After saving the old man Guo Cheng, the group returned to the base city. Along the way, they suddenly stopped and suddenly moved forward. Under Ye Chen's seemingly unintentional guidance, they avoided many powerful monsters.
Buzz …
Suddenly, the sound of wings flapping came from the front. Everyone who was walking in the ruins was shocked. They quickly stopped and hid in a building, lurking.
Then, everyone saw that the sky above them had darkened. Countless buzzing sounds could be heard as they flew into the distance.
Ye Chen looked up and saw a large group of evolved mosquito monsters flying past. There were tens of thousands of them, and each of them was five inches long. Their sharp mouths were harder than steel. As they flew past, the zombie dogs, zombie rats, and other zombies that rushed out from the dark corners were all pierced by their sharp mouths.
Behind the group of mosquito monsters, there was a dark cloud moving away. Looking closely, it was actually a large group of strange monsters. Their heads were huge, like watermelons. Their mouths were not horizontal, but vertical. Their teeth were ferocious, and their claws were as sharp as knives.
"Zombie flies!"
Ye Chen's eyes narrowed. This large group of over 100,000 monsters turned out to be zombie flies. Looking at their ferocious appearance, it was obvious that they were chasing after the group of mosquito monsters!
"Buzz …"
The zombie flies swarmed forward and caught up with the mosquito monsters. The two sides were entangled and began to fight.
Ye Chen and the others who were hiding in the building below held their breaths. They were afraid of alerting these monsters. Otherwise, they would definitely die. Although a mosquito monster only had a Level One Constitution, the impact of tens of thousands of them was definitely more powerful than a rocket launcher. Even the city walls would be blasted and pierced!
Zombie flies, on the other hand, only had the Constitution of five people. These two types of monsters were as weak as ants in the previous peaceful era. Some were even stronger than ants, so they were harder to kill.
However, after the apocalypse, ants evolved a little and their strength increased by 400 times. In terms of strength, they were far stronger than flies and mosquitoes. In terms of defense, however, they were still very weak. They only had the strength of three people. However, they had a layer of carapace on the outside. With the evolution, it had strengthened many times and increased its defense. Therefore, it was very difficult to kill.
Simply put, an ant only had the vision and hearing of three people. However, in terms of strength, it had increased by 400 times, reaching the strength of 120 people!
To a certain extent, strength also affected movement speed. Therefore, an ant's movement speed could be compared to a Level 6 to Level 8 monster.
Who would have thought that a Level 12 ant only had the vision and hearing of three people's strength?
Although the evolved ant looked like it was just a few times larger on the surface without any other special changes, the internal structure of its body had quietly changed. Its nerve reaction speed had increased by many times. Although its body only had the strength of three people, its nerve reaction speed was not inferior to a Level-8 monster, so it could avoid some bullets.
This was originally the most humble and weak animal in the world, but now it was far more powerful than dogs, rats, and other animals.
Its vision and hearing were its Achilles' heel!
However, in most cases, the ant's hearing and vision were dispensable. As long as it could see the enemy within its attack range, it was enough.
Therefore, ants became one of the strongest monster groups in the later stages of the apocalypse.
If someone thought that an ant with the strength of three people would be crushed if it lifted an object with the strength of 120 people, then it would be a big mistake.
During evolution, the body had to match the special structure of the body. The arrangement of muscles and bones had to be paid attention to. Just like humans, who only had two legs, it was easy to fall. However, the soles of the feet were wide and long. This prevented falling, and the body's sense of balance would also be strengthened.
If the ants only increased their strength, but their bodies were still so weak, then this was not evolution, but degeneration, and it was a fatal degeneration. In that case, before the ants in the world could be killed, they would have been crushed to death by the things that were raised.
Therefore, the ant's muscles and bones would be strengthened as it evolved. There would not be a situation where its bones were crushed.
The only weakness was its eyesight and hearing.
The zombified flies in the sky only had the strength of five people. Their hearing, vision, and physical defense were different from ants. Their advantage was their reaction speed.
Flies' reaction speed was many times that of humans. Their eyes' reaction speed was 60 times that of humans. Fluorescent lights flashed 60 times per second. Humans could not detect them at all, but flies could see them clearly. Moreover, flies' hearing was more sensitive to the source of sound. When the fly swatter was swung, it would often cause a slight wind sound. When the fly detected it, it would immediately fly away.
Under the virus' modification, the fly's body structure had changed a lot. Some of its abilities had been optimized, while others had been degraded directly. Just like ants, today's ant monsters, regardless of whether they were evolved or zombified dark ants, did not have wings. It was as if God had deprived them of the ability to fly.
For example, termites originally had a pair of wings on their backs. However, as they evolved, the pair of wings gradually degraded and turned into two hard shields. The defense was extremely strong.
