Wasteland for All: I Can Infinitely Upgrade My Vault

Chapter 36 The Only Way Out of a Desperate Situation

In the wasteland, the bright white moon is a symbol of holiness and a manifestation of hope!

Seeing the light soaring into the sky from her territory, Hongluan immediately clenched her fist with joy, ignoring the burns on her skin, her bright eyes sparkling: "It's the Holy Maiden's Moon Essence, wonderful!"

Suzaku nodded slightly, her expression cold and alluring: "As long as the Holy Maiden has the Moon's Radiance state for a long enough time, with her strength, even if she relies on passively regenerated life, she can maintain her vitality for a long time."

These words were both hopeful and cruel. Zhong Li felt a pang of sorrow, his chest heaving with suppressed pain. The so-called "maintaining life" meant that the saintess's condition had recovered somewhat, allowing her to bleed for a longer period.

The hideous and terrifying cracks within her body were like demonic claws in the darkness, mercilessly tearing at her flesh. As soon as the Moon's Radiance disappeared, she would continuously bleed profusely under the Blood Moon, suffering endless pain.

Zhong Li could hardly imagine what kind of strong will it took for her to smile at him.

Before Zhongli could dwell on his lingering resentment for long, the monster's terrifying roar drew near again!

And the number of them was increasing, the sounds were dense and terrifying, like a horde of beasts rushing in.

Zhong Li quickly gathered his thoughts and calmly began to plan the tactics: "There are many monsters, but we can't simply rush in and destroy their special force field shields. You guys then focus fire and kill them instantly. We must ensure that not a single second of the Moon Blossom buff is wasted! Ideally, the Saintess's Moon Blossom buff should just dissipate as the next Moon Blossom is applied immediately!"

"In other words, we must ensure that the next mutated creature is killed the instant the Saintess's Moonflower state dissipates!"

Hongluan frowned deeply: "This kind of risk arrangement is too risky."

Zhuque nodded in agreement with Zhongli's plan, saying, "We've reached our most dangerous predicament in the fight against Crimson. Without the courage to fight to the death, we can't possibly change the situation. We must give the Holy Maiden enough time to recover her full vitality so we can gather more strength. I'll lure the monster away; you all need to be ready to kill it at any time."

Zhongli raised his head and gazed at Zhuque's beautiful face. Her phoenix eyes were long and bright, with slightly upturned corners, exuding both charm and sharpness. Such a beautiful girl should have been enjoying the care and admiration of thousands, but in this apocalypse, she stepped forward, made the most decisive deployment, and took on the most dangerous responsibility.

Given the perilous nature of war, Zhongli had no room for hesitation. He immediately drew his longsword, tossed the [Crystal Fungus Stimulant No. 3] and [Enchanted Moonlight Thread] to Zhuque, and said, "Execute this plan!"

The words had barely faded with the wind when pairs of blood-red beast eyes lit up in the dark, crimson haze.

Suzaku fired first, its blazing red particle beam illuminating the darkness.

A total of 5 Red-Eroded Mutant Creatures!

Besides the four Crimson Annihilators, there is also a Crimson Mutant Running Bat! This is a gigantic monster resembling both a wolf and a bat. Its body has swelled due to its long-term consumption of flesh and blood, and its entire body is covered in twisted muscles. Its strength is enough to crush a tank or an entire army that thinks it can defeat it. Its powerful lower limbs and broad flaps allow it to hunt prey by gliding and leaping swiftly.

Moreover, it is level 9 and has a combat power of 29 points!

Faced with such terrifying, mutated monsters, the human body is utterly vulnerable and can be easily torn to pieces.

Suzaku, however, showed no fear. Her particle beam struck the monster's jaw directly, smashing its mouth open and causing it to ooze copious amounts of pus and blood. The holy damage from the enchanted moonlight threads immediately drew the monster's furious gaze, and it charged straight at her.

Faced with this rampaging, unstoppable monster, Suzaku remained calm, his steps steady as he fired and retreated.

Meanwhile, Zhongli, Hongluan, and Liulu were also going all out. Although they couldn't kill the monster directly, they still managed to reduce its health.

