Armor: I started with Watt at my peak

Chapter 58: Ruins, 7 Years

"Searching for resources...where is your destination?" Li Chen thought for a moment and then asked. He was planning to follow these four people.

Hearing Li Chen say this, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up, he knew there was hope, and hurriedly said: "Senior, what we want to find is a former prefecture-level city.

This place has not been explored yet, and there should be a lot of resources left in it. We are the 076th team of the Suzaku Guard City Resource Search Team. This time we are out of the city to search for resources under the order of the city's general."

"Suzaku guards the city, the general defending the city..." Li Chen did not say anything, but analyzed the middle-aged man's words in his mind.

hum!

An invisible wave swept across the team of four people. It was Li Chen who launched a soul spell, the soul-searching method from the Star Soul Containment Technique.

Of course, this move can only be used when there is a big gap in the soul levels of both parties.

The strongest middle-aged man among the four is only a fourth-level peak (initial general) psychic, but this system's control over itself is too crude and its soul is not strong.

Even the strongest middle-aged man's soul strength was only at the brigadier general level. Naturally, Li Chen easily detected their souls.

"Seven years ago, the zombie virus broke out, and the total remaining human population was less than 7 billion... The World United Government was established, and the human base city was established..."

Li Chen sorted out the information he had obtained and was shocked. This was simply a world of Resident Evil mixed with super powers.

The timeline of this world is now 2068. Seven years ago, the source of the virus broke out in a reservoir in America.

However, people did not care at first because the symptoms of infection were similar to those of the flu, except that people would lose their memory of the past few days.

Under this trend, the virus called X-G quickly swept the world.

Within a few months, some infected humans began to mutate. They had no breathing, pulse or heartbeat, but were still able to move. Their bodies even became extremely strong, and they turned into zombies that only knew how to devour corpses and eat flesh.

Faced with powerful zombies, the hot weapons that humans were proud of at the beginning can still be effective, because at this time they are only facing zombies of level one to three (soldier level), and the lethality of firearms is sufficient.

But after a while, zombies above level four appeared. Their even more terrifying speed and strength made them almost ignore most weapons and swept through the human army in an instant.

In this way, mankind fell into the most terrible crisis since the birth of civilization.

Countless ordinary people were slaughtered. Even the most advanced electromagnetic weapons and high-powered missiles seemed so powerless when facing zombies above level seven with special abilities.

In just two years, the world's population of 139 billion has been reduced to less than 20 billion.

The remaining humans formed a world united government and built a human base city with the most advanced technology, which was divided into the main city and the four major cities of Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise.

At the same time, new technologies such as individual energy armor and Shura material weapons were born under the pressure of survival. Humanity finally had room to breathe.

The X-G virus did not bring all destruction. Those humans who were infected with the virus but survived without mutating, awakened their own special powers.

The four strongest among them reached the king level and were called the Four Superpower Kings.

Relying on energy armor, Shura material weapons and the joint efforts of many psychics, humans finally regained some of their lost territory.

However, the situation is still urgent, because on the zombie side, there are also several ninth-level peak (general-level peak) strongmen, as well as the zombie leader who surpasses any other superpower king - the Blood Demon King!

Therefore, the human beings nowadays can only rely on the four great superpower kings to make the Blood Demon Emperor afraid, so they have some breathing time.

"Senior?" The middle-aged man named Zhao Heng asked when he saw Li Chen standing still.

Coming back to his senses, Li Chen sorted out the information and then said, "Go on, you guys talk."

It turns out that when they were sent out to search for resources this time, they also had a secret mission that only a few resource search teams knew about.

This former prefecture-level city numbered 052 also hides a blueprint for an energy armor upgrade chip. A zombie tide a year ago accidentally led to the collective death of that scientific research team here.

"Oh, I understand. I can go with you. As for the resources... I don't want the blueprints either. The rest can be split 50-50.

I haven't joined any acropolis or affiliated cities yet, so please lead me to your Suzaku Acropolis." Li Chen nodded and said.

"Really? Thank you very much, senior. Then let's set off after some rest. The prefecture-level city code-named 052 should be only 300 kilometers away from us." Zhao Heng said in surprise.

Hearing the other party's words, Li Chen readily agreed: "Okay, let's rest here first."

After all, he was not in a hurry. It would be the same whether he went early or late. It was a good opportunity for him to sort out his thoughts and plan what to do next.

As soon as he finished speaking, the four members of Zhao Heng's team took out the tents and other things they carried with them. However, in order to avoid attracting zombies, they all ate dry food and did not make a fire to roast the food.

As for keeping warm, among the few people, Li Chen is a cultivator of the sixth level of Qi Refining, and Zhao Heng's team consists of three third-level psychics (peak soldier level) and one fourth-level peak psychic (peak initial general level). There is no need to keep warm in this environment.

