Many times people are far from being as comprehensive as they think they are.

A thing often contains more trivial details than it seems.

Lang Hua has long heard that silk spider mutants like to live in cold and closed environments.

But he almost forgot what the morgue he had seen in the basement meant.

It means another dedicated elevator that goes directly to the ground floor!

"hateful!"

Lang Hua's eyes glowed with a deep red color, and he ran towards the downstairs at full speed.

Lin Wenjin was also anxious and rushed down after him.

But stairs, which are suitable for climbing up stairs, most hinder the improvement of speed when running.

"Zila zila."

Noisy voices came from the intercom, which made Lang Hua's eyes darker.

"Don't mess up, stand back!"

"Bing Qinglian! Ice Shield!" "Hegemony!" "Phantom!"

"Come back! Hide behind the ice shield!"

"Xiaoxiao, watch your left side!"

"Sister, there are two here too!"

Is the situation already so urgent?

"Charge! Charge! Charge!"

Along with Lang Hua's roar, the ability to rush was instantly blessed on him. Lang Hua ignored the steps on the stairs and crossed a flight of stairs in two steps.

Sometimes, because the speed was too fast and difficult to control, he hit the window edge of the rest platform hard.



On the third floor of the new outpatient clinic building of Shashi People's Hospital, the corridor between the clinics now looks "busy" due to crowding.

"clang."

The ax blade was dodged by the opponent and hit the porcelain stone on the corridor floor along a parabola-like trajectory.

The stainless steel ax blade tilted the body to intersect with it, and suddenly scratched out a series of dazzling sparks.

Lin Qian was breathing heavily, beads of sweat rolling down her temples and dripping on the ground.

The sudden attack, the threat between life and death, the high level of mental concentration...it took a huge amount of energy in just a few minutes, leaving her almost physically and mentally exhausted.

It is indeed the "silk spider mutant" that Lang Hua also kept secret.

This was the third time she had missed. Except for the first few slashes that caught the opponent off guard, the other slashes were dodged by the opponent with more sensitive reactions.

The shortcoming of "power-type users with average speed" was especially obvious when Lin Qian fought against mutants.

If it weren't for the light weight of the broad-bladed battle ax in her hand, her reaction would have been even more clumsy.

Lin Qian thought to herself, hurriedly retracted her forearm, held the long ax across her chest, and narrowly blocked the counterattack of the silk spider mutant.

"Ding", the bone leg claws poked on the axe, making a sound like gold and iron clashing.

"There is a flaw!"

The blow just now was so powerful that it caused chest tightness and discomfort that was hard to ignore.

Lin Qian couldn't care about this at the moment. She used her shoulder force to turn the ax upside down, and struck the mutant's "chest plate" from bottom to top.

The situation that worried her most did not appear. The tomahawk blade cut through and was not stuck in it.

Otherwise she would be really passive.

In fact, according to her original intention, she did not want to go head-to-head with the monster's most powerful breast plate.

After fusion and mutation into a half-human, half-spider monster, the head and neck that originally belonged to humans are still the fatal weakness of the "silk spider mutant".

But in the flash of lightning, Lin Qian was not given so many choices. The power was accumulated too hastily, and her "Hegemony" exerted very little effect, which greatly reduced her combat power.

"It would be great if Xiaoxiao could help me." Lin Qian thought like this, but she also knew that this was really unrealistic.

Not long after encountering these disgusting monsters, Yang Xiaoxiao was entangled by another mutant.

There were afterimages flashing frequently not far away. A pair of daggers intersected with the appendage bone claws one after another, and they made a "dinging" sound on the monster's back armor and chest plate.

But in the end, he failed to break the defense.

Sometimes a stalemate and a lack of progress mean the same thing.

Facing this kind of alternative zombie monster, they can no longer feel the relaxed pleasure of slaughtering low-level black corpses along the way.

The mutant has excellent attack and defense power, quick movements, and some intelligence, making it difficult for the two of them to fight with it.

The intelligence of silk spider mutants is extremely limited, just like ordinary beasts.

Even so, compared to those low-level black corpses dominated by the desire to eat and evolutionary instincts, they don't know how much stronger they are.

As an alien species among dominant necromorphs, the "source of plague" that caused the coalition government great headaches in previous lives, "fusion mutants" are not comparable to those ordinary things.

However, Yang Xiaoxiao's lack of attack power and Lin Qian's moves were clumsy and slow. These shortcomings were infinitely magnified in this battle, making it almost unsustainable for the two of them.

But even deciding to join forces now is unrealistic.

Not to mention that the two of them had unknowingly distanced themselves during the battle. Even if they were gathered together and Lin Qian and Yang Xiaoxiao joined forces to deal with two mutants at the same time, what would be the difference and improvement from the previous situation?

If they cannot be defeated one by one, the longer time passes, the more unfavorable the situation will be for these survivors.

Section 2

"Everyone, please stop messing around and retreat behind the ice shield defense."

