Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Seven: A4’s Delicacy p2
As long as they hadn’t reached C-rank, the attacks of most Awakened were not as powerful as rifles, so rifles were a very important combat resource for the camp. Ability plus gun fighting was basically the standard configuration of every low-level Awakened.
But when these bullets hit the bone plates of that zombie, there were sparks of metal friction, and they couldn’t penetrate the armor at all.
And the bullets that hit the head and gonads of the shrimp zombie, although they exploded blood flowers, seemed to have no effect on the shrimp zombie.
Although the attack had no effect, their attack had obviously angered the shrimp zombie.
The shrimp zombie did not roar or howl, and even its legs were holding those eggs flowing with poisonous blood… It used its two large pincers to support its body and quickly swung towards Wan Zi.
When a huge zombie with no weaknesses found was rushing towards you, it was impossible to say that you were not afraid.
But Wan Zi couldn’t retreat. If she retreated, no one behind her could withstand the zombie in front of her.
If she retreated further, behind her were the old, weak, women, and children of the camp.
“Get behind me!!!”
Wan Zi, who rarely spoke loudly, was a little out of tune. She raised her hands and inserted them into the ground. The sand and soil infused with adhesive rushed up from the ground, forming a sand and soil cage to isolate the shrimp zombie inside.
“Boom—”
The shrimp zombie hit the pillar and made a huge shaking sound, but fortunately, Wan Zi’s pillar blocked the zombie.
Huff… fortunately it was blocked…
“Open—!”
Just when Wan Zi was about to take advantage of the victory and let others shoot, suddenly, the shrimp zombie in the sand and soil cage opened its curled abdomen covered with giant eggs.
After the abdomen was opened, Wan Zi saw that in the middle of the dense round eggs on the shrimp zombie’s abdomen, there was a round giant mouth.
And in the center of the giant mouth, there was a slightly glowing round insect egg.
“Wanzi! Be careful!”
“Pfft—”
With a disgusting squirting sound, the shrimp zombie, supporting its body with its giant claws, bit the insect egg in its mouth with its round mouth on its abdomen.
The viscous insect blood and venom sprayed towards Wan Zi at a speed that Wan Zi did not expect.
But a D-rank Awakened with muscle evolution next to her reacted faster than Wan Zi.
He rushed directly in front of Wan Zi, opened his arms, and took this venom spray for Wan Zi. His entire front was corroded by the venom and made sizzling sounds.
But even though he blocked it like this, a few drops of venom still passed him and dripped onto Wan Zi’s arm, melting through her clothes, corroding her flesh and blood, and leaving a deep wound visible to the bone.
Excruciating pain.
Not only in her hand, but also in front of her, her subordinate was gradually dissolving before her eyes.
Wan Zi felt that her brain was burning, but the anger was quickly extinguished by the heavy rain and the shrimp zombie in front of her that put another egg into its mouth again.
She had to stay calm… No matter how angry she was, she had to stay rational at this time… She was carrying not only her own life…
She absolutely couldn’t let this zombie run to the camp below along the water… Fortunately, it was discovered early, and there was still a chance to lure it away…
“Pfft—”
Pink gel shot out from Wan Zi’s hand and wrapped the fallen subordinate’s whole body. Although she didn’t know if this could save his life, at least it could prevent his flesh from being corroded by the venom.
“Damn it!”
Picking up the uncorroded rifle on the ground, Wan Zi rushed towards the cage of sand pillars.
“Dada-dada—”
Even when running and shooting, her marksmanship accurately hit the insect egg in the center of the zombie’s abdominal mouth. After the insect egg was blown up, the zombie had to reload its poisonous eggs.
Throwing away the rifle that had run out of bullets, Wan Zi had already rushed to the sand pillar, and her hands slammed into the sand pillar.
“Ch—”
A huge amount of gel connected all these sand pillars together, looking like the cage was filled with dripping glue.
The zombie struggled frantically in the gel, and these gels couldn’t stop it for long.
“Drink ah—!”
After imprisoning the shrimp zombie, Wan Zi’s bloody hands slammed into the mud in front of the cage. A huge mud pillar stabbed out diagonally, lifting the huge gel cage into the air.
Try to use this method to push this B zombie to a place far away from the camp before her blood crystals were exhausted…
No matter what…
“Boom—”
“Whoosh—”
Suddenly, just when Wan Zi was thinking about how to kill this tricky thing, a rumbling sound suddenly sounded from behind in the distance.
No… this sound seemed to have sounded before, but it was too far away, and coupled with the heavy rain, people thought it was thunder.
Wasn’t it thunder?!
Before Wan Zi could turn around to look, a blood-red stream of light, like a meteor, fell directly from the sky and slammed into the sand and soil cage that Wan Zi had just lifted.
“Rumble—”
The sand and soil cage, which had not flown far, was directly pressed to the ground by the red stream of light, making a huge vibration sound. Mud and stones even splashed onto Wan Zi’s face.
“Rumble—”
A bolt of lightning struck in the distance, making a loud explosion. And the flash brought by this thunder also allowed Wan Zi to see more directly what the red stream of light in front of her was.
This was…
In the white light of the lightning, Wan Zi saw a figure with long golden hair, holding the terrifying head of the shrimp zombie with one hand in the rain.
It was a… woman?
And she was a beautiful woman with a slender body and a very beautiful and well-proportioned figure.
But what the “beauty” was doing at this time was enough to make people dumbfounded.
Her left foot stepped on the ground, her right foot stepped on the tail fin of the shrimp zombie, her right hand was raised high, her right hand was covered with a blood-red, black giant claw that was unknown whether it was flesh or something, and she was firmly grasping the shrimp’s head.
