19 ◇The Crazy One◇ (1/2)

Lu Xing had walked around and seen nothing else out of the norm. Having reached the barn once again, he went to the carcass. Kneeling down, he lit a flame, and dug into the things head...

After a few seconds, he found what he was searching for.

'This thing really surprised me. Not all animals had turned into Mutants after all...just as not all humans turned into Mutants,' Lu Xing mused, 'Only a small percentage became mutants.'

And all mutants came with cores.

Lu Xing took a look at the golden colored core...it was larger than the Ghoul core he had. It was actually the size of a goose egg, which was more than he could've hoped for. Studying the Mutant Cat, he could see it had grown from being a stray cat into a mutation the size of a puma...the thick glossy pelt and sharp claws...

Most noticeable...had to be the spikes running along the jawline, and the tiny horns located an inch above the ears.

'A level 2 Mutant Cat.' Lu Xing thought feeling more unsettled.

He knew the mutations had been occurring over time, but even so...he hadn't realized how quickly it had actually happened.

”It can't be helped.” Lu Xing said feeling sorry for the creature.

It had once been a normal everyday stray...

Lu Xing used his flame on the carcass, and within minutes the thing was nothing more than ash. The flame had singed nothing else... Even Lu Xing didn't quite grasp how the logic behind his flame worked, only that it could burn up whatever he wielded it to burn alone. He believed the ability derived more from a mental mutation than a physical mutation...

Still...

'I should give up trying to make sense of this ability.' Lu Xing thought with a sigh. 'Luckily this big guy hadn't had the chance to develop his abilities...otherwise I would've been forced to use alot more than just a gun against it.'

He stared briefly at the golden core before pocketing it into a side pocket.

The truth was...after discovering that there was a possibility of others having arrived here to a similar situation as him, had him on edge.This has begun making him hesitant in showing off his abilities.With his weak constitution, Lu Xing feared he'd quickly become prey to a reincarnated Evolutionary...most had been at high levels by the time he had perished...

And this...he could not allow.

”I'll get stronger...” Lu Xing muttered out as his expression darkened,”Then I'll...”

A smirk appeared on his face as he stood, and turned...

By the time he had left the barn, his expression was once again collected.

'That crazy one...' His thoughts turning to another issue he would probably have to deal with sooner or later, 'Chu Hau.'

☆☆☆

The Chu Hau of whom Lu Xing was thinking about, was actually walking down a busy street while humming out a rather soothing tune.

She kept on looking up at the sky, her violet eyes sparked with an interest that made little sense to most bystanders.When she passed by people, they would instantly stare as though their eyes couldn't help but be drawn to her. Even other women couldn't stop from looking at her...

The charisma this Chu Hau carried was high.

Suddenly she gave a rather seductive smile to a woman walking by. The woman was stunned, it was as though an enchantment had been cast over her. Though not far from the truth...