While Li Liping was paying attention to the scene, she concentrated on reinforcing the physical defense skill "Ice Shield" that had been formed under the "Bing Qinglian" ability.

After continuous pondering and perception, as well as repeated practice along the way, the outer surface of the ice shield currently formed in Li Liping's hands appears as a regular arc.

This "spatial force" type of thin-shell structure can withstand considerable axial pressure in the curved surface. The reasonable structural form allows the ice shield to make full use of material strength within a larger span to achieve better defense effects.

The ice system's ability creates a local high-pressure and low-temperature environment, which eventually condenses ionic high-strength ice.

But even the enhanced version of the ice shield, even with Li Liping's blessing energy, was unable to withstand it!

Two mutated silk spiders clung to the ice shield, and six pairs of bony limbs scratched scratches on the surface of the ice shield at dizzying speeds, and ice powder fell to the ground in puffs.

In desperation, Li Liping had no choice but to increase energy output and repair the damaged ice shield to increase its thickness.

However, the ice shield condenses quickly, and the monster's limbs are destroyed even faster.

These damn monsters kept making sharp screams, seriously disrupting Li Liping's energy concentration!

Under this ebb and flow, the ice shield is like the white snow under the spring sun. Sooner or later, it will melt away.

But Li Liping was very clear in her heart - she didn't need to win, she just needed to hold on until Lang Hua and the others arrived.

At this moment, Lin Qian suddenly shouted anxiously: "What are you doing? Come back quickly!"

The "Forest of Hanging Corpses" has frightened the "Rooftop Survivors", and the sudden appearance of mutants that become increasingly fierce is more like the straw that breaks the camel's back...

It is common for ordinary people in critical moments to have tense heartstrings and easily become confused.

But these frightened idiots still wanted to run back.

Li Liping frowned, and was about to say something when she saw two sharp jointed limbs suddenly emerge from the entrance to the second floor.

The bone joints and limbs were covered in silvery gray, with white streaks all over them, instantly piercing the chests of the two survivors who fled in panic.

Her expression darkened, knowing that those two people would definitely not survive.

A total of six, Li Liping sighed in her heart, the entire number of silk spider mutants was finally complete this time.

The enemy hiding in the dark finally showed signs, which made her feel relieved.

The direction she was most wary of was actually from the forest of hanging corpses above her head.

Therefore, part of the energy in Bingqinglian was not released, and it secretly paid attention to the movement above its head.

Now that the enemy was coming from behind, Li Liping naturally no longer hesitated and used all her energy to the rear.

"Ice pick technique!" She shouted in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, countless solid and sharp miniature ice picks hit the two mutants that appeared like shotguns.

Seeing that the monster was just repelled and the injuries suffered were not even minor injuries, Li Liping couldn't help but her face darkened.

The Ice Cone Technique can naturally be cast again, but this is a completely unequal waste... In the final analysis, she is just a small first-order early evolver, and her energy conversion level is limited after all. She uses the evolutionary energy reserves in her body to cast her evolutionary abilities. It's just water without a source.

Li Liping is about to make a last resort choice.

Physical shield skills consume a lot of energy. At this stage, she wants to maintain two ice shield defenses at the same time, which is simply wishful thinking.



Suddenly a voice appeared, with a calm tone without any ripples, which seemed out of place in this fierce battlefield.

He said, "Beam."

Following this magnetic baritone voice, a newly appeared mutant was knocked away by something like a strong light.

Lang Hua also arrived at this moment.

After stumbling and falling many times, Prince Hua was disgraced and looked down and out.

But he saw it clearly - this was not "something like a bright light", it was clearly a bright light!

"What? Laser?"

The mutant's compound eyes were burned and lay on the ground wailing. Such a result made Lang Hua sigh:

This person is simply a humanoid self-propelled cannon...

Now that Xiaoxiao and the three of them were all safe and sound, the string in Lang Hua's heart immediately relaxed.

The man who emitted the beam was Zhou Jin wearing a white surgical gown.

If the monster had not broken through the defense soon and the entire team was at risk of falling apart, he would have continued to hide.

The unknown trump card is the trump card that is truly in your own hands.

Zhou Jin understands this truth very well.

But since it has been exposed, then... it will become a blockbuster!

Zhou Jin's eyes flashed with sharpness, and he rushed towards the two mutants that appeared last.

One against two, what a courage!

The beam of light condensed into a diamond to secretly serve as a sneak attack, and the light blade turned into a sword and he danced it into the wind.

This swordsmanship is even better than Lan Xi's Meishuang swordsmanship.

One of the two monsters was stabbed in the compound eye by a laser at the beginning. At this time, their combat power was greatly reduced, and they were at a disadvantage against one against the other.

Seeing this, Lang Hua stepped forward to pick up the two mutants who were fighting Li Liping, and ordered her to support Lin Qian and the others.

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

Perhaps these two mutants witnessed their companions being killed by Lang Hua during the siege two days ago.

When they saw Lang Hua again at this time, they immediately became crazy and seemed to be unstoppable.
