The Last Rock Emperor - Chapter 71
Chapter 71 Hunting Zombies
7:00 a.m. May 17, 2030.
Inside a running car, Yifan opened his eyes. His eyes shone brightly. Yifan had cultivated the Heavenly Rock Body Refinement Ceremony all night. The leather refinement chapter had already reached a small success. One had to know that Xiao Cheng’s leather refinement was actually very strong.
Yifan was struck by the Ghost Child Corpse King in the battle yesterday. Although he tried his best to dodge, he was still scratched by the claw wind. If it wasn’t for Yifan’s small success in skin refining, it wouldn’t have ended so easily. Yifan’s skin was already incomparably tough under normal conditions, and his body was even more solid as golden soup when he circulated his rock energy. His defense was extremely strong.
Yi Fan practiced a top-notch cultivation technique, Yi Fan had already started cultivating the contents of the second chapter of Tendon Refinement after reaching the Small Skin Refinement stage. There was basically no overview of the second chapter of Tendon Refinement. There were only some body drawings and nine sets of body movements. Yi Fan took advantage of everyone’s asleep last night to try these movements. They were very different from yoga movements and were extremely difficult.
Right now, Yi Fan could only complete the first four sets of movements. Every time he finished practicing a set of movements, he would immediately sit in the back seat of the car.
And began to absorb a strange rock called jade rock.
It could be said that his harvest was not shallow. Yifan clearly felt that his meridians had greatly increased in toughness, and even the width and thickness of his meridians were slightly wider than before. In this way, he would be able to transmit more and faster energy than the others in the later stages. It was simply heaven defying.
The so-called tendon refinement is not only the meridians, but also the combination of the joints between bones, including ligaments, periosteum, soft tissues between joints, and various fluids. All of these can be collectively referred to as “tendon”. When it is supported outwards, it will produce tension;
This tension allows our bone frames to be pulled, pulled, and bound by gravity, allowing the tendons and bones of the human body to form a shelf that is connected together. It can also produce elasticity through expansion and contraction, and this elasticity is what is commonly called “strength” in China’s Nei Jia Fist.
Yi Fan wasn’t a martial arts expert in his previous life. However, he saw that the Heavenly Rock Sect’s understanding of muscles and bones seemed to be similar to Huaxia’s inner boxing. The difference was that the Heavenly Rock Sect had used strange rocks and rocks to assist in the process of cultivating, making the effect even more outstanding. After cultivating, the power would be incomparably frightening.
After a night of cultivation, Yi Fan’s tendons were tempered by a magical rock like Jade Resin Rock. This made his tendons stronger, tougher, more stretchable, and his body’s defensive and anti-extreme abilities also improved significantly.
After passing a test, Yifan discovered that his body strength and speed had been increased by two to three times. Moreover, his body’s flexibility had also been greatly improved under Yifan’s painful cold sweat.
This kind of cultivation made Yifan feel satisfied. He was fine. Half of the Heavenly Rock Five Birds Squad had already gone out to hunt zombies. At this moment, Yifan was rarely at ease and began to study his own cultivation methods.
Sometimes, Yifan was even wondering if he should find an old forest deep in the mountains to cultivate for a few years. Unfortunately, this was the early Doomsday, and it was the golden age of power development.
The hardships he had gone through in his previous life had allowed him to know that there were no great drawbacks brought about by power or backers. Therefore, in this life, he had to personally create an incomparably powerful power.
All of this was just an illusion. Yi Fan began to cultivate again. He gave Qiangzi full authority over the matters outside. The two captains who went out to lead the team today were Eyeglasses and Zhou Xin, while Yi Fan gave Qiangzi all the matters in the garage.
In a small shop a few blocks away from the front gate of the hospital, the floor suddenly exploded. 55 people walked out one after another. Since the last rat tide, the old members of the five birds of Heavenly Rock squad were nine or ten.
They were led by Eyeglasses, Zhou Xin, Song Yiyi, Zhang Liang, Wang Yang, and a few others. Each team consisted of five old members and five new members. Fina, on the other hand, had long since hidden herself in the dark. Fina would not show herself unless she was in danger.
At this moment, everyone was armed to the teeth. On their left and right legs, they were carrying a field battle bag. On their backs was a tactical bag with some ammunition. Each of the old players had sharp weapons hanging from their waists and tactical backpacks on their backs. There was food and ammunition for the day inside.
The new members were all wearing light armor as they held the weapons that Brother Xiong had obtained from the canteen, such as fire axes, street machetes, and so on. They were also equipped with a battle bag between their legs, and there was only a pistol inside.
