Chapter 123 123. Standing and Gazing
This is really bad news.
Xu Zhi had not previously believed that there were any alien species that were a higher order than her. After all, according to previous federal news, although the newly born alien species were already far more powerful than humans, they were still only considered "newborns" and they needed to eat to obtain energy and grow.
These alien species in Yuncheng went to the city center after they were born. Xu Zhi saw them several times in his spiritual body and they did not fight each other, but quietly guarded the city center. They did not seem to be very aggressive. Even with the black fog, their growth rate could not be so fast that they could not directly emerge as [Archbishop]-level beings.
But now this scene made Xu Zhi have some bad thoughts in his mind.
But no matter what, having come this far, she couldn't back down just because of a guess.
And the console didn't stop her.
This is the key reason why Xu Zhi dared to move forward.
It just so happens that there is an alien species here, and Xu Zhi plans to test how concealable the cloak is.
So she deliberately walked towards the alien, but she did not make much noise, and her footsteps were very light. Under the influence of the cloak, she even approached the alien silently.
However, this alien species that was eating ignored Xu Zhi's existence. It was not very focused on eating and even looked around from time to time as if it was on guard. However, Xu Zhi walked behind it but was not discovered.
In its eyes, Xu Zhi was just a ball of thicker black mist.
This is all too common in the city center.
Xu Zhi sighed in his heart that the effect was so good that it was almost exaggerated.
Of course, she also understood that the city center was the most suitable environment for this [Ghost Cloak] to work, with heavy fog and darkness, a perfect fit.
After confirming the effect, Xu Zhi did not linger any longer and walked towards the city center.
As she crossed the bridge and walked into the city center, the buildings suddenly became luxurious and crowded.
This was once the most lively place in Yuncheng, but now it has become the quietest place.
Since crossing the bridge, the number of alien species around has increased. They gather in groups of three or four, standing silently by the street, like statues, but their eyes are all looking in a certain direction.
That's the more central place.
The ground was also littered with the remains of a large number of alien species. It seemed that these alien species would rather eat their own kind that the federal alien species did not eat, rather than leave here to hunt humans who were more delicious to them.
The 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 were eager to try, even impatient. Their greed and desire, impatience and cruelty were all exposed in those scarlet eyes.
Xu Zhi believed that if what they were waiting for appeared in the next second, the entire city center would riot in the next second.
Even without that thing appearing, even if a human appeared here, the alien species would immediately scramble to snatch it and tear it into pieces when they saw the delicious food, just like what happened to her spiritual body.
After all, it is almost like a long drought finally ending in rain.
The quiet appearance of these alien species also shows that unless they are really hungry, they are not very aggressive towards their own kind. After all, even if there is a treasure that needs to be guarded at all times and is about to be born, if they are really very aggressive, why would they stand so close to their own kind in the current spacious place?
Moreover, the closer they got to the city center, the more alien species there were, but cannibalism was still not common, and they almost never fought. When Xu Zhi observed carefully, he found that when some alien species were hungry, they would look for alien species that were obviously much weaker than them, in order to quickly satisfy their physiological needs.
Apart from that, they almost remain motionless, looking in a certain direction.
What exactly is the treasure that makes these aliens willing to endure hunger and eat the corpses of their own kind in order to guard it?
However, the closer Xu Zhi got to the center, the narrower her field of vision became. The thick fog around her even condensed into cold water vapor, and she could feel her hair slightly wet.
Xu Zhi found a corner without any alien species, turned on the game console and checked Xiao Zhen's situation. Sure enough, its vision had also become narrow.
Seeing this, Xu Zhi had to give up the idea of letting Xiaozhen accompany him and gave it an order through the game console to wait for him outside.
Now, the only alien species she brought with her were the black cat that turned into green smoke and moved through the fog, the little one on her wrist, and the little alien species in her pocket.
Since entering the city center, the little alien no longer stayed quietly in the pocket, but twisted around a little restlessly, as if trying to get out, but was suppressed by Xu Zhi who slapped his forehead.
The little alien is now more obedient and self-controlled than before, and is still ready to move. If it were before, it would probably have run away without command.
Since entering the city center, her aftereffects from midnight have almost disappeared. Now, even though she is in a thick fog, Xu Zhi's mind is clearer than she has felt in a long time.
This made her feel good, but the closer she got inside, the more alien species there were. Now, she had to walk carefully through the cracks.
Moreover, judging from the size and appearance of these alien species, it seems that the closer they are to the center, the stronger they are.
They relied on their strength to occupy a position closer to "that thing", probably to make it easier to fight for it in the first place.
But those alien species on the periphery that are not strong enough are also unwilling to leave. They still want to get a piece of the pie and hope that those powerful alien species will kill each other. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they are unwilling to leave.
It was amazing that the closer he got to the center, the more the mist condensed into substance, and Xu Zhi felt better and better.
Yes, not only did her mind become clearer, she also felt that she was in an unprecedented "good state".
She took a deep breath, and the air she inhaled was a little sticky. She knew that it was the black mist condensed into substance that she inhaled into her body.
But this is not important, what is important is——
She finally felt a hint of an increase in extraordinary energy!
Something that has never happened before, and that every extraordinary person will experience, is the extraordinary energy that grows naturally from the fog!
Now, in the city center where the black fog has condensed into substance and is so thick that it cannot be thicker, she finally feels a trace of it.
It was as if her body had a natural barrier that prevented the energy in the black fog from entering her body, and now, a trace of the overly dense energy finally squeezed in through the barrier.
