Evolution game, nothing more than that!

But Yi Shen felt something was wrong.

“There are too few people!”

"what?"

Yamasaki An looked at him with some confusion.

"I mean, we encountered too few players!"

Yi Shen looked at Yamasaki An and spoke seriously.

The girl didn't understand at first, but after thinking about it for a while, she realized the problem.

Yes, time has advanced to the seventh day, and the survival circle has shrunk a lot. Theoretically, in such a small range, many players should be forced to gather together and fight each other.

However, the two of them had encountered very few players during this period of time, which was completely inconsistent with the previous inference.

"Perhaps, they fought each other in the previous battle and almost all of them died?"

Yamasaki An said speculatively.

"No, that's not right!"

Yi Shen shook his head:

"If there really were so much fighting, we should all have noticed it. The terrain of this island is not complicated, and the sound of gunfire can be heard from far away. Have you ever heard so many gunshots before?"

"……No."

As Yamasaki An spoke, her expression turned suspicious.

As for the possibility that all the players were wiped out when the circle shrank, she also understood that the probability was very small, so she did not consider it.

"So, what exactly happened?"

The sense of security that Yi Shen had always protected her was suddenly gone. She seemed to be able to sense that there was an unknown monster on this island, quietly devouring the lives of all the players...

"Okay, it's good to maintain a sense of crisis, but don't think too much!"

Yi Shen woke up the girl who was immersed in her own imagination of scaring herself and said:

"The most likely scenario is that somewhere, unnoticed by us, a powerful player quietly eliminated the vast majority of the other players. This is indeed bad news, but you must also have faith in our strength. No matter how powerful the enemy is, they are ultimately just a member of this 'Newcomer Trial' and cannot be overly powerful!"

Hearing the man's comfort, Yamasaki An finally felt a little relieved.

However, she no longer dared to act with the mentality of a picnic as before, but instead followed Yi Shen closely, always alert to any movement around her.

……

ninth day.

The survival circle has shrunk very small, and Yi Shen and Yamasaki An finally encountered an enemy that can be called a "strong enemy".

Da da da!

A volley of bullets was fired, leaving bullet holes in the wall, but the original target had left that position long before the bullets were fired.

The next second, a metal arm holding a gun stretched out from another window a few meters away, and bullets shot out one after another, hitting the elemental shield around Yi Shen and causing tiny ripples.

He immediately turned the gun around and pulled the trigger, but just like every time before, the enemy was no longer there.

Yes, the one who is fighting fiercely with Yi Shen is none other than the Winter Soldier who impressed him at the very beginning, Bucky Barnes!

It’s not that Yi Shen intended to be an enemy of the other party, but the Winter Soldier was a little nervous. As soon as he discovered the traces of the two of them, he opened fire.

Yi Shen, who was hit by a volley of bullets, was not the kind of person who would just take a beating without fighting back. He immediately fought back strongly.

But, logically speaking, with his mastery of elemental forces, shouldn't he have easily defeated the Winter Soldier, who was only slightly stronger, faster, and had a metal arm? Why was the fight so inconclusive?

The reason is very simple - because this is their home ground!

This is a camp in the center of the island, and it is also the stronghold chosen by the Winter Soldier from the beginning.

Yi Shen and Dong Bing were currently occupying one side of two dormitory buildings that were not far apart.

It’s not that Yi Shen doesn’t want to rush directly into the building opposite and kill the opponent with lightning at close range, but the problem is that when it comes to tactical proficiency, Winter Soldier is really far ahead of Yi Shen.

After noticing his attempt to close the distance, the opponent refused to confront him at all, and instead played hide-and-seek with him using their agile skills and endless traps.

The elemental vision originally used for reconnaissance was completely useless in the environment inside this building. Layers of walls completely blocked the energy radiation from the Winter Soldier, making it impossible for Yi Shen to find him.

The consequences of blind pursuit are also very serious.

Once, Yi Shen rushed in too hastily and was almost buried alive by the collapsed building. Fortunately, the elemental shield was strong enough to temporarily support the falling building debris. Then he was able to activate the cellular force field and rush out from it with super explosive power.

——Being buried alive may not kill him, but he will definitely lose the ability to resist. If the other party throws a fire bomb or something next to him and burns all the oxygen nearby, Yi Shen may not be able to survive!

Chapter 18: Alien Species Attack!

After suffering a loss once, Yi Shen no longer dared to step into the opponent's territory easily.

Even the floor he currently occupies was only occupied after he had carefully checked it many times before he finally felt at ease to do so, and he did not dare to move easily.

But this also meant that he could no longer get close to the Winter Soldier, and could only use this gun-fighting method to fight with the opponent.

Well, some people may ask, why not use RPG? Just shoot it straight away.

In fact, Yi Shen had already used it!

Unfortunately, it's of no use.

I don't know if the opponent is strong enough or has quick reactions, but after a few RPG shots, there is quite a lot of noise, with smoke and dust billowing and bricks and stones flying. But not long after, a volley of bullets will be fired from a window in another place, letting Yi Shen know that the opponent was not killed.

So Yi Shen stopped wasting ammunition and while fighting with the enemy, he was thinking about how to defeat the enemy.

Use lightning to forcibly cross the distance between two buildings and kill the opponent remotely?

It’s a nice thought, but unfortunately it can’t be done.

Yi Shen's current method of releasing lightning strikes is very crude, and the attack range is only a dozen meters at most. It is impossible for him to cross the distance of dozens of meters between two buildings.

So, relying on the powerful explosive force of the cellular force field, you can jump over and attack the opponent head-on when he shows his head?

It is possible, but it is hard to guarantee that it will not be another trap.

