Chapter 21: Escape (4)
On the barren yellow mud ground, there are dead trees that break their waists, and they stand in the way of the travelers.
Wei Wei's black wall spreads for several miles on both sides, with a height of three zhang, and there are beacon towers and battlements, which are imitations of the great buildings of the ancient country of the home planet.
However, there is a difference between the two times, and the wall is welded from a large number of new alloy bricks, and the outside of the wall is carved with exquisite patterns that modern people like.
Even if it was deserted by the disaster, it did not become quaint, and there was still a trace of cold and noble.
In order to speed up, Qin Ming did not run towards the opening of the city gate, but went straight to the wall.
The chain thrown out broke through the air, and the sharp front end was forcibly nailed into the wall, dragging Qin Ming at the other end to easily borrow his strength, climbing along the wall and jumping into it.
As one of the largest residential areas in Lily of the Valley, it is well planned with straight passages leading to the hinterland, and the buildings are also gradually raised in the direction of the interior.
At first, they were low-rise shops of various shapes along the roadside, but as they went deeper, they came across a large guild hall with a significantly higher height and a wider area, and the innermost area was a huge circle surrounded by twelve black high-rise buildings in the shape of a spire.
The inner area of the Great Circle was originally a man-made lake with a depth of more than thirty meters, but now it has become muddy, like a filthy swamp.
In the context of global desertification, it is a miracle to be able to retain water, no matter how ugly, but the black swamp here gives people a faint sense of oppression.
And the surrounding environment is too quiet, although most of the Zerg are gathered in the central area, but there are also a large number of rangers scattered outside, it is impossible not to have never been involved here, but the truth is so unreasonable.
Entering this area, the flying snake became a little irritable, and no longer had a playful mentality towards the prey fleeing from the ground, so the high-frequency energy pulses that were roughly positioned continued to shoot out.
Bang!!!
The energy that had sunk into the ground propped up the round form, and suddenly exploded in all directions, and the raging energy turbulence dissipated everything around it.
In a short period of time, the road passed through was turned beyond recognition by the powerful firepower, and the spread of the area was rapidly expanded.
Although the attacks became dense and fast, they didn't seem to have much effect on Qin Ming, but instead made him more comfortable.
The rapid vertical leap twisted towards Yu Youzi had already made it impossible for Yu Youzi to shell the flying snake, and she could only hold Qin Ming honestly.
Smelling the masculine aura emanating from the other party, her face was slightly red, today was the most tense and exciting day she had experienced in the past eighteen years.
It's best to be able to escape, and if you can't, you don't have too many regrets.
The closer he got to the destination, the calmer Qin Ming became, he wanted to see the two tigers fight, but the process must be well controlled, otherwise he would be killing himself.
Seeing that the attack had not worked, the flying snake couldn't help but let out an angry scream, which was completely different from the previous smugness.
So it decided to take the risk of lowering its height, like a swooping fighter plane skimming to the ground, unleashing a chaotic air flow as it passed between two spires.
The glass windows of the high-rise buildings on both sides were torn off by this force, and then flipped and fell in the process of lifting.
It took a long time before there was a clanging sound, but it was nothing compared to the intense energy-covered bombardment ahead.
Qin Ming held the hilt of the knife back, and the other crystal blessing on his right hand opened the energy shield, protecting his own safety, while also looking for an opportunity to retreat and approach the swamp.
When they were almost on the shore, the flying snakes that swirled back and forth at low altitude had already covered the area where the two of them were standing under light and fire.
In the precarious situation, Qin Ming had to not even kneel on the ground to reduce the protective area so as not to be injured by the ubiquitous shock wave.
The explosion filled the surroundings, shaking his eardrums with a faint pain, and he turned his head sideways and shouted, "Help get a shot!" ”
"What?!" Yu Youzi asked loudly, she couldn't hear what Qin Ming was saying at all.
Qin Ming could only put his face over and repeat it in the other party's ear, and only then did he successfully convey his meaning.
"Good!"
Although she didn't know Qin Ming's purpose, Yu Youzi nodded strongly and decisively accepted the task.
In an emergency, the two did not pay attention to the ambiguity in the conversation, but immediately took action.
Seizing the gap in the energy bombardment, Qin Ming suddenly got up, ignoring the flying debris behind him, and struggled to jump backwards to make room for his companions.
A trace of pain flashed in Yu Youzi's eyes, but she still meticulously adjusted the angle of the cannon barrel and shot it in the direction of the swamp.
The laser pillar suddenly expanded through the stone guardrail on the shore, blasting into the swamp with unrivaled might, and the mighty mud pillar rose into the sky!
The movement finally alarmed the creatures sleeping under the swamp, and a cold aura filled the entire swamp.
