Chapter 3: The Void Marauders
"Crooked Bab, this thing is as hard as steel, if you have good teeth, you might as well give it a try!"
At this moment, Dave's voice sounded in his head.
Lin Chuang's face darkened when he heard this, and his mind moved, and he manipulated the pea shooter to change back into a seed form.
He reached out and grabbed the seed and stuffed it into his pocket, then picked up the bucket and turned to walk downstairs.
When he got back to his room, he took off the air-dried rat meat from the balcony, then took out half a glass of water from the water heater, put it on the table and began to eat.
Rat meat is very fishy and difficult for ordinary people to swallow, but for survivors, it is a great gift.
Everyone knows in their hearts what a miserable thing it is to maintain normal bodily functions in the last days, and if they try to pick and choose, they will only have to wait for death.
As for the grass carp he had just brought back, he was going to make it into dried fish and save it for later.
Outside, acid rain was still dripping, shrouding the entire city in an oppressive shadow, and a basketball-sized mutant rat quickly scurried past in the depths of the street corner, and finally disappeared into the darkness without a sound.
The zombies hobbled out into the streets, bathing in the rain.
They were covered in blood, looking up to the sky and roaring, and in their scarlet pupils, dark red blood sprinkled wildly, and with the dim sky, it became darker and darker.
"When this rain passes, we're ready to go."
Lin Chuang just looked at the scene outside the window and ate the rat meat little by little.
Now that the city's resources are almost exhausted, he doesn't want to mix with those so-called gangs and live his life with the crowd.
In the plan, his first goal is to run to the countryside and the suburbs, use Dave's ability to develop his own power, and then expand outward step by step.
Due to the remoteness of the terrain, the disaster situation should be much better than in the city, and there is enough soil to summon plants and resist the attacks of zombies and void creatures.
...
Time flies, and night falls.
The true fears of the last days are beginning to be truly revealed.
The moment the sun sets, the monsters that hide in the cracks of the void and are ready to attack will pour out of their nests and scatter around the world to harvest the various surviving creatures of the earth.
That's right, all kinds of creatures.
It's not just humans!
Other animals are also brutally hunted by Void monsters.
Perhaps, all this has been frozen from the beginning...
Their purpose is to destroy the earth!
And human beings can only witness all this happening.
"Howl!"
"Whew!!"
As night falls, the zombies become especially active.
Lin Chuang could see those zombies roaring in the rain through the cracks in the window.
They crowd and collide with each other, like the vast waves formed by the sea, endless, with no end in sight.
"It is said that the Void Civilization has more powerful scientific and technological power than the Earth.
At the beginning of the advent, he used some means to change the earth's magnetic field, so that all kinds of military weapons around the world failed without warning, and even communications were completely paralyzed. ”
"In just a few days, the world seems to have returned to the time of the barbarians long ago..."
Lin Chuang shook his head mockingly, got up and walked back to the room to start packing.
In fact, at the moment when mankind completely loses its military weapons, the world can basically be declared to have fallen.
And those zombies wandering in the outside world are just the tip of the iceberg in the end times.
…
Visible to the naked eye, in the depths of the void crack above the distant sky, something seemed to fly out one after another.
It's a mantis-looking alien monster!
They have long and narrow limbs, like the arthropods of a praying mantis, and are agile in a variety of terrains.
The limb is purplish-red, and beneath the hard shell is filled with tight black muscles.
This muscle is not comparable to the white and red muscles of humans.
The power exerted by it is dozens of times that of an adult man.
These arthropods also have black claw hooks at the ends.
The sharp barbs that grow on the claw hooks can easily tear apart iron plates, and their bodies can be easily fixed to various building ruins.
A pair of insect wings growing on both shoulders give them the ability to fly long distances.
It is even rumored that this terrifying monster will travel hundreds of kilometers to kill it in order to hunt a lucky escape target!
And that's not even the scariest of all.
The most terrifying thing is their terrifying evolutionary ability!
Claw hooks, insect wing areas, or various parts of the body can evolve at some point!
For the survivors, this invulnerable creature is simply the ultimate demon in the last days.
At the beginning of the apocalyptic eruption, the survivors gave it a title.
Void Marauders!
The biggest crisis the survivors are facing right now!
These monsters from the cracks of the void will slaughter all life in the dark night!
Rustle Rustle –
The marauders moved quickly on the ground, making a slight noise.
Some of them weaved among the wandering zombies, while others jumped directly onto the rock walls of high-rise buildings.
The marauders pierced the walls with their claws on their limbs, their massive skulls vibrating like rattlesnakes' tails.
It's a unique way for them to find their targets, and they quickly catch anyone within a radius or kilometer of someone making a certain sound.
Soon, one of the marauders spotted his prey.
It quickly melted into the darkness, and when the figure reappeared in the moonlight, a fresh corpse appeared in its mouth.
"Hoo ———"
"Looks like another unlucky guy has been tricked."
Lin Chuang looked at the marauder outside through the gap in the curtain, and couldn't help but sigh.
Void Marauders.
Wandering zombies.
As a result, the vast majority of survivors are trapped in the dark, and it is almost impossible to go out after nightfall.
"I don't know, with the current power of the pea shooter, can confront it."
Lin Chuang looked at the pea seeds in his hand, then gently put the luggage package in his hand to the door, and reached out to close the last gap in the curtain.
Although he was used to the night ruled by those marauders, he would have to face it one day.
Thankfully, though, the sun's rays gave him plenty of time to buffer.
The Marauders have lived in the dark Void for a long time, they are not adapted to the light of the day, and the ultraviolet rays contained in the sunlight can cause severe burns to the body of the Marauder.
So, when dawn illuminates the darkness, the marauders will retreat.
When the first rays of sunlight break through the night the next day, they return to the void cracks in the distant sky, waiting for the next night.