Many of the fly's body structure had also changed. Although its strength and speed were only five people's, its reaction speed, vision, and hearing were extremely powerful. It had been increased by 100 times, reaching the reaction speed of a level-50 human!
Ye Chen could not help but think to himself. If the genes of flies and ants were combined, how powerful would they be? The two would make up for each other's shortcomings.
"Puchi!"
In the sky, corpses fell like raindrops. Blood splattered everywhere.
The mosquito monster and the dark flies were fighting each other, creating a chaotic situation. There was no distinction between the two sides. In this narrow space, and in a group battle, the fly's reaction speed advantage could not be used. Its body was pierced and sucked dry.
In this world, only the mosquito monster could absorb any blood without hesitation!
After the evolution, the mosquito monster's body structure had been strengthened and changed. Even if the dark flies' blood contained a large amount of virus, it could absorb, digest, and then expel it.
Other creatures would not dare to be so rampant unless their bodies were many times stronger than the opponent's. Only then would they not be afraid of being infected by the virus in the opponent's blood.
"Squeak squeak …"
The two types of monsters tangled together, killing each other crazily. Corpses kept falling. Not long after, as the number of corpses decreased, the area in the sky increased. At first, the flies were at a disadvantage. They could dodge everywhere, but in the end, they counterattacked, showing signs of turning defeat into victory.
About ten minutes later …
"Puchi!"
The last mosquito monster's stomach was torn open by a few flies. Blood spurted out and it fell miserably. Tens of thousands of mosquito monsters were slaughtered just like that!
Of the hundred thousand Dark Flies, only about ten thousand were left. They had paid a heavy price, but these Dark Flies did not care about that. They were almost instinctively excited. They pounced down and began to eat the corpses of the mosquito monsters.
The people hiding under the building almost suffocated. They all held their breaths, not daring to move.
Four to five hours later …
This group of dark flies had their fill and were about to rest when suddenly, a strange sound came from afar. These dark flies all turned their heads to look and suddenly flew up, dragging the rest of the mosquito monster's corpse and flying into the distance of the street.
Seeing this scene, Ye Chen frowned slightly. For dark flies, they could live anywhere. Why would they take the trouble to move the corpses into the distance?
Could it be … there was a dark fly king in the distance, calling for them?
"They're finally gone." The rest of the people stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go. It's getting dark."
Mu Bai Feng urged and took the lead to walk out of the building. The rest of the people rubbed their legs that were a little numb from squatting and followed.
Ye Chen looked at the messy corpses on the ground outside. His eyes had a trace of coldness. Similar things happened in every corner of the world. Humans were not the target of all monsters. These monsters would also attack each other.
Especially in the early days, when countless monsters died in the sea. It was simply a sea of corpses, floating like a mountain.
Next, everyone carefully went back to the base city. Along the way, they encountered some small dangers. They often encountered a single zombie, but they were all killed and robbed. Finally, they successfully returned to the base city.
When Ye Chen and the rest of the people entered the gate, the inspection soldiers only glanced at their clothes and did not stop them. They directly let them go.
"F * ck, we need to enter the city with genetically modified meat. What kind of bullsh * t rules are these?"
Suddenly, a burly man at the inspection soldiers' station angrily looked at the soldier. Obviously, he did not have genetically modified meat with him. He seemed to be a little flustered and exasperated.
The soldier coldly said, "If you don't have genetically modified meat, you can join the army. According to your aptitude and potential, you will be assigned to a suitable department. The worst case scenario is that you can enter the production department and help with the crops!"
The burly man angrily said, "Bullsh * t!
Is this still a base city?
What kind of time is this? We came here and you don't give us food to eat. You want us to do manual labor?
What kind of rubbish base city is this? I used to love this country for nothing! "
"Another idiot." Mu Bai Feng glanced at him and sneered.
"Although there are a lot of rules in the base city, and there are a lot of people here, but in this kind of situation, to give you something to rely on is already very good." Another man sneered, "Does this person think that the food in the base city is free?
If such a big base city needs to operate, if it feeds a bunch of useless people, it will collapse in a few days! "
"This person still talks about patriotism. What era is this? What an idiot!"
"Let yourself adapt to the world, not let the whole world obey you. This person doesn't even understand such a simple principle. Does he still think that this is the peaceful era of the past?
Pay attention to morals and ethics?
Now, as long as you can get power and survive, that is the most important thing. "
"Last time I saw a general on the street, who dared to say anything about him?
His power was there for all to see. Although that general was just a chef in a hotel, but now, he is a big shot who controls five thousand people! "
A group of people whispered and looked at the burly man mockingly.
Ye Chen casually looked and saw the soldier pull out a pistol and coldly said, "If you continue to be unreasonable, don't blame us for punishing you according to our military law!"
The burly man's face twitched and changed color slightly. In the end, under the persuasion of a few people who seemed to be familiar with him, he found an opportunity to step down. After a few whines, he finally chose to join the army.
