Bab 53: Chapter 52 :- Monster Horde And Black Mini Bus
A/N :- Greetings, readers! As the author, I'm excited to announce the release of over 50+ chapters. If you find the story engaging and enjoyable, I would greatly appreciate it if you could leave a review for this novel. Thank you!
.......
The circumstances are unambiguous. Qiao Manli and her group had previously identified a rescue team, which was under the leadership of Lu Yu.
This was possible because Wu Qiang had encountered Chu Feng prior to entering the secret realm, providing Lu Yu with a rough idea of Chu Feng's location.
However, after several days, it was improbable that Chu Feng would still be in the same location, making it impossible for Lu Yu to pinpoint his exact location.
Nevertheless, this was not a concern as there were other survivors in the school.
There were few student teams with combat capabilities, so by questioning a few survivors, one could gain a general understanding of the situation.
Lu Yu's team was composed of eight individuals: Lu Yu, Xue Li, Wei Jianjun, Wu Qiang, Shi Lei, Yan Yun, Li Wanning, and Shen Bin.
The team's backbone was indisputably the first four members. Lu Yu, a Bronze Elementary, stood out as the most potent member, thanks to his two pets.
Xue Li, Wei Jianjun, and Wu Qiang, all high-ranking Black Irons, constituted the team's secondary line of combat power.
Wei Jianjun, a formidable general from the protagonist's past life, was naturally the most powerful among the three.
Xue Li was a competent fighter, but he was merely an ordinary strengthener. Wu Qiang, despite his lack of combat skills, could make up for many deficiencies with his dinosaur form.
Wei Jianjun was extraordinary. His fighting ability was two grades higher than Xue Li's, and like Lu Yu, he was a double awakener.
Without the aid of treasures and abilities, Lu Yu would not be able to defeat him relying solely on his attributes. However, his awakened ability was not a natural element system.
Instead, it was skin metalization, which enhanced his melee combat ability. The higher the level, the harder the metal, and the more extensive the body area it could cover.
He currently possessed a high-level Black Iron body, but his abilities were only at the medium-level Black Iron. The only parts that could undergo metalization were his hands.
Therefore, he occasionally used his fists to attack monsters. Among the four core combat powers, he was the only one who did not use special handguards.
"Let's move!"
Lu Yu cast a glance at his teammates and cautioned, "Stay alert, everyone."
Apart from the four strongest players, the team also included Yan Yun, Shi Lei, Li Wanning, and Shen Bin. Yan Yun and Shi Lei were included due to their abilities.
Yan Yun had now pledged her full allegiance to Lu Yu. Her abilities were not limited to healing her teammates; she could also locate crystal cores.
Given her skills, it was only natural for Lu Yu to want her company during his outings.
While Shi Lei's monster slaying days were behind him, Lu Yu still found value in the unique perspective Shi Lei's eyes offered.
Lu Yu primary intention was to confront Chu Feng.
However, when Li Wanning questioned his motives for going school, he casually replied,
"I'm going there to rescue people!"
This display of selflessness from Lu Yu deeply moved Li Wanning, leading her to disregard any potential hidden intentions he might have had towards her. She chose to align herself with him, even boldly stating,
"If we come across a swarm of monsters and there's no way out, you can abandon me and save yourself."
Confronted with such a self-sacrificing woman, what could Lu Yu possibly respond? Even though he himself was not a model of moral perfection, he certainly didn't reject those who were.
As a result, Shen Bin, failing to convince Li Wanning otherwise, decided to join them as well! Both Shen Bin and Li Wanning, along with Shi Lei, arrived equipped with backpacks loaded with food and water.
Interestingly, these supplies did not originate from Lu Yu's reserves but were freely procured from a small roadside shop.
"Is that a classmate from our school?"
"My God, it's amazing!"
"Those two monsters, do they obey and listen to him?"
"It's incredible." "Hey, isn't that Teacher Li?"
"Wow, it's really Teacher Li!"
"Great, we are saved." The first dormitory building that Lu Yu came to was the female dormitory of the management department. There were a lot of survivors hiding inside.
There were boys and girls, and there were fifty to sixty people. The girls were originally in the dormitory, and the boys fled here when they passed by.
Due to the angle, they couldn't see Lu Yu and several people entering the door. When Lu Yu and his party were about to walk up to them, they discovered Lu Yu's existence.
It was a normal storyline. Lu Yu should have settled Li Wanning here, and by the way, take advantage of the break to ask these classmates what Chu Feng was doing. But sometimes, fate is so magical.
Lu Yu is the villain and Chu Feng is the protagonist. What happens when the villain of a movie, with two heroines and a villain, is about to approach the protagonist?
Anyway, nothing good has ever happened. Just like Lu Yu now.
Boom!
When Lu Yu was just about to clean up this dormitory building, a slight vibration came into everyone's eardrums.
"What's the situation?"
"What happened?"
