Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 155 Grizzly Bear's Wish
Duan Lei now held a large loudspeaker, shouting into it. The entire shopping mall was full of survivors, all moving quickly. From above, they looked like busy ants.
Even the Shenxing Team members had rushed into the shopping area to carry supplies, because all the vehicles outside were ready. The selected vehicles were lined up, and several were already filled with white fuel drums, filled with fuel siphoned from other cars.
As for external security, it was still the responsibility of Grey Bear and Duan Xue. That's right, Duan Xue had already awakened. This time, her coma only lasted five minutes before she woke up, but her body was still weak. However, being an Awakened, even in a weakened state, she was much stronger than ordinary people.
Li Chenzhou was right. Duan Xue had indeed fallen into a weakened state after using her skill. In fact, it should have just been weakness, similar to Duan Lei's exhaustion of mental energy, leaving him powerless.
However, Duan Xue activated both her skill and her talent at the same time, so at the end, she directly fell into a daze. Fortunately, she actively canceled her talent skill after the skill ended, so she woke up after five minutes.
The main reason why Duan Xue didn't want to tell Li Chenzhou about her skill before was actually because of her talent skill:
Talent, Passive: Strength Controller, strength attribute is at maximum value and doubled; Active, Heavenly Descent: After activation, the body size increases sharply, and all attributes are doubled, lasting for one minute. It can be used once per natural day. After the skill ends, the user will fall into a weakened state.
Skill: Slaughter Time: Release the killing intent in the heart, enter a berserk, bloodthirsty state, current strength value is doubled, lasts for one minute, cooldown is one hour.
Just as Li Chenzhou judged, Duan Xue's skill and talent could actually overlap and stack. This kind of stacking was not as simple as one plus one equals two.
Duan Xue first released the skill Slaughter Time, so at that time, her strength had already reached 80 points. The reason why Li Chenzhou was only knocked away by a punch instead of killed was not because of luck, but because Duan Xue, despite the drastic change in personality due to the berserk, bloodthirsty state, still remembered that Li Chenzhou was one of her own, so she held back.
That's right, the reason why Duan Xue changed so much before was because of the berserk, bloodthirsty state attached to the Slaughter Time skill. In this state, a person becomes extremely belligerent, and may attack at any time, even their own people. This may be the necessary restriction of this powerful skill.
Afterwards, Duan Xue was stimulated by being unable to hit Li Chenzhou, and actually activated her talent skill, Heavenly Descent. This skill was even more abnormal than Slaughter Time, directly doubling all attributes. Therefore, Duan Xue's strength at that time had reached a terrifying 160!
This was the reason why she was able to lift a several-ton off-road vehicle with one hand. A strength attribute of 160 points was already the upper limit of the attributes of a level four Awakened.
Although the duration of this skill was only one minute, Duan Xue was equivalent to being invincible within that minute, and could completely fight beyond her level. And one minute was enough time to do many things.
Of course, as a price, this talent skill could not only be activated once a day, but would also cause a weakened state after the skill ended. In other words, Duan Xue could not use this skill when she was alone, otherwise, after the skill ended, she might face death.
The reason why Duan Xue blushed at the time was because she saw that the Heavenly Descent skill would cause her body size to increase sharply after activation. She had also watched the Avengers, and she was certainly familiar with the Hulk's transformation. That guy's clothes would be completely torn every time he transformed.
Duan Xue was, after all, a girl, and one who had never been in love, so as long as she thought that once she used her talent skill, she would be as exposed as if she had just stepped out of the bathroom, she basically completely gave up on this skill!
When Li Chenzhou asked her to use her skill, Duan Xue activated Slaughter Time, because she didn't know that the berserk, bloodthirsty state would turn her into another person, and she even activated her talent skill directly in that state.
Fortunately, the final result was not bad, at least she didn't expose anything, but...
Duan Xue sat on the roof of a car, guarding the surroundings while thinking about what she had said before, her face almost burning hot enough to fry eggs.
"Little mouse, little bug, kid... Oh my god! What am I..."
Duan Xue was a little desperate. She even had the urge to slip away immediately and never see anyone from this team again.
Seeing Duan Xue's expression, Grey Bear came to the side of the car, chewing on a piece of grass in his mouth, looking ahead, and asked:
"You know? Since the day I saw you, I never thought that one day, I would actually see you grab an off-road vehicle and smash it at me!"
"I'm sorry..."
Grey Bear's words almost made Duan Xue cry. She buried her head in her arms and apologized with a sob.
"Hahahaha!"
Unexpectedly, Grey Bear burst into laughter:
"Don't worry, I'm not here to settle accounts with you, but to ask if you have any money on you?"
"Money?"
Duan Xue raised her head, staring at Grey Bear with wide eyes. It's the apocalypse, you wouldn't be asking for money as compensation, would you?
"Yeah, got any money?"
Grey Bear nodded vigorously.
"No!"
Duan Xue shook her head.
"Here you go!"
Grey Bear had already prepared, and held out his hand to Duan Xue. Duan Xue took it, and it turned out to be a dozen coins. She was a little confused, and looked at Grey Bear blankly.
"Before, the captain asked us what we wanted to do after we retired!"
Grey Bear turned his head to look in the direction of Leopard:
"Those brothers had all sorts of ideas. Some wanted to be police officers, some wanted to start companies. Leopard said at the time... he wanted to start a security company and have the brothers follow him, hehe...
"And when it was my turn, I told the captain that after I retired, I would definitely rest for two years before considering anything else. If I could meet someone who suddenly went crazy and smashed me with money, cars, and houses, then I wouldn't have to do anything!"
Saying that, Grey Bear looked at Duan Xue:
"Never mind the house, you can definitely lift it, but I definitely can't handle it, so, smash me with money again, and my wish will be fulfilled."
"Pfft!"
Looking at Grey Bear's serious expression, Duan Xue couldn't help but laugh, and Grey Bear also laughed, patted the hood of the car and turned to leave, saying:
"If I were you, I would be extremely happy right now, because my skills are very powerful, and they can allow me to live longer in this damned world. As for everything else... compared to the lives of myself and my loved ones, it's not worth mentioning at all!!!"
Listening to Grey Bear's words, Duan Xue subconsciously turned her head to look at Duan Lei, who was loudly commanding in the shopping mall. After watching for a while, she suddenly smiled, then stood up, looked at the distant horizon, and took a deep breath...
