Chapter 12 - Chapter 0012: The Hunted Sky Overlord

"No matter how you do it, like in many games, your energy is the 'ice' attribute. This definitely isn't the only ability attribute that evolved humans possess."

"Only a few of us here survived, so only a few have evolved. I believe there are more people out there who will evolve, and they will definitely have even more abilities."

Cui Hao's expression was excited as he spoke, the envy in the depths of his eyes impossible to hide.

"How do you release this ice?" Yun Hai was more concerned about this.

"I don't know either. I just feel like there's a strange energy in the air. This energy enters my body and gathers in this place..."

Pointing to his chest, Da Tou was very confused, and after thinking for a long time, he stammered, "It's hard for me to explain where, but it's in my body, when I want to use them, the cold air flows through my body, reaching the place I want it to reach."

"Is there a lot of cold air in your body now?"

Yun Hai felt envious after listening.

Da Tou smiled and shook his head, saying, "I had a lot of fun earlier, so there's not much left."

"How is this cold air replenished?"

Cui Hao asked again.

This time, Da Tou answered quickly, saying without thinking, "I said earlier about the energy in the air. Through breathing and the pores all over my body, they continuously enter my body. The cold air will definitely run out, but it will continue to be replenished."

"Maybe you can only kill people, and even then, only people who don't dare to move. The speed of the mutated animals outside is very fast. Once they bite you, you might only be able to freeze them then, but it will be too late." Yun Hai opened his mouth to mock him.

Actually, the more he listened, the more envious he felt. He himself was only infected by a monster, his senses were very sensitive to the aura of danger, including his mind being clearer and more flexible, even his speed and strength had greatly improved compared to before.

Especially since he woke up today, Yun Hai felt very light and strong.

The fact proves that human greed is limitless. Putting aside the Alien Queen, Yun Hai's physical condition is already far beyond ordinary people, but he still wants to have an "ice" ability that seems as cool as Da Tou's.

"I'll try."

Not affected by Yun Hai's mockery, Da Tou chuckled, turned his head and looked around, picked up a pair of chopsticks from the table, and then focused on pointing at the wall.

Cold air visible to the naked eye spread from Da Tou's hand to the chopsticks, and quickly crawled onto the wall.

Amidst the admiring gazes of others, Da Tou's expression was very relaxed. The chopsticks surrounded by cold air in his hand did not produce ice, but the wall he pointed to was instantly covered with a layer of solid ice.

Stopping at the right time, pulling back his chopsticks, Da Tou tapped the ice on the wall with his finger, smiled proudly, and said, "How is it?"

Yun Hai was completely speechless now. After a long while, he laughed dryly and said, "It seems we need to find you a longer weapon."

"Yeah, I also need to experiment to see which material conducts cold air the fastest."

Da Tou's expression became even more excited.

Envy aside, Yun Hai was genuinely happy from the bottom of his heart that his friend, who had grown up with him since childhood, had mutated and gained abilities. He smiled and asked, "By the way, have your strength and speed changed compared to before?"

"There hasn't been much change."

As Da Tou spoke, he didn't give others a chance, directly pulling Yun Hai and walking towards the guest room.

After entering his guest room, Da Tou closed the door, took out a box from under the bed, took out a few bottles of beer and a few bags of dried nuts, and placed them on the bedside table.

"I knew you security guards weren't honest."

Opening a beer and drinking half a bottle in one gulp, Yun Hai wiped his mouth with satisfaction, opened a bag of pistachios and started eating them.

"This is nothing. Liu Ming and Manager Qi are hiding even more good stuff. Maybe those college students are hiding a lot too. Originally, I was planning to bring it to you later, but now it's good. Red wine, white wine, and a lot of braised meat. I'll ask them for it later. If they don't give it, I'll freeze them into ice."

Da Tou drank beer, the fear that had been suppressed in his heart for the past two days temporarily disappearing, but he looked excited.

"That's true. Now that you've evolved and have abilities, and don't have to worry about someone here dissecting you for research, in this hotel, if you say one, probably no one would dare to say two."

Never realizing that chewing pistachios could be so fragrant, a sip of beer and a sip of dried nuts, and seeing his best friend laughing so hard he couldn't close his mouth, Yun Hai, who had been worried for two days, was also extremely happy.

"Don't be too proud yet. Let alone a swarm of insects, even if there's a wave of rats like that day, with your abilities, you'd still be gnawed until there wasn't a single hair left."

Seeing Da Tou's expression becoming more and more proud, Yun Hai said with a smile.

