What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Xiang Kun first noticed some movement in the distant sky in the middle of the night, then found a high point to observe carefully. After switching to the infrared thermal imaging vision mode, he discovered that there were two poles in the mid-air in the deep mountains in the northwest direction. Faint light blue spots were fighting.

Xiang Kun has always attached great importance to the improvement of his sensory abilities. Especially after killing Guo Tian, ​​he made a qualitative breakthrough in his ability to perceive other "mutated creatures", and he can visually see from a distance. Make a judgment directly.

In addition, his original visual ability is getting stronger and stronger, and his visual distance is extremely far, which directly enhances the range of his visual judgment of "mutated creatures".

Combining the sense of smell, hearing, sixth sense, and even the identification of cognitive information of "mutated creatures" in the "super-sensory state" makes him very confident - if he encounters other "mutated creatures" again, he will definitely notice it first one party.

Just like now, at this distance, if you are an ordinary person, even if you can distinguish the "mutated creatures", you will not notice what is happening in the sky over there, and even if you notice it, you can't see clearly at all.

But even Xiang Kun, at this distance, could barely see the shape of the two blue lights, and couldn't determine their form.

But the flight pattern and trajectory of one of the blue lights in the air reminded Xiang Kun of the "mutated big bird", and he compared it with the flight pattern and flight trajectory of the "mutated big bird" in his memory. Get the answer:

There is a probability of more than 90% that one of them is the "mutated big bird", but the speed seems to be increased.

As for the other party, it is also a "mutated creature" that can fly, but what is different from the "mutated big bird" and other "mutated creatures" that Xiang Kun has seen through the infrared thermal imaging visual mode is that it represents that "mutated creature" It is light blue, surrounded by dots of red, and there is a large red mass on the tail that is larger than the body. It looks very weird, as if it is a semi-mutated creature.

However, Xiang Kun knew very early on that when his infrared thermal imaging visual mode distinguished "mutated creatures", it did not judge based on heat alone.

No matter how the body temperature of the "mutated creature" changes, whether it rises or falls, or how it compares with the surrounding temperature, under his special visual mode, it will only appear as a light blue color.

Of course, if he wants, he can also adjust his color recognition of "mutated creatures" to other colors.

But apart from "mutated organisms", the temperature judgment of other things is still relatively accurate.

Just looking at the color distribution, Xiang Kun guessed the "mutated creature" that was fighting with the "mutated big bird".

It is flown by a man-made aircraft, at least with a jet engine.

This surprised Xiang Kun even more, because judging from the flight trajectory of the "flying mutant creature", its flexibility in the air was not much worse than that of the "mutated big bird". From a structural point of view, this was not reasonable.

Xiang Kun suddenly realized something, and continued to observe the surroundings carefully, and then discovered some hovering objects scattered around the two "mutated creatures" swimming in the air. Judging from their heat and movement trajectories, these objects were most likely to be Drones.

Xiang Kun immediately connected the "flying mutant creatures" with "Shenxing Technology". After all, he had known before that "Shenxing Technology" liked to use a large number of drones to search for "mutated creatures", and "Shenxing Technology" "Xing Technology" had indeed discovered traces of the "mutated big bird" in Wu Shushan's generation before.

Is "Shenxing Technology" capturing the "mutated big bird"?

He sensed the "super-connected object" piece of paper that Mi Qiao had always carried with him, and found that it was not nearby.

He squinted and observed for a while, judging from the flight trajectories and patterns of both sides in the air, he found that the "mutated big bird" obviously wanted to escape and was completely suppressed by the "flying mutant creature". It was probably just a matter of time before it was caught. A matter of time.

Xiang Kun raised his head and glanced at the night sky, feeling the changes in the atmospheric electric field and the surrounding magnetic field. He closed his eyes and entered the "supersensory state". He made further cognitive judgments, and then quickly made deductions and calculations in his mind. He led Zero 1, 002 and some "flying worker ants" in the direction where the two "mutated creatures" were fighting.

Xiang Kun didn't care about the life or death of the "mutated big bird", but he was very interested in the "flying mutant creature" from "Shenxing Technology". He didn't know if it was a human "vampire" or another creature? How does the equipment on the body that helps it fly keep up with the speed and agility of the "mutated big bird"?

