Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland.

Chapter 620 Fish-Shaped Man

Two sticky human skins fell to the ground. The faces were clearly those of Wen Jin and Li Rong...but now they were as pale as death, and looked like the shed shells of a toad or a poisonous snake.

Standing still.

He can no longer be called a human being.

Their bodies were covered with shells like those of insects or aquatic creatures, with a row of spikes running through their chests and abdomens, like hooks; and the warriors' originally powerful hands became abnormally large until they exploded, revealing a pair of claws.

The changes were the same as what happened to Julie before her death, and because of the secret preparations, the speed and degree of the changes were far superior to hers.

"Ho..."

There was a gurgling sound, like drowning.

It was the two monsters' mouths opening and closing, revealing their mouthparts for sucking.

It looks like a creature crawling out of hell.

at the same time.

A foul smell spread out, with a strange green color, as if it were real.

Anyone who catches even a whiff of it will feel their stomach churning and they will want to vomit: if I must describe it, it's like a dead fish rotting endlessly in sewage.

This time even Lu Meng couldn't help but frown and took a step back... He should have gotten a breathing filter from the priest of the order and installed it.

For him, whose sense organs are now extremely sharp, this is tantamount to torture.

At the same time, from his eyes.

There was a barely perceptible flash of disgust.

"Roar---"

Before the roar stopped, the monster transformed by Li Rong had already rushed forward recklessly. Its movements were incredibly fast. If it had been that fast just now, Li Rong might have been able to rescue Wang Chi in time.

But, this obviously comes at a price.

As its body got closer, one could see flesh and blood wriggling and boiling in the cracks of its shell, bubbles bubbling out, and a strong, fishy stench emanating - the human's original body was still reacting violently to the drug that had caused the mutation.

Li Rong still had a long sword on his back, but with his current consciousness and the degree of his body changes, it was no longer necessary to use it. He just waved his huge claws and grabbed forward!
Lu Meng stretched out his hand to his waist and used the [Magic Hands] skill to quickly find a weapon from his backpack that was like a small warehouse - in just a moment, the handle appeared in his palm again.

This time, it was a steel mace.

Each root has sharp thorns and curls up.

Without any skills, he poured all his strength into a swing, leaving a meteor shower-like flash in the air, just capturing the trajectory of Li Rong's forward charge.

The shell exploded.

If this bullet had hit a normal person, it would have been enough to grind half of his body into pulp like a meat grinder - but Li Rong's abdomen only had a big hole sunken in, and the outer shell shattered and peeled off, revealing all kinds of mutated and inhuman organs inside.

At the same time, a series of prompts flashed before his eyes:
[Lower limb loss coefficient, lower bleeding rate...higher hunger rate]

[Speed ​​increase bonus, swimming increase bonus... dodge increase decreased]

[Chest and abdomen health x1.5, limb health x2.0...]

[Race: Ordinary...]

"Fish, fish-shaped people!" A hunter from Ai Mine Town saw their appearance clearly, his face suddenly turned pale, and he cried out in fear while enduring the stench.

They thought that Li Rong, who had stopped them before, had been transformed into a monster, but they did not expect that it was this strange race from the extreme south. They lived in the vast ocean like aquatic animals, so they were called fish-shaped people. Some people said that the deep sea was their home, but they could also come ashore.

The area of ​​the ocean far exceeds that of the land, and no one knows how many fish-shaped people there are in the world: if they did not begin to rot and stink after leaving the water, and had not had to rely on their own strong regenerative ability to maintain life, repairing themselves as they died... they would probably have occupied the entire continent long ago.

Instead of huddling on a small "fish island" south of the Wasteland of Bones as it is now - even so, after the decline of the Mine Town, the remnants of this city-state were often harassed and slaughtered by the scattered fish-shaped people.

Suffered from it.

However, today they——

But he was watching before his eyes a human being who was originally one of his compatriots, transformed into a fish-shaped man... So, did these monsters really come from the ocean before?
"boom!"

Li Rong was knocked away with great effort.

Its internal organs were broken, and a thick scarlet liquid was flowing out, making it look dilapidated. Even if it had fully activated its fish-shaped human form, it was still no match for Lu Meng.

The smooth black stone ground reflected the hideous shadow, and its eyeballs bulging out of the eyelids reflected the precious blue core.

The sphere is not very big.

But it occupied Li Rong's entire vision.

——To be honest, he regretted it very much.

He regretted becoming a half-human, half-ghost appearance, and regretted becoming a monster that almost made him vomit when he saw it in the technology hunter's file.

Becoming a fish-shaped man certainly gave him unparalleled power. He had also thought about what the Mine Hunter had thought about. He had also been puzzled as to why the fish-shaped men attacked villages and towns and plundered humans...

In addition to eating, is it possible that it is for "reproduction"?

If an ordinary person who is weak and powerless can fight fully armed soldiers with his physical body after transforming into a murloc... then what about these elite warriors who are already extraordinary in skills?

The United Cities told him the answer.

Use themselves.

Li Rong roared and raged... Yes, he regretted it. Becoming a fish-shaped man also meant that he could never return to a normal life - it was fine to stay in the lagoon, but once he went on a mission, his body would emit a fishy stench all the time. Liu Si had complained to him more than once and asked him to take more showers so that the smell could be suppressed... But Li Rong knew that it was not because the dirt was washed away, but only when it came into contact with running water would the inside of his body stop rotting.

For this reason, he could only suppress it with the freshener exchanged from the headquarters. Even if he left it alone, he could feel his body transforming step by step into a real fish-shaped man.

Maybe one day, he would completely throw himself into the arms of those monsters, living underwater all day, eating raw meat and drinking blood like a beast... But this was definitely not the life he was originally promised!
Wang Chi received the transformation of the Shak people, that crazy woman Julie did not care about anything for revenge, Xiang Feng did it for... but he himself, just wanted to pursue power and stand out among the technology hunters!

Everything……

It’s all because of the smart core.

Because it was taken away, Mrs. Merlin, who was wandering in the end, was unable to carry out the next experiment... Their transformation plan was only a half-finished product.

In order to truly complete evolution.

Or just go back to being yourself.

We must take it back!
"Gululu..."

A fish-shaped man looking at a blue sphere.

There was a sound like drowning.
