The insects shrieked in grief. Their voices were as sharp as nails scratching against glass, echoing far into the night sky.
They seemed to be sending some kind of message. The two insects behind them quickly jumped to the side of the heavily injured giant insect, their two whip-like antennae spinning rapidly.
Then, a few insects that were on the isolation belt also jumped over, their numbers increasing.
Luo Yuan quickly looked around, his face becoming more and more serious. He noticed that not only the insects nearby, but also those that had left a long time ago were also returning.
"Kacha! Kacha!"
There were crisp and small sounds everywhere, as if all the insects in the vicinity had begun to gather in this direction.
The night sky was filled with screams, one after another, as if they were communicating with each other.
These mutated insects had developed a certain level of intelligence and seemed to have formed a tribal-like society. This phenomenon only existed in some special mammals before the apocalypse, but now it was happening in low-level insects.
He decided that he could not wait any longer. The longer he delayed, the more dangerous it would be. Once a certain number of insects gathered, with their unpredictable attacks and fast movements, even he would have to retreat.
He quickly took out another short spear from his back and stomped hard with his right foot. The next moment, the short spear disappeared from his hand like a lightning bolt.
The piercing sound of the spear piercing through the air had not completely dissipated when a second sound was heard.
The speed of the short spear was shocking, directly exceeding the speed of sound. An insect that was standing near the injured insect did not even have time to react before it was hit by the short spear that pierced through the heavy rain. Its hard exoskeleton was quickly deformed, dented, and even shattered under such a terrifying attack. The huge force directly pushed it more than 20 meters away from its original position. Because of the intense friction on the concrete ground, there were a few obvious scratches on it. Finally, it rolled into the isolation belt of the highway.
The other beast was so frightened by the sudden explosion that it kicked its hind legs in an attempt to escape. However, it was clearly a step too late. Its body had barely left the ground when the short spear whistled through the air. In the next moment, it heavily bombarded its hind leg that was as thick as a round table. Its entire hind leg was immediately broken at the base. The remaining force of the spear did not stop there, and it blasted a terrible wound on its soft abdomen.
The third, the fourth … the sixth.
Luo Yuan's series of movements were as smooth as flowing water and as fast as the wind. In the eyes of ordinary people, they could only see Luo Yuan's body blur and hear a series of explosions in the air. It was as if there was a muffled thunder exploding in their ears, making them dizzy and nauseous.
Unfortunately, other than the second and third arrows that hit the target, the other arrows all missed without exception.
Firstly, the other insects were too far away, and the short spear had already lost its speed in the rain. Secondly, the other insects were already on their guard, and the surprise effect was no longer there.
Luo Yuan stopped throwing the spear and held it tightly in his hand, ready to attack at any time.
This action, however, greatly deterred the surrounding attackers. The few insects that rushed over only hissed from a distance to demonstrate their might, but they did not dare to get too close. The giant lizard kept running. After following it for a while, these terrifying insects saw that they couldn't gain any advantage, so they wisely left this place and ran in another direction.
Luo Yuan let out a sigh of relief. Only when he relaxed did he feel a burning pain in his arms and back.
He frowned. His previous attack seemed powerful and unstoppable, but it was not without its cost.
Throwing a short spear was not like throwing a knife, which required a lot of skill. Its power was directly related to the kinetic energy of the body. The greater the kinetic energy, the greater the power of the short spear. In order to achieve the most lethal effect, he had to use all his strength every time he threw a short spear.
In addition, his body's Agility and Strength were not in harmony. Agility was higher than Strength, and his muscles were obviously strained when he used too much force.
Normally, with his self-healing ability, he would be able to recover from such a small injury after a night's sleep. But now, danger was lurking everywhere. Tens of thousands of beasts were migrating. The insects that appeared just now were just the fastest wave of the beast tide. More dangers would appear in the future.
Of course, such a small injury was not enough to make him lose his ability to fight, but it would seriously affect his performance in the future.
He was now more and more aware of the drawbacks of the uncoordinated attributes. The next time he leveled up, he would have to increase his Strength, or else he would not be able to fight to his heart's content. Luo Yuan was secretly troubled, but he did not show it on his face.
Suddenly, he thought of something and turned to the others. "You guys keep an eye on the surroundings. I'm going to rest for a while."
The improvement of their physical fitness had given them some low-light vision. Although their vision was not as good as his, it was still better than ordinary people's.