The previous building collapse trap really left Yi Shen with some psychological trauma, and he didn't want to be buried again.

After a while of struggling, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a few pieces of C4 in Yamasaki An's backpack - otherwise, why not just try to kill the opponent with a pile of equivalent?

The C4 bombs in the bag weigh nearly five kilograms in total. If they were all detonated at once, it should be no problem to blow down half of the building. Even if the enemy cannot be killed, they should be able to be buried alive!

However, before Yi Shen could implement this plan, an accident suddenly occurred.

Just in the interval of the attack, gunshots were heard again from the Winter Soldier's side, but strangely, it was not aimed at Yi Shen.

Yi Shen looked inside. Although he couldn't see the specific situation inside, he could judge from the firelight reflected from the wall that the other party should be fighting with other enemies inside the room.

what's the situation?

Someone stole the chrysanthemums across the street?

However, before he could gloat over his misfortune, he suddenly heard Yamasaki An's scream from behind him:

"Yeah!"

He quickly turned around and immediately saw the girl being slapped away by a humanoid creature with an exoskeleton and bone spurs on its back, and smashed into the wall not far away.

Fortunately, Yamasaki An subconsciously curled up her body and hit the wall with her back. With the protection of the enhanced suit, she should be fine.

Looking at the monster again, Yi Shen raised his hand without hesitation and fired a volley of bullets, and the opponent was instantly riddled with bullet holes.

But soon, the flesh and blood in the bullet holes began to wriggle and heal rapidly, and soon everything was back to normal.

"The same rapid regeneration ability as mine..."

Yi Shen was not very surprised. After all, this ability was not very rare.

"The bullet seems useless, so what about this?"

He threw away the gun and a blinding bolt of lightning shot out from his hand, striking the monster that was flying towards him.

The scorching electric light instantly engulfed the monster's body. The strong electric current directly and violently destroyed every cell in its body. No matter how powerful its regenerative ability was, it could not be used at this moment.

Looking at the monster lying on the ground and twitching, Yi Shen showed no mercy. He kept blasting lightning in his hand until he smelled the burnt aroma of protein, and then he finally stopped.

Only then did he finally have the mind to observe the monster carefully.

He found that this thing looked somewhat familiar.

After thinking about it for a while, I finally realized that this seemed to be, an alien species?

Alien, not alien.

This is both the name of a film series and a reference to the monster in the film.

It is a hybrid creature artificially created by human scientists by combining alien genes with human genes.

The purpose of its existence is to reproduce. It only takes a very short period of time for a young alien species to grow into an adult.

At this time, driven by genetic instinct, they will immediately look for suitable opposite-sex mates and give birth to offspring that are as perfect as possible. Because their gestation and growth periods are extremely short, they can multiply a large population in a short period of time. If they are allowed to spread, it will easily lead to a population explosion, and eventually completely drain a civilization's resources. It can be called a "cancer of civilization"!

They have two forms, humanoid and monster.

In human form, each alien species has a perfect body and appearance, and has a fatal attraction to humans of the opposite sex.

The monster form is just like the one in front of you, with a shell-like exoskeleton all over the body, bone spurs on the back, sharp teeth and claws, and looks extremely ferocious.

Their fighting ability is also quite impressive. Relying on their bodies that are stronger and more agile than humans, if both are unarmed, an alien can kill a human in just a few seconds without any effort.

Of course, most of the time they rely on their outstanding appearance to seduce humans of the opposite sex, and then kill them after mating with them. At this time, humans basically have no ability to resist.

"An alien species has appeared in the game... Could it be that one of the players is an alien species themselves?"

Yi Shen was thinking so, but then he heard a clattering sound coming from the wall outside the building, as if something was climbing.

When he looked up, he saw several more alien species crawling in from the broken window, roaring and attacking the two people in the room.

"Fuck! There's more than one?!"

Yi Shen did not hesitate at all, and thunder struck again. The dazzling lightning turned into continuously jumping lightning chains, bouncing back and forth between several alien species, knocking them down in a moment.

At the same time, Yi Shen himself hurried to Yamasaki An's side and protected her, who was still dizzy, with his shield to prevent her from being attacked by the enemy again like just now.

"How's it going? Are you okay?"

He asked the girl.

"I, I'm fine..."

Yamasaki An shook her head and started fighting with the support of Yi Shen.

The reinforced suit protected her very well. Apart from the dizziness caused by the inertia of the impact, her body did not suffer any injuries.

After a short pause, she returned to normal.

Then she immediately saw several monsters lying on the ground.

"What are these monsters? Are there such things in this game?"

She asked somewhat startled.

She originally thought that this game was just a confrontation between people, but she never expected that it would suddenly turn into a horror movie with monsters. The sneak attack just now almost scared her soul away!

"This is a different species, some kind of half-human, half-alien hybrid monster, suspected to have been born by a player."

Yi Shen answered briefly.

Chapter 19: Alien Disaster

At the beginning, Yi Shen thought that the alien who launched the first sneak attack was the alien player himself.

But after seeing more alien monsters, he realized the truth of the matter - these aliens were not the player, but the other party's children born in this game!

Yes, the reproduction rate of alien species is so outrageous.

It only takes a few hours for the alien embryo to mature and be born from the mother's body.

As long as there is enough biomass, the newly born alien larvae can grow to adult size in just a few days and possess intelligence comparable to or even superior to that of adult humans.

The only thing that limits their reproduction speed is the opposite sex used for breeding.

If they mate with the same sex or species, it is easy because they are of the same species and can reproduce continuously.

But if alien species reproduce with humans, the human party will often be killed by the alien species in the end.
