Chapter 18: Surviving the Catastrophe, the Beast Tide Arrives

The red pointer rotates rapidly on the turntable.

Finally, it slowly stopped at nine o'clock.

【Space Stone】

Type: storage props

Effect: Can store 50 units of non-living items.

Quality: premium green

Reminder: After use, the user will be automatically bound. When the user is dead, the binding will be released.

Chen Ping directly used the space stone. With a thought, fifty grids appeared in the void in front of him that only he could see.

Each grid can place one kind of item, and up to 20 items can be stacked. The stacked volume cannot exceed ten cubic meters.

Chen Ping first put the body of the third-level red fire wolf into the space stone, which directly showed that three and a half grids were used.

Then he put the few remaining potions into the space stone.

With the space stone, it is very convenient to carry items.

A year or two later, this kind of space stone has almost become a standard equipment for survivors in the apocalypse.

But now it is an extremely rare treasure.

After using two green quality turntables continuously, Chen Ping still has forty years and nine days left in his life.

He didn't stop there. There was also a third-level red fire ferocious wolf's turntable that was not used.

Although this third-level scarlet beast does not have a blue-quality turntable, this green-quality turntable is not inferior to the blue turntable.

"Please specify the reward item!"

1. Star promotion card! (Below Silver level, directly promoted to one star level)

2. Bullet time! (Skill)

3. Sacrifice! (talent)

4. Proficiency improvement scroll! (Increase the proficiency of talents or skills by 50%)

5. Strengthening (strength increased by five points)

6. Agility enhancement (agility increased by five points)

7. Fire resistance is strengthened! (Increase fire resistance by six points)

…

There are sixty different kinds of rewards on the turntable, nearly 40% of which are of green quality, and most of them are the best of green quality.

Chen Ping was a little confused for the first time.

"Sacrifice!"

He finally chose the green talent "Sacrifice".

For every year of burning life, all attributes increase by 100%, and the duration is two seconds.

If it is a sacrifice of red quality, it will burn for 50 years, increase all attributes by 600%, and last for 10 seconds.

As long as you have enough lifespan, killing people indiscriminately in this apocalyptic world is never a problem.

However, it is difficult to extract the red sacrifice from the carousel.

In addition to drawing directly, you can use scarlet coins to upgrade in the second-level scarlet cabin.

Or draw three green quality sacrifices, upgrade them to blue, and then draw six more, upgrade them to red.

For Chen Ping now, the "sacrifice" of green quality can barely save his life, while the red quality, which seems powerful, does not have enough lifespan to support it, and is just a decoration.

Night had completely fallen, and wolves howled one after another all around.

Anger, hatred, and bloodthirsty are all mixed together, which is horrifying to hear.

"The tide of beasts... is coming!"

Chen Ping frowned slightly.

At the speed he was walking, it was impossible to leave the coastal area before the beast tide came.

Without sufficient supplies, he would face the beast tide alone in the Crimson Wilderness. Even if he rose to the Silver rank, he would die of exhaustion sooner or later.

Right now, the safest way is to return to Ironwood Camp first, survive this beast wave, and then make plans.

"Gulu!"

Chen Ping drank the primary agility potion, then identified the direction and started running at full speed.

…

“I finally saw the convoy, I thought it was going to be abandoned!”

Duan Zixuan followed Mazi and saw the car lights in the distance before letting go of his worries.

"Hey? Why are you driving?"

"Hey! We haven't gotten in the car yet!"

Duan Zixuan just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the motorcade in front of him starting to move slowly.

Among the dozen or so people, Mazi was the one who reacted fastest. He immediately took out his compound bow.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow shot out and landed on the carriage of the last car in the convoy.

"Captain, your arrow... seems to have hit someone!"

Mazi looked as usual and put away the compound bow.

The heavy truck in the distance stopped.

"Here!"

Duan Zixuan waved his hand, and under his loud shout, the people in the motorcade also discovered their team.

"Plop!"

A man who was shot by an arrow was thrown out of the truck compartment.

Mazi and others boarded the carriage one after another.

The truck was about to start again. Mazi quickly squeezed through the crowd and slapped the iron plate of the front of the truck hard.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, there's another person!"

He vaguely saw a familiar figure, and his heart suddenly became excited.

Only, this time, the convoy did not stop.

In the Crimson Wilderness, every second you stay is a huge risk.

Especially since it is still night, this convoy may not be able to return to the camp.

If Xue Na hadn't felt that Mazi was very good, it would have been impossible for the team to stop.

Mazi's palms were already red and swollen, and he was still slapping them. At one point, he even had the urge to jump out of the car.

The speed of the convoy is getting faster and faster.

"Brother, go on!"

Duan Zixuan saw the figure moving very fast, and immediately chased him to the back of the car. He took off his pants without hesitation, held one of his pants legs tightly, and threw it down.

"Bang! Bang!"

With quick hands and eyes, Chen Ping grabbed Duan Zixuan's trousers that were thrown down, pulled them hard, and then used his feet twice outside the carriage to climb into the carriage.

"Brother!" Duan Zixuan approached Chen Ping excitedly.

"Thank you!" Chen Ping nodded.

"We are all brothers who have passed through life, so there is no need to say thank you!"

As soon as Duan Zixuan finished speaking, Mazi also squeezed over and confirmed that it was Chen Ping, and then he felt relieved.

As for the people who were watching indifferently, they were all puzzled.

This young man looked ordinary, but he could make Mazi so nervous. He couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

At night, vision is limited, and car lights can easily attract the attention of the scarlet beast, so the risk is several times higher than during the day.

