Data Wasteland

~: The 841st Festival

A few days later...

To the east of Hongyan Volcano, mountain forest.

In the space hundreds of thousands of meters above the ground, a satellite is quietly suspended, and the lenses all over the sphere are constantly expanding and contracting, observing the situation on the ground.

When viewed from space, this red mountain range is particularly conspicuous. The surrounding terrain is flat and vegetation is sparse, making it easy to identify.

There is a small piece of white on the top of the mountain, which is snow and ice that has accumulated for many years, and the red rocky mountain is down, and at the foot of the mountain is a ring of lush forest.

The red rock volcano has not erupted for hundreds of years, but the underground lava is still active, and the hot spring water of Shin-Edo is drawn from here.

Thanks to the rich nutrients of volcanic ash and the melting snow from the top of the mountain, the vegetation at the foot of the mountain grows vigorously, including birch, spruce, larch, and various ferns.

"Wow..."

A low voice came from the hillside, and several shaky figures appeared on the edge of the forest.

They have pale skin and hollow eyes, like walking human corpses. They are the most common mutant creatures in the red earth world-the living dead.

The number of living dead is extremely large. They are mutated by bacteria from living corpses invading the corpses of humanoid creatures. They are produced by the corpses of the 50 billion people before the catastrophe, and sometimes by the corpses brought by the undercurrent. According to the inaccurate statistics of Baita scholars, the number of living dead all over the world is as high as 700 billion, almost inexhaustible.

These few living dead seemed to smell the smell of living things floating at the foot of the mountain, crawling out of the mud, and descending to find food.

"call out!"

Suddenly there was a sound of breaking through the air in the woods, a living corpse seemed to be concentrated by something, a cloud of blood exploded on its head, and its head tilted to one side.

"Hala!"

Immediately afterwards, a dozen green mobs sprang from the bushes, holding crude sticks and rusty kitchen knives, and screaming towards the living corpse.

Some of them are riding wolves, some wearing red cloaks, and some holding short spears, throwing them while running.

The scene of the encounter between the two sides was very chaotic. The living corpse was biting the little green monster, and the little green monster was hitting the living corpse's head with a stick and kitchen knife. After a fierce battle, the little green monster who had the advantage in number won the final victory.

But they also paid half the price, and the remaining half dragged the corpse into the depths of the woods.

After more than ten minutes, they dragged the corpse to an underground cave.

On the outside, this cave looks like an ordinary burrow, a nest for certain small and medium-sized creatures.

But in fact, it was a huge underground fortification, with torches stuck in the cave wall, and thousands of little green monsters digging inside.

The corpses were dragged to a storage room and piled up. Judging from the light of this torch, the corpses were piled up into mountains, densely packed, and people's scalp was numb.

Above the underground fortifications, a hammock hung between two spruces.

There was a man lying on the hammock, swiping around with a portable screen in his hand, and a teacup on the rough-worked table beside the bed, which he could get at his fingertips.

"Chi Chi Chi..."

Not far from the hammock, a calf-sized insect was lying on the ground and eating. Its food is a living corpse, the upper body has been eaten, and the waist and two legs are left.

It ate happily, and from time to time it turned its head and made an affectionate cry at the man on the hammock.

If a passing adventurer sees such a picture, it is estimated that they will be frightened.

This seemingly laid-back man was Chen Xing who came here three days ago. While directing the goblins to dig underground fortifications, he used tactical satellites to observe the surrounding situation and commanded the goblin team to hunt for living corpses.

The insect creature that is eating is a nesting queen ant. In order for the other party to gain a foothold here as soon as possible, Chen Xing simply helped her dig the hole and prepare the food, so that she could go through the most difficult period of development.

This will be the new territory of the Hundred Nest Queen. When the nest queen ants grows up and lights the spirit fire, Suna can use the shape-shifting shadow to move at will.

.

After the game is set, Chen Xing intends to take Suna with her, so she can move to another place at any time. Although not as good as Ramsden's space gate, it is also a hundred times better than an airplane.

He has already thought about it. In the future, he will find a small island with suitable latitude and longitude and a climate similar to Hawaii, build his holiday palace on the island, and ask Suna to send him back for vacation if nothing happens.

There are groups of maids on this island, and there can only be a man with him, beautiful women on the sunny beach every day, enjoying the most erosive life.

Of course, there is still a long time before this day, at least first stabilize your position, otherwise everything is just a castle in the sky, dreamy.

"The king of corpses, my little king of corpses, where are you..."

Chen Xing scratched the map casually, looking for the "big guy".

In these three days, he had sent all the living corpses that could be found within a radius of ten kilometers into the storage room, which contained more than a dozen guard-level iron corpses, poisonous corpses, and other mutant creatures.

But he hopes to find a few lord-level ones, because after the mutant queen has grown to a certain level, it needs to be swallowed by more levels to ignite the spirit fire.

For mutant creatures that use crystal nuclei as the carrier of psychic energy, lighting a spiritual fire is a symbol of the evolution from non-intelligent creatures to intelligent creatures, and its significance is like reborn.

While gaining wisdom, their use of psychic energy will also rise to a higher level, opening up more species inheritance skills.

Strictly speaking, the nesting queen who ignites the spirit fire is the Hundred Nest Queen, but according to the community system of the termite species, each ant colony can only have one Hundred Nest Queen at the same time, unless the queen dies or is promoted. To a higher level.

"Woo Gaga, Woo Gaga!"

