I Just Want To Retire Quietly

Chapter 134: Global Evolution (IV)

Just like after the breakthrough, when everyone worked together to defeat the silver-white water snake, the lake became calm and there was no more danger, which gave the Superpower Team some time to breathe.

"This world's apocalypse has been in existence for a long time," Liang Xian gathered several team leaders together, "The long period of evolution has caused unpredictable changes in the creatures of this world. This is my miscalculation. I previously defined the difficulty as C-level, but now it seems that this may be a B-level world."

After finishing the filming, Tianshen No. 2 returned to the ship with satisfaction and said, "The database has been updated. The level of the alien world cannot be evaluated simply by type. It is also related to the time when its apocalypse is formed. For example, in a world where the earth stops rotating, the degree of danger in the early, middle and late stages is completely different, and will decrease as the apocalypse approaches; while a world like global evolution or infection may become more difficult over time."

Seeing that Tianshen No. 2 automatically updated the database, Liang Xian stopped talking in detail. The most urgent task was to take everyone to Ping County, not to analyze the end of the world. After they returned to the real world, the research team would improve the world type and difficulty based on their experience.

We are not fighting alone, we have the support of the entire country, the world and even all of humanity. Their support will be our driving force to move forward courageously. Liang Xian thought secretly in his heart.

After climbing out of the water to take a breath, Ah San continued Liang Xian's words: "If it is the beginning of global evolution, the overall structure of the city is still there, the landform will not change much, and the crazy evolution of species is only in the initial stage, just like the newly created trumpet in the game, with average combat power and no team, both action and battle are much easier than the current situation.

But now, the landscape has changed drastically, and the evolved species have formed factions and learned to fight together, and have primary intelligence. In this situation, it can be said that it is difficult to move forward. "

"But there are also benefits," Tu Zishi, another veteran member of the superpower team, continued, "The benefit of a team battle is that when we defeat the boss, it is equivalent to conquering the entire map. Like the jungle wall and the silver water snake in the water just now, after defeating them, we will not be attacked again in this environment unless there is a bigger boss."

Qin Li, who was always silent, also said: "The landform has been changed, and the territory has been clearly divided. There will be no unexpected situations like a lion suddenly emerging from the water. There are fewer unexpected situations, and it is easier to make pre-war deployments based on the terrain characteristics."

Several people discussed the current situation in detail, unlike in the past when only Liang Xian could make a rough judgment.

A captain of a special power team exclaimed: "You instructors are obviously younger than us. Most of you are just students, but your ability to respond to situations and conduct comprehensive analysis is so strong."

If he hadn't said it, the people in the superpower team wouldn't have realized that they had been reborn.

Yan Yongfeng smiled and said, "Back then, we were in a world of parasitic monsters. We were frightened by a group of monsters that could spit out tentacles when they opened their mouths. We hid behind Tan Yan and couldn't even do the most basic auxiliary combat. We could only rely on his protection.

Now that I think about it, that world is actually very simple, just a D-level world. The parasitic monsters have a single attack method and obvious weaknesses. Even if they don’t have superpowers, they can still fight with heavy weapons.”

But at that time, each of them was more useless than the other.

Qiu Qizheng said to the captain who sighed, "Don't worry, take your time and experience a few more worlds."

Growth is not just talk. Only through blood and tears can one truly grow up.

Tan Yan looked at the young soldiers who were discussing together and listened quietly to the sound of the hourglass of time passing.

The organization asked him and Xiaolu to follow the team this time because they were worried about encountering unexpected situations. Three hundred newly awakened soldiers would find it difficult to cope with them, and Tan Yan, the humanoid nuclear weapon, was the last guarantee.

But now it seems that the warriors handled the situation well and he didn't need to take action.

Touching the deer's head, Tan Yan smiled knowingly.

After sailing safely for an hour, Liang Xian was the first to get off the boat, stepped on the ground, and frowned slightly.

The ground was muddy and there was endless bushes ahead.

Shrub swamp.

"The situation is worse than I expected." Liang Xian jumped onto the boat, leaving a trail of muddy shoe prints wherever he walked.

"Swamp?" asked the sharp-eyed Yan Yongfeng.

"Yes," Liang Xian nodded solemnly, "jungles, lakes, swamps, the city B we are familiar with has become a huge wetland system in this world."

