Chapter 75: This person is very capable.
Alienated people? Lin Mian looked surprised and confused. What was that, and how did it relate to the Alienated?
Jiang Yan rubbed his cheek with his fingers, and his eyes turned slightly, falling on the tall and strong man who was some distance away from them.
Alienated people, unlike alienated objects, are not the result of natural alienation.
Instead, it swallowed the crystals inside the alienated object, and because of the virus and energy in it, it caused the body to mutate.
Such a person is neither a superpower nor an ordinary person, but he does have the ability to fight against alienated creatures.
However, there are gains as well as losses. After the alienation, certain parts of the body will show certain characteristics of the alienated object. The specific characteristics depend on the type of alienated object the swallowed crystals belong to. At the same time, there will also be some blood-colored lines on the body.
Not only that, the risks involved in successfully alienating are also enormous. Swallowing crystals, which are energy carriers, will put a strain on the body, and there is a 95% chance that the body will explode and die.
Only the remaining 5% can become mutants, possessing powers that ordinary people cannot have, and there is also a 2% chance that they will go berserk and turn into complete monsters.
This set of data was later verified by the official through multiple verifications, and is almost equivalent to the probability of escaping death.
Normally, no one would want to make such an attempt, but there are a very small number of people who are obsessed with becoming stronger in this chaotic world and are unwilling to be ordinary people without the ability to resist, so they gamble on the possibility of survival.
Those who can have such thoughts are most likely very capable people in the past. They cannot accept that they will become ordinary after the end of the world.
Of course, some are forced to do so purely out of survival.
Jiang Jie guessed that this man should belong to the former.
Those who can endure the pain of swallowing crystals are usually mentally strong, especially after surviving.
Personally, he really admires this kind of people. Even if they seem destined to be unremarkable, they will still seek a new way out for themselves, even if the ending is death.
Mutated people are even rarer than people with special abilities. Even in his previous life, Jiang Jie had only seen a few of them.
Because of the alienated characteristics in their bodies, they are rejected by most people, especially ordinary people, because the toxins they carry in their bodies can kill them.
Therefore, most safe zones do not even accept mutants. They become a kind of aliens and can only fight alone or follow a private team of mutants.
So it is a smart move for this person to hide himself. It is better to look strange than to be regarded as a monster.
If Jiang Jie had not known about the existence of mutants in advance, he probably would not have associated the other party in this way, and would not have cared at all.
"What is an alien?" Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time after he finished that sentence, Lin Mian couldn't hold back his curiosity, so he pulled his clothes and asked him.
Jiang Jie lowered his eyes, looking at the other person's eager look, pinching his face, "You can think of it as a mutated human being."
He didn't want to explain in detail, so he just picked out the easiest to understand sentence.
Lin Mian seemed to understand what he heard, so he carefully turned his head to look over there. Unexpectedly, the other party was also looking up, and their eyes met from a distance.
Faintly, as if under the shadow of the hat brim, I could see a hint of red in the man's eyes, like the eyes of an alien creature.
He turned his head with a whoosh.
"Brother Cheng, what's wrong?" Aying, who was squatting next to the man and tearing off food packaging, saw him staring at that side and asked.
Zhao Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly under the brim of his hat, "That boy was looking at me just now..."
"Him?" Ah Ying turned around and looked around. She only saw two people huddled together, talking incoherently. Their voices were too loud to be heard from a distance. "Brother, he's just an ordinary person. He shouldn't be able to find anything."
Zhao Cheng didn't say anything. What he cared about most was not the seemingly harmless boy, but the man who was always hard to figure out.
The way the other person looked at him before really concerned him, as if it could penetrate all his disguises and see his hidden face.
But at the same time, he was very skeptical. Could the other party really be so perceptive? They had only taken a few glances from a distance. Apart from the strange clothes he was wearing, there was nothing different about him that could be noticed.
"Brother Jie," Lin Mian leaned close to Jiang Jie's ear, "I seemed to see his eyes just now..."
He wasn't sure if he had seen it wrong, but if what Jiang Jie said was true, then it shouldn't be wrong.
He felt it was a bit magical. In addition to the alienated creatures, there were also alienated humans. Moreover, how did the other party know about it?
Lin Mian looked at the man in front of him and blinked slowly. There were so many secrets on him that it seemed impossible to uncover them all.
"I'm not a mutant, why are you staring at me like that?" Jiang Yi reached out and tapped his forehead.
It didn't hurt much, but Lin Mian still raised his hand to touch it and said, "I think you are more amazing than the mutants."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan pinched both of his cheeks and shook them gently. Seeing that he frowned in dissatisfaction, he smiled and moved closer to kiss him, but suddenly paused and turned his head to look into the depths of the wilderness.
Lin Mian tilted his head in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Jie retracted his gaze, "There's a rat."
"Huh?" Lin Mian listened carefully. He knew the rat they were talking about wasn't a real rat, but he didn't notice any extraneous movement. "Why didn't I hear anything?"
