Chapter 266: Deep Abyss Ghost Nest
Time before dawn during the apocalypse felt darker than the abyss.
Screams spread in the skies above Ying City. Along with it was the gory scent that didn’t dissipate even with the wind blowing.
These things reminded the breathing humans that this was the apocalypse. They weren’t commoners, but they were survivors.
Brother Bao led his men to lay in ambush in a home furniture shop. They looked at the flying monsters in the sky.
He had led the group to wait here for an hour. The sofa, which would cost white-collared workers three months' pay to purchase, was now hot from his body heat, but he still didn’t get the signal to attack.
But he wasn’t anxious as that person said before he left that when the first streak of light descended, that would be the time for them to make a move.
As for borrowing his team, Brother Bao knew that he had no choice. Since his eldest son died, he learned how to judge the situation. Thus, when the guy whose smile gave off a killing intent told him to set off overnight, he led his team.
Nighttime during the apocalypse was always something that humans avoided.
But that person led all of them here peacefully, which made Brother Bao confident in this operation.
Right. Even when he agreed to lead the team here, he didn’t think this building was one that this kid could clear. He felt like this guy would end up like his eldest son.
But he still came as he felt some hope, just that the need for a miracle this time was much larger than before.
“Brother Bao! Here!”
Jiang Tai shouted, which caused him to bounce up from the sofa. He went near the window to look outside.
There was a streak of red on the horizon that was slowly turning bright.
“Move!”
Brother Bao gave an order, and Burning Rage charged out from the shop. Many of them had lighters that they lit up. Then extinguished, then lit up again.
One could instantly hear the sound of monsters flying.
“Head to that building!” Brother Bao charged into the building on the side. There was a bank server room there that was suitable to defend.
Burning Rage cleared 30 meters of this 50-meter distance before the first monster flew toward them.
Battle rang out.
…………………………………………
Ye Zhongming stood on the roof, and when he saw the light, he turned around and walked into the building.
The monster that swallowed Brother Bao’s son was Deep Abyss Ghost Hive, a special alien monster. They were previously known as the living plague.
A mother body would first appear, giving out a gas that could cause illusions. Once other lifeforms walked into the gas, they would have illusions. If they got close to the mother body, it would kill them and use them as nutrients.
This mother body would start to reproduce. It would use the giant nests on its branches to give birth to the lifeform-- Blood Swallow.
This flying being flew exceptionally quickly and had a strong attack. They also had a skill that made use of soundwaves. They weren’t large. A level three and four Blood Swallow was only the size of a dog. A level one and two one sounded like a mature cat. Ye Zhongming hadn’t seen any of them that were above level four.
As the Blood Swallows knew how to fly and the soundwaves would stun. With their mouths and sharp claws, humans and zombies were in danger when they faced them.
But they had their weaknesses which were their bodies. A level three and four Blood Swallow could be killed by a full-strength strike of a two-star evolved. So in front of survivors with special skills and strong mental energy, they were the best source of demon crystals.
But at the start of the apocalypse, there weren’t many humans that could threaten the Blood Swallows.
After the Deep Abyss Ghost Nest produced enough Blood Swallows to protect the mother body and hunt for food, they would reproduce in another way—the new Deep Abyss Ghost Nests or the childs.
These childs would proliferate after absorbing enough nutrients, mature quickly, and produce Blood Swallows. Apart from being unable to give birth to new children, they were just as terrifying as the mother body.
Based on what Brother Bao scouted, this building had over twenty of these nests and could produce 20 swallows daily. After these few days, the number of Blood Swallows would be more than when they scouted.
Ye Zhongming came to the seventh floor carefully. After he entered the building, he held his breath. From how Burning Rage’s men died mysteriously here, he guessed that the Deep Abyss Ghost Nest evolved the illusionary gas into a poison, so he had to be wary of it.
Fortunately, he could hold his breath for a few minutes with his three-star evolved body.
He heard some sounds when he was on the sixth floor. The Deep Abyss Ghost Nests made a squirming noise and also the sound of Blood Swallows flapping their winds. There was also the sound of the ‘fertilizer’ captured previously.
Ye Zhongming got to the 5th story and used the rising sun to see the black or dark brown colored nests.
There were 20 of them, and those giant sacs were squirming. Each move would spit out a green gas from its few pores.
Ye Zhongming was found out right away. They might not have sharp senses like other animals, but when the danger was so close, they could notice it. If not, they wouldn’t be called the living plague.
A dozen Blood Swallows pounced from all corners toward him.
The moment they noticed him, Ye Zhongming started his attack.
After becoming a three-star evolved, Flaming Blade was much stronger, and its effect on these plants improved. Even the rising sun outside couldn’t mask the glow from his blade.
The Blood Swallows and Deep Abyss Ghost Nests in his way were split into two!
Ye Zhongming was like a demon. He didn’t hold back at all, slashing time after time.
A group of them were killed.
Brother Bao’s idea was good. The nests were here, and they just had to kill them. But they didn’t have the understanding that Ye Zhongming had. He held his breath the moment he entered. If not, he would have lost before things even began. They also didn't have strong attacks like he had that could wipe out many enemies in a short time to reduce the dangers they faced.
So they lost. Even a three-star evolved died here. As for Ye Zhongming, he could kill everything here.
Ye Zhongming wiped out half of the 20-30 nests with two blades. He wanted to end the fight, but his eyes flashed, and he noticed a woman standing before him.
En? Xia Lei?
This beautiful woman who dared to joke with Ye Zhongming walked over and pressed her body onto him. That exquisite body’s touch could send a guy crazy. More surprisingly, that woman grabbed his hand and pressed it onto her chest.
At that moment, there were more sounds behind him. He glanced and saw Liang Chuyin. Half her body was on his back. That face buried into his neck, and a warm tongue followed his muscles up.
Comfort surged from his feet up to his head!
This wasn't it. For some reason, Mo Ye appeared behind Xia Lei and smiled at Ye Zhongming like never before. She smiled while starting to undress!
These three women who were the first to follow Ye Zhongming were doing all sorts of alluring motions.
It was as if Ye Zhongming had placed his guard down, and he allowed them to move over and tease him.
Suddenly, the blade about to drop to the ground flicked up, and he used Flaming Blade ahead. The light and flames instantly covered the three women.
