079:
Fengcheng is close to the capital city, and its area and prosperity are larger than some second-tier cities.
The permanent population has reached 10 million.
According to the statistics of the base, when the first darkness fell, only about ten percent of the people in each city were not infected.
Among the ten percent of surviving humans, only one in ten awakened their special abilities.
When the second darkness descends, humans begin to awaken their special abilities, but monsters and zombies also upgrade.
Whether in terms of numbers or strength, humans are at an absolute disadvantage in this natural disaster, and survival is becoming increasingly difficult.
Once the zombies and monsters in each city gather together, they will form a zombie tide, and the smallest zombie tide can contain tens of thousands of zombies.
However, the zombies and monsters did not have the consciousness to gather together.
Although there are many types of monsters, they are far inferior to zombies in terms of number.
Zombies have no intelligence and only rely on instinct. Even high-level zombies can only occupy a small territory.
But not absolutely.
There are always one or two high-level zombies with outstanding IQs. Their existence is to summon and command, gathering a large number of low-level zombies to attack humans.
After the third darkness descended, as time went on, the hungry zombies who could not eat fresh flesh and blood began to target the monsters.
It’s as if a zombie that has been upgraded to level three has slowly awakened to a new menu through instinct.
The monster also discovered this.
Fortunately, zombies and monsters are of the same kind, and zombies will not treat monsters as food unless there is a certain opportunity.
Their primary target remains humans.
Some monsters with sharper intuition felt threatened. Although they were stronger than zombies, they could not withstand the larger number of zombies.
So, when high-level zombies gather a large number of low-level zombies, a zombie tide is formed.
Some monsters will join them.
Especially not the gregarious type.
By changing from "the same kind" to "companions", they will no longer be regarded as food by the hungry zombies.
This is why there are monsters mixed in with the tide of corpses.
At this moment, several commanders of the zombie tide were feeling depressed.
There are almost no local survivors in Fengcheng, and they have been hungry for a long time.
The ducks that were right in front of my mouth flew away, and I didn’t catch any of them. How can I be happy?
Fortunately, their original goal was to gather a large number of low-level zombies to the base.
After confirming that the food was escaping very quickly and they could not catch up, the commander immediately changed the order and continued to call on the remaining zombies in the city.
However, there are two arthropod monsters, which belong to a newly born species. Their strength has reached the top of the third level and is about to enter the fourth level.
The reason why they joined the zombie tide was different from that of other monsters. Other monsters were worried that a large number of zombies would attack them.
They thought that if they joined the zombie army to attack the base, they would be able to enjoy countless fresh flesh and blood if they succeeded.
At that time, they will let the zombies rush in front and hide behind the main force.
Perfect plan~
The two arthropod monsters have the characteristics of most monsters, their bodies are surprisingly hard.
Ordinary bullets won't leave any trace on them.
Similarly, abilities below level B have no effect on them.
Moreover, as a newly born species, they have a high IQ and come with an ability - flash.
Can also be used as a short distance teleportation.
It can appear anywhere within a hundred meters.
When the two cars of humans broke in, they were on the other side of the main group, a little further away.
By the time we got the news, humans had almost disappeared.
Then, they had an idea and used their flash ability to quietly follow one of the cars.
Wait until you are separated from the main force before taking action.
This ensures they enjoy their food alone.
And when they found that there were multiple food items, they decided to enjoy one temporarily and keep the rest.
So, they decided to find a suitable opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
Avoid being discovered by the food and try to escape - humans have all kinds of strange ways to escape.
They will never let the food they like slip away from their mouths!
The monster appeared without warning and with great speed.
At that time, the double-blade ghost was wiping the blade with a rag. While wiping, she was paying attention to the situation outside the car.
Other teammates checked the status of their weapons.
I was running away so fast just now, trying to get rid of the zombies. I didn't have time to find the way. I just ran where there were no zombies.
Now they were on an unnamed stretch of road with no landmarks.
There were low lands on both sides of the road, and it became more and more desolate as we went forward. It was obvious that we had left the city.
The map is useless at this time.
They had to return the same way they came.
Occasionally teammates would exchange a few words.
Li Xuelian, who was driving, reached a bottleneck and needed to seek a breakthrough through exciting battles. She was very grateful to the captain, Sister Mei.