Wetlands are known as the kidneys of the earth. Together with forests, the lungs of the earth, and oceans, the heart of the earth, they constitute the three major ecosystems of the earth. They are the general term for various marsh and wet areas in land, flowing water, still water, estuaries, and marine systems. Wetlands are ecosystems with multiple unique functions on the earth. They cover only 6% of the earth's surface, but provide a living environment for 20% of the known species on the earth.

Such an environment is home to countless unknown evolving creatures. Compared to forests and oceans with a single biological structure, the dangers of wetlands are unpredictable.

What Liang Xian is more worried about now is the means of transportation. Ordinary land vehicles can hardly move in the swamp, and the helicopter can only accommodate more than 30 people at most, but they have 500 people.

Ah San thought for a moment and said, "It seems that we can only use the hovercraft. We don't have a hovercraft with us. Can you do it?"

The hovercraft has very little sailing resistance and can reach a speed of up to 6080km/h, making it suitable for use in inland rapids, dangerous shoals and swamps. Currently, the world's largest hovercraft can accommodate about 400 people, and they need at least two hovercrafts.

Liang Xian carefully recalled the hovercraft design he had seen before, and said unconfidently: "We can give it a try."

Aunt Yang took out the existing means of transportation in the space, and everyone got off the boat and gathered at the lakeside, carefully watching their feet. Although the environment was very harsh, everyone still stood in their own positions, and the uninjured superpowers protected everyone on the outside.

Liang Xian stood in the vehicle with a solemn expression. With his ability, he could modify the existing subway power supply a little, but it was really difficult to create such a large hovercraft out of thin air.

In fact, there is another way to cross the swamp. The nomadic Evenki people in Siberia use sleds pulled by reindeer to cross the swamp. The reindeer are very strong and can easily pull 500 people.

Compared to the complex structure of a hovercraft, it is very simple to make a sliding sled that can accommodate 500 people.

But…

Liang Xian looked at the deer. The leisurely deer was circling around Tan Yan, as if showing off its long four legs, with a look of attachment and pride.

Xiaolu has a special feeling for Liang Xian and Tan Yan, and he would not refuse if asked to pull the crowbar.

No, Liang Xian said to himself in his heart.

Whether it is Tan Yan or Xiao Lu, they have countless ways to overcome the difficulties before them, but their goal this time is to train warriors and cultivate future superpower teams, and they can no longer rely on them.

It doesn't matter, he has a strong sense of awareness.

Liang Xian secretly encouraged himself, wrapped his consciousness around the vehicles around him, constantly recalled the design drawings of the hovercraft in his mind, and used all his strength to decompose the existing vehicles and reassemble them into a hovercraft.

Liang Xian’s deconstruction was very strenuous, but in the eyes of others, he just opened his arms, and the means of transportation around him disintegrated and began to become other things.

"I have witnessed countless miracles today," said an American scientist, "both this strange world and people with super powers."

Liang Xian's ability is quite practical in a strange world. He can solve the problem of insufficient existing supplies. Working together with Aunt Yang, he is a mobile arsenal.

In the sight of everyone, a huge hovercraft appeared on the ground. This hovercraft can accommodate about 350 people, and there are 20 small hovercrafts with a passenger capacity of about 10 people next to it.

Liang Xian reassembled the remaining materials into a car and asked Aunt Yang to put it away.

He held onto the hovercraft and said breathlessly, "Ordinary people and the injured will board the big ship. Thirty soldiers will protect them, and the rest will board the small boats, sail around the big ship, and flexibly protect the people on board."

After saying that, Liang Xian lay down on the big ship. The previous transformation almost exhausted his consciousness. Now he had a severe headache and even thinking became a problem.

Lying on the boat, Liang Xian pointed at Qiu Qizheng and said, "I am going to sleep and quickly recover my consciousness. It will take about two hours. During this time, you will lead the team and Chai San will assist."

Qiu Qizhen is not the strongest, but he has the most special ability. His organizational and leadership abilities are not inferior to Liang Xian, but he lacks experience and needs to hone his ability to handle emergencies, so he lets Ah San assist him.

After making the arrangements, Liang Xian fell asleep due to exhaustion and became one of the injured.

The team did not panic because of his exhaustion. Qiu Qi, who took over, arranged everyone to board the boat in an orderly manner. There were five psychics standing beside him, each with different abilities, which made it convenient for him to gather the strength of five people in an emergency and choose the most suitable ability.

After everything was ready, before starting the hovercraft, Qiu Qizheng directly said: "Burn!"

