Chapter 397: Mad Rampage! “Spring” Is Now Here for the Humans!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Back on Earth, Su Mo had watched an American movie about the apocalypse.

In this film, if a person was bitten by the infected, they would transform into a zombie and begin to attack people, all within the span of 12 seconds.

Plus, after infection, these zombies were vastly different from what was portrayed in typical zombie films.

Not only would these zombies gain incredible speed and endurance, but they even retained a semblance of human intelligence, allowing them to cooperate to a certain extent.

At that time, the zombies in this movie had left a deep impression on many people, to the extent that the movie was still being discussed on Douban and Zhihu years after the movie was produced.

However, the horrific scenes in that movie were nothing compared to the scene that was unfolding in front of Su Mo right now!

Bang!

Bang Bang!

“Calm down! Everyone, stay down! Don’t try to move!”

Out of the fourteen people from foreign races, three of them were turned into dry corpses in less than fifteen seconds, as if the fast-forward button on their lives had been pressed.

Although Su Mo’s scalp was tingling with shock, he still let out a loud shout and fired the gun into the sky thrice.

The good thing was that such a horrible fate did not befall the remaining people. Listening to the screams and the sound of gunfire, they barely managed to maintain their composure despite the fearful expressions on their faces.

Time passed and, by the time Moore arrived, the three corpses had completely shriveled up and were devoid of moisture. Under the sunlight, they almost seemed to have been charred black.

At the same time, a peculiar smell emanated from the three corpses.

Unlike the stench one would typically expect of decaying corpses, this smell, although very slight, seemed similar to the odor of raw flesh.

Mutant creatures that lacked intelligence would easily be lured in by this smell and would happily consume the corpses as food.

“Woof.... Woof woof. Hiss, woof!”

Seeing that Moore and Oreo had begun to communicate, Su Mo observed the situation for a while longer and glanced toward the foreign races on the ground once more, making sure that none of them were about to transform into dried corpses.

Multitasking, Su Mo directly summoned the game panel and began to browse the World Channel.

As expected, the human chat channel had descended into chaos.

“Guys, you might not believe it, but a crab monster clamped onto my leg just now. I thought I was gonna lose my leg, but then it seemed like it hadn’t eaten or something, because its pincers had no force behind them. I broke them apart with my bare hands, and then I killed it by stabbing a spear into its head! D*mn, I’m awesome!”

“Yeah, bro, you’re so good at boasting. Tell me two more of your jokes? It’s late and I need something to keep me awake.”

“F*ck yeah! That brother from just now who broke open crab pincers with your bare hands, wait for me! You guys know about the Swift Fish, the one with four hands and is super fast? I fended off its four hands with one hand, can you believe it? I don’t know what happened, but it was as slow as my eighty-year-old grandma. When I hit it, I could even touch it with my other free hand…”

“The small group of foreign races who just attacked our raft ferry, more than sixty of them suddenly turned into dried corpses! What the hell?”

“No way, did all that really happen to you guys?”

“Big news, big news, our human officials have finally stepped in! These foreign clans are now being devoured by their powers, and we humans are going to rise!”

“Really? That’s not true though, the foreign races on my side are still a fierce bunch. They haven’t changed at all!”

“...”

Comments that showed elated surprise, with the occasional expression of shock, filled the World Channel.

Some people were shocked that the terrifying foreign races had suddenly turned weak; not only had they lost all their abilities overnight, but their strengths had suddenly become their weak points.

Some people were panicking as large swathes of foreign races were suddenly transformed into dry corpses, looking like they had been drained of all their life force.

As time passed, less than two minutes after Su Mo started scrolling through the channel, more relevant news appeared as the game’s filtering mechanism started to work its magic.

....

The foreign terrestrial clan, the Ferocious Tiger Clan, was known for their strength and had been previously considered powerful despite their lack of weapons, relying on their claws and strength alone.

However, today, some of the heroes who fought against the tigers were surprised to find that the drop in ability that they had joked about…

Came true!

An hour ago, nearly a thousand Ferocious Tigers attacked a raft fleet that had only three hundred people, blindly arrogant as always.

However, unlike what everyone thought would happen, where the Ferocious Tiger Clan killed those three hundred people mercilessly and indiscriminately, the battle developed in a way that blew everyone’s minds.

Almost every human was crushing them in combat, to the point where all of them could take on multiple Ferocious Tigers!

Even a skinny woman could hold her own against two Ferocious Tigers while armed with just a spear.

The strong adult men just slid on their backs against the raft floor and slashed through the abdomens of those Ferocious Tigers, slicing them up on the spot.

What would have originally been a one-sided massacre of humans suddenly turned into a situation where the humans were the ones killing indiscriminately.

Forty-eight minutes later, the battle ended. Out of the 300 humans, there was not a single casualty except for a foolish man who accidentally got cut by tiger claws while he was collecting the spoils of war.

The Ferocious Tiger Clan, on the other hand, left behind 700 tiger carcasses and a dozen treasure chests, fleeing in disarray.

…

It was no coincidence that the Sea Serpent Clan, known for their venomous poison, also suffered an unprecedented total defeat in their marine battle today.

Standing upright, those sea serpents were as tall as a human. They could kill instantly with their poison. Even if it was just spattered on the skin, it would instantly burn through the creature’s skin and mucous membrane like concentrated sulfuric acid, and then the venom would seep into their target’s bloodstream.

