NABC Chapter 13 New Bizarre Creatures
Chapter 13 New Bizarre Creatures
"What are you standing there for? Keep moving!"
The ruthless voice interrupted Zeng Wanqing's daze, pulling her back to reality.
Looking at the steel ingots on the shelf that had only suffered a small loss, Zeng Wanqing's shock was quickly replaced by speechlessness.
[Time remaining until the arrival of the eerie black mist: 18:21:8]
[Distance from the eerie black fog: Approximately 550 kilometers]
There's still plenty of time, no rush.
Yang Che connected the car's mini-fridge, put in drinks like Coke and Sprite, then crossed his legs and watched Zeng Wanqing work.
...
Outside the steel mill.
A bus is heading this way.
"Brother Guo, let me tell you, there are so many steel ingots in that place that it's impossible to move them."
Inside the bus, a man spoke loudly.
A middle-aged man next to him glanced at him and sneered, "Then why don't you take it?"
"Hey! I only have one beat-up motorcycle, how can I take it? I can't move it!"
Chen Gou clapped his hands, his face full of helplessness.
"I was planning to find another opportunity to retrieve it later, but now that I've pledged allegiance to Brother Guo, this is my pledge of loyalty."
He pounded his chest, the sound deafening.
"Very good. After we move the supplies, we'll give you credit for the great work and reward you with a box of cigarettes and a bottle of Erguotou."
Guo Cheng, in the driver's seat, spoke, clearly satisfied with the news.
"There might be zombies. Bring your weapons and equipment and prepare for battle."
"good!"
The people inside the car spoke up loudly.
There are ten players on this bus, and each of them is carrying a weapon.
A small group of them had banded together from the start of the game, concentrating all their fuel on one vehicle.
Once they had distanced themselves from the black mist, they began to rely on coordinated efforts to surround and kill the zombies and acquire resources.
As their numbers increased and their equipment improved, their experience in hunting zombies grew richer.
"We're almost there, it's that factory up ahead!"
Chen Gou pointed to the steel plant in front of him and shouted loudly.
"Hold on tight, everyone, check your weapons."
Guo Cheng roared, then floored the accelerator and sped toward the steel plant.
Now that all-purpose fuel is readily available, they dare to floor the gas pedal and sprint like madmen.
However, just as they were about to arrive at the steel mill...
Rumble!!
The deep roar of engines echoed through the steel mill, like muffled thunder, deafeningly loud.
"What happened?"
What was that sound?
Are there players inside?
The people inside the car looked at each other in bewilderment; this roaring sound was definitely not normal.
Moreover, some people felt that something was wrong with the ground.
It's shaking.
Guo Cheng quickly stepped on the brakes, bringing the bus to an emergency stop and allowing it to dodge behind an obstacle.
Taking rash action before the situation is clear is simply playing with one's life.
He picked up his binoculars and looked towards the doorway.
next second...
pat!
The telescope fell to the ground.
boom!
The wall was smashed to pieces, and a huge steel behemoth burst out from inside, unstoppable.
"Holy crap!!"
Guo Cheng's legs went weak instantly.
What the hell is this thing?
Is it a Lv.5 or Lv.6 vehicle, or perhaps an NPC in the game that specifically hunts players?
This is practically an armored vehicle!
Moreover, it's an armored vehicle equipped with a chain gun!
Compared to this vehicle, their buses looked as ridiculous as children's toys.
When Guo Cheng picked up the binoculars again, he happened to see the enemy's huge gun turret start to rotate.
There wasn't a single unnecessary movement.
The dark muzzle of the gun, hundreds of meters away, precisely locked onto his bus.
[Target locked: Bus Lv.2]
[Distance: 833 meters]
Accuracy: 100%
[Vehicle Capacity: 10]
Yang Che looked at the holographic screen in front of him, thought for a moment, and still decided not to take action.
Although the players are competitors, Yang Che doesn't want to kill them indiscriminately as long as they don't provoke him.
Even in the apocalypse, some principles must be upheld, otherwise one will only become a monster.
When the heavy truck's turret was moved, Guo Cheng and the others breathed a sigh of relief and, without hesitation, quickly turned the truck around.
Leave here.
They've already given us a way out; we can't be ungrateful.
Zeng Wanqing sat in the passenger seat and turned on the [Regional Channel].
"Help! My motorcycle is scratched to pieces and won't move!"
"Have you ever seen a monster with two hands like scythes that can pierce through rocks?"
"Yes, yes, yes! I saw it with my own eyes! That monster blew up the car in front of me! Luckily, I ran fast!!"
"I was scratched by a monster, and my whole body is burning hot. I feel like I'm going to start mutating."
"Upstairs, that's not called mutation, that's called death."
"Holy crap, why didn't you say so earlier!"
Yang Che glanced at the holographic screen and shook his head.
The apocalypse is so cruel!
Not having enough to eat or wear, getting injured, getting sick, and facing numerous dangers—that's normal.
It would be abnormal for someone like him to be eating hot mutton hotpot from day one and sleeping in a warm driver's cab.
Of course, what troubled him most was how to spend the ever-increasing amount of supplies.
But what are these monsters that players are talking about?
The strongest monster he has ever seen is a second-tier zombie.
Speed bumps!
Even the strongest second-tier zombie can only dent sheet metal at most; it's impossible for it to penetrate stone or armor.
If those monsters are really as strong as they say...
There must be a lot of resources leaked, right?
Yang Che lacked confidence.
After all, the loot dropped by level one zombies is just too "good," so good it's outrageous.
Zeng Wanqing glanced at Yang Che's handsome profile, her cheeks flushing slightly.
I'm tired.
Although he was a slave owner who ruthlessly exploited his family, at least he was safe in this car.
If this man were to openly declare that he would take women into his car, countless women would throw themselves at him, just to be able to stay there.
The heavy truck continued its journey across the wasteland.
Zeng Wanqing held a telescope and looked at the situation ahead with boredom.
Suddenly, she exclaimed in alarm, "There's something going on three kilometers ahead!"
Yang Che raised his binoculars and looked ahead.
On the horizon, a helicopter crashed by the roadside, billowing black smoke and burning with flames.
The helicopter had a very noticeable crack that split the entire aircraft in two, which was the root cause of its crash.
A slender, jet-black, slimy creature stood beside the plane, coldly watching the players inside.
It moved, its arm instantly transforming into a long thorn that pierced the player's chest, shredding the already dead player's heart.
[WARNING! Encounter with a strange creature!]
【Name: Slime!】
[Rank: Lv.3]
[Ding! Monsters of Tier 3 and above are beyond the newbie protection zone. No monster information will be provided; please identify them yourself!]
"???"
What is the scope of protection for new players?
So, the tens of millions of people who died in the previous three days weren't included in the protection scope, right?
