Mystery makes me strong

Chapter 2719 Doomsday Awakening
After hearing this, Zhang Meng decided to think about it.

At least he had to collect enough information before considering awakening.

He returned to the ruins of the church, surrounded by the desolate scene of the end of the world.

He looked around for someone else to ask.

As expected, other people also knew about the awakening, but they didn't dare to go.

"That's too dangerous. The last time old Tom tried to go there, he came back with only one hand left."

"It was later canned. What a pity. After all, it was 120 kilograms of meat and bones."

"Ugh..." Hearing this, Zhang Meng's stomach twitched violently in his abdominal cavity.

He almost vomited.

But the people around them seem to take it for granted.

Of course he could also understand that there were many records in history of people cannibalizing each other due to ordinary famines.

What’s more, it’s the end of the world now?
He ran to the corner and tried hard to hold back his vomiting. He couldn't let others see his weakness.

Every time his stomach twitched, it was like reminding him that this was a new beginning and also a cruel test. He knew that to survive in this apocalypse, he had to rely on strength, wisdom, and most importantly, courage.

If you don't hang up, you have to gamble your life.

Or just live numbly day by day and eventually die.

In comparison, Li Cang, this guy with a cheat, seems like the protagonist of a novel, with three white girls and a bunch of cannon fodder.

As night fell, the survivors gathered around a bonfire in the church yard.

Their faces showed fatigue and vigilance.

Today we had the usual food, mashed potatoes with a little salt, nothing good to eat.

The only thing that proves it is food in the modern world is one vitamin pill per person.

These are important supplies found in the foggy area.

After dinner, everyone went to rest.

Then Li Cang asked people to take turns to keep watch.

They knew that night was when the monsters were most active.

In the middle of the night, a low roar broke the silence of the night and the survivors immediately became nervous.

They picked up their weapons and prepared to fight.

Zhang Meng also came out of his dormitory immediately.

He was assigned an iron pipe.

Among the others, most used homemade shotguns, but some also had standard AKs and pistols.

There were very few people holding melee weapons and shields. Zhang Meng thought that they were newcomers like himself.

Everyone came to the church fence and began to stare at the dark night outside.

The torch barely illuminated an area of ​​five or six meters.

A group of monsters rushed out from the darkness.

"Dark Hound!"

"Everyone be careful, fire!"

The hounds' eyes were flashing red and their mouths were dripping with corrosive saliva.

The survivors opened fire.

The bullets drew streaks of fire in the night sky and hit the monster's body with a dull sound.

Soon the hounds fell to the ground one after another.

Li Cang stood at the back. He looked around coldly but did not take any action.

Zhang Meng was allowed to stand around him.

He really wanted to know, could bullets be made here?
But if you think about it carefully, this seems to be a Western background, so there will definitely be no shortage of bullets.

Unless Doomsday has corrosive power, you have to know that there are too many Western arms stores, and bullets are counted in billions.

But there seemed to be not many guns, and many people were using homemade guns.

Soon, the hounds reached the fence and were stopped by the ditch and the fence.

This allows the shotgun to perform with full power.

They were beaten to death one by one.

Just as Zhang Meng breathed a sigh of relief, Li Cang frowned and listened carefully to something.

Sure enough, after the hounds, a particularly powerful monster appeared - the Iron Skin Zombie.

There were three of them in total.

Their skin is as hard as iron and ordinary bullets cannot penetrate it.

They are so powerful that one punch can punch through a wall and one kick can make the ground shake.

This made Zhang Meng feel worried.

And Li Cang finally stood at the forefront.

There was only indifference in his eyes.

He pulled out a large alloy sword from somewhere, rushed forward, and started a fierce battle with the iron zombie.

Zhang Meng immediately realized that the other party might have "space".

Everyone stopped shooting and looked at each other nervously.

The skin of the iron zombie was extremely hard, and Li Cang's alloy sword could only leave a shallow mark on its body.

The iron zombie's counterattack was fierce and swift. Its fist hit Li Cang's sword hard, making a deafening roar.

Li Cang also seemed to feel unprecedented pressure.