The B-level mutant of the plant system has a better hiding ability. If it hadn't been unable to restrain itself and moved its roots just now, Jiang Jie would not have noticed it for a while.
It was obvious that it was aware of its own advantages, so it never dared to escape. It knew that if it moved, it would be discovered, so it was better to stay where it was.
It's just that there are more people with special abilities here now, and the attraction of the special ability core to it is too strong, making it difficult to conceal its instinctive desire, so it was exposed, although it quickly restrained itself.
Lin Mian didn't hear anything, but he knew that the other party's perception would not be wrong. "Do you want to go?"
Jiang Jie tapped his fingers and did not move for the time being.
After thinking for a moment, he shifted his gaze to the three people on the other side and suddenly smiled.
He raised his hand and waved it, and the winding stream spread out and went deep into the wilderness.
Almost as soon as he made a move, the three people over there noticed it very keenly and looked over with vigilance.
When they realized that his ability was not directed at them, they looked at each other in confusion.
Before I had time to think about it, there was a sudden movement in the distance, like some large creature struggling.
It's an alien creature!
The three of them stood up at the same time and stared at that direction from afar.
Zhao Cheng quickly realized what was happening and turned to look at the man who was still sitting calmly in the chair.
The other party had already discovered it and the attack just now was aimed at the alien creature, but they had not noticed it at all before.
This person is very capable.
Jiang Yan could feel his gaze, but did not look back. He just beckoned his hand, and the distant water flow came back, pulling a broken plant root.
Only then did he stand up leisurely and turned around and said, "It should be a Class B Altered Item. Everyone, do you want to go take a look?"
Since he said so, they definitely couldn't just sit there and wait for death. They exchanged glances, turned off the fire temporarily, and planned to deal with the potential danger first. It was also a good opportunity to see this man's skills.
The young man named Aying looked at Lin Mian who was following Jiang Yan and kindly reminded him, "It's too dangerous over there. It's better for him to stay here."
"It's not dangerous to stay here alone?" Jiang Yan turned his head and raised his eyebrows. "Don't worry, I can protect him."
My original intention was to satisfy the little rabbit's curiosity and let him see the excitement, so of course I couldn't let him stay here.
After hearing what they said, what else could Ah Ying say? She just smiled and then asked with some confusion, "Strange, this mutant didn't actively attack us just now, why is there no extra movement now?"
Logically speaking, since this person had just pulled out a root, he should have gone crazy by now, but after struggling just now, he has now calmed down again.
Just as he finished speaking, there was a noise from the direction of the alien creature, and at the same time, they felt a slight tremor on the ground.
It is pulling out its own roots.
Several people became alert instantly, ready for the other party to attack at any time.
But soon, they were all stunned, because they found that after the alien creature left the ground, it did not come towards them, but left in the opposite direction.
Is it on the run?
This discovery surprised them. It was the first time they encountered such a situation. How could it be? It couldn't be that they were scared because there were so many of them, right?
Or maybe...
Zhao Cheng's gaze unconsciously shifted to the man again. This man had just made a light move and directly pulled off one of the other person's roots.
How could Jiang Yan, who was being looked at calmly by him, let this alien creature escape? He waved his hand and sent out several streams of water, which flew away quickly.
Quickly, he grabbed the alien creature and pulled it towards them, turning around and shouting, "Quick! I caught it! Get ready!"
Aying looked at her sister and gathered supernatural powers in her hands at the same time.
However, Zhao Cheng took two steps back and seemed to have no intention of taking action.
Jiang Jie raised his lips and smiled, it was not up to him.
Knowing that it might not be able to escape, the alien creature seemed to be angrily whipping the ground with its roots, and then suddenly attacked the human not far away.
But when it got close, it was still a little timid. It avoided the culprit who tied it up and the people he protected behind him, and attacked the other two closest psychics.
The electric fire collided with its branches, barely blocking it, but the body of the B-level mutant was strong and failed to cause any substantial damage.
At the same time, it shook its crown, and pollen from the huge flowers spread towards them.
Jiang Jie guessed that this pollen was probably similar to the attack of the mutant he had encountered before, and had a hallucinogenic effect.
He raised his hand and a water shield covered him and Lin Mian, preventing them from being touched by the spreading pollen.
Ah Ying also swung out a large flame, causing the pollen to scatter around them, "Be careful, don't breathe it in."
Plants have a natural fear of fire. After becoming alienated creatures, this fear turns into disgust, and it impatiently lashes out at this annoying mutant.
"Damn! Targeting me!" Ah Ying narrowly avoided it, but then another thick root fell on his head. He quickly raised his hand and swung out flames.
His sister looked over nervously, but was entangled by other roots and couldn't get away.
"Be careful!" Jiang Yan shouted a warning, as if he wanted to help him. At the same time, he controlled the water flow to pull the alien object, suddenly pulling its main body to the side and falling diagonally.
And Zhao Cheng happened to be standing at that position.
