PFC Chapter 12 The Diamond Man
Chapter 12 The Diamond Man
Miao Yin stored the crystal core in the Guanyin Eighty-Eight Temple, and her supernatural abilities spontaneously absorbed it, replenishing her power.
She hooked her foot onto a reasonably intact chair and sat down, rubbing her trembling arms and legs.
Although he managed to eliminate the mutation using his experience from his previous life, the ordeal still took a toll on his still-weak and degenerated body.
As she massaged him, she looked at the pool of white eggs on the ground.
The frog eggs were densely packed and flowing in the mucus. Among the white eggs, some black sesame-seed-like dots could be vaguely seen. If you looked closely, you could also see their tiny pulsations.
The vitality of deformed organisms is extremely strong. Eggs like these will hatch into new frogs in no time, resulting in thousands upon thousands of small deformed frogs.
I wonder how many eggs this frog laid in the mall.
Miao Yin rested for a while, burned all the white eggs, and then left with her Tang sword.
Judging from the degree of mutation, this frog should have been much stronger and more difficult to deal with, yet she killed it in just a few moves. In terms of physical strength, its skin was also too soft.
Looks like they're hungry.
The fact that such aberrations can go hungry indicates that the number of aberrations hidden in the shadows here far exceeds expectations and should not be underestimated.
Perhaps because it was daytime, the anomalies inside the building were hidden, making it quite different from the infamous Hell Tower I remembered.
Miao Yin walked the entire floor without seeing a single mutant. She deliberately threw pieces down, but didn't hear any noise.
She turned and walked towards the pedestrian bridge in the middle of the building that connected to another shopping mall. Looking up, she saw a bag of dried fruit lying quietly on the cracked ground of the bridge.
It turned out to be the case.
Miao Yin stepped across the overpass and arrived at Building B.
The situation in Building B was even worse than in Building A. No shop was spared. Huge, bloody claw marks covered the walls between floors. A children's toy train, broken in half, sat to one side, emitting a stench that filled the air.
"Crack... crack..."
Several lights hanging in the air flickered on and off, occasionally emitting the sound of short circuits.
Miao Yin glanced down and saw the faint reflection on the floor tiles. Flames flowed from her palm and wrapped around the Tang sword.
The next second, she turned around and swung her broadsword down fiercely. Her light blue skirt drew a circular arc in the air with her movement. A tooth-grinding sound rang out as the Tang sword got stuck in the opponent's rock-solid body.
Upon closer inspection, she realized it was a deformed creature covered in diamonds!
The diamond man is nearly two meters tall and covered in all sorts of precious gems. With its sharp edges and angular features, you can see the necklace swaying as it moves. There is no skin visible from head to toe, and two bloody eyeballs are exposed beneath the shimmering jewels.
The lights above flickered, and the Diamond Distortion Man reflected a blinding light in sync with the frequency.
Her Tang sword was stuck in the opponent's chest cavity, the flames burning fiercely, but only melting the surface of the diamond, leaving a misty film on the outside, emitting a faint blue light.
The diamond rubbed against the blade, seemingly poised to swallow the Tang sword whole.
If it were the previous life's Mi Fire, this mutation would not be a threat, but now, facing a substance like diamonds, especially after the mutation, the Mi Fire's burning speed is still a bit slow, and they need to buy time.
Therefore, Miao Yin decisively abandoned the Tang sword, took a few steps back, and avoided the attacks of the mutant.
A brand-new Beretta sword replaced the Tang sword, and Miao Yin fired two shots, blowing out its eyeballs.
A muffled roar came from the deformed man's chest. It staggered back a few steps from the impact of the bullet. Its two thick diamond hands tried to cover its bleeding eye sockets, but because the diamonds on its chest were too thick and its body was too stiff, it could not reach its eyes at all. It could only thrash around like a landlubber in water.
Miao Yin looked at her hands, which were trembling from the recoil, and a crazed glint appeared in her eyes.
She fired wildly, the corners of her mouth widening as she chuckled uncontrollably, her whole body trembling.
The bullet struck the diamond, shattering into tiny fragments, loosening the Tang sword, and leaving a bloody gash on her face.
The diamond man was unable to get close to her after being hit, and after a few stumbles, he fell to the ground, causing cracks to appear in the ground.
Miao Yin rushed forward in a few strides, kicked out a Tang sword, grabbed it, and sent a large scattering of pebbles flying.
The diamond man was thoroughly enraged. It slammed its fist into the ground, the stone creaking and scraping against its body.
The diamonds rearranged themselves and moved from the chest cavity to the arm, thus lengthening the arm.
It used its arms to push itself up from the ground, turned its head, and stared intently at the human who had hurt it.
A chilling sense of crisis exploded in her nerves, Miao Yin's adrenaline surged to its peak, and driven by her sixth sense, she quickly started running.
The extended diamond arms are much more flexible than before; the diamond man can swing his arms to attack even without moving.
All that could be heard behind her was the sound of the ground being smashed, growing ever closer with each step she took.
Miao Yin flipped over and hid behind the toy train, then immediately turned around and ran in the other direction.
"Snapped!"
The toy train, which was meant to be a shield, didn't even last a second before it was smashed to pieces.
In the two seconds of fragment interference, Miao Yin seized the opportunity, bit open the pin, and with a swift slap of her blade, slammed the grenade down precisely beneath the diamond man.
The sound of the grenade hitting the ground effectively confused its judgment, and it instinctively lowered its head to "look".
"boom!"
A diamond rain fell in the mall, with diamonds flying everywhere, shattering glass and embedding in the walls, causing a full-scale assassination attempt. Several mutants that were attracted by the sound were instantly pierced through the head.
After throwing the grenade, Miao Yin hid in the space, perfectly avoiding the explosion.
She only came out of the Eighty-Eight Temples after she estimated that the frying was almost done.
The spot where the diamond man was had become a crater, filled with rubble. After walking around, Miao Yin finally found half of the diamond man, which was buried under the rubble, in a corner.
It was indeed a mutant human with tenacious vitality; even after being blown up right in front of him, half of his body remained, and he was groping and wriggling on the ground.
Having lost an arm and suffered severe injuries, the Diamond Man was powerless to resist for a short period of time.
The flames engulfed its head, and as Miao Yin burned it, she took out a hammer and struck the back of its head.
After knocking for a while, a glimpse of blue finally appeared.
Miao Yin used a knife to pry out the crystal core, and the diamond person stopped twitching and died completely.
The blue stone was crystal clear, and Miao Yin was in a great mood. She then finished off a few more mutated humans who were caught in the crossfire while watching the commotion, and happily obtained three green crystal cores.
"A place with excellent feng shui," she exclaimed.
You might not even get a single crystal core after killing monsters all day on the street, but you can get five in a single go at the mall, not even including those hidden in the shadows.
The hellish shopping mall truly lives up to its name.
After taking the crystal core, Miao Yin quickly left the area.
The explosion was too loud; if we don't leave now, we'll be surrounded and attacked.
