Chapter 1232: Take A Detour

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Kong Qingming told his people to drive back, and also to report to Wu Chengyue about what they found. To go through the area, they had to remove those creatures first. However, there was a massive herd of them occupying a long section of the road, and they were actually rather strong.

Kong Qingming controlled the surrounding plants and tied up those creatures with veins and branches. It was hard to kill them though. He was able to crush the bones of the relatively small ones, but the larger ones soon escaped.

The creatures caught by Kong Qingming’s plants screamed shrilly, their voices highly unpleasant to hear.

The other people didn’t use their superpowers. Instead, they leaped onto high places for a wide view and each took out a strange gun. They had only one of those guns each. The bullets in those guns were customized, containing catmint juice.

“This newly invented gun will work more or less, right? Even though it’s not yet the finished version,” Liu Jing raised the gun and aimed at the middle of a creature’s flower face before pulling the trigger.

Puff! Liu Jing was good at shooting. He was able to hit the target from two-hundred meters away.

The creature’s flower head was as large as a water tank. The bullet flew into its mouth, and the creature immediately let out a deafening scream. After that, it froze and fell.

It didn’t die instantly though. By the time the catmint juice inside the bullet all flowed into its body, its body suddenly exploded.

Boom! The creature was blown into pieces.

“Hey! It worked!” Liu Jing shouted excitedly.

He heard that even grenades would fail in those creatures’ mouths. Through observation, scientists found it was because of their self-protection system. When a bomb was thrown into their mouth, their body would sense the danger and react automatically, releasing their energy to deactivate it. They were also able to spit out the bullets that were shot into their mouths.

Recently, Sea City Base developed a few guns. The fluid inside the bullets would be injected into the target’s body once the target was hit and paralyze it. After the injection, the mini bomb in the bullet would detonate.

In fact, those few guns were only half-finished products developed in a flurry. Only about ten of them were produced as the first batch, only for the people who left the base for Huaxia Base this time.

When the flower-head creature exploded, the other flower-head creatures near it all moved away from it, seemingly avoiding its blood and flesh.

Kong Qingming was controlling a massive number of plants. It was quite energy-consuming, but he wasn’t able to kill many flower-head creatures. He thought for a moment, then tied up some flower-head creatures with his plants and took out a catmint gun before shooting those creatures which were disabled from moving. Every single bullet from his gun hit a flower-head creature in the mouth.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Squeeeek!

All the flower-head creatures hit by the bullets exploded. The other creatures were avoiding the dead bodies of the dead ones, but didn’t stop charging at Kong Qingming and his people.

Meanwhile, Huang Shou drove back to the others. On the way, he reported to Wu Chengyue through the interphone, “Chief, there are a bunch of strange creatures jamming the road five miles in the front. At least a thousand of them are gathering here. We can’t get through the area now.”

Xiao Licheng pulled over and asked, “What are they like?”

“Eh… Their heads look like flowers, and their bodies are flat. They have short limbs, no tails. They are around a meter and twenty centimeters wide, three to eight meters long. They don’t look like any creature on the earth’s surface,” said Huang Shou.

Those flower-head creatures looked definitely not like anything from the earth’s surface. They were also ridiculously huge. They should be from the underground, like the ones that the base leaders were talking about a lot lately.

Xiao Licheng ended the conversation with Huang Shou, then turned and said to Wu Chengyue, “A herd of underground creatures have blocked the road five miles in the front. It’ll take us some time to clean them out. Should we take a detour?”

There was a massive number of those creatures. To clear the road, they needed to kill all of them. It would be troublesome, because those creatures were not easy to kill.

“How long will it take us to take a detour from here?” Wu Chengyue asked him.

Xiao Licheng checked at the map and said, “About an hour, if the road condition is good. If there are obstacles, we might need to spend about two hours.”

After the apocalypse, almost all the roads were jammed by abandoned vehicles. Except for the roads which had already been cleared, there were obstacles on almost every road.

Wu Chengyue glanced at Wu Yueling, then said to Xiao Licheng, “Tell Qingming and the others to come back.”

They were going to take a detour.

Xiao Licheng nodded, then said to Huang Shou through the interphone, “Tell your boss to come back. We’re going to take a detour.”

“Yes, sir,” Huang Shou responded, then turned the car around.

With curiosity, Xiao Licheng said, “I think they’ve used the catmint guns. I wonder if those guns worked.”

Wu Chengyue smiled and responded with, “You can ask them about that when they get back.”

“They’re a few miles away from us,” Xiao Licheng said, “I wonder if those creatures are fast or not. It would be troublesome if they followed us.”

“If they follow us, I’ll kill them all,” said Wu Chengyue.

Xiao Licheng turned and glanced at him as he said, “Why are we taking a detour then? Why don’t you just go over there now and kill them all?”

Wu Chengyue looked at him with a smile and said, “I don’t want Ling Ling to see those things. Based on your description, they are really ugly. What if they scared Ling Ling?”

He didn’t want to leave Ling Ling in the car. Among the other people, Xiao Licheng and Kong Qingming were the strongest. But, they were only at level-six. He didn’t trust them with her safety.

Wu Yueling heard him mention her name, so she turned and looked at her father, then started thinking about the monster that the adults talked about earlier. She didn’t understand what exactly it was, but she felt them to be scary.

She didn’t show her fear to Wu Chengyue though, and only kept stroking the rabbit.

Before long, Kong Qingming and his people returned.

“How did the new guns work?” While turning the car around, Xiao Licheng asked Kong Qingming through the interphone.

“Not bad! The explosion happens less than three seconds after the shooting. The shooting range is a little short though. It won’t work if the target is over three hundred meters away,” Kong Qingming said.

“Are you sure they are from the underground?” Xiao Licheng asked another question.

“Yes. We can’t pass even if we kill them all, because the road in the front is broken. The earth cracked, so vehicles can’t get through. We have to take a detour,” said Kong Qingming.

“I guess we have no choice then,” Xiao Licheng sighed.
