Doomsday Run (6): Encounter with the enemy

Xia Ruize carefully set up an illusion outside the two courtyards where everyone in the team rested, shrouding everyone inside. What they heard and saw was what he wanted them to hear and see, and then he waited patiently.

Whether Xiang Zhong’s pheromone would work on the living corpses in this mission world was still unknown for the time being, but the two of them were idle and wanted to have some fun.

Facts proved that Xiang Chong was extremely talented at attracting monsters. He had traveled across multiple mission worlds without missing a beat!

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, who were chatting leisurely on the roof deck chair, waited for more than ten minutes, and their keen hearing was the first to detect the abnormality.

In the silent night, the sound of the corpse screaming was particularly obvious.

Xia Ruize sat up and looked into the distance. By the moonlight, he could barely see the living corpses rushing towards the human camp, not one or two, but eight at once.

“Ha, it’s really useful, I’ll give you credit!”

Cheng Huaiqian smiled and poked the sleepy head buried in Xia Ruize’s hands. Although this little guy couldn’t provide much help in battle, he was a super weapon in attracting monsters.

Duan twisted his plump body dissatisfied, changed direction and wanted to continue sleeping.

“Go back and wake up, you have to work hard tonight.”

Xia Ruize hilariously raised Xiang Zhong, who had been eating and sleeping in the spiritual pet space, to his eyes and shook it to wake it up, and prepared to send it back to the spiritual pet space. After dealing with the wave of attracted living corpses, let Duan  take action again.

Duan regained his energy, waving his little wings and flew to settle on Xia Ruize’s shoulder, indicating that he would stay here to supervise the work.

After being praised by his master, Duan wanted to see the two ghost bat neighbors first and show off to them, see who was the master’s favorite!

Xia Ruize saw he didn’t want to go back. He even lay still and didn’t move, just watched Cheng Huaiqian shoot and kill all the living corpses that rushed in front of him.

Now that it was confirmed that Xiang Zhong could also attract monsters in this mission world, the two of them were not going to continue wasting time.

After jumping out of the truck, Cheng Huaiqian released a war horse, and the two of them rode together to a high hillside more than 500 meters away from the camp.

Xia Ruize poked at Duan´s small body, and obediently released three times the amount of pheromones before.

This time, after only five minutes of waiting, more than forty living corpses rushed over.

The two people sitting on the horse did not rush to attack. They waited until all the living corpses in front rushed forward and all the living corpses behind appeared in sight before Xia Ruize finally moved.

Xia Ruize took out his bow. This time, he did not take out the arrows from the quiver, but pulled the bow directly. As his hand pulled the bow, a cluster of transparent arrows appeared on the bow, which was full of brilliance.

The reason why it was said to be a cluster was that after Xia Ruize let go, the arrows that flew out were not one, but twenty-seven.

These light arrows did not even go in a straight line, but seemed to automatically find their targets, rotating in wonderful arcs and covering the movement trajectories of all living corpses in a fan shape, either one arrow strikes one, or one arrow penetrates a line. In short, when the bow was fired, all the living corpses fell down.

Immediately, Cheng Huaiqian applauded, Xiang Zhong flapped his wings dumbly, and cheered for Xia Ruize together. Xia Ruize smiled embarrassedly, and his face turned red.

Duan didn’t need the owner’s reminder, and actively released three times the previous pheromone.

Before waiting for the new prey to be sent to the door, Xia Ruize notified the system ghost bat to return, and at the same time, to bring back Gao Hexuan, who was running farther.

Gao Hexuan was riding his horse to find his target, but the ghost bat, which had been invisible for a long time, suddenly appeared in front of him, and then grabbed his clothes with his small claws and dragged him backward.

Gao Hexuan immediately knew that this was the boss telling him to go back.

Gao Hexuan, who was worried about what happened to the camp, immediately turned his horse’s head and returned with all his strength.

Running and running, Gao Hexuan found that there was a living corpse in front of him running wildly in the same direction as him. What was even more bizarre was that the living corpse completely ignored him, roaring and running forward.

Gao Hexuan was confused for a moment, and immediately realized something.

In the world that he and the two bosses met for the first time, the two bosses had unique skills of attracting monsters!

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, who had unique skills in attracting monsters, attracted three alien species.

Cheng Huaiqian didn’t have the chance to get in close contact with the aliens during the day, so he rushed forward with his sword in hand.

He took two steps, jumped up, and flashed. The person had already stood behind the head of the alien species that was rushing in front of him. With a long sword in his hand, the front of the sword body was shining brightly, dividing the huge head of the alien species from the neck to the top of the head into two halves.

The alien species that looked like a behemoth couldn’t even hold out a single move.

Stepping on the fallen body of the alien species, Cheng Huaiqian used his strength to jump onto another alien species that rushed over.

For Cheng Huaiqian, who was holding a sword, these alien species that had grown a huge body were cut off like melons and vegetables without any threat, and turned into life energy in Cheng Huaiqian’s life bottle.

Gao Hexuan, who had returned to the team, once again enjoyed the state of staying at the back, only focusing on output, not protection at all.