With Li Chen's strength, he just needs to practice his skills and regulate his breathing. As long as he is willing, he will just feel a little hungry after not eating for a month or so.

But as a monk, he always has some appetite, so he took out a bag of beef jerky from the system space and started chewing it.

“The power of heaven and earth in this world is actually much clearer than that in the Armor World. No wonder a king-level being was born there.

The so-called virus outbreak was probably just a trigger, which happened to strengthen the genes of some humans, allowing them to reach the level where they can directly absorb the power of heaven and earth.

The truth behind superpowers is that they absorb the power of heaven and earth and keep it in their bodies, and from then on they have the power to control these powers. However, everyone's talents and strengths are different, which leads to a variety of abilities. "

In his mind, Li Chen was still analyzing the information he had obtained before, and said to himself.

"Roar, roar, roar!" The sudden howl of a wild boar woke Li Chen who was thinking.

hum...

The spiritual sense detection was launched, and in a depression 400 meters away, Zhao Heng was confronting an extremely large wild boar, and the auras of the two were surprisingly comparable.

Seeing this, the Seven Star Tiangang Step was activated and Li Chen immediately rushed over.

"A fourth-level zombie boar, could it be that it was attracted here by the previous wave of zombies?" Li Chen thought.

The X-G virus can infect not only humans, but animals as well.

However, very few animals mutated after being infected, and most died directly. Only a few higher vertebrates and aquatic fish turned into zombie beasts.

"Senior, please help. The zombie boar's bristle defense is too strong." Zhao Heng shouted.

Zhao Heng, Mo Yueyan, Lin Feng and Song Yufan joined forces but were unable to capture the zombie boar for a while.

Seeing this scene, Li Chen couldn't help but shake his head. The system of superpowers in this world was too poor.

Apart from the basic practice of breathing techniques to slowly improve and control strength, he had nothing else. His use of his own strength was too crude and he was unable to fully display his full potential.

"Everyone move aside, I'll do it." After saying that, Li Chen drew out the Qinggang magic sword from his treasure bag and approached the zombie boar slowly.

clang!

Li Chen swung his sword and felt the power coming from the blade. He frowned slightly. It was said to be level four, but the defense of this zombie boar was at least level five.

"We still need to use some strength, cut!"

As the sound of "puff" cutting through flesh and blood was heard, Li Chen raised his hand and slashed with the sword. The Qinggang sword, carrying the power of the Demon-Slaying Technique and the Five Elements Bagua Palm, killed the zombie boar with one blow.

"So strong... Even though he has reached the level of a mid-level psychic, I can't see through this senior's strength at all." Zhao Heng was once again shocked by the strength displayed by Li Chen.

After killing the zombie boar, Li Chen turned around and asked, "How did you encounter this zombie boar?"

"It is like this, senior. We were just planning to find a source of water to replenish our water, but we ran into this beast after only walking a few hundred meters." said Mo Yueyan, the girl among the four.

Hearing this, Li Chen shook his head and said, "Let's go back to the camp and rest. It's getting late. We should set off tomorrow morning."

Everyone returned to the camp, Zhao Heng was on duty, and the others were resting. However, they all understood that if there was a real threat, with Li Chen's strength, he would definitely be the first to notice it, just like what happened just now.

No one spoke that night, and everyone spent the night in peace.

The next day, the sky turned pale and gradually brightened. Autumn wind blew through the dense jungle, carrying away many red leaves. It was like an autumn scene.

"Let's go. I'm faster and you guys try to keep up." As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chen's figure had already rushed out more than a hundred meters.

Zhao Heng glanced at the latter's back and said, "Let's go quickly too. Don't hold the senior back. Let's go!"

The four-member team also accelerated their journey, following Li Chen's footsteps closely, and headed towards the city code-named 052.

The strong wind blew away the dead leaves on the ground. If you looked down, it was like a sharp sword cutting through the fallen leaves.

Everyone's speed was far beyond that of a normal person. Even compared to Li Chen's slowed down speed, it was still slow. But after more than three hours, they saw the outline of the high-rise buildings in the city code-named 052.

"It's just ahead, let's go into the city." Li Chen looked back at the four-man team that had just arrived behind him, slowed down and walked into the abandoned city.

Zhao Heng and his friends finally caught up with Li Chen and followed him in.

Although everyone had seen the ruins of abandoned cities, they were still shocked by the scene before them. The feeling of desolation and sadness was overwhelming.

The ground is covered with weeds and insects, the high-rise buildings are broken and collapsed, and there are dried and solidified bloodstains. There is no life here anymore.

"Tsk, get ready for battle, there are quite a lot of them." Li Chen said coldly.
