Mystery makes me strong

Chapter 2720 The increasingly difficult crisis

Two weeks later, inside the church.

Zhang Meng's eyes were heavy and the atmosphere was depressing.

Everyone was silent.

He just got the news.

Li Cang led the other four survivors into the fog area, hoping to awaken their powers.

But the end of the world is cruel, and only two people successfully awakened.

The other two fell forever in the mist.

Zhang Meng stood aside, feeling something was wrong.

There was a hint of confusion in his eyes, and he had lost his previous memory.

If he still remembered, he should understand that Li Cang did all this on purpose.

Although he didn't remember it, he had a feeling that awakening seemed to be a very ordinary and simple thing.

After all, he could tell from the injuries on his body.

There were no wounds on his body.

Li Cang said calmly: "Three out of five will awaken, the chance is still good."

"Yes, the probability is as high as 60%. I will also awaken next time." said another short black man.

Li Cang nodded at him: "Wu Gang, very good, next time there will be one for you."

"Thank you, boss." The black man nodded quickly.

Others also started laughing: "Yeah, only two people died, which is very few. Think about it, in our community, only ten people survived."

"There were more than a thousand people in my school, but only five survived."

Everyone quickly dispelled the gloom of death, and then held a banquet that night.

Together, the three demonstrated new powers.

Strength, agility, endurance, and vision are all improved comprehensively.

The shooting got better too.

One's own resistance also becomes stronger, and one can withstand bullets hitting the body.

It can be said that once awakened, it immediately becomes a tiger-like existence in the food chain.

……

Just two days passed after they had held the banquet.

The second wave of doomsday attacks has arrived again.

Of course, this was the second time Zhang Meng had experienced this.

Suddenly, a sharp whistle was heard in the early morning, and a group of skeleton archers fell from the sky.

There was a faint green light flashing in their eyes as they pounced towards the church camp.

As soon as he got close, he shot out sharp bone arrows with the bone bow in his hand.

The bone arrows stuck into the church and began to burn with green flames.

The survivors immediately became alert.

They were not in chaos.

They first dodged in all directions and tried to fight back, but the bone arrows fell like raindrops.

Fortunately, they built a lot of defensive facilities in the yard, otherwise, many lives would have been taken away.

Li Cang's face was solemn and he stood up immediately.

They must take action.

"Take out all the steel shields you made!" he shouted.

The survivors sprang into action.

They took out steel shields.

On weekdays, they collect all the metals they can find and use lathes to process them into shields and armor.

On weekdays, they knocked out many shields.

It is just right to use it to resist bone arrows.

After Zhang Meng woke up, he immediately launched a counterattack.

Now his physical attributes were greatly enhanced, and his eyes shone with new power.

He picked up a sniper rifle, which had just been assigned to him and he had only been familiar with it for two days.

But he is already very skilled. After all, he is now physically very strong and can shoot very steadily, and the arrows he shoots go in a straight line.

As long as you shoot steadily, your shooting skills will improve quickly.

He reached a high point in the church and shot the skeleton archer with great precision.

Each of his shots hit the skeleton archers' heads accurately, turning them into a pile of broken bones.

His marksmanship was deadly and swift, making him the key on the battlefield.

Li Cang quickly commanded the others, and under the cover of Zhang Meng, they began to hide behind shields in an orderly manner and also fight back with guns.

The number of skeleton shooters gradually decreased.

Finally, the last skeleton archer shattered on the ground.

Among the survivors, only one was accidentally scratched by an arrow.

A doctor quickly used a scalpel to cut off the injured part to prevent it from being burned by the green fire.

Just as the skeleton archer was knocked back, the ground began to shake.

A skeleton knight riding a bone horse rushed out of the mist again.

Zhang Meng took a deep breath. He was used to it.

After a group of monsters, a BOSS comes.

I saw red light flashing in the eyes of this skeleton knight and waving the bone sword in his hand.

Every swing brought a powerful shock wave that hit the wall directly, causing the church's defense wall to be shaken.

You know, this is a three-layer structure made of bricks, tiles, concrete and steel.

What everyone does on a daily basis is to strengthen this line of defense.

It is conceivable that if everyone was hiding outside, it would easily take the lives of every survivor.

Even for the Awakened, it would be difficult to fight directly if they were not veterans.

This guy has a horse, which is a huge advantage.

Li Cang's expression also became serious.

He hadn't taken any action just now when dealing with the skeleton archer.

And now he knew that it would be difficult to defeat this Skeleton Knight with his own strength.

He needs help.

Because the opponent has the advantage in mobility.

"Zhang Meng, you three awakened ones, come with me!" he shouted.

The four men dispersed in four directions and began to besiege the Skeleton Knight.

Zhang Meng's marksmanship was still deadly, and his bullets kept hitting the Skeleton Knight.

But the Skeleton Knight was too mobile and it dodged the attacks flexibly.

The other three were running around.

And the most important thing is that if the injuries cannot be superimposed in one place, the opponent will recover slowly.

After a fierce battle, they finally found the Skeleton Knight's weakness.

In a perfect coordination, Zhang Meng's bullet hit the Skeleton Knight's eye.

The Skeleton Knight didn't have time to dodge.

Li Cang took the opportunity to pierce its head with his sword.

The Skeleton Knight let out a final roar and then fell to the ground.

"Finally we've won." sighed a white man.

He was almost killed by the Skeleton Knight's sword, but Zhang Meng supported him with his gun.

