Chapter 75 It’s Dark
The sky outside the window suddenly darkened.
The originally golden sun was gradually blocked by thick clouds. The sunlight disappeared on the earth, and was replaced by the increasingly approaching darkness.
At this moment, Jiang Rong was certainly not the only one who noticed this change.
"It's getting dark, everyone outside, find a place to hide!!!"
"Close the door! Close the window! Quick!!!"
Various shouts came one after another outside the classroom, but even though everyone reacted quickly, they were still not faster than the mutant beast that was hiding underground.
Jiang Rong stood by the window, looking at the giant armored beast that suddenly broke out from between two buildings. It looked at least four stories high. The second floor where they were now was only as high as one of the giant armored beast's legs.
As for the body length, if the legs are included, it is at least more than ten meters.
This giant armored beast should have been an arthropod before the disaster. It has ten legs and each leg has a brown metallic luster. The fur has turned into cold and hard steel forks. If you accidentally bump into it, your body will be pierced through instantly.
Its back is covered with a very thick silver shell. The shell is uneven and covered with sharp vertebrae of the same color. Each sharp vertebra also has a bloody tumor. The tumor is full of yellow-white fangs and smelly mucus. When the tumors open and close, they make a rattling sound.
There is not just one such beetle, but a group of them. So far, there are seven of them as far as I can see.
Faced with the sudden giant mutant beast, the psychics who were running slowly on the road still had a chance to fight back, but some ordinary people were not so lucky.
The hair on the feet was as cold and hard as a steel fork. When it was lifted and pressed, blood gushed out and splashed all over the ground, accompanied by a few screams.
After capturing its prey, the giant beetle, which had not eaten for nearly a month, used all its strength to cut the middle-aged woman, who was not yet dead, into pieces alive. It put the woman's limbs into its complex mouthparts piece by piece, as if it was eating a delicious meal.
The bloody piece of meat was chewed and swallowed quickly, and the person who was alive just now was quickly consumed by the giant beetle.
The other giant beetles that had not yet harvested anything turned their attention to the aliens who were already surrounded by their own kind.
Six giant tumorous beetles and three young psychics stood back to back.
"Nan'er, are you trying to save people?" someone in the classroom asked. Although the people trapped outside were members of the Skeleton Group, no matter who they were, they were still human beings.
They are all the same kind.
"Can't save him." Nan Er frowned and looked outside.
The moment he finished speaking, the sky outside suddenly became much darker, and black, gray, and white feathers fell one after another like autumn leaves.
"Lots of...birds."
There was a dark mass in the sky, slowly approaching like a black cloud. When it got closer, people below could see clearly that it was not a black cloud at all, but mutant beasts, countless mutant bird beasts.
At this moment, it was flapping its wings frantically and swooping down at a high speed, and its target seemed to be the three people on the ground outside.
In addition, many mutant birds rushed towards the windows of their classroom.
“Bang, bang, bang!!!”
The windows of the student classroom were not very strong, and cracks began to appear on the glass after a while. It didn't take long for the mutant birds outside to break in completely through the window.
Jiang Rong knew that the mutant beasts' five senses were more sensitive during the day than at night, so he was not surprised to face the attack from the mutant birds outside.
In addition to the mutated birds and beasts in the sky and the giant beetles underground, Jiang Rong could feel that a large number of land-based mutant beasts were rushing towards this side at a high speed. It wouldn't be long before this place would become a sea of mutated beasts.
Thinking of this, Jiang Rong stopped hesitating and immediately turned to Uncle Zhao and pointed to the ground in the corner.
Since the mutant beasts underground are rushing out like crazy now, they should hide underground now, so that they can avoid each other.
Moreover, compared to the ground, underground can actually better isolate them from the human-specific smell.
At least she and Uncle Zhao didn't encounter these beetles when they were underground last night.
Zhao Runguo nodded upon seeing this.
Immediately, a hole was opened in the corner of the wall that was large enough for one person to enter and exit.
He didn't dare make the hole too big, for fear that the classroom would collapse by accident.
"Jiang Rong, what are you doing?" Nan Er asked with a frown.
"Do you want to go underground with me?" Jiang Rong asked back without much hope.
Nan Er hesitated for a moment after hearing this and then nodded. He didn't know why, but subconsciously he felt that he should follow her.
"Then hurry up, there is almost no time." After Jiang Rong said this, he jumped down from the cave after Qi Hao.
The height of the first floor is nothing to her at the moment.
Qi Hao was met by Zhao Runguo who had landed earlier.
At this moment, the three people outside had already been killed beyond recognition under the combined siege of the giant armored beast and thousands of mutated birds and beasts.
The dormitory next door was under more violent attacks from the mutated birds and beasts because there were too many people in it. For a while, screams were heard one after another.
The entrances and exits were blocked, and the people inside had to either jump out of the windows or be pecked to death by the mutated birds and beasts that broke in through the windows.
"Nan'er, do we really want to go underground? What if there are mutant beasts underground? Then we will have nowhere to run!"
Nan Er didn't even raise his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked back: "Is there a place to run up there? Didn't you see those people outside?"
Even though they have special powers, they still have no ability to fight back when the mutant beasts reach a certain number.
Right now, there seems to be no better option than underground.
"quick!"
Jiang Rong urged.
At this moment, she looked at the mutant birds that had broken into the window outside. They were small in size, but their beaks were sharp and their claws were hard, so they were numerous and difficult to deal with.
When Nan Er heard Jiang Rong's voice, he no longer hesitated and was the first to jump out of the cave.
