"Lin Qingsong?"
Zhang Chen frowned.
Didn't this guy die?
Guan Xin herself had thrown his head in front of him.
The system and prompts had confirmed there were no issues.
This guy couldn't possibly still be alive!
Lin Qingsong let out a sinister smile, pulled out a dagger, held it to Zhao Xiyue's neck, and slowly faded back into the mist.
"This guy..."
A sudden impulse rose in Zhang Chen's heart, making him want to rush into the dense fog.
At this moment, from the core of the meteorite, a pure white energy began to slowly devour the incoming blue energy.
Zhang Chen then shook his head, regaining his composure.
Zhao Xiyue, who was far away, and a dead man, how could they appear here at the same time?
Zhang Chen turned to look for Xiaobai, only to find Xiaobai gone.
It had likely charged into the dense fog.
If Zhang Chen were to charge in at this moment, he would inevitably clash with Xiaobai.
Close call!
This hallucinatory ability was incredibly powerful, unlike the previous hallucinogenic toxins that made one dream of entering another scene.
Instead, it directly injected mental fantasies into the real scene, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.
Even more terrifying, even if one could rationally discern that these were not real, the biological energy that drilled into the body would drive one to make impulsive decisions.
Zhang Chen then looked at the hiding spots of Er Pang and Xiao Ruan.
If Xiao Ruan were to be hallucinated, the effect would be quite terrifying, instantly draining everyone's biological energy.
Er Pang was seen tilting its head, looking at Xiaobai pacing at the edge of the fog with a puzzled expression.
There was no one around her, who was she talking to?
The Spider Queen wove a large net between the two buildings, lying lazily on it, resting her head on her hands as she gazed at the stars.
It seemed as if none of the surrounding events concerned her.
Shirley, holding a dagger, stared intently at the fog with a grave expression.
They were not affected.
Zhang Chen activated his Absolute Sight, and only then did he discover.
The energy drifting from the fog was instantly absorbed by Xiao Ruan as it approached her.
Xiao Ruan fed on energy, so at this moment, it was blissfully happy, as if the energy tasted good~
Good heavens, while Zhang Chen was preparing for a fight, Xiao Ruan was already having a feast?!
Zhang Chen then looked at Xu Ruina and the surrounding army of cleaners.
The energy threads emanating from the dense fog had little effect on the cleaners because they had no independent consciousness and were completely obedient, more akin to robots.
So even if they saw illusions, they would not react without instructions being issued.
From the energy cores of these cleaners, a faint, flickering energy thread extended to Xu Ruina.
It was as if these cleaners were puppet dolls controlled by someone, and Xu Ruina was the master pulling the strings.
"She can also control the army of cleaners?"
Zhang Chen pondered for a moment and quickly figured it out.
No wonder the natives used Xu Ruina's clone to control the infected, because her本体 possessed an overwhelmingly powerful mental control ability!
Xu Ruina was the most perfect gene product!
As for the other clones, they were merely inferior imitations made by the natives' clumsy attempts!
The energy threads that affected the mind were ineffective against the cleaners, and their effect on Xu Ruina was even more minimal.
She was an expert in mental control, and their strengths were evenly matched, so the energy cancelled each other out.
As for the infected, they were all firmly controlled by Xu Ruina and the cleaners.
The dense fog could do nothing to them.
A moment later, Xiaobai leaped out of the dense fog with a "swoosh," returning to the stone path intersection where Zhang Chen had designated, staring excitedly at the fog.
Her super-adaptive ability made her immune to the mental interference of the fog.
"Ugh... Ah... Wuwuwu..."
A sound like the cries of a wailing person mixed with painful roars came from the dense fog.
Its released mental control was devoured by Zhang Chen, eaten by Xiao Ruan, adapted to by Xiaobai, and neutralized by Xu Ruina...
It was likely that this monster, having rampaged in the apocalypse for so long, had never been so humiliated.
A strong sense of frustration made it furious to the point of madness—if it truly had emotions...
"Heh, without mental illusions, what skills do you have left!"
Zhang Chen slowly advanced into the dense fog along the shadows.
Activate Absolute Sight!
This time, the figures within the dense fog were completely exposed to Zhang Chen's view.
The Zhao Xiyue he had seen before was completely an illusion, while what he saw now was the monster's real, tangible body.
A barefoot woman was seen walking slowly on the ground, her head tilted.
The clothes she wore were so dirty that their original color was indistinguishable, stains and fabric fused together, clinging to her body like hard armor.
Her hair was a tangled mess, looking like it hadn't been washed in a long time, clumped together haphazardly.
If not for the purple veins showing beneath her pale skin, Zhang Chen would have mistaken her for a native!
At this moment, a prompt slowly appeared:
Name: Rare·Singer (Monsters with the word "Rare" indicate their global existence count is less than 5)
Type: Mutated vi-type infected, its level increases with the more energy cores harvested
Skills:
【Soul Tremor Song】: The song contains mental control energy. Anyone who hears the song will have mental energy stored in their energy core, generating illusions (except for energy that has been neutralized or devoured).
【Death Harvest】: The Singer can recall released mental energy. If the target is already dead, it will extract all energy cores from the target's body and return them to the Singer's本体.
【Intermediate Aggregation】: The Singer can aggregate absorbed cores. 3000 【Energy Cores】 condense into one 【Convergent Core】, and 3000 【Convergent Cores】 condense into one 【Super Convergent Core】, and so on. The automatically synthesized core level is equivalent to the Singer's current mutation level. The currently synthesized core level is 【Super Convergent Core】!
【Energy Conversion】: Can convert biological energy into physical attacks, and simultaneously consume biological energy to greatly enhance its combat power.
【Soul Transference】: Upon death, the Singer will revive in a lifeform possessing mental energy, inheriting that lifeform's mutation level. Can be activated 3 times in a lifetime, current activation count: 0 times!
Hiss...
Seeing these skill descriptions, Zhang Chen suddenly felt a sense of familiarity!
【Death Harvest】? Isn't that very similar to 【Auto-Collection】?
And this 【Intermediate Aggregation】 is also very similar to 【Energy Extraction】 from the Awakener stage...
The description of 【Energy Conversion】 also greatly resembles 【Soul Burn】...
Such an existence is actually an infected!
