At 11:30 p.m., Wu Ming finally took Li Xia and fled back to his residence in Xincheng District. The journey was extremely thrilling. You could see screaming and panicked people everywhere, and you could also see a large number of people arriving with weapons.
soldiers entered Yucheng.
Yes, these are real soldiers. It seems that the official response speed is still very fast. Thanks to the defense lines established by these armed soldiers in the streets, it is still unknown whether Wu Ming and Li Xia could escape.
Insects are born so fast that killed corpses or living people can be parasitized, and the speed at which parasitic beetles reproduce is also extremely fast. The number of bugs in several areas of Yucheng may have reached thousands.
Even more.
Of course, in addition to the bugs, there are more terrifying monster cards that have been activated. Wu Ming and Li Xia saw the huge figure over four meters tall in the flames a few streets away. It was obviously bigger than the bugs.
An existence that is countless times more powerful.
Wu Ming just took one look and knew that it was definitely not something he could deal with now. Not to mention himself, even a company of troops was not enough to kill the monster.
It wasn't until he returned to his den and locked the strong security door that Wu Ming relaxed slightly, while Li Xia fell into a state of panic and sluggishness from the beginning. It was obvious that what happened was beyond her.
The range of cognition. Seeing Li Xia sitting on the sofa with a pale face in a daze, Wu Ming did not disturb her. Instead, he took a bottle of carbonated drink with sugar from the refrigerator, opened the bottle, and placed it within Li Xia's reach.
Sugar-sweetened carbonated drinks can effectively relieve tension and fear. Wu Ming also took a bottle for himself, then walked to the window and opened the corner of the curtain to look outside.
The streets in the area where he was located were relatively quiet, but there were some people running in a hurry at the moment, and some households in the surrounding communities had already begun to pull large and small bags of things into the car, preparing to escape.
Seeing this, Wu Ming smiled faintly. How could he leave so easily at this juncture? Not to mention that the roads leading out of the city were now blocked, even the government now needed to send a large number of soldiers into the city. Maybe some major
The roads in and out of the city have been controlled by the military.
In addition, the chance of encountering danger outdoors is too high. If you encounter bugs, you are seeking death.
Wu Ming knew that it was relatively safe here at the moment. According to his memory, the community he was currently in belonged to one of several 'safe zones' in Yucheng. The real disaster area was the area where the cards fell, which were all concentrated in the old city.
. In my memory, it won’t be long before soldiers will be stationed in several major blocks nearby. It can be said that in a short period of time, it will be the safest place in the entire Yucheng.
This period of time is also the time Wu Ming has set aside for himself to awaken. Wu Ming has already received four units of vitality, which is less than expected. Moreover, Wu Ming has absorbed all four units of vitality.
The strength and speed are 80% higher than normal people.
Next, what Wu Ming has to do is to collect the vitality floating in the air in this solid house and slowly awaken. In fact, starting from tonight, the vitality in the air has reached a concentration that can be collected. According to estimates,
, one unit of vitality can be collected in one day. To awaken, at least twenty-four units of vitality are needed. In other words, Wu Ming needs to wait another twenty days.
Looking at the large amount of daily necessities stored in a separate warehouse, Wu Ming smiled faintly. Let alone twenty days, it would be okay to hold on for half a year, provided the place did not fall. But according to Wu Ming's memory, Yucheng would be gone in two months.
It will fall, but fortunately, two months is more than enough time to rely on the vitality collector to awaken.
It was already dark, but no one was sleeping in Yucheng at this moment. All the channels on the TV were temporarily switched to emergency channels to broadcast the official statement.
"We recommend that all citizens please stay at home, close the door tightly, and do not go out. Due to the terrorist incidents that occurred in the city, the military has dispatched troops to ensure everyone's safety!"
On the TV, the female anchor read the script over and over again, but this broadcast was suddenly interrupted at one o'clock in the morning, and was directly replaced by a warning in red fonts with a blue background, but the content was the same as what the female anchor said just now.
This night was destined to be sleepless. Even Wu Ming, who knew that all this would happen, couldn't sleep. He and Li Xia kept chatting about the disaster and future plans. Wu Ming wanted to tell Li Xia that he was reborn.
When he came back, he knew that all this would happen, and he also knew what the world would be like in the future.
But Wu Ming didn't say anything in the end, after all, it was too shocking, but Wu Ming decided to share his experience on how to survive in this cruel world.
In Wu Ming's view, Li Xia is not an outsider.
