The Last Rock Emperor - Chapter 44
Chapter 44 Crisis Escalation
The scarlet moonlight became the main melody of this world, In the Yifan yard, Everyone who practiced basic martial arts, They all dodged, Eyeglasses was the only one standing outside, He knew about Yifan, After Yifan finished his meal, She only said one thing to him, Practice till 10:00 in the yard tonight at 8:00, When he saw the moonlight, he remembered the dreamy aurora their manager had experienced. He was even mentally prepared to die of pain. However, there was no such thing as a refreshing feeling filled with energy. This made him very excited. He instantly understood that this was an opportunity, a good fortune. Unfortunately, he did not know that this was also the good fortune of all living things.
Mom asked again, “Son, what’s going on? Why is the moon turning red?”
Yi Fan said without turning his head, “Mom, Dad, bathe in the moonlight. This will make you healthier.”
Dad probably also felt that his body was exceptionally refreshing, as if his strength was increasing. He pulled his mother to the stool and stopped talking.
Yi Fan sat on the ground, and Fina immediately followed suit. Yi Fan said to Fina, “Start rushing into the acupoints. This is a very rare opportunity.” Fina nodded quietly.
Eyeglasses was still the only one standing under the moonlight downstairs. The others did not go out. His eyes felt that the lightning energy in his dantian was getting more and more active, and the dark energy in the air was getting thicker and thicker. He hurriedly started circulating his dantian to absorb the dark energy in the air.
Ji Ruoxue and Zhang Liang were mental energy evolvers. Their perception of dark energy was very strong. He looked at each other and then at the eyes sitting in the courtyard. Zhang Liang and Ji Ruoxue walked out of the door almost at the same time. The two of them walked into the middle of the courtyard together and sat beside their eyes.
Bathed in the moonlight, Ji Ruoxue, as a person with speed, mental energy, elemental energy, and three abilities, was extremely sensitive to dark energy. She felt that there was a high concentration of dark matter energy in the moonlight and directly squeezed it into her body. This was simply unbelievable to her.
Zhou Xin saw Zhang Liang and Ji Ruoxue standing up. Qiang Zi, Wang Yang, Ling Wanyao, Deng Ting, Song Yixin, Song Yiyi, Jiang Qing, Jiang Xiaoyu, Wang Bo, Qin Shaoda, and Li Yi all stood out one after another. They also discovered that being illuminated by the moonlight was very comfortable, as if their body mechanisms were slowly growing.
In a moment, All the people in the Yifan Clan sat on the ground in the Yifan Clan’s courtyard. No one spoke. Perhaps some people were puzzled, but in this strange and quiet situation, no one spoke. Even their captain and vice captain sat quietly here. They also saw Yi Fan sitting quietly on the small platform on the third floor. At this moment, they chose to trust their own team and their captain.
The location of the Yifan convoy on the highway, In the rear compartment of a dirt truck, Cauliflower raised her head high and hissed at the scarlet red moon. Cauliflower’s body had already been dyed ruby by the moonlight. If she was farther away, she would probably treat the cauliflower as a handicraft made of exquisite and vivid scarlet gemstones.
Small granary in County D.
A hole suddenly appeared in the ground outside the wall of D County’s small granary. A group of mice the size of puppies flew out. Countless of them were like bottomless broken cloth bags. They went out for more than 10 minutes. All the mice that crawled out were the size of puppies.
‘”Bang…” The entrance of the cave was quite big, and a few mice the size of an adult hyena crawled out of the cave.
‘”Bang…” The entrance of the cave was once again knocked out. In the end, a giant mouse the size of an adult wolf dog appeared. All of the rats landed on the ground with their hind legs. They raised their front legs and their heads were facing the Demon Moon. It was as if they had been cast a body-fixing spell. For a moment, every mouse’s body was suffused with a scarlet light.
In downtown C City.
Inside the train station, the square, the open area of the community, the subway station, the airport, and the streets, all the wandering zombies stopped. There was even a zombie that had managed to hold down a little girl and gave up the food, stood up and howled at the scarlet moon.
The loss of the entire city was so terrifying that the survivors hiding all over the city were so frightened that they didn’t dare to make a sound when they saw this terrifying scene.
More and more scarlet light was lingering around Lost’s body, and even a Lost at the fountain pool of the railway station had turned into a huge scarlet gem cocoon on the spot.
Survivor Base of C City Armed Police Corps
Zhou Weiguo paced back and forth in the headquarters. There were more than ten staff officers standing in front of him, but none of them dared to speak.
He stopped and asked angrily, “What’s going on outside now? Blood-red moonlight? The zombies are all shouting at the moon. They didn’t call you here to stand there dumbfounded, Chief of Staff, tell me.”
“Old Zhou, I think there’s something fishy about this, “Why don’t we just wait and see? We’ve also harvested a lot of meat today. Let all the soldiers stay in the barracks tonight and are not allowed to go out. I think that strange moonlight is extraordinary. Especially those evolvers who definitely can’t let them go out. This evolver is the most important power we have right now. We definitely can’t afford to lose it.” Said the Chief of Staff.
Zhou Weiguo also nodded, but he still looked at the few staff officers standing there and asked, “What do you think?”
