Chapter Twenty-Three: The Vulnerable Intruder
In the forest south of the coastline, two figures appeared in a hurry.
"Teacher Zheng, the explosion is in front of you."
Lu Ze pointed in a direction to the right.
Not long ago, when they were sheltering from the heat in the forest, they heard a loud noise coming from nearby, so they came to check on the situation.
"If you encounter a strange beast later, I will open the shield to attract firepower as soon as possible, and then you go up and smash it with your skills, understand?"
Zheng Chengan, who was walking behind, kept looking at the surrounding environment and looked vigilant.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Lu Ze's eyes.
Sometimes it's not a good thing to have superhuman abilities.
Ever since he traveled here and awakened his talent [Speech Spirit-Gravity Control], he was used as a "gun" by the head teacher and was at his disposal.
However, every time the innate ability is used, it consumes a lot of mental power.
On the way here before, in order to kill a strange beast, he almost didn't let him lose his spirit, and passed out on the spot.
"Did you hear what I said?"
Zheng Chengan's voice came from behind him, with a hint of impatience in his words.
"Got it."
Lu Ze nodded, suppressed his dissatisfaction and continued to move forward.
Soon, a glimmer of light appeared in the gloomy forest.
A fire, to be exact.
In Lu Ze's sight, all the trees not far away were on fire.
From the trunk to the branches and leaves, they were engulfed in flames, and from time to time there was a crackling sound.
"What the hell is going on?"
Lu Ze walked quickly through the woods engulfed in flames, and a blinding light suddenly struck.
He raised his arm to shield himself from the sun, and it took him a while to get used to it before he dared to open his eyes and look around.
By mistake, Zheng Chengan and Lu Ze were lucky to come to the shoreline.
But the long-lost blue sky and the boundless black ocean did not make the mood of the two happy.
Because the forests near the coastline have been engulfed in fire.
Many areas have been scorched with dreaded heatwaves.
There are also many strange beast corpses floating on the shore, all of which are strange-looking sea creatures, a combination of a megalodon and a giant crocodile.
Just when Lu Ze was surprised, Zheng Chengan suddenly pulled him, and at the same time raised his hand to the island in the distance.
"Look over there!"
Lu Ze looked in the direction of his finger and found that there was a small raised island in the sea not far away, and there was a two-story safe house standing on it.
At the same time, two figures on the island also looked this way.
"That safe house is different from ours, it looks like it's been upgraded!"
Zheng Chengan's dusty face showed an extremely fanatical look.
He patted Lu Ze on the shoulder vigorously: "Otherwise, let's snatch the safe house!" ”
When Lu Ze heard this, he immediately shook his head and took a few steps back: "No, we can't do this!" ”
Zheng Chengan's smile froze on his face, and he immediately dragged the boy who looked flustered.
"Ozawa, as you know, our safe houses were all destroyed by mudslides."
"If we hadn't been lucky enough to find a cave yesterday, the two of us would have been coke by the heat!"
As he spoke, he also led Lu Ze to the charred corpse of the alien beast, his words full of threats.
Seeing that this guy was still unmoved, Zheng Chengan was anxious.
"Squad leader, they're still trapped in the forest, don't you want them to have an accident?"
"If we don't find a safe house to live in, how can we save people?"
Lu Ze's eyes flickered suddenly, and it seemed that this sentence accurately hit his weakness.
He looked at the two figures on the island, recalled the promise he had made to the squad leader, and struggled violently in his heart.
But in the end, the teenager made a difficult choice.
Seeing Lu Ze's painful expression, Zheng Chengan showed a cruel smile.
"I used to open a wooden chop from the newcomer's lucky bag, and now it can come in handy!"
Zheng Chengan discharged the wood to the surface of the water, and then took the reluctant Lu Ze and rowed towards the island.
……
On the other side of the island.
Lin Zimo hid beside the watchtower and looked at the wooden raft that was gradually approaching, revealing a puzzled gaze.
"Brother Ye, aren't they afraid of death, they dare to row over directly?"
"Let's not mention that there are people guarding the shore, what if there are monsters in the sea?"
Chen Ye, who was standing next to the island and reef and was always paying attention to the situation, swept over the two intruders with a cold gaze, and his expression gradually became solemn.
"Since they can row over without hesitation, it means that they have been prepared."
"And looking at that menacing appearance, I didn't come to the island to borrow it."
Chen Ye directly strengthened the handmade crossbow he had just received into a new type of composite crossbow.
After putting on the bowstring and installing the crossbow arrows, it was handed over to Lin Zimo.
Then he took out another crossbow and stood on the shore and made an attack stance.
And put your finger on the trigger and you can deliver a fatal blow at any time.
As the wooden platoon arrives on the island, the situation suddenly becomes tense.
As the distance narrowed, Zheng Chengan became more excited after seeing the whole picture of the watchtower.
Immediately, he shouted through the rough sea: "The safe house is good, we want it!" ”
Chen Ye frowned, thinking that he had misheard.
Where did the middle-aged man with the Mediterranean hairstyle come from?
Do you dare to say such arrogant things, not afraid of death?
He was about to open his mouth to curse, but he heard the young man on the wooden raft say something in a strange language.
Then, a circle of light emitting white ripples suddenly appeared in mid-air.
Chen Ye and Lin Zimo showed surprised expressions at the same time.
What is this ability?
But before they could think about it, the aperture suddenly fell.
"Boom"
The two of them were directly restrained on the ground and couldn't move, their bodies became extremely heavy, and their ears were filled with noisy buzzing sounds.
