The last days：Domination

接下来的几天模糊成了一场疯狂的生存,因为亚当和莫妮卡在城市的废墟中移动,一直在寻找补给.但现在,亚当的内心发生了一些变化.他的感官更敏锐,他的身体更敏捷,他的头脑以一种他从未见过的强度集中注意力.水晶核心的作用不仅仅是增强他的能力——它还唤醒了他内心深处的东西,某种原始的东西.他能感觉到力量在增长,等待着被驾驭.
莫妮卡也注意到了其中的不同.她不再用同样警惕的好奇心看着他;现在,她的目光中多了些东西,某种像尊重的东西.
自从世界分崩离析以来,亚当第一次让自己感受到了一丝希望.他不仅仅是活着了——他正在成为更多的东西.而这仅仅是个开始.
但世界末日是一位残酷的老师,亚当知道,无论他变得多么强大,外面的世界都充满了危险,即使是他新获得的能力也无法保证免受保护.水晶给了他力量,但真正的挑战是学习如何控制它-以及如何存活足够长的时间以变得更强大.
"我们需要找到更多的晶体,"一天早上,当他们穿过曾经繁华的市中心的骨骼遗迹时,Adam 说.
莫妮卡扬起眉毛,瞥了他一眼."更多?"
Adam点点头,他的眼睛扫视着地平线."水晶是解锁更多力量的关键.如果我们能多得到一些,我就能进一步提升我的能力.我们需要找到一个来源.
莫妮卡看起来若有所思."我们甚至从哪里开始寻找?到目前为止,你找到的很少而且相距甚远.
"我知道,"Adam 回答,他的声音很坚定."但我一直在思考.感染者并不是唯一携带这些晶体的人.一些变异程度较高的生物—也就是我们一直避免的那些—更有可能拥有它们.附近有个地方我听说过.一家医院.据说这里到处都是这些生物,那些变异得更远的生物.
莫妮卡的表情变得阴沉起来."你是建议我们去那里?"
亚当与她的目光相遇."是的.我已经与普通僵尸战斗过,但如果我想真正释放我的潜力,我需要更进一步.我们需要那些更高级别的水晶,我们要得到它们.
莫妮卡仔细考虑了他的话."我相信你.但这并不容易,Adam.风险——"
"我知道,"Adam打断了他,语气坚决."但我们别无选择.这是唯一的出路.
莫妮卡叹了口气,显然对这个决定并不满意,但明白它的必要性."我跟着你.但我们需要一个计划.这个地方到处都是危险的.
亚当转身面对她,他的目光冰冷而专注."我们不需要一个完美的计划.我们只需要继续前进.相信我.
说完,他们向城市郊区的废弃医院出发.Adam 不知道等待他们的是什么,但他的脑海中已经充满了可能性.如果他们能获得那些更高级别的水晶,他就可以升级自己的力量,开始成为他需要的力量.这不仅仅是现在的生存——这是迈向统治的第一步.
医院是一个可怕的景象.它高大而威严,像一个无声的哨兵矗立在这座废墟城市上,它的窗户被打碎,它的入口被瓦砾堵住了.当他们接近大楼时,Adam 的直觉开始超速运转.他能感觉到有什么东西在看着他们,有什么东西在等待着他们.
莫妮卡警惕地环顾四周."我们被跟踪了."
亚当点点头."保持靠近,但除非必要,否则不要交战."
他们继续向前走,诡异的寂静像浓雾一样包围着他们.医院的门半开着,Adam 可以看到里面微弱的动静轮廓.他的感官处于高度警觉状态-他能感觉到空气中的震动,能听到脚步的微弱拖曳,以及潜伏在其中的变异生物的轻柔咆哮.
"这个地方有味道,"莫妮卡低声说,她跨过一堆残骸时捂着鼻子.
亚当没有回应.他太专注了.这家医院已经废弃多年,但仍然有一些东西让人感觉...活 着.而且不仅仅是感染者.
当他们进入大楼时,腐烂和腐烂的气味一波又一波地袭来.破损的医疗设备散落在地板上,血迹在墙壁上留下痕迹,诉说着这里发生的事情的可怕故事.但亚当并不关心过去——他专注于现在.
一楼安静得出奇.但当他们深入医院时,空气中弥漫着紧张的气氛.亚当能感觉到附近的生物,它们低沉的咆哮声在墙壁上回荡.他们很近——太近了.
突然,大厅里传来一声巨响.亚当的心跳加快了,他示意莫妮卡退后.
He moved cautiously toward the noise, his hand gripping the weapon tightly. A low hiss reached his ears, followed by the sound of something skittering across the floor. Adam's muscles tensed as he rounded the corner, and what he saw made his blood run cold.
A mutated creature—tall, with sickly green skin and large, bulbous eyes—was crouched in the hallway, its mouth agape. Its limbs were longer than any normal creature's, and its claws scraped against the ground as it turned toward him.
It was a mutant—an abomination born from the infection. And it was hungry.
Before Adam could react, the creature lunged, its claws slashing through the air. Adam barely had time to sidestep, his enhanced agility allowing him to dodge the attack by a hair's breadth. The creature hissed in frustration, turning on him with a snarl.
He struck first, using his heightened strength to land a blow to the creature's side. The impact caused it to stagger back, but it quickly recovered, its claws slicing toward Adam once more. He could feel the heat of its breath on his skin as he dodged again, using his newfound reflexes to stay one step ahead.
But the creature wasn't the only threat. Adam could hear the sound of more movement behind him. The hospital was crawling with these things.
"Monica!" he shouted, his voice sharp. "Get ready!"
Monica appeared at his side, her eyes steely with determination. She had her weapon raised, ready to strike. Together, they formed a tight defense, but Adam knew this was only the beginning. The mutant in front of them was just a taste of what was to come.
They fought back-to-back, moving with precision, each strike a step toward survival. Adam's enhanced strength made him faster, more lethal, while Monica's quick thinking allowed them to keep their enemies at bay.
Finally, with a brutal strike, Adam slammed his weapon into the creature's skull, sending it crumpling to the floor in a heap of twitching limbs. But there was no time to celebrate. More were coming. And the higher-tier crystal cores were still out there, waiting to be claimed.
"Stay sharp," Adam muttered. "This is just the beginning."