Fortunately, the three iron zombies did not cooperate with each other. The other two zombies just stood aside, staring at Li Cang and drooling.

This made Zhang Meng very strange.

The zombie didn't seem to be interested in them.

At this time, Li Cang was looking for a way to defeat the monster.

He was observing the movements of the Iron Zombie, trying to find its weakness.

Finally he discovered that the joints of the Iron Zombie were its only weakness.

The skin there is relatively thin and the defense is weaker.

And every time I move, my joints make a sound under the strain.

Li Cang took a deep breath and his eyes turned cold.

He began to adjust his fighting style.

He no longer confronted the Iron Zombie head-on, but began to flexibly dodge its attacks and look for opportunities to attack its joints.

After a fierce battle, Li Cang finally found an opportunity. He stabbed the iron zombie's joint with a sword, and the iron zombie roared in pain.

Its movements became sluggish.

Li Cang took the opportunity to launch a final attack. His sword pierced deeply into the neck of the iron zombie, and then he chopped off the opponent's head with one sword.

The first big iron zombie finally fell.

However, at this time, the second big zombie came into the battle.

Zhang Meng always felt a sense of disharmony when watching this scene.

This is truly a doomsday game, with monsters coming one after another.

In doomsday games that are slightly more real-time, there will also be situations where monsters are besieging you.

Fortunately, this works in their favor.

If three monster zombies really attacked at the same time, Li Cang would probably find it difficult to deal with them.

After a battle finally ended, Li Cang stood next to the corpses of three iron-clad zombies.

His body was soaked with sweat and his breathing was rapid.

Everyone rushed forward to help.

Someone brought drinks, someone wiped sweat, and someone brought a lounge chair.

Li Cang didn't hesitate and sat on it directly.

Everyone knew that this battle had consumed a lot of his physical energy.

Zhang Meng understood more clearly that Li Cang really needed more help.

The other party is not lying.

At this time, Li Cang's eyes fell on Zhang Meng and other survivors.

There was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

He was unwilling to let others awaken in the past.

Because he was worried that the awakened power would make them lose control.

He thought that he would be the king of this city.

He is living a much better life now than before the end of the world.

There are women, subordinates, food and drink.

It's just hateful that the monsters will become stronger and stronger.

If three of them attack him together today, he will have no choice but to run away.

The person living in the doomsday is worse off than before the doomsday.

He thought to himself that it was time to give in.

He needs more power to fight these monsters.

"I need more power now," Li Cang said while standing in the ruins of the church after resting. "I am willing to help you wake up, but you must promise that you will use this power to protect everyone." Zhang Meng and the other survivors looked at each other.

They were all very excited.

In fact, they have wanted this kind of power for a long time.

But Li Cang concealed the information very strictly.

I just talked about the general process: entering the fog, killing monsters, and getting the gift.

There are no details at all.

What does the monster look like?
What dangers are there in the fog?

What are the gifts?

None of these.

No wonder several people who rashly went in to awaken all died.

Without intelligence, how many people can figure out the strategy right the first time?
This is reality, not a game, and everyone has only one life.

If you want to pass the level, you have to sacrifice the lives of thousands of people to find a way out.

If the successful person does not share his experience, the people who come after him will have to repeat the same price.

There was a hint of determination in everyone's eyes.

They know this is their only chance.

As for promises, just say them casually.

Zhang Meng knew that they wouldn’t take it seriously.

The final decision of keeping the promise still lies in Li Cang's power and whether he can suppress others.

"I am willing to promise," Zhang Meng said, "I will use this power to protect everyone."

Others followed suit.

In fact, in Zhang Meng's view, Li Cang should just express his loyalty to him directly.

And you have to use a high-sounding name.

In fact, it is to reduce the resistance of neutral people, to have more informants in times of crisis, and to have more control over this church camp.

Li Cang nodded, and there seemed to be a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

Then he began to select five people.

Among them is Zhang Meng.

They came to the backyard of a church.

Li Cang began to teach the five people how to awaken.

"If you want to awaken, you need to train yourself and bring your body up to the physical fitness level of a normal athlete."

