Chapter 114: Level Up Mission Successfully Completed
Yu Jiang was also extremely nervous inside.
That huge hammer spinning around, brushing past over the road, kicking up crushed snow and cold wind, the sound of the hammer rotating right by her ears.
It was already not easy to keep the vehicle steady, as she rushed past, Yu Jiang held her breath, her whole body tense, with only the whistling cold wind in her ears.
The bigger the vehicle, the more dangerous, almost as soon as her front passed, the heavy Giant Swing grazed past the vehicle’s rear.
Yu Jiang didn’t dare to stop, only after driving forward another hundred-plus meters did she finally take a deep breath, roll down the window, and check the rearview mirror.
The scene was quite thrilling.
A large group of Ice Zombies charged after her, then got smashed flying by the Giant Swing one after another, severed limbs wrapped in ice flying everywhere, and one head even rolled down from her car front.
There was movement in the snowy ground too, a large swarm of Mutated Beetles burrowed out, their shiny black shells especially conspicuous in the vast white world.
Ice Zombies could be ignored, they couldn’t catch up to the vehicle anyway, but Yu Jiang had to fight the Mutated Beetles, such a great Level Up opportunity.
These Mutated Beetles looked a bit like June beetles, black with colorful patterns, their front legs had enormous destructive power, and they moved fast too.
Looking closely, there were many sharp little spikes on their shells, highly toxic, getting pricked caused heart-piercing pain.
Sui Feng 220 had gotten a hand full of bloody holes from being pricked.
Yu Jiang had previously obtained the Poisonous Spider Hunter achievement, which granted immunity to low-level insect and arthropod toxins.
Mutated Beetles weren’t low-level, so not complete immunity, others would suffer from just one hit, while she could take several without necessarily getting Bleeding damage.
The trouble with these things was their shells were too hard, the little spikes on their bodies impossible to fully guard against.
Yu Jiang deliberately attracted the monsters, gathering them together, driving the RV in a circle through the muddy snowy ground, and in no time, several Mutated Beetles were already crawling on the front windshield.
Her teammates had also arrived.
Several familiar vehicles appeared in view, Kuang Kuang Kuang’s had turned into a four-wheeled car, still retaining the Rocker Vehicle’s colorful lights and sound effects, peaking as soon as it appeared.
All the monsters swarmed over.
Yu Jiang had just communicated with them in the team chat, mentioning her Attack Skill cooldown.
No big problem, they all still had skills.
Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy climbed onto the truck roof, pulled out the suona and played a tune first.
The Ice Zombies immediately turned into dancing kings swaying, sound control was much less effective on Mutated Beetles, but the brief movement slowdown was enough.
The team had no prior plan, but the five moved swiftly and in sync.
From the start, Kuang Kuang Kuang’s vehicle was covering for Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy, as soon as her skill went off, the remaining four drew weapons and charged.
Kuang Kuang Kuang nimbly climbed onto Yu Jiang’s RV roof using the vertical ladder, nocking an arrow on her bow.
Her bow and arrows had all been upgraded, with plenty of resources invested, her Attack Power much higher than during the previous instance.
Fighting Ice Zombies and Beetles like these with built-in shields, one shot might not kill, but she aimed accurately, and Critical Hits dealt impressive damage.
Hand Holding Cleaver wielded two axes chopping left and right, even Beetle hard shells could be smashed open, this was the cure for flashy Combat Power.
There was another, Shi Xu, with fast Movement Technique and precise strikes, very efficient.
Watching them, Yu Jiang also gauged the gap between herself and Combat Power masters.
She wore a Barbie pink down jacket, staying back conservatively, focused on Finishing Blows, stabbing when the monsters weren’t paying attention.
Monsters moved stealthily, trying to catch them off guard, but Yu Jiang was even more sneaky than the monsters.
An Ice Zombie missing an arm next to the vehicle had just crawled out, not yet able to show off, when Yu Jiang’s knife had already stabbed down.
This time luck was good, Critical Hit, Bleeding, Weakness all triggered together, one knife finished off the Sneaky Player sneaking into the fray.
With Kuang Kuang Kuang’s ranged attacks providing cover, Yu Jiang wasn’t panicked at all, she flexibly shifted positions, specializing in Low Health targets.