When she heard Wu Ming talk about vitality, awakened beings, and even cards, Li Xia did not show disbelief, but was thoughtful. After all, she had seen the terrifying insect man with her own eyes.
Naturally, Li Xia asked what Wu Ming had expected.
"How do you know this?"
Wu Ming chuckled, but shook his head and said: "It's better not to know. If you want to survive, just remember what I said. In addition, what I just told you must be kept secret, and don't tell others for the time being."
Li Xia understood Wu Ming. What he wanted to do would be impossible even if he couldn't pull nine cows back. What he didn't want to say, he wouldn't say it no matter what, so she didn't ask again.
Fortunately, she trusts Wu Ming. At least at this time, trust is the most important part. For a trustworthy person, even if the other person hides something from you, you will not doubt anything. But for a distrustful person, even if the other person hides something from you, you will not doubt anything.
Even if I tell you everything, you still think it's a lie.
For three days in a row, the two of them spent time in this three-bedroom house. There were two bedrooms for each person, and the other slightly larger bedroom was filled with daily necessities. When Li Xia saw this room for the first time
, was indeed shocked. Wu Ming was obviously prepared, but she didn't ask anything.
In three days, Wu Ming also successfully collected three units of vitality and absorbed them all.
Now Wu Ming has absorbed seven units of vitality. The effect is that he has twice the strength of a normal person. Naturally, according to the official statement of the New World, anyone can absorb the vitality free in the air.
But the effects vary from person to person. Some people can awaken in two to three months or even less, while some people take five to six months or longer. Some people even have physical problems and cannot wake up at all.
You can't wake up.
During this period of time, it can be said that intensive gunfire and even cannon fire can often be heard in Yucheng. The specific battle situation is not something Wu Ming can know. However, Wu Ming knows that he will definitely gain the upper hand in the end.
It's a bug-man. At this time, the second form of bug-man should have appeared.
The second form of bug-men will grow a strange shell on some key parts. This outer shell is extremely tough and cannot even be penetrated by ordinary bullets. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a kind of armor. In addition,
, their mouths will have a pair of sharper teeth, and their hands will have sharp bone spurs. They can be said to be an enhanced version of the first form, and their combat power is several times that of the insect-men in the first form.
Naturally it is more difficult to deal with.
In addition to this, another reason for Wu Ming to know that the situation was serious was that looking out from the window, there were already many citizens who had taken refuge outside. Some of them were hiding in the corridors, and some were setting up outside.
tent.
The power supply stopped two days ago, the sky was getting dark, and the surrounding area was slowly falling into night. When Wu Ming and Li Xia were preparing to cook a meal using the alcohol stove, they suddenly heard a frightened cry from downstairs.
Scream.
Wu Ming and Li Xia hurriedly squeezed to the window to take a look, but they saw a frightening scene. A sewer manhole cover on the street was pushed open at this time, and an insect man quickly crawled out of the sewer and pounced directly on it.
A passerby screamed in agony before he died.
In an instant, there was complete chaos downstairs. Some people who had taken refuge downstairs began to flee in all directions, while others wanted to hide in the nearby corridors. The scene was extremely chaotic.
At this time, Wu Ming and Li Xia saw a pair of twin sisters under five years old in a car on the corner downstairs. They were obviously trapped in the car, and after the insect man killed a person, he
His eyes were fixed on this car.
"No, those two children are in danger!" When Li Xia saw this, she immediately went downstairs to save people. Wu Ming knew that Li Xia had a very soft heart and a strong sense of justice. She was the type with overflowing love. When she saw
In this situation, something must be done. If you let her go, you will die. However, he hurriedly grabbed her and said: "It's useless if you go down. Can you beat that monster?"
"Then what should I do? Are you watching two children being killed by that monster? Wu Ming, you must have known that this kind of disaster would happen, right? Otherwise you wouldn't have prepared so many supplies, nor would you have prepared so many supplies a few days ago?
If you suddenly come to me, you won't be able to kill that kind of insect monster. I know you better and trust you more. There are some things you won't tell me and I won't ask. It's just different now. I know there will be someone who comes downstairs at this time.
It's very dangerous, you may die, but I can't stand by and watch at this time, I really can't do it, they are just two children!" Li Xia stared at Wu Ming, her big eyes unblinking,
There were tears streaming down his face, but Wu Ming felt a little guilty.
Two or three seconds later, Wu Ming was defeated. He seemed to have made up his mind and said: "It's better for me to go. You stay here, lock the door, and don't open the door except for me!" As he said,
Wu Ming quickly put on the armor and a baseball cap, took the Tang Dao and walked out of the room.
