Chapter 20 Detour

This is because the grenade launcher is friendly enough. Although it has a large caliber, its recoil is not very strong, and it is actually very easy for ordinary people to operate.

Because the grenade launcher has a large caliber, but the number of ammunition loaded is generally relatively small-he exchanged for a rear-mounted grenade launcher that can only hold one round of ammunition-so the power is not large, and the length of the launch tube is relatively short.

Since the initial velocity of the grenade is relatively low and the chamber pressure is also very low, the recoil is naturally relatively small.

Dual wielding is naturally more stable, but it is said that it can actually be launched even if one hand is not touching the shoulder... It is because of this that Xia Ran chooses to exchange it.

There are gains and losses, so the grenade launcher's loading capacity, loading speed, range and other attributes are all flaws, but Xia Ran doesn't care about these flaws at all, because according to his usage, these weapons Defects simply don't exist.

——It is mainly used to make up the knife at the critical moment, or to face the weak chicken dying enemy just now, to seize the opportunity directly is to hit the soul.

No matter what time, one shot is enough, it is almost impossible for him to choose to face more than two enemies at the same time.And even if there is only one enemy, if a grenade can't kill him, he will never take the risk of continuing to fight.

Instead, they will immediately distance themselves and find ways to escape... retreat strategically to ensure their own safety.

After all, if he had no chance to distance himself because of the enemy's actions, he certainly would have no chance to fire a second shot.

therefore.

The troublesome shortcomings such as the amount of ammunition loaded and the loading speed are not a problem at all in his opinion.

But this time, Xia Ran's estimation was a bit wrong. Maybe there is nothing wrong with the system's explanation. Normal people can use grenade launchers without touching their shoulders with one hand, but that's because normal people's normal strength value should be 5 o'clock.

And he only has 4 points of strength, relatively speaking, at least 20.00% lower in wrist strength, grip strength, etc., plus he still uses his left hand, so...

The recoil still bruised his wrist.

——Actually, it was also expected. He was worried that the injury to his right hand would have a greater impact, so he selectively sacrificed his left hand when he had to shoot with one hand.

Although the system provides a repair function, there is a troublesome limitation, that is, it can only be used after leaving the mission world and returning to one's own personal area. There is no way to call for a comprehensive repair service anytime, anywhere without restriction.

Therefore, although this is not a serious injury, Xia Ran needs to take care of it slowly.

Enduring the pain, he walked up to the edge of the cliff and looked down, only to see the rough waves below, the waves hitting the rocks and splashing white waves and white foam, but there was nothing else.

The parasitic beast that couldn't even control its own body was kicked back and forth by him, staggered and lost its balance on the edge of the cliff, and was shot with a flame bomb at the last moment, so it was already dead. If he died again, the current body would naturally disappear into the waves.

In fact, even if he didn't use the grenade launcher, he simply kicked that thing off the cliff just now, and he probably got the head.

It's just that Xia Ran felt that it was not safe enough, and he didn't want to take the risk of uncertainty in the future, so he chose to take a little risk... He subconsciously looked to the side, and couldn't help sighing, there were some traps he had prepared earlier , but to no avail.

After all, his memory was very vague, and being able to barely determine the location of the battlefield was the limit, and he couldn't remember more details. He didn't expect that the parasitic beast didn't come slowly, but rushed out suddenly to launch a surprise attack.

So much so that the previous preparations were not able to be used. His initial plan was to deal with that thing, lure the other party to step on the trap, and then continue to use the righteous style of play.

However, it is acceptable to take a little risk. After all, the rewards are indeed very generous. Although the reward for killing this parasitic beast alone is only a very poor point x 100, and free attribute points x 1...

It seemed to be a symbolic gift. If Xia Ran added a few more attributes to increase his ability value by a small amount, maybe he would have nothing.

But the point is not this, but after that, a prompt message that followed——

"Save Nobuko Izumi, get points × 15000, B-level Karma Crystal × 1, and the degree of world interference has been greatly improved"

A huge sum of money speaks volumes about the importance of this woman.

But think about it, if she hadn't died, Quan Xinyi wouldn't have encountered a series of accidents later——

She was pierced through the heart by a monster that looked like her own mother, and was rescued by Xiaoyou with all her strength, and she came back to life with a new look.

Because he has Xiaoyou's cells all over his body, all aspects of his body's ability values ​​have surpassed human breakthroughs.The most important thing is that the thinking has also undergone tremendous changes, and the psychology has become extremely cold, without innocence and timidity, from cowardly to strong.

