Chapter 334 Titan Cells
The summer sun scorched the ruins of the town.
The roar of motors coming from outside the town broke the silence of the afternoon.
Alan collected his thoughts, stood up and walked out of the underground warehouse.
Standing in the shadow of the corner, I looked through the broken glass window towards the direction where the sound of the motor came from.
One year after coming into this world, this was the first time he heard the sound of a car engine.
It is common sense to infer that most drivers are humans from the civilized world.
Alan couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart when he thought about finally being able to see his fellow creatures in person.
To be cautious, Alan did not plan to go out to greet him.
Living in this chaotic wasteland, the humans who have survived to this day may be more cruel and vicious than wild beasts!
It is not too late to observe the visitor's words, actions and strength in secret before deciding whether to go out and say hello.
…
A camouflaged convertible jeep appeared on the long-abandoned streets.
An African-American youth wearing a floral shirt and sunglasses was sitting in the driver's seat. He stepped on the brakes and the jeep slowly stopped.
Sitting in the assistant seat next to her was a girl wearing denim shorts and a tank top, with a short brown ponytail showing behind her baseball cap.
Judging from her skin color, this girl seems to be of Latin descent. She has a pretty face, but has well-developed muscles.
There is a conspicuous blue tattoo on the side of his right arm.
It looks like the letter W, with feather-like patterns decorating it into a pair of folded wings.
Alan's gaze returned to the black guy driving the car.
The same blue tattoo was also found on his arm.
If you want to show your personality, tattoos will help you avoid clashing with other people.
The young man and woman traveling together had the same tattoo, and Allen had reason to suspect that they belonged to the same organization.
The blue W feather tattoo is most likely the emblem of the organization.
The girl in the baseball cap was holding a thick hardcover book and flipping through it absentmindedly.
The young man in sunglasses turned off the car engine, turned around and said to his companion:
"Annie, stop reading! The stories in the Bible are all myths to deceive children!"
"How else can we explain that, thirteen years after the Final Judgment, God's people have been in purgatory on earth, but have yet to see the Savior?"
"How does a sinner know if he is worthy of salvation?" the girl asked unhappily.
"That depends on whether you believe in double predestination." The young man in sunglasses shrugged and opened the car door. "That's enough for today's theological discussion. I have to go pee first and fill up the gas in the car!"
"Be careful or a mutant beetle will bite your dick off!"
Anne joked casually and looked out the window.
"Cato, when was the last time you came to Cong?"
"Almost two years ago, what happened?"
"The atmosphere here is so quiet that it's frightening. Have you looked up any information about the local Titan cell infected people?"
"I checked, but it's useless. The online database was last updated two years ago."
"At least at that time, there were no human infected people above level C in the town."
"As for Titanmon, he may have evolved super powers, but he has not exceeded the upper limit of C-rank. We can deal with him easily."
Cato stood by the grass, unbuckled his belt and urinated.
Anne nodded and murmured, "Maybe we should walk around town and update the database."
"I have no objection if you want, but first you have to fill up the car with gas." Cato lifted his belt.
"That building over there looks to be a gas station."
Anne looked toward the ruins of the building where Alan was hiding.
"What do you expect from a gas station that has been abandoned for more than ten years? Moreover, after the Cataclysm, all fossil energy sources in the world have been contaminated by Titan cells. Burning this dirty oil is like lighting a dynamite in the gas tank!"
Cato scoffed and shook his head, pulling out a device that looked like a music box from his toolbox and placing it on the hood of the car.
"I hate chaebols, but I have to admit that the crystal core generator invented by Solomon Corporation has preserved the spark of civilization for this dilapidated world."
"Without the crystal core generator, we wouldn't be able to drive this old car 500 miles to the ruins of Kang Town."
"Annie, give me a spirit crystal core. I want to try out the Titan beast trap invented by Father Butler to see if it's as effective as he boasted."
The girl opened her backpack, pulled out a transparent crystal and handed it to Cato.
Alan was far away from the two of them, but he still sensed that the crystal was emitting strong fluctuations of telepathic magic.
Through the conversation between the two, it is not difficult for Alan to infer that the surviving humans in this wasteland will cause the mysterious substance that causes biological mutations, named "Titan Cells".
Mutated animals called Titans.
The magic crystals generated in the bodies of Titan beasts are called crystal cores.
The so-called "spiritual crystal core" refers to a crystal that contains spiritual magic power.
Alan also has a lot of similar things, all of which were obtained from the bodies of mutated monster fish in the lake.
From Titan cells and Titanmon, Alan thought that the original space he was in now was the creation of the Original Titan.