Moreover, many scarlet beasts hunt at night.

Fortunately, we only encountered a few first-level scarlet beasts on the road, and the convoy returned to Dawn Camp without any damage.

In this operation, Chenxi Camp lost more than 300 people, and the remaining first-level camps suffered more than half casualties.

As for the Ironwood Camp, there were actually zero casualties, which made everyone else feel incredible.

Xue Na directly invited them to join the Dawn Camp.

Mazi declined.

Compared to Ironwood Camp, Chenxi Camp has a closer relationship with the Chen family.

If Chen Ping stayed in Chenxi Camp, the risk of exposure would be too great.

Mazi knew the stakes. If Chen Ping wanted to return to Ironwood Camp, Mazi would definitely not stay at Chenxi Camp.

The next day, the members of the Ironwood Camp left the Dawn Camp in the armored vehicles they came with.

The sun has never been so warm. When they came, they all came with the idea of ​​death, and surviving the disaster made them feel that everything was not so bad.

Except for Duan Zixuan and Li Shan, these team members were grateful to Mazi from the bottom of their hearts. During this operation, they saw Mazi's rapid improvement in strength.

In their hearts, Mazi's status has far surpassed that of battalion commander Zhang Tie.

Duan Zixuan and Li Shan clearly knew that they were alive because of Chen Ping's existence.

At noon, Chen Ping followed Mazi and others and returned to Ironwood Camp.

Five minutes after they got off the bus, Mazi was reporting his trip experience to Zhang Tie. The first large-scale beast tide began in the coastal area.

June 15, 2092, the 100th day of the end, and the sixth day of Chen Ping's rebirth.

Countless red fire ferocious wolves launched a fierce attack on the human camp.

At first, everyone was defenseless, and nearly half of the camp was directly destroyed.

Mazi and Chen Ping were also immediately sent to the outer front line.

"Horses, don't they have this thing to prevent those scarlet beasts from approaching?"

Late at night, Mazi accompanied Chen Ping to the scarlet cabin.

They killed the first-level red fire ferocious wolf for more than ten hours before being rotated down to rest.

Chen Ping came to the scarlet cabin without stopping.

"The scarlet cabin absorbs the crimson mist and converts it into field energy, making it impossible for the scarlet beast to get close. Every year in the middle of March, June, September, and December, the scarlet cabin begins to absorb the crimson mist, which lasts for about seven days!"

"In these seven days, the field energy disappears, and the ability to affect the scarlet beast is lost. It will not function again until seven days later, when the scarlet cabin completes the energy absorption."

As Chen Ping spoke, he took out the scarlet coin and swiped it on the handle of the scarlet cabin.

There were originally people guarding this place, but under the impact of the beast tide, the camp was short of manpower, so everyone went to the camp's defenses to resist the beast tide.

Even those in the basement who had no abilities were given weapons and sent to the defense line.

This scarlet cabin is naturally unattended.

"Brother Chen, don't worry, go in and I'll watch for you!"

As Mazi spoke, he took out a cigarette butt and took a puff of it with great reluctance, to relieve the mental pressure.

"Thank you!"

Chen Ping nodded and threw a bottle of primary strength potion to Mazi.

"This... this is too precious, I..."

Before Mazi could finish speaking, Chen Ping flashed and entered the scarlet cabin.

At the same time, Song Cheng passed by carrying two heavy sniper rifles.

"Mazi? Why are you here?"

Mazi quickly put away the potion in his hand: "Well... I just came back from the defense line and plan to go back to rest!"

Song Cheng was once the vice-captain of the first team and had a good relationship with Mazi.

They were college classmates and later settled down in the same community.

A friendship that has lasted nearly twenty years.

Although during biological research, Song Cheng ran away directly.

But Mazi didn't blame him at all. After all, if it were him, he would have made the same choice at that time.

The friendship of more than twenty years will not turn into enemies in this scarlet apocalypse because of this incident.

"But the dormitory is over there..."

As Song Cheng spoke, he suddenly looked at the scarlet cabin that was emitting red light.

"Someone has gone in!" Song Cheng's face changed slightly.

Since the end of the world, no one in Ironwood Camp has used the scarlet cabin. This is huge news for Songcheng!

"Chengzi, don't be too troublesome!" Mazi warned.

"Do you know who the person inside is? Could it be the battalion commander... No, I just saw him in the square. If someone can use this thing, he must tell the battalion commander..."

"City!"

"Um?"

"I'm sorry!"

An arrow flew out and pierced Song Cheng's abdomen directly.

"Mazi...you..."

Song Cheng's face was full of disbelief.

Ma Zi rushed forward and supported Song Cheng.

"Who... who is he?" Song Cheng covered the wound on his abdomen.

"Even if you can't tell others, I won't tell you!"

Ma Zi felt mixed emotions.

He never thought that he would attack Song Cheng one day.

Whether it was because of the friendship of more than 20 years or the great role Song Cheng played in the camp.

Ma Zi would never attack Song Cheng.

But Song Cheng appeared at this time.

He had to make a choice between Song Cheng and Chen Ping.

Ma Zi didn't have time to think, but made a judgment subconsciously.

Until Song Cheng was no longer alive, Ma Zi felt that he couldn't attack Song Cheng.

In the scarlet cabin, Chen Ping knew nothing about what was happening outside.

"Four were exploded when killing the wolf pack, and five were exploded when killing the third-level red fire wolf."

"If I upgrade Xiao Hei, there is still one less. I don't know how long I have to wait..."

Chen Ping was rarely entangled.
