Aurora Soldiers

Chapter 8 Changes in the Heart-Care Knife

The situation was safe for the time being, and Zhang Chengguang finally had the energy to analyze the current situation and what he had just encountered.

"Those monsters have extremely strong physical fitness and can crush ordinary human adult males in all aspects. They have certain intelligence and can act in groups, but their IQs should not be very high, and their fighting skills can only be called ordinary. Otherwise, It is impossible for me to kill two monsters without making much noise. If it is an individual with a very high IQ, when the first monster is seriously injured, its first reaction should be to call out to its companions."

"Extremely strong in physical fitness, able to move in groups but not outstanding in IQ. His bloodthirsty nature may overwhelm reason during battle. He has fighting skills but cannot be called proficient... However, compared to the zombie apocalypse crisis in novels and movies, light Just having an IQ is troublesome enough, but the monster's visit just now almost put me in a desperate situation."

Zhang Chengguang carefully recalled the details of the previous battle, summarizing the characteristics of the monster and what was missing during the battle.

The previous battle was, after all, his first real life-and-death battle. He was too nervous and his strength was not fully utilized. If it happened again, in a one-on-one situation, he should be able to kill monsters more easily, and now Wearing protective gear, he is sure to win even when faced with the siege of three monsters.

The physical appearance of those ghosts looks scary, but they are still made of flesh and blood and are not invincible.

If there are thermal weapons, they are even more vulnerable.

But why is it that now, there is still no sign of any reaction from state violence agencies?
  Is it because the incident happened suddenly and all parties have not yet reacted, or is it because the army is already on the way and it will take some time to suppress the monster that suddenly appears?
  Or...all parties around the world have fallen?
  Thinking of this, he thought of the huge unexplainable crack in the sky that he had seen before, of the cell phone that suddenly couldn't be turned on even though it was fully charged, of the widespread disappearance of electricity, and of the cars breaking down on the street. Car.

Although the physical fitness of these monsters is exaggerated, they only hold primitive melee weapons. Even if they were to hit them with a car, or if they could not escape by car, the city would not be in such a miserable situation now, right?
  There must have been some unknown change that he didn't know about.

At this thought, Zhang Chengguang's heart moved and he began to rummage around the room.

The owners of this villa should be an elderly couple. The interior decoration adopts a Chinese retro style, but probably because it has not been renovated for too long, the various decorations look very old, giving people a bleak feeling. .

The male host must be a long-time smoker. Zhang Chengguang rummaged around in the bedroom and found a few cartons of cigarettes and a brand new box of lighters.

He took out a new lighter and tried to light a fire.

As a result, there was no reaction at all, and there was no obvious sparks even from the flint.

Zhang Chengguang continued to adjust the lighter setting to the maximum. Originally, the new lighter was ignited at this setting, and the flames could instantly shoot up to a height of more than ten centimeters. But now, after Zhang Chengguang started the lighter several times in a row, he could barely detect a faint flame. It flashed by and soon disappeared completely.

He continued to take out other lighters and tried to light them one by one, but the results were all the same.

He was able to confirm that these lighters were all intact.

"You can't really be that fucked up, can you?"

Zhang Chengguang was silent for a moment. He suddenly understood why the streets were full of broken down vehicles, and why these monsters were able to run rampant in the city and kill wantonly with their mortal bodies and cold weapons.

All human scientific and technological achievements must be helped by various energy sources if they are to be effective. Otherwise, those mechanical behemoths that can move mountains and fill seas will be nothing more than a pile of scrap metal.

Without energy, human civilization will suffer unimaginable regression.

All the technologies and sharp weapons we once relied on have failed. If that kind of monster now spreads all over the world and hunts humans, then the entire human society may fall.