"Earth… earthquake?"
"It's not like…" The crowd stopped and looked dazed. Even the sleeping monsters in the school woke up and rushed in the same direction
Boom!
Boom!
The vibration did not stop, and the vibration was getting stronger and stronger, and the sound was getting closer.
"Damn, what's going on?"
"Listen to the sound, it seems… it's coming from the back door?"
"I heard that too!!"
Everyone was horrified, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the back door.
Whoosh!
Outside the sturdy iron gate at the back door of the school, a dark car, the size and shape of a minibus, whizzed past.
"This is…" "Car?"
"How is this possible?"
"Damn, where did the car come from at this time?"
"What are you kidding me?"
Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded, and even Lu Yu was surprised. Because after the cosmic storm, the electrical energy on the earth had been greatly weakened.
Even the battery of a mobile phone couldn't normally provide power to humans, let alone other electrical equipment.
Car?
Not to mention electric cars, even if it is a fuel car, it is impossible to start normally. Where did this black minibus come from?
But people don't have time to think about it now. Because the thing that really makes a lot of roaring noises is not this minibus, but the back of the minibus…
"Damn, everyone run!"
Sensing that something was wrong, Lu Yu hurriedly gave a loud command.
Doomsday streets are full of abandoned vehicles. But the black minibus seemed to have a very strong material, and it was ramping up outside with full horsepower.
A large number of cars were easily knocked away by it, and soon a nice car disappeared in the corner of the street.
And at this moment, the thing that made the earth tremble quickly appeared in the sight of Lu Yu and others. It's a horde of monsters, a big swarm!
Flying in the sky, running on the ground. Various, densely packed!
Seeing so many monsters appearing at the same time, everyone could not help but feel numb.
"My goodness…"
"A lot of monsters!"
"What are you still doing?
Run…" "Student Lu Yu, where are you going?"
Li Wanning, who was about to rush to the dormitory, saw that Lu Yu was about to run deep into the school, and hurriedly asked.
At this time, shouldn't it be safer to run into the building?
"Don't go to this dormitory, you come with me!"
Lu Yu shouted "Xiao Jin, Xiao Xi, open the way ahead, hurry up…"
The school's rear iron gate is firmly shut. In an effort to secure their future, Lu Yu and a few others made their entrance through this iron door.
However, this gate is designed like a fence with large gaps in it. While it can deter humans, it is ineffective against creatures like lizardmen.
Moreover, among these creatures, there are mantises that can fly, creepers and lickers that can scale walls, and some new species that have only emerged in the past couple of days.
The loud noise that just occurred is bound to draw monsters from other areas.
This situation causes Lu Yu to feel a sense of panic. Even though he possesses the heart of a villain, he can't help but feel a wave of anxiety at this moment. This type of panic is something he hasn't experienced in the past week.
When Li Wanning asks him a question, he doesn't have the time to provide an explanation. He quickly instructs Xiao Jin to lead the way.
Seeing this, the others don't have time to ponder and swiftly follow Lu Yu's lead.
Outside the school gate, on a street littered with car wrecks, the black minibus vanishes. Of the horde of monsters, only a few manage to pursue the Mini bus. The rest, unable to keep up, gradually slow down and stop.
As a result, a large number of monsters are left outside the school. Some of these monsters feast on the corpses of those that Lu Yu had previously slain.
Most of the monsters begin to aimlessly wander.
If one were to view from above, the number of these monsters left at the school gate is absolutely staggering, numbering in the thousands. As Lu Yu and the others evacuate, some of the lizardmen manage to sneak in through the gap in the school's iron gate.
There are also some creepers and lickers who have leaped to the top of the walls on either side of the school gate. Some mantises also manage to fly in.
Without warning, a deafening explosion reverberates through the air. A colossal beast smashes a gaping hole in the school's robust concrete wall. In a flash, an army of monsters floods into the school through the enormous breach.
As their numbers swell, the hole expands further. A horde of lickers, creepers, lizardmen, mantises, along with some toxic zombies, giant zombies, and a pair of terrestrial dragons, all storm in.
Wu Qiang, who was in pursuit of Lu Yu and glancing back at the school gate, can't help but swear upon witnessing this spectacle. He holds the car driver responsible for drawing such a multitude of monsters.
It's important to note the presence of creatures known as creepers and lickers. Currently, these beings are in their nascent stages, existing in two distinct forms.
They have reached the advanced black iron stage but have not fully evolved into authentic creepers and lickers.
Despite their developmental stage, they pose a substantial threat to human beings.
Toxic zombies represent another category of zombies characterized by their significantly enlarged stomachs compared to regular zombies.
These enlarged stomachs are filled with a corrosive substance akin to mucus.
Although these zombies are not at a high level, their movement speed is slow, and their defense mechanisms are weak.
However, upon their death, toxic zombies explode, causing a spray of corrosive slime to cover the surrounding area.