At the same time, he also lost part of the pity and humanity he should have as a human being. Although he can feel sad, he still can't shed a single tear.

A series of changes, all the fates stemmed from the fact that Quan Xinzi was killed by the parasitic beast, and the moment he was parasitic began to change.

If the mother hadn't died, how would the fate of the protagonist in the plot change drastically?In what direction will the future direction of this world tend?If you think about it carefully, you will find that this is really nothing to say.

If it is very difficult to change this node and requires hard work, probably more points can be obtained, not just these... Although it is a huge sum of money for the current Xia Ran, but he passed the point To judge the price-performance ratio, I found that there is indeed a feeling that it is not worthy.

As for the specific effect of increasing the degree of world interference, Xia Ran is not sure.

The only thing that is certain is that at the moment when the degree of interference was greatly increased, he did feel a sudden rejection, and the estimated return time in the system also directly shrunk, from one year to two months.

"what?"

Slightly squinting her eyes, Xia Ran suddenly found that there seemed to be a light spot floating in the waves below, because it was white in itself, and it was almost difficult to see among the white foam sprayed by the waves hitting the cliffs and reefs.

If he hadn't looked twice, he might have missed it directly.

Wait, is this explosive equipment?Why didn't the previous fully parasitic beasts explode, but this dung-making machine, which was wasting air to live, exploded instead?Is it purely based on probability, or is it only the special characters or monsters that have a greater influence that will explode?

These thoughts flashed through his mind, Xia Ran shook his head, then turned around to look at the frightened husband and wife behind him, and exhaled.

But at this time, he has no way to go down to get things for the time being, he can only hope that it will not be refreshed directly...

It's better to deal with this couple first, and then find a chance to come back here to have a look.

……

……

About half an hour later, they returned to the town, and the three of them appeared in the hotel.

The two couples, who were slightly in shock, listened to Xia Ran's explanation of what happened before.And after the latter spent a lot of time talking, the two finally understood what happened just now, and what the monster that was staring at them before was.

"...Parasite?"

"Yes, that's what I call them... I don't know when and where they came from."

Xia Ran, who was sitting opposite the couple, nodded lightly, raised the cup with her right hand and took a sip of tea with a calm expression.

"However, judging from the timing of the murder and mutilation cases, it can probably be traced back to two or three months ago."

His left hand became more and more swollen and painful, but he kept his expression on the surface, and his identity was questionable, so it was impossible to go to the hospital.I can only think about how to solve this big or small problem later.

However, Quan Xinyi's parents did not have such a strong heart as him, and when they just learned about such a terrible thing, the three views were undoubtedly shaken most violently, and both of them looked terrified.

"The murder case?"

"So, so...it's them..."

Xia Ran put down the cup, lightly pressed the peaked cap on her head, and said in a low voice:

"That's right, they are eating people... To be precise, what species are they parasitic on, and what species are they eating? Didn't you see it? The wife and daughter were mutilated, and the missing husband was suspected of being the murderer. In those cases All of them account for a considerable proportion.”

"How could this be...such a thing..."

Quan Xinzi opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but was gently held back by her husband beside her. She turned her head to look, only to see her husband shaking his head slightly.

Because Quan Yizhi was more likely to believe this statement than his own wife, he still felt lingering fear until now, and the extremely thrilling scene before would probably become a nightmare that haunted him for the rest of his life in the future.

That huge gaping mouthpart...

The eyeballs and bone blades at the top of the tentacles...

And the head of his wife shrouded in shadow...

He had no doubts that if the young man in front of him hadn't happened to meet the two of them, his wife would have been in trouble now, or he wouldn't even be able to escape.

Xia Ran on the opposite side lowered her eyes slightly, and a gleam of light flashed on her glasses.

Approaching Quan Xinyi rashly is not justified in itself, and it is easy to arouse the other party's suspicion, but now it is an excellent opportunity to get closer to the other party's parents. Now it seems that I have initially gained the trust of these two people.

"Wait, you...you just said that those parasitic beasts will eat people's brains and replace their original identities?"

At this time, as a mother, Quan Xinzi seemed to suddenly think of some bad things, and her voice began to tremble.

She just felt that her son had changed a lot during this period of time, and she almost didn't feel like her own son anymore.And the previous encounter confirmed the existence of some kind of man-eating monster. The young man in front of him who was the same age as his son also said a very terrible thing.

Parasites are called parasites because they burrow into the body of a living being and grab the brain, then manage this "dead body".

Maybe someone looks like that person on the surface, but in fact, he may have been replaced by some monster long ago...