The end is coming and there is chaos!
  "Only the effectiveness of butane has dropped sharply? Or is this the case for all 'fuels'? If the effectiveness of gunpowder also drops significantly, the power of hot weapons will also be greatly weakened, and even the lethality of crossbows and cold weapons will not be possible... "

"Will electricity be affected? At present, I don't seem to feel that the physical rules have changed much. Gravity still exists, and wind and water power should also still exist. Even if fuel cannot be used to generate electricity, wind power, tidal power or even solar power can be used. Is that possible? However, Guangjiang City’s electricity supply seems to come from hydroelectric power stations, but now there is still a power outage in the whole city. What is going on?..."

Zhang Chengguang's mind is a little messed up. He only has a bachelor's degree, and he studied a useless history department among liberal arts majors. After graduation, he has been relying on operating self-media to make a living. He can't say that he knows nothing about various principles of science and engineering. He can only It is said that he has only a half-knowledge.

He didn't know to what extent this unknown change in energy had reached, and whether it had involved some basic laws that humans once believed to be truth.

All he knew was that maybe he should prepare for the worst. That means the world has fallen, no rescue will come, and he can only rely on his own strength to survive.

"Wait until dark. If there is no sign of rescue coming even after dark... maybe you really have to rely on yourself."

Zhang Chengguang's mood was very complicated, and he could not suppress a feeling of confusion.

Everything seemed normal when he woke up this morning. The actual combat area of ​​the Battle Hall was about to be completed and would be officially opened soon. He also made an appointment with a few friends to get together to discuss and try it out, but now it has become like this.

I don’t know how those guys are doing now and whether they survived.

Zhang Chengguang quickly suppressed these thoughts. Those guys are all capable, and they are not showy. They have deep practical skills. As long as their luck is not too bad, the probability of survival is much higher than that of ordinary people.

It took about a few minutes to calm down. Zhang Chengguang knew that he could not be immersed in this despair and had to learn more about the changes in the world. Therefore, he took out the care knife and slowly pulled the long knife out of the sheath. .

After killing two monsters and absorbing two clusters of mysterious fluorescence, the Heart Sword seemed to have undergone some unknown changes. It was not out of danger before, and time was urgent, so he had not had time to examine and study it carefully, but now he can understand it.

The blade came out of the body, and the blade surface was as clean as a mirror. However, there was a dark red mark about two to three centimeters long and wide in the front and middle of the blade, as if blood had soaked into the steel.

"At that time, the green fluorescence entered my body and almost caused me to die. I spit out a lot of blood, which seemed to be sprayed on the dark red spots on the blade."

"In other words, what is soaked into the blade is my own blood?"

Zhang Chengguang carefully recalled all the previous details.

He sat down cross-legged, with a calm mind, placed the mind-care knife flat on his legs, and concentrated on sensing it.

It didn't take long before he seemed to... really have some kind of vague connection with the caressing knife.

It's just that this connection is too subtle. If his meditation skills hadn't improved recently, it would be difficult for an ordinary person to truly sense it.

No, that's not the case!
  It's not the Zhaoshin knife. To be precise, what seems to be connected with him is the small dark red mark on the Zhaoshin knife!
  It was an indescribable, strange feeling.

"It seems...my blood is really soaked into the blade, but let's not talk about the principle...what's the use of it?"

Zhang Chengguang was a little confused.

He didn't feel any improvement in his physical fitness, and the strange sense of connection in that small area was not enough to improve his control over the weapon.

"If we continue to kill monsters and absorb that green fluorescence, will the blood spots continue to expand? Maybe after the blood spots expand to a certain extent, there will be a different reaction?"

"what?"

While Zhang Chengguang was thinking, he suddenly noticed some unusual changes on the blade from the corner of his eye.

In the previous battle, due to his strong slashes and collisions several times, the blade of the Zhaoshin Sword had several small gaps, which made him feel very distressed at the time.

However, now he discovered that the gaps on the blade were actually in the areas covered by blood spots. Some black and red amber-like clean substances filled the gaps almost perfectly!

"Wait! I remember clearly before. When I found this blood spot, it didn't seem to be at the gap of the blade. There was still a distance between the two. Its position has moved?!"
