Chapter 8 Let me go
At half past eleven o'clock in the evening, Wu Ming finally fled back to his residence in the new city with Li Xia, and the road was extremely thrilling, with people screaming and panicking everywhere, and a large number of soldiers with weapons in hand entering Yucheng.
That's right, this is a real soldier, it seems that the official response speed is still very fast, and it is thanks to the defense line established by these armed soldiers in the streets and alleys, otherwise it is still unknown whether Wu Ming and Li Xia can escape.
The speed at which the insects are born is too fast, the corpses that have been killed or the living can be parasitized, and the speed at which the parasitic beetles reproduce is also extremely fast, and now the insects in several areas of Yucheng may have reached thousands, or even more.
Of course, in addition to the insect man, there are more terrifying monster cards that have been activated, before Wu Ming and Li Xia saw the huge figure in the flames that was more than four meters tall a few streets away, it was obvious that it was an existence countless times more powerful than the insect man.
Wu Ming just glanced at it and knew that it was definitely not something he could deal with now, not to mention himself, even if he came to the last company, it was not enough for the monster to kill.
It wasn't until he returned to his nest and locked the sturdy security door that Wu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Xia fell into a kind of panic and sluggishness from the beginning, obviously all this happened was really beyond her cognition. Seeing Li Xia sitting on the sofa in a daze with a pale face, Wu Ming didn't disturb her, but took a bottle of sweetened carbonated drink from the refrigerator, opened the bottle, and put it within Li Xia's reach.
Sweetened carbonated drinks can effectively relieve tension and fear, Wu Ming also took a bottle for himself, and then walked to the window and opened the corner of the curtain to look out.
The streets in his area are relatively quiet, but at the moment there are some people running in a hurry, and some residents in the surrounding communities have begun to pull their things to the car in large bags, preparing to escape.
Seeing this, Wu Ming smiled faintly, at this juncture, how could he leave easily, not to mention that the road leading to the outside of the city has been blocked now, even the official now needs to send a large number of soldiers into the city, maybe some of the main roads in and out of the city have been controlled by the military.
In addition, the chances of encountering danger outdoors are too great, and if you encounter a worm, it is called suicide.
Wu Ming knows that it is safe at the moment, according to his memory, the community he is currently in belongs to one of the several 'safe zones' in Yucheng, and the real disaster area is the area where the card fell, which is concentrated in the old city. In my memory, it won't be long before soldiers will be stationed in several large neighborhoods around here, and it can be said that it is the safest place in the entire Yucheng in a short period of time.
This period of time is also the time for Wu Ming to set aside himself to awaken, before Wu Ming has successively obtained four units of vitality, which is less than expected, and these four units of vitality, Wu Ming has all absorbed, liliang, speed, etc.
And next, what Wu Ming has to do is to collect the Yuan Qi free in the air in this sturdy house, and slowly awaken, and in fact, from tonight, the Yuan Qi in the air has reached a concentration that can be collected, according to estimates, in a day, about a unit amount of Yuan Qi can be collected. And if you want to awaken, you need at least twenty-four units of vitality, that is to say, Wu Ming needs to wait for another twenty days.
Looking at the large number of daily necessities stored in a single material, Wu Ming smiled faintly, let alone twenty days, it is no problem to persist for half a year, provided that it does not fall here. However, according to Wu Ming's memory, Yucheng will fall in two months, but fortunately, in two months, it can be said that it is more than enough to rely on the awakening of the vitality collector.
The night is dark, but at this moment, no one in the entire Yucheng is sleeping. All the channels on the television were temporarily converted to emergency channels, announcing official announcements.
"We advise all citizens to stay in their homes, close their doors and do not go out, because the military has sent troops to ensure everyone's safety due to the terrorist incident in the city!"
On the TV, the female anchor read the script over and over again, but this kind of broadcast was suddenly interrupted at one o'clock in the morning, and it was directly replaced with a warning in red font on a blue background, but the content was the same as what the female anchor said just now.
This night is destined to be sleepless, even Wu Ming, who knows that all this will happen, can't sleep, he and Li Xia have been chatting, talking about this disaster, talking about future plans, Wu Ming wants to tell Li Xia that he is reborn back, he knows that all this will happen, and he knows what Shijie will be like in the future.
But Wu Ming didn't say it in the end, after all, this was too shocking, but about the experience of how to survive in this cruel shijie, Wu Ming decided to tell him.
In Wu Ming's view, Li Xia is not an outsider.
