The Last Rock Emperor - Chapter 51

Chapter 51 Rat Tide Battle Damage
At 9.30 p.m. On May 11, 2030, in the small living room of Yifan’s home.

All the captains and vice captains of the Heavenly Rock Five Birds Squad sat upright here. Yifan said with a slightly tired voice, “Now let’s count the damages of this rat tide.”

“Song Yixin, the Tigers have told you to count. Now, tell me about the Heavenly Rock Tigers’ losses this time.”

Song Yi sadly said, “Team Leader, our Heavenly Rock Tigers are one of the teams guarding the main entrance this time. They suffered heavy losses.”

‘”Five ordinary evolvers died in battle, one was seriously injured and crippled, the speed evolver-die in battle, the strength evolver-Zhao Hongyu died in battle, the rest of the team members suffered minor injuries to varying degrees, but with the evolver’s physique, it wouldn’t be a big problem.”

After hearing that, Yifan took a deep breath. His Tigers, along with his 18-man team, had actually lost seven people after a rat tide. One of them was seriously injured and crippled. The rest of them were all injured. Yifan looked at Song Yixin, whose arms and shoulders had been torn off. He said with a heavy body, “How is the injured man? Where are his injuries?”

Song Yixin said, “One arm was completely devoured by the rats.”

Yifan said, “Take some cores and let him advance to Second Grade now. Even if he loses an arm, he will always be a member of the Heavenly Rock Tigers.”

Yifan immediately took out 10 Class 1 cores from his pocket. Song Yixin took them and handed them over to Song Yiyi. Song Yiyi nodded at Yifan and immediately went down.

Yifan continued, “Ji Ruoxue, how is the deer team?”

Ji Ruoxue said deeply, “Team Leader, the Heavenly Rock Deer Team is also guarding the main entrance, causing huge losses.”

“Six ordinary evolvers died in battle. The rest were lightly injured.”

Yifan looked at Ji Ruoxue’s delicate face, full of exhaustion and sorrow. At this moment, she was also covered in wounds. Her white T-shirt had been dyed red with fresh blood. There were countless wounds of various sizes on her body, and even the bones of her left ring finger were exposed. It seemed that she had almost been bitten by the mutated rat.

Yi Fan said indifferently, “Sit down. I know you did your best.”

Hearing Yifan’s words, Ji Ruoxue quietly sat down.

Yifan looked at Qiangzi, whose eyes were bloodshot, and said, “Qiangzi, how’s the Bears?”

Qiangzi stood up excitedly and said, “Boss, I’m sorry, I didn’t protect the team.”

“Seven ordinary evolvers of the Heavenly Rock Bears died in battle, while Zhu Yong, a power evolver, died in battle.”

Yi Fan said somewhat numbly, “Sit down. It’s not your fault. In the next battle, use this as a lesson to strengthen your team spirit.”

Qiangzi sat down dejectedly, tears flickering in his eyes. Many of the seven people who died were familiar with him. Among them, Wang Bo, who had a good impression of Yifan, also died, causing Qiangzi to blame himself. Although Qiangzi fought hard, he could only watch as Wang Bo was dragged into the pack of rats and devoured quickly.

Yifan looked at his glasses and asked, “How is the Heavenly Rock Apes?”

Eyeglasses said with exhaustion, “Heavenly Rock Apes, five ordinary evolvers died in battle. Strength evolver Li Wenfang died in battle. Other minor injuries. One of the people you are familiar with died in battle.”

Yifan asked nervously, “Who is it?”

“Jiang Xiaoyu!”

Yifan’s eyes narrowed as he murmured, “Is that so? That flower-like girl actually died in this damn rat tide.”

Yifan remembered Jiang Xiaoyu’s clumsy appearance when she killed the zombie for the first time. She remembered her firm words when she bandaged her. Her beautiful young face and scorching eyes made Yifan hold back the tears that rolled in her eyes.

Yifan asked hoarsely, “How is Jiang Qing?”

‘”What can I do? I haven’t eaten at night. I didn’t say anything beside the rat corpse in the basement. The blow to her this time is not small. I can only let her slowly recover. No one else can help her.”

Yifan didn’t say anything else. He sighed deeply and said, “Zhou Xin, how is the Hawks?”

Zhou Xin stood up and said, “Heavenly Rock Hawks, six ordinary evolvers died, while Zhang Jun, a speed evolver, died in battle.”

Yifan silently gestured for Zhou Xin to sit down, but he stood up and said with a heavy tone, “I have just counted the battle losses you reported.”

