Chapter 39: Extermination
Apartment buildings, office buildings, university campuses, the three areas form an enclosed fan, surrounded on all sides by dense virgin jungle.
It's not all jungle, there are more trees near office buildings, so it's more appropriate to call it a forest.
Compared with forests, the distribution of trees in the jungle will be relatively thin, and the ecological environment, humidity and temperature will also vary greatly.
Two different regions can be linked together, all thanks to the end of the world, the earth and the other world are crushed by mysterious forces, and the reunited world is incomprehensible.
The first foot is a green jungle, and the next foot is a barren desert.
Humans are adapting and exploring the new world in this location, and so are otherworldly creatures.
Early the next morning, Zhou Ming sent a team of skeleton monsters to collect garbage near the office building, but the result was that the things were not received, and five skeletons were lost in vain.
His signal coverage is a three-kilometer radius, barely reaching the area where the office building is located.
It's a small area, with only two office buildings, and as of a week ago, the number of people alive was in their early twenties.
Compared to campuses and apartments, the situation is even more dire near office buildings.
The last time Zhou Ming fled to the apartment, it was because the office building was too dangerous, and a large red mushroom occupied that area.
Mushrooms are poisonous, but not lethal, and release a fragrant inducer.
Humans will hallucinate when they smell it for a while, and the first group of people who died were basically attracted by mushrooms to lie down under the red umbrella because of hallucinations.
The people behind learned wisely and found that masks can effectively reduce toxic gas intake, so they don't leave their masks every day.
Although there are still occasional hallucinations, it only takes a little reminder from others to wake up.
However, it is not only humans who are hallucinated by mushrooms, but nearby monsters are also attracted to the inducers released by mushrooms.
However, monsters are generally more resistant than humans, and they can't lie down for a while, so they will stink like they have been drugged before turning into fertilizer, causing devastating damage to the surrounding buildings.
An office building has been demolished by monsters, and the foundations and load-bearing columns have fallen apart in the bobbing tail of a giant earthworm, and the people hiding inside have all buried themselves in the rubble without even knowing what is happening.
Zhou Ming hesitated for a long time and decided to let go of the poisonous mushroom for the time being, this herb not only can't extract calcium, but it is a question of whether he has experience or not.
Weighing the two, monsters with flesh and bones are undoubtedly more fragrant.
The combat power that the skeleton monsters possess at the moment can be called an absolute overlord within a radius of three kilometers.
However, combat effectiveness is not the most terrifying thing about the skeletons.
The more you fight, the bigger and stronger, is the most terrifying thing about the skeletons.
Zhou Ming controlled the 'Little Chicken Eight' to circle around the territory several times, and basically figured out the depth of the monsters.
Then the soldiers divided into two ways, using the apartment building as the anchor point, one left and one right to carry out carpet killing.
One side is led by the human leader Little Bones, with two humanoid skeletons under his command, and the other side is led by the monster leader Little Short, and the lieutenant generals under his command are 'Little Tail', 'Presidential Set' and 'Personnel Carrier'.
Smallbones are responsible for cleaning up hordes of small creatures, while elite skeletons such as Smally Ones specialize in medium-large creatures.
The first day of receipt is as follows:
【Species Number—D586732】
[Scientific name: Wire praying mantis]
[Species: arthropods, associated species. 】
[Habits: gregarious, carnivorous, strong fecundity. 】
[Hazard Index: 3.] 】
[Species number—D586731]
[Scientific name: Clematis mantis]
[Species: Linear organisms, parasitic species. 】
[Habits: infectious, parasitic, strong fecundity. 】
[Hazard Index: 5.] 】
[Battle Report: Consume 10 bottles of insecticide, lose 3 level 2 skeletons, trample 754 enemies, and gain 377 experience.] 】
The wire mantis's strongest means of attack is to spray parasites from the anus, making it difficult for ordinary people's skin to play a defensive role.
Once infected, the parasite lays eggs in the body at a very fast rate, and the small parasites burrow into the internal organs along the blood vessels and wreak havoc.
Fortunately, the skeleton has no useless organs such as skin, blood vessels, and internal organs, and is perfectly immune to parasitic damage.
Battle Rating: Brilliant!
[Species number—D46817]
[Scientific name: Hemophilus]
[Species: link organisms, splinter species. 】
[Habits: carnivorous, slow, fecundity. 】
[Danger index: 1~30. 】
The bloodthirsty insect is the most terrifying insect that Zhou Ming has encountered so far.
Its splitting nature contains a variety of deadly threats, parasitic, poisonous, bloodthirsty, fusion, and manipulation.
When he first encountered the bloodthirsty insects, Zhou Ming didn't realize that the other party was a bug, because countless bloodthirsty insects had eaten up the body of a [giant lizard] and 'reorganized' it in the body.
The reconstituted creature still looks like a lizard on the surface, but in fact it has undergone a dramatic transformation on the inside, causing damage to the lizard, and instead of blood, a bunch of sticky bugs will burrow back into the body.
The slippery bug is basically immune to cold weapon damage, and if you slash it, it splits into two like no one, and this terrifying trait makes it extremely terrifying.
By manipulating the monitor lizard, the power of the bloodthirsty insect is highly unified, so the danger index will be displayed at 1~30.
There is only 1 single bloodthirsty worm, but the fused bloodthirsty worm can reach 30 or even more.
Fortunately, Zhou Ming discovered the danger in time and took out the deadly killer weapon from the garbage station as quickly as possible - 'salt'.
The electrolytes and alkaline components in the salt are used to successfully dry it out.
Because the surface of the body of the bloodthirsty insect is not covered with skin, this is the basis for their ability to merge at will.
But at the same time, they have a very high water content in their surface tissues, which is very similar to leeches.
Salt sprinkled on them will cause a higher concentration of the solution outside the skin, which will penetrate directly into the body and speed up the rate of mucus secretion until it is shriveled and dehydrated.
The power of science is so magical, and in terms of extermination, Zhou Ming's means are unfathomable.
[Battle Report: Consume 20 bags of refined salt, lose 15 level 2 skeletons, annihilate 1,348 enemies, and gain 674 experience.] 】
Battle Rating: Average.
The loss of skeleton monsters is a bit too much, because Zhou Ming has been a little tired from using his brain too much recently, and he has not used his mind to control the specific actions of the skeletons.
Then he was surprised to find that the combat power of the skeletons had increased significantly!
A few meanings???
Zhou Ming was a little unable to accept such a result, feeling that he had been betrayed, and his beloved little bones seemed to have been removed from a thousand shackles after losing himself, and his efficiency, strength, and speed had all been greatly improved.
The huge promotion of four words really hit him enough.
To be precise, it should be a recovery, using human behavior and habits to control the skeleton's actions, which is a weakening for the skeleton.
If there is an enemy sneaking up from behind during the battle, you don't have to turn around, and you can directly turn the skull, hand bones, and leg bones around in a circle, which is the fastest and most efficient way to deal with it.
Zhou Ming can't adapt to such a perverted way of using his body, and he can't adapt to it, what if someone greets him behind his back in the future, and as a result, he habitually twists his neck and breaks his head?
