321: Chapter Two Hundred Ninety-Three: Hua Zi 321: Chapter Two Hundred Ninety-Three: Hua Zi The distance of one kiloter on the bat-winged motorcycle passed in an instant.
When arriving on the scene, Gray Rain couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
He felt a sense of discomfort, akin to finding a cockroach leg in the national cuisine takeout.
“What the hell is this?”
The humanoid heat source detected by the drone was indeed humanoid, but it was a giant nearly five ters tall.
It was naked, without hair or any sexual characteristics.
Its upper body was disproportionately larger than its lower body, extraordinarily bulky.
The skin on its abdon divided into two layers, forming a pouch similar to that of a kangaroo.
Through the translucent flesh mbrane of the pouch, a faintly visible unconscious Asian girl could be seen inside, holding a crude homade tal spear.
The Information Integration Glasses clearly identified the Asian girl as “Human.”
And labeled the kangaroo giant as an “Infected.”
Plop, plop.
The kangaroo giant, which had been slowly traversing the city ruins, turned its head slowly in the direction of the bat-winged motorcycle’s sound.
Seeing the two, its blank expressionless face slowly squeezed out a hint of a smile, as it moved its long legs, seemingly slow but actually swiftly, rushing toward them.
Gray Rain picked up the Skull Shattering Hamr, spun it twice, jumped lightly, and smashed it onto the kangaroo giant’s head.
Splatter.
The huge head exploded like a waterlon, with no skull inside, only soft tissue replacing the skull and providing support.
The soft tissue, ripped by the special effect of the Skull Shattering Hamr’s shockwave, rapidly regenerated after a brief delay.
The headless kangaroo giant swayed slightly, then grew a moist new head and continued reaching for Li Cheng.
‘This regeneration ability is almost as fast as chives.’
Li Cheng thought to himself, calmly pulling out the Steel and Victory Flag Spear from the void.
When the giant’s hand ca near, he swung the spear in counterattack.
The first special effect of the Steel and Victory Flag Spear, Counterattack Mont, suddenly activated, effortlessly sending the giant flying despite the weight difference, crashing into the ruins, its limbs pierced by exposed rebar.
Li Cheng stepped forward, using the spear as a knife, and with a slash, he opened the kangaroo giant’s pouch.
The Asian girl slid out of the pouch, covered in mucus, fell to the ground, and violently vomited red liquid.
Her consciousness gradually returned.
She dazedly lifted her head, saw Li Cheng, and struggled to speak.
Li Cheng understood her intentions and said, “Don’t worry, both mother and child are safe, your mom will be fine.”
???
The Asian girl looked bewildered.
Li Cheng ignored her, grabbed the spear, and began to sever the kangaroo giant’s limbs.
The kangaroo giant’s bones were also replaced by soft tissue with exaggerated regeneration.
If severed limbs were close enough, they would grow tissue and reattach directly.
If they were far apart, new limbs would regenerate.
The Information Integration Glasses identified it as an “Infected,” but the problem was what kind of infected.
Virus?
Bacteria?
Parasite?
Li Cheng sliced the kangaroo giant into pieces like sashimi, carefully observed with the Information Integration Glasses, causing the revived girl to vomit several tis, yet he still couldn’t find the specific infection source.
After repeatedly carving it dozens of tis, the kangaroo giant’s regeneration finally weakened, and the system prompt sounded in Li Cheng’s ear.
[Unit killed: Infected.
Received 50 Experience Points and 120 Ga Coin]
Fifty Experience Points seed reasonable.
Aside from its great strength and strong regeneration ability, the kangaroo giant was quite weak.
A modern Special Combat Team equipped with large-caliber firearms or flathrowers could easily subdue it.
The players involved in this mission had varying strengths.
A weaker Transcendent might have scored more rewards from the kangaroo giant.
“Hello, sir.”
The Asian girl struggled to stand, nervously and hopefully said, “Are you sent by the governnt to rescue us?”
“Sort of.”
Li Cheng gave her a once-over.
According to logic, souls of victims were pulled into the Otherworld, leaving their bodies in the real world as vegetative states.
The odd thing was, this person had a form in the Otherworld.
And judging by her clothing and exhaustion, she had been here for at least forty-eight hours.
