Chapter 83 Unfavorable Start
Jiang Baiyue looked at the giant red scorpion and felt it was somewhat similar to the red-eyed scorpion she had encountered before. However, this scorpion was several times larger and had more health than the red-eyed scorpion.
As soon as the giant red scorpion moved, the surrounding zombies were also startled, and the roars of monsters echoed all around, one after another, responding to each other.
She glanced at the mercenaries who had surrounded her, feeling completely safe. Now, all she had to do was wait for the right moment to deal with Tao Hua Duo Kai.
The group from Qingshan and Lushui were shocked. He glanced at the weapon in his backpack: "This monster is even bigger than the one we cleaned out of the abandoned nursing home before."
Mingming walked to the window and looked down at the zombies gathered below: "These zombies seem to have grown bigger. Before, their flesh was shriveled and decaying, but now they look like they've taken a super tonic."
Another person, while keeping an eye on the outside, suggested, "Should we retreat a bit? This scorpion is so big, what if it gets on us?"
The group followed Peach Blossom Blossom, but they didn't dare get too close. They weren't familiar with the area, so they temporarily hid in an abandoned house.
The moment the giant red scorpion monster appeared, it immediately realized that the houses were not a good hiding place; with a sweep of its tail, the houses would collapse.
The group felt that while revenge was important, they also needed to stay alive. After discussing it, they decided to retreat, get away from the battlefield, and wait for the right opportunity to deliver a heavy blow to Peach Blossom Bloom before taking their revenge.
Peach Blossom Blossoms was also starting to feel the pressure. This giant red scorpion was large and fast, and seemed to have no weaknesses.
The experience gained from exploring the Qingshan base was almost entirely useless!
He hadn't expected the scorpion boss monsters in different areas to be so different, but this hadn't happened before, and he felt a vague unease.
As someone who values his life, he wanted to retreat.
But... Peach Blossom Blossom scans the Red Devil Giant Scorpion's Golden Resource Box!
Space Fragment*3, Life Water Recipe*1, Coins*10000, Medicine Making Table Blueprint*1, Scorpion Venom*5, Scorpion Tail*1, Rocket Launcher*1, Antidote Pill*5, Simulated Solar Chip*1...
The supplies are plentiful!!
This contains far more supplies than the resource box from the Red Scorpion that the group at the Green Mountain Base killed, plus blueprints for a medicine-making station and prescriptions!
The reason he went to such lengths to spread rumors and frame "lying flat and salty fish" was because he was afraid of losing control of the pharmaceutical channel.
Now, with a bright blueprint for a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant right in front of him, how could he possibly give it up?
Peach Blossom looked around at the people she had brought. They weren't necessarily the strongest fighters, but there were enough of them.
"Get up! Take down this boss, and everyone will be rewarded with 1000 coins! One wooden cabin for each person!"
Peach Blossom knew the principle that you have to invest heavily if you want people to work hard. He stared with fervent eyes at the giant red scorpion in front of him that had pierced a player with its tail hook.
These people are such useless. It's a pity that so many of them defected, otherwise... Although they are hateful, he has to admit that those who defected were quite capable.
The muscular man rolled away to avoid the heavy blow, then looked with lingering fear at his companion, who was caught on the tail hook and was bleeding profusely.
"Ahhh! Help me, help me...!"
Someone behind him couldn't help but drop his weapon, frantically slapping his head and screaming in agony.
Another one has gone mad.
The stick figure pulled out a pistol to end his life; he couldn't let his own people betray him at this moment.
"Brothers, don't be afraid! The Red Demon Giant Scorpion's health has dropped below 2,000! All ability users, unleash your abilities—!"
Energy of various colors—red, blue, gold, green, and brown—danced in the air like colorful fireworks, exploding with a bang after reaching the top.
The giant red scorpion roared, its massive body tilting unsteadily, its pincers retreating to cover its eyes and head.
Even when surrounded, the scorpion's tail continued to whip wildly, sweeping away the surrounding enemies.
The Red Giant Scorpion's health rapidly dropped to 1499 points.
However, cheers and screams of pain erupted simultaneously upon the successful attack.
A large number of people fell down amidst the blooming peach blossoms, and the surrounding buildings were completely leveled. The empty space actually made it easier for the Red Demon Giant Scorpion to move around.
With no cover left for the fleeing people, the Red Demon Giant Scorpion could easily lock onto its enemies.
The scorching flames were spewed out by the giant red scorpion, and those who could not dodge in time were quickly burned to ashes.
"Drop the bombs! You bunch of idiots! Are you just standing there waiting to die?"
The muscular man and the stick figure each grabbed a player who was holding a bomb and refusing to throw it, and roared at them.
"well……"
"Right away, right away..."
The person in the back, who had been stunned, was brought back to his senses by the shout. He took out his blood pressure medication, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed several pills before his vision returned to normal.
However, before these people could throw the bombs, the Red Demon Giant Scorpion retaliated even more fiercely, moving its legs quickly and charging directly into the crowd.
Flames swept across the area, and the smell of burning quickly spread, accompanied by intense heat that assaulted everyone's noses and throats.
Faced with flames and a fierce onslaught, everyone instinctively dodged, unable to even mount a counterattack.
The stick figure immediately pulled one person aside to block his way, then turned and dodged towards the direction where the peach blossoms were blooming without looking back.
"Drop the bombs! Drop them—!"
"Fire! Fire!"
Some of the bolder ones, realizing what was happening, trembled as they threw bombs at the abdomen of the giant red scorpion.
Sensing danger, the Crimson Giant Scorpion dodged and slammed its tail hook toward the source of the danger!
The next second, several screams rang out, and the stick figure was splattered with blood, leaving him momentarily dazed.
Another scream erupted, and the stick figure woke up, thinking to himself that he shouldn't have tried to show off in order to get rid of suspicion. Couldn't he have just stayed in the back and gotten away unscathed?
Peach Blossom saw the tail hook coming at her and, ignoring the stick figure's cries for help, shouted, "Drive away!"
The modified car sped away, its engine humming. Peach Blossom peeked out and saw that the spot where it had been was now riddled with a large crater.
People protecting the car were hit by falling rocks; some were there but no one managed to get out of the way in time.
In just a short while, a large number of the people they brought collapsed.
Peach blossoms bloomed, veins bulging on her fingers, and she muttered angrily: "A bunch of useless trash."
"Get the props!"
Upon hearing the command, the muscular man activated the offensive weapon he had brought.
A plush bomb prop.
Without thinking, he threw it at the Red Demon Giant Scorpion.
The plush bomb, complete with black and white eyes, was thrown into the air, its fluff flying everywhere, making it look soft and cumbersome with no intimidation whatsoever.
The giant red scorpion sensed the wind and turned to raise one of its pincers to sweep away the fluffy bomb.
drop--!
The moment the scorpion pincers touched the plush bomb, a deafening explosion followed by a blinding white light.
Jiang Baiyue's heart skipped a beat when the loud noise rang out, and she immediately threw herself to the ground. The mercenaries quickly moved to protect her.
Qingshan Lushui and the others were glad that they had retreated a distance, so the impact was not too overwhelming for them.
The group of people in the center of the battle were in a terrible state; their car was thrown 5 or 6 meters away by the impact.
Those closer to the explosion's epicenter, such as the muscular man, were thrown backward and landed on the ground; one could even vaguely hear the sound of their bones breaking.
Some people coughed up blood and fainted immediately, while others watched helplessly as their blood volume dwindled to almost nothing.
This bomb is truly... it hurts the enemy a thousand but also damages yourself eight hundred!
