monster he just wants to be a good guy

Perhaps, loneliness is something every wanderer needs to get used to.

In this dilapidated building complex, the stubble of steel bars is strewn high and low like dead branches, surrounded by undulating piles of rubble and rubble. A giant claw stepped on the broken glass, making a crisp, crackling sound.

The dog monster was very hungry, and his saliva dripped down.

Not far away is the glass tower.Decades ago, this was the core of the besieged city, surrounded by various business districts and residences.But now, the prosperity is gone, and after decades of wind and rain and monster battles, this place has been reduced to ruins.

Unknowingly, it has become a breeding ground and paradise for monsters.

Most of the most common pets kept by people in the city, such as cats and dogs, were mostly alienated into human-eating monsters after the catastrophe broke out.There are also many cockroaches, mosquitoes, and mice that originally bred in the urban gutters are also flooded.

The dog monster was looking for food aimlessly, when it suddenly smelled something, its huge nose kept shaking, and quickly ran towards a corner of the ruins, and found the source of the smell - dropped a few drops on the glass shards Dark red blood spots.

It buried its head in digging in the rubble with its paws, and made a loud noise. The attention of all the monsters lurking around was attracted by the movement of the dog monster digging, and they didn't notice that the lid of a trash can was shaking in the distance. After a while, it was slowly opened, and the two shadows turned out of the trash can without a sound, leaving this place of right and wrong.

Lu Man followed behind, imitating the steps of the man in front of him, tightening his core and abdomen, and slowly landing on the heels first, then the soles of his feet. He was as agile and light as a cat.

Just now, Old Jane deliberately dripped the blood collected in advance to divert the attention of the monsters, and they took this opportunity to sneak towards the tower.

It has been a week since the last time he spoke honestly with Adjutant Chen. During this period, after Lu Man had ingested swordfish blood and slept, he was arranged by Adjutant Chen to go to the three-district prison without stopping to take the ability test.

The people who assisted him were the testers who had also given self-control training to Le Youyuan and Fan Anyang before, and the most experienced deputy director Wang of the Monster Research Institute.

Director Wang, with a Mediterranean hairstyle, flipped through the materials, his eyes lit up little by little, and he started to ask questions after pestering Lu Man:

"I see that your information shows that you can switch up to 8 monster forms... Then how many monster abilities can you use at the same time? Are there any after-effects? How about the switching speed and cooling time? How about ability coordination?"

Lu Man was totally confused by this series of cannonballs.

"The premise of using it is to understand. It doesn't matter if you don't know it now. I heard from Adjutant Chen that you are short on time. Don't worry, five days, only five days, we will figure it out..." The tester said with a smile arrive.

Seeing the two people in front of them gearing up and their eyes sparkling, Lu Man shivered involuntarily, feeling like a weak, pitiful and helpless little white mouse who had been forced into a corner with no way out on the laboratory bench.

After continuous, day and night trials and explorations, Lu Man finally figured out where the boundaries of his abilities lie.

The blank mind when fighting the monsters in Qingmiao Village was indeed not an illusion, but a sequela caused by the overload of ability use. It has been found that there are two reasons for this.

The first is to switch one after another and the speed is too fast.Generally, the speed of Lu Man's transformation is between 1 second and 3 seconds, and the time can be compressed to less than half a second through willpower. If the speed of transformation exceeds two times, Lu Man will feel a little dizzy.

The second is to mobilize multiple forms at the same time or in a short period of time.Lu Man can't only turn into one kind of monster at a time, but can turn into a mixture of various monster characteristics.For example, when he fought with the turtle monster before, he had bat wings on his back, the upper part of the wolf body, and the lower part of the powerful suction octopus tentacles.

After the experiment, Lu Man can currently support up to 5 combinations of forms at the same time, and there will be a 10-minute brain blank afterwards.

"These two situations should be avoided as much as possible in the future. Using capacity overload may cause irreversible damage to the brain."

"As for whether ingesting too many types of monster blood will have an impact on the body, it seems unclear at present. But be careful, if you ingest a new type of monster blood in the future and your body feels strange, this matter It must be stopped immediately."

Lu Man nodded like pounding garlic.

Of course, Lu Man also measured the limits of many individual abilities.

In order to explore the furthest distance between the main body of the fog monster's ability and the half-body soul, Lu Man turned into an eagle and flew into the sky.He flew obliquely above the clouds, at an altitude of nearly 200 kilometers from the ground, the oxygen was thin and the temperature plummeted. He felt that his wings were about to be frozen by frost. This was not enough, and Lu Man flew straight forward for a long time At the same time, he kept talking to Lu Man who stayed in the harbor in his heart.

According to Xiao Ai's calculation based on the combination of time and speed, the "signal" of spiritual communication will become weaker about 500 kilometers away, and the communication will be intermittent, and the communication will become weaker as the distance increases.

The same goes for the resonance in the body. If Lu Man is injured a thousand kilometers away, Lu Man will also feel it, but the pain is relatively mild.

They also calculated the blood intake and face-changing time in the monkey monster, and also sorted out a conversion table. On average, 1 milliliter of blood or 1 cubic centimeter of body tissue can support face-changing for 5 minutes.There are also the olfactory sensitivity of wolves, the load-bearing range of tortoise shells, the degree of octopus paralysis toxins, and the breadth of sound wave diffusion of bats... They have carried out data analysis on these.

In addition, there are various permutations and combinations of morphological abilities, and there are at least 56 pure mathematical calculation angles, but not every combination is suitable.They found a few collocations that would be most useful for Lu Man's journey later on.