At sea, they were almost unbeatable because of this perverted ability.

From their arrival until now, it had only been four or five days but, by winning battles, they had expanded the number of their clansmen by four or five times, reaching a total population of seven hundred!

Given the large number of Sea Serpents, even races stronger than them would not dare to provoke them rashly but, today, they encountered some unusually powerful opponents!

They had another encounter with a human fleet this time. The difference was that, this time, the human fleet had three large ships, more than twenty small ships, and rafts that carried more than two thousand people.

The average foreign clan would not dare to provoke such a huge fleet.

However, the crazy Sea Serpent Clan was not afraid. After getting into formation, they directly launched their first wave of attacks. Their targets were naturally the humans standing on their rafts!

The first round of venom spraying went well.

Their surprise attack gave the humans no time to react at all.

As they expected, the humans who were touched by the venom, ran away like crazy, with the familiar expressions of panic and fear on their faces.

Now that the humans were consumed by panic and fear, the Sea Serpents knew that…

The humans would fight amongst themselves. They only needed to spray their venom a few more times before they would be able to taste the delicious flesh of these human corpses that had been contaminated with venom.

However, today, things were clearly not right!

About ten seconds later, the second group of Sea Serpents emerged and sprayed their venom again. However, the scene that played out in front of their eyes was beyond strange!

The humans who had escaped after being doused in the first round of attacks were not dead. Heck, they were not even injured!

After they ran into the crowd in panic, they were stopped by the other humans, who proceeded to say something unknown to them and, after ten seconds or so, they ran back forward again with a look of surprise on their faces.

This time, they stood on the rafts and enjoyed the venom spray, as if welcoming the baptism of holy water.

Not only did those humans ignore the venom spray, but they also rubbed it on their faces like they were washing their faces with it.

Some people even stuck out their tongues and licked the venom dripping down off their faces, as if they were actually tasting the venom.

What?

What was going on here?

The Sea Serpents looked at one another, but all they could see was the unconcealed shock in each other’s eyes.

However, what would terrify them was yet to come!

These humans, who would have normally collapsed after two rounds of venom spraying, were leaping down from their ships in excitement.

What the Sea Serpents saw in these humans’ eyes was no longer panic or fear, but naked and unadulterated…

Excitement!

Within thirty-seven minutes, over seven hundred of the Sea Serpents were wiped out!

On the spot, two thousand humans were celebrating as if they were at a festival.

Some of them were full of excitement as they held up the bodies of the Sea Serpents in their hands, while others were chagrined, angry at themselves for being too slow to react and for being unable to grab their share of the monsters.

....

The Mad Frogs, who were known for their leaping power, who could leap two to three meters with a single jump, could only leap seven centimeters today!

....

The Pine Bears, who were known for their strength and could carry 500 pounds of boulders without batting an eyelid, could not even hold their own weapons today!

....

The Swift Shrimp, who were known for their swimming speed and could swim 70 yards in bursts of speed, were slower than the leisurely treasure fish!

....

The Brave Otters, who were known for their endless stamina, who could usually last an hour or two, found themselves scratching their heads in embarrassment today after just two seconds, saying that they were too tired today.

…

Across the entire wasteland, these changes that happened overnight were not unique. The instances of such situations increased constantly as time passed.

All the foreign clans who previously regarded humans as ants they could step on because of their strong special abilities suddenly lost those abilities.

At this moment, the strengths that they were so proud of had been transformed into weaknesses.

At this moment, the humans that would have ran away when they saw the foreign clans were now chasing after them at sea.

At this moment, they suddenly felt the same desperation that the humans had felt over the past few days.

At this moment, there was no longer room for regret!

Su Mo looked at Oreo from the corner of his eye, who was listening intently while also barking at Moore.

Su Mo was not in a hurry. After reading the humans’ chat channel, he cut to Connie’s game panel.

As expected, while the humans’ chat channel was filled with excited words and celebrations, the foreign races’ chat channel had turned into a place of mourning.

At this moment, both the foreign clans with strong abilities, as well as the foreign clans with weak abilities, found that their abilities had disappeared overnight.

A few foreign clans with ships survived.

For the foreign clans that stayed at sea last night, 70% of them had completely lost their powers.

Those foreign clans which originally had a strength rating under 0.5, and had no special abilities aside from brute force, had all been exterminated with no survivors.

Other foreign clans might have lost their power, but they lost their lives for good.

However, at this moment, Su Mo believed that those foreign clans who had strong powers would feel more anguished at the fact that they lost their powers than if they had died.

“Surprisingly, even the strength of those foreign clans with strong powers like the Snow Soaring Bear fell to 0.8.”

“This war between the three races hasn’t even started, but the humans have already won?”

Once again, Su Mo scrolled through the World Channel for ten more minutes. He looked impassive, but waves of horror coursed through his heart!

This current wave of human beings from Earth had taken a completely different path from the ones he knew before!

If the current situation persisted, the humans would kill off these foreign races easily after the war commenced.

With the help of the treasure chests that would drop as a result, the humans would develop very quickly as soon as they arrived at the New World.

It was likely that human civilization would be rebuilt in the New World within a year or two.

Compared to Ma Fei’s generation, human technology would be developed more rapidly and would go even farther.

However…

Would things really go as smoothly as planned?
