Chapter 330 The Strange Giant Crow
As the anomaly occurred, the landscape of the entire world was constantly changing.
Of course, along with these changes, the global landscape is also evolving in unpredictable directions.
Just like this North American continent at this moment, it has completely entered a state of anarchy.
The surviving humans formed one camp after another.
Of course, there were also groups of thugs like the one Lin Fan had encountered before.
But this is only a minority among the many camps.
The main reason for the formation of most campsites is that people need to stick together for warmth.
After all, humans are no longer at the top of the food chain on this land.
……
A day later, Lin Fan finally arrived near the nuclear power plant.
Along the way, apart from the group of thugs they had encountered earlier, they had not met any other living people.
At this time, the nuclear power plant was operating normally, and there were no abnormalities in the surrounding area.
Instead of driving directly into the nuclear power plant, he headed straight in the direction that Da Wu had originally left.
It wasn't until he had been driving for another day that he finally saw that familiar, huge figure in the distance.
From a distance, its dark, massive body resembles a towering mountain.
He parked the car on a high slope. Looking into the distance, the other party's location appeared to be an abandoned factory, with countless building debris pinned beneath it.
"Wait, why does this guy... seem a bit strange?"
When he met Da Wu before, he simply thought that the other party was just big and did not carefully observe the changes in the other party.
Now, standing on the high slope and looking at that figure, although it looks similar to when I first met him in the cherry blossoms, I realized after careful observation that his appearance has changed drastically.
The skin, once as hard as a carapace, has now become dull, covered with a rock-like texture, resembling some kind of thick biological armor.
Of course, the most obvious feature was the other party's enormous head.
The originally relatively simple octopus outline has now become complex.
Even more bizarrely, the other party's once bald head now has several clusters of twisted, coral-like bone-like protrusions that extend forward, forming a semi-circular horn-like crown.
And those enormous eyeballs on the body, they feel different now too.
It was no longer that pure, inhuman coldness, but rather a layer of murky, misty membrane.
As Lin Fan drove closer, those eyes turned around, and one could still feel their gaze upon him.
Lin Fan then drove while observing the surroundings.
The other party seemed not to notice him at all; apart from the movement of those big eyeballs, their body showed almost no reaction.
But as the two sides got closer, the air was filled with a smell of ozone mixed with some kind of rust.
"Big Crow".
It wasn't until Lin Fan drove up nearby that he called out loudly.
As if hearing his voice, the huge figure that had been motionless slowly turned around, and countless huge eyes locked onto him.
A few seconds later, a deep voice rang out in Lin Fan's mind.
"...You've arrived."
The sound was still the same, but it had a strange resonance, as if several sounds were superimposed together.
Lin Fan opened the door and got out of the car, stopping about 100 meters away from Da Wu.
"No, what's wrong with you? I feel like something's not quite right with you right now," Lin Fan asked with genuine concern.
The big crow remained silent for a moment.
"I might be about to evolve."
After saying that, it stopped talking about the topic and instead brought up the matter it had previously discussed with Lin Fan.
"That thing is interfering with me; it wants to take over my body and mind, and we are fighting against it..."
I can sense it; it's in the northeast, very far away. But its presence... is like a needle, piercing my brain.
"What are you talking about?" Lin Fan was completely confused.
"have no idea."
The big crow stared into the distance. "But I feel that if it completely takes over my body, I... will disappear."
Lin Fan frowned: "Disappeared? Controlled by it?"
"It's not about control."
For the first time, Da Wu's voice betrayed a hint of confusion.
"It's... assimilation. Its aura is eroding me, and the stronger the feeling becomes."
It moved its forelimbs, and Lin Fan noticed that the rock texture on the edge of its forelimbs was slowly wriggling and changing, as if it were alive.
"I tried to get away, but it didn't work."
"It's like a magnet, pulling me in," Da Wu said. "The more I struggle, the stronger the pull becomes."
Lin Fan watched the changes in Da Wu, his mind racing.
An entity that can make the Great Crow feel "powerless" and "erode and assimilate" it. Unknown. Dangerous. And it is awakening.
He didn't know if he could solve the problem, but now was not the time to think about it.
"What do you need me to do?" Lin Fan asked, puzzled.
The giant crow turned its head, and countless murky, enormous eyes stared at it.
"Help me...guard the core."
"My consciousness remains. But its presence keeps washing over me. If one day, I completely become... a part of it."
Its voice paused for a moment.
"Kill me."
Lin Fan didn't say anything.
Kill you?
What nonsense are you spouting!
Do you think my little brother would really be bullied?
"Stop talking nonsense. Just tell me if there's any way to slow down this process, or have you pinpointed the exact location of that thing?"
"Self-awakening: I'm the one who bullies others, when did it become someone else's place to shit on my head!"
Upon hearing this, a flicker of gratitude appeared in Da Wu's cold eyes, but quickly...
"I don't know. I can only sense that it's in the northeast direction, getting closer and closer."
It lowered its head, one eye looking closely at Lin Fan, his reflection seen in its pupil.
"But maybe... you can find a way. You're smarter than I am."
Lin Fan smirked: "You've gone bad, haven't you? You've learned to flatter now."
"This isn't flattery; I'm stating the facts."
Da Wu's voice carried a hint of amusement, "You are Prison Master, and you will always be my Prison Master..."
Lin Fan looked at the giant crow in surprise.
This creature, which was once just a huge, dangerous, and uncontrollable mutant, has now become intelligent.
"Alright, alright, I don't know where you learned all this stuff."
Lin Fan waved his hand.
"Tell me the general location, and I'll try to find it, but I might not find anything."
"That's enough." Big Crow closed his eyes. "You've come, that's enough."
Its massive body relaxed, lying prone on the ruins. The writhing of the rock textures seemed to slow down somewhat.
Lin Fan stood still, looking at Da Wu.
The sky in the distance darkened completely, and the stars began to appear.
The giant crow's silhouette appeared enormous and eerie in the moonlight, like an ancient sculpture slowly petrifying...