“The Heavenly Rock Tigers have 18 people and 11 people left with a disability.”

“The Heavenly Rock Deer team has 16 players and 10 players.”

“The Heavenly Rock Bears have 17 players and 9 players.”

“The Heavenly Rock Ape Squad has 16 people and more than 10 people.”

“The Heavenly Rock Hawks have 16 players and 9 players.”

“We originally had 83 evolved teams, and 49 remained after this battle.”

Everyone was silent. They were all reflecting on their shortcomings in this battle.

Yi Fan then said in a low voice, “Fina and I will no longer be captains and vice captains of the Tigers from today onwards.”

“Song Yixin, you are the captain, Song Yiyi is the deputy team leader, I am the team leader of the Heavenly Rock Group, Fei Na and Nian Chen are the deputy team leaders. When neither I nor Fei Na are around, everyone will listen to Nian Chen’s orders.”

“This time, we suffered heavy losses, but we can’t let this slide. The reason why I’m no longer the captain of the Tigers is because Fei Na and I often need to rush to the front lines to execute beheading operations like today, so we can’t take into account our team members.”

“From tomorrow onwards, we will continue to practice the basic functions according to our original plan. Remember, you are not alone. You are a team. I will personally lead the team to practice tomorrow, and I will also teach everyone a set of footwork.”

“Everyone, rest early today. Eyeglasses, go arrange the sentry post first. I’ll help them upgrade first.”

“Ji Ruoxue, Ling Wanyao, Qiangzi, Wang Yang, Zhang Liang, Zhou Xin, stay here for a moment. The others should disperse!”

Yifan originally wanted Ji Ruoxue to go upstairs to the living room, but he discovered that Ji Ruoxue was not the only one who needed to increase his strength. The other captains all needed to increase their strength.

Yifan took out a few crystal cores from his pocket and said to Ji Ruoxue, “Eat them one by one. If you feel like advancing, stop.”

Without any hesitation, Ji Ruoxue swallowed an irregular diamond-shaped First Grade crystal core the size of a sugar bean. The dark energy in her body had already begun to surge, and she ate five more before her entire body began to surge with powerful water-type energy fluctuations.

Yifan knew that she was going to advance, so he immediately asked her to sit down. Yifan immediately sat behind Ji Ruoxue. Ji Ruoxue was already a peak Second Grade existence after the appearance of the Monster Moon. In addition to absorbing five First Grade crystal cores in a row, she was finally about to advance to Third Grade under the stimulation of this powerful dark energy.

Yifan placed his hand on Ji Ruoxue’s back. He felt that Ji Ruoxue’s body temperature was much lower than an ordinary person’s. He immediately felt cold when his hand touched Ji Ruoxue’s body. At this moment, a sapphire blue vortex began to surge in Ji Ruoxue’s lower abdomen, sucking in the dark energy in the air and gathering in her body.

Yi Fan’s twelve meridians and eight strange meridians had all been opened. The control of rock power was almost perfect. Yi Fan guided Ji Ruoxue’s water attribute ability and the dark energy in his body to open the twelve meridians. When he reached his chest, the azure light on Yi Fan’s back flashed.

The two energies in Ji Ruoxue’s body were instantly rubbed together. Ji Ruoxue didn’t even feel anything big. She only felt her heart palpitate for an instant and discovered that the energies in her body had actually fused together to form a new dark blue energy. This was Ji Ruoxue’s unique water energy.

At this moment, Yi Fan no longer cared about Ji Ruoxue. She needed to circulate her water energy for a full cycle in the twelve meridians.

Yifan stood up and said to Ling Wanyao, “The next one is you. You have just advanced to Second Grade, but it’s not suitable for you to do so. Otherwise, your foundation will be unstable and your combat strength will be weak. Wait for you to completely control the energy in Second Grade body to lay a solid foundation before advancing.”

Yifan pointed between Ling Wanyao’s eyebrows. She left behind a set of footwork in her spiritual world. After Third Grade, Yifan’s spiritual energy increased to a terrifying level. In just a short moment, she left behind a set of advanced footwork, the Photo Step, in Ling Wanyao’s spiritual world. She also left behind a twelve-dignified analysis of the eight strange meridians in Ling Wanyao’s spiritual world.

The two of them opened their eyes. Yifan said, “Draw the footwork and the Twelve Serious Meridians tonight. Paste it in the basement tomorrow. We’ll talk about the Eight Strange Meridians later. You’ve already accepted the photos. It’s very useful. If you practice properly, you might be able to open up the Twelve Serious Meridians without my help.”