On the other hand, he is also a little worried that if the "flying mutant creatures" of "Shenxing Technology" swallow the blood of the "mutated big bird", will they also gain part of the "mutated big bird"'s sensory memory like him?

He is not sure whether other "mutated creatures" can obtain some of the mixed memory fragments possessed by the target like him after swallowing the blood of "mutated creatures", but he cannot rule out this possibility.

If that big bird is really the one he encountered before, it should also have a memory for him, and the other party might get relevant memory fragments.

Of course, according to Xiang Kun's "rich" memory fragment acquisition experience, the memory stored by the "mutated big bird" and its sensory information, even if it does not have no visual and auditory information like the "mutated parasite", must be the same as that of humans. The memory information model is somewhat different. If a human "vampire" obtains those memory fragments, he may not be able to find information that can determine his identity. After all, not everyone has such a powerful "global sensory information decoding ability" as he does.

Moreover, if "Shenxing Technology" only captures the "mutated big bird" for research, it may not swallow its blood.

In his "super-sensory state" before, he discovered that there were several living "mutated creatures" in the building where the wooden rabbit sculpture was located.

Therefore, if there is danger or the possibility of exposing himself, he will not insist on preventing the other party from capturing the "mutated big bird".

After closing a certain distance, Xiang Kun discovered the drones cruising around. In order to avoid being discovered, he chose to stop, then took out the box carrying the "flying worker ants", released them, and passed the "zero" "Zero Two" asked them to carry a tungsten steel ball each and continue moving forward.

There are a total of forty "flying worker ants" carrying the balls, like a flying formation, spreading out and rushing forward.

He was going to try to use his "super-sensory state" to observe the fight between these two "mutated creatures". Unfortunately, although the "Flying Worker Ant" reached a top speed of nearly 20KM/H, he ultimately failed to catch up before the end of the battle.

The battle over there has come to an end. The "mutated big bird" fell into the forest several times and tried to escape several times, but failed.

The "flying mutated creature" restrained it with a slender chain, and seemed to be about to subdue it.

Seeing that the "mutated big bird"'s struggle was getting weaker and weaker, the capture seemed to be over soon. The distance was still very far, and the "flying worker ants" and "large army" had not yet been deployed. Xiang Kun thought quickly. When he was thinking about whether or not he should do something and how he should do it, an intuition suddenly came to him, causing him to subconsciously glance in another direction.

At first glance, there was nothing in that direction, but Xiang Kun knew very well that for him now, "intuition" was not something unreasonable or metaphysical, but that the large amount of supersensory information he had obtained could not be processed... or in other words, it was not something that could be processed yet. When cognitive judgment cannot be made subjectively, the deeper instinct gives the first feedback.

This kind of feedback cannot give a very clear and accurate judgment, and it may not even be 100% correct, but there must be some information that his normal cognition and subjective cognition have missed and ignored, and this information should be helpful to what he is currently doing. What you are thinking about is quite important.

So after Xiang Kun hesitated slightly, he did not choose to take action to prevent the "flying mutant creature" from taking away the "mutated big bird", but continued to lurk in the forest and wait.

After the "flying mutated creature" flew away and the drones everywhere evacuated, Xiang Kun began to stride wildly in the forest.

After he entered the depths of Wushu Mountain, he took off his shoes and coat and hid them beforehand, and walked barefoot in the mountain.

In the dark night, there is no need for lighting. Xiang Kun relies on his night vision ability and super brain calculation and processing power to instantly plan the fastest route, running wildly close to the ground in the forest, sometimes turning over You can even use your hands and feet when jumping over mountain walls or encountering obstacles.

If someone is nearby at this time and notices movement, or is passed by, they may be startled and think it is some wild beast running past, but they will not be able to see clearly or realize that it is a person.

After running wildly for a while, Xiang Kun arrived at the area where the "flying mutant creature" and the "mutated big bird" were fighting.

Although the main battlefield of the two "mutated creatures" is in the air, the "mutated big bird" fell into the forest several times, so many areas here are in a mess, with many branches broken, vegetation collapsed, and tree bark blown away. Some trees that were not very thick were even knocked up with their roots lifted out of the soil.

However, Xiang Kun did not find the feathers or flesh of the "mutated big bird" in these areas, which was within his expectation, but the smell did remain. Based on this smell, he determined that the "flying mutated bird" The big bird captured by the "creature" was the "mutated big bird" he encountered twice.

