Chapter 53 First Arrival at Haimen
In modern people"s understanding, abilities were new powers. Although there were people around the world who awakened abilities, there was no systematic method of cultivating abilities. Adepts could only rely on themselves to slowly explore.
After awakening their abilities, although they were much stronger than ordinary humans, ordinary Adepts were not necessarily opponents of ordinary humans wearing colonial armor.
If an Adept wanted to strengthen their abilities, the only methods they knew were to use mutated plants and injections.
However, neither mutated plants nor potions could be easily obtained from cabbages on the roadside. Cultivating an Adept required too many resources. Even the military and the government could not obtain so many resources to cultivate an Adept on a large scale.
After Kong Yun awakened his ability for a few months, he was able to possess such formidable strength. Adequate resources were the most important reason for him to become a B-cla.s.s Adept.
Kong Yun awakened a metal ability, and he was able to strengthen it by devouring metal. This was an advantage that other abilities didn"t possess.
The cultivation method that all the Adepts were searching for actually appeared in front of Kong Yun.
Kong Yun"s eyes lit up as he looked at the book "Imperial Swordsmanship" in his hand. Without a doubt, this was a cultivation technique for special abilities. Although the name was "Imperial Swordsmanship", it was not important. What was important was its connotation.
After the special ability in his body circulated along the route of the Imperial Sword Technique, it increased by a point. Furthermore, the special ability in his body started to circulate automatically along this route. This meant that even if Kong Yun did not swallow metal and inject medicine, his metal special ability would continue to grow stronger.
If Kong Yun had only guessed before, then he was now certain that the mysterious spells in Chinese myths and legends were closely related to abilities.
After closing the Imperial Sword Technique and putting it into his interspatial ring, Kong Yun took out the three palm-sized pill bottles. The ancient patterns unplugged the corks of the bottles. The fragrance from the pill bottles shook Kong Yun"s spirit.
Kong Yun had also heard of the wonders of medicinal pills. He didn"t know if these pills were as miraculous as the legends had it. After eating them, he would be able to live forever.
He stuffed three bottles of pills into his interspatial ring and went to the Shanghai Gate to see if he could detect the ingredients of these pills. Kong Yun did not dare to rashly swallow the pills. In the history of China, there were many people who died because of randomly swallowing the pills. Kong Yun did not want to be the next one.
As for the wooden stick that was as long as an arm, Kong Yun glanced at it for a few times and didn"t see anything special. He threw it back into his interspatial ring.
Even Kong Yun hadn"t expected that his harvest this time would be so great. Not only did he obtain the flying sword and armor from the zombie, he also accidentally obtained a spatial ring. The biggest harvest came from this spatial ring. The value of the [Imperial Swordsmanship] cultivation technique was immeasurable.
The armored train was traveling at full speed. Although there were often zombies pouncing on the roof of the armored train, they were unable to tear apart the defense of the armored train. Instead, they were blown to the bottom of the armored train by the wind and crushed into meat sauce.
Kong Yun walked towards the rear carriage with his Blazing Spear. According to the armored train, it would still take two days to reach Haimen City. Kong Yun wanted to make sure that they had enough food within these two days.
If Kong Yun remembered correctly, the armored train had a carriage that was specially used for storing food.
However, when Kong Yun looked at the half of the carriage that had been melted, he could only helplessly shake his head. The last two carriages were used to store food, but when he left Zhan Long City, the two carriages were destroyed by the fire zombies. In other words, they had no food for the past two days and could only starve.
Kong Yun did not tell the children about this news. He still had a few pieces of jerky in his backpack. In two days, it should be enough for the nine children to save some food.
As for Kong Yun, he was able to minimize his consumption when cultivating his abilities. Even if he didn"t eat or drink, it wouldn"t be a problem for him to last through these two hours. No matter how bad it was, he could still eat metal. This armored train was made of metal, so he didn"t have to worry about food.
"Clang! Clang!" The armored train suddenly trembled violently, as if something was. .h.i.tting the armored train.
"What happened?" Kong Yun looked at Xiao Hao. Xiao Hao"s blood-red eyes looked at the top of his head, and his face was filled with horror.
"Zombie, a zombie is hammering the armored train!" Xiao Hao cried out in alarm.
"Zombies?" Kong Yun frowned. What zombie could destroy an armored train?
"Bang!" Another loud noise rang out, and the armor on the top of the armored train caved in. Another attack would probably shatter it.
Kong Yun snorted and stabbed the Blazing Flame Spear through the sunken armor!
"Clang!" A huge force shook Kong Yunhu"s mouth to the point of numbness. The armor on top of it was completely shattered. A zombie about four to five meters tall opened its eyes and roared. Mucus flew everywhere!
However, Kong Yun"s attention was focused on the zombie"s arms. His right arm was especially thick, and his palm had completely deformed. It was like a hammer. His left arm was relatively slender, and his palm was also completely deformed into a sickle.
