Data Wasteland

A few days later, on the edge of Grasse Hills.

The gray-brown land is rugged, broken rocks and overgrown with weeds, barren and dead.

"Boom boom boom..."

The roar of the engine broke the calm of the past, the wheels ran over gravel and withered grass, wild heavy metal music came from the radio, and the body shook and swayed straight ahead.

The sound disturbed the sickle beetle that perched on the back of the soil slope. They raised their heads one after another. After determining the direction, the elytra on the back was erected, and the transparent membrane wings splayed backward, agitating at high speed, and rising vertically like a helicopter.

Chen Xing in the car saw that his hands were still holding the steering wheel, and with a thought, two mirror images were separated in the co-pilot and the back row. The main body continued to drive, the avatar took out two assault rifles from the storage space and fired at the beetle group that was flying.

Chen Xing is now the pinnacle of the guard level, only one step away from the big guard level, and his physical fitness has reached the standard. As long as he has a sense of psychic energy and breaks through the barrier of the spiritual pond, he can build a tower.

A shuttle blue bullet pierced the air, dragging the azure blue trajectory to shoot at the beetle swarm, the carapace was instantly broken, the cracks spread all over the body, and the dark green juice splashed everywhere.

Of the twenty sickle beetles, more than half was lost in one face, and the rest raised their sickles and swooped down. Chen Xing manipulated the vehicle to make a serpentine roundabout, and the beetle's attacks failed one after another, and then he was killed one by one by the clones with the sheath knife drawn out at close range.

After leaving a corpse, the off-road vehicle continued to move forward, and soon a new attacker was attracted by the sound.

It was a mountain centipede, with its shiny black carapace rubbing against the gravel on the ground, its tentacles beat back and forth, and thousands of tiny feet supporting the huge body to move rapidly.

One clone shoots with an assault rifle to delay the action of the mountain centipede, while the other clone takes out the sniper rifle, concentrates its energy, compresses the psychic energy, and conducts a deep strike. In a short while, the mountain centipede was beaten in rage, with juice flowing across it, and the last rocket bomb completely ended it.

The barren land is always perilous. Soon after handling the centipede, Chen Xing suddenly felt his heart and turned the steering wheel abruptly. The wheels made a harsh rubbing sound and turned abruptly through a ninety-degree turn.

A huge insect tongs broke out of the ground and rushed straight up. If it was half a second later, the off-road vehicle would be scrapped.

[Red Earth Ant Lion (Guardian)]

[Vitality: 681/681]

[Innate ability: Burrow, Ambush, Spiked Worm Shell, Spiked Assault]

[Possible viruses: none]

The red earth ant lion is the most common mutant creature in no man's land after the cataclysm. The essence of nuclear radiation is a kind of psychic energy full of harmful impurities. Compared with beasts, insects with relatively simple genetic structure can adjust themselves to adapt to a new environment.

The impact of undercurrents in time and space and the environment covered by global nuclear radiation have promoted the size of the originally tiny insects. Ant-lions are also called "sand monkeys". They are only the size of mung bean grains. They are often caught by children in the countryside to play, but they are larger than trucks after mutated. They are good at digging, they like to lurch in the ground waiting to pass by, and use two large tongs to kill them.

From the perspective of the size of the worm clamp, this ant lion is larger than a yacht.

The car turned sharply, and the car body tilted more than 30 degrees due to the high speed. Two "Chen Xing" pulled the car door and turned back and shot, and the main body also pulled out the silver star to help. The three muzzles spouted fire tongues at the same time, and the bullets broke out in the joints of the insect tongs with a blue light.

A large amount of star sand and fragments of insect shells were sprayed backwards, and the dull wailing of insects came from the ground.

The painful ant lion struggled to get out of the ground. The insect body was dotted with black diamond-like crystals, and the crystals had sharp insect spines, like a cactus ball. I saw it quickly twisted its body, the thorns contracted into the body, and then with a "poof", it shot out spikes all over the sky.

Chen Xing stopped the vehicle urgently, and the body and the clone simultaneously used force to turn the body side to block the spiked rain.

After a series of penetrating sounds, the off-road vehicle was pierced into hedgehogs, and Chen Xing's two avatars were scratched by spikes and turned into star sands and disappeared. The body teleported to behind the rock more than ten meters away before the spike rain arrived.

Only the red earth ant lions above the guard level can launch spike attacks. Although they are powerful, they cannot be used continuously. Chen Xing released the avatars again, and the two avatars ran to the off-road vehicle to retrieve the fallen weapon, and then separated and fired at the Antlion.

This is the attack formation that Chen Xing thought of combining his own abilities. He himself called it a "triangular attack". It attacked from three different directions from the main body and two clones, which could beat a single powerful enemy round and round.

The advantage of red earth ant lion is thick carapace and great strength, but the disadvantage is low agility and slow movement. The spike attack is a big killer for thin-armored targets, but once it is used up, it will be very inferior to a flexible opponent like Chen Xing.

What's more terrible is that its opponents adopted a strategy of slamming and hitting the west, one escape and two fights, without even touching the corners of the clothes.

"Da da da!" "Boom boom boom!"

The bullets full of psychic energy repeatedly hit the joints, and finally ruptured and died. The worm clamps and hind limbs of the red earth ant lion were knocked out, and it became an immobile "bread".

It screamed in anger, glowed red all over, and its body swelled and enlarged. Chen Xing had a bad idea and retreated quickly. The red earth ant lion swelled several times, and suddenly there was a muffled noise, the insect body burst, and the corpse and body fluid mixed with spikes roared in all directions, several times denser than the spike attack just now.

Chen Xing teleported three times before avoiding it. The off-road vehicle was stabbed into a cactus, and gasoline leaked everywhere. Chen Xing picked up some useful things and switched to walking.

For him now, transportation is not necessary. He can ride a wolf and is faster than a jet locomotive in complex terrain.

It's just that, summoning Yu Ling needs to continue to consume psionic energy. Although his domain is an endless sea and the psionic energy reserve is abundant, when it is exhausted, it cannot be used at will.

The geographical environment of Grasse Hills is very harsh, with stones and gray-brown semi-polluted land everywhere. The vegetation is sparse here, and the radiation can only slowly melt away with time. There are not many things to eat here, so the deeper you go, the fewer mutated creatures.

On the second day of the walk, Chen Xing saw two refugees near a Jishuitan.

Jishuitan is a place where rainwater gathers nearby. It rarely rains in the Grasse hills, and the remaining water must be in a very deep pool or pot-shaped pool. The water storage capacity is large and the area in contact with the air is small. Natural evaporation is slow, and the water can be preserved.

The skins of the two refugees are copper-colored and shiny, just like A Qiaomu's, which is the main symbol of the sand people.

They looked at Chen Xing warily, neither approaching nor leaving.

Chen Xing stretched out his thumb and tail finger at the same time. This is a common gesture in the clay world, which means "deal".
