Chapter 18 The Beekeeper
After Cliff received the title "Wicks", he also received the title of "Beekeeper", and established a master-servant relationship with the terrifying biochemical weapon, the Licker.
As the title suggests, the beekeeper refers to Cliff, and the hard-working bee is, of course, the licker.
The birth of this ability has increased his combat power by a geometric exponential degree, and his control power has increased from the original one licker to three heads.
Therefore, even if he faces two people at the same time, he is fearless!
A man who has abandoned long-range weapons of great deterrence, in Cliff. In front of Wicks, there are just slightly more powerful mortals.
Yun Qi ignored Cliff's question, he stopped and looked at Neo, who had not fully recovered from overusing his abilities, "You have made great progress, but you still have many shortcomings, and three of them are fatal. ”
When Neo saw the boss silently supporting him behind him, the flame of hope immediately burned in his heart. The whole person was also refreshed, and the pain that tortured the brain seemed to be much better.
He saw that the boss didn't mean to help, but found a secluded corner to sit down, and Barrett was also taken off his shoulder, but he didn't have a flat end in his hand, but threw it on the side of the chair very casually.
Then, he pulled out a crumpled cardboard box from his jacket pocket, and pulled out a crumpled cigarette from the box that looked down on the original pattern of the outer packaging.
This is Yunqi's last inventory.
In this damn apocalypse, everyday items become hot and become the second most common currency after food and water. Gold and dollar bills have become worthless garbage, and only those fools who hope that the times will return to the past will carry them with them.
Cigarettes are the fourth most popular cigarettes, behind food, water and medicine.
The cigarette case in Yun Qi's hand. Or a month ago, he killed a gang of robbers and found himself in their boss's clothes.
Just this box of cigarettes with a few left, accompanied him through a boring wandering life in the last days, and it is also one of the few "luxuries" that Yunqi can comfort people's hearts.
Now, without hesitation, he lit the last cigarette he had treasured for a long time. The refreshing smell accompanied by the spicy taste stimulated Yun Qi's respiratory tract and sense of taste, so that the boring senses were not stimulated too much for a long time.
He took a deep breath, and the long cigarette blinked in the blink of an eye, and under the strong suction, it was obviously half a short cut.
The shoddy tobacco, fueled by oxygen, turned into a gaseous state and injected into Yunqi's empty lungs.
Enjoying the last tobacco. Yun Qi gave Neo a meaningful look.
Although it was only a matter of eye contact, Neo immediately understood the meaning behind his actions.
Obviously, with the strength of the boss, it is just a matter of raising hands and feet to deal with the guy in front of him, and Aramis who broke into the darkness just now is a living example.
And now, Yun Qi hopes that Neo will take care of the licker in front of him himself, especially the biochemical weapon that once killed Neo and has no ability to think.
Come to think of it. Neo shook his head a few times, as if to banish the pain and distractions from his head.
With the boss in charge. He doesn't have many worries, once he lets go, his combat effectiveness will be 100% exerted immediately, and there will even be a slight premium.
However, after the real handover, Neo was in a disadvantageous position with his own attributes. It is difficult to change the final result with tenacious fighting spirit alone.
Moreover, Neo, who has become accustomed to talent fighting, does not rely on a moment and a half to change, this kind of combat habit. It's deep in Neo's marrow.
After only 26 seconds of thrilling battle, Yun Qi frowned.
He finally sighed. Years of habit, once abandoned, thought of as a denial of one's past.
To deny the past is to say that the confidence that has been painstakingly built up begins to crumble.
"Isn't it that I'm asking too much of him?" Yun Qi was hesitating when Neo's fighting style suddenly changed drastically, and the previous thrilling moves became fluid at this moment.
It seems to have turned back into the gangster boy who is skilled in war and has not served in the prophet!
Yun Qi's face suddenly looked much better, and the pistol in his pocket was also loosened - he couldn't really let Neo fend for himself, after all, the premise of sharpening a person was to save his life.
The Licker's stats are indeed higher than Neo's, but they are also limited, and the only thing that makes Neo feel constrained is that his telekinesis ability is too draining.
In the previous battle before Yun Qi arrived, a 0.2-second immobilization control overdrew his abilities, causing unimaginable damage to his spirit.
As the battle lengthened, Neo gradually gained a certain understanding of the Licker's combat routines.
Unfortunately, the longer the time, the faster his physical exertion.
As a slum child who has been malnourished for a long time, it is already rare to be able to last ten minutes in front of a licker.
However, Yun Qi's scolding sounded in Neo's ears: "Just a licker, will you be in a hurry?" ”
Neo was also pressed by the licker, shouting: "Its speed is too high, I can barely keep up with its speed, but it can't last!" ”
"Stupid, why don't you use abilities to interfere with the licker's actions?" Yun Qi's voice came again, with a faint love in addition to the blame.
"No way, my telekinesis control consumes too much, especially for a huge monster like the Licker, just by stopping its actions just now, it seriously overdrew my ability."
"This......" Yun Qi thought for a moment, and immediately thought of a countermeasure: "Who told you to forcibly control it, won't you push the boat down the river and take advantage of the situation to disturb the enemy?" ”
Under Yun Qi's prompting, Neo was also shocked.
He is also a smart man, but the habits he has developed over the years have made it easy for him to step into the blind spots of his thinking.
For example, in the practical use of telekinesis, he is more accustomed to the rampage of the gang when dealing with problems. This approach certainly has its own unique features, but in many cases, not knowing how to adapt tactics often leads Neo to a dead end
At this moment, the last licker, Alamis, once again activated the strength of its speed.
And Neo suddenly found that he was unknowingly forced into the dead corner of the castle hall by Alamis.
Sealed off by solid granite walls on the left and right rear, the only way to dodge was from above, and at right angles upwards.
"Damn, you've been tricked!"
Neo had just been so focused on the licker's trajectory that he didn't realize that the controlling Cliff had laid a death trap to solve his evasion.
In the brief engagement, Neo still missed Cliff by a move. (To be continued.) )