In fact, Sister Mei can join other stronger teams on her own.
For them, even if their strength is lagging behind, I never give up on them.
Always trying to find ways to improve their strength.
Every time she obtained supplies outside the city, she would unconditionally give most of them to the women in the base who did not have special abilities.
She never felt bad about these women who traded their bodies for food. On the contrary, she felt sorry for them.
If a woman is bullied by others——
For example, the deal is obviously good, but the other party refuses to acknowledge it or uses violence.
Sister Mei will stand up and seek justice for them.
Li Xuelian was treated unfairly like this before she joined Sister Mei's team.
After being helped by Sister Mei, she wanted to join Sister Mei to kill zombies outside the city.
She hadn't awakened her superpowers at that time, but Sister Mei agreed.
Her superpowers were awakened during the third Dark Curtain event, and it wasn't long before she reached a bottleneck and needed a breakthrough. Sister Mei said she had great talent.
In time, it will become very strong.
Li Xuelian was looking forward to the future in her heart, but it did not delay her actions.
She is also a very good driver. After escaping the tide of zombies, she took over the modified jeep.
When she becomes stronger, she can better help Sister Mei and her teammates, and also help other women in the base who need help...
Something unexpected happened.
A pitch-black arthropod monster appeared on the deserted road.
It looked like a grasshopper magnified countless times, with its two front limbs evolved into sharp blades, flashing a chilling blue color.
"..." Li Xuelian, who realized that a monster was attacking her, had no time to issue a warning before she saw a hint of blue in front of her eyes, and what she saw was the monster's enlarged and hideous head.
It cracked the windshield.
The blades of his forelimbs sliced through her body like feathers.
When her body touches the monster's forelimbs, her innate ability [Monster Encyclopedia] is activated.
I understand what kind of monster this is, and I also know its weaknesses and how terrifying it is.
These monsters appear in pairs.
There's only one showing up now, so there must be another one nearby.
They will kill everyone.
At that moment, Li Xuelian was extremely clear.
She moved her lips, and countless blood foams gushed out, blocking the words she wanted to say.
She wanted to tell her teammates the monster's weakness so they could escape quickly.
Even Sister Mei can't deal with this monster.
Something must be done for them.
Li Xuelian stepped on the brakes almost reflexively, and the car body fell forward due to inertia.
She opened her arms and hugged the monster's head. Suddenly, her weak body burst out with terrible strength. She was like a small cannonball, and she fell out of the windshield holding the monster.
The monster didn't seem to expect that the food that was within its grasp would counterattack when it was dying. It was confused by her action and couldn't break free for a while.
Li Xuelian fiercely clung to the monster with her body. She had two grenades hanging on her body.
After unplugging the pin, she mentally shouted a prayer out loud to her teammates.
You must, you must live in peace.
Bang--!
The blast didn't cause a big blast, and when the smoke cleared, the body of the arthropod monster was revealed.
One of its front limbs was broken in the middle and there were burn marks on its head.
Apart from this, there are no other injuries.
Perhaps it was a little dizzy from the explosion, it shook its head and quickly stood up from the ground.
Once it stood firmly, its exposed mouthparts moved, making dense and angry cici sounds.
It's so angry.
A human being, a human being who was almost killed by it, actually hurt it like this!
I'm going to eat them all! Not a single one will be left!
It sends this message to its companions hidden in the shadows.
It happened too fast.
From the moment the monster attacked Li Xuelian to the moment she rushed out of the windshield holding the monster and pulled out the grenade, it took no more than five seconds.
The Double Blade Ghost reacted and got out of the car, but only had time to witness the explosion.
She had no time to grieve. The explosion had only slightly injured the monster, and warnings were popping up frantically in her mind.
There is one more!
Almost as soon as the thought came to his mind, an arthropod monster that looked exactly like the injured monster appeared next to it, but it was a little bigger.
The sudden appearance of the monster made the Double-Knife Ghost feel depressed.
Based on her experience, she judged that the monster opposite either had the ability to hide its body and showed up at this time;
Or you can teleport.
Either way, it allows them to perform a perfect sneak attack.
The grenades can only cause them minor injuries, which shows that their body defense is extremely strong.