This slime is not only disgusting but also highly corrosive, causing severe skin damage or even death to anything that comes into contact with it.
Giant zombies are another variant of zombies. They typically evolve from humans who were tall and robust in their previous life. These creatures are high-level beings, with the lowest being at the Bronze Elementary Stage.
They stand at a minimum height of 2.5 meters. While their speed may not be impressive, they possess immense strength.
As for the dinosaur-like creature, it is not a species from the Jurassic era, nor is it a terrestrial dragon. Instead, it bears a resemblance to the Triceratops, as depicted in the movie that Lu Yu watched.
Similar to lizards and mantises, they are monstrous beings from another dimension, and it can be inferred that they carry a trace of dragon blood in their veins.
Despite the minuscule amount of this dragon bloodline, it endows them with considerable power.
The colossal creature that managed to shatter the concrete wall is one such terrestrial dragon that has advanced to the bronze high level.
Wu Qiang couldn't help but curse,
"Damn it!
We just finished clearing the monsters on that street, and this idiot…" Xue Li, who was in the midst of running, attempted to say something but was cut off by Lu Yu raising his hand. Lu Yu then instructed Jianjun, "Go to Xiao Jin's left."
"Alright!"
Jianjun responds.
"Shi Lei, Shen Bin, give me some of your packages." Lu Yu requests.
"Okay,
alright!"
They respond.
"Hurry up,
catch!"
Lu Yu urges.
"Boss, where are we going?" Someone asks.
"We're heading to Guiwanlou (A girls' dormitory on the top of the mountain)!" Lu Yu responds.
"Ah?
Why?" Someone else asks.
"Why do you think?"
Lu Yu shouts angrily. "There are so many monsters coming in from outside, the closer you get to the school gate, the faster you die!"
Hearing Lu Yu's words, everyone is stunned for a moment, then shocked. Li Wanning, in particular, is in a complicated mood.
She subconsciously looks at the girls' dormitory that was closest to the school gate just now. There are fifty or sixty survivors there. The feeling of wanting to save others but being unable to do so is indescribable.
Despite the majority of the monsters remaining outside the school's boundaries, the influx of monsters entering through the gap created by the terrestrial dragon is alarmingly high.
This overwhelming horde of monsters is not something that can be handled by a handful of awakened individuals.
It's a far cry from dealing with the isolated monsters they've encountered before.
In this critical situation, Lu Yu has no time for secrecy. Li Wanning and two others handed their bags to Lu Yu, who promptly stored them in his storage ring. This ring functions as a singular space, capable of holding countless items without adding any weight to Lu Yu.
Previously, the ring was filled with cooked food from the restaurant, as well as frozen and fresh food from the refrigerator.
Once the cooked food was consumed, it freed up a significant amount of space inside the ring. Additionally, two women in the team, Dong Ying and Li Hong, have culinary skills.
Therefore, Lu Yu provided two gas tanks and allowed them to cook daily using a small kitchen stove in the restaurant. The quick-frozen fresh products are almost depleted.
Now, apart from the weapons of a few people and the bags of food and drinking water prepared before venturing out, packing three mountaineering bags into the ring is not an issue.
The functionality of Lu Yu's ring is known only to a select few. Apart from Yan Yun, Ding Feng, and Wu Qiang who had previously entered the secret realm together, only core members like Xue Li and Shi Lei are aware of it.
New team members like Li Wanning, Shen Bin, and Wei Jianjun are not particularly familiar with it.
Upon witnessing Lu Yu storing the mountaineering bags within a ring, they became aware of the ring's function. However, there's no time to dwell on this revelation at the moment.
The commotion at the school's back door has drawn the attention of monsters from other parts of the school.
They began to gravitate towards the campus gate, moving at varying speeds. Some monsters en route, upon spotting Lu Yu and his companions, started to intercept them.
"Quickly, veer left and run along the wall!"
Lu Yu commands. "Stay together!
Keep pace!" He insists.
"I'm lagging behind!" A voice cries out.
"Speed up!" Lu Yu prompts once more.
Suddenly, a deafening crash echoes throughout the vicinity. Xiao Jin, acting swiftly and decisively, turns a male teacher into a zombie.
Without a moment's delay, he leads Xiao Xi towards the location designated by Lu Yu, with the rest of the group following suit.
Two monstrous entities lead the charge. Wei Jianjun assumes a position on the left wing, while Lu Yu covers the right. Wu Qiang and Xue Li trail behind, with the rest of the group forming a tight-knit formation in the center.
This strategic arrangement is akin to a sharply crafted blade, fearlessly penetrating the core of the school.
As for the possibility of uncovering black iron nuclei within the defeated high-level monsters?
In the midst of such pandemonium and urgency, who has the luxury of time to search for them?
Survival is the immediate priority, and every tick of the clock is crucial.
The matter of gathering potential rewards is a privilege that can only be contemplated once safety is assured.
