Chapter 86: The opponent’s strength remains a mystery until now.
Wu Yan heard the noise of fierce fighting on the north side and rushed over here with Lin Ke to see if he could help in any way.
Unexpectedly, the other party was already finished. He looked at the corpse of the Altered Thing lying on the ground in surprise and said, "Why is it so big?"
A normal C-class mutant is about the height of a person, which is about one size larger than a person, and will vary depending on the size of the animal before the mutation.
Class B mutants are a bit larger, but the difference is not that big.
But the one in front of me feels more than two or three times bigger. Even though it is now a fallen corpse, it still makes people feel very pressured when facing it.
It's hard to imagine what would happen if such a huge monster broke into the village...
Wu Li felt a surge of fear in his heart.
Jiang Jie looked at their terrified expressions and said kindly, "This is a Class A mutant."
"What?" Wu Yan turned to look at him, and then muttered: "Level A..."
They're still struggling to deal with B-level mutants, and these monsters have evolved again...
"You should be thankful that it has been in the evolutionary stage all along, so it has been dormant underground." Jiang Jie raised his eyebrows. It was also unlucky that it fell into his hands just after evolving.
When Wu Li and the other two heard his words, they couldn't help but feel scared again, and cold sweat broke out on their backs. They couldn't help but feel lucky that Jiang Jie was here, otherwise they might all be doomed.
"Thank you so much Jiang..."
"Don't tell me that kind of nonsense," Jiang Jie said, shaking his finger impatiently before he could finish his words. "I don't want to listen."
Wu Yan swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He turned around and looked at the corpse of the Altered Species again. After feeling relieved, he couldn't help but feel worried. "Are there other A-level Altered Species nearby..."
If they break into the north side, even if Jiang Jie is willing to help them, there may be casualties.
Jiang Yan glanced at him without saying anything. He knew in his heart that there would not be any for the time being.
One reason is that Class A aliens are not "mass-produced" aliens and will not appear so frequently. The other reason is that Class A aliens have begun to develop a sense of territory. They can allow some low-level "little brothers" around them, but will not allow opponents of the same level.
Therefore, there will only be one A-level monster within a certain range. If two appear, they will fight among themselves without human intervention, and the one who survives will be the boss of this territory.
Now that this one is dead, a second one won't appear in the short term, but there's no guarantee that a second one won't evolve later.
Jiang Jie had no intention of mentioning these things to the two outsiders. He raised his chin towards the corpse of the Altered Thing and said matter-of-factly, "Remember to clean it up."
Since they are here, they can be free labor.
He walked away in a cool manner, leaving Wu Li and the other man facing a corpse, their hearts still restless for a while.
"Ake, after winter is over, let's take everyone to find a safe area to live." This is what Wu Li has been thinking about. He feels that it is becoming more and more dangerous outside.
Although the safe zone is somewhat restrictive, at least there is a certain degree of security, and it is more suitable for survival for other ordinary people in the village.
"We all listen to Brother Li." Lin Ke raised his hand and patted his shoulder.
The other person is older than him. When he was a child, he loved to follow the other person and play with him. Now he is naturally willing to listen to him.
After hearing this, Wu Yan felt a little relieved. Things were not that bad. At least they still had companions by their side.

Lin Mian, who stayed in the house, had been paying attention to the movements in the distance. During several loud noises, he could even feel a slight tremor under his feet. From this, he knew how powerful the alien creature was.
Although he knew that Jiang Jie was equally powerful, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. After the noise stopped, he put on his coat and went out.
The temperature outside was very low. He shivered with cold after suddenly coming out of the warm room. He pulled up his hat and put it on his head. The fluffy fur edge half covered his face.
When Jiang Yan came back, he immediately saw a furry little rabbit waiting for him at the gate of the yard. It was obviously afraid of the cold and was curled up into a ball.
When he looked around, Lin Mian also saw him. Seeing that he was fine, he finally felt relieved, "Brother Jie!"
Jiang Yan walked up to him under his excited gaze and reached out to touch his face, which was cold.
"You're hurt." As soon as he got close to Lin Mian, he noticed the scars on his face. He touched them lightly with his fingers. It didn't look serious, just a little scrape. "Does it hurt?"
This little injury seemed nothing to Jiang Jie, but looking at the other person's eyes, he still said, "A little."
Lin Mian frowned slightly. The wounds caused by mutants were different from ordinary ones. They contained toxins. Although people with special abilities were not afraid, it was better to be careful. "Let's go in and apply some medicine."
Jiang Yan was held by his hand and taken back to the house. As soon as he came in, he smelled the aroma of sauerkraut and mutton.
Entering the warm space, Lin Mian breathed a sigh of relief. He took off his coat, took out the medicine box from the space, and took out the disinfectant.
