Doomsday Run (5): Overtime

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian privately felt that if a living corpse was counted as a level 1, the alien species would be a level 2 living corpse, and a high-level alien would be a level 3 living corpse.

There was a huge gap in strength between the three levels of living corpses, which was reflected in the fact that the indigenous elite warriors could easily clean up the level 1 living corpses.

Aboriginal elite warriors were also confident against level 2 living corpses. As long as they kept their distance and maintained their speed advantage, even if they occasionally faced two or three alien species at the same time, it would only be a matter of time.

As for encountering a level 3 living corpse, that is, the high-level alien species that just fell, even the ability user would be frightened, because the high-level alien species were stronger and faster, they were not much worse than trucks.

In case of being overtaken, a full-on collision might knock the truck over.

So as soon as they saw the high-level alien species, the trucks of the convoy moved away frantically, and the humans on the roof poured their attacks frantically, just to kill the monster before it caught up.

According to Xia Ruize’s inference, without his intervention, when the high-level alien species gradually approached, after the human power user exerted their power, it could still be solved with powerful weapons.

It’s just that the battle would be evenly matched, and the casualties on the human side would not be small, so Xia Ruize decisively took action ahead of time to solve the threat at a distance.

Anyway, in his opinion, the strength of advanced alien species was no different from that of living corpses and alien species – they were just weaklings. If they were dealt with earlier, the bumpy journey could end earlier.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian looked down upon the threat of advanced alien species, but the other indigenous elite warriors in the convoy did not. Thinking of the previous battles, they were still frightened.

Fortunately, the number of high-level alien species was really rare, until the sky darkened the team did not encounter the second one.

Before the sky was completely dark, the convoy found a lonely village by the road. The village had no traces of human activities for a long time, and everywhere was decadent and full of dust and cobwebs.

Everyone first cleaned up the living corpses left in the village, and then cleaned out two courtyards near the road for the team members to rest.

The so-called cleanup was actually finding a suitable place to set up a tent, plus a hammock in the truck bed, enough to allocate a bed for each member of the team.

The logistics soldiers began to make dinner, which was exactly the same as lunch, fragrant instant noodle soup and pancakes.

The pancakes were actually made in advance at the base and brought out, and it could be eaten hot. Before the flatbread goes bad, they could eat the fragrant and soft pancakes. There was plenty of time in the evening, and the logistics soldiers also distributed a spoonful of pickles to each team member.

As for instant noodle soup, although each person could only get a small mouthful of noodles, they could drink one pot with water and then drink another pot. The team members would not be satisfied until the soup with the flavor of seasoning turned into a clear soup with little water.

Drinking hot soup and eating pancakes, Qin Feng arranged the duty at night, dividing the team members, including him, into three groups, and each group was on duty for five hours.

After arranging the duty task, the hard work of the day could be brought to an end. With the last ray of light, Qin Feng took out the life bottle that he treasured in his chest.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian immediately became interested and stared at his movements.

They saw that in Qin Feng’s palm-sized bottle of life, green liquid accounted for a quarter of it.

Finding that the team members were all looking at him, Qin Feng simply explained: “The purification switch of the life bottle is at the bottom of the bottle.”

As he spoke, he turned the life bottle upside down and pressed the hidden mechanism at the bottom of the life bottle. The green liquid inside the transparent bottle turned upside down and dripped slowly towards the mouth of the bottle.

Qin Feng stared at the green liquid dripping down to the mouth of the bottle. He broke it with his hand, and the mouth of the life bottle was removed from the bottle, and a small cup lid containing purified life energy was separated.

“Don’t drink for three hours before and after your shift.”

After giving instructions, Qin Feng put the lid of the cup into his mouth, drank the life energy inside, and then put the lid back on the life bottle.

Everyone watched Qin Feng stand up, staggering towards the room cleared by the logistics soldiers as if he was drunk, and plunged into the tent. Soon the people sitting around the fire heard Qin Feng’s snoring, which showed that he was sleeping soundly.

“The purification speed is indeed very fast.”

The fire-type girl sighed with emotion, and took out the life bottle that she had wrapped properly, turned the bottle over, saw the green liquid dripping onto the bottle cap, took off the bottle cap, raised her head and poured it into her mouth, then shook it, wandering back to rest.

Except for Xia Ruize and the two official team fighters, who would soon be on duty at night, everyone else drank the life energy they had collected all day.

Regardless of whether they drank it in public, or took it back to their tent and drank it secretly, Xia Ruize “saw” the amount of life energy collected by everyone.

After accumulating for a day, most of the life energy in the life bottle was about one-fifth to one-fourth of the bottle.

After everyone dispersed, the three of them sat on the top of the tall truck and gave themselves extra meals.

“Using the satellites of the future base as a springboard, I have controlled two satellites of other bases. Now we can basically ensure that we can know the news in advance wherever we go.”