Organisms infected with Titan cells become increasingly larger as the Titan cells in their bodies continue to proliferate.
Hugeness is the most distinctive feature of the Titans!
If that’s the case, why do the young man and woman on the street still appear to be of normal human size?
Could it be that they were not infected with Titan cells?
Or use some means, like the cancer inhibitor that Alan prepared using his own blood, to prevent the uncontrolled spread of Titan cells in his body and escape the fate of going crazy and self-exploding?
With these questions in mind, Alan continued to observe the two uninvited guests on the street to see what they were going to do next.
A black youth named Cato put the spirit crystal core into the music box and wound it up.
The music box then played a melodious tune.
As the notes reached his ears, Alan felt a trance.
I couldn't help but feel the urge to walk towards the music box.
Fortunately, his mental resistance was high enough, and he woke up in time, using the "prayer spell" to simulate the 8th-level "mental barrier " and cast it on himself.
Resist negative mental states below Legendary level within one day.
Then, Alan shot a "Mind Barrier" at the rooster Phoenix to prevent it from being hypnotized by the melody of the music box and exposed to outsiders.
Squeak——
Squeak——
From the ruins of the building came the screams of rats, magnified a hundred times.
Two mutant rats, as big as wolfhounds, were attracted by the hypnotic music.
"The thing my dad invented is really effective!"
Cato exclaimed in admiration, raised his right hand, aimed at a mutant rat, and made a shooting gesture.
Cato made the gesture of pulling the trigger, and his mouth was not idle either, simulating the sound of firing a gun.
"Bang!"
A silver light shot out from his fingertips.
Hit the mutant rat and blow its head off on the spot!
Another mutant rat witnessed his companion die tragically on the street.
Stimulated by the fright, he shook off the hypnosis caused by the music, screamed, turned around and crawled into the hole.
"Bang!"
Cato "fired" again.
The silver shock wave formed by the condensed magic power drew a strange arc in the air and drilled into the hole.
Move forward in a zigzag manner in the narrow tunnel, avoid obstacles, catch up with the mutant rats that are fleeing, and shoot them to death.
Alan, who was watching secretly, raised his eyebrows.
Cato's move is similar to "Finger Wave", but it is more powerful and has a longer automatic tracking range.
If measured by the magical martial arts of the warlock world, it is equivalent to third-level martial arts.
"Idiot! You killed the mutant rat in the cave, do you still want the crystal core?" Annie scolded her companion in annoyance.
"I don't want to go into a hole and look for dead mice. Forget about that one. Let's catch a few more Titans and collect a pound of crystal cores to use as batteries. That will be enough to drive the car home."
Cato picked up the music box, turned up the volume, and played it again.
This time, the music spread farther, and should have attracted more mutant creatures.
However, after the song was finished, the streets were still quiet.
Cato and Annie looked at each other and realized something was wrong.
In this town that has been abandoned for many years, there are far fewer mutant creatures than they expected, which is unreasonable!
"Maybe we should check out that gas station over there."
Anne narrowed her eyes slightly, and her gaze became exceptionally sharp.
"Compared to the ruins of other buildings, the entrance of the gas station seems too clean. There seem to be footprints on the grass at the entrance."
After she reminded him, Cato also felt something was unusual.
Focus on releasing mental fluctuations and scan the ruins of the gas station to see if there are any signs of life.
Alan, who was in the shadows, sensed invisible waves of magic power spreading towards him, similar to some kind of prophetic magic.
"Have the humans in this wasteland evolved psychic powers?"
Alan found it increasingly interesting.
Both he and Phoenix have added "mind barriers" that are enough to block this level of mental scanning.
Alan has not been exposed yet, but he does not intend to remain in hiding.
He sent out mental waves and ordered Phoenix to go out and test Cato and Annie to see how capable they were.
…
"Strange, why can't I sense any life signals?"
Cato looked confused and was about to move closer to scout when he suddenly heard a rooster crowing from the opposite side!
A huge rooster, covered with feathers as brilliant as the sunset glow, rushed over angrily.
The ferocious momentum is like a galloping dinosaur!
Cato quickly raised his hand and fired the "Spirit Gun"!
call out--
A wave of silver air whizzed towards the Titan Rooster that was flying towards it.
The rooster stretched its neck and crowed loudly, and the shock wave that came out of its mouth collided with the spirit spear, causing an earth-shaking roar!
The violent air currents stirred up a cloud of flying dust on the streets.
"Ahem... I should have known that the information from two years ago was unreliable!" Cato coughed as the dust blew in his face. "That damn big rooster is definitely a B-rank Titanmon!"
The Titan Rooster's agile figure quickly broke through the smoke and dust and pounced close to Cato.
