Chapter 222: Finding the Survivors

All the attacks came from the air.

In a foggy sky, the effective distance of sight is only a few meters.

Beyond this distance is the range of the fog.

Countless black shadows intertwined and shuttled beyond the effective line of sight, forming a strange net, firmly covering the heads of everyone.

In the defensive formation formed by the covered people, as long as there is a little bit of defense that does not survive and there is a loophole or negligence, a sharp blow will immediately be sent from the sky.

The "batons" that were put together and equipped with spear tips were held in the hands of the people and pointed straight towards the sky, like a hedgehog using its own spikes to defend against external damage.

The attack of the "spear gun" is difficult to see results, and even the gun formation composed of many sharp "spear guns" is a little pale in the face of these flexible blows from the air.

Only the occasional flashing of powerful blue-white electricity from the tip of the spear will cause some damage to these attackers from the air.

An attacker who is attacked by an electric current and then paralyzed will immediately lose the ability to fly flexibly and maneuver, and then become a corpse with the cooperation of everyone on the ground.

Of the hundreds of corpses of the attackers on the ground, more than half were shot down due to the effect of electricity, others were lucky enough to stab joints and weak spots, and Zhang Cheng and the three of them were killed.

But this main defensive method will soon fail.

Because from the beginning of the battle to the present, more than eighty percent of the reserve batteries in Zhang Cheng's team have been consumed in a few hours.

Once the baton's battery ran out of power, the people on the ground were a little precarious in the face of the attack from the nimble and carapace-covered monsters in the air.

These monsters look a lot like wasps that have been magnified a thousand times from the outside.

Huge transparent fan wings, two compound eyes with no dead ends, a slender belly with a ring pattern, and a burst of sweet fragrance that can be smelled when you swoop close with a sharp black light at the end of the tail.

This situation is like a monster formed after magnifying a very ordinary wasp many times and adding a solid hard shell.

If it was a single wasp, or a small number of wasps, even if they became half the size of an adult, flew faster, and the poisonous needles on the tail of the tough carapace on the body surface were more violent, Zhang Cheng and the others would not have fallen into such a predicament.

The bad thing is that these wasps broke the habits of previous wasps when they mutated, and they began to appear in swarms.

A few hours earlier, Zhang Cheng and his team had carefully walked through the fog and dense forest following some traces that might have been left by humans.

But that changed when they found a survivor who looked like a nearby villager at the base of a leafy bush.

After discovering the unconscious villager, Zhang Cheng instructed everyone to take precautions in the same place, and then dispersed a number of team members to search nearby.

This is the first human to encounter since leaving the village, and it is more exaggerated to say that it should be the first non-plant creature they have encountered since leaving the village.

There was fog everywhere and vegetation everywhere.

In the dreary silence, Zhang Cheng and the others did not see a single animal or insect for several days.

Even a small ant, a fly and mosquito everywhere, not half of them were found.

This strange forest seemed to have swallowed all the animals except Zhang Cheng and them.

After a few days, it was not an ordinary team member, even Zhang Cheng and the three cultivators who had cultivated spiritual power began to panic.

The team member disappeared inexplicably.

The road is like a labyrinth that wastes their energy and time.

There is also a strange atmosphere that has been dull and depressed.

All this is like a big net full of fear, tightly wrapped around the hearts of all the team members all the time.

After gathering all the team members and discussing, Zhang Cheng and the others had to be more cautious, maintained a defensive formation, and began to search in the direction that several missing team members might have run away.

Give up on teammates, that's impossible.

Even if there is no meat harvest after leaving the village, Zhang Cheng will do his best to ensure the safety of every team member, and he needs to bring back all his "comrades-in-arms" completely.

Now, people are lost.

Although it was those annoying guys who didn't follow the discipline and ran away on their own.

But Zhang Cheng, as the captain, did not allow his "comrades-in-arms" to leave the team.

Not only Zhang Cheng, but also the collective voice of all other team members, including Zhang Cheng's two masters.

Don't abandon, don't give up.

This is everyone's decision.

The search process was dull and painstaking.

If it weren't for Zhang Cheng and his two masters who had the ability to fly and stay in the air, this team walking through the fog and dense forests might not even know where to go, let alone looking for people.

Relying on their ability to observe from the air, the human team carefully searched for their teammates after choosing a direction.

For the first few days, there was no trace of any biological activity other than theirs.

It wasn't until the fourth day, yesterday, that the team found traces of what appeared to be humans digging and eating "sweet roots" by a small stream.

Then, the team that finally found a trace began the "fire line rescue" along the looming trail.

Finally, five hours ago, they followed the trail and found a scarred, tattered villager who had passed out and was a little disappointed, under a thicket.

After seeing this middle-aged man who looked dressed like an ordinary villager, Zhang Cheng and the others immediately stopped the team, and then set up a simple defense and began to disperse the team members to patrol around, hoping to find more survivors and villages, they had been out for several days, and they needed something familiar too much to boost their morale.

Hope came suddenly, and disappointment came quickly.

The team members, who did not dare to disperse too far, found no trace of humans or buildings after finding a long circle around the unconscious villager.

Disappointed, Zhang Cheng had to recall the team members who were patrolling outside, and after arranging the staff on duty, he asked everyone to set up camp in the same place and rest here today.

I want to know that they came here after the traces of the villager's escape.

Now if you want to find other villagers from here, isn't this a boat asking for a sword?

Zhang Cheng, who was a little self-deprecating, patted his head vigorously, and the ubiquitous aura in the fog around him was like a naughty elf, as long as the exercises in his body were still running, they would desperately drill into it.

Even his own head is excited and crazy because of the strength of the crazy growth.

Many judgments and questions that used to be simple and didn't take much effort to think about have begun to deviate because of these spiritual energy and exercises.

His current brain is now as if it has been assimilated by the husky, and he is rushing all the time to spread joy and completely let himself go.

Unbelievable thoughts and uncontrollable fantasies came to my mind one after another.
