Doomsday Sacrifice

Chapter 153 Stifling
The supermarket is a good place, whether it is a peaceful era or the end of the world, supplies are needed at any time.

Going to the supermarket in peaceful times requires money, but in the last days, going to the supermarket is fatal.

But it's really hard to say whether money is important or life is important.

Man is a very complex creature, and it is not surprising to have any kind of ideas.

Extreme beasts are also very complex creatures, and it shouldn't be surprising to do some unexpected things.

For example, now, this second-class winged beast did not escape with the other winged beasts, but came to this supermarket alone, there must be some reason.

But for whatever reason, it was dead.

After the extreme beasts that had been killed so hard were intercepted by it one after another with most of their genetic energy, Li Xun and others hated it to the bone, and wanted to kill them quickly. Other extreme beasts could be spared, but it had to die.

After confirming the location of the second-class winged beast, Li Xun made some simple arrangements.

Lao Fan and the four guarded around the building, each responsible for a direction. In case of an accident, the winged beast escaped from the inside, and they would directly serve with energy guns.

Although it has an energy shield, it can only protect its head. As long as its wings are broken, it will never run again.

Of course, Li Xun is responsible for the task of killing it on the first floor of the supermarket.

After Lao Fan and the four had chosen their positions, each took their positions, and after the ambush was completed, Li Xun carried a hunting knife and carried two spikes into the supermarket.

Although it was daytime, the first floor of the supermarket was basically unable to receive sunlight due to the layout, but with night vision, the scene inside the store could be clearly seen in Li Xun's eyes.

The situation that came into view was obviously different from other supermarkets. There were no groups of zombies here. No, the zombies should have been cleaned up.

As far as the eye could see, it was a mess.

The north gate opposite to the south gate was shattered, and the supermarket was in a mess everywhere, as if a typhoon had blown through. There were still large bloodstains on the wall, and the black sticky blood had not coagulated.

There were more than a dozen corpses of zombies without heads or half of their bodies lying on the ground, and the marks of sharp teeth were clearly visible.

Obviously, all of this was done by the second-class winged beast.

Li Xun carefully avoided the sundries on the ground, and quietly walked to the basement floor from the escalator in the north.

The first thing I felt was a stench, a very touching and disgusting smell of dead fish, rotten shrimp and carrion.

Suppressing the discomfort, Li Xun took a sneaky look inside. The situation in the middle of the supermarket immediately caught his attention, and the pungent smell that rushed into his nasal cavity seemed to be temporarily forgotten.

He saw that the aisle between the grain and oil area and the frozen production area was covered with zombie corpses, densely packed, at least hundreds of them.

And on these corpses stood white eggs.

The shape of these eggs is similar to that of chicken eggs, one end is slightly pointed and the other end is round, but their volume is larger than eggs. It is about the size of a 20-jin bag of flour. Roughly, there are more than [-] eggs.

The second-class winged beast was facing away from Li Xun, and slowly squeezed out an egg from between its two hind legs, and landed on the corpse.

It actually stays here to reproduce.

Not long after leaving the battle, and this place is not too far from the International Trade Building, this winged beast dared to breed in such a place, without any defenses, it is really courageous.

But after thinking about it, Li Xun suddenly realized.

In fact, from the point of view of the winged beast, this does not seem to be a problem.

Second-class winged beasts have stronger strength than ordinary extreme beasts. Except for the bug-like existence like Li Xun, most evolutionaries will not pose much threat to it, and it is considered hidden here, and there are so many zombies for food. , very suitable for breeding offspring.

The most important thing is that it doesn't think Li Xun can find it.

But this is a rare opportunity for Li Xun. He can observe the breeding situation of polar beasts at close range, and learn more about polar beasts, which may be helpful for eradicating them in the future.

Li Xun thought about it, and quickly made a decision. It would not be too late to see how the polar beast breeds before killing it.

He quietly got off the elevator, hid behind a shelf with a good angle, and poked his head out carefully.

The Winged Beast is so absorbed in laying eggs that he is oblivious to his actions.

Li Xun first counted the number of eggs that had been laid, adding the one just now, there were 27 eggs in total.

Although the system said that the extreme beasts lay [-] to [-] eggs each time, I'm afraid they all produce according to the upper limit.

