Chapter 23 An extremely terrifying mutant creature

The calico cat was very cautious. It used the shadows of the ruins as cover, with its ears erect and its nose twitching, catching any unusual scent in the air.

It found several mutant rats searching for food in the garbage dump.

It is small in size and not very threatening.

The calico cat instinctively lowered its body and let out a threatening growl from its throat, but under Bai Li's command, it did not attack rashly, but just avoided it from a distance.

It found a half-collapsed newsstand,

There were some crushed beverage bottles scattered inside, but unfortunately they were all empty.

It carefully crawled into a dusty display window where a bakery used to be, but now only moldy bread crumbs and broken glass counters remained.

Bai Li watched all this from the perspective of a calico cat, while accurately sensing the strength of the spiritual connection.

As the calico cat walked further and further away,

The feeling of control that was as easy as moving one's own arm began to show a slight sense of stagnation, as if the signal was weakening.

There seemed to be a subtle stiffness in the calico cat's movements. It would occasionally stop and shake its head in confusion, as if resisting some invisible restraint.

Bai Li's heart trembled.

Is this the limit?

She concentrated her mind and tried hard to maintain the stability of the connection.

At the same time, the link conveys comfort and firm thoughts to the calico cat.

"Keep going and stay alert."

The calico cat stopped shaking its head, the confusion in its eyes disappeared, and it became determined again.

Continue to explore further.

Bai Li silently calculated the distance, about three hundred meters?

This is the current limit of her mental control distance.

Beyond this distance, control will drop sharply and may even fail!

Just as the calico cat was about to reach the critical point of 300 meters, it passed through a ruin covered by a huge billboard, and a relatively open intersection appeared in front of it.

In the middle of the intersection,

Several zombies with stiff movements and festering skin were wandering aimlessly.

The calico cat instinctively lowered its body and prepared to go around.

Just then!

Something strange happened suddenly!

A gray-black figure, moving at an extremely fast speed, suddenly shot out from the broken window on the third floor of a half-collapsed commercial building near the intersection!

The speed was so fast that Bai Li could only catch a blurry afterimage through the perspective of the calico cat!

The next moment!

Phew!

A slight sound that made one's scalp tingle was heard in the middle of the intersection.

A zombie is slowly turning around, its head and half of its shoulder.

Disappeared in an instant, not shattered!

Instead, it was like being cut and peeled off instantly by the sharpest blade!

The dirty, sticky blood and broken tissue shot up into the sky like a fountain.

The headless corpse shook and fell to the ground with a bang!

The gray-black figure, at the moment of tearing the zombie apart, used the recoil force to move in a manner that violated the laws of physics.

Like a gecko, it clings lightly to the vertical wall of a nearby building.

Until this moment,

Bai Li could barely see the outline of the terrifying existence through the calico cat's pupils, which were dilated due to extreme fear.

It was an indescribable creature!

It has a slender body, about two meters long.

Covered with a gray-black chitinous shell that is as cold and smooth as metal, but with a biological feel!

The limbs are on the ground with four bent joints, and at the end are sickle-sharp claws that flash with a cold light!

A slender tail with a sharp bone spike at the end swings slowly behind it to maintain balance.

The most frightening thing is its head.

Narrow and long, without distinct facial features,

In the position of the originally seemingly smooth mouth, a second inner jaw can be ejected instantly, like a mouth within a mouth, and it is extremely hard and can penetrate the zombie in an instant.

It has no eyes, or rather, its entire head seems to be a piece of cold obsidian used for sensing and hunting!

The remaining zombies seemed to feel the deadly threat.

He let out a terrified howl and instinctively wanted to escape.

But the gray shadow moved again!

It did not leave the wall, but just kicked its curved hind legs against the vertical wall.

The body is like an arrow shot from a bow,

Puff! Puff!

Two cold lights flashed!

Two zombies trying to escape,

As if cut in half by an invisible blade,

The upper body and lower body separated instantly.

Dirty blood and internal organs were sprayed all over the ground!

The last zombie just turned around,

The gray shadow appeared behind it like a ghost, and the tail with bone spurs shot out like lightning!

puff!

Accurately pierced the back of the zombie's head!

The whole process,

From the first zombie being killed instantly to the last one being shot in the head,

No more than three seconds!

Clean! Neat! Efficient!

It's like the Grim Reaper harvesting straw!

The calico cat's body was shaking violently at the other end of the mental link.

It instinctively wanted to scream and run away with its fur standing on end!

Bai Li's spiritual connection also suffered an unprecedented impact!

The terrifying murderous intent and cold aura emitted by the gray shadow seemed to flow upstream along the spiritual thread.

It made her feel a shudder deep in her soul!

She forced herself to suppress the fear in her heart.

"Don't move! Hold your breath! Hide!"

At the same time, she herself was holding her breath in the basement, her heart pounding!

After killing all the zombies, the gray shadow did not leave immediately.

Its head without facial features turned slightly, as if it was sensing something.

The calico cat's body stiffened instantly.

Bai Li felt that his spiritual connection was about to be crushed by the invisible pressure.

Fortunately!

The gray shadow didn't seem to notice the calico cat that was deliberately concealing its breath and hiding deep in the shadows.

It just stayed for a few seconds.

Then, the recurved limbs exerted force on the wall again and re-entered the building with the broken window.

It seems that he regards this place as his base camp.

Until the suffocating horror completely disappeared,

Bai Li finally let out a long, surviving breath.

My back was soaked with cold sweat.

It's so scary, what kind of monster is that?

The speed, strength, and killing efficiency were completely beyond her understanding!

In front of it, the Rat King is as docile as a domestic hamster!

The calico cat felt a strong, almost devastating fear.

Bai Li immediately sent a strong soothing thought through the spiritual connection:

"It's safe, come back! Come back soon!"

The calico cat then scurried out from its hiding place like a frightened bird.

He ran towards the basement desperately.

Bai Li regained his composure, but his heart was still beating wildly in his chest.

After the fear,

An irrepressible and even more intense flame burned fiercely in her heart!

Crystal core!

How powerful and pure must the crystal core of such a terrifying monster be?

If I could hunt it down and get its crystal core,

After absorbing it, what kind of terrifying power and ability will one gain?

Mind control? Terminal speed?

Or is it the terrifying cutting power that ignores defense?
