The outskirts at night, desolate and quiet, the sky is pitch black, a bright moon shines brightly, its light pours down like water, casting a cold and lonely glow. At this time, a figure rushes by at high speed, so fast that it creates a whirlwind of dust behind it.

  Mù Xiāo had already left the city limits and entered a vast, uninhabited suburb. Zombies were rarely seen here, let alone mutated humans. So, he wasn't afraid of causing a commotion. His muscles revved up like a high-speed engine, and he directly accelerated to full speed, circling back to his residence from the outskirts. Although the route was a bit longer, it had the advantage of having no mutated monsters, which meant he didn't have to constantly be on guard against them in the city, where his speed couldn't be fully unleashed, and instead, his return progress would be even slower.

  Along the way, he encountered several lone wandering zombies, but Mu Xiao didn't even bother to pay attention to them, after all, those zombies couldn't keep up with his speed.

  When Mu Xi arrived at a big river, he stopped his extremely fast pace.

  The moonlight shines brightly on the rippling water, and the entire river is like a silver dragon swimming.

  Musha stood still for a while, not worried about what monsters were in the water, nor worried about how to cross this wide river. But because he had encountered the terrifying existence of the Aberrant Magic before, he had fully utilized his "Mind God Power" to hide his aura, which had caused his body to consume a lot of energy for almost a day and night. He also hadn't brought any food with him, and in order to quickly leave the city and not encounter the Aberrant Magic that might return again, he hadn't stopped to look for food even for a moment.

  So now he's seen this big river and caught the attention of those aquatic creatures in the water.

  "When crossing the river, those aquatic creatures will surely attack, and then counter-killing them will become my food."

  Mu Xiao didn't jump into the river as imagined, but instead shot out like a flying arrow, his footsteps light as cotton, his body seemingly as light as a feather. In an instant, he stepped onto the water's surface, sank down three inches, and then didn't continue to sink, but instead walked lightly in the water.

  Treading on water and floating on it is not a difficult thing to achieve, just like flying over the eaves and walking on walls. It's just one of the physical skills contained in the extraordinary physique of new humans, controlling blood gas, muscles, breathing, etc.

  Wave!

  Mù Xiāo walked about ten meters in the river, and a soft bubble sound came from the water. A beam of light like metal shot over quickly, but Mù Xiāo didn't make any evasive movements because a golden light flashed on his body, forming an energy shield like a gold steel plate that blocked the sharp water beam, producing a metallic collision sound.

  This water beam seemed to be a signal, and bubbles rose from the bottom of the water, as if the river was boiling. In an instant, silver-white water beams shot out like dense machine gun bullets, crazily hitting Mu Shao's body, but the "Golden Steel - Mechanical Inner Armor" had already been fully repaired. With a sweep of the miniature optical brain defense system, golden energy blocks of various sizes appeared in front, left, right, and even under Mu Shao's feet, completely blocking all the water beam attacks without a single drop leaking through.

  Patter patter patter patter...

  Like a sudden rain hitting an iron block, the golden energy plates rippled with one wave after another, but no matter how hard the water jets tried, they couldn't penetrate the defensive plate made of energy, unless these water jets had S-level or higher energy gun damage or penetration power. Otherwise, breaking through the A-level mechanical armor's energy defense system wasn't that easy.

  Mù xiāo still lightly stepped on the water surface, no matter how many water beams those underwater creatures emitted, they couldn't do anything to a golden energy panel's protection.

  Aquatic creatures couldn't stay submerged either, jumping out of the water one after another. Black scales and silver scales filled the air like a school of mutated fish monsters with sharp teeth and spikes, each as big as a strong man's arm, flying and biting at the golden energy blocks, but were all repelled by the energy's rigid impact.

  Splish splash!...

  One by one, the big fish monsters all bounced back into the river. If a long-range attack is used, the steel mechanical armor inside cannot bounce back, but as long as a physical attack is used, the mechanical armor inside will generate a hard impact force to bounce back.