The thousands of living corpses, dozens of aliens, and even five super aliens attracted by Duan did not escape the fate of hitting the streets on the spot.

As the time approached late at night, the three of them finally stopped the cycle of attracting monsters and killing monsters because there were not enough life bottles.

Even if they drank the purified life energy while fighting, the three’s life bottles were almost full.

During the previous battle, three hours after Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian drank life energy for the first time, the two received a prompt:

[Drink a cup of life energy. Strength+0.1 Agility+0.1 Spirit+0.1 Constitution+0.1]

Recalling Qin Feng’s previous reminder, they realized that after the life energy entered the body, it took about three hours of digestion time, and then it would be converted into the final gain.

This was good stuff!

A cup of life energy could bring a gain of 0.1 to all attributes, the value was equivalent to 800 life points. More importantly, it was not difficult for the three of them to accumulate a cup of life energy.

The three who were aware of the benefits of life energy gave themselves a drink of life energy between the battles. Unfortunately, after drinking two cups, Gao Hexuan took the lead and shook his head and waved his hand to indicate that he could no longer drink, he was too sleepy.

Cheng Huai had no choice but to pause after drinking six cups. Xia Ruize persisted the longest, and finally stopped after drinking nine and a half cups. In this way, their life bottle was filled up again with the life energy obtained later.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and before rotation, the three of them destroyed the messy battlefield with fire, set up their tent to wash and change their clothes, and then returned to the roof of the truck next to the camp, waiting for people to come and switch the night duty.

“How is the situation?”

Qin Feng was woken up by his subordinates, and his head was still groggy. He knew that this was a side effect of drinking life energy, and he didn’t care. He pinched his eyebrows and asked in a low voice about the previous five hours.

“Everything is normal.” The subordinate replied quickly, with a somewhat relaxed tone, and joked, “It has been very quiet all the time, there are no monsters, it seems that we have good luck tonight.”

Qin Feng and Xia Ruize met face-to-face, and as usual, they asked two questions about the vigil, and they got the same reply as usual.

After instructing the three of them to go back to the tent to rest, Qin Feng climbed onto the roof of the car, blowing the night wind, and started vigil, and soon found that it was too quiet tonight.

On the other side, Xia Ruize removed the illusion that surrounded the entire camp, only set up a new one in the corner of the courtyard where they rested, and set up their own tent.

Lying comfortably on the bed, he took out the purified life energy and poured it down one cup after another.

Cheng Huaiqian drank a whole bottle, said “good night” in a daze, and fell asleep.

Xia Ruize also felt that after drinking a cup of life energy, his whole body was warm, and the desire to fall asleep was too strong to resist. After trying to purify all the energy in the life bottle, he closed his eyes and fell into a sweet dream.

At dawn the next day, after the leaders in charge of the vigil communicated with each other, the unanimous feeling was that the whole night was too calm.

Although such long-distance missions were rare, they also spent the night in the wilderness outside the base. Not only did they have to clean up sporadic monsters every time, but three times out of five, everyone on the night had to be called up to defend against the monsters.

It was very rare that the situation was calm all night like last night, and the guards on duty did not even fire a few shots.

In the crowd, the three of Xia Ruize were buried in the pancakes, hiding their merits and fame. They attracted monsters with a radius of more than ten kilometers and killed them. Of course, the follow-up watchers couldn’t even see the shadow of a monster.

Before the sky was completely bright, the team set off again.

No one noticed that the hillside not far from the camp seemed to be a little different from before.

In the morning, the logistics soldiers only heated pancaked and hot water. Not only did they have no instant noodle soup, but each person only shared two cakes. Where was it enough to eat?

Standing on the roof of the car, Xia Ruize decisively set up an illusion, and got together with the two teammates to fill his stomach with food from the space. The hot big meat buns were eaten in three mouthfuls, and it took a dozen or so to feel that breakfast was satisfying.

Until they finished eating, the surrounding area of ​​the truck was still very quiet, not even a living body.

Qin Feng felt that the situation was really strange, but he couldn’t figure out the reason, so he could only be vigilant.

It wasn’t until the truck drove more than ten kilometers that he finally saw a living corpse surrounded by the sound of the convoy.

Inexplicably, looking at the monsters that were extremely disgusting on weekdays, Qin Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, not afraid of encountering monsters, but afraid of encountering abnormal situations.

The itinerary in the morning went smoothly, but the captain called to stop ahead of time, and after the morning was over, he stopped for lunch.

After going to the meeting, Qin Feng came back and conveyed the meaning of the captain:

“We are going to pass through a city in the afternoon. The situation is unclear. We need to recharge our batteries and make full preparations.”

The atmosphere of the team immediately became tense, and everyone looked solemn.

There were many people in a city, which meant that there were also many living corpses. The larger the living corpse base, the more likely it was to raise higher-level monsters. Therefore, the cities had become the most dangerous places after the disaster.

After everyone had enough rest, at 1 in the noon, the team set off again.

The convoy had to pass through the city, and it wasn’t bad to be too careful.

Being careful, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian saw an oversized monster ten meters high in the distance.