The place where these "mutated big birds" had fallen before was where Xiang Kun's "intuition" pointed to him.

He had just reviewed his memory, carefully reviewed the various sensory information he had obtained, and found that the "mutated big bird" seemed to have deliberately dropped to the ground several times after it was unable to escape from the air.

At that time, he thought that the "mutated big bird" was trying to fight back from the ground, or to escape from the ground using the terrain in the forest, but when he thought about it again, Xiang Kun immediately realized that he might have guessed its purpose wrong.

Xiang Kun did not directly use sight or smell to search this area, because this area was a bit large, the "mutated big bird" had been dropped more than once, and there were several points that needed to be explored.

Fortunately, the large army of "flying worker ants" has also arrived nearby, so after sending out the "flying worker ants" carrying the "super-connected object" balls, Xiang Kun entered the "super-sensory state" and used the "super-sensory state" scattered around. Dozens of "hyper-connected things" can expand the scope of one's perception and cognitive information.

Xiang Kun's search goal is also very clear, which is cognitive information related to "mutated creatures".

In fact, just like if you want to find some content in a book, sometimes it is faster and more intuitive to read it directly with a physical book, and sometimes it is faster and more convenient to search txt documents using ctrl+F on the computer.

In the "super-sensory state", he quickly locked onto the target.

Opening his eyes, Xiang Kun walked quickly in one direction, crouched down among a bunch of grass lying on the ground that seemed to have been crushed by the "mutated big bird" when it fell to the ground, and stretched out his hand to slowly pull the grass away.

Xiang Kun saw a broken eggshell. There was a lot of mucus around the eggshell, which extended to a small hole not far away. It seemed that some creature hatched from the eggshell, and then...burrowed into the ground. Ran?

Xiang Kun picked up an eggshell stained with mucus and sniffed it, and was very sure that the egg belonged to the "mutated big bird".

It is normal for a bird to lay eggs, but when being beaten and chased by the enemy, it would be very strange for it to drop from the sky and quickly and secretly lay an egg before continuing to fight.

Moreover, the size of the eggs laid by birds is generally directly related to their own body size. Normally, even if the "mutated big bird" really lays eggs, it should be much larger than this, and judging from the eggshell, This egg is even smaller than an ordinary egg.

What's more, it takes a certain amount of time for eggs to hatch. Even for "mutated creatures", the hatching time is shortened, but it is not so short.

Could it be that as soon as the egg was hidden, other creatures came out of the ground, broke the shell, ate the contents, and then ran away?

But Xiang Kun quickly dismissed this possibility, because he judged from the way the eggshell broke, the traces on the ground next to it, and the smell around it that no other creature broke the eggshell from the outside. The eggshell was opened from the inside. of.

And judging from the traces, the egg that burst open the eggshell, crawled away and burrowed away, was not like a bird, but more like a long, multi-legged insect.

People say, "The son of a mouse can dig holes," but the "son" of a big bird can't fly, but it actually digs a hole and runs away as soon as it breaks out of an egg?

This is so weird.

Moreover, what the hell is going on when an egg laid by a bird hatches and turns into a multi-legged insect?

Although it is called a "mutated creature", is it too mutated?

Could it be that it also swallowed some special "mutated creature" and acquired this "complete metamorphosis development method"? In the future, if this insect pupates again, it will turn into a bird again?

No...it's not reproduction.

Xiang Kun realized something. He took out a tungsten steel ball and controlled it to drill into the hole. Within the scope of his control, he found that he had not reached the end of the exploration, so he let a few "little ones" he brought with him Worker ant", got right in.

He originally planned to put "001" in, but after taking a look at the eggshell, he changed his mind and put both "001" and "002" on the eggshell.

Soon, "Zero Zero One" and "Zero Zero Two" began to chew the membrane and juice on the inside of the eggshell fragments. They even started to forcefully chew the eggshell after eating the membrane.

But after chewing for a while, the broken eggshells began to change rapidly. In just ten seconds, they all turned into gray powder, and most of them were blown away by a breeze.

Xiang Kun judged based on his intuition that this egg was not the "descendant" left behind by the "mutated big bird", but the egg itself!

It is using this method to "cut off its tail to survive", and its original body as a big bird is its "tail".

This egg, and its subsequent changes, are its special ability to continue life.

