Ch 89: TGCIR

A few minutes later, Li Weilan woke up.

Looking around, he didn’t find her projected avatar anywhere. He already anticipated what had happened to “her.”

Fu Yanzhou looked at his pale face and innocently blinked his eyes. In his view, regardless of who executed the task, the only thing worth considering was the success rate.

But from any perspective, the success rate of the big bear was much higher than Li Weilan’s. After all, everyone had seen its skills—able to tank, heal, and deal damage. Moreover, it rarely appeared in the base; it was more like a totem effect. Even if it were lost, the impact would be far smaller than losing Li Weilan.

So, he didn’t stop her just now.

Fu Yanzhou didn’t understand why Li Weilan’s eyes were now red, but he vaguely felt that his emotions weren’t quite right. “She disappeared in a flash.”

Li Weilan pounded the ground with his fist.

He wiped his face, finding nothing on his hands, yet his heartbeat raced like a drum. “I’ll go myself. We’ll have a big fight on our side to cover her.”

Li Weilan put on his armor and went straight to the front line.

He currently has two main killer moves: one is spatial tearing, and the other is spatial collapse. The former was the first damaging skill he mastered after stabilizing his own abilities, with a relatively small area of effect.

However, if someone were grazed by the spatial tearing, their entire arm or even their entire head would disappear directly into an unknown space.

Spatial collapse, on the other hand, is a skill he recently comprehended. Compared to the former, this skill has a larger impact area. It’s somewhat like squeezing out a compressed space black hole, forcefully absorbing everything around it with suction.

All objects surrounding this space black hole, except for himself, are indiscriminately absorbed targets of the black hole.

Because of the unique nature of this skill, wherever Li Weilan goes, the surrounding zombies are directly cleared out.

The base commander personally joining the battle is a tremendous morale boost for the entire team. The harrowing cries of children still echo in the ears of many, but with Li Weilan’s declaration of “There are no children on the battlefield, they’re all fake,” his words spread like waves, echoed repeatedly.

They all believed what Li Weilan said.

Ahead of Li Weilan, a group of pale-faced men and women, armed with weapons, were pushed forward by zombies from behind.

His gaze turned cold.

Since they had weapons in hand and weren’t lacking the strength to swing them at humans, why didn’t they dare to fight the zombies behind them in a fight to the death?

Li Weilan loudly issued the command. He wasn’t afraid to bear the burden of lives. If the decision was between surviving base members on one side and cowards who wouldn’t even dare to protect themselves on the other, he was more than ready to make it, even if it was too much for Shen Cheng.

“Anyone who dares to raise a blade against your comrades, kill them,” he said, looking at the row of people in the opposing team when he uttered this deadly command. They had been trying their luck before, but Noah had already warned them not to cling to hope and to leave the area, but they didn’t listen.

The zombies forced them to dig holes, and they did. Now they were being forced to kill, shaking the morale of the opposing side.

Since this person had already said “kill,” those on the opposite side knew they couldn’t cling to the hope that the base would spare them.

There was only one way forward, and it was a dead end.

One of the men’s eyes shifted. Clearly charging forward, he suddenly pretended to slip and fell to the ground, then quickly turned around and swung his blade at the zombie behind him.

Indeed, this batch of zombies was nothing more than lifeless creatures without any command. Li Weilan immediately noticed someone daring to lead a rebellion among the group of people. He quickly moved to their side and protected them.

With the first act of resistance, the remaining survivors saw that someone had actually managed to survive, and with an example to follow, they finally mustered the courage.

Although some of them were immediately killed by the zombies, it stirred up the fighting spirit of everyone present because they all knew that if they lost, if Noah lost, their fate would be worse than those people.

Soon, the zombie commander in the rear saw the situation here. Its inorganic eyes moved slightly, and it quickly summoned nearby zombies, all converging around it.

The energy consumption of spatial collapse was significant. Li Weilan struggled to support it, but he and those nearby felt that more and more zombies were surging towards him, and the pressure was increasing.

At this moment, a faint smile of satisfaction finally appeared on Li Weilan’s face; every zombie attracted here meant a little less pressure on her.

Now, he could only use himself as bait, hoping to exchange for a little more safety for her.

He had never believed in gods before, but no matter which deity had bestowed her upon his life, he only hoped that their gaze could bring her a little more peace.

After choosing her task, Shen Cheng was immediately teleported outside the base to the wasteland.

She knew her target well.

The flesh on Shen Cheng’s body might be even more attractive to zombies than normal people.

But before charging out, Shen Cheng had already decided what she wanted to do. There was a mutated rat king boss nearby, and that was her target to capture and use as cover.

Li Weilan had previously cleared out a group of mutated rats, but there was still another group about a kilometer away. Shen Cheng went over and gave the rat king a good beating before using her animal communication skill.

Rats breed quickly by nature, and this boss, with a slightly higher level in the game, didn’t really consider those less intelligent subordinates as its own kind. Shen Cheng had seen this in the ancestor chicken in the base before.

This rat king was a female rat. Initially, it thought it had offended Shen Cheng and just wanted to run away after getting beaten up. Who would have thought that Shen Cheng was actually bargaining with it, asking the rat group to help her pave the way.

In fact, the rat king was also eyeing its flesh in the fight against the zombies. It was clear in its mind that while humans weren’t interested in eating rats, the zombies were. If the zombies won this time, it might become their next target.

The flesh of ability users and mutated beasts was a great supplement for zombies. Humans didn’t like eating rat meat, but zombies were the opposite.

But of course, Shen Cheng couldn’t tell it that.

Its small eyes flickered, “What benefit do I get?”

“2000 kilograms of rice,” Shen Cheng made a direct offer.

That was the harvest in Li Weilan’s space for a few days. She could produce it right now.

