"No, Xiaokong... is just an ordinary person." Miss Kashiwagi shook her head, then walked to the table, picked up a small snack and handed it to the little mummy, and then continued:
"Those skeleton warriors were actually all summoned by Xiao Yi. In your words, it is probably the savior."
"Wait a minute! You mean to say that this little guy didn't appear after the apocalypse, but existed before the apocalypse?"
Lin Moze immediately grasped the key point of the other party's words.
"Yes, actually, before the end of the world, there were already a small number of supernatural phenomena and species in this world. However, because they were too rare and their impact was very small, they were not known to the world at all."
As Ms. Kashiwagi was speaking, the young man with orange-red hair on the bed slowly opened his eyes.
He first looked at Lin Moze and Kato Hui, then turned his gaze to Miss Kashiwagi:
"You're here, Sister Feng, who are these two?"
"This is Mr. Lin, the leader of another gathering place. Lin Chuan and Tuo Tian had a conflict with Mr. Lin, and now they have been...defeated."
Miss Kashiwagi tactfully beautified what Lin Moze had done, and introduced him to Lin Moze: "This is my brother's child, Kashiwagi Sora."
"It's okay. You don't have to cover up for my actions, Ms. Kashiwagi."
Lin Moze took the initiative to speak to the boy named Kashiwagi Sora:
"Kashiwagi-san, I'll call you that for now. This morning, Toda Hideki and his men, as well as the skeleton warriors summoned by Xiao Yi, tried to surround and kill our people, so I brought people here to seek justice and killed them."
Having said this, he deliberately paused and secretly observed the reaction of the boy opposite him.
When the other party heard about the death of Lin Chuan Boshi and others, he was obviously surprised and showed a sad look, but did not show any other expression.
This is a good start.
If the other party started angrily asking him why he wanted to kill people, even if he wanted to join the gathering place, Lin Moze would never agree.
A saintly lady can be a teammate, but a saintly bitch definitely cannot!
Fortunately, the young man was a sensible person, allowing the conversation between the two to continue.
So, he continued to say to the other party:
"I'm here to seek justice. They wanted to kill me, but then they killed me instead. There's nothing to say about that. But you're different. There's no direct hostility between us. Now other survivors are willing to join my gathering place, so I hope to invite you."
Kashiwagi Sora listened to him quietly, thought for a moment, and then asked:
"If we join your gathering place, will you force Xiao Yi to fight?"
"I don't like to force things, but in the gathering place, everyone must make their own contribution. Xiao Yi can create skeleton warriors and let others command them."
Lin Moze replied: "If I'm not mistaken, you guys are also adopting this kind of cooperation model here, right?"
I don't like forcing others to do so, which is naturally just a nice phrase used to establish his character. The main reason is that Lin Moze didn't want to put the command of the skeleton warriors in the hands of a cute palm-sized creature.
"You are right. This is the approach we take in this gathering place."
The young man nodded and said, "Besides that, I have another request. I hope your gathering place can always guarantee Sister Feng's safety, even if one day I am gone."
"Xiaokong!" Miss Kashiwagi became a little anxious when she heard his words.
"Why do you say that? Do you have an incurable disease?" Lin Moze asked.
He had previously thought that the other party was so weak because he was injured, but he didn't expect it to be so serious that the other party even prepared his last words.
"It's poison. We encountered a strange-looking bee monster before, and Xiaokong was stung because he tried to save me." Miss Kashiwagi explained.
"Is that so?" Lin Moze nodded and raised his hand towards the two people opposite him, and ripples of light flashed:
"If you don't mind, I actually know a little bit about medicine."
073 Not finishing off the enemy is too ridiculous
The treatment process ended quickly. Under the impact of the ripple force, the toxins in Kashiwagi Kong's body quickly disappeared, and he recovered from a sickly boy to a vigorous young man.
His situation is somewhat similar to that of Miku, both of them suffered from strong toxins injected by monsters.
It’s just that Miku has spiritual power to protect his body, and the toxins in his body are suppressed by another force to a relatively less lethal range.
