Apocalypse: Counterattack of a Cannon Fodder

Chapter 42: Consequences of neglect

Views:

Without complete preparations, Tang Shi didn't want to waste the Yuan Neng crystals he had worked so hard to collect, so he put the Yuan Neng crystals away and the two began to rest, waiting to continue fighting tomorrow.

The next day, Tang Shi only hunted two three-eyed monster leaders, but he had saved enough energy crystals for promotion.

Tang Shi asked Yanxu if he wanted to advance first, but Yanxu refused. With his current strength, as long as he didn't encounter high-level aliens, he was sure to escape even against second-level creatures. But Tang Shi was different. Yanxu's ability is entirely dependent on the benefits brought by the awakening of the Yuan Neng Crystal. Of course, Yanxu needs Tang Shi to advance first. Apart from anything else, the most important thing is to be able to protect himself.

Tang Shi didn't give in. After he advanced, he would continue to collect energy crystals to help Yanxu advance.

Tang Shi immediately awakened to advance, and Yanxu was by his side to protect him. He took a longer time this time. After an hour, the airflow around Tang Shi began to change, and the Yuan Neng cyclone appeared, indicating that Tang Shi was about to advance. Almost done. The Yuan Energy Cyclone that appeared this time was only a little bigger than when it first awakened, and was still not as big as the Yuan Energy Cyclone created by Yanxu.

When Tang Shi broke through the invisible wall, the Yuan Neng cyclone also rotated to its peak, and began to dissipate after a while. When the cyclone completely dissipated, Tang Shi cursed, "I'll go, I really got this point home."

Yanxu was also a little dazed. He was still waiting to see Tang Shi's natal card. Why wasn't it this time

Tang Shi scratched his head, sighed and said: "Only when awakening, the natal card will appear 100%. After that, if you advance and want to continue to get cards, you have to be lucky. So, no matter how high the level is, some people , it is also possible that you are still using the life card when you awakened. If the life card is a spell card, after using it, there will be no more cards in your hand. Such awakened people are just physically stronger than ordinary people."

Although Tang Shi has reached the first level of the awakening stage and his physical strength has reached 12 times that of ordinary people, he can still only use the Tang Sword in his hand. However, he still has two spell cards. Although they are consumables, they are absolutely powerful. Not to be underestimated.

It was normal not to get the card. Tang Shi was just a little depressed and forgot about it after a while. His luck now is much better than in the last life. In the last life, he had been promoted to the fourth level and still only had one natal card in his hand. At least now he still has three cards in his hand, which is already a good deal. He decided to continue fighting the enemy tomorrow, and he would get the card rewarded by the system no matter what!

Tang Shi's calculation was good. When they went out the next day, the two of them walked around the area and didn't see a three-eyed monster. They didn't know if they were scared of being killed by Tang Shi or they left. This made Tang Shi really depressed. He hadn't gathered all the vigilant eyes of the leader of the three-eyed monsters yet. Why had all the three-eyed monsters disappeared

Tang Shi thought for a while and said, "Let's go inside and have a look."

Yanxu agreed. The two of them walked in carefully with their weapons in hand, being extremely vigilant along the way. As soon as a three-eyed monster rushed out, they would immediately turn around and run out. They could not stay here to fight, or they would be overwhelmed by the army of three-eyed monsters. What surprised them was that after walking around the place where the three-eyed monsters gathered, except for the human heads and bones everywhere, there was not a single three-eyed monster.

Tang Shi had a bad premonition in his heart. There were two possibilities for a foreign race to disappear overnight. Either they were wiped out overnight, or they had a premonition of a crisis and escaped in advance. Tang Shi chose the latter. There was no body of the three-eyed monster here, which only meant that all the three-eyed monsters had escaped.

"No! Get out of here!" Tang Shi said and ran back.

Tang Shi remembered that among the more numerous alien races that appeared in the city, apart from the poisonous zombies and three-eyed monsters created by ghost spiders, the most terrifying alien race was the Zerg race. This kind of Zerg is a complete card creature. They are born in cards and have amazing reproductive capabilities. Several days have passed since the end of the world, and the Zerg has not appeared. In Tang Shi's memory, the place where the Zerg appeared in large numbers was not in this area. How could it be...

Tang Shi suddenly realized what a big mistake he had made. They had hunted so many three-eyed monsters in the past two days, and each time the corpses would disappear. He only thought that some alien race had dragged them away and eaten them. He did not think about the Zerg. He always remembered that the range of Zerg activities in the previous life was not here. , but forgot that so many three-eyed monster corpses will definitely attract the Zerg here!

There are many races of Zerg. They are the most numerous and one of the most difficult alien races to deal with. In the last life, Lincheng fell, not at the hands of poisonous zombies and three-eyed monsters, but at the hands of Zerg. That was simply... hell!

As they were walking, they unexpectedly heard gunshots and the sound of a car engine nearby.

Tang Shi cursed in his heart, who the hell is looking for death and actually shoots here!

The collapsed buildings on the roadside also began to shake, and the hiding Zerg were attracted by the sound and began to move out, preparing to hunt. At this moment, Tang Shi could no longer control so much, and said in an urgent voice, "Go to the roof!"

The physical strength of awakened people is 6 times higher than that of ordinary people, and it was 12 times higher in Tang Dynasty. Their jumping ability has also increased from 6 times to 12 times from the original height of more than one meter, so between buildings Jumping is still no problem. When they rushed to the top of the building and looked down again, they were so frightened that they broke into a cold sweat.

At this moment, the ground was all black and covered with gray-brown corpse-eating insects. Each of them was as big as a native dog, with uneven bodies and conical spikes, as if they were carved from stone. It is shaped like a pangolin and is covered with a thick carapace that cannot be penetrated by ordinary guns. Only large-caliber steel core bullets can be used to kill it. The head has huge claws, two pairs of upper and lower claws, curved and facing each other, hard and sharp. The bite force of the corpse-eating insect is very strong, and it can bite through the iron sheet of a car in one bite. They often feed on corpses and will only hunt living creatures if there are no corpses. Each of their fighting abilities is terrifying, not to mention that they always appear in groups.

Yanxu looked at the terrifying creatures below and felt his scalp numb, "What are those?"

Tang Shihan said with a face: "Corpse-eating bugs are a type of Zerg. The level is only zero, but don't underestimate the corpse-eating bugs. Their single combat ability is much stronger than the three-eyed monster. Their shells are invulnerable, and two pairs of them are invulnerable." The claws are extremely sharp. You must be careful when encountering Zerg, and run away if you can. They are very dangerous aliens."

As Tang Shi said that, he had already jumped between the two buildings. The distance was five or six meters, and he could easily cross it. Yanxu followed closely and also crossed over. This area is an old city, and the houses are not high. They are usually on the fifth floor, and they are often damaged. It is also hindered when running. Jumping over the building, in front is the floor that was destroyed by the card. Tang Shi and Yan Xu had no choice but to jump down and run away from the ground, with the corpse-eating insects chasing after him.
