Chapter 13 Red Brick Factory (12) - Creating Dogs Out of Nothing
The martial arts technique standing before Ning Shu and the others now is practically a moving work of art made of stone!
"Look, I've really changed! But this color doesn't look good," Wu Yi said excitedly.
You've actually picked a fight with this? No, what are you getting so excited about?! This means... you might not be human anymore.
Ning Shu internally complained.
She also began to worry that if they could all do this, she, who remained unchanged, would be an anomaly.
There's an even more serious problem: she's currently the weakest of the three in terms of combat strength, and if danger arises at any moment, she'll be the first to die.
Cheng Chuan immediately stood up as well, and even reached out to poke Wu Yi's arm to check the other's body texture.
Ning Shu stood up as well.
"It's hard, it feels like a rock. How does it feel to you?" Cheng Chuan asked.
"Aside from the hard feeling in the areas I touch, I don't feel anything else." Wu Yi patted himself all over with both hands and then gave his opinion.
"Your transformation is quite good. If monsters appear again, you can avoid damage by transforming into this form, and you can also counterattack directly."
However, you should be careful; if your body really does turn to stone, it's not actually that solid, so you still need to be careful to protect yourself.
Cheng Chuan drew a conclusion.
Wu Yi nodded to indicate that he understood.
Ning Shu stood to the side in unusual silence. At this point, she had given up hope that she might still be a "human being".
If she is already dead, she is "living" in another way.
So, the changes in these two people might be a kind of "survival need," and she would also need to undergo such changes in order to "survive."
She wouldn't expect these two people to protect her forever.
"Alright, let's get ready to leave here and see which way to go." Cheng Chuan began to look around for exits.
"Okay." Wu Yi now does whatever Cheng Chuan says, completely treating him like an older brother.
Unbeknownst to them, Ning Shu, who was following behind them, was diligently trying to follow Cheng Chuan's "tutorial" to see if her body could also change.
But she felt like she was going crazy, and her body didn't change at all.
She couldn't understand why she hadn't changed when she had experienced the same things they had all experienced.
Could it be because she only felt body pain and her hands were swollen and deformed?
Those were actually just due to her physical discomfort, and were completely different from the reasons for their physical changes.
The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. In Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi's hallucinations, they were transformed into relatively tangible things, such as sand or petrified skin.
What changes could her swollen and twisted hands bring her? Would her hands become chubby if necessary? Could she use them to punch monsters or scare them? If that's really the function, it's better not to have them at all.
Ning Shu covered her face, choked with sobs.
"Run!"
Ning Shu was pulled back to her senses by Cheng Chuan's loud shout. Cheng Chuan grabbed her hand and pulled her forward.
She turned to look back; no monsters were chasing them, but the stairs kept disappearing.
Ning Shu: !
It turned out that from the moment they stepped onto the next step of the stairs, the steps kept disappearing behind them, and at an increasingly faster speed.
The notion that "stairs are safe" has been shattered, and they are now being thoroughly refuted by that notion.
Faced with an even more dangerous situation, the ground became "safe" for them, and they scrambled to their feet, finding temporary safety.
"Holy crap, what's going on?"
Wu Yi really did tumble down the stairs because he tripped over his own foot in his haste and fell hard, especially his buttocks.
Cheng Chuan: "Perhaps the rules have changed, or perhaps this was just a misunderstanding on our part."
"Look!"
Cheng Chuan had barely finished speaking when he heard Ning Shu's voice. Ning Shu pointed to the ground in horror.
Sure enough, the ground started to move again, but this time it wasn't trying to trap them; instead, it kept "spitting" things out.
They watched as mushroom-shaped things kept popping up from the ground.
These things were initially the same color as red bricks, but gradually the color began to change, and the shape also began to change, turning into...dogs?
After Ning Shu saw the ground change and shouted, he immediately turned to look at the wall closest to them to see if there was a passage.
No! There's nothing there! How could this be?
“There’s no passage!” Ning Shu immediately turned to Cheng Chuan and the others and said.
At the same time, we saw the true faces of those "dogs" that had been completely lifted off the ground—their bodies were rotting, and their mouths were split open, drooling.
It looks exactly like the zombie dog in the movie "Resident Evil".
Ning Shu was completely stunned. She had only turned her head slightly when she saw that these things had all evolved, and into something like this. She felt like she couldn't survive just looking at it.
"Why does this thing look so familiar?" Wu Yi had also seen that movie, but he couldn't remember which movie it was for a moment.
Cheng Chuan: "Resident Evil".
Wu Yi then remembered and began to complain: "Seriously? At least other people's zombie dogs get infected with a virus, but this thing just appears out of nowhere?"
This critique is incredibly sharp and spot-on!
"Ning Shu, stand behind me!"
Cheng Chuan heard what Ning Shu had just said: there was no passage here, and the stairs above had disappeared, so they were now trapped.
He realized that Ning Shu was currently unable to protect herself, so he told her to quickly stand behind him.
He instructed Wu Yi: "Wu Yi, you should quickly turn into a stone man and take care of yourself. I can't look after you."
Wu Yi: "..." A stone man?
Although he wanted to refute, he didn't know what to say, so in the end he could only do as Cheng Chuan said.
After all, survival is the priority right now; we can talk about complaining later.
Ning Shu reacted quickly and immediately hid behind Cheng Chuan.
The moment they finished their actions, the zombie dog pounced on them.
After his body was cemented, Wu Yi was strengthened and no longer needed to worry about being eaten. So he stepped forward and punched the zombie dogs that were rushing towards him.
The effect was quite good. He wasn't afraid of being bitten. At first, he tried to punch it, but later found that this wasn't very effective.
After being beaten and sent flying, those dogs would run back to attack, and they were very vengeful; they would come back to find whoever had beaten them before.
Later, Wu Yi realized that this was ineffective because it didn't have a deterrent effect and only caused him a lot of trouble.
He found a more effective way to fight back—grab the two sides of the zombie dogs' split mouths and tear them in half.
The torn-up zombie dog collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.
Cheng Chuan directly transformed into sand to deal with the zombie dogs that pounced on him. His situation wasn't too good because he had used his ability several times before, and now his stamina was starting to give out.
