Chapter 119: Targeting!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At the gathering place on Guangping Street.

About an hour later, Zhao Honglei returned to the gathering place with Lu Ming’s prey.

Placing the carca.s.s of the “Blackbird” on the ground, Zhao Honglei quickly patted his clothes with a disgusted expression, as if afraid of getting contaminated by something strange.

Obviously, he found this thing extremely ominous.

The others looked at the carca.s.s on the ground.

Faint sounds of vomiting came from the surroundings.

That was because the carca.s.s looked truly repulsive.

The custom-made heavy sniper rifle in Lu Ming’s hand could indeed deal a lethal blow to a Level 4 creature.

But it was limited to being lethal.

If the bullet from the heavy sniper rifle hit ordinary people, it would be enough to blow them up into pieces. However, when it hit the former Blackbird and the current bizarre Blackbird, it only managed to flip their skulls and directly damage their brains.

This was the fatal injury suffered by the “Blackbird”.

Half of its head had been blown away, revealing a mess of white tissues inside.

However, the part below the nose remained intact.

Because of this, this bizarre Blackbird still retained nearly half of its human-like appearance.

Due to its strong vitality, its red lips continued to move instinctively, emitting a faint “chirping” sound.

A half face.

A mouth identical to that of a human kept moving, but producing the sound of a bird’s chirping…

Not to mention others, even with Lu Ming’s psychological endurance, he could not stand the scene before him.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Meng Jie took a step forward and came to the carca.s.s of the “Blackbird”.

At this moment, Meng Jie did not have any strange reaction. Instead, she adjusted her gla.s.ses and a curious glint flashed across her eyes.

Turning to look at Lu Ming, Meng Jie said, “Can this thing be eaten? I have to study it first, but 1 think there’s a high chance that it can’t be eaten.”

As she spoke, Meng Jie called for people to move the “black bird carca.s.s” back to the laboratory.

After Meng Jie took the Blackbird’s carca.s.s away, Lu Ming cleared his throat and turned to look at Zhang Chengcheng and Wei Lan, whose faces were pale.

“Let’s change the menu for tonight, let’s not eat Blackbird meat today.”

Clearly, Lu Ming was also nauseated by this strange bird.

That night, Lu Ming ate Six-Legged Wolf Bear meat.

Despite its strange appearance, the taste of meat was quite good. After eating, drinking, and exercising, Lu Ming forgot about the bizarre bird incident.

After finis.h.i.+ng his stance exercises at night, Lu Ming washed up and went to bed. Soon, he fell asleep.

However, he did not know that hundreds of humanoid monsters had quietly a.s.sembled in Bin County.

Bin County was one of the affiliated towns of Nanxiang City.

With a small population and a less prosperous economy, it became a crucial military area due to its geographical location.

Military-controlled areas could be seen everywhere near Bin County. During the Apocalypse, most of the military personnel had left for official shelters, leaving this place abandoned.

But few people knew that although it appeared deserted on the surface, it was not entirely abandoned.

Leading hundreds of humanoid monsters was a creature with a child’s face and Gris’s body.

It stood at the forefront of the group, gazing at the seemingly deserted military control area in the distance, gently twitching its nostrils.

The faint smell of blood surged into its sensory organs.

Its formidable strength allowed it to easily distinguish between the smell of zombies and humans.

Soon, the humanoid monsters locked onto their target.

The leader of the monsters, representing the will of the Blood Flesh Mother Tree, spoke softly,

“There’s a missile launch center here and the missiles inside have been transferred to an unknown location.”

“But fortunately, there are still humans stationed at the missile launch center. Our goal this time is to capture the survivors inside, bring them back, and find the exact location of the transferred missiles.”

As soon as he finished speaking, over a hundred figures shot out and vanished into the silent night.

Soon, screams rang out.

Due to the blockage of communications, nothing was known about what happened in Bin County.

Probably in the early hours of the next day, dozens of survivors were brought to Linhai County.

Standing on the blood-colored fungus layer, the survivors had despair on their faces. Some cried, some cursed, and some begged for mercy, but none could change their fate – the outcome of fusing with the Mother Tree!

Devour, digest.

Then, absorb and plunder!

Soon, more than a dozen fruits appeared on the branches of the Blood Flesh Mother Tree. This meant that the Blood Flesh Mother Tree had already digested everything of these survivors.

There was no need for more words.

The three Level 5 humanoid monsters turned around in unison and led the team toward Nanxiang City.

The wind blew, and the branches and leaves of the Blood Flesh Mother Tree swayed.

Soft murmuring voices faintly sounded.

“Nanxiang is just a major economic city, not a major political or military city, so there are no nuclear bombs.”

“But missiles still pose a threat to me… After all, according to human memories, I am still unable to withstand multiple missile bombings.”

“If I want to absorb everything in Nanxiang, firearms are a big problem for me. Fortunately, I remembered that there was someone who knew where Nanxiang’s missile base was. The survivors just now also know where those missiles were transferred to…”

This was a very clear chain of logic.

First, they had to deal with the biggest threat. Once all the threats were eliminated, Nanxiang would be like a cake ready to be tasted by the Blood Flesh Mother Tree.

“Apart from that, there’s another interesting thing…”

“Lu Ming, Brother Lu… the strongest human.”

At the thought of this, the Blood Flesh Mother Tree swayed even more violently.

Its ability was to devour and absorb everything from its prey.

Memories, and even strength!

After devouring Gris, it could use its special ability to create an endless number of monsters with strength comparable to Gris.

Based on this inference, if it could devour Lu Ming… No, even just obtaining a sample of Lu Ming’s genes, it could infinitely replicate monsters with strength comparable to Lu Ming!

This bug-level ability made the growth path of the Blood Flesh Mother Tree exceptionally clear and precise.

Devouring everything.

Weaklings turned into nutrients.

The strong turned into warriors!

According to the memories of the survivors just now, the Blood Flesh Mother Tree learned that in their eyes, Lu Ming of Nanxiang City was an invincible existence.

So, bring it on!

Day 115 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Tuesday.

Nothing happened during the day.

That night.

A loud explosion woke up the entire Nanxiang City.

Even Lu Ming was awakened by the explosion.

Opening the window to look at the street, he realized that there was no danger at the gathering place. Everyone came out of their houses, looking at each other, not knowing where the explosion came from.

Unable to figure it out, Lu Ming went back to catch up on his sleep.

However, he did not know that Huo Sheng, who was in the official shelter, immediately broke out in sweat when he heard the huge explosion!

“Go! Hurry up and take me to Guangping Street to look for Mr. Lu!”

He was no longer his usual calm self. He anxiously shouted until the vehicle was ready. Only then did Huo Sheng regain his composure.

“Forget it, let’s go tomorrow. Don’t disturb Mr. Lu’s rest.”

With a bitter expression, he added, “After all, he is all we have now..”