  "The fish has taken the bait."

  Mu Xiao licked his lips, and his appetite gradually increased. He took out two high-frequency electromagnetic military knives and threw them forward. In an instant, the mental force connected and rose, driving the two military knives to intersect and kill among the fish monsters that were flying over. One by one, the fish monsters were pierced through their bodies. The mental force hooked up several fish monsters that fell down and then retracted the two military knives.

  These fish monsters don't have much evolutionary power source, at most they just have a dozen or so gene resonances, and there's no ability source, they're just a group of ordinary river fish that mutated into fish monsters. So, Muxiao doesn't want to kill too many fish monsters either, otherwise the river will be filled with thick bloodiness, which may bring unnecessary trouble.

  After landing, Mu Xiao found a large stone to sit on and didn't start a fire to roast the fish. Instead, he used his military knife, which hadn't been activated with energy, to quickly scrape off the scales, remove the inedible internal organs, cut the fish into pieces of flesh, and swallow them raw into his abdomen.

  Sweet and refreshing, chewy and elastic, full of rich fish gelatin.

  Several fish monsters fell into the wooden bucket, and a warm and comfortable warmth swirled through every cell in his body, and the vitality that had consumed not a small amount of blood gas gradually became active.

  "What a pity that I couldn't catch a few for Xuan Yin to try, she would definitely be able to make an even more delicious fish dish." Mu Xiao thought of his little sister's culinary skills and couldn't help but feel nostalgic and hungry. However, catching a live mutant creature and carrying it around wasn't a wise move, and even if he killed it, the bloody smell would be overwhelming, not to mention that there was nothing to load it into, so he had no choice but to give up on this idea.

  Having eaten enough to fill his stomach, Mu Xiao felt full of energy and vitality, ready to set off on the return journey.

  Suddenly, a gigantic snake head emerged from the river water, like a crocodile, spitting out bright red blood, instantly detecting the bloody smell on the wooden bridge above. In an instant, it burst into a black lightning bolt, dragging its long and massive snake waist, rapidly slithering and moving, as if a black lightning bolt had struck, fiercely emitting a sharp "hiss" roar, suddenly distorting the air, and a high-frequency sonic wave shook out.

  The mutated water snake had just poked its head out, making a slight exploratory sound, and Mu Xiao was extremely sensitive to the danger in the water, instantly preparing to retreat quickly.

  Once high-frequency sound waves hit the brain, it will be dizzy and blurred vision.

  However, Muxiao had complete control over every inch of his body's muscles, easily controlling his ears like closing his eyes at will, and without using his hands, he could cover both ears with ease. Even the small muscles inside his ears bulged up into a lump, blocking the ear canal, completely isolating the sonic impact and reducing its power to the lowest level.

  A gigantic mutated snake stood up several meters high, like a black wall, with its majestic giant head held high, opening its bloody mouth wide, revealing sharp fangs that shone with cold light, as if to swallow everything in its path, accompanied by a fierce and pungent wind, swallowing the location of Mu Shao.

  "Eating a few fish unexpectedly encountered a mutant water snake, it must have been attracted by the ripples and blood smell just now..."

  Mù xiāo yī shùn jiān qīng chǔ le lái lóng qù mài, jī fā chū niàn lì, qū dòng le liǎng bǎ léi shè shǒu qiāng, líng huó yóu zǒu de jī shè chū yí dào dào guāng shù, shuāng shǒu zhōng chōu qǔ dà tuǐ liǎng biān de gāo zhèn dàng diàn cí jūn dāo, bù fá yǔ jí sù jié hé, huà chéng jí qí guài yì kuài jié, ér piāo hū bù dìng de shǎn duò dòng zuò, wán quán zhǎng kòng le biàn yì shuǐ shé de jìn gōng jié zòu.

  At this moment, he exerted his "Fighting Control" combat consciousness to the greatest extent.