Sure enough, the winged beast moved forward, raised its buttocks, raised its tail, and No. 20 eight eggs came out quickly.

Li Xun couldn't see the specific production process, but based on the volume of [-] eggs, the belly of the winged beast... seems to be no problem to hold so many eggs.

Five minutes later, the No.5 nine and No.20 eggs were also born.

The production seemed to have consumed a lot of the pterosaur's energy. It rested for a few minutes and began to devour the corpses of the zombies.

It was pitch black in the supermarket, but the Winged Beast was not affected, and seemed to have night vision as well.

Li Xunxin said: Is this the end?There doesn't seem to be anything special about it, just like a snake laying eggs.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems reasonable, and there should be no need for fancy behaviors to breed offspring.

According to the system, after an egg is laid, it takes a three-day incubation period before it becomes a juvenile, and after another 30-day fission period, it becomes a mature body.

But judging from what Li Xun has so far, it is clear that the extreme beast has some way to shorten the maturation time of its offspring.

The winged beast stopped after devouring four zombie corpses in a row. After resting for a few minutes, it took another action.

It walked in front of an egg, and the ten tentacles on its head suddenly stretched out and placed on the egg. After a while, the tentacles began to glow slightly.

This scene was a little familiar, Li Xun recalled the scene where the beast on the freighter absorbed the flesh and blood of its companions and transformed it into energy, but the winged beast in front of him was obviously transmitting energy into the egg.

Li Xun's eyes widened, and he saw that the egg had also changed. It was slowly growing in size at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it shone like a star in the night sky.

Whenever the light is on, the eggshell will become transparent, and the things inside can be seen clearly, which clearly looks like a little winged beast.

And every time it lights up, the little pterosaur in the egg will grow a bit bigger.

Seven or eight minutes later, the egg had grown to the size of a gasoline barrel, and the winged beast withdrew its tentacles until the eggshell burst suddenly.

Eggs that previously took three days to hatch hatched in less than 10 minutes.

What came out of the shell was indeed a little pterosaur. It was the size of a cheetah when it was born, and it was alive and kicking after it came out. It first absorbed the eggshell with ten tentacles, and then began to devour the corpse of the zombie.

The second-class winged beast hatched five little winged beasts in the same way.

Li Xun has been staring at it intently, and an hour has passed without knowing it. He didn't feel anything, but he was anxious to the four people outside the supermarket.

Lao Fan was guarding the roof of a three-story building to the west of the supermarket. He had already checked his watch seven or eight times. If he hadn't looked at Cheng Xi, who was also on the top of a two-story building to the north, he would have made an OK gesture , he might not be able to resist calling Li Xun.

Shen Yiqing, who was guarding the east side, was also a little impatient. She used her ability to ask Cheng Xi twice, and Cheng Xi also replied him with an OK gesture.

On the contrary, Yu Qingming was very calm and waited patiently.

The least worried thing was Cheng Xi, who also put a mark on Li Xun before he entered the supermarket.

His ability to make a mark consumes a certain amount of energy, but when he perceives the mark, apart from the need to concentrate, the energy consumed is almost negligible, so Cheng Xi keeps turning it on.

He sensed that Li Xun hadn't moved since he entered the basement floor, and the second-class winged beast had hardly moved. Obviously, Li Xun hadn't moved for some reason. He speculated that some behavior of the winged beast might have caused Li Xun to looking for interest.

As long as it wasn't an accident, since Li Xun didn't move, just wait patiently.

Li Xun, who was hiding behind the shelf, felt that the time was almost up. After knowing how the winged beast hatched eggs faster, there was no need to wait any longer.

If all the thirty eggs were hatched, it would take about four or five hours. Although Cheng Xi had marked him and probably knew his actions, the longer the time, the more accidents would happen.

The seventh egg hatched immediately, and the six little winged beasts that had hatched were still eating, resting, digesting, and eating non-stop. Li Xun was going to wait until the eighth egg was hatched by the winged beast.

He is more interested in what kind of polar beast will be born from the seventh egg.

When the seventh egg absorbed energy and became brighter, the shape of the polar beast inside was a bit strange, obviously not the appearance of an ordinary polar beast or winged beast, it actually looked like a squid.

