Chapter 145: Sand Worm

Li Qiang wanted to ask something but he saw the others follow Ye Zhongming right away so he just silently followed.

His questions only lasted a few seconds. When they entered the south district, the trembling of the ground continued.

As an evolved, he could clearly sense that the shaking came from ahead which was where the team was heading.

“The Sand Worms are coming!”

Ye Zhongming was ice cold. He ran while explaining to the people around him.

“They only have one ability. Apart from their own body’s strength, their only skill is digging. The shaking is because they are destroying the foundations of the south district walls.”

“What?”

Li Qiang lost his voice, “Doesn’t that mean, doesn’t that mean…”

Ye Zhongming nodded, “The foundations aren’t enough to block the sandworms. The cement and stone pieces added between the buildings have no foundations so they probably will collapse soon.”

“Then you…”

Li Qiang didn’t finish but everyone knew what he meant.

If the walls collapsed then those thousands of zombies and monsters would charge in. Wouldn’t it be impossible for the few of them to block them?

What was the difference between charging to their deaths!?

The others didn’t say anything but they thought the same thing. But they were just used to listening to Ye Zhongming so they didn’t raise it up.

“That is because we are the only people in the base that can stop all this.”

Little Tiger didn’t show any fear at all and even teased Ye Zhongming, “Boss, when did you become so kind-hearted?”

Ye Zhongming laughed and didn’t bother about Little Tiger, “Of course I am not kind, I need this base still so I can’t see it collapse.”

He paused and felt the strong shaking beneath his feet. He explained, “The Sandworm broke the foundations and the buildings will collapse. Listen, they will collapse, after they collapse they will turn into ruins that can still block the zombies. What we need to do is just to kill the worms. When they aren’t causing trouble, we can strengthen the ruins so this base can still be guarded.”

Everyone heard what Ye Zhongming said and they finally relaxed. If not, if they were asked to face such an ocean of zombies, anyone would lose courage.

“Hong!”

There was a giant explosion from ahead. Everyone looked as if the wall made of stone and cement had collapsed. Along with the explosion, an entire part of the wall fell to the ground and caused dust to billow.

A black figure dashed across but it was hidden in the dust.

The wall was over ten meters tall but it was less than half now, around 2-3 stories tall. Maybe it was due to the reduction in height but one could hear the shouts of the zombies much more clearly now.

The people who had calmed down in the south panicked once more. This time they weren’t totally confused like at night but they personally saw the wall collapse. They couldn’t suppress their fears and started to run deeper into the base.

“Fire!”

Ye Zhongming ordered coldly and also raised his Moon Edge.

The survivors were charging at them and if they didn’t stop them, they would get stuck there. Then, the zombies would really charge in.

The people with guns hesitated for a moment. Only after Ye Zhongming shouted once more did they fire.

Those headless chickens split to the sides to give some space for the team.

Ye Zhongming led the way and charged up the ruins.

A giant bug had drilled out from behind the ruins. It had a giant body, over 15 meters long and 2 meters wide that made it look like a giant centipede.

The only difference was that it didn’t have that many legs. It only had a pair of thick limbs in three different parts of its body.

The most obvious one was its head. It was sharp and had a spiral pattern, like a giant drill. It gave off a metallic glow. Beneath its spike head was a huge mouth that was eating the dirt and stone. It passed through its long body and went to its tail! After it passed through, it turned into sand bits.

This was the sandworm, a monster siege weapon. Many survivor bases were destroyed due to these worms.

These worms could drill holes in the ground. Even the tough stone couldn’t block their sharp heads. Moreover, they had a special ability. Which was that their intestines were a weird digestive tool. Stone, bricks, cement, and even normal steel would turn into bits that got excreted.

Human structures were like paper to them.

Ye Zhongming came here by pure accident and only entered to get some things. But when he saw the zombies and mutated monsters around, especially since he knew about the two star gachapon, his thoughts changed. He wanted to use this base to do something.

This thing needed a perfect base, a base that wasn’t broken through.

Now these sandworms had disrupted his plan so what he had to do was to kill them.

Ye Zhongming had just evolved and his body was at its peak. He held Moon Edge and locked onto the sandworm that was chewing on stone. This level two mutated life form didn’t realise that its death was coming.

Only when Ye Zhongming stabbed its body did it see its enemy?

Sandworm not being very sharp was one of its weakness.

Moon Edge’s sharpness allowed Ye Zhongming to have an advantage once more. The strength of a two star evolved gave him enough confidence. He slashed twice and sliced off the legs of the sandworm before dodging the black liquid that spurted out.

“Slice off the legs in the middle to restrict its movement. Then stab that armor two meters away from its tail, below it is its heart!”

Ye Zhongming’s voice spread into their ears and he taught them how to deal with the sandworm.

While speaking, Ye Zhongming’s body didn’t stop. He jumped on the body of the sandworm and dashed to its tail. It slashed with Moon Edge and stabbed into this part of the armor that was lighter in color.

“Dodge its blood, it is a neural toxin and it will turn your body stiff for many days.”

Ye Zhongming retreated after pulling his blade out to complete the demonstration of how to kill them.

This sandworm trembled and after giving out two cries, it died.

The people who charged up the ruins wanted to heave a sigh of relief but they felt the ruins beneath them shaking. A few seconds later, numerous places had stones flying about as many black figures appeared on the surface.

5 sandworms surrounded everyone within.