However, in the next second, Annie appeared in front of Cato like a ghost.
His arms were crossed and his muscles expanded dramatically, as if inflated.
BANG!!
Phoenix was like hitting a rubber mat and was bounced back by Anne's muscular arms.
Anne also suffered a huge recoil and was knocked flying.
However, in the air, she can still keep steady.
Like a nimble bird, it flips in the air and lands lightly.
It was only then that Alan noticed that Anne was barefoot.
A strong airflow gushed out from the soles of his feet, as if he was stepping on an air cushion, floating one foot above the street.
The naked feet ejected air currents, like a human rocket, leaping up at lightning speed.
“Gugu?!”
Phoenix hurriedly looked up and tracked his opponent.
The scorching sun made it unable to open its eyes.
In a flash, Annie shot over and punched the Titan Rooster in the chest.
"Big cock, lie down obediently!"
A murderous look appeared on Anne's pretty face.
Just looking at the size difference between the two sides, the Titan Rooster didn't seem to feel any pain after being hit by Annie's "little punch".
However, this is not the case.
Annie's fist, filled with magical power, swells to ten times its normal size!
The moment the fist hit the rooster, magic power suddenly exploded, as if igniting a barrel of explosives .
boom!!
Phoenix was knocked away by Annie's punch and fell into an abandoned building on the street with a scream.
"Annie! Great job!"
Cato raised his right hand and shot out a silver light, chasing the prey knocked down by Annie.
However, at this moment, a huge and strange figure suddenly emerged from the ruins, blocking his trajectory.
Cato was stunned for a moment.
While he was still hesitating whether to control the trajectory with telepathy to avoid accidentally hurting the strange man who appeared out of nowhere, the other party had already taken action.
Bang!
The crisp sound of snapping fingers echoed in the street.
Cato's eyes widened in shock.
The "spiritual gun" shot out with full force, with a power comparable to that of a rocket launcher, was unexpectedly blocked by the opponent!
A tall and burly figure walked towards the street through the smoke and dust.
Cato and Annie gasped at the same time.
It was a giant that was five meters tall.
The dark and smooth skin glows with a pearly luster.
Cato and Annie have seen too many mutated humans who have been infected by Titan cells and have grown to gigantic sizes.
However, the black giant opposite showed no signs of bloating caused by cell cancer.
There is not a trace of fat on his body.
The toned muscle lines seem to be carved from obsidian.
His tall and well-proportioned figure and calm and stern temperament were completely different from any infected person they had come into contact with before.
Annie gritted her teeth, and suddenly exerted force with her feet, gushing out high-pressure airflow, and pounced on the black giant like a hurricane.
Alan activated the fourth stage of atavism and transformed into a stone giant, his expression calm.
With keen "tremor perception", accurately predict Annie's sprint trajectory.
He raised his hand calmly and flicked his fingers.
BANG!!
Before Annie could even swing her fist, she was blown away by the air explosion caused by Alan's snap of his fingers, and fell to the ground tumbling.
His hair was disheveled, his breathing was heavy, and he looked a little disheveled.
"Annie! Watch out behind you!"
Cato's exclamation just came out of his mouth.
Behind Annie, the stone giant has been unearthed!
A powerful hand grabbed Anne's neck and lifted her into the air like a chicken.
Anne struggled desperately.
Every pore on the body is emitting high-pressure airflow!
The hissing airflow was like countless sharp blades that could easily cut through the steel plates, but it could not help her escape the giant's hand.
The naked stone giant's skin was cut by the wind blade without leaving a single scar.
Anne's own denim shorts and tank top were torn by the wind blade, revealing a large area of smooth and delicate light brown skin.
Fortunately, her breasts were strong enough to hold onto the torn bra.
"If you're smart, you'd better stop spraying it randomly, or you'll lose your underwear."
The giant's deep, rich voice echoed in Annie's ears.
Anne shuddered and gave up resisting wisely.
Alan noticed her change in mentality and the corners of his lips rose slightly.
He gently put her down and released the hand that was strangling her neck.
Anne turned around, crossed her arms over her chest, and looked up at the black giant, her eyes filled with a mixture of vigilance and confusion.
"Why don't you kill me?"
Allen didn't answer, but turned and shouted, "Phoenix!"
"Coo, coo, coo!"
The Titan Rooster crowed happily and ran over with the cloak in its mouth.
Alan caressed the rooster's neck, took on the light yellow cloak he had sewed from curtains, and canceled his atavistic transformation.
The huge giant quickly shrank in size.
The dark skin color turns into wheat color.
Cato and Anne stared at the naked boy in front of them with disbelief in their eyes.