"Snapped……"

With a crisp sound, the seventh egg finally broke.

The one that came out of it was no ordinary polar beast. It was not covered with scales like other small polar beasts born, nor did it have spiny fins, limbs and tail.

There is only one oval head with ten tentacles covering one-third of the head.

If it weren't for these ten tentacles, Li Xun would definitely not have thought about the beast when he saw this little thing alone.

And what's even more strange is that this strange thing has no eyes, no mouth, no ears... In short, it doesn't have any of the things that ordinary polar beasts have.

As soon as it came out of the eggshell, it punched the corpse of the zombie, and saw ten tentacles light up at the same time. After a while, the corpses under it also lighted up, which looked very strange.

When the second-class winged beast saw it, it hurriedly pushed away the remaining eggs. Seeing its profligacy, it seemed that it wasn't worried that those eggs would break.

In fact, a few eggs did hit the shelves, and one slammed directly into a post, but the shell was unexpectedly hard, and nothing happened.

But Li Xun's heart skipped a beat when he saw it. The behavior of this winged beast was very strange, as if that strange newborn thing would threaten those eggs.

Those little winged beasts also dragged a few zombie corpses away for a distance.

At this time, the strange thing changed again. The zombie corpses under it disappeared, and all of them turned into energy and flowed into its body, if the oval thing was its body.

Its body became a little bigger, and at the same time, some slender things grew out of its head, densely packed and dark, looking like... hair?
Then I saw that its body without legs didn't know what to do, and suddenly jumped up, and an amazing scene appeared.

The tens of thousands of hairs on its head elongated suddenly, piercing into the ceiling like sharp knives, some even penetrated the iron pipes above, while its body was suspended in the air, about three meters above the ground.

Then a thin and long thing grew out from the lower end of the body, extending downward at a speed visible to the naked eye, until it was inserted into the floor like tofu.

A few seconds later, the oval-shaped thing suddenly lit up, and then a piece of aurora appeared around it, which spread out five meters and barely stopped.

Li Xun's heart shrank suddenly. Looking at this weird thing, the first thought that popped up in his mind was that this is clearly an upside-down fortune tree.

He guessed right before that the Fortune Tree was indeed a special beast, and everything he saw clearly confirmed this.

But the newly formed thing in front of him is obviously not a fortune tree, but another kind of thing. It's hard to say what it is.

If those hair-like things are releasing extreme energy, then the long thing that goes deep into the ground should absorb some kind of energy, and the energy in the ground is not small.

He immediately activated the genetic evolution method, and two balls, one large and one small, appeared inside the oval thing hanging in the air in his perception.

Sure enough, the big ball has already started to absorb energy from the ground, but the hair-like thing has not yet started to release extreme energy.

The innermost small ball also has purple-orange energy slowly rotating, but it is obviously not as much energy as the fortune tree on the TV tower.

So far, the origin of the rich tree is completely clear.

Li Xun also did not expect that in the process of chasing and killing the winged beast, he accidentally saw the birth and growth process of a special beast like a fortune tree, which is quite a good windfall.

The second-class extreme beasts carefully avoided the range of the aurora, and the few newborn little winged beasts obviously knew the danger of the aurora, even if there were many zombie corpses in the aurora, they did not dare to go in and devour them.

This is the weirdest thing. It is also a polar beast. This kind of polar beast that can produce aurora is a fatal threat to other polar beasts. I have to say that this species is really amazing.

The second-class polar beast devoured several corpses, and after resting for a while, it began to hatch the eighth egg.

Li Xun tightened the spikes in his hands and was ready to strike. There must never be another fortune tree here. Although the core of this thing has a fatal threat to the beasts, it also has a fatal attraction to them.

It won't be long before more polar beasts will be attracted here, and this place will become another China World Trade Center, a lair for accelerated evolution of polar beasts, which must be strangled in the cradle.

While the second-class winged beast was still hatching its eighth egg, Li Xun flashed out from behind the shelf like a ghost, raised his right hand, and a spike pierced the darkness soundlessly, and inserted straight into the winged beast's head , its body tilted and lost its vitality.

Under the guidance of energy perception, the other spike was inserted into the small ball in the body of the special polar beast without any mistakes, killing it with one blow.