Lin Moze was quite suspicious that it was Xiao Yi who was protecting him. After all, it was not surprising that a profession like the Necromancer could control the plague toxin to a certain extent.
Unfortunately, although this little guy is quite smart, he is only a cute creature. It is not realistic to have a detailed understanding of his abilities.
But this is not bad. Just the dozens of skeleton warriors it can currently summon are a very powerful force.
It doesn't need to rest, is tireless, and can understand simple commands. It is simply the best hard-working machine.
As for its trusted owner, Kashiwagi Kong, after accepting Lin Moze's life-saving grace, he joined his gathering without any hesitation.
At the same time, the three people outside had completed the inventory of survivors and supplies.
As a gathering place with hundreds of people, it is definitely unrealistic to migrate all of them to the Lion King Center Building at once. Without vehicle transportation, the slow migration speed will easily lead to being surrounded by large numbers of monsters.
So these people need to be transported away in batches little by little.
Returning to the place where the battle took place before the factory, two large pits had been dug on the lawn, and the bodies of Hiroshi Hayashikawa and Hideki Doda were placed inside.
This was something Lin Moze had casually arranged before, but he didn't expect them to act so quickly.
After taking a look at the two bodies of Lin Chuanboshi placed together, Lin Moze's mouth curled up into an inexplicable smile, and then said to several members of the exploration team next to him:
"Refill the soil. Even though they were enemies before, we shouldn't leave their bodies exposed in the wilderness after they die."
Several team members nodded quickly and began to fill the soil with shovels.
After dealing with all these trivial matters, the sun was about to set.
All members of the exploration team got back into the vehicles, and several trucks drove back to the Lion King Center Building.
Lin Moze did not leave anyone to watch over the situation. The number of personnel and supplies had been counted. For the sake of their own future, those fighters who surrendered first would work harder than anyone else to ensure that the survivors and supplies would not be lost.
As night fell, the remaining survivors in the factory gathering area returned to their houses and began to prepare for the relocation work in the next few days.
Since almost all of the original patrol and guard personnel were injured, they were also arranged to rest and recuperate.
For a moment, apart from the skeleton warriors on guard at the outermost part of the factory, there was no other movement around.
Until a certain moment——
Puff! The soil suddenly surged like waves, and a palm was the first to break out of the soil.
The five broken fingers were deeply embedded in the soil, the fingertips were trembling slightly due to the huge force, and traces of blood oozed from the edges of the nails.
Immediately afterwards, a head squeezed out from the ground with difficulty, its face covered with mud and gravel, and it breathed heavily with its mouth open.
The person who crawled out from the soil at this moment was none other than Lin Chuan Boshi who had been buried before.
The reason why he was able to come back to life was entirely due to the abilities he extracted.
The power that Hiroshi Hayashikawa drew from the novice gift pack is called "X Gene - Survival of the Fittest".
Its specific ability is to allow the body to automatically mutate and adapt according to the external environment.
Just like when he was besieged before, his body became close to stone, and when he was hit hard, it turned into a material close to rubber.
However, his adaptability has its limits. The more extreme the situation, the longer it takes him to adapt.
If you can't adapt, then of course the game is over.
For example, he had just managed to adapt to Lin Moze's high-temperature attack, but was caught off guard and slashed, falling into a near-death state on the spot.
If someone hadn't simply spliced his two halves of body together and buried them, it would have been difficult for him to come back to life.
After gasping for breath for a while, Lin Chuanbosi exerted force with his arms, and his chest broke through the blockade of the soil, revealing his rough skin that was like a tree branch.
The power of survival of the fittest allowed his body to change into a state close to that of a plant, absorbing nutrients from the surrounding soil while reconnecting his disconnected body.
Even so, he now felt extremely weak.
After his upper body broke through the soil, he relaxed for a long time, and finally used his hands and feet at the same time to free his lower body and boots from the shackles of the soil.
After being reborn, he looked into the distance, his eyes burning with resentment and rage for revenge, and his five fingers clenched into fists.
