Doomsday: My skills are becoming more and more abnormal

Chapter 32 Gene Crystal
  He chopped up the wardrobe and lit a fire upstairs. After briefly warming up, Lin Qi went downstairs and walked towards the central street.

It is difficult to find survivors in the city, but there are always survivors wandering around the central streets. Some want federal rescue help and go to the isolation and safety zone, and some have other purposes.

Following the footsteps of his predecessors, Lin Qi felt much more relaxed than before. When he came to a hotel, the snow cleared at the door made Lin Qi stop.

At this time, to determine whether there is anyone in the building, just look at the traces of snow in front of the door.

But when he kept getting closer, no one came out of the hotel, not even one on guard.

"Have everyone here left?"

Lin Qi thought of the personnel carrier he had just seen, and that it might be the people in the hotel that were being taken away, but he still opened the iron gate of the hotel and walked inside.

"No, the temperature here is a little abnormal!"

As soon as he entered the lobby, Lin Qi felt that the temperature here was several degrees higher than outside, and it even felt warm.

Feeling wary, he slowly pulled out the pistol from his waist and hid it in his sleeve.

This hotel is larger than the one in Zhao Tuantuan's house, but it is also an isolation point, with iron bars installed at the door.

"anyone there?"

Lin Qi shouted and stood next to the pillar in the lobby, covering half of his body.

After a few seconds, he didn't hear any reply, so he leaned out and searched inside.

Through the front hall, the snow in the backyard has been cleared to create a path that leads directly to the guest room area at the back.

"anyone there?"

Lin Qi asked a second time, but still received no response.

After taking a few steps forward, Lin Qi frowned at a familiar smell.

It was a fresh bloody smell, mixed with a weird rancid smell.

Pushing open the door to the guest room, the rancid smell of blood became stronger and stronger, and the temperature here was even higher than in the lobby in front.

Lin Qi touched the radiator in the corner and was surprised to find that it still felt warm.

"Is there a boiler here?"

Large hotels like this usually have separate heating systems. Only then did Lin Qi notice that the snow in a corner of the backyard had already melted.

The stairs seemed to be covered with a red carpet, which extended to the corner and led to the other side of the corridor. But as Lin Qi slowly approached, he saw that it was not a carpet at all, but the ground stained red with blood. .

The blood marks were densely packed, as if they were the footprints left by some animal, which made Lin Qi subconsciously think of the mutant rat he had seen a few days ago!
  "Why are these things everywhere?"

In fact, to be more realistic, the number of rats in a city is many times more than the number of humans in the city. They just hide in sewers or hidden places and rarely come out during the day.

Seeing these dense footprints, Lin Qi subconsciously wanted to leave here. After all, he had seen a few days ago that mutant rats would come out to look for food during the day.

Just when Lin Qi took a step back and planned to leave this dangerous place, there was a sudden noise from the corner of the stairs, and a gray head poked out.

Sure enough, a fat mutant mouse slowly climbed down the stairs. Its body, not counting its tail, actually occupied three steps!
  When the scarlet eyes saw Lin Qi, they suddenly showed a look of madness. With a squeak in his mouth, he rushed forward!

"My grass!"

If it were before the end of the world, even the biggest rats would run away in panic after seeing humans. It was the natural crushing of small creatures by large creatures.

But this guy's situation is a little special. His fear of humans has disappeared, and he seems to have regarded Lin Qi as his prey!

Lin Qi quickly retracted his pistol, grabbed the wooden bow on his back and shot an arrow. As soon as the mutated rat pounced in the air, the arrow shot out of the air! It instantly pierced its head and rolled to the ground.

"This mouse is bigger than a cat!"

The fur of this mutant rat was very smooth, and its long tail was like a steel needle, and even had a metallic sheen. After struggling on the ground for a few times, it stood still, but the tail was still curling. Moving.

Lin Qi stepped forward and quickly walked to the nearest room with the arrow in hand, closed the door tightly, took out the dagger and began to dissect.

After some operations, the entire mutant rat was dismembered into pieces, and even its head was cut in half, but the existence of the evolutionary crystal was still not found.

"In the post I read before, there is an evolutionary crystal in the brain of the mutant rat, but the chance is less than 1%. Could it be that such a big mutant rat is just an ordinary cub?"

Lin Qi was not disappointed. Even if he found the evolutionary crystal from the mutant rat's brain, he did not dare to use it. After all, he had a psychological resistance and always felt that this creature was unclean.

Lin Qi was even more alert when he walked out of the room again. Since a mutant rat could crawl down from upstairs, it proved that there were others of the same kind.

The survivors in this hotel were probably all attacked by a swarm of mutant rats, so no wonder they were silent.

He carefully climbed up to the second floor. The blood on the stairs felt sticky and stringy under his feet, making him very uncomfortable. Lin Qi slowed down and did not dare to make a sound.

When they arrived at the corridor on the second floor, the smell of blood was even stronger, along with the stench of the mutated rats. Under the heat, it felt like they had fallen into a cesspool.

As far as the eye could see, there were several bloody skeletons lying in the corridor, with several small mice crawling around on them, gnawing on the remains.

Sensing the aura of the stranger, the little mice immediately stood up alertly, staring fiercely at the intruder with a pair of scarlet eyes, as if trying to drive them away.

These little mice are all of normal size, but they can still be seen to be different from ordinary mice, giving people a very aggressive feeling.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

There was a rattle, with a chain reaction, and the remaining rats screamed crazily, even throwing away the pieces of meat in their mouths, and quickly rushed towards Lin Qi.

“There are only a dozen of them, so it’s not a big problem!”

As he used bows and arrows more often, Lin Qi's understanding of this cold weapon became deeper and deeper. He quickly drew arrows with his right hand, and the arrow shooting movements became almost coherent.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Arrows shot out of the air one after another, and before the mutated rats got within three meters of Lin Qi, they were pinned to the ground, screaming in agony.

"The vitality is really tenacious!"

Even if some mutant rats were shot through the head, they were not completely dead for a while and could still struggle a few times.

Lin Qi was not interested in dissecting the small mutated rat next to the arrow, until he found a different guy among these corpses.

It was a mutated rat that had lost all its hair. It was far smaller in size than the one on the stairs before, but it was obviously mutated in a special way. The muscles in its limbs were tight, like an elite rat that had been trained.

Its head was as big as a fist. When Lin Qi pulled out the arrow, he could clearly see a bright blood-red crystal inside its skull.

"Is this genetic crystallization?"

The gene crystal was picked out, and there were blood vessel-like filaments on it.

This genetic crystal is only the size of a soybean, like a ruby, giving people an inexplicable attraction.

Lin Qi crushed it with his foot to remove the remaining mucus and filaments, then picked it up and examined it carefully.
