Billions of dollars in stockpiling: Doomsday begins with nuclear wastewater discharge
Chapter 23 Zombie Crystal
Bang, bang, bang!
More than 30 soldiers fired at the same time, and the bullets formed a dense firepower net that enveloped the mutants.
Puff! Puff!
Although the bullets could not cause much damage to the mutants, they had great firepower. For a while, they suppressed the mutants and prevented them from moving forward.
Seeing that he could not kill the mutants in front of him, Xiao Guo shouted: "You guys hold on first, I'll call a tank."
After that, he ran to the back.
At the same time.
Temporary combat command center.
The young man stood in the ruins with a frown on his face. More than a dozen soldiers had come to report that they were attacked by unknown monsters and suffered heavy losses.
"What on earth is it? Is it also a kind of zombie?"
"Hey, now that Chudu has fallen like this, I wonder how my sister is doing in Linxian?"
Thinking of this, the young man suppressed the idea of looking for his sister and immediately picked up the satellite phone and pressed it.
He had to report this situation to the military district command center immediately.
Soon, the call was connected.
"This is the headquarters. What can I do for you?"
"I am Lin Ye, the platoon leader of the 353rd Regiment of the 120th Division. I am located in Times Square, Nanshan District. According to reports from my soldiers, a large number of monsters have been found, and these monsters are not afraid of submachine gun bullets. My platoon has already sacrificed more than a dozen soldiers for this. I request support from the headquarters."
"Platoon leader Lin, the headquarters has received it. Please hold on for half an hour. The headquarters will immediately send reinforcements!"
Hang up the phone.
Lin Ye stood there anxiously.
Suddenly.
Boom--
A loud noise sounded on the street next to him, and a large amount of black smoke poured back towards this side.
Lin Ye steadied himself and wanted to go forward to find out.
The next second.
Roar--
A roar like an animal came.
Lin Ye's pupils shrank, and he saw a mantis-like monster about three meters in size rushing out of the smoke.
The reason why it is called a mantis is that the monster's arms are like two giant sickles, all gray, with an eight-petal mouth open, revealing dense and sharp teeth, and the body and lower body are human-shaped.
"What the hell is this thing?"
Lin Ye murmured.
The soldiers around him immediately stepped forward and fired.
But this monster didn't seem to be afraid of bullets at all. It kept approaching with a pair of sickles in front of its chest until it was two or three meters away from the soldiers. It suddenly jumped up and swung the sickles on its arms quickly.
Puff--
A soldier was cut into two pieces in an instant and fell down unwillingly.
Looking at the tragic scene in front of them, the other soldiers fired even more frantically, but the bullets were like tickling the opponent, and only half of them entered the flesh after hitting.
Seeing this, Lin Ye took out the grenade on his waist and shouted: "Get out of the way!"
After receiving the order, the soldiers immediately retreated.
The monster looked at the black object that drew a parabola in the air with curiosity.
But the next moment
Boom——
A large ball of fire rose up, and the hot air wave pushed the monster back repeatedly. The steel ball in the grenade penetrated into the monster's flesh under the thrust of the gunpowder, and the monster screamed in pain.
The monster was injured on the surface of its body, and it was enraged. Facing the soldiers' shooting, it no longer dodged and directly swung its sickle to chop.
Puff! Puff!
One minute later.
Lin Ye was the only one left on the battlefield.
He looked at the blood-stained monster and the bodies of his comrades in front of him in disbelief, and a sense of fear arose spontaneously.
"What... what is this?"
Just then.
A wave of air came from behind and hit the monster, and the explosion damage pressed the other side to retreat repeatedly.
Rescue has arrived.
…
“We’re here.”
Jiang Cheng pointed to a road ahead and said, “Find a hidden place to hide first. When I clear all the zombies here, you can come up and take out the things in the zombies’ heads.”