“You ntioned ‘us,’ are there others besides you?”
“Yes.”
The girl nodded, “My companions and I left the temporary camp to search for water, food, and dicine, but got separated and were attacked by monsters.”
She shivered, imagining the consequences if Li Cheng hadn’t co; she would have been eaten eventually.
The drone detected nurous non-humanoid heat signatures nearby, triggering alarms.
“This isn’t the place to talk.”
Li Cheng opened the remote control with a freshly drawn 3D terrain map, handed it to her, and calmly said, “You recognize the route, right?
Lead to your camp.”
The girl took out a compass and a hand-drawn map from her backpack, struggled to identify the location, and finally pointed to an underground parking lot in a half-collapsed building.
Li Cheng retrieved the remote, took out a one-ti-use spatial capsule from GOC, summoned a multi-terrain armored transport, and invited her aboard.
The transport was electrically driven, quieter than the bat-winged motorcycle, allowing a rapid, unnoticed journey through rugged terrain to the destination.
“Here.”
Gray Rain fetched a bottled water from under the seat, handed it to the girl to wipe off the mucus, and simultaneously asked her na and recent experiences.
The girl introduced herself as Yang Wenhua, a sixteen-year-old from Singapore.
About three days ago, she was suddenly transported to the current wasteland, surrounded by a dozen equally unaware strangers her age.
Before they could react, mutant dog-like creatures attacked, killing most imdiately.
Yang Wenhua and a few survivors fled desperately, about to be caught when a young native Otherworld girl, dressed like a Scavenger, helped them escape and hide in an underground parking lot.
Her account of the apocalypse matched what Li Cheng had read—four years ago, during a human spatial transition experint, global natural disasters exploded.
National structures crumbled, societal order collapsed instantly.
Nurous mutant creatures appeared, preying on humans, and so survivors inexplicably transford into abominations.
Gray Rain t Li Cheng’s gaze through the front mirror, skepticism not abated.
After contemplating, she asked Yang Wenhua, “How do you prove you’re an Earth person?”
“…
Huh?”
Yang Wenhua was stunned, not understanding.
“Based on my intel, you’re in a vegetative state in the real world, yet you have a physical body here.”
Gray Rain boldly questioned, “So, how can you prove you’re an Earth person and not a mimicking creature?”
“This…”
Yang Wenhua was tongue-tied, akin to proving one’s mother gave birth to them, a nonsensical query, hard to answer.
“Fine, I’ll ask another way.”
Gray Rain solemnly asked, “Which of the following lines belongs to the classic novel ‘Journey to the West’ spoken by Sun Wukong?
A: I want this sky to no longer block my vision, I want this land to no longer bury my heart.
B: You monkey truly delight .
C: Taste my club!
D: Later this year, the US co-produced Journey to the West will start filming.
I will continue to play the role of Monkey King Sun Wukong, striving to create a positive image with the arts of the Monkey King, promoting Chinese Culture.”
“Th-this…”
Yang Wenhua’s eyes spun like mosquito coils, “I’ve never seen ‘Journey to the West’.”
“Haven’t seen Journey to the West, do you even deserve to be called Chinese?”
Gray Rain suddenly beca indignant, snatching away Yang Wenhua’s water bottle, loudly questioned, “Answer, what’s the next line after ‘Palace Jade Liquid Wine’?
Is the Russian President called Putin or Pudin?
What’s your social credit score?”
Gray Rain’s fervent questioning made Li Cheng, focused on driving, glance into the rearview mirror.
Firstly, with Gray Rain’s geography knowledge, it’s unlikely she knew Singapore was once a UK colony that had de-Sinicized long ago.
Secondly, she was a chanical citizen of Zeluo civilization, not even an Earth person, let alone Chinese.
Gray Rain noticed Li Cheng’s gaze and, with a proud posture, declared, “Actually, I’m already Chinese, I’ve joined the Chinese nationality.
Look.”
Saying this, she pulled out a Huawei Mate70pro from her chest, its case a Wolf Warrior 2 Leng Feng poster, lock screen Gu Ailing, screen background RNG team logo, the page Black Myth Wukong, even ringtone “All evil will be brought to justice!”
My chosen Hua guy.
Li Cheng hurriedly wiped his imaginary sweat off his forehead, concentrating back on driving.