The rat king agreed instantly. After receiving the abundant grains from her, the mutated rat king immediately allocated a large number of rats to follow Shen Cheng.

Shen Cheng led the rat group towards the direction she had just seen. From her phone screen, the mutated rat group looked like a rolling black torrent, crashing head-on into the zombie horde.

Although small, the rats were extremely agile and united. They squeaked loudly, forming teams. One would jump onto a zombie’s head to pick its eyes, another would dig into the skull, while others were responsible for attracting the zombies’ attention, bouncing around them like fleas. When one rat finished sucking the brain of a fallen zombie dry, they would immediately regroup and charge at the next one, clearly experienced.

Shen Cheng couldn’t help but curiously ask the rat king, “Have your little ones eaten zombies before?”

“Of course,” the rat king replied, tapping its claws. “We’re a big family, even when humans don’t have much to eat, even if we go to steal, we won’t get much. But we still have to survive.”

The mutated zombies’ brains contain nuclei, which are the real delicacy.

The rat king didn’t say the last sentence.

Although squinting its small eyes, the rat king could see that while many teams were crushed under the attacks of the zombies, among the lucky ones who ate the nuclei, some would evolve new abilities. Those individuals would become the new hope for their clan in the future.

Survival of the fittest; this was the best testing ground.

Shen Cheng clearly saw the stitched-up monster zombie look in their direction. It was probably angry that its minions had been reduced significantly. Shortly after, it let out a “silent” roar, and the rats trembled as the zombies seized the opportunity to counterattack.

The rat king jumped anxiously on her; “Alright, it’s your turn now.”

The rats had already cleared a path for her.

With a twist of her giant bear buttocks and a few paw scratches on the ground, Shen Cheng silently transformed into a shadow of a leopard, blending into the surrounding darkness.

Shen Cheng clicked on the skill to transform into a leopard, becoming the most silent and agile assassin in the jungle, stealthily approaching the stitched-up monster.

The footsteps of the jungle assassin were light and silent. The stitched-up monster was busy commanding with its three heads. At the moment, one head was overseeing the frontline attack on the base, another was managing the rat swarm’s tidal-like assault, leaving only the least alert head. It twitched its nostrils and ears faintly, unable to confirm whether it had heard footsteps.

The head wanted to turn around and look, but the other two heads were occupied, leaving this one responsible for strategy but not for combat. It blinked alertly, but couldn’t turn around.

Its ears twitched again, as if the sound it had heard earlier had disappeared.

Had it misheard? Perhaps it was just the sound of mindless zombie minions passing by.

The two larger heads of the stitched-up monster were emitting high-frequency waves to control all the zombies, which actually disturbed the idle head. After listening for a moment and confirming there was no sound, it sighed in relief. Suddenly, it saw a bright attack descending from above, like starlight.

Shen Cheng’s claws struck, and in an instant, the health bar of that head was depleted.

Just as Shen Cheng had seen before, the health bar of this head was very thin.

The moment she hit, the head immediately burst open like a watermelon. The other two heads of the stitched-up monster heard a “bang” and paused as if someone had pressed the pause button.

After a brief pause, the stitched-up monster let out a loud roar and angrily lunged towards Shen Cheng.

The leopard agilely landed on the ground, swiftly twisting its body and relying on its accumulated hatred to swiftly dart away. The stitched-up monster stumbled around like a drunken mess, its sonic waves in disarray.

It had lost the child’s head, and it was as if it had lost its balance entirely. That head wasn’t just its strategist; it seemed to be the center of its three brains. While it wasn’t important when it was present, its absence disrupted the balance entirely.

When the other two heads fought, that head would mediate. But now, with one head chasing from the left and the other from the right, the monster stumbled and fell due to the loss of balance.

Shen Cheng pounced and struck with her claws. The leopard, utilizing its agility, ruthlessly pounded at the seams of the giant stitched-up monster’s body, tearing through rotting flesh and causing green pus to ooze out.

Suddenly, the stitched-up monster opened its mouth, emitting a roar accompanied by a foul stench and sonic waves. Even Shen Cheng felt the “dizzy” debuff on her head, likely stunned for a few seconds by the stench.

She inwardly cursed, realizing the danger. But the stitched-up monster had already grabbed the leopard, slamming it forcefully onto the ground. Shen Cheng desperately mashed the left button to make the leopard dodge the monster’s stomping foot, but the leopard seemed still paralyzed, failing to evade the attack.

Not good.

The monster’s skill’s red circle enveloped her body, and Shen Cheng instantly wanted to take her hands off the screen. She closed her eyes, unable to bear seeing her character explode into a fireworks display on the screen.

“Wuwuwu, my dodging skills are so bad. I’m just not cut out for playing games like Super Mario dodging fire rings.”

Just as she closed her eyes, she heard a gunshot.

Shen Cheng opened her eyes just in time to see a stunning shot pierce through the center of the stitched-up monster’s two heads.

At the edge of the phone screen, Li Weilan put away the giant firearm he had been carrying, expressionless as he walked over. He grabbed the leopard, now collapsed into a black blanket on the ground, burying his face deeply into her black fur.

The fur around the belly instantly dampened.

“Ummm, his snuggling position seems a bit subtle.”

“Wait a minute, that’s… What position is this? You’re taking advantage of me.”

The surrounding zombies receded like a receding tide. With the loss of the stitched-up monster’s command, the once orderly zombie army almost instantly turned into scattered sand.

Li Weilan reached out and brought her and himself into the space. Shen Cheng heard his deep, hoarse voice saying, “Shouldn’t we settle the score?”

“What score?”

I don’t know, mum doesn’t know.

If you keep this up, mum will perform an immediate log off, you know.
