Chapter 176 Most bosses have more than one life(1/2)
The huge spherical creature lay on the ground, motionless, and even the tentacles that were previously full of power no longer twitched, like dead vines. The surface of the zombie lord was covered with red blood clots. You can see that the inside of its body was filled with fluid, which was secreted by broken organs and cells, and it had a toxic effect on itself. The secretion of these liquids increased the damage of venom to it to some extent.
The most deadly tentacle had fallen off its body, just like a gecko's tail was broken. But even though the most deadly weapon had been removed, Cao Nian and others still did not dare to approach the meat ball easily.
"We seem to have successfully killed this guy!" Xu Nuo came to Cao Nian's side, expressing his joy.
Cao Nian just nodded casually, and he said to Fang Heng: "There should be explosive in your space pocket, right?"
Fang Heng took out a pack of explosives from his pocket and threw it to Cao Nian: "Are you going to blow up this thing?"
Cao Nian said: "Well, I always feel worried if I don't destroy it completely."
After completing the knockdown of the enemy, it is a taboo to not finish the attack. Cao Nian was almost turned over in the crazy revenge drama during his lifetime. Although he finally killed the other party, he paid the price of three ribs and two teeth. Since then, Cao Nian has developed the habit of cutting off the roots and not leaving any troubles. Without killing the other party, he would never say a word of nonsense, nor would he waste a second of time.
c4 explosives need to be detonated with detonators, so after Cao Nian stuffed the bomb into the rotten meat block, they quickly retreated for more than ten meters and hid behind the Hou platform. Fang Heng handed the detonator to Cao Nian, who pressed the red detonation button without hesitation. With a loud bang, the entire underground space shook violently, and the stones fell from Cao Nian and the others' heads. Several pillars supporting the underground space made a crackling sound that could not bear the weight, as if they would collapse at any time.
After the storm caused by the explosion stopped, Cao Nian and the others jumped onto the platform and looked at the steel throne again. However, this time, the explosion's shock wave washed the entire space and blew away the smoke that was used to confuse the public. In the light of the lighting rod, Cao Nian and the others could clearly see that the steel throne had been split in the explosion, and the train's compartment was blown out of recognition by the shock wave, and the huge meat ball that was originally lying in the throne was also pressed under the compartment and gravel. Through the gap between the compartment, the completely cracked body could be seen, like a bug that was pinched, with blood and liquid sprinkled everywhere, mixed with the black mud on the ground. The entire underground space was like a blood donation purgatory, and the former monarch had become a victim of the new era.
Even at Cao Nian and the others, there was very sticky blood. Perhaps because of feeling the death of the lord, ordinary zombies fled in scattered, trying to find a way out of the underground space.
This is the real end now!
Cao Nian felt relieved.
What they are doing now declares the end of a barbaric rule. However, the era of human beings has not yet arrived. At least before the antidote comes into play, the world still belongs to zombies. There are still millions of zombies in this world, and there are hundreds or thousands of intermediate lords, and even high-level lords. Cao Nian and others cannot imagine the power of the high-level lords, because even if they devour Zhang Yang's blood, this lord-level monster is only a "mutated intermediate lord" rather than a "high-level lord" in the judgment of the source. As for the so-called "high-level lords", it is probably a monster that needs to be dispatched to deal with. Does humans still have the ability to form an army? Cao Nian has doubts about this.
"Wait - this guy's hot signal has not disappeared yet!" Fang Heng suddenly widened his eyes in horror, and he quickly took out another c4 explosive from his pocket.
According to their naked eyes, this creature was undoubtedly dead because it had been opened by the bomb. How could there be a heat signal in this case? Cao Nian had doubts about Fang Heng's words for the first time, and he even felt that it might be that the No. 2 aircraft had a malfunction. However, when Cao Nian and Xu Nuo were stunned, Fang Heng had already arrived at the ruins of the throne and threw down the C4 explosive in his hand! No matter what is emitting heat now, Fang Heng would destroy it! Never give it a chance to breathe. Fang Heng held the detonator in his hand and was about to press it. Of course, before this, they still needed to retreat to a safe distance, otherwise the bomb's shock wave could even kill them directly.
But at this moment—
Under the witness of everyone, the ruins of the Iron Throne, which was like a tomb, had earth-shaking changes. The gravel and the carriage cracked, like a volcano erupting, and huge stones rushed upwards, while a carriage rolled upwards, like a log rolling down the hillside.
The buried creature is coming out!
There is no time left! Fang Heng did not retreat, but directly pressed the detonator in his hand. However, the detonator triggered a detonator explosion and then detonated the c4 explosive. This process was delayed by one or two seconds. Generally, one or two seconds could be ignored, but now in the blink of an eye, a figure rushed out of the "grave" and came to Fang Heng.
The explosion still happened!
