Chapter 224 243. Bloody Street
She currently does not have enough extraordinary energy to create a clone, but recording does not require too much extraordinary energy. Xu Zhi tried to leave a record of her current location.
A hint of light golden light emerged from under her feet, as if a complex and ingenious circuit was imprinted on the ground.
Afterwards, an inconspicuous golden dot suddenly appeared in her extraordinary circuit. When Xu Zhi "touched" it, he could immediately sense which location it was recorded.
However, there is a disadvantage. Although recording only requires a small amount of extraordinary energy, it must be at the person's current location, and after using it once, the record point needs to be "refreshed", otherwise the old record point will disappear.
The good news is that there is a limit on the number of record points, but although her extraordinary energy is small, her extraordinary level is not low. At present, this quota probably cannot be used up for the time being.
Xu Zhi couldn't wait to wait until he had enough extraordinary energy to experiment and see how his new spiritual body was different from the previous one. Unfortunately, judging from the current progress of the circuit recovery, it would take some time for the extraordinary energy to grow into his body enough to store a layer of spiritual body.
Xu Zhi waited quietly for several days, until the ninth day, when the fog covering the bottom layer finally dissipated.
For Xu Zhi, the first "fog" after arriving in the new world was a safe and pleasant surprise.
Although he was curious about the fog, now was not the time to explore it, so Xu Zhi did not do anything unnecessary.
However, when the broadcast sounded to inform the citizens that the fog had dissipated, and everyone cheered and opened the door to see the street outside, the originally joyful atmosphere froze in an instant.
——Large amounts of blood were scattered on the ground, followed by scattered human limbs. Some seemed to have been dead for a week, while others seemed to have been dead for only a day or two.
The scavengers are not afraid of corpses, but such a horrifying scene happening on the street outside their homes is really chilling.
Qi Yanxin saw this scene the moment she opened the door. She immediately raised her hand to cover her mouth. It was not because she was afraid that she would scream, as no scavenger would have such a weak psychological endurance. Instead, she was afraid that she would retch because of the strong smell of blood in the air and be heard by Xu Zhi.
She didn't want Xu Zhi to see this scene on the street.
What should have been the busiest day of celebration in the slums seemed particularly solemn in the morning.
The doors and windows of all sizes in the crowded bungalows were opened, and everyone stared at the bloody street with different expressions, looking around to see which doors and windows were not opened, guessing that most of the people living there were dead.
Actually, this is nothing. There are always people coming and going in the slums. From time to time, some people disappear and some new scavengers move in, but this is the first time I have encountered such a situation.
".What's going on?"
"Did a monster appear in the fog?"
"How is that possible? There has never been a monster in the fog in all these years! Someone must be pretending to be a monster!"
"That wound doesn't look like it was done by a monster. It looks more like it was cut by a knife."
".It really is."
Amidst the whispering voices and the fearful expressions on people's faces, a black shadow appeared in almost everyone's mind. He was holding a knife, walking in the night and fog, quietly sneaking into the houses of those who had not closed their doors and windows, brutally killing them, and then dragging them to the street to dismember their bodies. He dragged them along, staining the long and narrow street with blood.
"what to do?"
"What can I do? I can only be careful!"
There are no guards in the slums!
"What about other places? Is it like this too?"
Someone asked this, and everyone looked at each other, and then someone quickly responded, "Didn't you hear any noise anywhere else?"
"If they were alright, wouldn't they have been celebrating?"
Every time after safely surviving the foggy season, the slum scavengers would celebrate their "survival" on this day. This was one of the few happy moments in their dark days.
But this morning, not only this street, but the entire slum was silent.
Everyone seemed to be stunned by something.
Such a vicious incident occurred, but no one wanted to "seek help from the government."
Order and law are things that only the upper class has. In the marginal areas like the bottom, everyone gets along with each other based on a tacit understanding, or whoever holds power and strength will have their words more effective.
As for maintaining law and order?
That kind of thing doesn't exist.
There hadn't been any monsters in the fog for decades, and the wounds were clearly caused by a knife, so everyone almost assumed it was probably done by a mad guy who went out during the foggy season.
Xu Zhi noticed why Qi Yanxin suddenly became silent after opening the door, and most importantly, she smelled blood.
This is almost her least favorite taste now.
Because it would immediately remind her of that big guy and the black sun that was almost made of blood.
Something seems to have happened
The moment this thought came to his mind, Xu Zhi steered his wheelchair towards the door.
When Qi Yanxin heard the noise, she turned around and found that it was Xu Zhi coming. She took a step back and tried to close the door, not wanting Xu Zhi to see the bloody scene on the street. However, in Xu Zhi's disapproving eyes, she paused slightly in closing the door.
"Xiaozhi, it doesn't look good outside," Qi Yanxin explained awkwardly.
"I know. Something's happened? I smell blood."
Seeing that the woman didn't want her to see it, Xu Zhi said helplessly: "I'm not a child anymore. I won't be scared."
Too.
Qi Yanxin then realized that Xu Zhi was an extraordinary person, and she could not always treat her as a fragile glass doll as before.
With the added bonus of being a "superhuman", Xu Zhi's words really became effective. Qi Yanxin hesitated for only a moment before stepping aside.
Controlling the wheelchair to the door, when Xu Zhi saw the scene on the street, he almost instantly felt a sense of familiarity.
The subtle feeling brought by the scene before my eyes is very, very similar to the [Cup].
To put it simply, it seems like something a madman with the [Cup] attribute would do.
Xu Zhi's expression remained unchanged as she carefully observed the bloodstains and body parts on the street, trying to find some evidence that could prove that her feeling was not an illusion and that this place was indeed caused by a transcendent being with the [Cup] attribute.
She didn't care that her overly calm behavior when seeing the horrifying scene in front of her would cause Qi Yanxin's concern. Or rather, she deliberately did not pretend to be afraid or uncomfortable and chose to show her truer side.