Gao Hexuan nibbled on a roasted chicken, and when he reported the results in the heart net, his face was bright. It took him a day to open the back door on three satellites without disturbing the original owners. The monitoring information obtained by the satellite could be viewed at any time.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were very happy. In the last mission world, they realized how refreshing it was to monitor the overall situation and know the enemy’s situation at any time. The ability of Gao Hexuan in this mission world had been greatly improved. As soon as he entered the mission world, he started to fight for the right of intelligence and gain an advantage first. Thinking about it, it was a great convenience.

After the meal, Xia Ruize took out his life bottle, and the green liquid in the bottle was two-thirds full.

The life energy collected by Cheng Huaiqian also exceeded half of the bottle, only Gao Hexuan, less than one-sixth, only a pitiful little.

“Tsk, that’s not okay.”

Cheng Huaiqian looked at the life bottle in Gao Hexuan’s hand and shook his head. In Gao Hexuan’s nervousness, he waved his hand and threw his pet away, then urged Gao Hexuan, “Go, go and work overtime with them.”

Xia Ruize looked at the confused Gao Hexuan and couldn’t help laughing. He turned his hand and released three ghost bats, Da Hei, Xiao He, and a system creature. He touched the small heads of Da Hei and Xiao He with his fingers, raised his hand to send them out, and then encouraged Gao Hexuan:

“Don’t worry, both of our pets are following. I’ll lend you a war horse. Five hours is enough for you to collect some more life energy.”

What else could Gao Hexuan say?

Riding the warhorse lent to him by the boss, he let the warhorse choose a direction at will, and embarked on an overtime trip where he took the initiative to find and kill living corpses.

Around Gao Hexuan, a skeleton cavalry riding a skeleton horse and a ghost bat created by the system followed him, killing the living corpses with him, which was also a guarantee by the two big bosses to protect his safety.

Gao Hexuan carried a gun on his back, but he did not attack with a gun. He used his own bloodline skills. With a slight movement of his fingers, countless code characters flew out, turned into swords, turned into shields, attacked living corpses, and protected him. 

Compared with his previous bloodline, whether he was attacking or defending, he could now complete things in an instant. He no longer needed the two big guys to stand in front of him and buy him time.

Gao Hexuan, who became more and more confident, not only did not hide when he found an alien, but instead rushed up, countless light gray and transparent codes surrounded the alien.

Gao Hexuan didn’t rush to kill, but galloped around the alien species, and finally trapped the alien species with chains of codes, he then killed the devastated alien species without any hesitation.

Looking down at his hand, although the bloodline ability had been used countless times in practicing auxiliary functions, this was the real effect in the mission world.

Gao Hexuan was excited about his strength, and was even more grateful to the two bosses. If there were no bosses to take him to fly, there would be no increase in physical attributes worth nearly 30,000 survival points.

Gao Hexuan’s way of venting his excitement was to gallop freely in the wilderness to find and kill prey.

As for Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian?

Cheng Huaiqian put a double deck chair on top of the truck, and lay on the deck chair with Xia Ruize.

While Xia Ruize was guarding, Cheng Huaiqian tried to drink a cup of purified life energy. As soon as the green life energy entered his mouth, Cheng Huaiqian felt warm and comfortable all over his body, and he felt drowsy. Of course, he had the desire to sleep, but it was not so strong that he couldn’t resist.

The two waited patiently for twenty minutes. Cheng Huaiqian still did not fall asleep like the natives who drank life energy before, so Xia Ruize also drank with confidence.

As soon as the life energy entered, Xia Ruize immediately realized the warm and comfortable feeling that his lover said, and slumped lazily in the deck chair with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Cheng Huaiqian’s eyes sparkled when he saw it, and he came over to exchange gentle kisses.

Under the bright moon, in the wilderness, the two of them got together.

But in the eyes of the other two soldiers who were in charge of the vigil at the same time, the three of them have been patrolling back and forth on the roof of the car, serious and responsible.

The life energy collected by Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian could not be finished in one cup. After more than ten minutes, after the warm and comfortable feeling in their bodies gradually dissipated, Cheng Huaiqian drank another cup.

No matter how much he smashed it in his mouth, he couldn’t taste the life energy. Cheng Huaiqian personally proved that two cups of life energy were not enough to make them fall asleep.

Xia Ruize then drank a cup with peace of mind. Sure enough, he felt warm all over. He just wanted to doze off, but if he persisted, he could still stay awake.

In the first hour of the vigil, Gao Hexuan was running around in the wilderness, while Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian lay down comfortably and drank two cups of life energy.

After two cups of life energy, Xia Ruize had a new idea after seeing that only one-third of the green liquid was left in the life bottle.

He took out Xiang Zhong from the pet space, and touched the little guy’s head. Xiang Zhong was sleeping soundly. When disturbed, he twisted his body unwillingly, released a little pheromone and buried his head in Xia Ruize’s hand to continue sleeping.