Ice Zombies and Mutated Beetles weren’t on the same side, zombies would attack Beetles too, but they were too fast to catch, and there were fresh humans right in front.
Yu Jiang and her team had drawn all the monsters from the entire area, the quantity was indeed a bit much, inevitably some spots would be overlooked.
Yu Jiang saw a legless Beetle leap up, pouncing toward Shi Xu’s nape.
She rushed forward without hesitation, swinging her bayonet to block the damage, Shi Xu, having just dealt with several Ice Zombies in front, instantly counterattacked with a knife, slicing the Beetle in half.
Shi Xu looked at Yu Jiang’s hand, voice coming from under the black mask, “Are you okay?”
They didn’t wear gloves too thick when needing to grip knives for attacks, the Beetle’s spikes had pierced through her glove in that instant.
“I’m fine, I can resist some of their toxin.” Yu Jiang said calmly.
“You’re here to help me grind monsters, I can’t just stand by and watch my Monster Toxin Supplier get hurt.”
With her own Poison Resistance, letting a teammate take this damage was somewhat unethical.
If teammates didn’t know, it was one thing, but if they found out later, who would trust her again.
However, reason was reason, but the Mutated Beetle’s spikes really hurt! To maintain the captain’s dignity, Yu Jiang didn’t make a sound, just used a Primary Healing Potion.
They put in quite some effort, finally clearing most of this wave of monsters, there were still some Ice Zombies behind they didn’t fight, directly driving 2 kilometers away to shake off tracking before stopping.
Yu Jiang had already collected Mutated Beetle toxin *62
4 left.
Picked up a few Silver Boxes roadside, collection achieved!
Everyone decisively got back in the vehicles, floored the accelerator to leave the Misfortune Card affected road section, on the way Yu Jiang even saw a steel coil stuck in a snow pile.
Of course that had to be knocked loose and recovered, earlier to rush and take down Sui Feng 220, plus not knowing the monster spawn situation, she had already missed one steel coil.
This one absolutely not! Knocked until sweating all over, finally obtained Steel Block *250.
Five vehicles stopped in front of the Abandoned House to rest, Yu Jiang conveniently settled the rewards with them.
Gas Card, Medicinal Herbs, Food, plus the Charging Card and Crystal Coins Kuang Kuang Kuang needed, 250 Steel Blocks went to Hand Holding Cleaver Chopping Wire and Pure Love Cockroach who urgently needed upgrades.
And for Yu Jiang, completing the mission in less than a day, being able to Level Up a skill was the most valuable gain.
Skills from Combat Power Ranking top two like Shi Xu and Hand Holding Cleaver Chopping Wire, plus First Echelon archer, strong control Apocalyptic Wanderer Artist, this stuff was definitely not expensive.
The rewards from Misfortune Card Hard Mode had also arrived, their team undoubtedly got the maximum rewards.
A bunch of Compressed Biscuits, Canned Food, and some Warm Supplies, Diesel, Kerosene, Gas Card, Charging Card and Crystal Coins, Yu Jiang didn’t take any and distributed them all, but everyone still gave her the Charging Cards.
Only Yu Jiang and Kuang Kuang Kuang here were driving Electric Cars.
“Don’t you want an extra Charging Card?” Yu Jiang looked at Kuang Kuang Kuang.
“No need, my coin-operated start vehicle is pretty cost-effective too, and I didn’t do much, just shot some arrows from the roof.” Saying that, Kuang Kuang Kuang looked toward Yu Jiang’s RV,
“Captain Jiang, can I go up and take a look? An RV! I don’t mean anything else, just a bit curious.”
Yu Jiang opened the car door, making a welcoming gesture.
She was also checking out Shi Xu’s six-wheeled Off-road Vehicle, shape very similar to INKAS Sentry, even a bit larger in size, looked very cool, Off-road Vehicle with defense comparable to Armored Vehicle, should be great at creating chaos.
“I want to see too!” Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy raised her hand.
“All our own people, look around freely, how about we all have a meal together later?” Yu Jiang suggested.
Found the previous Defense value was miscalculated~ I’ll revise it again