Hearing Wu Ming say what vitality, what awakened person, and even the card, Li Xia did not show disbelief, but she was thoughtful, after all, she had seen the terrifying insect man with her own eyes.
Naturally, Li Xia asked what Wu Ming had expected a long time ago.
"How do you know this?"
Wu Ming smiled, but shook his head and said: "It's better that you still don't know, if you want to survive, just remember what I said, and what I just told you should also be kept secret, don't tell anyone else for the time being." ”
Li Xia knew Wu Ming, what he wanted to do was that the nine cows couldn't pull it back, and if he didn't want to say it, he wouldn't say anything, so she didn't ask again.
Fortunately, she trusts Wu Ming, at least at this time, trust is the most important link. For trustworthy people, even if the other party hides something from you, you won't suspect anything, and for someone you don't trust, even if the other party tells you everything, you still think it's a lie.
For three days in a row, the two of them spent time in this three-bedroom house, one for each of the two bedrooms, and the other slightly larger bedroom was full of living materials, Li Xia was indeed startled when she saw this room for the first time, obviously Wu Ming had been prepared, but she didn't ask anything.
In three days, Wu Ming also successfully collected three units of vitality and absorbed them all.
Now Wu Ming has absorbed seven units of vitality, and the effect is that he has twice as much liliang as a normal person, naturally according to the official statement of the new shijie, anyone can absorb the free vitality in the air, but the effect varies from person to person, some people can awaken in two or three months or even less, while some people take five or six months or longer, and even some people can't awaken at all because of physical problems.
During this period of time, Yucheng can be said to often hear dense gunfire, and even cannon sounds, but the specific battle situation is not something that Wu Ming can know. However, Wu Ming knew that Zuihou must have the advantage of the worm man, and at this time, there should already be a second form of worm man.
The second form of the insect people will grow a strange shell in some key parts, this outer carapace is extremely tough, even ordinary bullets can not penetrate it, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a kind of armor, in addition, they will have a pair of sharper teeth in their mouths, and sharp bone spurs will also grow on their hands, which can be said to be a strengthened version of the first form, and the combat power is several times that of the first form of the insect people, which is naturally more difficult to deal with.
In addition to this, another reason for Wu Ming to know the seriousness of the situation was that from the window, there were already many citizens who had taken refuge here, some of them were hiding in the corridor, and some of them had set up tents outside.
The power supply had been stopped two days earlier, the sky was getting dark, and the surroundings were slowly falling into the night, Wu Ming and Li Xia were about to cook a meal with the alcohol stove when they suddenly heard a frightened scream from downstairs.
Wu Ming and Li Xia hurriedly squeezed to the window to look down, but they saw a shocking scene, a sewer manhole cover on the street was opened at this time, and an insect man quickly crawled out of the sewer and pounced directly on a passerby, and the scream was made by the latter before he died.
In an instant, there was a complete chaos below, and some of the people who had taken refuge downstairs began to flee in all directions, while others wanted to hide in the nearby corridor, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
At this time, Wu Ming and Li Xia saw that there were twin sisters less than five years old in a car on the corner of the street downstairs, they were obviously trapped in the car, and after killing a person, the insect man locked his eyes on this car.
"Oh no, those two children are dangerous!" When Li Xia saw this, she immediately went downstairs to save people. Wu Ming knew that Li Xia was extremely soft-hearted and had a great sense of justice, and belonged to the type of love overflowing, and when he saw this situation, he must have to take action, but letting her go was simply sending her to death, but he hurriedly grabbed her and said: "You go down for nothing, can you beat that monster?" ”
"What then? Did you watch two children get killed by that monster? Wu Ming, you must have known that this kind of disaster would happen, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have prepared so many supplies, and you wouldn't have suddenly come to me a few days ago, and it would be impossible to kill that kind of insect monster, I know you, I trust you more, there are some things you don't say, I won't ask, it's just different now, I know that going downstairs at this time will be very dangerous, and I may die, but at this time, I can't do it, I really can't do it, they're just two children! Li Xia stared at Wu Ming, her big eyes didn't blink, flashing with tears, but she saw that Wu Ming was a little weak.
Two or three seconds later, Wu Ming was defeated, and seemed to have made up his mind and said: "It's better for me to go, you stay here, lock the door, and don't open the door if anyone knocks except me!" With that, Wu Ming quickly put on the armor, put on a baseball cap, and walked out of the room with a Tang knife.