Eyeglasses was the first to jump out of the tunnel. Moments later, everyone left the tunnel. Instantly, the shop where the clothes were bought became a little crowded. The clothes and seats in the shop were arranged neatly. It was obvious that the door had not been opened since the apocalypse erupted.
“Zhao Kai, the exit of this tunnel looks good. You seem to have put in some effort.” Eyeglasses looked at the surroundings and said to the tall man.
However, Zhao Kai said modestly, “This small matter is nothing. Compared to the Nian team, it is far inferior.”
Eyeglasses chuckled and said, “Alright, don’t flatter me. It’s done beautifully!”
Without further ado, he directly said to Zhou Xin, “Brother, your eyesight is good. There will definitely be dangers outside the door. Look at the surrounding situation and where we are at the front door of the hospital. We need to simplify our route and fight efficiently.”
‘”Kacha…” ‘”Eyeglasses,” Zhou Xin said, pointing his left hand at the back of the door. “In this direction, a straight line is less than 3,000 meters away from the front door of the hospital. However, it’s impossible for us to walk in a straight line, but this way is also the shortest route.”
“Alright, follow them all. The old team members are in front and the new team members are behind. Hurry up and follow them.” Eyeglasses quickly ordered.
Moments later, a group of people rushed forward at top speed. The new team members looked at the outside world curiously. They were all people who hadn’t left the hospital cafeteria since the beginning of the apocalypse.
Suddenly, a black shadow came from the family, The window of the dilapidated store rushed out. He threw his glasses straight into the ground. The glasses reacted like lightning. He raised his hand and stabbed out. The black figure let out a wail. A large hole was pierced in his abdomen. He fell to the ground and twitched incessantly. Not a single drop of blood flowed out from the wound. On the contrary, it gave off an extremely unpleasant smell of burnt meat. Only then did the recruits realize that it was a cat. It was as big as a wolf dog. It was a Class 1 mutated cat.
“Puchi …!” Eyeglasses immediately took a step forward and pierced into the head of the First Grade Mutated Cat. He took out the crystal core. Eyeglasses allowed an old member to carry the cat, and everyone began to move forward again.
Eyeglasses said as he ran, “Be careful. We are already in the city. The current city is extremely dangerous. Now that the zombies have been summoned to the hospital by the Corpse King, it’s better not to be careless. There are still many mutated creatures in the city.”
Everyone didn’t say anything, but they secretly raised their vigilance. The new members also came back to their senses when they saw the captain releasing lightning energy. Seeing that everyone, even the old team members, had become cautious, they followed closely behind everyone, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
Everyone had only traveled about 1000 meters, but they didn’t kill 10 mutated beasts. Most of them were cats and dogs. Soon, they stopped in a low-rise building block on both sides.
Eyeglasses arranged, “You all go up to the house. I’ll go welcome the zombies later. After I go over, you guys will start shooting. I’ll leave Zhou Xin to you. I’ll go fetch the zombies.”
Zhou Xin nodded and said, “Go, leave this place to me.”
Eyeglasses carried a cat corpse from one of the team members’ hands and continued forward for another kilometer. Then, he used his gun to pierce two more holes in the cat corpse. This time, he did not use the power of thunder. It was just an ordinary stab, and the wound was not charred.
In an instant, the blood from the cat’s corpse slowly flowed out. The zombies still didn’t respond, When he walked another two kilometers and approached the front door of the hospital, only about 500 meters away, some zombies finally asked about the smell of blood. They instantly roared frantically and rushed towards the glasses. This roar was like a signal that attracted the attention of more than a thousand zombies from the periphery and quickly rushed towards the glasses’ team.
Eyeglasses held the cat corpse and rushed to the team’s position. In a short moment, he arrived at Zhou Xin’s ambush position. Zhou Xin and the others were at the window of the second floor of the low building. In the window, the guns of the Wind God were pointed downstairs. Eyeglasses ran wildly and threw the cat corpse in the middle of the ambush.
Without stopping, they sprinted forward and leapt to the second floor. At this moment, the corpses finally arrived. They smelled the thick smell of blood and continued to pounce towards the cat corpse’s location to snatch food.
“Shoot!” Zhou Xin and Eyeglasses said almost in unison.
“Dada … Dada!” The Wind God Assault Rifle spat out tongues of flames. Everyone was not an expert with guns, and Yifan had taught them how to shoot. However, more than a thousand zombies had packed the entire block. Even a blind man wouldn’t miss, right?