There are a lot of bushes in the swamp, which is not suitable for large fleets to sail. In addition, the swamp has a complex ecology and is rich in amphibians, reptiles, birds, insects and other species. These animals are small in size and can hide in the bushes to attack. Instead of being in a panic after being attacked, it is better to eliminate the hidden dangers at the beginning.

Qiu Qizheng was a tough guy who could decisively issue such an order. He didn't talk much on weekdays, and every time he spoke, he was coordinating the interpersonal relationships of the team members. He was especially considerate of Cui Heyu, who often offended people with his words, and was able to strictly carry out the tasks assigned by his superiors.

Liang Xian handed the team over to Qiu Qizheng, who knew that he did not have the strength of Tan Yan or the advanced insight of Liang Xian. So he could only use the simplest and crudest method to eliminate the hidden dangers.

This time, because we knew the type of world in advance, everyone carried a full set of supplies. Not only was Aunt Yang's space full of weapons, but the team members also had a lot of them. Although a lot of flame wood warehouses were used in the jungle, there were still a lot left here.

In the other world, use weapons as much as possible and don't waste your super powers.

The flame wooden cannon fired again, and with the help of the wind power, the bushes quickly burned, and countless insects hiding in the bushes flew out. Through the telescope in their hands, even ordinary people could see how terrible those insects were.

The mosquitoes that appeared at night were on average the size of a fist, with straws on their mouths like steel needles, and a few mosquitoes could kill an adult. Dense swarms of mosquitoes flew out from the huge bushes, buzzing towards everyone, their wings slicing through the bushes, sweeping down countless branches like steel knives.

Can this be called a mosquito?!

The most terrifying thing is that there is not just one mosquito of this size, but a large group of them. Preliminary visual estimates show that there are at least 100,000 of them.

They flew into the sky, blocking out the starry sky, and swooped over in a dark mass.

Some people on the boat even couldn't help but scream. Even though the soldiers were well-trained and wouldn't scream, the dense swarms of mosquitoes made many people suffer from claustrophobia and got goose bumps on their bodies.

Qiu Qi was staring at the mosquitoes without blinking, and the moment they came close, he gave an order: "Defend against them!"

Qin Li, along with three other defensive ability users like him, protected all twenty-one hovercrafts. At the same time, the incendiary bombs that had been hidden in the protective walls on the sides of the hovercrafts exploded at the same time. Everyone in the protective walls heard the "buzzing" sound of mosquitoes becoming sharper, as if they were struggling in pain.

The fire lasted about half an hour. Only after Qiu Qizhen got Tu Zishi's confirmation that it was safe did he let Qin Li remove the protective wall. Everyone leaned their heads out and found that the side of the boat was full of black mosquito corpses. They all died with their eyes open, which was horrifying to see.

This is one of the swamp creatures.

Ah San thought for a moment and said to comfort everyone, "Don't think so terribly. Swamp creatures in the ordinary world are not so terrible. They can form a complete ecological chain and will not become extinct. But mosquitoes this big, according to common sense, can't have so many populations. After all, swamp resources are limited. The number of mosquito swarms means that countless creatures must have been eliminated in the process of evolution, and the species left in the swamp must have decreased a lot."

His words put everyone at ease. If all the insects in the swamp ecosystem were alive and had evolved to be as horribly powerful as the mosquitoes, then there would be no way they could leave here.

But Asan is right. Evolution means large-scale elimination. In order to compete for limited resources and space in the swamp environment, there is no possible population on this land that can fight against mosquitoes.

At least there are no insects.

Qiu Qi was looking up at the sky. They had been here for more than eight hours. The sky was gradually turning white and the night was about to pass.

This is a good thing. Not many people have eyesight as good as Yan Yongfeng, and darkness is always the best place to hide. After daybreak, many attacks become visible to the naked eye, and counterattacks become relatively easy.

He did not rush the team forward, but waited for a while, and only moved forward after making sure that the mosquitoes were either burned to death or driven away.

The number of mosquito corpses was definitely not as many as they had encountered. They must have left quickly after realizing that they were not good people. These creatures had a certain level of intelligence and knew how to coordinate attacks. After daybreak, different creatures might attack everyone.

At this time, the sun had already climbed up from the horizon with difficulty, and a large area of bushes in front had been violently cleared. After Asan and the water-based mutants extinguished the flames, the hovercraft finally started.

Tan Yan let Liang Xian rest his head on his thigh, and felt relieved when he saw Qiu Qizhen taking over the responsibilities of commander.

Even if Liang Xian did not have the fortuitous encounter, the Superpower Team did not retreat at all.

This is not a team that relies on one person.