Ling Wanyao nodded and left the living room. She also knew that she had just advanced to Second Grade. If she advanced again, she would not be able to control that powerful force. This would be detrimental to her future development. In addition, as an art major student, she had been taught by Yifan. This gave her tremendous room for development.

A moment later, Ji Ruoxue woke up from her meditation. She stood up and said to Yifan, “Senior, thank you for your help.” At this moment, Ji Ruoxue gave off a feeling like a cold lake filled with ice water.

At this time, her injuries had basically healed. In the process of evolution, the growth of her body’s mechanism would speed up her body’s self-healing speed. Of course, if her body was damaged, it would be impossible for her to recover.

He shook his head and said, “It doesn’t matter. In the future, taking care of the team will be the greatest thanks to me.”

Ji Ruoxue nodded and turned around to leave.

Next up is Qiangzi, Wang Yang, Zhang Liang, and Zhou Xin didn’t have any elemental abilities. Furthermore, they had advanced to Second Grade for a period of time. In addition to the appearance of Yao Yue, they were all peak Second Grade. Yifan also used the same method to let them eat the crystal cores to advance to Third Grade. After that, he helped them open up their dantian and opened up the Twelve Master Scriptures.

Moments later, the three of them walked out of the small living room with satisfaction. Not long after the three of them left, their glasses entered.

Sitting in the small living room without saying a word, he sat silently on a stool in the living room. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit one himself.

Then he handed the cigarette and lighter to Yifan.

Yi Fan took the cigarette and didn’t say anything. Fina sat beside Yi Fan like an invisible person. She hadn’t opened her mouth since the meeting.

“Da!” Eyeglasses swallowed the smoke and said in a daze, “Yifan, why did this world suddenly become like this?”

“It’s just a litter of rats. How could it become so terrifying in such a short period of time?”

After a moment of silence, Yi Fan said, “Have you ever heard a word that describes a mouse?”

Eyeglasses asked doubtfully, “What do you mean?”

Yi Fan said indifferently, “One male and one female, three hundred and five a year!”

Fei Na couldn’t help but ask in shock, “What do you mean by a male and a female, three hundred and fifty rats a year? Can you give birth to three hundred and fifty rats a year?”

Yi Fan sighed and said, “Yes, this is an unmutated mouse from before the apocalypse. Furthermore, it is only a pair of mice, not counting the number of children they reproduce. You should know that a mother mouse can conceive within 40 days of growing up. This way, both parents and children will give birth at the same time, just like a breeding machine, causing the number of mice to increase dramatically.”

“As for these mutated rats, I don’t know how powerful their reproductive ability is, but I think it should be extremely terrifying.”

Eyeglasses said, “Yifan, I’m a little worried about my parents. They’re in Shanglu City, where the population is more dense. We’ve gathered so many progressors, but we’ve lost nearly half of our strength in a single rat tide.”

‘”I can’t imagine their situation. This damn catastrophe happened all of a sudden. Although I lied to them that I wanted to surprise them and make them wait for me in their hotel room at 8 o’clock, I still have no idea.”

At this moment, Yifan said confidently, “Your parents will be fine, They are all talents in special fields, “There’s a huge difference between them and my parents. As long as they don’t mutate into zombies when the apocalypse erupts, nothing will happen to them. Don’t forget that they are going to a meeting. At their level of meeting, the higher-ups of the military will definitely know. And in such a stall, they are definitely a member of a small group that is under special protection.”

Actually, the reason why Yifan was so sure was because he knew that Eyeglasses’ parents had indeed received a great deal of special protection in their previous lives. That was why he dared to be so sure. Of course, he was also giving this best friend a reassuring pill.

Eyeglasses was relieved to see Yifan say that, but still asked, “Why are you so sure?”

Yifan said calmly, “Don’t forget my ability. Alright, don’t think too much. The crueler tomorrow will be waiting for us.”

Eyeglasses fixed his gaze on Yi Fan and then calmly said, “No matter how cruel tomorrow will be, I believe that you will lead us out of a heavenly path.”

Yifan said seriously, “There is no Grand Dao to Heaven. There is a path to Third Grade. Do you want it?”

Eyeglasses: “Isn’t that nonsense? Hurry up!”

A moment later, Eyeglasses walked out of the small living room. As Yifan watched them disappear at the door, he murmured in his heart, “Brothers, I’ve laid a solid foundation for you. It depends on how far you can go …”