Everyone’s gaze swept wildly. In a short moment, countless people were killed and wounded in the group. Some Second Grade zombies jumped up to attack everyone. However, the moment they jumped up, Zhou Xin’s arrows would blow their heads off and fall into the group of zombies.
Soon, almost a thousand zombies fell down. There were about three or four hundred zombies below. These zombies were still jumping up desperately. The doors below were blocked. The intelligence of a first-grade zombie did not know how to go upstairs, but a slightly smarter second-grade zombie did not know how to open the door.
He also only knew how to jump, Some Second Grade zombies even began to flee. In less than five minutes, all of the zombies were lying on the ground. Of course, there were still survivors. However, they had lost their ability to move. Eyeglasses shouted loudly, “Get down here, quickly collect the crystal cores, and quickly leave. The smell of blood here is too strong, and it will attract more zombies soon.”
As he spoke, he was the first to jump down from the second floor. His spear danced wildly and stabbed into the heads of the zombies. Zhou Xin, Zhang Liang, Wang Yang, Song Yiyi, and the others quickly jumped down from them. Their main job was to repair their sabers, while the veterans quickly went downstairs to collect crystal cores and put them into their tactical bags.
As for the new members, they looked at the scene of hell downstairs. Their legs were weak and they couldn’t even walk, so there was no need to mention helping them.
A gorgeous girl was the first to overcome her fear and disgust. She also vomited and spat out all of them. She began to gather them behind the old team members. If there were any who were still alive, she used the fire axe in her hand to smash the heads of the zombies fiercely.
With the first one, there was a second one. In just a minute or two, those new players quickly came to their senses. They were all very clear about their current status. Song Yiyi looked at Chen Yan encouragingly. He was the first one to come down from Chen Yan, which made Song Yiyi feel very respectful.
There was another male student in Zhou Xin’s team who came down, but his legs were trembling. He almost got scratched by the zombie. Fortunately, Zhang Liang’s spiritual force tentacle grabbed him, and the other tentacle pierced through the zombie’s head.
Zhou Xin, who was usually so angry that he didn’t know how to speak, even cursed, “Holy shit, are you a man? You’re not even a woman. Go back and let you scram back into the ranks of the ordinary survivors. Don’t embarrass yourself for me.”
“Zhou Xin, give him a chance. He will get used to it in the future. If he dares to come down, it proves that he still has the courage to face it. It’s just that he may not be used to it. Also, don’t underestimate women.” Eyeglasses grinned as he patched his knife.
‘”There are quite a few powerful beauties in our team. For example, the one we can’t see may have already heard your words. Don’t let them think that you look down on women. Otherwise, you will be very tragic. Don’t blame me for not reminding you.”
Only then did Zhou Xin react. He immediately covered his mouth and said, “No way, they’re not that stingy, are they?”
He walked to the man whose legs were trembling and patted him on the shoulder, “Hurry up and collect them. You weren’t scared when they were alive. Now you’re scared. You said the wrong thing. Hurry up and get some work done.”
The man also felt the strength in Zhou Xin’s hand, as if he was inspired. He stopped trembling and turned around to start collecting.
Song Yiyi was the first woman to be unhappy. She patched her saber and said, “Zhou Xin, I remember. When I reach Third Grade, we should have a good spar so that you don’t underestimate our women.”
“Ai … Ai … Ai! I said, don’t be like this, can’t I admit defeat?” Zhou Xin said with some distress.
Song Yiyi smiled and said, “This is not possible. This is related to the dignity of our women. I think even if I don’t defend it, Sister Ruoxue, Sister Wanyao, Sister Fei Na will still stand up and defend it.”
Zhou Xin felt even more headache when he heard the names of these three people. He said speechlessly, “Yi Yi, please let go! I said the wrong thing, can’t I?”
Song Yiyi chuckled and did not reply.
Zhou Xin shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly. When he turned around, a green light flashed in his eyes and quickly dimmed down.
In just three to five minutes, everyone had already gathered the zombies. The zombies in the distance had already rushed over. This time, there were around 3000 zombies.
Eyeglasses glanced at them and immediately said, “Let’s retreat. We’ll run backwards first, pull some distance, and kill them when the number of corpses is less than 2,000.”
When everyone heard his words, they immediately sprinted wildly.
At the top of a building they couldn’t see, a plain-clothed man holding a telescope seemed to be watching the entire battle.
He murmured, “This Zhu Yifan’s team doesn’t seem to be very good. Forget it, it’s better to report the news to the captain and let him decide.”
A moment later, he saw that Eyeglasses and the others had disappeared. He put away his binoculars and turned to walk downstairs, revealing a tattoo on his neck that looked like a snake.