The right-handed sledgehammer and the left-handed scythe were comparable to t.i.tan zombies. This was a type of zombie that Kong Yun had never seen before. It should be a new type of zombie!
"You guys retreat to the back of the carriage and try your best to retreat!" Kong Yun ordered the nine children to retreat quickly. This zombie was obviously not to be trifled with. If he waved his hand, he would probably hurt these children.
"Roar!" The zombie roared as it jumped down, and the sledgehammer in its right hand smashed down!
"Ding!" Kong Yun took advantage of the situation and intercepted halfway. The tip of the spear was pointed at the sledgehammer!
"So hard!" Kong Yun"s heart trembled. This zombie"s armor seemed to be harder than a t.i.tan zombie"s!
At this moment of distraction, Kong Yun felt the back of his head turn cold. He lowered his head and swept his sickle over, scaring Kong Yun to the point that his heart and liver almost exploded. This zombie actually knew how to divert attention.
Now that the zombie was getting harder and harder to deal with, and even knew how to divert attention, the days were getting harder and harder.
"Bang!" He kicked the zombie in the abdomen and threw the Blazing Flame Spear at the zombie!
"Bang!" The zombie"s right arm defended, and the sledgehammer smashed down the Blazing Flame Spear!
However, a cold light streaked across the zombie"s neck. A black line appeared on the armor-wrapped neck, and the zombie"s head slipped off!
"Pu!" The zombie"s body smashed onto the deck like a stone. The cut was smooth and smooth. It was hard to imagine that the zombie"s armor could withstand the Blazing Spear!
"Isn"t this flying sword too f.u.c.king sharp?" Kong Yun couldn"t help but curse. Being able to save his life under this flying sword was truly lucky.
This zombie was obviously stronger than a t.i.tan zombie, but it was weaker than a Super t.i.tan zombie, between a t.i.tan zombie and a Super t.i.tan zombie.
Hard armor, a hammer and sickle that combined strength and attack. One-on-one, even Kong Yun would have to expend a lot of effort.
However, Kong Yun, who possessed the PaG.o.da Sword, easily killed him and diverted attention. This kind of tactic was much better than a zombie slipping away.
However, Kong Yun hadn"t expected that besides the fire zombies and super t.i.tan zombies, there would also be such a new type of zombie. The zombie"s evolution speed was much faster than Kong Yun had imagined.
Looking at the big hole above his head, Kong Yun shook his head. It was not good to open the skylight. He raised his hand and a piece of liquid metal stuck to the hole, gradually spreading out. After filling the hole, it quickly hardened. The hole repaired with volcanic crystal iron was no less defensive than the original armor.
"Look, what is that!" Xiao Hao had good eyesight and was the first to discover a distant city.
A city near the sea, the number one city in China, Haimen City!
The Tian Qi virus originated from the ocean. Sea creatures were the first to be infected by the Tian Qi virus. The mutated beasts in the ocean were much stronger than the mutated beasts on land. Haimen City could still exist near the ocean. One could imagine how powerful the defense of Haimen City was.
Haimen City was already right in front of them. Kong Yun and the nine children looked excitedly at Haimen City in the distance. Once they entered Haimen City, they would be safe. This was a city second only to Tianjing City, the capital of China, and they would use Haimen City that did not fall!
Five kilometers away from Haimen City, there were several satellite cities guarding Haimen City. If one wanted to enter Haimen City, they had to pa.s.s through these satellite cities.
Once the armored train arrived at Satellite City, it would be unable to move forward. All of them would have to be inspected here. The transaction of goods would also be completed in Satellite City. If one wanted to enter Haimen City, they would have to undergo a strict inspection to make sure that there were no wounds on their bodies and that they did not carry the Heavenly Awakening Virus before entering.
Kong Yun stopped the armored train. The inspection forces of Haimen City immediately surrounded the armored train. All the guns in their hands were aimed at the armored train. If Kong Yun and the others made any unusual movements, they would be mercilessly shot by the inspection.
Although Kong Yun did not think that the guns in the hands of these inspection units could injure him, in order to safely enter Haimen City, Kong Yun still raised his hands.
"Where does this train come from?" Yan Jiu asked as he looked at the heavily damaged armored train.
"Commander, we escaped from Zhanlong City. Zhanlong City has been destroyed by zombies. We managed to seize this bright armored train and escape." Kong Yun said.
"Battle Dragon City, a small city at the third level. It"s strange that it was destroyed." A trace of disdain appeared on Yan Jiu"s face. In his opinion, a rank three city like Zhan Long City was not worth mentioning. He could not even withstand a mere zombie siege. Haimen City was by the sea, and even the Mutated Beast siege was blocked. He had the right to be proud.
However, when Yan Jiu stepped onto the armored train, his expression changed drastically. He retreated one after another, his face filled with fear, "Death Sickle, Death Sickle Zombie!"
