Chereads / My Uncle's Store In Apocalypse (Dropped) / Chapter 15 - Exploring the Apocalypse (2)

Chapter 15 - Exploring the Apocalypse (2)

"Quickly escape!" a group of lightly armed survivors running away from a group of crocodile looking reptiles. And further behind the monsters is a walking creature with sacks of eggs that can be hatched at will.

One of the survivors stopped moving and decided to deliver justice on behalf of a few of his dead friends. Unfortunately, not even a shot is fired before he met his end.

The survivor got devoured until no bone left. Then following behind the still burping monsters, another group of crocodile looking reptiles charged through to continue the pursuit.

"D*mn!" one of the survivor's Leishen Model A-11 Rifle is stuck. He can't remove the bullet while running.

But then, another survivor dropped a hand grenade on the ground. When it explodes, a row of explosion lits the monsters in flames and lets them struggles there for a while.

"Get inside the building! Xin Da, deploy a Type-E Barricade!" the leader that tossed the grenade earlier ordered.

"Xin Da is dead!" another survivor answers.

"Then somebody just put a Type-E Barricade and blocks the d*mn entrance!" he shouted.

"Dang dang dang dang ding!"

"Dang dang dang ding!"

"Dang..."

The barricades are immediately deployed and covered three broadest access into the building. This gave the six of them a window of time to take a breath, said their prayers, or vent their anger before accepting the arrival of their death.

"BANG!" the barricade is hammered from the outside.

The group of six survivors immediately hold their weapon up, waiting for the barricade to be breached.

...

...

...

"What the hell is that, Dan Mi?" Zhang Qin Feng pointed his sidearm on the twitching creature standing in the middle of a cross junction. As the creature twitch, more monsters are spawned from the sack of eggs, which is almost limitless.

"That is what we called as Carrier." Dan Mi pointed at the creature.

"The monster it gave birth can reach maturity in two days, and able to think independently. Once a while, a king or queen is born with fertility, enabling them to spread out and start making the nest to expand their numbers."

"Although they don't give us any cores, the meat, hides, and many things from them are edible with low risk of getting contaminated by SCV. And of course, that's excluding the Carrier itself." Dan Mi ended his explanation.

"So do we hunt it, or we take another route?" Zhang Qin Feng asked.

"You're still inexperienced right now. I suggest we play it safe and have the third brother take the distraction position to attracts the crowd of monsters to another route while we thin their numbers." Dan Mi suggested and points at this person he calls the third brother.

"I'll do it." Yang San, the third eldest in the team, added.

Everyone in the team nodded in agreement. With Yang San moving in the opposite direction and form a "Ready" signal using hand gesture, everyone else takes a position and prepares to attack.

"Boom!" Yang San fired a few explosive ammunition on the Carrier.

"WOOOOO!!!" the Carrier howled in anguish, and that howl got all the attention of its children. Group of reptiles immediately charged at where Yang San stands.

"Now!" Dan Mi takes the lead and starts firing at the end of the line, killing a few slower monsters before they're able to escape. The barrage manages to kill at least 10 reptiles before the crowd left the area.

"What are the monsters doing earlier? They're all focused on attacking the building." Zhang Qin Feng and the others step outside of the opposite building and get closer to the barricaded building.

"The barricade's durability is too much. Getting attacked by groups of the monster but still retain the shape without losing too much..." Zhang Qin Feng knocked on the barricade, appreciates its build, and left.

But then, he has an urgency to test its durability. With the Leishen Model S-35i in hand, Zhang Qing Feng fired a shot at the barricade.

"Not bad. If I can get a bunch of these things, I can even create my own fully armored base. This feels like Unicorn Six Seige." he laughed and left.

But before he did, the barricade crashed and collapsed onto the ground.

That's because somebody pressed the deactivated switch from the inside. This allows the people within the barricade to escape and charge outside without obstruction.

"This friend, thank you for rescuing us." the leader of the six thanked Zhang Qin Feng for clearing the monsters outside a while ago.

"Not at all. That's the leader of this team, Dan Mi," Zhang Qin Feng introduced Dan Mi to the team leader and let them continue the conversation.

"Dan Mi from the Blood Wolf Gang... Are you here to annex our Green Leaf Gang?" the leader asked. Coincidently, they're all from the Green Leaf Gang.

"I'm not here to do any of that today. But what happened to your team, Xiong Jie?" Dan Mi shakes the hand of his enemy. But although the two teams are not in a friendly relationship, when it comes to facing the SCV Spawns, everyone is a teammate.

"Got attacked by the Carrier out of sudden. We got it at first, but an Elite is born suddenly, and nobody has enough firepower to defeat it," Xiong Jie replied. It is not something to feel shame about.

Although the Carrier is capable of giving birth to various kinds of creatures, most of them are weakling, except for a few exceptional classes.

Elite. One with the durability of a Devourer, but smaller.

Queen. A replacement of Carrier, able to give birth to similar species like the queen.

King. Monster comparable to Titan-2. The king can control similar species and has a tendency to create a nest everywhere they go.

Of course, this designation is only applicable to reptiles species. Some Carriers outside of Changyang is rumored to be able to give birth to Insect species, such as an Elite Centipede beast.

"What is your boss doing? Asking a small team to come out and practice?" Dan Mi added.

"We're having a problem with our own Protein Bar Maker. So we're out there looking for parts to repair it. Plus, because you obstruct us from entering the General Store, we're now in a food shortage." Xiong Jie answered.

Unexpectedly, his answer exposed what Blood Wolf Gang is doing. It made Dan Mi quickly tried to cover what they're doing outside of his General Store.

"We're doing this to make sure nobody is thinking about causing trouble to the store." Dan Mi said apologetically.

"That's fine with me. Just make sure that business is not interrupted. As for other gang members, all they need is an access tag from Blood Wolf Gang to trade with my store, savvy?" Zhang Qin Feng tapped Dan Mi's shoulder.

His reply is not as supportive as what Dan Mi thought!

"He's supporting our Blood Wolf Gang?" Dan Mi turned around and stared at Zhang Qin Feng. The latter only smiled at him before taking a packet of biscuits out from his backpack.

"Here, I'm sure you guys are hungry from all the fights." Zhang Qin Feng tossed the packet to Xiong Jie's hand and added another sentence.

"If you put them into the water before eating them, they're much more filling than eating them dried." he left before they managed to say anything else.

And because there are monsters around them, nobody dares to be loud when they talk. Hence, nobody managed to say the word "thank you" to Zhang Qin Feng.

"Are... Are we bringing the packet of biscuits home?" one of the starving members of their team asked.

"This is not our loot today. We found no biscuits!" Xiong Jie opened the packet of eighteen pieces of dried biscuits and splits to 6 people evenly.

Each of them only managed to have 3 pieces, but the feeling inside them can be said to be something difficult to describe.

"Shall we... Join the Blood Wolf Gang instead?" one after another starting to think about moving from their withered tree, into one that grown well with loads of fruits and good wood.