  At the same time, he possessed the extraordinary shooting accuracy of "weapon control", even if it was a telekinetic control of two ray guns, he could still shoot out each beam of rays in an instant, hitting the same position on the mutated water snake's body. Even if the mutated water snake's scales had excellent defensive capabilities, they couldn't withstand the intense and fierce beams of light, which would eventually burn through the scales and create a bloody hole.

  "It's actually fifty times genetic resonance, and the physical body also has a top-notch heavy industry. It turns out that there are extremely rich carnivorous resources under the water."

  The wooden thorn leapt up, dodging the giant snake tail that swept violently, the knife light flashed, and the super-frequency activation of the component's power in the weapon burst out, a lightning bolt suddenly rose three inches, like thunder and lightning piercing through, nailing the seven-inch spine of the mutated water snake.

  Hiss!

  Enormous pain, the massive waist of the mutated water snake continuously rolled and slapped the ground, stirring up a large amount of mud. Mu Shuo had just landed on the ground and didn't even have time to dodge, when the chaotic and disordered giant snake tail directly swept over with a powerful force.

  However, the golden steel mechanical inner armor on Mu Xiao's body generated a thick golden energy block in time, blocking the giant snake tail's heavy blow. The impact force exceeded the energy defense force, and the golden light block was directly shattered into residual light. However, the force of the snake tail had weakened by one layer, sweeping across Mu Xiao's body. The mechanical inner armor inside had already condensed the energy to protect the main body. In the end, only about 1,000 kilograms of impact force landed on Mu Xiao's body, which was completely within his physical tolerance range.

  "Take this!"

  Mu Xiao's body was struck by the thick and large snake tail, his face didn't turn red, his heart didn't skip a beat, he only retreated several steps, but instead his whole body's blood and energy surged like a galloping wild horse, suddenly bursting out, one heavy punch containing pure physical strength, as hard as steel, violently and fiercely, heavily hitting the mutated water snake's scales, instantly a cluster of bloody flesh and scales splashed out.

  However, the mutated water snake's blood and energy were extremely vigorous, with a strong vitality. The wound on Mu Shuo's fist was healing, but the mutated water snake had an electromagnetic military knife stuck in its upper body, which continued to withstand the electrical shocks emanating from the knife, greatly affecting its movement speed.

  "It can only slowly grind to death this mutated water snake, but in order to ensure that it won't give up halfway, first get rid of its agile crawling speed and lure it away from the riverbank." Mu Xiao didn't want to hit a half-dead mutated water snake, suddenly bursting into full-speed escape, once the mutated water snake fell into the river water, he could only stare helplessly.

  Mu Shao struck out with a series of high-speed fist silhouettes, like a fierce wind and raging flames, as if a thunderbolt was bursting forth.

  The scales of the mutated water snake were torn apart, revealing its brutal and ferocious nature. A strong gust of wind blew, and a massive dark shadow enveloped the light.

  Muxiao's body quickly dodged and weaved, constantly changing positions to avoid the mutated water snake's massive tail. At the same time, his mind was racing, controlling two ray guns in mid-air, firing high-temperature beams that shot out like a malignant tumor, targeting those blurry wounds. Soon, a savory smell of charred meat wafted through the air.

  Silk!

  The mutated water snake's voice changed, and a huge mouth sprayed out a dense rain of toxic liquid. Those two sinister black gemstone pupils shot out a strange gaze.

  A scene like water appears in front of me, floating and uncertain, as if my body is also light and floating, as if I have fallen into the water and cannot exert any strength...

  "Phantom power! Give me destruction!"

  Muxiao's mental power suddenly turned, and the scene in front of him returned to normal. However, a strong toxic liquid had already rushed towards him. A golden light flashed, and a golden energy shield appeared in front of Muxiao, blocking the highly corrosive toxin. The energy shield emitted a burst of green smoke and made a sizzling sound as it corroded, rapidly depleting its energy.
