Chapter 22 Mutant Earthworms, On the Eve of Relocation



"The superhuman has returned..."

"Help!"

Chen Tao and the others spotted Yang Shen and exclaimed in delight.

Yang Shen didn't rush to act. Instead, he used his mental power to scan the earthworm under his feet. Only after discovering that the earthworm was completely dead did he prepare to save the person.

However, at that moment—

"Gah!"

The large blue crow that had followed let out an angry cry, then flapped its wings and flew forward at a speed as fast as blue lightning.

Yang Shen's expression changed slightly. He was about to shoot the blue crow to death when he saw that the blue crow was heading towards a mutated earthworm.

"puff!"

With a flash of blue afterimage, it snatched up a mutated earthworm and then sucked it into its belly like a noodle.

"Gah!"

The large crow let out a cheerful cry and swooped down on the other mutated earthworms.

Those mutated earthworms were also ferocious and wanted to fight back.

However, birds seem to be the natural enemy of earthworms. Wherever the crows fly, not a single mutated earthworm can stop them. They are either pecked in two or instantly sucked into the crows' mouths and into their stomachs.

The giant crow's digestive speed is also astonishing; once the mutated earthworm enters its stomach, it will be digested very quickly.

In just a few seconds, four or five of the mutated earthworms were killed, and the rest, having lost all will to fight, hurriedly burrowed into the ground to escape.

They burrow at an astonishing speed; they burrow into the ground with one end, as if drilling through foam, instantly creating a hole and disappearing from the surface in the blink of an eye.

"Gah!"

The large crow wanted to give chase, but it was too late. In its haste to dig a hole, its sharp claws struck, sending fragments of stone flying from the hard concrete ground.

In the blink of an eye, a large pit was dug out, but this speed was far too slow compared to the mutated earthworms, and they couldn't even find a trace of them.

Yang Shen saw all of this and a strange look flashed in his eyes. However, he quickly guessed that this was likely related to the pseudo-Five Elements Bead. The crow might have been forcibly bound to the small world inside the bead and become his possession, just like the bead.

At this moment, Gao Shou, Yan Min, and the others finally reacted, quickly moving away while staring in shock at the giant blue crow.

"My lord, there's a mutated giant crow here..." Chen Tao said in a panic.

"Gah..."

The large crow seemed to understand human speech. Upon hearing this, it immediately stopped digging the hole, let out an angry cry at Chen Tao, and frightened Chen Tao into retreating repeatedly.

However, the giant crow obviously didn't attack Chen Tao and the others. Instead, it flapped its wings and took off, flying to an advertising billboard behind Yang Shen.

"Don't worry, the big crow is not an enemy."

Yang Shen walked into the underground parking lot and explained, while frowning at the situation in front of him.

The once smooth underground parking lot now had more than a dozen holes as thick as an arm, and there was slime around the holes.

These burrows extend from the underground parking lot to seven or eight meters outside the exit, indicating that the mutated earthworms burrowed out randomly, rather than intentionally into the underground parking lot.

The scene before him made Yang Shen frown secretly, but he was also secretly pleased. He was just thinking about how to trick this group of people out of the underground parking lot, and this was like a pillow delivered to his sleepy head!

"Not the enemy?"

"I know, it must be the pet that the superhuman has taken in."

"The superhuman is amazing. I wish I had a pet like that."

Everyone seemed to understand something, and their gazes towards Yang Shen immediately became even more awe-inspiring.

Yang Shen had nothing with him before, but he brought back such a big crow not long after he left.

Moreover, that crow seemed to be quite powerful in combat.

Ignoring the awe and complex expressions on everyone's faces, Yang Shen looked at Gao Shou and asked, "Were there any casualties?"

"No, those mutated earthworms are difficult to kill, but their mouths are small and they can't bite us. It's just that the women were quite frightened."

Gao Shou explained, hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly handed the gun in his hand to Yang Shen: "This is Gao Xue's gun. Chen Tao!"

Chen Tao hurriedly prepared to take out his gun as well.

"No need." Yang Shen didn't accept it, but said, "The camp can't rely on me alone. You all need to be able to protect yourselves when I'm not around."

As he spoke, he returned the pistol he had previously confiscated from Gao Shou: "Don't disappoint me."

Gao Shou immediately felt trusted and said with some emotion, "Don't worry, sir, I, Gao Shou, will definitely not let you down!"

Yang Shen nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "Just call me Brother Yang. Otherwise, if we encounter other superhumans, who will know who you're calling?"

"Yes, Brother Yang." Gao Shou nodded respectfully.

Yang Shen smiled and continued, "It's not safe here anymore. There are mutated earthworms underground, and nobody knows when they will come out, so we have to move out."

"Yes, yes, we must move out." Gao Shou deeply agreed. This time, the mutated earthworm attacked during the day, so they were lucky.

What if we attack them in the middle of the night while they're asleep next time?

That would be too dangerous.

“But Brother Yang, where are we moving to?” Wang Yanbin asked at this moment.

“Brother Yang has cleared out all the infected people in the vicinity. As long as Brother Yang is there, it doesn’t matter where you are,” Gao Shou said.

“Yes, yes, then let’s find a place nearby, but I suggest we don’t live underground anymore, otherwise it will be dangerous if there are mutated earthworms again.” Wang Yanbin agreed.

“No, let’s go straight to the south of the city and meet up with the other human survivors,” Yang Shen suddenly said.

"ah?"

"To the south of the city?"

Everyone was taken aback.

"this……"

Gao Shou hesitated and said, "Brother Yang, this place is not close to the south of the city. If it's just you, Brother Yang, or a few of us, going to the south of the city should be no problem. But with so many people, I'm afraid it will be... very difficult to travel."

Many people nodded in agreement, especially the women who were physically weaker and did not want to go that far.

If they encounter a large group of infected people, they won't be able to run fast enough and will definitely be eliminated.

The thought of being bitten and devoured by hordes of infected terrified all the women.

"Don't worry."

Yang Shen smiled and said, "Since I made this decision, I must be confident. I see that the cars outside are still drivable. I'll fix them a little, and everyone can ride in the cars while I lead the way. You'll be very safe."

Takatoshi was still somewhat worried: "But..."

"No buts. Am I the boss or are you the boss?" Yang Shen said, squinting.

Gao Shou was startled: "Of course, Brother Yang, you're the boss."

"Then it's decided. Everyone, get ready immediately. The sooner the better. We are human beings, social animals, and we can't be independent for too long."

Yang Shen said, "Hurry up and pack your things, focusing on food and weapons. Don't forget your clothes either. Don't bring anything else."

"Okay, Brother Yang." Gao Shou could only nod helplessly.

At this moment, Yang Shen glanced at the data on the steel needle pistol and frowned: "Gao Shou, did you count the steel needles after you came back?"

"Uh, we encountered mutated earthworms as soon as we got back..." Gao Shou hurriedly replied.

"Then why aren't you counting the needles? Do I have to pay you?" Yang Shen said angrily.

"..."

Isn't this face-changing too fast?

Furthermore, what kind of obsession is counting needles? Is counting needles more important than the entire company relocating?
