Chapter 275: A-Rank Goldie p2
Walking in the slime, Lin Jiayao felt like she was wading through a swamp. The further she went, the higher the pile of viscous liquid became.
Soon, the liquid reached Lin Jiayao’s waist. If she went any further, she would probably be completely submerged.
If only she had logged into a skeletal zombie… at least she could inherit some of Mask’s abilities and use bone spurs as paddles to get through here.
Helplessly, Lin Jiayao could only temporarily move to a nearby tall building and climb the stairs step by step.
After climbing to about the fortieth floor, Lin Jiayao finally reached the rooftop, shot the chain on the roof door, pushed open the door, and looked into the distance.
From the tall building, Lin Jiayao finally saw a huge, faintly glowing figure in the distance.
The nearly hundred-meter-tall giant figure in the distance was still the original huge stick shape, and Lin Jiayao couldn’t see the details clearly, but she could see that purple-red liquid was continuously gushing out from the top of the stick-shaped object.
This liquid almost completely covered the giant object.
What disgusted Lin Jiayao the most was not the giant monster, but the densely packed egg-shaped balls covered with pus everywhere.
As the super-infected spread outwards, there were no super-infected in the central area, only these gestating egg balls.
It was probably because of gestating these things that the Blood Crystals were being consumed on a large scale.
The giant creature was too far away, and it was impossible for Lin Jiayao to get close to it, so she could only try raising the muzzle of her gun and firing a burst at the giant creature more than a thousand meters away.
Unfortunately, after a whole burst, it seemed that not a single bullet hit the distant monster, and it wasn’t activated.
After changing to a new magazine, Lin Jiayao didn’t continue to shoot at the giant blood crystal, but aimed at a slightly larger egg ball downstairs.
“Da da da—da da da—”
Two bursts of precise three-round bursts, Lin Jiayao, from her high vantage point, directly exploded the egg ball.
Although she hadn’t used firearms for a long time, the instinctive shooting reaction she had been training was still engraved in Lin Jiayao’s memory.
“Crack—”
After being attacked, the egg ball seemed to go berserk, cracking inch by inch, and as it cracked, the surrounding egg balls also began to burst open.
From those smaller egg balls, countless hairy “spiders”, using dried human torsos as legs, began to quickly crawl towards Lin Jiayao, even directly climbing up the outer walls of the buildings.
And because they used human torsos as legs, they looked even more terrifying than Mask during its human-headed spider period. The most important thing was that their speed wasn’t even slower than Mask during its human-headed spider period.
This wave of zombies, any camp or blood crystal below B-rank would be unable to resist.
And when the ten-meter-tall egg broke open, Lin Jiayao finally saw what was gestating inside.
It was a… huge insect corpse, formed by piecing together human torsos, which hadn’t even fully fused yet. It looked like a larger version of a flesh and blood ant.
But it didn’t have the giant jaws of an ant, nor the pincers that insect zombies usually evolved. What it had was an incredibly stout abdomen, almost three times the size of its body.
Its abdomen had densely packed holes, and these holes were filled with human and zombie heads. They seemed to be still alive, sticking their heads out of the holes and roaring frantically at Lin Jiayao.
It was like a headless flesh and blood ant carrying a peeled guava three times its size on its back, and the densely packed red fruits on the guava were the roaring heads stained with mucus.
Even the purplish-red bloodstains on those heads looked exactly like guava fruits.
The huge, headless Corpse Ant slowly moved its body, its back facing Lin Jiayao, and raised its abdomen high.
Its abdomen began to bulge, and the densely packed heads on it were also stretched to their limit, leaving only a few blood vessels and mucus connecting their necks.
“Bang—”
With a loud bang, the Corpse Ant’s abdomen instantly contracted as if deflating, and the heads on it were ejected one by one, revealing what was behind them.
It was pairs of purplish blood wings connected to their necks and the backs of their heads, flapping rapidly like bat wings, and countless heads with flapping wings rushed towards Lin Jiayao.
These heads, stretched to their limit, made Lin Jiayao have no doubt that after they exploded, they would be full of brain matter and blood with the super infection source.
It was a bit appetizing.
Lin Jiayao quickly raised her gun and exploded a few heads in the air. As expected, two kinds of mixed blood, deep purple and blue, exploded from the heads, and the blood and brain matter splattered for at least ten meters.
An A-rank zombie that mainly relied on infection…? A truly toxic variety she had never encountered before.
Considering that the other party was A-rank, this infected blood might even harm Goldie, who was also A-rank.
An opponent she couldn’t even touch…?
In two more seconds, those human-headed bats and spiders would reach the range of the infected blood splatter. Lin Jiayao quickly took two steps back, directly inserted the rifle into her stomach, through her already tattered lungs and throat, and aimed it at her head.
There was no other way, the rifle was too strong, she could only use this method.
“Bang—”
The gunshot rang out. Before those terrifying heads flew over, the bullet directly smashed Lin Jiayao’s brain, bringing her consciousness back to her main body.
[Extraction Failed]
[Please retain your evolution.]
[1. [Strength Lv.1]: Enhances your strength…]]
Lin Jiayao opened her eyes, looked at the retain evolution interface that had already been opened, blinked, and gradually came back to her senses.