One of the sharp-mouthed staff officers stepped forward and said, “I think we can split up into two steps and arrange for a portion of the ordinary survivors who have come to join us to stand under the moonlight. If they are fine, then they will die. Secret arrangements will be fine. Perhaps there will be unexpected joy.”
Zhou Weiguo immediately said, “Alright, let’s do this. Let’s do it.”
Everyone stood upright and said, “Yes!”
Such a decision and order was the final choice for most of the survivor bases. Who knew that they would miss out on another chance to become stronger?
6:00 a.m. May 9, 2030.
In Yi Fan’s courtyard, everyone sat quietly all night. However, strangely enough, they did not feel tired at all. The scarlet demonic moon had disappeared. Eyeglasses opened their eyes, and a dazzling bolt of lightning flashed through them. They stood up. There was a sound of a horn hacking on their bodies, and even occasional lightning flashes appeared on their bodies.
Zhou Xin, Qiangzi, Zhang Liang, Wang Yang, Ling Wanyao, Song Yixin, Song Yiyi, Jiang Qing, Jiang Xiaoyu, Deng Ting, Li Yi, Qin Shaoda. All evolvers felt that their physical mechanisms were at least three times stronger. This was simply a dream. Not only were they evolvers, even ordinary humans felt that they were much stronger than yesterday.
On the small platform on the third floor.
Yifan and Fei Na are like two ruby sculptures, Sitting upright on the ground, the red color on both of their bodies gradually thinned and disappeared. Yifan’s entire body began to emit intense blue light. Fei Na’s body began to emit a black mist like pitch black ink. It was like a dream, and it looked very unreal. It was like a black and ethereal wind ball.
The two of them were surrounded by a huge whirlpool. The dark energy in the surrounding air was frantically sucked in and poured into Yifan. Fei Na’s physical strength lasted for more than 10 minutes. Everyone below saw the abnormal phenomenon above and raised their heads to look at the small platform on the third floor.
After a while, the vortex disappeared. Yifan and Fei Na stood up at the same time. There was a burst of peas popping from their bodies. Yifan looked back at his mother and said, “Dad, Mom, how are you feeling?”
Mom shook her shoulders and said, “Well, this moonlight is really magical. If it were me sitting outside all night and blowing the wind all night, I definitely wouldn’t be able to lift my hand. But now I don’t feel any pain at all. I have some scapulohumeral periarthritis, you know, and now I don’t even feel any pain at all.”
Dad sighed and said, “I feel that my strength has increased a lot. I have been working on iron for decades, but I still have some knowledge of my own strength. I feel that my strength is at least double what it used to be.”
Yi Fan looked at the sun that had already shown a red line in the sky and murmured, “It’s good that it works. Unfortunately, we’re not the only beneficiaries …”
In downtown C City.
At the train station, On the plaza, in the open area of the community, Airports, streets, All the zombies regained their mobility, Losing one by one, they actually started to run at a high speed. Without the slightest hesitation or clumsiness of yesterday, Ignoring their faces and claws, Just like an ordinary person, Countless Second Grade Losses began to awaken in the Lost Group. There were metal corpses with a tail flung behind their buttocks, sharp blade corpses with sharp bone spikes on their elbows, fire corpses that were burning all over their bodies, and so on. If Yifan were here, he would see many of the Losses he was familiar with in his previous life reappearing.
Beside the fountain of the railway station.
A huge ruby cocoon, It’s getting thinner, In a moment, the ruby cocoon had completely disappeared. A woman slowly stood up. This woman’s clothes were a little messy, even exposing some of the greatness on her chest. Her big bright eyes were bright, but her pupils were scarlet like last night’s moonlight. She pulled on her clothes, raised her head and opened her mouth. Her sharp teeth exposed her identity. She was a zombie, and she was not an ordinary zombie.
‘”Ah…” She let out an extremely sharp cry. On the railway station square, there were over a thousand zombies who immediately received a signal. They all howled and quickly gathered towards her. Obviously, her status in the zombie race was very special. If Yifan saw her, he would definitely recognize her, because she was the strongest zombie king in C City in his previous life, the Blood Eye Zombie King.
Small granary in County D.
Outside the walls of D County’s small granary, a dense herd of rats, It’s gone, The big bellied man brought the farmer to the last grain storage room, At this moment, the grain storage room could only be described as a thousand through a hundred holes, The circular building was filled with holes the size of puppies. The door had also disappeared. There were no people or creatures inside. Apart from a few traces of blood on the wall, there were a few transformed iron leather bands and a few shovels and hoes left on the ground. There was nothing left.
From today onwards, people would discover that the zombies that were originally ferocious and fearless of life and death had become even more terrifying. They had already become more flexible. As long as they were First Grade zombies bathed in Demon Moon, there would no longer be any flesh in their bodies. All of them had turned into crystalline cores in their brains.
Now, the First Grade zombies had learned to climb and run quickly. They already possessed the instincts of hunters, and the food they hunted was all living creatures. The originally dormant mutated beasts would gradually appear in front of the pathetic human survivors. Only now did the battle for human survival truly begin.
Yifan stood on the top of Xiaoping on the third floor and looked at the crowd downstairs. He began to worry in his heart…
