"Practice, or devour."
Cheng Long answered every question and was very kind.
Upon hearing that there was a chance to become stronger, Alice, Claire, Carlos and others' eyes lit up.
"Long, can we practice too?" Claire asked impatiently.
"Of course you can, but it's hard to become strong if you learn martial arts from me. At most, you can improve your physical fitness a little bit." Cheng Long didn't want to teach foreigners magic skills, or the peerless magic skills and Taoism from the worlds of "Swordsman" and "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".
If Claire and others wanted to learn, they could only learn some third-rate martial arts that were everywhere.
Since it is a popular martial art, wanting to become like it is undoubtedly a mirage, out of reach.
"Even a little bit is fine. In the apocalypse, being a little stronger can increase your chances of survival."
Claire's eyes revealed a burning desire. Bullets are consumables. If she can't find a supply, then when the ammunition is used up, she will have to use cold weapons to protect herself.
The only way for her to live longer is to become stronger.
"Okay, then I'll teach you a style of boxing. You can follow me if you want to learn..." Cheng Long put his hands behind his back, posing a mysterious posture. What he could teach was indeed some ordinary martial arts like Shaolin Changquan.
It is very difficult to practice this technique to perfection when one is weak and hungry, and few people can persist.
But it is understandable. After all, everyone present is a foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes. It is normal that Cheng Long does not intend to teach real skills.
……
Just as Cheng Long was teaching Alice, Claire and others Changquan, in a desert base hundreds of miles away, the artificial intelligence White Queen detected a huge energy fluctuation and immediately reported it to Dr. Isaac, the top leader of the base.
"Dr. Isaac, the energy fluctuation this time is very strong. Since she escaped from the Detroit headquarters, her ability has increased exponentially..." The White Queen thought that the energy fluctuation just detected came from Alice, and she had no doubt at all, because Alice was so perverted at this stage, and her mental power increased extremely exaggeratedly.
Alice can even stand on the ground and use her telekinesis to destroy a low-orbit surveillance satellite 200 kilometers away, thus breaking free from Dr. Isaac's control.
You know, at this stage, Cheng Long's spiritual awareness covers a maximum range of only about 30 kilometers.
Of course, wide coverage does not mean that Alice's mental power is stronger than Cheng Long's. The quality of her mental power is far inferior to Cheng Long's, and she can only perform simple control from beginning to end.
To describe it more specifically, Alice's telekinesis is like a hemp rope, while Cheng Long's spiritual telekinesis is like an extremely tough steel wire. The two are incomparable.
"If it is indeed her, her transformation is astonishing."
Dr. Isaac located Alice's position and couldn't help but sigh. Such a powerful fluctuation of power made him restless inside.
His biggest dream is to become an evolver like Alice who perfectly integrates the T virus.
"You have been to the ground ten times in the past twenty-four hours, all without permission..." Slater, who was in charge of base security, suddenly rushed in angrily.
Dr. Isaac was not angry about this. Instead, he walked calmly to a room, turned on the light in the room, and displayed the research results inside.
A dozen zombies who had regained some sanity immediately picked up benches and smashed the tempered glass when they saw the two people.
But more zombies still use their hands.
"You want to tame them?"
Slater saw Dr. Isaac's intention and a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.
Knowing how to climb onto the bench shows that these zombies have mastered a certain behavioral logic and can use the objects around them as weapons.
Dr. Isaac said with a smile: "Being rude also has its advantages."
"But I can't think of any benefits of domestication." Slater has always been cautious about zombies. Taming zombies that crave raw meat and blood will only bring disaster to oneself in the end.
If a person cannot fuse with the T virus, his genes will collapse and he will become a mindless zombie.
The process is irreversible.
In other words, all the people who turned into zombies are dead, and the only ones alive are bloodthirsty monsters.
"Dr. Isaac, specimen No. 87 has entered the final testing phase..."
"Access the test screen."
Through the surveillance footage, Slater saw that the clone of Alice was strangled by the zombies and suffocated to death.
"Does Chancellor Wesker know about this?"
Slater frowned. Dr. Isaac had conducted many studies privately, all without permission.
"He just needs to know what he needs to know." Isaac replied ambitiously.
"You're going too far."
"My research will change everything..."
Slater glanced at the doctor, put his hands in his pockets and prepared to leave.
Dr. Isaac threatened him, "If you have to choose between the two, you'd better choose a useful master."
……
Desert Hotel.
At noon, Cheng Long once again cooked a delicious meal of noodles for everyone, then walked up to the black man LJ while biting an apple and said coldly, "How long are you going to keep it a secret?"
LJ asked knowingly, "Hidden from what?"
"Your eyes are almost turning into blood cells, your face is pale, and your lips are chapped. All the signs indicate that you have been infected with the virus..." Cheng Long stared at the other person.
Betty, who was standing by, learned that her boyfriend was infected with the virus and asked in panic, "LJ, is what he said true?"
"may be!"
LJ actually wanted to hide it because he wanted to live, even if it was just to live half a day longer.
But under Cheng Long's gaze, he didn't have the courage to hide anything, so he could only explain truthfully: "When I was searching the hotel last night, I was knocked down by a zombie, and when Carlos killed it, some blood splashed into my mouth."
"You should have said it earlier."
Betty was in a state of confusion. She wanted to blame her boyfriend but couldn't bring herself to say it.
"Would it be helpful to tell me earlier?"
"..."
Betty was speechless and didn't know how to answer.
"Of course it's useless to tell them, but it's different for me." With just a few words, Cheng Long dragged LJ from hell to heaven.
"Can you save me?"
"Help me, please help me!"
LJ thought of the various methods that Cheng Long had displayed before, and his blood-red eyes burst into a dazzling luster. It was the extremely strong will to survive that was at work.
