When Iron Lion gave her this Corroding Marrow Six Eyes back then, she had not refused it.

But when Xu Lina came into contact with this Corroding Marrow Six Eyes and received the information about it, she understood that she couldn't use this Corroding Marrow Six Eyes.

The Corroding Marrow Six Eyes could store three hundred bullets.

The stored bullets were all manufactured by consuming the holder's vital energy and blood.

The power of the bullets was still quite considerable.

Back during the No-Rules Race in Oasis, Xu Lina had seen Iron Lion use it.

In Iron Lion's hands at that time, this gun was practically unlimited ammo.

That little bit of vital energy and blood was almost equivalent to being bitten by a mosquito for Iron Lion.

But for others, that amount of vital energy and blood was enough to cause harm to a person.

Because, the Corroding Marrow Six Eyes could not store bullets in batches; it could only store them all at once in one go, and the process could not be interrupted.

If a person with insufficient vital energy tried, they might even be sucked dry into a desiccated corpse by this Corroding Marrow Six Eyes.

For this reason, this Corroding Marrow Six Eyes wasn't very suitable for Xu Lina.

But she hadn't returned this Corroding Marrow Six Eyes.

Chen Ye didn't know what she was thinking.

She herself didn't know either.

But at that time, she just couldn't bear to part with it, unwilling to return this sole Wonder to Iron Lion.

Even though this Corroding Marrow Six Eyes was a Wonder with a serial number over six thousand.

A Wonder with such a serial number was really looked down upon in the eyes of many people.

But in Xu Lina's eyes, this Corroding Marrow Six Eyes was currently her most precious treasure.

Until this moment...

Xu Lina finally understood.

She understood why she had kept the Corroding Marrow Six Eyes by her side back then.

Perhaps... it was all fate.

To survive in the apocalypse, being just Black Clothes wasn't enough!

To suppress the rebellion before her eyes, being just Black Clothes wasn't enough!

Captain Chu had said that for those who wanted to become Symbionts, the choice of the Anomaly or Wonder to bond with was extremely important.

Once you encountered an unsuitable Anomaly or Wonder,

there was a possibility you could become a new Anomaly yourself.

But now...

She had no choice...

"Xu Lina, have you made up your mind?"

"I know you're Black Clothes, but with so many of us, how many can you deal with?"

Li Daba looked at Xu Lina greedily, his eyes following her gaze to sweep over that intimidating-looking six-barreled machine gun.

She hadn't used it before when they encountered the Door-Opening Anomaly tide.

According to what Li Juan said, she seemed unable to use this gun.

Li Daba felt a slight relief in his heart and chuckled before continuing, "Xu Lina, it's the apocalypse, what are you pretending for?"

"Look at your own worthless appearance?"

"Who in the entire convoy doesn't know you have feelings for Chen Ye!"

"But so what?"

"You threw yourself at him and he didn't want you!"

"He's a Superhuman. If he wanted, heh heh... who could refuse?"

"But he just isn't interested in you!"

"I'm different. I, Li Daba, know how to cherish someone!"

"Xu Lina, as long as you follow me, I promise, from now on, whatever you say on Bus Number Seven goes!"

"I promise, I promise I'll definitely treat you well!"

"How about it?"

Li Daba's clumsy negotiation skills were practically an insult to the very word "negotiation."

"Li Daba, don't even dream of it. Do you think I, Tiger Head, don't exist?"

"If you want to bully Sister Lina, you'll have to step over my corpse."

Tiger Head glared with furious eyes.

Although he was young, he had never backed down when it came to protecting Xu Lina.

Li Daba glanced at Tiger Head and gave a sinister chuckle, "Tiger Head, you little brat, your feathers aren't even fully grown yet. Do you think what's on your mind can be hidden from me?"

"Do you also like Xu Lina?"

The words directly shocked Tiger Head, making his face flush red.

"I... I don't... You... Don't talk nonsense..."

Tiger Head stared at Li Daba nervously, not daring to look back at Xu Lina.

He felt as if countless ants were crawling all over his body.

Li Daba was right. He liked Xu Lina. This was the deepest secret in his heart.

He thought no one else knew.

He never expected it to be blurted out like this by the other party.

In Tiger Head's heart, Xu Lina was a noble, incomparable goddess.

He had never even harbored any impure thoughts about Xu Lina.

He had once thought about just protecting Xu Lina by her side for a lifetime.

As long as Xu Lina didn't drive him away, he would stay by her side forever.

"Heh heh... If you like her, you like her. Xu Lina is so beautiful, it'd be weird not to like her!"

"Ask them, who among them doesn't like her?"

"Hahaha..."

Waves of mocking laughter erupted around them.

"You kid, didn't expect you to be so pure!"

"Probably don't even know what liking someone really means, do you? Hahaha..."

Li Daba's unrestrained teasing left Tiger Head at a loss for how to respond.

Having the deepest secret in his heart exposed so openly on the spot,

Tiger Head, for a moment, simply didn't know what to do or how to react...

"Li Daba, you... shut up..."

"I... I'll fight you to the death..."

After saying this, Tiger Head, burning with shame and rage, grabbed his knife and charged over.

Throughout this entire process,

Xu Lina had basically no reaction to the conversation between Tiger Head and Li Daba.

It was unclear if she even heard it.

Just as Tiger Head charged over,

Xu Lina reached out and grabbed the blood vessel attached to the Corroding Marrow Six Eyes.

This leech-like blood vessel was connected to the large sac at the tail end of the Corroding Marrow Six Eyes.

As if detecting a living person approaching, 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

the blood vessel suddenly perked up, accurately and unerringly coiling itself around Xu Lina's arm.

In just an instant, the vessel became filled with Xu Lina's bright red blood.

Feeling the blood in her body draining away in an instant,

Xu Lina felt her whole head grow dizzy and her body go weak.

Gritting her teeth...

Xu Lina forced herself to stay upright and not fall.

Xu Lina reached out and stroked the six gun barrels of the Corroding Marrow Six Eyes, her voice trembling slightly.

"Corroding Marrow Six Eyes, do... you... wish... to form a symbiosis with me?"

Xu Lina didn't know what conditions needed to be met to form a symbiosis.

Or what kind of preparations needed to be made.

But currently, she had nothing, only her own life.

Xu Lina, who had always survived by depending on others.

This time, she wanted to fight for herself.

Regardless of success or failure...

Just as Xu Lina finished speaking these words,

this Corroding Marrow Six Eyes suddenly trembled...

The blood vessel that had been frantically sucking blood also stopped.

That feeling of blood madly draining from her body ceased.

Xu Lina felt a flicker of joy in her heart.

Could it be... this works too...

Right, Wonders possess spirit!

Wonders possess spirit!!

It... can understand...

At this moment,

Xu Lina saw that at the position of the six muzzles of the Corroding Marrow Six Eyes, one of the muzzles suddenly opened an eye.

That's right, it was an eye.

Immediately after, a second muzzle also revealed an eye.

The third...

Xu Lina understood now why it was called the Six Eyes.

That was because it truly had six eyes.

"Symbiosis! Symbiosis..."

An indescribable stream of information transmitted from the Corroding Marrow Six Eyes before her into Xu Lina's mind.

This voice was very unpleasant, like someone who hadn't spoken for a long time suddenly starting to talk.