Jiang Jie sat down on the chair next to him to make it easier for him to move.
Lin Mian used a cotton swab to apply medicine to him, and asked, "Brother Jian, is that mutant very powerful?"
The other party took a while to be gone, and the fighting sounded very intense.
Jiang Jie looked up at him and said, "It's A-level."
Lin Mian paused, and those things actually evolved again.
Jiang Jie took the crystal out of his pocket and played with it between his fingertips. "After absorbing this crystal, your space should be able to expand a lot more."
Lin Mian put down the potion and cotton swab, took the crystal and looked at it, then raised his eyes and said, "A-level crystal, can't you use it, brother?"
The opponent's strength is still a mystery to him. He only knows that the opponent is very strong and never absorbs crystals.
The previous ones might have been too low in level, but are these crystals that can make him feel full of energy just by holding them useless to him?
"I can't say it's completely useless," Jiang Yan raised his hand and grasped his waist, pulling him closer, "but it's certainly not very effective. It would be a waste for me to use it, so it's more cost-effective to give it to you."
Lin Mian lowered his head and looked at him for a few seconds, then didn't ask any more questions and put the crystal away for the time being. "Okay then."
He reached into the medicine box and pulled out a band-aid. He unwrapped it and put it on the man's cheek, then gently touched it. "Can you still eat mutton if you're injured?"
Jiang Yan chuckled when he heard this, "This little wound is nothing."
Lin Mian thought so too. There was no spicy seasoning in the stewed lamb, so it shouldn't have any impact.
He pushed the man's shoulders and backed away from his embrace, "Then I'll go fry the bacon, and we can have dinner."
When he was about to leave, he reached out and pulled Jiang Yan up, "You have to help me wash the things."
He is now a human faucet.
Jiang Yan was pulled into the kitchen with a smile.
In cold weather, eating mutton hotpot in a warm room is a very happy thing. After eating it, the whole body will be warm and you will no longer feel cold.
Lin Mian touched his cheek with the back of his hand. It was hot and he felt a little drunk.
Seeing him looking a little tipsy, Jiang Yan also smiled and couldn't help but think of the drunk rabbit last time. He was thinking about when to make him drunk again. A rabbit after drinking is much more honest than when it is sober.
Lin Mian had no idea what bad idea he was thinking. After eating and drinking, he stretched and cleared the dishes on the table.
Jiang Jie joined him and said, "You absorb the crystals later, and I'll watch over you."
"Okay." Lin Mian nodded.
He was quite happy when he answered the call, but when he actually sat down on the bed and took out the crystal, he felt a little nervous. He still remembered the feeling when he absorbed the B-level crystal for the first time, which was not a good feeling at first.
Jiang Jie noticed his expression and shook his hand, "I'm here."
The warmth of his hand made Lin Mian feel a little more at ease. He took a shallow breath and closed his eyes. The energy in the crystal was slowly absorbed into his body and mixed with the strange energy.
Feeling his hands begin to tremble slightly and cold sweat appear on his forehead, Jiang Jie knew that the energy in the crystal was beginning to take effect.
He reached out and wiped the other person's forehead without disturbing him any further.
Lin Mian's consciousness was now immersed in those entangled energies and he was unable to distract himself. The pain in his body made him tremble violently.
The sweat on his forehead turned into beads of sweat, which flowed down his cheeks and slid into his collar. His brows were tightly knitted together, his face looked a little bad, and his breathing gradually became rapid.
This is a process of accommodating crystal energy and is also a necessary path for the evolution of superpowers. Jiang Jie can't help much and can only keep an eye on his condition.
Because the energy was more abundant, this process lasted longer than the previous absorption of B-level crystals, and Lin Mian's sweater was almost soaked with sweat.
His hair was stuck to his forehead, and he looked as if he had been fished out of the water.
Finally, as time passed and the energy in the crystal gradually faded, his expression began to relax and his breathing became slower and slower.
Soon, his body tilted limply and fell into the arms of Jiang Ya, who caught him in time.
Jiang Yi embraced him and smoothed his hand away. The crystal that he had previously held in his palm no longer shone brightly, but turned into gray waste stone, inconspicuous. He took it out and threw it aside casually.
He reached out and touched the neck of the person in his arms. It was wet with the sweat left over from just now.
After the last time, he knew that the other party would not wake up for a while and he couldn't let him sleep like this.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jie bent down, picked him up through his legs, and took him to the bathroom.
After helping him wash his body briefly, he casually put one of his own sweaters on him and tucked him into the quilt.
Stroking his hair and looking at his quiet face as if he was sleeping, Jiang Jie lowered his head and kissed him on the forehead.