However, at this moment, a slightly teasing voice sounded from behind him:
"Oh, congratulations! I didn't expect you to win the resurrection match. How is it? There are a lot of competitors now, right?"
The familiar voice made Lin Chuanbo's whole body stiffen instantly. His neck was like a rusty gear, slowly turning backwards.
What he saw was a face that was like a nightmare to him at that moment.
Lin Moze! This guy who should have left had returned here at some point, specifically to wait for him.
"Didn't you already leave? Why did you come back?"
His voice was dry, full of reluctance and confusion.
He had barely managed to escape death by beheading, which was like struggling back from the gates of hell, but was blocked at the last moment before being reborn. Anyone would have collapsed under such circumstances.
"Why did you come back? Of course, to finish off the enemy."
With no one around, Lin Moze took off his glorious cloak and his smile became sarcastic.
"After finally killing the boss, he forgot to finish him off and insisted on leaving a disaster for himself, creating a hidden enemy to cause trouble for his future self. How stupid do you think someone must be to let such a stupid plot happen to him?"
"I......"
On the surface, Hayashikawa Hiroshi pretended to be speechless, but secretly he tried his best to promote his special ability and try to recover his strength.
However, Lin Moze's next words made his pupils suddenly shrink into a point.
"Of course, the more important thing is your ability, X gene or something, I am very interested in it."
"!!!"
After listening to the other party fully describe his abilities, even saying the name of the X gene, Hayashi Chuanbo could no longer control the surprised expression on his face.
"Why, how do you know..."
Before he could finish his question, the sharp claws pierced his chest again.
Lin Moze lifted him up from the ground. At this moment, many root-like structures had grown on the soles of his feet and calves, penetrating deeply into the soil.
"Survival of the fittest is a great power. Thank you for your gift."
Lin Moze sighed, a sincere smile on his face, while countless blood vessel tentacles rushed out from his arms.
Hiroshi Hayashikawa struggled, trying desperately to change his form.
But his body was too weak at the moment. The resurrection from the dead had exhausted everything he had, and the effect of his core ability had become minimal.
The moment before he lost consciousness, a sudden flash of enlightenment came to his mind.
This guy in front of me is not here for revenge at all!
He just came here to complete a hunt.
My mistake was not to allow Hideki Toda to act recklessly.
He was simply...too close to a predator.
074 Extraordinary Selection
Walking slowly on the way back to the Lion King Center Building, Lin Moze began to really sort out today's gains.
Needless to say, the biggest benefit is the X gene that Lin Chuanbo possesses.
After successfully absorbing it, Lin Mo gained the ability of "survival of the fittest".
In Lin Moze's memory, this ability comes from a character named Darwin in the "X-Men" series.
The abilities of this character in the comics are actually quite abnormal. He can quickly evolve into various special physical states during battle, and can even transform into an energy-based life form.
But unfortunately, the X-gene that Hayashikawa Hiroshi possesses is the movie version. The abilities of the two are actually similar, but the adaptability to extreme situations is much inferior.
In other words, the more extreme the situation, the longer it would take for Lin Chuan Boshi to adapt. It would be easy for him to be killed before he could adapt, just like in this battle.
But this is not a problem for Lin Moze.
He possesses immortality, and what he values is not the combat effectiveness that this superpower can bring, but the word "adaptability" itself.
The end of the world is coming, and there are too many strange and fancy abilities in fantasy works. Many abilities that he has seen, has not seen, has thought of, and has not thought of will appear in the future.
There are too many different kinds of powers, including magic, witchcraft, curses, Taoism, Yin-Yang magic, alchemy, ninjutsu, devil fruits, etc.
Seal, control, exile, erase... Lin Moze could think of many ways to bring himself into disaster.
The ability of "survival of the fittest" gives him the confidence to deal with any situation, which is the most important thing.
In addition, the guy who shot the gun in a flashy way brought him a special structure of the human hormone secretion organ.
This organ structure is the cause of "hyper-intelligence syndrome".