Feeling uneasy, the Flying Snake gave up bombardment of the ground and flew over the bubbling swamp, turning its tail to point downward, and then unleashing a powerful pulse of energy!
However, in addition to bringing a large-scale mud rain, it did not force out the true identity of the secret enemy.
The whole swamp boiled even more, like a pot of boiled thick porridge, and anyone could perceive the richness and ominousness.
Qin Ming, who was rarely idle, stood in the potholed bombing area, and was not in a hurry to turn around and escape, but observed the situation on the field with Yu Youzi.
"What's there?"
"A very special mutated creature."
When the Zerg invade, they will fully plunder the resources of the planet, including all indigenous creatures.
They will first create a special blood rain that envelops the world, transform and upgrade the indigenous creatures, and then go out in all directions after the arrival, hunt all kinds of creatures and drag them back to the mother nest, so as to produce new species of Zerg.
Humans have the original energy and are not afraid of this infestation, but ordinary creatures are not very resistant to this, and it is easy to become a bloodthirsty species and forcibly start the path of evolution.
The process is brutal, with a survival rate of only 1 in 1,000, and countless battles to become a suitable ingredient.
The brood on Bai Yuan Star was destroyed, and the Zerg was equivalent to losing the production line, and naturally they would not waste their efforts to search for mutated creatures scattered all over the place, which caused a very small number of creatures to mutate into monsters.
Woo~~~~
A low and distant strange voice came from the swamp, and Qin Ming noticed that his foothold was trembling slightly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a trace of arc.
"Here we are."
Before he could finish speaking, the entire swamp suddenly protruded in the shape of a semi-ellipsoid, and a black shadow suddenly broke out of it, rushing towards the flying snake in the air like lightning, and when the latter could not dodge, it tore off a pair of thin wings by inertia.
A large amount of blood erupted from the wound, and the flying snake let out a painful scream, looking back at the falling foe and spewing venom.
The corrosive pathogenic fluid landed on the attacker, and immediately made a rustling sound, causing half of his body to blur the flesh and blood.
"Chirp! Haw!!! ”
The mutated creature with red eyes was in pain, and landed on the sparse swamp, immediately opening its teeth and claws into the air.
Only then did Yu Youzi see the full picture of this mutated creature, a four-foot tall humanoid body, a flattened inverted cone head, thin and narrow limbs, eye-catching claws, and a tail dragging on the ground.
On the surface, the mutant creature didn't have strong muscles, and its flesh and blood were slimy, and it was stained with the black mud of the swamp.
But the high-speed jumping power of the previous burst, and the venom damage of B-class creatures with flesh and blood, showed that this mutant creature was not as simple as it seemed.
Qin Ming didn't know the origin of this monster, and when he found out that something was wrong with this place, he threw a few Zerg in.
After these zergs were able to move, they went to the swamp on their own, only to be dragged into the black mud by this mutated creature.
In the days that followed, Zerg would come here from time to time and fall into the trap here, as if something was attracting them as they passed by.
Based on the fact that this creature hunts Zerg in large numbers in the area, he calls it the Swamp Insect Catcher.
Losing a pair of thin wings, the Flying Serpent became wobbly in mid-air, and it was difficult to climb to height, so it angrily activated pulses of energy to shoot at enemies on the ground.
The insect catcher flashed to the side with a thud and ran quickly towards the building on the shore.
Qin Ming noticed that the other party's direction was a little closer, and indifferently raised the black-bladed battle knife.
The insect catcher is half as fast as him, but he is not a flying species, so he is not afraid.
There had been a battle between the two sides before, he was seriously injured, and the other party was almost split in half by the sword qi he slashed, so they both retreated in the end.
Apparently the insect catchers still recognized him, and bared their teeth in defiance, but in the end they did not launch a surprise attack on their side, but used their limbs to climb up the outer wall of the tall building.
Its speed was quite astonishing, and in a few blinks of an eye, it had reached a height of 100 floors, which was basically the same as where the flying snake was.
What would the twelve tower-like towers that were surrounded by a circle, combined with the bouncing power of this mutant creature that could jump hundreds of meters high?
Qin Ming didn't have to think about it to know that the other party was going to use that set of anti-air tactics to jump back and forth, but in the past, they were just some D-level zergs, but now they were opponents who were raised by two levels.
For safety reasons, he still took Yu Youzi into the nearest high-rise building, opened the false elevator door in the hall, and observed whether there were any traces of invasion by other creatures.
Nothing was noticed, so he turned his head and ordered: "You take care of your wounds here first, and then we can leave from here, and we can go to the abandoned craft factory ten miles away, and then leave from there." ”
Yu Youzi nodded with tears in her eyes, her calf had been pierced by gravel before, and the wound was still bleeding.
Qin Ming didn't pay attention to this trivial matter, but walked straight to the gate and observed the battle situation in mid-air.
