"...I'm the bastard? I think you're the bastard, knowing this place is weird yet still banging my forehead!"Before even entering Furui City, Zhang Lin suddenly mutated, transforming from a human into a girl with rabbit ears, and started wrestling with Jin Wu at the entrance.
Zhang Lin injected the Spirit Particle Potion for spiritualization; her physique didn't change much. Besides the feature in her eyes, she only grew some black downy feathers like those of a chick on her legs and arms, which were covered by her clothes.
Jin Wu, seeing Zhang Lin turn into a rabbit spirit, was completely flustered.
Of course.
With Jin Wu's intelligence, it could guess the causes and effects of Zhang Lin's mutation, but that didn't stop it from going directly to give Zhang Lin a beating.
After partnering for so long, you mutate but don't turn into a crow; you become an unrelated black rabbit instead.
Can you justify yourself to me? Are we still buddies! We owe it to heaven and earth to do things conscientiously.
"This is..."
Ansheng looked towards Miyel with a face full of dark lines.
"Miss Zhang belongs to pure-blood humans, even though her body harbors the crow Spirit Particle source, she remains human..." Miyel frowned and thought for a moment, providing a reasonable explanation.
This kind of mutation occurring in the buffer zone, Miyel indeed had no relevant intelligence about.
Take Beast Warriors, for instance, they mutate only after entering Furui City by three hundred steps.
Gene displacers need to be near the core area before their physique undergoes uncontrollable Furui mutation.
Anyone who enters the buffer zone, there's no such thing as a truly pure-blood human; all are spirit beasts in disguise.
Since the incident, Zhang Lin might be the first pure-blood human to approach Furui City's vicinity.
Thus, Miyel didn't expect such a thing to happen just upon arriving at the inn.
"Mutation at the genetic level..." Shasha squatted down and held Zhang Lin's hand, checked and said to Master Fuli: "But no major risks, leaving Furui City afterward, diagnosis fee twenty bottles of potion, not turning back into human in three minutes will cost my performance evaluation."
Furui City's surroundings are enveloped in a unique energy radiation range affecting genes.
Furui mutation isn't random alteration but determined by the genes of surrounding life forms, with energy bombarding outwards from the core.
This energy directly passes through biological physiques, not damaging the organism's innards, yet during this interaction, it's bound to contaminate hereditary information.
Polluted energy entering the body, unable to perfectly pass through, triggers cumulative mutations.
"It's unconscious behavior, like snoring during sleep, and the snoring spreads through air as a medium, thus affecting the sleeping quality of the person beside you."
Shasha, with a contemplative look, said: "Harmless, at least until the mutation source fully awakens."
As Shasha spoke, he instinctively glanced towards Furui City's earthquake rift.
"Has it awakened?"
Ansheng curiously asked.
"Could trigger flesh and blood deformities perhaps?" Shasha pondered and replied.
What's called Furui mutation is actually a group incident induced unconsciously when that thing was asleep.
Once it awakens, within the energy radiation zone, all life forms find it hard to escape its control.
Unless... their physique is strong enough to withstand that energy radiation torrent.
"Well then... let's eat and take a stroll in Furui City, meet Lu Tiannan for information."
Ansheng exhaled warm breath, hoping to quickly burst the city's gold before returning to Xia Dong.
At night, it's probably around eleven p.m. Europe time, temperatures around minus twenty degrees, still not the coldest time of day.
Although the temperature isn't harmful, it's obviously not Ansheng's preferred climate.
"Don't say, turning into a rabbit is quite warm." Zhang Lin checked herself in a circle, injected the Spirit Particle Potion she carried to ensure it didn't affect her combat capability, and her mind clearly became more active.
She even had the mood to explore her changes.
"Master Fuli, look... " Zhang Lin pulled up her sleeve and placed her arm before Master Fuli, her face curious as she asked: "Do you feel anything when you smell it?"
"...You just have to get a rabies vaccine to feel comfortable, huh?"
Ansheng sat crouched at the dining table, a face full of dark lines, looking at the waving pale arm before him, lifted his paw and slapped it down, furiously retorting.
"Simply curious." Zhang Lin retracted her arm and sat back in the chair, drinking the Borscht on the table.
The dishes Miyel arranged were very typical Rakshasa Country cuisine, Borscht, yogurt stewed beef, and Russian-style grilled meat paired with big rye bread.
Of course.
The big rye bread here was fresh out of the oven, not hard, and could even be a bit tender when dipped in soup.
Ansheng grabbed a skewer and started to feast.
Only, during the midnight snack, Ansheng weirdly watched Zhang Lin repeatedly head to the bathroom.
"You didn't get an upset stomach due to a large water intake, did you?"
"Probably..." Zhang Lin rubbed her stomach, somewhat helplessly said.
Rabbits predominantly feed on high fiber, ingesting high water content food shortly triggers diarrhea.
Due to her work nature, Zhang Lin engaged in outdoor activities and training for extended periods, her daily water intake measured in liters, which wasn't an issue before transforming into a rabbit.
Now that her basic genetic logic changed, the water previously drank now became a burden on her gastrointestinal system.
"You really should pace yourself, we didn't bring spare clothes for changing when we go out." Ansheng, full of sympathy, raised his paw to pat Zhang Lin's shoulder in consolation.
"I can hold it..." Zhang Lin said, as she pulled tissues from the box on the table to prepare for emergencies, directly doing it in the city without cover.
"I'll stay behind." As they were about to leave, Li Mengxi spoke honestly: "I'm weak, if anything happens you can contact me via phone."
"That's enough..."
Ansheng waved his hand, not expecting much from Unos who had all his talent points in wisdom.
In such a radiation source, once entering the city, Unos's body might explode through its biomimetic shell.
Its physique was inherently weak; without the biomimetic shell's defense, one shot could end its octopus life.
"By the way..."
As they walked out of the safe house and sat in the SUV, Miyel suddenly spoke, looked at Master Fuli, and asked:
"Are you afraid of bullets? Outside our Eastern Rakshasa people's camp, many Western Rakshasa people have gathered, vowing to defend their land."
"Once we enter the city later, we might get hit by a hail of bullets..."
Plain Country doesn't prohibit guns, the closer to Rakshasa Country, the looser the firearm management policy.
No other organization camp has civilians autonomously forming resistance armies, but the Rakshasa Country camp does...
"Hey! I'm afraid of bullets!"
Master Fuli, Shasha, Zhang Lin hadn't said anything yet, but suddenly a voice rang out from the rear boot of the SUV.
Adela's figure slowly emerged like a ghost from atop the weapon chest.
"A chameleon?" Ansheng slightly astonished, looked at the silent Adela, then at Shasha.
Adela might be a possessor of multiple displacement genes, perfectly concealing her aura and vitality, infiltrating the car.
But... shouldn't she escape Shasha's radar?
"She said there's a secret to tell Master Fuli, so I acted like I didn't see anything." Shasha said.