“Are you referring to the gray crystal?” Lin Rou had actually wanted to ask this question a long time ago. When she went out with Jiang Cheng in the morning, she killed more than 30 zombies. She saw Jiang Cheng taking something out of the zombies’ heads.
“Yes, these things are very important to me.” Jiang Cheng nodded and said solemnly.
Lin Rou saw Jiang Cheng was so serious and said weakly, “Can I ask what this crystal does?”
“…” Jiang Cheng was silent for a while.
Lin Rou thought Jiang Cheng didn’t want to say it, so she waved her hand and said, “I’m just asking. It’s okay if you don’t want to say it.”
Jiang Cheng shook his head.
This matter is not a big secret.
It doesn’t matter if you tell Lin Rou.
After all, Lin Rou has no hostility towards him at present, as can be seen from the fact that the friendliness level was as high as 75 when she entered the room information last night.
The probability of awakening after swallowing the zombie crystal is very low. Even if the other party knows, they may not dare to take the risk of death.
So he said: "This crystal is called a zombie crystal. It is condensed from the zombie virus in the body of a zombie. After ordinary people swallow this crystal, they can develop the potential of the human body and awaken the extraordinary genes hidden in the human body."
"For example?" Lin Rou asked curiously.
"If you want to give an example, it's like those superheroes in the movie. Some can breathe fire, some can be invisible, some are extremely powerful, and some can fly in the sky." Jiang Cheng said.
Hearing this, Lin Rou recalled those gray transparent crystals and couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
Looking at Lin Rou's expression, Jiang Cheng mercilessly interrupted: "I advise you to give up the idea of swallowing the zombie crystal. Although this thing can awaken extraordinary power, it is actually similar to poison. Ordinary people swallow it, and there is only a 500% chance of awakening."
"What about the remaining 50499?"
"Dead." Jiang Cheng said lightly.
Lin Rou was instantly distracted.
If it is really as Jiang Cheng said, this thing is indeed poison!
"Is there no way to reduce the mortality rate?" Lin Rou still said unwillingly.
"Yes!" Jiang Cheng nodded.
There is indeed a way to reduce the mortality rate caused by zombie crystals.
"What is it?" Lin Rou said excitedly.
"Exercise, keep getting stronger, when you reach the limit of your body, swallow the zombie crystal again, your awakening probability will become higher, of course, it cannot guarantee that you will awaken." Jiang Cheng's words completely dispelled Lin Rou's idea of swallowing the zombie crystal.
"Then forget it!"
Although he wanted to become an awakener, he didn't want to bet his life.
Lin Rou's answer surprised Jiang Cheng.
Few people can resist the temptation of awakening and take the risk of swallowing the zombie crystal. This female security guard was able to give up decisively. Jiang Cheng should look at her differently just for her decisiveness.
"Okay, besides becoming an awakener, you can also choose to exercise. As long as you keep exercising for many years, you will become a strong man one day." Jiang Cheng was not comforting.
In the end times, some people did become strong without swallowing the crystal.
I don't know if it is the compensation of Blue Star to humans after the flood. There is also a substance similar to spiritual energy in the atmosphere.
Ordinary people can also strengthen themselves by absorbing spiritual energy through cultivation, which is not much worse than awakeners.
Jiang Cheng once met such a master at the Linxian survivor base. He had a good relationship with the old man. They could be called friends regardless of age. The old man even planned to teach Jiang Cheng everything he had learned.
It's a pity that the old man was too old and lost too much of his life essence. Although he absorbed spiritual energy to strengthen himself, it didn't extend his life much. He died in the second month after Jiang Cheng entered the Linxian Survivor Base.
Recalling this, Jiang Cheng also felt a little sorry.
Now that he has been reborn, he also knows where the old man lives. The old man mentioned it to him.
If he can find the old man in advance, let alone whether he can learn everything he has learned, just for the sake of friendship.
Two months in advance, drinking his spiritual pool water every day, the old man may live longer.