The shock wave swept across. Without any cover, Fang Heng had almost no chance of survival because he was only less than ten meters away from the center of the explosion. But the giant was like a shield wall, motionless in the violent explosion! It stood in front of Fang Heng, looking down at Fang Heng, and Fang Heng also raised his head and looked at it with a calm gaze.
A human, a zombie, looked at each other in the light generated by the explosion.
The blazing flames and the fragments flying at high speed were all blocked by the zombie's huge body. Fang Heng avoided the fatal damage of the bomb thanks to the zombie's "help", but the shock wave still made him almost kneel to the ground.
This zombie obviously did not do such a move to protect Fang Heng.
Its purpose is revenge.
"You still succeeded?" Fang Heng said in a contemptuous tone.
"Roar—" The zombie's thick arms stretched towards Fang Heng.
On the other side, the entire underground space once again shook the mountain during the explosion of C4 explosive. The strong shock wave directly knocked Cao Nian and Xu Nuo away, and both fell below the Hou platform, which was where they were before! The air wave blew them away for nearly ten meters, and this powerful force was no less than a storm.
After this flying and falling, Cao Nian felt extremely painful all over. His chest seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, and his back was hit by a hard rail. Fortunately, it was just his back. If his head hit the ground, even if he didn't die, he would have a concussion. Cao Nian subconsciously shouted "Xu Nuo", but without a response, and a palpitation suddenly surged in his heart. His mental power swept around him, and he found Xu Nuo's figure, but she didn't move at all. Cao Nian groped and found Xu Nuo was already unconscious. He picked her up, but his hand touched some wet things on the back of her head.
It's blood! Cao Nian was so scared that he quickly tried Xu Nuo's breathing. Fortunately, although it was weak, he still had a breath. Cao Nian calmed down a little, but his hands still couldn't help but tremble. He held Xu Nuo, feeling heavy. He was afraid. It turned out that this woman was so fragile. It was crazy to take her to perform such a task! But now is not the time for sadness and self-blame! Cao Nian carried Xu Nuo behind his back so that he could feel the woman's heartbeat and breathing at all times. He didn't have to worry about the woman's sudden death. He came to the edge of the platform with Xu Nuo on his back, but did not jump onto the platform, because his intuition told him that jumping onto the platform now was a kind of act of seeking death.
The mental power swept across the platform, and Cao Nian's eyes suddenly turned red.
Fang Heng!
He saw Fang Heng, but the situation of this guy is not optimistic now: a huge creature close to six meters tall was holding Fang Heng's neck tightly. Fang Heng could not break free from his arm at all, and could only keep kicking his legs, like a death row prisoner who was hanged, struggling with all his last strength, but every time he kicked his legs, he could only increase the pressure on his neck!
I'm going to die!
Fang Heng is going to die, everyone is going to die!
Cao Nian felt his heart was cold.
The monster could easily twist Fang Heng's neck, but he did not do that. Instead, he tortured Fang Heng with this cruel method. It was revenge and revenge! Cao Nian and the others offended its majesty and hindered its evolution process overestimated their ability!
Cao Nian squatted under the platform, dared not stick his head out, or even dared to breathe heavily. His legs were trembling. He wanted to save Fang Heng, but he knew he could not do it.
Absolutely impossible!
Because he fought with the intermediate zombie lord, although he was beaten unilaterally that time, Cao Nian knew that this guy was definitely not something he could match, not to mention that the guy in front of him was obviously stronger than before and even more cruel. Cao Nian's hands and feet were cold, as if blood was blocked in the blood vessels, and no oxygen or energy was transported over. His head gradually zombie had the ability to think, and excessive fear destroyed his mind like poison.
This kind of fear is unprecedented. Neither the monsters in the famine world nor the gods in the mythical world have ever made Cao Nian feel so scared.
What's wrong with me?
Fang Heng is going to die now!
What are you doing in such a place?
What are you afraid of?
A guy like you is greedy, philanthropist, cowardly and timid, so why should you be the captain? What do you say to protect everyone to live? Now your teammates are gradually dying in front of you, but you hide in this corner and do nothing!? Stop that monster and fight it! Don’t deceive yourself with the words "reserve strength and reduce losses", Cao Nian! He repeatedly said to himself in his heart, are you going to spend your whole life in regret? Because of your incompetence and cowardice, you have lost a lot, are there anything else you are afraid of losing?
However, Cao Nian is not as brave as he imagined - it turns out that courage cannot be possessed by just shouting slogans.
"Is this - underground? I'm not dead yet?" Xu Nuo suddenly spoke, his voice so soft that he could hardly hear it.
"No, no, you won't die." Cao Nian had the urge to cry with joy. Of course, he couldn't really cry.
"It hurts so much." Xu Nuo found that his physical condition was very bad. After moving a little, the pain suddenly stimulated her nerves.