I don't know if this is an ability it got from other "mutated creatures", or if it is a special way of escape that it combines the abilities of other "mutated creatures" to adapt to the environment.

It is conceivable that if this is a way of escape as Xiang Kun guessed, the price must be huge.

Xiang Kun originally planned to put the "feasted" "001" and "002" into the small hole and let them lead the ant colony to hunt down the "birds and insects", but he found that at this time, they They were all motionless, as if they were falling into a deep sleep.

Xiang Kun had no choice but to temporarily put them in a small box he carried with him, and then left the tungsten steel balls used for cave exploration in the cave as markers.

When "Zero Zero Two" was resting, his ability to control the ant colonies produced by "Zero Zero Two" also dropped a lot. It wasn't that the ant colonies would lose control, but that his understanding of his commands would be very low, making it difficult to Make accurate instructions.

At this moment, Xiang Kun's senses, which had always been on high alert, suddenly detected sounds in the distance. He quickly realized that a large number of drones were coming this way.

It seems that the "flying mutated creature" has also noticed the "mutated big bird"'s "tail-cutting survival" tactic.

According to Xiang Kun's speculation on the normal physiological characteristics of "mutated creatures", when the egg began to hatch, the body of the captured "mutated bird" had become a severed body or organ, just like it Just like a fallen feather, it won't take long before it completely loses its vitality and turns into powder and disappears.

Xiang Kun started to run in the opposite direction, but after running for a while, he stopped and chose to find a place to hide nearby.

Because he realized that in this situation, no matter how fast he ran on the ground, he could not run faster than the aircraft in the sky. Moreover, if he moves quickly, it will easily attract the attention of infrared thermal imaging. Since the opponent can hunt down the invisible "mutated big bird", there must be a way to distinguish him in the forest.

Xiang Kun had previously thought about a way to fake the surface temperature and blend himself with the ambient temperature to fool infrared thermal imaging. After all, normal infrared thermal imaging equipment should not be as sensitive to "mutations" as his infrared thermal imaging vision mode. "Creatures" have special ways of distinguishing.

But for now, he has not completed this method yet. He is experimenting directly here, and the success rate is not high.

So even if he doesn't run away and finds a place to hide, once the "flying mutant creature" that tries to turn around uses a drone to conduct a large-scale search, he will still be very likely to be discovered.

Or... just have a fight?

After closing the distance before, Xiang Kun also relied on his super eyesight and discovered in the low-light night vision mode that the "flying mutant creature" could become invisible just like the "mutated big bird".

Judging from his previous experience with the "mutated big bird" in Zihuan Mountain, the power of the "flying mutant creature" is even greater than that of the "mutated big bird"!

Coupled with the engines and other equipment that are obviously attached to the body, and the long chains that extend, Xiang Kun's estimate of the strength of the "flying mutant creature" is very high.

Not to mention that if the opponent is from "Shenxing Technology", it is very likely that a large number of backups can arrive in a short time.

Of course, if he really had to take action and make a preliminary judgment with not much information available, he still felt that he had a greater chance of winning.

Because the weather tonight is also good - dark clouds are approaching, and a mountain rain is coming.

Compared with flying, Xiang Kun is not afraid of any living creature now. If the opponent relies on machinery and electronic equipment, like those drones, then his advantage will be even greater.

In fact, since the discovery of the "mutated big bird" and the "flying mutant creature", Xiang Kun has been constantly deducing the possible development of the conflict based on changes in actual information, and at the beginning of his deduction, he dealt with it alone. Those two "mutated creatures".

But after stopping to hide, Xiang Kun immediately made a decision:

Can you not expose yourself, or don't expose yourself.

If it can be determined that the opponent is an enemy, then there is no doubt that even if they are not well prepared, when they meet on a narrow road, they will definitely strike first, find the right opportunity, attack with all their strength, and strive to kill them with one blow.

But for now, he is not sure that the other party is the enemy.

Even if the "flying mutated creature" is most likely to belong to "Divine Technology", he is not sure what attitude the other party will have towards him and what position he will take after knowing his situation.

But it is impossible for him to directly jump out to test the other party's position, expose himself directly, and hand the initiative into the other party's hands.

Without sufficient information about the other party, this option is too risky.

So Xiang Kun quickly came up with a plan:

Scare the other person away.
