Chapter 729: Berserking Monster Swarm
A second later, Gao Yang opened his hands and activated Gamer.
Instantly, countless white sacred strands shot out of his ten fingers, flying toward the ruins nearby and found the body parts of Nainai and Zhang Wei, quickly restoring them and creating two light cacoons.
Two seconds before the danger hit, Gao Yang had taken a series of actions.
He shouted, “Danger”, pushed Endurance to the limit with Willful Power, took out the Black Gold hairpins in his pocket, and ran toward the two people nearest to him, Nainai and Zhang Wei, to shove the hairpins into their clothes.
After less than thirty seconds, Gao Yang brought Nainai and Zhang Wei back. They lay unconscious amid the ruins.
Time Reset took a lot of energy.
Gao Yang pushed his six senses to the limit and soon found a seriously damaged medicine box. He teleported over and opened the box to find most of the syringes broken. Only three shots of Medicine C and one specialized adrenaline shot remained intact.
Gao Yang conjured a double and had the double teleport to the only other survivor, Herb Snail, injecting the body that had lost one-third of its parts with Medicine C—whether he could survive would be up to fate.
The real Gao Yang injected himself with the adrenaline shot, forcefully awakening his exhausted energy.
A system warning sounded then.
[Luck acquisition rate increases to 10000 times.]
Gao Yang spat out a mouthful of blood, hit by Heartstealer. Two seconds later, he went translucent before vanishing.
He had swapped his main body and his double.
At the same time, a powerful soundwave hit him. Gao Yang picked up the dying Herb Snail from the ground and teleported away.
Above him, Zero Hatred and the combined being of Flower Turtle, Six Rime, and Xiao Xin hovered. Xiao Xin continued to release freezing poisonous gas, while Yan Liang, Core East, and Nagging Mister made a slow landing upon what remained of the Starcatching Pavilion.
The poisonous gas permeated the air. Gao Yang felt a sharp burning pain across his skin, while paradoxically, the waves of chilling coldness quickly deprived his body of warmth.
He held his breath and drew his energy to resist the poison and cold.
“Gao Yang.” Yan Liang, wearing a mask, looked at the young man from ten meters away. “You really are hard to kill. Just like...”
He raised his hands at Gao Yang. “A cockroach.”
...
Lithe Snake and Gray Bear rushed toward the Starcatching Pavilion at full speed. Lithe Snake jumped between rooftops and walls. Occasionally, awakened elite monsters would break out of the windows. Lithe Snake moved swiftly and took each of them out with a lethal stab, giving them almost no time to react.
Gray Bear ran along the road, encountering several slaughterers too.
“Piss off!”
Gray Bear no longer saw them as threats. He instantly turned into a three-meter giant bear and knocked the slaughterers out of his way. They slammed into walls and attempted to catch up with him after landing, but Lithe Snake’s throwing knives stabbed through their eyes with precision.
They fought and ran at the same time. Then suddenly, they came to a halt.
At some point, a purple mist had permeated the streets. Gray Bear and Lithe Snake sensed a prickling pain from their skin. Then a chill crept up to them and burrowed into their bodies in strands to target their internal organs.
“What the hell is that?” Gray Bear crushed a slaughterer’s skull with a stomp and growled.
“Breathe as little as you can!” Lithe Snake jumped onto a telephone pole and threw a knife, stabbing a freerider on a rooftop in the throat.
He didn’t feel optimistic. The explosion had come out of nowhere. It would be unlikely for even their Captain, Gao Yang, to survive the sudden attack, let alone the others.
He could only hope that Little Tian had bought a couple of seconds for everyone with Sensory, which could make a difference.
—Don’t you die so easily, boss!
Lithe Snake jumped off the telephone pole, stepping on the shoulders of a slaughterer about to ambush Gray Bear, piercing through the top of its head with a sharp dagger.
Lithe Snake rolled to a stand and continued to rush forward with Gray Bear.
Something caught their eyes then. Standing amid the poisonous mist was a summoner. Like a werewolf, it opened its large maw filled with red fangs and howled.
Gray Bear cursed under his breath. Fuck, just what we don’t want.
Bam, bam, bam—
Clang, clang, clang—
Three seconds later, all the wanderers residing in the buildings lining the road went berserk, transforming into monsters of different forms and levels of power. They jumped through the windows.
Some of them were old, their transformation incomplete due to their frailness and maintaining parts of their human features, and weakened by the poisonous mist, they fell to their deaths from the tall buildings, meeting a laughable and pitiful end.
The majority were young, strong monsters though, and they quickly rose to their feet after landing, swarming toward Lithe Snake and Gray Bear like bloodthirsty zombies in a frenzy, without the mental capacity to feel fear.
Gray Bear pointed forward, indicating for Lithe Snake to stay behind him.
He growled, charging into the swarm of monsters like the head of a train.
As he hurtled through the dense swarm, monster after monster got thrown into the sky before falling. It looked as if a scissor had cut through the middle of a piece of black cloth.
Using Gray Bear’s back as a springboard, Lithe Snake calculated the distance and leaped onto the eaves of a building, running on the walls. Then with a swift jump, he descended upon the summoner.
Swoosh.
A fierce slash. Then Lithe Snake landed behind the summoner. Two seconds later, the summoner’s head fell to the ground. Its blood splattered like a shower.
Covered in blood, Lithe Snake drew the two shortswords from his waist and went on a killing spree through the berserking monsters like a bloodthirsty spinning top.
They fought as they advanced, already losing count of the number of monsters they had killed. Yet more monsters continued to rush to the street.
They both knew that they must shake the berserking monsters. Otherwise, they would exhaust themselves before they even reached the Starcatching Pavilion.
Lithe Snake soon came up with an idea. He shouted, “Bombs! Bus!”
Gray Bear’s eyes lit up. He caught on immediately as a long-time comrade of Lithe Snake’s.