"It's okay, it's just some trauma. We're fine for the time being." Cao Nian comforted.
"We failed, are we?" Xu Nuo said in a bitter voice, "We are all going to die."
This is definitely not the pessimistic idea that Xu Nuo was suffering. In fact, they are indeed in danger now. Cao Nian sat on the ground in despair. He leaned against the wall of the platform and hugged Xu Nuo in his arms. Xu Nuo slowly took off his mask. Cao Nian wanted to stop her, but he was slower. Xu Nuo threw away the mask and inhaled the first sip of dirty air from the ground, with a calm expression. In despair, the person in despair seemed to feel how bad the environment here was. This woman obviously hated the environment here so much before, and even complained every step, but now she suddenly became so relieved.
She just wanted Cao Nian to be clear about her words.
"I could hear the voice of the monster - but I couldn't hear Fang Heng's voice anymore, and he was no longer by our side. He was caught by the monster, right? Or Fang Heng is dead?" Xu Nuo looked at the rock wall above with his eyes blank and said to Cao Young lightly: "I have thought of many ways to die, but like this, lying in your arms and dying is something I had never thought of, but now it seems that it is not bad."
When Cao Nian's hands were soaked by Xu Nuo's blood, the warmth of the blood gradually disappeared, and he seemed to feel her life gradually disappearing. He hugged her tighter, but found that he could not grasp anything. It turned out that in the explosion just now, Xu Nuo's brain was hit, but his chest was also pierced by glass fragments. Cao Nian could take out the glass sheet, but he didn't dare, because although this could slightly relieve Xu Nuo's pain, it would speed up her death.
"It's okay, everything will pass." Cao Nian choked up his tone as he spoke.
idiot!
Cao Nian really wants to slap himself.
Why does he only say such bad things every time this time?
Suddenly, he figured out the reason.
Incompetent! It is because I am too incompetent that I can only say such meaningless words when I am desperate.
"Everything will pass..." Xu Nuo's voice became lighter and lighter, and the light in his eyes became weaker and weaker. It seemed that after closing his eyes, he would never wake up again. "It's a pity that some things can never be found after they pass."
Cao Nian suddenly became stunned.
yes.
Everything has a day to end, but by then, things have changed.
And those people will never come back.
A guy like Fang Heng, like Xu Nuo, like himself, will never come back if he dies this time.
Xu Nuo suddenly begged and said to Cao Nian: "Maybe we are all wrong this time. This mission itself is a trap - escape, Cao Nian, Fang Heng is dead, I am almost dead, you can't die! Hide, just wait until the time comes, you can return to the main world."
Yes, now he seems to have to run away.
Even Xu Nuo has advised him to escape, what reason does he have to refuse? No matter what perspective, this is the best choice, right? If you die too many of your teammates, Yuan will supplement them in the future; as for women, you may also encounter more intimate people in the future - in short, as long as you live, there will be infinite possibilities. As an awakened person, Cao Nian has infinite potential, so how can he die in such a place with them? Cao Nian suddenly had this despicable idea that made him suffocate himself. Although it was just a flash of thought, it was like a flash of lightning, engraved in his mind and could not be erased.
What should we do now - should we die with them? Or should we live with their expectations and live despicable?
Cao Nian felt that his head was about to explode. This kind of problem was simply too difficult for him! He was not a top student, his IQ was worrying, and his EQ was not much better than IQ. Who can tell him what to do now?
Cao Nian, who had obviously been unable to see anything, suddenly felt a light appear in front of his eyes. This light seemed extremely bright in the endless darkness, guiding Cao Nian like a lighthouse. Cao Nian slowly walked towards the glowing place. This feeling was like walking in a tunnel, and not far ahead was the exit and the end.
What a dazzling light!
Cao Nian finally broke through the darkness.
There is a bright spring before my eyes.
He suddenly was in a familiar place.
This is a hillside, and on the shade of the hillside, there are two small earthen buns. There are two tombstones in front of the earthen buns. It turns out that these are two graves. If it weren't for these two simple tombs, no one would have thought that these are two graves. In front of the grave were two children, a teenage boy, and the other girl, who was only seven or eight years old.
"Stop crying, we will live in my second uncle's house in the future." The boy pouted and wiped the girl's tears. Although his eyes were filled with tears, he knew that he could not cry.
"But, but..." The girl still kept sobbing and couldn't control her emotions at all.
"It's okay, my brother will protect you in the future. No matter who bullies you, I can beat him to the point of a bruised face." The boy comforted the girl, "If you cry, our parents will be sad!"
The girl said, "Will my brother always protect me?"
The boy said, "Of course not!"
The girl cried even louder when she heard this.
The boy quickly said, "I mean I will protect you until you know you are married - and then you will have your husband protect you!"
The girl quickly pouted and said, "I haven't said I want to get married yet."
The boy touched the girl's head in a doting way.