"Boss Luo, you should rest for a while. I'll keep an eye on things here. Miss Wang is here too. You don't have to worry at all," Huo Dong quickly assured him.
Wang Shishi could not help but smile. She said confidently, "Yes, Brother Luo. Don't worry, I'm here!"
"I'll be careful!" Huang Jiahui said, but there was a flash of worry on her face.
Luo Yuan nodded and sat down with his legs crossed. A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly gathered his Will.
This time, he did not waste any time and directly focused his gaze on his injured arm. The scene in front of his eyes was shocking. There was a large amount of extravasated blood in the muscle, and a large number of nearby capillaries were also clogged. Some muscle fibers had also been broken.
Although it was only a small part of the injury, it had completely restricted the strength of his right arm.
Time was limited, so Luo Yuan quickly scanned and got to work. Based on yesterday's experience, the first thing he needed to do was to use his Will to clear the capillaries, followed by the extravasated blood. As soon as his Will appeared, the extravasated blood was shaken away by a mysterious force and disappeared without a trace.
These two steps were the simplest and the easiest. Basically, it did not consume much of his Will.
The third step was the most crucial and also the most difficult. He focused and began his first attempt.
However, it turned out that it was much easier than he had imagined.
What was Will? Will was idealism. Will was the materialization of the spirit. Will was the fulfillment of one's wishes.
Just as he thought about it, under his gaze, the broken muscle fibers began to move spontaneously. Soon, the two ends began to come into contact with each other. The small granulation intertwined with each other, and after a slight itch, it was completely healed. There was no dislocation at all. It was simply perfect.
By then, only a few seconds had passed.
Luo Yuan could not help but feel excited. He almost could not concentrate his Will, so he had to stop and calm down. When he had completely calmed down, he looked around again. With the help of his Will, the broken muscle fibers began to heal quickly.
The whole process took less than a few minutes, and all the broken muscles had recovered to their original state.
He opened his eyes and could not help but shake his arm. He realized that the pain had completely disappeared. Not only that, but it seemed that his strength had increased a little. It was unbelievable.
Even though he was in a dangerous situation, he could not help but feel a little excited.
There was a flaw in self-healing. The more injuries one had, the more dislocations there would be. If even the bones were broken, the situation would be even more serious. No matter how perfect the bones were, there would still be slight dislocations. As the number of injuries increased, the strength would gradually decrease.
But now, his Will could make up for everything perfectly. When he thought about the many chronic diseases that remained in his body, he could not help but want to hurt himself if he was not in a dangerous situation.
"You're awake. Do you want to rest a little longer?" Huang Jiahui asked worriedly when she saw Luo Yuan open his eyes.
"I'm fine now." Luo Yuan shook her hand and smiled as he shook his head.
Nothing needed to be said. The two of them had been together for so long that they had developed a tacit understanding. When she saw Luo Yuan's expression, she finally felt relieved.
Zhao Yali looked at all of this in silence. She felt bitter, as if her heart was blocked by something.
Suddenly, Zhou Yicheng groaned and woke up. As soon as he opened his mouth, he breathed in a mouthful of cold air and could not help coughing.
"Commander, you're awake. How are you feeling now?" a soldier asked, grabbing onto the rattan blanket and struggling to move over.
Zhou Yicheng took a deep breath and said while panting, "Where am I? Am I not dead yet? "
"Captain Luo saved you. We're on our way now. We'll reach Hu City soon. You must hang in there, Commander, "another soldier said as he looked at Luo Yuan carefully.
"I'm fine. I feel much better already. Brother Luo, I won't say any more thanks. I'll keep it in my heart. "Zhou Yicheng said sincerely as he looked for Luo Yuan, who was next to him.
"It's nothing. Unfortunately, many people couldn't be saved," Luo Yuan said with a sigh.
Zhou Yicheng's body trembled and he said hoarsely, "Who else is there? Tell me your names!"
"Xie Qiliang, here!"
"Xue Liancheng, here!"
"Li Shaodie, still alive!"
"Bai Shangfeng, here! Ready to charge at any time! "
"Wang Weilin, here!"
"Zhou Bin, here!"
"Zhu Dazhuang, here! I still need to avenge my fallen comrades. "
Zhou Yicheng listened in silence. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Listen up, all of you. Grit your teeth and bear it. Hope is right in front of us. Don't fall on the last step. I will keep my word. I will definitely bring you all to live!"
His voice was soon blown away by the wind and rain. Not only the soldiers, but even Luo Yuan and the others were excited. Hu City was right in front of them.
