Chapter 123 123. Stand and Stare
This is really bad news.
Xu Zhi had not thought that there were beings at a higher level than her among the alien species before. After all, according to previous federal news, although the new alien species were far more powerful than humans, they could still only be regarded as "newborns". Need to eat to obtain energy and grow.
These aliens from Cloud City have been going to the city center since they were born. Xu Zhi saw them in their spiritual bodies several times, but they did not fight each other, but stayed quietly in the city center. They did not seem to be very aggressive. , even with the black mist, the growth rate cannot be so fast that a [Archbishop]-level existence will appear directly.
But now this scene made Xu Zhi have some bad thoughts in his mind.
However, no matter what, she had already come this far and there was no way she would back down just because of a conjecture.
And the consoles didn't stop her.
This is the key to Xu Zhi's courage to move forward.
It just so happened that there was a mutant here, and Xu Zhi planned to test how concealable the cloak was.
So she deliberately walked in the direction of the alien species, but she didn't make too much noise and controlled her steps very slightly. Under the influence of the cloak, she even got close to the alien species quietly.
The eating alien ignored Xu Zhi's existence. It was not concentrating on eating, and would even look around from time to time as if to be alert. However, Xu Zhi walked behind it, but was not discovered.
In its eyes, Xu Zhi was just a thicker black mist.
This is all too common in city centres.
Xu Zhi sighed in his heart that the effect was really good, which was a bit exaggerated.
Of course, she also understands that today's city center is the most suitable environment for this [Ghost Cloak] to be used. Heavy fog and darkness are a perfect fit.
After confirming the effect, Xu Zhi stopped lingering and walked towards the city center.
As she crossed the bridge and entered the city center, the buildings suddenly became luxurious and crowded.
This was the busiest place in Yuncheng in the past, but now it has become the quietest place.
Since crossing the bridge, there have been more aliens around, gathering together in twos and threes, standing silently by the street, like statues, but their eyes are looking in a certain direction.
That's a more central place.
There are also a large number of alien bones left in a mess on the ground. It seems that these aliens would rather eat the same kind that the federal aliens don't eat, than leave here to hunt humans who are more delicious to them.
This solemn atmosphere made the hairs on the back of Xu Zhi's hands stand up slightly. She didn't understand why these alien species could be so quiet and silent, but she could see that their "hearts" were not silent, quite the opposite.
They are eager to try, even impatient. Their covetousness and desire, eagerness and violence are completely exposed from those pairs of scarlet eyes.
Xu Zhi believed that if what they were waiting for appeared next second, then the entire city center would riot the next second.
Even if there is no need for that thing to appear, even if only a human appears here, the aliens who see the delicious food will immediately snatch it and tear it into pieces, just like what happened to her spiritual body. After all, it's almost equal to the rain coming out of a long drought.
The quiet appearance of these alien species also shows that unless they are really hungry, they are not very aggressive towards the same kind. After all, even if there are treasures that need to be guarded at all times, but if they are really very aggressive, at present It's a fairly spacious place, so why stand so close to others of the same kind?
What's more, along the way, the closer to the city center, the more alien species there are, but there are still not many cases of cannibalism, and they almost don't fight. When Xu Zhi observed carefully, he found that some alien species would go to the obvious ones when they were hungry. The purpose of weakening it by a large margin is to quickly solve physiological needs.
Otherwise, they remain almost motionless, looking in one direction.
So what is it about the treasure that makes the aliens willing to endure hunger and eat the corpses of their own kind but never leave the treasure to guard it?
However, as she walked toward the center, Xu Zhi's field of vision became narrower and narrower. The thick fog around her even condensed into chilly vapor, and she could feel her hair getting slightly wet.
Xu Zhi found a corner where there were no aliens and turned on the game console to take a look at Xiao Zhen's condition. Sure enough, its vision also became narrow.
Seeing this, Xu Zhi had to give up the idea of letting Xiao Zhen accompany him, and gave it an order through the game console to let it wait for him outside.
Now, the only aliens she carries are the black cat that has been turning into smoke and walking through the fog, as well as the small one on her wrist and the small alien in her pocket.
Since entering the city center, the little alien no longer stayed calmly in his pocket, but was twisting around a little restlessly, as if he wanted to come out, but was suppressed by Xu Zhi's slap on the forehead.
Today's little alien species is more obedient and more self-controlled than before, and it is still ready to make moves. If it had been before, I am afraid that it would have been disobedient and ran out.
Since entering the city center, her midnight after-effects have almost dissipated. Now, even though she is in a thick fog, Xu Zhi's brain is as clear as it has been for a long time.
This made her feel good, but the closer she got inside, the more alien species there were. Now, she had to carefully walk through the cracks.
Moreover, judging from the size and appearance of these alien species, it seems that the closer to the center, the more powerful the alien species are.
They occupied a position closer to "that thing" by virtue of their strength, probably to facilitate the first fight.
But those alien species on the periphery that are not strong enough are not willing to leave. They are still eager to get a share of the pie, and they are eager for those powerful alien species to kill each other. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they are unwilling to leave.
It was strange that the closer he got to the center, the more the mist condensed into substance, and Xu Zhi felt that he was getting better and better.
Yes, not only has her mind become clearer, but she also feels that she is in "a better state" than ever before.
She took a deep breath, and the air she inhaled was a little thick. She knew that it was black mist that had condensed into substance and was inhaled into her body.
But that's not important. What's important is that
she finally felt a slight increase in extraordinary energy!
It has never been seen before, and every extraordinary person will experience it, the extraordinary energy that naturally grows from the fog!
Now, in the city center where the black mist had condensed into substance and could not be more dense, she finally felt the slightest trace of it.
It was as if her body had a natural barrier. The barrier prevented the energy in the black mist from entering her body. But now, the too-rich energy finally squeezed in through the barrier.