For example, one of them is a monkey monster paired with a fog monster. After splitting, one of them devours other people's blood, hair or other body tissues to "change face" to pretend to be another person's appearance, which can well avoid the need to The embarrassing situation of two identical "Lu Man" appeared when they split up.

After five days of "devil" training, and being naughty by director Wang and testers every day, Lu Man had a systematic understanding of his abilities, and was called over by Adjutant Chen without even taking a few breaths. , let him take a break, and set off later to learn how to survive in an unfamiliar and dangerous environment.

"How should I contact that senior?" Lu Man was a little puzzled. The wilderness is so vast, and finding someone is like finding a needle in a haystack.

"I made an appointment with him to meet at the old place every once in a while, and this afternoon happened to be the time we agreed on."

Chen Mu took Lu Man, got into the "old guy" whose back compartment was filled with basic supplies, and drove towards the core urban area. Somewhere on the edge, Lu Man finally saw the mysterious senior.

The man's hair was disheveled and tied in many knots, his chin was stubbled, his face was covered with a layer of dirt made of plaster, and the contours of his facial features could hardly be seen clearly.What he was wearing was not so much clothes as a strip of dingy rags.When the wind blew, the cloth fluttered, and most of his dark gray chest was exposed like this.

"I'll entrust you to take care of Lu Man these days." Chen Mu patted Lu Man on the shoulder.

"Old Jane." He nodded slightly, his voice hoarse as if he had thick phlegm in his mouth.

It took Lu Man a while to realize that the man in front of him was announcing himself.He hastily bowed slightly, and said with sincerity, "Hi, I'm Lu Man, please trouble Uncle Jian."

Old Jane didn't reply, dragging the supplies that Chen Mu sent him, and walked in another direction.Seeing that Lu Man didn't follow, he slowed down.Chen Mu gently pushed Lu Man forward a step, and he ran towards Old Jane like a bird flapping its wings.

Old Jane brought Lu Man back to his "home". It was in a leaky basement on the edge of the core city. The stack of stones used to warm the fire in a semicircle, as well as some odds and ends, were randomly piled under the bed.

Lu Man noticed that he had smeared several thick layers of dust on the outside of the windproof paper shell, and he could smell the same smell as the plaster on Lao Jian's clothes and face. They were all monster corpse ash used to cover up human breath. .

Early the next morning, Old Jane went out, and Lu Man followed him, watching him rummage through trash cans and rubble with iron hooks, predicting that the monster would hide in advance and pretend to be dead, and walked more than ten kilometers to the place. The small puddles on the verge of drying up filled the large plastic bottles hanging around the waist, and harvested mushrooms and bark in a small forest next to the city.

It's normal to not talk during the day in the wilderness. At night, they returned to their "home" and started a fire. Old Jane boiled the raw water and gave it to Lu Man to drink. When the pot came out, they threw the picked mushrooms and bark into the pot and cooked them for Lu Man to eat. Other than that, they had no other communication.

Lu Man was not used to it and didn't know how to get along with him.

This senior Jane is different from the people he has met before. When the fire was raised at night, everyone in Qingmiao Village wanted to eat meat and chat together to make it lively. However, Senior Jane seems to be an extremely taciturn person. Is it because of his nature, or has he lost his ability to communicate with others because of years of wandering life?

Or maybe, loneliness is something every wanderer needs to get used to.

Before going to bed, Old Jane stomped out the flames and lay back on her creaky old bed. Lu Man brought a sleeping bag in advance, unzipped it and got in.The two had nothing to say all night.

It was still the same the next day. Old Jane didn't take the initiative to communicate with Lu Man other than eating and drinking, let alone teach him any experience and skills of wilderness survival. He just repeated the life of sunrise and sunset every day.

Although there are no "words", but there are "teachings", Lu Man has been secretly observing, imitating, and learning by his side, and also learned some small knowledge, such as the skills of rummaging through garbage, types of mushrooms, and water filtration. method……

It has been three days since Lu Man started his scavenging career with Old Jane, and his cheeks have become a little gray, but he looks quite decent.

When she woke up early in the morning on the fourth day, Old Jane didn’t go out with gloves and iron hooks, a big plastic bottle and a broken bag hanging from her waist as before. Instead, she found a mountaineering bag from under the bed that was incompatible with the surrounding environment. The bag was stuffed with all kinds of things, and it was bulging.

Lu Man recognized that this bag was stuffed into him when Chen Mu sent him over two days ago.

Old Jane put on her backpack, and Lu Man was about to follow, when Old Jane stopped, turned her head to look at him and said:

"Don't follow, and don't go out."

This was the first time in a few days that he took the initiative to speak to Lu Man.

"Where are you going?"

Lu Man asked.

Old Jane came to the door and pointed to the distance.Lu Man looked in the direction his finger was pointing at, it was the glass tower reflecting the color of the sky.

"You're going to the Tower? Why?"

The tower is located in the core of the city, and it is also the most dangerous place.

Old Jane didn't answer, but just turned around and left with her bag on her back.

"Uncle Jian, when are you coming back?"

Lu Man asked in a low voice. He was in the upwind direction, and his voice easily drifted to the man's ears under the influence of the wind.

"Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow." Or maybe never come back again, Lu Man could hear what he meant.

Lu Man didn't listen to him, and ran over, quietly following behind Old Jane.

"you……"

A wave of emotion finally appeared on Old Jane's face, and she looked at him with a frown.Lu Man finally understood why Old Jane was always expressionless, because once she smiled or frowned, the ashes of the monster's corpse would fall down.

"I'm not afraid of danger."

Lu Man responded with a smile.
