Volume 1 Endless Wilderness Chapter 45 Triple
"Wow wow wow, hululu..."
A few days later, in a wasteland more than 700 kilometers away from Orchid Town, four or five living corpses were lying on the ground, eating a rotten and smelly animal carcass. Their faces were covered with pus and
Minced meat, bones and dregs stuck between the teeth, extremely terrifying.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Suddenly, the roar of an engine came from far away. The living corpses raised their heads one after another. The next moment, two dune vehicles dragging smoke and dust broke into their sight.
"Ta-ta-da!" "Ta-ta-da!" "Ta-ta-ta!"
As soon as they met, a barrage of bullets came over them. Before the living corpses had time to howl, they were beaten until blood dripped from their bodies and they were shaking.
In less than half a minute, they fell to the ground and died.
"Corpse transport team, come here to move the body." Aaron, who was sitting in the passenger seat, picked up the intercom and said, directing the ATV to continue searching forward.
Not long after, an old truck drove over ricketyly and parked next to the corpse. Several workers in gray canvas overalls jumped out of the truck, working in pairs, and loaded the living corpse into the truck.
"Boss, I found a crusty one in front of me."
After a while, two dune buggies stopped on a slope. Aaron pointed to a group of living corpses in a low-lying area more than 300 meters away and said.
"Hard-skinned" is the common name for "power-type mutant creature leader". This kind of creature has extremely high muscle density and has excellent resistance to blows, punctures, and cuts. It is difficult for ordinary bullets and swords to penetrate, just like skin.
It's very hard, so that's why it got the title of this image.
Chen Xing followed Aaron's instructions and looked through the binoculars. Among the corpses, there was indeed a living dead three or four meters tall with red skin. And next to it, there were about a dozen green-skinned living dead.
.
These are elite-level "poison-spraying zombies" that can spray corpse poison like high-pressure water jets. Once sprayed, even if they don't die, they will have to lie in the hospital for several months.
After observing for a while, Chen Xing handed the binoculars to Aaron, walked to the dune buggy, glanced at Xiao Yang, and pointed at the long object wrapped in a tarpaulin on the back seat of the vehicle.
The latter quickly flipped from the driver's seat to the back seat, untied the rope, lifted the tarp, took out a two-meter-long heavy firearm, and handed it to Chen Xing with both hands.
This is a mass-produced heavy-duty sniper rifle, commonly known as "Elephant Hunting". As the name suggests, it means it can kill an elephant with one shot.
Afterwards, Chen Xing lay down on the slope, stacked the gun, then pulled the bolt with a "click" sound, inserted an armor-piercing bullet nearly fifteen centimeters long, and aimed it at the head of the red living corpse.
At the same time, spiritual energy is mobilized and poured into the bullet.
"Bang!"
Amidst the dull sound, the red living corpse tilted its head and fell among the corpses, knocking over several living corpses around it. But it quickly stood up, let out a huge roar, led the corpse group, and headed towards Chen Xing.
Wait for someone to come.
"Oh my god, at least it's at the quasi-guardian level." A teammate yelled.
Unexpectedly, the sniper bullets imbued with psychic energy could not penetrate its defense. It was really terrifying.
"Rockets!" Chen Xing shouted, and Aaron and the two team members immediately came to their senses, blocked the rocket launchers with their shoulders, and blasted towards the incoming corpses.
"Fiercely..."
Three rockets trailed long tail flames and crashed into the group of corpses. Suddenly, flames shot into the sky, and the flaming severed limbs and pieces of meat were thrown around.
Chen Xing did not want to use rocket launchers unless it was absolutely necessary. On the one hand, they were expensive, with one rocket costing several gold coins; on the other hand, the burnt corpses could not be sold for money, nor could they be used as food for termites.
In a blink of an eye, they saw the crusty beast rushing out of the sea of fire and running towards them at an extremely fast speed. Although they were more than three hundred meters away, at its speed, it would reach the slope within thirty seconds.
superior.
The team members picked up their assault rifles and shot at the big living corpse that was covered in flames. Aaron pulled out the machete from behind and stared straight ahead, assuming a fighting posture.
Chen Xing hesitated for a few seconds, then reloaded an armor-piercing bullet with a "click" sound. He concentrated on gathering energy and filled it with spiritual energy. Perhaps one more shot would break through its defense.
And just when the bullet in the gun chamber became crystal clear and emitted a ripple-like blue light, the "III"-shaped rune suddenly flashed in Chen Xing's sea of consciousness.
As if blessed to the core, he instantly attached the power of the rune to the warhead.
In an instant, golden texture appeared on the originally blue bullet shell. It was as thin as silk thread, yet complex and simple, forming neat and orderly words, like Sanskrit words. It was mysterious and solemn.
"Bang!"
The moment he pulled the trigger, a very long tongue of flame shot out, a full three to two meters away. The huge recoil force directly dislocated his shoulder.
The head of a large living corpse in the distance exploded in response, and the headless corpse rushed forward several meters before falling with a crash, raising a large amount of dust.
"Well done, boss!" "Captain, that's awesome!" "Brother Xing is so powerful!" The team members were so stunned that they even forgot to shoot, and then cheered loudly. The captain was very powerful, and they could also take advantage of it.
You know, in this wilderness, strength is everything.
Chen Xing, serious about his words, pointed forward: "Kill them all!"
"yes!"
The team members responded in unison, rushed forward a few steps with high morale, half-knelt on the ground, and shot at the corpses.
After a while, the battle ended, and there were charred corpses everywhere, with unextinguished flames dancing on their bodies, and wisps of green smoke rising out of them.
"Click!"
There was only a crunching sound of bones, and Aaron broke back Chen Xing's dislocated bones. The person's face suddenly turned pale, he grimaced in pain, and his whole body shivered.
"Haha..." Aaron couldn't help laughing, and when Chen Xing glanced at him, he quickly lowered his head and scratched his bald head.
When cleaning the battlefield, Chen Xing used his black watch to scan the zombie leader.
[Living Dead 1(Leader)]
[Vitality: 0/149, dead] [Innate abilities: bite, great strength, extraordinary endurance]
[Viruses that may be carried: zombie disease]
After checking, he used a dagger to dig into the corpse's chest and took out a red crystal.
[Strength & Energy Crystal (Leader of the Living Dead), about 23 grams]
[Market price estimate: 23~24 gold coins (World Bank)]
After putting away the crystal core, he checked the battle information again.

[Your bullet caused 57 points of damage to the target, but the target's muscle strength offset most of the damage, causing only 19 points of actual damage]

Combined with the "about three times" data in the information, Chen Xing quickly understood.
The genetic spell that manifests as the "III" rune has the effect of "triple amplification". Moreover, he also felt that in addition to amplifying skills, it could also amplify individual attributes.
For example, in a short period of time, three times the muscle strength, three times the nerve reflex, or three times the cell activity.
However, after using this shot, the "III" rune in the sea of consciousness became dim, and it seemed that it could not be used again in a short period of time.
"Gun smoke in the air, Friend weeping in pain, Blood pools everywhere, It's pouring acid rain (Gun smoke in the air, Friend weeping in pain, Blood pools everywhere, It's pouring acid rain)..."
On the way back to the water station, old music came from the car radio. Chen Xing suddenly had an idea and decided to name this ability "Trio".