Seeing this, the others had no choice but to follow suit.
A few minutes later.
Jiang Rong and his group appeared about ten meters underground, which was quite a distance from the ground. They walked quite smoothly all the way and did not encounter the giant beetles on the ground again.
There are a total of ten earth-type mutants in Nan'er's team, including a second-level junior master who can maintain this depth, but if it lasts for a long time, a lot of energy replenishment will be needed.
"Here, keep this as a backup. We have to leave first. It should be safe for you to stay underground for the time being. Just be careful about the oxygen problem."
Jiang Rong reached into the black backpack behind him, pretended to feel around, and then took out a black bag of cooked materials. No one knew what was in the bag, but it was bulging.
Nan'er didn't bother to be polite with her at this time. He reached out to take it, but he was not in a hurry to open it and read it.
"Thank you. But where are you going? It's so dangerous outside now."
"Looking for friends." Jiang Rong explained simply.
Nan Er nodded when he heard this. He also knew that the purpose of Jiang Rong and his friends' visit was to find their two friends.
"Okay, then be careful on your way."
Jiang Rong said "hmm" to this and prepared to leave with Uncle Zhao.
"Wait, wait a moment."
Jiang Rong, who was about to leave, turned half of his body and looked at Nan Er, who suddenly shouted to stop, with a puzzled look.
"What's wrong?"
"If you... meet Zhao Qinya up there, please protect her if you have the strength to do so. She is a person with healing abilities, and it would be useful for you if she follows you. Besides, Guangming will definitely reward you handsomely for this." Nan Er was trying his best to give Zhao Qinya a chance to survive.
Of course, if he is unlucky and doesn't meet her, then there is nothing he can do. He can't risk the lives of so many people around him to save her.
No matter how precious a superpower she is, it won't work.
In today's world, everyone's life is important.
Jiang Rong neither refused nor agreed when he heard this.
"Uncle Zhao, let's go."
They had to hurry because they didn't know where exactly Chen Ru and Jiang Miao were on the third floor.
underground.
After Jiang Rong and his companions completely disappeared from everyone's sight, the others came forward and surrounded Nan Er.
"Nan Er, what did that woman just give you? Open it and take a look."
Nan Er actually had a premonition about this, and this time he owed her a favor.
Nan'er did not hide his feelings in response to other people's questions and curiosity. Instead, he opened the black plastic bag in the dim light.
Then a faint light shone out from it. Everyone stretched their heads to look inside. What came into view was a variety of fluorescent brain pills. The bag was colorful and there were estimated to be at least a thousand of them.
Moreover, each brain pill is of the best quality they have ever seen.
The pearls are round and smooth, crystal clear, and have a perfect texture and luster.
"Oh my god, Nan Er, who are those friends of yours? Why are they so generous?"
"No wonder he can still eat steak so leisurely at a time like this. He is indeed not an ordinary person."
"That earth-type psychic just now must be a hidden boss, otherwise how could that woman be so generous."
"How can we let them go so easily? If we stay together, there will be safety in numbers."
Nan Er looked in the direction where Jiang Rong and the others left, listened to the words around him, frowned again, and there was some displeasure in his eyes.
"Shut up, everyone. You all think the mutants can't find us, right?"
*
About ten minutes later, Jiang Rong, Zhao Runguo and Qi Hao appeared on the third floor of Taoyuan.
Although Jiang Rong's control over his own supernatural powers is not yet perfect, he has at least mastered it.
At this moment, she was responsible for hypnosis to reduce the activity and aggressiveness of the mutant beasts in the room. Uncle Zhao was responsible for defense, and Qi Hao was responsible for attack.
Although Qi Hao's supernatural powers have improved rapidly, his overall attack power is not too strong for the time being. However, when combined with Jiang Rong and Zhao Runguo's supernatural powers, they complement each other.
At this moment, the corridors of the dormitory were in a mess, with bloodstains everywhere, and people with bloody heads could be seen everywhere being chased and blocked by mutant birds.
The three of them were not spared and all of them had injuries to varying degrees.
So Zhao Runguo took Jiang Rong and Qi Hao and hid while randomly entering a dormitory.
The three of them had 'good luck'.
This dormitory has bunk beds for six people. The glass windows are still intact and the people inside are relatively calm.
The door outside the house was made of solid iron, and the only area with transparent glass was covered with white paper by the people inside.
So before Jiang Rong and the others came in, they didn't know what the situation was like inside.
But at this moment, their luck seems to be a little too good...
In this room, apart from Jiang Rong and the other two who had just entered, there were more than ten people standing, sitting or lying down.
With the three of them added in, it seemed a bit crowded.
When Jiang Rong entered the room, the first thing he saw was Zhao Qinya, who had fair skin, ruddy complexion, long hair, and was wearing a thick white down jacket. She looked clean and tidy...
Jiang Rong: Her luck...
And Nan Er's broken mouth, he really got it right...
In addition to Zhao Qinya, Jiang Rong also saw the person she and Uncle Zhao had been looking for along the way.
Chen Ru and Jiang Miao.
The two men were now tied up with iron chains, their bodies were covered with scars, and the wounds on their faces from sunburns had not been treated and had begun to fester.
But he still looked alive, and it was probably just some superficial injuries, he wasn't tortured too badly.
When they saw Jiang Rong, Zhao Runguo and the other two suddenly appear, their originally dull eyes brightened instantly, but after only flickering for a moment, they shook their heads gently at Jiang Rong and the others, their mouths slightly opened.
"Hurry, go!"