"I know, but this ability will definitely become stronger, then killing insects and exterminating rats probably won't be too difficult, right?"

Da Tou could always listen to Yun Hai's opinions.

Taking another bag of biscuits and opening it, Yun Hai stopped smiling and said solemnly, "Abilities can only be improved through practice. You need to familiarize yourself with your abilities as soon as possible, try and think a lot, see how to absorb energy in the air faster, how to exert the power of your abilities, and also try how much of a limit of energy you can absorb into your body."

"Attacking isn't your only ability. When the cold air in your body accumulates more, you can try covering the surface of your body with solid ice. Parts like joints should naturally be avoided, forming a set of ice armor."

"I also saw earlier that the ice you produce is very hard, and the surface is smooth. A giant rat biting it probably won't hurt you, let alone the more terrifying mosquitoes." After Yun Hai finished speaking, he added a sentence.

"Your brain is indeed smarter, I understand."

Da Tou grinned, nodded in agreement, suddenly remembered something, lowered his voice and asked mysteriously, "By the way, you were busy until midnight last night and were also tired. Originally, I wanted to ask you. Yun Hai, have you also evolved?"

"Why do you ask that?" Yun Hai bit into a biscuit and looked at Da Tou.

"I heard other people discussing, saying that you could sense danger coming several times in advance, and your whole self is also more agile and calmer than before, like a different person. And no one saw you on the night the meteorite fell. Everyone suspects you had already evolved that night, and everyone speculated it was related to the brain, nerves, or something like that."

"If you have to say it's evolution, that's acceptable, but I don't have a painful experience like you, let alone offensive and defensive abilities like you. I can only vaguely sense the aura of danger within a certain distance, and I don't know how it happens."

Yun Hai didn't plan to tell anyone about the alien eggs and queen.

Da Tou opened his mouth, about to speak, suddenly...

A clear and piercing screech suddenly sounded. Yun Hai and Da Tou exchanged glances, hurriedly opened the door and rushed out.

From afar, they could see the people sitting in the lobby terrified and running around. More people were rushing into the hallway, heading straight for their respective rooms.

Who still cared what mutated creature had appeared, and basically few people would consider that if the hotel entrance was destroyed, the room doors were no different from paper for mutated creatures.

They just wanted to escape. When life is threatened, perhaps some people will take up arms and fight bravely, but having just entered the end times from a peaceful era, those who have always been hiding in the hotel and are relatively safe, more people simply do not have the courage to face the ferocious mutated creatures.

Rushing out of the crowd, Yun Hai didn't know how many people he bumped into. Amidst their terrified and angry shouts, he rushed to the front door, lifted the thick carpet and looked out.

"Damn!"

Normally rarely uttering profanities, but at this moment, looking outside through the transparent glass door, Yun Hai couldn't help but swear.

"Oh my God, I'm not seeing things, am I?"

Cui Hao, a bespectacled college student, just assume he wants to go abroad, wants to be a foreign lackey, so it's not strange if he learns to speak like a foreigner, right?

Completely unaware that Yun Hai had appeared beside him, Cui Hao and several male college students stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the former emitting a delusional moan, as if unable to believe what he was seeing, and rubbed his eyes.

No one paid attention to his voice, everyone stared blankly at the mountain peak outside, their faces full of shock.

In the vast sky, dark clouds rolled, covering a behemoth, broken feathers flying, blood spurting.

Right above South Peak, not far from the peak of Liyang Mountain, Yun Hai, who had excellent vision, recognized the behemoth in an instant.

It was a golden eagle, which was rarely seen on the Eighteen Peaks before, but since a few years ago, the tropical rainforest on the border of Dian Province and the Eighteen Peaks of Yang Mountain became a national nature reserve, various animals slowly increased, and golden eagles occasionally appeared above Yang Mountain.

Of course, what appeared before was not a giant with such an exaggerated size as the one in front of them. With the child-seeking stone on the peak of South Mountain as a reference, Yun Hai estimated that the body length of this golden eagle had exceeded ten meters, and its wingspan had even reached about twenty meters.

The thick and long keratinous claws, which were originally as sharp as a lion and tiger, were now even sharper, leaving no doubt that with one strike, it could tear flesh, rip tendons and bones, or even break the neck of a lion and tiger.

Its sharp beak was like a hooked spear, gleaming coldly in the sunlight, extremely astonishing.

But what shocked Yun Hai and the others was not this giant golden eagle, but the strange insects chasing the mutated sky overlord raptor until it was bleeding profusely.