Monsters are cunning and treacherous. Once they have tasted the bitterness of the power of ammunition, they will try to avoid it.
We must find a way to control them!
The double-blade ghost attacked without any hesitation.
First, use metal binding to tie up their limbs to ensure that they cannot hurt people immediately even if they suddenly approach and attack.
Then she rushed forward with two swords in hand.
At the same time, he yelled at the people in the car: "Drive away!"
Of the remaining three teammates, Lanlan is of the wood element, and the remaining two are of the water element, and their abilities are not strong.
Although they are good at shooting, they are of little use if they stay because the monsters have strong defenses.
Lanlan, her face covered in tears, rushed into the driver's seat and turned the car around.
At this time, the double-blade ghost had already rushed to the two monsters and broke the metal tied to their bodies.
The metal guardrails on the roadside followed closely, twisting in large pieces to wrap the larger monster layer by layer.
She concentrated on the injured one.
The blade hit the monster, sparks flew, and a crisp clanging sound was heard.
The ghost hands holding the two swords were numb from the shock.
One of the monster's limbs suddenly broke out from the middle, pulling out a red tissue that looked like a chain. The sharp tip of the limbs spun like a sickle and stabbed fiercely at the double-blade ghost.
The air seemed to be punctured.
The double-blade ghost only had time to cross his two swords and catch the rapidly approaching tip.
A huge force rushed over.
Her sword was made from the shell of some monster that also had extremely strong defensive power. Although she caught the attack, the sword in her right hand lost its power and flew out.
The double-blade ghost used the force to roll back and unload the terrible force. She took a breath and felt a stuffy pain in her chest.
Relying on flexible movement, rich combat experience, and family martial arts, the double-sword ghost fought back and forth with the injured arthropod monster, and the result was evenly matched.
However, there was another one nearby.
She had been using her powers to trap the other one during the fight.
The injured monster was unable to defeat the humans in front of it one after another, and it roared at its companions in frustration.
Seeing this scene, the double-blade ghost lowered her head and spat out blood foam. Her hands were already cracked with countless cracks, and she used pieces of clothes to tie the handles of the swords to her hands to prevent them from slipping out of her hands.
Even though she knew that the day was coming to an end, she still didn't give up at this moment.
Her eyes were filled with fighting spirit, emitting a star-like brightness.
Another monster broke out of the seal.
It was also very angry.
Being trapped by humans for so long!
It's reached its limit.
Only the double-bladed ghost knows.
She knelt weakly on the ground, and the blood turned her into a bloody person.
Facing the monsters rushing towards her from both sides, she moved her wrist but was unable to lift it.
She smelled the fishy light nearby and felt the approach of death.
Suddenly, everything stopped.
The double-blade ghost, whose consciousness was almost in a coma, was startled. She opened her bloodstained eyes, and her vision went from hazy to clear.
A slender and familiar figure was imprinted on the retina.
The double-blade ghost's pupils suddenly shrank.
It’s Sang Luo!
She appeared a few meters away, with a soft green vine floating in the distance behind her, and something seemed to be wrapped around it.
From a distance, she could clearly see that the curled-up body looked like… a corpse???
The Double-Knife Ghost was both surprised and unsurprised that Sang Luo appeared here.
Her intuition kept telling her that Sang Luo must not be as weak and harmless as she appeared.
"Where are the flowers I gave you?" Sang Luo stopped one meter away from her, bent down slightly, and asked.
The double-bladed ghost was stunned for a moment, then replied bewilderedly, "In the car."
Sang Luo winked at her and said softly, "Since you didn't lose it, I'll reward you with a small surprise."
The double-blade ghost's wet eyelashes trembled slightly.
She saw the girl stretch out her clean white fingers, look at her body, and finally stop at a clean spot between her eyebrows.
The girl's fingertips felt a little cold.
The next second, a warm feeling surged from every part of his body, dispelling the temperature and strength lost due to blood loss and injury.
The Double Blade Ghost was horrified to find that her external and internal injuries healed instantly.
In just one breath, she recovered from being seriously injured and near death to her peak condition!
The double-blade ghost stood up nimbly.
Looking at the smiling girl opposite her, she opened her mouth but was speechless for a moment.
She has always been the one taking care of and saving others.
For the first time, someone rescued her.