"Guru Guru Tower, Guru Guru Tower!"

A noisy voice suddenly sounded in my mind. "Wu Jia Jia" is a "good-looking opposite sex" in Goblin, but the Goblin language is simple and often one word has many meanings.

For example, Wu Jiajia here means "find the target".

Because Wu Jiajia is followed by "Guru Guru Tower".

Guru Guru Tower means "I want your head". In the eyes of goblins, Wujiajia is a tool for procreation. It is impossible to take the other's head, so the meaning here is, "If we find the big guy, we want its head."

Chen Xing mobilized the tactical satellite and focused on the position of the goblin team.

Although tactical satellites can observe plants and trees within a range of ten kilometers in diameter, just like watching a real-time map, one's eyes must be focused on one point to see specific things clearly.

Goblins have their own consciousness, and ordinary living corpses will deal with them on their own. Only if they can't deal with them, or if the situation is special, they will notify the host.

A huge figure appeared on the satellite image, more than forty meters high, walking slowly between the peaks, like a small high-rise building moving.

"Good fellow, King Corpse!"

Chen Xing came to the spirit and turned down from the hammock.

"You hide below and wait for me to come back."

Chen Xing gave orders to the little ant queen, who immediately raised the sickle and called twice, then turned her awkward body, and ran into the hole.

After a while, Chen Xing appeared on a rocky hillside covered with lava streams.

The huge corpse king was moving slowly five hundred meters away.

This corpse king is different from the corpse king that has been seen in the northern wilderness. His body is black, his eyes overflowing with fire, and blue smoke comes out of his body.

This is a lava corpse, usually hidden in the flowing molten iron, the more lava absorbed, the larger the body.

But for a living corpse, the best meal is a living thing. It is estimated that this lava corpse king smelled the scent of a living goblin and ran out to hunt for food.

"Try new skills."

Chen Xing muttered, instead of rushing to take the gun, he looked towards the sky.

With his thoughts, the tactical satellites in space turned on on each side.

Through the slits, two circular flywheels are pushed out from the inside.

The edge of the flywheel has a sawtooth shape, which is very similar to the sawtooth on a cutting machine.

"bass!"

The flywheel spins at high speed, like a wood sawing machine, and then bangs and ejects.

A few seconds later, two cold lights flashed in the sky, and then turned into two fire lights, which were high-temperature flames produced by friction when passing through the atmosphere.

"Huh!"

The flywheel, one left and the other, whirled down in an arc, slashing towards the corpse king.

The corpse king seemed to perceive the attack and slowly turned his body, but its reaction took a half a beat. The flywheel had reached its body and stuck on its chest.

"Stab!"

The flywheel was spinning at high speed, the saw teeth were red, and the giant's chest sprayed out two black ash.

The tough skin was cut open, and hot lava was ejected.

However, as time went by, the speed of the flywheel's rotation became slower and slower, and finally it lost its strength, fell to the ground, and disappeared into star sand.

"The power is average..."

"I don't know if I can add some motivation."

Chen Xing groaned and started the second outer flywheel.

"Psionic infusion!"

He meditated in his heart, throwing his consciousness into space.

The tactical satellite pushed out a new flywheel and started to accelerate.

Chen Xing concentrated his energy, and a layer of flowing blue light appeared on the surface of the flywheel. When the speed of rotation reached the fastest, the flywheel ejected out with a jerk.

A few seconds later, two starbursts flashed across the sky, followed by two arcs across the sky.

"Huh!"

The flywheel was spinning, blooming with blue light, and the momentum was more than twice as strong as before.

But this time the corpse king had already prepared, crossed his arms and resisted.

"go with!"

The flywheel pierced left and right on the arm of the corpse king, the saw blade whirled, and sparks sputtered.

"Wow!"

The saw teeth were chipped into the bone inch by inch, and the corpse king let out a huge wailing, frightened the birds and the beasts to flee in the forest.

Hot lava ejected from the veins, burning the flywheel red. After a few seconds, the speed of the flywheel's rotation gradually slowed down, and finally got stuck in the bones.

Lava Corpse King is a lord-level mutant creature. Its body has been completely silicified, and its body strength is essentially different from carbon-based life.

In the element table, silicon is denser and stronger than carbon.

"The power has increased a lot, but it is still a bit difficult to deal with the Lava Corpse King." Chen Xing said to himself. He estimated that at least three to four flywheel attacks could completely disintegrate the opponent's defenses, so he decided to further try to increase the power of the flywheel.

After the second attack, King Corpse noticed Chen Xing's position and rushed forward.

"Nine trot!"

The flywheel shines with the dazzling light of a star, emerges from the satellite, and flies directly to the ground like a meteor in the sky.

However, just after the flywheel penetrated the atmosphere, the flywheel suddenly faltered and lost its momentum to sweep the world.

The flywheel hit the corpse king again, but the power this time was about the same as the last time with the added psionic power, and was blocked by the corpse king at the cost of half of his arm.

Blessing failed?

Obviously felt that the ensemble was successful, but suddenly lost his kinetic energy.

Chen Xing recalled the details carefully and found the problem.

The duration of the ninet was only ten seconds. The flywheel successfully blessed the ninet when it was launched on the satellite, but because it was too far from the ground, ten seconds had passed when it passed through the atmosphere, and the blessing power disappeared.

"The power is still limited..."

Chen Xing sighed and beckoned slightly, the burning warship pulled out from behind, knocking the corpse king into half.
