Chapter 1208: The Destruction of Sky Fire Base

This time, Yan Huiguang didn’t respond to Shui Mingjun. Instead, he snorted coldly as he turned his eyes outside the window, then fell into silence.

Leng Xuantong and Lin Hao glanced at each other. They had no idea where that weird atmosphere between the two men came from. They seemed to be enemies, but they had no intention of killing toward each other.

Chief made the two of them work in the same lab, meaning that they had to work under each other’s mean attitude every single day. How depressing would that be! It was like a war could be started in their lab at any moment. Would they blow the lab up in a few days?

Shui Mingjun turned around, then shrugged and said to Lin Hao, “He didn’t need to ask him that question. He hadn’t been studying those creatures in this couple of days at all.”

Lin Hao didn’t know what to say. Was it really safe for his big sister to make that man work in the medical department? Wouldn’t he turn humans into zombies?

At last, the meeting became a conversation between Lin Hao, Leng Xuantong, and Shui Mingjun, while Yan Huiguang wore a cold and grim face the whole time without joining the conversation.

“These roots were found in an underground cave near our base, which belonged to one type of underground creatures that showed up earlier. Our Chief brought them back here. When you crush this fruit-like lump, a kind of gas will be released, which can kill those underground creatures. We thought it’d be harmful for the other underground creatures that Chief brought back this time too, but it turned out that we were wrong,” Leng Xuantong showed Shui Mingjun the roots.

Shui Mingjun wasn’t a researcher, but he was a man with keen eyes. With enough background information, he might be able to find out something.

…

In Earth Dragon Base, which was almost empty, the last batch of residents were staying there, living a hard life. They didn’t want to go anywhere else.

After Lin Qiao broke Hidden Cloud City Base, which was located in the southeast, Hidden Cloud City Base people gave up on Earth Dragon Base to protect themselves. Great numbers of survivors moved to Sky Fire Base, Huaxia Base, Sea City Base, All Beings Base, and the other bases. At the end, less than a hundred people stayed in Earth Dragon Base. At this moment, only some body parts of them were left in the base, along with the large blood stains on the ground and the walls.

A series of chewing sounds were heard from all over the base.

An SUV sized monster slowly moved through a pile of bloody party parts and dropped its head to look for human arms or feet. As it located a target, it stuck out its tongue and rolled the body part into its mouth, which was filled with sharp teeth, then moved its jaw to chew it.

That enormous creature had a black head and looked thirty percent like a pangolin. Not only one, but a herd of them had scattered in the base, searching for something.

Earth Dragon Base was not the only place where the traces of living human beings were about to be erased completely. Sky Fire Base was also under the attack of a giant herd of beetles.

Every single one of those beetles was gigantic, looking like a huge helmet. They had strong shells, and their heads weren’t visible. There was a breach on their shell, and from that breach, a series of tentacles reached out while shaking. Underneath their shell were countless iron-hard feet.

They were very slow, but there was a huge number of them. They were so strong that each of them was able to flatten a building. The super strong fence wall which was built after the apocalypse already had a few giant holes in it.

Except for the hundreds of helmet-like beetles which had been crushing the base like bulldozers, some smaller creatures which had long legs had been hopping around on the backs of those beetles.

“Geee… Geee…” Those flea-like creatures gave out a weird sound, which was shrill and could blur people’s minds.

Bang! Bang! Boom! Explosions and gunshots could be heard from all over the base.

“Ah… Help me!” A man was held by a human-sized flea in the mouth, screaming in despair.

Bang! Bang! Bang! His friends immediately shot that flea. However, before the bullet touched it, it leaped high and disappeared.

“Ahhhhh!” Only that man’s shrill scream was left being heard.

“Captain! We’ve almost run out of ammo! What should we do?” Someone shouted out loud in a panic.

“Hang in there! We can’t leave until they have found us a way out! Running aimlessly would get us killed!” A relatively calm voice was heard.

“Captain, what are they? Why can’t our superpowers hurt them at all?” Someone cried with despair.

“I don’t know! You should feel lucky that these bugs are still afraid of bullets and bombs! Save your ammo! Try your best to hide!” The captain yelled.

God knew how those bugs came to the base. They were tens of miles away from the base yesterday, but in a couple of hours, they were at the base already. Those beasts moved not even as fast as a human walking. How could they possibly cover tens of miles within a couple of hours?

Those fleas were super fast though. They could hop from one place to the other within a blink of an eye, and cover tens of meters, even a hundred meters with one single leap. However, they hardly left the backs of those beetles. Even if they leaped off, they would soon hop back on.

If they left the beetles’ backs, they would certainly be attacking humans. Their way of attacking was simple. They jumped on people, bit them, held them in their mouth, and then leaped away.

The beetles that crawled into the base first already had their backs covered in blood. Those fleas gathered on their backs, ate the people they caught, then leaped out to hunt more. Not long after they left, the second batch returned onto the beetles’ backs.

“They found it! They found a way out! Come with me!” Someone gave a roar, arousing the hope of people. They all gathered toward that person, then moved together in one direction while fighting.

“Where are we going now?” A survivor who managed to run out of the base asked his friend.

“Huaxia Base, of course! Huaxia Base is near us, and has a strong defense system,” said the Captain.

“But… their entrance requirement is too high. Most of us might not get in,” some people had doubts.

“I’ll deal with that. You guys don’t need to worry about it. I’ll make you guys a way in when we get there,” the Captain said. He only wanted those people to go with him and be his human shields on his way to Huaxia Base. They might not even make it to Huaxia Base alive anyway.

So, the group of people followed their leader toward Huaxia Base confusedly and blindly.