This made him somewhat grateful to Zhang Meng.

At the same time, he had some unusual thoughts in his mind.

He felt that Li Cang seemed a little disappointed.

Could it be that the other party wants me to die?

But if I am going to let myself die, why should I wake myself up again?
……

After Zhang Meng returned, he recalled the thrilling scene that had just happened.

He has already noticed it.

The white man nearly died.

Li Cang’s plan is actually this: the awakened ones need to have it.

But it's best to consume a few after each crisis.

Could it be that the strength of this camp is related to the danger level of Doomsday?

Is this the same rule as the main god space?

Even so, the difficulty will eventually increase, and there will still be a final battle.

If we weaken our own strength now, we can only survive for a short period of time.

Li Cang looks like a protagonist, so he wouldn't be so short-sighted, right?

He stood in the ruins of the church, staring into the distance through the broken windows.

He understands now.

This doomsday game is a challenge one after another, and every crisis is a test of survival. He began to think.

Is there any secret hidden in this game world that could be the key to their survival?

Oh, if only that little girl could give herself a chance to hang herself.

He is not greedy, he just wants to kill monsters and level up.

There is no requirement to create something out of nothing.

Unfortunately not.

……

Life goes on afterwards.

During a late night patrol, Zhang Meng and Li Cang discovered some unusual signs.

That was a sign that someone was spying.

They followed the traces left by each other and eventually came to a hidden community.

There is also a camp in that community.

This camp is a large villa, more than 500 meters away from the surrounding buildings.

This camp was different from any camp they had encountered before. Everyone in this camp was awakened.

This discovery surprised Zhang Meng a little.

He didn't know why the other party created so many awakened people.

And Li Cang clearly only created a few of them.

He didn't know what their purpose was.

The two then observed for a while and discovered an even more terrifying fact: the other party was made up of men, not a single woman.

The two of them left quietly with doubts.

However, two days later, the other party's people took the initiative to appear outside the church camp.

There were six of them, all awakened.

Everyone’s strength is similar to Li Cang’s.

They made one request - to annex their camp, saying it was necessary for survival.

"We should unite, otherwise, the subsequent attacks will become more and more difficult." said the other party.

Li Cang looked at everyone.

No one wants to be merged by them.

Zhang Meng felt something was wrong.

He posed a question: "Why are there only men there?"

The other person was silent for a while.

One of the tall white men laughed and said, "That is God's will."

"Only if you join us can you know this secret."

The others suddenly felt a little scared.

Li Cang shook his head and said, "You guys go."

"Haha, you will agree sooner or later." The tall white man did not resort to direct force, but looked greedily at the three women in the yard.

Then the six left.

As soon as they left, everyone started discussing nervously.

"There must be something wrong with them."

"Yeah, I'm afraid they want us to be cannon fodder."

No one has died these days.

Apart from the two people who died during awakening, they were relatively safe.

In this situation, they are not willing to join others rashly.

That represented a huge risk, especially for three women.

This night.

Zhang Meng suddenly saw a note that the tall white man threw at him with a stone.

"There are no women, that's because we need sacrifices."

This sentence made Zhang Meng realize the seriousness of the problem.

This is an amazing secret, he thought to himself.

I'm afraid the people in that camp gained the power of awakening through sacrifice.

Of course in the apocalypse, survival is everyone's top priority.

But the people of this camp chose a different path.

They believed that by sacrificing women to the gods they could gain strength and a chance to survive.

Zhang Meng naturally thought this was wrong.

In comparison, Li Cang is much more merciful than them.

At least three out of five people awakened.

However, every time they awaken someone, they kill one or more women.

Zhang Meng decided to go out and meet the tall white man.

There's no use hiding.

The campsite is here.

He quietly left the church.

The tall white man was standing under a tree, waiting for him.

"Let me tell you, the danger will increase as we go further."

"You still have three women here. You can sacrifice them to gain strength and overcome greater crises."

Zhang Meng frowned and said, "But what will happen next? Without women, civilization will be extinct!"

"Hahaha, you're such a fool. Who cares about something so far away? It's enough to survive the remaining fifty years." The tall white man sneered.

"But women are limited after all." Zhang Meng shook his head.

"It's okay. We can also turn men into women. Don't you know that we have more than a hundred kinds of knowledge here?" The tall white man looked at Zhang Meng in surprise.

"In that case, why not use the extra men from the beginning?"

"Of course it's to appease others. I say this to keep the other men in your church calm." The tall white man smiled.

What a sinister boss-like character.

Zhang Meng then rejected the other party: "This is too cruel, I won't agree to it."

"Idiot, you have never seen real danger. You are just one step away from a crisis. If you don't break through your original bottom line, you will not be able to survive the apocalypse."

"You are from the East, right? You should have seen how humans were passed down in history, right? People ate each other to survive the last moment of famine and pass on civilization."

“We are being more merciful by doing this now,” the tall white man sneered.

Zhang Meng was silent.

He turned and went back.

At the same time, be secretly vigilant.

Fortunately, the tall white man did not attack him.

In the days that followed, each attack became more and more difficult.

Li Cang had to awaken more people to assist him.

However, this is just a temporary solution, because the enemy's strength is also increasing rapidly.

If the newly awakened person cannot maximize his own power, if he cannot grow himself vigorously, then he will spend more than he earns.

Later, Zhang Meng discovered that Li Cang began to change.

He became more careful.

He discovered that Li Cang was secretly spying on another camp.