"So at the beginning, I will give you adequate nutrition. This will last for two weeks to improve your physical fitness."

"Then you will enter the foggy area, and I will lead you in."

"I will circle some designated monsters, and then you will kill them individually."

After hearing this, everyone realized that there was such a simple way.

No wonder everyone who wanted to awaken on their own before died.

They must have encountered a monster that was too difficult, which is why they failed.

"Okay, I'll take Zhang Meng over first, and the four of you can continue training."

No one objected to Li Cang's words.

Because Zhang Meng has the best physique.

They saw it too.

This is normal. Zhang Meng comes from a modern city. Although his physical fitness is not good, he has not experienced the ravages of doomsday. These days of training and physical labor have restored his physical fitness to that of a normal person.

……

Five days later.

Zhang Meng followed Li Cang and entered the fog area amid the envious eyes of others.

One of the white girls even winked at him.

I have to say, this foreigner is really open-minded.

The foggy area is a place full of unknowns, and various monsters are hidden in the fog.

Their eyes often flash red in the mist.

There are often various corrosive venoms in their mouths.

Zhang Meng and Li Cang walked carefully through the fog, their eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

Li Cang led him while explaining the information about the foggy area.

This made Zhang Meng a little strange. Why didn’t the other party tell him in advance?

It also allows me to think and remember carefully.

Soon, Li Cang brought Zhang Meng to an abandoned gymnasium.

"Here, there is a powerful monster. I will weaken it first, and then you will step forward and kill it."

As he spoke, Li Cang handed him an axe.

Zhang Meng saw that the other party did have space.

The axe appeared out of thin air.

Then Li Cang was the first to enter the sports hall.

Not long after, a humanoid monster over three meters tall appeared.

Its eyes are like burning coals and its skin is as hard as iron.

Li Cang waved the sword in his hand again and started a fierce battle with the monster.

Zhang Meng stood aside.

There was a hint of nervousness in his eyes, and he knew that this was his best chance to awaken.

If you still fail even if you have a big one with you, then there’s no point in playing.

At this time, Li Cang obviously showed stronger strength.

Zhang Meng suddenly realized that the opponent was stronger than he and others had expected.

It was obvious that Li Cang had some reservations.

The other party wants to see which people are unstable.

Before long, the tall humanoid monster began to lose its strength.

It was panting and had already started to lie on the ground gasping for breath.

Li Cang immediately shouted loudly: "Zhang Meng, now is the time for you to wake up, come and kill him!"

Zhang Meng took a deep breath, his eyes full of determination.

He rushed towards the monster, a powerful force surging in his body.

He raised the axe and hit the monster hard, making a dull sound.

Not long after, the humanoid monster was chopped to death by Zhang Meng like chopping wood.

He was very excited.

It turns out that awakening is so simple.

This is the game.

The main character leads the smaller characters to complete the quest, just like Diablo, and they can reach the hell level in an hour.

It may take even one or two months to complete the game if you play with a small account by yourself.

With the help of Li Cang, Zhang Meng quickly awakened.

He only felt his own strength growing rapidly and his body becoming stronger.

There was a new power in his eyes.

He is now an awakened person like Li Cang who can defeat monsters.

Zhang Meng felt more and more that with a strong man like Li Cang leading the way, the awakening process became extremely rapid.

Just like in the game, the big account leads the small account, with the help of the strong, the originally difficult job transfer task becomes much easier.

But why didn’t the other party help others before?

Of course, he also knew that this was probably Li Cang's attempt to monopolize the right to speak in the survivor camp.

The two then returned to the church.

At this moment, there was a hint of confusion in Zhang Meng's eyes.

He only remembered that after a hard battle, he finally awakened and he finally gained new power.

But he didn't know the specific process.

He should have forgotten everything Li Cang had said!
Li Cang looked at Zhang Meng with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

"You were doing well before," he said, "but now, you need to learn how to control your power."

Zhang Meng put his mind at ease.

He simply nodded, a look of determination in his eyes.

He wants to live.

No matter how hard or difficult it is, he has to live.

He knew that he had to train harder and he had to learn how to use this new power.