And the position where she was standing was exactly the blind spot of the two huge shrimp pincers—in the “arms” of the shrimp zombie.
Maybe the shrimp zombie itself didn’t expect that someone would directly send themselves to its mouth.
The shrimp zombie, which didn’t have much intelligence, its abdominal mouthparts wriggled directly, and with a “pop” sound, it bit the poisonous egg in its mouth.
“Be careful!”
“Pfft—”
Wan Zi was still too late to shout.
The venom sprayed on the woman’s body, emitting bursts of white smoke… but it didn’t even burn through her body!
What the hell was this person?!
Soon, the golden-haired “woman” proved to Wan Zi with her actions again that she was really not a human.
Seemingly curious about the structure of the poisonous egg, the woman’s free left hand stretched out directly and forcibly pulled out a fist-sized insect egg from the shrimp zombie’s abdomen.
Then, under everyone’s gaze, she directly… put the insect egg… into her mouth.
Without even chewing, the insect egg was swallowed whole. In less than a second, the muscles of the woman’s whole body began to wriggle as if they were alive.
Under Wan Zi’s horrified gaze, the woman slowly opened her mouth to the shrimp zombie in front of her.
“Pfft—”
A black insect egg with a similar structure was ejected from the woman’s mouth and hit the shrimp zombie’s mouthparts and exploded. Then black blood splashed, and the shrimp zombie’s body was quickly corroded by the black blood.
The golden-haired woman shook her head slightly, seemingly not very satisfied with this ability.
This… this… this woman… used an ability similar to that of the shrimp zombie?
No… this was not a human… this must be a human-shaped zombie!
All the actions of the golden-haired “woman” violated everyone’s common sense. Soon, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the giant claw in the woman’s hand clenched tightly, directly crushing the entire head of the shrimp zombie!
“Pop—”
The bursting brain matter splashed everywhere, but soon seemed to be attracted, and poured into the woman’s body. If you looked closely, you could see that it was black and red mycelium that was pulling the splashed debris into the woman’s body.
Under this rapid devouring, besides a small amount of black blood, only two shining blood crystals were left on the ground.
The golden-haired “woman” lowered her right hand, which had turned into a black giant claw, and pinched the two blood crystals with the tip of her claw. Then, the blood crystals disappeared out of thin air in her hand.
“Boom—”
Without any eye contact, or even a word, the monster-like woman bent her knees slightly and directly leaped to the top of the mountain with a long jump that ordinary people could not understand.
Then, on the top of the mountain, another booming sound of jumping sounded again, and the golden-haired woman’s body turned into a stream of light, dragging a blood-thread-like “tail wing”, and gliding towards the distance.
What the hell…
What happened?
The surroundings fell into silence. Wan Zi stared blankly at the sky, countless question marks flashing in her mind.
But the mountainside that had calmed down and the continuous heavy rain finally brought Wan Zi back to her senses.
“Damn it! Don’t stand there! Carry the wounded down! Quick, quick, quick!!!”
B-rank, absolutely the legendary B-rank! It was just unclear whether it was a zombie or a human… Looking at the ability, it didn’t seem like a human, but it didn’t attack them, so it didn’t seem like a zombie…
Since the other party didn’t trouble her, that was a good thing… Instead of dwelling on this, it was better to quickly carry the wounded down for rescue.
The wounded were quickly carried down the mountain for treatment under the command, and the golden-haired figure, the blood-red stream of light, and the scarlet tail wing left a deep impression and a deep sense of powerlessness on everyone present.
It was as if in front of that terrifying blood crystal entity, they were all insects, and their lives would be destroyed in an instant…
Too terrifying… B-rank…
Unlike the people in the Qingzhou University Camp, there was the person of that blood-red stream of light.
At this time, Lin Jiayao was gliding towards the next C-rank zombie, smacking her lips in the air, as if she was reminiscing about something, completely not thinking about what happened just now.
After swallowing the insect egg just now, A4 also obtained a similar ability, but it was basically useless.
It was not needed to deal with the weak, and it could not be used to deal with the strong. It was quite useless for the B-rank A4.
What made Lin Jiayao more gratified was that A4’s sense of taste seemed to have evolved to B-rank and could block some disgusting tastes.
It was also possible that A4’s definition of delicious was different.
Just like just now, she directly swallowed the insect egg without feeling any disgust, and it was even sour and a little appetizing.
Of course, this was also related to Lin Jiayao’s strong psychological quality.
As someone who had eaten raw Lurkers and swallowed raw Biters, Hunters, and Sprinters, and even enjoyed unlimited refills in her “mind”, swallowing a poisonous egg raw really didn’t have any psychological pressure on her.
Maybe under the influence of 【Hunting Rhythm】, she did these things like instinct, without causing any psychological discomfort or nausea, and she was in a very good state.
Leaving aside the ability, in terms of the taste and texture of various zombies, Lin Jiayao should be considered an expert.
People had seen people being chased and bitten by zombies, but others had definitely not seen people chasing and biting zombies.
In the next two hours, Lin Jiayao hunted seven C-rank zombies and obtained more than fourteen blood crystals.
She arrived at the Extraction Point half an hour early with the blood crystals, and planned to quickly collect a wave of Zombie Loot Boxes after going out, quickly check if there was anything new in the Hideout, and what needed to be upgraded, and then go to sleep to replenish her energy.
It should be around nine or ten o’clock in the evening outside, and she could still rest for a long time.
But just after she extracted, put the blood crystals into the Warehouse in the settlement space, and just clicked the button to leave the settlement interface, her eyes went black and she fainted.
Before fainting, Lin Jiayao sighed slowly in her heart.
Sure enough, her mental power was still not enough…
After seeing Mask tomorrow, she would go to Goldie’s place to “harvest” and see if she could evolve Goldie.