The holy damage effect began to trigger, and after the bullet was fired, flesh and blood flew everywhere from the monster's body.

The enraged monsters immediately pounced on Zhong Li and the others, their stench almost palpable.

"The Saintess's Moonflower has vanished!" Liulu's voice rang out at the same time.

Zhongli immediately gained a clear understanding of the Moon's Essence, which lasts for 8-9 seconds!

From the moment the moonlight shone, he had been silently counting down the time in his mind, and he was quite certain that the number would not deviate too much.

"Durian, fire with all your might! Fire Dance, follow me and focus fire on the monster!" Zhong Li calmly ordered.

"Understood! Let them see what I'm capable of!"

The grenade launcher exploded with a deafening roar, the spinning bullets shattering in the middle of the monsters, sparks flying everywhere within a ten-meter attack range.

Monsters are not without intelligence; they can also dodge attacks, easily leaping away from the flames of an explosion.

On the battlefield, there will not be a large number of enemy units densely clustered within a few meters.

That's exactly the effect Zhongli wanted!

When Huo Wu's [Judgment of Justice] effect is triggered, no unit other than the target unit can damage Huo Wu for 3 seconds.

But Huo Wu's counterattacks remained effective, a powerful ability granted to her by the blessing of the Holy Maiden Ye Wei. Her expression was cold as she resolutely held her sword, blocking Zhong Li's path, facing the three-headed monster alone. In an instant, her blazing sword unleashed several chilling sword shadows, the red sword light seemingly slicing through the entire space.

Fighting at close range near Zhongli, the three-headed monster's force field shields all dissipated. They couldn't bite Huowu, but they suffered Huowu's holy damage and the bombardment of the grenade launcher. The monsters were extremely intelligent and refused to stand still near Zhongli and die in vain.

They immediately scattered, using their special force field shields to pierce the flames bursting from the grenade launchers, charging towards Suzaku and Liulu respectively. Depending on the level of threat, two monsters charged towards Suzaku, and one towards Liulu. The plan was to eliminate these two ranged disruptors first, and then return to tear them apart once Huowu's damage immunity wore off. With the enemy possessing special protection, gathering in one place without first eliminating their ranged attackers would give them an opportunity to unleash a concentrated barrage.

It was this reaction that caused them all to perish.

Durian decisively threw her dagger, hitting the monster's foreleg joint as it charged towards her. The monster's movement speed, which was over 20, was reduced to the teens, making it unable to overwhelm Durian anymore. Meanwhile, Vermilion Bird's movement speed was not much slower than the monster's, and with her Arcane Leap ability every 10 seconds, the monster couldn't even touch her.

In the current situation, the monsters could no longer pose a fatal threat. Therefore, within a minute, all four monsters were killed in battle.

Despite the intense battle, there was still no battle resolution. This indicates that monsters are still gathering here from the darkness!

Zhong Li took a deep breath, walked to the monster's corpse, quickly collected the red corrosive liquid bubbles, and checked the explosion.

[Ding, you have searched the remains of a Crimson Annihilator]

[Ding! Obtained 1 Beginner Wasteland Relic]

[Ding, Rune x20]

[Ding! You have obtained Crimson Claws x2]

Monster drops are pitifully low!

Zhongli refused to believe it and immediately searched the remains of the second monster, only to find that even runes had not dropped.

Hongluan stood aside and watched Zhongli reluctantly examine all the monster corpses. She was silent for a moment before speaking, "Killing Crimson Devouring Creatures rarely yields ordinary items; there is only a very low probability of obtaining high-value resources."

"You mean this?" At this moment, Zhong Li was beaming with excitement as he stood up from beside the Crimson Annihilator he had just killed, holding up a shimmering red gem.

[Bloody Pineal Gland]! Activate to increase combat power by 1!

Everyone's eyes lit up. Liu Lu jumped up happily, waving her hands and cheering, "Yay! Good luck is on our side! Items that increase attributes have an extremely low drop rate!"

Just as everyone was wearing faint smiles, Suzaku's alluring voice came from beside the enormous corpse of the Crimson-Eater Bat: "Perhaps it's not just this, Administrator. There's an important discovery here that requires your attention."