The surrounding light was even distorted, and transparent ripples spread out in all directions, centered on the aperture.
Seeing that the two on the island had lost their combat effectiveness so quickly, Zheng Chengan couldn't help but smile wildly.
And Lu Ze, who was standing next to him, was really relieved.
Being able to resolve the battle without seeing blood is already the best result so far.
But the next scene made the two people on the wooden row also fall into shock.
I saw Chen Ye and Lin Zimo struggling for a moment, and it didn't take long to get rid of the oppression of the aperture and slowly stand up!
Theoretically, the effective output and duration of offensive talents are closely related to the level of their own source power.
If the Source Force level is higher than the target, the abilities applied to the target will be 100% successful and last longer.
If it is close to the target, the probability and duration of the release will be halved.
If it falls below the target, the probability of success is no more than 10%, and the duration will be very short.
Chen Ye and Lin Zimo's source power level had already reached the 2nd level, so they naturally quickly broke free.
Breaking away from the influence of the aperture, Chen Ye quickly raised the compound crossbow to shoot.
After Zheng Chengan saw the crossbow arrow, he immediately crossed his hands in front of him, and a translucent green shield quickly condensed and formed.
The shield is more than two meters tall and looks very thick.
Even the strengthened crossbow bolts left only a shallow pit in the shield.
Lu Ze, who was standing next to him, released his mysterious aura again under the urging of Zheng Chengan.
But at the same moment, a cold arrow flew out from behind the side of the island.
The pitch-black crossbow bolt bypassed Zheng Chengan's defensive angle and cut a strange arc in the air, aiming directly at Lu Ze.
In order to avoid the attack, Lu Ze was about to blurt out a spell, but he was immediately interrupted.
The aura in the air, which had not yet taken shape, disintegrated and dissipated in an instant.
Although the crossbow bolt failed to hit, it also made the two people on the wooden platoon mess up.
Lin Zimo put down the compound crossbow and took a deep breath.
She hadn't even killed a chicken on weekdays, let alone hurt anyone.
That's why when he met those three people in the forest yesterday morning, he hid in the bushes and didn't dare to come out to help Chen Ye share the pressure.
But now, Lin Zimo's mentality has changed.
The words that Chen Ye said before kept echoing in her mind.
"Only by becoming stronger can you protect the people you want to protect!"
That's right, she wants to become stronger, and she can't be the same again.
Because it's the last days!
Lin Zimo's sudden attack bought Chen Ye a lot of time.
Taking advantage of the other party's unpreparedness, he raised his crossbow and shot an arrow.
Zheng Chengan sensed the danger and immediately raised his big shield to block.
"Smack" with a crisp sound.
This time, the hard, sharp crossbow bolt was nailed directly to the surface of the shield.
Zheng Cheng'an's face was different, but he didn't care too much.
The shield condensed by talent is very thick, and it is impossible to break it with manpower!
Thinking of this, he directly raised his shield and jumped ashore and rushed towards Chen Ye's location.
Chen Ye quickly dodged, and at the same time wound it with one hand, and once again raised the crossbow and fired an arrow.
Compared to the increase in Lin Zimo's five senses, Chen Ye found that his body had become lighter, and his strength had increased a lot compared to before.
It seems that everyone has their own direction of growth.
The arrow hits the shield again.
This time, the thick shield was broken, and many fine cracks spread to the vicinity.
Zheng Chengan's expression was suddenly shocked, and his posture of running forward was also affected.
Chen Ye, who was standing in the distance, accurately captured this subtle change.
It seems that this translucent shield has another mystery!
He adjusted the compound crossbow to the ready-to-fire state, and at the same time changed his position, raised the crossbow and pulled the trigger.
A scream pierced the air, and sharp crossbow arrows shot sideways towards Zheng Chengan.
Zheng Chengan endured the sharp pain in his chest, raised the giant shield and turned around to easily intercept the crossbow arrows.
But before he could stand firmly, he found that Chen Ye had disappeared in place.
When he came back to his senses again, the man had already appeared behind him.
It's outrageously fast!
Chen Ye put away the crossbow arrow, turned to a clenched fist, and smashed it the crack in the shield.
The increase in power brought by the second-order source force is not something that ordinary people can withstand.
Even if the boxing champion comes, he has to weigh it.
Zheng Chengan is just an ordinary person, and although he absorbed some life essence on the way through the forest, his source power is still at the first level.
In the face of the oppressive force, he flew directly upside down.
The shield could not resist the impact, and shattered in response.
Zheng Chengan's eyes flickered, and he vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot.
Chen Ye's strength completely exceeded his expectations.
A solid shield condensed with vitality, those huge Rafflesia can't help it.
I didn't expect the human in front of me to be able to directly burst the shield.
It's horrible!
"What are you doing in a daze, quickly activate your natural ability and smash both of them to death!"
Zheng Cheng spat on the bloody saliva and ordered towards Lu Ze, who had just landed on the shore.
After Lu Ze saw Chen Ye's figure, he already understood the seriousness of the matter.
He glanced at the head teacher on the ground, and then slowly raised his hands.
"These two will also sneak up with crossbow arrows, as long as you can ......"
Zheng Chengan thought that Lu Ze was going to start a counterattack, and he was excited as if he had won the battle.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, the aperture in the air dissipated.
"I don't fight, I surrender!"
Lu Ze raised his hands high, and then squatted on the ground with his head in his hands.
"What the hell are you doing, looking for death?"
After seeing this scene, Zheng Chengan scolded.
He struggled to stand up, but was directly knocked unconscious by Chen Ye's punch.