Although her spirit was very strong, every different way of dying and the pain would always make Lin Jiayao have lingering fears, as if she had truly experienced death.
Lin Jiayao casually chose Strength Lv.1 and closed the system interface.
Feeling the slight warm current in her body, Lin Jiayao silently thought about how to use Goldie to deal with the disgusting A-rank in India that was still expanding its territory.
It wasn’t completely unbeatable.
Now Descend had a 12-hour cooldown, and she could descend twice a day.
At this frequency, no matter how strong that A-rank was, once wouldn’t be enough, then twice, if twice wasn’t enough, then four times. She could just use Descend to wear it down.
But considering its speed of contaminating blood crystals, it was best to control the killing time within one or two times.
After sensing her mental power, Lin Jiayao felt that she could start the first round of descending soon.
It just so happened that Lin Jiayao also wanted to see how strong the A-rank Goldie was when she attacked with all her might without holding back.
Descend didn’t require any preparations, not even Blood Crystal Serum.
But to be safe, Lin Jiayao still needed something that could transport or temporarily store Blood Crystals, and it had to be easy to carry.
The little blue serpent definitely wouldn’t work. Not to mention flying to India, even taking it out of China would probably lose its “signal”. It couldn’t be too far away from its main body.
But… if she told it that there were flying human heads there… forget it, if the Blue Serpent was also infected, it would be troublesome.
She had to act before it infected the ocean on a large scale.
Lin Jiayao opened the login interface, chose Descend, which had already cooled down, selected Goldie as the descended body, and at the same time, selected New Delhi, India as the descend target.
Lin Jiayao slowly closed her eyes and confirmed the descend.
At the same time, the insect chair took the yellow egg that Lin Jiayao handed over, wrapped it up, crawled out of the room, spread its elytra, and flew towards the distance, its body quickly transforming into a streamlined flapping-wing insect in the air.
“Hmm?” Lin Xiwan, who was awakened by the crawling and vibrating sound, slightly opened her eyes, pinched her sister’s lower abdomen, confirmed that her sister was still beside her, hugged her a little tighter, and then fell back into a deep sleep.
Lin Jiayao’s flapping-wing insect was carrying the small Black Stem’s egg and flying away. There were still two eggs left from the ones she had squeezed out of the Black Stem Fungus before, which just came in handy now.
If A4 could successfully kill the other party, then the Black Stem could wrap the Blood Crystals for safekeeping, and let Lin Jiayao’s mycelium devour the corpse.
Meanwhile, a figure quickly broke through the clouds and was rapidly falling from the sky.
Lin Jiayao in the air slowly opened her eyes and saw the huge city in the darkness below.
“Buzz—”
A golden flying insect flew out from Lin Jiayao’s palm and shattered directly in the air.
After the flying insect shattered, Lin Jiayao belatedly realized something.
She was currently a descended body and didn’t need to save Blood Crystals.
And she didn’t need to push herself to the limit either.
The originally shattered flying insect quickly recondensed, drilled into Lin Jiayao’s back, absorbed the Blood Crystals in her body, and the pale golden patterned wings quickly expanded, carrying Lin Jiayao and hovering in the sky.
The city on the ground was pitch black, only one area had faint purple lights, and it was easy to tell where that A-rank was.
At this height, it didn’t seem to notice her arrival.
Ten thousand meters above, Lin Jiayao raised her hand and created a huge light circle. Countless golden flying insects emerged from it and flew towards the city below.
“Buzz—”
A large number of golden flying insects swooped down from the sky, as brilliant as falling fireworks.
But the lethality of these “fireworks” was A-rank.
“Buzz—!”
The rapidly descending golden flying insects instantly enveloped the long, narrow area within a ten-kilometer radius, and everything around was reflected in Lin Jiayao’s eyes.
It could be seen that after sensing the flying insects, that A-rank quickly reacted.
Almost all the egg balls in the entire city began to vibrate, and an endless stream of zombies were being hatched, rushing towards the insect swarm.
And the huge flesh and blood pillar also slowly bulged, as if accumulating energy.
Lin Jiayao high in the sky slowly narrowed her eyes. Still hovering in the sky, she continued to create flying insects for long-range attacks, and controlled the direction of each flying insect through micro-control.
It was like a god in the sky remotely controlling the battlefield in the mortal world.
Although this distance was safe enough, the combat effectiveness of the flying insects was not as good as Lin Jiayao had imagined.
The human-headed bats that had previously attacked Lin Jiayao’s No. 2 logged-in body had not yet dispersed. After sensing the flying insects, they quickly returned to defend, guarding the area around the Flesh and Blood Pillar.
As long as any flying insects approached, there would be human-headed bats exploding. Unless all the flying insects launched wave after wave of suicidal charges, it would be difficult to reach the Flesh and Blood Pillar before the other zombie hordes arrived.
Mass produce?
Then let’s mass produce!
Now Lin Jiayao was least afraid of wars of attrition.
“Buzz—!”
The golden flying insects, which had just formed an encirclement, let out a deafening roar and turned into golden streams of light, diving towards the huge Flesh and Blood Pillar.
