Chapter 159:
He kept stroking her head.
“Alright.”
“Stop throwing these little tantrums.”
Lan Ling’s small hand balled into a fist, gently tapping Liang Yu’s chest.
“I understand the current situation.”
“It’s not that I’m against you killing people; I just hope you only kill those who deserve it.”
“Just like this time, if I hadn’t stopped you, you would have bombed the entire park, and how many innocent people would have died?”
“Even if human lives are cheaper than grass now, I don’t want you to become someone like Da Zhu Ti Zi Zhang Xianzhong.”
“His eyes only saw killing, but you are different.”
Hearing that Lan Ling was sulking because of this, Liang Yu rubbed his nose a little guiltily.
He recalled his actions recently.
Indeed, he had killed many possibly innocent people.
Take the incident with the village on the national highway, for example.
He believed there wasn’t much problem with slaughtering the entire village; that group of people had indeed attacked him.
Not only attacked, but also revealed killing intent towards him.
So Liang Yu felt there was no problem in slaughtering the remaining living people in that village.
The key was those people later; he might have truly gone too far.
After all, besides the one who picked the lock, the others just wanted to move bodies to have something to eat in this cold wave.
After thinking for a long time, Liang Yu lifted Lan Ling’s small face and looked at her with a smile.
“Okay, I promise you.”
“It’s just that sometimes I might get carried away.”
“I will fall into the abyss, but I hope there is someone who can save me and extend a hand with the light of redemption.”
“Pulling me out of the abyss.”
Liang Yu thought he had done very well, and Lan Ling would definitely take the hint for the rest of his words.
Who knew Lan Ling would push his hand away, then make a playful grimace at Liang Yu.
“I don’t want to.”
“You, Da Zhu Ti Zi, if you fall, climb out yourself; I’ll just watch from the side.”
But then came the twist; after saying that, Lan Ling picked up her handheld console and continued playing Pokémon.
Along with the game sounds, Liang Yu still clearly heard her next words.
“If you really can’t get out.”
“It’s not impossible for me to jump down and accompany you.”
However, Lan Ling specifically turned up the game volume, so if Liang Yu hadn’t been close, he really wouldn’t have heard what Lan Ling said.
At this point, both of them were playing games on their handheld consoles in tacit understanding.
Liang Yu occasionally glanced at the road conditions ahead.
When he got hungry at night, he would take out some food and drinks from his pocket and start eating and drinking.
Just as Liang Yu was eating and looked up, he saw a black shadow flash by.
Immediately after, he heard a dull thud.
“Thud!”
After this dull thud, he then felt the RV’s front hit something.
Liang Yu scanned around and saw some residual liquid in the upper left corner?
And there was a beetle’s corpse on the front of the car.
What the heck!!!
What’s going on?
Looking at the beetle on the front of the car, which was only slightly smaller than his head, Liang Yu suddenly felt like he was illiterate.
He knew nothing, understood nothing.
He didn’t even know what the thing in front of him was.
He subconsciously thought it was a new tactic used by someone trying to block the road nearby.
However, the glasses he was wearing provided information about the beetle in front of him.
This was a creature called an Etch Insect.
It had mutated due to stimulation during the cold wave period.
To survive in sub-zero temperatures, it evolved cold-resistant characteristics.
It fed on various organisms and was highly aggressive.
They were social creatures, usually a large group of Etch Insects came out to forage together.
After reading the information provided by the glasses, Liang Yu felt it was a bit troublesome.
Especially the description of strong active aggression and being social.
This meant that the Etch Insect that hit the RV was not alone.
Then, when the car stopped, he heard the sound of Zerg wings flapping all around.
Just hearing the sound of the wings flapping made both Liang Yu and Lan Ling in the RV feel their scalps tingle.
The sheer number felt overwhelming to them.
Soon, the Zerg answered them with practical actions.
“Thud!”
“Thud, thud, thud!”
“Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud!”
“Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud!”
The Zerg continuously attacked Liang Yu’s RV.
Whether it was the windshield, the car windows, the car doors, or the car body.
These were all targets of the Zerg’s attack.
Dull thuds echoed one after another.
This meant that the Zerg’s attack was very fierce.
Although these forces were not enough to shake the RV, they caused a lot of trouble for the two people inside.
Under the Zerg’s fearless offensive, Liang Yu finally decided that he could not sit back and wait for death.
It was time to counterattack.
Liang Yu summoned a virtual control panel in front of him.
For the Zerg, the first countermeasure Liang Yu thought of was to use fire.
Under Liang Yu’s control, two mechanical tentacles extended from the box on the roof again.
However, this time, the ends of these tentacles had flamethrower nozzles about the size of a fist.
However, at this moment, Liang Yu probably played too much Pokémon, which brought sequelae.
While controlling the mechanical tentacles, he was shouting.
“Take this!”
“Eat my Flamethrower!!”
As Liang Yu’s words fell, the ends of the two mechanical tentacles continuously spewed out ordinary flames.
But something confusing and unexpected happened to the two people in the RV.
The mechanical tentacles continuously sprayed flames at a portion of the Zerg in the sky.
However, these Etch Insects showed no reaction at all.
They let the flames rage on their bodies but did not burn at all.
It was as if they had no flammable material on them.
Because the two mechanical tentacles extended, the Zerg had one more target to attack.
The continuously outputting mechanical tentacles also suffered attacks.
Liang Yu felt that it might be due to the low-temperature environment outside.
The flames spewed by the mechanical tentacles could not reach the Zerg’s ignition point.
At this time, Liang Yu increased the output power.
The flames instantly turned red.
Under natural conditions, red flames usually have temperatures between 600-700 degrees Celsius.
He believed that even if the flames were affected by the outside temperature, there would still be hundreds of degrees of high temperature.
Just as Liang Yu had guessed.
This time, with the red flames, the high-temperature flames that swept towards them made the Zerg retreat three steps.
Only a few Etch Insects did not retreat in time.
They were ignited by the flames sprayed from the mechanical tentacles.
The moment they ignited, their membranous wings became the fastest burning part.
Soon, these ignited Etch Insects fell from the sky like fireballs.
Liang Yu, on his side, controlled the mechanical tentacles to continuously spray flames at the Zerg around the RV.
Using the high-temperature red flames to force back the Etch Insects around the RV.
These Etch Insects, facing Liang Yu’s high-temperature flames.
